The City Council shall ensure that the revised General Plan will have a specific element known as the “public services and facilities element.” The purpose of the element is to ensure development shall not occur in the City of Chula Vista that would degrade existing public services and facilities below acceptable standards until all additional necessary public services and facilities required for that development are assured or scheduled for timely completion as determined by the City Council in accordance with but not limited to the following criteria:
A. If the existing major City streets and thoroughfares do not have the capacity to accommodate the proposed development without substantially altering existing traffic patterns or overloading the existing street system, then construction or widening of a major link or links in the major traffic network shall be staged as necessary to ensure the quality of existing traffic flow is maintained.
B. If the existing drainage facilities cannot adequately dispose of the surface runoff of the proposed development, then incremental construction of major and/or minor water course facilities shall be required.
C. If the existing water storage and distribution systems cannot service the needs of the proposed development, then incremental construction of major water system improvements shall be required.
D. If the existing City Parks and Recreation facilities are, according to the established standards, inadequate to serve the proposed development, financing and/or construction of Parks and Recreation facilities shall be required.
