RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING $80,000
FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND APPROPRIATING SAID FUNDS
TO THE FEDERAL GRANTS FUND FOR THE URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The San Diego Office of Homeland Security, who administers the Urban Area Security Initiative
(UASI), has notified the City of additional fiscal year 2014 UASI funding. The Urban Area Security
Initiative addresses the unique planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of
high-threat, high-density urban areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity, Adopting an
Interfund Loan Policy and associated procedures, for compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section
15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because adoption of the Interfund Loan Policy and
associated procedures is a fiscal activity that does not involve a physical change to the environment;
therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are
not subject to CEQA.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
One of the core missions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is to enhance the ability of
state, territory, local, and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and
recover from acts of terrorism and other disasters. As first responders to emergency incidents, the
Police, Fire and Public Works Departments have benefited greatly from several federal homeland
security grants. The fiscal year 2014 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) provides funding for the
continued development of readiness and operational response capacity of Police and Fire first
responder personnel. UASI grant administrators from the California Governor's Office of Emergency
Services (Cal OES) have approved the expenditure plan of equipment, planning and training needs
of the City. The spending plan was submitted in advance of funding approval in accordance with
grant requirements. Grant funds are restricted in how they can be spent and cannot supplant normal
budgetary items for the City.

File#: 14-0716, Item#: 4.
On December 16, 2014, the City Council accepted UASI funding in the amount of $500,000 for a
major regional communications systems upgrade, a state-of-the-art firearms training simulator for the
Police Department and personal protective equipment for the Fire Department. The San Diego
Office of Homeland Security, who administers San Diego UASI program, has since then notified the
City of additional UASI funding to enhance security at the Police Department facility.
The Facility Security Enhancement Project was initiated in response to a November 2012 site survey
conducted by the San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center (SDLECC). Two main
recommendations by SDLECC will increase the facility's security and further protect the building
against acts of terror or violence.
The first recommendation will reinforce the front counter in the Chula Vista Police Department's lobby
with bullet resistant glass and paneling, separating the public area from the interior of the Department
(protecting employees at the front counter). The bullet resistant glass will replace the existing glass.
There will be no significant visual change to the lobby from the public's perspective.
The second recommendation will reinforce the Police Department's south facing door that leads onto
Center Street. Currently, the door is clear glass and leads into a hallway that is not manned. This
reinforcement will consist of steel mesh screening covering blast resistant glass.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed
by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict
of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This resolution
supports the goal of Strong and Secure Neighborhoods by enhancing the security of the Police
Facility and the readiness of law enforcement personnel.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in a one-time appropriation of $80,000 to the supplies and
services category of the Federal Grants Fund. The funding from the U.S Department of Homeland
Security will completely offset these costs. Therefore, there is no net fiscal impact to the City.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact for accepting these grant funds.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING
$95,000 TO THE SUPPLIES AND SERVICES CATEGORY OF THE ASSET SEIZURE FUND (4/5
VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The Police Department is requesting to appropriate $95,000 to the supplies and services category of
the Asset Seizure Fund for law enforcement equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section
15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the
environment; 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.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 authorized federal officials to implement a national
asset forfeiture program. The Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program is a nationwide law
enforcement initiative that removes the tools of crime from criminal organizations, deprives
wrongdoers of the proceeds of their crimes, recovers property that may be used to compensate
victims, and deters crime. The most important objective of the Asset Forfeiture Program is law
enforcement. Equitable sharing further enhances this law enforcement objective by fostering
cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Any state or local law
enforcement agency that directly participates in an investigation or prosecution that results in a
federal forfeiture may request an equitable share of the net proceeds of the forfeiture.
The City has a separate fund to monitor revenues and expenditures relating to asset forfeitures.
Department of Justice (DOJ) policy requires shared monies and property to be used for law
enforcement purposes only. The Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the U.S. DOJ
outlined directives that state and local law enforcement agencies must follow to obtain and use
equitably shared funds.
As listed in the "Guide to Equitable Sharing for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies" by the
DOJ Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, one of the permissible uses of equitably

shared funds is law enforcement equipment. The Police Department is requesting to appropriate
$95,000 to the supplies and services category of the Asset Seizure Fund for miscellaneous law
enforcement equipment that are not included in the General Fund budget.

SUMMARY
On November 19, 2014, the Director of Public Works received five (5) sealed bids for the "Broadway

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION

Contractor Bid Amount
1. Just Construction - San Diego, CA (non-responsive) $1,156,566
2. TC Construction - Santee, CA (responsive) $1,161,197
3. Ramona Paving & Construction - Ramona, CA (responsive) $1,162,485
4. Portillo Concrete Inc. - Lemon Grove, CA (responsive) $1,205,300
5. Palm Engineering Construction- San Diego, CA (responsive) $1,337,065
Staff reviewed the apparent first low bid by Just Construction Inc., and determined that the bid is
incomplete and non-responsive. The Just Construction Inc. bid documents included an incomplete
list of subcontractors form. Specifically the Subcontractors' License Number and class, percentage
of items performed by Subcontractors, and the percentage of total bid amounts were not provided.
Staff then reviewed the second low bid submitted by TC Construction and determined that the bid
package was complete, with no errors and omissions. Therefore, staff recommends awarding a
construction contract to TC Construction in the amount of$1,161,197.
The low bid submitted by TC Construction is below the Engineer's estimate of $1,282,600 by
$121,403, or approximately 9%. In the past, TC Construction has satisfactorily performed
construction projects for the City of Chula Vista. TC Construction is a Licensed General Contractor
Class A with a current and active License No.402459.

to California Labor Code section 1782(f)(2), Contractors bidding this project are not required to pay
prevailing wages to persons employed by them for this project as the project was advertised prior to
January 1, 2015.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that
may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Street
Improvement along Broadway between Main Street and South City Limits project support the Strong
& Secure Neighborhood goal as it will ensure the maintenance and rehabilitation of public

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING BIDS,
AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE "STORM DRAIN REHABILITATION FY 2013/2014 AT
VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA (DR193/DR196)" PROJECT TO TC
CONSTRUCTION CO., IN THE AMOUNT OF $795,373, WAIVING CITY COUNCIL POLICY 574-01 ,
AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF ALL AVAILABLE CONTINGENCY FUNDS IN AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $80,000
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
On December 3, 2014, the Director of Public Works received nine (9) sealed bids for the "Storm
Drain Rehabilitation FY 2013/2014 at various locations in the City of Chula Vista (DR193/DR196)"
project. The project will rehabilitate portions of the City's storm drain system. The project includes
the replacement and lining of existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP), installation of new drainage inlet
frames and grates, and repair of an existing box culvert at various locations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class
1 (c) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 [Existing Facilities] of the State CEQA
Guidelines because the project consists of the removal and replacement or rehabilitation of existing
corrugated storm drain pipes at various locations in the City of Chula Vista involving negligible or no
expansion of an existing use. Ancillary work will include replacement of asphalt surfaces, curbs and
gutters as may be needed. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
Based on the results of inspections, including those performed with a closed circuit television
camera, a number of existing corrugated metal pipes (CMP) conveying storm water runoff have been
identified by the Public Works Department as requiring replacement and/or rehabilitation. These
pipes are deteriorated and need to be either replaced or relined to contain and convey storm water
runoff and to prevent structural failure of the pipe and sinkholes. The project also repairs a portion of
an existing damaged box culvert and replaces storm drain cleanouts, drainage inlet frames, and
g rates.
The Contractor will be allowed to perform work at night to reduce traffic congestion within business
areas of the City during the day. Night work within residential neighborhoods will not be allowed.

On December 3, 2014, Public Works staff advertised the annual "Storm Drain Rehabilitation FY
13/14 at Various Locations in the City of Chula Vista (DR193/DR196)" project. The apparent low
bidders were contingent upon a grand total base bid of all proposed locations. The bids from the
nine (9) Contractors are as follows:
NO. CONTRACTOR BID
1 TC Construction Co. - Santee, CA $795,373.00
2 Just Construction - San Diego, CA $843706.30
3 IPalm Engineering - San Diego, CA $880,909.00
4 Ramona Paving & Construction Corp. - Ramona, CA $892,506.00
5 New Century Construction, Inc. - Lakeside, CA $919,127.00
6 GRFCO, Inc. - Brea, CA $957,641.50
7 Burtech Pipeline, Inc. - Encinitas, CA $996,975.50
8 PAL General Engineering - San Diego, CA $1,072,186.00
9 Weir Construction Corporation - Escondido, CA $1,052,104.00
The low bid submitted by TC Construction Co. is below the Engineer's estimate of $819,600 by
$24,227, or approximately 3%. TC Construction Co.'s performance on several other capital
improvement projects within the City has been satisfactory. Staff reviewed the low bid and
determined that the bid package is complete, with no errors or omissions. Therefore, staff
recommends awarding the contract to TC Construction Co. in the amount of $795,373. TC
Construction Co. is a licensed General Engineering Contractor (License No. 402459). Their license
status is current and active per the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractor State License Board.
The proposed resolution would also authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change orders
over and above existing policy limits. Under City Council Policy No. 574-01, if an individual change
order causes the cumulative increase in change orders to exceed the Director's authority ("Maximum
Aggregate Increase in Change Orders"), then City Council approval is required. The corresponding
maximum aggregate contract increase that may be approved by the Director of Public Works under
Policy No. 574-01 is $58,676. Approval of the resolution would increase the Director of Public
Works' authority to approve change orders, as necessary, up to the contingency amount of $80,000,
an increase of $21,324 over Policy No. 574-01. Increasing the contingency funds will allow staff to
continue the project without delay should unforeseen circumstances resulting in increased project
costs arise during the course of construction, as well as make adjustments to bid item quantities.
Unforeseen conditions include such items as utility conflicts, hazardous materials, unexpected
underground conflicts, etc. If the contingency funds are not used, then they will be returned to the
project fund balance.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL $1 ,563,585 FOR ENERGY
EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS AND TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT; AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AMENDMENT AND THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL
OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE AMENDMENT; AND APPROPRIATING
$1 ,563,585 TO THE ENERGY CONSERVATION FUND (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Since 2006, the City and San Diego Gas & Electric have been collaborating through a Local
Government Partnership to identify unique opportunities to maximize energy efficiency by leveraging
municipal policies, programs, and services. As a result, the Local Government Partnership has
helped to reduce the amount of energy consumed by municipal buildings as well as the broader
Chula Vista community. In addition to lowering monthly utility costs, these energy savings contribute
to lowering Chula Vista's greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for local power generation,
and improving air quality. The proposed amendment to the Local Government Partnership
agreement would provide an additional $1,563,585 and would enable implementation to continue
through March 2016.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity qualifies for a
Class 8 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15308 [Actions by Regulatory Agencies for
Protection of the Environment] of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed actions will
result in the implementation of energy efficiency programs that are designed to improve local air
quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
In 2006, the City and San Diego Gas & Electric began collaborating through a Local Government
Partnership (LGP) to identify unique opportunities to leverage municipal policies, programs, and
services to maximize energy efficiency in Chula Vista. The LGP has since matured into a
comprehensive and highly-effective initiative, which has been recognized statewide as a model for
successful collaboration. The funding is provided through "Public Purpose Program" charges
embedded within utility rates as authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission. The funds
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/8/2015
powered by Leg
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 44
File#: 14-0688, Item#: 8.
are used to reduce the amount of kilowatt-hours (electricity) and therms (gas) consumed by
municipal buildings as well as the broader Chula Vista community, especially sectors which
historically have not fully participated or are not eligible for existing energy incentive programs.
The City and SDG&E were awarded a $3,127,170 budget by the California Public Utilities
Commission in July 2012 to continue the successful Local Government Partnership for two more
years and amended their original 2009 LGP agreement accordingly (Resolution #2012-235).
Recently, the California Public Utilities Commission has once again approved extending Chula
Vista's LGP with SDG&E for another year (through March 31, 2016) with an additional $1,563,585 in
authorized budget ($4,690,755 total). As such, the City and SDG&E are proposing a second
amendment to the original agreement. The Chula Vista/SDG&E Local Government Partnership aligns
with the Council-adopted Chula Vista Energy Strategy & Action Plan (2001), which prioritized energy
management options to address citywide demand and supply, and the Chula Vista Municipal Building
Energy Efficiency Policy (2005), which requires the incorporation of energy-conserving measures into
City facilities. In addition to lowering energy use and costs, the LGP contributes to lowering Chula
Vista's greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for local power generation, and improving air
quality.
Over the next year, the Local Government Partnership will allow the Public Works Department to
identify and implement energy improvements at municipal facilities including exploring LEED
certification for a City-owned building. In the community, the funding will support energy efficiency
education and no-cost services for residents and businesses through the Free Resource & Energy
Business Evaluations (FREBE), Home Upgrade Carbon Downgrade, Library Energy Lounge, and
Recreation Empower Hour programs. Similarly, the Development Services Department will be able
to provide no-cost technical assistance to contractors and developers to help them comply with state
and local energy codes and access available energy efficiency rebates. Finally, the additional LGP
funding will allow the City to further develop the Climate Change Working Group's energy-related
recommendations for future City Council consideration.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods, and a Connected Community. The Local
Government Partnership directly supports the Healthy Community goal because it seeks to reduce
demand for power generation, thus helping to improve local air quality. The Local Government
Partnership will also result in lower long-term utility use and costs at municipal facilities and
throughout the community.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The $1,563,585 appropriation will support continued implementation of the Chula Vista/SDG&E Local
Government Partnership program through March 2016. The funds, which will be appropriated to the
City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 3 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 45
File#: 14-0688, Item#: 8.
Energy Conservation Fund, will be used to support City staff time and program costs for developing
and implementing energy efficiency programs at municipal facilities (non-capital expenditures only)
and in the community. For Fiscal Year 2015, staff will be appropriating $192,407 to the Personnel
Services category, $646,412 to the Services and Supplies category, $724,298 to the Other Expenses
category, and $468 to the Utilities category of the Energy Conservation Fund to be offset by grant
revenue.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The second amendment to the current Local Government Partnership agreement will provide an
additional $1,563,585 through the program period ending on March 31, 2016. These funds will fully
support City staff time and program costs associated with developing and implementing identified
energy efficiency-related programs. The Municipal Energy Efficiency Improvements component will
produce long-term annual energy cost savings for the City's General Fund and help minimize the
impact of future utility rate increases. The program also helps local businesses and residents reduce
their monthly utility costs and redirect those financial resources to support local purchases and job
creation.

The 2010-2012 SDG&E/Chula Vista Energy Efficiency Partnership's goal is to create
innovative approaches to improving community and municipal energy efficiency and achieving
both direct and indirect energy savings. The Partnership will combine and leverage the resources
of four City departments to deliver cost-effective, holistic opportunities for promoting energy
efficiency within the community.
The program components include municipal facility efficiency improvements, strengthened
building energy codes and inspections, energy-saving redevelopment planning and design and
community-based energy conservation education and facility assessments. The program will
mainly serve City of Chula Vista residents and businesses estimated at 225,000 and 13,000,
respectively. It is also anticipated that the SDG&E/Chula Vista Partnership may partially serve
neighboring communities and further act as a program model for other South Bay cities' future
involvement in SDG&E Energy Efficiency Partnerships.
4. AUTHORIZED WORK
4.1. Scope. The work authorized by the Commission for the Program ("Authorized
Work") is set forth in this Agreement and in the Scope of Work for the service territory of
SDG&E and shall be performed by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.2. Objectives. Major objectives for the Program are as follows:
Community Energy Efficiency
The Conservation & Environmental Services Department will continue to
promote energy efficiency and conservation in the community through its
business/residential energy evaluation program and participation in community
outreach events. Staff will use the on-site evaluations and events to distribute
energy-saving devices such as Compact Fluorescent Lamps, LED holiday lights,
indoor water savings kits, and "smart" power strips to help the community reduce
their energy use and utility costs. Staff will also integrate the new Home
4
2010-2012 CITY OF CHULA VISTA ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 71
Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade program, which provides streamlined permitting,
contracting, and financing for energy efficiency retrofits, into Partnership
activities. Finally, the Conservation & Environmental Services Department will
assist neighboring South Bay communities in developing their own energy and
climate-related programs helping to reduce regional energy demand and improve
local air quality.
Sustainable Communities
The Sustainable Communities Program, which is administered by the
Development Services Department, will work to further integrate energy
efficiency into the planning, permitting, and inspection process. Program staff
will provide technical support to permit applicants, contractors, and developers on
energy efficiency measures and will train permit counter technicians, plans
examiners, and building inspectors on advanced energy technologies. Finally,the
program will verify compliance with Chula Vista's new green building standards
(including enhanced energy efficiency requirements) and may develop a
voluntary, incentivized option for project proponents interested in efficiency
levels beyond the new State codes and related City ordinances.
Energy-Efficient Economic Development Initiative
The City's Economic Development Division will demonstrate how energy-
efficient and renewable energy technologies and energy conservation can be cost-
effectively integrated into large-scale development projects to reduce energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative will expand upon and
leverage current work by the National Energy Center for Sustainable
Communities through additional research, demonstration, and technical assistance
projects that will enable developers and builders to design and construct high-
efficiency and zero-net-energy projects at "Greenfield" and `Brownfield" sites
throughout the City.
Municipal Energy Efficiency Improvements
The program, which is administered by Public Works with assistance from the
Conservation & Environmental Services Department, will support staff time to
expand the City's energy management efforts by identifying and implementing
energy efficiency and demand response strategies which lower municipal energy
consumption and produce cost savings.

