VISTA, ENVIRON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (CONSULTANT), AND ACI
SUNBOW, LLC (APPLICANT), FOR CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO THE

ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT, A NOISE ANALYSIS, AN ODOR
ANALYSIS, AND A NUISANCE DUST ANALYSIS, ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW
RESIDENTIAL LAND USES ON PARCELS ADJACENT TO THE OTAY LANDFILL
THAT ARE CURRENTLY DESIGNATED FOR INDUSTRIAL USES
The applicant, ACI Sunbow, LLC, has filed a General Plan amendment application to
allow residential land uses on parcels adjacent to the Otay Landfill that are currently
designated for industrial uses. The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined
that the proposed project requires the preparation of a health risk assessment (HRA), a
Phase I environmental site assessment, a noise analysis, an odor analysis, and a nuisance
dust analysis in order to determine the health risks associated with placing residential
development adjacent to the Otay Landfill operation. Adoption of the resolution
approves an agreement with Environ International Corporation, for an amount not to
exceed $105,500, to provide consultant services for the preparation of the HRA and
Phase I environmental site assessment; and an additional $26,375 for other services,
should they be necessary. (Director of Planning and Building)

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ...::t
Meeting Date 4/12/05
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution approving the filing of a grant application to the Hazard
Elimination Safety (HES) Program for funds to improve traffic signal and
pedestrian facilities at 4th Avenue and K Street; and certifying the
commitment of matching funds.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of General Services/City EngineeréÁ-
REVIEWED BY: City Manager at Q\""
(4/5ths Vote: Yes _No.xJ
BACKGROUND: The intersection at4th and K near Chula Vista High School has been reviewed
for improvements. The City proposes to apply for grant funding from the Hazard Elimination Safety
(HES) Grant Program, matched with Traffic Signal Fees, to fund a project that will improve safety
and traffic flow. The project will upgrade the traffic signal system and reconstruct sidewalks and
cross gutters at the intersection to comply with current ADA standards.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS: N/A
DISCUSSION:
The intersection of 4th Avenue and K Street lies just north ofChula Vista High School and is used
during the school year by a large number of school-aged pedestrians as they walk to and from school.
Current conditions reviewed for improvement include a traffic signal with no vehicle detection, no
pedestrian pushbuttons, and no turn arrow for left-hand turns. Without left-turn phasing, motorists
wishing to turn left currently face delays while waiting for left turn movement traffic. The signal
currently operates on a fixed signal timer that does not change to accommodate variations in traffic
flow (e.g., student arrival and departure traffic). This results longer excessive queue lengths and
intersection delays.
The proposed proj ect will install new traffic signal standards, mast arms, pedestrian buttons at all
four corners, and the signals and other equipment. This proj ect will also install a video detection
system and a battery backup power source for the signals. In conjunction with the signal work,
additional sidewalk and cross gutter reconstruction will be performed to upgrade the sidewalks and
pedestrian ramps in support of the current Americans With Disabilities (ADA) design standards.
The total estimated costs to upgrade the traffic signal system at 4th and K, and to improve the
pedestrian facilities are $277 ,212 (see Attachment 1). Staff proposes applying for proj ect funding
from the Hazard Elimination Safety (HES) Grant Program to meet these expenses. The HES
program requires the commitment of a minimum 10% City match of total project costs. Staff
therefore recommends augmenting the grant with matching funds in the amount of $27,722 from
available Traffic Signal Fees.
2-1
Page 2, Item .:::t
Meeting Date 1/25/05
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. If the resolution is approved, the City
will apply for Hazard Elimination Safety (RES) funding in the amount of $249,490, and commit
matching funds of $27,722 from the Traffic Signal Fee Fund to meet the total proj ect cost of
$277,212. If the grant is awarded, staff will return to Council with a recommendation to accept the
grant funds, add the new project to the FY2005/06 Capital Improvement Program, and appropriate
the grant funds and the match.

The City Council previously approved CIP project No. PR257 and the Master Plan for Mountain
Hawk Park, which conceptually designed and provided for the construction of a completed and
fully functional 12-acre park. On July 13, 2004 Council approved a Design Build Agreement
with Erickson-Hall Construction Co. for this park. The Design Build Agreement contained a not
to exceed price of $3,377,458 with the GMP to be set upon receipt of 90% construction
drawings. The project is nearing the end of the design phase and ready to start the construction
phase this month. Tonight's resolution will approve the first amendment that will set the
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at $4,040,330.
ITEM TITLE:
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the first amendment of the Design Build Agreement incorporating
the GMP at $4,040,330 for the services required to design and construct Mountain Hawk Park
(CIP PR257) located in the Eastlake Vistas neighborhood of Eastern Chula Vista, appropriating
funds therefore and authorizing the Mayor to execute said amendment.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
On July 13, 2004, City Council approved an agreement with Erickson-Hall Construction Co. for
the services required to design and construct a completed and fully functionaI12-acre, Mountain
Hawk Park. As part of that agreement, a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is to be established
at 90% construction documents, which would include, but not be limited to, the cost for all labor,
equipment, and material to design and build a fully functional park in accordance with all
applicable building codes. A not to exceed amount of $3,377,458 million for the Park was
established, based upon rough schematic drawings, in the Design Build agreement. As the
design progressed and some of the complexities of this project became known, the actual GMP
as determined at the 90% construction drawing stage exceeded the not to exceed amount in the
original agreement.

PROJECT SCOPE AND CONTRACTUAL REOUIREMENTS
The Design-Build Agreement with Erickson-Hall Construction Co. provides the City with a fully
functional Mountain Hawk Park including the facilities and site-work required to provide
recreational and park service to residents of that community as well as other residents of the
City.
The First Amendment (Attachment A) to the Design Build Agreement between the City of Chula
Vista and Erickson-Hall Construction Co. will include setting the GMP at $4,040,330 which
includes the revised Design Fees and General Conditions costs consistent with the Project cost
(Attachment B) and revise the statement for Substantial and Final Completion dates. The GMP
shall include all design and construction services to complete a fully functional park. The GMP
is higher than the not to exceed amount in the original agreement due to the process of refining
the various project elements. Staff has made every effort in value engineering the project and
concurs with the Design Builder's GMP amount.
The Substantial and Final completion dates will be amended to include actual dates in lieu of
number of calendar dates from Notice to Proceed as in the Original Agreement. The revised
Substantial Completion date is December 13th, 2005 and the revised Final Completion date is
January 13th, 2006. .
The total cost of the project and GMP exceed the amount set forth in the Design Build
Agreement as the amount not to exceed cost of the project. At the time of the Design Build
Agreement, staff recommended an amount not to exceed that was less than the total budgeted
cost of the project. This is commonly done, as the costs of the project that are estimated at the
master plan level rarely remain consistent through the design process. By establishing a less than
budgeted amount not to exceed, staff is better able to focus the design builder on designing a
project that remains within our budgetary constraints. Staff felt it prudent at that time to
establish a conservative cost of the project and be able to respond to unexpected changes in
material costs. The total project cost for the park remains consistent with the amount of PAD
Fees collected for the park. The final design of the project remains consistent with the adopted
master plan.
CHANGE ORDERS
Under the designlbuild process, change orders are handled differently than under the
designlbidlbuild process. Change orders are only returned for Council approvaJ if they exceed
the approved GMP, or are for additional work requested by City, which results in a significant
change to the original scope. Otherwise, change orders are reviewed/approved by staff and the
design builder. This practice is commonplace when using the designlbuild construction
technique.

