Completely oppose. This is ridiculous, have you seen traffic. Olympic Parkway and Telegraph is like a freeway.
We can't bring more people, especially in that area. The new Millennia area is enough. The housing already in
the mall area is hideous and an eyesore. I feel like that land is already being developed for housing and this is just
a formality. As elected officials, I hope you listen to all the opposed citizens and listen to us. This will bring crime,
more people, more traffic and take away a nice mall for families to enjoy. I just bought a home here and this is
making me regret my decision.

The population in this area is lacking sufficient services: police stations, fire department, security, hospital and
schools. We are experiencing weekly car break-ins, home and car thefts, and other crimes that the police
department is not equipped to handle. The increased housing will cause traffic jams, gridlock and delays in
commuting to work. There is not enough infrastructure to support the additional traffic. Also, the parking
shortage in the communities needs to be addressed. Cars are forced to find alternate parking on surrounding
streets and cars are constantly being towed in the condominium communities. Eastlake needs parking
alternatives, grocery stores, restaurants, a car wash, gas stations, and other business that generate income from
taxes. The units/homes in Millenia, along Olympic Parkway, and near the Otay Landfill provide enough housing
options. We do not need any more housing. Stop building in the East Lake, Otay Ranch and surrounding areas.

The Mayor and staff have yet to fully put together a full and complete infrastructure to handle the current housing
and crime in the area. Until the people voting/deciding (who probably aren’t even residence of the proposed
area) are able to put into place the building of Police Stations, medical facility perhaps, more stores to boost the
current area economy, there should not be talks about more housing. It really sounds like a plan to enlarge
pockets vice do what’s best and smart for the area and it’s current residents. You already approved another hotel
on the corner of Olympic and Eastlake Prkwy. Makes no sense at all.

There is a greater need for local services to support the current community. Provide more funding to open
another police station, fire station, gas station, etc, so that when new housing arises, it is not a stress upon
current resources.

We do NOT need any more housing! Especially at the expense of the few places to shop we have on this side of

community services and infrastructure. These critical areas need to be addressed prior to new building.

It is very upsetting to know that you are voting to sell out your constituents yet again. The people that live and
have lived here for years. The mall was a place introduced to the community as a place for entertainment with
businesses and restaurants for all to enjoy.
The city is being jam packed with homes/units at the massive Millenia buildout, all the homes by the Otay Landfill,
the homes that are proposed between San Miguel and Jamul, etc. People have enough options as it is.
If you just stop for a moment and calculate all the homes/units and people you are cramming in and onto our
already busy roads without any plan to add a satellite police station for an already high crime-stricken segment of
the city (East of 805), or plans to hire more firemen for areas that are fire hazards.
STOP and count. Enough is enough!
When will you consider us, the people who actually live here.
We are all tired of it!

Oppose until full clarification of the proposal. There are rumors that it is proposed that Otay Ranch Mall be
reduced or eliminated, replaced with 900 new condo units. In the agenda attachment, I see that 24 low or
moderate units must be added to existing housing developments to satisfy an existing mandate. What is true,
please? How many new units of what types, at what locations are begging provided for approval? What are any
specific plans to change the Otay Ranch Mall? Thanks

There is already an extraordinary high density of population in this area, without needed infrastructure of police
and medical coverage. The response time for police is well beyond prudent safety measures. This will do away
with a number of the eating establishments. Parking is so over stressed in the majority of the multi-family
condo/apartment areas, it reduces the ability of emergency and maintenance providers access to the units, let
alone any guest parking, within reasonable distance. Access roads to the area have already been modified,
reducing access to the areas. This will do nothing to improve the quality of life in these areas, and will greatly
reduce the property values of single family homes. Please reconsider this project, and look for something to
provide economic viability to the citizens, instead of the developers.

