McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC, owner of the property located in McMillin Otay Ranch Village 6, R-3',
has requested the vacation of a Wall Maintenance and Access Easement located along the rear of
Lots 1 through 29.

RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a Resolution Ordering the Summary Vacation of
portion of an easement called out as "2' Wall Maintenance and Access Easement" of Map No.
14493.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None.
DISCUSSION:
Map No. 14493, Chula Vista Tract No. 02-03 McMillin Otay Ranch Village 6 R-3, was recorded
November 19, 2002 and included a dedication to the City of Chula Vista, ora 2' Wall Maintenance
and Access Easement. The City of Chula Vista accepted the dedication on said Map. The purpose
of the easement was to maintain a perimeter wall encompassing the McMillin Otay Ranch Village 6,
R-3 subdivision. A 2-foot wall easement, dedicated to the City of Chula Vista on Map No. 14615,
extends an wall easement around the Otay Ranch Company's Village Six property. The portion of
the 2' Wall Maintenance and Access Easement along lots 1 through 29 is no longer needed and will
therefore be maintained by a homeowners association.
Chapter 4, Section 8333 of the California Streets and Highways Code allows a public service
easement to be summarily vacated provided that the easement was relocated and that there are no
public utilities within said easement. The portion of the 2 foot Wall and Maintenance Easement was
replaced with the wall easement granted on Map No. 14615 and there are no public utilities in said
easement. Therefore the portion of the 2 foot Wall and Maintenance Easement, along lots 1 through
29, may be summarily vacated.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution Vacating an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of Fee
Interest for Park Purposes to the City of Chula Vista over Lot 5 of Map
No.13649, Chula Vista Tract No. 98-04, McMillin Otay Ranch SPA One,
Phase 2.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Engineering
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~O~0e/ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No~
McMillin Otay Ranch LLC, wishes to process a summary vacation for thc existing Irrevocable Offer
of Dedication of Fee Interest for Park Purposes to the City of Chula Vista to be consistent with a Lot
Linc Adjustment Parcel Map that is being processed by thc City.
In accordance with Section 7050 of thc California Government Code and Chapter 4, Section 8300 et.
seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code, this type of vacation may be performed
summarily through adoption of a resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a Resolution Vacating an Irrevocable Offer of
Dedication of Fee Interest to the City of Chula Vista over Lot 5 of Map No. 13649, of Chula Vista
Tract No. 98-04, McMillin Otay Ranch SPA One, Phase 2 and directing the City Clerk to record the
Resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None.
DISCUSSION:
Map No. 13649, Chula Vista Tract No 98-04, McMillin Otay Ranch SPA One, Phase 2, was
recorded on October 15, 1998 and included a dedication of Lot 5 for Public Park Purposes which
was acknowledged on behalf of the City of Chula Vista for Park Purposes as shown on said Map,
noting that section 7050 of the Government Code of the State of California provided that an Offer of
Dedication shall remain open and subject to future acceptance by the City. The offer has not been
accepted by the City to date.
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 7/15/03
Due to certain conditions during construction of the multi family site the lot line between Lots 4
and 5 of Map No. 13649 has to be adjusted. Rick Engineering on behalf of their client McMillin
Otay Ranch, LLC submitted a Lot Line Adjustment Parcel Map for the boundary between Lot 4
and Lot 5 of Map No. 13649. McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC currently owns Lot 5, Which has been
dedicated for a public park and Eagle Lomas Verdes owns Lot 4, which is designated
multifamily residential. The lot line adjustment, now in process, would move the southerly
property line of Lot 4 to the south a maximum distance of 3.64 feet adding 0.032 acres to Lot 4
(see Exhibit "A"). This creates a reduction in lot size of 0.032 acres, which represents a park
deficit of 0.032 acres on McMillin's total park obligation for Otay Ranch SPA One.
In lieu of the parkland dedication of 0.032 acres staff negotiated with McMillin to have the
Developer cover the cost of processing the park's lot line adjustment to enable the City to accept
the irrevocable offer of dedication (IOD) for an unencumbered park site. The expenditure
qualifies as park improvement, under the terms of chapter 17.10 of the City of Chula Vista
municipal code, since without it the City cannot accept the IOD nor open the park. This course
of action better serves the residents of SPA One than attempting to locate the ! 394 square feet,
0.032 acres of suitable parkland. The net useable area of Santa Cora Park is not impacted by this
decision.
In order for the Engineering Department to approve this Lot Line Adjustment Parcel Map, the
Irrevocable offer of Dedication (IOD) for Park Purposes dedicated on Map 13649 over lot 5
needs to be vacated. A new IOD for Public Park Purposes will be dedicated on the Lot Line
Adjustment Parcel Map and will be consistent with the new boundary. Staff recommends that
the Clerk be directed to record the vacation after the approval and recordation of the Lot Line
Adjustment parcel map. This vacation will be contingent on the recordation of the Lot Line
Adjustment Parcel Map and if for some reason the Lot Line Adjustment Parcel Map does not
record, then the vacation of the IOD will not record as well. This will ensure that the City will
have an IOD for Public Park Purposes over the park site until accepted by the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: The costs related to the processing of this request for vacation are being paid
for by a deposit of monies by McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC under the City's Full Cost Recovery
System.

Resolution Approving the deferral of assessments and establishing

District 2001-3
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Engineering~
REVIEWED BY: City Manage ~ i>~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes No X )
On June 18, 2002, pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Improvement Act of 1911 (the "Block Act") and
Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California ("Article XIIID'), Council adopted
Resolution No. 2002-208 awarding a contract in the amount of$15,870 to Portillo Construction for
the construction of sidewalk improvements on D Street between Third Avenue and Landis Avenue.
The work is now complete and improvements have been accepted by the City Manager. A resolution
must now be approved to accept filing of the Engineer's Report on the cost of construction and to set
the public hearing on the assessments.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolutions:
1. Accepting filing of the Engineer's Report on the cost of construction of the sidewalk
improvements on D Street between Third Avenue and Landis Avenue;
2. Setting August 19, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. as the date and time for the public hearing on the
proposed assessments for the sidewalk improvements on D Street;
3. Approving the deferral of assessments and establishing the rate of interest and financing
period.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On December 11, 2001 Council adopted Resolutions 2001-428, 2001-429 and 2001-430
(Attachment A). Resolution 2001-428 accepted a petition signed by property owners at 305, 311, 317
and 321 D Street for the formation of an assessment district pursuant to the Block Act to finance the
construction of missing sidewalk improvements along the north side of D Street. Resolution 2001-
430 approved the proposed district boundary map. Resolution 2001-429 declared the intent to form
Assessment District No. 2001-3, approved the preliminary Assessment Engineer's Report, ordered
the installation of improvements, set a public hearing for February 5, 2002 at 4:00 pm (which was
Page 2, Item u~
Meeting Date 7/15/03
subsequently continued to February 26, 2003), and ordered the initiation of Assessment Ballot
proceedings.
The following cost information was obtained from the Preliminary Engineer's Report and was
included on the property owners' Assessment Ballots as the amount of the assessment proposed to be
levied against each respective parcel. The total estimated construction cost, including the City's
share, was $23,233.00. These ballots were subsequently mailed to the property owners on January
10, 2003.
Preliminary
Address Parcel No. Amount
305 D Street 566-030-30 $6961.00
311 D Street 566-030-54 $5850.00
317 D Street 566-030-25 $5969.00
321 D Street 566-030-23 $ 979.00
PROPERTY OWNERS' TOTAL $19,759.00
On February 26, 2003 Council held the public hearing on the D Street sidewalk improvements.
There was no public testimony, so the hearing was closed and ballots were tabulated. Since all
property owners voted in favor of the proposed assessments, Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-
058 (Attachment B), which ordered the installation of improvements in accordance with Article
XIlID of the California Constitution.
In accordance with Section 20852 of the Public Contract Code, the City advertised and obtained
sealed bids as part of a formal bidding process and awarded the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. Out of the six firms that submitted bids, Portillo Concrete was the lowest at $15,870. On
June 18, 2002 Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-208 (Attachment C) awarding the contract for
construction of sidewalk improvements on D Street to Portillo Concrete.
Portillo Construction completed the construction of improvements, as discussed in the January 2,
2003 memorandum to the City Manager (Attachment D). A final inspection was made, all work was
found to be completed in accordance with the contract plans and specifications and to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer. Staff has now received, and the City has paid, all the contractual invoices for
this project. The amount paid to the contractor was $10,705.50. This reduction of $5,164.50 was
due to an adjustment in contract quantities. This project was accepted by the City Manager on
January 8, 2003.
Additionally, staff applied for and received a grant for Transportation Development Act (TDA)
funding from the San Diego Association ofGovemments (SANDAG). These funds can onlybe used
to finance the construction of sidewalks and design and advertising costs directly related to sidewalk
construction. As shown on the memorandum dated February 13, 2003 (Attachment E), the City was
able to finance $11,219.67 of the project cost from this grant, including $7,755.10 in construction
costs and $3,464.57 in staff and advertising costs. This leaves only $2,950.40 in construction costs
which need to be assessed to the property owners.
Staff has completed the accounting of the expenditures and apportionment to property owners, as
shown in the Engineer's Report (Attachment F). This document amends the Preliminary Engineer's
Report adopted by Council on December 11, 2001. Since the amounts now allocated to the property
Page 3, Item ~
Meeting Date 7/15/03
owners based on actual construction costs minus grant funding (totaling $2,950.40) are less than the
amounts originally included on the homeowners' ballots (totaling $19,759.00), an additional
assessment ballot proceeding will not be required. The following amounts will be assessed to each
property owner. These amounts are based only on construction costs for the driveway aprons. Since
the work at 321 D Street, which was originally included in the Assessment District, did not include a
driveway apron, this property will not be assessed for any improvements included in this contract.
Final
Preliminary Reduction Assessment
Address Parcel No. Amount Amount Amount
305 D Street 566-030-30 $6961.00 ($ 5638.63) $1322.37
311 D Street 566-030-54 $5850.00 ($ 4974.35) $ 875.65
317 D Street 566-030-25 $5969.00 ($ 5216.62) $ 752.38
321 D Street 566-030-23 $ 979.00 ($ 979.00) $ 0
PROPERTY OWNERS' TOTAL $19,759.00 ($16,808.60) $2950.40
Following confirmation of the final assessments, the property owners will have the option of paying
any portion of the assessments during the 30-day payoff period following acceptance of
improvements and confirmation of assessments. If assessments are not fully paid during that time,
Section 5895 of the Streets and Highways Code permits the City to collect the unpaid balance over a
maximum period often years, together with interest on the unpaid principal at a maximum rate of 7
pement per year. Based on the current interest rates, the City will charge 5 percent interest for a
period often years. Since there are only three property owners involved and the amount of principal
is minimal, staff will bill in-house annually. Property owners may pay the balance of their
assessments at any time during the 30-day repayment per~od without penalty. This period is
anticipated to commence on August 27, 2003, after the final district boundary map is recorded and
Notices of Assessment are maileed to property owners.
FISCAL IMPACT: A total of$54,000 was appropriated during Fiscal Year 2000_01 forplauning
and design work from the Gas Tax fund. Additionally, the Capital Improvement Program approved
for Fiscal Years 2001-03 appropriated an additional $218,000 from the Residential Construction Tax
(RCT) to cover construction costs, anticipati~'tg that all missing sidewalk would be constructed on
both sides of D Street between Third and Fourth Avenues. Due to the reduced scope of the project,
total construction costs are assumed to only be $10,705. The amount of $2,950.40 is expected to be
repaid to the City by property owners within 30 days (from August 27 through Friday September 26,
2003), or over a ten-year period at 5 percent interest.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
D STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS
191 1 ACT
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
AD 2001-3
MAY 29, 2003
Background
D Street between Third and Fourth Avenues in Chula Vista is a residential street with an
80-foot width of right-of-way. Existing improvements include pavement and curb in
front of all properties; however, several properties do not have sidewalks. On the north
side of D Street, the only properties which do not have sidewalk improvements are a
portion of 321 D Street, as well as 317, 311 and 305 D Street. In September 2001 these
four property owners submitted a petition to the City requesting thc initiation of
proceedings to form an assessment district in accordance with the Improvement Act of
1911. This district would finance the construction of the missing sidewalk improvements
on the north side olD Street.
Thc City currently has a policy regarding participation in 1911 Block Act proceedings.
According to this policy, the City will provide all engineering, inspection and
administrative services at no cost to thc property owners. Additionally, it is the City's
responsibility to relocate all existing public improvements which would be in conflict
with thc new improvements, including utilities. These costs have not been included in
the Engineer's Report, because they will not bc assessed to the property owners.
Subsequent to the construction of the improvements, the City obtained funding for the
construction of the sidewalks from the San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG). Therefore, the only cost that will be assessed to the property owners is the
cost of constructing the driveway aprons.
Overall Design and Cost Estimate
The project area and general location of improvements arc shown on the Assessment
Diagram for Assessment District 2001-3, D Street. The properties which will benefit
from these improvements and are a part of the district are as follows:
Address Parcel Number
317 D Street 566-030-25-00
311 D Street 566-030-54-00
305 D Street 566-030-30-00
Improvements included within this district consist of driveway aprons that provide a
transition between the street and the driveways. The improvements which will not be
assessed to property owners include a 5-foot wide sidewalk from the existing sidewalk
ending in front of 521 D Street to the curb return on Third Avenue north olD Street, as
well as a sidewalk ramp on the northwest comer of Third Avenue and D Street.
Originally, 321 D Street (APN 566-030-23-00) was included within the boundaries of
this district. However, a new driveway apron at this address was not included as part of
the construction work for this project, since the existing sidewalk ended east of the
2
existing driveway. Therefore, this property will not be assessed for any district costs and
will thus be excluded from the district.
The total estimated construction cost was $23,233.00, including the City's share. The
amount allocated to the property owners was estimated at $19,759.00. The latter amount
was used to calculate the property owners' ballot amounts. The lowest bid for this
project was $15,870.00, as shown on Table 1. This amount was subsequently reduced to
$10,705.50, due to an adjustment in contract quantities. After subtracting the amount of
the grant received from SANDAG for sidewalk construction, the remaining amount to be
assessed to the property owners is $2950.40.
Method of Apportionment
Costs must be apportioned to each property in proportion to the benefit received by that
property. In apportioning the cost of street improvements, it can generally be assumed
that the property adjacent to the improvements will receive the direct benefit. The
adjacent properties would be most likely to use the improvements, particularly with
respect to driveway aprons.
The City has obtained funding from SANDAG for most of the cost items included in the
contractor's bid, including removal and replacement of improvements, construction of a
4" PCC sidewalk and the pedestrian ramp at the comer of D Street and Third Avenue.
The only cost item that will be included in the assessment district is the 6" PCC
driveway. Based on the revised total quantity of 965.1 SF calculated by the City's
construction inspector, the total cost is $3,860.40. However, some of this amount relates
to the portion of sidewalk that runs through the driveway apron. This section was
estimated to cost $1,910.00 and was subtracted from the above figure to give a total of
$2950.40. This amount was not included in the grant and needs to be assessed to the
property owners.
The breakdown of construction costs among the three properties and the City is shown on
Table 2. For each property, the square footage of the driveway apron was individually
calculated based on both the measurements taken by the City's inspector during
construction in August 2002 and measurements made by the Assessment Engineer in
May 2003. The difference between the dimensions measured on both occasions was 0.20
feet at the most, which is within the expected accuracy of the measuring devices. The
areas calculated were then multiplied by $4.00, the unit cost for the 6" PCC driveways.
The total amount thus calculated for these costs totaled $2973.68 for all three properties.
There is a difference of $23.28 between this and $2950.40, the construction cost not
covered by the grant. Since this difference is less than one percent, it was decided that
the easiest way to reconcile these numbers would be to proportion out the difference
among the three properties.
3
The amounts to be assessed to the property owners based on the final construction costs
can thus be compared to the amounts estimated in the Preliminary Engineer's Report as
follows:
Assessor's Parcel No. Preliminary Assessment Final Assessment
566-030-30~00 $6,961.00 $1,322.37
566-030-54-00 $5,850.00 $ 875.65
566-030-25-00 $5,969.00 $ 752.38
566-030-23-00 $ 979.00 $ 0
TOTAL $19,759.00 $2,950.40
The Preliminary Assessment amounts were included on the ballots submitted to the
property owners and tallied in accordance with 3d'ticle XIIID of the California
Constitution. Since the Final Assessment amounts are all lower than the Preliminary
Assessment amounts, no additional ballot process is necessary.