DISCUSSION
Mav 1 . 2005 - Cinco de Movo Celebration
The DBA is requesting the following for the 2005 Cinco De Mayo;
1. The closure of Third Avenue between "E" and "G" streets on Sunday, May 1
2. Allowing sidewalk sales for each event; and
3. A waiver of business license taxes for the DBA and vendors taking part in the event.
The closure of Third Avenue will affect the flow of traffic in the downtown area. The DBA
will be required to coordinate with the City's Traffic Engineer and prepare a traffic control
plan to the Traffic Engineer's specifications. The City's transit system will also be affected.
The Transit Coordinator's staff has agreed to the closure as long as "E" and "G" streets
remain passable for traffic. The DBA is aware of this stipulation and will abide by it.
The DBA has requested that the business license tax for this promotional event be waived
for festival. The taxes involved include a $5 assessment to the sponsoring organization
(DBA) and a requirement that each vendor have a Chula Vista business license (costing
$12.50 to each business without a current business license).
In the past. the City has waived the business license tax for the DBA and vendors taking
part in these events in order to encourage participation. The rationale for waiving the fee
is that the festivals attract thousands of visitors and residents to the Chula Vista downtown
and promote the downtown businesses. The resulting effect will be the generation of
additional commercial activity and increased sales tax revenue to the City. Waiving the
business license taxes will encourage vendor participation. Since having a large number
of vendors will help ensure the success of the events, staff recommends the waiver.
The event includes food booths and an alcohol tent. These areas will be operated in
accordance with the regulations of the San Diego County Health Department. ABC and
City of Chula Vista Fire Department and Police Department.
August 14. 2005 - Lemon Festival

A.. ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
1. HOW WIll LAND USES IN THE AREA CURRENTLY WITHIN TI£ MONTGOMERY FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT BE CHANGED UPON ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF CIIJI.A
VISTA?
County zoning regulations will continue to prevail while a study is
conducted to determine the relationship of existing development,
County zoning regulations and proposed City zoning for the area. The
Montgomery Planning Committee will review these issues and make
recomnendations to the Planning COIJIIIission and City Council on a
proposed zoning plan. Public hearings will be conducted to help
develop the zoning plan.
Existing legal land uses in the area will not be changed. Those
legal land uses that do not conform to the governing zoning
regulations will be allowed to remain as nonconforming land uses as
long as the use remains in operation.
2. HOW WILL ZONING ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA BE CARRIED OUT UPON
ANNEXATION TO THE CITY?
While County zoning continues to apply, the City will enforce the
County zoning standards. This will probably be done by responding to
complaints in regard to zoning violations. When the City zoning
takes effect, the Ci ty wil 1 then enforce the Ci ty standards in the
area, with existing legal land uses allowed to continue, as described
in Question 1.
3. WILL THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM (CHIP) IN THE AREA BE
CHANGED UPON ANNEXATION?
It appears that the present Housing Rehabnitation Program being
admi ni stered by the County wfl 1 be extended for at 1 east one more
year. After that the City will expand its program, which is equal to
or better than the County program, into the area.
4. IIILL ALL OR PART Of THE AREA BE ESTABLISHED AS A REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AFTER ANNEXATION?
As part of an agreement wi th the County, the Ci ty has agreed not to
form a Redevelopment Project that woul d i ncl ude any area currently
served by the '~ontgomery Fire Protection District for at least four
years after the effective date of the annexation. Redevelopment
would require broad community support in a joint pUblic/private
sector effort. The Ci ty woul d work wi th the comnuni ty to detemi ne
the desirability and feasibility of redevelopment,

5. HOW WILL THE MONTGOMERY PLANNING COfiJIITTEE BE INTEGRATED INTO THE
CITY'S PlANNING PROCESS AFTER ANNEXATION?
The Montgomery Planning Collll1ittee will function as an advisory body
to the Planning COIIII1ission and City Council for issues affecting the
area. The Committee will fonnulate recanmendations on all types of
land use applications filed within the area. In addition_ the
Conmittee will be charged with the responsibility of recOl11llll!nding a
Community Plan for the area.
Primary staffing for the Montgomery Planning Committee will come from
the City's Planni ng and Engineering Departments. In addition,
Community Development and other City departments would support this
effort as needed.
B. PUBLIC SAFETY
6. IIHAT LEVEL OF POLICE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
The City will provide police protection equivalent to that provided
in the City. At least 25 positions will be added to the City's
Police Department in order to bring the area's pOlice service up to a
level equivalent to that provided in the City. The additional Police
Department positions would include at least the following:
15 Patrol Staff
4 Investigative Staff
1 Evidence Tèchnician
1 Communication Operator
1 Animal Control Officer
3 Clerical Staff
~ Additional Police Positions
7. WHAT LEVEL Of fIRE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
There will be no change in the area's level of fire prevention and
suppression service. Both the Chula Vista and Montgomery Fire
Protection District firefighters recei ve the same type of training
and all are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT).
The Fire Protection District will be dissolved on the effective date
of the annexation, when the City will assume responsibility for fire
protection in the area. The City will continue to operate the
existing Fire Protection District station on Oxford Street.
- 3 -
8. WHAT LEVEL OF ANIMAL COmOL SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA
UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will provide the same level of animal control service
provided to Chula Vista residents including patrol services from 6:30
a.m. to 6:30 p.m. most weekdays and on Saturday afternoons. The
animal shelter is located at 690 Otay Valley Road and is nOl'lllally
open g:OO a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to
noon on Saturday.
C. SOCIAl AND LEISURE SERVICES
9. HOW WILL lIBRARY SERVICE BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON ANNEXATION?
No change is expected in the foreseeable future in the level of
library service provided in the area. Residents of the area
currently borrow almost as many books from the Chula Vista Public
library (59,000 per year) as from the two County branch libraries
(63,000) in Castle Park and Woodlawn. The City and County have
agreed to keep the two County branch libraries open for the
foreseeable future after annexation by keeping the area within the
existing County Library District. Under this agreement, the City
will pay the County the difference between the operating cost of the
two branch libraries and the District's revenue generated in the area.
The City is already planning to conduct a comprehensive facilities
study which will include library facilities and will examine ongoing
communi~ needs regarding library services. Upon annexation the area
will be included in this City-wide study to establish a plan for
appropriate long-term library services and facilities.
10. WHAT LEVEL Of RECREATION SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will enter into negotiations with MAAC, the County's current
contractor, to continue providing programs at the lauderbach
Community Center. To complement those programs, the City will offer
more general recreation services at the Center and will start
providing weekend classes and recreational opportunities. In
addition, the City will provide after school playground programs at
both the lauderbach and Montgomery elementary school s. The after
school playground programs already being provided by the City at the
Harborside, Rice, Castle Park, and Dtay elementary schools will
continue to be available to area residents.
11. WHAT LEVEL OF PARK SERVICE WIll BE PROVIDED UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will maintain the existing parks adjacent to the lauderbach
and Woodlawn Community Centers, either by contract or by City staff.
The City would also strive to increase the amount of park acreage
from the area's current ratio of 0.2 acres per thousand population to
the City's standard of 2.0 acres per thousand population.

D. PUBLIC FACILITIES
I? 17 ¡
12. HOW WIll THE CITY UPQRADE THE MONTGOMERY AREA WITH THE REVEJaJES
GENERATED IN THE AREA AFTER ANNEXATION?
The City will work with the Montgomery Planning Committee to
establish a multi-year phased capital improvement program aimed at
upgrading public facilities in the area such as curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, roads, drainage systems, and parks. The total cost of the
program is expected to exceed $12 million with the City using Gas Tax
Funds, Comunity Development Block Grant funds, general funds, and
other sources to finance the capital improvements. The City intends
to spend three to five times as much as the County currently does on
annual capital improvements.
The County has agreed that any Comnunity Development Block Grant
projects funded prior to annexation and under construction will be
completed by the County.
Assessment di stricts can also be fonned for street improvements if
desired by the community. However, for at least ten years after the
effective date of the annexation, the City Council will not fonn an
assessment district in the Montgomery area for street improvenents
(curbs, gutters, sidewalks, or pavement) unless property owners
representing at least 2/3 of the area in the proposed district
support its formation.
13. WHAT LEVEL OF STREET MAINTENANCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
Overall street maintenance will improve upon annexation, since the
City's maintenance standards are considerably higher than the
County's. Potholes will be repaired more frequently, streets will be
resurfaced more frequently, and shoulders on unimproved streets will
be bladed (leveled) more frequently.
The City will extend its "chip seal" program. which has received
nationwide acclaim, to roads in the area. Major streets will be chip
sealed every 8 to 10 years and local streets every 15 to 20 years.
In addition, the City will upgrade and expand its existing
synchronized (computerized) traffic signal system into the area,
which currently does not have synchronized traffic signals.
14. WHAT LEVEL OF STREET SWEEPING WIll BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
The City will provide the same level of street sweeping services
provided to the rest of the City. Streets in residential areas will
be swept twice a month and streets in commercial areas three times a
week. Street sweeping is currently not provided in the area on any
regular schedule.
- 5 -
..
15. WILL THE CITY'S STREET TREE PROGRAM BE EnENDED INTO THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
The City, which has been designated a "Tree Ci ty USA" each of the
last five years, will extend its street tree program into the area.
The City will trim all street and park trees on a regular basis.
Street trees in the area are currently trimmed only when hazardous
conditions require it.
16. HOW WILL STORM DRAIN CONS11WCTION AND MAINTENANCE IN THE AREA BE
AFFECTED BY ANNEXATION?
Stonn drain construction will be accelerated, drainage maintenance
improved, and flooding potential decreased. A comprehensive drainage
plan and capital ilDj)rovement program will be developed for the area
as has been done for the rest of the City.
The City will expend approximately $4 million following annexation as
its share of the Telegraph Ca~on Channel improvement to be
constructed with the U. S. Corps of Engineers.
17. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE MONTGOMERY SEWER DISTRICT AND TO SEWER FEES
UPON ANNEXATION?
There will be no change in regular sewer service charges for the near
future. On July 1, 1986, the Montgomery Sanitation (Sewer) District
will be dissolved and the City will take over sewer maintenance.
Montgomery Sewer District reserves will be placed in a separate
account and used to maintain and benefit the existing Montgomery
sewer system. The sewer connection fee will be reduced from $1,000
to $300 per single family dwelling. As Montgomery Sewer District
reserves are depleted, the City will review existing Montgomery sewer
service and sewer connection charges and may establish new charges
that reflect the maintenance costs and charges for the City-wi de
system.
18. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT AID RELATED FEES
UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will assume responsibility for street lighting in the area
within a year of annexation, and the area will be removed from the
County's Street Light District. At that time, the City will pay for
street lighting, and residents and businesses in the area will no
longer be required to pay a special street lighting fee.

