The item before Council requests 5-1 Page 2, Item No.: S Meeting Date: 07/09/13 approval of a three-party agreement to hire Mr. Lettieri to continue serving as a project manager and ensure the LOA timelines are met. 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 because it involves only approval of a contract for professional services; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. ~ - RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Back ound In August 2010, the City Council approved an amended University Land Offer Agreement (LOA) with JPB Development. Subsequent to that agreement, SSBT LORE V, LLC acquired the property and identified JPB as its agent to process its entitlements. Under the LOA, SSBT LCRE V, LLC will dedicate land to the City for the future university in consideration of the City's processing of their development applications for the Otay Ranch Villages 3, 8 East and 10 azeas within a 24- month time period. Those development applications involve General Plan (GP) and Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) amendments, Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans, Tentative Maps (TM) and related Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) that reflect land use changes and housing unit increases pursuant to a broad land use plan contained in the LOA. Commencement of the 24-month period is tied to the filing of complete applications for the associated entitlements. Processing of these applications within the 24-month period encompasses a substantial amount of work, and is a complex, interdependent process that requires a high degree of coordination through strong project and process management to ensure success. In April 2008, the City Council approved a similar LOA with Otay Land Company (OLC) regarding their land holdings involving the Village 8 West and 9 azeas of Otay Ranch.. OLC's GP and GDP amendments were approved in February 2013 and its SPA Plans and TMs are expected to be before the City Council in the. Fall. A staff team is fully engaged in processing of those applications in order to achieve this date. 5-2 Page3, Item No.: ~ Meeting Date: 07/09/13 Due to staffing commitments to the OLC effort, the City entered into a three party agreement with JPB (then owner) and Mr. Lettieri to provide dedicated project management and oversight for the application processes. This contract is nearing expiration and SSBT LCRE V, LLC would like to contract with Mr. Lettieri to continue in his capacity as project manager for their entitlement applications. Consultant Services Selection Process In fulfilling the obligations of the JPB LOA, the City would be best served by continuing its relationship with Mr. Lettieri as the project manager for the project. He has worked on the project for the past several years and his continued management is paramount to successfully meeting the prescribed LOA timeframes in order to accept the remaining university property. Mr. Lettieri has worked as a professional planning practitioner in the greater San Diego azea for over 40 years, and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Plamters. He has held planning positions for local cities and the County, run his own planning firm, been a planning consultant, and served as-a Planning Commissioner in the City of San Diego. His credentials and experience are many, having worked on projects ranging from municipal General Plan updates and numerous specific plans both within and outside the San Diego Region. Mr. Lettieri is also very familiar with Chula Vista and Otay Ranch. He previously worked as manager of the multi-disciplinary, joint City-County Otay Ranch project team during preparation of the original General Development Plan from 1990 through 1993. He also served as the City's- project manager for processing of the Rancho Del Rey SPA I .project during 1985 to 1987. Mr. Lettieri worked as a City employee during 2003 and 2004 providing support in development of the City's General Plan update focusing primarily on land use, land use policy and assisting with facilitation of related public workshops. Most recently, Mr. Lettieri served the City. as Project Manager. in processing the SPA Plan and Tentative Map entitlements for the Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center which were successfully approved in September 2009. Those approvals also included a fairly complex Development Agreement and Parks Agreement. Through this work Mr. Lettieri is uniquely familiar with Chula Vista and the Otay Ranch project in particular, and will bring his extensive experience and expertise to these project planning efforts. His experience and familiarity with Otay Ranch, and this project in particular, allows him to continue his role of project management absent the need for additional time from staff to train and orient him. This ability to continue to move the project forwazd in an efficient and expeditious fashion is. necessary to help ensure that the project will be processed within the timeframes specified in the LOA. Considering this, it is staff s position that the City would be materially better served by waiving the formal consultant selection process. Therefore, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.070.B.3 & 4, staff is recommending that the Council waive the formal bidding process and hire Anthony J. Lettieri, FAICP, to pertbrm the subject work. 5-3 Page 4, Item No.• 5 Meeting Date: 07/09/13 Scope of Work Under the proposed three-party agreement, Mr. Lettieri will continue to function as the Project Manager for processing of the noted SSBT LCRE V, LLC applications involving Otay Ranch Villages 3, 8 East and 10 under the supervision of the Development Services Director: Mr. Lettieri's responsibilities will continue to generally include the following: • As an extension of staff, process under City procedures the necessary planning and environmental planning applications for the previously listed entitlements, fore the property known as Otay Ranch Villages 3, 8 East, and 10. • Regularly meet with the Development Services Director and other appropriate city staff to identify issues and develop recommendations related to the Applicant's project. • Review all planning and policy documents that have an impact or are related to the Otay Ranch that set direction for the planning and processing of the Applicant's project, including the General Plan, Otay Ranch General Development Plan, and other development applications. • Manage the work product of all staff assigned to this project to ensure a comprehensive approach to the identification and resolution of issues and the timely processing' of this project.
