Commencement FY shall be the sum of the Deferred DIF Obligation plus the Accrued Interest
Obligation. If for any Fiscal Year the Assigned Special Tax Obligation is determined to be greater
than the Maximum Special Tax Obligation, then the Assigned Special Tax Obligation shall be
equal to the Maximum Special Tax Obligation.
C. Deferred DIF Obligation

Property shall commence to accrue on the Initial Interest Accrual Date. The Accrued Interest
Obligation applicable to such Assessor’s Parcel in the Initial Accrued Interest Obligation FY shall

the prior Fiscal Year plus two percent (2%) of the Deferred DIF Obligation as of July 1 of the
prior Fiscal Year.

Commencement FY shall be equal to (i) the Annual Special Tax for Facilities plus (ii) the Annual
Special Tax for Accrued Interest plus (iii) the Annual Special Tax for Current Interest.
The Annual Special Tax for Facilities in any Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be equal to the Deferred DIF Obligation on July 1 of the Special Tax
Commencement FY times the Repayment Rate in Table 2 belowthat corresponds with such
Fiscal Year. In each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Annual Special Tax for Facilities will remain

Commencement FY shall be equal to the Accrued Interest Obligation on July 1 of the Special Tax
Commencement FY times the Repayment Rate in Table 2 below that corresponds with such
Fiscal Year. In each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Annual Special Tax for Accrued Interest will
remain unchanged until the Accrued Interest Obligation is paid in full.

4. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Commencing with the Special Tax Commencement FY and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD
Administrator shall apportion the Assigned Special Tax Obligation as set forth below.
First:All Original Parcels that are reflected on the Assessor’s Parcel Maps applicable to the current
Fiscal Year will be assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and AssignedSpecial Tax Obligation in
accordance with Section 3 above.
Second:All Original Parcels that are not reflected on the Assessor’s Parcel Maps applicable to the
current Fiscal Year will be assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and Assigned Special Tax
Obligation in accordance with Section 3 above as if such parcels still existed in their previous form.
Third:The Maximum Special Tax Obligation and Assigned Special Tax Obligation that were calculated in
the Second step above will be assigned to each applicable Successor Parcel based on the amount of
Taxable Acreage contained in such Successor Parcel divided by the amount of Taxable Acreage
contained in the relevant Original Parcel. The sum of the Maximum Special Tax Obligations of each
group of Successor Parcels shall be equal to Maximum Special Tax Obligation of the applicable Original
Parcel that was determined in the Second step. Likewise, the sum of the Assigned Special Tax
Obligations of each group of Successor Parcels shall be equal to Assigned Special Tax Obligation of the
applicable Original Parcel that was determined in the Second step.
Fourth:The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at 100% of the
applicable Annual Special Tax.
Successor Parcels that are assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and an Assigned Special Tax
Obligation in the current Fiscal Year will be considered Original Parcels in the following Fiscal Year.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year
against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private
residential use has been issued be increased as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of
the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 17-I by more than ten percent
(10%) above what would have been levied in the absence of such delinquencies or defaults.
5. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Collection of the Annual Special Tax shall be made by the County in the same manner as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes are collected and the Annual Special Tax shall be subject to the same penalties
and the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the
Council may provide for (i) other means of collecting the Special Tax, including direct billings thereof to
the property owners; and (ii) judicial foreclosure of delinquent Annual Special Taxes.
6. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX OBLIGATION
A. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax Obligation by a cash
settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or
Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 21
A -9
obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described
herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel
only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time
of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation
shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or
identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD
Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such
Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this service. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each
applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized
terms as defined below):
Deferred DIF Obligation
plus Accrued Interest Obligation
plus Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined in Step 14 below)
shall be calculated as follows:
Step No.:
1.Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2.For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, determine the Deferred DIF
Obligation and the Accrued Interest Obligation. For Assessor’s Parcels of
Undeveloped Property for whicha Building Permit has been issued, compute the
Deferred DIF Obligation for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already
designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has
already been issued for that Assessor’s Parcel.
3.Calculatethe administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 17-I, including the
costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment
proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 17-I, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepaymentand the redemption (the “Prepayment
Administrative Fees”).
4.The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the
amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 (the “Prepayment
Amount”).
5.The Prepayment Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 shall be retained by CFD No. 17-I.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been
paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which theSpecial Tax Obligation is
prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied
Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment ofthe Special Tax and the release
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 22
A -10
of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for
which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid. The amount of the
prepayment shall be calculated as in Section 6.A, except that a partial prepayment shall be
calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section 6.A
F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Special Tax Obligation
A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the
percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or
agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the
owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax
Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute the
funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 17-I
that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that the remaining
Special Tax Obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 -F)
of the Deferred DIF Obligation and the Accrued Interest Obligation, shall continue to be levied
on such Assessor’s Parcel in the same manner as before the Partial Prepayment.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to satisfy the Assigned Special Tax Obligation for a
period not to exceed thirty (30) Fiscal Years commencing with Special Tax Commencement FY,
provided however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD
Administrator has determined that all CFD No. 17-I obligations have been satisfied.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii)
Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as
places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a
religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their
utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 23
A -11
Developed Property classified as Non-Residential Property as determined reasonably by the CFD
Administrator.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no
longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make
such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to
be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her
Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall firstconsult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later
than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is
disputed. If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred,
then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to
correct the error:
(i)Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal
Year prior to the payment date,
(ii)Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the
extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii)Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s
Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error
still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of
such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to
undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still
exists, the CFD Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of
priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special
Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration
of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be
final.

