SUMMARY
The State of California has enacted several laws designed to reduce barriers to the development of affordable
housing, specifically,Accessory Dwelling Units (ADiUs). On October 1, 2019, staff made a report to the City
Council regarding Ales, and recommended adoption of an ordinance eliminating the owner-occupancy
requirement for ADUs and junior accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). Council requested that such action be
deferred to the meeting of October 22, 2019,to allow additional time for legislative action at the state level.

(CEQA) and it has been 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 1500(c)(3)of the State CEQA Guidelines,the activity is not subject to CEQA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section.

DISCUSSION
At the March 12, 2019 City Council meeting, the Council approved a referral directing staff to examine
building fees for ADUs. In response to this referral,a report on ADUs was made to the City Council on October
1) 2019. At that time, staff recommended eliminating the owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs and
JVD s. As of the October 1 meeting,Senate Bill 13 (SB 13) had been approved by both the Assembly and the
Senate and was awaiting final action by the Governor. At the October 1 Council Meeting,the Council directed
staff to continue action on the owner-occupancy requirement to the Council meeting of October 22, 2019 to
allow sufficient time for final action by the state on SB 13. The Governor signed SB 13 on October 9, 2019.
Senate Bill 13 includes the following key provisions (not an exhaustive list):
• Allows ADUs/JADUs to be either attached to, or located within, an attached garage, storage area, or
other structure;
• Prohibits replacement parking requirements when a garage,carport,or covered parking structure is
demolished to construct an ADD or converted into an ADD;
• Amends the existing prohibition on parking standards for ADUs located within 1/2 mile of public
transit to apply to units located within 1/2 mile walking distance of public transit;
• Prohibits local agencies from establishing a minimum square footage requirement for ADUs/JADUs
that prohibits an efficiency unit;
• Prohibits local agencies from establishing a maximum square footage requirement of less,than 850
square feet,or 1,000 square feet if the ADU/JAD�U contains more than one bedroom;
• Prohibits local agencies from establishing any other minimum or maximum size requirements that
would prohibit at least an 800 square foot ADU/JADU,that is at least 16 feet in height with 4-foot side
and rear yard setbacks.
• Prohibits local agencies from requiring fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary
residence;
• Prohibits local agencies from imposing owner occupancy requirements until January 1, 2025;
• Reduces the time for local agencies to consider and approve an application for an ADU/JADU,
ministerially and without discretionary review,from 120 days to 6,0 days from receiving a completed
application-
• Removes the existing requirement to determine development impact fees in accordance with the
Mitigation Fee Act;
• Prohibits local agencies from imposing any development impact fees on ADUs less than 750 square
feet in size;
• Limits the development impact fees that can be charged on ADU s 750 square feet or larger to be
proportional to the fees that would otherwise be charged for a new single-family dwelling on the
same lot, on a square footage basis;
• Revises the basis for calculating connection fees and capacity charges for ADUs;
• Authorizes the Department of Housing and Community Development to submit written findings to
each local agency as to compliance of the local ordinance with State law, possibly culminating in
referrals to the Attorney General of local agencies in violation of State law;
• Allows local agencies to count ADUs in identifying adequate sites for housing in General Plan Housing
Elements;
P zi g e 2
2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, Page 9 of 113
Authorizes owners of ADUs built before January 1, 2020 or built on or after January 1, 20�2O�,under
specified circumstances)that receive a notice to correct violations or abate a nuisance to request that
enforcement action be delayed for five(5)years,if correcting the violation is not necessary to protect
health and safety,as determined by the enforcement agency.
Recommended Actions,
Owner Occupancy
At this time,staff recommends adopting Ordinance A,modifying Chula Vista Municipal Code(CVMC)Sections
19.5 8.0 2 2 (ADUs)and 19.5 8.0 23 (JADUs)by removing the owner-occupancy requirement. Staff will proceed
with releasing all owner-occupancy deed restrictions that have been required by the City as part of the
ADU/JADU development process to date,at no cost to the property owners.
Development Impact Fees
With the adoption of SB 13,the City is no longer required under the Mitigation Fee Act to assess impact fees
on all ADUs/JADUs. For those units smaller than 750 square feet(SF' ,no impact fees will be assessed. This
includes all JADUs, as these units are limited to 500 square feet pursuant to CVMC 19.58.023(A). For ADUs
750 SF or larger, the maximum impact fees to be charged will be calculated on a square footage basis,
proportional to the impact fees that would be charged for the primary structure on the lot. The effect of this
limit will vary depending on the size of the primary structure and the size of the ADU, as illustrated in the
table below.
Table Effect of Impact Fee Cap