paid off in 1990, this charge will be eliminated.
(b) The Montgomery sewer service charge woul d not be increased in the
near future after annexation, as explained in Question lB.
(c) The City offers senior citizens (age 62 or older) with incomes of
$7500 or less an exemption .from this tax, which is based on gas,
electric, and phone usage. If qualified senior citizens are on a
master meter for 9as and electric, they can receive a $12 rebate and
the regular exemption for the tax on phone usage.
(d) The cost of trash service in the area would not automatically be
reduced by annexati on, but the Ci ty woul d attempt to negotiate a
lower rate for the area, as explained in Question 22.
20. IF THE AREA DECIDES TO ANNEX. mil ifILL THE CITY USE REVENUES FROM
THE AREA?
Revenues generated in Montgomery will be spent in Montgomery to
provide the area with the same level of municipal services as the
rest of the City and to provide for an extensive capital improvement
program to upgrade public facilities in the area such as curbs,
gutters, sidewalks, roads, drainage systems, and parks.
The area currently is paying significantly more in taxes and fees
than it is rece1vi ng in services and capi tal improvements. The
County uses its surplus revenues from the area to provide services
and programs in other parts of the County.
F. MISCELLANEOUS
21. HOW WILL ANNEXATIDN AFFECT EXISTING TRASH SERVICE TO THE AREA?
Area residents will receive the level of trash service currently
provi ded by the Sani tary Servi ceo This 1 evel of servi ce is
guaranteed to be delivered by the State Government Code for a minimum
of five years after annexation or until such time as the existing
franchise holder sells his franchise. The City will attempt to
renegotiate the. existing trash collection fees in the area to the
same, lower rate currently paid by Chula Vista residents.
22. HOW WILL THE CITY'S MOBILEHM RENT MEDIATION PROCESS APPLY TO THE
AREA UPON ANNEXATION?
The City I s Mobil ehome Space Rent Mediati on Ordi nance will become
effective in the area upon annexation. The County has no similar
procedures for negotiating disputed rent increases in mobilehome
parks.
The City's ordinance provides that when a cumulative rent increase in
a calendar year exceeds the previous 12 months' residential rent
component of the Consumer Price Index, a negotiation/mediation
process may be initiated if a majority of a park's residents sign a
petiti on di sputi ng the rent increase. The process requi res
participation by both parties in the negotiation and mediation
process. The results of the process are not binding.
In addition, the City has established a Mobilehome Issues Committee,
which is composed of parte owners and park residents. The COlllJ1ittee
meets monthly to discuss issues related to mobilehome life and to
advise the City Council on such issues.

AREAS: NO. 42 (ZONES A " B)-WOODLAWN PARK; NO. 62-ÞQNTGOMERY PARKS:
NO. 66-VALlEY AVENUE; AND NO. 98-OATE COURT?
County Service Areas No. 42, 62, 66 and 98 will be dissolved upon
annexation and the City will assume respons fbili ty. Similarly, the
area will be relloved from the County Flood Control District and the
City will assume responsibility.
G. SPECIAL TRANSITION PROCESSES
24. WHEN WILL THE ANNEXATION BECOME EFFECTIVE AND HOW WILL Tt£
TRANSITION FROM THE COUNTY TO THE CITY BE HANDLED?
If the citizens of the area currently within the Montgomery Fire
Protection District vote on November 5, 1985 to annex to Chula Vista,
the annexation will become effective by the end of December 1985.
In order to provide the area with the same level of municipal
services as the rest of Chula Vista, the City will hire IIiIny
additional staff and purchase a significant amount of equipment. To
provide adequate time to obtain this staff and equipment, the City
m~ contract with the County to continue providing some services for
a few months. By July 1, 1986, however, the City intends to provide
virtually all municipal services to the area, as described previously
in this document.
To help insure a smooth transition of the area into Chula Vista, the
City will also provide several other special processes. The
Montgomery Planning Committee will be established as an advisory
committee to the Planning Commission and City Council for the area.
The Committee will formulate a recommended COßll1unity Plan, provide
recommendations for all types of land use applications filed in the
area, and help develop a multi-year capital improvement program to
upgrade public facilities in the area.
The City also will temporarily add one qualified member, to be
appointed from the Montgomery area, to each of the City's twelve
non-Charter established advisory boards and cOßll1issions. The number
of members on these advisory boards and commissions would revert to
the previous number when the member apPointed from the Montgomery
area could be assimilated within the regular number of members.
The City Council holds meetings in Chula Vista's Civic Center on the
first four Tuesdays of every month. The meeting on the first Tuesday
of each month is held at 4:00 p.m. and the other regular meetings are
at 7:00 p.m. One portion of each meeting is devoted to Oral
Conmunications, when members of the audience are invited to address
the Council on items of concern to them. This forum will provide an
additional opportunity to help insure that the City meets the needs
of new as well as current Chu1a Vista residents.

COUNCIL POSITION PAPER ON
THE PROPOSED MONTGOMERY ANNEXATION
APRIL 26, 1982
On June 8, 1982, the citizens of the San Diego County area known
as MOntgomery will be voting on the issue of annexation to the
City of Chula Vista. In order to assist the City Council and
staff in answering questions, and planning for the potential
annexation, and to assist Montgomery residents in understanding
what the potential impacts of annexation to the City will have
on them, the City Council has adopted the attached "Position
Paper" on the proposed Montgomery Annexation.
The Council Position Paper was developed to assist the City
Council and staff in planning for a smooth transition of the
Montgomery area into the City. The underlying assumptions
regarding the development of the City's position on the proposed
annexation of Montgomery are:
1. The Montgomery area will be provided with the
same level of services as the existing City.
2. The City, recognizing the uniqueness of this large
annexation, will provide special processes to
insure a smooth transition of the area into the
City.
In addition, the Position Paper provides staff with general
guidelines to answer specific service and fiscal questions
from the public.

