appear on the ballot for the General Municipal Election held in June and will instead be placed on the ballot
for the Special Election to be held in November.
Additionally, California Elections Code Section 13307 provides that the local agency must adopt regulations
pertaining to the materials prepared by candidates and the costs thereof. Historically, the City has allowed
each candidate to submit a candidate’s statement of no more than 200 words. Candidates who choose to file
P a g e | 3
a candidate’s statement for the Special Runoff Election in November will be required to pay a deposit at the
time their statements are filed with the City Clerk. Should the actual cost be less than the amount of the
deposit, the balance will be refunded to the candidates; and should the actual cost be more, candidates will
be billed for the difference.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not
applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict
of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community,
Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Serving as the elections official and
managing the elections process, which forms the foundation of our democratic system of government, is one
of the primary functions of the City Clerk. While this process is not specifically associated with one of the
City’s strategic goals, carryingout this important function in an ethical, impartial, transparent manner aligns
with the City’s goals of Operational Excellence and Connected Community.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2019 general fund budget includes $130,000 to conduct the Special Election for the four
seats: Mayor, two members of the City Council, theCity Attorney. Staff anticipates the budgeted funds will be
sufficient for this purpose.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact.

A. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING AN AMENDMENT
TO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND COLE & ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR
THE PREPARATION OF A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT
PLAN AND APPROPRIATING $27,800 FROM THE AVAILABLE BALANCE OF THE TRANSNET FUND

B. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING $40,000
FROM THE AVAILABLE BALANCE OF THE SEWER FACILITY REPLACEMENT FUND TO CIP
SWR0278 (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolutions.
SUMMARY
On August 9, 2016, the City entered into an agreement with Cole & Associates, Inc. for the preparation of a
Pedestrian Connectivity and Infrastructure Improvement Plan. In order to finalize the plan, staff
recommends that the agreement be amended to adjust the scope of work.
Also on August 9, 2016, the City awarded a construction contract with Just Construction, Inc. for the Max
Field Pump Station Reconstruction Project, CIP SWR0278. Due to unforeseen conditions and design
revisions, staff recommends appropriating additional funds to complete the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and/or Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment. Thus, no further environmental review is required.

P a g e | 2
DISCUSSION
RESOLUTION A
Council Resolution 2016-165 approved the agreement between the City of Chula Vista and Cole &
Associates, Inc. for the preparation of the Pedestrian Connectivity and Infrastructure Improvement Plan
(Pedestrian Connectivity Plan). The main objectives of the plan are to evaluate all City sidewalks and
ramps, and develop prioritized recommendations for repair and improvements. The contract agreement
was in the amount of $443,230.34 and included the followingitems of work:
•Survey data for all sidewalks and pedestrian ramps within the City, including signalized
intersections.
•Evaluation of pedestrian facilities at traffic signals
•Prioritization, preliminary cost estimates, and a recommended maintenance/improvement program
•Preparation of a Pedestrian Connectivity Plan and Compliance Report
•A series of three public meetings in different areas of the City and a presentation to Council for
approval
•Integration of inspection data into the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) and Lucity
software
•Training for City staff in using the new database, updating cost tables, and evaluating project
feasibility
To complete the listed scope in the contract agreement, additional work was required to finalize the
formatting of the Compliance Report and to complete the integration of the inspection data into the City’s
GIS and Lucity databases. To complete these revised items of work, City staff recommends approving the
amendment to the agreement/contract (Attachment #1) and appropriating $27,800 in TransNet funds into
the CIP budget.
RESOLUTION B
Council Resolution 2016-167 awarded a construction contract to Just Construction, Inc. for the Max Field
Pump Station Reconstruction Project, CIP SWR0278. The Max Field Pump Station serves the Max Field –
Rienstra Park Little League baseball fields. CIP SWR0278 includes construction of a new sewage pump
station, replacing the appurtenant gravity and force main pipelines, and abandoning the existing sewage
pump station.
During construction, the contractor encountered site conditions that were different from those shown on
the construction plans. This resulted in a series of design changes including: a deeper sewage holding tank
(wet well); larger pumps and associated piping; larger electrical breakers; revised wiring and additional
coordination with San Diego Gas and Electric. These design changes resulted in additional cost and delays
to the construction work beyond what was included in the original construction contract. The contractor
submitted a claim for additional costs associated with the delays. City staff reviewed the documents
provided by the contractor and the contract records. Based on the review and further negotiations with
the contractor, an agreement was reached. An appropriation of $40,000 is needed to cover the negotiated
settlement and complete the project.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
RESOLUTION A
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11),
is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial
conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
RESOLUTION B
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item
does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of
Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The goal of the Pedestrian
Connectivity and Infrastructure Improvement Plan is to support the Strong and Secure Neighborhood
Strategy. It will guide City staff in preparing programs for the maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s
sidewalks, thereby providing a safe and efficient roadway system for residents, businesses and visitors.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
RESOLUTION A
Approval of the resolution will appropriate $27,800 from the TransNet fund to GGV0222. Sufficient
TransNet funds are available; therefore, no additional impacts to the fund.
RESOLUTION B
Approval of the resolution will appropriate $40,000 from the Sewer Facilities Replacement fund to
SWR0278. Sufficient Sewer Facilities Replacement funds are available; therefore, no additional impacts to
the fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Upon completion of the CIP projects, the improvements will require only routine maintenance.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA CONSENTING TO THE
RELINQUISHMENT OF THE PROPERTY SEGMENTS INCLUDING ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AS
DESCRIBED ON RELINQUISHMENT MAP R34590 BY ACTION OF THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORATION
COMMISSION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) recently completed the Interstate 805 East
Palomar Street Direct Access Ramp (DAR), Park and Ride Lot, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Stop Project. A
portion of this project included roadway improvements to Raven Avenue and East Palomar Street. Caltrans
intends to relinquish the property rights and roadway improvements for ownership and maintenance to
the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in
the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has
also determined that the “Project” qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Caltrans and San Diego Association of Governments (Sandag) have coordinated with the City of Chula Vista
in planning and recently completing construction of the DAR Project at Palomar Street and I-805. This
project promotes ride sharing as the DAR is restricted to only High Occupancy Vehicles and the BRT. The
P a g e | 2
project included construction of two Park and Ride lots on the northeast side of the DAR which will
accommodate 336 parking spaces. The project also includes a BRT stop where travelers can transfer from
one transportation mode to another. The BRT project is currently under construction and expected to open
in late 2019.
In order to build the DAR, Park and Ride lots, and BRT Stop, Caltrans acquired property from a number of
residential owners as well as San Diego Gas & Electric. Some of the improvements modified portions of
City streets and landscape features.
Caltrans would like to convey ownership of the property foot print that falls outside the operational needs
of the state highway. Ownership would be conveyed to the City and Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) for
the purposes of operating the local streets and the Park and Ride lots respectively. Six individual segments
of property along East Palomar Street and Raven Avenue are identified on Relinquishment Map R34590
(Attachment 1) for conveyance to the City. Two individual segments are identified on Relinquishment Map
R34612 (Attachment 2) for conveyance to MTS.
Section 73 of the California Streets and Highways Code governs that relinquishments are made by
resolution of the California Transportation Commission (CTC). It further requires Caltrans to give 90 days’
notice in writing of intention to relinquish to the City Council.
Caltrans and MTS have coordinated with the City to jointly define the segments depicted on the
Relinquishment Maps for conveyance. Caltrans is preparing a relinquishment resolution for consideration
by the CTC. Caltrans has requestedthat City Council pass a resolution consenting to the relinquishment,
authorizing the City Clerk to accept the property and waiving the 90 days’ noticing requirement of Section
73 of the California Streets and Highways Code. With Council’s approval, Caltrans will then go before the
CTC to complete the relinquishment process.
Caltrans has already transferred operational and maintenance responsibilities to the City and MTS. City and
MTS staff are developing a Landscape Maintenance Agreement (LMA) that defines areas of responsibility
between MTS and the City for the newly landscaped areas. Once completed, city staff will bring the LMA to
the City Council for approval. If needed, the City may issue MTS a temporary encroachment permit to
maintain their landscaping within the City right of way until the LMA is executed.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item
does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of
Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
P a g e | 3
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This relinquishment supports
the Connected Community goal as it seeks to connect existing City local streets with adjacent
improvements. The recent completion of the DAR project at Palomar Street and I-805 connects City streets
with MTS facilities and the state highway system.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with the maintenance of these improvements will be funded through a combination of
revenues the City receives from the Federal and State Gas Taxes and the Sandag Transnet Sales Tax. A
portion of the landscaping improvements will be maintained by the already established Open Space District
7.

THE FEDERAL GRANTS FUND
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The San Diego/Imperial High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (SDI HIDTA) and San Diego Law
Enforcement Coordination Center (SDLECC) request to reclassify one FA Program Assistant to FA Senior
Program Assistant, one FA Analyst to FA Intelligence Analyst, and one FA Senior Intelligence Analyst to FA

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The Police Department acts as the fiscal agent for various law enforcement programs which are funded
through various State and Federal agencies. As the fiscal agent, the Police Department hires and provides
salary and benefits for positions which are normally considered separate from existing City staffing. These
positions are designated as “FA” (Fiscal Agent) in the title description.
P a g e | 2
One FA Program Assistant is requested to be reclassified to FA Senior Program Assistant and One FA
Analyst to FA Intelligence Analyst. Both positions are located at the San Diego Law Enforcement Center
(SDLECC) and are funded by Department of Homeland Security grant funds. Over the years the
responsibilities of both positions have increased significantly to the point where they need to be
reclassified to the next level. One FA Senior Intelligence Analyst is requested to be reclassified to FA
Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, currently located at the Imperial Valley Law Enforcement Center
(IVLECC). This position is currently funded with HIDTA funds, and is requested to be reclassified due to the
crucial oversight required by the IVLECC Intelligence arena for the SDI HIDTA.
In an effort to address the needs of various departments and the City’s workforce, the Police Department is
proposing the reclassification of certain positions. The following identifies the affected positions and
proposed changes:

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11),
is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial
conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Amending the City’s
P a g e | 3
compensation schedule supports the goal of Operational Excellence by complying with the grant policies of
these positions.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the resolution will result in the reclassification one FA Program Assistant to a FA Senior
Program Assistant, one FA Analyst to a FA Intelligence Analyst, and one FA Senior Intelligence Analyst to
FA Supervisory Intelligence Analyst. These positions are budgeted in the Federal Grants Fund.
There is no net fiscal impact for these reclassifications, because each position expense is offset by revenues
for each grant funded position for a total of $43,505 in Fiscal Year 2019.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The City is fully reimbursed for Homeland Security and SDI HIDTA funded positions and receives a 4% and
5% administrative fee to act as a fiscal agent. The costs of the compensation adjustments for these
positions will be completely offset with grant revenues, resulting in no ongoing fiscal impact.

TITLE
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADDINGCHAPTER 19.100 TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT
AND ESTABLISH AN URBAN AGRICULTURE INCENTIVE ZONE
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council conduct the public hearing and place the ordinance on first reading.
SUMMARY
The State of California passed Assemby Bill (“AB”) 551 in 2013 to allow jurisdictions to create Urban
Agriculture Incentive Zones (“UAIZ”). UAIZ’s provide a tax incentive (by reducing property taxes) for
landowners to use their vacant or blighted property for agricultural purposes for a minimum of five years.
This is an effort to use otherwise vacant land, while creating an added benefit for the community.
On November 7, 2017, Council authorized staff to initiate the process for UAIZ adoption with the County,
whom provides first approval as the tax assessor (see City Council Resolution No. 17-198, Attachment 1).
The County approved the Chula Vista UAIZ on May 15, 2018 (see County Board of Supervisors Resolution No.
18-062, Attachment 2). Therefore, staff is bringing documents related to this item back to City Council for
final approval. City staff has reached out to potentially impacted taxing entities regarding the possible effects
of the UAIZ and has received no substantial questions, comment or concerns from these parties.
Tonight’s action would establish the UAIZ within Chula Vista City limits by adding Chapter 19.100 to the
Municipal Code (“CVMC”).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act
State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is
required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
Environmental Determination
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the
state CEQA Guidelines because the activity is voluntary and does not involve any commitment to any specific
P a g e | 2
project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Therefore, pursuant
to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is required. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the
scope of potential individual projects has been defined, environmental review will be required for each
project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On June 13, 2018, the Planning Commission provided an advisory recommendation that Council adopt (4-0)
the ordinance.
DISCUSSION
In keeping with the Healthy Community goal of the Strategic Plan, on January 5, 2016, the first Healthy Chula
Vista Action Plan was adopted, providing a set of strategies to review, create, and evaluate policies and
programs within the City and to develop key community partnerships to promote wellness within our
community. A key component of the plan included residents’ access to healthy food options.
Consistent with the adopted Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan and its strategies, staff is recommending the
adoption of an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone (UAIZ) within Chula Vista as allowed by Assembly Bill 551
(passed in 2013 and recently amended in September 2017)and as initially brought before you in November
2017.
AB551 allows jurisdictions to identify and adopt an UAIZ, an incentive for landowners to enter into contract
to use their otherwise “unused” property for agricultural use for a minimum of five years in exchange for a
reduction in property tax. Rather than paying the standard applicable property tax rate (e.g. commercial tax
rate for a commercial property), participating properties will be assessed at the lowest of three values: (1)
the value based on the average per-acre value of irrigated cropland in California; (2) the current fair market
value; or (3) the factored base year value (Proposition 13 value). If this is less than the current assessed
value of the land, then the owner will pay lower property taxes for the period of the UAIZ contract. AB551
identifies the parameters for the program which have been summarized into a program guide (see UAIZ
Program Guidelines, Attachment 3).
Over 150 properties within Chula Vista were identified as being eligible. While properties may have been
identified due to their current eligibility meeting the acreage requirements and by not having current
improvements (e.g. structures), the City expects far less properties will voluntarily participate due to
pending development plans. An analysis was conducted as part of the County approval process to identify
all potentially impacted taxing entities, and determined that if all City properties were to participate the
projected cost to all taxing entities would be between $345,000 to $395,000 annually, a summary specific to
the City is provided below under ongoing fiscal impact. An analysis would be conducted on each participating
parcel at time of application, with notification to the affected entities.
To establish the UAIZ for Chula Vista a Draft Ordinance was presented to the County Board of Supervisors in
substantial form. Since County approval, minor changes have been included to reduce barriers related to
agricultural use in specific residential zones, specifically CVMC section 19.100.060(B)(1). No other
P a g e | 3
substantive changes were made (see CVMC 19.100 UAIZ Program, Attachment 4). Once the UAIZ is effective,
interested landowners must enter into a contract with the City and will have 60 days to initiate the
agricultural use on the property (see Sample UAIZ Property Contract, Attachment 5). Currently contracts
can be entered into up until January 1, 2029, the sunset date of the State law. If the property owner breaches
their contract they will have to pay back the taxes the incentive granted them.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500
feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject to this action. Staff is not independently aware,
nor has staff been informed by any Planning Commission member, of any other fact that may constitute a
basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community,
Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This item supports Section 3.1.1 -
Implement policies and programs that support a healthy community, by providing healthier options.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Staff costs associated with the preparation of this staff report and for the UAIZ adoption process are offset
by grant funds through the Centers for Disease Control’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health
(REACH Chula Vista).
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Potential ongoing impacts were assessed by the County and any taxing agencies possibly affected by the
adoption of the UAIZ were notified of the May 15th County public hearing.
Specific to the city the following funds and total impact if all properties entered into a UAIZ could be impacted
annually.
City Fund Current Tax Projected Tax with UAIZ Loss due to UAIZ
General Fund $20,286 $3,557 ($16,729)
Otay Ranch No. 1 $771 $555 ($216)
District No. 1 $40,750 $38,062 ($2,688)
Bayfront Redevelopment Project -- ($61,590)
Merged Redevelopment (AB1290)-- ($33,697)
Otay Valley Rd. Redevelopment -- ($4,809)
Southwest Redevelopment Project --($104,238)
TOTAL POTENTIAL IMPACT ($223,967)
Some Redevelopment areas are impacted first before other taxing entities and therefore could be impacted
more significantly by a property utilizing the UAIZ program. Staff expects far less properties will voluntarily
participate, particularly in redevelopment areas due to pending development plans.

URBAN AGRICULTURE INCENTIVE ZONE
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
Background
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Act (UAIZ) was enacted in 2013 by the State of
California to enable local jurisdictions to enter into a contract to restrict the use of vacant,
unimproved, or otherwise blighted lands for small-scale production of agricultural crops and
animal husbandry. In return, property owners would have their property valued at the
lowest of three values; the value based on the average per-acre value of irrigated cropland
in California, the current fair market value, or the factored base year value (Proposition 13
value). The goal is to provide a tangible financial incentive for a landowner who may not be
interested in immediately developing vacant land to utilize their property for small-scale
agriculture. The savings varies from property to property depending on how the parcel is
currently assessed. The Chula Vista City Council adopted Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter
19.100 (the “Ordinance”) to establish an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program in the
City of Chula Vista.
The State act defines “agricultural use” as: the cultivation and tillage of the soil; the
production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any agricultural or horticultural
products; the raising of livestock, bees, fur-bearing animals, dairy-producing animals, and
poultry; agricultural education; and the sale of produce through field retail stands or farms
stands.
Scope of the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program
Targeted Population
The state legislation permits urban agriculture incentive zones to only be established in
“urban areas” with populations of 250,000 or more. The San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) estimated the City of Chula Vista over that requirement with a
population of 265,070 as of January 1, 2016. The boundaries of the program are the City of
Chula Vista boundaries. Participants in the program would be owners of vacant, blighted, or
unimproved land interested in or already active in small-scale agriculture.
Determining Eligibility
This potential property tax reduction is an incentive offered citywide to property owners of
vacant, blighted, or otherwise unimproved properties. Vacant is defined as a parcel with
some form of improvement such as a slab, but with no structures. Unimproved is defined as
an empty parcel with no form of improvements on it. Blighted is defined by California Health
and Safety Code Section 33030.
Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone
Chula Vista Program Guidelines
2
The property must meet the standards established in State Code and the City of Chula Vista
ordinance. Properties must be at least 0.1 acre in size and no larger than 3 acres (between
4,356 and 130,680 square feet). They must be completely dedicated toward agricultural use,
free of any dwellings and only have physical structures that support the agricultural use of
the site. Allowed structures include, but are not limited to, toolsheds, greenhouses, produce
stands, and instructional space.
Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Agreement
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program agreement is a legal contract binding the
owner of a designated property to restrict the subject property to agricultural use consistent
with California State Code and Chula Vista Municipal Code for a minimum of 5 years. In
exchange for the dedication of property to agricultural uses, the owner will potentially
receive reduced property taxes. The agreement is recorded with the County, which allows
the Assessor to determine the property value at the lowest of three values; the value based
on the average per-acre value of irrigated cropland in California, the current fair market
value, or the factored base year value (Proposition 13 value). The agreement runs with the
property despite individual ownership.
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program agreement must be entered into or renewed
prior to January 1, 2029. The City of Chula Vista may propose to end the Urban Agriculture
Incentive Zone Program agreement if the property is not maintained in accordance with the
contract provisions. The City of Chula Vista may propose to extend the program, contingent
on the California State Legislature passing legislation extending the state bill. Maintenance
of agricultural use is required for the entire duration of the contract.
Inspection Schedule/Monitoring
The City is responsible for assurance that a property remains in compliance with the
provisions of the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program agreement.Properties must
begin urban agriculture operations within 60 days of contract filing. Annual monitoring will
entail site visits,staff review of compliance with contract requirements, and will provide
adequate review to ensure that agricultural use is occurring on the property. If there has
been a change in ownership the City will contact the new owner to explain the
responsibilities and provisions under the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program
agreement.
The City will work with property owners to remedy any problems identified through the
inspection process. A restoration plan may be prepared as part of a renewal of an agreement
to assure the necessary remedy. The yearly inspection is the minimum that will occur, the
City of Chula Vista has to the right/ability to inspect more frequently if concerns have been
raised in relation to the property.