At its October 22, 2019 meeting,the City Council placed an ordinance on first reading implementing SB 13 in
the context of the City's Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PF DIF) program (Chapter 3.50 of the
CVMC). In order to fully implement the new impact fee exemptions and calculations for ADUs and JADUs,
staff recommends, adopting Ordinance B, an omnibus ordinance amending all remaining City development
impact fee ordinances and Resolution C,amending the Council Policy establishing the Traffic Signal Fee and
the City's Master Fee Schedule.
Next Steps
Pzige 3
2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, Page 10 of 113
Staff administratively halted all new impact fee assessments as of'the enactment of SB 13. Contact is being
made to advise applicants of the change in.n law and how it will impact their individual projects. For those
projects that are currently in payment plan status,or have paid in full,staff is requesting Council direction as
to what impact fees.,if any, should be refunded.
In the coming months, staff will bring an ordinance implementing the remaining provisions of SB, 13 to the
Planning Commission and the City Council for consideration.
econd Reading,
The proposed ordinances were considered by the City Council on November 5, 2019. At the November 5
meeting,the Council modified Ordinance A. As proposed by staff, Ordinance A would have amended CVMC
Sections 19.58-022 and 19-58-023, removing the owner occupancy requirement for all ADUs and JADUs,
respectively. The amended ordinance placed on first reading by the Council retains the existing owner
occupancy language in CVMC Sections 19.58-022 and 19.58.023, but provides that such requirements shall
be held in abeyance until January 1, 2025. This sunset provision is consistent with the owner-occupancy
requirement prohibition in SB 13,which expires January 1,2025. No modifications were made the Ordinance
B,implementing development impact fee related provisions of SB 13.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staffhas reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of'the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act(Cal.Govt 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.
CURRENT-YEAR.FISCAL IMPACT
Approving an ordinance removing the owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs and JADUs has limited fiscal
impacts. The General Fund will incur the cost of releasing all associated deed restrictions recorded to date.
No fund appropriations for this purpose are requested.
Implementing SB 13's impact fee exemptions and reductions for ADUs and JADUs will result in reduced
development impact fee revenues. No impacts to capital project timing or the ability to pay debt service by
any impact fee program are anticipated to result from this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPAC Fir
Implementing SB 13's impact fee exemptions and reductions for ADUs and JADUs will result in reduced
development impact fee revenues. No impacts to capital project timing or the ability to pay debt service by
any impact fee program are anticipated to result from this action.

Hello neighbor,
2019-11-12 Agenda Pack-%ePage 28 of 113
I'm writing to you because you had questions about ADUs in the past, or because you're a homeowner
in our beautiful city.
Tomorrow night at Spm(October 1"),the council will vote on removing owner-occupancy
requirements for Accessory Dwelling Units(aka Granny Flats)and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units(aka
Garage Conversions).
Do you have any thoughts on this topic?
I am concerned that there might be an unfair advantage to existing landlords which might lead to over-
speculation on traditional housing stock in Chula Vista.
On the other hand,allowing non-owner occupied multifamily housing on existing parcels could provide
additional low-income rental housing throughout Chula Vista,which is a problem for our entire region.
I do not know what other cities or what the state will be doing in this regard. I've heard that the state
will be issuing new regulations mid-October.
Note:the council is not considering changing fee structures or providing pre-approved plans to make
building ADUs easier at this time.
Please come to the meeting or email me with your thoughts/concerns.

Would this cause a rezoning...as in 2 on 1 leading to apartments? Where I am,absolutely for NO rezoning. Next door,
they just built a granny flat... this house already has 4 cars, no garage as it's too small for today's cars(plus it's full of
"stuff'). We already have too many renters with no concern about how the yards look,or noisy parties,or one house
with 4 dogs(that are not cleaned up after they go on our yards). These flats turn into non grannys...out to make a buck
like bnbs(spelling?)
How many on council have renters,granny flats,garage conversions,etc.next to them?
I'm flying out of town in a couple days, 1 won't be able to attend.
PS what are the owner-occcupancy requirements?

same subject. only with this additional option, of course there can be other results. of course
depending on the power of the $$ and interest in the area as an investment.
Most of the newer homes (built in the past 10 years) don't have sufficient property to do much of
anything. I would never do it, but if it was zoned to allow it or by this new agenda item, I could easily
build two apartments in my back yard and still have room for a garden. Not much of any in the East
Lake area would do that unless Pacific Islander families as they have. The point being that this will be
restricted to older areas on the most part. one area as an example where building has been done
without permits (that is what I have been told) in the residential areas just north of Harborside
Elementary School and all around that area. Next to where my daughter and son in law live which is
less than 300 feet from that school is pretty ghetto. The streets are very narrow, already grossly
overpopulated from the building and the streets packed with cars to beyond it's capacity. In my
daughters back yard, there is an apartment, a two car garage, and room for a couple more
apartments. The apartment is used like for storage. But the driveway can hold up to 4 cars or trucks.
The point is that outside investors could and would build and use them as multi rental locations for
income and it would be a ghetto as is that area I reference. Not an area for people with a desire to
move on up. There are certainly some positive aspects, but seems it is probably an answer to the
need of low income housing. Or seems that way in the long run. 1 could go on and on with both the
positive and negative, but for the most part it is negative for Chula Vista west of 805 as well as east to
the end of Chula Vista. A bit ghetto....
Good luck in solving this issue, Michael

Thank you, Michael. This rule change would allow for multiple tenants, not related, with the owner of the
property being an investor/corporation/out-of-state landlord.
Do you have any thoughts on that?

