The SPA amendment includes a conceptual park layout listing the proposed park program; and WHEREAS, The Master Developer, Baldwin & Sons, granted and the City accepted a public access easement over all of Lot 15 (P-1 Park) for park use and other public uses on the Final “A” Map 15350 for Otay Village Two and Portions of Village Four, recorded on November 21, 2014; and

WHEREAS, the name 'Eden Rose Plaza’ was suggested by Baldwin & Sons and selected to honor the memory of Deeann Baldwin; and

To bridge this gap and preserve the features of the park in the current design, the Master Developer proposes using up to approximately $1,200,000 of the in- lieu PAD fees required to be paid for their C1/MU3 project, located within Village Two, due to the extra units created using density bonus on the C1/MU3 project; and WHEREAS the Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has determined that the Project was adequately covered in previously certified Final Second Tier Environmental Impact Report, EIR 02-02 and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, SEIR 12-01 for the Otay Ranch Village Two SPA Plan. Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, that it hereby approves the Master Plan for the 1.41-acre P-1 Park in Village Two and the name of the park “Eden Rose Plaza.”
