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.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving a legal services agreement with Best, Best & Krieger LLP for community facilities districts and public financing legal services. SUMMARY The proposed legal services agreement (LSA) with Best, Best & Krieger LLP establishes an on-call contract, not to exceed $300,000 over a three-year term with two (2) optional one-year extensions, to provide specialized legal services in support of the formation and administration of Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) and related public financing mechanisms. The agreement allows the City to issue task orders for specific projects as needed, ensuring timely access to specialized expertise to support development-related infrastructure financing. All costs associated with this agreement are funded by developers. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it has been 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. Therefor e, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. Page 26 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Development Services Department facilitates the formation of CFDs to enable developers to finance public infrastructure and associated development-related costs. These financing mechanisms are complex and require specialized legal expertise in public finance, bond issuance, and compliance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. The proposed LSA with Best, Best & Krieger LLP provides a flexible, on-call structure that allows the City of Chula Vista to authorize services on a project-by-project basis through task orders or purchase orders. This approach improves efficiency by eliminating the need to bring separate agreements to City Council for each CFD formation or financing action, while maintaining cost control through task-specific scopes and not-to- exceed amounts. In order to procure the legal services with Best, Best & Krieger the department in consultation with the City Attorney’s office and the Purchasing Agent and accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CMVC”) Section 2.56.110 (F), staff has determined that Best, Best & Krieger has the demonstrated competence and qualifications for the services required, including their knowledge and experience with the CFD public financing legal services, including formation and bond financings, and has also determined that their fees are fair and reasonable. Pursuant to CVMC Section 2.56.110(H)(3) and 2.56.070(B)(3), the City Council may waive the competitive bidding requirements if determined by resolution of the City Council that the competitive bidding requirements as applied to that contract are impractical, impossible or that City interests would be materially better served by applying a different purchasing procedure approved by the Purchasing Agent as being consistent with good purchasing practices. Services under this agreement may include CFD formation, preparation of financing documents, bond counsel and disclosure counsel services, and related legal support. The agreement ensures continuity and consistency in legal services across multiple development projects while allowing the City Attorney to direct and approve all work. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and 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 If approved, the proposed agreement with Best, Best & Krieger LLP would authorize professional services in the amount not-to-exceed $300,000 over the initial three-year term, with two (2), one-year options to Page 27 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 extension, unless amended by the City Council. Services will be authorized on a project-by-project basis through individual purchase orders, each with its own scope of work and as determined by the City. There is no current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. All costs for legal services provided under this LSA will be fully recovered from developers through established cost recovery mechanisms. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. Legal service costs under this agreement will continue to be funded by developers on a project-specific basis as CFD and related financing mechanisms are formed. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving a renewed and revised 30-year Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego for the Planning, Operations, and Maintenance of the Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve and authorizing the City Manager to execute the renewed and revised 30-year Joint Powers Agreement. SUMMARY On March 6, 1996, the Chula Vista City Council approved a 30-year Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and County of San Diego for the planning, operations, and maintenance of the Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve. Today’s requested action will authorize the City Manager to execute a renewed and revised 30-year Joint Powers Agreement between the City and County for continued planning, operations, and maintenance of the Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve through March 6, 2056. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it was determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Page 39 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuan t to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. This determination is predicated on CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. Any future projects resulting from implementation of the Joint Powers Agreement will require preparation of environmental documents in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Municipal Code. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista (“City”) City Council and County of San Diego (“County”) Board of Supervisors (“Board”) adopted the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan (“Subregional Plan”) on October 28, 1993. The Subregional Plan contemplated development within a series of villages that would be located within the City and the County’s land use jurisdictions within an area known as Otay Ranch, which is within the southwestern San Diego region in the area generally surrounding the Lower Otay Reservoir. To mitigate for impacts from development, the Subregional Plan also conceptualized an approximately 11,000- acre open space preserve system (the “Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve” or “Otay Ranch Preserve”) that would be jointly managed by the City and County in perpetuity as an entity referred to as the Preserve Owner/Manager (the “POM”). In 1993 along with adoption of the Subregional Plan, the City Council adopted Phase 1 of the Resource Management Plan (the “RMP”) for the Otay Ranch Preserve, which established a comprehensive program for the long-term protection and management of sensitive resources located within the Preserve. Due to the joint nature of planning and development for Otay Ranch, on March 6, 1996, the City Council approved a 30-year Joint Powers Agreement (“JPA”) between the City and County (Attachment 1). The JPA described the roles and responsibilities for the planning, operations, and maintenance of Otay Ranch Preserve by the POM. Since 1996, the City and County have partnered collectively to operate and manage the Otay Ranch Preserve as the POM. The 1996 JPA, which expired on March 6, 2026, allows for a 30-year extension. The City and County worked together to update and revise the JPA to further define operational responsibilities and memorialize a variety of regulatory changes that have taken place since adoption of the original JPA in 1996. The main update within the JPA is related to regional management of species within the Otay Ranch Preserve. When the Subregional Plan and Phase 1 RMP were adopted in 1993, the regional Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) had not yet been established. The MSCP Subregional Plan for the southern portions of San Diego County was adopted by the County and the City of San Diego in 1997. The City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan was then adopted in 2003. The MSCPs are regional habitat conservation plans that set forth a plan to allow development to occur and establish a pathway to mitigate for impacts to species and their habitats. After adoption of the MSCPs, the City and County developed and adopted the Phase 2 RMP in 2018. The Phase 2 RMP ensures consistency with the applicable MSCPs and includes a detailed plan for how Page 40 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 the POM will implement the resource protection objectives that were established in the Phase 1 RMP. Given that the MSCP and Phase 2 RMP were not yet prepared when the 1996 JPA went into effect, the revised 2026 JPA has been updated to modify references and update language to be consistent with these documents (Attachments 2 (strikeout) and 3 (clean)). Today’s requested action will authorize the City Manager to execute a renewed and revised JPA between the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego for the planning, operations, and maintenance of the Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve. 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 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 Planning, operations, and maintenance of Otay Ranch Preserve is fully funded by Community Facilities District (CFD) 97-2. There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. Funding is available based on annual funding allocations from CFD 97-2. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Annual funding allocations from CFD 97-2 will adequately fund ongoing planning, operations, and maintenance activities of Otay Ranch Preserve as specified in the renewed and revised JPA.

Recommended Actions Adopt a resolution A) approving the Landscape Maintenance Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and HomeFed Village 8E, LLC for the maintenance of a specified area within the Caltrans right-of-way associated with the Otay Ranch Village 8 East project; and B) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Landscape Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation for the same right-of-way area. SUMMARY HomeFed Village 8E, LLC (“HomeFed”) is developing Otay Ranch Village 8 East and requires the installation and ongoing maintenance of landscaping, fencing, slope stabilization, and related improvements within a portion of the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) right-of-way along State Route 125. Caltrans requires that these improvements be maintained pursuant to a formal interagency Landscape Maintenance Agreement between the City of Chula Vista (“City”) and Caltrans. The proposed actions address this requirement. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Approval of the Landscape Maintenance Agreement with HomeFed Village 8E, LLC and authorization for execution of the Landscape Maintenance Agreement with the Californi a Department of Transportation are Page 83 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 administrative actions that do not authorize any new construction or physical changes to the environment. The physical improvements for the site were previously reviewed and approved as part of the Otay Ranch Village 8 East project. Accordingly, the proposed actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense” exemption, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the approval of these agreements may have a significant effect on the environment. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION Otay Ranch Village 8 East is a master-planned residential community currently under development by HomeFed Village 8E, LLC. As part of the project, improvements including slope grading, erosion control, landscaping, fencing, and related appurtenances are proposed within a defined portion of the Caltrans right- of-way along State Route 125. These improvements are necessary to support project design, safety, and long- term interface with the adjacent state highway. Caltrans requires that any improvements constructed within its right-of-way be subject to its standard Landscape Maintenance Agreement (“Caltrans LMA”), which identifies long-term maintenance responsibilities and performance standards and establishes a local agency as the responsible maintenance entity (Attachment 1). Under the Caltrans LMA, the City would be obligated to maintain the identified right-of-way area in accordance with the Streets and Highways Code, the Caltrans Maintenance Manual, and applicable encroachment permit requirements. These obligations include ongoing landscaping and irrigation maintenance; vegetation management; erosion control and slope monitoring; removal of unsheltered encampments; graffiti and debris removal; and related inspection and reporting requirements. In addition, the Caltrans LMA includes provisions related to the SR-125 Interchanges Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) process, including potential future grading adjustments to maintain consistency with the final PA&ED design, as well as assignment of responsibility to the City for certain corrective work associated with grading performed under the encroachment permit. Although the City would serve as the responsible public agency in the Caltrans LMA, the proposed companion Landscape Maintenance Agreement between the City and HomeFed (“HomeFed LMA”)(Attachment 2) would pass all obligations under the Caltrans LMA, including maintenance, operational, and related financial responsibilities to HomeFed. The proposed HomeFed LMA would establish the mechanism by which all obligations required under the Caltrans LMA would be assumed by HomeFed. To ensure performance of obligations associated with landscape maintenance and potential corrective grading and related work required under the Caltrans LMA, the HomeFed LMA requires the Developer to provide securities, in a form approved by the City, to guarantee completion of such work. Additionally, HomeFed must obtain and maintain insurance coverage consistent with Caltrans requirements and name the City and State as additional insureds and fully indemnify and defend the City against claims arising from activities performed pursuant to the Caltrans LMA within Caltrans right-of-way, including Page 84 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 claims asserted by Caltrans. The agreement allows HomeFed to assign its obligations to the Cota Vera homeowners’ association, ensuring long-term maintenance responsibility after project buildout. If obligations under the Caltrans LMA are not performed, Caltrans retains the right under its agreement with the City to undertake corrective maintenance at the City’s expense or require removal of the improvements and restoration of the right-of-way. The HomeFed LMA contractually assigns to HomeFed or its successor all responsibilities, costs, and liabilities associated with the City’s obligations under the Caltrans LMA. This pass-through structure allows the City to satisfy Caltrans’ legal and operational requirements while ensuring that all costs, risks, and responsibilities associated with the Caltrans LMA are borne by HomeFed or its successor. This staff report requests City Council approval of a resolution A) approving the Landscape Maintenance Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and HomeFed Village 8E, LLC for the maintenance of a specified area within the Caltrans right-of-way associated with the Otay Ranch Village 8 East project; and B) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Landscape Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation for the same right-of-way area. Authorizing execution of the Caltrans agreement at this time avoids the need for a future return to City Council once Caltrans finalizes the agreement, while preserving City Council oversight of the contractual framework and risk allocation. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff reviewed the property holdings of the City Councilmembers and 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.). 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 There are no current or ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund resulting from this action. All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the applicant. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There are no current or ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund resulting from this action. All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the applicant. ATTACHMENTS 1. Draft Landscape Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans 2.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Place an ordinance on first reading amending the Chula Vista Municipal Code to redesignate four seats on the Board of Library Trustees, Charter Review Commission, Sustainability Commission, Traffic Safety Commission, and Veterans Advisory Commission to use a district-based nomination process, one seat per district, without a district residency requirement for appointees, and clarifying that the existing Municipal Code process for the City Clerk to propose reassignment of seat designations for City Council consideration and approval applies when appointment processes are adjusted. (First Reading) SUMMARY On December 16, 2025, City Council referred to the City Clerk, in coordination with the City Attorney, to review the City’s boards and commissions appointment framework and return with recommended amendments to support greater district-based representation, consistent with legal constraints, subject- matter expertise, and the City Charter. On January 20, 2026, City Council received a presentation and directed staff to return with an ordinance to change four seats to use a district-based nomination process, without a district residency requirement for Page 115 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 the members, for the following bodies: Board of Library Trustees, Charter Review Commission, Sustainability Commission, Traffic Safety Commission, and Veterans Advisory Commission. The proposed ordinance implements that direction. In addition, staff recommends clarifying language to confirm that the existing Municipal Code process for the City Clerk to propose reassignment of seat designations for City Council consideration and approval applies when appointment processes are adjusted, in addition to when seat qualifications are modified. 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. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Boards and commissions with potential recommended changes to their structure were notified prior to and following the January 20, 2026, City Council meeting and again in advance of this item and were invited to submit written or in-person comments. DISCUSSION Background The proposed ordinance implements City Council direction provided on January 20, 2026, following a review of opportunities for greater district-based representation on City boards and commissions. City Council directed staff to return with an ordinance redesignating four seats on specified bodies to use a district-based nomination process, one per district, without a district residency requirement for appointees. Proposed Amendments The proposed ordinance would amend the Municipal Code to redesignate four seats, one per district, on each of the following bodies to use a district-based nomination process:  Board of Library Trustees  Charter Review Commission  Sustainability Commission  Traffic Safety Commission  Veterans Advisory Commission Under this structure, each of the four seats would be nominated by the corresponding District Councilmember and appointed by a majority vote of the full City Council in accordance with the City Charter. Appointees to these seats would not be required to reside in the corresponding district. Page 116 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 Seat Reassignment Clarification The Municipal Code currently establishes a process by which seat designations are reassigned when seat qualifications are modified. To provide clarity, staff recommends including language confirming that this existing process also applies when appointment processes are adjusted. This clarification is consistent with current practice and is intended to ensure an orderly transition as terms expire and seats are redesignated. Transition and Implementation Because the district-based nomination process does not include a district residency requirement, the change would not affect the qualifications of any current members to continue serving in their seats. The City Clerk would propose reassignment of seat designations to align with the updated appointment processes, with such reassignments brought forward for City Council consideration and approva l. As of the effective date of the ordinance, the new appointment process for redesignated seats would apply to any existing vacancies and to future vacancies as they occur, whether scheduled (expiration of term) or unscheduled (e.g., resignation). DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff have reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and have determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers 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 are not independently aware and have 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 No fiscal impact associated with the introduction and adoption of the proposed ordinance. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT No ongoing fiscal impact is anticipated. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity also qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution A) accepting $93,500 in grant funds from Kaiser Foundation Hospitals for the Operation Splash Community Swim Program, B) authorizing City Manager to execute grant documents, and C) amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating funds to the Parks and Recreation Section of the Other Grants Fund. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Department applied and was awarded the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (Kaiser Permanente) Operation Splash Grant for $93,500. Kaiser Permanente’s Operation Splash Grant Program has been funding elementary learn-to-swim classes for Chula Vista youth for over 15 years at the Loma Verde and Parkway Pools. For the upcoming grant cycle, grant funds will also be extended to support aquatic programming for Chula Vista families and seniors. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been 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 Page 127 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION The Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Department applied for and was awarded Kaiser Permanente’s (Kaiser Foundation Hospitals) Operation Splash Grant in the amount of $93,500. For more than 15 years, this grant program has supported elementary learn to swim classes for Chula Vista youth at the Loma Verde and Parkway Pools. At the request of the grantor, the City is broadening the scope of the Operation Splash Program to serve not only children, but also adults and seniors. This expanded focus will provide free summertime aquatic programming for families and older adults, increasing community access to safe physical activity that supports drowning prevention and overall health. No additional funding was provided for this expanded scope. The City is accomplishing the diversification of services by making modest reductions to some existing offerings while introducing new classes for adults and seniors. Title I elementary schools in the Chula Vista Elementary School District will continue to benefit from the program, with grant funds covering the full cost of swim lessons and a portion of transportation to Loma Verde and Parkway Pools. The City remains committed to sustaining the program by continuing to contribute City resources, including staff support, pool rental fees and supplies in an amount estimated to be $93,500. The grant performance period runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2028. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff have reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and have 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.). 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 Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of $93,500 in grant revenues from Kaiser Permanente and amend the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating $93,500 in expenditures to the Other Expenses category of the Parks and Recreation section of the Other Grants Fund. The annual costs associated with staff time, pool rental fees and supplies incurred by the City are estimated to be $93,500 and are included within the fiscal year 2025-26 Parks and Recreation Department General Fund budget. Page 128 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The grant performance period is through March 31, 2028. The annual costs associated with the staffing and other programming costs throughout the grant performance period will be included as part of the annual budget development process in future years.

The accuracy of his claim is under scrutiny, as it may not reflect the true nature of his professional history. This skepticism stems from concerns that his statements about being an educator could be misleading and possibly constitute another instance of dishonesty. As a result, further clarification and verification of his teaching credentials and experience are necessary to determine the validity of his claims.

All other projects are not site specific. Department: Housing and Homeless Services G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes 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. Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines. Recommended Action Conduct the public hearing and receive community input on the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Annual Action Plan recommendations for Federal Grant funding, including the Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and the HOME Investment Partnerships Act programs. SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista (“City”) receives annual federal funding through three entitlement programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): the Community Development Block Grant, the HOME Investment Partnerships Act; and the Emergency Solutions Grant. The City has reviewed funding applications submitted under these programs and prepared the draft Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan describing the proposed use of these funds. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive community input on the proposed funding recommendations contained in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Page 146 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuan t to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines. This determination is predicated on CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. Projects funded through these grant programs may require environmental review and preparation of appropriate documentation in accordance with applicable state and federal requirements, including CEQA Guidelines, NEPA, and applicabl e provisions of the City Municipal Code. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Community engagement activities for this item included social media outreach requesting completion of a public survey. Staff invited community members to participate in identifying community pri orities related to allocation of grant funds in the upcoming fiscal year. The online survey was available from November 19, 2025, through January 21, 2026, and received 899 responses from 21 participants. Survey responses indicate the following priorities: 1. Public services, affordable housing, and economic development are the greatest community needs. 2. The most urgent infrastructure needs are street lighting and street improvements (new pavement). 3. The highest priority community facility needs are senior centers, parks and recreational facilities, and homeless shelters and facilities. 4. Affordable housing needs include new construction of affordable rental housing, assistance to remove lead-based paint from homes, assistance for energy efficiency improvements to homes, and first-time homebuyer assistance. 5. Among eligible public services crime awareness and prevention, senior services, and health services received the highest scores, indicating greater need. 6. Substance abuse services ranked highest among special needs services. 7. Participants also express a need for job training and new job opportunities. In addition, the City held a public hearing on January 6, 2026, to receive community and City Council input regarding Fiscal Year 2026-2027 funding priorities. Community feedback received through these engagement activities informed development of the draft Annual Action Plan and is reflected, as appropriate, in the funding recommendations presented to the City Council. Page 147 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission were informed of the public review period during their March 25, 2026, meeting. DISCUSSION As a HUD entitlement community, the City receives annual funding through three (3) federal entitlement programs: the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). HUD determines each jurisdiction’s funding allocation using a formula based on demographic, housing, and economic data. These programs support activities that provide housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. HUD requires entitlement jurisdictions to prepare and adopt a five-year Consolidated Plan identifying housing and community development needs and establishing priorities for the use of federal funds. Consistent with this requirement, the City previously developed and adopted the 2025-2029 5-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan), which identifies housing and community development needs among low- and moderate-income residents and establishes the City’s five-year strategy for addressing those needs. Each year, the City identifies activities for funding that address priorities established in the Con Plan and comply with HUD program requirements and national objectives. These activities are presented in a one- year planning document known as the Annual Action Plan (Action Plan), which serves as the City’s annual funding application to HUD. This Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Action Plan represents the second year of the 2025- 2029 Con Plan period. The 2025-2029 Con Plan identifies five Housing and Community Development priority areas for funding consideration, summarized in Table 1 on the next page. Page 148 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 4 Table 1: 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Funding Priorities Increase affordable rental and owner- occupied housing to improve housing opportunities that reflect the community’s needs.  New Construction  Acquisition  Rehabilitation  First-Time Homebuyer Assistance  Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Support the development of vibrant, equitable and accessible neighborhoods by investing in public facilities and infrastructure.  ADA improvements  New streets and sidewalks  Public facility improvements Invest in community social services to promote equity and serve the most vulnerable of the community’s population. Public Services to low/moderate income including the following population:  Homeless Veterans; Youth; Seniors; Victims of Domestic Violence; Special Needs/ Disabled Enhance the City’s economic stability by investing in inclusive economic growth initiatives that develop and strengthen small businesses, employment and workforce development programs and improving access to jobs.  Business Financial Assistance Programs  Business Technical Assistance  Job Training and Placement Assist individuals and families to gain stable housing after experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis by providing appropriate services and housing solutions on a path to stability.  Shelter Operations  Homeless Prevention  Homeless Outreach  Homeless Supportive Services Page 149 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 5 FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN The City has received HUD’s allocations for each grant program and has prepared the draft Annual Action Plan using these funding amounts. Table 2: 2026-2027 Grant Funding Community Development Block Grant $2,262,340 $239,143 $2,501,483 Home Investment Partnerships Act $ 800,731 $400,000 $1,200,731 Emergency Solutions Grant $ 206,221 $0 $ 206,221 Funding Requests As part of the annual Action Plan process, the City issues a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. Staff advertised the NOFA at meetings of the Chula Vista Community Collaborative and distributed the notice by email to previously funded agencies and other interested parties. The NOFA was issued January 27, 2026, and applications were accepted from February 2, 2026, through March 2, 2026. Staff reviewed all proposals to confirm compliance with the program regulations and consistency with the City’s housing and community development priorities. A table showing funding recommendations can be found in the Action Plan as well as a summary of each request that details the requested funding level, proposed use of funds, and benefit to the community in Attachment 2. The federal grant funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME, and ESG are presented below. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) For Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the City will receive a total of $2,262,340 of CDBG funds. All projects considered for funding must address at least one of the three CDBG national objectives: (1) benefit primarily low - and moderate-income families; (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or (3) meet community needs due to a major emergency such as a natural disaster. CDBG funded projects are grouped into three categories: 1. Administration and Planning 2. Public Services 3. Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and Community Development A summary of staff funding recommendations within each category is provided below. 1. Administration/Planning Recommendations Funds within this category support all City staff costs associated with the management and administration of the CDBG program, including regulatory compliance, contract administration, subrecipient monitoring, fiscal management, and preparation of required planning documents. Required planning documents include the Annual Action Plan, the Consolidated Plan, and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. As detailed in Table 3, Federal regulations limit administrative and planning costs to twenty percent (20%) of the annual CDBG entitlement. For fiscal year 2026-2027, this cap is $452,468. Page 150 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 6 A portion of the City’s CDBG administrative allocation supports fair housing services. The City received multiple applications from fair housing service providers. Following review of the applications, staff recommends contracting with CSA San Diego County to provide fair housing services. Table 3: 2026-2027 CDBG Administration Funding 1 Housing and Homeless Services Department CDBG Administration/Planning $387,468 2 CSA San Diego County Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Services $65,000 2. Public Services Program Recommendation Public services funding supports programs administered by local agencies and community organizations that serve low-income residents, including seniors, persons with disabilities, at risk populations, and persons experiencing homelessness. Federal regulations limit public services funding to fifteen percent (15%) of the annual CDBG entitlement. For fiscal year 2026-2027, the cap is $339,351. Staff evaluated applications using funding priorities established in the Con Plan together with an established scori ng methodology that ranks programs based on demonstrated community need. Programs are categorized into three (3) tiers, with Tier I representing the highest priority. Table 4: Public Services Community Need Ranking : Programs that address basic, fundamental needs including shelter, food, and other commodities. Programs that provide services to persons with disabilities, special needs, and who are at high-risk. All other services which do not fall within Tier I or II and provide general public services to low/moderate income persons. Twelve public service applications were received. Available funding allows each application to be funded at the requested level, and staff therefore recommends full funding for each program. Each recommended applicant previously received grant funding and remains in good standing with the City and HUD. This year, staff also recommends allocating funds to support a City administered homeless services program. Hotel and motel voucher funding from the prior program year remains available and will support this program. A summary of applicants, requested funding amounts, and staff funding recommendations are provided in Table 5.

CIPs and Community Development After the Public Services and Administration activities are funded, $1,709,664 in CDBG funds remain available (annual entitlement and prior year funds) for capital improvement projects, public facility improvements, and other housing, community development, and economic development activities. The City has earmarked $709,896 for the annual Castle Park Infrastructure Section 108 debt service payment. Two (2) years remain on the twenty-year loan term. After this payment, $999,768 remains available for additional projects. To qualify for funding under the CIP category, projects must be located in a primarily residential area designated as low/moderate income by U.S. Census data. Projects must also serve a defined neighborhood area rather than the City or regional population as a whole. Priority consideration is given to projects demonstrating feasibility, measurable community benefit, and the ability to leverage additional funding sources. Projects are also evaluated for consistency with the City Critical Needs List and the Pedestrian Master Plan. Staff coordinated to identify projects that meet CDBG eligibility and expenditure requirements. Under CDBG regulations, CIP projects must serve an area in which at least fifty one percent (51%) of residents are low and moderate income, and sidewalk infrastructure projects must involve new construction. Three (3) projects are proposed for funding in this category: the Castle Park Section 108 loan payment, the Naples and Granjas sidewalk improvement project, and the BOOST Program administered by Upwards Care Inc.

The project will include installation of missing curb, gutter, and sidewalk in various locations. The included project map identifies the project location and HUD-designated Low/Moderate Income Census Tract (shaded in yellow). The BOOST Program offered by Upwards assists micro-enterprise in-home daycares through personalized coaching and technical assistance. Low-income business owners in Chula Vista will be assisted, increasing both the strength and income of these microenterprise daycares, while also increasing childcare options for Chula Vista residents. This program’s goals align with the City’s 2025- 2029 Con Plan economic development goals of business technical assistance and job creation. Upwards demonstrates thorough knowledge of CDBG regulations, is in good standing with HUD, and Staff are fully confident in their ability to execute the programming. Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) HOME funds may be used to support affordable rental housing and home ownership opportunities through the following activities: 1. New construction 2. Acquisition 3. Rehabilitation 4. First-time homebuyer assistance 5. Tenant-based rental assistance For fiscal year 2026-2027, the City will receive an allocation amount of $800,731. The City anticipates utilizing these HOME funds to address housing priorities identified in the 2025-2029 Con Plan. HOME regulations permit up to ten percent (10%) of the annual entitlement to be used for administration and require that fifteen percent (15%) be reserved for activities undertaken by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to create affordable housing units. For fiscal year 2026-2027, the CHDO set aside is $120,109. If these funds are not committed within the required timeframe, HUD may recapture the funds, and they would no longer be available to the City. Naples Street and Granjas Road Naples Street and Granjas Road Page 153 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 9 The City proposes to allocate the required CHDO set aside toward production of affordable housing units.

Together, these programs allow the City to address housing needs, support vulnerable populations, and invest in community infrastructure to maximize the impact of grant funding. Rising housing costs continue to outpace income growth, reducing housing affordability for many residents. The City continues to pursue additional funding sources and use available housing funds, including HOME, to support development of affordable housing projects and programs. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing to receive community input on the funding recommendations presented in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan. A detailed description of recommended programs and funding allocations is provided in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan included as Attachment 2. The draft plan was noticed in the Star News legal notice section and posted on the City website for the required 30-day public review period. The public comment period began March 13, 2026, and ends April 14, 2026. Following the closing of the comment period, staff will incorporate all public comments into the final Annual Action Plan and present it to the City Council for consideration on May 12, 2026. 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 Naples Street and Granjas Road CIP which is the subject of this action. It was determined that Mayor John McCann has real property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property located at 31 4th Avenue which is also subject of this action. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(a)(7), this item presents a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) for the above-identified member. 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 There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund as a result of this action. At this time, City Council is reviewing funding allocation requests for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. Appropriations for the proposed CDBG, HOME and ESG programs will be requested at a later date. In the remote event that HUD should withdraw the City's CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding, the Agreements/Memorandum of Understandings provide that the City is not obligated to compensate subrecipients or City Departments for program expenditures. Recommended funding allocations are summarized below.

Introduction Each year, the City of Chula Vista participates (as an entitlement jurisdiction) in the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG). These programs are administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provide funding for a variety of different community development, housing, and public service activities. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: 1) Benefit people with low- and moderate-incomes; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief). According to HUD's Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing (DH), a suitable living environment (SL), and expanding economic opportunities (EO) principally for low- and moderate-income persons. In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories: Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e. DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan During development of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which forms the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Strategic Plan and five subsequent Annual Action Plans required by HUD, the following Priority Needs, Program Activities, and related Objectives/Outcomes were established: Priority 1: Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]- Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low- and moderate- income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 500 households (100 households annually). Page 168 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Priority 2: Infrastructure and Facilities (SL-1) [High Need]- Improve and expand infrastructure and facilities that benefit primarily residential low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The quantifiable five- year goal is to improve 10 public facilities/infrastructure projects to benefit 5,000 low- and moderate-income residents in the eligible areas (2 projects/1,000 annually). Priority 3: Public Services (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide and improve access to public services for low- and moderate-income persons and those with special needs. Public Services will be funded based on applications received for a variety of services, including, but not limited to: Senior Services, Disabled Services, Youth Services, General Public Services, Homeless Facilities/ Supportive Services, Victims of Domestic Violence Services, Abused and Neglected Children, Foster Youth, Illiterate Adults, and other special needs. The quantifiable five- year goal is to serve 5,000 people (1,000 people annually). Priority 4: Economic Development (EO-1) [High Need]- Provide for the economic development needs of low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 5 businesses (1 business annually) and create/retain 50 jobs (10 jobs annually). Priority 5: Administration and Planning (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 600 households (120 households annually). Priority 6: Address Homelessness (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for programs to address the needs of the homeless population. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 600 households (120 households annually). 3. Evaluation of past performance The City’s CDBG funded programs implemented over the last year have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by provided a funding source for underserved needs. Specifically, the Capital Improvement Projects have given low-income neighborhoods an improved infrastructure system; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at-risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through construction of new housing units and down payment assistance; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of housing units/lead-based paint testing and abatement, and code enforcement; and emergency shelter and supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless. All of these projects and experiences have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the new Consolidated Plan Cycle. The City will continue the priorities and projects from the previous Consolidated Plan, as there are still unmet needs due to the limited amount of grant funds Page 169 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) received each year. It is anticipated that funding received in the next five years will not be sufficient to complete the remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low- and moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable housing, public services, fair housing and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys and public hearings in City Council meetings. Efforts in FY 2025-2026 were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. Further description of the consultation and citizen participation efforts can be found in the Appendix D. 5. Summary of public comments No comments were received on the FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan. 6.

Introduction The City of Chula Vista consulted with key City departments in the development of the FY 2026-2027 One-Year Action Plan including: Building; Planning; Code Enforcement; Community Services; and Public Works. Information was also collected from other public and quasi-public agencies, during the Consolidated Plan Process which included the Housing Authority and several local Public Service Agencies. Copies of the draft One-Year Action Plan were available during the 30-day public review period. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) In preparing the FY 2026-2027 One-Year Action Plan, the City incorporated the information contained in the Consolidated Plan needs assessment. This included a wide range of service providers who were contacted to compile information on community needs. Agencies representing persons with HIV/AIDS, homeless persons, low-income youth, persons with disabilities, elderly persons, and persons with alcohol/substance abuse problems were contacted. Additionally, the City regularly partners with health service providers through homeless outreach efforts including San Ysidro Health Centers and Family Health Centers. The City also advertises the annual Notice of Funding Availability through several media forms to attract different service providers, as well as through the Chula Vista Community Collaborative, which is a group of providers that meet regularly to discuss coordinated efforts. Specifically, consultation efforts included contacting the local Continuum of Care (CoC) is an integrated system of care that guides and tracks homeless individuals and families through a comprehensive array of housing and services designed to prevent and end homelessness. A CoC must have community plans to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximize self-sufficiency. That plan should include action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. HUD identifies four necessary parts of a continuum: 1) Outreach, intake and assessment; 2) Emergency shelter; 3) Transitional housing with supportive services; and 4) Permanent & permanent supportive housing with services, if needed. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The City coordinates with the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council and other public and private organizations within the Continuum of Care to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

Staff from various departments will continue to work together with the CoC to develop performance standards that provide a measure to evaluate each ESG subrecipients effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeded at the following: 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant's housing barriers or housing stability risks. These performance standards will be incorporated into the City's Subrecipient Agreements, and to the extent possible, will be tracked and measured in Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting. In the development of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City developed and implemented a comprehensive citizen participation and consultation process that included a needs assessment and market analysis to identify levels of relative need regarding affordable housing, homelessness, special needs, and community development. This information was gathered through consultation with public officials and local agencies, public outreach, community meetings, demographic and economic data review, and housing market analysis. The City’s Citizen Participation Plan provides for a variety of efforts to broaden public participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and various other aspects of the overall programs. Several opportunities for input were available, which are described in the table below. The process implemented by the City impacted goal setting as it incorporated citizen input at various stages throughout the development of the plan. Specifically, the Community Development Needs Survey results were tabulated and weighted to assign a High, Medium, Low, or No Such Needs to the various activity categories. All comments were also reviewed by staff to ensure the needs assessment and strategic plan incorporated those comments as appropriate. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

The projects are consistent with the citizen input received during the development of the Consolidated Plan. One of the greatest challenges in meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income persons is having limited financial resources. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the special needs of the underserved, including the elderly and frail elderly and persons belonging to protected classes that have been the victims of housing discrimination. The City also proactively seeks additional resources to better meet the underserved needs. The City has a detailed list of approved Capital Improvement Projects that demonstrate a general public need but, due to the loss of redevelopment, funding is scarce. Federal funds are used to serve the target community, meet the established goals for these funds, and to serve the greatest number of members of the community. The City will use its existing HOME Investment Partnership funds to provide First-Time Homebuyer assistance, Acquisition and Rehabilitation of existing housing stock for affordable housing, preservation of affordable housing, and new construction of affordable housing. For public services, the City utilizes CDBG funds. CDBG regulations, limit the amount the City can spend on public services and is capped at 15% of the City’s annual entitlement. The City provides funding to non-profit organizations that demonstrate an ability to provide needed services that directly benefit the residents of the Chula Vista. The use of the City of Chula Vista CDBG funds for public services enables non-profit organizations and City Departments to leverage these funds with other funding sources for projects and activities that serve the greatest number of residents with the limited amount of funding.

The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency for the four Public Housing projects located in the City of Chula Vista. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City of Chula Vista consults with the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego concerning consideration of the local public housing agency (PHA) needs and planned program activities. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) operates four conventional public housing developments in Chula Vista, with a total of 121 units. They are all managed by Terrantino Property Management and were recently upgraded to meet ADA and Section 504 compliance. These public housing units include:  Dorothy Street Manor- 22 low-income family units  Melrose Manor- 24 low-income family units  Town Centre Manor- 59 low-income senior/disabled units  L Street Manor- 16 low-income family units Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The City encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure and program implementation and development through its Housing and Homeless Advisory Committee (HHAC). The HHAC is an appointed Board representing Chula Vista residents, including public housing and elderly residents. The HAC serves as an organized spokesperson to participate and provide feedback on housing issues and housing development projects. Public housing residents are encouraged to participate in homeownership programs. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance N/A- The PHA is not designated as troubled.

Page 214 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction As noted, one of the Con Plan goals calls for "assisting individuals and families to stabilize in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness, by providing client-appropriate housing and support services." Actions undertaken to achieve this goal include the allocation of ESG, HOME, and CDBG funds totaling to assist homeless households via the Interfaith Rotational Shelter, Casa Nueva Vida Transitional Shelter, the Hotel/Motel Voucher Program, the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program, and the Homeless Bridge Shelter. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including  Goal 1: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs. In addition to the 1-year goals specified in the AP-20 Homelessness Goal, the City continues to participate as a member in the Regional Task Force on Homelessness (RTFH) and its Coordinated Entry System (CES) which has become an umbrella for local efforts. The RTFH built a regional system for coordinated assessment. The RTFH received guidance from HUD Technical Assistance and established the CES, a region-wide system to assess and place homeless individuals and families in housing, which ensures compliance with the HEARTH Act. CES uses a coordinated assessment tool to determine a homeless person’s level and type of need and match the person to an appropriate housing resource. The City partners with multiple service providers who work alongside our Homeless Outreach Team (HOT). The team is equipped with a PERT clinician, a social worker from the Health and Human Services Agency and other social service organizations to conduct routine outreach efforts throughout the city, particularly along encampments.  Goal 2: Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. The City is committed to increasing resources to help homeless persons. While many efforts are focused on the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Housing First Model, which aims to help homeless individuals and families quickly and easily access and sustain permanent housing, emergency and transitional housing programs are also receiving benefit from these resources too. The Chula Vista Village at Otay bridge shelter serves up to 62 persons daily in providing not only a safe, and stable shelter environment, but direct connection to housing navigation staff at the shelter. The staff’s main focus is to rapidly rehouse shelter residents into permanent housing or other long-term housing option. This process is dependent on the client’s vulnerability assessment, and CES housing resource match opportunities. Shelter residents work with Housing Navigators in a stable environment, while also having access to a multitude of resources for assistance with documentation, meeting medical and Page 215 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) mental health needs, benefit eligibility, etc.  Goal 3: Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The City subcontracts with local providers to assist families and individuals in short-term housing programs to move to permanent housing via rapid re-housing intervention. The goals of the program are to help clients to move quickly from homelessness to stably housed. This program provides households with security and utility deposits, and short or medium-term rental assistance. Clients receive case management targeted to housing stability.  Goal 4: Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The City utilizes its HOME-funded tenant-based rental assistance program which aims to assists low- income individuals and families who are at risk of becoming homeless as well as ESG funding for a rental arrears program to maintain housing stability.

