DATED - City Cler~ ATTACHMENT #1 RANCHO DEL REY GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN RECOMMENDED FINDINGS 1. THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN, The General Development Plan is consistent with the original intent and purpose of the Rancho Oel Rey Specific Plan, and is, therefore, in conformance with the provisions of the General Plan. The General Development Plan proposes a minor modification in the land plan by proposing a public facility that would serve not only this project, but the surrounding community. 2. A PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC USE OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PLANED COMMUNITY ZONE. The applicant has submitted tentative subdivisions maps to be processed within 30 days of approval of the Sectional Planning Area Plan. 3. IN THE CASE OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND THAT IT WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH AND PROVIDE COMPATIBLE VARIETY TO THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THAT THE SITES PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES SUCH AS SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS, AND PARKS, ARE ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE ANTICIPATED POPULATION APPEAR ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTIONS THEREOF. The General Development Plan for Rancho Del Rey SPA II proposes a mixture of housing types, providing housing opportunities to a wide range of community residents. In addition to that, those housing units will be bordered and served by a significant amount of natural and manmade open space and park systems. All public facilities have been responded to and each generated by this project have been met by the standards and requirements stipulated in the Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis. 4. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND OVERALL DESIGN TO THE PURPOSE INTENDED; THAT THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE. There are no industrial and research uses proposed in SPA-II. 5. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL AND RESEARCH, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER SIMILAR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION AND OVERALL PLANNING TO THE PDRPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH. The General Development Plan proposes additional open space dedication and the improvement along Rice Canyon and improvement of a trail system that would connect Bonita to the Rice Canyon open space system. In addition to this preservation, the plan provides a 5.4 acre neighborhood park that would serve the immediate SPA-II neighborhood needs. A master plan will be required prior to the development of this park to ensure the high quality development as well as protection of adjacent areas. 6. THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON. The conditions contained within the Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis in the SPA Plan will require the timely improvement of all necessary streets and thoroughfares serving this project. 7. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH PROPOSED LOCATIONS. There is no commercial development proposed within SPA-II. 8. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID DEVELOPMENT. The General Development Plan will not alter the planned and existing use of adjacent areas. With respect to those adjacent areas, considerable effort has been made to coordinate development of SPA-II with the existing Terra Nova and Bonita development to both the west and north, respectively. To the east and to the south exist the Rancho del Rey SPA-I project. -2- ATTACHMENT #2 RANCHO DEL REY SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN RECOMMENDED FINDINGS 1. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE RANCHO DEL REY' GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE P-C ZONE AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. Rancho del Rey SPA-II plan reflects the land uses, circulation system, open space, and recreational uses, and public facility uses consistent with the Rancho del Rey General Development Plan. The additional public facility use- is in keepin9 with the intent of the plan by providing necessary public facilities that were not anticipated when the Specific Plan was first adopted in 1985. 2. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA. l"ne SPA-II Plan and the Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis contain provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project. The Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis responds not only to the improvements required because of SPA-II, but also the regional facilities needed to serve this project. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION, OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. All of the land uses within Rancho del Rey SPA-II have taken into consideration existing land use and topographical constraints in order to protect those features and areas from adverse intrusion. The supplemental environmental impact report has reviewed not only the development contained within SPA-II but also the outside impacts to ensure that all impacts generated by this project would be properly mitigated in a manner not detrimental to existing uses. -3- THRESHOLD ANALYSIS RANCHO DEL REY SPA-II Special standards adopted by City policy require that the Rancho del Rey SPA-II project be analyzed to determine whether or not approval of this project will have an adverse impact on the thresholds formulated by the City. Review of the project EIR and other supporting documents of SPA-II provides ample evidence that the project is consistent with the thresholds adopted by the City as shown below. 1. Air Quality No project specific threshold. The project is consistent with the currently adopted Regional Air Quality Maintenance Plan (AQMP), as it is consistent with the E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan, which was included in the AQMP growth forecast. The GMOC in its first annual report to the City Council indicated that the Air Pollution Control District reported that Chula Vista is one of the cleanest air quality areas in the San Diego region. 