Commencing on July 1 of the Fiscal Year following the Initial Interest Accrual Date, the Maximum
Special Tax Obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall increase on July 1 of each Fiscal Year by an
amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Maximum Special Tax Obligation in effect for the prior
Fiscal Year.
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 45
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-5
B. Assigned Special Tax Obligation
On July 1 of each Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax Commencement FY, the CFD
Administrator shall determine the Assigned Special Tax Obligation for that Fiscal Year.
The Assigned Special Tax Obligation in any given Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be the sum of the Deferred DIF Obligation plus the Accrued Interest
Obligation. If for any Fiscal Year the Assigned Special Tax Obligation is determined to be greater
than the Maximum Special Tax Obligation, then the Assigned Special Tax Obligation shall be
equal to the Maximum Special Tax Obligation.
C. Deferred DIF Obligation
The Deferred DIF Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel classified as Undeveloped
Property shall be zero.
The initial Deferred DIF Obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel classified as Developed
Property shall be determined by the CFD Administrator at the time of issuance of a Building
Permit for such Assessor’s Parcel. The Deferred DIF Obligation shall be equal to the sum of the
applicable DIFs specified in the DIF Deferral Agreement for each Building Permit issued for
Assessor’s Parcels within CFD No. 17-I. The amount of each DIF included in the DIF Fee
Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel shall be based on the fee schedule applicable to such DIF in
effect at the time of issuance of such Building Permit.
The Deferred DIF Obligation in any Fiscal Year applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed
Property shall be equal to the Deferred DIF Obligation in the prior Fiscal Year less any Annual
Special Tax for Facilities payments made in the prior Fiscal Year.
If a partial prepayment is made pursuant to Section 6.B below, the Deferred DIF Obligation will
also be reduced by the applicable amount of the Deferred DIF Obligation that was prepaid.
D. Accrued Interest Obligation
The Accrued Interest Obligation in the Initial Fiscal Year applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel
classified as Developed Property for which a Certificate of Occupancy has not been issued prior
to July 1 of such Fiscal Year shall be zero.
The Accrued Interest Obligation applicable to any Assessor’s Parcel classified as Developed
Property shall commence to accrue on the Initial Interest Accrual Date. The Accrued Interest
Obligation applicable to such Assessor’s Parcel in the Initial Accrued Interest Obligation FY shall
be equal to two percent (2%) of the Deferred DIF Obligation as of July 1 of such Fiscal Year
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from and
including the Initial Interest Accrual Date to and including June 30th of such Fiscal Year and the
denominator of which is 365. The Accrued Interest Obligation for each subsequent Fiscal Year
prior to the Special Tax Commencement FY shall be equal to the Accrued Interest Obligation in
the prior Fiscal Year plus two percent (2%) of the Deferred DIF Obligation as of July 1 of the prior
Fiscal Year.
The Accrued Interest Obligation in the Special Tax Commencement FY and each subsequent
Fiscal Year applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel classified as Developed Property shall be equal to
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 46
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-6
the Accrued Interest Obligation as of July 1 of the prior Fiscal Year less any Annual Special Tax
for Accrued Interest payments made in the prior Fiscal Year.
If a partial prepayment is made pursuant to Section 6.B below, the Deferred DIF Obligation will
also be reduced by the applicable amount of the Accrued Interest Obligation that was prepaid.
E. Annual Special Tax
The Annual Special Tax for Developed Property in any Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be equal to (i) the Annual Special Tax for Facilities plus (ii) the Annual
Special Tax for Accrued Interest plus (iii) the Annual Special Tax for Current Interest.
The Annual Special Tax for Facilities in any Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be equal to the Deferred DIF Obligation on July 1 of the Special Tax
Commencement FY times the Repayment Rate in Table 2 below that corresponds with such
Fiscal Year. In each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Annual Special Tax for Facilities will remain
unchanged until the Deferred DIF Obligation is paid in full.
The Annual Special Tax for Accrued Interest in any Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be equal to the Accrued Interest Obligation on July 1 of the Special Tax
Commencement FY times the Repayment Rate in Table 2 below that corresponds with such
Fiscal Year. In each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Annual Special Tax for Accrued Interest will
remain unchanged until the Accrued Interest Obligation is paid in full.
The Annual Special Tax for Current Interest in any Fiscal Year commencing the Special Tax
Commencement FY shall be equal to the Deferred DIF Obligation on July 1 of such Fiscal Year
times the Current Interest Rate in Table 2 below that corresponds with such Fiscal Year.

4. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Commencing with the Special Tax Commencement FY and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD
Administrator shall apportion the Assigned Special Tax Obligation as set forth below.
First: All Original Parcels that are reflected on the Assessor’s Parcel Maps applicable to the current Fiscal
Year will be assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and Assigned Special Tax Obligation in
accordance with Section 3 above.
Second: All Original Parcels that are not reflected on the Assessor’s Parcel Maps applicable to the
current Fiscal Year will be assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and Assigned Special Tax
Obligation in accordance with Section 3 above as if such parcels still existed in their previous form.
Third: The Maximum Special Tax Obligation and Assigned Special Tax Obligation that were calculated in
the Second step above will be assigned to each applicable Successor Parcel based on the amount of
Taxable Acreage contained in such Successor Parcel divided by the amount of Taxable Acreage
contained in the relevant Original Parcel. The sum of the Maximum Special Tax Obligations of each
group of Successor Parcels shall be equal to Maximum Special Tax Obligation of the applicable Original
Parcel that was determined in the Second step. Likewise, the sum of the Assigned Special Tax
Obligations of each group of Successor Parcels shall be equal to Assigned Special Tax Obligation of the
applicable Original Parcel that was determined in the Second step.
Fourth: The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at 100% of the
applicable Annual Special Tax.
Successor Parcels that are assigned a Maximum Special Tax Obligation and an Assigned Special Tax
Obligation in the current Fiscal Year will be considered Original Parcels in the following Fiscal Year.
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 48
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-8
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against
any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use
has been issued be increased as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax
applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 17-I by more than ten percent (10%) above
what would have been levied in the absence of such delinquencies or defaults.
5. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Collection of the Annual Special Tax shall be made by the County in the same manner as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes are collected and the Annual Special Tax shall be subject to the same penalties
and the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the
Council may provide for (i) other means of collecting the Special Tax, including direct billings thereof to
the property owners; and (ii) judicial foreclosure of delinquent Annual Special Taxes.
6. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX OBLIGATION
A. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax Obligation by a cash
settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or
Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the
obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described
herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel
only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time
of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation
shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or
identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD
Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such
Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this service. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each
applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized
terms as defined below):
Deferred DIF Obligation
plus Accrued Interest Obligation
plus Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined in Step 14 below)
shall be calculated as follows:
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 49
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-9
Step No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, determine the Deferred DIF
Obligation and the Accrued Interest Obligation. For Assessor’s Parcels of
Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the
Deferred DIF Obligation for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already
designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has
already been issued for that Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Calculate the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 17-I, including the
costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment
proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 17-I, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Prepayment
Administrative Fees”).
4. The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the
amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
5. The Prepayment Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 shall be retained by CFD No. 17-I.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been
paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax Obligation is
prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied
Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release
of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for
which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid. The amount of the
prepayment shall be calculated as in Section 6.A, except that a partial prepayment shall be
calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section 6.A
F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Special Tax Obligation
A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the
percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency
that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner
with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 50
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-10
Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute the
funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 17-I that
there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that the remaining
Special Tax Obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F)
of the Deferred DIF Obligation and the Accrued Interest Obligation, shall continue to be levied
on such Assessor’s Parcel in the same manner as before the Partial Prepayment.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to satisfy the Assigned Special Tax Obligation for a
period not to exceed thirty (30) Fiscal Years commencing with Special Tax Commencement FY, provided
however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has
determined that all CFD No. 17-I obligations have been satisfied.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii)
Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as
places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a
religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their
utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed
Property classified as Non-Residential Property as determined reasonably by the CFD Administrator.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer
classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make such
Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be
classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her
Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later
than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed.
If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, then the
CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to correct the
error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal
Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the
extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s
Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error
still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of
such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to
2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 51
60297.00044\21522561.2 A-11
undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still exists,
the CFD Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of
priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special
Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration of
the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be final.

