041-1700-1900) IN THE OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
AREA (KNOWLTON REALTY ADVISERS, L.L.C)
On June 3, 2003, the Council approved for first reading the ordinance adopting the
mitigated negative declaration (IS-02-006) and specific plan (PCM-02-04) to allow the
development of the Auto Park North expansion project on the former Omar Rendering
plant site on Main Street, within the Otay Valley Road redevelopment project area.
Staff's recommendation is for the Council to adopt the ordinance and for the Agency to
consider and adopt the resolution approving the owner participation agreement with
Knowlton Realty Advisers for the project. (Director of Community Development)
Senior Assistant City Attorney Googins asked that the proposed resolution be modified to
include the standard language giving the City Attorney the authority to make minor
modifications to the agreement as may be necessary.
Agency/Councilmember Salas asked if a provision of the owner participation agreement would
require the City to offer a financial incentive to a dealer, even if the market did not warrant such
an offer. Senior Assistant City Attorney Googins replied that the provision does not obligate the
Council to do more than consider a proposal by a dealership and would not commit the City in
any way legally to provide financial assistance. Agency/Councilmember Salas asked about
signage for the auto park. Senior Community Development Specialist Beard responded that the
City is requiring the dealerships to form a self-directed, group marketing and maintenance
organization to establish a common sign plan and a self-assessment program to raise funds on a
monthly basis for cooperative advertising. The dealerships will all be part of the Chula Vista
Auto Park.
ACTION: Agency/Councilmember McCann then offered Ordinance No. 2918 for adoption and
Agency Resolution No. 1835, as amended to include the standard language giving
the Attorney authority to make minor modifications to the agreement as may be
necessary, headings read, texts waived. The motion carried 5-0.
