IS-79-40 DATE: February 7, 1979 A. Background The City Counci~, meeting in regular session on February 3, 1976, adopted the following statement of comprehensive policy pertaining to the acquisition and development of municipal park sites with in lieu fees collected under Section 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code: "Because City-wide and regional parks benefit all areas of the City, funds collected under Section 17.10 of the Municipal Code need not be used solely for the purchase of neighborhood and community parks, but may be used for the acquisition and development of City-wide or regional parks for the benefit of residents of the subdivision from which they are collected." The said statement of policy by Council order, becomes operational when its provisions are included within the text of the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan. The proposed amendment to the Parks and Recreational Element would incorporate the policy adopted on February 3, 1976, and thereby make the said policy operational. The amendment would also create a planning-administrative mechanism--the Park Administration District-- which would facilitate the execution of the Council's policy for the expenditure of Seciton 17.10 funds. B. Project Description The following amendments are p::-cposed: POLICIES ll.a. Lands dedicated and/or fees collected pursuant to Section 17.10 (Parkland Dedication) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code will be used to reduce the amount of public expenditure necessary to provide parks in developing areas. 1;11 \'tJ b. As a general rule, the in lieu park acquisition and development fees collected under the provisions of Section 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code will be aevoted to the acquisition, development, or expansion of park sites which are within the park service districts where the subdivider's project is sited. - 2. c. The City of Chula Vista, notwithstanding the general rule expressed in the above paragraph, may utilize in lieu fees for the acquisition and development of district-wide or urban parks which serve the park and recreation needs of the general public as well as those of the residents of the involved subdivision. d. This policy does not authorize the expenditure of in lieu fees for par~ and recreational facilities which are located outside of the involved subdivision's Park Administration District, as demarcated on this element's "Plan Diagram of Park Administration Districts." e. This policy does not, furthermore, authoiize the use of in lieu fees for the acquisition and development of neighborhood parks outside of the service district within which the new subdivision is located, except where it can be shown that, by virtue of access and distance, an external neighborhood park would better serve the residents of the subdivision than the neighborhood park located within the designated park service district for the said subdivision. f. For the purposes of this element, a district-wide or urban park is defined as a multi-community park which serves the major park and recreational needs of the residents of an entire Park Administration District. In smaller cities, the subject type of park is traditionally called a "city" or "central" park. From the standpoint of recreational operations, a district-wide or urban park is a "mini-regional park," and requires a site of approximately 50 acres or more. C. Compatibility with zoning and plans The proposed amendments are consistent with the intent of the General Plan and associated elements. D. Findings of insic~ificant impact 1. The project is not site specific and will not involve any vegetation or wildlife. 2. Proposed amendments are consistent with the intent of the General Plan and associated elements and are not anticipated to achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term environ- mental goals. 3. No impacts are anticipated to occur, due to project implementation, which could interact to create a cumulative adverse effect on the environment. 4. The project will not cause an increase in vehicle traffic nor will an increase in related emissions or noise resuJt. -Fb 'U 1 1 ..
