PRESENTATION BY HIGH TECH HIGH STUDENTS ON ENFORCEMENT OF ALCOHOL RULES & REGULATIONS City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 7 City of Chula Vista Staff Report File#:18-0109, Item#: 1. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.56 (PURCHASING SYSTEM) TO ADD JOB ORDER CONTRACTING (JOC) AS A PROCUREMENT METHOD AND ESTABLISH RELATED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, ESTABLISH UNIFORM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPER-PERFORMED PUBLIC WORKS, EXEMPT THE CITY’S PURCHASING SYSTEM FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE, AND PROVIDE FOR AUTOMATIC INDEXED ADJUSTMENTS TO JOC DOLLAR THRESHOLDS (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the ordinance. SUMMARY On November 4, 2014, Chula Vista voters approved modifications to City Charter Sections 1009, 1010, and 1011 (Measure A) that delegated authority to the City Council to make procurement rules for awarding City public works contracts and other types of City contracts, including exceptions to the standard approval and competitive bid process where determined to be in the best overall interest of the City by at least four affirmative votes of the City Council. These proposed amendments to the City’s purchasing ordinance would add and clarify policies and procedures for certain construction projects. The amendments would add Job Order Contracting (JOC) as a permissible project procurement method. JOC is procurement method typically used for minor or recurring tasks, such as maintenance, repairs, and renovations, which involve minimal design requirements. JOC is utilized to maximize efficiencies for and expedite the award of small, repetitive construction contracts. Additionally, the proposed amendments would establish uniform policies and procedures for Developer-Performed Public Works, exempt the City’s purchasing system from the provisions of the California Public Contract Code, and provide for automatic indexed adjustments to dollar thresholds within the ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Project” also qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Environmental Determination The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 8 File#:18-0109, Item#: 1. The Director of Development Services 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 because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has also determined that the “Project” qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable DISCUSSION 2.56.010 (Centralized Purchasing System Established). State law provides that the Public Contract Code is applicable to Charter Cities in the absence of an express exemption or a city charter provision or ordinance that conflicts with the relevant provisions of the Public Contract Code. This proposed amendment would expressly exempt the City’s purchasing system from the requirements of the Public Contract Code and thereby clarify our “local control” over such policies. Staff recommends adopting this ordinance amendment. 2.56.145 (Job Order Contracts). This proposed amendment would add job order contracting (JOC) as a permissible procurement method for certain construction projects. JOC is procurement method designed to expedite the process of awarding small and repetitive construction contracts for minor or recurring tasks, such as repairs, maintenance, or renovations, which involve minimal design requirements. JOC master contracts are competitively bid, fixed price, on-call, as-needed contracts that are based on specific unit pricing contained in unit price books. Unit price books set forth detailed repair and construction items of work, including descriptions, specifications, units of measurement, and individual unit prices for each item of work. JOCs are typically awarded on multi-year basis with a specified maximum amount for the entire contract term. After award of a master JOC contract, a construction project is completed through use of individual task orders. The initial step is the preparation of a task order scope of work for which a contractor develops a fixed price, lump sum cost proposal based on already established competitively bid unit prices. After an accurate and complete cost proposal is received, the City can issue a notice to proceed to complete the task order. The primary advantage of JOC is reduced procurement time. JOC eliminates the time and expense of completing the normal design-bid-construct cycle for each project. JOC speeds up the time that a contractor can begin work by minimizing unnecessary levels of engineering, design, and contract procurement time. This enhances the value, efficiency, and flexibility for delivery of these types of construction projects. Another advantage of JOC is potential cost savings. JOC can provide for costs savings in the procurement, design, construction, and post-construction stages. A typical procurement process City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 9 File#:18-0109, Item#: 1. procurement, design, construction, and post-construction stages. A typical procurement process includes a number of steps for awarding individual construction contracts (preparation of bid documents; advertising/posting bid; pre-bid meetings; preparing responses to bidder questions; preparing addenda; opening bids; determining apparent low bidder; responding to protests; collecting bonds, insurance, and other related documents; and issuing a notice to proceed). For JOC, only the master contract follows this process. Once the JOC contract is awarded, task orders can be issued under the master JOC, and the lengthy bid process is significantly streamlined. A traditional design-bid-build process requires professional design services to prepare bid documents and specifications. Under JOC, these costs are significantly reduced because JOC simply requires a detailed scope of work, which is substantially less than a full set of bid documents. Cost savings are potentially further found in reduced construction costs as JOC bidders typically offer volume discounts because they are bidding on a larger volume contract rather than one small project and contractors do not include contingencies in their bids. Further, JOC is intended to be collaborative in order to reduce change orders and claims. The proposed amendments would establish policies and procedures for JOC procurement, as well as guidelines for the award, use, and evaluation of JOC. The JOC amendments require competitive bidding, advertising with detailed bids and technical specifications, maximum 4-year terms, maximum contract and task order amounts of $2,000,000 (including all change orders), and require staff to review and report on the whether the JOC procurement method has demonstrable benefits for the City. Pursuant to Section 1010 of the City Charter, the Council is authorized to approve the JOC as an exception to the approval and competitive bid process if determined to be in the best overall interest of the City by at least four affirmative votes of the City Council. Staff recommends adopting this ordinance amendment. 2.56.160 (Contracts On Public Works). B. This proposed amendment would correct a current clerical error regarding dollar thresholds for the Purchasing Agent as public works awarding authority from “$100,00” to “$100,000”. H. This proposed amendment would adopt uniform City policies and practices with regard to Developer-Performed Public Works (DPPWs). DPPWs are public works performed by private developers in connection with private projects that are subsequently dedicated to, accepted by, or acquired by the City. DPPWs are common in Chula Vista, and other jurisdictions, in order to allow private developers to perform public works in connection with private projects in order to maximize efficiencies and the value of public and private resources, while also allocating the risk of the performance of such works to private developers. The amendments would establish uniform City-wide policies and procedures for DPPWs to ensure appropriate safe guards are in place to protect the public interest. The amendments would implement policies and procedures regarding permissible procurement and contracting methods, requirements for bid and award, requirements for construction and acceptance by the City, as well as the required procedures for the implementation and waiver of DPPW City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 10 File#:18-0109, Item#: 1. City, as well as the required procedures for the implementation and waiver of DPPW requirements under the code. The amendments require a developer to obtain the City’s authorization prior to proceeding with a DPPW. In accordance with the dollar thresholds for other public works, DPPWs with an estimated maximum contract value of $2,000,000 or less, require approval from the City Manager, or designee. DPPWs with an estimated maximum contract value of more than $2,000,000 require approval by the City Council. The amendments define four categories of change orders that require advance City approval. The categories are as follows: 1. Change orders that require additional payment by the City (regardless of funding mechanism) toward construction costs. This is a common category of change order, with several potential causes. Examples include expanding the size of a facility, using a more expensive product, and unforeseen site conditions. 2. Change orders that result in additional ongoing maintenance or overhead costs to the City. For example, replacing a planned open turf area with a splashpad or other water feature at a park would result in significant additional ongoing maintenance costs to the City. 3. Change orders that result in a material delay in project completion. 4. Change orders that result in a material modification to the design or construction. This category of change order includes shifting budgeted dollars between categories, such as offsetting a cost overrun in roadway construction by reducing planned landscaping. In addition, this category would also include material modifications to the original project scope (regardless of funding and timing concerns). For change order requests that do not fall into any of the above categories, the City’s advance approval will not be required, and the changed order will be managed administratively by the Developer. For those change order requests that do fall into one or more of the above categories, advance approval of the City will be required. The amendments also provide for waiver of provisions of the code, both prior and subsequent to award of a DPPW. Waiver of certain requirements of the code may be advisable or desirable for certain projects. For example, certain dollar thresholds, limitations, and/or City approvals may not be necessary or applicable to a certain project and therefore compliance therewith would not be cost efficient or otherwise serve the public interest. All waivers of provisions of the code will require a finding that such waiver is in the best interest of the public and that appropriate safe guards are in place to protect the public interest. Waivers for projects with an original project award amount of more than $2,000,000, will be required to be approved by resolution of the City Council. Waivers for projects with an original project award amount of $2,000,000 or less may be approved by the City Manager, or designee. Additionally, the amendments provide for the City Council to authorize a waiver of provisions of City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 11 File#:18-0109, Item#: 1. Additionally, the amendments provide for the City Council to authorize a waiver of provisions of the code for a “Special Purpose Project”, which is defined as a Developer-Performed Public Work that is intended to be owned, leased, and/or operated by a party other than the City for a period of no less than ten (10) years after completion. This amendment is intended to allow for waivers for very limited project types, typically large-scale, multiagency, or other unique projects, where the City Council makes specific findings that doing so is in the best interest of the public and appropriate safe guards are in place to protect the public interest. Pursuant to Section 1010 of the City Charter, the Council is authorized to approve exceptions to the approval and competitive bid processes described in the Charter if determined to be in the best overall interest of the City by at least four affirmative votes of the City Council. Staff recommends adopting the above ordinance amendments. 2.56.170 (Automatic Indexed Adjustments). This proposed amendment would apply automatic indexed adjustments to the dollar limits in section 2.56.145 (Job Order Contracts) in the same manner and to the same extent as those adjustments for section 2.56.140 (Cooperative Purchasing) and section 2.56.160 (Public Works). Staff recommends adopting this ordinance amendment. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site- specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The JOC Program supports the City’s Strategic Plan of Operational Excellence by providing fast and timely delivery of projects; lowering overhead cost of construction procurement and delivery; development of a partner relationship based on work performance; reduction of legal fees and reduced program management fees; transparency with itemized unit pricing; elimination of change orders (contractor initiated change orders should not occur in a properly functioning program); and, standard pricing and specification utilizing a published unit price book (UPB), resulting in efficient and effective estimating, design, and fixed-price construction. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The primary advantage of Job Order Costing (JOC) is reduced procurement time which leads to greater efficiencies. JOC can also provide for costs savings in the procurement, design, construction, and post-construction stages.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA CONSIDERING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS15-0005/MPA15-0022 AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PURSUANT TO CEQA; AND APPROVING THE SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELATED REZONINGS FOR THE OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING SUBDIVISION AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WITH AN INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL BUSINESS PARK (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the ordinance. SUMMARY This public hearing and the resolution and ordinance are for consideration and approval of the proposed Otay River Business Park Specific Plan and Tentative Subdivision Map and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (ORBP SP) and Tentative Subdivision Map (TM) were prepared for the development of the 53-acre site previously known as the Nelson Sloan property. Sudberry Development, Inc., owner of the property (Applicant/owner), is proposing to subdivide and redevelop the property with an industrial/commercial business park. A Specific Plan is a tool for the effective planning and development of areas in need of revitalization. State law (Government Code 65450-65457) establishes the process for adopting specific plans and requires that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing on the proposed actions and provide a written recommendation to the City Council. A Tentative Subdivision Map is a tool used to subdivide properties into five or more lots for the purpose of showing the design of a proposed major subdivision and the existing conditions in and around it. The Tentative Map is normally reviewed and approved in anticipation of the property’s development. The ORBP SP and TM have been prepared by the Applicant pursuant to State Law and in compliance with the 2005 General Plan; the documents have been reviewed by City staff and outside agencies and they have been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission; the resolution and ordinance are now being presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. This report provides a description and analysis of the property and the ORBP SP and TM and their purpose and intent. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) IS15-0005/MPA15-0022 and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been prepared. City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 1 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 27 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. Environmental Determination The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed ORBP SP and TM (collectively, the “Project”) for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted Initial Study IS15-0005 in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based upon the results of the Initial Study, the Director of Development Services has determined that the implementation of the Project could result in significant impacts on the environment. However, revisions to the Project made by or agreed to by the Applicant would avoid the impacts or mitigate the impacts to a point where clearly no significant environmental impacts would occur; therefore, the Director of Development Services has caused the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) IS15-0005/MPA15-0022 and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission considered the proposed Tentative Map and Specific Plan at its public hearing of January 24, 2018 and approved a resolution recommending that the City Council consider and approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program pursuant to CEQA and approve the Otay River Business Park Tentative Map and Specific Plan DISCUSSION The most recent update to the City of Chula Vista General Plan occurred in 2005. The primary focus of the 2005 General Plan Update was on the currently developed areas of the City, in particular the western portions of the City. Within the Southwest portion of the City, the General Plan designated five “Areas of Change” that would need to go through a more detailed planning process. One of these areas is the Main Street District. The General Plan envisions the Main Street District as the continuation of limited industrial and commercial uses that provide new employment and recreational uses, that is improved with attractive buildings and street frontages, and that provide for the protection of adjacent residential areas and open spaces in the vicinity. The General Plan mandates the preparation of a Specific Plan that will implement its vision for this area. According to the State of California Office of Planning and Research, a Specific Plan is “a tool for the systematic implementation of the general plan. It effectively establishes a link between implementing policies of the general plan and the individual development proposals in a defined area. A specific plan may be as general as setting forth broad policy concepts, or as detailed as providing direction to every facet of development from the type, location and intensity of uses to the design and capacity of infrastructure; from the resources used to finance public improvements to the design guidelines of a subdivision.” Specific Plans must comply with Sections 65450 - 65457 of the California Government Code. Specific Plans must also be consistent with the policies contained within the General Plan and may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance. This differentiation allows cities to choose whether their specific plans, or portions thereof, will be policy driven (adopted by resolution), or regulatory (adopted by ordinance). The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan is adopted by ordinance. All zoning related portions of this Specific Plan (i.e. land use matrix, permitted uses and development regulations) are prepared to serve as regulatory provisions and supersede other regulations and ordinances of the City for the control of land use and development within the Specific Plan boundaries. Other portions, such as the development design guidelines provide direction for future planning and public improvement efforts. Future development projects, subdivisions, public improvement projects and other implementing programs shall be consistent with the adopted SpecificCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 2 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 28 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. improvement projects and other implementing programs shall be consistent with the adopted Specific Plan. The ORBP SP is established pursuant to the authority granted in the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.07, Specific Plans, and the California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457 and contains all the mandatory elements identified in Government Code Section 65451. The ORBP SP is a descriptive and normative document containing seven sections, including an introduction, planning consideration and existing conditions, General Plan Vision, Goals, Objectives and Policies, land use and development regulations, design guidelines, infrastructure/public facilities, and plan implementation and administration. The most pertinent sections are discussed below. Site Location and Existing Conditions The subject property is located within the City’s Southwest Planning Area along the south side of Main Street at the intersection with Fourth Avenue between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805. The 53- acre property extends south to the Otay River and west to Broadway (Site). The Project location is shown on Attachment 1 - Locator Map. The Site is within the Main Street District, which functions as a commercial-industrial service corridor, with residential neighborhoods located generally north of the corridor, and the Otay River Valley open space to the south. The Site consists of multiple contiguous parcels of land. The majority of the Site has been graded or disturbed, with both paved and unpaved parking, driveways and roads throughout the parcels, various buildings and structures (which do not exist anymore) associated with the existing heavy industrial uses, former concrete batch operations, and former agricultural field activities. Currently, the Site is vacant and surrounded by fully urbanized properties, particularly along its northern boundary. The Otay River Business Park will provide a new development pattern at this Site with business park uses and complementary amenities for the existing community. Otay Valley Regional Park The Site is located within the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) boundaries. The OVRP was established in the early 1990’s between the City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego and County of San Diego. The OVRP area extends over 11 miles along the Otay River from the southeastern edge of the South Bay Wildlife Refuge through the Otay River Valley to the land surrounding the Otay Lakes area, and encompasses approximately 9,000 acres. The OVRP Concept Plan and Design Guidelines are the documents that provide the framework for direction and guidance for parkland acquisition, development efforts, and evaluations of private development that may potentially affect the OVRP. The Concept Plan provides direction and guidelines related to trails and landscape treatment for improvements within public lands as well as private development that is located within the OVRP. The Concept Plan does not preclude development of private lands that are located within its boundaries. The ORBP SP was prepared in the context of the OVRP and considered and incorporated the Concept Plan guidelines for private development. Current Land Use and Zoning The Site area is currently regulated by the land use and development regulations of the LimitedCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 3 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 29 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. The Site area is currently regulated by the land use and development regulations of the Limited Industrial Zone of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and has a General Land Use designation of Limited Industrial with a floating designator for a future Community Park somewhere in the vicinity of this property. The southern-most area of the Site along the Otay River Floodway is designated as Open Space, which is a designation intended for lands to be protected from urban development. The existing Zoning on this site is Limited Industrial with a Precise Plan Overlay (ILP). The Main Street Corridor between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 is currently dominated by a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses with several areas, including part of the Site, used for heavy industry. Otay River Business Park Specific Plan The ORBP SP has been prepared in accordance with State Specific Plan requirements, as well as pursuant to the authority granted in Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.07, Specific Plans. The ORBP SP contains sections as required that address the following: 1. The distribution, location and extent of the use of land within the area covered by the plan (Refer to Chapter 4). 2. The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of infrastructure (transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, and other essential facilities) proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan (Refer to Chapter 6). 3. The standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. (Refer to Chapters 4 and 5). 4. Implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures. (Refer to Chapter 6). 5. A statement of the relationship of the ORBP SP to the General Plan. (Refer to Chapter 3). The ORBP SP details the land use proposal for the Otay River Business Park, and it discusses project character, intensity, circulation, open space, compatibility with surrounding development, and development design guidelines. Specifically, the plan establishes the land use pattern within the Site and establishes a more flexible development pattern by permitting the development of industrial buildings as well as certain commercial uses that are not normally permitted within the Limited Industrial (IL) Zone, particularly along the Main Street frontage (see Land Use Matrix - Attachment 2). For example, the ORBP SP allows the development of medical, professional and commercial offices, as well as a variety of retail uses that are currently not permitted in the IL Zone. The ORBP SP also establishes detailed development standards that regulate future development such as minimum lot size, maximum lot coverage, building height, setbacks, parking standards, access and circulation standards, and others. Chapter 5 of the ORBP SP contains a comprehensive list of design guidelines and standards that address site planning and design elements applicable to the overall Site. Chapter 6 of the ORBP SP provides a comprehensive and detailed description of proposed infrastructure to be built at the time of Project development. Design and development standards have been prepared to assist in creating a business park that provides upgrades and improvements from the prior site uses in a way that complements the surrounding community. The infrastructure planCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 4 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 30 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. the prior site uses in a way that complements the surrounding community. The infrastructure plan establishes the standards and specifications to provide and maintain infrastructure and public services for future growth, without diminishing services to existing development. A portion of the ORBP SP property is identified as a potential location for a future Community Park by the City of Chula Vista General Plan Public Facilities and Services Element and the OVRP Concept Plan. In order to retain the option to construct a future park in the project area, approximately 13.9 acres are set aside in the ORBP SP. As an industrial/commercial project with no residential uses, the Otay River Business Park project has no obligation to provide park facilities and is not subject to the Growth Management Oversight Commission parks and recreation threshold. With no obligation for the project to provide park facilities, the park site would have to be purchased by the City. The final design of the park, including trail connections to the OVRP, will be determined by the City, after the City has agreed to purchase the park area, in collaboration with the community and shall use the most current OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines. Portions of the Specific Plan property are located within the floodway of the Otay River. Generally, grading and development are not permitted within the floodway, except as allowed pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) 19.50.040 and subject to all regulations by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and in accordance with CVMC 19.50 and 14.18,et seq. The ORBP SP designates this area (PA4) as Open Space without permanent structures. Tentative Subdivision Map A TM was prepared and submitted as part of the preparation and processing of the ORBP SP, and in anticipation of the proposed development of the Site. The TM proposes to consolidate and subdivide the 53-acre Site into 12 individual lots for industrial/commercial development and one lot for a future City park, as well as one lot for open space. The TM for the Site provides all of the infrastructure services, establishes developable parcels, public improvements and public facilities that will implement the development of the proposed business park. Additionally, the TM will provide for the grading and development of the Site, as shown on the proposed Tentative Map and Mass Grading Plans PCS16-0007. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5, the Planning Commission and City Council must make the findings listed in the TM resolution substantiating that the TM, as conditioned therein, is in conformance with the elements of the City’s General Plan. The proposed TM has been reviewed for consistency with the City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual and staff has included the necessary conditions that must be satisfied prior to issuance of a Final Map. The conditions are described in detail in the draft City Council resolution attached to this report. ANALYSIS Following is an analysis of the proposed ORBP SP and TM and their consistency with State and City of Chula Vista regulations. The main requirement of a specific plan is that it must be consistent with and implement the General Plan. The ORBP SP’s key objectives are to provide a business park incorporating industrial, professional office, and commercial uses to create economic opportunities in the area, provide land for future park uses and respect the Otay River floodway and Otay River Valley open space that is part of the adjacent OVRP. The ORBP SP establishes the following goals as a way to implement the General Plan vision (see Chapter 3 for a detailed list of goals, objectives and policies): City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 5 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 31 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. 1. Create a business park that respects the character of its surroundings, incorporates a quality design for attractive buildings and street frontages, provides locations for local businesses to operate, and is an asset to the City and region. 2. Promote a quality development consistent with the goals and policies of the Chula Vista General Plan and Design Standards for the Main Street District. 3. Provide for comprehensive planning that assures the orderly development of the site in relation to its surroundings. 4. Establish development and design regulations providing for high quality and visibly attractive landscaping and building architecture. 5. Protect environmentally sensitive areas within the specific plan boundaries, and designate usable area for a future community park adjacent to the OVRP that can link to existing OVRP trails. 6. Develop a plan that is economically feasible and able to be implemented based on anticipated economic conditions such that no economic burden to the City of Chula Vista would occur. The ORBP SP is made up of the following Chapters which contain the provisions that are required by State and City Laws: Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 2 - Planning Considerations Chapter 3 - General Plan Vision, Goals, Objectives, and Policies Chapter 4 - Land Use & Development Regulations Chapter 5 - Design Guidelines Chapter 6 - Infrastructure and Public Facilities Chapter 7 - Plan Implementation and Administration The seven Chapters of the ORBP SP implement the 2005 General Plan, and provide a comprehensive working document that describes guidelines and standards for implementation of the future Otay River Business Park development. The document provides a detailed description of proposed land use, design guidelines, and infrastructure standards, which have been prepared to assist in creating a business park that provides upgrades and improvements to the Site and the surrounding community. The ORBP SP is being adopted by ordinance. All zoning related portions of the ORBP SP (i.e. land use matrix, permitted uses and development regulations) are prepared to serve as regulatory provisions and supersede other regulations and ordinances of the City for the control of land use and development within the Site. Other portions, such as the development design guidelines provide direction for future planning and public improvement efforts. Future development projects, subdivisions, public improvement projects and other implementing programs shall be consistent with the adopted ORBP SP. Land Use and Development Regulations Chapter 4 of the ORBP SP establishes the appropriate use distribution and mix, intensity, physicalCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 6 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 32 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. Chapter 4 of the ORBP SP establishes the appropriate use distribution and mix, intensity, physical form, and functional relationships of land uses within the ORBP SP area. The following areas shown on Exhibit 9 Specific Plan Land Use Map are included as part of the ORBP SP: 1. Planning Area 1 (Limited Commercial/Industrial) - Situated adjacent to Main Street, between Fourth Avenue and 7th Avenue at the north edge of the specific plan area. 2. Planning Area 2 (Transitional-Limited Commercial/Business Park) - Area of property south of the PA-1 (Commercial) and north of Faivre Street between Fourth Avenue and 7th Avenue, and lots adjacent to Broadway to the south of Faivre Street. 3. Planning Area 3 (Business Park) - Remainder of developed lots within the specific plan excluding Planning Areas 1 and 2. These include lots north of Faivre Street and west of 7th Avenue, and lots south of Faivre Street that do not border the frontage with Broadway. 4. Planning Area 4 (Floodway and Habitat Area) - Located along the southern boundary of the specific plan. 5. Planning Area 5 (Future Park Site) - Situated in the eastern portion of the specific plan, from Fourth Avenue south to specific plan boundary. The ORBP SP’s land use and development regulations are intended to encourage and facilitate development of an industrial/commercial business park that will provide for both commercial and light industrial development areas. Planned land uses may consist of a variety of industrial, office, service, retail, and food services that would provide employment opportunities for residents with a range of skills and education. The proposed lots fronting on Main Street and Fourth Avenue are zoned and sized for development of a balanced mix of commercial uses along with industrial businesses, while the lots generally south of the new Faivre Street are intended to accommodate larger businesses and employment centers, providing opportunities for a wider variety of employment opportunities. The construction of new industrial and business park uses, with street and infrastructure improvements, will help to revitalize the Main Street corridor. The Site is within the OVRP boundary. To avoid possible flooding to the developed areas, the grading design shown on the TM included with the ORBP SP would elevate the building pad outside of and above the Otay River floodway, and creates a slope buffer between the building pads and the floodway planted with native species. The ORBP SP also limits uses in Planning Area 4 along the southern boundary of the specific plan to open space uses allowed in the CVMC for floodways. The OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines are referenced within the ORBP SP to guide certain architectural and site plan development within the ORBP SP area, including the future park area The proposed land uses and development regulations identified in the ORBP SP would replace the provisions of CVMC Chapter 19.44. Where the CVMC conflicts with the development standards or other provisions of the ORBP SP, the ORBP SP would apply; where the ORBP SP is silent, the CVMC would apply. The definitions found in CVMC Chapter 19.04 would apply to the ORBP SP, except where specific definitions are provided in the ORBP SP. Design Guidelines City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 7 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 33 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. Chapter 5 of the ORBP SP contains design guidelines for future development within the specific plan area. The ORBP SP design guidelines would apply to both new development and the rehabilitation of older structures, and would encourage an area that is economically stronger, more recognizable, and rich in sense of place and identity. Specific design guidelines are established for Site Design (circulation, site access, parking and loading), architectural design (architectural character, building massing and scale, and exterior materials and finishes), Landscape Design (frontage improvements and entries, Otay River Valley interface, walls and fences, and signage), and Sustainable Design Strategies (Cal Green compliance, water conservation, use of renewable energy, alternative forms of mobility, etc). As future development projects within the Site are submitted to the City for permitting, projects will be subject to the standard design and architectural review process. In addition to the specific design guidelines provided in the ORBP SP, future development within the Site would be subject to the design guidelines identified in the City of Chula Vista Design Manual. Developers, designers, architects and engineers would refer to the ORBP SP’s and the City’s Design Manual Guidelines for general design guidance and preparation of plans. Plans must be consistent with those design guidelines in order to be approved by the City. Infrastructure and Public Facilities Chapter 6 of the ORBP SP describes the infrastructure and public facilities applicable to future development within the Otay River Business Park, including circulation and access, water facilities, sewer facilities, stormwater and drainage facilities, solid waste disposal, law enforcement and emergency services, schools, parks and recreation facilities, electrical facilities, and other public improvements such as streets, sidewalks, and street furnishings. The ORBP SP contains the provisions for the implementation and sequencing of the infrastructure and public facilities, commensurate with the level and sequence of Site development. The ORBP SP also contains the necessary financing strategies and tools for financing the required and necessary infrastructure improvements, including developer and project private financing mechanisms and payment of Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (PFDIF). Chapter 6 of the ORBP SP is intended to function as an equivalent to a Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) for the future development of the Otay River Business Park. A PFFP is not warranted given that the Project does not have complex phasing, is an infill site, and does not create nor require significant off-site improvements whose funding and timing is in question in relation to the Project’s development sequence. Most of the improvements will be on-site to service the development, with off-site requirements being met via the payment of Development Impact Fees (DIFs), etc. Any on- and off-site requirements/timing are addressed via conditions of approval. The infrastructure and service needs, as well as funding are covered in Chapter 6 of the ORBP SP. In its current vacant and underutilized state, the Site does not generate any fiscal benefits to the City or the community. As a commercial/industrial business park, the Project will provide significant new investment in the form of buildings and associated equipment and infrastructure improvements in and around the Site. In addition, the Project will generate jobs, and increase ongoing property tax and sales tax revenues. The ORBP SP is intended to implement the ILP zoning that has been on the site since the late 1980’s. The land use modifications via the ORBP SP are intended to introduce limited retail uses on the Main Street frontage, which will serve to activate the street. The introduction of a limited amount of retail represents a fiscal improvement, in and of itself, not enough to trigger a Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA). Based on this, City staff has determined that the Project will have a positiveCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 8 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 34 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. Impact Analysis (FIA). Based on this, City staff has determined that the Project will have a positive fiscal impact, and a separate Fiscal Impact Analysis is not required. Plan Implementation and Administration Chapter 7 of the ORBP SP describes the implementation and administration strategies of the plan, including guidelines for specific plan administration, previously conforming uses, exemptions, site- specific variances, development exceptions, specific plan amendments, and specific plan review. All developments within the ORBP SP and Site that are not otherwise exempt would require submittal and approval of a Design Review Permit. Development projects would be required to comply with the land use and development regulations and the design guidelines identified in the ORBP SP. Any proposed development projects would also be required to adhere to the existing CVMC regulations and processes for other discretionary review, such as those for conditional use permits, variances, and subdivisions. The ORBP SP provides that future changes should be made to the plan as the changing landscape of the Main Street District may impact the effectiveness of the implementing actions. Thus the ORBP SP authorizes the Development Services Director or his/her designee as responsible for making the determination of whether an amendment to the ORBP SP text or maps is needed based on specific criteria and procedures for said amendments. The Development Services Director shall consider and present the proposed amendment(s) to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration and approval. Consideration of any proposed amendment to the ORBP SP shall require that the following findings be made: 1. Changes have occurred in the community since the approval of the original specific plan which warrants approving the proposed amendment; 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan for the City of Chula Vista; 3. The proposed amendment will result in a benefit to the area within the specific plan; 4. The proposed amendment will not result in significant unmitigated impacts to adjacent properties; and 6. The proposed amendment will enable the delivery of services and public facilities to the population within the specific plan area. Consistency with the General Plan The 2005 General Plan largely focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of the western portion of Chula Vista. Section 8.0 of the Land Use and Transportation Element of the General Plan outlines the vision for the Main Street District and the objectives and policies to implement the vision. The Main Street District is identified as one of five “Areas of Change,” which are areas where more intensive development, revitalization and/or redevelopment is proposed to occur. As indicated at the beginning of this report, the General Plan envisions the Main Street District as the continuation of limited industrial and commercial uses, which provide new employment and recreational opportunities, that is improved with attractive buildings and street frontages, and that provides for the protection of adjacent residential areas and open spaces in the vicinity. The ORBP SP has beenCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 9 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 35 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. protection of adjacent residential areas and open spaces in the vicinity. The ORBP SP has been prepared pursuant to the General Plan as an implementing regulatory document and thus serves as the primary source for policies, guidelines, and regulations that implement the community’s vision for the Site and the Main Street District. The ORBP SP is consistent with the General Plan because it envisions and contains all the necessary elements to implement the development of a high quality industrial business park that will enhance the opportunities for contemporary business uses with ancillary support commercial services, complementary to its surroundings. The ORBP SP establishes the land use, intensity, development regulations, design standards, and primary infrastructure components that will support future development of the Project. The implementation of the ORBP SP will bring new investment, plant and equipment, and infrastructure which will improve and enhance the Site and the Main Street Corridor. It will generate employment and tax revenue for the benefit of the community and the City. The ORBP SP, as proposed, is the tool for the implementation of the General Plan, and thus it is also consistent with State Law. Environmental Review As indicated previously, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed ORBP SP and TM for compliance with CEQA and has conducted Initial Study IS15-0005 in accordance with CEQA. Based upon the results of the Initial Study, the Development Services Director has determined that the implementation of the Project could result in significant impacts on the environment. However, revisions to the Project made by or agreed to by the Applicant would avoid the impacts or mitigate the impacts to a point where clearly no significant impacts would occur; therefore, the Development Services Director has caused the preparation of a MND IS15- 0005/MPA15-0022 and MMRP. The MND contains an environmental analysis of the potential impacts associated with implementing the proposed ORBP SP. The analysis conducted determined that, although the proposed Project could have significant environmental impacts, there would not be any significant impacts in this case because several mitigation measures described in Section F of the MND, were added to the Project. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report was not required. The MND has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The areas identified by the analysis as potentially having significant environmental impacts were the following: Biological Resources; Hazards/Hazardous Materials; Noise; and Transportation/Traffic. The MND provides a summary of the environmental impacts that could result from implementation of the proposed ORBP SP and identifies feasible mitigation measures that could reduce or avoid environmental impacts. These mitigation measures are listed in the MND and in the MMRP. Implementation of these mitigation measures will avoid the impacts or mitigate the impacts to a point where clearly no significant environmental impacts would occur. Implementation of these measures has been included as conditions of approval in the TM Resolution of the City Council. Comments on the Draft MND The public review period for the MND was from November 3, 2017 to December 4, 2017. Letters ofCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 10 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 36 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. The public review period for the MND was from November 3, 2017 to December 4, 2017. Letters of comment were received on the Draft MND from the following agencies and individuals: California State Clearing House and Planning Unit California Department of Transportation California Department of Fish and Wildlife Native American Heritage Commission City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department San Diego County, Parks and Recreation Department The letters and responses are included in the Final MND and a table with the comments and responses is attached to this report as Attachment 3. All comments received concerning the MND have been fully addressed within the Final MND. CONCLUSION The preparation of the proposed ORBP SP represents an effort by the Applicant to implement the vision and objectives of the General Plan for the Site. The ORBP SP is intended to serve as an effective tool for the planning and revitalization of the Main Street District. The purpose of the ORBP SP is the development of a high quality industrial business park that will enhance the opportunities for quality, contemporary business uses with ancillary support commercial services, complementary to its surroundings. The ORBP SP establishes the land use, intensity, development regulations, design standards, and primary infrastructure components that will support future development of the Project. The ORBP SP proposes industrial and commercial lots served by new street connections to the existing street system. The ORBP SP incorporates an area for a future Community Park, as designated by the 2005 General Plan, and is situated adjacent to and above the Otay River Valley. The finished ORBP SP document represents the efforts of the Applicant and the City to improve private property and enhance and benefit adjacent neighborhoods. As proposed, the ORBP SP is consistent with and represents an effective tool for the implementation of the vision and objectives of the General Plan. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the MND and MMRP, approve the TM Resolution and adopt the Ordinance adopting the ORBP SP and related rezoning actions. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council Member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The adoption of the Specific Plan and the implementation of the Tentative Map at the project level support all of the City’s major goals by providing a land use and regulatory document that will serve to promote and facilitateCity of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 11 of 12 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 37 File#:18-0110, Item#: 2. major goals by providing a land use and regulatory document that will serve to promote and facilitate the implementation of a quality industrial/commercial business park. The SP establishes the land use, intensity, development regulations, design standards, and the TM will facilitate the development of the site and will ensure the provision of the primary infrastructure components that will support future development of the Project. Development of the site will bring investment which will create jobs and generate taxes; this will contribute toward the City’s operational excellence and create economic vitality. The SP incorporates an area for a future Community Park, as designated by the 2005 General Plan, and is situated adjacent to and above the Otay River Valley. Development of the future park by the City will provide the community with a needed recreational resource that will contribute to a healthy and connected community. Implementation of the SP and TM will improve the Main Street District as well as the western part of the City. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current year or ongoing fiscal impact resulting from the processing of the actions contemplated in this report. All costs associated with processing the ORBP SP and TM are borne by the Applicant, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Implementation of the proposed Project will generate positive fiscal benefits for the community and the City. Currently the Site is vacant and underutilized and does not generate any fiscal benefits. As a commercial/industrial business park, the Project will provide significant new investment in the form of buildings and associated equipment and infrastructural improvements in and around the Site. The proposed industrial business park and the introduction of a limited amount of retail will generate jobs, and increase property tax and sales tax revenues. Based on this, it has been determined that the Project will generate positive fiscal impacts in both the near and long term. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map 2.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby find and determine as follows: F. Environmental Determination That the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, having independently reviewed and considered the information in the Public Hearing, and all reports, evidence and testimony presented therein, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista, as set forth in the record of its proceedings, hereby considered previously approved Final MND (15-0005) and the accompanying MMRP. BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby find and determine as follows: 1. That the ORBP SP is in conformance with the City’s 2005 General Plan based on the following: The proposed ORBP SP is in conformance with and implements the 2005 General Plan. The ORBP SP is based on the vision and objectives of the General Plan for the Main Street Corridor. The General Plan largely focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of the western portion of Chula Vista. Section 8.0 of the Land Use and Transportation Element of the General Plan outlines the vision for the Main Street Corridor and objectives and policies to implement the vision. The Main Street Corridor is identified as one of five “Areas of Change,” which are areas where more intensive development, revitalization and/or redevelopment is proposed to occur. The General Plan Vision for the Main Street District states that the Main Street District is the focus of limited industrial uses within western Chula Vista, that it has improved over the years with attractive buildings and street frontages, that it provides for the protection of adjacent residential areas and previously disturbed development areas south of Main Street to the edge of the Otay River Valley open space, and that it allows for the restoration and protection of habitat for sensitive biological species, and provides new employment, and recreational uses. The ORBP SP has been prepared pursuant to the General Plan as an implementing regulatory document and thus serves as the primary 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 42 source for policies, guidelines, and regulations that implement the community’s vision for the Otay River Business Park. Based on the above the City Council does hereby find that the proposed ORBP SP is consistent with the 2005 General Plan and that the public necessity conveniences general welfare and good planning and zoning practice support its approval and implementation. 2. That the ORBP SP has been prepared in accordance with the CVMC and the California Government Code provision governing specific plans based on the following findings of fact. Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 19.07 (Specific Plans) and the California Government Code Title 7 Division 1 Chapter 3 Article 8 Sections 65450 through 65457 establish the statutory authority for specific plans. As provided in CVMC Chapter 19.07, specific plans may be implemented through the adoption of standard zoning ordinances and the planned community zone as provided in this title or by plan effectuation standards incorporated within the text of an individual specific plan. The method of implementing an individual specific plan shall be established and expressed by its adopting resolution or ordinance. The ORBP SP is being adopted by this Ordinance. All zoning related portions of the ORBP SP (i.e. land use matrix, permitted uses and development regulations) are prepared to serve as regulatory provisions and supersede other regulations and ordinances of the City for the control of land use and development within the ORBP SP boundaries. Other portions, such as the development design guidelines provide direction for future planning and public improvement efforts. Future development projects, subdivisions, public improvement projects and other implementing programs shall be consistent with the adopted ORBP SP. The ORBP SP has been prepared as an implementing document for future land uses, public improvements and programs as provided for in the 2005 General Plan. The new zoning regulations proposed in the ORBP SP (see Exhibit “B” of this Ordinance) would replace existing CVMC zoning classifications for the Site and introduce a variety of commercial uses which would be permitted along Main Street consistent with the 2005 General Plan. The City Council does hereby find that the ORBP SP has been prepared pursuant to the authority granted in CVMC Chapter 19.07 Specific Plans and the California Government Code Title 7 Division 1 Chapter 3 Article 8 Sections 65450 through 65457 and contains all the mandatory elements identified in Government Code Section 65451. 3. That the associated demands on public facilities and services due to development allowed by the ORBP SP are identified prior to development and will be mitigated prior to or concurrent with the development and in conformance with the City s Growth Management Ordinance CVMC 19.09, as applicable. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 43 4. That a financing program has been prepared which identifies the methods for funding for those facilities and services and insures that the funds are spent on said facilities pursuant to the phasing schedule based on the following findings of fact: The General Plan was updated in December 2005 and created a new vision for the City. A large part of that vision focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of western Chula Vista. New growth is planned around smart growth principles such as industrial/commercial business parks that concentrate infill and redevelopment to select focus areas and corridors to protect stable single family neighborhoods, better utilize land resources, reduce environmental impacts and make more efficient use of existing infrastructure. The General Plan calls for the preparation and adoption of specific plans to carry out the vision of the General Plan in an organized and orderly fashion. The ORBP SP implements the policies and objectives of the General Plan to direct a portion of the industrial growth expected to occur in the City over the next few years to the Main Street Corridor by providing zone changes, development regulations and design guidelines to accommodate future growth. The ORBP SP includes an assessment of the proposed distribution location and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities that would be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. In addition, the ORBP SP and the TM for the Site includes a program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out the plan. Specifically, Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the ORBP SP and the MND, including the MMRP, provide the plan and mechanisms to ensure public facilities and services occur commensurate with subsequent development. As described in the ORBP SP, TM and MND, subsequent new development would be required to provide adequate public services and facilities commensurate with their impact The City Council having reviewed and considered the information in the Public Hearing Draft ORBP SP, TM PCS16-0007, MND IS15-0005/MPA15-0022 and associated MMRP, and all reports evidence and testimony presented at the Public Hearing hereby finds and determines that ORBP SP Chapters 4, 5, and 6, TM PCS15-0007, MND IS15- 0005/MPA15-0022, including the MMRP, provide the plan and mechanisms to ensure public facilities and services occur commensurate with subsequent development and is in conformance with the City’s Growth Management Ordinance (CVMC 19.09). BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby order as follows: The City Council does hereby approve the ORBP SP and amend the City of Chula Vista Zoning Map established by Section 19.18.010 of the CVMC to rezone properties within the ORBP SP as depicted in Exhibit “B.” (Areas outside of the boundaries of Exhibit “B” would not be rezoned as part of this action.) II. Severability 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 44 The City Council declares that should any provision section paragraph sentence or word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation the remaining provisions sections paragraphs sentences or words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. III. Effective Date This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force on the thirtieth day from and after its second reading.

