PLANNING -COMMISS.IONRECOMMENDATIOO---" On April 22, 1981 the Planning Commission recommended by a vote of 4-2 that the City Council approve the Bonita Long Canyon Sectional Planning Area plan in accordance with Resolution PCM-81-13. A copy of the Planning Commission's minutes is enclosed in Council's packets. D.", DISCUSSION OF MAJOR POINTS " '. ". .......;.!,~ . 1. Number of Dwelling Units. ~ ';J " ."'.:;:. . ". The' applicant's plan proposes approximately 865 dwelling units (809 single family'. ,;',' and 56 condominium units) to be constructed in six phases within the 640 acres. The, ~.:c General Development Plan for El Rancho del Rey, adopted in 1971, authorizes a maximum ':,,/,:. of 653 units, thus, the proposed Sectional Planning Area plan represents a 33% increase', in density. The General Plan for this area designates approximately 609 acres at 1-3 ,', dwelling units per acre and 50 acres at 4-12, allowing for a range of 800-2400 dwelling. units on the property, The requested density is clearly in the lower limits of the City's General Plan, ,'.\' . . . I.'.... " 2. Land Form Alteration and Natural Open Space. ~ ~ " ..~.~" ',:.' ... Forty percent of the 650 acre site will be retained in dedicated open space largeiy. preserved in its natural state. Grading will involve 3-1/3 million cubic yards of f.ill and 2-1/2 million cubic yards of cut. The most intense area of development occurs in Phase I where over 70% of the area is graded for single family lots. Supplemental tree planting in certain canyon areas and planting of fire retardant material will be required as conditions of tentative map approval. 3. Circulation System. a. Some of the existing roads which link the various phases of the Sectional Planning Area are operating beyond their design capacity. In addition, other road segments have not been constr~cted to accommodate the proposed project; therefore, sub- stantial offsite improvements will be required with each phase of construction. The first phase will require improvements to "H" Street (onsite and offsite) as well as Otay La kes Road. b. The 148 dwelling units planned for Phase II will rely on Canyon Drive for ingress and egress until the completion of Phase III allows for additional access to the east. The Planning Commission recommended that development in this area be restricted to 105 lots~ with the remaining lots assigned to later phases of construction.. ..i~" c. The third and fourth phases will involve the connection of Corral Canyori J.~';~~i~~: to ,"H" Street with addi ti ona 1 i mproveme~ts o~ Centra 1 ~venue in accordance with the' .ti,rlljJ.'!;lga~1 ~g mea.syr.~s,( ~our travel lanes) oUtll n~d In, the EnvIronmenta 1 Impact R~p?rt. . ,,';il''1i<~in'';'addl tl on, offs 1 te' 1 mprovements may be requIred 1 n Rutgers Avenue south of H Street .., 3A~,~t~~;comPl et.e the "ffrik)fge".between Ota~ Lakes Road and the eastern areil of Bon,~ :~:'" . :",.r" Q.....~~Qase V.,requires a road connection to an adjacent tentative subdivision area' already approved by the County but not yet constructed.

" .' ~ Approximately three-fourths of the site is part of the Long Canyon basi'n'which "',:,' flows northwest and joins the Sweetwater River just north of Bonita Road. The project' area within that basin constitutes 43% of the total basin. As stated in the environ- mental impact report, "All of the drainage basins in which the project is located ,have existing drainage facilities which are inadequate to one degree or another." Repotts on file with the City indicate that the proposed development will produce only a small ,increase in runoff (4% added, based on 50 year storm) in the total basin. However, because of the inadequacy of existing downstream facilities, the added increase will cause flooding to the already developed housing along Acacia Avenue. The applicant is proposing to solve the downstream inundation problem by using onsite retention basins in Long Canyon to control the amount of flow. With proper design, the system should substantially reduce the present and projected flows in the canyon. The system will require review and approval by the City Engineer. The applicant has the option of improving the downstream drainage facilities at an estimated cost exceeding $700,000 as an alternative to the retention basin plan, However, with little or no money available from other projects to aid in the construction, such a solution places a very costly burden on this project. 6. Elementary School/Park Site. The Sectional Planning Area plan has an elementary school site designated adjacent to the SDG&E easement near the extension of Corral Canyon Road. Although the nearby elementary schools (Tiffany and Sunnyside) are at capacity and the proposed develop- ment will generate an estimated 500 students, the school district is reluctant to make a commitment at this time. A final disposition will be made when a subdivision map is processed for Phase III. The developer is obligated for 6.2 acres of developed park land based on the 865 unit Sectional Planning Area plan. I am recommending that the approved maximum density be set at 826 units, which would require 6.1 acres of park. Since the City can accept developed park land or in lieu fees, the Planning Commission has recommended that fees be collected for Phases I and II with the final decision to construct 'the park withheld until Phase.,I:\:r~;B'ec!!'use of the City's park/school concept, the decision as to whether or not to bUi'l'd'ahet'r5'.rl1k'''as shown on the Sectional Planning Arm pi~n will be predicated in part by the 'clecis'iorfof: ,the school district r~garding the elemen~ary school site.

