Resolution No. 1638 Page 2 of 4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Redevelopment Agency and City Council of the City of Chula Vista do hereby find, order, determine and resolve as follows: 1. Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-99-21, and the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are hereby adopted and determined to be prepared in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. 2. All required owner participation rights pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33339 with respect to the owners of the Rados Parcel have been extended and waived. 3. The hearing required by the Health and Safety Code Section 33431 and 33433 was duly called, noticed and held in the manner required by law, and all conditions precedent required by law to be performed have been duly performed. 4. The Section 33433 Report has been prepared, and filed in the Office of the City Clerk and in the Office of the Executive Director, and made available for public inspection and copying, all in the manner required by law. 5. All protests, if any, to the proposed Project, and the transfer of the properties contemplated therein, were made and received at said public hearing. 6. The City Council does hereby find that the consideration to be received for the Agency Parcels which is the subject matter of the RA is not less than fair market value in accordance with covenants and conditions governing the transfer; and further, if the transfer of the designated parcels should be determined to be at less than estimated value, determined at the highest use permitted under the plan, such lesser consideration is necessary to effectuate the purposes of the plan. 7. The City Council does hereby approve the transfer of the Agency Parcels in the manner set forth in the RA. 8. It is in the best interests of the community, the City and the Agency that the Agency Parcels be transferred to BFG without public bid. 9. The financial assistance provided to BFG under the RA pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 334446 is necessary for the economic feasibility of the development and the assistance cannot be obtained on economically feasible terms in the private market. BFG has indicated that it could not and would not proceed with the RA project without such financial assistance based upon its analysis of the investment value being lost in the relocation and the new investment required. The Agency has considered and approves this analysis. Furthermore, the nature of the financing assistance is unique and could not be duplicated in the private marketplace. 10. The RA is consistent with and implements the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan. The RA contributes to the elimination of blight in the following ways: a. The demolition of vacant, dilapidated, and burned out industrial building ion the Rados properly and subsequent transfer to BFG as part of their consolidated campus. b. The transfer of the unimproved Agency's Bay Boulevard properties to BFG as part of their consolidated campus. c. The clean-up of soils contamination, if any, on the Rados and Bay Boulevard properties. d. The demolition of underutilized buildings on the south campus over the four year Resolution No. 1638 Page 3 of 4 relocation period creating an opportunity for plann ~d and coordinated redevelopment adjacent to the Chula Vista Marina. e. The investigation, characterization and ultimately th~ clean-up of soils and groundwater contamination on the south campus consistent witl future development that otherwise would not have occurred in the foreseeable future. f. Potential for improving the traffic circulation, currE r~tly constrained by poor east-west vehicular access, including the extension of "H" Street and realignment of Marina Parkway that will increase the developability of vaca )t and/or underutilized properties. g. Private investment of approximately $47 million in the modernization and physical improvement of a major manufacturing facility and nployer in Chula Vista. 11. In consideration of the above, the City Coun, and Agency hereby approve and authorize the execution of the Relocation Agreement by and between the City of Chula Vista, Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, San Diego Unified Port District, and F~ohr, Inc. operating as BFGoodrich Aerospace Aerostructures Group in substantially the form presented with such minor modifications as may be required or approved by the City Attorney.
