ITEM 1: UPDATE ON OTAY RANCH SPA AND PRESERVE OWNER MANAGER
(POM)
Special Projects Manager Jamriska, with the assistance of Senior Planner Rosaler, gave an
update on the Otay Ranch SPA, specifically discussion of Study Area 9 which the Otay Ranch
Team would be recommending that the Commission consider as being within the City of Chula
Vista's sphere of influence.
Referring to a Gantt chart, Mr. Jamriska discussed the timeline for the processing of the various
phases of SPA I; the statistics for Villages 1 and 5, which included single family, multi-family,
community facilities, neighborhood parks, retail, schools, open space, and circulation; and
project comparisons with other subdivisions.
Mr. Jamriska then discussed the timeline and the tentative process leading to the selection of the
Preserve Owner/Manager with the projected approval date of May 23, 1995. He distributed a
hand-out describing the desirable qualifications for the Preserve Owner/Manager.
ITEM 2: UPDATE ON SR-125
Senior Civil Engineer Thomas introduced the subject by providing a brief description of the
growth occurring in eastern Chula Vista, and that the roadway system will be approaching
capacity in the near future. The primary problem was identified as being the uncertainty as to
whether the "toll road" would be constructed in time.
PC Minutes -2- February 15, 1995
Mr. Thomas then described the adopted program consisting of widening five roadway segments
and constructing two new segments to supplement existing capacity. Implementation of the
program would push the capacity problem back from year 2000 to at least 2008, and probably
to 2010 or further. This would give the City more breathing space to work with CalTrans and
SANDAG to get the freeway/toll road constructed.
Following this discussion, Mr. Thomas described briefly the proposed financing of the $28
million facility through developer fees, and anticipated construction phasing, beginning about
1999, to be completed in about 2004.
