RESOLUTION NO. 1848
City Council Resolution No. 2003-460
JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE EXCLUSIVE
NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT WITH KAMPGROUNDS ENTERPRISES,
INC. FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR, WITH AN OPTION FOR A SIX
MONTH EXTENSION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A TOURNAMENT
SOCCER FACILITY AND LODGE ON APPROXIMATELY 38 ACRES IN THE
LOWER SWEETWATER VALLEY
WHEREAS, Kampgrounds Enterprises, Inc. ("Developer") is proposing to develop the Lower
Sweetwater Valley property with a 38 acre mixed use project adding to the existing campground a
tournament soccer facility and a hotel; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project area is comprised of multiple parcels, including at least two
parcels owned by Developer, one parcel owned by the Mross Family Trust and one parcel owned by the
Redevelopment Agency; and
WHEREAS, the Developer has requested an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the
Agency for one year, with an option for a six-month extension, in order to develop plans, pursue
entitlements, secure financing, and negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA); and
WHEREAS, the City and Agency are willing to enter into the ENA due to the high quality of the
proposal, its potential to eliminate blighting conditions in the Lower Sweetwater Valley area by developing an
area long underutilized and vacant, and the fact that the proposed project would add needed recreational
facilities and visitor serving accommodations in the community; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that because the ENA
is an agreement to negotiate terms for disposition of land, and to analyze a project prop~al, the activity is
not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines no environmental'review of the Project is necessa,!}' at this time;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency of the City
of Chula Vista do hereby approve the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Kampground Enterprises, Inc
regarding the proposed development of a tournament soccer facility, lodge, and campground expansion on
a portion of the Lower Sweetwater Valley on the terms presented and authorize and direct the
Mayor/Chairman to execute the Agreement in a final form approved by the City/Agency Attorney.
