I've lived in Chula Vista for over 10 years, just down the way
from the Sunbow Community. My mom, who is 78, has lived in
Chula Vista for 8 years. She likes living in her community,
knowing her neighbors; seniors like herself, looking out for
each other. She feels safe. Her church is up the street, her
favorite stores are nearby. She wants to continue to live
independently but with the price of everything increasing and
living on a fixed income, she stresses about paying her basic
expenses like rent, utilities, food etc. I've looked around for
Senior Apts., hoping to find something a little more affordable.
I've come to realize, it's almost impossible for a senior, living
on a fixed income, to live on their own in San Diego County.
This project preserves roughly 70 affordable units for low-
income seniors. Please vote yes on Sunbow's request and
continue to make affordable housing available to Seniors, like
my mom. Giving them a little peace of mind and the
opportunity to live live independently and to stay in their
community.

Currently living in the Irvine area and had heard about Lennar
building homes on the Sunbow property. I think it would be
great to have some medium priced housing in the area that
would be affordable for me.

Stacy Dion Hello Mayor Salas and members of the City Council,
I own a townhouse here in Chula Vista and was impressed to
learn about the community benefits agreement included in
upcoming Sunbow project in the UT.
Ive heard the discussion about the need to preserve industrial
land, but what weve seen in a lot of instances is where this
type of property isnt going to high-paying tech jobs. Its going to
gyms and storage facilities which isnt providing the benefits to
the city that this project would. The monies outlined in the
Community Benefits Agreement will help bring new jobs, add
parkland, and invest tens of millions of dollars more into our
community than what an industrial project would bring.
I think this type of agreement is a really smart way make sure
that the city is able to generate revenue for the projects and
initiatives needed most, instead of just accepting that a 30-year-
old plan is still relevant. Kudos to you and to the applicant for
working together on this.
I hope you approve this project. Thank you!

Im writing to share my support for the new townhomes at
Brandywine and Olympic Parkway.
My kids are in their early 20s and buying a home is a priority.
Looking forward, homeownership is becoming less and less
likely for them, unless they get help from me or have dual
income households. These new townhomes would help give
options to young people looking to break into the housing
market. If you look on Zillow, there isnt currently anything on
the market like this. Chula Vista is a great community and I
hope that were able to keep our young people here, instead of
them moving to cheaper states.
Thank you.

This will not increase the affordability levels at Villa Serena as
this is a senior housing project. 10% of the new units should be
available to new homeowners per the City's Balanced
Communities Policy and Housing Element Goals and
Objectives. No new affordable housing for working families
will be available. Thank you.

Will Lennar enter into a covenant to ensure that the units will
be sold in the $400,000 price tag as stated in the presentation?
