and The City Council finds, based on the evidence presented at the meeting, the City's General Plan, and the various reports and information received by the City Council in the ordinary course of its business, that the imposition of traffic impact fees on all development in the eastern territories for which building permits have not been issued is necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare and in order to assure effective implementation of the City's General Plan;

and The City Council finds it is necessary to ensure the timely payment of the "DIF program monitoring" cost item, included in Table H "Program Funding Requirements" of the financial and engineering study, "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees for Streets" dated March, 2005, to adequately fund ongoing and future administration activities and studies.

' " Alex Al-Agha City Engineer 1-8 Item 2- Meeting Date 12/13/2005 COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM TITLE: Report Regarding the Development Impact Fee (DIF), Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fee, and Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005 SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance ~ City Engineer REVIEWED BY: ./I" )r7'f: City Manager jI ;fL )' (4/5THS Vote: Yes_NoX) BACKGROUND: State Government Code Section 66000 requires local agencies assessing Development Impact Fees (DIF) and sewer capacity charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal year. It also requires that the local agency provide this information to the public for a minimum of fifteen days prior to reviewing this information at a public meeting. These reports satisfY that requirement and have been available in the City Clerk's office for public review since November 28, 2005. We have also included the report on Parkland Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees in the same report for ease of reference and convenience to the public. Local agencies are also required to make findings every five years for any DIF funds remaining unexpended that identifY the purpose of the fee and demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged. This year, there are no unexpended fees that were on deposit for five or more years. RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. DISCUSSION: The City of Chula Vista has several types of Development Impact Fees, Parkland Acquisition and Development fees, and Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fees, which were assessed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. The major categories of DIFs are for transportation, traffic signal, park, drainage, sewer and public facilities. The Transportation DIF was increased in October 2-1 . Item 2- Meeting Date 12/13/2005 2004 from $8,290 to $8,825 per single family equivalent dwelling wlit (EDU). The Traffic Signal fee, last updated in October 2003, was increased by Council in October 2004 from $24.04 to $25.59 per average daily vehicle trip to account for inflation. The Salt Creek Sewer Basin fee was increased in August 2004 from $284 to $1,330 per single family EDU, and the Public Facilities fee was increased in June 2005 from $5,048 to $5,480 per single family EDU. The fees for the Interim SR125 and the Pumped Sewer were repealed in fiscal year 2005. Other existing DIFs remain at the same rate as the previous year. DEVELOPMENTIMWACTFEES TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMWACT FEE This fee was adopted on January 12, 1988 by Ordinance 2251 to finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities so that streets are built when needed. This fee is applicable to all new development east of 1-805. Prior to the program, streets were built by developers in a fragmented fashion with 6-lane facilities, necking down to 2-lanes and expanding back to 6 lanes again. In addition, there was a fairness issue since some developers fronted on large streets and others did not. Now all developers in the Eastern portion of Chula Vista pay the same fee per dwelling wlit and either the City constructs the street or a developer does. If the developer constructs the street they will receive a TransDIF fee credit when they apply for a building permit. The fee for FY05 was $8,825 per equivalent dwelling wlit. The fees for other land use types, as well as detailed FY05 financial information, are presented in Attachment A _ Schedule 1. INTERIM SR-125 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE This fee was adopted by the City to fmance transportation facilities in the Eastern Territories that would be needed to provide adequate and safe transportation facilities if there are delays in the construction of State Route (SR) 125 by CALTRANS or others. In April of 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2959 tolling the Interim (SR) 125 DIF and amending Ordinance 2579 Section 1 (c) to authorize the expenditure of Interim (SR) 125 fees on transportation enhancing projects or transportation programs related to State Route 125. On May 10, 2005, the City Council under Resolution 2005-156, authorized the transfer of the remaining fund balance of the Interim State Route 125 Development Impact Fee fund to the Transportation Development Impact Fee fund for several capacity enhancing improvements, including overpasses of the SR- 125 at Rock Mountain Road and Otay Valley. Detailed FY05 fmancial information is presented in Attachment A - Schedule 2. 2-2 Item l- Meeting Date 12/13/2005 TRAFFIC SIGNAL FEE This fee was adopted to provide for the projected traffic signal needs of the City that result from increases in traffic volume caused by development. As funds are accumulated they are expended on traffic signal projects. This is a citywide fee with a FY05 rate of $25.59 per trip generated. Detailed FY05 fmancial information is presented in Attachment A - Schedule 3. TELEGRAPH CANYON DRAINAGE DlF This fee is applicable to all new development within the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Basin and has remained unchanged since 1998.

Detailed FY05 financial information is presented in Attachment A - Schedule 5. PUMPED SEWER DlF This fee was adopted by the City to fmance the facilities necessary to the Telegraph Canyon sewer main due to out-of-basin flows from the Salt Creek Basin. The name was changed from Telegraph Canyon Sewer Pumped Flows Development Impact Fee to Pumped Sewer Development Impact Fee due to the addition of Poggi Canyon Basin Sewer Interceptor as one of the facilities financed by this fee. The fee was repealed in November 2004 under Ordinance 2990-A due to the construction of Salt Creek Trunk Sewer and there is no longer any need to pump flows out of the Salt Creek Basin. Detailed FY05 fmancial information is presented in Attachment A - Schedule 5 POGGI CANYON SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE This fee was adopted to provide the necessary financing to construct a trunk sewer in the Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin from a proposed regional trunk sewer west of 1-805 along Olympic Parkway to the boundary of Eastlake.

SALT CREEK SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE This fee was adopted to provide the necessary fmancing to construct the Salt Creek Interceptor. 2-3 . Item :t- Meeting Date 12/13/2005 This fee is applicable to the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, a portion of the Upper Otay Lake Basin north of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, Wolf Canyon Basin, and a portion of the Lower Otay Lake Basin east of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin. The fee was increased in August 2004 from $284 to $1,330 per EDU under Ordinance 2974-A dated August 17, 2004. Detailed FY05 fmancial information is presented in Attachment A - Schedule 5.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of General Services ~ 'JY City Manager 11 ~~Jl K (4/Sths Vote: Yes..x... No--> REVIEWED BY: The City Council previously approved a Design Build agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. by Resolution 2004-187 for the provision of services necessary to design and construct upgrades and replacements to the Nature Center Interior Exhibits (Nature Center Galleria Remodel) capital improvement project, GG175 and the first amendment to the agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. to incorporate additional design services by Resolution 2004-393. The project is nearing the end of the design phase and ready to start the construction phase in January 2006. This resolution will set the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) per the Design Build Agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. for this project, amending the date of Substantial and Final Completion, ascertaining prevailing wage and appropriating additional funds therefore. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the second amendment of the Design Build Agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc., amend the date of Substantial and Final Completion, ascertain prevailing wage and appropriate additional funds therefore. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: City Council previously approved an agreement and first amendment with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. for the services required to design and construct upgrades and replacements to the Nature Center Interior Exhibits (Nature Center Galleria Remodel). 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 construct upgrades and replacements to the Nature Center Interior Exhibits (Nature Center Galleria Remodel) capital improvement project, GG 175. A not to exceed amount of $864,531 was established after approval of the First Amendment, based upon rough schematic drawings, in the Design Build agreement. Staff recognized at that time that the increase in design services, 3-1 Page 2, Item: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 3 caused by significant scope increases, would cause the proj ect to exceed the not to exceed price beyond $864,531. . As the design progressed the project scope changed significantly. Once comprehensive investigations were made into the existing facility, how it was constructed and its current condition, it became clear that the project needed to transform from a replacement of the exhibits to a much more substantial renovation to the facility. It did not make sense to invest any amount of money in new exhibits once the actual conditions of the building were ascertained. For example, the facility has cast iron pipe throughout. This type of pipe was found in both waste lines and in salt-water conveyance lines for the existing exhibits. Needless to say, cast iron and waste/salt are not the optimum situation and this pipe needs to be removed and replaced with new PVC lines. Digging up and removing much of this pipe had many trickle down impacts including a complete remodel of the restrooms (this also needed to occur to bring them up to current ADA standards). There are a number of other elements that arose such as prevailing wage requirements (due to grant awards), modifications of the existing life support systems, installation of new PVC lines throughout the facility, and new flooring in the main lobby, classrooms and auditorium. For these major reasons, the actual GMP as determined at the 90% construction drawing stage exceeded the not to exceed amount in the original agreement. The project budget also contains a significant contingency. Having learned some of the issues from the building that we could see prior to removing the existing exhibits, staff is concerned that there will be other surprises within the walls of the building once those exhibits are removed. PROJECT SCOPE AND CONTRACTUAL REOUIREMENTS The Design-Build Agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. provides the City with upgraded and/or replacement of interior exhibits at the Nature Center. The general scope of work and completion dates of the Original Agreement will be amended to include but is not limited to the following: Design and construction of upgraded and/or replacement of interior exhibits at the Nature Center. The facility shall include, but not be limited to all components as outlined in the Chula Vista Nature Interior Remodel Project Programming. Substantial Completion: Achieve "Substantial Completion" (as defined in 916.1) no later than July 3, 2006. Achieve "Final Completion" (as defined in 916.2) No later than 30 calendar days after Substantial Completion. CHANGE ORDERS Under the designlbuild process, change orders are handled differently than under the designlbid/build process. Change orders are only returned for Council approval 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 3-2 Page 3, Item: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 -. design builder. This practice IS commonplace when usmg the designlbuild construction technique. FUNDING Through previous actions, Council approved a resolution authorizing the Nature Center to apply for a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (L WCF) for a potential request in the amount of $210,00 for this project. Although funding was not received from the LWCF program, Nature Center staff recently received verification of an approval of a State Coastal Conservancy Grant in the amount of $350,000 for the construction of one of the exhibits of the project, the Green Sea Turtle Exhibit. Nature Center staff and volunteers continue to diligently develop fmancial participation from the Friends of the Chula Vista Nature Center, the County, US Fish and Wildlife Service and other local grant making agencies. To date, monies raised and grant funds total approximately $1.2 million. The overall cost of the project is $3,374,736 as outlined in the fiscal impact. A portion of the Nature Center project will be financed concurrently with the Civic Center Phase II financing. It is anticipated that the sale of certificates of participation will occur in February of 2006. In advance of that date, staff is recommending an interim loan and appropriation from the Trunk Sewer Reserve Fund in the amount of $3,037,787 whereby the entire amount will be reimbursed from the bond proceeds or the sale of certificates of participation. PREV AILING WAGE In accordance with Section 1773 (1770-1781) of the Labor Code as applicable, the City ofChula Vista has ascertained the general prevailing rate of wages applicable to the work to be done on the Green Sea Turtle exhibit. The Original Agreement will be amended to include the payment of Prevailing Wage as notified by a provision of the State Coastal Conservancy Grant. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of tonight's resolution will authorize an inter-fund loan and appropnation of $3,018,051 from the available balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund. As discussed above, it is the staff's intention to request Council to finance the cost of the project as part of the financing for Phase 2 of the Civic Center. Any costs incurred to the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund will be reimbursed from the proceeds of that financing. The debt service on that financing will be paid from the General Fund with approximately $1.2 million of the payments coming from the fundraising efforts of the Nature Center. A breakdown of related project costs are as follows: PROJECT COSTS GMP $3,174,736 City Oversight (Consultants, Special Inspections, Admin. Costs, eligible $50,000 City staff costs) City Contingency $150,000 TOTAL PROJECT COSTS $3,374,736 3-3 '" Page 4, Item: .;'::.

The GMP includes, but is not limited to, design services, general conditions, insurance, bonds, construction management, the cost for alllabor, equipment, and material to design and construct upgrades and replacements to the Nature Center Interior Exhibits (Nature Center Galleria Remodel) in accordance with all applicable building codes. After completion of the project, there will be minor maintenance associated with the exhibits.

The positions will support Strategic Goal Seven "Advance responsible pet ownership" of the General Services Strategic Plan by placing adoptable animals. RECOMMENDATION: I. Adopt the resolution changing the classification title of Animal Services Specialist to Animal Adoption Counselor to remain in the Chula Vista Employees Association. 2. Adopt the resolution amending the FY06 General Services Animal Care Facility budget by deleting a .5 Veterinarian position and adding a .75 Animal Adoption Counselor position, reclassifying an Animal Control Officer position to a Senior Animal Control Officer and an Animal Care Assistant position to Senior Animal Care Assistant. BOARD/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Since fiscal year 2004, a .5 FTE benefitted veterinarian position has been budgeted for the Animal Care Facility. Staff has worked with Human Resources to recruit a qualified candidate for this position; however, recruitments have been unsuccessful. After further investigation, staff has learned that most animal care facilities, including the County of San Diego, use hourly veterinarians to provide medical care for animals. Veterinarians typically work 4-8 hours per week performing services at various facilities. As a result, staff has opened recruitment for hourly non-benefited veterinarian support. The hourly recruitment has produced positive results. 4-1 ;;..; Item Meeting Date 12/13/05 Additionally, this solution gives us an opportunity to address other Animal Care Facility staffing needs by reprogramming savings trom the proposed recommendations with no impact to the General Fund. In July, the Animal Care Facility transferred trom the Police Department to the General Services Department. Since then General Services staff has focused on filling Animal Care Facility vacancies, adjusting work schedules and evaluating staffing needs at the Animal Care Facility. . The Animal Care Facility was also part of the General Services Strategic Plan presented to Council in April 2005 . Two areas of concern were raised during strategic planning discussions regarding the Animal Care Facility. The Animal Care operation currently has a flat organizational structure requiring the Animal Care Facility Manager to directly supervise all levels in the organization. The current span of supervision exceeds 20 full time and part-time employees, plus numerous volunteers and hourly staff. In addition to the general operation of animal care services, the Animal Care Facility Manager spends a significant amount of time performing veterinarian duties such as providing animals with medical care and performing spaying and neutering procedures. The staff count of20+ includes 6 Animal Control Officers and 7 Animal Care Assitants (kennel staff), which require direct field supervision. Staff is recommending that some of the savings trom the part-time permanent veterinarian position be used to reclassify an existing Animal Control Officer position to a Senior Animal Control Officer position and reclassify an existing Animal Care Assistant position to Senior Animal Care Assistant. This provides the needed field supervision, improves the organizational structure and reduces the span of supervision. In addition, staff is recommending Council approve changing the title of the existing Animal Services Specialist classification to Animal Adoption Counselor. The change in title is recommended to clearly describe the duties ofthe position and improve recruitment efforts. This is consistent with titles used by other agencies performing similar service delivery. The addition of one. 75 FTE Animal Adoption Counselor position (currently titled Animal Services Specialist) is needed to help increase adoptions and place animals in permanent homes. Currently, the Animal Control Facility has only one part-time Animal Adoption Counselor position. The facility is open 6 days a week and numerous pet adoption events are held after hours and on weekends. Scheduling of pet adoption events, coordinating related volunteer activities and pet education for the community is difficult to accomplish with one .5 FTE position. The addition of another part-time permanent position will improve coverage at events, result in an increased number of adoptions and promote responsible pet ownership. Several staffing options were evaluated. It was determined that the use of two permanent part-time positions to perform adoption duties provides better coverage than assigning a full time position to cover a 6-day workweek and adoption events on Sundays. As the City continues to grow, the number of animals per household also continues to grow. As a result, the Animal Control Facility has been impacted by an increase in animals housed at the facility. This year staff anticipates an estimated 9,000 animals will be handled by the facility. In response, the Animal Control Facility is focusing on adoptions and responsible pet ownership (spaying and neutering). Several innovative strategies have been implemented recently with the goal of increasing pet adoptions: · Partnership with PETCO and promotion of animals at PETCO Park · Participation and dissemination of information at community events 4-2 Item .:..1 Meeting Date 12/13/05 . Establishing a interactive cattery at the Animal Care Facility . Partnership with the Spay Neuter Action Program . Newspaper ads encouraging adoptions and news media promotions of pet adoptions . Home 4 the Holidays 2005 Campaign The Animal Care Facility's strategic goal is to proactively address pet over population by promoting responsible pet ownership and placing adoptable animals in permanent homes. The addition ofthis position will enhance the Animal Care Facility's ability to accomplish the goal. FISCAL IMP ACT: Staff is recommending deleting the .5 Veterinarian position budgeted in the FY06 General Services Animal Care Facility budget to add a .75 Animal Adoption Counselor position and reclassify an Animal Control Officer position and Animal Care Assistant position to Senior positions. There are sufficient savings ITom the elimination ofthe .5 Veterinarian position to offset these changes on an ongoing basis. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for the change in title from Animal Services Specialist to Animal Adoption Counselor. The position will remain in the Chula Vista Employees Association and compensation will remain the same.

The aerial lift is needed to maintain new recreation and park facilities. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the resolution amending the FY2005- 2006 budget and appropriating $60,745 from the PFDIF and award a purchase agreement in the amount of $60,745 for one aerial lift truck to Altec Industries, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the City of San Diego bid, DISCUSSION: The Veterans Park recreation facility will open this month requiring an aerial lift truck to perform electrical work and maintain lighting and basketball courts. Several additional new park and recreation facilities are scheduled to open within the next two years. On a temporary basis, the Construction and Repair Division has temporarily maintained existing facilities by utilizing a Public Works aerial, which was scheduled for County Auction. The Public Works aerial was previously replaced and does not meet the operational needs of the construction and repair crew. Furthe=ore, the crew does not have a vehicle with lift capabilities that will allow them to service the new recreational facilities. Staff is recommending purchase of one aerial lift truck from Altec Industries in accordance with the City of San Diego bid. The lead-time for delivery of the aerial is 180 to 200 days. Award of the Purchasing Agreement The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.140 and Council Resolution No. 6132 authorize the Purchasing Agent to participate in cooperative bids with other government agencies for the purchase of materials of common usage.

Presented by Approved as to form by Jack Griffin Director of General Services a 6-3 COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item: 7 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 ITEM TITLE: Resolution approving a Design Build Agreement with PCL Construction Services, Inc. for the design and construction of a 31,129 sf branch library, located in the Ranch del Rey community neighborhood of the City of Chula Vista and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement. SUBMITTED BY: Director of General Services a ~ City Manager It-,, Jlf (4/5ths Vote: Yes _ NoX) REVIEWED BY: The City Council previously approved a capital improvement project for the construction of the Rancho Del Rey Library (CIP No. LBI24), which conceptually designed and provided for the construction of a completed and fully functional 31,129 sf branch library. On June 17, 2003 the Council approved a resolution establishing a Design-Build Priority List excluding fire facilities to be used in awarding Design-Build contracts for future City projects. On June 29, 2005 a Request for Proposal ("RFP") was issued to seven Design-Build firms off the Priority List to prepare proposals for the said project. The resolution before council this evening will award PCL Construction Services, Inc. a Design Build Agreement for the provision of services required to design and construct the Rancho Del Rey Library and authorizing the Mayor to execute said Agreement. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a Design Build Agreement with PCL Construction Services, Inc. for the design and construction of a 31,129 sf branch library, located in the Ranch del Rey community neighborhood of the City of Chula Vista and authorizing Mayor to execute said Agreement. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: On April 17, 2003, the Department of Building and Park Construction issued a Request for Qualifications ("RFQ"), pursuant to Section 2.57 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, for Construction Management and Design Build Services to assist staff in the work required to design and construct needed City facilities, excluding fire facilities. On May 2, 2003, the City received twelve proposals in response to the RFQ. After reviewing the proposals the City's selection committee, appointed by the City Manager, invited nine firms to interview and based upon the RFQ responses and interviews a priority list of Construction Managers and Design Builders was created. This priority list was approved by Council on June 17,2003 and remains current for five years. On June 29, 2005, in accordance with Section 2.57 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, the City requested proposals from seven Design Build firms off the priority list for services to design and construct a fully functional 31,129 sf branch library, Rancho Del Rey Library. All seven of the firms submitted proposals and they are as follows: Douglas E. Barnhart, Inc. 7-/ Page 2, Item: Meeting Date: 7 12/13/05 Erickson-Hall Construction Co. Highland Partnership, Inc. PCL Construction Services, Inc. Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. Sundt Construction, Inc. Turner Construction Co. Based on the proposals, PCL Construction Services, Inc. was selected as the Design Builder with extensive construction experience for this type of project and who could best meet the City's development schedule, monetary and time criteria of the project. The D/B Team of PCL Construction Services, Inc., Fields & Devereaux Architects, Inc. (dba Fields Devereaux Architects & Engineers), KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Van Dyke, LLP offers an excellent combination of design and construction expertise for this type of project, including but not limited to the following completed projects: CSU Channel Islands Broome Library, UCI Main Library Renovation and Seismic Upgrade, Lake View Terrace Branch Library, Oak Park Joint-Use Library, National City Public Library, Mira Mesa Public Library, Coronado Library, etc. The City has been pleased with the work ofPCL Construction Services, Inc., the Design Builder for Montevalle Community Park and Recreation Center located in the Rolling Hills Ranch subdivision of Eastern Chula Vista. DESIGN/BUILD Staff is recommending the City enter into an agreement with PCL Construction Services, Inc. for the provision of services required to design and construct the Rancho Del Rey Library. The designlbuild process includes functions that are quite different from the designlbid/build process typically used for City construction projects. The designlbuild process employs a single entity, either a general contractor or an architect, which provides both design and construction services. In the typical scenario, a designlbuild oriented general contractor provides the design and construction services. Alternatively, an architectural firm may provide the design services and hire the general contractor on a consulting basis for the construction phase. In this later scenario, the architectural firm will be held responsible for all aspects of the project. In the case of the Rancho Del Rey Library, the design/build process will place sole responsibility for delivery of the project upon PCL Construction Services, Inc., a general contractor. PCL Construction Services, Inc. will subcontract for the design and consulting services, and trade contracts during the construction phase. Generally utilization of a design/build process will provide savings in cost and time because the entire proj ect is managed and constructed by a single entity, thereby eliminating the difficulties of dealing with multiple entities and overhead on one project. The designlbuild process provides the City the flexibility to work with the best contractors in the County as it does not necessarily require award to the lowest responsible bidder. 7- Page 3, Item: 7 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 PROJECT SCOPE AND CONTRACTUAL REOUlREMENTS As proposed, the Design/Build Agreement with PCL Construction Services, Inc. will provide the City with a fully functional 31,129 sf branch library, located in the Ranch del Rey community neighborhood of the City of Chula Vista and will provide service to residents of that community as well as other residents of the City. The scope of work includes but is not limited to the following: Design and construct for the City a fully functional 31,129 sf branch library, outlined in the "Rancho Del Rey Branch Library Building Program", updated February 2005. The facility shall include, but not be limited to all components described in the Program. The Project is located in the Ranch del Rey community neighborhood of the City of Chula Vista. PCL Construction Services, Inc. shall perform all services, work, and obligations as described necessary to provide a fully completed and functional Project, which shall include design services, general conditions and construction management for the not to exceed amount of $1,654,378 ($994,651 + 659,727). The total not to exceed amount for the contract is $11,610,538. At 90% construction documents a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will be established as part of the agreement, which will include, but not be limited to, the cost for all labor, equipment, and material to design and build a fully functional 31,129 sf branch library in accordance with all applicable building codes. Staff will return to Council for approval of the GMP. This not to exceed amount is based upon the currently known scope and anticipated budget. Any changes or increases in scope of the facility to be provided may result in this amount being exceeded when the GMP is set. CHANGE ORDERS Under the designlbuild process, change orders are handled differently than under the designlbidlbuild process. Change orders are only returned for Council approval if they exceed the approved GMP, or are for additional work requested by the 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. PROJECT COMPLETION DATES PCL Construction Services, Inc. has agreed and the contract reflects the following completion dates: · Substantial Completion: No later than December 28, 2007. Substantial Completion shall be that stage in the progress of the construction when all Work on the Project is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Construction Documents so that City can fully utilize entire Project; Substantial Completion shall further mean that all goods, services and systems to be provided under the terms and conditions of the Construction Documents are in place and have been initially tested, and are operationally functional, subject only to final testing, balancing and adjustments and normal Final Completion punch list Work. _7 .~-~" Page 4, Item: Meeting Date: 7 12/13/05 . Final Completion shall occur at the conclusion of construction when all Work on the Project is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Construction Documents so that City can fully occupy and utilize entire project; Final Completion shall further mean that all goods, services and systems be provided under the terms and conditions of the Construction Documents are in place and have been tested, and are operationally functional. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS 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 was adequately covered in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Case No. IS-02-40, thus, no further environmental review is necessary. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this resolution will award a Design Build agreement to PCL Construction Services, Inc. whereby they shall perform design services, general conditions, and construction management for the not to exceed amount of $1,654,378 ($994,651 + 659,727). There are sufficient PFDIF (Public Facilities Development Impact Fee - Libraries) funds in the project at this time to complete the design phase for the new Rancho Del Rey Library including the cost of preliminary geotechnical testing and City staff costs. The project will be 100% funded by the PFDIF. At 90% complete construction documents a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will be established as part of the agreement, which will include, but not be limited to, the cost for all labor, equipment, and material to design and build a fully functional 31,129 sf branch library in accordance with all applicable building codes. At that time, staff will return to Council seeking the necessary appropriation to construct the project. The total estimated Project costs are $17,145,850 and are broken down as follows: Estimated Proiect Costs Funds Currentlv Available for Proiect GMP (includes Design Services, $11,610,538 PFDIF - Public Facilities $4,000,000 General Conditions and Construction Development Impact Fee Mgmt of$I,654,378) (Libraries) Specialty Consultants (Testing) $120,000 FF&E (Fumitures, Fixtures, Equip.) $1,800,000 Staff Time $500,000 Contingency $905,312 Utilities $150,000 Library Books and Staff $2,000,000 Reimburseables $60,000 Total Estimated Project Costs $17,145,850 Total Funds Currently Avail. $4,000,000 for Proiect Attachment(s): Attachment I - Design/Build Agreement J:\General Services\GS Administration\Council Agenda\RDR Library\RDR Library DBA Rev 111605.doc 7- /) RESOLUTION 2005- RESOLUTION APPROVING A DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT WITH PCL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC.

General Project Information- a. Introduction, overview, and time schedule As a result of the 1987 and the I 998 Library Facilities Master Plans, the 2001 Library Strategic Plan, and the 1998 and 200 I Library Needs Assessments, Chula Vista demonstrated a dearth of library service in the northeastern quadrant of the City and made a commitment to construct a future branch to serve this area. This service area of over 47,000 residents has mushroomed by 29.96% since 1990 due to new residential development. The needs assessment data from residents in this area east of! -805 records requests for a convenient library as well as collection and progr"mm;ng enhancements, more remote access and improved computer technology, increased service hours, and improved study and reading areas. Currently these residents drive 5 miles from the center of the northeast service area and across the interstate to reach one of the two full service facilities, Civic Center or South Chula Vista branches, with convenient hours. The EastLake branch, located in the southeastern quadrant of the City, offers limited service from a "closed" high school campus only 24 hours per week. Even with its limited hours and small collection, the circulation at EastLake continues to rise annually in the double digits. The need for a new regional library as called for in the 1998 Library Facilities Master Plan is immediate. The new Rancho del Rey Library will be a place for the entire co=unity in the northeast library service area of Chula Vista. It will serve as a co=unity center, a City of Chula Vista civic landmark, and the home of information and resources for living in Chula Vista. It will connect the co=unity with a pluralism of ideas and viewpoints that is characteristic of a democratic society The Rancho del Rey Library will have special areas that welcome every part of the co=unity and every type of library user. The Children's Room with its Family Comer will provide a place for young children and their parents and caregivers to be together in a learning environment that is separated from the rest of the Library and does not disturb users of the quiet study areas. The Group Study rooms are places where conversation can be held without interfering with other's use of the reference and non- . fiction areas. The versatile meeting room may host an Educational Services after school leader training during the day and a co=unity planning meeting in the evening. 49 high-speed public computers will offer co=unity access to the Internet. A bank of self-checkout stations near the stacks of best sellers will serve those "on the run." Because the Rancho del Rey Library will be the premier City facility in eastern Chula Vista, its design and architecture must reflect this active co=unity and make a statement about the City. By Rancho del Rey library's proactive use of appropriate and cost-effective energy programs, it will showcase to the entire region what is possible. It should be a distinctive symbol of the City and of civic pride. It also will blend with the surrounding co=unity that includes a fire station and YMCA. Street access and parking will be well designed for this library location. A significant piece of exterior public art will identify this building as a place of civic culture. It might be a statement of Chula Vista's historical Spanish land grant, Rancho del Rey. An exterior electronic signboard is part of the overall signage and co=unication plan 17'/.J for the library. The electronic sign will announce to passing cars on the comer of East H and Paseo Ranchero the daily programs and upcoming special events. It should be managed from the computer of the secretary in the Branch Manager Suite. The Library is a technology-driven facility, with the latest technology incorporated into the major building systems. The Library should feature technology as a service platfo= for the Rancho del Rey co=unity, a co=unity whose members are techno-savvy and already incorporate use of technology in their daily lives. The library must be flexible and open in its design and allow for future interpretation of the space. Co=unity needs will change over time, as will technology and the institution of the. public library. The Library should be designed to serve the co=unity and its changing needs for the next 40 years. The building must be able to adapt to the changes and maintain a fresh and open appearance. b. Library Building Team The Library Building Team worked together for many months beginning in spring 2001 to internalize the needs assessment process, attend and carefully listen to focus groups and co=unity meetings. The Building Team was grouped into several working units that met simultaneously to discuss and make reco=endations on their respective specialties. The teams, with sub-groups if appropriate, focused on core library services and possible service responses, collaborative services, early childhood services, Customer Service, technology services, staffing, and space adjacencies. The initiatives and goals from the library's Strategic Plan process, the identification of the key service responses, and data from the Needs Assessment has made for a strong Library Plan of Service statement. Knowing the co=unity desired more, not less, operating enhancements at Rancho del Rey, led the Building Team to come to early assumptions. These assumptions included use of technology to release staff from routine circulation functions and re-deploy that staff to direct customer service, and greater use of security methods such as Access Control and video surveillance. The co=unity repeated that the library should be a hub of co=unity activity. This called the team to consider features that would include more info=al gathering and conversation, thuS leading to a cafe and outdoor seating in pleasantly landscaped areas. The diversity of ethnic origins in the service area begged for a fresh look at collections. The various groups reco=ended cultural collections in English to reflect the larger immigrant traditions, and continuing the strong emphasis on a Spanish language collection for all ages. In early 2005 the Library's Educational Services division, which develops and provides enriched after school activities for the elementary school district, faced a space crisis. It was announced another 3 elementary schools were being added to the division's responsibilities. To acco=odate this expanded staff and training function, it was decided to program Educational Services into Rancho del Rey to them the needed training and office space. The Library Board of Trustees discussed the physical nature and service features of the new facility. They wanted to see a contemporary design that incorporated light, glass, 2 7- 9/ and a view into the space from outside. Other features included: I:J Durable building that uses proven building materials I:J Affordable I:J Large entrance and entryway that gives an atrium feel I:J . A strong focal point to draw guests into the library I:J Cafe with a possibility for it to be attended by a vendor I:J Non-institutional fi=iture that would include easy chairs I:J Emphasis on technology and retail displays I:J Include a photo montage of historical Chula Vista-like Applebee's interpretation I:J Professionally installed media in the meeting room I:J Partitioned meeting room with an outside reception space (this exterior space is the only programmed space that might be considered for a water feature) illtimately, conclusions drawn by the Building Team produced a Building Program calling for a nearly 31,200 square foot building with a single highly visible customer service desk, lots of easy-to-find popular materials, a wide range of environments for noisy uses and quiet times for young children and teenagers, an automated materials management system, and a sense of co=unity space for the northeast quadrant of Chula Vista. 3. General Requirements a. Occupancy by staff and patrons The Rancho del Rey Library will need to acco=odate an average daily public attendance of approximately 1,600. The public will use the Library in a variety of ways: I:J Individual and group study I:J Browsing I:J Consulting databases, preparing documents, and researching on the web at computer workstations I:J Attending programs and events I:J Personalized assistance at the Customer Service Desk I:J Reading in a pleasant and comfortable environment I:J Developing and reinforcing parenting skills with infants and toddlers I:J Using a personal laptop anywhere in the library I:J "Hanging out" with snacks and homework in the Young Adult area I:J Co=unity planning and civic meetings I:J Incorporating the roots of Chula Vista history in an exterior piece of significant public art 3 71.1_ There will be 189 readers and lounge seats for the public throughout the library, and 49 Internet workstations. Staff considerations: CJ Large pieces of equipment may be moved in an out of the building in the future. A double door and wide interior route should be designed into the building CJ Staff parking near the staff entrance There will be approximately 20 staff in the Library at anyone time, and the total number of staff employed at the Rancho del Rey Library is 42.3FTE. The staff includes those providing public services directly from the floor, from the Customer desk, those involved in provision of the Library's system-wide Educational Services Division, the City's microcomputer specialist, and custodial staff. b. Type and size of collections Rancho del Rey Library has a collection of 150,100, or over 3.2 items per service area resident on opening day. The shelving is designed to hold 63% of the book collection. The materials provided will be in available formats demanded by the user population. At the current time, the Library plans to provide over 15,000 media items in DVD, and Books-on-CD formats, 240 magazines and newspaper publications, and over 130,000 books for children, young adults, and adults. See ADDendix A for a complete description of the type and size of the collections. All collections will be protected from theft with a tiny Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag that includes an antenna and transmitter. The major collections include: CJ A retail style new book and browsing area CJ Over 35,000 adult non-fiction books with English language volumes devoted to Filipino, HispaniclLatino, and pan-Asian cultures CJ Over 20,000 adult fiction volumes CJ An adult Spanish language collection of over 20,000 volumes CJ A smaller scaled reference collection that represents a greater use of online subscription databases and authoritative websites CJ Nearly 4,000 popular young adult titles CJ Over 16,000 Children's picture books and easy readers CJ The Juvenile fiction and non-fiction collection has over 26,000 volumes including many in Spanish CJ Multimedia is represented by a strong collections ofDVDs and Books-on-CD, including Spanish language audio books and DVDs CJ Adult magazines and newspapers in English and Spanish CJ Parenting magazines in English and Spanish CJ Young adult current magazines in English and Spanish 4793 o Preschool and children's magazines in English and Spanish c. Flexibility and expandability As mentioned earlier, the Rancho del Rey Library should be flexible with the ability to shift, and alter functional spaces as the community changes. The design will be open and with a minimum of interior walls, which decrease flexibility. During the life of the building, it will be necessary to remodel, move and remove shelving, remove or replace a public service desk, and move furniture. A successful design will allow for much openness and flexible use. This must include not only the space, but also the major systems of the building: electrical and data cabling, lighting, and HV AC. d. Staff efficiency Public Service Desks The efficiency of operation of the Library services provided in this building must not be impeded by facility design. Rancho del Rey is committed to a high level of customer service with a minimum of fixed service points. The major and ONt Y staffed service point is the Customer Service Desk. There is NO circulation desk in this facility! The Customer Service Desk provides the functions of library cards and user account assistance, Children's Services, and Info=ation Services for adults and teens from three faces or points of contact. While it is intended all three "faces" will be staffed, any one staff placed at this desk can do any function. This desk must be welcoming and easily identifiable by the new library user and visible from a distance. The desk is designed so that an appropriate number of staff can work comfortably and effectively in the space behind the desk and have the necessary equipment and resources readily at hand. This desk provides the traditional services of reference and select circulation functions. The traditional checking out of materials will be done by the guests at one of four Self-Checkout machines installed near the security gate. The Customer Service desk is the building's hub of fo=a1ized assistance. It will be staffed with up to 3 public service staff to assist adults, young adults and children in the use of the collection, or offer library cards and pay fines, or in simply asking directions. This desk allows the 3 staff to have clear views of nearly all the major public service areas- Marketplace, Children's Room, and Young Adults and Reference, and the public internet computers. This desk will have 3 staff computers, 3 chairs, and ready reference shelving. Behind the public desk counters at the Customer Service Desk and programmed within this space is the Security Workstation. The Library Visitor Assistant may view the video surveillance monitor here, prepare incident reports, or make an announcement over the building-wide public address system. Roving customer service representatives will be deployed to the public areas where personalized and hands-on assistance is necessary- the children's and adult Marketplaces, Internet Computers, and adult and children's stiLcks. The circulation function is changing its traditional high-profile character in this new 5 7~ 'IV facility. By implementing an RFID automated materials management system, which handles the routine tasks of materials check-out, check-in, and sorting returned materials, the multiple staff members who fo=erly did those tasks will now be fo=ally trained to offer direct personal assistance to our users in the Marketplace, Children's Room, at the computer stations, or in the stacks. As a result of installing the RFID automated materials management system, a driver's side, drive-up book return must be included in the building design. Driver's side return slots do pose challenges, but prove themselves as modem day efficiencies. Ergonomic design is essential for all public service desks. Kick space, kneeholes, floor cushioning, ergonomic chairs, and equipment placement are all necessary elements of appropriate ergonomic design standards. Floor cushioning for staff that will be on the public floor for several hours is important. Also it should be noted that to be fully accessible the Customer Service Desk is constructed at two heights. For the service point facing the Children's Room, the desk should be 28" high, and for the surfaces facing the Marketplace and Reference Collection the desk is no more than 34" high to fully meet ADA acco=odation. The Customer Service Desk should be designed so staff can easily slip from behind the desk onto the public floor, but yet discourage library users from stepping behind the service desk. Adequate use of dual screen PCs or flexible screens or careful screen placement will allow both guest and staff to view the same info=ation at the same time. Staff Work Stations Each staff workstation should be specified individually to meet the requirements of the functions that will be perfo=ed at that station. The City has square footage reco=endations for offices and workstations of various job classifications. Those reco=endations have been taken into account when describing workspace for each required staff. Most staff workstations range between 40-110 square feet. Work counters and surfaces, are also important in the Mail Room and Educational Services division Storage space. Each of these spaces has at least 10 linear feet of preparation area. Sorting of after school materials and program supplies will take place in the in the Educational Services Storage area, and in the Mail Room assembling shipments of library books between branches will go on daily. Private offices are required for the Branch Manager, Assistant Branch Manager, Educational Services Manager, and the Microcomputer/Networking Specialist. Workstations with floor to ceiling acoustical panels are required for the Librarians, Circulation Supervisor, and the four Educational Services After School program staff. Appropriate ergonomic design is important for all office equipment and furnishings. . e. Energy efficiency Practical experience and good public policy strongly suggest this project needs to strive for a green or sustainable building. This library should be attractive, affordable and functional, as well as a co=unity model of energy, water, and materials efficiency. California's recurring energy and water shortages, growing demands of population on natural resources, struggling air quality and rising operating costs for public buildings demand a proactive approach to designing, building and operating this library. 6 7- 75"" . It is highly desirable this project uses as many sustainable or "green" products as the project budget can support in the design, building, and operations. It is reco=ended that guidance from the United States Green Building Council be sought, and the project strive to meet levels ofLEED Certification or higher. The architect's building plans should exceed the specifications in California's Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, by 20% in accordance with the Chula Vista City Council energy policy, and that the :final building plans presented to Council should have a renewable energy option. f. Fenestration The Library site is attractive with many lovely views. The design of the building should optimize access to these views while controlling direct sunlight into the facility. Natural daylight is highly desirable to minimi7e artificially produced light and contain energy costs. The site has numerous opportunities for the building to be positioned to optimize natural light in reading and study areas. The book stacks should avoid direct sunlight or glare, but should have the advantage of indirect natural daylight through the Use of clerestory lighting or judicious placement or angles of window. Staff offices, where possible, should have exterior windows that minimi7e glare and direct sunlight, but let the indirect sunlight into the workspace. The Joint Staff Workroom and the Circulation Workroom have interior windows that view onto the public floor from the staff work areas. This feature functions as a way staff may monitor work flow and crowd control on the public floor without the public viewing into the staff work areas. Consider using etched or one-way glass. A void exterior window ledges that collect dirt and are difficult to clean. g. Space finishes All finishes should be durable, easy to clean and vandal resistant. Custom maintenance of special surfaces raises the cost of maintaining the facility and invites improper maintenance. If electronic toilets and self-activated sinks are used, they must have a manual override. The Library desires to incorporate as many "sustainable" finishes and features as the budget and building program can support. The use of interior water features, such as fountains, is discouraged. h. Access for the disabled This building should meet or exceed the State of California, Division of State Architect, Title 24 Regulations for accessibility to places of public acco=odation by individuals with disabilities, specifically libraries. These guidelines are to be applied during the design and construction of the library facility to the extent required by regulations issued by the Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Even though the Building Program calls for the majority of book stack aisles to be the 7 790 required 36", the ideal aisle width would be 44" if the actual layout of the stacks will allow. i. Acoustics The acoustical treatments in the various spaces of the building should be the result of an acoustical study done by a professional acoustical consultant. The Library is on a major street (East H St.) and a busy comer next door to a fire station and near the region's large YMCA. Care should be taken to keep out the exterior noise of traffic and sirens. Sound control in the Library is extremely important to both the public users and the staff. Both the public and the staff need to use the interior spaces for many different reasons from studying and quiet reading to listening to stories or having a lively discussion. Walls and floor coverings, and heights and materials of ceilings should all be chosen to dampen and contain sounds Special attention should be paid to containing the sounds associated with the Meeting Room, Children's Library, Young Adult Area, the Marketplace and Customer Service Area. It is also anticipated that the cafe area will invite casual conversation that should not carry back into the library stack area. Mechanical systems should not interfere with library uses. They should be insulated and removed from study areas. j. HVAC Temperature, humidity, ventilation, timers, system controls, zones and balancing, flexibility in design, and indoor air quality standards must be met as well as energy conservation guidelines. Venting of the restrooms, staff and meeting room kitchen, and copy room should be directly to the outdoors. Staff offices and meeting rooms should have their own th=ostats. Air vents in all spaces should be well baffled. Civic Center library has numerous noisy vents that hinder the ability to have effective meetings. Electrical and teleco=unications closets need air conditioners and ventilation systems, and back-up systems. k. Illumination Lighting quality, quantity, and efficiency are major design elements. The Library should be evenly lit without glare or excessive contrast, using indirect and task lighting as much as possible to create comfortable light levels. Book shelving should have lighting attached and parallel with each row. While it is important that the building be energy efficient, the lighting of the Library is. a critical factor and light levels should not be compromised. Stack lighting should be built into the shelving units and parallel to the aisle. Lighting fixtures throughout the building should be easily reached to change lights without renting equipment. The city owns and uses a scope lift for many of its 8 7- '17 facilities. All design efforts should enhance the use of day lighting when possible, but protect the materials and display areas from direct sunlight. The level of lighting needed in the library varies by the type of activity, but includes: [;1 Staff work areas: 50-70 foot-candles [;1 Program rooms: 40-50 foot-candles with separately controlled lighting near the front to aid in media presentations. Dimmers are appropriate and helpful [;1 Study Rooms: 30-40 foot-candles [;1 Public service desks: 50-70 foot-candles [;1 Reading areas: 30-40 foot-candles with additional task lighting for all work surfaces as appropriate [;1 Book stacks: 30 foot-candles maximum and include attached parallel lighting Lighting considerations include the need for full-spectrum lighting, control of glare- especially on computer screens- the ease of maintenance/replacement. Lighting above the stacks should be reachable without special equipment such as cherry pickers. Book stack aisles that are only 36"- 44" wide prevent cherry pickers, other lifts, and tall ladders from being used successfully. Stack lighting should be attached and parallel to the shelving. Emergency and exit lighting is an essential part of the library design, and should meet local and state codes, including those of accessibility. The Library is a busy public facility and during emergencies, several hundred people may rely on the functionality of the emergency and exit lighting system. L Power and data communication requirements It is preferred data cabling and associated power be distributed via conduit and J boxes, and well integrated into the furniture. The library's electrical wiring and network cabling needs should be doubled when calculating the amount of capacity needed, because of the likelihood of increased use. The cabling and wiring should be extraordinarily flexible, as the needs of this part of the library system will change most rapidly. Workstations and points of access will be relocated; printer configurations will be altered; additional peripherals will be added; new computers will have increased power requirements. Library users will want to plug in laptops to electrical power and network jacks, and access the library's OPAC from the Library's study tables or carrels. An easily expanded, flexible and universal data/telecommunications and electrical system will delay the day when renovations to upgrade these systems is mandatory. Wireless internet (Wi-Fi) and laptop data jacks with power are mandatory for 2/3 of the building's reader's seats. The RFID materials manag=ent syst= is a major system on the staff LAN. The Library's electrical and data/telecommunication needs should be met through a series of electrical closets, conduits and raceways, and include the following types of 9 7- 7} services: Q Electrical power Q Teleco=unications, including four networks 1. Public LAN 2. Laptop LAN 3. Wireless (Wi-Fi) LAN 4. Staff LAN Q Security systems (perimeter intrusion alarms, Video Surveillance, and Access Control) wiring Q Emergency systems (i.e. fire, smoke, power supply) Q Ethernet cabling (CAT VI) Q 4 Smart Podiums to locally control presentations in Children's Story Time Room, Public Meeting Rooms, and Educational Services Conference Room o DVDNideo o Assistive Listening System o Wireless Microphone System o Cable and Satellite TV o Audio system and .speakers Q Video Conferencing in Educational Services Conference Room Q Public Address system, both interior and exterior speakers All workstations located in public areas should have concealed wiring installed in sub- flooring conduits to prevent tampering. There should be no exposed wiring anywhere because of the trip hazard. There should be four physically separate LANS: one for public connections, one for staff connections, a third for laptop connections, and the wireless Wi-Fi LAN. The backbones between teleco=unication closets should be multi-mode fiber optic. There is to be a minimum of 125 data jacks among the tables and reader's seats for the public on the laptop LAN to acco=odate guests bringing in their personal laptops. A repeater for the nearby Fire Station #4' s wireless transmitter should be installed on the library building's highest exte)ior point. m. Security systems The safety and security of public, staff, and building are paramount design issues. The entrance and the major interior routes to public areas within the library should be within the visual supervision of library staff from the- Customer Service Desk. A hard-wired video surveillance system consisting of approximately 1 0 cameras (this is to be determined by the architect and security consultant) with a master monitor behind the Customer Service desk at the Security Workstation., will also assist as 10 7- 91 "another set of eyes" in the safety of the public, staff, and building. Lighting, both exterior and interior, should allow easy visibility, with no dark or dimmed out areas. The main part of the library should have only one public entrance and exit. There should be controlled access into staff-only areas. Windows, doors and vents should be protected from attempts at illegal entry. There should be no easy way to obtain access to the roof, or any exterior ledge or architectural feature. The city's Access Control System with proxy cards will be implemented for perimeter doors and designated offices. There will be a perimeter intrusion alarm system for the entire facility. Fire codes and fire safety regulations should be met in the design of the building. The Library will have a radio frequency identification security system (RFID) for its materials and portable/smaIl equipment. All of these items will be tagged with a tiny transmitter and antenna. The RFID theft security gates should be close to the exit and adjacent to the Marketplace so staff can easily intercede when users are stopped at the gates by an alarm. n. Signs The interior designer should retain a professional signage consultant who will design a complete interior signage system for Rancho del Rey library. The system will be integrated into the overall building design, and should coordinate with the furnishings, space planning, lighting, and other parts of the facility plan. It will include space and room identification signs, point of use instructional signs, and a system for posting temporary signs that includes a "style manual" for staff who will be the ones making: such sie:ns. The library system has begun developing sign terminology and "a look" in the Marketplace spaces at Civic and SCV branches. We desire this look become our "'brand. " The signs should be at least 10' above floor level and be vandal resistant. Major signs should be visible from the Library entrance. The major directional and identification signs should be bilingual, in English and Spanish. Signs should be legible, easy to read, and simple. Directional signs should be avoided in favor of highly visible signs in the service area. When appropriate, changeable sign carriers should be installed. Criteria and guidelines shaIl be included in the signage style manual that staff may fonow.. An exterior electronic signboard is part of the overall signage and co=unication plan for the library. The electronic sign win announce to passing cars on the corner of East H and Paseo Ranchero the daily programs and upcoming special events. It should be managed from the computer of the secretary in the Branch Manager Suite. o. Audio-visual systems The audio-visual systems include building wide and space specific systems. Also review the section for Power and data co=unication requirements Building wide systems Q Public Address System with interior and exterior speakers H 7-/:J:) o Video surveillance system with interior and exterior cameras Space specific systems o Cable or satellite television connection o Children's Story Time Room o Educational Services Conference Room o Public Meeting Rooms A and B o Cafe o Video Conferencing o Educational Service Conference Room o Ceiling mounted projection system o Children's Story Time Room o Educational Services Conference Room o Public Meeting Rooms A and B o Assistive listening devices o Children's Story Time Room o Educational Services Conference Room o Public Meeting Rooms A and B o Speaker systems o Children's Story Time Room o Educational Services Conference Room o Public Meeting Rooms A and B p. Visual supervision The Rancho del Rey library will offer roving staff in the adult and children's marketplace, public internet computer area, the positioning of the Customer Service Desk., the Library Visitor Assistant, and the video surveillance system as the "scrutinizing eyes or the library." The placement of the Customer Service Desk staff as well as the placement of the video surveillance monitor station behind that desk, are the two methods of good visual supervision being used. There are 3-staffed workstations at the Customer Service Desk that will look out towards the library entrance and Marketplace, the Internet computers, and the Children's Room. The Library Visitor Assistant and scheduled staff will tend the video surveillance monitors behind the Customer Service Desk. All floor staff will carry cell phone/2 way radios to expedite situation follow-up. Placement of the stacks and equipment will assist in straight and unobstructed views down aisles. q. Master list of furniture and equipment The list of furniture and equipment for the Rancho del Rey library is a direct interpretation of the Library Plan of Service and the Needs Assessment, and includes 12 7-/:)1 items for direct public use and the necessary furniture and equipment for staff to support that use. As a result of selecting the furniture and equipment, the square footage of the building is 31,129sf. Library furniture manufacturers have attractive lines of high quality furniture. In the Marketplace r=odel of the Civic Center library a well-styled line of furniture was used for the Self-Checkout Desk. In the quest for an affordable line of furnishings, we request the interior designer explore the lines of furniture available through such library manufacturers as Brodart, Buckstaff, Gaylord and many others. The finishes, fabrics, and fabrication materials will be sustainable or "green" whenever possible. See Aooendix B for a master list of furniture and equipment. 4. Spatial Relationships One of the first tasks of the Building Team was definition of the spatial relationships in the building. This was done using the features and spaces of South Chula Vista and Civic Center branches as guidance. Other libraries were visited to expose the team to other viewpoints. In fall of2001, the team created several scenarios and expressed them in bubble diagrams. In late 2004 another bubble diagram was produced to reflect the changes in the building requirements since 2001. (See Aooendix C for the Building Team's bubble diagram given to the architect). Aooendix D is a complete summary of all the divisions and the spatial relationships called for in the Building Program. 5. Summary of Facility Space Requirements The square footage requirements of each fully furnished and equipped space is included in Aooendix E, 6. Space Descriptions Each space in the 31,129 square foot Rancho del Rey Building Program has been programmed in detail using the Library Plan of Service as the guide.

" . ...., . The primary function of the Children's Library is to inspire the imagination and a love of reading through lots of new books, clever book displays, "wow" interior decoration, and engaging programs filled with stories, music and language for children up to 12 years of age. As the children and their accompanying adult enter this area, passing by the Self-Checkout and the Children's Assistance Station that provides directions, they will be greeted by the Children's Marketplace filled with "Cool Reads." Quirky and distinctive retail displayers filled with new books (i.e.: Cool Reads) are eye catching and luring. If the child is more focused on needing a homework question answered or a particular book identified, a path to the right leads to the Children's information desk (this is the shared tri-faced desk for the entire library- Accounts, Information Services, and Children's Information). Next to the Customer Service Desk is the OPAC station and the Children's Reference collection, and nearby are the Juvenile books and Children's Internet Computers. Deeper in the space lie the areas where special programming is emphasized. The Family Comer and the Picture Books are rich in colorful books and cozy furniture. The image is a child and caretaker sitting together looking at a counting book, or a parent with two children reading out loud on a couch. This are is not quiet parents will compare notes with each other, toddlers will squeal in excitement, and babies will cry! It might not be unusual to see a mother discreetly feeding a baby, or a little one playing with library-provided creative manipulatives. Also filled with activity will be the Story Time Room. It may be devoted to a Babytime program or turned over to LEAP tutoring. It may even be used to occasionally train Educational Services after school leaders. The Cerritos Public Library has done a spectacular interior design plan, building wonder and excitement in children who enter the Children's Library. Cerritos should be viewed as a model for innovative style that we desire at RDR. The architect and interior designer are encouraged to develop a children's motif that tickles curiosity and prompts an inquisitive reaction. The Children's Library is NOT a scaled down adult library, nor is it desirable to have children view it as a wild playground. The Children's Library should encourage children to explore the fun in books, language, reading, and digging for information. The motif developed for the Children's Library will thread throughout all the smaller public spaces that make up this division, such as Children's Marketplace, Family Comer, Picture Books, Children's Internet Computers, Children's Reference, Juvenile Collection, and the Story Time Room. The Children's staff, while having the need for a preparation area, actually has much in common with the staff in the Reference Workroom. This building program calls out for a Joint Staff Workroom in which the children's staff has their own staff cluster or grouping, with direct access into the Children's area. ~- Children should not have to traverse any part of the adult library to get to the Children's Library.

These stations carry through the theme being developed in the Children's room. For example, the listening station might be a trunk of a tree or a fire engine. The listening station would have carefully controlled acoustics by using a shell that encloses 1/2- 2/3 of the child (4-10 yrs). The child could comfortably sit in the partial enclosure listening to a story and following along with the picture book. Headsets that transmit germs and are easily damaged are not encouraged in this environment, instead the acoustical shell will contain the sound. The CD player is secured within the fumiture and may only be accessed and programmed by the staff. Children, teachers, caregivers, and parents will browse this CD collection looking for Recorded Books or perhaps children's music to use with a preschool or a birthday party. Since it is adjacent to the Children's Marketplace it will be easily noticed and highly used.

It was not a surprise that when the CVPL decided to test the validity of the Self-Checkout machines years ago, the Children's Room was the first installation. This is the last place (or the first place- depending on which direction you are walking) that a child sees before leaving the Children's Room. The Self-Checkout machine is where all users of this room will complete the circulation transaction. There may be 2-3 iined up at the unit at any point during the day. In case of a transaction that cannot be completed on the Self-Check machine, the Assistance Station which is within 10-12 feet of the Seif-Check unit may assist the guest or do trouble shooting on the machine. The Assistance Station is not a desk. It is more an "anchor" place for roving staff to migrate toward as a transaction is completed and before they begin another. This station should be a standing point with a surface only iarge enough to hold a staff computer and perhaps a tablet of paper. The sole purpose of this staff person is to assist with checkout, the Children's Marketplace collection, or get a user started in the right direction. They will also help with making sure the Marketplace "Cool Reads" stays well stocked and attractive. The interior designer is highly encouraged to think like a child and create a theme in the Children's Room that may be developed In all of the spaces. The Self-Checkout area will be used by both the 'tweeners (10-12) as well as the "babies." The design needs to appeal to both these ages. 2-5 at the Self-Checkout 1 guest at Assistance Station 1 staff at Assistance Station I ADJACENT: Children's Room Entrance Children's Marketplace CLOSE: Juvenile Collection SIGHTLlNES: Children's Assistant station MUST be able to see Children's Restroom entrance The children's self-check machine is a thrill for most youngsters to use. They are comfortable with the button pushing and the screen, enjoy the technoiogy, and usually don't need assistance. With the Assistance Station nearby any exception to this self- service may be solved. The Assistance Station is also the "anchor" spot fpr one of the roving children's staff. It is not intended for this station to have a seated staff, but that a guest may know that a librarian will be regularly checking in with this home base. Therefore, the Assistance Station should be at a comfortable standing level for an older child and the staff member. It will be more a small pedestal that holds a staff computer rather than a traditional "help desk."

This is achieved through the integrated use of the Innovative Interfaces bibliographic and patron database; the automated checkout and check in system; an automated sorting system; RFID tags and security gates at the single public entrance; and a video camera surveillance system. By using technology wisely, the library will redeploy staff to the public service floor for direct customer assistance. This has already happened at Civic Center and SCV branches with the self- checkout machines. RDR will be the test bed to determine if the automated sorting system will realize a significant savings in staff time that has been devoted to emptying returned books from the bins and sorting them for shelving. Typical tasks associated with this division: I. Customer Service Desk (this is programmed in the Reference Services Division): At the prominent, centrally located Customer Service Desk, staff will register library users for cards and DVD privileges, updating user information, collecting fmes and fees, and resolving inconsistencies with the self-checkout units. The video surveillance monitor is also housed at this desk where it may be easily viewed by staff but not by the library guests. 2. Self-Checkout area: nearly all adult items checked out will be done swiftly and independently by the guest at one of three self-checkout machines adjacent to the security gates and the Marketplace. This is the library's equivalent to the A TM machine at the bank, and is a major public convenience. This fast automated checkout transaction privately advises the guest of any updating or fees they owe on their accounts. :j. Security Gates: RDR will only have one. public entrance and exit through which all checked- out library materials will flow in and out of the building. The RFID tags will trigger an alarm and the real time title information as to which item has not been checked out. A video camera will also be strategically located in this area to deter, and if necessary digitally capture, the theft of library materials. 4. Book Return Room: returned materials will flow into this fireproof workroom from the conveyors that travel from both the exterior and interior book drops. The automated sorting machine will check in aU items, rough sort them into 9-13 sorts, and carry the items to the appropriate bins. From there staff will fmal sort onto a book truck and reshelve in the stacks. 5. The Circulation Workroom is where the daily cash reports wiU be prepared, transfer and holds lists processed, and special inventory functions planned. Items coming in and out of the Circulation workroom from the mail delivery will either be taken directly to the shelves in the Children's or Adult areas, or be boxed to go to another branch library via the Mail Room (programmed in General Library Services). Volunteers are frequently assigned to this space to clean books and media. ~iiIBA"'_ i<i~IA' A Ubrls DESIGN Building Program n --2 /1 -- - iliiihw Reuort Print~d on' 03/021200.5 .

The Self-Checkout area provides 3 machines within a few feet of the Library's RFID security gates, and next to the heavily used Marketplace. Over 90% of all adult materials checked out will come through one of these machines. Guests will select books or DVDs from any location in the library. After gathering the titles they want, they make a simple stop at one of the three Self-Checkout machines (a fourth machine resides in the Children's Library). They place their library card under the barcode reader, and lay their selected items on the custom designed check-out counter. The RFID transmitter "reads" the unique code for each item and checks it out. Guests are then free to leave thru the nearby exit gates. In addition to checking-out materials, library guests will be able to pick up materials that are "On Hold" at a nearby self-service book shelf. Items are labeled with the guests last name and placed on this bookshelf. There should be a visually self-explanatory queuing system in front of the Self-Check machines. If a line begins to develop it should not block the ingress and egress of the library users. A staff member is always stationed in this area to assist users of the Self-Check machines. The staff has immediate access to a staff computer. This access allows the staff to quickly resolve routine glitches that arise from defaced barcodes to expired library cards. 3 Self-Check-out counters with 1-6 people waiting to use them 1 roving staff in this area The Self-Cheek-out machines must be adjacent to the Public Entrance and Lobby and the main circulation path in the library, but off to the side so as not to interfere with the traffic flow.

Two programs, known as "STRETCH" and "DASH" serve over 2,000 elementary school children each day at 35 different school sites. RDR will become their new headquarters. STRETCH (Safe Time for Recreation, Enrichment and Tutoring for Children) is an extended school-day program for children in Title I schools who need more opportunities to develop their language and literacy skills. STRETCH creates a dynamic, safe, and stimulating after-school environment that gives children the boost they need to succeed academically and socially. The program has a detailed, multi-faceted, highly structured daily curriculum, which includes group read-aloud, drama games, a homework center, novel reading, hands-on math games and art projects. At this time, the STRETCH Program is offered at 7 school sites. A full-time supervisor, who will be housed at RDR, provides support to a team of7 Site Coordinators and a staff of approx. 35 Youth Leaders.

DASH (Dynamic After School Hours) is an after school sports and recreation program conducted at 24 non- Title-l elementary schools and, though not literacy-oriented like STRETCH, also has strong academic and enrichment components. Monthly sports clinics ranging from lacrosse and field hockey to tennis and track and field are offered throughout the year. Currently 3 full-time supervisors oversee the program and give support to a team of 60 DASH Leaders, who, like their STRETCH counterparts, will regularly use the RDR offices as their base of training and support. The Educational Services Manager and the 4 after school Supervisors work as a team in the following major areas: . o Designing and developing curriculum and programming for a wide range of students (1st through 6th grade), covering a wide range of subjects (novel reading and phonics, to Ultimate Frisbee, to fine art, to cooperative team-building games...). 'DRecruiting, interviewing, and orchestrating the hiring of new staff. . o Providing dynamic, hands-on staff training, (central to the success of these programs!) Training occurs throughout the school year. Some training sessions involve as many as 60 participants at a time. They are loud (lots of chants, cheers, clapping and laughter); they are dynamic (requiring more of a gymnasium or playground space); they are multi-media (incorporating video and PowerPoint presentations).

(Group study rooms exist far that purpose) CONSIDER HAVING SMALLER OPEN TABLES THAT WOULD SEAT ONE OR TWO PEOPLE. Study carrels are not popular in the community. In our experience we have found peepie like to sit alone at their own personal table and have a view from this spot. Sometimes they will share with another person they know, but are loath to share with others they do not know. At Civic Center the 24" cafe tables that "seat 2 for coffee" have actually become favorite study desks. Four of the lounge chairs are soothing rocking chairs!

Also ather retail display techniques may be introduced in the stacks to draw attention to the wealth of material here. This area may need to be expanded in the future as the collection grows. To that end, fiexibility should be a goal, and a potential expansion plan would be wise. Although natural light is highly desirable in this space, east and west facing windows are to be avoided. Exterior windows may require roller shades or other light control devices. The fioor finishes must be stain resistant, dirt repellant, durable, attractive and as maintenance free as possible since they will get very heavy traffic. Wall finishes should be mark resistant, attractive, durable and easy to clean.

The accessible aisle requirement is increased in increments of 1 }'." per 5' in distance to the nearest exit, cross aisle, or foyer, If an accessible aisle is less than Sa" wide, then tuming and passing spaces of 60" by 60" must be located at any obstruction and at reasonable intervals not exceeding 200'. Aisies in stack areas must comply with accessibility requirements. Side aisles, which run parallel to stack sections, can be no longer than 20 to 21 feet (6 to 7 stack sections) without a cross aisle (range aisle) provided to break up the side aisles. Both side and range aisles are required to be 36" wide. Main aisles are principle access routes which run perpendicular to side aisles and must be a minimum of 44" wide. End aisles, which serve a single-faced section of stacks and run perpendicular to side aisles, must be a minimum of 36" wide with 44" required if side aisles are only 36" wide.

Signage will meet all accessibility requirements as outlined in the Signage Space Detail. Acoustical treatments in various areas will be considered by the acoustical engineer hired by the architect While this area will be relatively busy with patrons coming and going, it should provide some refuge from the hustle and bustle Marketplace area. Adequate sound control must be provided through the use of acoustic ceilings and floors, wall treatment, and the location of the stacks. Bookstacks should be located as a buffer to the reader seating in this area so that patrons can escape for quiet reading, study or undisturbed thought A white noise or sound masking system may be required to provide an appropriate environment for reading, study, or browsing. Temperature should be maintained between 68. and 72. with a relative humidity of 40 _ 60% for collection preservation and human comfort. Thermostats in public areas should have lockable covers. Ductwork should be baffled to prevent unacceptable noise levels in reading rooms. Variable Air volume zones will be employed throughout the building. This library will have attached lighting fixtures parallel to the bookshelves. This technique has been one of the few successful solutions to provide adequate lighting on a vertical book surface to read the call number or titles. Provide 30 foot candles vertically at 30" above the floor in the bookstacks. Lighting must be evenly distributed in the bookstack area from one end of a range to the other and from the top to the bottom of the bookstack. Provide non-glare and shadowless light within the aisles for an even di'ltribution of light to facilitate reading book spines and books. Books housed on single-faced shelving units should be highlighted to attract patrons to these collections. Spot lights are not acceptable. Provide a minimum of 30 to 40 foot candles of light (with 50 foot candles preferred) at table top level in the seating areas. Provide high quality, non-glare light in the seating areas for reading and viewing computer screens. Lighting should be zoned so that a portion of the fixtures can be turned off for energy savings when natural lighting is available or when lower levels of lighting are desirable. All lighting fixtures throughout the building should be accessible to change lights without renting equipment. The City owns and uses a scope lift for many of its facilities.

Books in the fiction collection are generally not the latest tities, so unlike the Marketplace, theft is not such an issue. However, the stacks and seating areas should be visible to passers-by. This offers some level of security. All materials will have RFID security tags. Security gates are located in front of the Marketplace which is the only entrance/exit to the library collections. Video surveillance cameras will be placed in strategic areas throughout the library to give the staff another set of eyes. Those electronic views will be monitored at the Security Workstation at the Customer Service Desk by staff. Signage will be part of a professional wayfinding system designed by the signage . consultant on the professional design team. The CVPL has begun developing sign terminology and "a look" in the Marketplace spaces at Civic and SCV branches. We desire this look become our "brand." Required signage includes a major area directional and identification sign which can be seen from the Lobby, Circulation Desk, OPAC Area, and Reference Area. This directional sign ("Fiction') must be wall-mounted or ceiling hung at least 80" high when suspended overhead on a path of travel and must have characters and numbers that are appropriately sized according to the viewing distance, but no less than 3' in height. Characters must have a width-to-height ratio of between 3:5 and 1:1 and a stroke width-to-height ratio between 1:5 and 1: 1 0; must contrast with their background; and must be In a matte, eggshell, or other non-glare finish. Signage requirements may include directional signs for major collection categories, such as "Westerns,' "Mystery," and "Science Fiction." A changeable insert sign system is required for stack end panels. Shelf face sign carriers may be required. Signs such as these should be addressed in the "Sign age Style Manual." Additional requirements include fire and life safety lighted exit signs, and may include a building fioor directory or stack location map,' pictogram flag signs in traffic paths for elevators or rest rooms, restriction signs, (e.g., "Emergency Exit Only - Alarm will Sound", ---== !~Q) A Ubris DESIGN Building Program Report Printed on: 03/0212005 rl -". .

On-the-floor roving staff will assist with the Public Internet Computers. The Customer Service Desk is the service assistance center of the library and houses the reference book collections, a central cluster of On-line Public Access Catalogs (OPACs), the computer lab, technology workstations with Internet access, photocopiers, and study rooms The Customer Service Desk is i=ediately beyond the busy and popular Marketplace, and bold signage catches the eye from the library lobby. Its roughly triangular shape divides the library between the "adult" and "children's" areas, yet provides service to all ages, including the users of the Children's Library. Here the public may ask a reference question, pay a fme, get a library card, or receive homework assistance. All the staff stationed here (normally 2-3) will be able to do all functions. A professional librarian will always be available in the building or on the desk to assist the public with more complex informational or policy inquiries. It is important the Customer Service Desk NOT appear as a bulwark or fortress. It should be low with labeled points of service that staff can easily move from behind the desk and onto the public floor. The service desks at Civic Center and SCV are NOT good examples of approachable desks. The height and depth of these desks have been barriers and kept the public remote from the staff. Our emphasis is being accessible, friendly, very mobile among the public and the books. The Joint Staff Workroom is situated adjacent to this desk area. Both children's and adult staff may easily access this Customer Service area from the workroom. Public Internet- The Public Internet Computers will be available for use whenever the library is open. This space is contiguous with the Computer Lab space. The Computer Lab is a "glass room" with glass doors that can be left open as an extension of the Public Internet Computers, OR closed to form a classroom if formal instruction is taking place. The OP AC and database computers will be networked to printers on printer stands hosted at or near the Customer Service Desk.

A piece of outside public art reminiscent of the community's history will be prominently displayed here, or perhaps on the East H/Paseo Ranchero corner near the electronic announcement sign. The art is intended to be a highly visible symbol of civic pride and perhaps a landmark that symbolizes this library. This will be part of the City of Chula Vista's public art project, overseen by the city's Office of Cultural Arts. An exterior drive-up book return ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE is an important feature to the efficiency ofRDR public service in this community. The return will feed into the automated sorting system housed in the Book Return Room. A monument "Chula Vista Public Library Rancho del Rey branch" sign visible from East H St. and Paseo Ranchero will include an electronic signboard that may be remotely control1ed by the Branch Manager Office to announce current and upcoming library programs. Windows that highlight the neighborhood presence and warm welcome of the library are desirable The ability for passers-by to see others "like themselves" using the building wiJ] beckon others to explore this facility and services. A small exterior courtyard as a gathering place with portable, colorful, easily cleaned, damage and sleep(!) resistant picnic tables with attached benches would be a welcome exterior feature (see Public Meeting Room Division). Children would bring their sack lunches here on field trips, or students would take a needed outdoor break. Our reading guests like to be outside as wel1 as inside. This area would be adjacent to the Public Meeting Room. An exterior door would lead in and out of the meeting room to this courtyard. Bicycle racks are adjacent to the front door and should be highly visible to discourage theft- a big problem in the past at existing libraries. If a skateboard parking zone with a secure racking system were developed it would also be welcome. INTERIOR Upon entering the library's main entrance there should be a feeling of spaciousness and anticipation. This is a natural space to express the pride of belonging to the Chula Vista community. The city has a rich heritage of ranching and agriculture from the days of the original Rancho Nacion up through the 1950's. In 1795, the Chula Vista area became a part of a Spanish land grant known as Rancbo del Rey or "The King's Ranch." WbenMexico formed its own government in 1831, Rancho del Rey became known as Rancho della Nacion. The ranch encompassed the area now known as National City, Chula Vista, Bonita, Sunnyside and the Sweetwater Valley. Rancho de la Nadon was used by the Spanish as grazing land for their cattle and horses until 1845 when it was granted to John Forster, the son-in-law of Mexican governor Pio Pico. An historical mural or art work would be a desirable link to the area's past, and explains the original of the name "Rancho de Rey." '.

The lobby will provide space for library guests to enter and exit the library and as a waiting area. However, we do not want the public to linger here. The library beyond should have a prominent enticement or piece of 'eye-candy' that proclaims "you have gotta come hither!" The entrance, meeting rooms, and restrooms should be clearly marked and accessible from the lobby. At times, this lobby might be open outside of norma! library hours, such as for evening performing arts events or early morning meetings. A light-weight attractive grate or interior screen would fulfil] the function of partitioning this space from the main part of the library, allowing the front doors to be open early or late. Functionally, one should instantly see the interior book drop where all returned items should be placed, and the upcoming library event schedule is displayed. This area also houses the major directory of a professionally designed, minimalist way-fmding system, and a small waiting area. The lobby area will undoubtedly be the resting spot for the distribution of community-based free magazines and newspapers. Attractive cubicles to house multiple copies of the 30-40 weekly give-always should be designed into this area. The Library Entrance Division is essentially a pass-through space which patrons will use when visiting either the library or the Public Meeting Rooms. It should be conveniently located to allow access to both. The Library Entrance Division must be able to be locked off and separated from the library at the security gates so that the meeting rooms and anci!1ary services can be open when the library is closed.

Many guests will enter this area and browse while standing, but occasionally they will want to sit for brief periods to examine a book more closely. Finding a book on a subject that interests them may also prompt them to check the library's OPAC for other books on the subject, therefore it is important to have OPACs iocated in this space. The convenience of the self-check machines is also very important for this area. Overall, this area should have the appearance, convenience, and feel of a retail space and the shelving which houses the books should be attractive display units. purchases far the library. A Marketeer is constantly shelving "just returned" books to the shelf. The goal Is to always have a copy of the latest best-seller for the next person who wants it. Our experience with the Marketplace at the Civic Center branch has proved the guests will hone-in on this spot and browse. The area needs to appear contemporary, relevant, and just crowded enough that users are attracted to see what all the action is in the space. Because of its location most adult users who come to the library will pause and browse. This area contains all DVD materials In the library- mostly feature films with some popular documentary or how-to-do it titles. The DVD area will be crowded and the DVDs prone to "walking out the door." Therefore, DVD's should be highly visible by public and staff, and the space should not provide hidden corners to vandalize the materiais. READER SEATS: 4 Lounge Chairs 3 OPAC Carrels All newly purchased materials with copyright dates in the current or most recent year will call the Marketplace home. The popuiarity of this area means the area has a high turnover with an 80% circulation rate at any given time. This fabulous circulation is a result of buying what is currentiy "best seller" caliber titles, and displaying the materials face out In "prime real estate." Attractiveness and enticement are the "name of the game." Our users can't resist browsing and checking out, even if they came into the library to do something else. A set of shelves called the Wander Wall (however, these may be shelved on mobile units that are not even near a wall!) will promote perennially favorite subjects with "hot" titles from the circulating shelves, not considered brand new books. However, we will display them as if they are Marketplace books in a series of 8 displayers.

