C. DISCUSSION
The property is located on the southwest corner of Hunte Parkway and North
Golf Course Vista Drive within the EastLake Greens Planned Community. The
EastLake II GDP and EastLake Greens SPA designate the site for Residential
(attached) Medium High Density (1118 du/ac) at a target yield of 146
units. The proposal is for 146 units on 11-68 acres, which results in a
net density of 12.5 du/ac. The site sits above the abutting streets to
the north and east, and adjoins the golf course on the west and south.
The project involves a total of 146 two-story townhouse units in four-plex
and six-plex buildings. The street system consists of private drives,
with a primary loop and motor courts which provide access to garages
located at the rear of the structures. Guest parking is provided in bays
and along the primary loop. The common recreation area will feature a
swimming pool, tot lot, pergola and restroom building. Each unit also has
a private patio.
D. FINDINGS
Pursuant to Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the tentative
subdivision map for Cambridge at EastLake Greens, Chula Vista Tract 91-5,
is found to be in conformance with 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 established by the City for such
projects.
2. The design of the subdivision will not affect the existing
improvements -- streets, sewers, etc. -- which have been designed to
avoid any serious problems.
3. The project is in substantial conformance with the Chula Vista
General Plan Elements as follows:
a. Land Use The residential type and density proposed is
consistent with the EastLake II GDP and the EastLake Greens SPA
Plan.
b. Circulation - The street system consists of private streets and
drives consistent with City standards. Participation in the
East Chula Vista TPP has been required.
c. Housing - The project will provide an attached housing product
consistent with the overall mix approved for EastLake Greens.

Agenda Item for Meeting of June 26, 1991 Page 6
d. Conservation The conservation of major land forms and
environmentally sensitive areas was addressed by the EastLake I
and II GDP's and the EastLake Greens SPA Plan. The project is
consistent with those plans.
e. Park and Recreation, Open Space The overall
park/recreation/open space program has been established by the
GDP and SPA. The proposal is consistent with that program.
f. Seismic Safety - There are no major geologic constraints on the
site. Specific mitigation measures pertaining to grading, soil
and slope stability, fill materials and foundation design have
or will be incorporated into the project.
g. Safety The project will have to show compliance with the
City's threshold standards for public services prior to the
approval of final maps and the issuance of building permits.
h. Noise All dwellings will be designed so as not to exceed
interior noise levels of 45 dBA. An acoustical report has been
required prior to grading.
i. Scenic Highway Landscaped open space is proposed along the
Hunte Parkway Scenic Road.
j. Bicycle Routes - All of the major streets within EastLake Greens
have been designed to accommodate bicycle travel.
k. Public Buildings - No public buildings are planned or proposed
within the project boundaries. The project is subject to the
payment of Eastern Area Development Impact Fees.
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 public service needs of the residents of the City
and the available fiscal and environmental resources. The designated
mixture of SFD/SFA and apartment mix within EastLake Greens was
evaluated and acted on by the Planning Commission during
consideration of the Greens SPA.
5. To the extent feasible, structures have been sited and sized in a
manner to provide for passive or natural heating and cooling
