NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby approve PCM-89-7 for Sunbow LI General Development Plan based on the following findings: THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. Review and analysis of the General Development Plan finds the project to be in conformity with the policies and guidelines established in the General Plan as further discussed in Subsection D of the staff report. 2. A PLANNED COMMUNITY CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC USES OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONE. The applicant has submitted a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan for the 602 acres covered in their General Development Plan which can be acted on within the two year limit. 3. IN THE CASE OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND THAT IT WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH AND PROVIDE COMPATIBLE VARIETY TO THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS AND THAT THE SITES PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES SUCH AS SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS, AND PARKS ARE ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE ANTICIPATED POPULATION AND APPEAR ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. -1- The General Development Plan proposes a residential community, predominantly Low-Medium Density Residential on the periphery, surrounding Medium Density Residential, located in the heart of an activity center which is identified in the General Plan. This is consistent with the guidelines which encourage higher residential densities to locate near commercial uses and employment centers. A Community Recreation center which includes child care and meeting facilities will provide service to a broad community segment. Its proximity to the Medical Center will also complement the activities and needs of the health care industry. 4. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATIONt AND OVERALL DESIGN TO THE PURPOSE INTENDED; THAT THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE. A 46 acre light industrial area is suitably located in the southeastern portion of the site, away from residential dwellings. Besides the potential for its development into a quality industrial and research park, this site has the added flexibility for locating a City, or, combination City/School District Corporation Yard. 5. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER SIMILAR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND OVERALL PLANNING TO THE PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH. Principal non-residential uses proposed in Sunbow are centralized and adequately sized to service this community. The light industrial area to the south is totally separated from all residential areas. In certain cases, such as the Community Recreation facility located in the activity core, this center will provide amenities beyond what is needed to only serve the Sunbow residents. 6. THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON. The Environmental Impact Report analyzes traffic that will be generated by Sunbow as well as existing and proposed projects which will conform to the Chula Vista General Plan and its Circulation Element. -2- The analysis demonstrates how Sunbow will construct or provide funding for streets to carry the anticipated traffic in accordance with the City's threshold criteria. 7. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH PROPOSED LOCATION(S). The amount, type and location of neighborhood commercial development will be adequate to serve the proposed residential uses. A market update study, completed in May, 1989, finds that major shopping needs can be met by other commercial centers in Chula Vista. 8. THE AREAS SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID DEVELOPMENT. The General Development Plan for this site complements the incremental expansion of the city from the west to the east. New single family homes planned for the west portion of Sunbow are placed adjacent to existing single family residential neighborhoods. In this way, there will be compatibility, and continuity of residential character. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Sunbow II General ~gelopment Plan is subject to the following conditions: 1. That the Community Recreation facility and other park improvement issues be resolved to the satisfaction of the Director of Parks and Recreation. 2. Sunbow II shall designate a minimum of 2 candidate church sites totaling 5 acres. 3. A minimum of 10 percent of the total dwelling units permitted shall be reserved for low and moderate income housing to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning. 4. A fire station facility shall be provided by the Developer, subject to the terms and conditions established in the SPA plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan. 5. A Master Development Plan Concept be prepared for the Poggi Canyon Scenic Corridor portion within Sunbow, as part of the SPA plan. -3- 6. All grading shall comply with Chapter 15.04 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. However, additional design conditions may be added for City review. 7. All street designs shall conform to the City of Chula Vista Streets Design Standards Policy. 8. All trees within the streetscape shall be of a type, or types, acceptable to the City Landscape Architect and City Street Tree Supervisor. 9. The dwelling unit total of 1946 units shown in the General Development Plan is approved in principle. The ultimate total, resulting from more specific SPA planning and site analysis, may require a reduction of this number. 10. Prior to the issuance of occupancy permits for any project development phase, and building permits for any subsequent phase, all proposed subdivision improvements, such as streets, sidewalks, water and sewer lines, which are the expressed responsibility of the developer, shall be satisfactorily completed, or such completion shall be assured pursuant to a duly adopted Public Facilities Financing Plan. 11. The development of the project shall follow the Mitigation Monitoring Program for EIR-88-1, Sunbow II. Any phased construction of the public facilities listed therein shall be implemented, or assured, prior to the City's issuance of occupancy permits for any development phase. 12. The developer shall pay his fair share of any costs related to a city-sponsored Growth Management Program, pursuant to local ordinances. 13. The project proponent shall enter into a three party agreement with the Environmental Review Coordinator to retain the services of a Mitigation Compliance Coordinator to fully implement the Mitigation Monitoring Program. 14. Provide the improvements identified in and in conformance with the recommendations of the City Traffic Engineer, as listed in the Sunbow II Development Transportation Improvement Program Traffic Study (Exhibit B), dated October 17, 1989. Subsequent approvals, for example, the finance plan, will specify the following: a. Fair share allocation of cost of the required improvement. -4- b.