A copy of each comment letter along with corresponding staff responses has been included. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15204(b), review of a [mitigated] negative declaration should focus on the proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. According to Section 15204(b), if persons and public agencies believe that the project may have a significant effect, they should: (1) Identify the specific effect, (2) Explain why they believe the effect would occur, and (3) Explain why they believe the effect would be significant. Many of the comments received during public review of the Otay River Business Park Mitigated Negative Declaration did not address the adequacy and/or sufficiency of the environmental document; however, staff endeavored to provide responses as appropriate as a courtesy to the commenters. Where letters of comment have resulted in revisions to the October 2017 MND, those changes are indicated in the Final MND in strike-out/underline format (where omitted text is shown as stricken and added text is shown as underlined). Revisions that have been made to the Final MND do not affect the conclusions contained in the MND or the adequacy of the environmental document.

This comment also generally summarizes the proposed project and biological resources located on the project site, as presented in the MND and Initial Study prepared for the project. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 57 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 6 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE B-2 B-3 B-4 B-2 The Biological Resources Section Issue C of the Initial Study Checklist has been revised to include Jurisdictional and City Wetland impacts and mitigation mentioned in Issue B. This revision is now consistent with the project description, impact analysis, and mitigation described in the MND. B-3 The proposed project development site does not include any changes, modifications or construction of the trail system. The future park is anticipated to add trail connections to the existing off-site trail system within the OVRP, but the future park trail access points have not yet been located. Per the Specific Plan associated with this project, configuration of such trails should follow the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines, and could include such measures like fencing, if it is deemed necessary when the park is designed. However, project does not propose any new trails. Therefore, no edge effects beyond those evaluated in the MND and Initial study would occur. B-4 Comment noted. CDFW is included on the list of agencies to receive environmental documents prepared by the City of Chula Vista. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 58 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 7 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE C-1 C-2 C-3 C-1 A separate section for Tribal Cultural Resources was added to the Initial Study Checklist pursuant to the Final Text for tribal cultural resources updated Appendix G: Environmental Checklist Form. This new section addresses these question, as well as consultation and outreach by the City of Chula Vista, and summarize information presented in Section VI of the Initial Study that no archeological resources have been identified within the project area. C-2 As stated in the CEQA Initial Study and based on records search and the pedestrian survey, no archeological resources have been identified within the project area. The project site is not designated or listed, either individually or as part of a district, on a local, state, or national historical sites register. The approximately four-acre agricultural fields in the northern half of the project area, identified as 1720 Fourth Avenue, were previously evaluated for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility as a cultural landscape and recommended not eligible for the CRHR and not a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. No historical resources would be impacted in that portion of the project area. However, if human remains and/or artifacts are found during project grading, the City and applicant will follow all State requirements relative to tribal cultural resources. C-3 Comment noted. See also response C-2. The project would not cause a substantial adverse effect to tribal cultural resources, as there are no recorded sites listed or sites eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resource, or in a local register of historical resources as defined by Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k). The City of Chula Vista sent out a tribal consultation notice on February 16, 2016 and did not receive a response. No impact would result. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 59 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 8 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE C-3 (cont) 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 60 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 9 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE C-4 C-4 Comment noted. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 61 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 10 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE C-4 (cont) 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 62 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 11 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE C-4 (cont) 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 63 LETTERS OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES Otay River Business Park Specific Plan Responses to Letters of Comment – Page 12 Mitigated Negative Declaration December 2017 COMMENT RESPONSE D-1 D-2 D-3 D-1 Comment noted.

The MND has been revised to accurately reference Otay Valley Regional Park in all instances. E-2 The Initial Study and MND have been revised to reflect that the entire project site is located within the OVRP. E-3 Comment noted. Comments from the County and City of San Diego have been received and addressed in this Response to Comments. E-4 The description for Area 5 has been revised to include the addition of an access road and pedestrian bridge. E-5 The MND and Initial Study evaluated a preliminary concept for the community park available at the time the environmental document was prepared. Once a final concept is developed for the park, City staff will evaluate that concept and determine if the MND/Initial Study adequately reviewed the potential environmental impacts or if there is the need for additional environmental review. Because park concepts are still in their developmental stage and a final design for the park is not yet ready for approval, there is no benefit in modifying the MND/Initial Study each time the preliminary park concept is modified and/or update. E-6 The MMRP was revised to include the method of verification, timing and the responsible party for Mitigation Measure 9. E-7 Comment noted.

F-4 Section C of the MND has been revised to state that the project and the design of the future Community Park would utilize the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines. F-5 Figure 5, Otay Valley Regional Park, has been added to the MND, showing the project’s relationship to the Park. F-6 See response E-5, above. F-7 No brush management is anticipated to be necessary for the project beyond the project site. The design includes industrial development pads above the floodway, with a permanently irrigated slope of minimum 50 feet between the pads and the floodway. There is an additional approximately 100 feet to the City of Chula Vista boundary and at least 200 feet to the existing Otay River vegetation within the City of San Diego. In project site areas where there is existing vegetation (southwest corner), the project’s proposed storm water basins would ensure that all habitable structures are further than 100 feet away. The preliminary design for the future community park does not show any habitable structures within 100 feet of existing natural vegetation. Final plans of the park design would be reviewed in accordance with Chula Vista brush management regulations. F-8 Comment noted. The OVRP’s Citizen Advisory Committee has been added on the list of agencies to receive environmental documents prepared by the City of Chula Vista. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 69 1 Mitigated Negative Declaration PROJECT NAME: Otay River Business Park Specific Plan PROJECT LOCATION: Main Street and Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91911 ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO.: APN 629-030-04, 629-030-05, 629-040-09, 629-040-10, 629-040-12, 629-040-16, 629-040-20, 629-040-23, 629- 040-24, 629-040-27, 629-050-05, 629-061-01 PROJECT APPLICANT: Sudberry Properties, Inc. CASE NO.: IS15-0005/MPA15-0022 DATE OF DRAFT DOCUMENT: October 26, 2017 DATE OF FINAL DOCUMENT: January 8, 2018 Revisions made to this document subsequent to the issuance of the notice of availability of the draft Negative Declaration are denoted by underline. A. Project Setting The 52.87-acre project site is located just north of the existing City of Chula Vista boundary in southern San Diego County and consists of multiple contiguous parcels. The project site is situated within the City’s Southwest Planning Area along the north side of the Otay River, east of Interstate 5 (I-5) and west of Interstate 805 (I-805). The project site is also located within the boundaries of the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). It is within the Main Street District, which functions as a commercial-industrial service corridor, with residential neighborhoods located generally north of the corridor and the Otay River Valley open space to the south. The project area is bordered on the north by Main Street, on the west by Broadway/Beyer Boulevard, on the east by Fourth Avenue/Beyer Way, with the Otay River along the southern boundary. The project site’s former uses have included both mining/industrial uses and agricultural uses. Approximately one-third of the property, in the area immediately south of Main Street on the eastern portion, is characterized by former agricultural row-crop fields. The majority of the project site has been graded or disturbed, with both paved and unpaved parking, driveways and roads throughout the parcels, and various structures associated with the previous heavy industrial uses, former concrete batch operations, and former agricultural field activities. The project site is zoned as Limited Industrial with a Precise Plan Overlay (ILP) and designated as Limited Industrial by the General Plan, with a designation for a future Community Park in the vicinity of this property. Land use within the Otay River is designated Open Space. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 70 2 The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (Specific Plan) project includes an area set aside for a park site, which is adjacent within to the Otay Valley River Regional Park (OVRP) boundaries. The Specific Plan area is also adjacent to a parcel to the south located in the City of San Diego zoned Open Space Floodplain. The southern portion of the Specific Plan area directly adjacent to the City boundary is a planning area designated as a floodway, with limited open space uses allowed per Chula Vista Municipal Code. B. Project Description The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan project proposes business park uses and retail services to serve the existing community and proposes a Specific Plan to allow development of a high quality industrial business park with ancillary support commercial services. The proposed Specific Plan establishes the land use, intensity, development regulations, design standards, and primary infrastructure components to support future development of the project. The Specific Plan proposes industrial and commercial lots served by new street connections to the existing street system and an area for a future Community Park, as designated by the City of Chula Vista, in the area situated adjacent to and above the Otay River Valley. Planning Area 1 (Commercial) – Situated adjacent to Main Street, between Fourth Avenue and Seventh Avenue at the north edge of the Specific Plan area. Allowed uses under the commercial designation include general industry; light industry and research; services (except for major automobile repair centers, commercial recreation facilities, social organizations and hotel uses; commercial retail; and food services. Planning Area 2 (Transitional Limited Commercial/Business Park) – Area of property south of Planning Area 1 and north of Faivre Street between Fourth Avenue and Seventh Avenue, and lots adjacent to Broadway to the south of Faivre Street. Allowed uses in the transitional area include general industry; light industry and research; services (except for personal care services, commercial recreation, social organizations or hotel uses); commercial retail; and some food services. Planning Area 3 (Business Park) – Remainder of lots to be developed within the project site excluding Planning Areas 1 and 2. These include lots north of Faivre Street and west of Seventh Avenue, and lots south of Faivre Street that do not border the frontage with Broadway. Allowed uses in the business park include general industry; light industry; services associated with medical laboratories, veterinary offices or animal hospitals, business offices, copy services, major automobile and repair centers; commercial retail including plant nurseries, and building material sales and equipment rental; and food services in the form of an accessory tasting room. Planning Area 4 (Floodway and Habitat Area) – Located along the southern boundary of the Specific Plan Area. The floodway and habitat area are designated as open space and general grading and development are not permitted within the floodway, except as allowed in CVMC 19.50.040 and subject to all regulations by FEMA and in CVMP 19.50 and 14.18. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 71 3 Planning Area 5 (Park Site) – Situated in the eastern portion of the Specific Plan Area, from Fourth Avenue south to Specific Plan boundary. Land uses within the park site are restricted to public park with related structures. This Planning Area is designated as open space and is subject to the provisions of CVMC 19.50 Flood Zone Regulations. As stated above, Planning Area 5 is designated as undeveloped land available for use as a community park. Figure 3, Preliminary Park Graphic, shows preliminary park uses that include three multi-purpose fields with lighting, two tennis courts with lighting, two basketball courts with lighting, ten picnic tables, two play areas with play equipment, restrooms/maintenance building, dog park, and open lawn areas. Support facilities for the park would include paved walkways with lighting, trail linkages to Otay River Valley Regional Park, parking lot, and ten bicycle racks. Access through the park would also be supported by an access road, with entrances off 4th Avenue and Street A and a pedestrian bridge over the existing drainage channel. C. Compliance with Zoning and Plans The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan area is regulated by the City of Chula Vista land use and zoning standards. The project site is within the ILP zone and is designated in the General Plan as Limited Industrial, with a designation for a future Community Park in the vicinity of this property. The Precise Plan Overlay of the Limited Industrial zone allows for certain industrial uses but limits others that create a greater nuisance or impact on nearby residents and businesses. Land use within the Otay River portion of the project site is designated Open Space in the Chula Vista General Plan. The park area of the Specific Plan is adjacent to the OVRP and park design would utilize the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines. The project site is located within the OVRP boundaries. The OVRP was established in the early 1990’s between the City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego and County of San Diego. The OVRP area extends over 11 miles along the Otay River from the southeastern edge of the South Bay Wildlife Refuge through the Otay River Valley to the land surrounding the Otay Lakes area, and encompasses approximately 9,000 acres. The OVRP Concept Plan and Design Guidelines are the documents that provide the framework for direction and guidance for parkland acquisition, development efforts, and evaluations of private development that may potentially affect the OVRP. These documents provide direction related to trails and landscape treatment for improvements within public lands as well as private development that is located within the OVRP. The Concept Plan does not preclude development of private lands that are located within its boundaries. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan was prepared using the guidelines for the OVRP and incorporates the guidelines for private development in the developed portion of the site, and the design standards for the future park area and the portions of the developed site that face the future park and the Otay River Valley. D. Public Comments On February 28, 2017, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project site. The public review period ended March 13, 2017. No comments were received. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 72 4 E. Identification of Environmental Effects An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached Environmental Checklist form) determined that, although the proposed project could have a significant environmental effect, there would not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures described in Section F, below, have been added to the project. The preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Biological Resources A Biological Assessment Report was prepared by BLUE Consulting Group, dated October 16, 2017, to assess the potential biological resource impacts of the project. This report is on file and available for review with the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department. The Biological Assessment Report analyzes the potential impacts from light industrial/commercial business park development proposed for the western two-thirds of the project site, its grading impacts and dedication of the proposed open space. The Biological Assessment also addresses future development of a City park located within the eastern one- third of the property. Within the approximately 52.87-acre project site, a total of seven vegetation communities were observed on-site: southern willow scrub (SWS), disturbed open water/disturbed freshwater marsh (FWM), arundo scrub, disturbed tamarisk scrub, eucalyptus woodland, general agriculture, and urban/developed land. The project site supports jurisdictional wetlands and waters, a jurisdictional flood control channel, and the following sensitive habitat types: disturbed wetlands- freshwater marsh, tamarisk scrub, arundo scrub, and SWS. One wildlife (bird) SSC was observed on-site: the yellow warbler which has a moderate potential to nest on-site. Off-site to the south within the Otay River, two additional SSC were observed: Clark’s marsh wren and yellow-breasted chat. Least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, California horned lark, Clark’s marsh wren (MAWR) and yellow-breasted chat (YBCH) were not observed on-site. However, due to the presence of potentially appropriate habitat, it has been determined that these species have a moderate chance to occur. A single sensitive plant community, identified as jurisdictional and City wetlands (SWS), was observed on-site. The 0.33 acre of SWS is located in the southwestern corner of the project site and is regarded as Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdictional wetlands and City wetlands. No plant listed as sensitive by the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) (rare, sensitive, narrow endemic, etc.) was observed on-site. Due to the developed/highly disturbed condition of the site, no sensitive plants are expected to occur. Several other sensitive species are known to occur in the vicinity of the project site. However, due to the ruderal nature of the property, these species are not considered as potentially occurring on-site based on the historical and ongoing impacts, uses, and maintenance. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 73 5 Project Impact The project site is located within the City of Chula Vista MSCP area but outside of any Major/Minor Amendment Area, City of San Diego Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHPA), and City of Chula Vista Preserve boundary. Jurisdictional and City wetlands were observed on-site. Development of a future City park would potentially impact 1.66 acres of FWM jurisdictional wetlands and 0.17 acres of City disturbed wetlands (arundo scrub). These impacts, totaling 1.83 acres, would require wetland compensatory mitigation and permitting in consultation with the City/ACOE/Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). To mitigate for direct impacts to jurisdictional and City wetlands, mitigation measures listed in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration would be implemented reduce direct impacts to below a level of significance. As described below, potential indirect impacts resulting from the proposed development are unlikely to occur. However, because there is a potential for indirect impacts, this is regarded as an impact from the project. Nesting Birds. The proposed project both supports and is located proximate to appropriate habitat for nesting migratory birds and raptors. However, preconstruction nesting surveys shall be implemented that reduce potential impacts to below significance. Therefore, the project shall not result in potentially significant indirect impacts to nesting birds. Water Quality. The proposed project site is located proximate to an ephemeral drainage and will continue to partially drain into it, within the existing concrete brow ditches which drain into the canyon and the existing ephemeral drainage at its center. Water quality has the potential to be adversely affected by potential surface runoff and sedimentation during the construction and operation of the project; however, Best Management Practices (BMPs) would be implemented that would reduce potential impacts to below significance. Therefore, the project is not expected to decrease water quality or affect vegetation, aquatic animals, or terrestrial wildlife that depends upon the water resources. Habitat Disturbance. Development of residential, commercial, office, and/or restaurant uses typically lead to an increase in human presence on and around project sites. However, this is a re-development project which is predominantly within the pre-existing developed envelope. Therefore, while there may be an increase in total human activity in the area, the area has already absorbed the biological loss to function and value and it is unlikely that the project could lead to further fragmentation of habitat and the degradation of sensitive habitat if people or pets wandered outside the developed area. Additionally, illegal dumping of green waste, trash, and other refuse, which currently negatively impacts the adjacent habitat in the canyon, would be curtailed. Edge Effects. Edge effects occur when blocks of habitat are fragmented by development. These edges make it easier for non-native plant species to invade native habitats. Edge effects can also make it easier for both native and non-native predators to access prey that may have otherwise have been protected within large, contiguous blocks of habitat. In 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 74 6 addition, the disruption of predator-prey, parasite-host, and plant-pollinator relations can occur. The proposed project would not lead to significant edge effects. The project's proposed landscape plan does not include any invasive plant species. Steep slopes that rim development areas are within the BMZ 1 and 2 and would be landscaped in Fire Marshal approved native and naturalized plant material and serve as a buffer to native habitat to the north of the project site. Additionally, the project does not affect contiguous blocks of habitat. Night-time Lighting. Development of the project site would introduce night-time lighting in the form of street and parking lights, car headlights, and residential lights. Night-time lighting on native habitats can provide nocturnal predators with an unnatural advantage over their prey. This could cause an increased loss in native wildlife that could be a significant impact unless mitigated. Nighttime lighting would be consistent with the City’s lighting requirements and would not cause significant impacts on wildlife habitat. Fugitive Dust. Fugitive dust produced by construction could disperse onto vegetation. Effects on vegetation due to airborne dust could occur adjacent to construction. A continual cover of dust may reduce the overall vigor of individual plants by reducing their photosynthetic capabilities and increasing their susceptibility to pests or disease. This, in turn, could affect animals’ dependent on these plants (e.g., seed eating rodents or insects or browsing herbivores). Fugitive dust impacts would not be considered significant because the project would be required to implement mandatory dust control requirements that ensure dust control and significant impacts would not occur. The project has the potential to result in significant indirect impacts to biological resources located adjacent to the proposed project. To mitigate potential indirect impacts associated with the project, mitigation measures presented in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration would be implemented. Implementation of those measures would mitigate the potential for indirect impacts to below a level of significance. Additionally, preventative measures, as described below, are recommended to be implemented and noted as conditions of approval. • Prior to initiating any construction related activities, including clearing, grubbing, grading and construction, a qualified, City approved biological monitor shall be retained by the Projects proponent and shall be on-site during clearing, grubbing, and/or grading activities. The biological monitor shall attend all preconstruction meetings and be present during the removal of any vegetation to ensure that the approved limits of disturbance are not exceeded and provide periodic monitoring of the impact area including, but not limited to, trenches, stockpiles, storage areas and protective fencing. In addition, the biological monitor shall be on site during construction to ensure that vehicles stay within the limits of the existing access road. The biological monitor shall be authorized to halt all associated Projects activities that may be in violation of the City’s MSCP Subarea Plan and/or permits issued by any other agencies having jurisdictional authority over the Projects. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 75 7 • Prior to initiating any construction related activities, including clearing, grubbing, grading and construction, all workers shall be educated by a City approved biologist to recognize and avoid those areas which have been marked as sensitive biological resources. • Prior to initiating any construction related activities, including clearing, grubbing, grading and construction, biological fencing (i.e., ESA-type fencing) shall be installed in accordance with (Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) 17.35.030. Prominently colored, well-installed fencing and signage shall be in place wherever the limits of grading are adjacent to sensitive vegetation communities or other biological resources, as identified by the qualified monitoring biologist. Fencing shall remain in place during all construction activities. All temporary fencing shall be shown on grading plans for areas adjacent to and/or within the Preserve. Hazards/Hazardous Materials Geocon Incorporated prepared a Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment Report for the proposed project (January 27, 2017). This report is on file and available for review at the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department. The northern portion of the project site was used historically for cultivated agriculture. Pesticide use on these parcels was reported in the records provided by the County of San Diego, Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures (DAWM). Because the project site is being developed for industrial/commercial use, potential past use of pesticides and possible pesticides in the soil would not pose a significant risk to on-site users. Project Impact Based upon the age of the on-site structures, the potential exists for asbestos containing material (ACM) and/or lead-containing paints (LCP) to be present in structures at the project site. An ACM and LCP survey prior to demolition of the on-site structures to confirm the absence or presence of these materials and to determine appropriate health and safety requirements for demolition and appropriate disposal of demolition debris would be conducted. Any undocumented subsurface structures or areas of apparent contamination encountered during site redevelopment activities, including additional septic tanks, underground storage tanks (USTs), wells, etc., would be properly abandoned/removed prior to site development in accordance with County Department of Environmental Health (DEH) regulatory requirements. Based on the findings of the Phase I and Phase II records search, there is evidence of illegal dumping; and it is apparent that undocumented fill, consisting of concrete and other debris is buried in the subsurface of the site. The burial of concrete and other materials is only allowed as part of a pre-approved and planned engineered fill. Therefore, the proposed project has the potential to result in a hazard associated with undocumented fill. The project would be required to submit a Soil Management Plan for review and approval by DEH. The project would also be required to go through the DEH’s Voluntary Assistance Program (VAP) (see Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration). With the 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 76 8 implementation of the mitigation measure presented in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the release or hazardous materials into the environment. Impacts would be less than significant. Noise A Noise Analysis Report was prepared by dBF Associates, Inc. (June 14, 2017) for the proposed project. This report is on file and available for review at the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department. Project Impact Construction of the project would generate a temporary increase in noise in the project area. Short-term noise impacts would be associated with grading and construction activities of the proposed project. Construction-related short term noise levels would be higher than existing ambient noise levels in the project area, but would no longer occur once construction is completed. Construction of the project would occur within the hours designated by the City of Chula Vista and City of San Diego Municipal Codes. Construction noise levels would be below the 75 dBA Leq (12 hour) sound level allowed by the City of San Diego Municipal Code. Project construction noise impacts to residences would be less than significant. Operational noise sources associated with industrial park land uses typically include truck deliveries, loading dock activities, outdoor mechanical equipment, and maintenance activities such as parking lot sweepers and trash collection trucks. Other noise sources associated with these uses may include shop tools and forklifts. The noise levels generated by the project parcels would vary depending on the specific use. Variables include: size of equipment, location and orientation of equipment, and number and location of loading docks, parking areas, etc. Although the exact noise levels generated cannot be specifically quantified at this time because of the many variables involved, typical noise levels associated with these land uses generally range from approximately 50-75 dBA Leq at 50 feet. On-site project noise sources placed within Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and closer than 75 feet from a project property line, could exceed City of Chula Vista Municipal Code noise limits at a residential land use. Without mitigation, the project would have the potential to generate noise levels in excess of established standards and result in a significant noise impact. Approximately 12 acres (Lot A/PA 5) of this Specific Plan area are set aside for a future Community Park site. The primary noise source associated with a park is typically children yelling and playing in designated play areas. Based on sound level measurements of similar facilities, approximately 150 elementary-aged children playing produces approximately 62 dBA Leq at 55 feet from the edge of the play area. All primary park activities would occur at least 55 feet from the park boundary. Under the assumption that no more than 150 children would utilize any discrete area of the park at any given time, the park would produce a noise level of 65 dBA Leq or less at adjacent land uses. The park would comply with the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code daytime noise limits at all adjacent permitted land uses. Project- generated community park noise impact would be less than significant. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 77 9 The proposed project would generate traffic along existing roadways in the project area. An analysis was conducted of the project’s effect on traffic noise conditions at off-site land uses. Existing-without-project traffic noise levels were compared to existing-with-project traffic noise levels. Traffic noise modeling was used to estimate noise levels at general reference distance of 50 feet from the centerline of the nearest roadway. The addition of project traffic would increase noise levels by up to 1 dBA CNEL along all project roadway segments assessed. Sound level variations of less than 3 dBA are not detectable by the typical human ear. Project-generated traffic noise impacts at off-site land uses would be less than significant. The southern project property line, which is the boundary between the cities of Chula Vista and San Diego, is also the boundary between the City of Chula Vista MSCP Preserve (Preserve) and the City of San Diego MSCP area and MHPA. The sizes and locations of the project buildings, and the mechanical equipment plans, layouts, and operations are not yet known. However, noise associated with truck deliveries, loading dock activities (including trash compactors), outdoor mechanical equipment (such as air compressors, pumps, fans and cooling towers) and maintenance activities (such as parking lot sweepers and trash collection trucks) on Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12 have the potential to exceed 60 dBA Leq within the Preserve and result in a significant noise impact. Construction related activities including clearing, grubbing, and construction on Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12 have the potential to exceed 60 dBA Leq within the Preserve and result in a significant noise impacts if performed during the breeding season of the least Bell’s vireo (March 15 to September 15), California gnatcatcher (February 15 to August 15), or southern willow flycatcher (May 1 to August 31) and the birds are present. Significant noise impacts would not occur if construction was performed outside of the breeding season or if the birds were not present. To mitigate for construction and operational noise impacts, as well as noise impacts to biological resources to below a level of significance, the mitigation measures listed in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration would be implemented. Transportation/Traffic LOS Engineering, Inc. prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed project (March 22 2017). This report is on file and available for review at the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department. As part of the Traffic Impact Analysis, two trip generation rates were applied: a driveway rate for project access points and a cumulative rate (accounts for primary and diverted trips) that was applied for all other analyzed roadways. Based on project acreage, the project driveway volumes were calculated at 7,908 average daily traffic (ADT) with 658 morning (AM) peak hour trips and 857 evening (PM) peak hour trips. The cumulative traffic volumes were calculated at 6,414 ADT with 601 AM peak hour trips and 717 PM peak hour trips. Based on the Traffic Impact Analysis, all of the study street segments were calculated to operate at LOS B or better and the intersections were calculated to operate and LOS D or better with no significant direct project impacts under existing conditions with project 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 78 10 buildout. Under horizon year 2035 with project conditions, the study intersections were calculated to operate at LOS D or better, except for: 1) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 SB Ramps (LOS F AM & PM) 2) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 NB Ramps (LOS F PM) Additionally, the study segments were calculated to operate at LOS C or better, except for four study segments of Main Street from Industrial/Hollister to I-805 (LOS D daily). The project is calculated to have cumulatively significant impacts to the aforementioned two intersections and to one segment on Main Street from Third Avenue to I-805. Project Impact The project has zero (0) direct impacts and three (3) cumulative impacts. Under horizon year with project conditions, the project is calculated to have cumulative impacts at: 1) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 SB Ramps (LOS F AM & PM) 2) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 NB Ramps (LOS F PM) 3) Segment of Main Street from Third Avenue to I-805 (LOS D) To mitigate the four cumulatively significant horizon year impacts to below a level of significance, the mitigation measures listed in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration would be implemented. F. Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Impacts Biological Resources 1. To avoid any direct impacts to raptors and/or any migratory birds, removal of habitat that supports active nests on the proposed area of disturbance should occur outside of the breeding season for these species (January 15 to September 15). If removal of habitat on the proposed area of disturbance must occur during the breeding season, a qualified, City approved biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds on the proposed area of disturbance. The preconstruction survey must be conducted within 10 calendar days prior to the start of construction activities (including removal of vegetation). The applicant shall submit the results of the reconstruction survey to the City for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. If nesting birds are detected, a letter report or mitigation plan as deemed appropriate by the City shall be prepared and include proposed measures to be implemented to ensure that disturbance of breeding activities is avoided. The report or mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval and implemented to the satisfaction of the City. The City’s Mitigation Monitor shall verify and approve that all measures identified in the report or mitigation plan are in place prior to and/or during construction. 2. For any work proposed during the least Bell’s vireo or southern willow flycatcher nesting season (LBV: March 15 to September 15; SWF: May 1 to August 31), prior to initiating any construction related activities, including clearing, grubbing, grading and 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 79 11 construction, a preconstruction survey shall be performed in order to determine the presence/absence of these species and extent of any occupied habitat. The preconstruction survey area for these species shall encompass all suitable habitats within the project work zone, as well as a 300-foot buffer. The preconstruction survey shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) by a qualified biologist familiar with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The results of the preconstruction survey must be submitted in a report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. If the species are detected, a minimum 300-foot buffer delineated by orange biological fencing shall be established around the detected species to ensure that no work shall occur within the occupied habitat during their respective nesting season and onsite noise reduction techniques have been incorporated, as appropriate. The Development Services Director (or their designee) shall have the discretion to modify the buffer width depending on site- specific conditions. If the results of the preconstruction survey determine that the survey area is unoccupied, the work may commence at the discretion of the Development Services Director (or their designee) following the review and approval of the preconstruction report. 3. Prior to the issuance of grading/development permits for the future park, additional Agency permitting and consultation would be required. The permitting agencies would be the USACE (404 nationwide permit) and RWQCB (401 certification). As part of site development as a light industrial, commercial business park, the avoided wetlands would be placed within an open space easement in Lot B, totaling 0.44 acre. 4. Impacts to the 1.66 acres of freshwater marsh would require mitigation and permitting consultation with ACOE/RWQCB. For this habitat type, the City mitigation requirements range from 1:1 to 2:1. 5. Impacts to the 0.17 acre of arundo scrub would require mitigation and permitting consultation with ACOE/RWQCB. For this habitat type, the City mitigation requirements range from 1:1 to 2:1. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 1. Prior to City issuance of any grading plans for the site, the Project owner/permitee shall prepare a Soil Management Plan for review and approval by DEH as part of DEH’s Voluntary Assistance Plan (VAP). The Soil Management Plan shall address soil conditions that might be encountered during site grading due to undocumented fill buried on the project site. If unsuitable material is encountered during excavation, the material shall be segregated, characterized, and disposed of in a manner acceptable to DEH. Noise 1. In order to mitigate potential operational noise impacts to existing noise-sensitive land uses, concurrent with design review and prior to the approval of building permits for Lot 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, each applicant shall be responsible for the preparation of a lot- 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 80 12 specific analysis ensuring that noise from loading docks and outdoor mechanical equipment (trash compactors, air compressors, pumps, fans and cooling towers, etc.) comply with City of Chula Vista Municipal Code noise limits. The analysis must identify the noise source locations, noise levels, and noise control measures, as necessary, to demonstrate compliance with the noise limits in the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code and ensure that the appropriate measures are incorporated into the project lot plans. Noise control measures may include, but are not limited to, setbacks, sound walls, parapet walls, mechanical equipment enclosures, silencers and/or mufflers. 2. In order to mitigate potential operational noise impacts to biological resources, concurrent with design review and prior to the approval of building permits for Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12, each applicant shall be responsible for the preparation of a lot- specific noise analysis ensuring that noise from loading docks and outdoor mechanical equipment (trash compactors, air compressors, pumps, fans and cooling towers, etc.) does not exceed 60 dBA Leq at the boundary of the Preserve. The analysis must identify the noise source locations, noise levels, and noise control measures, as necessary, to demonstrate compliance with the MHPA 60 dBA Leq noise limit and ensure that the appropriate measures are incorporated into the project lot plans Noise control measures may include, but are not limited to, setbacks, sound walls, parapet walls, mechanical equipment enclosures, silencers and/or mufflers. 3. The following measures would be implemented to mitigate potential impacts to migratory birds: • To avoid direct impacts to least Bell’s vireo, California gnatcatcher, southern willow flycatcher and other migratory birds, construction related activities shall not be performed, including clearing, grubbing, grading and construction, between February 15 to September 15, unless absence of nesting activity is confirmed. • In order to mitigate construction noise, prior to initiating any construction related activities during the least Bell’s vireo, California gnatcatcher or southern willow flycatcher breeding seasons, including clearing, grubbing, and grading, a preconstruction survey shall be performed to determine the presence/absence of these species and extent of any occupied habitat. The preconstruction survey area shall encompass all suitable habitats within the project work zone, as well as a 300-foot buffer. The preconstruction survey shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) by a qualified biologist familiar with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The results of the preconstruction survey must be submitted in a report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. • If a nesting bird species is detected, a minimum 300-foot buffer delineated by orange biological fencing shall be established around the detected species to ensure that no work shall occur within the occupied habitat during their 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 81 13 respective nesting season and onsite noise reduction techniques have been incorporated, as appropriate. The Development Services Director (or their designee) shall have the discretion to modify the buffer width depending on site-specific conditions. If the results of the preconstruction survey determine that the survey area is unoccupied, the work may commence at the discretion of the Development Services Director (or their designee). • At least 10 days prior to the start of work, each applicant shall be responsible for the preparation of a lot-specific noise analysis ensuring that noise from construction does not exceed 60 dBA Leq at the boundary of the Preserve. The analysis must identify the noise source locations, noise levels, and noise control measures, as necessary, to demonstrate compliance with the MHPA 60 dBA Leq noise limit and ensure that the appropriate measures are incorporated into the project construction plan. Transportation/Traffic 1. To mitigate for horizon year cumulative intersection impact, the applicant would pay appropriate Western Transportation Development Impact Fees (WTDIF) because the project traffic comprises less than five percent of the total background volume. The WTDIF lists a project identified as “Facility I-806-2” that includes the widening of the Main Street undercrossing (beneath I-805) for an eastbound to northbound left turn lane. With the noted improvement, the intersection operations improve to LOS C and D at these two cumulative impact locations. The percentage of project traffic as compared to horizon year traffic for the intersections, along with the WTDIF mitigation LOS, are shown below. Cumulative Impact Location Project Traffic Percentage (less than or greater than 5%) WTDIF Facility I-805-2 LOS 1) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 SB Ramp AM project trips = 129; PM background trips = 3,410 (129/3,410 = 3.8%); therefore, less than 5% PM project trips = 133; PM background trips = 4,700 (133/4,700 = 2.8%); therefore, less than 5% With noted WTDIF improvement, intersection operations improved to LOS C (AM) and LOS D (PM). 2) Intersection of Main Street/I-805 NB Ramp AM project trips = 47; PM background trips = 3,640 (47/3,640 = 1.3%); therefore, less than 5% PM project trips = 84; PM background trips = 5,270 (84/5,270 = 1.6%); therefore, less than 5% With noted WTDIF improvement, intersection operations improved to LOS C (AM) and LOS D (PM). 2. To mitigate for the horizon year cumulative segment impact, the applicant would pay appropriate WTDIF because the project traffic comprises less than five percent of the total background volume. The cumulative segment impact is no longer considered significant if the controlling ends of the segment are at acceptable LOS, which occurs with implementation of WTDIF I-805-2 as previously described. However, the WTDIF includes two projects on Main Street identified as “Facility RAS-17: Main Street Improvement from I-5 to I-805” and “Facility BP-4: Main Street bike lanes from Industrial Blvd to I-805”. The percentage of project traffic as compared to horizon year traffic for the segment and segment operations are shown below. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 82 14 Cumulative Impact Location Project Traffic Percentage (less than or greater than 5%) Segment Operations 3) Segment of Main Street from 3rd Ave to I-805 Daily project trips = 1,395; daily background trips = 31,700 (1,395/31,700 = 4.4%); therefore, less than 5% Segment LOS D is considered acceptable when the intersection LOS at Main Street/I-805 is acceptable as shown in TRAFFIC-1. 3. In addition to the required cumulative mitigation noted above, the applicant would implement the following improvements to be secured and constructed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer: a. Install a traffic signal at Main Street/Seventh Avenue (as identified in the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan approved by City Council on 9/22/15) to be completed with the development of the 2.94-acre commercial portion of the project fronting Main Street. This signal was identified in the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan; therefore, a fee credit reimbursement would be established to off-set the cost of this signal. b. Construct Street A/Faivre Street (extension of Faivre Street) from Broadway to Fourth Avenue and extend Seventh Avenue to Street A/Faivre Street. All project roadways and intersections are to be constructed at one time – no phasing is proposed. c. Install a traffic signal at Broadway/Street A/Faivre Street and close the existing driveway immediately across from Faivre Street (currently provides driveway access to Deseret Industries). Two new Deseret Industries’ driveways would be constructed on Street A/Faivre Street along their project frontage. All project roadways and intersections are to be constructed at one time – no phasing is proposed d. Install an all-way stop control for Street A/Faivre Street and Seventh Avenue. All project roadways and intersections are to be constructed at one time – no phasing is proposed. e. Install a traffic signal at Street A/Faivre Street/Fourth Avenue. All project roadways and intersections are to be constructed at one time – no phasing is proposed. f. Improve the alley located along the northerly edge of Lots 1 and 2. Improvement details and limits are included on the civil pans. Alley improvements to be completed concurrent with Street A/Faivre Street improvements. G.

In order to mitigate construction noise, prior to initiating any construction related activities during the least Bell’s vireo, California gnatcatcher or southern willow flycatcher breeding seasons, including clearing, grubbing, and grading, a preconstruction survey shall be performed to determine the presence/absence of these species and extent of any occupied habitat. The preconstruction survey area shall encompass all suitable habitats within the project work zone, as well as a 300-foot buffer. The preconstruction survey shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) by a qualified biologist familiar with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The results of the preconstruction survey must be submitted in a report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. If a nesting bird species is detected, a minimum 300-foot buffer delineated by orange biological fencing shall be established around the detected species to ensure that no work shall occur within the occupied habitat during their respective nesting season and onsite noise reduction techniques have been incorporated, as appropriate. The Development Services Director (or their designee) shall have the discretion to modify the buffer width depending on site-specific conditions. If the results of the preconstruction survey determine that the survey area is unoccupied, the work may commence at the discretion of the Development Services Director (or their designee).

