SUMMARY
The applicant, the Otay Land Company, filed an application for the Village 9 SPA (PCM-09-19) and Tentative Map (PCS-09-05) in July 2009. The Village 9 SPA defines the land use character and mix, design criteria, transportation system and public infrastructure requirements for a 323.1-acre site within the Otay Ranch. The Tentative Map implements the SPA Plan by providing for the subdivision of lots and the detailed design of the circulation system and other public improvements consistent with the SPA Plan.

EIR-10-04 is discussed in detail in a companion agenda statement and must be addressed and acted upon prior to City Council consideration of the Village 9 SPA and Tentative Map.