Fiscal Impact
Property Owner Tax Savings
The County Assessor determines the property value at the lowest of three values; the value
based on the average per-acre value of irrigated cropland in California, the current fair
market value, or the factored base year value (Proposition 13 value).
Fees
This program includes the following fees, adopted by the City Council, effective ____, to
recover the costs of staff time devoted to the tasks specifically related to all components of
the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program: $__zoning determination fee, $__ County
filing fee.
Annual Threshold of New Reduction in Property Tax Revenue
Based on the current level of agricultural use within the City of Chula Vista, the City Council
does not establish an annual threshold. The City Council reserves the right to establish a
threshold in the future.
Fiscal Impact to Taxing Agencies
In establishing a UAIZ encompassing the entire city boundaries, over 150 separate
properties are identified as possibly eligible.If 100% of all potentially eligible properties
participated in the UAIZ, all taxing agencies combined could see that annual revenue drop by
$394,210.

OWNER] (“Property Owner”). The City and Property Owner are sometimes each referred to as

Background
In 2013, the State of California enacted the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act (commencing
with California Government Code section 51040) (“UAIZ Act”), which recognizes the public
interest in promoting sustainable urban farming. The UAIZ Act authorizes cities and counties to
establish Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones (“UAIZ”) for the purpose of entering into voluntary
contracts with property owners of vacant, unimproved, or blighted lands within the zone.
Through these contracts, property owners can agree to commit their land to urban agriculture for
a minimum of five years in exchange for potential lower property taxes during the term of the
contract.
To take advantage of the UAIZ Act, the City, in 2018, adopted Chula Vista Municipal Code
Chapter 19.100 (the “Ordinance”). The Ordinance authorizes the City Manager or the City
Manager’s designees to enter into UAIZ Contracts with eligible property owners who agree to
restrict the use of eligible property to small-scale agriculture uses (“Urban Agriculture” or
“Agricultural Uses”) for an initial term of no less than five years, subject to the terms of the
Ordinance, in exchange for potential lower property taxes during the term of the contract.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project was adequately covered
in previously adopted Final Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan (FEIR 07-01) (SCH#2007041074). The Development Services Director has
determined that only minor technical changes or additions to this document are necessary and that none of
the conditions described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a
subsequent document have occurred; therefore, the Development Service Director has prepared an
Addendum to FEIR 07-01.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On June 13, 2018, the Planning Commission took action and voted 4-0 that the Council adopt the
resolutions and the ordinances.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Millenia project (“Project”) is located at the southwest corner of Birch Road and Eastlake Parkway, east
of the SR 125 toll road (see Locator Map, Attachment 1). The Project was originally adopted on October 6,
2009 by Resolution No. 2009-224 and by Ordinance No. 3142 with subsequent amendments in 2013 and
two in 2016. The project site is 206-acres in area and has been fully graded. Millenia is described as an
urban mixed-use center with a maximum buildout of 2,983 multi-family residential units and 3,487 million
square feet of commercial uses including office, hospitality, retail and civic uses. More than four miles of
new streets have been installed to date, with the final phase of infrastructure development slated to start
construction in the fall of this year.
Approximately 70% of the 145 acres of private development land has either been sold to merchant builders
or is under contract with builders. The land sales to date include every land use contemplated for Millenia
including office, retail, hotel, and residential: rental, for-sale and affordable housing projects. Two projects
have been completed and fully occupied including the 273-unit Pulse Millenia Apartments and the 210-unit
Chelsea Investments Duetta family and Volta senior affordable apartments. Eight additional projects are
currently under construction including:
Ayres Hotel - a 135-room four story hotel. Scheduled to open by the end of 2018.
The Sudberry Properties Millenia Commons Retail Center - a 130,000 square foot retail center with
major tenants including Buy-Buy Baby, Ross, Home Goods and Cost Plus. Scheduled opening late
2018.
Trammel Crow Residential Alexan Apartments- a 309-unit mixed use rental project with 10,000
square feet of commercial and live work units. First occupancy scheduled for June 2018.
Trammel Crow Residential Esplanade Apartments - a 253-unit rental community scheduled to open
in mid-2019.
Metro, Evo and Trio by Meridian Communities - a 217-unit condominium project. As of May 2018,
the project has sold more than 130 homes.
Element and Z by Shea Homes - a two product community comprised of 106 three story townhomes
and 70 detached urban homes. As of May 2018, more than 100 of the homes had been sold.
Skylar by KB Homes - a 79-unit project of detached urban homes. As of May 2018, 14 of the homes
had been sold.
Boulevard by Lennar - a 78-unit townhome project. As of May 2018, building permits had been
pulled for approximately 30-units and first occupancies are anticipated in October of this year.
P a g e | 3
In addition, Chesnut Properties is in City building plan check for the first of three office campus projects
which includes 324,100 square feet of class A office, an amenity building and a five-story parking structure.
Meridian Communities has also submitted a Design Review application for Pinnacle, a proposed four-story
for-sale project.
Millenia also includes six parks, a fire station, a pedestrian bridge over Eastlake Parkway, and a site for a
future elementary school. One of the parks has been completed and is open for public use, and three more
are under design and expected to start construction within the next 9-12 months. The fire station is under
design and expected to be completed in early 2020, and the pedestrian bridge is under design with
construction slated to begin later this year. The school site has been graded but timing for the school’s
construction has not yet been identified by the District.
The project also incorporates a segment of the San Diego Association of Governments (“SANDAG”) Bus
Rapid Transit line. The construction of the first two segments of the guideway in the Millenia project have
been advanced by the applicant and will be complete in the summer of this year. SANDAG has agreed to
implement service to Millenia starting in 2019.
Necessity of Amendments
Millenia was intended to build out over a period of decades, with the project intensifying over time in
response to market demand and opportunities. The plan discusses this phased intensification over time
which would occur when surface parking lots were converted to structured parking and taller buildings or
via redevelopment or tear downs and replacements with more intensive land uses.
While intended to build out and intensify over an extended timeframe, as discussed above, more than 70%
of the private development land in Millenia is already contracted with merchant builders. The developer
indicates that in order to keep the overall project viable in the current marketplace amendments are
necessary at this time. City staff concurred that due to the pace development is occurring additional
amendments to the regulatory documents are critical at this point. Staff has been working closely with the
applicant to ensure the proposed amendments not only provide the flexibility to move the project forward
at this time, but to ensure both the original vision of the project is maintained and future opportunities are
not lost due to the initial build out of the project.
Compliance with Council Policy No. 400-02 (Public Participation)
The Applicant conducted a public workshop to present the proposed amendments on April 5, 2018 at the
Otay Ranch Library’s HUB. The meeting was noticed in the paper and mailed to residents and Home Owner
Associations in compliance with Council Policy No. 400-02.
Proposed Amendments & Analysis
The proposed amendments to the Millenia SPA Plan (“SPA”), and Form Based Code can be summarized in
three main topic areas.
1. Land Use Intensities - Amend the SPA and Form Based Code to establish new maximum and low
land use intensities of 2,983/1,236 residential units and 3.324M/1.568M square feet of commercial
uses.
2. Main Street District (6) - Revisions to reduce the amount of residential and commercial land uses,
and modify the geographic distribution of those commercial uses in the district.
3. Design Standard Modifications - Revise the Minimum Average Height on six lots from five stories to
four stories and modify the minimum height in feet for residential buildings. The amendment also
introduces a concept of “height blending” for four lots and establishes deviations for setbacks.
P a g e | 4
Applicable text, tables and exhibits to reflect these changes have been submitted in the proposed
amendment, (see EUC SPA Amendment, Attachment 2), and an analysis is provided below.
1. Land Use Intensities
The existing SPA identifies a low, target and high land use intensity for each district, as depicted in the table
below. The low represents the minimum to be built in that district and the target is the maximum, with all
Districts totaling to a target not to exceed for the entire development of 3.487M square feet of non-
residential and 2,983 units of residential. The high column represents a maximum intensity if transfers
occurred between districts, in other words, the developer could increase above the target administratively
as long as they reduced an equal amount from another district. If the developer ever proposed to increase
above the high amounts in a district the zoning administrator would need to make findings for that
approval per Section 04.05.003.
Initial and Full Build
The proposed amendment eliminates a set target and allows the applicant to work within the low and high
ranges as depicted in the table below. The low column representation the initial or minimum build out of
the project and the high column represents the previous target numbers or maximum full build. Changes to
both low and highs within Districts have also been made to account for what has been built to date and
what is anticipated.
District Description Acreage Low Target High Low Target High
1 Gateway Mixed Use Commercial District 22.7 100 400 700 - 50 100
2 Northwestern Neighborhood District 13.2 2 120 200 150 300 500
3 Northeastern Neighborhood District 17.2 10 50 250 150 400 750
4 Business District 25.4 505 1,532 1,900 - 100 150
5 Mixed Use Civic/Office Core District 23.3 100 900 1,000 - 200 300
6 Main Street District 34.7 80 240 400 100 533 800

Total 206.6 799 3,487 1,080 2,983
Non-Residential (1,000 SF)Residential DUs
Adopted Land Use Intensities
P a g e | 5
As seen in the tables above, the proposed residential intensities are unchanged in the high column and have
increased by 156 units in the low. The non-residential intensity is reduced by 163,000 in the high and
increased 769,000 in the low. The applicant suggests that market conditions, other development
entitlements approved by the City in Otay Ranch, and changes in the nature of office and retail development
necessitate the reduction of the high non-residential. The proposal doesn’t modify any of the boundaries of
any of the land use districts, or reduce the acreage of land available for employment uses. A discussion of
the job generation of the proposed amendment is included in the discussion of the Developer Agreement.
Land Use Intensity Transfers
Since the ability for the developer to increase above the target through transfers up to the high has been
removed in the proposed amendment, new language is proposed in Section 04.05.003 on page IV-12, to
retain flexibility between districts, allowing an increase up to 10% to occur administratively over the high
intensity as long as an equal amount is transferred or deducted from another District with the ultimate
maximum build being maintained. Any proposal more than 10% would require the same Zoning
Administrator findings.
In addition, an exception for District 4 is proposed to build at 500,000 square feet instead of the designated
800,000 in the revised intensity table, providing that an ultimate block plan is submitted at time of project
processing, showing that the additional 300,000 can be provided in the future. This provides flexibility for
the Millenia Office space to evolve over time and meet market demands.
2. Main Street District (6)
The Main Street District is the mixed-use heart of the Millenia plan. The current plan envisions an activated
and vibrant mixed-use environment with ground floor commercial uses and residential or office uses
above. Horizontal mixed use is also permitted. The terminus of the Main Street District is Metro Park, a
2.28-acre privately owned and maintained (but publicly accessible) park. The land uses currently in the
plan for the Main Street District is a target of 240,000 square feet of commercial uses, with a low of 80,000
square feet and a high end of 400,000 square feet.
The Applicant indicates that the current retail market is not expected to be able to absorb the amount of
retail which is currently required for this district in the timeframe in which the Applicant expects the Main
Street to develop, and is therefore proposing to modify the amount and distribution of commercial uses in
the Main Street District. The table below provides a comparison of the existing and proposed land use
intensities for District 6.
District Description Acreage Low Target High Low Target High
1 Gateway Mixed Use Commercial District 22.7 227 400 - 89
2 Northwestern Neighborhood District 13.2 2 2 273 273
3 Northeastern Neighborhood District 17.2 2 5 150 475

In order to ensure that the Main Street area remains flexible to evolve staff and the applicant agreed upon
updates to Section 2.04.003 to require that the ground floor be built to accommodate commercial uses in
the future through specific thresholds and buildings standards for live work units and commercial space.
In addition, interim uses are allowed in this space to provide flexibility at initial build. While the low will
remain the same as the existing plan, the high would be reduced for both residential and non-residential.
Staff feels the development standard changes will retain the pedestrian oriented vibrancy intended for this
District.
3. Design Standard Modifications
Building Heights
The FBC regulates building heights based on the concepts of minimum, maximum and average heights. It
further identifies the minimum height by either allowable stories or feet. The plan is divided into a series
of building height districts, each of which prescribe a minimum average building height which must be met
on the lots within the district. As an example, within a five-story building height district, it would be
possible to build four story buildings as long as five or six story buildings were also constructed, such that
the average building height within the height district averaged out to five stories.
Two amendments are requested to the Regulating Plan in the FBC (reference Attachment 2 - Exhibit III-49
on page III-69), as follows:
1. Reduction in Average Height for Six Lots:
The Applicant is proposing to modify the Regulating Plan, to reduce the minimum average
stories from five to four stories on six lots (SPA Plan Lots 10, 13, 19, 22-24). This change would
affect approximately 7% of the acreage in the overall project, as follows:
Lot 10 - existing five story affordable housing development (Duetta and Volta);
Lot 13 - undeveloped;
Lots 19 and 22 - owned by Applicant and currently being processed as a four-story product
(“Pinnacle”); and
Lots 23 and 24 - owned by Applicant and undeveloped.
The Applicant indicates that a five-story residential product is not viable in the current market.
If the proposed amendment is not approved and Lots 19 and 22 are developed with the current
proposed project Pinnacle, Lots 23 and 24 would be obligated to be built at a minimum of six
stories to meet the average height requirements in the approved FBC.
The Applicant has provided representative imagery in the SPA Amendment for the four-story
product to demonstrate that the reduction in Minimum Average Height from five to four-stories

will still provide both a compatible massing with adjacent existing and proposed development
and a pedestrian-oriented experience.
2. Modifications to Residential Minimum Building Height:
As the height requirements can be met via either the number of stories or the building heights
in feet, the Applicant is also proposing to differentiate between residential and non-residential
heights and modify the approved minimum building height for residential. The proposed
minimum heights and difference between the existing and proposed building height
requirement table are shown below and on Exhibit III-49 (page III-69) of the proposed FBC
amendments and summarized in the table below.
All future buildings will still be required to comply with the Building Typologies and the
Architectural Design Guidelines of the Millenia plan. Further, the proposed reduction in
Minimum Average Height will not compromise the ability of future development in this height
district to continue to comply with the applicable principles and concepts.
Height Blending
Four lots sit south of Metro Park and are adjacent to the Regional Trail. The lots cross two regulatory
districts (6 and 9) in the SPA. The concept of height blending has been introduced in the proposed
amendment on page III-68 of the FBC in order to allow the combination of 3- and 4-story heights across
land in the two districts if one comprehensive project is proposed.
Building Setbacks
A deviation from setbacks has been added on page III-77 of the FBC to allow properties that may have slope
or grade differences, as well as unique operational characteristics. An example of the need for this setback
deviations is the proposed Fire Station to be located at the corner of Millenia Avenue and Stylus Street.
Associated Regulatory Documents
Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP)
A PFFP has been prepared as a supplemental document to the original PFFP dated October 6, 2009 (see
Public Facilities Finance Plan, Attachment 3). The Supplemental PFFP analyzes the changes to the ultimate
buildout land use intensities, any potential impacts on public facilities and services, and identifies the
facilities, phasing and timing triggers for the provision of facilities and services to serve the project,
consistent with the City’s Quality of Life Threshold Standards. The analysis concludes that the proposed
reduction in buildout land use intensities would not negatively impact any of the applicable thresholds or
standards. It should be noted that the Supplemental PFFP is relatively simple as the Applicant has agreed

to comply with all prior conditions of the Millenia plan, including all required EIR mitigation measures,
despite the proposed reduction in buildout intensities in the plan.
As previously described, development of Millenia is underway, and much of the “backbone” infrastructure
has been installed per the original PFFP. As a result, the mitigation measures identified in the PFFP remain
unchanged from the original project proposal (no reduction in mitigation measures as a result of the
potential reduced buildout). Consistent with the original PFFP, the Developer entered into an agreement
entitled “Agreement Regarding Construction of Parks in a Portion of the Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center”,
as part of the original entitlements (the “Parks Agreement”). The Parks Agreement was subsequently
amended twice, once in 2015 and once in 2016. The current Parks Agreement provides for park facilities
assuming a build-out of 2,983 residential units (but contemplates the possibility of 2,550 units). No
amendment to the Parks Agreement is proposed at this time. Should the Master Developer construct fewer
than 2,550 residential units, further amendment of the Parks Agreement may be requested.
Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA)
The Applicant’s proposal includes a revised Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) evaluating the proposed
amendment (see Fiscal Impact Analysis, Attachment 4). This FIA has been prepared using the City’s new
fiscal model which was first provided to the Applicant in October of last year. Staff worked with the
Applicant who provided the necessary project-specific inputs to the plan needed to calculate the City’s
maintenance costs.
It is important to note that the FIA presents a projection of the anticipated fiscal impacts of the
development, based upon the best information currently available. Actual fiscal impacts as a result of
development may vary from model outcomes.
The FIA evaluates the following scenarios:
1. Proposed Amendment Maximum Buildout - This scenario assumes development of the proposed
maximum buildout, including 2,550 residential units and 3.115 million square feet of non-
residential uses. The non-residential uses assumed include approximately 2.55 million square feet
of office, 388,000 square feet of retail uses, 130,000 square feet of civic uses (school and fire
station), and a single 135-room hotel.
2. 2009 Adopted Plan Maximum Buildout (assumes 500 hotel rooms) - This scenario assumes
development of the adopted maximum building, including 2,983 residential units and 3.487 million
square feet of non-residential uses. The non-residential uses assumed in the 2009 plan include
approximately 2.0 million square feet of office, approximately 800,000 square feet of retail uses,
160,000 square feet of civic uses, and two hotels totaling 500 rooms.
3. 2009 Adopted Plan with reduced Hotel (assumes 135 hotel rooms) - In recognition of the fact that
since the original Millenia entitlements were approved the City has approved three hotels in
addition to the one approved in Millenia - this scenario looks at the 2009 full build scenario but
includes only the 135-room hotel currently under construction (reduction of 365 hotel rooms).
Based on the FIA and the assumptions contained therein, all of the scenarios above are projected to
generate a positive net fiscal impact to the City by year two (2019/2020). The relative fiscal performance
of the three scenarios over a 30-year buildout term are compared in the table below.

