RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH SAN
DIEGO EXPRESSWAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (SDELP)
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATE ROUTE-125
THROUGH THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the State Route-125 (SR-125) Toll Road is a major part of Chula Vista's
Circulation element in our General Plan; and
WHEREAS, it is crucial for development of eastern Chula Vista that this facility be
constructed in the next few years; and
WHEREAS, due to lack of regional funding, it is necessary that this freeway be
constructed by a private entity and operate as a toll road; and
WHEREAS, the facility will be constructed between the connector at San Miguel Road in
Bonita to the SR-905 interchange in Otay Mesa with the connector between San Miguel Road
and SR-54 being paid for by SANDAG; and
WHEREAS, the total cost for the toll road is $390 million and the connector and gap on
SR-54, to be built by SDELP for SANDAG, will cost another $140 million; and
WHEREAS, California Transportation Ventures, Inc. (CTV) general partner of San
Diego Expressway Limited Partnership (SDELP), builder of SR-125, have been negotiating an
agreement with staff for the construction of SR- 125 through City of Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, the agreement is now ready for Council approval; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines;
therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not
subject to CEQA, thus, no environmental review is necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby approve the Agreement with San Diego Expressway Limited partnership (SDELP)
for the construction of SR-125 through City of Chula Vista, a copy of which shall be kept on file
in the Office of the City Clerk.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said Agreement on behalf of the City.