Thanks for thinking of me. I agree that it could cause a huge problem and at the
same time in some ways Alleviate some problems.
Pluses;
*Enable the building of a granny flat for family or other family members, even up to two
stories for even both.
*Enable an owner to build for rental purposes to increase income in retirement...up to two
stories too. For family members.
*Add substantial value to the property if and when the property is sold. Especially if
property is large as in Bonita.
**Add to the city tax base so the city has a greater income from property tax, building
permit fees and more.
**Add to the tax base for education and more from the increase in property value. For the
city, county and more.
Negatives;
*over population of people, pets, all requiring more police and city services.
z
2019-11-12 Agenda Pack-%ePage 33 of 113
*Parking, parking, parking. Overload of cars on the streets, wear and tear on the area
streets , congestion and more.
*Trash, trash, trash. 25%-50% increase of trash, air pollution, and need for disposal.
costs greatly increase.
*Utilities; Greater use of water, electricity, gas, sewer.
*Greater crime; Possible holding areas for illegal immigrants, drug manufacturing, Storage
of???
*Public services; Increase by 25% to 50 to include possible greater increase in school
age kids.
*If the property is built and is in some way connected to the original house, then the
increase in permits and more will be far less because it will be considered an addition and
not a separate building. Makes a huge difference in skirting fees... codes are codes.
see or for see headaches, headaches and more unless really controlled and
monitored.....oh gosh, that would create a substantial need for city employees in all areas
from code control, police, fire service and more......GMG..
Hope I have come up with a bit more than you have already thought of. Sadly most is
not good.
Be well and good luck... Michael

Hi Savannah,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My concern is that the vote on the ordinance is to change two sections of the
municipal code to say:
19.58.022(c)(12) "The property owner(s)shall not be required to reside on the lot on which the accessory dwelling unit
is located or constructed."
19.58.023(8)(2)"owner-occupancy is not required in the single family residence in which the junior accessory dwelling
unit will be permitted."
There is no vote on fees.

I fear that the changes to our municipal code might squeeze out home ownership and cause homeowners like yourself
frustrations.
What happens if the house next door to yours builds an ADU or more, rents out rooms,and is owned/managed by
someone out of state? How does that impact public safety, preserve the right of our future generations to hope to own
a home in our city to build wealth for themselves?

Email Thanks Jill,
We feel owners should be able to establish an accessory dwelling. Particularly for the need for our generation to care
for our elderly parents eventually. I know I would consider building a granny flat when the time comes to care for my
parents. However,We feel this should be limited to one accessory dwelling(ex garage conversion or Granny flat).This
would prohibit an owner from renting a back granny,a garage,a room in the house, etc which would cause
overcrowding in neighborhoods.Thanks for asking our opinion.

I'm out of town and won't be returning til Wed. evening, so can't attend the council
meeting. I share your concerns about granny flats. I have no problem with providing
family members with residences close enough to allow for family care while maintaining
independence. I'm opposed to them being used as real estate income. I think we have
enough housing in this city, regardless of what the state or other council members want.
We are pushing the limits of maintenance of infrastructure as it is, not to mention the
strain on natural resources and traffic glut.

My feelings are that if the property owner is not on the premises,two tenants in two structures could be
irresponsible neighbors. Buyers could buy multiple properties here on the west side where our lots are often
deeper and build granny flats,rent all properties and the renters don't feel any stake in the community or for the
property. our nice quiet single family neighborhoods will be no longer nice and quiet.
Thank you for considering my concerns and representing me at the council meeting. We are unable to attend

lots are typically larger. Why would we want our beautiful neighborhoods to become more dense?
It is a backhanded way of changing a single family zoned neighborhood into a multi family neighborhood
without changing zoning. Parking and traffic are already a problem in many neighborhoods. This would make it
worse. our quality of life would be negatively impacted. I am a landlord with 3 single family dwellings and
could greatly benefit financially but the negatives far outweigh any financial benefit. This short term solution to
a perceived housing problem would lead to long term negative impacts on west Chula Vista

External Hi Jill
Email I believe there is a real problem with removing the owner occupancy requirements. There are already
many non-owner occupied properties in chula vista and many of those are not well taken care of. In
general, renters just do not care about the neighborhood the way that owners do. I believe this will cause a flood of
non-owner occupied building additions and effectively doubling the density of our current neighborhoods and create
slums. Also,there is not enough street parking as it is. Every street is full of parked cars. Please, at least maintain the
requirement for parking on the property.
Thanks