Projection is recommended over the ceiling mounted projector onto the ceiling mounted screen. The top of the screen should be located at least 6 inches from the top of the wall to minimize reflections off the ceiling. The bottom edge of the screen should not be lower than 4 feet from the floor to provide a clear sight line to the entire screen from any seat in the room. Rear screen projection will be considerably more expensive and require a great deal more space than a ceiling mounted front projection screen. Sound from video and computer sources may be reproduced through speakers installed in the Meeting Room. If speakers are installed in the room, appropriate sound amplification will be required. Images may be displayed onto a projection screen that will be motorized. If the system Is to display television images, outlets shouid be provided adjacent to the projector for connection to the TV distribution system (e.g., Cable TV, antenna, satellite dish). Accommodations should be made for housing installed video source equipment (e.g., VCR, DVD,) and other processing equipment In the "Smart Podiums" within the Meeting Room (Meeting Room A and B). Both Meeting Rooms A and B will have Assisted listening transmitters and headphones Control paneis enabling operation of audiovisual system functions from a single push- button or touch screen graphical panel are available. Remote control equipment is often employed to integrate the control of audio-visual devices with other room functions such as lighting, motorized projection screens, and drapery into a unified system. With a remote control system, all audio-visual devices and many room functions can be operated from a single control panel. Control panels, which must be located at all presentation locations, can be wireless, portable with wire, or permanently installed on a wall, or millwork. Remote control panels can vary from mechanically activated push button types to software- based touch screens.

YOUNG ADULT SERVICES , r; -.,.'. -,' ~"\"" I ~- The function of this division is to provide collections to young adults (primarily ages 12 to 16), and a special link to the Cafe which provides a "cool" reading/lounging zone. Because of the "in-between" age, young adults often fall through the cracks with respect to library service. They are too old for the Children's Library, but frequently not mature enough or willing to utilize the services and collections of the adult library. In this space, the needs of young adults can be met with special collections, and the ability for young adults to exchange ideas conversationally without disturbing other patrons or staff. For this reason the YA collection will seamlessly join with one end of the Cafe, Having a trendy, comfortable, and casual theme is a big attraction for this corner of the cafe. It is expected this area will have a higher noise level than similar reading and study areas, and should be dampened with acoustical treatments. This area needs to feel "secluded" without really being that- such as a lower ceiling with hanging lamps over each table. An intimate coffee house ambiance- warm and friendly- would be ideal. Teens enjoy watching the stream of library traffic and this is also additional visibility which may not feel intrusive. The Cafe also houses the Wi-Fi hotspot. This gives great connectivity to any lucky teen who has a laptop. The Young Adult Services Division should be adjacent to the cafe. Being near the Cafe also lends a feeling of "coolness" and casualness. However, it should not be located too close to Reference Services because the noise generated may disturb the users who need quiet for study or research. The Young Adult Services Area should not be located near the Children's Library since youth of this age are frequently trying to separate themselves from the image of being children. The teen magazines are in the Periodicals section. Teens gravitate toward these as well as many other current and ephemeral magazines.

City Manager () I ~ .r '" (4/5ths Vote: Yes.x.. No~ REVIEWED BY: The California Used Oil Enhancement Act (1999) requires the collection of four cents for every quart oflubricating oil sold, transferred and imported into California from oil manufacturers. Chula Vista consumers pay four cents per quart into the fund when they purchase oiL The Act mandates that the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) use a portion of the funds to provide block grants to local governments for used oil programs that encourage used oil and oil filter recycling. Chula Vista is the lead agency for the Used Oil Recycling Program for the South Bay cities ofChula Vista, Imperial Beach and National City. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution accepting a grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board Used Oil Enhancement Act, Cycle 11 and appropriate $55,375 in unanticipated revenues for the FY06 supplies and services budget and $25,000 to the FY06 personnel services budget of the Waste Management Recycling Fund. BOARD/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: This grant is a "regional" program that includes the cities of Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and National City. The program targets regional watershed protection issues that affect all the cities that share the South Bay watershed. The primary purpose of this block grant is to provide alternatives to illegal disposal of used motor oil in storm drains, fields and waterways, through a network of collection opportunities and outreach efforts designed to inform and motivate the public to recycle used oiL This grant will continue to provide technical assistance and new supplies for approximately 33 !Tee used oil recycling drop-off centers and curbside collection programs in Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach. The public education component will allow the City to continue to provide advertising, portable displays, point of purchase displays, the Used Oil Hotline, billing inserts, bottles, funnels and drain pans. This will also allow staff to have a booth at the various car shows throughout the South Bay, reaching out to our target audience the "Do It Y ourselfers" (DIY ers). 8-1 Item f Meeting Date 12/13/05 This grant cycle also includes work at the marina providing boaters an alternative disposal option for oil contaminated bilge water and motor oil other than dumping it in the bay. FISCAL IMPACT: The grant will provide $80,375 to implement used oil recycling education and promotion through the 2005/2006 fiscal year. There is no additional fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action to adopt the attached resolution. The program does not require matching funds.

J.t>.s: City Mana~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No l) REVIEWED BY: The General Plan is the City's blueprint for the future. State law requires the City to create and then periodically update its General Plan so that it provides direction through elements such as land use, housing, environmental and others. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) also requires an environmental analysis and disclosure before the General Plan is 10-1 Page 2, Item No.: J') Meeting Date: 12/13/05 adopted or updated. The draft City of Chula Vista General Plan meets all of the requirements of State law, and does much more. . In April 2002, the City hosted a "town hall" meeting at Chula Vista High School to kick off the City's comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU) effort. This was the first in a series of six such town hall meetings, and over 70 citizen committee meetings spanning a four-year period to gather and digest the thousands of public comments from all segments of the community, and other technical inputs, in preparing the updated year 2030 vision for Chula Vista that is reflected in the proposed General Plan Update documents before you for action. Staff produced this draft plan by beginning with the five City Council strategic themes (Connected and Cohesive Community; Strong and Stable Neighborhoods; Economic Development; Diverse Cultural, Educational Recreational and Economic Opportunities; and Cost Effective Government and Fiscal Stability) and refining them through public input to create a vision for the future. Working with qualified consultants, and through the assistance and guidance of the four citizen committees, a plan consisting of recommended land uses and policies has been created to further these initiatives and provide the opportunity for Chula Vista to become a world-class city. The Draft General Plan unifies Chula Vista as a single, full-service city through an integrated transit network and by developing major activity centers in both the east and the west. The Draft General Plan provides new opportunities for our residents through designating land for a collaborative university campus, which will provide the tools to enable individuals to compete for high-paying jobs within the proposed regional technology park. The Draft General Plan also encourages a full range of housing types and densities in order to provide safe, affordable housing opportunities for all economic segments of our population. While development activity under the Draft General Plan will ultimately result in a city of over 300,000 residents, environmental stewardship is not forgotten. The Draft General Plan recognizes and furthers the strides the City has made in the areas of growth management, habitat preservation, sustainability and historic preservation. Finally, the Draft General Plan provides guidance for the City of Chula Vista to reach its potential through growth and renewal while continuing to respect the existing people and places that make us unique. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council: 1. Adopt the Resolution approving the Comprehensive General Plan Update with exceptions, repealing the Montgomery Specific Plan, and amending the City's MSCP Subarea Plan, with the following provisions: a. Approve the September 2005 re-released Draft General Plan (referenced as Document 1 of2); . 10-2 Page 3, Item No.: g,i Meeting Date: 12/13/05 b. Approve incorporation of the September 2005 edits (referenced as Document 20f2); c.

Adopt the Resolution approving the Comprehensive General Plan Update Land Use Map and Land Use and Transportation Element provisions regarding the Downtown Third Avenue District. 3.

Adopt the Resolution approving the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Resource Management Plan Amendments, including staffs land use recommendations and text erratas for the Freeway Commercial and Gun Club areas as presented in Attachments 4A and 4B, and the ORGDP clarification revisions in Attachment 6; and, 5. Direct staff to prepare a GPU Implementation Program consistent with Chapter 11 of the updated General Plan, and return that program to Council within 120 days, BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission- The Planning Commission is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the GPU on December 8, 2005, and if needed a second hearing/meeting on December 12, 2005, to consider the FEIR and GPU, and to form its recommendations to the City Council. Due to the size and complexity of the GPU, this staff report is being distributed to Council in advance of those meetings. As a result, staff will forward a separate communication to Council subsequent to that hearing(s), summarizing the Planning Commission's recommendations, and will also address those recommendations to Council as part of staff s oral presentation to Council on the GPu. Section lI.C and Attachment 2 of this report also summarize prior presentations and discussions regarding the GPU with both the Planning Commission and City Council over the duration of the GPU process, 10-3 Page 4, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Resource Conservation Commission - The Resource Conservation Commission (RCe) reviewed the Re-circulated Draft EIR on October 17,2005. After reviewing and discussing the document, the RCC voted 5-1-0-0 (Commissioner Stillman opposed) to recommend the certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) by the City Council. The RCC found the document to be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). GPU Steering Committee - At its June 14,2004 meeting, the Steering Committee completed its recommendations for the Preferred Alternative, in advance of a June 21, 2004 workshop to present these recommendations to the public. The results were summarized in the status report to the City Council on July 13, 2004, where Council accepted the report authorizing staff to finalize and release the GPU Preferred Alternative/documents for fo=al public review. There are two areas where staff's recommendation varies trom the Steering Committee's regarding the Preferred Alternative, and which are discussed further in Section ll-C of this report on page 12. . As the Planning Commission and City Council are aware, the City received numerous comments on the Plan and DEIR in early 2005, and decided to pause the GPU process to consider revisions to the Plan and the DEIR. Staff completed proposed draft Plan revisions in July, and met with the Steering Committee to review those revisions at meetings on July 14 and August 8, 2005. Among its comments at those meetings, the Steering Committee had two principal recommendations for changes to the proposed edits as follows: . · The Steering Committee preferred an option that retained the potential for high-rise buildings in the Eastern Urban Center (EVe), and in the two Transit Focus Areas (TFAs) at the E Street/I-5 and H Street/I-5, but not within the TF A near H Street/Third Ave. The Steering Committee felt that, due to the proximity of the H StreetlThird Ave. TF A to the older, downtown "village" area, a mid-rise designation (maximum 90 foot height) for that particular TF A is more compatible with the community character of the surrounding area. · The Steering Committee requested that an eighth theme be added to the GPU based on the notion of "harmonizing change", where new development and redevelopment take cues trom the existing land use context. Pursuant to City Council direction on August 18,2005, staff included the requested eighth theme in the revised GPU documents released for public review on September 19, 2005. On November 1, 2005, the City Council requested that staff include a GPU option for consideration that would apply mid-rise height limits to the TFA at H StreetlThird Ave., along with other clarifications. Proposed edits to this effect are presented in Attachment 1 for Planning Commission and Council consideration. GPU Subcommittees - Each of the three GPU Subcommittees were involved primarily in the review of public inputs, and info=ation trom various baseline studies, in preparation of recommendations to the Steering Committee regarding the development of the GPU Visions and Goals, and in the preparation of drafts of select General Plan Elements as follows: 10-4 Page 5, Item No.: I::' Meeting Date: 12/13/05 . Economic Development Subcommittee - Economic Development Element . Public Facilities & Services Subcommittee- Public Facilities and Services Element, and GTOwth Management Element. . Environment, Open Space & Sustainable Development Subcommittee- Environmental Element. As a result, the recommendations of the Subcommittees are effectively embodied through the content of those elements, and where land use and/or transportation matters were related, through the Land Use & Transportation Element content, which was focused on by the Steering Committee. DISCUSSION: I. GENERAL/BACKGROUND INFORMATION A. State and Other Requirements Regarding the GPU California state law requires each city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the city and any land outside its boundaries that relate to its planning and operation. Chula Vista's current General Plan, last comprehensively updated in 1989. General Plans typically look 25-30 years into the future, and are revisited and updated about every 10-15 years. State planning law requires that every General Plan must include seven mandatory "elements" (or topics): land use; circulation; housing; conservation; open space; noise; and safety. State law and the State. General Plan Guidelines published by the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR), also suggest a number of optional elements jurisdictions may address such as economic development, public services, and growth management. Although state law establishes this set of basic issues, and minimum content requirements, for consideration in local general plans, each city and county determines the relative importance of each issue to local planning, and decides how they are to be addressed in their general plan. As a result, no two cities or counties have general plans that are exactly alike in form or content. A comparison of Chula Vista's existing General Plan and the proposed GPU with State mandatory and elective components is presented in Section ILA of this report. B. Summary ofthe 4-year General Plan Update Process The General Plan Update process was rramed around a multi-year Chula Vista Vision 2020 public outreach program organized into four phases: . Phase I - Program design and initial community outreach, including a Town Hall and Community Festival, an innovative "Visioneering" program, and establishment of citizen committees. 10-5 Page 6, Item No.: ID Meeting Date: 12/13/05 · Phase II - Issue identification, preparation of Vision & Goals, and undertaking areawide background studies. . · Phase III - Development of draft General Plan Alternatives and Policies. · Phase N - Preparing and reviewing draft General Plan documents, holding public hearings and adopting the Plan The results of public outreach efforts are summarized in several reports completed at various stages in the process. The proposed General Plan Update is the product of one of the most ambitious public involvement efforts in the City's history, with six town hall style meetings, over 70 citizen committee and other public meetings, thousands of volunteer hours, and receipt of approximately 8,000 public comments over the different stages of the process. This program extended the time frame for completion of the update beyond the original schedule, but resulted in an improved product that reflects broad public support. Attachment 2 provides more details on the phases of the overall work program, and also summarizes previous General Plan meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council. C. Prior Planning Commission and Council Input and Direction During the four-plus-year process, much of the direction and content of the [mal GPU has been previously shared with the Planning Commission and City Council through 18 workshops or meetings dating from April 2002 to November 2005. This excludes any meetings related solely to work programs, budget and contracts. The subj ect matter of those meetings has addressed a variety oftopics, and related inputs and direction including: · Status and progress updates; · Review and discussion of: public comments/input; related report products; suggested direction, such as Town Hall and Visioneering summaries; and the GPU Vision and Goals report; · Review and input on key planning issues and policy implications; · Review and input on early plan concepts and alternatives, and direction to proceed with analysis and related public review and discussion; . Review and input on developing final plan alternatives and a preferred alternative; and · Review of final land use and transportation proposals, and the organization and content of the proposed GPU document in preparation for hearings initially anticipated in Spring 2005. A summary of the workshops/meetings is presented in Attachment 2. Following is an overview of the most recent actions regarding direction on the GPU documents being presented: · August 18, 2005 - At this joint Planning Commission/City Council workshop to review proposed GPU documents prior to release for a second formal public review, Council (among other inputs) directed staff to include the harmonizing 10-6 Page 7, Item No.: /D Meeting Date: 12/13/05 change theme, and to release the GPU edits as proposed by staff for public review along with the re-circulated Draft EJR. The proposed GPU edits and a re- circulated Draft Environmental Impact Report were released for public review on September 19,2005. . November I, 2005 - At this Council meeting, staff presented potential proposed edits regarding Transit Focus Areas and related design considerations, and was directed to include an option for action which included those edits, and which would limit building heights to mid-rise in the TFA at H Street and Third Ave. That option language is presented in Attachment I. D. Proposed General Plan Update Discretionary Actions The proposed discretionary actions associated with the General Plan Update consist of the following: 1. City of Chula Vista General Plan Amendment- A General Plan Amendment (GP A) is required for the comprehensive update to the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The proposed GP A includes provisions to: a. Adopt a new General Plan text, comprised of five new Elements conslstmg of revisions to the Elements comprising the current General Plan, with the exception of the current Housing Element. The proposed new Elements consist of the following: Land Use and Transportation Element; Economic Development Element; Public Facilities and Services Element; Growth Management Element; and Environmental Element. The proposed General Plan text also contains four background/introductory Chapters (1-4), and a new Implementation Chapter (11). b. Adopt a new General Plan Land Use Diagram to provide for land use changes within focused areas, and to establish the following new land use designations: Mixed Use Residential; Mixed Use Commercial; Mixed Use Transit Focus Area; Urban Core Residential (28-60 dwelling units/acre); Open Space Preserve; Open Space-Active Recreation; Regional Technology Park; and Areas Acquired for Open Space in accordance with the definition of these proposed land use categories in the proposed Land Use and Transportation Element. With regard to the MSCP, designation of all areas within the Chula Vista MSCP Preserve are proposed to be changed to Open Space Preserve, and other amendments along development edges and the preserve areas are proposed to create consistency with the approved MSCP. The Land Use Diagram also adds a Town Center, and University Study Area to the Special Plan Area category, deletes the prior Thoroughfare Commercial designation, redesignates prior Village Cores to Mixed Use Residential, and the prior Specialty Conference Center designation to Public Quasi-Public. 10-7 Page 8, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 c. Adopt a new Circulation Diagram including four new roadway classifications within the Urban Core area of western Chula Vista, a new Town Center Arterial designation within portions of the Otay Ranch in eastern Chula Vista, and a new citywide transit system network based on SANDAG's regional transit vision. 2. City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan, Otay Ranch General Development Plan, and Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan Amendments regarding open space and MSCP preserve provisions: a. Amend the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and RMP to redefme the eastern and southern boundaries of Villages 9, 10 and II consistent with the adopted City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. b. Amend the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and RMP to include approximately 52 acres of developable university land in the southeastern portion of Salt Creek, consistent with the adopted City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. c. Amend the General Plan and Otay Ranch General Development Plan land use maps by adding a note that clarifies which development areas have been acquired for open space purposes within Villages 14, 15 and Bella Lago. d. Amend the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan to implement a mapping correction to change approximately 45 acres of active recreation land uses within the Otay River Valley to Preserve, as depicted on Attachment 11. 3. Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendments Amendments are proposed to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, consisting of revisions to the GDP text and to the GDP land use maps and tables that are consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment. These amendments correspond to the changes in the General Plan described above. 4. Repealing of the Montgomery Specific Plan The proposed General Plan Update Land Use and Transportation Element contains a Southwest Area Plan which covers the Montgomery Specific Plan area. Relevant policies and other provisions ftom the 1988 Montgomery Specific Plan are included within the Southwest Area Plan, along with current information and new policies and provisions. As a result, the Montgomery Specific Plan is proposed to be repealed with the effective adoption of the General Plan Update. The Southwest Area Plan calls for preparation of other, more focused specific plans for several districts, including Palomar/Gateway, West Fairfield, Main Street, and South Third Avenue. 10-8 Page 9, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 II. GPU STRUCTURE AND CONTENT A. Overview of Proposed General Plan Update Structure in Relation to State Requirements and the Current General Plan Chula Vista's General Plan Update is organized into eleven chapters. The first four chapters present background information and context, and consist of: (1) Preface; (2) Introduction; (3) Chula Vista in Perspective; and (4) Vision and Themes. Chapters 5-10 feature the six Elements, and Chapter 11 is General Plan Implementation. As shown in the table below, this six Element format represents a condensing from our current General Plan's ten Elements, but none-the-less still contains the necessary content for all of the seven State-mandated elements, as well as content regarding many of the suggested or elective elements, including the new Economic Development Element. As discussed earlier in Section LA of this report, while State law does mandate content for seven "elements", it does not dictate how local General Plans are structured in providing that content, or the content of any elective "elements" . Combining the Elements is intended to make the plan more understandable and easy to use by discussing and presenting related topics together, and aligning document organization and content with the major themes. . LAND USE . LAND USE . LAND USE & . CIRCULATION . CIRCULATION TRANSPOR. . HOUSING . HOUSING . HOUSING . CONSERVATION . SUTAINABLE . OPEN SPACE & . ENVIRONMENTAL . OPEN SPACE DEVELOPMENT CONSERV. . NOISE . NOISE . SAFETY . SAFETY . PUBLIC FACIL. . PUBLIC . PUBLIC . PARKS & REC. FACILITIES FACILITIES & . WATER . PARKS & REC SERVICES . ENERGY . CHILD CARE . GROWTH . GROWTH MANGEMENT MANAGEMENT ECON./FISCAL . ECONOMIC . DEVELOPMENT Page 10, Item No.: I:; Meeting Date: 12/13/05 A standardized format is used throughout the updated General Plan. Each Element contains introductory text describing how it implements the vision and eight themes (the building blocks for the General Plan Update, created by four citizens' advisory committees (see GPU Chapter 4), and how it relates to other elements, plans and policies. An overall goal (a broad statement that guides action) is stated and topic areas identified. Each topic is discussed, followed by an objective(s) (a statement of a desired end) and policies (a rule or course of action that indicates how an objective will be achieved). B. Overview of Proposed General Plan Element Content The Land Use and Transportation Element combines land use and circulation elements into one. By combining them, the ChuIa Vista General Plan recognizes and emphasizes the important link between land use designations, intensity of development, and mobility. It reflects anticipated levels of development, the road system necessary to serve that development, and alternative forms of transportation available to move people and goods. The element includes discussion of the relationship between the element and state planning requirements, the General Plan Vision and Themes, and related plans and programs. Pertinent background information is presented on various topics covered by the element, with additional reports and plans referenced if the user needs further detail. It also discusses the underlying principles that form the basis for the General Plan Land Use and Circulation classifications and diagrams. The currently adopted Housing Element is included in the General Plan Update. An update of the Housing Element is under way pursuant to State requirements, with City adoption of the new Housing Element anticipated early next year. The Housing Element process is subject to regional housing needs as determined by the California Department of Housing 'and Community Development (HCD) and a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) that distributes this need to local jurisdictions by income categories. The RHNA is to be provided to local jurisdictions approximately 12 months prior to Housing Element update completion. In this housing element cycle, the RHNA was not adopted by SANDAG until late February 2005. The existing Housing Element is in effect until a revised Element is adopted in early 2006. The Environmental Element combines conservation, open space, safety, and noise elements into one, and is divided into the following sections: Conservation, Open Space, Natural Hazards, Hazardous Materials and Waste, and Noise. It addresses relevant environmental issues, including open space; water quality and conservation; biological resources; mineral resources; air quality; cultural resources; agricultural resources; energy; noise; and geologic, flood, and wildfire hazards. The Economic Development Element establishes policies to ensure the long-term vitality of the local economy, and is modeled upon the City's adopted Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Element is to help develop and guide employment and business ownership opportunities in Chula Vista, and encourage appropriate economic and business development in the City. 10-10 Page 11, Item No.: / () Meeting Date: 12/13/05 The Public Facilities and Services Element establishes the City's plan to provide and maintain infrastructure and public services for future growth without diminishing services to existing development. Public facilities collectively refer to utilities such as water, sewer, drainage, power and telecommunication services. Public services collectively refer to schools, library, law enforcement and fIre protection. Public facilities and services that enrich the community, such as parks, recreation centers, art and cultural facilities and programs, childcare opportunities and health and human services are also addressed in this element. The Growth Management Element describes the various components that together create the overall growth management program that guides future development in the City. C. Proposed Amendments Differing from Previously Distributed General Plan Update Materials When the General Plan Update was originally circulated for public review in early 2005, there were substantial comments and concems expressed as to how and under what circumstances high-rise buildings might occur, as well as concerns regarding protections to overall community character and the preservation of stable neighborhood areas, particularly within the older core area of downtown that the public has termed "the village". In response to these and other comments, staff prepared a set of edits to the GPU, which included expanded discussions, policies and criteria on the topics of urban design and form, stable neighborhoods protections, historic preservation, and the circumstances under which potential high-rise buildings could be considered in the TFAs. Those edits were released for public review, along with the original GPU document and the re-circulated DEIR, on September 19, 2005. In addition, there are two instances where staff s recommendations vary from those of the Steering Committee Preferred Altemative. These are also discussed below. Transit Focus Area Design Considerations and Building Heights (see Attachment 1 )- Since the September 2005 release, there has continued to be substantial public comment and discussion regarding the provisions for potential high-rise buildings within the proposed TF A at H Street and Third Ave. In response (and as noted earlier in this report), staff prepared potential additional GPU text edits (beyond those released on September 19) to provide an option limiting building heights to mid-rise within the H Street/Third Avenue TFA, along with policy enhancements to better clarify design considerations for the form and massing of larger buildings to be applied to all TF As, and the interface between the TF As and surrounding areas. Following is a summary of these proposed errata edits along with references to content as presented in Attachment 1: . Building heights within the H Street/ Third Avenue TFA would be limited to mid-rise heights. (See page 3, policy LUT 2.3; page 8; page 9, policy LUT 49.13; page 10; page 11 and page 12, policy LUT 53.3) 10-11 Page 12, Item No.: IC Meeting Date: 12/13/05 · To further ensure that new development in all the TF As is sensitive to surrounding neighborhoods, additional building setback, step-back and design provisions are proposed. (See page 1; page 3, policy LUT 2.5; page 4, policy LUT 3.3; page 5, policies LUT 4.6 and 6.3; page 7, policy LUT 7.6) · New development within all TF As would be required to include features to soften the transition to adjacent areas. (See pages 1 & 2; page 6, policy LUT 7.5) . Tbe above proposed provisions and policies would not be detrimental to, or inconsistent with realizing a successful TF A at H Street/Third Ave. High-rise building forms are not necessary to achieve the density/intensity intended for the TF As, but are primarily intended to provide visual identification and landmarks at these key areas. Of the three TFAs in the Northwest area, the two along the Interstate 5 corridor are most important in creating visual landmark identification along a major, regional travel route, and at the primary western entrances to the City and the future bayfront development. The desired demarcation at the H St/Third Avenue TFA is more internally focused to highlighting the southern entrance to the downtown Third Avenue corridor. Necessary identification for this community entrance through architectural uniqueness and other elements could be successfully accomplished with mid-rise building forms. Staff Recommended Land Use Alternatives (see Attachments 3A.B and 4A.B)- Freeway Commercial Focus Area- Staff supports an alternative to the Steering Committee's Preferred Alternative recommendation for Mixed Use Residential on the northerly 35 acres of the Freeway Commercial Focus Area in the Otay Ranch Subarea. Staff recommends this area be retained as Retail Commercial as currently designated on the General Plan and in the Otay Ranch GDP. Necessary revisions to the proposed GPU Freeway Commercial Focus Area Land Use Map and related policies, and corresponding revisions to the Otay Ranch GDP, to retain the Retail Commercial designation are included in Attachments 3A and 4A respectively. Reasons in support of the staff recommendation are: · It is believed that the demand for retail property will remain very strong and the change to mixed use residential will reduce the inventory of available land necessary for needed retail commercial property · Tbe property is located adj acent to existing, significant retail uses and has been planned as part of a retail corridor which transitions from big-box /warehouse retail to the north, to other freeway-oriented commercial (the Otay Ranch Town Center currently under construction) and followed by the EUC farther to the south. · It is situated on three sides by significant arterial roadways, Olympic Parkway, SR 125 and Eastlake Parkway. This makes the property highly conducive to retail development while reducing its viability as a livable residential community. 10-12 Page 13, Item No.: J C Meeting Date: 12/13/05 . Residential development of this site would be isolated from many necessary residential services and amenities, such as parks, elementary schools and other community purpose facilities, and other residential communities. Substantial residential capacity is already provided in other, better suited areas of Otay Ranch. Gun ClublBird Ranch, Otay Valley District - Staff supports an alternative to the Steering Committee's Preferred Alternative recommendation of Open Space - Active Recreation, for a portion of this approximately 209 acre area. This same area also comprises Planning Area 20 of the Otay Ranch GDP. Staff recommends a IS-acre portion of the District and Planning Area be designated Mixed Use Commercial. Accompanying Staff's recommendation are policies that direct that the commercial uses be limited to those that support the existing, nearby recreational uses, the amphitheatre and waterpark, and potential, future uses allowed on the remaining lands designated for active recreation. Necessary revisions to the proposed General Plan Land Use Map and related District policies, and corresponding revisions to the Otay Ranch GDP to effect the Mixed Use Commercial designation are included in Attachments 3B and 4B respectively. Reasons in support of the staff recommendation are: . These additional supporting uses would strengthen the attraction to the existing recreational uses in the area as well as encourage new active recreational uses. This point was specifically put forth in the Economic Development Strategy recently adopted by City Council. . The commercial uses would be required to be carefully sited to avoid impacts to sensitive biological habitats and other natural resources and measures to reduce impacts to adjacent resources strictly applied. . Such uses would be required to be consistent with those identified in the City's MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan. Miscellaneous GPU Edits and Corrections (see Attachment 5)- Since the September release, the need for several non-substantive edits and minor corrections has been bought to staff's attention, and are proposed for revision as summarized below and presented in erratas in Attachment 5. . Graphical errors existed on two Figures, and in related text references to these Figures, in the Land Use & Transportation Element; Figure 5-4 Designated Scenic Roadways, Figure 5-6 Entryways and Gateways, and text in LUT Element Sections 3.1 and 3.2. The changes ensure the Figures correctly reflect road designations as presented in the text, and do not represent any material change to proposed scenic roadways, entryways or gateways. The text edits correct Figure number references and ensure consistency between the Figures and text. 10-13 ;~ Page 14, Item No.: f '-' Meeting Date: 12/13/05 · During printing, a line of text was inadvertently omitted from Policy GM 7.5 on page (GM-19) of the Growth Management Element. That line of text is reflected in the errata. · Text addressing the Mixed Use Residential component of the Freeway Commercial Focus Area under the GPU Steering Committee Preferred Alternative was inadvertently omitted from the Land Use and Transportation Element East Area Plan. The proposed text would modify Objective LUT 96 and add a new Policy LUT 96.3 to address mixed use residential in the northerly part of the Freeway Commercial Focus Area, in the event the Steering Committee recommendation is approved. Miscellaneous Otav Ranch GDP Edits and Corrections (see Attachment 6)- · Otay Ranch GDP, Part 2, Section E, SPA Requirements; in response to comments, staff is proposing to add a statement to the current list of SPA requirements to clarify that population calculations for SPA Plans will be determined based on current coefficients at the time of SPA Plan preparation. This is in keeping with past practice. · Reference to La Media Rd. was inadvertently omitted from, Part II, Chapter 2, Section B of Circulation Element Arterial and Major Roads, and has been added. · A policy allowing limited commercial uses was inadvertently inserted into the Preferred Alternative for Planning Area 20. E. Alternatives Proposed by Others In addition to the alternatives proposed by staff, and the miscellaneous edits and corrections as noted above, there are two instances where other parties desire that the Planning Commission support, and the Council approve an alternative other than the Preferred Alternative. Those involve a portion of the South Broadway area, and the Southwest Town Focus Area along Third Avenue between Naples St. and Orange Ave as follows: South Broadwav District (see Attachment 7 A)- Portions of the South Broadway District south of Naples Street are proposed for change to Mixed Use Commercial in the Preferred Plan. Other stable commercial and some residential uses are not proposed for change. One option asked to be considered by a member of Council is the provision of Mixed Use Residential on properties south of Palomar Street, and generally extending to Anita Street, consistent with those presented in GPU Scenario 2. Scenarios ranging from Mixed Use Residential to Mixed Use Commercial were considered for the entire length of the South Broadway District (See Section IV of this report and Attachment 8). However, the GPU Steering Committee and staff agreed that from Naples Street to Main Street there should be space reserved for automotive service uses, which don't mix compatibly with residential uses. With redevelopment being considered for most of Broadway that would include the addition of housing, this 10-14 ~. Page 15, Item No.: !V Meeting Date: 12/13/05 segment as well as other Limited Industrial areas within the Main Street District remain the few areas that would be compatible for automotive service uses. Consideration to allow for Mixed Use Residential in the area could aid the redevelopment of some properties in the near-term by providing additional economic potential in the currently strong housing market. Because both options have been analyzed within the GPU EIR, Council can decide between them. South Third Avenue District - Southwest Town Focus Area (see Attachment 7B)- The South Third Avenue District includes Mixed Use Residential redevelopment south of Naples Street to Palomar Street. This area is identified as the "Oxford Town Focus Area" for the Southwest Planning Area, and will be served by a future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station near Palomar Street and Third Avenue. One option asked to be considered by Rudy Ramirez, a member of the GPU Steering Committee representing the Southwest Planning Area, is to shift or extend the Town Focus Area further south to include both sides of Third Avenue down to Orange Avenue. Crossroads II has also indicated support for this consideration. Staff has met with Mr. Ramirez and representatives of Crossroads II and has prepared a draft option for Council consideration that incorporates their proposal, and is acceptable to staff (See Attachment 7B). The option calls for extending the boundaries of the focus area down to Orange Avenue and renaming the focus area as the "Southwest Town Focus Area." The option also calls for conducting a special study to determine the precise boundaries for the Southwest Town Focus Area, followed by the preparation of a specific plan already proposed in the GPU text to guide future development of the area III. OVERVIEW OF THE GPU's MAJOR PLANNING PROPOSALS The following section of the report offers a quick summary of the GPU's major planning proposals in key topic areas including land use, transportation, environmental, growth management, public facilities and services, and implementation. Further discussion and detail is presented in Section IV ofthis report, and in Attachment 8. A. Land Use The City's General Plan encompasses 58,422 acres. The General Plan Update (GPU) leaves the land use designations for 53,096 acres of this area unaffected, and proposes land use changes on only 5,268 acres, or less than 10 percent of the planning area. Land use changes proposed by the General Plan Update are restricted to limited areas within three planning areas: Northwest, Southwest, and East. However, several of the objectives and policies presented by the General Plan Update apply broadly to the General Plan area. Below is a brief summary of the Preferred Plan modifications for each planning area: 10-15 Page 16, Item No.: 10 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Northwest: Increased mixed use development, allowing more residential and transit-oriented uses in the vicinity of major transit corridors; increased multi-family and decreased single-family in the Urban Core, nearly doubling the number of dwelling units. Southwest: Focuses redevelopment within the Montgomery Subarea to facilitate economic opportunities through appropriate designation of transit-oriented, industrial, commercial and higher-density residential. Promotes mixed use or other appropriate densities to facilitate smart growth planning, and to establish an identifiable town center area East: Changes in Otay Ranch Subarea's four planning districts are made that increase overall densities for residential use while increasing lands designated for commercial and industrial. Lands designated for public/quasi-public uses and the amount and location of open space and parklands are altered. Revisions are made to the arterial roadway system. Amendments to the Otay Ranch Subarea's General Development Plan (GDP) text, land use maps and tables, are made consistent with the General Plan Update. Includes increased acreage for residential, industrial, and commercial land; establishing a new Town Center (TC) land use designation, which allows higher density housing, office, retail and other commercial development than allowed in traditional village cores. B. Transportation 1. The following changes to the current, adopted Circulation Element are proposed (see Attachment 9): · Removal of Main Street from Heritage Road to La Media Road . Realignment and reclassification of Rock Mountain Road to connect to Main Street at Heritage Road . Removal of Alta Road south and east of Eastlake Parkway . Reduction of travel lanes on H Street between Broadway and Hilltop Drive from six to four . Deletion of current half-diamond interchange at Palomar Streetll-805 . Removal of the Woodlawn Avenue connection between F and G Streets . Reduction of travel lanes on Otay Lakes Road, from Bonita Road to East H Street, from six to four · Removal of the Blacksmith Road connection to Proctor Valley Road 2. The following new roadway classifications are proposed within the Urban Core and its immediate environs: . Gateway Street . Urban Arterial . Commercial Boulevard . Downtown Promenade In addition to the above-listed new street classifications in the Urban Core, the following new classification will be implemented in the East Planning Area: 10-16 Page 17, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 . Town Center Arterial 3. Establishment of a Citywide Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Network SANDAG's adopted Regional Transit Vision calls for a network of fast, flexible, reliable, and convenient transit services that connect where people live with where they work, and other maj or activity centers. The South Bay Transit First-Tier Qne Plan (also described as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)) involves the implementation of enhanced transit service strategies designed to improve the attractiveness and viability of transit to capture trips that typically travel by single-occupancy passenger cars. The overall intent is to use improved buses that emulate rail service by increasing vehicle speeds and rider comfort and convenience. Market research has defmed four color-coded service concepts to address varying needs. Together, these different service concepts make up a comprehensive system that complements and supports existing and planned land uses. C. Environmental The primary goal of the Environmental Element is to promote sustainable development, a means of balancing growth and economic progress with the protection of natural resources and the environment in a socially responsible manner. The topic areas below address the components of the Environmental Element (which combines the conservation, open space, safety, and noise elements into one) that are intended to achieve this goal. . Conservation - Addresses biological conservation, energy, water and mineral resources. . Open Space - Includes four open space categories addressing general open space, preserves, active recreation and parks. . Environmental Justice - Addresses the equitable distribution of public facilities and the avoidance of disproportionate impacts to lower income and minority populations through appropriate land use planning. . MSCP Subarea Plan - Achieves consistency and full incorporation of the City's previously adopted plan throughout the General Plan. . Water Qualitv - Ensures protection of water quality and encourage continued participation in regional watershed planning. . Water Supplv - Promotes water efficient communities and conservation programs and enhance City's existing water conservation program. . Mineral Resources - Provides for the identification and extraction of resources, as well as restoration. . Air Qualitv - Provides for land use planning that includes walkable communities, transit, siting of new sensitive receivers, and siting of new or re-powered energy generators. . Energv Conservation - Promotes decreased dependence on non-renewable energy sources, energy efficient construction, use of alternative electricity, and promotes the establishment of energy conservation programs. . Solid Waste Disposal - Promotes recycling, proper disposal of household hazardous waste, and compo sting to reduce solid waste disposal. 10-17 Page 18, Item No.: 10 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 . . Cultural Resources - Discourages the disruption, demolition and other negative impacts to historic cultural and paleontological resources. · Ecotourism - Encourages the collaboration with other jurisdictions and agencies to explore future possibilities for ecotourism. · Natural Hazards - Provides for risk reduction. strategies associated with natural hazards related to geology, flooding, wildland fires and hazardous materials and waste. D. Growth Management Chula Vista's growth management program has been an effective tool in managing growth in the city since 1987. The General Plan Update builds on this success and recommends additional features that improve the flexibility of the program to address changing circumstances and expands policy language to allow additional management tools to be at the City's discretion. Therefore, the basic structure of the growth management element remains intact. Additional features have been incorporated. Urban infill, redevelopment, and revitalization were not significant growth factors in 1987. Hence the development of the original growth management element was focused on greenfield suburban style features. With an increased emphasis on the western portion of the city there is the need to reevaluate the growth management thresholds to ensure that those thresholds provide an adequate level of facilities and services; that their provision is timed appropriately; that financing methods are identified; and that they support growth objectives and do not, instead, stymie efforts to improve the overall quality of life. The General Plan Update provides that both thresholds and financing methods be tailored to achieve these objectives in western Chula Vista and other urbanizing areas. A common growth management tool used around the country is to regulate the rate of growth when that growth is deemed to be detrimental to the community's quality of life, public health, safety or welfare. Chula Vista does not currently possess this mechanism. The General Plan Update recognizes this deficiency and incorporates language that allows for the creation of an ordinance that will establish the City Council's ability to impose a growth rate cap or other metering mechanism should they determine that the rate of growth has the potential to create, or is creating, community problems. E. Public Facilities and Services Water - Policies direct City staff to continue our close working relationships with the water districts and the County Water Authority (CWA) to ensure that water availability and infrastructure are adequate to meet the future needs as the City continues to grow. Continued efforts at water conservation and use of recycled water are also addressed. Sewer - The General Plan Update provides a context whereby sewer demands can be estimated and appropriate hook-up fees levied to finance the purchase of the capacity required. 10-18 Page 19, Item No.: /(1 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Drainage - Regardless of the General Plan Update the City is subject to the City of Chula Vista Grading Ordinance, the Subdivision Manual, Strom Water Management Standards Requirements Manual, and "best management practices" (BMP) requirements for construction sites. Chula Vista is also part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Law Enforcement - The new Police Department facility will provide capacity to support future growth. Additional officers, staff, and equipment will be added incrementally as the city grows and need is evaluated. Fire Protection - The General Plan Updates supports the continued implementation of the existing or updated Fire Station Master Plan that identifies station and equipment requirements. Schools - The General Plan Update identifies the number of schools that may be needed to accommodate growth. Although the provision of school facilities and services is the responsibility of the respective school districts, there has been increased cooperation between the City and the districts to assure that schools are constructed in a timely fashion. Libraries - Policies call for updating the Chula Vista Public Library Facilities Master Plan within the next five to eight years to insure that the facilities and standards are up-to-date and applicable. Parks and Recreation - Recognizing land constraints and other factors associated with urban redevelopment, policies call for the recognition of "urban parks" and features that may be different in character from traditional park and recreation facilities, such as those in the East Planning Area. Art & Culture. Child Care and Health Services - A general plan is not required to include art, culture, child care and health services as an element of the plan. However, the City of Chula Vista has recognized that these services are vital to a healthy community. Supporting general plan policies are designed to insure that these services are sited appropriately and that the activities are encouraged by both the public and private sector. Civic Presence - Policies maintain the City's facilities as convenient and promotes professionalism of the staff. Energv - The General Plan Update recognizes that, as the City grows, additional energy related facilities, or substations, will be needed. Locations of future facilities will be specified in the Sectional Planning Area process. Solid Waste - The General Plan Update recognizes that the City has contractual agreements and options to provide solid waste disposal services through the build-out year of 2030. F. Implementation The implementation chapter identifies implementation measures - actions, plans and programs - associated with carrying out the direction of each of the General Plan Elements. These measures 10-19 It') Page 20, Item No.: J Meeting Date: 12/13/05 are designed to achieve and accomplish the goals, objectives and policies that will bring about the vision established for Chula Vista's future. In effect, the implementation measures serve as the critical link between the General Plan and tangible actions. At the end of the implementation chapter, there is an implementation table for each General Plan element. The tables, designed to be a reader's guide for those putting together work programs, cover all the policies of a particular element and the implementation measures that need to be accomplished. A more detailed implementation and monitoring program including recommended priorities, schedules, funding sources, companion agencies and related General Plan policies will be prepared and maintained separately from the Chula Vista General Plan text. IV. OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE This section of the staff report presents a condensed of the summary of the proposed Preferred Alternative that is reflected on the proposed Land Use and Transportation Diagram, and in the text of the Draft General Plan Update document - the Land Use and Transportation Element in particular. As presented earlier in Section ILC of this report, the Preferred Alternative (inclusive of the errata edits in Attachment I) reflects the Steering Committee's consensus. Staff has only two instances where our recommendations vary from the Steering Committee; the Freeway Commercial area in Otay Ranch, and the old Gun Club site along Heritage Road across from Coors Amphitheatre. Staff's recommendations for those areas were previously discussed in report Section II.E. . The following summary discussions are intended to simply highlight and convey the main proposals and their general rationale within each of the three major Planning Areas (Northwest, Southwest and East), and their Subareas and Districts. Attachment 8, and the text of the GPU and the DEIR contain a more expanded description and discussion. . There are also several other instances in which property owners or other parties may desire the approval of land use proposals contained among the alternatives evaluated as part of the GPU, but not reflected in the current Preferred Alternative. One instance exists in the Northwest, and two in the Southwest Area. Each of those is addressed below in conjunction with the associated Area discussion under the heading of "options proposed by others", and also presented further in Attachment 8. A. Northwest Area The Northwest Planning Area consists of approximately 4,000 acres located north of L Street and west of Interstate 805. This area constitutes the original town plan for the City of Chula Vista and is divided into three planning Subareas in the Draft GPU; the Urban Core, Hilltop and Lower Sweetwater Subareas. The majority of changes are proposed within the Urban Core Subarea; however, stable neighborhoods throughout the Northwest Subarea are protected through policies in the Draft GPU. 10-20 Page 21, Item No.: /:J Meeting Date: 12/13/05 1. Area-wide Proposals Several Northwest Planning Area-wide proposals have been identified throughout the General Plan Update process and have been responded to in the Draft GPU. The following is a brief synopsis of these area-wide proposals. a. Transit and Transit Focus Areas Four areas are proposed for the highest densities and intensities and mix of land uses, given their location in proximity to existing and future transit stations, and their role as major activity areas: the Eastern Urban Center in Otay Ranch, and the three "transit focus areas" (TF As) surrounding the existing trolley stations at E Streetllnterstate 5 and H Street/Interstate 5, and the future station area near H Street and Third Avenue. b. H Street Transit Corridor Special Study On August 10, the City Council requested that a policy be added to the Draft GPU calling for a special study analyzing and evaluating the appropriateness of future General Plan/specific plan changes that could result in a different mix of land uses, development intensities, and urban form, than called for in the GPU. The study area would generally be along H Street between Interstate 5 and Fourth Avenue. Policy for this study was included in the edits document released on September 19, 2005 (Document 2 of2). c. Mobility Emphasis is on pedestrian-friendly streets and mixed uses and intensification that would result in shorter vehicular trips or the use of other modes of travel. A new classification of streets is proposed, along with a transit network connecting the Bayftont to the Urban Core, and to the East Planning Area. A shuttle system and pedestrian connections between downtown and the Bayftont is also proposed. d. Urban Design and Neighborhood Protection Policies addressing the issue of urban design and form, as well as community character and neighborhood protection are included. (Please refer to Chapter 5 Land Use and Transportation Element, Sections 7.2, 7.5, 7.6, 9.3.8 and 9.4, for policies.) The Urban Core is targeted for substantial change over time. e. Parks and Recreation New residential development in the Northwest will be primarily apartments and condominiums in a more intense urban environment; therefore, it is anticipated that the size of any new parks in this area, and the type of amenities provided, will be appropriate to an urban environment and may be somewhat different than what is found in parks built in the East Planning Area's suburban master planned communities. (Please refer to Chapter 8 Public Facilities and Services Element, Section 3.5 Parks and Recreation, for policies). 10-21 , 'J Page 22, Item No.; I {. Meeting Date: 12/13/05 2. District-level Land Use Proposals The Urban Core Subarea consists of five districts where change is proposed; the Downtown Third Avenue, Interstate 5 Corridor, H Street Corridor, Mid-Broadway and Mid-Third Avenue Districts, A summary description of the proposed General Plan land use changes in these areas is provided below, with greater detail in Attachment 8, Please see Section V of this report for a description of other land use Scenarios (1 through 3) considered in developing the Preferred Alternative for the Northwest Planning Area, a. Downtown Third Avenue District The Draft GPU proposes increased residential densities in a mixed use arrangement within the Downtown Third Avenue District, as well as the retention of the pedestrian scale retail along the Third Avenue frontage. . b. Interstate 5 Corridor District Within the Interstate 5 Corridor housing will be mixed with commercial along Broadway, north of I Street, higher density housing will be provided between Interstate 5 and Broadway, and increased development intensity with taller building forms surrounding existing trolley stations at E Street and H Street and at primary gateways into the City. Visitor-serving uses are focused along these gateways where they intersect with Broadway. c. H Street Corridor District The H Street gateway continues east as the H Street Corridor District, a transit boulevard between Broadway and Third Avenue that supports redevelopment of the Chula Vista Center with added housing and offices and future transit station (BRT), expanded office uses near Scripps Hospital and the provision of more intense mix of housing with commercial near a future transit (BRT) station near Third Avenue and the South County Regional Center. d. Mid-Broadway District The Mid-Broadway District, located between I Street and L Street will provide additional housing mixed with commercial providing more vitality. e. Mid-Third Avenue District The Mid- Third Avenue District reinforces the segregation of stable retail and office land uses between I Street and L Street. f. Flower Street Property This property proposed for change involves approximately 3 acres and is located on the south side of Flower Street, extending from Fifth Avenue to just east of Brightwood Avenue. The proposed change would be from Residential Low Medium to Residential Medium to reflect largely what exists in the area today. 10-22 Page 23, Item No.: 10 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 g. Lower Sweetwater Subarea North Second Avenue Property - This property proposed for change involves approximately 70 acres located south of State Route 54 and between North Second Avenue and Interstate 805. The property includes approximately 3 acres on the east side of North Second Avenue, overlooking the remaining property, a portion of which currently contains the KOA campgrounds. Proposed changes include designating the 3-acre property as Residential Low and the remaining 67 acres as Open Space Recreation. In addition, a Community Park is proposed for a portion of the 67-acre property to help serve existing and future residential in the Northwest portion of the City. h. Harbor Drive-in Property This property proposed for change involves approximately 11 acres located on the north side of State Route 54, just east of National City Blvd, and adjacent to the boundary with National City. The property is currently designated as Limited Industrial and was the site of the former Harbor Drive-in Theater. The proposed change would be to Mixed Use Commercial, which would be, consistent with existing commercial along National City Boulevard. 3. City Council Requested Option- As presented in Section LC of this report, on November 1, 2005, the City Council directed staff to include an option for consideration that would clarify design considerations for Transit Focus Areas in the Northwest Planning Area, and would limit building heights to mid-rise in the TFA at H Street and Third Ave. That option language is presented in Attachment 1, and recommended for adoption. B. Southwest Area The Southwest Planning Area consists of approximately 5,750-acres located south of L Street, west of Interstate 805. The Southwest Planning Area is divided into the Montgomery and Castle Park Subareas; however, changes are only proposed within the Montgomery Subarea. Like the Northwest Planning Area, the Draft GPU contains policies for the protection of stable neighborhoods throughout the Southwest Subarea. 1. Area-wide Proposals Several Southwest Planning Area-wide proposals have been identified throughout the General Plan Update process and have been responded to in the Draft GPu. The following is a brief synopsis of these area-wide proposals. a. Protection of Neighborhoods The policies proposed in Chapter 5, Land Use and Transportation Element, LUT 8.31 Residential Neighborhoods, are intended to maintain and improve several stable residential neighborhoods or enclaves, including but not limited to Harborside, Castle 10-23 Page 24, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Park, Otay Town, Broderick Acres, Woodlawn Park and Whittington Subdivision. Neighborhood revitalization programs, zoning standards that address appropriate transitions and/or buffers, the provision of transportation options, and the provision of nearby local retail and other services. b. Mobility The policies proposed in Chapter 5, LUT 8.3.4 Mobility, are intended to provide for a variety of modes of transportation, including: 1) an east-west rapid transit line; 2) establishment of a north-south shuttle system; and, 3) establishment of significant trails or pedestrian pathways. c. Parks and Recreation The GPU proposes policies to address both the'provision of new local parks, and the continued creation of the Otay Valley Regional Park. Chapter 5, LUT 8.3.5 and Chapter 8, Public Facilities and Services Element, PFS 3.5 Parks and Recreation contain policies that call for increasing park and recreation facilities within the Southwest Planning Area, as well as the provision of active park nodes along the Otay River. d. Open Space Conservation Through implementation of the City's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Plan; respecting the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge within the South San Diego Bay (see policies contained in Chapter 9, Environmental Element); and controlled public access and protection of open space through efforts of the Otay Valley Regional Park (see policies contained in Chapter 8, Public Facilities, PFS 3.5 Parks and Recreation), sensitive plant and animal species will be protected and enjoyed for generations to come. 2. District-Level Land Use Proposals . The Montgomery Subarea consists of five districts proposed for change in the Draft GPU; the South Third Avenue, South Broadway, Palomar Gateway, Main Street and West Fairfield Districts. General Plan Update proposals for each of these subareas are discussed below. A description of the vision for these districts/areas and a profile of the proposed General Plan land use changes are included in Attachment 7. Included in each district/area description is a comparison of the adopted land uses and acreage to the proposed changes, followed by a profile stating the purpose of the changes. Please see Section VI of this report for a description of other land use Scenarios (1 through 3) considered in developing the Preferred Alternative for the Southwest Planning Area. a. South Third Avenue District The Draft GPU provides for the increase of housing in a mixed use arrangement with retail and offices along both sides of Third Avenue, between Naples Street and Palomar Street, within the South Third Avenue District. This segment of Third Avenue, containing nearby public uses (post office, neighborhood park, 10-24 Page 25, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 etc.), is intended to redevelop as a pedestrian-oriented Town Focus Area for the Southwest Planning Area. b. South Broadway District Also proposed for an increase of housing mixed with commercial to increase vitality and local services, is the South Broadway District, rrom L Street to Naples Street. South of Naples Street, Broadway is planned for commercial and auto- serving uses. c. Palomar Gateway District The Palomar Gateway District, located at the primary gateway into the City rrom Interstate 5 at Palomar Street, is the focus of increased housing with a mix of commercial services in a transit focus area near the Palomar Street Trolley. Additional housing is provided for in the neighborhood south of the focus area. d. West Fairfield District On the west side of Interstate 5, south of Palomar Street, is the West Fairfield District. The West Fairfield District is proposed to be redeveloped with a mix of commercial uses with good rreeway access from Palomar Street and Main Street. The district includes the expansion of developable land through the future reclamation of an existing settlement pond. An option provided for in the Draft GPU includes the establishment of an education facility for the district. e. Main Street District The Main Street District includes both sides of the Main Street corridor, extending south to the Otay River. The Draft GPU proposes to reinforce the industrial land uses on both sides of Main Street, through expanding the depth for uses on the north side and establishing a balance between redevelopment and open space restoration along the Otay River Valley through master planning. 3. Options Proposed By Others In addition to the options proposed for the South Broadway and South Third Avenue areas presented in Section II.E of this report, staff is aware of two other private inquiries and potential requests for the consideration of GPU Options other than the Preferred Alternative. These are briefly outlined below and discussed more fully in Attachment 8. Neither of the following two potential requests has been addressed in the CEQA findings for the Final EIR, and would therefore not be able to be acted upon by the Planning Commission or City Council through the Resolutions presented with this report. Any desire of the Planning Commission or City Council to further entertain either of these inquiries would require further evaluation and documentation, and would need such direction to staff from the Commission and/or CounciL a. West Fairfield (Charles Companv)- The Charles Company has approached the City on several occasions regarding their desire and efforts to acquire the land 10-25 /A Page 26, Item No.: IV Meeting Date: 12/13/05 within West Fairfield, and to design a comprehensive mixed use development proposal. They have shared preliminary concept alternatives with staff, and received our initial feedback. While they have indicated potential interest in developing Mixed Commercial (retail/office) consistent with the Preferred Alternative, they have also expressed desire to potentially include residential uses which would not be consistent, and would require consideration of GPU Option I, which evaluated a Mixed Use Residential designation. Staffremains supportive of the Preferred Alternative. If a more refined proposal (which includes control of the land) were to come forward for analysis, an associated potential General Plan Amendment could be considered at that time. b. Main StreetlBever Blvd. !Nelson Trust)- Several prospective buyers have approached the Nelson Trust regarding potential acquisition and redevelopment of the Trust's properties near the southwest corner of Main St. and Beyer Blvd. Approximately half of the property is currently leased to Hansen Aggregates who operates construction materials (sand/rock) and truck maintenance businesses there. Staff has spoken with representatives from the Trust and prospective buyers about the site and the GPU's proposals. The Preferred Alternative, which staff continues to support, designates about half the property as Limited Industrial and half as Open Space and a prospective Community Park site in concert with the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan. The Trust may desire to expand the Limited Industrial to include the majority of the property, as was considered among the GPU Options. C. East Area The East Area Plan is composed of six subareas located east of Interstate 805 as depicted on Figure 5 in Attachment 8. The six subareas include: Master Planned Communities; East Main Street; Unincorporated Sweetwater; Unincorporated East Otay Ranch; Other Miscellaneous; and Otay Ranch. Only minor changes are proposed for five of the six subareas which are summarized below. The more significant proposed amendments occur within the undeveloped portions of the Otay Ranch Subarea, and are also summarized below. An expanded discussion of the GPU proposals for the Otay Ranch Subarea is provided in Attachment 8, and includes area-wide planning proposals as well as specific district-by-district proposals. References to the applicable sections and chapters within the proposed General Plan Text are provided at the end of each Subarea or District discussion. 1. Overview of East Subarea Proposals- a. Master Planned Communities Policies in the General Plan Update call for maintaining these communities east of Interstate 805 that have been approved and constructed in accordance with adopted general development plans and or sectional planning area plans, and that . 10-26 Page 27, Item No.: /e Meeting Date: 12/13/05 adopted plans continue to guide the completion of development activities in these communities. (Please refer to Chapter 5, Section LUT 10.4.3). b. East Main Street Policies within the GPU give directi(Jn to maintain existing, stable neighborhoods; expand resident-serving commercial activities; preserve sensitive resources and open space lands; support recreational uses in the area; and phase out the auto wrecking yards by expediting relocation processes. One land use change is proposed. (Please refer to Chapter 5, Section 10.4.4.) c. Unincorporated Sweetwater Policies are intended to preserve the subarea's current characteristics (stable, well-maintained single-family neighborhoods with supporting retail commercial and open space) and to encourage close cooperation with the County and the Sweetwater Community Planning Group. One land use change is proposed. (Please refer to Chapter 5, Section 10.4.1.) d. Unincorporated East Otay Ranch Located entirely within the unincorporated County of San Diego and included within the County's Otay Subregional Plan, its rugged topography, important biological habitat, and scenic resource value are reflected in GPU policies that maintain lower intensity development with significant portions of the area preserved as open space. Direction is also provided to evaluate areas for annexation that require City services (the area currently lacks urban-level services). (Please refer to Chapter 5, Section 10.4.2.) e. Other Miscellaneous Areas There are several other areas within the East Planning Area, composed predominately of residential neighborhoods having developed at various times and with varying housing stock. GPU policies are intended to maintain these stable neighborhoods, directing that policies and regulations within the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance continue to guide development activities. (please refer to Chapter 5, Section 10.4.5.) f. Otay Ranch Areawide Proposals- Land use designations and policies are proposed to the four Districts in the Subarea with the intent of maintaining and enhancing a balanced and sustainable community that provides for the employment, social, and recreational needs of its residents. To improve the jobs-housing balance, additional land is designated for high-tech industrial and commercial employment, and higher residential densities provide for a greater variety of housing stock. Two new higher density, high intensity mixed use Town Centers are proposed that provide for additional 10-27 Page 28, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 . housing units that are pedestrian friendly and less dependent on automobiles. Policies are proposed that place an emphasis on the creation of a university with land use designations to provide for the additional housing, transportation, and commercial and research facilities to support it. Policies intended to enhance and encourage successful development of the Eastern Urban Center are proposed, as are policies to strengthen the preservation of large areas of natural open space as part of the MSCP's managed preserve system. (please refer to Chapter 5, LUT Section 10.4.6 ) A comprehensive amendment to the Otay Ranch GDP is proposed concurrently with the GPU so that it reflects and maintains consistency with the land uses and policies in the General Plan. The amendment includes adjustments to the Otay Ranch Preserve boundaries in the Resource Management Plan to make the Preserve boundaries consistent with the MSCP boundaries along Salt Creek and the Otay Valley. Many of these proposed changes are an extension of, or improvement upon, land development concepts previously introduced to the Otay Ranch as further discussed in Attachment 8. District-level Land Use Proposals- There are four districts in the Otay Ranch Subarea as shown on Figure 6 of Attachment 8. A brief summary of proposals for each are listed below, with more detailed descriptions in Attachment 8. a. Western District West end of Otay Ranch Subarea, composed of Villages Two, Two West, and Three, and Planning 18 B of the Otay Ranch GDP. Major proposals are intended to maintain adequate land use buffers for residential uses from the Otay Landfill by retaining lands designated Limited Industrial within the buffer; preserve major landforms and natural open space in and adjacent to Wolf Canyon and make development consistent with MSCP mapping and policies; develop a more intensely developed, pedestrian-friendly village and mixed use village core; and make public transportation more accessible to the Village. b. Central District Villages 4 and 7, and the westerly portion of Village 8. Proposals are intended to establish a pedestrian-friendly, higher-density mixed use town center generally centered on the intersection of Rock Mountain and La Media Roads, and served by the new Town Center Arterial roadway and efficient public transit service provided by BRT. c. Eastern District Five separate focus areas, located along the future SR 125 corridor that includes: the Eastern Urban Center (planning Area 12), the eastern portion of Village 8, 10-28 Page 29, Item No.: /0 Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Village 9, and the area currently shown as Village 10 (to be renamed University Campus). The changes proposed for this District are intended to provide for an intensively-developed urban core for the east Chula Vista, the EUC; retain lands designated for a university of higher learning while including new, specific policies intended to promote its development; provide for a higher density, pedestrian-oriented mixed-use town center; and increase land area designated for high-tech manufacturing and research. d. Otay Valley District Three parcels located along the Otay Valley in the southern portion of the Otay Ranch Subarea. Because these parcels are situated within and separated by open space lands, the planning proposal provides for land use and policies emphasizing protection of adjacent open space and sensitive resources and compatible, non- intrusive land uses. V. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE SCENARIOS EVALUATED Three initial "scenarios" (1-3) were prepared and evaluated during the GPU process, and were used as a basis for developing the Preferred Alternative with the Steering Committee. These Scenarios are also presented and analyzed in the GPU EIR. Attachment 8 includes a description of each Scenario at the planning District-level within the Northwest, Southwest and East Planning Areas, and how each of the Scenarios analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report differs from the Preferred Alternative, and what the implications might be of choosing among these Scenarios. VI. CONCLUSION AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS Should the Planning Commission recommend and City Council approve the GPU and Otay Ranch GDP actions as proposed, staff would then finalize the GPU and GDP documents by merging the various respective edit documents and erratas into complete GPU and GDP texts for publication. Given the extent and complexity of the documents, it is possible that some minor, non-substantive grammatical errors and/or nuances will need to be corrected by staff. Staff does not intend to return to the Planning Commission or City Council on such minor corrections, but can provide a communication regarding the extent of any such edits when the final, published GPU and GDP texts are distributed. It should also be noted that if the City Council elects to significantly deviate from the proposed Preferred Plan (or the staff recommended alternatives and edits), it is possible that additional analysis and environmental review may be required that would necessitate a continuance of the public hearings. In addition to finalizing and publication of documents, staff will also prepare a GPU Implementation Program which will be returned to the City Council for action within 120 of approval of the GPu. One of the major aspects of that Program will be the Zoning Code Update, 10-29 Page 30, Item No.: IV Meeting Date: 12/13/05 and any other rezoning or Specific Plan efforts that will be needed to bring zoning into conformance with the adopted GPU. FISCAL IMPACT A Fiscal Impact Analysis was prepared in conjunction with the General Plan Update (GPU) to: . Formulate an appropriate fiscal modeling methodology for the GPU process; . Analyze the fiscal impact of incremental growth under the adopted General Plan; . Analyze the fiscal impacts of proposed General Plan Update alternatives; . Analyze the net fiscal impact of the preferred General Plan Update alternative; and . Perform a risk analysis to identify the most important variables and probable ranges of outcomes. Economics Research Associates (ERA) worked with Budget and Analysis and the Planning and Building Department, along with other City departments, to develop expenditure and revenue information. The Chula Vista Planning Area was divided into 8 fiscal analysis zones (FAZs), including one outside of existing City boundaries encompassing the area around Village 13 of Otay Ranch. . The GPU fiscal analysis considers the balance between revenues and expenditures at the GPU horizon year of 2030. As presented in the FlA report, the net annual incremental fiscal impacts at General Plan buildout are projected to be positive for the General Plan Update Preferred Alternative, both for the area within the current city boundaries, and with future annexation of the Village 13 area of Otay Ranch. The net annual incremental revenue is forecast to exceed costs by over $4.5 million per year for the current city area, and by more than $6 million per year when including the Village 13 area. The model can also be updated to use in future applications and project evaluations. The Fiscal Impact Analysis Executive Summary is contained in Attachment 10. . The major initiatives to carry out the General Plan Update will be further detailed in an implementation program to be presented to the City Council within 120 days of adoption of this update and will include additional information regarding potential fiscal and budget impacts. Individual work items brought to the City Council, such as the Zoning Code Update, will also contain more specific fiscal impact information. Attachments . 1. 2. 3.

The evolvlna urban desian and form of Chula Vista are considered to be key to this Citv's communitv character and imaae. and should be addresSed carefullv. As noted in~rticular under Theme 8 - "Shaplno the Future throuah the Present and Past". such chal\ae and evolution must be accomplished in a manner that complements Chuta Vista's heritaoe and uniaue sense of place.

As shown on Fioure 5-17A. this General Plan identifies four. limited locations where urban develoDment intensities and taller buildino forms wouid be most aDDroDriate. These include the three transit focus areas in Urban Core of westem Chula Vista: two around the existinc E Street and H Street trolley stations. and the third around the future station on H Street near Third Avenue. The fourth area is the Eastern Urban Center in OIay Ranch which has been Dianned for urban develoDment since the Otay Ranch Generai DeveloDment Plan was aDProved in 1993, Also deoicted on Fioure 5-17A is the H Street Transit Corridor Special Study Area. The puroose of this special study is to analvze and evaluate the aporopriateness of plan chances that could result in mixed land uses. increased intensities. and potential hioh-rise buildinas alona H Street between Interstate 5 and +Rif4-Fourth Avenue. An Imoortant consideration of the study is that the area is a maior activity corridor. and functions as the primarv entrv into the urban~re.

Entertainment and cultural arts are housed in new and renovated buildings, offering both day and evening a~vities. The streets are bustling with shoppers and people enjoying outdoor dining or heading to entertainment venues. A grade-separated trolley line at E and H Streets has improved the flow of east-west traffic, while a local shuttle provides frequent service between Urban Core Subarea activity centers. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line allows residents in the East Planning Area convenient access to the Urban Core Subarea. F Street is a pedestrian-oriented promenade that links Third Avenue, the Civic Center, Broadway, the E Street transit center, and the Bayfront Planning Area with themed landscaping and public art.

Phase I - Program & Budget and Initial Community Outreach A multi-departmental General Plan Update (GPU) Team was created to spearhead the City's GPU effort and develop a work program and budget, along with determining where consultant assistance was needed. In contrast to the prior General Plan Update, which relied mainly on consultants, the current update afforded staff the primary role, and placed greater emphasis on a publicly driven process. An initial Town Hall meeting and Community Festival was held in April 2002, and an innovative "Visioneering" program followed that engaged citizen volunteers to assist in gathering public input. This phase concluded with establishment of four citizen committees. Product: Chula Vista General Plan Update Community Festival Event Summary, April 27, 2002 . Phase II - Issues, Vision & Goals, and Background Studies The initial public outreach efforts provided the basis for identifying key issues to be addressed in the General Plan Update, and for work with the citizen committees and the general public to identify the plan's overall vision and goals. A Draft Vision and Goals Report was a critical product of this phase of work. Throughout the process, City representatives also attended community events, made presentations to civic and professional organizations and a variety of interest and stakeholder groups to provide information and obtain feedback. A series of background studies was undertaken to complement the ideas and preferences expressed through public outreach efforts, and provide a factual and analytical basis for developing and evaluating different General Plan options. These included an Economic Development Strategy, a South Bay Transit First Study, and a host of other technical studies. (Note: The numerous areawide studies were completed at different stages in the overall process.) Products: Preliminary Issues Report, November 2002 Draft Vision and Goals Report, May 2003 Town Hall II Summary Report, August 2003 General Plan Update Staff Report Attachment 2 10-44 Page I of9 . . Phase III - Draft Plan Alternatives and Policy Development . Land use and transportation teams worked with the General Plan Update Steering Committee to develop a range of conceptual planning proposals for further analysis and public review. The land use concepts were refined and formatted into citywide land use alternatives. Recognizing that many areas of Chula Vista are stable commwrities, focused "opportwrity areas" were identified where future changes are most likely and appropriate. These were organized by major geographic sectors of the City's General Plan Area: Northwest, Southwest and East/Otay Ranch. (No changes were proposed in the Chula Vista Bayfront, anticipating that the joint Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan process under way would result in a proposed General Plan Amendment at the time of its adoption. These efforts were, however, coordinated among staff, advisory committees and governing bodies involved in the respective plans.) Through testing and public review of the alternatives, a preferred land use and transportation alternative was identified. Policy objectives developed on the wide array of topics addressed in the General Plan Update were grouped into subject areas that became the foundation for draft General Plan elements, and were reviewed with the respective citizen committees and other directly affected or interested parties. Products: Newsletter for General Plan Workshops, November 2003 Town Hall III Summary Report, January 2004 GPU Steering Committee June 21, 2004 Public Meeting Package · Phase IV - Documents, Public Hearings and Plan Adoption The Draft General Plan Update, supporting documents and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) were released for public review on December 31, 2004. In early March 2005, the City paused the General Plan Update process to extend opportwrities for obtaining public input, and to address the comments received.