the fees with the applicant to see if any opportunities for lower fees existed under the City's
current ordinances and regulations.

Meeting Date: 7/15/03
ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the City of Chula Vista Council waiving the
formal bidding process and approving a two-party agreement between the
City of Chula Vista and RECON for consulting services to prepare an
environmental impact report (EIR) for the City's General Plan Update, and
authorizing the Mayor to execute s~d agreement.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and Buildi~gl(~
0w (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manage c~
The item before the City Council is a request to waive the formal bidding process and approve a
two-party agreement with RECON for consulting services to prepare an environmental impact
report (EIR) for the City's General Plan Update for an amount not to exceed $317,887, including a
15 percent contingency.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution waiving the formal bidding process and approving a two-
party agreement between the City of Chula Vista and RECON for consulting services to prepare an
environmental impact report (EIR) for the City's General Plan Update, and authorizing thc Mayor
to execute said agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City of Chula Vista is in the process of comprehensively updating its General Plan, which
was last comprehensively updated in 1989. An assessment of the potential environmental
impacts associated with the land use and transportation alternatives under consideration and the
preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) are integral components of this process.
Under an existing two-party agreement approved by the City Council on November 26, 2002,
RECON is in the process of finalizing ten (10) environmental baseline studies, each of which
addresses a specific environmental subject area. These studies provide baseline information on
existing conditions, plans, policies, and regulations and identify preliminary planning issues and
policy implications pertinent to the General Plan Update process. These studies will also be
utilized as the basis for the environmental setting in the General Plan Update EIR. The
agreement proposed at this time is for the preparation of the General Plan Update EIR.
Page 2, Item No.: ~
Meeting Date: 7/15/03
Consultant Services Selection Process
On July 18, 2002, a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the preparation of certain environmental
baseline studies in support of the General Plan Update was distributed to applicable firms included
on the City's list of qualified environmental consultants as well as to a number of prominent
environmental consulting f~rms throughout the State of Califomia not presently on the City's list.
In addition, the availability of the RFP was advertised on the Association of Environmental
Professionals, California Chapter website.
A total of five proposals were received in response to the RFP. After interviewing the four top-
rated firms, the Selection Committee determined that RECON demonstrated that they were the
most capable firm to perform the services as required for the preparation of the environmental
baseline studies. The City Council approved a two-party agreement with RECON to perform this
work on November 26, 2002.
In order to inform prospective proposers of the possibility that the City may elect to waive the
formal bidding process and negotiate exclusively with the selected proposer for the preparation of
the General Plan Update EIR, the following statement was included in Section V. (Authority of the
City of Chula Vista) of the RFP:
"The City of Chula Vista reserves the right to either negotiate exclusively with the selected
proposer for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan
Update or to issue a subsequent RFP for such work, in which case the selected proposer would be
eligible to submit a proposal for such work."
RECON has performed satisfactorily under the two-party agreement for the preparation of the
General Plan Update environmental baseline studies. The Environmental Review Coordinator
has determined that RECON has acquired in-depth knowledge of Chula Vista General Plan-
related environmental issues through the preparation of the environmental baseline studies as
well as through the presentation and discussion of these studies with the General Plan Update
Environment, Open Space, and Sustainable Development Subcommittee. The Environmental
Review Coordinator has determined that RECON's comprehensive familiarity with the Chula
Vista General Plan study area, coupled with the knowledge gained through the preparation of the
environmental baseline studies, makes RECON uniquely qualified to serve as the Consultant for
this project. It is staff's recommendation that the City Council waive the City's formal bidding
process on the grounds that competitive bidding is impractical and that it is in the City's best
interest to retain RECON as a consultant to meet the project schedule.
The Consultant represents that they are experienced and staffed in a manner such that they can
prepare and deliver the required services to the City within the necessary time frames. The
Environmental Review Coordinator has negotiated the details of this agreement in accordance with
procedures set forth in Section 6.5.2 of the Environmental Review Procedures.
Page 3, Item No.: ~
Meeting Date: 7/15/03
Scope of Work:
RECON will function as the Consultant to the City of Chula Vista under a two-party agreement
under the supervision of the City's Environmental Review Coordinator. The responsibilities of
the Consultant are briefly sunnuarized below.
Prior to commencing with the preparation of the General Plan Update EIR, Consultant will
analyze the environmental effects associated with a preliminary worst-case citywide land
use/transportation alternative identified by staff, based in part on General Plan amendment
applications filed by private landowners. The results of this preliminary analysis will assist staff,
the General Plan Update Steering Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council in
formulating three citywide land use/transportation alternatives for consideration through the
General Plan Update process.
Consultant will prepare a draft EIR for the City's General Plan Update in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Three citywide land use/transportation
alternatives, as well as the Preferred Altemative upon which the proposed General Plan Update
map and text will be based, will be addressed at an equal program level of analysis. Following
public review of the draft EIR, Consultant will assist in preparing responses to comments received
and will prepare a final EIR for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council in
conjunction with the proposed General Plan Update.
Contract Payment
The total cost of the contract for consulting services is a fixed fee of $276,424, plus a 15 pement
contingency of $41,463, for a total of $317,887.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The Environmental Review Coordinator 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; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
Page 4, Item No.: ~
Meeting Date: 7/15/03
FISCAL IMPACT:
On November 6, 2001, the City Council approved an overall work program and budget for the two-
plus year General Plan Update project. Included in that work program and budget were preparation
of several studies to be done by consultants, including preparation of an EIR. Funding for these
studies has already been included within the City General Plan Update CIP. Costs for preparation
of the EIR is within the ranges identified in the approved General Plan budget, and no further
budget actions are required in conjunction with approval of this two-party agreement.
It has been determined that one-third of the base cost of $276,424 to prepare the EIR, or $92,141,
is associated with the Otay Ranch evaluations, and will be funded by developer deposits,
provided through separate processing agreements. The remaining two-thirds of the base cost to
prepare the EIR, $184,283, plus the 15 percent contingency (maximum cost of $41,463) will be
paid through the approved General Plan Update CIP.

scheduling constraints, it is anticipated that only citywide
land use/transportation alternatives A, B, and C will be
available for analysis in time for inclusion in the first
screencheck draft EIR; therefore, the preferred citywide land
use/transportation alternative will be addressed in the second
screencheck draft EIR.
Two Party Agreement
July 8, 2003 Page A-4
The following is an outline of the contents for the first
screencheck draft EIR. The preparation of technical reports and
any modeling required to complete these reports is addressed
under the specific issue areas.
· Executive Summary -- This section will summarize the
significance of environmental effects, mitigation
measures, and level of significance after mitigation
associated with each land use/transportation alternative
analyzed in the EIR, as well as summarize cumulative
impacts and the evaluation of CEQA alternatives. This
section shall include a matrix, which provides a
comparison of the significant effects of each of the land
use/transportation alternatives.
· Introduction -- This section of the EIR will describe the
project background, purpose and need, and objectives.
The introduction will also provide an overview of the
CEQA process and discretionary actions associated with
the proposed Project.
· Project Description -- This section will describe in
detail the key features of the proposed GPU. It is
anticipated that the EIR will assess the environmental
impacts of three citywide land use/transportation
alternatives and the preferred alternative at an equal
level of analysis. The preferred alternative will either
be one of the three citywide alternatives or a fourth
citywide alternative comprised of various components of
the three.
· Environmental Analysis -- This section will present a
discussion of existing conditions based in part on the
completed GPU Environmental Baseline Studies and
pertinent GPU Areawide Studies. This section will also
present an analysis of each of the environmental issues
identified in IV.a through IV.n below. The analysis will
identify potentially significant environmental impacts
that could result from adoption of each of the citywide
land use/transportation alternatives and proposed
mitigation measures to reduce or avoid the identified
Two Party Agreement
July 8, 2003 Page A-5
impacts. Impact analysis shall be conducted at both a
plan-to-plan (proposed General Plan alternatives versus
adopted General Plan) and plan-to-ground (proposed
General Plan alternatives versus existing baseline
conditions) level of analysis.
· Cumulative Impacts - This section will address the
anticipated impacts of the citywide land
use/transportation alternatives in combination with the
anticipated impacts of long-range land use/transportation
plans for neighboring jurisdictions as well as relevant
regional plans (e.g., air quality).
· Other Mandatory CEQA EIR Sections -- Consultant will
prepare the following EIR sections required pursuant to
CEQA in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines:
Growth-Inducing Impacts,? Significant Irreversible
Environmental Changes, and Effects Not Found to be
Significant.

