future zone change to PC (Planned Community) for 1265 acres
of land located east of the San Diego Freeway and south of
San Juan Creek Road and to provide a framework for the
development of the northern portion of the property into
approximately 1200 homes; in addition, an approximate 5 -acre
neighborhood convenience center would be created; the southern
portion of the property, including all protected ridgelines
within the property, would be preserved as natural open
space; (2) a change in the Circulation Element to eliminate
the through connection of Camino La Ronda to Camino Las
Ramblas; and, (3) changes in map designations in the Open
Space and Conservation Element, as well as other General

of the General Plan Amendment be approved, and forwarding
the Planning Commission recommendation of February 24,
1981, that Alternate E be approved with the conditions
that all unit counts be considered as maximums without
potential for density transfers, that there be no
obligation to transfer numbers of units if Areas E and

and that the dwelling units for Areas E and F be reduced
by one-half, thereby reducing the overall unit count to
a maximum of 950 dwelling units for the entire property.

(2) James Atkins, 31926 Avenida Evita, member of the Planning
Commission, expressed the Commission's concerns with
regard to densities and grading required, density
transfers, unit reduction, and traffic impacts.
The following persons responded in opposition to the proposal:
(1) Robert Bosanko, 27621 Via Larga, objected to the commer-
cial convenience center due to traffic and safety
concerns and cited the zone change from residential to
commercial for the Ortega Properties development.
(2) Dianne Littler, 28122 Camino La Ronda, cited views from
the freeway, lack of geological studies and possible
slope failures, removal of livestock, and water runoff
from the development.
(3) Bob Ferguson, 28272 Via Rueda, cited concerns with the
convenience center, traffic patterns, the proposed size
of the commercial area, the proximity of Ortega Proper-
ties, and continuance of a rural atmosphere.
There being no further response, the Public Hearing was
closed with the right to re -open at any time.
The Director of Community Planning and Development advised
that if the convenience center were not implemented, it
would not be inconsistent with the General Plan and that
residential development of the 5 -acre parcel would be of a
density equal to the adjacent property. Councilman Friess
noted that the Ortega Properties development was zoned as
residential at the time the Glendale Federal convenience
center designation was applied.
With regard to Area "H" which lies beyond the existing
terminus of Camino La Ronda, Councilman Friess requested
that a Council statement of philosophy apply that in the
development process, serious consideration and direction be
given that Area "H" be developed in an equestrian concept
since the Area will provide both easterly and westerly trail
access.
Public Hearing Re -opened:
Mayor Hausdorfer re -opened the Public Hearing, and Ralph
Martin stated that there are no specific development plans
for the neighborhood commercial center and that it could be
set aside. The Hearing was then closed.

Impact Report and EIR Supplement, together with the
March 17th staff report and Exhibits, effectively
address the environmental impacts of General Plan
Amendment Alternates D and E, as well as previous

plement are re -certified as complete, subject to in-
corporation of the staff report and Exhibits into the
Environmental Impact Report;
(2) The following Resolution is adopted approving GPA
Alternate E with the inclusion of a subsection stating
that Area H shall encourage an equestrian lifestyle

deletion due to litter problems.

that access will be provided at the rear of the site.
The developer will remove the street, redesign the
slopes of the four lots to reduce the slopes and soften
the impact of grading, and install a wall with brick
capping. With regard to the architectural elevations,
Mr. Kruer stated that they are northern European country
style and that conceptual approval is requested.
(4) Jim Atkins, representing the Planning Commission,
advised that the Commission recommended the designs be
modified to avoid conflict with the Los Corrales develop-
ment and that the pedestrian access be retained to
provide a route for children and as a means of avoiding
a feeling of "separate community" between developments.