We STRONGLY oppose more housing units in the Eastlake area, given there’s already an exorbitant amount of
people, growing crime rates, fewer policing funds @ present & in the future, given our problems with funding &
especially w this pandemic!! We cannot possibly afford more traffic & the overstretched PUBLIC SERVICES to
accommodate the growing needs of the people already residing HERE!
Why would our City allow more density & less services to our communities here.
Is anyone interested or keeping track of our needs for services besides MORE inexpensive housing? The Board
in the City of C.V ought to analyze the NEEDS of our current population before selling out our commercial land
destined to provide more infrastructure & direct services to our communities already who are established here!
STOP!
Once upon a time, the City of CV sold us the idea of a nice business, leisure, restaurant & shopping area near the
Otay Lakes reservoir Area & we were deceived, cheated & you dishonored that obligation which we accepted in
our CC& Rs for Eastlake.
NOW - you’re selling off the land for the mall?! Why??? Are we in that much trouble fiscally to sell our shopping
areas again?
Our huge concerns w this project are:
SAFETY
Need for MORE POLICING
Need for MORE SERVICES
HIGH CRIME rates are growing
Higher drug paraphernalia
Adolescent crime
Already establishing drug houses
A mental health hospital on the way
Need more stores in our area for the pop. Already here! I VOTE NO!

The City must stop collection of license plate data immediately. Each day that the ALPR surveillance dragnet
continues, our community members are at risk of getting caught up in this arbitrary and massive surveillance
dragnet. Every day we feel our civil liberties are threatened. And every day our demands are ignored or
dismissed, we lose faith in our government.

As a 17 year resident of D4 and director of the American Friends Service Committee, a human rights
organization in San Diego, I write to express my dismay that Mayor Salas is being dismissive about the concerns
community members expressed about the CVPD's use of ALPR technology. At the last City Council meeting,
Mayor Salas stated she was willing to have a conversation about CVPD's use of ALPR technology only until the
pandemic is over. Meanwhile, while removing ICE and Border Patrol from the list of recipients is good, over 800
other law enforcement agencies continue to receive the data CVPD collects. This poses a serious risk to civil
liberties of all who reside, do business, or simply drive through Chula Vista. Vigilant Solutions, the company
storing the billions of data of Chula Vista residents and others, is a private company profiting from our digital
footprint, and this represents a dangerous slippery-slope for our privacy and civil liberties. I urge you to take
action. City of Chula Vista officials must commit to transparency and accountability. Doing so would mean
having an urgent conversation about the ALPR program and convening public forums to discuss the matter.
Thank you,

Chula Vista’s continued use of ALPRs and its contract with Vigilant Solutions is in violation of our police
departments commitment to transparency and compromises our police departments trust with community
members. It is a huge problem that CVPD was able to enter this contract without community notice or approval. In
addition to violating the spirit of SB54 (CA Values Act), it creates a slippery slope whereby law enforcement
agencies of other jurisdictions can abuse the information collected by the CVPD. I ask that City officials
discontinue the contract/data collection program and that CVPD immediately stop using it and work on
implementing new policies that assure all surveillance technologies be vetted by City Council with ample
opportunity for community input into the decision-making.

The ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties joins with Chula Vista residents in affirming their right to be free
from intrusive, discriminatory and dangerous government surveillance. We strongly urge the city council to end all
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) data sharing, suspend the use of ALPRs and adopt a
comprehensive surveillance ordinance.
Decisions about acquiring and using advanced surveillance technology should be firmly under democratic
control. Surveillance technologies are disproportionately used to surveil people of color, immigrants and political
activists - particularly when acquired or used secretly, without input from a diverse group of community members
and without robust oversight protocols.
Adopting a comprehensive surveillance ordinance will ensure residents have a say in surveillance decisions that
impact their communities, their lives and the lives of their families. True community involvement and transparency
in public safety is when residents participate in decisions about acquiring and using ALPRs, drones or cameras.
An ordinance will ensure that finite city resources aren’t spent on costly, ineffective and invasive surveillance that
creates more problems than it solves.
We strongly urge the city council to respond to community concerns by ending all ALPR data sharing, suspending
the use of ALPRs and adopting a comprehensive surveillance ordinance.

I’m writing to bring awareness to an issue that effects all of us.
We often hear about the dangers of drinking and driving. But did you know that driving under the influence of
drugs is also a big problem?
Sadly, San Diego County set a record in 2020 for the number of people killed because of intoxicated drivers -
even though the streets and highways were less crowded because of the pandemic
Part of the reason is a significant increase in the number of people driving under the influence of marijuana and
the prescription drug Xanax.
These were preventable deaths, as San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott said in a widely published commentary.
A new study from the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that about half of American teenagers
who use marijuana on a regular basis, admit to driving while high.
This trend must be changed. If a person has used marijuana, they will not able to drive safely. Paying attention,
reacting quickly, staying in one lane - all of these abilities are diminished by marijuana intoxication.
Another drug – Xanax- is also responsible for many of the DUI cases
As this new year begins, I hope that everyone will make a promise to never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs – and never ride with someone who is under the influence.
When you go out, always carry the number of a rideshare service or someone you can call for a safe ride home.
And please share this information with others.
Thank You

I have lived in the bay area and seen first hand what "affordable housing" brings to areas. This will not be a route
that will let the city of chula vista grow. But will hinder the community and stretch our resources even thinner.