potentially significant land use impacts.
Two Party Agreement
July 8, 2003 Page A-6
b. Landform Alteration/Aesthetics
Currently, portions of the General Plan area are developed
and other portions are undeveloped. Ultimate buildout of
the adopted General Plan and buildout of the land
use/transportation alternatives analyzed in the EIR would
change certain natural landforms and the visual character
of certain areas. The EIR will evaluate the potential
landform alteration and aestheti~ impacts associated with
the adopted General Plan and the land use/transportation
alternatives.
c. Transportation
The transportation study will be prepared under separate
contract to the City of Chula Vista. Consultant will work
with the City's transportation consultant to evaluate the
potential impacts associated with the adopted General Plan
and the land use/transportation alternatives. The
transportation study will reflect current transit plans
affecting the General Plan area and will address
alternative level of service standards to be considered by
the City through the General Plan Update process. The
City's transportation consultant will prepare a draft EIR
transportation section, which the Consultant will review
and comment on with respect to CEQA adequacy and EIR format
consistency. Based on the Consultant's and City staff's
comments, the City's .transportation consultant will revise
the transportation section of the EIR until it is deemed
acceptable by the City's Environmental Review Coordinator.
d. Air Quality
The analysis of air quality impacts will be based on state
and federal ambient air quality standards and on
compatibility with the adopted air quality plans for the
San Diego Air Basin. The air quality analysis will
evaluate localized and regional impacts.

of the land use/transportation alternatives based on
Two Party Agreement
July 8, 2003 Page A-7
traffic volume projections provided by City staff as well
as major stationary sources to the extent possible, the
results of which will be documented in an air quality
technical report. This analysis will involve the
completion of a Caline carbon monoxide hot spot model for a
typical intersection, with a receiver placed at a distance
of 50 feet from a circulation element roadway, and a
potential exposure level will be calculated.
e. Noise
Consultant will complete a noise analysis for each of the
land use/transportation alternatives based on traffic
volume projections provided by City staff, the'results of
which will be documented in a noise technical report.
Community noise analysis will be completed using the
Federal Highway Administration Noise Prediction Model
STAMINA 2.0 version, to determine the future community
noise equivalent levels (CNEL). Policies will be
recommended where necessary to mitigate identified impacts.
f. Cultural Resources
Consultant will review secondary sources for historic,
prehistoric, and paleontological resources and will
evaluate the potential for the land use/transportation
alternatives to result in significant impacts on such
resources. Recommendations for policies and mitigation
procedures will be made to lessen adverse effects to such
resources.
g. Biological Resources
Consultant will evaluate the potential impacts to
biological resources associated with the land
use/transportation alternatives in light of the Chula Vista
Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan
and other existing sources of information on biological
resources within the General Plan area. This assessment
will consider the extent to which the land
use/transportation alternatives and proposed General Plan
policies conform to the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, the
Two Party Agreement
July 8, 2003 Page A-8
Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan, and other pertinent
adopted plans and policies.
h. Agricultural Resources

been aggressively implementing a number of "clean and safe" neighborhood programs, as well
as 24-hour graffiti removal, enhanced landscape maintenance, and retail recruitment efforts in
the Third Avenue District. The PBID was inaugurated for a five year term, with annual cost of
living increases allowed up to 5 percent based upon the regional consumer price index. The

RANCH BETWEEN THE CITY AND MCMILLIN ROLLING HILLS
RANCH, LLC AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
~- AGREEMENT
SuBMrrI'ED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR L~'-~ L~
REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER
4/STHS VOTE: YES
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 1997, the City and Pacific Bay Properties ("Pac Bay") executed an Affordable Housing
Agreement for Rolling Hills Ranch (the "ProjecY') for purposes of further implementing its affordable
housing obligation for the Project. Subsequently, the City and Pac Bay executed two project-specific
affordable housing agreements. The first such agreement pertained to a 116-unit Iow-income
senior apartment complex, which has since been constructed and occupied and is now known as
Rolling Hills Garden. The Second Agreement pertained to a 168-unit apartment complex, of which
32 units would be designated as affordable to Iow income households. The 168-unit apartment
complex has not yet been constructed. Compliance with both the First and Second Agreement is
necessary to satisfy the Iow income housing obligations of the Project under the 1997 Affordable
Housing Agreement.
In April 2002, McMillin Rolling Hills Ranch, LLC (the "Developer") purchased portions of the Project
which had not yet been improved with residences from Pac Bay. McMillin has expressed a desire to
build attached for-sale homes rather than the 168-unit apartment complex. The Developer is
requesting to amend and restate the Second Affordable Housing Agreement to provide McMillin and
the City with the flexibility of developing the site with a for-sale condominium or rental development
and adjusting the timing requirements for the provision of these units.
Additionally, the Developer is requesting that the City release those properties not identified as
affordable housing sites within the Affordable Housing Plan from any obligation to provide
affordable housing. An Amended and Restated Second Affordable Housing Agreement for the

MEETING DATE: 07/15/03
Projed has been prepared for Council's consideration and approval to address the Developer's
request.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the resolution approving the Amended and Restated Second Affordable
Housing Agreement for Rolling Hills Ranch and authorizing the Mayor to execute such Agreement
on behalf of the City.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
Under the Ci~s Balanced Communities Policy of the Housing Element, the Developer has an
obligation to provide 10 percent of those new residential housing units within the Project as
affordable to Iow and moderate-income families (5% Iow and 5% moderate). Based on units
constructed, final maps and tentative maps for Rolling Hills Ranch to date, a total of 2,352
residential housing units are anticipated. The Developer has on obligation to provide 118 units
affordable to Iow income households and 118 affordable to moderate income households within
the Project.
The City and Pac Bay executed ~vo project-specific affordable housing agreements to ensure
satisfaction of this obligation. The first such agreement pertains to a 116-unit senior apartment
complex, of which 104 units are for Iow income households, known as Rolling Hills Garden, located
on Neighborhood 4A1. Additionally, Pac Bay agreed to provide 32 affordable Iow-income units
within a 168 unit apartment complex for Neighborhood 4A2. Therefore, a total of 136 Iow-income
housing units will be provided, in excess of the minimum affordable housing requirement, in order to
provide housing opportunities for both seniors and families within the community. Compliance with
both the First and Second Agreement is necessary to satisfy the Iow income housing obligations of
the Project.
As the properly owner of those unimproved properties within Project, the Developer has expressed a
desire to build attached fOr-sale homes rather than the 168-unit apartment compleX. The Developer
is requesting to amend and restate the Second Affordable Housing Agreement to provide McMillin
and the City with the flexibility of developing the site with a for-sale condominium or rental
development and adjusting the timing requirements for the provision of these units.
Staff is agreeable to providing the Developer with flexibility and is supportive of affordable for-
sale condominiums. The 32 units of affordable housing represents approximately 20 percent of
the overall development. Such mixed income rental developments are difficult to finance with
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 07/15/03
limited available resources and a great demand. The Project has already provided a 116 unit
rental development, with 104 units affordable to Iow income seniors.
Execution of the A.clreement would not constitute approval of an affordable for-sale development
but Provides flexibility in developincl an affordable housinfl product, for-sale or rental, that would
accommodate the needs of both the City and Developer. It is anticioated that ~taff will brinq
forward a concelDtual development proposal for Rollina Hills Ranch and San Miauel Ranch for
Council discussion, alona with the DroIDosed Affordable Housina For-Sale Guidelines, in Fall 2003.
The Developer is also requesting that all properties within the Project be released, with the
exception of Neighborhood 4A (4A1 and 4A2), from any further affordable housing obligations.
Staff has determined that the site can accommodate the Developer's remaining duty to build
Iow-income housing. Pac Bay demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City, compliance with the
moderate income housing requirements by providing 140 homes within the project to qualifying
moderate-income households through January 31, 2001. Therefore, staff recommends the
execution of a Partial Termination of the Affordable Housing Agreement as it relates to all
properties within the Project, with the exception of Neighborhood 4A.
CE~A~
The proposed Amended and Restated Agreement for Rolling Hills Ranch has been reviewed for
compliance with CEQA. The proposed Agreement Js a mechanism for implementation of
affordable housing within the prescribed densities and maximum unit count of the Rolling Hills
Ranch general Development Plan and SPA plan. Approval and execution of the Agreement
would not, therefore, result in the construction of any housing beyond that anticipated in the GDP
and SPA plans and the environmental review documents previously certified for those plans.
Therefore, no additional CEQA action is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Developer has paid all costs associated with the processing of the Affordable Housing
Agreement and any subsequent Amendments.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
SECOND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
This AMENDED AND RESTATED SECOND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
("Restated Second Agreement") is entered into as of ,2003 by and between
McMillin Rolling Hills Ranch, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("McMillin") and the
City of Chula Vista, a California muhici~al corporation ("City"), with reference to the following
facts:
A. The City and Pacific Bay Properties, a California corporation ("PacBay"), entered
into that certain Affordable Housing Agreement dated as of June 17, 1997 and recorded in the
Official Records of San Diego County, California, on August 19, 1997 as Document No. 1997~
0400741 (the "1997 Affordable Housing Agreement") for the real property in the City of Chula
Vista, California, then Commonly known as the Salt Creek Ranch planned development and more
particularly described in the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement and on Exhibit A attached (the
"Property"). The Property is now commonly known as Rolling Hills Ranch.
B. The 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement required the developer to designate five
.percent (5%) of the total dwelling units constructed within the Property as housing affordable to low
Income households and five percent (5%) of the total dwelling unfits constructed within the Property
as housing affordable to moderate income households. Based on the total of 2,616 residential units
approved for the Property pursuant to the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan, the Iow income housing
requirement for the Property was 131 units and the moderate income housing requirement for the
Property was 131 units.
C. PacBay issued a final biannual report to the City on January 19, 2001. This report
indicated a total of 140 homes within the project had been sold to qualifying moderate income
households through January 31, 2001. Accordingly, the moderate income requirement of the 1997
Affordable Housing Agreement has been satisfied.