The 650 unit density established for the property on the 1971 General ~ Development Plan for El Rancho del Rey was based on a very superficial analysis of the site without the benefit of a proposed grading or circulation plan. In addition, lot padding and retention of open space were not considered in the earlier plan. The . Sectional Planning Area plan presented for consideration seeks approval of 865 dwell.ing units. This plan contains more precise design information on which to base a decision regarding the density. Adjacent land uses (type, lot size, character) as well as topo- graphic considerations were evaluated in arriving at a recommendation. " , .> 2) Phase I is located adjacent to a standard single family detached subdivision (Sduthwestern College Estates) and, therefore, reflects a.'. density and lot sizes (typical 7,000 sq. ft.) in keeping with that a~ea. !f,.. Phases II, III and IV abut one-half and one acre county subdivisions~to the north and west and for the most part reflect a mixture of lot sifes with the smaller lots confined to the inner core and easterly periphery of the Phase IV area. The average lot size within these phases varies from 11,000 sq. ft. (Phase IV) to nearly 20,000 sq. ft. (Phase II). 1) . !-" . " :~. :,t:' ~. . ;~; .:,.'~ .

The basic de'n;i~~ of the project reflects what wo'J'ld be expected in,~he City's standard R-E (1/2 acre) and R,E~40 (40,000 sq. ft.) zones. The setback's':"for tho'se zones are 25' front, 15'-20' exterior side, 10'-15' side yards and 25' ;"ear. Since the lots have been clustered so as to preserve substantial areas of natural open snace, the basic lot size is reduced. This reduction in lot size warrants.an adjustment to the traditional setbacks in the R-E and R-E-40 zones. I have recommended that the front yard standard of 25 feet be retained with reductions to side and rear ya.rds more in keeping with R-l-10 standards (10' exterior side, 10' & 5' side yards, and 20' rear yard) . 3) Development standards must be submitted concurrent.,with the. st'ii?'divisio.ol.;'~'" map filed fo~ eac~. p~a~s~':9~di$~a!l.l"JDclude such itefl),s as.c.~rr;,a\l;,: locations"" and any speclal fenclng cntena. ," ....'. ~l'" d. Phase VI is proposed as the most densely developed area with plans calling for 56 dwelling units. The 56 units are proposed on a 4 acre site, however, approxi- ~at91y 2 acres of the site is usable, thereby resultina in a density of 28 units per acre on the developable land. The adjacent condominium development to the north has fewer than 50 units developed on 5 acres with another 5 acres in open space. To be comparable in character, Phase VI should be limited to 20 dwelling units. 2. Equestrian Trails. The plan is criss-crossed with equestrian trails which parallel proposed roads and meander through natural open space and connect to the SDG&E primary east/west trail system as well as adjacent County trails. Minor adjustments to the system, . including required protective fencing, limited grading and corral locations, will be addressed with each tentative map filed on the various phases. Phase I, for example, requires an adjustment to the system to cross into Phase IV at the location of the dam for the. retention basin. Easements will be necessary to establish trails across certain lots; signing and fencing will be required where deemed appropriate by the City. 3. Landscaping. The majority of the ungraded area will be left in its natural state; however, because of the potential for canyon fires, an area 25 feet wide, beyond each pad abutting common open space, will be cleared and planted with fire retardant material. Irrigation of these areas will be the responsibility of the individual homeowner. Supplemental tree planting will be required in specific canyons and/or drainage areas to enhance the overall appearance of the development. An overall tree planting scheme will be required for Phases I-V prior to recordation of the subdivision map for Phase I. ~GJ9 Required landscaping ~djacent to lots backing up to .'~H" St~eet.and Corral Canyon Road wi 11 be under the malntenace contract of the.,o.p~n ..spa,cetd1$,Jir,l,f,t.