Honorable Mary Salas

Chula Vista.,CA 91910
Agenda Item 5--Support Removal of ADU&JADU Homeowner occupancy Requirement
Dear Mayor Salas and Chula Vista City Councilmembers:
The Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS®(PSAR)strongly supports the City of Chula Vista's removal of the
city's Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU)and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit(JADU)Homeowner Occupancy
requirements and the proposed reduction of Permit Processing and Development Impact Fees(DIFs).
PSAR supports the Staff report recommendation to remove the ADLJ&JADU Homeowner Occupancy requirement and
release other ADU&JADU owners from prior deed restrictions.
We encourage you to support the Staff report's recommendation to remove the ADUIJADU Homeowner Occupancy
requirement and look forward to the final staff proposal regarding the reduction and financing of ADU&JADU DIFs.
PSAR understands that your staff will return with the remaining changes in your ADU ordinance that will implement the
rest of the SB 13 ADUIJADU requirements.
The California Association of REALTORS is monitoring municipal regulations that would reduce the production of
new housing units.Local housing regulations are being reviewed by Californians for Homeownership(CFH)to ensure
local regulations are not stifling the production of new housing.A guide that was produced by CFH regarding mandatory
changes that will be required by SB 13 is attached to this letter.
PSAR urges you to come back at the beginning of the year with the recommended changes to the ADU and Junior ADU
that meet the changes mandated by SB 13.
Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations and your support of expanding housing opportunities in the
City of Chula Vista.
Sincerely,

2019-11-12 Agenda Pack-%ePage 45 of 113
On January 1, 2020, it will become easier to build Accessory Dwelling Units in California,thanks
to a package of new bills. These bills invalidate local ADU ordinances across the state and
replace them with state-mandated rules. Here are some highlights of California's new ADU law:
CA f'4.!4:■o-..c 44' .� wk rqi jy.. ■ 04 +!"' ewc 7..,*f••a•.s.+.!+"'�nr «� 7R ► '
• Cities must approve ADU applications within 60 days,without a hearing or discretionary review.
• For ADUs permitted by 2025, cities cannot require the owner to live at the property.
• Cities cannot charge any impact fees for ADUs under 750 sqft;fees for larger ADUs are limited.
• Homeowners associations must allow the construction of ADUs. t
• ADUs can be developed at the same time as a primary unit, under most of the same rules.
• A city must delay code enforcement against an existing unlawful ADU to allow it to be legalized.

ADUs Subject to Automatic Approval — No Local Limits
Cities must permit certain categories of ADU without applying any focal development standards
(e.g., limits on lot size, unit size, parking,height,setbacks, landscaping,or aesthetics), if proposed on
a lot developed with one single-family home.ADUs eligible for this automatic approval include:
• An ADU converted from existing space in the home or another structure(e.g.,a garage),so
long as the ADU can be accessed from the exterior and has setbacks sufficient for fire safety.
• A new detached ADU that is no larger than 800 sqft, has a maximum height of 16 feet,and
has rear and side setbacks of 4 feet.
• Both of the above options(creating two ADUs), if the converted ADU is smaller than 500 sqft.
ADUs Subject to Ministerial Approval --- Minimal Local Limits
Even if not subject to automatic approval, a city generally must approve any attached or detached
ADU under 1,200 sqft unless the city adopts a new ADU ordinance setting local development
standards for ADUs. If a city adopts such an ordinance, it must abide by the following restrictions:
■ No minimum lot size requirements.
• No maximum unit size limit under 850 sqft (or 1,000 sqft for a two-bedroom ADU).
• No required replacement parking when a parking garage is converted into an ADU.
• No required parking for an ADU created through the conversion of existing space or located
within a half-mile walking distance of a bus stop or transit station.
• If the city imposes a floor area ratio limitation or similar rule,the limit must be designed to
allow the development of at least one 800 sqft attached or detached ADU on every lot.
Adding Units to Multifamily properties
For the first time,the new laws allow units to be added to multifamily buildings.Cities must permit
these types of units in multifamily buildings without applying any local development standards:
• New units within the existing non-living space of a building(e.g.,storage rooms, basements,
or garages).At least one unit and up to%of the existing unit count may be created this way.
• Two new homes on the same lot as the multifamily building but detached from it,with 4-foot
side and rear setbacks and a 16-foot maximum height.