Providing for a range of housing types and price points allow residents of all ages and income levels the opportunity to find adequate housing that meets their needs and financial capabilities; however, there are often barriers that prevent residents finding decent affordable housing. Barriers to the development of affordable housing occur at all three levels of government, as well as in the private market and within the community. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply especially those that relate to regional, national, and international economy. However, they do have control over several policies, which are examined in the City's Housing Element. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City of Chula Vista works to remove barriers to affordable housing while still protecting the health and safety of its residents by taking actions to reduce costs or providing off-setting financing incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. To mitigate the impacts of these barriers the City may: • Apply for State and federal funding to gap finance affordable housing production and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing stock. • Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. • Provide training opportunities in the area of CEQA and NEPA as needed so staff gain expertise in the preparation of environmental review documents. • Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize delay in housing development in general and affordable housing development in particular. • Continue providing rehabilitation assistance and homeownership assistance, and to assist in the construction and preservation of affordable housing. • Encourage public participation when a proposed project is being considered for approval. • Implement policies and strategies identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting incentives to assist in the production of safe, high-quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing, as evidenced by the numerous affordable housing developments that have occurred over the last few years. To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City will invest HOME to promote home ownership opportunities and the preservation of existing affordable Page 217 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 53 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) housing units over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources. New transit- oriented development strategies and the massive investments in streets and other areas of community development should also attract investors and developers. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City. The City will also contract with the CSA San Diego to address any impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Discussion: See Narratives above. Page 218 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: HUD requires that cities receiving block grant funds take actions to affirmatively further fair housing choice. Fair housing choice is achieved by ensuring that persons are not denied housing opportunity because of their race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, or familial status (family with children). Cities report on the progress of affirmatively furthering fair house choice by completing an Analysis of Impediments (AI). The AI is a review of the nature and extent of impediments to fair housing choice in the San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista. The last two AIs have been produced in collaboration with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFFH), formerly known as the Fair Housing Resources Board (FHRB). The SDRAFFH is a dedicated group of professionals who work together to ensure that all residents in San Diego County have equal access to housing. It is comprised of members of the fair housing community, local jurisdictions, enforcement agencies and housing providers. The City of Chula Vista affirmatively furthers fair housing by contracting for the provision of fair housing services and conducting fair housing testing to detect any fair housing violations. The services include education and outreach to residents and housing providers, assistance with submitting fair housing complaints to HUD, legal services, and tenant/landlord mediation. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs: The primary obstacle in meeting the underserved needs is the continued lack of available funding for community development and housing activities, including public services and other programs. Given the federal budget and drastic state budget cuts, local jurisdictions like Chula Vista and the County of San Diego, are being forced to cut social service programs. In Southern California, the continued high cost of living, housing costs for both rental and ownership, and the reduction of funds all combine to create a major obstacle in providing affordable housing that is truly affordable. The City is eager to work more closely with social service providers in order to combine efforts to ensure that the available federal- funds are being used in the most effective way possible. The Chula Vista Community Collaborate continues to hold its City quarterly social service provider meetings in Chula Vista to facilitate networking for solutions to the underserved needs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing: The City has two programs to foster and maintain affordable housing: the Inclusionary Ordinance and the affordable housing inspection program. The Inclusionary Ordinance fosters the development of affordable housing in that it requires all developers of new residential development of twenty (20) units or more to either provide 10% of those units at affordable prices or pay a housing in-lieu fee to the City. The City’s inspection program ensures that the City’s 2,000+ units of affordable rental housing are maintained in a clean and safe condition and that the incomes of those families living in the different sections of the City have been verified as meeting the limits required by the funding source that help Page 219 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 55 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) build the units. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards: The City will continue to inform residents applying for loans or grants through its First-Time Homebuyer Program and Rehabilitation program about the hazards of lead-based paint. Code Enforcement and building inspectors will continue to identify lead-based paint hazards as part of their ongoing activities, if the scope of the complaint allows them into the unit, or if it is part of an on-going investigation. CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs require compliance with all of HUD’s regulations concerning lead-based paint. All housing programs operated by the City are in compliance with HUD’s most recent standards regarding lead-based paint. Specifically for the following:  The City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program, lead abatement disclosure is the responsibility of the seller, and the City will not participate in any homebuyer assistance if the seller refuses to abate known lead hazards. Each homebuyer is required to obtain an independent third-party inspection report.  The City’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program meets the federal requirements for providing lead-based paint information with each rehabilitation loan and requiring paint testing of disturbed surfaces for lead in all single-family homes constructed before 1978. If a home was found to have lead-based paint, the cost of lead-based paint removal is an eligible activity under the homeowner rehabilitation program. City building inspectors are alerted to any housing units that apply for a permit for construction or remodeling, which may contain lead-based paint and other lead hazards.  The City of Chula Vista will work closely, if needed, with the County of San Diego’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), a division of the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. The CLPPP provides outreach and education programs and case management services for San Diego County residents, including Chula Vista residents. City’s Acquisition Rehabilitation Program and Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program guidelines describe the level of abatement that is needed if lead hazards are present.  Each Developer of Affordable rental housing must ensure that all housing constructed, redeveloped, rehabilitated, or acquired with HOME and or CDBG funds must comply with applicable provisions of Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821–4846), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851–4856), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 35, subparts A, B, J, K, M and R upon completion of the development. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families: As previously stated, the City’s anti-poverty strategy of providing safe, affordable housing will assist in reducing the number of poverty level families in Chula Vista. By providing safe, affordable housing for those on a limited income, those families will be able to live in an environment where no more than 30% Page 220 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 56 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) of their limited income is spent on housing. In addition, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding requires affordable housing developments provide programs (e.g. after school, computer labs, budgeting and language classes) to assist residents in excelling in both school and the work environment. These affordable housing developments assist families in moving up the economic ladder by providing the tools that add to their success. LIHTC continues to be the most important source for leveraging the City’s HOME, and CDBG funds for affordable housing development projects. Actions planned to develop institutional structure: The City of Chula Vista is a member of one key organization which relies heavily on public and private coordination in the region to address the needs of the low-income community members. The Chula Vista Community Collaborative (CVCC) is a collaboration among partners and stakeholders in Chula Vista which include residents and parents, schools and school district staff, social service/non-profit agencies, local government, faith-based community, health professionals, and business owners. Together, CVCC works to develop coordinated strategies and systems that protect the health, safety, and wellness of its residents, as well as share information and resources that strengthen families and communities. Regular meetings are held with the goal of obtaining and sharing information about services, resources, employment and training opportunities, as well as any events accessible to the Chula Vista community. The meetings are a useful venue to network and efficiently coordinate activities with partnering agencies. Although the City of Chula Vista administers the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs, the City does engage in contracts with outside agencies for the delivery of services to the public, other than the required fair housing services and funding requests received from City Departments. Non-profits apply for public service funds, capital improvement, and creation of affordable housing. The City monitors the affordable housing programs for all properties in its portfolio including those owned by private parties, under a deed restriction between the City and the respective party. The City has developed a strong relationship with both affordable and for-profit housing developers in not only the creation of affordable units but the ongoing maintenance of the developments as well. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies: Non-profit social service agencies continue to play an important role in serving the needs of low-and moderate-income residents in Chula Vista. The City surveyed social service providers who serve Chula Vista during the needs assessment process and will continue to attend the Chula Vista Community Collaborative meetings to foster networking among the providers. Discussion: In the implementation of the FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, ESG Page 221 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 57 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) funds, and other resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to coordinate the housing strategy with local and regional transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of affordable housing have access to public transportation.

A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: Other forms of investment being used by the City is the match provided for HOME-funded housing activities. The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds used for rental assistance, housing rehabilitation, and acquisition and rehabilitation of housing. Some examples include land value (donated), on and off-site improvements, waiver of local and state taxes or fees, low-interest loans below market, inclusionary housing obligations. Most commonly, the City's match funds are generally generated through housing developer contributions, prior Low/Moderate Income Set-Aside funds from the State, and individual first-time homebuyer private funds. Specific match dollar amounts are reported to HUD in the CAPER though its submittal of the HUD forms 40107-A HOME Match Log. The City will be releasing a Notice Funding Availability to all Certified Community Housing Developer Organizations to leverage with the available HOME funds. The City of Chula Vista does not use HOME funds in any other manner than described in 24 CFR Part 92.205. II. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: Recapture Requirements: If the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the homebuyer for the duration of the period of affordability, the City of Chula Vista (“City”) may recapture the entire amount of HOME assistance from the homebuyer, subject to the limitation that when the recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the property, and there are no net proceeds, or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME funds due, Page 224 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) the City can only recapture what is available from net proceeds. The net proceeds are calculated as the sales price minus superior loan repayments (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. The property will no longer be subject to the affordability requirements after the City has recaptured the HOME funds in accordance with the 24 CFR 92.254(5)(ii). For more specific details, refer to the Chula Vista homebuyer program recapture option which is processed in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 92.254 of the HOME Regulations. III. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: See discussion above. IV. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: The following are conditions under which the City’s HOME’s program will allow a refinance existing debt secured by multi-family housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds: (a) Residential rehabilitation shall be the primary eligible activity for refinance consideration. The required minimum ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing is 1.05. (b) Management practices shall be reviewed to demonstrate that disinvestments in the property have not occurred, that the long-term needs of the project can be met, and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be demonstrated. (c) New investment shall be made to maintain current affordable units or to create additional affordable units. (d) The Program statutory minimum period of affordability shall be those imposed in accordance with 24 CFR 92.252 of the HOME Regulations. The City typically imposes a HUD affordable period of 20 years. However, other funding sources may require an extended period of affordability and program compliance period of 55 years. (e) The investment of HOME funds shall be within the geographic area of the City. However, HOME funds could be used outside the geographic area of the City if it can be demonstrated that there is a regional benefit to residents of the City on a case-by-case basis. (f) HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multi-family loans made or insured by any federal program, including the CDBG Program. V. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). The City does not require a preference for persons with special needs or disabilities for HOME TBRA activities. VI. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and Page 225 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). The City does not require a preference for persons with a specific category of individuals with disabilities for HOME TBRA activities. VII. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a). The City does not define any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Reference 91.220(l)(4) Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) Refer to written standards attached. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. The San Diego City and County Continuum of Care (hereinafter referred to as the “CoC”) includes all of the geography within the County of San Diego, including the City of Chula Vista. The City of Chula Vista is required to consult with the CoC on funding priorities using ESG funds. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) charges communities that receive funds under the Homeless Continuum of Care Program (hereinafter referred to as “CoC Program”) of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH Act) with specific responsibilities. Section 578.5 of the HEARTH Interim Rule published in July2012 (Interim Rule), defines a Continuum of Care (CoC) as “the group organized to carry out the responsibilities required under this part and that is composed of representatives of organizations, including nonprofit homeless providers, victim service providers, faith-based organizations, governments, businesses, advocates, public housing agencies, school districts, social service providers, mental health agencies, hospitals, universities, affordable housing developers, law enforcement, organizations that serve homeless and formerly homeless veterans, and homeless and formerly homeless persons to the extent these groups are represented within the geographic and are available to participate.” Relevant organizations in the San Diego CoC Region established the Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC) in 1998, which has served as the CoC coordinating body acknowledged by HUD. Planning and operations of the San Diego CoC have historically been facilitated through the RCCC, an unincorporated association as defined under Section 18035 of the California Corporations Code. As a result, the general operations of the CoC have been guided through the By Laws, structure, and action of the RCCC. Page 226 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Annual Action Plan 2026 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). The City of Chula Vista releases a funding of Notice Availability inviting all non-profit organizations who serve eligible ESG clients to submit a proposal. The process below is included in the City’s Federal Grants Administrative Manual attached. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. Not applicable. The City has met the homeless participation requirement. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The ESG entitlement areas and the RCCC have established the following cross-jurisdictional strategies for use of the ESG funds in ways that that set performance standards for each subrecipient: • Further the accomplishment of actions identified in the Consolidated Plan of each jurisdiction. • Foster greater access to permanent housing, especially helping people access housing that is affordable at 30% area median income. • Leverage existing resources to achieve the match and case management requirements and to avoid duplication of services. • Coordinate across jurisdictions for development of standardized eligibility and assessment standards and by convening semiannual regional planning meetings. • Support federal and local goals for priority populations, including but not limited to veterans, persons with disabilities, families, and others. • Allow for variations in ESG entitlement programs that respond to the needs and resources of the individual jurisdictions. • Comply with eligibility and verification requirements and locally established standards (HMIS, housing status, habitability standards, homeless definitions, etc.). • Allows each program to take responsibility for program administration including compliance with public notice requirements and timely reporting. • Encourages all subrecipients to participate in collaborative assessment, coordinated entry, data management, and reporting systems established by the RCCC in accordance with HEARTH regulations. • Supports timely and accurate data collection and reporting through contractual obligations with subrecipients, and through establishing common standards for vendor relationships with the HMIS Lead.

These grant funds are administered through HUD’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). As an entitlement jurisdiction for a fiscal year 2021 HOME program allocation, the City of Chula Vista is also eligible to receive a HOME-ARP grant allocation for the fiscal year 2021 program year. Using the same HOME Program allocation formula HUD has determined that the City of Chula Vista will be receiving an allocation of $3,144,480, an increase of $4,703 from the initial allocation of $3,139,777. The new allocation amount will be reflected throughout the remainder of the plan. Grants funds must be used to benefit individuals who are eligible according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME-ARP guidelines. HUD has established four qualifying populations that the use of these funds must primarily benefit: • Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); • At-risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)); • Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, as defined by the Secretary; • In other populations where providing supportive services or assistance under section 212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 12742(a)) would prevent the family’s homelessness or would serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability. Along with these qualifying populations HUD also determined four eligible activities: • Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing; • Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA); • Supportive Services, including services defined at 24 CFR 578.53(e), homeless prevention services, and housing counseling; • Purchase and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter. These structures can remain in use as non-congregate shelter or can be converted to: 1) emergency shelter under the Emergency Solutions Grant program; 2) permanent housing under the Continuum of Care; or 3) affordable housing under the HOME Program. HOME-ARP funding is a subset of the general HOME Investment Partnership program which aims to expand housing options for low-income households. The HOME program is the federal government’s largest grant designated to create new affordable housing units. The City receives approximately $900,000 in HOME funding annually, which is primarily allocated towards Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA). Page 235 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 3 The use of HOME-ARP funds is critical for Chula Vista at a time when the need for affordable housing and housing assistance is greater than ever. The City currently has an annual population growth of 12.5 percent, outpacing San Diego County’s total growth rate of 7.8 percent. Overall, Chula Vista’s population is expected to increase by 40 percent by 2050. This rapid growth brings added pressure to existing housing challenges and homelessness within the City. Low- and moderate-income households are disproportionately impacted by this pressure, compared to those earning higher income; thus, there is a high need for housing assistance targeted at the 19,085 households earning at or below 80 percent of AMI experiencing housing problems. In addition, special needs groups like victims of domestic violence, disabled individuals, and those at risk of homelessness are more affected by these problems, as they tend to need supportive services in addition to affordable housing. As of 2020 16,770 low- and moderate-income renter households in Chula Vista were experiencing overpayment for rent, in excess of 30% of their household incomes. 10,230 of these households experience a cost burden of more than 50% of household income. Overall, 48% of low- and moderate-income households in the City are defined as cost-burdened. These numbers translate to a significant number of households who are at-risk of homelessness within the City of Chula Vista. Families with incomes below the poverty level, typically those households with extremely-low and very-low incomes, are at greatest risk of becoming homeless and typically require special programs to assist them in meeting their rent and mortgage obligations to prevent homelessness. The 2020 Census estimated 9.6 percent of the residents in Chula Vista as living in poverty. In comparison, the County of San Diego had 10.3 percent. Individuals with a disability in Chula Vista experience poverty at 16.7 percent. These households need assistance with housing subsidies, utility and other living expense subsidies, as well as other supportive services. Victims of domestic violence are often severely impacted by these problems as well, as their incomes may drastically change if they must leave their job for safety and lose a partner, whom they may be sharing expenses with. According to the 2020 Point In Time Count for the County of San Diego, it is estimated that nearly 1,080 homeless adults were a victim of domestic violence at some point in the past, and an estimated 600 adult domestic violence victims were unsheltered on the night of the count. Shelters contracted through the City using HUD funds currently house around 389 victims of domestic violence, but the housing needs for this population are also expected to increase drastically. The City surveyed and consulted with multiple community partners and members of the public to shape goals and objectives for HOME-ARP funding. Overall, this effort has influenced the City to prioritize production and preservation of affordable housing units. This is largely based on the perceived needs explained through outreach efforts and the City’s own gaps in existing funding opportunities and services. Page 236 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 4 Based on the information above, the City’s priority housing need for qualifying populations is the development and preservation of affordable housing units. This includes housing units included in permanent supportive housing with wraparound services. The City of Chula Vista will use the $3,144,480 HOME-ARP allocation specifically for the development of permeant supportive housing units. Consultation Consultation Process The City of Chula Vista consulted with relevant agencies and stakeholders that serve each of the qualifying populations within the jurisdiction and surrounding areas. These organizations include homeless service providers; domestic violence survivor service providers; substance use treatment providers; the local Continuum of Care; a local homelessness taskforce; veteran’s service providers; a public housing agency; and an organization that addresses fair housing, civil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities. Providers were chosen based on services provided as well as ensuring there was a representative organization for each of the qualifying populations to be served, as shown in Table 1. There were two surveys developed and distributed to solicit feedback on spending priorities for HOME-ARP funds, one at the beginning of 2022 and another in the later part of the year. The surveys were issued to the public as well as the above-mentioned providers through the San Diego Regional Taskforce on Homelessness. Additionally, a public presentation was given at the November 30, 2022 meeting of the San Diego Regional Taskforce on Homelessness meeting.

CSA San Diego Fair Housing Organization Survey QP #4 Permanent supportive housing is needed. Summary of feedback received from consultation Nearly every consulted agency and service provider indicated a high need for supportive services and affordable housing. There is an abundance of need in the region for permanent supportive housing that combines the services that individuals need as well as housing that is affordable at individual income levels. The current housing shortage combined with a lack of available case management puts our vulnerable populations at risk even more than they already are. Public Participation The section below describes the public participation process, including information about and the dates of the public comment period and public hearing(s) held during the development of the plan: • Date(s) of public notice: 02/04/2022 and 11/11/2022 • Public comment period: start date - 11/25/2022 end date - 12/25/2022 • Date(s) of public hearing: 2/15/2022 & 2/14/2023 Page 238 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 6 Public participation process description Information on HOME-ARP funds and their upcoming availability to the City of Chula Vista was made known to the public through a public participation process that follows the City’s Citizen Participation Plan. Additionally, public notices for comment and hearings were made available once at the beginning of 2022 and again later in the same year. A 20-question survey was developed to solicit public feedback on eligible uses and spending priorities of the allocated HOME-ARP funds. This survey was made available through the City of Chula Vista social media on November 3, 2022, and shared with relevant stakeholders as well, as mentioned in the consultation summary. The official public comment period began with a publication in the Star News on November 25, 2022, and will end on December 25, 2022. The cost allocation plan will also be included in the Staff report for a public hearing to be held on February, 14 th, 2023 therefore any feedback received after the respective Council meeting will be incorporated into the cost allocation plan, as applicable. Efforts to broaden public participation The City’s decisions to fund projects that directly benefit the residents of Chula Vista can only be accomplished through a thorough and transparent citizen participation process. Consistent with the Citizen Participation Plan, the City of Chula Vista continues to increase presence and promotion efforts on social media and in local news agencies. The City’s intention is that this increased engagement through social media platforms will increase resident and stakeholder participation in the City’s efforts to provide informed funding decisions. The goal with this approach is to use as many means as possible to solicit public and partner-agency input on the decision-making processes with these funding opportunities. Summary of comments and recommendations received Overall, comments and survey results largely favored development of affordable housing and permanent supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness. Survey respondents requested additional resources for permanent supportive housing and favored non-congregate housing options. Chula Vista residents recognize the growing need of affordable housing leveraged with supportive services that can assist the most vulnerable populations in our City and ultimately benefit the City as a whole. All Chula Vista residents are affected by the poor or inadequate living conditions that many of our low-income residents are experiencing, and the development of affordable housing can provide a dignified solution. Summary of comments or recommendations not accepted The City of Chula Vista did not reject any public comments or recommendations. Page 239 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 7 Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis Needs Assessment There is a growing need for affordable housing and supportive services in the City of Chula Vista. As the City’s population grows over the next two decades, existing housing challenges are expected to increase. This includes an increase in the number of homeless households and households at risk of becoming homeless. Detailed below are inventories on the City’s current housing needs and a gap analysis. In August of 2021 the City conducted its own count of unsheltered persons. The August 18th, 2021, count totaled 792 persons meeting the definitions of homeless. Of these 792 individuals, 453 were sheltered and 339 were unsheltered. The unsheltered population of Chula Vista included 239 males, 89 females and 11 individuals of other or unknown gender. 50% of all homeless individuals had been homeless for 3 years or more and 55% percent of these individuals were experiencing homelessness for their first time. These are not being used for the gap analysis below, we are instead using the Federal Point in Time Count data, which is lower than our local count.

Chula Vista Housing Element 2021-2029 Qualifying populations size and demographic information Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 As of the 2022 Point in Time Count, there were 309 homeless individuals staying in both sheltered and unsheltered conditions. At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 As of 2020, there were 12,015 households in the City making less than 30% AMI. Of these, 9,755 households, or 81%, had a housing problem such as a cost burden greater than 30%, more than one person per room, or lacking facilities like plumbing or a kitchen. Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice 1,257 residents of Chula Vista contacted SBCS Corporation in fiscal year 2022 for specific housing needs. SBCS is Chula Vista’s primary resource for victims of domestic violence and partner in providing services to other low-income populations. SBCS currently operates two domestic violence shelters within the City. Page 241 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 9 Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and other populations at greatest risk of housing instability, as defined by HUD in the Notice The City serves many households who have previously been qualified as homeless and who are currently housed due to temporary financial assistance or services. This includes 29 individuals currently receiving Tenant-Based Rental Assistance. According to the City’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan there were 110 veterans currently receiving Housing Vouchers, with 14 being elderly and 33 being disabled. Current resources available The City of Chula Vista currently employs a hotel/motel voucher program for individuals in need of a transitional living solution as they move into a permanent housing unit. Additionally, there is an active HOME-funded tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) program available for low- income households which helps provide a temporary hand -up for 12-24 months as households achieve self-sufficiency. There are also 20 permanent supportive units at the Casa Anita project with more units currently being planned for production within the next few years. The City also continues to monitor and keep the existing affordability covenants for 2,179 units across the City, with more affordability restricted units in development. In addition to each of these efforts, the City of Chula Vista is also in the process of constructing a non -congregate 60-bed bridge shelter for homeless individuals that are working towards a permanent housing solution. The shelter will contain wrap-around services for each program participant as well as key infrastructure to serve as a navigation center to provide key resources. Unmet housing and service needs of qualifying population. Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 Chula Vista leverages several resources for individuals living in homelessness, however there are still many unmet housing and service needs, paired with a growing homeless population. As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City receives approximately $400,000 is Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding each year. ESG funds in Chula Vista are primarily used for homeless prevention, homeless shelter operations, and shelter rehabilitation projects. The City also utilizes its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for similar purposes including homeless services and a hotel/motel voucher program. Despite the use of these funds for homeless services and shelters, there are still major gaps in the availability of permanent supportive housing and affordable units for this population. As many as 93 additional shelter Page 242 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 10 beds are needed to house homeless individuals. This gap is expected to rise as the homeless population in Chula Vista increases over the next five years. At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 There are not enough affordable units throughout the City to assist individuals and families at risk of homelessness. Approximately 14,885 households experience a housing cost burden greater than 50% of their household income. Currently, the City maintains covenants restricting the affordability of around 3,110 rental units in the city. With an increasing population and increased costs for renter and homeowners, this number is not expected to be sufficient for the number of households in Chula Vista in need of more affordable housing. As many as 12,261 affordable units may be needed to serve this population. Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice Domestic Violence (DV) is one of the top crimes in the City of Chula Vista. It is the number two type of police call for service. Each year, there are more than 3,700 incidents, with about 1,200 of those incidents resulting in actual crimes. Assuming each of the crime calls referenced is an unduplicated household, it is likely that approximately 1,200 households in Chula Vista may need to relocate, possibly with minor children and may require temporary housing assistance. According to the City’s last Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), the South Bay Community Services Family Violence Program assisted 513 victims of domestic violence, which indicates that many victims may not seeking help and/or there may be a barrier to obtaining legal help. While the City partners with SBCS Corporation on the operation of two domestic violence shelters, there is a need for more transitional housing and permanent supportive shelter options for this population. Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and other populations at greatest risk of housing instability as defined by HUD in the Notice The number of households in this category is currently growing in Chula Vista. Households previously qualified as “homeless” may be currently housed through the following options: • Chula Vista Seven - a project consisting of seven scattered housing units designated for extremely low-income households [0 – 30% of area median income (“AMI”)], which are now occupied by previously homeless families, who are finding their way back to self-sufficiency. Page 243 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 11 • Hotel/Motel Voucher Program - Understanding the critical need of emergency shelter beds, an alternative was created with voucher program funding, providing up to 28 days of a safe space for our Homeless Outreach Team and clients to work together towards stabilization. • Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program - For those requiring longer term housing assistance, HOME funds were earmarked to provide up to twenty-four months of rental assistance. Gaps within the current shelter, housing inventory, and service delivery system Additional Characteristics Refining the definition of “Other Populations”: The City’s Consolidated Plan does not provide additional characteristics associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness, therefore there are no additional characteristics refining the definition of the fourth “other” qualifying populations. Priority needs for qualifying populations Based on feedback from community partners and the public, the City has determined that in addition to affordable housing the greatest needs for all four qualifying populations are more wrap around services such as mental health care, housing navigation, and drug rehabilitation options, among others. Need and Gap Determination Process The City determined the need for mental health care, housing navigation, and drug rehabilitation services through HMIS data and individual interviews with homeless individuals who are clients of the City’s Homeless Outreach Team. The City also receives input and feedback from our various nonprofit and social service partners. HOME-ARP Activities Method(s)that will be used for soliciting applications The City will issue a standard request for proposals (RFP) to solicit bids from qualified developers who want to construct affordable housing or complete affordable housing conversions in Chula Vista. The City will also release RFPs for qualified service providers once the units have been constructed or converted. The RFPs will be published in the City’s public bid software, PlanetBids. The City’s Finance Department’s Procurement team will facilitate a Page 244 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 12 contractor selection process that will include a panel of subject experts who will each rank submitted bids on qualification and costs. Qualified bidders will then be interviewed to determine which bidder is preferred for project development. Administration of eligible activities The City of Chula Vista will oversee the administration of the permanent supportive housing project by a qualified contractor. Oversight will include monitoring compliance with program regulations for tenant selection and affordability restrictions as well as the availability of supportive services. HOME-ARP funds administered by a subrecipient or contractor The City of Chula Vista’s HOME-ARP allocation will not be administered through a subrecipient. Table 4: Use of HOME-ARP Funding Funding Amount Percent of the Grant Statutory Limit Supportive Services Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelters Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Development of Affordable Rental Housing $ 2,672,808 85% Non-Profit Operating Non-Profit Capacity Building Administration and Planning $ 471,672 15 % 15% Total HOME ARP Allocation $ 3,144,480.00 100% HOME-ARP funds distribution The City’s gap analysis clearly demonstrates a need for affordable housing units and permanent supportive services for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Based on this demonstrated need, all funds will assist with the development of permanent supportive beds and affordable housing units. The City’s needs assessment indicates that of the eligible HOME- ARP activities production and preservation of affordable housing is the most important. The City can leverage various other funding sources, such as ESG and CDBG, for supportive services and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance. Therefore, the City’s intention is to use its full HOME -ARP allocation for production of affordable housing. Plan rationale The City’s planned use of HOME-ARP funds is based on data and consultation feedback that strongly point to a need to address the lack of permanent supportive units and services in the Page 245 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 13 City. This is coupled with the large number of persons currently living in homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the City, which is expected to rise as the population of the City increases over the coming two decades. These factors indicate that the greatest need is for production of more affordable housing units. To assist the City with this goal, it was decided that HOME -ARP funds entirely be allocated to development or conversion of affordable housing units. HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals Number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that Chula Vista expects to produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation: With HOME-ARP funding we would expect to obligate the development of approximately 18 units. With similar funding and leveraging opportunities recent developments have yielded approximately 90 affordable units. Affordable rental housing production goal that the Chula Vista hopes to achieve and how the production goal will address the City’s priority needs: In the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, Chula Vista established its affordable housing goals according to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). Of the 11,105 housing units the City needs to produce by 2029, 2,750 units are to be set aside for very-low-income households and 1,777 units need to be set aside for low-income households. There are many projects and initiatives planned or currently underway in the City to help accomplish these goals, however there is a major need for gap financing when it comes to development and production of affordable housing. Units produced or converted with the use of HOME-ARP funds would directly contribute to this goal. Preferences The City of Chula Vista will intentionally not establish preferences as there is already a high need for low-barrier services for each of the qualifying populations. The City intends for units and associated wrap-around services developed with these funds to strictly be available to households currently experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, households fleeing domestic violence, and other qualifying populations. HOME-ARP funding will be used to provide gap-financing to facilitate the development of affordable units within affordable housing projects that also utilize other funding sources. Referral Methods The City of Chula Vista will work with the eventual on-site management and service provider to establish an internal chronological waiting list. The use of a waiting list better suits the needs of Page 246 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 14 the community and ensures that applicants are served on a first-come first-served basis instead of receiving referrals from a third-party agency. Limitations The City of Chula Vista will not be limiting the assistance provided under the development of permanent supportive housing to any one qualifying population. The services provided through this project will be made available to all applicants that fall under the eligible qualifying populations for HOME-ARP funding. The need in the Chula Vista community is too great to prevent a subpopulation from accessing resources they may desperately need. HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines The City of Chula Vista does not intend to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt.

I. DEFINITION OF HOMELESS Contractor will use the HUD definition of homeless found in 24 CFR Part 576, as amended. Homeless means individuals and families defined as Homeless under the following categories are eligible for assistance in ESG projects: • Category 1 – Literally Homeless • Category 2 – Imminent Risk of Homeless • Category 3 – Homeless Under Other Federal Statutes • Category 4 – Fleeing/Attempting to Flee DV This final rule, published in the Federal Register (Vol. 76. No. 233) on December 5, 2011, integrates the regulation for the definition of “homeless,” and the corresponding recordkeeping requirements, for the Emergency Solutions Grants program. II. EVALUATIONS. Per 24 CFR 576.401 the City and ESG sub-recipients must conduct an initial evaluation to determine each individual or family's eligibility for ESG assistance and the amount and types of assistance the individual or family needs to regain stability in permanent housing. These evaluations must be conducted in accordance with the centralized or coordinated assessment requirements set forth under §576.400(d). Re-evaluations. The City and ESG sub-recipients must re-evaluate the program participant's eligibility and the types and amounts of assistance the participant needs; not less than once every 3 months for program participants receiving homeless prevention assistance and not less than once annually for program participants who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance. At the City and sub- recipient’s discretion, re-evaluations may be conducted more frequently than required by 24 CFR 576.401 and may also be incorporated into the case management process for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing participants – See 24 CFR 576.401(e)(i). Regardless of which timeframe is used, re-evaluations, must at minimum, establish that: The program participant does not have an annual income that exceeds 30 percent of median family income for the area, as determined by HUD; and the program participant lacks sufficient resources and support networks necessary to retain housing without ESG assistance. To determine if an individual or family is income eligible, the City or subrecipient must examine an individual or family’s annual income to ensure that it does not exceed the most current area income limits posted on the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s webpage “ESG: Emergency Solutions Grants Program” https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/4018/2014-hud-median-income-limits-30/. III. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES A.

B. RAPID RE-HOUSING AND HOMELESS PREVENTION ESG funds may be used to provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short-and/or medium-term rental assistance as necessary to help a homeless individual or family move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability in that housing. This assistance is referred to as rapid re-housing assistance. ESG funds may be used to provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short-and/or medium-term rental assistance as necessary to prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter or another place described in paragraph (1) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 576.2. Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families and individuals will receive homelessness prevention assistance and which eligible families and individuals will receive rapid re-housing assistance will consist of a waiting list for potentially eligible clients and those who most likely benefit from the program. Through the use of a screening and assessment process, program eligibility will be assessed by thoroughly exploring a family’s or individual’s situation and pinpointing their unique housing and service needs. Based upon the assessment, families and individuals should be referred to the kinds of housing and services most appropriate to their situations and need (i.e. access all available services to increase self-sufficiency). Once in place, a centralized or coordinated assessment system will help to better match individuals and families with the most appropriate assistance. Under homelessness prevention assistance, funds are available to persons below 30% of Area Median Income (AMI), who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. ESG funds can be used to prevent an individual or family from becoming homeless and/or regain stability in current housing or other permanent housing. Rapid re-housing funding will be available to those who are literally homeless to ultimately move into permanent housing and achieve housing stability. Homeless prevention and rapid re-housing assistance must be provided in accordance with the housing relocation and stabilization services requirements in 24 CFR 576.105, and the short-and medium-term rental assistance requirements in 24 CFR 576.106. The amount each program participant must pay will be based on the following: ▪ Rental assistance cannot be provided for a unit unless the rent for that unit is at or below the Payment Standard, established by the City using HUD’s published Fair Market Rents for the San Diego Region. A complete listing of the Fair Market Rent for San Diego can be found at the following website: http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/fmr.html ▪ The rent charged for a unit must be reasonable in relation to rents currently being charged for comparable units in the private unassisted market and must not be in excess of rents currently being charged by the owner for comparable unassisted units.

The rental assistance agreement must set forth the terms under which rental assistance will be provided, including the requirements that apply under this section. The rental assistance agreement must provide that, during the term of the agreement, the owner must give the sub-recipient a copy of any notice to the program participant to vacate the housing unit, or any complaint used under state or local law to commence an eviction action against the program participant. In the event of project based assistance, the payments would go directly to the property owner with a rental assistance agreement in place. The City and its subrecipients must maintain standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance will be adjusted over time. Currently, the period is up to 12 months. 13. Homelessness prevention and Rapid re-housing component. 24 CFR 576.103 and 24 CFR Part 576.104.

ESG sub-recipients shall determine the type, maximum amount, and duration of housing stabilization and/or relocation services for individuals and families who are in need of homeless prevention or rapid re-housing assistance through the initial evaluation, re-evaluation and ongoing case management processes. C. EMERGENCY SHELTER The term Emergency Shelter per 24 CFR Part 576.2 means “any facility, the primary purpose of which is to provide a temporary shelter for the homeless in general or for specific populations of the homeless and which does not require occupants to sign leases or occupancy agreements.” This definition excludes transitional housing. 1. Admission, Diversion, Referral and Discharge. ESG sub-recipients must conduct an initial evaluation of all individuals or families to determine if they should be admitted to an emergency shelter, diverted to a provider of other ESG funded components (e.g. rapid re-housing or homeless prevention assistance) and/or referred for other mainstream resources. ESG sub-recipients must determine that individuals and families meet criteria including the Homeless definition and rate the individual or family’s vulnerability to ensure that only those individuals or families that have the greatest need for emergency shelter assistance receive ESG funded assistance. ESG sub-recipients must also reassess emergency shelter participants, on an ongoing basis, to determine the earliest possible time that they can be discharged to permanent housing. 2. Safety and Shelter Needs of Special Populations. ESG funds may be used to provide services for homeless youth, victim services, and services for people living with HIV/AIDS, so long as the costs of providing these services are eligible under the regulations for the emergency shelter component found at 24 CFR Part 576.102. Consistent with ESG recordkeeping and reporting requirements found at 24 CFR Part 576.500, ESG sub-recipients must develop and apply written policies to ensure the safety of program participants through the following actions: ▪ All records containing personally identifying information (as defined in HUD’s standards for participation, data collection, and reporting in a local HMIS) of any individual or family who applies for and/or receives ESG assistance will be kept secure and confidential. ▪ The address or location of any domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking shelter project assisted under the ESG will not be made public, except with written authorization of the person responsible for the operation of the shelter. ▪ The address or location of any housing of a program participant, including youth, individuals Page 257 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 8 living with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; and individuals and families who have the highest barriers to housing will not be made public, except as provided under a preexisting privacy policy of the sub-recipient and consistent with state and local laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality. ▪ ESG sub-recipients must adhere to the following ESG shelter and housing standards found at 24 CFR Part 576.403 to ensure that shelter and housing facilities are safe, sanitary, and adequately maintained: 3.

Essential services for participants of emergency shelter assistance can include case management, child care, education services, employment assistance and job training, outpatient health services, legal services, life skills training, mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, transportation, and services for special populations. ▪ ESG sub-recipients are responsible to assess an individual or family’s initial need for emergency shelter and must re-assess their need on an ongoing basis to ensure that only those individual or families with the greatest need receive ESG funded emergency shelter assistance. ▪ Based on the CoC’s centralized or coordinated assessment system, ESG recipients shall be required to use that system to help determine an individual or family’s need for emergency shelter or other ESG funded assistance. ▪ CoC’s Policies and Procedures is encouraged for coordination among emergency shelter providers, essential service providers, homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing assistance providers, other homeless assistance providers, and mainstream services and housing providers. ▪ Coordination to assist the homeless and prevent homelessness will come from the leadership of the statewide Continuum of Care. The City will maintain active engagement and membership in the statewide CoC or local homeless coalition. The CoC will further engage and coordinate resources amongst other entities to improve current programs and funding. D. STREET OUTREACH Per 24 CFR 576.401 and 24 CFR 576.500 the City and ESG sub-recipients must conduct an initial evaluation to determine each individual or family's eligibility for street outreach essential services. These evaluations must be conducted in accordance with the centralized or coordinated assessment requirements set forth under §24 CFR 576.400(d). Street outreach costs are limited to the costs of: providing essential services necessary to reach out to unsheltered homeless people; connecting unsheltered homeless people with emergency shelter, housing, or critical services; and providing urgent, non-facility-based care to unsheltered homeless people who are unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter, housing, or an appropriate health facility 24 CFR 576.101(a). 1.

