A. BACKGROUI�D
Pursuant to City Council instructions, staff prepared a report, dated July 29, 1975,
entitled "Parks and Recreation General Plan and Ordinances No. 1491 and PJo. 1G42: Revie:a
and Recormnendations . " The report �aas considered and accepted by the City Co;:ncil on
August 5, 1975. At that time Council directed staff to meet with develoaer•s act.ive in
the area. Notices of a meeiing held on September 26, 1975 were mailed to 20 developers ,
engineers and planning firms. Only two persons attended the meeting.
B. ANALYSIS
1 . Under the proposed amendment to �4unicipal Code Section 3.32.040 - Residential
Construction Tax - the taxes are increased by 25%. This increase would counteract the
past's inflationary impact upon Section 3.32.Q40. See Attachment "A".
2. Th� proposed new Chapter 17 . 10, relating to Park Land Dedication and In Lieu Fees,
, and containing Sections 17 .10.010 through 17.10.130, would repeal Ordinance I�o. 1366
S�c*ien II, Ordinance P;o. ?4°2, and Sections 17.0°.440 t�rougF 17.08.�;90 0` the Chula

� be deleted in favor of an amount based upon the actual value of the land which �•�ould
othen•+ise be dedicated, �plus the cost of those park' impr.ovements required to be
installed. See Attachment "B".
3. The results of the Planning Department's survey of the residential construction
taxes and park dedication fees of the County of San Diego and its several cities are
embodied and tabulated in attachments "C" and "D". This survey indicates that the City
of Chula Vista' s proposed residential-construction tax would be lower than similar taxes
in Del Mar, but higher than that of other jurisdictions. Escondido charges both a
"development fee" (construction tax that applies to commercial and industrial uses in
addition to residential uses) and a "Park and Recreation Fee" which together are higher
than fees charged by any other jurisdiction in the County.
4. ldith respect to park dedication and in lieu fees , the cities of Carlsbad,
Del t�tar, Escondido, Oceanside, and Vista , and the County of San Diego have requirements
which exceed those in the existing and proposed regulations of Chula Vista. Six cities
do not require park land dedications or impose in lieu fees.
5. The Planning Department feels that the comparatively high taxes, fees, and
dedication requirements of the City of Chula Vista are predicated upon this municipality's
corrnnitment to the provision of adequate parks; the preservation of environmental quality;
, and, the promotion of sound urban planning.