The over population has not just brought higher crime rate in the city of Eastlake and Otay Ranch, as well as
rodent infestation due to the high quantity of trash that is accumulated.
The City resources are stretched thin, with Police, Fire Department and ambulances having such a small area
with high density community it will pose issues in Emergencies. Such as immediate evacuation, Only three main

The residents of this community were behind the project that built the mall in the first place. Now in order to
“benefit the general fund” the city plans to turn its back in the small business that are still trying to make it and
larger stores like Barons that have recently moved in. Not only does this plan increase housing and increase
student size in already overcrowded classrooms. Let’s not to mention the uptick in crime as population density
has increased. Is the city not happy with the huge expansion that’s going to happen as part of the master
community plan out on Proctor Valley Road? At least that had further infrastructure in mind

While I understand the need to accommodate Chula Vista's population growth and also the tax revenue this will
bring, our city is currently overcrowded. Our schools, especially on the East side, are too overwhelmed. While
more elementary, middle, and high schools are in the plans, the district budget shortfalls are not making this
possible. Our police department also does not have enough manpower or resources to effectively protect and
serve our community. I respectfully ask that no more housing be approved until these issues are fixed. It is not fair
to the current residents and is a major safety issue.

It's already too congested as it is. Crime rate is going up and only 4 police officers to patrol the entire area. It's
insane the amount of "housing" you all are putting in and not looking at the bigger picture. It's not the same
anymore. You all are just out for the money and not concerned one bit about the families that live there. Cars are
being broken into or stolen, people are being robbed just walking on the streets. How about we fix what we have
now before adding even more problems to the ever growing pot. I doubt any of you live in this area so since it

The are has progressively grown over the last 10 years and it shows in the traffic and congestion in the area.
Adding more homes to an area intended to be used for retail and other services will only worsen the problem. We
should be addressing the lack of police presence instead of adding more housing.

East Chula Vista is seriously lacking a police presence in this community. When police are called it takes too long
for officers to arrive with the proper back up. This puts officers and the public at risk.
I pulled my child from public school due to the overcrowding at the middle/high school level. The school district is
failing and the public views the school board members as criminal.
I think the council needs to work more at cutting costs and balancing the budget. What ever happened to the
money from that half cent tax increase? Remember? The tax for added police and roads you already promised.
This plan looks like greed rather than a plan to better the city.
Council, please work on all the broken promises you made to get into office instead of another money grab.

I live in the Winding Walk neighborhood of CV, across from Otay Ranch mall. There is a ton of construction still
happening in the area, including the development of housing on the SE side of the mall, at Olympic and Eastlake.
We don't have the infrastructure to support more housing - our schools are at max capacity and we need police
station on this side. The one i the mall is never open. Turn that into a police station and hire more officers. Before
you approve even more housing, I think you should evaluate the impact the current housing developments are
having on our area. As I mentioned, we're already overloaded but I know in government you like to pay lots of
money for studies that the residents can tell you about already. But that's besides the point. We don't need more
housing - we need more community support and infrastructure. We approved a bill for more police last year and
haven't seen squat done about brining more police to this area.
So let me reiterate, I OPPOSE the building of more housing. I don't know you could even think more housing
would be ok without first getting us the new schools, police, community support, etc that we already need. If you
vote yes on this, I will be voting NO for your re-election when the time comes. VOTE WISELY.

Absolutely not. You have already put a bus pass through out beautiful town and crime has drastically increased.
Above that all of the low income housing you have also approved has increased crime. When is enough enough.
I did not buy my home to live in a high crime area with a crumbling infrastructure. City hall get your act together
ASAP and deny this request. Lower taxes for those wanting to have a store in the mall and bring businesses
here, don't drive them away like you have already done. Shame on you mayor and members, shame on you.