I was in attendance at the City Council meeting and unfortunately didn't get my name in to
speak. Even though SB 13 ties the city's hands in a lot of ways, I think there are some regulations that the city
should consider for ADU's that I believe are not addressed in the bill. Here are some issues that need to be
addressed..
1)ADU 's should be restricted on use as short term rentals(Airbnb,VRBO, etc.).
The purpose of SB 13 is to promote housing affordability, not promote businesses on R1 zoned
neighborhoods.This is a rising business and not just in coastal areas. I fear if there is not at least a Owner
Occupancy "use" requirement (not building or establishing requirement)for use as short term rentals, we will
be seeing ADU's designed and built for that purpose and we will be converting our neighborhoods into areas
of"Mini Hotels" ESPECIALLY near back the new Bayfront Development.
2)What happens after 2025?
So I build an ADU as an investor in the next few years, now 2025 comes and the city decides, if statute
allows, to revert back to the Owner Occupancy rules. Am I grandfathered in? If not, I will have to either move
into my rental property or sell. This would not be fair to anyone. If an ADU is established or permitted with no
Owner Occupancy requirement,then they should be grandfathered in if the ordinance should change back.
Thank you for your reading this. Please contact me if you would like to discuss further. I am presently an ADU
owner and have worked with PSAR on this issue for awhile.

0 9-
1 9 DECLARING THE NECESSITY TO INCUR A BONDED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE BAYFRONT PROJECT
SPECIAL TAX FINANCING DISTRICT'To BE SECURED BY SPECIAL TAXES LEVIED WITHIN SUCH DISTRICT
TO FINANCE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMEND w
DACTION
Council adopt the resolution amending Resolution No. 2019-169.
SUMMARY
On September 10, 2019, the City Council took several actions furthering the formation process for the
planned Chula Vista Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District (the "Bayfront District" . One such
action was a resolution declaring the necessity of the Bayfront District to incur a bonded indebtedness to
finance certain authorized facilities and setting the maximum bonded indebtedness at $125,0010,000. Staff
recommends amending the resolution to increase the maximum bonded indebtedness for the Bayfront
District to $'175,000,01001.
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 15,378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of the
creation of a governmental fiscal/funding mechanism which does not result in a physical change in the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 150, 01(c (3) oft e State CEA Guidelines, the activity is not
subject to CEA.'"Thus,no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista has initiated proceedings to form.the Bayfront District. On September 10, 2019,the
Council approved the following three resolutions furthering the formation of the district:
1. Resolution 2019-167, adopting a map showing the boundaries of the territory proposed to be
included in the Bayfront District;
v . 01 (,) l Pzige 1
2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, gage 48 of 1 1 a3
2. Resolution 2019-168, declaring the intention of the City Council to establish the Bayfront District
and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein to finance public and private improvements and
maintenance services (the"Resolution of Intent"); and
3. Resolution 2019-169, declaring the necessity to incur a bonded indebtedness of the Bayfront
District, to be secured by special taxes, to be levied within the district to finance public and private
improvements (the"Bonded Indebtedness Resolution").
The Bonded Indebtedness Resolution established a maximum bonded indebtedness for the Bayfront.
District of$12,5,000,000. The Resolution of Intent and the Bonded Indebtedness Resolution each also set
public hearings to be held contemporaneously on October 15, 2019 to consider (a) the establishment of'the
Bayfront District and the authorization to levy the special tax therein and (b) the necessity for and
authorization of the Bayfront District to incur a bonded indebtedness. On October 15, 2,019, the public
hearings were continued to November 5, 2019.
At the November 5, 2019 City Council meeting, staff requested direction from the Council to return with an
item increasing the maximum bonded indebtedness to $175,000,000. Staffs request was the result of
additional analysis of the reasonably foreseeable revenues to be generated by the Bayfront. District and
recognizing the value of maximizing future flexibility for the Bayfront. District. Amending the Bonded
Indebtedness Resolution does not authorize a bonded debt issuance,but rather secures,the future ability of
the Council to approve an indebtedness of' up to $175,000,000 for the Bayfront District, should they so
choose. The actual amount of the bond sale(s) will depend upon a number of factors, including interest
rates on the bonds. Council directed staff to return with an amended Bonded Indebtedness Resolution.
At the November 5 Council meeting, the public hearings were continued to November 19, 2019, to allow
sufficient time to provide notice of the increase in the amount of indebtedness of the Bayfront District
proposed to be authorized. Notice was published on November 8, 2019 in the Star News.
Future Actions
A combined public hearing will be held on November 19, 2019 to consider (a) the establishment of the
Bayfront District and the authorization to levy the special tax therein and (b) the necessity for and
authorization of the Bayfront District to incur a bonded indebtedness. There will be an election following
the public hearings for the landowners to vote on the authorization to levy special taxes, the authorization
to incur a bonded indebtedness of the Bayfront District and to establish an appropriations limit. Once the
votes are cast,Council will be requested to certify the results of the election.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT'
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,00�O 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 financing conflict of interest under California
Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8),for purposes of the Political Reform Act(Cal. Gov't
Code§8710o,et seq.).