Rehabilitation of Owner Occupied Housing: Continue
implementation of the City’s Community Housing Improvement
Program (CHIP), which provides favorable loans to low-income
homeowners, and to include improvements for water conservation,
energy efficiency, and lead based paint abatement. Assistance will
be focused on a block by block basis to homeowners residing in the
Northwest and Southwest Planning Areas with priority given to those
single-family home owners of very low-income, special needs and/or
senior households.
The City will leverage its Home Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade
(HUCD) program, which provides low interest loans to homeowners
for energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades, to better
serve low-income and moderate-income residents. The City will
also increase marketing and outreach efforts for the CHIP,
especially in lower-income neighborhoods and mobile home parks,
and integrate the HUCD program into the City’s First-Time
Homebuyers Program as an optional financing tool.
1 2021
In 2014, staff evaluated the CHIP loan program to determine leveraging opportunities and
potential revisions to increase program efficiency. Alterations were made and the program
was relaunched in mid-2014. In 2015, 7 grants were provided to mobilehomeowners for
minor repairs and rehabilitation (4 elderly / 3 disabled / 5 female head of household) and 1
single-family home (1 female head of household).
During 2015, the City also expanded and supported the Property Assessed Clean Energy
(PACE) programs, a private-public partnership, that financed over 600 projects for a total of
more than $12 million in energy and water upgrades in the community in 2015. PACE
allows residents to finance energy or water saving improvements through a tax assessment
placed on their property.
Staff worked closely with the MAAC Weatherization Program to prioritize and maximize
rehabilitation between programs and assisted 6 households in Chula Vista. In addition we
referred 4 low income households to the SDG&E’s Energy Saving Assistance Program and
referred 6 middle income households to their Residential Direct Install program.
During the 2013-2020 Housing Element period: 5 households were assisted with energy
efficiency loans (1 female headed) and 13 CHIP loans issued (12 mobilehomes, 9 elderly, 4
disabled, 11 female headed).
To respond to a changing climate and promote sustainability in the
community, the City has adopted policies and programs to reduce
the impacts of climate change through adaptation strategies. Many
of these strategies, such as designing more energy-efficient
buildings, also help to mitigate climate change by reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. To support the City of Chula Vista’s
Climate Action Plan and its related goals, the City supports the
following design measures to improve climate change resilience:
design natural ventilation and passive solar into residential
buildings; limit internal heat by specifying high-efficiency lighting and
equipment; modeling of energy performance with higher cooling
design temperatures; avoid building in flood zones; elevate
mechanical and electrical equipment to minimize damage and
danger from flooding; specify Class A roofing to reduce risk of
wildfire; and design buildings to maintain livable conditions in the
event of loss of power or heating fuel, or shortages of water.
2 2021
During 2015, staff further incorporated resiliency to climate change into City operations
through the draft Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Specifically, two climate-related
hazards – drought and extreme heat – were added and evaluated in the planning document
and actions to mitigate those hazards’ risks were identified. The PACE program, reference
Section 1.1.1, provides residents and businesses with financing for energy and water
upgrades, which improve their resiliency.
1.1.2 Encourage Climate Resilient Design

are available
In 2013, the City completed infrastructure improvements to the Castlepark Area with $9.5
million HUD Section 108 Loan and $800,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds.
A total of 11 streets were improved by the installation of new curbs, gutter, sidewalks,
streets and lighting. In addition in 2013 the city completed approximately 24 curb cuts in
low/moderate income census tracts using CDBG funds.
The 13th Annual Beautify Chula Vista Day event (funded by a California Redemption Value
grant) was held Saturday, Oct 10, 2015. Over 700 volunteers spanned out across Rice
Canyon at Discovery Park and Otay Recreation neighborhood areas, where they removed
litter and graffiti, pulled invasive plants, and planted native plants. A combined total of 5,555
trash and 8,765 Recyclables and Greenery were collected.
As part of a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, the
City seeks to provide financial assistance to private property owners
of existing and deteriorating multifamily rental housing within
Northwest and Southwest planning areas and requiring the property
owner to set aside a number of housing units for lower income
households at affordable rents. Efforts will be made to target
properties in such areas where privately initiated improvements in
other neighborhood developments may be generated.

In 2013, the Housing Authority and City Council approved the issuance of $8 million in tax
exempt bonds to acquire and rehabilitate 100 (99 units are income restricted with one on-
site manager's unit) apartments at Kiku Gardens (aka Garden Villas) for very-low and low-
income households and restricted for a period of 55 years. In addition, the City acquired and
rehabilitated a total of five properties (three in Western Chula Vista and two in Eastern Chula
Vista) utilizing HOME and NSP funds. Two of the units will be restricted for special needs
and extremely low-income households, while three will be restricted for low-income
households.
Additionally, in 2012, the Housing Authority approved the issuance of $21 million of tax
exempt bonds for the interior renovations and systems upgrades of 184 apartments at
Congregational Towers. The complex will continue to serve low-income seniors at 60
percent AMI for a term of 55 years. Renovations began in 2013 and are expected to be
completed in late 2014/early 2015.
During the 2013-2020 Housing Element period: 315 units were secured for long-term
affordable rentals, 103 in Western Chula Vista and 212 in Eastern Chula Vista.
Support applications for available Federal or State funding to reduce
housing related environmental hazards, including lead hazard
control, building structural safety, electrical safety, and fire
protection to address multiple childhood diseases and injuries in the
home, such as the Healthy Homes Initiative.
2 2021
Due to the City’s budgetary reductions, funding levels, priority needs and scoring criteria, the
City did not respond to the U.S. Department of HUD NOFA’s for its Healthy Homes and
Lead Hazard Control Programs.
In 2013, City staff applied for and received a SANDAG Smart Growth Planning Grant in the
amount of $100,000 for the development of our Healthy Communities program. During 2015
amendments were made to the General Plan to incorporate health throughout the document
and a Complete Streets policy was adopted. In addition, on January 5, 2016 the first
Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan was adopted establishing over 66 strategies for healthy
policy, programs and partnerships.
Provide for the continuance of a multifamily inspection program that
evaluates conditions of rental housing complexes of three or more