The property is situated within the City’s Southwest Planning Area along the north side of the Otay River, east of Interstate 5 and west of Interstate 805. The property is also located within the boundaries of the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). The project location is shown on Exhibit 1 Regional Map and Exhibit 2 Vicinity Map. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (the “Plan” or “ORBP”) envisions the development of a high quality industrial business park that will enhance the opportunities for quality, contemporary business uses with ancillary support commercial services, complementary to its surroundings. The Specific Plan establishes the land use, intensity, development regulations, design standards, and primary infrastructure components that will support future development of the project. The Specific Plan proposes industrial and commercial lots served by new street connections to the existing street system. The Plan incorporates an area for a future Community Park, as designated by the 2005 General Plan of the City of Chula Vista in this area, and is situated adjacent to and above the Otay River Valley. The majority of the Site has been graded or disturbed, with both paved and unpaved parking, driveways and roads throughout the parcels, various buildings and structures associated with the existing heavy industrial uses, former concrete batch operations, and former agricultural field activities. The Otay River Business Park will provide a new development pattern at this site with business park uses and complementary amenities for the existing community. 1.1 Specific Plan Location and Boundaries The property within the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (the “Site”) is located in the southwestern portion of the City of Chula Vista, south of Main Street between Interstates 5 and 805, at Main Street and Fourth Avenue. It is within the Main Street District, which functions as a commercial-industrial service corridor, with residential neighborhoods located generally north of the corridor, and the Otay River Valley open space to the south. The Site is bordered on the north by Main Street, on the west by Broadway/Beyer Boulevard, on the east by Fourth Avenue, with the Otay River along the southern boundary. It is located approximately 1 mile east of Interstate 5 and 2 miles west of Interstate 805, and consists of multiple contiguous parcels of land. Exhibit 1 Regional Map 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 110 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLANREGIONAL MAP Source: SANGIS EXHIBIT 12018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 111 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 3 1.2 Authority and Requirements California Government Code Section 65450 et seq. grants local planning agencies the authority to prepare Specific Plans for any area covered by a General Plan, as a tool for the implementation of the General Plan. A Specific Plan can effectively establish a link between implementing policies of the General Plan and an individual development proposal in a defined area. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan has been prepared in accordance with State Specific Plan requirements under the authority of Government Code Sections 65450-65457 and consistent with the State guidelines for the preparation of Specific Plans. This Specific Plan contains sections as required that address the following: 1. The distribution, location and extent of the use of land within the area covered by the plan. (Refer to Chapter 4) 2. The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of infrastructure (transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, and other essential facilities) proposed to be located within the area covered by the Plan and needed to support the land uses described in the Plan. (Refer to Chapter 6) 3. The standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. (Refer to Chapters 4 and 5) 4. Implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures. (Refer to Chapter 7) 5. A statement of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan. (Refer to Chapter 3) This Specific Plan details the land use proposal for the Otay River Business Park. The Plan discusses intensity, project character, open space, compatibility with surrounding development, and development design guidelines. 1.3 Purpose and Intent of the Specific Plan The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan has been prepared to implement the City of Chula Vista General Plan, and provides a comprehensive working document that describes guidelines and standards for implementation of the development. The document provides a detailed description of proposed land use and infrastructure requirements. Design and development standards have been prepared to assist in creating a business park that provides upgrades and improvements from the prior site land uses, in a way that complements the surrounding community. Careful consideration has been taken in terms of scale, character, intensity, lot size, architectural and site development standards for the Specific Plan. The key objectives are to provide a business park incorporating industrial, professional office, 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 112 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 4 and commercial uses to create economic opportunities in the area, provide land for future park uses and respect the Otay River floodway and Otay River Valley open space that is part of the adjacent Otay Valley Regional Park. Goals for the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan are established as follows: 1. Create a business park that respects the character of its surroundings, incorporates a quality design for attractive buildings and street frontages, provides locations for local businesses to operate, and is an asset to the City and region. 2. Promote a quality development consistent with the goals and policies of the Chula Vista General Plan and Design Standards for the Main Street District. 3. Provide for comprehensive planning that assures the orderly development of the site in relation to its surroundings. 4. Establish development and design regulations providing for high quality and visibly attractive landscaping and building architecture. 5. Protect environmentally sensitive areas within the Specific Plan boundaries, and designate usable area for a future community park adjacent to the Otay Valley River Regional Park that can link to existing OVRP trails. 6. Develop a Plan that is economically feasible and able to be implemented based on anticipated economic conditions such that no economic burden to the City of Chula Vista would occur. 1.4 Relationship of the Specific Plan to the Chula Vista Municipal Code The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan conforms to and implements the Chula Vista General Plan. It is a legislative document including a new set of zoning standards for the property that, in concert with other portions of the Municipal Code, will be applied to new project development. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of this Specific Plan and other sections of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, the provisions of this Specific Plan shall prevail. Where this Specific Plan does not address a standard or regulation, the existing provisions of the municipal code shall apply. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan will be reviewed by the City of Chula Vista and will ultimately be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council. The Council will have final review and approval authority. 1.5 Construction of Language As used in this Specific Plan, the terms “shall” means mandatory or required; “should” means recommended or desired; and “may” means optional. Where stated, numerical metrics take precedence over graphic metrics. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 113 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 5 1.6 Severability If any term, provision or condition of this Specific Plan is determined invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Specific Plan shall not be affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not rendered impractical to perform, taking into consideration the purposes of this Specific Plan. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 114 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 2 – PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 6 CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 2.1 Existing Land Use & Zoning Prior to Adoption of the Specific Plan The Otay River Business Park area is currently regulated by the City of Chula Vista land use and zoning standards. The 52.87-acre property is within the Southwest Planning Area and the Main Street District, and designated as Limited Industrial by the Chula Vista General Plan, with a designation for a future Community Park in the vicinity of this property. Land use within the Otay River is designated Open Space. Zoning on this site is ILP-Limited Industrial with a Precise Plan Overlay, the purpose of which is to allow for certain industrial uses but limiting others that create a greater nuisance or impact on nearby residents and businesses. The Main Street Corridor between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 is currently dominated by a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses with several areas, including part of the Specific Plan site, used for heavy industry. The Specific Plan site is located within the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) boundaries. The OVRP was established in the early 1990’s between the City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego and County of San Diego and extends over 11 miles along the Otay River from the southeastern edge of the South Bay Wildlife Refuge through the Otay River Valley to the land surrounding the Otay Lakes area. The OVRP Concept Plan and the Design Standards and Guidelines are the documents that provide the framework for direction and guidance for parkland acquisition, development efforts, and evaluations of private development that may potentially affect the OVRP. These documents provide direction related to trails and landscape treatment for improvements within public lands as well as private development that is located within the OVRP. The Concept Plan does not preclude development of private lands that are located within its boundaries. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan was prepared using the guidelines for the OVRP and incorporates the guidelines for private development in the developed portion of the site, and the design standards for the future park area and portions of the developed site that face the future park and the Otay River Valley. Exhibit 2 Vicinity Aerial Map 2.2 Site History and Current Property Use The Specific Plan site uses have included both mining/industrial uses and agricultural uses for many decades. About one third of the property, in the area immediately south of Main Street, is characterized by former agricultural row-crop fields, which had been one of the last remnants of the broader agricultural operations throughout this area during the early to mid-1900s. The majority of the property includes disturbed and developed areas associated with the former heavy industry activities of sand mining and concrete batch plant operations, begun by 1928. Batch plant operations expanded, with associated structures built by 1948. Additional administration buildings and aggregate conveyers were added in the 1960’s and 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 115 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLANVICINITY MAP Source: SANGIS, nearmap imagery EXHIBIT 22018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 116 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 2 – PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 8 1970’s and the operations remained until the mid-2000’s. In the westerly portion of the property were various industrial businesses, such as auto repair facilities and sales of marine and vehicular items constructed during the 1960’s-1970’s, all of which are no longer in operation and have been removed from the site. The majority of the Site has been graded or disturbed, with both paved and unpaved parking, driveways and roads throughout the parcels, various structures associated with the former uses, including the concrete batch operations. 2.3 Surrounding Land Uses The northwest corner of the area between Broadway and 7th Avenue and south of Main Street contains developments outside the Specific Plan comprising various commercial establishments including a gas station, repair shops, a thrift store, and one apartment complex across 7th Avenue from the Site along Main Street. Otherwise, Main Street is largely industrial and commercial in character, with residential neighborhoods located to the north of this corridor. Commercial uses focused on automotive repair and sales are across Main Street from the Site to the north. East of the site across Fourth Avenue are commercial uses and a self-storage facility. Adjacent to the Site between Fourth Avenue and the Otay River is open space property owned by the City of Chula Vista. Additional commercial and light industrial uses, along with an aggregate concrete plant, are across Broadway. South of the site is a previously graded portion of the former concrete batch plant operation that is within the City of San Diego boundary and not included in the Specific Plan. The Otay River channel is south of this parcel and contains dirt walking paths. No other development is present in the channel. Exhibit 3 Zoning Map 2.4 Physical Setting A. Topography The site has been previously graded, and slopes generally from the northeast, at about 55 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), down to the southwest corner, at about 32 feet AMSL. Exhibit 4 Existing Topography The proposed mass grading plan for this Specific Plan establishes future building pad areas, new street alignments, major stormwater systems, and elevates the building areas for future structures at least one foot above the 100- year floodplain. North of Faivre Street, the property will retain a high point of about 55 feet AMSL in the northeast corner, sloping down to 50 feet AMSL to 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 117 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANZONING EXHIBITSource: SANGIS, City of Chula VistaEXHIBIT32018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 118 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANEXISTING TOPOGRAPHYSource: SANGIS 8-15, K&S EngineeringEXHIBIT42018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 119 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 2 – PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 11 the proposed desilt basin #9. South of Faivre Street, the proposed grading starts at about 50 feet AMSL on the eastern portion adjacent to the future park space and drops to about 45 feet AMSL near the southwest corner of the site, with a slope along the southern boundary of the graded portion of the property. Exhibit 5 Mass Grading Plan B. Soils/Geology In the central and southern portion of the site, undocumented fill consisting of a wide variety of fine to very coarse material is present at about 10 to 30 feet thick. Under this undocumented fill is a layer 20 to 30 feet thick of young alluvium. Groundwater is present in lower elevations about 10-15 feet below surface and may require soil stabilization. The Site is about 5 miles east of the Newport-Inglewood/Rose Canyon Fault Zone and no faults (active or inactive) traverse the Site. Current soil conditions are at moderately high risk of liquefaction due to the soil conditions and presence of near-surface groundwater, and will require additional investigation prior to the development of a precise grading plan. Exhibit 6 Soils Exhibit C. Hydrology and Drainage Portions of the site are within the Otay River floodway and floodplain. The elevation of the southern portion of the Specific Plan site will be raised so that the final graded building pads would be out of the existing floodplain. The Savage Dam on Lower Otay Lake is located approximately 10 miles to the east, and a dam breach would inundate extensive areas downstream. The entire Specific Plan site is within the inundation area that would be associated with a breach of the Savage Dam at Lower Otay Lakes. Exhibit 7 Flood Zone Exhibit D. Biological Resources The Site is located within the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP). Within the Site, the following vegetation communities were found based on the current survey by BLUE Consulting Group: 1. Southern Willow Scrub: Approximately 0.33 acres onsite adjacent to the southern, southwestern boundary, and offsite adjacent to the eastern property lines. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 120 Otay RiveR Business PaRksPecific PlanMass GRadinG PlanSource: SANGIS 8-15, K&S EngineeringexhiBit52018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 121 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANSOILS EXHIBITSource: GEOCON, IncorporatedEXHIBIT6*Not to scale.

Tamarisk Scrub: Approximately 0.05 acre near the southern edge of the property. 6. Freshwater Marsh: Approximately 1.66 acres within the former mining basins. 7. Urban/Developed Land: Approximately 41.03 acres. The Southern Willow Scrub in the southwest corner and Freshwater Marsh in portions of the future park area are considered Sensitive Plant Communities, but no sensitive plant species were observed onsite. No sensitive animal species were observed onsite except for one Yellow Warbler bird which is a Species of Special Concern. It was observed in one of the former mining basins in the future park area. Chapter 4, Section 4.6 of this Specific Plan establishes criteria to limit grading in and adjacent to these areas. Urban/developed areas and agricultural areas onsite lack the resources to support wildlife, and only birds and evidence of mammals common to urban areas and the type of surrounding vegetation are present. Mature trees onsite provide a potential for nesting sites although no sensitive bird or mammal species are known to be present. Potential habitat for reptiles and amphibians is possible in the retention basins, depending on water flows, but none are currently present. No vernal pools or potential invertebrate habitat are onsite.

A summary of how this Otay River Business Park Specific Plan achieves or helps to implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, and therefore is consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, is presented in this Chapter. To reduce the length of this General Plan Consistency Analysis, this Chapter does not assess Specific Plan consistency with every goal or policy included in the adopted General Plan. Instead, it focuses on the goals and policies relevant to the land uses and development within the Specific Plan area Eight major themes support Chula Vista's vision for the future and provide a foundation for the policies and action programs of the General Plan. These themes represent the City's core values, which are also reflected in the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (ORBPSP) as summarized below: Theme 1 Strong Community Character and Image – The ORBPSP is adjacent to the Otay River, one of the unique physical features of the community that provide open space, trails, and recreational opportunities within the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). The Specific Plan will enhance the interface in this location through designation of land for a future community park, protection of the floodway as open space, and sensitive stormwater management and landscaping to enhance the river interface. The Specific Plan design also implements the design program of the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan which will enhance the character of this corridor and neighborhood. Theme 2 Healthy and Sustainable Economy – The Specific Plan will accommodate expansion of the local economy by providing for a broad range of business and employment opportunities, along with the improvement of local facilities and services to enhance quality of life. Future development in accordance with the ORBPSP will provide public facilities concurrent with need. Development under the ORBPSP represents an investment in new uses for this former mining site that will create opportunities to attract new businesses to enhance the City’s economic vitality. Theme 3 Strong and Safe Neighborhoods – The ORBPSP will create new employment opportunities and businesses within the community, along with new street connections through the area, and will set aside land for a future park in a neighborhood that has been identified in the General Plan to need additional park acreage. The new ORBP will help create an appealing area to shop, work and play, enhancing the nearby neighborhood. Theme 4 Improved Mobility – The ORBPSP provides for new street connections, incorporating landscaped sidewalks and bike lanes to serve pedestrians and bicyclists connecting to existing and future facilities and transit service in the immediate vicinity. The design elements of the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan will be implemented along the project frontage for this major east/west corridor. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 126 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 18 Theme 5 Healthy and Sustainable Environment – The ORBPSP is located adjacent to the Otay River Valley greenbelt and within the OVRP, and addresses protection of the floodway in permanent open space, transitional vegetation for protection of nearby habitat areas, as well as state of the art stormwater protections. The mix of uses, including industrial, commercial and future park uses, along with protection of floodway areas of the Otay River, will contribute to a healthy community by protecting resources and providing balanced, connected and sustainable land uses. Theme 6 High Quality Community Services – The Specific Plan incorporates the City’s requirements to ensure that services and infrastructure expand to match needs created by growth and redevelopment. Theme 7 Effective Growth Management and Plan Implementation – The ORBPSP refines the identified General Plan goals for industrial uses at this site, incorporating elements to serve a variety of community interests, including nearby employees, residents and businesses. This includes a mix of land uses that provide for jobs, services and shopping along with recreation (future park site, bicycle and pedestrian linkages). Theme 8 Shaping the Future Through the Present and Past - The ORBPSP includes landscape design features, including project corners landscaped to simulate the appearance or row crops and the inclusion of signage recognizing the agricultural history of the site, to respect and acknowledge the former agricultural heritage in this area. Additionally, the Specific Plan provides for implementation of the Streetscape Master Plan for Main Street, and addresses compatible land uses and edge transitions to existing and future uses, including the OVRP and future park site. In order to implement the City’s vision and themes, specific objectives and policies are established by the General Plan. The following discussion lists and describes those that are being implemented by the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan. 3.1 Land Use and Transportation Objective LUT-1 Provide a balance of residential and non-residential development throughout the City that achieves a vibrant development pattern, enhances the character of the City, and meets the present and future needs of all residents and businesses. Policies: LUT 1.5 Endeavor to create a mixture of employment opportunities for citizens at all economic levels. LUT 1.6 Attract and maintain land uses that generate revenue for the City of Chula Vista, while maintaining a balance of other community needs, such as housing, jobs, open space, and public facilities. LUT 1.15 Allow office uses that are associated with complementary commercial service businesses in commercial service areas. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 127 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 19 The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan allows for the development on the site of a former aggregate mine and concrete batch operation, heavy industrial uses and agricultural uses, into a Business Park that will provide for both commercial and light industrial development areas. Planned land uses may consist of a variety of industrial, office, service, retail, and food services that would provide employment opportunities for residents with a range of skills and education. The Specific Plan land uses include reserving a portion of the site and making it available for purchase by the City of Chula Vista for use as a public park, consistent with the General Plan land use map, in an area that can provide community recreation amenities, and complement existing open space within the Otay River Valley. Objective LUT-6 Ensure adjacent land uses are compatible with one another. Policies: LUT 6.1 Ensure, through adherence to design guidelines and zoning standards, that the design review process guarantees excellence in design and that new construction and alterations to existing buildings are compatible with the best character elements of the area. The Specific Plan establishes customized design guidelines and development standards for the ORBP to set the required and recommended characteristics of future development to ensure a quality project. These incorporate elements consistent with the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan, recognize the proximity to the Otay River with transitional buffer requirements, and will support a quality Business Park environment. Objective LUT-7 Appropriate transitions should be provided between land uses. Policies: LUT 7.4 Require landscape and/or open space buffers to maintain a naturalized or softer edge for proposed private development directly adjacent to natural and public open space areas. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan includes an area set aside for future purchase by the City of Chula Vista for a park site. Landscaping is required between the proposed Business Park and the park planning area, and on both sides of any proposed walls along this boundary. The Specific Plan area is also adjacent to a parcel to the south in the City of San Diego zoned Open Space Floodplain. The southern portion of the Specific Plan directly adjacent to the City boundary is a planning area designated as a floodway, with limited open space uses allowed (per Chula Vista Municipal Code, Section 19.50.040). Between the floodway and the building pads is a slope that is to be planted with native plant species appropriate for a slope as a transitional buffer between the River and the business park. Landscaping is required on both sides of any wall that is proposed along the top of this slope. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 128 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 20 Objective LUT-10 Create attractive street environments that complement private and public properties, create attractive public rights-of-way, and provide visual interest for residents and visitors. Policies: LUT 10.5 Require undergrounding of utilities on private property and develop a priority based program of utility undergrounding along public rights-of-way. Power poles within the Specific Plan boundaries or directly adjacent to the Plan boundaries are required to be undergrounded by the Site developer, except where the poles are providing power to existing uses. Objective LUT-11 Ensure that buildings and related site improvements for public and private development are well-designed and compatible with surrounding properties and districts. Policies: LUT 11.2 Promote and place a high priority on quality architecture, landscape, and site design to enhance the image of Chula Vista, and create a vital and attractive environment for businesses, residents, and visitors. LUT 11.3 The City shall, through the development of regulations and guidelines, ensure that good project landscape and site design creates places that are well-planned; attractive; efficient; safe; and pedestrian-friendly. LUT 11.4 Actively promote architectural and design excellence in buildings, open space, and urban design. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan sets forth standards governing site layout, building design, and landscape design in order to create a high quality project along the Main Street commercial corridor. Objective LUT-18 Reduce traffic demand through Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, increased use of transit, bicycles, walking, and other trip reduction measures. Policies: LUT 18.3 Provide and enhance all feasible alternatives to the automobile, such as bicycling and walking, and encourage public transit ridership on existing and future transit routes. LUT 18.9 Adopt roadway design guidelines that enhance street connectivity for pedestrians. The Specific Plan supports alternative transportation by including the requirement for bicycle lanes on both sides of all interior streets, and along the project boundary on Fourth Avenue and Main Street available to connect to future off-site bicycle lanes on surrounding streets. Non-contiguous sidewalks will be constructed throughout all streets within and directly adjacent to project boundaries (except for 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 129 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 21 existing sidewalk along Broadway) to connect with existing City sidewalks, enhance the pedestrian experience, and meet the standards of the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan along Main Street. The sidewalk and parkway widths along Main Street are sized according to the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. Should a future bus stop be designated along the project boundary, space will be available for transit stop amenities (such as bench, shelter, trash can) due to the width of landscaped areas provided adjacent to all streets. Objective LUT-23 Promote the use of non-polluting and renewable alternatives for mobility through a system of bicycle and pedestrian paths and trails that are safe, attractive and convenient forms of transportation. Policies: LUT 23.8a Use traffic calming techniques to improve integration between pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles. LUT 23.8b Ensure that pedestrian routes and sidewalks are integrated into continuous networks. LUT 23.8c Establish street/sidewalk/trail design guidelines that accommodate a range of users; including access for disabled and bicyclists where feasible. LUT 23.10 Promote the system of trails envisioned within the Chula Vista Greenbelt. LUT 23.11 Implement recommendations of the City's Bikeway Master Plan and Greenbelt Master Plan. LUT 23.14 Require new development projects to provide internal bikeway systems with connections to the citywide bicycle networks. The Specific Plan infrastructure design includes non-contiguous sidewalks along both sides of Faivre Street, both sides of 7th Avenue (except adjacent to existing offsite apartment building in order to protect existing mature trees and adjacent improvements), Fourth Avenue, and the project frontage along Main Street, consistent with the design parameters of the approved Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. The use of landscape between the street and sidewalk will enhance the pedestrian experience throughout the Specific Plan area. All corner ramps will meet ADA standards. Bicycle lanes are required as part of circulation and access improvements to the site, and the Specific Plan encourages businesses to provide locker room and shower facilities for employees commuting by bike. The Future Park area is within the OVRP and provides opportunities for trail connections to existing OVRP trails. The Specific Plan notes the requirement for park design to use the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines and the Chula Vista Greenbelt Trail guidelines. Southwest Planning Area – Main Street District: The ORBP Specific Plan is located within the Main Street District, which extends between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805, and functions as a commercial-industrial service area. It interfaces with the Otay Town residential neighborhoods north of Main Street and with the Otay River Valley open space to the south. The Main Street 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 130 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 22 District is the focus of limited industrial uses within western Chula Vista. The General plan notes that the appearance of this heavily traveled thoroughfare has improved over the years due to conformance with design standards that encourage attractive buildings and street frontages. The former mining activities within and adjacent to open space areas have ceased, and the district is envisioned to include a balance between restoration of habitat, new employment and other recreation uses. The City adopted the Main Street Streetscape Plan which includes more specific goals for the Main Street frontage (discussed later in this Specific Plan). The ORBP Specific Plan will continue to implement the intent for attractive buildings, streetscape design for Main Street, and would extend the pedestrian and landscape elements to other streets in the new business park. The uses allowed by the Specific Plan include a range of industrial, office and support retail for new employment, as well as preservation of existing habitat areas onsite, and designation of a potential community park site as indicated by the General Plan Land Use Element. Objective LUT-45 Provide for and enhance a strong business district along Main Street that can be balanced between meeting the community's economic needs and establishing a strong open space connection with the nearby neighborhoods. Policies: LUT 45.2 Explore opportunities to restore sensitive habitat areas between Broadway and Beyer Way where mining activities currently exist, through state mandated mining reclamation plans. As of November 2012, the former mine on the project site was determined to be reclaimed with no outstanding reclamation liabilities, per the California Office of Mine Reclamation. A small amount of sensitive habitat was located on the site in the southwest corner, and is being protected by the Specific Plan which prohibits grading or disturbing the area, and creates a buffer between this area and the development. The Specific Plan also provides for the slope area between the floodway and development pad areas to be revegetated with native species to provide a transitional buffer to the parcel to the south and the Otay River Valley. LUT 45.3 Explore opportunities to provide sensitively designed active recreation parks adjacent to the Otay River Valley to meet local, as well as regional, park needs. The Specific Plan sets aside a portion of the site for future purchase by the City of Chula Vista to create a community park between Fourth Avenue, Faivre Street and the Otay River Valley. LUT 45.6 Maintain Main Street primarily as a limited industrial corridor. The Specific Plan will provide for new business park uses in the Main Street corridor that will accommodate light industrial and office uses, along with supportive commercial uses adjacent to Main Street to serve existing facilities and neighborhoods and provide employment opportunities. The business park uses will generate tax revenue for the City and provide job opportunities for residents. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 131 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 23 LUT 45.11 Allow a maximum floor area ratio of 0.5 and low-rise buildings in Limited Industrial designated areas in the Main Street Corridor. The Specific Plan regulations specify a Floor Area Ratio of 0.5 in Planning Area 1 adjacent to Main Street, as well as Planning Areas 2 and 3. Maximum height allowed by the Specific Plan is limited to 45-feet. LUT 45.13 The appropriate Specific Plans for the Main Street Corridor shall include design guidelines and standards that address urban development adjacent to the Otay Valley Regional Park. The Specific Plan site is within the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) boundary. To avoid possible flooding to the developed areas, the grading design shown on the tentative map included with the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan would elevate the building pad above the Otay River floodway, and creates a slope buffer between the building pads and the floodway planted with native species. The Plan also limits uses in Planning Area 4 along the southern boundary of the Specific Plan to open space uses allowed in the Chula Vista Municipal Code for floodways. The OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines are referenced within the SP to guide certain architectural and site plan development within the SP area, including the future park area. LUT 45.15 Community amenities to be considered for the Main Street District as part of any incentive program should include, but not be limited to those listed in Policy LUT 27.1. The Specific Plan incorporates several of the community benefits and amenities as indicated in Policy LUT 27.1, such as improvements of all streetscapes on existing streets around the site and new streets within the Specific Plan, creating through- block connections by requiring sidewalks and bike lanes to connect public rights-of- way, and pedestrian path improvements with landscaping adjacent to all sidewalks for a more pleasant pedestrian experience. Additional land is being made available for the City to purchase and develop as a community park. Within the developed area of the Specific Plan, lots are large enough to accommodate larger businesses that could provide greater opportunities for employment by residents. 3.2 Economic Development Objective ED-1 Provide a diverse economic base for the City of Chula Vista. Policies: ED 1.4 Increase the supply of land for non-retail employment through the designation of land to accommodate a regional technology park; a future business park; industrial or business park space; and development of a university campus. ED 1.6 Promote economic development that fosters job availability, economic revitalization and tax revenues. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 132 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 24 The Specific Plan establishes land use areas for a new business park with lots in Planning Areas 2 and 3 sized for development to accommodate larger businesses and employment centers, providing opportunities for a wider variety of employment opportunities. The construction of new industrial and business park uses, with street and infrastructure improvements, will help to revitalize the Main Street corridor. Objective ED-3 Retain and grow a mix of economically sustainable small and mid-sized industries and businesses. Policies: ED 3.5 Provide for ancillary commercial development in business parks, such as banks and restaurants, in order to provide amenities for future tenants. ED 3.6 Encourage and facilitate a diversity of the type of small businesses established in proximity to one another so as to avoid redundancy of uses within a single block, commercial mall, or neighborhood, but do not preclude clusters of mutually supportive businesses such, as found in a “restaurant row”. Planning Area 1 consists of smaller parcel sizes with the potential for smaller businesses to serve the needs of nearby residents and businesses. A variety of commercial and retail uses are allowed to provide services that complement the new employment uses as well as the existing community. The mix of uses will help to create a functional business park with both large and small facilities and space for ancillary businesses to operate. 3.3 Public Facilities and Services Element Objective PFS-1 Ensure adequate and reliable water, sewer, and drainage service and facilities. Policies: PFS 1.4 For new development, require on-site detention of storm water flows such that, where practical, existing downstream structures will not be overloaded. Slow runoff and maximize on-site infiltration of runoff. The proposed tentative map includes a bioretention basin to clean and manage storm water runoff created by the backbone infrastructure to be constructed as shown on the tentative map. Management of additional runoff created by construction on individual parcels is required by the Specific Plan to be addressed as part of the parcel development plan. Objective PFS-2 Increase efficiencies in water use, wastewater generation and its re-use, and handling of storm water runoff throughout the City through use of alternative technologies. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 133 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 25 Policies: PFS 2.2 As part of project construction and design, assure that drainage facilities in new development incorporate stormwater runoff and sediment control, including state of-the-art technologies, where appropriate. The proposed drainage system for the tentative map incorporates bioretention basins and storm drains to direct runoff on the developed potion of the site to the existing storm drain outlet, which discharges to the Otay River. Offsite drainage through the site occurs from the area north of the existing alley, and has been accommodated with the proposed storm water design. Additional studies will be required during the development plan/site development phase when parking lots and structures are proposed, but all stormwater runoff and sediment based on the tentative map is included in the stormwater system design. Objective PFS-14 Provide parks and recreation facilities and programs citywide that are well- maintained; safe; accessible to all residents; and that offer opportunities for personal development, health, and fitness, in addition to recreation. Policies: PFS 14.4 Use park dedication; location; site design; and acceptance standards, as provided in the Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Master Plan; the Park Dedication Ordinance; and the Recreation DIF, as may be amended from time to time. A portion of the Specific Area site is set aside and not developed so that it may remain available for the City to purchase to use as a community park in accordance with the 2005 General Plan that indicates a park in the general vicinity of the Specific Plan site. The OVRP also identifies this area as a potential community park with trail connections to the existing OVRP trails. The SP requires that development of this park use OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines. 3.4 Environmental Element Objective E1 Conserve Chula Vista’s sensitive biological resources. Policies: E 1.1 Implement the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan is located within the Chula Vista MSCP, and within the “Central City Preserve Management Area”, but supports no conservation areas or covered projects, according to the biology report associated with the Specific Plan. There is land to the east between the site and Fourth Avenue that is 100% conservation area, with Planning Area 5 Future Park Area situated between developed area and that conservation parcel. There is a small area of sensitive habitat in the southwestern portion and along the southern project boundary of the site that is being preserved with no grading or other disturbing activity. No other sensitive plant species were identified during a survey done for 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 134 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 26 the biology report. One Species of Special Concern, a Yellow Warbler bird, was seen onsite in the future park area. The site is not directly adjacent to Otay River Valley as there is a parcel adjacent to the south within City of San Diego boundaries that is between the Specific Plan area and the Otay River Valley. An additional buffer is created with the proposed Planning Area 4 along the southern boundary that is within the floodway of the Otay River, and where no permanent development will take place as part of the Specific Plan except as allowed in Chula Vista Municipal Code for floodway areas. Objective E-2 Protect and improve water quality within surface water bodies and groundwater resources within and downstream of Chula Vista. Policies: E 2.5 Encourage and facilitate construction and land development techniques that minimize water quality impacts from urban development. The mass grading design of the Tentative Map incorporates a stormwater system with bioretention basin improvements that will filter and clean runoff from the site prior to discharging into the Otay River through an existing outlet. Erosion control to reduce sediment prior to individual lot development will be in place through a system of desiltation basins included in the mass grading plan. Additional stormwater treatment via basins or modular wetland systems may be required on individual lots as part of any Development Plan. Objective E-3 Minimize the impacts of growth and development on water supply resources through the efficient use and conservation of water by residents, businesses, and city government. Policies: E 3.1 Promote state-of-the-art water conservation practices in existing and new development, where proven to be safe and environmentally sound. E 3.2 Promote the use of low water demand landscaping and drought tolerant plant materials in both existing and new development. E 3.3 Where safe and feasible, promote and facilitate the continued use of recycled water in new developments, and explore opportunities for the use of recycled water in redevelopment projects. The landscaping design policies call for the use of primarily drought-tolerant plant materials. Landscape standards for the manufactured slope and the erosion control area, and along the landscaped areas and transition near the OVRP are based on the OVRP Landscape Standards. This includes the use of California natives along the manufactured slopes at the southern boundary, floodway and habitat areas, and the future park landscape at park transition areas. The standards for the street frontage abutting the future park area incorporate the OVRP Landscape Standards. Water conservation efforts by individual businesses are encouraged under Chapter 5.5, Sustainable Design Strategies. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 135 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 27 3.5 Growth Management Element Objective GM-2 Provide adequate and sustainable fiscal base. Policies: GM 2.1 Achieve and maintain a balance of land uses within the City that assures residential development is complemented by expanded local employment opportunities, retail and commercial services, and recreation and entertainment venues; and that the City-wide mix of land uses provides fiscal balance between those that produce revenues and those that require public expenditures. In accordance with the General Plan designation of the site for non-residential uses, the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan contributes to a balance of land uses within the City. The Specific Plan allows for a mix of industrial, light industrial, and commercial uses, with the potential for varying sized spaces, to be attractive to range of businesses that can provide a mix of employment opportunities. It also designates currently undeveloped land as a potential future community park site for recreation purposes in the area. 3.6 General Plan Implementation Objective GPI-2 Provide consistency between the Chula Vista General Plan and subsequent documents, plans, projects, and development. Policies: GPI 2.2 Require findings of consistency with the General Plan for all subdivisions, planning approvals and building permits. Findings of consistency of the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan with the Chula Vista 2005 General Plan have been provided in this chapter. 3.7 Statement of Consistency The guidelines and standards created by the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan are consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan as detailed above. The specific plan includes text and diagrams which specify: (1) the distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan on a parcel-specific basis, and implements the generalized boundaries of the General Plan for industrial uses, open space associated with the Otay River, and a future community park site in the area. (2) The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 136 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 3 – GENERAL PLAN VISION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 28 plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan, including circulation, sewage, water, drainage, and other essential facilities. (3) Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources within the plan boundaries. (4) A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3). 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 137 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 4 – LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 29 CHAPTER 4 - LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS 4.1 Purpose The purpose of these regulations is to establish development standards to regulate land uses and development of property within the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan. This Chapter specifies regulations for land use, site planning, development standards, and intensity of land use in order to: 1) accommodate the implementation of the goals of the 2005 Chula Vista General Plan called for in this Specific Plan; 2) address flood hazard constraints at the property; 3) maintain and enhance community character; and 4) protect sensitive natural resources located in the Plan area or in nearby areas. 4.2 Applicability Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this Chapter shall be applicable to all property within the geographic boundaries of the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan, and are the controlling provisions of this Specific Plan. The development standards contained in this Chapter supplement or replace those found in the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC). Unless specified in this Chapter with a different standard than the existing CVMC, the provisions of the CVMC, including but not limited to compliance with CVMC 19.58 regarding additional requirements per type of use, shall apply. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of this and other Chapters of the CVMC, the provisions of this Chapter shall prevail. Exceptions to, or relief from, the requirements found within this Section are limited to those permitted with the CVMP Chapter 19.14 pertaining to variances. Compliance with the development standards embodied in the Specific Plan will assure consistency with the purposes of the Specific Plan and meet the objectives stated in the Specific Plan. 4.3 Land Use Plan and Map The following areas shown on Exhibit 9 Specific Plan Land Use Map are included as part of the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan: 1.