I believe it’s clear that the community is against this plan. It is also clear that vandalism has been increasing in the
area. While on the short term an ambitious plan like this one would benefit the pockets of some due to the price
housing demand in the area, on the long run it will only negatively impact it, significantly. Starting with safety,
vandalism, etc, things that are not being prioritized in the community will only make things worst. Having 900
more condos will only make things worse! Doesn’t seem having a well staffed police department in the area is a
priority... but this is??
Either a strong police department, or a strong sports facility to promote discipline across the new generations is
what we should be discussing! Not this! Already a lot of our taxes are being deviated to other areas, without even
discussing with the people supporting the community by paying those taxes?

I have been a resident of Eastlake for 20 years. The city council and managers have failed to keep up with the

significantly impacted by allowing these proposed housing units. Currently, there is not adequate traffic
enforcement on these roads or Telegraph despite the best efforts out our fine police department. We have one
very over crowded middle school that cannot handle more students. City council members have said before, we
need more business, more commercial interests to generate the tax revenue to be able to fund our schools and

Respectfully, we all live in & love all of CV, CA.
And when my kids bought their homes in Eastlake, over 19 years ago, they moved in because they were
“promised” on paper - in their deeds- a beautiful master planned community with many great amenities for the
children, to include a nice mall.
I stay w them on occasion and know they did not sign on to live in an ever growing, DENSELY POPULATED area
with condos in a mall... reason for this Agenda item!
What the master planned community did not include was selling off the OR Mall parking lot, to build 900 condos
which may average at least, approximately 3600 persons more.
The city needs to HONOR its PROMISES NOT CONTINUE TO BREAK THEM. This should be illegal- I’d dare
say!
I believe this parking lot, should NOT be a “priority” piece of land for more housing. Others are asking WHY NOT
build other types of infrastructure to benefit those who already live here & pay high property taxes?
Clearly, this is a matter of keeping promises and fulfilling your legal obligations as a City that committed to
HONORING ITS CITIZENS!
I AM GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED AT THIS BOARD’S LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND NEGATIVE RESULTS IF
IT CONTINUES GOING DOWN THIS PATH OF DISLOYALTIES to its people! How many big you will benefit by

To the Chula Vista City Council membership and Mayor Salas,
File # 20-0538 Agenda # 8 Otay Ranch Town Center Initiation Request is not consistent with the current residents
of Chula Vista.
What the current Chula Vista – District 1 and District 3 residents have been advocating for are listed below:
1. Fight against out-of-control growth and overcrowding in our schools.
2. Ensure schools, roads, and infrastructure are in place before new housing being built.
3. Support a Joint eastern police substation to increase police visibility and improve response time.
4. We support Public Safety, and we support an increase of Fire Fighters, Police Officers force, and City Workers
before any new “Properly Planned” future growth.
5. File # 20-0538 Agenda # 8 Otay Ranch Town Center Initiation passes, what are the legal ramifications if the
City of Chula Vista City Council approves Agenda item # 8 Otay Ranch Town Center Initiation Request?
While City of Chula Vista City Council members may have the legal authority to act inconsistently with their plan,
the question of whether and when they should do so is a more complicated question. I hope that the current
governing City Council membership carefully considers the comprehensive plan before deciding on a rezoning. If
the City Council membership board will act contrary to the plan's policies, it must explain why.
Very Respectfully

increase in property crimes, very little police presence, overcrowded schools, and dangerous/speeding drivers.
This area does not need more housing.

NO NO NO !! Otay Ranch is SO congested now. Ever since all the other condos have been built the traffic is
horrible, our VONS shopping center In/Out burger traffic is 75 cars long at dinner and backed up thru the entire
shopping center and out onto the street, very dangerous. We do not have the infrastructure to support this. Only
1 grocery store, 1 gas station, hundreds of cars a day piling in line to wait at In/Out burger, traffic backed up at the
lights, and NOW you want to remove the Otay Ranch Town Center to build MORE CONDOS !!!!! Obviously the
council members do not live out here and are not experiencing this congestion. Not to mention all the new traffic
on Olympic Parkway at rush hour. And now the crime is getting horrible. Every day on our neighborhood watch
emails we have numerous counts of car break-ins, vandalism, stealing packages, breaking into homes. And now
2 young women have gone missing. This NEVER happened here before. Now that all the new condos went in
and the bus line opened, the crime has increased exponentially. I am truly saddened and outraged by what is
happening in my neighborhood. Please do NOT approve them to build more condos. It's just not fair to do this
to our community. The Town center is the only place our whole area has for shopping. This brings much
business to our area. If anything we need more stores to open to support the residents we already have. We
certainly do NOT need more housing and more crime. NO MORE!