1 2021
Due to the growing foreclosure issue in Chula Vista, the City adopted a Residential
Abandoned Properties Program (RAPP) ordinance in August 2007, which requires mortgage
lenders to inspect defaulted properties to confirm that they are occupied. If a property is
found to be vacant, the program requires that the lender exercise the abandonment clause
within their mortgage contract, register the property with the City and immediately begin to
secure and maintain the property to the neighborhood standard. As of December 31, 2015
a total of 5,775 registries were recorded since program inception.
Additionally, Code Enforcement responded to 463 residential complaints during 2015. This
includes general complaints and unpermitted construction on condos and single-family
dwellings (renter and owner-occupied).
During the 2013-2020 Housing Element period: 1,311 residential code cases.

Name of Program
The City’s General Plan, including this 2013 – 2020 Housing
Element, promote a land use pattern that is anticipated to reduce
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and result in the region meeting or
exceeding the targets established by the California Air Resources
Board (CARB). The key component of the 2013 – 2020 Housing
Element will be to promote the integration of land use planning and
transit, whereby: the City encourages the use of incentives, when
available, for mixed-use development, which includes housing,
retail, and office space, at transit nodes and other high-intensity
locations as appropriate. The City supports implementation of the
San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)’s Sustainable
Communities Strategy (SCS), including the adopted Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Plan, which includes the
following: increasing the housing supply and the mix of housing
types, tenure, and affordability in an equitable manner, promote infill
development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of
environmental and agricultural resources, and the encouragement of
efficient development patterns, promote an improved intraregional
relationship between jobs and housing, allocate a lower proportion of
housing need to an income category when there is a
disproportionately high share of households in that income category,
as compared with the most recent decennial United States census,
work with SANDAG to update the Smart Growth Concept Map to
reflect the changes to Chula Vista’s land use plans contained in the
2050 Regional Growth Forecast and to the regional transportation
network. Encourage joint development opportunities to promote the
construction of sustainable housing and mixed-use projects at
existing and planned transit stations.
1 2021
In 2014, City staff participated in SANDAG regional workshops regarding the incorporation of
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) into the Development Process. TDM refers to
programs and strategies that manage and reduce traffic congestion during peak travel
times. Two Specific Planning Area's (SPA's), Millennia and Village 8 East, will include TDM.
During 2013-2014 several western Chula Vista infill projects were entitled that incorporate
mixed use development.
The City of Chula Vista’s Sustainable Communities Program (SCP) seeks to promote energy
efficiency and reduce green house gas emissions in the planning and building process and
in neighborhood design.
In 2013, the SCP developed a modeling tool for energy efficient community and site
planning standards. The model is based on LEED’s Neighborhood Development rating
system, which integrates the principles of smart growth, New Urbanism and green building
and encourages better neighborhood planning and development by assisting developers to
select the appropriate mix of energy efficient features to maximize their site’s sustainability
score. This evaluation tool will be available on the City’s website.

Continue to implement the Balanced Communities-Affordable
Housing Policy first adopted by the City’s Housing Element in 1981
and any implementing guidelines as adopted and updated. For all
new residential projects consisting of 50 or more dwelling units,10
percent of the residential units within the development (“on-site”)
shall be affordable to low and moderate income households (5
percent low-income and 5 percent moderate-income).
1 2021
The City continues to implement this objective through the Affordable Housing Program
requiring new residential developments of 50 units or more to provide 10% of the housing for
low and moderate income households. In September 2015, the Balanced Communities
Policy Guidelines were adopted to address market conditions and to ensure the Policy is
meeting intended goals to provide affordable housing opportunities throughout the
community.
In 2014 through the Inclusionary Housing Program building permits were issued for two
developments with inclusionary agreements in Eastern Chula Vista. 11 moderate-income
units will be built at Lake Pointe in the Eastlake III community and 10 moderate-income units
at Monarch @ Tavera in Otay Ranch Village 2. In-lieu of low income units the developers
are contributing $1,751,502 to the Inclusionary Housing Fund toward the production of future
affordable housing.
In February 2015 the Housing Authority and the City approved $5 million in financial
assistance for the new construction of a 123 unit senior and 87 unit family rental project for
very low and low income households in the Millenia master planned community within
Eastern Chula Vista, respective known as Volta and Duetta. Subsequently in October 2015,
the Housing Authority and City Council took those necessary actions for the proposed
issuance of $41.1 million in tax exempt bonds to finance the majority of the development
and construction costs. The financial closing of Volta and Duetta is expected in March
2016, with construction to begin in the Spring 2016.
During the 2013-2020 cycle: 21 moderate income units in Eastern Chula Vista and
$1,751,502 in-lieu fees.
Continue assistance to low-income households in purchasing their
first home through the City’s First Time Homebuyer Down Payment
and Closing Cost Assistance Program. Consider amendments, as
necessary, to the Program to adequately reflect real estate market
conditions.

