TIERRASANTA COMMUNITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NUMBER 01-2005

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE GRANTVILLE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REMOVE FROM THE
GRANTVILLE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA THE PARCEL OF LAND
IDENTIFIED AS APN 4550202500 (THIS BEING THE PARCEL OF LAND AT THE
EASTERN END OF TIERRASANTA BOULEVARD ABUTTING THE SAN DIEGO RIVER)

Ref (a): Grantville Redevelopment Project, Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), Volume 1, dated December 13, 2004
Ref (b): Draft Redevelopment Plan for the Grantville Redevelopment Project, dated November 11, 2003

WHEREAS, as represented in reference (a), for the period from the present day through the
horizon year of 2030 the parcel of land identified as APN 4550202500 would be encumbered by
both the Grantville Redevelopment Project area and the Navajo Community Plan area; and
 

WHEREAS the subject parcel is accurately identified as designated open space in Figure
4.1-1 of reference (a), but whereas this parcel is incorrectly shown as being part of the gravel
extraction process in Figure 4.1-2 of reference (a); and
 

WHEREAS, it is in Tierrasanta’s interests to protect the heritage of Tierrasanta’s historical
sites, particularly where these are located adjacent to the San Diego River on the south side of
said parcel, but whereas these historical treasures, in the form of ancient historical flumes, are
not addressed in reference (a); and
 

WHEREAS, said parcel is identified the San Diego River Park Master Plan dated September
2004, and where such identification effectively makes said parcel ineligible for redevelopment
(contrary to reference (a)); and
 

WHEREAS, the citizens of Tierrasanta have repeatedly requested that the 25-year old
Tierrasanta Community Plan be updated to remove all mention of the Tierrasanta Boulevard
connection to Mission Gorge Road (along with three other road connections between Tierrasanta
and adjacent communities); and
 

WHEREAS, Councilman Madaffer supports the need for a Tierrasanta Community Plan
amendment wherein these road are permanently removed, and whereas he as formalized this
requirement in memo M 02-05-02 which states, in part, “In order to once and for all dispel any
fear or confusion among residents of Tierrasanta with regard to any road extensions, I am
requesting that the Tierrasanta Community Plan be updated immediately and that the following
projects be removed:

;and
 

WHEREAS, the Tierrasanta Community Planning Group (the Tierrasanta Community
Council) was not notified by the Grantville Redevelopment Agency in a timely fashion that said
parcel was being considered for inclusion in the Grantville Redevelopment Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Grantville documents appear to be self-contradicting; for example,
paragraph 4.2.5 of reference (a) states: “Improvements identified within the … Tierrasanta
Community Plan shall be implemented as sufficient financial resources become available
through the establishment of the proposed redevelopment project area”, yet this is contradicted
in Section 110.1 of reference (b), where a goal is stated as being to “Improve the flow of traffic
through the development of circulation network that will provide for less congested access to the
Mission Gorge corridor and Grantville industrial area without adversely affecting surrounding
residential communities …”; and
 

WHEREAS, the subject parcel is the only parcel related to the 4 improvements (roads) that is
included in the Grantville Redevelopment Plan area; and
 

WHEREAS, the Tierrasanta community is relatively isolated from the surrounding
communities, and per section 2.3.3.2 of reference (a), where such relative isolation serves to
enhance the sense of community felt by Tierrasanta residents, and where the commercial areas
within Tierrasanta are limited to those businesses needed to support only the community of
Tierrasanta; NOW, THEREFORE;
 

BE IT RESOLVED that the Tierrasanta Community Council, in the best interests of a
planned residential community like Tierrasanta, has determined that subject parcel (APN
4550202500) should be removed from the Grantville Redevelopment Plan and from any related
plans and documents; and
 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the owner of the subject parcel should be notified by the
Agency that the said parcel has been removed from the Grantville Redevelopment Plan area
using the same manner of notification that was employed to identify to the owner that subject
parcel was selected to be included in the plan; and
 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall be considered as an addendum to
the comment responses to the Draft EIR, reference (a), previously submitted on February 14,
2005 by the Tierrasanta Community Council to the Redevelopment Agency.
This resolution was passed and adopted by the Tierrasanta Community Council during its regular
meeting held on February 16, 2005, by the following vote:

Yeas: 12
Nays: 0
Abstentions: 0