2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, Page 49 of 113
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.
CURRENT-YEAR.FISCA1.IMPACT
All expenses incurred by the City in undertaking the proceedings to consider the formation of the Bayfront
District and subsequently authorizing, issuing, and selling bonds of the Bayfront District to finance the
acquisition and construction of eligible public facilities will be reimbursed from future Bayfront District
bond proceeds or special tax revenues, resulting in no net impact to the General Fund or the Development
Services Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approving the amended resolution increases the maximum bonded indebtedness for the Bayfront District
from $125,00�0,000 to $175,000,000. This action does not commit the Bayfront District to issue any bonded
debt. There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the City as a result of'this action.

RESOLUTION OF THE CI"T"Y COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADOPTING A PROJECT STAFFING AND
REVIEWING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND PARDEE HOMES, ,A CALIFORNIA
CORPORATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Pardee Homes is requesting City Council approval of a Staffing and Reviewing Agreement to review and.
process a proposed project in advance of requesting a Pre-annexation Agreement for consideration by the
San Diego Focal Agency Formation Commission. L FCO) for approval of a reorganization to detach the
Pardee Homes Nakano property from the City of Chula Vista and attach it to the City of San.Diego.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed agreement for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality pct C QA and has determined that the activity is not a project as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of
the State CIA Guidelines,the activity is not subject to CLQA. The Development Services Director has also
reviewed the proposed agreement for additional compliance with CLQA and has determined that there is
no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to
Section. 15061(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CF A. Thus, no
environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Pardee's Nakano Property consists of 23.8 acres of uninhabited land located in the City of Chula Vista, east
of Interstate 805 and south of the otay Valley Regional Park adjacent to the jurisdictional boundaries of
Chula Vista and.San.Diego (See Attachment No. 1 .
The property is currently zoned A8 (Agricultural). The purpose of the zone was to provide for appropriate
uses for undeveloped land that is rural in nature and not yet ready for urbanization.The zone was intended
1 l Pzige 1
2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, gage 58 of 1 1 a3
to preserve agricultural land that may be suited for eventual development as urban uses. It was also
applied to encourage proper timing for the economical provision of utilities, major streets, and other
facilities, so that orderly development would occur.
While the Nakano property is located in Chula Vista's jurisdiction, it is situated adjacent to the City of San
Diego's developed Ocean View Hills community. The property does not have direct access to Chula Vista
streets and utilities and, if developed, would likely be more efficiently served by the City of San Diego.
Future consideration by the San Diego LAFCO of a reorganization that would detach the Nakano Property
from Chula Vista and attach it to San Diego is recommended by staff. The future reorganization would
entail a sphere of influence boundary adjustment; and resolutions initiating an application with LAFCO to
change San Diego's and Chula Vista's sphere of influence boundaries and ultimately detach the Nakano
Property from Chula Vista and attach it to San Diego.
A joint Exercise of Powers Agreement ( EPA between San Diego, Chula Vista and the County of San Diego
was previously executed on January 30�, 1990. This agreement allowed the parties to acquire land for the
development of the Otay Valley Regional Park (DVRP . As a result of the JEPA, Chula Vista and San Diego
entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent(LOI) to cooperate with each other in developing an Otay Valley
Regional Park Reorganization Plan that would propose reorganizing properties in the vicinity of the OVRP,
including attaching the Nakano Property to San Diego. On August 5, 2002,San Diego passed Resolution No.
R-296937 adopting the LOL On August 6, 2002, Chula Vista passed Resolution No. 2002-285 approving the
LOI. A copy of the LOI is on file with the City Clerk as Document No. RR-296937.
Three properties were identified as part of the approved LOI, with the expressed purpose of exploring the
reorganization of jurisdictional boundaries surrounding the OVRP - Nakano-Davies (Pardee), Ranchero
Rios, and West Fairfield. The property owners, and city staffs made several unsuccessful attempts to
pursue the annexation of the identified properties but the properties remain today in the same
jurisdictions as they did in 2002. Although the LCI eventually expired, Pardee has made multiple attempts
over more than 17 years to align efforts with the other property owners and the cities of Chula Vista and
San Diego. In fact, in 2017, Pardee once again began exploring the possibility of'annexation but was unable
to reach a commitment from the other property owners.
Pardee has now requested that the City formally begin work to review their proposed project in
conjunction with the City of San Diego, and in the future, to process a Pre-annexation Agreement, and
formally enter the LAFCO process. The Council Action requested is for the approval of a Staffing and
Reviewing Agreement (Attachment No. 2) that would reimburse the City for staff time to review and
process the required project reviews and approvals in conjunction with the City of'San Diego.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of'the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,00�O feet oft e 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)(7) or (8),for purposes of the Political Reform Act(Cal. Gov't
Code§8710o,etseq.)I.
Pzige 2
2019-11-12 Agenda Packet, Page 59 of 113
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 decisionmaker conflict of interest in this matter.
CUMENT-YEAR.FISCA1.IMPMT
Staff costs to process this agreement are included in the current year budget
ONGOING FISCAL IMPAC MY
Ongoing costs to review and process future actions will be borne by the project applicant in accordance
with the Staffing and Reviewing Agreement.

