ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARING: PCS-93-03: CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP FOR TELEGRAPH CANYON ESTATES, CHULA VISTA
TRACT 93-03 ~ Baldwin Vista Associates
Senior Planner Manganelli presented the staff report and recommended approval of the
subdivision based on the draft resolution which would recommend to the City Council that they
adopt a draft resolution, readopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the EIR for the project SPA plan and General Development Plan, and
recommending that the City Council approve the street names.
In reply to Commissioner Carson, Mr. Manganelli indicated where the community purpose
facilities would go if not put on the Otay Ranch, and said that a total of 1.5 acres were required.
Referring to the 82 acres, Commission Carson asked how many acres would be used for the 155
houses. Mr. Manganelli answered that the total area of the subdivision was 112 acres, and
concurred that 82 acres would be developed into residential areas, 30 acres would be for open
space and freeway right-of-way. Forty-five percent of the lots were on 50% of the land area.
Commissioner Tarantino asked if a community purpose facility was deferred to the Otay Ranch
area and did not incorporate into the City of Chula Vista, there was a potential that it could be
lost. He asked if the City would ask for any guarantees for credit somewhere else in the City.
Mr. Manganelli answered that a condition of the resolution required that before the applicant
could record their map, that facility would be provided.
Regarding transportation, Commissioner Tarantino asked if the levels of service would
deteriorate at peak hours or other times during the day. Mr. Manganelli did not believe it only
occurred at peak hours; Senior Civil Engineer Ullrich confirmed that it was the average daily
trips and not peak hour.
Commissioner Tarantino questioned whether private park land counted within the threshold of
3 acres per 1,000. Mr. Manganelli answered negatively. Assistant Planning Director Lee noted
that the State Map Act allowed for cities to consider private park areas in contribution; however,
the City of Chula Vista did not include it, and in this case would require the full payment of
fees.
Commissioner Ray noted that a street name was misspelled--should be Notre Dame Way.
Answering Chair pro tem Martin, Senior Planner Manganelli said the Fire Department had no
adverse comments regarding the 90 degree tums.

thanked the Commission and staff, and said he concurred with the report and did not contest any
of the conditions. He was available for questions.
Chair pro tern Martin asked where the community purpose facility would be placed. Mr.
O'Grady said they would like to place it off-site, and intended to fulfill their obligation.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
MS (Carson/Ray) to adopt PCS-93-03 based on the findings contained in the attached draft
City Council resolution and subject to the conditions stated in the resolution recommending
