RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AUTHORIZING THE FIRE CHIEF OR HIS DESIGNEE TO SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA TO THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY AND EXECUTE ALL RELATED DOCUMENTATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS GRANT APPLICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution. SUMMARY The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) provides funding assistance to state and local political subdivisions of the state on a competitive basis with the goal of improving traffic safety. The Fire Department has evaluated its auto extrication equipment and determined that extrication equipment in the Urban Search & Rescue (US&R) apparatus and truck companies is nearing the end of its useful lifespan and in need of replacement. 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 Fire Department has determined that in order to keep up with the needs of a growing city and the extrication challenges that newer model vehicles present, it must replace the existing extrication equipment on the US&R and truck apparatus, as well as upgrade rescue capabilities. Extrication equipment is used by first responders to extricate victims in traffic collisions. Updating this equipment will not only benefit the City of Chula Vista, but via the automatic aid agreement with five neighboring cities, first responders will be able to deliver better service to those communities when called for service. To accomplish this goal, department staff is requesting approval to submit an OTS grant application to purchase new and upgraded extrication equipment for the Urban Search & Rescue apparatus and truck companies. 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 Operational Excellence and Healthy Community. Updating extrication equipment will allow the Fire Department to provide improved service to the community. The new equipment will assist with rescues; improve firefighter safety, and overall operational efficiency.

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 AMENDING THE AUTHORIZED POSITION COUNT IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO REFLECT THE ADDITION OF 2.0 FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC POSITIONS AND THE ELIMINATION OF 2.0 FIREFIGHTER POSITIONS RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution. SUMMARY The Fire Department is in the process of implementing an Advanced Life Support (ALS) program that deploys City paramedics as first responders. This resolution would amend the authorized position count in the Fire Department to reflect the addition of 2.0 Firefighter/Paramedic positions and the elimination of 2.0 Firefighter positions which would allow for the Fire Department to hire qualified personnel with the required knowledge, skills, abilities and certifications to perform advanced life support duties. 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 is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it is a personnel related action; 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 For the past two years, the Fire Department has been working to implement an Advanced Life Support (ALS) program that deploys City paramedics as first responders. In Fiscal Year 2012-2013, the City Council authorized funding for the First Responder Advanced Life Support (FRALS) program and approved a resolution to approve a memorandum of understanding between the City and IAFF Local 2180 regarding the ALS program. The Fire Chief subsequently brought forward to the City Council an agenda statement that noted that in order to allow for training and/or hiring more paramedics, full implementation of the FRALS program would be phased in over five years. At their August 1 , 2013 Public Safety Workshop, the City Council directed the Fire Chief to explore options necessary to expedite implementation of the FRALS program. In November 2013, the Fire Chief requested budget appropriations to fund costs associated with providing paramedic training on an accelerated schedule. In March 2014, the City Council approved the creation of a new classification of City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 16 File#: 14-0732, Item#: 4. Firefighter/Paramedic so that the Fire Department, in conjunction with the Human Resources Department, could recruit for and hire qualified personnel with the required knowledge, skills, abilities and certifications to perform advanced life support duties. Firefighter/Paramedics serve a dual role. In addition to performing duties and responsibilities of a Firefighter, the incumbents in the Firefighter/Paramedic classification render emergency medical aid as a Paramedic examining and assessing victims, communicate vital medical data to medical and/or fire personnel and administer medical treatment within established guidelines and/or at the specific instruction of base hospital medical personnel; perform primary and secondary medical physical assessments of patients; perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation; administer advanced life support drug therapy within established guidelines and/or at the specific instruction of base hospital medical personnel; operate heart monitoring and defibrillation equipment; communicate medical information to base hospital medical personnel or other fire personnel; serve as a preceptor for paramedic and emergency medical technician trainees; and perform other duties as assigned. The Fire Department is requesting to amend the authorized position count in the Fiscal Year 2014- 2015 budget to reflect the addition of 2.0 Firefighter/Paramedic positions and the elimination of 2.0 vacant Firefighter positions. This would allow the Department to recruit for and hire qualified personnel with the required knowledge, skills, abilities and certifications to perform advanced life support duties. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has determined that the action contemplated by this item is ministerial, secretarial, manual, or clerical in nature and, as such, does not require the City Council members to make or participate in making a governmental decision, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.4 (a). Consequently, this item does not present a conflict under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). 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 addition of 2.0 Firefighter/Paramedic positions and elimination of 2.0 vacant Firefighter positions supports the City-wide strategic goals of Operational Excellence and Strong and Secure Neighborhoods as it allows for the City to hire qualified personnel with the required knowledge, skills, abilities and certifications to perform advanced life support duties to augment current Fire Department staff. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the resolution will result in the addition of 2.0 Firefighter/Paramedic positions and the elimination of 2.0 Firefighter positions. There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of this action. The salary for the classification of Firefighter/Paramedic is equal to the current amount paid to Firefighter plus Paramedic specialty pay. The specialty pay is reimbursed through the contract with AMR, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.

