The December 7, 2002 meeting yielded excellent and positive discussion about the future of the Bayfront. Since then, we have been very active in continuing to solicit public input. Using the comments and issues raised at the last meeting, we developed a survey to collect opinions regarding a range of options for community open space areas and for development areas on the Bayfront. To date we have surveyed over 300 Chula Vista residents. We will submit all of the original surveys for the record as soon as they are tabulated. The attached results are from tabulation of first 250 surveys. Development on the Chula Vista Mid-Bayfront is not just any project decision. It is our gift to our children and our children's children. Our decision for this site must reflect our vision of Chula Vista for the future. We know that you will take into full consideration all of the public input that you receive and we request that this data be formally entered into the project record. Thank you for working to make our Bayfront a legacy we can be proud of.

The City Council is undergoing a community input process. The City Council, the Coastal Commission, and the Developer need to hear tTom YOU what kind of mix of development project and community and open space you would like to see at the site. Which Development Uses are right for the Bayfront: Residential, Commerical, or Mixed uses A major issue related to bayfront development will be to detennine what kinds of uses will be allowed and what the financial impact of those uses will be. For example, a consideration of the economic impact of residential development must include the impacts of increased rush-hour traffic and increased impacts on schools and other social services. Residential development must also be evaluated in tenns of affordability. Commercial uses provide sales taxes in addition to property taxes. Job generation is important but low wage jobs with no benefits won't support families and can take away from regional financial gains. Public uses require subsidies to operate but can provide increased revenue because more people visit the area. Often, leaving an area as open space is economically the best thing to do as property values near open spaces are higher, costs for maintenance and policing are less. Many other factors are also part of the financial equation. The City Council and Coastal Commission need to hear from the Community! Any project at this site must be approved by the City Council and the California Coastal Commission. Development is allowable of some part of the area. What kind of development uses do you think are acceptable on the Bayrront? Please rank your community priorities for the Chula Vista Midbayfront Property on the back of the flyer and return to EHC! Your Name Address City State Zip Planning will also begin for the properties controlled by the Port District on the BaytTont and others near the BaytTont. Telephone Some uses may be desired on the bayfront but more appropriate for one of these locations instead of the Email sensitive lands near the wildlife refuge.