The MCC program is now administered by CalHFA and the City’s non-profit partner,
SpringBoard CDFI( formerly Community HousingWorks) is authorized the provide MCC's to
eligible households in the San Diego Region, including Chula Vista.
In 2013, four households became new homeowners in Chula Vista utilizing the MCC
program which entitled them to take a federal income tax credit of fifteen to twenty percent
(15% to 20%) of the annual interest they pay on their home mortgage and increasing their
qualified maximum loan amount. No MCC's were issued in Chula Vista during 2014 while
the program was transitioning from the current provider County of San Diego and AHA
Housing to Cal-HFA.
The City no longer has access to the total number of MCC's issued within its jurisdiction.
Support and encourage developers, lenders and social service
organizations to provide educational programs, loan counseling, and
materials for homeowners and potential homeowners on home
maintenance, improvement, and financial management. The
purpose of these educational programs will be to help first-time
homebuyers prepare for the purchase of a home and to understand
the importance of maintenance, equity appreciation, and personal
budgeting to minimize foreclosure rates.

The City continues to monitor and enforce the Mobilehome Space Rent Review Ordinance.
In August 2011, ordinance amendments provided temporary decontrol on change of
ownership, in an effort to allow rents to be raised to market on a one-time basis. The
amendments also included the establishment of an administrative fee to allow residents to
retain rent control services as desired. The changes were updated in February 2012, with
implementing guidelines to the fee and minor amendments in February 2013 to streamline
administration and require adequate notification of residents.
During the 2013-2020 cycle, the commission held 8 public meetings, and did not review any
proposed rent increases.
Promote the purchase of those mobilehome parks with a
Mobilehome Park (MHP) zone designation by park residents, when a
park becomes available for sale in accordance with CVMC Chapter
9.60 (Sale of a Mobilehome Park). Accordingly, resident
organizations shall have a right to purchase a park listed for sale if
the organization is able to reach an acceptable price and terms and
conditions with the mobilehome park owner. Financial assistance
that may be provided by the State, or other funding sources may be
limited to income eligible residents and require affordable housing
costs.

In 2009, the Affordable Housing Working Group looked at avenues to improve the
development review process, including: fee waivers/deferrals, flexible development
standards, and/or other mechanisms to provide incentives to projects meeting certain
thresholds of affordability. The City’s "Development Process Streamlining Committee"
evaluated impediments to the planning process including: entitlement processing,
development fees, and regulatory issues. Affordable housing was specifically addressed by
the Streamlining Committee, and is a permitted use for consideration of expedited
processing, fee waivers, and flexible development standards.
In 2013, an affordable housing development was able to utilize the expedited processing
services for a 33 unit rental project, which will be made available to extremely low and low-
income households. This project will be restricted to households at 30-60 AMI, and restricted
for a period of 55 years. The project pulled building permits in 2014 and completed
construction in December 2015.
Various fees and assessments are charged by the City to cover the
costs of processing permits and providing services and facilities.
Continue to consider subsidizing, waiving, or deferring fees for
affordable units for very low- and low-income households on a case-
by-case basis. Requests are evaluated based upon the
development's effectiveness and efficiency in achieving the City's
underserved housing needs, particularly extremely low and special

The City of Chula Vista was invited by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to apply for a Promise Zone designation in November 2013. The
Promise Zones initiative primarily focuses on revitalizing areas that are experiencing high
poverty rates across the Country by attracting private investment, improving affordable
housing, improving educational opportunities, creating jobs, reducing serious and violent
crime, and assisting local leaders in navigating federal programs and cutting through red
tape. The City of Chula Vista did not receive the Promise Zone designation, however, Staff

