Before the vote, there is no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the City Council or staff removes the item from the Consent Calendar. Public Comment provides an opportunity to address the City Council on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Under the Brown Act, the City Council cannot take action on matters not listed on the agenda. Public Hearings are held on matters specifically required by law. Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally require a public hearing. Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held in very limited circumstances as authorized by law. CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS Resolutions are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the City Council and are usually effective immediately. Ordinances are laws adopted by the City Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal, or supplement the Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances require two hearings and go into effect 30 days after the final approval. Proclamations are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members, highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.

Purpose The Rohr>Wohl Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”) creates a bridge to evolve the site from the prominent legacy of Rohr Industries in the fabric of Chula Vista into a dynamic innovation job center of the future. This Specific Plan establishes the procedures and requirements to approve new development that celebrates history, propels the transition to technology employment in a new economy, and welcomes retail and visitor-serving uses with an inviting, activated gateway that complements the Chula Vista Bayfront. Through a cohesive Specific Plan that thoughtfully connects different uses through placemaking, the site will be developed to respect each planning area, seamlessly weave together a diversity of environments, and reestablish a hub for the Chula Vista community, visitors, employees, and businesses to thrive again. Specific plans are a mechanism to ensure that projects develop in an organized and cohesive manner. Specific plans incorporate a development framework for detailed land use, circulation, infrastructure (including drainage), sewer and water facilities, and urban design and landscape plans. Comprehensive design guidelines and development regulations are included to guide and regulate site planning, landscape, and architectural character within the Specific Plan area to ensure that design excellence is achieved during project development. The Rohr>Wohl Specific Plan establishes the procedures and requirements to approve new development within the Specific Plan area. 1-B. Legal Authority As stipulated in California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450-65457), cities may prepare Specific Plans for the systematic implementation of the City’s General Plan for all or part of the area covered by the General Plan. The emphasis of this and all Specific Plans is on standards and development criteria intended to supplement and assist in implementing those of the City’s General Plan. Its contents address the planning and funding of necessary infrastructure and facilities as well as land uses. To attain the objectives of this Plan, the entire project area has been re-designated “Specific Plan Area” (SPA). An Environmental Impact Report (SCH Number 2022100138) evaluating the impacts of this plan has been prepared for the project area. 1-C. Scope Amendments to the General Plan, Land Use Plan, and Local Coastal Program are proposed to be processed concurrently with Specific Plan adoption, which would amend the existing I-G (Industrial General) zoning to three new zoning districts: Planning Area A (PA-A), Planning Area B-1 (PA-B-1), and Planning Area B-2 (PA-B-2). These new districts would provide for permitted, conditionally permitted and prohibited uses within six Land Use Categories: Commercial Retail (CR), Commercial Visitor (CV), Commercial Office (CO), Light Industrial (LI), Regional Technology Park (RTP), and Business Park Flex (BPF). The existing zoning designation of I-G would be amended to complement the Collins Aerospace Campus to allow a flexible combination of light industrial, office, commercial and visitor-oriented uses to complement both the overall Chula Vista area and the western part of Chula Vista. 1 Page 20 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Figure 1 - Location Map DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 20258 SITE DESCRIPTION2 CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT POINT LOMA CORONADO PACIFIC OCEAN SAN DIEGO BAY SAN DIEGO INTL AIRPORT DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO CHULA VISTA IMPERIAL BEACH BARRIO LOGAN NATIONAL CITY MOUNTAIN VIEW HILLCREST BONITA CITY HEIGHTS ENCANTO OTAY MESA WEST OTAY RIVER VALLEY 75 163 94 282 54 N PROJECT SITE N.T.S.

Location, Access, and Setting The Specific Plan site area encompasses 44.78 acres of land in the Chula Vista, located east and south of the Collins Aerospace Campus, with the eastern boundary adjacent to Interstate 5 (I-5) and the southwestern area abutting the approved Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan area in the City of Chula Vista in San Diego County. The site is more specifically situated north of H Street, south of F Street, east of Marina Parkway, and west of the I-5 and Bay Boulevard. Figures 1, 2 and 3 depict the location of the proposed Project within the region and the City of Chula Vista. 2-B. Planning Context The site was utilized for agriculture prior to the development in 1941 of the Rohr Aircraft Facility, which employed thousands of Chula Vistans over more than 60 years. The property in PA-A is developed with an approximately 282,004-square-foot building. Known as Building 29 (795 H Street), the building was used for research & development, tooling, and warehouse and distribution of aftermarket aircraft products until February 2021. The buildings in PA-B-1 and PA-B-2 included two large buildings totaling 733,977 square feet and eleven outbuildings totaling 32,860 square feet, for a total building square footage of approximately 766,837. The buildings were used for manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution operations, which ceased in approximately 2020. The buildings were demolished in 2025. Historically, the project site was used for agricultural purposes prior to development of the manufacturing facilities in 1941. As a result of the prior uses, soil remediation and clean up efforts are necessary to properly and thoroughly address residual contaminated soils. Chemicals associated with historical operations have been identified in soil and groundwater, View of the specific plan area looking west toward the Gaylord Resort View of the specific plan area looking north at Planning Area A SITE DESCRIPTION 2 Page 22 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Figure 2 - Site Context DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202510 SITE DESCRIPTION2 H STREET TRANSIT CENTER CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT CHULA VISTA CENTER SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL BAYFRONT TRANSIT STATION SAN DIEGO BAY MUELLER CHARTER SCHOOL SWEETWATER MARSH N CHULA VISTA MIDDLE SCHOOL VISTA SQUARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LILIAN J.

In 1998, the SDRWQCB issued Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 98-08 for the Rohr facility to abate discharges from its facility. The SDRWQCB issued CAO R9-2021- 0042 in July 2021 that includes directives and timelines to remediate soil, soil gas, and groundwater at the property. PA-A, PA-B-1, and PA-B-2 of the project site are located within the Chula Vista Local Coastal Program (LCP) and currently lie within the Industrial General (I-G) zoning and Industrial (I) General Plan land use designations. Land uses surrounding the project site include vacant properties, Collins Aerospace, and Seven Mile Casino to the north; Marina Parkway, Chula Vista Harbor, and future development as part of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan to the south; Bay Boulevard and I-5 to the east; and Chula Vista RV Resort and future development site for the Gaylord Pacific Resort Hotel and Convention Center to the west. The Rohr>Wohl Specific Plan location is shown on Figure 2. 2-C Relationship to Planning Documents Relationship to City of Chula Vista General Plan and Zoning The Chula Vista General Plan was adopted in 2005, amended in 2021 to incorporate the City’s updated Housing Element, and amended again in 2024 to incorporate the City’s Safety Element. It includes policies and standards to guide the development of the City. Specific plans must demonstrate consistency in regulations, guidelines, and programs with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan. The Rohr>Wohl Specific Plan is prepared in conformance with the goals and policies of the City of Chula Vista General Plan as amended, in providing a commercial/light Industrial use on an underutilized property, creating new employment opportunities, and providing regulations that support the success of an employment area of the City. The existing land use designation of General Industrial (I-G) is proposed to be amended by this plan as stipulated in Section 4. Relationship to Chula Vista Bayfront Local Coastal Program and Specific Plan The Chula Vista Bayfront Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan was adopted in 2012 and amended in 2017. It governs the development of 722 acres of the City’s bayfront. The Specific Plan property is designated for Industrial General (I-G) uses. This zone and land use designation provides for large-scale and more intensive industrial uses such as manufacturing and public utility plants. The land use designation under the LCP reflects the historic industrial uses of the site associated with Rohr Industries. The land uses proposed under this Specific Plan are intended as a departure from heavy industrial uses to light industrial uses, business park, and visitor serving uses which are more compatible with and complement other uses planned for in the Specific Plan. This Specific Plan is consistent with LCP Land Use Objective LU.1, which encourages a mix of uses and LU.3 which allows for continued industrial uses in areas already designated for those uses. 2-D Private Land Use Restrictions (CC&Rs) Land use restrictions have been or will be recorded upon the properties within the Specific Plan area due to residual 2 Page 24 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202512 SITE DESCRIPTION2 Figure 3 - Site in Context of Master Plan & Existing Transit* NORTH *This map is conceptual and is shown for illustrative purposes only Page 25 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda 13ROHR > WOHL SPECIFIC PLAN SITE DESCRIPTION 2 contaminated soils caused by prior uses. These private deed restrictions, which are in the form of recorded covenants, conditions & restrictions (“CC&Rs”), prevent future owners and users from using the properties for certain uses as follows: (a) The Property shall not be used for any purpose other than the Permitted Uses. As used herein, “Permitted Uses”means the following: (i) industrial; (ii) warehouse; (iii) re- tail; (iv) office; (v) hotel; (vi) sports facilities; (vii) other commercial purposes; and (viii) Ancillary Recreation; provided that, in each case, under applicable law, including all Environmental Laws, such use does not require the Property to meet environmental clean-up or remediation standards for residential uses; and provided further, that any permitted improvements or facilities shall be constructed in a manner that prevents the users of such improvements or facilities from coming in direct contact with any residual contaminated soils located thereunder; and provided further, that the Property shall not be used for any of the following uses: (1) single or multi-family residential (including school dormitories), (2) school (excluding higher education schools, e.g. with students over the age of 18 years old), (3) daycare, (4) group home, (5) nursing home, (6) hospital, (7) church or other place of congregation or worship, (8) playground or other recreational use (other than Ancillary Recreation) or (9) any other residential use. (b) No surface or subsurface water at, on, or under the Property shall be used for con- sumption by humans or animals, irrigation or any other purpose that might bring it into contact, directly or indirectly, with humans or animals. (c) No underground storage tanks or piping for Regulated Material (except for any Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System) shall be maintained, used or installed in, at, on or under the Property. As a result, all uses in the land use table of this plan must fall under the Permitted Uses enumerated in the CC&Rs. Notably, this excludes any residential or related mixed-use opportunities. 2-E Existing Development Agreement The Specific Plan area is subject to a Development Agreement By and Between City of Chula Vista, Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, and Rohr, Inc., operating as BF Goodrich Aero- space Aerostructures Group, dated December 30, 1999 (approved by City Ordinance No. 1999-2800), as amended by Amendment to Development Agreement recorded March 23, 2011 as Docu- ment No, 2011-0153006 (approved by City Ordinance No. 3178). 2-F Soils and Geology The site is located on the western portion of the coastal plain of San Diego County. The site is underlain by two surficial soil types (consisting of undocumented fill and Holocene-age Bay Deposits) and two formational unit (consisting of Old Paralic Deposits and the San Diego Formation). Undocumented fill associated with the existing site improvements is present across the majority of the site to depths of about 5 to 10 feet. In general, the fill consists of loose to medium dense, moist to wet, silty sand and possesses a “very low” to “low” expansion index (expansion index of 50 or less). The fill located below the groundwater elevation possesses a potential for liquefaction. Additionally, a zone of debris fill is located along the previous shoreline of the bay (along the western edge of the property). These materials are composed of concrete and trash debris mixed with soil that extend to depths of 5 to 10 feet. The upper portion of the undocumented fill is likely unsuitable for the support of proposed structures or structural fill and will require remedial grading limited to the groundwater elevation and/or saturated soil conditions. Groundwater is encountered at a depth of approximately five to 20 feet below the existing ground surface across the plan area (approximate elevation of one to seven feet above Mean Sea Level). Groundwater will likely have a significant influence on construction of deep utilities (if constructed), and during remedial grading. De-watering will likely be required for excavations below the fluctuating groundwater elevation. In PA-B-1 and PA-B-2, site grading will likely consist of removal of the upper portions of the surficial materials (undocumented fill and/or bay deposits) within areas that are to receive new fill or structures supported on shallow foundations. These removals will likely be limited to within two to three feet above groundwater elevations due to saturated soil conditions. Current Page 26 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202514 SITE DESCRIPTION2 soil conditions and the presence of near-surface groundwater will likely require additional investigation prior to site redevelopment. 2-G Hazardous Materials Operations began at the site during World War II, and over time, resulted in the discharge of chemicals into the soil and groundwater. Since 1941, structural and engine components for use in the aviation and aerospace industries have been manufactured at Rohr’s Chula Vista facilities, which are generally known as the North Campus Property and include PA-A, PA-B-1, and PA-B-2. Prior to 1941, the site had other commercial and industrial uses. A building on PA-A, known as Building 29, was used for research & development, tooling, and warehouse and distribution of aftermarket products until February 2021. PA-B-1 and PA-B- 2 were used for manufacturing operations, which ceased in approximately 2020. Chemicals associated with historical operations have been identified in soil and groundwater, including, but not limited to, VOCs, heavy metals, PHC’s, PAHs, and PCBs and have been investigated and remediated under DEH and SDRWQCB oversight. In 1998, the SDRWQCB issued Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 98-08 for Rohr Industries to abate discharges from its facility. The SDRWQCB issued CAO R9-2021-0042 in July 2021 that includes further directives and timelines to remediate soil, soil gas and groundwater at the property. Rohr Industries is currently addressing and meeting these directives. 2-H SDG&E Easement and Railroad Right of Way A 150-foot wide San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) easement and a 40-foot wide SD&AE Railroad right-of-way easement bisects the Specific Plan area and runs in the north-south direction between PA-A and PA-B-1 and B-2. No structures are allowed in this easement area. Major overhead transmission lines have been undergrounded through the easement area, however, the Specific Plan anticipates this area should be maintained clear to allow for private drives, surface parking, landscape, and a potential extension of the Bayshore Bikeway. 2-I Sea Level Rise The City of Chula Vista’s Climate Adaptation Plan (CAP) provides a framework to prepare for a changing climate including the effect on sea level rise. Strategy #10 of the CAP provides specific actions the City will take to address the potential effect of sea level rise on the community’s infrastructure and built environment. The Chula Vista Bayfront Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LCP) identifies the site as urban/developed and outside of environmentally sensitive habitat areas. Consistent with LCP Policy EM.1.E.2, buffers within the Local Coastal Plan area have been designed to accommodate potential areas of future sea level rise inundation and are identified on Exhibit 12a of the LCP. The existing LCP also provides for an adequate amount of habitat migration within the identified buffer areas based on a projected sea level rise. The Specific Plan relies upon California Coastal Commission’s 2024 Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance (Update ) for “Sea Level Adaptation Strategy for San Diego Bay” which assumes an intermediate to high risk scenario for the year 2050 of 0.8 to 1.3 feet of sea level rise. For this reason, the site’s minimum finished floor elevation is proposed to be raised by approximately 1.9 feet to account for potential sea level rise. This would result in the finished floor elevation of the buildings to be greater than an elevation of 12.5 feet based on the NAVD 88 vertical datum.

Overall Concept and Vision The Specific Plan envisions a mixed-use regional technology district at the bay that will reinvigorate the bygone industrial job center as a thriving job center of the future. The rich maritime and industrial history of the Chula Vista will inform a cohesive district with the unique spaces and places for a welcoming visitor gateway that accommodates the spaces and uses that will propel the innovation economy. 3-B. Project Objectives The Specific Plan implements the goals of the City of Chula Vista General Plan through the following objectives: • Generate a diverse spectrum of employment opportunities and regain for Chula Vista the approximate 1,000 jobs that existed on the site during Rohr Industries operations. • Foster Chula Vista’s capture of leading businesses and employers in existing and emerging economic sectors that drive the regional economy. • Encourage clean industrial, research & development, and office use designations (e.g., defense, Port-related, e-commerce, technology, hospitality and medical device/ life sciences). • Allow a flexible combination of light industrial, commercial and visitor-oriented uses to enhance both the existing Collins Aerospace campus and the greater Chula Vista area, while taking advantage of its proximity to I-5, the Port of San Diego, and various defense industry assets and contractors. • Attract significant capital investment to Chula Vista at vacant and underutilized properties. • Highlight the proximity to the E Street and H Street Trolley Stations to encourage transit usage by visitors and workers. • Expand mobility options of today and the future and thoughtfully address Vehicle Miles Traveled (“VMT”). • Leverage ideal location in the bi-national region, with proximity to Mexico, convenient access by air (SAN, CBX) and enhanced border crossing infrastructure under development. • Provide flexibility for land uses and development that evolves as the Chula Vista matures over the coming years and decades. • Provide for roadways, infrastructure, and utilities to support on-site land uses as the project evolves. • Facilitate the establishment of design guidelines and development standards consistent with the citywide design guidelines for commercial and industrial uses and Local Coastal Program guidelines. • Develop a plan that is economically feasible and capable of implementation based on reasonably anticipated economic conditions such that no economic burden to the City of Chula Vista would occur.