Gross floor area includes the total enclosed area of all floors of a building measured from the exterior walls including halls, stairways, elevator shafts at each floor level, service and mechanical equipment rooms, balconies, recreation rooms, and attics having a height of more than seven feet 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 147 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 4 – LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 39 but excluding area used exclusively for vehicle parking or loading. For example, a two-story building occupying one-half of a site has an FAR of 1.0. F. Parking Standards Size of Parking Spaces and Drive Aisles Standard parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 19 feet deep, with 24-foot two-way drive aisles or 15-foot one-way drive aisles. Compact parking spaces shall be a minimum of 8 feet wide by 15 feet deep, and may be provided for up to 10 percent of the total spaces required. A minimum of 10- foot high vertical clearance on drive aisles shall be provided for emergency vehicle access. Accessible Spaces All required accessible (disabled) parking spaces shall be constructed in a manner required by the most current edition(s) of the State of California Uniform Building Code (Title 24) as amended. Number of Spaces Required The required number of parking spaces shall be based upon the cumulative total required for uses within the project as specified in CVMC 19.62.050, which may be amended. Refer to the most current parking table adopted by the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission for relevant additional requirements. For any uses not listed, the City may require a parking study to determine the appropriate number of parking spaces. For ease of reference, the current parking requirements for typical uses anticipated within the business park are listed below: LAND USE GENERAL STANDARD (refer to CVMC 19.62.050 for details) Office 1 per 300 square feet Medical/Dental Office 1 per 200 square feet Manufacturing 1 per 800 square feet Wholesale and Warehouse 1 per 1,000 square feet Retail Stores/Financial Institutions 1 per 200 square feet Restaurants 1 per 2.5 fixed seats Drive Through Restaurants 15 spaces minimum plus queue for 5 cars Furniture/Appliance Store 1 per 600 square feet When the calculation of the requirements for parking results in a fractional portion of a parking space, a fraction of one-half or greater shall be construed as one required space, and a remaining fraction of less than one-half shall be disregarded from the calculation of required spaces. Shared Parking Shared parking will be allowed between Planning Areas 1 and 2, and among uses of Planning Areas 2 and 3 that are adjacent to each other in the Specific 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 148 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 4 – LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 40 Plan. If the required number of parking spaces cannot be provided within a particular parcel of the Specific Plan, a shared parking plan may be allowed with the following conditions: 1. Shared parking shall be for uses located exclusively within the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan and must be located within 500 feet of the individual parcel to be served by the shared parking plan. 2. A Shared Parking Analysis is required demonstrating the demand (number of parking spaces needed) for each use that will participate in the Shared Parking Program throughout a typical day. The hour in which the highest number of spaces is needed (peak parking demand) for the proposed development determines the minimum number of required off-street spaces for that proposed use. The shared parking analysis shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Development Services and the City Engineer. 3. Shared parking shall be enforced through a shared parking agreement in a form approved by the City of Chula Vista, and maintained in perpetuity through an agreement between parcel owners. 4. Adequate signage shall be provided for tenants indicating the availability of alternate parking areas. 5. Modification to the buildings or uses within the Specific Plan area are located or changes in tenant occupancy requires review by the Development Services Director. G. Design Review 1. Development in the Otay River Business Park shall be subject to compliance with the applicable standards of review and review processes contained in the CVMC Chapter 19.14, the Chula Vista design review process, and any amendments thereto. 2. In addition to compliance with the design review process, development in the Otay River Business Park shall be in compliance with the Design Guidelines in Chapter 5 of this Specific Plan. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 149 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 41 CHAPTER 5 - DESIGN GUIDELINES 5.1 Purpose and Intent The following guidelines and standards address site planning and design elements applicable to the overall Specific Plan property. 5.2 Site Design Guidelines A. Circulation and Site Access Requirements for site access are provided in this section. Frontage Improvement design guidelines are provided in Landscape Design Guidelines, Section 5.4 (B). 1. A new public Faivre Street south of and parallel to Main Street shall be added to create a connection between Broadway and Fourth Avenue and provide access to individual parcels on the site. 2. Multiple driveways on opposite sides of a street should align directly across from each other when feasible, or with an offset acceptable to the City of Chula Vista engineering staff. 3. Driveway dimensions shall comply with City Standards current at the time a Development Plan is submitted. 4. Site design for buildings/uses requiring large semi-truck access shall provide adequate circulation for truck turning and maneuvering throughout the lot, such that any large truck may enter and exit from the public street, and circulate around any structure needing truck access on any parcel without backing up. Shared/joint access routes between parcels and buildings may be used to provide for such circulation, and any such joint access shall be maintained in perpetuity through an agreement between parcel owners. 5. Transit access is available near the Specific Plan site via routes that have stops at Broadway and Main Street, and at Fourth Avenue and Main Street. No current bus routes are directly adjacent to the Specific Plan site. Should bus routes be modified in the future, the parkway design could accommodate bus stops with benches or waiting areas for riders. Traffic Demand Management (TDM) programs are developed, typically on a regional or large project basis, to reduce vehicle trips, single occupancy vehicles, and air emissions. A TDM program through the City of Chula Vista or the ORBPSP has not been developed, but some TDM program measures have been included in the Tentative Map, and are encouraged through the Specific 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 150 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 42 Plan Sustainable Design Strategies located in Section 5.5 of this Chapter. Examples include:  Bike lanes adjacent to all public roads through and directly adjacent to the Specific Plan where possible,  Encouraging development plans to include bike parking, and changing rooms and showers for bike commuters, in all buildings.  Encouraging electric vehicle charging stations throughout the Specific Plan site.  Providing parkways that can be used for waiting areas should new transit stops be located directly adjacent to the Specific Plan site. Should a TDM program be established city-wide or region-wide, the ORBP will be available to participate, including in programs for paid parking and shuttle service to accommodate nearby transit services. Exhibit 10 Circulation Map B. Parking and Loading 1. All parking shall be provided onsite within the lots of the Specific Plan with no street parking on existing or new public streets. 2. All parking areas shall be screened from view of public streets. Where possible, such screening should be provided by use of a landscaped berm or hedges, at least 3.5 feet high. Alternate screening with masonry walls or fencing may be used and shall not be less than 3.5- feet or more than 6-feet in height, and shall be located beyond the setback. 3. Truck loading areas should be located and designed for minimum visibility from public streets. Placement in front of structures or where highly visible from public streets is discouraged. Where necessary, walls shall be provided to screen truck loading areas from view. Such walls may be extensions of the building walls, wing walls or freestanding walls, and enhanced with landscape planting for aesthetic purposes and to reduce graffiti. The use of screen walls should also be designed to provide noise attenuation if necessary to protect adjacent land uses. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 151 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANCIRCULATION MAPSource:SanGIS 8-15EXHIBIT102018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 152 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 44 5.3 Architectural Design Guidelines A. Architectural Character The Otay River Business Park is situated along Main Street, a primary road servicing a commercial and industrial area of Chula Vista. This Plan provides an opportunity to improve a site, which is largely vacant currently and had been occupied by several heavy industrial operations, and increase economic vitality in the area. The design guidelines in the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan are intended to permit flexibility in the architectural styles of the Specific Plan, while allowing Chula Vista to ensure visual improvement along an important thoroughfare. The Main Street corridor currently does not have a defined architectural style. Therefore, the focus of the architectural character within the SP should be on creating a high-quality development in which design styles of the various land uses of the Specific Plan coordinate to create a unifying and harmonious overall development. The coordinating elements could include building form, color, material, rooflines, and landscaping. The use of standardized corporate architectural styles is acceptable provided the design complies with the Specific Plan guidelines. The business park also abuts the Otay River Valley. The OVRP Standards and Guidelines include requirements to consider compatibility and buffering where appropriate to blend new development with the natural setting and character of the OVRP. Additional design standards and guidelines are provided for structures within the Regional Park focused on recreation centers, comfort stations, and picnic shelters. The architectural theme for the OVRP is “Californio” ranchos of the early 1800’s, a style appropriate for the open space character of the future park. B. Building Massing and Scale 1. Building facades and rooflines shall provide a variety of architectural elements but create harmonious aesthetics between Planning Areas 1 and 2 of the Specific Plan. 2. Heights and wall planes should be staggered to create shadows that break up large expanses of facades. 3. Use varied roof forms, mass, shape, or materials to create variations in building facades. 4. Design buildings that have a street facade which is complementary in scale and massing to its surrounding. 5. Provide a sense of pedestrian scale at the ground level of buildings of Planning Area 1 and Planning Area 2 along Main Street and Fourth 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 153 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 45 Avenue through appropriate use of building materials, and architectural details. 6. Building entries should be readily identifiable using recesses, columns, or other architectural details to emphasize primary entrances. 7. Building elevations facing the southern slope/Otay River Valley should be evaluated for visibility from OVRP trails. If visible, elevations should be articulated to provide interest, per the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines, Section 5.3.3, or screened with vegetation to soften views from OVRP trails. C. Exterior Materials and Finishes 1. Use building materials that are of high quality, durable, require low maintenance, and complement the design of the building. 2. Use a combination of materials, textures, and colors to help articulate the building design to achieve greater variety, visual interest, and richness in the architectural character. Material and finish changes should occur at logical break points. Highly reflective surfaces and large expanses of exposed single-color precision block walls should be avoided. 3. A limited color palette shall be incorporated into the design, with color differentiation used within the overall project to reduce monotony, and avoid repetitiveness within the building facades. Building colors should be appropriate for the architectural style. 4. Accessory structure design shall be compatible with the architecture of the primary structure. D. Roofs and Roof-Mounted Equipment 1. Design roofs (form, style, and pitch) to further enhance and articulate the architectural vocabulary used in the facades and to be compatible with the style and character of each building. 2. Roof materials should be appropriate to the architectural style of the buildings. 3. Rooflines should be accentuated with appropriate projections and overhangs. 4. All roof appurtenances including, but not limited to, air conditioning units and mechanical equipment shall be shielded and architecturally screened from view from surrounding properties and public rights-of- way. Including trails within the OVRP, using full parapets, low parapets plus screening, sloping roofs, or other means of screening that 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 154 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 46 coordinate with the architectural style of the building. Solar panels should be integrated into the roof design. E. Trash Enclosures and Other Screening 1. Trash receptacles, adequate areas for collecting and loading recyclable materials, and storage areas shall be provided within the main structures or in separate free-standing structures. They should be placed at or near the rear of the main structures that they serve and near loading areas or drive aisles when feasible, so long as circulation is not blocked during loading operations. Trash enclosures should be located where possible such that trash trucks can service them without having to reverse out of the service area. 2. All trash enclosures, and utility and mechanical equipment shall be screened per CVMC 19.58.340, and enclosures that could be visible from a public street or walkway shall be further screened with landscaping. 3. Policies of the City of Chula Vista’s Recycling and Solid Waste Planning Manual shall be incorporated in site design and followed by individual businesses with the Specific Plan area. F. Exterior Lighting 1. Exterior lighting shall be provided to illuminate outdoor areas including parking areas, loading areas, pedestrian pathways and building entrances. 2. All exterior lighting should be designed and incorporated into the building schemes to provide illumination appropriate for the level of activity and to avoid glare and spillover. 3. Lighting fixture types, quantities, and locations should be carefully considered to complement the architecture and ensure consistency with the lighting policies of the City of Chula Vista. 4. All fixture illumination shall be directed downward to minimize the spread of the beam, and all lighting standards should be hooded and designed to prevent light spillover. Exterior lights shall be shielded from intrusion into the future park area and to the areas to the south of the business park southern slope (OVRP). 5.4 Landscape Design Guidelines A. Landscape Objectives The landscape design guidelines establish general requirements for the various landscape design components of the Otay River Business Park and are intended 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 155 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 47 to establish a cohesive landscape design theme that contributes to a project identity. They are consistent with current City of Chula Vista Standards, and allow for flexibility in application and execution. The landscape theme uses appropriate native and drought tolerant plant materials that provide a unifying concept that is consistent with the surrounding community. General Guidelines and Requirements include: 1. The Site landscape should use predominantly drought-tolerant plants, native and/or non-native, that require minimal irrigation and maintenance. 2. Landscape species selection and installation near sidewalks, pathways and paved areas, including streets, shall be based on preventing unreasonable damage to paving and pathways. Tree species with invasive root systems should be discouraged and oriented away from utility infrastructure. All street trees and trees planted within 10 feet of buildings or hardscape shall incorporate a root deflection device at the time of installation. 3. Landscaping should create a focus on entrances to parking lots and entrances to buildings to improve wayfinding for visitors, but be designed and maintained to eliminate spaces hidden from public view that could shield criminal activity. 4. Outdoor eating areas for employees and visitors are encouraged to be located where there are views of the future park area or along the southern boundary overlooking the Otay River Valley. 5. All public areas and rights-of-way shall have an automatic irrigation system to maximize irrigation efficiency and eliminate overspray on the adjacent hardscape surfaces. 6. The project landscaping should be compatible with the adjacent river valley to create a visually harmonious environment, with appropriate visual separation between the adjacent future park activity areas and the Business Park. 7. No less than 15% of each individual parcel shall be landscaped. 8. All landscape plans shall comply with CVMC Chapter 20.12 regarding Landscape Water Conservation. 9. Landscaping shall not impede the function of any biofiltration basins. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 156 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 48 B. Frontage Improvements The landscape design for the project is established for the public street rights- of-way by means of the standards listed below and in Chapter 5 of this Specific Plan, and implements provisions of the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. The street frontage along public streets directly adjacent to the Site are of particular importance as they establish the first impression of the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan area and are highly visible to tenants of the business park, the local community, and visitors to Chula Vista. Street frontages on interior streets continue the visual theme throughout the Business Park. Sidewalks are interconnected to each other and to existing streets to improve pedestrian access and experience throughout the Business Park, and the separation of pedestrian and vehicular movement through landscaped parkways increases safety for pedestrians. Main Street 1. Themes and materials for this frontage have been chosen to be consistent with the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. The agricultural economy of Chula Vista led to the incorporation of the City, and continued to be an important part of the Chula Vista economy. The ORBP site is within the section of Main Street identified to have the agriculture/rancho district theme in Section 5.5 of the Streetscape Master Plan reflecting this importance. 2. Vehicular access to Planning Area 1 of the Site will be from Main Street, therefore the landscaping along this street frontage should provide visual interest and way-finding for visitors coming by car or on foot. 3. A non-contiguous sidewalk and 7.25-foot parkway, per the Main Street Streetscape Master plan, along with new curb and gutter shall be provided along the frontage, and suitable landscaping provided in the parkway in compliance with the approved Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. Between the sidewalk and parking areas, shrubs and trees should be incorporated to screen parking and mark driveways using plant materials consistent with the Master Plan to extend the visual character of the streetscape onto the Specific Plan site. 4. The agricultural history of this site, as noted in the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan, should be reflected in a portion of the landscape design, such as through rows of planting to suggest row crops either along Main Street or along Fourth Avenue north of Faivre Street. A plaque or interpretive signage should also be included to recognize the former strawberry fields cultivated on the Site. 5. Landscaping elements shall not impede travel in the bicycle lane. Exhibit 11 Cross Section for Main Street 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 157 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 49 Fourth Avenue 1. A non-contiguous sidewalk and 6-foot parkway with new curb and gutter is required along the frontage from Main Street to the Specific Plan boundary. Landscaping should be located in the parkway to mark driveways and Faivre Street. 2. As addressed in the Main Street section above, the agricultural history of this site should be reflected in a portion of the landscape design along Fourth Avenue north of Faivre Street if not provided on Main Street. A plaque or interpretive signage should also be included to recognize the strawberry fields on the site prior to the Specific Plan. 3. Landscaping elements shall not impede travel in the bicycle lane. Exhibit 12 Cross Section for Fourth Avenue 7th Avenue 1. A non-contiguous sidewalk and 7.5-foot parkway with new curb and gutter shall be provided along both sides from Main Street to Faivre Street, except in the section directly adjacent to the apartment parcel where sidewalk shall be contiguous with curb and gutter due to existing limitations. Suitable landscaping to harmonize with Main Street plantings should be located in the parkway, incorporating shrub and tree (where feasible) plantings to screen parking and mark driveways. 2. Landscaping elements shall not impede travel in the bicycle lane. Exhibit 13 Cross Section for 7th Avenue Faivre Street 1. A non-contiguous sidewalk and 6-foot parkway with new curb and gutter shall be provided along both sides of the street between Broadway and Fourth Avenue. Suitable landscaping to harmonize with Main Street plantings should be located in the parkway, incorporating shrub and tree plantings to screen parking and mark driveways. 2. Landscaping elements shall not impede travel on the bicycle lane. Exhibit 14 Cross Section for Faivre Street Broadway 1. An 8-foot sidewalk contiguous with the curb and gutter is existing along Broadway. No additional parkway space or dedications are required. Future development plans should provide landscaping outside of the right-of-way, located between the sidewalk and parking areas and incorporating plantings to mark entries to the Specific Plan site. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 158 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANCROSS SECTION FOR MAIN STREETSource:The Lightfoot Planning GroupEXHIBIT112018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 159 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANCROSS SECTION FOR FOURTH AVENUESource:The Lightfoot Planning GroupEXHIBIT122018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 160 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANCROSS SECTION FOR 7TH AVENUESource:The Lightfoot Planning GroupEXHIBIT132018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 161 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARKSPECIFIC PLANCROSS SECTION FOR FAIVRE STREETSource:The Lightfoot Planning GroupEXHIBIT142018-03-13 Agenda PacketPage 162 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 54 C. Entries Project entries from the major streets provide an opportunity to identify and mark arrival to the Business Park. The landscaping at the entries will be a component of the design theme for the Business Park, and will set the tone for landscape design on the individual parcels or projects in the Business Park with the following guidelines: 1. Primary and Secondary Entries should be identified by the use of monument signage and a hierarchy of landscape materials. 2. The agricultural history should be reflected in monument design, along with the layout of the planting to resemble row crops that were formerly on the site, at the entries off of Fourth Avenue and/or Main Street. D. Otay River Valley Interface The southern portion of the Specific Plan is located within the floodplain of the Otay River. The planned grading design will raise the development portions of the SP above the 100-year floodplain of the Otay River, resulting in a slope along the southern edge of Planning Areas 2 and 3. The area of the Specific Plan south of the slope is in the floodway, and will be enhanced to create a transition between the developed area and the Otay River Valley. This transition area has been heavily disturbed except for a small area of sensitive biological habitat near the southwest corner of the Specific Plan. These areas will be treated as follows: Southern Boundary Manufactured Slope A slope created near the southern edge of the project boundary raises the project site elevation above the Otay River floodplain. The sloped portion of the lots facing the river will create a transition between the developed site and the Otay River Valley. This will be treated as follows: 1. Appropriate native plant material shall be utilized to enhance the area. The landscape palette for this slope is based on the Otay Valley Regional Park Design Standards and Guidelines, especially Section 4.3 Landscaping in Transition Areas for suggested tree species and Section 4.6 Landscaping Standards for All Sites. 2. A permanent irrigation system shall be provided in this area to allow for maintenance and replanting in the future as needed. 3. If any rip rap is needed, concrete rip-rap that is plain and left in the natural color is discouraged. Any rip-rap should be colored or designed in a way to blend with the native vegetation of the slope. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 163 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 55 4. Maintenance shall be provided in perpetuity by the parcel owner, or successor in interest, a Business Owner’s Association for the Business Park, or other entity. Floodway Below the slope on the southern edge of the project boundary is the Otay River floodway. This is a transitional area to the Otay River Valley and will be treated as follows: 1. Any areas south of the slope that need to be disturbed in construction or remedial grading are to be hydroseeded with native species for erosion control. A temporary irrigation system shall be provided in this area during the native plant establishment period, and removed when planting is established, as required in the Otay Valley Regional Park Design Standards and Guidelines, Section 4.4 Landscaping in Natural Areas. 2. Maintenance of the Floodway Lot shall be provided in perpetuity by the property owner, or successor in interest, a Business Owner’s Association for the Business Park, or other entity. Alternate maintenance arrangements may be provided if agreed to by the City of Chula Vista. Habitat Area A small amount of sensitive habitat is in the southwest corner of the project site. This area will be treated as follows: 1. The habitat area is to be placed in a Biological Open Space Easement. 2. The habitat area shall be protected and preserved, and will not require any supplemental planting unless otherwise determined and directed by conditions placed upon the project by the appropriate resource agencies. E. Bioretention Bioretention basins are located per the tentative map to handle all water runoff created by the Specific Plan area tentative map. Additional basins to control additional runoff created by development of individual parcels may be created in development plans for those parcels. 1. Maintenance shall be provided in perpetuity by the property owner, or successor in interest, a Business Owner’s Association for the Business Park, or other entity. F. Future Park Area A future Community Park site is designated in the vicinity of the Specific Plan area by the Chula Vista General Plan discussion of the Main Street District. This 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 164 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 56 area will be retained in its current condition and designated as a potential future park space available for purchase by the City of Chula Vista. 1. A Wetland Area is located on the southern end of the flood control channel as delineated on the tentative map. Any impact to this area during development of the Community Park shall be mitigated per City, State and Federal agency requirements as described in the Biological Assessment Report. 2. Former retention basins used during mining operations are currently considered Freshwater Marsh and therefore a biological resource. Any permanent impact to these areas during development of the Community Park shall be mitigated per City, State and Federal agency requirements as described in the Biological Assessment Report. Temporary impacts to these areas during any phase of development shall be revegetated with plant species appropriate to the Wetland but will not require additional mitigation. 3. Permanent landscaping is required only along the western edge of this area at the slope abutting the Business Park development, and along the parkway frontage of Faivre Street and Fourth Avenue. These areas shall be native plantings to support the OVRP design standards. 4. Any areas within the future park area adjacent to the slope or the proposed sidewalks that need to be disturbed in construction or remedial grading are to be hydroseeded with native species for erosion control. A temporary irrigation system shall be provided in disturbed areas during the native plant establishment period, and removed when planting is established or further landscaped by the City of Chula Vista in conjunction with park development. 5. Landscape design within the future park area shall refer to the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines, especially Section 4.2 Landscaping in Urban Areas and Section 4.6 Landscaping Standards for All Sites, and the Chula Vista Greenbelt Trail design guidelines. 6. Erosion and silt control is required until the site is purchased and developed by the City. G. Planting Landscape design concepts for the Business Park are established to create a project identity through the creative use and placement of the plant materials in the streetscape and project entry landscape design. The agricultural economy of Chula Vista led to the incorporation of the City, and continued to be an important part of the City’s economy. This importance influenced the agriculture/rancho-themed portion of the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan. The proposed street trees incorporate some of the tree suggestions of this Plan in the landscape, along with other coordinated plantings. They are a mixture of 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 165 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 57 evergreen and deciduous trees that provide interest by the way of form, texture and color. The ground plane provides color and interest for pedestrians, and can be arranged in a way to suggest the former row crops that existed on a portion of the Specific Plan site. Landscape design concepts adjacent to the Future Park area have been established to implement the Design and Development Standards of the Otay Valley Regional Park. Street trees and corresponding planting selections adjacent to this lot rely on native species to emphasize the connection of this lot to the Otay River Valley. The plant palette has been selected based on drought tolerance and suitability for the local climate, and excludes listed invasive species. Refer to Plant Palette for specific species recommended.

Trails Trails in the vicinity of the ORBP include existing and planned trails within the Otay Valley Regional Park. There is an existing OVRP trail segment into the Regional Park within the southwest corner of the Specific Plan at Broadway. The Business Park design provides transitional vegetation and buffers between the development lots and the Otay River, which are not suitable for additional trail connectivity. The Specific Plan does not provide for any new trails from the Business Park development lots, rather, all trail access will be directed to approved trail locations as encouraged by the OVRP Concept Plan. The Business Park development will provide pedestrian and bicycle circulation along street frontages that will allow for connectivity to this approved trail, providing opportunities for people in the Business Park to readily access the regional park for recreation. The Future Community Park is anticipated to incorporate trail connections into the OVRP for additional linkages in the area. Specific design and configuration of such trail connections would be addressed as part of the future park planning process, and should follow the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines for the design of trails in this area. 5.5 Sustainable Design Strategies  All new structures shall adhere to minimum Tier 1 standards of the CAL Green Code, the State of California Building Code Standards (Title 24).  Drought-tolerant landscape and low water use irrigation fixtures are required to reduce dependency on potable water.  Promote water conservation efforts for the Specific Plan area and individual businesses.  Promote the use of renewable energy by encouraging photovoltaic (solar) panels.  Encourage all buildings to take advantage of natural ventilation and natural day lighting.  Encourage building materials to be of recycled content or rapidly renewable, and locally-sourced.  Promote the use of alternative forms of mobility not dependent on fossil fuels, including the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in parking areas, the provisions of bicycle racks near building entries, changing rooms and showers for bicycle commuters, and the accommodation of scooter and motorcycle parking. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 174 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 66 CHAPTER 6 - INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES The Chula Vista General Plan’s Growth Management Element establishes the policy basis for growth management provisions, and the Public Facilities and Services Element establishes the city’s plan to provide and maintain infrastructure and public services for future growth, without diminishing services to existing development. The City of Chula Vista adopted a Growth Management Ordinance in 1991, last updated in 2014, (Chapter 19.09 of the CVMC) to address public services and ensure that development occurs where facilities already exist or that facilities are provided during the development, with standards to ensure that the City can maintain a standard for quality of life issues for residents of Chula Vista. One of the key provisions relative to the western Chula Vista area is to promote revitalization and redevelopment of older portions of the city, and this Otay River Business Park Specific Plan (ORBPSP) will implement those goals. Facility Master Plans / Development Impact Fees (DIF) The City of Chula Vista utilizes facility master plans to plan for future adequacy of public facilities and services at build-out of the City. They contain assumptions regarding existing and projected land uses and development projections, and identify specific facilities that will serve the build-out of future development, along with phasing and cost estimates. Development Impact Fees and other associated funding programs are established based on the needs identified in the master plans. To ensure that capital facilities will be constructed for the benefit of new development, Development Impact Fees (DIF) are to be paid for each development project within the city. DIFs are one-time charges that fund capital construction of additional sewer systems, roads, libraries, parks and recreation facilities, etc. made necessary by the presence of new residents and uses. Costs are apportioned to individual units of remaining development by type (residential, commercial, industrial) and are regularly reviewed for potential updates considering changing land uses, costs and/or other circumstances. Public Facility Financing Plans (PFFPs) Section 19.09.080 of the CVMC discusses the requirement for the creation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP). The ORBPSP area is in western Chula Vista, outside of the PC Zone. In this area, the Chula Vista regulatory framework has been established to encourage and manage desirable development and redevelopment, given the unique development challenges faced in this area. Growth management considerations for smaller projects outside of the PC zone are addressed through the CEQA process, which may result in mitigation measures; through conditions of approval, which may require improvements or dedications; and through payment of Development Impact Fees. This chapter of the Specific Plan is intended to function as an equivalent to a PFFP for the future development in accordance with the ORBP Specific Plan and Tentative Map. Financing mechanisms discussed in Section 6.3 below show that the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan will be responsible for dedications and improvements to facilities that could be affected by the development of a business park on this site. This Specific Plan section identifies the financial responsibility, and financing method for each public facility, and includes a summary of phasing to ensure threshold compliance during project construction. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 175 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 67 Development within the ORBP will also pay DIF fees to account for the incremental effect of new development in accordance with the Facility Master Plans. Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) The industrial and commercial uses within the ORBP will fund and construct for infrastructure needed for those uses and will pay Development Impact Fees to cover incremental costs associated with the new development of this area. As a non-residential project generating jobs, increased property tax and sales tax revenues, the City (through the Development Services Director) has determined that the project will have a positive fiscal impact, and a separate Fiscal Impact Analysis is not required for this Specific Plan. 6.1 Public Facilities and Services Each of the facilities and improvements necessary for development of the ORBP is discussed in this section. Specific location and design for these improvements are shown on the Tentative Map, to implement these Specific Plan requirements. A. Circulation and Access Development of the ORBP will include construction of new streets and improvement of existing frontage streets adjacent to the Specific Plan area, to provide adequate circulation for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. A description of these improvements by street is provided below to outline the circulation and access requirements of the Specific Plan. Details of these improvements will be shown on the Tentative Map, and implemented in accordance with the phasing discussed in Section 6.2. All circulation and access improvements shall be constructed as part of the implementation of the Tentative Map when approved with this Specific Plan. Main Street adjacent to the Site on the northern boundary of the Specific Plan is the primary vehicle access to the area from Interstates 5 and 805. The City of Chula Vista has adopted the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan (MSSMP) for this segment. This is a framework plan for a “Complete Street” - a balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users regardless of their mode (via walking, biking, and transit, or driving cars or trucks). The plan outlines improved bike and pedestrian connections along Main Street, promotes water conservation by incorporating green street design elements such as curb extensions, medians with drought tolerant vegetation, and shade trees, and establishes a street theme and identity for specific segments of the street. This Specific Plan requires improvements consistent with the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan (http://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/development-services/planning) and improvements to be implemented in conjunction with development of the ORBP are outlined below. 1. An 8.5-foot dedication along the project boundary (south side of Main Street) shall be made to the City of Chula Vista, with a new median and 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 176 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 68 restriping provided as shown on exhibit 11 to accommodate specified lane widths and medians in the MSSMP. 2.

The nearest fire department to the Specific Plan site is Fire Department Station No. 5 at 391 Oxford Street less than 2 miles away, with Stations No. 9 (266 E. Oneida Street) and No. 3 (1410 Brandywine Avenue), each located approximately 3 miles away. Development in accordance with the Specific Plan will provide a new public road (Faivre Street extension) parallel to and south of Main Street, between Broadway and Fourth Avenue, along with additional intersection and street frontage improvements that will improve circulation and access for police, fire and emergency response within the development area. As the site develops, the new industrial and commercial uses would add employees, customers and visitors to the site. This could result in an incremental increase in demand for police, fire and emergency services as associated with any new development. H. Schools The City of Chula Vista is served by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District. Since no residences are included as part of the Specific Plan, there is no potential for affecting the demand for school facilities within Chula Vista. I. Libraries Library services are provided by the City of Chula Vista. No residences are added as part of the Specific Plan that would increase population to affect the public library system of Chula Vista. J. Parks and Recreation The project site is not subject to the Growth Management Oversight Commission parks and recreation threshold as it is located on the west side of I- 805. However, the General Plan and the OVRP Concept Plan, which the property is within, identify a potential future park site within the vicinity of the subject property. The Specific Plan land uses designate approximately 13.9 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 184 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 76 acres as undeveloped land available for purchase by the City of Chula Vista for use as a community park. 6.2 Construction Sequence The initial phase of construction shall be the mass grading and backbone infrastructure for the entire business park. This will include:  Wet and dry utility installation, including water, sewer storm drain, gas, electric, telephone and cable services  Street improvements including pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk and parkway landscaping, with traffic signal installation  Bioretention basins per the mass grading plan  Landscaping of perimeter slopes  Erosion control on the future development lots and future Community Park site These improvements will allow for flexibility in the sequencing of development on individual parcels. Structure construction will be determined by future proposed development plans and building square footages have not been determined for this Specific Plan. 6.3 Financing Mechanisms A. Improvement Financing Several types of financing strategies and tools are available for financing development and necessary infrastructure improvements. Since this Specific Plan area is located at an infill location, no major offsite improvements are necessary at this time, and limited financing mechanisms are needed. For development within this Specific Plan area, funding for on-site facilities shall be provided directly by the project. This includes improvements within or across adjacent public rights-of way provided concurrent with the project development, such as local street improvements, utility connections from the main trunk lines, and drainage facilities. The construction of all public street right-of-way (ROW) and utility improvements, private onsite improvements including buildings, parking areas, landscape and hardscape, and amenities serving the project will be the responsibility of the developer/property owner. These improvements will be privately financed. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 185 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 77 The Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (PFDIF) dated October 2017 have been used to estimate fees and are subject to change as fees are amended by the City of Chula Vista. Fees based on acreage of proposed land use have been calculated per Specific Plan designations, estimated at 2.9 acres designated commercial (PA-1) and 28.3 acres designated industrial (PA-2 and PA-3). Fees based on building square footages will be calculated when development plans are submitted, as no structures are proposed with this Specific Plan and tentative map. A description of fees for each facility is discussed below, and summarized in Table #1. All fees are subject to change and annual increases and will need verification. Current fees can be determined through the City of Chula Vista (http://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/finance/master-fee- schedule). Police The current Police PFDIF are $8,587/acre for Commercial use and $1,851/acre for Industrial use, due at the time of issuance of building permits. Fire and Emergency Services The current Fire and EMS PFDIF are $4,014/acre for Commercial use and $799/acre for Industrial use due upon issuance of building permits. Schools California Government Code Section 65995 et. seq. and Education Code Section 17620 et. seq. authorize school districts to impose facility mitigation exactions on new development as a way to address increasing enrollment caused by that development. For non-residential development the statutory fee rates as of September 2017 are $0.25 in the Chula Vista Elementary School District and $0.31 in the Sweetwater Union High School District for a combined total of $0.56 per square foot. Prior to the issuance of each building permit, the applicant(s) shall pay the School Facility Mitigation Fees in accordance with the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance, which may be different than those listed above. Libraries Financing for the library system is provided by PFDIF fees which are assessed only for residential units. No impact fees are required for commercial or industrial developments, so no funding would be associated with the Specific Plan uses. Parks and Recreation Park acquisition and development fees are assessed only for residential units. The Specific Plan includes commercial and industrial uses west of I-805 and is not subject to fees for parks and recreation. Water Fees may be collected by the Sweetwater Authority for connection to existing lines, installation of water meters, and installation of fire protection system 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 186 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 78 connection. Fees will be determined upon approval of development plans for the Specific Plan parcels. Sewer Final determination of sewer fees will be calculated at final map, and include but are not limited to the following: Administrative fees $220.00 per Sewer Connection Permit for commercial and industrial Sewerage Participation Fee $3,584 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit Tap into main, 4" lateral $600.00 without City lateral Tap into main, 6" lateral $760.00 without City lateral Connection Fee $16.00 per foot of property frontage Drainage All onsite storm water conveyance will be constructed by the developer of the Otay River Business Park. Basins and storm drains to control both the quantity and quality of runoff from the site will be constructed in conjunction with all mass grading activity. Additional requirements for storm water treatment will be designed and built in conjunction with structure design and construction associated with each additional phase. All storm drains within the commercial and industrial areas of the Specific Plan will be maintained by a Business Owner’s Association created for and funded by all businesses located within the Specific Plan. Stormwater facilities associated with the future community park would be designed, installed and maintained by the City in conjunction with other park facilities. Traffic Traffic Signal fees are collected to fund identified signals city-wide at key intersections, and are based on trip generation at $38.75 per driveway (total) trips. This fee has been calculated based on Average Daily Trips (ADT) estimated in the Traffic Impact Analysis. Driveway rates (7908 ADT) are based on general land uses of the SP and should be confirmed upon submittal of development plans. The traffic signal at the intersection of Main Street and 7th Avenue recommended by the Main Street Streetscape Master Plan shall be constructed by the developer, and is eligible for fee credits against the Signal fees. Two traffic signals that are project-specific and necessary for the Specific Plan shall be funded by the developer of the Specific Plan. These are located at the intersections of Broadway and Faivre Street and at Fourth Avenue and Faivre Street. The ORBPSP site is located west of Interstate 805 in the Western Territory of Chula Vista, and therefore subject to Western Territory Development Impact 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 187 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 6 – INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 79 Fee of $68,160/acre for Retail Commercial (specialty retail/strip commercial), and $38,340/acre for Industrial Park (office/industrial uses clustered into a center, primary is industrial but may include high percentage of other services or retail).

Maintenance Financing The recurring maintenance costs for infrastructure and improvements will be provided as follows: Roadways Maintenance of vehicular travel ways, curbs, gutters and concrete sidewalks within the public rights-of-way will be provided by the City of Chula Vista and funded by the City’s tax revenue. Private driveways within the Specific Plan area and alleys adjacent to the Specific Plan area, which are not maintained by the City of Chula Vista, will be maintained by the property owners or Business Owners’ Association (BOA). Utility Infrastructure Maintenance of public utilities and facilities except as noted will be the responsibility of the City of Chula Vista (storm drains). Sweetwater Authority maintains water lines. Sewer laterals are maintained privately to the centerline by property owners or a BOA created for the Specific Plan area. Public service utilities contracted to private companies, such as solid waste disposal, will be maintained by the owner of the property. Private utilities, such as electric, gas, telephone, cable television and internet service will be maintained by the respective individual private utility company. Landscaping Maintenance of all landscape and hardscape on the project site and in the public rights-of-way, including bioretention basins, Main Street median installed by project, frontage improvements including sidewalks and parkways, walls, and connections to the public sidewalk from the project site, will be the responsibility of the property owners or BOA to be created for the Specific Plan area. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 189 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 7 – CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 81 CHAPTER 7 - PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION 7.1 Introduction This chapter describes the authority of a Specific Plan, the process that will be used to consider development applications and the administrative procedures required for amendments and/or modifications to the Plan. A Specific Plan is a regulatory tool that local governments use to implement their General Plan and to guide development in a localized area. While the General Plan is the primary guide for growth and development throughout a community, a Specific Plan is able to focus on the unique characteristics of a specialized area by customizing the vision, land uses and development standards for that area. This Specific Plan has been prepared and adopted pursuant to Section 65450 et. seq. of the California Government Code. 7.2 Specific Plan Adoption The Otay River Business Park Specific Plan shall not be effective unless and until it is adopted by an Ordinance of the City Council. Upon adoption, the Specific Plan implements the adopted General Plan by establishing the land uses, development regulations and design guidelines for the Specific Plan area. 7.3 Specific Plan Administration and Development Review Development projects within the Specific Plan area shall be subject to a design review process to ensure consistency with the Specific Plan, except as provided below. The Design Review Process is outlined in Chapter 19.14 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. All developments within the Specific Plan area require submittal and approval of a Design Review Permit. To be approved, a development project must:  Comply with the permitted uses and development criteria contained in Chapter 4 - Development Regulations of this Specific Plan, and other applicable regulations contained in the CVMC; and  Be found to be consistent with the design requirements and recommendations contained in Chapter 5 - Design Guidelines of this Specific Plan and Section 5 of the OVRP Design Guidelines for Private Development.  Within the Future Park area, development shall comply with the OVRP Design Standards and Guidelines, Section 1-6. The design review permit will include all conditions of approval ranging from design, environmental mitigation measures, public improvements, and others as may be determined upon review of the specific development project. The design review process will ensure an enhanced level of review for major projects, while minimizing 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 190 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 7 – CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 82 processing for minor projects, as defined by CVMC Section 19.14.582(g), as may be amended from time to time. In addition, proposed developments would also be required to adhere to existing CVMC regulations and processes for other discretionary review, such as those for conditional use permits, variances, and subdivisions, as may be applicable. (See 2.55, 19.14, and 19.54, as may be amended from time to time). The provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relative to other discretionary permits or actions (e.g. Tentative Map, Conditional Use Permits) shall be applied as required based on individual development projects. Permitted land uses within the Specific Plan Area are identified in the Land Use Matrix in Chapter 4. The Development Services Director or his/her designee may determine in writing that a proposed use is similar and compatible to a listed use and may be allowed upon making one or more of the following findings:  The characteristics of and activities associated with the proposed use is similar to one or more of the allowed uses and will not involve substantially greater intensity than the uses listed;  The proposed use will be consistent with the purpose and vision of the applicable area;  The proposed use will be otherwise consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan;  The proposed use will be compatible with the other uses listed. The Development Services Director or his/her designee may refer the question of whether a proposed use is allowable directly to the Planning Commission for a determination at a public hearing. A determination of the Development Services Director or his/her designee, or Planning Commission may be appealed in compliance with the procedure set forth in the CVMC. 7.4 Existing/Nonconforming Uses Existing uses that are not listed in the allowable land uses table or determined to be permitted pursuant to the findings and procedure above are, upon adoption of this Otay River Business Park Specific Plan, considered to be nonconforming uses. Such uses shall not be allowed to continue in operation, and shall be abated no later than six months from the date the Specific Plan becomes effective. 7.5 Exemptions Exemptions to Specific Plan requirements include minor modifications to existing structures such as painting, maintenance or repair, re-roof, modifications that increase the total building area by 200 square feet or less (within a 2-year period) as well as other exceptions and modifications described in CVMC 19.16, as may be amended from time to time. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 191 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 7 – CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 83 7.6 Site Specific Variance Standards contained within the Specific Plan are mandatory requirements that must be satisfied for all new projects and building renovations except where the CVMC Variance regulations (Chapter 19.14.140 - 19.14.270, as may be amended from time to time) provide for a variation from the strict application of the regulations of a particular area. 7.7 Development Exceptions The land use and development regulations encourage the siting of a variety of land uses in an urban environment that is both pedestrian and environmentally sensitive. To further achieve this goal and promote innovative design, it may be necessary to be flexible in the application of certain development standards. As such, development exceptions may be authorized by the decision making body for the project if all of the following findings are made: 1. The proposed development will not adversely affect the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan and General Plan. 2. The proposed development will comply with all other regulations of the Specific Plan. 3. The exception or exceptions are appropriate for this location and will result in a better design or greater public benefit than could be achieved through strict conformance with the Specific Plan development regulations. Consideration of a development standard exception shall be concurrent with the review of the Design Review or other permit, as may be required pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Chapter. 7.8 Specific Plan Interpretations In instances where any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, or word contained within this Specific Plan is undefined, unclear or vague, then the Development Services Director shall make a determination as to its meaning and intent. The Development Services Director or his/her designee may elect to forward interpretations to the Planning Commission for final determination at his/her discretion. Corrections of typographical or administrative errors found in the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan document shall not require an Amendment to the Specific Plan. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 192 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 7 – CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 84 7.9 Specific Plan Amendment This document attempts to be comprehensive, but it is understood that not all things can be envisioned, and there may be situations where modifications in the Specific Plan may be necessary. The policies presented in the Specific Plan contain some degree of flexibility, but any Specific Plan amendments must be judged by relatively fixed criteria. The California Government Code (§ 65453) states that a Specific Plan “may be amended as often as deemed necessary by the legislative body.” Amendments to this Plan may be initiated by a developer, any individual property owner, or by the City, in accordance with any terms and conditions imposed during the original approval or in accordance with any terms and conditions pertaining to Chula Vista Municipal Code. The Development Services Director or his/her designee is responsible for making the determination of whether an amendment to the Specific Plan text or maps is needed. The applicant shall be required to submit a completed application with graphics, statements, or other information as may be required to support the proposed amendment. Amendment procedures are described below.  Proposals to amend the Specific Plan must be accompanied by detailed information to document the change required. This information should include revised Specific Plan text (or excerpt thereof) and revised land use diagram or map amendment, where relevant, depicting the amendment requested.  Preparation and review of the Specific Plan has been based on comprehensive analysis and best available information at the time of adoption. Any proposals to amend the Specific Plan must therefore document the need for such changes. The City and/or applicant should indicate the economic, social, or technical issues that generate the need to amend the Specific Plan. Costs incurred for the amendments shall be the responsibility of the party requesting the amendment.  The City and/or applicant must provide an analysis of the amendment’s impacts relative to the adopted environmental review document. Depending on the nature of the amendment, supplemental environmental analysis may be necessary. The need for such additional analysis shall be determined by the City of Chula Vista in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines § 15162). A. Major and Minor Amendments The Development Services Director or his/her designee shall within 10 days of any submittal of a request to amend this Plan, determine whether the amendment is “minor” (administrative) or “major”. Major amendments (described below) require an advisory recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. If the amendment is determined to be minor, the Development Services Director, or his/her designee, may approve or deny the application. Minor amendments must be determined by 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 193 OTAY RIVER BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER 7 – CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 85 the Development Services Director to be in substantial conformance with the provisions of the Specific Plan and do not include any changes described below for major amendments. Any decision of the Development Services Director, or his/her designee, may be appealed to the City Council, provided said appeal is initiated within 10 working days of receipt by the applicant of written notice of the decision of the Development Services Director, or his/her designee. Examples of “major” amendments include: 1. The introduction of a new land use designation not contemplated in the Specific Plan, as may be amended from time to time. 2. Changes in the designation of land uses affecting two acres or more from that shown in the Specific Plan, as may be amended from time to time. 3.

A. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A REVISED CITYWIDE RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE ORIGINALLY ADOPTED PURSUANT TO PREVIOUS RESOLUTION NO. 17577 B. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RESCINDING SUBSECTION 2.25.230(C) OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE RECORD RETENTION POLICY FOR AUDIO RECORDINGS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSION MEETINGS (FIRST READING) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution and place the ordinance on first reading. SUMMARY Adoption of the resolution would implement a revised Citywide Records Retention Schedule (Retention Schedule) to improve and update the existing Records Management Program. Adoption of the ordinance would modify the Municipal Code to remove reference to the retention policy for audio recordings of Board and Commission meetings in the Municipal Code, as the retention policy of those records has been consolidated with and accounted for in the revised Retention Schedule. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Environmental Determination The Director of Development Services 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 because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable DISCUSSION Background One of the primary purposes for records management is to ensure that information is available when it is needed. To do this efficiently and thoroughly, records must be identified, organized, maintained City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 208 File#:18-0064, Item#: 3. it is needed. To do this efficiently and thoroughly, records must be identified, organized, maintained for the requisite number of years, and then archived for permanent retention or documented when destroyed. Records management encompasses all the record-keeping requirements that allow an organization to establish and maintain control over information flow and administrative operations, seeking to control and manage records through the entirety of their lifecycle, from creation to final disposition. Benefits of a sound records management program include improving customer service, increasing staff efficiency, allocating scarce resources, and providing a legal foundation for how an agency manages its information. A records management program is comprised of policies and procedures that govern the maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposition of all city records, based on federal and state statutes governing public records. Chula Vista’s Citywide Records Management Program Chula Vista’s Citywide Records Management Program (Records Management Program) was established in 1994. An update to the program is necessitated by changes in records-related statutes, changes in the types of records maintained by the City, evolving technology, and the need to reduce current and future records storage costs, eliminate duplication of effort, increase efficiency and take advantage of current technology. Step 1: Updated Records Retention Schedule Updating the Retention Schedule is the first step in a staged implementation of a fully updated Records Management Program. The Retention Schedule applies efficient and economical methods to the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation and disposal of all records. It provides the length of time records must be retained based on statute or the preference of the City, whichever is longer. When approved, the Retention Schedule becomes the legal authority for the agency to dispose of official public records when they reach the end of their useful life. Destruction of records that are no longer relevant or legally required is necessary because records retained beyond their value add to additional costs and logistics of storage and could extend the City’s legal liability in the event of adverse litigation. Government Code Section 34090 allows for the destruction of many City records that meet certain requirements. However, not all records fall within the ambit of section 34090. Records not authorized for destruction by this code section include: ·Records affecting the title to real property of liens thereon; ·Court records; ·Records required to be kept by statute; ·Records less than two years old; and ·The minutes, ordinances or resolutions of the legislative body or of a city board or commission. With input from all City departments, City Clerk staff has been working over the last two years to update the Retention Schedule. An appraisal of the legal, administrative, fiscal and historical value of the records was performed. Along with legal requirements, the recommendations in the Retention Schedule have been developed based on retention guidelines used by state archival agencies, other City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 209 File#:18-0064, Item#: 3. Schedule have been developed based on retention guidelines used by state archival agencies, other municipalities and professional organizations, and input from City staff. The Retention Schedule identifies those records of both permanent and short-term value and provides for their orderly preservation and disposition. The Retention Schedule also ensures the permanent retention of those City records with archival/historical value. The proposed Retention Schedule provides clear, specific records description and retention periods and applies current law to the management of the all City records. It provides a level of protection so that no record is destroyed prematurely and that valuable and vital records are maintained in compliance with legal requirements and standard organizational practices. The updated Retention Schedule is organized such that: - Records are sorted into major categories, which are each assigned a series number, enabling staff to implement more efficient filing systems - Clear retention periods are established for each category - Departments responsible for maintaining an original record are identified, which enables staff to dispose of redundant copies and reduce inventory in offsite records storage facilities Staff anticipates that the City will eventually realize significant savings in labor costs, storage costs, filing cabinet and office space, and operational efficiencies. Currently, the retention of audio recordings of board and commission meetings is provided for in Chula Vista Municipal Code subsection 2.25.230(C), which calls for recordings to be erased after the minutes of the meeting have been approved or, in the case of a public hearing, after one year. The updated records retention schedule provides for the retention of these recordings and is proposed for an increased retention of two years. Adoption of the proposed ordinance will remove the retention provisions for these audio recordings from the Municipal Code, as they have been consolidated in the proposed Retention Schedule. City Clerk staff continues to work on the additional components of the Records Management program which will include: ·Complete description of the functional filing system ·An alphabetical cross reference ·Guidelines, policies and procedures: o Creation of new files, including naming conventions to standardize file names o Preservation and destruction of records, which will include a schedule for the disposition of obsolete records on a continuous basis o Transferring and retrieving inactive/off-site records o Email and other electronic records o Ongoing Maintenance of the Retention Schedule o Citywide Staff Training Additional components of the Records Management Program will be implemented by staff and/or presented to City Council for approval as necessary. City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 210 File#:18-0064, Item#: 3. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site- specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any Chula Vista City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Adoption of this item supports the City’s goal of Operational Excellence as it provides improved delivery of service and reduced staff time on manual procedures in that records will be destroyed and/or maintained in a more efficient manner. Government transparency is improved in that records are available in the right place at the right time. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The current year fiscal impact is anticipated to consist of staff time for implementation and training on the updated Retention Schedule, which is included in the current year’s budget. Staff does not anticipate that additional funds will be required. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT While there may initially be an increase for storage and disposition of off-site records due to additional costs related to transportation of records for evaluation and shredding costs, staff anticipates the City will ultimately realize a cost savings for off-site records storage.

CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTING THE REPORT REGARDING 2018/2019 FUNDING REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAMS (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS ACT, AND EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council conduct the public hearing and accept the report. SUMMARY The City has received and reviewed funding applications for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant programs including: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. This Public Hearing will provide the community an opportunity to provide input on the proposed 2018/2019 funding recommendations for the City’s use of these federal grant programs. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice CEQA: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.

Environmental Determination The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposal consists of a reporting action, is not for a site specific project(s) and will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environmental.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 1 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 329 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. Not applicable. DISCUSSION As an entitlement community with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City receives funds under three block grant programs: • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) • Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) The grant amounts allocated to each jurisdiction are determined using a formula based on statistical and demographic data. The purpose of these funds is to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities principally for low and moderate-income persons. As a recipient of these HUD funds, the City is required to adopt a five-year planning document, entitled the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) which describes the City's five-year strategy for use of these funds on specific goals and objectives related to its housing and community development priorities. The City annually selects activities for funding that best meet the needs of the community as identified within the ConPlan, while meeting the national objectives and requirements of the grant funds. The selected activities are then incorporated into a one-year planning document, known as the Annual Action Plan. The Action Plan constitutes the City’s formal funding application to HUD for the corresponding grant year. The City’s 2015/2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan identifies a total of five priorities under Housing and Community Development for funding consideration. City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 2 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 330 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. 2018/2019 Annual Action Plan Resources As of the date of this report, HUD has not provided the City’s allocation amounts for 2018/19 since Congress has not yet completed the appropriations process. HUD has instructed cities to continue their normal annual planning process and to submit the Action Plan once the 2018/19 allocations have been announced. For the purposes of this report and preparation of the Action Plan, staff will be assuming a ten percent (10%) reduction from prior year funding for the CDBG and HOME grant programs. In the event that the City receives a higher allocation of CDBG, the excess funds will be allocated to the Anita Capital Improvement Project (see Attachment 3, Tab 17). Similarly, any additional funding received for the HOME program, will be allocated towards the production of affordable housing project. In addition to its annual entitlement amount, the City will also allocate prior year unencumbered CDBG and HOME funds. These funds typically become available as projects are completed under budget, loans are repaid or other program income is generated. For 2018/2019, the following are the anticipated funding amounts available: Program Current Year Entitlement Prior Year Unencumbered Funds Total Available Community Development Block Grant $1,797,160 $ 85,729 $1,882,889 Home Investment Partnerships Act $ 573,026 $ 177,521 $ 750,547 Emergency Solutions Grant $ 172,909 $ 0 $ 172,909 Total $2,543,095 $263,250 $2,806,345 Funding Requests As part of the annual Action Plan process, the City releases a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the three grant programs. The NOFA was released in January 2018, with a submittal deadline of February 16, 2018. Housing staff has reviewed all proposals to ensure compliance with the prescribed regulations and consistency with the City’s goals and objectives. Copies of all the applications received for each of the grant programs are included with this report as Attachment No. 3 (2018/2019 Federal Grant Funding Application Notebook). An executive summary was prepared for each request summarizing the funding application; including, funding level; proposed use of funds; and, benefit to the community. The federal grant funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME and ESG are presented individually below: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The City will utilize a total of $1,882,889 of CDBG funds for FY 2018/2019. As stated in the table City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 3 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 331 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. The City will utilize a total of $1,882,889 of CDBG funds for FY 2018/2019. As stated in the table above, this includes the annual entitlement along with any unencumbered prior year funds. All projects considered for funding must address at least one of the three CDBG National Objectives: • Benefit primarily low and moderate income families; • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or, • Meet community needs due to a major emergency such as a natural disaster. Projects are then classified into three distinct categories: 1. Public Services; 2. Capital Improvement Projects and Community Development; and, 3. Administration and Planning; Below is a summary of the funding recommendations under each respective category. For a complete list of the individual funding requests and recommendations, refer to Attachment No. 2 (Funding Requests and Recommendations). 1.Public Services Program Recommendation: Funds for Public Services activities are awarded to local agencies and community organizations to implement projects and programs that improve the lives of low income residents which include elderly, disabled, at-risk, and homeless. The amount of funds the City may allocate to public services is limited to fifteen percent (15%) of the annual entitlement. For 2018/19, equates to a cap of $269,574. . Staff’s funding recommendations for public service activities are based on funding priorities established in the ConPlan, along with established ranking criteria consisting of a 3-tier approach which categorizes the programs based on community need. ·Tier I: Emergency Needs: Programs that address basic, fundamental needs including shelter, food, and other commodities. ·Tier II: Special Needs/Disabled: Programs that provide services to persons with disabilities, special needs, and are at high-risk. ·Tier III: Other General Services: All other services which do not fall within Tier I or II and provide general public services to low/moderate income persons. A total of twelve (12) public services applications were received. All applicants are prior year grant recipients and are in good standing with the City and HUD. 2.Administration/Planning Recommendations: Funds under this category cover all City staff costs associated with the management and administration of Chula Vista's CDBG program including regulatory compliance, contract administration, subrecipient monitoring and fiscal management. This also includes preparation of the required planning documents, such as the Annual Action Plan, the Consolidated Plan, and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Federal regulations governing the CDBG program limit the amount that the City spends on administration/planning activities to 20% of the City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 4 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 332 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. program limit the amount that the City spends on administration/planning activities to 20% of the grant funds used in the program year. For 2018/19, funds totaling $359,432 are recommended for administration and planning activities, which include Fair Housing Services. 3.Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and Community Development: After the Public Services and Administration activities are funded, a total of $1,253,884 remains for eligible capital improvement projects, public facility improvements, and other housing/community development related activities. Under this category, the City has earmarked $763,126 for the debt service payment on the Section 108 loan utilized for the Castle Park Infrastructure Improvement Program. This leaves a balance of $490,370 for new are available for new projects. To be considered eligible for funding within the CIP category, the project must be located in a primarily residential area designated as low/moderate income by the U.S. Census and cannot be regional in nature (serving the entire City or county region). Priority is given to those projects with the most effectiveness and the greatest feasibility by demonstrating leveraging of additional funding sources; benefit and impact to the community; and relevance to the City of Chula Vista’s Critical Needs List and/or Pedestrian Master Plan. A total of four applications are presented under this category: the City’s Section 108 Loan payment; two street/sidewalk CIPs; and, one neighborhood park improvement project. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Chula Vista is estimating that it will receive approximately $172,909 in ESG entitlement funds for FY 2018/19. ESG funds may be used to provide homeless services through: ·Homeless Prevention; ·Rapid Re-Housing (rental assistance); ·Street Outreach; ·Emergency Shelter; and ·Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The City received one proposal from South Bay Community Services, a local homeless service provider, for their emergency shelter. The remaining funds will be earmarked for Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Services, Planning and Administration Costs (7.5% of the entitlement), and the HUD mandated Homeless Management Information System. Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) HOME funds may be used to provide affordable rental housing and home ownership opportunities through: ·New construction ·Acquisition ·Rehabilitation City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 5 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 333 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. ·First time homebuyer assistance ·Tenant-based rental assistance For 2018/19, the City will utilize the HOME entitlement and prior year unencumbered funds to address the City’s housing priorities of the 2015/2019 Consolidated Plan (approximately $750,547). HOME regulations also require cities to set aside fifteen percent (15%) of their annual allocation to assist Community Housing Development Corporations (CHDOs) for the creation of affordable housing units. The City has approximately $180,000 of CHDO funds available from the prior year and 2018/19 funds to be used by a certified CHDO. Should these funds not be utilized for this specific purpose, these funds would be recaptured by HUD. Additionally, staff recommends funding administration and planning activities at the maximum funding amount of $57,303 (10% of current year entitlement). Administration and planning funds under this category cover the costs associated with the management and administration of Chula Vista's HOME program, including regulatory compliance, contract administration, and portfolio and fiscal management. Conclusion While the ESG and the HOME programs were designed to meet very specific objectives, the CDBG program allows flexibility in the type of activities it funds. This allows the City to leverage its CDBG funds with ESG and HOME to maximize the impact of the grant funds to meet the housing needs of the lower income community. Since the end of redevelopment in California in 2012, the City has lost $10 million that would have been generated from redevelopment for affordable housing related activities. As the cost of housing has increased year after year, far outpacing income growth, housing has become increasingly unaffordable to more members of the community. Summarized below is the percentage of funds allocated to each specific service. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing to solicit input from the community on the 2018/19 funding recommendations presented. The 2018/2019 Annual Action Plan will be released for the required 30-day review and comment period on March 16, 2018 and will close April 17, 2018. Staff will incorporate all public comments into the final Annual Action Plan, to be brought forward for Council consideration in May 2018. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the Anita Street and “D” Street sidewalk projects as well as the Norman Park Improvement Project. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The activities funded through the federal grant programs are directed towards the revitalization of neighborhoods, economic development opportunities, and improved facilities and services. The nature of these City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 6 of 8 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 334 File#:18-0072, Item#: 5. activities is consistent with the Goals, Strategies and Initiatives in Goal 5: Connected Community. Strategy 5.1: Encourage Residents to Engage in Civic Activities Initiative 5.1.2 Fosters an Environment of Community Involvement The City has developed a detailed Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) which requires the participation of the community. The CPP requires the City to provide citizens with reasonable and timely access to meetings, information, and records related to the grantee's proposed and actual use of funds. A minimum of two public hearings are held annually to obtain citizen participation at all stages of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. This includes the identification of priorities, review of proposed activities, and review of program performance. Strategy 5.2: Provide Opportunities that Enrich the Community’s Quality of Life Initiative 5.2.1 Provide Services and Programs Responsive to Residents Priorities Consistent with the funding priorities established in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the CDBG, HOME and ESG activities selected are aimed at providing decent affordable housing opportunities and a suitable living environment with adequate public facilities, infrastructure and services. Services that support the elderly, disabled, homeless, and youth all contribute to community’s quality of life. For a detailed list of services provided please refer to the Application Notebook. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT At this time, Council is reviewing the funding requests for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. This action does not include appropriations. Appropriations for the proposed CDBG, HOME and ESG programs will be included as part of the City Manager's FY 2018/19 proposed budget. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. In the remote event that HUD should withdraw the City's CDBG, ESG, and HOME funding; the Agreements/Memorandum of Understandings provide that the City is not obligated to compensate subrecipients or City Departments for program expenditures. Recommended funding allocations are summarized in the table below and further detailed in Attachment 2.

Provide a concise description of the proposed project/program. The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program targets chronically hungry children in San Diego County by working in select public schools where large percentages of the children receive government-sponsored free meals during the school week, but have no such provisions over weekends. All children who receive free/reduced price lunches through government programs are eligible to receive Food Bank backpacks. Chronically hungry children are identified by teachers and school staff using a referral form that provides guidelines and warning signs for program eligibility. These children are provided new backpacks each school year. Every Friday, the backpacks are filled with food that is nutritious, nonperishable, and easily-consumed. Confidentiality and discretion are Briefly highlight your agency's experience and major accomplishments in providing services to low/ moderate income residents and/or community. The Food Bank was founded in 1977, making it one of the oldest food banks in the U.S. Since then, we have grown steadily, servicing a growing population of more than 3 million people in San Diego County. As our community's #1 safety net for hungry people, we have a proven ability to recover fresh, frozen, canned and boxed food and redistribute it quickly to those who are in need. We provide nutritious food to people in need and connect the people we serve to a wide range of health and human service providers. Through a combination of independent and government programs and partnerships with 400 San Diego County non-profit allies, the Food Bank acts as a central repository and distribution point for government and donated food for 370,000 hungry San Diegans every n Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. The goal of the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program is to provide a backpack full of child-friendly, shelf-stable food for elementary school children who receive a free meal at school but are suffering from hunger over the weekends when little or no food is available. The objective of the program is to alleviate hunger, improve school performance, improve health and provide additional information to parents about other local community services. The Backpack Program seeks to address the health-related concerns highlighted in the June 2012 Health Policy Brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in which the negative impact of food insecurity was outlined very clearly.

Map must be attached. 0 HOUSING (LMH): Housing is occupied by lower income people. For multifamily housing, at least 51% of the units must be occupied by lower income people. @ LIMITED CLIENTELE (LMI): The activity is limited to a specific group of people such. A minimum of 51% of the persons must be low/moderate income. In such instances, the services are offered to persons which are presumed to be low/moderate income by the nature of the specific clientele served (below).

Presumed Benefit Categories: D Abused Children 0 Elderly Persons (verification of 62 and older required) D Battered Spouses D Severely Adult (18+) Disabled Persons D Persons living with HIV I AIDS D Homeless Persons How does your agency plan to market the program/project to the target population? MOWS DC informs its target population through traditional marketing, community outreach, social media platforms and the website. MOWS DC is also a referral for local government agencies and other social service providers throughout the County and is a member of the San Diego Senior Alliance (SDSA) which consists of 20 organizations that serve seniors and acts as a referral base between members. G Chula Vista Consolidated Plan Goals Select the goal appropriate to your project. O Affordable Rental Opportunities O Maintenance and Preservation of Housing Stock (rehabilitation activities) O Homeownership Opportunities (homebuyer programs) O Capital Improvement/Public Facility Improvement Project @ Public Services 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 423 Explain how the proposed project addresses the Consolidated Plan selected. The 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan for the City of Chula Vista identifies services for the elderly as one of its goals and objectives and thus a funding priority. Additionally, the services provided by MOWSDC fall within the Priority 3 Tier-System which includes essential needs such as food services, services for those with special needs and/or disabled and services provided to low/moderate income persons. Provide a concise description of the proposed project/program. The MOWSDC program is designed specifically to address food insecurity, declining health, and social isolation. The program uses a Volunteer Prevention Intervention Model wherein services are provided in the home daily by a screened and trained volunteer with the express purpose of establishing a trusting relationship with the senior that allows MOWS DC to access and monitor quality of life and support seniors as they age at home. Care services provided include the delivery of up to two fresh meals a day accompanied by a daily safety check and in-home social visit. MOWS DC subsidies 60% of services and provides additional subsidies to those who qualify. MOWSDC will serve 230 unduplicated seniors with 29,168 fresh meals and accompanying services. Briefly highlight your agency's experience and major accomplishments in providing services to low/ moderate income residents and/or community. MOWSDC has been providing services to extremely-low to moderate income seniors throughout San Diego County for over 58 years. It serves all of San Diego County, including the 3,049 square miles of rural and unincorporated areas. It has Community Development Block Grant contracts with six cities in San Diego County which have been consistent since 2009. It also has a contract with the San Diego County Department of Health and Human Services-Aging and Independent Services to provide services to seniors who have limitations of two or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and are unable to age at home without assistance. Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. The SD County Senior Health Report (2015. HHSA) continues to indicate the number of seniors aged 65+ living in SD County will double between 2010 and 2030. The fastest growing age group is those 85+. This particular age group is considered high-utilizers of health care services and is more likely to need long-term care services. According to the most recent studies, 92% of older adults aging at home live with at least one chronic condition and 77% live with two or more (American Psychological Association. 2017. Older Adults' Health and Age-Related Changes: Reality Versus Myth). This places this population at significant risk for decreased quality of life, increased medical complications, loss of independent living and mortality (Musich, Shirley, PhD. 2015. Homebound older adults: Prevalence, characteristics, health care utilization and quality of care. Geriatric Nursing). 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 424 Describe the evaluation tools your agency plans to utilize to track and monitor the progress of the project/program. The organization measures its effectiveness through the documentation of the number of clients and meals served as well as client demographics. MOWS DC uses a sophisticated database called SERVtracker to collect and report on information. Quantitative evaluation methods include reviewing data collected and reported on as well as fiscal data. Qualitative evaluation is based on feedback from clients in the form of letters, surveys, and interviews conducted with MOWS DC staff. Evaluation of data is conducted monthly by Service Center Managers, Executive Management, and the Board of Trustees. Fiscal information is evaluated by Executive Management, the Board of Trustees, and Managers on a monthly basis. The Director of Grants and Government Affairs works with Managers and Executive Management to ensure that program goals are met and required reports submitted. Will the project collaborate with other services providers in the community? 0 Yes @No OUTCOMES If Yes, Please list them. List a minimum of three outcomes for the services you are providing as part of your program. For each outcome listed, provide the number of participants which will benefit.

Those 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 488 Explain how the proposed project addresses the Consolidated Plan selected. Provide a concise description of the proposed project/program. Briefly highlight your agency's experience and major accomplishments in providing services to low/ moderate income residents and/or community. Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. The Therapeutic Recreation programs will meet the consolidated plan goal of providing public services to special needs population, adults 18+ with severe disabilities, who are presumed benefit for low moderate income. The community of Chula Vista currently does not have any agencies or organizations providing public Therapeutic Recreation programs specifically designed for adults with disabilities. Our programs and classes would fulfill an unmet need while providing recreational opportunities and experiences for those adults who have a severe disability The Therapeutic Recreation programs began in the City of Chula Vista Recreation Department in 1969. It provided individuals ages five to adult with developmental and/or physical disabilities specifically designed recreational classes and programs they typically would not have access to due to their disability. Previously, the department offered a variety of classes such as bowling, day camps, dances, hip hop, cooking class, aqua exercise, learn to swim, basketball, special events, field trips, wheelchair sports and tournaments, hand cycling, and other specialty classes and activities. The City also successfully collaborated with other organizations such as the City of San Diego Therapeutic Recreation Services, the Chula Vista Elementary School District, the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) to offer joint programming and special events. In 2008, due to The Recreation Department has had great success serving individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities through our Therapeutic Recreation programming for low to moderate income individuals. For years, an array of classes, special events and day camps were offered year round and the City of Chula Vista Recreation Department was the only organization providing recreational programs strictly for those with disabilities in Chula Vista and the South Bay areas. We have since been successful in providing programs and services for children, teens and adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities with the exception of the years 2010 to 2012. During those years our City faced a severe economic downturn and the Recreation Department budget was drastically reduced, In the 2016 school year, San Diego Unified High School District (SUHSD) enrolled 1000 students into special education in the high school district with varying degrees of disabilities from speech impairments to moderate and more severe disabilities. The 2015 Census Bureau documented 24,011 adults ages 18 and older living with a disability in Chula Vista. Many families, group homes, and care providers seek out fun, recreational opportunities to assist their child, or person with a disability, with learning or increasing their daily living skills, IEP goals, and clinical therapy goals. Additionally, agencies such as South Bay Community Services, ARC, and the SUHSD refer a number of participants to our recreational programs to gain new skills, increase socialization, increase health and fitness, and gain independence in a fun and active way. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 489 Describe the evaluation tools your agency plans to utilize to track and monitor the progress of the project/program.

Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. The proposed program will directly address the consolidated plan by providing a safety net for families who are facing poverty and food insecurity (Special Needs Population and/or Low Moderate Income Persons). The program addresses the priorities of Tier 1 by providing emergency and basic needs services for low income residents in the most vulnerable areas of the city. The program also improves access to needed services for vulnerable and disengaged families The Chula Vista Community Collaborative (CVCC) through its network of five Family Resource Centers (FRCs) in Chula Vista provides an array of support and wrap around services for families. This network of FRCs is a safety net to help the most vulnerable families. Families can access services at any of the five locations, all of which are easily accessible through public transportation. The proposed program will provide emergency and basic services for families. Families who are suffering from food instability will be provided with an immediate food box and/or a grocery store gift card. Families will be provided with clothing for the entire family and in many times school uniforms. When families are experiencing difficult financial situations, they are many times not able to pay for basic needs.

CDBG National Objective Criteria Select the HUD National Objective that best describes the project's service type. AREA BENEFIT (LMA): Capital Improvement and Public Facility improvements which are completed in an area designated as a low/moderate income census tract. Map must be attached. HOUSING (LMH): Housing is occupied by lower income people. For multifamily housing, at least 51% of the units must be occupied by lower income people. LIMITED CLIENTELE (LMI): The activity is limited to a specific group of people such. A minimum of 51% of the persons must be low/moderate income. In such instances, the services are offered to persons which are presumed to be low/moderate income by the nature of the specific clientele served (below). If this is the case, select from the subcategory below. Presumed Benefit Categories: Abused Children Elderly Persons (verification of 62 and older required) Battered Spouses Severely Adult (18+) Disabled Persons Persons living with HIV/AIDS Homeless Persons How does your agency plan to market the program/project to the target population? Chula Vista Consolidated Plan Goals Select the goal appropriate to your project. Affordable Rental Opportunities Maintenance and Preservation of Housing Stock (rehabilitation activities) Homeownership Opportunities (homebuyer programs) Capital Improvement/Public Facility Improvement Project Public Services We plan to include the information about this improvement as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project on the City website. Adjacent areas will be posted prior to construction of the facilities. Once this project is completed, the improvements will be apparent to all residents. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 574 Explain how the proposed project addresses the Consolidated Plan selected. Provide a concise description of the proposed project/program. Briefly highlight your agency's experience and major accomplishments in providing services to low/ moderate income residents and/or community. Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. D Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue does not have a continuous pedestrian pathway along the south side of this street. There are three blocks between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue with intersecting T-intersections with Garrett Avenue and Landis Avenue. Two of the three blocks have sidewalks on only one parcel. The block between Landis Avenue to Third Avenue does not have any sidewalks. Within the proposed project limits, pedestrians must walk either on the shoulder of the roadway around parked vehicles or along various types of uneven private property furnished hardscape surfaces of varying widths located within the public right of way. The proposed project will be able to provide a continuous pedestrian pathway towards existing pedestrian ramps at the intersections. The City of Chula Vista has completed many pedestrian improvement projects throughout the 52-square mile city limits. As we work on providing sidewalks to existing neighborhoods that did not have them when they were first inhabited, we have significantly reduced the missing sidewalk inventory. For the 7-fiscal year period between FY11 through FY17, we have averaged over 55,375 square feet of new sidewalk improvements, or approximately 2-miles of sidewalk per year. D Street is a Class II Collector street with approximately 3,000 vehicles per day and a posted 30 MPH speed limit. The street is near a senior assisted living facility and close to the city civic center and business district. A bus transit route is located along Fourth Avenue to the west. Adjacent land uses are generally single family detached homes with nearby multi-family housing. The proposed project would complete all sidewalk needs on D Street, a 1.25-mile east/west corridor between Second Avenue and Woodlawn Avenue located just east of the Interstate-5 freeway corridor to a new park at the foot of D Street that is under development at this time. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 575 Describe the evaluation tools your agency plans to utilize to track and monitor the progress of the project/program.

Yes No Will you be able to select and award a contract to a general contractor within 90 calendar days from the CDBG Memorandum of Agreement execution date? Yes No We have monthly CIP status meetings for design and also monthly meetings for construction. As issues come up, we address them quickly. Every other month we have regularly scheduled meetings with all of the utility companies that serve the Chula Vista area. We initiate discussions with them on new projects so that we provide them with as much lead time as possible to coordinate with us during the design phase and the construction phase. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 576 If no, please why. Are there any issues with the project site which will need to be mitigated prior to construction (i.e. lead, historic preservation, asbestos, etc.)? * If the capital improvement project consists of streets and sidewalks, they must be new and can not include resurfacing or replacing existing.

Presumed Benefit Categories: Abused Children Elderly Persons (verification of 62 and older required) Battered Spouses Severely Adult (18+) Disabled Persons Persons living with HIV/AIDS Homeless Persons How does your agency plan to market the program/project to the target population? Chula Vista Consolidated Plan Goals Select the goal appropriate to your project. Affordable Rental Opportunities Maintenance and Preservation of Housing Stock (rehabilitation activities) Homeownership Opportunities (homebuyer programs) Capital Improvement/Public Facility Improvement Project Public Services We plan to include the information about this improvement as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project on the City website. Adjacent areas will be posted prior to construction of the facilities. Once this project is completed, the improvements will be apparent to all residents. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 589 Explain how the proposed project addresses the Consolidated Plan selected. Provide a concise description of the proposed project/program. Briefly highlight your agency's experience and major accomplishments in providing services to low/ moderate income residents and/or community. Summarize any statistics and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the importance of addressing this need or problem. Anita Street between Broadway and Industrial Blvd does not have a continuous pedestrian pathway on either side of the street. Pedestrians must walk either on the shoulder of the roadway or along an unimproved area when walking from one end of the block to the other. The proposed project will be able to provide a continuous pedestrian pathway for at least one side of the street so that pedestrians have an all-weather walking surface. The City of Chula Vista has completed many pedestrian improvement projects throughout the 52-square mile city limits. As we work on providing sidewalks to existing neighborhoods that did not have them when they were first inhabited, we have significantly reduced the missing sidewalk inventory. For the 7-fiscal year period between FY11 through FY17, we have averaged over 55,375 square feet of new sidewalk improvements, or approximately 2-miles of sidewalk per year. Anita Street is a Class II Collector street with approximately 5,000 vehicles per day and a posted 35 MPH speed limit. The street is a truck route and east of Broadway, a bus transit route. Adjacent land uses are a mixture of all types, residential, commercial and industrial. The Anita Street corridor to the east is the # 8 pedestrian priority location in the city. Improvements east of this proposed project limits are currently in design and will be completed in 2018. The proposed project will then continue the continuous pathway to the west towards the Blue Line Light Rail Trolley station located at Industrial Blvd/Palomar Street. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 590 Describe the evaluation tools your agency plans to utilize to track and monitor the progress of the project/program.

Yes No Will you be able to select and award a contract to a general contractor within 90 calendar days from the CDBG Memorandum of Agreement execution date? Yes No We have monthly CIP status meetings for design and also monthly meetings for construction. As issues come up, we address them quickly. Every other month we have regularly scheduled meetings with all of the utility companies that serve the Chula Vista area. We initiate discussions with them on new projects so that we provide them with as much lead time as possible to coordinate with us during the design phase and the construction phase. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 591 If no, please why. Are there any issues with the project site which will need to be mitigated prior to construction (i.e. lead, historic preservation, asbestos, etc.)? * If the capital improvement project consists of streets and sidewalks, they must be new and can not include resurfacing or replacing existing. In addition, improvements must be made in areas that are primarily residential and not commercial, which include arterial streets.

Currently there is no designated multi generational outdoor exercise & play equipment at Norman Park which is located in the heart of Chula Vista adjacent to near older adult communities. This tract income level is low with a 2017 median family income of $39,182. The tract pollution is 1743 of which 76.71% is minority most of which are Hispanic. The neighborhood park is adjacent to senior living communities and an indoor recreation center."According to the US Census Bureau, 13 percent of the US population was at least 65 years old in 2010. This percentage has risen over a period of 5 years to 14.9 percent or 47.8 million people. Population forecasts project this age group to continue to grow. The census Bureau anticipates the 65-plus population will swell to 65.9 million, nearly 38 percent between 2015 and 2025 This group will grow even further to 82 3 million by 2040 at The City of Chula vista Public Works and Engineering Departments have completed many projects in low and moderate income segments of our community. In regards to Park projects the most recent project was the completion of the Park improvement at Holiday Estate I which included a removal of grass, installation of play ground equipment, benches, trash can and ADA accessibility modifications. Currently underway is the Park improvement at Holiday Estates II nearing completion. The Department of Public Works also completed a Park improvement project at Eucalptus Park a few years ago. These projects have been delivered within budget and completion date. The project will consists of the following: Removal of existing lawn in a 3,025 square foot area (55'x55') Grading and compaction of area Placement of 6" Concrete (PCC) Curb (55 LF) to enclose outdoor fitness center and match existing in the designated area Placement of s missing segment of PPC concrete slab adjacent to existing near building to match existing in designated area Placement of a 6" stabilized decomposed granite (DG) with binder surface in the 3,025 square foot area to provide a durable, permeable, and natural aggregate surface for the fitness area. the DG This project will provide an improved living environment for local residents by improving accessibility to outdoor recreational equipment currently not available at this location. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 605 Describe the evaluation tools your agency plans to utilize to track and monitor the progress of the project/program.

SUMMARY The F Street Promenade Master Plan (“Project” or “Master Plan”) is an approximately 1.25 mile long segment of F Street from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. The Project would link downtown’s Village District and Civic Center with the City's up and coming Bayfront by way of a streetscape master plan designed using the principles of "complete streets,” a balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users via walking, biking, public transit, and driving. The Master Plan envisions street and sidewalk improvements to enhance the corridor through the undergrounding of utilities, reduction of vehicular travel lanes, the addition of a 12’ wide multi-use path, landscaped parkways, extended curb returns at intersections, enhanced paving, pedestrian- scale lighting, site furnishings and a unified planting scheme. Place-making opportunities and the ability to expand the public realm will enhance the pedestrian experience. Through design features, the Project will also promote energy efficiency and water conservation. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice The Project qualifies for a Statutory Exemption pursuant to Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Environmental Determination The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed action, adoption of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan, falls under a Statutory Exemption pursuant to Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary, at this time. However, projects resulting from the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan, may require environmental review and a CEQA determination completed prior to commencing said project(s).