045609-0108 29830 3
/o4>
D. To satisfy the low income housing requirements of the 1997 Affordable Housing
Agreement, City and PacBay entered into two project-specific affordable housing agreements. The
first such agreement, recorded April 17, 2000 as File No. 2000-0194442 of Official Records ("First
Agreement") pertained to a ll6-unit low income senior apartment complex (the "Senior
Apartment Project"). The second agreement, recorded June 13, 2001 as File No. 2001-0397488
of Official Records ("Second Agreement") pertained to a 168-unit apartment complex of which
32 units would be designated as affordable to low-income households. It was agreed that compliance
with the First Agreement and Second Agreement would satisfy PacBay's low income housing
obligations under the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement.
E. Pursuant to the First Agreement, the 116-unit Senior Apartment Project was built and
occupied by qualifying low income households during the first phase of development o fthe Property.
This exceeded the requirements of the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement, which required
construction of the first phase of 57 low income units to commence prior to the 6015, building permit,
and construction of the remaining phase of 74 low income units prior to the 1,701st building permit
for the project.
F. The 168-unit apartment complex project (of which 32 units would be designated as
affordable to low-income households) contemplated by the Second Agreement has not been built.
G. In April 2002, McMillin purchased from PacBay the portions of the Property which
had not yet been improved with residences. McMillin does not desire to construct the 168-unit
apartment complex project.
H. McMillin would like to amend the Second Agreement in two ways. First, McMillin
would like to adjust the timing requirements of the remaining phase such that the remaining phase
of low-income units is provided in rough proportionality to the phasing of development on the
Property. Second, McMillin would like not to be bound to provide the low-income units as rental
units. McMillin would like to have the option of applying to the City for a new project-specific
implementing agreement which provides for the thirty-two (32) units affordable to low income
households as either a for-sale condominium project or a rental project. The City is generally
supportive ora for-sale condominium project which included the thirty-two (32) units affordable to
low income households.
I. McMillin and City wish to amend and restate the Second Agreement and replace it
in its entirety with this Restated Second Agreement, on the terms described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Amendment and Restatement of Second Agreement. This Restated Second
Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Second Agreement in its entirety.
Rolling Hills Ranch
May 14. 2003 2 045600-0108 29830.3
/o-?
2. New Pro|ect-Specffic Im.nlementine Aereement. McMillin and the City shall enter
into a new project-specific implementing agreement (the "New Agreement") regarding the remaining
thirty-two (32) units of low income housing required under the 1997 Affordable Homing Agreement.
The remaining thirty-two (32) units of low income housing will be built on thc multi-family housing
site described on Exhibit B attached (the "Multi-Family Housing Site"). McMillin will have thc
option to apply for a New Agreement which provides for satisfying the obligation for the remaining
thi.rty-two (32) units of Iow income housing through either for-sale condominium or rental apartment
umts. Thc New Agreement shall require the commencement of construction of the remaining thirty-
tWo (32) units of low income housing on or before the issuance of the building permit for the 2001st
residential unit on the Property, superceding the construction thresholds set forth in the 1997
Affordable Housing Agreement. With the Senior Apurtmcnt Project providing over 100 units of low
income housing, triggering the remaining thirty-two (32) low income units at the 2,0015t building
permit is roughly proportional to the phasing of overall project construction and the timing specified
in the Rolling Hills Ranch (a.k.a. Salt Creek Ranch) planning documents, including the 1997
Affordable Housing Agreement.
3. Release of Land.
a. Because the m0deratc income housing requirements for the Property under
the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement have been satisfied, the City shall (I) concurrently with the
execution of this Restated Second Agreement, execute and acknowledge a Release in the form of
Exhibit C attached, releasing the Property from the moderate income housing requirements of the
1997 Affordable Housing Agreement, and (ii) promptly cause the Release to be recorded in the
Official Records of San Diego County, California.
b. Similarly, because of the provision of the 116-unit Senior Apartment Project
pursuant to the First Agreement, the City has determined that the Multi-Family Housing Site will
accommodate Developer's remaining duty to build low income housing units and the City agrees to
release the reminder of the Property from the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement. The City shall
(1) concurrently with the execution of this Restated Second Agreement, execute and acknowledge
a Release in the form of Exhibit D attached, releasing the remainder of the Property (other than the
Multi-Family Housing Site and the Senior Apartment Project Site) from the low income housing
requirements of the 1997 Affordable Housing Agreement and (ii) promptly cause the Release to be
recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California.
4. Demand to Build. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement,
if the City reasonably believes that the Developer will not reach the building permit threshold
described in Section 2 (which would trigger the construction of the low income housing units), the
City shall have the right to demand that Developer construct a proportionate amount of low income
housing units relative to the total number of residential building permits that have been issued for
the Property. The City shall provide the Developer with the written demand to construct the units
within a reasonable period of time for the Developer to commence construction of the units.
Developer shall complete construction of the low income housing units, as required by this
paragraph, within one year of the conmaencement of construction of the units so demanded.

Certain Delinquent Sewer Service Charges as Recorded Liens Upon
the Respective Owner Occupied Parcels of Land and Placement of

In order to adequately protect the City's interest in delinquent sewer service charges and
insure that collection efforts are directed towards the responsible property owner in the
event of a change in ownership, staff is recommending approval for liens against affected
properties as a preliminary action to replacing the delinquencies on the property tax rolls if
they remain unpaid. Adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection process for
delinquent sewer service charges by ensuring that the correct property owners are
charged and that payment be received on a more timely basis. This is the identical
process approved by City Council since August .1998.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public hearing to consider assessing
delinquent sewer service charges as recorded liens on the
affected properties, consider all testimony and continue the
public headng until July 22 in order to satisfy public
notification requirements. On July 22, staff recommends that
Council adopt the resolution overruling all protests and
assessing these charges as liens upon the respective owner
occupied parcels of land.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 13.14.150 allows delinquent sewer service
charges to be assessed as recorded liens upon the affected properties and ultimately
placed on the property tax bills for collection. The ordinance states that upon notification
of the property owners, a public hearing is set for sewer service accounts which.are over
sixty days delinquent. At the hearing the City Council considers the delinquent accounts

Meeting Date ~
together with any objections or protests by interested parties. At the conclusion of the
hearing, the City Council, may either approve the delinquency and amount owed on the
accounts as submitted or as modified or corrected by the City Council. Lastly, the City
Council adopts a resolution assessing such amounts as liens upon the respective pamels
of land, and the amounts are charged to the property owners on the next regular property
tax bill.
In December 2002, City Council approved midyear liens for 77 delinquent sewer service
accounts valued at $37,800 to be forwarded to the County for collection on the next
regular property tax bill. Staff has currently identified 258 owner occupied accounts
totaling $95,161 as being over 60 days delinquent (listing available at the City Clerk's
office). Many of these property owners have gone through this lien process previously as
they continue to leave their sewer service accounts unpaid.
These property owners have been notified of their delinquencies, and last month, they
were notified of the public hearing and were asked to pay their delinquent sewer service
charges pdor to this public hearing to avoid a lien being placed on their property.
Payment arrangements will be set up as needed, and staff will continue to update this list
as payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be submitted to the
City Council for consideration as soon as all payments are recorded.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of delinquent sewer
accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County and assessed
as liens on the respective owner occupied parcels of land and ultimately placed on the
next regular tax bill for collection.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By placing delinquent sewer service charges on the property owner's regular tax bill,
$75,000 in additional sewer fund revenues is estimated for FY02-03, For FY03-04, an
estimated $72,000 is projected to be collected in this manner.

In order to adequately protect the City's interest in delinquent solid waste service charges
and ensure that collection efforts are directed towards the responsible property owner in
the event of a change of ownership, staff is recommending approval for liens against
affected properties as a preliminary action to placing the delinquencies on the preperty
tax rolls if they remain unpaid. Adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection
process for delinquent solid waste service charges by reducing the amount of
uncollectible losses and ensure that payment will be received on a more timely basis.
This is the identical process approved by City Council on a quarterly basis since mid-
2001.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public headng to consider assessing
delinquent solid waste service charges as liens on the
affected properties, consider all testimony and continue the
headng until July 22 in order to satisfy public notification
requirements. On July 22, staff recommends that Council
adopt the resolution overruling all protests and assessing
these charges as liens upon the respective parcels of land.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In November 1998, City Council amended Municipal Code Section 8.24 to require
participation in solid waste service and eliminate suspension of solid waste service for
nonpayment. To ensure that all residents pay their fair share of the costs of this progrem,
the ordinance also allows delinquent solid waste service charges to be assessed as liens
Page 2, Item.

upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection.
The ordinance states that upon notification of the property owners, a public hearing is set
for solid waste service accounts that are over ninety days delinquent. At the hearing the
City Council considers the delinquent accounts together with any objections or protests by
interested parties. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council, may either approve
the delinquency and amount owed on the accounts as submitted or as modified or
corrected by the City Council. Lastly, the City Council adopts a resolution assessing such
amounts as liens upon the respective parcels of land, and the amounts are charged to
the property owners on the next regular property tax bill. As these amounts are collected,
the monies are remitted to Pacific Waste Services less the City's Franchise Fees, AB939
fees and late charges.
Because charges can only be submitted for placement on the property tax bills once a
year in August, staff is recommending assessing liens on the affected properties midyear
as to better ensure the City's chances for collection. If the City were to address these
delinquent charges only once a year in August, the effectiveness of using the property tax
bill as a means of collection would be significantly reduced as the owners of record in
August would not necessarily be the people responsible for the delinquent charges. In
cases where properties are sold or transferred, assessing liens midyear holds the correct
parties responsible for the delinquent charges. In cases where property owners choose
to refinance their mortgages, the midyear liens will ensure the City receiving payment in a
more timely manner as the delinquent charges would be paid through escrow during the
refinancing process.
In February 2003, City Council approved 476 midyear liens on properties valued at
$65,040. Since then, Pacific Waste Services has identified and submitted an additional
849 delinquent accounts valued over $105,096 to the city for collection. Through the
City's preliminary collection efforts, 512 accounts have been resolved, and the remaining
337 accounts valued at $41,298 are now being submitted (listing available at the City
Clerk's office). The account status and property ownership on these accounts have been
vedfied by both Pacific Waste and City staff. Many of these delinquent accounts have
gone through the lien process before as they continue to remain unpaid.
These property owners were notified of their delinquencies through a series of past due
notices sent by Pacific Waste until they were ultimately submitted to the City for
collection. City staff also sent out a past due letter, and last month, these property owners
were notified of the public hearing and were asked to pay their delinquent solid waste
service charges by July 14, 2003 to avoid a lien being placed on their property. City staff
has been working with Pacific Waste to resolve any customer disputes as they arise and
payment arrangements have been set up as needed. Staffwill continue to update this list
as payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be submitted to the
City Council for consideration as soon as all payments are recorded.

FISCAL IMPACT:
By using the property tax bill as the ultimate collection method for delinquent solid waste
serVice charges, an estimated $180,000 should be collected in FY 02-03. These funds
would then be forwarded to Pacific Waste Services less the city's Franchise Fees,
AB939 fees and late charges. The city should recognize an estimated $16,500 increase
in Franchise Fees, $3,500 in AB939 fees, and $11,000 in late charges for FY02-03. For
FY03-04, an estimated $185,000 is projected to be collected in this manner.

ITEM TITLE: Public hearing: Precise Plan PCM-03-33, to establish development
standards in order to construct four detached condominiums on one lot at
216, 218, 220 Davidson and 261 Twin Oaks in the R-3 Apartment
Residential, Precise Plan (R3-P22) Zone.

