COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: _~
Meeting Date: August 13. 2002
ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the City of Chula Vista Council waiving the City's
formal bidding process and approving a four-party agreement between the
City of Chula Vista; Helix Enviromnentai Planning, Inc., Consultant; and
Otay Project, LP and McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC, Applicants, for
mitigation monitoring services to be rendered for Olympic Parkway
between Brandywine Avenue and SR-125 and authorizing the Mayor to

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and Building/~Z
REVIEWED BY: City Manager {4/Sths Vote: Yes No X )
In compliance with State Law, a mitigation monitoring and reporting program was adopted by the
City for the Olympic Parkway Extension project. State Law requires public agencies to adopt such
programs to ensure effective implementation of required mitigation measures. This report requests
that the City Council approve the proposed four-party agreement between the City, Helix
Environmental Planning, Inc. (Consultant), McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC (Applicant), and Otay
Project, LP (Applicant) for a total of $97,400 for mitigation monitoring services to be rendered for
the segment of Olympic Parkway from Brandywine Avenue to SR-125 for a period of five years.
The mitigation monitoring services required consist primarily of post-construction monitoring of
created biological habitat, which requires a minimum of five years of maintenance and monitoring
to ensure successful wetland, upland, and aquatic habitat creation pursuant to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, Cahfornia Department of Fish and Game, and Califomia Regional Water Quality
Control Board permits issued for the project; hence, the base five-year term of the proposed
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution waiving the City's formal bidding process and
approving a four-party agreement between the City of Chula Vista; Helix Environmental
Planning, Inc., Otay Project, LP, and McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC, for mitigation monitoring
services to be rendered for Olympic Parkway between Brandywine Avenue and SR-125 and

for the Olympic Parkway Extension. In accordance with CEQA, MND No. IS-99-20 includes a

Meeting Date: August 13~ 2002
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). At this time, City staff resources arc
insufficient to perform all monitoring tasks; therefore, staff recommends that a consultant be
returned to assist in the final implementation of the MMRP. City staff in the Environmental
Planning Section will supervise the mitigation monitoring tasks in the adopted MMRP for Olympic
Parkway between Brandywine Avenue and SR-125.
This consultant would function as the Environmental Monitor Specialist (Biologist) for the City
of Chula Vista. The Environmental Monitor Specialist (Biologist) will conduct mitigation
monitoring and reporting activities associated with created native wetland and upland habitat,
with the primary tasks consisting of post-construction monitoring and reporting activities.
Consultant Services Selection Process
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council waive the City's formal bidding process on the
grounds that the City is in immediate need of an experienced Environmental Monitor Specialist
(Biologist) that is familiar with the policies and procedures of the City, the State of California
and federal resource agencies, and with the California Environmental Quality Act. Under the
City's permits with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Game,
and California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the project, the City is obligated to
conduct a minimum of five years of maintenance and monitoring to ensure successful wetland,
upland, and aquatic habitat creation following the City's acceptance of plant installation. The
City's acceptance of plant installation for the project is anticipated to be granted shortly, at which
time a biologist will be needed to commence the five-year maintenance and monitoring program.
In order to expedite processing the requested contract, staff initiated an informal consultant
selection process and solicited proposals from three environmental consultants. The not-to-
exceed project costs of the three proposals ranged from $94,182 to $100,597. Subsequent to the
submission of the proposals and the selection of Helix Environmental Planning, Inc. by the
Environmental Review Coordinator, the scope of work was defined in greater detail and an
agreement was negotiated. For the reasons stated below, City staff recommends Helix
Environmental Planning, Inc. for this project at a not-to-exceed cost of $97,400.
The Environmental Review Coordinator and the project applicant have determined that Helix
Environmental Planning has demonstrated a unique and comprehensive familiarity with the project
area and the MMRP, which is necessary for timely and adequate mitigation monitoring and
reporting. Helix Environmental Planning's proposal was more comprehensive and detailed with
respect to the scope of work and cost breakdown than the other proposals and included a greater
number of field visits and monitoring reports than the other proposal which contained this level of
specificity at a very similar cost. Additionally, Helix Environmental Planning has demonstrated
unique qualifications to serve as the Consultant for this contract because of their experience and
expertise with projects of a similar nature, their experience with the State of California and federal
resource agencies, their grasp of the project's complexities, and their project experience within the
City of Chula Vista and the region.

Meeting Date: Anl!nst 13. 2002
The Consultant represents that they are experienced and staffed in a manner such that they can
prepare and deliver the required services to the City within the necessary timefuunes. The
Environmental Review Coordinator has negotiated the details of these agreements in accordance
with procedures set forth in the City's Environmental Review Procedures.
Scope-of-Work
Helix Environmental Planning will function as the Environmental Monitor Specialist (Biologist)
for the City of Chula Vista under the supervision of the City's Environmental Review
Coordinator. The responsibilities of the Environmental Monitor Specialist (Biologist) will
consist of conducting monitoring and reporting activities associated with created riparian habitat
within the manmade Poggi Canyon drainage channel, which runs along Olympic Parkway rrom
approximately Brandywine Avenue to planned State Route 125, as well as created upland habitat
within the channel buffer area, located predominantly within the master planned community
commonly known as Otay Ranch SPA One and SPA One West.
Contract Payment
The not-to-exceed amount for this four-party agreement is $97,400 for five years of mitigation
monitoring services. The project applicants will also reimburse any City staff time associated
with implementation ofthe MMRP through a separate deposit account.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
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 l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMP ACT: There would be no impact to the General Fund. The project applicants for the
segment of Olympic Parkway between Brandywine Avenue and SR-125, McMillin Otay Ranch,
LLC and Otay Project, LP, through a deposit account, will pay Helix Environmental Planning's
consulting fees.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item
Meeting Date 8/13/2002
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Approving the proposed extension o£the agreement
between the City of Chula Vista, the Spring Valley Sanitation District and
the City of San Diego for transportation of wastewater in the Spring
Valley joint system for an ad,tdit~gnal ten years
^~fl /
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/Il~'
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~O~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X)
Due to the other jurisdictions along the northerly border of the City (i.e. National City, County of
San Diego), the City of Chula Vista many years ago, determined that it was more efficient to
enter into an agreement with the County of San Diego's Spring Valley Sanitation District to
utilize the available capacity within their trunk sewer line to serve those residents within the
City's jurisdiction who reside along the northerly border of the City
Approximately 3 million gallons per day of sewage discharged from the northern part of the City
of Chula Vista flows into the Spring Valley trunk line. This sewage is ultimately discharged into
the City of San Diego's Metro Interceptor, which conveys the flow to the treatment plant in Point
Loma. The City of Chula Vista has used this facility since 1964 under agreement with the
County and has paid for the use of this facility.
On May 20, 1997, Council by Resolution 18671 approved a new six-year agreement with the
District to provide for the maintenance and operation of this line. This agreement had a provision
which allowed the City to extend the terms of the agreement for an additional ten-year period.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve the resolution authorizing the proposed
extension of the agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the Spring Valley Sanitation
District for an additional ten- year period ending in June 2013.
BOARDS / COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On March 9, 1964, Council by Resolution 3262 approved an agreement with the City of San
Diego and Spring Valley Sanitation District for the joint use of the trunk line. Several other
agencies ("Out-of-Disthct Users") also signed an agreement with the County for the use of this
line. These agencies currently include: Lemon Grove, City of San Diego, La Mesa, and Otay
Water District.
Subsequently, on May 20, 1997, Council by Resolution 18671 approved a new six-year
agreement with Spring Valley Sanitation District to provide for the maintenance and operation of
this line. Under the terms of the agreement, the City of Chula Vista had capacity rights to
Page 2, Item ?
Meeting Date 8/13/2002
discharge peak flows not to exceed 17.64 cubic feet per second (11.4 million gallons per day)
into the Spr/ng Valley Sanitation District's trunk sewer line.
The current agreement, which took effect on July 1, 1997, is scheduled to expire on June 30,
2003. Section 19.5 of the agreement provided an option to extend the terms of the agreement for
an additional ten-year period provided that the neither the City nor the District was in default on
any of the terms of the agreement. This provision also required the City to initiate the extension
in writing no earlier than 18 months and not later than I2 months prior to the expiration date.
Since the City still needs the facility to provide sewer service to customers within the City's
jurisdiction who live in the northerly portion of the City, and since the City currently discharges
approximately 3 million gallons per day of sewage which is still within our allocated capacity
rights, it is in the City's best interest to extend the agreement for an additional ten-year term.
To that effect, in a letter dated June 18, 2002, addressed to the County of San Diego, (copy
attached) the Director of Public Works indicated the City's intention to request a ten-year
extension of the agreement pending final approval by City Council.
It is staff's recommendation that the City exercise the option to extend the agreement for an
additional ten-year term. Approval of the resolution formally notices the County that the City
intends to seek continuance of the agreement for that additional period as required by the current
agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
Under the terms of the agreement, the City is required to pay its pro-rated share of the
maintenance and operations (M & O) costs of the trunk sewer system. The cost-allocation is
based on the City's overall flow contribution. Recent estimates indicate that the City of Chula
Vista generates approximately 25% of the total flow in the trunk line. For the last six-years the
City's portion of the M & O has averaged approximately $35,000 per year. The City is also
responsible for its pro-rated share of the District's Capital Replacement Costs for this trunk
sewer line. The Capital Replacement Costs vary significantly from year to year depending on the
number of planned improvements to the trunk line. The District provides information on planned
expenditures on an annual basis. Based on this information provided by the District, funds are
budgeted annually from the Sewer Service Revenue Fund to meet the City's obligation.

DISTRICT'S SERVICE CHARGE
The City of San Diego as~m.~es all agencies d~_'ng into the. Metro System for Clean Water
~ al~ malntennr~-~ ;~d Op~ol~ ("M&O') ~ nt a ram p~' miilloll~ of gallons'
of waslrwat~ discharged imo thc 1M~tw sy~ir.m. Since the District's to~l flow is partly composed
of flows from the ODUs, lt~ Dkmict recou~ its coat in paying the Metro Sa-vice Charge by
assessing each ODU a s..-rvice charge based on mc/~red sewage flows or estimatext flows
calculated from EDU cottnta. In Chula Vista's casc, the District's Service Charge was 110
perccm of/he Metro l'at¢ 10er thc City's flow inMO. 100 perecnt ofthc Metro rate charge went
direedy to payin~ the City of San Diego. TI~ t~,,ai,,h~j 10 percent was collected by thc DisUi~
to pay for the M&O costs a.d calv/td/rep/acem~t cds~ of thc District's loint System.
Although ~c Old Agrccn~nt pwvidcd for thc adjustment of the Metro ra~ to reflect actual Metro
system M&O costs, thc Di-~tfict did not adjust i~ 10 percent cash,mia_ to reflect actual Joint ~
M&O costs. The 10 percent basis was a very rca~o~h e~ih,,ate which did not consider other factors
which would more lx~ise;y proportion Cimla V'~ta's share in tl~ Joint System M&O cesta, such
as the location point at ~ich th~ ODU discharges into the Joint System and the proportiomte
At/"ua/, the Metro Service Charg~ were .m~nll, so ~ co~ndlng 10 pel'ce~lt of hNose chargc~
Was I11~0 m~rmll. A~ the Metro Service Charges increased, it was clear that a men: precise
meaixxlolegy was nc~ded t~ enable Chub Vista, as well as tho oth~r ODUs, to pay their share in
Joint Syat~n M&O costs based on a more accurate apprwdmntlon of actual syst~n costs. To
force/he revision of moth¢~iology, Clmla V'~ta withbeld a portion of its annnal payments for the
Distri~'s ,%_xvice Charges in Fiscal Years 1992-93 through 1995-96. The portion withheld was
usually the 10 percent of the District's Sawice Charge in each of the Fiscal Years the payments
wc~ withheld.
In 1994, tl~ City of Chtfla Vista inltiatcd discussiom with the District regarding fair-share
payment of the District's .%trice Charge, suggesting that the methodology be revised to'have the
Joint 5'yaem M&O costs apportione41 ba,~d on th~ amount, and location, of flow discharged by
an ODU. Up to thi~ time, fl~ District's motheds of allocating Wansportation charge to each ODU
wcae not identical. In 1996, the District presen~ a revised agreement (the "Hew Agreement"),
which would be sUbstanti~ly the same for all the ODUs. The provisions regarding fair-share
paymtmt wct-~ r~vlev,,cd and agreed to by the District and the ODU ~ta/fa. leach ODU expressed
support to the District, which was reflected in a County of ,?,an Diego Board Of Supervisors

The revision to thi.~ s_ _~:a_'oE specifi~ ~h~t flow meters shall be of the 'Amscan Digital Systems'
('ADS") brnnd, and shall be annually eah"mat~l at Ch~da Vista ext~ase. It specifies District
access to flow data via "dir.~ct computerized flow monitoring' for iadependent D~ict verification
purposes. This requirement conforms to current City practice.

It limits the e~'Jm~tted in~.tratlon to 10 perc. e~ of the ODU~g discharge to the Joint

The District's Service CTarg¢ still includes 100 percent of each ODU's prorated .~h~re of the
Metro Service Charge a~e. ssed the District by the City of San Diego for M _e~'o M&O co,ts.
However, in~tead of chnrg~g an ~dditional 10 .percent to ix~0up th~ District's Joint System M&O
costs from each ODU, th~ actual annual District M&O costs are distributed among the ODUs
based on the q~nti~y of flow, the length of.pipe the ODU's dischnrge travels through, and tbe
dinme~er~ of this pipe.

RETROACTIVE PAY1VI~
The District ha.~ agreed to waive interest ch~-- ~g~ on the previously w~hheld payments, provided
that the City pays such an~,r~ according lo the schedule'set forth by the District (see
Attactmumt B). The City must pay $191,000 thi.~ fiscal year (prior to July 1, 1997) and ~
rema;,,;,~g mount (total withheld payments mh,,,.q $191,000) next fiscal year (prior to July 1,
1998) to avoid/nterest cluage on the withheld paymel~. The am~ due to th~ District for
~ and operation by the 10 percem fox--da are as follows:
'f;'{vcal Year Amount

FISCAL IMI~ACT:
For ti~ fiscal year, the C~ty will need to makn $191,000 in retroactive payments to the District
from account 29_5-2250-5 202. Next fiscal year the balane~ of withheld paymenta, which is
$576,966, must be entirely paid off. Retroactive payment was anticipated at the time staff
decided to withhold paynim.
Undex the new method, annual billin~ ahould be lower in the long term. The District'a budget
for Fiscal Years 1998-99 t2nxough 2001-02 indic~*__~ tha~ ammal capital replacement projects will
not exceed $550,000 per 3~ar during thi.~ period. Chula V'ma'a abate of the~e eom plus M&O
wonld not be anticipated tx~ exceed $160,000. Co~ this to 10 percent of Metro's projected
etmge during this period (~thieh would average $262 per MO) aM Chula Vista'~ an~eipated flow
rate would yield aa e~ charge of $185,000 to $198,000 per year.
Historical data also sho~, that the r6vised methodology would also have ~aved the City money
up to the year 1993-94. However, from 1995 ~o 1997-98 the Di.~iet has Completed ,ome major
repaim to their txunk llne w. hieh ax:O~ally ma~e the old method nlore advanmgoua up to 1997-'98.
A I-~ 26. 1996 District-prepared comparitive analysis of the Di.~riet'a Service Charge,
'calculated by New Agreement methods verms the Old Agreement method, showed that a net
savi%~ of approximately ~61,013 would have resulted between Fro:al Yearn of 1979-80 through

under appropriate ordinances, resolutions, rules or
regulations. Chula Vista shall regulate and prohibit, the
discharge into any sewer line connected to and served by
District's outfall sewer of sewage and wastes which do not
meet the quality and standards so established by the District.
Chula Vista shall also comply. With the applicable statute~
rules and regulations of agencies of the United States of
America, the State of California, and the City of San DieGo
having jurisdiction over the collection, transmission,
treatment and disposal of sewage and wastes.
Chula Vista shall ensure that its sewage discharge into
the District's outfall sewer meets Section 65, "Prohibitions
On DischarGe of Water Softener Wastes" of the Article VI,
8
"Limitations on use of District Sewage System" of the current
San Diego County Uniform Sewer Ordinance.
B. Chula Vista shall not allow excessive infiltration or
any surface or storm waters to be discharged into any' sewer
system or facilities served by District's~ outfall sewer.
S~t~n 8. METERING. If at any time during the term. of this
agreement the daily flow of sewage into District's outfall sewer
from Chula Vista's sewer lines increases to a point where it is
deemed necessary or desirable by the District to measure all or a
portion of such flow, the District shall make written demand on
Chula Vista that Chula Vista install any and all such meters as
District deems necessary or desirable. Within 365 days after
receipt of such demand, Chula Vista shall at its sole expense,
install such meters at the locations specified by the District.
Said meters and installation shall be respectively of the American
Digital System (~JDS) typ~ and insta%l~d at such locations and in-a
manner approved by District's Engineer. At its own discretion and
upon approval by the District Chula Vista may install meters in
lines maintained by the District or the City of Chula Vista to
measure all or any portion of the sewage discharged into District's
outfall sewer from dhula Vista's connections to said sewer. Such
meters as are installed shall be operated and maintained and
annually calibrated by the City of Chula Vista or its agents, at
9
its sole expense, and be in good working condition for the duration
of this agreement. Flow datainformation obtained from'such meters
will be made available to the District through direct comPuterized
flow monitoring and through quarterly reports provided by the City
of. Chula Vista.
From time to time, the District may at its own discretion
conduct capacity measurements to determine actual peak and average
daily flows through direct computerized flow monitoring. The
results of these measurements may be used to verify, or to cause
Chula Vista or its agents to restore, the accuracy of said meters
installed by Chula Vista.
section 9. PEAK FLOW. For the purposes of this agreement,
"peak flow" shall mean the maximum instantaneous discharge of
sewage expressed as a rate of flow in cubic feet per second (cfs).
During the term of this agreement Chula Vista shall have the right
to discharge peak flow into the District's outfall sewer not .to
exceed 17.64 cubic feet per second, and the District shall have the
obligation to receive such peak flow from Chula Vista. Temporary
increases in the permitted peak flow resulting from rainfall shall
not be considered violations of this agreement; provided, however,
that the District i~ not obligated to receive from Chula Vista nor
is Chula Vista privileged to discharge into District's outfall
sewer any amounts in excess of the permitted peak flow under this
10
agreement which could endanger the pu~.lic health or safety.
If Chula Vista exceeds the permitted peak flow on-more than a
temporary basis (no more than thirty consecutive days in each
fiscal year) and such excess is caused by a defect in the sewer
system of Chula Vista capable of being corrected or the excess is
caused by the discharge into the sewer system of Chula Vista by a
sewer user of a large quantity of sewage in a short period of time,
then Chula Vista shall cause such defect to be corrected to prevent
the excess or shall cause the sewer user to construct and operate
appropriate facilities to spread the discharge of sewage into its
sewer system so as to reduce the peak flow to the permitted
quantity. If the excess over the permitted peak flow results from
an increase in the quantity of sewage not contemplated by the
District and Chula Vista and does not arise from any causes
hereinabove mentioned, Chuia Vista shall forthwith make such
adjustments in its sewerage system ~a~'are necessary to reduce t.~e
peak flow to the permitted quantity.
If the excessive peak flow from Chula Vista's connections to
District's outfall sewer causes the District to exceed its
permitted peak flow into the Metropolitan System as determined by
Section 21 of the "Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960" between the
District and San Diego, and because of such excess the District is
required to pay additional sums of money to San Diego for such
11
excess capacity use as specified ig said Section 21 of said
agreement, Chula Vista shall reimburse the District for the portion
of such amount which are allocable to Chula Vista's excess peak
flow.
~ecJziDD_lfl. INFILTRATION. It is understood and agreed that
there will be inflow of water into District's outfall sewer because
of leakage between the point or points at which the sewage from the
public agencies using said sewer is delivered to District's outfall
sewer and the connection of the outfall to the Metropolitan System.
The District shall estimate the total waters that infiltrated the
District's outfall sewer (sometimes referred to herein as
"infiltration") by analyzing meter readings and counts of
Equivalent Dwelling Units (hereinafter referred to as "EDUs") and
apportion the same amongst all of such usersin the proportion that
the amount of sewage discharged into the District's outfall sewer
by each such user bears to_ the ~otal amount of the sewage
discharged into the District's outfall sewer by all of such users
of said sewer. However, the amount of infiltration apportioned to
each such user shall not exceed 10% of the amount of sewage
discharged into the Spring Valley Sewer System by each such user.
Such amount shall b~ deemed a part of the sewage of such user for
all purposes.
S~a?dlion__ll. AREA CHARGE. Prior to the construction or
12
installation of each connection into District's outfall sewer,
Chula Vista shall pay to the District a connection charge of
One Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($130.00) per gross acre for each
acre of land (including streets, easements and all public and
private lands) within the area to be served by said connection as
shown on the map filed pursuant to Section 5 of this agreement. In
the event of fractions of an acre said sum shall be prorated
accordingly. It is contemplated that if this agreement is renewed
for additional periods of time this gross acreage fee will not be
charged for any land for which an acreage fee was previously
charged and paid.
~ac~LioD_12. SERVICE C~ARGE.
1. I~metered Connection. Chula Vista shall pay to
the District a monthly service charge for the actual
Metro Maintenance add Operation (Metro M & O) cost .~s
requested by the City of San Diego for Chula Vista's
discharge into the Metropolitan System through District's
outfall sewer. In case of dispute with the City of San
Diego in the amount of said charges, Chula Vista shall
make payments of such charges under protest; if the final
resolution of the dispute results in a reduced charge,
the amount of said charges over-paidby Chula Vista shall
13
be credited to Chula Vista,.towards its payment to the
District for future said charges.
This Metro Service Charge shall be applicable to all
family units, commercial, industrial and any Other type
of users within the City of Chula Vista that are served
by a sewer system connected to the District's outfall
sewer. The Metro service charge shall be based on a flow
of 240 gallons per day per EDU being serviced by
District's sewer system, as reported by Chula Vista, or
the flow rate deter~ned in accordance with subparagraph
2 below and computed as follows:
(a) The term "EDU" as used in this agreement
shall mean a single family dwelling unit or each
single family dwelling unit in a duplex, multiple
dwelling or apartment house. The nu~%ber of EDUs
for each ~ategok-y of U'Se shall be assigned by Chul~
Vista and approved by District. Chula Vista may
use the current County Uniform Sewerage Ordinance
to establish EDUs for both residential and
commercial/industrial EDUs with the exception that
if the flow is unmetered, the flow per' EDU shall
remain 240 gallons per day. Where a hotel, motel,
trailer court, commercial or industrial
14
establishment or other type of enterprise or
operation which normally generates a different
volume of sewage than a single family dwelling is
being served by District's outfall sewer; Chula
Vista, with approval of the District, shall assign
to each such establishment, enterprise or operation
a number of EDUs in proportion to the estimated
amount of sewage generated. Said number of EDUs so
assigned 'shall be used in computing the amount of
sewage discharged into the District's outfall
sewer. Said assignment shall be made for each such
establishment, enterprise or operation being served
by the District's outfall sewer on the date when
sewage is first discharged from Chula Vista's
sewers into District's outfall sewer under the
terms of this a_~reeme~t. ._
Thereafter, upon the connection of any such
establishment, enterprise or operation to a sewer
line being Served by District's outfall sewer, or
upon the change in use of any property within Chula
vist~ which is served by District's outfall sewer,
which' change in use would affect the volume of
sewage generated by such property, Chula Vista
15
shall report to the District the date of such
connection or change in use and' assign an
appropriate number of EDUs to such property with
approval of the District's Engineer.
(b) Chula Vista shall report to District
quarterly the number of EDUs within Chula Vista
being served by District's outfall sewer for all
unmetered connections to said outfall sewer.
(c) The Metro service charge shall be based
upon the number of EDUs being served at the
cormmencement of the quarter within which such month
falls, for all unmetered connections.

~. C~ARGE AGAINST CAPACITY RIGHTS IN METROPOLITAN
S~STEM.
A. All sewage discharged into District's outfall sewer
through Chula Vista's connections, under the .terms of this
agreement and thereafter discharged into the San Diego
Metropolitan Sewerage System, and all infiltration allocable
to Chula Vista as determined by Section 10 of this agreement,
shall be charged against Chula Vista's Capacity rights in and
to the Metropolitan System as such rights have been determined
bY that certain agreement between the City of San Diego and
the City of Chula Vista entitled "Sewage Disposal Agreement of
1960" and dated Jun~ 1~ 1961. The average daily flow of such
sewage to be so. cha~ged a~ains~ 'Chula Vista's capacity rights

agreement, shall be divided by the number of days within
said year. The result shall be added to the result of
subparagraph 3 of this Section 13.
3. That portion of said sewage not measured by
meters shall be determinedby the EDU system as specified
in Section 12 of this agreement. The average number of
EDUs served daily under the terms of this agreement shall
be multiplied by 240 gallons. Said average shall be
computed by averagin~ the humber of EDUs being served_by
the District's outfal! sewer, as reported quarterly
during the fiscal year (as specified in said "Sewage
Disposal Agreement of 1960") by Chula Vista pursuant to
Section 12 of this agreement.
B. The ~mount of. sewage to be charged against the
District's capacity rights in and to the Metropolitan System
under the aforementioned "Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960"
22
between the City of SanDiego and the Spring Valley Sanitation
District, shall be computed by di¥iding the total number of
gallons of sewage and infiltrated waters discharged into the
Metropolitan System from the District's outfall sewer during
the fiscal year (as specified in said "Sewage Disposal
Agreement of 1960") by the number of days within said year and
subtracting therefrom the amount of sewage allocable to Chula
Vista as computed in accordance with subdivision A this
Section 13; the amount of sewage discharged into said outfall
sewer by San Diego pursuant to Sections 6, 7 and 9 of that
certain agreement between the District and San Diego entitled
"Agreement Between Spring Valley Sanitation District and the
City of San Diego re Spring Valley Sanitation District Outfall
Sewer" and dated April 11, 1962, as said agreement has
heretofore or as it hereafter may be amended; and the amount
of sewage discharge~ into ~aid 96tfall sewer by other agenci~
pursuant to other such agreements divided by the number of
days within said fiscal year~
C. Chula Vista and Spring Valley shall submit reports to
the City of San Diego annually allocating the sewage which
originates within their respective geographical areas of
jurisdiction for purposes of determining whether either party
has exceeded the capacity service previously allocated under
23
their respective .Sewage Disposal'~greements of 1960 with the
City of San Diego.

other causes beyond the District's control, it becomes necessary
for the District to undertake major reconstruction, replacement or
repairs of said outfall sewer or any portion thereOf, Chula Vista
shall reimburse the District for a proportionate share of the net
costs of such reconstruction, replacement or repairs. The amount
to be paid by Chula Vista to the District shall bear the same ratio
to the total costs to the Spring Valley Sanitation District of such
reconstruction, replacement or repairs as the amount of sewage
discharged into District's outfall sewer from Chula Vista's
connections to said outfall sewer bears to the total amount of
sewage discharged into said outfatl sewer at the time when said
reconstruction, replacement or repairs becomes necessary, which
amount of sewage discharged into District's outfall sewer from
Chula Vista's connections to said outfall sewer shall be deemed to
be the amount of sewage.allocable to Chula Vista as last computed
for purposes of this Section 13 of this agreement. Any obligation
on the part of San Diego to contribute for a proportionate share of
such costs of reconstruction, replacement or repairs shall be
governed by the provisions of that certain a~reement between San

26
reimburse the District for a Proportignate share of any costs of
such additions or improvements which the District is 'required to
pay to San Diego under the terms of said "Sewage Disposal Agreement
of 1960". The proportion of the costs to be paid by Chula Vista to
the District shall bear the same ratio to the total costs to the
District of such additions or improvements as the amount of sewage
discharged into District's outfall sewer from Chula Vista's
connections to said sewer bears to the total amount of sewage
discharged into said outfall sewer on the date when the District
first uses such additions or improvements, which amount shall be
deemed to be the amount of sewage allocable to Chula Vista as last
computed for purposes of Section 13 of this agreement.

Vista executed the "Agreement Between the City of Chula Vista and the Spring Valley Sanitation
District for the Transportation of Wastewater in the Spring Valley Joint System" (copy attached)
wherein provisions were made for the conveyance of sewage from Chula Vista in Spring Valley
Sanitation DisWict's trunk sewer ("Ouffall') to the San Diego Metropolitan Sewerage System.
Under the terms of the agreement, the City of Chula Vista had the right to discharge peak flows into the
District's Outfall sewer not to exceed 17.64 cfs (11.401 mgd) for a 6-year peri.od ending JUne 2003.
The agreement also provides for an extension of the agreement for another ten years provided that the
request was made in writing no later than one year prior to the expiration of the agreement.
Currently, the City of Chula Vista discharges an average daily flow of 3.052 mgd (est. Peak Flows of
5.175mgd.), which complies with the terms of the agreement. Since, the City s. till needs to provide
service to areas along the northerly border of the City, which are tributary to the outfall, we hereby
request that the agreement be extended and the service continued for an additional ten-year period subject
to City Council approval.
Therefore, since this request is still subject to our City CoUncil approval, this letter will serve as City of
Chula Vista's statement of intention. In the interim, we will work on the details of taking the agreement
to our City Council for final ratification within the next few weeks. It is my understanding that the
County Board of Supervisors does not need to ratify the extension~ therefore, approval by our Council
will be the only action required to facilitate the extension of this agreement for an additional 10 years,
terminating in June 2013.
If you have any questions or need clarifications regarding this request, please call me at (619) 691-
5294. Thank you very much for your assistance on this issue.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~or~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes X No
The Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor is a 12.5-mile sewer line that is being built to serve
certain developments in the eastern territories and a portion of the developed portion of the City
within the Main Street Basin. The project was originally funded based on preliminary
engineering studies prepared for the project. However, having completed the design plans for the
project and received bids on two phases of the project, recent engineering estimates indicate that
additional funds are needed to complete the project. The approval of these resolutions will
l~acilitate the completion of all the remaining phases of the project, and the award of the contract
to Cass construction for the construction of Phase III of the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the following resolutions:
1. Appropriating $2,524,596 from the Available Fund Balance in the Trunk Sewer
Capital Reserve Fund as a loan to the Salt Creek Gravity Basin DIF Fund,
appropriating $10,182,824 from the Available Fund Balance in the Trunk Sewer
Capital Reserve Fund to the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Project (SW219), and
appropriating $2,524,596 in unanticipated loan proceeds and $850,000 from the
Available Fnnd Balance in the Salt Creek Gravity Basin D1F Fund to the Salt Creek
Gravity Sewer Project (SW219).