The unit of general purpose local government has taken all reasonable steps to prevent a reduction in funding of services for homeless people. Reasonable steps may include steps to increase revenue generation, steps to maximize cost savings, or steps to reduce expenditures in areas other than services for homeless people. IV. PROGRAMATTIC REQUIREMENTS A. Matching Requirement §576.201 Contractor must make matching contributions to supplement the ESG program funding received under this Agreement. Matching contributions may be obtained from any source, including any Federal source other than the ESG program, as well as state, local and private sources. However, the following requirements apply to matching contributions from a Federal source of funds: o The recipient must ensure the laws governing any funds to be used as matching contributions do not prohibit those funds from being used to match Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. o If ESG funds are used to satisfy the matching requirements of another Federal program, then funding from that program may not be used to satisfy the matching requirements under this section. Recognition of matching contributions. (1) In order to meet the matching requirement, the matching contributions must meet all requirements that apply to the ESG funds provided by HUD, except for the expenditure limits in § 576.100. (2) The matching contributions must be provided after the date that HUD signs the grant agreement. (3) To count toward the required match for the recipient's fiscal year grant, cash contributions must be expended within the expenditure deadline in § 576.203, and noncash contributions must be made within the expenditure deadline in § 576.203. (4) Contributions used to match a previous ESG grant may not be used to match a subsequent ESG grant. (5) Contributions that have been or will be counted as satisfying a matching requirement of another Federal grant or award may not count as satisfying the matching requirement of this section. Eligible types of matching contributions. The matching requirement may be met by one or both of the following: (1) Cash contributions. Cash expended for allowable costs, as defined in OMB Circulars A-87 (2 CFR part 225) and A-122 (2 CFR part 230), of the recipient or Contractor. (2) Noncash contributions. The value of any real property, equipment, goods, or services contributed to the recipient's or Contractor's ESG program, provided that if the recipient or Contractor had to pay for them with grant funds, the costs would have been allowable. Noncash contributions may also include the purchase value of any donated building. (3) Calculating the amount of noncash contributions. Page 262 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 13 i. To determine the value of any donated material or building, or of any lease, the recipient must use a method reasonably calculated to establish the fair market value. ii. Services provided by individuals must be valued at rates consistent with those ordinarily paid for similar work in the recipient's or Contractor's organization. If the recipient or Contractor does not have employees performing similar work, the rates must be consistent with those ordinarily paid by other employers for similar work in the same labor market. iii. Some noncash contributions are real property, equipment, goods, or services that, if the recipient or Contractor had to pay for them with grant funds, the payments would have been indirect costs. Matching credit for these contributions must be given only if the recipient or Contractor has established, along with its regular indirect cost rate, a special rate for allocating to individual projects or programs the value of those contributions. B. Documentation of Homelessness Maintain adequate documentation of homelessness status to determine the eligibility of persons served by HUD’s homeless assistance programs. The documentation shall be obtained by the participant or a third party at the time of the referral, entry, intake, or orientation to the ESG-funded project. Contractor shall maintain and follow written intake procedures to ensure compliance with the homeless definition in §576.2. A copy of the documentation shall be maintained in the client file. C. Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Activities funded under this Agreement must comply with HUD’s standards on participation, data collection, and reporting under a local HMIS. D. Regulation Compliance for Projects with Multiple Funding Sources The City will take all necessary measures to ensure compliance with multiple regulation standards for projects with multiple funding sources. City staff will fully review the regulations of each funding source and work with the City Attorney’s Office to certify that all regulatory standards are reflected in all subcontractor agreements and reporting requirements. All project contracts will be reviewed to ensure the necessary program requirements for all funding sources are being adhered to. In addition, the City will maintain a folder for the project containing the following compliance documentation: • A chart of accounts detailing different funding sources, grant identification numbers, and funding amounts from each source. • All grant agreements from awarding agencies of the funding sources. • All subcontractor or subrecipient agreements. • A list of reporting deadlines filtered by each funding source. • The City’s policies, procedures, standards, and manuals pertaining to each of the relevant funding source types. • A completed version of the city’s Checklist for Federally funded Purchases to ensure requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.317 - 200.327 have been properly considered. Page 263 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 14 ESG-CV Written Standards – Addendum A. Waivers and Limitations Under ESG-CV Regulations As part of the ESG-CV Notice released on September 1, 2020, HUD is allowing CoCs and jurisdictions to incorporate waivers into the operation of eligible activities funded by ESG-CV resources, as well as standard FY 2020 ESG funds dedicated to COVID-19. As part of the development of the ESG-CV Written Standards, this addendum cites and incorporates each waiver and alternative requirements that Chula Vista intends to execute. 1. Emergency Shelters – This addendum specifically refers to funds used for the costs of providing emergency shelter during the period the subrecipient began preventing, preparing for, and responding to coronavirus and has been extended to end on January 31, 2022. This alternative requirement will ensure that ESG-CV funds are used efficiently to provide more individuals and families with assistance needed to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. 2. Short-Term and Medium-Term Rental Assistance – Medium-rent previously defined as “for more than 3 months but not more than 24 months of rent” is waived and an alternative requirement established defining medium-term as more than 3 months but not more than 12 months. This alternative requirement allows more households to receive rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention assistance, which is necessary to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. The requirement prohibiting rental assistance where the rent for the unit exceeds the Fair Market Rent established by HUD, is waived; so long as the rent complies with HUD’s standards of rent reasonableness. Waiving this requirement allows recipients to help program participants move quickly into housing or retain their existing housing, which is especially critical at reducing the spread of coronavirus and responding to coronavirus. 3. Administrative Costs - As permitted by the CARES Act, the CoC will use up to 10 percent of its total ESG-CV grant for administrative costs. 4. No Cap for Emergency Shelter and Street Outreach - Funds will be used for emergency shelter and street outreach activities without regard to the spending cap established by section 415(b) of the McKinney-Vento Act and 24 CFR Part 576.100(b). The same flexibility applies to using ESG-CV funds to establish and operate temporary emergency shelters. 5. Hotel/Motel Costs -Provide hotel or motel vouchers for homeless individuals and families where no appropriate emergency shelter is available. However, the limitations on eligible activities provided in section 415(a) of the McKinney Vento Act and 24 CFR part 576, subpart B are waived and ESG-CV funds may be used for the following hotel or motel costs for individuals and families experiencing homelessness who are: o Receiving rapid re-housing assistance under the Continuum of Care (CoC) or ESG programs o Receiving homelessness 15 prevention under the ESG program o Residing in permanent supportive housing Chula will also use ESG-CV funds to pay for a hotel or hotel room directly or through a hotel or motel voucher and may include paying for Helping current ESG program participants maintain housing - The requirement at 24 CFR 576.105(c) limiting the total period of time for which any program participant may receive the services under Page 264 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 15 paragraph (b) to 24 months during any 3-year period is waived. Likewise, the requirement at 24 CFR 576.106(a) limiting the total number of months a program participant can receive rental assistance to 24 months in a 3-year period is waived. Both exceptions will be made solely for those program participants who reach their 24-month maximum assistance. 7. HMIS Lead Activities - The limitations on eligible activities provided in section 415(a) of the McKinney-Vento Act and 24 CFR Part 576, subpart B are waived and ESG-CV funds will be used to pay for HMIS costs beyond where they are related to collecting data to the extent they are necessary to help the geographic area prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Additionally, the 6- month limit on the waiver is lifted, to allow flexibility throughout the period the recipient or subrecipient uses ESG-CV funds. These funds may be used on ESG activities to collect and report data about the impact of coronavirus across the community to help us to coordinate and report on activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus among individuals and families experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, and receiving homeless assistance. 8. Legal Services – ESG-CV funds may be used to provide legal services, but are limited to those services necessary to help program participants obtain housing or keep a program participant from losing housing where they currently reside. Standards for Targeting and Providing Essential Services Related to Street Outreach People experiencing unsheltered homelessness may be at risk for infection when there is community spread of COVID-19. CDC interim guidance will be used to support response to COVID-19 by the Chula Vista Homeless Outreach Team. Street outreach will include outreach teams actively communicating with Coordinated Entry, shelters, and other appropriate housing and service programs within the City to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with needed resources. Staff is trained on the following mitigation techniques: o How to prevent disease spread (handwashing, cough etiquette, not sharing needles, etc.). o How to access treatment and available resources (vaccine clinics, where to go for more information). o How to communicate incidents of outbreak. o Understand their role within larger response system o How to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases. o Outreach Staff will participate in the following education and abide by the following standards 1. Staff training and policies a. Provide training and educational materials related to COVID-19 for staff. b. Minimize the number of staff members who have face-to-face interactions with clients. c. Develop and use contingency plans for increased absenteeism caused by employee illness or by illness in employees’ family members. These plans might include extending hours, cross-training current employees, or hiring temporary employees. d. Assign outreach staff who are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 to duties that do not require them to interact with clients in person. e. Outreach staff will review stress and coping for themselves and their clients during this time. Page 265 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 16 2. Staff prevention measures a. Outreach staff will maintain good hand hygiene by washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol) on a regular basis, including before and after each client interaction b. Staff will, whenever possible, maintain 6 feet of distance while interacting with clients and other staff. c. Outreach staff will wear masks when working in public settings or interacting with clients. d. Outreach staff will avoid handling client belongings. If staff are handling client belongings, they will use disposable gloves, if available. If gloves are unavailable, staff will perform hand hygiene immediately after handling client belongings. e. Outreach staff who do not interact closely (e.g., within 6 feet) with sick clients and do not clean client environments do not need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). 3. Staff process for outreach a. Outreach staff will greet clients from a distance of 6 feet and explain that they are taking additional precautions to protect themselves and the client from COVID19. b. If the client is not wearing a mask, when possible staff will provide them with one. c. Staff may screen clients for symptoms by asking them if they feel as if they have a fever, cough, or other symptoms consistent with COVID-19. d. If medical attention is necessary, staff will use standard outreach protocols to facilitate access to healthcare. e. If at any point staff does not feel able to protect themselves or the client from the spread of COVID-19, (i.e., client refusing to wear a mask and/or maintain at least 6 feet of distance) staff will discontinue the interaction and notify their supervisor. 4. Help clients prevent becoming sick with COVID-19 a. Continued linkage to homeless services, housing, and mental health services by using cell phone or telemedicine when possible. b. Staff will reach out to people who are experiencing homelessness, paying particular attention to older age or with underlying medical conditions, such as chronic lung disease or serious heart conditions, as they are at greater risk with COVID-19. c. Staff will prioritize and providing individual rooms for positive COVID-19 clients, where available. d. Outreach staff will recommend that all clients wear masks any time they are around other people. e. Outreach staff will provide clients with hygiene materials, where available. f. Staff will discourage clients from spending time in crowded places or gathering in large groups. g. If it is not possible for clients and staff to avoid crowded places, staff will encourage spreading out (at least6 feet between people) to the extent possible and wearing masks. Page 266 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 17 5. Help link sick clients to medical care a. The City of Chula Vista will use ESG-CV resources to make sure clients who test positive for COVID-19 will have a place they can safely stay in coordination with local health authorities. b. Outreach staff will provide anyone who presents with symptoms with a mask. c. Staff will facilitate access to non-urgent medical care as needed. d. If a client has tested positive for COVID-19 e. If immediate medical attention is not required, outreach will facilitate transportation to an isolation site. f. Notify designated medical facility and personnel that the client has tested positive for COVID- 19. g. Staff will advise clients on how to isolate themselves while efforts are underway to provide additional support. h. During isolation, Chula Vista outreach staff will ensure continuation of behavioral health support for people with substance use or mental health disorders. i. An individual may not be able to comply with isolation recommendations (i.e., mental illness, etc.) staff will contact local health authorities to determine alternative options. j. ESG-CV resources will ensure the client has a safe location to satisfy isolation requirements are met. k. Considerations for encampments l. If individual housing options are not available, we will allow people who are living unsheltered or in encampments to remain where they are. m. Clearing encampments can cause people to disperse throughout the community and break connections with service providers. n. This increases the potential for infectious disease spread. o. Staff will encourage those staying in encampments to set up their tents/sleeping quarters with at least 12 feet x 12 feet of space per individual. p. If an encampment is not able to provide sufficient space for each person, staff will allow people to remain where they are but help decompress the encampment by linking those at increased risk for severe illness to individual rooms or safe shelter. q. ESG-CV funds may be utilized to improve sanitary conditions at certain locations (i.e., portable toilets, hand washing stations, hand sanitizer). 6. Temporary Emergency Shelter Standards During COVID-19 All service providers are required to implement safety precautions to limit the exposure and infection of the COVID-19 virus. This is especially true for people with a high degree of vulnerability. The following recommendations were shared with shelter providers who are responsible for implementing the recommendations to the best of their ability. a. Facility layout considerations a. Use physical barriers to protect staff who interact with clients with unknown infection status (e.g., check-in staff). For example, install a sneeze guard at the check-in desk or place an additional table between staff and clients to increase the distance between them to at least 6 feet. b. In meal service areas, create at least 6 feet of space between seats, and/or allow either for food to be delivered to clients or for clients to take food away.

In general sleeping areas (for those who are not experiencing respiratory symptoms), try to make sure client’s faces are at least 6 feet apart. i. Align mats/beds so clients sleep head-to-toe. 2. For clients with mild respiratory symptoms consistent with COVID-19: a. Prioritize these clients for individual rooms. b. If individual rooms are not available, consider using a large, well-ventilated room. c. Keep mats/beds at least 6 feet apart. d. Use temporary barriers between mats/beds, such as curtains. e. Align mats/beds so clients sleep head-to-toe. f. If possible, designate a separate bathroom for these clients. g. If areas where these clients can stay are not available in the facility, facilitate transfer to a quarantine site. 3. For clients with confirmed COVID-19, regardless of symptoms: a. Prioritize these clients for individual rooms. b. If more than one person has tested positive, these clients can stay in the same area. c. Designate a separate bathroom for these clients. d. Follow CDC recommendations for how to prevent further spread in your facility. e. If areas where these clients can stay are not available in the facility, assist with transfer to an isolation site. 4. Facility ventilation considerations a. Ensure ventilation systems operate properly and per established local/national codes. Increase the indoor delivery of outdoor air as much as possible. Do not open windows and doors if doing so poses a safety or health risk (e.g., risk of falling, triggering asthma symptoms) to clients, staff, volunteers, or visitors using the facility. b. Consider taking steps to improve ventilation in the building, in consultation with an HVAC professional, based on local environmental conditions (temperature/humidity) and ongoing community transmission in the area. Identifying the best steps for your specific facility will depend on a number of factors including but not limited to layout, number of occupants, environmental factors, and available resources. D. Additional Standards for Rental Assistance The full extent of COVID-19’s economic impact on Chula Vista’s economy has yet to be determined. However, initial indicators suggest a significant economic hardship on Chula Vista residents in the form of lost employment with subsequent declines in both income and health benefits. ESG-CV funds will continue to provide assistance to individuals experiencing the economic impact Page 268 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda ESG Standards – Covid Addendum Page 19 from COVID by providing rental and/or utility assistance for a maximum of 12-month period. A “Housing Exit Plan” is developed between the client and caseworker where the client’s progress and income is regularly reviewed. If need, and the client has been compliant with the plan, assistance will be extended an additional 3 months (the maximum amount of assistants and individual is eligible to receive is 12 months of rental assistance, plus any move-in and utility expenses. Utility Allowance - §92.252(d) requires grantees to determine an individual utility allowance for each assisted household. The utility allowance for our jurisdiction is determine through PHA standards and in compliance with 92.252(d). Initial rent schedule and utility allowances. (1) The maximum monthly allowances for utilities and services (excluding telephone) must be established and updated the annually. Chula Vista uses the HUD Utility Schedule Model to determine the utility allowance for the unit based on the type of utilities used at the assisted unit. (2) Rents proposed by the owner for units are reviewed and approved, subject to the maximum rent limitations in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section. For all units subject to the maximum rent limitations in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section for which the tenant is paying utilities and services, the participating jurisdiction must ensure that the rents do not exceed the maximum rent minus the monthly allowances for utilities and service. Landlord Incentives – One of the most significant barriers to individuals experiencing homelessness is affordable housing availability. Landlord subsidies will be awarded in 3-month increments and end after 12 months. Disease Risk and Homelessness – Chula Vista will ensure that mitigation practices are effectively implemented by collaborating with public health officials in disseminating information and resources to those experiencing homelessness. Chula Vista, whenever possible, move affected clients to locations where they are not at risk of spreading the infection further. The response to Covid-19 consists of partnership and close communication with emergency services providers (e.g., County of San Diego Health and Human Services). In addition, Chula Vista outreach assists homeless service providers to assess gaps in their ability to respond and help ensure they receive the resources and supplies needed to combat the crisis. Chula Vista’s leadership will provide support to public health officials by facilitating communication of providers’ needs to public health officials. A critical component to infectious disease prevention is ensuring that shelters and housing programs have the necessary supplies in stock to maintain a disease-free environment. Chula Vista will help providers who may need assistance in identifying funding sources for obtaining supplies.

CDBG funds are distributed to states, counties and urban cities to fulfill the goals of the programs: • Provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing • Provide a suitable living environment, and to • Expand economic opportunities principally for low and moderate-income persons. Basic requirements for a local CDBG program are set forth in CDBG Program Regulations 24 CFR 570. http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/communitydevelopment/library/24cfrpart570mod.pdf. The City’s community needs, resources, priorities and procedures for managing the CDBG program have been approved by the City Council as part of the City’s 2010-2015 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. In addition, each year the City Council approves the current year’s Action Plan which includes objectives and outcomes identified in the plan, an evaluation of past performance and activities to be undertaken in the next year. Although both the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan describe the performance standards and procedures City staff will use to evaluate and monitor activities and ensure compliance with HUD requirements, it is necessary to outline and document all programmatic policies and procedures. 24 CFR 570.501(b) states that “The recipient of HUD funds is responsible for ensuring that CDBG funds are used in accordance with all program requirements. The use of designated public agencies, subrecipients, or contractors does not relieve the recipient of this responsibility.” A city’s CDBG Program guidelines must fully describe program requirements through a policy and procedures manual that guides city employees, agencies, contractors and subrecipients on how to use and account for HUD funds. While the City’s policy and procedures for allocating, managing and reporting on CDBG funds have been in compliance with federal regulations and applicable City policy and practice, this document is intended to satisfy the requirement for a concise policy and procedures administrative manual. This manual will be reviewed and, if required, revised annually. It can be revised to meet changes in federal regulations, actions of the City Council or to meet administrative needs upon approval of the Development Services Director. The Administrative Manual document will be added as an appendix to the Amended 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Copies will be made available to the public upon request, to all current and future CDBG subrecipients and it will be posted on the Development Services Housing webpage. II. INTRODUCTION Page 274 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 2 In addition to this manual, the City of Chula Vista maintains Policies and Procedures for the following programs implemented through the CDBG and HOME programs: 1. Community Housing Investment Program (CHIP); 2. First Time Homebuyer Program; 3. Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program; and 4. Other related programs. The mission of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is “to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality, affordable homes for all.” HUD’s vision is “To improve lives and strengthen communities to deliver on America's dreams.” HUD’s five- year (2022- 2026) Strategic Plan with goals and outcome measures can be read at: FY2022-2026 HUD Strategic Plan Agency Priority Goals (APGs) reflect the Department’s key priorities for the next two years. Through public goal setting, quarterly leadership discussions, and regular public updates, agencies have made significant progress to advance the selected mission outcomes of APGs. For FY 2022-2023, HUD will track progress on these APGs: • By September 30, 2023, make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring by reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness by 15% from 2020 levels. • By September 30, 2023, maximize the reach of HUD’s rental assistance programs by increasing the occupancy rates to 96% in the Public and Multifamily Housing programs and the budget utilization rate to 100% in the Housing Choice Voucher program. • HUD will maximize homeownership for creditworthy first-time homebuyers and preserve homeownership for existing homeowners. By September 30, 2023, HUD will maintain a first- time homebuyer rate of at least 80% for newly endorsed FHA-insured purchase mortgages and a re-default rate for seriously delinquent homeowners who received a loss mitigation action that is below 30%. • By September 30, 2023, protect families from lead-based paint and other health hazards by making an additional 20,000 units of at-risk housing units healthy and lead-safe. The Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development seeks to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. These goals come out of the mission of HUD to “create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality, affordable homes for all.” The primary means towards this end is the development of partnerships between all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations. III. BACKGROUND A. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT B. OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Page 275 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 3 Consistent with these objectives, the Office of Community Planning and Development has developed a set of underlying principles that are used in carrying out its mission.  Community building begins with job creation, employment, and creation of safe, decent and affordable housing.  Planning and execution of community development initiatives must be bottom-up and community driven.  Complex problems require coordinated, comprehensive, and sustainable solutions.  Government must be streamlined to be made more efficient and effective.  Citizen participation in Federal, State and local government can be increased through communication and better access to information.  CPD seeks to encourage empowerment of local residents by helping to give them a voice in the future of their neighborhoods; stimulate the creation of community-based organizations; and enhance the management skills of existing organizations so they can achieve greater production capacity. Housing and community development are not viewed as separate programs, but rather as among the myriad elements that make up a comprehensive vision of community development. These groups are at the heart of a bottom-up housing and community development strategy. The City of Chula Vista receives funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in three grants: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). Chula Vista is an entitlement community under the HUD programs. This means that HUD funds are allocated to the City every year using a formula based on population, income levels, and other factors. The total level of funding is determined by how much Congress appropriates for the entire nation. The City of Chula Vista Development Services Department and the U.S. Department of Housing Development have common principles, goals and objectives as highlighted in the mission statement below and further detailed in its Consolidated Plan and Action Plans, respectively. C. CITY OF CHULA VISTA – ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY Page 276 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 4 The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program supports public services and improvements that benefit low- and moderate-income individuals, families and neighborhoods. Federal regulations governing the CDBG program are in Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 570. Pursuant to 24CFR 570, the City may allocate up to twenty percent (20%) of the CDBG entitlement amount to administration and planning activities and fifteen (15%) to public service programs. 1. Administration: Funds programmed under Administration and Planning funds cover all costs associated with the management and administration of Chula Vista's CDBG program. 2. Public Services Program: Public Service dollars are used to fund activities which include employment services, childcare , health services, substance abuse services, welfare and recreation needs. 3. Capital Improvement and Community Development: Projects under this category include acquisition, construction or installation of eligible public facilities improvements (except for buildings for the general conduct of government) and other public improvements including streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, parks, playgrounds, water/sewer lines and flood/drainage improvements. This category also includes debt service payments for Section 108 loans. HOME is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, as amended. Program regulations are at 24 CFR Part 92 (http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/lawsregs/rules/finalrule.pdf). HOME is the largest Federal block grant to State and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. Pursuant to 24 CFR 92, the City may allocate up to ten percent (10%) to administration/planning activities. The remainder is used to create affordable housing opportunities in the form of first-time homebuyer assistance, rental assistance, rehabilitation assistance and production of affordable housing units. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program is authorized by subtitle B of title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 113711378). The program authorizes the IV. CITY OF CHULA VISTA ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT B. HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS ACT (HOME) C. EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT Page 277 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 5 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make grants to States, units of government and territories for rehabilitation or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelter for the homeless, for the payment of certain expenses related to operating emergency shelters, for essential services related to emergency shelters and street outreach for the homeless and for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing assistance. In May 2009, President Obama signed the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009. The HEARTH Act amends and reauthorizes the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act with substantial changes, including:  A consolidation of HUD’s competitive grant programs;  A change in HUD’s definition of homelessness and chronic homelessness;  An increase in prevention resources,  An increase in the emphasis on performance, and  Participation in Coordinated Entry; and  Have each client complete a VISDAT and enter the data into HMIS. ESG-CV In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Office of Community Development approves the following policy and procedure adjustments for Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) COVID-19 CARES Act funding until further notice or as indicated below. Note that these adjustments apply only to ESG-CV funding which must be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. These adjustments will be subject to further change as Federal COVID guidance develops. Effective Date: Expenditures beginning June 29, 2020, until September 30, 2023. Section I explains US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) coronavirus related regulation requirement changes to the ESG program through notices and memorandums. These modifications are to be used with ESG CV-19 funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. Section II refers to additional guidance for written standards from HUD technical staff. These standards are to be used laterally with the Office of Community Development’s regular ESG Operations Manual. Section III is a listing of HUD COVID-19 reference materials and resources. Recipients and Subrecipients may use ESG-CV funds for program components: Administration, Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter Operations, Homeless Prevention, Rapid Re-housing Assistance. All regular ESG program components and the eligible activities that may be funded under each are set forth in 24 CFR 576.101 through 576.107. All regular ESG eligible activity costs can be applied to ESG CV funds. Below lists additional eligible ESG CV activity expenditures. Page 278 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 6 Temporary Emergency Shelters Temporary emergency shelters funded with ESG-CV funding used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 must comply with non-discrimination and applicable accessibility requirements. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act prohibits providers from requiring program participants to receive treatment or perform any other prerequisite activities as a condition of receiving shelter or other services. Emergency shelters and temporary emergency shelters funded with ESG or ESG-CV cannot prohibit program participants from leaving. Re-entry may be limited based on infection control and safety measures; however, prerequisites - such as submitting to coronavirus testing - are not permitted. Although, screening for symptoms is permitted. The habitability requirements at 24 CFR 576.403(b) do not apply to temporary emergency shelters that have been determined by State or local health officials to be necessary to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Lead-based paint requirements must still be met. In general, a temporary emergency shelter must be able to meet a person’s basic needs, including: • Protection from inclement weather that provides cover on all sides and overhead • Access to sanitary facilities for hygiene and toileting • Space to sleep and rest, which includes sleeping accommodations (e.g., mat, cot, bed, etc.) for structures that provide overnight shelter • Adequate ventilation to prevent stagnant air problems. Acceptable temporary emergency shelter facilities: • Temporarily repurposed public spaces such as municipal service buildings, libraries, and recreation centers • Community-based private spaces, such as faith-based sanctuaries or basements • Hotels and motels COVID-19 temporary/emergency shelter eligible program participant costs can include: • Cleaning supplies – bleach, disinfectant wipes, scrubbers, mops, bed linens, towels, hand sanitizer, soap, tissue packets • Protective equipment – masks, disposable gloves • Furnishings – cots, room dividers • Other equipment – washers, dryers, portable handwashing stations • Transportation – train or bus tokens, taxi or rideshare for program participant travel to and from medical care, childcare facilities, other shelter locations, employment. Street Outreach As provided by the CARES Act, the cap established for street outreach activities does not apply to ESG CV funds. Funds must be used to prevent, prepare for, and to respond to the Page 279 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 7 coronavirus among people experiencing homelessness. Added eligible ESG CV costs to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus are: • Engagement – Urgent physical needs addressed • PPE equipment – Hand sanitizer, soap, tissue packets, masks, handwashing stations, portable bathrooms • PPE for street engagement staff – masks, hand sanitizer, gloves • Case management – Referrals to shelter/housing options • Coordinating medical care – train or bus tokens, taxi or rideshare for program participant travel to and from medical care • Expanded Staffing – hiring additional staff to support infectious disease preparedness. Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Short-term and medium-term rental assistance is defined as “for more than 3 months but not more than 24 months of rent” has been waived through CPD Notice 20-08. An alternative requirement has been established where medium-term is for more than 3 months but not more than 12 months. The alternate requirement allows for more households to receive RRH and HP assistance. The requirement that prohibits rental assistance where rent for the unit exceeds the Fair Market Rent is waived provided the rent complies with established Rent Reasonableness. Waiving this requirement allows agencies to move program recipients into housing more quickly. ESG CV funds can be used to provide rental assistance whose rent exceeds FMR throughout the period to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus. In order to ensure current program participants receiving HP and RRH assistance do not lose their housing during the pandemic, the total period of time for which a participant may receive services has been revised to: 1. The requirement at 24 CFR 576.105(c) limiting the total period of time for which any program participant may receive the services under paragraph (b) to 24 months during any 3-year period is waived solely for those program participants who reach their 24- month maximum assistance during the period beginning on the presumed start of this crisis, January 21, 2020 – the date the first confirmed case was reported in the United States, and ending 6 months from the date of publication of this Notice, provided that the services are only extended for these program participants for up to a maximum of an additional 6 months; and 2. The requirement at 24 CFR 576.106(a) limiting the total number of months a program participant can receive rental assistance to 24 months in a 3-year period is waived solely for those program participants who reach their 24-month maximum during the period beginning on the presumed start of this crisis, January 21, 2020 – the date the first Page 280 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 8 confirmed case was reported in the United States, and ending 6 months from the date of publication of this Notice, provided that the rental assistance is only extended for these program participants for up to a maximum of an additional 6 months. Written Standards Commonly Requiring Updates for Coronavirus Response Written Standards were prepared by HUD technical assistance providers and intended only to provide guidance. This section is intended to provide clarity to the agencies regarding suggested written standards. 1. Coordinated entry systems (CES) may consider modifying and expediting the assessment, scoring, and eligibility determinations to prioritize those at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19 for shelter and housing. Coordinated entry modifications must be consistent with fair housing and nondiscrimination requirements. In collaboration with the local Public Healthcare, agencies should streamline and update questions in the Coordinated Entry Assessment System to include COVID-19 vulnerabilities for people experiencing homelessness. This assessment should be used for shelter congregate or non- congregate placement assessment as well as housing placement during the pandemic. During COVID-19, HUD supports communities with changes to assessments or prioritizations that include COVID-19 vulnerabilities such as age, specific health conditions, and/or medical frailty when considering shelter/housing options. It is important to prioritize these vulnerabilities to prevent the spread of coronavirus among those who are homeless and to respond to those people already impacted by the pandemic. 2. Emergency shelters are a vital, life-saving resource that play a key role in communities’ COVID-19 responses. Agencies must establish basic policies ensuring that shelters maintain operations and remain accessible to people experiencing homelessness who are particularly vulnerable to adverse health outcomes related to COVID-19 infection. Shelters funded by ESG-CV may not turn away eligible program participants and should establish referral pathways to other shelters or housing if the shelter is at maximum capacity. Shelters must establish referral pathways to isolation and quarantine if a client is in need of such services. Providing transportation to alternative shelter sites is an eligible cost. Someone who presents at an ESG-CV funded shelter with respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough) should not be turned away solely because of their health symptoms. Transportation to health care, health care assessment, and/or isolation protocols for suspected COVID cases should be established. Shelters funded by ESG-CV are strongly discouraged from implementing a maximum Page 281 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 9 length of stay when a discharge will result in program participants returning to unsheltered settings or situations putting them at a higher risk of COVID-19 infection. Any ESG-funded shelter that is considering closing or not accepting new residents must immediately notify the local CoC, public health authority, and emergency management officials. It is noted that the Temporary Emergency Shelters are due to close March 2021. 3. Expanded Definition of ESG-CV-Eligible Shelter Funds - ESG-CV allows for a variety of spaces to be used as Temporary Emergency Shelters. If the recipient funds new and different kinds of shelter, that should be explained. The purpose of ESG-CV funds is to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 in order to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among people experiencing homelessness and the staff that provide services to these individuals. This requires that existing shelters implement public health protocols such as: • enforcing social distancing, • establishing an isolation space (especially for residents suspected of having COVID- 19, those with confirmed cases, and high-risk residents such as elderly people and people with pre-existing health conditions), • using personal protective equipment (PPE), • and cleaning/disinfecting shared and living spaces. In county areas where existing shelter is not available or where current shelters are not able to implement these safety protocols, additional space may need to be identified to allow people to have shelter while staying as healthy as possible. This may be space within an existing shelter (e.g., an office not being used) that could be temporarily converted into a quarantine space for someone who has tested positive or is awaiting test results, or it could be an entirely separate building, or hotel rooms. Eligible shelter spaces may include public spaces, pop up or modular structures in compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidance. 4. It is important to coordinate with public health partners to establish specific procedures to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. If compliance with public health guidance is different for victims of domestic violence or other protected populations, document these alternative procedures. Shelters will utilize symptom screening as a part of intake procedures, that have been reviewed and approved by a local public health partner. Daily screenings for staff and guests are required to occur on a regular basis. It is recommended that as guests and staff enter a shelter, face masks are to be provided and worn. Hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer should be encouraged as well. Shelters funded by ESG-CV must establish referral pathways to isolation and quarantine Page 282 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 10 if a guest is in need of such services. Shelter staff are required to follow all policies and procedures set out by County of San Diego Public Health, the California Governor’s Executive Orders and guidance as well as Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ESG CV- 19 guidance. Shelters funded through ESG-CV will maintain social distancing requirements established in partnership with the County or State’s Department of Public Health. The number of guests and bed spacing must comply with COVID prevention guidance. Other suggested prevention methods (but not only) are: • Use physical barriers to protect staff who will have interactions with clients with unknown infection status (e.g., check-in staff). For example, install a sneeze guard at the check-in desk or place an additional table between staff and clients to increase the distance between them to at least 6 feet. • In meal service areas, create at least 6 feet of space between seats, and/or allow either for food to be delivered to clients or for clients to take food away. • In general sleeping areas (for those who are not experiencing respiratory symptoms), try to make sure client’s faces are at least 6 feet apart. • Align mats/beds so clients sleep head-to-toe. Shelter staff will flag a domestic violence request to safeguard that the guest is not placed in the same shelter location as the ex-partner/abuser. Staff will also refer guests to domestic violence resources throughout the community. 5. Any procedures for providing street outreach that have been updated or modified locally to address coronavirus safety measures should be documented to ensure that they are followed. Any health-related changes should be developed in coordination with public health partners and align with ESG CV-19 guidance. Street outreach staff must follow all CDC safety guidelines to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. These include keeping hands washed, using a hand sanitizer, wearing a mask, and maintaining at least 6 feet when interacting with persons. A sample of HUDs approved alternative street outreach activities could include: • Distribution of masks or other PPE, if available, to people who are unsheltered. • Provision of handwashing stations and portable bathrooms. • Provide information on coronavirus prevention and symptoms. 6. Sub-recipients’ policies and procedures for coordination among emergency shelter providers, essential services providers, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing (RRH) assistance providers; other homeless assistance providers; and mainstream service and housing providers should be coordinated and integrated to the maximum Page 283 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 11 extent practicable. Agencies are to have open lines of communication and make a coordinated effort to work together. Street outreach staff should work with shelter staff to help facilitate getting folks into shelter care. Shelter staff and housing advocates should coordinate efforts to move shelter guests into permanent housing. 7. Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families/individuals will receive Homelessness Prevention (HP)assistance and which eligible families/individuals will receive Rapid Re-housing (RRH) assistance should be established. Agencies should consider updating prioritization policies to house people at severe risk of contracting COVID-19. Targeted prevention should include high-risk individuals such as people of color, persons with pre-existing health conditions, or elderly. Sub- recipients may prioritize the use of ESG-CV funds for proven strategies, especially RRH for those experiencing homelessness. Such strategies should be documented. Note: people cannot be denied RRH because of zero income. 8. Standards for determining what percentage or amount of rent and utilities costs each program participant must pay while receiving HP or RRH assistance can be adjusted as needed. Standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance can be adjusted over time. Changing the percentage of client payment requirement is allowable. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act ESG-CV funding, there will be no rental payment requirement for households receiving financial assistance. Projects funded are expected to serve people with zero income. The CARES Act provides that ESG-CV funds may be used to mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19. Programs are encouraged to consider the maximum number of rental assistance months be extended/adjusted to address unemployment, loss of income, or benefits due to COVID-19. It is noted that for ESG CV-19 funds the cap has been lowered to no more than 12 months. RRH sub-recipients can use a progressive engagement model; this practice supports using the least intensive case management to help resolve homelessness for the individual or family. Providers are to add more assistance only as necessary if the less intensive case management is unsuccessful. 9. Agencies should have a process for determining the type, amount, and duration of Page 284 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 12 housing stabilization and/or relocation services to provide to a program participant, including the limits (if any) on the HP or RRH assistance that each program participant may receive (such as the maximum amount of assistance, maximum number of months the program participant may receive assistance, or the maximum number of times the program participant may receive assistance). ESG-CV funds may be used to provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short- and/or medium-term rental assistance necessary to prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter or another place deemed temporary. Agencies should coordinate with emergency shelter staff in order to provide rapid re- housing opportunities for “high risk of coronavirus” shelter guests. 10. The limitations on eligible activities under section 415(a) of the McKinney-Vento Act and 24 CFR 576.105 are waived and alternative requirements are established to the extent necessary to authorize ESG-CV funds to be used under 24 CFR 576.105 to add the eligible cost of paying for landlord incentives as reasonable and necessary to obtain housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and at risk of homelessness. However, a recipient may not use ESG-CV funds to pay the landlord incentives set forth below in an amount that exceeds three times the rent charged for the unit. Agencies may use ESG-CV funds to pay for landlord incentives that are reasonable and necessary to obtain housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and at risk of homelessness. Landlord incentives may not exceed three times the rent charged for the unit. Eligible landlord incentives include: • Signing bonuses equal to 2 months of rent. • Security deposits equal to up to three months of rent, or the state statute. • Costs to repair damages incurred by the program participant not covered by the security deposit or that are incurred while the program participant is still residing in the unit. • Paying the costs of extra cleaning or maintenance of a program participant’s unit or appliances. 11. “Duplication of benefits” occurs when federal financial assistance is provided to a person or entity through a program to address losses resulting from a federally- declared emergency or disaster, and the person or entity receives or would receive financial assistance for the same costs from any other source, and the total amount received exceeds the total need for those costs. Subrecipients must establish and maintain adequate procedures to prevent any duplication of benefits with ESG-CV funds. Page 285 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 13 Agencies must have a process to verify that subrecipients, assisted individuals or families, businesses, and other entities have not previously received or will not receive duplicative assistance from another source. All agencies receiving ESG CV-19 funds must have access to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database or a comparable one. Suggested ways agencies can document DOB verifications can be: • Requiring entities or beneficiaries to provide a self-certification indicating that they have not received a duplicative benefit. • Requiring entities or beneficiaries to fill out a questionnaire listing potentially duplicative assistance that they have already received, or reasonably anticipate receiving. • Having financial resource budget line items kept separately so that funds from multiple sources are not mixed and are easy to tract. • Using HMIS data system to tract all client funding sources.

Beginning in fiscal year 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required local communities and states to prepare a Consolidated Plan in order to receive federal housing and community development funding. A Consolidated Plan is required of any city, county or state that receives federal block grant funding for housing and community development funding, including the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) program. XIII. REQUIRED ANNUAL REPORTS (§ 570.507) A. FIVE -YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN Page 294 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 22 Consolidated Plans are required to be prepared every three to five years; updates are required annually through Annual Action Plans. The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is: 1. To identify a city’s, county’s or state’s housing and community development (including neighborhood and economic development) needs, priorities, goals and strategies; and 2. To stipulate how funds will be allocated to housing and community development activities. In addition to the Consolidated Plan, jurisdictions receiving block grant funding must complete an Annual Action Plan. The Action Plan designates how the City proposes to spend the federal block grant funds in a given program year. The Action Plan shall include goals, objectives and performance measurements for all CDBG-funded activities and projects. The City of Chula Vista typically receives approximately $3million in combined federal grant funds each year. However, if amount of annual entitlement amount is not known during the planning process, a Draft Action Plan including recommended appropriation of funds to subrecipients, contingency plans and approval of the CDBG program year budget is submitted to City Council by Housing and Homeless Services Staff for approval. Upon receipt of annual entitlement award amount, staff will complete the annual Action Plan of the five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development based on the Council action, using the HUD Consolidated Plan Management Process (CPMP tool). The City will publish a notice for a 30-day public review period, which shall include information as to where copies of the draft plan may be found and how members of the public can provide comments. Following the public review period, Housing and Homeless Services Staff shall submit the Action Plan to the Los Angeles HUD Field Office no later than May 15 of each year (45 days prior to the start of the program year) unless a written extension of time is requested and received. Once HUD has received and reviewed the Action Plan, and the appropriate agreements with HUD have been signed for CDBG, City staff shall prepare and process agreements with subrecipients as approved by the Council. The City Attorney shall annually review the draft CDBG public services and capital memorandums of understanding to ensure compliance with federal, state and City codes and regulations, including non-discrimination clauses and City insurance requirements. B. ANNUAL ACTION PLAN C. CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT (CAPER) Page 295 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 23 At the end of each program year, the Grant Administrator shall prepare the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) using the HUD Consolidated Plan Management Process (CPMP) tool. The CAPER shall include the required IDIS program and financial reports and provide clear and correct financial and beneficiary information showing how the City is carrying out its housing community development strategies, projects and activities. The draft CAPER shall be available for a thirty-day public review period in September each year together with information on how to provide comments and/or questions. Print copies shall be available at the Housing and Homeless Services office with a copy posted on the City’s web site. The City shall submit the final CAPER with public comments and City responses to the HUD – Los Angeles Field Office no later than September 30th each year, or within ninety days following the close of the program year. The HUD Los Angeles Field Office prepares an annual Program Year Review Letter with comments on the use of CDBG and HOME funds as reported in the CAPER. The City will follow up on any necessary corrections or recommendations contained in the Review Letter as quickly as possible. 1. The Finance Department shall ensure that SF 425 and SF 425-A, the Quarterly Federal Financial Report, are filed accurately and in a timely manner. 2. The Program Administrator shall submit to HUD each year a report (HUD/EEO–4) on recipient employment containing data as of June 30. 3.

