From:
Subject:
Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award
I would like the opportunity to recognize the Purchasing Agent and the Purchasing
Division at an upcoming Council meeting for a national award that they recently
received.
The National Purchasing Institute administers a program designed to recognize the
achievement of organizational excellence in public procurement. In addition to the
National Purchasing Institute, the achievement program is also sponsored by the Institute
for Supply Management and the California Association of Public Purchasing Officers.
The award is achieved by only those organizations that demonstrate excellence in
procurement by obtaining a qualifying score against standardized rating criteria designed
to measure innovation, professionalism, productivity, and leadership attributes.
Chula Vista was one of only eight cities in California and thirty-two nationwide to
receive this award for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002. Obviously, I am extremely
proud of this achievement and welcome the opportunity to share my pride with the
Council and the citizens we serve.

commitment to our national heritage, the basic values upon which this nation was built,
the free enterprise system, and responsible citizenship.
The conference on the Valley Forge campus will include meetings with prominent

national historic sites.

sponsors, and underwrites a significant portion of the cost trip. We students are asked to
find financial sponsors within our community who support youth programs. I need to
raise a total of $700 by February 1, 2003. I hope that you will consider helping me
achieve this goal.
To show my appreciation for your sponsorship, I would be happy to provide a program on

ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
Resolution Appropriating $53,705 in the Town Centre Landscape
Maintenance District Fund (Fund 351) for Eligible Landscape Maintenance
Activities
Director of Engineering~)
Community Developme'-nt Director
City Manager ~0
(4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
~lhe Downtown Property and Business Improvement District (PBID), formed by a vote of downtown
property owners in 2001, came into effect on January 1, 2002. The activities formerly carded out by the
existing Town Centre Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) were incorporated into the new PBID. This
action will enable the City to use the remaining funds collected for the LMD to enhance the landscaping
contained within the original District boundaries.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the Resolution appropriating $53,705 in the Town
Centre Landscape Maintenance District Fund (Fund 351).
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On July 24, 2001 Council held a public meeting and tabulated ballots for the establishment of the
Downtown Property and Business Improvement District. Since the majority of the weighted vote was in
favor, Resolution 2001-232 was enacted to establish the district. The BID was authorized for a five-year
period as stipulated by California Streets and Highways Code Section 36625. Resolution 2001-236 was
also adopted, declaring the intent to initiate dissolution proceedings for the Town Centre Maintenance
District. The annual assessment for the PBID was placed on the tax roll for Fiscal Year 2001-02. Since
revenues from the tax roll are generally not received by the City until mid-year, the PBID did not take
effect until January 2002. During the first half of the fiscal year, the fund balance of the existing
maintenance district was used to maintain those properties within the original LMD boundaries.
Since the LMD was still in operation in July 2001, the final fund balance was not known. The current
balance in the Town Centre LMD Fund (Fund 351) is $53,705. However, since the LMD would not
technically be in operation during Fiscal Year 2002-03, no money was appropriated into this fund for this
fiscal year.
The appropriation of $53,705 in the Town Centre Landscape Fund (35100) ~vill provide for the following:
1) Reimburse the General Fund $8,460 for costs associated with the old district, primarily back payments
for electricity during the period of July 2000 through December 200 I; 2) Legal and administrative costs
of $5,000 which have not yet been paid; and 3) Remaining funds of approximately $40,245 to be utilized
for landscape maintenance and upgrades within the LMD boundaries along Third Avenue between E and
G Streets.
Page 2, Item ~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
Identified use of the remaining funds will be devoted to the following purposes: replacement and repair
of street benches, trash receptacles, and flower boxes; irrigation repairs; landscape materials; and related
eligible costs. Given the City's efforts to secure funding for additional, long-range improvements to the
downtown streetscape, other more extensive repairs or replacement of landscape materials and hardscape
will be deferred until a master plan is prepared for the improvement of Third Avenue.
Issues Regarding LMD Dissolution
It was previously envisioned that the LMD would be dissolved after the new BID was' formed and all
expenses associated with the LMD had been determined. Therefore, Resolution 2001-236 was adopted in
order to begin the dissolution process and maximum rates for the LMD were not adopted in Fiscal Years
2001-02 and 2002-03.
However, in reevaluating the impacts of dissolving the LMD, it was determined that there is some
potential long-term exposure for the city based on the remote possibility that the current PBID might not
receive sufficient support for re-approval in 2006 for its next 5 year period. Should the PBID not be re-
approved, and the LMD is dissolved, there would no longer be a funding mechanism for downtown
Iandscape maintenance.
Based on this possibility, the Town Centre LMD will be kept open as a "ghost" district. This means that
the City will set the maximum Assessment Amount for the District on an annual basis, even though
property owners will not be billed anything on the tax roll. This appropriation would cover the entire
balance remaining in Fund 351. The Assessment Amount for Fiscal Year 2003-04 would be based on the
last approved Assessment Amount for this district, which was $0.098688 per square foot of parcel area as
adopted for Fiscal Year 2000-01. (This would have resulted in a maximum revenue of $50,588.65.)
Annual cost of living increases to the LMD rate would be included in the two annual Open Space District
agenda statements in May and July each year. The July public hearing would be noticed in the Star
News. Staff will meet with the property owners and the Town Centre BID board to inform them about
this process.
FISCAL IMPACT: Passage of this resolution will allow the $53,705 balance in the Town Centre LMD
Fund (Fund 351) to be used for the maintenance and enhancement of landscaping within the existing
district boundaries. No other direct fiscal impacts are anticipated with this action.

1TEM TITLE:
Resolution Declaring City's intention to underground overhead
utilities along East "J" Street from east of Lori Lane to Hilltop Drive, and
setting a public hearing for the formation of Utility Underground District
Number 138 for February 11, 2003 at 6 p.m.
SUBMITTED BY: DirectorofEngineering//~J
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~.a ~>~'~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes No X )
On November 12, 1991, the City Council approved Resolution No. 16415 accepting a report on the
City's Utility Undergrounding Conversion Program and approving a revised list of utility
underground conversion projects. On November 1, 2002, an Underground Utility Advisory
Committee (UUAC) meeting was held at the site to determine the proposed boundary of an
underground utility district for the conversion of existing overhead utilities. The proposed boundary
is shown on attached Exhibit A. The district's limits extend along East "J" Street from east of Lori
Lane to Hilltop Drive.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution declaring the City's intention to
underground overhead utilities along East "J" Street from east of Lori Lane to Hilltop Drive and
setting a public hearing for the formation of Utility Underground District Number 138 for February
11, 2003 at 6 p.m.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Underground Utility Advisory Committee (UUAC), consisting of representatives of SDG&E,
Pacific Bell, Cox Communications, Chula Vista Cable and the City, agreed to propose to the City
Council the formation of a district for the conversion of overhead utilities to underground East "J"
Street from east of Lori Lane to Hilltop Drive. The proposed utility undergrounding district along
East "J" Street is about 7,000 feet long (1.3 miles), running from east of Lori Lane to Hilltop Drive
(See Exhibit A). The estimated cost for undergrounding the utilities is $1,600,000. The Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) count on East "J' Street, between east of Lori Lane to Hilltop Drive, is
approximately 10,000 vehicles per day.
Page 2, Item tT~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
Staff recommends the formation of this conversion district along this section of East "J" Street
because:
East "J" Street is a two-lane major west/east thoroughfare between the western and eastern
portions of Chula Vista. The undergrotmding of existing overhead utilities will contribute to
the creation of an aesthetically pleasing major street.
2. This segment of East "J" Street is classified in the General Plan's Circulation Elements as a
Class II Collector street.
3. In addition to single family residential, the district fi-onts along Halecrest Elementary School,
McCandiss Park, Hilltop High School, Fire Station #2, and a commercial site.
Section 15.32.130 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires the City Council to set a public
heating to determine whether the public health, safety, and general welfare requires the
undergrounding of existing overhead utilities within designated areas of the City to give persons the
opportunity to speak in favor of or against the formation of a proposed district to underground
utilities. The purpose of forming the district is to require the utility companies to underground all
overhead lines and to remove all existing wooden utility poles within the District and to require
property owners to convert their service connections to underground.
The conversion work by the property owners involves trenching, backfill and conduit installation
from property line to point of connection. Chula Vista City Council Policy No. 585-1 established a
mechanism that helps property owners with the cost of the conversion work from the distribution
lines to the structure. Said policy provides for the reimbursement of property owners at a rate of $35
per lineal foot of trenching, which is normally sufficient to cover total costs. Exhibit B shows a
reimbursement schedule listing reimbursement amount for all 63 affected properties. The total
reimbursement is approximately $110,000 and is included in the overall cost estimate of $1,600,000.
Approval of this resolution will set a public hearing to be held during the City Council meeting of
February 11, 2003 at 6 p.m., in accordance with Section 15.32.130 of the Municipal Code for the
formation of this district.
Section 15.32.140 of the City Code requires the City Clerk to notify all affected persons and each
utility company of the time and place of the public heating at least 15 days prior to the date of the
public hearing. Notice is to be given by mail to all property owners and occupants of property
located within the boundaries of the proposed district. The City Clerk is required by said section of
the Code to publish the Resolution of Intention, setting the public hearing in the local newspaper no
less than five days prior to the date of the public hearing.
It should be noted that Fire Station//2 is excluded from the subject district. Overhead utilities to the
fire station were required by the City to be undergrounded with previous building improvements.
Page 3, Item ~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of pole removal, undergrounding overhead facilities and private
property conversion reimbursements as outlined above is estimated to be approximately $1,600,000.
SDG&E's allocation funds (Rule 20-A) will cover the estimated cost of the project. The estimated
cost for street lights project associated with the undergrounding district is estimated to be
approximately $100,000. City staff will be establishing a separate CIP project for the street light
work to be done in FY 03/04. The $100,000 funding source is anticipated to come from Gas Tax.
All staff costs associated with the formation of this district is not reimbursable from the allocation
funds and, therefore, are borne by the General Fund.

The FY 2002-03 Equipment Maintenance Budget provides for the replacement of twelve police
pursuit sedans. The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 22.56.140 and Council Resolution No.
6132 authorize the Purchasing Agent to participate in cooperative bids with other government
agencies for the purchase of materials of common usage. The City has an opportunity to
participate in a current City of San Diego bid for favorable terms and pricing. The City of San
Diego publicly advertised the bid and one local dealer, Fuller Ford, was sent a bid package.
None of the dealerships from the City of Chula Vista responded to the bid.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the Resolution awarding the Purchase
Agreement in the amount of $310,564.68 to Villa Ford for twelve police pursuit sedans.
DISCUSSION:
In the past, the City of Chula Vista has entered into purchasing agreements with the City of San
Diego for various pieces of equipment. Several local agencies combined requirements for this bid
and, as a result, received favorable terms and pricing based on volume discounts. The City of
Chula Vista has an opportunity to participate in the City of San Diego Bid and realize these cost
benefits. The twelve police pursuit sedans are being replaced in their normal retirement cycle.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An amount of $387,252 has been provided in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the
replacement of twelve police pursuit sedans. This represents a savings of $76,687.32 due to
prices being lower than anticipated.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.:
Meeting Date:
1/14/03
ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the Chula Vista City Council approving a two-party
agreement between the City of Chula Vista and Economics Research
Associates for Financial consulting services to prepare models and fiscal
impact analyses for the City's General Plan Update, and authorizing the
Mayor to execute said agreement
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and Building X~?
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (~ {Z/~.(~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes No X_.)
In November 2001, the City Council approved an overall work program and budget for the
General Plan Update project. Included in that work program and budget were preparation of
several studies to be done by consultants, including preparation of a Fiscal Impact Analysis
(FIA). Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and has conducted a competitive selection
process to choose a consultant to prepare the General Plan Update FIA. Economics Research
Associates (ERA) was chosen by the City's selection committee, and this report presents a
proposed agreement with ERA to complete the work for a cost of $89,895.
The proposed FIA contract includes preparation of a customized fiscal impact model, and the
analysis and presentation of the fiscal impacts of various General Plan land use and policy
alternatives.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the Agreement
and authorizing the Mayor to sign said Agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Background
The preparation of a number of technical studies, including a fiscal impact analysis (FIA), is an
integral component of a General Plan Update. The FIA plays several key roles including the
establishment of current baseline fiscal conditions regarding City facilities and services,
operating costs, and expenditures and revenues, the identification of fiscal impacts associated
with buildout under the current City General Plan, and the evaluation of potential fiscal impacts
associated with various proposed General Plan land use alternatives and policy options. Those
evaluations will be fundamental to the refinement and selection of final, fiscally sound General
Plan alternatives for consideration.
Page 2, Item No.: ~
Meeting Date: 1/14/03
The proposed agreement with Economics Research Associates (ERA) will result in development
of a customized fiscal impact model that considers the border economy and other unique
conditions within the South Bay and Chula Vista. The model will also allow the City to evaluate
the effects of potential changes in levels-of-service and costs, as well as other policy alternatives
such as fiscal reform that would distribute certain revenues from the State and other sources
based on different formulas than are currently used. The City will also receive a copy of the
customized modeling software, along with a user manual and training that will allow the City to
use the model to evaluate future project proposals subsequent to the General Plan Update.
Consultant Selection Process
On May 23, 2002, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was distributed to 30 qualified firms
throughout California. By the July 8, 2002, response deadline, a total of five proposals were
received. The Selection Committee including staff from the Planning, Budget & Analysis, and
Community Development Departments reviewed and rated the proposals, and invited all five
firms to interview.
Based upon both the proposal and interview, the Selection Committee determined that
Economics Research Associates (ERA) best demonstrated the ability to perform the required
services. ERA brings to the table diverse experiences in real estate, urban planning, and
economic development, as well as fiscal impact analysis. ERA is quite familiar with Chula Vista
and South Bay/border economics, and recently completed work in the preparation of an
Economic Development Strategy for the City. ERA is experienced and staffed in a manner such
that they can deliver the required services within the necessary timeframes. Staff has processed
and negotiated the details of the proposed agreement in accordance with procedures set forth in
Section 2.56 of the City's Municipal Code.
Scope of Consultant Services
Following is a summary of the major components of work to be completed by ERA under the
proposed agreement:
· Project Orientation-
ERA will meet with the City to obtain necessary background materials, and will review
those materials as they relate to and affect the development of an individualized fiscal
impact modeling methodology. These materials include, but are not limited to, the City's
budget, General Plan and other related policies that establish standards, fiscal agreements
with the County and other cities and agencies, development agreements, tax increment
distribution formulas, population and household projections, land use composition,
infrastructure / public facilities inventory, and anticipated wage and benefit increases.
Staff and ERA have also agreed to use of a Peer Review Group to review early
assumptions and factors, and to provide input on the proposed modeling methodology.
The Group is intended to consist of 3 to 4 persons including governmental, financial
industry, and academic practitioners.
Page 3, Item No.: ~,
Meeting Date: 1/14/03
Development of Standards and Factors-
ERA will meet in focus groups with department heads and/or staff to review their
particular budgets and discuss major line item operating costs and capital costs that vary
by location, density and/or land use. ERA will also determine which facilities and
services serve a citywide population versus sub-areas, existing sources of funding these
costs, and which facilities or services are funded by special benefit assessments or
development agreements. The focus groups will also provide input on current facility
and service standards, and whether they anticipate any changes to these standards.
ERA will meet with local developers to obtain information regarding residential,
commercial and industrial property prices and trends to inform assessed valuation and
real appreciation assumptions.
ERA will prepare a report presenting this and other information regarding taxable sales
factors, market values for various land uses, and capital and operating assumptions for
review and confirmation by the City and the Peer Review Group.
Preparation of Modeling Methodology-
ERA will develop a fiscal impact modeling methodology acceptable to the City, which
predicts costs and revenues associated with the build-out of the City's General Plan in
accordance with defined level-of-service standards for City services, and fiscal policies
regarding the allocation of revenues such as sales tax and vehicle license in-lieu fees,
among others. To address the uncertainty inherent in predicting future events, a
sensitivity analysis of the model's key assumptions will also be included. This analysis
will identify how variability in the model's key inputs affects the model's outputs,
including estimated "confidence levels". ERA will prepare reports presenting the
methodology. The modeling methodology will be finalized based on reviews by the City
and the Peer Review Group.
Evaluation of Current Conditions and Existing City General Plan-
ERA will use the approved model to test the results of the model when applied to the
City's adopted General Plan. They will submit a report presenting the results of the
modeling for review and cornment by the City and the Peer Review Group. Based on
those comments, ERA Consultant will make according changes to the model before it is
used to test any of the proposed land use and policy alternatives for the General Plan
Update.
Evaluation of General Plan Alternatives and Policy Options-
ERA will utilize the model to test City-identified land use altematives and policy options
in three phases. The first will consist of an initial three General Plan land use
alternatives, and up to 5 policy options. The second would consist of an additional three
Page4, ItemNo.: ~
Meeting Date: 1/14/03
land use alternatives, and up to 5 policy options. The third would be of any refinements
made based on the final alternatives and the preferred alternative to be presented for
action. The land use alternatives and other policy altematives would be developed by the
City's General Plan staff team, in coordination with the General Plan citizen committees.
ERA will prepare reports presenting the results of its analysis for review and comment by
the City. The reports will also indicate the annual cash flow results for each land use
altemative and policy option so the City can understand how variances in phasing may
affect the City's fiscal resources.
· Preparation of Final Fiscal Impact Analysis Report-
Based on City comments on the above, ERA will then prepare a Final Fiscal Impact
Analysis Report presenting the fiscal impact results of the formal General Plan
alternatives and the Preferred Alternative, which will become part of the technical studies
document package to be published for final public review of the General Plan Update.
· Fiscal Model User Manual and StaffTraining-
ERA will prepare and submit the spreadsheet-based final fiscal impact model for use by
the City, and will provide a user manual and conduct a training session with City staff.
Contract Costs
The total cost of the contract for FIA consulting services is a fixed fee of $89,895, to be paid in
increments related to milestones defined in the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On November 6, 2001, the City Council approved an overall work program and budget for the
two-plus year General Plan Update project. Included in that work program and budget were
preparation of several studies to be done by consultants, including preparation of a fiscal impact
analysis. The budget included a total of $873,500 for all the consultant studies, and funding for
these studies has already been included within the City General Plan Update CIP.
Costs for each of the consultant studies were based on general estimates, with the understanding
that actual costs might vary as final, more detailed scoping for each study was developed, and as
responses to requests-for-proposals were received. An initial estimated cost of $40,000 was
included for the Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA). Since that time, extensive discussion of the
preferred approach to the FIA with the Office of Budget and Analysis resulted in the scoping of a
more sophisticated model, tailored to the uniqueness of Chula Vista and the border economy.
The total cost of $89,895 reflects this.
The net additional cost of $49, 895 can be offset from within the already budgeted City General
Plan Update CIP based on anticipated reductions in costs for other studies including the
Demographic and Housing Profile, and the Environmental Impact Report.