REVIEWED
BY:
The applicant, Harold D. West, is requesting a Precise Plan PCM-03-33, in order to establish
development standards in order to construct four detached condominiums on one lot. Each
unit would have a two-car garage and will be constructed to match the historic Victorian
structure to the east of the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance approving PCM-03-33.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant brought his proposal to the Design Review Committee for preliminary review on
February 17, 2003. At that time the members of the committee expressed concern with the
linear affect of the units, the reduction of setbacks and fence heights. To address the concerns
of the committee, the applicant revised his proposal to allow for more movement of the
buildings and variations of roof heights. The item was brought back to the Design Review
Committee for a public hearing on June 2, 2003. At that time, the Design Review Committee
found that the project conforms to the Design Guidelines of Chula Vista and voted 5-0-0-0 to
approve the site plan and architectural elevations for the project with a limitation on wall and
fence heights to 6 feet.
The item was then brought before the Planning Commission on June 25~, 2003 at which time
they voted 5-0-0-2 to recommend that City Council adopt the ordinance approving PCM-03-33.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The subject property currently consists of four dwelling units, three attached units and. one
detached SFR on a 9,632 square foot lot. All of these units are proposed to be demolished.
Page 2, Item No.: _ ' 4~
Meeting Date: 07/_1~./2003
The site is situated east of Third Avenue, west of Second Avenue and is bordered by F
Street to the north and G Sl~eet to the ~outh.
2. General Plan, Zoning, and Land Use
The project is located in the R-3 - Apartment Residential Zone, with a Precise Plan (P)
Designation (R-322P) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Residential
Medium High (11 - 18 dwelling units per gross acre). The (15) designation allows for
discretionary approval of development standards and regulations that will allow
development within the zone that may not otherwise meet the standards of the underlying
zone. The proposed density is consistent with the Residential Medium High general plan
designation and lower than the 22 units per acre zone designation. Adjacent zoning and
land use include:
General Plan Zoning Current Land Use
Site: Residential, Medium-High R-3P22 Multi-family residential
North: Residential, Medinm-High R-3P22 Multi-family residential
South: Residential, Medium-High R-3P22 Single-family residential
East: Residential, Medium-High R-3P22 Single-family residential
West: Residential, Medium-High R-3P22 Duplex/Residential
3. Proposal
The project consists of constructing 4 detached condominium units of varying sizes. Each
unit would have a two-car garage. The decorative facades, various roof pitches and the
asymmetrical architecture of each unit will be compatible with the Victorian home to the
east and the historic flair of downtown Chun Vista to the west. The project also proposes
patios and porches, which are important elements of Victorian architecture. However the
applicant is also proposing 7 - 8 feet wall enclosures which may deter from the overall open
design of Victorian subtypes and are inconsistent with the single-family residential allure of
the project. The applicant also proposes to utilize mature landscaping and will provide street
trees along the length of the project.
4. Analysis
The proposed project is an appropriate use for the 9,632-square-foot lot located in the R-
3P22 Zone, where, according to the Chun Vista Municipal Code, "The purpose of the R-3
zone is to provide appropriate locations where apartment house neighborhoods of varying
degrees of density may be established, maintained, and protected."
Section 19.56.041(C) states that a precise plan may be implemented if the basic underlying
or underlying zone regulations does not allow the property owner and/or the city
appropriate control or flexibility needed to achieve an efficient and proper relationship
among the uses allowed in the adjacent zones.
Page 3, Item No.: ]~
Meeting Date: ~
The applicant would like to develop an "upscale" condomini~ma development that will be
compatible with the historic character of the surrounding area. In an effort to provide
relatively affordable single-family housing opportunities, the applicant has proposed this
condominium project with four detached units, each with an attached two-car garage.
However, the applicant is constrained by the development standards of the R-3 Zone. The goal
of the applicant is to retain the same number of existing housing units, while creating a single -
family allure. The requested deviations would provide the applicant an opportunity to meet
these goals and as well would enhance the public convenience and general welfare of the
community by providing quality housing opportunities. Further, the new project would provide
off-street parking that currently does not exist at 216, 218, and 220 Davidson and 261 Twin
Oaks Avenue. The on-site provision of parking would help enhance thc character of the
neighborhood and the public convenience of thc community by alleviating on-street parking
that at times is impacted by events within the downtown area.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARD ALLOWED PROPOSED
Height 28 feet Units 1 & 4 = 24 ft 6 in.
Units 2 & 3 = 32 ft.*
Lot Coverage 50% 44%
Setbacks:
Front (to garage) 22 feet Unit 1 = 19 feet*
Unit 2 -- 19 feet*
Unit 3 = 20 feet*
Unit 4 = 18 feet*
Rear 15 feet 3 feet 10 in*
Sides 5 feet (interior) 5 feet

Parking 4 two-car garages 4 two-car garages
*Requested flexibility from the R-3 zone per Sections 19.56.040 and 041 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code.
The proposed use appears to meet the finding necessary to grant Precise Plan, PCM-03-33:
A. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working
in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code and the General Plan. By providing quality single-family
detached homes with adequate on-site parking the project wili enhance the quality of thc
neighborhood and will promote public convenience and the general welfare of the
community.
Page 4, Item No.:
Meeling Date: 07/08/2003
B. That such plan satisfies the principle for application of the P modifying
district as set forth in CVMC 19.56.041 (C).
The site is zoned R~3 with a Precise Plan modifier CR-3P22) and is subject to the
development standards of the R-3 zone. Deviations from the R3 standards are are
necessary to allow the development of the site with an efficient and functional use
that will have a proper relationship to adjacent uses and be compatible with the
historic character of the surrounding area.
C. That 'any exceptions granted which may deviate from the underlying zoning
requirements shall be warranted ortly when necessary to meet the purpose and
application of the Precise Plan.
Development of the lot using the standards of the R-3 zone would limit the potential
to maximize the use of the site with four detached single-family residences that
would be more compatible with the neighborhood than attached units allowed by the
R-3 zone. As a result, the project has been designed with reduced setbacks and
heights that exceed the maximum allowed by the zone but at a density lower than
the 22 units per acre allowed by the zone designator (P22). These deviations are
warranted given the constraints to the site and the intent to maximize the use of the
property to provide quality housing in the western portion of Chula Vista.
D. The approval of this plan will conform to the General Plan and the adopted
policies of the City Of Chula Vista.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of
Chapter 1 (1-8) of General Plan Goal 3 which states "It is the goal of the city to
accommodate a full diversity of housing types, while maintaining an orientation to
detached single-family living." Further, Goal 3 states that it is an objective of the
City (Objective 11) to "assure that new development meets or exceeds a standard of
high quality planning and design.
5. Access/Circulation
Each unit will have a two-car garage that will be directly accessible from the frontage street.
No on-site vehicle circulation will result from tiffs design. The proposed project will be
replacing four existing dwelling units and therefore will not result in a significant increase in
traffic.
6. Parking
The 4 two-car garages will meet the required parking for this project. The applicant has
requested a reduction of 2 to 4 feet from the 22-foot setback requirement for each of the two-
car garages. The reduced setback will still allow for on-site guest parking which will help
alleviate any parking impacts created from downtown activities and the surrounding area.
Page 5, Item No.: _ tS
Meeting Date: 07/I}~/2003
7. Landsca~p~g
To help minimize the tuass of the structures, this project will utilize mature landscaping. It
will also include shrubs, trees, and flowering plants throughout the site. To contribute to the
pedestrian appeal of the neighborhood, the applicant will also provide street trees along the
length of the project on Davidson and Twin Oaks. In addition, all landscaping will be
subject to the requirements of the City's Landscape Manual and will require review and
approval by the City's Landscape Planner. Prior to issuance of a building permit, an
irrigation and water management plan shall be submitted to the City Landscape Planner for
review and approval.
8. Trash Disposal/Recycling
The project proposes one trash storage unit per unit. The trash storage units will be fully
enclosed and easily accessible to each unit. The applicant must enter into a Recycling and
Solid Waste Plan with the City prior to final project approval.
9. Architecture
Monotonous linear elevations will be avoided by the various roof heights and styles of each
unit. The asyr0metrieal facades provide dimension and character to the project as well as to
the overall neighborhood. The architectural style complements the historic character of the
surrounding area.
The combination of both vertical and horizontal articulation of the rooflines and the use of
hips and gables lend to the Victorian charm and architecture.
Each of the proposed units would use color contrast and variation to enhance the
architectural elements of the project. A minimum of three colors will be used on each unit.
The use of material and color contrast will provide dimension and will complement the
architectural style of'the project and the historic Victorian house to the east.
10. Walls & Fencing
The only unresolved issue from the applicant's perspective is the permitted height of the
walls proposed to enclose the private yard areas associated with each unit. The applicant,
Mr. West, desires to have walls up to 8 feet in height to provide added privacy for future
homeowners. Staff, the DRC and the Planning Commission have not accepted the
argument that walls that high are necessary to provide privacy and are more concerned with
the impacts such walls would have on adjacent properties or the public right-of-way.
Therefore the recommendation to the Council is to not allow the private walls to exceed the
6-foot height limit of the Zoning Ordinance.
Page 6, Item No.: ;3
Meeting Date: 07/0~2003
CONCLUSION:
The high quality design of this project will enhance the public convenience and general welfare
of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, staff and the Planning Commission
recommendation requests that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance approving PCM-
03-33, a Precise Plan to deviate from the development standards of the R3 Zone.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this project. The applicant
will be responsible for all processing fees.

Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - June 25, 2003
2. PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 03-33, Precise Plan to establish development standards in
order to construct four detached condominiums on one lot at
216, 218, 220 Davidson and 261 Twin Oaks in the R-3
Apartment Residential, Precise Plan (R3-P22) Zone. Applicant:
Harold D. West
Background: Lynette Tessitore-Lopez, Associate Planner reported that the project
consists of constructing 4 detached condominium units of varying sizes, each having a
two-car garage. The project incorporates facades, various roof pitches, patios and
porches creating important elements of Victorian architecture, which will assimilate well
with the Victorian home to the east, and the historic flair of downtown Chula Vista to
the west.
The applicant is also proposing a 7 to 8 foot high wall enclosures, which may deter from
the overall open design of the Victorian style. Additionally, he is proposing utilizing
mature landscaping and will provide street trees along the length of the project..
The two-car garages will meet the required parking for this project and the provision of
on-site parking will help alleviate any parking impacts created from downtown activities.
The applicant has requested the following deviations from the 22 front yard setback
requirement:
· A three foot deviation for unit #1 and #2
· A two foot deviation for unit #3
· A four foot deviation for unit #4
The rear yard requirement is a minimum of 15 feet, and the applicant has requested a
minimum 3 feet 6 inches. The maximum height of the zone is 28 feet; the applicant is
proposing to exceed that height by 4 feet in unit #2 and #3.
The applicant has requested the deviations in order to maximize use based on the size
restrictions of the site, as well as to develop an upscale condominium project, while at
the same time creating a single family allure.
Perimeter fencing and on-site walls will be an important design component to this
project and, however, staff feels that exceeding the six foot height requirement, as
proposed by the applicant, would detract from the single family residential allure of this
project.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
Resolution, recommending that the City Council adopt the Ordinance approving PCM
03-33 to deviate from th(f development standards of the R-3 Zone and for watl and fence
heights not to exceed six feet.
Planning Commission Minutes - 3 - June 25, 2003
Commission Discussion:
Commissioner Castaneda asked for further elaboration on [he fencing material and what
is meant by "mature landscaping material".
Harold West, 145 Second Avenue, Chula Vista, CA,' applicant, responded that they
would plant 30 inch box trees, and could possibly incorporate larger trees that would
require a crane to plant them, however, given the small area where the trees will be
planted, the 30-inch box trees would be more appropriate.
Cmr. Castaneda expressed his desire to ensure consistency in upholding development
standards for street frontage and design in terms of landscaping and hardscaping.
He further stated he was surprised to see that there appears to be no opposition from the
area residents in terms of opposing exceeding the height requirements.
Mr. West stated that they are also developing another project just down the street from
there (3 homes) and they have had very good response from the neighborhood. The
enhancements for the proposed project include widening the street by 3 feet and the
project also addresses the parking issue by providing on-site parking, therefore, it is no
surprise to him that there would be no neighborhood opposition.
Commissioner Horn inquired about the maintenance of the perimeter fence in terms of
graffiti eradication.
Mr. West responded that they are required to use graffiti resistant material for the
fencing.
Public Hearing Opened 6:50.
Harold West, 145 Second Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, applicant addressed the fence
height issue, indicating that because these units are small and don't have a big back yard,
in his opinion the least they ought to be able to offer the residents is a bit more privacy in
their yards. By raising the fence height, the yard is integrated more into part of the living
area by offering more privacy for jacuzzi's, patio furniture and outdoor cooking areas.
Public Hearing Closed 6:55.
The Commission felt they could support the project because it is well designed, fits in
with the character and vision set forth for that neighborhood, and there will be street
enhancements associated with the project..
MSC (Castaneda/Hom) (5-0-0-2) That the Planning Commission recommend approval
of the Resolution, recommending that the City Council adopt the Ordinance approving
PCM 03-33 to deviate from the development standards of the R-3 Zone and for wall
and fence heights not to exceed six feet. Motion carried.

II. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City Chula Vista does hereby find,

CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the proposed project qualifies
for a Class 3 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Thus no further environmental review is necessary.
A. PRECISE PLAN FINDINGS
1. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the
health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code and the General Plan. By providing quality single-family detached
homes with adequate on-site parking the project will enhance the quality of the
neighborhood and will promote public convenience and the general welfare of the
community.
2. That such plan satisfies the principle for application of the P modifying district as set
forth in CVMC 19.56.041 (C).
The site is zoned R-3 with a Precise Plan modifier (R-3P22) and is subject to the
development standards of the R-3 zone. Deviations from the R3 standards are necessary
to allow the development of the site with an efficient and functional use that will have a
proper relationship to adjacent uses and be compatible with the historic character of the
surrounding area.
Ordinance
Page 3
3. That any exceptions granted which may deviate from the underlying zoning requirements
shall be warranted only when necessary to meet the purpose and application of the
Precise Plan.
Development of the lot using the development standards of the R-3 zone would limit the
potential to maximize the use of the site with four detached single-family residences that
would be more compatible with the neighborhood than attached units allowed by the R-3
zone. As a result, the project has been designed with reduced setbacks and heights that
exceed the maximum allowed by the zone but at a density lower than the 22 units per
acre allowed by the zone designator (P22). These deviations are warranted given the
constraints to the site and the intent to maximize the use of the property to provide quality
housing in the western portion of Chula Vista.
4. The approval of this plan will conform to the General Plan and the adopted policies of the
City Of Chula Vista.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of Chapter 1
(1-8) of the General Plan Goal 3 which states that "It is the goal of the city to
accommodate a fully diversity of housing types, while maintaining an orientation to
detached single-family living." Further, Goal 3 states that it is an objective of the City
(Objective I 1) to "assure that new development meets or exceeds a standard of high
quality planning and design.
B. TERMS OF GRANT OF PRECISE PLAN
The City of Chula Vista hereby grants Precise Plan PCM-03-33 for project depiction in
Exhibit "A", and controlled by the Development Standards and Operational Standards in
Exhibit "B". and subject to the following conditions:
C. INVALIDITY; AUTOMATIC REVOCATION

upon the enforceability of each and every term, provision and condition herein stated; and
that in the event that any one or mom terms, provisions or conditions are determined by a
Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, this resolution and
the permit shall be deemed to be automatically revoked and of no further rome and effect
ab initiq.

Meeting Date: 07/15~03
ITEM TITLE: Report: P, ohr Park Master Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Parks and Recreation Commission
REVIEWED BY: City Manager,S' ~ (415th Vote: Yes No X )
The Rohr Park Master Plan was approved by City Council in 1986. The Parks
and Recreation Commission has recently expressed concern over long-range
plans for Rohr Park and its surrounding area and believes that the Master Plan
should be updated due to the fact that the Plan is now 17 years old~ The
Commission believes the Master Plan should be made more comprehensive in
scope by including the entire Rohr "recreation area." This "recreation area"
includes both the City-owned and County-owned portions of Rohr Park, the
Chula Vista Golf Course, and the yet-to-be-developed land adjacent to the golf
course - the 3-acre pamel west of South Bay Banquet Center and the two
triangular parcels along Bonita Road and Sweetwater/Central Avenue (please
see attached aerial photo of the area). The Commission also recommends that
community and stakeholder input be received as part of the Master Plan process.
The Commission voted to support this recommendation (5-0-0-2 Weidner and
Rude absent) at its May 15, 2003 meeting.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: That the City Council accept
this report and direct staff to bring back a report with recommendations and cost
estimates for Council's consideration.
DISCUSSION: The 1986 Master Plan did not include consideration of the Chula
Vista Golf Course, the 3-acra parcel west of the South Bay Banquet Center,
which since has been designated for the development of the newly approved
County Library (currently in construction documents phase), and the County-
owned portions of Rohr Park.
A synopsis of the 1986 Master Plan follows. To date, the only land use elements
of the Master Plan that have been implemented are the creation of a jogging trail
on the park side of the golf course fence line, lighting and fencing of P, ohr
ballfield #18, construction of new reestreoms and a parking lot by ballfields #17
and 18, and installation of a tot lot by Gate B. The cost of these improvements
were between $400,000-$500,000. Improvements planned in FY2004-05 ara the
renovations of the tot lot and restreoms at the west end. The Chula Vista Live
Steamers are currently expanding its track to the west.

1986 Rohr Park Master Plan
The Sweetwater/Rohr Park Master Plan was designed as a guide to long-term
development providing direction, with flexibility, which would possibly be altered
with changing demographics, priorities and needs of the community and the City
of Chula Vista. The creation of the Master Plan was in response to an increased
strain on facilities available for recreation existing at the time resulting from
changing demographics and increasing population in the Chula Vista area. In
response to those needs, the City acquired County of San Diego owned parcels
on each side of Rohr Park in order to provide a unified major park that would
meet resident needs and community interest. The Design Team hired to
complete this project included the firms of Wimmer, Yamada and Associates,
Human Space Associates, and International Design & Irrigation Consultants.
Maior Proiect Goals:
Function:
· To provide parking accommodations for 10 cars per acre of park
site, as a minimum
· To increase the quantity and quality of athletic facilities
· To improve traffic circulation and vehicular access to the park
· To increase the quantity and quality of passive picnic space
Form:
· To reorganize the parks land use into functional areas
· To improve the image and identity of the newly assembled park
· To enhance Rohr Manor as an activity generator and major cultural
space
· To respect the various land uses of areas adjacent to the park
Economy:
· To meet the recreational needs of the community in the most cost-
effective manner
· To develop a master plan that will accommodate planned growth
over a series of years
· To implement the plan in phases, allowing for flexibility
Time:
· To plan for park development in these target years: 1986, 1988,
1990, 1992
Process
The process for the development of the SweetwatedRohr Park Master Plan was
based on the active involvement of park users, neighbors, City staff, Park and
Recreation Commission, and City Council with the design team. This
involvement included meetings, workshops, and surveys with residents,
Page 3, Item ~q-
Meeting Date: 07/15/03
neighbors, Parks and Recreation Staff, individual park users and organized park
users.
Cate.qories of Implementation
Zones of park usage corresponding to the following five major categories of
implementation, in order of priority, were created:
· Entrance and Parkinq Improvements-creation of the new Park entry
and consolidated parking lots
· Passive Area Improvements-majority of park reassigned to passive
uses in a contiguous zone, including new picnic shelters and
pavilions, tables, walkways, play areas, jogging trails and
associated development
· Active Area Improvements-creation of a consolidated sports and
multi-use open field area to the east of Rohr Mall with single and
multi-use softball and soccer fields with associated equipment and
restroom/storage building along with a permanent parking area and
a Youth Activity Center at the north end of the active area, jogging
trail to be located on the park side of the golf course, and the
equestrian center remaining in existing location
· Rohr Mall Area Improvements-once vacation of existing
maintenance buildings was to occur (with relocation to an off-site
location), full development of the pedestrian mall as a multi-use,
people oriented cultural space, including enriched paving, water
feature, Botanical Garden Center, Rohr Manor improvements,
adobe house renovation and existing lunchroom renovation for the
Sunrise Center
· Miscellaneous Improvements-upon vacation of the Sunrise Center,
renovation of that space for a Chula Vista Live Steamers
Maintenance Center, preservation of existing railroad line with an
extension to the maintenance building, renovations to the hard
surface courts, possible establishment of a Memorial Tree Grove
and improvements to the Equestrian trail
Funding
The following funding sources were considered:
· State and Federal Grants, including the State Bond Act and Land & Water
Conservation
· Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds
· Private societies, clubs and special interest groups
Timing
Allocation of the improvement categories was assigned over a six year time span
as follows:
· 1986-High priority entrance and parking projects by end of year
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date: 07/15/03
· 1988-Passive zone improvements
· 1990-Rohr Mall Zone improvements to be made gradually, but to be

Meeting Date: 07/15103
DISCUSSION:
On March 3, 2003, the Joint City / Schools Task Force heard a report from staff of the
Sweetwater Union High School District regarding the need for the next high school in eastern
Chula Vista. This school is identified by the District as High School #13. The conclusion of the
District staff presentation was that the selection of a site for this school was needed before the
end of June 2003, in order to provide for an opening date of summer, 2006.
In the ensuing months, a working group of City and District staff and landowners has met on six
occasions to evaluate a number of viable high school sites within Otay Ranch. Eight potential
sites were evaluated by the working group based upon a number of factors. One of the primary
constraints was the availability of access and utilities to the sites within the time period necessary
to meet the District's needs.
One of the proposed sites considered by the staff/landowner group is located at the northwest
corner of the future Rock Mountain Road and the future SR 125. This site represents a viable
location for High School #13 but will not be available within the time frames sought by the
District without approval of the proposed expedited processing schedule.
On May 21, 2003, the McMillin Companies put forth a proposal to provide access, utilities and
grading for the site in exchange for expedited processing of a portion of Sectional Planning Area
Plan for Otay Ranch Village 7 (Attachment 1). McMillin's ownership takes in the northern
portion of the high school site as shown on this proposal; the remainder is owned by the Stephen
and Mary Birch Foundation. This is the only plan which as been advanced to date by a property
owner. This would be accomplished through the processing of a Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
plan and entitlements. District staff is amenable to this approach, since, in their estimation, the
site is acceptable fi.om both a service area and development logistics standpoint. However, the
proposed process will look at alternative sites within Village 7, as well as a site within Village 10
(the University site) that was discussed by the staff/landowner group.
The offer by the McMillin Companies and the response of the District requires that the City
determine the most expeditious means of processing the necessary entitlements, in an attempt to
meet the very ambitious project construction schedule. One or more roads with utilities would
need to be extended from Birch Road southward to the site and be in place with a paved surface
before construction could occur on the site.
Th~ Propoxad l~ntitlamant Procax.~
Attachment 2 reflects the steps and schedule which staff has devised. This schedule relies on
three principles: expedited consultant procurement, maximized parallel processing and complete
2
Page 3, Item:/~B
Meeting Date: OW1 5/0t
stakeholder commitment. The City's conformance to these principles notwithstanding, no
guarantee can be made that this schedule is actually achievable, due to unforeseen factors that
routinely emerge during any planning exercise and public decision-making process.
F,~aditt*d (Ton.~.liant Prt~t'~rarnant - Staff has prepared a resolution pursuant to Municipal Code
Section 256.070.B.3 waiving the normal consultant procurement process, in order to expedite the
hiring of an environmental consultant and extension of staff planning services for the Village 7
SPA (Attachment 3). The replacement method proposed is comprised of the following:
ra Rather than conducting a request for proposals and comparing bids to conduct the work, staff
would solicit qualifications, conduct interviews, and negotiate contract amounts and work
products with the selected firm.
c~ The two selected finns would begin work immediately, under a purchase order authorization
not to exceed $50,000 per contractor. Upon finalization, the consulting contracts would be
brought to the City Council for final approval.
Between the shortening of the time which can be accomplished by eliminating the preparation of
a specific request for proposals, the shorter turn-around time that can be accomplished by the
submittal of qualifications rather than bids, and the ability to commence work in advance of a
finalized contract, the alternative proposed process could save between 45 and 90 days.
Marimiz~d Par'allt,1 Prt)t't, xxin~ - The proposed work program includes commencement on mass
grading permit review prior to the completion of entitlement processing, thereby allowing
grading to commence almost immediately after the City Council's final approval of entitlements.
This component step alone would save several months.
,gtaktzht~ld~,r (Tr)rnmitmant -- Village 7 comprises four separate private property ownerships,
including the McMillin Companies, the Otay Ranch Company, the Otay Land Company and the
Stephen and Mary Bimh Foundation. The outcome of this process must be a cohesively planned
functional village. A high level of commitment amongst the owners and other interested parties,
along with the City and the District, will be required to maintain the schedule proposed. This
commitment will need to include agreement on plan submittals, timely provision of documents
and studies, and continuing agreement throughout the public review and hearing process.
Whereas staff proposes the attached schedule as the means of most quickly achieving the
necessary entitlements, expedited processing is not without potential pitfalls. Over time, the
quality of Otay Ranch neighborhoods has incrementally increased. This has occurred because
both developers and City staff have gained greater understanding as a result of each SPA plan.
Thus, a process that seeks to quickly design a new village on the basis of replicating previous
approvals may not achieve reasonably anticipated advancements in such matters as overall
design, transit integration and village cohesiveness. Further, several issues are presented by
3
Page 4, Item:
Meeting Date: O7/14/03
Village 7 which may challenge the schedule. An example of one such challenge will be
coordinating traffic modeling and road alignments with the ongoing General Plan update; another
will be coordinating the SPA plan with the FAA's VORTAC facility. Candidly, the only thing
that staff can assure all parties is that best efforts will be made to adhere to the most expeditious
schedule possible.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Processing costs for the SPA Plan and entitlements would bc funded by a developer's deposit
account under a processing a~reement and the execution of three party agreements for consultant
services. The fiscal impacts of the SPA plan are unknown at this time, and will be subject to
analysis as a part of processing.