EmPower Chula Vista Outreach Program
DESCRIPTION
The Empower Chula Vista program is designed to complement San Diego Gas &
Electric's residential and commercial energy efficiency programs by providing trained
City staff to engage and educate Chula Vista businesses, residents, and contractors about
energy-saving opportunities. City staff are able to play a unique role in delivering energy
efficiency programs to their community, both because their more proximate relationship
with citizens, and because they are able to leverage other municipal services/processes to
maximize outreach effectiveness. For the 2010-2012 Energy Efficiency Partnership, the
City of Chula Vista will build upon its successful Empower Chula Vista program - which
distributed over 50,000 CFLs, 2,600 water-saving devices, and performed over 2,000
energy evaluations in the community since 2006 - by broadening its targeted audience
and its focus on whole-building energy performance retrofits, "plug-loads", and energy
consumption behavior.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, &DELIVERABLES
1. Increase the community's awareness and access to energy-saving technologies &
promote CPUC/SDG&E's involvement in delivering energy-saving opportunities
a. Objective — Trained City staff will perform free on-site energy evaluations
for Chula Vista businesses and residents. The evaluations will include a
review of past consumption data (using SDG&E's Energy Waves software)
and an analysis of energy-saving opportunities (both technological and
behavioral). City staff will provide participants with an overview of
applicable SDG&E incentive programs and assistance completing incentive
and/or On-Bill Financing applications. All referral information generated
through the evaluations will be electronically sent to SDG&E program
managers.

2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 94
i. Deliverables--Energy evaluations of local businesses and residences
will be completed generating SDG&E program referrals.
b. Objective—As part of the residential and business evaluations, City staff will
demonstrate to participants the amount of electricity being drawn by various
plug-load devices in their facility by using a Kill A WattTM device.
Participants may also receive a power strip with timer to reduce wasteful
"vampire" energy.
i. Deliverables Energy-saving power strips will be distributed (limit
one per householdibusiness during three year cycle). Vampire
energy can account for more than 8% of a typical home's electricity
usage.
c. Objective Program participants will have an option of monitoring their
home or business's energy consumption over a two-week period using a real-
time energy monitor (PowerCost Monitor TM or other similar device). At the
conclusion of the two week period, City staff will review with the participants
their energy use and applicable behavioral and operational changes to reduce
their consumption.
i. Deliverables — Residents and/or businesses will participate in the
energy monitoring program. Studies have shown that increased
energy awareness and simple consumption changes can deliver a
10%reduction in energy use.
d. Objective ---- As part of the City's Home Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade
program, residents and businesses interested in installing more energy-
efficient or renewable energy technologies will be able to take advantage of
streamlined contracting, permitting, and/or financing to facilitate retrofits.
Special foe-us will be given to promoting cost-effective, whole-building
performance upgrades (instead of single measures).
i. Deliverables Residents and/or businesses will enroll in the Home
Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade program resulting in installed energy-
efficiency and demand reduction equipment.
2. Promote the use and proper disposal of energy-efficient lighting
a. Objective — As an incentive for energy assessment program participation,
residents and businesses will be offered energy-efficient Compact
Fluorescent Lights (CFL) in exchange for traditional models.
i. Deliverables ---- CFLs will be exchanged for incandescent or other
traditional bulb types.
b. Objective — Due to the recent market transformation from older incandescent
lighting to energy-efficient Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL), there is a
growing community demand for opportunities to properly dispose of CFLs.
City staff will work to establish and promote convenient CFL disposal
opportunities for the South Bay community.
i. Deliverables — Disposal events will be organized in the South Bay
area, while permanent disposal sites will be promoted.

exchange up to three incandescent holiday light strands for energy-efficient
LED holiday lights.
i. Deliverables — LED holiday lights will be distributed annually
during the three-year program cycle. LED lights can save up to 90%
in holiday lighting costs and last 100 times longer than incandescent
lights.
3. Expand energy-efficiency opportunities in underserved community sectors in
which there is a high demand for energy efficiency services and considerable
potential for energy savings
a. Objective—Chula Vista is an ethnically diverse city with a large percentage of
residents, business owners, and contractors who speak a foreign language as
their primary language. To assist the program in successfully engaging these
typically underserved sectors, the City will recruit staff members who are
fluent in Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or another locally-spoken language.
i. Deliverables - Outreach team will include foreign-speaking staff
members who are fluent in the aforementioned languages. All
outreach materials will be translated into at least 1 foreign language
and used to engage with non-English speaking ratepayers.
b. Objective — In conjunction with the City's Redevelopment Agency and the
Office of Economic Development, the program will place a large emphasis on
penetrating new community sectors to deliver energy efficiency education,
assessments, and SDG&E program referrals.
i. Deliverables — Creation and distribution of customized promotional
materials, sector workshops, and multi-department outreach efforts
to new sectors which may include mobile homes, corporations,
box/department stores, dry cleaners, auto repair, supermarkets, and
healthcare offices.
c. Objective — The outreach program's "Peer-to-Peer" efforts will focus on
providing technical and policy support to enable smaller South Bay
municipalities to pursue energy efficiency regulations, facility retrofit projects
and community outreach campaigns by organizing a series of workshops and
meetings. The workshops will educate South Bay government employees and
officials about all aspects of energy management and provide valuable
"lessons learned" from Chula Vista's past experience implementing municipal
and community energy efficiency programs.

PROGRAM COMPONENT
Energy-Efficient Economic Development Initiative
DESCRIPTION
Through the current partnership with SDG&E, the City has begun to demonstrate how
energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies and energy conservation (SERE &
EC) can be cost-effectively integrated into large-scale development projects to reduce
energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed program will expand
upon and leverage this work through additional research, demonstration, and technical
assistance initiatives that will enable developers and builders to design and construct
high-efficiency and zero-net-energy projects at greenfield, grayfield, and brownfield sites
throughout the City. Further, the program will support a full-time Subject Matter Expert
(SME) to generate and manage these initiatives and to assist the Economic Development
Division and Planning Division attract businesses and development projects that will
enhance the City's energy-efficiency and emission reduction goals.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES & DELIVERABLES
1. Generate New Knowledge & Methods & Strengthen Utility Efficiency Programs

CTY CHUILAVISTA Staff Report
File#: 14-0731, Item#: 9.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT
SYSTEM (MTS) REGARDING THE CITY'S DIVESTMENT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution and approve the agreement.
SUMMARY
Over the last few years, MTS has been expanding its transit (South Bay) facility located at 3650 Main
Street in Chula Vista. The expansion will include additional bus parking and new administrative and
maintenance buildings. Additionally, MTS upgraded its Compressed Natural Gas fuel station in 2010.
With this expansion, MTS will be able to consolidate the operations of the Chula Vista yard into their
South Bay operations yard and vacate the PWC yard.
The consolidation of all the transit operations under the regional transit agency, MTS, will create a
reduction of administrative, management and operational tasks. Additionally, this consolidation will
create revenue generating opportunities for the City by making available for lease a fully equipped
bus maintenance facility.
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 the proposed action involves
administrative/maintenance activities by the City of Chula Vista. 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.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City has been operating public transportation services via Chula Vista Transit (CVT) since 1971 .
Over those 43 years, CVT has met the challenge of providing transit services to its residents by
expanding services as the City grew and purchasing the capital equipment necessary. In 2001 , the
City lost its direct allocation of State Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds. All TDA funds
were consolidated at the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) (then the Metropolitan
Transit Development Board). Due to the strong, respectful, and cooperative relationship the City has
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 4 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet powered by Leg age 113
File#: 14-0731, Item#: 9.
had with MTS, CVT continued to operate independently, but under the MTS umbrella. Over the years
MTS has provided all operating, administrative and capital funds for the City to continue to provide
transit service to the community through its transit system. In 2002, CVT moved its operations to the
new Public Works Center (PWC). Approximately $7.5 million of City Transportation Development Act
funds contributed to the building of the PWC.
The MTS transit yard expansion will now allow MTS to integrate the 38 buses currently used for CVT
services. The consolidation of services will open up operational efficiencies and effectiveness in the
provision of services and the use of public transportation funds.
This transition also opens up a revenue generating opportunity for the City by making the space
where the transit facilities are currently located in the PWC available for leasing. Transit facilities
currently at the PWC include the following: Office space, parking space, fully equipped maintenance
garage with six maintenance bays, mezzanine storage space and compressed natural gas facilities.
Since July 1, 2001, when the City started to participate in the consolidation of the Transit
Development Act, Article 4.0 funds in the MTS region, MTS has had an expanded regional view of
transit services. City boundaries within our region no longer determine transit service levels. MTS
took an unbiased view of the regional transportation needs of the greater community based on
empirical data. CVT has benefited by this approach with increased service frequencies.
Consequently, transit staff foresees MTS continuing to meet the City's current and future
transportation requirements. This conclusion is further supported by the continuing professional and
cooperative relationship the City has with MTS.
This agreement turns over all City transit related obligations to MTS. The following is a summary of
these obligations:
Transit Facilities - Responsibilities for general bus stop maintenance shall be transferred to MTS.
Services shall include installation of red curb (with City consultation), installation and removal of bus
stop signs, minor graffiti removal from bus stop structures and minor tree trims The City shall
continue to be responsible for City contracted waste management, street lighting, City-owned
benches and shelters, and landscaping in the City right of way. All bus stop facility installations or
relocations shall be coordinated with the City's Public Works Department.
Bayfront Trolley Station/Visitor Center (BFVC) - Effective January 25, 2015, the Visitor Center
building, any outstanding contracts with vendors, all utilities, facility maintenance and landscaping will
be transferred over to MTS to manage in its entirety. MTS will be fully responsible for the building.
Additionally, MTS and City acknowledge that the Bayfront/E Street Trolley Station is a site that has
been identified for a future transit-oriented development project, either alone or assembled with
neighboring properties. MTS and City agree to work cooperatively to identify a long-term use of the
trolley station property that preserves all property rights necessary to operate public transit services
at this location. It is anticipated that a future development will require the demolition of the Visitor
Center building.
Assume Contracts/Agreements - MTS shall assume all City transit-related contracts related to
operation and maintenance of transit facilities, e.g., Bayfront/E Street Transit Center, H Street Transit

Center and Southwestern College Transit Center. MTS shall be obligated to perform the services
identified in the Contracts in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised
by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations.
Transition/Oversight - MTS elects to retain and fund the City's Transit Manager position to assist
with the transition of CVT operations over to the South Bay facility, for an unspecified length of time.
MTS and the City shall agree to a reimbursement method that shall be invoiced by the City as follows
(post relocation of operations from the City to MTS's South Bay Maintenance Facility):
• February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 activities (5 months): Invoice $16,377 per month by July
31, 2015- and
• Post June 30, 2015 activities: Invoice $16,588 per month on a quarterly basis
until the elimination of the Transit Manager position.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Councilmembers and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The consolidation of
transit services in one transit yard will improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness.
Contribution to the Connectivity of the Community and the Economic Vitality of the City will continue
by providing transit trips that meet the shopping, medical, educational and employment needs of the
residents and visitors of City.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the agreement will result in an impact to the General Fund and the Fleet Maintenance
Fund. There is no net fiscal impact anticipated to the Transit Fund.
General Fund - The budget includes reimbursements from Transit to the Public Works department for
work performed on behalf of transit and for utilities expenditures. It is estimated the transition of
Transit will result in a loss of approximately $145,000 in revenues in the current fiscal year. The
Public Works department will no longer be reimbursed for work performed by Street Maintenance,
Signing and Striping, Park Maintenance, and Custodial on behalf of Transit. It is also anticipated that
utilities budgeted in Public Works Administration will be reduced once Transit is no longer located at
Maxwell Road. Staff is evaluating what expenditure savings, if any, can help offset the projected
revenue shortfall.
Fleet Maintenance Fund - The budget includes reimbursements from Transit to the Fleet
Maintenance Fund for expenses the Fleet Fund incurs on behalf of Transit. This includes utility costs
related to compressed natural gas (CNG) station and maintenance costs. It is estimated the
transition of Transit will result in a loss of approximately $47,000 in revenues in the current fiscal
year. The Fleet Maintenance Fund will assume the maintenance costs of the Compressed Natural
Gas Station in the amount of $9,130 and the compressor repair cost estimated at $9,500. Staff is
evaluating what expenditure savings, if any, can help mitigate the projected revenue shortfall.

Transit Fund - There is no net fiscal impact anticipated in the Transit fund. The City will continue to
budget for the Transit Manager and will continue to be reimbursed for these costs. No additional
expenditures are anticipated in this fund. Revenue shortfalls will be mitigated by expenditure
savings.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the agreement will result in an impact to the General Fund and the Fleet Maintenance
Fund, the full fiscal impact and possible mitigation strategies is being evaluated. There is no net
fiscal impact anticipated to the Transit Fund.
General Fund - The Public Works department includes approximately $304,000 in reimbursements
for work performed by Public Works staff and utilities costs incurred on behalf of Transit. These
reimbursements will be eliminated from future budgets. Staff is evaluating what expenditure savings,
if any, can help offset the projected revenue shortfall.
Public Works is currently in negotiations with Sweetwater Union High School District to relocate their
Fleet to the space currently occupied by MTS which may help mitigate the elimination of Transit
revenue.
Fleet Maintenance Fund - The Fleet Maintenance Fund includes approximately $215,000 in
reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of Transit. These reimbursements will be eliminated
from future budgets. Staff is evaluating what expenditure savings, if any, can help offset the
projected revenue shortfall. Furthermore, the Fleet Maintenance Fund will assume the maintenance
costs of the compressed natural gas station that has averaged $22,200 per year and the compressor
maintenance cost of approximately $25,000 per year. This will result in increased fleet maintenance
charges, which will also impact the General Fund.
Transit Fund - There is no net fiscal impact anticipated in the Transit fund. The City will continue to
budget for the Transit Manager and will continue to be reimbursed for these costs. No additional
expenditures are anticipated in this fund. Revenue shortfalls will be mitigated by expenditure
savings.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A $185,000
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY (CSE)
FOR SUPPORT IN IMPLEMENTING THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA'S SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Staff has prepared a two-party agreement with the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) for support
in implementing the City of Chula Vista's Sustainable Communities Program. The purpose of the
agreement is to perform a variety of tasks, such as education and training, code coaching,
inspections, pre-construction meetings and updates to the Sustainability Center website that will
promote energy efficiency and reduced green house gas emissions as part of the planning and
building process.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed agreement for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project is exempt, pursuant
to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA guidelines. The implementation of the SCP, including
education and training, code coaching, inspections, pre-construction meetings, and updates to the
Sustainability Center website, will not cause a significant environmental effect. Thus, no further
environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City is part of a Local Government Partnership (LGP) with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) to
promote energy efficiency in Chula Vista. As part of our LGP, the City of Chula Vista established a
Sustainable Communities Program in 2009, to investigate and update existing programs, guidelines
and regulations to reflect the advances that have been made in both green building and energy
conservation for buildings as well as community- and project-level site planning considerations.
Because technologies and standards are constantly evolving, the City's SCP also emphasizes
ongoing education and support for staff, developers and permit applicants. The City entered into an
agreement with SDGE for the 2015 funding cycle, with certain goals and objectives for its
Sustainable Communities Program.
Qualifications
Due to CSE's unique qualifications and energy efficiency expertise, the City accomplished the
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 126
File#: 14-0727, Item#: 10.
following in 2014: held 15 trainings on various energy efficiency topics (trained over 200 attendees),
provided one-on-one support for energy efficient design to staff and the development community, and
developed educational tools such as energy code and green building code correction lists, checklists,
and website updates (CVMC 2.56.070.B.4). Based on this experience, the Center for Sustainable
Energy has been selected to continue assisting the City in its Sustainable Communities efforts for
2015.
Scope of Work
The following summarizes the proposed scope of work to be performed by CSE team, in accordance
with the LGP agreement:
• Training of staff and development community
• Code coaching and Sustainability Desk staffing
• Secondary inspections for Energy Code compliance
• Pre-construction Meetings to promote opportunities for meeting and exceeding energy
goals
• Updates to Sustainability Center website
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Implementation of the
SCP supports the Healthy Community goal, as the SCP seeks to promote energy efficiency and
reduce green house gas emissions by infusing sustainable practices into the planning and building
process.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no net fiscal impact to the General Fund resulting from the proposed agreement. The cost
for the proposed scope of work is $185,000. The funds for the Sustainable Communities Program
have been appropriated and are provided through the Local Government Partnership with SDGE;
staff has confirmed that the proposed work is an eligible expense under the Partnership Agreement.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund.

