[ ~ ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: January 14, 1975 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving preliminary application for Federal "701" Comprehensive Planning Assistance for the Comprehensive Revision and Amendment of the General Plan of the City of Chula Vista INITIATED BY: Director of Planning BACKGROUND 1. The Chula Vista Planning Department proposes the preparation of comprehensive revisions and amendments to the General Plan during fiscal year 1975-76. These revisions and amendments will entail the preparation of economic, environmental, and other basic studies. This project also calls for the preparation of new Land Use and Circulation General Plan Elements, and the synthesis of a community design element, which would be oriented towards the unified guidance of the improvement of the order, amenity, and aesthetic quality of the Planning Area and its three dimensional, manmade environment. 2. The project in question also calls for the unification of the General Plan's several components and elements into a succinct document, and its republication for public distribution. 3. The Department also proposes that the project include the preparation of "community plans" for each of the identifiable communities within the Chula Vista Planning Area. Community plans are actually general plans which have been texturally restated in greater detail and at larger scale. While community plans do not possess a legal status, which differs from that of the general plan, they play an important role in the planning process. 4. The proposed project will probably constitute the most intensive city and regional planning project undertaken by this municipality and will require the fulltime employment of most of the Advance Planning staff for completion. The project will also require the expenditure of about $29,000 for consulting services for background studies and publication costs. The Department estimates that the total project cost would be approximately $145,000. ATTACHED: Resolution [X] Financial Statement: Commission-Board Recommendation: Ordinance [ ] Agreement [ ] Plat [ ] See EXHIBITS [X] No. 1_2_.3 Department Head Recommendation: Adopt resolution approving preliminary application and its submittal to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. City Manager Recommendation: Recommend approval, This intent is to cover the City share of costs as an in-kind expense. This means that we will merely direct the effort of existing staff to this endeavor rather than hire additional staff. Council should be fully aware that our ability to do other long-range type studies will be limited while we work on this project, if Council so directs. ~s~.z AGENDA ITEM N0. ~ Supplemental Page No. 2 5. Federal assistance for comprehensive planning is available under the "701" program of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. If the City of Chula Vista were successful in its application for a "701" grant, the Department of Housing and Urban Development would defray two-thirds of the cost of the project, or about $96,570. Furthermore, Chula Vista, through its Title I Block Grant application, might procure the remaining one-third of the cost of the project from HUD. 6. Preliminary applications for "701" grants must be filed with HUD on or before January 17, 1975. ANALYSIS 1. While many municipalities have applied for "701" grants HUD's limited funding capacity with respect to comprehensive planning assistance has required this agency to develop project review criteria as a guide for the determination of priorities for funding. Each preliminary application will be scored and ranked. 2. The Planning and Community Redevelopment Departments feel that Chula Vista's application will receive a relatively high score because of the strong coordination and correlation between the city's "701" project and its Block Grant program. This coordination and correlation constitute evidence of Chula Vista's commitment to comprehensive planning and developmental progress. ~~sqa EK~~~9T i Proposal for FY ' 75 "70)_" I'un<li.nq U.S. D~,partment of (lousing and' Urban Development Region IX i.

The proposed project's completion vrould better enable Chula Vista to achieve its planning goals of orderly local and regional growth, developmental stability, eco logical balance, and economic progress. The project would be consonant arith Chula Vista's nascent Commun- ity Development Program and Housing Assistance Plan, and would provide com- prehensive policy and standards for the effective and efficient use of Title I Block Grant and municipal funds. 2. Need - Describe the basis for your. locality's need for receiving funding under this program. (The City's need for receiving funding will be evaluated on the basis of financial need, peculiar local. circumstances generating unusual needs for funding, such as adverse Federal. impact, a high rate of growth or decline, or other special needs presented by the colmnunity) (value range 0-10) City's Response: The City of Chula Vista, an important gateway to the United States from Mexico, has a 'large Spanish-surname population. This population consists primarily of first and second generation Mexican Americans, and comparatively large families. The people in question have housing and employment needs which require special attention and strong community commitment. Chula Vista is also the home of many military families. The 1970 Census reported that 4.2% of Chula Vista's population, or 3,201 persons, were military personnel. As of October, 1972, 7,209 children of military families were enrolled in Chula Vista schools. The military families of this city tend to be larg2, transient, and low to moderate in income. Approximately 7°~ of the population of Chula Vista is 65 years of age or older. ;~1ost of the elderly live on small, fixed incomes. Their special housing and transportation needs require concerted public and private action. Chula Vista's planning pro.g•ranl will place especial emphasis upon the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly. The Chula Vista Plannin Area i.n common with the rest of the San Diego Region, has an unemployment rate in excess ofi ~0~, and therefore manifests a patent need for industrial ar~d .commercial .growth. -• 3.

