Document Description
The Nakano Project (project) is proposed on a 23.77-acre parcel (assessor parcel number [APN] 624-071-0200). The project is the proposed development of up to 221 dwelling units consisting of detached condominiums, duplexes, and townhome dwelling units. While the site plan identifies a total of 215 units, consisting of 61 detached condominiums, 84 duplexes, and 70 townhome dwelling units, the environmental analysis assumes up to 221 units to account for potential changes in the unit mix.
The environmental impact report (EIR) analyzed three development scenarios: (1) No Annexation Scenario; (2) Annexation Scenario 2a: Site Development in San Diego after Annexation, and (3) Annexation Scenario 2b: Site Development in Chula Vista followed by Annexation. While the proposed development design and density would be the same under each scenario, the process to implement the proposed zoning and development standards would differ under each scenario. Upon project approval, Scenario 2a (annexation by the City of San Diego) was selected for adoption. In this scenario, the City of San Diego would adopt a prezoning ordinance to allow for the project site to be zoned Residential Multiple Unit 1-1 (RM-1-1), which would permit a maximum density of one dwelling unit for each 3,000 square feet of lot area. The site would be designated Residential-Low Medium in the OMCP and San Diego General Plan.
Additional proposed improvements include private on-site parks and pocket parks; public, homeowner association (HOA)-maintained trails to connect to the Otay Valley Regional Park public trails; private open space, buffered Class II bike lanes; 656 on-site parking spaces for residents and guests; native, drought-tolerant landscaping; brush management zones for fire prevention; walls and fencing; and stormdrain, water, and wastewater infrastructure.
Access to and from the project site would be provided via Dennery Road, a City of San Diego 4-Lane Collector located southeast of the project site. Primary site access from Dennery Road would be provided through an off-site parcel located within the City of San Diego. Primary access via Private Street A would include a full curb and gutter and a new 25-foot-wide driveway approximately 40 feet southwest of the existing driveway. An access easement through the off-site primary access road would be granted in favor of all parcels within the project site. Internal circulation would consist of a series of private streets (A through I). Private Street A would be the main project access providing access to the site via Dennery Road. All internal private streets are referred to as private streets in the City of Chula Vista and private drives in the City of San Diego.
Roadway improvements would be made to Dennery Road at the project driveway, at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Dennery Road, and at the intersection of Dennery Road, Red Coral Lane, and Red Fin Lane. Fair share contributions would also be made to the planned City/California Department of Transportation I-805/Palm Avenue bridge widening project, which proposes to expand the Palm Avenue bridge to accommodate five lanes between the I-805 southbound and northbound ramps.