Meeting Date 8/13/02
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Background
On, December 6, 1994 upon completion of the "Salt Creek Gravity Basin Plan" by Wilson
Engineering, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2617, establishing the Salt Creek Gravity Basin
Development Impact Fee (DIF) as a funding mechanism for the construction of the Salt Creek
Gravity Sewer Interceptor. The basin plan split the project into nine reaches, numbered 1 through
9 as shown on Exhibit No. 1. The cost o£Reaches 1 through 8 formed the basis of the DIF and
Reach 9 was classified as a regional £acility and as such was considered a City obligation. It was
recommended that Reach 9 be funded utilizing the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds which is
derived from capacity fees paid by every property connected to the system.
However, prior to the formation of the DIF, development began in the upstream portion o£ the
Salt Creek basin (i.e. EastLake Development and Rolling Hills Ranch). Since the sewer facility,
which was supposed to serve that portion of the basin, had not yet been constructed, flows
generated fi.om these developments were pumped into a different basin (the Telegraph Canyon
Basin).
As development activity in the eastern te~citories accelerated, it became obvious that the Salt
Creek Trunk Sewer needed to be constructed as soon as possible since the Telegraph Canyon
Trunk Sewer and the Date/Faivre Trunk Sewer which cu~ently serve that area were both
approaching threshold capacity.
On June $, 1999, the City retained Dudck & Associates to prepare a Preliminary Design Report
that would form the basis of design for the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor. Based on the
estimates in that report the City initially funded the project with $18, 000,000 as follows:
I. Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds - $8,589,500
2. Loan fi.om the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds to the Salt Creek DIF -
$8,885,500.
3. Funds collected in the Salt Creek DIF Fund - $525,000
Revised Project Cost Estimates
Since the project was initially funded there have been several major changes that have
significantly changed its scope and cost. Below are some of those activities/changes:
1. Re-evaluation of the land use projections for development within the Salt Creek
and Wolf Canyon Basins indicated that the land use projections had changed
significantly from when they were originally analyzed in 1994. This led to a
revision of the Hydraulic Analysis for the system, which ultimately resulted in the
increase of the diameter of the pipe within Reach 9 from 36" to 42" (+$700,000).
Page 3, Item ~"
Meeting Date 8/13/02
2. Environmental and right-of-way constraints, which were not originally
anticipated, led to the realignment of the pipeline through additional segments of
Main Street. This decision triggered additional pavement reconstruction and also
resulted in the use of an expensive Micro-tunneling process to install the pipe
under 1-5 Freeway (+$2,000,00).
3. Utility information, which was not available at the inception of the process, later
dictated that the pipeline had to be installed at depths greater than what was
originally conceived. Consequently, the deeper pipeline resulted in wider trenches
leading to additional reconstruction work along Main Street. (+$1,000,000).
4. To address concerns raised by the environmental community regarding the sewer
project's effect on the Preserve especially Reaches 3 & 4), these reaches were
designed as dual-pipe systems with a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
System (SCADA). This is a system that allows remote monitoring of the pipeline.
In addition, a $1,000,000 endowment will be made to the Preserve Management
Endowment Fund (PMEF) following issuance of the City's Section 10(a) permit
under the Federal Endangered Species Act. This fund's main goal is to support
Preserve restoration and maintenance (+$3,750,000).
5. The project has required a greater level of consultant and staff resources to
prepare design plans, manage the project and provide needed legal consulting
services than was originally anticipated ($2,500,000).
6. The City has calculated more realistic cost estimates based on finished plans and
recent contract bid prices obtained with Phases I & Ili of the gravity sewer
project.
7. The pace of development activity within the City, the importance of the project
for the continuation of that development, and the fast pace at which existing sewer
facilities were approaching threshold capacity resulted in aggressive project
schedules and expensive installation strategies that ultimately affected the cost of
the project.
Project Phasing
Since the creation of the Salt Creek Basin in 1994, the City has taken several steps to construct
various portions of the project. Portions of Reaches 4 & 5 were constructed in 1997 as part ora
Joint project with SDG&E's Pipeline 2000 project. Some of the other portions of the trunk line
were constructed by developers within the basin as part of their development projects with the
idea of seeking DIF Credits at a later date. The completed portions are as follows:
Reaches Cost Status Completion Date
Reach 1 $173,613 Completed 2000
Reach 2 $379,859 Completed 2001
Reach 4B & 5A $693,105 Completed 1997
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date 8/13/02
To expedite the construction of the trunk sewer line, the remaining portions of the project were
broken into four phases as shown on the attached exhibit B. The various phases of the project and
the cost of constructing each of these phases are shown below.
Phases Reaches Cost Status Completion Date
Phase IV Reach 3 $2,437,826 Design 100% Complete February 2003
Reach 4A $3,946,546
Reach 5B $1,059,097

Phase I Reach 9B $8,l 11,542 Under Construction August 2002
Phase 1I Reach 9B' $5,389,467 Design 95% Complete April 2003
Total Cost of Remaining Reaches $32,250524
Phase II1 of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor
The "Phase III of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor" project is the second of four
construction phases that will ultimately complete the construction of a trunk sewer line from the
Eastlake and Roiling Hills Ranch subdivisions to the City of San Diego Metro Interceptor
located west of Interstate 5 (See Exhibit "1" for details).
The segment of the Salt Creek Trunk Sewer designated as Phase II1 which is the subject of this
analysis includes the portion located within Main Street, from immediately west of Interstate 805
to Heritage Road, then heading easterly and northerly along a dirt road that follows the low point
of the Salt Creek Basin and finally terminating at the end of the existing Salt Creek Sewer line
installed as a joint project with SDG&E's Pipeline 2000 project. The approximate length of this
segment of the trunk line is 32,395 feet (6.14 miles) and the diameter and material is primarily
42-inch polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.). The installation of the trunk sewer will utilize open-trench
methods. Work to be done on the project also includes the reconstruction of an existing storm
drain system, installation of a SCADA system, labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and
other work as may be necessary to render the improvements complete in-place.
Prc~ject Advertisement and Bid Results
Dudek and Associates, Inc. of Encinitas, California, prepared the plans and technical
specifications for the "Phase II1 of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor" project. The City's
Infrastructure Design section prepared and advertised the project for bidding.
Two mandatory pre-bid meetings were held for the project. The first mandatory pre-bid meeting
was held on May 23, 2002 to review the requirements of the project and to receive any questions
or concerns regarding the plans and specifications from the prospective contractors bidding on
the project. Attendance by said contractors at this meeting was required in order to submit a bid
Page 5, Item 5
Meeting Date 8/13/02
for the project. However, due to the short time period that notice was given for the mandatory
pre-bid meeting, a second mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled and held on June 24, 2002
to allow contractors absent at the first pre-bid meeting to attend and be allowed to submit a bid
for the subject project. The contractors present at the first pre-bid meeting were not required to
attend the second one in order to submit a bid.
At each of the two (2) mandatory pre-bid meetings held, several contractors present raised
several concerns during the meetings and also afterwards through phone calls and faxes; all
issues that City staff felt required clarification were consequently addressed through three (3)
addendums for the project.
Additionally, an optional site/field visit was also held on June 24, 2002 for the contractors
potentially bidding on the project. This was an opportunity for the contractors to physically
observe, examine and visit the project site prior to submitting their bid. It should be noted that
all required right-of-way for the subject project will be acquired prior to the start of construction.
City staff received and opened bids on Wednesday, July 3, 2002 at 2:00 p.m. City staff received
excellent bids for the project. The lowest responsive bidder for the project was based on the
contractor who submitted all required documents detailed in the contract documents and who
submitted the lowest base bid for the project construction. Bids from eight (8) contractors were
received as follows (Bids sorted by the base bid amount):
BASE BID
CONTRACTOR
(Salt Creek Sewer, Phase I[I)
1. Cass Construction, Inc. $8,432,382.60
2. Don Kelly Construction $8,698,962.00
3. Kenko Inc. $8,794,212.00
4. Vido Artukovich & Son. $9,077,303.00
5. T.C. Construction $9,181,882.00
6. PCL Civil Constructors, Inc. $9,222,996.00
7. Erreca's Inc. $9,778,333.00
8. Southern California Underground $11,843,486.00
The total low bid from Cass Construction, Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate of
$11,024,463.00 by $2,592,080.40 or approximately 23.5%. The Engineer's estimate was based
on average unit prices for similar types of work completed during the last three (3) years. City
staff has seen a recent trend with bids coming in below the Engineer's estimate, which seems to
indicate that the construction industry is once again becoming more competitive. Staff will
incorporate the unit price bid results into our database for future project estimates.
Engineering staff checked several of the references provided by the Cass Construction, Inc. All
references checked were verified and their work has been satisfactory. Furthermore, their
Page 6, Item ~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
Contractor's License Number (298336) is clear and current. Accordingly, Staffis recommending
awarding the contract to Cass Construction, Inc. in the amount of $8,432,382.60.
Right of Way
On June 4, 2002 Council by Resolution No. 2002-188 initiated eminent domain proceedings to
acquire the required easements from property owners along the path of the alignment of the Salt
Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor. Since then, the City's Acquisition's Agent has worked with the
property owners to acquire the needed fight-of-way for just compensation. Presently, four of the
six property owners have granted to the City of Chula Vista the needed right-of-way for the
construction of the project.
Environmental Status
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act. Environmental Impact Report No. 01-03, prepared
for the Salt Creek Sewer was previously certified by the City Council. EIR 01-03 covers all
phases of the Salt Creek Sewer Trunk line. Thus, no further environmental review or
documentation is necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fund Allocation
As previously mentioned, the project is being funded through two funding sources, Trunk Sewer
Capital Reserve Funds and the Salt Creek DIF. To complete the project, additional funds in the
amount of $13,557,419 is required to complete the project. Council approval of this resolution
will authorize the expenditure of $10,182,824 from the Trunk Sewer Fund to meet the City's
obligation for constructing Reach 9. in addition, it will authorize the appropriation of the
accumulated balance of $850,000 in the Salt Creek Gravity Basin DIF Fund into the Salt Creek
(SW219) project account. Furthermore, it will authorize the appropriation of $2,524,596 from the
un-appropriated balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund to be transferred into the Salt
Creek DIF account as a loan to the DIF.
Maintenance
The D1F funding mechanism does not include funding for maintenance. The City will be solely
responsible for the maintenance of the trunk sewer line. Any maintenance or future replacement
of the pipe will be achieved utilizing the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund. There are currently
adequate funds in the fund to fund the maintenance of the trunk line.
Salt Creek DIF Update
When the Salt Creek DIF was initially established, the cost of the project was estimated to be
$18,067,867. Of that amount, $9,897,189 was considered City obligation and $8,170,678 was
allocated amongst the benefited properties (28,737 EDUs) to set an initial DIF Fee of $284/EDU.
However, since the cost of the project has changed significantly, staff is in the process of
preparing the necessary reports to facilitate a revision to the Salt Creek DIF. This report will be
Page 9, Item ~'-
Meeting Date 8/13/02
presented to Council within the next few momhs upon receipt of the bids for the fourth phase of
the project.
The Engineer's Report will outline the funding sources and layout the repayment plan for the
repayment of all the loans borrowed from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund. With the
approval of this resolution, the total amount loaned from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund
to the Salt Creek DIF will be $13,557,419. The Salt Creek DIF will be re-structured such that
this amount is repaid over a 20-year period. The DIF fee will also be re-structured to increase in
direct proportion to the interest on the loan.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~,O* (4/Sths Vote: Yes No ~
On May 22, 1990 and on July 20, 1993, by Resolution No. 15640 m~d Resolution 17177 respectively,
City Council approved the Tentative Subdivision Map for, Sunbow II (CVT No. 90-7). The Council
will be considering the approval ora Final Map for Bella Sol, Sunbow II Unit 12 (Planning Area 11)
and associated agreements. Said Map contains one Condominium Lot and one Open Space Lot. The
Condominium Lot will contain a maximum of 108 units.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the following:
1. Resolution approving the Final Map for Bella Sol, Sunbow II Unit 12 (Planning Area
11), and associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement, and
2. Resolution approving the Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Bella
Sol, Sunbow II Unit 12 (Planning Area 11)
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 8/13/02
3. Resolution approving adjustment in boundary of the City Open Space Lot A and
authorizing the Mayor to execute a Quitclaim Deed for the City's property within Lot
1.
4. Resolution approving a Grant of Easement and authorizing the Mayor to execute a Grant
of Easement for Maintenance Purposes over City Open Space Lot A.
DISCUSSION:
The Project is located west of Paseo Ladera and south of Telegraph Canyon Road within the area of
Sunbow II. The Map consists of one numbered lot (the Condominium lot), one lettered lot (a City-
owned open space lot to be maintained by the Sunbow II Community Facility District (CFD 98-3).
The total map area is 18.016 acres (see Exhibit 1).
On January 16, 2002, the Chula Vista Design Review Committee (DRC) approved the Bella Sol
Project with Conditions of Approval (DRC 02-21).
The Map also realigns the boundary between the two lots. The net acreage of both lots essentially
remains the same, but the adjusted shape of the Condominium lot is better suited to the Project. The
Developer has agreed to have the proposed homeowner association maintain the Project's perimeter
wall, which was originally to be maintained by CFD 98-3. Since the City is signing as an owner on
the map and the map does not distinguish which land is owned by each party, quitclaim deeds need
to be exchanged so that ownership of the individual lots can be recorded. Standard Pacific Corp. (the
present owner of the property) will quitclaim its interest in the City open space Lot A as shown on
the final map. In turn, in order to complete the lot boundary realignment, the City will deed to
Standard Pacific Corp. a small portion of Lot W Sunbow Phase 2A (the original City-owned Lot).
Therefore, the City Council is requested to authorize the Mayor to execute a quitclaim deed for the
City's interest in that portion of Lot W of Sunbow Phase 2A that is now within Lot 1.
City is owner of Lot A. Since the perimeter wall is located on the boundary between Lots 1 and A,
the future homeowners association will need an access easement over the Lot A in order to maintain
the wall. The final Resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute a Grant of Easement for maintenance
purposes to Standard Pacific, its successors and assigns.
The Final Map has been reviewed by the Planning and Building and Public Works Departments and
found to be in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Map and DRC Conditions of
Approval. Approval of the Map constitutes acceptance by the City of all assignable and irrevocable
general utility and access easements, public sewer easements, sight distance easements and the wall
easement granted on the Map.
The developer has executed a Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement, which addresses
several on-going conditions of the Design Review Committee Case No. 02-21 that remain in effect
until the Project is conveyed to the homeowners and the homeowners association.
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 8/13/02
The Developer has bonded for and agrees to complete all on and off-site street improvements
required for the approval of this Map within two years following Map approval, or sooner if
construction permits for the required improvements have been issued.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City's Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the Final Map and has determined that
it is consistent with Sunbow II Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) 88-01, Addendum to
FEIR 88-01 and Mitigation Measures, and other related environmental documents. The Final Map
will not result in any new environmental effects that were not previously identified, nor would the
Final Map result in a substantial increase in severity in any impacts previously identified.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the City. Developer has paid all costs associated with the proposed
Map and agreement.

ITEM TITLE:
Resolution Approving the Memorandum of Understanding
between the City of Chula Vista and Lauderbach Elementary School
regarding provision of library/research skills instruction to 4th through

For a second year, Lauderbach Elementary School has asked the Library to provide
Library/Research skills instruction to 4th through 6th graders during class visits, outside of what
the Library nonnally provides schools during class visits. Additional costs would be incurred by
the Library to conduct this specialized program at the South Chula Vista branch library. The two
staffs have reached agreement on how this service could be provided at a cost of $5,350 to the
School. The attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the tenns and conditions
under which this program will be conducted this fiscal year.
SUBMITTED BY:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving a Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of Chula Vista and Lauderbach Elementary School for the
provision of Library/Research skills instruction, appropriating $5,350, amending the FY2002-03
budget, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the MOU.
BOARDS/COMMISSION: N/A.
DISCUSSION:
Currently the Chula Vista Public Library offers the opportunity for elementary school classes to
visit the Civic Center and South Chula Vista Branch Libraries during regular operating hours
(Elementary classes cannot visit the EastLake Branch during the school day as it is in use as a
High School Library.) The class visits generally consist of an activity appropriate to the grade
level visiting and instruction on the use ofthe Library Catalog and specialized infonnation
resources.
In October 2001 Lauderbach Elementary School and the South Chula Vista Branch Library
created a program of special weekly class visits for 4th _6th graders to teach them library/ research
skills. Because the Library was unable to accommodate the requested schedule due to the
anticipated demand for class visits from other neighborhood schools in the Library's service area
(Otay, Montgomery, Lorna Verde, Harborside to name a few) it was agreed that Lauderbach
School pay for the staffing and associated costs ($4800) of offering class visits prior to regular
library hours. The School and Library collaborated on creating a curriculum for library/research
skills instruction that was be delivered over II weeks, and met State standards.
'5'-/
Page 2, Item Í-
Meeting Date 08/13/02
It is proposed that the School and the Library continue with this program for the fiscal year
2002-03 at a cost of $5,350, beginning August 19,2002 and ending February 25, 2003. Some
improvements to the program will be made, based on last year's experience. There will be 17
weeks of classes instead of II. On Mondays two classes will be conducted and on Tuesdays
three classes will be conducted. The first class will begin while the library is closed and the later
classes will begin after the library is opened. The classes will be one hour long instead ofthe 35
minutes allotted last year, and will include 15 minutes provided for materials checkout.
Lauderbach students in Kindergarten through 3'd grade will still be able to visit the library as
scheduled by their teachers on a monthly or bi-monthly basis during regular library hours.
It is recommended that Council approve the MOD between the City and the School for this very
successful program.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Library will hire two hourly Library Associates to assist the Children's
Librarian in providing instruction to the students at the South Chula Vista branch library for 6.5
hours per week for 17 weeks, at a cost of $4,002. In addition an hourly Librarian I will be hired
to backfill for the full-time staff involved in training and class preparation time at a cost of $471.
The remaining $877 will be used for student incentives, supplies, and printing. The total cost of
$5,350 will be paid by Lauderbach School.

SUBMITTED BY: Chief of POliC~~ ~t-
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ v'f" (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No l)
RECOMMENDATION: That Council amend Chapter 9.20, Sections 9.20.020
and 9.20.050, of the Chula Vista Municipal Code Regarding Property
Defacement.
Amending Chapter 9.20 of the
Municipal Code (Property Defacement
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
Background:
The City of Chula Vista has been experiencing a new form of graffiti vandalism
known as "acid etching." Acid etching involves the use of a corrosive substance
of fluoride compounds, sulfuric acid and barium sulfate. The acid is typically
applied utilizing liquid shoe polish applicators, with white polish being the color of
choice as white is highly visible on glass surfaces. The damage that acid graffiti
causes is permanent.
Within the past several months, acid etching vandalism has caused thousands of
dollars worth of damage to sixteen different Chula Vista businesses. Because of
the permanent damage acid etching causes, and the cost associated with the
replacement of damaged windows, acid etching is often left visible for prolonged
periods of time before being replaced. This form of vandalism in turn can attract
additional graffiti.
Discussion:
In addition to its legal uses, glass etching products are used for illegal purposes
of defacing glass and plastic surfaces on public and private property in the City of
Chula Vista. There is a public safety issue associated with the illegal use of
glass etching products to deface public and private property. The acid solution
may cause eye and skin burns if exposed, as well as respiratory tract irritation
C¡ -I

and permanent damage to the lungs. There are also dangers with low-level long-
term exposure.
The amended ordinance adds "Glass Etching Product" to the definition of
covered and controlled graffiti implements.
Due to the increased use of glass etching products to deface public and private
property, additional measures to combat the illegal use of these products is
required. The reasonable limitations found in this Ordinance on the use,
possession, and sale of glass etching products will assist the City of Chula Vista
in its efforts to combat illegal uses of glass etching products in the City, and will
not unduly restrict legitimate businesses or customers from selling or buying
these products.
In preparation of the amendment, staff discovered that section 9.20.050
contained language that was inconsistent regarding the description of graffiti
tools in associated sections. The proper terminology in defining instruments
commonly used as graffiti tools is "graffiti implements." These implements are
defined under City Ordinance 9.20, Property Defacement. In order to remain
consist when describing tools used to cause graffiti damage, such terminology
will be known as "graffiti implements."

Meeting Date 08/13/02
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Approving the creation of a Funds
Development/Strategic Plan Manager classification in the Unclassified
Service. Senior Management Group: amending the FY03 Budget for the
Library to appropriate $33.300 based on $24.500 in unanticipated
reimbursements and $8.800 from the General Fund Available Fund Balance;

Council is being asked to transfer $101.000 from various departments operating budgets, amend the
FY2002-03 budget and add a Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager position. Although the
position will be assigned to Libraty administration, the position will be available to all City
departments.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution to amend the FY03 Budget to
appropriate $33,300 based on $24,500 in unanticipated reimbursements and $8,800 from the General
Fund Available Fund Balance; transfer $59,785 from various department operating budgets; and add
a Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager position in Library administration.
BO.MID/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Position: Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager (Senior Management)
Department: Library Administration
Recommendation: Create a new classification of Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager.
Salary placement at $88,958 (E).
Discussion:
This position is intended to design and conduct ongoing philanthropic fund development pro,ams
for the City of Chula Vista; conduct/facilitate strategic planning processes for the City, its
departmems and divisions and assist in the development and prioritization of specific program and
management goals and objectives. The duties of this position will be split between fundraising and
strategic planning as outlined below:
Fundraising
The Librat3, has contracted for fundraising consultant services since FY 1997-98, while the Nature
Center has done so since FY 2000-01. During the past two fiscal years, the two departments have
Page 2, Item / ~
Meeting Date 08/13/02
both contracted with the Alford Group. for a total cost of $80.000. During that same time period,
combined donations to the Nature Center and Library have topped $400,000, for a return of $5 for
every dollar spent. 1
Staff has long believed that the donation levels could be even higher if the City had a permanent
fundraiser on board. During the past 'two years, there has not been enough money available lo
contract for everything the Library, and Nature Center has wished to accomplish. For example, the
consultants have not been able lo provide mid-management staff training on philanthropy, pursue
philanthropic grants, nor write and edit newsletter and brochure copy. Most importantly, resources
were not available to allow the consultants to personally solicit donations on behalf of the
departments.
A permanent Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager will also be able to assist other
departments with their fund raising endeavors. The Recreation Department is especially eager to
embark on this effort to support both capital and operational demands. However, they first need an
overall fund development plan. Appropriate collateral materials such as brochures and donor
recognition systems must also be designed. The same holds true for Public Works Operations,
where fund raising could be used to help pay for park amenities.
Finally, the Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager will also be available to plan and coordinate
major capitfil fund raising campaigns. As the City provides more public facilities, donations will
need to be raised in order to pay for the "extras" the residents want and deserve. Projects where
ftmdraising will play an important role include the Rancho del Rey Branch Library and any potential
community cultural arts facility.
Stralegic Planning
The Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager will also conduct and facilitate the strategic
planning processes for the City, its departments and divisions. The City is committed to conducting
such long-range plans as a good management practice. Although some individual departments have
recently completed strategic plans, there has not been a ciD'wide plan prepared since Chula Vista
2000 in 1990 and Chula Vista 21 in 1993. This new' position will begin preparing for a new citywide
plan inmaediately, with the goal of conducting the strategic planning process in 2003. This pre-
planning will include working with the City Council on the identification of key issues, working with
the Planning and Building and Community Development Departments to understand how to best
utilize and incorporate the information coming from the ongoing General Plan update and the
Economic Development Strategy. initiative. They will also coordinate these pre-planning efforts
with other departments and offices within the City as appropriate.
The proposed Funds Development/Strategic Plan Manager will also coordinate and conduct strategic
planning for individual City departments. In this fiscal year, the new Manager will immediately
begin working with the Recreation and Community Development Department's on their long-range
I This figure does not include donations to the Libra~ from the Friends of the Library, donations to Literacy or
Afterschool programs, or in-kind donations.

Meeting Date 08/13/02
service plans. These will be large-scale, public endeavors that will include the establishment of
Steering Committees as well as numerous sub-committees made up of various stakeholders. Both
plans will take approximately one year to complete. Finally, this position will be in place to assist
with the updating of plans that already exist, such as in the Police and Library Departments.
Out of these efforts will eventually emerge a coordinated, prioritized, five to ten year plan of service
for the community and city governmen! - a public service plan which is in sync with the General
Plan and economic development goals. These efforts will provide City Council with the strategies
necessary to successfully fulfill its vision and mission of making Chula Vista the finest community
in San Diego County.
Salary placement for this position will be internally aligned to the Administrative Services Manager
at $88,958.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the proposed position for the remainder of the fiscal year is $93,085; $84,285 for
personnel services and $8800 for office and computer equipment. This expense will be offset
through reductions of $59,785 in the supply and service budgets of various departments and RDA
reimbursements to the General Fund totaling $24,500, resulting in a net cost of $8800. RDA
appropriations are not needed as RDA monies were set aside in the budget for professional services
for strategic plan development and these appropriations will be used to reimburse staff for the work
being performed in-house. The specific budget adjustments and appropriations needed are shown
below:

The necessary supplies and services related to this position and its functions are being absorbed
in the Library Department's budget in the current year and as an ongoing expense.
The ongoing cost of the position is estimated at $110,878. which will be offset by a permanent
transfer of $27,866 from the Library and Nature Center budgets previously allocated for fundraising
consultant services. This will fund approximately 25% of the position. One half of the Funds
Development/Strategic Plan Manager's time will be allocated to fundraising. Once the position is
filled, staff will develop a ciLywide fundraising plan with the expectation that sufficient donation
revenues will be raised to fund a significant portion of the costs for FY 2003-04 and beyond.
The other 50% of the job will be devoted to Strategic Planning. As a result, this position will ensure
that the City does not need to hire additional consultants for departmental or citywide strategic
planning purposes. Therefore, there is future cost avoidance to the Ci~,.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager6~ (4/5th Vote: Yes No X_)
Staff is requesting amendments to the Eastlake HI Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, the Otay
Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, and the Otay Ranch Village Eleven
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan to incorporate Air Quality Improvement Plans into each of the
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans as mandated by the City's Growth Management Ordinance.
The developers of the three Planning Areas, in order to meet the Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
content requirements, agreed to participate in a pilot program to study and evaluate air quality and
energy conservation measures in their projects. In March 2001, the City retained a consultant to
prepare a computer model, related reports and analyses of air quality and energy conservation
measures in order to evaluate the three SPA projects. The scope of work also included the
preparation of individual Air Quality Improvement Plans for the study participants. StatTwill draft
guidelines for future air quality improvement plans using the information contained in the pilot
study and report. (Attachment 8)
Page 2, Item: / /
Meeting Date: g/13/02
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the proposed project was
adequately covered in the previously adopted EastLake III Woods and Vistas Replanning
Program EIR 01-01, the Village Six SPA Plan EIR 98-01 and the Otay Ranch GDP
Amendments/Village 11 SPA Plan EIR 01-02. Thus, no further environmental review or
documentation is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
· Accept the INDEX Pilot Test: SPA Air Quality Improvement Plans, June 2002 report
prepared for the City by Criterion Planners/Engineers Inc. and direct staff to draft Air
Quality Improvement Plan Guidelines based on results of this report and the pilot air quality
improvement plans.
· Adopt a resolution approving the proposed amendment to the Eastlake 11I Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan incorporating the required Air Quality Improvement Plan into
the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan.
· Adopt a resolution approving the proposed amendment to the Otay Ranch Village Six
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan incorporating the required Air Quality Improvement
Plan into the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan.
· Adopt a resolution approving the proposed amendment to the Otay Ranch Village Eleven
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan incorporating the required Air Quality Improvement
Plan into the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 10, 2002 to consider the Project. The
Planning Commission voted $-0 (Commissioners Hall and Thomas absent) to recommend that
the City Council take the actions listed above.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Chula Vista has been a leader and innovator in promoting local air quality and energy
/I-2