The Proposed Amendment (135 Hotel Room) scenario assumes development phasing as summarized in the
table below.
*Note: Civic uses are assumed to have no net fiscal impact and are therefore excluded.
The Proposed Amendment phasing assumptions can be compared with the assumptions in the 2009
Adopted Plan fiscal analysis, summarized in the table below.
Overall, comparing projected net annual fiscal impacts in year 30 for the 2009 Adopted Plan and the
Proposed Amendment ($10.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively) indicates a $4.5 million reducedannual
positive fiscal impact. It is important to note that a key driver reducing the fiscal benefit to the City
between the Proposed Amendment scenario and the 2009 Adopted Plan scenario is Transient Occupancy
Taxes, and the fact that the City’s model attributes very little service costs to hotels. At year 30,
approximately $2.3 million of the projected net fiscal benefit associated with the 2009 Adopted Maximum
Buildout Scenario is attributable to the 365 additional hotel rooms assumed under that scenario. This is a
relevant comparison as it recognizes that the City has not lost the TOT revenues, but rather those revenues

have been relocated to other locations in the Eastern Territories where hotels have been added since the

Addendum to FEIR 07-01
Section 21002 of the CEQA requires that an environmental impact report identify the significant effects of a
project on the environment and provide measures or alternatives that can mitigate or avoid those
significant effects. The Millenia SPA was analyzed in the previously adopted Final Environmental Impact
Report for the Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan (FEIR 07-01) (SCH
#2007041074). Previous Addendums were prepared for two prior SPA Plan Amendments. The First
Addendum to the FEIR was approved as part of an amendment to modify building heights and land uses
affecting the Genesis project in March of 2013. The second Addendum to the FEIR analyzed the impact of
relocating the school site and modify building height boundaries associated with the Millenia Commons
retail project.
As a result of the analysis of the proposed amendment, the basic conclusions and impacts identified in FEIR
07-01 were determined to not have changed. The land use and public service impacts are found to be less
than significant for the current proposed plan amendments and were adequately covered in FEIR 07-01.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the third
Addendum to the FEIR(see Environmental Impact Report Addendum, Attachment 5).
Developer Agreement
A Developer Agreement (DA) was recorded on October 27, 2009 as Document No. 2009-0595116 of Official
Records in the Office of the San Diego County Recorder. Because of the material change being proposed by
the developer to reduce the total amount of development, an amendment to the original DA, (see First
Amendment to the Developer Agreement, Attachment 6), documenting this reduction is required and the
two changes to the public benefit documented as follows:
1. Net Revenue - The first benefit identified in the existing DA was annual net revenue over the cost of
providing municipal services of approximately $5.0 million in buildout year 22. As shown above,
the updated fiscal impact analysis using a more current fiscal model shows that the original project
could have resulted in estimated annual net revenues of $10.0 million in year 30. Applying this new
fiscal model to the proposed project amendment, including the reduced non-residential
development, the estimated annual net revenue is projected to be approximately $5.5 million in
year 30. While this equates to a reduction of $4.5 million annually from the approved plan, it still
represents a significant positive fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.
2. Job Generation - The second benefit identified was that the completed project would generate
approximately 9,206 jobs with 3.487 million square feet of commercial space. With a reduction of
the maximum non-residential development to 3.324 million square feet, the opportunity to
maintain over 8,700 jobs is provided by the amendment.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that no City Council Member has
property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, this item does not represent a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political
Reform Act (Cal. Gov. Code section 87100 et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council Member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
P a g e | 11
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Millenia Project supports
the Economic Vitality goal, particularly City Initiative 2.1.3 (Promote and support development of quality
master-planned communities). The subsequent SPA Plan amendment implementation documents (the SPA
Plan, Master Precise Plan, and TSM) support the development of a high-quality master-planned community
(as described above) with a park, jobs, transit, shopping, and other amenities, all within walking distance
for residents. The Project implements the Strong and Secure Neighborhoods Strategic goal by providing
construction of a development project in a manner that ensures code compliance, public health and safety
of the community.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with preparing and processing the SPA Plan amendment and all supporting documents
were borne by the developer, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Development
Services Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
As discussed in the Fiscal Impact Analysis section of this report, the Proposed Amendment is projected to
result in net positive fiscal impacts throughout the development period, ranging from $1.5 million to $5.5
million annually. Cumulative impacts of the Proposed Amendment buildout scenario during the term of the
30-year analysis are anticipated to total approximately $69.8 million, with an annual average positive
impact of $2.3 million.
The table below summarizes the projected annual net fiscal impact for representative buildout years for
the Proposed Amendment, the 2009 Adopted Plan as originally approved (assuming 500 hotel rooms), and
the 2009 Adopted Plan (assuming only the 135 hotel rooms constructed to date).
Comparison of Modeled Fiscal Impact Scenarios (Annual Net Impact, Millions)
Year 5 Year 10 Year 15 Year 20 Year 25 Year 30
Proposed
Amendment
(135 Hotel Rooms)
Revenues $ 4.7 $ 7.7 $ 8.7 $ 9.8 $ 11.3 $ 13.1
Expenses $ (3.2)$ (6.3)$ (7.1)$ (7.3)$ (7.4)$ (7.6)
Net Impact $ 1.5 $ 1.4 $ 1.5 $ 2.6 $ 3.8 $ 5.5
2009 Adopted Plan
(135 Hotel Rooms)
Revenues $ 2.4 $ 6.0 $ 9.9 $ 12.0 $ 13.8 $ 15.4
Expenses $ (2.1)$ (4.8)$ (7.2)$ (7.4)$ (7.6)$ (7.7)
Net Impact $ 0.3 $ 1.1 $ 2.7 $ 4.6 $ 6.2 $ 7.7
2009 Adopted Plan
(500 Hotel Rooms)
Revenues $ 2.4 $ 7.6 $ 11.7 $ 14.0 $ 15.9 $ 17.7
Expenses $ (2.0)$ (4.8)$ (7.2)$ (7.4)$ (7.6)$ (7.7)
Net Impact $ 0.3 $ 2.8 $ 4.5 $ 6.5 $ 8.3 $ 10.0
As illustrated in the table above, reducing the hotel rooms assumed to be developed by 365 decreases the
projected annual positive impact in year 30 by approximately $2.3 million. This accounts for just over 50%
of the total projected positive impact reduction in year 30 resulting from the Proposed Amendment.
Additional adjustments to the development plan further reduce the year 30 projected net positive fiscal
benefit from $10.0 million (2009 Adopted Plan with 500 hotel rooms) to $5.5 million.
While a comparison of the Proposed Amendment with the 2009 Adopted Plan (with 500 hotel rooms)
indicates reduced positive impacts of approximately $4.5 million annually in year 30, the plan continues to
indicate significant net positive impacts to the City’s General Fund as a result of the Millenia project.
P a g e | 12
When considering the above, it is important to note that the Fiscal Impact Analysis presents projections
based upon the best information currently available. Actual fiscal impacts as a result of this development
may vary from those indicated by the model.
Pursuant to Section 4.5 (Operating Deficit) of the Millenia Development Agreement, the Master Developer
will cover the City’s net operating deficit during the initial years of the project (excluding fire services), up
to a cumulative maximum of $500,000. The amount of the deficit is to be determined via a fiscal study to be
prepared by the City at the Master Developer’s cost. Per the Development Agreement, the first fiscal
analysis “shall be conducted following the end of the fiscal year which is two (2) years following the first
occupancy within the Property, and annually thereafter at the end of each fiscal year.” The first Millenia
certificate of occupancy was issued to Fairfield Residential, on October 23, 2015. Based upon this date, the
first fiscal analysis shall be conducted after June 30, 2018. Initiation of the first fiscal analysis is expected in
July of 2018.

Millenia Amendment
A. Background and Context of Proposed Project
The proposed project, Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center (now known as Millenia) Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan, is located within the Otay Ranch Planned Community in eastern Chula
Vista. The Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) was initially adopted in 1993 to guide
the development of the planned community through incremental SPA plans. The Otay Ranch GDP
and the Millenia SPA Plan have been amended several times since adoption in response to changes
and experiences in the market. Originally, Millenia was intended to provide the location for high
intensity uses, with the other Villages providing neighborhood serving centrally located Village
Cores. Since, the original GDP was approved a number high intensity development areas have
approved in the Otay Valley portion of Otay Ranch in addition to Millenia.
When the plan for the Eastern Urban Center was first adopted, the internet didn’t exist, so if you
wanted to buy the year’s hot toy, the Beanie Baby, you had to go to a store to buy it. You could not
use your smart phone to call the store because the iPhone did not exist. It is projected that it will
take a similar period of time - twenty plus years or more - to fully build-out Millenia. Just as central
business districts and cities evolve over time, so will Millenia. The initial phase is only the first
stage of the ultimate development. The intent of this amendment is to update the adopted plan to
reflect the initial phases of development and to respond to market changes, while ensuring a degree
of flexibility is maintained such that the plan can still respond to future market and lifestyle changes
that are difficult or impossible to predict.
In the original GDP the Otay Ranch GDP had a series of Villages with a central core that contained
neighborhood serving commercial, a park and school and the higher densities. Millenia provided
the single area where the highest density residential and regional commercial were located. The
Otay Ranch Plan has evolved significantly since its initial adoption in 1993. In fact, since the
Millenia plan was adopted in 2009, virtually every remaining village in the Otay Valley portion of
the plan, has been fundamentally re-planned and those re-planning efforts continue to this day. The
(6/28/2018)
Millenia Amendment
following Exhibits graphically depict how the GDP has changed over time. Conversely, there have
been four minor amendments to the Millenia plan since its adoption; however, the intensity and
distribution of land uses remained relatively unchanged.
More significant changes occurred in the villages. Instead of having local serving neighborhood
core, higher density residential increased dramatically. The total number of multi-family units was
increased by over 50%. This increase resulted in significant competition to Millenia within this
market area. Millenia was no longer the primary location for multi-family residential.
Additionally, the non-residential components of the GDP have changed dramatically. In the original
GDP the villages only had neighborhood commercial serving the local village. The current plan
includes larger commercial areas located external to the village cores at arterial intersections. The
type, size, and location of these commercial areas allows them to compete directly with Millenia to
attract community and regional commercial uses. And, with the addition by the City of the Regional
Technology Park (University Park and Innovation District), and significant commercial components
added to other villages, the role of the Millenia plan as the central hub for future offices uses in the
Eastern Territories has been altered.
Creating an urban center in a suburban location always has challenges, but the dispersal of high
intensity urban uses is in direct competition to achieving the original intent of Millenia as being the
(6/28/2018)
Millenia Amendment
central urban center. Millenia previously had to compete with urban cores in the San Diego region,
but now the competition is within the GDP itself. The result of the increased multi-family,
commercial, and office within the GDP has changed the Millenia’s competitive advantage and will
likely hamper or delay its ability to achieve it’s build-out goals. The proposed amendment
recognizes the impact of this disadvantage, as well as the successes achieved in the initial phases
of construction, in the build-out land use projections for Millenia.
(6/28/2018)
Millenia Amendment
B. Summary Description
Millenia is currently being implemented with almost a dozen projects completed, under construction,
approved, or in the Design Review phase of development. These projects include City parks, a
hotel, office, retail, and affordable, rental, mixed-use and for-sale residential, representing virtually
every land use type contemplated in the plan. Seventy percent of the private development land has
been contracted with merchant builders. Since the SPA Plan was first approved in 2009, it has been
amended four times in response to changes in public and private influences and actual market
experiences.
The applicant, SLF IV – Millenia, LLC, is the owner and Master Developer of Millenia. The
applicant has agreed to implement all the mitigation measures adopted in the certified EIR, even
though the project build-out proposed by this amendment may be less than the maximum intensity
allowed.
The adopted project implementation documents were designed to allow implementation flexibility
using a Form Based Code format. Two provisions of the code were adopted with less flexible
prescriptive standards. These include; the maximum/minimum intensity requirements in the Site
Utilization Plan and, the minimum height standards for certain areas in the FBC. Based on
experiences discovered during implementation, minor amendments to these standards to allow
flexibility will enhance the ability of Millenia to be developed with the intended character.
The Site Utilization Plan included a maximum intensity for residential and non-residential
development. The unusual feature of these standards was the maximum appeared to be the
minimum. Any development at build-out that would not achieve the exact maximum intensity
would have appeared to be inconsistent with code. This amendment corrects this provision by
allowing a reduced intensity for build-out of the plan for both residential and commercial land uses.
The amendments to the SUP also reflect a re-distribution of the remaining commercial land uses to
reflect what is expected to be achievable in the short and mid-term retail market.
The other provision in the code, proposed for amendment, is the minimum height standards for six
residential parcels designated as five story minimum. A five story residential project has a number
of practical restrictions, which would constrain the critical initial project momentum. These parcels
are being amended to a new four story designation. Additionally, the permitted height minimums
are being adjusted in several of the districts to reflect more contemporary building forms expected
in those districts. To facilitate more comprehensive planning and to allow for more latitude in
project design and implementation of the main street concepts, the application also introduces the
concept of height blending between TM Lots 17 and 18 in the Main Street District and Lots 23 and
24 in the Central Southern Neighborhood District. Illustrations have been added to show how
various building features can be used to create building height.
Most of the districts in Millenia are fairly straight forward from a regulatory perspective, but the
design guidelines for the Main Street District have always been the most challenging. Since, the
original guidelines were adopted the market and evolution of this type of development have evolved.
During the initial plan development, a number of projects were reviewed that tried to create a “Main
Street” component in their plan. Some were successful, but many suffered from a failed “build it
and they will come” approach. The worst thing that can happen is the Main Street to be built and
(6/28/2018)
MILLENIA Amendment - Project Description
have numerous vacant store fronts. Such an outcome would not achieve the goal of providing an
active, vibrant environment, and worse still, would stigmatize the remainder of the plan.
What is included in the proposed guidelines, is a Main Street plan which provides for ground floor
commercial uses, including strategically placed commercial nodes located at intersections, mid-
block commercial, live/work opportunities, and creative office and dedicated retail space on the
south. East and west sides of the Town Center Park. The intent of this concept is to correctly size,
and geographically distribute the commercial uses in the Main Street District to create the intended
character while addressing the need for supply of commercial to evolve with demand, avoiding the
potential for vacant storefronts or underperforming, or marginal retail uses. Some design illustrations
of the proposed Main Street District guidelines are included after the Site Utilization Plan and
Height District Exhibits.
The primary exhibits proposed for amendment are provided on the following pages. Adopted
exhibits are shown with diagonal line across the exhibit and labeled as “Adopted”. Proposed
replacement exhibits are designated as “Proposed”. The application process will involve discussions
on the format of the proposed amendment. Following these initial discussions, the related text
changes can be completed. These minor details and refinements would not change the impact of the
amendment.
The application materials being submitted also include a retail market study and a fiscal study,
which analyzes the most conservative target land use scenario. It is also anticipated that a
Supplemental Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) will be required. That document will be
provided once the target and reserve land uses are determined.

Supplemental PFFP
I.OVERVIEW
This Supplemental Public Facility Finance Plan (PFFP) addresses the public facility needs
associated with the current amendment to the Millenia (previously known as the Eastern Urban
Area or EUC) Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan. This PFFP has been prepared under the
requirements of the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program and Chapter 9, Growth
Management, of the Otay Ranch GDP. The preparation of a PFFP is required in conjunction
with the preparation of the SPA Plan to ensure that the development of the project is consistent
with the overall goals and policies of the City's General Plan, Growth Management Program, and
the Otay Ranch GDP.
This Supplemental Public Facility Finance Plan (Supplemental PFFP) addresses changes to the
public facility needs associated with the Millenia SPA Plan Amendment. This Supplemental
PFFP is based upon the project information provided in the Project Description for the Millenia
SPA Plan amendment prepared by Cinti Land Planning dated June 18, 2018.
The proposed amendment includes the following elements:
1.Elimination of the “target” land use intensity category. The amendment retains the
adopted maximums of 2,983 residential units and 3.324 million square feet of
commercial land uses and will allow, but not require, site development up to these
maximums.
2.A revised Main Street concept focused on revisions to the quantity and distribution of
commercial land uses in the Main Street District.
3.A reduction and blending of height regulations for certain lots including the addition of
a four story height category.
The adopted Millenia SPA Plan is currently being implemented with almost a dozen projects
completed, under construction, approved, or in the Design Review phase of development. These
projects include City parks, fire station and pedestrian bridge, a hotel, office, retail, and
affordable, rental, mixed-use and for-sale residential, which cumulatively represent virtually
every land use type contemplated in the plan. Seventy percent of the private development land
has been contracted with merchant builders. Since the SPA Plan was first approved in 2009, it
has been amended four times in response to changes in public and private influences and actual
market experiences.
The adopted Site Utilization Plan (SUP) included a maximum build for residential and
non-residential development. The unusual feature of these standards was that the maximum
appeared to also be the minimum. With this interpretation, any development at build-out that
would not achieve the exact maximum build would be inconsistent with adopted plan. This
provision is currently inhibiting implementation of the project. The proposed SPA Plan
amendment corrects this by allowing a reduced intensity for build-out of the plan for both
residential and commercial land uses.
(06/28/18)1
Millenia
Supplemental PFFP
The applicant, SLF IV – Millenia, LLC, is the owner and Master Developer of Millenia. The
applicant has agreed to implement all the mitigation measures adopted in the certified EIR, even
though the project build-out proposed by this amendment may be less than the maximum build
allowed and which is the basis for the public facility capacities incorporated into the project.
Because a reduced intensity project would be within the parameters of the impact assumptions of
the approved project, and the applicant is not requesting relief from any of the approved
mitigation measures, no new environmental analysis or technical facility analyses are necessary
for this project. The infrastructure provided with the project is based on the maximum build
permitted intensity of 3,324,000 square feet of non-residential uses and 2,983 dwelling units,
notwithstanding the low-range build-out projections shown on the proposed Site Utilization Plan
(Exhibit 1). Traffic, water, sewer, recycled water and storm drainage improvements will be built-
out for the maximum build, as assessed in the original PFFP. Provision of population based
facilities/services and impact fee payments will be determined by actual unit counts as the project
is built-out.
As noted above, development of Millenia is underway and much of the “backbone” infrastructure
has been installed per the original PFFP as individual development sites have been prepared by
the master developer for merchant builders. Because all of the public facility improvements and
mitigation measures are unchanged from the original project approval, the scope of this
Supplemental PFFP is limited.
II.PURPOSE
The purpose of all PFFPs in the City of Chula Vista is to implement the City’s Growth
Management Program and to meet the Chula Vista General Plan goals and objectives,
specifically those within the Growth Management Element. The Growth Management Program
ensures that development occurs only when the necessary public facilities and services exist or
are provided concurrent with the demands of new development. The Growth Management
Program requires a PFFP be prepared for every new development project which requires either a
SPA Plan or tentative map approval. Similarly, amendments to a SPA Plan may require an
amendment or supplement to the PFFP. The purpose of this Supplemental PFFP is to update and
clarify the original 2009 PFFP to address changes to the project identified above.
In the City of Chula Vista, the PFFP is intended to ensure adequate levels of service are achieved
for all public services and facilities impacted by a project. It is understood that assumed growth
projections and related public facilities needs are subject to a number of external factors, such as
the local economy, the City’s future land use approval decisions, etc. It is also understood that
funding sources specified herein may change due to financing programs available in the future or
requirements of either state or federal laws. It is intended that revisions to cost estimates and
funding programs be handled as administrative revisions; whereas revisions to the facilities-
driven growth phases are accomplished through an update process via an amendment or
supplement to the PFFP.

III.BASIS of the ANALYSIS
The key statistical change associated with the proposed amendment is the elimination of target
intensities for build-out of the plan for both residential and commercial land uses. The proposed
development statistics are provided in the Proposed Site Utilization Plan provided as Exhibit 1.
Because the original adopted PFFP already analyzes the maximum build-out scenario, new
analyses are not required for the proposed amendment. This document briefly summaries and
updates the Millenia SPA PFFP topics.

IV.DEVELOPMENT PHASING
The adopted Millenia SPA Plan is currently being implemented with almost a dozen projects
completed, under construction, approved, or in the Design Review phase of development. These
projects include City parks, fire station and pedestrian bridge, a hotel, office, retail, and
affordable, rental, mixed-use and for-sale residential, which represents virtually every land use
type contemplated in the plan. Seventy percent of the private development land has been
contracted with merchant builders.
The development of the Millenia SPA will continue to be implemented in four non-sequential
phases as described in Conceptual Phasing Plan (Exhibit 5 of the original PFFP).
Sequential phasing is frequently inaccurate because of unforeseen market changes or regulatory
constraints. Therefore, the Millenia SPA Plan permits non-sequential phasing by imposing
specific facilities requirements for each development increment regardless of which phase it is
located. This will ensure that new Millenia SPA development is adequately served and City
threshold standards are met. Construction of the major on-site streets, which serve multiple
phases, shall be phased according to the provisions of the original PFFP, including Table B.4 on
page 22 of that document.
V.DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAMS
The project must continue to comply with various development impact fee programs of the City
of Chula Vista to cover the costs of certain public improvements and facilities included in those
fee programs. These fee programs include the Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF),
the Traffic Signal Participation fee, the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF), the
Parkland Acquisition and Development In-Lieu (PAD) fee, the Millenia Pedestrian Bridge
impact fee program and the applicable sewer fee programs - the Salt Creek and Poggi Canyon
sewer basin fee programs and the sewer capacity charge fee. All impact fee rates are subject to
annual adjustments and proposed development will be required to pay the fee in effect at the time
of approval, or alternatively satisfy the public facility and improvement obligation per the
adopted Millenia Development Agreement or Parks Agreement as provided for in the project
approvals.
The current (effective 10/2017) Transportation DIF Schedule is provided in Table B.6 below
which updates the corresponding table in the original PFFP. The current Millenia Pedestrian
Bridge DIF amounts are Single Family - $615.13 per DU and Multi Family - $456.10 per DU.