To the esteemed Council, City Atty, Brookfield, and Mayor Salas, I want to warn you of the serious legal
consequences you face with a decision to re-zone this property. Let it be clear that I acknowledge the acute
housing shortage in CA, as well as the City's mandate to comply with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
Chula Vista needs more housing, as does the entire SD region. However, re-zoning this property does not comply
with the spirit or the letter of the General Plan, and more critically, the legally binding Climate Action Plan (CAP).
The CAP specifies GHG and VMT reduction targets that can only feasibly be met by increasing density in areas
with better transit accessibility, lower average daily VMT, and higher existing transit mode share. The 2019
Census ACS shows that just 0.4% of workers in this Census Tract actually took public transit in 2019 vs 94% who
drove. This is even after your much-celebrated South Bay Rapid opened. As you may know, SANDAG’s SB743
analysis shows that households in this Tract have an average daily VMT of 20 miles per capita. And the ACS also
shows that 72% of households in this tract own 2 or more vehicles. Western CV tracts closer to trolley stations
and transit centers have upwards of 48% lower VMT. Re-zoning underperforming malls makes sense for places
like H St Center that is just blocks away from the trolley and has 35% lower VMT. Make no mistake, we stand by
ready to take immediate legal action if you approve this rezoning.

Chula Vista representatives continually take the interest of big business over the community. In the last few years
I have seen continued bad decisions from elected officials that have introduced increased levels of homelessness
and crime into the Eastlake area through the introduction of the transit system and low income housing.
Recently, once again the city council has put the needs of business over the Eastlake community by allowing an
in patient psychiatric hospital to be built in close proximity to homes and schools despite numerous and continued
objections for the community members. Now once again without consideration for the residents of Eastlake, the
elected officials are determining that the best interest of the Eastlake community is to eliminate the retail stores,
farmers market and add more multi unit housing. To an over crowed area that does not have the school
infrastructure to support additional children in the current classrooms. These continued poor decisions that are
detrimental to the Eastlake community call in to question the decision making capability of the elected officials.

people will walk, use bikes or transit instead of cars. Where is there anything much in walking distance anyway?
Not to mention busy streets.
The General Plan was balanced, but you guys have consistently from day one unbalanced it to enrich developers
who contribute to your campaigns as well as their relatives and employees. We need change in what

also a lack of public safety personnel to cover such a large area to begin with with.
Adding additional housing to the area without addressing the needs of the current population is just a mistake.
The need to additional housing needs to be found else where maybe in an area where kids don’t have to be
bused to another elementary school due to overcrowding. This is just ridiculous and shouldn’t even be

This area does not have enough community support to serve more residents. There is NO police station on the
East side of chula vista, and it is much needed. The schools that are within the vicinity are impacted and there
are not enough schools in general. Chula Vista needs more elementary schools, middle schools and high
schools to serve all these new residences already build and proposed. The crime is increasing. The surrounding
neighborhoods in East Chula Vista (along 125) are declining in respects to behavior, nuisances, traffic, crime,
etc. There needs to be a full plan of developing and staffing a police station, minimum one more of each
elementary, middle, and high school, a reasonably priced gas station, and a costco or club store, in order to
even consider seek l developing more residential units. Also, all of the residential property owners who are
paying Mello Roos on top of property taxes deserve better. They deserve their mello roos to serve their
communities. There has already been too many zoning/license changes around the same area, destroying the
beautiful neighborhood and COMMUNITY that otay ranch once was. Please consider our children and what they
are losing when you make these considerations.

I vigorously oppose this proposal. No other jurisdiction in San Diego county is taking in high-density housing at
such an alarming rate and with an infrastructure that is mediocre at best. Where are you expecting the kids from
900 new units go to school when all the surrounding schools are overcrowded? Such a project will also
exacerbate the traffic congestion on Olympic Parkway and even on SR 125. If Westfield wants to bail, city officials
need to get creative for once and come up with a much better alternative than high-density housing. How about a
badly needed police station or a full-size library?