Land Use Concept The Specific Plan area is located at the transition between visitor- serving and residential uses of the Chula Vista Bayfront’s future and the “working waterfront” of its present and past. This Specific Plan proposes to amend the existing I-G (Industrial General) land use districts to three new land use districts: PA-A, PA-B-1, and PA- B-2. See Figure 12 - Land Use Map on page 25 for a distribution of planning areas across the Specific Plan area. These new districts provide for permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses within six Land Use Categories: Commercial Retail (CR), Commercial Visitor (CV), Commercial Office (CO), Light Industrial (LI), Regional Technology Park (RTP), and Business Park Flex (BPF). See Table 1 - Planning Areas below for gross site acreage by planning area, Figure 12 - Land Use Map on page 25 for location of planning areas, and Table 2 - Land Use Table on page 26 for permitted land uses. Land Use Purpose and Intent The purpose and intent of the land uses proposed is to provide for commercial/light Industrial uses on an underutilized property, creating new employment opportunities and successfully restoring what was a major job center for the City of Chula Vista. Land Use Policies The following land use policies apply to future development within the Specific Plan: 1. Allow for Business Park Flex uses in PA-A to provide the flexibility for an eventual transition from light industrial, business park, and R&D in the near-term to commercial, public facing uses over the long-term. 2. Allow for Regional Technology Park, Light Industrial, and Commercial Office uses in PA-B-1 to encourage and support clean industrial, research & development, and office use designations designed to respond to local demand drivers and attract the types of tenants currently growing in San Diego’s target industries, e.g., defense, Port-related, e-commerce, technology, hospitality and medical device / life sciences. These uses would include light manufacturing, assembly, light/medium wholesale storage and distribution, and research and development. In addition, this planning area would encourage uses necessitated by the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, such as potential space for convention and trade show exhibitors, staging companies, commercial laundry, catering, and wholesale food and restaurant suppliers. 3.

Land Use and Development Standards Development in the Specific Plan area shall be governed by this section and by Tables 2 & 3 - Permitted Uses and Development Standards on pages 26 through 31. The standards in this Specific Plan shall replace and take precedence over the base zone regulations of the City of Chula Vista Zoning Ordinance for the subject property. Where the regulations of this Specific Plan are silent, the comparable regulations of the City Zoning Ordinance, and all adopted ordinances, regulations, standards, and guidelines of the City of Chula Vista shall prevail, as deemed appropriate by the Director of Development Services, or designee. Where the development standards contained in the Specific Plan conflict with development standards of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the standards contained herein shall apply. Land uses in the Specific Plan are divided into three zoning districts: PA-A, PA-B-1, and PA-B-2. These new districts provide for permitted, conditionally permitted and prohibited uses within six Land Use Categories described below: Commercial Retail (CR), Commercial Visitor (CV), Commercial Office (CO), Light Industrial (LI), Regional Technology Park (RTP), and Business Park Flex (BPF). Commercial Retail (CR) Designates areas for general commercial activities and services of a more intensive nature, including but not limited to shopping facilities, major service-oriented uses, food uses, and other retail uses that are designed to serve the City or the region as a whole and are typically located primarily along major transportation routes. Commercial Visitor (CV) Designates areas for large-scale commercial development that serves both local and regional needs. The regulations of this zone are designed to encourage the provision of lodging, restaurants, service stations, and other activities providing for the convenience, welfare, or entertainment of the traveler. Sites are easily accessible from freeways and may contain a variety of goods and services, such as eating and drinking establishments, hotels, and motels. Commercial Office (CO) Designates areas for activities that cater to business support and personal services. Uses typically include medical and health care clinics, insurance agencies, copy centers, and other similar land uses. Light Industrial (LI) Designates areas for industrial firms seeking an attractive and pleasant working environment and a location which has prestige value. The district allows light industrial uses, office and administration facilities, research and development laboratories, and limited types of warehousing, as well as support businesses and commercial service uses. Regional Technology Park (RTP) Designates areas reserved for manufacturing, processing, warehousing and storage, e-commerce distribution, light industrial research parks, retail uses to complement the primary use; supportive amenities and services; and convenient transit access, and a broad range of similar clean industrial practices and processes that typically generate less truck traffic and noise. Business Park Flex (BPF) Designates areas to support a complementary mix of uses such as research and development, e-commerce, light and custom manufacturing, engineering and design services, breweries, and maker spaces, as well as accessory office, retail uses to compliment the primary use; supportive amenities and services; and convenient transit access. This zoning district encourages light industrial activities with low environmental impacts and supports the growth of creative industries, incubator businesses, and innovative design and manufacturing.

Circulation Concept The Specific Plan envisions a connected, walkable and bikeable place with pleasant spaces for residents, workers, and visitors to enjoy the environment. The circulation concept is to provide for a “park once” experience, where the sequence of arrival to parking or drop-off to walking to a building or outdoor space to entering a business is seamless, elegant, enjoyable, and uplifting. See Figure 13 for the Specific Plan Circulation Framework and Figure 14 for Street Section Key Map. H Street, Bay Boulevard, and G Street are existing streets and provide direct access to the Specific Plan area along the north, south, and east sides of the planning areas. Internal private drives will provide access through and within the planning areas. Truck access will be taken primarily from Bay Boulevard, G Street and internal drives and is discouraged on H Street. Additionally, the Specific Plan calls for pedestrian paths around the perimeter of all planning areas, between PA-B-1 and PA-B-2, and connecting to PA-A. A pedestrian and bicycle path extension of the Bayshore Bikeway is planned for the area between PA-A and PA-B-1 & B-2. Parking is accommodated in surface lots, located adjacent to each planning area and next to each building in PA-B-1. Dedicated walking paths connect parking areas to buildings and gathering spaces. Gateways The arrival experience to the site is also the arrival experience to the Chula Vista. As such, a heightened sense of arrival must be pronounced by key gateways in the area. The Specific Plan envisions three gateway opportunities on H Street: 1. The intersection of Bay Boulevard with H Street. 2. The entrance to planned retail on PA-B-2 on the corner of H Street and a new street envisioned in the Specific Plan (Street ‘A’). 3. The primary entry to the development which demarcates the hotel and retail pads of PA-B-2 and leads into PA-B-1. This entry may also align with a planned entrance to planned hotel/retail envisioned for the opposing southern block in the Specific Plan.Page 46 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Public Private DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202534 5 CIRCULATION *All Images are conceptual and are shown for illustrative purposes only Figure 14 - Street Section Key Map* C-3 A-1 A-2 C-1 D E F B-1 B-3 B-4 C-2 B-2 Bay Boulevard This existing roadway runs parallel to I-5 along the east property line and is designated as a Class II Collector. It will serve as an access road and buffer to I-5. See Figures 15 and 16 for representative cross-sections of Bay Boulevard - provided for reference only. H Street This existing roadway is designated as a 4-lane Arterial. Recent and existing street improvements include new sidewalks, landscape, palm trees, lighting, and a separated bicycle path on the south side of the street. The Specific Plan envisions an expanded sidewalk with landscaped setbacks and additional street trees on the north side of the street. See Figures 17, 18 and 19 for representative cross-sections of H Street - provided for reference only. Marina Parkway This existing roadway is no longer a public street and is designated for future use as a utility corridor for the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center (Gaylord). It will serve to provide a landscaped buffer and screen for service areas of the Specific Plan and Gaylord. This segment will also provide a walking path connection from Gaylord to a potential hotel on PA-B-2. G Street This existing roadway is designated as a private street for a portion within the Specific Plan boundary, while the public street portion serves as access to many public utility corridors and an SDG&E substation. It will function primarily as a service road, providing access to “back of house” areas. Truck access will be limited to this roadway. See Figures 20 and 21 for representative cross-sections of G Street - provided for reference only. Internal Drives Circulation internal to the Specific Plan area is provided through private drives. See Figures 22, 23, and 24 for representative cross-sections of internal drives.

This plan was an update to the 2010 Pedestrian Master Plan and 2011 Bikeway Master Plan and combines these two documents into one integrated mobility plan focused primarily on non- motorized users. The ATP identifies a 2.9 mile long multi-use path along H Street from Bay Blvd. to Hidden Vista Dr. and the extension of an existing multi-use path within the ATP Master Plan area that will loop around the Gaylord Resort, up H Street and over to Marina Parkway and J Street, where it connects with the existing Bayshore Bikeway South of J Street. In 2012, the Port of San Diego adopted the Chula Vista Master Plan Public Access Program, which identifies a future Chula Vista Shuttle that would loop through the Master Plan area from E Street around the Gaylord Resort and up to H Street. The City of Chula Vista proposes a new multi-use path that would run along a portion of the SDG&E and rail easement to implement a portion of the Bayshore Bikeway extension from G Street to H Street. The remainder of the easement will serve as parking, landscape, and access through the development. Additionally, multi-use paths within the plan area would connect the SDG&E and rail easement with Marina Parkway and H Street with G Street. See Figures 25 and 26 for planned multi-use path and shuttle routes. *All Images are conceptual and are shown for illustrative purposes only Page 60 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202548 Figure 28 - Chula Vista Plan Bicycle and Shuttle Circulation Plan* *This map is conceptual and is shown for illustrative purposes only NORTH 5 CIRCULATION Bayshore Bikeway Existing Multi Use Path (Class I) Future Multi Use Path (Class I) Planned Multi Use Path (N.A.P.)

Open Space & Amenities Concept This chapter describes the Specific Plan open space and amenities concept and provides polices that further that concept. Potential open spaces and amenities include a variety of community areas anticipated in the Specific Plan area, along with supporting amenities. Open Space Concept and Descriptions The Specific Plan envisions a diversity of environments cohesively connected with placemaking that relates directly to the proposed land uses and environmental context of each planning area. Each area provides an opportunity to support a range of amenities, such as: • Terraces & Steps • Roof Decks • Overlooks • Plazas • Paseos • Greenways • Boardwalks • Courtyards & Patios • Buffers & Screening A.

The programmatic- level analyses will be completed for the uses in PA-A and PA- B-2. After applying the existing trip credits, the Project-Level Analysis is forecasted to generate a net total of 5,115 daily trips with 446 AM peak-hour trips and 442 PM peak-hour trips. The Programmatic-Level Analysis is forecasted to generate a net total of 6,349 daily trips with 210 AM peak-hour trips and 460 PM peak hour trips. This trip generation budget will be used to ensure future development in the Specific Plan does not exceed the trip generation and off-site traffic deficiencies at intersections documented in the Local Mobility Analysis (Appendix K of the Environmental Impact Report). At the time that Design Review applications for development within Planning Areas A and B-2 are submitted, the specific Project Information Form (PIF) for each submittal will determine the trip generation for each planning area, together with a cumulative trip summary which includes all approved projects to-date within the Specific Plan. This cumulative summary will be compared for consistency against the Scenario Trip Budgets derived from the Local Mobility Analysis (LMA). Supplemental transportation analysis will be required if the subsequent developments exceed the trip generation budgets established in the LMA. Wastewater Service Wastewater from the project site would be conveyed by the City’s local 12-inch sewer line located in G Street. Wastewater from Planning Area B-2 flows north through private easements across Planning Area B-1, and combined flow to a single connection point in G Street. Planning Area A is also served by the City sewer main in G Street. No sewer mains exist within Bay Boulevard. The City main sewer line in G Street flows to the existing City Sewage Pump Station sited at the northwest corner of 7-A. Infrastructure Introduction and Applicability Infrastructure improvements necessary within the Specific Plan boundary and surrounding area include extensions of existing water, sewer, and roadways. New storm drains, and associated drainage improvements are also planned. These improvements are intended to complement the improvements envisioned in the Chula Vista Bayfront Specific Plan as well as planned facilities of adjacent developments. The infrastructure outlined within this subsection are conceptual, and show how water, sewer and drainage systems will be incorporated into the development Specific Plan area, as well as adjacent existing and planned development to assure adequate levels of service, as well as points of connection for future developments in the area. The concepts shown in this subsection are subject to revision, based on future building permit approvals, plan phasing, and specific needs as may be identified in final design engineering. Infrastructure improvements will be designed based on the City’s codes and regulations, the subdivision manual, the stormwater BMP manual, and other applicable manuals. Grading and construction drawings shall be supported by studies and reports including but not limited to: soils report, drainage study, Stormwater Quality Management Plan (SWQMP). Transportation & Roadways The Specific Plan development will rely on the existing roadway network, with new private drives within the development that will connect H Street and G Street and the north and south ends of the development. For more detail, see Section 5 of this plan. Development in the Specific Plan will occur assuming the existing transportation network and from planned/approved off-site improvments by other developments lcoated within the Specific Plan. The project consists of a combination of project- and programmatic-level traffic analyses. The project-level analysis 7INFRASTRUCTURE Page 68 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda DRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202556 Planning Area B-2, which then lifts the sewage into dual force mains in G Street, prior to connecting to the 78” City of San Diego Interceptor at G Street and the SDG&E railroad corridor. Development in Planning Areas B-1 and B-2 would rely on planned upgrades to the G Street Pump Station. Water Service The Project is located in the Sweetwater Authority water service area. PA-B-1 and PA-A are served by a 12” potable water main located within G Street. Planning Areas B-2 and A are served by a 16” water main located within H Street. Storm Drain On-site runoff is collected and transported by concrete gutters into private storm drains located along the westerly and northerly property line of PA-B-1 and westerly and southerly property line of PA-B-2. These private storm drains connect to existing on-site drains at their downstream discharge points. The north watershed drains to an existing private storm drain which connects to a large-diameter City of Chula Vista storm drain near the northwest corner of PA-B-1 in Private G Street. The south watershed drains to an existing private storm drain near the southwest corner of PA-B-2 which connects to a large-diameter storm drain maintained by the Port of San Diego in H Street. PA-A drains as overland flow into an existing ditch along its western property line before entering the Port’s storm drain system along H Street. Based on the most current Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for this area, the Project site is classified as Flood Zone X, which has a less than 1% probability of annual flooding. The FEMA map number for this area is 06073C1913H and the panel number is 1913. 7 INFRASTRUCTURE All drainage facilities will be designed in consideration of the following goals: • Incorporate Low Impact Development/water quality features on-site, through a combination of site specific and regional methods. • Water quality features will include a combination of controls within each building lot or site, as well as the downstream area of the planning areas. • Water quality features are to include swales, bio-retention basins, and mechanical treatment. Police Service The Chula Vista Police Department provides police protection for the city and will also cover the project site. The Chula Vista Police Station on 315 4th Avenue will provide police protection for the project and is located approximately 1 mile from the project site. Fire Protection The Chula Vista Fire Department (CVFD) provides fire protection services and emergency first response services to the project site and within the Chula Vista Fire Protection District (CVFPD). The Fire Department currently operates ten fire stations. The nearest fire station to the site is Fire Station No. 1, located less than one mile from the site. A looping fire suppression system will be provided with all new developments in the Specific Plan. Gas & Electric Within the project vicinity, gas and electric services are provided through San Diego Gas and Electric facilities. Gas and electric service will be extended to serve the site within the extension of H Street, which fronts the Specific Plan Area. All electric distribution facilities serving the project will be underground. Waste Collection and Disposal Solid waste shall be removed, conveyed, and disposed to the Otay Landfill or Sycamore Canyon Landfill by the City of Chula Vista through its exclusive franchise collection agreement with Republic Services.

Design Guideline Goals This chapter describes the design standards that apply to circulation, parking, buildings and landscape in this Specific Plan. The intent of the design standards and guidelines is to ensure that development projects are implemented consistent with the following design goals: • Buildings, landscape and open spaces support environmental sustainability and Climate Action goals of the city. • Buildings, open spaces, parking and circulation are designed to result in a cohesive, complementary, and visually pleasing environment with a sense of place. • Development results in a safe pedestrian experience, protects the privacy and security of adjacent residential and visitor-serving uses, and is compatible with the character of Specific Plan. • Buildings and landscape amenities are of a high design quality. • On-site amenities and facilities adequately serve the needs of the site’s workers and visitors. Schools The City of Chula Vista is served by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District. The nearest schools to the project site are Mueller Charter School and Chula Vista Middle School, which are less than one mile from the project site. Chula Vista High School is within two miles of the project site. Since no residences are included as part of the Specific Plan, there is no potential for affecting the demand for school facilities within Chula Vista. Public Parks Chula Vista has approximately 90 existing, proposed, and future park and recreation facilities across the city, with the nearest existing facility located in the at Bayside/Marina Park.

