The General Development Plan wtll not alter the planned and existing use t of adjacent areas. -- With respect to those adjacent areas, conslderable ~. effort has been made to coordinate development of SPA-II with the existing Tetra Nova and Bon~ta development to both the west and north, respectlvely, To the east and to the south exist the Rancho de1 Ray SPA-! :;,' project. . ~:i ~ ATTACHMENT #2 RANCHO DEL REY SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORrtXTY WITH THE RANCHO DEL REY GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE P-C ZONE AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. Rancho del Rey SPA-II plan reflects the land uses, circulation system, open space, and recreational uses, and public facility uses consistent with the Rancho del Rey General Development Plan. The additional public facility use is in keeping with the intent of the plan by providing . necessary ublic facilities that were not anticipated when the Specific !..; Plan was f~st adopted in lgB5. 2. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA. The SPA-II Plan and the Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis contain provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project. The Public Facilities Plan and Financing Analysis responds not only to the improvements required because of SPA-XI, but also the regional facilities needed to serve this project. '~'~ 3. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION, OR ENVXRONMEHTAL QUALITY'w · All of the land uses w~t~tn Rancho del Rey SPA-II have taken into consideration existing land use and topographlcal constraints in order to protect those features and areas from adverse intrusion. The supplemental environmental impact report has revtewed not only the development .,! contained within SPA-II but also the outside impacts to ensure that all impacts generated by this project would be properly mitigated in a manner not detriPental to existing uses. -3- Item THRESHOLD ANALYSIS RANCHO DEL REY SPA-II Special standards adopted by City policy require that the Rancho del Rey SPA-II project be analyzed to determine whether or not approval of this project will have an adverse impact on the thresholds formulated by the City. Review of the project EIR and other supporting documents of SPA-II provides ample evidence that the project is consistent with the thresholds adopted by the City aS shown below. 1. Air Quality No project specific threshold. The project is consistent with the currently adopted Regional Air Quality Maintenance Plan (AQMP), as it is consistent with the E1 Rancho del Ray Specific Plan, which was included in the AQMP growth forecast. The GMOC in its first annual report to the City Council indicated that the Air Pollution Control District reported that Chula Vista is one of the cleanest air quality areas in the San Diego region. 2. Economics No project specific threshold. The fiscal impact report prepared for SPA-IX shows an overall positive fiscal impact on the City of Chula Vista. Basically, cumulative operating revenues are anticipated to exceed cumul.ative operating costs over the perilhi of time analyzed in tbe fiscal impact analysis. The development is projected to result in excess revenues of approximately $32,076 per year after operating costs are considered. The results of the fiscal impact analysis in constant 1988 dollars are provided in Table 3-6, page 79, of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. 3, ~pltce Project Threshold: Emergency response with properly staffed and equipped police units within 5 minutes in 755 and 7 minutes in 90% of the cases (measured annually). The project site is located in an area designated as Beat 28, This beat is patrolled by one 24-hour squad car which is broken into three one-man wetcn.~. Development of the site in accorJence with SPA-II would involve the addittun of 1,463 persons to the beat. The emergency response standards as established in the threshold policy can be initially maintained by the ex~st';ng beat patrol. After build-out of SPA-II, and the addition of personmlel, the threshold standards will also be met. Based on an October B, 1988, communication from the Director of Public Item Safety, William Winters, after the build-out of SPA-II the threshold policy will also be met by the Police Department. The cumulative effect of other developments would eventually require splitting Beat 28 into two beats and employing additional patrol officers and Investlgative Division staff above the staff identified as required by SPA-II. 4~ Fire and Emergency Medical Service Project Threshold: The fire threshold is to respond to 8S% of all .. emergency calls within 7 minutes. Depending on the location of the onstte fire, fire protection response would come from Fire Station No. 2 located on 80 East "J" Street or Fire Station No. 4 located at 861 Otay Lakes Road. There was also a proposed new site at the intersection of Paseo Ranchero and East "H" Street within Rancho del Ray SPA-I. Based on findings in the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, through communications with Marry Chase, the standards as established in the threshold policy are and will continue to be satisfied. S. Schools. No project threshold, The GMOC has adopted a formal statement of concern regarding the provision of school facilities. In their first annual report, they recommended continual cooperation of the City to mandate liello Roos co~wnunlty facilities district .