C. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On April 22, 1981 the Planning Commission recommended, by a vote of 4-2, that the
City Council approve the tentative map for Bonita Long Canyon Estates, Chula Vista
Tract 81-4, in accordance with resolution PCS-81-4, (A copy of the Planning Commission
minutes is included in Council's packets.)
D. DISCUSS ION
1. Existing site characteristics.
The subject property, which is vacant, is located at the southeast corner of the
Bonita Long Canyon Equestrian Estates Sectional Planning Area and is bounded by the Bonita
Hacienda subdivision, Bonita Vista High School, Southwestern College Estates Unit 3, and
the extension of East "H" Street on the south and west sides. The northeasterly property
line follows the bottom of Long Canyon. The property abuts the 250 foot SDG&E easement
on the north side and includes a portion of Corral Canyon Road extended on the easterly
portion of the site. The property has an average natural slope ranging between 10 and
20 percent. The property ranges in elevation from approximately 300 feet to a high of
527 feet.
2. Tentative subdivision map.
a. The developer proposes to subdivide the 81.5 acres of land into 199 single
family residential lots with an average lot size of 9,500 sq. ft. and one 25.3 a.cre open
space lot, for a density of 2.44 dwelling units per gross acre. The lots will be
developed with conventional single family detached dwelling units. The project will be
served by a public street system which will extend three existing stubbed streets which
are: 1) East "H" Street; 2) Baylor Av~nue; and, 3) Via Hacienda. In addition, a portion
of Corra 1 Canyon Road (i n the same a 1 i gnment of Rutgers Avenue) wil'l be graded and
extended, but not improved.

b. Tne subdivision is essentially divided into two areas. The largest area,
containing 133 lots and abutting Bonita Vista High School, will receive its access
from Baylor Avenue at the south end and Via Hacienda at the north. The smaller area
containing 66 lots, is located on the north side of the extension of East "H" Street
on the easterly portion of the subdivision. This area will be served by a single entry
road splitting into two cul-de-sac streets. None of the lots will front on East "H"
Street or Corral Canyon Road.
3. Gradi ng.
The project will require extensive grading, consisting of approximately 700,000
cubic yards of cut and fill. The proposed grading will fill a portion of Tiffany Park
in order to provide for the extension of East "H" Street. The developer will be
required to restore the disturbed portion of the park, which will amount to approxi-
mately one acre. Tne cost of restoration will be deducted from the Park Acquisition and
Development fees collected for the subdivision. The majority of the open space lot will
remain natural with some fill slopes created. Unless offsite grading approval is
obtained, the proposed grading will create a berm between lots 142 and 143 and the
abutting lots to the west. The developer should actively pursue permission to grade to
eliminate or reduce the berm which could benefit the existing lots by providing them
more usable area and a view to the east.
4. Adjacent development.
The Bonita Haciendas subdivision located to the west has been graded but has not
been improved at this time. Until the streets within that subdivision are improved,
all of the lots in the vicinity of Bonita Vista High School would be required to use
Baylor Avenue for ingress and egress. To reduce the impact, the Planning Commission
has recommended that construction not be allowed in this area until a connection is
made with Via Haciendas to Otay Lakes Road, either by the adjacent development or by
the developer of this project.
5. Open space and maintenance.
In addition to the large open space lot adjacent to Long Canyon, the developer will
be required to dedicate and improve a level 10 foot area adjacent to East "H" Street
and Corral Canyon Road as well as a return area on both sides of "I" Street. The
majority of the lots abutting the open space will have lot lines extending horizontally
25 feet down the slope. The property line will be defined by a level terrace drain
7 feet in width which will include a bench drain and access for the maintenance of the
open space. Maintenance of the slopes within the property lines will be the responsi~
bility of the homeowners, whereas, all the other areas will be maintained by the open
space maintenance district.
6. Offsite improvements.
The developer will be required to extend East "H" Street through to Otay Lakes Road.
This connection will reduce the amount of traffic using the streets extending southerly
of East "H" Street. In addition, East "H" Street wi 11 be extended from its easterly
improved terminus to the Rutgers Avenue/Corral Canyon Road intersection. Also required
will be the improvement of the east side of Otay Lakes Road north of the SDG&E easement
to the existing improvements further to the north. Another offsite improvement will
be an extension of the sewer main from the northerly boundary of the subdivision to the
existing sewer main in the Bonita Ridge subdivision.