Please don’t remove a gathering place in our community! Otay Ranch Mall is a great open space that we need it
improves our property value and creates a hub in our neighborhoods. Don’t let years of poor mall management
be the scapegoat. Novo Brazil, a gym and Barron’s market are just the beginning of thoughtful uses of the space.
Opening up the toll road for all would help this mall get more traffic. Add retail people need to the mall and make it
a destination. Old Navy, a craft store and more great local restaurants would make this mall even greater.
Adding more housing with already over full schools and no plan for additional middle and high school campuses
is not the answer. This is a “master plan community” stick with the plan and let the community continue to develop
as was planned.

(broken down by categories-drugs, assaults, burglaries, etc), school population/class size/graduation rates/test
scores, fire/police/emergency response times, and how the numbers are changing as more housing is built here.
Then show me how current numbers are extrapolated to show expected numbers if new housing is built where
the mall is now. Before seeing any studies I can tell you that instead of houses we need more schools, a police
station and open park area with football & baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts and recreation center. Small
specialty, eateries and convenience shops can be included; no more chain restaurants or pharmacies. Of course
these things cost money and don’t generate tax income for the city, but essential public necessities like these will
make Eastlake a more desirable place to live and attract families of all constructs that are the core of a

a plan to accommodate all this extra traffic when our roads are already congested? We also need to increase

There would need to be more schools as I wouldn’t want my children’s school size to be impacted. Also, following
Nextdoor and other security applications, there seems to be more graffiti and crime. If it was changing to a
hospital or more mid level business, I’d consider it. We don’t need more people in the area. That’s why we bought

Strongly oppose. Explain to me how building denser housing within the Otay Ranch Mall will benefit anybody.
Traffic and Crime has increased over the years. So they will convert the parking space into dense living areas,
multistory apartments. Attachment 3 on the first page is written 904 apartments. Page 11 has current and future
land use. I don't see any changes to the sqft of retail stores so I am assuming the multistory apartments will just
be added. Why have a Mall if there is no longer any parking available. Show me how this is beneficial. Very

I am opposed to amending the general plan from commercial to mixed use housing at Otay Ranch Town Center
Shopping Mall. The Otay Ranch Town Center is a community asset that should be preserved as commercial
space for the long term. Once commercial space is lost it will never be regained. I understand current trends put
pressure on developing more residential and less commercial but their are many very successful malls that are
thriving in today's environment. Just because the Otay Ranch is not "thriving" at the moment does not mean its
zoning should be forever changed. Please resist changing the GP this dramatically based on one developers
vision for future profits. Otay Ranch Mall should work for a second anchor tenant and stick with the plan. Don't

I firmly oppose. The Otay ranch mall is an important component of the Otay ranch community. For families to
spend time together that is local; and residents that can invest in their business to support the local economy.
More condos/apts will only overburden an already limited police force; create an atmosphere of separation and
undermine community by saturation. Otay ranch is struggling to maintain a small town feel and this project will
definitely undermine that endeavor.

I firmly oppose this proposal. First, the mall is frequented by many families as it is a place to spend time together.
There is the public library where families go to read books together, the water spouts where families who do not
have a pool can spend time with their loved ones on hot days, the various eateries that provide a family
atmosphere. There is the farmer's market that allows merchants to conduct business and allows families to spend
more time together. Also, the stores and restaurants at the mall provide jobs for many people in our community.
Adding more homes is not sustainable. The schools will be over crowded, there will be more traffic, and more
housing is unnecessary.

STRONGLY OPPOSE!!! Shame forever on the CV City Council of this should ever pass. We've lived in Eastlake
for 32 years during which it was voted as the best planned S.D. community for over ten years.We know many who
moved solely because of intolerable traffic. The only convenient direct access road is a toll road, 125; this will
worsen congestion to 805. 900 MULTI-FAMILY condos will predictably reduce the quality of life here in this highly
desirable South Bay community. The planned elimination of Otay Ranch Mall is the last nail in the coffin. It is a
beautiful center for what has been a great community. It hasn't been marketed well. This proposal is a very
unimaginative, simplistic, short term "solution" with serious long term negative ramifications for CV. It's time for far
more creative minds and long term solutions that ENHANCE the quality of life of not just Eastlake, but South Bay
in general. These changes will drive even more people out of this area, specifically those who can afford to move
to pricier, more conveniently located locations with an easier commute. That must be considered in the whole
value assessment of this regressive, greedy developer proposal. Our city council is entrusted with the health of
our community rather than the self interests of developers. Please don't betray your own citizens you represent.
Instead, aggressively market the mall as a destination and pearl of this community and South Bay in general. Get

