The subject property consists of 108 acres as noted in the Planned Unit Development Report. 2. The previous tentative subdivision, known as Deerpark East, was approved in 1973 for 291 single family lots and one common lot. 3. It was determined by the Environmental Review Co~=~niteee in 1973 that the original E.I.R. prepared for Brandywine Units 3 and 4 was sufficient and that it would not be necessary to prepare a new E.I.R. The revised subdivision has been reviewed by the Environmental Review Coordinator, who has determined that the new plans are essentially the same as those previously reviewed. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a motion recommending that the City Council approve PCS-76-2 for the subdividing of 108 acres into 291 single family lots and one commercial lot in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section F of this report. C. ANALYSIS The project location, surrounding land uses, zoning and the features of the plan have been discussed in the Planned Unit Development staff report and will nit be repeated in this report. The fol]owing comments pertain to the tentative map. 1. Circulation. Sequoia avenue is shown to be stubbed to the east. This connection was intended to provide access to the proposed County Boys Rehabilitation Center. The construction of that project is uncertain; however, the extension of Sequoia to the east property line is still viewed as necessary for future access to the area. The primary circulation system in Robinhood Point will be public streets with private streets used for the individual cluster areas. 2. School Facilities. As pointed out in the P.U.D. report, the developer still has a binding agreement with both the Sweetwater and the Chula Vista Elementary School Districts. 3. Park Land in-lieu fees. The developer will be required to pay residential construction tax fees since the City already owns an adjacent park site. (See comments in P.U.D. report.) 4. Street names. The city code stipulates that the Planning Commission will recommend street names to the City Council. Street names can be a very personal item and very time consuming to the staff; therefore, city policy has been for the developer to submit iris sungested list, which is then reviewed by the staff for possible conflict with existing street names in the city or in our planning area. City Planning Commission Agenda Items for Meeting of April 12, 1976 page 16 The developer has submitted the following list of street names for your consideration. (Note: The drives are public streets whereas the courts are private.) .

D. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - FINDINGS REQUIRED Section fi6473.5 of the Government Code provides that: "No local agency shall approve a map unless the legislative body shall find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, zs consistent urith the General Ptan or ara,~ specific plan. "A proposed subdivision shall be cons is tent Lrith a General Plan or specific plan only if the ZocaZ agency has officially adopted such a plan, and the proposed subdivision or Zand use is compatible with the objectives, policies, general Zand uses and programs specified in such a plan.' Based on the requirement that the subdivision design must be consistent and compatible with the General Pian elements, the staff offers the following for the Commission's consideration: f City Planning Commission Agenda Items fore Meet;ng of April 12, 1976 page 17 1. Land Use Element - Compatible. The proposed project will be developed at a density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre. The General Plan designation is 4-12 for this area. 2. Circulation Element - Consistent. The proposed project will complete the east side of Brandywine Avenue which functions as one of the major north-south collector streets in this area. 3. Housing Element - Consistent. The project will provide additional housing in a wide range of square footages in an attempt to reach a wider spectrum of income levels. The single family detached dwelling in this area will offer residents a wider choice in housing not available now since the adjoining area is completely developed with attached townhouse units. 4. Conservation, Open Space, and Parks & Recreation Elements - Compatible. Fees paid by this developer will allow the City to develop park land now owned in the immediate vicinity. In addition, the clustering concept proposed creates numerous common open areas which will be landscaped and maintained by the Home Owners Association. 5. Seismic Safety Element - Consistent. The westerly portion of this site is bisected by the Nacion Fault. However, development has been excluded from the fault zone area in accordance with information included in the Environmental Impact Report. 6. Safet,~ Element - Consistent. The proposed project will extend the public improvements and provide fire. hydrants in confo~~[nance with City standards. 7. Noise Element - Consistent. The proposed project will not result in the generation of substantial noise pollution. The noise generated by traffic on Brandywine Avenue will be mitigated by the construction of a 5 foot block wall at the top of the slope adjacent to Brandywine Avenue and the creation of sufficient elevation and horizontal distance between Brandywine Avenue and the adjoining residential lots. 8. Bicycle Routes Element - Compatible. The proposed project is not required to provide a bicycle route nor will it interfere in the continuity of any proposed route. 9. Public Building Element - Compatible. The proposed project will not result in the relocation of any existing or proposed public facilities. The project boundaries coincide with the existing elementary school site located adjacent to the southwest corner. E. CONCLUSION The tentative subdivision map is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan. F. CONDITIONS OF.APPROVAL 1.