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 19.09
(GROWTH MANAGEMENT), AND APPROVAL OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION MANUAL AND THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DOCUMENT
A. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO CHULA
VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 19.09 (GROWTH MANAGEMENT) (FIRST READING)
B. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION MANUAL TO REPLACE THE
THRESHOLD STANDARDS AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
POLICY, AND THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DOCUMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council hear public testimony, provide comments, and continue the item to January 27, 2015.
SUMMARY
The City Council adopted the Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee
Policy ("Policy") in 1987 and the Growth Management Program document and "Growth Management"
ordinance in 1991 , establishing Chula Vista's Growth Management Program. During the last high
growth period in the early 2000's, questions arose as to whether our Growth Management Program
provisions, largely developed almost 20 years prior, were still appropriate and effective. Council
subsequently directed that a "top-to-bottom" review be conducted. The proposed updated "Growth
Management" ordinance and Growth Management Program Implementation Manual are the outcome
of that effort.
Chula Vista experienced a growth boom that began in 1999 and continued through 2005. During that
time period, the City Council requested that a comprehensive review of the "Growth Management"
ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code) and threshold standards for eleven city
services or topics be conducted to make certain that they worked "in today's world." Therefore, staff
undertook the process of comprehensively reviewing the city's Growth Management Program from
"top-to-bottom," and hired a consultant (Economic & Planning Systems) to help work on an initial
review of the Growth Management Program, which resulted in a white paper with observations and
suggestions that was presented to Council in 2004. (This was in conjunction with the General Plan
Update that was occurring at that time.) Council accepted the white paper and authorized a work
program for undertaking a top-to-bottom review, and the preparation of resultant revisions to the
city's Growth Management Program provisions. Some of the key policy questions in the white paper
included:
■ Should threshold standards be revised to recognize the emerging urban policy objectives
within Western Chula Vista (Urban Core) versus the suburban development focus of the
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 11 Printed on 1/8/2015

File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
existing threshold standards?
• Should threshold standards be updated to reflect new service delivery, measurement
techniques, and review of their overall utility? Candidate updates included traffic modeling
techniques and congestion monitoring methods, and fire and police service standards.
• Should the city establish criteria and techniques that allow additional control of development
activity, including requirements above and beyond the current focus on tentative maps? This
included introducing building permit-based controls into the threshold standards, and
considering whether to add the prospective use of annual development metering tools.
• Should regional and intergovernmental cooperation efforts be improved? A specific example
was formalization of increased cooperation with the school districts to assure that their
respective school construction programs would be as timely as possible.
With input from the consultant, all city departments, stakeholders and a series of GMOC
commissioners (various GMOC annual reports since 2005 have recommended changes to the
"Growth Management" ordinance and threshold standards), staff drafted proposed changes to the
current "Growth Management" ordinance, which revises some of the threshold standards and adds or
modifies some of the goals, objectives and implementation measures currently outlined in the Policy.
Other proposed changes to the ordinance are discussed below, along with a discussion on the
Growth Management Program Implementation Manual proposed to replace the existing Threshold
Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee Policy and Growth Management Program
document.
A meeting was held with stakeholders, including members of civic organizations and the
development community, to seek input on the documents prepared. As a result, some changes were
made and are discussed where applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility that the
activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is
required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At their November 12, 2014 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council
adopt an ordinance approving amendments to the "Growth Management" ordinance (5-0-0-2) and
adopt a resolution adopting the Growth Management Program Implementation Manual (5-0-0-2).

1. New Growth Management Program Implementation Manual (see Attachment 1)
Currently, there is not a single document that brings together all of the Growth Management Program
components and processes into one integrated reference resource. The Growth Management
Program document from 1991 has been outdated for several years, and primarily consists of initial
facility and service status evaluations, similar to the ongoing evaluations that are done every year in
the GMOC annual report. The document does not include information on programs such as
Development Impact Fees (DIFs), which were developed after 1991 , or an evolution of growth
management considerations in the development process. The 1987 Threshold Standards and
Growth Management Oversight Committee Policy stipulates the GMOC's and the city's growth
management responsibilities, in addition to establishing the threshold standards and all of their
components. The fundamental purpose of the Growth Management Program Implementation
Manual is to combine relevant information from both of these documents and create the reference
resource that is missing from the Growth Management Program. The Growth Management Program
Implementation Manual:
■ Explains the structure and organization of the Growth Management Program;
■ Outlines development review processes, standards and requirements as they relate to growth
management;
■ Addresses the role of Facility Master Plans;
■ Explains financing programs;
■ Outlines implementation measures (such as issuing a "Statement of Concern" or considering a
moratorium)
■ Includes content guides/requirements for Air Quality Improvement Plans, Water Conservation
Plans and Public Facilities Finance Plans in its appendices.
2. Changes to the "Growth Management" Ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code (CVMC)) (see Attachments 2 & 3)
The primary revisions to the "Growth Management" ordinance are listed below:
• Inserted the threshold standards' goals, objectives and implementation measures that are
currently part of the Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee
Policy document. Significant changes were made to the goals for Traffic and Fiscal; less
significant changes were made to the goals for Schools, Sewer and Water.
• Implementation measures updated, for all of the threshold standards.
• Added references to Facility Master Plans in threshold standards for Fire and Emergency
Services, Parks and Recreation, Libraries and Schools.
• Made "Statement of Concern" available for any threshold standard, except Fiscal and Parks
and Recreation, which have other implementation measures more appropriate for those
topics.
• Established applicable moratorium considerations to building permit level instead of tentative
maps.

File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
• Moved detailed PFFP content requirements to the appendices section of the Growth
Management Program's Implementation Manual.
• Refreshed and updated policy statements, findings and definitions to reflect current context.
• Updated threshold standards to reflect contemporary considerations, as further described
below.
The following is an overview of the specific changes to each of the threshold standards:
Police-Priority 2
The Police-Priority 2 threshold standard has been out of compliance for 16 consecutive years. The
GMOC's 2010 Annual Report reviewed the history of non-compliance and concluded that a change
was appropriate.
The current Priority 2 threshold standard requires that 57 percent of the Priority 2 calls be responded
to within 7 minutes and that an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7.5 minutes or less be
maintained.
As part of the top-to-bottom process, the Police Department conducted research on the origins of the
city's Priority 2 threshold standard and the standards of other police agencies both in California and
nationally. They discovered that the current threshold's response times may be a poor reflection of
the actual real-world time for two reasons: 1) a "normalization" calculation currently applied is not
appropriate; and 2) the reporting method is not consistent with industry standards. For example, the
Chula Vista and San Diego police departments are the only police departments in San Diego County
that calculate their response times on "route to arrive," which is the time from when the call is routed
from the call-taker to the dispatcher who dispatches an officer to the call, until the time an officer
arrives on scene. The other police departments in the County calculate their response time averages
by "received to arrive," which is the time from when the call is initially received to when the officer
arrives on scene. Consequently, those response times are longer, and average between 12 and 13
minutes.
Based on this information, and in an effort to be more consistent industry-wide, the proposed Police-
Priority 2 threshold standard as proposed is:
Priority 2 Urgent Calls*. Properly equipped and staffed police units shall respond to all Priority 2 calls
within 12 minutes or less (measured annually).
*Priority 2 - Urgent Calls are misdemeanors in progress;possibility of injury; serious non-routine calls (domestic violence
or other disturbances with potential for violence); burglar alarms. Response: Immediate response by one or more
officers from clear units or those on interruptible activities (traffic, field interviews, etc.).
Police-Priority 1
The current threshold standard requires properly equipped and staffed police units to respond to 81

istar

File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
percent of Priority 1 calls within 7 minutes and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1
calls of 5.5 minutes or less.
Based on the discussion above regarding using the industry standard "Received to Arrive", the
proposed Police-Priority 1 threshold standard reflects that change, and is proposed as follows:
Priority 1-Emergency Calls*. Properly equipped and staffed police units shall respond to at least 81%
of Priority 1 calls throughout the city within 7 minutes 30 seconds and shall maintain an average
response time of 6 minutes or less for all Priority 1 calls (measured annually)
*Priority 1-Emergency Calls are life-threatening calls; felony in progress;probability of injury (crime or accident); robbery
or panic alarms; urgent cover calls from officers.
Air Quality
The Air Quality threshold standard, as currently written, does not incorporate a quantifiable
benchmark or mechanism to measure whether or not specific growth management goals are being
met. Also, reporting on air quality conditions is done on a subregional basis, and is influenced by
factors outside of the City's control. The Air Quality Annual Report required by the threshold
standard is more of an informational report to provide updates on Chula Vista's involvement with air
quality issues. The GMOC's 2009 Annual Report brought up this issue, noting that it is "difficult to
determine whether or not compliance is maintained."
The GMOC also noted that because greenhouse gas emissions are influenced by a variety of
environmental issues, such as water use, energy consumption, transportation levels and solid waste
disposal, a more specific greenhouse gas emissions standard could be especially useful for
assessing cumulative growth impacts. A new quantitative standard would also allow City staff to
more effectively identify actions and resources to address related air quality compliance concerns.
This would also better align with the City's other Climate Action Planning efforts.
The report recommended that the threshold standard should be revised to include incremental,
quantitative benchmarks, such as including a benchmark to attain a 20% decrease in greenhouse
gas emissions per capita, compared to the Climate Protection Program's 1990 emissions inventory.
And since Chula Vista has been actively implementing the council-adopted Climate Control Program
since 2008, combining "climate protection" with the Air Quality threshold standard made sense.
The proposed Air Quality and Climate Protection threshold standard, below, establishes a
quantifiable benchmark that factors in greenhouse gas emissions:
The city shall pursue a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target consistent with appropriate city
climate change and energy efficiency regulations in effect at the time of project application for SPA
plans or for the following, subject to the discretion of the Development Services Director:
1. Residential projects of 50 or more residential dwelling units or greater, or
2. Commercial projects of 12 or more acres (or equivalent square footage), or
3. Industrial projects of 24 or more acres (or equivalent square footage), or
4. Mixed use projects of 50 equivalent dwelling units or greater.
City of Chula Vista Page 5 of 11 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 159
File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
The existing threshold measure, which requires an annual report and distributing it to the Air Pollution
Control District (APCD), becomes an Implementation Measure.
A previous draft of this threshold standard did not include the language "for SPA plans" or "subject to
the discretion of the Development Services Director". This was added after input from the
stakeholder meeting to ensure that subsequent SPA implementing projects would not be required to
meet additional standards other than those prescribed in the Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP)
Guidelines.
Fiscal
Similar to Air Quality, the current Fiscal threshold standard does not incorporate quantifiable
benchmarks or mechanisms to measure whether or not specific growth management goals are being
met. Therefore, the following two new threshold standards are proposed:
1. Fiscal Impact Analyses and Public Facilities Finance Plans, at the time they are adopted, shall
ensure that new development offsets the cost of development.
2. The city shall establish and maintain, at sufficient levels to ensure the timely delivery of
infrastructure and services needed to support growth consistent with the threshold standards,
development impact fee, capital improvement funding, and other necessary funding programs
or mechanisms.
The existing threshold standard provisions, which require that the GMOC be provided with an annual
fiscal impact report and a development impact fee report, become implementation measures.
The Growth Management Implementation Manual states that Fiscal Impact Analyses are required
"with all SPA Plans and TMs, and for the following, subject to the discretion of the Development
Services Director: development proposals of 50 dwelling units or more, and commercial or industrial
projects with 50 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) or greater." As a result of the stakeholder's
meeting, the language "subject to the discretion of the Development Services Director" was added to
ensure that subsequent SPA implementing projects would not be required.
Traffic
There are currently two threshold standards for Traffic. The first one is for citywide maintenance of
level-of-service (LOS) "C" on identified arterial and major roadway corridors. The second one has
been outdated for many years and is specific to certain intersections "West of Interstate 805" that
were not meeting the threshold when it was adopted (1991), stating that signalized intersections that
do not meet the first threshold standard may continue to operate at their current LOS, but not worsen.
The proposed changes to the threshold standards follow up and incorporate provisions of the 2005
General Plan Update (GPU). The focus of the first threshold standard continues to be "arterial level-
of-service" (ALOS), while the second threshold standard addresses "urban level-of-service" (ULOS),
which the GPU allows to have a lesser vehicular LOS on a select set of arterial roadway segments,
primarily within the city's Urban Core area, as identified therein. The intent is to slow automobile
traffic in favor of promoting pedestrian activity, bicycles and transit.

File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
The two threshold standards proposed are below:
1. Arterial Level of Service (ALOS) for Non-Urban Streets: Those Traffic Monitoring Program
(TMP) roadway segments classified as other than Urban Streets in the "Land Use and
Transportation Element" of the city's General Plan shall maintain LOS "C" or better as
measured by observed average travel speed on those segments, except that during peak
hours, LOS `D"can occur for no more than two hours of the day.
2. Urban Street Level of Service (ULOS): Those TMP roadway segments classified as Urban
Streets in the "Land Use and Transportation"Element of the city's General Plan shall maintain
LOS "D" or better, as measured by observed or predicted average travel speed, except that
during peak hours, LOS "E"can occur for no more than two hours per day.
At the stakeholder's meeting, there was discussion about S13743, which requires the governor of
California to amend CEQA to provide an alternative to LOS for evaluating transit impacts. Since
those amendments have not yet been made, it would be premature to amend the Traffic threshold
standards by substituting LOS with other methodology. After the CEQA amendments have been
made, however, the proposed Traffic threshold standards may be amended.
Parks and Recreation
The GMOC's 2009 Annual Report recommended that the existing threshold standard for Parks and
Recreation be changed to apply citywide. The existing threshold standard specifies that three acres
of neighborhood and community parkland with appropriate facilities shall be provided per 1,000
residents east of Interstate 805. However, as development in western Chula Vista occurs, population
growth will require additional park and recreation facilities in that area as well. In fact, the City's
Parkland Development Ordinance (PDO) already applies citywide, and all new development is
required to contribute to provision of parkland at the rate of three acres/1000 new residents created
by that development. Revising the threshold standard will make it consistent with the PDO.
Therefore, the following threshold standard is proposed:
1 . Three acres of public parkland, with appropriate facilities, shall be provided per 1,000
residents for new development, citywide.
The 2009 report also recommended a second threshold standard: That park demand created by new
development west of Interstate 805 shall be met by new park facilities in Chula Vista west of
Interstate 805. This was in recognition of the fact that much of western Chula Vista was historically
developed absent contemporary parks standards, making it all the more important that new
development in the area provide for parks in the area. At this time, however, staff is not
recommending that a second threshold standard be adopted, but rather that it be considered in
conjunction with forthcoming actions on the city's parks master plan and Parkland Acquisition and
Development (PAD) fee structure. The threshold standard would be inconsistent with a potential
citywide combined park development impact fee, where projects could be prioritized throughout the
system.
Libraries