I have been a resident of the Eastlake/Otay Ranch community since 2009! And to see what is has become is
awful, this area used to be nice but ever since it has started to expand, it has been over crowded, there is too
much traffic, and I personally believe that there are way too many people cramped up in a small location, to add
more houses in that area would be a huge mistake, houses in this community are being built wherever there is
free space. Literally the new community along Heritage is right next to the land fill, where is the common sense in
any of these new building ideas, This community has gotten big enough, all of this building is ruining this once
quiet and peaceful neighborhood and the landscape. The homeless population here has increased since that new
MTS rapid transit system was installed, vandalism here has increased, people in the neighborhoods have
reported car thefts, porch pirating, vandalism, etc. And it all started once the area started to expand!!! Maybe
instead of building more houses and cramping up this place even more you guys should consider placing a
Eastern Chula Vista Police Department first, because for everything that has been happening here with all the
vandalism at least the police response time would be faster. All in all I do not support the expansion on the mall or
anywhere else for that matter. At least not until the security of this neighborhood has been restored.

Strongly oppose. The area is already overcrowded and traffic continues to increase. More importantly the area
does not have the proper amount of schools to support our current students. Overcrowding our Middle and High
schools even more will only negatively impact our children and community academically and emotionally; as
teachers and staff will have even less time to focus on students with even larger class sizes. The East community
also needs more gas stations and grocery stores that can support current residents. Additionally, before we add
more housing to the community we also need to ensure proper amount of Police and Fire to ensure fast
emergency response times in the East Area. Otay Ranch mall should be focused on increasing retail, dining and
entertainment with a family appeal for our community to continue to enjoy and contribute back into our own city;

What is the justification for rezoning the Otay Ranch Town Center? This is another example of the city allowing
expansions which are inconsistent with the original Otay Ranch and Eastlake plans. Consider that the current
residents are lacking services and infrastructure such as middle/high schools, parking and police. Millenia
housing sits across the street from the mall is nearly the size of downtown SD (80 city blocks). Alay/Swuerte,
located on the mall property, is building 292 units. How much more high density housing can the city pack into the
area? We are already facing increased traffic, congestion and crime. Adding 904 more condos accomplishes
nothing, but more overcrowding. We need the businesses, jobs and activity that the mall provides plus services
mentioned above. Not more high density housing in an already over saturated area.

If the mall is taken away, we would possibly consider moving away from this area as more housing would just take
away this precious amenity that our community has. It would also take away the businesses that we utilize so
frequently. We are saddened to even think that after all of the money that we have spent to have these necessary

OPPOSED to this consideration for more housing instead of a shopping mall. Please reconsider keeping this mall

I oppose the further erosion of the character of our neighborhood. The Otay Ranch Mall was in the General plan
as part of the overall Otay Ranch project. The City has already granted the building of residential units on a large
portion of the site. Now you want to consider the full site except for 9 acres being converted to super high density
residential use? You have a large planned community just to the south with a significant amount of high density
residential. Where will the neighborhood shop? Honestly if you do away with the Otay Ranch Mall it will have a
detrimental effect on the value of our homes. Lastly, what about the traffic impacts. The roads in the area were
not planned for an amendment to the GP to allow not only the new 900 high density units but also the impact from
the previous approval of the residential units on the parcel. Land exists throughout the area for planned and
approved residential development. Why remove one of our nicest retail venues to add more homes in a very

This is a horrible idea! We are already so over populated in this area and this would just make it so much worse.
The area is over crowded, stores like Walmart and Target are over crowded and the roads are very over crowded.
I have lived in Otay Ranch since 2005 and I have seen the crime in this area increase SO MUCH since I've lived
here. This is not the suburban safe neighborhood that it once was and I KNOW that it's due to being
overpopulated and not enough police to assist everyone with their safety! What we NEED is more police stations
due to the current uptake in crime around Otay Ranch and Eastlake.
Also the Otay Ranch Mall is such a beautiful mall and I know that our family (and I'm sure many other families)
love going there to shop or eat or go see a movie. I realize that during this pandemic, the stores are suffering and
a lot have closed during this time, but I am confident that once this pandemic has past, that the stores at the Otay
Ranch Mall will thrive again and people will be so excited to go there again, even just to walk around. We DO
NOT need any more condos or homes built in this area. The condos that were recently built by the mall look so
stupid and out of place. Their front yard is literally a mall and cars driving thru. Who planned the ones that are