MONTGOfoERY ANNEXATION, SERVICE AND FISCAl ISSUES
PURPOSE: The purpose of thfs document 15 to sunnar1ze the City's position
regarding service and fiscal issues related to the proposed Montgo.ery
annexation.
The major use for this document is intended for:
1. consideration and approval by the City Council;
2. use by City staff in responding to questions from the public and in
planning for potential annexation.
This document ~ be distributed to the public or the press upon request. .
The underlying assumptions regarding the development of the City's position
relative to the proposed annexation of the Montgomery area are:
1. The Montgomery.area will be provided with the same level of services
as the existing City.
2. The City, recognizing the uniqueness of this large annexation, will
provide special processes to ensure a smooth transition of the area
into the Ci ty.
A. Zoning and Development Issues
1. HOII WILL MONTGOMERY LAND USES BE CHANGED UPON ANNEXATION TO CONFORM
WITH EXISTING CHULA VISTA ZONING REGULATIONS?
Existing legal land uses in Montgomery will not be changed. Those
legal land uses that do not conform to the governing zoning
regulations will remain as a nonconforming land use. In the future,
nonconforming land uses that are discontinued will be required to
comply with the then governing land use regulations.
2. HOW AND WHEN WILL THE CITY APPLY ITS OWN ZONING TO THE MONTGCIIERY
AREA AFTER ANNEXATION?
City zoning regulations will apply to the Montgomery area after a
study has been conducted to determine the relationship of existing
development, County zoning regulations and proposed City zoning for
the area. The Montgomery Planning Committee will review these issues
and make recOllll1endaUons to the Planning Comnission on a proposed
zoning plan.
Attachment "A"
April 16. 1982
3. HOII WILL ZONING ENFORCEMENT IN THE MONTGMRY AREA BE CARRIED OUT
UPON ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF CHUlA VISTA?
As long as County zoning applies, estimated to be about twelve
months, the City will enforce the County zoning standards. This will
probably be done by responding to complaints in regard to zoning
violations. When the City zoning takes effect, the City will then
enforce the City standards in the Montgomery area in the same way
that those standards are now enforced in the City.
4. ~EN IIILL HOUSING INSPECTION IN THE II)NTGMRY AREA BE PERFOR/IED IN
~CORDANCE WITH STATE STANDARDS? (STATE LAW MANDATES REGtLAR
INSPECTION OF APARTMENTS.)
The Cit¥ intends upon annexation of the Montgomery area to answer all
housing complaints. Thereafter a survey of apartments in the
Montgomery area would be made and a program of regular inspections
set up as required by law. (Apparently at the present time the
County does not conduct the requi red housing inspections due to a
manpower shortage.)
5. WILL THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM (CHIP) BE CHANGED IN THE
MONTGOlERY AREA UPON ANNEXATION?
No. It appears at thi s time that the present Housing Rehabilitation
Program being administered by the County will be extended for at
least one more year. After that the City expects to expand its
program, which is equal to or better than the County program, into
the Montgomery area.
6. ""AT WILL HAPPEN TO MONTGMRY CIMIJIITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) MONEY UPON ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF CHUlA VISTA?
The Montgomery area Block Grant Funds (about $300,000 per year) would
continue to be spent in the Montgomery area for the foreseeable
future. Dependent upon federal regulations, the County woul d
continue to carry out the County COI1IRInity Development Block Grant
program for at least one year.
7. WILL AlL OR PART OF THE MONTGIHRY AREA BE ESTABLISHED AS A
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AFTER ANNEXATION?
Redevelopment in Chula Vista is a joint pUblic/private sector
effort. Therefore the City would consult with the Montgomery
Planning Committee and various private groups to ascertain the
desirability and support for redevelopment. The primary thrust for
redevelopment effort would come initially not from the City Council
but frOlll the community itself.

Apri 1 16. 1982
Sa. HOW WILL THE MONTGOMERY PLANNING COIlnmE, IF APPROVED BY THE
VOTERS IN THE JUNE ELECTION, BE INTEGRATED INTO THE CITY'S PLANNING
PROCESS?
The Montgomery Planning Conmittee would function as an advisory body
to the Planning Conmission for the Montgomery area. That connittee
would formulate recommendations to the City Planning Conmhsion on
all types of land use applications which are filed within the
Montgomery area. In addition, the Conmittee 15 charged with the
responsibflity of recommending a Conmunity Plan for that area.
8b. HOW WILL THE MONTGOf£RY PLANNING CCMlImE 11£ STAFFED?
Primary staffing will come from the Planning Department which
proposes to assign two professional planners and a planning
technician to perform the majority of the required work effort in the
MOntgomery area. In addition Engineering, Communfty Development and
other City departments would support this effort as needed.
B. Public Safety
9. WHAT lEVEL OF POlICE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE MONTGOMERY
AREA UPON ANNEXATION (INCLUDING PATROl.. AND INVESTIGATION)?
The City will provide police protection equivalent to that provided
in the City. Up to twenty-one additional patrol and investigative
personnel will be needed to achieve an equivalent level of service
now being provided to the City. Currently the County of San Diego
provides twelve patrol and fnvestigative staff to the Montgomery area.
10. WHAT LEVEL OF FIRE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE MONTGOI£RY
AREA UPON ANNEXATION (INCLUDING PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION)?
There will be no change in the level of fire prevention and
suppression service. Both Chula Vista and Montgomery fire fighters
receive the same type of training and all are trained as Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMf). In addition, the City of Chula Vista has
a better fire insurance rating than does the Montgomery Fire
Protection Dfstrict.
11. WHAT LEVEL OF ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICE DO WE INTEND TO PROVIDE IN THE
IIJNTGOMERY AREA?
The City will provide the same level of animal control service
provided to Chula Vista citizens.

C. Soci a 1 Servi ces
12. HOII LONG IIIlL THE COUNTY CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE TIIO EXImNG
LIBRARY BRANCHES IN THE MllfTGOI€RY AREA AFTER ANNEXATION?
No change is expected for the foreseeable future in the level of
library service provided in the Montgomery area. If annexation is
successful, the Montgomery area will remain in the existing County
library districts with existing libraries being operated by the
County. However, even if there is no annexati on. the County may
choose to close the branch libraries in Montgomery due to budget
restraints and lack of revenue.
The ctty of Chula Vista is proposing in its FY1982-83 budget a
comprehensive facility study which will include library fac11ities
and exalline ongoing needs of the conmunity regarding library
services. If annexation occurs, the Montgomery area will be included
in this study.
13. HOII WILL THE LAUDERIlACH CCMI.INITY CENTER AND ADJACENT FOUR ACRE PARK
BE MAINTAINED ÁND OPERATED AfTER ANNEXATION?
Programs offered at lauderbach Conmuni ty Center are provi ded by a
contractor under the County; the City is currently negotiating
continued service with the contractor. Whether the Lauderbach
pro grail 1 s maintained by the contractor or the Chula Vista Parks a
Recreation Department, the current level of service available at the
Center w11l be continued or upgraded. The existing 4-acre park will
be upgraded to meet existing City standards.
D. Public Facilfties
14. HOII WILL IIINTGOMERY BE BROUGHT INTO TIlE CITY'S CAPITAL III'ROYDlENT
PROGRAM (CIP) PROCESS AFTER ANNEXATION?
For the first year the City Staff will work with the County Staff and
will integrate into the City's Capftal Improvement Progrlll those
projects already scheduled for construction by the County for the
next year. Thereafter a five year Capital Improvement Program will
be developed with input from the Montgomery area citizens and
integrated into the City's CIP.
The basic criteria used to evaluate which projects to include fn a
Capital Improvement Program are 1) money aveflab1e and 2) need for
the project. The Montgomery area w11 1 contribute money in the form
of gas tax and other taxes to the City of Chula Vista which can be
spent in that area for capital projects.

15a. HOII ifILL ANNEXATION AFFECT THE EXISTING MOHTGOMERY Sf:WER DISTRICT
AND THE EXISTING RESERVES?
On November 1, 1982, the Montgomery Sewer Distrfct will be dfsso1ved
and the City will take over sewer maintenance. Montgomery Sewer
District reserves will be placed in a separate account and used to
maintain and benefft the exfstfng Montgomery sewer system.
15b. HOW WILL THE SEIfER CHARGES IN THE MONTGOMERY AREA BE AFFECTED UPON
ANNEXATION?
There will be no change of sewer service charges for the near
future. However, as Mon tgomery Sewer Dfstri ct reserves are depleted
the Cfty wi11 review exfsting Montgomery sewer service and sewer
hookup charges and m~ establish new charges that reflect the
maintenance costs for the City wide system.
16. HOW WILL 11IE UPGRADING OF STREETS BE FUNDED IN THE MONTGOMERY AREA?
To a great extent this depends upon not only the condition of the
streets but thè interest of the Montgomery residents in improving the
streets. Gas tax and Block Grant Funds are of course eligible and
may be spent in this area, as indicated previously. However
assessment districts can also be formed if desired by the community.
17. WILL THE CITY'S EXISTING STREET TREE PROGRAM BE EXTENDED TO THE
MOffTGOÞERY AREA UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will extend its street tree program into the Montgomery area.
18. IIIAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE IDITGIJIERY STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT UPON
ANNEXATION, AND HOW WILL THAT AFFECT EXISTING STREET lIGlfTIt«;
STANDARDS IN THE MONTGCM:RY AREA?
Annexation will not affect the existing Montgomery Street lighting
District. However, since the District's lighting standards are
higher than the City's, the City will contribute an amount equivalent
to existing City lighting standards to assist in the p~ment of
energy costs and the maintenance of district lights.
19. HOW WILL STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION IN THE MONTGOMERY AREA BE AFFECTED
BY ANNEXATION?
lie expect the storm drain construction to be accelerated and flooding
potential decreased. This woul d occur through the development of a
comprehensive drainage plan and capftal improvement program for the
area as has been done with the rest of the Ci~.