2015-01-13 Agenda Packet powered by Leg age 161
File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
The existing threshold for libraries requires construction of 60,000 gross square feet (GSF) of
additional library space, over the June 30, 2000 GSF total, in the area east of Interstate 805 by build-
out, phased such that that the citywide ratio of 500 GSF per 1 ,000 population will be maintained. The
library facilities are to be adequately equipped and staffed.
The city has been unable to maintain the ratio of 500 GSF per 1 ,000 population for the past ten years
and is not expected to achieve compliance with the threshold standard for several more. However,
the standard of 500 GSF per 1 ,000 population is a commonly used standard throughout the country,
which was confirmed by the consultant who worked on the library facility master plan. Therefore, the
proposed threshold standard does not change the existing ratio, but eliminates the section regarding
construction of new facilities because that is a statement of an end result, not a threshold standard.
The proposed threshold standard is:
The city shall not fall below the city-wide ratio of 500 gross square feet (GSF) of library space,
adequately equipped and staffed, per 1,000 population.
Fire and Emergency Services
The proposed changes to the threshold standard for Fire and Emergency Services are minor, simply
adding the words "at least" before "80 percent", and clarifying how response time is measured:
Emergency Response: Properly equipped and staffed fire and medical units shall respond to calls
throughout the city within 7 minutes in at least 80 percent of the cases (measured annually). Notes:
For growth management purposes, response time includes dispatch, turnout and travel time to the
building or site address.
Drainage
There are two threshold standards for Drainage, and the first one currently specifies complying with
the subdivision manual. The proposed threshold standard states:
1. Storm water flows and volumes shall not exceed city engineering standards and shall comply
with current local, state and federal regulations, as may be amended from time to time.
The words "with respect to the impacts of new development" have been added to the second
threshold standard to make the focus clearer:
2. The GMOC shall annually review the performance of the city's storm drain system, with
respect to the impacts of new development, to determine its ability to meet the goal and
objective for drainage.
Schools
Minor modifications are proposed to the Schools threshold standard. The names of the school
districts are now spelled out, and "5-year" forecast replaces the words "12 to 18-month" forecast
because the existing language is outdated. The following threshold standard is proposed:
City of Chula Vista Page 8 of 11 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet powered by Leg age 162
File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
The city shall annually provide the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) and the
Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) with the city's annual 5-year residential forecast and
request an evaluation of their ability to accommodate forecasted growth, both citywide and by
subarea. Replies from the school districts should address the following:
1. Amount of current classroom and "essential facility"capacity now used or committed;
2. Ability to absorb forecasted growth in affected facilities and identification of what facilities need
to be upgraded or added over the next five years,
3. Evaluation of funding and site availability for projected new facilities identified; and
4. Other relevant information the school district(s) desire(s) to communicate to the city and the
Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC).
Water
There are two threshold standards for Water, and the first one requires a service availability letter
from the water district for each project. To make the threshold standard clearer, the sentence
"Adequate water supply must be available to serve new development" has been added to the
beginning of it:
1. Adequate water supply shall be available to serve new development. Therefore, developers
shall provide the city with a service availability letter from the appropriate water district for
each project.
The wording in the second threshold standard has been changed slightly, and refers to the growth
forecast as a "5-year residential growth forecast, rather than a "12- to18-month development
forecast" because the existing language is outdated. The following threshold standard is proposed:
2. The city shall annually provide the San Diego County Water Authority, the Sweetwater
Authority, and the Otay Municipal Water District with the city's annual 5-year residential growth
forecast and request that they provide an evaluation of their ability to accommodate forecasted
growth. Replies should address the following:
a. Water availability to the city and planning area, considering both short- and long-term
perspectives,
b. Identify current and projected demand, and the amount of current capacity, including
storage capacity, now used or committed;
c. Ability of current and projected facilities to absorb forecasted growth,
d. Evaluation of funding and site availability for projected new facilities,
e. Other relevant information the district(s) desire(s) to communicate to the city and Growth
Management Oversight Commission (GMOC).
Sewer
There are two threshold standards for Sewer, and the words "existing and projected facility" and
"current system and budgeted improvements" have been added to the first one to make it clearer.
The proposed threshold standard states:
City of Chula Vista Page 9 of 11 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet powered by Leg age 163
File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
1. Existing and projected facility sewage flows and volumes shall not exceed city engineering
standards for the current system and for budgeted improvements, as set forth in the
Subdivision Manual.
The second threshold standard has been amended to include the possibility of wastewater
treatment sources other than the San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Authority and reads as
follows..
2. The city shall annually ensure adequate contracted capacity in the San Diego Metropolitan
Sewer Authority or other means sufficient to meet the projected needs of development.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Updates to the
Growth Management Program maintain the threshold standards that support the Strategic Plan's
major goals, including the Fiscal threshold standard, which supports the Economic Vitality goal,
"encouraging policies, planning, infrastructure, and services that are fundamental to an economically
strong, vibrant city." The Air Quality, Libraries and Parks and Recreation threshold standards support
the Healthy Communities goal, promoting "an environment that fosters health and wellness and
providing parks, open spaces, outdoor experiences, libraries and recreational opportunities that
residents can enjoy." And the Police, Fire and Emergency Services, Traffic, Sewer and Drainage
threshold standards support the Strong and Secure Neighborhoods goal, ensuring "a sustainable and
well-maintained infrastructure to provide safe and appealing communities to live, work and play" and
maintaining "a responsive Emergency Management Program."
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Staff costs associated with the preparation of the proposed documents are covered within the
adopted budgets of the various participating City departments. Adoption of the updated documents
will not directly result in fiscal impacts.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
City Departments' monitoring efforts needed to report annual compliance with any revised threshold
standards will continue as they have in prior years. Actual field measured conditions will now simply
be reported in relation to the revised standards. Staff costs associated with these monitoring efforts
will continue to be included for Council consideration as part of each involved department's annual
City budget adoption process. General Fund support for these efforts will continue to be offset by
City of Chula Vista Page 10 of 11 Printed on 1/8/2015
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 164
File#: 14-0625, Item#: 11.
development fees, to the extent legally permissible.
Any new project level requirements will be implemented through the development review process,
which is funded by development processing fees. The fiscal impacts from the new standards will
also be evaluated through the City's fiscal impact analysis process for future new development.
These project specific analyses will continue to be funded by private development.
While the anticipated fiscal impact of each project will be presented to the City Council in conjunction
with the project approval process, actual fiscal impacts will vary based upon regional economic
factors and local legislative actions. As such, the ongoing ability of the City to meet the threshold
standards may vary, and cannot be directly attributed to new development.

I. Introduction
The purpose of the Growth Management Program Implementation Manual(Manual) is to provide direction for
implementing the city of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program, outlined in the"Growth Management
Element" of the city's General Plan and in its"Growth Management" ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code(CVMC)). The Manual sets out the procedures and requirements for how the Growth
Management Program is administered, including how growth management policies integrate with other
aspects of development regulation, finance, and municipal operations.
The multi-faceted Growth Management Program is comprised of and executed through several documents
and related regulatory programs, and includes a systematic application of land use regulations and policies,
facility and service threshold standards, environmental review, financing mechanisms, and monitoring and
enforcement functions. All are designed to ensure that development occurs only when necessary public
facilities and services are provided to meet the demands of new development, so that quality of life in Chula
Vista can be maintained or enhanced.
The city's Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) annually measures the city's quality of life by
measuring the effects of growth against established performance threshold standards that reflect desired
levels of services for eleven issues, and evaluates the city's ability to meet quality of life objectives at the build-
out of its General Plan. While the focus is on the effects of new development, other factors not entirely
related to new development can influence threshold compliance and/or quality of life. For instance, response
times for Police and Fire/EMS encompass all calls for service citywide, not just those related to new
development, and thereby may be impacted by circumstances unrelated to growth.
In addition to the GMOC, other city boards and commissions or city departments may take the lead in
addressing issues related to the city's quality of life. For example, the Police Department annually provides
response time data to the Public Safety Subcommittee and the Chief's Advisory Committee, the Board of
Library Trustees and the Parks and Recreation Commission advise on subjects such as facilities and master
plans, and the Resource Conservation Commission makes recommendations on topics such as climate change
and energy efficiency. The eleven quality of life issues that are measured annually by the GMOC have been
integrated into the day-to-day workings of city business and that of involved agencies for the 25-plus years
since growth management was instituted.
Preservation of quality of life lies at the heart of the city's Growth Management Program and, as Chula Vista
continues to grow, it will remain a vital component of the growth management process. In essence,the
Growth Management Program has three primary objectives in managing quality of life:
• To assure the concurrency of new infrastructure and public service delivery capacity to maintain or
improve levels of public service for the residents and businesses of Chula Vista as new growth occurs;
• To maintain the city's fiscal well-being by assuring that new development pays its proportional share
of infrastructure and service costs while it strengthens the city's ability to sustain high-quality
municipal services; and
5
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 170
■ To assure that growth does not negatively affect the public health, safety and welfare or diminish the
city's ability to achieve its urban development goals as expressed in the General Plan.
The Growth Management Program Implementation Manual begins by providing background information on
the Growth Management Program ("GMP"). Next, it provides a summary of how the elements of the GMP
function and interface with each other. Finally, the Manual explains the processes and procedures for
administering the GMP.
II. Background
Chula Vista, the second largest city in San Diego County, was incorporated in 1911 and grew steadily and
incrementally until the 1980s,when large-scale development began to occur in the eastern part of the city. In
that decade, Chula Vista expanded its boundaries with large undeveloped ranch lands east of Interstate 805,
establishing significant opportunities for the city to work with developers in providing high-quality master-
planned communities, such as Rancho del Rey and Eastlake, the first of many master-planned communities in
eastern Chula Vista.
At that time, there was serious concern that poorly managed growth could strain the city's ability to provide
public services,worsen existing traffic problems, and lead to an overall reduction in service levels and the
quality of life of its residents. To ensure that adequate infrastructure and services were keeping pace with
development and that quality of life was being maintained,the Chula Vista city council appointed an ad hoc
committee to develop quality of life threshold standards for the city. The concept was to establish
performance standards reflecting either current or desired levels of service, and then measure the effects of
growth against those standards each year. In this way, the city could use the standards to evaluate its ability
to meet quality of life objectives at the build-out of its General Plan, and also monitor the standards annually
as growth occurred to ensure that they were being met.
The ad hoc committee, consisting of representatives from community groups,the city's planning commission,
and the development community, met several times over a period of months. They selected and defined
threshold standards for eleven topics, including Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services, Schools,
Libraries, Parks and Recreation,Water, Sewer, Drainage,Traffic,Air Quality and Fiscal, which were introduced
in a document called Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee Policy(approved by
city council in November 1987). The Policy defined a program that could preserve and enhance Chula Vista's
public services and quality of life while growth occurs, requiring an annual citywide threshold compliance
review assigned to a Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC) (now a commission),who must
report through the planning commission to the city council, which holds a public hearing to discuss the report
and take any necessary actions. The GMOC's review and report are intended to be completed prior to council
budget workshops so that threshold situations, which may require funding for solution, can be accommodated
during the regular budget process.
Initiated by the Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee Policy, the city adopted
the following growth management documents between 1987 and 1991:
6
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 171
1. "Controlled Residential Development" ordinance (aka the "Cummings Initiative") (Chapter 19.80 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code) (1988);
2. "Public Facilities and Services" element of the Chula Vista General Plan (1989);
3. "Growth Management Element"of the Chula Vista General Plan (April 17, 1990);
4. Growth Management Program (April 23, 1991);
5. "Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC)" ordinance (Chapter 2.40 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code) (May 7, 1991); and
6. "Growth Management" ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code) (May 28,
1991).
Since 1989, some minor changes have been made to the threshold standards, and the Threshold Standards
Policy and the "Growth Management" ordinance have been updated,accordingly. The "Growth Management
Components" section (Section IV) of this Manual goes into greater detail regarding these documents and
various others, which are vital tools in accomplishing the Growth Management Program's ultimate goal of
maintaining and improving a high quality of life for current and future residents of Chula Vista.
In addition to growth management documents, the "Components" section summarizes various growth
management regulatory programs that have been established to fund and/or are essential for the Growth
Management Program to function effectively, including:
1. Development Impact Fees;
2. Intergovernmental Agreements;
3. Capital Improvement Programs; and
4. Community Facility Districts, amongst others.
The growth management documents and regulatory programs are supplemented by coordination with other
agencies (school districts, water districts and the Air Pollution Control District) to monitor the effects of growth
on the city.
In the 25 plus years since the Growth Management Program was established, additional master-planned
communities have evolved in the east, including Otay Ranch, Rolling Hills Ranch, and San Miguel Ranch,
resulting in over 30,000 new housing units between 1986 and 2014. Concurrent with this growth has been the
provision of public facilities and services that have generally maintained the community's quality of life,
consistent with the intent of the Growth Management Program. As development continues in both eastern
and western Chula Vista,the city will continue to implement the Growth Management Program to help
maintain and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
III. Summary of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program
Chula Vista's Growth Management Program (GMP) is based upon policies set forth in the Chula Vista General
Plan's"Growth Management Element", and in the"Growth Management" ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code), which outlines the procedures for threshold standards and related regulatory
actions, and the imposition of growth controls. The GMP policies are implemented through three fundamental
aspects—Forward Planning, Development Processing, and Monitoring/Tracking, providing a stable and
balanced method for carrying out the GMP.

The roles and functions of each of these three aspects are illustrated in Figure 1, below, and are subsequently
introduced and explained.

A. Forward PI , n n
Forward planning begins with Chula Vista's General Plan, which has been updated twice since the
inception of the city's Growth Management Program in 1987. Threshold standards are incorporated in the
General Plan as policies and, when the General Plan is updated or amended, are used to analyze and
provide technical analysis of the facility and service demands of the General Plan's land use proposals to
determine whether they would comply with the threshold standards at General Plan build-out.
The General Plan's"Growth Management Element" establishes policy basis for growth management
provisions, and the "Public Facilities and Services Element" establishes the city's plan to provide and
maintain infrastructure and public services for future growth, without diminishing services to existing
development.
8
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 173
Based upon the General Plan's land uses, the city's operating departments prepare various Facility and
Service Master Plans, which underpin long-term threshold standard compliance by clarifying the
obligations of new development with regard to a particular type of facility, such as parks or fire stations.
The operating departments, as well as other agencies providing services in Chula Vista, also develop
"strategic plans" that outline service demands and how these demands will be met. The city regularly
interfaces with the water districts and school districts when they prepare their master plans and facility
needs analyses.
To ensure that capital facilities will be constructed for the benefit of new development, Development
Impact Fees(DIF)are to be paid for each development project within the city. DIFs are one-time charges
that fund capital construction of additional sewer systems, roads, libraries, parks and recreation facilities,
etc. made necessary by the presence of new residents in the area and as outlined in the facility master
plans. Costs are apportioned to individual units of remaining development by type (residential,
commercial, industrial) and are regularly reviewed for potential updates considering changing land uses,
costs and/or other circumstances.
B. Development Processing
The GMP is woven throughout the citywide development review process for projects to determine the
possible impacts of the project and to apply appropriate conditions and requirements in order to mitigate
those impacts. For projects in the Planned Community zone, threshold standards are integrated into the
city's development review process in a three-tiered manner, involving preparation of a General
Development Plan (GDP), the preparation of a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan with a corresponding
Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP)/Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA), and a Tentative Map. This process
establishes basic land use and development provisions, completes initial environmental review under
CEQA, provides a framework for subsequent environmental review and actions, and establishes
mechanisms and assurances that threshold standards can be met as development is actually occurring.
This approach has served the city well in managing growth in eastern Chula Vista.
For projects outside of the PC zone, a different approach to regulation has been established to manage
development and redevelopment. This approach relies upon the preparation of city-sponsored specific
plans and corresponding PFFPs (or equivalents), as well as a regulatory framework that accounts for the
smaller size of urban infill projects and the related need for public investments.
Growth management considerations for smaller projects outside of the PC zone are addressed through the
CEQA process, which may result in mitigation measures; through conditions of approval,which may
require improvements or dedications; and through payment of Development Impact Fees.
C. Monitoring/Tracking-Given that the above noted project reviews and condition are based on
assumptions about phasing and growth patterns, monitoring and evaluation of actual development is
necessary to determine if assumptions were correct, and, if not, to be able to make adjustments as
needed. Monitoring the status of development and compliance with the city's Growth Management
Program is also done to ensure that the cumulative impacts of new growth do not result in deterioration of
9
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 174
quality of life, as measured by the threshold standards. The monitoring is accomplished through various
methods.
One such method is the GMOC's Annual Report,which analyzes the effects of actual development activity
on threshold standard compliance and identifies any necessary remedial actions for the planning
commission and city council to consider. The report relies on responses to questionnaires completed by
city departments and service agencies related to threshold standard topics. The questionnaires include a
Residential Development Forecasts looking out five years, to provide agencies and departments with
growth projections that may generate the need for additional services. kJ06�,
Development Tracking is another tool used to monitor growth. The Development Services Department
produces a table monthly to track the number of single-family and multi-family units at each stage of
project implementation: SPA Plan,Tentative Map, Final Map, Building Permit Issued and Occupancy. The
information is useful in tracking timely implementation of Public Facility Financing Plans (PFFPS) phasing
requirements and other SPA Plan or Tentative Map conditions relative to maintaining compliance with
threshold standards. #"q% Is
Implementation of CEQA mitigation measures through Mitigation Monitoring& Reporting Programs
(MMRPs) is another method used to assure threshold compliance.
IV. Components of the Growth Management Program
The Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Committee Policy adopted by city council in 1987
was the first of several documents and regulatory programs that have established the framework of Chula
Vista's Growth Management Program, and provide for its implementation. The functions of the various
documents and regulatory programs are outlined in Tables 1 and 3 of this chapter, respectively, followed by
detailed descriptions of each. The status of each document and program is also noted in the tables, as some of
them have been amended or consolidated with others since their inception.