The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is a separate development impact fee
program to provide funds to improve a variety of city facilities which are impacted by additional
growth. Both residential and non-residential development impact fees apply to the project. The
current fee amounts applicable to additional development are presented in the updated Table B.7,

Millenia
Supplemental PFFP
As noted previously, the applicant has agreed to construct all the improvements and mitigation
measures as identified in the original approval and thus no revised facility analysis is warranted
as part of this supplement.
VI. TRAFFIC
The SPA amendment does not propose changes to the circulation element roadways serving the
Project, including internal street cross sections and alignments. Since the maximum build
scenario in the proposed amendment is within approximately 5% of the maximum intensities
approved in the original SPA plan, the external trip distribution patterns to the surrounding
roadway network, including roadway segments, intersections, and freeway segments, will be
consistent with those identified with the original approval.
The amended project will comply with the all the traffic-related requirements and mitigation
measures associated with the original approval.
VII. POLICE
The demand for additional police services is based on the amount of new development in a
project. The amended project generates a similar demand for police services as identified in the
original PFFP. Therefore, the project must comply with the requirements identified in the
original PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 81), adjusted to actual unit counts and will be adequately
served.
VIII.FIRE and EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The demand for additional fire and emergency medical services is also based on the amount of
new development. The amended project generates a similar demand for fire and medical
emergency services as identified in the original PFFP. Therefore, the project must comply with
the requirements identified in the original PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 85), adjusted to actual unit
counts and will be adequately served.
IX.SCHOOLS
The amended project includes a potential elementary school site, consistent with the adopted
SPA Plan. The amended project generates the same number of elementary, middle and high
school students as identified in the original PFFP due to the same maximum build-out unit count.
(06/28/18)7
Millenia
Supplemental PFFP
The amended project must comply with the requirements identified in the original PFFP (2009
PFFP, Page 94). Consistent with these requirements, the master developer has entered into
School Mitigation Agreements with both school districts and has formed Community Facilities
District (CFD)18 for the Chula Vista Elementary School District and CFD18 for the Sweetwater
Union High School District. Neither of these school agreements, the school CFDs or any
mitigation obligations will change with the amendment so the amended project will continue to
be adequately served by schools.
X.LIBRARIES
The amended project includes a potential library site, consistent with the adopted SPA Plan. The
demand for additional library facilities is based on the amount of new residential development.
Similar to schools, the amended project generates the same demand for library services.
Therefore, the amended project must comply with the requirements identified in the original
PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 98), adjusted to actual unit counts and will be adequately served.
The library obligation is further defined in the Millenia Development Agreement. In February of
2016, the applicant and one of the applicant's merchant builders entered into a recorded
agreement with the City to transfer the library obligation from the applicant to the merchant
builder. The project's responsibilities regarding libraries will not change with the SPA
amendment so the amended project will continue to be adequately served by libraries.
XI. PARKS, TRAILS and OPEN SPACE
The amended project includes public and private park sites, consistent with the adopted SPA
Plan. The demand for additional parks is based on the amount of new residential development.
The amended project generates the same demand for parks. Trails and open space within the
Otay Ranch community are designated at the General Development Plan (GDP) and
implemented within each SPA. The amended SPA includes all the required GDP components
included in the adopted SPA Plan. Therefore, the amended project must comply with the
requirements identified in the original PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 111), adjusted to actual unit
counts and will be adequately served.
Consistent with those requirements, the master developer entered into an agreement entitled
“Agreement Regarding Construction of Parks in a Portion of the Otay Ranch Eastern Urban
Center” as part of the original entitlements. That agreement has been amended twice, once in
2015 and again in 2016. No further amendment to that agreement, which is based on a build-out
of 2,983 residential units (but contemplates the possibility of fewer units), will be required to
implement the proposed SPA amendment.
(06/28/18)8
Millenia
Supplemental PFFP
XII. WATER
The demand for additional water and recycled water service is based on the amount of new
development in a project. The amended project generates a similar demand for water and
recycled water as identified in the original PFFP. Therefore, the project must comply with the
requirements identified in the original PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 121), adjusted to actual unit
counts and will be adequately served.
XIII. SEWER
The demand for additional sewer service is based on the amount of new development in a
project. The amended project generates a similar demand for sewer service as identified in the
original PFFP. Therefore, the project must comply with the requirements identified in the
original PFFP (2009 PFFP, Page 133-134), adjusted to actual unit counts and will be adequately
served.
XIV. DRAINAGE
The need for additional drainage facilities is based on the amount of development (impervious
surface) in a project. The developed area of the amended project is the same as that of the
adopted SPA, hence the drainage needs of the amended project will be the same as the approved.
Therefore, the amended project must comply with the requirements identified in the original
PFFP (2009 PFFP, Pages 151-152).
In addition, the amended project would continue to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations including compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit requirements for urban runoff and stormwater discharge. Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for design, treatment, and monitoring for stormwater quality would be
implemented as required with respect to municipal and construction permits.
XV. AIR QUALITY
Air quality impacts associated with the adopted project were evaluated in the Air Quality
Improvement Plan (AQIP) prepared and adopted with the original project approval. The primary
factor in estimating ongoing emissions is the amount of vehicular traffic associated with the
project and the amount of traffic is directly related to the amount of new development. The
amended project would result in a similar level of development intensity. As a result, operational
emissions (specifically those resulting from mobile sources) associated with the amended project
would be similar to the prior analysis. Construction emissions would remain unchanged, because
no change in the construction schedule or required construction equipment is anticipated. The
(06/28/18)9
Millenia
Supplemental PFFP
previous analyses remain applicable to the proposed project, and no additional mitigation
measures would be required. The amended project must comply with the requirements in the
original PFFP (2009 PFFP Pages 156).
XVI. CIVIC CENTER
Per the original PFFP, there are no adopted Threshold Standards for the Civic Center. The
Public Facilities fee (see Section V. Development Impact Fee Programs) must be paid prior to
the issuance of building permits, at the rate in effect at the time payment is made.
XVII. CORPORATION YARD
Per the original PFFP, there are no adopted Threshold Standards for the Corporation Yard. The
Public Facilities fee (see Section V. Development Impact Fee Programs) must be paid prior to
the issuance of building permits, at the rate in effect at the time payment is made.
XVIII. OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES
Per the original PFFP, there are no adopted Threshold Standards other facilities which are part of
the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee Program. The Public Facilities fee (see Section V.
Development Impact Fee Programs) must be paid prior to the issuance of building permits, at the
rate in effect at the time payment is made.
XIX. FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Applicant will prepare an updated fiscal analysis for the amended project.
XX.PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE
The amended project will utilize the same public facility finance mechanisms as the approved
project. No changes are necessary to the original Public Facility Finance discussion.

Introduction
SLF IV - Millenia, LLC (“Owner” or “Client”) retained Pro Forma Advisors to evaluate the fiscal impacts of several build out
scenarios for the approved project commonly referred to as “Millenia” and previously referred to as the Eastern Urban
Center (“EUC”), which is part of the Otay Ranch Master Planned Community located in the City of Chula Vista (“City”).
These build-out scenarios include the following:
Proposed Amendment
This scenario assumes the Millenia project continues to intensify over time and builds out to the maximum buildout under
the proposed amendment which is 2,983 residential units and 3.1 million square feet of commercial uses. This scenario
includes approximately 2.7 million square feet of office, 395,000 square feet of commercial, a 135-room hotel and
approximately 130,000 square feet of civic uses.
2009 Adopted Plan
This scenario assumes the Millenia project builds out to the maximum buildout under the current entitlements of 2,983
residential units and 3.48 million square feet of commercial uses. This scenario includes approximately 2.0 million sf of
office, 980,000 square feet of commercial (including 160,000 square feet of civic and recreational uses), and two, 250-
room hotels (500 rooms total).
2009 Adopted Plan with Reduced Hotel
This scenario assumes the Millenia project builds out to the maximum buildout under the current entitlements but rather
than two, 250-room hotels, the project includes a single 135-room hotel similar to the proposed project.
The approved entitlements allow a maximum buildout at 2,983 residential units and 3.48 million square feet of
commercial uses. The prior fiscal impact study prepared as part of the approved public facilities financing plan (“PFFP”)
for Millenia evaluated the 2009 Adopted Plan scenario.
Results
The following analysis evaluates the fiscal impact of the various scenarios across a 30-year period, including build out
that is projected to occur prior to Fiscal Year (FY) 30. For the purposes of this analysis, net fiscal impacts refer to the
fiscal revenues less the fiscal costs generated by the development. A positive net fiscal impact means that the fiscal
revenues covers the costs generated by the development.
Using the City’s FIA Framework, the Proposed Amendment scenario would have a net positive revenue annual impact
of approximately $740,000 in Year 10 (FY 2027) that is expected to grow to approximately $2.4 million in an illustrative
Year 20 (FY 2037) and $5.4 million in an illustrative Year 30 (FY 2047).

In 2009, Economic Research Associates conducted a FIA for the approved EUC Specific Plan Area (SPA) that estimated
a range of positive net fiscal impacts of the project under a different development program. Using the City’s current FIA
model, the net fiscal impact associated with the 2009 Adopted Plan scenario is presented below. A second analysis is
also provided, for comparison purposes, with the 2009 Adopted Plan with Reduced Hotel.

Proposed Amendment
2009 Apodted Plan (135 Rooms)
2009 Apodted Plan (500 Rooms)
Source: Economics Research Associates; Pro Forma Advisors; City of Chula Vista
The purpose of including a scenario which assumes full buildout under the adopted plan but with a reduced number of
hotel rooms was to illustrate the impact of the hotels and the Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) on the overall fiscal
performance of the various alternatives. As noted by the Client, the single hotel currently planned is a direct consequence
of City's decision to approve the construction of two new hotels, which total 300 rooms, in the Freeway Commercial SPA
Plan amendment. If this direct competition, as well as the two new hotels being located in the Eastlake Business Park,
were known at the time of Millenia's entitlement, then it is likely that no hotels, or perhaps a single smaller hotel would
have been included and theoretically modeled in the fiscal study. Another way to look at this is that the net fiscal revenue
associated with the hotel rooms were not lost, but rather transferred to another location in the City.
Consequently, due to the weight given to TOT in the City's current fiscal model as well as differences between the overall
development program, specifically the additional reduction of housing and retail development, comparisons between the
Proposed Amendment and either of the proposed plan scenarios are not appropriate. While still a different

development programs and assumptions regarding absorption, a comparison between the Proposed Amendment and
the 2009 Adopted Plan with Reduced Hotel is a more direct comparison.

Project Description
The Client is currently developing the Millenia project in the eastern portion of the City on vacant land located south of
Birch Road, west of the SR-125, north of Hunte Parkway, and east of Eastlake Parkway (“Project Site”). The Project Site
includes multiple parcels totaling approximately 145 net developable acres (Figure 4). Millenia will serve as a new urban
center for the Otay Ranch and eastern Chula Vista community. The area is planned to include a variety of land uses
including office, retail, hotel, and residential uses. Millenia will create an iconic urban village with a mixture of uses similar
to a downtown environment and is anticipated be denser relative to the City as a whole.

Figure 5 presents the land use program for the Proposed Amendment in comparison to the previously analyzed PFFP
development program. The development program analyzed in the EUC SPA FIA1 includes approximately 2 million square
feet of office, 160,000 square feet of civic uses, 815,000 square feet of retail, 165,000 square feet of residential fitness
center, 500 hotel rooms (two 250-room properties), and 2,983 medium to high density for-sale residential units. The
absorption schedule used in that FIA was expected to extend for over a 20 year build out during which the projects land
uses would intensify overtime, with early phase surface parking lots being replaced by taller buildings and structured
parking.

Development Program Absorption
The information provided has been provided by the Client and reflects the actual plans of their merchant builders, a
qualified real estate market research firm hired by the Client, consultations with local developers, as well as their own

1 Memorandum “Eastern Urban Center Fiscal” dated March 31, 2009.
Assessed Value
The capitalized value approach was used to estimate the market value of commercial properties. Pro Forma used an
average office lease rent of $2.60 (triple net or “NNN”) per month and a cap rate for a Class A office product (6.0 percent)
as reported for San Diego in the CBRE’s Capitalization Rate Survey for the second-half of 2015.2 The cap rate is applied
to the net operating income after reductions have been made for operating expenses and structural vacancy. As it
relates to the NNN rent structure, it is assumed that the development recovers the vast amount of expenses. The
capitalized value approach provided an assessed value of $400 per gross square foot of building area for the office
space.
A similar methodology was used to estimate the market value of the proposed retail development. Pro Forma used an
average retail lease rent of $3.00 NNN per month and $1.50 NNN per month for the small-format (neighborhood) retail
and large-format (community) retail, respectively. A 5.5 percent cap rate was used to estimate the value of both the
community and neighborhood retail after accounting for operating expenses and structural vacancy. The capitalized value
approach provided an assessed value of $532 and $266 per gross square foot of building area of the small-format and
large-format retail, respectively.
Currently, Chula Vista hotel accommodations have generally lower asking room rates than other submarkets in the larger
San Diego market area. However, existing accommodations options include primarily economy level limited service
hotels. The Client anticipates that the hotel developed at the Project Site will be of a higher quality and exceed the
average daily room rate of many of the existing properties in the City. Based on information provided within the City
model, PFA utilized a stabilized average daily rates of $154.87 with 77.1 percent occupancy. Using standard industry
operating margins and a current cap rate of approximate 7.5 percent, each hotel room is projected to have a value of
approximately $349,000 per room (key).
The for-sale residential assessed value was determined based on the average, unadjusted, sales price. For-rent
residential units’ assessed value was based on the assumed average asking rent along with the associated operating
costs for multi-family residential development. The current multi-family for rent cap rate in San Diego (4.75 recent) was
applied to estimate the total project value. In the FIA, for-sale residential were estimated to yield approximately $459,000
per unit while for-rent development was estimated to yield approximately $290,000 per unit.3

Maintenance Service Costs
Public Works and Recreation Expenditures
In 2014 the City Council adopted a resolution to establish a community facilities district (“CFD”) for Millenia, which
authorizes a special tax to fund all or a portion of the costs to maintain and service a variety of facilities including:
‣Street Frontage Maintenance
‣Park Maintenance
‣Bio-Retention Maintenance
‣Storm Water Maintenance
Maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the “furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual
maintenance, operation, and servicing” within the CFD. The CFD tax also includes “Administrative Expenses” that
represents the actual or estimated costs incurred by the City acting on behalf of the CFD area. As such, it is assumed
that the CFD will cover the some of the costs associated with the new road network and urban parks.
The following distributes the costs inputed into the “Maintenance Service Costs” tabs less the 20 percent “Admin/
Reserves” cost that is already included in the CFD for the park maintenance. Furthermore, the developer has formed a
Master Community association in Millenia which will take over maintenance of a number of items normally covered by the
City’s general fund including sidewalk maintenance, streetscape landscape maintenance and some lighting. As such, the
estimates using the City’s fiscal model may overstate some of the costs associated with the project.

ADDENDUM TO FINAL SECOND TIER EIR #07-01
(SCH #2007041074)
OTAY RANCH EASTERN URBAN CENTER SECTIONAL PLANNING
AREA PLAN
PROJECT NAME: Eastern Urban Center (EUC) Sectional Planning Area Plan
(referred to as the “Millenia” Plan)
PROJECT LOCATION: Properties within the EUC bounded by Birch Road on the
north, Eastlake Parkway on the east, Hunte Parkway on the
south, and State Route 125 on the west.
PROJECT APPLICANT: SLF IV – Millenia, LLC
DATE: June 19, 2018
I. BACKGROUND
Previous Approvals
On September 15, 2009, the Chula Vista City Council certified the Second-Tier Final
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and adopted the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for the
Eastern Urban Center (EUC) SPA Plan Project. The project involved the proposed development
of approximately 207 acres within the 237-acre Otay Ranch EUC in Chula Vista, California. The
EUC represents the planned extension of development within the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan (GDP) area. The EUC SPA Plan defines in more detailed terms, the
development parameters for the EUC, including land use mix, design criteria, primary circulation
pattern, and infrastructure requirements.
Since the SPA Plan was first approved in 2009, it has been amended four times in response to
changes in public and private influences and actual market experiences. For similar reasons, the
project applicant, SLF IV – Millenia, LLC, is proposing an amendment to the SPA Plan. The intent
of the proposed amendment is to update the adopted SPA Plan to revise the buildout assumptions
to reflect initial development levels and anticipated market realities, while ensuring that a degree
of flexibility is maintained such that the SPA Plan can be responsive to future market and social
and technological changes that will occur many years in the future, but are difficult or impossible
to predict at this time (2017).
Current Site Conditions
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the entire project site (i.e., the EUC SPA Plan Area) has
been mass graded in preparation for previously-approved development. In addition to grading,
75% of the planned roadways and utilities have been installed. Several of the planning areas
have been developed or are currently under construction, with vertical development having
commenced on more than 50% of the private development land. Figure 1 provides an aerial
2 June 19, 2018
overview of the graded site conditions as of 2016. In summary, the EUC (now known as “Millenia”)
is currently being implemented with almost a dozen projects completed, under construction,
approved, or in the Design Review phase of development. These projects include City parks, fire
station and pedestrian bridge, a hotel, office, retail, and affordable, rental, mixed-use and for-sale
residential, which represents virtually every land use type contemplated in the SPA Plan.
The proposed amendment to the SPA Plan includes changes to the statistics in the Site Utilization
Plan, design refinements to the Main Street District, and the addition of a 4-story height district.
Because the modifications to the SPA Plan would not result in any increase in allowable
residential units, non-residential development square footage, nor an expansion of the previously
evaluated development footprint, the proposed amendment is considered to be adequately
covered under FEIR #07-01 and no further analysis is warranted.
Mitigation measures from the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) associated
with Final EIR #07-01 are still valid and applicable to this project. The physical development of
the 207 acres has been previously addressed in the certified EIR. Thus, this Addendum is
focused on the proposed EUC SPA amendment as applicable to the remaining undeveloped
areas of the SPA Plan.
II. PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The purpose of this Addendum is to address the currently proposed project, which involves an
amendment to the currently adopted SPA Plan. An annotated version of the SPA Plan text, as
proposed to be amended is provided as Attachment A to this Addendum. The proposed
amendment includes the following primary elements:
1. Elimination of the target land use intensities and establish revised low and high land use
ranges allowing a maximum project buildout of 2,983 residential units and 3.324 million
square feet of commercial uses.
2. A revised Main Street concept focused on revisions to the quantity and distribution of
commercial land uses.
3. Reducing the five story minimum average height on six residential parcels to a four story
minimum average height.
4. To facilitate more comprehensive planning and to allow for more latitude in project design
and implementation of the main street concepts, the application also introduces the
concept of height blending between TM Lots 17 and 18 in the Main Street District and Lots
23 and 24 in the Central Southern Neighborhood District.
The proposed amendment also includes a supplemental Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP)
and updated fiscal study reflecting the revisions to the buildout assumptions.