7.3 Cessation of Work. Pardee understands that the City has relied on its representation that
Pardee intends to continue to process its Proposed Project in San Diego and requires Chula Vista's
performance of Implementation Tasks for the term of this Agreement and as a result of this
representation, the City will assign specific City employees, hire new City employees and enter into
employment contracts with Temporary Expert Professionals to work on the review of such Proposed
Project Submittals and performance of Implementation Tasks. In the event the review of the Proposed
Project Submittals or performance of Implementation Tasks is suspended or stopped for any reason,
except as provided by Section 7.2, such that work is not required by the Project Staff (Cessation of

of Work has occurred,as described in Section 7.3.2.
7.3.1 Written Notification. Pardee shall provide immediate written notification to

agrees to make a good faith effort to reassign the Project Staff to other cost recoverable work should there
be a decrease of hours required of the Project Staff in processing the Proposed Project Approvals and
performing Implementation Tasks during anygiven quarter. Upon the occurrence of this default by
Pardee, the City may terminate this Agreement after providing Pardee with thirty (30) calendar days
written notice specifying the alleged default and the cure for such default. The City shall not be obligated

J. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHAPTER 15.36 OF THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2019 EDITION (FIRST'READING)
RECOMMEND EDACTION
Council place the ordinances on first reading.
SUMMARY
The California Building Standards Commission has mandated that jurisdictions within the State start
enforcing the 2019 Editions of the California building codes on January 1, 2020. The adoption of California
building codes is a routine action undertaken by the City in response to State adopted building codes. This
action allows the City to incorporate appropriate local amendments into the enforcement program.
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 qualifies for a Class 8 Categorical
Exemption pursuant to Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment)
of the State CEQA Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the Director of Development Services has also
determined that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment;
therefore, pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is exempt from the
provisions of CEQA. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Appeals and Advisors at their Monday, October 14, 2019 meeting unanimously recommended
adoption of the various 2019 Editions of the California building codes.
DISCUSSION
As mandated by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), jurisdictions within the State shall
begin enforcing the 2019 Editions of the California building codes on January 1,2020. Every three years.,the
State adopts and amends the newest model codes published by the various independent code-developing
bodies. New State building codes take effect one-hundred and eighty(1.80) days after they are published to
allow local jurisdictions time to adopt local amendments to the State building codes before they take effect.
Local amendments cannot be less restrictive than the State building codes and must be based on findings
that the amendments are necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Local
amendments are not effective until the amendments have been filed with the CBSC.
Most of the proposed local amendments currently exist in our Municipal Code,as amendments to the current
building codes adopted by the City and are being proposed for re-adoption as the City adopts the 2019 codes.
The 2019 California codes are updated editions to the current codes that are enforced locally and throughout
the state and therefore it should not be difficult for staff and the industry to incorporate into their current
practices.
The following are brief discussions on the various ordinances adopting the 2019 building codes:

wiring Requirements. 'The reason for proposing not to re-adopt 15-24.065 is that the pre-wiring that has
been installed because of 15.24.065 has seldomly been used by Photovoltaic (P,V)installers.PV installers are
reluctant to use conduits installed by others due to unknown workmanship and concern of liability. In
addition, the 2019 Energy Code compels new residential developments to install PV systems on new
residential homes, and requires new homes to be solar-ready. The requirements of 15.24.065 have not
facilitated the installation of PV,and therefore; staff sees no benefit in continuing to require it.
Proposed Ordinance "H" - 2019 California Ener,gy ode
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2019 California Energy Code and proposes,the re-adoption of'15.2,6,.020,
Outdoor lighting zones. Section 15.26.030, Reduced power allowance for specific outdoor lighting
applications, is not proposed for re-adoption because the reduced allowances in 15.26.030 are in the 2019
California Energy Code and therefore; there is no need for the amendment.
Proposed Ordinance "I" - 2019 California Plumbing Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2019 California Plumbing Code and proposes the re-adoption of
15-28.020,Residential Graywater Stub-out.Staff proposes to not re-adopt 15-28.015,Solar Water Heater Pre-
Pzige 13