Meeting Date: g/13/o2
conservation efforts. The City Council has taken a proactive role in addressing the air quality
and energy challenges posed by rapid growth. The proposed pilot program will enhance air
quality and energy conservation efforts in master planned communities being developed in
Eastern Chula Vista.
The City's Growth Management Ordinance requires that an Air Quality Improvement Plan be
prepared for all major development projects (50 dwelling units or greater). City adoption of the
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan in November 2000 provided for further consideration of
land use and energy efficient measures in new development in order to reduce CO2 emissions,
energy consumption and air pollution. In addition, the Chula Vista GreenStar Building Incentive
Program (GreenStar), currently being developed through a previously awarded Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) grant, was expanded to include the identification of air quality and
energy conservation measures at both the SPA plan and individual construction project level. A
portion of the EPA grant was used to fund consultant assistance in preparing an air quality/energy
conservation pilot study.
On March 27, 2001, the City Council approved an agreement between the City and Criterion
Planners/Engineers Inc. for consulting services to prepare a customized computer model, related
reports and preparation of Air Quality Improvement Plans for three development projects. The
pilot study participants are EastLake III, Otay Ranch Village Six and Otay Ranch Village Eleven.
The Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans for all three projects have been approved and are
conditioned to require preparation of their Air Quality Improvement Plans based on the outcomes
of the pilot study and information contained in the INDEX Pilot Test report. The proposed
amendments to the three projects are necessary in order to incorporate the required Air Quality
Improvement Plans into the SPA Plan documents. (See locator maps.)
The INDEX Pilot Test: SPA Air Quality Improvement Plans, June 2002 report, prepared by
Criterion Planners/Engineers Inc., outlines the Chula Vista pilot study and describes how the
computer modeling system measures the attributes and performance of community plans.
(Attachment 8)
The report identifies twelve key action measures taken from the City's Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Reduction Plan for incorporation into 52 indicators used in the pilot study. The indicators
quantify the characteristics of the twelve key measures and are then programmed in INDEX.
Baseline data established for the study consisted of modeling three older existing neighborhoods
constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. The baseline data was then used to compare and rate the
study projects. The INDEX modeling found that all three pilot study SPA Plans were more
energy-efficient than the baseline neighborhoods. EastLake III is approximately 4.8% more
efficient, Otay Ranch Village Six is about 8.6% more efficient and Otay Ranch Village Eleven is
Page 4, Item: [ [
Meeting Date: g/!_~/fl~
approximately 10.8% more energy-efficient. In comparison with the baseline data there was a
reduction in air pollutants and CO2 (greenhouse gas emissions) of .20% for the EastLake m
project. The scores for Otay Ranch Village Six reflected a 5.4% reduction, and Otay Ranch
Village Eleven a 6.5% reduction in air pollutants and CO2 emissions.
The most effective way of improving the project scores is through site plan modification in the
areas of land-use density, land-use diversity and multimodal circulation design. The pilot study
SPA Plans were at an advanced stage in the approval process as the study began, therefore, it was
not feasible to make major changes in the land-use and circulation designs. The review and
analysis contained in the INDEX Pilot Test report then focused on methods to improve air
quality and energy conservation for the approved study SPA Plans.
In addition to increasing densities, expanding diversity of land uses and modification of streets
and circulation, the following options remained for consideration by the study participants to
improve air quality and energy efficiency in their projects:
1. Title 24 Exceedence
Participation in existing building efficiency programs such as ComfortWise and the new
SDG&E California Energy Star program will result in structures that exceed the Title 24
standards by 15%. The developers were also given the opportunity to design their own
Title 24 exceedence program to further improve upon the Title 24 standards.
2. Solar Measures
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. While the cost/benefit equation has
improved in recent years, the study found the break-even point for residential applications
to be the length of the loan (7% loan rate for 30 years). Commercial applications are
more cost effective due to the state and federal incentives available to businesses.
Solar thermal applications. Solar water heating in new residential construction is cost
effective due to the relatively low cost of the system, available rebates and current natural
gas prices.
3. Tree Planting
This option will offset greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) and help mitigate climate change.
It will not, however, improve the SPA's air pollutant emissions or energy efficiency.
During the course of the pilot study Assembly Bill (AB) 970 was signed into law and has taken
effect. It required the California Energy Commission to adopt new Title 24 energy efficiency
Page 5, Item: / ]
Meeting Date: g/l_~/fl2
standards for residential and nonresidential buildings. The new standards have resulted in more
stringent construction requirements to achieve approximately a 12% increase in energy
conservation beyond what was previously required. With all of the proposed pilot study dwelling
units now mandated by the State to be 12% more energy efficient than they were required to be at
the onset of the study, this has had an impact on the pilot study participants and their ability to
exceed the new Title 24 standards in a cost-effective manner.
While exceeding these new requirements may now be more difficult, it is still possible to achieve
a 15% Title 24 exceedence by participating in existing building efficiency programs such as
ComfortWise and the SDG&E California ]Energy Star program.
Air Quality Improvement Plans
After consideration of the above options, EastLake 1]] and Otay Ranch Village Six selected thc
Title 24 Exceedcnce and Trec Planting indicators to improve energy efficiency and air quality for
their projects. Overall, with these modifications EastLake m and Otay Ranch Village Six
achieved an additional 1% reduction in energy use and a small decrease in CO2 emissions and air
pollutants beyond the original project scores. The additional tree planting resulted in an increase
in CO2 uptake of 25% for EastLake RI and 22% for Otay Ranch Village Six. Again, while this
option does not reduce air pollutants it does offset greenhouse gas emissions helping to mitigate
global warming.
Otay Ranch Village Eleven chose no further options identified in the pilot study. They did,
however, commit to six construction level measures that have not been modeled for scoring
purposes.
A sumnrary of the Air Quality Improvement Plans for the three pilot study projects follows:
EastLake III
The Air Quality Improvement Plan for EastLake m (Attachment 9) requires implementation of
the following air quality/energy efficiency measures:
Building Energy Efficiency Program & Title 24 Exceedence
· EastLake Woods - 72 single-family homes will participate in ComfortWise, SDG&E
California Energy Star Partnership or equivalent program resulting in approximately 15%
exceedence over the new Title 24.
Page 6, Item: t I
Meeting Date: g/1~4/02
· EastLake Woods - 255 single-family homes will participate in the SDG&E Califomia
Energy Star Partnership Program resulting in approximately 15% exceedence over the
new Title 24.
To further promote the AQIP, the Master Developer will encourage all merchant builders to
participate in a building efficiency program.
Additional Tree Planting to Offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions
855 trees will be planted within the slopes and other open space areas of the project site as
detailed below:
· EastLake Woods - 262 trees
· EastLake Woods West - 233 trees
· EastLake Vistas - 360 trees
The Master Developer will obtain certification by a Registered Landscape Architect that
additional trees have been included on the Master Landscape Plan for EastLake I~.
Construction and Dust Control Measures
· Comply with Section 4.8.5 Mitigation Measures, EastLake HI Woods and Vistas
Replanning Program Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 01-01.
Otay Ranch Village Six
The Air Quality Improvement Plan for Otay Ranch Village Six (Attachment 10) contains the
following implementation measures for the project developers:
Title 24 Exceedence
· McMillin Land Development
Construction of 482 single-family detached homes to exceed the new Title 24 by 10%.
· Otay Ranch Company
Encourage all merchant builders to participate in a building efficiency program.
Additional Tree Planting to Offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Page 7, Item:
Meeting Date:
· McMillin Land Development - 244 trees to be planted in parkways and medians.
McMillin will obtain certification by a registered Landscape Architect that additional
trees have been included on the Master Landscape Plan for their portion of Otay Ranch
Village Six.
· Otay Ranch Company - 548 trees to be planted in 15ont yards of single family detached
units. The Otay Ranch Company will obtain certification by a registered Landscape
Architect that additional trees have been included on the single-family lots in their portion
of Otay Ranch Village Six.
Construction and Dust Control Measures
· Comply with Section 5.11.5 Mitigation Measures, Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan Environmental Impact Report 98-01.
Otay Ranch Village Eleven
The Air Quality Improvement Plan for Otay Ranch Village Eleven (Attachment 11) requires
implementation of the measures listed below:
Construction and Dust Control Measures
· Comply with Section 5.11.6 Mitigation Measures, Otay Ranch GDP
Amendments/Village Eleven SPA Plan Environmental Impact Report 01-02.
To further promote the AQIP, the Master Developer will implement construction level design
features described in the Plan, and will recommend additional construction level measures such
as participation in a building efficiency program, use of "Low E" windows, energy-efficient
lighting, 220-volt electrical service to the garage, and additional tree planting be considered by
all merchant builders in an effort to reduce energy consumption.
INDEX Study Results
It is important to recognize the improvements in energy efficiency that have occurred in the
building industry and in particular the pilot study SPA Plans in comparison to typical residential
development projects built in the 1970's and 1980's.
Otay Ranch Village Six and Village Eleven have been planned and designed as neo-traditional,
Page 8, Item:
Meeting Date: ~
pedestrian-oriented urban villages, with Village Six containing a future transit station in the
Village Core. Otay Ranch Village Six realized a 9.7% energy reduction score due mainly to the
higher densities proposed, pedestrian friendly path and trail networks and pr~ovision of transit
services. Otay Ranch Village Eleven also attained a 10.8% energy reduction score for many of
the same reasons.
EastLake 11I, while lower in density, still displayed considerable improvements (4.8% energy
reduction) over the baseline, and would realize an additional 1% improvement by implementing
the additional measures proposed.
Increased tree planting will increase the amount of greenhouse gases (CO2) absorbed by
vegetation over the course of a year. As mentioned before, EastLake III and Otay Ranch Village
Six achieved an increase in vegetative CO2 uptake of 25% and 22% respectively by committing
to additional tree planting in their projects.
Although the Planning Commission unanimously supported the programs as recommended by
staff, some of the Commissioners expressed concerns and asked questions regarding the size,
species, maintenance and retention of the additional trees. The three pilot SPA Plan projects are
required to submit Landscape Plans that will ensure the use of proper tree material. In addition,
the Zoning Code and Landscape Manual requires all trees be a minimum 15 gallon container size
on public or HOA maintained land and private lots. Further guidance regarding the CO2 uptake
tree planting option will also be provided in the AQIP Guidelines.
During the study some updates to the SPA Plans occurred prior to the modeling process. These
changes improved scores relative to the baseline. EastLake llI provided additional trail
connections, Otay Ranch Village Six included bridge connections over major streets and Village
Eleven made changes to the street pattem resulting in better connectivity.
The final results are illustrated in the following tables:

Air Quality Improvement Plan Guidelines
The next step in the study program is to prepare guidelines for future Air Quality Improvement
Plans, which staff will initiate upon adoption of the pilot AQIP's and receiving City Council
direction. The air quality and energy conservation pilot study has provided information for staff
to usc in developing guidelines for the preparation of future Air Quality Improvement Plans.
Existing Development
It is important to note that although new residential construction was the focus of the pilot study,
them are opportunities for existing residences to conserve energy. The San Diego Regional
Energy Office, the California Energy Commission and San Diego Gas and Electric coordinate a
number of rebate programs for the installation of energy efficient devices. They provide
vouchers for installation of solar panels and double-paned windows to household appliances,
insulation and lighting.
Conclusion
Air Quality Improvement Plans required by the City's Growth Management Ordinance have been
prepared for three separate projects, EastLake III, Otay Ranch Village Six and Otay Ranch
Village Eleven, consistent with the outcome of the air quality/energy conservation pilot study
initiated by the City and agreed to by the various project property owners.
Staff has concluded that the amendments to the EastLake Iff Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan,
Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, and Otay Ranch Village Eleven
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, are all consistent with the objectives of the pilot study
program, requirements of the Growth Management Ordinance, and goals and policies of the Chula
Vista General Plan.
The proposed amendments are also consistent with the policies and requirements described in the
approved EastLake III GDP and Otay Ranch GDP/SRP. In addition, the amendments will enhance
the environmental quality of the three developments through the implementation of air quality and
energy conservation measures beyond current mandates.
Staff recommends approval of the amendments to the EastLake Iff Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
Plan, Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, and Otay Ranch Village Eleven
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, to incorporate Section 11.7 Air Quality Improvement Plan into

each of the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans.
Background: Mary Venables, Associate Planner stated that for the Commission's
consideration is the Air Quality and Energy Conservation Pilot Program, including SPA Plan
amendments to incorporate the Air Quality Improvement Plans into three projects. The three
projects participating in the study are the same three projects that are participating in the Water
Conservation Plan. They are Eastlake III (Woods/Vistas), Otay Ranch Village 6 and 11.
During the course of the pilot study AB 970 was signed into law requiring the California Energy
Commission to adopt new Title 24 energy efficiency standards for residential and nonresidential
buildings, which resulted in more stringent construction requirements to achieve approximately
a 12% increase in energy conservation beyond what was previously required.
Chula Vista does have some local requirements and programs beyond federal and State
regulations. The Growth Management Ordinance requires an Air Quality Improvement Plan be
prepared for all major projects 50 du's or greater.
The CO2 Reduction Plan was adopted in November of 2000 and contains a number of action
measures that are related to land use and energy efficiency that can be applied to new
development. The implementation of these action measures the responsibility of the Planning
Division and includes such items as site design with pedestrian and bicycle and transit
ATTACHMENT 7
Planning Commission Minutes - 8 - July 10, 2002
orientation. The remaining measures in the CO2 Plan are related to municipal programs and
facilities that are managed by the City Special Operations Section.
The Greenstar Building Incentive Program is one of the CO2 reduction plan action members
being implemented by the Planning Division. This program encourages builders to participate
in energy-efficient building programs that increase energy efficient beyond the Title 24 Energy
Code requirements. These are programs such as Comfort Wise and the New California Energy
Star Program sponsored by SDG&E. Builders are rewarded for their voluntary participation
with priority building permit processing.
The developers of the three projects agreed to participate in a pilot study to evaluate methods
and improve air quality and energy conservation. In March 2001, the City Council retained
Criterion Planners/Engineers to provide consulting services to prepare a computer model and
report and prepare air quality improvement plans for the three projects.
The Eastlake Company agreed to implement two of the options and those are the Title 24
Exceedence and tree planning. In the Eastlake Woods there will be 72 homes constructed
using one of the building efficiency programs and there will also be 255 homes constructed
using the new SDG&E Energy Star Program. All of these homes will exceed the Title 24
regulations by 15%. The Eastlake Company has also agreed to plant 855 additional trees to
offset (:;02 emissions.
The Otay Ranch Village 6 is owned by two developers (McMillin Land Development and The
Otay Ranch Company). The portion owned by McMillin, 482 homes will exceed Title 24 by
10%. McMillin is developing its own efficiency program in order to achieve this. In addition,
McMillin has also agreed to plant an additional 244 trees and the Otay Ranch Company has
agreed to plant 548 additional trees.
The developer of Otay Ranch Village Eleven (Brookfield Shea Otay) chose not to implement
the options identified in the study, but instead agreed to install several construction level design
features that were not modeled in the pilot Study. For example, provision of outside electrical
outlets to encourage use of electdc powered yard maintenance equipment, gas connections for
fireplaces and 50 gallon or smaller water heaters.
Although Village Eleven's efforts are taken into account, the City took a conservative approach
and did not give energy and air quality improvement credits to this project since the City was
unable to measure the proposed features.

Commissioner Castaneda asked what requirements are in place that will give some
assurance that the trees and vegetation will be there in the future when they've reached the
maturity level that it takes in order for it to be most beneficial.
Ms. Venables responded that with the exception of the trees that the Otay Ranch Company is
putting in their single family lots, the rest of the trees will be in slope areas and medians,
essentially areas that will be maintained or overseen by a homeowners associations or a
facilities districts; when trees die, they are replaced.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A pilot test has been conducted of an innovative technique for preparing Sectional Planning Area SPA
Plan air quality improvement plans as required by the City's growth management ordinance. In the pilot
test, three SPA plans were compared to older "baseline" neighborhoods to gauge the SPAs' relative
energy efficiency and air quality characteristics. The baseline neighborhoods were selected to reflect
land development practices prior to any special consideration of energy efficiency. The objective was
to determine how much energy is being saved by current SPA design practices in comparison to the
older baseline neighborhoods and in turn, how much lower the SPAs' air pollutant emissions are in
comparison to the baseline. The test SPAs were compared to the baseline twice: first, as originally
submitted to the City; and second, as voluntarily modified to further improve energy efficiency and air
quality.
Baseline Neighborhoods
To establish a baseline of energy efficiency, three neighborhoods constructed in the 1970s and 80s were
modeled: Terra Nova, College Estates I, and College Estates I1. When combined on a weighted
average basis, these neighborhoods have a total baseline energy use of 76 million Btu/yr/capita.
Original SPA Proposals
The three test SPAs were modeled as originally submitted to the City and found to be notably more
energy efficient than the baseline. Their total energy use and comparison to the baseline value are as
follows:
SPA MMBtu/Yr/Capita % Change From Baseline
OR Village Six 69.05 -8.6
OR Village Eleven 67.39 -10.8
EastLake III 71.94 -4.8
A majority of the SPA energy savings come from residential densities that are higher than the baseline
neighborhoods. Higher densities reduce space conditioning energy use due to more common walls and
ceilings that reduce energy losses from the buildings. Higher densities also encourage travel energy
savings through greater walking, biking, and transit use.
709/100 1 6/18/02
Modified SPA Proposals
The next step in the pilot test was an invitation to the SPA developers to modify their plans to achieve
even greater energy efficiency and air quality improvements. Because the three test SPAs were at an
advanced stage of their approval process, it was not feasible to make major changes in their land-use
and circulation designs. This left the following three action measures as the developers' principal choices
if additional energy efficiencies were to be achieved:
· Building Construction Standards. SPA developers could opt for a commitment to reduce building
energy use by exceeding California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 6. Developers could
propose the amount of Title 24 exceedence per building type and the number of buildings that will
participate in such exceedence.
· Solar Systems. SPA developers could opt to reduce grid-supplied energy by installing solar
thermal or PV systems and buildings. Developers could propose the type and capacity to be
used, and the number of structures that will receive such systems.
· Tree Planting. This measure allowed SPA developers to commit to additional tree planting that
will offset greenhouse gas emissions. Selection of this option will not improve a SPA's energy
efficiency or air pollutant emissions, but will help mitigate climate change.
After considering these options, the SPA developers voluntarily elected to add the following action
measure commitments:
· EastLake III. 72 single-family homes will achieve a 15% Title 24 exceedence through the
ComfortWise, SDG&E California Energy Star Program or equivalent program; 255 single-family
homes will achieve a 15% Title 24 exceedence through the SDG&E California Energy Star
Program; and an additional 855 trees will be planted.
· Otay Ranch Village Six, 482 single-family homes will achieve a 10% Title 24 exceedence
through energy-efficient building design and construction techniques to be selected by home
designers/builders; and 792 additional trees will be planted.
· Otay Ranch Village Eleven. No additional action measures were selected by this developer.
2
The addition of these measures reduced Village Six total energy use to 68.25 million Btu/yr/capita or
approximately a 1% reduction from the odginal SPA proposal; and EastLake III dropped to 71.19 million
Btu/yr/capita or approximately a 1% reduction from its odginal proposal. Also, the additional tree
planting in Village Six and EastLake III resulted in beneficial CO2 uptake increases of 22% and 25%,
respectively.
Final Results
Based on the modified SPA plans, the pilot test's final results for energy savings, air quality
improvements, and greenhouse gas reductions are as follows:
Baseline Village Village

1. OVERVIEW
The City of Chuia Vista is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in the eastern territories. The City's
adopted Growth Management Ordinance requires that all major development projects (50 dwelling units
or greater) prepare an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP). There have been no formal, adopted
guidelines to-date, and developers have prepared the required AQIPs based largely on State and
Federal mandates. The City Council recently adopted the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan which
provides for further consideration of land-use and energy efficient measures in new development to
reduce CO2 emissions, energy consumption and air pollution. It is now the expectation of the City
Council that the required AQIP will include implementation of applicable measures identified in the CO2
Reduction Plan. As a result, the City is undertaking an effort to prepare and adopt formalized guidelines
for the preparation and implementation of required AQIPs.
The City contracted with Criterion Planners/Engineers to use the INDEX model to analyze the relative
effectiveness and costs of applying various design and energy conservation features in new
development projects. One of the goals is to exceed existing mandates wherever possible such as the
Title 24 Energy Code, and reduce air pollutants and CO2 emissions. The INDEX model can be used
as a tool to assist in the efficient design of master planned communities.
There are three major SPA Plans (EastLake Ill, Otay Ranch Village Six and Village Eleven) under
preparation. The developers of these projects participated in the INDEX pilot study to assess the
benefits of specific project design features and energy conservation measures. By doing so the
developers satisfy the AQIP requirement for these SPA Plans and the City can obtain the necessary
data for developing future AQIP guidelines and amendments to the Growth Management Ordinance.
The SPA Plan project analysis occurred in two stages. The first stage evaluated the SPA Plans as
proposed, assessing the benefits of the project's design and other features in comparison to the baseline
project by means of the computer model. The model analyzed and quantified emissions reductions and
energy savings for the individual SPA projects.
Stage two involved a comparative assessment of making project design amendments and adding
construction-level features identified by Criterion's evaluation to further air quality improvements, CO2
reduction and energy conservation. The model was re-run using the selected design amendments and
construction level features.

2. INDEX MODELING SYSTEM
2.1 Introduction
INDEX is a GIS-based planning support system that uses indicators to measure the attributes and
performance of community plans. For each community where it is applied, INDEX is customized to
address issues of interest or high priority. This is accomplished with the selection of indicators that
measure conditions related specifically to those issues. The objective is to support decision-making by
using indicators to benchmark existing conditions, evaluate alternative courses of action, select goals,
and monitor change over time.
In Chula Vista, INDEX is being focused on the related issues of energy efficiency, climate change, and
air quality. The City has improvement goals in each of these areas and is interested in helping achieve
them when large parts of the community are first planned for development. For this reason, the
sectional planning area (SPA) process was selected as an appropriate application opportunity for
INDEX. The City's growth management ordinance requires air quality improvement plans (AQIPs) as
part of the SPA process, and INDEX was seen as an AQIP tool for quantifying the emission
characteristics of SPA plans.
The application of INDEX was conducted as a pilot test under a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
grant to the City for climate change activities. The pilot test included the following major steps:
· Selection of action measures. A menu of action measures for SPAs was taken from the City's
CO2 Reduction Plan. Twelve measures were selected from the CO2 Plan's action categories
of land-use, transportation, and buildings.
· Selection of indicators. Indicators were configured to quantify key characteristics of the twelve
action measures. A total of 52 indicators were selected and programmed in INDEX.
· Establishment of baselines. Calculating SPA air quality, CO2 emissions, and energy
efficiencies required that baselines be established for the SPAs to be measured against. These
baselines were set for each indicator using three older, existing neighborhoods that were
developed without special considerations.
709/100 5 6/18/02
· Scoring of SPA plans. A test sample of three SPA plans were selected for two rounds of
indicator scoring. First, the SPA plans were scored as originally submitted by their developers.
Second, the plans were voluntarily modified by the developem to increase their efficiencies and
then rescored.
· Incorporation of results into AQIPs. The energy, air quality, and climate change improvements
measured between the baselines and the modified SPA plans were translated into AQIPs for
the SPAs.
2.2 Action Measures
The first step in customizing INDEX for Chula Vista was selection of action measures that would be
available to SPA developers. As part of the City's CO2 Reduction Plan preparation, several hundred
measures were analyzed extensively. From that universe of measures, the most appropriate ones for
Chula Vista were prioritized according to local feasibility and included as action measures in the final
Plan. From this group of action measures, the following twelve were selected for the INDEX pilot test:
Land-Use
1. Compact development. This is concerned with land and natural resource conservation generally
by minimizing sprawl. Compact development saves energy and reduces emissions by reducing
travel and infrastructure-related energy consumption.
2. Density. This is the intensity of land-use as measured by the density of structures and persons.
Higher densities reduce travel and infrastructure-related energy use and emissions, and also
reduce building energy demand as a consequence of more common-wall construction.
3. Diversity. This measure is concerned with the mix and variety of land-uses that constitute
"complete" neighborhoods. Greater diversity or "completeness" in an area reduces travel-related
energy consumption and emissions.
4. Orientation toward pedestrian and bicycles. This measure is focused on land planning that
facilitates pedestrian and bicycle travel, both of which offer energy and emission savings over
motor vehicles.
709/100 6 6/18/02
5. Orientation toward transit. This measure addresses land development design that facilitates
transit travel, which can be highly energy-efficient with sufficient ridership.
Buildinqs
6. General energy design and equipment. This measure encompasses building design, materials,
and equipment that improve efficiency generally.
7. Solar use. This includes solar thermal applications such as domestic hot water heating and pool
heating, and solar power generation using photovoltaic (PV) technology.
8. Vegetation. This measure recognizes the use of vegetation that cools ambient air temperatures,
reduces building energy use for cooling, and uptakes air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
Transportation
9. Pedestrian facilities. This measure addresses transportation system design and improvements
specifically for walking.
10. Bicycle facilities. This measure focuses on transportation system design and improvements for
bicycle travel.
11. Transit facilities. This measure includes transportation system design and improvements
dedicated to transit service.
Infrastructure
12. Water use. This measure is concerned with land planning that reduces water consumption.
Less water consumption translates into reduced energy use for water distribution.
709/100 7 6/18/02
The characteristics of these measures are further summarized in Table 1 according to type of energy
savings, general cost-effectiveness, technological maturity, durability, support for business and job
creation, and notable non-energy community benefits. The Table I assessment is a qualitative
characterization of the measures based on Cdtedon's experience and professional judgment, including
preparation of the 1994 Regional Energy Plan for SANDAG. Terms used in Table 1 are defined as
follows:
· Type of energy savings. These are the end-use or supply sectors affected by a given action
measure.
· Near-term andlong-term competitiveness. This represents generalized cost-effectiveness within
3-5 years for near-term measures, and 5-10 years for long-term measures.
· Stability. This refers to potential volatility in a measure's ongoing operating and maintenance
costs.
· Technological maturity. This is the degree of proven commemial reliability in a measure.
· Durability. This characterizes the relative length of a measure's useful life, which is the length
of time it fulfills its intended functions. In the case of land-use measures, useful life is the length
of time that the built feature exists after construction, e.g. an area's density would exist for the
life of the neighborhood's buildings. Most land-use measures have high durability because they
exist for several decades, e.g. 60-100 years.
· Support for regional jobs. This notes those measures whose implementation would create jobs
in the region.
· Non-energy community benefits. These measures have notable non-energy benefits, such as
transportation measures that reduce traffic congestion and pollutant emissions while also
savings energy.
· High and moderate ratings. Implementation cost, technological matudty, and durability are rated
with "high" and "moderate" terms that represent qualitative judgment based on resource
evaluations in the San Diego Regional Energy Plan and current technical literature. It is worth
noting that alt action measures are rated favorably under all criteria.

All of the measures in Table 1 have been feasibly implemented to varying degrees in projects throughout
the San Diego region over the past 5-10 years, in fact, most of the land-use and transportation
measures have gained acceptance as standard features in regional land development. The same is true
for water conservation measures.
Of the 12 action measures available to SPA developers, the building construction and solar measures
are notable for two reasons:
· They are the only measures whose implementation will be passed from the SPA developers
onto merchant builders.
· They are the only measures that have notable economic sensitivities.
Therefore, any decision to choose these measures will be based on their economic and financial
implications for developers and builders, and to some degree the positive marketing implications of
having "environment-friendly" features in a project. Key variables on the economic side of this equation
include:
· Timing of efficiency investment. Because energy economics are constantly changing, the
feasibility of a particular investment will be affected by the timing of that investment. For
SPA developers choosing building or solar measures, the actual capital outlay by builders for
the measures will not occur until some undefined point in the future.
· Cost of energy. The basic hurdle for any efficiency measure is to produce energy savings at a
cost beneath current energy prices. For example, any measure displacing electricity in Chula
Vista today should be feasible if the cost of conserved energy is roughly 7C/kWh or less.
However, recent events have shown how volatile energy prices can be and any investment
decision has to take such uncertainty into consideration.
· Applicable incentives. At any given point in time there are various government and utility
financial incentives available for efficiency measures. However, the scope, amount, and
eligibility requirements of these incentives change periodically and need to be monitored along
with energy prices.
709/100 10 6/18/02
· Investment cfiteria. Each developer and builder will have their own set of criteria for determining
whether an investment is financially acceptable. Factors such as interest rates, required retum
on investment, and possible cost-sharing will vary among developem and builders.
Considerations on the intangible marketing side of the equation include:
· Public perception of energy and environmental issues. Public opinion reseamh shows
consistent and growing support for energy efficiency. To the extent that a land development is
perceived as energy conscious, its public reputation in the marketplace should be enhanced
accordingly.
· Ability to distinguish a product in the competitive market. Recent experience has also shown
that land developments incorporating environment-friendly features ara able to successfully
distinguish themselves among competing products in the marketplace, and achieve faster sales
at premium prices in the process.
Because of the variability in all of these factors, both economic and intangible, it is not possible to
specify with certainty which building construction and/or solar measures will always be feasible.
However, there is ample evidence that developers and builders are finding such measures increasingly
feasible given the growing amount of investment in the measures. The latest energy crisis in Califomia
has only accelerated this trend.
Buildin.q Measures
This elective action category gave SPA developers two options for reducing energy use in buildings that
will ultimately be constructed in the SPAs:
· Title 24 exceedence. The SPA developer works with the City to commit that a certain
percentage of structures will exceed Title 24 energy standards by a certain amount. Both the
pement of structures and amount of Title 24 exceedence are elective choices of the SPA
developer. Measures to achieve the exceedence can include any combination of building
design, construction materials, or equipment for space conditioning, water heating, or lighting.
709/100 11 6/18/02
· Energy ef~cient building program participation. The SPA developer works with the City to
commit that a certain percentage of structures will participate at a specified level in a formal
building energy efficiency program sponsored by a utility or comparable organization. Both the
percent of structures and level of participation are elective choices of the SPA developer.
Program participation would include the same types of measures described for Title 24
exceedence.
Local developers and builders are already taking such actions with increasing regularity. San Diego Gas
and Electdc reports that standard building practices in the region consistently exceed Title 24 by
approximately 5%. Similarly, utility-sponsored efficiency incentive programs are often fully subscribed.
Even before the recent energy price shocks in California, energy-efficient construction techniques and
equipment were making good economic sense. Table 2 summarizes the latest national survey of
energy-saving measures for the residential and commercial building sectors. As shown in the column
entitled "Cost of Conserved Energy-S/kWh," there are a wide variety of highly cost-effective measures
available in today's market. In fact, 62 of the 66 measures listed are cost-.effective in the San Diego
region at present where Table 2 indicates their cost of conserved energy at or below $0.07/kWh.
The Table 2 survey is consistent with general rules-of-thumb among building energy design
professionals that most new residential and commercial construction can cost-effectively exceed Title 24
by as much as 10-20 percent. In fact, being able to cost-effectively achieve these levels has been
confirmed by the exceedence terms of efficiency programs administered by SDG&E and organizations
such as ConSol. Examples of components in these programs include engineered HVAC design, tight
ducts, spectrally selective glass, third-party inspections and diagnostics, and home energy ratings.
If SPA developers select one or both of the building measure options, and merchant builders are called
upon to implement the commitment, one technical resource for evaluating the feasibility of specific
packages of measures is the California Energy Commission (CEC) Database for Energy Efficient
Resources (DEER). DEER is an electronic database of over 250 building energy measures with the
latest information on measure capacities, efficiencies, useful lives, installed costs, and savings. DEER
can be downloaded from the CEC's website (www.energy. ca.gov/deer). The CEC and San Diego
Regional Energy Office (SDREO) also both operate databases of building measure financial incentives
with the latest information on amounts and eligibilities.