III. CEQA REQUIREMENTS
Sections 15162 through 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines discuss a lead agency’s
responsibilities in handling new information that was not included in a project’s certified
environmental document. Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines provides:
(a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on
the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions
of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or
negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous
EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any
of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR or Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt
the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce or more
significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines provides that:
A. The lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some
changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section
15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
5 June 19, 2018
B. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or
attached to the final EIR.
C. The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR prior to
making a decision on the project.
D. A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to
Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s
required findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must
be supported by substantial evidence.
This Addendum has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Section 15162 and 15164 of
the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed changes to the project do not constitute a substantial
change to the previously approved project. The proposed modifications (i.e. SPA Amendment)
would not result in any environmental effects that were not considered in the previously certified
EIR, nor would the changes increase the severity of any of the impacts identified in the previously
certified EIR. The mitigation measures identified in the previously certified EIR would be equally
applicable to the project, as revised per the proposed SPA Amendment. Therefore, in accordance
with Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared this
addendum to the Final Second Tier EIR (EIR #07-01).
IV. ANALYSIS
The environmental analysis provided below supports a determination that approval and
implementation of the proposed project (i.e., SPA Amendment) would not result in any additional,
or more substantial, significant environmental effects beyond those previously analyzed under the
Final Second Tier EIR (EIR #07-01) for the previously approved project.
Land Use, Planning, and Zoning
The potential land use, planning, and zoning impacts associated with the approved project were
evaluated in Section 4.1 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR evaluated the SPA Plan’s: (1) conformance to, or conflict with, adopted plans,
policies, and regulations; and (2) effects on established communities. The Final EIR analysis
determined that construction and operational impacts of the approved project on the character of
the surrounding community and internally within the EUC, as well as conformance with existing
land use plans and policies, would be less than significant.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR. The proposed plan amendment involves changes to the buildout
assumptions as shown on the adopted Site Utilization Plan (Figure 2). As shown in Figure 3 and
Table 1, the proposed amendment would retain the maximum residential unit count of 2,983
residential units and reduce the target non-residential development uses from 3,487,000 square
feet to a maximum of 3,324,000 square feet. The proposed plan amendment would also establish
6 June 19, 2018
low buildout targets of 1.568 million square feet of commercial uses and 1,236 residential units.
Overall, should the project buildout with the maximum build of land uses, there would be a net
decrease of approximately 163,000 square feet in non-residential (i.e., commercial) uses, and the
same number of residential units as compared to the originally certified Final EIR.
Other proposed amendments to the land use plan include a revised Main Street concept focused
on revisions to the quantity and distribution of commercial land uses, reducing the five story
minimum average height on six residential parcels to a four story minimum average height, and,
in order to facilitate more comprehensive planning and to allow for more latitude in project design
and implementation of the main street concepts, the application also introduces the concept of
height blending between TM Lots 17 and 18 in the Main Street District and Lost 23 and 24 in the
Central Southern Neighborhood District. These plan amendments are in response to market
conditions, and do not create new significant land use impacts as compared to the originally
certified Final EIR.
As with the approved project, the proposed project would not result in a significant impact to
conformance to, or conflict with, adopted plans, policies, and regulations; and effects on
established communities. An amendment to the SPA Plan is proposed; however, the plan
amendment in and of itself does not create a significant physical impact to the environment not
otherwise addressed in the Final EIR #07-01. Although the overall target buildout density and
intensity are modified, the Plan Amendment does not involve rearranging the distribution of land
uses for the Eastern Urban Center Districts as established in the adopted SPA Plan. The
proposed plan amendment responds to changing market conditions, as is reflective of changes
to the land use patterns and concepts that have occurred in the surrounding vicinity of the project
site. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur beyond those
analyzed in the Final EIR.

Landform Alteration/Aesthetics
The potential landform alteration/aesthetics impacts associated with the approved project were
evaluated in Section 4.2 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would have a substantial adverse effect on
a scenic vista; substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic highway; substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings; be inconsistent with General
Plan, GDP or other objectives and policies regarding visual character thereby resulting in a
significant physical impact, or create a new source of substantial light or glare which would
adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would result in a potentially significant impact
associated with a scenic roadway. An 89-foot section of the EUC is located adjacent to Hunte
Parkway, a City-designated Scenic Roadway. Therefore, the Final EIR identified that a potentially
significant impact with respect to the City’s Scenic Roadway standards could occur along this
street section. With implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.2-1, which requires that future
development will enhance the scenic quality of the route, the potential impact related to scenic
roadways would be reduced to a less than significant level.
The Final EIR also identified that there is a potential for streets, structures, and public places to
be shadowed by adjacent building or buildings depending on climate, season, and building height
and mass. Because the potential impacts associated with shade/shadow and wind access cannot
be determined until the location, size, and orientation of future buildings are established, the Final
EIR identified that this impact would be potentially significant. However, with implementation of
Mitigation Measure 4.2-2, potential impacts regarding shadows and wind would be reduced to
below a level of significance. Mitigation Measure 4.2-2 requires the project applicant to prepare a
light, shadow, and wind pattern analysis for any structure eight stories and above prior to design
review approval.
The Final EIR also determined that the approved project would result in the degradation of the
existing visual quality and character of the site and its surroundings. However, no mitigation
measures are available to reduce the potentially significant impact of converting the EUC SPA
Plan site from undeveloped rolling hills to urbanized uses. Thus, impacts regarding the change to
the site’s visual character are concluded to be significant and unavoidable.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
As previously mentioned, the intent of the proposed SPA Plan amendment is to update the
adopted SPA Plan to reflect the initial phases of development and to respond to market changes,
while ensuring a degree of flexibility is maintained such that the SPA can still respond to future
market and lifestyle changes that are difficult or impossible to predict.
10 June 19, 2018
Since the original PC District Regulations & Design Guidelines were adopted, the retail market
and evolution of the “Main Street” type of development have changed due to systemic change in
the retail industry as well as local market forces. One of the risks in the “Main Street” is over-
building of retail which comes with the potential for vacant storefronts or underperforming, or
marginal retail uses. Such an outcome could stigmatize the larger project and would not achieve
the goal of providing an active, vibrant environment. The proposed amendment includes a revised
Main Street concept focused on revisions to the quantity and distribution of commercial land uses
to correctly size, and geographically distribute the commercial uses in the Main Street District to
create the intended character while avoiding the potential for vacant storefronts.
The proposed amendment also includes reducing the five story minimum average height on six
residential parcels to a four story minimum average height. Additionally, the permitted height
minimums are being adjusted in several of the districts to reflect more contemporary building
forms expected in those districts. To facilitate more comprehensive planning and to allow for more
latitude in project design and implementation of the main street concepts, the application also
introduces the concept of height blending between TM Lots 17 and 18 in the Main Street District
and Lots 23 and 24 in the Central Southern Neighborhood District.
The overall aesthetic nature of the EUC SPA Plan Area would not be substantially different than
the original project analyzed in the Final EIR. The SPA area has been mass graded, and any
additional development would occur on grading pads where the previous land form has already
been altered, and there would be no increase in building intensity, density or height over that
allowed in the currently adopted SPA Plan. Compliance with all applicable rules and regulations
governing aesthetics as well as all mitigation measures outlined in Section 4.2 of the Final EIR
would ensure that no additional impacts to landform/aesthetics beyond those previously analyzed
in the Final EIR would occur as a result of the proposed project.
Transportation
The potential transportation impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated in
Section 4.3 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would cause an increase in traffic which is
substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system; exceed, either
individually or cumulatively, a LOS standard established by the County CMP agency for
designated roads or highways; or conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting
alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks).
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would cause an increase in traffic which is
substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. The approved
project would result in potentially significant impacts to intersections, roadway segments, freeway
segments, and project boundary intersections in the Traffic Study Area. With implementation of
Mitigation Measures 4.3-1 through 4.3-9, potentially significant impacts to study area intersections
and roadway segments would be reduced to a less than significant level. With implementation of
Mitigation Measures 4.3-10 and 4.3-11, potentially significant impacts to project boundary
11 June 19, 2018
intersections would be reduced to a less than significant level. Because no specific improvements
have been identified to mitigate the project’s cumulative impacts along freeways; impacts would
remain significant and unavoidable.
The approved project would also have a potentially significant impact with respect to consistency
with the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) thresholds. The project’s consistency with the
PFFP is dependent on several variables (i.e., timing and responsibility) that are out of the control
of the project. With implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.3-12 through 4.3-14, the timing of
improvements would be consistent with the PFFP.
The approved project was found to be consistent with General Plan and GDP policies regarding
alternative transportation. However, significant delays along Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes due
to stop controlled intersections could occur. Mitigation Measure 4.3-15 would facilitate the
elimination of potential conflicts pertaining to the implementation of BRT service in the future by
SANDAG through the EUC.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project (proposed SPA Amendment) would not expand or increase the
development footprint as previously evaluated in the EIR. The proposed plan amendment involves
changes to the statistics on the Site Utilization Plan.
As shown in Table 1, the proposed amendment would maintain the maximum development level
of 2,983 residential units and reduce the maximum non-residential development uses from
3,487,000 square feet to a maximum of 3,324,000 square feet. Overall, there would be a net
decrease of approximately 163,000 square feet in non-residential (i.e., commercial) uses, and the
same number of residential units as compared to the originally certified Final EIR.
The decrease in target commercial square footage would, in turn, result in the generation of less
vehicular trips. Because the proposed project would generate fewer trips (both daily and during
the peak hours) than the approved project and the trip distribution patterns would remain the same
as those studied in the Final EIR, it can be concluded that the proposed project would add fewer
trips to the surrounding transportation network, including all study area roadways, intersections,
and freeways. Fewer project trips to a roadway, an intersection, or a freeway indicate less or
equal potential traffic impacts. As a result, the approved project represents a worst-case scenario
and no new or more substantial significant traffic impacts would occur beyond those identified in
the Final EIR. Further, the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR remain applicable and
no new mitigation measures would be required. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial
impacts would occur beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
12 June 19, 2018
The proposed SPA Amendment would also have a potentially significant impact with respect to
consistency with the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) thresholds as the approved project.
The project’s consistency with the PFFP is dependent on several variables (i.e., timing and
responsibility) that are out of the control of the project. With implementation of Mitigation
Measures 4.3-12 through 4.3-14, the timing of improvements would be consistent with the PFFP.
Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur beyond those analyzed in
the Final EIR.
The approved project was found to be consistent with General Plan and GDP policies regarding
alternative transportation. However, as identified in the Final EIR for the approved project,
significant delays along Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes due to stop controlled intersections could
occur. The proposed project would reduce the overall vehicular trip generation within the EUC
SPA, as a result of an overall decrease in non-residential square footage. As a result, the
approved project represents a worst-case scenario and no new or more substantial significant
traffic impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final EIR. Further, the mitigation
measures identified in the Final EIR remain applicable and no new mitigation measures would be
required. Specifically, as it relates to potential impacts to BRT, Mitigation Measure 4.3-15 would
eliminate potential conflicts pertaining to BRT service through the EUC, and the applicant will
comply with this mitigation measure as applicable, for the remaining development areas of the
EUC under the plan amendment. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts
would occur beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Air Quality
The potential air quality impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated in Section
4.4 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would conflict with or obstruct
implementation of the applicable air quality plan or General Plan policies; violate any air quality
standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation; result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors); expose sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; or create objectionable odors affecting a
substantial number of people.
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would result in potentially significant air quality
impacts associated with a conflict with the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) (1992). This
impact would remain significant and unmitigated. The RAQS is based on the General Plan that
was in effect when the RAQS were adopted in 1992 and updated through 2001. It is not consistent
with the current GPU that was adopted in December 2005. Although SANDAG is currently
updating the RAQS, the proposed land uses for the EUC SPA would conflict with the currently
approved RAQS.
13 June 19, 2018
The approved project was also determined to exceed air quality standards. During construction,
the approved project would exceed the regional significance thresholds for PM10, PM2.5, CO, NOx,
and VOC. Even with implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.4-1, the approved project would still
exceed the regional significance thresholds. As such, project construction would continue to
result in a significant, although temporary, regional impact with incorporation of all feasible
mitigation measures.
During the operational phase, the approved project would result in NOx, CO, VOC, PM10 and
PM2.5 emissions that would exceed applicable thresholds. The approved project would also result
in a cumulatively significant long-term contribution to regional PM10, PM2.5, and ozone levels as a
result of projected emissions of NOx and ROG. Even with implementation of Mitigation Measures
4.4-2 and 4.4-3, the project would result in regional emissions that exceed the applicable
thresholds for NOx, CO, VOC, PM10 and PM2.5. Therefore, the approved project would result in
significant and unavoidable impacts during the operational phase.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR. The proposed plan amendment involves changes to the statistics on the
Site Utilization Plan. However, the proposed amendment would reduce the maximum
development level by approximately 163,000 square feet. Due to the reduction in total
development, the construction duration would be shortened and project-generated traffic trips
would be reduced compared to the approved project. This would reduce construction and
operational emissions (specifically mobile sources) compared to the approved project.
While emissions would be slightly reduced under the proposed project, the impacts and
associated mitigation measures identified in the previously-certified Final EIR remain applicable
to the proposed project. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur
beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Noise
The potential noise impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated in Section 4.5
of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would result in a substantial temporary or
periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the
project; expose persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
Chula Vista General Plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies; result in
a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project; expose persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration
or groundborne noise levels; or be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP or other objectives and
policies regarding noise thereby resulting in a significant physical impact.
14 June 19, 2018
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would result in potentially significant noise
impacts associated with traffic-generated noise; exceedance of the City’s 65 CNEL exterior
residential standard for land use compatibility; on-site stationary sources (roof-top HVAC
equipment and the fire station emergency generator); and, outdoor noise generated by schools
and parks, including sports activities. However, with implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.5-
1 through 4.5-7, potential noise impacts would be reduced to below a level of significance.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR, nor are any land use changes proposed within each of the SPA Districts.
The proposed plan amendment involves changes to the statistics on the Site Utilization Plan. The
proposed amendment would reduce the maximum development level by approximately 163,000
square feet.
Due to the reduction in total development, project-generated traffic trips would be reduced
compared to the approved project, and in turn, would minimize noise impacts associated with
future traffic.
Furthermore, the proposed project would not substantially change the noise-producing activities
or land uses beyond those previously analyzed in the Final EIR. Compliance with all applicable
rules and regulations governing noise as well as all mitigation measures outlined in Section 4.5
of the Final EIR would ensure that no additional impacts to noise beyond those previously
analyzed would occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, no new significant, or more
substantial impacts would occur beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Cultural Resources
The potential cultural resources impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated in
Section 4.6 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would cause a substantial adverse change
in the significance of a historical resource as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5; cause
a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource as defined in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5; directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource
or site or unique geologic feature; or disturb any human remains, including those interred outside
of formal cemeteries; or be inconsistent with General Plan cultural and paleontological policies
thereby resulting in a significant physical impact.
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would not result in a significant impact on
known archaeological resources, but could result in significant impacts to archaeological
resources that may be uncovered during clearing and grading. The geological formations
underlying the EUC SPA Plan Area have a high sensitivity for paleontological resources.
Therefore, grading activities have the potential to result in significant impacts to paleontological
resources.
15 June 19, 2018
The approved project was also determined to have the potential to uncover human remains during
site preparation. With implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.6-1 through 4.6-9, potential
impacts to cultural and paleontological resources and human remains would be reduced to below
a level of significance.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the entire EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded, 75
percent of the planned roadways and utilities have been installed, and vertical development has
commenced on more than 50% of the private development land. Pursuant to the project’s MMRP,
mitigation measures identified for cultural resources (Mitigation Measures 4.6-1 through 4.6-9)
were implemented during the prior mass grading activities. The proposed project would not
expand or increase the development footprint as previously evaluated in the EIR. No additional
cultural resources impacts would occur and the conclusions identified in the previously-certified
Final EIR remain accurate. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would
occur beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Biological Resources
The potential biological resources impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated
in Section 4.7 of the EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would have a substantial adverse effect,
either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive,
or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Wildlife Service; have a substantial adverse effect on any
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies,
regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service;
have a substantial adverse effect on Federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct
removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means; interfere substantially with the
movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native
resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites; conflict
with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation
policy or ordinance; or, conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat
conservation plan.
As identified in the Final EIR, no sensitive plant species, sensitive plant communities, or wetlands
occur within the EUC SPA Plan Area. The EUC SPA Plan Area is not within a regional wildlife
corridor and would not impact regional wildlife movement. As described in the Final EIR, the
approved project (specifically within the EUC SPA Plan Area) would have the following substantial
adverse effect, both directly and through habitat modifications, on sensitive wildlife species:
Ground nesting raptor species, including the northern harrier and burrowing owl.
16 June 19, 2018
The northern harrier, burrowing owl, white-tailed kite, and San Diego black-tailed
jackrabbit would be impacted by the loss of agricultural lands utilized as foraging habitat.
The approved project was also determined to have the potential to impact nesting bird species
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code. With
implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.7-1 through 4.7-13, potential impacts to biological
resources would be reduced to below a level of significance.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded and
prepared in anticipation of planned development. As such, the project site does not contain any
natural vegetation or sensitive biological habitats; riparian, aquatic or wetland habitat; or federally
protected wetlands. Pursuant to the project’s MMRP, mitigation measures identified for biological
resources (Mitigation Measures 4.7-1 through 4.7-13) were implemented during the prior mass
grading activities. The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint
as previously evaluated in the EIR. No additional biological resources impacts would occur and
the conclusions identified in the previously-certified Final EIR remain accurate and applicable to
the proposed project. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur
beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Agricultural Resources
The potential agricultural resources impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated
in Section 4.8 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would convert Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
FMMP of the California Resources Agency, to nonagricultural use; and/or involves other changes
in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
farmland to nonagricultural use; or conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson
Act contract. In addition, impacts to agricultural resources would be significant if the proposed
project would be inconsistent with General Plan agricultural resource policies thereby resulting in
a significant physical impact.
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would have no impacts to Williamson Act
contract lands or conflict with existing zoning for an agricultural use. As analyzed in the EIR,
development of the EUC SPA Plan would result in a significant impact to agricultural resources,
due to the on-site loss of approximately 207 acres of Farmland of Local Importance.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.8-1 would reduce potentially significant, short-term
impacts caused by adjacency of agricultural uses and urban uses to a less than significant level.
However, the incremental and cumulative loss of agricultural lands (Farmland of Local
Importance), which was considered a significant impact in the Otay Ranch GDP Program EIR,
remains significant, and no mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a
level of significance.
17 June 19, 2018
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded and
prepared in anticipation of planned development. The proposed project would not expand or
increase the development footprint as previously evaluated in the EIR. No additional agricultural
resources impacts would occur and the conclusions identified in the previously-certified Final EIR
remain accurate. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur beyond
those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Hydrology and Water Quality
The potential hydrology and water quality impacts associated with the construction and operation
of the approved project were evaluated in Section 4.9 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would result in an increase in pollutant
discharges to receiving waters Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume
or a lowering of the local groundwater table level; substantially alter the existing drainage pattern
of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner,
which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site or City of Chula Vista
Engineering Standards for storm water flows and volumes; substantially alter the existing
drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or
river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result
in flooding on- or off-site, or place structures within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on
a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation
map which would impede or redirect flood flows; create or contribute runoff water, which would
exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff; or be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP or other
objectives and policies regarding water quality thereby resulting in a significant physical impact.
As discussed in the Final EIR, the approved project would require mass grading; therefore, there
is potential degradation of water quality as a result of erosion of exposed soils. The approved
project would introduce human occupation, land uses, or vehicles that have the potential to
introduce pollutants during operation and potentially impact surface and ground water quality. In
addition, the approved project would require the development of streets and other impermeable
surfaces that would increase surface water runoff and cause potentially significant off-site erosion
to downstream facilities. The EIR determined that the approved project’s potentially significant
impact with respect to water quality standards and drainage (erosion/flooding), and runoff water
would be reduced to less than significant through the enforcement of existing state and federal
regulatory standards and proposed mitigation measures. Also, the approved project would
implement a program to bury existing soil contaminants or provide a Stormwater Prevention
Pollution Plan (SWPPP) to address drainage from existing stockpiled soils (undocumented fill,
construction material, and construction debris). With implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.9-
1 through 4.9-10, potential impacts to hydrology and water quality would be reduced to below a
level of significance.
18 June 19, 2018
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded and
prepared in anticipation of planned development. The proposed project has obtained coverage
and will continue to comply with all applicable rules and regulations including compliance with the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements for urban runoff and
stormwater discharge BMPs for design, treatment, and monitoring for stromwater quality would
be implemented as delineated in the Final EIR with respect to municipal and construction permits.
Compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing water quality as well as all
mitigation measures outlined in Section 4.9 of the Final EIR would ensure that no additional
impacts to water quality beyond those previously analyzed would occur as a result of the proposed
project. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur beyond those
analyzed in the Final EIR.
Geology and Soils
The potential geology, soils, and seismicity impacts associated with the approved project were
evaluated in Section 4.10 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would expose people or structures to
potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: rupture
of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault
Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of
a known fault. (refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42); strong seismic
ground shaking; seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction; and/or landslides; result in
substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil; be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable,
or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse; or be located on expansive soil,
as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life
or property; or be inconsistent with General Plan geotechnical policies thereby resulting in a
significant physical impact.
The Final EIR determined that the approved project would have potentially significant impacts
associated with unstable soils, soil erosion and/or loss of topsoil, landslides, lateral spreading,
liquefaction and/or collapse, and expansive soils. However, with implementation of Mitigation
Measures 4.10-1 through 4.10-3, all potentially significant geology and soils impacts would be
reduced to a less than significant level.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the entire EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded and
prepared in anticipation of planned development. Pursuant to the project’s MMRP, Mitigation
Measure 4.10-1 identified for geology and soils was implemented during the prior mass grading
activities. Final EIR Mitigation Measure 4.10-2 addressed the off-site stockpile grading alternative.
19 June 19, 2018
The off-site stockpile grading alternative was not implemented and therefore compliance with
Mitigation Measure 4.10-2 was not required.
Final EIR Mitigation Measure 4.10-3 requires that the City shall ensure that the applicable
recommendations in the Geotechnical Investigation for the Proposed Salt Creek Gravity Sewer
Interceptor Project, Leighton & Associates, dated October 2000, have been incorporated into the
project to the satisfaction of the City Engineer of the City of Chula Vista. The requirement for this
mitigation measure has not been triggered as part of development activities to date; however, the
applicant will comply with this measure at the time it is required (i.e., Salt Creek Gravity Sewer
Interceptor Improvements).
There have been no changes to the geological or seismic environment or changes to the
characteristics of the project as evaluated in the EIR that would affect these resources. The
proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously evaluated
in the EIR. No additional geology and soils impacts would occur and the conclusions identified in
the previously-certified Final EIR remain accurate. Therefore, no new significant, or more
substantial impacts would occur beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Public Services and Utilities
The potential public services and utilities impacts associated with the approved project were
evaluated in Section 4.11 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would result in a substantial adverse
physical impact associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities,
need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times,
or other performance objectives for fire protection and emergency services; reduce the ability of
properly equipped and staffed fire and medical units to respond to calls throughout the City within
seven minutes in 80 percent of the cases; be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other
objectives and policies regarding fire protection and emergency medical services thereby
resulting in a significant physical impact.
The Final EIR concluded that all impacts to fire services; police services; schools; library services;
parks, recreation, open space and trails; water; wastewater; and solid waste would be reduced to
below a level of significance with implementation of mitigation measures, payment of Public
Facility Development Impact Fees or compliance with the project Development or Parks
Agreements.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR. The proposed plan amendment involves changes to the statistics on the
Site Utilization Plan. The proposed amendment would reduce the maximum development level
by approximately 163,000 square feet. Due to the reduction in total development, project-related
20 June 19, 2018
demand for public services and utilities would be reduced compared to the approved project.
Compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing public services and utilities as well
as all mitigation measures outlined in Section 4.11 of the Final EIR would ensure that no additional
impacts to public services and utilities beyond those previously analyzed would occur as a result
of the proposed project. Therefore, no new significant, or more substantial impacts would occur
beyond those analyzed in the Final EIR.
Hazards/Risk of Upset
The potential hazards and hazardous materials impacts associated with the approved project
were evaluated in Section 4.12 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would be located on a site that is included
on a list of hazardous materials sites, creates a significant hazard to the public or the
environment; creates a significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine
transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials; creates a significant hazard to the public or the
environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release
of hazardous materials into the environment; emits hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or
acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or
proposed school; is located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport and would result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area; is located within the vicinity of a private
airstrip and would result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area;
impairs implementation of or physically interferes with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan; exposes people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury, or
death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas, increase
in urbanization would result in an increase in the uses, transport, storage, and disposal of
hazardous waste materials and an associated increase in the risk of an upset condition in the
area; and historic use of pesticides which would result in soil contamination and health effects or
be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and policies regarding hazards
thereby resulting in a significant physical impact.
As described in the Final EIR, potentially significant impacts could result from the exposure of
construction workers and the public to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) occurring in soils in
Areas A, B, and C of the EUC. Exposure may result from any OCP-containing soils that would be
released or become airborne during excavation, be left uncovered on-site, or exported off-site.
The EUC SPA Plan includes an approximately 6-acre elementary school site. The presence of
organic toxins and gases at the future school site may exceed the Chula Vista Elementary School
District and state standards for public schools. If weeds or brush are allowed to develop in vacant
areas of the EUC adjacent to occupied development, a potentially significant fire impact could
occur.
In addition, hazards associated with the poor visibility of tall structures under construction or
rooftop cranes may contribute to an airport-related hazard, due to the proximity of Brown Field
and aircraft over flight of the EUC under visual flight rules or circle-to-land procedures. Also, as
21 June 19, 2018
buildings, rooftop cranes and other temporary construction equipment in the EUC may exceed
170 feet in height, these structures would be approximately 270 feet higher than the Brown Field
runway elevation. This may present an aircraft safety hazard.
The Final EIR determined that compliance with existing ordinances, in combination with Mitigation
Measures 4.12-1 through 4.12-6, would reduce potentially significant impacts associated with
hazards and risks to less than significant.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
Since the certification of the Final EIR, the EUC SPA Plan Area has been mass-graded and
prepared in anticipation of planned development. Pursuant to the project’s MMRP, Mitigation
Measures 4.12-1 and 4.12-2 were implemented during the prior mass grading activities. Mitigation
Measure 4.12-1 required that grading within Areas A, B, and C of the EUC be managed in
accordance with the remediation measures included in the Organic Pesticide Assessment and
Soil Reuse Plan (prepared by Geocon dated June 5, 2007, revised October 4, 2007). Mitigation
Measure 4.12-2 required the project applicant to implement Best Management Practices in Areas
A, B, and C of the EUC during excavation and placement of soil from the upper two feet of existing
grade, so that dust, erosion, excessive pooling, and stormwater runoff would not pose a problem
at the site to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Documentation of compliance was provided to
the City in the form of as-graded reports.
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR. Compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing hazards and
hazardous materials as well as mitigation measures outlined in Section 4.12 of the Final EIR
would ensure that no additional impacts to hazards or hazardous materials beyond those
previously analyzed would occur as a result of the proposed project. Since the proposed project
is in the same location as the approved project, compliance with Mitigation Measure 4.12-4 (FAA
notification) will be required in order to reduce airport-related hazards due to proximity to Brown
Field. The proposed project will also be required to implement Mitigation Measures 4.12-3 (post
information regarding households hazard waste collection within each residential unit), 4.12-5
(brush and weed control) and 4.12-6 (fire station design compliance with applicable fuel storage
and containment regulations).
No additional hazards or hazardous materials impacts would occur and the conclusions and
mitigation measures identified in the previously-certified Final EIR remain accurate and applicable
to the proposed project.
Housing and Population
The potential housing and population impacts associated with the approved project were
evaluated in Section 4.13 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would induce substantial population growth
in an area, either directly (i.e., by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (i.e., through
extension of roads or other infrastructure); displace substantial numbers of existing housing or
22 June 19, 2018
people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere, or be inconsistent with
General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and policies regarding housing and population thereby
resulting in a significant physical impact.
The Final EIR concluded that the approved project’s maximum development level (2,983
residential units) would not induce substantial population growth in the area beyond that already
planned under the Otay Ranch GDP and Chula Vista General Plan. With the development of
2,983 multi-family residential units, the approved project is expected to generate a population of
7,696 under a 2.58 household coefficient set forth in the Otay Ranch GDP. This population growth
would not exceed forecasted growth in the Otay Ranch GDP, or in the General Plan’s East
Planning Area, both of which are based on a development cap in the GDP of 2,983 residential
units. In addition, the Final EIR determined that the approved project would not displace any
existing households or people.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed EUC SPA amendment involves changes to the statistics on the Site Utilization
Plan. As shown in Table 1, the proposed amendment would maintain the maximum residential
development of 2,983 residential units. This number of dwelling units is the same as the
development cap in the GDP of 2,983 residential units. Therefore, the proposed project would
not induce substantial population growth in the area beyond that already planned under the Otay
Ranch GDP and Chula Vista General Plan. There would be no new impact, or increase in the
severity of an impact related to population and housing, and the conclusions identified in the Final
EIR remain accurate.
Global Climate Change
The potential global climate change impacts associated with the approved project were evaluated
in Section 4.14 of the Final EIR.
Final EIR Conclusions
The Final EIR analyzed whether the approved project would conflict with or obstruct goals or
strategies of the California Global Solutions Act of 2006 (AB32) or related Executive Orders and/or
whether the project result in substantially increased exposure of the project from the potential
adverse effects of global warming identified in the California Global Warming Solutions Act of
2006 (AB32).
The Final EIR concluded that the approved project would not result in significant global climate
change impacts. The Final EIR determined that by incorporating project features (i.e., land use
and community design, transit facilities, energy efficiency, and water efficiency) contained in the
EUC SPA Plan’s Sustainability Element, the approved project would result in greenhouse gas
(GHG) emission rates 31 percent lower than “business as usual.” Because these project features
would reduce project GHG emissions and are consistent with the State’s Climate Action Team
strategies, the approved project would not conflict with or obstruct the State’s goals regarding
global climate change and impacts in this regard would be less than significant. Regarding GHG
emissions from construction activities, construction of the proposed project would incorporate
23 June 19, 2018
construction “best practices,” that would reduce GHG emissions. These “best practices” represent
an improvement above conventional construction practices, and thus are an improvement above
“business as usual.” Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Analysis of the Proposed SPA Plan Amendment
The proposed project would not expand or increase the development footprint as previously
evaluated in the EIR. The proposed plan amendment involves changes to the statistics on the
Site Utilization Plan. The proposed amendment would reduce the maximum development level
by approximately 163,000 square feet. Due to the reduction in total development and average
daily trips compared to the approved project, energy usage and water demand would be reduced
under the proposed project. Therefore, GHG emissions would be reduced under the proposed
project. The GHG reducing project features contained in the EUC SPA Plan’s Sustainability
Element would still be applicable to the proposed project. No additional global climate change
impacts would occur and the conclusions and mitigation measures identified in the previously-
certified Final EIR remain accurate and applicable to the proposed project.
V. CONCLUSION
Based on the findings and information contained in the previously-certified EIR, the analysis
above, the CEQA statute and State CEQA Guidelines, including Sections 15164 and 15162, the
proposed modifications will not result in any new, increased, or substantially different impacts,
other than those previously considered and addressed in the Project EIR. The proposed project
will result in only minor technical changes or additions which are necessary to make the
Environmental Impact Report adequate under CEQA. No changes or additions to the previously-
certified EIR analyses are necessary, nor is there a need for any additional mitigation measures.
Therefore, a Supplemental EIR is not required. This Addendum to the EIR is the appropriate
environmental documentation for the proposed modifications to the project.

