JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
APPROVING THE EXEMPTION/WAIVER OF THE SEWER
CAPACITY CHARGE RELATED TO THE VETERANS HOME
PROJECT AT THE HOSPITAL SCHOOL SITE LOCATION
WHEREAS, the need for a Veterans Home in Southern California is well established,
with over two-thirds (2/3) of the state's veterans residing in Southern California; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has created the Governor's Commission on the
Southern California Veterans Home to advise the Governor and the Legislature on the
placement of such a Home; and,
WHEREAS, it is contemplated that, wherever the Veterans home is located, it will
provide shelter and services to 400 veterans and create approximately 300 new local jobs;
and,
WHEREAS, a substantial portion of the Veterans who will reside at the site earn low
or moderate incomes; and,
WHEREAS, the City/Agency believes that the social and economic benefits of
developing the Veterans Home in Chula Vista would be very significant; and,
WHEREAS, the City/Agency staff has negotiated terms for acquisition of the Hospital
School Site with the Sweetwater Union High School District.
WHEREAS, the City/Agency has conceptually approved the donation of land for the
building of a Veterans Home facility at the Hospital School Site property which consists of
30.06 gross acres of undeveloped land located on the east side of Medical Center Drive,
between East Naples court and Medical Center Court in the City of Chula Vista; provided that
the site is selected for development by the State of California, and recognizing the nature of
the facility warrants relief from certain development fees;and
WHEREAS, by using the standard formula for determining the sewer capacity fee
would result in an approximate fee of $307,000 for this facility.
WHEREAS, The City has requested that State pay this fee in order to defray the sewer
infrastructure cost to the City.
WHEREAS, The State has not agreed to pay such amount due to lack of funding has
requested that the City pay this amount in connection with the development of the project.
WHEREAS, The City is limited by State law to impose a sewer capacity fee on project
" of no greater than $58,000 unless the State agrees to pay.
WHEREAS, The City after a public hearing has found and determined that the

imposition of a sewer capacity fee on the project will pose undo hardship on project because
no funding is available to cover this cost.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby find, order, determine and, resolve:
1 ) The City/Agency makes the finding that the proposed Veterans Home project
will not be an economic detriment to the community. The exemption/waives of the sewer
capacity fees will be offset by the long term economic benefits of project.
2) The City/Agency hereby exempts/waives all sewer capacity fees related to the
Veterans Home project.