7. General Duties:
Consultant will prepare an individualized Fiscal Impact
Model for the City of Chula Vista, and use that model to
(a)identify and analyze current baseline revenues, levels of
service, and operating cost conditions for the City within its
General Plan Area, as well as buildout conditions under the
currently adopted General Plan, and (b)evaluate the revenue,
operating cost, and fiscal impacts and implications of various
land use alternatives and other policy options in conjunction
with the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. The
methodology for development of this model, as well as the
outcomes of modeling of current conditions and the various
General Plan land use alternatives and policy options, shall
be presented by the Consultant in reports which will become
part of the technical studies document package to be published
in conjunction with the General Plan Update, and used in
support of the environmental and other reviews of the effects
of proposed General Plan Update land use and policy
alternatives.
Consultant will use the Fiscal Impact Model to estimate
the costs of providing specified urban services, as well as
receipt of specified revenues, associated with various land
use alternatives regarding future development of residential,
commercial, industrial, and other land uses within the City's
General Plan Area, looking forward up to the year 2030. In
addition, Consultant will use the model to test policy options
relative to "levels of service" for certain types of urban
services, as well as options pertaining to "fiscal reform"
policies that would distribute certain revenues from the State
and other sources to the City based on different formulas than
are currently used. The proposed Fiscal Impact Model shall be
designed to project marginal expenditures and revenues where
appropriate, rather than applying an average cost methodology
across the board, and will not make the simplifying assumption
that future per-capita revenues and expenditures will
necessarily remain at current levels, particularly with regard
to the City's major revenue and expenditure categories. The
model will include a sensitivity analysis of key assumptions
that will result in confidence intervals for model outputs in
addition to point estimates. The model will project
expenditures and revenues by year, through projected City
build-out. Preparation of the fiscal impact model and analyses
is necessary in order to document current, baseline fiscal
Exhibit 'A' Page 2
Two Party Agreement
GPU FIA - January 2, 2003
conditions in the City and its General Plan Area, and to
identify fiscal issues, considerations and policy implications
pertinent to the development of fiscally sound alternatives to
be presented with the General Plan Update.
8. Scope of Work and Schedule:
A. Detailed Scope of Work:
In fulfilling the General Duties described above,
Consultant shall perform all of following to the satisfaction
of the City's General Plan Project Manager in completion of
work under this Agreement:
I. Project Orientation
Upon request of City's General Plan Project
Manager, Consultant will meet with the City to
obtain necessary background materials, and will
review those materials as they relate to and affect
the development of an individualized fiscal impact
modeling methodology for the City's General Plan
Update. These materials include, but are not
limited to, the 'City's budget, General Plan and
other related policies that establish standards,
fiscal agreements with the County and other cities
and agencies, development agreements, tax increment
distribution formulas, population and household
projections, land use composition, infrastructure /
public facilities inventory, and anticipated wage
and benefit increases.
(2)
Upon request of the City's General Plan Project
Manager and review of the necessary materials,
Consultant will meet with the City to discuss the
City's fiscal goals, objectives and. concerns, and
to discuss average versus marginal cost approaches
and variables, changes in assumptions to be tested,
and protocols for working with the various
departments.
(3) Upon request of the City's General Plan Project
Manager, Consultant will meet with the City and the
Exhibit 'A'
Two Party Agreement Page 3
GPU FIA January 2, 2003
Peer Review Group (selected by the City), to review
and receive input from the Group regarding the
approach to the Fiscal Impact Analysis and modeling
methodology.
II. Development of Standards and Factors
(1)
Consultant will meet in focus groups, as City's
General Plan Project Manager deems necessary, with
selected department heads and/or staff (including
but not limited to, Parks and Recreation, Public
Works, Library, Community Development, Public
Safety, Planning and Building, and Finance) to
review their particular budgets and discuss major
line item operating costs and capital costs that
vary by location, density and/or land use.
Consultant will also determine which facilities and
services serve a citywide population versus sub-
areas, existing sources of funding these costs, and
which facilities or services are funded by special
benefit assessments or development agreement
concessions. Consultant will also discuss with
these City Department focus groups what current
facility and service standards are, and whether the
City anticipates any changes to these standards.
(2)
Consultant will meet up to five (5) local
developers, as determined by the City in
conjunction with the Consultant, in a focus group
to obtain information regarding residential,
commercial and industrial property prices and
trends to inform assessed valuation and real
appreciation assumptions.
(3)
Based on review of the orientation materials and
the above focus group interviews, and the City's
determination of fixed versus variable costs, and
citywide versus subarea costs, Consultant will
prepare and submit 10 copies of a written summary
and list of service and facility standards that are
either explicitly stated as policy, or are implied
by exiting planned development, and will meet with
Exhibit 'A'

(5)
Prior to submittal of Deliverable No.2, Consultant
will establish realistic market values per unit for
different types of land uses, and will reasonably
anticipate any real appreciation based on
comparable sales data, and price trends for major
use categories, adjusted for inflation, and
considering the constraints under Proposition 13.
Consultant will confirm these values with the City.
(6)
Prior to submittal of Deliverable No.2, Consultant
will identify draft capital and operating
assumptions based on current policies and
practices, and any anticipated changes in such.
Consultant will define these standards according to
service areas criteria, as appropriate, to
facilitate marginal cost modeling. Consultant will
confirm these standards with the City. Consultant
will develop fiscal cost and revenue factors by
land use for each subarea, consistent with the
City's service standards and facility capacity.
Revenue factors will only apply to those budget
line items that do not require special formulas to
estimate. Consultant will confirm these factors
with the City.
III. Preparation of Modeling Methodology
(1) The Consultant shall develop a fiscal impact
Exhibit ~A'
Two Party Agreement Page 5
GPU FIA - January 2, 2003
modeling methodology acceptable to the City, which
predicts costs and revenues associated with the
build-out of the City's General Plan in accordance
with defined level-of-service standards for City
services,, and fiscal policies regarding the
allocation of revenues such as sales tax and
vehicle license in-lieu fees, among others. The
model shall be designed to project marginal
expenditures and revenues where appropriate, rather
than applying an average cost methodology across
the board. Rather than assuming that future per-
capita revenues and expenditures will remain at
current levels, the model shall use statistical
modeling to project these values, or provide an
alternative solution to this issue. The model
methodology must also address projected sales tax
revenue recognizing the influence of visitors from
Mexico and other South Bay cities, and how sales
tax revenue is allocated to both residential and
non-residential'land uses.
City will provide Consultant with timeline
assumptions of when major new City facilities are
projected to be operating, along with assumed
levels of service. Annual expenditure projections
will be adjusted by Consultant for negotiated or
projected wage and benefit increases. Annual
revenue projections will be adjusted for both fixed
revenue growth and applicable inflationary changes.
The model shall also include the following
components:
a. A sensitivity analysis of the model's key
assumptions to address the considerable uncertainty
inherent in predicting future events. This analysis
shall identify how variability in the model's key
inputs affects the model's outputs, including
estimated "confidence levels". Consultant will
conduct the following tasks as part of the
sensitivity analysis:
(i) Allow for variable uncertainty by
utilizing a Microsoft Excel compatible
risk analysis software package (such
as @ Risk)

and/or policy scenario as
b. An analysis of potential cash flow problems
under different development scenarios, such as an
instance (for example) where retails development
might significantly lag residential development.
c. An analysis of how the costs and benefits of
development are distributed among various
population groups, as requested by the City, such
as how much of the projected sales tax increment is
projected to come from visitors from Mexico and
other South Bay cities. No more than ten groups
will be selected.
{2) Preparation of Draft Report on Modeling Methodology
Consultant shall prepare and present a flow-chart
based modeling methodology report outlining,
describing and explaining the various modeling
assumptions and methodology, and demonstrating how
the model is intended to work, how marginal costs
and market-related revenue factors are addressed,
and how the models sensitivity will be assessed.
The report shall also include identification of any
service areas to be used to account for variances
in cost and revenues for certain line items.

Preparation of Final Modeling Methodology, Model
and Report (Deliverable No. 3)
Based on the review and inputs from the City and
the Peer Review Group, Consultant shall make any
according revisions to finalize the modeling
methodology and the associated Report. The model
itself will be developed as a series of integrated
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, with macros, that
allow static and variable input factors to project
fiscal costs and revenues over time for various
General Plan land use and policy scenarios.
The model will apply cost factors by land use for
each fiscal service zone that reflect the marginal
cost in each zone. Costs will be assigned to each
land use based on a rationale relationship between
the item and land use, which will be explained and
documented in the Report. The model will similarly
apply general revenue factors by land use for those
revenue items that do not require special formulas
to estimate. These will also .be explained and
documented in the Report. The model will present
the net fiscal impact of land use scenarios by year
to the year 2020 for each fiscal service zone,
along with the ~ggregate impact to the City.

REVIEWED
BY:
On August 27, 2002 Council accepted the Otay Project L.P. application and approved the initiation
of proceedings to consider the formation of Community Facilities District No. 08-1 (CFD-08-I). On
December 10, 2002 Council approved the Resolution of Intention to form Community Facilities
District No. 08-1 and the Resolution of Intention to Incur a Bonded Indebtedness of CFD-08-I and
set the public hearing for January 7, 2003. At the request of the City of Chula Vista, the Public hearing
has been moved to January 14, 2003.
CFD-08-I will fund the construction of public facilities, such as roadways for the Otay project. In
addition, a portion of the proceeds may be authorized to be used for certain transportation projects as
directed by the City. Tonight's action will continue the formal proceedings leading to the
establishment of Community Facilities District No. 08-1 and the authorization, subject to the
approval of the qualified electors, to levy special taxes and to issue bonds secured by the levy of
such special taxes.

RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
· Open the Hearing, take public testimony, close the public hearing;
· Approve the Resolution (A) Forming and Establishing Community Facilities District No.
08-I (Otay Ranch Village Six ), and Authorizing submittal of Levy of Special Taxes to the
Qualified Electors thereof;
· Approve the Resolution (B) Declaring Necessity to incur Bonded Indebtedness of
Community Facilities District No. 08-1 (Otay Ranch Village Six), Submitting to the
Qualified Electors Propositions to incur a Bonded Indebtedness Secured by the Levy of a
Special Tax to Finance certain types of Public Facilities and giving Notice thereon.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Public Hearing is to be held for the purpose of considering the formation of Community
Facilities District No. 08-1 (Otay Ranch Village Six) and to consider the authorization to levy special
taxes and to incur a bonded indebtedness secured by such special taxes. The Resolution of Intention
to form the district was approved by City Council on December 10,'2002.
Community Facilities Districts (CFD) provide the necessary funding for the acquisition of public
improvements by levying an annual "special tax", which is collected from the property owners in
conjunction with the property taxes. There is no direct cost to the City. All expenses related to the
district administration (including levying and collecting the special taxes) are funded by the district.
The ultimate security behind the bonds are the properties located within the district, not the City's
General Fund or its ability to tax property within its jurisdiction. The district will be formed in
conformance with the "City of Chula Vista Statement of Goals and Policies Regarding the
Establishment of Community Facilities Districts" (CFD Policy) as adopted on January 13, 1998 and
amended on July 28, 1998.
District Boundaries
Exhibit 1 presents the boundaries of CFD-08-I as proposed that include certain parcels located within
Otay Ranch Village Six ( 189 gross acres). Village Six is comprised of property owned by McMillin Otay,
LLC and Otay Project, LP. tn general the entire Village Six is bounded by Olympic Parkway to the
North, Birch Road to the South, La Media Road to the West and the Proposed SR 125 to the East. This
will be the second Community Facilities District to be formed for Village Six. Community Facilities
District 2001-2 (McMillin Otay Ranch Village Six) has already been formed on their particular property
and CFD-08-1 will comprise the remainder of Village Six. The property within Village Six that is owned
by Otay Project, LP and which will be included in CFD-08-I is divided into two distinct sections, one in
the Southwest Quadrant and another in the Northeast Quadrant of Village Six.
Page 3, Item r~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
At this time Otay Project, LP is anticipating that only 93 acres will be developed for commercial and
residential development with the remaining acres to be reserved for other uses. At buildout there are
proposed to be 1,353 residential units, a 2.9 acre commercial development, two Community Public
Facilities Parcels, a Park and an elementary school.
The Improvements
The developer is proposing the financing of backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e.,
grading, sewer, streets, landscaping, and utilities) and public facilities. Following is a general
description of the proposed facilities including, but not limited to:
La Media Road
West Olympic Parkway (Portion)
Otay Lakes Road
Birch Road
East Palomar Street
ViewPark Street
Magdalena Avenue
Santa Venetia Street
In addition to the above improvements, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used for the "Traffic
Enhancement Program" within the greater eastern territories of Chula Vista. These transportation
facilities will be traffic capacity adding improvements and could include the following projects:
East "H" Street East of 1-805
Telegraph Canyon Road East of I 805
In addition to the above facilities, this CFD's bonding capacity may be used to pay for other
facilities to be financed by any of the Development Impact Programs.
Preliminary estimates show that the maximum tax revenue (using the proposed taxes) from all the
taxable properties would support a total bonded indebtedness of approximately $18.5 million
(assuming a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term on the bonds). A bond sale amount of $18.5
million will finance approximately $14.7 million in facilities (i.e. grading, landscaping, streets,
utilities, drainage, sewer, etc). The balance provided would provide for a reserve fund, capitalized
interest and pay district formation and bond issuance costs.
As noted above, it is currently estimated that only $18.5 million will be available for funding by this
district. However, the district will be sized for $25 million to give the City flexibility in sizing the
bonds and to take advantage of lower interest rates should they occur. A final priority list and cost
estimates for each of the eligible improvements for CFD-08-I financing will be brought later to
Council in conjunction with the Acquisition/Financing Agreement and other bond documents.
Page 4, Item r/
Meeting Date 1/14/03
The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to authorize and make the proceeds of any series of bonds
issued for the District available to pay the cost of construction or the purchase price for the
acquisition of Improvements for the "Traffic Enhancement Program". This could result in the
revision of the facilities priority structure for the utilization of such proceeds.
Ultimately, as subdivision exactions, the developer will finance required improvements that this
CFD district cannot finance. In addition, the proposed CFD lies within the City ofChula Vista's
Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) benefit area that places a cap on the CFD's ability
to finance certain TDIF improvements. Staff and the consultant team are working with the developer
to maximize the TDIF facilities to be constructed by the District
The actual amount to be financed by CFD-08-I would depend upon a number of factors including
final interest rate on the bonds and the value to lien ratio. The bond sale amount and may be higher
or less than the $18.5 million mentioned above.

Facilities Act of 1982 for Community Facilities District No. 08-I ( Otay Ranch Village Six) prepared

available for public review in the City Clerk's Office. Said report incorporates the "Rate and
Method of Apportionment" (RMA) (previously approved by Council on December 10, 2002), that
establishes the procedures for levying the special taxes in CFD-08-I. The district is divided into two
Zones, Zone A and Zone B, ~vith the following two Land Use Class classifications:
Land Use Classes:
1) Applies only to Developed Residential Property;
2) Applies only to Developed Non-Residential Property; and
The proposed Tax Rates are as follows:
· Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi family residences) are taxed on the square
footage of the building. The proposed residential Tax Rates are as follows:
Residential Developed Parcels Assigned Special Tax
Land Use Class 1-Zone A
Land Use Class 1-Zone B
$800.00 per Unit plus $.27 per square foot of
Residential Floor Area
$800.00 per Unit plus $.27 per square foot of
Residential Floor Area
At the time the Special Tax is levied, Developed Parcels are those parcels for which a
building permit has been issued. This Special Tax rate has been determined by a preliminary
Page 5, Item '~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
"2% maximum tax" analysis. Said analysis, which is based on estimated house sizes and
prices, sets the amount of the maximum special tax that may be levied by CFD-08-I on
residential parcels. It should be noted that a final test will be required at escrow closing
using actual house sale prices. If the 2% limit is exceeded, the developer is required to buy
down the lien to an amount sufficient to meet the 2% criteria
Non-Residential Developed Parcels are taxed based on the acreage of the parcel. The
proposed non-residential tax rates are as follows:
Commercial Developed Parcels Maximum Annual Special Tax
Land Use Class 2 -Zone A $6,000 per acre of Non-Residential Property
Land Use Class 2 -Zone B $6,000 per acre of Non-Residential Property
At the time the tax is levied, Developed Parcels are those parcels for which a building permit
has been issued.
The Undeveloped Land category includes all the parcels for which a building permit has not
been issued. The tax on Undeveloped Land is based on the total acreage of the parcel.
During buildout, the collection from developed properties is not enough to cover the annual
debt service and the undeveloped land taxes will cover the shortfall. The City Administrator
will determine whether an Undeveloped Land tax is needed to meet the annual debt service.
Even if no development occurs and the whole property remains tmdeveloped, the proposed
tax will generate enough tax to cover the debt service on the bonds. The Undeveloped
Property rates are similar to the rates approved for other CFDs formed within Otay Ranch's
Villages. This is based upon the land use mixes, facilities needs, exempted acreage, and
square footage cost. The developer considers these tax rates to be reasonably supported by
the proposed land use categories lbr McMillin Otay Ranch Village Six. The proposed
Undeveloped Tax Rate is $14,981 per acre for Zone A and $24,418 per acre for Zone B
The RMA includes a Backup Special Tax where when each Final Subdivision Map is
recorded the Backup Special Tax shall be determined based on the. acreage of the
Residential Property and Undeveloped Property proposed to be Residential Property or
Non-Residential Property and Undeveloped Property proposed to be Non-Residential
Property and the lots in such Final Subdivision Map area. The Backup Special Tax
formula includes the Undeveloped Property Tax times the acreage (Final Subdivision
Map), divided by the number of lots (Final Subdivision Map).
The RMA determines that the classification of Property Owner Association Property, Public
Property, Open Space Community Purpose Facility Property and Assessor's Parcels with
Public or utility easements shall not reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than
approximately 40.98 acres within Zone A and approximately 42.43 acres within Zone B. If
Page 6, Item ~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
this occurs, the acreage below the minimums set previously will be deemed Provisional
Undeveloped Property and taxed at a proposed rate of $14,981 per acre for Zone A and
$24,418 per acre for Zone B as described in Section E of the RMA.
Collection of Taxes
First, the proposed Assigned Special Tax will be levied on the Developed Property. Second, if this
pool of funds is not enough to meet the annual debt service, as may be the case in the early years of
development, the City Administrator will levy a Special Tax on the Undeveloped Property. If
additional monies are needed after the first two steps have been completed, the special tax shall be
increased proportionately on each parcel from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual
Special Tax as determined by the application of a Backup Special Tax. If, after these three steps are
exhausted, there is still a need for additional monies, then the special tax shall be levied
proportionately on each parcel classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E
in the RMA from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax. After buildout,
if determined by the City Administrator that the annual tax need is less than the collectible tax from
the Developed Parcels, the special taxes to be levied in that specific year will be reduced
proportionately.
Since the Special Tax rates are based on the square footage of the home or acreage for Non-
Residential Property the bondholders require protection in the event that the developer builds less
than projected. A 10% contingency has been used in calculating the expected developed Final
Subdivision Map acreage which is incorporated into the Backup Special Tax Formula and the
Undeveloped Tax Rate formula.
The proposed "Rate and Method" also includes provisions for the prepayment of the special taxes in
the event the developer or a future property owner decides to do so.
Value to Lien Ratio Policy
Tl~e.CFD Policy requires any bond issue secured by the levy of special taxes be sized based upon a
m~mmum 4:1 value-to-lien ratio. A ratio of less than 4:1, but equal to or greater than 3:1, may be
approved, in the sole discretion of Council, when it is determined that a ratio of less than 4:1 is
financially prudent under the circumstances of a particular District. A final appraisal and lien ratio
analysis would be available for Council consideration prior to bond sale, which is planned for late in
2002. If the final analysis shows parcels which fail to meet the 4:1 or 3:1 ratio, the developer would
be required to either:
Provide cash or letters of credit to maintain the value-to-lien ratio within the CFD
Policy; or,
· The principal amount of the bonds to be issued for District will be reduced to comply
with the CFD Policy; or,
· Provide sufficient information to convince Council that a lesser lien ratio is prudent.
7-5,
Page 7, Item ~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
Maximum Tax Policy
Council Policy establishes that the maximum annual CFD special taxes applicable to any newly
developed residential property shall be no more than 1% of the sale price of the house. In addition,
the aggregate of all annual taxes and assessments is limited to 2% of the sale price of the house.
A preliminary calculation of the maximum tax, using estimated house prices, has been completed
and all homes fall within the 2% limit. A final test will be performed at escrow closing using the
actual sale price of the house. Council Policy requires that at or prior to each closing of escrow, the
escrow company shall apply a "calculation formula" previously approved by the City Engineer to
determine the aggregate of regular County taxes, Mello-Roos taxes, and assessment installments. If
the 2% limit were exceeded, the developer would be required to provide cash to buy down the lien to
an amount sufficient to meet the 2% tax ceiling. Compliance with this procedure would ensure that
the aggregate tax to be paid by the purchaser of the house meets the City's criteria, since the 2%
limit is a City policy the limit is not being included in the rate and method of the district. There is
the potential of exceeding the 2% tax ceiling if housing prices fall after the initial sale.
Resolutions
There are two resolutions on today's agenda that, if adopted, will accomplish the following:

Special Taxes.
Page 9, Item ~
Meeting Date i/14/03_
Fiscal Impact
There will be no direct fiscal impact to the City. The developer will pay all formation costs and has
deposited money to fund initial consultant costs, and City costs in accordance with the approved
Reimbursement Agreement. The City will receive the benefit of the full cost recovery for staff time
involved in district formation and administration activities. Staff anticipates that most of the CFD-
08-! administration will be contracted out. The CFD administration cost is estimated at $75,000
annually.
In accordance with the CFD Policy, as consideration for the City's agreement to use the City's
bonding capacity to provide the financing mechanism for the construction of the proposed
improvements, the developer will pay one percent (1%) of the total bond authorization. Said
requirement will be memorialized in the Acquisition/Financing Agreement that will be brought to
Council at a later date. Based on a bond sale amount of $18.5 million said monetary compensation
would be $185,000. Said amount shall be paid prior to bond sale (scheduled for Spring 2003) and
will be deposited into the General Fund. The CFD Policy also stipulates that said compensation is
not eligible for financing by CFD-08-1.

Community Facilities District No. 08 1 Page I
Otay Ranch Vt?lage Six December 2002
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Community Facilities District No. 08-1 (CFD-08-I) encompasses approximately 189 gross
acres of land located in south San Diego County within the City of Chula Vista and is an area
known as "Otay Ranch Village Six". Refer to Exhibit A - for a reduced copy of the Recorded
Boundary Map. Of this acreage, approximately 93 acres is expected to be developed by several
affiliated merchant builders for approximately 1,353 residential units, 2.9 acres of commercial
development, 7.5 acres for Community Facilities, along with 7.5 acres for a park and 7.7 acres
slated for an elementary school.
The property within Village Six that is owned by Otay Project, LP and which will be included in
CFD-08-! is divided into two distinct sections, one in the Southwest Quadrant and another in the
Northeast Quadrant of Village Six.
CFD-08-1 is divided into two tax zones (Zone A and Zone B), for Special Tax consistency
purposes. Refer to Exhibit A for the location of Zones A and B.
Zone A
Zone A consists of Planning Areas R-2A, R-2B, R-5A, R-5B and R-9A. All of these planning
areas are currently sold to or are planned to be sold to affiliated merchant builders. This Tax
Zone consists of all single family detached units with Planning Area R-2A consisting of 92 units,
Planning area R-2B consisting of 106 units, Plarming area R-5A consisting of 51 units,
Planning area R-5B consisting of 55 units, Planning area R-9A Phase 1 consisting of 99 units
and Planning area R-9A Phase 2 consisting of 40 units.
At build-out, it is expected that Zone A will consist of approximately 443 Single Family
Detached Units. The Single Family uses are anticipated to generate approximately 961,098
square feet of residential building square footage. The total taxable acreage for this Tax Zone is
approximately 45.53 acres.
Zone B
Zone B consists of Planning Areas R-7A, R-7B, R-8, R-9B, R-9D, S-I, C-1 and CPF-1 and CPF
1-x. All of these planning areas are currently sold to or are planned to be sold to affiliated
merchant builders. This Tax Zone consists of single family detached units, single family attached
units, apartments, conunercial property, a park, a school, and Community purpose facilities.
Planning Area R-7A consists of 92 single family attached units, Planning Area R-7B consists of
201 single family attached units, Planning Area R-8 consists of 336 Apartments, Planning Area
R-9B consists of 159 single family attached and 73 single family detached units, Planning Area
R-9D consists of 49 single family detached units, S-1 consists of an Elementary School Site, C-1
consists of a Cormnercial site, CPF-1 consists of a Church and CPF-lx consists of a proposed
Swim Center.