SUMMARY The Police Department has 246 ballistic helmet replacements scheduled in the current fiscal year. Because of this high volume, a Request for Bid was posted, and the Department recommends to award a purchase order to San Diego Police Equipment Company for Paraclete ballistic helmets. 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 In anticipation of 246 ballistic helmet replacements scheduled in the current fiscal year, the Police Department coordinated with the Purchasing Division to post City of Chula Vista Bid # B01-14/15 on Planet Bids on November 5, 2014. The Request for Bid (RFB) included 225 full cut tactical helmets for Patrol and 21 high cut tactical helmets for SWAT. 78 vendors were notified via Planet Bids. 15 prospective vendors downloaded the bid and the following three vendors submitted bids before the bid deadline: Ve Quantity Item Unit Extended Shipping Sales Tax Subtotal Total nd Description Price ost Amount or City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 20 File#: 14-0740, Item#: 5.

Although the bid was lower for Adamson Police Products, their bid was considered non-responsive because their bid was not for Paraclete tactical helmet as specified in the Request for Bid. To receive comparable bids, no substitute helmet models were being considered. The Police Department is requesting to award a purchase order to San Diego Police Equipment Company for the purchase of 246 Paraclete tactical helmets as a result of their submittal to City of Chula Vista Bid # B01-14/15. The bid price is valid through March 15, 2015. 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 City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 3 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 21 File#: 14-0740, Item#: 5. The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The bid award for ballistic helmets supports the goal of Strong and Secure Neighborhoods by equipping law enforcement personnel with necessary resources to provide a safe community. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution will result in awarding a purchase order to San Diego Police Equipment Company in the amount of $90,180 for Paraclete tactical helmets. The cost of the helmets is included in the TUT Common Fund fiscal year 2015 budget; there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Because the ballistic helmets have a 5-year factory warranty, the helmets will need to be replaced in 5 years. At that time, the Police Department will request funding during the budget process for the replacement of the equipment.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE PARK MASTER PLAN FOR THE 7.55-ACRE P-3 PUBLIC NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, LOCATED IN OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 2, AND THE NAME, "MONTECITO PARK" RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution. SUMMARY This report presents the Park Master Plan for Montecito Park (Park P-3, in Otay Ranch, Village 2). 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 proposed project was adequately covered in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report FSEIR 12-01 . Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is required. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the Landscape Master Plan for the P-3 park on March 20th, 2014 and the park name (Montecito Park) on November 20th, 2014. DISCUSSION Background This park site is located in Village 2, at the northwest intersection of Santa Victoria Road and Santa Diana Road, adjacent to the future Montecito swim club. The City entered into an agreement with the Master Developer, Baldwin and Sons, on November 17, 2014 regarding the construction of parks P-1 , P-2, P-3, P-5 and P-6 in Village 2. The agreement will enable these neighborhood parks to be delivered by the developer as "turnkey parks" in lieu of paying park development fees, in accordance with the Park Land Development Ordinance, Chapter 17.10 of the Municipal Code. Upon approval of the Park Master Plan by the City Council, Baldwin and Sons will commence the construction design. Baldwin and Sons estimate that they can commence construction within 5 months after receiving City approvals and complete construction within 6 months following commencement. City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 24 File#: 14-0680, Item#: 6. Park P-3 Program The program elements for this park are described in the originally approved SPA plan for Village 2, 3 and a portion of Village 4. The draft master plan for the park includes the following elements: ■ Restroom building. ■ Children's play area with separate equipment for 2-5 yr olds and 5-12 yr olds. ■ Enclosed dog run areas for large and small dogs. ■ Shade structures with picnic table and seating. ■ Open lawn areas for flexible use. ■ Tennis court. ■ Basketball court ■ Decorative, low water use shrub and ground cover planting. ■ Palm trees, shade trees and flowering trees. ■ Lighting for walkways using a variety of low energy use light fixtures. ■ On street parking only - a concept anticipated in the SPA plan. There is limited diagonal on street parking on Santa Diana Road. The Parks and Recreation Commission motion to approve the park included the following language in addition to approving the landscape master plan, "and subject to budget, include a dumpster and flip the tennis courts and basketball courts around." The court locations recommended by the Parks and Recreation commission are reflected in the current park layout (Attachment 3). Phasing Baldwin and Sons anticipates providing 6 acres of the park in the initial phase followed shortly thereafter with the remaining 1 .55 acres once grading operations are completed on the western perimeter of the site. 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, 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. The Park P-3 will address strategic goals 2.1 .3 (quality Master Plan Communities) and 3.1 (Healthy Community) by providing increased recreational opportunities for residents in eastern Chula Vista. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There will be no current year fiscal impact to the general fund. This project is currently anticipated to be completed by February 2017. City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 3 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 25 File#: 14-0680, Item#: 6. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There will be no capital cost to the City for the creation of this park. However, the park will be maintained by the City. Public Works estimates that a typical neighborhood park's maintenance will cost approximately $12,500 acre per year to maintain. The annual estimated cost to maintain the P3 Park will be approximately $94,000 per year. Based on upon a completion date of February 2017, the City will begin incurring maintenance costs for this park in fiscal year 2016/2017. Approval of the maintenance costs will be considered as part of the normal budget process.

