NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: From facts presented to the Planning Commission, the Commission finds that the tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract 81-5" Bonita Crest, is in conformance with the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan and the various elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following: 1. The site is physically suitable for residential development and the proposal conforms to all standards establ ished by the City for such proj ects. 2. The design of the subdivision will not~fect the existing improvements-- streets, sewer, etc.--which have been designed to avoid. any serious prob 1 ems. 3. The project is in substantial conformance with the Chula Vista General 'Plan Elements as follows: a. Land Use - The El ~ancho del Rey Specific Plan designates the area for medium/high density residential, a range of 11 to 18 dwelling units per acre, which permits a maximum of 73 units on the four \ (JL{ 39 acres. The, developer proposes to construct 60 units. b. Circulation - The development will be served by an existing major road and a private street system. No roads are needed through the project site t~ serve adjacent properties. c. Housing - The proposed project will provide needed housing in the commun ity. d. Conservation - The proposed slopes on the north side of the project will be blended into the designated open space area to the north. e. Parks and Recreation, and Open Space - The proposed development will be required to pay fees in lieu of the dedication and improvement of park lands. The map conforms to the Open Space Element. . f. Seismic Safety and Safety - No known faults exist within close proximity to the subject property. The site is well within the response time of the fire station on Otay Lakes Road. g. Noise - All dwellings are to be designed so as not to exceed a maximum interior noise level of 45 dBA. h.

Public Buildings - No public buildings have been designated on the subject property. 4. Pursuant to Section 66412.2 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Commission . certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the publ ic service needs of the residents. of the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Planning Commission. recommends that the City Council approve the tentative map for Chula Vista Tract 81-5, Bonita Crest, subject to the following conditions: 1.

PROJECT APPLICANT: Ray Huffman Construction 2700 Adams St. San Diego, CA 92116 CASE NO. IS-81-27 DATE: February 12, 1981 A. Project Setting The project is located on the north side of East H Street about 1000 ft. west of Otay Lakes Rd. Most of the site was qraded in 1972 when East H St. was extended westerly from Otay Lakes Rd. and Units 1 and 2 of El Rancho del Rey were graded. Most of the area is the~efore void of significant vegetation or archaeological resources excepting the mature street trees existing along East H St. The property to the north is a vacant canyon area designated as open space on the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan. To the east is vacant land area proposed for commercial development. East H St., residential development and Southwestern College are located to the south of the site. The vacant land to the west is designated for residential use at 6-10 du/ac. ' B. Project Description The proposed project consists of the construction of 60 townhouse units on 4.07 acres. Garage parking for 120 cars is proposed in addition to 21 open parking spaces. A pool, jacuzzi, and recreation building are also proposed. Two vehicle access points to East H St. are proposed. C. Compatibility with zoning and plans The project area is located within the North College Sectional Planning Area, which is an element of the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan. A variance from the City's adopted "west to east development policy" was granted by the City Council on Sept. 12, 1979 to allow development of 2.6 acres at this locattion. The project proponent later requested and obrained approval to expand the project limits to a total of 4.07 gross acres. The proposed project conforms with the General Plan and associated elements. city of chula vi~ta planning department environmental review section @lQ /0<-["'59 (2 ) D. Identification of environmental effects 1. Soils A soils report (Catlin & Co., Inc. Oct 1980) has been prepared and submitted by the proponent. Highly expansive soils were identified on the site and recommendat'ions have been made by the Soils Engineer to mitigate all adverse soils impacts. 2. Noise An Environmental Noise Analysis was prepared by San Diego Acoustics, Inc. on November 6, 198'0 for the proposed proj ect. Using projection figures for the ultimate utilization of H St., the analysis indicates that additional noise controlling features are necessary to meet State of Calif. minimum standards. Construction methods shall assure that noise levels within the units are reduced to a maximum of 45 dBA Ldn. 3. Biology A biological field check (WESTEC Services, Inc.) was conducted and the results of which prepared on August 6, 1980 for the oritinal 2.6 acre parcel. A supplemental report was prepared for the additional acreage on October 22, 1980. The results of both surveys indicate that no significant biological impacts are foreseen from project development or offsite grading. 4. Schools The local junior high school and elementary school are currently operating at or above capacity. New students from the proposed proejct will further increase current enrollment. Evidence of the developers compliance with public facilities policies will be required to be submitted and will ensure adequate classroom space for new students. 5. Parks The project will generate the need for additional park facilities with the park district (No. 11). The applicant will be required to pay fees for acquisition and ,development of future parks prior to development. 6. Energy Although the anticipated energy demands of the proposed project are not considered significant, 'an effort should still be made to provide, to the extend feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. (The Solar Rights Act of 1978) Architectural design elements, i.e., roof design and orientation, should also be examined for adaptability to I oC(~ 7 (3) active solar facilities. Local ordinances may, in the near future, mandate the installation of solar energy systems and the guarantee of solar access rights, therefore the developer should 'give this strong consideration at the design phase. 7. Scenic Highways '!,. East H Street is current designated in the Scenic Highways element of the Chula Vista General Plan, as a "Scenic Highway" The developer should consider the guidelines contained in that document when preparing grading and landscape plans. E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant impacts 1. Recommendations contained in the soils report prepared for this project (Catlin & Co., Inc. Oct. 1980) shall be incorporated into the project to ensure stable construction. 2. Construction methods shall assure that noise levels within, all units be reduced to a maximum of 45 dBA Ldn. 3. The developer shall pay fees for the acquisition and development of future parks prior to project implementation. 4. The developer shall comply with public facilities policies prior to project implementation. 5. Guidelines wtihin the Scenic Highways element of the General Plan shall be considered when designing grading and landscape plans. F. Findings of insignificant impact 1. There are no significant natural or manmade resources within the project area which could be adversely effected by project implementation_ 2. Development of the project would be at variance with the General Plan ("west to east development policy"), however, because of the relatively small project area, no substantial disadvantage of long term environmental goals is anticipated due to project implementation. 3. All potential impacts can be mitigated and although a variance from the General Plan has been granted to allow development, a precedent cannot be set for another variance, therefore no growth inducing impacts are anticipated from that action. 4. The project will not create any source of significant noise or odors, nor will any hazards to human beings result. loCf~9 (4 ) G.