I. OVERVIEW OF MAJOR PLANNING PROPOSALS A. Land Use The City's General Plan encompasses 58,422 acres. The General Plan Update leaves the land use designations for 53,096 acres of this area unaffected, and proposed land use changes on only 5,268 acres, or less than 10 percent of the planning area. Land use changes proposed by the General Plan Update are restricted to limited areas within three planning areas: Northwest, Southwest, and East. However, several of the objectives and policies presented by the General Plan Update apply broadly to the General Plan area. In the Northwest, the Preferred Plan generally modifies designated land uses within the Northwest Planning Area to allow for an increase of mixed use development. Specifically, this scenario would introduce increased residential in areas currently restricted to retail use in certain areas, and increased residential and transit-oriented uses in the vicinity of major transit corridors. It would also increase the amount of dwelling units within the Urban Core at build-out from 9,499 to 16,756. This represents an increase in multi-family units within the urban core and a reduction in the amount of single-family homes at build-out. The Southwest Preferred Plan has one subarea for which changes are proposed as part of the General Plan Update, the Montgomery Subarea. The intention is to focus redevelopment efforts generally south of L Street along the South Broadway, South Third Avenue, and Main Street corridors, and on either side of \-5 in the vicinity of the Palomar Street Trolley and the West Fairfield area. Among the important goals for this area is facilitation of economic opportunities through appropriate designation of transit-oriented, industrial, commercial and higher-density residential in mixed use or other appropriate density to facilitate smart growth planning. Proposed revisions to the City's adopted land use plan in the East Planning Area would result in adjustments to the boundaries and overall densities for residential, commercial, industrial, and public/quasi-public uses. The amount and location of open space and parklands would also be adjusted. In the Ctay Ranch Subarea, amendments are proposed to the Ctay Ranch General Development Plan, which are consistent with the proposed General Plan Update. These proposed General Development Plan amendments consist of revisions to the General Development Plan text and to the General Development Plan land use maps and tables. The acreage designated by the Preferred Plan for residential, industrial, and commercial land use is increased over existing conditions. The proposed General Plan Update would establish a new Town Center (TC) land use designation that allows for higher density housing, office, retail and 10-76 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . other commercial development than allowed in traditional village cores in Villages 8 and 9 (Central and Eastern University Districts respectively) within the Otay Ranch Subarea. The Otay Ranch Subarea has four planning districts: Western District, Central District, Eastern University District, and Otay Valley District. The primary changes proposed are: Western District: Industrial land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill. This eliminates the option for residential uses in place of industrial uses within Village Three form the Otay Ranch GDP . Central District: A mixture of land uses and intensities that includes a large community park, a pedestrian-oriented mixed use town center; single-family and multi-family residential uses surrounding a typical village core; and a middle school. The alignment of Rock Mountain Road is being revised and the extension of Main Street is being eliminated. This is to minimize road construction to MSCP Preserve land in Otay Valley and limit the environmental effects of the road in Wolf Canyon. Otay Valley District: Open Space-Active Recreation, Light Industrial, and Open Space uses within the Otay Valley District. Would re-designate approximately 209 acres from Open Space to Active Recreation in accordance with the adopted Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP). Eastern University District: Designates approximately 530 acres as public and quasi-public for a university campus anQ deletes secondary land use underlying the current university designation (residential alternative) from the Otay Ranch General Development Plan that could otherwise potentially be developed. This represents a reduction in the area specifically designated for the university from the 1,270 acres under the current General Plan. Designates the area surrounding the campus as a new Town Center, which would establish a university-oriented town center of transit serving mixed use and medium-high residential densities. Therefore, the secondary residential land use is effectively removed and the Town Center is being established. B. Transportation 1. Proposed Changes to the Adopted Circulation Element (see Attachment 9): . Removal of Main Street from Heritage Road to La Media Road: this segment has been removed due to the presence of a Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHP A) of the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP). . Realignment and reclassification of Rock Mountain Road to connect to Main Street Road at Heritage Road: this segment is designed and sized to replace the removal of Main Street between Heritage Road and La Media Road in order to accommodate east/west travel in the southeastern portion of the City. It was classified as a four-lane Class I Collector in the adopted General Plan, but will now be reclassified as a six-lane Prime Arterial from Heritage Road to SR-125. This will increase its LOS C volume from 22,000 to 50,000 ADT. 10-77 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 2 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative 2. . Removal of Alta Road south and east of Eastlake Parkway: this segment has been removed to be consistent with the County of San Diego's East Otay Mesa Specific Plan, which has removed the portion of the roadway in the unincorporated area. Reduction of travel lanes on H Street between Broadway and Hilltop Drive from six to four: this change is necessitated by existing land use patterns along this roadway, which preclude widening without significant property acquisition for right-of-way. Removal of Palomar StreetJI-805 interchange: this interchange would be located beneath a high voltage power line. The Public Utilities Commission restricts the operation of traffic signals underneath high power lines. Removal of the Woodlawn A venue connection between F and G Streets: this removal accounts for the construction of buildings in the path of this roadway between F and G Streets. Reduction of travel lanes on Otay Lakes Road, from Bonita Road to East H Street, from six to four: this reduction is necessary due to the engineering and environmental considerations. Also, forecast volumes do not warrant six lanes on this segment SR-125 is expected to attract volumes from parallel north/south roadways, such as Otay Lakes Road. Removal of the Blacksmith Road connection to Proctor Valley Road: this roadway extension would bisect an existing Caltrans open space mitigation area that is to be held in perpetuity. . . . . . New Roadway Classifications Proposed Within the Urban Core and its Immediate Environs Gatewav Street - These roadways (segments of Broadway, Fourth Avenue, E Street, H Street, I Street, and L Street) connect the Urban Core to SR-54, 1- 805 and 1-5. These facilities are analogous to six- or four-lane major roads in other parts of the City, but will provide special design features and amenities to encourage access for the full spectrum of travel modes. These streets will be the major entry points to and from the Urban Core, and special landscape and entry treatments will be incorporated into the design. Urban Arterial - These roads include portions of E Street, H Street, and Fourth Avenue. In terms of cross section, urban arterials are similar to four-lane major roads in other areas of Chula Vista, but with special features to support multi-modal trip-making, such as wider sidewalks, transit station curb "bulb outs", and pedestrian amenities. Commercial Bonlevard - These streets include segments of Broadway (south of C Street and north of L Street) and Third Avenue (north of E Street and South of H Street) and will serve existing and future shopping districts. Design will be generally consistent with four-lane majors in other areas, but with special design features reflecting the multi-modal nature of streets in more urban areas. Downtown Promenade - These roads (including portions of F Street and Third Avenue) will provide access to retail establishments in the heart of the Urban Core. Street cross section will be similar to a two-lane or four-lane collector, but with multi-modal features and amenities that accommodate the surrounding urban context. 10-78 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 3 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning .Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative In addition to the above-listed new street classifications in the Urban Core, the following new classification will be implemented in the East Planning Area: Town Center Arterial - The Town Center Arterial is intended for use primarily in the East Planning Area's Otay Ranch Subarea. The Town Center Arterial provides a pair of one-way streets in order to ensure a more efficient traffic flow by eliminating wide arterials, with their inherent long signal cycle lengths and segregated left turn lanes at major intersections, and it creates a more energized mixed use pedestrian-oriented community within an enlarged urban transit network. 3. Establishment of a Citywide Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Network The South Bay Transit First-Tier One Plan was prepared by SANDAG (formerly the Metropolitan Transit Development Board) in May 2003. The Transit First concept (also described as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)), involves the implementation of enhanced transit service strategies designed to improve the attractiveness and viability of transit to capture trips that typically travel by single-occupancy passenger cars. The overall intent is to use improved buses that emulate rail service by increasing vehicle speeds and rider comfort and convenience. Vehicle speeds are increased by having fewer station stops along a route and by using various traffic engineering methods (such as traffic signal priority and queue jumper lanes) to assign priority to a transit vehicle in the traffic stream. The South Bay Transit First study provides a feasibility analysis of alternative The Regional Transit Vision calls for a network of fast, flexible, reliable, and convenient transit services that connect where people live with where they work, and other major activity centers. By using market research and analyzing people's travel patterns, four service concepts have been identified to address varying needs. Together, these different service concepts make up a comprehensive system that complements and supports existing and planned land uses along with other ways people traveL Yellow car and red car services form the backbone of the regional transit system, providing rapid and relatively frequent service. The Coaster commuter rail system is an example of yellow car service, while the San Diego Trolley is an example of red car service. Blue car services are essentially the local bus network, while green car services are local shuttles that connect activity centers and the backbone transit network. These service concepts and their characteristics are summarized in the table below: GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 4 of 41 10-79 . STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative TRANSIT SERVICE CONCEPTS Blue Car Service Short Trips lower Red Car Service Medium Trips Yellow Car Service Long Trips C. Environmental The primary goal of the Enviromnental Element is to promote sustainable development, a means of balancing growth and economic progress with the protection of natural resources and the enviromnent in a socially responsible manner. The topic areas below address the components of the Enviromnental Element (which combines the conservation, open space, safety, and noise elements into one) that are intended to achieve this goal. Conservation - Policies address biological conservation, as well as energy, water and mineral resources. Open Space - Four open space land use designations are proposed, including Open Space, Open Space Preserve, Open Space Active Recreation, and Parks and Recreation. Policies call for landscape promenades, paseos, and other urban trails/paths that connect community features or activity areas. Environmental Justice - Policies that deal with equitable distribution of public facilities; avoidance of over concentration of industrial uses; and transit oriented development to avoid disproportionate impacts to lower income and minority populations as a result of the planning process. MSCP Subarea Plan - Adopted by the City in 2003, it has been incorporated into the Enviromnental Element. Several GPU amendments are proposed to the land use map and the Otay Ranch RMP in order to make them consistent with the adopted Subarea Plan. Water Oualitv - Policies will ensure protection of water quality and consistency with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Others encourage continued participation by the City in regional watershed planning for both the San Diego Bay Watershed and the Sweetwater River Watershed. Water Supplv - Policies promote water efficient communities and conservation programs and enhance City's existing water conservation program for new development that encompasses education and construction techniques for water conservation. Mineral Resources - Addresses the requirements of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) to have policies in a General Plan that allow for the extraction of the resource and the identification of areas of local significant resources. Other policies ensure that the activity is in conformance with the MSCP Subarea Plan and other plans regarding restoration of biological habitats and the creation of trails and parkland. 10-80 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 5 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . Air Ouality - Policies encouraging walkable communities, increased transit, siting of new sensitive receivers in relationship to highways, and responsible siting of new or re-powered energy generators. Ener!!V Conservation - Policies recognizing the City's Energy Strategy and Action Plan for decreased dependence on non-renewable energy sources and increased energy conservation programs, promoting energy efficient construction, alternative electricity sources, and the use of non-fossil fuel. Solid Waste Disposal- Policies expanding on Chula Vista's existing programs that promote recycling, proper disposal of household hazardous waste and composting to reduce solid waste disposal. Cultural Resources - Policies that discourage the disruption, demolition and other negative impacts to historic cultural and paleontological resources. Ecotourism - Policies encouraging collaboration with other jurisdictions and agencies to explore future possibilities for ecotourism. Natural Hazards - Policies for risk reduction strategies associated with natural hazards related to geology, flooding, wildland fues and hazardous materials and waste. D. Growth Management Chula Vista's growth management program has been an effective tool in managing growth in the city since 1987. The General Plan Update builds on this success and recommends additional features that improve the flexibility of the program to address changing circumstances and expands policy language to allow additional management tools to be at the City's discretion. Therefore, the basic structure of the growth management element remains intact. Additional features have been incorporated. Urban infill, redevelopment, and revitalization were not significant growth factors in 1987. Hence the development of the original growth management element was focused on greenfield suburban style features. With an increased emphasis on the western portion of the city there is the need to reevaluate the growth management thresholds to insure that those thresholds provide an adequate level of facilities and services, that their provision is timed appropriately, that financing methods are identified, and that they support growth objectives and do not instead stymie efforts to improve the overall quality of life. The General Plan Update provides that both thresholds and financing methods be tailored to achieve these objectives in western Chula Vista and other urbanizing areas. A common growth management tool used around the country is to regulate the rate of growth when that growth is deemed to be detrimental to the community's quality oflife, public health, safety or welfare. Chula Vista does not currently possess this mechanism. The General Plan Update recognizes this deficiency and incorporates language that allows for the creation of an ordinance that will establish the ability by the City Council to impose a growth rate cap or other metering mechanism should they determine that the rate of growth is creating community problems. 10-81 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 6 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative E. Public Facilities and Services Water - Water facilities and services will be impacted by the General Plan Update. There will be greater densities allowed that will correspond to increased water demands and the need to upgrade infrastructure to support this demand. The water districts have created capital improvement programs that are based on the City's current General Plan. With the adoption of the General Plan Update those plans will require adjustments. The plan contains policy language that directs City staff to continue our close working relationships with the districts to insure that water availability and infrastructure are adequate to meet the future needs as the City continues to grow. The City utilizes both imported and a combination of surface and ground water resources. The supply of imported water is provided through the County Water Authority (CW A). The City works closely with the water districts and the CW A to assure long term supply. Continued efforts at water conservation and use of recycled water is addressed in the General Plan Update. Sewer - The primary trunk lines of the City's sewer facilities are adequate to accommodate the increased growth presented by the General Plan Update. However, individual site-by-site assessments will be required to determine adequacy for how specific projects may be able to connect to the sewer system. This assessment will occur through the entitlement process. The current General Plan already allows for growth that exceeds the City's sewer treatment allocation from the San Diego Metropolitan (Metro) Sewage System. There is sufficient sewage treatment capacity in the Metro system available for purchase. Negotiations are already underway to acquire this added capacity. The General Plan Update provides a context whereby sewer demands can be estimated and appropriate hook-up fees levied to finance the purchase of the capacity required. Drainae:e - Although the General Plan Update does result in density increases it does not result in a significant increase in impervious surface area. In example, a two story building may cover the same amount of land as a seven story building, so that while density increases the resultant drainage consideration is the same. With redevelopment, sites will be required to upgrade their drainage systems to current standards. Regardless of the General Plan Update the City is subject to the City of Chula Vista Grading Ordinance, the Subdivision Manual, Strom Water Management Standards Requirements Manual, and "best management practices" (BMP) requirements for construction sites. Chula Vista is also part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Law Enforcement - The new Policy Department facility will provide capacity to support future growth. Additional officers, staff, and equipment will be added incrementally as the city grows and need is evaluated. Fire Protection - The Fire Department station network is expanding concurrently with growth as are commensurate staff and equipment. The General Plan Updates supports the continued implementation of the existing or updated Fire Station Master Plan, which identifies station and equipment requirements. Schools - Although the provision of school facilities and services is the responsibility of the respective school districts, there has been increased cooperation between the city and the districts to assure that schools are constructed in a timely fashion. To facilitate this the General Plan Update has identified the number of schools that may be needed to accommodate growth. These schools are provided general locations in new development areas. The possible location for 10-82 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 7 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative additional schools to be located in developed areas of the city is referenced but locations are not approximated. If a new school is needed in an already developed area, specifically western Chula Vista, it will be the school districts discretion to select a site. While being the last resort, such an action may require the condemnation of private property. Placing even an approximate location of where a new school may be needed could create the appearance that specific homes are in immediate jeopardy. Libraries - The current Chula Vista Public Library Master Plan provides for additional library facilities to adequately service the buildout population of the General Plan Update. In addition, the General Plan Update calls for the update of the Chula Vista Public Library Facilities Master Plan within the next five to eight years to insure that the facilities and standards are up-to-date and applicable. Parks and Recreation - Allowed residential densities and intensity of development will increase as a result of the General Plan Update. As this increase is realized there will be a corresponding demand for recreation facilities and programs. The current city-wide standard for new development as expressed in the Park Development Ordinance is that there be the dedication and development of 3 acres of parkland for every additional 1,000 residents or the payment of in-lieu fees. As a practical matter meeting this standard will be different for eastern versus western Chula Vista. As the undeveloped areas within eastern Chula Vista become developed parks are identified and developed. With the expected increase in densities in western Chula Vista new park development will be constrained since vacant parcels to construct parks are not readily available. In acknowledgment of this the General Plan Update calls for the recognition of "urban parks" that may be different in character trom traditional recreation facilities. Art & Culture. Child Care and Health Services -A general plan is not required to include art, culture, child care and health services as an element of the plan. However, the City of Chula Vista has recognized that these services are vital to a healthy community. Supporting general plan policies are designed to insure that these services are sited to insure that these services are sited appropriately and that the activities are encourage by both the public and private sector. Civic Presence - The General Plan Update provides policy that maintains the City's facilities as convenient and promotes professionalism of the staff. Ener!!V - As Chula Vista growth it will need more power. This need will require that added energy related facilities be located within the city, specifically substations. The General Plan Update recognizes that these facilities are needed. Specific location will be provided in the Sectional Planning Area process. Solid Waste - The General Plan Update identifies that the City has contractual agreements and options to provide solid waste disposal services through the build-out year of 2030. F. Implementation The implementation chapter identifies implementation measures - actions, plans and programs _ associated with carrying out the direction of each of the General Plan Elements. These measures are designed to achieve and accomplish the goals, objectives and policies that will bring about the vision established for Chula Vista's future. In effect, the implementation measures serve as the critical link between the General Plan and tangible actions. At the end of the implementation chapter, there is an implementation table for each General Plan element. The tables, designed to be a reader's guide for those putting together work programs, cover all the policies of a particular 10-83 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 8 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative element and the implementation measures that need to be accomplished. A more detailed implementation and monitoring program, including schedules, funding sources, companion agencies and related General Plan policies will be prepared and maintained separately from the Chula Vista General Plan text. II. PROPOSED PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE The following sections provide an overview and summary of the proposed Preferred Alternative that is reflected on the proposed Land Use and Transportation Diagram, and in the text of the Draft GPU document; the Land Use and Transportation Element in particular. The discussion first provides an overview of key citywide themes and policy considerations that underlay and are reflected through the Preferred Alternative's overall land use and transportation proposals. This is followed by more specific discussion of the Preferred Alternative's proposals within each of the three major Planning Areas (Northwest, Southwest and East), and the planning Districts within each of those. It should be noted that these discussions are intended as a highlight to convey the main proposals and their general rationale, and that the text of the GPU and the DEIR contain a more expanded description and discussion. It should also be noted that the Preferred Alternative (inclusive of the errata edits in Attachment 1) reflects the Steering Committee's consensus. Staff has only two (2) instances where our recommendations vary from the Steering Committee. Those include the Freeway Commercial area along State Route 125 in Otay Ranch, and the old Gun Club site along Heritage Road across from Coors Amphitheatre. Those recommendations are presented with the applicable East Area District discussions beginoing on page 28 of this attachment, and the related, recommended GPU Map and text erratas are included in staff report Attachments 3A & 3B. There are also several other instances in which property owners or other parties may desire the approval of land use proposals contained among the alternatives evaluated as part of the GPU, but not reflected in the current Preferred Alternative. Four such instances exist in the Southwest Area, and three in the East Area. Each of those is addressed below in conjunction with the associated Area discussion under the heading of "options proposed by others". A. Citywide Context As presented earlier in this report, the outcomes of the substantial public comment and input generated eight Themes that were used to organize the GPU Vision & Goals, and provide a basis for the development of land use and other policy contained in the GPu. These Themes also aligned well with the City Council's five strategic themes, and a number of other existing local planning and policy efforts influencing the GPU, including: the Economic Development Strategy; Broadway Revitalization Strategy; MSCP; the City image campaign; Historic Preservation Strategic Plan; South Bay Transit First Study; and SANDAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. 10-84 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 9 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative With regard to the proposed land use and transportation proposals reflected in the Preferred Alternative (and related key policy direction presented in the GPU document), there are several guiding planning factors stemming from that input and information that tie together the various proposals in the individual Planning Areas and Districts. As such, they provide a citywide context to which the proposed Preferred Alternative collectively responds. Key factors and considerations can be summarized under two topic areas, as presented below: . Housin\!:- Access to affordable housing is a concern as prices continue to rise at rates that outpace income growth. The GPU can and does effectively respond in several ways; increasing housing capacity/supply to meet future demands, providing that supply through higher densities that can provide less costly for-sale units and rentals, placing that housing near to services, jobs and transit options, and acknowledging the need for housing to support the amount of local jobs in the retail service and trade sectors. Emplovment- Chula Vista suffers from jobs/housing imbalance, whereby there are generally not enough total jobs in proportion to local housing and job demand, and there are not enough higher-value jobs that provide income necessary for residents to reasonably afford an average priced home. The two outcomes of this are local households spending a large portion of their monthly income on housing costs, and/or excessive commuting (and related traffic congestion) seeking higher paying jobs elsewhere in the region. B. Northwest Area The Northwest Planning Area consists of approximately 4,000-acres and is generally bounded by State Route 54 on the north, Interstate 805 on the east, L Street on the south, and Interstate 5 on the west. Established early in Chula Vista's growth, the Northwest Planning Area has several well-established residential neighborhoods and a central commercial area referred to as the Urban Core. The Northwest Planning Area consists of several subareas (see Figure 1), including: the Urban Core Subarea, where the majority of changes are proposed in the GPU; the Lower Sweetwater Subarea, where modifications of the largely vacant property, including the KOA campgrounds and the old Harbor Drive-in property are proposed, and; the Hilltop Subarea, where no changes are proposed but rather policies intended to protect this area are included. 1. Area-wide Proposals Several Northwest Planning Area-wide proposals have been identified throughout the General Plan Update process and have been responded to in the Draft GPu. The following is a brief synopsis of these area-wide proposals. a. Transit and Transit Focus Areas In the pending GPU, there are four areas with in the City that are proposed for the highest densities and intensities, and mix of land uses, given their location in proximity to existing and future transit stations, and their role as major activity areas. Four such areas are designated in the GPU, and include the Eastern Urban Center in Otay Ranch, and in Northwest ChuIa Vista, the three "transit focus areas"(TFAs) surrounding the existing 10-85 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 10 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative trolley stations at E Street/I-5 and H Street/I-5, and the future station area around H Street and Third Ave. Because of their role as activity nodes and entryways, the proposed GPU also provides that these areas would be the most appropriate areas in which to consider the use of the tallest building forms, largely to emphasize the areas' importance and provide visual landmarks. This was not to say that "high-rise" buildings would be allowed by right in these areas, or that high rises would necessarily be built, but rather that any consideration of them should occur only in these areas. b. Mobility Within the Northwest Planning Area the General Plan changes not only require that the land use pattern be modified to meet the goals of a balanced urban community, but the ability for people to move within the community involves the provision of a system of transportation elements, or a mobility system. With an emphasis on pedestrian-friendly streets and the encouragement of mixed uses and intensification that would result in shorter vehicular trips or the use of other modes of travel, the General Plan proposes changes that include a new classification of streets; a transit network connecting the Bayftont to the Urban Core, and to the East Planning Area; and a shuttle system and pedestrian connections between downtown and the Bayftont. c. Urban Design and Neighborhood Protection Within the Northwest Planning Area, the Urban Core is targeted for substantial change over time. Urban design considerations, such as building heights and massing, architectural style, public view corridors, circulation linkages, and the appearance of important gateways need to be addressed in order to balance needed urban-type revitalization and redevelopment in the area, while acknowledging and protecting stable neighborhood areas, and maintaining the overall sense of place that the community identifies with. The General Plan Update includes policies that address the issue of urban design and form, as well as community character and neighborhood protection. Please refer to Chapter 5 Land Use and Transportation Element, Sections 7.2, 7.5, 7.6, 9.4 and 9, for policies. d. Parks and Recreation Parks and recreation facilities for the Northwest Planning Area will. be needed to accommodate new residential growth. The nature and function of the park and recreation spaces in the Urban Core Subarea and overall Northwest Planning Area will reflect the needs of its residents. New residential development in the Northwest will be primarily apartments and condominiums in a more intense urban environment; therefore, it is anticipated that the size of any new parks in this area, and the type of amenities provided, will be appropriate to an urban environment and may be somewhat different than what is found in parks built in the East Planning Area's suburban master planned communities. 10-86 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 11 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative Please refer to Chapter 8 Public Facilities and Services Element, Section 3.5 Parks and Recreation, for policies. 2.

STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative 3. Options Proposed by Others After preparation of the Preferred Plan options have been presented to staff for further consideration that differ from the Preferred Plan. These options and considerations are discussed below. a. Third & H Street; H Street Corridor On November 1, 2005, the City Council directed staff to include an option for consideration that would clarify design considerations for Transit Focus Areas in Northwest Planning Area, and would limit building heights to mid-rise in the TFA at H Street and Third Ave. C. Southwest Area The Southwest Planning Area consists of approximately 5,750-acres and is generally bounded on the north by L Street, on the south by the Otay River, on the east by Interstate 805, and on the west by the San Diego Bay. The Southwest Planning Area is divided into the Montgomery and Castle Park Subareas (see Figure 3). Changes being considered in the General Plan are focused within the Montgomery Subarea, most of which was annexed into the City in 1985; however, as with the Northwest Planning Area, policies are proposed to address the protection of stable single family neighborhoods throughout all of the subareas, including Castle Park. 1. Area-wide Proposals Several Southwest Planning Area-wide proposals have been identified throughout the GPU process and have been responded to in the Draft GPu. The following is a brief synopsis of these area-wide proposals. a. Protection of Neighborhoods The Southwest Planning Area contains several stable residential neighborhoods or enclaves, identified as Harborside, Castle Park, Otay Town, Broderick Acres, Woodlawn Park and Whittington Subdivision. To maintain the stability of these neighborhoods it is important to protect them from the intrusion of incompatible land uses, traffic and noise. The policies proposed in Chapter 5 Land Use and Transportation Element, LUT 8.31 Residential Neighborhoods, are intended to maintain and improve these neighborhoods through: 1) neighborhood revitalization programs that minimize land use conflicts and provide upgrades to existing infrastructure; 2) zoning standards that address appropriate transitions and/or buffers that ensure domestic tranquility; 3) the provision of adequate and available transportation options for residents; and 4) the provision of nearby local retail and other services. . 10-93 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 18 of41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative b. Mobility Opportunities for people to move within and outside of the Southwest Planning Area in a convenient and timely manner are important to the revitalization and redevelopment of key areas within the area. The policies proposed in Chapter 5, LUT 8.3.4 Mobility, are intended to provide for a variety of modes of transportation, including: 1) an east-west rapid transit line connecting jobs, housing and shopping between the East and Southwest Planning Areas; 2) establishment of a north-south shuttle system providing connectivity between the Southwest Planning Area and the Urban Core; and, 3) establishment of significant trails or pedestrian pathways providing alternative modes of pedestrian movement. c. Parks and Recreation With additional housing being proposed within the Southwest Planning Area and a historic need for additional park and recreation facilities in the area, the GPU proposes policies to address both the provision of new local parks, and the continued creation of the Otay Valley Regional Park. Chapter 5, LUT 8.3.5 and Chapter 8, Public Facilities and Services Element, PFS 3.5 Parks and Recreation contains policies that call for increasing park and recreation facilities within the Southwest Planning Area, as well as the provision of active park nodes along the Otay River. d. Open Space Conservation The Southwest Planning Area is graced with significant blocks of natural open space, the South San Diego Bay wetlands and the Otay River Valley. Through implementation of the City's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Plan, respecting the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge within the South San Diego Bay (See policies contained in Chapter 9, Environmental Element), and controlled public access and protection of open space through effort of the Otay Valley Regional Park (See policies contained in Chapter 8, Public Facilities, PFS 3.5 Parks and Recreation), sensitive plant and animal species will be protected and enjoyed for generations to come. 2. District-Level Land Use Proposals The following districts and major property areas within the Southwest Planning Area (see Figure 4) are proposed for change. A description of the vision for these districts/areas and a profile of the proposed General Plan land use changes are also included. Included in each district/area description is a comparison of the adopted land uses and acreage to the proposed changes, followed by a profile stating the purpose of the changes.

Palomar Gateway District The Palomar Gateway District is envisioned to be the major southern gateway into the City and to function as one of the activity corridors in the City. The Palomar Gateway District has great potential to provide additional housing and support uses near a regional transit route. Adding higher density residential development within walking distance of the Palomar Trolley Station will provide additional affordable housing opportunities where few currently exist. Local retail and services will be provided along Palomar Street with the potential for more retail and services in mixed use developments south of Palomar Street. In addition to nearby community-serving retail uses on Broadway and Palomar Street, a new five-acre neighborhood park will be located in the area north of Oxford Street within walking distance of new residential housing.

West Fairfield District This district encompasses approximately 60-acres and includes the addition of approximately 35-acres from the City of San Diego. Redevelopment of the West Fairfield District is anticipated through master planning. There are few land use conflicts, and land uses have been expanded by reclaiming an old San Diego settlement pond to the southwest. The West Fairfield District has good freeway access at Palomar and Main Streets, and is an employment center, with regional retail and other employment uses. The potential for an educational facility is also proposed in this district.

STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview ofthe Proposed Preferred Alternative e. Main Street District The Main Street District is the focus of limited industrial uses within western Chula Vista. Changes along the Main Street corridor include extending the depth of commercial land use on the north side of Main Street to include the south side of Zenith Street, currently a residential street. A well-designed and landscaped buffer would be necessary to protect residential uses on the north side of Zenith Street. South of Main Street, industrial uses are anticipated to redevelop with the reclamation of previously disturbed mining areas. It is anticipated that with redevelopment of this area a balance will be achieved between preserve open space, industrial uses and recreational uses.

Provide for a community park south of Main Street, between Beyer Way and Broadway. 3. Options Proposed By Others After preparation of the Preferred Plan several options have been presented to staff for further consideration that differ from the Preferred Plan. These options and considerations are discussed below. 10-98 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 23 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative a. West Fairfield (Charles Company) The Charles Company has approached the City on several occasions regarding their desire and efforts to acquire the land within West Fairfield, and to design a comprehensive mixed use development proposal. They have shared preliminary concept alternatives with staff, and received our initial feedback. While they have indicated capability and potential interest to develop Mixed Use Commercial (retail/office) consistent with the Preferred Alternative, they have also expressed a desire to potentially include residential uses that would not be consistent, and would require consideration of GPU Scenario 1, which evaluated a low-rise Mixed Use Residential designation. They have also indicated a desire to consider taller buildings for residential in this area. Staff remains supportive of the Preferred Alternative for the following reasons: . Commercial uses would have good freeway access Retail commercial uses should be oriented closer to Palomar Street Professional offices in a Business Park setting is envisioned Residential could be problematic adjacent to a wildlife refuge (South San Diego Bay Unit) Residential development was not preferred due to lack of school, distance from transit station, adjacency to wildlife refuge (So. SD Bay Wildlife Refuge) Consideration of taller buildings within this area has not analyzed by the GPU Steering Committee, Staff or in the EIR and would therefore require review and analysis through a separate General Plan Amendment request . . . . . . b. South Broadway District Portions of the South Broadway District south of Naples Street are proposed for change to Mixed Use Commercial in the Preferred Plan. Other stable commercial and some residential uses are not proposed for change. One option asked to be considered by a member of Council is the provision of Mixed Use Residential on properties south of Palomar Street, and generally extending to Anita Street, consistent with those presented in GPU Scenario 2. Scenarios ranging from Mixed Use Residential to Mixed Use Commercial were considered for the entire length of the South Broadway District. However, the GPU Steering Committee and staff agreed that from Naples Street to Main Street there should be space reserved for automotive service uses, which don't mix compatibly with residential uses. With redevelopment being considered for most of Broadway that would include the addition of housing, this segment as well as other Limited Industrial areas within the Main Street District remain the few areas that would be compatible for automotive service uses. Consideration to allow for Mixed Use Residential in the area could aid the redevelopment of some properties in the near-term by providing additional economic potential in the 10-99 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 24 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHlVlENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative currently strong housing market. Because both options have been analyzed within the GPU EIR, Council can decide between them. c. South Third Avenue District - Southwest Town Focus Area The South Third Avenue District includes Mixed Use Residential redevelopment south of Naples Street to Palomar Street. This area is identified as the "Oxford Town Focus Area" for the Southwest Planning Area, and will be served by a future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station near Palomar Street and Third Avenue. One option asked to be considered by Rudy Ramirez, a member of the GPU Steering Committee representing the Southwest Planning Area, is to shift the Town Focus Area further south to include both sides of Third Avenue down to Orange Avenue. Crossroads II has also indicated support for this consideration. Staff has met with Mr. Ramirez and representatives of Crossroads II and has prepared a draft option for Council consideration that incorporates their proposal, and is acceptable to staff (See Attachment 7B). The option calls for extending the boundaries of the focus area down to Orange Avenue and renaming the focus area as the "Southwest Town Focus Area." The option also calls for conducting a special study to determine the precise boundaries for the Southwest Town Focus Area, followed by the preparation of a specific plan to guide future development of the area. d. Main Street/Beyer Boulevard (Nelson Trust) Several prospective buyers have approached the Nelson Trust regarding potential acquisition and redevelopment of the Trust's properties near the southwest comer of Main St. and Beyer Blvd. Approximately half of the property is currently leased to Hansen Aggregates who operates construction materials (sand/rock) and truck maintenance businesses there. Staff has spoken with representatives from the Trust and prospective buyers about the site and the GPU's proposals. The Preferred Alternative, which staff continues to support, designates about half the property as Limited Industrial and half as Open Space and a prospective Community Park site in concert with the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan. The Trust may desire .to expand the Limited Industrial to include the majority of the property, as was considered among the GPU Options. D. East Area The East Area Plan is composed of six subareas (see Figure 5) located east of Interstate 805. The six subareas include: Master Planned Communities; East Main Street; Unincorporated Sweetwater; Unincorporated East Otay Ranch; Other Miscellaneous; and Otay Ranch. GPU proposals for each of these subareas are discussed below. Only minor changes are proposed for five of the six subareas, with more significant amendments proposed for the Otay Ranch STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative 1. Master Planned Communities This subarea is made up of planned communities east of 1-805 that have been approved and constructed in accordance with adopted general development plans and or sectional planning area plans. They comprise unique, stable, and well-planned communities as envisioned by their adopted plans and planned community district regulations. The General Plan Update calls for maintaining these communities by specifYing that adopted plans continue to guide the completion of development activities in these communities. 2. Main Street This subarea consists of separate areas of varying land uses along and adjacent to the Otay River in the southwest comer of the East Planning Area. These uses include the amphitheater and water park, the Otay Landfill, an auto park, and several auto wrecking yards. Policies within the GPU are intended to maintain existing, stable neighborhoods, expand resident-serving commercial activities, preserve sensitive resources and open space lands, support recreational uses in the area, and phase out of the auto wrecking yards by expediting relocation processes. Land use changes in this subarea are limited to the redesignation of an 11.5-acre parcel located on the east side of Brandywine Avenue, between Sequoia Street and Main Street, ITom Low- Medium Residential (3-6 duJac) to Medium Residential (6 -11 duJac) 3. Unincorporated Sweetwater This subarea is composed of primarily stable, well-maintained single-family neighborhoods with supporting retail commercial and open space within. the unincorporated County. Policies are intended to preserve the subarea's current characteristics and to encourage close cooperation with the County and the Sweetwater Community Planning Group. Existing County land use designations are translated to corresponding City land use designations maintaining consistency with County land use designations. Land use changes are limited to the redesignation of the three-acre site of the nearly completed county library and museum ITom Visitor Commercial to Public-Quasi Public. 4. Unincorporated East Otay Ranch This subarea is located entirely within the unincorporated County of San Diego and is included within the County's Otay Subregional Plan. Its rugged topography, important biological habitat, and scenic resource value are reflected in GPU policies that maintain lower intensity development with significant portions of the area preserved as open space. The area currently lacks urban-level services. The GPU also directs that certain areas that require services ITom the City or that relate strongly to the City should be evaluated for annexation. No land use changes are proposed for this Subarea. 10-101 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 26 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative 5. Other Miscellaneous Areas There are several other areas within the East Planning Area, composed predominately of residential neighborhoods having developed at various times and with varying housing stock. GPU policies are intended to maintain these stable neighborhoods, directing that policies and regulations within the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance continue to guide development activities. No land use changes are proposed for this Subarea. 6. Otay Ranch The 23,OOO-acre Otay Ranch is the largest of the East Area's master planned communities. It consists of eight undeveloped villages and planning areas that are in various stages of planning. Otay Ranch was jointly planned by the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego, with overall guidance for the lands under City jurisdiction provided by Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP). Under the proposed GPU, Otay Ranch's vision of a connected network of villages that integrate residential neighborhoods, commercial shops, employment, parks, and other social services and facilities is continued. The Otay Ranch GDP was originally adopted in 1993 and has been periodically revised and updated to maintain consistency with the City's General Plan. With the most significant revisions to land use and planning policies in the East Area occurring in the Otay Ranch Subarea, a comprehensive amendment to the Otay Ranch GDP is proposed concurrently so that it reflects and maintains consistency with the land uses and policies in the General Plan. The discussion below describes area-wide proposals that while focusing primarily on the Otay Ranch Subarea, have implications on the East Area and the City at large. More detailed discussion of proposed policy and land use changes that apply to the individual districts that make up the Subarea follow the area-wide discussion. a. Area-Wide Proposals Area-wide amendments are proposed with the intent of maintaining and enhancing a balanced and sustainable community that provides for the employment, social, and recreational needs of its residents. Goals include improving the connectivity of major activity centers within the East Area; creating an intensely developed urban core, improving connectivity and relationships between large activity centers such as major shopping centers, educational and sporting facilities, and major community centers; promoting development of a distinctive multi-institutional university facility; and preservation oflarge areas of natural open space and part of a managed preserve system. To be applied primarily to the Otay Ranch Subarea and Otay Ranch General Development Plan, land use designations and policies are proposed that are intended to improve the jobs-housing balance by providing more land designated for commercial, research, and light industrial uses; reduce dependency on automobiles by promoting densities capable of supporting efficient public transportation and integrating commercial 10-102 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 27 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative and public services nearer housing; and to provide for higher residential densities and greater variety of housing stock. . Many of these proposed changes are an extension of or improvement on land development concepts previously introduced to and adopted for the northerly portion of Otay Ranch. As an example, while the previously developed villages of Otay Ranch have been a success, with their mixed use village cores and sense of community, adjustments are proposed to the land use scheme and circulation system for future villages. In the southerly portion of Otay Ranch, land uses will include the Regional Technology Park, Eastern Urban Center, and University District; therefore, arterial roadways are now proposed to be directed to the center of more intensely developed town centers that are designed to be more pedestrian friendly. This differs ITom the prior concept of the Otay Ranch, where major roadway arterials connected villages but were located to the village perimeters. This prior concept was successful in conveying traffic between villages and enhancing the community character by reducing traffic and improving pedestrian access in the village cores. But this concept did not provide sufficient access to the cores for the number of people required for commercial success of some desired businesses. The new concept for the arterial roadways is intended to allow greater numbers of people traffic access to the village cores and town centers to allow for increased commercial activities. As necessary, corresponding amendments are proposed to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan to correspond to and implement these new concepts proposed by the General Plan Update. Specific area-wide amendments include: · Creation of a new Town Center land use designation intended to encourage mixed-use areas of higher density and intensity than that of the traditional villages in Otay Ranch · Creation of a new, pedestrian friendly street classification, the Town Center Arterial, designed to serve town centers by accommodating sufficient traffic volume wile maintaining acceptable traffic flow · Integration of Bus-Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles into the circulation system, replacing the previously planned light rail transit system · Preservation and expansion of light industrial and research designated lands · Creation of the new specialty classification of Regional Technology Park (RTP) land use designation intended to provide more and higher-paying employment opportunities in the city. The RTP accommodates research and development, light manufacturing, and supporting retail, service, professional office, and finance businesses. · Revisions to the Circulation Element within the East Area Plan and corresponding changes to the GDP for certain roadways to reflect recently adopted open space preservation plans and the adjacent community plan within the City of San Diego. 10-103 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 28 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . Creation of a new Active Recreation Land Use Designation that provides opportunities for public and private recreational activities, such as outdoor campgrounds, tennis, soccer, golf courses; or other sports fields. This designation is applied to lands within the Otay Ranch Subarea that are largely undeveloped and adj acent to or near other open space areas and that do not contain significant sensitive biological or other natural resources. b. District-Level Land Use Proposals There are four districts in the Otay Ranch Subarea (see Figure 6): i. Western District The Western District is located in the west end of the Otay Ranch Subarea and is composed of Villages Two, Two West, and Three, and Planning 18 B of the OtayRanch GDP. Major land use proposals for this District are intended to maintain adequate land use buffers for residential uses from the Otay Landfill by retaining industrial designated lands within the buffer; preservation of major landforms and natural open space in and adjacent to Wolfe Canyon; developing a more intensely developed, pedestrian friendly village and mixed use village core; and making public transportation more accessible to the Village. Specific land use proposals in the GPU are described below. . Relocates the 70-acre Community Park Designation to the Central District of the Otay Ranch Subarea. . Provides for an enlarged, more intense village core. The Village Core designation is increased in area from approximately 87 acres to 164. . Low-Medium Residential acreage is reduced from approximately 235 acres to 180 acres. . Industrial acreage is maintained by retaining the industrial buffer surrounding the landfill. . Establishes a development envelope consistent with the adopted MSCP Subarea Plan. . Designates a BRT Transit Station along or near La Media Road . Adjusts the alignments for Rock Mountain and Heritage Roads to be consistent with MSCP Subarea Plans Corresponding amendments proposed to the Otay Ranch GDP for Villages Two, Two West, and Planning area 18 B to maintain consistency with the General Plan include: . Increases the maximum number ofresidential dwelling units from 1,719 to 2,510 and creates a larger, more intensive village core with more mixed use commercial land use. . Incorporates Transit Oriented Village policies . Amends the village boundary to reflect the boundary of preserve open space in the MSCP Subarea Plan. 10-104 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 29 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative · Maintains land designated Industrial at 261 acres. · Eliminates the County sponsored option for residential use in place of industrial use for Village Three and Planning Area 18B · Reflects moving the community park from Village 2 to Village 4 of the Central District . Accommodates revised alignments for Rock Mountain Road and Heritage Road · Incorporates Planning Area 18B land use and policies into Village 3 ii. Central District . The Central District is comprised of Villages 4 and 7, and the westerly portion of Village 8 (see Figure 6). The land use and planning proposals are intended to establish a pedestrian-friendly, higher-density mixed-use town center generally centered on the intersection of Rock Mountain and La Media Roads. This new town center would be served by the new Town Center Arterial roadway and efficient public transit service provided by BRT. . The town center arterial accommodates increased automobile trips to the town center and is more pedestrian friendly. thereby promoting commercial success of business activities. The community park, formerly in Village Two is planned northwest of the town center. Lower density single-family residential densities in Village 4 and the southerly portion of Village Eight are proposed in outlying areas along the western portions of Rock Mountain and in areas closer to open space preserve in Otay Valley. A new middle school at the northeast comer of the two intersection arterial roads is proposed in addition to the previously approved high school in Village 7. The no changes are proposed for remaining portion of Village 7 and its village core for which an approved SPA exists. In total, the changes proposed for the Central District are intended to provide for an overall increase in residential density and total units, and an increase in mixed use commercial uses. This will result in a greater supply and variety of housing, with residents less dependent on the automobile. The specific land use and planning proposals are described below: · Applies the new Town Center designation centered at the intersection of La Media Road with Rock Mountain Road and eliminates prior Village Core designations for Villages 4 and 8, retaining the Village Core designation for Village 7. · Designates a town center arterial over a portion of Rock Mountain Road in the town center · Mixed use and multi-family acreage is increased from approximately 50 acres to 95 acres. · Provides for increased density in the western portion of Village 4 along and south of Rock Mountain by eliminating approximately 225 acres of Low Density Residential (1-3 du/ac) designation and redesignating the area to Low Medium Residential (3-6 du/ac). A total of approximately 395 acres Low Medium Residential is now proposed. 10-105 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 30 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . Provides for BR T service and a transit station in the town center and incorporates transit oriented policies . Designates approximately 80 gross acres (70 acres net usable) for a community park, accommodating acreage from Village 2 (Western District) . Preserves Rock Monntain as open space . Establishes development envelope consistent with current adopted MSCP Subarea Plan. . Changes 11 acres of Residential Low Density west of the planned community park to open space recreation Corresponding amendments proposed to the Otay Ranch GDP for Villages Two, Two West, and Planning area 18 B to maintain consistency with the General Plan include: . Makes land use changes consistent with the GPU . Increases the maximum number of residential dwelling units for the Villages within the District from 2,617 to 3,402 because transit villages will have two cores. . Designates Rock Monntain Road through the town center as a town center arterial . Approximately 30 acres of Residential Low Medium Village being is transferred from Village 7 to Village 8 and redesignated as a future middle school site. . Approximately 87 acres of Residential Low Density is transferred from Village 4 to Village 8 and redesignated to mixed use and multi-family designations Hi. Eastern/U niversity District The Eastern University District is comprised of five separate focus areas, located along the corridor of future SR 125 (see Figure 6). It includes the following villages and planning area of the Otay Ranch GDP: Eastern Urban Center (Planning Area 12), the eastern portion of Village 8, Village 9, and the area currently shown as Village 10 (to be renamed University Campus). While each of these focus areas are planned as unique and distinctive communities, able to develop independent of each other, the changes proposed for this District are intended to encourage the focus areas to develop with strong relationships and connections, and with compatible, mutually supportive land uses, circulation, and urban form in order to maximize the full development potential of each. A key component of the District is a planned four-year university. Responding to the anticipated demand for housing and campus related commercial services and enhanced opportunities for promoting the creation of research and high-tech manufacturing businesses, these surronnding focus areas provide for a university-oriented town center of transit-oriented mixed uses, higher residential densities, and a regional technology park. The planned Eastern Urban Center is expected to derive even greater vitality and commercial market demand generated by the presence of the university. Specific land use and planning proposals for the District's five focus areas ,are described below: 10-106 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page310f41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . o Identifies the District as a corridor of high intensity urban uses, office and business parks, retail centers, and high-density residential uses. Establishes the area as an urban center for east Chula Vista o Increases residential density in town centers and number of dwelling units in the District is increased as a result of increase in density in core areas o The Public - Quasi Public designation for a university campus is reduced in acreage from over 670 acres to 530. o Applies Town Center designation southeast of the intersection of SR 125 and Rock Mountain Road! Hunte Parkway, which would establish a university-oriented town center of transit serving mixed use and medium-high residential densities. o Applies the Town Center Designation centered at the future intersection of Rock Mountain Road and La Media Road, providing medium-high densities and commercial uses. o Designates the Regional Technology Park on approximately 200 acres west of Future SR 125, south of Rock Mountain Road in the area formerly associated with the Central District (Village 8 of Otay Ranch GDP). o Establishes a Special Study Area for the focus areas surrounding the university. o Relocates the transit station in the town center. o Deletes AHa Road and establishes alignment of Rock Mountain Road east of SR 125 consistent the Otay Ranch RMP and MSCP Subarea Plan. o Adds a Mixed Use designation with strong residential component on the 32 acres of the northern Freeway Commercial (Note: the staff recommendation does not support this change) o Establishes the development envelope consistent with adopted MSCP Subarea Plan and Otay Ranch RMP. Corresponding amendments to the Otay Ranch GDP for Villages 9 and 10 (University Campus) and Planning area 12 (EUC and Freeway Commercial areas) are proposed to incorporate the land use and transportation changes necessary for consistency with the proposed General Plan Update. The GDP is amended as follows: o Maximum number of residential units is increased from approximately 3200 to approximately 8330 for the entire District. o GDP will be amended to rename Village 10 to "University Campus". GDP text is revised as necessary to reflect the new university concept. Applies "University Study Area" to GDP, recognizing subsequent planning effort to further define future land use and land use relationships between areas within the Study Area. o Provides development opportunities in Village 9 independent of and!or in conjunction with development of the university campus. Language is added that recognizes vested rights to develop under existing development agreements. o Incorporates university village policies to emphasize Village 9's relationship to the planned university campus 10-107 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 32 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . Encourages support uses for the university in Village 9 and the Eastern Urban Center (EUe) . Adjusts the boundary between Village 9 and the EUC, changing the acreages reflected in each of the respective land use tables of the GDP. . Amends the open space / development envelope consistent with the MSCP Subarea Plan and Resource Management Plan at south and east edge of Village 9, Village 11, and the University . Incorporates Town Center designation and policies in Villages 8 and 9 . Locates Rock Mountain Road as a Town Center Arterial roadway through the Village 8 & 9 Town Center . Applies the Regional Technology Park (RIP) designation on approximately acres 200 of Village 8 and adds RTP policies to the Village description . Adds policies that create incentives to property owners to help acquire land necessary for the university campus, included increased residential densities and credits toward Community Purpose Facility acreage. . Relocates Village 9 fire station to the EUC . Maintains a floating symbol for a future high school in the EUC, but defers final determination of the exact location of the high school in Otay Ranch pending completion of studies by the Sweetwater Union High School District. iv. Otay Valley District The Otay Valley District is comprised of three parcels located along the Otay Valley in the southern portion of the Otay Ranch Subarea. Because these are parcels are situated within and separated by open space lands, the planning proposal provides for land use and policies emphasizing protection of adjacent open space and sensitive resources and compatible, non-intrusive land uses. Specific land use and planning policies are listed below: . Approximately 23 acres formerly designated as Public - Quasi Public are designated as Active Recreation . Approximately 134 acres identified in the City's MSCP Subarea Plan as appropriate for low impact uses and designated as open space on the adopted General Plan is redesignated to Active Recreation . Approximately 40 acres of land that is designated open space on the adopted General Plan but has existing industrial uses is redesignated Limited Industrial. e. Options proposed by others i. Freeway Commercial Area- Otay Ranch Company Staff supports an alternative to the Steering Committee's Preferred Alternative recommendation for mixed use residential development on the northerly 35 acres of the Freeway Commercial Focus Area in the Otay Ranch Subarea. Staff recommends this area be retained as Retail Commercial as currently designated on the General Plan and in 10-108 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 33 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative the Otay Ranch GDP. The recommended revisions to the proposed GDP Land Use Table and Freeway Commercial Focus Area General Plan Land Use Map and Policies to retain the retail commercial use are included in Attachments 3 & 4. Reasons in support of the recommendation are: · It is believed that the demand for retail property will remain very strong and the change to mixed use residential will reduce the inventory of available land necessary for needed retail commercial property · The property is located adjacent to existing, significant retail uses and has been planned as part of a retail corridor which transitions from big-box Iwarehouse retail to the north, to other freeway-oriented commercial (the Otay Ranch Town Center currently under construction) and followed by the EUC farther to the south. . It is situated on three sides by significant arterial roadways, Olympic Parkway, SR 125 and Eastlake Parkway. This makes the property highly conducive to retail development while reducing its viability as a livable residential community. · Residential development of this site would be isolated from many necessary residential services and amenities, such as parks, elementary schools and other community purpose facilities, and other residential communities. ii. Gun Club/Bird Rancb Site- Staff Recommendation . Staff supports an alternative to the Steering Committee's Preferred Alternative recommendation for redesignating the entire 209 acres within the Otay Valley District of the Otay Ranch Subarea from Open Space to Open Space - Active Recreation. This same area also comprises Planning Area 20 of the Otay Ranch GDP. Staff recommends a IS-acre portion of the District and Planning Area be designated Mixed Use Commercial. Accompanying Staff's recommendation are policies that direct that the commercial uses be limited to those that support the existing, nearby recreational uses, the amphitheatre and water park, and potential, future uses allowed on the remaining lands designated for active recreation. The recommended revisions to the proposed General Plan Land Use Map and District Policies and GDP Land Use Table and Policies to affect this change to the Preferred Alternative are included in Attachments 3B and 4B. Reasons in support of the Staff recommendation are: · These additional supporting uses would strengthen the attraction to the existing recreational uses in the area as well as encourage new active recreational uses. This point was specifically put forth in the Economic Development Strategy recently adopted by the City Council. · The commercial uses would be required to be carefully sited to avoid impacts to sensitive biological habitats and other natural resources and measures to reduce impacts to adjacent resources would be strictly applied. · The additional commercial/recreational uses would respond to the anticipated growth in population in the area. 10-109 GPU Staff Report - Attachment 8 Page 34 of 41 STAFF REPORT ATTACHMENT 8: Summary of Major General Plan Update Planning Proposals, and Overview of the Proposed Preferred Alternative . Such uses would be required to be consistent with those identified in the City's MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan. III. GENERAL PLAN SCENARIOS CONSIDERED The following is a brief description of the District-level Preferred Plan land use proposals, how each of the Scenarios analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report may differ, and what the implications might be of choosing among these Scenarios. A. Northwest 1.

R....~~~,_~~~..J~t;.$ ERA Fiscal Impact Analysis of the General Plan Update Chula Vista, California Prepared for City of Chula Vista Submitted by Economics Research Associates January 2005 ERA Project No. 14927 10990 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 1500 Los Angeles, CA 90024 310477.9585 FAX 3 10.478.1950 WW'N econres.com Los Angeles San Fran':;ls,:;o San Diego Chicago Washington DC London 10-125 Executive Summary Economics Research Associates (ERA) was retained by the City of Chula Vista (City) to prepare a fiscal model to be used during the GPU effort. ERA was also asked to perform numerous analyses of the existing and proposed General Plan alternatives through the entire planning process. The primary components of the task were to: . Formulate an appropriate fiscal modeling methodology for the GPU process . Analyze the fiscal impact of incremental growth of the existing General Plan . Analyze fiscal impacts of proposed General Plan alternatives . Analyze the net fiscal impact of the preferred General Plan alternative . Perform a risk analysis of the scenarios using a number of stress and sensitivity tests, and present probable ranges of outcome This project has spanned over an extended period of time, following the rest of the GPU effort. ERA and a preliminary review team comprised of staff from the City's Budget and Analysis department met in September, 2003 to discuss the modeling methodology and initial fmdings. ERA then presented the basic modeling methodology and its outcomes to the City's General Plan Management Team (GPMT) in November, 2003. These 'working review' sessions led to the exchange of a number of initial refmements to the model. These refioements required the input of certain additional or alternative datasets as well as some modifications to the modeling methodology, wlrich. ERA provided an updated model and an analysis of the existing General Plan in February 2004. As the GPU process proceeded, ERA analyzed a number of alternative scenarios between June and August of 2004. We fioalized the model and analyzed the preferred alternative between September and November of 2004, and all of the fiodings were presented to the GPMT in November 2005. With a few more refmements in the City's preferred alternative the final round of analysis was done in December 2004. Analysis Framework The fiscal impact model is set up to calculate the net incremental annual fiscal cost or revenue to the City of Chula Vista's General Fund that can be attributed to incremental growth under each of the General Plan alternatives. Net impacts are given by subtracting net costs of providing services from net discretionary revenues generated at a given year. Note that the fiscal impact output always represents a snapshot in time. This could be a snapshot of annual impacts at buildout or at any chosen point in time. This temporal layer of fiscal analysis is an important factor in interpreting results. Fiscal Analysis Zones In order to accurately model cost of service provision for key service providing City agencies (like Police and Fire), ERA divided the City into a number of broad service areas referred to as 'Fiscal Analysis Zones' or F AZs. The F AZ approach allows us to model impacts of future development based on spatial distribution of service needs (existing and Economics Research Associates ERA Project No. 14927 Executive Summary ES - 1 10-126 future) resulting ITom land use distribution, density, and incremental cost of maintaining uniform service standards. . Keeping the above issues in mind, ERA divided the City into seven F AZs, that best reflect Uniqueness in terms of physical boundaries, land use, and socio-demographics. The geographic extents of the F AZs are presented in the figure below. In addition to the seven FAZs, at the City's request, ERA has considered an eighth FAZ that includes 700 acres of potential annexation area to the east of the City. This FAZ 8 is within the City's existing Planning Area, but is not within the City's existing jurisdiction (the City does not provide any services or receives any revenues ITom this area as of now).

It is important not to interpret this time ITame as the 'buildout' period. Buildout mayor may not occur within this time ftame depending on a number of market variables. Based on ERA's current assessment of market conditions it is unlikely that all land uses will be built out within this period considering the development capacity of the existing General Plan or the preferred alternative. While all (pr most) of the residential land is expected to be developed during this time, it is likely that some of the non-residential uses, especially research and limited industrial uses will take a longer time to get absorbed. Economics Research Associates ERA Project No. 14927 Executive Summary ES - 2 10-127 One of the reasons for selecting this 25-year time frame is the ability to project absorption and other market assumptions within realistic parameters based on available regional trends and other data. All of SANDAG's regional and local data, which provide a sound benchmark for many assumptions in this analysis, are also projected over the 2030 time frame. In addition, the General Plan is likely to be updated again between now and 2030, hence a very extended analysis time frame that takes into account market parameters like absorption, appreciation and inflation, will not only yield results that are highly speculative, but will be so far out in the future that it will not have any significant relevance to the current process. Risk Analysis Variations in input variables, especially ones that are dependent on market and economic conditions can yield a wide range of impact values over an extended period of time. Though professional experience, available projections, and data benchmarks allow us to speculate on most of these variables, it is almost certain that none of these will be static over a 25 year period. Hence it is important to conduct a series of stress tests on the model with sound assumptions of variation in input variable ranges in order to gauge the resultant variation in net impacts. Using a complex modeling format that utilizes close to a hundred input variable can often be very sensitive to a few key variables and may yield a wide range of results depending on the variation within these key variables. It is important to understand and identif'y these key variables through a series of sensitivity tests. ERA used the @Risk 4.5 software to conduct a sensitivity analysis of each General Pan scenario. @Risk is an analysis software that works on the MS- Excel platform and allows users to select a set of output variables and defme a range of distribution for any number of precedent input variables. The software then conducts a series of random simulations within the defined parameters and can provide a number of risk related results. For the purpose of this analysis ERA utilized the software's built in sensitivity analysis to determine the distribution of net annual fiscal impacts and identif'y the most significant variables driving the output.

As shown in the Table, the combined net impact trom the current jurisdiction and FAZ 8 is estimated to be $10.44 million at 2030. Of this total, $8.77 million is attributed to incremental growth in the current jurisdiction, and the remaining $1.67 million is attributed to development in F AZ 8. Buildout Impacts (2050) ERA also looked at an extended post buildout scenario, assuming all uses are fully developed by 2050. A mid growth scenario assuming 0.5 percent real appreciation I of property values and keeping all other assumptions constant yields the net impacts summarized below.

Net annual incremental fiscal impacts at 2030 are presented above. The combined net annual impact from incremental growth in the current jurisdiction and F AZ 8 is estimated to be $6.31 million at 2030. Of this total, $4.68 million is attributed to incremental growth I ERA assumes real appreciation varies between zero percent and one percent annually. Economics Research Associates ERA Project No. 14927 Executive Summary ES - 4 10-129 in the current jurisdiction, and $1.63 million is attributed to development in FAZ 8. Note that this base analysis for the preferred alternative does not take into account any real appreciation of properties. Property taxes are calculated using an economic inflation of three percent armually and final results are inflation adjusted to reflect 2004 dollars. Buildout Impacts (2050) ERA analyzed an extended post buildout scenario, assuming that the preferred alternative is completely built out by 2050. Note that this analysis called for aggressive absorption assumptions for commercial office and industrial land after 2030, assuming that Chula Vista will be able to overcome most regional competition for these uses as regional land becomes scarce. ERA also assumed a midline real property appreciation of 0.5 percent. A summary of findings of the 2050 buildout scenario is presented below. As shown in the table, revenue generation is expected to continue to outpace fiscal costs even at buildout, resulting in a net positive impact of $10,96 million armually for the total planning area. Net armual incremental fiscal impact ITom buildout of the current jurisdiction is estimated to be $8.90 million. Annual incremental impact ITom F AZ 8 is estimated to be $2.05 million.

The list of input variables and their distributions are shown in table A- 3.1 in Appendix 3. ERA also tested the sensitivity of these variables in affecting the model output (net fiscal impacts) using the sensitivity analysis tool built within at risk. We ran 10,000 iterations of the model within the defmed ranges. The results of the risk analysis of impacts are described below. Note that the analysis tested the total fiscal impacts at 2030 including both the current jurisdiction as well as the future armexation area, F AZ 8. Economics Research Associates ERA Project No. 14927 Executive Summary ES - 5 10-130 Probability Distribution The Figure below plots the distribution of net fiscal impacts under the given ranges of variables. As shown in the figure, the net fiscal impacts are always positive under the given stress ranges of input variables. 90 percent of the iterations yielded a net impact value between $4.51 million and $11.89 million, with a mean value of $8.09 million.

This allows us to identify the variables that most significantly affect the net impacts. It also allows us to determine whether the input variables have a direct or an inverse relationship with the output. The Figure below presents the most sensitive input variables and the nature of their relationship to the output. As shown in the graph, the five most sensitive variables include: . Multi family home values for owner occupied units . Annual real appreciation factor of A V . Single family home value . Economic inflation Economics Research Associates ERA Project No. 14927 Executive Summary ES - 6 10-131 . Residential turnover rate The impacts are also inversely proportional to multi- family household sizes. The above sensitivities reveal that the primary driver of fiscal revenues and costs is the high-density residential component in the plan. Sustained growth in home values, adequate turnovers that capture real appreciation, and modest economic inflation will be important drivers of fiscal revenues. However, household occupancies that significantly exceed current levels, especially in the case of multi-family units may result in higher fiscal costs. The capacity to capture retail sales from incremental households and recapture currently leaking retail also appears to be an important driver of fiscal revenues.

After reviewing and discussing the document, the RCC voted 5-1-0-0 (Commissioner Stillman opposed) to recommend the certification of the Final EIR by the City Council. The RCC found the document to be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The public comment period for EIR-05-01 was closed at the Planning Commission meeting of November 2, 2005, at which time numerous comments were received from both the public and Commission members. / Page 2, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Comments received at the November 2, 2005 Planning Commission hearing, as well as all written comments received regarding EIR-05-01, have been responded to within the body of the final EIR. BACKGROUND: This staff report discusses the general content of Final EIR 05-01. EIR-OI-05 was originally circulated for public review and comment on December 31, 2004. As a result of the significant public comment and concerns raised regarding the draft General Plan Update and associated EIR, many of the policies contained within the General Plan Update were modified. The associated EIR was revised to reflect the numerous GPU policy changes, as well as to address significant comments that were received regarding the EIR itself. The revised EIR contains expanded and enhanced analyses regarding such issue areas as air quality, noise, land use, aesthetics, and traffic. Revisions made to the ErR since it was last released for public comment are fully described in the "Summary of Revisions" section of the document. The revised EIR was re-circulated for public comment on September 19, 2005 with the public comment period ending on November 2, 2005. Pursuant to the City of Chula Vista CEQA guidelines, the public comment period was ended at a public hearing at the Planning Commission meeting of November 2, 2005. Numerous oral comments regarding the draft EIR were received from both Commission members and the public. Minutes from the Planning Commission hearing of November 2, 2005 can be reviewed in the response to comments section ofEIR-05-01. Because extensive revisions were made throughout the GPU EIR, the entirety of the ErR was re- circulated for public review and comment. As stated above, most of the revisions to the document were made in response to comments received regarding the prior drafts of the GPU and associated EIR. Since many of the prior ErR comments had been addressed and the re- circulated ErR has been substantially revised, the City has (in accordance with CEQA Guideline 15088.5(f)1) only responded to the comment letters received regarding the re-circulated draft EIR. The Notice of Availability for the re-circulated GPU EIR specifically stated that only new comment letters would be addressed in the re-circulated EIR. As outlined below, a total of 28 comment letters was received. DISCUSSION: The re-circulated GPU ErR assesses the environmental impacts of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan Update and associated actions. It constitutes a program-level EIR under the provisions of Section 15168 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The EIR analysis determined whether the land use changes proposed in the GPU would result in a significant impact upon the environment. A significant impact on the environment is defined in CEQA as a substantial adverse change in the physical conditions which exist in the area affected by the proposed project. When a significant impact is identified, the EIR calls out measures or alternatives that would substantially reduce or eliminate (mitigate) the impact. The EIR also identifies impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. 10/) ;;. Page 3, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 In assessing potential environmental impacts, the EIR compares the long-term physical condition (year 2030) of the City of Chula Vista that would result from development under the policies of the GPU, to that of the existing physical condition of the City. This analysis is performed for all areas of the City regardless of whether they are developed or undeveloped; this is termed a "plan to ground" analysis. The EIR also compares the potential environmental impacts that would occur under the policies of the draft GPU to impacts associated with development under the adopted General Plan. This is the "plan to plan" analysis that is in the No Project Alternative section (Page 604) of the EIR. Many of the goals and policies of the General Plan Update serve to mItIgate potential environmental impacts since they call for development that is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, environmentally sensitive, and sustainable. These policies will be employed over the life of the GPU to shape future development in a way that ensures that potentially significant environmental impacts are reduced to a less than significant level. In this sense, many of the policies of the GPU are "self mitigating." The General Plan Update EIR contains many of the policies stated in the GPU document in order to demonstrate how potential environmental impacts would be "self mitigated" and, thus, do not result in a significant impact. In these issue areas no further mitigation is necessary. In those instances where potential environmental impacts have been identified, mitigation measures are called for in the EIR. The General Plan Update process involved the creation of three land use scenarios, from which a preferred alternative was derived. The General Plan Update EIR analyzes the three scenarios developed for the plan as well as the Preferred Alternative in equal detail (at the project level). The level of detail and analysis provided in the EIR gives decision makers the flexibility to adopt either the Preferred Plan or any of the scenarios, since all of these options are adequately covered within the GPU EIR. As discussed in the Findings section below, CEQA findings have only been prepared for the Preferred Plan. Should the City Council decide to adopt Scenario I, 2, or 3 of the GPU, staff will need to prepare CEQA findings that reflect that particular scenario. Should the City Council wish to approve some variation of the Preferred Plan other than what is addressed in the findings attached to this staff report, staff will need to determine if the modifications to the Preferred Plan are adequately covered by EIR-05-0!. In this case the findings would also need to be modified.

All comments received concerning EIR-05-0l have been fully addressed within the Final EIR. Summarv of Environmental Impacts The following discussion contains a summary of the impact conclusions for the Final EIR. The impacts are identified and divided into three categories: less than significant/self mitigated; significant and mitigated to less than significant; and significant and unmitigated Less than Significant/Self Mitigated Impacts Less than significant/self mitigated impacts were identified in the following environmental issue areas: . Geology . Agriculture . Drainage and Water Quality . Public Facilities and Services . Public Utilities (excluding long term water supply) . Hazards . Mineral Resources . Housing (with the exception of growth inducement) jp , - .' ') ,.,..... Page 5, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Significant and Mitigated to Less than Significant Significant impacts were identified in the following environmental issue areas. Mitigation measures required in the ElR would reduce the significant impacts identified in the following areas to less than significant. . Cultural Resources . Paleontological Resources Significant and Unmitigated Impacts Significant and unmitigated impacts have been identified in the Final ElR for the following issue areas: Land Use The GPU ElR identifies significant and unmitigated community character impacts in the Northwest, Southwest, and East Planning Areas for development under the Preferred Plan and the three GPU scenarios. In the Northwest area, the Preferred Plan and three scenarios modify designated land uses to allow for an increase of mixed-use development and focus on redevelopment efforts in the Urban Core, along gateways and major transit corridors. Densities within the Urban Core would also be increased. Adding more density and increasing the number of multi-family units within the Urban Core has the potential to cause an impact on the community character of the existing residential neighborhoods adjacent to areas of change. Impacts upon community character associated with this intensified level of development would result from such factors as an increased level of activity within the area and a more built up environment. Within the Montgomery Subarea of the Southwest Planning Area, General Plan Update policies would result in focusing redevelopment efforts generally south of L Street along the South Broadway, South Third Avenue and Main Street corridors, and on either side of the 1-5 in the vicinity of the Palomar Street Trolley and West Fairfield area. These policies could result in impacts to adjacent development. For Scenarios 1, 2, and 3, significant impacts to neighborhood community character have been identified due to the redesignation of land uses in the Montgomery Subarea from open space to industrial on lands adjacent to protected habitat within the City's MSCP preserve. Proposed revisions to the City's adopted land use plan in the East Planning Area would result in adjustments to the boundaries and overall densities for residential, commercial, industrial, and public/quasi-public uses. The amount and location of open space and parklands would also be adjusted. Presently, the land within the areas of change within the East Planning Area is vacant, therefore, any proposed changes would cause an intensification in land use over the existing condition. The Preferred Plan and three scenarios have the potential to cause an adverse effect on the community character of the surrounding villages within the East Planning Area. /01} . h Page 6, Item No.: Meeting Date: l2/13/05 The above referenced community character impacts would be substantially lessened through the implementation of the goals and policies of the General Plan Update. The goals and policies of the GPU would ensure that development occurring in areas of change is compatible with surrounding areas and that environmental impacts are minimized. Policies such as preserving the character of stable residential neighborhoods, ensuring that development adheres to quality design standards, and facilitating compatible land uses help to minimize environmental impacts. While the adoption of the goals and policies of the GPU would limit land use impacts, the impacts would not be eliminated. The objectives and policies do not completely mitigate identified impacts because the development standards that would serve to limit impacts will be implemented at a later date. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan level effort. Until future specific plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented, impacts remain significant and unmitigated. Landform Alternation/Aesthetics The GPU EIR identifies potentially significant impacts to landform alternation/aesthetics since the policies set forth in the GPU could substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality. Adoption of the preferred plan and all three scenarios would result in substantial changes to landforms and visual quality throughout the General Plan area. In the Northwest Planning Area, adding more density and increasing the number of multi-family units within the Urban Core Subarea has the potential to cause an adverse impact upon the visual character of the Urban Core. Development completed in conformance with any of the scenarios within the Montgomery Subarea would result in greater land use intensity which would result in increased building heights and mass. In the East Planning Area, development in accordance with the Preferred Plan and all three scenarios would significantly change the visual character of the area. The existing character in the East Update Area would be changed from an undeveloped area to an urban area. The open rolling hills encountered in the East would be permanently altered by development and the change from open areas to developed areas in the East constitutes a significant adverse visual impact that can not be fully mitigated. Conformance with the proposed General Plan Update objectives and policies reduce visual quality impacts within the General Plan Update Area resulting from the adoption of the Preferred Plan and all three Scenarios, but not to below a level of significance. Impacts remain significant because ofthe lack of specific design standards at this time. The current project is a General Plan amendment and the development of design standards are a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Additionally, within the East Planning Area, the conversion of open, rolling hills to a developed condition was identified as a significant adverse impact (this also the case under the adopted General Plan). Implementation of mitigation measure 5.2-1 reduces the significant landform alteration and aesthetics impacts; however, the open, rolling hills would be /Of} 1 Page 7, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 permanently altered by development and the impact due to the change from open areas to developed areas remains significant and unavoidable. Biological Resources Biological impacts resulting from the Preferred Plan, as well as Scenarios I and 3, are mitigated to less than significant. Scenario 2 would, however, result in significant unmitigated impacts to biological resources, since this scenario proposes to allow a portion of Wolf Canyon to be filled to accommodate development. Development under this scenario would require a boundary adjustment to the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. Scenario 2 proposes to remove preserve area in the western fork of Wolf Canyon and to add preserve in the northern portion of the main drainage of Wolf Canyon. Significant impacts occur because Scenario 2 does not conform to the City ofChula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. Scenario 2 also potentially represents an impact to biological resources within Wolf Canyon. While it may be possible to demonstrate that no adverse biological impacts would result from a boundary adjustment, an analysis has not been completed as part of the GPU. Without a comprehensive biological study, the availability and adequacy of measures to lessen biological impacts cannot be determined. Scenario 2 also proposes to designate portions of the Otay Valley District in an area specified for active recreation for commercial and residential use. These uses are not compatible with the MSCP and the RMP. Energy The Preferred Plan and three scenarios all result in increased energy consumption since they propose greater densities then what are currently called out in the adopted General Plan. Direct impacts to energy would occur if as a result of plan implementation future energy demand outstrips supply. Impacts to energy are significant because there is no long-term assurance that energy supplies will be available to meet demand for the life ofthe GPU (year 2030) (this is also the case with the adopted General Plan). Although the programs and policies contained within the GPU would result in the more efficient use of energy, the projected increase in population resulting from the Preferred Plan or any of the scenarios would result in an increased demand for energy. None of the energy policies called out in the GPU would ensure that energy supplies will be available. Because there is no assurance of a long-term supply of energy for the life of the GPU, the increased projected energy demand results in a significant unmitigated impact. It is important to note, however, that in their response to the draft re-circulated EIR, SDG&E states that it has filed a long term energy resource plan with the California Public Utilities Commission assuring energy supply for the next 20 years. Energy impacts for future development will be reviewed on a project by project basis for conformance with CEQA. Traffic Significant and unmitigated traffic impacts are identified in the EIR for the Preferred Plan and all scenarios. The traffic analysis assesses traffic impacts based upon separate and distinct thresholds for the City's Urban Core area, and "non-Urban Core" area. Based upon the traffic thresholds as stated in the Traffic Section of the EIR, the Preferred Plan results in no traffic /0 IJ -;'/ . Page 8, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 impacts within the Urban Core. One significant and unmitigated impact is identified within the Urban Core for Scenarios I and 2. The Urban Core traffic threshold for a significant impact is a level of service (LOS) ofless than D. The Preferred Plan and each of the scenarios result in significant impacts to non-Urban Core Circulation Element roadways. These impacts occur because several roadway segments that currently operate at LOS C or better are predicted to operate at LOS D or worse, and other segments that currently operate at LOS D, E, or F are predicted to worsen by 5 percent or more with the proposed changes. Traffic impacts and mitigation measures for non-Urban Core roadways have been called out in Table 5.10-5 (Page 368) of the ErR. The impacts are based upon a comparison of the 24 hour average volume of a roadway to its capacity. Mitigation measures only address the operation (intersection function) of the roadway. The only way to increase the capacity of the roadways identified and to mitigate the impact is to add additional lanes. The GPU does not propose road widening for Circulation Element roadways due to physical constraints and environmental concerns. Traffic impacts are, therefore, not fully mitigated. The ErR also identified significant and unmitigated impacts for area freeways. The EIR identifies freeway impacts in Table 5.10-4 (Page 362). Freeways would have to be widened to provide between one to three general purpose lanes (or the equivalent capacity in high occupancy vehicle and/or managed lanes), depending upon the particular freeway segment. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by Caltrans, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways. Air Oualitv The proposed GPU results in significant unmitigated impacts to air quality. The Preferred Plan and all the scenarios represent a potential increase in development and population in the plan area. By changing land use designations, the General Plan Update would no longer be in conformance with the growth projections used by SANDAG as the basis for the adopted air quality management plan. Measures such as pedestrian trails, on-street bicycle paths, and an emphasis on public transit, have been incorporated into the proposed General Plan Update to lessen air quality impacts. However, the General Plan Update is not consistent with the growth assumptions used to develop the Regional Air Quality Strategy, and as such there is a conflict with an applicable plan. Until revisions are made to the SANDAG plan that reflect the General Plan Update scenario that is ultimately approved, there is a significant adverse air quality impact. The Preferred Plan and all scenarios are anticipated to result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is in non-attainment. Because the region is not in compliance with established standards for small particulate matter (PMIO), and because the average daily emission is anticipated to increase, impacts are significant, until the region is in compliance. This is also the case with the adopted General Plan. Scenarios 2 and 3 present a significant odor impact because they place residential uses within 1,000 feet of the landfill. /0/1. 9 Page 9, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 Noise The ErR indicates that traffic increases along area roadways will result in noise increases of between three and nine decibels for receivers located adjacent to some Circulation Element roadways. This increase is a significant adverse impact. Lessening the noise levels in impacted areas would require a lot by lot review of potential exterior use areas and an evaluation of the acoustical performance of each building exposed to the increase. The exterior analysis would assess the feasibility of reducing noise levels to outdoor use areas through the construction of noise barriers or other measures, and the interior review would require consideration of the effectiveness of existing windows and doors, the adequacy of existing construction and the need for retrofit. Since this level of analysis is infeasible at the General Plan stage, impacts remain significant and not mitigated. Water Supply The Preferred Plan and all three scenarios result in significant unmitigated impacts to water supply. Water needs for the region are determined by the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCW A) and stated in their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). The UWMP is primarily a forecast of future water demand and does not provide any guarantee of future water supply. The UWMP analyzes historic and current water demands for the San Diego region, compares water supplies with demands through the year 2020, and identifies potential new supplies to meet that demand. Long-term water supply cannot be assured because there are no contracts with water agencies to provide Chula Vista (or other cities) with a guaranteed source of water through of the buildout of the GDP. Because the water agencies cannot provide a guarantee of future water supply, the impact to water supply is considered to be significant and unmitigated. The SDCW A projects that the agencies serving Chula Vista will require 102,200 acre-feet of water per year by 2030 based upon the adopted General Plan (Table 5.14-1, EIR Page 515). Because the water supply forecasts presented in Table 5.14-1 are based upon the regional growth forecasts conducted by SANDAG in accordance with adopted general plans, amending the Chula Vista general plan to increase development potential would result in an inconsistency between the water supply forecast and the newly adopted GPU. Because there will be an inconsistency between the GPU and the UWMP, there is a significant short-term unmitigated impact to the provision of water in the City. It is anticipated that this impact will no longer occur once the UWMP is updated to reflect the GPU, which is likely to occur in 2007. Housing The Preferred Plan and all three scenarios would result in a substantial increase in the population of Chula Vista because they would accommodate growth that may occur locally. The GPU is, therefore, considered to be growth inducing. The environmental impacts associated with increased population are discussed in the individual topical sections of the EIR. Because the Preferred Plan and all three scenarios would induce growth, the impact is significant. No mitigation is available to avoid this impact because adoption of the Preferred Plan or any of the /D;./. ,.., C.l Page 10, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 scenarios would necessarily result in an increase in the population of Chula Vista. The impact is, therefore, significant and unmitigated. Additional Revisions to Draft EIR Revisions to the EIR made as a result of public comment have been summarized on Page 1 of the FErR. Minor typographical corrections have been made to information contained in the Draft Re- circulated ErR; the Final EIR reflects the corrected information. None of the corrections made to the document have resulted in modifications to conclusions regarding the level of significance of impacts. Findinl!s of the Final EIR 01-05 The Final EIR identified a number of significant environmental effects (or "impacts") that would result from the proposed General Plan Update. Some of these significant effects can be fully avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Other impacts cannot be avoided by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures or feasible environmentally superior alternatives. In order to approve the proposed project, a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) must be adopted in accordance with CEQA. Pursuant to CEQA, an EIR can be determined to be adequate and a project approved, even if significant unmitigated impacts are identified and an SOC is required. The purpose of an EIR is to disclose to the public all environmental impacts associated with a project regardless of whether or not these impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. The Statement of Overriding Considerations is included as a part of the proposed "Findings of Fact" (Exhibit "A" to resolution of approval ofEIR-05-01). The proposed EIR findings have been prepared for the adoption of the Preferred Plan. The findings also address potential changes to the Preferred Plan in four specific areas of the City, and determine that these changes have been adequately covered in EIR-05-0J. These areas are the Freeway Commercial site in Otay Ranch Village 12, the Gun Club site located in Otay Valley, the South Third Avenue District, and the South Broadway District. These potential modifications are fully described on Pages12-15 of the GPU staff report, dated December 13, 2005. Should the City Council decide to adopt Scenario 1,2, or 3 of the GPU, staff will need to prepare CEQA findings that reflect that particular scenario. Should the Council wish to approve some variation of the Preferred Plan other than what is addressed in the attached findings, staff will need to determine if the modifications to the Preferred Plan are adequately covered by EIR-05- o J. In this case the findings would also need to be modi fied. Conciusions All feasible mitigation measures with respect to project impacts for the General Plan Update and all associated actions have been included in the Final ErR (see Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in Exhibit "B" to resolution of approval of ErR-05-0l). As described above, the implementation of the GPU will result in unmitigated impacts that would remain significant /~)r?' // /C Page 11, Item No.: Meeting Date: 12/13/05 after the application of these measures; therefore in order to approve the project, the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15043 and 15093 (see Section XII the CEQA Findings). The City has examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed project, other than the proposed project described in the Final EIR. Based on this examination, the City has determined that none of the alternatives meets the project objectives, or is environmentally superior to the project (see Section XI of the CEQA Findings). Staff believes that the Final EIR meets the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, recommends that the City Council find that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and adopt the Draft Findings of Fact, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached to this staffreport FISCAL IMPACT: The GPU EIR will not result in the need for the future expenditure of City funds. The fiscal impacts of the policies and programs of the GPU are outlined in the Fiscal Impacts Section ofthe City Council staff report for the GPU, dated December 13,2005. Attachments 1.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT OF CITY COUNCIL The City Council finds that the FEIR 05-0 I reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Chula Vista. VI. CEQA FINDINGS OF FACT, MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS A. Adoption of Findings of Fact The City Council does hereby approve, accepts as its own, incorporate as if set forth in full herein, and make each and everyone of the findings contained in the Findings of Fact, Exhibit "A" of this Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk. B. Mitigation Measures Feasible and Adopted As more fully identified and set forth in FEIR 05-01 and in the Findings of Fact for this Project, which is Exhibit "A" to this Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk, the City Council hereby finds pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 that the mitigation measures described and specifically identified in the above referenced documents are feasible and will become binding upon the entity (such as the project proponent or the City) assigned thereby to implement the same. C. Infeasibility of Alternatives and Selected Mitigation Measures As more fully identified and set forth in FEIR 05-01 and in the Findings of Fact, Section XIII, for the Project, which is Exhibit "A" to this Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk, the City Council hereby finds pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA /0/1/'5" Guidelines Section 15091 that alternatives to the project which were identified in FEIR-05-01, and selected mitigation measures, are determined to be infeasible based on specific economic, legal, social, technological or other considerations. Section XIII identifies the factual basis for this conclusion, which includes but is not limited to the determination that project alternatives and selected mitigation measures do not reduce impacts to a less than significant level or meet several project objectives. D. Statement of Overriding Considerations Even after the adoption of all feasible mll1gation measures and any feasible alternatives, certain significant or potentially significant environmental effects caused by the Project, or cumulatively, will remain. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby issues and approves, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, a Statement of Overriding Considerations in the form set forth in Exhibit "A," a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk, identifying the specific economic, legal, social, technological and other considerations that render the unavoidable significant adverse environmental effects acceptable. E. Adoption of Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program As required by the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City Council hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program set forth in Exhibit "Boo of this Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk. The City Council further finds that the Program is designed to ensure that, during project implementation, the City and any other responsible parties implement the project components and comply with the mitigation measures identified in the Findings of Fact and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. VII.

