SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Directo 4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
REVIEtED BY: City Manager,
In order to implement the land use component of the Local Coastal Plan for the
Chula Vista Bayfront, an implementation plan must be prepared and presented to
the Coastal Commission for review. As part of the Sedway Cooke consultant
contract, option 8 was provided for the preparation of an implementation
program at a cost of $20,000. The City Council is requested to amend the
contract to direct Sedway Cooke to prepare the implementation plan at this
time. In addition, compensation for work associated with their work program
for the Land Use Plan, items 2 through 7, is also provided as part of the
contract amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt the resolution amending the contract
with Sedway Cooke Associates for the preparation of an implementation plan and
for additional services.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The California Coastal Commission
requires that an implementation plan to carry out the land use provisions of
the Local Coastal Plan be submitted for review and approval.
DISCUSSION:
The mechanisms for implementation of the Local Coastal Plan must be submitted
to the Coastal Commission in a certain format. These mechanisms will include
the criteria that the City will use to evaluate project proposals including
environmental evaluation, design review, and measures to assure the Coastal
Commission that standards developed adhere to the guidelines of the State
Coastal Act of 1976.
The Coastal Commission has awarded the City of Chula Vista a grant of up to
$28,154 for the preparation of an implementation program subject to the
amendment of the contract with Sedway Cooke to include option 8. The City has
until September 30, 1983, to comply with this requirement. If the City does
not comply, the reservation of grant funds will be lost.
Upon approval of the grant, funds expended by the City for the preparation of
an implementation program will be reimbursed by the California Coastal
Commission.

In addition to the implementation program, the consultant has requested
compensation for services relative to the existing Land Use Plan agreement.
The funds are requested mainly because of the delays and reworking of the Plan
due to the Corps of Engineers/Caltrans Project. A subcommittee of the
Redevelopment Agency consisting of Members Scott and McCandliss and Executive
Secretary Desrochers reviewed the issue. As a result, a negotiated amount of
$20,925 is being presented to the Council for approval . This amount will
cover the consultant's expense through the Commission hearing set for
mid-December in San Diego. A copy of the original agreement including the
first amendment is attached (Exhibit A) for your review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds to pay Sedway Cooke for the preparation of an
implementation program have been requested from the Redevelopment Agency at
their meeting of September 14, 1983. In accordance with the requirements of
the California Coastal Commission, the Sedway Cooke contract is with the City
of Chula Vista while the Redevelopment Agency is providing the funds to cover
contract expenses.
All of the $20,000 expended for the preparation of the implementation program
will be reimbursed through the Coastal Commission Grant; an additional $8,000
is reimbursable from the same grant for a comparison/evaluation of the
alternative plans. $41,000 of Agency funds have been appropriated for the
implementation plan and for the additional compensation requested by the
consultant.
