Vista is designated the "conducting authority" and the City Council is

It should be noted that the subject territory is in the City of Chula Vista 's
Partial Sphere-of-Influence, which was adopted by LAFCO in November, 1981 . In
addition, a majority of the landowners and registered voters within the
territory have signed petitions in favor of the proposed reorganization.
Environmental Review
The City Council , at their meeting of October 30, 1984, adopted Resolution No.
11811 certifying EIR-84-5, which included the Otay Valley Road South General
Plan Amendment, territorial prezoning, and annexation to the City of Chula
Vista.
General Plan/Prezoni ng
The County's Otay Subregional Plan designates the territory as service
commercial , intensive agriculture, and impact sensitive. County zoning is
currently C-37 (heavy commercial ) and A-72 (general agriculture) .
The plan diagram of the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan
designates the territory "Research and Limited Industrial" and "Parks and
Public Open Space." City prezoning is I-L-P (Limited Industrial with Precise
Plan Modifying District attached) for the area situated north of the northerly
floodway line of the Otay River, and F-1 (Floodway Zone) for the balance of
the area south of said floodway line.
The General Plan and prezoning classifications are consistent with the adopted
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Plan.
LAFCO Action
The Local Agency Formation Commission, at their public hearing of December 3,
1984, adopted a resolution approving the "Otay Valley Road Reorganization. "
The Commission designated the City of Chula Vista as "conducting authority"
and authorized the City Council to initiate reorganization proceedings in
compliance with LAFCO Is resolution.
Initiation of Reorganization Proceedings
Reorganization proceedings consist of two City Council actions, which are:
(a) Adopting a resolution initiating reorganization proceedings and setting
the time and date for a noticed public hearing for the purpose of considering
the proposed reorganization; and (b) conducting a public hearing at the time
and date as specified, considering the proposal , and taking appropriate action
in compliance with the Government Code. In accordance with Government Code
Section 56430(e) the City Council may conduct said public hearing at the
regularly scheduled meeting of January 8, 1985.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City 's share of base year property tax revenue from the
proposal area will be pursuant to the Master Property Tax Exchange Agreement
which was in effect prior to its expiration on November 1 , 1984.

Meeting Date 1Z/18/84
The Master Agreement's definition of "undeveloped property" (real property
having no assessed improvements thereon or having improvements thereon with an
assessed value of less than the assessed value of the land in the same parcel )
pertains to the territory proposed for annexation. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the City would receive none of the base year taxes from the annexed
area. However, because the proposal area is within a redevelopment district,
the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency would receive 100% of the territory 's
annual tax increment generated above the base year.
