Director of Planning ~
(4/5ths Vote: Yes___ No~)
SUBMITTED BY:
A. BACKGROUND
1. The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative subdivision map known as Gateway
Townhouses, Chula Vista Tract 80-31, for the development of a 205 unit townhouse condominium
project on two lots located on both sides of the 100 block of East Flower Street, north
of Bonita Road and west of 1-805, in the R-3-P-13 zone.
2. On August 27, 1980 the Planning Commission certified the Environmental Impact
Report, EIR-76-11; prepared for the original project (Morgan-Gardner subdivision) on the
property, which proposed the construction of 217 units as compared with 205 units proposed
for this project. A summary of the EIR is forwarded to the City Council for certification.
B. RECOMMENDATION:
Concur with Planning Commission recommendation.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On August 27, 1980 the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the City
Council approve the tentative subdivision map for Gateway Townhouses, Chula Vista Tract
80-31, in accordance with Resolution PCS-80-31.
D. DISCUSSION
1. Existing site characteristics.
The subject property consists of lots 57 (southerly) and 58 (northerly) of the Morgan
Gardner subdivision which have been graded and are vacant except for a grove of eucalyptus
trees at the west end of lot 57. Lot 57 contains 9.04 acres and lot 58 has 8.56 acres.
2. Previously proposed development.
In March, 1978 a precise plan (PCM-78-16) was approved for 217 apartment units on the
two lots. The development consisted of 104 units in six buildings on the northerly lot
and 113 units in 9 buildings on the southerly lot. The structures, of Spanish design,
were a combination of one and two story buildings. The parking was located in large
groupings near the buildings and consisted of a combination of carports and open spaces.
3. Proposed project.
a. The developer has abandoned his original development plans and is now proposing
to construct a condominium project consisting of three story townhouse units. The
structures will appear as two story from the front entry because the ground level of
each pad will be raised around the units to allow for a lower level area devoted to one
and two car garages. The units are connected by balconies which span portions of the
driveway between the garages.

b. Lot 1 (formerly lot 58) will have 101 units contained in 14 buildings ranging
from 6 units to 11 units. Lot 2 (formerly lot 57) will have 104 units located in 9
buildings ranging from 8 units to 12 units.
c. There will be four basic unit types as follows:
Type Bedrooms Lot Lot 2 Total Garage Storage* Private Open Space
A 1 14 22 36 36 (1 car) 200 c.f. 195 s.f. (13'x15')

d. Parking spaces are provided as follows:
Ga rage Open To ta 1 Requi red Excess
Lot 1 188 54 142 145 97
Lot 2 186 28 214 161 53
374 82 456 306 150
4. Circulation.
Access to the units will be provided by a private street system. There will be three
private streets serving lot 1 and two serving lot 2. The main road on lot 2 will be a
loop street with short access roads leading to the units. Lot 1 will not have a loop
street; however, an emergency fire lane will be provided between the two main roads for
fire apparatus. In order to avoid any possible confusion concerning whether the streets
are public or private, the developer proposes to treat each entry with columns and walls
with signs attached indicating "private street." Consideration was given to providing
card actuated gates, however, this would render the guest parking almost useless and force
guests to park a substantial distance from each unit on East Flower Street. The Planning
Department supports the proposed circulation system.
5. Design Review.
On August 7, 1980 the Design Review Committee conditionally approved the design and
arcbitecture of the proposed project, subject to several conditions which deal with
refinement of details on retaining walls, landscaping, pedestrian walks, and textured
paving. The architecture is of contemporary design consisting of a stucco exterior, wood
trim and shake shingle roofs; it was approved subject to the provision of offsets on a
portion of the building facing the auto court areas.
E. ANALYSIS
1. The proposed project meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of the code regarding
storage, parking and open space, and has been conditionally approved by the Design Review
Committee. The treatment of the entries into the project and the proposed signs
denoting "private street" will clearly identify the street system as private.

2. The Planning Commission's resolution includes a condition of approval requlrlng
the applicant to offer 3% of his units for sale or rent at rates affordable by families
earning no more than the median family income in San Diego County as determined by the
Federal Government. Such units may be provided on-site, off-site, or in lieu of such
provisions, fees equivalent to 3% of the market value of the project must be paid into
a fund earmarked for the provision of low and moderate income housing. This is consis-
tent with my recommendation to Council at the August 14, 1980 Council Conference on
inclusionary housing.
