SUMMARY
The Otay Water District (District) is dedicated to increasing its delivery of recycled water for
irrigation to customers within its jurisdictional area. The Wueste Road pipeline, when built, will
provide a link for the delivery of recycled water to the District's customers in Otay Mesa. A
portion of the alignment of this pipeline crosses land owned by the City of Chula Vista. In order
to complete construction of this project the District needs to acquire a permanent Easement and a
Temporary Construction Easement from the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed activity
consisting of accepting an offer from the Otay Water District to Purchase Easements across City
owned land for water pipelines is covered by the general rule in that there is no possibility that
the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section
15061(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
The Otay Water District (District) is dedicated to increasing its delivery of recycled water for
irrigation to customers within its jurisdictional area. The Wueste Road pipeline, when built, will
provide a link for the delivery of recycled water to the District's customers in Otay Mesa.
Developers of properties within Otay Mesa have installed recycled water piping for irrigation but
recycled water is currently not available for their use. The Wueste Road pipeline will connect to
an existing recycled water pipeline in Olympic Parkway in Chula Vista and extend south along
Wueste Road to an area just south of the City of San Diego Water Treatment Plant. At its
southern end, the new pipeline will connect to the District's existing 30-inch recycled water
pipeline which is currently supplied with potable water until recycled water is available. The
construction of the Wueste Road pipeline is a critical project for the District to provide recycled
water to this area.
A portion of the alignment of this pipeline crosses land owned by the City of Chula Vista. In
order to complete construction of this project the District needs to acquire a permanent Easement
and a Temporary Construction Easement from the City. The permanent easement consists of
0.61 acres and the temporary construction easement is another 2.488 acres and can only be used
for one year. Attached to this report is a vicinity map showing the location of the project area as
well as a plat showing the actual permanent and temporary easements.
These easements lie entirely within the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) land
and are adjacent to the University site. The respective agencies responsible for monitoring the
MSCP have been advised of this conveyance and have agreed that it will not affect the City's
status as it relates to the MSCP. Additionally, the Agreement being considered by this action
requires the District to indemnify the City against any adverse action resulting from their project.
The District has offered the City $37,750 for the permanent easement and $29,100 for the
temporary easement. Staff has reviewed the appraisal and believes that it is representative of the
value of the rights to be acquired by this action. Staff believes that the sale of the proposed
easement area is equitable, in the best interest of the regional water needs and will provide a one-
time revenue source for the City.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property that is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The sale of the easement to the Otay Water District will result in a positive impact to the General
Fund. The unanticipated one-time revenues of $66,850 are proposed to be appropriated to the
Bonita Canyon Erosion and Drainage Capital Project - DR 189. The funds are needed for
required environmental mitigation/permitting that needs to be performed prior to the solicitation
of construction bids. This will leave an estimated total project-funding gap of $900,000. A
report for Council approval and appropriation of the funds will be forwarded to Council in late
February 2012. Funding for the remaining construction costs is proposed to be addressed during
the FY 2012-13 budget process. The use of one-time revenues for one-time expenditures is
consistent with the City Council adopted Reserve Policy.
