RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
OTAY VALLEY REGIONAL PARK CONCEPT PLAN
WHEREAS, in 1990 the Cities of Chula Vista and San Diego, and the County of San
Diego, referred to collectively as the “Jurisdictions”, entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement (JEPA) to initiate and coordinate planning, acquisition and design of the Otay Valley
Regional Park (OVRP) for the benefit of their citizens and the public; and
WHEREAS, the OVRP Concept Plan is a conceptual level planning document which
provides policy recommendations and goals to the Jurisdictions for coordinated land acquisition
and development for the OVRP; and
WHEREAS, the OVRP is generally located in the southern portion of San Diego County,
four miles north of the international border. The OVRP extends over 11 miles from the
southeastern edge of the South Bay Wildlife Refuge through the Otay River Valley to the land
surrounding the Otay Reservoir area; and
WHEREAS, on December 14, 2016, the County of San Diego adopted the OVRP
Concept Plan update; and
WHEREAS, on July 25, 2017, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopted the
OVRP Concept Plan update by Resolution No. 2017-149; and
WHEREAS, the area labeled Recreation Area #16, described as Skydive San Diego, is
owned by the City of San Diego located within the County of San Diego jurisdiction as shown
on attached Exhibit A. The OVRP Concept Plan originally planned for the area to be reclassified
as an open space and core preserve designation when the lease between the Tac Air Ops (also
known as Skydive San Diego) and City of San Diego expires in 2020. A lease renewal is in
progress. At such time as this area is not under lease, it would be designated as open space and
core preserve in the future; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Diego adopted the OVRP Concept Plan update on October
13, 2017, with the omission of the following text on Page 48 of the OVRP Concept Plan: “This
Recreation Area will be reclassified from Recreation Area Open Space/Core Preserve Area at the
end of the current lease, in 2020” as shown on attached Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the extended lease is of no consequence to the City of Chula Vista or
County of San Diego; therefore, the deletion of the aforementioned text is immaterial and does
not establish a significant change in the goals and objectives of the overall OVRP Concept Plan;

WHEREAS, so that the OVRP Concept Plan update is consistent between all
Jurisdictions and because the deletion of the aforementioned text is immaterial and does not
establish a significant change in the goals and objectives of the overall OVRP Concept Plan, staff
recommends that the City Council adopt this amendment deleting the aforementioned text; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the proposed action for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the action qualifies for a
Statutory Exemption pursuant to Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) of the CEQA
State Guidelines. The Concept Plan update is general in nature, and does not include details on
specific park improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby adopt the subject
amendment to the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan.
