Subject: Southwestem College Parking Pertnit Ordinance
Dear Council Persons,
Please, Please support ihe Parking Ordinance Chula Vista Ciry is considering! My wife and I have lived at -
since May 1971.We still love our home, yard and Chula Vista but ha[e the fact we're an overflow SW parking area for
students noi willing or unable to pay for college parking. It has impacted our lives in many negative ways. Daily student
trash in our yard and guiter, loud music, profane language, parking in our driveway, blocking our driveway, no sireet
parking for our guests, our trash cans moved on trash day, beer cans, alcohol bottles, cigarette butts end up in our
bushes, etc., etc. I'm sure over the years you heard many various arguments on a variery of city issues more important
than this, but again we're asking you please help to end this onslaught on student parking and traffic, we and our
neighbors have endured for these so many years. It seems the N Ciry Council has the authoriry to help us home owners,
and the permit ordinance i{"passed" should resofve many of our past and current student parking problems. \Ne look
forward to its passing and are excited to be able to purchase parkin; permits or our relatives and guests.
Thanks for your time, your council representation and consideration on ihis matter.

Honorable Chula Vista City Council Members:
I respectfully request your vote in favor of the Coilege Estates Parking Permit District.
We cannot cross the street or pull out of our driveway safely due to restricted visibility from
cars parked on Columbia St. I pick up garbage left by fhose parking on Columbia St. and
Fordham St. daily. Parkers insist on their right to play their "music" at excessive levels on our
streets. The busy-ness of tra c and restricted visibility has attracted drug dealers and other
illegal appearing activity to our neighborhood. We were required to provide parking for our
business in Chula Vista, and even though SWC has provided parking on campus, students
prefer to park on our streets.
Please rescue us and vote to establish the College Estates Parking Permit District.
Thank you!

I Have owned my home for 25 years and have seen the neighborhood deteriorate over the years due to the students
using our neighborhood as a parking lot.
However I am located on the�700 61ock:of:=Yale;�I'm concerned that this problem will only get worse and they will be
forced to park in my area in time. I
Some of the problems I have witnessed are that they drive dangerously to get a place to park in order to get to class on
time . I have seen much trash left behind by these students. Not to mention loitering and smoking pot in their vehicles.
Please help us take back our neighborhood to what it was so many years ago.A sa`e,clean,and an overall nice place to
live!
Respectfully we need your supportl

Why on P.arfh would pemiits need to he renewed7 nnc;e the in}'rastructure is in

we would be.zoned for permiu, we are pretty much a low prioriry as calls are addressed
in ordcr of importunce, as they shaulJ be.
I know that Xavier and the streets going one block up I'rom the Coliege do havc �
ptuking i�sues, and fur that i'm sorry. Once upon a timc Southwestem College had
parking permiU built into registratiun as so many oiher colleges do ioduy. It cun go buck

Dear Chula Vista representative,
I urge you to vote yes on the college estates parking issue . Please prevent the students from
Southwestern College from parfcing in our neighborhood and refurn our homes to the quiet place it
was before. Thank you from Irfe long residents of Chula Vista and a college estates resident for 44

We look forward to joining you at [he restric[ed permit parking in college estates
meeting no Tuesday, February 23,2016.
Ftere is the history of our involvement with the process.
From 2011-2016,our neighborhood has worked ti ith the city of Chula Vista and
Southern college to solve a con[inuous and gro+ing student off campus parking
problem.
Here are some of the reasons why we favor this parking permit district vithin
college estates.
Students take up all the available residential parking on Xavier street and some of
the nearby streets, to include the 1600 and 1700 blocks of Yale street
Since [he parking s[ruc[ure proposed earlier at southwestern college is no longer on
the table, the residents +n the 1700 block of Yale sveet, are concerned that if he
1600 biock is permitted, the overflow of off campus student parking with overflow
onto the 1700 block of Yale sr. The 17700 of Yale Stree[were in favor of permitted
parking, as was indicated in [he interest survey conducted just this past year.
Students throw their fast food trash under parked cars and leave it for the
homeo+ner to c]ean up. When the street deaning comes once a month, unless [he
homeowners do the cleaning up the trash bui]ds up, which attracts rats that come
up through the sewer at nigh[s. I, myself have pick trash out of che storm drain as
to not have a build up in the case of a heavy rain so as to no[ cause flooding in the
immediate area.
During veekly trash pickup, service days are on Tuesday, students move the trash
cans onto the curb so they can park their cars in the space, causing the trash not to
be picked up.
With all the cars on the street some students feel safe to do their drug use(smoking
marijuana) and or drink their alcoholic beverages in their cars. lNe see drug
paraphernalia and empty beer bottles left behind as evidence.
The criminal element blends in better because there are so many parked cars on the
street. It is easier to case out neighborhood for potential home burglary wi[h so
many cars parked.
The CV staff, CV ciry sa ety council, southwestern college police, CV police
department and our neighborhood ail agree there is a parking problem. As residents
ve are happy [hat there is no+ an ordinance on the books to allow for restricted
permit parkin in the city of Chula Vista .this is a step in the right direction.
The largest opposition to the actual permit is the 20 fee per vehicle,. Residenu
wouid like to see either the college and or the city of Chula Vista to forgo the yearly
permit(s) fee, since the problem does come from the college.
My wife and 1 support the proposal and we would gladty buy our permits and guest
permit to show our support.
After 5 years, of evaluating and studying the proposal, it is time to take action. And
implement the ordinance for college estates.!!
I am in favor of the permit-parking ordinance and pray the 1700 block of Yale Street
is included in the permit-parking district.
Could you please enter this letter into the public record of the February 23 d 2016,
meeting.
Thank you for all your efforts,
Louis & Johanna Apodaca
