1. The proposed project will benefit the Redevelopment Project Area, and/or immediate
neighborhood:
The construction of the new Police Headquarters at the commercial property benefits the
adjoining Town Centre II Redevelopment Area by facilitating in the renovation/expansion of the
Civic Center. This benefits the surrounding neighborhood, as well as the community at large by
providing consolidated government services and a Headquarters facility that will allow the Police
Force to serve the Chula Vista Community well into the future. It also benefits the Town Centre
I Redevelopment Area, in which it is located, by retaining and expanding viable uses, including
public facilities, and comprehensive beauti~cation of the area.
2. There are no other reasonable means of financing:
Funding of acquisition and relocation costs by the Redevelopment Agency is permitted
under State redevelopment law, as the site is entirely located within an adopted redevelopment
project area (Town Centre I.) It has been determined that there are, at present, no other
reasonable means to acquire the property located at 362-398 F Street and to pay for the necessary
relocation costs except through eligible Redevelopment Agency funds generated through the
Agency's 2000 Tax Allocation Bond issuance.
3. The proposed project will assist in the elimination of blight.
The construction of the new Police Headquarters will assist in the elimination of blight by
replacing a stagnating commercial property that has in the past had abnormally high vacancies,
and was falling into disrepair. Presently the anchor space and one other trait is vacant. The new
Police Facility will replace the existing substandard, inadequately sized Police Facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council and Redevelopment Agency
of the City of Chula Vista have conducted a public hearing pursuant to Health and Safety Code
Section 33679 of the Community Redevelopment Law respecting use of Redevelopment Agency
funds for the acquisition of land for the installation and construction of a publicly owned facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the City Council and
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista do hereby approve a Resolution:
1. The proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment; however, there
will not be a significant effect as the mitigation measures are implemented within the proposed
Plan. Accordingly, Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-01-017 was prepared in accordance with
CEQA.

Redevelopment Agency and the Chula Vista Center, a California Partnership, for acquisition of
property located at 362-398 "F" Street for the construction of the City Police Headquarters; and

$4,786,210 of the remaining tinpledged proceeds from the Redevelopment Agency's 2000 Tax
Allocation Bond and appropriating said funds to the Police Facility Capital Project for property