The elementary school site designated on the plan as 15 acres has approximately 7~ acres of usable area located outside the SDG&E easement. The school district has indicated a need for a minimum of g acres, excluding the easement. Therefore, if the district requires dedication of the site, it appears that the water tank shown abutting the east side of the school would have to be relocated. Staff will work with the applicant's engineer to resolve this matter. The 3 acres encumbered by the SDG&E easement is only partially usable since existing towers supporting 238 KV lines and poles for 69 KV lines are lcoated within this right of way. In addition, officials of SDG&E have indicated that future plans call for additional overhead structures and lines within the right of way. The park site contains approximately 4+ acres of usable land, whereas, the proposed 865 dwelling units would require over 6 acres of park land based on present ordinance standards. As mentioned earlier in this report, the extension of "H" Street will require regrading and relandscaping a portion of Tiffany Park for which credit will be given to the developer. It is estimated at this time that reworking approximately one acre of Tiffany Park will likely result in the developer being obligated. for 5+ acres of additional developed park land on the site. The expansion of the park site will require the elimination of 3 lots shown on the north side of street "P". The uncertainty of the school district as to whether or not they are going to require an elementary school site within the development leaves doubt on the city's part as to whether or not the park should be located within the project. Parks developed independent of schools are more typically 10 acres in size, whereas, joint park/school projects providing for some common use of facilities allow the park to function with 5 acres. The Planning Commission has recommended that the city collect fees with the first two phases of development and withhold a final decision on the park construction until subdivision plans are filed for Phase III. 5. Circulation and Phasing. The 650 acre site is divided into six phases of development, using "H" Street, Otay Lakes Road and Corral Canyon Road as major access points serving the various phases. Phase I will be served by "H" Street and Otay Lakes Road, therefore, improve- ments to those streets are essential to the subdivision. Via Hacienda cannot be connected to Otay Lakes Road until improvements are installed in the adjacent Bonita Hacienda subdivision, therefore, building construction for 133 units' of Phase ~ will be withheld until the'connection can be physically made, . This will 'minimize traffic through Southwestern College Estates.tract. .' . Phase II is planned for 148 dwellings which will utilize Canyon Drive connected to Otay Lakes Road. Until Phase III is developed, Phase II is virtually one.long cul-de-sac with only partial relief provided by another street (Cumbfe View) which connects back to Otay Lakes Road and "H" Street by way of Via Hacienda. The Planning Commission concluded that the approximately 43 lots shown east and south of the inter- section of street "X" and Canyon Road should be included in Phase III rather than Phase II. I oefG Y continued Page 7, Item Meeting Date 6a 5/26/81 Construction of Phases III and IV will create the need to connect Corral Canyon Road with "H" Street and Rutgers. In addition, the City Engineer has determined that Rutgers Avenue should be connected offsite from the south side of "H" Street to the Southwestern College Estates area. However, further evaluation will be conducted when the tentative map is filed for Phase III. Condition 23.a of Planning Commission Resolu- tion PCM-8l-l3 requires the developer to complete Rutgers south of "H" Street. Condi- tion 23.b makes the developer responsible for .the street improvements on the south side of "H" Street from Corral Canyon Road west to the existing improvements. The developer objects to this condition stating that his development already is required to complete' excessive offsite improvements. We really cannot evaluate what his fair share on "H" Street is until a '''reimbursement'' or "fair share" district is developed (see condition 24.c). Bonita Long Canyon was deleted from "H" Street west of Otay Lakes Road because they would build "H" Street east of Otay Lakes Road. Therefore, we believe they should build this segment of "H" Street even though they may receive reimbursement.

Phase V, which includes 157 lots, was originally planned with a loop system involving streets "S", "V" and "R". The system was modified to leave street "R" as a cul-de-sac, hov!ever, this solution is workable only if street "S" can be connected through. to.a lQQ~ street in a County approved tentative subdivision map for property to the west. If street "S" is not extended to the county road system, two cul-de-sac areas. of 2000 foct to 2400 foot lengths are created with streets "S" and "R". The City Engineer,..: Director of Planning, and the City's Fire Marshall all agree that providing a~~onnection from street "S" to the planned loop street in the county helps the overall circulation pattern in both the county and the city and is an important link for emergency vehicles. The primary problem in extending the road is that the County has already approved a . subdivision which eliminated any road connection in this area because of objections raised by nearby residents in the county. In its place a secondary access road was re- quired by the developer of the county subdivision to connect northerly to Central Avenu.e. A requirement placed on this developer to provide for the extension of "S" street to:~tne'.county subdivision would necessitate condemnation or purchase of an approved su~:~;i'v'i~ion lot, t?g~ther with approval.from the County. ~onditions .could .p.{W}iqly..... chq.nge lf the subdlvlslon map explres wlthout the recordatlon of a flnal map':';.Ji.The Council should authorize the Mayor to submit a letter to the Board of Superv.l~,9rs . ~xging the approval of this street connection. ?:\.

CC&R's The applicant will be required to file CC&R's with the City which will prohibit the splitting or resubdivsion of any lot. This condition is necessary because of the wide variety of lot sizes within the property. 9. Annexation. The applicant has made inquiries regarding annexation, however, no application has been filed as of this date. Because of the inter-relationship of the various phases, I recommend that the entire 650 acres be annexed before final map approval is given to Phase I. 10. Development Standards. The development standards submitted by the applicant are incomplete and inconsistent with the Sectional Planning Area plan filed with the City. Revised development standards should be filed with each tentative map on a phase by phase basis to insure that standards will relate more clearly to each phase of construction. 11. Low/Moderate Income Housing. In general, the 865 unit Sectional Planning Area plan is not designed to accommodate low or moderate income housing. The 56 unit condominium or apartment area, designed for the Phase VI'area, could provide an isolated and limited area for moderately priced .units. However, as outlined early in this report, I cannot support the density requested and recommend authorization of no more than 20 units. for the site.' Under,.present 'poli.cy, the appl icant is required to "address the need" to develop 10% of his units at p,r..ices ' affordable by low or moderate income families.