The Grant Administrator shall work with all subrecipients to ensure that they understand reporting requirements, with the understanding that the City and subrecipients share joint responsibility for carrying out permitted activities in conformance with federal requirements. Subrecipients shall provide documentation that demonstrates the achievement of program goals and the completion of activities on a monthly basis. All requests for reimbursement shall have adequate documentation of how federal funds were used and that funds were used only for eligible activities. Complete records, and accurately D. PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL REPORTING Page 296 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 24 and timely reporting, are essential to successful CDBG programs for the City and all subrecipients. 6. The Grant Administrator shall ensure that expenditures of CDBG funds shall be drawn down from the U.S. Treasury on a regular basis and not less than quarterly. A funding cycle schedule is determined annually by Housing Staff and is based upon the following general guidelines: In order to ensure maximum participation, public notices are published with the funding availability announcement, information on requirements and the applicant workshop are mailed to all agencies that expressed an interest in applying during the previous year and to those who have applied for funding in the past two years. Current grant recipients are also e- mailed the funding announcement and the time, date and location of the mandatory workshop and the announcement is posted on the City’s web site informing the public of the opportunity to apply and the orientation workshop. All applicants will submit a Master application detailing the proposed program, goals, measurable objectives and agency/program finances.

A mandatory Application Orientation/Technical Assistance workshop is held for all prospective applicants each year. The purpose of the workshop is to explain any program changes, the allocation process and to answer any questions relating to funding requirements, criteria and priorities. Housing Staff presents and answers questions on program guidelines, applicant and activity eligibility requirements, the National Objectives for the programs, local objectives and priority activities in the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan, and application requirements. Housing staff reviews the applications after submission to ensure that the applications are complete, and that the applicant and proposed program qualify for funding under U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations, as well as meet the City’s five- year Consolidated Plan. Original applications of agencies awarded CDBG funds are retained for use in preparation of contracts and files. In addition to the funding priorities established through the Consolidated Plan, the City developed a rating system to assist in prioritizing and selecting grant recipients under the public services category. The funding methodology classifies each of the activities in the following three categories: • Tier I: Basic/Essential Needs (Food, Housing, Emergency Services) • Tier II: Special Needs (At-Risk Youth, Family Violence, Special Needs/Disabled) • Tier III: Other (General) After rating each applicant, the Committee deliberates on funding recommendations. In years when CDBG entitlement amount is not known, an estimated amount will be used. The amount of funds awarded may be adjusted as per the Council-approved contingency plan. This plan is utilized when the CDBG entitlement differs from the estimate. The plan ensures the City does not exceed the fifteen percent public services cap. D. ASSISTANCE TO APPLICANTS E.

The payment is program income to the City of Chula Vista. This subpart sets forth certain additional program requirements which are determined to be applicable to CDBG grants provided as a matter of administrative discretion. The Community XVI. OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS (SUBPART K) Page 301 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 29 Development Programs Staff shall incorporate the following additional program requirements as per § 570.600 through § 570.614 as applicable. The City as a recipient of federal grant funds shall ensure that subrecipients comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting race, color, and national origin discrimination including language access for limited English proficient persons), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (prohibiting disability discrimination), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (prohibiting sex discrimination in education and training programs), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (prohibiting age discrimination in the provision of services), and a variety of program-specific statutes with nondiscrimination requirements. Programs may target particular groups for services without violating guidelines regarding equal access to services, so long as any member of the particular group – e.g., any senior for a senior services program, any school-age child for a neighborhood-based afterschool program – is able to participate in the program. The City shall ensure that provisions of Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended, regarding Equal Employment Opportunity are carried out on all CDBG, HOME and ESG funded projects or activities, and that subrecipients agree to and abide by federal (FHEO) and state (CA DFEH) fair housing and equal opportunity requirements for non-discrimination with regard to access to services or housing provided by a subrecipient. The City will further ensure that provisions of Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services by Persons with Limited English Proficiency,” are carried out by subrecipients to improve access to CPD programs and activities by eligible persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). Environmental Review is the examination of a project relative to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its related laws. NEPA was established to ensure environmental protection for federally funded projects. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded projects are subject to the provisions of NEPA [24 USC 432-14347] and the HUD regulations implementing NEPA [24 CFR Part 58]. Recipients of CDBG funds are required to complete an environmental review prior to receiving environmental clearance from the City of Chula Vista Housing Division. The type of project a recipient is completing will determine the level of environmental review and the necessary documentation that will be required. For every environmental review, three basic steps must be followed in order to correctly XVII. NON -DISCRIMINATION - FAIR HOUSING AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (§ 570.601) XVIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (24 CFR PART 58, § 570.605 § 570.604) Page 302 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 30 complete the review. These steps include Activity Review; Determination of Level of Review; and Documentation. 1. Activity Review: The recipient should evaluate the entire scope of the project and include all funding sources that may be used in conjunction with the project. Defining the project should include determining all integrally related activities designed to accomplish a specific objective. For housing projects this could include down payment and closing cost assistance, land acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, infrastructure development, demolition, and any other appropriate activity that would be necessary to complete the CDBG funded project. Other CDBG projects could include public works, wastewater , planning, new streets, sidewalks, and any other CDBG eligible activity as determined by the Housing Division, pursuant to HUD Regulations. 2. Determination of Level of Review: The Housing Division will determine which level of environmental review is appropriate for the project in order to correctly complete the necessary documentation for the project. A Determination of Level of Review Form must be completed which provides a complete description of the project and the level of environmental review that will be completed. 3. Documentation: The appropriate Environmental Review Packet and other necessary information required to fully document the environmental review must be included in each of the activity files. The Activity Review and the determination of level of review will help determine the documentation required. Figure 2 below describes the environmental review process for CDBG, HOME and ESG funded activities.

Any changes to this plan shall be approved by the City Council. The City shall hold public hearings at least two times per year and encourage public participation during preparation of the five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development, the annual Action Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). The City will comply with Executive Order 13166 of August 11, 2000, Improving Access to Services by Persons with Limited English Proficiency, in all citizen participation activities. Refer to XX for the City of Chula Vista’s Citizen Participation Plan. The City and all subrecipients shall adhere to Section 109 of the Act which requires that no person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance made available pursuant to the Act. Section 109 also directs that the prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age under the Age Discrimination Act and the prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of disability under Section 504 shall apply to programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance under Title I programs. Whenever CDBG funds in excess of $2,000 are allocated for construction projects, the subrecipient and any contractor(s) shall abide by requirements of Davis Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) for prevailing wages and of Section 3 economic opportunities for low and very low- income persons. The City shall provide appropriate guidance to both subrecipient and contractor regarding DBRA requirements, including wage determinations, and Section 3 requirements as applicable to all CDBG- funded projects. This plan was written in accordance to Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Its objective is to insure that persons displaced as a result of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) assisted projects receive the benefits they are entitled to as mandated by federal laws.

Minimizing Permanent displacement: The City of Chula Vista (“City”) will minimize displacement of families and individuals from their homes and neighborhoods as a result of activities assisted with funds provided under the HOME Investment Partnerships and Community Development Block Grant programs. The City will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable lower income housing demolished or converted to a use other than lower income housing under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Lower income housing is defined here as housing with a market rent (including utility costs) that does not exceed the San Diego regional Fair Market Rent (FMR), as determined and revised each year by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Section 8 program. 2. All replacement housing will be provided within three years after commencement of the demolition or conversion. Before entering into a contract committing the City to provide funds for a project that will directly result in demolition or conversion, the City will make public, through a Notice of Availability that references a project description available at the City Housing and Homeless Services Department, and submit to HUD the following information in writing: a. Description of proposed assisted project; b. Address, number of bedrooms and map of location of lower income housing that will be lost as result of the project; c. Time schedule for start and completion of demolition or conversion; d. To the extent known, address, number of bedrooms and map of location of replacement housing that has been or will be provided; e. Source of funding and time schedule for provision of replacement housing; f. Basis for concluding replacement housing will remain lower income housing for at least 10 years from date of initial occupancy; and g. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of housing units that are different in size from those units lost, is appropriate and consistent with housing needs and priorities identified in the approved Consolidated Plan. To the extent that the specific location of the replacement housing and other data are not available at the time of the submission, the City will identify the general location of such housing on a map and complete the disclosure and submission as soon as data are available. The City of Chula Vista Housing and Homeless Services Department (619-691-5047) is responsible for tracking the replacement of lower income housing and ensuring that it is provided within the required period. Relocation payments and other relocation assistance, to any lower income person displaced by the demolition or conversion of lower income housing to another use, will be provided by the recipient of HOME or CDBG funds for the assisted project . No waiver for relocation assistance will be accepted. B. POLICY Page 306 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 34 1. Temporary Relocation: The following policies cover residential tenants who will not be required to move permanently but who must relocate temporarily for the development. Such tenants must at a minimum be provided: a. Reimbursement for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation, including the cost of moving to and from the temporary occupied housing and any increase in monthly rent/utility costs at such housing. b. Appropriate advisory services, including reasonable advanced written notice of i. the date and approximate duration of the temporary relocation; ii. the address of the suitable, decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling to be made available for the temporary period; iii. the terms and conditions under which the tenant may lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling in the building/complex upon completion of the project; and the provisions in the Notice of Non-displacement in which persons who are not to be displaced must be provided a notice explaining the reasonable terms and conditions under which they may lease and occupy the property upon the completion of the acquisition or rehabilitation. It is important that this notice be provided as soon as possible. In addition, agencies must offer all residential displaced persons transportation to temporary replacement housing. 2. Step to minimize displacement: Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the HOME and CDBG programs, the City, at a minimum, will take the following steps to minimize direct and indirect displacement of persons from their homes: a. Stage rehabilitation of apartment units, where possible, to allow tenants to remain in the building/complex during and after rehabilitation, working with empty units first; b. Arrange for facilities to house persons who must be relocated temporarily during rehabilitation; c. Arrange for acceptable replacement units; d. Arrange for appropriate advisory services at the levels described in 49 CFR part 24, including advanced written notice of date and approximate duration of temporary relocation, location of suitable, decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling to be made available for the temporary period. The terms and conditions under which a tenant may lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling in the building/complex upon completion of the project. In addition, agencies must offer all residential displaced persons transportation to temporary replacement housing; and e. Adopt an appeals process for those persons who disagree with the determination concerning whether they qualify as a displaced person, or the amount of relocation assistance for which they may be eligible, including the opportunity to file a written appeal of that determination with the City. A low- income person who is dissatisfied with the City’s determination of his or her appeal may submit a written request for review of that determination to the HUD field office. Page 307 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 35 In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”)/Section 504 Rehabilitation Act (“Section 504”), the City of Chula Vista(“City”) shall abide by HUD regulations in Section 504, HUD’s implementation of the American with Disabilities Act, to ensure that no qualified individual with a disability should, only by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving CDBG funds. The City shall include monitoring for Section 504 compliance as part of the annual monitoring of CDBG subrecipients. Monitoring shall include inspection of facilities in which CDBG-funded programs are offered to ensure that the facilities are accessible to persons with disabilities. The City will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. Employment: The City does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the ADA. Effective Communication: The City will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the City programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments. Modifications to Policies and Procedures: The City will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities. For example, individuals with service animals are welcomed in the City offices, even where pets are generally prohibited. Individuals who require special accommodation to access, attend and/or participate in a City meeting, activity or service may request such accommodation. Please contact the City Clerk’s Office for assistance at (619) 691-5041. Service for the hearing impaired is available at 711 (TDD). Requests should be made at least 48 hours in advance for meetings, and 5 days for scheduled services and activities. The ADA does not require the City to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services or impose an undue financial or administrative burden. Complaints that a program, services, or activity of the City is not accessible to a person with XXIII. ADA REQUIREMENTS Page 308 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 36 disabilities should be directed to the following 504 Coordinator: City of Chula Vista ADA Coordinator: Tiffany Allen, Assistant City Manager Direct Line: (619) 691-5179; (TTY) 711 TAllen@chulavistaca.gov The City of Chula Vista will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services reasonable modifications of policy. The City provides reimbursement payments to sub-recipients based on verification of expenditures by submission of a request for payment form with all required back-up documentation. The City will not request CDBG funds in advance or as “float” funds from the U.S. Treasury. The payment request is reviewed upon submission and approved by a Grant Administrator and the Principal Management Analyst. The payment request is then forwarded to the City Finance Department to issue and mail the check to the subrecipients. Final payments to subrecipients will be made only upon submission of final program reports that document the achievement of program goals and satisfactory completion of the CDBG- funded activity. On a monthly basis, the Grant Administrator reviews the grant expenditures shown in the City's accounting system (MUNIS). The Grant Administrator initiates the drawdown process by preparing a Draw Proposal based on actual expenses (Figure 2 below). The Grant Administrator provides the proposal to the Finance Accounting Technician for review. Upon approval, the proposal is returned to the Grant Administrator for processing in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement Information Systems (IDIS). The Draw Voucher is then forwarded back to the Finance Department for entry into the City's accounting system after receipt of funds from the U.S. Treasury. XXIV.

This system was designed to closely monitor expenditures and drawdowns. The tracking system is used to generate the drawdown voucher proposals and track the City’s Planning/Administration and Public Services expenditures to ensure compliance with the mandated spending caps. (Figures 1 and 2 provide a sample of the City’s tracking system).

It should be noted that within each function below, there are several layers of review in each of the corresponding departments. FIGURE 6: FISCAL MANAGEMENT PROCESS Subrecipients will be monitored by Housing staff or through contractors to ensure program compliance. Staff will utilize both “Desk Monitoring” and “Internal/On-site” monitoring to assess the quality of program performance over the duration of the contract. Monitoring provides information for making informed judgments about program effectiveness and management efficiency, as well as identifies internal weaknesses that may contribute to fraud or abuse. The procedures established are to ensure program compliance with the requirements of Subpart O and all other applicable laws and regulations. Monitoring of subrecipients shall concentrate on program, financial, and regulatory performance of the subrecipients, including subrecipients of capital improvement project funds. Primary monitoring objectives are to make sure that subrecipients comply with all regulations governing administrative, financial, and programmatic operations. In conducting monitoring and performance reviews, Housing staff will primarily rely on information obtained from the subrecipient's performance reports, records, audits, allowed costs, review of financial reports, eligibility and number of beneficiaries served, compliance with federal regulations and City program requirements. Staff may also consider relevant information pertaining to a recipient's performance gained from other sources, including litigation, citizen comments, and other information provided by or concerning the subrecipient. Within three months of contract execution, City staff shall develop and implement a monitoring schedule to visit all new subrecipients. Previously funded subrecipients shall be monitored once every other year. Monitoring visits shall include review of compliance by funded agencies and organizations of federal EEO and Section 504 ADA requirements. The City shall include its XXV. PERFORMANCE REVIEWS (SUBPART O) - MONITORING OF SUBRECIPIENTS Page 312 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 40 monitoring program in the annual Action Plan . A record of monitoring visits and any subsequent action shall be maintained in the files of each CDBG subrecipient. A subrecipient's failure to perform under the terms of the contract with the City of Chula Vista and/or maintain records in the prescribed manner may result in a finding that the subrecipient has failed to meet the applicable requirement to which the contract with the subrecipient pertains. If Housing staff finds that a recipient has failed to comply with program and/or contract requirements or has failed to meet a performance criterion, staff will take the following steps: 1. Issue a letter of warning advising the recipient of the deficiency and putting the recipient on notice that additional action will be taken if the deficiency is not corrected or is repeated; 2. Recommend, or request the recipient to submit, proposals for corrective actions, including the correction or removal of the causes of the deficiency. City staff will offer technical assistance to subrecipients when monitoring indicates less than complete compliance with CDBG regulations or contract requirements. Such assistance may include, but is not limited to, providing applicable copies of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circulars. On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published (at 78 Federal Register 78590; https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-30465) final guidance on the above subject, which is codified at 2 CFR part 200. OMB and the Federal award making agencies published a joint interim final rule implementing the final guidance as requirements for recipients of Federal financial assistance on December 19, 2014 (at 79 Federal Register 75871; https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/12/19/2014- 28697/federal- awarding-agency- regulatory-implementation-of-office-of-management-andbudgets-uniform). OMB also made technical corrections to part 200. If the subrecipient fails to undertake appropriate corrective or remedial actions which resolve the deficiency to the satisfaction of Housing Staff, the Staff may take one or more of the following actions. Such actions shall be designed to prevent a continuation of the performance deficiency; mitigate, to the extent possible, the adverse effects or consequences of the deficiency; and prevent a recurrence of the deficiency. Prior to a reduction, withdrawal, or adjustment of a grant or other appropriate action, taken pursuant to (1), (2), or (3) below, the recipient shall be notified of such proposed action and given an opportunity within a prescribed time period for an informal consultation. These actions may include but are not limited to the following: 1. Advise the subrecipient in writing that additional assurances are required; 2. Advise the subrecipient to suspend disbursement of funds for the deficient activity; 3. Advise the subrecipient to reimburse the City of Chula Vista program account in any amounts improperly expended. XXVI. CORRECTIVE AND REMEDIAL ACTIONS (§570.910) Page 313 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Page | 41 The City of Chula Vista shall have the same rights as the Secretary of HUD as to other remedies for noncompliance per § 570.912 and § 570.913. Page 314 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Upwards is the nation's largest network of family child care providers. We are grateful for the City to fund the Boost program as a direct investment in Chula Vista's child care infrastructure, small business community, and working families. Boost equips low-to-moderate income, in-home child care providers with one-on-one business coaching and digital tools to strengthen their operations and grow their revenue. Providers work individually with experienced Care Specialists to build a customized Business Action Plan — covering marketing, enrollment, finances, programming, staffing, and more. They also receive free access to our Child Care Management System, which streamlines day-to-day operations and improves programming quality. The Result: Providers grow their small businesses, create local jobs, and expand access to affordable, quality care for working families in the community. The Need in Chula Vista: The child care shortage in Chula Vista is both a family crisis and an economic one: ●Access gap: 60% of children under six in Chula Vista lack access to a licensed child care slot, leaving thousands of families— especially mothers and single parents— unable to fully participate in the workforce. ●Low Wages: Child care workers in Chula Vista earn an average of $17.61 per hour, far below the wages of elementary educators. This wage gap drives high turnover and deepens the shortage. ●An Urgent Need: Nationally, two-thirds of child care providers report difficulty meeting basic needs including food and housing — a pressure Chula Vista providers know firsthand. A Proven Model: Boost has a strong track record. Across 30 cities and counties, Upwards has mentored over 500 family child care providers, created 180 new jobs, helped providers increase revenue by an average of 25%, and expanded child care slots by 30–50% — all within the first year of implementation. Upwards is already operating in the region and could launch in Chula Vista immediately upon receiving funding. Learn More: We encourage the Council to support staff’s recommendation to fund the Boost program. We welcome the opportunity to meet with any Council Member to answer questions and discuss how Boost can serve Chula Vista better. For providers or organizations who are interested in learning more about the Boost program, please reach out to the email below for more information.

Department: Development Services G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes. Environmental Notice: The proposed action qualifies for the “common sense” exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Recommended Action Conduct the public hearing and introduce an ordinance amending Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Title 1 (General Provisions), Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), Title 5 (Business Licenses, Taxes, and Regulations), Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic), Title 12 (Streets and Sidewalks), Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), Title 17 (Environmental Quality), Title 18 (Subdivisions), Title 19 (Planning and Zoning), and Title 21 (Historic Preservation). (First Reading) SUMMARY This item consists of proposed amendments to the CVMC covering numerous topics. These updates will help streamline and clarify permit processes/regulations and comply with State Law. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed legislative action was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined that the action qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The action involves only updates and modifications to the CVMC, including creating additional standards for temporary storage containers, streamlining permitting of fueling facilities, and clarifying the process for administrative citations. Furthermore, the action of updating and modifying the CVMC with procedural and clerical changes will not result in an intensification of uses or a change in development potential within the City of Chula Vista (“City”) above what already is permitted under the existing land use and zoning policies of the CMVC that are being updated. Based on an analysis of the nature Page 317 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 and type of these procedural and clerical changes to the CVMC, there is a certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On November 12, 2025, the Planning Commission (“Commission”) considered the proposed amendments to the CVMC and voted 6-0-1 to continue the item to the January 14, 2026, meeting to provide the Commission additional time to review the proposed amendments, and for staff to further research questions raised by the Commission during the hearing. On January 14, 2026, the Commission voted 4-2-1 to adopt a Resolution recommending approval of the proposed amendments (Attachment 1). During the presentation, staff addressed Commissioner’s comments and questions related to the readability of the proposed changes in strikeout-underline format, the duration of recreational vehicle habitation, and fees for grading violations. During the public hearing, staff also addressed Commissioner’s questions related to the timely and reasonable resolution of code enforcement violations, the process for exempting certain non-profit organizations from development impact fees, location and duration of temporary storage containers, and appropriate timeframes for recreational vehicle habitation. Following deliberation and a multi-motion process related to the appropriate length of time for recreational vehicle habitation, the Commission ultimately adopted the Resolution as recommended by staff. DISCUSSION Proposed Amendments A list of the proposed code amendments can be found within Table 1. Each individual item is grouped into three (3) broader categories: Procedural, State Law Compliance, and Land Use and Development. “Procedural” refers to revisions that are procedural in nature and/or contain formatting changes. In this revision, this includes the following items: 1) Expanding the procedures for administrative citations and enforcement; 2) Clarifying the permit expiration process for cannabis businesses; and 3) Making consistent the timelines and procedures for public noticing and appeal applications. “State Law Compliance” refers to revisions required with continued State Law compliance. This includes the following items: 1) Establishing a permitting process for hydrogen fueling facilities pursuant to Government Code Section 65850.7; and 2) Clarifying what development projects are exempt from development impact fees, pursuant to Government Code Section 66001. “Land Use and Development” refers to revisions within Title 19 to land use or development standards.

Permanent storage containers are typically used by business owners for storage in the rear of properties. Additional language is needed regarding the placement/location of said containers, and the permitting process if they are to be located within the public right-of-way. Clarify that a container shall be placed first on-site either in a garage or driveway, and then in the public right-of- way. Specify a temporary encroachment permitting process will be required for any container to be temporarily stored in the public right-of-way.  Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) Recreational Vehicle Storage and Habitation Residential property owners can store recreational vehicles and/or trailers on their property. However, City Code Enforcement Officers routinely deal with complaints from the public regarding people living in these vehicles for extended periods of time. Additionally, there are two (2) separate sections within the CVMC about this topic that need to be consolidated into one resource. Consolidate two (2) sections within this Title to create one area for recreational vehicle storage and habitation standards and establish timeframes for vehicle habitation to discourage extended or permanent residency.  Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) CONCLUSION To streamline improvements for both the overall City and specifically process improvements in the Development Services Department, staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance as recommended by Staff amending CVMC Title 1 (General Provisions), Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), Title 5 Page 320 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 5 (Business Licenses, Taxes, and Regulations), Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic), Title 12 (Streets and Sidewalks), Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), Title 17 (Environmental Quality), Title 18 (Subdivisions), Title 19 (Planning and Zoning), and Title 21 (Historic Preservation) as recommended by the Commission and included as part of Attachments 2 and 3. 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 California 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 There is no current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund as a result of this action. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS 1.

A. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to establish administrative procedures remedies for obtaining prompt compliance in the correction of both major and minor violations of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and state law. Conditions in violation of the Municipal Code or state law which affect conditions upon or uses of real property within the City of Chula Vista are hereby designated nuisances. The procedures authorized or identified by this chapter are the following: notices of violation; administrative citations; administrative fines and penalties; cease and desist orders; abatement of nuisances; recordation of notices of violation; authorization to charge reinspection fees; cost recovery for costs of enforcement; confirmation of costs; and recordation of liens and assessments for cost recovery. B. Each day a violation exists on real property is a continuing and additional violation, and all remedies, penalties and assessments are cumulative. CB. The procedures remedies established in and through this chapter may cross reference, consolidate or incorporate by reference, as applicable, enforcement methods established elsewhere in this code, in order to create a uniform process for prompt code compliance, administrative due process and effective enforcement. D. Various steps or procedures under this chapter may require notice and a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40. When appropriate, notice and hearing requirements for separate administrative actions may be consolidated. EC. The City Manager, any cognizant Director and the City Attorney are each authorized to utilize and initiate the procedures remedies established in this chapter and CVMC Chapters 1.30 and 1.40 CVMC. FD. The procedures remedies in CVMC Title 1 may be used as a supplement to criminal or judicial enforcement action, or both, or in lieu thereof. Selection of one method shall not preclude the use of any other method or combination of methods when appropriate. GE. The terms “abatement,” “City Manager,” “code enforcement officer,” “Director,” “nuisance,” and “responsible party” are as defined in CVMC Section 1.04.010. Page 324 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 4 1.41.020 Reserved.1.41.020 Overview of process. A. Violations of the Municipal Code affecting uses of or conditions upon real property may be corrected through the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC 1.41.030 to the responsible party requiring certain actions to be taken to bring the property or structure into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable period of time in which to correct the violation, normally not less than 10 calendar days. Failure to comply within the time prescribed can then result in the issuance of an administrative citation in accordance with CVMC 1.41.100 or any other method or combination of methods deemed appropriate. B. An administrative citation is a notice to the responsible party which mandates the corrective action and establishes a fine as a penalty for the prior noncompliance of the notice of violation. Subsequent administrative citations may be issued with increased penalty. Corrective action that may be required of a responsible party includes, but is not limited to, the removal of encroachments into public property, the mitigation or restoration of land or adjoining property for illegal grading or development, the removal or modification of blockages of drainage ways and the removal of structures to rectify any code violation or cure any hazardous condition. It includes any other process necessary for abatement. In addition, through the notice and hearing procedures of Chapters 1.30 and 1.40 CVMC, the responsible party can be made subject to an order of abatement through which the corrective work will be undertaken by the City and the cost will be imposed as a lien against the property if the responsible party fails to respond. C. Each day a violation exists on real property is a continuing and additional violation, and all remedies, penalties and assessments are cumulative. D. In addition to a notice of violation, a cease and desist order can be issued pursuant to CVMC 1.41.070 to one or more responsible parties or other persons who perform work in violation of a permit or without a required permit. Violation of the cease and desist order is a separate misdemeanor. A responsible party or any person on scene actively conducting the violation under the direction of a responsible party is subject to arrest without a warrant for continuing work in violation of the cease and desist order, as well as for the actions constituting the violation of this code. A responsible party can be required to obtain necessary permits, restore or revegetate the property, or both, and correct or mitigate the consequences of the violation. Administrative citations can also be issued assessing administrative fines for both the creation of and the continuance of the violation. E. If the responsible party fails or refuses to correct the violation, proceedings may be undertaken to abate any existing or resulting nuisance, pursuant to Chapter 1.30 CVMC. Abatement orders authorize a Director to enter upon property and correct the violation or condition, or the removal of encroachment upon public property. Enforcement costs may be imposed against the responsible party and noncomplying property. F. During the pendency of the violation and the enforcement process, a notice of violation may be recorded against the property pursuant to CVMC 1.41.040 describing the particulars of the violation to insure that the property is properly abated prior to or upon transfer. The recorded notice of violation will be released upon issuance of a notice of compliance which shall be recorded by the Director in due course within 15 days after request for such release by the property owner. G. During the inspection and enforcement process, cost recovery can be imposed for the cost of reinspection (CVMC 1.41.060) and the costs of City services to abate (Chapter 1.30 Page 325 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 5 CVMC and CVMC 1.41.140). These costs may be recorded as a lien against the property following the procedures under this chapter or the waiver thereof by the responsible party. H. Various steps or procedures under this chapter may require notice and a hearing pursuant to Chapter 1.40 CVMC. When appropriate, notice and hearing requirements for separate administrative actions may be consolidated. 1.41.030 Notice of violation. A. A code enforcement officer is authorized to serve a notice of violation upon a responsible party for any violation of the Municipal Code. The notice of violation will describe the violation, the dates and location of the violation, the applicable code section(s), the corrective action required and a date for compliance reinspection. The responsible party will be advised that a reinspection fee (CVMC Section 1.41.060) will be imposed for a second and all subsequent reinspection if compliance is not voluntarily obtained, and that an administrative citation, civil penalty, or any other remedy may also be issued along with civil penalties pursuant to CVMC 1.41.100 and 1.41.110 imposed until the property is brought into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to correct a violation. Typical compliance times may range between a minimum of 10 and calendar days to correct minor violations and no less than 30 calendar days dependent upon the nature of the for major violation(s). Immediate corrections may be required for violations that are easily corrected or present an imminent risk to health and safety. A code enforcement officer may extend the compliance time frame for a reasonable period beyond those limits if appropriatecircumstances dictate. The notice of violation will inform the responsible party of the potential costs and consequences that may ensue under this chapterbe imposed if voluntary compliance is not obtained within the time prescribed. If the violation is corrected in accordance with the terms of the notice of violation, no costs or charges will be imposed. B. Service of a notice of violation is effective upon delivery or mailing pursuant to this section. Failure or refusal to sign does not invalidate the notice of violation and subsequent proceedings. C. The property will be reinspected once for compliance. If the responsible party refuses to allow inspection, after a reasonable demand, the code enforcement officer may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50. Failure of the responsible party to allow inspection or remedy the violation shall result in the issuance of an administrative citation, the charging of reinspection fees, and may result in a separate criminal violation for the failure to allow inspection (CCP Section 1822.57). D. If the violation also constitutes the performance of work without a required permit or in violation of an issued permit, the code enforcement officer may issue a cease and desist order pursuant to CVMC 1.41.070 to temporarily and immediately enjoin the work and to take any other action appropriate at that time. If the violation creates a hazardous condition which affects public safety or an imminent threat to life, safety, summary abatement may be initiated pursuant to this section. 1.41.040 Recordation of notice of violation. A. Whenever a violation on real property remains uncorrected after a notice of violation has been issued, a copy of the notice of violation may be recorded by the Director of Development Page 326 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 6 Services or designee in the real property records of San Diego County if the following prerequisites are met: 1. A violation has remained uncorrected on the property for at least 30 calendar days following service of the notice of violation; 2. The property owner, if not the responsible party, has been notified of the prospective recordation and been offered the opportunity to correct the violation; 3. The property owner and all of the responsible parties have been shall be notified that development permits shall be withheld during the time the property remains in violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.050, except for those permits that are necessary to bring the property into compliance; and 4. The responsible party and the property owner have been noticed and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC to contest the proposed corrective action and the proposed recordation. B. The Director of Development Services or designee is authorized to record the notice of violation pursuant to this section upon issuance of the final order. C. Cancellation of Recordation. The Director of Development Services or designee shall issue to the property owner and other responsible parties a signed notice of compliance which states on its face that it cancels the notice of violation once all violations have been corrected and any administrative penalties, costs and fines involved in the enforcement process have been paid. The notice of compliance shall be recorded by the Director of Development Services or designee if the notice of violation was recorded. 1.41.050 Nonissuance of permits. After a notice of violation has been recorded against the property pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.040, the City Manager Director of Development Services or designee shall withhold the issuance of any permits for development as allowed by law upon that property, save for those permits necessary to correct the violation(s). A party whose permits are to be withheld shall be noticed as part of the recordation process pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.040 and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC in which to contest this decision. 1.41.060 Reinspection fees. A. Reinspection fees are authorized to recover City costs when excessive time and effort becomes necessaryare required to obtain code compliance. Reinspection fees are an appropriate method to recover costs that are disproportionately attributable to recalcitrant responsible parties. B. After a notice of violation, or an administrative citation, or any is issued, or another order is issued by the City by or under the authority of a Director which requires corrective action by a responsible party, that party will be notified that it will be liable for any reinspection fees necessary if the condition remains uncorrected. The first inspection following the issuance of the notice of violation, citation or order is considered part of the normal cost of enforcement and will not be charged if the condition is then promptly corrected. Otherwise, it will be included as part of the costs of enforcement. Page 327 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 7 C. Reinspection fees may be collected and enforced as part of the enforcement process or in combination with other administrative proceedings under this chapter, provided the responsible party was notified in advance of its liability for reinspection fees under subsection (B) of this section. Appeals, service of notice and hearing procedures are established in CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC. D. Reinspection fees will be charged on the basis of actual staff time utilized for the inspection(s), based upon the master fee schedule on file in the office of the City Clerk. 1.41.070 Cease and desist orders. A. TheA Director of Development Services or code enforcement officerdesignee is authorized to issue personally, or to serve in accordance with CVMC 1.40.030, a written cease and desist order upon any person violating a provision of the Municipal Code through which work is being performed without a permit, if required, or in violation of an issued permit. The cease and desist order may be served personally or in accordance with CVMC Section 1.04.030.Cease and desist orders are particularly appropriate for violations of land grading, watercourse and water and sewer regulations and related work which alters the condition of real property or through which environmental degradation or pollution will continue to occur if not stopped immediately. B. It is unlawful for any person to whom a cease and desist order has been personally issued or served to continue to perform work in violation of the terms of that order. C. It is unlawful for any responsible party to whom a cease and desist order has been served to continue to perform work or to allow or permit another to continue to perform work in violation of the terms of that order. D. Prosecution under subsection (B) or (C) of this section does not bar prosecution or administrative enforcement, or both, of the previous underlying violations for any or all days the violation had been in existence, or for the continuance of the underlying violation. E. Any The Director of Development Services or code enforcement officer in whose presence a violation of subsection (B) or (C) of this section occurs may arrest the violator without a warrant, and a police officer may accept custody of that arrestee for criminal enforcement processing. F. The Director may initiate other administrative enforcement and compliance methods in accordance with this chapter and CVMC Chapters 1.30 and 1.40 CVMC, as appropriate. 1.41.080 Reserved. 1.41.090 Reserved. 1.41.100 Administrative citations. A. The Council finds that there is a need for an alternative method of enforcement for minor violations of the Municipal Code and applicable state codes. The Council further finds that an appropriate method of enforcement for minor violations is an administrative citation program. Page 328 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 8 The procedure established in this section shall be in addition to criminal, civil or any other legal remedy established by law which may be pursued to address violations of the Municipal Code or applicable state code. B. An administrative citation imposing an administrative fine can be issued to a responsible party for violation of a regulatory provision of this code or state law., and the responsible party be required to pay an administrative fine. Administrative citations and penalties are particularly appropriate in cases of structural, building and zoning violations that do not create an immediate danger to health or safety if the responsible party has failed to correct the violation after the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC 1.41.030. C. An administrative citation may be issued in lieu of a Notice of Violation or the initiation of a criminal action for the same violation. Administrative citations are not a prerequisite to any other remedy and need not be issued sequentially. However, in particularly egregious cases, criminal enforcement may be appropriate for continuing violations if the administrative citation is ignored by the responsible party. D. The amount of fine attached to an administrative citation fine that may be imposed for each separate violation of the same code section is as follows: 1. Administrative citation fines may be issued in the following amounts: Two hundred fifty dollars ($250), fiveOne hundred dollars ($500100.00), for a first violation; one thousand dollars ($1,000200.00), or one thousand five hundred dollars for a second violation within the 12 calendar months of the first violation; ($1,500.00). for each additional violation occurring after the second violation and within 12 months of any prior violation. 2 . In determining the amount of the fine to be imposed, the issuing officer should consider the following factors: a. Duration of the violation; b. Frequency or occurrence of the violation; c. Seriousness of the violation in relation to its threat or impact upon public health, welfare or safety; d. History of the violations; e. Activity taken by the responsible party to obstruct or interfere with correction of the problem; f. Good faith or bad faith efforts by the responsible party to comply; g. The impact of the violation on the surrounding property and community; h. The financial ability of the responsible party to have corrected the violation in a timely fashion. 3. Except, if a violation is determined or designated to be an infraction in the Municipal Code, then the penalties are as follows: a. A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) for a first violation. b. A fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year. Page 329 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 9 c. A fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year. 4. Notwithstanding any other law, a violation of local building and safety codes determined or designated to be an infraction is punishable by the following: a. A fine not exceeding one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for a first violation. b. A fine not exceeding seven hundred dollars ($700) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year. c. A fine not exceeding one thousand three hundred dollars ($1,300) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation. 1. A fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within two years of the first violation if the property is a commercial property that has an existing building at the time of the violation and the violation is due to failure by the owner to remove visible refuse or failure to prohibit unauthorized use of the property. 4. Issuance of an administrative citation and payment of the administrative fine does not excuse compliance and corrective action regarding the violations. Although continuing violations of the Municipal Code are separate offenses, the responsible party shall be allowed a reasonable time of not more than 10 30 calendar days in which to correct the violation before a second or subsequent administrative citation may be issued. 5.43. A responsible party may request administrative review of an administrative citation pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC. E. The administrative citation shall contain the following information: 1. Date of the violation; 2. Address and location of violation; 3. Description of violation; 4. Applicable codes and statutory sections violated; 5. Corrective action required; 6. An order to bring the violation into compliance; 7. Notice of the fines to be imposed; 8. A date, not less than 20 calendar days, by which payment of the fine must be made; 9. Location and acceptable methods for payment; 10. Notification that payment does not excuse correction of the violation; 11. Notice of right to request review pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC. F. A party filing a timely request for review pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC shall post a deposit with the Director of Development Services or designee. Enforcement of the administrative fine shall be stayed pending the decision of a hearing examiner if a hearing is requested. Procedures for review shall be in accordance with CVMC Chapter 1.40 CVMC. The deposit will be returned if the appeal is granted. A final order is not subject to judicial review after 20 days have elapsed from the date of its issuance, unless the party complies Page 330 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 10 with Government Code Section 53069.4. See CVMC 1.40.020(H). A final order may be enforced pursuant to CVMC 1.41.160. 1.41.110 Civil penalties. A. The Council finds that there is a need for alternative methods of enforcement of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and applicable state codes. The Council further finds that the assessment of civil penalties through an administrative hearing procedure for code violations is a necessary alternative method of code enforcement. The administrative assessment of civil penalties established in this section is in addition to any other administrative or judicial remedy established by law which may be pursued to address violations of the Municipal Code or applicable codes. B. Civil penalties may be assessed against a responsible party for continued violations of the Municipal Code or applicable state codes, whether of the same section or any combination, that reflect a continuing disregard for the requirements of such laws. The Director of Development Services or designee may issue a notice and order to the responsible party assessing a civil penalty pursuant to this section. The civil penalty may be enforced against the responsible party as a lien pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.140. C. Except for violations of land grading ordinances contained in CVMC Chapter 15.04 CVMC and violations of commercial cannabis provisions contained in CVMC Chapter 5.19 CVMC, civil penalties may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $2,500 per violation per day. D. The civil penalty for violations of land grading permits or land grading work done without the issuance of a permit shall be based on an estimate by the Director of Development Services or designee of grading work performed. The rate of civil penalties shall be as follows: 1. Less than 250 cubic yards, but not meeting the requirements for an exemption from grading permit under CVMC 15.04.150: $1,000 per violation; 2. Two hundred fifty-one (251) to 500 cubic yards: $5,000 per violation; 3. Five hundred one (501) to 1,000 cubic yards: $10,000 per violation; 4. Over 1,001 cubic yards: $25,000 per violation; 5. In the event any individual, firm, company, developer or property owner causes a second violation of the land grading permit ordinance, either on the same property or different property and whether or not part of the same development, the rate of civil penalties shall be doubled. For third and subsequent violations, the rate of civil penalties shall be multiplied by a factor of four. E. Civil penalties for violations of CVMC Chapter 5.19 CVMC may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $10,000 per violation per day. F. Civil penalties under this section may be accrued retroactive to the date the violations were first discovered, as evidenced by the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.030, or any later date determined by the Director of Development Services or designee. In determining the amount to be imposed on a daily rate, the Director of Development Services or designee shall consider the following factors: 1. Duration of the violation; 2.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA COMPREHENSIVELY AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 1 (GENERAL PROVISIONS), TITLE 3 (REVENUE AND FINANCE), TITLE 5 (BUSINESS LICENSES, TAXES AND REGULATIONS), TITLE 10 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC), TITLE 12 (STREETS AND SIDEWALKS), TITLE 15 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION), TITLE 17 (ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY), TITLE 18 (SUBDIVISIONS), TITLE 19 (PLANNING AND ZONING), AND TITLE 21 (HISTORIC PRESERVATION) WHEREAS, necessary amendments to the Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) have been identified to help further streamline and clarify permit processes and regulations; and WHEREAS, in 2009, the Development Oversight Committee (“Oversight Committee”) was formed to work with staff in identifying areas within the Development Services Department needing improvement and assisting in developing workable solutions; and WHEREAS, staff presented the draft CVMC amendments to the Oversight Committee, which recommended adoption; and WHEREAS, the proposed legislative action was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined that the action qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The action involves only updates and modifications to the CVMC, including creating additional standards for temporary storage containers, streamlining permitting of fueling facilities, and clarifying the process for administrative citations. Furthermore, the action of updating and modifying the CVMC with procedural and clerical changes will not result in an intensification of uses or a change in development potential within the City above what already is permitted under the existing land use and zoning policies of the CVMC that are being updated. Based on an analysis of the nature and type of these procedural and clerical changes to the CVMC, there is a certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment; and WHEREAS City staff recommends that the City Council approve and adopt the Ordinance with the proposed changes to CVMC; and WHEREAS, after reviewing and consideration of the Staff Report and related materials for this matter, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on November 12, 2025, to consider said CVMC amendments at the time and place as advertised in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning Commission and the hearing was thereafter closed; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission voted 6-0-1 to continue the Item to the January 14, 2026, meeting to provide the Planning Commission additional time to review the proposed amendments, and for Staff to further research questions brought up by the Commission during the hearing; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the subject Ordinance on January 14, 2026, and voted 4-2-1 to adopt Resolution No. 2026-001, and thereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City Council set the time and place for a hearing on the subject CVMC amendments and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in Page 360 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 2 a newspaper of general circulation in the City, at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing; and WHEREAS, after review and consideration of the Planning Commission Resolution No. 2026-001, and the Staff Report and related materials for this matter, the hearing was held to consider said CVMC amendments and Ordinance at the time and place as advertised in the City Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the City Council and the hearing was thereafter closed. NOW THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby find and ordain as follows: The City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds that the proposed amendments to the CVMC identified in this Ordinance No. qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The action involves only updates and modifications to the CVMC, including creating additional standards for temporary storage containers, streamlining permitting of fueling facilities, and clarifying the process for administrative citations. Furthermore, the action of updating and modifying the CVMC with procedural and clerical changes will not result in an intensification of uses or a change in development potential within the City above what already is permitted under the existing land use and zoning policies of the CVMC that are being updated. Based on an analysis of the nature and type of these procedural and clerical changes to the CVMC, there is a certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment. FURTHER, the Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows: Section I. Administrative Citations and Enforcement Procedures. Chapter 1.41 ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES Sections: 1.41.010 Purpose and intent. 1.41.020 Reserved 1.41.030 Notice of violation. 1.41.040 Recordation of notice of violation. 1.41.050 Nonissuance of permits. 1.41.060 Reinspection fees. 1.41.070 Cease and desist orders. 1.41.080 Reserved. 1.41.090 Reserved. 1.41.100 Administrative citations. 1.41.110 Civil penalties. 1.41.120 Abatement action. 1.41.130 Reserved. Page 361 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 3 1.41.140 Cost recovery. 1.41.150 Confirmation of costs. 1.41.160 Enforcement. 1.41.170 Satisfaction of lien or obligation. 1.41.180 Abatement fund. 1.41.010 Purpose and intent. A. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to establish administrative remedies for obtaining prompt compliance in the correction of both major and minor violations of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and state law. Conditions in violation of the Municipal Code or state law which affect conditions upon or uses of real property within the City of Chula Vista are hereby designated nuisances. B. Each day a violation exists on real property is a continuing and additional violation, and all remedies, penalties and assessments are cumulative. C. The remedies established in and through this chapter may cross reference, consolidate or incorporate by reference, as applicable, enforcement methods established elsewhere in this code, in order to create a uniform process for prompt code compliance, administrative due process and effective enforcement. D. Various steps or procedures under this chapter may require notice and a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40. When appropriate, notice and hearing requirements for separate administrative actions may be consolidated. E. The City Manager, any Director and the City Attorney are each authorized to utilize and initiate the remedies established in this chapter and CVMC Chapters 1.30 and 1.40. F. The remedies in CVMC Title 1 may be used as a supplement to criminal or judicial enforcement action, or both, or in lieu thereof. Selection of one method shall not preclude the use of any other method or combination of methods when appropriate. G. The terms “abatement,” “City Manager,” “code enforcement officer,” “Director,” “nuisance,” and “responsible party” are as defined in CVMC Section 1.04.010. 1.41.020 Reserved. 1.41.030 Notice of violation. A. A code enforcement officer is authorized to serve a notice of violation upon a responsible party for any violation of the Municipal Code. The notice of violation will describe the violation, the dates and location of the violation, the applicable code section(s), the corrective action required and a date for compliance reinspection. The responsible party will be advised that a reinspection fee (CVMC Section 1.41.060) will be imposed for a second and all subsequent reinspection if compliance is not voluntarily obtained, and that an administrative citation, civil penalty, or any other remedy may also be imposed until the property is brought into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to correct a violation. Typical compliance times may range between of 10 and 30 calendar days Page 362 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 4 dependent upon the nature of the violation(s). Immediate corrections may be required for violations that are easily corrected or present an imminent risk to health and safety. A code enforcement officer may extend the compliance time frame if appropriate. The notice of violation will inform the responsible party of the potential costs and consequences that may be imposed if voluntary compliance is not obtained within the time prescribed. If the violation is corrected in accordance with the terms of the notice of violation, no costs or charges will be imposed. B. Service of a notice of violation is effective upon delivery or mailing pursuant to this section. Failure or refusal to sign does not invalidate the notice of violation and subsequent proceedings. C. The property will be reinspected for compliance. If the responsible party refuses to allow inspection, after a reasonable demand, the code enforcement officer may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50. Failure of the responsible party to allow inspection may result in a separate criminal violation for the failure to allow inspection (CCP Section 1822.57). 1.41.040 Recordation of notice of violation. A. Whenever a violation on real property remains uncorrected after a notice of violation has been issued, a copy of the notice of violation may be recorded by the Director of Development Services or designee in the real property records of San Diego County if the following prerequisites are met: 1. A violation has remained uncorrected on the property for at least 30 calendar days following service of the notice of violation; 2. The property owner, if not the responsible party, has been notified of the prospective recordation and been offered the opportunity to correct the violation; 3. The property owner and all of the responsible parties have been notified that development permits shall be withheld during the time the property remains in violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.050, except for those permits that are necessary to bring the property into compliance; and 4. The responsible party and the property owner have been noticed and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 to contest the proposed corrective action and the proposed recordation. B. The Director of Development Services or designee is authorized to record the notice of violation pursuant to this section upon issuance of the final order. C. Cancellation of Recordation. The Director of Development Services or designee shall issue to the property owner and other responsible parties a signed notice of compliance which states on its face that it cancels the notice of violation once all violations have been corrected and any administrative penalties, costs and fines involved in the enforcement process have been paid. The notice of compliance shall be recorded by the Director of Development Services or designee if the notice of violation was recorded. Page 363 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 5 1.41.050 Nonissuance of permits. After a notice of violation has been recorded against the property pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.040, the Director of Development Services or designee shall withhold the issuance of any permits for development as allowed by law upon that property, save for those permits necessary to correct the violation(s). A party whose permits are to be withheld shall be noticed as part of the recordation process pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.040 and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 in which to contest this decision. 1.41.060 Reinspection fees. A. Reinspection fees are authorized to recover City costs when excessive time and effort are required to obtain code compliance. Reinspection fees are an appropriate method to recover costs that are disproportionately attributable to recalcitrant responsible parties. B. After a notice of violation, administrative citation, or any other order is issued by the City which requires corrective action by a responsible party, that party will be notified that it will be liable for any reinspection fees necessary if the condition remains uncorrected. The first inspection following the issuance of the notice of violation, citation or order is considered part of the normal cost of enforcement and will not be charged if the condition is promptly corrected. Otherwise, it will be included as part of the costs of enforcement. C. Reinspection fees may be collected and enforced as part of the enforcement process or in combination with other administrative proceedings under this chapter, provided the responsible party was notified in advance of its liability for reinspection fees under subsection (B) of this section. Appeals, service of notice and hearing procedures are established in CVMC Chapter 1.40. D. Reinspection fees will be charged on the basis of actual staff time utilized for the inspection(s), based upon the master fee schedule. 1.41.070 Cease and desist orders. A. The Director of Development Services or designee is authorized to issue a written cease and desist order upon any person violating a provision of the Municipal Code through which work is being performed without a permit, if required, or in violation of an issued permit. The cease and desist order may be served personally or in accordance with CVMC Section 1.04.030. B. It is unlawful for any person to whom a cease and desist order has been issued to continue to perform work in violation of the terms of that order. C. It is unlawful for any responsible party to whom a cease and desist order has been served to continue to perform work or to allow another to continue to perform work in violation of the terms of that order. D. Prosecution under subsection (B) or (C) of this section does not bar prosecution or administrative enforcement, or both, of the previous underlying violations for any or all days the violation had been in existence, or for the continuance of the underlying violation. E. The Director of Development Services or code enforcement officer in whose presence a violation of subsection (B) or (C) of this section occurs may arrest the violator without a Page 364 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 6 warrant, and a police officer may accept custody of that arrestee for criminal enforcement processing. F. The Director may initiate other administrative enforcement and compliance methods in accordance with this chapter and CVMC Chapters 1.30 and 1.40, as appropriate. 1.41.080 Reserved. 1.41.090 Reserved. 1.41.100 Administrative citations. A. The Council finds that there is a need for an alternative method of enforcement for minor violations of the Municipal Code and applicable state codes. The Council further finds that an appropriate method of enforcement for minor violations is an administrative citation program. The procedure established in this section shall be in addition to criminal, civil or any other legal remedy established by law which may be pursued to address violations of the Municipal Code or applicable state code. B. An administrative citation imposing an administrative fine can be issued to a responsible party for violation of a regulatory provision of this code or state law. C. An administrative citation may be issued in lieu of a Notice of Violation or the initiation of a criminal action for the same violation. Administrative citations are not a prerequisite to any other remedy and need not be issued sequentially. D. The amount of fine attached to an administrative citation may be imposed for each separate violation of the same code section as follows: 1. Administrative citation fines may be issued in the following amounts: Two hundred fifty dollars ($250), five hundred dollars ($500), one thousand dollars ($1,000), or one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500). 2 . In determining the amount of the fine to be imposed, the issuing officer should consider the following factors: a. Duration of the violation; b. Frequency or occurrence of the violation; c. Seriousness of the violation in relation to its threat or impact upon public health, welfare or safety; d. History of the violations; e. Activity taken by the responsible party to obstruct or interfere with correction of the problem; f. Good faith or bad faith efforts by the responsible party to comply; g. The impact of the violation on the surrounding property and community; h. The financial ability of the responsible party to have corrected the violation in a timely fashion. Page 365 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 7 3. Except, if a violation is determined or designated to be an infraction in the Municipal Code, then the penalties are as follows: a. A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) for a first violation. b. A fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year. c. A fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year. 4. Notwithstanding any other law, a violation of local building and safety codes determined or designated to be an infraction is punishable by the following: a. A fine not exceeding one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for a first violation. b. A fine not exceeding seven hundred dollars ($700) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year. c. A fine not exceeding one thousand three hundred dollars ($1,300) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation. 1. A fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within two years of the first violation if the property is a commercial property that has an existing building at the time of the violation and the violation is due to failure by the owner to remove visible refuse or failure to prohibit unauthorized use of the property. 4. Issuance of an administrative citation and payment of the administrative fine does not excuse compliance and corrective action regarding the violations. Although continuing violations of the Municipal Code are separate offenses, the responsible party shall be allowed a reasonable time of not more than 10 calendar days in which to correct the violation before a second or subsequent administrative citation may be issued. 5. A responsible party may request administrative review of an administrative citation pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40. E. The administrative citation shall contain the following information: 1. Date of the violation; 2. Address and location of violation; 3. Description of violation; 4. Applicable codes and statutory sections violated; 5. Corrective action required; 6. An order to bring the violation into compliance; 7. Notice of the fines to be imposed; 8. A date, not less than 20 calendar days, by which payment of the fine must be made; 9. Location and acceptable methods for payment; 10. Notification that payment does not excuse correction of the violation; 11. Notice of right to request review pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40. Page 366 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 8 F. A party filing a timely request for review pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 shall post a deposit with the Director of Development Services or designee. Enforcement of the administrative fine shall be stayed pending the decision of a hearing examiner if a hearing is requested. Procedures for review shall be in accordance with CVMC Chapter 1.40. The deposit will be returned if the appeal is granted. 1.41.110 Civil penalties. A. The Council finds that there is a need for alternative methods of enforcement of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and applicable state codes. The Council further finds that the assessment of civil penalties through an administrative hearing procedure for code violations is a necessary alternative method of code enforcement. The administrative assessment of civil penalties established in this section is in addition to any other administrative or judicial remedy established by law which may be pursued to address violations of the Municipal Code or applicable codes. B. Civil penalties may be assessed against a responsible party for continued violations of the Municipal Code or applicable state codes, whether of the same section or any combination, that reflect a continuing disregard for the requirements of such laws. The Director of Development Services or designee may issue a notice and order to the responsible party assessing a civil penalty pursuant to this section. The civil penalty may be enforced against the responsible party as a lien pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.140. C. Except for violations of land grading ordinances contained in CVMC Chapter 15.04 and violations of commercial cannabis provisions contained in CVMC Chapter 5.19, civil penalties may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $2,500 per violation per day. D. The civil penalty for violations of land grading permits or land grading work done without the issuance of a permit shall be based on an estimate by the Director of Development Services or designee of grading work performed. The rate of civil penalties shall be as follows: 1. Less than 250 cubic yards, but not meeting the requirements for an exemption from grading permit under CVMC 15.04.150: $1,000 per violation; 2. Two hundred fifty-one (251) to 500 cubic yards: $5,000 per violation; 3. Five hundred one (501) to 1,000 cubic yards: $10,000 per violation; 4. Over 1,001 cubic yards: $25,000 per violation; 5. In the event any individual, firm, company, developer or property owner causes a second violation of the land grading permit ordinance, either on the same property or different property and whether or not part of the same development, the rate of civil penalties shall be doubled. For third and subsequent violations, the rate of civil penalties shall be multiplied by a factor of four. E. Civil penalties for violations of CVMC Chapter 5.19 may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $10,000 per violation per day. F. Civil penalties under this section may be accrued retroactive to the date the violations were first discovered, as evidenced by the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.030, or any later date determined by the Director of Development Services or designee. In determining the amount to be imposed on a daily rate, the Director of Development Services or designee shall consider the following factors: Page 367 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 9 1. Duration of the violation; 2. Frequency or occurrence of the violation; 3. Frequency or occurrence of other violations during the period of accrual; 4. Seriousness of the violation in relation to its threat or impact upon public health, welfare or safety; 5. History of the violations; 6. Activity taken by the responsible party to obstruct or interfere with correction of the problem; 7. Good faith or bad faith efforts by the responsible party to comply; 8. The impact of the violation on the surrounding property and community; 9. The financial ability of the responsible party to have corrected the violation in a timely fashion. G. The Director of Development Services or designee shall comply with CVMC Chapter 1.40 concerning notice of the proposed civil penalties and the right to a hearing to contest or confirm. Unless contested, the notice and order shall be final and be enforced pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.160. If contested, the hearing examiner shall limit the hearing to the following issues: 1. Whether the responsible party maintained a use or condition on real property that violated the Municipal Code or state law on the dates specified; and 2. Whether the civil penalty assessed is consistent with the criteria expressed in subsection (F) of this section. The hearing examiner may, however, exercise discretion pursuant to CVMC Section 1.40.020(E) and increase or decrease the penalties assessed to a level determined to be supported by the evidence meeting the criteria under subsection (F) of this section. H. The Director of Development Services or designee shall issue a final order based on the proceedings under subsection (F) of this section and establish a date for payment, following which date an enforcement lien may be imposed upon the property in accordance with applicable law. The imposition of an enforcement lien may be made a part of the proceedings and notice and order under CVMC Section 1.41.100 or this section. 1.41.120 Abatement action. If a responsible party fails or refuses to correct a violation, proceedings may be undertaken to abate any existing or resulting nuisance, pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.30. Abatement orders authorize the Director of Development Services or designee, to enter upon property and correct the violation or condition, or the removal of encroachment upon public property. Enforcement costs may be imposed against the responsible party and noncomplying property Page 368 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 10 1.41.130 Reserved. 1.41.140 Cost recovery. A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 38773, costs and penalties that may be recovered and enforced against responsible parties under this chapter include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. City’s direct cost for abatement of nuisances, together with applicable overhead; 2.

Treble damages recoverable pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.7 (see CVMC Section 1.41.160(B)). B. Attorneys’ fees may be recovered by the prevailing party only in individual actions or proceedings in which the City elects, at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees. If the City does not elect, at the initiation of an individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees, no other party shall seek or recover attorneys’ fees. C. These costs may be recovered as a lien against the property following the procedures under this Chapter or the waiver thereof by the responsible party. 1.41.150 Confirmation of costs. Following the conclusion of the City’s remediation, abatement or corrective actions, the Director of Development Services or designee shall notify the property owner and appropriate responsible parties of a proposed assessment of costs against each individually and as a lien or assessment against the real property that was the subject of abatement or corrective action. Notice and an opportunity to be heard and contest the basis for the assessment of costs or lien shall be provided to those parties in accordance with CVMC Chapter 1.40. Following any hearing or waiver thereof, the City Manager may then issue a final order of confirmation of costs against the respective responsible parties.

In accordance with Government Code Section 38773, the City Manager or the Director of Development Services, or both as appropriate, may enforce the confirmation of costs as follows: 1.

SUMMARY In December of 2024, the City Council took action approving a Letter of Intent with the Board of Trustees of the California State University on behalf of San Diego State University for an approximately 6,505 square feet premises within the Millenia Library Building to support the School of Nursing and Global Campus. The City Council also appropriated funds necessary to complete tenant improvements for this purpose.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it has been determined that the Project is adequately covered in a previously certified FEIR for the Otay Page 400 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 Ranch EUC SPA Plan and Tentative Map (EIR 07-01; SCH No. 2007041074; certified by City Council Resolution No. 2009223 on September 15, 2009). Therefore, no further CEQA review or documentation is necessary. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Since 1993, through the adoption of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, the City of Chula Vista has pursued a vision of locating a university within eastern Chula Vista. From 2001 through 2014, through a combination of Land Offer Agreements, land exchanges and agreements with developers, the City acquired 383 acres of land subject to restrictive covenants 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. The City has actively engaged through several planning efforts including the University Now Initiative, which studied workforce needs in the region and developed academic programming to support such needs as well as master planned an initial phase of development on the UID. In 2022, a unique opportunity and legislative appropriation of $30 million in State funding created a major opportunity to build the first Library in the City since 1995 and establish the first partnership between the City and a four-year university. San Diego State University- School of Nursing and Global Campus San Diego State University (SDSU) has worked within their vision of expanding access to higher education across the region with their Imperial Valley Campus, the Mission Valley West expansion, their partnership with Southwestern College and now opening their School of Nursing and Global Campus at the Millenia Library Building. With the implementation of this project, for the first time, a four-year university has partnered with the City in support of its vision to expand access to higher education in the South County region. SDSU will additionally provide substantial public benefit to the residents of the City through workforce development as it educates and trains students at this facility. As the parties embark on this effort, it is the City’s hope and intent to foster conversations with SDSU to consider establishing additional programs in the future within Chula Vista to meet the demand of South Bay students including on the City-owned, University-Innovation District. The SDSU Premises includes approximately 6,505 gross square feet of interior space and an approximately 718 gross square foot exterior patio area and are intended to be dedicated to classroom and related purposes in connection with the SDSU School of Nursing and other educational uses, including programs associated with the SDSU Global Campus. Page 401 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 Key Terms of the Lease Agreement 1. Initial term of the lease shall be ten (10) years and shall commence upon the date the City has completed the tenant improvements (TIs) and delivered the space to SDSU, and SDSU has completed installation of all systems and equipment necessary to use the SDSU Premises as intended. 2. The annual rent to be paid by SDSU to the City shall be one dollar ($1.00). 3. SDSU shall be responsible for certain insurance costs, janitorial and cleaning services, and utilities serving the SDSU Premises. SDSU shall also be responsible for the cost of any improvements SDSU makes to the SDSU Premises not required to be made by the City. 4. City shall construct and deliver TIs, consistent with TI plans and specifications to be provided by SDSU, at City’s sole expense. 5. City shall operate and maintain all common areas at its sole cost and expense. 6. SDSU users will have a non-exclusive right to use the parking areas serving the site at no additional cost. 7. SDSU reserves the right to install information and technology equipment and systems in the SDSU Premises at their cost and subject to approval by the City. Staff recommends entering into a lease agreement with SDSU in the form presented in Attachment 1. Construction of Tenant Improvements Swinerton Builders, the City’s general contractor performing the improvements at the Millenia Library Building, has estimated this project to cost $2,714,943 which is within the approved budget for SDSU. Construction is anticipated to be completed by early August, which coincides with the beginning of the academic calendar. 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 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 item will authorize a ten (10)-year lease agreement with annual rental revenue of $1.00. The initial lease term is anticipated to commence in August 2026, upon completion of tenant improvements. Funds appropriated to date for the SDSU warm shell, common areas and tenant improvements total $3,360,000 within the Capital Improvement Projects Fund under capital improvement project GGV0267 (Millenia Library). Swinerton Builders, the City’s general contractor performing the improvements, has estimated this project to cost $2,714,943, which is within the approved budget.

This contract will be executed in accordance with procurement rules pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 2.56.160.

Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due. (c) Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such default on Tenant’s behalf (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant's default and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. (d) Landlord may pursue any other legal remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under applicable Laws or otherwise. (e) No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a co urt of competent jurisdiction. 18.3 Recovery of Costs. Without limiting Landlord’s remedies under this Lease, applicable Laws, or otherwise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all actual and reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s cure of any Tenant default not cured by Tenant. ARTICLE 19 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD Landlord shall be in default hereunder (a “Landlord Default”) if it fails to perform any of its covenants, agreements, or obligations hereunder, which failure continues for thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant; provided if such cure reasonably takes longer than thirty (30) days to make, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if it has commenced such cure within the thirty (30) day period and at all times thereafter proceeds diligently to complete such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Landlord Default shall include the failure or refusal of Landlord to perform any obligation it has agreed to incur hereunder as soon as possible in the event of an "emergency," defined as an event which threatens the safety and/or well-being of the occupants of the Premises, or which prevents Tenant from continuing ongoing use. (in Tenant's sole reasonable opinion). Tenant, on Landlord's behalf, may but shall not be required to, perform the obligation that caused the Landlord Default provided Landlord is in receipt of such obligation and has opportunity to cure in accordance with this Section 19. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such actual reasonable expenses as are incurred by Tenant while performing such obligations within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor, provided (a) Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of its intention to perform such obligation on Landlord's Page 422 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 18 behalf at least ten (10) Business Days before commencing such performance (unless an emergency, in which event Tenant need only give Landlord one (1) Business Day’s prior notice which may be e-mail), and (b) Tenant includes copies of all invoices evidencing the work performed with its demand for reimbursement. ARTICLE 20 SUBORDINATION This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage now or hereinafter affecting the Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof (each, a “Mortgage”), irrespective of the time of recording such Mortgage, provided the mortgagee thereunder (the “Mortgagee”) is a recognized bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or other lending institution, and provided that such Mortgagees furnish a recognition and subordination agreement consistent with the terms of this Lease, in recordable form reasonably satisfactory to all parties thereto, that states Tenant's occupancy and rights pursuant to this Lease shall not be disturbed nor terminated as long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations hereunder beyond any cure periods. In the absence of a subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement and in the event that any holder of any Mortgage or anyone claiming from or through any such holder or any purchaser of holder's estate in any foreclosure sale shall enter into and lawfully become possessed of the Premises or shall otherwise succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, either through foreclosure of any Mortgage or the acquisition of the estate of Landlord thereby mortgaged, Tenant agrees to attorn to such successor landlord and recognize successor landlord as its landlord under this Lease and to execute, upon request of such successor landlord, an attornment agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant. ARTICLE 21 WAIVER The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition, nor shall either party’s consent to any breach of any term, covenant or condition be deemed to constitute or imply its consent to any subsequent breach of the same or other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default, it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved. ARTICLE 22 NOTICES All notices, demands, or other communications that either party desires or is required or permitted to give or make to the other party under or pursuant to this Lease (collectively referred to as “notices”) shall be made or given in writing and shall either be (a) personally served, (b) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (c) sent by a nationally recognized overnight Page 423 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 19 delivery service or courier.

That statement will certify the dates to which Rent and any other charges have been paid. That statement will also state whether, to the knowledge of the person signing the certificate, the other party to the Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace period provided in this Lease in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease. If the other party is in default beyond any applicable grace period, the statement will specify each default of which the signer then has knowledge. It is intended that this statement may be relied on by others with whom the party requesting that certificate may be dealing. ARTICLE 25 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY Under no circumstances shall either party be liable to the other party for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages or for injury to the other party’s business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom, or loss of business, and each party waives any and all claims for any such damages.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership or of joint venture, or of any association between Landlord and Tenant, and none of the provisions contained in this Lease or any acts of the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship other than lessor and lessee between Landlord and Tenant, nor shall this Lease be construed, except as expressly provided, to authorize either to act as agent for the other. 26.16 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Lease shall bind or benefit the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of the original parties to this Lease. 26.17 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Lease shall not, nor be deemed to, confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, any right or interest, including without limitation any third-party beneficiary status or any right to enforce any provision of this Lease. 26.18 BOT Action; City Council Action. 26.18.1 BOT Action. Landlord acknowledges that many of the approvals or consents to be given by Tenant hereunder may be subject to approval by the BOT, through formal action of the BOT at a regularly or specially called meeting, or its delegee. Tenant makes no representation that any such approval or consent will be granted or that any consent or approval granted by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall indicate that the attendant approval or consent from the BOT or its delegee is forthcoming. Tenant shall not be in breach of any obligation under this Lease for which Tenant’s performance requires the consent, approval, or other action of the BOT or its delegee, and where BOT or its delegee does not grant such consent or approval, and/or does not take such action, in the manner or time provided for in this Lease for Tenant’s performance; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed so as to limit or void any BOT authority with respect to the execution or delivery of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord, nor Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all other sums due under this Lease when required. 26.18.2 City Council Action. Tenant acknowledges that certain approvals or consents to be given by Landlord hereunder may be subject to approval by the City Council of Landlord (the “City Council”), through formal action at a regularly or specially called meeting, or by Landlord’s authorized designee, as applicable. Landlord makes no representation that any such approval or consent will be granted or that any consent or approval granted by Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall indicate that any required approval or consent from the City Council or such designee is forthcoming. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely seek any such required City Council or designee approval or consent. Landlord shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease solely by reason of the failure of the City Council or such designee to grant such consent or approval, or to take such required action, in the manner or within the time otherwise provided in this Lease, provided that Landlord has timely submitted the matter for such approval or consent and is diligently pursuing the same. The Page 427 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 23 foregoing shall not be construed so as to limit or void any City Council authority with respect to the execution or delivery of this Lease by Landlord to Tenant, nor excuse Landlord’s obligation to pay any sums due to Tenant under this Lease when required. 26.19 Press Releases. Neither party shall make any press release regarding the Premises, this Lease, or any other subject matter hereof without the prior written approval of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 26.20 Force Majeure. In the event of Force Majeure, the obligations of the impacted party(ies) will be suspended to the extent caused by the Force Majeure, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Force Majeure shall not in any way excuse, limit, or otherwise modify either party’s financial obligations under this Lease. For a party to avail itself of the benefit of Force Majeure, the Force Majeure event must directly cause a material delay in performance of an obligation or duty hereunder, or an inability to complete the performance of any such obligation or duty. The party claiming the benefit of Force Majeure must give detailed written notice to the other party within five (5) Business Days after obtaining actual knowledge of the Force Majeure event, and failure to provide such notice within such time period shall not void the benefit of Force Majeure but shall instead decrease the duration of the excused performance resulting from such Force Majeure event on a per diem basis for each day of delay in delivering such notice. 26.21 Tenant Financing. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to Tenant’s interest in and to (a) this Lease, or (b) the Premises. Additionally, Landlord shall have no obligation or duty whatsoever to execute any agreements, instruments, or other documents requested by Tenant or any lender of Tenant in connection with any Tenant financing, whether secured by Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, or otherwise; provided if Landlord, in its sole discretion, agrees to enter into any consents, lien releases, waivers, or similar agreements in connection with any Tenant financing, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection therewith, regardless of whether Landlord, Tenant, and Tenant’s lender are able to reach an agreement on a final form of such agreement or whether it is executed. Landlord hereby waives any landlord or similar liens to which it may have a right with respect to the merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property of Tenant located on or about the Premises with respect to this Lease. 26.22 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the default by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. 26.23 Tenant’s Information Technology Equipment. Without limiting the Tenant’s right to install the Tenant Installed Equipment, Tenant shall further have the right, at its cost and expense, to install its information technology equipment and systems in the Premises, and, to the extent needed for the proper operation and use thereof, in portions of the Common Areas as may be reasonably required, including cabling, WiFi, and such other equipment and systems as Tenant desires, and to operate such equipment and systems during the Term, provided Tenant obtains Page 428 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda 24 Landlords prior written approval of the information technology equipment that Tenant wishes to install in the Common Areas, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Subject to obtaining Tenant’s prior approval and opportunity to have a Tenant representative present, neither Landlord nor any other user of the Building or Project shall be allowed to access or use such equipment or systems, and without limiting Tenant’s other rights set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install security to prevent any unauthorized use; provided in the event of an emergency that poses an imminent threat to personal injury, property damage, or a material interruption with Landlord’s information technology services to the Building if such situation is not immediately addressed by Tenant, then Landlord shall be allowed to take such commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably required to mitigate the emergency. If Tenant has elected to share a common MDF/ID, the parties agree to use individual secured cabinets to ensure integrity of each respective party’s equipment. 26.24 Right of First Offer. If at any time during the Term vacant space becomes available for lease on the lower level of the Building, the Landlord shall give Tenant written notice thereof (an “Available Space Notice”). The Available Space Notice shall indicate the specific space that is available for lease (the “Available Space”) and the proposed rental upon which the Landlord would be willing to lease the space to Tenant. Upon Tenant’s receipt of the Available Space Notice the parties shall negotiate in good faith for the terms upon which Landlord would lease the Available Space to Tenant, and Tenant would lease the Available Space from Landlord; provided in all events such negotiation period shall not exceed a period of four (4) months from Tenant’s receipt of the Available Space Notice. If the parties are able to reach a mutual agreement as to the lease of the Available Space, they shall enter into an amendment to this Lease to add the Available Space to the Premises and to make such other modifications, solely with respect to the Available Space, that are mutually agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to reach a mutual agreement within such 4-month period, then Tenant’s rights under this paragraph with respect to the Available Space shall be void and of no further force or effect.

The Final Plans have been approved and are part of this Lease and are attached as Schedule 1 hereto.

The Landlord’s Work shall include the Landlord’s installation of all of Tenant’s Equipment listed and described on the Tenant Equipment Matrix attached as Schedule 2 to this Work Letter, excluding the Tenant Installed Equipment expressly set forth on Schedule 2, which Tenant is responsible to install at its sole cost and expense.

As used in this Lease, the term “Substantially Complete” shall mean the date Landlord notifies and represents to Tenant that (a) all of Landlord's Work has been completed (such that Tenant is able to commence full use of the Premises for the Permitted Use) in a good, workmanlike and lien-free manner, in accordance with good construction practices and in compliance with all applicable Laws and the Final Plans; (b) the Premises is broom-clean and free of all construction equipment and debris; and (c) that a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy (or equivalent) permitting Tenant to occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use has been issued. 1.4 Punch List.

Landlord represents and warrants that the materials and equipment used in the Landlord's Work will be new and meet the requirements of the Final Plans, and that the Landlord's Work will be performed in material conformance with the requirements of the Final Plans, industry standards, and applicable Laws.

If the requesting Party has decided to proceed with the requested Changes, the Parties shall execute a written “Change Order” to memorialize the Changes.

Such work shall be performed in compliance with industry standards and applicable Laws.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution: 1) Approving an amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with Dudek to Provide Civil Engineering and Planning Services, increasing the initial term of three (3) years not-to-exceed amount from $750,000 to $1,200,000, with options to extend for two (2) additional one-year terms with a not to exceed of $250,000 for each additional term, for a total potential contract amount of $1,700,000; and 2) Amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating funds for the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan and the Rohr Park Master Plan. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The City Council previously approved on-call consultant agreements, including an agreement with Dudek for civil engineering and planning services. The proposed amendment would increase the initial term of the contract’s capacity of the Dudek agreement from $750,000 to $1,200,000 to allow for additional services through June 30, 2027. The requested contract capacity increase will support the preparation of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (CVEATC) Master Plan, the expanded scope of the Rohr Park Master Plan, and other as-needed professional services. Separately, this item includes a budget appropriation to fund preparation of the CVEATC Master Plan and additional work associated with the Rohr Park Master Plan. Both planning efforts will establish long-term visions and implementation frameworks and will be brought back to the City Council for consideration upon completion. Page 448 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the Cali fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) because the proposed activity involves only feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted or funded. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION On May 14, 2024, the City Council approved a list of on-call consultant agreements in the areas of Civil Engineering, Construction Cost Auditing, Housing & Homeless Services, Landscape Architecture Engineering, Planning, and Special District Formation & Financial Consulting. These agreements have an initial three-year term with a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000, with options for two (2) additional one-year extensions of $250,000 each, for a total potential contract amount of $1,250,000. The proposed amendment increases the not-to-exceed amount for the Dudek agreement to $1,200,000 through June 30, 2027, with the total potential contract value increasing to $1,700,000 if all extension options are exercised. This increase provides additional contract capacity to support City of Chula Vista (“City”) projects, including the CVEATC Master Plan, the Rohr Park Master Plan, as well as other as-needed services across departments. The amendment does not commit funding but allows the City to authorize work under the agreement as needed. Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan (CVEATC) The City Council approved a Facilities Operations Agreement with Elite Athlete Services, LLC on December 16, 2025, to manage and operate the CVEATC and to support long-term planning efforts for the site, which includes preparation of a CVEATC Master Plan. The CVEATC Master Plan will establish a long-term vision for the approximately 155-acre campus, including future land use, facility improvements, operational strategies, and potential public-private partnerships. The planning effort will include:  Evaluation of facility conditions and future needs  Identification of opportunities for expanded programming and revenue generation  Community and stakeholder engagement  Development of implementation strategies and phasing In addition to establishing a long-term vision for the site, a key objective of the CVEATC Master Plan is to expand and enhance community access to the facility. This includes identifying opportunities for broader public use, programming, and amenities that strengthen the Center’s role as a community asset. The Master Plan will also evaluate opportunities for public-serving uses that provide an extraordinary public benefit and contribute to the community fabric, with an emphasis on ensuring long-term public access. Page 449 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 City staff solicited proposals from multiple on-call consultants and selected Dudek based on their experience with large-scale master planning, including similar campus and regional planning efforts. This effort is expected to cost $750,000. Rohr Park Master Plan Since initiation of the Rohr Park Master Plan, it has been determined that additional work is necessary to complete a full environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and to advance a comprehensive review of the golf course and northeastern section of Rohr Park. The environmental review will evaluate potential impacts associated with proposed improvements and identify appropriate mitigation measures. The review of the golf course will include a detailed assessment of existing conditions and potential enhancements that align with long-term park use and operational considerations. The proposed increase in scope will allow Dudek to complete the environmental analysis, refine design concepts, and ensure that the Rohr Park Master Plan provides a clear and implementable framework for future improvements. This additional work will support informed decision-making by the City Council and ensure the project is consistent with regulatory requirements and community expectations. The additional cost for this work is estimated to total $250,000. The CVEATC Master Plan and Rohr Park Master Plan will be presented to the City Council for review and approval when complete. 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 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 The proposed amendment to increase the contract capacity of the Dudek on-call agreement does not, in itself, result in a fiscal impact, as expenditures will occur only if and when services are authorized. The fiscal impact associated with the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan is estimated at $750,000 and the fiscal impact associated with the proposed increase in scope for the Rohr Park Master Plan is estimated at $250,000, for a combined estimated cost of $1,000,000. These estimates includes contingency funds to address potential scope adjustments and unforeseen needs. Page 450 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 4 Staff recommends appropriating $920,959 in the fiscal year 2025-26 budget to support these planning efforts, as detailed in the table below. Fund/Department Expenditures Total Appropriation $ 920,959 The remaining $79,041 needed to support these efforts is available in the current fiscal year General Fund budget but will require a transfer from the Supplies and Services category to the Non-CIP category of the Non-Departmental department, as detailed in the table below. General Fund Category Expenditures Net Impact $ 0 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of approving the amendment to the Dudek Agreement. Should services be required for a specific private development project, those services would be funded through the applicant’s deposit account. Any future budgetary impacts associated with implementation of the CVEATC Master Plan and the Rohr Park Master Plan will be brought back to the City Council for consideration. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Project Understanding and Approach The City of Chula Vista (City), in collaboration with Elite Athlete Services (EAS), seeks to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (CVEATC). This initiative aims to establish a strategic vision for the 155-acre campus, ensuring its continued role as a premier destination for Olympic, Paralympic, and elite athletes while enhancing community engagement. The Master Plan will integrate expertise in sports facility planning, campus redevelopment, public–private partnerships, and stakeholder collaboration to create a framework that supports long-term growth, sustainability, and innovation. The Dudek team will provide a customized approach to the Master Plan while leveraging our qualifications on similar efforts, such as the San Diego State University (SDSU) Mission Valley Campus Master Plan, University of San Diego (USD) Campus Master Plan, Microsoft Campus Master Plan, and more (refer to Section B, Firm Qualifications). Our approach to master planning is implementation-focused and allows flexibility to shift priorities given market conditions, with the ultimate goal of long-term economic vitality. Our team understands that the CVEATC is a nationally recognized, world-class, multi-sport training facility that serves Olympic, Paralympic, and elite athletes, as well as the broader community. Originally designed and constructed in the early 1990s, the CVEATC has long served as a hub for athletic excellence offering world-class facilities and uniquely allowing year-round training due to the warm climate. The City is seeking to develop a Master Plan that will enhance the 155-acre campus. Our approach and scope of work will accomplish the following objectives as laid out in the request for proposals: Establish a long-term vision and framework for future improvements, land use, and facilities Evaluate opportunities for expanded training, recreation, and event programming Explore strategic partnerships and public–private investment opportunities Incorporate sustainable design principles, accessibility, and operational efficiency Include robust engagement with stakeholders, including City staff, EAS, National Governing Bodies, potential partners, and the public Scope of Work Dudek is proposing to complete the requested services via the following outlined tasks. We have prepared this work effort to align with City objectives and our past experience on similar efforts (see Section B, Firm Qualifications). The Dudek team strength lies in our unique combination of high-profile master planning experience and our trusted local work. This dual perspective allows us to bring best practices while tailoring our approach to the City’s distinct landscape, priorities, and community needs. The Dudek team is amenable to discussing any refinements or adjustments to the scope of work with the City and EAS. Task 1: Kickoff, Data Gathering, Project Meetings, and Administration Kickoff and Partnering Session: The Dudek team will schedule and conduct a project kickoff meeting with core City and EAS staff. This meeting will be structured as a half-day partnering session combined with an initial walking tour of the CVEATC.