The intent of the design standards and guidelines is to ensure that implementing development projects are consistent with the design goals of the Specific Plan. Building Siting & Orientation 1. Buildings should be oriented and relate directly to streets, internal drives, or common open spaces, and should create an attractive presence. 2. Doors and windows should face and be visible from streets, paseos and internal drives to allow for “eyes on the street” and natural surveillance. 3. Buildings in PA-B-2 should be designed and arranged on site so as to create well-defined open spaces and common areas. For example, buildings are encouraged to be clustered around courtyards, greenways, paseos and plazas. 4. Communal open spaces and amenities in PA-B-2 should have a minimum width of 20 feet. Paseos in PA-B-2 should have a minimum width of 15 feet. 5. Informal outdoor gathering areas and pedestrian nodes that can function as community gathering spaces should be created and incorporated into the overall site design. These areas should relate to the development’s common facilities, such as parking areas, entrances, plazas and terraces. Building Form, Massing, & Articulation 6. The primary building facade (facades with primary entrances to the building) shall incorporate a minimum of three of the following detailed elements (see figures 32 and 33): a) recessed or framed windows b) break in facade plane c) change in color or material at ground level d) decorative panels e) facade treatments (e.g. awnings, overhangs, trim, sunshades) DESIGN GUIDELINES8 A Framed Openings B Break in Facade Plane C Change in Color or Material at Ground Decorative Panels E Facade Treatments (e.g. awnings, overhangs, trim, sunshades) D Page 71 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Figure 35 - Building Facade Elements*Figure 36 - Building Corner Elements* *All Images are conceptual and are shown for illustrative purposes only 59ROHR > WOHL SPECIFIC PLAN 8DESIGN GUIDELINES A Transparent Glazing B Clear Entrance C Defined Roofline Clear Signage A Framed Openings B Break in Facade Plane C Change in Color or Material Decorative Panels E Facade Treatments (e.g. awnings, overhangs, trim, sunshades) E E C D D Page 72 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Figure 37 - Building Corner Elements* *All Images are conceptual and are shown for illustrative purposes onlyDRAFT - CITY COUNCIL October 15, 202560 3. Color should be used as an important design element in the development’s appearance. The predominant colors for main buildings and accessory structures should be limited, should match, and should be generally consistent with an overall color theme for the development. Compatible accent colors are encouraged to enhance important building elements. 4. The color of relief, decorative trim, and wood frames should be distinctive yet compatible with the overall building color. 5. Materials such as brick, stone, copper, etc. should be left in their natural colors. Such materials should not appear thin and artificial. Veneer should turn corners and avoid exposed edges. 6. Finishes should be non-reflective. To prevent bird strikes, the use of reflective glass shall be restricted. Mirrored glass is prohibited. Hotel Design for PA-B-2 1. Open spaces integrated into the hotel must include activating uses such as restaurants, outdoor sitting and dining areas, and retail shops, which would be open to the public as well as hotel patrons. 2. Public access and other path-finding signage shall be placed at strategic locations throughout the hotel complex and to guide guests and visitors to and from public use areas, shops and restaurants, restrooms, and other facilities. 3. To help integrate all publicly accessible areas and provide convenience and low cost services for the general public, the ground floor of the hotel development and associated outdoor areas shall connect to a variety of pedestrian-oriented amenities nearby, which may include reasonably priced restaurants, outdoor cafes with sit down and walkup service, informational kiosks, ATM’s, public art or gift shops easily accessible to the public. DESIGN GUIDELINES8 A Transparent Glazing B Defined Roofline C Facade Treatments (e.g. awnings, overhangs, trim, sunshades) 7. The corners of buildings should be enhanced with architectural treatment which may be accomplished by pronounced building forms, additional building height, enhanced window treatments or projections (such as awnings, trellises, parapets, roof overhangs, etc.)(see figure 37). 8. The parapets of buildings shall include variations in height. Materials and Colors 1. All buildings within a singular planning area should be unified by complementary building materials, textures, and colors. Exterior columns or supports for site elements, such as trellises and porches, should utilize materials and colors that are compatible with the rest of the development in the planning area. 2. Building materials should be durable, require low maintenance, and be of high quality.

Location: The Rohr>Wohl Specific Plan is at the geographic center of the South Bay region, at a strategic crossroads between Downtown San Diego, National City, and Tijuana. Community services are abundant in this area, with retail, restaurant, grocery, education, parks and other community services within a mile radius of the site. It is an area rich with transit services, including the San Diego Trolley Blue Line, with stops at E Street and H Street. Connectivity: Existing connectivity is reinforced and strengthened on this Specific Plan, enhancing the ideal location by incorporating strong pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connections to surrounding districts, trails, bicycle infrastructure and transit services. Mobility is supported through internal drives, paseos, and multi-use paths. The following guidelines further these sustainability principles through building design. 1. All proposed buildings should be constructed with high-quality and durable building materials to minimize the replacement costs and construction waste that result from periodic renovations. Where possible, developments should incorporate materials with recycled content to divert the amount of waste generated by construction and demolition. 2. Developments are encouraged to use regional materials (locally harvested, manufactured and/or appropriate to local climate) and rapidly renewable materials for interior finishes. 3. Where possible, developments should reduce the amount of site paving; provide paving material that stays cool and allows water to filter through the soil; increase landscaped areas; and provide shade throughout the site in order to reduce ambient temperatures and solar heat gain on constructed surfaces. 4. Exterior lighting should be directed and designed to prevent direct glare into adjacent dwelling units and onto neighboring uses/ properties. 5. All buildings should be designed to increase shade and to protect residents from wind, sun, and rain with architectural features (such as, recessed windows and entrances). 6. New construction should incorporate non-polluting and non- toxic materials and finishes with zero or low VOC’s (volatile organic compounds). 7. Insulating materials and landscaping should be used to attenuate the noises generated within and outside the project site. 8. To maximize water efficiency, new landscape designs should incorporate landscape material that is drought tolerant, native, and/ or water efficient in accordance with the Chula Vista Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance (CVMC 20.12). The use of California-friendly plants, shrubs, and trees is also encouraged. 9. Landscapes within the Specific Plan area shall incorporate the use of certified compost and mulch in accordance with SB1383 regulations for organic waste reduction. 8DESIGN GUIDELINES8 Page 79 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda 67ROHR > WOHL SPECIFIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION I ADMINISTRATION 9-A.

The LUP component of the LCP must provide land use and development policies, which will ensure that development within the local coastal area will be consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Act. Both the “Objectives” and the “Policies” of the LUP are the standard of review for coastal development permits.” In addition, the LCP must contain implementing ordinances to carry out the policy provisions of the LUP. These are provided in the Chula Vista Bayfront Specific Plan and the Rohr-Wohl Specific Plan, which serves as the implementation plans for the Chula Vista LCP. Second, this LCP must be consistent with, and implement, the City of Chula Vista General Plan, which is the primary local land use and development policy document. The Bayfront Specific Plan and Rohr- Wohl Specific Plan areis a component of the City’s General Plan and represents a step toward systematic implementation of the General Plan in the Bayfront.

The Chula Vista Coastal Zone currently includes a large amount of industrial development and the National Wildlife Refuge (Sweetwater Marsh and F&G Street Marsh). It also contains one of the last remaining large blocks of undeveloped land on San Diego Bay. Regionally, the area is served by I-5, the major freeway connection between San Diego and Mexico.

Bigelow, City Clerk City of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, California cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov Re: Comments on Agenda Item No. 5.2 – Rohr Wohl Specific Plan Dear Mayor McCann, Honorable Councilmembers, and Ms. Bigelow: We write on behalf of San Diegans for Responsible Development (“San Diegans”) to inform the City of Chula Vista (“City”) that it lacks evidence to make the required findings to adopt an Ordinance approving the Rohr Wohl Specific Plan and incorporating the associated zoning changes to the Chula Vista Bayfront Local Coastal Program, which is being considered by the City Council under Agenda Item No. 5.2 at its December 2, 2025 meeting. Specifically, the City lacks substantial evidence to support the finding that the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good planning and zoning practice support the City’s adoption of the Ordinance. San Diegans respectfully urges the City Council to remove this item from the consent calendar, delay adoption of the ordinance, and reconsider its prior actions taken with respect to the Specific Plan at the November 18, 2025 meeting, so that the City can address these concerns and support the findings required by the City’s Municipal Code and applicable state law. I. STATEMENT OF INTEREST San Diegans for Responsible Development is an unincorporated association of individuals and labor organizations formed to ensure that the construction of major urban projects in the San Diego region proceeds in a manner that minimizes public and worker health and safety risks, avoids or mitigates environmental and public service impacts, and fosters long-term sustainable Page 104 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 2 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper construction and development opportunities. The association includes the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 569, along with its members, their families, and other individuals who live, work, recreate and raise their families in the San Diego region, including the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista. Accordingly, they would be directly affected by the Specific Plan’s environmental and health and safety impacts. San Diegans has an interest in enforcing environmental laws that encourage sustainable development and ensure a safe working environment for its members. Environmentally detrimental projects can jeopardize future jobs by making it more difficult and more expensive for business and industry to expand in the region, and by making the area less desirable for new businesses and new residents. Continued environmental degradation can, and has, caused construction moratoriums and other restrictions on growth that, in turn, reduce future employment opportunities. Only by maintaining the highest standards can commercial development truly be sustainable. II. SUMMARY OF COMMENTS The Specific Plan identifies a development framework for 44.87 acres in the City, located within the Chula Vista Local Coastal Program, north of H Street, south of F Street, east of Marina Parkway, and west of the I-5 and Bay Boulevard.1 The Plan would amend the existing Industrial General land use districts to three new land use districts: Planning Area (“PA”) A, PA B-1, and PA B-2.2 The new districts provide for permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibits uses within six land use categories: commercial retail, commercial visitor, commercial office, light industrial, regional technology park, and business park flex.3 Most uses are either allowed by-right or prohibited, with only religious facilities and live entertainment requiring a conditional use permits.4 The City Council cannot make the required findings in the Chula Vista Municipal Code for adoption of the ordinance adopting the Specific Plan. Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.12.020 authorizes the City Council to adopt an ordinance to create, amend, supplement or change the uses and regulations in the 1 City of Chula Vista, Rohr > Wohl Specific Plan (Oct. 15, 2025) (hereinafter “Specific Plan”) p. 9, available at https://pub-chulavista.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=56683. 2 Id. at p. 23. 3 Ibid. 4 Id. at p. 23-30, table 2.

As demonstrated below, and in the accompanying comments by biological resources expert, Scott Cashen, M.S.,5 the Ordinance is detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning practices because the Specific Plan’s Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) fails to comply with several critical California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requirements.6 First, the Specific Plan authorizes a broad range of uses that were not analyzed in the FEIR, which instead relies on a conceptual, hypothetical development scenario without requiring any future environmental review. Second, the FEIR inconsistently describes the Specific Plan, preventing meaningful analysis of its environmental impacts. Third, the FEIR fails to adequately describe the environmental setting by excluding the nearby F&G Street Marsh from the study area and failing to analyze indirect impacts to this protected area. Fourth, the FEIR’s conclusion that the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s Multiple Species Conservation Program (“MSCP”) is unsupported by substantial evidence because nighttime lighting during buildout and operation of the Specific Plan could create a significant indirect impact to nearby biological resources. The City Council cannot make the required findings for approval of the Ordinance adopting the Specific Plan because these unresolved environmental deficiencies evidence that the Ordinance is detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning practices.7 Therefore, the City’s municipal code and state law prohibit adoption of the ordinance. Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.04.570 authorizes the City Council to rescind prior Council action at any meeting. The City should delay consideration of the ordinance adopting the Specific Plan and incorporating the zoning changes into 5 Attachment A, Letter to Andrew J.

Only then can the City Council make the required findings that the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and applicable plans, and that public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice justifies such action. III. THE ORDINANCE IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE GENERAL WELFARE AND WOULD IMPLEMENT POOR ZONING PRACTICES BECAUSE THE SPECIFIC PLAN RELIES ON AN FEIR THAT CONTAINS AN INADEQUATE PROJECT DESCRIPTION The ordinance is detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning practices because it authorizes development beyond what was analyzed in the FEIR. Here, the FEIR’s project description impermissibly relies on a hypothetical development scenario and is internally inconsistent. As a result, the draft ordinance is detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning practices. A. The Ordinance Authorizes a Broad Range of Uses That Were Not Analyzed in the FEIR Without Requiring Further Environmental Review of Specific Development Proposals The FEIR does not describe the actual development pattern authorized by the Specific Plan. Courts have held that an EIR is inadequate when it describes only abstract or conceptual development scenarios, rather than the concrete project being approved, because such vagueness deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to understand and evaluate the proposal.8 This is precisely the defect identified in Stopthemilleniumhollyood.com v. City of Los Angeles, where the court rejected the use of conceptual “impact envelopes” in lieu of a real project description and held that deferring critical project details unlawfully impairs informed public participation.9 8 Stopmilleniumhollywood.com v. City of Los Angeles (2019) 39 Cal.App.5th 1. 9 Id. at p. 18-20. Page 107 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 5 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper Here, the FEIR similarly inadequately relies on an illustrative, hypothetical buildout scenario that is expressly nonbinding.10 For example, the FEIR claims to evaluate a 254,100-square foot hotel and 36,000-square foot restaurant in PA B-2.11 However, the Specific Plan imposes no hotel size or room limitations, nor does it restrict the area to this specific configuration. Although the Specific Plan includes some development standards for PA B-2, such as a 0.5 maximum lot coverage, a 2.0 floor area ratio, and a 60-foot height limit,12 the FEIR does not demonstrate that the 254,100-square foot hotel and 36,000-squre foot restaurant reflect the maximum development achievable under those standards. With a 2.0 floor area ratio applied to the 9.36-acre site,13 the Specific Plan could accommodate up to approximately 814,627 square feet of commercial development – more than three times the size analyzed in the FEIR. Nor does the FEIR analyze the full range of other permitted uses.14 As a result, the FEIR’s analysis rests on illustrative assumptions rather than the foreseeable physical changes enabled by the Plan. As a result, adoption of the Specific Plan would be detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning because the Specific Plan would authorize development beyond what was analyzed in the FEIR. The FEIR states that that [a]ssumptions on site planning, number of hotel rooms, construction timelines, and other specifics were assumed in order to demonstrate the most impactful scenario,”15 and further asserts that future development will be evaluated only if it “exceeds” the impacts analyzed in the FEIR.16 This worst-case-scenario methodology has been repeatedly rejected by the courts, as CEQA requires an analysis of reasonably foreseeable impacts, not merely 10 FEIR at p. RTC-52 (“Specific details regarding future development in the planning areas were unknown and a Specific Plan was prepared for this reason. Assumptions on site planning, number of hotel rooms, construction timelines, and other specifics were assumed in order to demonstrate a most impactful scenario.”), p. RTC-53 (“The site plans are conceptual layouts rather than detailed descriptions of future uses.”). 11 FEIR at p. 4-4, table 4-2. 12 Specific Plan at p. 31, table 3. 13 FEIR at p. 2-3. 14 See e.g., Specific Plan at pp. 23-30. 15 FEIR at p. RTC-52. 16 Stopmilleniumhollywood.com v. City of Los Angeles (2019) 39 Cal.App.5th 1, 18-19. Page 108 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 6 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper theoretical or hypothetical ones.17 The FEIR’s conditional disclaimer does not cure this defect. It simply defers meaningful environmental review. Although an envelope-based analysis may be appropriate for a first-tier or program-level EIR,18 the lead agency must clearly describe the full range, scale, and intensity of development being approved and commit to conducting project-level environmental review when specific development proposals are brought forward.19 The FEIR does neither. Instead, it states that “[f]uture projects implemented as part of the Specific Plan will not undergo additional CEQA analysis, unless proposed plans are substantially different than what was assumed in the EIR and Specific Plan.”20 In practice, nearly all projects within the plan area are ministerially permitted and therefore categorically exempt from further environmental review.21 In short, the City cannot have it both ways. It cannot label the FEIR a project-level analysis while refusing to define a finite project, nor can it characterize the FEIR as a first-tier document without committing to further environmental review. The FEIR fails to satisfy CEQA’s most basic informational requirements and prevents the public and decisionmakers from understanding the actual environmental consequences of adopting the Specific Plan. As a result, adoption of the Specific Plan would be detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning because the Specific Plan would authorize development beyond what was analyzed in the FEIR. 17 See Stopmilleniumhollywood.com v.