E. Construction and Maintenance
20. WHAT STREET MAINTENANCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN MONTGCII:RY UPON
ANNEXATION?
overall street maintenance will improve upon annexation. City
maintenance standards are considerably higher than the county's.
potholes will be repafred more frequently, streets will be served
more frequently, and shoul ders on unimproved streets wi 11 be bl aded
(leveled) more frequently.
21. WHAT DRAINA6E MAINTE~E WILL BE PROVIDED IN MONTGOMERY UPON
AllllEXATI ON?
Drainage maintenance will improve after annexat10n. The Cf~ expects
to devote a considerable effort to bring the unimproved public
drainage channels up to City standards. We would expect to clean and
widen a significant number of channels and as funds permit to
construct a Ml ow- flow" program.

ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
The Applicant, Ms. Rhonda Valencia, is requesting permission on behalf of the Eastlake
Educational Foundation to conduct a weekly Certified Farmers' Market in the parking lot ofWal-
Mart at 1360 Eastlake Parkway (see Locator). The project will consist of the establishment of a
market to be held every Friday afternoon and involving at least twenty-one (21) certified farmers
as well as sixteen (16) food and miscellaneous craft vendors. Also proposed are the hosting of
seasonal activities, such as music, craft demonstrations and childrens' activities.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed project
qualifies for a Class I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of
the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution PCC-05-033; recommending that the City Council
approve the proposed establishment of a once-weekly Farmers' Market in the parking lot ofWal-
Mart at 1360 Eastlake Parkway, subject to the findings and conditions contained in the attached
draft City Council Resolution.
BOARDS AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On April 6, 2005, the Planning Commission considered the proposed project. Following staffs
presentation and public testimony, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council
approve the Conditional Use Permit.

Meetin;: Date: 4/1212005
DISCUSSION:
1. Project Background
In accordance with Section 19.58.148 of the ChuJa Vista Municipal Code, the City Council,
subsequent to its receipt of recommendations thereon from the Planning Commission, may
approve a Conditional Use Permit in order for a Certified Farmers' Market to operate.
A market operated by the same organization previously operated without City approval at
Eastlake Elementary School. With the adoption ofPCA-04-02 on April 6, 2004, Section
19.58.148 was added to the Municipal Code, thereby permitting the establishment of
Certified Farmers' Markets. The operator of this market was notified by Code Enforcement
that a Conditional Use Permit must be obtained, but prior to obtaining the permit the market
proposed to relocate. This permit will allow the same market to operate at the new location.
This project is proposed to be located at 1360 Eastlake Parkway, currently the location of an
existing new shopping center, and will operate every Friday afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00
p.m. during spring and summer, and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during fall and winter, regardless
of weather conditions. The proposed site ofthe activity is the southeastern section of the
parking lot which is closest to Eastlake Parkway. The area to be utilized will provide space
for the stalls to be set up, as well as the rides and parking for customers. Ample parking is
anticipated, since the site was intended for a much larger store footprint, and the required
number of spaces are designated for handicapped use.

4. Project Description
As the representative ofthe Eastlake Educational Foundation, Ms. Rhonda Valencia
proposes to operate a Farmers' Market every Friday afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00
p.m. during Spring and Summer, and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during fall and winter,
regardless of weather conditions, on the Wal-Mart site, occupying the parking lot in the
southeast area of the site. Her intent is to provide at least twenty-one vendors who are
Certified Agricultural Producers, and although she has firm commitments only from the
five she has worked with in the past, she expects to have at least sixteen more confirmed
by her opening day. At least another sixteen vendors will merchandise prepared foods
and arts and crafts, live music will be performed occasionally, and there will be children's
activities. The applicant plans to begin operations in April of 2005, and it is understood
that any extension or renewal of this use permit must be heard and acted upon by the City
Council. Complete plans of this proposal have been submitted (see Site Plan of
Attachment --.J.
5. Project Data Table
Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 643-020-65-00
Current Zoning: P-C
Land Use Designation: Commercial Retail
6. Staff Analysis
This large shopping center is located on the western edge of the Eastlake Greens residential
area. The space proposed for this Farmers' Market is in the southwest area of the Wal-Mart
site, closest to Eastlake Parkway before it intersects with Olympic Parkway.
The site plan indicates that the Farmers' Market is a relatively small endeavor, when
compared to the size of the shopping center. Because the Wal-Mart site is slated for future
expansion, there is more parking available than is likely to be used, and the activity is
reasonably-well removed from neighboring businesses. Traffic associated with this
Farmers' Market will not exceed the amount usually associated with shopping activities for
a commercial center of this size.
The establishment of a Farmers' Market at this location will provide an increased amount of
necessary and desirable service to the residents and businesses of Chula Vista. This is the
second recent application for a Farmers' Market in Chula Vista, the other intended to
operate some distance away at Southwestern College. That market is intended to function
on Saturday mornings, whereas this market proposes to operate on Friday afternoons. By
¿;:3
Page No.4, Item: j
Meeting Date: 4/12/2005
separating their locations and varying their operating times, both markets will thereby
provide service to a large number of Chula Vista residents.
Farmers' markets are a proven "sustainable" agricultural and consumer practice.
"Sustainability" is an enormous public policy advantage to the community. Another
advantage is that these markets become a place to meet friends and neighbors, thereby
building community. They have been found to help local retailers thrive in locations where
markets exist, since people will come out to shop and combine trips.
It has been stated by the applicant that the majority ofthe produce is of a variety and
freshness not typically available in retail stores. Local growers tend to practice organic
farming, resulting in fewer pesticides and fertilizers that cause pollution. Local Farmers'
Markets are a method of reducing environmental costs by avoiding the price oftransport of
agricultural products from further away, common when shopping at chain grocery stores.
The structures will be entirely temporary on this site and an adequate effort has been made
to limit the potential effects on passers-by and neighbors of the property.
Certified Farmers' Markets Development Standards (Chapter 19.58)
"Certified farmers' market" means a retail sales operation, generally outdoors, selling
predominantly fresh produce and/or flowers which is subject to the certification
regulations of the State of California Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures,
and the County of San Diego's Department of Environmental Health.
This market meets the above criteria, selling predominantly fresh produce and
flowers and being subject to the certification regnlations listed above.
Operational requirements for Certified Farmers' Markets (CVMC 19.58.148)
A certified farmers' market shall operate under the folowing rules:
A. Operational requirements:
I. A farmers' market shall operate no more than once a week, with the day and
hours of operation established by the conditional use permit.
This market is proposed to operate on Friday afternoons from 3:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m. in fall and winter and until 7:00 p.m. in spring and summer.
2. The sales area shall maintain a 25-foot setback from the street.
The sales area maintains the required setback.

4. The sales area shall be kept in a neat and well-kept manner at all times.
The operator has specifically agreed to keeping the sales area in a neat and
well-kept manner.

after said event.
2. Pennants may be used only for safety and precautionary purposes.
3. Price signs may be used only when of a size and location as to benefit the

V. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the [mdings required by
the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of Conditional Use Permits, as herein
below set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated
finding to be made.
1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the
neighborhood or the community.

providing for the sale of fresh produce and flowers to residents of Eastlake is a positive
feature which will contribute to the general well-being of both the neighborhood and the
community at large.

detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare to the
general public, or be injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The market

concerns, provide for trash accumulation and restrooms and will be of a temporary
nature, with removal of stalls and equipment accomplished at the end of the day's events.

in the code for such use.
The proposed use shall comply with the conditions of Conditional Use Permit, PCC-05-

applicable regulations and standards specified in the Municipal Code for such use. The
proposed use is also in accordance with Municipal Code Section 19.58.148, which now
allows Certified Farmers' Markets. Furthermore, the conditions of this permit are
approximately in proportion to the nature and extent of the impact created by the
proposed development in that the conditions imposed are directly related to and of a

4. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
General Plan ofthe City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the Chula Vista