It is, furthermore, Chula Vista's policy to coordinate its planning program vdith the County of San Diego, adjacent cities, the San Diego Unified Port District, and the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization, and the several school, fire, and water districts of the Planning Area. Chula Vista's governing body has consistently supported CPO, and by resolution has endorsed its planning programs. A member of the City Council. is currently Chairman of the Board of CPO. The Chula Vista Planning Department provides assistance to this regional body on a continuing basis. 4. Commitment to Low and Moderate Income Housing - Describe the City's commitment, through the planning process, to address the housing needs of iL-s low and moderate income citizens. (Examples: How is the City committed to the expansion of the supply of needed low and Moderate income housing in a non-discriminatory manner? what non-discriminatory plan for the dispersion of Low and moderate income housing throughout the jurisdic~.:,ion has been developed? If a regional distribution plan exists, is the City committed to it, as evidenced by a resolut.i.on oL- support by the local body?)~ (Value rancie 0-10) ' City's Response: The Chula Vista Planning Department recently completed the preparation of this municipal- ity's Housing General Plan Element. This element will, in the near future, be Considered by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The goal of the Housing Element is consistent with the primary objectives of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and expresses Ci~ula Vista's commitment to promote the provision of a decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunity for all individuals and families. Actually, the City Council, Planning Commission, and administrative departments of this city have, on a continuing basis, attempted to implement this goal in their proces- sing, review, and determination of advance, current, and special planning proposals. The City of Chula Vista is currently preparing a Community Development Program. This program, and its Housing Assistance Plan, are oriented to~vards the implementation of the objectives of H/CD-1974, and the development of viable communities. The Community Development Program, like the Housing Element, expressly advocates decent housing, and viable, heter- ogeneous neighborhoods.

(Value range 0-10) City' s Resi~onse The City of Chula Vista adopted an Affirmative Action Program on December 5, 1972. This program and its underlying policy reaffirm this municipality's commitment to the "Equal Opportunity Employment" concept. The compensation of employees within the service of the City of Chula Vista, and the terms, condi- tions, and privileges pertaining thereto are not affected by race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and other non-merit factors. The city has also recruited a number of applicants for employment through the various organ- izations which are dedicated to the promotion of the employment of minority and disadvantaged persons. There are currently two female department heads in the service of Chula Vista. This city has also adopted a bilingual program which is designed to improve municipal service to the Chula Vista Planning Area's many Spanish speaking residents. 6. Citizen Participation - Describe the City's current or proposed mechanism for involving citizens in the activities of the City, including the proposed project (Value. range 0-10) City's Response: Citizen participation in the governmental operation of the City of Chula Vista is encouraged by the City Council and City Administration. Public participa- tion in the city's decision making process is actively promoted and invited through the municipality's continuing effort to keep the general public and 'various civic groups apprised of pending public business and projects. Chula Vista has established several con>rnissions and committees, and has appointed private citizens thereto. Some of these important bodies are the Planning Commission, Human Relations Commission, Environmental Control Commission, Safety Commission, and Ad Hoc Housing Committee. The city is currently forming a citizens advisory committee to assist in the establishment of goals and objectives relating to Chula Vista's application for Federal assistance under the Block Grant program of Title I of the Housing and Corrununity Development Act of 1974. 7. Commitment to Comprehensive Plannin_q - Describe the City's commitment. to the develop?~~cnt of a comprehensive planning approach to the allocation of resources.