Solar Measures
This category gave SPA developers two elective options for reducing grid-supplied energy demands
from the buildings that will be constructed in the SPAs:
· Solarthermalapplications. The SPA developer would work with the City to make a commitment
that a certain pementage of structures will be equipped with solar thermal systems of a certain
capacity. The percentage of structures and size of systems are elective choices of the SPA
developer. Such systems may include domestic water heating and pool heating.
· Solarpower applications. The SPA developer would work with the City to make a commitment
that a certain percentage of structures will be equipped with solar photovoltaic (PV) power
generation systems. The pement of structures and size of systems are elective choices of the
SPA developer.
The following examples provided by the SDREO give a snapshot of current residential economics for
both types of solar applications:
· Solar water heating in new home construction. Using Shea Home's pdcing for the SunSystem
CopperSun ($2,250/dwelling installed), the $750 State rebate, today's natural gas prices
($1.60/therm), 200 therms/month of consumption (CEC data), and a 40% solar fraction, the
homeowner is in positive cash flow from day one.
· Photovoltaic (PV) power generation in new home construction. Using AstroPower's pricing
quote for buildings ($4,200 for a 1.2 kW system, includes the 50% State rebate), $0.15/kWh cost
of electricity, 7% loan rate for 30 years, 31% tax bracket, PV output of 1500 kWh/kW/year, and
maintenance costs of $0.02/kWh, the homeowner comes out about breakeven over the length
of the mortgage assuming electric rates rem·in high. This feasibility would improve
propodionately as the number of involved homes and PV systems increase, e.g. 100 homes
being equipped in one project. It should be noted that the initial cost of the PV system is
considerably less for new construction than to retro-fit an existing house. Builders dealing
directly with the manufacturers for large volumes of product obtain better prices.
709/100 15 6/18/02
Thera ara currently four financial incentives available to homeowners who are installing PV systems in
California:
· The Renewable Energy Buy-Down Program. This CEC program offers cash rebates on
eligible renewable energy electric generating systems of up to $4,500 per kilowatt or
50% of an eligible system pumhase price (whichever is less).
· TheCaliforniaPropertyTaxExemptionforSolarSystems. Exempts the additional value
of PV systems vs. conventional systems from property tax assessments.
· Battery Rebate Program (SB-1345). A CEC grant program that supports the purchase
and installation of solar energy systems including back up batteries for PV systems.
· The California Tax Credit (SB-17). Effective October 9, 2001, allows a tax credit of
either 15% of the purchase and installation of a solar energy system or 7.5% of the net
cost after the buy-down rebate (whichever is less).
As with energy-efficient construction generally, the solar cost/benefit equation has steadily improved in
recent years. California's recent energy crises has further underscored the attractiveness of this option.
A prominent regional example is the Scripps Ranch project being constructed by Shea Homes, where
297 homes will reportedly have solar water heating systems and 100 homes will have PV systems.
Although large-scale projects such as the Scripps Ranch project ara demonstrating that residential solar
PV is increasingly feasible, the cost-effectiveness of this option continues to be sensitive to economies
of scale for equipment purchases and the competing price of grid-delivered electricity. If local electdc
rates begin to increase again and solar PV systems can be purchased in quantity, then this option
deserves serious consideration. At a minimum, it warrants close ongoing monitoring of relevant
conditions.
709/1 O0 16 6/18/02
The feasibility of PVs in commemial buildings is even better than residential because businesses can
take advantage of state and federal incentives not available to households. For example, a 100 kW
system would cost an estimated $235,000 after all incentives and be able to generate electricity for
approximately 10C/kWh (soume: SDREO). Financial incentives currently available for solar PV in
general include:
· San Diego Self-Generation Program. This SDREO program offers rebates of $4.50/watt up to
50% of eligible project costs for PV systems between 30 kW and 1 MW. This incentive program
can be used or the CEC Emerging Renewable Buy-Down Program, but not both.
· California Energy Commission Emerging Renewable Buydown Program. The CEC, through its
Emerging Renewable Buydown Account, offers rebates of up to $4.50/watt or 50% of the cost
for eligible renewable energy generation equipment, including solar PV.
· California Property Tax Exemption. This law exempts the additional value of solar systems
versus conventional systems from property tax assessments.
· Federal Tax Incentives. There are two federal tax incentives available to commercial entities
to encourage private investment in solar energy equipment and systems: a 10% investment tax
credit and a 5-year accelerated depreciation schedule.
If SPA developers select one or both of the solar options, and builders are called upon to implement the
commitment, they can receive valuable technical assistance from SDREO and CEC solar programs,
along with resources provided by the California Solar Energy Industries Association.
2.3 Indicators
The second step in customizing INDEX to Chula Vista was the selection of indicators to gauge key
characteristics of the 12 action measures. Indicators are quantitative measurements of community
characteristics or conditions. They focus on small pieces of larger systems to give people insight into
the larger situation. In community planning, indicators are usually focused on conditions related to key
goals and policies. The premise is that plan preparation and implementation can be valuably informed
by a standard set of policy based measurements that are used to gauge planning actions.
709/100 17 6/18/02
Critedon's INDEX software is designed to suppod community planning by applying indicators
geographically to current conditions and proposed changes. Figure 1 illustrates the integration of INDEX
indicators into a typical community planning process. In the case of Chula Vista, the software has been
focused on implementation of the CO2 Reduction Plan through energy efficient land-use planning.
Given this objective, project participants selected 52 indicators to address the energy and emission
aspects of proposed land developments. The indicators are given in Table 3 with definitions, units of
measurement, and applicable land-uses. These indicators were used to score the baseline and SPA
energy values, and quantify the amount of air quality and climate change benefits embodied in the final
SPA plans.
2.4 Baselines
The next step in the pilot test was calculation of the baseline values that SPA plans would be judged
against. The baseline represents "pra-efficiency" approaches to land development without any special
effort to reduce energy use or emissions. To set the baseline, a group of three Chula Vista
neighborhoods built in the 1970s and 80s was measured with the INDEX indicators, and a weighted
average score was calculated for each indicator to constitute a baseline value for that indicator.
In choosing baseline neighborhoods, the City staff looked for areas that would be comparable to those
areas currently being developed in the community. The baseline areas needed to have land-use mixes
with individual design features similar to current SPA proposals. The selected baseline neighborhoods
included Terra Nova, and two neighborhoods in the College Estates area, all shown in Figure 2. For
purposes of the pilot study, these neighborhoods are referred to as College Estates I and II.
These neighborhoods were not considered to be practical baselines for three action measures: building
construction, solar use, and vegetation. This is because no records exist to document these conditions
at the time of the neighborhoods' original development. Instead, these measures were addressed as
follows:
· Building efficiency. This category includes Title 24 exceedence and participation in building
efficiency programs sponsored by utilities or similar organizations. The baseline was set at zero
excaedence and zero program participation under the assumption that no extra efforts were
made to achieve higher efficiencies at the time of original development in the 1970s and 80s.

power generation applications. In both cases the baseline was set at zero under the assumption
that very little solar was installed in the 1970s and 80s in such developments.
· Vegetation, This category includes the use of street trees to accomplish air pollution and
greenhouse gas uptake. The baseline was set at zero to reflect limited tree planting practices
at the time of original development.
2.5 Proposed SPA Plans
The final component of the pilot test was the group of proposed SPAs being modeled for air quality
improvement purposes. As shown in Figure 3, the SPAs selected by City staff for the pilot test included:
· Otay Ranch Village Six. This is a 386-acre project containing approximately 2000 dwellings and
a mix of commercial and public uses.
· Otay Ranch Village Eleven. This 489-acre project includes about 2300 dwellings and
commercial and public uses.
· EastLake III. This is a 748-acre project that includes a 259-acre component known as the
Woods with approximately 660 dwellings; and the Vistas, a 229-acre area of about 1400
dwellings and a mix of commercial and public uses.
As originally proposed, these SPAs already contained some level of energy-efficient features that
improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions. The challenge of the pilot test was to determine if
additional benefits can be identified and achieved.
709/100 24 6/18/02
3. PILOT TEST
3.1 Baseline Values
Having assembled the components of the pilot test, the first step in INDEX modeling was the calculation
of the basetine values. As described in the previous section, these are "pm-efficiency" indicator scorns
representative of land development practices in the 1970s and 80s. These scores form a baseline that
current SPA proposals can be judged against.
As shown in Table 4, baseline values were computed by measuring the three pm-efficiency
neighborhoods and then calculating a weighted average score for each indicator. Exceptions to the
weighted average occur with six indicators as noted in Table 4, where anomalous conditions in the
neighborhoods produced scorns that could not be considered typical. In these instances, City staff
adjusted the values to more common or practical levels (see Table 4 footnotes). To assist in interpreting
the baseline scores, Table 4 also includes comments on the scores' relationship to common pdnciples
of energy-efficient land-use planning.
3.2 Original SPA Proposals
Having set baseline values, the next step was INDEX modeling of the original SPA proposals to obtain
their indicator scores. Those SPA scores were then compared to the baseline values as shown in
Table 5.
The principal finding from the first round of INDEX modeling is that all three original SPA plans are more
energy-efficient than the baseline. Village Six is about 9% more energy-efficient than the baseline,
Village Eleven is about 1 1% more efficient, and EastLake 3 is about 5% better.
709/100 26 6/18/02
Notable characteristics of the SPAs and differences between their scores and the baseline are
summarized below by element category:
· Demographics. Villages Six and Eleven are relatively similar, each with about 350-500 acres
of land accommodating 6,000-7,000 residents, and a relatively small amount of non-residential
uses equating to 250-300 jobs. EastLake Ill is notably larger in land area at approximately 750
acres, and in employment at about 800 jobs.
· Land-use. Villages Six and Eleven generally score better than EastLake III in comparison to
baseline values. Villages Six and Eleven have favorable residential densities, neighborhood
completeness, circulation connectivity, and proximity to transit. EastLake III enjoys better
employment density and the highest neighborhood completeness, but unfavorable scores in
residential density and some circulation features, e.g. walk distance to retail and transit-oriented
residential density. In general, all three SPAs achieve their energy and emissions advantage
over the baseline in this element primarily through higher total population densities, which
reduces space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure energy use.
· Transportation. There was little change between SPA scores and baseline values in this
element, except for significant increases in pedestrian network coverage in all three SPAs, and
a drop in transit service coverage in Village Eleven.
· Infrastructure. Villages Six and Eleven residential water use scored close to the baseline, while
EastLake III was notably higher due to its lower density, larger lots whose greater amount of
landscaping is estimated to consume more water.
· Environment. Village Six has a park space supply score notably below the City standard (but
is nonetheless meeting its park demand through the provision of a seven-acre neighborhood
park on-site consistent with City requirements, and the community park acreage is being met
off-site pursuant to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan). Villages Six and Eleven
improved park proximity for their residents in comparison to the baseline, but that distance
worsened in EastLake I1[. Village E]even's open space contiguity score is unusually Iow,
suggesting unfavorable fragmentation of spaces (generally 0.5 or higher is desirable). This
element also contains the energy and emission scores that summarize the combined effects of
land-use, buildings, transportation, and infrastructure. Of the ten energy and emission
indicators, the principal indicator is total energy use per year by residents and employees
combined. All three SPAs exceed the baseline in efficiency terms, largely due to higher
709/1 O0 34 6/18/02
population densities. The SPAs' favorable energy scores are mirrored by similar reductions in
pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions.
3.3 Modified SPA Proposals
The next step in the pilot test was an invitation for developers to submit modified SPA plans that
achieved even greater energy efficiency and air quality than the original proposals. SPA developers had
the following options available for modifying their plans in ways that further increased energy efficiency
and improved air quality:
· Land-use density. This is the intensity of use on properties measured in dwelling units per acre
for residential uses and employees per acre for non-residential uses. Extensive research
nationally and internationally has conclusively demonstrated that the strongest urban planning
technique for increasing energy efficiency is increasing land-use density. Density increases
produce significant energy savings in building space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure
operations. Although it may have been too late for major density changes in the three test
SPAs, this option should be examined in future SPA processes because of its sizable benefits.
· Land-usediversity. Thisisthemixofresidentialand non-residential uses in anarea. Research
has also demonstrated that another important technique for increasing energy efficiency is
increasing the diversity of land-uses. Greater diversity produces energy savings in the same
space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure end-uses as density does through better use of
system capacities. Again, it may have been too late to consider diversify changes in the three
test SPAs, but the option warrants future consideration in other SPAs.
· Multimodal circulation design. Another strong technique for saving energy in land development
is designing an efficient and convenient multimodal cimulation system. Such a system is
composed of features that allow walking, biking, and transit use in addition to auto driving.
Important components include relatively dense street networks, completeness of sidewalks, and
relatively direct routes from common origins to popular destinations. As with density and
diversity, it may have been too late for significant circulation changes in the test SPAs.
· Building construction standards. SPA developers may opt for a commitment to reduce building
energy use by exceeding Title 24. Developers could propose the amount of Title 24 exceedence
per building type and the number of buildings that will participate in such exceedence. A
developer could exercise this option by committing to a utility or comparable energy efficiency
709/1 O0 35 6/18/02
i. ~.'.~ ~t
program that offers beyond-code services, or by simply committing that merchant builders will
achieve the stipulated exceedence by means of their own choosing.
· Solar systems. SPA developers could opt to reduce grid-supplied energy by installing solar thermal
or PV systems in buildings. Developers could propose the type and capacity of systems to be used,
and the number of structures that will receive such systems.
· Tree planting. This category allowed SPA developers to offer additional tree planting that will offset
greenhouse gas emissions. Selection of this option will not improve a SPA's energy efficiency or air
pollutant emissions, but will help mitigate climate change.
After consideration of these options, the test SPA developers voluntarily selected the following action
measures to improve their projects' energy efficiency and air quality:
· EastLake IlL 72 single-family homes will achieve a 15% Title 24 exceedence using ComfortWise,
SDG&E California Energy Star Program, or equivalent program; 255 single-family homes will achieve
a 15% Title 24 exceedenca using the SDG&E California Energy Star Program; and an additional 855
trees will be planted.
· Otay Ranch Village Six. 482 single-family homes will achieve a 10% Title 24 exceedence using
designeflbuilder-selected measures; and an additional 792 trees will be planted.
· Otay Ranch Village Eleven. No additional measures selected.
With these modifications, the SPA plans were modeled again to recalculate indicator scores and identify
final energy savings and air quality improvements. These results are shown in Table 6 indicating an
approximate 1% energy use reduction for EastLake III and Village Six between original and modified
plans. Also, the additional tree planting in EastLake III and Village Six resulted in beneficial CO2 uptake
increases of 25% and 22%, respectively.

3,4 Final Results
Based on the modified SPA plans, the pilot test's final results for energy savings, air quality
improvements, and greenhouse gas reductions are as follows:

SECTION 11.7 AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
11.7.1 Introduction
Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires all major development projects (50 dwelling units
or greater) to prepare an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP). On November 14, 2000, the City Council
adopted the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan, that included twenty action measures intended to
promote clean fuel vehicles, alternatives to driving, transportation efficient land use planning and energy
efficient building construction. Twelve of the action measures directly relate to land use planning and
air quality improvements. The AQIP includes implementation of applicable measures identified in the
CO2 Reduction Plan.
The City is developing guidelines for the preparation and implementation of required AQIP's. A pilot
study was initiated to identify and evaluate the relative effectiveness and costs of applying various
design and energy conservation features in new development projects. One of the goals of the study
is to identify implementation measures that reduce air pollutants and CO2 emissions and exceed
existing mandates wherever possible including the Title 24 Energy Code. The INDEX computer model,
developed by Criterion Planners/Engineers, was used in the pilot study to analyze the project.
The twelve land use measures identified in the CO2 Reduction Plan were translated into action
measures for the pilot study as follows:
Land-Use
1. Compact development - minimize sprawl.
2. Density - intensity of land use.
3. Diversity - mix and variety of uses.
4. Orientation toward pedestrian and bicycles.
5. Orientation toward transit.

12. Water Use - land planning that reduces water consumption.
The INDEX Pilot Test: SPA Air Quality Improvement Plans report prepared by Criterion
Planners/Engineers identifies various options available to improve energy efficiency and air quality. See
Appendix.
11.7.2 Purpose
The purpose of the EastLake III Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) is to reduce emissions and energy
use and to fulfill the requirements of the Growth Management Ordinance. The AQIP addresses design
methods to reduce vehicle tdps, maintain or improve traffic flow, and reduce vehicle miles traveled. It
also identifies a means of reducing emissions (direct or indirect) from the project, and defines a program
to monitor compliance.
11.7.3 Regulatory Framework
Federal, state and local agencies share responsibilities for developing and implementing air quality
regulations and improvement plans. The federal and state agencies have established air quality
standards and requirements for compliance. The local agencies focus on adopting strategies and
regulations to achieve compliance with the state and federal mandates, Specific air quality analysis for
the project is included in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the EastLake Ill SPA Plan. As
mentioned eadier, the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires preparation and
implementation of an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) for those projects with 50 dwelling units or
greater,
709~23 2 6/18/02
11.7.3 Project Description
The Project encompasses approximately 793 acres located within the City of Chuta Vista, and is
bordered by the Rolling Hills Ranch development to the north, and the planned EastLake Business
Center II, EastLake Trails subdivision, and Otay Ranch Village Eleven to the west. The Upper and
Lower Otay Reservoirs form the eastern boundary of the Project. The planning area consists of two
subdivisions identified in the EastLake I~1 General Development Plan as EastLake Woods and EastLake
Vistas. The Project area also includes the property located directly adjacent to the southern boundary
of the Olympic Training Center, and is referred to as the Panhandle Site, which is designated as part
of a future University of California campus. Specific land use has not been determined for the
Panhandle Site and, therefore, this area was not included in this study. A separate AQIP will be
prepared for the site once more specific proposed land uses are determined. Proposed land uses for
the planning area are summarized in Figure 1.
As was indicated by the initial INDEX scores, the design of the EastLake Ill SPA contains energy-
efficient features that improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions beyond levels that are found in
traditional suburban communities.
11.7.4 Air Quality Indicators
As described in the attached report, twelve action measures identified in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Reduction Plan were used to select 52 key indicators. The indicators gauge the key characteristics of
the twelve action measures and focus on the goals of the pilot study. The 52 indicators were selected
to address the energy efficiency and emission reduction aspects of the proposed land development.
11.7.5 Project Evaluation
Baseline Values
The first step in INDEX modeling was the calculation of the baseline values. These are "pre-efficiency"
indicator scores representative of land development practices in the 1970s and 80s. These scores form
a baseline that the EastLake III proposal was judged against.

As shown in Table 1, baseline values were computed by measuring the three pre-efficiency
neighborhoods and then calculating a weighted average score for each indicator. Exceptions to the
weighted average occur with six indicators as noted in Table 1, where anomalous conditions in the
neighborhoods produced scores that could not be considered typical. In these instances, City staff
adjusted the values to more common or practical levels (see Table 1 footnotes). To assist in interpreting
the baseline scores, Table 1 also includes comments on the scores' relationship to common principles
of energy-efficient land-use planning.
Original EastLake III Proposal
Having set baseline values, the next step was INDEX modeling of the original EastLake Ill proposal to
obtain its indicator scores. Those EastLake III scores were then compared to the baseline values as
shown in Table 2.
The principal finding from the first round of INDEX modeling is that EastLake III is about 5% more
energy efficient than the baseline.
Notable characteristics of EastLake III and differences between its scores and the baseline are
summarized below by element category:
· Land-use. EastLake Ill enjoys favorable employment density and high neighborhood
completeness, but unfavorable scores in residential density and some circulation features, e.g.
walk distance to retail and transit-oriented residential density. In general, EastLake III achieves
its energy and emissions advantage over the baseline in this element primarily through higher
total population densities, which reduces space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure energy
use.
· Transportation. There was little change between EastLake III scores and baseline values in this
element, except for significant increases in pedestrian network coverage.
· Infrastructure. EastLake Ill was notably higher than the baseline due to its larger lots whose
greater amount of landscaping is estimated to consume more water.
709/023 5 6/1 6/02
· Environment. This element contains the energy and emission scores that summarize the
combined effects of land-use, buildings, transportation, and infrastructure. Of the ten energy
and emission indicators, the principal indicator is total energy use per year by residents and
employees combined. EastLake III exceeded the baseline in efficiency terms, largely due to
higher population density. The project's favorable energy scores are mirrored by similar
reductions in pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions.
Modified EastLake III Proposal
The next step in the pilot test was an invitation for developem to submit modified SPA plans that
achieved even greater energy efficiency and air quality than the original proposals. SPA developers had
the following options available for modifying their plans in ways that further increased energy efficiency
and improved air quality:
· Land-use density. This is the intensity of use on properties measured in dwelling units per acre
for residential uses and employees per acre for non-residential uses. Extensive reseamh
nationally and internationally has conclusively demonstrated that the strongest urban planning
technique for increasing energy efficiency is increasing land-use density. Density increases
produce significant energy savings in building space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure
operations. Although it may have been too late for major density changes in the three test
SPAs, this option should be examined in future SPA processes because of its sizable benefits.
· Land-usediversity. Thisisthemixofresidentialand non-residential uses in an area. Research
has also demonstrated that another important technique for increasing energy efficiency is
increasing the diversity of land-uses. Greater diversity produces energy savings in the same
space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure end-uses as density does through better use of
system capacities. Again, it may have been too late to consider diversity changes in the three
test SPAs, but the option warrants future consideration in other SPAs.
· Multimodal circulation design. Another strong technique for saving energy in land development
is designing an efficient and convenient multimodal cimulation system. Such a system is
composed of features that allow walking, biking, and transit use in addition to auto driving.
Important components include relatively dense street networks, completeness of sidewalks, and
relatively direct routes from common odgins to popular destinations. As with density and
diversity, it may have been too late for significant circulation changes in the test SPAs.
709/023 13 6/18/02
· Building construction standards. SPA developers may opt for a commitment to reduce
building energy use by exceeding Title 24. Developers could propose the amount of Title 24
exceedence per building type and the number of buildings that will participate in such
exceedence. A developer could exercise this option by committing to a utility or comparable
energy efficiency program that offers beyond-code services, or by simply committing that
memhant builders will achieve the stipulated exceedence by means of their own choosing.
· Solar systems. SPA developers could opt to reduce grid-supplied energy by installing solar
thermal or PV systems in buildings. Developers could propose the type and capacity of
systems to be used, and the number of structures that will receive such systems.
· Tree planting. This category allowed SPA developers to offer additional tree planting that will
offset greenhouse gas emissions. Selection of this option will not improve a SPA's energy
efficiency or air pollutant emissions, but will help mitigate climate change.
After consideration of these options, EastLake III voluntarily selected the following action measures
to improve its energy efficiency and air quality: 72 single-family homes will achieve a 15% Title 24
exceedence using ComfortWise, SDG&E California Energy Star Program or equivalent program;
255 single-family homes will achieve a 15% Title 24 exceedence using the SDG&E California
Energy Star Program; and an additional 855 trees will be planted.
With these modifications, EastLake Ill was modeled again to recalculate indicator scores and
identify final energy savings and air quality improvements. These results are shown in Table 3
indicating an approximate 1% energy use reduction for EastLake III. This is in addition to the 4.8%
energy use reduction between the original EastLake III plan and the baseline.
14
Final Results
Based on the modified EastLake Ill plan, the final results for energy savings, air quality improvements,
and greenhouse gas reductions are as follows:
Baseline EastLake III
Total energy use (MMBtu/yr/capita) 75.56 71.19
% energy reduction - - - 5.8
Total air pollutant emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 544.85 544.75
% air pollutant emissions reduction - - - 0.01
Total greenhouse gas emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 10493 10404
% greenhouse gas emissions reduction - - - 0.85
11.7.6 Implementation Measures
The following Air Quality Measures will be implemented in EastLake IIh
1. Building Ener,qy Efficiency Program & Title 24 Exceedence:
EastLake Woods - 72 single-family homes will participate in ComfortWise, SDG&E California
Energy Star Program or equivalent program resulting in approximately 15% Title 24 exceedenoe.
EastLake Woods - 255 single-family homes will participate in the SDG&E California Energy Star
Program resulting in approximately 15% Title 24 exceedence.

Division and the GreenStar Program Coordinator.
To further promote the AQIP, the Master Developers will encourage all merchant builders to
participate in a building efficiency program.

2. Additional Tree Plantinq to offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
In addition to the 3,399 street trees originally proposed, another 855 trees will be planted within
the slopes and other open space areas as follows:
EastLake Woods - 262 trees
EastLake Woods West - 233 trees
EastLake Vistas - 360 trees

11.7.2 Purpose
The purpose of the Otay Ranch Village Six Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) is to reduce emissions
and energy use and to fulfill the requirements of the Growth Management Ordinance. The AQIP
addresses design methods to reduce vehicle trips, maintain or improve traffic flow, and reduce vehicle
miles traveled. It also identifies a means of reducing emissions (direct or indirect) from the project, and

standards and requirements for compliance. The local agencies focus on adopting strategies and
regulations to achieve compliance with the state and federal mandates. Specific air quality analysis for
the project is included in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA
Plan. As mentioned earlier, the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires
preparation and implementation of an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) for those projects with 50
dwelling units or greater.
709~022 2 6/18/02
11.7.4 Project Description
The Project encompasses approximately 386.4 acres located within the Village Six SPA of the Otay
Ranch GDP. Land uses include single-family residential, multi-family residential, mixed-use commercial
and residential, parks, schools, Community Purpose Facilities (CPF), and open space. Proposed land
uses for the planning area are summarized in Figure 1 based on gross acreages.
McMillin's portion consists primarily of single-family and multi-family residential construction, a 0.8~acre
common usable open space area, a 32.5-acre pdvate high school, and an 11.5-acre chumh site. The
lots being developed by McMillin are located in the northwestern and southeastern most sections of
Village Six.
The Otay Ranch Company's portion of Village Six includes single-family and multi-family residential
construction, a 7.6-acre neighborhood park, a 10-acre elementary school, mixed-use commercial and
residential development, two CPF sites, and open space. The lots being developed by Otay Ranch
Company are located in the northeastern and southwestern most sections of Village Six.
Otay Ranch Village Six has been designed as a neo-traditional transit-oriented urban village~ It contains
higher density development, a pedestrian friendly path and trail network and provision of transit services.
As was indicated by the initial INDEX scores, the design of the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA contains
energy-efficient features that improve air quality and red uce CO2 emissions beyond levels that are found
in traditional suburban communities.
11.7,4 Air Quality Indicators
As described in the attached INDEX pilot test report, twelve action measures identified in the Carbon
Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan were used to select 52 key indicators. The indicators gauge the key
characteristics of the twelve action measures and focus on the goals of the pilot study. The 52
indicators were selected to address the energy efficiency and emission reduction aspects of the
proposed land development.

The flint step in INDEX modeling was the calculation of the baseline values. These are "pre-efficiency"
indicator scores representative of land development practices in the 1970s and 80s. These scores form
a baseline that the Village Six proposal was judged against.
As shown in Table 1, baseline values were computed by measuring the three pre-efficiency

the baseline scores, Table 1 also includes comments on the scores' relationship to common principles
of energy-efficient land-use planning.
Original Village Six Proposal
Having set baseline values, the next step was INDEX modeling of the original Village Six proposal to
obtain its indicator scores. Those Village Six scores were then compared to the baseline values as
shown in Table 2.
The principal finding from the first round of INDEX modeling was that Village Six is about 9% more
energy-efficient than the baseline. Notable characteristics of Village Six and differences between its
scores and the baseline are summarized below by element category:
· Land-use. Village Six has favorable residential densities, neighborhood completeness,
circulation connectivity, and proximity to transit. In general, Village Six achieves its energy and
emissions advantage over the baseline in this element primarily through higher total population
densities, which reduces space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure energy use.
· Transportation. There was little change between Village Six scores and baseline values in this
element, except for significant increases in pedestrian network coverage.
· Infrastructure. Village Six residential water use scored close to the baseline.
709/022 5 6/18/02
· Environment. Village Six has a park space supply score notably below the City standard (but
is nonetheless meeting its park demand through the provision of a seven-acre neighborhood
park onsite consistent with City requirements, and the community park acreage requirement is
being met off-site pursuant to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan). Village Six improved
park proximity for residents in comparison to the baseline. This element contains the energy
and emission scores that summarize the combined effects of land-use, buildings, transportation,
and infrastructure. Of the ten energy and emission indicators, the principal indicator is total
energy use per year by residents and employees combined. Village Six exceeded the baseline
in efficiency terms, largely due to higher population densities. Favorable energy scores are
mirrored by similar reductions in pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions.
Modified Village Six Proposal
The next step in the pilot test was an invitation for developers to submit modified SPA plans that
achieved even greater energy efficiency and air quality than the original proposals. SPA developers had
the following options available for modifying their plans in ways that further increased energy efficiency
and improved air quality:
· Land-use density. This is the intensity of use on properties measured in dwelling units per acre
for residential uses and employees per acre for non-residential uses. Extensive research
nationally and internationally has conclusively demonstrated that the strongest urban planning
technique for increasing energy efficiency is increasing land-use density. Density increases
produce significant energy savings in building space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure
operations. Although it may have been too late for major density changes in the three test
SPAs, this option should be examined in future SPA processes because of its sizable benefits.
· Land-use diversity. This is the mix of residential and non-residential uses in an area. Research
has also demonstrated that another important technique for increasing energy efficiency is
increasing the diversity of land-uses. Greater diversity produces energy savings in the same
space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure end-uses as density does through better use of
system capacities. Again, it may have been too late to consider diversity changes in the three
test SPAs, but the option warrants future consideration in other SPAs.
709~022 13 6/18/02
· Multimodal circulation design. Another strong technique for saving energy in land development
is designing an efficient and convenient mulfimodal circulation system. Such a system is
composed of features that allow walking, biking, and transit use in addition to auto ddving.
Important components include relatively dense street networks, completeness of sidewalks, and
relatively direct routes from common origins to popular destinations. As with density and
diversity, it may have been too late for significant circulation changes in the test SPAs.
· Building construction standards. SPA developers may opt for a commitment to reduce building
energy use by exceeding Title 24. Developers could propose the amount of Title 24 exceedence
per building type and the number of buildings that will participate in such exceedence. A
developer could exercise this option by committing to a utility or comparable energy efficiency
program that offers beyond-code services, or by simply committing that merchant builders will
achieve the stipulated exceedence by means of their own choosing.
· So/ar systems. SPA developers could opt to reduce grid-supplied energy by installing solar
thermal or PV systems in buildings. Developers could propose the type and capacity of systems
to be used, and the number of structures that will receive such systems.
· Tree planting. This categor,j allowed SPA developers to offer additional tree planting that will
offset greenhouse gas emissions. Selection of this option will not improve a SPA's energy
efficiency or air pollutant emissions, but will help mitigate climate change.
After consideration of these options, Village Six voluntarily selected the following action measures to
improve their projects' energy efficiency and air quality: 482 single-family homes will achieve a 10%
Title 24 exceedence using designer/builder-selected measures; and an additional 792 trees will be
planted.
With these modifications, Village Six was modeled again to recalculate indicator scores and identify final
energy savings and air quality improvements. These results are shown in Table 3 indicating an
approximate 1% energy use reduction for Village Six between original and modified plans. This is in
addition to the 8.6% energy use reduction between the original Village Six plan and the baseline.
709/022 14 6/18/02
Final Results
Based on the modified Village Six plan, the final results for energy savings, air quality improvements,
and greenhouse gas reductions are as follows:
Baseline Village Six
Total energy use (MMBtu/yr/capita) 75.56 68.25
% energy reduction - - - 9.7
Total air pollutant emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 544.85 543.68
% air pollutant emissions reduction - - - 0.21
Total greenhouse gas emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 10493 9873
% greenhouse gas emissions reduction - - - 5.9
11.7.6 Implementation Measures
The following Air Quality Measures will be implemented in Otay Ranch Village Six:
1. Title 24 Exceedence:
McMillin Land Development
· Construction of 482 single-family detached homes to exceed Title 24 by 10%.
Otay Ranch Company
· Encourage all memhant builders to participate in a building efficiency program.
2. Additional Tree Planting to offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions

11.7.1 Introduction
Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires all major development projects (50 dwelling units
or greater) to prepare an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP). On November 14, 2000, the City Council
adopted the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan, that included twenty action measures intended to
promote clean fuel vehicles, alternatives to driving, transportation efficient land use planning and energy
efficient building construction. Twelve of the action measures directly relate to land use planning and
air quality improvements. The AQIP includes implementation of applicable measures identified in the
CO2 Reduction Plan.
The City is developing guidelines for the preparation and implementation of required AQIP's. A pilot
study was initiated to identify and evaluate the relative effectiveness and costs of applying various
design and energy conservation features in new development projects. One of the goals of the study
is to identify implementation measures that reduce air pollutants and CO2 emissions and exceed
existing mandates wherever possible including the Title 24 Energy Code. The INDEX computer model,

The twelve land use measures identified in the CO2 Reduction Plan were translated into action
measures for the pilot study as follows:
Land-Use

11.7.2 Purpose
The purpose of the Otay Ranch Village Eleven Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) is to reduce
emissions and energy use and to fulfill the requirements of the Growth Management Ordinance. The
AQIP addresses design methods to reduce vehicle trips, maintain or improve traffic flow, and reduce
vehicle miles traveled. It also identifies a means of reducing emissions (direct or indirect) from the
project, and defines a program to monitor compliance.
11.7.3 Regulatory Framework
Federal, state and local agencies share responsibilities for developing and implementing air quality
regulations and improvement plans. The federal and state agencies have established air quality
standards and requirements for compliance. The local agencies focus on adopting strategies and
regulations to achieve compliance with the state and federal mandates. Specific air quality analysis for
the project is included in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Otay Ranch Village Eleven
SPA Plan. As mentioned earlier, the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires
preparation and implementation of an Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP) for those projects with 50
dwelling units or greater.
709/021 2 6/18/02
11.7.3 Project Description
Development within the 489-acre Village Eleven project includes 2,304 mixed density residential
dwelling units, two schools, commercial areas, parks, and open space. The residential development
consists of 1,311 single family residential units and 993 multi-family units. There is a mixed use area on
the site that contains high density residential development and commercial development. The irrigated
open space portions of the project will be maintained by a homeowners association or community
facilities district. Land uses are summarized in Figure 1.
As was indicated by the initial INDEX scores, the design of the Otay Ranch Village Eleven SPA contains
energy-efficient features that improve air quality and red uce CO2 emissions beyond levels that are found
in traditional suburban communities.
11.7.4 Air Quality Indicators
As described in the attached report, twelve action measures identified in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Reduction Plan were used to select 52 key indicators. The indicators gauge the key characteristics of
the twelve action measures and focus on the goals of the pilot study. The 52 indicators were selected

the baseline scores, Table 1 also includes comments on the scores' relationship to common principles
of energy-efficient land-use planning.
709~21 3 6/18/02
Original Village Eleven Proposal
Having set baseline values, the next step was INDEX modeling of the original Village Eleven proposal
to obtain its indicator scores. Those Village Eleven scores were then compared to the baseline values
as shown in Table 2.
The principal finding from the first round of iNDEX modeling was that Village Eleven is about 11% more
energy efficient than the baseline. Notable characteristics of the Village Eleven and differences between
its scores and the baseline are summarized below by element category:
· Land-use. Village Eleven generally scores better than baseline values. Village Eleven has
favorable residential densities, neighborhood completeness, circulation connectivity, and
proximity to transit. In general, Village Eleven achieves its energy and emissions advantage
over the baseline in this element primarily through higher total population densities, which
reduces space conditioning, travel, and infrastructure energy use.
· Transportation. There was little change between Village Eleven scores and baseline values in
this element, except for significant increases in pedestrian network coverage, and a drop in
transit service coverage.
· Infrastructure. Village Eleven residential water use scored close to the baseline.
· Environment. Village Eleven improved park proximity for their residents in comparison to the
baseline. Village Eleven's open space contiguity score is unusually Iow, suggesting unfavorable
fragmentation of spaces (generally 0.5 or higher is desirable). This element also contains the
energy and emission scores that summarize the combined effects of land-use, buildings,
transportation, and infrastructure. Of the ten energy and emission indicators, the principal
indicator is total energy use per year by residents and employees combined. Village Eleven
exceeds the baseline in efficiency terms, largely due to higher population densities. The
Village's favorable energy scores are mirrored by similar red uctions in pollutant and greenhouse
gas emissions.
709/021 10 6/18/02
Modified SPA Proposal
The next step in the pilot test was aa invitation for developers to submit modified SPA plans that
achieved even greater energy efficiency and air quality than the odginal proposals. Village Eleven
elected not to modify its original proposal.
Final Results
Based on the final Village Eleven plan, the results for energy savings, air quality improvements, and
greenhouse gas reductions are as follows:
Baseline Village Eleven
Total energy use (MMBtu/yr/capita) 75.56 67.39
% energy reduction - - - 10.8
Total air pollutant emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 544.85 543.59
% air pollutant emissions reduction - - - 0.23
Total greenhouse gas emissions (Ibs/yr/capita) 10493 9833
% §reenhouse 9as emissions reduction i - - - 8.29
II.?.$ Implementation Measures
The following Air Quality Measures will be implemented in Otay Ranch Village Eleven:
1. Comply with Section 5.11.6 Mitigation Measures, in Otay Ranch GDP
AmendmentsNillage Eleven SPA Plan Environmental Impact Report 01-02.
2. Utilize passive design concepts that make use of the naturally mild climate to increase energy
efficiency.
3. Provide a gas connection to firepraces to encourage use of log lighters or of artificial fireplace
fogs.
4. Provide outside electrical outlets to encourage use of electrically-powered yard maintenance
equipment.
709/021 13 6/18/02
5. Ensure the availability of more than two phone lines to each home for in-home offices, and other
telecommuting needs.
6. When home size dictates, a 50 gallon (or smaller) water heater with an energy factor of 0.6 will
be used. (Approximately 780 to 877 single-family units) Exclusion for spa/tub configuration will
be considered.
7. Dual-glazed windows with vinyl framed windows for all single-family detached units.
To further promote the AQIP, the Master Developer will recommend the following measures be
considered by all Builders:
· Swimming pools should use solar energy with back-up Iow NOx water heaters where lot and
house size can accommodate.
· Low NOx commercial-sized heaters should be installed in all larger on-site facilities.
· Provide 220-volt electrical service to the garage for an electrically powered vehicle charging
station.
· Utilize energy-efficient lighting wherever feasible.
· Provide an outside natural gas connection to encourage use of gas-fired barbecues.
· Participation in the SDG&E, ComfortWise, EPA "Energy Star", or equivalent program is
encouraged to promote energy conservation.
· Use of "Low E" windows.
· Planting of additional trees in single-family yards.

Permit PCC-02-50.
Page 2, Item No.: /9~_~
Meeting Date: 08-13-2002
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The project site is located at the Auld Goff Golf Course at 525-549 Hunte Parkway. The 40
acre parcel is zoned as Agriculture (A8) Zone. The Auld Golf Course is on Hunte Parkway
north of Proctor Valley Road.
2. General Plan, Zoning and Land Use
The project is located in the Agriculture (8) Zone~ and has a General Plan Land Use Designation
of Open Space. The following table specifies the types of land uses surrounding the project site:
General Plan Zoning Current Land Use
Site: Open Space A-8 Auld Golf Course
North: Open Space OS Open Space
South: Residential/LM PC/R1 Rolling Hills Ranch
East: Residential/Low PC/R1 Proposed Residential
West: Residential/LM PC/R1 Residential
The purpose of the Agricultural Zone is to provide a zone with appropriate uses for areas rural in
character, which are undeveloped and not yet ready for urbanization. Cellular facilities are
considered an unclassified use in this zone and require a conditional use permit.
3. Proposal
Nextel Communications proposes to construct an unmanned cellular communications facility at
the Auld Golf Course located at 525-549 Hunte Parkway. The proposed facility would consist of
one 63 foot monopine and one I i'-6 by 20'-0', 12 foot 3 inch high equipment shelter. To keep
conformity with the existing landscape, two live, 25 foot tall, pine trees will be planted adjacent
to the proposed monopine.
The antennas are proposed to be placed on the 63 foot monopine. The antenna height would be
approximately 55 feet, measured from ground level to the center of the antem~as. Three sectors
of antennas are proposed each with a maximum of five antennas, for a total of up to fifteen
antennas. The proposed antennas would be integrated to minimize visual impacts.
Page 3, Item No.:
Meeting Date: 08-13~2002
The proposed equipment shelter would be built on a concrete slab m~d would have corrugated
metal siding. It will reflect the architectural features (including color and design) and
landscaping of the existing maintenance building.
4. Analysis:
In accordance with Section 19.48 (Unclassified Uses) and Section 19.20.040 (G), Conditional
Use Permits are required for uses listed in this section of the Zoning Code, and shall be
considered by the City Council upon recommendation by the Planning Commission.
Due to the increase in public demand for cellular use and coverage, several cell sites have been
located within Chula Vista. Nextel is proposing a cell site at the Auld Golf Course to enhance
cellular service. The proposed cellular site will allow' Nextel to maintain signal coverage within
the southern portion of the region.
The proposed site is zoned Agricultural (8) and is not immediately surrounded by residences.
There are very few, if any other, large non-residential parcels that will satisfy the coverage
objective for this specific area.
The proposed height~ of the monopine and the two live pine trees appear to be reasonable for the
proposed location and zone. The two live pines and other live trees on the site should grow over
time to a comparable scale. Further, per Section 19.16.040 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code,
the proposed cellular site is not subject to the height limitations of the Agriculture (8) Zone.
The proposed use appears to meet the findings necessary to grant Conditional Use Permit, PCC-
02-50.
1. The proposed use is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility, which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community.
The proposed project is desirable as it will increase public convenience by providing
essential communication service in the area. The proposed use will be constructed to
match the existing landscape in form and character. The proposed use will not interfere
with any existing activities or conveniences of the general public and will contribute to
the general well being of the community by ensuring uninterrupted cellular service in the
South Bay area.
2. The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity.
Accessibility to clear and reliable communications, which can continue to function in the
event of an emergency or natural disaster, may help to enhance the general health, safety,
and welfare of the citizens of Chula Vista. The proposed monopine and equipment
Page 4, Item No.: / ''?
Meeting Date: 08-13-2002
shelter will not create a negative visual impact as it is well removed from any residential
uses and will conform to the existing environment and landscape.
3. The proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
code for such use.
The proposed use must comply with the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit, PCC-
02-50 as recommended by Planning Commission and approved by the City Council. All
necessary permits from the City to install, operate, and maintain the facility will be
obtained.
4. The granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the general plan
of the city or the adopted plan of any governmental agency.
The proposed use is consistent with the general plan of the city. According to the Eastern
Territories Area Plan Section of the General Plan, most development will take place in
the Eastern portion of the City. It is Goal #2 of said Area Plan to accommodate and
regulate such development. The proposed cellular facility will help accommodate the
communication needs of such high development throughout the South Bay, as well as the
Eastern portion of the City. It is a passive use and therefore will not adversely affect the
policy and goals of the General Plan.
5. Conclusion:
The proposed use is compatible with the existing uses on-site at the Auld Golf Course. The
proposed telecommunications facility will conform to all the development standards of the
Agricultural (8) Zone as well as the policies and goals identified in the City Of Chula Vista
General Plan. Staff, therefore, recommends approval based upon the findings and conditions of
the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this project. The applicant
will be responsible for all processing fees.

PR OdE CT DESCRIPTION:
Nextel Communications, Inc., d/b/a Nextel Communications, has been authorized by the
Federal Communications Commission (F.C.C.) to construct and operate the first dual purpose
digital mobile radio system in the Unites States. Nextel's Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio
(ESMR) system provides four functions in one hand-held mobile telephone unit: paging, direct-
connect two-way radio communication, internet connectiun, and regular wireless mobile service.
The proposed facility consists of one (1) antenna structure designed to resemble a pine
tree ("~onnpine"), and an adjacent equipment shelter to house radio equipment. The monopine
will measure sixty-fi~ree feet (63') in height, and will contain three (3) sectors of antennas. Each
anzevz:a sector will contain a m~imum of five (5) antennas, for a total of up to fifteen (I 5)
~qte~'~. The equipment she]ter measures 11 ~-6" by 20'-0", and will be placed adjacent to the
monop~ne. To mitigate any potential visual impacts. Nextel will plant two (2) live pine trees
adjacent to the proposed monopine.
a. The proposed use at the particular location is necessat3., or desirable to provide a service or
facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
Mobile telephones are becoming more and more prevalent in society, with a new subscriber
being added about every 42 seconds. Over 117,000 calls to 911 are made daih' by mobile
phone users across the United States. This consumer demand drives the wireless'carriers'
n~d to place new cell sites across the nation.
T'ne nature of Nextel's unique direct connect feature makes it the most efficient method of
se,cured communicmions for organizations working to protect the public safety. There have
been a number of newsworthy events that involved the Nextel communications system:
· During the 1994 Northridge earthquake disaster Nextel ',,as the provider of
communications sen, ices for the earthquake relief provided by the Red Cross. In
the aftermath of the Seattle earthquake in 2001, landlines were overloaded bv the
volume of calls. The F.A.A. used their Nextel phones and were provided wi~h
additional phones to use in their assessment of damage and for use in the
organization's temporary air traffic control mobile unit.
NEXTEE
· Closer to home, during the unfortunate school shooting in Santee, Nextel's nearby
cell site (abutting residential property) provided communications for police and
city personnel when the regular telephone services were overloaded by the sudden
high volume of calls.
· During the Viejas fire, the conventional communication systems in Lawson
Valley did not function for days during the reconstruction of the infrastructure
that was destroyed by the fire. This left the area without the ability for the public
to make 911 notifications unless cell phones were used.
· In June, 2001, Nextel placed a temporary cell site at the San Diego Convention
Center. The temporary site was placed to provide the hundreds of California
Highway Patrol officers as well as officers from the San Diego Police Department
wSth secured communications through their Nextel phones while they provided
for the public safety during the Bio 2001 conference.
· And most recently, in the aftermath of the September 11 tragedy, the thousands of
Nextel mobile phones that were used by public safety first-response teams and
support personnel would have been of no use had there not been an existing
communications ceil site network in place in the New York area.
The location of the project will be desirable to the public convenience and welfare because it
x~4l] enhance the coverage and capacity ofNextel's ,Mreless network in the immediate area.
~2s location has been coordinated with the proper~y owner, so that this unstaffed wireless
teie:ommunications facility will not impact the functionality, use, and aesthetics of the
pTo?er~,.L
b. The proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental
to the health, safe~ or general welfare of persons residing or workb~g in the viciniO,, or
injurious to property or bnprovements in the vicinity:
T-ne installation of antennas and transmission equipment Mil not be detrimental to the health,
sa~:e~ or general welfare of persons in the vicinity, as the facility, will operate in full
compliance ~;ith all local, state and federal regulations including the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The facility will not result in any material changes to the
ch~,'acter of the local community, as the antenna structure wilt resemble a pine tree and two
Iive pine trees ~fiI1 be planted. In addition, the existing trees in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed facility will serve to screen the equipment.
c. The proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this code for
such use:
~l-he proposed facility will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the city
code for the proposed use, with the exception of the height of the monopine. Nextel is

requesting to exceed the thirty-five feet (35') height limit due to technical requirements.
Attached are two (2) coverage maps, one showing coverage with antennas at thirty feet (30')
high (which would comply with the height limit), and the other showing coverage with
antennas at the proposed fifty-five feet (55') high. As the coverage maps depict, there is a
significant increase in coverage with antermas at 55'. More specifically, coverage extends
into the commercial/industrial park located southwest of the proposed facility, as well as to
neighboring residential areas. Antennas at 30' would provide coverage to the golf course,
but only spot~ in-car coverage to the commercial/industrial park. The facility will also
comply with all state and federal requirements for wireless facilities.
d. The granting of this conditional use will not adversely affect the general plan of the ciO~ or
the adopted plan of any governmental agency:
The proposed use MIl not have an adverse affect on the general plan or adjacent properties.
as the adjacent and abutting properties will have a limited view of the facility. The facility
Mil be located ,Mthin the existing Auld Golf Course, tucked within existing trees. The
smTounding uses are open space and high-tension wires to the North, a water reserx, oir and
open space to the East. residential to the South, and open space to the West.
Unlike other land uses, which can be spatially determined through the General Plan or other
land use plans, the location of wireless telecommunications facilities are based on technical
requirements which include sen, ice area, geographical elevations, alignment with
neighboring sit,-s and customer demand components. Placement within the urban ~eography
is dspendent on these requirements. Accordingly, wireless telecommunication fac~-Iities have
been located adjacent to and within ail major land use categories including residential.
commercial, indusrriaI, open space, etc. proving to be compatible in all locations. Th4
proposed facili~' at the subject location will be unstaffed, have no impact on circulation
systems, and generate no noise, odor, smoke, or any other adverse impacts to adjacent land

SUBMITTED
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/Sths Vote: Yes X No )
The City's Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) Program was established on January 12,
1988 by Ordinance 2251. Since its inception, the program has been updated several times to reflect
new land uses approvals, changes to the Circulation Element of the General Plan, and updated
project cost estimates. The last TDIF update was approved on November 16, 1999. Tonight,
Council will consider the approval of the 2002 TDIF update recommending an increase from the
current fee of $6,240 to $8,180 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). The proposed Urgency
Ordinance will enable the City to collect the fee during the 60-day waiting period before the regular
ordinance becomes effective. The public hearing has been duly noticed.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing.
2. Approve the Resolution accepting the report prepared by Willdan.
3. Approve the Ordinance amending Chapter 3.54 of the Municipal Code (first reading).
4. Approve the Urgency Ordinance amending Chapter 3.54 of the Municipal Code
5. Approve of the budget amendment appropriating $826,480 from the Available Fund Balance
in the TDIF Fund to repay a loan from Sewer fund.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Economic Development Commission
has reviewed the proposed increase but offered no recommendation.

DISCUSSION:
2002 TDIF Update
New developments place demands on the existing transportation infrastructure, which can be
mitigated by upgrading existing and/or constructing new transportation facilities. Chula Vista's
TDIF program functions as a system to distribute the cost of constructing infrastructure facilities in
an equitable manner among new development in Eastern Chula Vista. The proceeds from the fee are
used to construct new transportation improvements.
On August 2001, Council retained Willdan for updating the TDIF program. The amount of the TDIF
fee has not been updated since 1999. During this time infrastructure cost and land uses have been
modified. The 2002 update incorporates the following major changes:
· Addition of Telegraph Canyon Road (I-805 to 200' E/O TC Shopping Ctr.), Main Street (I-805
underpass) widening projects, and East H Street (from 1-805 to 400' east of Hidden Vista).
· Removal of East Palomar Street at 1-805 Interchange and La Media Road Bridge Crossing at ' '
Otay Valley projects
· Completion of 13 projects or portions of projects
· A provision to lower commercial, commercial high-rise and industrial Equivalent Dwelling Unit
(EDU) rates
· A shift to residential density based on tentative map dwelling units per acre as the fee basis rather
than the classic "attached", "detached" and "multi-family" land used categories
· Update the project cost estimates to 2002 prices.
· Addition of a provision in the municipal code to permit the City, in its discretion, to provide an
economic enhancement to developments that provide the City with a long term revenues
· Streamlining procedures for authorizing construction
Exhibit 1 shows the Project Funding Requirements of $222,807,379. This amount includes
$184,115,288 for facility construction, $6,684,221 for Program Monitoring (3% of the TDIF
pro,am cost), and $24,756,270 in TDIF credits.
The Program Monitoring will fund City's TDIF administration, and the cost of consultants and City
staffparticipating in related projects/activities (i.e. fee updates, traffic monitoring program, lobbying
the State for more transportation funds). Three percent of the TDIF program cost is $6,684,221. If
spread equally over 20 years, the annual revenue would be $334,000 per year for program
monitoring costs.
The 2002 update recommends a TDIF of $8,180 per EDU. Table 1 below presents the rates for the
different land uses.

Basis and Methodology
The basis and methodology used in calculating the fee in this update is consistent with the basis and
methodology used in the "Interim Eastern Area Development Impact Fee For Streets" adopted in
January 1988 and also the "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees For Streets" adopted in January
1990. One of the primary assumptions in the formulation of the previous fees is that the need for
additional public facilities is generated by new development and the cost of the facilities should be
paid by that new development.
The first step in this update was to determine which road improvements are required to be
constructed in order to maintain an acceptable level of service on the City's circulation system east
ofi-805 which are not included in normal subdivision exactions because those segments lie between
two or more major developments rather than rumfing through one development. The improvements
that are to be constructed will serve the entire benefit area by either providing roads for residents,
employees, or customers to use, or by providing new streets for existing traffic, thus freeing up
capacity on existing streets that can be used by new development.
After reviewing traffic models, development proposals, future connections to SR-125 and 1-805, and
land use patterns, a system of local roads that carry traffic beyond limited development areas (i.e.:
semi-regional in nature) was adopted. Some roads, which carry a lower volume of traffic, were
included because they provided connections to future SR-125 and/or were between future
development bubbles and would be needed by more than one of those areas to access other regional
routes.
The next step was to determine the method upon which the costs for the improvements would be
spread. One of the most common tools used to equate benefit impact fees anaong the different land
uses and densities is the "Equivalent Dwelling Unit" or "EDU". There is a clear relationship
between the use of transportation facilities and the generation of traffic trips based on the land use
and density of a specific parcel. As in previous methodologies, this update is based on the report
"San Diego Traffic Generators", published by SANDAG. This report details the traffic trips
Page 4, Item ~ ~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
generated by various classes of land use. The cost of ail the required improvements has been spread
equally based on the number of "Equivalent Dwelling Units" regardless of the location of any
particular improvement relative to the development.
This update has relied on traffic modeling techniques to determine the percentage of industrial and
commercial trips that originate from within the TDIF benefit area that are already counted as part of
other land uses in the TDIF program. Only those trips which originate outside of the TDIF benefit
area are recommended for determining the fee for the cornmemial and industrial land uses. The
analysis justifies reducing the commercial, commercial high-rise, and industrial rates from 25 to 21
EDU's per acre, from 40 to 34 EDU's per acre, and from 15 to 8 EDU's per acre respectively.
The proposed street improvements, which are required outside of normal subdivision exactions, are
based on an analysis of the cimulation system for various levels of development within the entire
area of benefit, which is discussed below. All of proposed street projects included are consistent
with the General Plan and Specific Plans that have been adopted by the City Council and are
required by the City's Growth Management Ordinance as a condition to all development within the
area of benefit in order to maintain acceptable levels of service on the major roadways. The absence
of contiguity to the proposed street projects is not essential to conferring a benefit to properties. The
area of benefit is based on an analysis of impacts on the total circulation system east of 1-805 for
various stages or increments of cumulative development within the total area of benefit. The
circulation system must be viewed as a whole. Each of the proposed street projects will provide a
benefit to every development because traffic from any one development will utilize the entire system
to access work, commerce, schools, residences and the many other land uses throughout the City. It
is difficult, if not impossible to isolate the value of any single street to any particular development
because of the nature of traffic. A failure in any part of the system will have a negative impact in
other parts of the system and traffic from the development closest to an impacted seg~nent of street
will be just as affected as traffic from a more distant development. The analogy of a water system is
sometimes used where constrictions or breaks in any part of the system will have significant impacts
on the whole system.
Area of Benefit
The TDIF program encompasses most properties within the City's jurisdiction located south of
Bonita Road and east of 1-805 (see Exhibit 2). The proposed area of benefit contains a total of
27,236 EDU's. Table 2 below gives a summary of the development forecast within the Area of
Benefit.

Bella Lago NA 150
Sunbow 1,551 484.2
TOTAL 36,867.7 27,236.5
The net decrease in Total Aggregate EDU's Remaining is due to building permit activity, changes to
EDU credits, the revision to density based residential EDU's, and lowering EDU rates for
commercial, commercial high rise and industrial land uses.
The 2002 TDIF report has been revised to clearly exclude the area bounded by Assessment District
No. 90-2, Otay Valley Road (now Main Street) on the benefit area map. This is consistent with the
1999 and 2002 land use table which never included the EDU's from this area. The area within the
Assessment District is excluded from the TDIF boundary because the property owners paid for the
Otay Valley Road widening and improvement via the assessment district.
Transportation Facilities
There are 45 remaining projects within the proposed TDIF program (See Table D). The cost
estimate for constructing these roads is $184,115,288, including soft costs. Soft costs include 15%
for contingencies, design costs, construction inspection/project management costs, and 2% on each
project for the City's project specific administration/audit.
This update includes most roads in the current Circulation Element of the General Plan in addition to
capacity enhancement projects. These additional projects include.:
· Main Street (I-805 underpass) widening
· Telegraph Canyon Road (I-805 to 200' E/O TC Shopping Ctr.) widening
· East H Street westbound widening (400' east of Hidden Vista)
Two projects, East Palomar St. at 1-805 and La Media bridge crossing, were deleted from the
TDIF program. Current build-out traffic model scenarios indicate that these projects may be
deleted without substantial impacts to traffic circulation.
Page 6, Item i.~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
The TDIF program does not include those streets within the area of the Proposed University Site
(Villages 9 and 10 of the Otay Ranch). It is anticipated that the University, if approved, would
be responsible for constructing suitable transportation facilities. If the University is not
constructed and the area develops according to the approved alternative, future updates will
incorporate said area and related facilities into the program. This report also excludes the traffic
EDU's contained within the proposed University site.
TDIF Credit and Change to Credit Process
There are a number of developers who have constructed TDIF roads in the past and maintain a credit
against future TDIF fees in the estimated total amount of $24,756,270. The credits are summarized
in Exhibit 4.
Partial TDIF credits are provided to developers when building permits (and TDIF fees) are needed
prior to the City acceptance of TDIF facilities. A 50% advance credit is made available to the
developer for the time period a~er Director of Public Works has received sufficient bonds and
approved the cost estimate but has not approved the bids. Once a bid has been approved, the
Developer is provided with a 75% advance credit with the final 25% to be provided after the City has
accepted and audited the facility.
The existing TDIF Ordinance requires the developer to obtain Council authorization to construct a
TDI]: facility. Staff recommends the ordinance be amended to eliminate this step as the
authorization is typically granted through the development entitlement process. Additionally, staff
recommends amending the ordinance to eliminate the requirement to obtain Council authorization
prior to receiving TDIF credit or reimbursement for construction of TDIF roads. Staff recommends
the developer direct the request for TDIF credit or reimbursement to the city manager, thereby
streamlining the credit issuance process. A minor change in the ordinance is recommended whereby
the city manager's designee, not the director of public works, makes the final determination in thd
amount of reimbursement or credit at the 50%, 75% or 100% levels. This change is recommended to
address organizational changes approved for this year.
EDU Rates
Government Code 66000 requires that the City establish a reasonable relationship between the
projects to be funded and the fee. The TD1F program uses the Average Daily Trip (Al)T) which is
converted to the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) as the tool to equate benefit impact fees among the
different land uses. As indicated above, ADT generation rates published by SANDAG are used to
determine the impacts of the different land use categories on the transportation system. Each land
use category is assigned a specific EDU rate. A low density (0-8 dwelling units/gross acre),
residential unit is equal to 10 ADT or 1 EDU. Table 3 presents a comparison between the current
and proposed rates.

Following is a brief discussion on the EDU rate schedule:
· The SANDAG Report ("San Diego Traffic Generators") identifies several categories of
residential land use generating average daily thps (ADT's) ranging fi.om 12 to 4 ADT's. The
City historically has refined the SANDAG approach and has identified four categories based on
the type of residential structure whether attached, detached, multi family or senior housing, which
also related to the density of the residential development according to the SANDAG Report. This
TDIF update eliminates the reference to product type and is based solely on the density of the
residential development as a more accurate reflection of housing development within the Area of
Benefit. The City, therefore, recommends the following: 10 ADT's generated fi.om aresidential
unit with densities ranging on average fi.om 0 to 8 dwelling units per gross acre; 8 ADT's fi.om a
residential unit with densities ranging fi.om greater than 8 to 20 dwelling units per gross acre; 6
ADT's fi.om a residential unit with greater than 20 dwelling units per gross acre; and 4 trips from
a unit in a senior housing complex.
· As part of this TDIF update, a traffic analysis of the industrial trip origin and destination was
performed. This analysis was conducted to determine the percentage of the industrial trips that
originate fi.om within the TDIF benefit area that are already counted as part of other land uses in
the TDIF program. The analysis found that approximately 60 percent of the industrial trips are
generated fi-om within the City of Chula Vista TDIF area and 40 percent are fi.om outside the
TDIF area. Thus, the SANDAG industrial trip rate of 200 ADT could be reduced by up to 60
percent or to 80 trips per acre (8 EDU's per acre). This reduces the industrial trip generation
rate fi.om 150 trips per acre (1999 TDIF Update) to 80 trips per acre.
Page 8, Item [~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
· For commercial development, as in previous updates, the "pass-by" trip phenomenon was
included in setting the generation rate. Pass-by trips (also called undiverted linked trips) are trips
in which a stop at a retail commercial facility is one part of a linked trip to or from home or
work. In addition to the pass-by phenomenon, a traffic analysis for the commemial trip origin
and destination was also performed as part of this TDIF update process. The analysis found that
approximately 70 percent of the commercial trips are generated from within the City of Chula
Vista TDIF area and 30 percent are from outside the TDIF area. Thus, the commercial trip rate
for the purpose of the TDIF program could be reduced by up to 70 percent. Since the analysis
was conducted using a Select Zone Analysis forecast for a representative Traffic Analysis Zone
that had a SANDAG commemial trip rate of 700 trips per acre, the recommended TDIF
commercial trip rate is 30 percent of 700 trips per acre or 210 trips per acre (21 EDU's per acre).
(See attachment for additional information.)
· Based on the results of the traffic analysis for commercial land uses including commercial high
rise, staff recommends a proportionate reduction in the high rise commercial trip generation rate
from 400 trips to 340 trips per acre (34 EDU's per acre).
Meetings with the Development Community
Staff has had numerous meetings with the development community throughout the update process.
Issues raised by the developers were discussed and resolved. As a result of these discussions, several
changes and modifications were incorporated into the program. Generally, the development
community reviewed the fee proposal to ensure that cost estimates were not too high or low and to
ensure that land uses were consistent with current entitlement information. The development
con'ununity did not express to staff any strong opposition to the fee proposal. However, McMillin
recommends that the commercial rate be further reduced to 120 trips per acre (12 EDU's), that the
high rise commercial rate be based on square footage instead of gross acre for buildings 5 stories and
higher, and that the city add an office building category.
Corky McMillin Companies recommended the commemial rate reduction be based on a commercial
vehicle trip generation rate of 400 trips per acre. Applying the 70% reduction would yield 120 trips :
per acre (30% of 400) or 12 EDU's. Staffrecommends the reduction be based on 700 trips per acre,
applying the 70% reduction yields 210 trips per acre or 21 EDU's. In reviewing SANDAG trip
generation rates which range between 90 trips per acre and 2000 trips per acre and for the various
commercial land uses, staff believes the 700 trips per acre, typical for community shopping centers,
to be a more representative figure for the commercial development in the Eastern Territories- Staff
recommends that a comprehensive analysis for the high rise commercial rate and the office category
rate be deferred for a furore update of the TDIF program after adoption of the General Plan update.
The specific uses anticipated for the high rise commercial land uses are not yet known and staff
recommends deferring additional change to this land use category until such time as additional
information is available. Staff further recommends that consideration of a medium or high-rise
office rate be deferred as all of the medium to high-rise office acreage is expected to be located
within the Eastern Urban Center, the land use mix and character of which is being refined at the
present time. Upon refinement of the land use mix and character of the Eastern Urban Center, the
medium or high-r/se office land use character will be known and it would be appropriate for Council
to consider a change to the TDIF program to add such a category.

