WHEREAS, the need for a Veterans Home in Southern California is well
established, with over two-thirds (2/3) of the state's veterans residing in
Southern California; and,
WHEREAS, the State of California has created the Governor's Commission on
the Southern California Veterans Home to advise the Governor and the Legislature
on the placement of such a home; and,
WHEREAS, it is contemplated that, wherever the Veterans Home is located,
it will provide shelter and services to 400 to 600 veterans and create 200 to 300
new local jobs; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the social and economic benefits
of developing the Veterans Home in Chula Vista would be very significant; and,
WHEREAS, Income Property Group has expressed interest in submitting a joint
proposal with the City to the Governor's Commission regarding a potential
Veterans Home in the Lower Sweetwater Area on property owned by Income Property
Group and property owned by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista hereby finds that a Veterans Home in the City of Chula Vista would be
beneficial and urges the State of California to select a site in Chula Vista for
said Veterans Home.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council further resolves to provide
the state, the Governor's Commission on the Southern California Veterans Home,
and all other interested parties with all available information which might
assist in the siting decision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council is interested in further
exploring the possibility of locating a Veterans Home in the Lower Sweetwater
Area and therefore directs City staff to work with Income Property Group and the
Governor's Commission in examining the feasibility (including economic, land use,
and environmental issues) of locating a Veterans Home in said area.