Application for "701'~Comprehensive Planning Assistance PROJECT DESCRIPTION I. Need for Pro.~ect EXn,~(T 2 The Director of Planning and his principal associates, for the past several months, have jointly and severally studied and reviewed the Chula Vista Planning Area's city and regional planning programs, and have scrutinized local and regional patterns of land use and circulation. The Planning Department feels that its surveys indicate that the City of Chula Vista and its environs have patent needs which can best initially be addressed through the comprehensive revision and amendment of the local general plan, and the performance of the extensive basic studies upon which the said revision and amendment would be founded. The City of Chula Vista expects the proposed project to address the aforementioned needs, which are enumerated in the following table. Table of Needs A. The establishment of planning goals, objectives, policy, design proposals, and standards which will guide the unified growth, development and conservation of the City of Chula Vista, the Chula Vista Planning Area, and the San Diego County region. B. The provision of decent housing for minority, low and moderate income, military, and elderly families and individuals. C. The promotion of increased •~conomic opportunity through the broadening of the economic base of the Chula Vista Planning Area. D. The establishment of social programs which are oriented towards the improvement of the quality of life of members of local and regional society. (This statement embodies the City of Chula Vista's recognition of the strong ties between the San Diego region and the Tijuana area and the interdependence and comity of the residents of the San Diego region and Baja California.) E. The development of sound and innovative circulatory, transportation, and transit policies which are responsive to the needs of the public, projected patterns of land use, the environment and the national energy problems. F. The improvement of the design and amenity of the Planning Area, and the reemphasis of city beautification. G. The establishment of permanent and long-term "greenbelts" and agricul- tural preserves on the periphery of the urban area. H. The development and conservation of Chula Vista's Bayfront Community. 2. I. The conservation, rehabilitation, and redevelopment of the urban core of Chula Vista, and the declining residential and commercial precincts of the Planning Area. J. The improvement and extension of public buildings, facilities and infrastructure. II. Project Description and Approach A. Summary Comprehensive Revision and Amendment of the General Plan 1. During fiscal 1975, the Planning Department proposes to initiate the preparation of the comprehensive revision and amendment of the General Plan of the Chula Vista Planning Area. The goal of this program is the synthesis of long-range, comprehensive, and general plans and programs for the orderly growth, developmental stability, environrnental protection, and social and economic progress of the City of Chula Vista and environs. 2. The Department proposes to complete the following projects during the 1975-76 General Plan revision program. These projects will require the principals and staff of the Advance Planning Division to devote full time to the undertaking in question. a. Preparation of Basic Planning Studies. The "survey" stage of the General Plan program will entail the preparation of several basic planning studies, which will include, but not be limited to financial, economic-base, demographic, conceptual, social, and transportation studies. b. Preparation of new Land Use and Circulation Elements. The Land Use and Circulation Elements were the original master plans mandated by the Government Code of the State of California, and still constitute the essence of all effective and meaningful urban planning programs. The new elements would be designed to guide the growth, development and conservation of the Planning Area past the year 2000 to the abstract point of "ultimate growth." The existing Land Use element of the General Plan suffers from serious inadequacies. The residential designations span far too broad a range. The designations, such as 4-12 DU/Acre, 13-26 DU/Acre and 27-43 DU/Acre, should be discarded in favor of a system of narrower density range figures. The following additional changes are contemplated: Residential densities would be related to topography. The land use system and circulation system~~would be brought into balance. The plan would contain a timing or phasing element. c. Preparation of a Community Design (General Plan} Element. Community Design, which is often called "civic design," or "urban design," is the technical core of the art of city planning. It was r___ __ J _Jr ,.. /`..~ 3. the original form of city planning, and is generally defined as "the arrangement of space and land use in an orderly and beautiful manner." City planners in the late 20th century have been harried by great social, economic, and physical planning problems to tl~e extent that they have neglected community design. The State Planning and Zoning Law, under Section 65303, and sub- section 65303(8) permits cities and counties to include within their general plans "A community design element consisting of standards and principles governing the subdivision of land, and showing recommended designs for community and neighborhood development and redevelopment, including sites for schools, parks, playgrounds and other uses." The Community Design Element of the Chula Vista General Plan will be synthe- sized in accordance with these statutory provisions, and the Guidelines of the California Council on Intergovernmental Relations. The Community Design Element will concentrate on the three-dimensional development of Chula Vista's emerging neighborhoods and communities, and upon the three-dimensional redevelopment of this municipality's urban core, Bayfront