Southern California Veterans Home to advise the Governor and the Legislature on the

Iow or moderate incomes; and,

developing the Veterans Home in Chula Vista would be very significant; and,

Hospital School Site with the Sweetwater Union High School District.
WHEREAS, the City/Agency has conceptually approved the donation of land for the
building of a Veterans Home facility at the Hospital School Site property which consists of
30.06 gross acres of undeveloped land located on the east side of Medical Center Drive,
between East Naples court and Medical Center Court in the City of Chula Vista; provided
that the site is selected for development by the State of California, and recognizing the
nature of the facility warrants relief from certain development fees;and
WHEREAS, by using the standard formula for determining the sewer capacity fee
would result in an approximate fee of $307,000 for this facility.
WHEREAS, The City has requested that State pay this fee in order to defray the
sewer infrastructure cost to the City.
WHEREAS, The State has not agreed to pay such amount due to lack of funding
has requested that the City pay this amount in connection with the development of the
project.

project of no greater than $58,000 unless the State agrees to pay.
