RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE F STREET PROMENADE
STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN FROM BAY BOULEVARD
TO THIRD AVENUE
WHEREAS, 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 F Street Promenade
Streetscape Master Plan ("Master Plan") and received a notice to proceed from SANDAG on
August 14, 2015; and
WHEREAS, 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) from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. 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;and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City's Purchasing Ordinance, the City retained MIG, Inc.
and its team of sub-consultants (Design Team)to prepare the Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City and Design Team initiated work on the Project by conducting
community workshops to gather input from the area's stakeholders to guide the design and
refinement of the Master Plan. Residents, property and business owners within a 100-foot buffer
were invited to participate in three community workshops held at the Downtown Chula Vista
Farmers Market on December 15, 2016, on-site at F Street between 4th Avenue and Fire Station 1
on March 11, 2017, and at the City of Chula Vista Council Chambers on June 8, 2017. In
addition, a questionnaire was mailed to obtain input from residents, and notices were published
in the Star News informing the community of the workshops; and
WHEREAS, the Master Plan is an approximately 1.25 mile long segment of F Street
from Third Avenue to Bay Boulevard that will link downtown's Village District to the City's up-
and-coming Bayfront. The project envisions street and sidewalk improvements to enhance the
corridor through the undergrounding of utilities, reduction of vehicular travel lanes, 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.
The project, through its design features, will also promote energy efficiency and water
conservation; and
