Item 8
Meeting Date 9/2/86
ITEM TITLE: Resolution/0170;2- Approving agreement for Professional
Consultant Services for EastLake Greens/Activity Corridor Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The attached agreement with Mr. Bud Gray, Planning Consultant, and EastLake
Development Company, a California partnership, is for temporary professional
planning assistance. The assistance will allow the City to process, in a
timely fashion, planning documents for the 911-acre EastLake Greens/Activity
Corridor for land generally between Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue
Extended and easterly of future SR #125.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council waive the Consultant Selection Policy and
approve the attached agreement authorizing the Mayor to sign on behalf of the
City Council .
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In 1985, the City of Chula Vista approved a SPA Plan, Planned Community
District Regulations, Public Facilities Finance Plan, Development Agreement
and Subdivision Maps to EastLake I. A portion of EastLake I, about 377 acres
north of Telegraph Canyon Road was shown in a conceptual form only. The
applicant now wishes to detail that area plus annex and general plan an
additional 534 acres for the development of a golf course community.
EastLake along with El Rancho Del Rey are amongst the largest and most
important private developments the City will see during the next ten years.
It is vital for Council to have a thorough evaluation of each project. This
consultant will help expedite the review and evaluation of the project without
adversely affecting the ongoing operations of the Planning Department.
Mr. Bud Gray has previously acted in the capacity of general plan consultant,
Acting Planning Director and staff project consultant for the review of
EastLake I. In addition, he is presently project coordinator for the General
Plan Update, Master Public Facilities and Transportation Plans for the City of
Chula Vista. His knowledge with both the City of Chula Vista and EastLake is
singular and long standing. Staff and the applicant are of the opinion that
no other consultant, at this time, could bring to bear the same degree of
experience and expertise. It is anticipated that Mr. Gray would spend
approximately 1/3 to 1/2 time on the General Plan Update and 1/3 to 1/2 time
on the EastLake Greens Project. His General Plan role is more of a project
manager to the City than a technical participant.

Meeting Date 9/2/86
For the above reasons and acknowledging that this project is a partial
extension of EastLake I, staff feels it is appropriate to continue the
services of Mr. Gray and waive the normal consultant selection policy. The
applicant will reimburse the City for the full costs of the consultant as well
as pay the normal SPA plan filing fees.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no net fiscal impact to the City of Chula
Vista. All costs will be paid by the applicant.