I stand opposed to the request for a Land Use Amendment Initiation to change the land use designation for a 75-
acre portion of the Otay Ranch Town Center shopping center from commercial retail to to mixed-use residential.
As a 18-year resident of the Eastlake community, my family has been affected by the substantial growth and
development of the community over the years. Unfortunately with continued housing development, the community
has become noticeably saturated with people and traffic.
There have been various positive and negative effects of this growth, but most notable is the overcrowding, traffic
and crime.
The two main thoroughfares, Otay Lakes Rd. and Olympic Parkway, that pass under SR-125 into the Eastlake
and a portion of Otay Ranch neighborhoods are often choked with excessive traffic that is a result of developers
being permitted to build housing in every nook and cranny of the area and more people moving into the
community.
The surface roads, parking and neighborhoods can no longer support this excessive growth. Aside from the SR-
125 toll road and the substandard public transportation that both do not meet the needs of residents like myself,
there has been no substantial improvement in infrastructure to counterbalance the unprecedented growth and
overcrowding.
The City, County and SANDAG should be discussing an East to West SR 905-style highway from Eastlake/Otay
Ranch that connects to I-805 and the western neighborhoods of the city.
Thank you.

housing that will make more complications? How about we add more Police. The crime has been alot worse and
we don't see anything improving or being resolved. What about schools? Schools are overcrowded. We need to
add more schools, as well as something for kids to do when not in school. A sports complex or skate park would
be a great addition. Can we put some more thought into or communities before we add more people to the mix.

This is now the third time that the developer has amended their original plan to include increased housing. It feels
as if it’s a coordinated plan with the city to approve initial designs *wink wink* with little opposition knowing full
well it will be later amended to increase housing lining the pockets of the developer and the city.
Where are the increased police officers, traffic mitigation, more schools? Where are the plans for that?
That area is packed already with homes, Milienia and the north side of the mall which is now amended for more
housing.
Who on the council will say no until infrastructure is ready? Who is looking out for the current residents?

The City needs to make sure infrastructure exists before this plan moves forward. Not just the obvious like water,
roads, parks, and traffic impacts, but schools! Specifically middle and high schools. CVESD has done a good job
of building elementary schools to keep up with growth in SE CV. But SUHSD has done a terrible job. All East side
schools have been terribly overcrowded for years. The district does not and likely will not have the money to build
new schools anytime soon. They have land near Vons they’ve owned for years and planned on building a multi
use middle/high school. But they’ve not had the money. The City should partner with the district and developer to
ensure all infrastructure, especially middle and high schools are built before this development moves forward!

housing. Schools and services are impacted as it is. Not to mention the traffic will get even worse. This is
insane. Those Retail spaces should be the Restaurant Row we were promised long ago but switched to housing
(Lake Pointe). The miss management of that Malls use from the get go is not our fault. That Farmers Market in

It is imperative that the City of Chula Vista, as well as cities nationwide, stand-up for our democracy. The
appalling denigration of our nation’s capital by an out of control mob needs to be addressed legally and swiftly.
Those who participated in the attack, those who incited the mob or orchestrated their mayhem, and those who
spouted unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that fueled their behavior must be held accountable. Violence
breeds violence. It is never acceptable or the answer. As a City we must denounce this behavior.

Good Evening Mayor Salas and City Council Members,
I support this resolution calling for accountability for the violent attack on our capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
All participants in this deadly attack should be held responsible. Those who planned the attack, provided
resources for the attack, rallied others to carry out the attack, and participated directly in the attack must all face
appropriate consequences.
We must keep our democracy strong. Thank you!

Dear Council members,
I strongly support Agenda Item 12. Violence as a political tool is an attack on our democracy. Lying about the
outcome of an election is an act I condemn. The deaths that occurred were horrific and a result of people
repeating lies on a non stop basis. Thank you for composing this resolution.
Best regards,
Rita Clement

I am heartened somewhat by the response from many areas of our nation. Democracy and violence do not
belong together.