This walking tour will build off the tour provided on Monday, December 29 and will give an opportunity for our core team to take a deeper look at opportunity areas. Review and Discovery: Dudek will review existing planning documents, existing conditions, building plans, building inventory, conditions assessments, and past studies and outreach. Review Building Plans – our team will review and compile a set of plans for all buildings on the campus - assuming we can obtain those from the client. We assume these plans would include structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. Building Inventory - we will compile these plans and develop a spreadsheet inventory with relevant information about each building, including potential evaluation and scoring of a building’s condition, programmatic value, needs and potential based on agreed upon criteria. Community Engagement Plan: A robust and well-managed community outreach component begins with a clear and consistent message of collaboration and clear schedule and timeline. Therefore, the first task includes preparing a Communication and Engagement Plan (CEP) that will outline the overarching goals, define the stakeholders and the public, the role of the public and stakeholder in shaping and realizing the project, the overall timeline, and opportunities for engagement. The CEP will outline how, when, and where to engage; discuss process and protocol; and ensure accountability, effective management, and clear outcomes. Stakeholder Interviews: In partnership with the City’s project manager, the Dudek team will identify and conduct up to eight interviews with users, operators, and staff. These may be focus-group or one-on-one meetings. Dudek assumes up 1 hour per interview and half hour of preparation time for each. These interviews will allow our team to learn about buildings conditions, programmatic value, functionality, and generally about how the CVEATC campus and facilities are used. This will help us establish the criteria evaluated in the building inventory described above under Review and Discovery. Ongoing Management and Coordination: Dudek will coordinate and establish ongoing weekly check-in calls/virtual meetings with a core working group consisting of project staff. The City and Dudek project managers may invite other participants to this call as needed. These ongoing check-in meetings will chart completed tasks and status of ongoing work, reaffirm project milestones and deliverables, and flag any anticipated issues that may impact the schedule or budget. Deliverables Key takeaways and summary synthesizing research, existing conditions, interview findings, CEP two drafts) and weekly check-in calls Assumptions Dudek will conduct weekly one-hour check-in meetings for a duration of one year. Dudek will conduct one-hour interviews with one half hour of preparation. Page 482 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 3 Task 2: Analysis, Research, Ideation, and Workshop 1 Synthesis: As an outcome of Task 1, Dudek will analyze and synthesize key findings. These will be supported by diagrams and graphics to effectively highlight and communicate issues, constraints, and opportunities. Big Ideas: Dudek will develop and explore “big ideas” under key themes. Each of these themes will be evaluated under citywide lenses, such as expanded programming, sustainable design, strategic investments, and partnerships. The Dudek team will use this task to understand space priorities, how people using the site, and what needs to be improved. Our team will leverage our subconsultant, ProForma, to provide preliminary feedback and guidance on profitability as we explore concepts. Based on the guided walking tour and information provided thus far, opportunities may include flexible pavilions for events and corporate retreats; multi-use indoor gym; wellness-oriented food hall or public market; Olympic-themed mini golf; museum and branded retail store; and many more. However, the Dudek team does not come with any preconceived notions and will work with the City and EAS to identify the appropriate key themes, “big ideas” and opportunities. The Dudek team will conduct a profitability pressure test including pros and cons of each key theme, as well as a revenue band legend to preliminarily assess the financial viability of each opportunity; see Task 6, Fiscal Analysis. Ideation Workshop: Dudek will organize and conduct Ideation Workshop 1. Attendees would include both internal and external participants: Internal Engagement City (including multiple departments) EAS Technical experts Governing bodies External Engagement Athletes Staff Development/industry experts Housing developers Environmental groups Community groups Local residents Dudek Project Manager Asha Bleier, along with Lead Planner and Outreach Facilitator Elizabeth Dickson, will manage the discussion and ensure that meeting outcomes are achieved–balancing loose brainstorming and disciplined time management. Meeting products will comprise visual notes, diagrams, and summaries. An important aspect of Dudek’s approach to the workshops is the participation and immediate feedback of our subject matter experts: Diego Velasco addressing sustainable urban design, Elizabeth Dickson addressing land use and strategic partnerships, and Ed Armstrong addressing recreation. Their feedback and insights during brainstorming sessions will keep ideation on track and have participants benefit from their learnings from similar master planning efforts. Deliverables Workshop presentation, summary of synthesis and findings, and visual notebook of workshop outcomes. Assumptions The City will assist in selecting and reserving the workshop location and will collaborate in the distribution of workshop announcements through the City website and other means. Page 483 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 4 Task 3: Concept Alternatives and Workshop 2 Alternatives Framework: As an outcome of Task 2, Dudek will refine and translate Workshop 1 outcomes into conceptual alternatives and a framework strategy. Alternatives will be consistent with guiding principles that emerged from Workshop 1 (addressing overall themes of land use, placemaking, sustainable design, and partnerships). Alternatives Workshop: Dudek will organize and conduct Alternatives Workshop 2 to share and discuss the conceptual alternatives framework and to identify preferred approaches and ideas for further refinement. This workshop will present conceptual alternatives and focus on identifying space utilization needs, priorities, and programming. Deliverables Conceptual site and design illustrations, draft alternatives framework, and summary of Workshop 2 (preferences and priorities) Task 4: Preferred Concepts Framework and Master Plan Document Preferred Alternative and Master Plan: As an outcome of Task 3, the Dudek team will assemble and prepare a preferred alternative that includes a framework of priorities and preferences. This will become the basis of the Master Plan. This task also includes preparation of two drafts of the Master Plan. A key focus of the master plan effort will be the preparation of an Implementation chapter that focuses on guidance for the successful implementation, including phasing plan, strategic partnerships and public-private investment opportunities. Additionally, this task includes a City Council workshop, a Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, a Planning Commission meeting, and an additional City Council meeting. These workshops and meetings will be scheduled at appropriate times in collaboration with City staff and the project team. The Dudek team will provide a slide deck and presentation materials for these meetings, and will be available for questions. Deliverables Illustrative site plan, renderings, phasing strategies, and a framework that consists of a summary workbook consolidating visuals and narrative descriptions of the preferred alternative. Up to two drafts of the Master Plan. City Council workshop, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Planning Commission meeting, City Council meeting Assumptions Dudek will provide two drafts of the Master Plan, as well as an initial framework draft. If additional drafts are necessary, the Dudek team can prepare them at an additional cost. This scope of work does not include supporting technical studies, such as utilities and fire access. Dudek can prepare them at an additional cost. Task 5: CEQA CEQA Clearance Subtask 1 CEQA Kick-Off and Project Description Dudek will attend one CEQA kickoff meeting with representatives from the City and EAS to confirm the approach to CEQA documentation. Dudek will prepare support materials, including an agenda, preliminary schedule, and Page 484 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 5 comprehensive data needs list. The purpose of the meeting is to compile the relevant background data and reports, clearly define the project description, discuss important assumptions for achieving the project schedule, confirm all anticipated discretionar y actions, confirm communication and protocols for ongoing coordination, and discuss issues and concerns that the City determines to be important issues for the CEQA analysis. For purposes of this proposal, Dudek assumes an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Using available information from the project team, Dudek will prepare a draft project description for use in the IS/MND and for continuity among technical studies, including the following: Overview summary of Project Long-term operations activities Maps of the project location and any conceptual plans or renderings for the key project components A list of responsible agencies, discretionary actions, and required permit approvals One round of comments from the City will be addressed, and the revised Project Description will be incorporated into the IS/MND under Task 3. Deliverables Agenda, IS/MND schedule, and meeting minutes from the kickoff meeting Project description to the City: One (1) electronic copy (Microsoft Word) Assumptions One (1) round of review/revisions on the Project Description based on consolidated comments from the City. Once finalized, the CEQA Project Description will remain stable and therefore allow for technical analyses to be initiated. Subtask 2 Initial Study Upon completion of the CEQA Project Description, Dudek will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study (IS) while using the City-approved checklist format that is consistent with the procedural and substantive provisions of Section 15063 and Appendices of the CEQA Guidelines. Dudek will provide the City with an Administrative Draft Initial Study for review and comment in electronic format. It is assumed that comments from the City and EAS will consist of consolidated comments. One round of revision is assumed to complete this task. Deliverables One (1) round of document review/revision based on consolidated comments from the City and EAS: Draft/Revised Administrative Initial Study to City: One (1) electronic copy (MS Word only) Assumptions Substantive changes to any assumptions after commencement of the analysis will require a budget augment. If significant impacts are identified and cannot be mitigated to a level less than significant, then an EIR would be required, which would require a scope and budget augment. If it is determined that technical reports or modeling are required, Dudek will provide a scope and budget augment. Page 485 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 6 Subtask 3 Mitigated Negative Declaration Based on final comments received from the City, Dudek will revise the Administrative Draft Initial Study to produce the Screencheck Draft IS/MND. It is anticipated that comments received on the Screencheck Draft IS/MND will be minimal or editorial, and no substantive revisions would be required. Once all staff comments have been addressed, Dudek will prepare the public review IS/MND for a 30-day review period. Dudek will prepare a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt an IS/MND and a Notice of Completion (NOC) that will accompany the distribution of the IS/MND. Upon City sign-off on the public review IS/MND, Dudek will print and provide the City with copies in the following quantities and formats: five (5) printed hard copies with technical appendices on thumb drives, one (1) electronic copy in Microsoft Word, and one (1) electronic Web-ready copy in PDF format. Dudek assumes the public review mailing list will be provided by the City. Dudek will upload the NOC, NOI, and IS/MND to the State Clearinghouse. Deliverables Screencheck Draft IS/MND (MS Word/PDF) Public Review Draft IS/MND to the City: One (1) electronic copy (Microsoft Word and PDF) NOI to the City: One (1) electronic copy (Microsoft Word) NOC to the City: One (1) electronic copy (PDF) Upload to State Clearinghouse: One (1) electronic copy (PDF) Assumptions The City will be responsible for posting and distributing the NOI, and for publication and any associated fees of the NOI in a local newspaper Subtask 4 Final MND (Responses to Comments and MMRP) Once the public review period is closed, Dudek will compile all comments received on the Draft IS/MND and, collectively with the City, determine whether any revisions are required for the Final IS/MND. Dudek will prepare the Final IS/MND, including a summary of the public comments on the Draft IS/MND and any changes resulting from those comments. Dudek will assemble the Final IS/MND and provide the necessary copies and digital files to City staff to take through the hearing process to certification. Dudek assumes that there will be one round of administrative review for the Final IS/MND before finalizing the documents for certification. The Final IS/MND will be submitted to the City for distribution. It is assumed that copies for the City Council will be provided electronically. Dudek will prepare an MMRP for the proposed Project in compliance with Section 21081.6 of CEQA. The MMRP will be prepared in a matrix format; will provide the timing and entity responsible for completing each mitigation measure; and will include the City department or individual responsible for verifying that the mitigation measure has been implemented. Dudek will prepare and file the Notice of Determination (NOD) with the County Clerk within 5 days of certification of the Final IS/MND. Deliverables One (1) round of document review/revision based on consolidated comments from the City: Draft/Final Responses to Comments and MMRP to the City (MS Word and PDF) Draft and final NOD to the City Page 486 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 7 Assumptions This task assumes up to 20 hours of professional staff time for Draft/Final Responses to Comments) to address the public comments received. No new technical analyses or changes to quantified modeling is included. If additional effort is required, a budget augment will be requested. This task does not include response to comments on letters that may be received after close of the public review period but received prior to the public hearing. Dudek assumes the City will be responsible for any applicable filing fees (i.e., County Clerk posting fee and California Department of Fish and Wildlife filing fee). Task 6: Fiscal Analysis Pro Forma Advisors (Pro Forma) will provide targeted economic, financial, and implementation advisory services to support preparation of the CVEATC Master Plan. The scope is intentionally streamlined and focused on delivering practical, decision-oriented guidance that informs land use planning, partnership strategy, and long-term feasibility without requiring detailed design or engineering inputs. The work will begin with a concise review of existing plans, background materials, and publicly available data, including the prior Master Plan and relevant City policies. Pro Forma will establish a high-level economic and market context for the CVEATC, focusing on its role within the City’s regional economy. This task will also include a brief benchmarking review of comparable elite athlete training campuses and sports-oriented projects to identify relevant economic drivers, operational models, and redevelopment precedents. Placer.ai will be leveraged to attain near real-time understanding of the CVEATC’s ability to attract visitors in comparison to the identified benchmark facilities. Building on this baseline, Pro Forma will evaluate the financial and operational implications of preliminary land use and program concepts as they emerge from the planning process. This assessment will be conceptual in nature and will focus on relative capital intensity, lifecycle cost considerations, and financial characteristics of major program elements (e.g., training facilities, event venues, community uses, and commercial or partnership components). The objective is to identify risks, constraints, and sensitivities that should inform master planning decisions. Within this framework, Pro Forma’s role is to: Evaluate concepts through a financial feasibility lens; Identify cost implications; Assess revenue drivers and desired operational models; Highlight financial risks, sensitivities, and constraints; and Provide order-of-magnitude financial characteristics to inform planning decisions. Pro Forma will then assess potential financing strategies and public–private partnership opportunities appropriate for the Master Plan and the City’s fiscal capacity. This will include a screening of potential public funding sources, private investment and partnership structures, and alternative delivery models such as ground leases, concessions, or joint development arrangements. The analysis will focus on identifying viable pathways for implementation, clarifying potential roles of the City and private partners. Finally, Pro Forma will prepare a planning-level assessment of economic and fiscal impacts associated with redevelopment of the CVEATC. This will include order-of-magnitude estimates of economic activity, employment, and visitor spending effects, as well as high-level fiscal considerations for the City, based on reasonable Page 487 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 8 assumptions and clearly stated limitations appropriate to a master planning effort. The results will be structured for direct inclusion in the Master Plan and for use in stakeholder and decision-maker discussions. This planning-level feedback ensures that concepts advancing through the Master Plan process are grounded in economic reality without providing detailed modeling before program parameters are defined. However, Pro Forma Advisors can provide detailed optional add-on tasks should the City require additional analysis. These could include: 1. Detailed Operating Pro Forma Modeling: Pro Forma Advisors will prepare detailed, muti-year operating projections to evaluate revenue potential, cost structure, and overall financial performance. This analysis would include revenue modeling by source operating expense estimates by major category, and calculation of net operating income and coverage metrics over a 10-year stabilization horizon. Assumptions will be clearly documented and tested through sensitivity scenarios to assess performance under conservative, base, and upside conditions. The objective is to provide decision-grade insight into operating sustainability, required subsidy levels (if any), and long-term profitability potential to inform implementation and partnership strategy. 2. Detailed Fiscal Impact Modeling: Pro Forma Advisors will prepare a comprehensive fiscal impact analysis to estimate the net revenues and costs to the City associated with redevelopment. This task would include multi-scenario modeling of key municipal revenue streams (e.g., property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, lease revenues, and user fees), phased buildout assumptions, and operating cost considerations for City services. The analysis would distinguish between one-time and recurring revenues, estimate timing of fiscal flows over a 10–20 year horizon, and evaluate net fiscal impacts under conservative, base, and upside scenarios. The objective is to provide decision-makers with a clear understanding of long-term fiscal sustainability, funding capacity, and potential budget exposure associated with implementation alternatives. 3. Public-Private Partnership Financial Structure: Pro Forma Advisors will evaluate and model alternative delivery and partnership structures to support implementation of the Master Plan. This task would include comparative analysis of City-led development, ground lease structures, concession agreements, joint ventures, and other public-private arrangements. For selected scenario, Pro Forma will prepare cash flow allocation models identifying revenue sharing, capital responsibilities, operating risk distribution, and return expectations by party. The analysis will assess financial feasibility, funding gaps, and risk transfer considerations, and outline the fiscal and policy implications for the City. The objective is to clarify viable partnership pathways, align incentives between public and private stakeholders, and support informed negotiation and implementation strategy. Deliverables All findings summarized into a concise technical report Assumptions Pro Forma will provide one draft of the technical report. Page 488 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 9 OPTIONAL Task 7: Additional Community Outreach The following additional, optional tasks are included should the City and EAS wish to develop a more robust outreach programming to cast a wider net: Subtask 7.1 Marketing and Digital Engagement Our team can create a project webpage hosted on the City’s website to provide visually rich informational materials, a calendar of project activities, FAQs, and other community-building tools. Building upon digital engagement activities, Dudek can work with City staff to develop a survey, digital engagement activities, as well as informational materials for the project website. Subtask 7.2 Community Events The Dudek team can work with City staff and EAS to identify appropriate tabling events, “popping” into existing community events and meeting people where they are in the City, such as farmers markets, street fairs, or other community events. Dudek can facilitate up to three community tabling events/pop-ups and prepare appropriate materials to support the events. These events would bring awareness of the project and engage the community in convenient and innovative ways. Our team uses a variety of materials and tools to make the most of every engagement opportunity. These events may include posters, mapping activities, sticker dot exercises, interactive installations, and other means of gathering input. A community tabling event may also be replaced by an additional community open house workshop if the City prefers. Subtask 7.3 Interested Party Engagement The Dudek outreach team can facilitate two additional 45- minute focused neighborhood conversations/listening sessions. These neighborhood conversations provide valuable benefits to the process, such as revealing key opportunity areas; gaining valuable feedback; and building trust and conducting community members for information sharing and garnering community support. OPTIONAL Task 8: CEQA Technical Studies While details for expanded training, recreation, and other programming are not known at this time, for purposes of our scope of services for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA), we have assumed that any future expansion on the CVEATC campus would be limited to the developed footprint of the current campus. Specifically, vegetated slopes and canyon bottoms within the current boundary of the CVEATC would not be developed as a result of CVEATC Master Plan identified improvements. Furthermore we assumed preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) as described in Task 5, CEQA. Depending on the details and planning of the site, these additional optional technical studies identified herein may be required to support the MND. Subtask 8.1 Biological Resources Biological Reconnaissance Survey Prior to conducting field surveys, Dudek will review the review the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), City’s Multiple Species Conservation Plan Subarea Plan, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and San Diego Geographic Information Source (SanGIS) databases to identify special-status species that are known to occur or may potentially occur within the project study area. Dudek will also identify the limits of the City’s Multi-Habitat Preserve Area (MHPA) and determine if the project is considered adjacent. Page 489 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 10 Dudek will conduct a general biological reconnaissance survey in order to create a baseline biological resources map of vegetation communities present and any special-status species locations observed during the survey. Vegetation communities within the Project area identified for direct impacts and a 100-foot buffer (Biological Study Area) will be mapped and identified. Vegetation communities within the Biological Study Area will be mapped on a 100-scale topographic/aerial photographic field map, based on a Holland (1986) classification system and revised Holland (Oberbauer 2005 and 2008). Assumptions Four (4) person days would be needed to complete the reconnaissance survey. The entire site is safely accessible to field personnel. Biological Resources Technical Report Dudek will prepare a biological resources technical report (BRTR) for the project that will answers the CEQA threshold questions for biological resources and to facilitate coordination with the resource agencies for permit applications. The report include a description of the project and Biological Study Area, will describe biological resource survey methods, summarize survey results, and include analysis of the potential significance of impacts resulting from the Project with associated avoidance and mitigation measures, as applicable. The BRTR will include a discussion of the survey methodology according to the appropriate protocol and adequacy of the surveys for the study area. Vegetation communities and special-status botanical and wildlife resources will be described in terms of their regional significance and potential presence on the site, including an estimate of any observed special-status species’ population size and condition. A description of each vegetation community mapped within the study area will include information found in a literature review (Oberbauer et al. 2008, etc.) as well as project-specific data recorded in the field, such as general species composition, a brief description of location, and any notes pertaining to habitat quality or level of disturbance. All botanical and wildlife resources observed or with potential to occur on site will be analyzed. Additionally, species with any reasonable potential to constrain the project will also be addressed. A table summarizing the special-status plant and wildlife species that could occur in the project vicinity, but which have no reasonable potential to occur or otherwise constrain the project, will be included but not discussed further. Graphics will be included that show all plant and wildlife species encountered and identified will be recorded to include as an appendix to the report. The BRTR will include an impacts analysis based on one (1) iteration of the project design with an assessment of the significance of the impacts, and assignment of applicable project design features and/or avoidance and mitigation measures. Proposed compensatory mitigation requirements for impacts to sensitive resources will be discussed in terms of the regional planning efforts and state and federal laws and guidelines. Figures will be prepared to illustrate the location of the study area, extent of each vegetation community mapped within the study area, locations of any special-status plant or wildlife species observed, and the proposed project impacts. A draft of the BRTR will be provided to the client prior to submittal. Deliverables Draft version of the BRTR (Microsoft Word and PDF files) Compiled final PDF version of the BRTR, including one (1) round of response to City comments Microsoft Word and PDF files) Page 490 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 11 Assumptions This scope does not include a formal aquatic resources delineation or focused species surveys. Should either of these tasks be required based on specific improvement plans identified in the Master Plan, Dudek can prepare a separate scope of work. The client will review the draft BRTR once and provide one round of comments. A complete project description would be provided with sufficient detail to analyze impacts to biological resources. GIS files of all direct (permanent and/or temporary) project impacts would be provided. It is assumed that there would be no substantial changes to the project description prior to initiation of substantial work on the BRTR. This scope includes one (1) round of review by the City and revisions to the report. This scope assumes that no permitting assistance is required. If determined to be required, Dudek can provide a separate scope and fee for permitting assistance. Subtask 8.2 Cultural Resources Dudek understands that the City is lead agency on this project for purposes of CEQA compliance. At this point, no federal nexus has been identified that would require compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Should compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA be required at a later date, Dudek will prepare a separate scope of work and budget for Section 106 compliance documentation and support. Dudek’s cultural resources inventory will include a California Historical Resource Information Systems (CHRIS) records search, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Land Files (SLF) search, intensive pedestrian survey, and report preparation. Records Search Dudek will begin by conducting a California Historical Resources Information Systems (CHRIS) records search of the project area of potential effect (APE) and a 1-mile radius at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), which will house cultural resource records for San Diego County. The purpose of the records search is to identify any previously recorded cultural resources that may be located within the project area. In addition to a review of previously prepared site records and reports, the records search will also provide information on historical maps of the project APE, ethnographies, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the California Historic Property Data File, and the lists of California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility. Finally, a review of historical maps and aerials will be conducted to better determine the history of land use and disturbance within the project APE. Deliverables None Assumptions/Caveats: Direct fees for the SCIC records search will not exceed $1,000. Page 491 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 12 Native American Coordination Sacred Lands File and Inquiry Letters Dudek will contact the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for a review of its Sacred Lands File (SLF). The NAHC will determine whether any NAHC-listed Native American sacred lands are located within or adjacent to the project APE. With permission from the client, Dudek will prepare and mail a letter to each of the NAHC-listed contacts, requesting that they contact us if they know of any Native American cultural resources within or immediately adjacent to the project APE. This process is to inform the cultural resources inventory and does not constitute consultation with tribes. Assumptions No more than 20 Native American contacts will require contact; however, the exact number may vary Assembly Bill (AB) 52 formal consultation or other tribal outreach, if required, will be conducted by the City. Should the City desire assistance during the tribal consultation process, we will be pleased to provide an augmented scope and cost for the City’s review and authorization. Pedestrian Survey Upon completion of background research and confirmation if notification is required, Dudek will conduct a pedestrian survey of the approximately 155-acre project APE (APNs 643-040-2800, 643-040-2500, 643-040- 2700, 643-040-2600) for cultural resources (including both prehistoric and historic archaeological resources). Dudek will subcontract a Kumeyaay Native American monitor from Red Tail Environmental who will participate in the survey. This task will consist of an intensive-level pedestrian survey, conducted by the Dudek archaeologist and Kumeyaay Native American monitor, for all accessible portions of the project APE. Assumptions The survey will be negative for archaeological resources (i.e., no newly discovered archaeological resources will be encountered, and no previously recorded resources will require updates). Therefore, it is assumed that no archaeological resource evaluations will be conducted, nor will any artifacts be collected during the survey. Should any new archaeological resources be encountered during the survey requiring recordation, we will work with the City to augment this scope and cost as appropriate. Dudek assumes that the survey will require two qualified archaeologist and one Kumeyaay Native American monitor working one day to complete. Cultural Resources Survey Report Dudek will prepare a cultural resources technical letter report that will summarize the results of the records searches, Native American coordination, background research, and cultural resources survey. The report will discuss the project description, regulatory framework, all sources consulted, research and field methodology, setting, and findings. In addition, the report will discuss the project’s potential to impact cultural resources under CEQA and will provide mitigation measures and recommendations as appropriate. The draft cultural resources letter report will be presented electronically, in pdf format. The estimated schedule for completion of the draft cultural resources letter report is 6 to 8 weeks from Notice to Proceed (NTP). Deliverables Draft and Final Cultural Resources Survey Report (PDF; electronic submittal) Page 492 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 13 Assumptions/Caveats No more than one (1) round of comments from the City will require response for the cultural resources survey report. Subtask 8.3 Fire Protection Planning Data Review Dudek will compile the most recent digital information including site and grading plans for incorporation into the fire protection analysis, fuel modification plan, site’s fire behavior models and GIS exhibits. Dudek will evaluate the site plan to determine potential code compliance issues. Site Risk Assessment Dudek will conduct site specific risk assessment and field data collection that will be used for completing the overall project risk assessment and fire behavior modeling analysis. Among the field tasks that will be completed are: Vegetation measurements and mapping refinements Fuel load analysis (current and historic) Topographic features documentation Photograph documentation Off-site land uses and fuel status Confirmation/verification of hazard assumptions Access/egress documentation Post field data processing and organization Fire Behavior Modeling Dudek will conduct fire behavior modeling as part of this scope; fire behavior modeling is a cost-effective means for determining priority hazard areas, graphically portraying them in the FPP, and determining/supporting suitable defensible space distances and/or other measures that would provide fire protection. A Dudek fire behavior modeler for this Project would help substantiate and inform determination of the area’s fire environment and wildfire that it may produce in terms of flame lengths and fire intensity utilizing BehavePlus (V 6.0). Fire behavior modeling can help substantiate the risk presented by specific conditions of the project area and help determine the type of fuel modification and structural enhancements that will be required to reduce the potential fire hazard. We will prepare one model exhibit indicating each fire behavior model run throughout the site. We anticipate modeling up to four locations representing different fuel types around the project perimeter and on the adjacent lands as dictated by our site observations. We will also provide a model that indicates the post-project, fuel modification zone fire behavior reductions. In addition, a Fire History Exhibit will be prepared with the use of GIS indicating the number of fires that have burned in the area since documentation was initiated (late 1800’s). The exhibit will be a color-graphic portraying fire perimeter throughout the project area and within its vicinity. This information will be incorporated into our analysis and recommendations. Page 493 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 14 Deliverables GIS Fire Behavior Modeling Exhibit (electronic submittal) Fire Protection Plan Preparation Dudek will prepare an FPP summarizing Project details and code compliance per Chula Vista Fire Department CVFD) format. We will utilize an FPP standard that includes the components necessary to evaluate risk, provide measures to mitigate that risk and support the project’s compliance with fire protection requirements. FPPs effectively memorialize risk-based requirements of projects with input and final approval by the Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction (FAHJ). Goals of the project’s FPP are to minimize and mitigate fire issues created by the project and to reduce the impact the project may have on the local fire protection delivery system. For the proposed project, it is anticipated that the FPP will be used to document the projects’ conformance with codes, particularly regarding fuel modification zone provisions, road and circulation design, emergency access, and water supply, amongst others. The FPP will detail provisions for alternative materials and methods for providing the same practical effect for project features that cannot comply strictly with the code. Our goal will be to avoid changes in the project footprint or creating additional, unanalyzed impacts to the extent feasible. Based on our experience over the last few years, we also propose to provide an analysis that can be utilized within the EIR’s Wildfire Chapter to address the project’s potential impacts on the environment and existing communities. This section will address how the provided features that protect the project provide a dual benefit of protecting against on-site fires escaping to off-site habitats. The FPP will include sections addressing the following components: Introduction: Site and project descriptions, applicable codes/existing regulations Setting and Risk Assessment: site characteristics and fire environment Fire Behavior Modeling Analysis Emergency Response and Service Roads and Circulation: road design, emergency access/egress, secondary egress Building Construction Requirements Fire Protection Requirements: water supply, hydrants, fire protection systems Defensible Space and Vegetation Management: fuel modification zones, maintenance requirements Mitigation Measures: consistent with the unique problems resulting from the location, topography, geology, flammable vegetation, and climate of the proposed site Exhibits: Project location, Site plan, Fire Hazard Severity Zones, Fire History, Fire Behavior Analysis, Fuel Modification Plan Evacuation (wedding facilities have special considerations) Offsite Impact Analysis and Conclusions Alternative Materials and Methods: proposing measures for “same practical effect” for non-conformance, if necessary Deliverables Draft Fire Protection Plan (PDF file; submitted electronically) Revised Submittal Draft Fire Protection Plan (PDF file; submitted electronically) Final Fire Protection Plan (PDF file; submitted electronically) Page 494 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 15 Assumptions Scope includes one review, comment, and revision cycle with the City and one review, comment and revision cycle with the CVFD. The draft FPP will be submitted electronically for City review. A pdf file of the FPP will be submitted for CVFD review and the final FPP will be an electronic submittal, if requested. Dudek assumes up to 4 hours for responding to client team and CVFD comments. Extensive comments that require additional time may require additional budget to complete. Subtask 8.4 Noise Project Information Review and Request for Information Dudek will review available current information on the Project—including its locations of up to five (5) contemplated major new/renovated structures or facilities and thus construction areas and their distances with respect to offsite nearest noise-sensitive receivers (NSR). Dudek will prepare and send to the City (or authorized partner [e.g., EAS] or third party) a data request (including questions and suggested modeling input assumptions), the prompt and detailed response to which will facilitate predictive modeling that supports the noise impact assessment. Existing Noise Measurements Because Section 19.68.030.B.4 of the City’s municipal code allows its default (Table III) exterior noise limits to be replaced by—if higher—measured outdoor ambient sound levels, a Dudek field investigator will perform attended sound level monitoring on publicly-accessible property at up to eight (8) representative “short-term” (ST, 15 minutes duration each) onsite and/or offsite survey locations during daytime hours. Such positions are likely to include or functionally represent the nearby offsite residential neighborhoods in the vicinity of the CVEATC including Sweet Gum Place, Black Gum Court, New Hope Community Church, Athens Road, Paseo Carina, and Cielo Circulo. Additionally, Dudek will deploy up to two (2) “long-term” (LT, 25 consecutive hours duration each) unattended sound pressure level (SPL) monitors to quantify and help characterize the baseline sound environment for the Project study area, including trends in changing sound levels over the course of a typical diurnal cycle due to influence from transportation routes (State Route 125 and local roadways), water treatment facilities, Otay Lake area park and commercial operations, and residential community activities. These SPL readings will be measured using instruments that satisfy the relevant American National Standards Institute ANSI) standards for a Type 1 or Type 2 sound level meter (SLM). Roadway Traffic Noise Modeling Using existing and projected future traffic volume data from publicly available sources (e.g., San Diego Association of Governments [SANDAG] Transportation Forecast Information Center [TFIC]) and a Project traffic impact analysis TIA) prepared by others for input (and thus not part of this proposed noise scope), Dudek will apply the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM, RD-77-108 or newer using “Calveno” curves) or a comparable method at its discretion to estimate traffic noise levels at up to four (4) distinct perpendicular distances from each of up to four (4) nearby roadway segments (e.g., Olympic Parkway, Lake Crest Drive, Wueste Road, and Otay Lakes Road) for each of six (6) cases: existing, existing-plus-Project, future-year build-out (FYB), FYB+Project, Master Plan full build-out year (MPF), and MPF+Project. For purposes of this proposed traffic noise assessment, up to all five (5) of the planned near-term new or renovated facilities associated with Project implementation would—in aggregate—comprise “Project” volumes at the FYB year. The subsequent Project volumes at the MPF year would be another aggregate quantity; in other words, unless requested as an Additional Page 495 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 16 Service, we will not look at traffic noise impacts for individual new site-specific facilities implemented under the Master Plan. Stationary Source Operations Noise Modeling Outdoor noise emission to the offsite community from each of up to five (5) new near-term onsite facilities as a result of Project implementation will be predicted with an International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 9613-2 sound propagation prediction technique applied at Dudek discretion, with results compared to applicable standards. The modeling will consider, as appropriate, major anticipated noise-producing stationary (e.g., outdoor- exposed heating, ventilating, air-conditioning [HVAC] system components) sources and low-speed vehicle or parking lot movements. Average speech noise from expected onsite participants and spectators associated with hosted events or training activities at these new Project-attributed facilities will be included as appropriate. Output will be both tabulated for a set of up to eight (8) offsite NSR and graphically depicted as iso-pleths (a.k.a., “noise contours”) or color-coded adjoining annular regions of decibel ranges (e.g., 5 dB wide) across and beyond the Project site out to a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. Unless requested to be modeled with similar technique as an Additional Service, aggregate noise emission from existing onsite facilities will be considered “existing conditions” and be represented by SPL measurements. Construction Noise Evaluation Noise associated with construction activities associated with each of up to five (5) aforementioned Project implemented new/renovated facilities will be predicted with an FHWA Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) emulator, with results at up to two (2) nearest and/or representative offsite NSR compared to applicable standards. This task will also predict ground-borne vibration from Project construction activities with methodology per California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidance. Construction traffic noise will be evaluated in a manner similar to that proposed in the Roadway Traffic Noise Modeling task above, with emphasis on roadway segments along up to two (2) routes expected to bear the majority of Project construction worker, material delivery, and truck haul vehicle traffic. Deliverables Draft Construction Noise Evaluation (Word; electronic submittal) Final Construction Noise Evaluation (PDF; electronic submittal) Assumptions/Caveats Response to one round of comments from City review is included. Subtask 8.4.1 Noise: Community to Project Analysis Because CEQA noise and vibration impact significance criteria, as of January 2019 and aside from potential aviation noise exposure, examine only potential impacts from the Project to the community and not vice versa, this optional task would evaluate interior background noise levels, resulting from intrusion of offsite exterior roadway noise, at up to a total of fifteen (15) sample inhabited indoor spaces (associated with one or more new near-term facilities implemented as a result of the Project) to assess consistency with relevant California Building Code CBC) and/or City standards. The analysis methodology, prediction results and recommendations for any exterior- to-interior sound insulation features will be compiled into a detailed “Acoustical Study”. Deliverables Draft Community to Project Analysis (Word; electronic submittal) Page 496 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 17 Final Community to Project Analysis (PDF; electronic submittal) Assumptions Response to one round of comments from City review is included. Subtask 8.4.2 Noise: Land Use Compatibility Analysis Because CEQA noise and vibration impact significance criteria, as of January 2019 and aside from potential aviation noise exposure, examine only potential impacts from the Project to the community and not vice versa, this optional task would evaluate future exterior noise levels at up to a total of fifteen (15) onsite representative locations (e.g., proximate to facades or windows of newly occupied dwelling units or office spaces) as may be predicted from completion of Task 3 from the Scope of Work and based on monitored levels from performance of Task 2 from the Scope of Work. If these outdoor areas associated with one or more new near-term facilities implemented as a result of the Project does not appear to be within the “Clearly Acceptable” noise exposure zone as defined by the City’s General Plan, a Land Use Compatibility Acoustical Study (LUCAS) will present an acoustical analysis of exterior noise reducing features made possible by the Project’s architectural (or landscape) design, or acoustical upgrading, to yield onsite exposure levels that would be compatible with “Clearly Acceptable” noise thresholds. Deliverables Draft Land Use Compatibility Analysis (Word; electronic submittal) Final Land Use Compatibility Analysis (PDF; electronic submittal) Assumptions Response to one round of comments from City review is included. Subtask 8.4.3 Noise: Onsite Noise Source Analysis Because CEQA noise and vibration impact significance criteria, as of January 2019 and aside from potential aviation noise exposure, examine only potential impacts from the Project to the community and not vice versa, this optional task would evaluate exterior noise level exposures at up to a total of fifteen (15) representative newly occupied patio or balconies attributed to onsite outdoor-exposed HVAC sources and parking activities (e.g., low- speed vehicle movements) for the new near-term facilities (studied in Task 4) and implemented as a result of the Project and assess compliance with relevant City noise ordinance and Geneal Plan requirements. The analysis methodology, prediction results and recommendations for any sound attenuation or noise control upgrades will be compiled into a detailed “Onsite Noise Acoustical Study” (ONAS). Deliverables Draft Onsite Noise Source Analysis (Word; electronic submittal) Final Onsite Noise Source Analysis (PDF; electronic submittal) Assumptions Response to one round of comments from City review is included. Subtask 8.5 Transportation Dudek’s in-house transportation planners will prepare a CEQA-level transportation analysis that will address the project’s impacts using the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) metric per Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). Dudek will use the City’s Traffic Study Guidelines (TSG) (Adopted June 10, 2020, Revised January 2022) and project specific information to determine if the proposed project would be screened out or require a detailed VMT analysis. Page 497 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan 18 Dudek will submit a Project Information Form (PIF) outlining scope of the VMT analyses to the City’s Traffic Engineer for approval. Based on project characteristics, Dudek will use SANDAG’s SB 743 maps and project’s operational characteristics to determine whether the project would screen out or require a detailed analysis. An optional task to conduct a detailed VMT analysis is provided below (see Task 5.2.5.1). Dudek will complete the Transportation CEQA Appendix G Checklist in the projects’ CEQA document. This includes the project’s consistency with applicable plans and policies related to circulation, consistency with Section 15034 b), evaluation of hazards due to geometric design features and adequacy of emergency access. Dudek will identify the criteria used to determine significance; identify any direct and cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project and include appropriate mitigation measures that may be required. Dudek will also qualitatively analyze the transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities that serve the project site and evaluate whether the project decreases the performance or safety of such facilities. Deliverables Presentation of transportation analysis to be wholly within the EIR (Task 5.3). Assumptions The project would not add new access driveways or modify the circulation system in the vicinity of the existing CVEATC. This scope assumes three rounds of review of the transportation section by the City for the draft and final CEQA document, preparation of written responses to comments received during the public review period and incorporate necessary changes into the Final Environmental Document. This scope does not include preparation of a Local Mobility Analysis (LMA) for non-CEQA based on levels of service (LOS) metric. Should the City Traffic Engineer require additional non-CEQA analyses, Dudek will prepare the scope of work and request a budget augment. Subtask 8.5.1 Transportation: Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Dudek will review methodologies used for analyzing similar land uses and select the most appropriate methodology and metric for a detailed VMT analysis. The project site is within Census Tract 133.20 and the SANDAG Travel Demand model can be used to determine if the project would result in an increase in total VMT in the region. Alternatively, SANDAG’s SB 743 maps can be used to determine the project VMT for employees and operational data can be used to determine the project VMT for visitors. Appropriate significance threshold from the City’s Traffic Study Guidelines will be used to determine if the project would result in a VMT impact. If required, Dudek will identify project design features and mitigation measures to reduce project’s VMT. Deliverables The results of the VMT analysis and mitigation measures, if any, will be documented in a technical memorandum. Assumptions/Caveats This scope assumes one round of review from the City.

