Engineer of Record for planning, design and civil engineering services for the 1,050-acre Master Planned Community. The project is located in the Eastlake III General Development Plan of the City of Chula Vista, California. The projects are located immediately west of the Lower and Upper Otay Lakes.

The Vistas site is located east of Salt Creek between Olympic Parkway and Otay Lakes Road, and will offer development intensities ranging from Low (three du/acre) to High (up to 27+ du/acre) Residential and a park. Commercial Retail (CR) space will be provided across the street from the existing Olympic Training Center. In addition, a 25 acre residential area, possibly to include a church and park, will be located south of Olympic Parkway and west of the Olympic Training Center. Finally, a 19 acre commercial tourist site (CT) will be developed west of the Olympic Training Center.

The Woods portion will be located north of Otay Lakes Road, from the Business Center at the west, to Salt Creek Ranch in the north, and Upper Otay Lake to the east. Development intensities will favor Low to Low-Medium (3-8 du/acre) Residential, and will include two school sites and a fire station.