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 (Continued from January 13, 2015) 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 conduct the public hearing, place the ordinance on first reading and adopt the resolution. 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 City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 34 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. within Western Chula Vista (Urban Core) versus the suburban development focus of the 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). DISCUSSION Overview of Main Aspects of Revised Growth Management Documents City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 35 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. 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 City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 36 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. maps. • 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 City of Chula Vista Page 4 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 37 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. The current threshold standard requires properly equipped and staffed police units to respond to 81 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 City of Chula Vista Page 5 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 38 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. 4. Mixed use projects of 50 equivalent dwelling units or greater. 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 City of Chula Vista Page 6 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 39 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. traffic in favor of promoting pedestrian activity, bicycles and transit. 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. City of Chula Vista Page 7 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 40 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. Libraries 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 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 41 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. 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 1/22/2015 powered by Leg 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 42 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. 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 of Chula Vista Page 10 of 11 Printed on 1/22/2015 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 43 File#: 14-0625, Item#: 7. City budget adoption process. General Fund support for these efforts will continue to be offset by 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. ATTACHMENTS 1 .

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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 49 ■ 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 50 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. 7 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 51 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 52 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 53 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 56 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 57 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 58 • 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 59 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 60 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. . , TABLE 2— SUMMARY OF THRESHOLD STANDARDS Application/Timing Implementation Measures Topic Project Level Annual City- "Statement of Plan of Action Public Hearing Conformance wide Concern"to Considering Review by Conformance Council Timing Moratorium to Staff Review by Benchmarks Achieve GMOC Finance Plan Conformance Fire/EMS X X X Police X X X Traffi X X X X Parks/ X X X X Recreation Drainage X X X X Libraries X X X Air Quality X X Fiscal X' X X 17 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 61 Application/Timing Implementation Measures Schools X2 X X Sewer X X X Water X X X 'Fiscal Impact Analyses required for SPA Plans,or projects of 50 units or more,or equivalent for non-residential projects. 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 62 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 63 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 64 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 65 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. , TABLE 3—GROWTH MANAGEMENT-RELATED REGULATORY PROGRAMS Growth Management-Related Function Status Regulatory Programs 1.Growth Management Monitors and guides the Growth Established pursuant to the 1987 Oversight Commission Management Program,prepares Threshold Standards and GMOC annual report on threshold standards Policy,and updated in Chapter compliance. 2.40 of the Chula Vista Municipal Nk 'N Code adopted by city council in 1991 and amended in 2011. 2.Development Impact Fees(DIF) Provide financing for development- Originally adopted in 1986 for and other Funding Mechanisms related infrastructure improvements.

