RENT LEVELS THEY CAN AFFORD, DECLARING THE NEED FOR A
HOUSING AUTHORITY TO FUNCTION, DETERMINING THE POWERS
AND DUTIES OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND DECLARING THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY TO BE THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE

WHEREAS, the Community Development Department of the City of Chula Vista
has analyzed Federal Government Census data information, conducted surveys of the
housing stock within the City of Chula Vista, and reviewed other available
information and date relating to the housing stock and living conditions within
the City of Chula Vista; and,
WHEREAS, an analysis of this data and information indicates that there are
in excess of 5,000 families requiring housing assistance because they are paying
more than 25 percent of their income for rent, or occupying housing more than 30
years old or living in overcrowded conditions or occupying housing units lacking
some or all plumbing and/or heating facilities; and,
WHEREAS, the analysis further indicates that there are in excess of 5,000
housing units in sub-standard condition in the City of Chula Vista, said sub-
standard conditions cause an increase and spread of sub-standard housing
conditions, disease, crime and constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals,
and welfare of the residents of the City of Chula Vista and impair economic
values, and these conditions necessitate excessive and disproportionate
expenditure of public funds for crime prevention, public health and safety, fire
and accident protection, and other public services and facilities; and,
WHEREAS, said sub-standard conditions are due to the high degree of over
crowing in such units, the high percentage of land coverage, the light, air,
space and access available to the habitants of such dwelling accommodations, the
size and arrangement of the rooms within such housing units, the condition of
sanitary facilities within such housing units, and the conditions existing in
such structures which endanger life or property by fire or other causes; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds that it is in
the best interest of the City of Chula Vista to enable a housing authority to
function within the City of Chula Vista.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA does hereby