MEETING DATE: 04/12/05
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AUTHORIZING THE ADDITION OF ONE UNCLASSIFIED
SENIOR DEPUTY CITY CLERK POSITION TO THE CITY CLERK'S
OFFICE #
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Bigelow, MMC, City Clerk
4/5THS VOTE REQUIRED:
DYes I:i'No
The purpose of this report is to seek authorization for the addition of a Senior Deputy City Clerk
position. The position will allow the City Clerk's Office to assume major responsibilities on
behalf of other departments and successfully carry out current and long-term City Clerk work
pro grams and goals.
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt the resolution adding one Senior Deputy City Clerk position to the City Clerk's
Office.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Rapid growth in the City and organization, as well as increased services provided by the City
Clerk's Office, have significantly increased the workload of the department over the past few
years. Much of the workload of the office is generated by or responsive to other departments,
which have grown in recen~ years and since City Clerk staffing levels were last evaluated.
The major challenge at this time is to continue to provide existing levels of service. Out of
necessity, some important services have been relegated to a lower priority in order to address the
day-to-day workload. The Office is no longer able to move forward with major projects and
programs. Furthermore, other departments have requested significant, additional support from
the City Clerk's Office. Several departments have asked City Clerk staff to provide immediate
training and assistance in converting to the citywide records management program adopted by
the Council in 1993. Some departments need to do the conversion prior to moving into the new
City Hall in September 2005 because of standardized filing equipment that will be installed in
the new facilities. In addition, the City Clerk's Office has been asked to assume the RDA
agenda process, as well as process and maintain all RDA resolutions and contracts. By assuming
these duties at this time, RDA staff time will be freed to assume new responsibilities related to
the soon-to-be formed Urban Development Corporation.
6-1
The request for the Senior Deputy position is made at this time to enable the department to
immediately provide records management expertise to several departments, prior to the move to
the new City Hall in September, and assume the Redevelopment Agency agenda process. Both
of these are major, additional undertakings. (The Council agenda process alone requires the
equivalent of between 1.2 and 1.5 positions.) For the remainder of the current fiscal year and the
first three months of fiscal year 2006, the Senior Deputy would:
· Provide the immediate technical expertise and oversight needed for records
conversions and
· Assist with the additional workload created by the assumption of the RDA agenda
process and RDA contract and resolution processing.
Once the major records projects have been completed, the Senior Deputy would also:
· Absorb some duties now performed by other staff to allow them to return to their
primary functions and reduce extra-heavy workloads.
· Serve as filing/review officer for campaign and conflict of interest statements.
· Assist in election-related duties and preparing candidate materials.
· Review and edit Council, Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority and Public
Financing Authority minutes, resolutions and ordinances to ensure accuracy.
· Prepare a detailed City Clerk procedures manual for current and future staff.
· Participate, along with the City Clerk, in preparing a citywide update of records
retention schedules.
· Assist in establishing and overseeing the passport services program, should it be
implemented in the future.
· Assist with special projects as assigned.
Due to the proposed scope and complexity of duties to be performed by the Senior Deputy City
Clerk, it is critical that the person selected for the position have extensive City Clerk experience
and be familiar with current legal requirements with respect to elections, campaign finance
reform, statements of econornic interests, and public records.
The City Clerk's Office currently has 7.5 staff members. No new staff members have been
added to the department since 2000. The staffing projection prepared by a City consultant for
the Civic Center Master Plan indicated 9.25 staff are needed for current services at the current
population. A recent survey of California City Clerks was performed to determine the scope of
services offered and staffing levels. It was determined that services offered by City Clerks'
Offices vary greatly from city to city, and very few larger cities offer the comprehensive records
management and document imaging services that we provide to all departments. The following
chart shows some cities that do, along with their staffing levels:
City Population # Staff Co=ents
Irvine 183,000 12.00
Pasadena 142,202 15.35 8 ill Official Records Division, 4 ill Records
Management Division, 3.35 in mailroom
Berkelev 103,000 12.00 Down from 15 due to budget cuts
Thousand Oaks 120,000 10.00
Torrance 144,400 9.00 Does "some" imallinll
Oceanside 169,805 9.00
Carlsbad 90,271 8.00 No storalle, retrieval or destruction
Escondido 138,015 8.00
6-2
Based upon current and projected workloads, it is reco=ended that the City Clerk's Office add
one middle management, unclassified Senior Deputy City Clerk position with an E step salary of
$85,800 ($119,394 Salary and Benefits), which is approximately rnidway between the Assistant
City Clerk and Deputy City Clerk positions. The Redevelopment Agency currently reimburses
the City Clerk's budget annually, since the City Clerk's staff attend and prepare minutes and
action agendas for RDA meetings. On an on-going basis, the Redevelopment Agency would
fund approximately 50% of the proposed position to cover costs associated with the transfer of
the RDA agenda process, resolutions and contracts to the City Clerk's Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Due to anticipated savings in the City Clerk's operating budget, there will be no fiscal impact to
the General Fund in fiscal year 2005. The ongoing cost of the position will be approximately
$119,394, which will be funded approximately 50% by the General Fund and 50% by the
Redevelopment Agency.
If at any time tax increment revenues are insufficient to fund this position, the impact to the
General Fund will be approximately $119,394 on an ongoing basis. Since ongoing General Fund
resources have not yet been identified to fund this ongoing expense, approval of this action may
require offsetting budget reductions in future years.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 7
Meeting Date: 04/12/05
ITEM TITLE:
Report: Review and proposed comments regarding the Draft San Diego
County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Resolution of the City Council of the City ofChula Vista accepting a report
from staff concerning the Draft Airport Land Use Commission Compatibility
Plan and authorizing the City Manager to send a comment letter on said plan
to the Airport Land Use Commission.
SUBMITTED BY:
Director of Planning and Building
ÎLt- <V
City Manager {!J kJ (),
(4/5 Vote: Yes_No ~
REVIEWED BY:
As required by State law, the San Diego County Airport Land Use Commission is proposing a new
San Diego County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for 16 public-use and military airports,
including Brown Field. The purpose of the plan is to promote compatibility between airports and the
land uses that surround them. Staff has reviewed the draft plan and is prepared to forward comments
by the April 15 deadline. This report presents results of the review.
RECOMMENDATION:
That in accordance with the attached Resolution the City Council accept the report, and direct the
City Manager to send a letter to the San Diego County Airport Land Use Commission expressing the
City's concerns with the draft San Diego County Land Use Compatibility Plan.
BOARDS AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
1. Background
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, in its capacity as the Airport Land Use
Commission (Airport Commission) for San Diego County, is mandated by state legislation to prepare
and adopt a new San Diego County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Compatibility Plan) by
June 30, 2005, addressing 16 public-use and military airports in the county. The Airport
Commission has solicited comments on the Draft San Diego County Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan (Compatibility Plan) with a deadline of April 15, 2005. Brown Field is the only airport with an
Airport Influence Area (AlA) that impacts the City of Chula Vista's planning area so that is our
7-1
Page No.2, Item: '7
Meetin~ Date: 04/12/05
focus. The Draft Compatibility Plan provides countywide policies and supplemental policies tailored
to individual airports. Each airport will have that portion of the Compatibility Plan focused on
policies pertaining to it adopted independently, thus constituting its Compatibility Plan. If
amendments to the adopted Compatibility Plans occur in the future they will be handled
independently and no more than once a year. The Draft Compatibility Plan does not have a direct
impact on existing land uses.
As a result of a formal application that the City of Chula Vista subrnitted for a consistency fmding
by the Airport Commission for our Draft General Plan Update (GPU), the Commission took action
on April 4, 2005, and found that the Draft GPU is consistent with the current adopted Brown Field
Compatibility Plan. However, because the Draft Compatibility'Plan proposes comprehensive
changes our GPU will need to be reviewed for consistency after adoption of the Compatibility Plan.
It should be noted that the Draft Compatibility Plan is based on an airport master plan or an airport
layout plan that reflects the anticipated growth of the airport during at least the next 20 years. For
Brown Field those estimates represent approximately double the airport activity experienced today.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental analysis of the Compatibility Plan will
be addressed for each individual airport through individual Draft Negative Declarations, with the
exception of Lindbergh field which will have an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Draft
Negative Declaration for Brown Field was issued for a 30-day review period on March 28,2005.
Staff will be reviewing and commenting on that document this month.
2. Draft Compatibility Plan Criteria
The Draft Compatibility Plan proposes policies and criteria aimed at addressing the following key
airport activity concerns with regard to adjacent land uses:
· Noise - minimize the number of people exposed to frequent and/or high levels of airport
noise capable of disrupting noise-sensitive activities
· Overflight - consider impacts of aircraft overflights over a community
· Safety - protect people and property on the ground near airports
· Airspace Protection - protect airport capacity and safety by identifYing airspace
obstructions and other hazards to air navigation
The Airport Influence Area (AlA), extending 1,400 ft. out from the centerline of the Brown Field
Airport, is the area in which current or future airport-related noise, overflight, safety and/or airspace
protection factors may significantly affect land uses or necessitate restrictions on those uses (See
Attachment I for map). The AlA sets the limits of the area within which proposed land use projects
are to be referred to the Airport Commission for review. The Draft Compatibility Plan establishes
basic compatibility criteria within zones ranging from A to E extending out rrom Brown Field. The
Plan considers Brown Field to be a "suburban area" location versus an airport location designated
"urban". The compatibility requirements are more restrictive for the suburban.
7-2
Page No.3, Item: 1
Meetin¡: Date: 04/12/05
Portions of the City of Chula Vista General Plan area are impacted by the outer zones D and E (See
Attachment 2). Zone E extends to cover land uses planned and existing on the southerly portion of
Otay Ranch (south of the Eastern Urban Center) and areas south of Olympic Parkway, north of East
Main Street, and east ofInterstate 805. Zone D extends to include non-residential uses south of East
Maï.n Street, including Auto Park I, Auto Park East, Coors Amphitheater and Knott's Soak City
water park. Zone C criteria will only impact property located south of the Otay River Valley and east
of Heritage Road, currently being considered for change to industrial land uses through the City's
Draft General Plan Update. The following table summarizes the type of criteria that the Draft
Compatibility Plan proposes within each zone (please see Attachment 3 for actual compatibility
criteria).
. Summarv ofBasic Comnatibilitv Criteria for Brown Field
Zones Locations Prohihited Uses
A Runway Protection Zone No structures except aeronautical, new residences, assemblages of
people, storaªe of hazardous materials, tall structures