Meeting Date 8/13/02
La Media Bridge Crossing
The 1999 Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program included funding for 50% of a
bridge crossing over Otay River Valley as part of the La Media Road project at the City's southerly
boundary. To date, neither the County of San Diego nor the City of San Diego have funded the
other 50% of the bridge.
A preliminary traffic analysis was conducted as part of the 2002 TDIF Update to analyze the need
for the bridge. The outcome of the forecast appeared to conclude that traffic volumes in eastern
Chula Vista will actually improve should construction of this segment of the City's circulation
element in the eastern territories be delayed past the year 2020. Furthermore, the usefulness of the
bridge to Chula Vista will diminish in the build out scenario once toll fees on SR125 are elithinated.
As such, it is premature, burdensome, and unwarranted to commit to 50% funding of the bridge by
the TDIF program. The 1999 bridge cost at 50% was approximately $8 million which represents 3%
of the overall TDIF program cost.
In addition, along with changes to the land uses, circulation Plan changes are expected due to the
upcoming General Plan Update and as an outcome of the ongoing City of San Diego and County's
planned land use changes in Otay Mesa. Therefore, it is staff's reconunendation that the City's
participation in the cost of constructing this crossing be revisited with the next update in connection
with other expected General Plan changes. As an example of these possible changes, Main Street
(between Rock Mountain Road and SR 125) is being considered for deletion as a circulation element
in the next General Plan update. It is recommended that the City cooperate with the City and the
County of San Diego in the furore to define the City's participation.
Gross Acreage
Gross acreage as it applies to the commercial, high rise commercial, industrial and medical center
development types, means all land area within the boundary of the parcel or parcels of the
development project for which building permits are being requested.
As a development project moves through the entitlement process fi.om General Development Plan
(GDP) to Sectional Planning Area Plan (SPA) to Tentative and Final Maps, the developable gross
acreage changes and typically decreases. The attrition of acreage for these development types is
addressed by frequent updates of the TDIF program. Each update of the TDIF program includes
information fi.om the latest entitlement documents. The intent of the fi:equent updates is to maintain
a viable TDIF program that reflects dynamic development and minimizes the impact of any acreage
reduction.
Enviroumental Review
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. Although
environmental review is not necessary at this time, environmental review will be required prior to the
approval of final design plans and the awarding of construction contracts for facilities fimded
through Transportation Development Impact Fees. It should also be mentioned that the TDIF
Page 10, Item /.~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
program includes funding for habitat mitigation that may be triggered by the construction of the
facilities.
Proposed Ordinances and Economic Incentive Credit
By amending Chapter 3.54 of the Municipal Code, Council will establish a new TDIF rate of$8,180
per EDU, will modify the number of EDU's for various land uses, will streamline the developer
TDIF process, and will amend the existing TDIF program to include all the properties and
transportation facilities identified in the report. In addition, the amendment would enable the city to
receive an Economic Incentive Credit, similar to the developer's credit, for TDIF eligible projects
that the City funds, aside fi.om current TDIF funding soumes. The Economic Incentive Credit could
be used to offset TDIF costs for projects that the Council deems beneficial to the City. With this
change, the Council has the option to receive an Economic Incentive Credit and use it for specific
projects. The overall TDIF program cost will not be affected by the change. However, the
development community will now have an opportunity to offset the cost of their TDIF obligations
for their projects if Council deems their project beneficial to the City and authorizes use of the
Economic Incentive Credit. Projects previously being funded by the City or funds previously
committed to the TDIF program will not be eligible to be converted to Economic Incentive Credits.
This ordinance will become effective 60 days after the second reading. Assuming that the second
reading and adoption of the TDIF update takes place at the August 20th Council Meeting, the new
fee will be in effect as of October 19, 2002 and collected with building permits issued on or after
October 19, 2002.
The "Urgency Ordinance" would go into effect immediately and will enable the City to collect the
fee during the 60-day waiting period for the regular ordinance to become effective. This ordinance is
only valid for 30 days (fi.om August 13 through September 12), and therefore, it will be necessary to
notice and hold a second and third hearing in order to extend the urgency ordinance in 30 day
increments until the permanent ordinance becomes effective. An approval of 4/5th'S vote will be
needed for all urgency Ordinances.
Staff recommends that the TDIF go into effect immediately by adopting the Urgency Ordinance in
order that all developments pay their fair share of the cost of public transportation improvements
relating to the impacts caused by their development. Immediate implementation of this fee is
necessary due to the current and immediate threat to public safely which will result should there be a
shortfall in the amount of money necessary to pay for the various transportation facilities thereby
resulting in severe congestion and failure 0fthe public transportation network necessary to serve the
increased population. The prospect of a shortfall, failure of the street system and concerns about an
increased charge to remaining property owners constitutes a current immediate threat to the public
health, welfare and safety justifying the inunediate imposition of this fee.
Appropriation of TDIF funds
In 1992, during the Assessment District No. 90-02 proceedings for the Otay Valley Road project
(Main Street), Council approved, by Resolution 16706, a loan fi.om the sewer fund of $420,000 to
the TDIF Fund to offset the cost of the assessments to the property owners in that area. The loan
amount and the interest on the loan have been built into the TDIF program. Staff recommends that
the loan be repaid this fiscal year. The estimated amount for repayment of the loan including interest
is $826,480. A 4/5ths vote is required for the budget amendment.
Page 11, Item /~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
FISCAL IMPACT: The Transportation Development Impact Fee, as for all of the City's
Development Impact Fees, maintains funds separate funds from the general fund. There is no impact
to the general fund from the TDIF update except the latent cost of additional maintenance as the
circulation network increases. These maintenance costs may be offset with additional gas tax funds
resulting from the increased traffic.
Approval of tonight's resolutions includes a budget amendment appropriating $826,480 from the
Available Fund Balance in the TDIF Fund to repay a loan from Sewer Fund.

Re: Transportation Development Impact Fe: Update
Dear Honorable Mayor Horton and City Council Members:
This firm represents Otay Land Company, LLC ("OLC"), a land owner within Otay Ranch. ! am
writing in regard to the City's Transportation Development Impact F~ ("TDIF") 2002 Update,
which you are scheduled to consider on Augusl 6th. OLC urges you to adopt the proposed TDIF
increase at your August 6~h heanng. The fee adjustment is necessary to fund infrastructure vital
to Olay Ranch and delays m the adoption of the Update result in the loss of revenues to fund this
infrastructure. We also would like to thank staff for their hard work on the Update and
willingness to consider OLC's comments and concerns.
We would tike to take this opportunity to bring tN'ce issues to your attention, including (i) the
proposed deletion of $8,000,000 ftu~ding for La Mexlia, (ii) the TDI'F definition of"gross
acreage," and (iii) the absence of funding for Rock Mountain Road and Main Stmet/Otay Valley
Road crossings over SR 125. We re>quest that you address points (i) and (ii) in connection with
this Update. Thc third issue may be dcferrcd until the next TDIF Update.
Fh'st, the proposed TDIF eliminates funding for the La Media bridge crossing of Otay Valley.
Our concern is that La Media is identified in the General Development Plan ("GDP") as a
necessary roadway for Otay Ranch circulation. The proposed elimination of funding effectively
remove this portion of La Media from the GDP. OLC il~ concerned that the effects of such
removal are not known and have not been considered by the City Council and public. For
example, traffic which would have used La Media now will burden other roadways. The
necessary infrastructure to accommodate thc additional traffic and the mechanism to fund these
improvements ate not apparent on the face of thc Update, Thus, OLC requests that the City
Council refrain from eliminating funding for thc La M=dla bridge until furthm- analysis is
eomp[eted.

Second, the staffhas indicated its intention to clarify the definition o£"gmss a~reage" as that
term is used in Section 2.C of the proposed Ordinance. As presently drafted, thc calculation of
gross acreage tbr commercial, high rise commercial, industrial and medical eent~ development
is not clearly defined. An objective definitian is necessary to ensure thai adequate fees are
collected and to avoid gamesmanship in fee calculation.
Finally. OLC h~ been negotiating in good faith with Sa~ Diego Expressway Limited
Partnership, also known as CTV, for the conveyance of right-of-way for SR 125. Recently,
CTV revealed that it will not construct erosgings at Rock Motmtain Road or Otay Valley
Rd./Main Street when it builds SR 125. All other SR 125 crossings or interchanges will be
constructed concurrently with the toll road. The City's contract with CTV does not assure ttmt
crossings will be constracted at Rock Mo',mtain Road or Olay Valley Rd./Main Sheet when
needed. As presently financed by the TDIF, Rock Mountain/Alta Rd. and Olay Valley/Main
Street will dead-end when they meet SR 125, ~nd then pick up again on the other side of SR 125.
The proposed TDIF does not correct this obvious gap in financing. Consequently, SR 125 will
effectively sever OLC's property.
We believe there are two potential solutions to this serious problem. First, CTV can, and should,
construct all interchanges and crossings concurrently with the construction of SR 125. Absent
this commitment, we urge Ihe City Council to consider a future TDIF modification to include
funding for a crossing structure at one of the intersections, preferably Rock Moantain Road. The
Rc~,k Mountain Road crossing, qualifies for inclusion in the TD~ as a critical east-west link
'through Olay Ranch. Stattreeently indicated that it believes Rock Mountain Road as presently
planned will be at a lower elevation than SR 125, such that no crossing structm-e is requked.
However, OLC's engineer, the Keith Companies, indicates that a crossing structure will be
We will continue to work with City staffto accomplish this important change, which will reduce
the possibilily oflraffie problems in the southern portion of the Benefit Area a~fl ensure equality
of access to SR 125 for all segments of the benefit sea.

In summary, we urge the Council to approve the Update with the inclusion of funding for La
Media Road and a cl~fieation of the definition of"gross acreage." Finally, we a~k that in a
fl]ture TI)IF Update the Council provide funding for a Rock Mountain Road/SA 125 crossing.

COUNCIL SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
RELATED TO THE 2002 TDIF UPDATE.
Analysis of Commercial use trip generation rates.
Corky McMillin Companies recommended the commercial rate reduction be based on a commercial
vehicle trip generation rate of 400 trips per acre. Staff recommended that generation rates be based on
700 tnps per acre. In reviewing SANDAG trip generation rates, which range between 90 trips per acre
and 2000 trips per acre for the various commercial land uses, staff believes the 700 trips per acre, typical
for community shopping centers, to be a more representative figure for the commercial development in
the Eastern Territories.
In San Diego region, SANDAG publishes a "Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates". These
rates are used in most of our Traffic Impact studies related to Environmental Impact Reports and other
entitle~nent documents. These trip rates are an estimate based on empirical data of weekday vehicle trip
generation al the "driveway". In addition, these rates are estimated based on both acreage and building
square footage. SANDAG groups commercial and retail ]and use as follows:
Type Description Trip Rate Trip Rate per
per 1000 Sq. Acre
Ft.
Super Regional More than 60 acres, more than 600,000 40 400
Shopping Center sq. ft. with 3 or more major stores
Regional Shopping 30-60 acres, 300,000-600,000 sq. ft.
50 500
Center with 2 or more major stores
Community 10 to 30 acres, 100,000-300,000 sq. ft.
7O 70O
Shopping Center with 1 or more major stores
Neighborhood Less than 10 acres, less than 100,000 120 1200
shopping center sq. ft. with grocery, beauty shop etc.
Various Commercial Varies between 90 trips per acres for
shops Garden Nursery to 2000 trip per acre for 6-850 90-2000
a Supermarket.
Mixed use Commercial supermarket with 110 2000 Comm.
residential 5 / D. Units 200 Resid.
In 1992~ SANDAG used Terra Nova Plaza in their trip generation studies. A summary of the subject the
study along with the trip rates table is hereby attached. Terra Nova Plaza has 31.1 gross acres and
295.185 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The study concluded that on an average weekday, Terra Nova plaza
generates 745 trips per acre.
Another factor which enters into the decision to select 700 trips per acre as the representative basis for all
commercial use in the TDIF is the fact that the higher trip generating commercial uses tend to have a
larger percentage of "passerby trips". That is, trips which are already using that same roadway on the way
to or from other origins or destinations and stop at those commercial uses as they "pass by".
The 700 trip per acre recommended in the 2002 TDIF repor~ is a representation of an "average"
commercial with full recognition that some smaller shopping center may generate much higher trips and
some larger centers will generate lower trips. Since specific commercial land use information are not
available at the CDP and SPA levels to assess specific trip rates, staff recommends the 700 trip rate as an
"average" rate for Eastern Chula Vista

RANCHO BERNARDO TOWNE CENTER
This community shopping center is just a part of a large commercial area in the City
of San Diego's most northerly community, Rancho Bernardo. This may explain why the
traffic generation rate is higher than the other community shopping centers. Stores include
the typical grocery store (Von's), bank, savings and loan, liquor, some restaurants
(Monterrey Jack's), and several retail and service shops.
Almost all of this center is several hundred feet from public streets, so on-street
parking does not affect generation rates. '"':'

SECTION I: Findings
The City Council finds that developers ofland within the Eastern Territory should
be required to mitigate the burden created by development through the construction of
transportation facilities within the boundaries of the development, the construction of
those transportation facilities outside the boundaries of the development which are
needed to provide service to the development in accordance with City standards and the
payment of a development irnpact fee to finance the development's portion of costs of the
transportation network; and,
The City Council finds that the legislative findings and determinations set forth in
Ordinance No.2802 continue to be true and correct; and
The City Council finds, after consideration of the evidence presented to it
including the "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees for Streets" dated July 2002, that
certain amendments to Chapter 3.54 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code are necessary in
order to assure that there are sufficient funds available to finance the transportation
facilities necessary to serve the eastern territories by the development impact fee; and,
-2 -
(? <r7'"
:J~t:..-
The City Council finds, based on the evidence presented at the meeting, the City's
General Plan, and the various reports and information received by the City Council in the
ordinary course of its business, that the imposition of traffic impact fees on all
development in the eastern territories for which building permits have not been issued is
necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare and in order to assure
effective implementation of the City's General Plan; and,
The City Council finds that the amount of the amended fees levied by this
ordinance does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the transportation facilities;
and,
The City Council finds that it is appropriate to refine the fees for industrial and
commercial land uses, including high rise commercial, to reflect the findings of the
analyses of the industrial and commercial trip origination and destination whereby only
estimated trips generated from outside the Transportation Development Impact Fee
boundary shall be used in determining the fee for industrial, commercial and commercial
high-rise land uses; and
The City Council finds it is necessary to ensure the timely payment of the "DIF
program monitoring" cost item, included in Table H "Program Funding Requirements" of
the financial and engineering study, "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees for Streets"
dated July, 2002, to adequately fund ongoing and future administration activities and
studies.
SECTION 2:
That the Development Impact Fee Schedule set forth in Section 3.54.010(C) of the
Municipal Code, and as adjusted armually by the 20 City Construction Cost Index as
published monthly in the Engineering News Record, shall be amended to read as follows:
C. The amount of the fee for each development shall be calculated at the time of building
permit issuance based upon the following schedule:
Development Type Transportation Fee
Residential
(Low density) 0-8 du/gross ac Single family detached dwelling $8,180$5,920/dwelling unit
(Medium density»8-20 du/gross ac Siagle family attached dwelliag$6,54i$4,738/dwelling unit
(High density) >20 du/gross ac Þ,1\iltifam.ily,þ,yelliag $4,908$3,552/dwelling unit
Senior housing $3,272$2,388/dwelling unit
Commercial $171,780$148,000/gross ac
High rise Gcommercial (high rise) $278,120$238,800/gross ac
Industrial $65,440$88,800/gross acre
Golf course $572,600$411, 400/golf course
Medical center $531,700$384,800/gross acre
-3 -
13~22
The density of the development type shall be based ou the number of dwelling units
per gross acre for single-family or multi-family residential and shall be based upon
the deusities ideutified on the approved tentative map or approved tentative parcel
map eutitling the development unless otherwise approved in writing by the city
manager's designee. The gross acreage of the dcyelopment tYl'e for commercial,
high rise commercial, industrial and medical center shall include the gro~s acreage
of all parcels that the city manager's designee deems necessary for the dcyelopment
project. Çross acreal!e as it aDD lies to the commercial, hil!h rise commercial.

October 1st thereafter, based on the one-year change (from July to July) in the 20 City
Construction Cost Index as published monthly in the Engineering News Record. For
reference purposes, the July 2002+999, 20 City Construction Cost Index is 6604.82
607€i.25. Adjustments to the above fees based upon the Construction Cost Index shall be
automatic and shall not require further action of the city council.
The city council shall at least annually review the amount of the fee.
The city council may adjust the amount of the fee as necessary to reflect changes in the
type, size, location or cost of the transportation facilities to be financed by the fee,
changes in land use designations in the city's general plan, and upon other sound
engineering, financing and planning information. Adjustments to the above fees resulting
from the above reviews may be made by resolution amending the master fee schedule.

approved by the city manager's designee director of public works. Should the
construction contract be awarded to a qualified bidder who did not submit the lowest
bid for the transportation facility project portion of the contract, the developer will
only receive transportation development impact fee IDW credit based on the
lowest bid for the transportation facility portion of the contract. Any claims for
additional payment for extra work or charges shall be justified, shall be documented
to the satisfaction of the city manager's designee Eiirector of public works and shall
only be reimbursed at the prices for similar work included in the lowest bid for the
transportation facility portion of the contract.
5.The developer shall provide a EietaileEi cost estimate which itemizes those costs of

specify tOOw those building permits to which the credit is to be applied at the time the
developer submits the building permit applications.
f.:7.lf the developer uses all of the immediate credit before final completion of the
transportation facility project, then the developer may defer payment of development
impact fees for other building permits by providing to the city liquid security such as
cash or an irrevocable letter of credit, but not bonds or set-aside letters, in an amount
equal to the remaining amount of the estimated cost of the transportation facility
project.
gJhWhen all work has been completed to the satisfaction of the city, the developer
shaH submit verification of payments made for the construction of the transportation
facility project to the city. The city manager's designee Eiirector of public works

expenditure determination and the amount of the 75 percent immediate credit used, if
any. The city shall notify the developer of the final deferred fee obligation, and of the
amount of the applicable credit. If the amount of the applicable credit is less than the
deferred fee obligation, then the developer shall have 30 days to pay the deferred fee.
If the deferred fees are not paid within the 30-day period, the city may make a
demand against the liquid security and apply the proceeds to the fee obligation.
i.+G. At the time building permits are issued for the developer's project, the city
will incrementally apply credit which the developer has accrued in lieu of
collecting the required transportation development impact fees. Th@ developer
will receive any credit against required de'¡elopment impact fees incrementally at the

the total transportation development impact fees which will be required for the
developer's project, then the amount in excess of development impact fees will be
paid in cash when funds are available as determined by the city manager,; a
reimbursement agreement will be executed; or the developer may waive
reimbursement and use the excess as credit against future transportation
development impact fee obligations. The city may, in its discretion, enter into an
agreement with the developer to convert excess credit into EDU and/or gross acre
credits for use against future development impact fee obligations at the fee rate in
effect on the date of the agreement.

transportation facilities within the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, the average daily trips for residential development shall be based on
its density, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 66017(a), the fees increased
by that ordinance will not become effective until sixty (60) days after its second reading,
and
WHEREAS, developments in the City which will impact various transportation
facilities will be applying for building permits during the interim period before the
development impact fee increase becomes effective, and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66017(b) authorizes the City to adopt an
interim fee as an urgency measure upon making a finding describing the current and
immediate threat to the public health, welfare, and safety, and
WHEREAS, said interim measure will be effective for thirty (30) days and may
be extended twice for additional thirty (30) day periods upon subsequent action by the

WHEREAS, state law requires said urgency ordinance to be adopted by a four-
fifths vote.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as
follows:
I
13 - 37
SECTION I: Findings
The City Council finds that developers ofland within the Eastern Territory should
be required to mitigate the burden created by development through the construction of
transportation facilities within the boundaries of the development, the construction of
those transportation facilities outside the boundaries of the development which are
needed to provide service to the development in accordance with City standards and the
payment of a development impact fee to finance the development's portion of costs of the
transportation network; and,
The City Council finds that the legislative findings and determinations set forth in
Ordinance NO.2802 and No. 2823 continue to be true and correct; and
The City Council finds, after consideration of the evidence presented to it
including the "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees for Streets" dated July 2002, that
certain amendments to Chapter 3.54 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code are necessary in
order to assure that there are sufficient funds available to finance the transportation
facilities necessary to serve the eastem territories by the development impact fee; and,
The City Council finds, based on the evidence presented at the meeting, the City's
General Plan, and the various reports and information received by the City Council in the
ordinary course of its business, that the imposition of traffic impact fees on all
development in the eastern territories for which building permits have not been issued is
necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare and in order to assure
effective implementation of the City's General Plan; and,
The City Council finds that the amount of the amended fees levied by this
ordinance does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the transportation facilities;
and,
The City Council finds that it is appropriate to refine the fees for industrial and
commercial land uses, including commercial high-rise, to reflect the findings of the
analyses of the industrial and commercial trip origination and destination whereby only
estimated trips generated from outside the Transportation Development Impact Fee
boundary shall be used in determining the fee for industrial, commercial and commercial

The City Council finds it is necessary to ensure the timely payment of the "DlF

SECTION 2: Finding of Urgency
That the City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds that it is necessary that its
development impact fee for transportation facilities go into effect immediately in order
that all properties in the eastern section of the City pay their fair share of the cost of
public transportation improvements relating to the impacts caused by their development.
Immediate implementation of this fee is necessary due to the current and immediate
threat to public safety which will result should there be a shortfall in the amount of
money necessary to pay for the various transportation facilities thereby resulting in severe
congestion and failure of the public transportation network necessary to serve the
increased population. The City Council finds that the prospect of a shortfall, failure of
the street system and concems about an increased charge to remaining property owners
constitutes a current, immediate threat to the public health, welfare and safety justifying
the immediate imposition of this fee.
SECTION 3:
That the Development Impact Fee Schedule set forth in Section 3.54.010(C) of the
Municipal Code, and as adjusted annually by the 20 City Construction Cost Index as
published monthly in the Engineering News Record, shall be amended to read as follows:
C. The amount of the fee for each development shall be calculated at the time of building
permit issuance based upon the following schedule:
Development Type Transportation Fee
Residential
(Low density) 0-8 du/gross ac Siagle family detached d'.velliag $8,180$5,920/dwelling unit
(Medium density»8-20 du/gross ac Singlg family attached dwelliag$6,544$4,73á/dwelling unit
(High density) >20 du/gross ac MHltifamily dwglling $4,908$3,552/dwelling unit
Senior housing $3,272$2,3ág/dwelling unit
Commercial $171,780$14 g,QOO/gross ac
High rise Gcommercial (higH rise) $278,120$239,gOO/gross ac
Industrial $65,440$gg,gOO/gross acre
Golf course $572,600$414,400/golf course
Medical center $531,700$384,gOO/gross acre
The density of the development type shall be based on the number of dwelling units
per gross acre for single-family or multi-family residential and shall be based upon
the densities identified on the approved tentative map or approved tentative parcel
map entitling the development unless otherwise approved in writing by the city
manager's designee. The gross acreage of the development type for commercial,
high rise commercial, industrial and medical center shall include the gross acreage
of all parcels that the city manager's designee deems necessary for the development
project.
3
/?v31
The amount of the fee shall be adjusted, starting on October I, 2003 WOO, and on each
October 1 st thereafter, based on the bne-year change (from July to July) in the 20 City
Construction Cost Index as published monthly in the Engineering News Record. For
reference purposes, the July 2002+999, 20 City Construction Cost Index is 6604.82
6076.25. Adjustments to the above fees based upon the Construction Cost Index shall be
automatic and shall not require further action of the city council.
The city council shall at least annually review the amount of the fee.
The city council may adjust the amount of the fee as necessary to reflect changes in the
type, size, location or cost of the transportation facilities to be financed by the fee,
changes in land use designations in the city's general plan, and upon other sound
engineering, financing and planning information. Adjustments to the above fees resulting
from the above reviews may be made by resolution amending the master fee schedule.

