Utility District herein created is in the general public interest for the following reasons:
1. Bonita Road is a major east/west thoroughfare in the northeastem portion of
Chula Vista and an entrance into the City. Otay Lakes Road, on the other hand, is
a north/south thoroughfare linking the northern part of the City with the new
developments to the eastem and southem portion of the City. The
undergrounding of existing overhead utilities will contribute to the creation of an
aesthetically pleasing major street.
2. The segment of Bonita Road is classified in the General Plan's Circulation
Element as a four-lane major street. Otay Lakes Road is classified as a six-lane
prime arterial street.
3. Undergrounding has been completed on Bonita Road from Willow Street to Otay
Lakes Road from Ridgeback Drive/Canyon Drive to Telegraph Canyon Road,
thus making the proposed district an extension of an undergrounded section.
Undergrounding of the overhead utilities will complete the only remaining portion
of Bonita Road that is not undergrounded. Otay Lakes Road will be completely
undergrounded in fiscal year 2003/2004.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby authorize the use of
approximately $2,730,000 in utility allocation ~mds to cover the cost of pole removal,
undergrounding overhead facilities, and private property conversion reimbursements.