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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 67 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 68 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 69 • 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 70 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 71 ■ 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. 28 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 72 TABLE 4—THREE-TIERED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 General Development Sectional Planning Tentative Map Plan and Area Plan and Public Environmental Analysis Facilities Finance Plan Threshold Tests feasibility of project Demonstrates Project must guarantee Standards and at build-out per consistency of each conformance to CEQA Review threshold standards and phase with threshold threshold standard prior analyzes environmental standards to building impacts Public Facilities Allocates project share of Locates and describes Construction of public Requirements public facilities at build- public facilities needed facilities guaranteed out for each phase Financing of Identifies financing Identifies cost,financial Specific financing Facilities options responsibility,and mechanisms established proposed financing method for each public facility 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 73 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 74 • 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 75 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. 32 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 76 FIGURE 2— IMPLEMENTING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES City Staff Activities Monitoring threshold standards Monitor Review and growth and condition PFFPs development L Projects Planning Commission & City Council Review and Actions 14 01 ago GMOC Review and Recommendations B.

Planning Commission and City Council Responsibilities The planning commission shall annually appoint a member from the planning commission to serve as a GMOC commissioner. The GMOC's Annual Report shall be submitted to both the planning commission and the city council to discuss findings and recommendations, and to request, by resolution, acceptance of the report at a joint workshop/public hearing, to be held before adoption of the budget each year. The planning commission may comment on the findings and recommendations and shall, by resolution, make a recommendation to the city council, who shall take action. Both the planning commission and the city commission are also responsible for reviewing documents and programs associated with development including, but not limited to: SPA Plans, PFFPs, EIRs, Financial Impact Analyses and Development Impact Fees. 33 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 77 I ��/� D e v e l o p m e n t S e r v i c e s D e p a r t m e n t /Tr Planning Division I Development Processing 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. TABLE 1: List of INDEX Key Indicators INDEX Key Indicators _ Land-Use Use Mix ■ Intersection Density • Land-Use Use Balance ■ Pedestrian Network Coverage • Neighborhood Completeness ■ Residential Multi-Modal Access • School Proximity to Housing ■ Residential Building Energy Use •Transit Proximity to Housing ■ Non-Residential Building Energy Use • Park Proximity to Housing ■ Residential Building CO2 Emissions • Internal Street Connectivity ■ Non-Residential Building CO2 Emissions ■Transit Proximity to Employment ■ Daily Auto Driving (Density,Diversity,and Design) 1.VMT:Vehicle Miles Traveled AQIP Rev 08.11 2015-01-27 AgendaPacke176 Fourth Avenue I Chula Vista I California 1 91910 1 (619) 691.5101 I ��/� D e v e l o p m e n t S e r v i c e s D e p a r t m e n t /Tr Planning Division I Development Processing CITY CHULA V ISTA AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (AQIP) GUIDELINES V 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.

In order to track compliance with the project features contained in the AQIP,the checklist shall indicate the method and timing of verification,along with the responsible party to ensure the project features described in the AQIP are sufficiently implemented. A sample checklist format is provided in Attachment A,Section 11.7.9. 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.

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, fact sheets,case studies,and publications related to current smart growth design practices is available through the following organizations: EPA: http://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth SANDAG's "Designing for Smart Growth",January 2009: http://www.sandag.org NAHB: http://www.nahb.org ULI: http://www.uIi.org/CommunityBuiIding/RegionaILeadershipandCooperation/Smart%20Growth.aspx Smart Growth Network: http://www.smartgrowth.org AQIP Rev 08.1 1 2015-01-27 AgendaPacke176 Fourth Avenue I Chula Vista I California 1 9 19 10 1 (6 19) 691.5101 I ��/� D e v e l o p m e n t S e r v i c e s D e p a r t m e n t /Tr Planning Division I Development Processing CITY CHULA V ISTA AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (AQIP) GUIDELINES V ATTACHMENT B 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.

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).

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.

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. 2015-01-27 Agenda Pidkefourth Avenue I Chula Vista I California 1 91910 1 (6 19) 691-5101 Page 95 City of Chula Vista Water Conservation Plan 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.

Adopted May 27, 2003 2015-01-27 Agenda NcEkefourth Avenue I Chula Vista California 1 91910 (619) 691-5101 Page 98 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 99 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 100 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 101 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. 4 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 102 ATTACHMENT-2 Chapter 19.09 GROWTH MANAGEMENT Sections: 19.09.010 Purpose/mod+Intent, Policies and Findings. 19.09.020 Definitions, 19.09.030 Growth mManagement pProgram Implementation Manual. 19.09.040 Quality e tThreshold sStandards for City Facilities and Services. 19.09.050 Threshold Standards for External Facilities and SeMcces.