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On February 7, 2018, the Chula Vista Safety Commission unanimously recommended adoption of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan by City Council by a vote of 7-0 (Attachment 3). The following is a summary of the Safety Commissioners’ comments provided during their discussion of the Master Plan: Overall, this is a beautification project that will make the area residents proud; differentiate color and/or material for the multi-use path to clearly distinguish bicycle and pedestrian areas; ensure the pedestrian ramps at intersections are designed appropriately to accommodate the multi-use path; and, ensure a safe location for maintenance vehicles/personnel at the proposed round- a-bout. The Design Team will consider the above comments during the project’s design development phase. DISCUSSION Background On May 23, 2014, SANDAG issued a Call for Projects from local jurisdictions in San Diego County wishing to apply for the Active Transportation Program (“ATP Funding”) for use on planning projects meeting certain criteria. The City of Chula Vista (“City”) successfully applied for ATP Funding for the preparation of the Master Plan and received a notice to proceed from SANDAG on August 14, 2015. The goal of the project is to develop a Streetscape Master Plan for a Complete Street: A balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi -modal access (via walking, biking, and transit) to downtown Chula Vista on Third Avenue, the Chula Vista Civic Center, the E Street Trolley Station (one block north of study area), and the Chula Vista Bayfront. The need for a streetscape plan along this roadway segment in the Urban Core is identified in both the City’s General Plan and further described as an implementation project in the Urban Core Specific Plan. Following interviews of planning consultants in early 2016, the City selected the urban design firm, MIG and its team of sub-consultants (“Design Team”), to prepare the Master Plan. Primary sub-consultants include Fuscoe Engineers (civil engineering), Chen Ryan (transportation engineering), and Selbert Perkins Design Collaborative (Signage and Wayfinding). Development of the Master Plan commenced in the fall of 2016 under the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) number “STL412.” Project Location The Project is an approximately 1.25 mile long segment of F Street from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue (Attachment 1, Project Location Map). Located in the northwest area of the City of Chula Vista, the project will create a plan for a "Promenade" that will link the City's downtown Third Avenue Village, the Civic Center, the unused railroad bridge over I-5, the regional Bayshore Bikeway, the Bayside Park, and the City's planned Bayfront. This linkage will provide an opportunity to create synergy between these distinct areas of the City and create better access to all. Primary land uses found along the project corridor are commercial uses west of Third Avenue, Chula Vista’s Civic Center at 4 th Avenue, single-family residential westward to Ash, commercial at Broadway and multi-family residential to Woodlawn Avenue. The former City Public Works Yard, MTS railroad tracks, the abandoned railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and Bay Boulevard Park round out the west end of the project area. Additional uses near the F Street corridor include Memorial Park, Friendship Park, three schools at the G Street and 4 th Avenue intersection (Chula Vista Middle School Vista Square Elementary School, and Davila Day School), Scripps Mercy Hospital, and the Chula Vista Bayfront. Existing Conditions F Street between Third Avenue and Bay Boulevard varies between a two-lane road and four-lane road with turn pockets at some intersections. The entire corridor is curbed and only a small portion of the corridor is without sidewalks (north side between Woodlawn Avenue and the F Street bridge). The right-of-way width is a consistent 80 feet, generally from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk. Curb-to-curb width varies between 40 feet and 80 feet. There are five landscaped medians between City Hall and Third Avenue. In these areas, curb-to-curb width for the westbound and eastbound lanes is approximately 20 feet to 22 feet. Four intersections along F Street are signalized including Broadway, 5 th Avenue, 4 th Avenue and Third Avenue. F Street bridges over Interstate 5 near Bay Boulevard and an unused railroad bridge also spans across I-5 20 feet to the north. North-south MTS trolley tracks are immediately east of I-5 and include crossing arms for traffic control. City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 634 File#:18-0051, Item#: 7. Posted speed limits are 35 MPH west of Broadway and 30 MPH east of Broadway. Average Daily Trips (ADT) varies from 5,486 ADT west of Broadway and 7,921 ADT east of 4 th Avenue. Level of Service (LOS) throughout the corridor is an “A.” There are a total of 136 parallel parking spaces on F Street (72 on the north side and 64 on the south side). F Street is designated as a Class III Bike Route (vehicles and bicycles share the travel lanes with vehicles). The existing pedestrian circulation system consists of relatively narrow, yet standard, five foot-wide sidewalks that are often shared by pedestrians and bicyclists. The sidewalks are generally located in the northerly and southerly portions of the public right-of-way. There is no sidewalk on the north side for approximately 260 feet beginning 200 feet west of Woodlawn Avenue. In addition to painted crosswalks at the signalized intersections, there are painted crosswalks at two four-way stop-controlled F Street intersections of Bay Boulevard and Garrett Avenue. A painted mid-block crossing at City Hall between 4 th Avenue and Fire Station #1 exists. There are currently no painted crosswalks between Bay Boulevard and Broadway, a distance of approximately 2,200 feet, nor are there any painted crosswalks between Broadway and 4 th Avenue (other than the City Hall mid-block crossing), a distance of approximately 2,500 feet. Specific information regarding the number of collisions within the corridor was collected over a five-year period between 2011 and 2015. During that time span, five pedestrian-involved collisions, four bicycle-involved collisions and 35 vehicle- vehicle collisions were reported within the F Street study area. Eight of the 35 vehicle-vehicle collisions occurred at the Woodlawn Avenue intersection. Community Input City Staff and MIG initiated work on the Project by conducting a community open house to gather input from the area’s stakeholders. The first open house was conducted December 15, 2016 at the weekly Farmer’s Market on Third Avenue adjacent to the project study area. This open house included a questionnaire and a visual preference survey that requested participants to select images that reflected their vision for the street. The questionnaire was also posted on the City’s website. We had a successful response with 197 community members responding to the questionnaire, including approximately 17 participants at the workshop. Respondents provided feedback with highly desirable design features or considerations, such as pedestrian-scaled lighting, undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, dedicated bicycle ways, street trees/enhanced landscaping, maintaining existing on-street parking and new signage and way-finding elements. Utilizing this information and background research of the project area, the Design Team developed three initial concepts that were presented to staff, providing various multi-modal circulation options; however, through its meetings with staff, the three concepts were reduced to two prior to the second workshop. A second open house to present initial concepts was held on Saturday March 11, 2017. It was conducted as a “pop-up workshop” and was held on the temporarily closed westbound lanes of F Street between 4 th Avenue and Fire Station #1. Participants were able to view over 15 display boards depicting various proposed improvements within two alternative designs. Members of the design team and staff were on hand to provide explanations, answer questions, and receive additional feedback from the community. After synthesizing the input from workshop #2, the design team narrowed the alternative designs into a Preferred Plan which was then presented to the community in a third workshop on June 8 2017, at City Council Chambers. The Preferred Plan has been further developed into the Master Plan and presented in this report. The Streetscape Master Plan The Master Plan envisions street and sidewalk improvements to enhance the corridor (Attachment 2, F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan - Final Draft). Proposed improvements to the project area include enhancing the pedestrian and bicycle experience by expanding the existing five-foot sidewalk to create a 12’ wide multi-use pathway the full length of the corridor and on both sides of the street. Landscaped and lighted parkways, bulb-outs, plaza opportunities, new or improved crosswalks and the undergrounding of overhead utilities will also add to the improved experience. Vehicular travel lanes would be reduced to one lane in each direction allowing for the expansion of the public realm (see section C. Travel Lane Improvements, below). A. Pedestrian Improvements The development of a 12’ multi-use path would greatly enhance the pedestrian experience providing a comfortable walk/strolling zone connecting the historic downtown to the emerging Bayfront. Bulb-outs, which offer a refuge area and shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians, are proposed at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 635 File#:18-0051, Item#: 7. a refuge area and shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians, are proposed at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, and 5 th Avenue. New pedestrian-scaled lighting, street trees and understory planting would be included in the parkway planting areas adjacent to the multi-use path. The new and improved continuous parkway planting area provides a safer separation between bicycles and pedestrians, and vehicular traffic. Landscaped areas to capture stormwater to filter contaminants will be considered during the project’s design development phase. It is acknowledged that the bicycle commuter would have the option to ride within the multi-use path or remain in the vehicular travel lane as a Class III bike route. Existing crosswalks would be enhanced to high-visibility, zebra-striped, continental crosswalks at controlled intersections including a new crosswalk at 5 th Avenue. New painted crosswalks are proposed on all legs at the uncontrolled intersections at Woodlawn Avenue and Beech Avenue. Additionally, two new painted mid-block crosswalks are proposed at the following locations: ·Between Broadway and Woodlawn Avenue (approximately 560 feet west of Broadway) ·Landis Avenue (east side) A warrant analysis would be required during the Project’s design development phase to confirm the need for the two proposed crosswalks at Woodlawn Avenue and Beech Avenue, as well as, the proposed mid-block crosswalks. Throughout the corridor, small plazas and seating areas are proposed to provide places to pause and enjoy public artworks or learn about Chula Vista’s history. The Master Plan includes a proposal to utilize the unused railroad bridge as a multi-use path that features signage and placemaking elements. The intersections at Woodlawn, Broadway, 5 th Avenue, and 4 th Avenue are possible locations where the public realm could be enhanced to provide seating and educational opportunities adjacent to the multi-use path, enticing users to traverse the corridor. B. Bikeway Improvements The City’s current Bicycle Master Plan (2011) does not include any recommendations for changes to the existing F Street Class III bikeway designation. The Urban Core Specific Plan (2007 and amended in 2015), which includes most of the Master Plan study area, identifies a multi-use path (11 feet wide) from 4 th Avenue to Interstate 5, and a small portion as a Class II bikeway (five feet wide) between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue. As indicated above, the proposed improvements for the entire F Street corridor between Third Avenue and Bay Blvd. include a 12-foot wide multi-use path, with designated areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. While multi-use path is intended to serve the casual cyclist and families, the bicycle commuter would have the option to travel along the multi-use path or continue to use the Class III bike route along F Street. C. Travel Lane Improvements The Design Team’s mobility analysis of the project area concluded that the existing ADT volumes described in the Existing Conditions, above, are low enough to support a reduction in travel lanes in areas that contain more than one lane in each direction. Where there are currently two, 13-foot travel lanes in each direction, the Master Plan proposes to reduce vehicular travel to one 11-foot wide lane each direction, allowing for the development of the multi-use path. Between East Park Lane (the alley just east of Broadway) and the trolley tracks, the Master Plan proposes to reduce the two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a center-turn lane. At the west of the project, a round-a-bout is proposed at the intersection of F Street and Bay Boulevard to reduce congestion and increase travel movements which are busiest during the morning and evening rush hours. There are no proposed reductions in the number of lanes between East Park Lane and 4 th Avenue as this segment already is one lane in each direction. The multi-use path will utilize some of the existing parkway in this area. Between 4 th Avenue and Garrett Avenue, the two lanes in each direction would be reduced to one lane in each direction to allow for the inclusion of the multi-use path and parkway. City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 4 of 7 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 636 File#:18-0051, Item#: 7. The two eastbound lanes exist today between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue. The segment between Garrett and Landis Avenue is proposed to be reduced to one lane while east of Landis Avenue, the right-turn lane onto Third Avenue is planned to be maintained. For this short distance on the south side, the multi-purpose path would be reduced to approximately eight feet to allow for the left-turn and right-turn lanes onto Third Avenue. Between Garrett and Third Avenues, the 13 on-street parallel parking spaces on the north side would be removed to allow for the creation of the multi-use path and landscaped parkway. The existing parking structure across the street at the southwest corner of F Street and Third Avenue, as well as, existing parking spaces one block to the east on F Street would provide mitigation for the removed parking spaces. D. Public Transit Currently, there are two bus lines operating on F Street. Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) bus line #932 travels on F Street between Woodlawn Avenue and Broadway (with a bus stop on each side), and MTS bus line #701 travels on F Street between 4 th Avenue and Third Avenue (one stop on the north side and three stops on the south side of the street). MTS is contemplating a third line, bus line #704, which would operate between Woodlawn Avenue and Third Avenue in both directions. The MTS proposal includes one bus stop on F Street westbound, between Broadway and East Park Lane, and potential stops at Fifth Avenue in both directions, if ridership warrants them. The General Plan contemplates a bus shuttle system to link the Urban Core Subarea with the Bayfront to provide residents and visitors with convenient access to transit stations, as well as shopping and services in both areas and to provide access to the Bayfront Planning Area from other parts of the City. F Street is envisioned as a key link of a potential route this shuttle could traverse along with Third Avenue and H Street. Further analysis would be required to determine the appropriate vehicles and route for a circulator shuttle. E. Wayfinding Program The Master Plan includes a program for three types of gateway elements that corresponds to the relative importance and visibility of the intersecting streets. These are envisioned as vertical columns that include lighting and public art. In addition, banners on poles are proposed at the west and east ends of the F Street corridor. The banners would be used to signify the terminus points of the corridor. Banners will employ both seasonal and special event themes, as well as reflecting the two main branding themes of Chula Vista History and Chula Vista Nature. The Master Plan also includes examples and location of interpretive signage and art, as well as directional signage. Application for TransNet Grant Funds from SANDAG On December 15, 2017, the SANDAG Board of Directors released the call for projects for the fourth cycle of funding for the TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) to distribute $27 million in SGIP funds available to local jurisdictions and the County of San Diego for Fiscal Years 2017-2019. The City understands that the Smart Growth Incentive Program funding is fixed at the programmed amount, and therefore project cost increases that exceed the grant awarded will be the sole responsibility of the grantee. Staff is seeking authorization to submit a grant application to SANDAG for the Smart Growth Incentive Program Grant for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 in the amount of up to $2.5 million for the F Street Promenade Streetscape Improvements, Phase 1 (Bay Boulevard to Broadway), certifying that matching funds will be available therefor, and authorizing the City Manager or his Designee to execute in the name of the City of Chula Vista all grant documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments and requests for payments necessary to secure said grant. Staff will seek authorization for the appropriation of matching funds upon the identification of the amount and funding source of said funds. Conclusion The F Street Streetscape Master Plan proposes distinct recommendations for improvements that would enhance the street as a safer corridor from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. The many City of Chula Vista Printed on 3/8/2018Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 637 File#:18-0051, Item#: 7. would enhance the street as a safer corridor from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. The many proposed improvements, such as reduced travel lanes, a protected 12-foot wide multi-use path, high- visibility crosswalks and mid-block crossings, bulb-outs, pedestrian lighting, street trees and parkway planting areas, interpretive and wayfinding signage with public art, expansion of the public realm with the development of plazas throughout the corridor and by capitalizing on the unused railroad bridge over I-5, and the undergrounding of overhead utilities would enhance the neighborhood and provide an attractive and desirable linkage between historic village of downtown Chula Vista and the forthcoming Bayfront development. The Master Plan improves mobility for all modes of transportation in this complete streets plan. Ultimate implementation of the plan will take many years, with multiple phases of construction. With the adoption of the Master Plan, the City would be able to apply for and obtain grant funding for the recommended improvements. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This project seeks to address all five goals by enhancing the quality of life by transforming F Street into a thriving and safe corridor, connecting downtown’s Village District with the Bayfront, encouraging opportunities for healthy living through its multi-use path and public realm improvements throughout. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Adoption of this Master Plan will not have any current year fiscal impact. It will provide the framework to seek further grant funding for the completion of the construction documents and ultimately, construction of the recommended improvements. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Adoption of this Master Plan will not have any direct ongoing fiscal impact. Adoption of the Master Plan increases the competitiveness of the City in applying for and obtaining grant funding for the recommended improvements.

The goal of the project is to develop a Streetscape Master Plan for a Complete Street: A balanced, connected, safe, and convenient trans- portation network designed to serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi-modal access (via walking, biking, and transit) to downtown Chula Vista and Third Avenue, the Chula Vista Civic Center, which includes the Library, Police Station, Fire Station, and City Hall, the E Street Transit Center (one block north of project area), Bay Boulevard Park and the Chula Vista Bayfront. The project is funded by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). PROJECT LOCATiON The 1.25-mile project is in the northwest portion of Chula Vista. The F Street Promenade project area extends from the west side of the Third Avenue intersection with F Street to the west side of the Bay Boulevard intersection with F Street. The project width is 80 feet, which is the F Street right-of-way width. Key north-south streets that intersect with F Street include (from west to east) Bay Boulevard, Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, Beech Avenue, 5th Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Garrett Avenue, Landis Avenue, and Third Avenue. In addition to the commercial uses west of Third Avenue, and the Civic Center Area, the areas immediately adjacent to the F Street Promenade project area includes single family homes, apartments, mobile home parks, commercial uses clustered at the Broadway and Woodlawn Av- enue intersections, the former City Yard at Woodlawn Avenue, the Blue Line trolley, the abandoned railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and Bay Boulevard Park. EXiSTiNG CONDiTiONS F Street is one of the few east-west streets that cross Interstate 5 without an interchange. As a result, it has lighter traffic volumes but also pro- vides a direct connection between the Third Avenue downtown central business district and the Chula Vista Mid Bayfront. Views of San Diego Bay from the Civic Center are possible, and there is a near constant pre- vailing breeze onto F Street off the Bay. F Street between Third Avenue and Bay Boulevard varies between a two- lane road and four lane road with turn pockets at some intersections. The entire 1.25-mile corridor is curbed and only a small portion of the cor- ridor is without sidewalks. The right -of-way width is a consistent 80 feet generally from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk although in some cases there are private improvements within the right-of-way behind the sidewalk. Curb-to-curb width varies between 40 feet and 80 feet. Sidewalks are generally five to eight feet wide, which presents challenges for both pedestrians and bicyclists who often share the narrow sidewalk. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 645 vi F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The situation is exacerbated between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue where a higher volume of pedestrians is present due to residential den- sities, the library and Third Avenue commercial uses. On the west end, within the railroad parcel there is no sidewalk on the north side of F Street for approximately 260 feet beginning 200 feet west of Woodlawn Avenue. Street trees are infrequent, and there are no street trees planted within the right-of-way west of Broadway. Between Broadway and Fire Station 1, there are approximately 41 street trees, the majority of which are Pep- per Trees (Schinus molle). These street trees are in declining health due to conflicts with overhead utility lines, lack of water, and poor growing conditions. There is a total of 136 parallel parking spaces on F Street (72 on the north side and 64 on the south side). F Street is designated as a Class III Bike Route (bicycles share the travel lanes with vehicles). Specific infor- mation regarding the number of collisions within the corridor was col- lected. Over a five-year period (2011 to 2015) a total of five pedestrian- involved collisions were noted as well as a total of four bicycle-involved collisions. During the same period, a total of 35 vehicle-vehicle collisions were reported within the F Street project areas. In addition, there are two bridges over Interstate 5; the F Street bridge and the adjacent abandoned railroad bridge 20 feet north. North-south MTS trolley tracks are immediately east of Interstate 5 and include cross- ing arms. THE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN City Staff and MIG initiated work on the Project by conducting a com- munity workshop to gather input from the area's stakeholders. The first workshop (Workshop #1) was conducted December 15, 2016 at the weekly Farmer’s Market on Third Avenue adjacent to the project area. A second community workshop (Workshop #2) to collect input on the initial concepts was held on Saturday March 11, 2017. Initial concepts were developed and presented based on public input at Workshop #1. A third workshop (Workshop #3) that presented the preferred plan was held on June 8, 2017 at the City Council Chambers. The preferred plan was based on public input from the second workshop. Key desires that the community expressed include: • Multi-use bike and pedestrian paths • Street trees and seating areas • Improved crosswalks and mid-block crossings • Directional signage and street signs • Celebrate Chula Vista history and connections to nature PEDESTRiAN iMPROvEMENTS Existing pedestrian facilities consist of relatively narrow (five to eight feet wide) sidewalks that are often shared by pedestrians and bicyclists. In addition to painted crosswalks at the signalized intersections, there are painted crosswalks at the intersections of Bay Boulevard and Garrett Avenue, which are both four-way stops. In addition, there is a painted mid-block crossing at City Hall. There are no painted crosswalks between Bay Boulevard and Broadway, a distance of approximately 2,200 feet. With the exception of the City Hall mid-block crossing, there are also no painted crosswalks between Broadway and Fourth Avenue, a distance of approximately 2,500 feet. New pedestrian-scaled lighting, street trees and understory planting will be included in the parkway planting areas adjacent to the multi-use path. The new and improved continuous park- way planting area provides a safer separation between bicycles and pe- destrians, and vehicular traffic. The plan also includes recommendations for eventual undergrounding of overhead utilities. All new and replacement crosswalks in the plan would be high-visibility, zebra-striped, continental crosswalks. This reflects the community desires for improved and new crosswalks, which can provide a safer crossing for pedestrians as well as a traffic calming effect. The Master Plan proposes Bicyclists often use sidewalks 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 646 viiF STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY new painted crosswalks on all legs at some uncontrolled intersections. The Master Plan also proposes two new painted mid-block crosswalks. In accordance with community desires, the existing sidewalk is proposed to be widened to 12 feet and would be identified as a multi-use path on the north and south sides of F Street that can accommodate casual bicycle riders, pedestrians, and potentially other users as well, such as neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV) in the future. Bulb-outs, which offer a refuge area and shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians, are pro- posed at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, and 5th Avenue. BiKEWAY iMPROvEMENTS As indicated above, the proposed improvements for the entire F Street corridor between Third Avenue and Bay Boulevard include a 12-foot wide multi-use path, with designated areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. Due to the constrained width of the F Street bridge over Interstate 5, this short portion of F Street (250 feet) would include a standard bike lane (Class II). However, the F Street Streetscape Master Plan includes a pro- posal to utilize the 30-foot wide abandoned railroad bridge as a multi- use path that features signage and placemaking elements. The City’s current Bicycle Master Plan (2011) does not include any recom- mendations for changes to the existing F Street Class III bikeway desig- nation. The Urban Core Specific Plan (2007 and amended in 2015), which includes most of the F Street Streetscape Master Plan project area, iden- tifies a multiuse path (11 feet wide) from Fourth Avenue to Interstate 5, and a small portion as a Class II bikeway (five feet wide) between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue. The Bikeway Master Plan is being updated now and will also combine with the Pedestrian Master Plan to become a Multi-Modal Master Plan. Completion is anticipated in fiscal year 2018- 2019 and will incorporate these recommendations for F Street. TRAvEL LANE iMPROvEMENTS Between East Park Lane (the alley just east of Broadway) and the trol- ley tracks to the west, the Master Plan proposes to reduce the two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a center turn lane. The reduction from four lanes to three lanes allows for the expanded multi-use path and parkway improvements on the north and south sides between East Park Lane and the Interstate 5 bridge. In addition, a round- about is proposed at the intersection of F Street and Bay Boulevard. There are no proposed reductions in the number of travel lanes between East Park Lane and Fourth Avenue. Between Fourth Avenue and Garrett Avenue, the two lanes in each direction would be reduced to one lane in each direction, which will allow the creation of the 12-foot wide multi-use path and parkway. WAYFiNDiNG PROGRAM The F Street Streetscape Master Plan includes a program for three types of gateway elements that corresponds to the relative importance and visibility of the intersecting streets. These are envisioned as vertical col- umns that include lighting and public art. In addition, banners on poles are proposed at the east end of the F Street corridor. The banners will employ both seasonal and special event themes as well as reflecting the two main project branding themes of Chula Vista History and Chula Vista Nature. The Master Plan also includes examples and location of interpre- tive signage and art, as well as directional signage. CONCLUSiON The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan includes distinct rec- ommendations for improvements that will enhance the street as a safer corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists without sacrificing levels of service and vehicle operations. These key proposed new improvements include: • Protected 12-foot wide multi-use path from Third Avenue to Bay Bou- levard on both sides of F Street • Difference in multi-use path pavement color and texture to distin- guish bicycling and walking areas • High-visibility crosswalks and mid-block crossings • Pedestrian lighting, street trees and parkway planting areas from Third Avenue to Bay Boulevard • Gateway, interpretive and wayfinding signage with public art • Plazas with seating, shade trees and bike racks • Transformation of the former railroad bridge over Interstate 5 into a pedestrian plaza and multi-use path • Bulb-outs at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, and 5th Avenue • Stormwater planters • Overhead utility undergrounding Overall, the proposed streetscape improvements meet the expressed desires of the community and will be an important foundation for future detailed design, leading towards eventual implementation of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 647 viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CITY OF CHULA VISTA CiTY COUNCiL Mary Casillas Salas, Mayor John McCann, Councilmember District 1 Patricia Aguilar, Councilmember District 2 Stephen Padilla, Councilmember District 3 Mike Diaz, Councilmember District 4 CiTY STAFF Kelly Broughton, Director of Development Services Bill Valle, Director of Engineering/City Engineer Patricia Ferman, PLA, Principal Landscape Architect Mark Caro, PLA, ASLA, Landscape Architect and Project Manager Frank Rivera, PE, Principal Civil Engineer Michael Walker, Senior Planner CONSULTANT TEAM MiG - PLANNiNG AND URBAN DESiGN Richard Barrett, ASLA, LEED AP, Principal Emily Hubbard, PLA, ASLA, LEED Green Associate, Senior Landscape Architect and Project Manager Kenya Huezo, ASLA, LEED Green Associate, Project Associate CJ Davis, Senior Project Associate CHEN RYAN ASSOCiATES - MOBiLiTY Monique Chen, PE, Principal Andrew Prescott, Mobility Planner and Project Manager FUSCOE ENGiNEERiNG - CiviL ENGiNEERiNG Kenneth Kozlik, PE, Project Manager SELBERT PERKiNS DESiGN - SiGNAGE AND WAYFiNDiNG Andrew Davey, Principal Rocio Vidal, Designer COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS San Diego Bike Coalition Bike Walk Chula Vista The City of Chula Vista wishes to thank the many business and property owners along F Street, neighborhood residents, and others who participated in the public process that culminated in this plan.

From its maritime, rail and agricultural beginnings to a city of great prosper- ity with unlimited potential, the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan is an occasion to celebrate this history and the City’s rich cultural diversity. The cooling prevailing breezes off San Diego Bay, beautiful views for which the city is named, lower vehicular volumes, the diversity of land uses, adjacent homes, proximity to transit and the connections to the Bayshore Bikeway and to existing and proposed parks provide excellent opportunities for creating a truly bike and pedestrian friendly promenade. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On May 23, 2014 the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) issued a call for projects from local jurisdictions in San Diego wishing to apply for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) for use on plan- ning projects meeting certain criteria. The City of Chula successfully applied for AT Funding for the preparation of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan and received a notice to proceed on August 14, 2015. View of F Street looking west from Civic Center 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 651 2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN The goal of the project is to develop a Streetscape Master Plan for a Complete Street: A balanced, connected, safe, and convenient trans- portation network designed to serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi-modal access (via walking, biking, and transit) to downtown Chula Vista on Third Avenue, the Chula Vista Civic Center, which includes the Library, Police Station, Fire Station, and City Hall, the E Street Trolley Station (one block north of project area), Bay Boulevard Park and the Chula Vista Bayfront. The Streetscape Master Plan will provide the design framework for revitalization of the F Street corridor, serving as a vital link between the Downtown Village District (Third Avenue) to the Bayfront. In addition to providing a complete street, additional goals of the master plan aim to: • Provide more trees and pedestrian plazas • Integrate water conservation design features • Incorporate historical and nature design elements F Street improvements will provide opportunities to safely stroll, bicycle, or take local transit, improving local accessibility and enhancing neigh- borhood connections for local residents, visitors, and school children. PREviOUS PLANNiNG EFFORTS The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan builds upon previous planning efforts. The inception of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan began several years ago during the City’s General Plan Up- date. At that time, F Street was identified and planned as a multi-modal pedestrian promenade. The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan supports the vision and core values outlined in the Chula Vista General Plan in several ways. Key themes supported by the Streetscape Master Plan include: • Theme 1: Strong Community Character and Image The Streetscape Master Plan will connect two notable elements that help define Chula Vista’s identity, the downtown area and the Bayfront. Recommendations in the Streetscape Master Plan also include compre- hensive branding and placemaking, which includes gateway elements, and examples and locations for interpretive signage, art, and wayfinding signage. • Theme 3: Strong and Safe Neighborhoods The Plan will enhance the neighborhood, creating a safe and accessible street with convenient transportation options. • Theme 4: Improved Mobility The Plan will contribute to a safe and accessible city-wide multi-modal circulation system. • Theme 5: Healthy and Sustainable Community The Streetscape Master Plan will provide access to transit and make the neighborhood more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. The Plan will also encourage physical activity and support active modes of transportation. In an effort to improve water quality and conservation, stormwater plant- ers will capture and treat stormwater runoff, where feasible. • Theme 8: Shaping the Future Through the Present and Past The Plan aims to preserve local history and culture by proposing to reuse the abandoned railroad bridge over Interstate 5, preserving remnants of rail tracks in the street where possible, and celebrating local history through art and interpretive signage elements. The Streetscape Master Plan is also developed within the guiding frame- The project area extends from the west side of Third Avenue intersection with F Street to the west side of the Bay Boulevard intersection with F Street 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 652 3F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION work of the Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP), adopted in 2007 (and amended 2015), as an implementing plan of the General Plan. The UCSP includes public realm design guidelines, focused on creating attractive and pedestrian-friendly environments. The UCSP identifies the F Street Promenade as an urban amenity improvement, and designates F Street as the primary pedestrian promenade and bike corridor linking the urban core from Third Avenue to the Bayfront. The City of Chula Vista Pedestrian Master Plan (2010) ranks F Street within an area of High Pedestrian Project Need. PROJECT STUDY AREA The 1.25-mile project is in the northwest portion of the City of Chula Vista. The F Street project area extends from the west side of the Third Avenue intersection with F Street to the west side of the Bay Boulevard intersection with F Street. The project width is 80 feet, which is the F Street right-of-way width. Key north-south streets which intersect with F Street include (from west to east) Bay Boulevard, Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, Beech Avenue, 5th Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Garrett Avenue, Landis Avenue, and Third Avenue. In addition to the commercial uses west of Third Avenue, and the Civic Center Area, the areas immediately adjacent to the F Street corridor proj- ect area includes single family homes, apartments, mobile home parks, commercial uses clustered at the Broadway and Woodlawn Avenue in- tersections, the City Yard at Woodlawn Avenue, the abandoned railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and the Bay Boulevard Park. Additional uses near the F Street corridor include Memorial Park, Friend- ship Park, three schools at the G Street and Fourth Avenue intersection (Chula Vista Middle School, Vista Square Elementary School, and Davila Day School), Scripps Mercy Hospital, and the Chula Vista Bayfront, which includes Bayside Park, Chula Vista Marina, and planned parks and open space totaling over 130 acres (source: Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan Fact Sheet). PLANNING PROCESS City Staff and MIG initiated work on the Project by conducting a com- munity workshop to gather input from the area’s stakeholders. The first workshop (Workshop #1) was conducted December 15, 2016 at the weekly Farmer’s Market on Third Avenue adjacent to the project area. This workshop also included a questionnaire (also posted on the city’s website) and a visual preference survey that requested participants to select images that reflected their vision for the street. A second work- shop (Workshop #2) to collect input on the initial concepts was held on Saturday March 11, 2017. Initial concepts were developed and presented based on public input at the first workshop. It was conducted as a “pop- up workshop” and was held on the closed west-bound lanes of F Street between Fourth Avenue and the Fire Station. In addition to comment cards, participants were able to view over 15 display boards depicting various proposed improvements. A third workshop (Workshop #3) that presented the preferred plan was held on June 8, 2017 at City Council Chambers. The preferred plan was based on public input from the sec- ond workshop.

The Master Plan is intended to create a plan for a Promenade that will link the City’s downtown Third Avenue Village, the Civic Center, the unused railroad bridge over Inter- state 5, the regional Bayshore Bikeway, the Bayside Park, and the City’s planned Bayfront development. Understanding existing conditions in terms of the physical environment, operations, and safety of all travel modes is critical to planning for the future. This chapter will examine existing conditions as they relate to pe- destrian, bicycle, vehicular, and transit mobility, as well as existing utilities along the F Street corridor, between Bay Boulevard and Third Avenue. This chapter will also identify opportunities and constraints presented along the corridor. The project area is an approximately 1.25-mile long segment of F Street, from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. 2 existing conditions View looking west down F Street, at the Broadway intersection 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 655 6 CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN in surrounding areas by providing convenient access to adjacent com- mercial areas, downtown, and popular civic center areas, like the Civic Center and the public library. ROADWAY This section of the report describes the existing roadway conditions as related to the physical roadway environment. F Street is designated as a Downtown Promenade in the General Plan, which is a road that provides access to retail establishments in the heart of the Urban Core, with multi- modal features and amenities that accommodate the surrounding urban context. RiGHT OF WAY AND ROADWAY CROSS SECTiONS This 1.25 mile segment of F Street has varying widths from two – four lanes. The project area includes three typical cross-sections, which char- acterize the different segments of the promenade: west, central, and east. From west to east, the three cross-sections include: • 4-Lanes Undivided – From Bay Boulevard to Ash Avenue • 2-Lanes Undivided – From Ash Avenue to approximately 580’ west of Fourth Avenue • 3 to 4-Lanes with Raised Median – From approximately 580’ west of Fourth Avenue to Third Avenue The undivided segments require drivers to make mid-block left-turns from the travel lane, potentially obstructing the movement of other ve- hicles. The presence of a raised median limits the ability to modify travel lane widths. EXISTING LAND USES There are a variety of land uses along the corridor, ranging from open space and recreation, to commercial and civic uses, single-family and multi-family residential. According to the General Plan, the western terminus of the corridor around Bay Boulevard includes recreation (Bay Boulevard Park), surrounded by commercial and industrial uses. Gener- ally, between Bay Boulevard and Broadway, there is a combination of low-medium and medium density residential, in the form of apartment buildings and mobile home parks. This area of the corridor is designated in the General Plan as Transit Focus Area, because of the proximity to the E Street Transit Center, and Urban Core, which is intended for high density, multi-family dwelling units in an urban environment. The Broadway corridor is designated as Mixed Use Residential in the General Plan, which allows a variety of compatible land uses in order to create a dynamic urban environment. Existing uses around the Broadway intersection include low density commercial, including a restaurant, gas station, car wash, and small commercial shopping center with a conve- nience store. East of Broadway along F Street transitions to single family residences. This area is designated medium density residential in the General Plan. Public and Quasi-Public lands define the land uses around the Fourth Avenue intersection. These land uses include Fire Station No. 1, the Civic Center, the public library, and police department. Finally, the area be- tween Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue makes up part of the downtown central business district. This area is designated in the General Plan as Mixed Use Residential, and includes commercial uses. Due to the diversity of land uses along the F Street corridor, the F Street Promenade will serve a large population and a variety of users. Prom- enade users will be users of different modes of transportation, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and vehicles. The promenade is also intended to serve a recreation purpose, providing a direct link from sur- rounding areas to the Bayfront. It will serve residents along F Street and 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 656 7F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS Curb to curb widths vary along the corridor from 40 to 64 feet, resulting in four segments that change in width. From west to east, the segments include: • 52 feet – From Bay Boulevard to east of the railroad tracks (550’ east of Bay Boulevard) • 64 feet – From east of the railroad tracks (550’ east of Bay Boulevard) to 200’ east of Broadway • 40 feet – From Ash Avenue to 540’ west of Fourth Avenue (Chula Vista Fire Station 1) • 64 feet – From 540’ west of Fourth Avenue to Third Avenue Unique conditions along the corridor not generally represented by the above typical cross sections include the block on the north side of F Street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue and the area directly in front of the Central Library. The north side of F Street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue cur- rently has a private parking lot that encroaches into the public right of way approximately 13 feet, which ultimately can create a challenge in providing a consistent multi-use path without reclaiming right of way. The Central Library, located on the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and F Street, is significantly set back from the street. The site also fea- tures extensive landscape area with mature street trees along the street frontage, outside of the right of way. The landscape area slopes toward the street. There is also a meandering path provided. iNTERSECTiON CONTROL AND GEOMETRY Four intersections along the F Street study corridor are currently signal- ized, including Broadway, 5th Avenue, Fourth Avenue, and Third Avenue. Additionally, intersections at Bay Boulevard and Garrett Avenue are all-way stop controlled. Minor intersecting side street approaches are also stop controlled, including Woodlawn Avenue, East Park Lane, Ash Typical existing cross sections in the corridor include 4-lane undivided, 2-lane undivided, and 3-4 lanes with a raised median View looking east toward 5th Avenue View looking west toward Fourth Avenue View looking east at Woodlawn Avenue 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 657 8 CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN BiCYCLE FACiLiTiES Avenue, Beech Avenue, and Landis Avenue. Intersection geometry information was collected to prepare the intersec- tion analysis and help in the recommendation development stage. The number of turn lanes and through lanes at intersections must be taken into consideration when planning along a corridor, as the required right- of-way for vehicles may be greater at the intersection than it is along the segment. POSTED SPEEDS The posted speed limit along F Street is 35 miles per hour west of Broad- way. East of Broadway the speed limit drops to 30 miles per hour, cor- responding with the decreased curb-to-curb width. Posted speed limits are frequent along the corridor, reminding drivers to be cognizant of their speed. RAiLROAD TRACK REMNANTS Currently, there are old railroad track remnants embedded in the road pavement along the corridor. The remnants, however, are primarily con- centrated west of Broadway. The remnants serve as a reminder of local history, but may pose a safety concern for cyclists and vehicles during storm events. BICYCLE FACILITIES F Street is currently designated as a Class III Bike Route throughout the project area. Vertical “Bike Route” signage is frequent along the study corridor, west of 5th Avenue in both directions. However, between 5th Avenue and Third Avenue, the only sign is in the eastbound direction, immediately east of the 5th Avenue and F Street intersection. West of Bay Boulevard, Class II Bike Lanes are present along F Street. Streets intersecting F Street with bicycle facilities include Bay Boulevard, 5th Avenue, Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue. Class II Bike Lanes are pres- ent in each direction along Bay Boulevard, to the north and south of F Street. 5th Avenue, Fourth Avenue, and Third Avenue are all designated as Class III Bike Routes, north and south of F Street. Similar to F Street, the Bike Routes along 5th Avenue and Fourth Avenue are identifiable by vertical signage. The vertical “Bike Route” signage and shared-lane arrow markings or “sharrows” are utilized along Third Avenue. Sharrows may be more visible to drivers by being located on the roadway, helping to alert drivers to anticipate cyclists. Additionally, sharrows can be used to advise cyclists of appropriate lateral positioning within the lane. The corridor is used by many bicyclists 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 658 9F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Existing pedestrian facilities consist of sidewalks, ADA and non-ADA curb ramps, marked crosswalks, and missing sidewalks. For the purposes of this report, the distinction between ADA and non-ADA curb ramps is dependent on the presence of truncat- ed dome surfaces. However, the City of Chula Vista is currently conducting a citywide analysis of every curb ramp to determine ADA compliance by examining the curb ramp slope, sidewalk quality, and presence of truncated domes, which should be completed in 2017. Three varieties of crosswalk marking patterns are present along F Street. Standard crosswalks, dis- tinguishable by two parallel lines extending across intersection legs, are present at Bay Boulevard and Broadway. A ladder crosswalk, which includes the two parallel lines as well as perpendicular lines, is utilized to facilitate mid-block crossings just west of Fourth Avenue. Differentiated pavement types are used to delineate crosswalks at F Street intersections of Fourth Avenue, Garrett Avenue, and Third Avenue. Additional features benefitting pedestrians along the study corridor include curb bulbouts (curb exten- sions), pedestrian warning signage, and a wayfind- ing sign. An example of existing curb bulbouts or curb extensions are located at the F Street and Third Avenue intersection. Bulbouts reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians while also serving as a traf- fic calming mechanism. For example, the distance across the west leg of the Third Avenue and F Street intersection, which includes a curb extension on the north side of the street only, is approximately 54 feet, compared to the 64-foot distance across the east leg of the Garrett Avenue and F Street intersection. Signage alerting drivers of the presence of the mid- block crossing at the Civic Center are located 200 feet in advance of the crossing in each direction, as well as at the crosswalk location. Mid-block crossings are generally uncontrolled. A pedestrian wayfinding sign is located on the south side of F Street at the mid-block crossing location, providing direction to the Downtown area and the Civic Center. Sidewalks are typically five to eight feet wide along the length of the corridor, with the exception of an area in the western segment, between Woodlawn Avenue and the trolley tracks to the west. The lack of sidewalks in this stretch can force pedestrians to walk in the roadway. As mentioned previously in the Roadway section on pages 6-8, unique conditions directly related to the existing sidewalk area are the block on the north side of F Street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue, and the area directly in front of the Central Library. The block on the north side of the street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue currently has a park- ing lot that substantially encroaches into the right of way. Directly adjacent to the parking lot is a 5-foot wide sidewalk and on-street parking. The pedestrian sidewalk in front of the Central Library consists of a meandering path along a large planting area with several existing, mature trees. The path is located behind a planting area that slopes toward the street. PEDESTRiAN FACiLiTiES Sidewalks five feet in width are located along nearly the entire length of the corridor Lack of sidewalks and crosswalks can be an impediment to pedestrians 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 659 10 CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN TRANSIT There are a number of transit bus routes with stops on F Street, includ- ing Route 932 and Route 701. Bus Route 929 and 704 and the Blue Line Trolley intersect F Street with stops to the north and south of the corridor. Bus Route 705 runs just north of F Street. A description of each of these routes is provided in this section along with the amenities for each stop along F Street. A total of six transit stops are present along the F Street study corridor. The transit stop with the greatest amenities serves westbound Route 701, located in front of the Chula Vista Public Library. A shelter is provided at this station, including a bench, covering, and trash receptacles. A trash receptacle and bench are located at the eastbound Route 701 stop in front of the Chula Vista Police Department. A trash receptacle is located at the eastbound Route 701 stop, just north of Garrett Avenue, and eastbound Route 701 just west of Third Avenue. Benches are located at both Route 932 stops along F Street. BUS ROUTE 701 Route 701 provides service between the H Street Transit Center and Palomar Street Transit Center via Main Street, Hilltop Drive, and F Street. Route 701 stops on F Street east of Fourth Avenue. This route operates with 15-minute headways Monday through Friday during peak hours, and one-hour headways on Saturday. Route 701 does not operate on Sunday. BUS ROUTE 704 Route 704 provides service between the E Street Transit Center and Palomar Street Transit Center via Fourth Avenue, Sharp Medical Center and Orange Avenue. Route 704 traverses the F Street corridor at Fourth Avenue. This route operates with 30-minute headways Monday through Friday during peak hours, and 60-minute headways on Saturday. Route 704 does not operate on Sunday. BUS ROUTE 705 Route 705 provides service between the E Street Transit Center and Southwestern College via Plaza Bonita and Otay Lakes Road. Route 705 runs parallel to the F Street corridor, along E Street. This route operates with 30-minute headways Monday through Saturday during peak hours. Route 705 does not operate on Sunday. BUS ROUTE 929 Route 929 provides service between Downtown San Diego and the Iris Avenue Trolley Station via Highland Avenue and Third Avenue. Route 929 traverses the F Street corridor at Third Avenue. This route operates with 15-minute headways Monday through Friday during peak hours, and 20-30 minute headways on Saturday and Sunday. BUS ROUTE 932 Route 932 provides service between the 8th Street Transit Center and Iris Avenue Transit Center via National City Boulevard and Broadway. Route 932 stops on F Street between Woodlawn Avenue and Broadway. This route operates with 15-minute headways Monday through Friday during peak hours, and 20-minute headways on Saturday. Route 932 operates with 30-60 minute headways on Sunday. Sunday service is only provided between the E Street Transit Center and Iris Avenue Transit Center. BLUE LINE TROLLEY The Blue Line Trolley provides service between America Plaza in Down- town San Diego and the San Ysidro Transit Center, running parallel to Interstate 5. The Blue Line Trolley stops at the E Street Transit Center, just north of the F Street corridor, as well as the H Street Transit Center south of F Street. This route operates with 7-15 minute headways Monday through Friday during peak hours, and 15-minute headways on Saturday and Sunday. TRANSiT The study is located in close proximity to various transit options 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 660 11F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS PARKING On-street parking along the corridor is intermittent. Parking restrictions are frequent to allow emergency access and ensure sight distances at driveway and intersection approaches. Approximately 136 parallel on- street parking spaces are available along F Street, between Bay Boule- vard and Third Avenue. In locations where on-street parking spaces are not individually marked, a measurement of 20’ was assumed to equal one parking space. An on-street parking inventory is summarized by street segment below: • Bay Boulevard to Broadway: Approximately 70 spaces • Broadway to 5th Avenue: Approximately 37 spaces • 5th Avenue to Fourth Avenue: Approximately 16 spaces • Fourth Avenue to Third Avenue: 13 spaces Based on the on-street parking inventory, the highest concentration of on-street parking spaces is along the western segment of the corridor, between Bay Boulevard and Broadway. In the residential area between Broadway and Fourth Avenue, there are several curb segments that are painted red and indicate that no parking is allowed. The red curb segments vary in length and are located near intersections and also mid-block. LANDSCAPE The general character of the existing landscape consists of trees and plant resources located in the public right-of-way in the project area. There is a great discrepancy in the character of existing landscape fea- tures in different portions of the corridor. There are approximately 97 existing street trees in the right-of-way. Gen- erally, the landscape medians in the eastern segment of the project area, between Fourth and Third Avenues, appear to be in good condition and are well-maintained. The Date Palms (Phoenix dactylifera) in the medians serve as a bold focal point that make a statement in the center of the right-of-way and help define the character of the adjacent Civic Center and urban core at the eastern terminus of the corridor. Additionally, the medians also contain a variety of healthy understory planting. However, generally between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue, there is a lack of a consistent parkway—a landscape area between the sidewalk and curb—provided in the right-of-way. There are existing trees that are accommodated in tree grates, such as the Brisbane Box (Lophostemon confertus) trees in front of the Police Department on the south side of the street, and Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) trees east of Gar- rett Avenue, on the north and south sides of the street. Healthy, mature, existing trees should be preserved in the master plan where feasible. Further west, the residential area between Fire Station 1 and Broadway contains a high density of existing trees in the right-of-way. Typical tree species in this neighborhood include the California Pepper Tree (Schi- nus molle), and a variety of palms. This area also features a wide exist- ing parkway, typically 12 feet in width. The parkway, however, ranges in maintenance and appearance, from no maintenance with a lack of plant material and/or trees, to well-maintained with trees or understory plant- ing. Some parkway areas currently are planted with turf, which tends to have a high irrigation demand, and also contributes very little to biodi- versity in the parkway. The area west of Broadway typically lacks a dedicated parkway area within the right-of-way. Trees and landscape areas in this stretch of the corridor are generally located in private property behind the sidewalk. Because of the lack of parkway, private land uses that contain paving directly to the back of sidewalk feature a prevalence of hardscape with little respite. Some of the existing trees in the parkway may have the potential to be preserved in the Streetscape Master Plan, however, further study may be required to determine the health and longevity of each tree on an indi- vidual basis. PARKiNG On street parking is located throughout the corridor 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 661 12 CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN LANDSCAPE The medians and some parkway areas contain thriving plant material The parkways in some areas contain poor soils, poorly maintained planting, or a lack of planting altogether 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 662 13F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS UTILITIES Existing utilities along F Street include sewer, storm drain, water, gas, and dry utilities. For reference, the following descriptions are provided west to east along the corridor. SEWER Generally, the sewer main is 8” vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and flows west. The sewer main begins east of the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway. The 8” sewer is capped east of Woodlawn Avenue. The F Street sewer that ties into the west Broadway sewer, continues east. At the Ash Ave- nue centerline, the sewer splits and runs down both sides of F street until the south line turns right/south down Beech Avenue and the north sewer main ends west of 5th Avenue. The VCP sewer runs north and south at the 5th Avenue intersection and then on both sides of F Street, with the north line continuing to the Fourth Avenue intersection. Sewer runs south down Landis Avenue to the centerline of F Street and east to beyond the Third Avenue intersection. STORM DRAiN The storm drain through the project varies significantly in size and mate- rial, and generally flows west and/or south. At the San Diego & Arizona East Railway (SD&AE) the storm drain directs flow from the north side of the road to a drainage channel which runs south parallel to the SD&AE railway. This is done through 18” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), curb inlets, headwalls and rip rap. The next storm drain system is located east near APN 567-032-47. Various improvements to the road through the years created a complex system. Flow is directed west and south to a 10’ drainage easement, from various sizes of corrugated metal pipe and inlets. Corrugated metal pipe (CMP) storm drain runs under the sidewalk on the north side of F street until the Broadway intersection. This storm drain ends at an inlet on the north side of the street just east of Broadway. East of Fig Avenue by the Civic Center, curb inlets on the north side of the street direct flow in 15” RCP under the curb and gutter east toward Fourth Avenue. It ties into a 36” asbestos cement (AC) pipe which flows south. An older abandoned 15” RCP storm drain runs across Fourth Avenue on the north side of F Street which connects to an in-use cleanout. 5’ type B inlet directs flow to the cleanout which drains south in a 33” RCP which ties into the line that continues west down F Street. The connection point flows south west into the Fourth Avenue 36” AC line. The 33” RCP continues east until Garrett Avenue, the storm drain splits with one extending to the north side of the street and ends with a 15’ type B inlet. An 18” RCP extends from the other and heads south on Garrett Avenue approximately 90’. The final storm drain line is present in Third Avenue and flows south. Two inlets on the north east and south east of F Street pick up water. WATER For the length of the project site, a water line runs along the north side of F Street approximately 15’ off centerline. From Bay Boulevard to Fig Avenue the line is 6” cast iron at 36”-38” depth from original grade. At Fig Avenue/Civic Center, it increases to 8” diameter until east of Fourth Avenue where it reduces down to 4” pipe and the line shifts south. After Garrett Avenue the water line increases again to 8”. Sweetwater Author- ity is the purveyor of water service. The proposed F Street improvements retain the water line beneath the roadway. Sweetwater Authority is in the process of planning and constructing a new water main segment beginning at Woodlawn Avenue and extending approximately 522’ east of Woodlawn Avenue. The proposed water main is a 16” Class 235 PVC pipe, located 16’ north of centerline. The pro- posed water main is 8’ away from the proposed face of curb. GAS San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is the purveyor of natural gas ser- vice. A 1 ½“ high pressure natural gas line runs along the south side of UTiLiTiES Overhead utilities are located along the majority of the corridor, west of Civic Center to Bay Boulevard 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 663 14 CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN F Street 16’ off the centerline. At the intersection of Broadway, the gas shifts north to roughly 9’ off the centerline, then shifts back after Broad- way. The primary Gas line shifts south after Fourth Avenue and crosses the 33” RCP storm drain. It shifts north toward the centerline after Gar- rett Avenue then shifts back to 16’ off the centerline and remains 2” diameter. DRY UTiLiTiES Starting at Bay Boulevard, overhead utilities run along the south side of F Street. The overhead utilities continue east on the south side of the road until 200’ west of Woodlawn Avenue at which point the overhead utilities cross to the north side of F Street and continues to run on both sides of the street. The north side overhead lines cross to the south side 650’ west of Broadway and continues on the south side until just before Broadway, at which points it transitions to underground. The Broadway intersection has a large amount of underground conduit. After Broadway the lines resurface, and there are two crossings near East Park Lane and then one near Ash Avenue. After an underground crossing at Ash Avenue both north and south side overhead lines continue to run east. At 5th Avenue there is an overhead electric and utility crossings at all corners. There are four additional overhead crossings before both the north and south side lines transition to underground just west of Fire Station 1. This analysis of existing conditions helps with planning efforts to ultimately underground overhead utilities along F Street. OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS Several key findings, opportunities, and constraints have been identified that helped formulate the recommendations in the Streetscape Master Plan. These opportunities and constraints are described below and also depicted on the map on page 15. OPPORTUNiTiES One of the greatest roadway opportunities is west of Broadway, where very low traffic volume and oversized capacity of the existing roadway present an opportunity to reduce the classification of this segment, al- lowing right-of-way width to be dedicated to other uses, such as wider pedestrian and bicycle facilities, landscape features, and plazas. Similarly, an additional opportunity exists along the Fourth Avenue to Third Av- enue segment to reduce the existing 3 and 4-lane classification to 2-lane, due to very low volumes and a higher capacity threshold. The Bay Boulevard and F Street intersection currently experiences a very low level of service during peak times. The intersection fails during peak times as a result of high volumes for a single movement, which provides opportunity for a roundabout to facilitate the flow of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic through the intersection. There is an opportunity for the F Street corridor to provide a viable con- nection to transit facilities and encourage transit use due to the close proximity of the E Street Transit Center, as well as the existing and pro- posed bus routes that traverse the corridor. Additional opportunities for the F Street corridor include: • Vistas toward the Bay: Currently, vistas are clear along F Street to the waterfront, which can even be seen from the eastern segment of the corridor. Scenic views should be preserved and enhanced throughout the entire corridor. • The central segment of the corridor (generally between Ash Avenue and Fire Station 1) has existing sidewalk and parkway areas that are 20’ wide. This width provides an opportunity to maintain the existing curb in the same location, while also dedicating extensive area to the multi-use path for bicycles and pedestrians in a cost-effective manner. • Relief from Interstate 5 vehicular traffic: F Street is the only major east-west arterial in the City that does not have direct Interstate 5 access, which helps keep traffic volume low, and provides an ideal opportunity for traffic calming enhancements and the accommoda- tion of multiple modes of transportation. • City-owned properties along the F Street corridor provide an oppor- tunity to expand the public realm with integrated plazas along the corridor, which would help create a sense of place. • The proposed Bayfront development will connect a large number of users directly to the central business district. • The north side of F Street, between the trolley tracks and Woodlawn Avenue, contains the abandoned City Yard property. The City Yard, in addition to the adjacent triangular railroad parcel, could serve as a viable future location for a relocated Blue Line railroad station, when the trolley tracks are separated in grade from the adjacent roadway. The grade separation of the tracks is discussed in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. CONSTRAiNTS There are existing underground and overhead utilities throughout F Street. Overhead utilities serve as a constraint in providing complete, uninterrupted access for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The City should consider the strategic phasing of undergrounding utilities to support F Street improvements. Additionally, underground utilities are located throughout the corridor, near the proposed curb location in some areas. If complete avoidance or a setback is required to existing utilities, sustainable design features such as stormwater planters may need to be further evaluated. Another constraint relates to the relationship of the right-of-way bound- ary to the back of existing sidewalk. In several areas throughout the cor- ridor, the right-of-way extends past the back of sidewalk approximately two feet. Many fences and other development features on private prop- erty may technically be located within the right-of-way. If the entire right- 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 664 15F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS of-way is intended to be used to accommodate the proposed multi-use path, these features on private property may require relocation. Addi- tional constraints include the following: • The block on the north side of F Street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue currently has a private parking lot that encroaches into the right of way. This condition may limit the opportunity to provide a complete, uninterrupted bicycle and pedestrian promenade. • The existing trolley crossing limits the direct, unobstructed connec- tivity of the F Street corridor. The 2050 Regional Transportation Plan proposes a future grade separation of the light rail Blue Line and freight rail corridor by lowering the railroad tracks below street grade. The proposed grade separation would run from just south of the Sweetwater River through south of the H Street crossing. This would allow for F Street to ultimately become a direct, unobstructed link to the Bayfront.