BEFORE THE CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL RE: City of Chula Vista General Plan Update; Environmental Impact Report EIR #05-01, SCH #2004081066 FINDINGS OF FACT 1. INTRODUCTION The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for this project addressed the potential environmental effects that could result from growth and development in accordance with the proposed City of Chula Vista General Plan Update. The EIR analysis focused on two primary components of the proposed General Plan Update: (I) physical development potential and (2) the goals/policies and subsequent action itemslimplementation measures. Three alternative land use scenarios were developed as part of the outreach program for the General Plan Update. Each scenario identified possible land use changes in the three of the four planning areas of the General Plan area. After review of these scenarios, a Preferred Plan was developed and reviewed. All four of these land use plans were evaluated at an equivalent level of detail throughout this EIR. In addition, the EIR evaluated four CEQA alternatives to the proposed project: the No Project Alternative, the Reduced Project Alternative, the Community Character Alternative, and the Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative. These findings have been prepared to comply with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (Cal.

The proposed General Plan Update text contains the following elements, in addition to the current Housing Element: Land Use and Transportation Element; Economic Development Element; Public Facilities and Services Element; Growth Management Element; and Environmental Element. The text also contains additional chapters, including an implementation chapter. One element of the adopted General Plan, the Housing Element, is not a part of the current update. The Chula Vista Housing Element was last amended on May 28, 2002. The adopted Housing Element will be updated separately and restructured to include consistent formatting with the overall General Plan document. No amendments to the Housing Element are proposed as part of the proposed General Plan Update. In addition to the formulation of the new General Plan elements, land use and circulation changes in three of the four planning areas of the city, the Northwest, Southwest, and East Planning Areas, are proposed. The Bayfront Planning Area is currently undergoing planning evaluation under a separate process with the Unified Port of San Diego. Therefore, the Bayfront Planning Area is not a part of the General Plan Update and no land use designation or Circulation Element roadway changes are proposed within this area. The Cumulative Impacts section of the EIR does address the potential effect of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan, and uses the worst-case condition as part of the analysis for the project. Three scenarios were initially developed for each of the three planning areas. The effects of each of those scenarios were considered as were their effectiveness in achieving long-term objectives. As a result of that consideration, a preferred plan was developed. For the majority of the city, the proposed General Plan Update would not result in changes to planned land uses. The Preferred Plan seeks to provide a framework that integrates the various neighborhoods of the city and preserves existing community ,d)/}6 ...2 C? character and valued physical attributes, including the city's older residential neighborhoods, while providing for new development. In formulating the Preferred Plan, emphasis has been placed on land uses that would potentially stimulate revitalization in developed areas and physically enhance the existing and planned neighborhoods in which they occur. Facilitating connections between the various city neighborhoods is another important goal with the desired consequence being to attract residents from throughout the city to each area's unique attributes. Specific policies have been developed to address the needs of targeted areas within the update area boundary. These general policies are intended to protect or improve, through ultimate design and construction, those attributes that contribute to a positive city image and circulation improvements that facilitate mobility throughout the city and between the city and surrounding jurisdictions. Discretionary Actions The proposed discretionary actions to be considered by the Chula Vista City Council associated with the General Plan Update consist of the following: City of Chula Vista General Plan Amendment A General Plan Amendment is required for the comprehensive update to the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The proposed Chula Vista General Plan Amendment includes provisions to: (I) Adopt a new General Plan text, comprised of five new elements consisting of revisions to the elements comprising the current General Plan, with the exception of the current Housing Element. The proposed new elements consist of the following: Land Use and Transportation Element; Economic Development Element; Public Facilities and Services Element; Growth Management Element; and Environmental Element. The proposed General Plan text also contains additional chapters, including an implementation chapter. (2) Adopt a new General Plan Land Use Diagram and text to provide for land use changes within focused areas as described in the preceding pages and to establish the following new land use designations: Mixed Use Residential, Mixed Use Commercial, Mixed Use Transit Focus Area, and Urban Core Residential (28-60 dwelling units/acre). This component of the General Plan Amendment includes the redesignation of areas currently designated as Open Space throughout the General Plan Area to Open Space, Open Space Preserve, Open Space-Active Recreation in accordance with the definition of these proposed land use categories in the proposed Land Use and Transportation Element. For example, the land use designation of all areas within the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Preserve are proposed to be changed to Open Space Preserve. 7 lOR ;<7 The plan amendment also adds a Town Center and University Study Area to the Special Plan Area category. (3) Adopt a new Circulation Diagram and Transit System City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Couservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan The proposed General Plan amendment includes a modification of the General Plan Land Use Diagram to ensure that the land use diagram corresponds to the adopted Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan is part of the General Plan. Amend the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan to implement a mapping correction , to change approximately 45 acres of active recreation land uses within the Otay River Valley to Preserve. Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) AmendmentJOtay Ranch Resource Management Plan Amendment Amendments are proposed to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP), consisting ofrevisions to the GDP text and to the GDP land use maps and tables that are consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment. These amendments correspond to the changes in the General Plan described above and are discussed in detail in Section 5.1.3.2 ofthe EIR. The proposed Chula Vista General Plan Amendment includes provisions to: (I) Amend the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) and Resource Management Plan (RMP) to redefine the eastern and southern boundaries of Villages 9, 10 and 11 consistent with the adopted City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. (2) Amend the Otay Ranch GDP and RMP to include approximately 52 acres of developable University land in the southeastern portion of Salt Creek consistent with the adopted City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. (3) Amend the General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP land use maps to clarify the development areas that have been acquired for open space purposes within Villages 14, 15 and Bella Lago. Repeal f the Moutgomery Specific Plan The proposed General Plan Update Land Use and Transportation Element contains a Southwest Area Plan, which covers the Montgomery Specific Plan area. Relevant 8 /0 if - -z8 policies and other provisions from the 1988 Montgomery Specific Plan are included within the Southwest Area Plan, along with current information and new policies and provisions. As a result, the Montgomery Specific Plan is proposed to be repealed with the adoption of the General Plan Update. The Southwest Area Plan calls for preparation of other, more focused specific plans for several districts including Palomar/Gateway, West Fairfield, Main Street, and South Third Avenue. Proiect Goals and Obiectives The primary goals and objectives ofthe General Plan Update project are as follows: . Continue to expand the local economy by providing a broad range of business, , employment and housing opportunities that support an excellent standard of living, and improve the ability for residents to live and work locally. . Maintain and enhance a high quality-of-life for the City's residents by developing and sustaining a healthy, strong and diverse economic base. . Protect and increase the industrial land use base to provide for higher-value added jobs, and to support the retention and expansion of local businesses and industries. . Provide for sufficient land use capacity and density to support revitalization and redevelopment of west em Chula Vista. . Provide a mix of land uses that meets community needs and generates sufficient revenue to sustain exemplary community services, facilities and amenities. . Ensure that services and infrastructure expand to match needs created by growth and redevelopment, and to support economic prosperity. . Foster a sustainable circulation/mobility system that provides mode of transportation choices, is well-integrated with the city's land uses, and connects the city both internally and to the region. . Target higher density and higher intensity development into specific focus areas in order to protect stable residential neighborhoods and to create mixed-use urban environments that are oriented to, and adequately support, transit and pedestrian activity. This targeted development will be well-designed, compatible with adjacent areas, and contribute to the continued vitality of Chula Vista's economy. . Continue to develop Chula Vista as a city with a distinct identity. 9 /O/!',;J.Cj . Ensure sufficient housing capacity, density, and variety to meet existing and future needs, and to support the provision of affordable housing. . Re-emphasize and revitalize the older, downtown Chula Vista core area as the heart of the city through a combination of public, civic, shopping, employment, entertainment, and residential uses. . Provide and maintain sufficient land for siting a major, four-year college or university, and ensure surrounding land use types, mixes, and residential densities necessary to support its viability and realization. . Support and encourage ~ustainable development patterns and practices, such as resource conservation, environmental management, transportation management, and compact development in both public and private projects. . Provide ample access to, and connections between, Chula Vista's open space and trails network and the regional network, in accordance with the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, Chula Vista Greenbelt Master Plan, and Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan. . Conserve Chula Vista's sensitive biological and other valuable natural resources. . Protect Chula Vista's important historic resources. IV. BACKGROUND State law (Government Code Section 65300) requires that each city and county adopt a comprehensive General Plan. The proposed project fulfilled this requirement by updating the City's adopted General Plan, which was last comprehensively updated on July 11, 1989 and subsequently amended in 1993 to include planning for the Otay Ranch project. The General Plan team of staff and consultants prepared baseline and areawide studies for the City of Chula Vista. These baseline studies were prepared to present the most recent data available for the City of Chula Vista. The reports included a description of current regulatory requirements that would be relevant to planning and development of the city, as well as a description of current planning activities in the region. The baseline and areawide studies addressed aspects of the community that were considered in the planning process, such as circulation, public services and facilities, biological resources, geology, paleontology, cultural resources, noise, and air quality. These documents 10 /0,4 30 provide much of the technical background data necessary to prepare the General Plan EIR. The City has maintained a website (http://www.chulavistaca.gov/City_Services/Develop- ment_ Services/Planning_Building/General_ Plan/default. asp ) to regularly disseminate General Plan Update information. Workshops, the Internet, and community meetings were part of an extensive outreach program to involve the public in tbe update of the General Plan. As part of the public outreach and participation program for the General Plan Update, the City Council authorized the formation of citizen committees. The committees helped guide the process and assisted in preparation of the Update by providing a means for ongoing involvement by key community stakeholder interests (e.g., education, business, enyironment, housing, community services, etc.), select City boards and commissions, and residents. The committee structure consisted of a Steering Committee, and three Subcommittees related to major topic areas of the General Plan Update: Economic Development; Enviromnent, Open Space & Sustainable Development; and Infrastructure & Services. Each Subcommittee consisted of 13 to 14 people and included representation from City boards and commissions, community organizations, and residents. The Steering Committee has 13 members, which includes one representative from each of the Subcommittees. The Steering Committee has provided oversight to the General Plan Update process, and facilitated communication among key stakeholders by providing a conduit for sharing information, issues, and the perspectives of diverse interests in the community. The three Subcommittees have served as a means to identify and discuss issues and concerns, key goals and objectives related to each of their particular subject areas. They have also reviewed information from related technical studies, and reviewed the draft General Plan elements within their subject areas. The EIR assessed the environmental impacts of all the discretionary actions related to the adoptionofthe General Plan Update and related plan amendments. It proposed an update of the City's General Plan, which was last comprehensively updated in 1989. It constitutes a Program EIR under the provisions of Section 15168 of the State CEQA Guidelines. A Program EIR allows for review of a series of contemplated actions. The City of Chula Vista and other agencies will be able to use information presented in this Program EIR to determine if additional environmental review is required for subsequent actions linked to the project. The document was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 as amended and the guidelines of the City ofChula Vista. II jo 1/:31 V.

All other materials required for the record of proceedings by Public Resources Code section 21167.6, subdivision (e) The custodian of the documeuts comprising the record of proceedings is the Clerk to the City Council, whose office is located at 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California, 91910. The City Council has relied on all of the documents listed above in reaching its decision on the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update, even if not every document was formally presented to the City Councilor City Staff as part of the City files generated in connection with the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update. Without exception, any documents set forth above not found in the project files fall into one of two categories. The first category are those documents that reflect prior planning or legislative decisions of which the City Council was aware in approving the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update. (See City of Santa Cruz v. Local Agency Formation Commission (1978) 76 Cal.App.3d 381, 391-392 [142 Cal.Rptr. 873]; Dominey v. Department of Personnel Administration (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 729, 738, fu. 6 [252 Cal.Rptr. 620].) The second category are those documents that influenced the expert advice provided to City Staff or consultants, who then provided advice to the City Council. For t~at reason, such documents form part of the underlying factual basis for the City Council's decisions relating to the adoption of City ofChula Vista General Plan Update. (See Pub. Resources Code, section 21167.6, subd. (e)(IO); Browning-Ferris Industries v. City Council of City of San Jose (1986) 181 Cal.App.3d 852, 866 [226 Cal.Rptr. 575]; Stanislaus Audubon Society, Inc. v. County of Stanislaus (1995) 33 Cal.AppAth 144, 153, 155 [39 Cal.Rptr.2d 54].) VI. FINDINGS REQUIRED UNDER CEOA Public Resources Code section 21002 provides in relevant part, that "it is the policy of the state that public agencies should not approve projects as proposed ifthere are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen 17 /0 fJ :3 7 the significant environmental effects of such projects[.]" (Emphasis added.) The same statute states that the procedures required by CEQA "are intended to assist public agencies in systematically identifying both the significant effects of proposed projects and the feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures which will avoid or substantially lessen such significant effects." (Emphasis added.) Section 21002 goes on to state that "in the event [that] specific economic, social, or other conditions make infeasible such project alternatives or such mitigation measures, individual projects may be approved in spite of one or more significant effects thereof." The mandate and principles announced in Public Resources Code section 21002 are implemented, in part, through the requirement that agencies must adopt findings before approving projects for which EIRs are required. (See Pub. Resources Code, section 21081, subd. (a); CEQA Guidelines, section 15091, sugd. (a).) For each significant environmental effect identified in an EIR for a proposed project, the approving agency must issue a written finding reaching one or more of three permissible conclusions, together with a brief of the rationale for each finding. . The first such finding is that "[ c ]hanges or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR." (CEQA Guidelines, section 15091, subd. (a)(1).) . The second permissible finding is that "[ s ]uch changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency." (CEQA Guidelines, section 15091, subd. (a)(2).) . The third potential finding is that "[ s ]pecific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR." (CEQA Guidelines, section 15091, subd. (a)(3).) Public Resources Code section 21061.1 defines "feasible" to mean "capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors." CEQA Guidelines section 15364 adds another factor: "legal" considerations. (See also Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors ("Goleta II") (1990) 52 Ca1.3d 553, 565 [276 Cal.Rptr. 410].) The concept of "feasibility" also encompasses the question of whether a particular alternative or mitigation measure promotes the underlying goals and objectives of a project. (City of Del Mar v. City of San Diego (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 410, 417 [183 Cal.Rptr. 898].) '''[F]easibility' under CEQA encompasses 'desirability' to the extent 18 /Ot-.J. }g that desirability is based on a reasonable balancing of the relevant economic, environmental, social, and technological factors." (Ibid.; see also Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Assn. v. City of Oakland (1993) 23 Cal.AppAth 704, 715 [29 Cal.Rptr.2d 182].) The CEQA Guidelines do not define the difference between "avoiding" a significant environmental effect and merely "substantially lessening" such an effect" The City must therefore glean the meaning of these terms from the other contexts in which the terms are used. Public Resources Code section 21081, on which CEQA Guidelines section 15091 is based, uses the term "mitigate" rather than "substantially lessen." The CEQA Guidelines therefore equate "mitigating" with "substantially lessening." Such an understanding of the statutory term is consistent with the policies underlying CEQA, which include the policy that I'public agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of such projects." (Pub. Resources Code, section 21002.) For purposes of these findings, the term "avoid" refers to the effectiveness of one or more mitigation measures to reduce an otherwise significant effect to a less than significant level. In contrast, the term "substantially lessen" refers to the effectiveness of such measure or measures to substantially reduce the severity of a significant effect, but not to reduce that effect to a less than significant level. These interpretations appear to be mandated by the holding in Laurel Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 Cal.App.3d 515, 519-527 [147 Cal.Rptr. 842], in which the Court of Appeal held that an agency had satisfied its obligation to substantially lessen or avoid significant effects by adopting numerous mitigation measures, not all of which rendered the significant impacts in question (e.g., the "regional traffic problem") less than significant. Although CEQA Guidelines section 15091 requires only that approving agencies specify that a particular significant effect is "avoid[ ed] or substantially lessen[ ed]," these findings, for purposes of clarity, in each case will specify whether the effect in question has been reduced to a less than significant level, or has simply been substantially lessened but remains significant. Moreover, although section 15091, read literally, does not explicitly require findings to address environmental effects that an ErR identifies as merely "potentially significant," these findings will nevertheless fully account for all such effects identified in the Final EIR. In short, CEQA requires that the lead agency adopt mitigation measures or alternatives, where feasible, to substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental impacts that would otherwise occur. Project modification or alternatives are not required, however, 19 ",,"1./- -' / ..",'v, where such changes are infeasible or where the responsibility for modifying the project lies with some other agency. (CEQA Guidelines, section 15091, subd. (a), (b).) With respect to a project for which significant impacts are not avoided or substantially lessened either through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures or a feasible environmentally superior alternative, a public agency, after adopting proper findings, may nevertheless approve the project if the agency first adopts a statement of overriding considerations setting forth the specific reasons why the agency found that the project's "benefits" rendered "acceptable" its "unavoidable adverse environmental effects." (CEQA Guidelines, sections 15093, 15043, subd. (b); see also Pub. Resources Code, section 21081, subd. (b).) The California Supreme Court has stated that "[t]he wisdom of approving. . . any developmpnt project, a delicate task which requires a balancing of interests, is necessarily left to the sound discretion of the local officials and their constituents who are responsible for such decisions. The law as we interpret and apply it simply requires that those decisions be informed, and therefore balanced." (Goleta 1I, 52 Cal.3d 553, 576.) VII. LEGAL EFFECT OF FINDINGS To the extent that these findings conclude that proposed mitigation measures outlined in the EIR are feasible and have not been modified, superseded or withdrawn, the City of Chula Vista ("City" or "decisionmakers") hereby binds itself and any other responsible parties, require implementation of those measures. These findings, in other words, constitute a binding set of obligations that will come into effect when the City adopts the resolution(s) approving the project. The adopted mitigation measures are express conditions of approval. Other requirements are referenced in the mitigation monitoring reporting program adopted concurrently with these findings, and will be effectuated through the process of implementing the project. VIII. MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM As required by Public Resources Code section 21081.6, subd. (a)(I), the City of Chula Vista, in adopting these findings, also adopts a mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) as prepared by the environmental consultant under the direction of the City. The program is designed to ensure that during project implementation, the 20 IJ I). .Il{~ ,. "' 7....1 applicant and any other responsible parties comply with the feasible mitigation measures identified below. The program is described in the document entitled City ofChula Vista General Plan Update Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. The MMRP will remain available for public review during the compliance period. IX. GROWTH INDUCEMENT Section 15126.2(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires a discussion of the ways in which the project could foster economic or population growth and remove obstacles to growth. The proposed Pref~rred Plan would accommodate an increase in population within the General Plan Area in comparison to the adopted General Plan (Table IX-I). New residents would locate in Chula Vista because of the diverse employment base and proposed new housing developments. TABLE IX-l INCREASE IN POPULA nON AND HOUSING UNITS OVER ADOPTED PLAN 2 3 Population Increase Over Adopted Plan 41,153 34,170 42,461 28,280 Increase in Housing Units Over Adopted Plan Scenario Preferred 16,638 13,681 16,903 11,709 NOTE: Population and dwelling units are for incorporated area of the city. The proposed General Plan Update would accommodate additional growth beyond existing conditions and beyond the level possible under the adopted General Plan. As such, people may choose to live in Chula Vista rather than elsewhere in the San Diego regIOn. SANDAG is the agency responsible for forecasting regional growth. They indicate that population grows in two ways: (I) natural increase, which results from the number of births over deaths; and (2) net migration, which is primarily based on the condition ofthe local economy (SANDAG 2003). The growth effects of the General Plan Update are manifest; therefore, in the issues associated with people electing to live and work in Chula Vista, rather than elsewhere in the region and beyond. The significance of those effects is contingent upon where they would have lived had this additional housing and employment capacity not been available. 21 /OA- ttf Because the General Plan establishes land uses that can accommodate growth, thereby removing a barrier to growth in the city, it is growth inducing. Therefore, the Preferred Plan will have a significant not mitigated growth inducing impact. Growth inducement is discussed in Chapter 7.0 of the EIR on Pages 600 and 601. The issues discussed in the Environmental Impact Analysis section of this EIR address the direct and indirect effects of this growth for each of the issues. The findings made below for those issues address the impacts resulting from growth and the required mitigation measures associated with the adoption ofthe Preferred Plan. x. CONSISTENCY WITH THE REGIONAL COMPREHENSNE PLAN (Rep) On July 23, 2004, the SANDAG Board of Directors adopted the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) for the San Diego region. The RCP serves as the long-term planning framework for the San Diego region. It provides a broad context in which local and regional decisions can be made that move the region toward a sustainable future--a future with more choices and opportunities for all residents of the region. The RCP integrates local land use and transportation decisions and focuses attention on future growth. The RCP contains an incentive-based approach to encourage and channel growth into existing and future urban areas and smart growth communities. Consistency with the RCP is presented in Chapter 6.0 ofthe EIR, pages 583-599. The goal of the RCP is to ensure a high quality of life for current and future generations and to work toward a society that has resolved its housing shortage, transportation problems, and energy issues, and provides healthy, desirable environments for people and nature. The Preferred Plan focus on smart growth and walkable communities minimizes much of the potential impacts associated with accommodation of growth. By promoting mobility through an increased jobslhousing balance, transit oriented development, increased densities and more extensive mixed-use developments, the Preferred Plan is consistent with the planning principles outlined in the RCP. The RCP defines a shared vision of the future and lays a foundation to achieve that future by improving connections between land use and transportation plans using smart growth principles, using land use and transportation plans to guide decisions regarding environmental and public facility investments; and focusing on collaboration and incentives to achieve regional goals and objectives (SANDAG 2004: 31). 22 /0 1. ~,:..L As recognized in the RCP, Chula Vista's draft general plan update takes two approaches to accommo- dating future growth. In several older areas west of Interstate 805, the plan proposes infill development and redevelopment zones. In the newer, eastern portion of the city, it proposes focusing development in master planned communities designed to support regional transit service., such as bus rapid transit (SANDAG 2004:42). The RCP identifies seven categories for smart growth in the San Diego area. These include: (I) Metropolitan Center, (2) Urban Center, (3) Town Center, (4) Community Center, (5) Transit Corridor, (6) Special Use Center, and (7) Rural Community. For each of these categories, SANDAh identifies the type and intensity of land use, and the transportation and transit issues associated with that land use. These categories are designed to promote mixed use, particularly associated with transit centers; human scale development with a strong pedestrian orientation, and nearby recreational facilities and public plazas. The RCP sets the following goals for area planning efforts (SANDAG 2004:76): L Focus future population and job growth away from rural areas and closer to existing and planned job centers and public facilities to preserve open space and to make more efficient use of existing urban infrastructure. 2. Create safe, healthy, walkable, and vibrant communities that are designed and built accessible to people of all abilities. 3. Integrate the development of land use and transportation, recognizing their interdependence. The Land Use and Transportation Element sets a series of goals and objectives that address these issues. Goal LUT 6.1 states "Safe, healthy, walkable, and vibrant communities with a balance of jobs and housing." To further this goal Policy LUT 4.2 encourages new development that is organized around compact, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods and districts in order to conserve open space resources, minimize infrastructure costs, and reduce reliance on the automobile. Higher density residential and mixed-use development would be completed in accordance with Policy LUT 5.13 that provides the following guidelines: . Create a pleasant walking environment to encourage pedestrian activity. . Maximize transit usage. 23 /~O/l. ~,j . Provide opportumlles for residents to conduct routine errands close to their residence. . Integrate with surrounding uses to become a part of the neighborhood rather than an isolated project. . Use architectural elements or themes from the surrounding neighborhood. . Provide appropriate transition between land use designations to minimize neighbor compatibility conflicts. XI. SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS AND MITIGA nON MEASURES The EIR identified a number of significant environmental effects (or "impacts") that the project will cause; some can be fully avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures, while others cannot be avoided. The project as described in these findings is the Preferred Plan of the General Plan Update (herein referred to as the Preferred Plan. L The project will result in significant environmental changes to the following issues: land use, landform alteration/aesthetics, cultural resources, paleontological resources, energy, transportation, air quality, noise, public utilities (water supply) and housing and population. These significant environmental changes or impacts are discussed in EIR #05-01 in Table 1-3 and in Chapter 5. Some of the impacts can be reduced below a level of significance with the mitigation measures described in the EIR and below. Certain impacts cannot be substantially lessened or avoided with mitigation; but, as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City Council has determined that the impacts are acceptable because of specific overriding considerations. Potential impacts were evaluated for the following issues and found not to be significant: biology, geology, agriculture, water quality, public utilities (except water supply), hazards, and mineral resources. The following subsections describe specific impacts, setting forth the reasons why they are significant and where applicable, unavoidable, the mitigation measures, and/or why the mitigation measures proved to be infeasible due to specific economic, social, or other considerations. 24 /yJ 'ril A. LAND USE Land Use: The Final ErR examined the Project's potential impact on Land Use III Section 5.1 Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result III a significant impact to land use ifit would: . Threshold I: Physically divide or adversely affect the community character of an established community. . Threshold 2: Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation or an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including but not limited to the General Plan, Specific Plan, Local Coastal Program, or Zoning Ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. . Threshold 3: Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or Natural Communities Conservation Plan. Impact: The Preferred Plan will adversely affect the community character of an established community (Section 5.1.3.1 - Pages 106-160) The General Plan Update was determined to have a significant impact on community character as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. It was determined to not have significant impacts related to applicable plans, policies, or regulations, or to conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan in accordance with Thresholds 2 and 3. Northwest Planning Area The Preferred Plan modifies designated land uses to allow for an increase of mixed-use development and focus on redevelopment efforts in the Urban Core, along gateways and major transit corridors. Changes to increase density and allow for a greater mix of uses facilitates transit goals and would be consistent with smart growth objectives. Adding more density and increasing the number of multi-family units within the Urban Core has the potential to cause an adverse effect on the community character of the existing residential neighborhoods adjacent to the areas of change. Implementation of the objectives and policies of the General Plan Update would lessen the impact that would result from the adoption of the plan. By requiring that the quality of existing, stable residential neighborhoods be maintained (Policy LUT 4.2), ensuring that development is sized and designed 25 /,1 "'. . '" ,- IV""'''-'' to be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods (Policy LUT 4.4), and ensure good street design to mirumize and control traffic in residential neighborhoods (Policy LUT 4.6) impacts of the Preferred Plan on community character would be limited. Additionally, Policy LUT 11.5 would require that development in accordance with the Preferred Plan would have a reduced impact on community character by requiring multi-family, commercial, and industrial development to go through a design review proc,ess. The design review process would promote quality architecture, landscape, and site design to enhance the character ofthe area. LUT 2 and 3 further control impacts to community character of the Northwest Planning Area. LUT 2 requires the establishment a program for development , to provide public amenities and/or community services necessary to support urban development and LUT 3 focuses on the urban design and form of new development and redevelopment in a manner that blends with and enhances Chula Vista's character and qualities, both physical and social. While the adoption of the objectives and polices discussed above would limit the community character impacts associated with the adoption of the Preferred Plan, the impacts would be reduced but not eliminated. The objectives and policies do not completely mitigate the impact because development standards have not been developed. Specific development standards are developed through subsequent planning and zoning actions. The needed standards for development occur at the time Redevelopment Plans or Specific Plans are prepared and zoning is established and applied. Without those standards and these actions, impacts remain significant. Specific objectives and policies are proposed to preserve the character and retain the quality of the adjacent existing, residential neighborhoods within each of the districts. The following policies would limit the community character impacts of the Preferred Plan within the five districts of the Urban Core Subarea. . Downtown Third Avenue District - Policies LUT 50.12, 50.13, and 50.16 . H Street Corridor District - Policy LUT 2.4, 3.1, 52.7, and 53.4 . Interstate 5 Corridor District - Policies LUT 54.6, 55.11, 55.12, 56.7, 57.6,58.8,58.9, and 58.11 . Mid-Broadway District - Policies LUT 59.7 and 59.8 . Mid-Third District - Policies LUT 60.2 and 60.3 These policies would reduce impacts to community character within the five districts of the Urban Core Subarea from the implementation of the Preferred Plan, but not to below a level of significance. While the policies require 26 /011 /,,&, design standards and guidelines be prepared that incorporate and preserve the traditional character of the districts and ensure compatibility with the existing residential neighborhoods by including design and step back guidelines to visually blend with the adjacent existing residential neighborhood, the design standards and guidelines cannot be developed with available information. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans or implementing zoning is developed impacts remain significant." The Preferred Plan proposes high-rise buildings in the Mixed-Use Transit Focus Areas in the area of H Street and Fourth Avenue and in the area near the E and H Street Trolley Station. The extent to which a high-rise building results in a significant community character impact depends upon its design and setting. Policies associated with Objective LUT 2 and Policies LUT 49.16 and LUT 53.4 listed above establish policies and development standards through the Urban Core Specific Plan that address the development of high- rise buildings. These policies reduce impacts to community character from the development of high-rise buildings resulting from development of the Preferred Plan, but not to below a level of significance. While the policies require the preparation of urban design standards for such issues as building heights and massing, public view corridors, circulation linkages, and the appearance of important gateways within the Mixed-Use Transit Focus Area, development of these standards will be done as part of the Urban Core Specific Plan and cannot be developed with current available information. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Future discretionary actions are not permitted by right and will require additional review. Subsequent to the preparation of the dEIR, it has been proposed that a "mid- rise" height designation be established at the Transit Focus Area at Fourth Avenue and H Street. Such a designation would reduce the land use impacts of the Preferred Plan, but not to below a level of significance. The reason that a significant impact would remain stems from the fact that even with this modification, the project lacks specific design standards and zoning. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Southwest Planniug Area Within the Montgomery Subarea, the objectives and policies, as well as changes to existing land use designations, are intended to focus 27 !rJ/j_':/? redevelopment efforts generally south of L Street along the South Broadway, South Third Avenue, and Main Street corridors, and on either side ofI-5 in the vicinity of the Palomar Street Trolley and the West Fairfield area. Among the important goals for this area is facilitation of economic opportunities through appropriate designation of transit-oriented, industrial, commercial and higher density residential in mixed-use or other appropriate density to facilitate smart growth planning. As with the Northwest Planning Area, tte General Plan Update would reduce impacts to adjacent parcels by requiring that the quality of existing, stable residential neighborhoods be maintained (Policies LUT 4.2, 4.3), ensuring that development adheres to quality design standards (Policy LUT 4.4), and ensure good street design to minimize and control traffic in residential neighborhoods (Policy LUT 4.6). Implementation of citywide and specific policies for the Montgomery Subarea is intended to facilitate revitalization while preserving community assets. Specific objectives and policies are proposed to preserve the character and retain the quality of the adjacent existing, residential neighborhoods within each of the districts. The following policies would reduce impacts to adjacent land uses within the five districts of the Montgomery Subarea from the adoption of the Preferred Plan. . South Third Avenue District-Policies LUT 41.13, 41.14, 41.15 . South Broadway District-Policies LUT 42.14, 42.15, 42.16 . Palomar Gateway District-Policies LUT 43.1,43.10 . West Fairfield District-Policy LUT 44.1 and 44.11 . Main Street District-Policies LUT 45.5, 45.13, and 45.14 These policies would reduce community character impacts by requiring that design guidelines and zoning standards be prepared for future development, improving circulation between this and other areas of the city, upgrading commercial activity centers and providing for the protection and enhancement of existing residential neighborhoods by increasing residential, retail, commercial and professional services through mixed-use development. These policies as well as Policies LUT 3.1, 3.2, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, and 11.1 through 11.5 would lessen the effect that the Preferred Plan have on community character. The existing neighborhood community character within the Southwest Planning Area consists of several mature neighborhoods, including Harborside, Castle Park, Otay Town, Woodlawn Park, Broderick Acres, Whittington Subdivision, and West Fairfield. Th~ planning area has a grid street pattern and a diversity of land uses, including a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial businesses that, in some cases, have evolved over time without adequate planning, and have resulted in land use conflicts. 28 10 fl'- '18 Among the important goals for this area is facilitation of economic opportunities through appropriate designation of transit-oriented, industrial, commercial and higher-density residential in mixed-use or other appropriate density to facilitate smart growth planning. While the adoption of the objectives and policies discussed above would limit the community character impacts in the Southwest Planning, Area associated with the adoption of the Preferred Plan would be reduced but not eliminated. The objectives and policies do not completely mitigate the impact because development standards have not been developed. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are ih1plemented impacts remain significant. While the Preferred Plan would conform to the MSCP, significant community character impacts to nearby wildlife in the San Diego Wildlife Refuge would result from development within the West Fairfield District under the Preferred Plan. The designation of existing land uses for more intensive development adjacent to the Wildlife Refuge is a significant impact because more intensive land uses could affect sensitive species. East Planning Area Proposed revisions to the City's adopted land use plan in the East Planning Area would result in adjustments to the boundaries and overall densities for residential, commercial, industrial, and public/quasi-public uses. The amount and location of open space and parklands would also be adjusted. Currently, the land within the areas of change within the East Planning Area is vacant; therefore, any proposed changes would cause an increase over the existing condition. Surrounding development in this area has occurred over the last several years and is progressing pursuant to the adopted Otay Ranch GDP. The Preferred Plan has the potential to cause an adverse effect on the community character of the surrounding villages within the East Planning Area. Specific objectives and policies are proposed to facilitate compatible land uses within and between each of the districts as well as preserve the character and retain the quality of the surrounding areas. The following policies would reduce community character impacts from implementation of the Preferred Plan within the East Planning Area: . Unincorporated Sweetwater Subarea - Policy LUT 66.1 . Western District - Policies LUT 77.2,77.579.1,79.4,79.5 . Central District - Policy LUT 81.3 . Otay Valley District - Policies LUT 82.1, 82.2, 82.3, 83.1 29 /} /' - :/~J . Eastern University District - Policies LUT 85.4, 85.6 . East Main Street Subarea - Policies LUT 70.1, 70.3, and 70.4 These policies reduce the impact to community character within and between the Districts in the East Planning Area but not to below a level of significance. The policies interconnect and unify the districts, including streets, transit, sidewalks, streetscapes, signage, lighting, building placement and form, and architectural character as well as intermixing uses that support and complement those contained in adjoining subareas. The objectives and policies do not completely mitigate the impact because development standards have not been developed. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. As detailed on Page 145 of the EIR, the Preferred Plan does not place residential uses in the buffer around the Otay Landfill. As such, it does not represent a significant land use impact relative to the buffer. Finding: The only mitigation measure available to lessen community character impacts would be the adoption of all zoning, specific plans together with design standards with the Preferred Plan. The Community Character Alternative lessens but does not fully mitigate impacts to Community Character. Pursuant to section l509l(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While the mitigation measures are feasible and will be completed, they do not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Because the current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort which will occur later, until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Explanation: While the adoption of the objectives and policies discussed above would limit the community character impacts associated with the adoption of the Preferred Plan they do not completely mitigate the impact because development standards have not been developed. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. 30 /01:70 ?c? Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.1-1 To mitigate the impacts of establishing planned industrial uses along the Otay River Valley, future projects for this area shall be evaluated and required to incorporate sufficient. buffers, source water protection devices, setbacks, and design features to avoid edge effects to sensitive biological resources to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator. 5.1-2 At the time projects are proposed within the West Fairfield . . District; a detailed land use assessment shall be performed showing, to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator, that the proposed project is compatible with adjacent land uses. Any development adjacent to the San Diego Wildlife Refuge shall adhere to the land use adjacency guidelines defined in the Chula Vista Subarea Plan, Section 7.5.2. These include, but are not limited to: sufficient buffers and design features, barriers (rockslboulders, signage, and appropriate vegetation) where necessary, lighting directed away from the refuge, and berms or walls adjacent to commercial areas and any other use that may introduce noises that could impact or interfere with wildlife utilization. Significance After Mitigation: Significant B. LANDFORM AL TERA nON/AESTHETICS Landform Alternation/Aesthetics: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Landform Alteration/Aesthetics in Section 5.2. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed project would result in a significant impact to landform alteration/aesthetics if it would: Threshold I: Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, or substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, and rock outcroppings. Threshold 2: Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality ofChula Vista. 31 'I" t'': r ;;' / v / ....,.-, Impact: The Preferred Plan will substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of Chula Vista. (Section 5.2.3.2 - Pages 199-211) The General Plan Update was determined to have a significant impact resulting from the degradation of the visual character of Chula Vista as evaluated in accordance with Threshold 2. It was determined to not have significant impacts related to scenic vistas or resources in .accordance with Threshold 1. Future growth has the potential to impact the visual environment through fundamental changes in land use and/or impacts to components of the landscape that contribute to visual quality. Adoption of the Preferred Plan would result in substantial changes to landforms and visual quality throughout the General Plan area. Increased density within the Urban Core and Montgomery Subareas would result in increased building heights and mass. In the east, currently undeveloped areas characterized by mesas, canyons, and hills would be developed with urban uses. Objectives LUT 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and II promote and place a high priority on quality architecture, landscape, and site design to enhance the image of Chula Vista. The design review process would occur for multi-family, commercial and industrial development, and redevelopment within redevelopment project area boundaries to determine their compliance with the objectives and specific requirements of the City's Design Manual, General Plan, and appropriate zone or Area Development Plans. Impacts remain significant because of the lack of speci fic design standards at this time. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Finding: The only measure available to fully reduce community character impacts would be the adoption of all zoning, specific plans together with design standards with the Preferred Plan. Because the current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort mitigation is available. In the Northwest and Southwest Planning Areas, until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented, impacts remain significant. In the East Planning Area development would change the existing character from an undeveloped to developed condition. This is a significant unmitgable impact. 32 ,Ii) f"!. ';).. it,t W Although landform alteration impacts remain unavoidable Mitigation Measure 5.2-1 will reduce those impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While the mitigation measure is feasible and will be completed, it does not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final Ern,. Explanation: Development completed in conformance with the proposed General Plan will result in grading of mesatops and hillsides representing a visual change of the area. Views of mesas and hillsides would be replaced by an urban landscape. While the change in the west is materially different than the conversion of open land to developed uses on the east, both have the , potential to result in significant aesthetic impacts. While the adoption of the objectives and policies discussed above would limit the landform alteration/aesthetic impacts associated with the adoption of the Preferred Plan, they do not completely mitigate the impact because development standards have not been developed. The current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort. Until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Because of the potential increase in height, bulk, and mass and because development in the east will further modify the open character of the landscape, visual quality impacts would be significant. In addition, because development in the East Planning Area would change the existing character from an undeveloped to developed condition, this is a significant unmitigated impact. Mitigation Measure: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.2- I Within the East Planning Area, prior to approval of grading plans, the applicant shall prepare grading and building plans that conform to the landform grading guidelines contained in the grading ordinance, Otay Ranch GDP, and General Plan. The plans shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building and the City Engineer. These plans and guidelines shall provide the following that serve to reduce the aesthetic impacts: 33 /e) ;:J. ~3 . A Landscape Design that addresses streetscapes, provides landscape intensity zones, greenbelt edge treatments, and slope treatment for erosion control. . Grading Concepts that ensure manufactured slopes that are contoured and blend and mimic with adjacent natural slopes. . Landscaping Concepts that provide for a transition from the manicured appearance of developed areas to the natural landscape in open space areas. . Landscaping Concepts that include plantings selected to frame , and maintain views. Landscaping should not block views created through grading and/or site design. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. C. CULTURAL RESOURCES Cultural Resources: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Cultural Resources in Section 5.4. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result III a significant impact to cultural resources if it would: . Threshold I: Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource as defined in State CEQA Guidelines 915064.5. . Threshold 2: Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. Impact: The Preferred Plan will cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource as defined in State CEQA Guidelines ~15064.5. (Section 5.4.3.1- Pages 249-252) The General Plan Update was determined to have a significant impact resulting from a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource as defined in State CEQA Guidelines 915064.5 as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. It was determined to not have a significant impact as a result of disturbing human remains in accordance with Threshold 2. 34 . /0/';'-5'1' The Preferred Plan represents potential increased development densities in the Northwest and Southwest Update Areas and increased potential for conversion of open areas to developed land uses in the East Update Area. In areas of the built environment, significant direct impacts could occur if, as a result of plan implementation, buildings determined to be historic were demolished or significantly altered. In open areas, there is the potential that future development, as permitted by the plan, could significantly impact historic and prehistoric archaeological sites. The Preferred Plan would not affect any formal cemeteries or known burials outside of formal cemeteries. When currently undeveloped areas are developed there is the potential that currently unknown human remains may , exist that would be disturbed through development. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the EIR to below a level of significance. Explanation: The Preferred Plan represents potential increased development densities in the Northwest and Southwest Update Areas and increased potential for conversion of open areas to developed land uses in the East Update Area. In areas of the built environment, significant direct impacts could occur if, as a result of plan implementation, buildings determined to be historic were demolished or significantly altered. In open areas, there is the potential that future development, as permitted by the plan, could significantly impact historic and prehistoric archaeological sites. Because there is the potential for future projects to impact resources that are, as yet unknown, a program is needed to identify those resources and avoid or lessen significant effects. Those measures include the process under which such effects can be identified and avoided. Implementation of the following measures and the policies identified above would reduce significant impacts to cultural resources to below a level of significance. In addition, Section 15064.5 (b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines indicates that: Generally, a project that follows the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving Rehabilitating Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings or the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (1995), 35 ._ J,4. !,J:> Weeks and Grimmer, shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less than a significant impact on the historical resource. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.4-1 Implementation of Policies LUT 12.7 and EE 9.1 shall include the following measures: 1. Any future development project that has not been previously exafnined shall be subject to a cultural resource surveyor review, to identify any specific resources that could be potentially affected by the proposed project. 2. In western Chula Vista, an archaeological survey shall be completed for any development project that includes previously undisturbed acreage and has not been previously examined or for which there is reason to expect a potentially significant historic or prehistoric archaeological resources, to identify any specific resources that could be potentially affected by the proposed project. 3. The City will promote maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, and preservation of historical resources. Where these will be undertaken, they will be conducted in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. 4. Prior to the approval of any projects that propose to demolish or significantly alter a potentially significant historic resource, as defined pursuant to applicable state and federal laws, an historic survey report shall be completed to determine potential historic significance. The determination of resource significance shall be made in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 and the program established as a result of Policies LUT 12.3, 12.4, 12.7, and 12.11 and EE 9.1, and shall be completed to the satisfaction of the appropriate decision maker. /J~.~ 5. In the event that significant resources could be adversely affected by the proposed action, as established in Policy LUT 12.12, a conservation program shall be implemented in accordance with applicable state and federal laws, to the satisfaction of the appropriate decision maker. The conservation program shall be designed to reflect the reason that the identified resource is considered important. Where appropriate for a standing historic structure that will not be preserved in place, conservation can include documentation to Historic American Building Survey (HABS) standards and/or relocation. For archaeological remains, conservation of a resource for which preservation in place is not feasible would inclUde the execution of a research design directed program of scientific data collection and analysis. Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant. D. PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES Paleontological Resources: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Paleontological Resources in Section 5.6. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed project would have a significant impact on paleontological resources ifit would: . Threshold I: Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. Impact: The Preferred Plan will directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. (Section 5.6.3 - Pages 272-273) The Preferred Plan was determined to have a significant impact resulting from the potential to destroy a unique paleontological resource as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. The City of Chula Vista is located in a highly sensllive area for paleontological resources. Development completed in conformance with the proposed plan has the potential to result in significant adverse impacts to paleontological resources. In areas of the built environment, significant direct impacts could occur if, as a result of plan implementation, sensitive geological formation were substantially disturbed during development. In open areas, 37 /':11'. :.:..7 there is the potential that future development, as permitted by the plan, could impact paleontological resources. Policies associated with Objectives EE 10 demonstrate Chula Vista's commitment to the protection of paleontological resources. Policy EE 10.1 requires that assessment and mitigation of impacts resulting from private development and public projects be completed in accordance with CEQA. This policy, however, would not preclude impacts to paleontological resources. Compliance with Objective EE 10 and policy EE 10.1 would reduce impacts to paleontological resources because Policy EE 10.1 would require that an assessment and mitigation of impacts resulting from private development and public projects be completed in accordance with CEQA. Application of Policy EE !O.l would reduce potential impacts to paleontological resources, to below a level of significance. The mitigation measures outlined below are designed to further the application of this policy Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(l) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that wil1 substantially lessen or avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the EIR to below a level of significance. Explanation: The City of Chula Vista is located in a highly sensitive area for paleontological resources. Development completed in conformance with the proposed General Plan has the potential to result in significant adverse impacts to paleontological resources. Because there is the potential for future projects to impact resources that are, as yet unknown, a program is needed to identify those resources and avoid or lessen significant effects. Those measures include the process under which such effects can be identified and avoided. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.6-1 On a case-by-case basis, the following grading thresholds shall be used by the appropriate decision maker to determine whether or not a proposed project may potentially result in significant impacts to sensitive paleontological resources: Sensitivity Rating High Moderate Zero-Low Excavation Volume and Depth Thresholds > 1000 cubic yards and >5 feet deep >2000 cubic yards and >5 feet deep Mitigation Not Required 38 c:-r.) /04-:;;;;0 5.6-2 It may be determined that a project may result in potentially significant impacts to sensitive paleontological resources if a known paleontological resource exists within the impact area of a project regardless of the volume and depth of excavation. If it is determined that potentially significant impacts to sensitive paleontological resources may result, then such impacts shall be mitigated by a pre-construction mitigation program or construction mitigation program, or both, to be determined prior to project approval by the appropriate decision maker. All mitigation programs shall be performed by a qualified professional paleontologist, defined here as an individual with a M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology who has proven experience in San , Diego . County paleontology and who is knowledgeable in professional paleontological procedures and techniques. Fieldwork may be conducted by a qualified paleontological monitor, defined here as an individual who has experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials. The paleontological monitor shall always work under the direction of a qualified paleontologist. Pre-construction mitigation. This method of mitigation is only applicable to instances where well-preserved and significant fossil remains, discovered in the assessment phase, would be destroyed during initial brush clearing and equipment move-on. The individual tasks of this program include: I. Surface prospecting for exposed fossil remains, generally involving inspection of existing bedrock outcrops but possibly also excavation of test trenches; 2. Surface collection of discovered fossil remains, typically involving simple excavation of the exposed specimen but possibly also plaster jacketing oflarge and/or fragile specimens or more elaborate quarry excavations of richly fossiliferous deposits; 3. Recovery of stratigraphic and geologic data to provide a context for the recovered fossil remains, typically including description of lithologies of fossil-bearing strata, measurement and description of the overall stratigraphic section, and photographic documentation ofthe geologic setting; jo3Jt - 51 4. Laboratory preparation (cleaning and repair) of collected fossil remains, generally involving removal of enclosing rock material, stabilization of fragile specimens (using glues and other hardeners), and repair of broken specimens; 5. Cataloging and identification of prepared fossil remains, typically involving scientific identification of specimens, inventory of specimens, assignment of catalog numbers, and entry of data into an inventory database; 6. Transferal, for storage, of cataloged fossil remains to an accredited institution (museum or university) that maintains pa1e~ntological collections (including the fossil specimens, copies of all field notes, maps, stratigraphic sections, and photographs); and 7. Preparation of a final report summanzmg the field and laboratory methods used, the stratigraphic units inspected, the types of fossils recovered, and the significance of the curated collection. Construction mitigation. Under this program, mitigation occurs while excavation operations are underway. The scope and pace of excavation generally dictate the scope and pace of mitigation. The individual tasks of a construction mitigation program typically include: I. Monitoring of excavation operations to discover unearthed fossil remains, generally involving inspection of ongoing excavation exposures (e.g., sheet graded pads, cut slopes, roadcuts, basement excavations, and trench sidewalls); 2. Salvage of unearthed fossil remains, typically involving simple excavation of the exposed specimen but possibly also plaster jacketing of large and/or fragile specimens, or more elaborate quarry excavations of richly fossiliferous deposits; 3. Recovery of stratigraphic and geologic data to provide a context for the recovered fossil remains, typically including description of lithologies of fossil-bearing strata, measurement and description of the overall stratigraphic section, and photographic documentation of the geologic setting; 40 , ) !rJr.;- ,~c, 4. Laboratory preparation (cleaning and repair) of collected fossil remains, generally involving removal of enclosing .rock material, stabilization of fragile specimens (using glues and other hardeners), and repair of broken specimens; 5. Cataloging and identification of prepared fossil remains, typically involving scientific identification of specimens, inventory of specimens, assignment of catalog numbers, and entry of data into an inventory database; 6. Transferal, for storage, of cataloged fossil remains to an accredited institution (museum or university) that maintains pal~ontological collections, including the fossil specimens, copies of all field notes, maps, stratigraphic sections and photographs; and 7. Preparation of a final report summanzmg the field and laboratory methods used, the stratigraphic units inspected, the types of fossils recovered, and the significance of the curated collection. Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant. E. ENERGY Energy: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Energy in Section 5.8. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result in a significant impact to energy ifit would: . Threshold I: Result in the available supply of energy to fall below a level considered sufficient to meet the City's needs or cause a need for new and expanded facilities. Impact: The Preferred Plan will result in the available supply of energy to fall below a level considered sufficient to meet the City's needs or cause a need for new and expanded facilities. (Section 5.8.3 - Pages 292-298) The General Plan Update was determined to have a significant impact on available energy as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. Policies associated with proposed Objectives EE 6, EE 7, and PFS 22 and PFS 23 would aid in reducing adverse energy impacts, but would not preclude projects that could result in significant energy consumption impacts. These 41 " I') r) (pi J .~. policies, and the programs currently implemented by the City, promote measures to reduce wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy and help reduce demand for peak energy demand. As discussed on pages 298 and 299 of the dEIR, impacts to energy are significant because there is no long-term assurance that energy supplies will be available in 2030, avoidance of energy impacts cannot be assured regardless of land use designation or population size. Although changes to planned land uses in the city would continue to implement the Energy Strategy Action Plan, San Diego Regional Energy Plan and Transit First Plan, implementation of the proposed land uses identified in the General Plan Update would result in impacts to energy resources as a result of anticipated growth. ! Finding: Because there is no assurance that energy resources will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the proposed General Plan Update, the impact remains significant and unmitigated. Although energy impacts remain unavoidable Mitigation Measure 5.8-1 will reduce those impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While mitigation measure 5.8-1 is feasible and will be completed, it does not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: While compliance with mitigation measure 5.8-1 and the policies associated with Objectives EE 6, EE 7, PFS 22, and PFS 23 would reduce energy related impacts, because there is no assurance that energy resources will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the Preferred Plan, the impact remains significant and urunitigated. The Reduced Project Alternative represents reduced development and as such would represent a reduced effect on energy. Because there is no guaranteed energy supply, however, there remains a significant, urunitigated impact. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.8-1 Continued focus on the Energy Strategy and Action Plan, that addresses demand side management, energy efficient and 42 /0 I.}' ! i!, " ".,~- renewable energy outreach programs for businesses aild residents, energy acquisition, power generation, and distributed energy resources and legislative actions, and continuing implementation of the CO2 Reduction Plan will lessen the impacts from energy. Because there is no assurance that energy resources will be available to adequately serve the projected increase resulting from the proposed General Plan Update, however, impacts remain significant. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. F. TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION, AND ACCESS Traffic, Circulation, and Access: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Traffic, Circulation, and Access in Section 5.10, Transportation. Thresholds of Significance: . Threshold I: The adoption of the Urban Core Roadway Classifications contained in the proposed General Plan Update would result in a significant impact if adoption of an urban street system would not provide an adequate urban amenities program, and would not facilitate multimodal transportation systems sufficient to allow the City's Urban Core to achieve the mobility required to serve proposed land use densities. . Threshold 2: A significant impact to circulation would occur if changes to the land use and the circulation plans would result in the following: A. For non-Urban Core circulation element roadways (Expressway, Prime Arterial, Major Street, Town Center Arterial, Class I Collector): A.I. A roadway segment that currently operates at LOS C or better and with the proposed changes would operate at LOS D or worse at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. A.2. A roadway segment that currently operates at LOS D or E and with the proposed changes would operate at LOS E or F at General Plan buildout respectively, or which operates at LOS D, E, or F and would worsen by 5 percent or more at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. B. For Urban Core Circulation Element roadways (Gateway Street, Urban Arterial, Commercial Boulevard, Downtown Promenade): 43 joIJb3 B.1. A roadway segment that currently operates at LOS D or better and with the proposed changes would operate at LOS E or F at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. B.2. A roadway segment that currently operates at LOS E would operate at LOS F at General Plan buildout, or which operates at LOS E or F and would worsen by 5 percent or more at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. C. For freeways: C.l A freeway segment that currently operates at LOS C or better and with the proposed dhanges would operate at LOS D, E, or F at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. C.2 A freeway way segment that currently operates at LOS D or E would operate at LOS E or F at General Plan buildout respectively, or which operates at LOS D, E, or F and would worsen by 5 percent or more at General Plan buildout is considered a significant impact. Impact: The Preferred Plan will cause circulation impacts to Non-Urban Core Roadways and to Freeways (Section 5.10.3.2 - Pages 349-364) The General Plan Update was determined to not have a significant impact resulting from the adoption of the Urban Core Roadway System as evaluated in accordance with Threshold 1. It was determined to have a significant impact as a result of direct impacts to roadway segments as evaluated in accordance with Threshold 2. Non Urban Core Roadways The Preferred Plan represents a significant impact to 15 non-Urban Core roadway segments with respect to Threshold 2a and 2c. No impacts will occur under Threshold 2b. . Finding: Because the impacts to the roadway system are based on segment capacity, and the operational improvements outlined below do not increase that capacity, impacts to transportation remain significant. Mitigation Measures 5.10-1 and 5.10-2, however are feasible and will reduce circulation impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While the mitigation measures 5.10-1 and 5.10-2 are feasible and lJ4):. &4 , will be completed, they do not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final ElR. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative increases the roadway capacity for these impacted segments. As such, it would lessen this impact to below a level of significance. As discussed in Section XII of these findings, this alternative is infeasible. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative identified in the EIR.. Explanation: Operational improvements would reduce impacts but not necessarily to 'a level less than significant. The 15 roadway segments identified in the EIR as having a significant impact before mitigation will have a significant impact after mitigation because the identified mitigation measure will not increase the capacity of area roads. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.10-1 Prior to issuance of building permits, individual projects shall either contribute to the existing Traffic Signal Fee Program for applicable projects in Chula Vista or secure and construct the improvements specified in Table 5.10-5 of the EIR that are within the area of benefit to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. For projects in eastern Chula Vista, the existing Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program and the Traffic Signal Fee Program collects fees from proposed developments on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis and allocates the funds to construct needed transportation infrastructure in eastern Chula Vista. The Growth Management Program monitors traffic flow on key arterial streets, and provides a means to "meter" the rate of development in order to limit traffic congestion. All three of these existing programs are in place to ensure that the direct traffic impacts of individual projects or the cumulative impacts associated with planned growth are disclosed and mitigated or avoided in accordance with CEQA. 5.10.2 For impacts to the freeway segments listed in Table 5.10-4 of the EIR, in order to mitigate impacts of the General Plan Update, the freeways will need to be widened to provide between one and three 45 ,_ 10/1 ",,';;;1 additional general purpose lanes (or the equivalent' capacity in HOV and/or managed lanes), depending on the segment Since the freeway system is developed and managed by Caltrans, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways, as such, mitigation is not within the authority of the City of Chula Vista sufficient to avoid the cumulative contribution to traffic on these roadways and the impact remains significant. Significance After Mitigation: Significant Freeways Under the Preferred Plan, significant impacts will occur to segments of Interstates 5 and 805 and State Routes 125 and 54. The following freeway segments that currently operate at LOS C or better are predicted to operate at LOS D or worse as a result of the adoption of the Preferred Plan and would, therefore, represent a significant impact: . 1-5 between SR-54 and E Street . 1-805 between H Street and Telegraph Canyon Road . 1-805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue . 1-805 between Orange Avenue and Main Street . SR-125 between SR-54 and Mount Miguel Road . SR- 125 between Mount Miguel Road and H Street . SR-54 between 1-5 and National City Boulevard Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines, any changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes can and should be adopted by such other agency. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by the California Department of Transportation, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways. Accordingly, mitigation is not sufficient to avoid the cumulative contribution to traffic on these roadways and the impact remains significant. Explanation: Since the freeway system is development and managed by the California Department of Transportation, completion of improvements needed to lessen the adverse effects can and should be adopted by Caltrans. 46 . ldf..f-0v Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.10-3 For impacts to the freeway segments listed in Table 5.10-2 of the EIR, mitigation consists of participating in area planning for freeway improvements. As part of this process, the City shall work with SANDAG to attempt to obtain TransNet, and other sources of funding, to improve the capacity of these freeway segments. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by the California Department of Transportation, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways, as suc!\., mitigation is not sufficient to avoid the cumulative contribution to traffic on these roadways and the impact remains significant. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. G. AIR QUALITY Air Quality: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Air Quality in Section 5.11. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result III a significant impact to air quality if it would: Threshold I: Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Threshold 2: Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Threshold 3: Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors). Threshold 4: Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Threshold 5: Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. The Preferred Plan was determined to have a significant impact as a result of the plan being out of conformance with the projections used for the Regional Air Quality /oJ7 (,,, 7 Strategies (RAQS) as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. It was determined that the Preferred Plan would not result in the violating of an air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected violation as specified in Threshold 2, but that it would result in a significant impact as a result of a cumulatively considerable net increase in a criteria pollutant, as assessed based on Threshold 3. The Preferred Plan will not expose a substantial number of people to substantial pollutant concentrations or objectionable odors as evaluated in accordance with Thresholds 4 and 5. Impact: The Preferred Plan will conflict with the implementation of the applicable air quality plan. (Section 5.11.3.1 - Pages 398-399) The Preferred Plan is not consistent with the growth projections of the local regional air quality plan as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. The current RAQS are based on the adopted General Plan. The basis for these plans is the distribution of population in the region as projected by SANDAG. Growth forecasting is based in part on the land uses established by the General Plan. Amending the General Plan to increase development potential would, necessarily, result in an inconsistency between the air quality strategy (that is based on the existing plan) and the amended plan. Because the proposed land use changes would be inconsistent with the adopted General Plan upon which the RAQS was based, the General Plan Update would not conform to the current RAQS. If a project is inconsistent with the City's General Plan, it cannot be considered consistent with the growth assumptions in the RAQS. Consequently, the proposed Preferred Plan is not considered consistent with the growth assumptions in the RAQS. This represents a significant impact. Because ozone impacts are a regional issue, they are not specifically associated with the land use changes associated with the proposed General Plan Update. Development under the proposed General Plan will result in the emission of ozone precursors. Because the region is considered non- attainment for ozone, development in accordance with the proposed General Plan will result in a cumulatively considerable net increase for a non- attainment pollutant, a significant adverse impact. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes can and should be adopted by such other agency. Explanation: Because the significant air impact stems from an inconsistency between the proposed plan and the plan upon which the RAQS were based, the only measure that can lessen this effect is the 48 lot'}. b3 review and revision of the RAQS based on the new General Plan. This effort is the responsibility of SANDAG and San Diego APCD and is outside the jurisdiction of the City. Revisions to SANDAG's RTP are anticipated in 2007. The current RAQS are based on the adopted General Plan. The No Project Alternative would implement the adopted General Plan therefore, implementation of the No Project alternative, as discussed in Chapter 10 of the EIR, would reduce this impact below a level of significance. The infeasibility of the No Project Alternative is described in Section XII of these findings. Mitigation Measures: Because the significant air impact stems from an inconsistency between the proposed General Plan Update and the adopted General Plan upon which the RAQS were based, the only measure that can lessen the Threshold I effect is the revision of the RAQS based on the updated General Plan. This effort is the responsibility of SANDAG and San Diego APCD and is outside the jurisdiction of the City. As such, no mitigation is available to the City. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. Impact: The Preferred Plan will result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (Section 5.11,3.3 - Pages 400-403) The Preferred Plan will result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of PM 10. Since the region is not in compliance with the PMIO standard and because the average daily emission is anticipated to increase, impacts are significant. PMIO emissions result from construction of projects and from daily operations in the City. The mitigation measure detailed below will reduce PMIO from construction activities. Until the region is in compliance with the PMIO and Ozone standards, impacts from operations remain significant. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While mitigation measure 5.11-1 is feasible and will be completed, it does not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through 49 /04 09 these findings. Because the region is not in compliance with the state PMlOstandard, the operational impacts of the development of the land uses associated with the Preferred Plan represent a significant cumulative air impact. Until the region is in compliance with the regional PMlO standard the cumulative impact will remain. Since it is a regional issue mitigation for the cumulative effect is unavailable at the Preferred Plan level. Mitigation Measure 5.11-1 Mitigation of PMIO impacts requires active dust control during construction. As a matter of standard practice, the City shall require the following standard construction measures during construbtion to the extent applicable: I. All unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other acceptable San Diego APCD dust control agents during dust-generating activities to reduce dust emissions. Additional watering or acceptable APCD dust control agents shall be applied during dry weather or windy days until dust emissions are not visible. 2. Trucks hauling dirt and debris shall be properly covered to reduce windblown dust and spills. 3. A 20-mile-per-hour speed limit on unpaved surfaces shall be enforced. 4. On dry days, dirt and debris spilled onto paved surfaces shall be swept up immediately to reduce resuspension of particulate matter caused by vehicle movement. Approach routes to construction sites shall be cleaned daily of construction-related dirt in dry weather. 5. On-site stockpiles of excavated material shall be covered or watered. 6. Disturbed areas shall be hydroseeded, landscaped, or developed as quickly as possible and as directed by the City and/or APCD to reduce dust generation. 50 /OFi..70 7. To the maximum extent feasible: Heavy-duty construction equipment with modified combustion/fuel injection systems for emissions control shall be utilized during grading and construction activities. Catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment shall be used. 8. Equip construction equipment with prechamber diesel engines (or equivalent) together with proper maintenance and operation to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, to the extent available and! feasible. 9. Electrical construction equipment shall be used to the extent feasible. 10. The simultaneous operations of multiple construction equipment units shall be minimized (i.e., phase construction to minimize impacts). Significance after Mitigation: With the application of these measures, significant impacts resulting from projected PMIO impacts from construction would be mitigated. Until the region is in compliance with the PMIO and Ozone standards, impacts from operations remain significant. H. NOISE Noise: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Noise in Section 5.12. Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result in significant noise impacts if it would: . Threshold 1: Result in exposure of people to excessive noise. . Threshold 2: Result in the generation of excessive noise. . Threshold 3: Expose people residing or working within an established Airport Influence Area to excessive noise levels. 51 , / _1.....} ,on ,/ Impact: The Preferred Plan will expose people to excessive noise. (Section 5.12.3.1 - Pages 438-454) The Preferred Plan would result in a significant impact by potentially exposing people to excessive noise as evaluated in accordance with Threshold I. A significant impact would not result from either the generation of excessive noise nor the exposure of people residing or working within an established Airport Influence Area to excessive noise as detailed in Thresholds 2 and 3. Increases in traffic on eXlstmg roadways, however, will result m nOIse increases of between 3 and 9 decibels for receivers adjacent to these roadways. This intrease is a significant adverse impact. Finding: Pursuant to section I 5091 (a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While the mitigation measure is feasible and will be completed, it does not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: Lessening the noise levels to existing homes adjacent to circulation element roadways would require a lot-by-lot review of potential exterior use areas and an evaluation of the acoustical performance of each building exposed to the increase. The exterior analysis would assess the feasibility of reducing noise levels to outdoor use areas through the construction of barriers or other measures, and the interior review would require consideration of the effectiveness of existing windows and doors, the adequacy of existing construction, and the need for retrofit. Since this level of analysis is infeasible at the General Plan stage impacts remain significant and not mitigated. None of the alternatives discussed in the EIR reduce traffic on area roadways sufficiently to avoid a cumulative noise impact to existing homes along circulation element roadways. Mitigation Measure: Lessening the noise levels in these areas would require a lot-by-lot review of potential exterior use areas and an evaluation of the acoustical performance of each building exposed to the increase. The exterior analysis would assess the feasibility of reducing noise levels to outdoor use areas through the construction of barriers or other measures, and the interior review would require consideration of the effectiveness of existing windows and doors, the adequacy of existing construction, and the need for retrofit. Since this level of analysis is infeasible at the General Plan stage impacts remain significant and not mitigated. 52 /)I'~ ...-;:1 ) ./ .".~, Significance after Mitigation: Significant. L PUBLIC UTILITIES Public Utilities: The Final EIR examined the Project's potential impact on Public Utilities in Section 5.14. POTABLE WATER Thresholds of Significance: The proposed General Plan Update would result m a significant impact to water supply and distribution if it would: . Threshold I: Require or r~sult in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. . Threshold 2: Require new or expanded supplies or facilities to meet projected needs. . Threshold 3: Result in the proposed General Plan Update being inconsistent with the UWMP prepared by the San Diego County Water Authority. Impact: The Preferred Plan will result in the need for construction or expansion of water treatment facilities that could cause significant environmental effects. (Section 5.14.1.3 - Pages 514-515) The Preferred Plan increases development potential in each update area of the city with a corresponding increased demand for water would require corresponding improvements to treatment and distribution facilities. Significant impacts could occur as a result of the construction of these projects relative to Threshold I. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. Explanation: At this level of planning, the extent of the effects of the provision of system improvements is speculative because the nature and location of those improvements have not been determined. Without detail regarding the nature of the improvements needed, impacts and mitigation measures of those improvements can not be identified This increased demand for water would require corresponding improvements to treatment and distribution facilities. Significant impacts could occur as a result of the construction of these projects. At this level of planning, the extent of /) ~ . :1;;:' those effects is speculative because the nature and location of those improvements have not been determined. This is a significant unmitigable adverse impact. Significance after Mitigation: Significant. Impact: The Preferred Plan will resnlt in demands for new or expanded supplies to meet projected needs. (Section 5.14.3.1 - Pages 515-517) The Preferred Plan increases development potential in each update area of the city with a corresponding increased demand for water. At this time it is not possible to state conclusively that sufficient water supplies would available for , individual projects facilitated by adoption of the Preferred Plan. Because contracts for water do not currently exist for the buildout condition of the City, the potential lack of an adequate water supply is a significant adverse impact. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. While mitigation measures 5-14.1 and 5.14-2 are feasible and will be completed, they do not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: While compliance with the policies associated with Objectives PFS 2 and 3 and implementation of the mitigation measures identified above would reduce the impact to water supply; however, because there is no assurance that water supply will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the proposed General Plan Update, the impact remains significant and unmitigated The SDCW A has developed the UWMP and updates it every five years using SANDAG's regional growth forecasts. The UWMP is considered an adequate plan; however, it does not ensure adequate supply Mitigation Measnres: 5.14-1 For any residential subdivision with 500 or more units or any commercial project of over 500,000 square feet, any CEQA compliance review shall include demonstration of compliance with the requirements of SB 610. 5.14-2 For any residential subdivision with 500 or more units, any CEQA compliance review shall include demonstration of compliance with the requirements of SB 221. 54 leJ fJ r7'f Significance after Mitigation: Significant. Impact: The Preferred Plan will result in the proposed General Plan Update being inconsistent with the UWMP prepared by the San Diego County Water Authority. (Section 5.14.1.3 Page 511) Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines, any changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes can and should be adopted by such other agency. Since the UWMP is the responsibility of the SDCW A the City does not have the ability to ensure that the UWMP includes the land use assumptions , resulting from ihe adoption of the Preferred Plan. Explanation: The UWMP is based on SANDAG's regional growth forecasts, which are in large part based on adopted General Plans. As discussed below, the proposed General Plan Update would increase development potential within the update areas of the city of Chula Vista. Since SANDAG's present 2030 Regional Growth Forecast is based on currently adopted General Plans within the region, Chula Vista's proposed General Plan capacities are not included in the current UWMP. These plan modifications would result in an inconsistency between UWMP forecasts and Chula Vista's General Plan. Because there will be an inconsistency, this is a significant short -term impact to the provision of water in the city until the SDCW A is able to amend its UWMP based upon the updated General Plan. Mitigation: As previously discussed, the SDCW A has developed the UWMP and updates it every five years using SANDAG's regional growth forecasts. Eliminating this effect requires that the UWMP be brought up to date with the Preferred Plan. This action is within the jurisdiction of the SDCW A, and is outside the jurisdiction ofthe City of Chula Vista Significance after Mitigation: Significant. J. HOUSING AND POPULATION Thresholds of Significance: Impacts to housing and population would be significant if the proposed project: . Threshold I: Induces substantial population growth III an area, either directly or indirectly; 55 /o~-7<5 . Threshold 2: Displaces substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction or replacement of housing elsewhere; . Threshold 3: Displaces substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction or replacement of housing elsewhere. Impact: The Preferred Plan will induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly (Section 5.17.3.1 Pages 576-579) Preferred Plan would accommodate a substantial increase in the population that can be compared to the existing condition as evaluated in relation to Threshold 1. It would not displace a substantial number of people or houses necessitating the 'construction of housing elsewhere as evaluated under Thresholds 2 and 3. Finding: Pursuant to section l509l(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. Explanation: The Preferred Plan and all three Scenarios would result in a substantial increase in the population of Chula Vista because it would accommodate growth that may occur locally. It is, therefore, considered growth inducing. Growth inducing effects are described and evaluated in Chapter 7 of the EIR. The Preferred Plan will result in land use designations that permit an increase in housing units of 40,862 that would accommodate a population of 104,600 people. West ofI-805, the proposed General Plan Update would direct that growth to developed areas of the City. East of I-80S the potential increase in population would occur in areas not currently developed. The environmental impacts associated with this increased population are discussed in the individual topical sections of this report. Impact to issues, such as traffic, air quality, noise, community character, land use, utilities and services, cultural and biological resources, geology, soils, and energy due to population and housing increases from the adoption of the Preferred Plan and all three Scenarios are discussed in the Sections 5.1 through 5.16 and Chapter 7 of the EIR. Because the Preferred Plan would induce growth it is a significant impact in accordance with Threshold I. Mitigation Measure:. Impacts resulting from the projected population growth and the development permitted by the Preferred Plan or any of the Scenarios and associated mitigation measures are described in the individual sections of this report. Impacts in accordance with Threshold I 56 . /04.7b are significant because the plan accommodates an increase in population. No mitigation is available to avoid this effect, because adoption of the Preferred Plan or any of the Scenarios will result in that potential increase. Significance after Mitigation: Significant. XII. CUMULATIVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Cumulative impacts are those,which "are considered when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects" (Pub. Resources Code section 21082.2, subd. (b)). The analysis in the EIR for the General Plan Update relies on regional planning documents, in accordance with Section 15130(b)(I)(B), to serve as a basis for the majority of analysis of the cumulative effects of the proposed General Plan Update. The following regional plans are the foundation for a majority of the cumulative analysis in this section: SANDAG Regional Comprehensive Plan; MSCP; Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin; Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP); and the Regional Water Facilities Master Plan. These plans are discussed in Section 5.0 and 6.0 of the EIR. They are on file at the City ofChula Vista and are available for review. In formulating mitigation measures for the project, regional issues and cumulative impacts have been taken into consideration. Many of the mitigation measures adopted for the cumulative impacts are similar to the project level mitigation measures. This reflects the inability of the lead agency to impose mitigation measures on surrounding jurisdictions (i.e., City of San Diego, City of National City, Caltrans, and Mexico) and the contribution of these jurisdictions to cumulative impacts. The Preferred Plan will result in the following irreversible cumulative environmental changes. Cumulative Impacts are discussed in Chapter 6.0 of the Final EIR. 57 /i1f} -I. 'j I :.,r , A. LANDFORM ALTERATION/AESTHETICS Impact: Development of the project could result in significant cumulative impacts to landforms and visual quality. Cumulative impacts to landform alteration and aesthetics are discussed in Section 6.2 of the E1R. Finding: The only mitigation measure available to lessen community character impacts would be the adoption of all zoning, specific plans together with design standards with the Preferred Plan. The Community Character Alternative lessens but does not fully mitigate impacts to Community Character. , Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Because the current project is a General Plan Update and the development of design standards is a zoning and specific plan effort which will occur later, until future Specific Plans are developed and zoning specifications are implemented impacts remain significant. Explanation: Development in the East Planning Area would result in a significantly changed landform condition. Much of this area has not been previously developed and would be significantly changed when development occurs. As discussed in Section 5.2 of the EIR, landform alteration is a significant effect, both directly, through its development, and cumulatively as it adds to the general trend in the region of converting undeveloped land to developed land in response to population growth. The RCP concluded that the loss of views of significant landscape features and landforms would incrementally increase with implementation of the RCP and general plans within the region. Overall, future development within the proposed General Plan Update area would continue to gradually impact visual resources, and are cumulatively significant. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to landforms and visual quality, see EIR, Section 6.2. Mitigation Measure: Mitigation Measure 5.2-1 (Section 5.2.5.2, Page 214) described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: Significant 58 . p/}' :(;,/ B. CULTURAL RESOURCES Impact: Loss of cultural resources in the General Plan Update area would represent a cumulative impact. Cumulative impacts to cultural resources are discussed in Section 6A of the EIR. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant direct environmental effect as identified in the EIR to below a level of significance. Cumulative impacts to cultural resources, however, remain significant. ! Explauation: The continued pressure to develop or redevelop areas would result in incremental impacts to the historic record in the San Diego region. Regardless of the efforts to avoid impacts to cultural resources, the more that land is converted to developed uses the greater the potential for impacts to cultural resources. While any individual project may avoid or mitigate the direct loss of a specific resource, the effect is considerable when considered cumulatively. The RCP concluded that the loss of historic or prehistoric resources from the past, present, and probable future projects in the Southern CaliforniaINorthern Baja areas would contribute to cumulatively significant impacts to cultural resources. Implementation of the proposed General Plan Update, in conjunction with other future projects will result in a significant cumulative impact to cultural resources. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to cultural resources see EIR, Section 6A Mitigation Measures: Mitigation Measure 5 A-I described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: Cumulative impacts to cultural resources are significant. C. PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact: Development of the proposed project could cumulatively affect paleontological resources. Cumulative impacts to paleontology are discussed in Section 6.5 of the EIR. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the proj ect that will 59 I). t7 . 1'74 /; / / / substantially lessen or avoid the significant direct environmental effect as identified in the EIR to below a level of significance. Cumulative impacts to paleontological resources remain significant. Explanation: The City of Chula Vista is located in a highly sensitive area for paleontological resources. Development completed in conformance with the proposed General Plan has the potential to result in significant adverse impacts to paleontological resources. As with cultural resources, the continued pressure to develop undeveloped areas would result in incremental impacts to the paleontological record in the San Diego region. Regardless of the efforts to avoid impacts to these resources, the more that land is converted to developed uses the greater the potential for adverse impacts. While any individual project may avoid or mitigate the direct loss of a specific resource, the effect is considerable when considered cumulatively. The RCP concluded that the loss of historic or prehistoric resources from the past, present, and probable future projects in the Southern CaliforniaINorthern Baja areas would contribute to cumulatively significant impacts to paleontological resources. Implementation of the proposed General Plan Update, in conjunction with other future projects in the cumulative analysis areas will result in a significant cumulative impact to paleontological resources. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to paleontological resources, see EIR, Section 6.5 Mitigation Measures: Mitigation Measures 5.6-1 and 5.6-2 described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: Implementation of the proposed General Plan Update, in conjunction with other future projects in the cumulative analysis areas will result in a significant cumulative impact to paleontological resources. D. ENERGY Impact: Implementation of the proposed land uses identified in the General Plan Update has the potential to result in cumulative impacts to energy resources. Cumulative impacts to energy are discussed in Section 6.11 of the EIR. Finding: The potential increase in development represented by the proposed Preferred Plan has the potential to add incrementally to this demand and represents an unavoidable significant cumulative impact. Although energy impacts remain unavoidable Mitigation Measure 5.8-1 will reduce those impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the 60 (o/hfo project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: As population increases, demand for energy also increases. Because the development and management of energy resources are not presently within the control of the City, there is no assurance that an adequate supply of energy would be available. While it is not anticipated that an adequate supply of energy would not be available, experience has shown that shortages in energy supply can occur. Although the City has taken steps to limit the expanding need for energy, the potential increase in development represented by the proposed Preferred Plan has the potential to add incrementally to this demand and represents an unavoidable significant cumulative impact. The Preferred Plan projects an electrical demand of 438 million Kilowatts above existing demand, and 23.7 million therms above existing demand for natural gas (See Table 5.8-2 of the !EIR). Because these demands exceed the existing demand and there source of the energy to meet that demand is unknown, mitigation of the impact is infeasible. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to energy, see EIR, Section 6.11. Mitigation Measures: Mitigation Measure 5.8-1 described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: The potential increase in development represented by the proposed Preferred Plan has the potential to add incrementally to this demand and represents an unavoidable significant cumulative impact. E. TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION, AND ACCESS Impact: Cumulative impacts to roadway segments would occur with the adoption of the Preferred Plan. Cumulative impacts to traffic circulation and access are discussed in Section 6.8 of the EIR. Finding: Because the impacts to the roadway system are based on segment capacity, and the operational improvements outlined below do not increase that capacity, impacts to transportation remain significant. Mitigation Measures 5.10- 1 and 5.1 0-2, however are feasible and will reduce circulation impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. 61 '.., /011 Jl The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative increases the roadway capacity for these impacted segments. As such, it would lessen this impact to below a level of significance. As discussed in Section XII of these findings, this alternative is infeasible. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative identified in the EIR.. The alternative is not considered enviromnentally preferable to the Preferred Plan. Furthermore, and would not accomplish some of the goals and objectives associated with the proposed General Plan Update. The goals and objectives that the Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative would not meet are detailed in Section XII ofthese findings. Explanation: The traffic analysis conducted for this project employed the regional traffic database and modeling employed by SANDAG. As such, it included the projected growth for the region, including both growth in regional trips and anticipated expansion of the circulation system. Traffic effects identified in Chapter 5.10 of this EIR are significant. The traffic analyses included mitigation measures to reduce significant traffic impacts. However, not all impacts would be mitigated to below a level of significance. Therefore, significant and umnitigated cumulative traffic impacts are noted for the street network. The mitigation measure presented in Section 5.10.5 of this EIR would reduce some of the incremental cumulative impacts associated with the proposed General Plan Update, however, these measures would not reduce the cumulative traffic impacts to below a level of significance. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to roadway segments, see EIR, Section 6.8 Mitigation Measures: Mitigation Measures 5.10-1 through 5.10-3 described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measure presented in Section 5.10.5 of the EIR would reduce some of the incremental cumulative impacts associated with the proposed General Plan Update, however, these measures would not reduce the cumulative traffic impacts to below a level of significance. F. AIR QUALITY Impact: Implementation of the General Plan Update could contribute to a significant cumulative impact on regional air quality. Cumulative impacts to air quality are discussed in Section 6.7 of the EIR. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant direct enviromnental effect as identified in the EIR below a level of significance. Because the air basin is in non- 62 la ft-f)- compliance for Ozone and PMIO, the potential increase in residential units and the activities associated with population growth, even as mitigated in the Preferred Plan and as otherwise mitigated by the City in its CO2 Reduction Plan and Growth Management Program represents a cumulatively considerable and significant air quality impact. Explanation: Future development projects within the cumulative study area are anticipated to significantly impact the local street network, resulting in the potential for an increase in carbon monoxide (CO) hot spots. Because air quality, particularly ozone, is a regional issue not all measures needed to comply with state and federal standards are within the ability of Chula Vista to control. Mitigation of these regional issues requires coordination of the planning process with the regional air quality management program. The San Diego Air Basin is in non-attainment for state ozone and PMIO standards. An increase in air emissions will be roughly proportional to an increase in population. While commercial and industrial sources will contribute to these emissions, proportional increase in residential units can serve as a general indicator of the potential for population growth and related air quality effects. Because the air basin is in non-compliance for Ozone and PMIO, the potential increase in residential units and the activities associated with population growth, even as mitigated in the Preferred Plan and as otherwise mitigated by the City in its CO2 Reduction Plan and Growth Management Program represents a cumulatively considerable and significant air quality impact. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to regional air quality, see ErR, Section 6.7 Mitigation Measures: Mitigation Measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-3 described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: Because the air basin is in non-compliance for Ozone and PM 10, the potential increase in residential units and the activities associated with population growth, even as mitigated in the Preferred Plan and as otherwise mitigated by the City in its CO2 Reduction Plan and Growth Management Program represents a cumulatively considerable and significant air quality impact. G. PUBLIC UTILITIES POTABLE WATER Impact: The proposed project could result in cumulative impacts to potable water supply and storage. 63 lOR ,[3 Cumulative impacts to potable water are discussed in Section 6.10 of the EIR. Finding: Pursuant to section l509l(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. Because there is no assurance that water supply will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the proposed General Plan Update, the impact remains significant and unmitigated. Explanation: Because water supply forecasts are based on the regional growth forecasts conducted by SANDAG and because the regional growth forecasts rely on adopted general plans, amending the general plan to increase development potential would, necessarily, result in an inconsistency between the water supply forecast and Chula Vista's General Plan Update. The extent to which this is a cumulative impact issue relates, in part, to the possibility that projects developed outside of the city of Chula Vista would limit water availability within the General Plan area. Senate Bills SB 610 and SB 221 of 2001 place requirements on individual projects, and require consideration of the provision of water. Both apply, in certain situations, to projects that are developed in conformance to the General Plan Update. The Preferred Plan increases development potential in each update area of the city. This relative demand assumes that future per capita water demand remains the same. As such, increases in demand would be proportional to population growth. Because a long-term water supply is not assured, the increases in water demand are significant. Long-term water supply is not assured and contracts do not currently exist to serve Chula Vista through buildout of the proposed General Plan Update. The SDCW A has developed the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and updates it every five years using SANDAG's regional growth forecasts. The UWMP does not guarantee an adequate water supply. Water demands as a result of the Preferred Plan in the year 2030 will exceed current demand in the General Plan area. Because these demands exceed the existing demand and there source of the water to meet that demand is not firmly established, mitigation of the impact is infeasible. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable curilUlative impacts to potable water supply and storage, see EIR, Section 6.10. Mitigation Measure: Mitigation Measures 5.14-1 and 5.14-2 described above would be required. Significance After Mitigation: While compliance with the policies associated with Objectives PFS 2 and 3 of the Preferred Plan and implementation of the 64 /Op- Jf mitigation measures identified above would reduce the impact to water supply, because there is no assurance that water supply will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the proposed General Plan Update, the impact remains significant and unmitigated. H. NOISE Impact: Implementation of the General Plan Update could contribute to a significant cumulative impact on noise. Cumulative impacts to noise are discussed in Section 6.9 of the EIR. Finding: Pursuant to section 15091(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. Explanation: Future traffic volumes are the basis for the predominance of future noise effects. The traffic volumes used in the noise report are based on the cumulative effects of traffic. As such, the noise analysis is a cumulative analysis. A significant impact will occur to existing receivers adjacent to circulation element roadways where traffic volumes are projected to result in noise level increases of more than 3 decibels. Lessening the noise levels in these areas would require a lot-by-Iot review of potential exterior use areas and an evaluation of the acoustical performance of each building exposed to the increase. The exterior analysis would assess the feasibility of reducing noise levels to outdoor use areas and the interior review would require consideration of the effectiveness of existing windows and doors, the adequacy of existing construction, and the need for retrofit. Since this level of analysis is infeasible at the General Plan stage, direct and cumulative impacts remain significant and not mitigated. The adoption of the Preferred Plan or any of the Scenarios have the same effects since they are the same at the general plan level of analysis. For additional discussion regarding the Project's significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to noise, see EIR, Section 6.9. Mitigation Measures: The mitigation presented in Section 5.12.5 of the EIR would be required for noise impacts. Significance After Mitigation: Significant 65 / A ,[U ;0/7 XIII. FEASIBILITY OF POTENTIAL PROJECT ALTERNATIVES Because the project will cause some unavoidable significant environmental effects, as outlined above, the City must consider the feasibility of any environmentally superior alternative to the project, as finally approved. The City must evaluate whether one or more of these alternatives could avoid or substantially lessen the unavoidable significant environmental effects. Where, as in this project, significant environmental effects remain even after application of all feasible mitigation measures identified in the EIR, the decisionmakers must evaluate the project alternatives identified in the EIR. Under these circumstances, CEQA requires findings on the feasibility of project alternatives. ! In general, in preparing and adopting findings, a lead agency need not necessarily address feasibility when contemplating the approval of a project with significant impacts. Where the significant impacts can be mitigated to an acceptable (insignificant) level solely by the adoption of mitigation measures, the agency, in drafting its findings, has no obligation to consider the feasibility of environmentally superior alternatives, even if their impacts would be less severe than those of the project as mitigated. Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 CaI.3d 376 [253 CaI.Rptr. 426]; Laurel Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 CaI.App.3d 515 [147 CaI.Rptr. 842]; see also Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 CaI.App.3d 692 [270 CaI.Rptr. 650]. Accordingly, for this project, in adopting the findings concerning project alternatives, the City Council considers only those environmental impacts that, for the finally approved project, are significant and cannot be avoided or substantially lessened through mitigation. The City has properly considered and reasonably rejected a reasonable range of project alternatives as "infeasible" pursuant to CEQA. CEQA provides the following definition of the term "feasible" as it applies to the findings requirement: "Feasible" means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors." [Pub. Resources Code section 21061.1] The CEQA Guidelines provide a broader definition of "feasibility" that also encompasses "legal" factors. CEQA Guidelines section 15364 states, "The lack of legal powers of an agency to use in imposing an alternative or mitigation measure may be as great a limitation as any economic, environmental, social, or technological factor." (See also Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 CaI.3d 553, 565 [276 CaI.Rptr. 410].) Accordingly, "feasibility" is a term of art under CEQA and thus may not be afforded a different meaning as it may be provided by Webster's dictionary or any other sources. Moreover, Public Resources Code section 21081 governs the "findings" requirement under CEQA with regard to the feasibility of alternatives. Specifically, no public agency 66 /o/jft, shaJl approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report has been certified which identifies one or more significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more of the following findings: (1) "[ c ]hanges or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantiaJly lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR." [CEQA Guidelines section 15091, subd. (a)(I)] (2) "such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes , have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. [CEQA Guidelines section 15091, subd. (a)(2)] (3) "[ s ]pecific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR." [CEQA Guidelines section 15091, subd. (a)(3)] The concept of "feasibility" also encompasses the question of whether a particular alternative or mitigation measure promotes the underlying goals and objectives of a project. (City of Del Mar V. City of San Diego (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 410, 417 [183 Cal.Rptr. 898]) "'[F]easibility' under CEQA encompasses 'desirability' to the extent that desirability is based on a reasonable balancing of the relevant economic, environmental, social, and technological factors." (Ibid.; see also Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Assn. V. City of Oakland (1993) 23 Cal.App.4th 704, 715 [29 Cal.Rptr.2d 182]) These findings contrast and compare the alternatives where appropriate in order to demonstrate that the selection of the finaJly approved project, while still resulting in significant environmental impacts, has substantial environmental, planning, fiscal, and other benefits. In rejecting certain alternatives, the decisionmakers have examined the finaJly approved project objectives and weighed the ability of the various alternatives to meet the objectives. The decisionmakers believe that the project best meets the finaJly approved project objectives with the least environmental impact. The detailed discussion in Sections VIII and IX demonstrate that significant environmental effects wiJl occur as a result of the Preferred Plan for 10 issues. They include: . Land use . Landform alteration/aesthetics 67 . /0 ,tJ. ;/7 . Cultural resources . Paleontological resources . Energy . Transportation . Air quality . Noise . Public Utilities (Water Supply) . Housing and Population The City fully satisfies its CEQA obligations by determining whether any alternatives identified in the EIR are both feasible and environmentally superior with respect to the impacts listed above. (Laurel Hills. supra, 83 Cal.App.3d at 519-527; [147 Cal.Rptr. 842]; Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 692, 730- 731 [270 Cal.Rptr. 650]; and Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 Ca1.3d 376, 400-403 [253 Cal.Rptr. 426].) As the succeeding discussion will show, no identified alternative qualifies as both feasible and environmentally superior with respect to the unmitigated impact. To fully account for these unavoidable significant effects, and the extent to which particular alternatives might or might not be environmentally superior with respect to them, these findings will not focus solely on the impacts listed above, but may also address the environmental merits of the alternatives with respect to all broad categories of impacts-even though such a far-ranging discussion is not required by CEQA. The findings will also assess whether each alternative is feasible in light of the City's objectives for the General Plan Update. The City's review of project alternatives is guided primarily by the need to reduce potential impacts associated with the General Plan Update, while still achieving the basic objectives of the project. The City's primary objectives are included in Section II above. A. NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE Section 15126, subdivision (d)(4), of the CEQA Guidelines require the evaluation of the "No Project" Alternative. Such an alternative "shall discuss the existing conditions, as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the project were not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure and community services." In the event that the Preferred Plan is not approved, the currently adopted General Plan would remain in effect. This condition is the No Project Alternative. The No Project Alternative would allow for a total of23,601 residential units and 2,626 acres of commercial, industrial, and public uses which reduces 68 )) /i BB the intensity of housing, commercial, and industrial uses as well as increases open space and park uses over that of the Preferred Plan. Under the No Project alternative, the impacts associated with project implementation and the potentially significant cumulative impacts of proposed and approved developments in the area would be reduced compared to the Preferred Plan. The No Project Alternative would thus reduce impacts to land use, landform alteration/aesthetics, air quality, and public services and utilities. Because the No Project Alternative still entails growth in the City impacts to these issues, although reduced, remain significant and unavoidable. Although the No Project Alternative is considered environmentally preferable to the proposed project, it would not accomplish several of the goals and objectives of the proposed project. The No Project Alternative would not meet the following goals and objectives: . Continue to expand the local economy by providing a broad range of business, employment and housing opportunities that support an excellent standard of living, and improve the ability for residents to live and work locally, and maintain and enhance a high quality-oflife for the City's residents by developing and sustaining a healthy, strong and diverse economic base. The No Project Alternative represents less mixed use, less housing capacity, lower residential densities, and less employment capacity than the Preferred Plan. As such, it fails to provide the necessary mix of land uses sufficient to support exemplary community services, facilities, and amenities. The Preferred Plan represents an increase of 198 acres of industrial land and 16,576 additional housing units over the No Project Alternative. Therefore, the No Project Alternative provides less of an opportunity for the expansion of the local economy and makes it more difficult to sustain a strong economic base. . Provide for sufficient land use capacity and density to support revitalization and redevelopment of western Chula Vista. The No Project Alternative would retain the existing land use designations in the Urban Core of the City. It would result in land use designations that would support 6,275 fewer residential units, as well as less retail and office uses in the Urban Core relative to the Preferred Plan, and make it less likely that redevelopment and revitalization would occur. . Provide a mix of land uses that meets community needs and generates sufficient revenue to sustain exemplary community services, facilities and amenities. 69 /0;;- f9 Recognizing that revenue is proportional to intensity of use, reduced intensity, as represented by the No Project Alternative, would result in reduced revenues and make it more difficult for the City to sustain services, facilities, and amenities. . Target higher density and higher intensity development into specific focus areas in order to protect stable residential neighborhoods and to create mixed-use urban environments that are oriented to, and adequately support, transit and pedestrian activity. This targeted development will be well-designed, compatible with adjacent areas, and contribute to the continued vitality of Chula Vista's economy. While the Preferred Plan establishes focus areas and increases densities in those specific areas, the No Project Alternative does not specify those locations and target higher intensity development into them. Rather it continues to direct growth in patterns already established. While some of this growth occurs in developed areas, it does not identify or promote mixed-use. . Ensure sufficient housing capacity, density, and variety to meet existing and future needs, and to support the provision of affordable housing. By establishing land use designations that allow for increased density, the City creates the opportunity to expand the supply of housing and thereby increase the opportunity for the provision of affordable housing. SANDAG's regional projections clearly demonstrate a lack of sufficient capacity among local jurisdictions' current General Plans to accommodate regional needs. With lower densities, the No Project Alternative perpetuates the shortage and does not meet this objective. . Foster a sustainable circulation/mobility system that provides mode of transportation choices, is well-integrated with the city's land uses, and connects the city both internally and to the region. The Preferred Plan envisions higher residential densities than proposed by the No Project Alternative, and integrates a new bus rapid transit system throughout the City The purpose of the higher densities is to promote pedestrian, bicycle, and transit- oriented development, and to wisely manage limited natural resources through the concentration of development in the least environmentally sensitive areas while preserving large tracts of open space. The BRT system is part of a larger system consistent with the adopted Regional Transit Vision, and connects not only major destination areas/activity centers within the City, but also with regional centers and employment areas outside the City. Reduction in density and the lack of the BRT system, as would occur under the No Project Alternative, would provide insufficient density in the Urban Core to support transit facilities and to promote pedestrian- oriented land use design, and would not integrate the needed BRT system 70 ,/) ,'1- ~') . Re-emphasize and revitalize the older, downtown Chula Vista core area as the heart of the city through a combination of public, civic, shopping, employment, entertainment, and residential uses. The No Project Alternative does not include the objectives and policies directed at conserving the historic value of the City, as established by Objectives LUT 9 and LUT 12. It also does not include the land use mixes or intensities necessary to revitalize the Urban Core. . Protect Chula Vista's important historic resources. The No Project Alternative does not include the objectives LUT 9 and LUT 12 directed at conserving the historic value of the City. For these reasons, the City Council concludes that the No Project Alternative is not feasible. (See City of Del Mar, supra, 133 Cal.App.3d at 417; Sequoyah Hills, supra, 23 Cal.App.4th at 715.) For additional discussion regarding the No Project Alternative, see Chapter 10.0 of the EIR. B. REDUCED PROJECT ALTERNATIVE The purpose of the Reduced Project Alternative was to evaluate the potential for reducing traffic and traffic-related impacts, such as noise and air quality, and evaluating the potential for reducing the effects on land use and community character. This alternative would reduce development throughout the General Plan area compared to the Preferred Plan. It was developed by combining the least developed, highest park and open space components from the Preferred Plan. Where there was no difference between scenarios or where the Preferred Plan scenario represented the least developed condition, the Preferred Plan component was included in this alternative. The Reduced Project Alternative would allow for a total of 32,199 residential units and 2,262.6 acres of commercial, industrial, and public uses which reduces the intensity of housing, commercial, and industrial uses as well as increases open space and park uses over that of the Preferred Plan. The project footprint for this alternative would be essentially the same as for the Preferred Plan. This would result in the same direct impacts to ground resources, such as biology, geology, archaeology, and agriculture as for the Preferred Plan. Because it would reduce developed land and increase open space and park land, it has the potential to lessen impacts that result from ground disturbing activities. Depending upon the nature of the active uses in the park and open space areas, it is possible that impacts for a 71 1)/1 (j/ , number of issues, including traffic, noise, air quality, hydrology, landform alteration, and public services would also be reduced. The Reduced Project Alternative is considered environmentally preferable to the proposed project because it would provide greater amounts of open space and park land. However, it would not accomplish several of the goals and objectives of the proposed project. The Reduced Project Alternative would not meet the following goals and obj ectives: . Maintain and enhance a high quality-ol-life for the City's residents by developing and sustaining a healthy, strong and diverse economic base. The Reduced Project Alternative limits commercial and residential opportumtles relative to that of the Preferred Plan. It, therefore, provides less of an opportunity for the continued expansion of the local economy and makes it more difficult for the City to meet this objective. . Target higher density and higher intensity development into specific focus areas in order to protect stable residential neighborhoods and to create mixed-use urban environments that are oriented to, and adequately support, transit and pedestrian activity. This targeted development will be well-designed, compatible with adjacent areas, and contribute to the continued vitality of Chula Vista's economy. The Reduced Project Alternative would not target higher intensities into focus areas, but would limit the intensity of development. While the alternative would permit mixed use that could be designed to protect stable residential neighborhoods, it would limit the ability of the City to support transit and pedestrian activity because of the reduced population density. Higher densities help promote pedestrian, bicycle, and transit -oriented development. . Protect and increase the industrial land use base to provide for higher-value added jobs, and to support the retention and expansion of local businesses and industries. This alternative reduces industrially designated land relative to the Preferred Plan, and, as such makes it more difficult for the City to achieve the goal of providing higher-value added jobs, and to support the retention and expansion of local businesses and industries. The Reduced Project Alternative would result in 215 fewer acres of industrial and commercial land use than does the Preferred Plan. . Ensure sufficient housing capacity, density, and variety to meet existing and future needs, and to support the provision of affordable housing. 72 /Jr 0, ,,'6"""- By establishing land use designations that allow for increased density, the City creates the opportunity to expand the supply of housing and thereby increase the opportunity for the provision of affordable housing. With lower densities, the No Project Alternative fails to meet this objective. The Preferred Plan proposes land use designations that would allow 39,322 residential units in the update areas, where the Reduced Project Alternative would allow 32,623, 6,699 fewer units in the update areas. The remainder of the City remains unchanged. . Foster a sustainable circulation/mobility system that provides mode of transportation choices, is well-integrated with the city's land uses, and connects the city both internally and to the region. The Preferred Plan envfsions higher residential densities than proposed by the Reduced Project Alternative. The purpose of the higher densities is to promote pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-oriented development and to wisely manage limited natural resources. By reducing density and overall development potential in the areas of change, the Reduced Project Alternative would make if more difficult to provide transportation improvements needed to meet this objective. . For these reasons, the City Council concludes that the Development Consistent with the Alternative is not feasible. (See City of Del Mar, supra, 133 Ca1.App.3d at 417; Sequoyah Hills, supra, 23 Ca1.App.4th at 715.) For additional discussion ofthe Reduced Project Alternative see Section 11.2 of the EIR. C. COMMUNITY CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE The EIR identified potential adverse impacts to community character that could result from the adoption of the Preferred Plan. This impact would result from heights and mass of buildings throughout the General Plan area. This potential effect could also impact the historic character of Downtown on Third A venue. The Community Character Alternative is analyzed within the EIR as a means of reducing impacts associated with land use, specifically community character, visual resources, cultural resources, transportation, air quality, and services and utilities. To reduce these impacts, this alternative would reduce the height of development throughout the General Plan area compared to the Preferred Plan. Because the Community Character still entails growth in the City, impacts to these issues, although reduced, remain significant and unavoidable. This alternative reduces the designated building heights by one category level to achieve a reduction in building heights throughout the General Plan area. For instance, every area designated for high-rise would be reduced to mid-rise, likewise the areas designated for mid-rise would be reduced to low-rise. Areas affected with the reduction from high-rise to mid-rise include the H Street Focus Area, the E Street Visitor Focus Area, and the H 73 /0,4 ,. ;} ..2j :"-,,...' Street Gateway Focus Area. The reduction from mid-rise to low-rise affects areas throughout the General Plan area. The project footprint for this alternative would be essentially the same as for the Preferred Plan. This would result in the same direct impacts to ground resources, such as biology, geology, and archaeology, as for the Preferred Plan. Although the Community Character Alternative is considered environmentally preferable to the proposed project, it would not accomplish several of the goals and objectives of the proposed project. The Community Character Alternative would not meet the following goals and objectives: . Continue to expand the 10cal economy by providing a broad range of business, employment and housing opportunities that support an excellent standard of living, and improve the ability for residents to live and work locally. . Maintain and enhance a high quality-of-life for the City's residents by developing and sustaining a healthy, strong and diverse economic base. The Community Character Alternative represents less mixed use, less housing capacity, lower residential densities, and less employment capacity than the Preferred Plan. As such, it provides less of an opportunity for the expansion of the local economy and makes it difficult to sustain a strong economic base. The Community Character Alternative would also limit commercial and residential opportunities relative to that of the Preferred Plan. It, therefore, provides less of an opportunity for the continued expansion of the local economy and makes it more difficult for the City to meet this objective. . Provide for sufficient land use capacity and density to support revitalization and redevelopment of western Chula Vista. The Community Character Alternative limits commercial and residential opportunities relative to that of the Preferred Plan. It, therefore, provides less of an opportunity for the continued expansion of the local economy and makes it more difficult for the City to meet this objective ofrevitalization and redevelopment. . Provide a mix of land uses that meets community needs and generates sufficient revenue to sustain exemplary community services, facilities and amenities. A 74 "I /() If '1"f This alternative would limit the ability of the City to support transit and pedestrian activity because of the reduced population density, and result in insufficient densities and intensities (relative to land and development costs) to supply sufficient revenue streams. Higher densities help promote pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-oriented development. . Ensure that services and infrastructure expand to match needs created by growth and redevelopment, and to support economic prosperity. The Community Character Alternative limits commercial and residential opportunities relative to that of the Preferred Plan, and, therefore, provides less of an opportunity for the continued expansion of the local economy and makes it more difficult for the City to meet its obligation for provision of services and infrastructure. . Foster a sustainable circulation/mobility system that provides mode of transportation choices, is well-integrated with the city's land uses, and connects the city both internally and to the region. The Preferred Plan envisions higher residential densities than proposed by the Community Character Alternative. The purpose of the higher densities is to promote pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-oriented development and to wisely manage limited natural resources through the concentration of development in the least environmentally sensitive areas while preserving large tracts of open space. Reduction in density, as proposed under the Community Character Alternative, would provide insufficient density in the Urban Core to support transit facilities and to promote pedestrian-oriented land use design. .