The Ordinance Would Authorize a Specific Plan with an Unstable and Inconsistent Project Description The City failed to use a consistent project description, and the analysis based on it, throughout the FEIR.22 Since different sections of the FEIR describe the project in different ways, the public cannot clearly understand what is proposed or how its impacts are evaluated.23 Although a project description may allow some flexibility for future changes, it must provide enough detail for the public and decisionmakers to assess the project’s impacts.24 The FEIR presents an internally inconsistent description of the project. While the FEIR identifies a 254,100-square foot hotel and 36,000-square foot restaurant for PA B-2,25 the water report assumes the area will contain 4 retail buildings totaling 52,210 square feet, a 7,3897-square foot office building, and an 83,600-square foot hotel.26 Likewise, the transportation report assumes the area will include a 175 room hotel,27 yet the FEIR does not explain how this room count corresponds to the square footage identified elsewhere. Another example of internal inconsistency is the FEIR’s description of nighttime construction lighting.28 On one hand, the FEIR states that construction activities will be limited to daylight hours.29 On the other, it expressly acknowledges that during winter months contractors are expected to work until 7:00 p.m., well after sunset, which would require the use of mobile construction lighting.30 These two statements cannot be reconciled. CEQA obligates an EIR to be internally consistent and to disclose all reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts associated with the actual construction schedule.31 By presenting conflicting descriptions of anticipated construction activities and associated lighting, the FEIR fails this basic standard. 22 County of Inyo v. City of Los Angeles (1977) 71 Cal.App.3d 185, 197. 23 Ibid. 24 Citizens for a Sustainable Treasure Island v.

Page 110 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 8 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper In sum, the FEIR’s shifting project description prevents meaningful public participation and minimizes the Specific Plan’s potential environmental impacts. As a result, adoption of the Specific Plan would be detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning because the Specific Plan would authorize development different than what was analyzed in the FEIR. IV. THE ORDINANCE IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE GENERAL WELFARE AND WOULD IMPLEMENT POOR ZONING PRACTICES BECAUSE IT AUTHORIZES DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT ADEQUATELY DISCLOSING AND ANALYZING IMPACTS TO BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES A. The Ordinance Would Authorize Development Without Adequately Describing Potentially Affected Species, Habitats, and Hydrology of the Adjacent F&G Marsh An EIR must describe the environmental setting for the project, defined as the “physical conditions in the vicinity of the project” viewed from both local and regional perspectives.”32 It must also identify “the area in which significant effects would occur, either directly or indirectly, a result of the project.33 This description functions as the baseline against which environmental changes are measured and significance determinations are made.34 The FEIR relies on a biological resources study that limited its survey for special-status species to a 100-foot buffer around the Specific Plan area.35 This narrow survey boundary excluded the adjacent F&G Street Marsh,36 which is a designated conservation area under the MSCP.37 Consequently, the FEIR provides virtually no information regarding the sensitive biological resources present in the marsh.38 32 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15125(a), (c). 33 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15460. 34 Id. § 15125(a); see Neighbors for Smart Rail v. Exposition Metro Line Constr. Auth.

Page 111 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 9 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper The FEIR also fails to identify or describe the hydrological processes that maintain the marsh ecosystem.39 There is no analysis of how the Specific Plan’s anticipated reduction in post-project flow rates would affect the marsh or its associated plant and animal communities.40 Hydrological conditions are a foundational component of marsh function, influencing species composition, water quality, sediment processes, and habitat availability.41 Development within the Specific Plan area could cause significant indirect impacts on marsh resources by elevating noise, dust, lighting and pollution levels; altering hydrology; degrading water quality, increasing human activity; and the introduction of invasive species.42 These effects are not confined to a 100-foot radius and can readily extend into the marsh ecosystem.43 By omitting any meaningful description or analysis of special-status species within the marsh, and by failing to identify the hydrological processes that sustain it or analyze how reduced flow rates would affect marsh resources, the Ordinance would authorize development without adequately disclosing and analyzing impacts to biological resources. B. The Ordinance Would Authorize Development Without Substantial Evidence to Conclude That Nighttime Lighting Impacts on Biological Resources Are Less than Significant Light pollution has demonstrable effects on biological resources.44 However, the FEIR omits a meaningful analysis of nighttime lighting impacts on biological resources, despite acknowledging that such lighting might occur.45 It provides no assessment of intensity, luminance, height, duration, frequency, or geographic reach of nighttime construciton lighting, nor does it evaluate potential effects on sensitive biological resources within the adjacent F&G Street Marsh.46 39 Ibid. 40 Ibid. 41 Ibid. 42 Id. at p. 1; FEIR at p. 5.3-15. 43 Cashen Comments at p. 1. 44 Cashen Comments at p. 2. 45 FEIR at p. 5.1-12. 46 Cashen Comments at p. 2. Page 112 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda December 2, 2025 Page 10 8100-001acp printed on recycled paper In addition, the FEIR does not demonstrate that nighttime construction lighting would comply with the Specific Plan’s adjacency management guidelines,47 which require lighting to be directed away from the F&G Street Marsh, shielded, and minimized.48 Mobile construction lighting, which is typically elevated, unshielded, and omnidirectional, is inherently incompatible with these requirements. Yet the FEIR provides no analysis, mitigation, or evidence demonstrating how such lighting could conform to the adopted guidelines or avoid adverse effects on the marsh and its sensitive species.49 This failure also constitutes a conflict with applicable plans and policies.50 For these reasons, adoption of the Specific Plan would be detrimental to the general welfare and would implement poor zoning because the Specific Plan would authorize development without accurately describing the project’s foreseeable construction activities and providing a legally sufficient analysis or mitigation for nighttime lighting impacts. The City must ensure that nighttime lighting impacts are properly identified, analyzed, and mitigated V. CONCLUSION The City lacks substantial evidence to support the finding that the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and applicable, or the finding that public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practice justifies adoption of the Plan. San Diegans respectfully urges the City Council to delay adoption of the ordinance, reconsider its prior actions, and prepare a EIR that fully discloses, analyzes, and mitigates the Project’s significant environmental impacts.

Graf Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo 601 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 1000 South San Francisco, CA 94080 Subject: Comments on the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Rohr Wohl Specific Plan Project Dear Mr. Graf: This letter contains my comments on the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) prepared by the City of Chula Vista for the Rohr Wohl Specific Plan Project (“Project”). I am an environmental biologist with 32 years of professional experience in wildlife biology and natural resources management. I have served as a biological resources expert for over 200 projects, the majority of which have been development projects in California. My experience and scope of work in this regard has included assisting various clients with evaluations of biological resource issues; preparation and peer review of environmental compliance documents prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”); and preparation of written comments that address deficiencies with CEQA and NEPA documents. My work has included written and oral testimony for the California Energy Commission (“CEC”), California Public Utilities Commission, and Federal courts. My educational background includes a B.S. in Resource Management from the University of California at Berkeley, and a M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from the Pennsylvania State University. A copy of my current curriculum vitae is attached hereto. The comments herein are based on my review of the environmental documents prepared for the Project, a review of scientific literature pertaining to biological resources known to occur in the Project area, my work on other projects in San Diego County, and the knowledge and experience I have acquired during my 32-year career in the field of natural resources management. The FEIR’s Determination That Indirect Impacts Would Be Less-Than-Significant Is Unsupported Due to Application of an Inappropriately Small Study Area The Applicant’s biological resources consultant assessed habitat and analyzed potential Project impacts on biological resources within the “Project study area,” which was defined as the Project site and surrounding 100-foot buffer.1 This study area was insufficient for analyzing the Project’s potentially significant indirect impacts. The Project has the potential to cause significant indirect impacts on biological resources by elevating noise, dust, lighting and pollution levels; altering hydrology; degrading water quality; increasing human activity; and introducing invasive plants and animals.2 These indirect impacts can extend well beyond the Project study area. For example, Project impacts to hydrology and 1 FEIR, p. 5.3-6 and Appendix D (Biological Resources Report), pp. 4 and 6. 2 FEIR, p. 5.3-15 and Appendix D (Biological Resources Report), p. 17. Page 116 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda water quality would affect all runoff pathways, and they have the potential to extend to all downstream receiving waters. These runoff pathways and receiving waters occur outside of the Project study area.3 The FEIR states that “a preserve area” occurs approximately 500 feet north of the Project site,4 and that the F&G Street Marsh is located approximately 310 feet from the nearest property line of the Project site.5 However, the FEIR provides almost no information on the sensitive biological resources that occur at the marsh/preserve. In addition, the FEIR fails to identify the hydrological processes that maintain the marsh, and there is no analysis of how the decrease in post-Project flow rates would affect the marsh, and its associated plants and animals.6 These deficiencies preclude the ability to validate the FEIR’s impact assessments and determination that all of the Project’s indirect impacts on biological resources would be less-than-significant. The FEIR’s Determination That the Project Would Comply with Lighting Requirements in the City’s MSCP Subarea Plan Is Unsupported Light pollution has demonstrable effects on the behavioral and population ecology of organisms, with serious implications on community ecology.7 According to the FEIR: the project must comply with the guidelines set forth in the ‘Adjacency Management Issues’ discussion in Section 7.5 of the City’s MSCP Subarea Plan, which requires implementation of BMPs to ensure that adjacency issues do not arise due to project activities. These practices include, but are not limited to … restriction of construction activities to daylight hours …”8 Mitigation Measure BIO-6 further requires that Project construction activities be confined to daylight hours.9 However, this mitigation is inconsistent with the FEIR’s statement that during winter months and assuming construction contractors elect to work beyond sunset and till 7:00 p.m., the use of mobile lighting may be required.”10 With respect to lighting during operation of the Project, the MSCP Subarea Plan requires the following: Lighting of all developed areas adjacent to the Preserve should be directed away from the Preserve wherever feasible and consistent with public safety. Where necessary, development should provide adequate shielding with non-invasive plant materials (preferably native), berming, and/or other methods to protect the Preserve and sensitive species from night lighting. Consideration should be given to the use of low-pressure sodium lighting.”11 3 FEIR, Appendix I1 (Preliminary Drainage Report) and Appendix I3 (Updated Drainage Memorandum). 4 FEIR, p. 5.3-17. 5 FEIR, p.

For these reasons, the FEIR’s determination that the Project would comply with the MSCP Subarea Plan is unsupported. Sincerely, Scott Cashen, M.S.

Journal of Forestry 114(4):494-504 Page 125 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda As diurnal creatures, humans have long sought methods to illuminate the night. In pre-industrial times, artificial light was generated by burning various materials, including wood, oil, and even dried fish. While these methods of lighting certainly influenced animal behavior and ecology locally, such effects were limited. The relatively recent invention and rapid prolif- eration of electric lights, however, have transformed the nighttime environment over substantial portions of the Earth’s surface. Ecologists have not entirely ignored the potential dis- ruption of ecological systems by artificial night lighting. Several authors have written reviews of the potential effects on ecosystems or taxonomic groups, published in the “gray” literature (Health Council of the Netherlands 2000; Hill 1990), conference proceedings (Outen 2002; Schmiedel 2001), and journal articles (Frank 1988; Verheijen 1985; Salmon 2003). This review attempts to integrate the literature on the topic, and draws on a con- ference organized by the authors in 2002 titled Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting.We identify the roles that artificial night lighting plays in changing eco- logical interactions across taxa, as opposed to reviewing these effects by taxonomic group. We first discuss the scale and extent of ecological light pollution and its relation- ship to astronomical light pollution, as well as the mea- surement of light for ecological research. We then address the recorded and potential influences of artificial night lighting within the nested hierarchy of behavioral and population ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem ecology. While this hierarchy is somewhat artificial and certainly mutable, it illustrates the breadth of potential consequences of ecological light pollution. The important effects of light on the physiology of organisms (see Health Council of the Netherlands 2000) are not discussed here. Astronomical and ecological light pollution: scale and extent The term “light pollution” has been in use for a number of years, but in most circumstances refers to the degrada- tion of human views of the night sky. We want to clarify that this is “astronomical light pollution”, where stars and other celestial bodies are washed out by light that is either directed or reflected upward. This is a broad-scale phenomenon, with hundreds of thousands of light sources cumulatively contributing to increased nighttime illumi- nation of the sky; the light reflected back from the sky is called “sky glow” (Figure 1). We describe artificial light that alters the natural patterns of light and dark in ecosys- tems as “ecological light pollution”. Verheijen (1985) proposed the term “photopollution” to mean “artificial light having adverse effects on wildlife”. Because pho- topollution literally means “light pollution” and because light pollution is so widely understood today to describe the degradation of the view of the night sky and the human experience of the night, we believe that a more descriptive term is now necessary. Ecological light pollu- tion includes direct glare, chronically increased illumina- 191 The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org REVIEWS REVIEWS REVIEWS Ecological light pollution Travis Longcore and Catherine Rich Ecologists have long studied the critical role of natural light in regulating species interactions, but, with limited exceptions, have not investigated the consequences of artificial night lighting. In the past century, the extent and intensity of artificial night lighting has increased such that it has substantial effects on the biology and ecology of species in the wild. We distinguish “astronomical light pollution”, which obscures the view of the night sky, from “ecological light pollution”, which alters natural light regimes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Some of the catastrophic consequences of light for certain taxonomic groups are well known, such as the deaths of migratory birds around tall lighted structures, and those of hatchling sea turtles disoriented by lights on their natal beaches. The more subtle influences of artificial night lighting on the behavior and community ecology of species are less well recognized, and constitute a new focus for research in ecology and a pressing conservation challenge. Front Ecol Environ 2004; 2(4): 191–198 The Urban Wildlands Group, PO Box 24020, Los Angeles, CA 90024-0020 (longcore@urbanwildlands.org) In a nutshell: Ecological light pollution includes chronic or periodically increased illumination, unexpected changes in illumination, and direct glare Animals can experience increased orientation or disorienta- tion from additional illumination and are attracted to or repulsed by glare, which affects foraging, reproduction, commu- nication, and other critical behaviors Artificial light disrupts interspecific interactions evolved in natural patterns of light and dark, with serious implications for community ecology Page 126 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Ecological light pollution T Longcore and C Rich tion, and temporary, unexpected fluctuations in light- ing. Sources of ecological light pollution include sky glow, lighted buildings and towers, streetlights, fishing boats, security lights, lights on vehicles, flares on off- shore oil platforms, and even lights on undersea research vessels, all of which can disrupt ecosystems to varying degrees. The phenomenon therefore involves potential effects across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The extent of ecological light pollution is global Elvidge et al. 1997; Figure 2). The first atlas of artificial night sky brightness illustrates that astronomical light pollution extends to every inhabited continent (Cinzano et al. 2001). Cinzano et al. (2001) calculate that only 40% of Americans live where it becomes sufficiently dark at night for the human eye to make a complete transition from cone to rod vision and that 18.7% of the terrestrial surface of the Earth is exposed to night sky brightness that is polluted by astronomical standards. Ecosystems may be affected by these levels of illumina- tion and lights that do not contribute to sky glow may still have ecological consequences, ensuring that ecolog- ical light pollution afflicts an even greater proportion of the Earth. Lighted fishing fleets, offshore oil platforms, and cruise ships bring the disruption of artificial night lighting to the world’s oceans. The tropics may be especially sensitive to alterations in natural diel (ie over a 24-hour period) patterns of light and dark because of the year-round constancy of daily cycles (Gliwicz 1999). A shortened or brighter night is more likely to affect tropical species adapted to diel pat- terns with minimal seasonal variation than extratropical species adapted to substantial seasonal variation. Of course, temperate and polar zone species active only dur- ing a portion of the year would be excluded from this gen- eralization. Species in temperate zones will also be susceptible to disruptions if they depend on seasonal day length cues to trigger critical behaviors. Measurements and units Measurement of ecological light pollution often involves determination of illumination at a given place. Illumination is the amount of light incident per unit area – not the only measurement relevant to ecological light pol- lution, but the most common. Light varies in intensity (the number of photons per unit area) and spectral content (expressed by wavelength). Ideally, ecologists should mea- sure illumination in photons per square meter per second with associated measurements of the wavelengths of light present. More often, illumination is measured in lux (or footcan- dles, the non-SI unit), which expresses the brightness of light as perceived by the human eye. The lux measurement places more emphasis on wavelengths of light that the human eye detects best and less on those that humans perceive poorly. Because other organisms perceive light differently – including wave- lengths not visible to humans – future research on ecolog- ical light pollution should identify these responses and measure light accordingly. For example, Gal et al. (1999) calculated the response curve of mysid shrimp to light and reported illumination in lux adjusted for the spectral sensitivity of the species. Ecologists are faced with a practical difficulty when communicating information about light conditions. Lux is the standard used by nearly all lighting designers, light- ing engineers, and environmental regulators; communi- cation with them requires reporting in this unit. Yet the use of lux ignores biologically relevant information. High- pressure sodium lights, for instance, will attract moths because of the presence of ultraviolet wavelengths, while low-pressure sodium lights of the same intensity, but not producing ultraviolet light, will not (Rydell 1992). Nevertheless, we use lux here, both because of the need to communicate with applied professionals, and because of its current and past widespread usage. As this research field develops, however, measurements of radiation and spectrum relevant to the organisms in question should be used, even though lux will probably continue to be the preferred unit for communication with professionals in other disciplines. Ecologists also measure aspects of the light environ- ment other than absolute illumination levels. A sudden change in illumination is disruptive for some species Buchanan 1993), so percent change in illumination, rate, or similar measures may be relevant. Ecologists may also measure luminance (ie brightness) of light sources that are visible to organisms. 192 www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America Figure 1.Diagram of ecological and astronomical light pollution. Astronomical light pollution reduces the number of visible stars Unshielded lights can cause both astronomical and ecological light pollution Tall, lighted structures are collision hazards Shielded lights reduce astronomical light pollution but may still cause ecological light pollution Sky glow from cities disrupts distant ecosystems Page 127 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda T Longcore and C Rich Ecological light pollution Behavioral and population ecology Ecological light pollution has demonstrable effects on the behavioral and population ecology of organisms in natural settings. As a whole, these effects derive from changes in ori- entation, disorientation, or misorientation, and attraction or repulsion from the altered light environment, which in turn may affect foraging, reproduction, migration, and communi- cation. Orientation/disorientation and attraction/repulsion Orientation and disorientation are responses to ambient illumination (ie the amount of light incident on objects in an environment). In contrast, attraction and repulsion occur in response to the light sources themselves and are therefore responses to luminance or the brightness of the source of light (Health Council of the Netherlands 2000). Increased illumination may extend diurnal or crepuscular behaviors into the nighttime environment by improving an animal’s ability to orient itself. Many usually diurnal birds Hill 1990) and reptiles (Schwartz and Henderson 1991), for example, forage under artificial lights. This has been termed the “night light niche” for reptiles and seems benefi- cial for those species that can exploit it, but not for their prey (Schwartz and Henderson 1991). In addition to foraging, orientation under artificial illumi- nation may induce other behaviors, such as territorial singing in birds (Bergen and Abs 1997). For the northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), males sing at night before mating, but once mated only sing at night in artificially lighted areas (Derrickson 1988) or during the full moon. The effect of these light-induced behaviors on fitness is unknown. Constant artificial night lighting may also disorient organisms accustomed to navigating in a dark environment. The best-known example of this is the disorientation of hatchling sea turtles emerging from nests on sandy beaches. Under normal circumstances, hatchlings move away from low, dark silhouettes (historically, those of dune vegeta- tion), allowing them to crawl quickly to the ocean. With beachfront lighting, the silhouettes that would have cued movement are no longer perceived, resulting in disorienta- tion (Salmon et al. 1995). Lighting also affects the egg-lay- ing behavior of female sea turtles. (For reviews of effects on sea turtles, see Salmon 2003 and Witherington 1997). Changes in light level may disrupt orientation in noctur- nal animals. The range of anatomical adaptations to allow night vision is broad (Park 1940), and rapid increases in light can blind animals. For frogs, a quick increase in illumi- nation causes a reduction in visual capability from which the recovery time may be minutes to hours (Buchanan 1993). After becoming adjusted to a light, frogs may be attracted to it as well (Jaeger and Hailman 1973; Figure 3). Birds can be disoriented and entrapped by lights at night Ogden 1996). Once a bird is within a lighted zone at night, it may become “trapped” and will not leave the lighted area. Large numbers of nocturnally migrating birds are therefore affected when meteorological conditions bring them close to lights, for instance, during inclement weather or late at night when they tend to fly lower. 193 The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org Figure 2.Distribution of artificial lights visible from space.