Community input on the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan consisted of an initial questionnaire, three community workshops, participation in a local community event, CiclaVista, and a presentation to the Safety Commis- sion, in order to maximize feedback opportunities and gain a variety of feedback perspectives. The community was engaged throughout project initiation and the conceptual design process in order to ensure that the project met the established goals, which include: • Develop a Complete Street: A balanced, connected, safe, and con- venient transportation network designed to serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi-modal access (via walking, biking, and transit) • Provide more street trees and pedestrian plazas • Integrate water conservation design features • Incorporate historical and nature design elements. 3 conceptual design Workshop #1 was held on December 15, 2016 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 667 16 CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN INITIAL FEEDBACK (NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 2016) Community outreach for the project began with a questionnaire that was distributed to residents, businesses, and property owners on and around F Street. The questionnaire invited participants to “Re-Imagine F Street.” It was distributed by mail and also hosted on the City’s website, in Eng- lish and Spanish. A total of 198 completed questionnaires were received. The questionnaire included 18 questions related to street elements, traf- fic and parking, pedestrian and bike facilities, and design concepts for F Street Promenade. Specific topics that were included in the questionnaire include: • Wider sidewalks • Shaded sidewalks • Pedestrian lighting • Seating along the corridor • Mid-block crosswalks • Dedicated bicycle ways • Availability of bicycle racks along the street • Maintaining or relocating existing on-street parking • New signage or wayfinding • Creation of a specific identity for F Street • Distinction of different sections of the corridor • Design concepts • Elimination of one lane of traffic in each direction from Broadway to Woodlawn • Relocation of existing overhead utilities underground Based on 12 questions regarding street elements, the top three ele- ments, by priority, include pedestrian lighting, relocating existing over- head utilities underground and dedicated bicycle ways. Respondents also indicated a preference for the relocation of on-street parking and the elimination of one lane of traffic in each direction (from Broadway to Woodlawn) to create a center median. If improved bike lanes are provided, the top three destinations respon- dents indicated traveling to include the Bayfront area, the Bayshore Bikeway, and Third Avenue. Finally, the top three design concepts that respondents support, by preference, are Bay to City Link, Nature, and Chula Vista History. WORKSHOP #1 (DECEMBER 15, 2016) Workshop #1 took place at the Chula Vista Farmer’s Market on Decem- ber 15, 2016. The intent of the workshop was to introduce the project and gather additional public input on the re-imagining of F Street. Ap- proximately 30 people attended the workshop. The workshop included different stations for participants to visit. One station requested general feedback where participants were asked to list Workshop #1 featured several stations for residents to provide feedback 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 668 17F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN viSUAL PREFERENCE SURvEY the locations along or near F Street where they live, work, or play. Anoth- er station included an aerial image of F Street, where participants were asked to write comments related to specific locations along the corridor. The other stations consisted of a visual preference survey, which included five specific topics related to participants’ preference of design elements for F Street Promenade. The visual preference survey topics included: wayfinding, branding/ placemaking, urban design amenities, walkability and safety, and bike facilities. The following list indicates the top three preferences for each topic: Wayfinding • Street signs • Directional signage • Information Branding/Placemaking • Celebrate History • Connections to nature • Bike commute corridor Urban Design Amenities • Street trees • Plazas/parklets • On-street parking Walkability and safety • Mid-block crossing 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 669 18 CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN • Enhanced crosswalks • Widened sidewalks Bike Facilities • Class I - Multi-use • Class IV - Cycle track • Class II - Standard bike lane CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT (JANUARY – FEBRUARY 2017) Following Workshop #1, the MIG team and City staff explored a variety of alternatives that applied the community desires to the existing condi- tions. The team looked at a variety of possible solutions that included some combination of the following typical bicycle facilities depending on the unique geometric sections of each section of the street: • Class I: Multi-purpose path (minimum 8-foot wide) • Class II: Standard bike lane (minimum 8-foot wide with buffer) • Class III: Bicycles share road with vehicles • Class IV: Cycle track In addition, the MIG team recognized that the 1.25-mile corridor had three typical street sections, each with a generally consistent appearance: West Section (west of Broadway and East Park Lane): two lanes of travel each way with parallel parking on both sides and narrow sidewalks. Over- head utilities occur on the south side of the street only. Central Section (between East Park Lane and Fire Station 1): one lane of travel each way with parallel parking on both sides, and wide parkways (20 feet wide), including a 5-foot wide sidewalk. Overhead utilities occur on the north and south sides of the street. An exception to the typical section in the Central portion of the project area occurs on the north side of the street, between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue. An existing private parking lot encroaches approximately 13 feet into the right of way. There is a six-foot wide sidewalk immedi- ately adjacent to the parking lot. East Section (between Fire Station 1 and Third Avenue): one to two travel lanes each direction with turn lanes, and five planted medians. There are generally no planted parkways here, except a short segment in front of the Civic Center at the corner of Fourth Avenue, and in front of the Cen- tral Library. Sidewalk width ranges from five to eight feet. There are only 13 total on-street parking spaces in this area, and no overhead utilities. The MIG team initially explored a number of bicycle, pedestrian and roadway reconfiguration alternatives that included landscape medians west of Broadway, widening the sidewalk on one side of the street west of Broadway to create a broad promenade, reducing the 20-foot parkway and sidewalk width between East Park Lane and the Fire Station, removal of the five planted medians between the Fire Station and Third Avenue, and several others. As alternatives were explored, the following objectives were established: • Retain on-street parking as much as possible • Minimize impacts to traffic operations • Maintain vehicular turn lanes where necessary • Allow for future undergrounding of overhead utilities • Minimize impacts to safety and maintenance operations on the street (fire trucks and trash collection) • Create a safe alternative for bicycling and walking • Create pedestrian amenities including new street trees and plazas with seating areas • Create a consistent bicycle and pedestrian circulation system through the entire corridor At this point in the conceptual design process, the MIG team coalesced the alternatives and options into three schemes, as depicted on the following page. The schemes looked at reducing the width and/or num- ber of travel lanes in the west and east sections of the project area, and relocating curbs inward to create a Class I path on both sides (Scheme 1), incorporating a protected two-way Class IV bike facility in the middle of the street west of Broadway and Class I east of Broadway (Scheme 2) and create a Class IV and Class II buffered bike lane the entire length (Scheme 3). 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 670 19F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN SCHEME 1 • Shift curb west of East Park Lane and east of Fire station inward to create an enhanced bicycle and pedestrian zone • Create Class I share multi-purpose path entire length by widening the sidewalk • Add landscape parkways to pedestrian zone where they currently do not exist SCHEME 2 • Create new two-way protected Class IV cycle track in the middle of street west of Broadway by removing one travel lane • Create Class I shared multi-purpose path east of Broadway • Shift curb east of Fire station inward to create multi-purpose path SCHEME 3 • Create a new Class II one-way 8-foot wide bicycle facility on both sides of the street east of Broadway, and a Class IV buffered cycle track west of Broadway • Relocate curb between East Park Lane and Fire Station toward homes • Shift on-street parallel parking onto parkway between East Park Lane and Fire Station 1 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 671 20 CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN In conjunction with development of the three schemes, the MIG team discussed the high-level pros and cons of each scheme. Scheme i Pros: • Creates a consistent circulation system for bicyclists and pedestrians • Does not require immediate undergrounding of the overhead utilities Cons: • Requires curb relocation west of East Park Lane and east of Fire Sta- tion 1 Scheme 2 Pros: • Requires curb relocation only east of Fire Station 1 • Does not require immediate undergrounding of the overhead utilities Cons: • Results in two different bicycle circulation systems (Class IV west of Broadway and Class I east of Broadway), making transitions challeng- ing • No changes to existing narrow sidewalk west of Broadway • Challenges with adding street trees into existing sidewalk west of Broadway Scheme 3 Pros: • Consistent curb-adjacent bicycle circulation system through entire corridor (Class IV cycle track west of Broadway and Class II bike lane east of Broadway) Cons: • Requires curb relocation closer to homes between East Park Lane and Fire Station 1 • Requires undergrounding of the overhead utilities east of East Park Lane prior to implementation of improvements • No changes to existing narrow sidewalk west of Broadway • Challenges with adding street trees into existing sidewalk west of Broadway • Impacts to parking Consistent improvements provided by all three schemes include a reduc- tion in lanes to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian facilities, landscape parkways with additional planting and new street trees, and public realm amenities including plazas with seating areas. Following discussion of the different alternatives and schemes generated subsequent to Workshop #1, the MIG design team created two refined concepts for review at Workshop #2. • Concept A: Shared multi-use path (Class I) over entire length of cor- ridor separated from parking and vehicular travel by a landscaped parkway with new street trees • Concept B: Buffered bike lanes (Class IV) in the street between the parking and curbs WORKSHOP #2 (MARCH 11, 2017) Workshop #2 was held on Saturday, March 11, 2017 on the closed west- bound lanes of F Street, in front of the Civic Center, between Fourth Avenue and Fire Station 1. Approximately 65 people attended. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an update on the F Street Prom- enade project and gather input on the two design alternatives, Concept A and Concept B. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 672 21F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN The workshop was set up as a “pop up style” workshop, which is a tem- porary onsite installation that gives residents and stakeholders an oppor- tunity to experience and evaluate public realm improvements. A demon- stration of proposed roadway reconfiguration with protected bike lane was implemented on F Street using reflector tape and traffic cones. Bikes were available for participants to try out the demonstration facility. There were over 15 boards with graphics displayed. City staff and MIG project team members were on-hand to discuss the graphics and present Concepts A and B to attendees. Graphics that were presented include: project overview, existing conditions, design elements determined by the initial community input questionnaire and Workshop #1, Concept A and B site plans, rendered character sketches, roadway cross-sections and enlargement plans for both concepts. For comparison, the fundamental way that Concepts A and B are distinct from each other is the bike lane configuration. Concept A presents a Class I shared multi-use path for all users, separated from vehicular traffic by a parkway (and in some areas, on-street parallel parking). Concept B, on the other hand, presents a Class IV cycle-track (bike lane with buffer) between the curb and on-street parking. The primary format of community feedback was a comment card distrib- uted to each participant. A total of 59 comment cards were received. The comment card requested that each participant list their preferred con- cept, why they chose that concept and the plan elements they preferred of their chosen concept. Based on the feedback received, Concept A was the preferred plan for the majority of participants. The plan amenities that were the top three preferences include bike lanes, crosswalks, and plaza locations.

CiclaVista was held on Third Avenue, between E Street and H Street, where the street was closed to vehicular traffic and opened up to pedestrians, bike riders, and the general community. As part of the information booths that were set up by local organizations, the F Street project team came out to display information boards and advertise the upcoming workshop #3. WORKSHOP #3 (JUNE 8, 2017) The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan Workshop #3 was held on June 8, 2017 in the City Council Chambers to present the preferred alternative plan. The format of the workshop was a Power Point presenta- tion, followed by facilitated community input, and a summary and over- view of the next steps in the project process. The preferred alternative plan was on display, along with supporting graphics, for attendees to review and provide input on. The presentation began with an introduction to the project, review- ing project goals and community input so far. The presentation then reviewed existing conditions, followed by the community input and conceptual design process. The preferred alternative plan was then pre- sented, with a review of several plan details including character sketches, updated roadway cross sections, focus area plans, and additional design features. Proposed enhancements related to circulation, safety, land- scape character, and branding and placemaking were also presented. FACiLiTATED COMMUNiTY iNPUT The facilitated community input consisted of discussion of major topics that are part of the preferred plan, which include bike facilities, place- making, construction of the project, safety, landscape features, transit, land uses, and next steps in the project. Initial comments from attendees revealed that there were several concerns with the multi-use path having one color of paving, as shown in the preferred plan. Instead, attendees indicated preference for a clear distinction in paving color and material to separate bicycle use from pedestrian use. Placemaking comments received include preserving views to the Bayfront, gateway signage that does not compete with Third Avenue placemaking, potentially collabo- rating with local artists for the proposed signage, and preserving the old rail tracks as much as possible. Additional comments related to the aforementioned topics include: • With additional controls at Woodlawn Avenue, avoid reduced visibil- ity and maintain plant material • Do not obscure views west toward the Bayfront • Include low maintenance vegetation with seasonal color in plant palette • Explore incorporating local veterans and recognition of military ser- vice into the Chula Vista history theme • Reuse former railroad bridge (as shown on the plan) • Explore the potential to use the existing rail tracks on F Street for a trolley or streetcar, with connection to the blue line • Concern for the intensity of heavy traffic along the corridor, including the bus, freight trucks, and fire apparatus, which make it difficult to exit residential driveways • Desire for crosswalk between Broadway and 5th Avenue (the Beech intersection is shown as having a crosswalk on the preferred plan) • Underground utilities • Development of a retail corridor, and reinvestment in storefronts Based on community input heard at Workshop #3, the preferred alterna- tive plan was revised in order to develop the final streetscape plan, as shown in Chapter 4.

The final streetscape plan, when implemented, will result in a safer and more attractive F Street corridor that improves the bicycling and walking experience between downtown Chula Vista and the Chula Vista water- front without sacrificing vehicular operations. The Master Plan includes the following specific recommendations: • Protected 12-foot wide multi-use path from Third Avenue to Bay Boulevard • Difference in multi-use path pavement color and texture to distin- guish bicycling and walking areas • High-visibility crosswalks and mid-block crossings • Pedestrian lighting, street trees and parkway planting areas from 4 final streetscape plan Birdseye rendering of proposed F Street improvements, looking east over Interstate 5 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 681 CHULA VISTA F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLANPreferred Plan PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT BANNER POLES (7) GATEWAY COLUMN (2) PLAZA ON FORMER RAIL BRIDGE WITH INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE AND ART LANDMARK BEACON WITH RAIL HISTORY PANELS (4) PROPOSED MID-BLOCK CROSSWALK ON-STREET PARKING PROPOSED STREET TREE, TYP.

The final streetscape plan on pages 30 - 31 il- lustrates the extent, location, and types of overall improvements. PEDESTRiAN iMPROvEMENTS In accordance with community desires, the existing sidewalk will be wid- ened from five feet to 12 feet to create a multi-use path on the north and south sides of F Street that accommodates bicycles and pedestrians. Bulb-outs, which offer a refuge area and shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians are proposed at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, and 5th Avenue. New pedestrian-scaled lighting, street trees and understory planting will be included in the parkway planting areas adjacent to the multi-use path. The new and improved continuous parkway planting area provides a safer separation between bicycles and pedestrians, and vehicular traffic. Integral to the plan are small plaza areas within the public right-of-way that provide seating, shade, and opportunities for interpretive elements. These are proposed on the former railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and at intersections with Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, Fourth Avenue, and Garrett Avenue. All proposed crosswalks would be high-visibility, zebra-striped, continen- tal crosswalks. This reflects the community’s desire for improved and new crosswalks, which can provide a safer crossing for pedestrians as well as a traffic calming effect. The Master Plan proposes new painted crosswalks on all legs at the following controlled intersections: • Bay Boulevard (replace existing crosswalks) • Broadway (replace existing crosswalks) • 5th Avenue (install new crosswalks) • Fourth Avenue (replace existing crosswalks) • Garrett Avenue (replace existing crosswalks) The Master Plan proposes new painted crosswalks on all legs at the fol- lowing uncontrolled intersections: • Woodlawn Avenue • Beech Avenue The Master Plan also proposes two new painted mid-block crosswalks at the following locations: • Between Broadway and Woodlawn Avenue (approximately 560 feet west of Broadway) • Landis Avenue (east side) A warrant analysis would be required in the future to confirm the need for the two proposed mid-block crosswalks and the proposed new cross- walks at Woodlawn Avenue and Beech Avenue. The north side of F Street between Ash Avenue and Beech Avenue currently has a private parking lot that encroaches into the public right of way, which ultimately creates a challenge in providing a consistent multi-use path without reclaiming right of way. As a short term or interim solution to the buildout of the final streetscape plan as shown, the exist- ing sidewalk could be maintained in this block. In order to accommodate bicycle facilities, on-street parking on the north side of the street could EXAMPLES OF iMPROvEMENTS Example of an enhanced crosswalk Example of a shared multi-use path Example of a mid-block crossing 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 684 33F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN be replaced with a Class II bike lane on this block. The multi-use path could then continue west of Ash Avenue and east of Beech Avenue. As a future long term solution, the City should consider exploring opportuni- ties to create a consistent and connected promenade. BiKEWAY iMPROvEMENTS As indicated previously, the proposed improvements for the entire F Street corridor between Third Avenue and Bay Boulevard include a 12-foot wide multi-use path, with designated areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. Due to the constrained width of the F Street bridge over Inter- state 5, this short portion of F Street (250 feet) would be designated as a Class II bikeway. However, the F Street Streetscape Master Plan includes a proposal to utilize the 30-foot wide abandoned railroad bridge as a multi-use path that features signage and placemaking elements. This would serve as a key link to the San Diego Bayshore Bikeway. TRAvEL LANE iMPROvEMENTS Between East Park Lane (the alley just east of Broadway) and the trolley tracks, the Master Plan proposes to reduce the two vehicular travel lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a center turn lane. The reduction from four lanes to three lanes allows for the expanded multi-use path and parkway improvements on the north and south sides between East Park Lane and the Interstate 5 bridge. In addition, a round- about is proposed at the intersection of F Street and Bay Boulevard. There are no proposed reductions in the number of lanes between East Park Lane and Fourth Avenue. Between Fourth Avenue and Garrett Avenue, the two travel lanes in each direction would be reduced to one lane in each direction, which will allow the creation of the 12-foot wide multi-purpose path and parkway. In addition, there are two eastbound lanes between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue that will be reduced to one lane between Garrett Avenue and Landis Avenue to allow for the creation of the 12-foot wide multi-purpose path and parkway. East of Landis Avenue, the right-turn lane onto Third Avenue will be maintained. Designated left turn lanes are maintained at: • Woodlawn Avenue • Broadway • Fourth Avenue • Garrett Avenue • Landis Avenue • Third Avenue WAYFiNDiNG PROGRAM The F Street Streetscape Master Plan includes a program for three types of gateway elements that corresponds to the relative importance and vis- ibility of the intersecting streets. These are envisioned as vertical columns that include lighting and public art. In addition, banners on poles are proposed at the east end of the F Street corridor. The banners will be used to signify the terminus point of the corridor. Banners will employ both seasonal and special event themes as well as reflecting the two main branding themes of Chula Vista History and Chula Vista Nature. This section also includes examples and location of interpretive signage and art, as well as directional signage. The photographs on these pages (32 - 33) illustrate examples of the types of improvements envisioned for F Street. The plan enlargements and sketches on the following six pages illustrates the extent, location, and types of overall improvements at the each of the following areas: • West – from Bay Boulevard to Woodlawn Ave • Central – from 600 feet west of Broadway to Beech Avenue • East – from City Hall to Third Avenue EXAMPLES OF iMPROvEMENTS Example of a tree-lined street Example of bridge enhancements Example of directional signage 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 685 Rail Road Area - Proposed Improvements 34 CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHARACTER SKETCHES: WEST Illustrative view of the shared multi-use path looking west toward the trolley tracks and Bay Boulevard 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 686 CHULA VISTA F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLANPreferred Plan PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT GATEWAY COLUMN (2) PLAZA ON FORMER RAIL BRIDGE WITH INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE AND ART LANDMARK BEACON WITH RAIL HISTORY PANELS (4) ON-STREET PARKING PROPOSED STREET TREE, TYP.

The story telling of this history will be conveyed in gateway monuments, street banners, interpretive signage and art, as described further in the Branding and Placemaking section (Chapter 4). The following is a brief history of this area of Chula Vista that will be used in the story telling opportuni- ties. Chula Vista has a rich history that can be traced back millions of years as evidenced by land and sea fos- sils. In approximately 3000 B.C. Yuman-speaking people began moving into the area. The majority of the Native American Indians in San Diego today are descendants of the Kumeyaay tribe who have lived in the area for hundreds of years. Between 1542 when Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo first sailed into San Diego Harbor, and 1847 when the United States claimed California following the Mexi- can-American war, the area of Chula Vista was largely known for ranching and grazing for cattle and horses. Beginning in the early 1880s, Chula Vista experi- enced rapid settlement and growth, largely as the result of railroad expansion from San Diego and the creation of land settlement with five acre lots and broad 80-foot wide corridors (the width of F Street). Railroad tracks–as evidenced in the middle of F Street west of Broadway today–ran east on F Street, then turned south near Memorial Park, and ended at the CHULA viSTA HiSTORY fruit packing plant located at the southeast corner of K Street. The railroad track remnants on F Street are a reminder of the rail connection between the down- town central business district and the waterfront. A resident, James D. Schulyer, suggested the name Chula Vista for the town and the San Diego Land and Town Company adopted it. Chula Vista can be loosely translated in Spanish as “beautiful view.” In 1888 Sweetwater Dam was constructed, which brought much needed water to Chula Vista and resulted in an agricultural boom that lasted for many decades. For a period, Chula Vista was known as the lemon capital of the world but also was a significant source of celery. Beginning in World War I, Chula Vista and its wa- terfront was an important source of kelp, which was used in making explosives. The kelp processing plant was located on what is now known as Gunpowder Point currently the home of the Living Coast Dis- covery Center, less than a half-mile northwest of the western end of the F Street Promenade. A major provider of aircraft during World War II is the Rohr Aircraft Corporation, which relocated to Chula Vista in early 1941. By 1945, the company employed nearly 10,000 people on the Chula Vista waterfront, just a half-mile southwest of the F Street Promenade. Today the Chula Vista’s waterfront is staged to be- come a major regional and local attraction through new waterfront parks and development. Chula Vista has a rich and extensive history Credit: www.chulavistaca.gov/Examples of local history interpretive displays 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 694 43F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN CONNECTiON TO NATURE The F Street Promenade when fully constructed will result in a significant increase in the number of trees, shrubs and ground cover. Approximately 150 new trees and over 40,000 square feet of new and restored planting areas are proposed. In addition, stormwater will also be directed to existing and proposed planting areas adjacent to the street. These planting and stormwater improvements are great opportunities to emphasize the importance of nature, which the community felt was a strong component to the identity of the F Street Promenade (along with the history of Chula Vista). The physical design of the stormwater and landscape planters creates the setting for interpretation and storytelling of nature. Specific plants will be chosen that can sustain period- ic water inundation, but also periods of drought and low water. The story telling component of the storm water planters includes interpretive plaques and signs that educates the F Street Promenade visitor about the importance of treating stormwater before it en- ters San Diego Bay. The stormwater planters will tell the story of urban runoff and water treatment, and the importance of water quality and the health of the Chula Vista Bayfront and San Diego Bay. The objec- tive is to convey a direct understanding and appre- ciation of stormwater and its impact on the health of the Chula Vista waterfront and San Diego Bay. In addition to the unique planting and health at- tributes of the stormwater planters, many of the proposed plants for the F Street Promenade are CONNECTiON TO NATURE plants that specifically attract insects and improve the amount of pollination. Much of the pollinator habitat in the San Diego area has been lost to agriculture, resource extraction, and urban and suburban development. Pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Pollina- tors include bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds, and bats. Each of us depends on pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of foods we eat. The planting of pollinator plants, which attracts but- terflies and other plants in the F Street Promenade parkways is an excellent way to both increase the amount of pollination, contribute to the balance of natural ecosystems and tell the story about the im- portance of pollination. Cities throughout California and the United States are celebrating the importance of pollination through local programs for children and adults as well as national programs such as the National Pollinator Week, which occurs every June http://pollinator.org/pollinatorweek/. The story telling component of the pollinator plants includes interpretive plaques and signs that educates the F Street Promenade visitor about the importance of pollinator plants. Interpretive and storytelling elements will be incorpo- rated into proposed stormwater planters Pollinator habitat is a significant component of the land- scape 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 695 44 CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN MOBILITY The F Street Promenade, when fully constructed, will result in a safer and more enjoyable experience for pedestrians and bicyclists, without sacrificing vehicu- lar operations. As presented in the existing condi- tions section, F Street today carries a relatively low volume of vehicles, which is not expected to increase significantly under the current Urban Core Specific Plan. To create the multi-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, the existing narrow five to eight-foot wide sidewalk will be widened. West of East Park Lane this will be achieved by reducing the two travel lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a continuous center turn lane. Travel lanes will also be reduced to 11 feet in width (from the existing 13- foot wide lanes). The center turn lane will be 10 feet wide. This will free up a total of 16 feet that will be allocated to the north and south sides, eight feet per side. This results in a 16-foot wide promenade west of Broadway that includes a four-foot wide planting area and 12-foot wide multi-purpose path. Shifting the north and south side curbs eight feet toward the centerline west of East Park Lane may re- quire relocation of the underground utilities, but also provides an opportunity to underground the over- head lines either in the parking lane or travel lane. There is an underground water line approximately 16 feet south of the existing north curb and an under- ground gas line approximately 16 feet north of the existing south curb. Between East Park Lane and Fire Station 1, there are no changes to the travel lanes and no relocation of the existing parking or curbs. The existing five-foot wide sidewalk will be widened to 12 feet by expand- ing into the existing parkway planting area. The park- way planter will be eight feet in width. Between Fire Station 1 and Third Avenue, the final configuration will be one lane in each direction plus turn lanes. Currently, the dimension from the curb line to property line is eight feet. In order to create the 12-foot wide multi-use path, the existing curb will be relocated towards the centerline through either a lane reduction and/or reduction in lane width (similar to the proposed improvements west of Broadway). Shifting the north and south side curbs towards the centerline may require relocation of the underground utilities. This includes underground electrical on the south side, approximately three feet from the existing curb, and a CATV line approximately five feet south of the north curb beginning 150 feet west of Landis Avenue and continuing to Landis Avenue. There are two bus lines operating on F Street. MTS bus line #932 travels on F Street between Woodlawn Avenue and Broadway (one bus stop each side), and MTS bus line #701 travels on F Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue (one bus stop on the north side, and three bus stops on the south side of the street). The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) is contemplating a third line on F Street, bus line #704, which is proposed to be relocated from its current E Street route. If approved, it would oper- ate between Woodlawn Avenue and Third Avenue in both directions. The MTS proposal includes one bus stop on F Street westbound, between Broadway and East Park Lane, and potential stops at Fifth Avenue in both directions, if ridership warrants them. MOBiLiTY MTS is proposing to reroute the current 704 bus route to F Street, from Woodlawn Avenue to Third Avenue 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 696 45F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN SAFETY ELEMENTS The F Street Promenade when fully constructed will result in a safer environment for pedestrians and bicy- clists with the following improvements: Multi-use path: The expanded multi-use path is a widening of the existing sidewalk from five to eight- feet wide to 12 feet wide. It provides a safe route for bicyclists, the majority of whom prefer not to ride in the street with vehicles. Zones for pedestrians and bicyclists will be designated through changes in pav- ing color and texture, as well as signage. Bicyclists and pedestrians will share the 12-foot wide multi-use path. Landscape parkway buffer: Between the multi-use path and the street will be a continuous landscaped parkway buffer ranging from four feet to eight feet wide. This provides added protection between bicy- clists and moving vehicles. West of Broadway, where there is currently no landscape parkway, the ex- panded sidewalk and new four-foot wide landscape buffer will provide added safety and buffer between vehicles entering and exiting the existing driveways between Broadway and the trolley tracks. Crosswalks: All proposed crosswalks would be high- visibility, zebra-striped, continental crosswalks. This reflects the community’s desire for improved and new crosswalks, which can provide a safer crossing for pedestrians as well as a traffic calming effect. Bulbouts: Bulbouts provide a reduced crossing distance between corners, provide opportunities for stormwater collection and planting areas, and as- sist in traffic calming. Bulbouts are proposed at key intersections, including Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Bulbouts are also proposed at the mid-block crossing just west of Broadway. Lighting: New pedestrian lighting is proposed along the entire corridor on both sides of F Street to aug- ment the existing high illumination lighting located at the intersections and on the overhead utility poles. All lighting will follow the recommendations outlined in the Urban Core Specific Plan and will utilize current City of Chula Vista lighting standards. All new lighting will utilize a consistent pole and luminaire to minimize added maintenance and operations costs. Former Rail Bridge: The proposed improvements would include the adaptive reuse of the former rail bridge as the main pedestrian crossing over Inter- state 5. Due primarily to the proximity of the former rail bridge to the trolley tracks, substantial close co- ordination with stakeholder agencies, including MTA, the California Public Utilities Commission, and Cal- Trans, will be necessary to ensure the safety of users. As part of the development of the master plan rec- ommendations, preliminary coordination with related agencies has resulted in two viable alternatives for the pedestrian and bicycle trolley crossing. The first alternative is shown on the final streetscape plan on pages 30-31. This crossing consists of utiliz- ing the existing footprint of the bridge, with a per- pendicular connection to the promenade directly west of the trolley tracks. Additional requirements for this crossing would include: • Adequate overhead illumination on each side of the trolley tracks SAFETY ELEMENTS Example of a multi-use path with bicycle and pedestrian traffic separation Bulb-outs and continental crosswalks will make it safer for pedestrians to cross the street 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 697 46 CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN • The consideration of a fully gated and channel- ized pedestrian design on both the north and south sides of F Street • Gate-type warning devices, and additional pe- destrian warning devices • Additional supplemental flashing light signals • Potential alterations to the existing warning de- vices The second alternative trolley crossing provides a direct path across the trolley tracks, essentially ex- tending the former rail bridge path straight across the tracks and creating a separate crossing from the proposed multi-use path. This alternative would re- quire the relocation of existing utilities, in addition to the following requirements: • Adequate overhead illumination on each side of the trolley tracks • The consideration of a fully gated and channel- ized pedestrian design on both the north and south sides of F Street • Gate-type warning devices • Channelize all users to the separate crossing from the former rail bridge, and consider closing the sidewalk area at the track crossing • Encourage pedestrian traffic to use the track crossing on the north side of the street as op- posed to the south side of the street • Any proposed vertical improvements, such as fencing or planting, may warrant a hazard analysis to prevent unintended consequences associated with visibility for rail traffic, pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles interfacing in this area Additionally, for both alternatives, MTS has provided the following specifications: • Landscaping must not block train operators view of pedestrians • No landscaping within the MTS right of way • Any grade crossing modifications must be engi- neered by an MTS approved firm • Any modification of the grade crossing warning system must meet the most current design stan- dards As the Master Plan is implemented, the City will con- tinue to work with stakeholder agencies to determine the best and safest trolley track crossing solution. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 698 Rail Road Area - Proposed Improvements 47F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN STREETSCAPE TREATMENT A number of enhanced streetscape treatments are proposed for F Street Promenade. Streetscape treat- ments, specifically a variety of paving material tex- tures and finishes, help distinguish the different use zones that make up the multi-modal corridor. Differ- ent streetscape treatments are provided for the multi- use path, plazas, crosswalks, and intersections. MULTi-USE PATH The 12-foot wide multi-use path is intended for pedestrians and bicycle users. The purpose of the paving treatment for the multi-use path is to safely accommodate different users by providing visual cues to bring awareness to the shared space, such as color and texture. The multi-use path paving will incorporate two sepa- rate 1-foot wide bands that distinguish the bicycle zone from the pedestrian zone. The 1-foot wide bands will be integral colored concrete or stone unit pavers, to provide the visual cue necessary to safely accommodate bicycle users and pedestrians. The paving of the bicycle and pedestrian zones of the multi-use path will both be a concrete material. The bicycle zone will have a light sandblast finish, in order to provide a smooth, comfortable ride. The pedes- trian zone, however, will feature a lightly-exposed aggregate finish. PLAZAS The proposed plazas are special areas off the multi- use path that provide opportunity for place-making. Plazas are located on the former railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and at intersections with Woodlawn Av- enue, Broadway, Fourth Avenue, and Garrett Avenue, and will feature enhanced paving, interpretive sig- nage, seating, pedestrian-scale lighting, and art. The paving will consist of stone unit pavers. CROSSWALKS Crosswalks will feature zebra-striped continental crosswalks for safety and high visibility. iNTERSECTiON TREATMENTS Special paving, such as vehicular-rated unit pavers or colored paving, are proposed for selected intersec- tions, including Bay Boulevard, Woodlawn Avenue, and Broadway.