The Community Character Alternative would not target higher intensities into focus areas, but would limit the intensity of development.

REDUCED TRAFFIC IMPACT ALTERNATIVE As a result of the traffic analysis in the ElR, 15 roadway segments were determined to have a significant impact after mitigation with the adoption of the Preferred Plan. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative. was developed to reduce these impacts. This alternative would up size the classification of all roadways segments identified as being significantly impacted under the Preferred Plan to reduce these impacts. Upsizing the roadway segments would improve traffic flow and alleviate peak hour congestion. Increasing a four-lane major to a six-lane major results in an increase capacity of 10,000 ADT. It is anticipated that those roadways operating at LOS D under the Preferred Plan would operate at C or better under this alternative. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative would reduce the impacts to traffic and air quality compared to the Preferred Plan; however, impacts to land use/community character, cultural and paleontological resources, geological and soil resources, water quality, and noise would be increased under this alternative compared to the Preferred Plan. The widening of the roads could affect community character, particularly in the developed areas in western Chula Vista. The eastern roadways, including Otay Lakes Road, Olympic Parkway, and EastIake Parkway, are large roadways and their widening, if feasible, would have less an effect on community character as homes and businesses are at a greater distance from these streets than roads in older neighborhoods. The impacts to water facilities and supply, sewer, wastewater, school service, police and fire protection, and park and recreation impacts identified for the Preferred Plan would remain the same under this alternative. 76 . 9,' If) /! ,(I" Many of the potential impacts associated with this alternative would be increased from those of the Preferred Plan due to the increased grading footprint required to widen the roadways. As a result, the alternative is not considered environmentally preferable to the Preferred Plan. Furthermore, this alternative would not accomplish some of the goals and objectives associated with the proposed General Plan Update. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative would not meet the following goals and objectives: . Conserve Chula Vista's sensitive biological and other valuable natural resources. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative's constrains the City's ability to meet this objective because the increase widths to roadway segments in the undeveloped portions in the East Planning area, particularly along Main Street and Olympic Parkway could increase! the potential for an impact to biological resources. Additional lanes on roadways have increases in width. An average lane width is 12 feet, with corresponding additional improvements. By increasing a roadway by 12 to 24 feet, the potential for impacts to resources is increased, and this goal is can not be met.. . Protect Chula Vista's important historic resources. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative's constrains the City's ability to meet this objective because the increase widths to roadway segments in the undeveloped portions in the East Planning area, particularly along Main Street and Olympic Parkway could increase the potential for an impact to cultural resources. Additional lanes on roadways have increases in width. An average lane width is 12 feet, with corresponding additional improvements.

This targeted development will be well-designed, compatible with adjacent areas, and contribute to the continued vitality of Chula Vista's economy. The Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative is not consistent with the City's objective to create mixed-use urban environments that are oriented to transit and pedestrian activity. Widening the roadways could potentially cause a decrease in the use of buses, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) the Trolley, rail lines, bicycle travel, and pedestrian traffic. For these reasons, the City Council concludes that the Development Consistent with the Alternative is not feasible.

RECIRCULATION OF THE DRAFT EIR In accordance with Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, the draft EIR for the General Plan Update for the City of Chula Vista is being recirculated. The purpose of this recirculation is to include additional updated information regarding the proposed plan update and include expanded analyses. A summary of the revisions made to the previously circulated draft EIR in accordance with Section 15088.5(g) was provided in the Summary of Revisions section of the EIR, pages ix through xxix. In accordance with Section 15088.5(f)(1) when an EIR is substantially revised and the entire document is recirculated, the lead agency may require reviewers to submit new comments and are not required to respond to those comments received during the earlier circulation period. In conformance with this Section, the City is not responding to those comments received in response to the previous document. New comments are required by the end of the public review period for the recirculated General Plan Update EIR. The City of Chula Vista will respond to these comments submitted for the revised EIR. While 81 Iv/)- /,i/ the City of Chula Vista will not respond to the earlier comments, those comments will be part of the administrative record. XVI OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE PREFERRED PLAN In consideration of potential modifications to the Preferred Plan, four options have been identified. These options are elements of the three additional scenarios addressed in the EIR, and include: 1. Designation of 15 acres of the Active Recreation area for Visitor Commercial use 2. Retention of the adopted General Plan land use for the Freeway Commercial area in the East Planning Area 3. Designation of an area at South Broadway at Palomar Street for residential use rather than commercial use. 4. Shifting the "Town Focus Area" in the South Third Avenue District further south near Orange A venue and Third Avenue. Option: Designation of 15 acres of the Active Recreation area for Visitor Commercial use Impact: Scenario 2 includes an analysis of the impact of establishing a visitor commercial land use on a portion of the Active Recreation area in the Otay River Valley. The analysis in the EIR regarding this issue under Scenario 2 considered establishing 29 acres of the area as mixed use commercial in support of entertainment related land uses. This scenario also specified 23 acres of medium high and high density residential in this location. The impact analysis for Scenario 2 represents a worst case assessment of the effects of identifying a 15 acre visitor commercial use in this location. This option does not include any residential uses in this area. The sigrrificant effects identified in the EIR for Scenario 2 as they pertain to this area and would differ from the land uses in the Preferred Plan are related to traffic. The EIR also indicates that impacts would occur to Biology because of the designation of residential uses adjacent to the MSCP preserve. Since no residential use is proposed, this would not be an adverse affect of this option. Impacts to traffic circulation from Scenario 2 include impacts to 18 non-Urban Core roadway segments, as opposed to 15 impacted segments for the Preferred Plan. These impacts are detailed on Table 5.10-3 of the EIR. Scenario 2 also impacts one Urban Core Roadway segment. Because this option is located within 82 /O/J . /(7 )-,. the East Planning Area, the proposed change in the designated land use is not anticipated to affect the traffic in the Urban Core area of the city. The significance of impacts and mitigation for the remaining issues identified for the Preferred Plan are the same for this option. Finding: Impacts to traffic and circulation are the only effects that differ from the Preferred Plan as a result of the adoption of this option. Therefore, the findings made for the issues described above, apply to this option. These findings are provided in Section XI above. Because the impacts to the roadway system are based on segment capacity, and the operational improvements outlined below do not increase that capacity, impacts to transportation remain significant. Mitigation Measures 5.10-1 and 5.10-2, however are feasible and will reduce circulation impacts. 'Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: Operational improvements would reduce impacts but not necessarily to a level less than significant. The 18 non-Urban Core roadway segments identified in the EIR as having a significant impact before mitigation will have a significant impact after mitigation because the identified mitigation measure will not increase the capacity of area roads. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. 5.10-1 Prior to issuance of building permits, individual projects shall either contribute to the existing Traffic Signal Fee Program for applicable projects in Chula Vista or secure and construct the improvements specified in Table XLF-l (Table 5.10-5 of the EIR) that are within the area of benefit to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. For projects in eastern Chula Vista, the existing Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program and the Traffic Signal Fee Program collects fees from proposed developments on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis and allocates the funds to construct needed transportation infrastructure in eastern Chula Vista. The Growth Management Program monitors traffic flow on key arterial streets, and provides a means to "meter" the rate of development in order to limit traffic congestion. All three of these existing programs are in place to ensure that the direct traffic impacts of individual projects or the cumulative impacts associated with planned growth are disclosed and mitigated or avoided in accordance with CEQA. 83 /04/,,13 5.10-2 For impacts to the freeway segments listed in Tab]e XI.F-2 (Table 5.10-4 of the EIR), in order to mitigate impacts of the General Plan Update, the freeways will need to be widened to provide between one and three additional general purpose lanes (or the equivalent capacity in HOV and/or managed lanes), depending on the segment. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by CaItrans, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways, as such, mitigation is not within the authority of the City of Chu]a Vista sufficient to avoid the cumulative contribution to traffic on these roadways and the impact remains significant. Significance After Mitigation: Significant Option: Retention of the adopted General Plan land use for the Freeway Commercial area in the East Planning Area Impact: Scenarios] and 3 included the retention of the land use designations from the Adopted General Plan for the Freeway Commercial site. The Preferred Plan identifies mixed use residential development on the northerly 35 acres of the Freeway Commercial Focus Area in the Otay Ranch Subarea. This option would specify Retail Commercia] for this area, as currently designated in the Adopted General Plan. The impact analysis for Scenario 3 represents a worst case assessment of the effects of identifying and retaining the Retai] Commercial use in this location. The significant effects identified in the EIR for Scenario 3 as they pertain to this area and would differ from the land uses in the Preferred Plan are related to traffic. Impacts to traffic circulation from Scenario 3 include impacts to ] 9 non- Urban Core roadway segments, as opposed to ]5 impacted segments for the Preferred Plan. These are detailed on Table 5.10-3 ofthe EIR. The significance of impacts and mitigation for the remaining issues identified for the Preferred Plan are the same for this option. Finding: Impacts to traffic and circulation are the only effects that differ from the Preferred Plan as a result of the adoption of this option. Therefore, the findings made for the issues described above, apply to this option. These findings are provided in Section XI above. Because the impacts to the roadway system are based on segment capacity, and the operational improvements outlined below do not increase that capacity, impacts to transportation remain significant. Mitigation Measures 5.]0-] and 5.]0-2 as described above, however, are feasible and will reduce circulation impacts. Pursuant to section ]509] (a)(1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated 84 /019;:) i into, the project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR Explanation: Operational improvements would reduce impacts but not necessarily to a level less than significant. The 19 non-Urban Core roadway segments identified in the EIR as having a significant impact before mitigation will have a significant impact after mitigation because the identified mitigation measure will not increase the capacity of area roads. Mitigation: Mitigation measures 5.10-1 and 5.10-2 are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. Option: Designation of an area at South Broadway District south of Naples for mixed use residential rather than mixed use commercial. Impact: This option would designate portions of the South Broadway District south of Naples Street as Mixed Use Residential on properties south of Palomar Street. The Preferred Plan proposes a Mixed Use Commercial designation in this area. Other stable commercial and some residential uses are not proposed for change. Mixed Use Residential to Mixed Use Commercial land uses were considered for the entire length of the South Broadway District. The Preferred Plan indicated that from Naples Street to Main Street there should be space reserved for automotive service uses, which was not compatible with residential uses. The Mixed Use Commercial designation allows for a mix of retail, business services, and office uses, but excludes residential. Ground floor uses are predominantly retail in order to promote pedestrian activity. The Mixed Use Residential designation allows a mix of multi-family residential, retail shops, financial, business and personal services, restaurants, entertainment, and office opportunities in a pedestrian-friendly environment. For the Mixed Use Residential designation, ground floor uses are predominantly non-residential in order to promote pedestrian activity. The Mixed Use Residential option was considered in the EIR as part of Scenario 2 (EIR page 70). No significant impacts aside from transportation were associated with this specific option as part of consideration of Scenario 2. Scenario 2 does result in a predicted impact on Palomar Street between 1-5 and Broadway that does not occur under the Preferred Plan. While the impacts to this segment can not be isolated to this option, adoption of the option could result in this effect. 85 /0.1... /rJ?, Finding: Impacts to traffic and circulation are the only effects that differ from the Preferred Plan as a result of the adoption of this option. Therefore, the findings made for the issues described above, apply to this option. These findings are provided in Section XI above. Because the impacts to the roadway system are based on segment capacity, and the operational improvements outlined below do not increase that capacity, impacts to transportation remain significant. Mitigation Measures 5.10-1 and 5.10-2 as described above, however, are feasible and will reduce circulation impacts. Pursuant to section 15091(a)(I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Explanation: ImpactSito traffic circulation from Scenario 2 include impacts to 18 non-Urban Core roadway segments, as opposed to IS impacted segments for the Preferred Plan. Operational improvements would reduce impacts but not necessarily to a level less than significant. The 18 non-Urban Core roadway segments identified in the EIR as having a significant impact before mitigation will have a significant impact after mitigation because the identified mitigation measure will not increase the capacity of area roads. Mitigation: Mitigation measures 5.1 0-1 and 5.10-2 are feasible and are required as a condition of approval and are made binding through these findings. Significance After Mitigation: Significant. Option: Shifting the "Town Focus Area" in the South Third Avenue District further south near Orange Avenue and Third Avenne. This option would expand the Town Focus Area to include the area between Palomar Street and Orange A venue. Aside from expanding the focus area, the option does not change any land use designations relative to the Preferred Plan, and will, therefore, not result in any changes to impacts or required mitigation. The land use designations for the area to be included under this option remains the same as in the adopted General Plan. Finding: Impacts resulting from the expansion of the Town Focus Area do not differ from the Preferred Plan. Therefore, the findings made for the issues described above as they apply to the Preferred Plan also apply to this option. These findings are provided in Section XI above Explanation: See the explanation of each significant impact identified above for the Preferred Plan. Because there were no impacts identified specifically associated with the establishment of the boundaries of the Town Focus Area 86 /. /l ,',' I /1),"'" /'-'(.!' modification of those boundaries will, similarly, have no adverse effect. The fact that no changes in land use designations are proposed relative to the Preferred Plan further supports the determination that there will be no additional impacts resulting from the adoption of this option. Mitigation: See the mitigation identified for each of the significant impacts identified above for the Preferred Plan. Significance After Mitigation: The significance of impacts after mitigation for the Preferred Plan as modified by this option is presented for each significant issue identified above. XVII. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED CITY OF CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR The project would have significant, unavoidable impacts on the following areas, described in detail in these Findings of Fact: . Land use . Aesthetics . Air quality, . Transportation/traffic circulation, . Noise . Housing and Population . Water supply, and . Energy The City has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to these impacts. Although these mitigation measures may substantially lessen these significant impacts, adoption of the measures will not, in some cases, fully avoid the impacts. Cumulative impacts to transportation/traffic circulation, air quality, cultural and paleontological 87 10/"1- /rJ 7 resources, water supply, energy supply, and landform alteration remain significant after mitigation. The City has also examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project. Based on this examination, the City has determined that none of these alternatives meet project objectives. Despite the occurrence of significant adverse environmental impacts, the City Council chooses to approve the Project because, in its view, the economic, social, and other benefits that the project will provide will render the significant effects acceptable. The City has adopted this "statement of overriding considerations" pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15043 and 15093. This statement allows a lead agency to cite a project's economic, social, or other benefits as a justification for choosing to allow the occurrence of specified significant environmental effects that have not been avoided. The following statement explains why, in the agency's judgment, the project's benefits outweigh the unavoidable significant effects. Where another substantive law (e.g., the California Clean Air Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, or the California or Federal Endangered Species Acts) prohibits the lead agency from taking certain actions with environmental impacts, a statement of overriding considerations does not relieve the lead agency from such prohibitions. Rather, the decisionmaker has recommended mitigation measures based on the analysis contained in the final EIR, recognizing that other resource agencies have the ability to impose more stringent standards or measures. Although CEQA does not require lead agencies to analyze "beneficial impacts" in an EIR, the City Council recognizes that decisionmakers benefit from information about project benefits and has cited these benefits here, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15093. Anyone of the reasons for approval cited below is sufficient to justify approval of the Proj ecl. The substantial evidence supporting the various benefits can be found in the preceding Findings, which are incorporated by reference into this Section, and in the documents found in the Record of Proceedings, as defined in Section III. The City finds that the project would have the following substantial social, environmental, and economic benefits: 1. The projectwill offer opportunities to live in safe and attractive neighborhoods; share in vibrant urban activities; work in healthy business and industrial environments; and enjoy bountiful natural resources and recreational facilities. 88 ~ IO;l-/{I,"1 2. The project will provide vibrant urban areas providing a mixture of commercial, residential, civic and cultural amenities which will add to Chula Vista's character and secure its standing as the primary hub of the South Bay area. 3. The project will help meet a projected long-term regional need for housing by providing a wide variety of housing types and prices. SANDAG housing capacity studies indicate a shortage of housing will occur in the project area within the next 20 years. ill recent years, the cost of housing has risen disproportionately to the cost of other uses in the project area (e.g., commercial, industrial), reflecting a shortfall in residentially zoned land. The project will help reduce the cost of housing by designating an adequate supply of suitable land for residential development. The General Plan Update will result in housing types and prices that will promote sodoeconomic diversity, which the City finds both important and desirable. 4. The project will connect regional and local activity centers and neighborhoods through a network of major east/west and north/south corridors. This network will also link to local transportation services such as the trolley, intra-city express and shuttle loops, and expanded bus routes. The City will also have a system of bicycle and pedestrian paths that connect neighborhoods, activity centers, and recreation facilities throughout the city. 5. The project will provide for an important component of the East Planning Area to function as an attractor for residents of the area and the surrounding region, drawing residents, visitors, and businesses. These areas consists of: . The Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center which will serve as a regional retail and business center; . The future development of a substantial technology park to serve the needs of the region; and . The potential establishment of a four-year college or university or other institution of higher education. 6. The project area currently exceeds federal and state air quality standards for a number of emissions factors, including ozone and carbon monoxide. A substantial majority of these emissions are attributable to motor vehicles. In order to comply with the federal and California Clean Air Acts, the San Diego region must reduce these sources. The project is designed to reduce the adverse impact to air quality and automobile congestion by encouraging use of alternative modes of transportation such as biking and walking and the use of transit. 89 /:)1".) .; 7. Implementation of the project will promote the use of conservation technologies and sustainability practices that reduce or eliminate the use of non-renewable resources. The project also promotes local non-polluting and renewable energy, water, and material resources in a way that allows the City to meet their present needs while ensuring future generations the ability to meet their needs. 8. The project will provide for significant community-wide public facilities. As the plan is implemented, it will be responsible for constructing public facilities and infrastructure to serve the GPU area. These facilities include: a. Improvements to the regional backbone circulation system; b. Schools serving the subregion; c. Public parks, open space, and greenbelt and community trails; and d. Water line, drainage, and sewer infrastructure improvements. For these reasons, the City Council finds there are economic, social, and other considerations resulting from the project that serve to override and outweigh the project's unavoidable significant environmental effects and, thus, considers the adverse unavoidable effects acceptable. 90 Ii /-7 //0 CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE MITIGATION MONITORING REPORTING PROGRAM Introduction This mitigation monitoring reporting program (MMRP) was prepared for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update to comply with Public Resources Code section 21081.6, which requires public agencies to adopt such programs to ensure effective implementation of mitigation measures. This monitoring program is dynamic in that it will undergo changes as additional mitigation measures are identified and additional conditions of approval are placed on the project throughout the project approval process. Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081.6(a)(2), the City of Chula Vista designates the Enviromnent ~eview Coordinator and the City Clerk as the custodians of the documents or their material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based. This monitoring program will serve a dual purpose of verifying completion of the mitigation identified in the EIR and generating information on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures to guide future decisions. The program includes the following: . Monitor qualifications . Specific monitoring activities . Reporting system . Criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures The proposed project is the adoption of the Chula Vista General Plan Update (GPU). The General Plan defines the framework by which the City's physical and economic resources are to be managed and used in the future. The update proposes land use and circulation changes and includes guidelines for the implementation of the plans, policies, and proposals included in the update. The General Plan Update's planning horizon is the year 2030. The city of Chula Vista is located in southern San Diego County, between National City and the southernmost portion of the city of San Diego which abuts the U.s.-Mexican border. Chula Vista encompasses approximately 52 square miles of land from the San Diego Bay to the atay Reservoirs, generally between Sweetwater River and atay River. In addition to the city of Chula Vista, the General Plan boundary includes lands within the county of San Diego unincorporated area identified within the Sweetwater Community Planning Area and Jamul/Dulzura and atay Subregional Planning Areas as well as portions of the cities of National City and San Diego. I )rJ .,/1 Exhibit B Under the proposed Chula Vista General Plan Update, the City would be organized into four planning areas (Northwest, Southwest, BaytTont, and East) and a number of subareas; land use and circulation changes are proposed within three of the four planning areas as part of the General Plan Update. Changes are proposed within the Northwest, Southwest, and East Planning Areas; no changes are proposed within the Bayfront Planning Area. The update areas refer to the specific areas within those three planning areas wherein land use and circulation changes are proposed. Several districts within these planning areas contain focus areas for which policies have been formulated to address issues which are unique to these areas. The Northwest Planning Area lies north of L Street and west of 1-805; the Southwest Planning Area lies south of L Street and west of I-80S; the East Planning Area lies east of I-80S, and the Bayfront Planning Area lies west of 1-5 overlooking the San Diego Bay. The proposed update to the Chula Vista General Plan is described in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) text. The EIR, incorporated herein as referenced, focused on issues determined to be potentially significant by the City of Chula Vista. The issues addressed in the EIR include land use, traffic circulation and access, biological resources, landform alteration/aesthetics, water resources and water quality, geology and soils, noise, air quality, housing and population, agriculture, cultural resources, paleontological resources, hazards/risk of upset, and public services and utilities. The environmental analysis concluded that for all of the environmental issues discussed, some of the significant and potentially significant impacts could be avoided or reduced through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Potentially significant impacts requiring mitigation were identified for land use, energy, traffic circulation and access, landform alteration/aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources, and public utilities. Public Resources Code section 21081.6 requires monitoring of only those impacts identified as significant or potentially significant. The monitoring program for the General Plan Update therefore addresses the impacts associated with only the issue areas identified above. Mitigation Monitoring Team The monitoring activities would be accomplished by individuals identified in the attached MMRP table. While specific qualifications should be determined by the City of Chula Vista, the monitoring team should possess the following capabilities: . Interpersonal, decision-making, and management skills with demonstrated experience in working under trying field circumstances; . Knowledge of and appreciation for the general environmental attributes and special features found in the proj ect area; 2 ,/J/,J. .;L . Knowledge of the types of environmental impacts associated with construction of cost-effective mitigation options; and . Excellent communication skills. Program Procedural Guidelines Prior to any construction activities, meetings should take place between all the parties involved to initiate the monitoring program and establish the responsibility and authority of the participants. Mitigation measures that need to be defined in greater detail will be addressed prior to any project plan approvals in follow-up meetings designed to discuss specific monitoring effects. An effective reporting system must be established prior to any monitoring efforts. All parties involved must have a 'clear understanding of the mitigation measures as adopted and these mitigations must be distributed to the participants of the monitoring effort. Those that would have a complete list of all the mitigation measures adopted by the City of Chula Vista would include the City of Chula Vista and its Mitigation Monitor. The Mitigation Monitor would distribute to each Environmental Specialist and Environmental Monitor a specific list of mitigation measures that pertain to his or her monitoring tasks and the appropriate time frame that these mitigations are anticipated to be implemented. In addition to the list of mitigation measures, the monitors will have mitigation monitoring report (MMR) forms, with each mitigation measure written out on the top of the form. Below the stated mitigation measure, the form will have a series of questions addressing the effectiveness of the mitigation measure. The monitors shall complete the MMR and file it with the MM following the monitoring activity. The MM will then include the conclusions of the MMR into an interim and final comprehensive construction report to be submitted to the City of Chula Vista. This report will describe the major accomplishments of the monitoring program, summarize problems encountered in achieving the goals of the program, evaluate solutions developed to overcome problems, and provide a list of recommendations for future monitoring programs. In addition, and if appropriate, each Environmental Monitor or Environmental Specialist will be required to fill out and submit a daily log report to the Mitigation Monitor. The daily log report will be used to record and account for the monitoring activities of the monitor. Weekly and/or monthly status reports, as determined appropriate, will be generated from the daily logs and compliance reports and will include supplemental material (i.e., memoranda, telephone logs, and letters). This type of feedback is essential for the City of Chula Vista to confirm the implementation and effectiveness of the mitigation measures imposed on the project. Actions in Case of Noncompliance There are generally three separate categories of noncompliance associated with the adopted conditions of approval: . Noncompliance requiring an immediate halt to a specific task or piece of equipment; 3 , /. u"'" /0 n'. // ~ . Infraction that warrants an immediate corrective action but does not result in work or task delay; and . Infraction that does not warrant immediate corrective action and results in no work or task delay. There are a number of options the City of Chula Vista may use to enforce this program should noncompliance continue. Some methods commonly used by other lead agencies include "stop work" orders, fines and penalties (civil), restitution, permit revocations, citations, and injunctions. It is essential that all parties involved in the program understand the authority and responsibility of the on-site monitors. Decisions regarding actions in case of noncompliance are the responsibility of the City ofChula Vista. SUMMARY OF PROJECT llyIPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The following table sununarizes the potentially significant project impacts and lists the associated mitigation measures and the monitoring efforts necessary to ensure that the measures are properly implemented. All the mitigation measures identified in the EIR are recommended as conditions of project approval and are stated herein in language appropriate for such conditions. In addition, once the Chula Vista General Plan Update has been approved, and during various stages of implementation, the designated monitors, the City of Chula Vista will further refine the mitigation measures. 4 /tJ&-/lf " '-'.;' ~ , '" ".', , {, '--\ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Potential Significant Impact Monitoring Reporting Agency Mitigation Measures Time Frame of Mitigation Within the Southwest Planning Area, proposed changes to designate the West Fairfield district for Limited Industrial could cause significant impacts to nearby wildlife in the San Diego Wildlife Refuge unless adequate buffering is provided.

Direct impacts could occur if, as a result of plan implementation, a substantial energy resource is reduced or eliminated, or if growth or future energy consumption rates are substantially higher than anticipated. Changes to planned land uses in the city would continue to implement the Energy Strategy Action Plan, San Diego Regional Energy Plan And Transit First Plan. Because there is no long-term assurance that energy supplies will be available in 2030, regardless of land use designation or population size, avoidance of energy impacts cannot be assured and impacts remain significant and unmitigated. 5.8-1 The City shall continue to implement the Energy Strategy and Action Plan, which addresses demand side management, energy efficient and renewable energy outreach programs for businesses and residents, energy acquisition, power generation, and distributed energy resources and legislative actions, and continue to implement the CO2 Reduction Plan to lessen the impacts on energy.

The Preferred Plan represent a significant impact to non-Urban Core Circulation Element roadways because several roadway segments that currently operate at LOS C or better are predicted to operate at LOS D or worse, and other segments that currently operate at LOS D, E, or F are predicted to worsen by 5 percent or more with the proposed changes. For the Preferred Plan, 15 non-Urban Core roadway segments were determined to have a significant impact with respect to Threshold 2. Freeways. Adoption of the proposed General Plan would significantly impact all but five freeway segments. These include segments ofInterstates 5 and 805 and State Routes 125 and 54. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by Caltrans, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways. 5.10-1 Prior to issuance of building permits, individual projects shall either contribute to the existing Traffic Signal Fee Program for applicable projects in Chula Vista or secure and construct the improvements specified in Table 5.10-6 of Section 5.10.5.2 of the EIR that are within the area of benefit to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Prior to the issuance of building permits. CCV 18 ~ ~ t. '~~~ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (continued) Potential Significant Impact Monitoring Reporting Agency Mitigation Measures Time Frame of Mitigation Four freeways were considered in the 5.10.2 traffic analysis. These include Interstates 8 and 895 and State Routes 125 and 54. These roadways were divided into 24 segments and levels of service were calculated for each segment. Table 5.10-2 of this EIR presents the levels of service by scenario for these segments. Under the Preferred Plan, all but five segments represent a significant traffic impact. Of course, since freeways are travel corridors serving the region, traffic effects are not due solely to the adoption of the General Plan Update for the City. As such, these are all cumulative impacts. Similarly, since the freeway system is development and managed by the California Department of Transportation, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways. For impacts to the freeway segments listed in Table 5.10-5 of Section 5.10.5.2 of the EIR, in order to mitigate impacts of the General Plan Update, the freeways will need to be widened to provide between one and three additional general purpose lanes (or the equivalent capacity in HOV and/or managed lanes), depending on the segment. Since the freeway system is developed and managed by Caltrans, the City has only limited ability to affect the level of congestion on these roadways, as such, mitigation is not within the authority of the City ofChula Vista sufficient to avoid the cumulative contribution to traffic on these roadways and the impact remains significant.

'-' MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (continued) Potential Significant Impact Mitigation Measures Time Frame of Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Agency Because ozone impacts are a regional issue, they are not specifically associated with the land use changes associated with the proposed General Plan Update. Development under the proposed General Plan will result in the emission of ozone precursors. Since the region is not in compliance with the PMIO standard and because the average daily emission is anticipated to increase, impacts are significant. PMIO emissions result from construction of projects and from daily operations in the City. The latter is primarily a result of vehicle traffic on area roads. Mitigation is achievable for fugitive dust from construction activities, but the only measures that would reduce those emissions from daily operations are those that reduce miles traveled on area roads. The General Plan Update includes measures aimed at promoting pedestrian activity and reducing trip lengths. 5.11-1 Mitigation ofPMlO impacts requires During construction. active dust control during construction. As a matter of standard practice, the City shall require the following standard construction measures during constructi<?TI to the extent applicable: ccv L All unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other acceptable San Diego APCD dust control agents during dust-generating activities to reduce dust emissions. Additional watering or acceptable APCD dust control agents shall be applied during dry weather or windy days until dust emissions are not visible. 2. Trucks hauling dirt and debris shall be properly covered to reduce windblown dust and spills. 3.

Table 5.14-2 of this ErR provides a comparison of the increase in demands for water relative to the adopted General Plan in the year 2030 for each of the scenarios. Although, for larger projects, future review would require conformance to SB 610 and SB221, at this time it is not possible to state conclusively that sufficient water supplies would be available for individual projects facilitated by adoption of the proposed General Plan. Because contracts for water do not currently exist for the buildout condition of the City, the potential lack of an adequate water supply is a significant adverse impact. 5.14-1 For any residential subdivision with 500 or more units or any commercial project of over 500,000 square feet, any CEQA compliance review shall include demonstration of compliance with the requirements of SB 610. 5.14-2 For any residential subdivision with 500 or more units, any CEQA compliance review shall include demonstration of compliance with the requirements of SB 221. 23 Continue implementing mitigation measure 5.14-1 while General Plan is in effect to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

Mr. Steve Power (Environmental Projects Manager) presented the Draft Re-circulated EIR and related documents. Mr. Power stated that the public review period began on September 19th and will end on November 2nd, 2005. The purpose and goal of the meeting is for the RCC to review the EIR and prepare a recommendation conceming its adequacy for the Planning Commission and City Council. Chair Reid asked if the EIR would be adequate if the RCC were to recommend that the City Council adopt one of the CEQA Alternatives. Mr. Power clarified that the EIR addresses the General Plan Update Preferred Plan and Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 at the project level. The EIR does not address the CEQA Alternatives in sufficient detail for adoption by the City Council without further environmental review. Public Comments Ms. Patricia Aguilar (representing Crossroads II) stated that Crossroads would be submitting detailed written comments on the EIR prior to the November 2nd deadline, which would include the potential impacts of population displacement that are not analyzed in the EIR. Ms. Pamela Bensoussan (616 Second Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910) recommended that Third Avenue and 'H' Street not be referenced in the EIR as a transit focus area. Ms. Jackie McQuade (339 East 'J'Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910) questioned why long-term water provisions were not adequately addressed.

The approved GPU land use and circulation provisions resulting from the City's consideration of General Plan Amendment applications GPA-Ol-Ol and GPA 03-10, reflect a variation from the Applicant's proposals as originally submitted within the Otay Ranch Village 2, 2 West and Village 3 and the Freeway Commercial portion of Planning Area 12 areas generally as follows, and as more specifically represented by the applicable provisions of the approved GPU documents listed in Section V above: 1. For Village Two and Village Two West, the industrial land use in the Otay Landfill buffer is maintained to provide a separation between the village residential uses and the Otay Landfill. 2. For Village Two and Village Three along Wolf Canyon, the open space boundary is maintained for consistency with the MSCP and Otay Ranch RMP Preserve. 3. For the Freeway Commercial portion of Planning Area 12, the GPU maintains the Retail Commercial designation, and denies that portion of the Applicant's request because: a. The demand for retail property will remain very strong and the change to mixed use residential will reduce the inventory of available land needed retail commercial uses. b. The property is situated in an area already planned to provide retail commercial services. c. Its location surrounded by arterial roadways makes the property highly conducive to retail development while reducing its viability as a livable residential community. d. Residential development of this site would be isolated trom many necessary residential services and amenities and other residential communities and substantial residential capacity is already provided in other, better suited areas ofOtay Ranch. Resolution 2005 - Page 7 of8 B. The City Council finds that the proposals reflect sound planning principles and practices, and that these proposals are internally consistent with the balance of the GPU. VII. OTAY LAND COMPANY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION (GPA-03-04) A. The approved GPU land use and circulation provisions resulting from the City's consideration of General Plan Amendment application GPA-03-04, reflect a variation from the Applicant's proposals as originally submitted within the Otay Ranch Village 4, Village 8 and Village 9 areas, as more specifically represented by the applicable provisions of the approved GPU documents listed in Section V. B. The City Council finds that the proposals reflect sound planning principles and practices, and that these proposals are internally consistent with the balance of the GPu. VIII. FLATROCK LAND COMPANY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION (GPA-03-08) A. The approved GPU land use and circulation provisions resulting from the City's consideration of General Plan Amendment application GPA-03-08, reflect a variation from the Applicant's proposals as originally submitted within the Otay Ranch Planning Area 20 generally as follows, and as more specifically represented by the applicable provisions of the approved GPU documents listed in Section V. above: 1. Limiting Mixed Use Commercial to 15 acres, rather than the substantial mix of uses and residential requested, will sufficiently support active recreation uses in the Otay Valley consistent with the City's adopted Economic Development Strategy, while remaining consistent with the MSCP and Otay Ranch RMP requirements to limited any commercial uses to those in direct support of active recreation uses. B. The City Council finds that the proposals reflect sound planning principles and practices, and that these proposals are internally consistent with the balance of the GPU. IX. ADOPTION OF GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND MSCP SUBAREA PLAN AMENDMENT In light of the findings above, the General Plan Update, and the amendment to the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, are hereby approved and adopted in the form as presented in Section V Resolution 2005 - Page 8 of8 and on file in the City Clerk's Office.

I would like to urge you to adopt these amendments suggested by the Planning Staff: I. The amendment allowing only mid-rise buildings in the transit focus area at Third and H. This is clearly what the citizens of western Chula Vista want. 2. The West Fairfield area should stay mixed commercial. A job focus area is definitely what is needed here. 3. The Nelson Trust property should remain open space. There is now a wall of various uses between the citizens of the southwest and the Otay Valley Regional Park. This land could provide needed parks and access to this regional resource. Replacing one industrial use with another is not in the best interests of the citizens. 4. The Southwest Third Avenue community center study area should extend to Orange Avenue. In general the addition of the Environmental Justice language, the clarification of the I,OOO-foot buffer around toxic emitters and the landfill and the consideration of the need for a 500- foot buffer between freeways and residences are welcome improvements. A lot of special study areas have been created that I hope will have extensive opportunities for citizen input. Ten areas ofunmitigatable negative impacts is a great concern. The fact that pages 76, 82, 84, 87, and 91 contain figures that are blank because they are being revised makes one wonder if the GDP is ready for adoption and makes it very difficult to comment on its content. One area of concern from the text is that several villages will not have 3 acres of Neighborhood Park for every 1000 residents. Instead the community park will count for some of this acreage. Neighborhood Parks are an important amenity and necessary for a walkable community. A community park that children will have to be driven to is not the same thing. The county made some very good points in their comments. Chula Vista clearly is causing very negative impacts in the surrounding unincorporated communities as the residents of these communities have been saying. Perhaps, we should consider some way of helping to change this situation. It is inappropriate for the city to be making proposals for county land. The city of San Diego has been trying to get their Source Water Protection Guidelines for Development, adopted in 2004 into the Otay River Watershed Plan. They have also requested that it be in the Chula vista GPU. This seems like a very reasonable request, since over 200,000 people depend upon the Otay Reservoir for drinking water. One of the responses says, "Areas that are currently residential will remain residential." This is not true north of Main Street and west of Fourth where the area to south Zenith is changed in the GPU to Industrial uses. Ed Batchelder's comments at the Planning Commission about improving the jobs/housing balance were welcome. The city needs to fOCllS on this. Table B.3-13 Region-Wide Historical Population, Housing, and Employment Data ity of Chula Visla otal Population 135,160** 174,319** 209.133* 29% 17% ota1 Housing Units 49,846** 59,333** 70,067* 19% 15% otal Employment*** 60,740 70,540 74,180 16% 5% For eight years the city has had ajobs deficit. Making West Fairfield a commercial jobs area, increasing industrial land, the Eastern Urban Core, The University, and the Research/Technology Park are good starts at making up this deficit. The city manager at the GMOC meeting said something about restricting housing to 2,700 units for the next three years. This would also help, but considering how large our deficit is it might take more than this. I would suggest that at the very least the GMOC start tracking the jobs/housing balance. The amount of housing projected to be added by the GPU will require the creation of a lot of high quality jobs if our new residents are going to be able to afford to work in the city. Getting current residents to consider working in the city will require even more jobs. I think it is way past time that Chula Vista made this balance a very high concern. Sincerely, GARY L.