Name of Program
Continue to incorporate public input and participation in the design
and development of City housing plans and policies.1 2021
The City continues to provide opportunity for public input for all plans and policies. The
Mobilehome and Trailer Park Conversion Ordinance (CVMC 9.40) update included an
extensive outreach process that included bilingual meetings and materials at each step of
the process. The City also took similar measures to look at a variety of policies and
ordinances through the Affordable Housing Working Group.
The 2013-2020 Housing Element update involved a range of public outreach efforts
including several public workshops, and a detailed survey available online and at City Hall.
The City Council approved the Draft 2013-2020 Housing Element for public review in
December 2012 and was approved by HCD in April 2013.
Development of a City-wide policy to provide services to persons
with limited English proficiency with the goal of providing such
persons with better access to verbal and written information
provided by the City, specifically related to affordable housing
resources and programs for low-and moderate-income households.
1 2021
The City continues to provide bilingual materials for all housing program marketing materials
and provides translation services as needed. In late 2014 the City began evaluating
translation service language on all meeting agendas related to Housing and altered agendas
to include a request for translation services.
Develop and maintain outreach or other appropriate marketing
materials identifying available housing resources and programs
available in the City of Chula Vista, including affordable housing
developments, to ensure existing and potential residents are aware
of affordable housing opportunities. Information and materials are to
be available via the City's website and the Development Services
front counters.
1 2021
Staff continues to provide updated housing resource information as needed on the City's
website and at the public counters. In 2013, staff created a unique Housing Division logo,
which has been helpful in identifying the City's participation in various programs and
services. Additionally, staff updated several of the City's housing program flyers, including
the First-time Homebuyer, Affordable Rental Housing, and Community Housing
Improvement Program flyers, all of which are available at the front counters. The City also
displays materials for Fair Housing services, Foreclosure Intervention services,
Homelessness services, and community resources at the public counters.
In 2015 the City conducted a comprehensive update of the website. All of the marketing
materials and resources described above are incorporated.
Provide an annual report to the City Council on the City’s existing
housing stock and policies in relation to progress in implementing
the policies of the Housing Element. The annual report shall also be
made available for review in public locations.
1 Annually
Since 2008, the Housing Advisory and Mobilehome Rent Review Commissions have met
annually to review Housing Element progress made during the previous year. It is
anticipated that the groups will meet again this April in their annual joint meeting to discuss
relevant housing issues to each group. In addition, the City Council is presented with the
report annually in an open public meeting.

THE CHULA VISTA HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Senate Bill 341 (SB 341) became effective on January 1, 2014, requiring each housing
successor agency that assumed the housing functions of a former redevelopment agency
to post a report on its website containing information regarding the low and moderate
income housing asset funds of the former redevelopment agency for the previous fiscal
year.
In addition, Housing Successor Agency is required to conduct and provide an independent
financial audit of the Fund within six months of the end of the fiscal year. The Audit may be

Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) has been prepared pursuant to California Health
and Safety Code Section 34176.1(f). This Report sets forth certain details of the Chula
Vista Housing Successor (Housing Successor) activities during fiscal year 2014-2015

budget approved by the City Manager with quarterly reports demonstrating adherence to the budget
and the Core Agreement.
2.Term
a.Term. After a transition period from April 1, 2016 until December 31, 2016,
commencing January 1, 2017, PLT shall have the right and obligation to operate the Agreement for a
period of up to ten (10) years (until December 31, 2026). This includes an eight (8) year initial term
and a two (2) year extension at PLT’s discretion. Extension terms beyond 10 years are possible, up
to an additional ten (10) years, subject to each party’s approval in its sole discretion.
b.PLT’s Early Termination Right. PLT may initiate a potential early termination of the
Agreement in the event of substantial operating deficits by providing written notice after four (4) years
of operation. In such event, the parties agree to meet and confer in good faith for at least three (3)
months in order to determine if there are mutually agreeable terms to continue PLT’s operations for
the remainder of the Term, or beyond. In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement,
PLT can elect to terminate the Agreement with adequate notice to City to allow City to transition
operations to another provider, or terminate (City is proposing 9 to 12 months).

but have not yet reached agreement. Any such provisions will be presented to the City
Council in the final agreement.

c.City CVTC Coordinator/Liaison. There shall be a CVTC “Coordinator/Liaison” to be
employed by City, or a non-profit created thereby (“City Coordinator/Liaison”). The City
Coordinator/Liaison shall be responsible for City’s obligations with respect to CVTC operations, shall
assist with marketing of the CVTC, and shall be PLT’s point of contact with the City. PLT shall
provide the City Coordinator Liaison with full access to the CVTC, along with reasonable office space
and reasonable office support services at Operator’s cost. Until December 31, 2021, City shall
consult with PLT in advance of hiring, material changes in employment or termination of this position.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate decisions regarding hiring, managing or terminating the
City Coordinator/Liaison shall be at City’s discretion.
d.Facility Operations Advisory Committee (“FOAC”). City envisions representative(s)
from USOC, Easton, PLT, City and CVTC coaches/athletes to share ideas and issues relative to
CVTC operations. This entity shall have no decision making or governance function but shall be
consulted from time to time for its input on CVTC operations and policy. This entity shall have not
less than 20% CVTC resident athlete representation. The FOAC could potentially serve as the agent
for administering the annual review process [Section 11], and/or the “athlete representative” function
[Section 30] required under the Core Agreement.
5.Revenues/Compensation
a.In General.All CVTC revenues generated by PLT’s operations of CVTC shall go to
CVTC operations and maintenance as PLT shall direct, consistent with terms of Business Plan and