Stormwater planters: West of East Park Lane and east of the Fire Station, where existing curbs are being relocated closer towards the centerline to create the multi-use path, stormwater runoff will be directed to the new landscape parkways with narrow curb cuts. Between East Park Lane and the Fire Station there are a number of areas where there is no parking, typi- cally adjacent to a driveway. The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan proposes to remove these extra areas of asphalt and convert them to planted bioswales (see before and after images this page). Stormwater will flow directly into these surface plant- ers via curb cuts. Porous paving: The F Street project will utilize po- rous paving such as decomposed granite paving at all seating areas and mini-parks. This will allow stormwater to flow directly into the subsurface soils. In addition, porous concrete can be used in specific locations where stability and structural integrity is re- quired but stormwater infiltration is desired, possibly for portions of the multi-use path. Structural soil: For the four-foot wide landscape park- ways west of Broadway, the F Street promenade will utilize structural soil or some other system that will al- low the tree roots to extend below the multi-purpose path without disrupting the paving with surface roots. This will allow the larger trees for the parkway that are typically associated with six-foot-wide parkways. Lighting: All new lighting will feature current Chula Vista lighting standards and glare cutoffs, which will minimize energy consumption and light pollution onto neighboring property. Landscape maintenance and irrigation: The health and longevity of the proposed parkway street trees and plant material will be an imperative component to the recommended F Street improvements. The landscape parkway will allow for the installation of highly efficient and moisture responsive irrigation systems that ultimately will be a cost-effective solu- tion for the homeowners and the City, and provide a healthier growing condition for the trees and under- story planting. New irrigation systems will also virtu- ally eliminate water spillage onto adjacent hardscape areas because of irrigation technology. A viable mechanism for the City to consider for park- way landscape maintenance is the establishment of a landscape maintenance district. Per section 5610 of the CA Streets and Highways Code, adjacent prop- erty owners are responsible for maintenance of the parkways in front of their property. However, in order to maintain a consistent and uniform appearance throughout the corridor, the City may consider the formation of a landscape maintenance district for F Street, or give further consideration of a landscaping and lighting maintenance district for the western por- tions of the City. All plant material will be selected for low-water usage and low-maintenance requirements. This will save homeowners and the City money, and minimize the use of gasoline and gas-powered leaf blowers, which individually can add more pollution to the air than Stormwater planter examples Existing red curb areas are identified as potential loca- tions for stormwater planters 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 700 49F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN LANDSCAPE FEATURES over two dozen cars (source: City of Del Mar, CA) Construction practices: As the F Street Promenade project moves into detailed design and construction, recommendations will be included for incorporat- ing sustainable practices into construction. This will include the use of high recycled content furnishings and equipment such as concrete paving, light poles, bike racks and benches. LANDSCAPE FEATURES The F Street Promenade will include a variety of plant material that meets important planting design objec- tives: • Provide shade and overhead canopy (trees) • Reinforce key intersections and gateways (trees) • Material selection appropriate to the size of the planting area (all plants) • Utilize a combination of deciduous and evergreen trees • Maintain sight lines at intersections (all plants) • Provide year-round flowering and seasonal inter- est (all plants) • Attract pollinator insects such as butterflies and moths (shrubs) • Utilize drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plants (all plants) • Preserve existing trees where possible • Utilize stormwater plants that can sustain water inundation and assist in cleansing stormwater The following two pages (50 - 51) are images of the specific plant materials that are recommended for use in the planting areas. The final streetscape plan, the enlargement plans, and sketches (pages 30 – 39), illustrate how plant material will contribute to the overall beautification of the F Street Promenade.

Branding and placemaking is an important component to the streetscape plan that will provide an important sense of identity and recognition to the F Street Prom- enade. The branding and placemaking elements will incorporate the themes of Chula Vista history and nature as expressed by the community. Key design objectives of the branding and placemak- ing elements include: • Provide visual interest that works in conjunction with the design of the landscape, paving, and seating areas • Create a family of related branding and place- making elements throughout the corridor that provide an overall identity to the F Street Prom- enade • Complement the existing gateway columns at the Fourth Street intersection • Celebrate local history and nature in gateway and neighborhood monuments, street banners, and interpretive panels • Engage local artists in the design of art integrated into the branding and placemaking elements • Provide specific directional wayfinding informa- tion to landmarks such as the E Street Trolley Sta- tion and Third Avenue • Utilize a special pavement treatment such as paint or paving materials at the Bay Boulevard, Woodlawn Avenue, and Broadway intersections in recognition of these streets as major north-south street along the F Street corridor Specific branding and placemaking element exam- ples are illustrated on pages 52 - 55, and include the following: A. Large monument gateway columns (15 feet to 18 feet high) that utilize internal lighting with artist design mosaic bases located at Bay Boulevard and Third Avenue, the west and east entrances to the corridor B. Medium monument neighborhood columns (8 feet to 12 feet high) with artist design mosaic bases located on the Railroad bridge over Inter- state 5 C. Small monument neighborhood columns (4 feet to 6 feet high) located at Beech Avenue, 5th Av- enue and near Fire Station 1. D. Pole-Mounted Street Banners located on the north side of F Street between Landis Avenue and Third Avenue, near the east entrance of the corridor E. Interpretive signage and art elements located at Bay Boulevard, Railroad bridge over Interstate 5, Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, Fourth Avenue, and Garrett Avenue F. Directional signage located at Broadway, 5th Av- enue, near Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue Additionally, conceptual street furnishing examples are shown on page 57.

All proposed improvements will be noted on a single set of four base sheets and will include improvement notes directly on the plans. Prelimi- nary construction details for paving and planting improvements, furnish- ings matrix including identification of specific products and quantity, and plant list will also be provided as part of preliminary design. An estimated probable cost of construction will also be included based on the prelimi- nary design drawings. The F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan builds on the previous planning efforts provided by the Urban Core Specific Plan. The master plan serves as the first step in creating an implementation mechanism of improvements. Additional implementation mechanisms for the City to consider include funding and phasing. FUNDiNG The funding for the F Street master plan and preliminary construction documents has been provided by the SANDAG Active Transportation Grant Program. The City should continue to explore a variety of federal, state, and local agency grant programs for the implementation of the F Street improvements. A key consideration for implementation of improvements is long term maintenance. The City should consider establishing a landscape main- tenance district in order to provide for the general upkeep and mainte- nance of the proposed parkway areas and design features. IMPLEMENTATION Following adoption of the F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan by Chula Vista City Council in January 2018, the MIG team will proceed directly into preliminary design documents. This stage will advance the master plan to approximately 30% complete construction documents. Completion of the preliminary design documents following City Council approval of the Master Plan will provide a greater sense of the extent and costs and phasing of improvements. During preparation of the prelimi- nary design documents, the City of Chula Vista can make additional ar- rangements for funding of the final design, engineering and construction of the streetscape improvements. During the preliminary design phase, the MIG team will review and de- termine recommendations for the following items: • Specific areas of curb and underground utility relocation required to implement the Master Plan • Extent and phasing of the undergrounding of overhead utilities • Multi-use path pedestrian and bicycle pavement materials, textures, and finishes • Relocation of small surface appurtenances within the right-of-way (generally between back of existing sidewalks and property line) including irrigation heads and valve boxes, electrical, water, and com- munication utility boxes, backflow preventers, fire hydrants, fences, signs, low walls, etc. • Extent of existing trees within the right-of-way to be removed, re- placed and /or transplanted • Alternatives for phasing of construction improvements • Recommended location of new street trees including size and species • Recommended location of parkway planting areas and identification of understory planting mix • Specific areas and sizes of stormwater planters within the parkway Third Avenue is a successful example of recent improvements 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 710 59F STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 4: FINAL STREETSCAPE PLAN Another funding mechanism is coordinating the construction of streetscape improvements with future private infill development along F Street. This would allow incremental implementation of the plan as new development is proposed. PHASiNG Through the development and completion of preliminary construction documents for F Street, the City should identify viable phasing of con- struction of the project. For example, the phasing of construction can coincide with capital improvement projects related to F Street, such as the undergrounding of overhead utilities. The preliminary design phase will provide further opportunity to determine pertinent phasing of con- struction. 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 711 602018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 712 RESOLUTION NO.

SANDAG reserves the right to use the information provided by the Grantee for any combination of the following, including but not limited to: social media posts, online photo albums, videos, press releases, PowerPoint presentations, web updates, newsletters, and testimonials. In submitting photos to SANDAG, the Grantee agrees that the photos have been obtained with the consent of all persons featured in the photo (or that of a parent or guardian of persons under the age of 18) using the SANDAG Photo and Testimonial Release form to be provided by SANDAG, or a similar release form developed by Grantee and agreed upon by SANDAG, and to release the rights of the photos to SANDAG for its use. 8.Project Signage and Designation of TransNet Funded Facilities. Each capital project of $250,000 or more funded in whole or in part by revenues from the TransNet Extension Ordinance shall be clearly designated during its construction or implementation as being provided by revenues from the TransNet Extension Ordinance. Grantee agrees to follow the project signage specifications and to install appropriately sized signs in the quantity called for by the TransNet Signage Guide (provided by SANDAG). Grantee agrees to follow sign specifications and submit proof files to SANDAG for approval before production. 9.Baseline Data Collection. For capital projects, Grantee is required to coordinate with SANDAG staff on the development of a baseline data collection plan in accordance with the Project Implementation and Oversight Requirements. B.Application of Laws Should a federal or state law pre-empt a local law, regulation, or the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the Grantee must comply with the federal or state law and implementing regulations. No provision of this Agreement requires the Grantee to observe or enforce compliance with any provision, perform any other act, or do any other task in contravention of federal, state, territorial, or local law, regulation, or ordinance. If compliance with any provision of this Agreement violates or would require the Grantee to violate any law, the Grantee agrees to notify SANDAG immediately in writing. Should this occur, SANDAG and the Grantee agree that they will make appropriate arrangements to proceed with or, if necessary, terminate the Project or affected portions thereof expeditiously. C.Changes in Project Performance The Grantee agrees to notify SANDAG immediately, in writing, of any change in local law, conditions (including its legal, financial, or technical capacity), or any other event that may adversely affect the Grantee's ability to perform the Project in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and as required by Board Policy No. 035. The Grantee also agrees to notify SANDAG immediately, in writing, of any current or prospective major dispute, breach, default, or litigation that may adversely affect SANDAG's interests in the Project; and agrees to inform CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 725 7 SANDAG, also in writing, before naming SANDAG as a party to litigation for any reason, in any forum. At a minimum, the Grantee agrees to send each notice to SANDAG required by this subsection to SANDAG’s Office of General Counsel. D.Notice Regarding Prevailing Wages This Project is funded in whole or in part by TransNet revenues consistent with the TransNet Extension Ordinance adopted by the voters in November 2004 (SANDAG Ordinance 04-01). Although SANDAG Ordinance 04-01 does not require payment of prevailing wages, California law may require that Grantee’s public works projects pay prevailing wages for workers. Grantee acknowledges that SANDAG has strongly encouraged Grantee to seek legal counsel regarding whether the Project will be subject to prevailing wage laws consistent with Labor Code Section 1720, et seq. This Agreement requires Grantee’s compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances as applicable. E.Standard of Care Grantee expressly warrants that the work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the applicable standard of care. Where approval by SANDAG, its Executive Director, or other representative of SANDAG is indicated in the Scope of Work, it is understood to be conceptual approval only and does not relieve the Grantee of responsibility for complying with all laws, codes, industry standards, and liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions, noncompliance with industry standards, or the willful misconduct of the Grantee or its subgrantees. F.Third-Party Contracting Although the Grantee may delegate any or almost all Project responsibilities to one or more third-party contractors, the Grantee agrees that it, rather than any third-party contractor, is ultimately responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and this Agreement. 1.Competitive Procurement. Grantee shall not award contracts over $3,000 on the basis of a noncompetitive procurement for work to be performed under this Agreement without the prior written approval of SANDAG. Contracts awarded by Grantee, if intended as local match credit, must meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement regarding local match funds. If Grantee hires a third-party contractor to carry out work funded under this Agreement, Grantee shall: prepare an Independent Cost Estimate prior to soliciting proposals/bids; publicly advertise for competing proposals/bids for the work; for professional services, use cost as an evaluation factor in selecting the third-party contractor and for construction services, award the work to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; document a Record of Negotiation establishing that the amount paid by Grantee for the work is fair and reasonable; and pass through the relevant obligations in this Agreement to the contractor. 2.Debarment. Grantee shall execute and cause their third-party contractors to execute debarment and suspension certificates stating they have not been disqualified from doing business with government entities. CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 726 8 3.Flowdown. Grantee agrees to take appropriate measures necessary, including the execution of a subagreement, lease, third-party contract, or other, to ensure that all Project participants, including alternate payees or third-party contractors at any tier, comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, policies affecting Project implementation and Agreement requirements. In addition, if an entity other than the Grantee is expected to fulfill any responsibilities typically performed by the Grantee, the Grantee agrees to assure that the entity carries out the Grantee’s responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement. 4.No SANDAG Obligations to Third-Parties. In connection with the Project, the Grantee agrees that SANDAG shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities to any subgrantee, lessee, third-party contractor at any tier or other person or entity that is not a party to the Agreement for the Project. Notwithstanding that SANDAG may have concurred in or approved any solicitation, subagreement, lease, alternate payee designation, or third-party contract at any tier, SANDAG has no obligations or liabilities to any entity other than the Grantee. 5.Equipment Purchases. Grantee shall maintain ownership of any equipment purchased using Agreement funding and shall use such the equipment only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. The parties agree to meet and confer in good faith to ensure the continued use of the equipment for the purposes intended, which may include reimbursement to SANDAG when the fair market value of the equipment at Project completion exceeds $5,000. SANDAG and Grantee agree that Grantee shall keep an inventory record for each piece of equipment purchased under this Agreement and maintain each piece of equipment in good operating order consistent with the purposes for which they were intended. SANDAG shall have the right to conduct periodic maintenance inspections for the purpose of confirming the existence, condition, and proper maintenance of the equipment. VII.ETHICS A.Grantee Code of Conduct/Standards of Conduct The Grantee agrees to maintain a written code of conduct or standards of conduct that shall govern the actions of its officers, employees, council or board members, or agents engaged in the award or administration of subagreements, leases, or third-party contracts supported with grant funding. The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall specify that its officers, employees, council or board members, or agents may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from any present or potential subgrantee, lessee, or third-party contractor at any tier or agent thereof. The Grantee may set de minimis rules where the financial interest is not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value. The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall also prohibit its officers, employees, board members, or agents from using their respective positions in a manner that presents a real or apparent personal or organizational conflict of interest or personal gain. As permitted by state or local law or regulations, the Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall include penalties, CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 727 9 sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by its officers, employees, council or board members, or their agents, or its third-party contractors or subgrantees or their agents. B.Personal Conflicts of Interest The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall prohibit the Grantee's employees, officers, council or board members, or agents from participating in the selection, award, or administration of any third-party contract or subagreement supported by grant funding if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when an employee, officer, board member, or agent, including any member of his or her immediate family, partner, or organization that employs, or intends to employ, any of the parties listed herein has a financial interest in a firm competing for award. C.Organizational Conflicts of Interest The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational conflicts of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed third-party contract or subagreement may, without some restrictions on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third-party contractor or subgrantee or impair its objectivity in performing the contract work. D.SANDAG Code of Conduct SANDAG has established policies concerning potential conflicts of interest. These policies apply to Grantee. For all awards by SANDAG, any practices which might result in unlawful activity are prohibited including, but not limited to, rebates, kickbacks, or other unlawful considerations. SANDAG staff members are specifically prohibited from participating in the selection process when those staff have a close personal relationship, family relationship, or past (within the last 12 months), present, or potential business or employment relationship with a person or business entity seeking a contract with SANDAG. It is unlawful for any contract to be made by SANDAG if any individual Board member or staff has a prohibited financial interest in the contract. Staff also are prohibited from soliciting or accepting gratuities from any organization seeking funding from SANDAG. SANDAG’s officers, employees, agents, and board members shall not solicit or accept gifts, gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from consultants, potential consultants, or parties to subagreements. By signing this Agreement, Grantee affirms that it has no knowledge of an ethical violation by SANDAG staff or Grantee. If Grantee has any reason to believe a conflict of interest exists with regard to the Agreement or the Project, it should notify the SANDAG Office of General Counsel immediately. E.Bonus or Commission The Grantee affirms that it has not paid, and agrees not to pay, any bonus or commission to obtain approval of its grant funding application for the Project. F.False or Fraudulent Statements or Claims The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that by executing the Agreement for the Project, the Grantee certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of each statement it has made, it CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 728 10 makes, or it may make in connection with the Project, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s grant application, progress reports and invoices. VIII. PAYMENTS A.Method of Payment The method of payment for this Agreement will be based upon actual allowable costs described herein. B.Alternate Payee If the Grantee designates a party as an Alternate Payee, Alternate Payee is authorized to submit payment requests directly to SANDAG to receive reimbursement for allowable Project costs. This does not alleviate Grantee from all obligations under this Grant Agreement. C.Invoicing Grantee or Alternate Payee is required to submit invoices quarterly. Invoices must be accompanied by a quarterly report (template to be provided by SANDAG). SANDAG will make payments for eligible amounts to Grantee or Alternate Payee as promptly as SANDAG fiscal procedures permit upon receipt of Grantee’s or Alternate Payee’s itemized signed invoice(s). SANDAG shall retain 10 percent from the amounts invoiced until satisfactory completion of work. SANDAG shall promptly pay retention amounts to Grantee or Alternate Payee following satisfactory completion of work, receipt of final invoice, and all required documentation. D.Eligible Costs The Grantee agrees that Project costs eligible for grant funding must comply with the following requirements, unless SANDAG determines otherwise in writing. To be eligible for reimbursement, Project costs must be: 1.Consistent with the Project Scope of Work, the Approved Project Budget, and other provisions of the Agreement. 2.Necessary in order to accomplish the Project. 3.Reasonable for the goods or services purchased. 4.Actual net costs to the Grantee (i.e., the price paid minus any refunds, rebates, or other items of value received by the Grantee that have the effect of reducing the cost actually incurred, excluding program income). Project generated revenue realized by the Grantee shall be used in support of the Project. Project generated revenue and expenditures, if any, shall be reported at the end of the Agreement period. 5.Incurred for work performed on or after the SANDAG Notice to Proceed date, and before the termination date, and also must have been paid for by the Grantee. 6.Satisfactorily documented with supporting documentation, which is to be submitted with each invoice. CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 729 11 7.Treated consistently in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and procedures for the Grantee and any third-party contractors and subgrantees, (see Section entitled “Accounting Records”). 8.Eligible for grant funding as part of the grant program through which the funds were awarded. 9.Indirect Costs are only allowable with prior SANDAG approval. Grantee must submit the following documentation as part of the grant application materials: (1) an indirect cost allocation audit approved by a qualified independent auditor or (2) the applicant’s proposed method for allocating indirect costs in accordance with federal guidelines. Indirect cost allocation plans must be reviewed and renewed annually. E.Excluded Costs Certain costs associated with bike and pedestrian projects that do not directly benefit people walking and biking are ineligible. These ineligible expenses include, but are not limited to: curb, gutter, and other drainage improvements; newly installed driveway ramps; roadway shoulders, where roadway design standards require a roadway shoulder width at least as wide as would be required for a standard bike lane; and any required element under a different capital improvement project other than the Project. Expenses related to the replacement of existing infrastructure as a result of Project work may be eligible for reimbursement, but Grantee will be required to justify the necessary inclusion of such improvements prior to requesting reimbursement. The Grantee understands and agrees that payment to the Grantee for any Project cost does not constitute SANDAG’s final decision about whether that cost is allowable and eligible for payment under the Project and does not constitute a waiver of any violation by the Grantee of the terms of this Agreement or Board Policy No. 035. The Grantee acknowledges that SANDAG will not make a final determination about the allowability and eligibility of any cost until the final payment has been made on the Project or the results of an audit of the Project requested by SANDAG or its Independent Taxpayers’ Oversight Committee (ITOC) has been completed, whichever occurs latest. If SANDAG determines that the Grantee is not entitled to receive any portion of the grant funding requested or paid, SANDAG will notify the Grantee in writing, stating its reasons. The Grantee agrees that Project closeout will not alter the Grantee's responsibility to return any funds due to SANDAG as a result of later refunds, corrections, performance deficiencies, or other similar actions; nor will Project closeout alter SANDAG's right to disallow costs and recover funds provided for the Project on the basis of a later audit or other review. Upon notification to the Grantee that specific amounts are owed to SANDAG, whether for excess payments of grant funding, disallowed costs, or funds recovered from third parties or elsewhere, the Grantee agrees to promptly remit to SANDAG the amounts owed, including applicable interest, penalties and administrative charges. IX. ACCOUNTING, REPORTING, RECORD RETENTION, AND ACCESS A.Project Accounts The Grantee and/or Alternate Payee agree to establish and maintain for the Project either a separate set of accounts or separate accounts within the framework of an established accounting system that can be identified with the Project. The Grantee and/or Alternate CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 730 12 Payee also agree to maintain documentation of all checks, payrolls, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders, or other accounting documents related in whole or in part to the Project so that they may be clearly identified, readily accessible, and available to SANDAG upon request and, to the extent feasible, kept separate from documents not related to the Project. B.Reports The Grantee agrees to submit to SANDAG all reports required by law and regulation, policy, this Agreement, and any other reports SANDAG may specify. SANDAG reserves the right to specify that records be submitted in particular formats. C.Quarterly Reports Grantee shall submit written quarterly reports to SANDAG detailing the progress of its work, expenditures incurred, and information regarding whether the Project is projected to be completed within the limits of the Approved Project Budget, Project Schedule, and consistent with Board Policy No. 035 and any policy amendments thereto. Grantee shall document the progress and results of work performed under this Agreement to the satisfaction of SANDAG. This includes progress and final reports, plans, specifications, estimates, and other evidence of attainment of the Agreement objectives, which are requested by SANDAG or ITOC. Grantee may be required to attend meetings of SANDAG staff and committees, including but not limited to ITOC, the Regional Planning Committee, the Transportation Committee, and the SANDAG Board of Directors, to report on its progress and respond to questions. D.Record Retention During the course of the Project and for three years thereafter from the date of transmission of the final expenditure report, the Grantee agrees to maintain, intact and readily accessible, all communications, data, documents, reports, records, contracts, and supporting materials relating to the Project, as SANDAG may require. All communications and information provided to SANDAG become the property of SANDAG and public records, as such, may be subject to public review. Please see SANDAG’s Board Policy 015: Records Management Policy, which is available at www.sandag.org/legal, for information regarding the treatment of documents designated as confidential. E.Access to Records of Grantees and Subgrantees The Grantee agrees to permit, and require its subgrantees to permit, SANDAG or its authorized representatives, upon request, to inspect all Project work, materials, payrolls, and other data, and to audit the books, records, and accounts of the Grantee and its subgrantees pertaining to the Project. F.Communities Served Data and Reporting If requested, Grantee shall provide SANDAG with data regarding how the Project’s benefits and burdens were equitably distributed among socio and economic populations in the area affected by the Project, and associated smart growth data, and/or any other relevant information. CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 731 13 X. PROJECT COMPLETION, AUDIT, SETTLEMENT, AND CLOSEOUT A.Project Completion Within 90 calendar days following Project completion or termination by SANDAG, the Grantee agrees to submit a final certification of Project expenses and final reports, as applicable. All payments made to the Grantee shall be subject to review for compliance by SANDAG with the requirements of this Agreement and shall be subject to an audit upon completion of the Project. B.Project Audit Note to Grant Recipient: Only the applicable sections will be included. For TransNet-funded projects: The Grantee agrees to have financial and compliance audits performed as SANDAG may require consistent with the TransNet Extension Ordinance. The Grantee agrees that Project closeout will not alter the Grantee's audit responsibilities. Audit costs are allowable Project costs. For TDA-funded projects: The Grantee agrees to have financial and compliance audits performed as SANDAG may require consistent with Public Utilities Code Section 99245, for TDA funds; and consistent with the TransNet Extension Ordinance for TransNet funds. The Grantee agrees that Project closeout will not alter the Grantee's audit responsibilities. Audit costs are allowable Project costs. C.Performance Audit The Grantee agrees to cooperate with SANDAG or ITOC with regard to any performance audit that is performed on the Project pursuant to the TransNet Ordinance. D.Project Closeout Project closeout occurs when SANDAG notifies the Grantee that SANDAG has closed the Project, and, if applicable, either forwards the final grant funding payment and or acknowledges that the Grantee has remitted the proper refund. The Grantee agrees that Project closeout by SANDAG does not invalidate any continuing requirements imposed by the Agreement or any unmet requirements set forth in a written notification from SANDAG. E.Project Use Grantee was awarded this Agreement based on representations in its grant application regarding the Project’s intended use. If the Project is a capital project, Grantee hereby commits to continued use of the Project for the purposes stated in its application for a period of at least five years after completion of construction. SANDAG may require Grantee to refund grant funding provided for the Project in the event Grantee fails to use the Project for its intended purposes as stated in the grant application or for any disallowed costs. CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 732 14 XI. TIMELY PROGRESS AND RIGHT OF SANDAG TO TERMINATE A.Grantee shall make diligent and timely progress toward completion of the Project within the timelines set forth in the Project Schedule, and consistent with Board Policy No. 035 and any policy amendments thereto. B.In the event Grantee encounters or anticipates difficulty in meeting the Project Schedule, the Grantee shall immediately notify the SANDAG Project Manager in writing, and shall provide pertinent details, including the reason(s) for the delay in performance and the date by which Grantee expects to complete performance or delivery. This notification shall be informational in character only and receipt of it shall not be construed as a waiver by SANDAG of a project delivery schedule or date, or any rights or remedies provided by this Agreement, including Board Policy No. 035 requirements. C.Grantee agrees that SANDAG, at its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate all or any part of the grant funding if the Grantee fails to make reasonable progress on the Project and/or violates the terms of the Agreement or Board Policy No. 035, or if SANDAG determines that the purpose of the laws or policies authorizing the Project would not be adequately served by the continuation of grant funding for the Project. D.In general, termination of grant funding for the Project will not invalidate obligations properly incurred by the Grantee before the termination date to the extent those obligations cannot be canceled. If, however, SANDAG determines that the Grantee has willfully misused grant funding by failing to make adequate progress, or failing to comply with the terms of the Agreement, SANDAG reserves the right to require the Grantee to refund to SANDAG the entire amount of grant funding provided for the Project or any lesser amount as SANDAG may determine. E.Expiration of any Project time period established in the Project Schedule will not, by itself, automatically constitute an expiration or termination of the Agreement for the Project, however, Grantee must request and SANDAG may agree to amend the Agreement in writing if the Project Schedule will not be met. An amendment to the Project Schedule may be made at SANDAG’s discretion if Grantee’s request is consistent with the provisions of Board Policy No. 035. XII. CIVIL RIGHTS The Grantee agrees to comply with all applicable civil rights laws, regulations and policies and shall include the provisions of this section in each subagreement, lease, third-party contract or other legally binding document to perform work funded by this Agreement. Applicable civil rights laws, regulations and policies include, but are not limited to, the following: A.Nondiscrimination SANDAG implements its programs without regard to income level, disability, race, color, and national origin in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

Nothing in this Policy is intended to supersede federal or state grant rules, regulations, statutes, or contract documents that conflict with the requirements in this Policy. There are never enough government grant funds to pay for all of the projects worthy of funding in the San Diego region. For this reason, SANDAG awards grant funds on a competitive basis that takes the grantees’ ability to perform their proposed project on a timely basis into account. SANDAG intends to hold grantees accountable to the project schedules they have proposed in order to ensure fairness in the competitive process and encourage grantees to get their projects implemented quickly so that the public can benefit from the project deliverables as soon as possible. Procedures 1. Project Milestone and Completion Deadlines 1.1. When signing a grant agreement for a competitive program funded and/or administered by SANDAG, grant recipients must agree to the project delivery objectives and schedules in the agreement. In addition, a grantee’s proposal must contain a schedule that falls within the following deadlines. Failure to meet the deadlines below may result in revocation of all grant funds not already expended. The final invoice for capital, planning, or operations grants must be submitted prior to the applicable deadline. 1.1.1. Funding for Capital Projects. If the grant will fund a capital project, the project must be completed according to the schedule provided in the grant agreement, but at the latest, any necessary construction contract must be awarded within two years following execution of the grant agreement, and construction must be completed within eighteen months following award of the construction contract. Completion of construction for purposes of this policy shall be when the prime construction contractor is relieved from its maintenance responsibilities. If no construction contract award is necessary, the construction project must be complete within eighteen months following execution of the grant agreement. 1.1.2. Funding for Planning Grants. If the grant will fund planning, the project must be completed according to the schedule provided in the grant agreement, but at the latest, any necessary consultant contract must be awarded within one year following execution of the grant agreement, and the planning project must be complete within two years following award of the consultant contract. Completion CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 740 22 of planning for purposes of this policy shall be when grantee approves the final planning project deliverable. If no consultant contract award is necessary, the planning project must be complete within two years of execution of the grant agreement. 1.1.3 Funding for Operations Grants. If the grant will fund operations, the project must be completed according to the schedule provided in the grant agreement, but at the latest, any necessary services contract for operations must be awarded within one year following execution of the grant agreement, and the operations must commence within six months following award of the operations contract. If no services contract for operations is necessary, the operations project must commence within one year of execution of the grant agreement. 1.1.4 Funding for Equipment or Vehicles Grants. If the grant will fund equipment or vehicles, the project must be completed according to the schedule provided in the grant agreement, but at the latest, any necessary purchase contracts for equipment or vehicles must be awarded within one year following execution of the grant agreement, and use of the equipment or vehicles for the benefit of the public must commence within six months following award of the purchase contract. 2. Project Milestone and Completion Deadline Extensions 2.1. Schedules within grant agreements may include project scopes and schedules that will identify interim milestones in addition to those described in Section 1 of this Policy. Grant recipients may receive extensions on their project schedules of up to six months for good cause. Extensions of up to six months aggregate that would not cause the project to miss a completion deadline in Section 1 may be approved by the SANDAG Executive Director. Extensions beyond six months aggregate or that would cause the project to miss a completion deadline in Section 1 must be approved by the Policy Advisory Committee that has been delegated the necessary authority by the Board. For an extension to be granted under this Section 2, the following conditions must be met: 2.1.1. For extension requests of up to six months, the grantee must request the extension in writing to the SANDAG Program Manager at least two weeks prior to the earliest project schedule milestone deadline for which an extension is being requested. The Executive Director or designee will determine whether the extension should be granted. The Executive Director’s action will be reported out to the Board in following month’s report of delegated actions. 2.1.2. A grantee seeking an extension must document previous efforts undertaken to maintain the project schedule, explain the reasons for the delay, explain why the delay is unavoidable, and demonstrate an ability to succeed in the extended time frame the grantee proposes. 2.1.3. If the Executive Director denies an extension request under this Section 2, the grantee may appeal within ten business days of receiving the Executive Director’s response to the responsible Policy Advisory Committee by sending the appeal to the SANDAG Program Manager. CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 741 23 2.1.4. Extension requests that are rejected by the Policy Advisory Committee will result in termination of the grant agreement and obligation by the grantee to return to SANDAG any unexpended funds within 30 days. Unexpended funds are funds for project costs not incurred prior to rejection of the extension request by the Policy Advisory Committee. 3. Project Delays and Extensions in Excess of Six Months 3.1. Requests for extensions in excess of six months, or that will cause a project to miss a completion deadline in Section 1 (including those projects that were already granted extensions by the Executive Director and are again falling behind schedule), will be considered by the Policy Advisory Committee upon request to the SANDAG Program Manager. 3.2 A grantee seeking an extension must document previous efforts undertaken to maintain the project schedule, explain the reasons for the delay, explain why the delay is unavoidable, and demonstrate an ability to succeed in the extended time frame the grantee proposes. The grantee must provide the necessary information to SANDAG staff to place in a report to the Policy Advisory Committee. If sufficient time is available, and the grant utilized TransNet funds, the request will first be taken to the Independent Taxpayer Advisory Committee (ITOC) for a recommendation. The grantee should make a representative available at the meeting to present the information to, and/or answer questions from, the ITOC and Policy Advisory Committee. 3.3 The Policy Advisory Committee will only grant an extension under this Section 3 for extenuating circumstances that the grantee could not have reasonably foreseen. 4. Resolution and Execution of the Grant Agreement 4.1 Two weeks prior to the review by the Policy Advisory Committee of the proposed grants, prospective grantees must submit a resolution from their authorized governing body that includes the provisions in this Subsection 4.1. Failure to provide a resolution that meets the requirements in this Subsection 4.1 will result in rejection of the application and the application will be dropped from consideration with funding going to the next project as scored by the evaluation committee. In order to assist grantees in meeting this resolution deadline, when SANDAG issues the call for projects it will allow at least 90 days for grant application submission. 4.1.1 Grantee governing body commits to providing the amount of matching funds set forth in the grant application. 4.1.2 Grantee governing body authorizes staff to accept the grant funding and execute a grant agreement if an award is made by SANDAG. 4.2 Grantee’s authorized representative must execute the grant agreement within 45 days from the date SANDAG presents the grant agreement to the prospective grantee for execution.

Grant funds made available as a result of the procedures in this Policy may be awarded to the next project on the recommended project priority list from the most recent project selection process, or may be added to the funds available for the next project funding cycle, at the responsible Policy Advisory Committee’s discretion. Any project that loses funding due to failure to meet the deadlines specified in this Policy may be resubmitted to compete for funding in a future call for grant applications.

CFP Release Date: December 15, 2017 2018-03-13 Agenda Packet Page 744 26 Capital Grants Only 1.Baseline Data Collection: Prior to the construction of grant-funded improvements, the Grantee is responsible for developing a baseline data collection plan with SANDAG to gather information on pedestrian and bike activity. At a minimum, data should be collected for observed bike and pedestrian volumes, behavior, and attitudes in the project area. Once the data collection plan is approved by SANDAG staff, the Grantee is responsible for carrying out the plan and returning collected data to SANDAG as a deliverable. Standardized forms required for data collection will be provided by SANDAG. Grantees are encouraged to use the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project methodology and plan for the following: Conduct counts prior to project construction, during National Documentation Days in the second week of September. Supplementary counts and surveys can be conducted during January, May, and July to provide seasonal data, if desired Conduct counts for two hours, at peak times relative to the facility. For example, facilities attracting utilitarian trips should be counted on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., whereas facilities attracting recreational trips should be counted on a Saturday, from 9 to 11a.m. In the case that the above timeframes are deemed infeasible due to the project schedule, the Grantee and SANDAG will collaborate on an alternative data collection methodology and procedure. A subset of project areas may be selected for in-depth evaluation by SANDAG, in which case, SANDAG will conduct the data collection effort with required participation from Grantee staff. Such in-depth evaluation conducted by SANDAG will take place solely for the purpose of SANDAG Active Transportation data collection and monitoring efforts, and will not impact Grantees’ budgets. Grantees should plan to budget $5,000 for data collection. 2.Plan Review: Grantee must submit project design drawings and cost estimates (if available) to SANDAG for review and comment at 30 percent, 60 percent, 90 percent, and 100 percent design. SANDAG staff may meet with the Grantee to comment on submitted plans and assure substantial conformance.
