ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING
SECTION 8 OF ORDINANCE. 3163 IN ORDER TO EXTEND
THE FEE DEFERRAL PROGRAM
WHEREAS, as a response to the economic downturn and in an attempt to promote
development, the City Council, on December 16, 2008, approved a payment plan program for
certain development fees ("Deferral Program"); and
WHEREAS, on April 21, 2009, Council expanded the Deferral Program to include Pazk
fees; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2010, through the approval and adoption of City of Chula
Vista Ordinance 3163, City Council altered the nature of the Deferral Program; and
WHEREAS, the new Deferral Program, rather than requiring developers to pay fees at
permit issuance or enter into an agreement secured by a lien placed on the property to be
developed, allowed for the payment of fees at final inspection; and
WHEREAS, the Deferral Program is due to expire on December 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the current economic climate is little better than it was at the time the
Deferral Program was implemented; and
WHEREAS, the need to promote development in the City still remains; and
WHEREAS, in light of the above, staff is proposing an amendment to Ordinance 3163 in
order to extend the Deferral Program for an additional year, until December 31, 2012; and
WHEREAS, on January 1, 2013, the time for the payment of fees will revert back to their
traditional triggers: building permit issuance or final map approval.