RE: HIGH SCHOOL SITING
Dear Jim and Rick:
Please allow me to take this opportunity to respond to the comment you made at the
landowners' meeting regarding the GDP amendment that, "to date no landowner has
volunteered to have the high school on their property." This is not true. Please accept
this letter as our formal indication that McMillin has proposed, and--~tands ready to assist
the City of Chula Vista and the Sweetwater Union High School district toward achieving,
a 50 acre high school site in the southeast comer of Village 7, consistent with the adopted
Otay Ranch GDP. Approximately half of this site is on property owned by McMillin,
with the balance located on property owned by the Steven and Mary Birch Foundation.
Our commitment to deliver the site is predicated on a commitment from the City and
School District to achieve a functioning facility in Fall, 2006 including the following
· Timely processing and approval of a Village 7 SPA Plan, generally consistent
with the enclosed Conceptual Grading/Site Utilization Plan, and consistent with
the adopted GDP;
· Formation of a CFD district to finance the provision of infrastructure to the site;
· Timely processing and approval of a Tentative Map incorporating McMililn's
property within the project; and,
· Timely environmental review and construction of the WoifCanyon Trunk Sewer,
necessary to serve the site.
Our proposal will be easier to implement, in terms of processing, condemnation
requirements, plan amendments, and property owner challenges, than any other site being
considered. It is the site with the fewest'implementatien issues. Particularly, we'd like to
call your attention to the following benefits of the plan:

CITY OF CHULA ~ISTA

Page 2 of 3
o The plan provides appropriate separation between the Otay Ranch High School in
Village 2, the private High School in Village 6, and a strong arterial location
alOng Rock Mountain Road, appropriate to serve future development within the
Ranch;
· The plan requires no land dedication by the Otay Land Co. to implement the High
School on time;
· The plan does not require any road within Otay Land Co. t~wnership to be set at
this time, thereby permitting future planning on its property to consider alternative
alignments in conjunction with the GDP Amendment;
· The plan is consistent with the adopted GDP, and therefore requires no
amendment nor agreement by other property owners;
· The plan does not require development of the Vortac site to function;
· The plan requires no land dedication from other property owners to implement the
Elementary School, which is ideally located to serve both Village 7 and the EUC;
· The plan requires no land dedication by any other property owner for the
neighborhood park in Village 7.;
· The plan places the High School and Elementary School within walking distance
of the proposed Community Park in Village 4; and,
· The plan significantly minimizes the amount of residences adjacent to SR-125.
Furthermore, the plan can use the same development standards as approved for Village 6,
thereby greatly reducing processing issues and timing. We are willing to commit to an
aggressive planning schedule, which will include submittal of a complete SPA Plan
application within six weeks.
We would also like you to be aware that, using the High School District's generation
factors, all of McMillin's development within Otay Ranch generates demand for 591 high
school age students. This proposal includes approximately half of the future High School
serving 2,200 - 2,500 students located within McMillin's project (1,100 - 1,250 students).
Accordingly, we are mitigating more than our impact by allocating a portion of our
property to the High School.

We look forward to working with you toward the submittal of a SPA Plan application

meeting.

festival, co-sponsored by the City, the Chamber and the Port of San Diego. This year the evem
will have a new format and will be held on September 13. With this agreement (see
ATTACHMENT A) the City will contract with the Chamber of Conunerce to produce Celebrate
Chula Vista.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution approving an agreement
with the Chula Vista Chaml",er of Commerce for $73,500 in financial assistance for Celebrate
Chula Vista and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
For many years the City, Port and Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored an event called Harbor
Days. Due to declining interest and attendance, the event was revamped and renamed Celebrate
Chula Vista in 2002. Although this first time event had some successful elements, it was
generally agreed that this major summer festival should be rethought.
As a result this year's event will be entitled "Celebrate Chula Vista at Cabaret on the Bay" and
will run from 12 Noon to approximately 9pm. It will be concentrated onto a smaller area th. an
last year, negating the need to use any dirt areas except for parking.
The emphasis of the event will be on the main stage, hence the tag line "Cabaret on the
Bay." Performers will include the San Diego Junior Theater, military bands, and various
other professional groups. The day will end with the well-known band Rockola, backed by
25 to 30 orchestral players, presenting a concert of symphonic '70s and Beatles music. The
evening will conclude with fireworks.

Meeting Date: 07/08/2003
* There will be a variety of seating available for viewing the main stage, including a raised
platform with tables and chairs, regular chairs near the stage and lawn seating.
· There will be a second stage, which will be used for school group performances throughout
the day.
· There will be a food and wine/beer garden near the main stage, but there will also be a
handful of other food booths - only restaurant types --- around the edges of the main stage
area.
· Large-scale "pavilion" style tents (20 x 60 feet) will be set up for chamber and business
displays. This pavilion approach may be used for other displays also. As a result, there will
be ve~j few, individual booths.
· There will be an enhanced large children's area with special activities for them.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As in years past, the City wishes to cuntmet with the Chamber of Commerce to actually produce
the event. This year $73,500 will be awarded to the Chamber for this purposes. The sources for
this funding are:
Unified Port of San Diego $50,000
City of Chula Vista/Office of Commtmications $12,000
City of Chula Vista/Office of Cnlturai Arts $11,500
The Chamber also expects to raise $30,000 from sponsorships. Duke Energy, Pacifica, and
SDG&E have already committed to the event.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: }~
Meeting Date: 07/15/03
ITEM TITLE: Report on the Chula Vista Recreation Department Strategic Plan
FY2003/04 - FY2~)
SUBMITTED BY: Recreation Direct~/
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~ (4/5tbs Vote: Yes __ No X )
In October 2002, the Recreation Department undertook the development of a long-range
strategic plan. The plan, which is now completed, provides a blueprint for service to be provided
by the Department over the next five fiscal years. Attached, as Attachment A, is a copy of the
draft: strategic plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At its meeting on May 15, 2003, the Parks
and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to endorse the five year Strategic Plan (see
Attachment B).
DISCUSSION:
The Department's Five Year Strategic Plan is designed to focus priorities and resources over the
next five years in order to ensure that the public receives the highest quality recreational services
possible.
Under the guidance and leadership of Roderick Reinhart, the City's Manager of Development
and Strategic Planning, a Strategic Plan Committee was formed to oversee development of the
Department's strategic plan. Nine subcommittees were also formed to help identify issues and
draft broad strategic plan themes to address those issues. The 20 plus member Steering
Committee, and the nine subcommittees, were made up of committed community volunteers and
leaders, plus key Recreation and City staff members.
The process began by creating a new Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Values for the
Department. In addition, consensus was reached on the major issues facing the Department, as
listed below:
> More productive and balanced leisure time is needed for a healthy society.
~' Resoume availability and facility availability, development and design do not meet the
increasing demands/expectations of our growing population.
~ The benefits and scope of recreation programs are not adequately communicated to
decision-makers, collaborators, and the public-at-large.
Item/f, Page 2
Meeting Date: 07/15/03
The next step involved the Steering Committee breaking up into nine subcommittees, which
included additional community and Recreation and City staff members, to deal with nine key
areas identified as being representative of the Department's functions:
~' Aquatics
} Athletics
Seniors and Therapeutics
Centers and Schools
Facilities and Fields
Communications and Marketing
Staff and Volunteers
Finance
Management
These groups each met three times over the course of three months to develop and refine the
detailed list of broad strategic themes for the full Steering Committee to consider. Once these
broad strategic themes were agreed upon, Recreation staff and other City staff members from the
Steering Committee met to develop specific goals for each theme. These goals were then
considered by the full Steering Committee.
Most of the department's strategic planning process occurred prior to the City Council's
adoption of Strategic Themes for the City, including the Council's adoption of the City Mission,
Vision, and Values. However, the Strategic Plan developed by the Department is consistent
with, and complements, this Council's direction and vision. Listed below are the City's Mission,
Vision, and Values Statements followed by those of the Recreation Department.
CITY MISSION STATEMENT
We are committed to making the community a better place to live, work and play through
services that promote PRIDE.
Public Partnerships and Involvement

DEPARTMENT BROAD STRATEGIC THEMES
The Department believes the Strategic Plan supports the City Council' s Strategic Themes and
City Mission and Vision, especially as they pertain to "Connected, Balanced, and Cohesive
Community", "Strong and Safe Neighborhoods", "Diverse Cultural, Educational, Recreational,
and Economic Opportunities", and "Cost Effective Government and Fiscal Stability". Listed
below are selected draft broad strategic themes that support these City Strategic Themes, and
also give a sense of the direction the Department proposes to go during the next five years.
Connected, Balanced, and Cohesive Community
>' Maximize relationships throughout the community and within the City
Strong and Safe Neighborhoods } Maximize resources and collaborative use of community centers
)' Explore and implement park development
Diverse Cultural, Educational, Recreational, and Economic Opportunities )~ Broaden access
Item//, Page4
Meeting Date: 07/15/03
3~ Determine current recreational interests of the community
} Optimize the use of existing facilities and fields
)~ Re-determine program philosophy, priorities, and effectiveness
Cost Effective Government and Fiscal Stability )~ Broaden revenue opportunities
)~ Improve program delivery
GOALS
Included in the Strategic Plan is a set of 1-5 goals for each broad strategic theme under the nine
key areas, as shown in Attachment A. These goals provide more specific direction for the
Department.
NEXT STEPS
Implementation of the Strategic Plan is the final piece, and involves the following next steps:
Developing objectives that include measures, targets, and initiatives to meet targets, and
which are aligned with Council's priorities
Monitoring progress and reporting on results
Eventually developing individual staff objectives that will be aligned with Department
objectives
Communicating the intent and purpose of the strategic plan to all staff within the
Department to ensure buy-in
The Recreation Department is confident that this strategic plan provides clear focus and direction
for the next five years, and will ensure that the public receives the very highest service possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of implementing the many goals outlined in the Recreation
Department Strategic Plan has not been calculated. These costs will be determined when
preparing the bi-annual General Fund and Capital Improvement Projects budgets over the life of
the five-year Strategic Plan. Besides City funds, grants and general fundraising are also
planned as significant revenue sources for implementation of these programs and services.