Birds that are waylaid by buildings in urban areas at night often die in collisions with windows as they try to escape during the day. Artificial lighting has attracted birds to smokestacks, lighthouses (Squires and Hanson 1918), broadcast towers Ogden 1996), boats (Dick and Donaldson 1978), greenhouses, oil platforms (Wiese et al.2001), and other structures at night, resulting in direct mortality, and thus inter- fering with migration routes. Many groups of insects, of which moths are one well-known example Frank 1988), are attracted to lights. Other taxa showing the same attraction include lacewings, beetles, bugs, caddisflies, crane flies, midges, hoverflies, wasps, and bush crickets (Eisenbeis and Hassel 2000; Kolligs 2000; Figure 4). Attraction depends on the spec- trum of light – insect collectors use ultraviolet light because of its attractive qualities – and the char- acteristics of other lights in the vicinity. Nonflying arthropods vary in their reaction to lights. Some nocturnal spiders are negatively phototactic (ie repelled by light), whereas others will exploit light if avail- able (Nakamura and Yamashita 1997). Some insects are always positively phototactic as an adaptive behavior and others always photonegative (Summers 1997). In arthro- pods, these responses may also be influenced by the frequent correlations between light, humidity, and temperature. Natural resource managers can exploit the responses of animals to lights. Lights are sometimes used to attract fish to ladders, allowing them to bypass dams and power plants Haymes et al. 1984). Similarly, lights can attract larval fish to coral reefs (Munday et al. 1998). In the terrestrial realm, dispersing mountain lions avoid lighted areas to such a degree that Beier (1995) suggests installing lights to deter them from entering habitats dead-ending in areas where humans live. Reproduction Reproductive behaviors may be altered by artificial night lighting. Female Physalaemus pustulosus frogs, for exam- ple, are less selective about mate choice when light levels are increased, presumably preferring to mate quickly and avoid the increased predation risk of mating activity Rand et al. 1997). Night lighting may also inhibit amphibian movement to and from breeding areas by stim- ulating phototactic behavior. Bryant Buchanan (pers comm) reports that frogs in an experimental enclosure stopped mating activity during night football games, when lights from a nearby stadium increased sky glow. Mating choruses resumed only when the enclosure was covered to shield the frogs from the light. In birds, some evidence suggests that artificial night lighting affects the choice of nest site.