DISCUSSION:
Background
The public hearing is to be held for the purpose of considering the formation of Community
Facilities District No. 2001-2 (McMillin-Otay Ranch-Village Six) and to consider the authorization
to levy special taxes and to incur a bonded indebtedness secured by such special taxes. The
Resolution of Intention to form the district was approved by City Council on July 9, 2002.
Community Facilities Districts (CFD) provide the necessary funding for the acquisition of public
improvements by levying an annual "special tax", which is collected from the property owners in
cor~junction with the property taxes. There is no direct cost to the City. All expenses related to the
district administration (including levying and collecting the special taxes) are funded by the dislzict.
The ultimate security behind the bonds are the properties located within the district, not the City's
General Fund or its ability to tax property within its jurisdiction. The district will be formed in
conformance with the "City of Chula Vista Statement of Goals and Policies Regarding the
Establishment of Community Facilities Districts" (CFD Policy) as adopted on January 13, 1998 and
amended on July 28, 1998.
District Boundaries
Exhibit 1 presents the boundaries of the proposed District that include all parcels located within
Village Six owned by either the McMillin Company or the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego.
At buildout, Village Six will contain a total of approximately 482 Single Family Residences and 212
Multifamily Residences within five Planning Areas. There is one large parcel in Village Six that is
not currently owned by the developer, but by the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego
(approximately 53.0 acres) for a Parish Center Church and a private High School. There are also
several smaller parcels within Village Six that will be exempt due to the future use as part of the SR
125 improvements, school lots, Property Owner Association Property or Community Purpose Facility
Property parcels etc. Total exempt acreage is estimated at approximatelyl2§ acres, which includes
the 53 acres owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego.
The Improvements
The developer is proposing the financing of backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e.,
Page 3, Item ~3'
Meeting Date 8/13/02
grading, sewer, streets, landscaping, and utilities) and public facilities. Following is a general
description of the proposed facilities including~ but not limited to:
· Olympic Parkway
· La Media Road South( E. Palomar Street to Olympic Parkway)
· La Media Onsite-(Olympic Parkway to Santa Venetia)
· Santa Venetia Street
· Magdalena Street Phases 1-3
· La Media Road Offsite (Santa Venetia to Birch Parkway)
· Birch Parkway Onsite (Magdalena to SR-125)
· Birch Parkway Offsite (La Media Road to Magdalena)
· La Media Bridge (between Villages 6 & 2; proportionate share)
· East Olympic Parkway Bridge (between SPA 1 and Village 6; proportionate share)
· Common Usable Open Space located between R-1 and R-3
In addition to the above improvements, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used for the "Traffic
Enhancement Program" within the greater eastern territories of Chula Vista. These transportation
facilities will be traffic capacity adding improvements and could include the following projects:
· Telegraph Canyon Road East of 1-805
· Telegraph Canyon Road / I 805 On Ramp Improvements
· Heritage Road (Olympic Parkway to Main Street)
· East H Street Road Widening
In addition to the above physical improvements, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used for the
purchase of a proportionate share of certain tangible maintenance equipment that has a useful life
of five (5) years or more necessary to provide for maintenance of storm water quality facilities
within the District.
Preliminary estimates show that the maximum tax revenue (using the proposed taxes) from all the
taxable properties would support a total bonded indebtedness of approximately $9.2 million
(assuming a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term on the bonds). A bond sale mnount of $9.2 million
will finance approximately $7.3 million in facilities (i.e. grading, landscaping, street~, utilities,
drainage, sewer, etc). The balance provided would provide for a reserve fund, capitalized interest and
pay district formation and bond issuance costs.
As noted above, it is currently estimated that only $9.2 million will be available for funding by this
district. However, the district will be sized for $I3 million to give the City flexibility in sizing the
bonds and to take advantage of lower interest rates should they occur. A final priority list and cost
estimates for each of the eligible improvements for CFD No. 2001-2 financing will be brought later
to Council in conjunction with the Acquisition/Financing Agreement and other bond documents.
The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to authorize and make the proceeds of any series of bonds
Page 4, Item .':':
Meeting Date 8/13/02
issued for the District available to pay the cost of construction or the purchase price for the
acquisition of Improvements for Interim Transportation Facilities. This could result in the revision
of the facilities priority structure for the utilization of such proceeds.
Ultimately, as subdivision exactions, the developer will finance required improvements that this
CFD district cannot finance. In addition, the proposed CFD lies within the City of Chula Vista's
Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) benefit area that places a cap on the CFD's ability
to finance certain TDlF improvements. Staff and the consultant team are working with the developer
to maximize the TDIF facilities to be constructed by the District
The actual amount to be financed by CFD No. 2001-2 would depend upon a number of factors
including final interest rate on the bonds and the value to lien ratio. The bond sale amount and may
be higher or less than the $9.2 million mentioned above.
Special Tax Report
A copy of the Special Tax Report ("Community Facilities District Report Mello-Roos Community
Facilities Act of 1982 Community Facilities District No. 2001-2 for McMillin -Otay Ranch-Village
Six) prepared by the Special Tax Consultant, McGill Martin Self, Inc., is included as Exhibit 2, and
is on file, and available for public review in the City Clerk's Office. Said report incorporates the
"Rate and Method of Apportionment" (RMA) (previously approved by Council on July 9, 2002),
that establishes the procedures for levying the special taxes in CFD No. 2001-2. The district is
divided into the following three Land Use Class classifications:
Land Use Classes:
1 ) Applies only to Developed Residential Property;
2) Applies only to Developed Non-Residential Property; and
3) Applies only to Undeveloped Property
The proposed Tax Rates are as follows:
· Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi fmnily residences) are taxed on the square
footage of the building. The proposed residential tax rates are as follows:
Residential Developed Parcels Maximum Annual Special Tax
Land Use Class 1 $440.00 per Unit plus $.34 per square foot of
Residential Floor Area
At the time the tax is levied, developed parcels are those parcels for which a building permit
has been issued. This tax rate has been determined by a preliminary "2% maximum tax"
analysis. Said analysis, which is based on estimated house sizes and prices, sets the amount
of the maximum special tax that may be levied by CFD No. 2001-2 on residential parcels. It
Page 5, Item '
Meeting Date 8/13/02
should be noted that a final test will be required at escrow closing using actual house sale
prices. If the 2% limit is exceeded, the developer is required to buy down the lien to an
amount sufficient to meet the 2% criteria
· Non-Residential Developed Parcels are taxed based on the acreage of the parcel. The
proposed non-residential tax rates are as follows:
Commercial Developed Parcels Maximum Annual Special Tax
Land Use Class 2 $11,365 per acre of Non-Residential Property
At the time the tax is levied, developed parcels are those parcels for which a building permit
has been issued.
· The Undeveloped Land category includes all the parcels for which a building permit has not
been issued. The tax on Undeveloped Land is based on the total acreage of the parcel (Refer
to table below). During buildout, the collection from developed properties is not enough to
cover the annual debt service and the undeveloped land taxes will cover the shortfall. The
City Administrator will determine whether an undeveloped land tax is needed to meet the
annual debt service. Even if no development occurs and the whole property remains
undeveloped, the proposed tax will generate enough tax to cover the debt service on the
bonds.
The Undeveloped Property rates are similar to the rates approved for other CFDs formed
within Otay Ranch's Villages. This is based upon the land use mixes, facilities needs,
exempted acreage, and square footage cost. The developer considers these tax rates to be
reasonably supported by the proposed land use categories for McMillin Otay Ranch Village
Six.
Undeveloped Property Maximum Annual Special Tax
Land Class 3 $11,365 per acre of Undeveloped Property
The RMA determines that no special tax shall be levied on up to a net of 53 acres within Assessor
Parcel Number 643-052-05 provided that all or a portion the property is planned for or being
developed for Community Purpose Facility Property and school land uses. It is possible that land use
entitlements (such as Parcel Map, Final Map or any other such division of land) may be approved
prior to January 1 st of any Fiscal Year for all or any portion of such area(s) which would authorize
the development or use of such area(s) for purposes not exempt from the levy of the Special Tax
pursuant to this RMA. Property Owner Association Property will also be exempt from the Special
Tax on the condition that this does not reduce the sum of ali Taxable Property to less than 75.48
acres. Property Owner Association Property, which cannot be classified as exempt property because
such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 75.48 acres, will
Page 6, Item ~ (
Meeting Date 8/13/02
then be classified as Undeveloped Property and subject to the levy of the special tax at a rate of
$11,365 per acre. These categories were created to provide additional assurance to prospective bond
purchasers that the collectible special tax revenue will always cover the annual debt service.
Collection of Taxes
First, the proposed Assigned Special Tax will be levied on the Developed Property. Second, if this
pool of funds is not enough to meet the annual debt service, as may be the case in the early years of
development, the City Administrator will levy a Special Tax on the Undeveloped Property. If
additional monies are needed after the first two steps have been completed, the special tax shall be
increased proportionately on each parcel from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual
Special Tax as determined by the application ora Backup Special Tax. If, after these three steps are
exhausted, there is still a need for additional monies, then the special tax shall be levied
proportionately on each parcel classified as undeveloped pursuant to Section E in the RMA from the
Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax. After buildout, if determined by the
City Administrator that the annual tax need is less than the collectible tax from the Developed
Parcels, the special taxes to be levied in that specific year will be reduced proportionately. Since
residential property in this district is taxed based on the square footage of the home and in the event
that the developer builds less than projected, a Backup Special Tax is calculated for each lot within a
Final Subdivision Map as follows:
Backup Special Tax = $I 1~365 x A L
A = the acreage classified as Residential Property within the Final Subdivision Map
L = the number of lots classified as Residential within the Final Subdivision Map
The proposed "Rate and Method" also includes provisions for the prepayment of the special taxes in
the event the developer or a future property owner decides to do so.
Value to Lien Ratio Policy
The CFD Policy requires any bond issue secured by the levy of special taxes be sized based upon a
minimum 4:1 value-to-lien ratio. A ratio of less than 4:1, but equal to or greater than 3:1, may be
approved, in the sole discretion of Council, when it is determined that a ratio of less than 4:1 is
financially prudent under the circumstances of a particular District. A final appraisal and lien ratio
analysis would be available for Council consideration prior to bond sale, which is planned for late in
2002. If the final analysis shows parcels which fail to meet the 4:1 or 3:1 ratio, the developer would
be required to either:
· Provide cash or letters of credit to maintain the value-to-lien ratio within the CFD
Policy; or,
Page 7, Item
Meeting Date 8/13/02
· The principal amount of the bonds to be issued for District will be reduced to comply
with the CFD Policy; or,
· Provide sufficient information to convince Council that a lesser lien ratio is prudent.
Maximum Tax Policy
Council Policy establishes that the maximum annual CFD special taxes applicable to any newly
developed residential property shall be no more than 1% of the sale price of the house. In addition,
the aggregate of all annual taxes and assessments is limited to 2% of the sale price of the house.
A preliminary calculation of the maximum tax, using estimated house prices, has been completed
and all homes fall within the 2% limit. A final test will be performed at escrow closing using the
actual sale price of the house. Council Policy requires that at or prior to each closing of escrow, the
escrow company shall apply a "calculation formula" previously approved by the City Engineer to
determine the aggregate of regular County taxes, Mello-Roos taxes, and assessment installments. If
the 2% limit were exceeded, the developer would be required to provide cash to buy down the lien to
an amount sufficient to meet the 2% tax ceiling. Compliance with this procedure would ensure that
the aggregate tax to be paid by the purchaser of the house meets the City's criteria, since the 2%
limit is a City policy the limit is not being included in the rate and method of the district. There is
the potential of exceeding the 2% tax ceiling if housing prices fall after the initial sale.
Resolutions
There are two resolutions on today's agenda that, if adopted, will accomplish the following:
RESOLUTION FORMING AND ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO.
2001-2 is the formal action forming and establishing Community Facilities District No. 2001-2

Notice
All property owners within the district have been notified of the public hearing through the mail as
well as a published notice in the San Diego Daily Transcript or any other adjudicated newspaper in
general circulation.
Future Actions
Adoptions of tonight's Resolutions will Form and Establish CFD No. 2001-2, to direct staff to
Page 9, Item ~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
prepare the necessary ballot documents, and to a hold special election on August 20, 2002. On
August 27, 2002 the City Council will hear and certify the election results and assuming the ballot
measures are passed by the requisite vote of the qualified electors, have the first reading of the
Ordinances to levy Special Taxes. The Acquisition/Finance Agreement is also scheduled to be
brought before the City Council on August 27.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no direct fiscal impact to the City. The developer will pay all formation costs and has
deposited money to fund initial consultant costs, and City costs in accordance with the approved
Reimbursement Agreement. The City will receive the benefit of the full cost recovery for stafftime
involved in district formation and administration activities. Staff anticipates that most of the CFD
No. 2001-2 administration will be contracted out. The CFD administration cost is estimated at
$75,000 annually.
In accordance with the CFD Policy, as consideration for the City's agreement to use the City's
bonding capacity to provide the financing mechanism for the construction of the proposed
improvements, the developer will pay one percent (1%) of the total bond authorization. Said
requirement will be memorialized in the Acquisition/Financing Agreement that will be brought to
Council at a later date. Based on a series of bond sales, in a total aggregate amount of $13 million
said monetary compensation would be $130,000. Said amount shall be paid prior to bond sale
(scheduled for late 2002) and will be deposited into the General Fund. The CFD Policy also
stipulates that said compensation is not eligible for financing by CFD No. 2001-2.

III. DESCRIPTION AND ESTIMATED COST OF PROPOSED FACILITIES
A. Description of Proposed Public Improvements
A community facilities district may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or
rehabilitation of any real or tangible property, including public facilities and
infrastructure improvements with an estimated useful life of five (5) years or longer,
which is necessary to meet increased demands placed upon local agencies as a result of
development or rehabilitation occurring within the community facilities district. In
addition, a community facilities district may pay in full all amounts necessary to
eliminate any fixed special assessment liens or to pay, repay, or defease any obligation to
pay or any indebtedness secured by any tax, fee, charge, or assessment levied within the
area of the community facilities district.
The facilities described in this Report are all facilities which the legislative body creating
CFD No. 2001-2 is authorized to own, construct, or finance, and which are required, in
part, to adequately meet the needs of CFD No. 2001-2. In addition, the facilities meet the
criteria for authorized public facilities set forth in the City's Statement of Goals and
Policies regarding the establishment of Community Facilities Districts. The actual
Special Tax Levy will be apportioned as described in the Rate and Method of
Apportioranent (RMA) of the Special Tax for CFD No. 2001-2 (Exhibit B).
Facilities described herein are those currently expected to be required to adequately meet,
in part, the needs of CFD No. 2001-2. Because the actual needs of CFD No. 2001-2
arising as development progresses therein may differ from those currently prioritized,
CFD No. 2001-2 reserves the right to modify the actual priority list of facilities proposed
herein to the extent CFD No. 2001-2 deems necessary, in its sole discretion to meet those
needs.
The Special Taxes required to pay for the construction or financing of said facilities will
Proceeds of the proposed bonded indebtedness of CFD No. 2001-2 will be used to
finance backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e., grading, sewer, streets,
lm~dscaping, utilities, etc.), public facilities and interim transportation facilities.
Following is a general description of the proposed facilities:
Commlmity Facilities District No. 2001-2 Page 2
McMillin Otay Ranch }'lllage SLx July 2002
· Olympic Parkway
· La Media Road South (E. Palomar Street to Olympic Parkway)
· La Media Onsite - (Olympic Parkway to Santa Venetia)
· Santa Venetia Street
· Magdalena Street Phases 1-3
· La Media Road O£fsite (Santa Venetia to Birch Parkway)
· Birch Parkway Onsite (Magdalena to SR-125)
· Birch Parkway Offslte (La Media Road to Magdalena)
· La Media Bridge (between Villages 6 & 2; proportionate share)
· East Olympic Parkway Bridge (between SPA 1 and Village 6; proportionate share)
· Neighborhood Park (Common Usable Open Space) located between R-1 and R-3
In addition to the above improvements, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used for the
"Traffic Enhancement Program" within the greater eastern territories of Chula Vista. These
transportation facilities will be traffic capacity adding improvements and could include the
following projects:
· Telegraph Canyon Road East of 1-805
· Telegraph Canyon Road / I 805 On Ramp Improvements
· Heritage Road (Olympic Parkway to Main Street)
· East H Street Road Widening
In addition to the above physical improvements, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used for
the purchase of a proportionate share of certain tangible maintenance equipment that has a useful
life of five (5) years or more necessary to provide for maintenance of storm water quality
facilities within the District.
B. Estimated Cost of Proposed Public Improvements
The facilities and the estimated costs herein are subject to review and confirmation. The
costs listed in Table 1, are estimates only, based upon current construction and land costs
and actual costs may differ from those estimates herein. Based on the current CFD No.
2001-2 facilities cost estimates is approximately $12.8 million, of which CFD No. 2001-
2 anticipates approximately $7.3 million will be set aside for reimbursement of eligible
costs to be financed with CFD bond proceeds, the balance will be born by the developers.

Total $12,836,245.00
IV. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
A. Project Bond Sale
The bond amount for CFD No. 2001-2 is anticipated to be $9.2 million, which will
finance approximately $7.3 million in facilities. The bonds issued by CFD No. 2001-2
will meet the terms and conditions of special tax bonds set forth in the City's Statement
of Goals and Policies Regarding the Establishment of Community Facilities Districts.
B. Incidental Bond Issuance Expenses to be Included in the Proposed Bonded
Indebtedness
Pursuant to Section 53345.3 of the Act, bonded indebtedness may include ali costs and
estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for
which the proposed debt is to be incurred, including, but not limited to, the costs of legal,
fiscal, and financial consultant fees; bond and other reserve funds; discount fees; interest
on any bonds of the district due and payable prior to the expiration of one year from the
date of completion of the facilities, not to exceed two years; election costs; and all costs
of issuance of the bonds, including, but not limited to, fees for bond counsel, costs of
obtaining credit ratings, bond insurance premiums, fees for letters of credit, and other
credit enhancement costs, and printing costs. The reserve fund is estimated to be the
maximum allowable under Federal Tax Law. All other incidental bond issumace
expenses are estimated at 4 percent of the face amount of the bonds.
C. Incidental Expenses to be Included in the Annual Levv of Special Taxes
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, the proceeds of any special tax may only be used to :
pay, in whole or part, the cost of providing public facilities, services and incidental
expenses. As defined by the Act, incidental expenses include, but are not limited to, the
cost of planning and designing public facilities to be financed, including the cost of
environmental evaluations of those facilities; the costs associated with the creation of the
district, issuance of bonds, determination of the amount of taxes, collection of taxes,
payment of taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized
purposes of the district; any other expenses incidental to the construction, completion,
and inspection of the authorized work; and the retirement of existing bonded
indebtedness. While the actual cost of administering CFD No. 2001-2 may vary, it is
anticipated that the amount of special taxes, which can be collected, will be sufficient to
fund at least $75,000 in annual administrative expenses prior to build-out of the project.
V. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Community Facilities District No. 200]-2 Page 4
McMtllin Otay Ranch Village Six July 2002
/ ¥
All of the property located within CFD No. 2001-2, unless exempted by law, shall be taxed for
the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve CFD No. 2001-2. Pursuant to Section
53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed "is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is
no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property." The Special
Tax "may be based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making facilities
or authorized services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the
legislative body," although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis
pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
As shown in Exhibit B the Rate and Method of Apportionment provides information sufficient to
allow each property owner within CFD No. 2001-2 to estimate the maximum annual Special Tax
be or she will be required to pay. Sections A through C, below, provide additional information
on the Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax for CFD No. 2001-2.
A. Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
When a community facilities district is formed, a Special Tax may be levied on each
parcel of taxable property within the CFD to pay for the construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded
indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by CFD No. 2001-2. This Special Tax
must be apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, the tax may not be apportioned on
an ad valorem basis.
When more than one type of land use is present within a community facilities district,
several criteria may be considered when apportioning the Special Tax. Generally, criteria
based on building square footage, acreage, and land uses are selected, and categories
based on such criteria are established to differentiate between parcels of property. These
categories are a direct result of the developer's projected product mix, and are reflective
of the proposed land use types within that community facilities district. Specific Special
Tax levels are assigned to each land use class, with all parcels within a land use class
assigned the same Special Tax rate.
The Act does not require the Special Taxes to be apportioned to individual parcels based
on benefit received. However, in order to insure fairness and equity, benefit principles
have been incorporated in establishing the Special Tax rates for CFD No. 2001-2.
The major assumption inherent in the Special Taxes rates set forth in the Rate and
Method of Apportionment is that the level of benefit received from the proposed public
improvements is a function of land use. This assumption is borne out through an
examination of commonly accepted statistical measures.
For example, in measuring average weekday vehicle trip-ends, the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's 1995 Trip Generation report identifies land use as the primary
determinant of trip-end magnitude. Commercial land uses typically generate more trip-
ends than do single family residential land use. Similarly, larger single family detached
dwellings typically generate a greater number of trip-ends than do smaller single family
detached homes, and therefore, will tend to receive more benefit from road grading, road
landscaping and road improvements.

Drainage and flood control requirements generally vary with the amount of impervious
ground cover per parcel. It follows that larger homes which have more impervious
ground cover will create relatively more drainage flow than smaller homes.
Special taxes for CFD No. 2001-2 (McMillin Otay Ranch Village Six) shall be levied to
Taxable Property to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement as outlined in the CFD No.
2001-2 RMA.
The Land Use Class Categories of Taxation have been established for CFD No. 200I-2.
The categories are defined as follows:
>- Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi-family residences) are taxed on the
square footage of the building;
> Non-Residential Developed Parcels are taxed based on acreage of the parcel;
¢- Undeveloped Parcels are taxed based on acreage of the parcel; and
Based on the types of public facilities that are proposed for CFD No. 2001-2 and the
factors described above, the Special Taxes assigned to specific land uses are generally
proportionate to the relative benefits received by them. and, accordingly, the Special
Taxes in CFD No. 2001-2 can be considered fair and reasonable.
B. Maximum Annual Special Tax Rates
Exhibit C lists the Maximum Annual Special Tax rates that may be levied against
Developed Property, and Undeveloped Property within CFD No. 2001-2. Exhibit C also
lists the Backup Special Tax.
The City Council will armually determine the actual amount of the Special Tax levy
based on the method described in RMA Exhibit B and subject to the maximum Special
Tax rates contained in Exhibit C. The City will levy a Special Tax to the extent
necessar,v, sufficient to meet the Special Tax Requirement.
C. Backup Special Tax
When a Final Subdivision Map is recorded, the Backup Special Tax for Assessors Parcels
of Developed Property classified as Residential Property or Undeveloped Property will
be determined pursuant to section C. 1.b of Exhibit B.
D. Accuracy of Information
In order to establish the Maximum Annual Special Tax rates and the Backup Special Tax
as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2001-2, McGiI1
Martin Self, Inc. has relied on information including, but not limited to absorption, land-
use types, building square footage, and net taxable acreage which were provided to
McGill Martin Self, Inc. by others. McGill Martin Self, Inc. has not independently
verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of inaccurate data provided
by others, if any, on the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2001-2,
including the inability to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 2001-2.

use entitlements (such as parcel map, final map or any other such division of land)
may be approved prior to January Ist of any Fiscal Year for all or any portion of
such area(s) which would authorize the development or use of such area(s) for
purposes not exempt from the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to this Section E.

2. The CFD Administrator shall also classify the following Assessor Parcel(s) as
exempt property: (i) Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property,
(iii) all Assessor's Parcels defined as Community Purpose Facility Property which
are in addition to the property described in paragraph 1 above, and (iv) Assessor's
Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for
other lhan the purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such
classification shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 75.48
Acres. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the CFD Administrator shall not
classify an Assessor's Parcel described in this paragraph as exempt property if
such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than
75.48 Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as exempt property
because such classification would reduce the Acreage of ali Taxable Property to
less than 75.48 Acres will be classified as Undeveloped Property and shall be
taxed as such. Tax-exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be assigned
by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes
exempt property.
3. The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public agency but
which cannot be classified as exempt property as described in paragraph 2 of
Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.I, prior to the
transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency. Until the Maximum
Annual Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid, the property shall
continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as Undeveloped Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and feels that the amount of the
Special Tax levied on their Assessor's Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD
Administrator regarding such error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator
determines that an error has occurred, the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of
the Special Tax levied on such Assessor's Parcel. If following such consultation and
action, if any by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still
exits, such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the
amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor's Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such
notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall
establish as part of the proceedings and administration of CFD No. 2001-2, a special three-
member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such
procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. The
Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportioarnent and
make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any
landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal
Committee shall be final and binding as to all persons.

G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2001-2 may directly
bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner
if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may
actually foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are delinquent in the
payment of Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond
tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
Council.
H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definition applies to this Section H:
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Bond Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied by an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made 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 intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall provide the
CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of
such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment
amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this figure.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
CiO' of Chula Vista June 24. 2002
Com~nunity Facilities District No. 2001-2 Page 9
McMillin Otay Ranch Village Six t ~t ~/
less Capitalized Interest Crcdit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued to be prepaid,
compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax 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. For Assessor's Parcels of Public
Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that
Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenue excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to
compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
6. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
7. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which have not yet been paid.
8. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount (less the Administrative Fees and Expenses)
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
9. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
CiO' of Chula Vista June 24, 2002
Community Facilities District No. 2001-2 Page 10
McMillinOtayRanchVillageSix /¢-~2
10. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2001-2, including the costs
of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
11. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
12. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal
Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest and~or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
13. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9,
11, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 2001-
2.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be

satisfied by an Assessor's Pamel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parccl may bc fully prepaid and thc obligation of
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made 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 intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall provide the
CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of

calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued to be prepaid,
compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel as though it
was already designated as Developed Propcrty, based upon the building pem~it which
has already been issned for that Assessor's Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Public
Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that
Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Anmml Special Tax revenue excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to
compute the amoant of Ot~tstanding Bonds to be retired cud prepaid (thc "Eom!

applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to bc rcdcc:ned (thc "Rcc[cJ~5~tio/t
5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year

reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount (less the Administrative Fees and Expenses)
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
9. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").

of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
11. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser off (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
12. If any capitalized interest for thc Outstanding Bonds will not have bccn expended at

The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be

only). The City has retained the scrviccs of MuniFinancial as special tax consultant and
Best Best and Kricgcr LLP as.legal counsel to provide assistance during the proceedings.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Open Public Hearing and receive lestimony from the public,
2. Approve the resolution forming and establishing Community Facilities District
No. 07M (Eastlake 111- Woods, Vistas, and Land Swap Parcel), designating
improvement areas therein and authorizing submittal of levy of special taxes
within each such improvement area to the qualified electors thereof,
3. Conduct a Special Tax Election,
4. Approve the resolution declaring the results of a special election in Community
Facilities District No. 07M (Eastlake III- Woods, Vistas, and Land Swap Parcel),
and
5. Approve the ordinance authorizing the levy of special tax within each
improvement area of Community Facilities District No. 07M (Eastlake III-
Woods, Vistas, and Land Swap Parcel).
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENBrATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On January 13, 1998, Council adopted the "City of Chula Vista Statement of Goals and
Policies regarding the establishment of Community Facilities Districts" (the "Goals and
Policies"). The approval of this document ratified the use of CFDs as a public financing
mechanism for (I) the construction and/or acquisition of public infrastructure, and (2) the
financing of authorized public services. Taxes levied by maintenance districts, such as
CFD No. 07M, are currently excluded from the 2% maximum tax criterion set forth in the
Goals and Policies.
On April 28, 1998, Council, acting under its Charter authority, enacted the "Chula Vista
Community Facilities District Ordinance" (the "Ordinance"). The Ordinance adopted the
Mello-Roos Act with modifications to accomplish the following: 1) incorporate all
maintenance activities authorized by the "Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972" ("1972
Act"), 2) include certain maintenance activities not listed in the "Mello-Roos Act" or the
'~1972 Act", and 3) establish an operating reserve fund for open space districts.
CFD 07M will provide the necessary funding for the operation and maintenance of public
landscaping and storm water improvements serving Eastlake III - Woods and Vistas and
Land Swap Parcel (south parcel only) by levying an annual "special tax", which is
Page 3, Item / ~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
collected fi-om the property owners within CFD 07M in conjunction with the property
taxes. There is no direct cost to the City. All expenses related to the district
administration, including levying and collecting the special taxes, are also funded from
such special taxes.
The proposed CFD No. 07M is consistent with the above-mentioned Ordinance and the
Goals and Policies. In addition, staffhas met with the developer to discuss their concerns,
clarify the intent of the Goals and Policies and Ordinance, and review the proposed
special tax rates and the methodology for the apportionment of the special taxes. All of
the issues raised by the developers have been discussed and solutions, satisfactory to all
parties, have been incorporated in the "Rate and Method of Apportionment" (the
"RMA"). The RMA has also been modeled after similar open space maintenance districts
in the surrounding area.
During it's July 9, 2002 meeting, City Council approved Resolution No. 2002-246 which
ordered the preparation of a Community Facilities District Report ("Report"). The Report
includes the following information in greater detail:
Area of Benefit
The proposed boundaries of CFD No. 07M encompass parcels located within the
Eastlake II1 - Woods and Vistas and Land Swap Parcel. The district wilI be divided into
two Improvement Areas based on benefit, one for Woods and Vistas and the other for the
Land Swap area. Eastlake owns approximately 58% of the property within the proposed
distr/ct boundaries. Eastlake III Woods and Vistas would contain approximately 1440
single-family detached homes, 612 multifamily units, 43 acres of commercial property,
and 12.9 acres of Community Purpose Facility ("CPF") uses. The Land Swap is proposed
to include 258 single-family detached residences, 199 multifamily units and 52.7 acres of
commercial property. Staff has reviewed the proposed boundary map and has found it
acceptable and ready for approval by Council. A reduced conformed copy of the recorded
map is attached as Exhibit "1".
Description of the Improvements to be Maintained
The proposed CFD No. 07M will fund the operation and maintenance of the public
landscaping and storm water treatment improvements within the EastIake III - Woods and
Vistas and Land Swap Parcel. A complete list of such improvements is attached as
Exhibit "2".
Cost Estimate
The estimated annual budget for CFD No. 07M is approximately $553,798. This budget
includes a total of $523,798 (includes additional 10% to fund an operating reserve) for
maintenance, $30,000 for CFD administration (preparing reports, lewing and collecting
taxes, public assistance, etc.) by the Engineering Division. Staff and Consultant have
reviewed and recommend approval of the proposed budget. Exhibit "3" contains a
detailed annual budget for the district at buildout.

Meeting Date 8/13/02
Proposed Special Tax
CFD 07M has four proposed categories of taxation, as follows:
· Residential Developed Parcels (Single Family and Multi-Family Residences) are
taxed based on the square footage of the structure.
· Commercial Parcels are taxed on the acreage of the parcel.
· The Final Mapped properties which include all single family residential parcels
for which a building permit has not been issued are taxed on acreage of the parcel.
· Vacant land (Other Taxable property) is taxed on acreage of the parcel.
· The Exempt Category includes all publicly owned parcels, Homeowner's
Association parcels, and CPF property owned by non-profit organizations.
Developed Parcels are those parcels for which a building permit bas been issued. The
proposed maximum special tax rate in the RMA on all Developed Parcels was
determined by dividing the estimated annual budget at buildout (plus an operating reserve
allocation of 10% of the annual budget) by the total estimated square footage of
development at buildout (reduced by 15% to avoid a possible revenue shortfall in the
event that the actual square footage of development does not meet the developer's current
projections).
The proposed maximum special tax rate in the RMA on vacant land has been determined
by dividing the estimated annual budget at buildout (plus a reserve allocation of 10% of
the annual budget) by the estimated net lot acreage within the district.
Due to the preliminary stage of development planning fbr Improvement Area No. 2, it is
anticipated that the budget and rate and method of apportiomment may need to be
modified at a later date. As a condition of approval of the Tentative Map both of these
items will be reviewed and modified prior to approval of the first Final Map.
Collection of Taxes
At the begirming of each fiscal year the City shall determine the amount of the Special
Tax Liability (budget plus reserve) of each Improvement Area. Then, the special taxes
will first be levied on the Residential Developed Parcels. If this pool of funds is not
enough to fund the Special Tax Liability, as may be the case in the early years of
development, the district will levy the special tax on the vacant land starting with Final
Mapped Property. The buffer of having the vacant land covering any portion of the
Special Tax Liability not funded from special taxes levied on Residential Developed
Parcels will disappear once the area has been fully developed. If the Special Tax Liability
for any fiscal year is less than the maximum special tax authorized to be levied on the
Page 5, item ~ ~
Meeting Date 8/13/02
Developed Parcels, the actual rate of thc special taxes to be Ievicd in that specific year
will be reduced accordingly.
Following is a brief discussion of some key issues regarding the "Rate and Method of
Apportionment (RMA) of Special Taxes":
· The maximum special taxes rates shall be adjusted each year for inflation using a
factor equal to the increase, if any, of the annual change of the San Diego
Consumer Price Index.
· The Ordinance requires that the developer maintain the landscape improvements
for the minimum period of one year following their completion. During this
period the District xvill collect the special taxes with the purpose of building up a
six months operating reserve. The RMA provides that the annual budget for any
year may include an amount deemed necessary to maintain an adequate level of
this operating reserve fund.
The maximum special tax rates are based on the best estimate by the developer of
the square footage of residential development within CFD 07M (reduced by
15%). This reduction in estimated total square footage of development has the net
result of raising the maximum special tax that can be levied on future residential
parcels to avoid a possible shortfall in special tax revenue in the event that the
actual square footage of development is less than the projected square footage on
which the computation of the special tax rates has been based. If the actual square
footage of development meets or exceeds the projections on which the special tax
rates were based, the actual special tax rate necessary to be levied annually to
fund the Special Tax Liability may be less than the authorized maximum special
tax.
· The special tax formula provides that any cost due to delinquent special taxes on
vacant land shall be apportioned to the Improvement Area where the delinquent
parcels are located.
· The annual budget used to calculate the special tax rates are only the "best
estimates" of the cost of maintenance at buildout. There is always a risk that
actual expenses in future years may be higher than the total maximum collectable
special taxes. This may result in reduced levels of maintenance of landscaping,
unless the property owners approve an increase in the special tax rates (2/3 voter's
approval is required), which is considered unlikely. Staff believes, however, that
the proposed maximum special tax rates contain enough of a cushion in the
operating reserve, the inflation adjustment, and the assumed reduction of total
square footage of development to minimize the risk of future special tax revenue
shortfalls.

THE PROPOSED MAIN PLAZA AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECT.

