RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING AB 2610 WHICH WOULD COMPLETELY NULLIFY
ACCEPTED CONCEPTS OF ZONING AND SERIOUSLY ERODE THE
POWER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONTROL LAND USE
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, AB 2610 has been introduced requiring a City,
whenever the fair market value of real property is decreased due
to a rezoning, to pay the property owner the amount of the decrease
if the owner files a claim, and
WHEREAS, said Assembly Bill would in effect broadly expand
the concept of eminent domain and require municipalities to make
payment for property that is left in private use, and
WHEREAS, said Bill would further severely restrict the power
of the municipality to properly control land use and destroy the
planning process since it would inevitably lead to the planning and
zoning of land into the most restrictive zone on a wholesale basis,
and would end in stability in land use control through the adoption
of intelligent General Plans which would attempt to accurately and
honestly project the growth of the City, and
WHEREAS, AB 2610 is a totally one-sided Bill in that it
grants compensation to property owners for so-called "down-zoning",
but does not reciprocate to grant to the City monies for incor-
porating property into higher classifications which increases the
property value, and
WHEREAS, zoning commentators have for many years debated
the wisdom of "buying and selling" zoning, but always on the assump-
tion that if it were to be done, there would be total reciprocity
which is not included in AB 2610.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista for the reasons stated hereinabove does
hereby urge the Legislature to reject AB 2610.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward
a certified copy of this resolution to Senator James Mills, Assembly-
man Wadie P. Deddeh and all other members of the San Diego County
Legislative Delegation.