We understand the City is looking for additional analysis to support this ongoing effort and offer you our enclosed scope of work and fee. We appreciate the opportunity to continue work on this important project. If you have any questions about our qualifications or proposal for this project, please contact Carey Fernandes at 760.473.5879 or cfernandes@dudek.com or Ed Armstrong at 530.863.4269 or earmstrong@dudek.com. Sincerely, Ed Armstrong, AICP Project Manager Page 513 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 2 Project Understanding Scope of Work The tasks below are based upon the City’s Task Order request and outline the Dudek Team’s proposed strategy for accomplishing that objective. This Scope is in addition to the original scope of work submitted to the City on January 30, 2025. Task 6 California Environmental Quality Act Documentation Dudek is pleased to submit the following scope of work and fee estimate to the City of Chula Vista (City) to provide an Initial Study (IS)/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan (Master Plan or Project). The Master Plan, prepared by Dudek, includes the City’s plan for future improvements, programming, and stewardship of the 59.9-acre Rohr Park and the 133.5-acre Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course. The following is Dudek’s preliminary scope of work and cost estimate to prepare an IS/MND for the Master Plan, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). TASK 6.1 PROJECT INITIATION AND PREPARATION OF PROJECT DESCRIPTION Project initiation includes gathering information, reviewing existing information, coordinating the points of contact for the City staff and Dudek team, and preparing the project description. Dudek would initiate a data request for the analysis and schedule a kickoff meeting with the City. Dudek would prepare an agenda and meeting notes for the kickoff meeting. The kickoff meeting will include an introduction of the Dudek CEQA team and City staff, review of the CEQA approach and scope, budget, communication protocols, and discussion of key and/or controversial issues. A Project Description meeting the requirements of CEQA shall be prepared based on the Master Plan drafted by Dudek and after all required information is received from the City. Dudek will distribute electronic copies of the Project Description to the City, including a Microsoft Word file for easy review and editing. Task 6.1 Assumptions: One round of data needs requests to be provided as a list of questions presented in a stand-alone document or as placeholders in the Project Description One round of review and comment on the Project Description by the City The City will provide sufficient information to prepare a detailed project description within one month of Project kick-off Task 6.1 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the kick-off meeting agenda and notes Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the Project Description Cost for Task 6.1 $3,000.00 TASK 6.2 TECHNICAL STUDIES The following technical reports would be prepared to support the analysis in the IS/MND for the Master Plan. It is assumed that the Project description prepared in Task 6.1 would remain stable through Task 6.2. If Project Description changes occur, the scope and budget would be revisited accordingly. Dudek assumes field surveys are only required for the newly disturbed areas within the Project site, which is estimated to be approximately 10 acres. If it is determined that additional acreages of the Project require surveys, we will work with you to augment this scope and cost as appropriate. Page 514 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 3 Task 6.2.1 Cultural Resource Letter Report The following tasks serve to provide an assessment of impacts to cultural resources in conformance with the California CEQA for the proposed Project. Dudek understands that the City is lead agency on this project for purposes of CEQA compliance. All services proposed will be provided on a time-and-materials basis in compliance with CEQA, City Guidelines, and that at this point, no federal nexus has been identified that would require compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Dudek’s cultural resources inventory will include a California Historical Resource Information Systems (CHRIS) records search, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Land Files SLF) search, intensive pedestrian survey, and report preparation. Records Search Dudek will begin by conducting a CHRIS records search of the Project area and a 1-mile radius at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), which will house cultural resource records for San Diego County. The purpose of the records search is to identify any previously recorded cultural resources that may be located within the Project area. Dudek assumes the direct fees for the SCIC records search will not exceed $1,000. In addition to a review of previously prepared site records and reports, the records search will also provide information on historical maps of the Project area, ethnographies, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the California Historic Property Data File, and the lists of California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility. Finally, a review of historical maps and aerials will be conducted to better determine the history of land use and disturbance within the Project area. Native American Coordination Sacred Lands File and Inquiry Letters Dudek will contact the California NAHC for a review of its SLF. The NAHC will determine whether any NAHC-listed Native American sacred lands are located within or adjacent to the Project area. With permission from the City, Dudek will prepare and mail a letter to each of the NAHC-listed contacts, requesting that they contact us if they know of any Native American cultural resources within or immediately adjacent to the Project area. We assume no more than 20 Native American contacts will require contact; however, the exact number may vary. This process is to inform the cultural resources inventory and does not constitute consultation with tribes. We assume that Assembly Bill (AB) 52 formal consultation or other tribal outreach, if required, will be conducted by the City. Should the City desire assistance during the tribal consultation process, we will be pleased to provide an augmented scope and cost for the City’s review and authorization. Pedestrian Survey Upon completion of background research and confirmation if notification is required, Dudek will conduct a pedestrian survey of the approximately 9.56-acre area for cultural resources (including both prehistoric and historic archaeological resources). Dudek assumes surveys are only required for the newly disturbed areas which is estimated to be 9.56 acres. If it is determined that additional acreages of the Project require pedestrian surveys, we will work with you to augment this scope and cost as appropriate. Dudek will subcontract a Kumeyaay Native American monitor from Red Tail Environmental who will participate in the survey. The archaeological survey will consist of an intensive-level pedestrian survey, conducted by the Dudek archaeologist and Kumeyaay Native American monitor, for all accessible portions of the project APE. For the purposes of this scope of work and cost estimate, Dudek assumes that the survey will be negative for archaeological resources (i.e., no newly discovered archaeological resources will be encountered, and no previously recorded resources will require updates). Therefore, it is assumed that no archaeological resource evaluations will be conducted, nor will any artifacts be collected during the survey. Should any new archaeological resources be encountered during the survey requiring recordation, we will work with you to augment this scope and cost as appropriate. Dudek Page 515 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 4 assumes that the survey will require one qualified archaeologist and one Kumeyaay Native American monitor working one day to complete. Cultural Resources Survey Report Dudek will prepare a cultural resources technical letter report that will summarize the results of the records searches, Native American coordination, background research, and cultural resources survey. The report will discuss the Project description, regulatory framework, all sources consulted, research and field methodology, setting, and findings. In addition, the report will discuss the Project’s potential to impact cultural resources under CEQA and will provide mitigation measures and recommendations as appropriate. The draft cultural resources letter report will be presented electronically, in pdf format. Dudek assumes no more than two rounds of comments from the City will require response for the cultural resources letter report. The estimated schedule for completion of the draft cultural resources letter report is 6 to 8 weeks from Notice to Proceed (NTP). Task 6.2.1 Assumptions: There is no federal nexus that would require compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA Direct fees for the SCIC records search will not exceed $1,000 No more than 20 Native American contacts will require contact to inform the cultural resources inventory AB 52 formal consultation or other tribal outreach, if required, will be conducted by the City Pedestrian surveys are only required for the newly disturbed areas which is estimated to be 9.56 acres Dudek assumes that the pedestrian survey will be negative for archaeological resources and no archaeological resource evaluations will be conducted, nor will any artifacts be collected during the survey Dudek assumes that the survey will require one qualified archaeologist and one Kumeyaay Native American monitor working one half day to complete No more than two rounds of comments from the City will require response for the cultural resources letter report Task 6.2.1 Deliverables: Electronic copy (pdf) of the Cultural Resources Letter Report Cost for Task 6.2.1 $9,890.00 Task 6.2.2 Biological Resources Technical Report Biological Reconnaissance Survey Prior to conducting field surveys, Dudek will review available biological resource databases and plans, including the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), and San Diego Geographic Information Source (SanGIS) databases to identify special-status species known or with potential to occur within the project study area. Dudek will also identify the limits of the City’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHPA) and determine whether the project is considered adjacent to the MHPA. Dudek will conduct a general biological reconnaissance survey to establish baseline biological conditions and map vegetation communities and any special-status species observed. Vegetation communities within the approximately 10- acre area and a 100-foot buffer (Biological Study Area) will be mapped and identified. Vegetation mapping will be conducted using a 1"=100’ scale topographic and aerial photographic field map based on the Holland (1986) classification system as modified by Oberbauer et al. (2008). This scope assumes one person-days to complete vegetation mapping and that a golf cart will be available for use during the reconnaissance-level survey. Page 516 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 5 Biological Resources Technical Report Dudek will prepare a Biological Resources Technical Report (BTR) for the project to address the CEQA significance criteria for biological resources. The BTR will describe the project and Biological Study Area, summarize survey methods and results, and analyze the potential significance of project impacts with associated avoidance and mitigation measures, as applicable. The BTR will document survey methodology consistent with appropriate reconnaissance-level practices. Vegetation communities and special-status botanical and wildlife resources will be described in terms of regional significance and potential presence on the site, including estimates of observed special-status species population size and condition where applicable. Each mapped vegetation community will be described using both literature sources (e.g., Holland 1986; Oberbauer et al. 2008) and project-specific field data, including dominant species composition, general location, and habitat quality or disturbance level. All botanical and wildlife resources observed or with potential to occur on the site will be evaluated. Species with reasonable potential to constrain the project will be fully analyzed. A table summarizing special-status species with no reasonable potential to occur or constrain the project will be included for completeness but not discussed further. Graphics will be prepared showing vegetation communities, locations of special-status species observations, and project impact areas. A complete species list of all plant and wildlife species observed will be included as an appendix to the report. The BTR will include an impact analysis based on one iteration of the project footprint, including assessment of impact significance and identification of applicable project design features, avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. Proposed compensatory mitigation will be discussed in the context of regional planning efforts and applicable state and federal regulations. Figures will illustrate the Biological Study Area, vegetation communities, special-status species locations, and proposed project impacts. A draft BTR will be provided to the City for review prior to finalization. Task 6.2.2 Assumptions: Dudek will receive one round of consolidated comments from the City Focused, protocol-level surveys are not included An aquatic resources delineation is not included Agency coordination is not included in this scope of work The entire site is assumed to be safely accessible to field personnel A complete project description will be provided with sufficient detail to analyze biological impacts GIS shapefiles of all permanent and temporary project impacts will be provided No substantial changes to the project description will occur after initiation of BTR preparation One person-day is assumed to be needed to complete vegetation mapping A golf cart will be available for use during the reconnaissance-level survey Task 6.2.2 Deliverables: Draft version of the BTR (Microsoft Word and PDF files) Compiled final PDF version of the BTR Cost for Task 6.2.2 $16,705.00 Task 6.2.3 Noise Study Dudek understands that the City has requested the preparation of a concise noise technical study to support the Project, which currently contemplates a Preferred Plan (from two previously considered Alternatives) having an anticipated feature set of distinct recreational facilities. The Project is on the site of the existing Rohr Park, bound by Willow Street to the west, Bonita Road to the south, and Sweetwater Road to the north. Nearest apparent offsite noise-sensitive receivers NSR) include multiple places of worship and residential neighborhoods, such as Bonita to the south. The noise analysis Page 517 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 6 scope of work, intending to prepare a deliverable that may be referenced by or reproduced into the MND and external to this proposed task set is as follows: 1. Info Review and Data Request – Dudek will review available preliminary project design information provided by the Client (or an authorized third party). We will also review land use or zoning maps, relevant regulations, ordinances, noise element policies, etc. to identify any recent updates that may affect noise and/or vibration impact assessment. As needed, we will prepare and submit a detailed data request for identifying information needs, and a list of proposed assumptions for client review and approval (or revision), the response to which should facilitate noise and vibration level prediction. 2. Evaluate the Existing Environmental Settings – We will estimate the existing (a.k.a., baseline or pre-project) outdoor ambient sound environment in the vicinities of up to six (6) offsite nearest NSR using a method at Dudek discretion (e.g., based upon Federal Transit Administration [FTA] guidance with respect to population density and/or proximity to surface transportation routes). If the Client desires measured sound levels to support these estimates, please refer to Optional Task 8 that follows this proposed Scope of Work. 3. Predict Construction Noise and Vibration – We will predict project construction noise at the nearest offsite representative NSR with a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model RCNM) emulator. Prediction output will be tabulated for up to two sample facilities or features for the aforementioned Preferred Plan and compared with relevant City standards or those of other agencies (e.g., FTA). We will also predict ground-borne vibration propagation from project site construction activities at the same nearest NSRs (up to six from Task 2) using expressions per FTA and/or California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) guidance. 4. Predict Offsite Roadway Traffic Noise – Using traffic volume data (not vehicle miles travelled [VMT]) from the Client or as available from other sources, we will assess changes to offsite roadway traffic noise resulting from Project installation with FHWA RD-77-108 or an alternate method at Dudek discretion for up to four scenarios – existing, existing + project, cumulative (i.e., project full build-out year), and cumulative project along up to four distinct roadway segments. A set of predictions will be prepared for the Preferred Plan. Traffic noise changes attributed to Project construction trips (i.e., cars, haul trucks, delivery vehicles) on the anticipated major travel route will be evaluated with a comparable technique at Dudek discretion. 5. Predict Onsite Stationary Operations Noise Emission – For a concept plan associated with the Preferred Plan, and up to two corresponding modeled scenarios (e.g., daytime and nighttime operations), we will predict noise emission to the offsite community from onsite major project outdoor-exposed stationary noise sources (i.e., HVAC systems, low-speed vehicle movements on parking lots, speech and/or music from sports or other outdoor gatherings) using an ISO 9613-2 based prediction model, with tabulated results. 6. Draft Deliverable – Summarized results and findings from performance of Tasks 2 through 5 will be compiled into a concise draft noise report (or technical memorandum) with accompanying technical attachments (e.g., model input detail) for submission to the Client. 7. Response to Comments – By way of edits to the draft noise report of Task 6, Dudek will respond to a single round of comments from the City (or client). Task 6.2.3 Assumptions: Any work not disclosed herein would be considered Additional Services and may be estimated upon request. By way of examples, the following are Optional Tasks not included in this scope and estimate for Client consideration: Short-term Attended Baseline SPL Survey: With short-duration (i.e., up to 15 minutes each) sound pressure level (SPL) measurements performed with a portable American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Type 1 or 2 attended sound level meter (SLM) during daytime hours in a single field visit (including round-trip travel to and from a nearby Dudek office) by an attending Dudek field investigator, we will conduct a brief field survey to empirically quantify baseline outdoor ambient sound levels at up to a total of six (6) sample onsite and offsite locations representing the closest NSR to the project site. If elected, summarized SPL data and documented observations (of witnessed or perceived acoustical contributors to the measured environment) will inform and be compiled into an appendix to the draft report or memorandum of Item 6. Page 518 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 7 Long-term Unattended Baseline SPL Survey: A visiting Dudek field investigator will deploy up to a total of three (3) ANSI Type 2 unattended SLM at fixed onsite or offsite positions; then, retrieve the SLMs after SPL data has been measured and stored to onboard memory, at successive one- minute (or other specified time period) intervals for over a minimum of twenty-five (25) consecutive hours. Summarized SPL data and documented observations (of witnessed or perceived acoustical contributors to the measured environment after deployment and/or before retrieval) will inform and be compiled into an appendix to the draft report or memorandum of Item 6. Anticipated Meeting Participation: As needed, a Dudek acoustician will join up to three, one-hour virtual meetings to discuss the noise study proposed herein. In an effort to recognize cost efficiencies and conserve resources, all deliverable(s) will be submitted in electronic format only. Therefore, no print production costs are included in the cost estimates. While Dudek may include manufacturer sketches or other information to illustrate noise reduction concepts, no shop/production drawing preparation is included in the proposed scope of work Although Dudek will check weather forecasts ahead of any field visit, Dudek is not responsible for unfavorable weather or other conditions outside of Dudek control that may delay or suspend collection of usable sound level data and thereby incur additional labor and/or other direct costs Task 6.2.3 Deliverables: Electronic copes (word and pdf) of the Noise Report or Technical Memorandum Cost for Task 6.2.3 $10,000.00 Task 6.2.4 Transportation Analysis Dudek’s in-house transportation planners will prepare a CEQA level transportation analysis for the Project. The 59.9-acre Rohr Park and the 133.5-acre Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course are contiguous open spaces that are accessible via multiple driveways along Sweetwater Road in the City of Chula Vista. The Master Plan has selected the Preferred Plan alternative which would include improved trail network, addition of active recreational facilities such as amphitheater, pickleball courts, tennis courts, replacement of playground amenities, replacement of Rohr Manor with a recreation center and dog park improvements. The project would not add new access driveways or modify the circulation system in the vicinity of the existing park. The technical memorandum will address the Project’s impacts using the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) metric per Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). roject is consistent with the City’s General Plan as well as the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Per City’s Traffic Study Guidelines (TSG) (Adopted June 10, 2020, Revised January 2022), the park is categorized as a community-purpose facility that serves the community and produces low VMT and can potentially divert existing trips from established local facilities. Based on City’s VMT screening criteria in the TSG, the Project would screen out and not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project’s impacts can be presumed to be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required. Dudek will prepare a technical memorandum to address the Transportation CEQA Appendix G Checklist in the Projects’ CEQA document. This includes the project’s consistency with applicable plans and policies related to circulation, consistency with Section 15034 (b), evaluation of hazards due to geometric design features and adequacy of emergency access. Dudek will also qualitatively analyze the transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities that serve the Project site and evaluate whether the project decreases the performance or safety of such facilities. This scope assumes one round of review of the transportation memorandum by the City. Dudek will incorporate City’s comments and prepare a final memorandum. The main findings of the transportation analysis will be incorporated in the Project’s MND document. Task 6.2.4 Assumptions: his scope does not include preparation of a Local Mobility Analysis (LMA) for non-CEQA based on levels of service (LOS) metric. Should the City Traffic Engineer require additional non-CEQA Page 519 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 8 analyses or other technical analyses for traffic, Dudek will prepare a separate scope of work and request a budget augment It is assumed that the Project would screen out and not require a detailed VMT analysis. However, if a detailed VMT is required, the VMT analysis has been included as an optional task with a separate estimate One round of review of the Transportation Technical Memorandum by the City is assumed Task 6.2.4 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and PDF) of the Transportation Technical Memorandum Cost for Task 6.2.4 $8,760.00 TASK 6.3 PREPARE IS/MND Dudek will prepare an IS Checklist and MND in accordance with CEQA and in coordination with the City’s Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC). This tasks includes the preparation of an IS and MND (administrative draft, screencheck draft, public review draft, and final MND) based on the Master Plan, information from the City provided for the project description in Task 1, and the technical studies in Task 2. It is assumed that the Project Description prepared in Task 1 would remain stable through Task 3. If Project Description changes occur, the scope and budget would be revisited accordingly. Dudek will distribute electronic copies of the IS and MND deliverables to the City, including a Microsoft Word file for easy review and editing. Task 6.3.1 IS Checklist Dudek will prepare an IS Checklist in accordance with CEQA. The IS Checklist will be provided to the City for review and comment. Dudek will address the City’s comments and revise the IS Checklist for inclusion in the Draft MND. Per the City of Chula Vista Environmental Review Public Notice guidelines, a Notice of IS would need to be circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the Project site. It is assumed City staff will compile the mailing list and prepare and mail the required noticing. If the City would like Dudek support in completing noticing requirements, this scope and estimate can be revisited accordingly. Task 6.3.1 Assumptions: No hard copies of the IS Checklist will be provided One round of review and comment on the IS Checklist by the City Noticing and distribution fees are not included in this scope The project description developed under Task 1 will not significantly change Task 6.3.1 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the IS Checklist Cost for Task 6.3.1 $5,380.00 Task 6.3.2 Administrative Draft MND Dudek will prepare the Administrative Draft MND in close cooperation with the City ERC and in accordance with CEQA. The Administrative Draft MND will include environmental analysis based on the Project Description prepared under Task 1 and the results of the technical studies prepared under Task 2. The document will identify potentially significant environmental effects and, in consultation with the City, Dudek will identify feasible measures to mitigate those effects to a less than significant level. The Administrative Draft MND will be provided to the City for review. Task 6.3.2 Assumptions: No hard copies of the Administrative Draft MND will be provided One round of City review and comment The project is subject to CEQA requirements and additional City-specific requirements are not included in this scope Task 6.3.2 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of Administrative Draft MND Cost for Task 6.3.2 $9,120.00 Page 520 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 9 Task 6.3.3 Screencheck Draft and Public Review Draft MND Upon receiving comments from the City on the Administrative Draft MND, Dudek will address the comments and revise the document to prepare the Screencheck Draft MND for review by the City. Comments on the Screencheck Draft MND are anticipated to be minor and are not anticipated to require significant updates or revisions to the analysis. Any significant changes required by this round of comments may require an update to this scope and estimate. Dudek will address minor comments from the City on the Screencheck Draft MND and revise the document to prepare the Public Review Draft MND. In addition to preparing the Public Review Draft MND, Dudek will prepare the Notice of Completion and Notice of Availability. Electronic versions of the Public Review Draft MND, Notice of Completion, and Notice of Availability will be submitted to the City to post online to initiate the public review period. If a Responsible Agency or Trustee Agency is involved, Dudek will file the Public Review Draft MND with the State Clearinghouse to initiate the associated 30-day public review period per the City of Chula Vista Environmental Review Public Notice guidelines. Notice of MND availability will either need to be sent to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the Project site or published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the Project. It is assumed City staff will compile the mailing list or contact the newspaper, and prepare and mail the required noticing. If the City would like Dudek support in completing noticing requirements, this scope and estimate can be revisited accordingly. Task 6.3.3 Assumptions: No hard copies of the Screencheck Draft of Public Review Draft MND will be provided One round of City review and comment on the Screencheck Draft MND Comments on the Screencheck Draft MND will be minor and do not require significant updates or revisions to the analysis Filing, noticing, and distribution fees are not included in this scope Filing with State Clearinghouse is assumed to be required Task 6.3.3 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of Screencheck Draft MND Electronic copies (word and pdf) of Public Review Draft MND, Notice of Completion, and Notice of Availability Cost for Task 6.3.3 $6,260.00 Task 6.3.4 Final MND Following conclusion of the public review period on the Public Review Draft MND, Dudek will address public comments, providing response to comments and revision to the Draft MND text if necessary. Dudek will catalog, bracket and categorize all comments on the Draft MND and prepare responses to comments for inclusion in the Final MND based on coordination with the City. This scope and estimate assumes up to 15 individual public comment letters on the Draft MND, with up to 40 individual comments total. A single comment letter may contain multiple individual comments. If comments raise new issues or require additional surveys or technical studies be conducted to complete an adequate response, Dudek will discuss options with the City and revisit the scope as necessary. In coordination with the City’s ERC, Dudek will prepare the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) for inclusion in the Final MND. The MMRP will include an overview of the mitigation measures, responsible party, and implementation timeline. Mitigation measures in the MMRP will account for comments received on the Draft MND as appropriate. The MMRP will be designed to ensure that all potentially significant impacts have the appropriate mitigation measures in place and that potential impacts remain at levels below significance. Based on the comments received, Dudek will prepare the Final MND for City review. The Final MND will include comment letters and responses, MMRP, preface, and a discussion of any minor edits made to the draft MND as a result of comments, if applicable. Upon final approval by the City, Dudek will provide the Final MND for certification and provide electronic copies of the Final MND. Dudek will prepare and file the Notice of Determination. Task 6.3.4 Assumptions: No hard copies of the Final MND will be provided Up to 15 individual comment letters, with up to 40 individual comments total, will be received during public review Page 521 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 10 One round of City review and comment on the responses to comments and Final MND Filing and distribution fees are not included in this scope Task 6.3.4 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the Final MND Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the Notice of Determination Cost for Task 6.3.4 $12,250.00 TASK 6.4 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS This task includes project management and administrative time for the Project, including attendance of meetings, coordination with the City, and attendance of hearings. The Dudek Project Manager will oversee internal staff, manage document review, review monthly invoices and prepare required invoice documentation. An average of one hour per week, for up to 20 weeks, of project management time is assumed. The Dudek Project Manager will attend up to three, one-hour meetings with the City, one Planning Commission hearing, and one City Council hearing. Task 6.4 Assumptions: Virtual attendance of the Project Manager at up to three, one-hour meetings with the City Up to one hour of project management time per week (up to 20 hours) In-person attendance of the Project Manager at one Planning Commission hearing and one City Council hearing (up to 4 hours each) Task 6.4 Deliverables: Attendance of meetings and hearings as described above Cost for Task 6.4 $7,750.00 TOTAL COST (NOT INCLUDING OPTIONAL TASKS) $89,115.00 OPTIONAL TASK 6.5 VEHICLES MILES TRAVELED ANALYSIS If the project does not screen out, an optional task to conduct a detailed VMT analysis is also provided. Dudek will submit a Project Information Form (PIF) to the City’s Traffic Engineer for approval and include it as an attachment to the technical memorandum. Dudek will review methodologies used for analyzing similar land uses and select the most appropriate methodology and metric for a detailed VMT analysis. The project site is within Census Tract 32.07 and the SANDAG Travel Demand model or a custom methodology may be used to determine if the project would result in an increase in total VMT in the region. Appropriate significance threshold from the City’s TSG will be used to determine if the project would result in a VMT impact. If required, Dudek will identify project design features and mitigation measures to reduce project’s VMT. The results of the VMT analysis and mitigation measures, if any, will be documented in a technical memorandum. This scope assumes one round of review from the City. Optional Task 6.5 Assumptions: One round of review of the VMT Technical Memorandum by the City is assumed Optional Task 6.5 Deliverables: Electronic copies (word and pdf) of the VMT Technical Memorandum Cost for Optional Task 6.5 $25,400.00 OPTIONAL TASK 6.6 BUILT ENVIRONMENT TECHNICAL REPORT Preliminary research identified three historic-age properties (45 years of age or older) that require consideration for potential impacts to historical resources under CEQA: the Chula Vista Golf Course (1961) and Rohr Park (1966), which are within the boundaries of the master plan area; and the Optimist Club at 4370 Sweetwater Road (c. 1953), which is Page 522 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 11 outside but directly adjacent to the Master Plan area. Due to the proximity of the historic-age Optimist Club to the Master Plan area, potential impacts on this resource from proposed improvements in the area would need to be considered. Dudek recommends evaluating the Optimist Club as part of this scope to determine whether or not this property requires consideration as a historical resource under CEQA. The evaluation would streamline the planning process for future development within the master plan area by eliminating the need re-evaluate the resource’s potential for historical significance. Rohr Park also incudes Rohr Manor (1938) and an Adobe House (c. 1938), which appear to have been previously evaluated for historical significance and are consequently not included in this scope of work. For scoping purposes, Dudek assumes that these three properties will require recordation and significance evaluations under NRHP, CRHR and applicable local criteria in the Built Environment Technical Report. Dudek assumes the following tasks will be necessary to complete the technical report in accordance with CEQA guidelines: A. Records Search Review B. Interested Parties Outreach C. Area of Potential Impacts Map D. Field Survey E. Background Property Specific Research (no more than three properties: the Chula Vista Golf Course, Rohr Park, and the Optimist Club) F. Prepare California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 form sets for no more than three properties. G. Prepare and Finalize Technical Report (including historic context development) The analysis conducted in this technical report will be used in the development of the Cultural Resources section of the environmental document. Relevant data from the technical report will be used to support the findings in the environmental document. The technical report will be included as an appendix to the environmental document. Dudek assumes that no buildings or structures in the API will be found to be historical resources under CEQA and the likely CEQA finding for historical resources will be No Impact. Should this assumption change over the course of the Project Dudek an augmentation to this scope and cost will be required. Optional Task 6.6 Assumptions: Rohr Manor appears to have been previously evaluated for historical significance and found not eligible. Dudek assumes that this previous evaluation will be sufficient for compliance under CEQA. Should this assumption change after reviewing the previous documentation, a budget augment will be required to evaluate the property and/or update the previous documentation for compliance under CEQA Dudek assumes that the Adobe House located adjacent to the Rohr Manor was also previously evaluated. If this property has not been previously evaluated or if the documentation is not sufficient for compliance under CEQA, a budget augment will be required to evaluate the property and/or update the previous documentation for compliance under CEQA The City of Chula Vista will provide the previous documentation prepared for Rohr Manor and the Adobe House, which may include but may not be limited to historical resource evaluation report(s) and structural assessment report(s) The Area of Potential Impacts will be limited to the boundaries of the master plan area and the immediately adjacent Optimist Club at 4370 Sweetwater Road. No additional adjacent historic- age properties will require inventory and evaluation The records search request is covered under the cultural/archaeology scope of work No more than three properties will require evaluations No more than two (one draft and one final) versions of the technical report and DPR form sets will be prepared Fieldwork will be limited to one architectural historian working no more than 10-hours (which includes travel and photo processing time) No more than two (one draft and one final) versions of the API map will be prepared Comments from the CEQA lead agency and/or the client will be editorial in nature and not require additional field survey or background research Client will coordinate access to the properties, as needed Page 523 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 12 Meetings with the client or CEQA lead agency will not be necessary for this task An impact assessment will not be required and development or implementation of mitigation will not be necessary Optional Task 6.6 Deliverables: Electronic copy (pdf) of the Built Environment Technical Report Cost for Optional Task 6.6 $21,768.00 Task 7 Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Analysis TASK 7.1 PRELIMINARY HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULIC ANALYSES Dudek will perform preliminary hydrology and hydraulic analyses of the Sweetwater River reach within Rohr Park to provide the City a screen-level understanding of issues and identify potential solutions to support the Master Plan. The onset of the task will include existing data review including available hydrology and/ or hydraulic studies related to this reach of the Sweetwater River and existing as-built data for structures (i.e., bridges, culverts, storm drain outlets, etc.) within and tributary to the project area. This will be followed by field-reconnaissance site visit with Dudek restoration specialists, Dudek engineers, and City staff to walk the site and discuss current conditions and known issues. For hydrology, Dudek will utilize the current Flood Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study (FIS) flow data of the Sweetwater River. Available FIS flow rate data correspond to the 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year storm events. Dudek will perform a log-log interpolation/ extrapolation of FEMA FIS flows for the 2-, 5-, and 25-year storm events. Dudek will use the calculated 2-, 5-, and 25-year estimated flow data and FEMA FIS 10-, 50-, and 100-year flow data for use in the hydraulic analysis. Dudek will delineate drainage areas corresponding to the proposed pedestrian bridges over tributary drainages. Dudek will use an area-weighted relationship to estimate the approximate flows from these tributaries for use in the hydraulic model. An area-weighted flow will be estimated for the tributaries, and this flow will be removed from the mainstem Sweetwater River flow (FEMA FIS flow) in the hydraulic analysis. Dudek will develop a hydraulic model using the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) program to analyze existing and conceptual proposed conditions. Dudek will use the hydrologic data determined via the hydrology calculations as steady-state model inflows for a two-dimensional (2D) analysis. The modeling domain will extend sufficiently upstream and downstream to ensure boundary conditions do not impact results within the project area, estimated at 1,000 feet upstream the Central Avenue bridge and 1,000 feet downstream the Willow Street bridge. The existing conditions model geometry will reference publicly available terrain data. The proposed conditions may use some conceptual terrain modifications applied within the HEC-RAS software. We anticipate proposed conditions will primarily correspond to vegetation management within the park. Dudek will summarize the assumptions, methodologies, calculations, and model outputs in the H&H Technical Memorandum. The technical memorandum will include discussion of potential solutions based on modeling results. Assumptions: The City will provide available structure data (as-built drawings) and existing studies related to hydrology and/or hydraulics within the park. The site visit assumes two Dudek restoration specialists and two engineers. Detailed hydrology calculations per the San Diego County Hydrology Manual are excluded. FEMA FIS flow data and estimated flow data per log-log and power-fit evaluation are assumed sufficient for preliminary modeling. Approximate tributary delineations will be performed using GIS methods. Page 524 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 13 The bridges at Central Ave and Bridge at Willow St will be included in the hydraulic analysis. Detailed bridge hydraulics are not needed for existing and proposed pedestrian bridges. These will not be included in the hydraulic analysis. FEMA coordination or preparation of FEMA documentation (i.e., No-rise Certification, CLOMR, LOMR) are excluded. Proposed detailed grading or formal construction documents are excluded from this task. The City of Chula Vista staff will review the technical memorandum. There will be a single round of comments. All comments will be compiled into a single document. Deliverables/Assumptions: Hydraulic model files (electronic files) Draft and Final H&H Technical Memorandum (electronic files) Cost for Task 7.1 $37,067.00 TASK 7.2 GOLF MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE Dudek will compile the results of the hydraulic modeling along with the input from the City and the Golf Course Management staff to evaluate the flooding issues and operational concerns. This information will be compiled to come up with solutions, ranked as opportunities, for potential remodel of golf fairways, standardized maintenance routines or enhancement of the storm conveyance methods to better protect the improvements from damage and/or speed up the repair times from seasonal storms. Dudek understands the importance of having the interruption of the golf operations kept to a minimum and will work with the city and its staff to develop a roadmap of opportunities to meet its budget, timing and operational abilities. The purpose of this task will be to come up with alternative ways to control the storm water coming onto the property, conveying it properly through the course and then safely discharging it offsite with the goal of minimal interruption of the operations or public safety. Assumptions: The City of Chula Vista will provide full access to the golf facilities One meeting each with the appropriate golf management and maintenance personnel to understand their experiences and assess their abilities All conclusions will be summarized with preliminary timelines and budget ranges only, no cost estimates are included in this task Deliverables/Assumptions: Summary of opportunities and improvements Schedule of recommended annual maintenance programs Recommended on-site operational procedures before and after seasonal events Cost for Task 7.2 $14,380.00 Task 8 Master Plan Coordination Understanding that supplemental time will be required to complete the additional requested services, the Dudek project team will continue to provide ongoing project coordination in the form of six monthly meetings to ensure seamless Page 525 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course Master Plan Augment 14 integration and coordination into the current master planning process. This task includes scope for up to six additional monthly meetings and ongoing project management and coordination, including scheduling staff, reviewing project billing, budgets, and schedules, and email/phone communication beyond the indicated meetings. It also includes additional time to integrate data collected in the CEQA technical studies and golf course task into the master plan.

We understand the City is looking for comprehensive park and recreation master plan that also looks at equity, access, and park improvements to meet the needs of the community, in compliance with the state’s Fair Play Act. This master plan is also an opportunity to create a roadmap to guide and prioritize infrastructure investment in the park and serve as a powerful tool to ensure the park supports the mission of the City and help to realize the community’s vision for this important place. Our Dudek team is unique in that we offer the City a committed multidisciplinary team of in-house technical experts. We are the best qualified to work with the City on this contract for the following reasons: Unmatched Multifaceted Team of In-House Experts. Dudek planners and landscape architects are well versed in modern planning and recreation issues and view projects comprehensively through a multidisciplinary lens. Our planners and landscape architects are supported by our deep in-house technical bench of experts including biologists, resource preservationists, urban designers, arborists, wildfire specialists and climate resilience planners. Our team will look for ways to incorporate co-benefits and environmental considerations in the Rohr Park Master Plan, such as creek restoration, adaptability of park vegetation, climate resilience and meeting the needs of diverse park users. Committed Management Team. Dudek’s proposed project manager for this effort, California registered landscape architect Ed Armstrong, has over 26 years in recreation planning and design. Some of his key park and recreation master plans include a regional/community park for the City of Anderson, a destination park for the City of Citrus Heights, a regional trails implementation plan for San Diego County, among others. Mr. Armstrong will be supported by Dudek’s principal-in-charge, Asha Bleier. Ms. Bleier is the practice director and co-founder of Dudek’s planning and urban design group. Ms. Bleier has over 20 years’ experience working in the San Diego region on complex community engagement, consensus building and master planning efforts such as De Anza Cove Master Plan, Mission Bay Park Master Plan and SeaWorld Park Master Plan. Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Bleier will work to provide the City with the highest level of service and will be 100% dedicated to this project effort. Local Understanding. Dudek understands Chula Vista’s natural and created landscapes, as well as its development standards, policies, regulations, and community sensitivities. Dudek has a long-standing relationship working with the City on several projects and initiatives such as the Rohr/Wohl Bayfront Page 529 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan ii Specific Plan and Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan. We understand how to navigate complex and highly controversial projects, including planning, community engagement and consensus building within the City. Inclusive Community Engagement Strategy. Community engagement is at the heart of our planning strategy. We recognize that community input is essential in all planning decisions, and success can only be realized when the community at large is part of the plan development. We prioritize inclusive engagement by developing and executing a diverse set of engagement strategies (community meetings/workshops, surveys, sidewalk/park engagement, etc.) that are intended to reach all audiences. These efforts have been crucial in gathering valuable input and fostering a sense of ownership among community members. We appreciate the opportunity to work on this important project, and we look forward to the possibility of working with you. If you have any questions about our qualifications or proposal for this project, please contact Asha Bleier at 760.479.4858 or ableier@dudek.com or Ed Armstrong at 530.863.4269 or earmstrong@dudek.com.