A. Growth Management Program Documents
1. Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Commission Policy
(Adopted by the City Council in November 1987)
The Threshold Standards and Growth Management Oversight Commission Policy("Policy') established
Chula Vista's Growth Management Program, identifying goals, objectives, threshold standards, and
12
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 177
implementation measures for eleven topics, and outlining responsibilities of the Growth Management
Oversight Commission. The eleven topics identified include: Air Quality, Drainage, Fiscal, Fire and
Emergency Services, Libraries, Parks and Recreation, Police, Schools, Sewer,Transportation and Water.
The information was updated and subsequently incorporated into the Chula Vista Municipal Code
(chapters 2.40 and 19.09), which were most recently updated in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and
replaces the Policy document. See item 7, below, for more discussion on threshold standards.
2. "Controlled Residential Development" Ordinance (aka the "Cummings Initiative"), Chapter
19.80 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (1988)
In 1988, Chula Vista voters adopted the Cummings Initiative (Initiative), which is codified in the Chula
Vista Municipal Code as Chapter 19.80, entitled "Controlled Residential Development." It directed the
city council to ensure that the city's General Plan had a "Public Services and Facilities" element and
that developers, after receiving discretionary approvals for any development project, participated in
the timely construction and financing of facilities, and that city council should expend all funds
collected solely for the purpose for which they were advanced. It also directed the city to "adopt such
further ordinances, resolutions, policies, or procedures consistent with the purposes, intents and
requirements of the ordinance," which resulted in adoption of the city's "Growth Management"
ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code) in 1991.
The Initiative included the finding that intense residential development was adversely affecting the
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Chula Vista, and that its purpose was to better plan for and
control the rate of residential growth in the city and to preserve quality of life. It also establishes that
rezoning of property designated for residential development outside of Planned Community(PC)
zoned areas could only be permitted to the next highest residential density category in any two-year
period (for example, RE, R1, R2, R3).
3. "Growth Management Element" of Chula Vista's General Plan
(Adopted by City Council April 17, 1990 and updated in 2005)
The purpose of the"Growth Management Element" is "to describe the various components that,
together, create the overall Growth Management Program that guides future development in the
City." The General Plan's"Growth Management Element" also provides the policy framework for
Chula Vista's Growth Management Program, whose overall goal is"To direct and coordinate growth
and development in ways that maintain, and consistently endeavor to improve, the quality of life for
current and future residents of Chula Vista."
The General Plan establishes the vision of the type of community Chula Vista will become, and the
"Growth Management Element" serves as a guide to assure that the vision is achieved,without
sacrificing the quality of life enjoyed in the community; it contains the tools to allow the development
patterns described in the "Land Use and Transportation Element" to take place over time. It considers
capacities and generation rates described in the "Public Facilities and Services Element" and
supporting documents to establish standards for new development, redevelopment and revitalization.
It recognizes the importance of resources described in the "Environmental Element" and the
13
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 178
contribution they make to the overall quality of life enjoyed by existing and future residents. Where
applicable, cross-references are provided in the "Growth Management Element"to identify where
interrelationships with other General Plan elements exist.
4. "Public Facilities and Services Element" of Chula Vista's General Plan
(Adopted by City Council April 17, 1990 and updated in 2005)
The purpose of the"Public Facilities and Services Element" is to establish the city's plan to provide and
maintain infrastructure and public services for future growth, without diminishing services to existing
development. Public facilities collectively refer to utilities, such as water, sewer, drainage, power and
telecommunications services, and to infrastructure such as parks and recreation centers, schools,
libraries, fire stations and police stations. Public services collectively refer to delivery of services such
as law enforcement and fire protection and to other services that support and enrich the community,
such as art and cultural facilities and programs, childcare opportunities, and health and human
services. California state law does not require this element in the city's General Plan; however, it
permits a general plan to include other elements and subjects that relate to the physical development
of a city and subjects that relate to quality of life. Once an optional element has been adopted, it
carries the same legal force and effect as a mandatory element.
S. Growth Management Program (Adopted by city council April 23,1991)
The Growth Management Program (Program) document, along with the "Growth Management
Element" of the General Plan and the "Growth Management" ordinance, created a comprehensive
system to manage future growth. The Program established a foundation for carrying out the
development policies of the city by directing and coordinating future growth in order to guarantee the
timely provision of bl' facilities and services,with primary focus being on the area east of Interstate
805.
The Program reviewed the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the "Growth Management
Element" and how the goals and objectives were met. It also:
■ O ed t union and responsibilities of the Growth Management Oversight Commission;
ro ed overviews of the different community planning areas, describing the existing
elopment process and the status of specific development projects for planning purposes;
Discussed each of the eleven topics with adopted threshold standards;
■ Provided a description of the various components of the overall phasing policy, proposed
specific development phasing policies, and presented a development phasing forecast;
■ Provided an overview of finance, discussing the existing finance approaches being used and
listed the various methods available to finance public facility improvements;
14
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 179
• Summarized the key components of implementation, describing threshold standards, facility
master plans, project processing requirements, the development phasing policies/forecast, the
GMOC, pacing of development, prioritizing projects, financial management and proposed
finance policies, and the organizational structure necessary to operate the program; and
• Provided a summary of the current status of the facilities in relation to threshold standard
compliance, as reported in the second annual report by the GMOC.
The information in the Growth Management Program was updated and incorporated into this Growth
Management Program Implementation Manual, which replaces the Growth Management Program
document. K I
6. "Growth Management Oversight Commission" Ordinance, Chapter 2.40 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code (Adopted by City Council May 7, 1991 and last updated in 2011)
According to the ordinance, the city council's purpose and intent in establishing the Growth
Management Oversight Commission was to "create an advisory body to provide an independent
annual review of the effectiveness of the General Plan regarding development issues," using
"threshold criteria to make determinations regarding the impact of development on the 'quality of life'
in Chula Vista; publish findings; and make recommendations thereon."
Chapter 2.40 also outlines functions and duties, membership and meeting schedule information for
the GMOC. One of the duties of the GMOC is to prepare an annual report, as described in no. 9,
below. This ordinance is supplemented by Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 2.25, described in no.
8, below.
7. "Growth Management Ordinance" Chapter 19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (Adopted
by City Council May 28, 1991 and last updated in 2014)
Consistent with the General Plan's"Growth Management Element" and in order to protect the public
health, safety and welfare, the "Growth Management" ordinance accomplishes the following:
A. Ensures that public facilities, infrastructure, and services continuously meet threshold
standards and are provided in advance of or concurrently with the demands created by new
development;
Assures that individual development projects measure potential impacts upon public facilities,
infrastructure and services and provide a plan for funding improvements needed to meet
threshold standards;
C. Limits or prevents additional development if public facilities, infrastructure, and services
improvements meeting established threshold standards are not provided in a timely and
logical fashion;
D. Controls the timing and location of development by tying the pace of development to the
provision of public facilities and improvements to conform to the goals and objectives of the
General Plan, the threshold standards, and procedures set forth in the Growth Management
Implementation Manual; and
15
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 180
E. Promotes revitalization and redevelopment of older portions of the city, including the "Urban
Core" area and the commercial corridors.
The "Growth Management" ordinance sets forth the basis of the procedures involved with growth
management, including both the monitoring of threshold standards and related regulatory actions and
the imposition of growth controls. Its purpose is to ensure that, as new development occurs, public
facilities, infrastructure and services will concurrently be provided to meet the demands generated by
new development, and that service levels to existing residents will not be reduced. Therefore, it
establishes requirements (in accordance with the General Plan) and specifies goals, objectives,
threshold standards, and implementation measures for eleven topics, including: Air Quality, Drainage,
Fiscal, Fire and Emergency Medical Services, Libraries, Parks and Recreation, Police, Schools,Sewer,
Transportation and Water. 4 X 40
• Each goal describes a desired condition or "end state",while the objectives represent
measureable steps toward achieving the goal.
• Threshold standards are levels of service or maintenance standards, adherence to which will
achieve the objectives and goal.
• Implementation measures are those techniques that will be used to encourage or enforce
maintenance of the threshold standards. These are the actions the city can take to preserve
the current quality of life while development progresses. Three key implementation measures
can be applied: Issuance of a "Statement of Concern";Adopt and fund tactics; and
Development Moratorium.
Statement of Concern
A Statement of Concern is an implementation tool that may be used by the Growth Management
Oversight Commission in its annual report, should the GMOC determine that a potential problem
exists with respect to any of the threshold standard topics.
■ When issued for an externally controlled threshold standards (e.g. Water, Schools, Air
Quality), the Statement of Concern will highlight what action the city and/or other agency
can take in order to solve the specified issue and encourages further or additional inter-
agency cooperation/coordination. There may also be a recommendation to issue
correspondence or a resolution by the city council to the external agency if the situation so
warrants, as determined by the GMOC and city council.
■ When issued to a city department regarding a current or forecasted failure of a threshold
standard, the Statement of Concern may include elements dealing with city management,
organization and budget priorities.
■ When issued in response to an overall or general quality of life consideration, irrespective
to whether a particular threshold standard has been exceeded, or if it is a non-growth-
related issue, the Statement of Concern can offer a finding, or make recommendations
regarding city management, organization and budget priorities.
16
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 181
Adopt and Fund Tactics
Capital, operational, or program elements may be identified as needing to be established in order
to correct a current or future threshold issue or deficiency.
Development Moratorium
The "Growth Management" ordinance provides that the city council may, by ordinance, at their
discretion or on the basis of recommendations provided by the GMOC, make specific findings and
impose a causal moratorium on the issuance of building permits in the city. This limitation,
consistent with the provisions of the "Growth Management" ordinance, must be directly related to
a cause associated with non-compliance of threshold standards and may be for the entire city or a
designated sub-area. Any such growth limitation would endeavor to minimize unintended
consequences and would be balanced and equitable. The moratorium would specify the
corrective action(s)to address the problem and a time frame for resolving the failure. See section
IV.13.10 "Building Permit Moratorium" for additional information
Table 2, below, identifies the review mechanism and implementation measure associated with
threshold compliance for each of the eleven topics.

2Required for SPA Plans,or projects of 50 units or more. Not applicable for non-residential projects.
The Growth Management Program implements the threshold standards through five procedural steps:
A. Determining the regulatory requirements to be imposed upon discretionary development
projects as defined by various state and local regulatory laws and rules and the growth
management threshold standards;
B. Applying these requirements when conducting discretionary review of individual project
proposals and modifying project proposal and/or applying appropriate mitigation measures;
C. Requiring a financing and phasing plan that assures the required public improvements will be
adequately funded, pay for themselves, and be available when needed;
D. Providing an annual review by a citizen commission (the GMOC) on the status of the city's
quality of life, how the growth management program is functioning to meet its stated
objectives, and to issue recommendations to the city council regarding findings related to
meeting growth related threshold standards and the growth management program in general;
and
E. Providing the city council with the opportunity to take growth management actions needed to
preserve, protect, and enhance the quality of life for current and future residents of the city.
8. "General Rules for Boards and Commissions" Ordinance, Chapter 2.25 of the Chula Vista
(Adopted by City Council in 2008 and last updated in 2011)
This ordinance supplements the "Growth Management Oversight Commission" ordinance described in
no. 6, above. It goes into greater detail regarding membership, attendance requirements, ethics,
compensation, operations, vacancies, etc. for all city commissions, including the GMOC.
9. Growth Management Oversight Commission's Annual Report
Chapter 2.40 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that the GMOC prepare an annual report for
the city council regarding the current and potential future compliance status of the quality of life
threshold standards. The report is intended to serve as a basis for recommending changing the capital
investment program, making changes to city organization and management, engaging in interagency
18
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 183
cooperation, and imposing development restrictions or other actions to assure that the threshold
standards and related quality of life in the city are sustained. The report:
• Assesses the accomplishments and deficiencies of the Growth Management Program over the
last year;
• Makes determinations as to whether each of the Growth Management Program's threshold
standards have been met during the review cycle;
• Comments on the likely future compliance status of each of the threshold standards, for up to
five years;
■ Identifies issues and concerns related to growth management and quality of life;
■ Prepares recommendations to the city council related to threshold standard compliance,
which may include: city management and organizational changes; capital investments;
budgetary and fiscal matters; areas needing interagency cooperation; and need to restrict or
reduce the rate of growth; and
■ Recommends changes or additions to growth management threshold standards and their
respective implementing actions.
One of the tools used to acquire information for the annual report is the Annual Residential Growth
Forecast and responses from agencies, described below.
10.Annual Residential Growth Forecast and Agency Response
The Annual Residential Growth Forecast(Forecast) is prepared in the first quarter of each fiscal year by
city staff. It includes historical information, as well as the number of building permits projected to be
issued each year over the next five years. The projections are based on disclosures from developers
and builders regarding residential projects that have been or are undergoing the entitlement process,
and could potentially be approved and permitted for construction within the next five years. These
projects are under the city's control with respect to the standard entitlement process time frames. As
such, the projections do not reflect market conditions outside the city's control and do not represent a
goal or desired growth rate. They represent a "worst-case" or more liberal estimate to assess
maximum possible effects to the city's threshold standards. Using more aggressive development
figures in the forecast allows the city and service providers to evaluate the maximum potential effect
on maintaining quality of life, and the ability to provide concurrent development of necessary public
41a and services.
'1W Nk
The Forecast is distributed to the city departments and outside agencies that monitor the Growth
Management Program's threshold standards. Each department and agency is asked for the
compliance status of the relevant threshold(s), and any future compliance issues relative to the level of
projected growth. The responses of the city departments and other agencies are then assembled and
presented to the Growth Management Oversight Commission as part of the Commission's annual
review activities.
19
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 184
11. Facility Master Plans
Facility master plans are the means by which public facilities (such as libraries and fire stations) and
services are planned for future adequacy at build-out.
Adopted by city council, these plans are prepared by applicable city departments and periodically
updated. They contain assumptions regarding existing and projected land uses and development
projections, and identify specific facilities that will serve the build-out of future development, along
with phasing and cost estimates. Development Impact Fees and other associated funding programs
are established based on the needs identified in the master plans. The operating departments may
also develop "strategic plans" that outline service demands and how these demands will be met. The
city also regularly interfaces with the water districts, school districts and the Air Pollution Control
District when they prepare their master plans and facility needs analyses.
Future development proposals utilize facility master plans to determine the adequacy of specific
facilities and to demonstrate compliance with the adopted threshold standards. A development
proposal must be consistent with these various facility master plans,which currently include:
■ Libraries Strategic Vision Plan (April 8, 2014) and Strategic Facility Plan (April 8, 2014)
■ Fire and Emergency Medical Services Master Plan (2014)
■ Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Draft December 2010)
■ Circulation Element of the General Plan (Updated in 2013)
■ Bikeway Master Plan (February 1, 2011)
■ Pedestrian Master Plan (June 15, 2010)
■ Greenbelt Master Plan (September 16, 2003)
■ Wastewater Master Plan (July 2014)
■ Drainage Master Plan (2004)
12. Air Quality Improvement Plans
Air Quality Improvement Plans (AQIPs) analyze air pollution impacts that would result from
development of proposed projects, and define methods for mitigating development impacts and
improving air quality. To enhance opportunities to improve air quality and energy conservation,
Section 19.09.050(B) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires AQIPS for: 1) all major development
projects of 50 dwelling units or greater; 2) commercial and industrial projects with 50 equivalent
dwelling units (EDUs) of air quality impacts or greater; and 3) all Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans
and Tentative Maps(TMs). The specifics for preparing AQIPs are attached in Appendix A.
13. Water Conservation Plans
In order to reduce future water consumption for approved development proposals, Section
19.09.050(C)of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires Water Conservation Plans (WCPs)for: 1) all
major development projects of 50 dwelling units or greater; 2) commercial and industrial projects with
50 EDUs or greater; and 3) all SPA Plans and TMs. The plans must include detailed information, such
20
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 185
as: a project description, identification of water service and supply, projected water use, and
implementation measures. The specific requirements are attached in Appendix B.
14. Public Facility Finance Plans
Public Facility Finance Plans (PFFPs) detail infrastructure and service requirements for particular
projects and indicate how the improvements will be phased and funded to ensure continued
compliance with threshold standards as development proceeds. They are the critical link between the
threshold standards and development entitlements. When specific thresholds are projected to be
reached or exceeded based upon the analysis of the proposed phased development of the project, the
PUP prescribes specific timing benchmarks for delivery of new infrastructure and services necessary
for continued compliance with the Growth Management Program and threshold standards.
Per Section 19.09.080 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, PFFPs are required for all SPA Plans and TMs,
and may be prepared at various times in the development review process. Instructions and
requirements for preparing PFFPs are outlined in Appendix C.
15. Fiscal Impact Analyses
The purpose of fiscal impact analysis (FIA) is to estimate the impact of a development or a land use
change on the expenditures and revenues to the city for serving the development.The analysis is
generally based on the fiscal characteristics of the community land values, needed facilities and
services, etc.The analysis enables the city to estimate the difference between the costs of providing
services, such as police and fire services, park maintenance, etc., to a new development and the
revenues (taxes and user fees, for example)that will be generated by the development.
Because a FIA is primarily based on an analysis of city revenues and expenditures, key players
conducting an assessment include the Director of Finance, the county tax assessor, and typically a
consultant to gather information and to prepare the analysis.
The city's Finance Department maintains the current FIA models that applicants must use. Two
models exist. One is used for large-scale analysis of build-out conditions, such as for General Plan level
analysis. The other is used for individual projects, such as SPA plans and Tentative Maps,which
evaluate conditions throughout the project's phased implementation. At the discretion of the
Development Services Director,a FIA may be required for development proposals of 50 dwelling units
or more, and commercial or industrial projects with 50 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) or greater.
Also, FIAs may be required for individual projects within SPA plans if they propose amendments to the
General Plan, General Development Plan or SPA.
Projects must be fiscally positive, and the "Growth Management" ordinance (Chapter 19.09 of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code) requires offsets for any negative years.
21

16. Growth Management Program Implementation Manual
Adopted by city council in 2014, the Growth Management Program Implementation Manual
("Manual") incorporates and replaces both the Threshold Standards and Growth Management
Oversight Commission Policy and the Growth Management Program documents. It provides direction
for implementing the city of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program, outlined in the "Growth
Management Element" of the city's General Plan and in its "Growth Management" ordinance (Chapter
19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code). The Manual sets out the procedures for how the Growth
Management Program is administered, including how growth management policies integrate with
other aspects of development regulation, finance, and municipal operations. ,

