streets and slopes gently from north
3. Proposed development.

The site is generally higher than the adjoining
to south.
a. On October 2, 1980 the Design Review Committee approved the development subject
to certain conditions regarding architecture and site planning. The project consists of
6 two-story, three bedroom duplexes with two basic floor plans and exterior designs. The
architectural design is contemporary with shake shingle roofs, stucco exterior, wood trim
and garage doors. Each townhouse unit will have a two car garage with all the required
storage (250 cu. ft.) provided therein. The units will have individual patios ranging from
355 sq. ft. to 426 sq. ft. (100 sq. ft. is required) located at the rear of the units.
b. In addition to the 12 two car garages (24 spaces) there are three onsite parking
spaces, one of which was proposed as a tandem space. The three spaces are required guest
spaces under Section 19.62.050(11) of the zonin9 ordinance. Vehicular access is provided

by a 24 foot wide driveway on Quintard Street and a 20 foot wide driveway on First Avenue.
The two driveways are separated by a landscaped area in the center of the project, eliminating
the abil ity to drive through the: site.
c. The proposed grading' plan will necessitate the construction of a number of
retaining walls primarily on the' periphery of the project in order to achieve the maximum
usable area of the property. The retaining walls will be softened by landscaping. None of
the walls will exceed 3~ feet in height.
4. Drainage.
At the Planning Commission meeting some of the residents in the immediate vicinity
expressed concern over the drainage in the area. Since the meeting the Engineering Depart-
ment has conducted an investigation of the drainage history for this section of Chula Vista
and found that the problems described by the residents were a result of rains occurring during
the construction of an adjoining development. There has been no recurrence and drainage
should be enhanced by the development of this subdivision (see Exhibit A).
ANALYSIS
The proposed development either meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for condominium
projects and for the R-3 lone. However, of the 27 parking spaces provided onsite, one was
proposed as a tandem space which the Planning Commission has recommended be replaced with
an onsite parallel space near the north end of the project. Because of the problem associated
with tandem parking, I concur with the Commission recommendation.
