# Rancho Santa Fe

Del Mar, California. Santa Fe Railway, developers. Requa & Jackson, architects. 1922

Rancho Santa Fe was developed on the site of a eucalyptus grove the Santa Fe Railway planted for use as railroad ties. The project was an economic failure but an environmental success: when the railroad abandoned its experiment it was left with a plot of land covered by 3 million aromatic trees. Hoping to recoup some of their losses, Santa Fe officials decided in 1922 to divide the land 25 miles north of San Diego into 'gentleman ranchos' for a community to be called Rancho Santa Fe.¹ Forming the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, the railroad hired Requa & Jackson to develop a plan as 'eminently practical as it was realistic'.² The firm of San Diego architects placed Lilian Rice in charge of the project: she moved to Rancho Santa Fe, where she later established her own office.

Rice, designing in the Spanish Colonial style, established a formal city centre in the midst of a loose pattern of curving streets which mirrored the changes of the rolling countryside.³ The heart of the town plan is the Paseo Delicias, a landscaped boulevard terminated at one end by the La Morada guest house, but the overall effect of the development is controlled by the informal Spanish Colonial vocabulary. Rice designed the guest house, and some of the stores and houses along the Paseo. Other houses were built by Wallace Neff, John Lloyd Wright and Sim Bruce Richards.

In the beginning houses had to be in a Spanish style approved by Rice, and were priced by their distance from the town centre – the houses furthest out cost $4000, and those nearer were $8000 to $15000 – but those practices were later dropped.

Although only residents of EastLake Hills and EastLake Shores are entitled to use the EastLake Swim and Tennis Club and the EastLake Shores Beach Club and sailing facilities at the southern end of the lake, (just as EastLake Greens residents have exclusive use of their own private facilities), every resident of EastLake can enjoy walking, jogging, or simply relaxing on the public trail around the beautiful thirteen-acre lake that has become a symbol of the EastLake way of life.

The integrity and quality of EastLake Greens will be assured through the EastLake II Community Association which maintains all common areas. By belonging to the Association, all residents can be confident of their community's lasting beauty, today and in the future.

Some photos were taken at locations other than EastLake in order to demonstrate concepts of future developments.

Information set forth in this brochure may be subject to modification by EastLake Development Company or any governmental agency. EastLake Development Company makes no warranties or representations that the EastLake community will be developed precisely as depicted in this brochure.

An important addition to EastLake and the City of Chula Vista is the United States Olympic Training Center, America's first warm-weather training facility for world class athletes in a variety of sports. It is scheduled to open in the early 1990s on land provided by EastLake Development Company. The location on Lower Otay Lake was chosen after a long review of many potential sites around the country.

In the future, when the facility is not fully used, area youth may have the opportunity to utilize facilities on an organized basis. The Olympic Training Center is expected to attract sports clinics, seminars, training camps and bring international prestige to the community.

What's more, the opportunity to watch and learn from Olympic athletes may inspire a few more champions from the ranks of EastLake and the City of Chula Vista.

Master-planning At Its Best.

T houghtful considera-
tion of comprehensive,
quality surroundings
that will continue to flourish
over time. This is EastLake
Development Company's
definition of the term "Master-
planned." We are serious
practitioners of this art and
science, as evidenced by
the results in the community
you see before you.

We continue to plan
and implement the com-
munity in the same spirit
with EastLake Greens. Its
full complement of neighbor-
hoods and their amenities,
shopping and employment
areas within the residential
community are brought
together with streets, trails
and pathways providing
both function and beauty.
It truly is a place to live,
shop, work and play. It is
a total community.

"We all had the same goal in EastLake—to create harmony and balance among various neighborhoods, family lifestyles, recreation and community facilities."

This isn't just a view from above. It's also a look ahead. Because here you can see where everything fits into the master plan. Eight unique communities ranging from apartments to custom estates. 114 acres of parks, 538 acres of open space. Two schools. A business center. The South Bay YMCA. And more. Surround all that with the established amenities of Chula Vista, and there's one other thing you can see: Your future.