B. Growth Management-Related Regulatory Programs
1. Growth Management Oversight Commission
As outlined in Chapter 2.40 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, the Growth Management Oversight
Commission (GMOC) consists of nine citizens appointed by the city council and represent four
geographic areas in the city(southwest, southeast, northwest, and northeast), four interest areas
(education, business, development, and environmental), and a representative from the planning
23
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 188
commission. The purpose of the GMOC is "to provide an independent annual review of the
effectiveness of the General Plan in regard to development and growth-oriented issues; to make
determinations in regard to the impact of development on the quality of life in Chula Vista, using the
threshold standard criteria; and to publish findings and make recommendation on the same." In
addition, the GMOC looks at facility master plans, development activity, financing plans for
constructing new facilities, development phasing, and other growth management issues.
The city provides secretarial support and a liaison who serves as lead staff support and contact for the
GMOC, acts as facilitator for functioning the commission, and writes reports, including the annual
report that evaluates compliance of threshold standards and makes determinations regarding the
impact of development on the quality of life within the city.
The GMOC's review is structured around three timeframes:
• A Fiscal Year Cycle (July 1—June 30) to accommodate city council review of GMOC
recommendations that may have budget implications;
• The period after June 30 until completion of the annual report to address pertinent issues
identified during this timeframe, and to assure that the GMOC can and does respond to
current events; and
• A five-year forecast, beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year and ending in December
five years later to assess potential threshold compliance concerns.
2. Development Impact Fees and Other Funding Mechanisms for Public Facilities
Development Impact Fees (DIFs) are one-time charges applied to new developments. Their purpose is
to raise revenue for the construction or expansion of capital facilities located either within or outside
the boundaries of the new development, and to benefit the contributing development. Impact fees
are assessed and dedicated principally for the provision of additional sewer systems, roads, libraries,
fire stations and parks and recreation facilities made necessary by the presence of new residents in the
area. The funds collected cannot be used for operation, maintenance, repair, alteration or
replacement of capital facilities. Below is a list of established DIF funds as of Fiscal Year 2014-15:
■ astern Transportation TDIF
■ Western Transportation TDIF
Traffic Signal
■ Telegraph Canyon Drainage
■ Telegraph Canyon Gravity Sewer
■ Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin
■ Salt Creek Sewer Basin
■ Pedestrian Bridges(Otay Ranch Villages 1, 2, 5, 6, 11 and Millenia)
■ Public Facilities (Administration, Civic Center Expansion, Police Facility, Corp. Yard Relocation,
Libraries, Fire Suppression Systems, Recreation Facilities)
24
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 189
Chula Vista originally adopted DIFs in 1986 for the Eastlake master planned community and
subsequently adopted DIFs for all of eastern Chula Vista in 1998. Typically, the DIFs are updated in
accordance with updated Facility Master Plans, and on a periodic basis to reflect changes in
construction costs, etc.
The terms for collection of Development Impact Fees are outlined in various authorizing ordinances.
Fees are generally to be paid upon the issuance of building permits for each development project
within the city of Chula Vista, except that, at the discretion of the City Manager, prepayment
arrangements may be made. Also, whenever a developer is required to construct or finance a facility
that services more than just the demands of their project (such as a portion of a major roadway),
procedures are followed to receive DIF credit or reimbursement.
There are a number of financing options available for developer obligated capit prov ents,
including the following: JM4�• Cash/Pay-as-You-Go Financing: In this method the city charges the development community
a series of fees that provide the source of income to pay for capital improvement projects.
Once enough cash has been collected the city constructs the next capital project in order of its
priorities.
• Reimbursement Agreements: The city may, under certain circumstances, be asked by a
developer to reschedule a project to an earlier date and to construct the facility before funds
have been collected under the pay as you go or fee system. When this occurs, the city adopts
a policy of having the interested developer construct the project based on a reimbursement
agreement. The city pays the developer back for the portion of the project that was to be
funded by city resources when funds are available. The use of this method of project financing
does not eliminate the developer's obligations to pay city fees associated with their specific
development project.
• Credit for City Fees: When the city determines that the public interest is served by a
developer constructing certain public facilities earlier than possible under a pay as you go
program the city can consider giving the developer credit for fees that would otherwise be
paid at building permit issuance. These credits would reduce the amount of fees payable in
future years from a certain development. The use of fee credits is carefully examined to avoid
reducing the amount of available funds necessary to build other capital improvements.
Options exist when considering fee credits in the following areas:
Full fee credit immediately: Under this alternative, the developer who builds a public
improvement is eligible to deduct 100 percent of the cost of this improvement from the
required city fees. Once the fee credit is exhausted the developer begins paying fees as
normally assessed by the city. Under this option the developer gets immediate credit for
the total cost of the project.
25
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 190
• Full fee credit overtime: Under this alternative the developer who builds a public
improvement receives credit for the cost of the public improvement. However, the use of
the credit is spread over a number of years or payments. This would allow the city to
continue receiving some fees while at the same time crediting the developer for partial fee
payments
• Debt Financing: The city has a maximum special tax of 1%of the sales price of new
properties, as of the date of close of escrow. The statewide ad valorem property tax rate
is also 1%. Some of the other debt financing options available are described below.
3. Capital Improvement Program
The city's Capital Improvement Program is the annual council-approved compilation of all of the capital
improvement projects designed to foresee and address the city's future capital needs.
A Capital Improvement Project (CIP) is a public infrastructure project that increases the useful life of
the city's physical assets or infrastructure and/or adds to their value. Specific funding is granted by city
council.
Implementation of CIPs may have a direct effect on threshold compliance. For example, CIPs to
lengthen turn lanes or to add extra travel lanes may be necessary to improve traffic flow so that it will
comply with the level of service that meets the traffic threshold standard. Recommendations in
GMOC annual reports can, and have in the past, resulted in proposed CIPs to remedy issues such as
these. 7
4. Community Facilities Districts, Assessment Districts and Bonds
ff
Various special districts wit m the city collect fees,which are used for capital improvements defined
within their capital improvement programs. A Community Facilities District(CFD), such as a Mello-
Roos district, is a special taxing authority that may be formed to finance certain designated public
services and capital facilities by levying special taxes which are continuing liens levied against the real
property within the service area.
■ Mello Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982: The Mello Roos Community Facilities
District Act provides governmental entities with the ability to finance infrastructure
through the creation of a special tax as allowed by section 4 of Article XIIIa of the State
Constitution. This special tax may be created with the approval of two-thirds of the
property owners based on the amount of property owned or registered voters based on
one vote per person if more than twelve registered voters reside within the district. A
Mello Roos district may finance a wide variety of facilities, including schools. Libraries,
parks, streets and civic buildings. The act generally provides that a governmental entity, a
city a school or a joint powers authority may use a Mello Roos district to finance any
facility that the legislative body for that government is empowered to construct.
26
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 191
Capital facilities that may be funded by a CFD include: police and fire protection stations, open space
improvements, cultural facilities, and elementary and secondary schools. CFDs also fund maintenance
for a range of facilities and open space districts.
An Assessment District may be formed by the city when it embarks on a public works project — such
as a new road or a sewer system upgrade —to raise the funds needed to cover the expense. It is
a specially designated area encompassing properties that stand to benefit from a particular
improvement.
■ Assessment Districts: Assessment districts generally fall into the Municipal Improvement
Act of 1913 Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California and the
Improvement Act of 1915 is Division 10 of the Streets and Highways Code. The city may
use assessment districts to assist the developer in the construction of various public
improvements that may be financed through either the use of a 1913 or 1915 assessment
district. There must be a significant public benefit from this improvement to use these
districts.
Property owners in Assessment Districts collectively pay in proportion to their share of benefits
received. Usually,the type or amount of use on the property and the size of the lot will determine the
amount due. The resulting assessment will appear as part of the property owner's tax bill. These
special taxes occur over the course of several years, because homeowners are actually repaying bonds
sold by the city to finance the project. Since the life of a bond issue is an average of 15 to 20 years,
special assessments do not disappear quickly. Due to Proposition 218, however,California State law
now requires that property owners who would benefit from a public improvement — and thus pay for
it— approve the creation of the Assessment District. State law also allows for the formation of special
benefit districts.
• Special Benefit Dist icts: State law allows for the formation of a variety of special benefit
districts. �fhese disticts may be used to fund the construction of parks, libraries, police or
fire faities and street lighting systems,to name just a few. These districts are formed by
a vote of the property owners who are assessed for the cost of improvements. The
developer and or land owner bears the burden of debt service payments. City
icipation in a district of this type must be in proportion to the construction for which
th 'ty is responsible.
• ew evenue Bonds: The city may elect to issue revenue bonds to finance improvements
elated to utility functions or other city services that generate a fee for service. If the
public improvements are being installed ahead of the expected schedule to accommodate
the developer,the developer must offset many of the costs of issuing the revenue bonds.
• Certificates of Participation: Certain public facilities such as buildings can be financed
through certificates of participation. This is in effect a lease agreement between the city
and another agency. A developer wishing to move projects forward might consider
constructing facilities such as a library, park, or fire station using this finance tool.
27
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 192
■ General Obligation Bonds: The city can issue general obligation bonds to fund the
construction of public improvements. As required by state law, this can only be
accomplished with the approval of two-thirds of the voters in an election. General
obligation bonds can probably best be used in the older portions of the city. They provide
facility improvements in areas where there is no new development to provide facilities.
S. Intergovernmental Agreements
I&
Most intergovernmental agreements are made to upgrade services, consolidate resources and save
money. They can be made between or among a broad range of governmental or quasi-governmental
entities, such as a city and a county or a city and a school district. A typical intergovernmental
agreement might involve a contract between two small cities to share police, fire and paramedic
services. Intergovernmental agreements can improve services, save money through economies of
scale, and lead to a culture of inter-community cooperation in many areas 7
The city currently has an intergovernmental agreement with the city of San Diego for dispatching fire
services, the San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater District for sewer capacity, and San Diego County for
shared sewer lines in portions of the city of Chula Vista.
6. Development Review Process
Integration of the Growth Management Program into the development review process varies from
projects in the Planned Community(PC) zone and projects not in the PC zone. The approach for each
is explained below.
Development in PC Zon
The Growth Management Program's threshold standards are integrated into the city's development
review process of large-scale projects, or those in the Planned Community(PC) zone, in a three-tiered
manner, as shown on Table 4.
• Tier 1 involves preparation of a General Development Plan, which establishes the basic land
use and development policies. Initial environmental review is completed, which provides a
framework for subsequent environmental review and actions.
■ Tier 2 involves preparation of a detailed Sectional Planning Area Plan and a corresponding
Public Facilities Finance Plan, consistent with the requirements of the "Growth Management"
ordinance. The SPA and the PUP are the basis of land development standards and
infrastructure requirements, along with any related Development Agreement entitlements and
responsibilities.
• Tier 3 involves creating the Tentative Map and meeting key requirements, such as
establishment of financing mechanisms and assurances that threshold standards can be met as
development is actually occurring.

This approach has served the city well in managing expansion in eastern Chula Vista.
Development Outside of PC Zone
A different approach to regulation has been established to encourage and manage desirable
development and redevelopment in western Chula Vista,given the unique development challenges
faced in this area. This regulatory approach relies upon the preparation of city-sponsored specific
plans and corresponding PFFPs. The western Chula Vista regulatory framework accounts for the
smaller size of urban infill projects and the financial hurdles often facing infill and redevelopment
projects (e.g., parking, hazardous materials remediation, etc.) and the related need for public
investments.
7. Environmental Analysis
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review is conducted on all discretionary proposals
deemed to be "projects" under CEQA; some result in preparation of Environmental Impact Reports
(EIRs) or Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs). The process of analyzing a development project's
impact on public services, consistent with CEQA, involves determining compliance with "thresholds of
significance". Such thresholds may be actual GMP thresholds or a combination of GMP thresholds and
other requirements from the General Plan, MSCP, etc.
29
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 194
8. Development Agreement
A development agreement is a regulatory tool that can be used to provide, enhance or advance a
Capital Improvement Project. It is an elective contract between the city and a developer and specifies
the standards and conditions that will govern the development of the property and provide assurance
to the developer that they may proceed to develop the project subject to the rules and regulations in
effect at the time of approval—generally, the development will not be subject to subsequent changes
in regulations. For instance, a current agreement between the city and a developer stipulates that"If
city amends its 'Growth Management' ordinance, the amended 'Growth Management' ordinance shall
apply to the project upon master developer's written acceptance by a clarification pursuant to..., which
acceptance shall not constitute an amendment to this agreement. This provision shall not affect any
mitigation measures required of master developer under the environmental document certified for
the project."
The agreement should also benefit the city and may include conditions (mitigation measures)that
must be met to assure that a project at a specific location does not have unacceptable impacts on
neighboring properties or community infrastructure.The agreement may clarify how the project will
be phased, the required timing of public improvements, the developer's contribution toward funding
system-wide community improvements, and other conditions.The agreement can also facilitate
enforcement of requirements, since it is a contract that details the obligations of the developer and
the city.
9. Traffic Monitoring Program
The city's engineering department has various methods of monitoring level-of-service (LOS) (physically
driving or remote sensing) at key intersections and along corridors throughout the city on an annual
basis. An "Arterial Segments" map defines the location and length of roadways to be measured for
compliance, and each year findings are reported on arterial segment maps that show the LOS (A-F)for
three time periods of the day: AM Peak, Mid-Day Peak and PM Peak. The Growth Management
Oversight Commission reviews this information in determining whether or not traffic in the city is in
compliance with the traffic threshold standard.
10. Building Permit Moratorium
As provided in the city's "Growth Management" ordinance (section 19.09.070 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code), the city council has the ability to adopt an ordinance imposing a limit on building
permits for construction of residential and/or non-residential development after making one or more
of the following findings in regard to health, safety and welfare:
■ That continued development will make it unlikely for the intent of the Growth Management
Program to be achieved, as expressed by the"Growth Management" element of the General
Plan and this chapter.
30
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 195
• That continued development will cause deterioration of the city's quality of life,and
compromise the health, safety and welfare in the city of Chula Vista.
• That continued development will strain the city's fiscal resources and ability to deliver high
quality services to all of its residents.
Limits are imposed to avoid exacerbation of a problem until threshold compliance issue is remedied. If
the city council makes the necessary required findings to impose a limit on building permits, then it
shall adopt an ordinance that specifies: 1�^
■ Area where the moratorium applies;
■ Duration of the moratorium (when it begins and ends);
■ Any exemptions or exceptions or conditions. These shall be consistent with the overall
objectives of the city action and broader land use policy. Exemptions could include
"affordable" housing units (units sold or rented at below market rates to meet the city's
Housing Element requirements). Exceptions might include units that have been allocated as
part of a separate agreement (e.g., a development agreement);
■ Any conditions that would allow the moratorium to be lifted prematurely; and
■ How the building permits shall be allocated.
V. Administering the Growth Management Program
Administering Chula Vista's Growth Management Program is led by the city's Development Services
Department as a part of the overall development review process; however, administration is a joint effort by
other city departments, the Growth Management Oversight Commission, the planning commission and the
city council.
A. City Staff Responsibilitie kA
As illustrated in Figure 2, city staff activities include monitoring threshold standards, forecasting growth-
related impacts, reviewing and conditioning development projects, reviewing compliance with PFFPs, tracking
and monitoring development, and preparing the GMOC's annual report. The city attorney provides oversight
and assistance, and many departments contribute their technical expertise.
1. Tracking Development
City staff tracks development to monitor growth, track timely implementation of Public Facility
Financing Plans (PFFPS) phasing requirements and other SPA Plan or Tentative Map conditions relative
to maintaining compliance with threshold standards. Tables are updated monthly to show the number
of single-family and multi-family units at each stage of project implementation: SPA Plan,Tentative
Map, Final Map, Building Permit Issued and Occupancy.
31
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 196
2. Threshold Compliance Reports
Staff also tracks and prepares threshold compliance reports for Police and Fire response times, and
Traffic's level of service. Threshold compliance reports are also submitted by staff on an annual basis
for Air Quality, Drainage, Fiscal, Libraries, Parks and Recreation and Sewer.
3. GMOC Support
The Development Services Department currently provides administrative, technical and clerical staff
support for the GMOC. City staff tasks include, but are not limited to, the following:
• In the first quarter of each fiscal year, preparing a residential growth report containing a 5-year
development forecast, running from the first quarter of the fiscal year through December five
years later.
• Scheduling an annual organizational meeting of the GMOC for the purpose of electing a chair and
vice-chair, and setting the schedule for the current review cycle.
• Providing administrative and clerical support to the GMOC for its meetings, and in the preparation
of its annual report.
■ Advising the GMOC on technical and policy matters.
• Requesting information from city departments and outside agencies, as may be necessary, for the
GMOC to adequately perform its function.
• Providing responses to GMOC requests for information related to their evaluation of threshold
standard compliance and other related requests, as reasonable, and in a timely manner. This may
include attending one or more GMOC meetings, in addition to providing written information.
• Assisting the GMOC as it prepares its annual report, providing technical assistance and production.
• Scheduling a publicly noticed joint workshop with the GMOC, planning commission and city council
to present the annual report to the decision-making bodies for their consideration of findings and
recommendations included in the report and in a "Recommendation/ Implementing Actions
Summary." Any actions from the planning commission and city council are accomplished by
resolution. 2L 'IN
• After the planning commission and city council have acted on the GMOC's annual report, ensuring
that any policy changes directed by the city council are returned to the city council in the form of a
draft resolution initiating the recommended policy changes. The resolution and a related staff
report are intended to be a ready and thorough reference for the public, city staff, developers and
decision-makers documenting the changes needed are implemented.