units, 501 single family attached units, 336 Apartments, a 2.9 acre commemial site, a 7.5 acre
Community Facilities District No. O&l Page 2
Otay Ranch Village Six December 2002
park, a 7.7 acre school site, a 4.5 acre church site and a 1.5 acre swim club site. The Single
Family Uses are anticipated to generate approximately 1,075,040 square feet of residential
building square footage. The total taxable acreage for this Tax Zone is approximately 47.13
acres.
Special taxes for CFD No. 08-I (Otay Ranch Village Six) for Zone A and Zone B shall be levied
to Taxable Property to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement as follows:
· First, to Developed Property within Zone A and Zone B up to the Maximum Annual Special
Tax;
· Second, if necessary, to Undeveloped Property within Zone A and Zone B up to the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
· Third, if necessary, the Maximum Annual Special Tax within Zone A and Zone B derived by
the application of the Backup Special Tax increased proportionately from the Assigned
Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax and;
· Fourth, if necessary, Special Tax within Zone A and Zone B increased proportionately on all
Provisional Undeveloped Property up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax.
III. DESCRIPTION AND ESTIMATED COST OF PROPOSED FACILITIES
A. Description of Proposed Public Improvements
A community facilities district may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or
rehabilitation of any real or tangible property, including public facilities and
infrastructure improvements with an estimated useful life of five (5) years or longer,
which is necessary to meet increased demands placed upon local agencies as a result of
development or rehabilitation occurring within the community facilities district. In
addition, a community facilities district may pay in full all amounts necessary to
eliminate any fixed special assessment liens or to pay, repay, or defease any obligation to
pay or any indebtedness secured by any tax, fee, charge, or assessment levied within the
area of the community facilities district.
The facilities described in this Report are all facilities which the legislative body creating
CFD-08-i is authorized to own, construct, or finance, and which are required, in part, to
adequately meet the needs of CFD-08-I. The approved Acquisition and Financing
Agreement sets the priority for the financing of these facilities. In addition, the facilities
meet the criteria for authorized public facilities set forth in the City's Statement of Goals
and Policies regarding the establishment of Community Facilities Districts. The actual
facilities described herein are those currently expected to be required to adequately meet,
in part, the needs of CFD-08-I. Because the actual needs of CFD-08-I arising as
development progresses therein may differ from those currently anticipated, CFD-08-I
reserves the right to modify the priority of the facilities proposed herein to the extent
CFD-08-I deems necessary, in its sole discretion to meet those needs.
The Special Taxes required to pay for the construction or financing of said facilities will be
Community Facilities District No. 08-1 Page 3
Otay Ranch Village Six December 2002
apportioned as described in the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) of the Special Tax
for CFD-08-I.
Proceeds of the proposed bonded indebtedness of CFD-08-I will be used to finance
backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e., grading, sewer, streets, landscaping,
utilities, etc.), public facilities, DIF Improvements and Traffic Enhancement Facilities.
Following is a general description of the proposed facilities:

IV. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
A. Proiected Bond Sale
For CFD-08-I there is proposed to be one issuance of bonds. The bond amount for CFD-
08-I will be approximately $18.5 million, which will finance approximately $14.7 million
in facilities. The bonds for are presently plaimed to be sold in the Spring of 2003. The
bonds issued by CFD-08-I will meet the terms and conditions of special tax bonds set
forth in the City's Statement of Goals and Policies Regarding the Establishment of
Community Facilities Districts.
Bo
Incidental Bond Issuance Expenses to be Included in the Proposed Bonded
Indebtedness for CFD-08-1
Pursuant to Section 53345.3 of the Act, bonded indebtedness may include all costs and
estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for
which the proposed debt is to be incurred, including, but not limited to, the costs of legal,
fiscal, and financial consultant fees; bond and other reserve funds; discount fees; interest
on any bonds of the district due and payable prior to the expiration of one year from the
date of completion of the facilities, not to exceed two years; election costs; and all costs
of issuance of the bonds, including, but not limited to, fees for bond counsel, costs of
obtaining credit ratings, bond insurance premiums, fees for letters of credit, and other
credit enhancement costs, and printing costs. The reserve fund is estimated to be the
maximum allowable under Federal Tax Law. All other incidental bond issuance expenses
are estimated at 4 % of the face amount of the bonds.
Incidental Expenses to be Included in the Annual Levy of Special Taxes for
CFD-08-I.
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, the proceeds of any special tax may only be used to
pay, in whole or part, the cost of providing public facilities, services and incidental
expenses. As defined by the Act, incidental expenses include, but are not limited to, the
cost of planning and designing public facilities to be financed, including the cost of
environmental evaluations of those facilities; the costs associated with the creation of the
district, issuance of bonds, determination of the amount of taxes, collection of taxes,
payment of taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized
purposes of the disthct; any other expenses incidental to the construction, completion,
and inspection of the authorized ~vork; and the retirement of existing bonded
indebtedness. While the actual cost of administering CFD-08-I may vary, it is anticipated
that the amount of special taxes, which can be collected, will be sufficient to fund at least
$75,000 in annual administrative expenses.
Community Facilities District No. 08 1 Page 5
Otay Ranch Village Six December 2002
V. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
All of the property located within CFD-08-I, unless exempted by law, shall be taxed for the
purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve CFD-08-I. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the
Act, the tax imposed "is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement
that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property." The Special Tax "may be
based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making facilities or authorized
services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body,"
although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article
XIIIA of the California Constitution.
As shown in Exhibit B, the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) provides information
sufficient to allow each property owner within CFD-08-I to estimate the maximum annual
Special Tax he or she will be required to pay. Sections A through C below, provide additional
information on the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) of the Special Tax for CFD-08-I.
A. Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
When a community facilities district is formed, a Special Tax may be levied on each
parcel of taxable property within the CFD to pay for the construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded
indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by CFD-08-I. This Special Tax must be
apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, the tax may not be apportioned on an ad
valorem basis.
When more than one type of land use is present within a community facilities district,
several criteria may be considered when apportioning the Special Tax. Generally, criteria
based on building square footage, acreage, and land uses are selected, and categories
based on such criteria are established to differentiate between parcels of property. These
categories are a direct result of the developer's projected product mix, and are reflective
of the proposed land use types within that community facilities district. Specific Special
Tax levels are assigned to each land use class, with all parcels within a land use class
assigned the same Special Tax rate.
The Act does not require the Special Taxes to be apportioned to individual parcels based
on benefit received. However, in order to insure fairness and equity, benefit principles
have been incoiporated in establishing the Special Tax rates for CFD-08-I.
The major assumption inherent in the Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method
of Apportionment is that the level of benefit received from the proposed public
improvements is a function of land use. This assumption is borne out through an
examination of commonly accepted statistical measures.
For example, in measuring average weekday vehicle trip-ends, the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's 1995 Trip Generation report identifies land use as the primary
determinant of trip-end magnitude. Commemial land uses typically generate mom trip-

-7 7
Bo
Co
Do
ends than do single family residential land use. Similarly, larger single family detached
dwellings typically generate a greater number of trip-ends than do smaller single family
detached homes, and therefore, will tend to receive more benefit from road grading, road
landscaping and road improvements.
Drainage and flood control requirements generally vary with the amount of impervious
ground cover per parcel. It follows that larger homes which have more impervious
ground cover will create relatively more drainage flow than smaller homes.
Special taxes for CFD-08-I shall be levied to Taxable Property to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement as outlined in the RMA for CFD-08-I.
The Land Use Class Categories of Taxation have been established for CFD-08-I. The
categories are defined as follows:
Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi-family residences) are taxed on the
square footage of the building; and
Non-Residential Developed Parcels are taxed based on the acreage of the parcel.
Based on the types of public facilities that are proposed for CFD-08-I and the factors
described above, the Special Taxes assigned to specific land uses are generally
proportionate to the relative benefits received by them, and, accordingly, the Special
Taxes in CFD-08-I can be considered fair and reasonable.
Assiened Soecial Tax Rates
Exhibit C lists the Assigned Special Tax rates that are proposed to be levied against
Residential Property and Non Residential Property within CFD-08-I. This is the proposed
Special Tax for Developed Property to meet the debt service obligation to pay for the
Bonds.
Backup Special Tax
When a Final Subdivision Map is recorded within CFD-08-I, the Backup Special Tax for
Assessors Parcels of Developed Property classified as Residential Property or Non-
Residential Property will be determined pursuant to Section C.l.b of the RMA. This
Special Tax can be used if the Assigned Special Tax does not cover the current debt
service obligation.
Maximum Annual Special Tax Rate
The City Council will annually determine the actual amount of the Special Tax levy on
property based on the method described in the RMA's and subject to the Maximum
Annual Special Tax. The Maximum Annual Special Tax Rate for Developed Residential
Property is the greater of the Assigned Special Tax or the Backup Special Tax. The
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Non-Residential, Undeveloped and Provisional
Community Facilities District No. 08-1 Page 7
Otay Ranch Village Six December 2002
Eo
Undeveloped Property is $14,981 per Acre for Zone A and $24,418 per Acre for Zone B.
The City will levy a Special Tax to the extent necessary, sufficient to meet the Special
Tax Requirement.
Accuracy of Information
In order to establish the Assigned Special Tax rates and the Backup Special Tax as set
forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD-08-I, McGill Martin Self, Inc.

Residential Property upon the development thereof within the Final Subdivision Map
area.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if an Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property, Non-
Residential Property or Undeveloped Property for which the Backup Special Tax has
been determined are subsequently changed or modified by recordation of a new or

D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2003-04 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council
shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the
amount of Special Taxes equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be
levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on all Developed Property within
Zone A and Zone B at a rate up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy
the Special Tax Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on all
Undeveloped Property within Zone A and Zone B, at a rate up to 100% of the Maximum
Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property. In determining the Acreage of an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for purposes of determining the annual Special
Tax to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel, the CFD Administrator shall not include any
Acreage shown on any applicable tentative subdivision map or other land use entitlement
approved by the City that designates such Acreage for a use that would be classifted as
Open Space, Property Owner Association Property, Community Purpose Facility or Public
Property.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy thc Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's Parcel
of Developed Property whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the application
of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special
Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Developed Property..
City of Chula Vista
Community Facilities District No. 08-1
Otay Ranch Village Six
11-25-02
Page 7
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on all Provisional Undeveloped Property at a rate up to 100% of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any
Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent per year as
a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by the owner of
any other Taxable Property.
E. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify the following as Exempt Property: (i)
Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Community
Purpose Facility Property, (iv) Open Space and (v) Assessor's Parcels with public
or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the
purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such classification
shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A
and 42.43 Acres in Zone B. Property which cannot be classified as Exempt
Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable
Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A and 42.43 Acres in Zone B will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the
fourth step of Section D. Tax exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property
becomes Exempt Property.
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public agency but
which is classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant to paragraph 1
of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H. 1, prior to
the transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency. Until the
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid,
the property shall continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as
Provisional Undeveloped Property.
If the use of an Assessor's Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such
Assessor's Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in paragraph 1
that would make such Assessor's Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt
Property, such Assessor's Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property
and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their
Assessor's Pamel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such
error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has
occurred the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such
City of Chula Vista
Community Facilities District No. 08-]
?ray Ranch Village Six
11-25-02
Page 8
Assessor's Parcel. If following such consultation and action (if any by the CFD
Administrator), the landowner or resident believes such error still exists, such person may
file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax
levied on such Assessor's Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such notice,' the City Clerk shall
forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the
proceedings and administration of CFD-08-I a special three-member Review/Appeal
Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems
necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee
shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to
the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as
herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding
as to all persons.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD-08-I, may directly bill
the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if
necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are delinquent in the payment of
Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond

Bonds to be secured by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of
Apportionment.
"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold
funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the CFD Public

Otay Ranch Village Six
11-25-02
Page 9
the date of prepayment and (iii) directly from Special Tax revenues and (b) the amount of
the proceeds of all previously issued Bonds then on deposit in the Construction Fund.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum
Annual Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid
and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as
described herein; provided, however that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.
Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may
charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure, which can be collected prior to preparing
such calculation.
The prepayment amount shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as
defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus

Total: equals
Redemption Premium
Future Facilities Amount
Defeasance Amount
Prepayment Fees and Expenses

Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amotmt (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Step No.:
For Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for the
Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Undeveloped Property for which a building
permit has been issued to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the building permit, issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For Provisional
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for

such Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped
Property.
Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step 1 by the sum of
the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be levied
within CFD-08-I excluding any Assessor's Parcels for which the Maximum Annual
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
if all the Bonds authorized to be issued for CFD-08-I have not been issued, compute
the Future Facilities Costs.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the amount if any, determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be allocated to
such Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount').
Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year, which have not yet been paid.
Determine the fees and expenses of CFD-08-I, including but not limited to, the costs
of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment, and the cost of
recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the
"Prepayment Fees and Expenses")
Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the prepayment amount less the Prepayment Fees and Expenses, as
determined pursuant to step 10, from the date of prepayment until the redemption
date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to steps 7 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to step 11 (the "Defeasance Amount").
City of Chula Vista
Community Facilities District No. 08-I

13.
The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
14.
If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized
interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to
step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest
payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
15.
The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 6, 10, and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant
to steps 13 and 14 (the "Prepayment Amount").
16.
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 12, 13,
and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to step 10 shall be retained by CFD-08-I. The
amount computed pursuant to step 6 shall be deposited in the Construction Fund.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined

a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by the owner of
any other Taxable Property.
E. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify the following as Exempt Property: (i)
Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Community
Purpose Facility Property, (iv) Open Space and (v) Assessor's Parcels with public
or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the
purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such classification
shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A
and 42.43 Acres in Zone B. Property which cannot be classified as Exempt
Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable
Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A and 42.43 Acres in Zone B will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the
fourth step of Section D. Tax exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property
becomes Exempt Property.
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public agency but
which is classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant to paragraph 1
of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.1, prior to
the transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency. Until the
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid,
the property shall continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as
Provisional Undeveloped Property.
If the use of an Assessor's Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such
Assessor's Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in paragraph 1
that would make such Assessor's Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt
Property, such Assessor's Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property
and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their
Assessor's Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such
error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has
occurred the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such
City of Chula Vista
Community Facilities District No. 08-1
Otay Ranch Village Six
11-25~02
Page8
Assessor's Parcel. If following such consultation and action (if any by the CFD
Administrator), the landowner or resident believes such error still exists, such person may
file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax
levied on such Assessor's Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall
forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the
proceedings and administration of CFD-08-I a special three-member Review/Appeal
Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems
necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee
shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to
the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as
herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding
as to all persons.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD-08-I, may directly bill
the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if
necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are delinquent in the payment of
Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond
tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
Council.

The following definition applies to this Section H:
"CFD Public Facilities" means those public facilities authorized to be financed by CFD-
08-I.
"CFD Public Facilities Costs" means either $19 million, or such lower number as shall
be determined either by (a) the CFD Administrator as sufficient to finance the CFD Public
Facilities, or (b) the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more
Bonds to be secured by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of
Apportionment.
"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold
funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the CFD Public
Facilities.

age
the date of prepayment and (iii) directly from Special Tax revenues and (b) the mount of
the proceeds of all previously issued Bonds then on deposit in the Construction Fund.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum
Annual Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid
and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as
described herein; provided, however that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.
Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may
charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure, which can be collected prior to preparing
such calculation.
The prepayment amount shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as
defined below):
Total:
Bond Redemption Amount

As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Step No.:
For Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for the
Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Undeveloped Property for which a building
permit has been issued to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the building permit, issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For Provisional
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for

such Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped
Property.
Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step ! by the sum of
the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be levied
within CFD-08-I excluding any Assessor's Parcels for which the Maximum Annual
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
If all the Bonds authorized to be issued for CFD-08-I have not been issued, compute
the Future Facilities Costs.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the mount if any, determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be allocated to
such Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount'S.
Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year, which have not yet been paid.
Determine the fees and expenses of CFD-08-I, including but not limited to, the costs
of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment, and the cost of
recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the
"Prepayment Fees and Expenses")
Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the prepayment amount less the Prepayment Fees and Expenses, as
determined pursuant to step 10, from the date of prepayment until the redemption
date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to steps 7 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to step i 1 (the "Defeasance Amount").

The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amotmt derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
14.
If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized
interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to
step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest
payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
15.
The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 6, 10, and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant
to steps 13 and 14 (the "Prepayment Amount").
16.
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 12, 13,
and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to step 10 shall be retained by CFD-08-I. The
amount computed pursuant to step 6 shall be deposited in the Construction Fund.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under step 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special
Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the
Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allo~ved unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within
CFD-08-I, both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.

2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:
PP = (PE x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE -- the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H. 1, minus Prepayment Fees
and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
F the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.
A- the Prepayment Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially
prepay the Maximum Armual Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum
Annual Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as
the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a
statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute
the funds remitted to it according to step 16 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records
of CFD-08-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax
and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage
(1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Annual Special Tax shall continue to be authorized
to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
I. TERM OF MAXIMUM ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX
The Maximum Annual Special Tax shall be levied commencing in Fiscal Year 2003-2004
to the extent necessary to fully satisfy the Special Tax Requirement and shall be levied for

Ill. DESCRIPTION AND ESTIMATED COST OF PROPOSED FACILITIES
A. Description of Proposed Public Improvements
A community facilities district may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or
rehabilitation of any real or tangible property, including public facilities and
infrastructure improvements with an estimated useful life of five (5) years or longer,
which is necessary to meet increased demands placed upon local agencies as a result of
development or rehabilitation occurring within the community facilities district. In
addition, a community facilities district may pay in full all amounts necessary to
eliminate any fixed special assessment liens or to pay, repay, or defease any obligation to
pay or any indebtedness secured by any tax, fee, charge, or assessment levied within the
area of the community facilities district.
The facilities described in this Report are all facilities which the legislative body creating
CFD-08-I is authorized to own, construct, or finance, and which are required, in part, to
adequately meet the needs of CFD-08-1. The approved Acquisition and Financing
Agreement sets the priority for the financing of these facilities. In addition, the facilities
meet the criteria for authorized public facilities set forth in the City's Statement of Goals
and Policies regarding the establishment of Community Facilities Districts. The actual
facilities described herein are those currently expected to be required to adequately meet,
in part, the needs of CFD-08-1. Because the actual needs of CFD-08-I arising as
development progresses therein may differ from those currently anticipated, CFD-08-I
reserves the right to modify the priority of the facilities proposed herein to the extent
CFD-08-1 deems necessary, in its sole discretion to meet those needs.
The Special Taxes required to pay for the construction or financing of said facilities will be
('ommu~tit3; Facilities Dislric! No 08 I Page 3
Ora), Ra~lch V~llage Stx December 2002
apportioned as described in the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) of the Special Tax
for CFD-08-I.
Proceeds of the proposed bonded indebtedness of CFD-08-I will be used to finance
backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e., grading, sewer, streets, landscaping,
utilities, etc.), public facilities, DIF Improvements and Traffic Enhancement Facilities.
Following is a general description of the proposed facilities:
· La Media Road
· West Olympic Parkway (Portion)
· Otay Lakes Road
· Birch Road
· East Palomar Street
· ViewPark Street
· Magdalena Avenue
· Santa Venetia Street
· "Traffic Enhancement Facilities"
· Facilities to be financed by Development Impact Program Fees
B. Estimated Cost of Proposed Public Improvements
The facilities and the estimated costs herein are subject to review and confirmation. The
costs listed in Table 1 are estimates only, based upon current construction and land costs
and actual costs may differ from those estimates herein.

IV. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
Projected Bond Sale
For CFD-08-I there is proposed to be one issuance of bonds. The bond amount for CFD-
08-I will be approximately $18.5 million, which will finance approximately $14.7 million
in facilities. The bonds for are presently planned to be sold in the Spring of 2003. The
bonds issued by CFD-08-I will meet the terms and conditions of special tax bonds set
forth in the City's Statement of Goals and Policies Regarding the Establishment of
Community Facilities Districts.
Incidental Bond Issuance Expenses to be Included in the Proposed Bonded
Indebtedness for CFD-08-I
Pursuant to Section 53345.3 of the Act, bonded indebtedness may include all costs and
estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for
which the proposed debt is to be incurred, including, but not limited to, the costs of legal,
fiscal, and financial consultant fees; bond and other reserve funds; discount fees; interest
on any bonds of the district due and payable prior to the expiration of one year fi.om the
date of completion of the facilities, not to exceed two years; election costs; and all costs
of issuance of the bonds, including, but not limited to, fees for bond counsel, costs of
obtaining credit ratings, bond insurance premiums, fees for letters of credit, and other
credit enhancement costs, and printing costs. The reserve fund is estimated to be the
maximum allowable under Federal Tax Law. All other incidental bond issuance expenses
are estimated at 4 % of the face mnount of the bonds.
Incidental Expenses to be Included in the Annual Levy of Special Taxes for
CFD-08-I.
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, the proceeds of any special tax may only be used to
pay, in whole or part, the cost of providing public facilities, services and incidental
expenses. As defined by the Act, incidental expenses include, but are not limited to, the
cost of planning and designing public facilities to be financed, including the cost of
environmental evaluations of those l~acilities; the costs associated with the creation of the
district, issuance of bonds, determination of the amount of taxes, collection of taxes,
payment of taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized
purposes of the district; any other expenses incidental to the construction, completi6n,
and inspection of the authorized work; and the retirement of existing bonded
indebtedness. While the actual cost of administering CFD-08-I may vary, it is anticipated
that the amount of special taxes, which can be collected, will be sufficient to fund at least
$75,000 in annual administrative expenses.
V. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
All of the property located within CFD-08-1, unless exempted by law, shall be taxed for the
purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve CFD-08-I. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the
Act, the tax imposed "is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement
that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property." The Special Tax "may be
based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making facilities or authorized
services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body,"
although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article
XIIIA of the California Constitution.
As shown in Exhibit B, the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) provides information
sufficient to allow each property owner within CFD-08-I to estimate the maximum annual
Special Tax he or she will be required to pay. Sections A through C below, provide additional
information on the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) of the Special Tax for CFD-08-I.
A. Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
When a community facilities district is formed, a Special Tax may be levied on each
parcel of taxable property within the CFD to pay for the construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded
indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by CFD-08-I. This Special Tax must be
apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, the tax may not be apportioned on an ad
valorem basis.
When more than one type of land use is present within a community facilities district,
several criteria may be considered when apportioning the Special Tax. Generally, criteria
based on building square footage, acreage, and land uses are selected, and categories
based on such criteria are established to differentiate between parcels of property. These
categories are a direct result of the developer's projected product mix, and are reflective
of the proposed land use types within that community facilities district. Specific Special
Tax levels are assigned to each land use class, with all pamels within a land use class
assigned the same Special Tax rate.
The Act does not require the Special Taxes to be apportioned to individual parcels based
on benefit received. However, in order to insure fairness and equity, benefit principles
have been incorporated in establishing the Special Tax rates for CFD-08-I.
The r}~ajor assumption inherent in the Special Tax rates set forth in the Rate and Method
of Apportionment is that the level of benefit received from the proposed public
improvements is a function of land use. This assumption is borne out through an
examination of commonly accepted statistical measures.
For example, in measuring average weekday vehicle trip-ends, the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's 1995 Trip Generation report identifies land use as the primary
Community Facilittex Dt,strict No. 08-I Page 6
Otto' Ranch l/ill~g~, 3).~ August 2002
determinant of trip-end magnitude. Commercial land uses typically generate more trip-
ends than do single family residential land use. Similarly, larger single family detached
dwellings typically generate a greater number of trip-ends than do smaller single family
detached homes, and therefore, will tend to receive more benefit from road grading, road
landscaping and road improvements.
Drainage and flood control requirements generally vary with the amount of impervious
ground cover per parcel. It follows that larger homes which have more impervious
ground cover will create relatively more drainage flow than smaller homes.
Special taxes for CFD-08-i shall be levied to Taxable Property to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement as outlined in the RMA for CFD-08-I.
The Land Use Class Categories of Taxation have been established for CFD-08-I. The
categories are defined as folloxvs:
Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi-family residences) are taxed on the
square footage of the building; and
Non-Residential Developed Parcels are taxed based on the acreage of the parcel.
Based on the types of public facilities that are proposed for CFD-08-I and the factors
described above, the Special Taxes assigned to specific land uses are generally
proportionate to the relative benefits received by them, and, accordingly, the Special
Taxes in CFD-08-I can be considered fair and reasonable.
Assigned Special Tax Rates
Exhibit C lists the Assigned Special Tax rates that are proposed to be levied against
Residential Property and Non Residential Property within CFD-08-I. This is the proposed
Special Tax for Developed Property to meet the debt service obligation to pay for the
Bonds.
Backup Special Tax
When a Final Subdivision Map is recorded within CFD-08-I, the Backup Special Tax for
Assessors Parcels of Developed Property classified as Residential Property or Non-
Residential Property ~vill be determined pursuant to Section C.l.b of the RMA. This
Special Tax can be used if the Assigned Special Tax does not cover the current debt
service obligation.
Maximum Annual Special Tax Rate
The City Council will annually determine the actual amount of the Special Tax levy on
property based on the method described in the RMA's and subject to the Maximum
Annual Special Tax. The Maximum Annual Special Tax Rate for Developed Residential
Property is the greater of the Assigned Special Tax or the Backup Special Tax. The
Otoy Ra,ch Vdlage Str December 2002
to
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Non-Residential, Undeveloped and Provisional
Undeveloped Property is $14,981 per Acre for Zone A and $24,418 per Acre for Zone B.
The City will levy a Special Tax to the extent necessary, sufficient to meet the Special
Tax Requirement.
Accuracy of Information
In order to establish the Assigned Special Tax rates and the Backup Special Tax as set
forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD-08-I, McGill Martin Self, Inc.
has relied on information including, but not limited to absorption, land-use types,
building square footage, and net taxable acreage which were provided to McGill Martin
Self, Inc. by others. McGill Martin Self, Inc. has not independently verified such data
and disclaims responsibility for the impact of inaccurate data provided by others, if any,
on the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD-08-I, including the inability to meet
the financial obligations of CFD-08-1.
VI. BOUNDARIES OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
The boundaries of' CFD-08-I include all land on which the Special Taxes may be levied.
The Recorded Boundary Map of the area included within CFD-08-I is provided as
Exhibit A.
VII. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Substitution Facilities
The description of the public facilities, as set forth herein, are general in their nature. The
final nature and location of improvements and facilities will be determined upon the
preparation of final plans and specifications. The final plans may show substitutes, in
lieu or modifications to the proposed work in order to accomplish the work of
improvement, and any such substitution shall not be a change or modification in the
proceedings as long as the facilities provide a service and are of a type substantially
similar to that as set forth in this Report.
Transportation Enhancement Facilities
The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to authorize and make the proceeds of any
subsequent series of bonds available to pay the cost of construction or the purchase price
for the acquisition of Improvements for Transportation Enhancement Facilities. This
could result in the revision of' the facilities priority structure in the Acquisition and
Financing Agreement for the utilization of such proceeds.
C. Appeals
Any landowner who feels that the amount of the Special Tax is in error may file a notice
with the City Administrator, appealing the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to the
('ommu~ity Facilities District No 08 ] Page 8
Otqv Ra~lch Village Sir August 2002
procedure specified in Exhibit B. As appropriate the City Administrator will then review
the appeal and, if necessary, meet with the applicant. If the findings of the City
Administrator verify that the amount of the Special Tax should be modified or changed,
then, as appropriate, the Special Tax levy shall be corrected, pursuant to Section F. of the
RMA.

first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on all
Undeveloped Property within Zone A and Zone B, at a rate up to 100% of the Maximum
Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property. In determining the Acreage of an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for purposes of determining the annual Special
Tax to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel, the CFD Administrator shall not include any
Acreage shown on any applicable tentative subdivision map or other land use entitlement
approved by the City that designates such Acreage for a use that would be classified as
Open Space, Property Owner Association Property, Community Purpose Facility or Public
Property.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's Parcel
of Developed Property whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the application
of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special
Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Developed Property..

Otay Ranch Fillage Six Page 7
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on all Provisional Undeveloped Property at a rate up to 100% of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any
Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent per year as
a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by the owner of
any other Taxable Property.
E. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify the following as Exempt Property: (i)
Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Community
Purpose Facility Property, (iv) Open Space and (v) Assessor's Parcels with public
or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the
purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such classification
shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A
and 42.43 Acres in Zone B. Property which cannot be classified as Exempt
Property because such classification ~vould reduce the Acreage of all Taxable
Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A and 42.43 Acres in Zone B will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the
fourth step of Section D. Tax exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property
becomes Exempt Property.
The Maximum A~mual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public agency but
which is classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant to paragraph 1
of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.1, prior to
the transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency. Until the
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid,
the property shall continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as
Provisional Undeveloped Property.
If the use of an Assessor's Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such
Assessor's Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in paragraph I
that would make such Assessor's Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt
Property, such Assessor's Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property
and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their
Assessor's Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such
error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has
occurred the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such
Ci(v of Chuh~ Vista 11-25-02
Community Facilities District No. 08-1
Otay Ranch Village Six Page 8
Assessor's Parcel. If following such consultation and action (if any by the CFD
Administrator), the landowner or resident believes such error still exists, such person may
file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax
levied on such Assessor's Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall
forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the
proceedings and administration of CFD-08-1 a special three-member Review/Appeal
Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems
necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee
shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to
the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as
herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding
as to all persons.
G. MANNEROF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD-08~I, may directly bill
the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if
necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are delinquent in the payment of
Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond
tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
Council.

"Outstanding Bonds" means ali previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,

Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum
Annual Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid
and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as
described herein; provided, however that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.
Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may
charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure, which can be collected prior to preparing
such calculation.
The prepayment amount shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as
defined below):

For Developed Property, compute the Maximum ArmuaI Special Tax for the
Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Undeveloped Property for which a building
permit has been issued to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the building permit, issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For Provisional
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for

such Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped
Property.
Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step 1 by the sum of
the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be levied
within CFD-08-[ excluding any Assessor's Parcels for which the Maximum Annual
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
If all the Bonds authorized to be issued for CFD-08-I have not been issued, compute
the Future Facilities Costs.
Multiply thc quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the amount if any, determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be allocated to
such Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount').
Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year, which have not yet been paid.
Determine the fees and expenses of CFD-08-1, including but not limited to, the costs
of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment, and the cost of
recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the
"Prepayment Fees and Expenses")
Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the prepayment amount less the Prepayment Fees and Expenses, as
determined pursuant to step 10, from the date of prepayment until the redemption
date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to steps 7 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to step 11 (the "D~feasance Amount").