amount proposed is $300,000), or a percentage of CVTC gross revenues (current percentage
proposed is 10%) (“Operator Fee”). The Operator Fee shall be payable out of CVTC revenues on an
annual basis, in arrears (“Operator Fee”). Starting in calendar year 2018, and each year of the term
thereafter, the Operator Fee shall be payable monthly out of CVTC revenues based upon PLT’s
revenue projections for that calendar year, subject to a year-end reconciliation.
Note: Still under negotiation is what happens if adequate revenues are not available to pay
City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/18/2016Page 4 of 8
powered by Legistar™2016-03-22 Agenda Packet Page 87
File#:16-0149, Item#: 3.
PLT its “Operator Fee” without creating an operating deficit. PLT has proposed carrying
forward and accruing interest on any unpaid “Operator Fee” amounts, with priority payment of
such amounts out of future “Surplus Revenues” (see below).
c.Special Revenues. City receive all revenues from certain special events sponsored/co
-sponsored by City at the CVTC to be defined in the Agreement provided that City shall manage, pay
all expenses, including applicable insurance costs, and.
d.Surplus Revenues. To extent any “surplus revenues” are generated from PLT’s
operations of the CVTC (to be defined) (“Surplus Revenues”), then (a) 20% of such Surplus
Revenues shall be dedicated towards agreed upon “CVTC Special Projects” (to be defined by the
parties mutually, but generally CVTC facility additions or enhancements) and (b) 80% of such
Surplus Revenues shall be paid to PLT as an additional fee for PLT’s services under the Agreement.
Some portion of the 80% of “Surplus Revenues” payable to PLT shall be dedicated by PLT towards
enhancing or adding to existing PLT projects or programs benefitting Chula Vista residents or
students. PLT is currently proposing 10%. “Surplus Revenues” shall be determined annually, in
arrears, based upon a reconciliation of revenues generated and costs incurred for that budget year,
after funding required operational and capital reserves, and paying off, in order, any
operational/capital costs for the current year under the approved Budget, and any “Deferred Operator
Expenses” (defined below) that may have been carried forward from any previous year(s).
Note: These percentages may change in the final agreement depending upon the
outcome of other items pending resolution.
e.Loss Recovery. The Operator shall be responsible for the payment of all losses
resulting from the operation of the CVTC except to the extent that such losses are caused by costs
expressly allocated to the City under the Agreement (the “Deferred Operator Losses”). The amount
of Deferred Operator Losses from each year of operations, plus interest to accrue on the outstanding
balance of such losses at a rate based on PLT’s cost of funds per annum, shall be recovered by the
Operator from subsequent year’s revenues from operations after first paying all required operating
expenses.
Note: A key element of this provision is that except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, PLT is bearing the responsibility for any CVTC operating deficit. The
interest factor and the priority of this payment relative to other CVTC expenses are still
being negotiated.
f.City Responsibility for Certain Costs. City shall be solely responsible for payment of
each of the following expenses on a timely basis, and the Operator shall have no obligation at any
time to pay any of the following expenses: (1) all costs to investigate and/or remediate any
environmentally sensitive materials and/or hazardous materials or substances at the CVTC existing
prior to the Transfer, (2) City’s violation of any and all obligations under the Core Agreement that
expressly remain City’s responsibilities under the Agreement, (3) events hosted, sponsored or
organized by the City and agreed to by the Operator to be held at the CVTC, (4) all costs necessary
to change the signage at the CVTC, or on any off-site locations including on public streets, and (5)
any taxes or fees imposed on City directly.

Note: City and PLT are still negotiating terms for what happens if there is an

WHEREAS, the USOC wishes to transfer to the City the OTC, including the land upon
which the OTC is situated and OTC operations, as set forth in an attendant agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to accept said transfer and continue to operate the OTC as a
training site for Olympic and elite level athletes; and
WHEREAS, to further the goal of operating the OTC as a training site for Olympic and
elite level athletes, the City desires to contract with Point Loma Trust (“PLT”) for said
operations and seeks to enter in an operating agreement (“Operating Agreement”) with PLT; and
WHEREAS, PLT was chosen to contract with via a selection process which began in July
2015, when the City issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for an operator. Eleven
potential operators responded. Through a series of evaluations, the City and the USOC narrowed
the selection and ultimately selected PLT, an affiliate of Point Loma Nazarene University
(“PLNU”), as its preferred operator; and
WHEREAS, PLT was selected because of PLNU’s experience with operating high
quality sports facilities, buildings, residence halls and dining facilities; its understanding of the
need to market the facility for additional revenue generation that complements the core business
such as increased use by international athletes, grass root camps, hosting additional NGB’s, sport
and teambuilding clinics; its existing investment in Chula Vista with their relationship with
Southwestern College; its acceptance and desire to embrace and promote the vision of the City
and the USOC regarding the Olympic movement and support of Olympic and elite level athletes
training at the center; its desire to exceed the expectations of USOC and the City; its desire to
develop strategic partnerships with, and to maintain or enhance service levels for Easton Archery
Center of Excellence; and its willingness to bear risks of operating deficits; and
WHEREAS, City Staff, in this Resolution’s attendant Staff report, presented proposed
terms (“Terms”) for said Operating Agreement between the City and PLT; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
that it does hereby approve the proposed Terms for an Operating Agreement between the City
and PLT, in substantially the form presented to City Counsel via this Resolution’s attendant Staff
report, with such minor modifications as maybe required or approved by the City Attorney, and
authorizes and directs the City’s negotiating team to proceed with negotiations with PLT,