TITLE
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADOPTING THE AGE-FRIENDLY CHULA
VISTA ACTION PLAN
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
In July 2016, the City of Chula Vista became the 99th jurisdiction in the United States to enter the American
Association of Retired Persons’ (AARPs’) Age-Friendly Communities Network through authorization by City
Council on May 10, 2016, Resolution No. 2016-068. The Network is an affiliate of the World Health
Organization (WHO) Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Program, an international effort launched in 2006
to help cities prepare for rapid population aging and the parallel trend of urbanization.
In Chula Vista, we have recognized the need to address public health issues through strategic policy,
programs, and partnerships by adopting the Heathy Chula Vista Action Plan in January 2016, but we also
recognize that the looming shift in the older adult population could present new and greater public health
challenges. Tonight’s action is a culmination of two years of public outreach and data gathering and will
adopt the City’s first Age-Friendly Action Plan to identify implementation measures for the next three years
to ensure Chula Vista remains a “Livable Community” for all generations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act
State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is
required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On July 9, 2018, the Joint Task Force for the Age-Friendly Plan, the Commission on Aging and Healthy Chula
Vista Advisory Commission, will meet and provide an advisory recommendation to City Council on adopting
the Action Plan. A report of their recommendation will be provided at the City Council meeting.
P a g e | 2
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista has recognized the need to address public health issues through policy, programs,and
partnerships for over ten years and has been increasing healthy lifestyles for residents through smoking
prohibitions, healthier vending options at city facilities, and access to healthy food and increased physical
activity opportunities in underserved areas. On January 5, 2016, the City Council adopted the first “Healthy
Chula Vista Action Plan” (“HCVAP”) to formalize strategies to increase overall wellness of residents.
While the Healthy Chula Vista efforts focus on many areas of livability, the City recognized a looming shift in
the older adult population could present new and greater public health challenges. Specifically, according to
SANDAG Population Estimates, the City is expected to see a doubling (from 16% to 32%)of those age 55 and
over by 2050 and over a 200% increase of those adults over the age of 85. While the older adult population
is expected to increase, the City is seeing a plateauing of adults and children, with negative growth in the
college age population.
It was for these reasons that Council authorized staff to initiate entering the AARP Age-Friendly Communities
Network in May 2016. By looking through the “lens of older adults” the Age-Friendly network provides a
platform and five-year process to talk about, set goals, and develop implementation measures to address
questions we may not have been previously asking.
Planning Phase (Years 1-2)
Over the past two years City staff has collaborated internally, with outside agencies both locally and
regionally and engaged over 1,500 residents in the community to collect and analyze baseline data vital to
the development of the plan. Highlights of the engagement opportunities included:
Community Cafes -Listening sessions provided residents with a structured but open forum to discuss
topics important to them. Nine Community Cafes were held, many bilingually, at Norman Park Senior
Center, Residential Care Facilities, Affordable Housing complexes, Mobilehome Parks, in the Castle
Park Promise Neighborhood, and an intergenerational session at High Tech High.
AARP Phone Survey - In Fall 2016, AARP commissioned a telephone survey to assess public opinion
about age friendly and livable community topics in Chula Vista reaching over 500 residents age 45
and over.
Age-Friendly Expert Chat - On January 25, 2018, over ninety (90) stakeholders gathered at City Hall
to hear an overview of the planning efforts for the first year and provided breakout groups in each of
the domains of livability to develop strategies to address barriers and gaps.
Age-Friendly Community Chat (District Roundtables) - During the months of February and March
2018, over fifty (50) participants at community roundtables helped develop strategies for a
successful age friendly community in the three or four (time dependent) domains that they felt were
most important in their District.
Engaging Youth - In addition to holding events at High Tech High, Chula Vista High School hosted
several workshops related to mental health and healthy food access over the past two years. To
engage younger children, in 2017 Age-Friendly Chula Vista hosted a booth at the annual Day of the
Child event and gathered data in the eight domains of livability from a child’s perspective. Just this
P a g e | 3
May, over one hundred (100) students participated in the “My Future Community” Drawing Contest
from preschool to sixth grade. Eight students, one from each grade, were selected to have their
drawing featured in the Age-Friendly Action Plan.
The “Chula Vista: Creating an Age-Friendly City, Age-Friendly Action Plan” is a true collaboration with the
community and stakeholders that participated in the process. The draft was made available for public review
from May 15 - June 15, 2018 and input has been incorporated into the final document before you tonight.
Action Plan (End of Year 2)
The Age-Friendly process identifies “8 Domains of Livability” that have been found to be the basis for forming
more livable and age-friendly communities. The domains closely mirror the seven theme areas in the HCVAP.
Through engagement it became clear that there was great overlap between the domains of Respect &
Inclusion and Social Participation and that it was necessary to add another domain: Healthy Food Access &
Nutrition.
The Action Plan is organized by domain to identify a vision- outlining what we aspire to become; what we
know - an overview of existing conditions; what we heard - community feedback; and what we will do -steps
to respond those high areas of priority by identifying goals and actions steps. A summary of the Chula Vista

Implementation and Evaluation (Years 3-5)
To ensure the Action Plan strategies are implemented, a Joint Age-Friendly Task Force (“Task Force”) was
formed consisting of two existing commissions at the City whose missions are to address issues affecting
older adults and public health, the Commission on Aging and Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission,
respectively. On April 14, 2018,the Task Force met for the first time. These commissions will meet annually
to review the overall implementation of the plan and as needed for specific goal and action advancement.
In addition to the Task Force, the City is entering an Memorandum of Understanding with San Diego State
University’s Social Policy Institute to partner on implementing action steps within the plan. The partnership
will work with other community stakeholders and seek grant opportunities to help implement and evaluate
strategies within the plan.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not
applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict
of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community,
Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This item supports Section 3.1.1 -
Implement policies and programs that support a healthy community.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Staff costs associated with the preparation of this staff report and for the Age-Friendly Action Plan
development are offset by grant funds through the San Diego Foundation.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The implementation of the Age-Friendly Action Plan and Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan and the associated
work have been historically directed by grant funding. Staff is actively seeking opportunities through a
partnership with San Diego State University to expand and accelerate the implementation stage.

Executive Summary
Chula Vista’s Age-Friendly Journey
In July 2016 the City of Chula Vista
became the 99th jurisdiction in the
United States to enter the American
Association of Retired Persons’ (AARP’s)
Age-Friendly Communities Network
through authorization by City Council on
May 10, 2016, Resolution No. 2016-068.
While the City has been engaged in
public health policy, programs and
partnerships through the Healthy Chula
Vista Initiative, the City recognized a
looming shift in the older adult population
could present new and greater public
health challenges.
Specifically, the City is expected to see a doubling (from 16% to 32%) of those age 55 and over
by 2050 and over a 200% increase of those adults over the age of 85. While the older adult
population is expected to increase, the City is seeing a plateauing of adults and children, with
negative growth in the college-age population. The five-year process of the Age-Friendly effort
provided the structure to allow discussion, analysis and the platform to begin looking at the
City’s livability through a ‘lens of age’.
Planning
The first two years have provided the opportunity to directly engage over 1,500 individuals in the
Age-Friendly efforts and reach thousands more, planting the seed to look at age as a
consideration in their daily work and interactions. Youth, teens, college students, working
adults, families and older adults that live, work, play and pray throughout the City of Chula Vista
were all engaged in the process. Residents and stakeholders guided the development of the
Age-Friendly Action Plan Process

Community Profile
The City of Chula Vista is located in Southern California in one of the richest cultural, economic
and environmentally diverse zones in the United States. Located just 7 miles south of downtown
San Diego and 7 miles north of the Mexican border, it is the second-largest City in San Diego
County with roughly 41,000 people over the age of 50; and a total population of 267,503
residents as of January 1, 2018.1,2
Chula Vista means “beautiful view” and has more
than 52 square miles of coastal landscape,
canyons, rolling hills, mountains, quality parks,
and miles of trails. The City is a leader in
conservation and renewable energy, provides
outstanding public schools, and has been named
one of the safest and happiest cities in the
country. 3
Great year-round weather, with a 72°F - 55°F
average daily temperature in a mild Mediterranean
climate attracts runners, hikers, cyclists, bird
watchers, concert goers and outdoors enthusiasts
from the bay to lakes. 4
Attractions along the City’s Bayfront include the
Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge,
Living Coast
Discovery
Center,
Chula Vista
Marina & Yacht Club, and Bayshore Bikeway. In the
eastern portion of the city, Aquatica Water Park, the Chula
Vista Elite Athlete Center (formerly a U.S. Olympic
Training Center) and the City’s MattressFirm Amphitheatre
provide destinations in addition to hundreds of miles of
hiking and cycling trails. 5
Established neighborhoods, cultural diversity,
contemporary communities, start-up firms, corporations
and a historic downtown all contribute to Chula Vista’s
attraction for both families and businesses. To learn more

Introduction to the Plan
As a result of changing demographics and concerns about the readiness of communities to
serve the growing population of older adults (one-in-five individuals is anticipated to be 65+
across the country by 2030), the World Health Organization (WHO) and American Association
of Retired Persons (AARP) have partnered to create a Network of Age-Friendly Communities
across the nation.6
But, what does it mean to be an Age-Friendly Community?
The WHO says, “An Age-Friendly world enables people of all ages to actively participate in
community activities and treats everyone with respect, regardless of their age. It is a place that
makes it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are important to them. And it
helps people stay healthy and active even at the oldest ages and provides appropriate support
to those who can no longer look after themselves.”7 Acceptance into the Age-Friendly
Communities network means a community's elected leadership is committed to actively work
toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages.
Chula Vista’s Age-Friendly Journey
The City of Chula Vista has recognized the need to address public health issues through policy,
programs, and partnerships for over ten years and has been increasing healthy lifestyles for
residents through smoking prohibitions, healthier vending options at city facilities, and access to
healthy food and increased physical activity opportunities in underserved areas. In 2013, the
City Council adopted a Strategic Plan which
included five key goals, one of which being
“Healthy Community” and on January 5, 2016,
the City Council adopted the first ‘Healthy Chula
Vista Action Plan’ (“HCVAP”) to formalize
strategies through policy, programs, and
partnership to increase overall wellness of
residents. The HCVAP identifies seven areas of
focus, which closely mirror the ‘Age-Friendly
Domains of Livability’: Engagement, Land Use,
Transportation, Environmental Quality, Healthy
Food Access, Physical Activity and Health Care
& Prevention.
While the Healthy Chula Vista efforts focus on
many areas of livability, the City recognized a
looming shift in the older adult population could
present new and greater public health
challenges and voters within the City were
identifying senior needs as a high priority.