While we have not had an opportunity to review these responses in detail, a brief review reveals that these responses are inadequate. The County will now be reviewing these responses in detail and will be providing detailed responses to you shortly. The County notes that a response to comments was not provided directly to us as required by CEQA Section 15088(b). The County reiterates that we have serious concerns about the proposed GPU, Otay Ranch GDP amendments and associated EIR. Attached you will find a copy of the County's previous November 2, 2005 comment letter on the City of Chula Vista Revised Draft GPU; Draft Re-Circulated Draft EIR (EIR-05-01) including Technical Appendices and the Otay Ranch GDP Amendments. Our serious concerns are reiterated here: 1. Residential land uses within 1,000 feet of the Otay landfill, as proposed under Scenarios 2 and 3 of the Chula Vista GPU is an incompatible land use with significant unmitigable impacts. The City's proposals and policies which propose or would allow residential land uses within 1,000 feet of the landfill are not in compliance with the previous agreement between the County and Chula Vista Revised Draft General Plan Update and Re-circulated Draft EIR - 2 December 7, 2005 the City regarding the landfill buffer. Specifically, on May 15, 1996 (8) (Amended on April 1, 1998(5)), the "Agreement Between the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operation Of Otay Landfill" (Agreement) was entered into. That Agreement dealt with measures needed to protect the ongoing operation of the Otay Landfill, while at the same time allowing land adjacent to the Otay Landfill to be annexed to the City of Chula Vista. One of the measures was the development of a 1,000-foot "Otay Landfill Buffer Area" around the landfill. Within this buffer, the City of Chula Vista agreed to amend their General Plan such that no residential land uses would be allowed, and all allowed uses would be compatible with the operation of the Otay Landfill. On June 11, 1996 (42), the Board of Supervisors implemented another provision of the Agreement, by sending a letter to the City, identifying which of the City's non-residential land use designations permit uses which were compatible with the Landfill. Those acceptable uses were Research and Limited Manufacturing, Industrial and General Industrial, and Open Space, Agriculture, Reserve Floodplain and Parks and Recreational Facilities. Consistent with the Agreement, the County expressly stated that Public, Quasi-public, and Residential land uses were incompatible with the Otay Landfill and not permitted within the Buffer. The Policy 79.5 which states "Limit land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill to open space and limited industrial uses or business parks." does not comply with the agreement referenced above, as it is vague enough to allow residential within the 1,000 foot buffer. Furthermore, the FEIR recognizes a significant and unmitigated impact for Scenarios 3 because of conflicts resulting from land uses proposed for areas adjacent to the Otay Landfill. 2. The GPU includes planning areas east of the Otay Lakes, beyond the current LAFCO Sphere of Influence. The County opposes annexations of lands east of the Otay Lakes, including Village 13. On December 4, 1994, the County Board of Supervisors stated its position on the City of Chula Vista sphere of Influence boundary and provided the following recommendations to the City of Chula Vista and to the Local Agency Formation Commission: "Easterly Sphere Boundary: Reaffirm February 9,1994 (4), tentative Board decision to align the easterly Sphere boundary with the San Bernardino Meridian, which roughly passes through the center of the lower Otay Reservoir. It is further recommended that the San Bernardino alignment bend slightly to follow the center of the Lakes between the upper and lower reservoirs. The recommended alignment will result in Otay Ranch Village 13 (Resort), Village 14 (Proctor Valley), Village 15 (San Ysidro West), Village 16 (Jamul Rural Estate) and Village 17 (San Ysidro East Rural Estate) remaining within the unincorporated County, with the Otay Lakes forming the natural boundary between the City and the unincorporated area." 3. On October 28,1993, during a joint meeting with the Chula Vista City Council, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Otay Ranch General Plan Amendment, Chula Vista Revised Draft General Plan Update and Re-circulated Draft EIR - 3 December 7,2005 GPA 92-04. This GPA adopted Volume 2 of the Otay Subregional Plan text, which contains major policies, recommendations and implementation measures guiding the development of the Otay Ranch project. Many of these policies, recommendations and implementation measures require continued coordination between the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego. Subsequent to this action, the County Board of Supervisors adopted Policy 1- 109 .Subcommittee and Plans to Guide Development of the Otay Ranch Project", which established a subcommittee composed of two members of the Board that have convened on an as-needed basis with a two-member subcommittee of the Chula Vista City Council to provide input and direction to the Board and City Council, staff and the applicant on the following issues/plans: Sphere of Influence Study, Annexation Plans, Property Tax Agreements, Phase II RMP, Overall Design Plan, and other major issues identified by either body. The proposed annexation of land and changes to the Resource Management Plan within the unincorporated area of Otay Ranch were never been presented the Otay Ranch Subcommittee for its consideration and direction to the City Council and Board of Supervisors. Any changes to the Resource Management Plan -- which includes the preserve conveyance plan -- will require consideration by the Otay Ranch Subcommittee as set forth in Board Policy 1-109 as well as action by the Board of Supervisors. Given the comments above and the previous comments attached, the County requests that you not proceed with certification of the EIR until you have had discussions with the County of San Diego to resolve these serious issues. The County of San Diego appreciates the opportunity to continue to participate in the environmental review process for this project. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss these issues, please contact Jennifer Campos at (858) 495-5204. Sincerely, .-;=:: Cln\P' ~:;v JfLc1L GARY L.

CA 91910 RE: Support Letter for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Dear Mayor & City Council members: On behalf of the South Bay Partnership (SBP), a multi-sector, community-focused coalition aimed at improving the health and quality of life of residents throughout the South Bay region (since 1997), I would like to lend our full support toward the acceptance of the City ofChula Vista- General Plan Update and its Revisions. Our coalition's main interest and excitement related to the general plan and the "healthy communities" language recently added in the Summer of 2005 stems fTom our project goal, to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease related to childhood overweight and obesity in the target community of western Chula Vista. TIle California Center for Public Health Advocacy conducted a 2004 study, which revealed that 34% of youth (grades 5, 7, and 9) in Assembly District 79 (includes western Chula Vista) were overweight and that 40% were unfit. The SBP is currently a grantee of The California Endowment, and western Chuln Vista has been chosen as one of six demonstration sites throughout the state of California that will receive over $1.8 million through to Febru2LI)' 2009, to reduce this epidemic in the target area. For the City of Chula Vista, the time is now to enact positive and sustainable change in our cOlllmunity, with a focus on oreservinl! and improving the health and quality ofHfe of current residents as well as generations to come. One such strategy by which to ensure some level of change is for the City of Chula Vista to enhance conummity environments (design) particularly in redevelopment areas, and to advance environmentally focused public policies that will encourage physical activity and increase access to healthy foods. Future proposals of the City of Chula Vista may include the following: I. Provide financial incentives for establishing physical activity facilities, grocery stores, and farmets markets, and improving walkability, particularly in low- income communities. Dec-13-2005 11 :19am Fram-PVH FACILITIES AND DESIGN 819 470 4289 T-228 P 003/003 F-289 2. Adopt and implement "complete streets" policies to provide safe and convenient roadway access for people who walk, bicycle, or use wheelchairs. 3. Establish joint use agreements with school districts to secure the use of school recreational facilities for after-hours use by children and families, especially in neighborhoods that lack adequate, safe, and accessible park and recreational facilities. 4. Eliminate advertising of unhealthy foods and beverages to children and youth. The South Bay parmership coalition feels that the General Plan discussion could not have been initiated at better time because we are aware that more specific redevelopment plans, namely the Urban Corp and Bayfront Committees, wiIl follow suit with the guidelines contained within the City's proposal. Thus, the City of Chula Vista is to be commended for its facilitation of this process of ioclusion, having engaged a multitude of ioterest groups, technical advisors and consultants, to move ahead toward completing a truly comprehensive plan representative ofthe broad range ofinterests tluoughout the community. We are thoroughly impressed with the actions of the City to date, and congratulate the Mayor, City Council, and staff as they move toward dosing this part of the process.

(A.JCr Stephen Power, AICP City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Dpt. 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910-2631 Dear Mr. Power: The purpose of this letter is to provide you with a copy of the Water Authority's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan (2005 Plan), adopted by the Board of Directors on November 17, 2005, and respond to statements made in the December 2005 Environmental Impact Report for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update. The 2005 Plan identifies a diverse mix of resources to meet the future demands of the region. The mix ofresources was developed based on local supply information from our member agencies and previous Board actions on supply development. To ensure we are planning to adequately meet the planned growth of the region, the Water Authority utilized the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) most current growth forecast, the 2030 Growth Forecast, to calculate future demands. The 2005 Plan also provides specific documentation on implementation of the Water Authority's supplies, including information on the development of seawater desalination and the transfer of conserved water through the lining of the AlI American and C'oechella C8n~l~ 2nd existing ~gree!11etlt with the Tnnperi81 Irrigation District. This information can be used by our member agencies in meeting the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221. The EIR prepared for the General Plan Update was prepared based on the Water Authority's 2000 Plan. The recently adopted 2005 Plan addresses many ofthe water supply reliability issues raised in the EIR. As stated in Section 8 of the 2005 Plan, if the projected Water Authority and member agency supplies are developed as planned, along with implementation of Metropolitan Water District's Integrated Resources Plan (IRP), no shortages are anticipated within the Water Authority's service area through 2030. In addition, to mitigate against the risks associated with implementation oflocal and imported supply programs, Metropolitan has established a planning buffer in their IRP. The planning buffer identifies an additional increment of water that could A public agency providing 0 safe and reliable water supply to the San Diego region PRIr,HED ON REOClE:D PAPEk Stephen Powers December 8, 2005 Page 2 potentially be developed if other supplies are not implemented as planned. If managed properly, the planning buffer will help ensure that the southern California region, including San Diego County, will have adequate supplies to meet future demands. Specific information on Metropolitan's IRP and the planning buffer can be found in Metropolitan's adopted 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan. The issue raised in the EIR regarding the proposed General Plan Update being inconsistent with the Plan is addressed in Section 2 of the Water Authority's 2005 Plan. As stated: "Utilizing SANDAG's most recent growth forecast to project future water demands is an important link to the land use plans of the cities and the county. This process ensures supplies are being planned to meet future growth. Any revisions to the land use plans are captured in SANDAG's updated forecasts. The Water Authority will update its demand forecast based on SANDAG's most recent forecast approximately every five years to coincide with preparation of the urban water management plan. Prior to the next forecast update, local jurisdictions may require water supply availability reports under Senate Bills 610 and 221 for proposed land use developments that have a higher density than reflected in the existing growth forecast. The increased density could result in a higher demand for the parcel than originally anticipated. In evaluating the availability of supply, the Water Authority member agency can determine if "offset" supplies are available as a result of other land use decisions, which lowers water use within their service area. In addition, Metropolitan's draft 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan identified potential reserve supplies in the supply capability analysis (Tables II-7, II-8, II-9), which could be available to meet the unanticipated demands. The Water Authority's next forecast and other supply planning documents would then capture this increase in demands." Coordination between the water supply and land use planning agencies is critical to providing a reliable water supply for the region. We support the policies identified in the General Plan Update that focus on coordination between the City of Chula Vista and the water districts. Please feel free to contact me, at 858-522- 6749, or dfriehauf@sdcwa.org, if you have any questions. Sincerely, Q~ 1(du,;f Dana L. Friehauf, P.E.

(An aerial photograph of the Property is attached hereto for your ~ information; the boundary of the Property is outlined in red.) On behalf of the Trust, and on its own behalf, Fliers is seeking City Council approval of a la d use designation for the Property that would optimize its future development potential, but sti I allow for open space and recreational uses on or around the Property. Fliers believes that th goal can best be achieved by the expansion ofthe limited industrial land use designation air dy existing on the northern portion of the Property to cover additional acreage towards the sout . Fliers' proposal is described in Section IV.B.3.b and Attachment 8 of your GPU staff report. The proposed expansion of limited industrial land uses at the site is also presented in all thre alternative development scenarios analyzed in the GPU EIR. : Fliers presents the following arguments in favor of its proposal: 1. , , , I Expansion ofthe limited designation will attract capital to the Property making both I private and public improvements to the Property more likely in the near term. The I applied energy and resources of the Redevelopment Agency could accelerate this pr9cess. Even with the proposed land use change, open space, riparian habitat, and park uses ~ill remain an opportunity and, in some cases, a requirement at the site. The zoning protss I , , 2. I Mayor and City Council of the City ofChula Vista December 13, 2005 Page 2 of2 (probably through a specific plan) and further environmental analysis of the site will . determine the final allocation and location of land uses 3. There is a shortage of developable industrial acreage in the region. The expansion ofithe limited industrial designation at this site would help address that need. 4. Commercial/industrial development of the Property would generate sales tax, tax increment and job opportunities for the benefit of the City. 5. The proposed limited industrial land use extension is consistent with (a) existing uses at the site, (b) a similar proposed expansion of limited industrial uses in the GPU "prefe ed plan" immediately west of the site, and ( c) the overall vision and theme of the Main Street district as an enhanced industrial corridor. 6. The expansion of limited industrial land uses at the site need not slow down approval of the GPU because it is already analyzed in all three alternative scenarios presented in e GPU EIR. Additional findings may need to be drafted, but this could be done by st using the existing EIR analysis. In light of the above, on behalf of itself, and the Nelson Family Trust, Fliers requests that thel City Council encourage the redevelopment of the Property by expanding the existing limited~ industrial land use designation at the site further to the south. If the City Council is not prep red to take such an action at this time, Fliers would request, in the alternative, that the City Coun il direct staff to continue to cooperate with Fliers and to work towards presenting such an , amendment to the City Council for consideration in the near future. Fliers very much appredates that the GPU has been in process for some time and that its request comes relatively late in tile process. If necessary, out of respect for this process, and in the interest of getting the GPU i~ place for the greater good of the City, Fliers is prepared to defer its request to a later date. . Thank you for your consideration of this request. Regardless of your approach, Fliers will continue to work with City staff in order to encourage the near term upgrade of uses at the si1Je. .

Rowlands Jr., City Manager James D. Sandoval, Director of Planning and BUildin~ Deferral of GPU and Otay Ranch GDPA approval for Villages Eight and Nine and the University (formally Village Ten) VIA: FROM: Jim Baldwin is in the process of acquiring the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation and Jewels of Charity lands within the Otay Ranch. Mr. Baldwin, as JPB Development, has expressed desires to help the City achieve our land use goals for the University and the Regional Technology Park. To achieve these goals, staff needs additional time to review and analyze the JPB proposal. Therefore, staff is recommending deferral of the General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP A approval on Villages Eight and Nine and the University (formerly Village Ten) so we can analyze the proposal and work with adjacent property owners. The deferral would be for 120 days to resolve land use and ownership issues involved in the acquisition of the balance of the University campus. The deferral will put off approval of the Village Eight and Nine Town Centers, the Regional Technology Park and the University in the General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP. The balance of the GPU and GDP A of the Otay Ranch is recommended for approval tonight. Staff fully anticipates that this deferral, which enables us to work with the involved property owners, will facilitate the acquisition of land suitable for a full university campus as well as a Regional Technology Park. Within 120 days, staff will report to the City Council on potential General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP amendments. It is anticipated that Development Agreements with JPB Development and the Otay Land Company will also accompany the GPU and GDP amendments. Subsequent General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP amendments not covered in the GPU EIR may also be necessary. These future amendments will need additional enviromnental review and require subsequent documents that may need public review, which will require additional time for the final resolution of the University acquisition.

On behalf of aLl, we have the following conmleDts on the Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City ofChula Vista General Plan Update (RDEIR). We also have enclosed our previous comments to the Draft Environmentallmpact Report for incorporation by reference as if fully set forth herein. Scenarios 2 and 3 oCthc Genera] Plan Update Propose Incomuatible Uses In the Landfill Buffer That Are Not Pennitted By The City's Agreement To Preclude Such Uses Scenarios 2 and 3 of the General Plan Update would allow residential land uses within 1,000 feet of the Otay LandfIll. Residential land uses within the 1000-foot buffer are incompatible with the City ofChula Vista's contractual obligation to preclude Public, Quasi- pllbIic and Residential uses within 1000 feet ofthe landfill. This contractual obligation is found in the Agreement bet ween the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operation ofOtay Landfill (AgTeemcnt), entered into on May 15,1996 (Amended on AprilZ, 1998). The Agreement was assigned to Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware cOIporation (Allied), of which OLJ is a subsidiary. In the Agreement, the Cily agTeed to revise its Generall'lan, zoning and other applicable land use regulations so that no rcsidentialland uses would be allowed within the Landfill Buffer. Moreover, the City committed to assuring that all uscs pennitted within the Landfill Buffer are compatible with the use and operation of the Otay LandfJIl. Chula Vista's failure to do so would constitute a breach of the Agreement.

PubJic, Quasi-public and Residential land uses are not compatible and therefore are not permitted within the 1000-foot-buffer area. The General Plan Update and the RDEIR analyzing it arc inadequate for failing to more clearly abide by the Agreement. Policy LUT 79.5 should be re-drafted to expressly preclude "Public, Quasi-public and Residential land uses in the buffer area. The policy should make clear that it is not only land uses that are "adjacent" to the Otay Landfill in which Public, Quasi-public and Residential land uses are prohibited, but rather that thc prohibition extends 1000 feet around the boundary of the landfill. Scenarios 2 and 3 of the General Plan Update propose residential land use adjacent to the landfill despite thc above-described prohibition. The RDEIR correctly acknowledges that Scenarios 2 and 3 conflict with Policy LUT 79 but should also note that they conflict with the City's contractual obligations. Moreover, the RDEIR's conc:lusion that development of specific development standards or some other undefmed future mitigation would remedy this impact is inaccurate. The City is legally obligated to maintain the buffer prcc1uding the residential uses that would be allowed by Scenarios 2 and 3 and it cannot mitigate the impacts that result trom this conflict, whether through future specific development standards Or otherwise. Likewise, the RDEIR's suggestion that odor impacts resulting trom placing residential land uses within the landfill buffer can be mitigated by allowing such uses only after an odor analysis confirms certain odors are below an undefincd threshold is wrong. First, the RDEIR should not assume that residenlialland uses may be allowed within the landfill buffer area once the landfill is closed or, when open, if a project-specific analysis den10nstrates to the Environmental Review Coordinator that odor effects are below the odor threshold. Residential use within the buffer area would violate the Agreement, as discussed above. Second, the RDEIR fails to demonstrate that the required analysis would adequately prevent any significant odor impacts. Fi.nally, the RDEIR at page 419 fails to discuss the level of significance after mitigation for odor impacts_ The Tonnage and Capacitv Numbers for the Otav Landfill Should Be Updated The RDEIR on pages 531-32 states that the landfill is expected to be operational until 2028 at current generation rates, and lists current disposal rates at 2,260 tons per day. In fact, due to growth in the City of ChuIa Vista and surrounding areas, the Otay Landfill currently accepts approximately 5,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day, up to a maximum of 35,000 tOllS per week. At current and anticipated rates, the capacity exists only until about 2022, six years less than assumed in the RDEIR_ Moreover, even at those daily limits, there still may be a 12/13/05 TUE 15:27 FAX 619 234 3815 SMR&H SANDIEGO 141004 SHEPPARD MULLIN mCH.'rER & IIAMPTON LLP Steve Power EnviTonmentaI PTOjccts ManageT City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Department pecember 13, 2005 Page 3 shortage of dail y capacity in the County of San Diego's landfill system due to increasing population growth in the area and the daily tonnage limits imposed under the various landfills' current pennits_ As a result, there may not be sufficient capacity to serve additional development at buildout of tbe preferred plan or Scenarios 1, 2 or 3.

On behalf of OLI, we have the foJlowing comments on the Draft Environmental hnpact Report for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update (DEIR). The General Plan Update Proposes Incomnatible Uses In the Landfill Buffer That Are Not P=itted By The City's Prior Agreement To Preclude Such Uses According to the DEIR., the Otay Landfill is located in the East Main Street Subarea of the General Plan, and is surrounded on three sides by the Western District of the East Planning Area. The DEIR. correctly notes that the presence of the landfill "makes it import:mt that appropriale land uses be established in adjacent areas that buffer the landfill." DEIR at 3.5.1.3. The DEIRshould also note that it also is a contractual requirement of the City ofChula Vista that nO update or amendment to thc City's Gener'",l Plan be processed tbat would allow uses incompalible with landfill opera1lons ill either Village 2 of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) or generallywithrn approximalely 1000 feet of the landfill (collectively, the Landfill Buffer). This contractual obligation precluding incompatible uses in the Landfill Buffer is found in the 1996 Agreement between the County of San Diego and the City ofChula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operalion of Otay Landfill (Agreement), which was assigned to Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Allied). au is a subsidiary of Allied. In the Agreement, the City of Chula Vista agreed to revise its General Plan, zoning and other applicable land use regulations so that no residential land uses would be allowed within the Landfill Buffer. Moreover, in the Agreement, tbe City of ChuJa Vista committed to assuring that ,"i ~):\ >;,~ *,; ~." "i'!; ~, I ,i;t ;~.:\).

Chula Vista's failure to do so would constitute a breach of the Agreement. Ped"onnance Of A Health Risk Assessment Does Not Mitigate Potential Incompatibilities That Could Arise From Residential Uses Within the Landfill Buffer AccordiPg to the project description iP Section 3.0 of the DEIR, the Preferred Plan and Scenario I propose industrial land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill andetiminate the option forresidentiaJ uses in place of industrial uses within Village Three of the OtayEanch GDP. Scenarios 2 and 3, in contrnst, propose residential land use adjacent to the landfill. The DEIR's conclusion thaI potentially significant impacts resulting from such uses would be fully mitigated if the developer first perfonns a Health Risk Assessment (lIRA) is wrong. The incompatibility would not be remedied by Mitigation Measure 5.1-2, which would allow residential uses where an HRA demonstrates that the cancer and acute health risks are below accepted thresholds. There are reasons other than health and safety for precluding residential uses from the Landfill Buffer, including the fact that residents near landfills may complain about noise and odor issues. Those potential impacts and land use adj acency issues would not be mitigated by an BRA. Mitigation Measure 5.1-2 addresses only a liniited area of potential land use adjacency impacts, and is not sufficient to mitigate the potential impacts resulting from incompatibility. Moreover, an HRA requirement does not address the fact that the Agreement precludes such uses irrespective of any HRA. There Is Insufficient Xnfotmation For A Conclusion That There Is No Significant hnpact Resulting :From Adoption ofLUT 74 and LUT 76 Objectives LUT 74 and LUT 76 set policies for appropriate land uses adjacent to the Otay LandfiJl. LUT 74 caJls for development of Village Two of the Otay Ranch GDP "as a pedestrian-oriented transit village providiPg a range of housing types, community facilities and open space, with appropriate land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill." The quoted language is not specific regarding what land uses would be aJlowed adjacent to the Otay Landfill, or what factors would be used to determine "appropriateness." The DEIR cannot conclude that the potentially significant land use impact tltat may result from locating residential uses'next to the Otay Landfill have been ful1y mitigated by such an objective, since tlte wording of the objective does not limit the uses to non-rcsidential ones. Moreover, the objective itself calls for the Village adjacent to the landfill to be "pedestrian-oriented" with a variety of housing and community facilities. Community facilities with sensitive receptors would be potentially incompatible in the Landfill Buffer and, in fact, both such fadlities and residential uses would conflict with the Landfil1 Buffer now in place. Thus, the General Plan Update, and the DEIR's description of it, should clarify that no residential use will be allowed in the Landfill Buffer, with or without an HRA. ".',!'"

The DE]R's conclusion that Mitigation Measure 5.11-2 would fully mitigate potentially significant impacts from odor is wrong. That mitigation measure __ requiring an HRA prior to allowing residential uses within the Landfill Buffer __ does nothing to address potential odor impacts. An lIRA does not consider odor. Moreover, allowing residential uses within the established Landfill Buffer wou1d be inconsistent with the Agreement as discussed above. The DEIR Does Not Prouose Mitigation Measures That Would Avoid Incompatibility Between the Landfill and Residences Within the Landfill Buffer Resulting from potential Noise hnpacts Page 358 of the DEIR states that there is a potential for noise impacts on residential uses in the Western District ofthe Otay Ranch Subarea, depending on which area of the landfill is being used as the working face. It is pot clear how such a potential impact is mitigated by the measures proposed. Unless the DEIR can demonstrate that the noise levels that could be generated at the landfill would not impact residential uses in the Landfill Buffer, the potential impact should be considered significant and the CQPclusion ofthe DElR revised appropriately. hI any event, residential use in the Landfill Buffer would be inconsistent with the Agreement precluding such use, regardless of noise levels. LUT 67 Should Be Described AJJd The Conclusions Regarding It Suoported The DEJR on page 120 states that proposed Land Use and Transportatiop Element Objective LUT 67 and associated policies would establish policies that direct future development within the East Main Street Subarea, which includes the Otay Landfill. However, the DElR does Dot provide the text of LUT 67, nor does it provide any support for the conclusion that it would not create a significant impact. As a result, the DElR should be revised to provide both the wording of Objective LUT 67 and the policies supporting it, and an exp1anatiop of how the conclusion that LUT 67 and its implementing policies would not have a significant impact was reached. The Reference to Otav L.ndfill On Page 323 of the DEIR Should Be Corrected The DEJR on page 323 erroneously states that the "future location and nature of the operation of the landfill is currently be [sic] reviewed, and poteutial air effects have not yet been determined." There is no proposal for any other, "future" location for the Otay LalJdfill, and air impacts from the landfiU's operation already have been determined and were analyzed in the !andfiU's EJR when it was certified. The DElR presumably meant to reference the South Bay Power Plant, not the Otay Landfill, and the referepce should be corrected. ~007 '~I, ill ~'It !:~ ", ~1J ~.

Ncither of these tonnage numbers is accurate. Due to growth in the City ofChula Vista and sUITOImding areas, the Otay Landfill currently accepts approximately 5,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day, up to a maximum of 35,000 tons per week_ As a result, the Otay Landfill is expected to be at its capacity in approximately 202 I, unless measures are taken to divert tonnage to other landfills in the region. The Existing General Plan Precludes Ineompatible Uses In the Landfill Buffer Page 497 ofthe DEJR says the potential for incompatibilities between land uses is the same in the General Plan as in the General Plan Update, in part because the adopted General Plan "would allow the conflicting land use ofthe landfill and neighboring/underlying land uses to remain." That statement is misleading- In fact, the pott:ntial conflict with residential land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill are only theoretical under the adopted General Plan, because the allowance of residential use is found only in the County of San Diego zoning, which no longer applies to that property- The property has been annexed into the City of Chula Vista, and a1lows only industrial use in the Landfill Buffer.

On behalf of au, we have the following comments on the Recirculated Draft Enviromnental Impact Report for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update (RDEIR). We also have enclosed our previous comments to the Draft Environmental Impact Report for incorporation by reference as if fully set forth herein. Scenarios 2 and 3 ofthe General Plan Update Propose Incompatible Uses In the Landfil1 Buffer That Are Not Permitted Bv The City's Agreement To Preclude Such Uses Scenarios 2 and 3 of the General Plan Update would allow residential land uses within 1,000 feet of the Otay Landfill. Residential land uses within the !ODD-foot buffer are incompatible with the City of Chula Vista's contractual obligation to preclude Public, Quasi" public and Residcntial uses within 1000 feet of the landfill. This contractual obligation is found in the Agreement between the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and OpeTation ofOtay Landfill (Agreement), entered into on May 15, 1996 (Amended on April 2, 1998). The Agreement was assigned to Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Allied), ofwhieh au is a subsidiary. In the Agreement, the City agreed to revise its General Plan, zoning and other applicable land use regulations so that no residcntial land uses would be allowed within the Landfill Buffer. Moreover, the City committed to assuring that all uses permitted within the Landfill Buffer arc compatible with the use and opcration of the Otay Landfill. Chula Vista's failure to do so would constitute a bTeach ofthe Agreement. The only uses compatible with the 12/13/05 TUE 15:20 FAX 619 234 3815 SMR&H SANDIEGO I4J 003 Sf!l!PPAIID MULLIN RICJfl'F..R & HAMI'mN j,jJ' 5\teve Power Environmental Projects Managl.T City of Chula Vista Planning and Duilding Department December 13, 2005 Page 2 landfill that are allowable within the 1000-foot buffer are Research and Limited Manufacturing, Industrial and General Tndustrial, and Open Space, Agricultural, Reserve Floodplain and Parks and Recreational Facilities. Public, Quasi-public and Residential land uses are not compatible and thereFore are not permitted within the 1000-foot-buffer area. The General Plan Update and the RDEIR analyzing it are inadequate for failing to more clearly abide by the Agreement. Policy LUT 79.5 should be re-drafted to expressly preclude Public, Quasi-public and Residential Iand uses in the buffer area. Thc poJicy shonld make clear that it is not only land uses that aTe "adjacent" to the Otay Landfill in which Public, Quasi-public and Residential land uses aTe prohibited, but rather that the prohibition extends 1000 feet around the boundary of the landfilL Scenarios 2 and 3 of the General Plan Update propose residential land use adjacent to the landfill despite the above-described prohibition. The RDEIR correctly acknowledges that Scenarios 2 and 3 conflict with Policy LUT 79 but should also note that they conflict with the City's contractual obligations. Moreover, the RDEIR's conclusion that development of specific development standards or some other undefined future mitigation would remedy this impact is inaccurate. The City is legally obligated to maintain the buffer precluding the residential uses that would be allowed by Scenarios 2 and 3 and it cannot mitigate the impacts that result from this conflict, whether through future specific development standaTds or otherwise. Likewise, the RDEIR's suggestion that odor impacts resulting from placing residential land uses within the landfill buffer can be mitigated by allowing such uses only after an odor analysis confirms certain odors are below an undefined threshold is wrong. First, the RDEIR should not assume that residential land uses may be allowed within the landfiH buffer area oncc the landfill is closed or, when open, if a project-specific analysis demonstrates to the Envirorrmrntal Review Coordinator that odor effects are below the odor threshold. Residential use within the buffer area would violate the Agreemcnt, as discussed above. Second, the RDEIR fails 10 demonstrate that the required analysis would adequately prevent any significant odor impacts. Finally, the RDEIR at page 419 fails to discuss the level of significance after mitigation for odor impacts. . The Tonnage and Capacity Numbers for the Otay Landfill Should Be Updated The RDEIR on pages 531-32 states that the landfill is expected to be operational until 2028 at current generation rates, and lists current disposal rates at 2,260 tons per day. In fact, due to growth in Ihe City of Chula Vista and surrounding areas, thc Otay Landfill currently accepts approximately 5,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day, up to a maximum of35,000 tons per week. At current and anticipated rates, the capacity exists only untiT about 2022, six years less than assumed in U1e RDETR.

On behalf of aLl, we have the following comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City ofChula Vista General Plan Update (DEIR). The General Plan Uodate Proooses IncoIDoatible Uses In the Landfill Buffer That Are Not Pennitted Bv The City's Prior Ae:reement To Preclude Such Uses According to the DEIR, the Otay Landfill is located iri the East Main Street Subarea ofthe General Plan, and is suuounded on three sides by the Western District of the East Plamring Area. The DElR correctly notes that the presence of the landfill "makes it important that appropriate land uses be established in adjacent areas that buffer thc landfill." DEIR at 3.5.1.3. The DElR should alBO note that it also is a contractual requirement of the City ofChula Vista that no update or amendment to thc City's General Plan be processed that would anow uses incompatible with laridfill operations in either Village 2 of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) or genera\1ywithin approximately 1000 feet of the landfill (collectively, the Landfill Buffer). . This contractual obligation precluding incompatible uses in the Landfill Buffer is found in the 1996 Agreement between thc County of San Diego and the City ofChula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operation of Otay Landfill (Agreement), which was assigned to Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Allied). OLl is a subsidiary of Allied. In thc Agreement, the City of Chula Vista agreed to revise its General Plan, zooing and other applicable land use regulations so that nO' residential hmd uses would be allowed within the Landfill Buffer.

HAMPTON W' Febroar)' 14, 2005 Page 2 all uses permitted within the Landfill Buffer are coUIpatible with the use and qperatioD' of the Otay Landfill. Chula Vista's failure to do so would constitute a breach of the Agreement. 'r '. {', i~ '. Performance Of A Health Risk Assessment Does Not Miti gate Potential Incompatibilities That Could Arise From Residential Uses Within the Laudfill Buffer According to the project description in Section 3.0 of the DEIR. the P1;eferred Plan and Scenario 1 propose industrial land uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill and. eliminate the optioD for residential uses in place of industrial uses within Village Three of the Otay Ranch GDP. Scenarios 2 and 3, in contrast, propose residential land use adjacent to the landfill. The DEIR's conclusion that potentially significant impacts resulting from such uses would be fully mitigated if the developer first perfomls a Health Risk Assessment (lIRA) is wrong. The incompatibility would not be remedied by Mitigation Measure' 5.1-2, which would allow residential uses where an HRA demonslIates that the cancer and acute health risks are below accepted thresholds. There are reasons other than health and safety for precluding residential uses from the Landfill Buffer, including the fact .that residents near landfills may complaio about noise and odor issues. Those potential impacts and land use adjacency issues would not be mitigated by an BRA. Mitigation Measure 5.1-2 addresses only a limited area of potential land use adjacency impacts, and is Dot sufficient to mitigate the potential impacts resulting fi'nm incompatibility. Moreover, an HRA requirement does Dot address the fact that the Agreement precludes such uses irrespective of any HRA. " ,~ ;. , Objectives LVT 74 and LUT 76 set policies for appropriate land uses adjacent to the Otay LandfilL LUT 74 calls for development of Village Two of the Otay Ranch GDP "as a pedestrian-oriented transit village providing a range of housing types, community facilities and open space, with appropriate land uses adjacent to the Otay LandfilL" The quoted language is not specific regarding what land uses would be allowed adjacent to the Otay Landfill, o. what factors would be used to determine "appropriateness." The DEIR cannot conclude that the potentiaJly significant land use impact that may result fiom locating residential Wjes'next to the Otay Landfill have been fully mitigated by such an objective, since the wo.ding of the objective does not limit the uses to non-residential ones. Moreover, the objective itself calls for the Village adjacent to the landfill to be "pedestrian-oriented" with a variety ofhousiug and community facilities. Community facilitieS with sensitive receptors would be potentially incompatible in the Laildf11l Buffer and, in fact, both such facilities and .esidential uses would conflict with the Landfill Buffet' now in place. Thus, the General Plan Update, and the DEIR's description of it, should clarify that no residential use will be allowed in the Landfill Buffer, with or wilbout an lIRA.

F.brilary 14,2005 Page 3 Potential Odor Impacts Would Not Be Mitigated Bv PenomuUlee of anHRA The DEIR states on page 324 that I'll of the scenarios, even the PrefelTed Plan and Scenario 1, would increase residential density downwind of the landfill and thereby potenti ally expose morc people to potentially objectionable odoIS. The DEIR's conclusion tbat Mitigation Measure 5.11-2 would fully mitigate potentially significant impacts ftom odor is wrong. That mitigation measure - requiring an lIRA prior to allowing residential uses within the Landfill Buffer -- does nothing to address potential odor impacts. An HRA does not consider odor. Moreover, allowing residential uses within the established Landfill Buffer would be inconsistent with the Agreement, as discussed above. The DEIR Does Not Propose MitiEation Measures That Would Avoid Incompatibility Between the Landfill and Residences Within the Landfill Buffer ResultinE ftom Potential Noise ImDacts Page 358 of the DEIR states that there is a potential for noise impacts on residential uses in the Western District of the Otay Ranch Subarea, depending on which area of the landfill is being used as the working face. It is not clear how such a potential impact is mitigated by the measures proposed. Unless the DEIR can demonstrate that the noise levels that could be generaled at the landfill would not impact residential uses in the Landfill Buffer, the potential impact should bc considered signifieant and the conclusion of the DEIR revised appropriately. In any event, residential use in the Landfill Buffer would be inconsistent with the Agreement precluding such use, regardless of noise levels. LUT 67 Should Be Described And The Conclusions Regarding It SUPDorted The DEIR on page 120 states that proposed Land Use and Transportation Element Objective LUT 67 and associated policies would establish policies that direct future development within the East Main Street Subarea, which includes the Otay Landfill. However, the DEIR does not provide the text ofLUT 67, nor does it provide any support for the conclusion that it would not create a significant impact. As a result, the DEIR should be revised to provide both the wording of Objective LUT 67 and the policies supporting it, and an explanation of how the conclusion that LUT 67 and its implementing policies would not have a significant impact was reached. The Reference to Otav LandfiJ1 On Pae:e 323 of the DEIR Should Be COlTected The DEIR on page 323 elToneously states tbat the "future location and nature of the operation orthe landfill is currently be [sic] reviewed, and potential air effects have not yet been determined." There is no proposal for any othe:r, "future" location for the Otay LandfiIJ, and air impacts from the landfill's operation already have been determined and were analyzed in the landfill!s EIR when it was certified. The DEIR presumably meant to reference the South Bay Power Plant, not the Otay Landfill, and the reference should be corrected. I4J 007 w Ii). ~j '''"' ~...

On page 459, the DEIR states that the Otay Landfill currently accepts 4,000 tons per day. Neither ofthese tonnage numbers is accurate. Due to growth in the City of Chula Vista and su.rrounding areas, the Otay Landfill currently accepts approximately 5,000 tons ofUlImicipal solid waste per day, up to a maximum of35,000 tons per week.. As a Tesult, the Otay Landfill is expccted to be at its capacity in approximately 2021, unless measures are taken to divert tonnage to other landfills in the region. The Existing General Plan Precludes Incomuatible Uses In the Landfill Buffer Page 497 of the DEIR says the potential for incompatibilities between land uSes is the same in the Gener..! Plan as in the General Plan Update, in part because the adopted General Plm "would allow the conflicting land use of the landfill and neighboring/underlying land uses to remain." That statement is misleading. In fact, the potential conflict with residential land uSeS adjacent to the Otay Landfill are only theoretical under the adopted General Plan, because the allowance of residential use is found only in the County of San Diego zoning, which no longer applies to that property. The property has been annexed into the City of Chula Vista, and allows only industrial use in the Landfill Buffer. Thus, no real land uSe adjacency issues resulting ftom the County's zoning of what is now City property exist under the adopted Genera! plan. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the DEIR.

Fliers has been engaged by the Trust to represent their mutual interests in this matter, with Fliers taking the lead. Fliers is seeking City approval of a land use designation for the site that would maximize its future development potentia~ but still allow for appropriate open space and recreational uses on or around the Property. Fliers believes that this balance 1If land uses on and arouud the Property can best be achieved by adopting anyone oftbe alternative land use scenarios proposed for the Property by the GPU in the Em. Each one of these alternative scenarios contemplates the expansion of the limited indnstrialland use designation already existing on the northern portion ofthe Property to cover additional acreage towards the south. Fliers' proposal is referred to briefly in Section IV.B.3.b of your staff report at page 25. The ProDertv The Property is comprised of multiple contiguous parcels located immediately south of Main Street, between Fourth Avenue (to the east and north) and BroadwaylBeyer Boulevard (to the west), extending south to the City of San Diego border. An aerial photograph of the Property is attached for your information. The Property boundary is outlined in red. As the photograph indicates, the Property is currently dedicated in part to agricultural uses, in part to truck storage, and in part to a construction materials mixing and distribution business conducted by Hanson Aggregates, a tenant on the Property. Other portions of the property are comprised of unused "open space" and riparian habitat, both disturbed and undisturbed. Planning Commission of the City ofChula Vista , December 8, 2005 Page 2 of3 The General Plan In terms of the General Plan Update, the Property is located within the Southwest Planning Area, Main Street District. In its current draft the GPU "preferred plan" appears to designate a significant portion of the southern reaches of the Property as "open space". In contrast, all three "alternative" land use plans that are analyzed in the EIR propose that a "limited industrial" land use designation be applied to a significant portions ofthis acreage. The text excerpts within the EIR's Project Description Sections that appear to support the "limited industrial" alternative read as follows: "Provide for additional indusJrialland uses, within areas currently subject to resource extraction, between Beyer Way and Broadway," Both the preferred plan and the analyzed alternatives retain a floating Community Park designation "in the area" of the Property, The Property is also located within the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area, Al1!uments in Favor of Extendinl! the Limited hldustrial Land Use Desil!nation 1. Expansion of the limited designation would encourage the Property owner to invest in the Property and make both private and public improvements to the Property more likely in the near term. 2. Even with the land use change, open space, riparian habitat, and park uses will remain an opportunity and, in some cases, a requirement at the site. The zoning process and further environmental analysis of the site wiD determine the final allocation and location of land uses. 3. There is a shortage of developable industrial acreage in the region;.the expansion of the limited industrial designation at this site would help address that need. 4. Commercial/industrial development ofthe Property would generate sales tax, tax increment and job opportunities for the benefit of the City. 4. The expansion of limited industrial land uses at the site would not slow down approval of the GPU because it is already analyzed in the ErR. Additional findings may be required, but could be made using the existing EIR analysis. ReQuest for Action hi light of the above, on behalf of itself, and the Nelson Family Trust, Fliers requests that the Planning Commission encourage the redevelopment of the Property by expanding the existing limited industrial land use designation at the site further to the south. Because this change is already reflected and analyzed in each of the alternative scenarios under consideration in the GPU EIR this modification to the GPU need not complicate or delay City Council's overall adoption of the GPU. Planning Commission of the City ofChula Vista December 8, 2005 Page 3 on Fliers will continue to work with City staff in order to encourage the near term upgrade of uses at the site in a manner that is consistent with good planning principles. Fliers efforts in this regard would be greatly encouraged and aided by your recommendation on December 8th to expand the limited industrial land use designation at the site. Thank you for your consideration of this request. cc. Mr. Earl Tritt, President, Fliers Incorporated 12/07/2005 15:55 8585343373 COUNTY SD DPLU ~JD PAGE 02/21 GIIRY L.

While we have not had an opportunity to review these responses in detail, a brief review reveals that these responses are inadequate. The County will now be reviewing these responses in detail and will be providing detailed responses to you shortly. The County notes that a response to comments was not provided directly to us as required by CECA Section 15088(b). The County reiterates that we have serious concerns about the proposed GPU, Otay Ranch GDP amendments and a:;;sociated EIR. Attached you will find a copy of the County's previous November 2, 2005 comment letter on the City of Chula Vista Revised Draft GPU; Draft Re-Circulated Draft EIR (EIR-05-01) including Technical Appendices and the Otay Ranch GDP Amendments. Our serious concerns are reiterated here: 1. Residential land uses within 1,000 feet of the Otay landfill, as proposed under Scenarios 2 and 3 of the Chula Vista GPU is an incompatible land use with significant unmitigable impacts. The City's proposals and policies which propo:;;e or would allow re:;;idential land uses within 1,000 feet of the landfill are not in compliance with the previous agreement between the County and 1712005 15: 55 8585943373 COUNTY SD DPLU PAGE 03/21 Chula Vista Revised Draft General Plan Update and Re-circulated Draft EIR - 2 December 7, 2005 . the City regarding the landfill buffer. Specifically, on May 15, 1996 (8) (Amended on April 1, 1998(5)), the "Agreement Between the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operation Of Otay Landfill" (Agreement) was entered into. That Agreement dealt with measures needed to protect the ongoing operation of the Otay Landfill, while at the same time allowing land adjacent to the Otay Landfill to be annexed to the City of Chula Vista. One of the measures was the development of a 1,000-foot "Otay Landfill Buffer Area" around the landfill. Within this buffer, the City of Chula Vista agreed to amend their General Plan such that no residential land Uses would be allowed, and all allowed uses would be compatible with the operation of the Otay Landfill. On June 11, 1996 (42), the Board of Supervisors implemented another provision of the Agreement, by sending a letter to the City, identifying which of the City's non-residential land use designations permit uses which were compatible with the Landfill. Those acceptable uses were Research and Limited Manufacturing, Industrial and General Industrial, and Open Space. Agriculture, Reserve Floodplain arid Parks and Recreational Facilities. Consistent with the Agreement, the County expressly stated that Public, Quasi-public, and Residential land uses were incompatible with the Otay Landfill and not permitted within the Buffer. The Policy 79.5 which states "Limit land Uses adjacent to the Otay Landfill to ~ ? open space and limited industrial uses or business parks." does not comply with the agreement referenced above, as it is vague enough to allow residential within the 1.000 foot buffer. Furthermore, the FEIR recognizes a significant and unmitigated impact for Scenarios 3 because of conflicts resulting from land uses proposed for areas adjacent to the Otay Landfill. 2. The GPU includes planning areas east of the Otay Lakes, beyond the current LAFCO Sphere of Influence. The County opposes annexations of lands east of the Otay Lakes, including Village 13. On December 4, 1994. the County Board of Supervisors stated its position on the City of Chula Vista sphere of Influence boundary and provided the following recommendations to the City of Chula Vista and to the Local Agency Formation Commission: "Easterly Sphere Boundary: Reaffirm February 9, 1994 (4), tentative Board decision to align the easterly Sphere boundary with the San Bernardino Meridian, which roughly passes through the center of the lower Otay Reservoir. It is further recommended that the San Bernardino alignment bend slightly to follow the center of the Lakes between the upper and lower reservoirs. The recommended alignment will result in Otay Ranch Village 13 (Resort). Village 14 (Proctor Valley), Village 15 (San Ysidro West), Village 16 (Jamul Rural Estate) and Village 17 (San Ysidro East Rural Estate) remaining within the unincorporated County, with the Otay Lakes forming the natural boundary between the City and the unincorporated area." 3. On October 28, 1993. during a joint meeting with the Chula Vista City Council, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Otay Ranch General Plan Amendment, 12/07/2005 15:55 8585943373 COUNTY SD DPLU PAGE 04/21 Chula Vista Revised Draft General Plan Update and Re-circulated Draft EIR - 3 December 7.2005 GPA 92-04. This GPA adopted Volume 2 of the Otay Subregional Plan text, which contains major policies, recommendations and implementation measures guiding the development of the Otay Ranch project. Many of these policies, recommendations and implementation measures require continued coordination between the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego. Subsequent to this action, the County Board of Supervisors adopted Policy 1- 109 "Subcommittee and Plans to Guide Development of the otay Ranch Project", which established a subcommittee composed of two members of the Board that have convened on an as-needed basis with a two-member subcommittee of the Chula Vista City Council to provide input and direction to the Board and City Council, staff and the applicant on the following issues/plans: Sphere of Influence Study, Annexation Plans, Property Tax Agreements, Phase II RMP, Overall Design Plan, and other major issues identified by either body. The proposed annexation of land and changes to the Resource Management Plan within the unincorporated area of Otay Ranch were never been presented the otay Ranch Subcommittee for its consideration and direction to the City Council and Board of Supervisors. Any changes to the Resource Management Plan -- which includes the preserve conveyance plan - will require consideration by the Otay Ranch Subcommittee as set forth in Board Policy 1-109 as well as action by the Board of Supervisors. Given the comments above and the previous comments attached, the County requests that you not proceed with certification of the EIR until you have had discussions with the County of San Diego to resolve these serious issues. The County of San Diego appreciates the opportunity to continue to participate in the environmental review process for this project.

We have testified before you on this issue but hoped to provide you with additional information. Below please find some background and proposed language changes. The current language is at the bottom. We request that the Planning Commission reconunend the change below to the Council for adopted with the GPU at their December 13, 2005. Backgrouud Relative to adjacent location of highways and sensitive receptors EHC strongly believe that EE 6.10 should be revised to reflect current science and land use guidance related to sensitive uses and freeways. The current language implies that there are federal and state standards in existence to protect people from locating housing from the impacts of highway pollution. While SB 352, passed in 2003, restricts the location of schools within 500 feet of a freeway, we are unaware of any formal standards or regulations that address location of housing in these locations. However, the Air Resources Board has taken a strong position on this matter in their Land Use Planning Guidance adopted this year that recommends a 500 foot buffer between freeways and sensitive receptors due to known health impacts in that zone. In effect, the ARB has already done a generic kind of risk assessment and has concluded that it is a significant health risk to locate sensitive receptors in the 500 foot zone. Additional studies continue to confirm this (see below) and there have been several news articles on this issue ofJate. We recommend that a policy be revised to express a preferred prohibition on locating sensitive uses in this zone (at least housing and schools) unless there is some finding of extremely over- riding benefit, circumstances that we cannot anticipate today, or such a pressing need for this land use which is not possible to meet in a more healthful location. In this kind of case, then the requirement to do an HRA would be pursued and attempts to mitigate made. In this case, full notification of future residents should be required. Here is our suggestion: PROPOSED Revision (EE 6.10) In compliance with the Air Resources Board Land Use Planning Guidelines and SB 352, the siting of sensitive receptors within 500 feet of highways resulting from development or redevelopment projects shall be avoided. In the event that there is an extreme need or mitigating circumstance, overriding considerations can be made to this policy in conjunction with preparation of a conservative health risk assessment as part of the CEQA review of the project and attendant health risks identified in the HRA being mitigated to the maximum extent practicable and allfuture residents notified of the health risks.. . Current Language of EE 6.10 (page 78 of the revision document) The siting of sensitive receptors within 500 feet of highways resulting from development or redevelopment projects shall require the preparation of a health risk assessment as part of the CEQA review of the project. Attendant health risks identified in the HRA shall be feasibly mitigated to the maximum extent practicable in accordance with CEQA, in order to help ensure that applicable federal and state standards are not exceeded. Thank you for your consideration of this important issue. Additional information on Health Risks. KEY STUDIES ON AIR POLLUTION AND HEALTH EFFECTS NEAR HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS Compiled by the Environmental Law and Policy Center and the Sierra Club Air Pollution from Busy Roads Linked to Shorter Life Spans for Nearby Residents . Dutch researchers looked at the effects of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollutants on 5,000 adults. They found that people who lived near a main road were almost twice as likely to die from heart or lung disease and 1.4 times as likely to die from any cause compared with those who lived in less-trafficked areas. Researchers say these results are similar to those seen in previous U.S. studies on the effects of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution. The authors say traffic emissions contain many pollutants that might be responsible for the health risks, such as ultrafine particles, diesel soot, and nitrogen oxides, which have been linked to cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Hoek, Brunekreef, Goldbohn, Fischer, van den Brandt. (2002). Association between mortality and indicators of traffic-related air pollution in the Netherlands: a cohort study. Lancet, 360 (9341): 1203-9. Truck Traffic Linked to Childhood Asthma Hospitalizations A study in Erie County, New York (excluding the city of Buffalo) found that children living in neighborhoods with heavy truck traffic within 200 meters of their homes had increased risks of asthma hospitalization. The study examined hospital admission for asthma amongst children ages 0-14, and residential proximity to roads with heavy traffic. Un, Munsie, Hwang, Fitzgerald, and Cayo. (2002). Childhood Asthma Hospitalization and Residential Exposure to State Route Traffic. Environmental Research, Section A, Vol. 88, pp. 73-81. Pregnant Women Who Live Near High Traffic Areas More Likely to Have Premature and Low Birth Weight Babies. Researchers observed an approximately 10-20% increase in the risk of premature birth and low birth weight for infants born to women living near high traffic areas in Los Angeles County. In particular, the researchers found that for each one part per million increase in annual average carbon monoxide concentrations where the women lived, there was a 19% and 11 % increase in risk for low birth weight and premature births, respectively. Wilhelm, Ritz. (2002). Residential Proximity to Traffic and Adverse Birth Outcomes in Los Angeles County, California, 1994-1996. Environmental Health Perspectives. doi: 10. 1289/ehp.5688. Traffic-Related Air Pollution Associated with Respiratory Symptoms in Two Year Old Children. This cohort study found that two year old children who are exposed to higher levels of traffic- related air pollution are more likely to have self-reported respiratory illnesses, including wheezing, ear/nose/throat infections, and reporting of physician-diagnosed asthma, flu or serious cold. Brauer et al. (2002). Air Pollution from Traffic and the Development of Respiratory Infections and Asthmatic and Allergic Symptoms in Children. Am J Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Vol. 166 pp 1092-1098. People Who Live Near Freeways Exposed to 25 Times More Particle Pollution Studies conducted in the vicinity of Interstates 405 and 710 in southern California found that the number of ultrafine particles in the air was approximately 25 times more concentrated near the freeways and that pollution levels gradually decrease to near normal (background) levels around 300 meters, or 990 feet, downwind from the freeway. The researchers note that motor vehicles are the most significant source of ultrafine particles, which have been linked to increases in mortality and morbidity. Recent research concludes that ultrafine particles are more toxic than larger particles with the same chemical composition. Moreover, the researchers found considerably higher concentrations of carbon monoxide pollution near the freeways. Zhu, Hinds, Kim, Sioutas. Concentration and size distribution of ultrafine particles near a major highway. Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association.. September 2002. Zhu, Hinds, Kim, Shen, Sioutas. Study of ultrafine particles near a major highway with heavy- duty diesel traffic. Atmospheric Environment. 36(2002),4323-4335. Asthma More Common for Children Living Near Freeways. A study of nearly 10,000 children in England found that wheezing illness, including asthma, was more likely with increasing proximity of a child's home to main roads. The risk was greatest for children living within 90 meters of the road. Venn et al. (2001). Living Near A Main Road and the Risk of Wheezing Illness in Children. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Vol. 164, pp 2177-2180. A study of 1,068 Dutch children found that asthma, wheeze, cough, and runny nose were significantly more common in children living within 100 meters of freeways. Increasing density of truck traffic was also associated with significantly higher asthma levels - particularly in girls. van Vliet et a/. (1997). Motor exhaust and chronic respiratory symptoms in children living near freeways. Environmental Research. 74:12-132. Children Living Near Busy Roads More Likely to Develop Cancer A 2000 Denver study showed that children living within 250 yards of streets or highways with 20,000 vehicles per day are six times more likely to develop all types of cancer and eight times more likely to get leukemia. The study looked at associations between traffic density, power lines, and all childhood cancers with measurements obtained in 1979 and 1990. It found a weak association from power lines, but a strong association with highways. It suggested that benzene pollution might be the cancer promoter causing the problem. Pearson et a/. (2000). Distance-weighted traffic density in proximity to a home is a risk factor for leukemia and other childhood cancers. Journal of Air and Waste Management Association 50:175-180. Most Traffic-Related Deaths Due to Air Pollution, Not Traffic Accidents Another study analyzed the affect of traffic-related air pollution and traffic accidents on life expectancy in the area of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It estimated that 4325 deaths in this region would result from motor vehicle emissions compared to 891 from traffic accidents (over a lifetime). Szagun and Seidel. (2000). Mortality due to road traffic in Baden-Aurttemberg - air pollution, accidents, noise. Gesundheitswesen. 62(4): 225-33. Emissions from Motor Vehicles Dominate Cancer Risk The most comprehensive study of urban toxic air pollution ever undertaken shows that motor vehicles and other mobile sources of air pOllution are the predominant source of cancer-causing air pollutants in Southern California. Overall, the study showed that motor vehicles and other mobile sources accounted for about 90% of the cancer risk from toxic air pollution, most of which is from diesel soot (70% of the cancer risk). Industries and other stationary sources accounted for the remaining 10%. The study showed that the highest risk is in urban areas where there is heavy traffic and high concentrations of population and industry. South Coast Air Quality Management District. Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study-I/. March 2000. Cancer Risk Higher Near Major Sources of Air Pollution, Including Highways A 1997 English study found a cancer corridor within three miles of highways, airports, power plants, and other major polluters. The study examined children who died of leukemia or other cancers from the years 1953-1980, where they were born and where they died. It found that the greatest danger lies a few hundred yards from the highway or pollution facility and decreases as you get away from the facility. Knox and Gilman (1997). Hazard proximities of childhood cancers in Great Britain from 1953- 1980. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. 51: 151-159. A School's Proximity to Freeways Associated with Asthma Prevalence A study of 1498 children in 13 schools in the Province of South Holland found a positive relationship between school proximity to freeways and asthma occurrence. Truck traffic intensity and the concentration of emissions measured in schools were found to be significantly associated with chronic respiratory symptoms. Speizer, F. E. and B. G. Ferris, Jr. (1973). Exposure to automobile exhaust. I. Prevalence of respiratory symptoms and disease. Archives of Environmental Health. 26(6): 313-8. van Vliet, P., M. Knape, et al. (1997). Motor vehicle exhaust and chronic respiratory symptoms in children living near freeways. Environmental Research.. 74(2): 122-32. Lung Function Reduction Among Children More Likely if Living Near Truck Traffic A European study determined that exposure to traffic-related air pollution, . in particular diesel exhaust particles,' may lead to reduced lung function in children living near major motorways. Brunekreef B; Janssen NA; de Hartog J; Harssema H; Knape M; van Vliet P. (1997). "Air pollution from truck traffic and lung function in children living near motorways. " Epidemiology. 8(3):298-303. Asthma Symptoms Caused by Truck Exhaust A study was conducted in Munster, Germany to determine the relationship between truck traffic and asthma symptoms. In total, 3,703 German students, between the ages of 12-15 years, completed a written and video questionnaire in 1994-1995. Positive associations between both wheezing and allergic rhinitis and truck traffic were found during a 12-month period. Potentially confounding variables, including indicators of socio-economic status, smoking, etc., did not alter the associations substantially. Duhme, H., S. K. Weiland, et al. (1996). The association between self-reported symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis and self-reported traffic density on street of residence in adolescents. Epidemiology7(6): 578-82. Proximity of a Child's Residence to Major Roads Linked to Hospital Admissions for Asthma A study in Birmingham, United Kingdom, determined that living near major roads was associated with the risk of hospital admission for asthma in children younger than 5 yrs of age. The area of residence and traffic flow patterns were compared for children admitted to the hospital for asthma, children admitted for nonrespiratory reasons, and a random sample of children from the community. Children admitted with an asthma diagnosis were significantly more likely to live in an area with high traffic flow (> 24,000 vehicles/24 hrs) located along the nearest segment of main road than were children admitted for nonrespiratory reasons or children form the community. Edwards, J., S. Walters, et al. (1994). Hospital admissions for asthma in preschool children: relationship to major roads in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Archives of Environmental Health. 49(4): 223-7. Exposure to Carcinogenic Benzene Higher for Children Living Near High Traffic Areas German researchers compared forty-eight children who lived in a central urban area with high traffic density with seventy-two children who lived in a small city with low traffic density. They found that the blood levels of benzene in children who lived in the high-traffic-density area were 71 % higher than those of children who lived in the low-traffic-density area. Blood levels of toluene and carboxyhemoglobin (formed after breathing carbon monoxide) were also significantly elevated (56% and 33% higher, respectively) among children regularly exposed to vehicle emissions. Aplastic anemia and leukemia are associated with excessive exposure to benzene.

Rowlands Jr., City Manager Subject: Southwest Planning ArealWest Fairfield District and the Saltworks Project (Main @ Palomar) Dear Mr. Rowlands: As you are aware, for the past several years M & A Gabaee LP., owners of property located in the area defined by your Draft General Plan as the Southwest Planning ArealWest Fairfield District, have had ongoing conversations with various members of City Staff regarding the possibility of bringing a sizable mixed use commercial development into the area. We have also prepared several design schemes that we shared with your staff members. Over the past several months, MG Resolutions (Planning and Redevelopment Consulting Firm) on behalf of M & A Gabaee have been monitoring the progress of your General Plan Update relative to the Southwest Planning area and how those policies might affect future projects in the planning area. As we understand the current direction, the area will change from an industrial land use designation to a mixed use commercial land use designation, which we would support. Of concern to us is the proposed district-wide aggregate FAR of 0.5 which greatly restricts the ultimate development of all properties in the area. Based on our preliminary analysis and most recent design schemes an FAR of 1.0.or greater would better suit the type of development that we envision for the area, intend to develop, and be most beneficial to securing the future economic vitality of the area. As such, M & A Gabaee LP. would like this concern noted as part of the record during the December 8, 2005 public hearing. Also, please note that the Southwest Proposed General Plan Land Uses Map (Draft) shows the same mixed use commercial land use designation for portions of land area that are within the corporate jurisdiction of the City of San Diego. cc: Milan Garrison, MG Resolutions Charles Company 595 E.

Position Paper General Plan Update + Edits December, 2005 Introduction The original General Plan Update was released in December 2004. Because of the many conunents received by the public on this draft, the city, to its credit, decided to revise the document. In September, 2005 the City issued a 107-page document of edits to the General Plan. Crossroads II is generally pleased with the edits made to the plan, and we appreciate the extra time and effort spent by Planning staff, and their diligence in responding to the concerns ofthe conununity. The two issues of greatest concern in the December 2004 draft have been addressed to our satisfaction, but will require on-going monitoring to assure that future studies do not compromise the changes and additions incorporated in the GPU Edits. However, there are two remaining issues that continue to concern us. These remaining issues are described on pages 2 and 3 of this Position Paper, along with our reconunended suggestions to resolve them. Issues Resolved for the Present, but reQuirin2 On-20in2 Monitorin2 Conununitv Character Our major concern with the December 2004 document is that we felt it did not do enough to ensure preservation of the historic character of the oldest part of our city, the original Chula Vista, incorporated in 191 L The plan calls for a 40% increase in dwelling units in this area of the city, northwest Chula Vista. Thus it is critical that the plan strike a balance among preserving the historic character of northwest, while permitting growth. We believe that the combination of o Edits made by Planning staff incorporating new urban design and form policies; o Action by the city council on August ISth to incorporate a new theme in the plan calling for new development to harmonize with the positive elements of existing development; and o City Council's direction to staff to prepare an alternative to the draft preferred plan that would limit the H St. Focus Area Transit Focus Area to mid-rise, have resolved our concerns over protection ofthe character of the conununity within the context of the GPD. We wish to express our gratitude to Planning staff, to the Mayor, and to the members ofthe City Council for listening to the community on this critical issue. I . However, it is important to add that we recognize the potential of both the H St. Corridor Study and the Urban Core Specific Plan to upset the careful balance achieved in the GPu. Therefore, we will be monitoring these studies very closely. Our concerns over protecting our community's heritage and character will be foremost in our minds. Rate of Growth in Western Chula Vista In northwest Chula Vista, the GPU pennits an increase of ahnost 8,000 dwelling units, an increase of 40% over what exists today. In southwest Chula Vista, the GPU pennits an increase of ahnost 4,000 dwelling units, an increase of 20% over existing. As it states in the Growth Management Element of the GPU, The rate of growth influences the quality of life of the community and, when excessive, can create stress on the community cohesiveness. the loss of a sense of place, and a potential degradation of community values caused by rapid increases in population. (page GM-7) We have seen this happen on the east side ofthe city. Over 3,000 new housing units per year were added in the east in years 2001, 2003 and 2004, resulting in stresses related to the physical and psychological difficulties of accommodating so much growth so quickly. If this level of growth occurs on the west side, the disruptiveness, loss of community cohesiveness, and loss sense of place will be much worse than on the east, because development on the west will occur by infill and demolition in and near existing neighborhoods. Therefore, we will be working closely with Planning staff and the Growth Management Oversight Commission to establish procedures to continually monitor both the rate of growth (as measured by number of building permits issued) and the rate at which housing units are demolished, in northwest and southwest Chula Vista, and to include this information in each year's Growth Management report presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. Remainine: Concerns While on the whole we believe the GPU is much improved since December, there are two concerns we continue to have, as outlined below: Extension of La Media Road Across the Otav River Vallev The circulation element of the GPU shows La Media Road extended across the Otay River Valley into the Otay Mesa community of San Diego, offering a parallel (and free) alternative to SR-125. This issue is of utmost importance to Southwestern College, residents of Bonita, and people living in the Otay Ranch, Rancho del Rey and the Sweetwater areas of Chula Vista. A representative ofthe Engineering Department made a presentation to the General Plan Update Steering Committee indicating that this extension was not necessary to serve Chula Vista. Its primary value seems to be to developers who hope to rezone industrially- zoned land in Otay Mesa to residential. 2 The GPU's edited language, shown below, only postpones dealing with this issue. LUT 13.8 Analyze the need for, timing and ultimate construction of the future La Media Road crossing of the Otay Valley as part of/he pending updates of plans within the surrounding area, such as the City of San Diego's Otay Mesa Community Plan Update. Factors to be considered in the analysis include: existing and forecast traffic volumes and LOS on the circulation system and Johnson Canyon Open Space Preserve. We recommend that the City Council allocate sufficient staff resources to work closely with the City of San Diego to resolve this issue in a way that avoids adverse traffic impacts on La Media/Otay Lakes Roads, as well as assures the financial health of the SR-125 toll road. South Third Avenue The GPU identifies a "Town Focus Area" for southwest Chu1a Vista at the intersection of Third Ave. and Oxford St. Policy LUT 38 (renumbered 41 in the Sept. 2005 edits).3 in the GPU states: Prepare a specific plan to guide the future redevelopment of the Oxford Town Focus Area as a mixed use neighborhood integrating multi-family housing with office, retail, service and community civic uses at a pedestrian scale. We fully support the idea of town focus area for southwest, but have concerns over whether Third and Oxford is the right location. A BRT stop is planned one block south, at the intersection of Third and Palomar. Consistent with Transit Oriented Development/Smart Growth principles, perhaps the area around the future transit hub at Third and Palomar should be considered for the town focus area. A third possibility for the southwest town focus area is at Third and Orange, near the Library and MAAC Charter School. In order to consider other potential locations for the southwest Town Focus Area, we recommend conducting a "South Third Avenue Corridor Study", similar to the proposed H St. Corridor Study, after adoption of the GPu. Thus we recommend that Policy LUT 41.3 be revised to read: Subsequent to adoTJtion of the GPu. TJreTJare a sTJecial studv of south Third Avenue between Oxford and OranJ!e to determine the aTJTJroTJriate location for a Town Focus Area for southwest. Once the best Town Focus Area location is determined. prepare a specific plan to guide the future redevelopment oflhe Oxf-erd Town Focus Area as a mixed use neighborhood integrating multi-family housing with office, retail, service and community civic uses at a pedestrian scale. 3 T +e-iV\ 10 ~If?- =~~; "" -- --~ -- ~ CllY OF CHULA VISTA December 13,2005 PLANNING & BUILDING DEPARTMENT Mr. Gary Pryor, Director San Diego County Department of Planning and Land Use 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite B San Diego, CA 92123-1666 Dear Mr Pryor: We have received your letter dated December 7, 2005 concerning the Chula Vista General Plan Update and associated Draft Environmental Impact Report. 1n your letter you raise concerns regarding County staff having sufficient time to review Chula Vista's responses to County comments on the draft EIR, potential development within the Otay landfill buffer area, the inclusion of County lands within the Chula Vista General Plan boundaries, as well as concerns regarding perceived changes to the Resource Management Plan. According to the County's letter of December 7, 2005, the City never sent its response to the County's comment letter concerning the GPU EIR. In accordance with CEQA Section l5088(b) the City provided by mail its written response to the County comments on December 2, 2005. The comments were received by the County of San Diego on December 5, 2005. I have attached a copy of the registered mail receipt for your review. As stated in the response to County comments addressing the GPU EIR, the staff recommended Preferred Plan calls for no residential development within the Otay landfill buffer area. The GPU EIR identified significant un-mitigated impacts associated with the placement of residential development within the landfill buffer. The Preferred Plan calls for industrial type land uses within the buffer area. On December 8, 2005 the Chula Vista Planning Commission voted to recommend adoption of the Preferred Plan by the City Council. Staff s recommendation to the City Council is to adopt the Preferred Plan. The Chula Vista City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of the GPU on December 13, 2005. Regarding the Village 13 area of Otay Ranch, the GPU is simply retaining the General Plan land use designations established for the area as jointly adopted by the City and Board of Supervisors in 1993 in conjunction with the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP actions. The County's letter dated December 7, 2005 raises policy issues that will be forwarded to the City Council for its review, however, the potential future annexation oflands east of Otay Lakes is not an environmental issue and is not addressed in the EIR. [276 Fourth Avenue. MS P-l 01 Chula Vista, CA 91910 ~~ PRIDE AT WORK www.chulavistaca.gov : POlt Consumer Recycled P3per Letter to Gary Pryor December 13, 2005 City Council for its review, however, the potential future annexation oflands east of Otay Lakes is not an environmental issue and is not addressed in the EIR. The City acknowledges that any changes in the RMP preserve conveyance plan may require input from the Otay Ranch Subcommittee; however, the proposed GPU does not propose any changes to the RMP conveyance plan. The Preferred Plan for the GPU proposes only minor adjustments to the RMP preserve boundary, which are necessary to bring the RMP boundary into conformance with our adopted MSCP boundary. As stated in our response to the County's comment letter (dated November 2, 2005), the Otay Ranch RMP specifies that such amendments within the City's jurisdiction would be subject to review and comment by the County of San Diego. Included wIth this letter is Figure 5.3-3 from the GPU EIR which calls out proposed RMP changes. The City of Chula Vista has provided the County of San Diego with the appropriate opportunity to review and comment on the proposed RMP amendment. No other actions are needed ITom the County for the proposed changes to become effective. Although not reqmred by the RMP, the City recommends that the County amend their RMP Preserve map in the future to be consistent with the City's boundary changes.