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 "P'urpose" 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. 36.

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. 1 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 140 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 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 141 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.

REPORT FROM THE DISTRICTING COMMISSION A. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW COMMISSIONER TO FILL A VACANCY ON THE DISTRICTING COMMISSION B. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE PROPOSED DISTRICTING COMMISSION BUDGET, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS, ACCORDINGLY (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolutions. SUMMARY The Districting Commission consists of seven members. One of those members, Patricia Chavez, recently resigned. Pursuant to the City Charter, the Districting Commission has selected an applicant to fill the vacant seat. The Commission's recommendation is presented to the City Council for final approval. In addition, the Commission has prepared a proposed budget and is requesting that the Council approve the budget and appropriate the necessary funds. 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 contemplated action is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in 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 The Districting Commission recommends that the City approve the appointment of Bernardo Vasquez to the Commission, approve the Commission's proposed budget, and appropriate the necessary funds, as reflected in that budget. Commission Chairman, Jerome Torres, will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to speak to these matters on behalf of the Commission. DISCUSSION Commissioner Appointment The City Charter was amended in 2012 to provide that the City Council members would be elected by-district, rather than at-large, beginning with the 2016 election cycle. The Charter required the City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 4 Printed on 1/22/2015 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet powered by Leg age 174 File#: 14-0747, Item#: 9. formation of a Districting Commission to prepare a Districting Plan establishing the Districts. The initial Districting Commission members were selected pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 300.5 and Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.51. The process for selection began with the solicitation of applications in early 2014. The City received 25 applications which met the minimum qualifications. The Charter Review Commission ("CRC") performed the task of selecting the ten most qualified applicants, after reviewed the applications, considering input from the public and City staff and interviewing applicants. The City Clerk then randomly selected four candidates from the pool of ten: Rita Buencamino-Andrews, Dr. John Korey, Reymond Monzon and William Richter, who were sworn-in as the first Districting Commission members. The initial members then selected the three additional members of the Commission, pursuant to Charter Section 300.5.D.3: "Three Commission Members shall be selected by the randomly selected Commission Members from the pool of eligible applicants, subject to approval by the City Council. The goal of such selections shall be to ensure that, to the extent possible and as permitted by law, the Commission includes: a. Women and men who reflect the racial, ethnic, and geographic diversity of the City; b. Persons who have relevant knowledge and/or demonstrated analytical abilities that would allow the Commission to carry out its responsibilities with a high degree of competence; c. Persons who have demonstrated the ability to serve impartially in a nonpartisan role; d. Persons who have experience in the areas of public communication and/or public outreach in the City; and e. Persons who have experience in civic and/or volunteer activities in the City. The City Council shall approve nominees for selection to the Commission unless the City Council finds by at least four (4) affirmative votes that the approval of one or more of the nominees would be inconsistent with this goal. In such case, the City Council shall approve for selection to the Commission one or more persons from the remaining pool of eligible applicants." Accordingly, the Commission selected the following three members: Patricia Chavez, Cheryl Goddard and Jerome Torres. All three selected were approved by the City Council. The Commission commenced its work in August and has been meeting monthly since that time. On December 8, 2014, Patricia Chavez resigned from the Commission, by letter to Commissioner Torres. The resignation letter was submitted to the Council for acceptance. The Charter provides that the vacancy shall be filled using the same process as was used for selecting the final three members (set forth above). Thus, the Commission was tasked with selecting another member from the original pool of ten. There were three applicants remaining in that pool: Edna Concepcion, Lillian Uy and Bernardo Vasquez. Ms. Concepcion and Ms. Uy both removed themselves from consideration. Accordingly, the Commission met on January 21St and considered the qualifications of Mr. Vasquez. The Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that Mr. Vasquez be appointed to serve on City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 4 Printed on 1/22/2015 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 175 File#: 14-0747, Item#: 9. the Commission. The Commission now requests that the City Council approve Mr. Vasquez's appointment. Mr. Vasquez's application is provided as Attachment 1 to this Staff Report. Budget In its 2014-15 adopted budget, the City Council allocated $75,000 to be used by the