CITY
CHULA V ISTA AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (AQIP) GUIDELINES
V
I. Introduction
Community and site design features and environmentally conscious building practices can have a substantial effect on air quality
emissions and energy consumption. In recognition of this,the City of Chula Vista has been progressive in its approach to advancing
the practices of energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.This is evident through the City's Growth
Management Ordinance (CVMC 19.09),Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan,Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) Implementation
Measures,and Green Building and Increased Energy Efficiency Ordinances (CVMC 15.12,and 15.26.030, respectively).These programs
promote energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by requiring applicants to implement the best available
community site design practices such as providing alternative modes of transportation,transit-friendly,walkable communities,and
sustainable building design.
The City's Growth Management Ordinance, requires an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) to be submitted with all Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plans or major development projects consisting of 50 dwelling units or greater(or non-residential or mixed use
projects with equivalent dwelling units (EDUs)to a residential project of 50 or more dwelling units).As required by Growth
Management Ordinance,the AQIP shall provide an analysis of air pollution impacts which would result from the project,and will be
required to demonstrate the best available design to reduce vehicle trips, maintain or improve traffic flow, reduce vehicle miles
traveled, including implementation of appropriate traffic control measures,and other means of reducing emissions (direct or indirect)
from the project.
To further enhance opportunities to improve air quality and energy conservation,applicable action measures contained in the City's
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan must also be addressed in the AQIP.The City's CO2 Reduction Plan was adopted in late 2000
and establishes a strategy for the City to reduce energy consumption, promote alternative transportation and design transit-friendly,
walkable communities.As part of the AQIP,applicants will be required to demonstrate how their project was designed to help
implement the action measures contained in this plan.
In addition,although not required for AQIPs,at the time a building permit application is submitted,the developer/applicant will be
required to comply with the provisions of the City's Green Building and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards,CVMC 15.12 and
15.26.030 respectively.These standards focus on implementing environmentally friendly construction practices and materials,and
improving building energy conservation above current California State Title 24 Energy Code requirements.The environmentally
conscious planning efforts developed in conjunction with the project's AQIP will facilitate compliance with CVMC 15.12 and
15.26.030 and expedite the building permit process.
Through the AQIP,applicants must demonstrate how their project has been designed consistent with each of these programs and
thus represents the best available design in terms of improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.These
guidelines have been developed to provide direction in the preparation of AQIPs.
II. City Requirements for AQIPs
A. Sectional Planning Area Plans,Tentative Maps,and Other Major Projects
In accordance with the City's Growth Management Ordinance (19.09),the developer/applicant shall prepare and submit an AQIP
with applications for all SPA Plans,Tentative Maps,or for any major development projects that meet the following criteria:
• Residential projects of 50 dwelling units or greater.
• Commercial projects of 12 or more acres (or equivalent square footage).
• Industrial projects of 24 or more acres (or equivalent square footage).
• Mixed Use projects with a cumulative threshold equal to that of 50 residential dwelling units or greater
(refer to Attachment A, Exhibit 1 for examples of AQIP equivalent dwelling unit determinations).
As described further below,the AQIP must include a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the proposed project to demonstrate
how the project has met the City's thresholds for reducing air quality impacts and improving energy conservation. Key components
of the AQIP will address:
• Air pollution impacts from project.
• Project efficiency through quantitative project evaluation.
• Community and site design features.
• Eligibility requirements to receive energy efficiency credit toward CVMC 15.26.030.

III.AQIP Format and Structure
As noted above,the key components of the AQIP must address:air pollution impacts of the proposed project, quantitative project
evaluation through modeling, community and site design features,and eligibility requirements receive energy efficiency credit.
Each of these key topic areas is further discussed below.
A. Summary of Air Pollution Impacts
The Applicant shall summarize the effect of the project's mobile and stationary emission sources on local and regional air quality.
It is expected that this section will focus on highlighting the findings contained in the air quality impact analysis prepared as part of
the project's respective Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This section of the AQIP must address the following:
" Federal,State,and Local rules and regulations related to assessing air quality impacts.
" Project's mobile and stationary emission sources and related criteria pollutants(including those associated with short-term
construction and long-term implementation).
" Effect of project emissions on local and regional air quality.
"A summary of CEQA Mitigation Measures that will be implemented to reduce the project's effect on air quality.
B.Quantitative Project Design Evaluation
The Applicant(s) shall perform a quantitative analysis through one of two computer-modeling options in order to demonstrate that
the project has met the City's required thresholds for community design considerations such as land use mix, street system
connectivity,and pedestrian network.The primary means to accomplish this is through an INDEX PlanBuilder(INDEX) model
developed specifically for the City (Option 1).As an alternative to the INDEX program, Developers/Applicants have the option to use
other modeling tools similar to INDEX provided that the results can be translated to clearly demonstrate compliance with the City's
established thresholds (Option 2).A summary of each of the two options is provided below.
(1)Option 1:INDEX PlanBuilder
INDEX is an interactive GIS-based planning tool designed to assist in community planning by evaluating proposed
community/site designs against a set of performance standards.Applicants choosing this option shall have their project
evaluated against a set of'Key Indicators'that measure the performance characteristics of the project in relation to required
minimum baseline scores.An INDEX program has been developed specifically to model major projects in Chula Vista
through a required set of Key Indicators focusing on air quality and energy efficiency. The Key Indicators that will be
measured through the INDEX model are presented in Table 1. Definitions for each of the Key Indicators and the minimum
scores for each are provided in Attachment A, Exhibit 2.

The Applicant is responsible for the costs of retaining the consultant to perform the INDEX modeling services and may
choose to either 1) enter into a three-party agreement with the City and the consultant providing the INDEX modeling
services or,2) contract directly with the consultant providing the INDEX modeling services.Additional details describing
the timing of the modeling efforts,and required format of project information the Applicant will need to provide in order
to run the INDEX model is provided in Attachment B.
(2)Option 2:Alternative Modeling Programs
As an alternative to the INDEX model,applicants may choose an alternative compliance program modeling software such
as LEED ND,Community Viz,or PLACHS,among possible others, provided that the results address the topics on the Key
Indicators List(Table 1),and can be translated to clearly demonstrate equivalent compliance with the minimum threshold
scores established through INDEX for each of the required Key Indicators. AQIPs prepared through alternative modeling
programs must summarize the modeling results in a format comparable to that generated through INDEX. Refer to
Attachment A,Section 11.7.5 for additional requirements pertaining modeling Option 2.
Applicants choosing to model their project through a program other than INDEX are responsible for the costs of retaining
a consultant to perform the necessary modeling services. Applicants may choose to either: 1) enter into a three-party
agreement with the City and the consultant providing the alternative modeling services or,2) contract directly with the
consultant providing the quantitative modeling services. If the applicant chooses to contract directly with the consultant,
the applicant will be required to submit a deposit to the City for third party peer review of the modeling outputs to ensure
consistency with the thresholds established through INDEX.
(3)Compliance with City Required Modeling Thresholds
In order to deem the proposed project consistent with the City's adopted strategies for improving air quality and energy
conservation,the project must demonstrate at or beyond the City's performance threshold scores for each key indicator as
shown in Table A-1 of Attachment A. If the initial modeling results indicate that the project does not satisfy the City's
minimum performance thresholds,the Developer/Applicant shall refine/redesign the project accordingly,and have it
reevaluated through the applicable model until consistency with the established performance thresholds has been achieved.
In the event that a project is unable to reasonably comply with all key indicator thresholds due to unique circumstances
involving project land use make up,design,and/or pre-existing environmental/land-use conditions,the Developer/Applicant
may request,in writing to the City's Development Services Director(or their designee),a waiver from those particular key
indicators.The written request must substantiate the reasons why the indicator thresholds cannot reasonably be met.The
discretion to waive performance requirements for certain key indicators from project evaluation rests exclusively with the
City's Development Services Director(or their designee).
C. Community Design/Site Planning Features
(1) Use of Smart Growth Principles
The AQIP shall provide a qualitative discussion describing the effect community design can have on air quality in terms of
site planning,transportation,and energy efficiency.The focus of this discussion is to elaborate the on the specific project
features that were used in conjunction with the quantitative modeling requirements.The discussion should be project
specific, referencing as appropriate,acreages, unit counts,distances,etc.A list of typical design features with general
definitions will not be acceptable.Applicants that incorporate smart growth design features targeted at reducing vehicle
miles traveled (VMT) are more likely to receive favorable scores during the initial quantitative modeling,thus reducing the
potential for additional modeling efforts. Some examples of commonly recognized principles of smart growth projects are
provided in Attachment A, Exhibit 3.
(2) Project Consistency with CO2 Reduction Plan
The AQIP shall provide a comparative evaluation of the project's community/site design and other features and how these
serve to implement the applicable action measures contained in the City's Carbon Dioxide(CO2) Reduction Plan. Details
regarding report content and format as well as a listing of the action measure to be evaluated are provided in
Attachment A,Section 11.7.7.

IV.Credit Option for Building Energy Efficiency Ordinance Requirements
The following discussion is intended for informational purposes only. Detailed provisions related to the calculation and application
of credits are currently under development and subject to subsequent review and approval of City Council.
As noted in the introduction, under the City's Energy Efficiency Ordinance (CVMC 15.26.030),all new buildings must exceed
minimum energy efficiency requirements under the State's current 2008 Title 24 Energy Code.This includes future buildings in
SPA Plan areas with AQIPs prepared pursuant to these AQIP Guidelines. In recognition that community design and other planning
considerations made at the SPA level contribute to overall energy savings in new development, new SPA Plan areas (those
approved subsequent to the adoption of Energy Efficiency Ordinance) may be granted a partial credit toward meeting the more
stringent building energy efficiency requirements under CVMC 15.26.030,if the SPA Plan conforms to a set of progressive
community/site design threshold standards evaluated as part of the AQIP.
If the results of the additional quantitative modeling do not meet the progressive set of qualifying thresholds,the applicant must
modify the project design in order to meet the qualifying scores, or the credit cannot be granted.Applicants that are successful in
demonstrating that their SPA Plan or project has met the qualifying energy savings thresholds will be eligible to receive the
energy savings credit at the time of building permit. Following the successful completion of the progressive modeling,the City's
Development Services Director(or their designee) shall issue a written communication to the applicant confirming that the project
is eligible to receive an energy savings credit towards compliance with CVMC 15.26.030.The applicant shall include this letter as
part of the building permit application at which time the credit can be applied as appropriate.

Commonly Recognized Principles and Practices of Smart Growth
EXAMPLES SMART GROWTH DESCRIPTIONS
Transit-oriented development(TOD) Encouraging transit travel by developing moderate-to high-density housing,shopping,and employment centers at
key access points along a regional transit system,with enhanced pedestrian access.
Transportation Options(Multi-model Streets) Design streets to create balance for all modes of transportation,including pedestrians,bicyclists,vehicles and public
transit
Mixed-use development Development that locates complementary land uses such as housing,retail,office,services,and public facilities
within walking distance of each other.This can include both vertical mixing(such as residential above shops)as
well as horizontal-
Pedestrian-oriented development. Providing a combination of land use and urban design elements that encourage and make people want to walk
thereby creating pedestrian oriented neighborhoods.
Developing concentrated activity centers Encouraging pedestrian and transit travel by creating"nodes"of high density mixed development,that can be more
easily linked by a transit network
Strengthening downtowns: Encouraging pedestrian and transit travel by making central business districts concentrated activity centers that can
be the focal point for a regional transit system
Sustainable Design Incorporate"Green Building"and/or energy efficiency techniques that can have a positive effect on building
sustainability and resource conservation-
Jobs/housing balance Reducing the disparity between the number of residences and the number of employment opportunities by directing
employment developments to areas with housing,and vice versa.
Landscape Design Incorporate landscaping in a manor that reduces heat islands and energy costs by providing shading and improves
air quality by reducing/filtering common air pollutants(i.e.carbon sequestering).
The smart growth strategies listed above are commonly recognized by organizations such as the Environmental
Protection Agency(EPA), Urban Land Institute(ULI), National Association of Home Builders (NAHB),San Diego
Association of Governments (SANDAG),and the Smart Growth Network. The Applicant may apply comparable
principles and techniques from alternative sources that are deemed acceptable by the City.Additional information,

INDEX Modeling Information and Administrative Procedures
Step 1:City Review of Project Submittal
Prior to initiating any quantitative modeling,the City shall review of the applicant's project submittal to ensure that the
project represents the best available design to improve air quality and energy efficiency consistent with the City's Growth
Management Ordinance,Municipal Code Section 19.09.050B,Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan,and Green Building and
Increased Energy Efficiency Ordinances (CVMC 15.12,and 15.26.030, respectively).The City's initial review will focus primarily
on community site design. Following the City's review,staff may suggest refinements to the proposal that may in turn result
in more favorable modeling results.
Step 2:Consultant Contracting
The applicant shall have their project modeled in conjunction with the City's second review of the SPA Plan.The Applicant is
responsible for the costs of retaining the consultant to perform the INDEX modeling services and may choose to either:
1) enter into a three-party agreement with the City and the consultant providing the INDEX modeling services or,2) contract
directly with the consultant providing the INDEX modeling services. If the applicant chooses to contact directly with the
consultant,then the applicant will be required to provide the City with cash deposit for third party independent review.
Step 3:Submittal of Documents
As part of the second draft SPA Plan review,the applicant must submit,to the City,the following project information in
GIS Shapefile:

Step 4:Verification of Required INDEX Input Attributes
Once the City has received electronic copies of all required project input attributes,the City will submit the project
documentation to the consultant providing the INDEX modeling.The consultant will then review the submittal to verify
that all required information has been provided and has been converted into a GIS format acceptable to run the INDEX
model. Only after the City has received confirmation from the INDEX modeling consultant that all necessary material has
been provided and is in the proper format,may the quantitative modeling may proceed.
Step 5:Quantitative Modeling
Based on the information submitted by the applicant,the consultant providing the INDEX modeling,will model the project
thorough a selection of twenty key indicators that will measure the project's attributes and performance characteristics
against the City's required minimum baseline scores. In order to deem the proposed project consistent with the City's
adopted strategies for improving air quality and energy conservation,the project must demonstrate improvements at or
beyond the City's performance threshold scores established for each of the key indicators.
If the initial modeling results indicate that the project does not satisfy the City's minimum performance thresholds,the
applicant shall refine/design the project accordingly,and have it reevaluated through the model until consistency with the
established performance thresholds has been achieved.
Step 6: Project Approval
Upon successful completion of the INDEX modeling,the consultant providing the INDEX Modeling services shall provide
written confirmation to the City's Director of Development Services that the project as proposed represents improvements
at or beyond the City's performance threshold scores established for each of the key indicators. In the event that a project
is unable to comply with all key indicator thresholds do to unique circumstances involving project design and/or
pre-existing environmental/land-use conditions,the Developer/Applicant may request,in writing to the City's Development
Services Director(or their designee),a waiver to exclude those key indicators that,in the applicant's opinion,are not
applicable to their project.The discretion to exclude certain key indicators from project evaluation rests exclusively with
the City's Development Services Director(or their designee).

WCP is required to be submitted with Tentative Subdivision Maps. The Growth Management Program further requires
that a Water Conservation Plan be submitted for major development projects, defined as residential projects consisting of
50 dwelling units or greater, or commercial and industrial projects with 50 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU's) of water
demand or greater. (See Part Six for an explanation of EDU's.)
The WCP shall provide an analysis of water usage requirements of the proposed project, as well as a detailed plan of
proposed measures for water conservation, use of reclaimed water, and other means of reducing per capita water
consumption from the proposed project, as well as defining a program to monitor compliance.
Part Two—Water Conservation Plan Outline
Water Conservation Plans shall be consistent with the format and content identified in the Water Conservation Plan
Outline, Attachment A.
Part Three— Residential Water Conservation Measures
All residential projects subject to the WCP requirements shall provide the following conservation measures in all dwelling
units as more particularly described in Attachment B:
a. Hot-Water Pipe Insulation.
b. Pressure Reducing Valves.
c. Water Efficient Dishwashers.
d. At least one outdoor water conservation measure from the Residential Water Conservation Measures list.
e. At least one additional water conservation measure from either the indoor or outdoor categories identified on the
Residential Water Conservation Measures list.
f. Water conservation measures not found on the Residential Water Conservation Measures list may be proposed
consistent with the provisions of Part Five below.
Part Four— Non-Residential Water Conservation Measures
All non-residential projects subject to the WCP requirements shall provide the following conservation measures as more
particularly described in Attachment C:
a. Hot-Water Pipe Insulation.
b. Pressure Reducing Valves.
c. At least one outdoor water conservation measure from the Non-Residential Water Conservation Measures list.
d. At least one additional water conservation measure from either the indoor or outdoor categories identified on the
Non-Residential Water Conservation Measures list.
e. Water conservation measures not found on the Non-Residential Water Conservation Measures list may be

Part Five— Future Water Conservation Technology and/or Measures
The Developer may submit a Water Conservation Plan containing alternate water conservation measures not found on
the Residential and Non-Residential Water Conservation Measures list. The alternate water conservation measures must
be accompanied by data confirming, to the satisfaction of the City, the water savings achieved by implementing the
measures.
The Director of Planning and Building or his/her designee will evaluate in his/her discretion the alternate water
conservation measures for consistency with the objectives of the Water Conservation Guidelines. Alternate water
conservation measures may be approved through the review and approval process for the Water Conservation Plan.
Part Six — Using Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU's) to Determine Water Conservation Plan
Requirements for Non-Residential and Mixed Use Projects.
The following water demand equivalencies apply to non-residential or mixed use projects:
a. Commercial projects of 12 or more acres.
b. Industrial projects of 24 or more acres.
c. Mixed Use projects with a cumulative estimated water demand of 21,200 gallons per day.
The average daily water consumption per household as estimated by the American Water Works Association Research
Foundation is 424 gallons per day (gpd). Major development projects are defined as projects that use the equivalent
water demand for 50 residences, or 21,200 gallons per day.
Using an estimated water demand factor of 1785 gallons per day per acre for commercial land, and an estimated water
demand factor of 893 gallons per day per acre for industrial land, a commercial site of 12 acres and greater and an
industrial site of 24 acres and greater would be required to prepare WCP's.
For projects with more than one use, the threshold for requiring a Water Conservation Plan would be a cumulative
estimated project water demand of 21,200 gallons per day, based on these factors as approved by the City.
Infill or redevelopment projects that provide information, to the satisfaction of the City, indicating the net water demand
increase resulting from the proposed land use does not exceed 21,200 gallons per day will not be required to prepare a
Water Conservation Plan.

