Sincer � , • R Daniel Hernan ez March 2, 2015 City of Chula�sta Mayor Salas Cfty Councilmembers 276 4th Ave Chula Vsta, CA 91910 Oear Honorable Mayor Salas and City Council Members, I am writing in support of the V11age Club Card Room. They have been good stewards for ou� community over the past sixty years. They have consistently supported many neighborhood organizations and nonprofits organizations that rely on the generosity of businesses like vllage Club Card Room to do important work in the community. In today's economic ernironment it is encouraging to see a family run company so committed to supporting the nonprofits that serve our community. I believe Village Club's mave to Bay Boulevard will benefit the community. The new location will provide a newly renovated space for people to enjoy. The buildings on Bay Boulevard have been improved inside and out and will provide much more needed space. The new Iocation will also provide sufficient parking so people can park in parking lots instead of on neighborhood streets. Please support the move of the Vllage Club Card Room.

The relocation will allow them space to grow for their clients and for their employees, both having positive impacts on our city. Without question, a residential neighborhood isn't the best location for a card room. Not only would the relocation relieve parking in the surrounding neighborhoods, but also highlight the Bay front as an exciting place to visit in our city. The Bay front throughout South County is prime property to show off to our residents and guests what the great City of Chula Vista possesses.

The EI Torito was a great venue because of the location and how easy it was to get to. Now there will be another great venue that will not only drive economic growth but also provide a great place to eat and enjoy local ethnic cuisine and culture. Since EI Torito has been gone, that location has fell into disrepair. I am excited about the project to build out the location and look forv✓ard to its completion. �incere� �'� Victor Nieto Chula Vista, 91910 February 18, 2015 Dear Chula Vista City Council and Mayor, Please support the Village Club cardroom moving to the Bayfront. I have been working at the cardroom for years and know moving the cardroom to the Bayfront will be a positive move for Village Club, the City of Chula Vista and its residents. The move to the new facility will enable us to provide more safety, more space and a better facility. The upgrades to the buildings on Bay Boulevard will be aesthetically pleasing and a good addition to our Bayfront. Currently, the two buildings are vacant and an eye sore. Graffdi keeps appearing on them because they are vacant, but if they are occupied by Village Club it will keep the buildings safe from vandalism. In addition, new and upgraded security systems inside and outside the buildings will be installed providing better safety for patrons, staff and the community. There will also be much more parking, allowing patrons and staff to park in dedicated parking lots instead of on the streets of neighborhoods. Please support the Village Club moving out of a neighborhood and into a zone designated for businesses.

I am a resident on Vance Street and believe moving the Cardroom out of the neighborhood will benefit all. Village Club Cardroom has been good neighbors during the time I have lived in the neighborhood,but they have become too bury to stay in a neighborhood. Their parking lot is too small, causing their customers to park on the street outside my house. It is often difficult for me to find parking outside my house and many times I have to park a block away. The people who own the Village Club are nice people,and have been trying to be good neighbors but they are just too big to stay in a neighborhood. Please support the move of the Village Club so I can have my quiet neighborhood to raise my children, free from worrying about the constant treffic caused by the Village Club.

CA 91910 Deaz Mayor Salas and City Councilmembers, I support the relocation ofthe Village Club Card Room to the Chula Vista Bayfront. Currently, the card room is in my neighborhood on Vance Street, and moving it to a non- residential area simply mal:es more sense. The Village Club has been good neighbors throughout the years but its time to move it to a more appropriate area. The new location on the Bayfront will take the card room out of a neighborhood, allow for more parking and provide an upgraded faci(ity. Being a neighbor of the Village Club, I know that they will be good tenants for the Bayfront. They keep the neighborhood dean and provide 24 hour security. Their workers are constantly cleaning the streets outside my house, but they have simply become too big and busy to remain in a neighborhood. Their pazking lot is not large enough to accommodate their patrons and they need to move to a facility that has ample parking. Please support th location of the Village Club Card room to the Bayfront in Chula Vista. Sincerely, / D �� `� ��,��-, �� I�
