Memorandum
To: CVRC Board of Directors
From: David Watson
CC: Staff, City Attorney
RE: Thoughts on Role/Structure of CVRC
Date: July 28, 2011
The structure of the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation depends on the role
preferred by the City Council. Certain tasks may require a corporate structure; others do not.
This memorandum briefly summarizes the options I've considered. Other options may exist as
well. I see our goal as trying to provide the best possible assistance to members of the City
Council, who have ultimate policy making authority. As a result, I believe the CVRC structure
should be selected to best facilitate that goal.
1. Non-Profit Corporation: An independent corporation is required if the City Council
wants the CVRC to function as an independent entity. For instance, if CVRC was expected to
independently oversee, operate and manage the City's redevelopment areas, CVRC should be a
corporate entity. One example is found in San Diego, where the Redevelopment Agency has
entered into a contract with the Centre City Development Corporation to manage and operate and
handle most entitlements for the downtown redevelopment area. Only major items involving
Development and Disposition Agreements,tax increment subsidies, or legislative matters go to
the Agency for approval. CCDC has its own staff and legal status. In many respects, it's as if
the San Diego Redevelopment Agency has hired an independent contractor to handle almost all
redevelopment matters downtown.
To my knowledge, our City Council has never expected CVRC to act in this
"independent contractor" manner.
2. Redevelopment Advisory Committee: The CVRC membership is designed to include a
variety of professionals with expertise to assist with facilitating rdevelopment. CVRC has had
varying roles in the entitlement process and has advised the City Council on policy issues related
to redevelopment. CVRC members also have encouraged and assisted with promoting
investment in the redevelopment areas. CVRC's jurisdiction has been limited to only the
redevelopment areas.
If this is CVRC's continued role, there is no need for a corporate status. It could simply
become an advisory committee of experts providing suggestions,recommendations, advice and
assistance to the City Council on matters related to redevelopment.
3. Western Chula Vista Re-Investment Commission: Members of the CVRC may believe
that more success could be achieved by looking at opportunities for re-investment and change in
the entirety of western Chula Vista, without focusing only on the redevelopment areas. As a
western regional commission, the CVRC could provide advice, recommendations, and assistance
to the City Council based on the western area as a whole, rather than the smaller"strip"
redevelopment areas. Members could offer suggestions on regulatory changes, plan updates,
financing, design and other policy matters without being confined to only redevelopment issues
or areas. In addition, members could provide assistance on potential re-investment in the greater
western community.
A cornrnission of experts looking at the entirety of western Chula Vista may provide
more long-term assistance and recommendations than a scope limited only to redevelopment. In
addition, a commission need not be part of the entitlement process for individual projects,but
focus more on larger policy issues and recommendations.
A western area commission would have more freedom to work on a variety of real estate
policy, land use, finance, design, plarming and re-investment issues. Such a commission could
focus on relationships of neighboring uses and different types of development, without worrying
about redevelopment area jurisdiction. It is possible that the expertise of the CVRC membership
would be more valuable in this role, instead of limited only to redevelopment areas.
Regardless of which structure is preferred, as advisors to the City Council, the City Council
should continue to select the membership.

DATE ISSUED: March 18, 2011
ATTENTION: Chair and Members of the Ad Hoc Committee on Redevelopment
Meeting of March 21,2011
SUBJECT: Benefits and Obstacles Related to Implementing Redevelopment
Activities
FROM: Jeff Graham,Vice President, Redevelopment
Centre City Development Corporation ("Corporation")staff has been requested by the Ad hoc
Redevelopment Committee of the San Diego City Council to provide a brief summary of
concepts about the Corporation that staff believes has facilitated its success in downtown
redevelopment and any challenges the current organizational structure presents.
1. Specific redevelopment-tools,"methods and organizational structural elements that have
proved useful to the Corporation in successfully implementing downtown redevelopment.
Planning,Authority:
* A recently updated Community Plan,whose boundaries conform to those of the
redevelopment project area that provides a clear direction for future economic and
development growth, objectives and goals,transit opportunities and general land uses
* Program Environmental Impact Report(EIR)
o Ability to utilize Program EIR(s)for the redevelopment project area,which
enables an expedited environmental review process consistent with CEQA,
greatly reducing processing time and potential legal challenges while increasing
predictability
* Planned District Ordinance(PDO)
o Ensure redevelopment projects meet zoning regulations from the early design
eliminating costly delays and redesigns
o Ability to expedite development review due to well-developed zoning regulations
and the focus of planners on specific geographic areas
* Proposed implementation of a fixed fee schedule for permit processing—provides
certainty in cost,discourages abuse of staff resources, offsets administrative costs
* Expedited review of Conditional Use Permits, Sidewalk Caf6 Permits, Offsite Liquor
Sales Applications, and other reviews/approvals for small businesses

housing developments
Site Acquisition Authority;
« Authority to acquire properties and assemble future development opportunity sites allows
staff to quickly react to changing market conditions and land acquisition opportunities
• Polanco Redevelopment Act affords redevelopment agencies substantial discretion and
authority in the process for the cleanup of contaminated sites.
c Allows agencies to prepare environmental site assessments on potentially
contaminated sites; and
o Proceed to remediation of the site based on site assessment at the cost and
expense of the property owner.
o Provides opportunity to indemnify developers in accordance with approved
remediation actions.
Consultant Retention/Developer Attraction:

with evaluation and implementation of various aspects of redevelopment projects
• Authority to enter into contracts less than an established threshold amount with
professional consultants, following proper public disclosure requirements
• Ability to efficiently and equitably solicit and select highly qualified development
partners for redevelopment of selected opportunity sites and affordable housing projects

Public Works:
* The delegation to the Corporation of Public Works functions has streamlined the design,
bidding and installation of many public improvement elements downtown such as
streetlights, sidewalks,traffic signals,pedestrian safety enhancements, and fire stations
through staff's ability to work closely with redevelopment and planning staff
* Public Works staff dedicated to the public improvements located within the
redevelopment project area and not challenged with conflicting priorities
* Cradle to grave project management by engineering professionals, allows for projects to
stay with one project manager from inception to delivery; no interdepartmental handoffs
means no lost time.
* Access to planning and real estate professionals in the same office to coordinate public
improvements in conjunction with public-private partnership transactions.

• Dedicated and engaged Board of Directors comprised of real estate, legal,design,
economic development and business professionals provides expertise to the review of
projects

opportunities for the public to engage and speak about all projects prior to their approval
and for the Board of Directors to vet all aspects of the project with staffprior to
recommending the project's approval to the Agency Board
Redevelopment/Public-Private Partnerships:
* Skilled and knowledgeable staff that negotiate creative structures of public-private
partnerships that provide the public benefit objectives of the community plan while
providing the developer with an economically viable development opportunity

developers that create interest in the project area, a cooperative approach to public-
private partnerships, and respect

2. While the Corporation shares the same mission, set of legal requirements and transaction
guidelines with the Agency and Southeastern Economic Development Corporation(SEDC),
there are only a few areas in which the Corporation has had the opportunity to collaborate
with its sister agencies in the past. Each agency's distinct geographic areas of responsibility
and California Redevelopment Law prohibitions on tax increment funds being spent on
Chair and Members of the Ad Hoe Committee on Redevelopment
Meeting of March 21, 2011
Page 5
projects outside of the project area have presented few opportunities for the Corporation to
partner.
Collaboration with Agency. SEDC and San Diego Housing Commission�SDHQ:
* Worked together with City Attorney's office on common procedures, such as CF-QA
implementation
* Affordable Housing Collaborative provides shared financial and staff resources to select
and implement affordable housing projects that accomplish the Agency's common goals
of affordable housing
* Effectively partner on affordable housing projects located outside of downtown
* Provided financial assistance with Barrio Logan Community Plan update
* Share common property acquisition due diligence procedures and legal agreement
templates
3. Corporation staff has experienced a productive working relationship among the Agency and
SEDC and has identified only a few functions for possible centralization.
Potential Areas of Improvement/Centralization:
• Corporation,Agency and SEDC staff to collaborate on ideas for improving a specific
project area's performance and share developer relationships
• Coordination of planning/project entitlement functions with Development Services
Department on ensuring consistency in development review processes
• Coordination of planning/project entitlement functions with City Attorney's office on
representation and dissemination of interpretations of Municipal Code
• Possible efficiencies derived by centralizing accounting, human resource, information
technology and some administrative functions
o A separate Human Resources function from the City provides for an efficient
operation in relation to staff attraction,retention and termination of employment.