Community, and older areas. d. The Reorganization and Republication of the Chula Vista General Plan. The Chula Vista General Plan's text and plan diagrams are currently published in several separate but related documents. Now that the various elements have been adopted, they need to be synthesized into a single publication with fold out maps. This document will embody the City's planning policy, the new Land Use, Circulation, and Community Design Elements, and the terse restatement of the previously adopted elements. The new form will permit the economic distribution of the complete General Plan to developers, subdividers, students and the general public. e. Preparation of Community Plans for the Chula Vists Plannin Area. Subsequent to the completion of the "Comprehensive Revision and Amendment of the General Plan," the Planning Department proposes to initiate the synthesis of community plans for each of the identifiable communities within the Planning Area. Community plans are actually general plans which have been textually and graphically restated in greater detail, and at larger scale. While community plans do not possess a legal status, which differs from that of the general plan, they play an important role in the planning process. Community plans, due to their detail and scale, provide an effective transition between the general plan and the effectuating plans--the development and redevelopment plans. Comi~~unity plans also tend to increase the public's understanding of the general plan's overall effect upon livability, social institutions, the economy, and real property. Community plans, like co-rnnunity design plans, predated State enabling acts, general plans, and zoning ordinances. While they have been sparingly used in the post-World War II decades, the public's growing demand for active participation in the city and regional planning process has sub- stantially increased the employment of co~~~munity plans during the past five years. ._-- , .~ .) _ , ;-- ~;. 4. B. Methodology The Planning Department of the City of Chula Vista will be charged with the responsibility of coordinating the preparation of the several plans constituent to the project, and tPie performance of the city and regional planning work related thereto. The Department will administer the project and directly work with the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the tenure thereof. The City proposes the employment of consultants for the preparation of economic, social, housing, transportation and other basic studies. The Planning Department will coordinate these studies, and professionally assist the preparators thereof. While draft plans shall be published in-house, final plans shall be printed and published by a private printir;g shop. C. Participating Organizations About 80% of the work required to bring the project to fruition will be assigned to the Planning Department and other departments and agencies of the City of Chula Vista. Recommendations and input from other cities in the South Bay, the Comprehensive Planning Organization, and the County of San Diego will be actively sought. The City of Chula Vista will also coordinate its program of work with the activities of interested State and Federal agencies, and will seek advice from officials, professionals, and technicians. Approximately 20% of the proposed work will be performed by consultants and outside specialists. The work of the consultants and specialists will primarily be confined to the preparation.of background and basic reports and studies. The City of Chula Vista does not propose the hiring of consultants or specialists prior to the approval of its application for a "701," Comprehensive Planning Assistance grant. III. Products and Results of Project The City of Chula Vista anticipates that the proposed project will encourage public participation in local and regional planning programs. It also anticipates that the completion of the project in question will provide the Chula Vista Planning Department extensive social, economic, and environmental information and data, and thereby enable Chula Vista to adopt meaningful and viable policy for the unified guidance of its present and future growth, development and conserva- tion. While the General Plan of 1965 and its subsequent amendments have enabled Chula Vista to grow in an orderly manner, this municipality's identified needs will require an intensified planning effort, and a planning program based upon imagination, intuity, and bold action. Chula Vista expects the proposed project--the Comprehensive Revision and Amend- ment of the General Plan--to provide that basic information and policy which are essential to the meeting of the needs identified under "Need for Project," supra. ~---- ~' -~a ~~- IV. Project Evaluation 5. Since the needs identified in Part I are comprehensive.in nature, and the proposed project is substantially a long-range, comprehensive and general plan, the effectiveness of the project must be eva-lusted on a continuing basis. Notwithstanding this factor, the Planning Department feels that the achievement of the following results would constitute strong evidence that the project is meeting the identified needs of the Chula Vista Planning Area. A. Sustained citizen participation. B. Improvement in the quality of design, land use, and circulation of the Chula Vista Planning Area. C. Improvement in the amenity of the Chula Vista Planning Area. D. Increased interest and activity in the conservation, rehabilitation, and redevelopment of the Urban Core, Bayfront Community, and declining subneighborhoods of the Planning Area. E. Improvement in the housing of low and moderate income families. F. Increased planning cooperation of the political jurisdictions within the South Bay subregion. G. Increased public acceptance of city and regional planning as the foundation of orderly growth, developmental stability, conservations and progress.