REVENUE BONDS BY THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE
COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ~ ~,
REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER ~ ~'~ ~
4/5.,s VOTE: .s NO
Avalon Communities LLC has proposed the development of a mixed-use project consisting of 106
affordable units and 15,000 square feet of retail commercial space. The project, known as "Main
Plaza", will be located on the northeast corner of Main Street and Broadway within the Southwest
Redevelopment Project Area and the Montgomery Specific Plan (Exhibit 1 ).
On June 13, 2000, the Ci'h/ and Agency approved a special use permit, density bonus, and
conditionally approved financial assistance in the form of a loan not to exceed $1,060,000 to
Avalon Communities LLC for the development of a mixed-use project comprised of 106 affordable
multifamily units and 15,000 square feet of retail commercial space (reference Resolution No.
1673). On June 19, 2001, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency conditionally approved
additional financial assistance in an amount not to exceed $750,000 ($300,000 from the City's
HOME funds and $450,000 from the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside fund)
for the projed.
Subsequently, in May 2001, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) awarded
the project o bond allocation of approximately $6.5 million to cover the majority of financing
costs. California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) acted as the issuer of
the multifamily housing revenue bonds. The CSCDA is a joint exercise of powers authority
consisting of numerous California cities, counties and special districts, including the City of Chulo
Vista. CSCDA pursuant to its Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement is
PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: /~
MEETING DATE: 8/13/02
authorized to assist in the financing of facilities for affordable housing, including the facility to be
cor~structed by Avalon Communities.
Since such time, the project was successful in receiving funding under the State Farmworker Grant
Program. However, with the additional requirements of the Farmworker Grant Program,
increases in development costs since the approval of this project and to remain eligible for the
Bond/4% Tax Credit, Main Plaza will require additional bond financing. Therefore, the
Developer has requested the CSCDA issue multifamily housing revenue bonds in an amount not
to exceed $10,000,000, an additional $3.5 million from the bonds allocated by CDLAC.
In order to initiate this financing request, the City of Chula Vista must: (1} conduct a public hearing
(Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibili~ Act or TEFRA hearing) on the proposed financing and; (2)
approve CSCDA's issuance of indebtedness. Therefore, although CSCDA will be the issuer of the
tax-exempt obligation for Avalon Communities the financing cannot proceed without the approval of
the City of Chula Vista. Avalon Communities has submitted an application for State tax exempt
fur~ding from CDLAC, which requires that proof of the TEFRA hearing be submitted by August 16,
2002. The proposed project has already been subject to review under CEQA, and therefore does
not require additional environmental analysis.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council conduct the required public hearing regarding CSCDA'S intent to issue tax
exempt bond obligations for the development of Main Plaza and that the City Council adopt a
resolution approving the issuance, sale and delivery of multifamily revenue bonds by CSCDA to
help finance the development of the Main Plaza Apartments.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On June 7, 2000 The Housing Advisory Commission recommended to the Redevelopment
Agency and City Council approval of the project.
_Th~ Proposed Project
The project will include 106 affordable housing units and 15,000 square feet of retail commercial
space with 180 residential and 73 commercial parking spaces.
The mixed-use building will contain 15,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space, with
residential garages in the back and 2-levels of residential above the garages. There are seven
exclusively residential buildings throughout the site.
/'//
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: ~ ,~
MEETING DATE: 8/13/02
There will be 106 total housing units, consisting of 60 two-bedroom units, 30 three-bedroom units,
and 16 four-bedroom units. The proposed project will also offer a community room, garages, and
social services provided by a local social service agency.
The site is nearly cleared of the former uses of the properly, Twin Palms Mobilehome Park and a
used car sales lot. Full clearance is expected within the next month.
Proposed FinancinR of Project
It is currently estimated that the proposed project cost will be $18,050,000. Sources of funding for
the project will include approximately $9.4 million in bond proceeds (the subject of this TEFRA
hearing), $4.7 million in Iow-income housing tax credits, $2,620,000 in developer equity and
deferred developer fee, and $1,330,000 million from the City/Agency and other public funds.
The bond/tax credit allocation will be used to substantially finance the projed. If successful in
obtaining the necessary financing, construction is expected to begin in Fall 2002 and to be
completed within eighteen months of construdion.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proceeds of the bonds will provide acquisition and construction funds for the developer at a
lower cost than funds borrowed in a conventional bank loan. The Developer has requested that
the CSCDA issue multifamily housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $10,000,000 to provide construction and development financing for the 106 unit
residential development. The bonds would be tax exempt private activity bonds for the purposes
of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, require the approval of the elected body of the
governmental entity having jurisdiction over the area where the projed to be financed is located.
Neither the City nor the Agency would be under any obligation to repay the bond indebtedness
or to incur any costs related to the issuance of the bonds.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM J q
MEETING DATE: August 13, 2002
ITEM TITLE: Resolution approving the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
SUBMITTED BY: Director Building and Park Construction ~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager e r~i* (4/5ths Vote: YES NO X )
Approximately two years ago the Parks and Recreation Department was directed by the Mayor
and City Council, with the support of, the City Manager, the Parks and Recreation Commission,
and the GMOC to produce a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan that would guide
the City in the development of parks and recreation facilities in the community at large over the
next twenty years. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is intended to offer guidance to the
community, staff, and developer when designing new parks and recreation facilities. It is also
envisioned that City staff will conduct public workshops during the programming/design stage of
each neighborhood or community park; these workshops may suggest modifications to the
identified programming in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan for a particular park. The Parks
and Recreation Master Plan that is being presented to the Council tonight has been presesented to
staff, developers, the Parks and Recreation Commission, GMOC, and has undergone a 30-day
public review. Comments gathered from these groups have been incorporated into the
document, which if approved, will guide the development of the Parks system well into the 21st
Century.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Unanimously approved on March 27,
2002, minutes attached as Attachment A.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving the Parks and Recreation :
Master Plan.
DISCUSSION: In February 2000, a core group from Planning & Building, Parks & Recreation,
Administration, Finance assembled to work together to build a comprehensive Parks Master Plan
designed to provide all of the citizens of Chula Vista, with a Citywide Park System.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan represents a comprehensive park planning effort that
recognizes that a park system is more than simply a collection of individual recreational
elements. It represents a comprehensive and interrelated package of Community and
Neighborhood Parks that give residents the opportunity for a complete recreational experience
and a desirable addition to the environment in which to live. Each park must be viewed within
the context of the whole park system to insure that it functions properly in providing a balance of
recreational opportunities.
17-/
Item I-/PAGE 2
MEETING DATE: August 13~ 2002
The methodology employed to create the Parks and Recreation Master Plan included five
distinctive steps: 1) Prepare an inventory of current park sites, recreation facilities, and related
regulatory programs and policies; 2) Prepare a Recreation Needs Assessment; 3) Identify Current
and Future Park and Recreation Needs based on the conclusions and findings identified from The
Needs Assessment; 4) Develop Goals, Policies, and Action Items related to addressing the
Current and Future Park and Recreation Needs; and 5) Develop an inventory of park sites and
recreation facilities within each park site utilizing the directives identified in the Goals, Policies
and Action Items.
In order to establish a proper perspective and a framework for future park planning it was
important to study the history of park planning in the City. The commitment for a quality parks
and recreation system has continuously been pursued in the context of land use planning efforts
since the City was incorporated in 1911. Parks were developed whenever and wherever land
opportunities became available. The first park built in the City of Chula Vista following
incorporation was Eucalyptus Park in 1927. As the City continued to grow additional parklands
were acquired and developed.
In developing the outline for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan specific goals for each
chapter were established:
Chapter One - A description of Current Parks & Recreation Resources · Provide a factual context for the overall Parks and Recreation Master Plan
· The City's park history and development
· The physical infrastructure and characteristics of the City as described in the
current inventory of the City's public parks and recreation resources.
· List of pertinent regulatory guidelines and City mandated requirements related to
parks and recreation development.
· List of general plan definitions of parks and recreation resources.
· List of definitions of other parks and recreation resources not previously
recognized/approved.
Chapter Two - An assessment of the Recreational Service Needs of the Community
· Assessment and evaluation of the recreational service needs of the community in
a comprehensive and comparative manner.
· Description of the relationship of recreation service needs to a spatial analysis
within a comprehensive parks and recreation system.
Chapter Three - Goals, Policies, and Action Items · Creating a cohesive, comprehensive, equitably distributed, accessible parks, and
recreation system that is representative of the City's unique qualities.
· Allocation of resources to the highest level possible
· Clearly expressing the minimum acceptable facilities for citizens of every
community.
· Creating and clarifying guidelines for determining land requirements for the
City's parks and recreation resources.
· Establishing descriptive standards for park types.
!'7-2
Item J~ PAGE3
MEETING DATE: August 13~ 2002
· Development ora recreation services delivery plan.
· Development of an operation and maintenance plan.
Chapter Four - The Physical Representation of the Comprehensive Plan
· Identifying individual components of parks and recreation development within an
overall comprehensive system context.
· Identifying obligations (City's and new subdivision development) to the
comprehensive plan, clarifying the level of service as previously established
through the City's Parkland Dedication Ordinance.
Chapter One:
When establishing the goals it became apparent that in order to develop the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan that the existing regulatory programs not only had to be considered but maintained.
These regulatory programs included: the Chula Vista General Plan, the Quimby Act, the
Parkland Dedication Ordinance (PDO), Growth Management Program (GMP), Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), Greenbelt
Master Plan, Cbula Vista Landscape Manual, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Joint Use
Agreements, and Redevelopment Plan Areas.
In order to refine and re-define existing definitions for the Current Parks and Recreation General
Plan; the City's Parks and Recreation System; and Parks and Recreation Resources Locations
were reviewed for accuracy and updateablity.
Chapter Two:
After identifying all of the goals, disciplines, parameters, regulations, and locations the needs
assessment surveys were compiled and reviewed for programming requirements. The summary
of quantitative and qualitative findings and conclusions for the needs analysis are as follows:
Analysis for year 2000 shows that a majority of the demand for parks and recreation resources is
being met through the utilization of both public parkland and school land. Parks and recreation
resources include park acreage and various types of recreational facilities. Utilizing both
existing public parkland and existing school land, an additional 100-acres have been identified to
meet the parks and recreation resource demand. If existing school lands are not included,
approximately 465 acres of public parkland is required to accommodate existing overall need.
Future increases through the year 2020 in population resulting from new development in the City
will result in demand for new facilities. New development projects containing residential
dwelling units will contribute parkland and facilities to serve the population resulting from new
development.
As a result of the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative needs assessment, it was established
that the demand for active recreational facilities currently exceed available supply. Current
shortages are due to the combined result of population increases resulting from the Montgomery
annexation, new development both east and west of 1-805, and current socio-economic factors
Item i ~? PAGE 4
MEETING DATE: August 13~ 2002
which have increased the City's population base, regulatory limitations on the ability of the City
to exact parkland and improvements, and changing trends in demand for park and recreation
facilities types and quantities. Future increases in City population due to the addition of
residential units in both east and west Chula Vista will result in the demand for additional
facilities through 2020. While a majority of the future demand for facilities can be met within
planned public park sites, there will continue to be a need to rely on quasi-public facilities to
augment recreation facility inventory in order to provide what is needed to accommodate the
projected recreation facility needs.
Chapter Three:
Relying on the needs analysis, definitions, existing conditions, a set of goal, policies, and action
plans were established to meet the identified demands.
The goals and policies serve as a blueprint for creating a quality citywide park system:
· Goal No. 1 - Fulfilling the Comprehensive Park System Needs by creating a
comprehensive parks and recreation system, that utilizes public and quasi-public
resources, that strives to meet the needs of the general public of Chula Vista by
effectively distributing park types and their associated recreation facilities and
programs.
· Goal No. 2 - Priorities for Allocation of Resources by establishing priorities for
allocation of existing and future public parkland resources that balance quality
with the provision of needs. Goal No. 2 also refers to the City's decision not to
grant parkland credit for "common useable open space" in the master plan.
However, in some cases "corrunon useable open space" may qualify for
"Community Purpose Facility" credit pursuant to the Chula Vista Municipal
Code and the SPA plan. Developers may be required, as part of their project, to
provide adequate "common useable open spaces" to enhance the quality of the
neighborhood experience, especially when the master planned communities have
a significant amount of small lot (less than 5,000 square feet) single family
developments.
· Goal No. 3 - Implementation Program that provides for a program of
implementation.
When these goals and policies are translated into actions, the Chula Vista Parks and Recreation
system will meet its intended mission:
"To provide an equitable park system that addresses current and future needs to
the degree possible while maintaining park and open space quality. '
Chapter Four:
Compilation of all of the preceding information in both graphic and tabular form identifies the
distribution of needed recreation facilities; including a complete list of parks, by plarming area,
along with park acreage and primary and support facility requirements.
Item t'7 PAGE 5
MEETING DATE: August 13~ 2002
Looking into the future (2020) with the implementation of the goals and policies, the City will
have over 650 acres of parkland available for recreational use. The parks and recreation system
will provide Citywide resources for recreation services and programs with the goal of meeting
the expressed needs of the community. The parks and recreation system will be composed of
nine community parks, which will serve the City as a whole by providing recreation complexes,
community centers, gymnasiums, an aquatic facility, and skateboard facilities as well as
gathering areas, picnic facilities and restrooms. Closer to home, 46 Neighborhood and Parks will
provide areas for tot lot play equipment, sports facilities, and programmed and non-programmed
activities allowing residents recreational activities within walking distance of their homes.
Neighborhood parks will also provide recreational facilities that complement resources provided
at adjacent community parks. Today's regional parks will be further enhanced and connected to
the community through a system of trails and bicycle ways. A greenbelt open space system will
surround Chula Vista, making a unique setting within San Diego County focused on the
recreational values of the City's populace. Ultimately the City's parks and recreation system is
envisioned as an integrated system of recreation programs and services interwoven through its
parklands and recreation facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL: The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the draR Chula
Vista Parks & Recreation Master Plan and has determined that its adoption is statutorily exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15262, Feasibility and Planning Studies. Please note, however, that all projects
identified in the Master Plan will require future environmental review in accordance with the
provisions of CEQA prior to development.
FISCAL IMPACT: In order to fully implement the master plan, a large unquantified amount of
money will be necessary to fund new parks and recreation facilities. Staff is beginning to hold
discussions with the major developers regarding a new development impact fee program for
recreation facilities and will soon be evaluating the adequacy of the existing Parkland
Acquisition and Development fee level in order to provide a large portion of the financial
resources necessary to fulfill this plan.

c. Approval of Parks & Recreation Master Plan
Director Campbell introduced Rene Olivo, Assistant Director of Building and Park
Construction.
Director Campbell stated that he took excerpts from Chapters {1-4) of the Master Plan,
and stated that he would talk about each chapter briefly. Director Campbell also stated
that he would review the overall goals, methodology and historical context of the
document. As a side note, Director Campbell stated that the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan was ready in November 2001, but chose to withhold it because discussions
regarding RecDIF were taking place. Chapter 5 is not included in today's presentation,
and will be presented at a later date because RecDIF is not complete.
Director Campbell stated that the overall goal of the Master Plan was to:
· Prepare a comprehensive detailed document to assist in the development of parks
and recreation resources in the City;
· Describe the assessment of the community's desires for recreation services;
· Outline processes that are planning driven;
· Create a rational planning guideline that will provide a procedure for addressing
the City's concerns regarding the development of the City's parks and recreation
resources;
· Outline the preferred visions, character, and direction;
· Create parameters and guidelines; and
· Establish a planning framework that becomes a bridge for implementation of
facilities
Director Campbell discussed the Methodology of the Master Plan which includes:
· Prepare an inventory of current park sites, recreation facilities and related
regulatory programs and policies;
· Prepare a Recreation Needs Assessment;
· Identity current and future parks and recreation needs based on the
conclusions and findings;
· Develop goals; policies and action items related to addressing the current
and future park and recreation needs; and
· Develop an inventory of park sites and recreation facilities within each park
site utilizing the directives identified.
Discussion held on Chapters I - 4, and also briefly discussed highlights of each chapter.
Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes - 3/27/02
· Description of Current Parks and Recreation Resources;
· Assessing the Recreational Services Needs of the Community;
· Goals, Policies, and Action Items; and
· The Physical Representation of the comprehensive Plan
Discussion held on the current Parks and Recreation General Plan Definitions that
include:
· Regional Parks - parks that draw from the SD Community
· Community Parks - parks that are 30 acres or larger
· Neighborhood Parks - Walk-to parks in development neighborhoods
· Mini Parks - Small pocket parks
· Special Purpose Parks or Recreation - Areas could be oriented tor camping,
equestrian, nature preserve, etc.
· Commercial Parks and Recreation- Bowling, swimming, school resources, trails, etc.
Director Campbell discussed the Parks and Recreation Resources Locations and stated
thai the City is divided into five physical community plan areas IBayfront, Central Chula
Vista; Montgomery Area; Sweetwater Area: and Eastern Territories Community plan area)
as defined by the City's General Plan approved in 1995, which is in the process of being
updated. Discussion held on each area's major feature with different park and recreation
needs and issues. In addition, survey on Recreation Needs was conducted in 1995 in the
Eastern Territories. Discussion held on the results.
Commissioner Salcido commented on definition of parks and usage (Page 1-9), and asked
if an agreement is in place by the school district with the City, and if a school causes a
breach of contract, will this void and breach ali agreements?
Director Campbell responded that, no they (the schools) are not tied together, by one
agreement, and if one school breaches and MOU/Agreement it would not affect other
MOUs.
Commissioner Perondi responded that each school represents a different segment of the
community with different needs. Example, EastLake High School can have discussions with
the City regarding the use, misuse, overuse of the park next to the high school.
Director Campbell stated that this is a topic that that can be brought forward to the
commission at a later date.
Director Campbell discussed Policy 1.14 which states the Primary Facilities requirements for
future community parks and they include:
· Athletic fields 2/lighting
· Hard Courts with lighting
· Picnic Shelter/Tables
· Play area/equipment
· Restrooms
· Maintenance Building
· Community Center Building with a gymnasium, community pool, senior annex or
teen annex.
· Support facilities with open lawn areas; paved walkways w/ lighting and parking
with lighting
Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes - 3/27/02
Commissioner Salcido inquired that Policy 1.13 defines the criteria the City will use for
selecting land for future community parks, and also requested clarification on community
park sites that provide rough graded useable land area.
Director Campbell responded that a rough grade is not the finish grade. In addition,
when the City accepts land from a developer, and the land is graded, the City requests
that it is done in such a manner that an immense amount of PAD money is not spent on
leveling the field.
Discussion on Policy 1-18 states that primary facilities and support facilities are to be
located in future neighborhood parks. This is to alleviate the transportation of
maintenance equipment so staff may maintain the park and recreation facilities at a
proper level.
Discussion held on Policy 2.8 which is to provide fair and equitable access to sport fields
and other sports facilities, to insure that all Chuia Vista residents have equal access to all
Citywide facilities.
Commissioner Perondi inquired about CIPs that may be considered necessary at certain
parks in terms of facility improvement due to issues of safety, and when additional lighting
is required to alleviate these types of problems. In addition, he asked if the Department
ever received reports from the Police Department on which Parks were experiencing the
most criminal activity, vandalism, etc. Also, he would like to see information on illegal
activity occurring in the parks.
Director Campbell responded that Public Works - Parks Division maintained the parks, and
believed they documented vandalism, etc.
Chair Weidner requested that if certain parks were experiencing safety issues due to illegal
activity, that a CIP Project to install lighting might help alleviate these types of illegal
activities. In addition, she requested that staff bring back a report regarding criminal
activity, vandalism, etc. in the park system. She requested this report a month before CIP
Projects go to Council.
Director Campbell stated that staff would meet and talk with the Police Department
regarding criminal activity in the parks, and a report would be prepared. In addition,
information on CIPs will be brought forward.
Deputy Director Byers explained that Public Works staff informs the Police Department of
illegal activity, vandalism, etc, and have requested in the past to step-up extra patrol for
parks that experience this type of activity.
Chair Weidner commented that the Park near her previous house had posted hours and
she believed that kept down criminal activity in that park:. In addition, she recalls having a
discussion on policies that directed staff to keep lighting off at certain parks to curb
criminal activity.
Commissioner SalcJdo requested a revision to Policy 2.8 be added that indicates that
storage facilities or "cement pad" be established for in-season sports at different park sites,
for community parks.
Chair Weidner stated that this statement is more feasible if it is inserted in Policy 1.14 rather
than Policy 2.8.

Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes - 3/27/02
Commissioner Perondi stated that he would like fo see a standard created for future park
development that would include storage.
Director Campbell stated that he would include the statement "in-season league storage
areas" in Policy 1.14 under Primary Facilities; this would allow the Commission to develop
the language for the policy accordingly for storage areas/facilities.
Commissioner Perondi stated thai he does not support cargo containers in the parks.
Deputy Director Byers stated that in the future, staff is going to have to define "in-season"
and "out of season" leagues.
Director Campbell stated that the Youth Sports Council could define what "season" and
"out of season" is. The Commission would then confer or not confer with their decision.
Discussion held on Policy 2.9 which provides priority to the "in-season" sport groups to
insure the ability to meet the demand for sports fields' games and practices.
Discussion held on Policy 2.11 which proposed improvements to existing public parks, that
includes upgrades and new construction that supplements the existing and future
inventory of recreational facilities available in the City.
Discussion held on Policy 2.12 which states that the City will evaluate opportunities for
special purpose facilities on a case-by-case basis. This City will not grant park credit to
special purpose facilities.
Discussion held on Policy 2.13 which states that in master planned communities that have
a significant amount of small lot single family development (less than 5,000 square feet)
the General Development Plan and SPA Plans should provide adequate "common
useable open spaces" to enhance the quality of the neighborhood experience. In
addition, the City will not apply parkland credit for these "common useable open spaces."
In some cases "common useable open space" may qualify for "Community Purpose
Facility" credit pursuant to the Chula Vista Municipal Code and the SPA Plan. This will be
maintained at the cost of the HCA.
Chair Weidner asked about the arguments Director Campbell anticipated receiving
because of Policy 2.13.
Director Campbell responded that the developers want credit for the land. in addition,
the developers are placing 3,000 sq. ft. homes on 5,000 sq. ft lots, in some cases, and in
other lots, they are placing 2,300 sq. ft. homes on 3,000 sq. ft. lots.
Director Campbell talked about Table 4.4 Neighborhood Park Recreation Facility
Assignment, which are recommendations from staff for proposed neighborhood parks.
These recommendations are supported in Chapter 4 of the document.
Director Campbell talked about anticipated recreation facilities that will be coming on-
line through the year 2020.
Director Campbell talked about Neighborhood Park - Village 6 and stated that it was
approved at the City Council meeting of 3/26/02. Discussion held on the amenities of the
park that include softball field, soccer field, tennis courts with lighting; picnic tables;
resfrooms and maintenance building. This is a proposed 10-acre park.

Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes - 3/27/02
Director Campbell also stated that the Master Plan will need to be reviewed by the
Commission yearly, so that updates are incorporated and addressed accordingly per the
needs of the community.
Commissioner Perondi thanked staff for their work on the Master Plan.
Chair Weidner stated that she did not see a policy in the Master Plan that states that this
document is to be reviewed yearly by the Parks and Recreation Commission. In addition,
she stated that this statement should be memorialized in the document, as well as, in the
Strategic Plan, and not only as cover memo on the document.
Commissioner Perondi stated that it should be included under "Goals of document on
page 1-2 and again reiterated in the summary on Page 1-18."
Director Campbell stated that he would include Chair Weidner's statement that the
Master Plan is reviewed on a yearly basis, and per Commissioner Perondi, include under
Goals of Documents and again reiterated in the summary.
Chair Weidner also stated that she would like to see this statement as a preface.
Chair Weidner and Commissioner Salcido stated that they wauld like to see this document
available to the community for public comment, in addition copies should be sent to the
Youth Sports Council.
Director Campbell stated that changes that were discussed will be incorporated, and
copies of the changes will be mailed to the Commission.

Oral Communications - Council Meeting of August 6, 2002
TO:
VIA:
SUBJECT:
At the Council meeting held on August 6, 2002, Council received oral communication from Mr.
George Thompson, President, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1309. This was
regarding various issues. I have paraphrased and summarized Mr. Thompson's comments
(bold) with staff's response.
1. City not providing a private r09m for Union meetings.
The City has never provided a private room for Union meetings. At the former Public
Works yard Union meeting were held in the PW Crew Assembly room, if available.
Additionally, when the Assembly room was not available Union meeting were held in
a bus. This was done for many years.
At the Public Works Center (PWC) we are following the same procedure allowing
the use of the Assembly room, but only after work hours, reason being that City
employees need to use it for breaks and meals. After work hours the Union can
request use of the Assembly room or they can use a bus as they have in the past.
The City administrative area is restricted to City employees only.
2. New recreation (exercise) room not accessible to Bus Operators and
Mechanics.
The exercise room is for City employees only. The Human Resources Department
established this policy. The bus operators and mechanics are employees of the
Transit Contractor.
3. Glass enclosed bulletin board.
At the former public works yard, there was a glass enclosed bulletin board in the San
Diego Transit (SOT) owned trailer. This bulletin board was either provided by SOT
or the Union. At the PWC there is a non-enclosed bulletin board in the Transit
Contractor's administrative area where the Union has been posting notices.
4. Don Maze stated to (Union) Executive Board Officer Nathan Johnson "that
ATU Union was not recognized on that property"
Mr. Don Maze is American Transit Corporation's (ATC) Operations Manager. Mr.
Maze stated that he doesn't know who Mr. Johnson is and that in reality there is no
Union representation at the present time. No labor agreement exits between ATC
and ATU or any other labor Union.
5. Teamsters were allowed on property. According to RFP, ATCNANCOM was to
acknowledge ATU as the collective bargaining agent.
The City's Request for Proposal (RFP) does not require andlor mentions any
specific collective bargaining agent. The only two places in the RFP where collective
bargaining is mentioned is in the following sections:
Form 6.2 - Wage and Benefit Proposal Form
"Does bidder intend to have a Collective Bargaining Agreement by July 1, 2002?
Section XIII. Notice of Labor Dispute and Labor Relations
"CONTRACTOR shall have exclusive responsibility of conducting its labor relations
including its labor contracts. .."
Contractor (ATC) and I are not aware of the Teamsters being on the property
(PWC), but there is nothing to exclude them from organizing ATC's employees.
was informed that the Teamsters might have been at MTDB's South Bay
Maintenance facility on Main Street. Mr. Thompson could have the properties
confused.
6. ATC is a foreign owned company. Profits not invested in Chula Vista.
I been told that ATC is a foreign (British) owned company, but so are many
multinational corporations doing business in the U.S. and Chula Vista.
7. RFP's current wage is $9.00, by 2007, $10.25
RFP followed Metropolitan Transit Development Board's (MTDB) Responsible Living
Wage Policy that sets the starting wage after probation at $9.00. ATC's proposal
stated a wage of $9.25 per hour after probation. This is $0.25 more than MTDB's
policy. Based on ATC's wage proposal wages will be $10.25 per hour by 2007.
8. ATC not bargaining by State law, not providing meal breaks and rest periods.
ATC is currently in negotiations with ATU this issue could be part of a bargaining
item. Additionally, the City's RFP states that "CONTRACTOR shall comply with all
lawful Federal, State and Local orders, rules..."
The bus operators and mechanics currently do not have any Collective Bargaining
representation. This is an issue for the employees, ATC and the Union to resolve. The bus
operators and mechanics are employees of the Contractor; consequently, City Of Chula Vista
staff takes no active part in any phase of this management/labor issue.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

SUBJECT: Sale of Fire Station No.4 to Southwestern College
In about 1997 the City constructed a street widening project adjacent to Southwestern College
entitled "Otay Lakes Road Dual Left Turn Lanes at E. H. Street." This project was a TDIF
project done in response to previous Traffic Monitoring Plan (TMP) of the Growth Management
Ordinance. The TMP runs taken in previous years for the segment of Otay Lakes Road between
Telegraph Canyon Road and East H Street (north or west bound direction) indicated a strong
need for dual left turn lanes on Otay Lakes Road at East H Street in order to maintain the GMOC
level of service.
In order to complete the widening of that intersection right-of-way was required from
Southwestern College. The City had appraised the right-of-way and worked with the college
administration in completing the acquisition. As part of these negotiations the College indicated
that they had a use for the Fire Station site at the comer of Elmhurst and Otay Lakes Road and
would like to "trade" properties. Since the City had plans to move the location of that fire station
to a site in Rancho Del Rey on Paseo Ranchero and the old location was anticipated to become
surplus, the idea of the trade was approved by staff and an appraisal of the Fire Station site was
obtained.
The appraised value for the intersection property required from the College was $188,000 and
the value of the fire station site was determined to be $150,000. In order to account for the
difference in the appraised values of the properties, Southwestern requested that the City (1)
relocate a driveway, which would include associated parking lot and landscaping modifications,
and (2) provide for the undergrounding of an SDG&E 12KV distribution line and a short
segment of Cox Cable at East "H" Street. The value of the school improvements was determined
to be $38,000. .
On April 22, 1997 the City Council approved the tentative agreement with Southwestern College
and Resolution 18640 authorized the City Manager to execute the final agreement on behalf of
Honorable Mary Salas
Page -2-
August 13, 2002
the City. The documents finalizing the exchange were subsequently completed and the
irnprovernent project was, as you are aware, constructed. The agreernent provided that the City
could lease the Fire Station property at $1 per year until the station was relocated.
As compensation for the value of the Fire Station, $150,000 in TransDIF fees were transferred to
the Public Facilities DIF. Attached for your information is a copy of Resolution 18640 and the
agreement with the College.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
David D. Rowlands, City ~ager

SUBJECT:
Kids Included Together (KIT) Gran
FROM:
Buck Martin, Director of Recreati n
The City of Chula Vista Recreation Department's Therapeutics Section has applied for a
sustaining grant of $6,000 from a non-profit organization in San Diego. Kids Included
Together (KIT). Incidentally, a grant for $5,000 from KIT was awarded to the City last year.
The current grant, if awarded. will provide up to $6,000 for the 2002-2003 school year to
assist the Recreation Department in meeting the legal obligation for inclusion purposes.
In addition, the citizens of Chula Vista enrolled in recreotion programs will also
experience the benefits of inclusive programming.
Currently, a Recreation Supervisor II who is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist
(CTRS) provides assessments of children with disabilities. Recreation staff can provide
and ensure a safe recreation environment for the child with disabilities. and participation
is made possible in any recreation program, regardless of their disability. Inclusion
Programming is a provision that is required by law under the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). Coincidentally. meeting the Inclusion provision continues to have a potential
large impact on Recreation programming and staffing.
In the past. the Therapeutics section assisted children with disabilities who, in the past.
were not included in mainstream swim, camp and tiny tot programs. This required an
individual ossessment of each participant requesting inclusion, the development of an
individual recreation plan for the child, and often, one-on-one attention during the
program by a trained inclusion aid.
This grant requires its recipients to attend trainings on inclusion and submit reports on
participation and how the funds are utilized. KIT invites organizations to apply for up to
four years of grant funding. The Recreation Department will refurn to Council to request
acceptance and appropriation of grant funds if awarded.