Rohr. This development allowed the city to create a park that includes the Rohr Manor Building, picnic areas, gazebos, play areas, sports fields, basketball courts, a fitness court, an equestrian ring, a 3.3-mile paved walking trail, a dog park, and a model railroad track. Rohr Manor was built in 1938 by Howard Sebastian, a construction contractor in Chula Vista. The house was purchased by Rohr Aircraft Company in 19551. The park also includes the Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course, and 18-hole championship course designed by Billy Casper. The park’s namesake, Fred H. Rohr, was the founder of Rohr Aircraft Corporation, which played a significant role in Chula Vista's history as a major employer from the 1940s to the 1990s. The park's development reflects his contributions to the community and his vision for creating a recreational space for residents and visitors. Dudek understands that the City of Chula Vista wishes to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for Rohr Park, an approximately 59.9-acre regional park, to direct enhancements to the facility over the next 10 years. This Master Plan should include robust public outreach with 8 workshops to obtain feedback on park vision, as well as a comprehensive discussion of park improvements, implementation costs, and phasing. Potential improvements that could be evaluated for inclusion in the Master Plan include a central meeting area/plaza, riparian restoration and enhancements to Sweetwater River, additional trail amenities such as overlook decks and interpretive signage, additional sports or play features, exercise equipment, picnic facilities, or other amenities. Our team recognizes the importance of a robust public outreach and involvement process to understand and plan for the variety of park users Dudek will also collaborate with the City for compliance with California’s Fair Play in Community Sports Act (AB 2881), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in community youth athletic program opportunities, facilities, and resources. This Assembly Bill requires providing equal opportunities for youth of different genders, which may require expanding access to baseball/softball in the park and other considerations. Scope of Work The tasks below are based upon the City's Task Order request and outline the Dudek Team’s proposed strategy for accomplishing that objective. Task 1: Meetings and Coordination Once Dudek has received notice to proceed, and following preliminary background research in Task 2, the Dudek Team will attend a preliminary kickoff meeting with the City of Chula Vista to discuss project goals and objectives, establish lines of communication, review the schedule and milestones, and discuss other project details. This meeting can occur at the City offices or ideally at Rohr Park prior to the site walk in Task 2 if a suitable meeting room is available. Anticipated attendees from the Project Team include Dudek’s PIC, project manager, lead landscape architect, urban designer, and public outreach specialist. 1 https://map.sdsu.edu/group2001/group2/ROHR%20MANOR.htm Page 533 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 2 During project execution, Dudek will hold up to 12 monthly coordination meetings with City staff to discuss project progress, potential roadblocks to the project schedule that need resolving, questions, and other pertinent topics. This task also includes project management and coordination, including scheduling staff, reviewing project billing, budgets and schedules, and email/phone coordination beyond the indicated meetings. Task 1 Deliverables: Meeting agendas and minutes for kickoff and coordination meetings, Task 2: Existing Conditions Assessment and Alternative Designs Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed and concurrently with the previous task, Dudek will conduct background research on the project. We will assemble existing data, including existing reports including the 2018 City Parks and Recreation Master Plan, existing biological data (CNDDB), survey data, traffic counts on Sweetwater Road, soils, GIS, and any available topography in CAD or GIS format to use as a base for the alternative and preferred plans. Dudek will also review and summarize City goals, objectives, and policies for parks and open space as they relate to park use planning. Recognizing that the existing Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Master Plan dates from 2018, we will review recreation facilities demands projected for 2030 along with other pertinent data from the City-wide Master Plan. Together with conversations with City staff, we will begin to identify potential facility needs such as picnicking or tennis/pickleball courts, that could potentially be accommodated at Rohr Park. This scope assumes that sufficient background data exists to conduct this study and additional surveys or studies will not be needed. Unless a civil survey has been done recently, one will likely be needed before moving from the master planning phase into preliminary plans and construction documents. After the initial background research is completed and immediately following the site visit, the Dudek Team will walk the park with the City to discuss potential enhancements to existing amenities and potential new facilities, sports fields or courts, habitat restoration projects, small play/exercise areas, overlook decks, interpretive signs, or other features. We will identify opportunities and constraints to enhancements to the park, including biological, topographic, or hydrologic factors. The same staff will attend the walk as listed for the kickoff meeting in Task 1. Following the site visit, the Dudek Team will summarize existing conditions and conduct an opportunities and constraints analysis. Factors rated during the analysis include the following: Habitat, restoration, and natural resources Sweetwater River Floodplain & site hydrology/drainage Spatial arrangement and circulation between existing elements Fair Play in Community Sports (AB 2881, which requires equal opportunities for access to athletic fields, equipment, and other resources) Recreational connections (trails, bikeways, nearby schools, etc.) Non-play turf areas available for conversion to low water use landscaping Overall strategies for water use reduction We will document the analysis with an Opportunities and Constraints memorandum, which will be provided to the City for review and comment. Comments will be incorporated into the Draft Alternative conceptual plans. It is anticipated that the first community workshop (see Task 4) will occur either before or after the opportunities and constraints analysis to introduce the project to the public and solicit input on goals, visions, and concerns. Page 534 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 3 Draft Alternatives Plans Based upon conversations with the City and input received at the community workshop, Dudek will prepare up to three preliminary alternative designs for Rohr Park. The alternatives will differ in the types, locations and layout of new facilities and other improvements proposed to be added to the park, as well as changes to existing elements, if any. Potential improvements might include: Central plaza and gathering space, Amphitheater for outdoor events or performances, Sports courts such as tennis, pickleball and bocce, Covered shade structures with picnic tables, Additional trail connections, Sweetwater River overlook decks and interpretive signage, Raingardens or other stormwater detention facilities, Riparian restoration along the river, Conversion of turf to drought-tolerant landscaping, Play/exercise stations located along trails, and Additional provision for equestrians including hitching posts and water stations. Dudek will hold a half-day charrette with the City to work out the framework for the three design alternatives. This framework will consist of a list of elements to be included in the plan along with design sketches. It will be refined into preliminary alternative designs. Note that as part of this scope of work, if interpretive signs are desired, Dudek will work with the project team to define number of and topics for signage, but design of interpretive signs is not included in this proposal. In addition to preparing the alternative designs, Dudek will prepare preliminary cost estimates for each alternative that the alternatives can be evaluated equally. An important component of design development is first order cost estimates. Cost estimates provide an assessment of value reality check to facilitate the project goals and objectives are aligned with the reality of project financing. During the design alternatives development, a cost benefit analysis will be prepared to illustrate the most appropriate approach to meet the project goals and objectives. At each subsequent project stage of plan development, we will refine the cost estimate to verify final design will conform to the available funding. Each cost estimate spreadsheet will be organized by phase and will itemize the estimates for expected construction costs for the project. The estimates and will include a brief description, identification of the relevant unit, approximate quantity, unit cost, and calculation of the extended cost of for each item based on construction bids received from past projects, industry standards, and our professional experience. Providing accurate cost estimates at each stage of the design process helps keep the project on track. The alternative designs will be presented to the City for review and comments. Designs will be updated then presented to the public at the second community workshop (see Task 4). Based upon input received from the community workshop and feedback from the City, Dudek will identify and prepare a preferred design. The preferred design might be one of the three alternatives or a combination of two or more alternatives. Task 2 Deliverables: Draft opportunities and constraints assessment, as a PDF file Page 535 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 4 Final opportunities and constraints assessment, as a PDF file Draft alternative designs and cost estimates, as a PDF file Final preferred design, as a PDF file Task 3: Master Plan Dudek will compile the background information, project goals, opportunities and constraints analysis, public outreach summary, and alternative and preferred designs together with a summary of existing conditions, descriptions of the proposed improvements, cost estimates, and phasing strategy into the Implementation Plan. We anticipate that the Plan will contain the following sections: Executive summary Introduction and background Goals and objectives Public Outreach summary Existing conditions Opportunities and constraints Alternative designs Preferred design Implementation and funding Maintenance and Management Cost estimate The existing conditions summary will be compiled from the site visit and publicly available data. The Implementation and funding section will include an assessment of additional studies, permits and environmental compliance review that will be needed, in addition to cost estimates for planning, permitting, construction and post-construction maintenance; project phasing; and potential opportunities for grant funding. The Master Plan will be presented in draft format for City review and comments. Comments will be incorporated into the Draft-Final Master Plan, which will be submitted for City review and comments. The Final Master Plan will address comments received and will be provided in PDF format. Deliverables: Draft Master Plan, as a PDF file Draft-Final Master Plan as a PDF file Final Master Plan, as a PDF file Task 4: Public Workshops and Outreach Support Dudek will conduct up to 8 public outreach events to present the project to the community and solicit input, visions, opinions, and field concerns. We recommend two public outreach workshops at each of the following milestones, one during a weekday evening and one during a weekend. The weekend workshops could take the form of a pop-up event hosted at the park itself or a nearby location. The milestones include: Page 536 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 5 Outreach Workshop 1a and 1b: Follows the opportunities and constraints assessment prior to development of the alternative designs. The objective is to understand the community’s visions, wants, concerns over maintenance or safety, current uses, and other factors. Outreach Workshop 2a and 2b: Follows revisions to the alternative designs based upon City feedback and prior to identification of the preferred alternative. The objective is to receive feedback on the alternatives and capture any comments or desires that may have been missed in the alternatives. Outreach Workshop 3a and 3b: Follows revisions to the Draft Master Plan based upon City comments and prior to delivery of the Draft-Final. The objective is to receive community input on the Draft Plan. The remaining two public outreach events could be pop-up tabling at events such as the Downtown Chula Vista Farmers Market or a special event in Chula Vista like the Community Wellness Potluck Park Day, which, being in early February, is too soon for the project timeline. If more support for more pop-up events is desired, the above workshops could be reduced to one day per workshop. At project Notice to Proceed (NTP), Dudek will draft a public outreach strategy to outline our plan for presenting the project to the community. The outreach strategy will confirm meeting event milestones, methods, and materials that will be provided to support public involvement in the project. In support of the public outreach program, Dudek will develop up to four (4) 3D renderings depicting the character of the experiences for the proposed changes to the park. Views will be taken from “eye level” or “low-elevation aerial” and will be coordinated with the City prior to development. One (1) round of revisions will be made to the renderings based on City input. We will prepare up to four (4) color rendered maps (one for each alternative and one for the preferred alternative) illustrating the proposed improvements(s). The maps will include color linework and infographics over an aerial photograph. All maps will be to scale and labeled for presentation purposes. One (1) round of revisions will be made to the maps based on City input. Dudek will support the City in conducting the community outreach for the project. This includes attending each of the community workshops. Following the workshops, we will prepare Workshop summary reports and share them with the City. Dudek will provide translation services for the workshop documents including PowerPoint (PPT) slides and one- page information sheet for the first workshop and translation for the PPT and survey/questionnaire for the second workshop. In-person translation services are not included but can be provided as an optional service if desired. A project web presence is not included in this task, but Dudek has very creative web services and very experienced staff at creating dynamic map-based websites such as ArcGIS StoryMaps for communicating and collecting information. We can provide those services if desired by the City.

Focused resumes for key staff are provided in . Figure 1. Dudek Team Organization Page 541 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 10 Relevant Project Experience The Dudek team has provided landscape architecture design and planning support services for projects of a similar nature. Following is a representative sample of projects that demonstrate our capabilities to complete complex open space planning projects efficiently. CHULA BAYFRONT MASTER PLAN Dudek contracted with San Diego Unified Port District Port) to revise and re-circulate a complex, high-profile environmental impact report (EIR) for the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan (CVBMP), a large-scale master plan for redeveloping 550 acres of bayfront property. The development comprised a resort conference center, a residential/retail area within the Harbor District, and park and natural open-space areas, as well as associated infrastructure, including streets, utilities, fire stations, etc. The site includes state tidelands and uplands under the Port's jurisdiction, as well as uplands under the City of Chula Vista's (City's) jurisdiction. Dudek led consultants from the Port, City, and other projects in completing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process for the CVBMP in accordance with the Port and City's CEQA guidelines. The Port Commission and Chula Vista City Council approved the CVBMP and a final EIR, allowing development of the waterfront property, which has been in limbo for more than 30 years. Throughout the process, revisions were made to plans, associated technical studies, and the project EIR, which needed to reflect changes to the project description and phasing, and in response to public comments. Dudek incorporated previous public comments and revised the project description and each individual analysis section to reflect a program- and project-level analysis. The recirculation effort was completed on a tight schedule due to the strong direction and leadership provided by the Dudek project management. EIR issues amended and/or addressed for the project review included Aesthetics/Visual Quality; Air Quality; Biology; Cultural and Paleontological Resources; Seismic/Geologic Hazards; Hazards and Hazardous Materials/Public Safety; Hydrology/Drainage/Water Quality; Land Use; Planning and Zoning; Noise; Public Services and Energy; Traffic/Transportation/Parking; Population and Housing; Global Warming; Cumulative Impacts; Growth Inducement; and other CEQA-mandated sections. Significant biological impacts were also considered and involved intricate communications and negotiations with wildlife agencies and local community groups. Page 542 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 11 SANTA MARIA GREENWAY TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Dudek is working with the County of San Diego to prepare a feasibility study and implementation plan for approximately 1.5 mile of unpaved trail in the community of Ramona. The project kicked off with a site visit to evaluate road crossings, proposed trail alignments, connections to public facilities, potential biological resource impacts, and other factors. Dudek researched project background information, including as available GIS and other data for the project area such as parcel ownership, land use, topography, existing easements, and biological resources. Findings from the site visit and background research were included in an existing conditions summary memorandum. A public workshop was held to present the project background and results of the existing conditions assessment, and solicit feedback from the community on the project, including attendee values, priorities and concerns. The format of the workshop was a brief presentation followed by tabling sessions set up to discuss key aspects of the project such as land ownership, desired amenities, and potential alignments. Dudek held a half-day workshop with the County to review community input and work out the fundamentals of the alternative designs. We like to engage clients in collaborative decision-making during design to aid in understanding of design decisions and to ensure the plan meets with client expectations. Following the workshop, the alternatives were refined and presented in an alternative alignments memorandum that included alignment plans; detailed cost estimates with planning and design and implementation projections; proposed road crossings such as high-visibility (triple four) crosswalks, a rapid flashing beacon and a pedestrian hybrid beacon. The alternatives were presented at a second public workshop. The Implementation Plan, in progress, summarizes the previous work efforts and refines the alignments and cost estimates to include easement acquisition and operations and maintenance costs. It also includes design guidelines/vignettes for key access points and discussions of phasing, funding, and maintenance and monitoring needs. The Implementation Plan is slated for delivery to the County in February 2025. Page 543 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 12 DE ANZA COVE PARK PLAN Under our on-call contract with the City of San Diego, Dudek prepared parks needs analysis, site planning support and a program-level EIR for the De Anza Cove Master Plan as part of the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, which is a comprehensive planning document that provides a policy framework to guide development throughout the entirety of Mission Bay. The project includes recommendations and policies pertaining to the project area to serve regional recreation needs, including guest housing (recreational vehicles and other low-cost camping facilities); improvements to the park’s water quality, including creating additional wetlands; facilitation of hydrologic improvements to safeguard the viability of marsh areas; addition of a waterfront trail, viewing areas, and other passive recreational features to enhance public use of the park area. The highly controversial planning process included a robust community engagement plan, which Dudek supported. Dudek worked with the City to conduct a series of community engagement workshops and working group design sessions design with interested parties. Page 544 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 13 AGUA HEDIONDA SOUTH SHORE SPECIFIC PLAN AND SOUTH SHORE HUB PARK TRAIL Dudek’s landscape architects prepared preliminary concept plans for the Agua Hedionda South Shore Specific Plan that consists of over 155 acres of agricultural and natural resource areas. The plans prescribe preliminary concepts for public access, low-cost visitor uses, trails, interpretation and overlooks, native habitat restoration, and preservation of existing historic agriculture areas (strawberry fields) and biological resources associated with the adjacent Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Proposed site amenities in the conceptual plan include over three miles of trails, multiple interpretive overlooks, trailhead kiosks, an open-air classroom, and parking. Proposed site furnishings include fitness stations, benches, picnic areas with shade structures, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, dog stations, restroom facilities, and wayfinding signs. The conceptual design considers an overall educational theme of historical land used in concert with the need to respect the natural environment and its resources to preserve, utilize, and appreciate the resources for a sustainable future. Through interpretive signage and identification of key site features and through interpretation at key panoramic overlooks, the plan connects the natural resources to the site’s original inhabitants (Native Americans), who lived off the ocean by gathering resources in the lagoon area and used the adjacent hillsides as camps and temporary villages. In addition, interpretation will include the influences of the early inhabitants of the area, including the Spanish and the Dutch. Furthermore, preliminary design themes reflect Carlsbad’s “funky beach town” character and propose using landscape art. Lastly, interpretation will include the various ecosystems on and adjacent to the site, native habitat, and native plant communities within the site and adjacent lands. SEA WORLD PARK MASTER PLAN Dudek collaborated with the City of San Diego and SeaWorld Parks to prepare a comprehensive park needs assessment and 20-year long range plan for updates Dudek prepared parks needs analysis, site planning support and a program-level EIR for the De Anza Cove Master Plan as part of the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, which is a comprehensive planning document that provides a policy framework to guide development throughout the entirety of Mission Bay. The project includes recommendations and policies pertaining to the project area to serve regional recreation needs, including guest housing recreational vehicles and other low-cost camping facilities); improvements to the park’s water quality, including creating additional wetlands; facilitation of hydrologic improvements to safeguard the viability of marsh areas; addition of a waterfront trail, viewing areas, and other passive recreational features to enhance public use of the park area. The highly controversial planning process included a robust community engagement plan, which Dudek supported. Dudek worked with the City to conduct a series of community engagement workshops and working group design sessions design with interested parties. Page 545 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 14 MARRIOTT MEADOWS PARK CONCEPTUAL PLAN REFINEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS The 24-Acre Park project (Marriott Meadows) involved fitting recreational park facilities into an oak woodland on an undeveloped parcel owned by Auburn Recreation District (ARD) adjacent to Auburn Regional Park. The project proposed paved and earthen walking trails, large and small dog parks, an open turf area, a central plaza, splash pad, restroom, bocce ball courts, shade shelters with picnic tables, a wetland overlook, interpretive signage, a 20- car parking lot and entry road, and associated utilities. A majority of the site would remain in a largely natural state, consisting of oak woodlands with unpaved walking trails, a wetland, and open grassland area. Dudek worked with ARD to prepare a revised Conceptual Plan for the park, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and technical studies for biological and cultural resources, jurisdictional aquatic resources delineation, traffic study, noise, and air quality and greenhouse gas emissions analyses. Dudek also helped ARD obtain funding for development of construction documents, interpretive signage design, and project construction. Following receipt of Proposition 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program funds, Dudek completed construction documents (currently at the 100% level of completion) and draft thematic interpretive designs. Page 546 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 15 SANTEE RECREATION CENTER Dudek prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for a proposed community center building in Santee that would be two stories tall and total 12,500 gross square feet. The community center building would include a lobby, reception area, event space and deck, concession space, storage, kitchen, utilities, outdoor covered dining area, service yard, biofiltration basin, office space, amphitheater, bike storage, and more. The facility would be used as a backup emergency operations center for City Hall and will have a backup emergency generator. The project’s sustainability features include photovoltaic (PV) panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. In addition to preparing an MND, Dudek prepared technical analyses for biological resources, air quality, and GHG emissions. The project would be adjacent to the San Diego River; therefore, our team prepared a jurisdictional delineation, rare plant survey, and vegetation mapping to demonstrate that direct impacts to native plant communities would not occur. Operation of the project would include an emergency back-up generator. As part of the air quality section, we prepared a screening analysis for the project to demonstrate that no operational health risk impacts would occur as part of this stationary source. Dudek used the Sustainable Santee Action Plan Project Consistency Checklist to evaluate the project’s significance with respect to GHG emissions. SOLEDAD WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY WETLAND COMPLEX FEASIBILITY STUDY Dudek conducted a feasibility study for the creation of a wetland/riparian habitat complex with passive recreational enhancements in the retired infiltration basins at the Water Reclamation Facility. Dudek visited the site to meet with the City, discuss goals and objectives for the project, and assess opportunities and constraints. We collected preliminary surface soil samples and reviewed previous soils reports, then conducted hydrological modeling to determine a range of combinations of wetland type, size, and amount of clay amendments and compaction necessary to support functioning wetlands given anticipated treated wastewater input rates. Evaluating present and historical habitats in the adjacent Salinas River and working with City officials to identify desired recreational enhancements, along with the results of the hydrological modeling, Dudek produced a set of conceptual design alternatives comprising a wetland complex with open water, emergent wetland, perennial marsh, riparian scrub, and riparian wetland habitats and public access elements, including parking lots, trails, overlooks, fencing improvements, a restroom, a boardwalk, educational signage, and other amenities. Dudek also developed phasing and maintenance plans, along with detailed cost estimates, to allow the City to evaluate the financial and logistical feasibility of the project. To assist in project implementation, Dudek identified potential funding sources and aided the City in submitting a grant application for Proposition 1 funds.

In addition, the Chula Vista Municipal Code currently identifies Cesar Chavez Day as a recognized holiday Chapter 10.08.110 (Vehicles and Traffic) and Chapter 12.50.050 (Streets and Sidewalks). Staff recommends Page 648 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 amending Chapters 10 and 12 of the Municipal Code to replace Cesar Chavez Day with Farmworkers Day to ensure consistency across employee agreements, municipal regulations, and operational practices. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been 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. DISCUSSION California legislative leaders passed Assembly Bill 2156 (Holidays: Farmworkers Day) on March 26, 2026, to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day, reflecting a shift toward recognizing the broader contributions of farmworkers across the state. Recent investigative reporting has brought forward allegations that Cesar Chavez engaged in sexual abuse involving women and minors during the farmworker movement era. The farmworker movement represents a significant chapter in California’s history, shaped by collective action to improve wa ges, working conditions, and labor protections. This movement included contributions from diverse communities, including Mexican, Filipino, and other immigrant workers, as well as women whose leadership played a critical role in organizing and advocacy efforts. Recognizing Farmworkers Day reflects a broader acknowledgment of this collective effort and the individuals and communities who contributed to advancing labor rights. MOU Amendments The City of Chula Vista and the Association of Chula Vista Employees (“ACE”); Chula Vista Mid- Managers/Professional Association, SEIU Local 221 (“MM/PROF”); Non-Safety Local 2180, International Association of Fire Fighters (“Non-Safety IAFF”); Local 2180, International Association of Fire Firefighters (“IAFF”); Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association (“POA”); and the Western Council of Engineers (“WCE”) bargaining groups have worked collaboratively toward the development of a mutually beneficial Memoranda of Understanding (“Bargaining Unit MOUs”) that provide for wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. The City and the bargaining groups have met in good faith as required by the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA") and desire to amend their respective Bargaining Unit MOUs to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day. These amendments are administrative in nature and do not change compensation, benefits, or work schedules beyond the renaming of the holiday. Amendments to each applicable MOU have been prepared and are included as attachments to this report. Page 649 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 Municipal Code Updates – Chapters 10 and 12 Chapter 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) is a compilation of the rules and regulations of governing and controlling the movement of motor vehicles and traffic in Chula Vista. Section 10.08.110 defines “Holidays” for purposes of Chapter 10. Chapter 12 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code governs the use of public rights-of-way, including regulations for temporary signage. Section 12.50.050 identifies specific City-observed holidays during which temporary signs may be displayed. Currently, this section includes Cesar Chavez Day as a recognized holiday. To ensure consistency across the Municipal Code and align with the proposed MOU amendments and Chapter 10 and 12 updates, staff recommend amending Sections 10.08.110 and 12.50.050 to replace Cesar Chavez Day with Farmworkers Day. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff have reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and have 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 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 There is no fiscal impact associated with the renaming of the holiday within the Bargaining Unit MOUs or Municipal Code. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with this action. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Receive a presentation on Brown Act updates related to teleconferencing and accessibility provisions under Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), adopt the following resolutions, and provide direction to staff, as appropriate: A. Adopt a Technology Disruption Policy in compliance with Government Code § 54953.4. B. Determine “reasonable efforts” for outreach to encourage participation in City Council meetings under Government Code § 54953.4. C. Rescind City Council Policy 104-02, “Remote Council Meeting Participation by Councilmembers,” as state law now governs these requirements, or provide other direction to staff. SUMMARY Senate Bill 707 (SB 707, 2025) updates teleconferencing and accessibility requirements under the Brown Act, including new provisions related to remote participation and public access to meetings. By July 1, 2026, legislative bodies must adopt policies addressing technology disruptions and defining reasonable efforts for outreach to encourage public participation, particularly among underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities. Page 664 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 This item includes a presentation summarizing these updates and proposed resolutions to implement the required policies. Staff also recommends rescinding the City’s existing teleconferencing policy to avoid duplication and ensure consistency with current state law, or alternatively, providing other direction. The City Council may also provide additional direction or feedback to staff regarding meeting procedures, as desired. 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. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Background The Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.) establishes requirements for open meetings of local legislative bodies. SB 707 updates provisions related to teleconferencing, including requirements for remote participation, accessibility, and procedures for addressing disruptions to meeting access for City Council meetings. Among other requirements, SB 707 requires the City Council to adopt a technology disruption policy and to determine what constitutes reasonable efforts for outreach to encourage public participation in City Council meetings, particularly among underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities. These policies must be adopted by July 1, 2026. Technology Disruption Policy Government Code § 54953.4 requires the City Council to adopt, by July 1, 2026, a technology disruption policy. The policy must address procedures for responding to disruptions of telephonic or internet service during a meeting and the efforts the legislative body will make to restore service. The statute further requires that if a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from observing or participating in a City Council meeting through the two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform, the City Council must recess the open session for at least one hour and make a good faith effort to restore service. During this time, the City Council may meet in closed session, as permitted by law. The City Council may not reconvene open session until at least one hour has passed or service has been restored, whichever occurs first. If service has not been restored upon reconvening, the City Council must make findings by roll call vote that good faith efforts were made to restore access and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in providing remote access. Alternatively, the meeting may be adjourned.

Reasonable Efforts for Outreach Government Code § 54953.4 requires the City Council to determine and adopt what constitutes “reasonable efforts” to encourage participation in City Council meetings, particularly among underrepresented communities and non-English-speaking communities. The proposed resolution establishes the City’s approach to outreach, which may include inviting participation in City Council meetings from media organizations serving the City, including those serving non-English-speaking communities, as well as civic, neighborhood, community-based, civil rights, and good government organizations. The statute provides the City Council with broad discretion in defining these reasonable efforts and clarifies that failure to provide notice to any specific group does not create a basis for legal action. The proposed policy is intended to provide flexibility while supporting expanded public awareness and participation. Rescission of Existing Teleconferencing Policy The City Council adopted City Council Policy 104-02, “Remote Council Meeting Participation by Councilmembers,” on May 28, 2013, which governs City Councilmember participation by teleconference. Since that time, state law has evolved, and SB 707 now establishes comprehensive statutory requirements governing remote participation. The Brown Act now expressly allows teleconferencing by a member as an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as a limited number of instances of remote participation due to “just cause,” which may be used up to five to seven times per calendar year, depending on the number of regular meetings held per month. ADA-related teleconferencing must be provided when applicable legal requirements are met, whereas participation based on “just cause” is subject to the statutory annual limit. “Just cause” includes circumstances such as childcare or caregiving needs; a contagious illness; a physical or mental condition; travel on official business; the need to care for an immunocompromised family member; a personal or family medical emergency; or military service obligations that prevent in-person attendance. Because these provisions are now addressed in statute, maintaining a separate City policy may create inconsistencies or redundancy. Rescinding the existing policy would ensure alignment with state law and reduce potential confusion. Alternatively, if the City Council desires to maintain City-specific rules governing when City Councilmembers may participate remotely, it may provide direction to staff to return with a revised policy consistent with current state law. City Council Direction on Meeting Procedures While SB 707 establishes baseline requirements, the City Council retains discretion over certain meeting procedures. The Council may provide direction to staff regarding meeting operations and related procedural matters, provided such direction is consistent with applicable law.

Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff are not independently aware and have 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.

Page 675 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUBJECT:REMOTE COUNCIL MEETING POLICY EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION BY NUMBER DATE PAGE COUNCILMEMBERS 104-02 05/28/13 1 OF' ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 2013-098 DATED: 05/28/13 AMENDED BY: BACKGROUND This Policy was prepared in response to a City Council request that the City Attorney prepare a policy governing the use of teleconferencing by. City Councilmembers for remote participation in City Council meetings. The Ralph M. Brown Act' (the `Brown Act") governs the meetings of legislative bodies. The Brown Act defines "teleconference" as a "meeting of a legislative body, [where] the members of which are in different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio or video, or both."2 In order to conduct a City Council meeting by teleconference in accordance with the Brown Act, the City would have to comply with numerous requirements. These include the following:3 1. At least a quorum of the Council must participate from locations within the City; 2. All votes taken during the teleconferenced meeting must be taken by rollcall; 3. Agendas must be posted ai all teleconference locations; 4. Each teleconference location must be identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting; 5. Each teleconference location must be accessible to the public; 6. The teleconference meeting must be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and public appearing before the Council; and 7. The agenda for each teleconference meeting must provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the Council directly, at each teleconference location. (This requirement means that each location, including private homes, offices or hotel rooms, must be open to the public, accessible to the disabled and allow the members of the public to hear and testify.) The City Council has had the opportunity to experience the use of teleconference participation by Councilmembers during a couple of recent City Council meetings. Based on those experiences, and public comment, the Council has decided it would be in the best interest of the City and the public to require City Councilmembers to attend City Council meetings in person, and to limit the Councilmembers' remote participation to emergency or special circumstances. The City Council has determined that doing so will save the additional cost and time involved with: (i) establishing and maintaining a remote connection throughout the meeting; and (ii) meeting the additional Brown Act requirements associated with remote participation. In addition, it is important to the City Council that City Councilmembers attend the meetings in person in order to facilitate interaction and communication with the public, with other City Councilmembers and with City staff. This Policy is intended to address these concerns. Cal. Gov't Code §§54950, el seg. 2 Cal. Gov't Code §54953(b)(4). 3 See. Cal. Gov't Code §§54953(b)(2)-(3).

E A City Councilmember desiring to attend a City Council meeting remotely shall submit a request to the City Clerk, no later than 9:00 a.m. five days prior to the meeting which the City Council member desires to attend (the Thursday immediately preceding a Tuesday Council meeting). 2. The Councilmember submitting a request shall indicate the reason for the request. Requests must be based on emergency or special circumstances, as defined below: a. "Emergency circumstances" are defined as: serious illness or injury of the requesting City Councilmember; death of afamily member; serious illness or injury of a family member requiring the Councilmember's care; or some other urgent and unavoidable family or business emergency that was not previously scheduled, cannot be rescheduled, and makes it necessary for the Councilmember to be out-of-town. b. "Special circumstances" are defined as either: i. The scheduling by the City Council, City Manager or City Attorney of a previously -unplanned City Council meeting that the Councilmember could not have anticipated; or ii. An urgent necessity for the City Councilmember's attendance, such as the need for a quorum (all members constituting the quorum would have to be participating from within City boundaries), or a particular item on a City Council meeting agenda requiring a super - majority (4/5) vote, as determined by the City Manager or the City . Attorney. 3. The request must also include all information necessary to comply with the Brown Act teleconference requirements.

If at least two members (in addition to the requesting Councilmember) respond that they are agreeable to the remote participation, the City Clerk will coordinate with the requesting Councilmember for proper noticing and logistics of the remote participation. 7. The timeline set forth above may be modified, if necessary, due to the timing of an emergency or discovery of a special circumstance. Any such modification must be approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, and must allow time to meet all Brown Act requirements.

Page 680 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The City engaged the Center for Organizational Effectiveness (COE) to design and facilitate a comprehensive community engagement effort to facilitate the development of the City’s next Strategic Plan. The engagement process included:  Individual Councilmember interviews to gather detailed insights on priorities;  District-based community workshops;  A business roundtable; and  A citywide community survey via Community Voices. Through these efforts, the City gathered broad and diverse input from residents, businesses, and community partners regarding community priorities, service needs, and long-term outcomes. Building upon this foundational outreach, on January 9, 2025, the City Council convened a Strategic Planning Workshop to review engagement findings and identify organizational priorities. Council’s feedback confirmed feedback received that focused on infrastructure, economic vitality, public safety, community well-being, governance, and equity. This direction, combined with community input and cross-departmental staff collaboration, served as the basis for developing the Draft 2026–2031 Strategic Plan before City Council this evening. The Draft 2026–2031 Strategic Plan establishes a unified organizational framework organized around four Strategic Goals that area all anchored in core City services:  Community Infrastructure — Focused on infrastructure maintenance and modernization; housing affordability and stability; transportation, mobility, and access; climate resilience and sustainability; and balanced investment across neighborhoods.  Quality of Life & Safety — Focused on community-centered public safety; emergency preparedness and response; community well-being; community connection and cultural engagement; youth development and senior services; and animal care services.  Growth & Economic Vitality — Focused on business growth and economic diversification, workforce opportunity and talent development; small business and entrepreneurship; city policy and process compliance; regional collaboration and innovation.  Good Governance — Focused on transparent communication and engagement; technology and data-informed decision-making; workforce development and succession planning; fiscal sustainability and stewardship. Page 681 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda P a g e | 3 Within each goal, the plan outlines strategic focus areas and objectives, core services, major initiatives and future opportunities. It also proposes key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure accountability and public transparency. KPIs will be developed based on the feedback received on this draft plan and will be presented with the final plan for adoption at a future date. The draft plan also includes sections describing community priorities, the City’s Mission, Vision, and Values, and the structure used to translate the plan into annual budgets, departmental work plans, and performance reporting. Staff requests City Council input on the draft goals, initiatives, and overall structure prior to finalizing the Strategic Plan. Following Council discussion and direction, staff will:  Update the draft plan to incorporate Council’s feedback;  Develop key performance indicators (“KPIs”) and finalize implementation language;  Prepare a final Strategic Plan for Council consideration and potential adoption; and  Begin aligning departmental work plans, budget development, and reporting processes with the adopted plan. 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 There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving this report.

This plan was shaped by the voices of residents, businesses, and community partners, as well as the experience and dedication of City staff. It represents a collective understanding of what matters most to our community and how the City will focus its efforts in the years ahead. Chula Vista continues to grow and evolve, and with that growth comes both opportunity and responsibility. This Strategic Plan provides a steady foundation to guide decision-making, support accountability, and help the City move forward with clarity and purpose. It is intended to be used, referenced, and revisited as conditions change and priorities evolve. The work ahead will require collaboration, discipline, and shared responsibility. Progress will be measured over time, and continued engagement with the community will remain essential as the City translates this plan into action. On behalf of the City of Chula Vista, I thank everyone for their contributions to this effort and for their ongoing commitment to our city. Together, we will continue working to strengthen Chula Vista as a welcoming, forward-looking, and well-served community.

As the second-largest city in San Diego County and 81st largest city in the United States, Chula Vista plays a critical role in the region’s economy, housing market, outdoor spaces, and binational activity. These dynamics create both opportunity and complexity, requiring thoughtful, coordinated, and disciplined long-term planning. The 2026–2031 City Strategic Plan establishes a clear framework to guide how the City sets priorities, allocates resources, and measures progress over the next five years. It translates City Council direction, community input, and organizational values into a focused set of strategic goals that align policy decisions, operational planning, and performance management across the organization. This plan is intentionally designed to be both aspirational and practical. It looks ahead to the future Chula Vista is working toward, while remaining grounded in fiscal realities, organizational capacity, and the evolving needs of the community. Annual budgets, departmental work plans, and performance reporting will align with this plan to translate strategy consistently into action. At its core, this Strategic Plan is a decision-making tool. It supports transparency, accountability, and long-term resilience, helping the City respond effectively to today’s challenges while preparing thoughtfully for the future. What This Plan Does Establishes a shared framework for setting priorities and making decisions Provides transparency around goals, progress, and performance Reflects City Council direction and community values Balances long-term vision with near- term operational realities Page 686 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda City of Chula Vista | 2026 – 2031 Strategic Plan (April 2026 Draft) Page 5 of 25 OUR CITY TODAY Chula Vista is a dynamic city defined by its diversity, scale, and regional connections. Home to residents from many cultures, backgrounds, and generations, the City continues to experience population growth, development pressure, and increasing demand for public services and infrastructure. Chula Vista benefits from significant strengths, including its location within the San Diego–Tijuana binational region, a growing economic base, and sustained public and private investment. These assets provide a strong foundation for long-term success. Growth and opportunity also bring complexity. Infrastructure systems require ongoing maintenance and modernization. Housing affordability, traffic congestion, and climate resilience present persistent challenges. Fiscal limitations and workforce capacity constraints require disciplined prioritization and thoughtful sequencing of initiatives. This Strategic Plan acknowledges these realities. It builds on the City’s strengths while addressing the conditions necessary to sustain quality of life, promote equity, and guide responsible growth over time.

Annual budgets, departmental work plans, and capital planning processes will be aligned with the goals and initiatives outlined in this plan. Departments will identify specific actions, timelines, and resource needs that support the plan’s major initiatives while continuing to deliver core services. Budget decisions will be evaluated in the context of the Strategic Plan to ensure investments advance adopted priorities. This alignment keeps the Strategic Plan remains an active decision-making tool rather than a static document Page 705 of 710 City of Chula Vista - City Council April 14, 2026 City Council Post Agenda City of Chula Vista | 2026 – 2031 Strategic Plan (April 2026 Draft) Page 24 of 25 SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Achieving the goals of this Strategic Plan requires coordinated leadership, disciplined execution, and ongoing community partnership.
