[ 7 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: May 22, 197 3 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Accepting Report on Sweetwater Regional Park Environmental Impact Statement INITIATED BY: Director of Parks and Recreation BACKGROUND Attached is a copy of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Sweetwater Regional Park, which was submitted to the County Environ- mental Development Agency and has been approved by that agency. This procedure is proper according to Douglas Reid, Environmental Review Coordinator for the City of Chula Vista, who has stated that under the State Guidelines, the concept of a Lead Agency sets forth the principle that if more than one agency is participating in a project, only the Lead Agency needs to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. However, the County Public Works Agency states in the cover letter that "since the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego have worked closely with all interested citizens, private groups, and other governmental bodies on the creation of this parks' orig- inal Development Plan Study and the subsequent Master Plan Study, it is requested that the City of Chula Vista review this statement and determine whether you concur with its contents." In conclusion, the Parks and Recreation Department has reviewed the Development Plan and Master Plan Study, and is encouraged by the progress being made toward the creation of this Regional Park which will have a major impact on the citizens of Chula Vista through the preservation of this open space for recreation use.