Specifically, the City
is expected to see a
doubling (from 16%
to 32%) of those age
55 and over by 2050
and over a 200%
increase of those
adults over the age
of 85. While the
older adult population
is expected to
increase, the City is
seeing a plateauing
of adults and
children, with
negative growth in
the college-age
population.8
These population trends present new questions that have not been focused on in detail, such
as:
• How does the city attract and retain young talent?
• What do neighborhoods look like to entice young families to live there?
• How can the City assist older adults to age in place, have access to services when needed
and stay engaged?
By looking through the ‘lens of
older adults’ the Age-Friendly
network provides a platform and
process to talk about, set goals
and develop implementation
measures to address these types
of questions. Through a
partnership with the San Diego
Foundation and AARP, the City of
Chula Vista began the journey to
answer these questions and many
more in July 2016, when Chula
Vista committed to entering that
network and developing a plan to
make Chula Vista even more
livable throughout residents’ lives.

Plan Development
The City of Chula Vista’s goal through the Age-Friendly effort is to create an inclusive
environment where all city staff, community organizations, service providers, and the greater
community think about issues surrounding the livability of our neighborhoods and city by looking
at daily life through a ‘lens of age’. To do this the City created a robust outreach plan to engage
the community in all generations of the age spectrum in order to provide a baseline assessment
of the existing state of each of the Age-Friendly domains and a summary of the strengths,
challenges and gaps in each. This process culminated in Winter 2018 in community
development of prioritized ways to address these issues, our Age-Friendly goals and actionable
objectives, as fully detailed in Appendix I.
Community Involvement
Over the past two years City staff has collaborated internally, with outside agencies both locally
and regionally and engaged the community (reference Acknowledgments in Appendix II) to
collect and analyze baseline data vital to the development of this plan using quantitative data
and qualitative information.
The quantitative data sources used to establish a baseline (existing condition) are highlighted
throughout the Action Plan under the appropriate domains and referenced in Appendix III. In
addition, each domain in the Action Plan provides a summary of the qualitative data and
community needs identified by stakeholders and residents.
A summary of the tools and process used to engage over 1,500 members of the Chula Vista
community are detailed below.
Community Survey
In Fall 2016 AARP commissioned a telephone survey to assess public opinion about Age-
Friendly and livable community topics in Chula Vista, following the WHO 8 Domains of Livability.
The survey sample consisted of older adults age 45 and over and resulted in 503 completed
interviews from people throughout the city.9
Community Cafes
Listening sessions, marketed as Community Cafés,
were held from July 2016 through March 2017 to provide
Chula Vista residents with a structured but open forum
to discuss topics important to them. The City reached
populations that have not been actively engaged, such
as primarily Spanish speaking and older adults by
conducting the sessions at places where residents
naturally gather allowing a more natural environment
which led to more productive discussions around the
issues that matter to the community.

Community Café conducted in Spanish
A G E -F R I E N D L Y A C T I O N P L A N

In total nine (9) Community Cafés were conducted
with over 150 participants, most of these Cafés
centered around the concerns of older adults at
locations including residential care facilities,
affordable housing complexes, mobile home parks,
the Norman Park Senior Center and a school library.
Assistance from community-based organizations and
holding sessions in conjunction with city
commissions (Commission on Veteran Affairs,
Commission on Aging, Healthy Chula Vista Advisory
Commission, Cultural Arts Commission,
Sustainability Commission and Mobile home Rent
Review Commission) also encouraged community involvement. In addition, one session was
held in conjunction with the County of San Diego’s Age-Friendly efforts in the Castle Park
neighborhood.
But, the goal was to get input from people
across the age spectrum, not just older adults.
Therefore, City staff conducted a listening
session at a local high school and solicited
input from high school students and their
families throughout the process. The session
inspired high school students to think about
what makes their community livable and
discussing what might keep them in their
community sparked a stronger sense of
belonging and interest in older adults.
During these conversations staff asked
participants questions pertaining to the eight (8) domains of livability. Through these
conversations the City found two additional areas of relevance within the community: food
insecurity and safety.
Age-Friendly Expert Chat
On January 25, 2018 over ninety (90) stakeholders gathered in the City of Chula Vista Council
Chambers. Stakeholders included, but not limited to, city staff, community-based organizations,
transportation experts, health care providers, housing providers, high school students and
residents. This outreach was organized to present an overview of the planning efforts for the
first year of the Age-Friendly effort, including a presentation on data and the types of goals that
could be developed through the Age-Friendly effort.

The purpose of the event was to gather
input on how as a community we could all
make contributions to improve
neighborhood livability for people
throughout the age spectrum in each of
the Chula Vista Domains of Livability.
Age-Friendly Community Chat
(Community Roundtables)
The Age-Friendly Team conducted four
community roundtables, one in each
Council District during the months of
February and March 2018. With over fifty
(50) participants, the community
roundtables helped collaborate with
residents to develop strategies for a
successful Age-Friendly community in the
three or four (time-dependent) domains
that they felt were most important in their
District, as follows:
• District 1 – Northeast: Health &
Community, Outdoor Spaces and
Buildings; Social Participation,
Respect & Inclusion; and
Transportation.
• District 2 – Northwest: Health &
Community, Outdoor Spaces and

• District 3 – Southeast: Civic Participation & Employment;
Social Participation, Respect & Inclusion; and
Transportation.
• District 4 – Southwest: Healthy Food; Outdoor Spaces
and Buildings; Social Participation, Respect & Inclusion;
and Transportation.
All roundtables followed a general structure to understand the
strengths they felt existed within their District, current issues
and what could be done to improve those issue. Participants
were encouraged to share, ask questions, and speak out their
ideas, challenges, and solutions. Combined with the information gathered during the Expert
Chat, staff was able to understand and develop goals to meet community needs in each Domain
of Livability.
Engaging Youth
In an effort to link older adults with youth the Age-Friendly team made efforts to find
opportunities to engage youth in the Age-Friendly discussion and process.
Day of the Child 2017
In April 2017 staff attended the Day of the Child at Memorial Park. Over 120 children and their
families stopped at the Healthy Chula Vista & Age-Friendly booth. Children participated in an
interactive game surrounding the 8 Domains of Livability by throwing a beanbag onto a board
with the domains and then answering a question to receive a jump rope or flying disc.
Questions ranged from whom they communicate with the most to how they get to school each
day.
“My Future Community” Drawing Contest
The My “Future Community” drawing contest was an effort created to engage Chula Vista’s
youth through the artistic medium of drawing and to introduce them to Age-Friendly concepts.
In a period of four (4) months, over 100 submissions from Pre-K to 6th-grade students
participated, challenging them to think about what their community might look like in each of the
8 Domains of Livability. A panel consisting of commissioners from the City’s Commission on
Aging, Cultural Arts Commission, Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission, along with city
staff selected a drawing that best represented each domain.
Artists were rewarded for their creativity and participation through City Council recognition on
May 1, 2018 and received tickets to the Living Coast Discovery Center and Sky Zone trampoline
park.
The winner’s drawings are featured as covers to each domain within the Action Plan.

Other Engagement Opportunities
In addition to the Age-Friendly engagement opportunities listed above, staff participated at various
community events over the two-year planning period to promote the concept of Age-Friendly and
Livable Communities while garnering information from residents about assets and challenges
residents face as they age in our community, reaching hundreds.
City staff held several forums on
issues that became relevant and
important throughout the process
including educational workshops
through the Healthy Chula Vista
Initiative covering topics such as food
insecurity, urban agriculture, food
waste, mobile home property
management training for senior issues
and resources, mental health and
suicide prevention training and
community resilience. Information on
these workshops can be found at
www.chulavistaca.gov/healthycv.
Public Review
A draft of the Action Plan was released to the public on May 15, 2018. A press release was sent
out and the plan was made available for download at www.chulavistaca.gov/agefriendly. Hard
copies were made available for public view at three different branches of the Chula Vista Public
Library System as well as the City's Norman Park Senior Center and City Hall. Notice of the

availability of the plan was also emailed to over 300 stakeholders and residents that participated
in the plan development.
Special requests for those who had barriers to access the plan were handled by Healthy & Age-
Friendly Chula Vista staff. The public comment period closed on June 15, 2018. All comments
and suggestions were addressed and, where appropriate, changes were incorporated into the
final version of the Action Plan. The final Action Plan went to the Joint Task Force of the Healthy
Chula Vista Commission and Commission on Aging on July 9, 2018 and was presented to City
Council on July 10, 2018.
Plan Oversight
The City of Chula Vista has many residents who volunteer their time and expertise to a variety
of boards and commissions. These residents advise Council and city staff about issues
impacting specific population groups, stay up to date on current trends and topics, and provide
forums for residents to express concerns, and find resolutions to specific issues.
In determining the most sustainable and effective means to administer the Age-Friendly Action
Plan two existing commissions that were active in the outreach process for the development of
the plan included:
• Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission (‘HCVAC’) was formed in April 2016 as an
implementation measure of the Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan (‘HCVAP’). The
commission consists of nine members: five experts in the focus areas of the HCVAP and
four residents that represent each of the City Council Districts. Working with Healthy Chula
Vista Initiative staff from the Development Services Department, the commission oversees
implementation of over 60 strategies within the HCVAP that address public health issues
and overall well-being of residents through policy and programs to improve the City’s
physical and social environments, promote awareness and access to services, and build
community partnerships.
• Commission on Aging (‘COA’) was formed to advise city staff and Council on matters
affecting older residents of the city. The commission consists of seven members who are
representative of the total racial, religious, ethnic and social spectrum of senior citizens.
Members take steps to develop a mutual understanding and respect between seniors and
the balance of the community, review existing programs and recommend modifications, and
provide a forum where older citizens may voice their concerns and suggestions. The COA
works with the Community Services Department Recreation staff to develop programming
for older adults throughout the city and at the Norman Park Senior Center.
In January 2018 both commissions voted to serve as the ‘Age-Friendly Joint Task Force’, as a
way of keeping the Age-Friendly initiative on track. On April 14, 2018 the Commission on Aging
and Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission met for the first time. These commissions will
meet annually to review the overall implementation of the plan and as needed for specific goal
and action advancement. They are expected to meet again in June 2018 to provide advisory
recommendations on the adoption of the plan to City Council.

Early Accomplishments
Several community-based groups have
begun to strengthen our community by
looking through a ‘lens of age’ with
neighborhood-based efforts, including:
• Neighbor Day (Social Isolation) – In
May 2017 South Bay Community
Services’ Promise Neighborhood
Resident Leadership (“RLA”) Academy
graduates started an annual event
(held the second Saturday in May) to
bring neighbors together in the Castle
Park neighborhood. The event begins
with a pancake breakfast and craft
area to create two flowers to take to a neighbor you have not met before. The neighbor

• Senior Prom (Respect & Social Participation) – High Tech High Chula Vista’s 10th-grade
students from the Faces of Change project worked for three months with St. Paul’s Plaza, a
residential care facility to develop intergenerational programming for residents, including a
picnic with a neighboring preschool. The three months concluded in March 2018 with a
prom thrown by students for the “seniors” living at the Plaza.
• Intergenerational Resident Leadership Academy (Respect & Inclusion) – In Fall 2017 the
first Intergenerational RLA was held in collaboration with the Chula Vista Community
Collaborative, AARP and Chula Vista High School. Ten students and three community
members went through a ten-week course learning leadership skills and developing a
community-based project to address food waste at the high school. An hour-long assembly
was developed to educate fellow students about waste and proper trash disposal.
• We Are Chula Vista (Respect) – In collaboration with City Cultural Arts, Healthy Chula Vista
began an oral history video project in 2018 to provide a toolkit for residents to interview older
adults. Videos will be showcased through a mobile video kiosk at various locations in the
city.
• Healthy Habits for a Lifetime (Health & Community)
– In July 2018 San Ysidro Health and Healthy Chula Vista
will collaborate on a billboard about developing healthy
habits as children to live a healthier life into adulthood.
The billboard is in a primarily Hispanic area and will be
displayed in Spanish.
These early accomplishments are a sample directly
impacted by our Age-Friendly Journey, but Chula Vista
and the South Bay Region of San Diego County have
some of the most dedicated social service agencies and
community members, we know so much more will come!

Action Plan
Domains of Livability
Over the course of the year and a half of community and stakeholder engagement it became
clear that there was great overlap between the domains of Respect & Inclusion and Social
Participation. Being inclusive and participating became virtually synonymous during outreach
efforts, as one cannot participate without being included. Thus, the Chula Vista Action Plan has
combined these two domains.
Additionally, in conversations with residents and internally with city staff it became necessary to
add another domain: Healthy Food Access & Nutrition. Residents and stakeholders expressed
concerns over the lack of accessible healthy food that was affordable and quality in certain
areas of the City and the nutritional needs of older adults often going unmet. In the process of
developing this plan staff engaged in various activities that shed light on this issue as a way of
raising awareness and effecting change. The issue of safety also continued to come up in
domain discussions and has been weaved throughout the plan.
Therefore, the Chula Vista Age-Friendly Domains are:
• Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
• Transportation
• Housing
• Respect, Inclusion and Social Participation
• Healthy Food Access and Nutrition
• Civic Participation and Employment
• Communication and Information
• Health and Community
According to the Age-Friendly Livability Index, Chula Vista currently scores 52 out of 100,
slightly above the nation’s average score of 50. Scoring lowest in Housing and Engagement,
and highest in Health and Outdoor Space and Buildings.10
Action Plan Organization
The City of Chula Vista Action Plan is organized by domain to identify a vision - outlining what
we aspire to become; what we know - an overview of existing conditions; what we heard -
community feedback; and what we will do - steps to respond to those areas of high priority by
identifying goals and actions steps. A table summarizing the needs, goals, objectives, and tools
needed to accomplish them is found in Appendix I.

Vision
A city with high-quality
buildings and public
outdoor spaces that
provide safe routes for
walking, physical activity,
social interaction and
recreation in an equitable
way throughout the city.
What we know
Interacting with nature
delivers measurable
benefits to residents in
addition to physical
activity opportunities.
Having urban green
space helps provide
environmental benefits
by canceling out urban
heat, neutralizing
greenhouse gas emissions, and decreasing storm water. Chula Vista provides nine recreation
centers (including the Norman Park Senior Center), two aquatic facilities, and 56 parks for
residents to enjoy, with more parks being added every year as our population continues to
grow.11 Approximately 53 percent of residents over the age of 64 live within a ten-minute walk of
a public park.12 In addition to City facilities, the YMCA provides opportunities for recreation at
the Eastlake and South Bay locations and Southwestern Community College opened a
Wellness and Aquatic Center in 2018.
Since the late 1980’s most residential growth has occurred in eastern Chula Vista where
master-planned communities have been built on previous ranchlands and vacant lands.
Community and regional parks have been created in these areas as developments occurred,
however, future population growth will require additional parklands throughout the city;
presenting a greater challenge in urbanizing western Chula Vista to secure parkland and
provide equitable access to physical activity opportunities.
In addition to parkland, the Chula Vista Greenbelt is a system of 28 miles of multi-use and rural
paths that will circumference the City when completed.13 At the southern border of the City and
a part of the Greenbelt system is Otay Valley Regional Park. This system will reinforce the
natural character of the community and integrates unique historic and cultural resources, open
spaces areas, creeks, and trails.

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions suggested to address these issues included activating parks through community
groups, community gardens, and increased opportunities to interact with police.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, allowing residents of
Chula Vista to continue safely using parks, trails, and outdoor spaces as they age. Additionally,
we hope these action items will give residents who are currently unable to use outdoor spaces
better access to meaningful experiences with the natural world.
Goal 1.1
Increase park usage and community ownership.
Actions to Address
A. Create at least two (2) Park Action Groups (PAGs) to address community ownership of
parks and organize programs that increase the community’s presence (e.g., Adopt-A-Park,
cleanups, events, etc.).
B. Increase police interaction with Homeowners Association (HOAs), schools, Resident
Leadership Academies (RLAs), Ambassadors/ Promotores, and others to promote crime
prevention programs (e.g., Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED),
Neighborhood Watch Program, etc.).
C. Encourage night time use of parks and physical activity in residential areas by exploring
pedestrian scale lighting and other alternatives in at least two (2) neighborhoods.
•Lack of visible police presence in public spaces
•Perceived safety concern due to homeless
•Limited lighting on sidewalks
Safety
•Park bathrooms are in desrepair or not available
•Broken sidewalks are a hazard
•Dog clean up stations for cleaner walkways

Vision
A city where everyone
has access to safe,
environmentally friendly
and sustainable
transportation services
that are affordable and
provide a full range of
mobility options to
connect residents to
critical services, cultural
opportunities and each
other.
What we know
Over 87 percent of
residents over the age of
45 drive themselves and
many older adults struggle when it’s time to turn over the keys and find alternative modes of
transportation to assist getting to appointments and social events.14
The Chula Vista Police Department found the top five causes of traffic collisions in those over
the age of 55 are: (1) speeding; (2) not stopping at red lights; (3) not using signals; (4) not
yielding for oncoming traffic; and (5) collisions that take place in private parking lots. In addition,
an increase in pedestrians and bicyclists over the age of 55 that have been injured by vehicle-
related collisions has been seen since 2013.15
With older adults staying active longer than previous generations, public transit will play a key
role in maintaining their active lifestyle, once they are unable to drive. The Metropolitan Transit
System (MTS) provides transit services in Chula Vista currently maintaining nine (9) bus routes,
585 bus stops and three (3) trolley stations, provides a 24-hour automated transit information
and an operating-assisted trip planning service.16
The quality of pedestrian infrastructure is also an important element of a community’s overall
quality of life and livability. Repairing and maintaining neighborhood streets became one of the
City’s highest priorities in November 2017 when the Measure P Tax was approved by voters for
infrastructure improvements.17 A comprehensive inventory of the entire sidewalk system was
conducted which will help prioritize future projects and the City is starting the process to update
the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, including looking at major arterials for the potential of
separated bike lanes. Currently the City maintains 137.05 miles of bike infrastructure through a
variety of bike routes, lanes and paths.18 The linkage between health and walking as we age is
greatly valued as seen through the Chula Vista Walking for Fitness group which utilizes peer
coaches to promote overall well-being through organized weekly walks.