When all other habitat fac- tors were taken into account, the density of nests was slightly but statistically lower up to 300 m away from the lighting at roadway and control sites. The researchers also noted that birds nesting earlier in the year chose sites farther away from the lighting, while those nesting later filled in sites closer to the lights. Communication Visual communication within and between species may be influenced by artificial night lighting. Some species use light to communi- cate, and are therefore especially susceptible to disruption. Female glow-worms attract males up to 45 m away with bioluminescent flashes; the presence of artificial lighting reduces the visibility of these communi- cations. Similarly, the complex visual communication system of fireflies could be impaired by stray light (Lloyd 1994). Artificial night lighting could also alter communication patterns as a secondary effect. Coyotes (Canis latrans) group howl and group yip-howl more during the new moon, when it is darkest. Communication is necessary either to reduce trespassing from other packs, or to assem- ble packs to hunt larger prey during dark conditions Bender et al. 1996). Sky glow could increase ambient illu- mination to eliminate this pattern in affected areas. Because of the central role of vision in orientation and behavior of most animals, it is not surprising that artificial lighting alters behavior. This causes an immediate conser- vation concern for some species, while for other species the influence may seem to be positive. Such “positive” effects, however, may have negative consequences within the context of community ecology. Community ecology The behaviors exhibited by individual animals in response to ambient illumination (orientation, disorien- tation) and to luminance (attraction, repulsion) influ- ence community interactions, of which competition and predation are examples. Competition Artificial night lighting could disrupt the interactions of groups of species that show resource partitioning across illumination gradients. For example, in natural commu- nities, some foraging times are partitioned among species that prefer different levels of lighting. The squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirrela) is able to orient and forage at lighting levels as low as 10-5 lux and under natural condi- tions typically will stop foraging at illuminations above 10-3 lux (Buchanan 1998). The western toad (Bufo boreas) forages only at illuminations between 10-1 and 10-5 lux, while the tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) forages only during the darkest part of the night at below 10-5 lux Hailman 1984). While these three species are not neces- sarily sympatric (ie inhabiting the same area), and differ in other niche dimensions, they illustrate the division of the light gradient by foragers. Many bat species are attracted to insects that congre- gate around light sources (Frank 1988). Although it may seem that this is a positive effect, the increased food concentration benefits only those species that exploit light sources and could therefore result in altered community structure. Faster-flying species of bats congregate around lights to feed on insects, but other, slower-flying species avoid lights (Blake et al. 1994; Rydell and Baagøe 1996). Changes in competitive communities occur as diurnal species move into the “night light niche” (Schwartz and Henderson 1991). This concept, as originally described, applies to reptiles, but easily extends to other taxa, such as spiders (Frank pers comm) and birds (Hill 1990; Figure 5). Predation Although it may seem beneficial for diurnal species to be able to forage longer under artificial lights, any gains from increased activity time can be offset by increased preda- tion risk (Gotthard 2000). The balance between gains from extended foraging time and risk of increased preda- 195 The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org Figure 5.Crowned hornbill (Tockus alboterminatus) hawking insects at a light at the Kibale Forest National Park, Uganda. Co u r t e s y o f P J D e V r i e s Page 130 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Ecological light pollution T Longcore and C Rich tion is a central topic for research on small mammals, rep- tiles, and birds (Kotler 1984; Lima 1998). Small rodents forage less at high illumination levels (Lima 1998), a ten- dency also exhibited by some lagomorphs (Gilbert and Boutin 1991), marsupials (Laferrier 1997), snakes Klauber 1939), bats (Rydell 1992), fish (Gibson 1978), aquatic invertebrates (Moore et al. 2000), and other taxa. Unexpected changes in light conditions may disrupt predator–prey relationships. Gliwicz (1986, 1999) des- cribes high predation by fish on zooplankton during nights when the full moon rose hours after sunset. Zooplankton had migrated to the surface to forage under cover of dark- ness, only to be illuminated by the rising moon and sub- jected to intense predation. This “lunar light trap” Gliwicz 1986) illustrates a natural occurrence, but unex- pected illumination from human sources could disrupt predator–prey interactions in a similar manner, often to the benefit of the predator. Available research shows that artificial night lighting disrupts predator–prey relationships, which is consistent with the documented importance of natural light regimes in mediating such interactions. In one example, harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) congregated under artificial lights to eat juvenile salmonids as they migrated downstream; turn- ing the lights off reduced predation levels (Yurk and Trites 2000). Nighttime illumination at urban crow roosts was higher than at control sites, presumably because this helps the crows avoid predation from owls (Gorenzel and Salmon 1995). Desert rodents reduced foraging activity when exposed to the light of a single camp lantern (Kotler 1984). Frank (1988) reviews predation by bats, birds, skunks, toads, and spiders on moths attracted to artificial lights. Mercury vapor lights, in particular, disrupt the interaction between bats and tympanate moths by inter- fering with moth detection of ultrasonic chirps used by bats in echolocation, leaving moths unable to take their normal evasive action (Svensson and Rydell 1998). From these examples, it follows that community struc- ture will be altered where light affects interspecific inter- actions. A “perpetual full moon” from artificial lights will favor light-tolerant species and exclude others. If the dark- est natural conditions never occur, those species that max- imize foraging during the new moon could eventually be compromised, at risk of failing to meet monthly energy budgets. The resulting community structure would be sim- plified, and these changes could in turn affect ecosystem characteristics. Ecosystem effects The cumulative effects of behavioral changes induced by artificial night lighting on competition and predation have the potential to disrupt key ecosystem functions. The spillover effects from ecological light pollution on aquatic invertebrates illustrates this point. Many aquatic invertebrates, such as zooplankton, move up and down within the water column during a 24-hour period, in a behavior known as “diel vertical migration”. Diel vertical migration presumably results from a need to avoid preda- tion during lighted conditions, so many zooplankton for- age near water surfaces only during dark conditions Gliwicz 1986). Light dimmer than that of a half moon 10-1 lux) is sufficient to influence the vertical distribu- tion of some aquatic invertebrates, and indeed patterns of diel vertical migration change with the lunar cycle Dodson 1990). Moore et al. (2000) documented the effect of artificial light on the diel migration of the zooplankton Daphnia in the wild. Artificial illumination decreased the magnitude of diel migrations, both in the range of vertical movement and the number of individuals migrating. The researchers hypothesize that this disruption of diel vertical migration may have substantial detrimental effects on ecosystem health. With fewer zooplankton migrating to the surface to graze, algae populations may increase. Such algal blooms would then have a series of adverse effects on water quality (Moore et al. 2000). The reverberating effects of community changes caused by artificial night lighting could influence other ecosys- tem functions. Although the outcomes are not yet pre- dictable, and redundancy will buffer changes, indications are that light-influenced ecosystems will suffer from important changes attributable to artificial light alone and in combination with other disturbances. Even remote areas may be exposed to increased illumination from sky glow, but the most noticeable effects will occur in those areas where lights are close to natural habitats. This may be in wilderness where summer getaways are built, along the expanding front of suburbanization, near the wetlands and estuaries that are often the last open spaces in cities, or on the open ocean, where cruise ships, squid boats, and oil derricks light the night. Conclusions Our understanding of the full range of ecological conse- quences of artificial night lighting is still limited, and the field holds many opportunities for basic and applied research. Studies of natural populations are necessary to investigate hypotheses generated in the laboratory, evi- dence of lunar cycles in wild populations, and natural his- tory observations. If current trends continue, the influ- ence of stray light on ecosystems will expand in geographic scope and intensity. Today, 20% of the area of the coterminous US lies within 125 m of a road (Riiters and Wickham 2003). Lights follow roads, and the propor- tion of ecosystems uninfluenced by altered light regimes is decreasing. We believe that many ecologists have neglected to consider artificial night lighting as a relevant environmental factor, while conservationists have cer- tainly neglected to include the nighttime environment in reserve and corridor design. Successful investigation of ecological light pollution will require collaboration with physical scientists and 196 www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America Page 131 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda T Longcore and C Rich Ecological light pollution engineers to improve equipment to measure light charac- teristics at ecologically relevant levels under diverse field conditions. Researchers should give special considera- tion to the tropics, where the constancy of day–night lighting patterns has probably resulted in narrow niche breadths relative to illumination. Aquatic ecosystems deserve increased attention as well, because despite the central importance of light to freshwater and marine ecology, consideration of artificial lighting has so far been limited. Research on the effects of artificial night lighting will enhance understanding of urban ecosystems the two National Science Foundation (NSF) urban Long Term Ecological Research sites are ideal locations for such efforts. Careful research focusing on artificial night lighting will probably reveal it to be a powerful force structuring local communities by disrupting competition and predator–prey interactions. Researchers will face the challenge of disen- tangling the confounding and cumulative effects of other facets of human disturbance with which artificial night lighting will often be correlated, such as roads, urban development, noise, exotic species, animal harvest, and resource extraction. To do so, measurements of light dis- turbance should be included routinely as part of environ- mental monitoring protocols, such as the NSF’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Future research is likely to reveal artificial night lighting to be an important, independent, and cumulative factor in the dis- ruption of natural ecosystems, and a major challenge for their preservation. Ecologists have studied diel and lunar patterns in the behavior of organisms for the greater part of a century (see Park 1940 and references therein), and the deaths of birds from lights for nearly as long (Squires and Hanson 1918). Humans have now so altered the natural patterns of light and dark that these new conditions must be afforded a more central role in research on species and ecosystems beyond the instances that leave carcasses on the ground.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting the 2026 Local Appointments List for board, commission, and committee terms expiring in calendar year 2026. SUMMARY The Maddy Act (Government Code section 54970 et seq.) requires a “Local Appointments List,” containing information about all boards, commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council, as well as all board, commission, and committee terms expiring in the following year, be prepared by December 31st of each year and made available to the public. By adopting the proposed resolution, the City Council will accept the 2026 Local Appointments List and direct the City Clerk to post the list and make it available to the public, as required. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with 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 because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. Page 134 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 DISCUSSION The Maddy Act (Government Code section 54972, et seq.) was enacted to provide public awareness of opportunities for citizen participation on boards, commissions, and committees. The Maddy Act requires, in part, that on or before December 31st of each year, the City Council must prepare a “Local Appointments List” of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees the City Council appoints. The Local Appointments List must contain the following information: (a) a list of all appointive terms that will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position; and (b) a list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve the at the pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position. The purpose of this list is to provide the public with information, such as seat qualifications and term expirations, so that they may have an opportunity to participate in and contribute to the operations of local governments by serving on such boards, commissions, and committees. In addition to posting the Local Appointments List at City Hall and the Civic Center Library, the City Clerk also makes the list available on the City’s website. By adopting the proposed resolution, the City Council accepts the 2026 Local Appointments List (Exhibit 1) and directs the City Clerk to post the list and make it available to the public, as required. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific, and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Councilmember of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution establishing a new Capital Improvement Project entitled “Oxford and Fourth Park (CIP No. PRK0346)”, amending the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets and appropriating funds. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY This report represents the establishment of the Oxford and Fourth Park CIP (“Project”) and transfer of $100,000 to fund the park master planning phase currently underway for the 0.46-acre site of previous Fire Station #5 at the southeast corner of the intersection of Oxford Street and Fourth Avenue. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 141 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Project Background The former fire station site located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Oxford Street and Fourth Avenue is being proposed as a public park, in alignment with the City’s goal of increasing park acreage in western Chula Vista. Residential growth on the west side is resulting in demand for additional parkland and recreational facilities but there are challenges in securing available land for such purposes. The Oxford and Fourth Park site would be classified as an Urban Park based on its size and would primarily serve as parkland for surrounding residents, businesses, and schools. Funding Allocation for Master Planning Phase Funding allocation is requested to cover expenditures to date and anticipated future costs to complete the park master plan phase currently underway. The proposed funding is a transfer of $100,000 previously designated for a mural project. The $100,000 will be transferred from the General Fund (Fund 100) to the CIP Fund (Fund 713) for the Project. Community Outreach In July 2025, City of Chula Vista (“City”) staff held an initial community meeting to provide information about the site and to obtain feedback on potential park programming. During the group workshop portion of the meeting, community members explored potential layouts of amenities that would be typical for an Urban Park based on the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Staff also provided an online survey to gather additional feedback on the preferred amenities and park uses. In September 2025, City staff held a second community meeting at Lauderbach Elementary School to present preliminary design concepts for the park based on the public input received at the first meeting and through the online survey. Community attendees were asked to provide comments through open discussion and specific to the design alternatives. A second public survey was posted following this meeting to solicit additional feedback to guide the development of the Park Master Plan. In October 2025, City staff held a third community meeting at Loma Verde to present summary of feedback received through the first meetings and public survey along with the draft park master plan. Park Master Plan City staff will continue the development of the Park Master Plan incorporating feedback from the community. The final Park Master Plan including park naming consistent with City Council Policy 470-01 will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission and then to City Council for approval. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item Page 142 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution amends the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program budget by transferring $100,000 of previously appropriated funds in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget from the General Fund to the CIP Fund to cover the master planning costs associated with the Project. The following table shows the total estimated cost for the master planning phase of which approximately 60% has been incurred to date with 40% remaining to complete the master plan. PROJECT COSTS (ROUNDED) A. Community Outreach $20,000 B. Park Master Plan $70,000 C. Topographic Survey $10,000 TOTAL $100,000 FUNDING SOURCES (ROUNDED) A. New Appropriation: Capital Improvement Fund (PRK0346) $100,000 Funding for construction of the park will be brought forward to the City Council at a future date for consideration. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Department: Fire G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation grant of $604,230 and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Fire Department applied to the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation for assistance with funding wildfire mitigation activities and supporting equipment to reduce the wildfire hazard in the city of Chula Vista. The San Diego Regional Fire Foundation secured grant funding for the Chula Vista Fire Department through the San Diego River Conservancy Directed Grant Program in the amount $604,230. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 147 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION This item was approved at the July 10, 2025 meeting of the Measure A Citizen’s Oversight Committee, where the committee determined the use of the Fire Department's Measure A available one-time fund balance for the City’s grant match to acquire a remote-controlled masticator and utility truck to be in compliance with the Measure A spending plan. DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista’s Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies wildfire as a highly significant threat to the community. With numerous residential neighborhoods and commercial structures located adjacent to wildland and open space areas, the city remains vulnerable to wildfire impacts. In March 2025, Cal Fire released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps designating moderate, high, and very high hazard areas within Chula Vista. These zones encompass more than 21,000 structures and 13,000 acres. The Chula Vista Fire Department (CVFD) has been proactive in addressing this threat through planning, public education, and vegetation management. The establishment of the CVFD Hand Crew provides a year - round resource dedicated to the City’s Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program. This program reduces wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface, protects lives and property, and promotes healthier landscapes more resilient to fire. These efforts not only create safer communities and recreational areas but also improve firefighter safety by keeping wildfires smaller and more manageable. The San Diego River Conservancy, through its Directed Grant Program funded by Proposition 4 (Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024), makes funding available for wildfire prevention and risk-reduction projects. The San Diego Regional Fire Foundation, whose mission is to make San Diego the safest county in the nation from fire-related incidents, partnered with CVFD to apply for this funding. CVFD’s application requested support for hazardous fuels reduction projects in key wildland-urban interface areas, including Surrey Ridge, Choya Canyon, Elevado Canyon, and along Proctor Valley Road. Funding was also requested for specialized equipment to support vegetation thinning and removal, and for a tow vehicle to transport personnel and equipment. The San Diego River Conservancy Board of Directors approved the application and awarded the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation $604,230 to support CVFD’s wildfire mitigation projects and purchase of related equipment. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. Page 148 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of $604,230 in grant revenues from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation and an increase to appropriations of $604,230 to the Personnel Services and Supplies & Services categories of the Fire Grants Section of the State Grants Fund. The grant requires a City match of $344,230. Matching funds will be provided through in-kind services from Hand Crew labor costs and one-time fund balance appropriation from Measure A to the Other Capital category of $149,230. Funding from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation and matching funds from Measure A will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There will be recurring operating costs (fuel, general/preventative maintenance, etc.) over the expected life of the equipment. This expense will be considered as part of future annual operating budgets in the Measure A Fund. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Page 153 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 DISCUSSION RESOLUTION A: CITY-INITIATED TOW LICENSE FEE UPDATE California Vehicle Code Section 12110 authorizes the City to assess a Tow License Fee (“TLF”) in connection with an award of a franchise to tow companies for City-initiated tows “to reimburse the public entity for its actual and reasonable costs incurred in connection with the towing program.” The TLF relates to staff recovery costs for requesting a tow call for service, from the start time a police employee calls for a tow request to the end time that the tow company leaves the scene, along with the cost of tow management software. The computation of the City’s TLF is detailed below: [(Annual estimate of police-initiated tows) x (Estimated time spent per tow) x (Fully burdened hourly rate)] + (Tow Management Software cost) = Tow License Fee Position / Description Annual Estimate of Police-Initiated Tows 1 Hours Spent per Police- Initiated Tow 2 Fully Burdened Hourly Rate 3 Tow License Fee 4 TOTAL $392,041 1 Annual estimate and tow breakdown by position taken from tow management software. 2 Average 33 minutes of staff time during a tow call for service taken from tow management software. 3 Fully Burdened Hourly Rates as of 10/1/2025 provided by Finance Department. 4 Annual cost of tow management software is $118,000. The proposed Tow License Fee (TLF) for 2026 is $392,041. This calculation includes $118,000 for the tow management software approved by City Council in October 2023. The software has streamlined towing operations for the Police Department and improved the experience for community members retrieving towed vehicles. With a full year of operational data now available from the tow software, staff can more accurately track tow calls and time spent per tow. The 2026 TLF is $181,243 higher than the 2025 TLF of $210,798. This increase is primarily due to the software cost, as well as a rise in police-initiated tows and updated fully burdened labor rates. The TLF is apportioned equally among the City’s seven (7) contracted towing service providers and is billed in quarterly installments. The City will continue to recalculate and revise the TLF annually using the same methodology. Page 154 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 RESOLUTION B: CITY-INITIATED TOW AND STORAGE RATE UPDATE The chart below provides a complete schedule of all charges and fees that the City’s tow contractors are authorized to collect from consumers for City-initiated tow and impound services. Service 2025 Current Rates 2026 Proposed Rates Difference This rate schedule is identical to the California Highway Patrol Southern San Diego Region tow rates. The CHP manages one of the largest government entity-initiated tow program in the state, and its rates are viewed as representative and reliable benchmarks. As shown above, there are cost increases proposed to the City’s 2026 tow and storage rates. If approved, the proposed TLF and tow and impound fees will be effective January 1, 2026. Each contracted tow company must post in plain view to the public the City-Initiated Tow and Storage Rates at their place of business. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of Resolution A would result in an updated Tow License Fee of $392,041, which is equally apportioned to the City’s tow contractors, effective January 1, 2026. The estimated Tow License Fee is already included in the Police Department’s fiscal year 2025-26 adopted budget. Page 155 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 Approval of Resolution B would result in updated fees paid by consumers to the tow contractors for City - initiated tow and impound services. There is no fiscal impact to the City for these fees. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The Tow License Fee will be recalculated annually throughout the term of the tow contract. The Police Department will coordinate with the Finance Department to budget the appropriate Tow License Fee in each respective fiscal year. ATTACHMENTS None.

The cost was covered by the City of San Diego’s General Fund, funded by all taxpayers, whether they used city trash services or not. 226,500 customer households will be paying as much as $43.60 for a 95-gallon trash can. "It’s disguised under a fee, but it’s really a tax,” said Lenard Fallorina, a former San Diego city employee from the environmental services. “A lot of people who are on fixed incomes can’t afford it and I don’t think its right. City officials said the trash fee will be impounded into a homeowner’s property taxes so there will be a biannual payment for roughly $260 ($520 Additional Tax Per Year) added to the property taxes due. The only service fee which is attached to homeowners’ property taxes. As far as trash, they can take your house,” said Fallorina. If property taxes aren’t paid after 5 years, the city can sell the home to collect those taxes. https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/san-diego-trash-fees-added-to-property-tax/ Page 162 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda 4 YOUR PROPERTY TAX PAYS CITY UNIONS TO INSPECT YOUR GARABAGE "San Diego has begun sending teams of trash inspectors to neighborhoods across the city to gauge whether people are using the proper bins for trash, organics recycling and traditional recycling of glass, metal, plastic and paper." https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/11/11/plastic-in-your-green-bin-batteries-in-the- trash-city-inspectors-are-checking-san-diegans-garbage-for-compliance/ For over a century the park DONATED land was a promise for free to ALL of the people to enjoy; NOW THE CITY IS PLACING A PUBLIC PARKING FEE THAT MANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD; LIMITING PARK ACCESS TO JUST THE RICH THAT CAN AFFORD TO DRIVE THEIR OWN CAR PAU THE HIGH COST GAS TAX AND PARKING WHILE THE POOR IS FORCED TO PAY OR TAKE A CITY BUS AND STILL PAY THE CITY! "San Diego Union, June 30, 1870, 2:1. EDITORIAL: The Park of San Diego . . . One of the wisest things ever done by the city was the setting aside of fourteen hundred and forty acres for a public park. Owing to the want of such foresight the citizens of other places have been obliged, either to dispense with these luxuries, or to look for them to very precarious sources. The citizens of Chester, England, have received such a gift from the Marquis of Westminster; but he is the richest man in England, and few towns boast of such liberality in their citizens. The Grand Jury of San Francisco has proposed that space for a park be asked of the United States Government; but the Government is not an owner in the vicinity of every city, and, besides, is likely to hold on to her own where she is. In Chicago, land for a park has been taken up by a company; but even where such companies can find suitable tracts, it is better that public parks should belong to cities themselves. The wisdom of our officials in the Park reservation should be recognized by every citizen." https://sandiegohistory.org/archives/amero/balboapark/pre1900/ SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL FAILURE CITY BUDGET INSTEAD STOP WASTE RAISE TAXES!

Do not click any links and do not open attachments unless you can confirm the sender. PLEASE REPORT SUSPICIOUS EMAILS BY USING THE PHISH ALERT REPORT BUTTON or to reportphishing@chulavistaca.gov Good evening Mayor McCann and Councilmembers, I am here tonight because the City of Chula Vista has not held a single formal, publicly noticed City Council hearing on a proposal that would permanently remove the equestrian arena at Rohr Park. Under the Brown Act (Gov. Code §54950 et seq.), major decisions affecting public land require: • public notice, • an agenda item, • public comment, • and deliberation by the governing body. Pop-up boards in the park, consultant presentations, and a single meeting held on November 20 in a County building — with no Councilmembers present, no agenda, and no minutes — do not meet legal requirements for a public hearing. Yet the City is treating the removal of a deed-protected facility as if it is already decided. Let me remind you why this matters. Rohr Park was transferred under a Quitclaim Deed requiring that the land be used “forever as a public park for the benefit of all residents of the County of San Diego.” The Deed includes a County right of reentry and to repossess if those covenants are violated. Additionally, the California Public Parks Preservation Act (Public Resources Code §§5400–5409) prohibits the removal, demolition, or conversion of an existing public recreational facility unless a like-for-like replacement is provided, in the same general Page 176 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Written Communications – PC Jett – Received 12/2/2025 area, for the same population served. No such replacement has been proposed. For 19 months — from April 2023 through November 2024 — the arena was locked and unlawfully privatized by a private club, despite: • Civil Code §660, which defines all fixtures permanently attached to land — such as arenas, fencing, gates, and footing — as public real property, • Civil Code §662, which states that structures are appurtenant to the land and therefore belong to the public when affixed to public property, • Chula Vista Municipal Code §2.66.010, which prohibits excluding the public from parks except where authorized by law. Despite this, the City allowed the lockout to continue and even approved a Facility Use Agreement on October 17, 2023, which explicitly said “no exclusive possession,” while exclusive possession continued anyway. Now, after all of this, the City still has not brought the proposed removal of the arena before this Council — the only body with legal authority to make such a decision. There is also the matter of public funds. In 2024, San Diego County awarded $25,000 of taxpayer money under the Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant Program for equestrian facility improvements. If the City destroys this facility, that money is wasted, and potentially a misapplication of funds contrary to the intent of the grant. This arena is not simply dirt and railings. It is the only full-sized public equestrian arena in the entire region, serving Bonita’s trail riders, youth, seniors, and equestrians with disabilities. It is part of our history, part of our fire-evacuation plan, and part of what defines the rural identity of Bonita. The law requires more than surveys and consultant comments. It requires a noticed public agenda, a formal Council hearing, and compliance with both the Deed and state law. So tonight I respectfully ask this Council to: 1. Place the equestrian arena on a formal agenda for public hearing, as required by the Brown Act; 2. Halt all removal or demolition activities unless and until the City complies with Page 177 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Written Communications – PC Jett – Received 12/2/2025 o the Quitclaim Deed, o the Public Parks Preservation Act (PRC §§5400–5409), and o the City’s own municipal code; and 3. Acknowledge your legal fiduciary duty to steward deed-protected land for all residents of San Diego County. Rohr Park belongs to the public. Chula Vista is the trustee — not the owner. Please follow the law before irreversible harm is done.

