SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista is required to prepaze an Annual Progress Report (Report) on the
implementation of the City's Housing Element. California Government Code Section
65400 requires the report to include the following: (1) progress in meeting the Regional
Housing Need; (2) the effectiveness of the Housing Element in the attainment of the
community's housing goals and objectives; and (3) progress toward mitigating
governmental constraints identified in the Housing Element. This Report provides detailed
information regarding the housing activities of the City of Chula Vista from January 1, 2011
through December 31, 2011.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the
activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the Report.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
No action is required. The Housing Advisory Commission will be provided with a
summary of the Report, at their next meeting.
DISCUSSION

of Chula Vista from January 1, 201 through December 31, 2011. The Report provides a
summary of progress based on the goals and objectives outlined in the 2005-2010
Housing Element. The 2005-2010 Housing Element was adopted by City Council on
October 24, 2006 and accepted by the Department of Housing and Community
Development in January 2007.
Due to legislative changes the Housing Element for the next five yeaz period is not due to
the State until April, 2013. Staff has already initiated the public outreach and update
process. Once the outreach process is conducted, staff will prepare a draft Housing
Element Update. The drafr report will most likely be brought forward to the Housing
Advisory Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council in Fall, 2012.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