~arttcipatton on the part of major development proposals. Further, they recommended the City cooperate with any additional mitigation measures that might be required. The Rancho del Ray SPA-II ' project iS within a Hello Roos district. Furthermore, Rancho del Ray SPA-I has dedicated a site for an elementary school and Rancho del Ray SPA-III has proposed a site for a JUnior high school. Because there is available capacity and new schools are currently being planned, the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report identified no new mitigation beyond partict ation in the Hello Roos district and the dedication of the site as note2 a ova. b 6. Library No project threshold. Citywide threshold of 500 sq. ft. of adequately equipped and staffed library facilities per 1,000 population, The Rancho del Rey SPA-I Plan pro',ides a 3.2 acre site for a proposed liD?ary facility. The SPA-I and SPA-II cost responsibility, at this point, has not been determined, but is expected to be determined by the a~ntton 3f ~he Supplemental Development Impact Fee applicable to all development east of 1-805. -5- Item2,SA/~ 7. Parks and Recreation Project Threshold: 3 acres of neighborhood and community parkland with appropriate facilities shall be provided per 1,O00 residents east of 1-805. There are 52.2 acres of public parks proposed within both SPAs I and II. This acreage tncludes dedication of a con~nunity park, three neighborhood parks, a staging area for pedestrians and equestrians, and a trail system which links all the major open space and residential areas to the park facilities and n~tural canyon features of the project. Since 1,463 new residents are anticipated by SPA-II, it would generate the need for a 4.4 acre site. There is a 5.4 acre site proposed within SPA-II, thereby complying with the threshold standard. 8. Water Project Threshold:' Project to provide a service availability letter from the Water District. Zn its first annual report, the GMOC adopted a formal "Statement of Concern" on water from the Otay Water District and requested the City Council to adopt a resolution reflecting that concern and forward t t to said district. This project is located within the Otay Water District. The projected daily on-site water requirement is 332,400 gallons per day. Assuming on-sit~ water facilities are constructed in accordance with the specifications required by the Water District, adequate infrastructure wo.ld exist to serve the project.t, is proJect's needs ,s O h well as other major projects wit in hthe Otay Water District has completed a Water Master Plan. They have also approved an allocation system that would evaluate various types of water service requests and create a system for the allocation of water permits over the next several years. Dependent on the cooperation of area developers ~th the District, the necessary storage facilities will be constructed and the District can ensure facilities to serve this project. If this occurs, the Water District can commit to provision of water service to this project and the threshold standards would be complied with. Water service availability letter will be required as a condition of approval of the tentative subdivision map. g. Sewer Project Threshold: Sewage flows and volumes shall not exceed City engineering standards. The se..!er system is adequate as designed. The City has sufficient capacity through its Metro contract to accommodate additional flows. A master plan was compl,ted for Rancho del Rey and it was determined that the sewer ~lnods could b~ accommodated by the system. Item 10. Drainage .... ProJect Threshold: Storm water flows and volumes shall not exceed Ctty engfneertng standards. The proposed project Includes on-s~te drainage to control runoff and eroston, and prevent the degradation of downstream facilities. Thts drafnage system has been engineered and destgned ustng Ctty standards and criteria. Thus, the project can be deemed consistent wtth the dratnage threshold criteria. 11. Traffic ProJect Thresholds: , 1. Ctty~tde: ~Inta1~ level of servtce (LOS) "C" or better at all .: tntersectfons, wtth the exceptlon that LOS "D" may occur at signalized Intersections for a pertod not to exceed a total of t~o , hours per day. 2. ~est of Z-SO5: (not applicable) 3.Ctt~de: No tntersectlon shall operate at level of service "F" as masured fop the ryerage weekday peak hour, ~e average daily trdfic calculated to be generated ~s 33,364, ~lch fs volu~s ~n "Street ~ePe calculated to be ~tth~n the threshold ADT s~nco they ~ould not exceed 56,500 tdps per day.