BI Inner Approach/Departure No children's schools, day care centers, libraries, hospitals, places of
Zone worship, amphitheaters, above ground bulk storage of hazardous
materials, structures above 35 ft.
B2 Adjacent to Runway No children's schools, day care centers, libraries, hospitals, places of
worship, amphitheaters, above ground bulk storage of hazardous
materials, nower nlants, electrical substations, structures above 35 ft.
C Extended No children's schools, day care centers, libraries, hospitals,
Approach/Departure Zone amnhitheaters, structures above 70 ft.
D Primary Traffic Patterns No amphitheaters, structures ahove 70 ft., children's schools
and Runwav Buffer Area discouraªèd
E Other Airoort Environs Structures above 100 ft., amuhitheaters discouraged
The Draft Compatibility Plan will require that local jurisdictions make their general plans and
affected specific plans consistent with the Plan, and cooperate with the Airport Commission to
submit for review selected land use actions, regulations (zone changes, building regulations, etc.),
and permits within the AlA.
Existing uses, which are not impacted by the Airport Compatibility Plan, are defined as "a land use
that either physically exists or for which local government commitments to the proposal have been
obtained; that is, no further discretionary approvals are necessary." Local government commitments
to a proposal can usually be considered firm once one or more of the following have occurred:
A tentative parcel or subdivision map has been approved and not expired;
A vesting tentative parcel or subdivision map has been approved;
A development agreement has been approved and remains in effect;
A final subdivision map has been recorded;
A use permit or other discretionary entitlement has been approved and not yet expired; or
A valid building permit has been issued.
7-3
Page No.4, Item: 7
Meeting Date: 04/12/05
Existing Nonconforming uses, that are not consistent with the· Compatibility Criteria (See
Attachment 3) are subject to special conditions including:
That nonresidential development may be continued, leased, or sold and the facilities may be
maintained or altered provided that the portion of the site devoted to the nonconforming use
is not expanded and the usage intensity is not increased above the levels existing at the time
of adoption of the Compatibility Plan.
Airport Commission review is required for any proposed expansion of a nonconforming use.
The Compatibility Plan recognizes that there may be specific situations where a normally
incompatible use can be considered compatible because of terrain, specific location, or other
extraordinary factors or circumstances related to the site or its proposed use. A 2/3 ' s vote of
the full Commission is required to approve an expansion and findings are required as to why
an exception is being made and that the land use will not create a safety hazard to people on
the ground or aircraft in flight nor result in excessive noise exposure for the proposed use.
Additionally, fmdings as to the nature of the extraordinary circumstances that warrant the
policy exception are required.
Reconstruction of a nonconforming nonresidential use may occur provided that the cost to repair is
no more than 75% of the assessor's full cash value of the structure at the time of the damage and that
the reconstruction does not amount to an increase in floor area or intensity of use.
3. Draft Compatibility Plan Implementation
Local agencies will be required to modify their general plan and any affected specific plans to be
consistent with the Compatibility Plan. The law states that the local agency must take this action
within 180 days of when the Airport Commission adopts or amends its plan. Any major land use
actions (e.g., general plan amendments, specific plans, rezonings, zoning ordinance amendments or
building regulations that involves the "airport activity concerns" listed in Section 2 above) must be
submitted for commission review until local agencies have made their general plans consistent with
the Compatibility Plan. The Airport Commission requests that any major actions continue to be
submitted on a voluntary basis after this occurs. Other land use actions requiring submittal for
review include redevelopment action on a property for which the existing use is consistent with the
general plan and/or specific plan, but nonconforming with the compatibility criteria of the
Compatibility Plan.
Pending a consistency finding by the Airport Commission on the local agency's general plan, the
following actions affecting land uses within Compatibility Zones A through D may also require
consistency review:
Sphere of influence changes
Pre-zonings
7-4
Page No.5, Item: 1
Meetinli: Date: 04/12/05
Proposed development agreements (or amendments)
Discretionary development proposal for projects having a building floor area of 20,000
square feet or greater
Major capital improvements (e.g., water, sewer, or roads) which would promote more urban
uses in undeveloped or agricultural areas to the extent that such uses are not reflected in a
previously reviewed general plan or specific plan
Proposed land acquisition by a government entity for any facility accommodating a
congregation of people (for example, a school or hospital)
Proposals for new development (including buildings, antennas, and other structures) having a
height of more than 50 ft. for Compatibility Zone C, and 70 ft. for Compatibility Zone D.
Within Compatibility Zone E, any structure taller than 100 ft. will require a consistency review.
The review process for community land use plans and ordinances must include submittal to the
Airport Commission for review prior to fmal approval by the local agency. Where applicable, the
Airport Commission is required to provide public notice and obtain public input before acting on any
plan, regulation, or other land use proposal under consideration. The Airport Commission must
respond to a local agency's request for a consistency determination within 60 days from submittal.
The Commission has three choices of action: I) Find the proposed project consistent, 2) Find the
proposed project consistent with adherence with specific conditions, or 3) Find the proposed project
inconsistent.
For other major land use actions (e.g., projects pending until the General Plan is found consistent
with the Compatibility Plan, and projects listed above that occur in zones A through D), the review
process will involve submittal to the Airport Commission's staff forreview under the same response
times as for Commission subrnittals. The same findings can be made as the Commission's; however,
if the staff review finds that the proposed project is inconsistent, then it will be forwarded to the
Airport Commission for a consistency determination.
If a local agency proposes to overrule an Airport Commission action it must provide 45 days notice
and a copy of the proposed decision and findings to both the Commission and the California
Division of Aeronautics.
4. Staff Analysis and Concerns
In reviewing the Compatibility Plan impacts on the City ofChula Vista staff has identified a number
of areas of concern. Compared to several other agencies that have airports within or adjacent to
them, Chula Vista is relatively minimally impacted. Concerns range from restrictions on the
'expansion of existing uses, to structure height limitations to process review timeframes and potential
conditions for consistency. Staff intends to prepare a letter to the Airport Commission citing our
concerns and will include any additional concerns that Council wishes to make. The following are
staff concerns:
7-5
Page No.6, Item: 7
Meeting Date: 04/12/05
a. Expansion potential for Nonconforming Uses
The Coors Amphitheater and Knott's Soak City are located within Compatibility Zone D. Because
of the assemblage of people that occurs with these facilities, the Compatibility Plan recognizes these
sites as nonconforming, and subject to policies that discourage future potential expansion.
Additionally, support uses for these recreation venues that may be proposed in the vicinity could be
considered inconsistent with the Plan. This Plan may have an adverse econornic effect on realizing
the full potential envisioned for this area, including the ability to provide all desired amenities and
services convenient for visitors to the area venues.
Although the area is within Zone D, it is geographically located well below the airport elevation on
Otay Mesa and peripheral to the existing flight operations. Staffbelieves these factors should also be
taken into consideration.
b. Structure Heights
Structures above 70 ft. within Compatibility Zone D, which includes the Auto Park area on the south
side of East Main Street, will require the Airport Commission staff review. This may affect existing
proposals for architectural features above 70 ft. in height if fmal discretionary approvals have not
been granted, and any future similar proposals. The Compatibility Plan does not consider the fact
that the development along East Main Street is significantly below the level ofOtay Mesa and the
airport and therefore, should exempt non-habitable structures of this height
c. Suburban and Rural Areas vs Urban Areas Criteria
Brown Field has been identified as an Airport in a "Suburban and Rural Area." The results of this
designation involve more restrictive criteria impacting uses, including amphitheaters and other
residential and nonresidential uses. Examples of other airports that have been classified as "Urban"
include: Gillespie Field, McClellan-Palomar, Montgomery Field and NOLF Imperial Beach. With
planned uses on the Otay Mesa, as well as on the Otay Ranch and in Otay Valley, Brown Field
should be considered as being similar to at least some of these other Urban airports and criteria be
similarly applied.
d. Economic Impacts
While the Compatibility Plan will have far-reaching economic impacts with respect to countywide
plans for development, the City of Chula Vista is most concerned with the effects that the Plan will
have on potential plans for tourist-related support commercial uses near existing recreation venues
within the Otay Valley.
e. Plan Adoption Timeframe
7-6
Page No.7; Item: 1
Meetin¡; Date: 04/12/05
The Compatibility Plan is proposed for adoption by June 30, 2005 and the Airport Commission has
conducted avery recent public input process, including a workshop in the South Bay area. However,
there has not been adequate time to negotiate with the Commission staff on the finer points of the
Compatibility Plan, as it affects Chula Vista. Through discussions with stafffrom other jurisdictions,
this concern was also expressed. Therefore, staff will be requesting a minimum 60-dayextension of
time for adoption of the Plan to enable staff to address our concerns that may result in, at least,
special conditions relating to land uses of concern within the Brown Field Airport Influence Area.
f. Consistency of the General Plan Update under the Proposed Draft Compatibility Plan
It is anticipated that Council will be taking action to adopt a comprehensive update to the General
Plan by this summer. Policies calling for consistency with the Draft Compatibility Plan have not
been included in the draft GPU documents, given the very recent release of the Draft Compatibility
Plan, its draft status, and the lack of clarity as to what types of policy the Authority would request in
affected General Plans. Based on the above outlined analysis of the Draft Compatability Plan, staff
does not anticipate any major land use conflicts with the GPU (beyond those noted with respect to
the Otay Valley Rd area near the amphitheater and water park), and believes that our GPU would be
found to be largely consistent with the new Compatability Plan. Although still conjecture at this
time, it is likely that the Authority may request that we add policies to our GP regarding the need to
restrict certain uses within the AlA, and to require that local plans be consistent with the
Compatibility Plan.
If the Compatibility Plan is adopted prior to the updated General Plan (which is the current
schedule), the City may be required to condition adoption of the General Plan on adopting
consistency policies within six months (180-days) of the Compatibility Plan's adoption, and
obtaining a consistency fmding from the Airport Commission for our Plan. Prior to this fmding, all
major projects or land use actions that have the potential to conflict with the Compatibility Plan
policies may need to be submitted to the Airport Commission staff for review.
5. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council accept this report and authorize the City Manager to prepare
and submit a letter of comment to the Airport Commission by the April 15, 2005 deadline. The
issues above, as well as any additional Council comments, will be included in this letter.
FISCAL IMP ACTS:
7-7
Page No.8, Item: '1
Meetin~ Date: 04/12/05
Fiscal impacts related to adoption of the Compatibility Plan are not known. The costs for major
infrastructure projects and economic development projects that are subject to a consistency review
could be impacted, depending on any conditions that might be applied by the Airport Commission.

