DISCUSSION:
In March 1987, Council passed a 90-day moratorium on the processing of General
Plan Amendments east of I-805, excepting Otay Rio Business Park (which has
subsequently received approval by Council). On June 23, 1987, Council
extended that moratorium for 6 months and exempted Otay Rio Business Park,
Eastlake Greens and Rancho Del Sur II. On July 14, 1987, Council reconsidered
and enacted a new moratorium on General Plan Amendments east of I-805 for 9U
days with no exceptions. Staff, however, was authorized to allow pre-planning
work to proceed which primarily involved work by outside parties under City
auspices.
This pre-planning work has proceeded on three projects: Eastlake Greens,
Bonita Meadows and Rancho Del Sur II (Sunbow). Eastlake Greens is proceeding
with their EIR and Public Facility Finance Plan preparations. Bud Gray's
contract, as planning consultant for the project, was recently extended by
Council. Bonita Meadows has filed for annexation and is processing their
EIR. Rancho Del Sur II has a development plan proposal and initiateD their
environmental review process on September 24, 1987.
Staff is also working with other parties in the Eastern Territories as far as
their planning ideas for their properties, such as Unocal, Otay Ranch, the
balance of Eastlake II, and so on. Progress meetings between the major
• developer and P and D Technologies (the City's General Plan Consultant) are
scheduled for October 13-14.