O'KEEFE ADMINISTRATOR Honorable Mayor Padilla and Members ofthe Chula Vista City Council 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 Re: Chula Vista Council Meeting Re: Consideration of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Chula Vista's General Plan Update and Resolution Recommending City Council Approval Hon. Mayor and Members of the Chula Vista City Council: On December 8, 2005, I appeared at the special meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista to address the Planning Commission's consideration of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Chula Vista General Plan Update, as well as their Consideration of the City's Comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU) and Resolution Recommending City Council approval of the Comprehensive General Plan update (hereinafter General Plan Update). I requested the opportunity to make an organized presentation for up to fifteen (15) minutes on behalf of the landowners who were directly affected by the Proposed General Plan Update Edits Regarding Transit Focus Areas (Staff Report, Attachment I), dated November 29,2005 (The Edits). The Chair denied my request, but advised me that someone had given me three (3) minutes of their time and I was limited to six (6) minutes. 1 After speaking for 6 minutes, person(s) began shouting and heckling in the back of the room. When it did not appear that order or decorum would be restored, I felt the most prudent thing to do was terminate any further remarks even though I had not finished my presentation. So as to avoid any such problem at your hearings, I am submitting this written presentation for consideration. As you know, I represent Espanada C.V., LLC who are amongst the property owners of land between Third and Fourth Avenues on H Street in Chula Vista. These property owners have been actively involved in the General Plan Update process. In July of 2003, a proposal was I I appeared alone at the Planning Commission meeting without any other speakers to address The Edits. J was unfamiliar with any procedure for "transferring" someone's time in order to make a longer presentation. [157472vl/4746.012] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13, 2005 Page 2 submitted by the property owners to build two (2) 15-story condominium buildings on property located between Third and Fourth Avenue on H Street. The Edits before the Planning Commission, and now the City Council, have been designed to remove from this one block of H Street between Third and Fourth in Chula Vista, the land use designation in the September 2005 re-released Draft General Plan and those portions of the September 2005 draft General Plan Proposed Edits pertaining to the H Street Corridor District and its Focus Area. These documents, without The Edits, have been generally referred to in your staff report as the Preferred Alternative. The Edits as reflected in the Note to the Staff Report, Attachment I of the Planning Commission materials "[R]eflect direction provided by the City Council on November 1,2005, and use the Proposed General Plan Update (GPU) Edits distributed for public review on September 19, 2005, as a base document." As such, The Edits modify the original language of the Preferred Alternative which remained the Preferred Alternative after the more recent August 18, 2005 joint GPU workshop with the City Council and Planning Commission. The action which I am requesting that the City Council take after hearing public testimony on the General Plan Update is to approve the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista approving the City's Comprehensive General Plan Update Land Use Map And Land Use And Transportation Element provisions for The H Street Corridor District and its Focus Areas without The Edits which change the land use designation in the Preferred Plan for the one block between Third and Fourth Avenue on H Street. Recent Developments As the City Attorney and City Manager have been advised, Espanada C.V., LLC no longer intends to build the Espanada project as initially proposed. In this sense, "Espanada" is no longer before you for consideration. For sometime, it has been apparent that due to rising land and construction costs, it is no longer economically feasible to acquire the last necessary piece of property to build the two (2) proposed buildings. The Edward Arms Apartments lies between the third phase of the Gateway Project and the proposed project site. As such, the land owners now intend to modifY their application to build only on the footprint of the property they currently own. City Staff, as well as the President of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce and interested community groups have all been advised that as a condition of approval to construct on this site, the owners will agree to build a building no taller than any existing building currently in Chula Vista. What is currently proposed is a 10-story project which, depending on final design, would be a 120 to 130 feet, making it shorter than the existing Congregational Towers. Since the proposed revised project still exceed 7 stories, it would nonetheless be classified in Chula Vista as a "high-rise" even though it would be shorter than an existing building less than a mile away. The "high-rise" (greater than 7 stories) designation for H Street [157472v1l4746.012J Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members ofthe Chula Vista City Council December 13,2005 Page 3 between Third and Fourth Avenue in the Preferred Plan was most recently endorsed by the Council on August 18, 2005. It was also the original recommendation for the area between Third and Fourth Avenue on H Street when initially considered by the General Plan Update (GPU) Steering Committee after more than two (2) years of community outreach meetings. The GPU Steering Committee changed its recommendation on August 8, 2005. At a meeting on this date, a vote was taken to change the previously approved GPU Steering Committee recommendation. On August 8th, the "President" of Crossroads II, also as member of the GPU Steering Committee, made a PowerPoint presentation. After the presentation, which set forth the position of Crossroads II and The Roosevelt Street Coalition, the President of Crossroads II and member of the Steering Committee made and voted on a motion to change the land use designation. The affected property owners were not given notice that at this meeting there would be another vote which might change the previous recommendation. As such, they did not appear or make their own presentation. On August 18, 2005, by a 3-0 vote, the Council declined to follow the changed recommendation of the GPU Steering Committee. Instead, the Council voted to endorse the Preferred Alternative which permitted a building at the corner of Fourth and H in excess of 7-stories. At this August 18, 2005 workshop, 67 people spoke during the public comments. Forty-four (44) spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan, twenty-two (22) in favor of the height limitation of less than 7-stories. Policy Reasons Supporting the Preferred Plan Without The Edits There are eight (8) policy reasons why the City Council should approve the Preferred Plan without The Edits which was the original GPU Steering Committee recommendation and the direction given after extensive public testimony at the August 18, 2005 workshop. They are as follows: 1. Existing buildings in the core are greater than 7 stories There are two (2) existing buildings in western Chula Vista that are greater than 7-stories. Both have been successful senior housing projects and have co-existed with the established neighborhoods in which are located for over fifteen (15) years. These buildings are the 9-story Frederica Manor which is over 100 ft. The second is the 16- story Congregational Tower which is approximately 158 ft. Congregational Towers is a half a mile away from the corner of Third and H Street. Since the Third and H Street has been designated as a transit focus area, a policy decision to limit building heights to less than an existing building half a mile away would limit existing conditions. Congregational Towers is located within an established residential neighborhood, no different than the neighborhood next to the proposed project which will be shorter than the Congregational Towers. Further, a policy decision which would set a General Plan height limit less than two (2) existing buildings within two (2) miles of Third and H Street could be viewed as down zoning. [1574 72v 1/4746.0 12] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13,2005 Page 4 2. No other Transit Focus Area will benefit Third Avenue The block on H Street between Third and Fourth Avenue is the only transit focus area where you could build view condominiums that would be within walking distance of the business and restaurant district on Third Avenue. All other proposed high-rise locations, Hand E Street near the freeway and the Eastern Urban Center, are too far away from the proposed business and restaurant district on Third A venue to generate any street traffic which would support existing or new restaurants and business on Third Avenue. 3. H Street is in scale with a bigh-rise designation The roadway between Third and Fourth on H Street is an urban designed street which could easily accommodate a greater than 7-story building which would allow housing with views of the bay, ocean and mountains to the east. H Street between Third and Fourth Avenue is 5 lanes with dual turn lanes on Third and Fourth Avenue. Fourth A venue is 4 lanes with single turning lanes at the H. H Street is as wide as Market Street and Fourth Avenue is as wide as Broadway, both streets in downtown San Diego which are successful in moving traffic for numerous buildings significantly in excess of 7- stories. Further, H Street, between Third and Fourth is an urban scale street with existing 5 and 6 story buildings (Gateway I & II) and with the 5-story Scripps Hospital on the northwest corner of Fourth and H Street. A building of greater than 7 -stories would not be out of the scale with either the street or existing buildings. 4. Taller buildings can support underground parking Buildings of greater than 7-stories can economically support underground parking. Underground parking is the key to keeping parked cars off the street and important to the elimination of one of the major frustrations of visiting downtown. However, underground parking is extremely expensive and one of the significant cost factors in urban development projects. Additionally, on H Street, between Third and Fourth Avenue, there exist a 1,300 space garage serving commercial buildings which is virtually empty after 5:00 p.m. which can accommodate overflow parking for a residential building of greater than 7-stories when non-residents are most likely to be visiting the building. 5. More revenue will be produced to meet the needs of the community Buildings greater than 7 -stories produce a proportionally larger tax increment revenue stream which by law must be spent for the benefit of the area where it is generated. The land on H Street between Third and Fourth Avenue is in a [157472v1/4746.012] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13, 2005 Page 5 redevelopment area which is capable of producing a significant source of revenue under redevelopment law. While the tax increment generated by the proposed 10-story project has not been calculated, at 15-stories, the tax revenue generated would be approximately a hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). By law, twenty million ($20,000,000) of that tax increment goes to affordable housing and forty-four million ($44,000,000) to the redevelopment area to be spent of infrastructure, parks and other amenities within the redevelopment area. Since the property between Third and Fourth Avenue on H Street is already in a transit focus area, good public policy would be to enhance the revenue generating potential on such a site by allowing a building in excess of 7-stories. As previously mentioned, at 7-stories and above, the condominium units could be sold at a premium due to the view they provide. Thus, when the property is reassessed for tax purposes, the tax increment on a building higher than 7 -stories is proportionally greater than the same project that does not have this enhanced value. 6. Taller buildings allow for a higher quality of construction As height increases, the marginal and incremental cost of construction goes down. This is because the fixed inrrastructure costs such as land, utilities, underground parking, site improvements and the added costs of fire and safety which kick in at 75 feet can be spread over a greater number of units. As height increases, not only does the marginal and incremental costs of construction go down, the price which can be obtained for the condominium units go up as the view gets better. These factors make buildings in excess of 7-stories more economically viable, both for investors and lending institutions seeking to minimize risk. This allows for a higher quality product and added architectural features and amenities. 7. Downtown Chula Vista needs a catalyst for change A project in excess of 7 -stories can be catalyst for change. One of the most significant factors in the changes over the last 10 years on the west side of Chula Vista has been an out migration of people seeking to purchase new and better housing. As new and nicer homes have been built in eastern Chula Vista, and as the homes in western Chula Vista have become older and less adaptive to modem interior design, those seeking to buy these modem homes have moved east. Not surprisingly, the types of restaurants and businesses that were once successful on Third Avenue in downtown has followed the out migration to the new and bigger homes of eastern Chula Vista. While restaurant and retail options have become better in Eastlake and Otay Ranch, they have gotten worse in older, western Chula Vista. The reason for this is demographics. [1574 72v 1/4746.012] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13,2005 Page 6 The median household income in the downtown core adjusted for inflation is $34,000. This is almost $18,000 less than the median household income citywide and $54,000 less than the areas of Eastlake and Rolling Hills Ranch even though the same areas have almost identical numbers of people. Just over 17% of the people living in the urban core make less than $30,000. This compares with 8.7% citywide. Only 1.5% of the households in Eastlake, Rolling Hills Ranch make less than $30,000 a year. Citizen initiated police calls for service in the downtown core is almost doubled the number of that in Eastlake and Rolling Hills Ranch (5,890 versus 2,984). Citizen initiated calls for vandalism, petty theft and drunk in public, based on 2004 statistics are twice as high. The median age of the population in Chula Vista's downtown core is 32.5 years old. 62% of the population is under 40, while only 13% is over 65. Citywide, the Hispanic population is 49% and in the downtown core it is 55%. F or the actual residents of the downtown core whose income lags behind those in other parts of the city, most of whom are young and ethnically diverse, issues such as substandard housing, lack of a convenient grocery store and low end retail business in their community may in fact be more important than the "visual impact" of higher buildings and urban levels of traffic. In light of these demographic trends what will induce people to come back down and live in and around Third Avenue? If the old downtown and center of Chula Vista is going to change, it is going to need a catalyst for change. What brought people back to downtown San Diego and eventually drove out the adult bookstores and tattoo parlors was a new demographic of people wanting to live downtown. This was initially generated by those people looking for a high quality housing option with views of the water and the city. That is all downtown San Diego had to offer until the demographics shifted and business and restaurants decided that there were enough people living in the area who could support their business. A building that can fit the profile of what was successful in San Diego, but remain within the scale of existing buildings in Chula Vista, can be the catalyst for the change which would make living in downtown Chula Vista attractive to new residents. 8. Equity . In July of2003, the landowners of the property between Third and Fourth Avenue filed its application to build the initially proposed project. Over the ensuing years, and while the Planning Department has been working on Chula Vista's General Plan, the project applicant has incurred and the City of Chula Vista has accepted over $382,000 in fees associated with processing costs. This would not have occurred without the active support and encouragement of city officials. In order to demonstrate there was in fact a [1574 72v 1/4746.012] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13, 2005 Page 7 market for new, quality downtown housing in Chula Vista, Espanada went through the Department of Real Estate Rules and Regulations to accept deposits to demonstrate to lending institutions an existing demand and ability to finance this type of housing product. As of October 2005, Espanada held over 200 deposits of $5,000 each. They had over a thousand people on their interest list. The original application submitted for the site on H Street and Fourth Avenue was for a 12-story building plus town homes and retail. As the project designed evolved, city officials encouraged increased building height first up to IS-stories, and then to 19- stories in order to support the costs of additional public amenities such as offsite design and circulation changes to take traffic off of Roosevelt Street, the widening of Roosevelt Street, a linear park on the project site, and a landscape median on H Street. In order to meet these requests by the city for increased public amenities, the project applicants revised the traffic report for the project EIR. The capital spent to date by the project applicants, include the costs to purchase land, five million six hundred thousand five hundred forty-six dollars ($5,600,546.00), architectural/design consultant fees and costs of one million six hundred thirty seven thousand three hundred twenty-seven dollars ($1,637,327.00), entitlement processing fees of three hundred eighty-one thousand eight hundred seventy-two dollars ($381,872.00), and marketing and miscellaneous fees of two hundred eighty thousand nine hundred fifty-seven dollars ($280,957.00). The total capital outlay to date is seven million nine hundred thousand seven hundred twenty dollars ($7,900,720.00). In addition, reducing the building to 7 stories will have a substantial lost opportunity costs which likely well exceed the capital outlay to date. On several occasions, the project applicant delayed bringing forth the project at the request of city officials. The first request occurred in NovemberlDecember of 2004 when city staff stated the new councilmember wanted the General Plan process to precede the project application. The second occurred with city staff indicated that it was necessary to recirculate the Environmental Impact Report before the General Plan could be approved. At no time during these delays and requests for the project to be put on hold did the city indicate that the General Plan would limit height at the project site to 7-stories or less. As recently as August 18, 2005, there was a City Council and Planning Commission workshop after which both staff and the Councilmembers enthusiastically supported the project applicant and their efforts to demonstrate through community participation and speakers at the August 18th workshop that there was indeed broad community support for a project like the one being proposed. As previously mentioned, at this hearing, 67 people presented public testimony. 45 spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan. Only 22 spoke in favor of the limitation proposed by the GPU Steering Committee in their revised recommendation (The Edits). [1574 72v 114 746.012] Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13,2005 Page 8 It was not until October 4, 2005 that the project applicant became aware of a change of events and circumstances following the August 18th meeting. From published accounts in the newspaper, materials published on the Crossroads II website and city records, there was, after August 18th, at least two (2) meetings between the Mayor and the head of the Roosevelt Street Coalition. While notes of these meetings are not now available, there was an exchange ofletters as a result of the meeting(s). On October 18, 2005, the head of the Roosevelt Street Coalition wrote "to confirm the understandings we have regarding these issues ...". While the nature and extent of the understandings are not now available, these understandings appear from the context of the letter to have been as a result of the Mayor's meeting with Jim Pieri on October 4th. While Mr. Pieri withdrew the letter he was presented with on October 4th because he in fact did not write the letter or agree to limit the building height on the site, the letter written on October 18th stated, "we are also encourage to see that the developer of the Espanada proj ect has withdrawn his application." While all the facts and circumstances of what occurred after August 18th are not now available, there were apparently meetings, discussions, and understandings that did not occur within the purview of the public at an open meeting. As such, these considerations support approval of the Preferred Plan without The Edits. Conclusion Strong public policy and equitable considerations support adoption of the Preferred General Plan as proposed by the City Staff with the one exception that The Edits designed to change the land use designation at one block in the city be eliminated ITom staff recommendation. There are already two (2) existing buildings, one within a half mile of the existing project site which is greater than 7-stories. H Street between Third and Fourth Avenue is not only a transit focus area, but also an urban scale street fully capable of handling traffic generated by building in excess of 7-stories. Since the property between Third and Fourth Avenue on H Street is in a redevelopment area, it provides not only the sole opportunity to provide view condominiums within walking distance of the Third Avenue business and restaurant district, but it is also the type of product that can generate a proportionally higher tax increment revenue for the benefit of affordable housing, infrastructure, parks and other improvements for those people living in the redevelopment area. The under utilization of this site not only limits the revenue which could benefit the surrounding community, it dictates a far different and less attractive product type since the incremental and marginal costs of construction can not be spread over units which can be sold at a higher price due to the views and amenities that can be supported as vertical height increases. [157472v1l4746.012] . Hon. Mayor Padilla and Members of the Chula Vista City Council December 13, 2005 Page 9 Downtown Third Avenue is in need of a catalyst for change. Out migration and changing demographics have perpetuated a cycle of business and restaurants opening and closing on Third Avenue. On August 18th, the thousand member Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Business Association, Union members and regular folk spoke and supported the Council's endorsement of the Preferred Plan without a 7-story limitation. The direction given by 3-0 vote of the Council on August 18th was the right direction. The Council should not reverse course. It should stay the course. It is in the long term benefit of all the residents of Chula Vista who will benefit and enjoy a revitalized and dynamic downtown to embrace change - not run from it. o ULLI AN WERTZ McDADE & WALLACE A ProD ssional Corporation Enclosures cc: Jim Pieri [157472v1/4746.012] . , OOORI'\"''' T. ~!lTZ!"

Under the California Public Records Act, all public records are subject to disclosure unless the legislature has expressly provided to the contrary. (Teamsters Local 586 v. Priceless. LLC (2003) 112 Cal.App.4th 1500, 1510.) The CPRA embodies a strong policy in favor of disclosure of public records, and any refusal to disclose public information must be based on a specific exception to that policy. California State University v. Superior Court (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 810, 823.) "hnplicit in the democratic process is the notion that government should be accountable for its actions. In order to verify accountability, individuals must have access to government files. Such access permits checks against the arbitrary exercise of official power and secrecy in the political process." (Id. at 823.) First, the response is inadequate because the City does not specify the documents that are responsive to each request. The City is required to assist members of the public who make records requests. (Gov. Code !i 6253.1.) Please specify which documents are responsive to each request. To facilitate the City in doing so, I have enclosed a copy of the documents the City provided, and I have affixed a bates stamp to each document. Please identify by bates stamp number the document or documents that are responsive to each request. In addition, the City has failed to provide a proper response to the individual requests for the reasons set forth below.

Gov't Code sections 6254 (k), 6276.04; see also Roberts v. City of Palmdale, 5 Cal.4th 363, 370 1993) ("By its reference to the privileges contained in the Evidence Code, therefore, the Public Records Act has made the attorney-client privilege applicable to public records.") Whv the Resoonse is inadequate. The City has denied this request. Therefore, for each document not being produced, the City must set forth the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial. (Gov. Code ~ 6253(d).) The City's basis for denial seems suspect. At the very least, the City should identify the documents it is withholding in a privilege log, setting forth the author, date, recipient(s), type of document, subject matter of document, and specific reason for failing to provide the document. The City, pursuant to Government Code section 6253.I(a), has an affirmative duty to assist the members of the public identify the records requested, to describe the information technology and physical location in which the records exist, and to provide suggestions for overcoming any practical basis for denying access to the records or information sought. The City's response is also puzzling, because it implies that an attorney drafted or was actively involved in the drafting of the October 4, 2005 letter that Mr. Pieri was pressured to sign that day. As you know and as the City knew, Mr. Pieri and his company were represented on October 4, 2005 by John S. Moot, Esq. California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 2-100 precludes a member from communicating directly or indirectly with someone they know who is represented by an attorney without consent of the represented party's attorney. The rule is intended to control communications between a member and the person that the member knows to be represented by counsel. Rule 1-120 prohibits a member from knowingly assisting, soliciting, or inducing any violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Please provide a proper response to this request by identifying the author of the letter. (See Gov. Code ~ 6253. I (a)(3).)

All WRITINGS constituting, evidencing or referring to who set up the October 3, 2005 meeting between the Mayor and Earl Jentz, at whose direction this meeting occurred, and who from the City called Earl Jentz on October 4, 2005 to tell Jentz that the Mayor was going to make a major announcement at the City Council meeting that night. City's Response. The City does not possess any documents responsive to this request. Whv this Response is inadequate. It is difficult to understand how there are no documents evidencing the meeting between the Mayor and Earl Jentz. Please recall that the City, pursuant to Government Code section 6253.1(a), has an affirmative duty to assist the member of the public identify the records requested, to describe the information technology and physical location in which the records exist, and to provide suggestions for overcoming any practical basis for denying access to the records or information sought. Keeping this section and the purpose of the CPRA in mind, please provide a full and complete response. 3. Request. All WRITINGS constituting, evidencing or referring to who reviewed and approved Mayor Padilla's October 19,2005 letter to Earl Jentz before the letter was sent out. City's Response. The only documents responsive to this request are exempt from disclosure pursuant to several privileges, including the attorney-client communication privilege and the attorney work product privilege and Evidence Code section 1152. Gov't [sic] Code sections 6254 (k), 6276.04; see also Roberts v. City of Palm dale, 5 Cal.4th at 370. The request also calls for documents which are exempt from disclosure because of the deliberative process privilege. Gov't Code 99 6254(k), 6255(a). Whv the Response is inadequate. The City has denied this request. Therefore, for each document withheld, the City must set forth the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial. (Gov. Code 96253(d).) The City, pursuant to Government Code section 6253.l(a), has an affirmative duty to assist the member of the public identify the records requested, to describe the information technology and physical location in which the records exist, and to provide suggestions for overcoming any practical basis for denying access to the records or information sought.

All WRITINGS constituting, evidencing or referring to any poll that Earl Jentz shared with or showed to Mayor Padilla during the course of the October 3,2005 meeting between the Mayor and Mr. Earl Jentz or at any other time. City's Response. The City does not possess any documents responsive to this request. Whv this Response is inadequate. On October 3, 2005, Jentz showed the Mayor a poll. That poll has not been made public. Please produce that poll. If the poll is not made available to the public, it constitutes a gift, the amount of which may be in violation of campaign contribution limits. (See In Re Keller, California Fair Political Practices Commission, File No. I-92-305FPPC case, June 29, 1992, 1992 WL 799455 ["if an organization makes the results of a surveyor an opinion poll available to you, the value of the poll would be a non-monetary campaign contribution"].) 5.

City's Response. This request is overbroad and, therefore, does not make a focused and specific request for "identifiable" public records. Gov't Code section 6253(b). Notwithstanding these objections, the City will provide all responsive documents in its possession. Whv the Response is inadequate. Please specify why the City believes the objection is overbroad, in order to deterrnine whether the City has complied with the request. Please identify by bates number the documents the City produced in response to this request. CV000398 S E L T Z E RIG ~ ~ LAN 1M c M A H 0 N I Y IT E K City of Chula Vista December 12, 2005 Page 5 6. Request. All WRITINGS constituting or evidencing Mayor Padilla's schedule, planned or actual, for the period June I, 2005 up to and including October 25, 2005. City's Response. This request seeks documents exempt from disclosure pursuant to the deliberative process privilege. The appointment calendar of a legislator reflects the legislative decision- making process and is subject to the exemptions set forth in Government Code sections 6254(k) and Government Code section 6255. See Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court, 53 Cal.3d 1325, 1339-1349 (1991). In this case, the public interest in non-disclosure of the Mayor' appointment calendar for the past year clearly outweighs the interest in disclosure for the same reasons recited by the California Supreme Court in Times Mirror, 53 Cal. 3d at 1345-1346. As noted by the Court in Times-Mirror, "[d]isclosing the identity of persons with whom the Governor has met and consulted is the functional equivalent of revealing the substance or direction of the Governor's judgment and metal processes; such information would indicate which if any individuals he deemed to be of significance with respect to critical issues of the moment. The intrusion into the deliberative process is patent." The same reasoning applies to the present request. Furthermore, requiring the disclosure on the Mayor's calendar for the past year raises security issues, which clearly outweighs any interest in disclosure. Notwithstanding this objection, the City will provide all excerpts from the Mayor's calendar which relate to any meetings with Mr. Earl Jentz, Mr. Gregory Moser or representatives of the Roosevelt Street Coalition. Whv this Response is inadequate. The Times Mirror case is limited in its holding to the Governor of California. In addition, the decision to deny the request was largely based on the voluminous nature of the request, which asked for five years of the Governor's calendar. (53 Cal.3d at 1345 ["the newspaper seeks almost five years of the Governor's calendars and schedules, covering undoubtedly thousands of meetings, conferences and engagements of every conceivable nature. Weare not persuaded that any identifiable public interest supports such a wholesale production of documents."].) Here, we are not asking for thousands of meetings, conferences and engagements; we are only asking for roughly six months. The City has not indicated that responding to the request would be burdensome in any CV000399 SELTZER I Gn,LAN 1M GMAHDN IV ITEK City of Chula Vista December 12, 2005 Page 6 way. Please provide the Mayor's complete schedule for the time frame requested, as the City did for City Manager Dave Rowlands.

Citv's Response. The City does not possess any documents in which the Mayor directed staff to return to Council with an alternative to the Preferred Plan. The City possesses minutes from the City Council meeting of November 1, 2005 in which the City Council directed staff to return with an alternative to the Preferred Plan.

I realize this project has created division in the community. If I decide to re-file an application, I will work with the community and the concerns raised by the citizens of Chula Vista. Using wise planning and design principles ss well ss input &om residents, I am confident that, should I decide to re-file a new application, I can develop a project with broad bssed support .

Your letter is in response to my October 26, 2005 California Public Records Act Request. In your letter, the City refuses to produce several categories of documents based upon the attomey- client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine, the settlement privilege and deliberative process privilege. I disagree with the assertion of these privileges and reserve the right to challenge the assertion of such privileges at any time in the future. We look forward to receiving the documents the City has agreed to produce. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this matter further.

STAFF WRITER CHUU VISTA-Acon1ro- versial high-rise condorniniwn projcct proposcd for H Street and Fourth Avenue has been scrapped. With tl,e project known as EspaIiada out of consideration, Mayor Steve Padilla smd he hopes the city's genera! pian update can proceed. Opposition to Espaiiada was so politically heated, he smd, that it became the mrun focus of the proposed general pian, which will guide dc",elopment for the next 30 years. "When you boil everything down, tl,is was the sticking point," Padilla said after yester- day's City Council meeting. Padilla announced during the meeting that developer Jim Pieri fonnally withdrew his ap- plication to build Espafiada earlier in the day. He read a lelter submitted by Pieri and .--.-----.. praised the deveJoper for his decision. "He realized this wasn't go- ing to get any better,~ Padilla said. The battle over Espafiada began late last year. The $JOO miJIion project called for twin IS-story Juxury condominium towers to be built on the north side of H Street between Fourth and TIUrd avenues. Supportcrs smd the project would serve as a catalyst to the downtown area by attracting shops and restaurants. Oppo- nents said the high-rise towers would not fit the character of the surrounding neighbor- hood and would bring too much traffic to Joca! streets. The 198-foot-tal1 project would have required a zoning change, so Pieli opted last No- vember to wait until after the general plan update was fin- ished to seek approva! for his project One of the most vocal groups to oppose the project was the Roosevelt Street Coali- tion. Funded by property own- er EarJ Jentz, the group held rallies, conducted surveys and paid for advertisements in 10- ca! publications.

Early in the discussions, Padilla smd, the developer offered to with. draw his project . 1n his letter to the mayor, Pieri said, "I realize this project has created division in the community.

"I don't think there is any preclusion from bringing back a different project: Moot said. "The question is what will that project look like." Neighbors and community groups near the Fourth Avenue and H Street site were outraged when they found out about the Espallada project. Some resi. dents in the area feared they would have to move from their homes or apartments in order to make way for the project Others simply didn't like the idea of a high-rise development near the quiet, single famity neighbor. hoods of western Chula Vista. Padilla said continued com- munity opposition to the pro.;ect had hindered the city's efforts to adopt the proposed General Plan Update, the city's guiding docu- ment on land use. He specifically mentioned the campaign led by property owner Earl Jentz and the Roosevelt Street Coalition, a community" group opposed the Espallada - project and founded by Jentz. ]en tz has poured [housands of dolIars into ad campaigns ask. ing Chula Vistans to oppose the project. and notify city officials of their opposition. Padilla said he was not willing to let one project jeopardize the entire General Plan Update process. He called the anti-Es- paftada campaign waged by Jentz and other community groups .destructive and divi- sive." . "It has degenerated into an unproductive and not complete- ly accurate dialogue: Padilla said at the council meeting. Along with height limits, the General Plan Update will con- troJ popuJation densities. traffic patterns, design issues. and con- .trol what kinds of uses are al- lowed in different areas of the city.

VOL.l24 NO, 41 OCTOBER 14, 2005 SINCE 1882 Jentz may take crusade to Chula Vista voters SEEKS LIMITING HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT By Patrick Heald STAfF"""'" Earl]entz. a local property owner who founded the Roo- sevelt Street Coalition to fight the 15-story Espanada project at the comer of Fourth Avenue and H Street in Chula Vista. has now filed a notice of intent to circu- late a petition for the purpose of amending the City's General Plan. The general plan update, which has been a work-in- progress for nearly three years. will guide the city's growth and development for at least the next 25 years. If the measure qualifies for the NovemDei2006ballcit, and If a simple majority of voters ap- prove it, building heights in Chu- la Vista would be limited to sev- en stories or 90 feet, whichever is lower. Exceptions would be the Bayfront Planning area, an area in Otay Ranch designated for high density commercial and residential use, and areas near the E Street and H Street trolley stations. High rise projects in other ar- eas of the city would ha... to be approved by a majority of voters in Chula Vista. Height limits. traffic, design questions, and densities in the city's older urban core ha... been flashpoints of contention be- tween community groups, the city. and at least one developer, Jim Pieri. Pieri is the president and CEO of Mountain West Realty. He proposed the Espanada toWers as a companion project to the Gate. way complex nearing comple- tion on the north side ofH Street between Third Avenue and Fourth A...nue. Last week, after mon ths of criticism by Espanada oppo- nents. ChuIa Vista Mayor Steve Padilla announced at the Chula Vista City Council meeting that Pieri had informed the city in a lettet that he was withdrawing from the project. Jentz said he filed the intent to petition document because the cancellation of one controversial project won't have a permanent effect on the city's planning pol- icy. "Part of it is that Espanada is just a project." Jentz said. "Elimi- nating it does not change the general plan update. "Don't get me wrong, we are delighted that they did what they did: Jentz added. The original project proposed by Pieri was designed as two 15- story towers with commercial space on the lower floors and condominiums on higher floors. Jentz said he filed the petition because he's not convinced the city will stand firm on height limits of seven stories in Chula Vista. .We have a concern that the general plan update will get changed: Jentz said. Jentz appears to be targeting an area known as the H Street corridor with the initiative. The area, which runs from Broadway to Fourth A...nue. includes the Chula Vista Center shopping mall. and the Chula Vista Scripps Mercy hospital. The H Street corridor has beeD set aside by city officials as a "spe- cialstudy area", leaving open the possibility for high-rise de...lop- ment. City officials have said they believe the corridor may be suitable for some high-rise proj- ects. and hospital officials ha... said they would like to expIere the possibility of high-rise sen- ior housing on their site. "I think all those areas are on the table." Jentz said. Roo.....lt Street Coalition of- ficials say they ha...n't begun the signature gathering process yet and don't know when that process will start. "That hasn't been determined yet: Bob Castaneda said. Cas. taneda is a marketing consultant for the Roosevelt Street Coali- tion. He said the ballot measure may not be needed if the city agrees to the guidelines set forth in the petition notice. "The initiative doesn't have any practical purpose yet if we can work that out with the city," said Castaneda. But he added the possibility of voters going to the polls to es- sentially ratify the city's land usp and redevelopment plans gives the city what he believes is motivation to continue the bargaining process. "A lock on the door keeps an honest man honest: Castaneda .said. "We don't want to lose any of the leverage we.... gained." But after nearly a year of ...r- bal sparring. in which commu- nity groups charged city offi- cials with glossing over con- cerns about high-rise develop- ment. traffic. and population density in the city's older areas, Castaneda said he feels progress is now being made. -r want to underscore the posi- tive working relationship we ha... with the mayor's office at this point," Castaneda said As soon as the ballot language is approved, Jentz and his back- ers will h....l80 days to collect 9.620 valid signatures to place the initiati... on the June ballot, according to Chula Vista City Cletk Susan Bigalow. That number represents 10 percent of the 96.201 voters reg- istered in Chula Vista at the time of the 2004 general elec- tion. Bigalow said if Jentz and his backers collect signatures from 15 percent, or 14.431 registered voters, he could then ask for a special election. Bigalow said a special election would cost the city about $350,000. Castaneda said that won't hap- pen, and if the initiative does make it to the ballot, it will be fJIIrt..f next year', regularly scheduled elections in either June or November. Bigalow said she expects more than the minimum number of signatures to be submitted. "Most signature gatherers col. lect more than the minimum amount to make sure they have enough." Bigalow said. "We'll send it (the petition) to the reg- istrar of voters to validate.' She said all the required sig- natures would have to be sub- mitted at the same time. Officials at the Chula Vista City Cletk's office said the last initiative to make the ballot in Chula Vista was in 1988. It called for controlling growth. and placed limits on where fu- ture growth could occur. The measure passed with a 58 per- cent approval from voters.

CHUIA VIsrA- The ongo- ing battle over a'proposed high- rise condominium project has prompted the City Council to single out that issue for special consideration when it adoptS . the citywide general plan, ex- pected next month. . The general plan is a doCu- ment that will direct the city's development throughout the next 30 years; Under the cur- rent version of the proposed plan, high-rises could be bunt in the area .of 1bird and H streets, which includes the site of the prop<?sed Espaiiada pr0- ject - tw~ 1!>-story condomini- um towers. On Tu sday, the City Coun- en voted to include a special clause in e general plan pr0- posal that asks the five counen members to choose between mid-rise' d high-rise zoning at 1bird and H streets. Councilwoman Patty Davis was absent, and Councnman Steve Castaneda recused him- self from Tuesday's vote, say- ing he is awaiting a decision from the California Fair Politi- cal Practices Commission on whether he has a conflict of interest Castaneda's brother, Bob Castaneda, is a consultant for the Rooseveh Street Coali- tion, a group that has led the fight against Espaiiada. A vote in favor of mid-rise zoning would effectively kill de- veloper Jim Pieri's plan to bund his Espaiiada project, a $100 ronnon high-rise complex that would be on H Street between 1bird and Fourth streets. He has been planning and advertis- ing the project for two years. Tuesday's council vote doesn't affect other aspects of the proposed general plan, which would allow high-rise construction near the bay fr.ont and near the H Street and E Street trolley stations. This week's action postpones a decision on a contentious is- sue. For months; Mayor Steve Padilla and others supported high'rise zol)ing for the 1bird and H site, saying it would hejp invigorate the city's west side. Others, such as the Roose- velt Street Coalition and Cross- roads II community groups, disagreed. They argued that high-rise construction would adirtoo much traffic and Unaer- . mine the character of the com- munity, and they focused. sPe- cifically on Espaiiada. , On Oct 3, Padilla 'met with Earl Jentz, a property owner who financed the Roosevelt Street Coalition, to discuss high-rise zoning. At the fonow- ing day's City eounen meeting; Padilla announced a change of plans, saying he favored mid- rise construction at the 1bird and H site. "'The city's broader interests had to come first,. Padilla said. "This was becoming a three- ring circus." lmmediate\y before the start of the counen meeting, Padilla met privately with Pieri. During that meeting, Pieri signed a let- ter - which he said he didn't write - stating he would re- tract his bid for Espaiiada. Pieri said he signed the letter with the understanding that Padilla would still support high- rise construction at the site, meaning he could pursue a high-rise project in the future. In the following days, City Manager Dave Rowlands sent Pieri a.letter saying he could retract the letter he signed. Pieri retracted the letter Oct 19, stating his plans to seek city approval for Espaiiada. Pieri has since hired an attor- ney to review the events that led Padilla to drop his support of high-rise construction. Last week, Pieri's attorney, Gregory . Vega, flied, a public records re- quest with the city. The request asks for information related to communication between Jentz and city staff members. Padilla, Pieri and Jentz re- fused to discuss what was said in their closed-door meetings. Calls to Vega were not return- ed. At this week's counen meet- ing, Padilla said that when the general plan vote comes before the counen in December, he plans to support the mid-rise clause. Other counen members ech- oed the need to move forward with the general plan. .' ' "Very, very few decisions a!- low the-opportunity-to make' everyone happy," Councilman John McCann said. "We have to listen to the community as a whole." Many community members, including Jentz, praised Padilla.

VOL. 124 NO. 44 NOVEMBER4, 2005 SINCE 1882 Councilman bows out of GPU, Espafiada council vote By Patrick Heald $TAr"FWRITER Chula Vista City Coun~ cilmember Steve Castaneda re- cused himself Tuesday from a significant vote on the city's proposed General Pia!! Update, saying he ha~ tQ w:a~t for the California Fall' Pohucal Prac- tices Commission to determine if complaints IedgerJ against him are legitimate. The itelTl up for consideration called for directing city staff to provide edits to the propoeed General Plan Update that stip- ulate a maximum of mid-rise development in an area called the Transit Focus Area at Tllird Avenue and H Street in western Chula Vista. i,Iid-rise development is de- fined as either a 7 story or 90 foot maximum height limit. Castaneda appeared some- what tentative as he made the announcement. "I. for the purpoees of this par- ticular item, need to recuse my- self because there have been complaints filed in the past rel- ative to membereof my family's activities in this particular item." Castaneda said from the dais before discussion on the matter began. "We are awaiting a final determination from the state of California, which I am confident will allow me to vote on this issue, but on advice of our in-house city attorney, I will rettise myself at this time." Castaneda confirmed he was referring to complaints filed with the California Fair Politi- cal Practices Commission re- garding his brother Bob Cas- taneda. Officials at the FPPC would not comment. "We can't confirm or deny if we have recei ved any com- plaints or have any open inves- tigations," FPPC spokesperson Jon Matthews said Steve Castaneda said the complaints allege that since he is a member of the Chula Vista City Council, he will vote on es- tablishing redevelopment guidelines, including increasing maximum height limits for buildings, Bob Castaneda is actively working to oppose height limit increases with the Roosevelt Street Coalition, Steve Cas- taneda said the complaints al- lege that the situation is a con- flict of interest for him. Castaneda said he's now con- cerned the ongoing ba ttle over height limits for buildings in western Chula Vista will lead to litigation against the city, and he wants to avoid any prob- lems. "It's very clear to me that there may be litigation, and I don't want my participa tion to be one of the items at issue in any potential court case," Cas- taneda said. . Two weeks ago, an attorney representing the embattled Es- panada high-rise condominium project of Chu1a Vista develop- er Jim Pieri fiIed a public records request asking the city of Chula Vista to hand over doc- uments relating to meetings be- tween members of the Roo- sevelt Street Coalition and city officials, The project is located in the Transit Focus Area, which was the subject of Tuesday's city council vote. The project, which was origi- nally designed for 15 stories, has become a battleground be- ests who advocate higher den- sity development along H Street, and longtime Chula Vista residents who want a low- er-profile style of development, called mid-rise, to be the guid- ing principle for western Chula Vista, Castaneda's recusal, along with the continued absence of Councilmember Patty Davis, left Padilla. along with coun- cilmembersJerry Rindone and John McCann as the only elect- ed officials present to vote on the measure, Castaneda said recusing him- self and waiting until the com- plaints are cleared by the FP!"C is in the best interest of the City, "I've got to be concerned about the public's pocketbook, and if there is litigation we have to put up the best defense," he said.

PAGE 14 CV000457 MErnNGS CONTINUED FROM PAGE I may be migrating south to Chu- laVista. Not surprisingly, the contro- versial Espafiada highrise con- dominium project is at the.cen- lerof maners. Originally designed to be 15 stories t&lll, and located at the corner of Fourth Avenue and H Street, the project has come to symbolize everything that neighborhood preservationists in Chula Vista have been fight- ing against. Local elected officials found themselves in the middle of a no-win situation between one de- veloper who wanted to build the highrise project, and many Chu. la VistaDS who want to preserve the community character of the NEWS The Oct. 4 letter Pieri signed reads. in part "My decision to withdraw the application is based upon my concern for the community and fur the overall wen-being of the city of Chula Vista. If I decide to refile an ap. plication, I will work with the community and the concerns raist'd by the citizens of Chula Vista,n But Pieri did not actually write the letter, according to Chula Vista City attorney Ann Moore. ~The letter was prepared by the City," Moore said. She de- clined to specify who actually authored the Oct. 4 letter. Later, when asked again about the let- ter and its author, she invoked attorney-client privilege. Padilla has also declined to comment on the authorship of the letter. Pieri, through his attorney, former Chula Vista City Coun- cilmanJohn Moot, said he didn't know Padilla would read the let- ter at the City Council meeting, and that he didn't realize the mayor would announce his sup- port for mid-rise height reSIDe- tions at the site. Maximum mid- rise height is defined as seven stories or 90 feet. Pieri then retracted his offer to stop the project, and an- nounced he was guing forward with his original design. The rdusal of city officials to talk about the subject has raised questions both from regional po- litica] experts and Chula Vista {-"Iected officiaJs. Car! Luna is a prok'ssor of p0- litical scienct'at SanUiego Mt.sa College. and a frequent guest commentator on public radio re- garding local politics. He said the city's reluctance to talk about who wrote the letter, and why it was written, raises conCt.ros and Dossible J2:Tounds older, western part of the city, and who fear the Espailada proj- ect will open the floodgates for more highrise projects. The project was apparently dead in the water after Chula Vista Mayor Steve Padilla an. nounced at the Oct. 4 Chula Vista City Council meeting that city officials, including Chula Vista City Manger Dave Row- lands and hadjust that day met informally with]im Pieri. the developer of the project Since no other elected officials were pres- ent, and no agenda was drawn up, the meeting did fall under the guidelines of California open meeting law. After the group met, at the regularly scheduled council meeting, Padilla announced that Pieri had agreed to halt work on the project Padilla produced a letter bear- ing Pieri's signature he said bad been issued by Pieri WHArs A PUBUC MEETING?

The 198-foQt-taU project would have required a zoning . change, so PIeri opted last No- vember to wait until after the general plan update was fin- ished to seek approval for his project. . . One of the most vocal groups to oppose the project was the Roosevelt Street Coalition. Funded by property owner Earl Jentz, the group held rallies, conducted stUVeys and paid for advertisements in local publica- tions. . After Padilla's announce- ment, Jentz said his group wiD continue to monitor the general plan update. But, he said, he was pleased with PIeri's deci- sion to dropEspaftada. "I see it as a step in the right direction: Jentz said. Padilla said he met with Jentz and others on Monday to discuss the project and their concerns.

"It bas become destructive," PadJDa said during the meeting. P3diDa said the RooeeoeJt Street CoaHtion was J)oq.<aocd to fund a baDot Initiative to light the project.

For more information visit our web. site @www.rooseveltstreetcoaUtion.com or call (619) 427.4224. For the record, we agree with the need for redevelopment of downtown Chula Vista. However, like many residents, we are opposed to a high-rise development named EBpaiiada to be located at an already congested intersection of our downtown. · What are the benefits of the Community Character Alternative? The COMMUNITY CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE recommends m;"- TIRe projects for Chula Vista that would lessen density and foster L...:i traffic while preserving Chula Vista's character and heritage as a resi- ~enrrasy8community. If this alternative for mid-rise, not high-rise development is adopted by the city for our General Plan Update it would decrease the negative impacts to our environment caused by smog and congestion. It would also lessen the demand for puhlic infrastructure and its expense, to Chula Vista's tax payers. · Who supports the Community Character Alternative? On Fehruary 7, 2005 the City's Resource Conservation Commission (whose charter is to provide the City of Chula Vista with recommendations on issues regarding the Environmental Impact Report contained in the General Plan Update) unanimously recommended the COMMUNITY CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE over the Preferred Plan pnt forth by the City that would permit high-rise developments like Espaiiada. I What did Chula Vistan's say about High-rise Developments on 4th & H Streets? There was extensive public outreach conducted by the City's consultants for the General Plan Update. Their findings reflect strong public support for Community Character. Also, an indenendent* research company con- ducted a survey of Chula Vista residents across the city on the question of high-rise developments in downtown Chula Vista. When residents were given three options of high-rise (8 stories & up), mid-rise (4 to 7 stories), or low- rise (1 to 3 stories) for downtown, the majority of Chula Vistan's (52%) preferred low-rise development with mid- rise coming in second (23%) and high-rise developments a distant third (12%). Overall, these findings suggest that high-rise development like Espaiiada is not an option that the Chula Vista community would support near the corner of 4th & H Streets.

There is son.c confusion about the Chula Vista ,'ig-ht-Story height solution in the July 14 South County editorial ("Chula Vista sees a way out of its height debate'). Theiirst impression of some readers is that the solution is strictly eight stories, That is incorrect. The revised general plan still permits high rises defined as eight stories or more just like the previous plan. That is the bottom line, The city has added new require- ments with subjective criteria that re- quire high rises to have unique signa- ture architecture and be accompanied by clear public venues or amenities. What does this mean or more impor- tantly who defines what it means? Is this just another way to double talk the public by saying one thing and doing another? Signature architc(1ure is subjective and is in the eye of the beholder, While the editorial writer may feel a project like Espaiiada doesn't qualify, the de- veloper may disagree, The final deci- sion would rest with the mayor and City Council. Imagine a situation arose where a developer helped the majority of the council members get elected and they then voted for a project like Espaiiada, It's true that the voters can vote them out, but what about the pro- jectitself? Once it's built, it's too late. We and our descendants are stuck with it C1ear public venues or amenities are also subjective, and even if they are of value, who reaJly pays for them?The developer could build in amenities and ask for reimbursement by the city. These items and costs are I!egotiated with the city and are subject to manipu- lation. The Gateway developer will re- ceive around $10 million in cash and discounts from the city for that project and reportedly has asked the city for another $20 million for Espaiiada. For the record, the vast majority of people in Chula Vista do not want high. rise buildings, We base this on our own survey, on docwnents from a town hall meeting held by the PIannin& Depart- ment, on a survey by the Environmen- tal Health Coalition for the bayfront and on documents from a public work- shop conducted by the Community Development Department. City pJan.. ners acknowledge the citizens don't want high rises. We have hired snoted urban pJan.. ner, Michael Stepner, who prepared a feasible alternative caRed the Commu- nity Character n A!ternative to the General Plan Update, It does not COli- tain any high rises nearOW' historic downtown but does contain direction on how the city can improve its plan through fonn-based code. Oddly, city p\anIIera have paaaed CDOW' a1t.ema- live. Meanwhile, the revised General Plan Update permittiDg high rises (eight stories or more) movesfDr. ward. The only height limitation is in the Urban Core Specific Plan and for the Espaiiada site it is at 210 feet. Why isn't City HaD listening to the will of the people? Why this transpar- ent argument for signature architec- ture and height for a developer who gets sweetheart deals from the city? Why hold up the General Plan Update for the entire city for one developer? Why not listen to the people and make a simple change in the General Plan Update to read mid-rise (four to seven stories) so everyone, including devel- opers, can move on? EARL]ENTl Roosevelt Street Coalition Steering Committee The Union-Tribune says that voters will have recourse if the mayor and City Council take reckless actions re- sulting in poorly designed high-rise de- velopmentin western Chula VJSIa. The newspaper reminds us that we can elect a new mayor and City Council. But whatconsoJation will that pr0- vide when we are trying to explain to future generations why our beautiful city was ruined by the high-rise E&- panada project? Chula Vista officials gave the same developer who is pitehing Egpailada $10 million in cash and discounts for the Gateway development, and he is believed to have already requested $20 million from the city for Espailada. With this track record, it would be fool- ish to think the same politicians would now stand up as champions for the people of Chula Vista. Chula Vista City HaIl has released the proposed revisions to its controver- sial General Plan Update, and despite highly publicized promises for consen- sus and compromise with residents, city officials have remained arrogant and stubborn. failing to incorporate' any meaningful height limitation to prevent 21()'foot EspaiIada twin sky- scrapers at Fourth andRooseVelf streets. They have refused to adopt proposed planning reforms that would give residents a voice in the future of our city. Worse, the city has soughtto de- ceive residents by including an eight story height limit, but then gutting the limit by incorporating a skyscraper- sized loophole that will eliminate any ID......ingfnl protections for residents. Their eight-story "criteria" for high- rise development amounts to nothing more than smoke and mirrors. N:- cording to the city's new General Plan Update, Mayor Steve PadiDa and Chula Vista council members merely need to make a subjective finding that F"P"fI..j. provides public amenities and "distinctive" design in order to blow off the limit entirely and aDow twin towers - entirely inconsistent with community character- to stand 210feetabovewestChula VISta. Who are they trying to kid? Because they know that Egpailada is going to be tough to sell to residents, Mayor Padilla and the Chula Vista City Council have approved an expenditure of $180,000 of our taxpayer money to "sell" the developer's plan to us.

Full Text (832 words) Copyright SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY May 12, 2005 CHULA VISTA - A city councilman's brother has been hired by a deep-pocketed community group to fight a proposed high-rise condominium project scheduled to go before the City Council for approval. Since early January, Bob Castaneda has been doing marketing and consultant work for the Roosevelt Street Coalition. The group, led by Earl Jentz, has heavily campaigned against the controversial project known as Espanada. Councilman Steve Castaneda said his brother is free to work for anyone and that it won't affect decisions he makes. Steve Castaneda recruited his brother last year for help with his council campaign. "I don't think it really matters to anyone," Steve Castaneda said. "From a legal standing, as well as an ethical standpoint, it doesn't seem like a problem to me." He said he did seek advice from the City Attorney's Office. He did not inform his council colleagues about his brother's job. Other council members said Steve Castaneda doesn't have any control over what his brother does. However, Councilwoman Patty Davis said she would worry about the perception of favoritism, especially considering the amount of controversy surrounding the project. "Many times, people jump from perception to reality," Davis said. "It's better to keep yourself clear." The Espanada project has divided the community since it was on track to be approved late last year. Opposition was so great that city officials opted to wait until after the general plan was updated before considering the project. Under the current general plan, the project -- which calls for two 15-story, 198-foot-high luxury condominium towers on the north side of H Street between Third and Fourth avenues -- would need a zoning change. In the proposed general plan update, which will guide development for the next 30 years, the Espanada site is one of a few areas in the city where high-rise development would be allowed.

The general plan update was scheduled for adoption in March. but city officials wanted more time to sift through public input and amend the environmental impact report. It will be redistributed for a 45-day review period. Mayor Steve Padilla said an updated general plan should be adopted by the end of summer. Espanada developer Jim Pieri said he will wait until after the general plan update to seek City Council approval for his $100 million project. Supporters of the project say it will bring upscale housing to the city's urban neighborhood and serve as a catalyst for redevelopment. Opponents argue that high-rise towers do not fit the city's character. will cause traffic congestion and will destroy the tranquillity of the surrounding neighborhoods. The Roosevelt Street Coalition has been one of the more active organized efforts against the project. Roosevelt Street would absorb much of the residential traffic from the 234-home Espanada complE!x. The group ran its first advertisement in a local paper in December, said Jentz, who owns property on Roosevelt Street. In literature, the group states that it is made up of residents, stakeholders, business people and property owners. Since then, the coalition has purchased several full-page newspaper advertisements against the project, hired lawyers and environmental consultants and written opinion pieces for local publications. Jentz would not provide a cost estimate of the effort or how exactly funds are raised. Jentz hired Bob Castaneda to assist in marketing and media relations. "Bob's background is in public relations and marketing," Jentz said. Bob Castaneda said Jentz asked his brother before approaching him with a job offer. Bob Castaneda is president of Castaneda Communications, which does market research, public relations and government advocacy. Under the contract, Bob Castaneda said, he is paid $90 per hour to help the group refine its message and do public outreach and market research. He said he does not attend any meetings between the group and city officials or council members. He said he sees nothing wrong with his involvement. "I don't do business in Chula Vista," said Castaneda, who lives in Del Cerro. "I don't lobby." Bob Stern, a prominent governmental ethicist who heads the Los Angeles-based Center for Governmental Studies, said that although there is nothing illegal about Councilman Castaneda's brother working for the coalition, it does create a perception problem. Relatives of elected officials often have more access than the average citizen, he said. "Legally, there's nothing wrong," Stern said. "Ethically, it doesn't look good." Councilman John McCann said that a few years ago his wife was offered a job with San Diego Gas & Electric. She opted not to accept it. At the time, McCann said, the city was in contract negotiations with the privately owned utility. "We declined the position because it wouldn't have looked the best," McCann said.

However, McCann said, he wouldn't expect Bob Castaneda to have much influence over his brother's decisions. Padilla voiced a similar sentiment and said he expects his council colleague won't be swayed by his brother's job. "Steve is not his brother, and his brother is not Steve," Padilla said.

COMPLAINT FORM COMPLAiNANTS NAME various NAME OF CITf OFFICIAL(S) NARRATiVE OF COMPLAINT See attachment. CERTIFICATION: \ CONTINUED ON ADOrnONAL SHEETS 0 I declare that the statements made on this form, as weli as any altached slalements of my own, are true and correct to the basI of my know/ed '. "5 made under penalty of perjury, under the laws 'of the Slate of California. / / ___ Signed: Date: (r? "? () Dj l , CV000476 !, hereby declare as follows: ! am a 50 year resident of Chula Vista and a retired Chula Vista police officer. As my letter to you stated, ! was disturbed by the revelations in a May 12, 2005 article in the San Diego Union- Tribune about Councilman Steve Castaneda's brother Bob Castaneda's work against a project on behalf of E.rI Jp.nt7.. Crossroads II and the "Roosevelt Street Coalition" which his brother wil1 be voting on. Councilman Castaneda apparently told the writer that his brother, a marketing consultant that worked on his city council campaign last Fal1, is free to work for anyone and it won't affect the decisions he makes on the council. Well!, for one,don't believe it. I believe that Councilman Castaneda is more involved with this group than just having a brother who works for them. The appearance of a conflict of interest is clear and obvious, as the quote from the government ethicist makes clear. There are many public relations/marketing companies in San Diego. Does anyone truly believe Bob Castaneda would have been hired for the job if he was not Councilman Castaneda's brother? According to the article, Councilman Castaneda was approached by Jentz before his brother was even hired. A little scratching under the surface by the Ethics Committee wi]] demonstrate a true conflict of interest and a resulting ethics violation. Councilman Castaneda should recuse himself from al1 matters his brother is working on. Public records, available to any citizen who knows where to look for them, show some startling facts: Councilman Castaneda owns PRM with his business partner, Richard Babcock. PRM's phone number connects to his brother Bob. According to Councilman Castaneda's filings with the Fair Campaign Practices Commission, between October and December 2004, Bob resided at 32 J Street. This is the address Councilman Castaneda used when he registered to vote. J1n December d004, the Crossroads and Roosevelt Street Coalition's anti-Espanada ads, presumably prepared (!.my Bob, started running in the local papeQ So Bob was working on the campaign while apparently living with the newly elected councilmanlbrother. In one of the ads, again, presumably prepared by Bob Castaneda, a supposedly "independent" pol1 showing public opposition to the project was touted. The ad cited a poll conducted by a company cal1ed "GIS". Reference to the Fictitious Business Name filings kept by the San Diego County Recorder reveals that GIS is owned by Richard Babcock, Councilman Castaneda's business partner. So both his brother and his business partner are making money on something the councilman is suppose to vote on. Councilman Castaneda has another connection to Crossroads. We housed his political campaign o office at 276 Third Avenu~ Councilman Castaneda's FPPC filings do not disclose that any rent was paid or that the rent was a donation. That alone is an ethics violation because either the rent was paid by the campaign or the space was donated. Either way it should have been reported. During the campaign, this property was owned by Henry Barros' company, a well known Chula Vista businessman, owner of Dwight Gove Insurance and, like Ear] Jentz, the owner of many CV000477 properties on the west side. Councilman Castaneda lives in one of them. Is it just a coincidence that Barros also owns the Lion' s Club, where Crossroads and Roosevelt Street had their meeting which was advertised in the paper? When people like Earl Jentz, who owns dozens and dozens of properties on the west side, spend a lot of money to lobby the Council, shouldn't the citizens know how much of this money is going to the cOlIDcilman's brother and business partner? What exactly is the agenda and is the Councilman receiving a direct or indirect financial benefit? I urge the Board of Ethics to investigate this connection fully and keep our town :!Tee of the kind of political corruption we see in o-ther places. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct, except for those matter stated on information and belief and as to those matters I believe them to be true. Executed at Chula Vista on June 30, 2005. CV000478 -- JUN 1 0 2005 June 6, 2005 To: Chula Vista Ethics Commission Last month, I read an article in the San Diego Union Tribune about one of our City Counclmembers Steve Casteneda and how his brother has been hired by a man named Earl Jentz to work for him on a project that the City Council would have to vote on in the future. The article suggested that this type of business relationship is at the very least a one way ticket to poor political perception. First of all, " Is this true"? Secondly, if it is true, isn't this what they call a conflict of interest". As a citizen and resident of Chula Vista for 50 years, I would like the Ethics Commission to make sure that this matter is legal and, of course, ethical. I have always been a hard working person, and I have always tried to do what I thought was right. So, it disturbs me to see that there may be a possible conflict of interest at City Hall, a place that I usually trust. One question: If a Councilman's brother is hired to work for a project, can we realistically expect him to vote against his brother? I suggest that if you take your jobs seriously and want our fellow citizens of Chula Vista to trust City HalI like I used to, then you will look into this matter immediately. If Steve Casteneda and his brother are doing something wrong or illegal, then the citizens of Chula Vista have the right to know about it so that democracy can work its course. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear :trom the Chula Vista Ethics Commission as soon as possible regarding this possible conflict of interest, ethics violations and any illegalities. Hopefully you are already looking into this. CV000479 - .A." ( :~-li':' &TArE Of CAL. "': . COUNTY Of SAN DIEGO . .",.

With your attendance and input at the Community SpoDSOred General PIBJl, Update Meeting you can make a difference.

CV000485 ~ "",..:.:....:: \" · -l ~~ Is there an alternative to the ESPANADA High-Rise Towers on 4th & H Streets? ~~ Community Character Alternative Fu,'Cl\ulo v..,. Call, un.~u~ We believe there is! There is a workable redevelopment alternative to high rises in our downtown called the CO~ CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE. This reasonable approach to redeveloping our down- town calls for mid-rise (not to exceed 7 stories) not high- rise projects (8 stories and up) like Espaiiada. For more information visit our web. site @ www.rooseveltstreetcoalition.com 01' call (619) 427-4224. For the record, we agree with the need for redevelopment of downtown Chula Vista. However, like many residents, we are opposed to a high-rise development named Espaiiada to be located at an already congested intersection of our downtown. · What are the benefits of the Community Character Alternative? The COMMUNITY CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE recommends mid- _ _ ri~e projects for Chula Vista that would lessen density and foster less ---- . traffic while preserving Chula Vista's character and heritage as a resi- ~nti'a,r&e~ommunity. If this alternative for mid-rise, not high.rise development is adopted by the city for our mel'sl Plan Update it would decrease the negative impacts to our environment caused Py smog and congestion. w0uld also lessen the demand for public infrastructure and its-~pense, to Chuls Vista'atax payers. Vho supports the Community Character Alternative? On February 7, 2005 the City's Resource .uservation Commission (whose charter is to provide the City of Chuls Vista with recommendations on issues ~arding the Environmental Impact Report contained in the General Plan Update) unanimously recommended , COMMUNITY CHARACTER ALTERNATIVE over the Preferred Plan put forth by the City thai would rmit high-rise developments like Espaiiada. Vhat did Chula Vistan's say about High-rise ?velopments on 4th & H Streets? le1"e was extensive public outreach conducted by the ty's consultants for the General Plan Update. Their ,dings reflect strong public support for Community laracter. Also, an indeDendent* research company con- cted a survey of Chula Vista residen,ts across the city the question of high.rise developments in downtown lula Vista. When residents were given three options of ;h-rise (8 stories & up), mid-rise (4 to 7 stories), or low- e (I to 3 stories) for downtown, the majority of Chula .tan's (52%) preferred low-rise development with mid- e coming in second (23%) and high-rise developments a :tant third (12%). Overall, these findings suggest that ~h-rise development like Espaiiada is not an option it the Chula Vista community would support near the 'ner of 4th & H Streets. s ad was paid for by the Roosevelt Street Coalition.

Based on the information in the complaint, and additional information which we have been provided by Earl Jentz, we have r evaluated whether the referenced in the complaint relating to Mr. Jentz, would constraint Mr. ~ Castaneda's future ability to participate in decisions in which he, The Roosevelt Street Coalition or Crossroads II has an interest. Based on the complamt, and the information provided to us, we believe that there have been no violations of the City's Code ot"Ethics, nor of the Political Reform Act. In addition, nothing is alleged which would constraint Mr. Castaneda's future participation in planning decisions affecting th~ portions of the city in which Mr. Jentz, Roosevelt Street Coalilion, or Crossroads II has an interest. The claim that Mr. Jentz hired Robert Castaneda while he lived with Steve Castaneda is untrue. He first hired GIS, and speciJically Richard Babcock, to conduct polling in March 2005. Contrary to the allegations of the complaiut, Mr. Jentz had no financial reJationship with Robert Castaneda during the period of October through December 2004. In fact, the advertisements which ran during this period were prepated by the Roosevelt Street Coalition and Crossroads without any professional assistance by Robert Castaneda. Consequently, Steve Castaneda neither received nor provided any compensation, directly or indite,tly, to Mr. Jentz, to the Roosevelr Street Coalition or to Crossroads n. There is also no business relationship between Mr. Jentz, and Steve Castanedn relating to Mr. Barros. The Lion's Club meeting rooms were lIsed by Crossroads and the Roosevelt Street Coalition simply because they were centrally located for the community affected by the issues of concern to those groups.

I understand that the Ethics Commission will be considering the infonnation provided by John Doe at their next meeting scheduled for August 8th at 3:30 p.m. The purpose of this letter is to provide each commissioner with an analysis of how the infonnation provided by John Doe relates to the Chula Vista Code of Ethics as set forth in the Chula Vista Municipal Code. I would appreciate it if you could provide each commissioner with a copy of this letter for due consideration at their upcoming meeting. The Chula Vista Code of Ethics The ChuIa Vista Municipal Code beginning!at Section 2.28.10 I sets forth the municipal ordinance for the establishment of a code of ethics. The Ethics ordinance appears to be organized around three (3) distinct principles. CV000522 r The first is a statement of general principles and standards. The second is a specific codification of unethical condnct. The third sets forth the continuing jurisdiction of the Ethics Commission to act as an advisory body to the City Council on ethics issues. The Municipal Code also grants to the Ethics Commission plenary investigatory powers to carry out its mandate." A. The Guiding Principles for Ethical Conduct c The statement of general principles for ethical conduct is contained within various sections of the Municipal Ordinance. Section 2.28.010 states, "The respected operation of democratic government emphasizes the public officials be independent, iInpartial and responsible to the people", This section goes on to state, "All public officials should conduct themselves in a manner that will tend to preserve the public confidence in, and respect for, the government represented." Section 2.28.025 of the code states, "Public officials are agents of public purpose and hold office for the benefit of the public." This section goes on to state that "They are bound to observe in their official acts a high standard of morality and to discharge faithfully the duties of their office, recognizing the public interest must be a primary concern" In Section 2.28.050, the code points out that one of the highest calling's is that of public service. It then states, "With that service comes a requirement to conduct one's self in a manner above reproach... " The information provided by John Doe clearly falls within the parameters of the general principles the Code of Ethics was designed to address. The'written statement of John Doe, the article written by Amy Oakes of the Union-Tribune and the public record documents forwarded to the Ethics Commission establish on their face that Councilman Castaneda's brother and apparently his business partner are being paid by Earl Jentz/Roosevelt Street Coalition to lobby the Chula Vista City Council with respect to matters pending before the City Council. The two (2) advertisements appearing in the San Diego Union-Tribune referencing both Espanada and a Community Character Alternative to the Chula Vista General Plan make this clear. The Union-Tribune article establishes by admission that the Councilman's brother is being paid "to assist in marketing and media relations." The ads previously referenced also indicate that Jentz/Roosevelt Street Coalition has also retained a research company identified as "GIS Strategy Research". A Fictitious Business Name Statement filed with the County of San Diego indicates that the business GIS Strategy Research is conducted by Richard Babcock and Alma Babcock. A second Fictitious Business Name Statement provided to the Ethics Commission establishes that Richard Babcock and Steve Castaneda operate a General Partnership together CV000523 c called Profile Research and Marketing. Together, this documentation would appear to establish that Jentz/Roosevelt Street Coalition is paying both the Councilman's brother and business partner to lobby the Chula Vista City Council on matters before it. , The general principles set forth in the Code of Ethics emphasize that public officials are to be "independent and impartial" and that they are to conduct themselves in a manner "that will tend to preserve public confidence in" the government. Pursuant to the Code of Ethics, public officials in Chula Vista are "bound to observe in their official acts a high standard of morality" and in the discharge of their duties "to conduct oneself in a manner above reproaci!." John Doe's complaint certainly triggers a deliberative analysis of whether these general principles had been adhered to. B. Unethical Conduct c. Section 2.28.040 of the Municipal Ethics Ordinance provides that "No official subject to this code shall grant or make available to any person any consideration, treatment, advantage or favor beyond that which is the general practice to grant or make available to the public at large." Under Section 2.28.050, entitled "Unethical Conduct", after a statement of general policy the code states, "All citizens conducting business with the city should be treated with courtesy, efficiency and impartiality and none shall receive special advantage beyond that available to any others." The information provided by John Doe and that set forth in the Union- o Tribune article present a reasonable factual basis for the Ethics Commission to exercise its investigatory powers to determine whether prohibited conduct under Section 2.28.040 and 2.28.050(A) and (1) has occurred. Significant in this regard is the statement in the Union-Tribune article which says "Bob Castaneda (the brother, sic) said Jentz asked his brother (Steve Castaneda, sic) before approaching him with a job offer." While the article does not tell us what transpired in that conversation, it is clear that after that conversation, the Councilman's brother was hired to assist Jentz/Roosevelt Street Coalition in marketing and media relations. Earlier the Union-Tribune article states, "the group ran its first advertisements in a local paper in December, said Jentz.. 0" This, according to the article, was then followed by "several full page newspaper advertisements..." some of which had been provided to the Ethics Commission. ( Significant with regard to the above is the Recipient Committee Campaign Statement signed by Councilman Castaneda on January 31, 2005. CV000524 r (' The Union-Tribune article dated May 12, 2005 references the media campaign beginning in December of 2004. The Statement signed by Councilman Castaneda on June 31, 2005 evidences the address of his brother, Robert Castaneda as being 32 J Street, Chula Vista. The voter registration form also provided to the Ethics Commission indicates that in September of 2004, Steve Castaneda registered to vote indicating he also lived at 32 J Street, Chula Vista. In addition to this, Jentz./Roosevelt Street Coalition, at least by April of 2005 (the date of one of the two advertisements), had also hired Councilman's Castaneda's business partner. The prima facia evidence provided by John Doe would indicate that with Councilman Castaneda's knowledge and at least tacit approval, Jentz./Roosevelt Street Coalition has the special advantage not available to the public at large of having their position on matters before the City Council being developed and presented through a media campaign by a Councilmember's brother and business partner, both of whom have inside knowledge either from living with the Councilman or working with him during the relevant time period the media campaign was being waged. Can all citizens conducting business with or lobbying the City Council afford to hire a blood relative and business partner of a Coimcilmember? Would this not be the very type of "special advantage" warranting further investigation? It would seem at a minimum, the Ethics Commission would want to know how much money to date Jentz./Roosevelt Street Coalition has paid the Councilman's brother and business partner and whether the Councilman knew, as was the case with the brother, that Jentz./Roosevelt Street Coalition was also hiring his business partner. Further, the Union-Tribune article states that Councilman Castaneda "did not inform his Council colleagues about his brother's job." Did he likewise'not disclose to his council colleagues the employment of his business partner? It would seem that these and other pertinent questions need to be answered to determine whether there has been adherence to Sections 2.28.040 and 2.28.050(A)(l). It is hard to believe, at this point in time, that the general public would believe that Jentz./Roosevelt Street Coalition has not been granted some "special advantage", treatment or favor not available to them. Additionally, Section 2.28.050(B)(1) provided for a mandatory fmding of unethical conduct where a City official "Used one's person or title for personal gain, but not found to be an act of illegality or conflict of interest by the District Attorney, Grand Jury or the Fair Political Practices Commission." By the use of the word "shall" this specific prohibition requires a mandatory finding of unethical conduct, which differentiated it from the type of violation previously discussed. Again, the facts as known without the benefit of further investigation or inquiry by the Ethics Corrunission are that the Councilman's CV000525 c brother at the inception of the media campaign lived at the same address as the Councilman and was hired by Jentz; after Jentz.discussed the matter with the Councilman. The phone number for the Councilman's business with Richard Babcock, Profile Research and Marketing, based on documents given to the Ethics Commission, also appears to connect to Robert Castaneda. Jentz/Roosevelt Street Coalition has also apparently paid money to the Councilman's business partner, Richard Babcock who on March 1,2005, applied for a fictitious business name statement for GIS Strategy Research. Could Councilman Castaneda be using his position on the City Council to directly or indirectly steer jobs to his brother or business partner, one or both of whom he may have a financial or business relationship with? While it may not be illegal or a violation of the Fair Political Practices Commission to do so, such conduct would, however, be prohibited by ChulaVista's Ethics Ordinance, should it involve "personal gain". Possibly significant in this regard is the fact that the City of Chula Vista's Charter does contain a nepotism clause in Section 510. While the nepotism clause in the City Charter does not appear to be implicated, it does suggest that the City's Constitution does frown on the employment of any person who is a relative by blood or marriage within the third degree of anyone or more members of the City CounciL Precisely because of the real potential for personal gain. c C. Potential The Ethics Commission's Continuing Jurisdiction Over Unethical Conduct ( '. Section 2.28.080 states that one of the purposes of the Board of Ethics is "to advise that City Council of the city of Chula Vista on all matters relating to potential unethical conduct and to make necessary and apptopriate recommendations to the City Council for the implementation of the code of ethics and any amendments thereto, which may become necessary from time to time. This board will serve as a hearing body on all such matters and shall render impartial and objective opinions and ensure that those covered by the Chapter are appropriately informed." (emphasis added). Again, the information and documentation supplied by John Doe trigger action by the Board of Ethics pursuant to their jurisdiction to advise and serve as the hearing body for the city council on all matters relating to "potential unethical conduct." The Ethics Commission has been given specific statutory authority to "holding hearings, swear witness" and "render advisory opinions" as well as to make recommendations based on information provided to it as to amendments to the Ethics Ordinance "which may become necessary from time to time." See, ~ 2.28.100 and 2.28.080. This indeed may be the most important function of the Ethics Commission. No law when written can always anticipate all facts and circumstances which might arise in the future. CV000526 (' It is certainly possible that when the Ethics Ordinance was written, the authors did not anticipate that anyone would consider it appropriate to hire a Councilmember's blood relative and business partner to lobby the City Council on matters which came within the jurisdiction of the Council person, Consistent with this Chula Vista Charter, the Ethics Commission could, after hearing and considering the facts of this case, recommend to the City Council an amendment to the ordinance addressing this issue of nepotism, Conclusion c Councilman Castaneda is quoted in the Union-Tribune article as stating that the hiring of his brother by a person or a group lobbying the City Council is not signific:ant to him, He stated to the lfrlion-Trlbune reporter, "I don't think: it really matters to anyone", from a legal standing, as well as an..ethical standpoint, it doesn't seem like a problem to me", John Doe does think: it is a problem and many Chula Vistans likely agree with him and the general principle as stated in Section 2,28,010 of the Code of Ethics that "The respected operation of democratic government emphasizes that public officials be independent, impartial and responsible to the people," The City of San Diego recently experienced a situation which has left a black mark on that City, a situation which called into question whether certain Councilmembers were carrying out impartially the laws of that municipality, John Doe asked that the Chula Vista Ethics Commission conduct a thorough and complete investigation into the matter so as to avoid a similar fate for our city, '.

The board can dismiss a complaint or, if a majority finds probabl~ cause, it can investigate. The board gives advisory opinions or interpretations and sends its findings to the City Council or appropriate authority. The members are appointed by the council after being recommended by the presiding judge of the South Bay Judicial District. When a complaint is filed against a city official, the City Attorney's Office hires an out- side attorney to advise the board, whicb happened in this case. Upon initial review, the at- torney, Lisa Foster, said it didn't appear that Castaneda had done anything to violate the code. "There's a potential in the future that something might happen," she told the board. "But nothing has happened." No votes regarding EspaDa- da have come before the council since Castaneda took office in December. "I have not voted on any Espafiada-related issues," Castaneda said. "I have made no public statements." The proposed Espafiada project features twin l&story luxury condominium towers, 198 feet high. They would be built north of H Street, be- tween 'Third and Fourth ave- nues. The developer nf the pr0- ject, Jim Pieri, has opted to wait until the city completes its general plan update before seeking approval to build. The project has ignited fierce de- bate in the city. Supporters say a project Castaneda named in an ethics complaint By Amy Oakes STAFF WRITER CHUlA VISTA - A com- plaint has been filed against City Councilman Steve Casta- neda, alleging that he has a conflict of interest because of his brother's involvement in a major project aw-diting city ap- proval. The complaint, filed with the city's board of ethics, targets the councilman's brother, Bob Castaneda. Bob Castaneda is a consul- tant for the Roosevelt Street Co- alition, a group fornled to fight the proposed Espafiada high- rise condominium project in downtown Chula Vista. The board received two com- plaints from the same person in June and July and supporting documents prior to its July 28 meeting. The board, on the ad- vice of the city attorney, would not release the name of the person fiJing the complaints. At the July 28 meeting, the board postponed discussion of the complaint to give members time to review the infonnation. A special meeting to review the complaint has been scheduled for 3:30 p.rn.

Joyce absent (on maternity leave) · Rudy Ramirez recused himself from voting on the complaint · Jesse Navarro absent, emailed his resignation as of August 5th · 4 Voting Members: Karen Batcher, Julius Bennett, Felicia Starr, and Juan · Special Council for the board: Lisa Foster BOARD DISCUSSION · Foster presented letters by Slovinksy and Foley · Foley letter: Chair asked on whose behalf the Foley letter came from and nobody knew JUAN · Began discussion. Stated that he did not believe that there was any violation that had been committed at this point, but that there was a potential for a violation to be committed in the future. · Recommended that ethics board should warn council of potential violation of Ethics Code Section 2.28.040. Stated that this was the only section in the code that had a potential for a violation. CHAIR · Agreed with Juan that she did not see any violation of ethics code at this point, and agreed that there was a potential violation of ethics in the future FOSTER · Reminded board that they did have authority to send a recommendation to the Chula Vista City Council regarding a potential violation of the ethics code. CHAIR · Noted that the information received at that point was sketchy at best. · Reiterated that there was currently no violation of the ethics code and that if anything, there could be a potential violation. Noted that it would be good to see whether S. Castaneda's business or business partner received any $ of work done with the Roosevelt Street Coalition. JUAN · Repeated that there was no violation, only a potential for one CHAIR · Noted that if S. Castaneda had received $ from his business for work with the Roosevelt Coalition that that would warrant further investigation FELICIA · Noted that there was a potential violation with brother working for Roosevelt · Noted that it might be wise for S. Castaneda to abstain from voting on Espai'iada project if brother is working for Roosevelt FOSTER CV000534 · Reminded Board that they had to decide whether or not there was probable cause JULIUS . At this point in time, no violation has occurred FELICIA · Did worry that there was a conflict with the Espafiada project PUBLIC COMMENT 1. Jeryl Scott: Said he did not understand where the potential conflict was. Stated that recommending S. Castaneda to recluse himselffrom voting on the project was ridiculous. Asked board to explain to him the conflict of interest. Chair responded that if brother works for Roosevelt, and Roosevelt is against the Espaiiada project, then S. Castaneda could have a conflict for voting on his brother's side. 2. Mark Crasher: Stated that he wrote the complaint and that he believed that it was important to bring this matter to the board's attention 3. Gustava Slovinsky: Asked if the Board had any questions about his letter. Stated that there were 2 areas that the board should investigate- one where there was a current violation and one where there was a potential violation. Stated that the Code of ethics required that all citizens be treated equally and that if both S. Castaneda's brother and business partner were working for an organization opposing a project before the Chula Vista City council, that there was a problem. Stated that there might be a quid pro quo for S. Castaneda's vote and his brother's job. Stated that GIS entered into a contract with Crossroads and with Jentz. Chair asked if S. Castaneda earned any monetary profits form Crossroads. Slovinsky answered that he did not know, but that Board should investigate. He also reminded Board that councilmen can be guilty of bribery without having ever made a vote on a project and that S. Castaneda was misusing his office. Stated that if the Board finds that there is no violation, S. Castaneda could at least recuse himself from voting on any issues re: Espaiiada. This could be somewhat complicated because it is a big project but S. Castaneda should certainly recuse himself from any discussions on the general plans of the project. 4. Patricia Aguilar, President of Crossroads: Stated that she was shocked that Crossroads was involved in this. Stated that there was absolutely no connection between Crossroads and the Roosevelt Street Coalition, either of the Castaneda brothers, and Mr. Jentz. Stated that if that fact was incorrect, many others alleged in the complaint could be untrue as well. Also stated that a conflict of interest should require a financial connection and there was no evidence that S. Castaneda was receiving any monetary gain from his brother working fro Roosevelt. Slovinsky responded to Aguilar that Crossroads held a joint meeting with Roosevelt and other organizations on May 11 th, so there was a connection. Aguilar responded that Crossroads posted as meeting with Roosevelt but that it was not a joint meeting. 5. Benita (sp?) Jimenez: Stated that the only common denominator here was Espafiada 6. Sandy Duncan: Stated that if there are no straight facts that the complaint should be dismissed JUAN · Thanked Mark for bringing the complaint forward but stated (again) that he did not see an actual violation being committed and that if any other evidence is found in the future, that they could do something then. CHAIR · Agreed with Juan. Stated that even if all of the alleged facts were true, that there is no violation at this time. Also agreed that there was a potential for a violation in the future. [152104vl/4746.012J 2 CV000535 , FOSTER · Asked the Board if they found probable cause or not. JUAN / MOTION · Motion that Board finds that based on the infonnation that they have that there is no probable cause that a violation of the ethics code has been committed at this time. · Motion passed unanimously (4 ayes, Rudy abstained) FOSTER · Ethics Board has the pennission to advise City council on potential unethical conduct. CHAIR · Stated that she strongly rejected giving a recommendation that S. Castaneda abstain from voting on the Espaiiada project. Stated that she thought that would be too broad. JUAN · Stated that they should just tell the council that there was a potential conflict of interest and leave it at that. CHAIR · Noted Section 2.28.050 (B) (I) and said that maybe in that section there could be a potential conflict, but maybe not. · Stated that perhaps they should not make an actual recommendation to the Council, but rather send a reminder to S. Castaneda to note Section 2.28.050 JULIUS · Thanked Mark for bringing forward his complaint JUAN · Stated that this would be his last meeting on the Board MEETING ADJOURNED [1521 04v 1/4746.0 12J 3 CV000536 ;:. 0" 'r:I ~ !i~~ ~'i ~ ~ 8iCii~ ];Iadl() ~""io !~;!5 ""'II>!:!. 11>11>- 011> ... ....is:I~ if~:o", rTllI>"..C!i ""--::3 ~~!i II>CiJ'~ i-g ~ 0- 0"'11>'" i~it Q."'5-~ CO "..11>.,- ~ e:~~3 Q);::b-I:b s:I !!"O iW :Sca. ;a.....i !! ~~ ~ S!. ~ 0 11>' 5' '" :0: 0- iD~:::i:o iilC3'~g ~;~~ g '" 0 '" ~~ittJ r;;'!: II> 't:j -:::ilb~ !:g.;:aQ) ~ iii::;~i ~ "CiiQb t~~, :"'t::::J(IS ar~ ~~~ ~ 5'~ c:: ~"" ~",g, ~CiJc5 if} ~ ; :ga '" 0 ();; C!i g '" 0 :0 "0 ., ~it 31;:': i8':x: i~i ~ if ~ ~~~ i'2 0- ., ra' ~ f ~15' ~ :o~~ ;:.: '" CO ~ z o w -< ~ CD fn fn w w 3 3 -.