Garcia Consulting, LCC for South County Higher Education Task Force Facilitation Services and Designate City Representative Report Number: 25-0288 Location: University-Innovation District Department: City Manager G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes Environmental Notice: The Project is adequately covered in a previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) for the Chula Vista University & Innovation District (FEIR-14-01; SCH #2014121097; certified by City Council Resolution No. 2018-221 on November 13, 2018). Recommended Action Adopt resolution: (A) waiving the competitive bidding process and approving a Consultant Services Agreement with Marlene L. Garcia Consulting, LLC for South County Higher Education Task Force Facilitation Services and (B) designating City Manager Tiffany Allen as City Representative on said Task Force. SUMMARY Assembly Bill 662 – The Chula Vista University Act – authored by Assemblymember David Alvarez establishes the South County Higher Education Task Force, creating a collaborative body that will bring together the University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges, the City of Chula Vista, Sweetwater Union High School District and other stakeholders to evaluate the governance models, funding mechanisms, and statutory changes required for creating a four-year public university in South San Diego County. The City requires support to establish, facilitate, and communicate the work of the Task Force and therefore recommends entering into an agreement with Marlene L. Garcia Consulting, LLC. Additionally, City staff recommends designating City Manager Tiffany Allen to serve as the City representative on the South County Higher Education Task Force. Page 179 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and has been determined that the Project is adequately covered in a previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the Chula Vista University & Innovation District (FEIR-14- 01; SCH #2014121097; certified by City Council Resolution No. 2018-221 on November 13, 2018). Therefore, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Since 1993, the City of Chula Vista has pursued a strategic, long-term vision to develop a University Innovation District on City-owned land to serve Chula Vista and South San Diego County and has taken actionable steps to turn this vision into a reality. From 2001 through 2014, through a combin ation of land offer agreements, land exchanges, and other agreements with developers, the City acquired 383 acres of land for University-Innovation District (UID) purposes. In 2018, the City certified Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR-14-001/SCH 2014121097) and adopted the University-Innovation District Sectional Planning Area Plan (SPA) approving the entitlements for a UID. Under the adopted planning documents that govern the development of the site, the UID entitlements provide the ability to accommodate up to 20,000 students with an innovation district that will include approximately 10 million square feet of mixed-use development, 4.4 million square feet of academic space, 2 million square feet of commercial space for business innovation uses and 3.6 million square feet available for development of market rate and student/faculty housing. The City’s goals for the UID are as follows: Develop a university campus offering four-year degrees consistent with the City’s binational and multi-institutional university vision; Establish a business environment within the Innovation District that embraces the technology and/or higher education sectors to serve as a talent pipeline for the University(ies); Create an on-going income stream and/or one-time capital event; Support increases in tax revenue; Support equitable access to higher education; Foster additional economic development and education opportunities for the community at large; and Develop a financial model that allows development to occur with as little out-of-pocket cost to the City as possible. Additionally, over the years, the City has engaged in several studies to determine the type of university(ies) that would best fit the UID from a land use and economic development perspective. These studies resulted in the vision of the City Council to develop a binational, multi-institutional university that leverages the border as a laboratory to attract students from both the United States and Mexico, offers baccalaureate and graduate level degrees and academic studies for the binational region, and serves as a catalyst for growth and economic development. Page 180 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 In November of 2024, the City Council received the University Now Initiative Whi te Paper developed by Southwestern Community College (SWC) District and the University Now Initiative Committee through an agreement with the City of Chula Vista. The White Paper identifies academic and instructional programs that provide SWC with new or enhanced academic opportunities to support the region’s current and funding actions. Earlier this year, Carrier Johnson conducted a feasibility study for the initial phase of UID development. Their work included building square footage, floor plates, parking strategies, building heights, hard/landscape, parks & open space, active residential open space, other public use (including public trails), education, public mass transit elements, vehicular and pedestrian circulation and any other pertinent characteristics. The report’s phasing plan ensures seamless integration of future phases with the initial development and also included construction cost estimates for the development. AB 662 (Alvarez) Authored by Assemblymember David Alvarez, Assembly Bill (AB) 662 - The Chula Vista University Act - establishes the South County Higher Education Task Force, a collaborative body to advance university planning efforts. The Task Force membership will be composed of at least (8) members including: At least one representative from San Diego State University appointed by the Chancellor of the California State University.

Recommending legislative solutions to remove barriers to institutional innovation. The Task Force is required to submit a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations to the California Legislature by July 1, 2027. Page 181 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 Additionally, Assemblymember Alvarez secured $250,000 in state funding to support the Task Force’s planning and policy development efforts. City staff is working with the State to receive those funds and will bring an item forward to appropriate those funds in the future. Marlene L. Garcia Consulting To assist the City in convening and facilitating the work of the Task Force, City staff recommends entering into an agreement with Marlene L. Garcia Consulting, LLC. Marlene is being recommended based on her unique qualifications, including extensive experience working on state and federal education and technology policy and the related political landscape, and experience working within several university and college school systems. Pursuant to CVMC 2.56.110(H)(3) and 2.56.070(B)(3), staff recommends waiving the competitive bidding requirements that apply to the agreement as they are impractical, or impossible, and the City’s interests are materially better served by applying a different purchasing procedure. Marlene will assist in the establishment of the Task Force, facilitate the work of the Task Force, assist in communicating the work of the Task Force and overall project management and coordination. City staff anticipates additional support from a financial advisor and others may be required during the process. City staff will bring those agreements to City Council for consideration in the future. City Appointments As required by AB 662, the City will be appointing at least one representative from the City of Chula Vista and at least one public member. City staff recommends the designation of City Manager Tiffany Allen to serve on the Task Force. This is in alignment with the anticipated designation of executive staff of the other represented entities and will provide the Task Force with the expertise and historical background needed to represent the City’s interest and University-Innovation District project. City staff also recommends the public member(s) be appointed via a public application and selection process similar to the Planning Commission where the entire City Council participates in the interview and nomination process. The public member(s) should represent various perspectives including those in the business and innovation sector, higher education staff, and students. The application period will begin in early December and run through January 2026. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT City staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). City staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

Funds for this purpose are already included in the fiscal year 2025-26 budget, therefore no additional appropriation is necessary. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT This agreement runs through fiscal year 2026-27 with a not-to-exceed contract amount of $250,000. Funds will be incorporated in future budgets. ATTACHMENTS 1. Marlene L.

Staff is also recommending approval of: (1) the revised Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27; the (2) Amended Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 (3) the revised Fiscal Year 2025- Page 211 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 26 Compensation Schedules effective December 12, 2025; as required by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5; (4) the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedules effective December 26, 2025; as required by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5; and (5) budget amendments. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 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 required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Measure A Citizens Oversight Committee determined compliance with the Measure A requirements for funding one Equipment Mechanic on October 9, 2025. DISCUSSION Classification Plan and Compensation Schedule In an effort to address the needs of various departments and the City's workforce, the Human Resources Department, in conjunction with the affected departments, is proposing certain position changes, w ith corresponding updates to the Classification Plan, Compensation Schedule, and authorized departmental position counts. City Clerk Staffing Senate Bill (“SB”) 707 establishes new state mandates affecting City Council meeting procedures, including a requirement to provide real-time remote public comment beginning July 1, 2026. The legislation also introduces additional administrative and compliance obligations for meeting accessibility, recordkeeping, and technology management. Implementing these unfunded state mandates will require significant planning, system setup, and ongoing staff support beyond current capacity. The addition of a Deputy City Clerk II in FY 2025–26 is necessary to coordinate implementation, ensure compliance, and support the Clerk ’s Office in meeting the expanded operational requirements resulting from SB 707. Mayor and Council Office Staffing A salary review for positions assigned to the Mayor and Council Office was initiated by a City Council referral on November 4, 2025. Based on this review, salary adjustments are recommended for the Senior Council Assistant and Policy Aide classifications. The funding for these adjustments will be fully offset by the elimination of the Administrative Secretary (Mayor, At-Will) position, resulting in reallocation of $39,284 to the subject positions within the Mayor and City Council department. After implementing the proposed salary adjustments described above, $68,643 of the Administrative Secretary personnel budget remains. This amount will be split equally between the four City Council Office budgets to increase hourly and ancillary (i.e., Medicare) personnel appropriations ($17,161 per Office). These changes result in no net fiscal impact. Page 212 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Central Garage Staffing The addition of one Equipment Mechanic, funded by Measure A, in the Public Works Department will support the growing fleet of Fire Safety vehicles. Economic Development Manager A minor downward adjustment to the compensation schedule for the Economic De velopment Manager is recommended in order to better align with the current departmental organizational structure. The following identifies the affected positions and proposed changes effective December 12, 2025. Department Position Title FTE General Fund City Clerk Deputy City Clerk II 1.00 Mayor & Council Administrative Secretary (Mayor, At-Will) -1.00 General Fund Total 0.00 Central Garage Fund Public Works Equipment Mechanic 1.00 Central Garage Fund Total 1.00 All Funds Total 1.00 Summary of Updated Classifications Position Title Employee Group Maximum Salary Economic Development Manager Senior Management $6,696.93 bi-weekly Policy Aide Unclassified Professional $3,685.95 bi-weekly Senior Council Assistant Unclassified Confidential $3,597.80 bi-weekly Minimum Wage Additionally, effective January 1, 2026, the general statewide minimum wage will increase by 40 cents, bringing the minimum hourly rate from $16.50 to $16.90. To ensure compliance with the State's minimum wage law, staff is proposing an A step salary of $16.90 per hour (with the appropriate 5% spread for each step until E step is reached) for the Clerical Aide, Library Aide, Intern – Undergraduate, Police Support Services Aide, Recreation Aide and Seasonal Assistant classifications, whose A step salary is currently $16.50 per hour. Additionally, staff is recommending salary adjustments for certain classifications whose salaries are internally aligned to those impacted by minimum wage. The proposed salaries for these unclassified, hourly classifications effective December 26, 2025, are noted below: Position Title Employee Group E Step (Maximum) Salary Page 213 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 Position Title Employee Group E Step (Maximum) Salary Library Aide Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Police Support Services Aide Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Recreation Aide Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Recreation Leader Unclassified, Hourly $23.62 per hour Recreation Specialist Unclassified, Hourly $28.35 per hour Seasonal Assistant Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Tiny Tot Aide Unclassified, Hourly $23.62 per hour Tiny Tot Specialist Unclassified, Hourly $28.35 per hour Traffic Control Assistant Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Traffic Officer Unclassified, Hourly $20.54 per hour Adoption of Resolution A will amend the Classification Plan and Compensation Schedule to reflect the above changes on the effective dates noted. Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 The City workforce consists of both represented and unrepresented employees; salary and benefits authorized for unrepresented employees are included in the Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees. A summary of the adjustments for these unrepresented employees are shown below: Health Insurance: Newly eligible employees (new hires or those changing from an ineligible to an eligible position) will be covered under the City’s Cafeteria Benefits Plan effective the first of the month following the employee’s date of hire in that eligible position. Flex Benefit Allotment for Unclassified and Confidential Mid-Managers and Professionals that elect Employee Only coverage, have qualifying medical insurance coverage outside of the City, and those employees covered by another City employee: increase annual Flex Benefit allotment from $12,762 to $13,250. Update the Unclassified and Confidential Mid-Managers and Professionals’ Uniform Allowance and Educational Incentive Pay section to clarify the language and eligibility criteria to meet the requirements of California Code of Regulations Section 571(b)(1)(F) as it relates to reportable special compensation. Update the “Group Membership Listing” to reflect current position titles. Adoption of Resolution B will approve the revised Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 (Attachment 1) to reflect these changes. Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) recently notified the City that the Educational Incentive and Uniform Allowance for unclassified sworn Police and Fire Safety management groups as it is written, referencing the IAFF and POA MOUs, does not meet the requirements of California Code of Regulations Section 571(b)(1)(F) as it relates to reportable special compensation. The City’s intent Page 214 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 was for the Educational Incentive and Uniform Allowance for unclassified sworn Police and Fire Safety management groups to be reportable special compensation similar to IAFF and POA. The City is recommending that the Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 be revised to clarify the language and eligibility criteria related to the uniform allowance and educational differentials available to unclassified sworn Police and Fire Safety management. Adoption of Resolution C will approve the revised Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees for Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 (Attachment 2) to reflect the above changes. Compensation Schedule Requirement California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets certain requirements, including approval by the City’s governing body in accordance with the requirements of applicable public meeting laws. The revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule ("Compensation Schedule") was last approved by the City Council at their meeting on October 7, 2025. Adoption of Resolution D will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective December 12, 2025 (Attachment 3) reflecting the adjusted salaries for the Economic Development Manager, Policy Aide, and Senior Council Assistant position titles. Adoption of Resolution E will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective December 26, 2025 (Attachment 4) reflecting the adjusted salaries for the Clerical Aide, Fire Prevention Aide, Intern – Graduate, Intern – Undergraduate, Library Aide, Police Support Services Aide, Recreation Aide, Recreation Leader, Recreation Specialist, Seasonal Assistant, Tiny Tot Aide, Tiny Tot Specialist, Traffic Control Assistant, and Traffic Officer position titles. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The current-year General Fund fiscal impact for the updated classifications and salary ranges is estimated to total approximately $64,459 in Personnel Services, which will be offset by anticipated savings in the Supplies & Services category resulting in no net impact. The minimum wage increase has been included in the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. Staff is requesting the proposed budgetary adjustments reflected in the table below: Page 215 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 6 GENERAL FUND Department Personnel Services Supplies & Services Net Impact City Clerk $ 64,459 $ - $ 64,459 Non-Departmental - (64,459) (64,459) TOTAL EST.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Accept the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the “First Quarter Report”) and adopt a resolution making various amendments to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and the fiscal year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program budget to adjust for variances and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may require additional action or budgetary changes to the Amended Budget. This First Quarter Report is as of September 30, 2025 and is in compliance with Section 505(F) of the City Charter, which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of Finance through the City Manager. In preparing the First Quarter Report, staff identified various budgetary changes that are needed to accurately reflect actual revenues and expenditures or address changes in budgetary needs. For government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the budget is approved by the City Council, there are circumstances which arise that could require adjustments to the approved Page 454 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 budget. Council Policy 220-02 “Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority” was established in January of 1996 and amended October of 2023, and allows for budget transfers across budget categories and other adjustments to be completed. Budget transfers and adjustments processed pursuant to this authority are provided as Attachments 2 and 3 to this report. This First Quarter Report discusses budget adjustments that staff recommend in the General Fund as well as various other funds to address identified fiscal issues. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Measure A On October 9, 2025, the Measure A Citizen’s Oversight Committee voted to recommend approval of the purchase of two crew carriers and two crew cab utility vehicles and found the purchase complies with the Measure A expenditure plan. Budget adjustments associated with the purchase of these vehicles are recommended in this item. Measure P The Measure P Citizen’s Oversight Committee (COC) approves funding for Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) at the category level. In contrast, the City Council reviews CIPs at both the category and individual project level. As projects are completed, any remaining project funds are routinely reallocated to other CIPs within the same category, without returning to the Measure P COC. Likewise, funds may be shifted between general CIPs and more specific CIPs within a category without requiring additional COC review. For this reason, this report describes the reallocation of Measure P CIP funds between projects within the same category, which have not explicitly been reviewed by the Measure P COC. DISCUSSION The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may require additional action or changes to the Amended Budget. The First Quarter Financial Report is in compliance with Section 505 (f) of the City Charter, which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of Finance through the City Manager. The First Quarter Report is developed using three months of actual activity for fiscal year 2025-26 as of September 30, 2025. The data in this report is the most current data available; however, due to the limited data available, in-depth year-end projections for departmental revenues and expenditures are not included in this report but will be provided in future quarterly financial reports. The focus instead is on the General Fund’s major revenues, as well as any known significant expenditure budget adjustments. As a result of the Page 455 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 limited information, the projections are likely to change as the year progresses. The First Quarter Financial Report provides summary information for the following areas: Current economic environment Overview of the General Fund Details on General Fund revenues and expenditures Discussion on significant General Fund revenue and expenditure variances Recommended budget adjustments to General Fund, Other Funds and Capital Improvement Project expenditures budgets The following information provides an overview of the General Fund and recommended budget adjustments, included in the attached First Quarter Report. General Fund Overview General Fund revenues are projected to be lower than the Amended Budget by $0.6 million, and expenditures are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by $1.1 million. Staff anticipate major revenues to come in lower than budget by $1.6 million and other revenues to exceed the Amended Budget by $1.0 million, detailed in the General Fund Revenues section. As stated earlier, the First Quarter report is limited to projections of the General Fund’s Major Revenues, as well as any known significant expenditure budget adjustments. In- depth projections for departmental revenues and expenditures will be included in future quarterly financial reports as additional financial data becomes available. The First Quarter Report (Attachment 1) provides a comprehensive financial overview for the quarter.