13.
The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser off (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
14.
If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized
interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to
step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest
payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
15.
The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 6, 10, and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant
to steps 13 and 14 (the "Prepctyment Amount").
16.
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 12, 13,
and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to step 10 shall be retained by CFD-08-I. The
amount computed pursuant to step 6 shall be deposited in the Construction Fund.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under step 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special
Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the
Special Tax Iien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Atmual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within
CFD-08-1, both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.

Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:

The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially
prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum

the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a
statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute
the funds remitted to it according to step 16 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records
of CFD-08-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax
and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage
(1.00 - F) of the remaining Maxlmum Annual Special Tax shall continue to be authorized
to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
i. TERM OF MAXIMUM ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX

Meeting Date 1/14/03
ITEM TITLE:
Public Heating to take public testimony to change and modify the types of public
facilities authotized to be financed by Community Facilities District No. 2001-2
(McMillin-Otay Ranch Village Six)
A) Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, California
in its capacity as the legislative body of Community Facilities District No.
2001-2 (McMillin-Otay Ranch - Village Six), making certain determinations and
authotizing the submittal of the proposed modifications to the facilities
authorized to be financed by such Community Facilities district to the qualified
electors thereof
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
Director of EngineTring~/
City Manager
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On November 26, 2002 Council approved the intention of consideration to changes and modification to
the types of public facilities authorized to be financed by Community Facilities District No. 2001-2
(McMillin-Otay Ranch Village Six).
Tonight's action will continue the formal proceedings leading to the change and modification to the types
of public facilities authotized to be financed by Community Facilities District No. 2001-2, subject to the
approval of the qualified electors.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
Open the Hearing, take public testimony, close the public hearing;
Approve the Resolution (A) for the consideration to change and modify the type of public
ihcilities authorized to be financed by CFD No. 2001-2
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The public hearing is to be held for the purpose for the consideration to change and modify the type of
public facilities authorized to be financed by CFD No. 2001-2. The Resolution of Intention to change and
modify the type of public facilities was approved by City Council on November 26, 2002.
The McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC had formally requested (letter dated November 7, 2002, Exhibit A) the
City for consideration of changes and modification to the types of public facilities authorized to be
financed by Community Facilities District No. 2001-2 (the "District") pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act of
1982 1hr the purpose of financing the construction and/or acquisition of certain public improvements
serving Village Six of the Otay Ranch.
Page 2, Item ~
Meeting Date 1/14/03
The Improvements
The City of Chula Vista and the McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC have mutually agreed that by financing the
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) component this will allow the City of Chula Vista to
obtain need funds for the type of authorized public facilities stated within the PFDIF Ordinance No. 2320
(such as civic center, fire stations, etc.). If approved, the PFDIF component will also be added to the list
of authorized public facilities as an amendment to the Acquisition/Finance Agreement.
The developer is proposing the financing of backbone streets and associated improvements (i.e., grading,
sewer, streets, landscaping, & utilities), eligible Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) and
Non- TDIF improvements, as welt as the pedestrian bridge fee. Exhibit B shows an amended list of
facilities with a total cost estimate of $16 million. Tonight, Council would be approving the addition of
the PFDIF Fee component and will allow certain PFDIF public facilities to be authorized and financed by
District. It is estimated that approximately $9.8 million of bonds may be supported by this District,
raising an estimated $7.8 million for project proceeds. A final priority list and cost estimate of the
improvements eligible for District financing have been described within the Amended
Acquisition/Financing Agreement which will brought to the City Council in following months for
consideration and approval.
Ultimately, as subdivision exactions, the developer will finance improvements that this District cannot
finance. The proposed District lies within portions of various Development Impact Fee (DIF) benefit
areas (Poggi Canyon Sewer, Transportation, and the proposed Pedestrian Bridge DIFs) which places a cap
on the District's ability to finance these improvements. Staff will work with the developer to achieve a
balance between DIF and non-DIF improvements within the District.
The addition of the PIFDIF facilities will not change the assigned Special Tax as stated within the
approved RMA.
Resolutions
There is only one resolution on today's agenda that, if adopted, will accomplish the following:
The RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS

Meeting Date: 1/14/03
ITEM TITLE:
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM-03-17; Consideration of a request by ACI
Sunbow to enter into a development agreement with the City of Chula Vista
which would allow them to vest their entitlements for industrial development
on property in the Sunbow Development located south of Olympic Parkway
and east of Brandywine Avenue. - City of Chula Vista.
ORDINANCE: approving a Development Agreement between the City of
Chula Vista and ACI, Sunbow,LLC for industrial park land within the
Sunbow Development.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and Building
REVIEWED BY: City Manager,~ (4/5 Vote: Yes'__No_X)
This item is for the consideration of the City of Chula Vista to enter into a development agreement
with ACI Sunbow, LLC in order to allow them to vest their entitlements for industrial development
on property in the Sunbow Development located south of Olympic Parkway.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the proposed project was adequately
covered in previously adopted Sunbow II Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Final Environmental
Impact Report, FEIR-88-01. Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed Development Agreement for ACI Sunbow, LLC, and place the Ordinance on
first reading.
BOARDS AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On December 18, 2002, the Planning Commission considered the proposed project and then voted
4-0-1 - 1 to adopt the Planning Commission Resolution recommending that the City Council approve
the Ordinance approving the proposed Development Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Sunbow is a master planned development located east ofl-805 and south of Telegraph Canyon Road
extending southerly of Olympic Parkway. The project was approved in the early nineties for 1,977
dwelling units, a neighborhood shopping center, neighborhood park, fire station, and an industrial
Page No. 2, Item: /
Meeting Date: 1/14/03
park. The residential and commercial portion of the property is virtually built out and has been
developed in accordance with the project approvals. The 64.7-acre industrial park which lies south of
Olympic Parkway is yet to be developed (see locator). The tentative map approved on the industrial
site will expire in May, 2003.
The City's General Plan and the Draft economic development strategy both envision the location of
several industrial business parks throughout the City for high technology, biotech and manufacturing
uses. These include this site, as well as lands within Otay Ranch and the EastLake Business Park.
The development of these lands is part ora comprehensive balanced land use approach for the City
and to enable the creation of high paying jobs for Chula Vista and the South Bay.
Analysis
The development agreement will vest the owners right to develop the subject property to an
industrial use subject to complying with ali the requirements of the agreement, existing project
approvals and City codes and ordinances. The project will continue to be subject to the City's
threshold standards and growth management ordinance. This requirement is applicable to any new
development agreement and has been incorporated into all of the City's existing development
agreements.
Benefits to the City:
As consideration for the agreement, the recitals (see pages 2 & 3 of the agreement) acknowledge that
the owner has satisfied the following:
Advanced $1.5 million for the construction of Olympic Parkway
· Contributed $32,240 toward acquisition of mitigation land in O'Neil Canyon
· Has advanced $7 million to satisfy their park obligation which includes renovation work to
Greg Rogers Park ($600,000), provisions of a 10 acre park site, advanced funds for park
construction ($1.5 million), and advanced additional monies ($4.9 million) for other park and
recreation purposes within the City.
in addition, the owner will be contributing $100,000 for capital improvements to the Chula Vista
Nature Center. The contribution will occur within 30 days of the effective date of the Ordinance
approving the development agreement.
Benefits to the Owner:
The industrial property has cleared environmental review and has an approved General Development
Plan, Sectional Planning Area Plan and Tentative Subdivision Map. Were it not for the development
agreement, the owner would be faced with two alternatives both of which are problematic: 1) refile a
new map and possibly be subject to new, as yet unknown, environmental or other development
requirements or 2) file a final map at this time (without a contemplated developer or user), have to
post bonds for on-site improvement requirements and other requirements of the tentative map etc.
Page No. 3, Item: vl
Meeting Date: 1/14/03
The result could be premature expenditures that might be lost depending upon the desires and needs
of the ultimate industrial developer.
CONCLUSION:
In sum, the benefits of the agreement are similar to the benefits the City has provided in its various
other development agreements and will protect the entitlements for this industrial property.
For the reasons noted above, staff recommends approval of the project in accordance with the
attached Planning Commission Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the agreement is substantial to the City as enumerated in the terms of the
development agreement including the $100,000 donation to the Nature Center. The ultimate
development of the industrial park will also benefit the City in an unknown amount in the future.

Director of Planning and Buildin~i~
City M~Jager (4/5tbs Vote: Yes No X)
Developer requests approval for a five (5)-lot subdivision known as Park View Estates, at the
southerly end of Date Street. The project site is located in an existing single-family residential (R- 1-
5-P) Zone, with a Montgomery Specific Plan Land Use Designation of Low/Medium Density
Residential (6 - 11 dwelling units per acre), and a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low
Medium Residential (6 - 11 dwelling units per acre).
The Environmental Review Coordinator posted notice of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
on November I9, 2002.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
approve the attached resolution to approve the Park View Estates Tentative Subdivision Map.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On December 11, 2002 the Planning
Commission voted (5-1-0-0) to adopt Resolutign PCS-99-05 recommending that the City Council
adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Park View Estates Tentative Subdivision
Map.
On November 4, 2002 the Resource Conservation Commission determined the Initial Study was
adequate and recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
DISCUSSION:
Site Characteristics
The site is a relatively flat one-acre parcel with an existing single-family home located in the northeast
corner of the property, which will be retained as part of lot five of the proposed 5-lot subdivision.
The site is immediately adjacent to the Otay River Valley Regional Park, and there are coastal
scrub/biological resources located immediately to the south of the property.
The site is located within a small community of the Montgomery Specific Plan area known as
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 01/14/03
Broderick's Acres, an area of modest single-family dwellings that were originally subdivided as
approximately one-acre parcels under the jurisdiction of the County of San Diego. The neighborhood
is defined by narrow rural standard streets predominately without curb, gutter or sidewalk. The
circulation system consists of Date Street and Palm Avenue, which are halfa mile long and provide
the only access out of the subdivision to Main Street and Otay Valley Road. Valley Avenue is one-
quarter mile south of Main Street and provides the only east-west connection between Date Street
and Palm Avenue.

Proposal
The proposal is to subdivide a .99-acre lot into a five-lot subdivision in order to provide four new
single-family homes in addition to the existing single-family home on site. The gross lot sizes will
range from 5,271-sq. ft. to 18,515-sq. ft. The net usable lot area excluding driveway and guest
parking easements range in size from 5,003-sq. ft. to 12,035-sq. ft. The applicable R-1-5-P standards
require a subdivision to provide a minimum of 5,000-sq. ft. per lot. Two of the proposed homes will
face the southerly cul-de-sac end of Date Street, and the other three homes (one existing and two
proposed) will face a 20-ft. driveway easement that will provide access to Date Street.
Of note, the tentative map shows a fire department hammerhead turnaround in front of lot four. This
hammerhead driveway has now been eliminated from the requirements of the subdivision map, as the
fire department has indicated that the fire hydrant to be located at the easement driveway entrance
will be within an acceptable distance to provide adequate fire coverage to the three homes served by
the easement driveway. As such, the final map will be revised to show lot four with the same building
envelope mirrored or flipped-over as the one shown for lot three, with the location providing the
same large rear yard area as shown for lot three.
Analysis
The subdivision appears to be a good fit considering the site characteristics. The area has been
developed with similar types of subdivisions of the predominately one-acre parcels for a number of
years. Those that followed the City's zoning and subdivision ordinance requirements provide 20-fi.
wide recorded easements for access. Typical for this area there are up to three lots created that
cannot be located to face a street frontage along Date Street or Palm Avenue.
Street improvements are provided on a piece-meal basis as developments occur within the
Broderick's Acres neighborhood. Concrete driveway easements, curbs, gutters, and sidewalk are
always required and may be installed immediately or deferred. In this case, all required improvements
will be made at the time of home construction.
Page 3, Item: I~
Meeting Date: 01/14/03
As the subdivision occurs at the end of the street, half street pavement and a cul-de-sac design will be
provided in front of lots one and two. In addition, easement and street drainage will be captured by a
bio-swale catch basin at the end of the cul-de-sac with an energy dissipater as required to filter storm-
water mn-off and prevent adverse impacts upon the Otay River Valley Regional Park preserve.
As there are three lots served by the driveway easement, the Zoning Code requires five guest parking
spaces to be located adjacent to the driveway easement in lieu of on street parking available for the
lots facing a public right-of-way. As such, lots three, four and five are provided three guest parking
spaces located between lots three and four, and two more guest parking spaces at the end of the
driveway easement, next to a proposed two-car garage to be provided for the existing house. All new
homes will also have two-car garages built-in to the proposed homes as required by the Zoning Code
for all single and two-family zoned dwelling units.
The size and design of the lots and driveways will also conform to the Subdivision Manual. In
addition, the design and maintenance mechanism for the catch basin located at the end of the street
will be in conformance with standards approved by the City Engineer and subject to review and
approval by the Planning Commission.
CONCLUSION:
The Park View Estates subdivision will be a vast improvement to a property that has been
underutilized and where illegal dumping has occurred for a number of years. The subdivision will
improve the overall character of the area and provide transition to a future staging area of the Otay
River Valley Regional Park. In addition, there are very few new tract home subdivisions located
within the Montgomery Specific Plan area of western Chula Vista, and the Park View Estates will
provide for new single-family home opportunities on lots of comparable size to what is predominately
available in eastern Chula Vista, at a much more affordable price for potential homeowners seeking to
live closer to established shopping areas and job centers.
FISCAL IMPACT: The developer will pay all processing fees.