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions suggested to address these issues included coordination with other agencies that have
shuttles or buses, implementing complete street policies to account for all modes of
transportation during street projects, educate older adults to reduce stigma and lack of
knowledge about transit, and creating more visible safe routes.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, through educating
residents about alternative forms of transportation and providing increased mobility options to
connect residents to the greater community.
Goal 2.1
Use educational tools to promote increased alternative transportation use and
obtain community feedback to guide future planning efforts.
Actions to Address
A. Update and disseminate the senior transportation brochure to at least 500 residents and
provide a web-based version.
B. Develop a public service commercial and/or tutorial video to promote transit use featuring
one (1) field trip for up to twenty (20) older adults to a cultural arts experience in the
downtown San Diego area.
C. Assess the feasibility of the use of incentives for increased public transit use through local
business & attraction agreements for at least four (4) events.
D. Increase participation (among residents of all ages) in the Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan
Update to address: “first mile, last mile” issues; bike sharing promotion & regulations; resting
areas between transit stops; suggested routes to schools implementation; and education
around traffic signal synchronization for safety.
Goal 2.2
Develop new ways to move people between events and key amenities.
Actions to Address
A. Assess feasibility of a formal LYFT or UBER senior transportation program for medical
appointments, which may include research and education on health insurance reimbursement
and provision of at least two (2) trainings to older adults on using such services.
B. Explore opportunities and organize shuttle services for at least two (2) community events.
•Crosswalk timers too short for some residents
•Additional mid-block crosswalks in heavy pedestrian areas
•Clearly separated bike lanes from traffic lanes
•Enforce traffic speeds on major corridors
Safety
•Community events can be hard to attend by transit
•More resting areas in between transit stops for walkers
•Need easier transit navigation (e.g., routes, maps)
•Infrequent transit stops and routes in East Chula Vista

Vision
A city that provides affordable, accessible and
supportive housing that fosters healthy and livable
neighborhoods for people throughout the age
spectrum.
What we know
With over 79,000 housing units in the city, residents
have a variety of different living options.19 However,
as with much of Southern California, high housing
costs often prevent individuals and families from
meeting all basic needs. As of 2018 the average
rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in Chula Vista was
$1,715 and median single-family household price
was $559,000.20,21
The City has an inclusionary requirement for new
development which has provided many of the
restricted affordable housing units in the city (2,316
as of 2018).22 Demand for these units often causes
waitlists of several years as does the Section 8 program administered by the County of San
Diego which issued 2,585 vouchers in Chula Vista in 2017, with nearly one third to residents
over the age of 62.23 In addition, the city provides rent control services for existing residents
within mobile home and trailer parks, which house many older adults and lower income families
where the average space rent for a new mobile home in 2017 was $780.24 Chula Vista also
offers a first-time program to help assist home purchases and a rehabilitation program that has
assisted over 1,200 households since its inception in the 1970’s.25
In recent years many new residential care facilities have been built, resulting in 1,532 elder care
and 762 adult residential units.26 However, rates often range from $4,000 to $6,000 per month
and are often not attainable for resident, making it difficult for residents to stay in the community
when they need a higher level of care that cannot be provided within their home or by
caregivers. Nearly 60
percent of surveyed
residents indicate that they
would like to stay in their
current residence and never
move.27 Some stay in our
community without adequate
access to resources or
assistance as represented
by the Fire Department’s
reported calls for service
related to falls in 2016 of 3.7
times per day.28

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions suggested to address these issues included increasing types of housing with lower price
points through zoning and incentives, as well as identifying programs to assist residents stay in
place longer.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, allowing residents of
Chula Vista the ability to stay here in suitable housing that meets their needs throughout their
lifetime.
Goal 3.1
Provide resources and education to promote “Aging in Place” (i.e., continuing
to live in one’s own home and community as one ages).
Actions to Address
A. Develop & disseminate a pocket guide to at least 500 households that feature existing
programs such as You Are Not Alone (YANA), Vacation Check, and Neighborhood Watch
Programs in order to promote safety while aging in home.
B. Pilot a comprehensive Home Audit Program in at least fifty (50) homes to address crime
prevention, fall prevention, conservation measures, social isolation, and health & safety
issues.
C. Explore the Village Concept in at least one (1) mobile home community through
presentations in at least three (3) parks.
Goal 3.2
Increase alternative housing options.
Actions to Address
A. Expand Home Sharing services to the South Bay and develop a pilot program to match
seniors and students making at least five (5) matches.
B. Encourage older adults to be part of the Housing Element Update process to address
senior housing issues and opportunities (e.g. increase densities, tiny houses, accessory
dwelling units, universal design) through at least two (2) presentations to Commission on
Aging and Veteran Affairs.
C. Develop and promote a web-based City map of senior housing opportunities and senior
facilities.

Vision
A city that offers opportunities for residents to be included in activities in a meaningful and
respectful way, by offering accessible, affordable and intergenerational activities.
What we know
Residents of all ages want to feel respected and valued, especially in the community they call
home. Inclusion in society and social participation is often regarded as an important principle of
quality of life in advancing years.
Norman Park Senior Center, which has become the
City’s center for senior programing including
educational courses, health programs, exercise,
hobbies, dancing groups and special events
reported 79,360 served in fiscal year 2016-17.29 In
addition to Norman Park, limited classes for older
adults is provided at other recreation facilities in the
city. Surveyed residents ranked activities geared
specifically towards older adults as “poor” and also
indicated local schools do not often involve older
adults in events and activities.30
During the initial year of the Age-Friendly efforts
staff heard from older adults at residential care
facilities that they had opportunities to participate in on-site activities but felt disconnected from
the larger community. While older adults living in affordable housing found it difficult to engage
with their neighbors and did not know where to find information on social events. Further, they
often felt intimidated and/or had physical barriers to participating.
The City of Chula Vista works closely with
County Aging and Independent Services on
intergenerational activities such as the
“Intergenerational Games”, an annual one-day
event bringing third graders and older adults
together for a day of physical activity and
sharing to build respect between generations.
The Games, which began in Chula Vista are
now conducted at various locations throughout
the County. Other agencies provide
intergenerational opportunities within Chula
Vista such as “Oasis” whom pairs an older
adult with an elementary school student for
weekly reading tutoring for an entire year, they
reported 10 schools, 25 tutors and 77 students
impacted in Chula Vista in 2018.31

Vision
A city where everyone has
equitable access to and
knowledge about healthy and
nutritious foods.
What we know
According to the San Diego
Hunger Coalition and based on
income over 17 percent of
Chula Vista residents are likely
to self-report being food
insecure (not having access at
all times to enough food for an
active, healthy life).32 Proper
nutrition is critical throughout
one’s lifetime, but as we age we
are at a higher health risk for
adverse health risks.33
During the course of the Age-Friendly outreach the topic of food insecurity and food waste
became a large topic of interest. The City conducted educational workshops addressing these
issues to learn more and receive additional feedback specific to this added domain, including:
• South Bay Hunger Relief Forum I,
focused on food distribution efforts and
discussion about best practices in
serving the most vulnerable
populations.
• South Bay Hunger Relief Forum II,
explored the topic of food waste
diversion with a screening of the
documentary Just Eat It; over 200
students at Chula Vista High School
(CVHS) attended.
• South Bay Hunger Relief Forum III,
breakout roundtable discussions
emphasizing sustainable food systems.
As a way of combating food insecurity and preventing food deserts, the City of Chula Vista has
updated their community garden policy to allow additional public spaces to be used to cultivate
fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the City is in process of adopting an Urban Agriculture
Incentive Zone to allow a tax break for eligible private property owners if they agree to use their
vacant property for agricultural purposes for a minimum of five years. The City’s Office of

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions suggested to address these issues included better coordination to retain food in the
south bay, more opportunities to educate everyone in the food chain, and ensuring people are
aware of available resources.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, providing access to
healthy food for Chula Vista residents and addressing nutritional needs.
Goal 5.1
Increase healthy food access.
Actions to Address
A. Develop a Food System Plan for the City with an identified HUB for donations and
distribution in the South Bay.
B. Increase food kept for human consumption through education of policy/regulations (i.e.
share tables, donations, etc.)
C. Work with partners to create at least two (2) new food distribution points and explore
mobile opportunities.
Goal 5.2
Promote locally grown food consumption and increase knowledge about
nutrition.
Actions to Address
A. Identify new community garden opportunities and champions, creating at least five (5) new
community gardens.
B. Explore incentives for farmer markets to create at least one (1) new market.
C. Expand class offerings around generational nutrition, dietary needs, cultural cooking and
ensure existing classes provide healthy offerings.
•Inability to meet basic food needs
•Stigma around asking for food assistance
•Policies preventing donation (e.g. school share tables)

Vision
A city that encourages and empowers residents to work and volunteer for as long as they like
and take an active role in their community.
What we know
Civic participation includes individual acts, such as voting (92,186 voters registered in 2015); as
well as two-way engagement with the greater community and institutions, such as local
government and schools.34
Residents and stakeholders can sign up for email notification of new projects, events and other
related city activities as detailed in the Communication and Information domain. Policy
surrounding new development also requires notification via mail for residents within a certain
radius of the project area and sometimes provide community meetings for input.
The City also encourages residents to stay engaged through a variety of volunteer opportunities
such as: sitting on one of the 23 resident boards and commissions; at facilities like Norman Park
Senior Center, Libraries or the Animal Care Facility; and/or with first responders through the
Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP), Citizen Adversity Support Team (CAST) and Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT).35 Local businesses and nonprofits also encourage and
often heavily depend on volunteer hours like the Living Coast Discovery Center, who logged
26,743 volunteer hours in fiscal year 2016-2017. 36
As life expectancy increases often the need to work longer also increases. Surveyed residents
ranked job training opportunities for old adults and adaptable jobs that meet the need of people
with disabilities as “poor” in Chula Vista.37 In most respects, the population of older adults is
distributed evenly
between the original
historic area of Chula
Vista west of
Interstate 805 and
the more recently
built areas in the
eastern portions of
the city. Except
income, where older
adults in eastern
Chula Vista nearly
double the income of
western Chula Vista,
which may also
contribute to future
employment trends.38

Vision
A city that enables residents to gain the information they want and need in a variety of formats
that provides access to all.
What we know
The City of Chula Vista operates three public library facilities and residents in the Bonita area
have access to a fourth location through the County library system. All branches have
computers available for public use with free internet access, thousands of books and daily
educational programing for library
visitors. In the 2016-17 fiscal year,
there were 857,475 visitations to the
Chula Vista libraries.39 Forty-seven
percent (47%) of residents surveyed
indicated that they felt they have
excellent access to free computers
with internet in public places.40
As mentioned another hub for older
adult activity in the city is Norman Park
Senior Center whom publishes its own
facility Newsletter to inform about
programming and special events that
will be taking place throughout the city
for older adults.
In addition to brick and mortar hubs for information dissemination, the City of Chula Vista has
used several different technological mediums to keep its constituents informed, including:
• Social media such as Facebook (7,708 Followers as of January 2018) and Instagram
(1,988 followers).
• Text and email-based notification through NIXLE.
• Smartphone applications such as Next Door (over 20,000 residents) and the San Diego
County Emergency notification.
• City website that includes a city calendar (that highlights community events/programs
accessible by outside agencies to post events), information about new development and
construction, and services offered by various departments, all with options for email

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions identified to address these issues included ensuring information is being provided in
linguistically and culturally appropriate formats, providing a variety of ways to supply information
and educate residents on options to access.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, allowing residents of
Chula Vista to remain informed.
Goal 7.1
Maintain consistent, widespread and centralized distribution of information in a
culturally appropriate way.
Actions to Address
A. Conduct a public information assessment to determine existing communication channels
and preferred or new sources of community information.
B. Increase participation by older adults and vulnerable populations (e.g., low income, socially
isolated, Spanish speaking) in the Communications Plan update to understand and address
communication to hard-to-reach populations and people without digital access.
C. Develop or designate centralized information sharing (e.g. community events) at pilot
community gathering places (e.g. kiosks in grocery stores, schools, hospitals, clinics,
libraries).
Goal 7.2
Create a video repository of content and outlets for information for older adults.
Actions to Address
A. Develop video content on issues and information relevant to older adults, including a
calendar of community events.
B. Work with local access cable, REACH loop at Norman Park Senior Center and others to
develop a “silver channel” and You-Tube Channel for older adults.
•Use a variety of infomration outlets
•Place information in places where people "are"Increasing Reach
•Residents often face technology barriers
•Materials appropriate to language and culture
•Ensure visual and hearing sensitivity

Vision
A city that promotes a thriving,
healthy community by promoting
healthy behavior and access to
resources and services throughout
the age spectrum.
What we know
2-1-1 San Diego provides free
access to community resource
referrals for residents throughout
the County. In fiscal year 2015-16,
2-1-1 reported 2,052 calls and
4,243 referrals in a variety of areas
with basic needs far outweighing all
other categories.43
When it comes to health outcomes
there is great difference between
east and west Chula Vista. Based
on San Diego County HHSA data, West Chula Vista has the highest rate of COPD, anxiety and
asthma-related hospitalization emergency discharges, and the lowest life expectancy at 76.8
years, relative to other low-income communities in the County. 44 These outcomes can be
lowered through healthy behaviors influenced by policy, systems and environmental change
which is the goal of the Healthy Chula Vista Initiative.
In addition, other preventable chronic conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes (10 percent of adult
population in eastern Chula Vista and up to 17 percent in western Chula Vista) can be
prevented or managed to allow residents to lower risk of emergency conditions and live a higher
quality of life. Finally, in 2018 Alzheimer’s disease was listed in the top five causes of early
death in the South Bay Region of San Diego County for the first time with XX diagnosed
persons in Chula Vista in 2017. 45 With the increasing number of older adults and without a cure
for this condition, increasing resources such as the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department
Take Me Home Program (whom reported 136 residents in Chula Vista registered in 2018) and
other caregiving respite resources like the Chula Vista Glenner Center Town Square adult day
care services will be in higher demand.46
Other mental health issues continue to be of concern in Chula Vista and culminated in two
community discussions during the Age-Friendly process as follows:
• Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope movie screening and
resource fair where students, teachers, service providers, parents and community
members were invited to Chula Vista High School to learn about the impact of Adverse
Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impacts on lifelong health. An additional
screening and panel discussion were held due to popularity.

What we heard
Through community outreach and collection of data, the following themes and issues were
identified.
Actions identified to address these issues included education of the health care system, using
community health workers (promotoras) to educate at the neighborhood level, focus on senior
services, improving access to resources in a centralized place and improving preventive care.
What we will do
Through the Age-Friendly initiative, we hope to address identified gaps, allowing residents of
Chula Vista to easily access preventive and critical care services.
Goal 8.1
Address inequity in emergency services in South Bay through education on
preventive care, chronic disease management, centralized resources, patient-
centered care and advocacy.
Actions to Address
A. Identify central resource service provider (e.g., 211) and develop promotional campaign to
encourage a one-stop shop for resource and increase older adults (55+) referrals by 10%.
B. Support alternative points of care (e.g., Kaiser at Target, San Ysidro Health at Northgate,
Sharp at CVS ‘Minute Clinic’) and create at least one (1) new alternative.
C. Promote “family medicine model” patient-centered care where specialist communicate
throughout health care system.
D. Develop a campaign to educate community on health information (including MediCal and
MediCare) and services in Chula Vista, in an effort to divert non-emergency use from the ER.
E. Advocate for additional hospital resources for emergency services.
Goal 8.2
Develop behavioral health and dementia friendly practices and awareness.
Actions to Address
A. Promote behavioral health training for practitioners, businesses and residents by
conducting at least four (4) related trainings.
B. Host at least four (4) dementia friendly trainings and workshops for businesses, families,
CBOs and/or health care.
C. Increase knowledge and use of “Take Me Home” program by 10% and other resources for
dementia by expanding education at point of diagnosis and critical points of contact.
D. Create two (2) community-based support groups for mental health.
•Create one stop for community resources
•Provide warm hand-offs
•Lack of knowledge of 2-1-1 San Diego
Centralized
Resources
•Distinguish prevention vs. emergency care
•Reduce wait times for specialized services

Next Steps
Implementation
The City and community partners will work over the next three years to implement t he goals and
objectives outlined in the Age-Friendly Chula Vista Action Plan with oversight from the Joint
Task Force (Commission on Aging and Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission). The Joint
Task Force will meet annually to review progress and ensure the Action Plan is on track.
Through a continued partnership with the San Diego Foundation and San Diego State
University the City will work with community partners to dive deeper into reviewing data and
needs within particular neighborhoods as pilot programs are established and deployed.
The City is confident that the implementation measures identified in the Action Plan will not only
be accomplished but inspire the community to look through a ‘lens of age’ when interacting with
the public and making decision on policies, programs and community activities to advance Age-
Friendly Chula Vista!

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference – September 12 - 14, Long Beach
The League’s 2018 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 12 – 14 in Long Beach. An
important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting (during General
Assembly), scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Friday, September 14, at the Long Beach Convention
Center. At this meeting, the League membership considers and takes action on resolutions that
establish League policy.
In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, your city council must designate a voting
delegate. Your city may also appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote
in the event that the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
Please complete the attached Voting Delegate form and return it to the League’s office
no later than Friday, August 31, 2018. This will allow us time to establish voting
delegate/alternate records prior to the conference.
Please note the following procedures are intended to ensure the integrity of the voting process at
the Annual Business Meeting.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with League bylaws, a city’s voting delegate
and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the
attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that
reflects the council action taken, or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming
that the names provided are those selected by the city council. Please note that
designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and
cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they
may register for Friday only. To register for the conference, please go to our website:
www.cacities.org. In order to cast a vote, at least one voter must be present at the

delegate card may be transferred freel y between the voting delegate and alternates, but
only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find
themselves unable to attend the Business Meeting, they may not transfer the voting card
to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the Business Meeting, individuals with
the voting card will sit in a separate area. Admission to this area will be limited to those
individuals with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate
or alternate. If the voting delegate and alternates wish to sit together, they must sign in at
the Voting Delegate Desk and obtain the special sticker on their badges.
The Voting Delegate Desk, located in the conference registration area of the Sacramento
Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, September 12, 8:00 a.m. –
6:00 p.m.; Thursday, September 13, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.; and Friday, September 14, 7:30 a.m.–

will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo. Please
share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that
your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA CALLING ON THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO
IMMEDIATELY REUNITE FAMILIES SEPARATED AT THE
BORDER
WHEREAS, the U.S. government recently ended an immigration enforcement policy that
resulted in the separation of more than 2,000 minors from their families; and
WHEREAS, an unknown number of minors still remain separated from their families or
guardians; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista is a community that values humanity, and believes
that all human beings have rights, regardless of their country of origin; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has a rich cultural heritage including contributions
from immigrants around the world; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista is a member of the Welcoming America Network
and is applying to become a Certified Welcoming City; and
WHEREAS, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2017 the population of
the City of Chula Vista is estimated to be 31% foreign-born; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. State Department’s “Trafficking in Persons Report 2018”
concludes:
“Removal of a child from the family should only be considered as a temporary, last
resort. Studies have found that both private and government-run residential institutions for
children, or places such as orphanages and psychiatric wards that do not offer a family-based
setting, cannot replicate the emotional companionship and attention found in family
environments that are prerequisites to healthy cognitive development”; and
WHEREAS, a policy that forcibly separates immigrant families fuels the climate of fear
experienced by many immigrants and refugees, causing them to avoid reporting crime to law
enforcement agencies, thus making it more difficult to solve crimes; and
WHEREAS, separating children from families, especially when the family is merely
invoking their right to seek asylum in the U.S., is inconsistent with the values of the City of
Chula Vista; and
Resolution No. 2018-
Page No. 2
WHEREAS, the Chula Vista City Council believes it has an obligation to take a stand
against government actions that are immoral and inhumane; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista Human Relations Commission has asked the City
Council to consider taking actions to oppose policies resulting in the separation of immigrant
children from their families, to support non-criminal processing of immigrant families, and
support actions or policies that expedite reunification.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
does as follows:
1. Calls on the United States government to immediately reunite families separated at the
U.S. border with Mexico, especially in cases where the family is exercising its right to apply for
asylum, or in cases when the only offense committed is crossing the border illegally.
2. Directs the Mayor to forward this resolution to U.S. Representatives Susan Davis and
Juan Vargas, U.S. Senators Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein, U.S. Attorney General Jeff
Sessions, and President Donald Trump.