plumbing. The reason for not re-adopting 15.2,8.015 is that,despite State incentives,homeowners have not
shown interest in installing Solar Hot Water Heaters (SHWH)..Based on our tracking system,since 2010,only
five (5) residential systems were installed. In addition,similar to pre-wiring for photovoltaic,installers are
reluctant to use conduits installed by others due to unknown workmanship and concern of liability. The
requirements of 15.28.015 have not facilitated the installation of SHWH systems,and therefore-staff sees no
benefit in continuing to require it.
Proposed Ordinance "I" - 2019 California Fire Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2019 California Fire Code and proposes the re-adoption of existing local
amendments, with minor adjustments,to the current Fire Code adopted by the City. Additionally, two new
amendments under 15.36.06,0 and 15,.36.06,5 have been added to adjust the location of standpipe hose
connections and to memorialize vegetation clearances,respectively.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings ofthe City Council members do not create 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.
CURRENT-YEAR.FISCAL IMPACT
There are no increases in fees proposed in this adoption. The cost of new code books and related training is
included in the current year's budget.Building permit fees may need to be adjusted to recover the cost of any
additional staff time associated with plan review and inspection. Any additional staff time will be accounted
for in updates to building permit fees.
ONGOING FISCAIIMPACT
No ongoing fiscal impact. Any additional building permit review and inspection time associated with
implementing these ordinances will be funded through updated building permit fees.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING
CHAPTER 15.28 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE
ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE, 2019
EDITION
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:
Section I. Amended Chapter 15.28
That Chapter 15.28 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended to read
as follows:
Chapter 15.28
PLUMBING CODE*
Sections:
15.28.010 California Plumbing Code, 2016 2019 Edition, adopted by reference.
15.28.015 Solar Water Heater Pre-Plumbing.
15.28.020 Residential Graywater Stub-out.
15.28.010 California Plumbing Code, 20162019 Edition, adopted by reference.
There is hereby adopted by reference the California Plumbing Code, 2016 2019 Edition,
known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 5, including Appendices A, B, D, H,
I, and J, and excluding Chapter 1, Division II of that document as copyrighted by the
International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials and the California Building
Standards Commission. Said document is hereby adopted as the plumbing code of the City of
Chula Vista for regulating the complete installation, maintenance and repair of plumbing,
drainage systems, water systems, gas systems, and private sewage disposal systems on all
properties and within all buildings and structures in the City. Chapter 15.06 CVMC shall serve as
the administrative, organizational and enforcement rules and regulations for this chapter.
15.28.015 Solar Water Heater Pre-Plumbing.
All new residential units shall include plumbing specifically designed to allow the later
installation of a system which utilizes solar energy as the primary means of heating domestic
potable water. No building permit shall be issued unless the requirements of this section and the
Chula Vista Solar Water Heater Pre-Plumbing Installation Requirements are incorporated into
the approved building plans.
The provisions of this chapter can be modified or waived when it can be satisfactorily
demonstrated to the building official that the requirements of this section are impractical due to
shading,building orientation, construction constraints or configuration of the parcel.
Ordinance No.
Page 2
15.28.020 Residential Graywater Stub-out.
All new detached single-family dwellings and duplexes shall include a single-source clothes
washer graywater outlet and an outside stub-out to allow the later installation of a clothes washer
graywater irrigation system that complies with the requirements of Section 4-50-21503.1.1 of the
201 2019 California Plumbing Code. The outlet and stub-out shall be installed in accordance
with the Chula Vista Clothes Washer Graywater Pre-Plumbing and Stub-Out for New
Residential Construction or an equivalent alternate method and/or material approved by the
Building Official.
The provisions of this Section may be modified or waived when it can be satisfactorily
demonstrated to the Building Official that compliance with these regulations is impractical due
to construction or physical constraints, or due to site and/or soil conditions.
Section II. Findings and Declaration
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista specifically and expressly finds and declares that
adding section 15.28.015 to Chapter 15.28 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a
result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods of heat waves, average load demand
and peak load demand of energy used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public
safety and adverse economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Facilitating the
installation of solar water heating systems will have local and regional benefits in the reduction
of total and peak energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The City Council specifically and expressly finds and declares that adding section 15.28.020 to
Chapter 15.28 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a result of prolonged droughts
exacerbated by climate change, it is anticipated that water supplies from imported sources are
reduced, and furthermore, as a result of population and economic growth, demand for water is
expected to increase. These impacts could limit imported water availability, lead to higher
demand for local water sources and increase utility costs. Requiring single-source graywater
stub-out in new residential development facilitates the use of graywater for irrigation which in
turn helps address these water-related climate change impacts.
Section II1. Severability
If any portion of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for
any reason held to be invalid, unenforceable or unconstitutional, by a court of competent
jurisdiction, that portion shall be deemed severable, and such invalidity, unenforceability or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of the
Ordinance, or its application to any other person or circumstance. The City Council of the City of
Chula Vista hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, sentence, clause or phrase
of this Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, sentences, clauses
or phrases of the Ordinance be declared invalid,unenforceable or unconstitutional.
Section IV. Construction
Ordinance No.
Page 3
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista intends this Ordinance to supplement, not to
duplicate or contradict, applicable state and federal law and this Ordinance shall be construed in
light of that intent.
Section V. Effective Date
This ordinance will take effect and be in force thirty days after final passage but not before
January 1,2020.
Section VI. Publication
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the
same to be published or posted according to law.