A. Proiect Setting
The project site consists of an approximate one-acre parcel located in an urbanized area and
containing an existing single-family residence. The project is located at the end of Date Street,
adjacent to the Otay River Valley (see Exhibit A - Location Map). No animal or plant species listed
as rare, threatened or endangered by local, State or Federal regulatory agencies are known to be
present on this highly disturbed residential property. Immediately to the south lies habitat areas in the
Otay River floodplain that have been highly disturbed by illegal dumping of debris and trash.
Fencing separates the project site from adjacent properties to the south.
The project site is adjacent to undeveloped City-owned land within the Otay Valley Regional Park.
The adjacent properties to the south and southxvest consist primarily of undisturbed native vegetation,
the majority of which is identified as part of the 100% Conservation Area - Habitat Preserve in the
Draft City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan.
Land uses surrounding the project site consist of the following:
North:
South:
East:
West:
Single-family residences
Undeveloped City-owned land within Otay Valley Regional Park
Single-family residences
Eucalyptus trees and single-family residences
B. Project Description
The proposed project consists of a five-lot subdivision to accommodate the construction of four
additional single-family residences on the project site (see Exhibit B - Site Plan). The proposed lot
sizes average over 5,000 sq. ft. each and the proposed density of five dwelling units per gross acre is
consistent with the low-medium residential General Plan designation of the property. The project
improvements include installation of Date Street with half cul-de-sac immediately to the west of the
property. The estimated grading quantity includes only 50 cubic yards cut and 50 cubic yards fill for
the proposed filtration system; no further grading is proposed.
1
C. Compliance with Zoning and Plans
The existing zoning on the project site is RI5P Zone (Single-Family Residential, minimum lot area of
5,000 square feet; Precise Plan) and the General Plan designation is low medium residential. The
project is within the City's Southwest Redevelopment Specific Plan. The proposed project is
consistent with the existing zoning and General Plan designation of the property.
D. Public Comments
On April 27, 1999, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot
radius of the project site. The public comment period ended May 7, 1999. The concern expressed in
the one comment letter received dealt with traffic circulation and is addressed below in Section E.
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist form) determined that the proposed project would not have a significant environmental
effect, and 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.
Geophysical
The project site has been previously graded and is partially developed, containing one single-family
residence. Single-family residential development exists to the north, east and west of the project site.
According to the Engineering Division, further grading to accommodate the proposed development
would require a grading permit.
The preparation and submittal of a final soils report will be required prior to the issuance of a grading
permit as a standard engineering requirement. There are no known or suspected seismic hazards
associated with the project site. The project site lies 1.2 miles to the west of the La Nacion Fault
Zone. The site is not currently within a mapped Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, project
compliance with applicable Uniform Building Code standards would adequately address any building
safety/seismic concerns..
The potential exists for significant project-related erosion or siltation impacts, ~vhich may affect the
Otay River, if not mitigated. Appropriate erosion control measures would be identified in conjunction
with the preparation of final grading plans and would be implemented during construction. The
implementation of water quality best management practices (BMPs) during construction would be
required in accordance with NPDES Order No. 2001-01. All portions of the development area
disturbed dur/ng construction would either be developed or would be appropriately landscaped in
compliance with the City Municipal Code, Sections 19.36.090 and 19.36.110. Compliance with
BMPs and NPDES Order No. 2001-01 would be required and would be monitored by the Engineering
Division. Therefore, potentially significant erosion and siltation impacts would be reduced to a level
of less than significance.
Water/Drainage
The project site was previously graded; drainage presently sheet flows directly to the south towards
the Otay River. The proposed' addition of four new structures on the site would not significantly affect
drainage flow. According to the Engineering Division, the preparation and submittal of a drainage
2
study will be required in conjunction with final grading and improvement plans; properly designed
drainage facilities would be required to be installed at the time of site development. Due to the size
of the project site, the preparation and implementation of a storm water pollution prevention plan
(SWPPP) would not be required. However, compliance with provisions of the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region Order No. 2001-01 with respect to construction-
related water quality BM?s would be required. Based upon project design, conditions of the tentative
map and mitigation measures any potential adverse impacts would be lowered to a level of less than
significance.
The project has been designed so that runoff would not drain directly into the Preserve area to the
south. The incorporation of post-construction BMPs would be required to minimize impacts from
urban runoff into the Preserve area. The preliminary grading plan indicates that the proposed project
would include bioswales or other filtration system acceptable to the City Engineer off-site to the west~
south of the future cul-de-sac. The tiltration system would tilter runoff prior to it passing through an
energy dissipater and entering the Preserve area_ The bioswale, or other filtration system, is proposed
in an area that currently supports eucalyptus trees, which is not a sensitive habitat. The resulting
filtered runoff would not have a significant negative effect on wildlife or habitat in the Preserve area.
Compliance with the mitigation measures outlined below in Section F, under "Biological Resources",
would reduce this potentially significant impact to below a level of significance.
Biological Resources
The Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) is a comprehensive, long-term habitat
conservation plan that addresses the needs of multiple species and the preservation of natural
vegetation communities in San Diego County. The MSCP is a subregional plan under the California
Natural Communities Conservation Planning Act of 1991. An MSCP Subregional Plan was prepared
for the subregion, an area encompassing 12 jurisdictions and 582,243 acres. The MSCP Subregional
Plan is implemented through local Subarea Plans. The Draft City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan
(October 2000) does not identify the project site within the City's proposed MSCP Preserve Area. No
sensitive species were found on site and no sensitive species are expected to occur on site. However,
the project site is adjacent to properties to the south and southwest that are within the proposed 100%
Conservation Area - Habitat Preserve identified in the draft Subarea Plan.
The site has been previously graded and contains one single-family residence. Non-native plants and
trees are located throughout the project site. According to the biological resources study prepared by
Helix Environmental Planning, Inc., dated October 14, 2002, no endangered, sensitive species,
species of concern or species that are candidates for listing were observed on the site or are expected
to occur on site.
Although the previously graded project site contains no sensitive biological resources, Helix
identified native habitat, Diegan coastal sage scrub, immediately south and southwest of the site.
Property to the west supports eucalyptus tress and residences beyond. Coastal sage scrub habitat in
the project vicinity is small in area and of poor quality and unlikely to support the threatened Coastal
California gnatcatcher; therefore, no impacts to this species are expected to occur.
Disturbed habitat on site consists primarily of areas heavily disturbed by grading and past
construction/yard waste disposal. Piles of imported dirt have been placed over much of the area.
Analysis of aerial imagery by Helix Environmental Planning, Inc., from January 1999 and January
2001 shows three mature sumac. Apart from the sumacs, little evidence of any native habit was
present in 2002 or in these aerial photos that would indicate the presence of functioning habitat prior
to the deposition of the dirt.

I0 12
Direct Impacts
Pursuant to the draft MSCP Subarea Plan, impacts to sensitive habitats require mitigation. The
project site is located within the Tier IV (non-sensitive) area of the MSCP Subarea Plan and,
therefore, does not require any habitat mitigation.
Required street frontage improvements immediately west of the site would directly impact at least
two eucalyptus trees. This impact could be significant ifraptors were displaced fi.om nests and failed
to breed. Compliance with the mitigation measures outlined below in Section F would reduce this
potentially significant impact to below a level of significance.
Indirect Impacts
The City's draft MSCP Subarea Plan addresses indirect impacts to designated Preserve Areas.
Potential indirect impacts from the proposed project addressed in the biological resources study
include drainage, lighting, noise and invasive species. Based upon the analysis contained in the
study, it was determined that indirect noise and drainage impacts would be potentially significant,
unless mitigated, and that other indirect impacts would be less than significant.
Node
No on-site construction noise impacts would occur due to the lack of habitat and sensitive species on
site. If raptors are nesting in the nearby off-site eucalyptus trees to the west and south during
construction, construction noise could potentially adversely affect breeding success. To avoid any
potential significant impacts from construction noise, avoidance of construction between February 1
and July 31 is recommended or, if unavoidable, surveys in the vicinity by a qualified biologist shall
be performed to determine absence or presence of raptor nests. If raptor nests are absent in the
potentially affected area, conslruction may proceed; if present, the qualified biologist shall both
determine if construction may proceed and monitor any raptor nests at the beginning of construction
to ensure that nesting birds are not disturbed. Compliance with the mitigation measures outlined
below in Section F would reduce this potentially significant impact to below a level of significance.
Drainage
The project has been designed so that runoff would not drain directly into the Preserve area to the
south. The incorporation of post-construction BMPs would he required to minimize impacts from
urban runoff into the Preserve area. The preliminary grading plan indicates that the proposed project
would include bioswales or other filtration system acceptable to the City Engineer off-site to the west,
south of the future cul-de-sac. The filtration system would filter runoffpr/or to it passing through an
energy dissipater and entering the Preserve area. The bioswale, or other filtration system, is proposed
in an area that currently supports eucalyptus trees, which is not a sensitive habitat. The resulting
filtered runoff would not have a significant negative effect on wildlife or habitat in the Preserve area.
Compliance with the mitigation measures outlined below in Section F would reduce this potentially
significant impact to below a level of significance.
F. Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Impacts
Geophysical
1. Prior to the commencement of grading, temporary erosion control measures shall be
implemented. These measures may include desilting basins, berms, hay bales, silt fences, dikes
and shoring. These measures shall be reflected on the grading and improvement plans to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Water/Drainage
Prior to the issuance of any grading permit and/or public construction permit, the City Engineer
shall verify that the final grading and improvement plans comply with the provisions of
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region Order No. 2001-01 with
respect to construction-related water quality best management practices.
Biological Resources
Direct Impacts
Prior to the issuance of any grading permit and/or public construction permit, the Environmental
Review Coordinator shalI verify that the following condition is included as a special note on the
final grading and improvement plans:
To avoid impacts to raptor nests, tree removal shall either be avoided between February 1 and
July 31 or, if unavoidable, surveys of affected trees shall be performed for active raptor nests by a
qualified biologist to determine absence or presence. If raptor nests are absent in the affected
trees, construction may proceed; if present, removal of trees with an active raptor nest shall be
prohibited and the qualified biologist shall resurvey the trees prior to tree removal. Prior to tree
removal between February 1 and July 31, a survey let/er report prepared by a qualified biologist
shall be submitted to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator.
Indirect hnpacts
4. Prior to the issuance of any grading permit and/or public construction permit, the Environmental
Review Coordinator shall verify that the following condition is included as a special note on the
final grading and improvement plans:
To avoid impacts to raptors from construction noise, avoidance of construction between February
1 and July 31 is recommended or, if unavoidable, a survey shall be conducted for active raptor
nests within the potentially affected area by a qualified biologist to determine absence or
presence. If raptors nests are absent in the affected trees, construction may proceed; if present,
the qualified biologist shall determine if construction may proceed and if so, shall monitor any
raptor nests at the beginning of construction activities and as deemed necessary by the
Environmental Review Coordinator throughout construction to ensure that nesting birds are not
disturbed. Prior to the commencement of construction between February 1 and July 31, a survey
letter report prepared by a qualified biologist shall be submitted to the satisfaction of the
Environmental Review Coordinator.
Prior to the issuance of any grading permit and/or public construction permit, the City Engineer
shall verify that the grading and improvement plans comply with the provisions of Califomia
Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region Order No. 2001-01 with respect to
permanent, post-construction water quality best management practices (BMPs). The permanent,
post-construction BMPs shall consist of bioswales immediately south of the future Date Street
cul-de-sac with an energy dissipater, north of the MSCP Preserve Area, or other filtration system
in this location acceptable to the City Engineer and Environmental Review Coordinator.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (MMRP)
Park View Estates - IS-99-23
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared by the City of Chula Vista
in conjunction with the proposed Park View Estates five-lot single-family residential
subdivision. The proposed project has been evaluated in an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS-99-23) prepared in accordance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and City/State CEQA Guidelines. The legislation requires public agencies to ensure that
adequate mitigation measures are implemented and monitored for Mitigated Negative
Declarations.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and/or significant environmental impacts.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this project ensures adequate
implementation of mitigation for the following potential impacts:
1. Geophysical
2. Water/Drainage
3. Biological Resources
MONITORING PROGRAM
Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinators
shall be the Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer of the City of Chula Vista.
The applicant shall be responsible to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program are met to the satisfaction of the Environmental Revie~v Coordinator and
City Engineer. Evidence in written form confirming compliance with the mitigation measures
specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-99-23 shall be provided by the applicant to the
Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer. The Environmental Review Coordinator
and City Engineer will thus provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have
been accomplished.
Table 1, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Checklist, lists the mitigation measures
contained in Section F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Effects, of Mitigated Negative
Declaration IS-99-23, which will be implemented as part of the project. In order to determine if
the applicant has implemented the measure, the method and timing of verification are identified,
along with the City department or agency responsible for monitoring/verifying that the applicant
has completed each mitigation measure. Space for the signature of the verifying person and the
date of inspection is provided in the last column.

October 18, 2002
LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the
proposal:
a) Conflict with general plan designation or
zoning?
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project?
c) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g.,
impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from
incompatible land uses)?
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an [] [] r~ []
established community (including a low-income
or minority community)?
Comments: The proposed five-lot single-family residential subdivision is consistent with the existing
R-1-5P zoning designation and the low-medium residential General Plan designation of the property.
No agricultural resources are present on-site or in the immediate vicinity.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
-22
POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the
proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local
population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either [] [] [] []
directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an
undeveloped area or extension of major
infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable
housing?
Comments: The proposed project would induce minimal population growth and would not displace
housing. The project would retain an existing residence and provide four additional single-family
residences. The project would not require the extension of major infrastructure since there are
adequate water and sewer lines and access to the project site.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
III.

Grading and construction of the proposed four single-family residences would temporarily
create dust and emissions associated with activity from construction equipment and vehicles.
These short-term emissions are not considered significant impacts. Standard dust control
measures would be implemented, including watering exposed soils and street sweeping. The
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) projected to be generated by the proposed project is 40 trips.
These few trips would not contribute significantly to the degradation of local air quality.
See V.a. above.
The proposed development of four single-family residences on the project site would not alter
air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate.
Neither development nor operation of the proposed four single-family residences is anticipated
to create any objectionable odors.
See V.a. above.

Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would
the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion?
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., []
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
[] [] []
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to
nearby uses?
[] [] 0 []
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? []
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists?
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting []
alternative transportation (e.g. bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)?
g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts?
h) A "large project" under the Congestion []
Management Program? (An equivalent of 2400
or more average daily vehicle trips or 200 or
more peak-hour vehicle trips.)
Comments: The City of Chula Vista Threshold Standards require that all street segments operate at
Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur
during the peak two hours of the day. The Engineering Division estimates that the project would
generate 40 average daily trips. This is considered to be an insignificant number of vehicle trips
relative to the capacity of both Date Street and Main Street, both of which would remain at an
acceptable LOS C or better with the addition of project traffic. Date Street project site frontage
improvements, consisting of the construction of a half cul-de-sac with a radius of 30 feet, ;vould be
required as a condition of the tentative map.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.