Commission. The Commission has determined that additional funds will be needed to complete its work. The Commission prepared a draft proposed budget indicating both "hard costs" and "in-kind" services that it anticipates will be necessary. That proposed budget was adopted by the Commission at its November 10, 2014 meeting, with direction to staff to amend it as necessary after selection of the consultant. The Commission submitted that budget to the City Council for approval on December 16, 2014. The Council voted 3-1 to approve the budget. However, approval required at least four votes. The Council suggested that the Commission return to the Council after the Council vacancy was filled, so that the full Council could consider the proposed budget. Accordingly, the Commission is again seeking approval of its proposed budget. The attached proposed budget reflects "Hard Costs" for fiscal year 2015 in the amount of $120,500. This is $45,500 over the $75,000 allocated in the 2015 budget. The hard costs include $68,000 for the Q2 contract, as well as additional staff costs, video recording, advertising and printing costs, and miscellaneous supplies and services. The Commission and staff are in the process of developing the specific public outreach plan, retaining a public outreach consultant, and identifying the types of services and tools that will be necessary for its work, such as translation services, and various public outreach tools. The retention of Q2 will be key to developing the overall work plan and identifying related costs. Subsequent to the Commission's adoption of the proposed budget, it selected a public outreach consultant for retention by the City. The estimated budget for that consultant was $30,000; the proposal for the preferred consultant came in at roughly $41,000. Staff will be engaging in contract negotiations with that consultant and the final contract amount is subject to change based on those negotiations. In light of these negotiations, the fact that this is the first time the City has undertaken districting efforts, and in order to prepare for variations in cost estimates, staff would recommend that the City Council allocate $10,000 in contingency funds to ensure that the Commission has sufficient funds to complete its work. Although this was not in the Districting Commission proposed budget, we have notified Chairman Torres of this recommendation. Accordingly, an appropriation of $55,500 is being recommended. This budget appropriation request was originally submitted to the Council at the December 16, 2014 City Council meeting. The City Council vote was 3-1 and, therefore, the budget appropriation did not pass. The Districting Commission met considered its proposed budget and the Council action at its January 21, 2015 meeting. The Commission formed a subcommittee to write a letter to the City Council providing additional information supporting its budget request. That letter is provided as Attachment 3 to this report. In addition, the Commission authorized Chairman Torres to address the Council on this matter, on behalf of the Commission. 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 18705.2 (a)(11), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 4 Printed on 1/22/2015 2015-01-27 Agenda Packet Page 176 File#: 14-0747, Item#: 9. 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. This action is the next step in implementing the voter-approved district election system for City Council members. Doing so will further the City's efforts toward its goal of a Connected Community, by implementing the will of the voters, and allowing the residents of each district to elect a City Council member from their own district. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is a current year general fund fiscal impact of $55,500. This amount is in addition to the $75,000 already allocated. These amounts will cover the estimated costs of consultants, services and supplies, including videotaping meetings, and publication and printing costs, staff costs and contingencies which may arise as the work is carried out. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The requested funding for fiscal year 2016 of $1 ,400 for staff time and services and supplies for the Commission to complete its work will be included in the proposed budget. This work will be done by December 2015, so there is no ongoing fiscal impact beyond 2016.

On December 16, 2014, City staff and the Commission Chairperson presented a detailed line item budget illustrating the need for a budget appropriation increase of $55,500 for the current fiscal year. However, this matter failed to garner the required 4/5 approval by the City Council. To assist the City Council in its deliberations, provided as Attachment A, is a matrix showing the respective Scope of Work for both the hired Mapping Consultant (Q2) and the prospective Outreach Consultant (Southwest Strategies). Provided as Attachment B is the Draft Framework of the Outreach/Communications Strategic Work Plan developed by the Commission. Presently, $68,000 of the original $75,000 has now been earmarked for the Mapping Consultant. Sufficient City funds should be provided to enable the Commission to undertake the robust and more inclusive community outreach efforts envisioned by the attached Work Plan. Of paramount importance is the required oral and written translation services that would be provided by the hired Outreach Consultant to ensure access to, and participation by, all members of our community. Failure to approve the budget increase would compel the Commission to rely on City in-kind contributions and/or donations and in-kind contributions of the community to provide a legally defensible community outreach effort. Thus, the Commission respectfully asks for your unanimous support and approval of the budget appropriation increase.
