allowing their property south of H to become available for a higher and better use
development adjacent to the Chula Vista Marina. The agreement included an obligation
of the City/Agency to pursue acquisition and subsequent transfer of the privately owned,

The Polanco Redevelopment Act (HSC Section 33459 et. seq.) provides the
Redevelopment Agency unique tools to allow redevelopment of brownfield sites.
Brownfield sites, defined as those either perceived to have or having actual
environmental contamination, are among the most challenging to redevelop. Staff
recommends use of this authority on the former Omar Rendering site (LandBank site) so
that redevelopment can occur for auto park purposes. (Community Development
Director)
Senior Community Development Specialist Beard explained the benefits of Polanco Act
provisions and the history of the site, which has water contamination. The risk allocation
agreement between the City, Redevelopment Agency, land owner and developer requires that
adequate financing be available to clean up the site.

Agency/Councilmember McCann offered Council Resolution No 2003-134 and