A Message from the Recreation Department Director and Chair of the Parks and
Recreation Commission
Our Recreation Department's mission is to enrich our community through recreational
opportunities and services. The Chula Vista community has seen expansion in the east
and re-development in the western portions of the city. Only through a thoughtful and
careful strategic planning process can the Recreation Department keep pace with this
rapidly changing environment and stay "on mission."
During the past six months, the Recreation Department and other key city staff members,
Parks and Recreation Commission representatives, and many knowledgeable community
leaders gathered together and collectively recommended the strategies and goals included
in this strategic planning document. We heard the voices and viewpoints of our many
constituents. We accumulated the knowledge and information needed to perform
effectively and efficiently in the future. And £mally, we reached consensus on our future
direction and are now prepared to focus our resources and energies toward our operations
in an optimal way.
Most importantly, we now have a unified vision of the critical place that recreation
occupies in our social fabric. Our vision is one of a community that achieves learning,
self-discovery, balance, and essential life skills through recreation.
We extend our sincerest thanks to all of the people who made this process possible.
~,gck Martin Larry Perondi
~i-ector, Chula Vista Recreation Department Chair, Parks and Recreation Commission
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The thought and care that the Recreation Department's Strategic Planning Steering
Committee brought to this strategic planning process was inspiring to all participants. A
revised Department mission statement, and newly created statements of values and vision
were among the highlights of new ideas and concepts that emerged from the process.
The City of Chula Vista Recreation Department Strategic Plan 2003-2008 offers a series
of broad strategic themes(directional statements) and a list of detailed goals under each
broad strategic theme for the Department to achieve over the next five years. Recreation
Department and other City staff members, plus Parks and Recreation Commission
members and community volunteers provided needed perspective and critical input for
the information and conclusions presented here. Although the strategic plan was
developed prior to development of the City Council's Strategic Themes, it is completely
consistent with them.
This strategic plan will help the Recreation Department to focus its priorities in response
to a rapidly evolving environment and ensure that staff is working toward shared and
agreed-upon goals. The strategic plan will help ensure that the Department's activities are
aligned with the Council's themes and priorities. The Recreation Department's chances
for future success are already greatly enhanced by its commitment to building a vision of
success that is shared among all.
METHODOLOGY
In October 2002, Roderick Reinhart, the City Of Chula Vista's Manager of Strategic
Plarming and Fund Development, met with Buck Martin, Recreation Department
Director, to assess the Recreation Department's readiness for planning, identify the
specific issues to be addressed and decide on whom to involve. A fourteen-week
timetable was created for conducting the public input phase of the strategic planning
process. Subsequent meetings were held to discuss the format for the mission/vision/
values retreats and recruitment of a Strategic Planning Steering Committee chair and
committee/sub-committee members.
Recreation Department staff prepared documents that addressed the Department's recent
history, key organizational events, shifts in priorities over the past fifteen years, and lists of
current issues. An analysis of each program area's strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/
threats (SWOT) was also conducted.
Two half-day mission/vision/values retreats were held on November 25 and December
18, 2002 with the Recreation Department's Director and staff members, Commission
members, and key community representatives. A draft of a new mission statement and a
list of agreed-upon Departmental values were created by the conclusion of the second
retreat. Work was also begun on a vision statement and later meetings of an appointed
"vision team" yielded the Department's new vision statement.
Recruitment of members for the Strategic Planning Steering Committee and all
committees and sub-committees was completed. A survey of Elements of Effectively
Managed Organizations (EEMOTM) was cimulated to all staff members. Results were
collected and compiled.
The following committees and sub-committees were identified to serve the Strategic
Planning process:
· Center and School Program/Community Outreach Committee
· Aquatics Committee
· Athletics Committee
· Senior Programs, Therapeutics and Inclusion Committee
· Staff and Volunteer Sub-Committee
· Communication/Marketing Sub-Committee
· Facilities and Fields Sub-Committee
· Finance Sub-Committee
· Management Sub-Committee (Recreation staff only)
Recruitment of the Strategic Planning Committee chair and members, and Sub-
Committee chairs and members continued. Parks and Recreation Commission chair,
Larry Perondi, agreed to chair the Strategic Plamfing Steering Committee. Management
staff members were asked to prepare current program/services overviews and goals
documents for subsequent committee review.
The Strategic Planning Steering Committee held its initial meeting on January 27, 2003
and reviewed the following information:
· Mission/Vision/Values retreat results
· Department history
· Department organizational chart
· Current program and program evaluation information
· Demographic information and 5-10 year projections
· Results of the EEMOTM survey
Over the ensuing 14 weeks, each of the committees and sub-committees met for three
1.5-hour meetings. The Strategic Planning Steering Committee met two additional times
on April 3, 2003 and May 7, 2003 to review all of the recommendations from the
committees and sub committees. Each committee and subcommittee drafted
recommended Broad Strategic Themes and composed goals and suggested action steps
that supported their recommended themes. All of the draft recommendations were
reviewed and edits have been integrated into this final document.
After the third and final Steering Committee meeting, the Recreation Department
management team and staff met for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing program
and management goals and reviewing possible objectives to be enacted over the next five
years.

gathering area for informal socializing. Poetry phrases are embedded within
the concrete circles to serve as a discussion and focal point.
The comfod station is located within proximity to the tot lot and picnic areas.
The floor plan design takes into consideration the architectural vernacular of
the modernized agrarian theme. Construction materials include, stone
accents, painted stucco, and galvanized gates.
Commissioner Strahl asked if the walk-way/path went around the park, and if
provisions for dog deposit stations were strategically placed and accessible.
Mr. Caughey responded that the path/walk way did go around the
parameter of the park, and dog deposit stations were placed throughout the
park. These items are standard in all parks.
Commissioner Salcido asked if secondary lighting was a provision in the park
for security purposes.
Mr. Gamble (Landscape Planner II) responded that security lighting was a
provision along the concrete pathways.
Commissioner Strahl commented that he would like to see the basketball
courts lit.
Ms. Hofmockel (Principal Landscape Architect) responded that discussion on
lighting program elements in parks would be discussed at the June meeting,
or whenever the lighting policy is placed on the agenda.
The Commission discussed the proposed name "Horizon Park", and decided
that it would fit the park well
MSC (Salcido/Rios) (Vote 5-0-0-2 Weidner and Rude absent) to approve the
proposed Park Master Plan in Otay Ranch Village 1 West as presented with the
caveat that lights fo the basketball court be stubbed underground, and

Parks and Recreation Commission
May 1,5, 2003 Page 3
elements that include: General Plan Concept, Goals, Specific Segment Issues
and Recommendations, and Implementation and Management. This Master
Plan is tentatively scheduled for presentation to the Planning Commission on
May 28. Mr. Bazzel discussed specific segments, issues, and recommendation
related to each element.
Commissioner Rios asked if the Greenbelt was considered a park.
Mr. Bazzel explained that the Greenbelt was not entirely owned by the City of
Chula Vista, but other jurisdictions owned much of the open space.
Commissioner Salcido stated that the equestrian rink in Rohr Park should be
changed to a more functional park since Rohr Park is not equestrian oriented.
Chair Perondi commented that this was a well thought out planned concept,
and he could see the strong cooperation between all municipalities.
Chair Perondi opened the floor for comments by the public.
Mr. Peter Warty, representative of Crossroads II talked briefly about the
presentation. Mr. Watry stated that he was an enthusiastic supporter of the
Greenbelt concept when if was developed 15-years ago, and that over the
years, the concept was changed without public input. He also stated that
that the original concept of the Greenbelt was an open space separation,
and asked when the Greenbelt changed from open space to a trails plan?
He also informed the Corhmission that he submitted his Greenbelt concerns
and changes to the Planning Department earlier in the day for consideration.
He asked that the Commission, and city staff change their culture in decision
making to include public input. In addition, Mr. Warty requested that the
Parks and Recreation Commission not take action on the Greenbelt Master
Plan, until they have sufficient time fo review ali the information from the
public.
Ms. Janeen Reed serves as a volunteer patrol and representative of Bonita
Trails Organization. She talked briefly about the open space trails, and
greenbelt areas and stated that these areas are all important in the concept.
She stated that the community needs the Rohr Park equestrian rink, because
there are no public horse arenas. She went on to say that the area in Rohr
Park is integral to the history of the region, and that the number 1 request
made by kids in the National City area is to ride a horse. She also stated that
with the construction of SR 125, there would be a reduction in the equestrian
area at Summit Park. In addition, trails are used not only be equestrians, but
bicyclists, walkers, and bikers, and their use evolves over time. She asked that
the Commission not move the horse rink from it's present location in Rohr Park
because currently, this is the last public horse arena in the area.
Commissioner Strahl stated that before he takes action on the Greenbelt
Master Plan, he would like to receive more information that includes the
Planning Department's comments and public comments.
M$C (Strahl/Rlos) (Vote: 5-0-0-2 Weldner and Rude Absent) that the Parks and
Recreation Commission approves the Master Plan in a conceptual way with its
many poslttve altrlbutes, but cannot approve It until they receive more public
Input and Planning Commission Input. It Is requested that Mr. Bazzel returns in
June with comments from the Planning Commission.

consider and recommend to the City Council that the Master Plan be
updated and include Rohr Recreation area, golf course, 3-acres of land, and
the land by Central Avenue. He went on to say that public input is needed
on how they see this recreation area.
Discussion took place as to whether the City of Chula Vista is allowed to utilize
the three-acres adjacent to the golf course for purposes not related to the
golf course or City use. The Commission raised the question as to how the
property was acquired and whether that acquisition and its associated
financing allowed the lease of the property to the County of San Diego for a
library or other uses or purposes.
Mr. Griffin (Assistant Director of Building and Park Construction) stated that he
would talk with the City Attorney's office, and will report back to the
Commission as soon as he has an answer.

Bay Banquet Center and 2 triangle parcels along Bonita Road and

Re: The Stephen & MaJ;y Birch Foundation. Inc.: Proposed Action on High School Site No. 13
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
This fIrm represents The Stephen & Mary Birch Foundation, Inc. The Foundation, as you know,
owns land within Village 7 established under the ütay Ranch General Development Plan. This land
is affected by Item No. 15 on the Council's agenda this evening, a proposal regarding consideration
of a site for High School No. 13.
The Foundation opposes expedited processing of a Village 7 SPA plan requested by McMillin ütay
Ranch LLC ("McMillin"); objects to the preselection of a "preferred site" for a high school on the
Foundation's property in advance of the SPA planning process being undertaken; and adamantly
opposes a high school on the portion of the Foundation's property being proposed by the SPA plan.
The Foundation requests that, in its deliberations today and on this matter in general, the Council
consider the following:
1. The process of selecting a site for High School No. 13 began less than 20 weeks ago. While
the process was initiated on account of, and predicated on, a determination by the Sweetwater
Union High School District that it required a site for the high school to be selected by June to
permit opening for the 2006 school year, the haste with which this matter has proceeded has led to
insufflcient investigation to determine the most appropriate site. The proposal before the Council
today to focus on a specifIc site is the result of a proposal by a particular landowner (McMillin) to
provide a portion of the site and related improvements. The proposed site has not been selected
because it is the optimal location for this high school. Expedited processing of a SPA plan for
Village 7 is the price of this landowner's offer to donate a portion of the site, not the result of a
determination by the City that this expedited processing is needed independently to meet the City's
housing or other development needs. Focusing on this specifIc site, and the expedited processing,
will impede thoughtful consideration which should be the hallmark of the planning process. It will
not lead to the best siting decision. While the agenda item before the Council this evening does not
ask the Council to approve the high school site proposed by McMillin, the process in fact has an
DOCSLAl:451111.2
o
ORRICK
The Mayor and
Members of the City Council
July 15,2003
Page 2
inherent bias towards this site. The site will be the focus of the study, and, as a practical matter, is
likely to be selected absent a major problem, rather than the site being selected as a result of the
environmental, trafflc and other land use studies required to be undertaken during a normal
planning process.
2. City staff has stated, and the Foundation agrees, that, to meet the deadlines in the expedited
processing schedule for a Village 7 SPA plan, "the cooperation of all landowners" affected by the
proposal and the process is necessary. The Foundation is the principal landowner affected by the
high school siting proposal. The Foundation opposes location of a high school on this site, and
believes that there are other, preferable sites elsewhere in Village 7 and in Village 10, among
alternatives which staff has considered. The Otay Ranch GDP, as adopted in 1993, contemplated a
high school site in the northeast portion of Village 7, in the vicinity of the intersection of Birch Road
and State Route 125. While this site was briefly considered in the last few weeks in connection with
City staff study, thoughtful consideration of the reasons, if any, why this site should now be
abandoned has not occurred. Other sites in Village 7 and a site in Village 10 likewise have not been
thoughtfully or thorougWy studied. The premise of selection of the proposed McMillin high school
site is that construction of an access road to the site must begin immediately if the site is to meet the
construction schedule desired by the Sweetwater Union High School District. This advantage is lost
if the processing schedule cannot be met. The Foundation believes that the expedited processing
schedule is unrealistic and cannot be met. The Foundation is willing to cooperate with the City, the
school district and other landowners to reach a considered decision on a high school site which is in
the best interests of all parties, but it is not willing to accede to the McMillin proposal unless the
appropriate analysis has been undertaken.
3. The McMillin proposal for a high school site and expedited Village 7 SPA processing has an
unacceptable practical consequence to the Foundation. As the GDP was initially structured and
contemplated, the Foundation's approximately 47 acres ofland in Village 7 were to be utilized for
residential purposes. The land now owned by McMillin was burdened by a potential high school
site. The consequence of the current siting proposal (together with the required dedication of
approximately 19 acres of the Foundation's Village 7 land for an SR-125 interchange) is that the
Foundation will have no land available for development in Village 7. The land available for
development by the remaining Village 7 landowners, in particular McMillin, will have the benefIt of
the additional residential allocation. The practical consequence of the siting proposal is transfer of a
material economic benefIt to the other Village 7 landowners, in particular McMillin, and the
imposition of this economic loss on the Foundation. This is an unacceptable result. The proposed
high school site, which is the basis of the proposal before the Council today, is not under the
ownership or control of the proponent, McMillin. McMillin owns substantially less than half of the

site. The proposal in fact offers someone else's land - the Foundation's - to obtain a
disproportionate economic benefIt for the proponent.
The Foundation appreciates the opportunity to present these comments, and will appear at the
Council's meeting this evening.