2. Economics No project specific threshold. The fiscal impact report prepared for SPA-II shows an overall positive fiscal impact on the City of Chula Vista. Basically, cumulative operating revenues are anticipated to exceed cumulative operating costs over the period of time analyzed in the fiscal impact analysis. The development is projected to result in excess revenues of approximately $32,076 per year after operating costs are considered. The results of the fiscal impact analysis in constant 1988 dollars are provided in Table 3-6, page 79, of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. 3. Police Project Threshold: Emergency response with properly staffed and equipped police units within 5 minutes in 75% and 7 minutes in 90% of the cases (measured annually). The project site is located in an area designated as Beat 28. This beat is patrolled by one 24-hour squad car which is broken into three one-man watches. Development of the site in accordance with SPA-II would involve the addition of 1,463 persons to the beat. The emergency response standards as established in the threshold policy can be initially maintained by the existing beat patrol. After build-out of SPA-II, and the addition of personnel, the threshold standards will also be met. Sased on an October 5, 1988, communication from the Director of Public -4- Safety, William Winters, after the build-out of SPA-II the threshold policy will also be met by the Police Department. The cumulative effect of other developments would eventually require splitting Beat 28 into two beats and employing additional patrol officers and Investigative Division staff above the staff identified as required by SPA-II. 4. Fire and Emergency Medical Service Project Threshold: The fire threshold is to respond to 85% of all emergency calls within 7 minutes. Depending on the location of the onsite fire, fire protection response would come from Fire Station No. 2 located on 80 East "J" Street or Fire Station No. 4 located at 861 Otay Lakes Road. There was also a proposed new site at the intersection of Paseo Ranchero and East "H" Street within Rancho del Rey SPA-I. Based on findings in the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, through communications with Marty Chase, the standards as established in the threshold policy are and will continue to be satisfied. 5. Schools. No project threshold. The GMOC has adopted a formal statement of concern regarding the provision of school facilities. In their first annual report, they recommended continual cooperation of the City to mandate ~lello Roos community facilities district participation on the part of major development proposals. Further, they recommended the City cooperate with any additional mitigation measures that might be required. The Rancho del Rey SPA-II project is within a Mello Roos district. Furthermore, Rancho del Rey SPA-I has dedicated a site for an elementary school and Rancho del Rey SPA-III has proposed a site for a junior high school. Because there is available capacity and new schools are currently being planned, the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report identified no new mitigation beyond participation in the Mello Roos district and the dedication of the site as noted above. 6. Library No project threshold. Citywide threshold of 500 sq. ft. of adequately equipped and staffed library facilities per 1,000 population. The Rancho del Rey SPA-I Plan provides a 3.2 acre site for a proposed library facility. The SPA-I and SPA-II cost responsibility, at this point, has not ~een determined, but is expected to be determined by the adoption of the Supplemental Development Impact Fee applicable to all development east of 1-805. -5- 7. Parks and Recreation Project Threshold: 3 acres of neighborhood and community parkland with appropriate facilities shall be provided per 1,O00 residents east of 1-805. There are 52.2 acres of public parks proposed within both SPAs I and II. This acreage includes dedication of a community park, three neighborhood parks, a staging area for pedestrians and equestrians, and a trail system which links all the major open space and residential areas to the park facilities and natural canyon features of the project. Since 1,463 new residents are anticipated by SPA-II, it would generate the need for a 4.4 acre site. There is a 5.4 acre site proposed within SPA-II, thereby complying with the threshold standard. 8. Water Project Threshold: Project to provide a service availability letter from the Water District. In its first annual report, the GMOC adopted a formal "Statement of Concern" on water from the Otay Water District and requested the City Council to adopt a resolution reflecting that concern and forward it to said district. This project is located within the Otay Water District. The projected daily on-site water requirement is 332,400 gallons per day. Assuming on-site water facilities are constructed in accordance with the specifications required by the )~ater District, adequate infrastructure would exist to serve the project. To respond to this project's needs as well as other major projects within the district, the Otay Water District has completed a Water Master Plan. They have also approved an allocation system that would evaluate various types of water service requests and create a system for the allocation of water permits over the next several years. Dependent on the cooperation of area developers with the District, the necessary storage facilities will be constructed and the District can ensure facilities to serve this project. If this occurs, the Water District can commit to provision of water service to this project and the threshold standards would be complied with. Water service availability letter will be required as a condition of approval of the tentative subdivision map. 9. Sewer Project Threshold: Sewage flows and volumes shall not exceed City engineering standards. The sewer system is adequate as designed. The City has sufficient capacity through its Metro contract to accommodate additional flows. A master plan was completed for Rancho del Rey and it was determined that the sewer floods could be accommodated by the system. -6-