/D-27
Comments:
a) The proposed project does not conflict with the recently adopted CO2 Reduction Plan.
b)
The proposed project is subject to compliance with Energy Requirements of the Uniform
Building Code and, therefore, should not result in the use of non-renewable resources in a
wasteful and inefficient manner.
c)
The project is not located within an area designated for mineral resource protection as deemed
in the City's General Plan. No significant energy and mineral resource impacts would result
from the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
IX. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of []
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: petroleum products, pesticides, chemieals or
radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
D [] [] []
c) The creation of any health hazard or potential
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of
potential health hazards?
[] [] 0 []
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable
brush, grass, or trees?
[] [] [] []
Comments: Project implementations would not pose a health hazard to humans. The project site is
slated for residential development according to the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The project
involves the division of land and eventual construction of four single-family residences. No significant
hazards to human health safety would be created as a result of the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
7
Ko
NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels?
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels?
Potentially
Impact
Comments:
a)
The City of Chula Vista Municipal Code (19.68.030) establishes residential land use noise
standards at or beyond the property line during specified hours. Temporary construction
would occur at the site; however, the short-term nature of the noise, and the fact that the
proposed use will remain residential, render the potential noise factor to less than significant.
Construction noise would be limited to daytime hours. The project will be required to
comply with the City's adopted performance noise standhrds. No significant adverse noise
impacts to residential uses are noted with standard construction practices.
The project site is in close proximity to the Otay Valley Regional Park and Preserve area of
the City's Draft Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan. Potential noise
impacts to sensitive species off-site are addressed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Section E, under Biological Resources - Indirect Impacts.
b) See X.a. above.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? [] [] [] []
b) Police protection? [] [] [] []
c) Schools? [] ri [] []
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including [] [] [] []
roads?
8
e) Other governmental services? [] [] [] []
Comments: Both the Police and Fire Departments indicate that current levels of service would not be
impacted by the proposed project. The applicant will need to obtain a letter of clearance from each of
the affected school districts, and payment of developer fees will be required which will be made a
condition of approval of the tentative map. The project would no have an adverse effect upon or result
in a need for new or altered govemmental services.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
XII. Thresholds. Will the proposal adversely impact the
City's Threshold Standards?
As described below, the proposed project does not result in significant impacts to any of the
Threshold Standards.
a) Fire/EMS [] [] ~ []
The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must be able to respond to
calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75% of
the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold standard will be met.
The proposed project would_comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The Fire Department indicates that the distance to the nearest fire station is 3 miles. The
Fire Department has made a number of recommendations that will become apart of the conditions of
approval of the tentative map including the requirement for a fire hydrant, a fire lane along the north
side of the property and a cul-de-sac. According to the Fire Department, the current levels of service
can still be provided to the project site.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
b) Police
The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of Priority I calls
within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5
minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes
or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less.
The proposed project would comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The Police Department indicates that current levels of service would not be impacted by
the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
9
c) Traffic
[] D [] ~
City-wide: Maintain'LOS "C" or better as measured by observed average travel speed
on all arterial segments except that during peak hours a LOS of "D" can occur for no
more than any two hours of the day.
2. West ofi-805: Those signalized intersections which do not meet the standard above
may continue to operate at their current 1991 LOS, but shall not worsen.
Comments: Th~ proposed project would generate a total of 40 vehicle trips daily. This is considered
to be an insignificant number of vehicle trips. No adverse impacts to traffic/circulation would result
from the project. The traffic engineering section indicates that the LOS "C" threshold would be
maintained on affected arterial segments with the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
d) Parks/Recreation
The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation is 3-acres of neighborhood and
community parkland with appropriate facilities per 1,000 residents east of Interstate 805.
Comments: No park pad obligation will be required as the project site is located west of I405. No
adverse impacts to parks or recreational opportunities would result. The parks and recreation threshold
standard does not apply.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
e) Drainage o [] [] []
The Threshold Standards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed City
Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements
consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Eng/neering Standards. The
proposed project would comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: See Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section E.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
f) Sewer
10
The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City
Eng/neering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements
consistent with Sewer Master Plan(s) and City Engineering Standards, The proposed
project would_comply with this Threshold Standard:
Comments: The Engineering Department calculates that the project would generate approximately
1,060 gallons of effluent per day. An 8-inch sewer line is located in a utility easement flowing
westerly along the northern property line. The sewer main connects to another 8-inch main flowing
~aortherly along Date Street. No significant sewer impacts would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
g) Water
The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission
facilities be constructed concurrently with planned growth and those water quality
standards are not jeopardized during grow-th and construction. The proposed project would
comply with this Threshold Standard.
Applicants may also be required to participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set
program the City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
Comments: No significant impacts to water storage, treatment and transmission facilities ~vould result
from the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are require&
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would
the proposal result in a need for new systems, or
substantial alterations to the following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas?
b) Communications systems?
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution
facilities?
d) Sewer or septic tanks?
e) Storm water drainage?
f) Solid waste disposal?
[] [] 0 []
Comments: The proposed project consists of four single-family residences and would not result in the
need for new systems or substantial alterations to any of the aforementioned utilities.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
XIV. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal.-
a)
Obstruct any scenic vista or view open to the
public or will the proposal result in the creation
of an aesthetically offensive site open to punic
view?
b) Cause the destruction or modification ora
scenic route?
[] [] [] []
c) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect?
d)
Create added light or glare sources that could
increase the level of sky glow in an area or
cause this project to fail to comply with Section
19.66.100 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code,
Title 19?
e) Produce an additional amount of spill light?
Comments: No significant scenic vistas or views open to the public exist through the site. According
to the City's General Plan, Date Street is not designated as a scenic roadway. The proposed
improvements such as continuation of Date Street and installation of a half cul-de-sac along with
landscaped improvements will only enhance the area. The small residential project will not create a
significant amount of spill light nor negative aesthetic effect onto the adjacent properties or roadways.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
XV. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal:
a)
Will the proposal result in the alteration of or
the destruction or a prehistoric or historic
archaeological site?
b) Will the proposal result in adverse physical or
aesthetic effects to a prehistoric or historic
[] [] [] []
o [] [] []
12
-33
building, structure or object?
c) Does the proposal have the potential to cause a [] [] [] []
physical change which would affect unique
ethnic cultural values?
d) Will the proposal restrict existing religious or
sacred uses w/thin the potential impact area?
O [] [] []
e) Is the area identified on the City's General Plan r~ [] [] []
EIR as an area of high potential for
archeological resources?
Comments:
a) No prehistoric or historic archaeological sites are known or expected to be present within the
impact area of the proposal. The project site has been fully graded. See XV.e. below.
b)
No buildings or structures are present within the impact area of the proposal and no prehistoric
or historic objects are known or expected to be present within the impact area. See XV.e.
belmv.
c) The proposed physical changes would not affect unique ethnic cultural values.
d) No religious or sacred uses exist within the impact area of the proposal.
e)
The project site is identified as an area of moderate potential for archaeological resources in
the City's General Plan EIR. The project site ~vas previously graded to create the existing
level pad area for the existing single-family residence. Based on the level of previous
disturbance to the site and the relatively minor amount of additional grading that will be
necessary to accommodate the proposed single family residences, the potential for impacts to
archaeological resources is considered to be .less than significant.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
XVI.
PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Will the
proposal result in the alteration of or the
destruction of paleontological rexources?
[] [] [] []
Comments: The project site is identified as an area of moderate potential for paleontological resoumes
in the City's General Plan E1R. However, based upon the limited amount of additional excavation that
W/Il be necessary to accommodate the proposed single-family residences, the potential for impacts to
paleontological resource5 is considered to be less than significant.
13
Mitigation: NO mitigation measures are required.
XVII. RECREATION. Would the proposal:
a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or
regional parks or other recreational facilities?
b) Affect existing recreational opportunities?
c) Interfere with recreation parks & recreation
plans or programs?
0 0 [] []
Comments: The applicant would not be required to pay park fees as the project site is located west of
1-805. No significant impacts to Parks or Recreational Plans would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required.
XVIII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF

XII. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATiVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED
NEGATiVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the
earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant
impacts" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because ali potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards and Co) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. An
addendum has been prepared to provide a record of this determination.

Dear Mr.
I recently received an e-mail (enclosed) and a phone call from Mr. James Marcelino, a
Coordinator for the South Bay Partnership. In the past, through a grant entitled the HIPZ Project,
diverse community sectors and management at Coors would voluntarily meet to discuss ways to
ensure the safety of concert attendees. The HIPZ grant just recently ended, but Mr. Marcelino
~ O(h",~~I? like to continue meeting with Coors management personnel. Unfortunately,
~ ~ Swift, t~ice-President of Coors, is not responding to their request for a meeting.
As you know, Coors is within the City ofChula Vista limits, and we, as the governing
body of Chula Vista, have the responsibility to ensure the safety of our residents and ensure the
enforcement of city policies. Just recently a death occurred at Coors that was alcohol related.
This incident has raised several concerns including, (1) parking lot enforcement, (2) use of
signage in the parking lot, (3) finding ways to prevent future deaths from happening, and (4)
enforcing the zero tolerance for underage drinkers. Now that the 2003 concert calendar has been
completed, Mr. Marcelino would like to establish a plan of preventive action before the concert
season begins. Would you ask staff to review these concerns, contact Mr. Swift, and then report
back to me?
As always, I appreciate your leadership and insight. I look forward to hearing from you
SOOIi.

Chula Vista, Ca 91911
Dear Mr. Swift:
The South Bay Partnership, a coalition of the region·s active collaboratives addressing substance
abuse prevention and public health issues since 1997, would like to arrange a "concert season
debriefing meeting" with you and other staff designees for mid - late November 2002. The
purpose of this meeting is to continue moving forward with the policy recommendations set forth
vÎa the High Intensity Prevention Zone (HIPZ) project, directed by the National City Police
Department and the Institute for Public Strategies. Our coalition is the designated community-
driven, advocacy group that ,,-ill coordinate the implementation and development of prevention
policies for local cities and entertainment venues in the South Bay.
As a continued "best practice" of the HIPZ project, diverse community sectors (city. law
enforcement, community-based organizations, etc.) and management staff at Coors would
voluntarily meet to discuss current preventive measures, policies and practices by which to ensure
the highest level of safety at the venue and for community residents throughout San Diego
County, namely South Bay. We would like to continue this momentum by securing an on-going
dialogue at least twice a year with Coors Management staff, to discuss policies that will maintain
safety standards and reduce youth access to alcohol.
We would like to discuss the following with you and your staff in November 2002:
I. Introduce the South Bay Partnership (Facilitator: James Marcelino, M.A.)
II. Advocate for the continuance of all operational improvements (stated 7.09.02 City Council-
Chula Vista)
III. Status Check on Proposed Policy Recommendations
IV. General Discussion
a. Nelly concert: Plan of Action
b. Regulations of the VIP area
c. Security measures
d. Possible Change of Management
V. Police Enforcement Results
VI. How Can We Support Each Other?
We feel that a successful meeting would involve approximately 15 -20 persons, including
community residents and youth. We ask that you would consider hosting our group at your
facility. If not, we would be happy to identify another place where we could meet in the City of
Chula Vista.

Re: Honoring the Vehicle License Fee Commitment
Dear Councilmember Davis,
On behalf of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, I am writing to urge you to support the
staff recommendation that the Chula Vista City Council approve the Resolution urging the
California Legislature to honor the 1998 commitment to reinstate the Vehicle License Fee
(VLF). When the Legislature acted to reduce the Vehicle License Fee (VLF), it was done
with the promise that should the time come that the State's General Fund could no longer
afford to back:fill cities and counties for the VLF offset, the fee would be restored and our
local governments kept whole.
Since 1935, cities and counties have received the VLF in lieu oflocally-collected property
taxes on vehicles. In our community, the VLF constitutes 17% of the city' discretionary
revenues. As you are well aware, the average city spends more than 60% of its general fund
money on public safety. The VLF is a critical component of funding these vital services.
In 1986, a ballot measure was passed overwhelmingly by California voters, 81.8%, pledging
PAST PRESidENT the proceeds of the VLF to fund local government services. The 1998 law that created the
Ben Richardson VLF holiday did not change this policy; it simply committed the State General Fund to
. financing an offset against the VLF payment obligation of a vehicle owner. The same 1998
EXECUTivE DIRECTOR law provides for the restoration of the VLF ifinsufficient funds are available in the State
Usa Cohen
General Fund to afford the VLF offset. Irrespective of whether the Governor's estimate of a
$35 billion shortfull, or the Legislative Analyst's more conservative estimate proves to be
accurate, it appears the State General Fund has reached a very large negative balance.
Our Chamber of Commerce, representing 800 businesses in the Chula Vista community,
urges you to reject the Governor's proposal to abandon the VLF back:fill without reinstating
the VLF in its entirety. The loss of adequate public safety personnel to meet the needs of
our residents and business owners is not acceptable.
We respectfully request that you support the staff recommendation before you this evening.

CITIZENS FOR A BEITER VETERANS HOME
(In memory of Founder RICHARD OLIVER SEWELL. RIP 20ü])
POB 2258 Barstow California 923 ]2-2258)
7 June 2002
CONTRIBUTIONS TO BILL SIMON CAL VETS/CDV A PLATFORM 2002
Topic: NON URBAN CAL VETS/CDV A VETERANS HOMES
To Whom It May Concern:
In Mly 2002, current Assembly Leader Herb Wesson of Compton in Los Angeles became an 'instant
expert' and 'state wide veterans advocate'. He has usurped the will of the people in voting for building bond funds
for new 'mirn campus' Veterans Homes of California in undeveloped patches of Lancaster (near Palmdale) and
Saticoy (in Vcntura County) in the Proposition 14 Initiative. The wording, and surely the promotion of this
initiative. makes the risk of spending such tax payer mornes on any other site ripe for numerous types and styles of
law suits from a variety of potential plaintiffs.
Let's forget the problems of traffic, air pollution, ground water contamination, and fault lines directly
under both San Fernando Valley and LA West for the moment. Much of the criticism of non urban care campuses
has corne from inner city advocates such as Mister Wesson due to the poor (and we've documented criminal abuse
by the inch or the pound) performance of Veterans Horne of California - Barstow in San Bernardino County.
Barstow is not just a typical spot of rural California in the most corrupt county in the state. Infact, Barstow
is not much more than a pit stop to and from Los Vegas. Barstow is Barstow. While Victorvalley has blossomed
over the post war period Barstow has a stagnant population in a demirnshed economy. And I say this as a local
Friend of the Library. a school district worker, and a former member of the Chamber of Commerce.
I take no pleasure in enclosing copies from the playbill of San Diego's Point Lorna HS's recent production
of [{ol Q(fThe Press. a take of off the 200] Miss Barstow fiasco im'olving misconduct by the local CHP. Review
the 2000 dcrisive advertisement of the state cheese board. Review the 1999 episode of NBC's ER concerning the
death of Doctor Doug Ross' father. Barstow is Barstow. Much of the wounds to the local image and reputation arc
self innicted. For one thing, politicians and local individuals spend time complaining of 'bad press' instead of
taking responsibility. (Gee, that sounds like the modus operindi of the state veterans dcpartment and board.)
And yes. this local lack of moral courage has combined with CAL VETS/CDV A·s politics, and gross
mismanagement and over all lack of ethics to create (literally and officially) the nation's worst veterans home. And
yes, this object lesson in how not to run a veterans home has corne with a $ 10M price tag. State monies that the
feds would gladly given to C AL VETS/CDV A coffers have been held back in 2000 and 2001.
Do not be swayed by the water carrier of the current governor and attorney general. Mister Wesson is only
a recent student of California veterans issues and his 'urban' stance is mere a page from the failed play book of
Davis and Lockyer. Not only do all non urban areas not deserve to be painted with the same brush as the Barstow
fiasco, but surely the over all strategy in an election year is to take a 110n issue (like the non urban settings of
Lancaster and Saticoy) to cloud the three and a half years of law suits. failed inspections, employee discontent,
patient abuse, citizen harassment and negligent homicides of the corrupt Davis Administration.
Barstow is Barstow. Let Lancaster and Saticoy find their own voice and destiny. Do not allow Mister
Wesson, who has rarely spoken up on veterans issues in his entire life until May 23. 2002, drag this red herring
across the real issues of corruption and mismanagement during an ejection year. Really caring for veterans,