This variance is primarily due to a shortfall in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) of $1.6 million, reflecting a delay in the anticipated opening of two new hotels, now expected to begin operations next fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2026, along with updated revenue assumptions informed by actual receipts in fiscal year 2024–25. Franchise Fees, Property Tax in Lieu of VLF, Utility Users’ Tax and Other Revenues are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by approximately $1.5 million combined. General Fund Expenditures The City’s General Fund expenditures are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by $1.1 million. As stated earlier, the First Quarter Report projections only reflect known significant expenditure budget adjustments. More comprehensive year-end projections for departmental revenues and expenditures will be presented in subsequent quarterly reports as additional financial data becomes available. Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Adjustments Staff are recommending various budget adjustments, appropriations, and transfers to City Departmental and Fund budgets that require City Council authorization. Amendments with a net financial impact of $75,000 or greater are detailed in this report. For a comprehensive list of all other amendments, please refer to the First Quarter Report (Attachment 1). General Fund Adjustments In the General Fund, some of the transfers are between expense categories within the same Department and some transfers are between Departments. There are also proposed budget adjustments reflecting increased Page 457 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 revenues and increased expenditures where needed to address unanticipated expenditure category overages and ensure accurate year-end reporting.

Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff are not independently aware and have not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The First Quarter Report presents projected revenue and expenditure amounts as of September 30, 2025, with updates through October 30, 2025, as the most current information available. Approval of the resolution amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and the fiscal year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program budget will result in the following impacts: General Fund – The proposed adjustments result in no net impact to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget. This includes an increase in General Fund appropriations of approximately $1,070,160 offset by an increase in estimated revenues of $1,070,160. Other Funds – The proposed adjustments result in a negative net impact to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget of the Other (non-General Fund) Funds of $770,331. This includes an increase in appropriations of approximately $5,973,986 and an increase in estimated revenues of $5,203,655. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Staff will review the impacted budgets to identify potential ongoing impacts and may recommend budgetary adjustments to Council during fiscal year 2025-26.

The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may require additional action or changes to the Amended Budget. Per Section 505 (f) of the City Charter, the Director of Finance has prepared and submitted the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (First Quarter Report) through the City Manager. The First Quarter Report is developed using three months of actual financial activity for fiscal year 2025-26 as of September 30, 2025. The data in this report is the most current data available; however, due to the limited data available, in-depth year-end projections for departmental revenues and expenditures are not included in this report but will be provided in future quarterly financial reports. The focus instead is on the General Fund’s major revenues, as well as any known significant expenditure budget adjustments. As a result of the limited information, the projections are likely to change as the year progresses. The First Quarter Report provides summary information for the following areas: Current economic environment Overview of the General Fund Details on major General Fund revenues and expenditure categories Discussion on significant General Fund revenue and expenditure variances Recommended budget adjustments to General Fund, Other Funds, and Capital Improvement Project expenditure budgets The Finance Department will continue to monitor the City’s actual revenues and expenditures and will provide updated projections in subsequent quarterly financial reports. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW City staff reviewed information from federal data (U.S. Bureaus of Economic Analysis, Labor Statistics; Federal Reserve; U.S. Treasury), the quarterly UCLA Anderson Economic Outlooks, HdL (City sales tax consultant), the San Diego Tourism Authority, and ot her sources to develop the economic assumptions and growth rates included in the First Quarter Report. Highlights – National The UCLA Anderson Forecast for Fall 2025 reports persistent weakness in the U.S. economy in the Page 462 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Page | 2 near-term based on declines in employment, increases in inflation, and slowing GDP growth.1 The unprecedented uncertainty surrounding trade policies, new technology investments, and political pressures pose significant risks to their Forecast and its conclusion for a gradual economic recovery starting in mid-2026.1 Unemployment While the labor market remains strong with a relatively low national unemployment rate of 4.3%, signs of weakness are becoming more apparent in the decline in labor supply affected by restrictive immigration policies and more baby boomers reaching retirement age.2 Additionally, jobs gains in recent months have slowed and concentrated to just a few sectors.2 The Forecast expects the labor market to mildly weaken through 2025 through mid-year 2026, recovering through the end of 2026 and in 2027 as tariff effects are normalized and stimulus actions are enacted.1 Inflation Despite periods of trending downward in 2025, inflation began rising since May and continues to be elevated.3 The seasonally adjusted annual rate of Consumer Price Index was 3.0% in September, the highest since January.4 The Forecast predicts inflation will continue to rise through 2025 as tariff impacts further hit durable goods and services, peak at 3.6% in early 2026, and then begin to moderate.1 Interest Rates The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), part of the Federal Reserve, is committed to Congress’s mandate to promote maximum employment, stable prices (i.e., limited inflation), and moderate long-term interest rates. Reporting that job gains have slowed this year and unemployment remaining low but rising, in its latest meeting in October 2025, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds target range by one-quarter (1/4) of a percentage point to 3-3/4 to 4 percent.5 This change in the rate is aimed to shift stimulate the economy by reducing unemployment levels by lowering the cost of borrowing for consumers and businesses. The “federal funds rate” established by the FOMC sets the interest rate at which banks lend money to other banks to maintain overnight reserves of funds. When the federal funds rate increases, the cost to banks for lending increases and passed on to businesses and consumers on other borrowing, such as for business investments, credit cards, cars, mortgages and other bank loans. Interest rate fluctuations impact the City’s finances by affecting borrowing costs for capital projects and long- term investments; private investments growth; and investment returns on its cash balances.

In the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, real GDP grew at an annualized rate of 3.8%, rebounding from a 0.6% decline in the first quarter (Q1).6 Continued positive growth each quarter generally allays economists’ concerns that a recession is forthcoming. The Q2 results reflect strong business investment and consumer spending despite persistent inflationary pressures and labor market softness.7 The Federal Reserve will be closely monitoring this relatively positive economic growth in its policy decisions to reduce inflation. GDP: Percent Change from Preceding Quarter6 The UCLA Anderson Fall 2025 Forecast predicts GDP growth to slow in 2025 to below 1% by the end of 2025 because of the impacts from tariffs, immigration policy and economic uncertainty, followed by a recovery to 2% by the end of 2026 as the fiscal and monetary stimulus kick in.8 Highlights – California The UCLA Anderson Fall 2025 Forecast for California highlighted the economic implications of state bills, including: redistricting, emissions cap and trade bills, CEQA streamlining development, and film and TV tax credits all affecting business decisions in hiring and investments.8 However, the California spending reductions outlined by the Legislative Analyst Office indicate future budget problems will offset some of the expansionary effects of these bills.9 6 U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

National immigration policies also exhibiting impacts on the non-durable goods (food) and agriculture sectors. Overall, California’s economic growth is projected to remain slower than that of the United States as a whole through 2025 and 2026, with potential improvement beginning in 2027 as conditions in the technology sector strengthen. The outlook for the state’s economy remains subject to several uncertainties, including federal immigration policies and associated deportations, the scope and impact of tariffs and related trade responses and the pace and practical application of artificial intelligence technologies.8 This space is intentionally left blank. 10 California Employment Development Department.

This is primarily due to a shortfall in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) of $1.6 million reflecting a delay in the anticipated opening of two hotels, now expected to begin operations next fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2026, along with updated revenue assumptions informed by actual receipts in fiscal year 2024–25. Franchise Fees, Property Tax in Lieu of VLF, Utility Users’ Tax and Other Revenues are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by approximately $1.5 million combined.

Property tax is administered by the County of San Diego and is limited by Proposition 13 to a general rate of 1% of assessed value. Currently, the City receives approximately 12.4% of property taxes revenues assessed for Chula Vista properties. Property tax is the City’s largest revenue source, representing 19.1% of General Fund revenues in the Adopted Budget. Property tax is projected to be $58.0 million, a $0.5 million decrease compared to the Adopted Budget. Projected property tax revenues include adjustments for the major property addition of the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, however, are slightly decreased based on final updates to the assessed value from the County Assessor. Based on the Zillow Home Value Index - September 2025, Chula Vista’s median home price for a single-family home was $875,384, a 2% year-over-year decline. A cooling trend in the housing market is apparent, with declines in sales across the San Diego region. Buyer enthusiasm has waned due to affordability constraints and mortgage rates remaining high despite recent Federal Reserve interest cuts. A slowdown in home sales will have some degree of impact on the growth of property Page 467 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Page | 7 taxes in the City as homes are typically reassessed at higher values upon major construction/improvements or sale, with home prices generally increasing over time. Property tax growth is otherwise limited by the cap on Proposition 13 on assessed value growth to the lesser of the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. Source: Chula Vista Zillow Home Values Index (https://www.zillow.com/home-values/51405/chula-vista-ca/) Property Tax in Lieu of VLF Vehicle License Fees (VLF) revenues are generated from vehicle license fees paid with vehicle registrations with the State of California and then allocated to cities and counties. VLF fluctuate with changes in assessed values within the City. Property tax in lieu of VLF is projected to be $33.6 million, a $0.1 million increase compared to the Adopted Budget. Projections for fiscal year 2026 are based on updated information from the County, a 6.5% increase compared to fiscal year 2025 actual revenues. Sales Tax The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax (Sales Tax) tax revenue is generated from a percentage tax imposed on the sale of retail goods and services that occur within the City of Chula Vista. Sales tax revenue is highly sensitive to economic conditions and reflects the factors that drive taxable sales, including levels of unemployment, consumer confidence, per-capita income, and business investment. The total citywide sales tax rate is 8.75%, of which the City’s General Fund receives 1.0% of all taxable sales transactions within the City, not including the additional voter-approved sales taxes for Measure P and A. Sales tax revenue represents the second largest General Fund revenue source, representing 16.8% of the General Fund revenues in the Adopted Budget. Sales tax is projected to be $51.2 million, resulting in no change when compared to the Adopted Budget. Chula Vista’s largest economic segments include general consumer goods, state & county pools (sales tax revenues from transaction with no specific place of sale, allocated to local jurisdictions on a proportional basis), restaurants & hotels and autos & transportation. Combined, these categories account for approximately 76% of total sales tax revenues. Recent data for the first fiscal year quarter of 2026 indicate a 2.9% increase in taxable sales compared to the same quarter of 2025.

The opening of the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center on May 15, 2025, is anticipated to generate a boost in sales tax revenue from visitor spending beyond the Gaylord property, as guests venture into surrounding areas and contribute to broader local retail and dining activity. While the development of the Adopted Budget assumed continued stable employment rates and consumer confidence indicators, it did not anticipate the continuing fluctuations in consumer behavior and general economic uncertainty. The City’s largest sector, general consumer goods, showed a slight increase in sales tax revenue compared to the first quarter in 2025; however, the City remains mindful of recent decreases in consumer confidence. Primary economic indicators that drive consumer spending and growth in sales tax receipts include the unemployment rate and consumer confidence. Despite these headwinds, solid activity from local restaurants, including quick-service and fast-causal establishments has remained resilient. Sales tax revenue will continue to be closely monitored and updated in the Second Quarter Report to account for any changes in spending trends or other economic indicators impacting sales tax receipts. Measure P Sales Tax - Voters approved Measure P in November 2016 as a temporary, ten- year, half-cent sales tax dedicated to addressing high-priority deferred maintenance needs. In 2024, voters approved the continuation of Measure P through 2037. While the revenue generated from the Measure P sales tax is collected in the General Fund, the General Fund transfers this revenue to the Measure P Sales Tax Fund for accountability and transparency in the usage of these funds. These actions result in an overall net zero impact to the General Fund. Measure P sales tax is projected to be $30.8 million, resulting in no change when compared to the Adopted Budget. Measure A Sales Tax - Voters approved Measure A in June 2018, established as a permanent half-cent sales tax to fund critical public safety needs and enhance staffing levels. Similar to Measure P sales tax, revenue is collected and tracked within the General Fund, and transfer to the Measure A Sales Tax Fund for accountability and transparency in the usage of these funds. Separate accounts (one for the Fire department and one for the Police department) were established to support the monitoring and allocation of these funds. These actions result in an overall net zero impact to the General Fund. Measure A sales tax is projected to be $30.8 million, resulting in no change when compared to the Adopted Budget. Franchise Fees Franchise fee revenues are generated from agreements with private utility companies in exchange for use of the City’s rights-of-way. The fee compensates the City for the use of its property, such as its streets. Franchise fees are collected from three primary sources: San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) (2% on gas and 1.25% on electricity), Republic Services trash collection franchises (20% fee), and AT&T and Cox Communications cable franchises (5% fee). Franchise fee revenue is projected to be $15.4 million, a $0.3 million increase compared to the Adopted Budget. The change is largely due to an increase in trash collection revenue from Republic Page 469 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Page | 9 Services, the city’s waste services provider. SDG&E franchise revenues remain static, while cable franchise revenues are down. The decrease represents the number of subscription service subscribers for cable television providers (premium video, equipment rental, on-demand, and programming services) as more customers continue to move to streaming services. Transient Occupancy Tax Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax imposed on occupants of hotel and motel rooms, short-term rentals, and RV parks within the City. The current TOT tax rate in the City is 10%. Major economic drivers for TOT revenue include room rates, average occupancy rates, and seasonal and non-seasonal tourism. The City of Chula Vista has experienced strong growth in TOT in recent years with a number of new hotel developments on both the west and eastern portions of the City as well as an expansion of the short -term rentals compliance program. Additionally, it is important to note that the TOT revenue generated from the RV Park and the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in the Bayfront area is transferred out from the General Fund to a separate fund as part of the contractual requirements for the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center project. TOT revenue is projected to be $21.7 million, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the Adopted Budget. The projection reflects a delay in the anticipated opening of two hotels, now expected to begin operations next fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2025-26, along with updated revenue assumptions informed by actual receipts in fiscal year 2024–25. Together, these changes result in a lower estimated growth rate compared to the Adopted Budget assumptions. Utility Users’ Tax Utility User’s Tax (UUT) is a local excise tax imposed on the consumption of utility services by residents and businesses. Specifically, the City imposes a UUT on the use of telecommunications (cable, telephone) at the rate of 4.75% of gross receipts and UUT on natural gas services of $0.00919 per therm and $0.00250 per kilowatt on electricity services, which equates to approximately a 1% tax. UUT is collected by utility companies as part of its regular billing and then remit to the City. UUT is projected to be $3.7 million, a $0.1 million increase compared to the Adopted Budget. While some modest growth is anticipated in revenues from the natural gas and electricity utilities based upon population growth and the increases in utility prices, adoption of solar energy and conservations efforts suggest a decline in consumption of those utilities which reduce revenues. Additionally, consumption of telecommunications utilities is also expected to continue to decline due to changes in technology and consumer preferences. Other Revenues Other Revenues include the following revenue categories: Charges for Services, Federal Revenue, Fines and Penalties, Licenses & Permits, Other Revenue, State Revenue, Transfers In and Use of Money/Property. As stated earlier, Other Revenues category is anticipated to exceed the Adopted Budget by $1.0 million. The increase is primarily due to new program revenue in the Economic Development Department for the Bayfront Shuttle Program that was not included in the Adopted Budget due to the timing of the contract occurring after the release of the Adopted Budget (this is offset by an increase in expenditures, resulting in no net fiscal impact). State Revenues category reflects a variance of $0.1 million attributed to actuals received for VLF in excess from the State Page 470 of 514 City of Chula Vista - City Council December 2, 2025 Post City Council Agenda Page | 10 Controller’s Office. The Transfers In category reflects a decrease of $0.1 million in the Information Technology department for staff time reimbursements due to the expiration of a grant.

That feedback was reviewed and incorporated as potential revisions to Council Policy 111-02. On April 15, 2025, changes were adopted by the City Council. On October 21, 2025, the City Attorney reported back to the City Council regarding options to modify Council Policy 111-02 and received feedback from the City Council. That feedback was reviewed and incorporated as potential revisions to Council Policy 111-02. This item is coming back for further amendments. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Any costs associated with the amendment is already included in the current fiscal year budget. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Any costs associated with the amendment will be included in the future fiscal year budgets. ATTACHMENTS 1. Draft Policy 111-02 2.
