[ 29 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: August 13t 1974 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approval of site plan for E1 Rancho del Rey Unit 3 West, PUD-74-2 - Otay Land Company INITIATED BY: Director of Planning A. BACKGROUND 1. The El Rancho del Rey Planned Unit Development Area A was approved by the Planning Commission in July, 1971. Area A incorporates 300 acres, of which this site plan is a small part. The overall PUD was approved with 20 conditions or development guidelines, all of which apply to this request. Conformance of this site plan with those conditions will be discussed later in the report. 2. A tentative subdivision map accompanies this request. 3. An Initial Study (IS-74-25) of possible adverse environmental impacts of this project was conducted by the Environmental Review Committee. On July 3, 1974 the E.R.C. concluded that there would be no significant impacts and made a negative declaration. No appeal was made during the appeal period and it became final on July 18, 1974. B. ANALYSIS 1. Project Setting The proposed development comprises 8.75 acres of land lying directly south of E1 Rancho del Rey Unit 1, west of Bonita Vista Way, and taking access off the western end of Buena Vista Court.

[ ] 2. Site Characteristics The site is generally level at the north end, sloping moderately to the south into the manufactured slopes which were created with the construction of Buena Vista Way. The site is barren of plant growth. Views from the site are to the south and southwest across Telegraph Canyon Road onto the Otay Ranch property. Supplemental Page no. 2 DR c __ .. 3. Proposed Site Plan a. The project proposes 38 condominium units on 6.6 acres of property. An additional 1.2 acres is set aside for a future park. The density of the project is 5.7 units per acre. This compares toa previous plan showing 52 units, and to the yield permitted under the approved PUD of 39 units (the approved PUD map will be on display at the meeting). . b. The units are clustered in buildings containing 3 to 7 condominiums. Under the "condominium overship" concept, the residents will own the air space inside their units and the Home Owners Association owns the shell of the buildings and the land underneath, as well as the common areas. c. The private street connecting to Buena' Vista Court will provide access to all units in a T-shaped pattern ending in a cul-de-sac at the north end and a T-shaped turn around at the south end. d. The units on the exterior boundaries (south and west), totaling 29, are situated so as to maximize the available views. . The interior units will not enjoy these views but will be closer to the recreation area and the city park to the north. e. The developer proposes to build two full-size tennis courts within the existing public park. The location of the courts enables the developer to provide additional recreation facilities to the residents (although the courts will be pUblic) without using up his own land. This-arrangement is acceptable to the staff. f. Conformance with PUD Policy. The project features generally conform to the development guidelines set forth in the PUD Policy (Council Resolution 7077). A number of things remain to be accomplished (landscaping; preparation of CC&R's, etc.).but these will be done in conjunction with the preparation of grading and improvement plans and the final map.. . g. Conformance to Development Area A Guidelines of PUD-7l-2 (1) As noted, the proposed density under the site plan conforms to that approved under PUD-71-2. (2) The site plan also conforms to some of the 20 guidelines approved by the Pl~nning Commission fon Development Area A. Those guidelines which remain to be observed are: 1 through 6, 8, 10, 12 through 16, and 18 as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution PUD-71-2, dated July 6, 1971. These conditions will also be fulfilled in the preparation of the more detailed plans and documents. (A copy of Resolution PUO-71-2 is enclosed for the Council's information). . h. Consistency of PUD site plan and tentati~e map. The plan and tentative map do not show the same information and are somewhat misaligned. These differences will need to be corrected. ' i. Architecture. The elevations submitted by the applicant show an attention to detail with regard to aesthetic treatment of all sides of the buildings. Landscaping will be used in a few areas to soften the barren appearance of the stucco walls. The elevations also show the use of composition shingles which, in staff's opinion, will substantially detract from the architectural theme beoause of the prominence of the roofs. The use of shake or cedar shingles was strongly recommended to the Planning Commission. However the Planning Commission recommends the use of comrnposition shingles in order to retain a lower cost unit. (continued on supplemental page 3) f27~J J-- AGENDA ITEM NO. Supplemental Page No. 3 c... FINDINGS f. El Rancho del Rey Unit 3 West will constitute a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability. 2. Tbe project conforms in density and features to the earlier approved PUD-72-1. 3. The project is found to conform to the character of the surrounding neighborhoods and provide substantial open space both within its boundaries and in the adjacent park. 4. The project provides a different and probably lower cost housing type in this area. . . ~7 ~6<;2/ ;..1 ["'''''''.OIT . AtUb .JEPARTMENT OF PLANNING ..........!...........