COUNTYWIDE POLICIES CHAPTER 2
NOTES:
1 See Appendix C for a discussion of the concepts associated with these criteria.
2 Except for the two options provided for Zone 0, residential development must not contain more than the indicated number of
dwelling units (excluding secondary units) per gross acre. Clustering of units is encouraged. See Polley 5.2.5 for limitations.
Gross acreage includes the property at issue plus a share of adjacent roads and any adjacent, permanently dedicated, open
lands. In compatibility zones where residential uses are aHowed, mixed-use development in which residential uses are pro-
posed to be located in conjunction with nonresidential uses in the same or adjoining buildings on the same site shall be
treated as nonresidential development. Noise level reduction and avigation easement requirements for the compatibility
zone in which the dwellings are to be located are to be applied. See Policy 3.1.4(e).
3 Usage intensity calculations shall include all people (e.g., employees, customers/visitors, etc.) who may be on the property
at a single point in time, whether indoors or outside. See Appendix D for sample calculation methodology.
4 Open land requirements are intended to be applied with respect to an entire zone. This is typically accomplished as part of a
community general plan or a specific plan, but may also apply to large (10 acres or more) development projects. See Policy
5.2.4 for definition of open land.
S The uses listed here are ones that are expiicitly prohibited regardless of whether they meet the intensity criteria. In addition to
these explicitly prohibited uses, other uses will not be permitted in the respective compatibility zones because they do not
meet the usage intensity criteria.
13 As part of certain real estate transactions involving residential property within any compatibility zone (that is, anywhere within
an airport influence area), information regarding airport proximity and the existence of aircraft overflights must be disclosed.
This requirement is set by state law. See Policy 5.4.2 for details. Easement dedication and deed notice requirements indi-
cated for specific compatibility zones apply only to new development and to reuse if discretionary approval is required.
1 The total number of people permitted on a project site at any time, except rare special events, must not exceed the indicated
usage intensity times the gross acreage of the site. Rare special events are ones (such as an air show at the airport) for
which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which extra safety precautions can be taken as appropriate.
13 Clustering of nonresidential development is permitted. However, no single acre of a project site shall exceed the indicated
number of people per acre. See Policy 5.2.5 for details.
9 An intensity bonus for single-acre areas may be allowed if the building design includes features intended to reduce risks to
occupants ~n the event of an aircraft collision with the building. Criteria for site-wide average must still be met. The intensity
bonus does not apply to runways routinely used by large aircraft (aircraft having a maximum certificated takeoff weight of
more than 12,500 pounds). See Policy 5.2.6 for details.
10 Hazards to flight include physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of inter1erence with the safety of aircraft op-
erations. Land use development that may cause the attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited. See Policy 5.3.7.
11 Examples of highly noise-sensitive outdoor nonresidential uses that should be prohibited include amphitheaters and drive-in
theaters. Caution should be exercised with respect to uses such as poultry farms and nature preserves.
\2 Storage of aviation fuel and other aviation· related flammable materials on the airport is exempted from this criterion. Storage
of up to 6,000 gallons of nonaviation flammable materials is also exempted. Manufacture or aboveground storage of other
hazardous materials is discouraged in Zone C and remainder of Zone 82. See Policy 5.2.3(c) for details.
'3 Critical community facilities include power plants, electrical substations, and public communications facilities. See Policy
5.2.3(d) for details.
'4 See Policy 3.1.7 for explanation of the term "discouraged."
,.5 NLR = Noise Level Reduction, the outside-to-inside sound level attenuation that the structure provides. See Policy 5.1.6.
113 Objects up to 35 feet in height are permitted. However, the Federal Aviation Administration may require marking and lighting
of certain objects. See Policy 5.3.6 for details.
11 This height criterion is for general guidance. Shorter objects normally will not be airspace obstructions unless situated at a
ground elevation well above that of the airport. Taller objects may be acceptable if determined not be Qbstructions. See Po-
licies 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.
16 Two options are provided for residential densities in Compatibility Zone D. Option (1) has a density limit of 0.2 dwelling units
per gross acre (i.e., an average parcel size of at least 5.0 gross acres). Option (2) requires that the density be greater than
5.0 dwelling units per net acre (I.e., an average parcel size less than 0.2 net acres). The choice between these two options is
at the discretion of the local land use jurisdiction. See Appendix C for explanation of rationale. All other criteria for Zone D
apply to both options.
19 Although no explicit upper limit on usage intensity is defined for Zone E, land uses of the types listed-uses that attract very
high concentrations of people in confined areas-are discouraged in locations below or near the principal arrival and depar·
ture flight tracks. This limitation notwithstanding, no use shall be prohibited in Zone E if its usage intensity is such that it
would be permitted in Zone D.