Residential Water Conservation Measures
Attachment B
All residential units subject to the Water Conservation Plan requirements shall contain the following
three indoor water conservation measures:
Savings & Costs data are estimates based on the Water Use Efficiency, Strategies for Proposed Residential
Developments, April 2002 report and are provided for information only.
1. Hot Water Pipe Insulation
Insulation of hot-water pipes, and separation of hot and cold water piping to avoid heat exchange.
Savings & Costs
Water savings - 2,400 gallons per residential unit per year. Estimated cost of insulating hot water pipes during
construction -$50.00.
2. Pressure Reducing Valves
Pressure reducing valves maintain the pressure below 60 psi reducing the volume of any leakage present and
preventing excessive flow of water from all appliances and fixtures.
Savings & Costs
Water savings - 1,800 gallons per unit per year. Estimated cost of pressure reducing valves -$100.00.
3. Water-Efficient Dishwashers
Dishwashers with water saving features such as water level sensors instead of timed fillers. The website
<www.energystar.goy/products/dishwashers/> may be consulted for a current list of Energy Star label
dishwashers.
Savings & Costs
Water savings—650 gallons per unit per year. Estimated cost of water efficient dishwashers $300.00 to$700.00.
All residential units subject to the Water Conservation Plan requirements shall contain at least one
outdoor water conservation measure and at least one additional water conservation measure from
either the indoor or outdoor categories.
Outdoor Water Conservation Measures
1. Evapotranspiration (ET) Controllers
Timed, fixed irrigation scheduling based on estimates of actual plant evapotranspiration rates. Radio signal from
a central control station or satellite transmits information to the controllers to operate the sprinklers for the
appropriate length of time.
Savings & Costs
Water savings —20,000 gallons per single-family unit per year. The cost is estimated to be $175.00 per installed
controller and may require a signal and maintenance fee, estimated to be$48.00 per year.

Attachment B - Page 2
Outdoor Water Conservation Measures (cont.)
2. Water-Efficient Landscaping
Use of drought tolerant plant materials, irrigation systems, and controllers as required by the Chula Vista
Landscape Manual. In addition, the use of drip irrigation where possible and restriction of sprinkler irrigation as
recommended by the water purveyors.
Savings & Costs
Water savings — Up to 50% of outdoor water use. For a 2,100 sq. ft. landscaped area a water savings of 12,000
gallons per year is estimated. The cost of water efficient landscaping is no different than conventional
landscaping, possibly lower.
3. Xeriscape
Xeriscaping is a combination of seven principles, planning and design, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, soil
analysis and improvement, mulching, low water use plants and appropriate maintenance.
Savings & Costs
Water savings—30% reduction in irrigation demand or about 16,000 gallons per year on a typical single-family lot.
The cost of xeriscape does not exceed conventional landscape.
4. Soil Moisture Sensors
Soil moisture sensors placed at two or more depths and at several locations in the landscape to help determine
when the soil is dry enough to require irrigation.
Savings & Costs
Alone, soil moisture sensors do not achieve water savings. However, in combination with other systems they are
important tools for water savings. The cost of each sensor is approximately$235.00 and it is estimated that one
or two soil moisture sensors are sufficient for a typical single-family lot (sunny and shady areas of landscape).
Indoor Water Conservation Measures
1. Dual Flush Toilets
Provides option to flush with partial (0.8 gallon)flow of water or with a full (1.6 gallon)flow depending on need.
Savings & Costs
It is estimated that a dual-flush toilet can save 4,000 gallons per year. Estimated cost of dual flush toilet -
$200.00.
2. High-efficiency Washing Machines
Front loading and top loading Energy Star qualified clothes washers that use 35% to 50% less water than
conventional washing machines. A current list of Energy Star high efficiency clothes washers can be found at
<www.enerqVstar.gov/products/clotheswashers/>.
Savings & Costs
Water savings—7,000 gallons per year. Estimated cost of high-efficiency washing machine$800.00.
3. Point-of-Use, or Tank-less Water Heater
Installation of small water heaters close to the point of use, such as in bathrooms, kitchen and laundry area.
Savings & Costs
Water savings - 5,300 gallons per residential unit, per year. Estimated cost of point-of-use water heaters -
$700.00. (The cost is approximately the same whether one large household unit is installed or three smaller ones
at each point of use.)
Optional Water Conservation Measures
• Education Program including educational materials and guidance to new homeowners.
• Submeter all individual tenants in multi-family projects.
• Install waterless urinals in intensively used settings such as recreation areas and school sites.

APPENDIX C — PUP Requirements
Public Facility Finance Plans (PFFP) Requirements
A Public Facility Finance Plan (PFFP) is a document that details infrastructure requirements for particular
projects, and how the improvements will be funded. The Chula Vista Municipal Code (19.09.080)
requires Public Facilities Finance Plans (PFFPs) for Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plans and Tentative
Maps; they are also be required for development proposals of 50 dwelling units or more, and
commercial or industrial projects with 50 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) or greater.
I. Initiation and Preparation
Typically, PFFPs have been prepared early in the development review process, at the time a SPA plan is
prepared; or, if no SPA is involved, as a part of the Tentative Map application. In some instances, the
city may choose to incorporate the PFFP into other documents that meet the basic policy and technical
requirements of a PFFP. For example, a PFFP could be incorporated into a Specific Plan or an area-
specific financing plan sponsored by the city.
In some instances, the city will sponsor preparation of a PFFP; for example, when the geographic
coverage involved encompasses a large area with multiple landowners and no single development
project. The procedures for such city-sponsored PFFPs will be similar to developer-sponsored PFFPs.
Adoption of a PFFP does not establish any entitlement or right to any particular General Plan or zoning
designation, or any particular development proposal.
A PFFP may be initiated by filing an application with the Director of Development Services. The
applicant shall pay a deposit at the time any application for a PFFP is accepted, and the PFFP shall be
prepared by the city, or a consultant selected by the city (which is typical), according to the procedures
established. In some instances, developer cooperation in the preparation of PFFPs (e.g., infrastructure
design and cost estimating) is acceptable. In the case of a city-prepared PFFP, the city may recover the
cost of PFFP preparation by adding the cost to the impact fees (or other financing mechanisms) created
to fund the required public facility improvements.
II. Content
PFFP content requirements are outlined below.
A. A PFFP shall include a complete description of the proposed development project and a
complete description of all public facilities included within the boundaries of the plan, as
defined by the Development Services Director. It shall also include a description of the
individual and cumulative impacts of the proposed development on the community as it relates
to the Growth Management Program, the specific facility master plans and the threshold
standards.
B. The PFFP shall consist of maps, graphs, tables, and narrative text and shall be based upon the
General Plan and zoning applicable within the area of impact. It shall be consistent with the
Growth Management Program and threshold standards and shall implement the Growth
Management Program within the area.
1
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 220
APPENDIX C — PUP Requirements
C. The boundaries of the PUP shall be established by the city at the time a SPA plan or Tentative
Map is submitted by the applicant. The boundaries shall be based upon the impact created by
the project on existing and future need for facilities. The project boundaries will correlate the
proposed development project with existing and future development proposed for the area of
impact to provide for the economically efficient and timely installation of both on-site and off-
site facilities and improvements required by the development. In establishing the boundaries
for the PFFP, the city shall be guided by the following considerations:
1. Service areas or drainage or sewer basins that serve the project;
2. Extent to which facilities or improvements are in place or available;
3. Ownership of property;
4. Project impact on public facilities relationships, especially the impact on the city's
planned major circulation network;
5. Special district service territories; and
6. Approved fire, drainage, sewer, or other facilities or improvement master plans.
D. The boundaries shall be established by resolution after a public hearing, notice of which is given
pursuant to CVMC 19.12.070.
E. The PUP shall show how and when the facilities and services necessary to accommodate
development within the area will be installed or financed:
1. Police;
2. Fire/Emergency Medical Services;
3. Schools;
4. Libraries;
5. Parks and Recreation;
6. Water;
7. Sewer;
8. Drainage; and
9.Traffic;
F. The PUP shall include the following information with regard to each facility and service listed in
Section E, above:
2
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 221
APPENDIX C — PUP Requirements
1. List of Facilities and Services. A list or schedule of facilities and service requirements
correlated to individual development projects within the area.
2. Inventory. An inventory of present and future requirements for each facility and service
based upon the threshold standards. The inventory shall include life cycle cost (LCC)
projections for each element in Section E, above, as they pertain to city fiscal responsibility.
The LCC projections shall be for estimated life cycle for each element analyzed. The model
used shall be able to identify and estimate initial and recurring life cycle costs for the above
elements. Because requirements for certain facilities and services may overlap plan
boundaries, the plan shall address the need for coordination and shall propose a
coordination plan for facilities and services extending from one project boundary area to
another. Cost estimates for funding public facilities and services directly related to the
impact created by the project as well as for proposals for funding existing deficiencies
required by the project prior to the phasing schedule set forth in the Growth Management
Program shall be included. It must be shown that development in the area will not reduce
the existing facilities or services capabilities within the project boundaries or create facilities
or improvements shortages in other areas or reduce capability in any area below the
threshold standards, which are established pursuant to CVMC 19.09.040-050. The growth
inducing impact of the out-of-area improvements shall be assessed and mitigation provided,
if appropriate, to the satisfaction of the city council.
3. Phasing Schedule. A phasing schedule that complies with the adopted development phasing
policy as set forth in the Growth Management Program and the threshold standards, which
establishes the timing for installation or provision for facilities and services required by the
project. The phasing schedule shall ensure that development of one area will not utilize
more than the area's pro rata share of facility or service capacity within the projected
service area of a facility unless sufficient capacity is ensured for other areas at the time of
development.The phasing schedule shall include a schedule of development within the area
and a cash flow analysis for financing of facilities and services for the PUP area. The
phasing schedule shall identify periods where the demand for facilities and improvements
may exceed the capacity and provide a plan for eliminating the shortfall. If a project cannot
demonstrate consistency with the phasing schedule, the PUP must demonstrate, to the
city's satisfaction, how facilities required for the project in advance of the phasing schedule
as set forth in the master plan will be provided. If no facility master plan or threshold
standard exists for a particular facility, the PUP for the project must demonstrate how that
facility will be provided and financed in a phased and timely manner.
4. Financing Plan. A financing plan establishing specific methods of funding each facility and
service identified in the PFFP, which allocates the cost to the various properties within the
plan area. The plan shall identify those facilities and services that would otherwise be
provided as a requirement of processing a development project (i.e., requirements imposed
as a condition of a development permit) or provided by the developer in order to establish
consistency with the General Plan, Growth Management Program or facility master plans,
and those facilities and improvements for which new funding methods shall be sufficient to
ensure that funds are available to construct or provide facilities or services when required
by the phasing schedule for the project. Where facilities or services are required for
property within the PUP area, other than the project, the phasing plan shall identify those
3
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 222
APPENDIX C — PUP Requirements
other properties and the PUP for each property shall be coordinated. Coordination,
however, shall not require identical funding methods.
G. The PUP shall establish the proportionate share of the cost of facilities and services identified in
the Growth Management Program and the facility master plans attributable to the development
of each property in the PUP area.
H. In the event that an applicant provides private financing for public facilities or services to service
a project in advance of the normal time frame for constructing such facilities, the approval of
credits against any city fees for such advanced private financing may be postponed until the
estimated time of such construction as specified in the specific facility master plan or the city's
capital improvement program budget. In lieu of a facility master plan phasing schedule, such
determination shall be made by the city council after reviewing information from the
Development Services Director, City Engineer, Finance Director, and Deputy City Manager. In no
event shall a developer receive interest on funds for providing public facilities or services in
advance of the city's schedule. The developer shall also become responsible for the
maintenance and operation costs associated with the early construction of said facility. No
repayment will be made to the developer for the funds provided for maintenance and
operational costs. All repayments will be considered in accordance with the city's projected
construction dates for said facilities.
I. Assessment districts requested by the developer shall not be given credit for facility fees when a
facility is constructed above the standards established by the respective facility master plan or
standards imposed as conditions on the approval of the project by the city council.
J. A fiscal analysis/economic impact report shall be provided identifying capital budget impacts on
the city as well as maintenance and operation costs for each proposed phase of development.
The report shall include an analysis of the project impact on school districts and water agencies
as well as the life cycle analysis set forth in Section F.2, above. Each year during the
development of the project, the Development Services Director may require the applicant to
provide the city with an updated fiscal impact report reflecting the actual revenue and
expenditure impacts based upon the development of the project. The project shall be
conditioned to provide funding for periods where expenditures exceed projected revenues.
K. Developer contributions shall not be required as a source of funding for that proportion of the
cost of any facility or service that is needed to reach threshold standards due to the demands
created by existing development. (Ord. 2790, 1999; Ord. 2448 § 2, 1991).
III. Public Facilities Finance Plan Amendment
The City Council may initiate an amendment to any PUP at any time if, in its discretion, it
determines that an amendment is necessary to provide adequate facilities and improvements,
and subsequent permits will be conditioned on conformance. An applicant can also initiate an
amendment to a PUP that was originally adopted for their project, following the same
procedures as those for establishing a new PFFP.

A. Purpose/Intent
The purpose and intent of this chapter is to: 1) Implement the policy framework established by Chula Vista's
General Plan for Chula Vista's Growth Management Program; 2)Codify threshold standards designed to
assure that, as new development occurs, public facilities, infrastructure and services will exist, or concurrently
be provided, to meet the demands generated by new development, and service levels to existing residents will
not be reduced; and 3) Establish administration and compliance mechanisms.

2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 250
ATTACHMENT 3 —Accepted Edits Version
B. Policies
It is the policy of the city of Chula Vista to:
1. Provide that public facilities, infrastructure and services meet the threshold standards set forth in this
chapter, and are provided in advance of, or concurrent with, the demands created by new development;
2. Assure that individual development projects measure potential impacts upon public facilities, infrastructure
and services, and provide a plan for funding improvements needed to meet the threshold standards set
forth in this chapter;
3. Provide quality housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community;
4. Provide a balanced community with adequate commercial, industrial, recreational and open space areas to
support the residential areas of the city; N J
5. Balance the regional housing needs against the public service needs of Chula Vista residents and
available fiscal resources, environmental constraints, and quality of life considerations;
6. Provide that all development is consistent with the Chula Vista general plan;
7. Limit or prevent additional development if public facilities, infrastructure and services meeting the threshold
standards set forth in this chapter are not provided in a timely, phased and logical manner, as required by
the General Plan; X 'NW
8. Control the timing and location of development by tying the pace of development to the provision that
public facilities, infrastructure and services conform to the city's threshold standards, and to meet the goals
and objectives of the Growth Management Program;
9. Promote orderly revitalization and redevelopment of older portions of the city, including the Urban Core and
the commercial corridors;
10. Provide that the air quality of the city of Chula Vista is maintained consistent with applicable standards;
11. Require development to conserve water so that an adequate supply is maintained to serve the needs of
current and future residents.
2
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 251
ATTACHMENT 3 —Accepted Edits Version
C. Findings. The city council of the city of Chula Vista hereby finds:
1. New development creates incremental demands for public facilities, infrastructure and services provided by
the city and other public agencies serving the area;
2. New development demand for public facilities, infrastructure and services, if not concurrently met with
expansion of public facilities, infrastructure and services,would result in facility and service shortages,
including, but not limited to, streets, schools, libraries and general governmental facilities. These
shortages would be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Chula Vista;
3. The city has adopted and regularly updates facility master plans to ensure adequate infrastructure and
services will be available to support the build-out demands of the adopted General Plan.
4. Since 1991, the city has maintained a growth management ordinance to achieve the"Purpose"outlined in
"A", above, and has adopted a variety of related fee and funding programs to ensure that public
improvements keep pace with growth.
5. Chula Vista's adopted General Plan includes provisions requiring facilities and services in advance of, or
concurrent with, growth.
6. Prohibiting or limiting development unless adequate public facilities, infrastructure and services are
available in advance of, or concurrent with, development is consistent with the city's policy to provide
housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community, because sufficient opportunities for
new housing continue to exist within the city, and this chapter does not affect the number of houses which
may be built. In addition, development of housing for low-and moderate-income persons and families
would most likely occur in areas of the city that are designated for highest development priority.
7. Adoption of this chapter will not adversely affect the regional welfare. By providing that adequate and safe
public facilities, infrastructure and services will exist to serve all of the development in Chula Vista, and
because many of these facilities and improvements are used by persons residing in neighboring areas and
cities, the public health, safety and welfare of the whole region is enhanced.
8. This chapter will further the policies set forth above by: a) requiring identification for all public facilities,
infrastructure and services required as a result of development; b) prohibiting or limiting development until
adequate provisions for the public facilities infrastructure and services are made within the city, as herein
3
2015-01-13 Agenda Packet Page 252
ATTACHMENT 3 —Accepted Edits Version
provided; and c)giving development priority to areas of the city where public facilities, infrastructure and
services are already in place. (Ord. 2448 §2, 1991)
9. The city has influence upon, but not control of, the actions of other public agencies involved in providing
services to the residents of Chula Vista, including school districts and water service purveyors.
