Consent Calendar items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Before the vote, there is no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the City Council or staff removes the item from the Consent Calendar.

Public Hearings are held on matters specifically required by law.

Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally require a public hearing.

Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others as specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held only in very limited circumstances as authorized by law.

5.2

Otay Ranch Village Eight East: Adopt Ordinances Amending the Otay Ranch Village Eight East Planned Community District Regulations and Approving a Zoning Change

Chris Le

I urge the council to vote no on this item as written. The changes eliminate more than 8 acres of community park space. While the applicant proposes adding manufactured open space, this does not compensate for park space that families are more likely to use. The open space is located in a place that is convenient for the applicant and not in the best interest of future residents. This amendment reduces the number of detached homes, which are already difficult to find in this part of Chula Vista. Applicant proposes an elementary school site that would be utilized as a "high" residential land use if Chula Vista Elementary School District declines the space. CVESD has been delaying the addition of new schools citing a decreasing school-age population. This increases the likelihood that this site will be used for homes. The City should not allow more "high" residential land use and instead, designate it as a less dense residential area. While a traffic study was conducted for this project, it is my opinion that it did not give proper consideration to the additional density that is now being proposed. The study claims that impacts on Olympic Parkway, particularly during peak times near I-805, are unavoidable. However, some mitigation can be provided by requiring the applicant to expedite the extension of E. Main St from Village 8 West to Village 4, which would give residents in Village 8 East an alternative to Olympic Pkwy. Finally, the noise mitigation proposals are insufficient.

Report Number: 24-0101

Location: Generally, south of the eastern extension of Main Street, east of Otay Ranch Village Eight West, west of State Route 125, and north of the Otay River Valley (APN: 644-070-21) (“Project Site”)

• RECOMMENDED ACTION:

  Adopt ordinances A) Approving modifications to the Otay Ranch Village Eight East Planned Community District Regulations in accordance with the required findings and subject to the conditions contained therein (Second Reading and Adoption); and B) Approving a change in zoning from single-family residential to multi-family residential (Second Reading and Adoption)
