FINAL Environmental Impact Report For Morgan-Gardner Subdivision EIR-76-11 Issued by the Environmental Review Committee January 20, 1977 Adopted by the Planning Commission ~'larch 9, 1977 Prepared by: Inter-City Engineers 7075 A Mission Gorge Rd. San Diego, CA 92120 (ozeo l-) 1.0 1.1 INTRODUCTION Purpose. The purpose of this report is to provide information to enable the public, the City of Chula Vista and other interested agencies to sufficiently analyze the envirofu~ental impact of the subject development. This report is prepared at the request of the City of Chu1a Vista. It is the "draft environmental impact report" as set forth in the City of Chula Vista, "Environmental Review Policy" (adopted March 18, 1975). It is submitted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, and the California Administrative Code. 1.2 Executive Summary. This project encompasses 32.8 acres of which presently J.6.1 acres arc zoned R-l and 16.7 acres are zoned (or pre-zoned) R-3-P-13. The applicant proposes to proceed initially on an R-l development encompassing 14.0 acres of the project area. At a later date, the remaining 18.3 grcss acres, 16.7 net acres, would be developed as P-3--P-13 property ,..,i tl1 a maximum total of 217 multiple-family units. Annexation of a 2.32 acre parcel of land at the southeast corner of the site is proposed to insure coordinated development of the project. Initially, a~d at the time of the writing of most of this report, the project was envisioned for ( (Jzb b' 3 development in two units. This plan labeled Unit I as the R-I area, (Lots I through 56) and Unit 2 as the R-3 area (Lots 57 through 63). Recently, it was decided to develop the project as one unit encompassing both R-I and R-3 portions of the subdivision. All grading work and construction of public improvements will be done in one phase. The reader is advised that the following report retains reference to Unit I and Unit 2 both in text and in the figure notations. Please be advised that Unit I hereinafter is that portion of the project encompassing Lots 1 through 56 and is single family. Unit 2 is that portion encompassing Lots 57 through 63. All other aspects of the project, as reported, remain unchanged. This Environmental Impact Review is intended to be an objective presentation of relevant information concerning the project site and of the estimated impacts of the Morgan-Gardner Subdivision, both onsite and offsite. In regards to the project site itself, only those aspects 4 -- I OC(P~ of the environment considered to have a possible major significance were examined in detail. For example, the project area was not surveyed by ~ biologist since it is devoid of any significant wildlife habitat or vegetation other than the tree life. Regarding the proposed development of the site, the impacts of the initial phase, the R-l development, are addressed in greater detail. At the time of writing of this Environmental Impact Report, the development details of the R-3 area have not been formalized. Throughout the report, it has been assumed that R-3area will be developed to the maximum allowable density in conformance with the zoning. The project site is within the Sweetwater River flood plain. The lower levels of the site will be filled to a level above the 100 year inundation level. There are drainage problems which could result from the filling of lower levels, however these impacts can be mitigated through good engineering practices. The site will be subject to unacceptable traffic noise impact from both 1-805 and E St. Acoustical protection of the single family area is provided by a cOIT~ination of landscaped mounds and block walls. The multiple family development is required to meet State established standards for interior noise levels. Standards for the approval of the precise plan for this element of the project include the screening of recreational areas from traffic noise impact. I o-CJo C) 5 A small area of the Eucalyptus grove (0.15 acres) will be reIT.oved, however an additional 1.2 acres will be planted with one gallon Eucalpytus trees. Schools in this area are near or over capacity. The generation of students from this project will exacerbate this problem. On a short term basis the project proponent will be providing financial assistance to the school districts. On a longer term basis the effect of this project combined with others In the general area will result in greater pressure for new school facilities. The population of this project will result in the need for additional police protection including a possible inc~ease in staff. Traffic volumes at::he proposed intersection of street "D" and Bonita Road will significantly effect the level of services at this location. The installation of a traffic signal at this intersection would mitigate the adverse impact of the increased traffic and the installCition of street "D". ,- lo-z.-(PC; 6 j .