One of these commissions is the "Board of Ethics." The City of Chula Vista has a Code of Ethics for public officials, and the Chula Vista Board of Ethics receives and initiates complaints of violations of the Code of Ethics. A Chula Vista resident, who is represented by an attorney, submitted a formal complaint to the Board of Ethics alleging that Councilman Castaneda had violated the city's code of ethics. The complaint centered on the fact that the Councilman's brother has apparently done some work for the Roosevelt Street Coalition, which is actively opposing the proposed Espanada project. The complaint requested that Councilman Castaneda recuse himself from voting on the project. After reviewing the merits of the complaint, on Monday, August 8th THE ETHICS BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT, which exonerates Mr. Casteneda. Espanada is a very controversial project consisting of two high-rise "Las Vegas- style" towers a developer wants to build on H St. near Fourth Ave. The project is currently on hold pending completion of the General Plan Update. We don't know how Mr. Castaneda feels about Espanada. As far as we know he has not taken a position on the project one way or another, and we have no idea how he might vote if project comes before the City Council. But we believe in honest public debate over all projects, and we believe in the democratic process. Therefore, attempts that seem designed to muzzle a duly- elected city councilmember disturb us greatly. We hope that the debate over Espanada focuses on the issues and that everyone, whether they oppose or support the project, respects the right and duty of all councilmembers to vote according to their conscience.

INTRODUCTION Proposed Urban Core Specific Plan and General Plan Update Policies These suggested revisions to the Urban Core Specific Plan and the Chula Vista General Plan are respectfully submitted for consideration as an alternative approach to addressing inevitable growth and change in Western Chula Vista. The crafters of this alternative understand and appreciate that Chula Vista is an evolving, growing, and dynamic city, and the intent herein is to place Chula Vista in the most advantageous position to accommodate and encourage investment in both new development along major street corridors and investment in the retention and enhancement of the many sound and attractive residential neighborhoods within and in the vicinity of the Urban Core Specific Plan study area. The intent is to recognize that having settled and solid neighborhoods that are next door to major commercial corridors stabilizes the investment environment for all parties. These goals are meant to create balanced commercial, retail and mixed-use development along major street corridors that is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods by means of appropriate height, density, scale and land use. This reduces conflicts and provides a secure atmosphere for both property owners on major streets who seek to maximize the use of their properties and property owners in nearby neighborhoods who wish to maintain their homes and safeguard their cherished neighborhood balance and ambience. Included in this report are proposed revisions to General Plan Update policies that we believe will reinforce the policy direction of the draft General Plan Update with regard to community character. They are intended, also, to provide additional guidance to the draft Urban Core Specific Plan. A table of recommended heights and Floor Area Ratios for the Urban Core Specific Plan study areas is also included. There are limited opportunities for projects to exceed maximum heights in some areas but only if certain specific findings of significant public benefit can be made. The rationale is to allow some design flexibility and some additional height if there are sufficient public benefits due to concessions granted by the applicant. If properly executed, the result will be stability and assurances for the enchanting residential quarters of the study area and economic vitality and a revenue stream for local businesses that are spawned by additional commercial energy and an influx of new residents. The result will be a revitalization of Western Chula Vista that is of benefit to both its businesses and its residents. The following recommendations have been assembled into two categories: those that apply to General Plan Update Policies (GP) in Chapter III and those that apply to Urban Core Specific Plan (SP) in Chapter IV. In addition, Chapter" defines community character and provides a discussion of how it might be determined. The desired community character is a critical component of any city planning process. The paper outlines a tool to utilize the community visual preference surveys and other efforts undertaken as part of the General Plan Update and the Urban Core Specific Plan.

It requires a careful assessment of each building site in terms of the size and texture of its surroundings, and a vel}l conscious effort to achieve balance and compatibility in the design of the new building. Good scale depends upon a height that is consistent with the total pattem of the land and the skyline, a bulk that is not overwhelming, and an overall appearance that is complemental}l to the building forms and other elements of the city. Scale is relative, therefore, since the height, bulk, and appearance of past developments differ among the districts of the city.>> (San Francisco Urban Design Plan, San Francisco Planning Department, 1971.) City of San Dieoo Prooress Guide and General Plaf.l. 1979. . Community character isn't easy to quantify. It is not necessarily just a function of the size and scale, style and materials of the existing neighborhood. A community's character not only defines the assemblage of bricks and mortar, but also the people who live there. It identifies who they are. There are many examples of neighborhoods that retain lock-step adherence to certain design demands and restrictions and still exhibit vitality and charm. "Community character" in and of itself is not meritorious. Certainly, some communities display distinctive "character" but it may be distinctively poor as a living environment. The goal of urban design should be "elevated' community character - a neighborhood that transcends the median and provides a complete and uplifting encounter for those who live there, work there, or visit. Cues can be taken from Nature. Natural settings typically reveal a wide range of distinctive but complementary plants, often in a range of heights and widths but within a common envelope. Pure, unaltered landscapes frequently sustain a vast variety of life forms by supplying a multiplicity of vegetation, each serving specific and vital roles in the life cycle of the creatures they support. Perhaps most significant, nature will regenerate and become self- perpetuating if left to its own devices. Planners can learn from these observations. Superior community character is achieved when a-neighborhood exhibits a complete living milieu with a complementary range of uses assembled in structures, streets capes and plazas that have the attributes of the product of an evolutionary process with blocks that show evidence of the march of time and trends and with an assortment of buildings that exhibit more harmony than mimicry. Each building should play a slightly modified role on the streetscape but a unified role in the overall function of the neighborhood. As with nature, buildings should adhere to an overall sense of scale and balance, but be allowed to flourish within these contexts as unique expressions of themselves and, in the case of residences and businesses, display the values and personalities of their occupants. It is in this harmony that communities of merit offer a stimulating and elevating visual and sensual experience with the aromas of ethnic fare, the sounds of cultural melodies and the visual delight of an ever-changing streetscape experience. Ideally, community character is recognized not as a set of strict design criteria, but, rather, a more broad and open collection of goals and directives to protect, propel and enhance Page 5 cv 00004 6/2212005 1) Assimilation: The accumulation of general infonmation and infonmation specifically related to the problem (Asking the public what is in their city). 2) General Study: The investigation of the context, its problems and possible solutions (Understanding what is working and what is not working in their city). 3) Development: The development of one or more solutions (Ideas generated, studied and discussed in a public forum with feedback from the public on each intervention's consequence). 4) Communication: The communication to the public of chosen solutions and interventions (Open public debate and decisions made). These steps assist the public in partnering with municipalities to craft codes that shape future city building projects. The process of crafting a code respective of a city's existing context or community character should begin with the design charrette or a series of public workshops. The charrette, explained in the form-based section of this document, is a public workshop process with a series of follow up meetings with staff and stakeholders to build and maintain trust between the public and the city. The public process is imperative in crafting a comprehensive code update so as to reflect an outcome supported by the public and give predictability to developers and decision-makers. Understandably, the public process should be modified to its context. Involving the public early in the public process reflects an understanding that planning principles untested by public participation can be considered coercive and can lack the authority and credibility that comes with public support.

A minimum of 5 percent of the total lease able floor space for the project must be devoted to these amenities. Such amenities may include: A. More than the minimum affordable housing units B. Rental space that is a minimum 25% below market rate for: 1. Business incubators that provide job training 2. Artists in residence, including studio space 3. Public uses such as public schools or libraries 4. Retention of existing desirable on-site local businesses EXEMPTION FINDING 3 The project makes a significant contribution to off-site public space in the Chula Vista Urban Core Specific Plan study area, such as street improvements, public plazas, public park improvements and other improvements that are called for in the Specific Plan. Credit will not be given for obligations that are already required of the project by other programs and district requirements such as any business improvement district fees and/or tax increment financing. Addressing the Street In addition to the above suggestions regarding height and FAR in the Urban Core Specific Plan, the UCSP should address, in greater detail, how buildings and ground level development address the sidewalk and the street. Though the staff-generated draft references setbacks, step backs and coverage - and suggests rather good approaches - the UCSP would benefit for more specificity regarding the interface of the building line and the right-of-way (sidewalk/street). Regulations should address the location of building openings, the number of curb openings, (perhaps suggesting alley access to minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts) and other points of vehicle and pedestrian access. Also, the intensity and location of screening for surface parking lots, access aisles, and service courts should be strengthened to assure that these common, and often necessary, elements are positioned and designed to minimize their negative impacts on the integrity and vitality of the sidewalk exp~rience. The Following Policies should be added to the Specific Plan: SP2 Redevelopment projects within the H Street Focus Area, may only take vehicle access from H Street, or streets that intersect with H Street. Other parallel streets may be considered for restricted emergency vehicle access purposes. Rationale: To protect the quiet security of residential enclaves that are located close to major commercial arterial streets. SP3 Designs shall be employed .on E Street, F Street, H Street, and 4th Avenue to reduce speeds throughout the study area. It is recognized that traffic engineering concerns regarding Levels of Service ("LOS") are valid, but solutions to improve LOS should not be so severe that they Page 19 cv 00012 612212005 V. FORM-BASED CODES A Predictable Way to Building the Parcel, the Block, and the Neighborhood The Form-Based Code is used to regulate the configuration, orientation and function (built form) of new buildings per each neighborhood within a regional structure. Because they are prescriptive, stating what a community wants, rather than proscriptive, what a community doesn't want, Form-Based Codes (FBC) can achieve a more predictable physical result for developers, local residents, and decision-makers. The code defines compatible building types to specific area, and begins the design discussion at the general plan, community plan, and specific plan level. The existing uses that are currently not allowed in zoning, such as adult entertainment, would still restricted in the function aspect of a Form-Based Code. The Community Character issues raised in Section II are addressed by the FBC via a 'context- sensitive' principled urban design approach to city building. The forms prescribed stress compatibility and 'fit' with adjacent structures that promote harmonious transitions between different designated land uses. FBC's applies appropriate building forms to reflect the neighborhood's context in order to avoid abrupt changes in scale and density between residential and non-residential areas. Additionally, the FBC relies on a very public process to give validity to the code and predictability for the code interpreter. A key to the successful implementation of design-based codes is based on the following elements: 1. Clear and Concise 2. Style Neutral 3. Easy to Read Format 4. Streamlined Permitting IUllC-TOUNf 71' lOW HOMES . . %' .~ o. h , ~ Emit 'ORECOURT 9TH STREET. Locking East. from A to D Avenue ZONI!'ID Ultimately, the implementation of design-based codes will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood as some will completely integrate the design process before the zoning ordinance review, while other jurisdictions may opt for a floating parallel code or a 'triggering' mechanism. These nuances show the flexibility of the code as it is not strictly regulated to the General Plan, Community Plan. Zoning Ordinance, or Design Guidelines. The use of form or 'design-based' codes promote a more consistent, sustainable, and compatible development for nearly any type of community. The state of California recently endorsed form-based codes. The following language is from California Government Code Section 65302.4: "The text and diagrams in the land use element that address the location and extent of land uses, and the zoning ordinances that implement these provisions, may also express community intentions regarding urban form and design. These expressions may differentiate neighborhoods, districts, and corridors, provide for a mixture of land uses and housing types within each, and provide specific measures for regulating Page 21 cv 00013 612212005 Development Standards: A matrix of text and diagrams regulating the pUblic realm aspects of private buildings (configuration, orientation, function) affecting street frontages. building functions permitted in each zone. with an emphasis on allowing for mixed-use.

The lists are separated into those pertaining to public areas and to private lots. The planting lists are coordinated toward achieving a coherent landscaping of the urban fabric. The selection and disposition of the planning is intended to support core of downtown and to create an ecosystem compatible with the climate and hydrology of the site. (This section is completed and would only need to be formatted) Streetscape and Urban Standards in Form-Based Codes (Crafting Form for the Thoroughfare. Urban, Architecture, and Landscape Sections) The system of order. through the Form-Based Code. is the implementation of individual architectural projects running parallel with urbanism. To organize these, the following standards are crucial: 1) Building Frontages, 2) Streetscape, and 3) Thoroughfare Standards. These standards contribute to the character or type of streets in a Specific Plan. Importantly. the 'frontage standards' is the One that produces 'street architecture'. Street Architecture depends upon the following in terms of building types relating directly to the determined Street/Thoroughfare Typologies: . A) Function: Residential, Commercial, Utilitarian, Mixed-Use B) Disposition: Where and how buildings sit on its lot C) Configuration: Frontage, massing. roofing. articulation The Form-Based Code assures that all new buildings are harmonious with each other and within the language of the traditional architecture to the Southem California Region. The code further assures that the community adheres to a neighborhood structure having the following characteristics: . A variety of thoroughfares serve the needs of the pedestrian. the bicyclist. and automobile equitably. . Public open spaces in the form of plazas, parks. and playgrounds provide places for informal social activity and recreation. . Building frontages in disciplined alignment to further define public spaces. How to Use the Reaulatina Code Interpretation of the standards in the Regulating Code is the responsibility of Chula Vista Community Development and Planning staff. The Illustrative Concept Map (to be renamed) will serve as a guide for staff with regard to the City's intent for land development in the Page 25 r:::v 00015 6/22/2005 Examples of California Areas Implementing Form-Based Codes Smart Code, Petaluma, California: Recently, the city of Petaluma, Califomia adopted a Form-Based Code for their downtown and entitlement times have been compressed literally more than half of the previous time frame. The following testimony was printed in an article published in the New York Times on October 3, 2004: "A local developer, Basin Street Properties, has set out to change that pattem with a project that is the largest in the city's (Petaluma, California) history. "I've built 22 projects throughout Sonoma and Napa counties, and they've taken up to seven years to get approval," said Basin Street's president. Matt White. 'This project is very large for a town of 56,000, yet it was approved unanimously in six months." . Prior to attempting new projects in downtown Petaluma, Basin Street Properties had mostly been building business'parks in Sonoma County's Telecom Valley. Their first attempt at urban infill (one building) a few years back was an obscenely expensive, time-consuming entitlement process for them, due to community infighting and outdated zoning documents. So much so, that Basin Street ProPerties decided to pullout of the downtown and drop their options on six other blocks of downtown properties. Once it became apparent that the Central Petaluma 'SmartCode' was going to be completed and adopted in only 9 months, and that the political battles over the vision for this project area would be over, Basin Street picked up their options again. The code was adopted in July 2003 and in just over a year Basin Street has four projects currently under construction on those seven square blocks. In our experience, assembling a Form-Based Code is first and foremost an educational and consensus building process as well as land use tool. Because people can understand how the code works and what it will result in, trust is established within a community and developers are once again welcomed to their communities. Prior to availing themselves of this tool, Petaluma had tried unsuccessfully for seven years to code their vision for this core area. Downtown Petalui11a is booming now. ~~....... ' ~~.2'~ Page 27 CV 00016 6/2212005 . Other California jurisdictions thot have implemented a Form-Based Code are the cities of Ventura. Sonoma. Santa Rosa. Azuza. and Hercules. The Public Process The process of crafting a Form-Based Code begins with an intense public workshop process followed by community meetings with staff and stakeholders to building consensus and trust in the new principles. The public process is imperative in crafting this comprehensive code update so as to reflect the place-based opportunities outlined in Chula Vista's General Plan Update and Urban Core Specific Plan. This process can be modified and we can explain these options in greater detail. The public 'Design Charrette' has emerged as an alternative to the project designed behind closed doors at a great expense and then presenting the final product convention. The conventional public process pits public input against the cost incurred by the developer to formulate a plan for public consideration. Charrettes are interactive and open-to-the-public design workshops that provide a framework for creating a shared vision with community involvement. directed by consultants representing all key disciplines. Key benefits of utilizing the Charrette process: Trust - Charrettes promotes trust between citizens and government through meaningful public involvement and education. Vision - Charrettes fosters a shared community vision and turns opposition into support. Feasibility - Charrettes increases the likelihood of getting projects built by gaining broad support from citizens, professionals, and staff. And, it creates a better plan through diverse input and involvement Economy - Charrettes avoids costly rework and utilizes highly productive work sessions. In Conclusion The Form-Based Code is place-based and allow for diversity of building types and forms to reflect a project areas neighborhood character. FBC's influence the resulting built forms derived from Specific Plans and Community Plans at the lot. block. and neighborhood scale. The intention is to 'fit' the proper building type to its context so as to build for compatibility of new development within existing neighborhoods. It is a unique template meant to be calibrated specifically for a city's geographic and climatic conditions and building traditions. The code is flexible in the sense that different streets in one neighborhood can code for compatible buildings correlated to the scale of that block. Chula Vista can use FBC's to regulate developments from Otay's villages to older town neighborhoods. and be assured the pieces created would fit together. A Form-Based Code is grounded in the principles of smart growth and the public process building on the draft GPU and UCSP will create a plan and process where the whole is immeasurably greater than the sum of its parts. CV 00017 Page 29 6/2212005 Design Guidelines - A tool that defines appropriate architectural and urban design responses in specific arem of a city. Design guidelines have been used as the basis for the review of development proposals in historic areas. special districts, and planned unit development. Directional Emphasis - Refers to a predominant emphasis of the building, either horizontal or vertical. Recognizing this aspect of design is especial~ important when designing additions to historic buildings or when planning a new development in a historic district, District - An area that has a distinct character or purpose, such as an area with predominantly historic buildings, arts facilities, ethnic residents, or unique topography. Easement - A less-than-fee interest in real praperty acquired through donation or purchase and carried as a deed restriction or covenant to protect important open spaces, sensitive natural resources, views, building facades, or interiors. . Edges - Delineation of districts or areas which could be physical in nature (e.g. freeways or greenbelts) or psychological (e.g. major streets joining residential and commercial districts). Hard edges create a break between areas. Freeways and busy thoroughfares are generally disruptive hard edges, which create a physical or psychological bamer. Soft edges create a sub~e break or transition between areas or uses and, unlike hard edges, are not particularly difficult to cross. For instance, a plaza, pork or a non-offensive change in land use is considered 0 soft edge. Elevafion - A two-dimensional drawing that illustrates the vertical plane of an object or building. A drawing of a building's fa<;:ade is an elevation. (see architectural drawings) Eminent Domain - The authority of the govemment to acquire private property for public use for which the owner must receive "just compensation." The redevelopment authority is empowered with eminent domain to acquire parcels of land for economic development purpases, infrastructure improvements, and other purposes deemed in the pUblic interest. Extended Use - Any process that increases the useful life of an old building, e.g. odaptive use or continued use. . Foc;:ade - The exterior wall of a building exposed to public view or that wall viewed by persons not within the building. FAR (Floor Area Ratio) - A formula for determining permitted building volume as a multiple of the area of the lot. The FAR is determined by dividing the gross floor area of buildings on a lot by the area of the lot. For example, a FAR of 6 on a 5,000 square foot lot would allow a building with a gross area of 30,000 square feet. Fenestration - Design elerhents of the exterior (architectural) window treatments such as pattem, rhythm and omamentation. Form-Based Code - A new and useful implementation measure, emphasizing building forms over individual land uses, for achieving certain planning goals, such 05 walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use and transit-oriented development. . Grid - A traditional method of land subdivision which results in the creation af square or rectangular blocks and public streets that intersect at right angles. Historic District - A geographical~ definable area with a significant concentration of building, structures, sites, spaces or objects unified by past events, physical development, design, setting, materials, workmanship, sense of cohesiveness or related historical and aesthetic associations. The significance of a district may be recognized through listing in a iocal, state or national landmarks register and may be protected legally through listing in a local, state or national landmarks register and may be protected legal~ through enactment af a local historic district ordinance administered by a historic district board or commission. Historic Structure - For the purposes of the federal preservation tax incentives, any structure subject to depreciation as defined by the Intemal Revenue Code that is listed individually in the National Register of Historic Page 31 CV 00018 6/2212005 Site Plan - A plan prepared to scale, shown accurately and with complete dimensioning, the boundaries of a site and the location of all buildings, structures, uses, and principal site design features proposed for a specific area and parcel of land, Street Furniture - Municipal ecuipment placed along ,treets, including light fixtures, fire hydrants, police and fire call boxes, trash receptacles, signs, benches, newspaper boxes, and Idosks, Streelscape - The distinguishing character of a particular street as created by its width, degree of cUlVoture, paving materials, design of the street fumlture, and forms of ,urrounding buildings, Streetwall - The building frontage and fa<;:ade that defines the pubiic space edge of the sidewalk, streetscape, and street, Townscape - The relationships among buildings, public spaces, and land forms that gives 0 town or oreo a distinct visual character or image, Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) - A compact, pedestrian-oriented development with a mix of uses, walkable, compact, convenient selVices, and well-defined pUblic and private spaces. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) - A system of land development control wherein rights, or development units, are assigned to parcels at land based upon planning studies and density control factors. These rights are separable and may be transferred from properties in "sending" zones to properties in "receiving" zones; thus they are marketable. TDRs have been used to protect agricultural land and historic resources, and permit increased density in target areas. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) - Compact, mixed use development concentrated in an area to support an existing or proposed regional mass transit system. A TOO ordinance or zoning district aims to reduce car trips by facilitating pedestrian and transit access to jobs, housing, and selVices. Transparency - Refers to the interacTIon between obselVer and an activity in an environment. It allows the observer to "read" what is happening inside a structure or in another orea. For example, a commercial building is considered transparent if the pedestrian can view the merchandise or interior activity from the street. Urban Fabric - The physical material of a building, structure or city, connoting an interweaving of component parts. Vernacular - Landscape, settlement pattems, and building types which result from local or regional building traditions and conventions. View Corridor and View Shed - Refers to the line or range of vision from an observation point to a viewpoint. often used in determining the extent of scenic easements.

Our review focuses on compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended through January 1,2004 and the State CEQA Guideiines as amended through September 7,2004. . Our review comr:nents are Included on the following pages, Our primary review points are listed under "Overview Comments' followed by specific comments by EIR chapter and topical section. In addition, we have attached 3"-party review comments by Urban Crossroads, the technical consultant retained to review the Draft EIR Traffic Study. Our comments support the conclusion that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, the Draft EIR is inadequate, needs to be revised, and requires recirculation. Under Section 15088.5, recirculation is required when: "new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the draft EIR for public review under Section 15087 but before certification." Under this provision, "significant new information" requiring recirculation inciudes, for example, a disclosure that (1) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented, (2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. (3) A feasibie project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project's proponents decline to adopt it. (4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. CV 00020 ---....--. Based Dn Dur review, the Draft EIR includes numerDus, unsubstantiated cDnclusiDns, and project implementation would likely result in signfficant impacts that have not been categorized as significant in the Draft EIR due to inadequate analysis. Moreover, because the alternatives analysis does not define alternatives specifically designed to reduce or eliminate significant impacts associated with the proposed project, it is probable that feasible alternatives exist that could meet this CEQA requirement as well as feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project. Overall, the Draft EIR is inadequate and if not revised, supplemented, and recirculated, meaningful public review of the environmental cDnsequences of the prDpDsed General Plan Update wili have been precluded. The Planning Center is an environmental and planning firm fDunded 30 years ago. We have prepared thDusands Df environmental dDcurnents pursuant to CEQA, including numerous EIRs fDr General Plans. We have successfully cDmpleted certified EIRs that for General Plans for the Cities of Anaheim, Rancho CucamDnga, and Fontana, as well as the CDunty of Riverside, and currently are completing General Plan Update EIRs fDr Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and the City of San BernardinD.

We appreciate this opportunity tD be Df service. If YDU have any questiDns regarding our review Dr specific cDmments, please contact us. Sincerely, ~~~v~~ JDAnn C. Hadfield - Associate Director of Environmental Services CV 00021 ~~ February 14, 2005 Page 1 of 13 OVERVIEW COMMENTS . Despite potentially significant impacts, there is no "Population and Housing" section in the EIR. The EIR fails to provide a Population and Housing analysis to address CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G significance criteria, and there is no indication that an Initial Study has been prepared to address these issues. Pursuant to Appendix G, Environmental Checklist, XII, the EIR should address the following: Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth In an area either directly (for example by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example through extension of roads or other infrastructure) ? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating construction of replacement housing elsewhere? . Given that the EIR discloses that implementation of the General Pian Update would result in a 37% increase in housing units in comparison to existing conditions, and an 18% increase in units in comparison to the adopted Generai Plan (Table 10-2), population and housing impacts clearly represent a potentially significant that requires anaiysis in the EIR. Simiiarly, the re-designation of land use categories, particularly within the Urban Core area, has the potential to displace substantial numbers of existing homes and displace residents, and represents a potentially significant impact that must be addressed in the project's EIR. ~~ . level of significance conclusions for several impacts are not supported by analysis. For example, noise and air quality impact analyses are inadequate to support conclusions in the EIR. The air quality analysis neglects to quantify vehicle exhaust emissions, which is the largest source of emissions in San Diego County, and would expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration. Because the analysis has not been conducted, the air quality section cannot specifically address the threshold of whether the project would 'violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or project air quality violation.' The response does not address vehicle emissions but only qualitatively refers to the potential for increase emissions due to industrial uses. Similarly, the EIR lacks an assessment of the increase in noise or emissions that can be anticipated due to related to increased traffic volumes, particularly In the Urban Core, yet concludes that noise impact will be less than significant. . The document relies on General Plan Update "Objectives" and "Policies" that are not specific or enforceable to mitigate significant impacts. . The EIR repeatedly states that 'compliance' with various General Plan Update objectives and/or policies would ensure that impacts would be less than significant. General Plan Update objectives and policies are not regulatory, are not enforceabie, and typically are not specmc enough to mitigate the potential impacts identified. Typical objective and policy language is to 'encourage" or 'promote" and action. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4, mitigation measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements or other iegally binding instruments. At a CV 00022 February 14, 2005 Page 2 of 13 minimum, the EIR should incorporate mitigation measures with performance standards. Pursuant to CEOA, the performance standards allow flexibility, noting that mitigation can be achieved in more than one specified way. . The EIR fails to provide the rationale for using customized Thresholds of Significance that may lower environmental standards for the City. Although generally applied throughout the document, not all topical sections use the CEOA Guidelines, Appendix G, thresholds of significance. Where these are not used, the rationale for the thresholds applied should be explained and justified. Of particular concern are the significance thresholds used for Transportation. The Level of Service for the Urban Core has been reduced to LOS E (from a previous LOS 0). In accordance with CEOA Guidelines Section 15064.7 b) each public agency is encouraged to develop and publish thresholds of significance that the agency uses in the determination of significance of environmental effects. Under this provision, "threshold of significance to be adopted for general use as part of the lead agency's environrnental review process and must be adopted by ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation, and developed through a public review process and be supported by substantial evidence." To our knowledge, customized thresholds have not been formally adopted and have not been subject to a public review process. Lowering the standard level of service for the Urban Core of the City and thereby concluding that transportation impacts are less than significant, does not comply with CEOA unless this threshold has been adopted by the City. . Inappropriate methodology is used for analysis for some impact categories. ~~ Although we have not conducted a detailed review of all of the technical analysis, numerous questions have been raised with respect to the scope and methodology for analysis as included in the noise, air quality and traffic analyses. Please refer to the specific comments included in the following sections and attached review of the traffic study. . The Project Alternatives do not include discussions required by CEQA, including a disclosure of alternatives that were considered by the lead agency and eliminated for detailed review, and review of the ability of the alternatives to meet the project objectives. CEOA Guidelines Section 15126.6 requires that the "EIR should briefly describe the rationale for selecting the alternatives to be discussed. The EIR should also identify any alternatives that were considered by the lead agency but were rejected as infeasible during the scoping process and briefly explain the reasons underlying the lead agency's determination." The EIR does not include this discussion. Typically, the Alternatives section of an EIR reiterates the Project Objectives and summarizes the significant impacts of the proposed project to provide the context for defining and evaluating alternative (meeting the objectives and avoiding the significant impacts). The EIR concludes that the General Plan Update would result in significant, unavoidable adverse impacts to energy, transportation, air quality, and utilities (water supply). Without additional or more appropriate analysis to substantiate otherwise, the EIR should also categorize Land Use and Noise as significant, unavoidable, adverse impacts of the proposed project. Approvai of the General Plan Update would require City decision-makers to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations concluding that the benefits of the proposed project override all of these of these significant impacts, an unprecedented level in our experience of preparing General Plan EIRs. . Appropriate inclusion of Population and Housing in the EIR, also likely to result in a significant impact, would mean that implementation of the General Plan Update would cv 00023 February 14, 2005 Page 3 of 13 result in significant impacts in 7 out of 16 environmental issues to be addressed in EIRs (pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G Environmental Checklist). . Moreover, none of the three scenarios appear to reduce environmental Impacts and the EIR states that the intensity and density of these scenarios are similar to the preferred land use plan. Based on this level of impacts, a more rigorous review and range of project alternatives is warranted to determine the ability to reduce environmental impacts. Although some of the alternatives acknowledge that significant impacts could be reduced, the only alternative that would reduce a significant project impact to a less than significant level is the Reduced Traffic Impact Aiternative, and this alternative would only eliminate the significant traffic impact. . Without the evaluation of additional project alternatives that meet CEOA requirements, City decision-makers will not have been afforded the opportunity to comply with their mandate to "minimize environmental damage and balance public objectives." Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15021 (a), "A public agency should not approve a project as proposed, if there are feasible alternatives or mitigation measures that would substantially lessen any significant effects of the proposed project." Since the EIR does not provide project alternatives that eliminate any significant impacts of the proposed project, City decision-makers do not have the required information to comply with this CEQA mandate. A revised EIR is required that provides additional alternative that minimize environmental impacts while attaining the basic objectives of the City's General Plan Update. COMMENTS BY EIR SECTION ~~ The following comments are not all-inclusive of the EIR, but instead focus on key impact areas and/or issues we identified in our review of the EIR. Executive Summary . Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1 through 1-3. The juxtaposition of this table and the following figures are extremely confusing. It is very difficult to decipher the location of the 'subareas' without the context of the location of the 'Planning Areas." Figure 2-1 should precede figures 1-1 through 1-3. . Table 1-4, Comparison of Alternatives This Table should expressly state whether a project alternative results in impacts "less than", "greater than" or "similar to" the proposed project (Preferred Land Use Plan). The purpose of alternatives is to develop options than can reduce or eliminate significant impacts in comparison to the proposed project. Neither the Alternatives Chapter nor this summary expressly make the comparisons needed to determine whether the respective alternative is an improvement relative to the proposed project for the subject impact. It would also be helpful if a table presented the relative ability of each alternative to meet the objectives of the proposed project. CV 00024 February 14, 2005 Page 4 of 13 Environmental Impact Analysis Land Use . Noncompliance with CECA Thresholds: Threshold 1: "Physically divide or adversely affect the community character of an established community" is not a threshold of significance taken from Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. If the City has not formally adopted their own CEQA Guidelines, and they choose not to 'follow the state CEQA Guidelines, the justification for the customized threshold should be provided. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.7(b) states thai "thresholds of significance to be adopted for general use as part of the lead agency's environmental review process must be adopted by ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation, and developed through a public review process and be supported by substantial evidence." . Inconsistency in how "Community Character" is defined Within the Land Use section of the EIR, the definition for 'community character' is described as addressing two main points: 1) the degree to which proposed project objectives and policies or land use changes have the potential to divide an established neighborhood or community, and 2) whether the project would introduce changes that substantially change the community character by placing incompatible land uses together. This definition may not fully encompass the intent of the General Plan Update and public outreach theme (page 13) of "strong community character and image". Community character would typically encompass broader concepts. For example, the area defined as the 'Urban Core' may also be seen as the "historic district" or "Old Town." Withou1 an accurate description of community character, it is difficult to accurately assess the land use impact relative to this threshoid. ~~ The land use analysis does not address 'land use compatibility' which is how 'community character' impact has been defined. It refers to numerous policies, but does not address the potential land use-related conflicts of new, intense noise, traffic, and air quality impacts upon existing uses. . Overalllnconsislency in EIR Land Use Analysis On Page 108 of the EIR, the NW Planning Area discussion concludes that "Community character impacts within the Northwest Planning Area represent significant adverse impacts," but the paragraph above is supporting less than significant impacts and the summary table shows Not Significant without mitigation. There is an inconsistent discussion of the three Scenarios and the Preferred Plan. For example, the Preferred Plan analysis of Threshold 1 addresses completely different physical area and issues than Scenario 1 . . Lack of Substantial Evidence per CECA Guidelines 15064(1}: The finding that the increase in density and intensity of uses in the downtown urban core does not divide an established community is not supported by the analysis in the EIR. In fact, the analysis says nothing about the division of an established community, bu1 it concludes no signfficant impact. On page 96 of the EIR, the statement is made that the Northwest Planning Area, of which the Urban Core is a subarea, serves as the historic focus of the city and is the central connecting area between the Bay/ront and newer master planned communities to the east. The General Plan Update, with its intensification in use and increased densities within the Urban Core subarea comes to the CV 00025 February 14, 2005 Page 5 of 13 unsubstantiated cDnclusion that it does not divide an established community. Substantial evidence is not prDvided to support a less than significant impact. The introduction of the threshold "adversely affect the community character of an established community" is not adequately evaluated in this EIR. Community character is a nebulous concept, but it can be extrapolated by looking at average densities per acre. If one reads the EIR correctly, the Urban Core is the traditional heart of the City that is primarily single family residential with some multi-family residential, and important commercial, industrial, and institutional uses such as the Civic Center, Public Ubrary, Scripps Hospital, and new pDlice station. The average residential densities are in the Low to Medium Density range at an average of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. The General Plan Update aims to introduce transit oriented development in the form of high density residential uses and mixed uses with densities ranging from 27 to 60 dwelling units per acre. This change in density changes community character. At an average density of 2.5 persons per unit, population density would range from 67 tD 150 persDns per acre. The lack of a cDmmunity character impact is not supported by substantial evidence in the EIR. . . . General Plan 'objectives' do not mitigate significant impacts Objectives LUT 48, 49, and 50 are proposed to avoid the cDmmunity character impacts to the Third Avenue and H Street Districts. All three objectives contain language that is impossible to enforce as mitigation: Maintain DowntDwn as a fDcal pDint for the City (LUT 48), encourage redevelopment of the Chuia Vista Center (LUT 49) and encourage redevelopment tD be mixed use alDng the H Street CDrridDr (LUT 50). As stated Dn page 15 Df the EIR (Section 3.4.1), 'objectives represent the desired end point, while a policy signifies a !;Jeneral rule Dr course Df actlDn to achieve the objective.' . Mitigation Measures do not minimize significant effects: ~~ . In the Urban Core Subarea, the EIR states that residential densities increase substantially. The level of significance before mitlgatiDn is "significant." MitlgatlDn measures 5.1-1, 5.1-2, and 5.1-3 are proposed tD reduce the impact. However, these measures do not address this impact in the Urban Core, but another area Df the City altDgether. According tD CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4 mitigation must address the impact and must be feasible. Therefore, the level of significance after mitigation is not "less than significant." A significant unavDidable adverse impact remains. Landform Alteration/Aesthetics . Mitigation Measures are unenforceable: . The EIR states that without compliance with Dbjectives LUT 7, 8, 11, 40, and 46, impacts tD scenic vistas within the Urban CDre would be significant. CDmpliance with Objective LUT 8, 9, 38, 39, and 40 and their assDciated policies wouid reduce visual quality impacts. Without cDmpliance to these objectives and policies, the intensity Dt development, including building height, compatibility, and provision of appropriate transitiDns with surrounding areas would be signiticant. To demDnstrate the lack of enfDrceability of these Dbjectives and policies, we have chosen Objective 11, 9 and Policy LUT 46.14 as examples. Objective LUT 11 "Preserve scenic resources in Chula Vista, maintain the city's Dpen space network, and promote beautificatiDn ot the City: What are the measures by which scenic resources will be preserved and beautification promoted? Objective LUT 9 "Ensure that buildings and reiated site improvements tDr public and private development are well-designed and compatible with surrounding properties and districts" is CV 00026 February 14, 2005 Page 6 of 13 also unenforceable because there are no stated measures of compatibility such as similar building height, bulk, and design. LUT 46.14 recognizes that measures are needed but it still fails to provide enforceable mitigation: "Recognize that different portions of the Urban'Core Subarea have a desirable character, and, develop specific plans and programs to strengthen and reinforce their uniqueness. Develop land use, density, special design features, and building guidelines for appropriate Focus Areas." However, there is nothing in these policies that requires the development of guidelines or a timeframe for doing so. Because all of these objectives and policies constftute inadequate and unenforceable mitigation, the EIR errs in stating a less than significant impact for visual resources in the Urban Core. Moreover, no mention is made of the types of visual impacts that could occur from a change in density, height and bulk of buildings (e.g., shade and shadow impacts) and specifically how these impacts would be reduced. Cultural Resources . Impacts to Historical Resources per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5: The EIR states that 61 sites/structures are listed on the City's list of designated historic sites. A number of these structures seem to be grouped in areas. The EIR does not address whether any of these areas would qualify as a historic district. A formal evaluation of the structures must be completed and an evaluation of a potential historic district must be included in that evaluation, otherwise redevelopment within the project area could result in the loss of potentially historic structures that have not been documented. ~~ The EIR states that the City approved the formation of an Ad Hoc Historic Preservation Committee to develop a Historic Preservation Strategic Plan that would coordinate with the General Plan Update. The report was adopted by the City Council in 2003, but the EIR does not summarize its findings and how the General Plan Update mayor may not affect identified cultural resources. With regard to the Urban Core Subarea, the EIR states that "while the historic significance of individual buildings has not been determined, the downtown corridor of Third Avenue between E and G Streets represents a significant community character resource. The effects of the General Plan Update on community character are discussed in the Land Use section of this EIR." First, community character is not synonymous with historical significance as defined by CEQA so this is an inadequate analysis of potential historic impacts in the Urban Core. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 (a)(2) states that "a resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.1 (k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of section 5020.1 (g) of the Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant." Given that the significance of individual buildings has been determined through a local survey, the EIR errs in reaching the opposite conclusion. Lastly, the Land Use analysis is flawed as stated above and does not analyze the potential for historic resources in the Urban Core so referral to the Land Use section does not serve to further the historic resources analysis and is irrelevant. . Mitigation Measures are unenforceable: Objectives LUT 10 and EE 9 are proposed to lessen impacts to cultural resources. However, they are so wide-reaching that their effectiveness at mitigating impacts to cultural resources is questionable CV 00027 February 14, 2005 Page 7 of 13 and difficult to enforce. Objective LUT 10 states "Protect Chula Vista's important historic resources." Objective EE 9 is "Protect Chula Vista's important cultural resources and support and encourage their accessibiiity to the public." Policy LUT 10.6 "Continue to assess and mitigate the potential impacts of private deveiopment and public facilities and infrastructure to historic resources in accordance with the Cal~ornia Environmental Quality Act." These objectives or policies cannot be met without first preparing a formal evaluation of potential historic structures. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(4) states that "A lead agency shall identify potentially feasible measures to mitigate significant adverse changes in the significance of an historical resource. The lead agency shall ensure that any adopted measures to mitigate or avoid significant adverse changes are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures." Mitigation Measures 5.4-1 (3) and (4) are not written in such a way as to be fully enforceable. The type of historic documentation needs to be identified, a deadline for compliance needs to be set, and "completed/implemented to the satisfaction of the appropriate decision maker" is not enforceable. . Transportation . Please refer to attached comments prepared by Urban Crossroads Air Quality . Lack of Substantial Evidence per CEQA Guidelines 15064(f): Page 321, 3" paragraph. The EIR statement "Policies EE 6.1 through EE 6.11 would help to ensure that sensitive receptors in the City of Chula Vista are not exposed to adverse air quality effects." This statement is unsubstantiated, inaccurate and misleading. These measures would not clean up the air and bring San Diego and Chula Vista into a state of attainment of the California or Federal Ambient Air Quality Standards which is the gauge for acceptable levels of air quality. Policies EE 6.1 through EE 6.11 are goals and have very limited effect on air quality in the City with emissions which are primarily generated by vehicle exhaust. These policies would not bring the region into attainment of the ambient air quality standards which are the gauges by which the health of the citizens of the City are assessed. The abovementioned statement misleads the public as to impact that increased air pollutant emissions would have on the people of Chula Vista. ~~ The General Plan update increases the amount of development which substantially increases the amount of pollution in a region that is currently in non-attainment for ambient air quality standards. The policies referenced above do not address the significance threshold "of exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations." . Air Quality analysis does not evaluate or quantify vehicle emissions The analysis does not sufficiently evaluate the threshold of significance related to exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The air quality analysis neglected to demonstrate that vehicle exhaust which is the largest source of emissions in San Diego County would or would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. A screening analysis was performed for CO, which is in a state of attainment, but does not address ozone precursors (NOx), PM10 and PM2.5 which are in a state of non-attainment. These pollutants have severe health effects with diesel exhaust being classified as carcinogenic. The air quality analysis is deficient for not providing a quantitative analysis of these pollutants. The analysis also fails to address a likely increase in heavy diesel truck usage and related health effects of diesel particulates. . Lack of Evaluation of Significance Thresholds cv 00028 February 14, 2005 Page 8 of 13 The air quality analysis does not address all of the thresholds of significance as listed on page 318 of the EIR. It falls to evaluate whether the project would: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantiai/y to an existing or projected air quality violation. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria poi/utant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (Including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors). Not anaiyzlng potential impacts to these thresholds represents a deficiency in tha air quality analysis. Especially considering that the San Diego region is in a state of nonattainment of ozone, PM 10 and PM2.5. Page 327, Section 5.11.6. Level of Significance After Mitigation. This paragraph only discusses emissions from the landfill. No discussion is presented on the other exceedances.ofthe significance thresholds. . Stated air quality benefit of project is unsubstantiated and illogical Page 319, last paragraph. The statement "that the nature of the General Plan Update's land use plan and policy construct could very well represent an Improvement to air quality, in that it stresses walkabie communities and transit oriented/mixed use development". This statement is without basis when no quantification is provided. The current General Plan also states the same goals as the General Plan update so no benefit from these measures should be taken. We also know that the vast majority of Californians are automobile oriented and that walkable communities would have extremely limited effects at reducing vehicle emissions. Any decrease in pedestrian oriented communities or transit use will be overshadowed by the large increase in vehicular traffic that would be generated by the buildout of the General Plan Update. The claim that the General Plan 'Update' could very well represent an improvement to air quality should be substantiated or removed. ~~ . Flawed Methodology Page 319, 2nd to last paragraph. This paragraph states that the General Plan Update is inconsistent with the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS} and hence would represent a significant air quality impact. This discussion needs to evaluate in what way the General Plan update is inconsistent. If the General Plan update produces less emissions than the current Generai Plan, than the General Plan update would not conflict or obstruct implementation of the RAQS. This is the threshold of significance as stated on page 318 of the EIR, which has not been properly evaluated. Page 321, Mobile Sources. The screening method in Caltrans's Transportation Project-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol is no longer recommended by th,e FHWA because it is based on the EMFAC7f model which is outdated. As such, the screening method should not be used. Page 321, Mobile Sources. The screening method in Caitrans's Transportation Project-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol should also not be used based on Table A.1 of the same document. Table A.1 states that the screening procedure should not be used when the percentage of heavy duty gas trucks exceeds 1.2%. Based on the vehicle fleet presented in the EMFAC2002 model for San Diego County, the average percentage of heavy duty gas trucks is 1.8% or 50% higher than the 1.2% maximum in Table A.1 which discourages use of the screening method for conducting a CO analysis. As such, the screening method should not have been used. cv 00029 February 14, 2005 Page 9 of 13 Page 321, Mobile Sources. The screening method in Caltrans's Transportation Project-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol should also not be used based on Table A.1 of the same document. Table A.1 states that the screening procedure should not be used when the traffic volumes are greater than 1,000 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl). Table A2-1 of the DEIR shows traffic volumes of 28,000 to 60,008 vehicles per day along analyzed roadways. Based on 12% of the ADT occurring during the peak traffic hour, some of these lanes would exceed allowable 1,000 vphpl. As such, the screening method should not have been used. Page 2 of Appendix F, 2" to last paragraph. The appendix states "The screening procedure estimates the approach volume in vehicles per hour per lane for each direction of each roadway by dividing average daily traffic volumes by 24 hours and the number of travel lanes." This is an inaccurate statement because the screening procedure does not suggest that the hourly traffic voiume is obtained by dividing the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume by 24 hours. This underestimates the morning or evening rush hour traffic volumes. Traffic engineers estimate that peak hour traffic volumes are typically 8-12% of the ADT not the 1/24 or 4.17% used in the screening analysis. The CO anaiysis needs to be redone using the proper procedure. Page 321, Mobile Sources discussion. While a local area CO analysis is important in the assessment of air quality related to the proposed General Plan Update, an emissions inventory of criteria pollutants is also necessary to document the total emissions that are being emitted into the San Diego region by the project. A local area CO analysis only analyzes one pollutant which is in attainment of the California and federal ambient air quality standard. Because II is in a state of attainment, II is unlikely to result in exceedances on a iocal level. Consequently, the air quality analysis needs to be focused on criteria pollutants that are not in a state of attainment such as ozone precursors (NOX and ROG), PM10 and PM2.5. An emissions inventory for criteria pollutants of concern is necessary to determine the quantity of emissions that would be generated by all emission sources associated with the General Plan. The DEIR analysis is deficient because it does not provide an emissions inventory which is necessary to differentiate the General Plan scenarios and determine which is the least impacting in terms of air quality. The South Coast Air Basin (SOCAB) which includes Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties also are in a state of nonattainment for the same pollutants as San Diego. Air quallly analyses for the SaCAS are required to have an emissions inventory of criteria pollutants of concern. Because the San Diego APCD does not have an official policy for sources they do not regulate (such as vehicle emissions), air quality consultants in San Diego often use air qualily assessment guidelines developed for the SOCAB which require an emissions inventory to present a comprehensive analysis whereby each scenario can be comparatively evaluated. As such, the air qualily analysis presented in the DEIR is deficient and needs to include an emissions inventory for each scenario. CV 00030 ~~ February 14, 2005 Page 10 of 13 Page 322, 2nd paragraph, last sentence which states "As a result CO concentrations at these intersections will likely decline in the future despite the anticipated increase in traffic." This is an incorrect, conclusionary statement because though emission rates in the future are projected to decrease, the number of vehicles will increase by magnitudes and there would be increased traffic congestion which severely reduces vehicle speeds which increases emission rates. Traffic volumes are projected to increase at some locations by magnitudes of 8 times as shown in Table 5.12-6 of the DEIR. Not analyzing future CO concentrations also is not consistent with Caltrans' TransDortation Proiect-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol. Section B3.5 states "The build year should be used for all projects. The build year being the time following project completion when traffic on the new facility is projected to stabilize." As such, future year CO concentrations need to analyzed and the DEIR recirculated. Page 324. The analysis of the Preferred Plan and the Scenarios is not adequately evaiuated. The text discusses industrial and landfill uses but neglects the largest source of emissions which are exhaust emissions from vehicle sources. An emissions inventory of -stationary and mobile sources is necessary to differentiate the differences in the quantities of emissions that are generated under each scenario. A qualitative assessment is without basis and conclusionary because it doesn't make a good faith attempt to assess the amount of emissions that are produced by each scenario, Various air quality models and methods are available for this quantitative assessment and these analyses are commonly found in air quality assessments for general plans. Page 325, 3,d paragraph. The stateme"t ".. .increase air emissions will be roughly proportional to an increase in population" is incorrect. Residential uses are not the general determinant of air pollution generation. Commercial or industrial areas while having no population have substantial quantities of vehicle trips or stationary emissions. Vehicle trips associated with these non-residential uses also tend to be longer than residential related vehicie trips. ~~ Page 316, Air Quality Plans. The General Plan update and scenarios have not been evaluated for consistency with the Chula Vista Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan. Which scenario produces the greatest reduction in carbon dioxide? Would the General Plan scenarios obstruct the implementation of this plan? Quantification of carbon dioxide emitted under each scenario is necessary to evaluate which plan would be the most preferable plan in the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Insufficient Information on Modeling Output in Appendix F. No modeling output is pres,,!nted for either the CO analysis nor the emission factors used. Omission of this data prohibits peer review necessary for public disclosure and review. Flawed Modeling Method on Percentage of Vehicle Cold Start Appendix F, page 3, last paragraph. The CO analysis used a 20% cold start for vehicles. Based on Table B.6 of the Transportation Project-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol, the following shows cold start percentages for the peak evening rush hour: Central Business District 25-40% Fringe Areas 15-40% Outer Arterials 15-30% The 20% cold start percentage used in the DEIR does not represent the worst-case approach which is necessary for a conservative analysis. Flawed Modeling Method on Worst-case Wind Speed cv 00031 February 14, 2005 Page 11 of 13 Appendix F, page 3, last paragraph which states "A worst-case wind speed of 1.0 meter per second was also assumed for the caiculations". 1.0 meter per second (m/s) is not the worst- case wind speed. 0.5 mls is the worst-case wind speed uniess meteorological data demonstrates that this wind speed is not the worst case. Based on periods of calm winds in the area, a wind speed of 0.5 m/s should have been used in the analysis. . Use of Old Data Tables 5.11-4 and 5.11-5 contain dated pollution monitoring data from four years ago. These tables need to be revised to show current air quality data. . Insufficient Information Provided Table 5.11-4. PM2.5 and other criteria poilutants should be shown especially since PM10 is in a state of nonattainment. . Flawed Statements Page 311 1" paragraph, "Ozone is the primary air pollution problem in the SDAB". This statement is incorrect. PM 1 0 is also in a state of nonattainment. Table 5.11-3 The Table is incorrect in stating that PM2.5 is to be designated. The CARB website htto:!/www.arb.ca.aov/desia/admis pm25.pdf shows that San Diego is in a state of nonattainment for PM2.5. Noise . No analysis of the increased traffic noise impact on existing uses Page 360, Section 5.12.4. The analysis is flawed because though it prescribes mitigation for new development projects due to a high increase in noise and excessive noise levels overall, it does not address existing uses that would experience a very noticeable increase in already excessive noise levels. Are all existing parks, residential units, hospitals, schools and other noise sensitive uses going to have acceptable noise levels as per Table 5.12-7 of the DEIR? There are existing noise sensitive uses that are impacted by substantial noise levels. The Generai Plan update will further increase these noise leveis. The mitigation measures listed in this section would not be effective at addressing existing noise sensitive uses. As such, a finding of less than significant noise impacts can not be made and the statement that the General Plan update is self-mitigating needs to be removed. Page 346, Section 5.12.3. The quantification of noise does not include the actual noise level that would be experienced by noise sensitive receivers. The information on the increase is necessary but also the actual noise level at the property line of noise sensitive receivers. Figure 5.12-7 does show noise contours but does not convey what the noise levels are at the property lines of noise sensitive uses or the interior noise levels. The threshold of significance which is the resuit in the exposure of people to excessive noise is not adequately addressed. . Lack of Public Disclosure on Differences between Scenarios Page 354, Section 5.12.3.1. This section does not discuss what the differences in noise levels are from the various General Plan scenarios. There is no analysis nor indication as to which least noise impacting. r::v 00032 ~~ February 14, 2005 Page 12 of 13 . Flawed methodology The basis for the fleet mix percentages used in the modeling of traffic noise is incorrect. Based on the vehicle fleet presented in the EMFAC2002 model for San Diego County, the average percentage of heavy duty gas and diesel trucks is 3.1 % whereas the DEIR used 1 %. The EMFAC2002 model also has a medium duty truck mix of 7.74% as opposed the DEIR's assumption that only 2% of the fleet vehicle mix is medium duty trucks. The freeway percentages of trucks is also low. Verification with Caltrans as to the proper truck usage on highways is needed. Trucks greatly increase noise levels from traffic. The use of lower medium and heavy duty truck estimates would underestimate the noise impact. Based on these much higher truck estimates, noise levels would be substantially higher than predicted in the DEIA. . Insufficient noise analysis in key areas Insufficient Analysis on Future Railway Operations Page 339. Future railway usage was not accounted for in the noise analysis. The General Plan update has policies which promote the use of transit oriented transportation. As such, railway usage should be predicted to increase. However, oniy current railway usage is analyzed. If freight cars are presently used or expected, that also needs to be analyzed. This analysis of railway noise is deficient until Mure railway noise is analyzed which would increase the area of noise impact. . Insufficient Analysis on Vibration Impacts Page 339. Vibration from existing and future railway usage was not accounted for in the analysis. The General Plan update has policies which promote the use of transit oriented transportation. As such, railway usage should be predicted to increase. However, neither vibration from current or future railway usage was analyzed. This analysis of railways is deficient until existing and future railway vibration as well as other sources of vibration are analyzed. Insufficient Analysis on Future Aircraft Operations Page 341. Future aircraft operations were not accounted for in the noise analysis. Aviation forecasts project increases in both passenger and air freight usage. However, only current aircraft operations are analyzed. This analysis of aircraft noise is deficient until future railway noise is analyzed. Public Utilities-Water Supply . Reliance on policies to mitigate Inadequate water supply CEOA Guidelines Section 15083.5 requires cities and counties to consult with water agencies at the notice of preparation stage of environmental review. Section 15083.5(A) specifically notes this requirement for amendment to General Plans, requiring consultation for "An amendment to, or revision of, the land use element of a general plan or a specific plan, which would result in a net increase in the stated population density or building intensity to provide for additional development." The inconsistency between the estimates of growth in the General Plan and the water demand forecasts is a serious discrepancy that requires further evaluation before adoption of the General Plan Update. CEOA requires in Section 15083.5(3)(c) that if a public water system concludes there would be insufficient water to serve the proposed project, it shall provide the city or county with its plans for acquiring additional water supplies. Additionally, one of the benefits of preparing an Initial Study with a Notice of Preparation is to receive feedback from the water suppliers about how a projected shortfall might be handled and a timeframe for doing so. Conformance to policies to CV 00033 ~~ February 14, 2005 Page 130f13 mitigate inadequate water supply is difficult to enforce when the policies contain such wording as ensure, coordinate, accelerate, and identify. There is no guarantee that the policies will adequately mitigate the water supply shortfall. Growth-Inducing Impacts The second paragraph states "The General Plan update would result in a more inclusive community, maintain a balance between housing and employment, and foster a stable economic base and diverse employment opportunities." This is not at all substantiated in the EIR, which does not include any socio-economic analysis and utterly fails to include a Population and Housing analysis. Alternatives . The method of developing the 'Reduced Project Alternative' is confusing and not logical. The combination of various 'scenarios' to represent the least intensive components of each does not necessarily result in a meaningful alternative. The development of EIR alternatives is to be based on the alternative's potential to reduce significant impacts identified for the proposed project. 'Throwing together' components of other scenarios will not necessarily meet this objective, and in this case, clearly did not. No significant impacts were eliminated relative to the proposed project. . Since no quantitative analysis of the alternatives has been conducted, it cannot be determined whether impacts have been reduced to less than significant. ~~ Generally project alternatives that reduce land use intensity and density will reduce many environmental impacts, including physical resource impacts, public services and utilities, traffic, air quality, and noise impacts. The anaiysis of the Reduced Project Alternative, Community Character Alternative, and Reduced Traffic Alternative are not meaningful because the analysis simply makes this conclusion. Since impacts are not quantified and compared to the significance thresholds, it is not possibie to determine the extent to which impacts wouid be reduced or whether they would be reduced to less than significant. . Reduced Traffic Impact Alternative The rationale behind the formulation of this alternative is weak. It simply widens arterials to accommodate the land uses proposed in the General Plan Update. It would be much more logical to develop a land plan that would result in reduced traffic generation, and determine the reduction in intensity and densities that would be required to reduce traffic impacts to a level of less than significant. After preparation of that land plan, the resultant alternative should be reviewed to determine if it could meet the objectives of the proposed project. . Project Alternatives that have the ability to lessen or eliminate the significant impacts of the proposed project have not been developed or evaluated. The alternatives were not designed with the specific objective of reducing or eliminating the identified significant impacts of the project including: energy, water supply, traffic, and air quality. Moreover, based on the review comments in this letter, we believe the General Plan Update would aiso likely result in significant Population and Housing, Noise, Land Use, and Visual impacts, either because these impacts have been inadequately addressed or not addressed at all. r:v 00034 41 Corporate Park, Suite 300 Irvine, eX 92606 949.550.1994 main 949.550.1911 fax '<,,'.,.' ," ,'.' ,'J;,-'--:.'t' , "" '..; ,'"\1'...';, "',,:: wwW~.urbii:nXroadS;Co-~.

Urban Crossroads Inc. is pleased to provide this peer review of the Citv of Chula Vista General Plan Update Transportation Studv (Kimley Horn and Associates, December, 2004). The study evaluates existing conditions and several broad General Plan alternatives. The detailed results of our review are summarized in the remainder of this letter. Based upon our review, a key concern is that the traffic study report recommends a significant change in the currently adopted General Plan policies stating that the City of Chula Vista strives to maintain LOS C traffic conditions, with no more than two hours of LOS D being allowed. A large area of the City located south of SR-54, west of the 1-805 Freeway, north of L Street and east of the 1-5 Freeway is recommended for a much lower LOS standard (LOS E). Other key conclusions are that the land use altematives evaluated in the study will result in increased traffic volumes in this area. These increases, combined with the proposed downgrade of H Street from Broadway to Hilltop Drive, will result in increased congestion in the downtown area of Chula Vista. The study does not identify this as a significant impact simply because of the lowered LOS standard mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph. cv 00035 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 2 Existinq Conditions The first section of the report describes existing conditions and begins with a review of the Adopted General Plan Circulation Element. The study specifically notes that Objectives 2 and 8 of the adopted General Plan identify level of service (LOS) C as the operational goal for City streets and intersections. The study also mentions other currently adopted objectives, including objectives that: · "promote the development of well planned communities which will tend to be self-supportive and thus reduce the length of the vehicular trip, reduce dependency on the automobiie, and encourage the use of other modes of travel. " . ".. .address encouraging local (rather than regional) transit service. The study also notes that the City of Chula Vista "growth management program requires the City council to hold a public hearing to consider a development moratorium if the observed average travel speed on a designated arterial falls below the performance standard (i.e. LOS C, with no more than two hours of LOS D during peak hours): The report dismisses the need for growth management program (GMP) analysis because the General Plan effort focuses on long range development in the City. This would seem to be a weakness of the study, as the General Plan should result in conditions that are consistent with the other adopted programs and policies of the City of Chula Vista, including the GMP. The remainder of the discussion of current plans and policies in this section of the report discusses recent long range planning efforts by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and emphasizes that these long range planning efforts focus on increased transit service and smart growth concepts. c:v 00036 . Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 3 The existing conditions section of the report then goes on to describe existing transportation conditions in the City of Chula Vista. The analysis only addresses daily roadway segments and indicates that 12 of 91 roadway segments (13%) currently experience unacceptable levels of service. Only 3 segments (3%) currently experience failing (LOS F) conditions. Arterials currently experiencing deficient operations under existing conditions include H Street, Bonita Road, Telegraph Canyon road, Otay Lakes Road, and Third Avenue. The final part of the Existing Conditions section of the report evaluates peak hour freeway levels of service and concludes that segments of the Interstate (1-)5 Freeway (LOS 0), the 1-805 Freeway (LOS Fa), and State Route (SR-)54 (LOS 0 and Fa) all experience unacceptable levels of service under existing conditions. Future Conditions A number of changes to the proposed future circulation system are described in the initial section of the Future Conditions discussion. A number of facilities are recommended to be downgraded, including H Street from Broadway to Hilltop Drive, Woodlawn Avenue from F Street to G Street, Otay Lakes Road from East H Street to Bonita Road (segments of which are already experiencing deficiencies under existing conditions), and elimination of a partial interch;~mge for East Palomar Road at the 1-805 Freeway. Various other recommended changes represent either upgrades or roadway realignments. The rationale for downgrading H Street is predicated on the difficulty of acquiring right of way due to existing development patterns. The General Plan is a long range planning tool (as noted earlier in the traffic study report) and right of way could be required as part of the process of approving redevelopment of existing uses as they become outdated and subject to turnover. A similar rationale is presented for Woodlawn Avenue. cv 00037 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 4 The analysis then proceeds to present data related to future conditions assuming that the Regional Transit Vision (RTV) is implemented, while stating that the environmental impact report is based on analysis that does not include the RTV. The report also discusses the benefits of grade separating the San Diego Trolley line at E Street and H Street, without identifying a funding source or implementation mechanism. The analysis also presents revised criteria for establishing deficiencies without identifying the revised criteria. For instance, H Street from Broadway to Hilltop Drive is identified as a 4 lane Major Street under existing conditions, with an acceptable volume of 30,000 vehicles per day (VPD). The future year analysis designates the same segment of H Street as a 4 lane Urban Arterial, with an acceptable volume of 42,000 VPD. There is no explanation for the 40% increase in acceptable daily traffic volume for a roadway where no change in the number of lanes or other characteristics is planned. The study then discusses revisions to the currently adopted General Plan, suggesting that the area of the City south of SR-54, west of the 1-805 Freeway, north of L Street and east of the 1-5 Freeway is recommended to become an "Urban Core" area. A key question is whether the City of Chula Vista is truly representative of an "Urban Core" area, and more importantly, if this is consistent with the wishes of the local residents of the City. The report discusses ....infill opportunity zones," areas of concentrated development around transit centers." This discussion is used to justify the acceptability of reduced automobile mobility and increases in acceptable volumes. It is important to note that infill opportunity zones are generally considered to be within walking distance (1/4 mile or less) of transit centers. This section of the report also presents the rationale for increased capacities and a change in acceptable LOS from LOS C to LOS E. This is an important change in the currently adopted General Plan and should be emphasized to a greater extent. Since this represents a change to the currently adopted General Plan, all subsequent analysis cv 00038 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 5 should be presented on the basis of the existing (currently adopted) standards and criteria. Changes to the criteria should then be presented as "proposed" future conditions. Also, no quantitative improvements are presented that justify an increase in capacity in the designated Urban Core area. The report qualitatively states that the new maximum capacities "assume implementation of traffic and multi-modal improvements." . The report then discusses a series of policies intended to further the goal of reducing dependence on automobile in the Urban Core area. A revised definition of the threshold of significance is then presented that allows the LOS to deteriorate from LOS C to LOS D or LOS E without identifying a significant impact. This is a key point that should be expanded upon. The study should explicitly identify both changes in capacity and changes in the criteria defining an acceptable LOS as potentially significant impacts until such time as the recommended (diminished) standards are adopted. . The transportation study proceeds to analyze the specific General Plan alternatives under consideration. The currently adopted General Plan alternative is characterized ih the report as resulting in 23 of 109 roadway (21 %) segments experiencing unacceptable levels of service, assuming that the remainder of the region is developed to 2030 projected population and employment levels (and SR-125 is operating as a toll road). As a result of the planned widening of H Street, the worst daily LOS on H Street is LOS D (compared to LOS F under existing conditions). The currently adopted General Plan alternative results in only 12 deficient segments if SR-125 is assumed to operate as a freeway (without tolls), even with full buildout of surrounding areas of the region. The analysis of the General Plan alternatives does not use a consistent measure to evaluate traffic conditions. The misleading conclusion that results from this inconsistency is that the preferred General Plan land use altemative, although more intense than the currently adopted General Plan, actually reduces traffic impact compared to existing conditions. For example, daily traffic volumes on H Street from cv 00039 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 6 Broadway to Hilltop Drive increase from 26,055 VPD to 36,600 VPD (40% increase). Using the capacity value presented in the existing conditions analysis, this would be identified as an unacceptable level of service and significant impact of the proposed General Plan preferred alternative. Comparing the traffic volumes on the same segment of H Street for the currently adopted General Plan (31,300 VPD) and the General Plan preferred alternative (36,600 VPD) clearly depicts the 17% increase in traffic volumes that will result from the proposed intensification in the heart of the City of Chula Vista. This comparison ignores the impact of the proposed downsizing of H Street from a six lane facility to a four lane facility. The study concludes by present1ng a series of mitigation measures that would reduce the identified impacts, but not to less than significant levels. The study essentially concludes that the land use proposed under the preferred alternative will require that the City of Chula Vista accept reduced level of service standards for its arterial roadways in the proposed "Urban Core" and recognize that a basic disconnect will exist between the City's Land Use Element and Circulation Element, even with the relaxed level of service standards being recommended. REVIEW SUMMARY Urban Crossroads, Inc. review of the Transportation Study prepared to support the City of Chula Vista General Plan update indicates that the analysis does not clearly identify the effects of the proposed land use changes in terms of increased traffic volumes on City streets. The analysis would more accurately depict the potential impacts of the General Plan alternatives by clearly identifying the independent effects of: . Proposed land use changes (by presenting direct traffic volume comparisons of the altematives). c:v 00040 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER February 11, 2005 Page 7 . Proposed circulation system changes (by presenting analysis using consistent capacities for various roadway sizes). . Reduced impacts resulting from adopting reduced I relaxed LOS standards. Based upon this review, the primary conclusions are: . · The proposed land use alternatives will increase traffic volumes. · Downgrading roadway sections (for instance H Street is downgraded from a planned 6 lane facility to an already existing 4 lane cross section) will increase the resulting roadway volume to capacity ratios to less than acceptable levels under current City standards. . The only "improvement" compared to the currently adopted General Plan results from recognizing that future increases in traffic volumes and congestion are presumably inevitable and therefore reducing the standard of what constitutes "acceptable" automobile mobility in favor of increased urban form and development opportunities.

We were also encouraged to see that the developer of the Espanada Project has withdrawn his application. As promised, I have given additional consideration to the issues we discussed in your office last Monday regarding the GPU and the Special Study Area. I have also discussed these issues with other members of our coalition. This letter is intended to confirm the understandings we have regarding these issues, and to provide you with our response to your suggestions and proposals. GPU I understand that you requested staff to provide a General Plan Update for City Council consideration, that provides a mid-rise heigbt designation for the Transportation Focus Area at the area around Third Avenue and R Street, which includes the UCl and UC2 Urban Core Specific Plan area. This is consistent with the GPU Steering Committee Reco=endations. We understand you share our concerns about the need for transitions between co=ercial and residential uses, and will therefore request the inclusion of setback, step-back and other requirements in the Urban Core Specific Plan for the Transportation Focus Areas. As envisioned, therefore, the GPU will include a mid-rise heigbt designation in downtown Chula Vista, a position consistently held by Roosevelt Street Coalition in correspondence and public statements since last year, including my February 14, 2005 letter to you regarding the Draft EIR for the GPU. EIR Should we become aware of any errors in the ErR, we intend to inform your staff so these errors can be corrected and to ensure a complete and accurate document in the public interest. Special Study Area - Scope It is my understanding that you support the continued consideration of more intense development along certain areas ofR Street and the completion of an economic and land use study for this area. CV 00052 Letter to Mayor Steve Padilla October 18, 2005, Page 2 of 2 It is also my understanding that you envision the special study area would focus on economic development issues along the H Street corridor area. Further, it is my understanding that any reco=endations or proposals that arise from the "Special Study" process for high-rise development will require a General Plan Amendment and will likely require an Urban Core Specific Plan Amendment Special Studv Area - Public Participation Finally, it is my understanding that you are committed to a truly open and public process with regard to the study area, including: . a citizens advisory committee that is representative of all points of view, . an unbiased public information component to ensure that residents are aware of the process and any proposals under consideration and . several opportunities for public input Position on Hi-Rise Roosevelt Street Coalition remains unified in our opposition to high-rise development along H Street Our position has been consistent, and while we appreciate the acco=odations you have made regarding some of our issues, we remain convinced that our position represents the best interests of our city and reflects the overwhelming opinions and wishes of residents. For this reason, we will continue to actively work to prevent high-rise development along H Street by keeping residents informed, and by encouraging our supporters to make their views known. Ballot Measure Consistent with these understandings, the Roosevelt Street Coalition and the other signatories to the initiative will not continue to oppose the GPU and the ElR and will not take any subsequent action to finance or support a petition or referenda regarding the GPU. In addition, we will immediately withdraw the Notice of Intent to circulate the petition filed with the City Clerk on October 7,2005. However, we reserve the right to co=ent upon the draft GPU and to support or oppose the UCSP, with regard to other issues not addressed in this letter. In addition, we are relying on your leadership to ensure that the City Council takes actions consistent with these understandings. Please let us know if our understanding of your positions on these issues is accurate. Again, thank you for your time and for your interest in the positions of our organization. Sincerely, ~~ EARL ~r' C7 CV 00053 ;. " OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Stephen C. Padilla October 19,2005 Earl Jentz c/o Balboa Realty 397-A 3'd Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 Dear Mr. Jentz This letter is sent to memorialize our recent discussions concerning the draft General Plan Update (GPU), and in response to your letter of October 18,2005. On October 3,2005,1 met with you to discuss your concerns related to the GPu. At the City Council meeting on October 4,2005,1 directed staff to return with an alternative to the Preferred Plan, for City Council consideration for its inclusion in the GPU process, that designates the Transportation Focus Area (TF A) at the Third and H Street Area (which includes the UCl and UC2 areas within the draft Urban Core Specific Plan) for mid-rise development. 1 will support this alternative and seek Council endorsement at the earliest opportunity because of the concerns raised by the public and to avoid dividing the co=unity. It's my understanding that staff has almost completed this alternative. I anticipate the GPU, with the alternative language 1 proposed, would be before the City Council for adoption in mid-December. 1 share your concerns about the need to provide for appropriate transitions between co=ercial and residential areas with the TF A's. Consequently, I support the inclusion of additional, specific policies in the GPU applicable to the Transit Focus Areas. Such policies should provide more well-defined direction regarding such areas as set backs, step backs, circulation, and solar access and shadowing. With regard to the H Street corridor study, the action taken by the City Council at the August 18th meeting was to direct staffto designate H Street, ITom the H Street/I-5 trolley station easterly to the future transit station area at Third Ave., as a Transit Focus Corridor special study area. At present, the actual location of the future transit station on H Street near Third Avenue is not known, and it is reflected as a floating symbol in the GPU. In addition, proposed revised GPU Figure- 5-17 A depicts the study area as generally west of Fourth Ave. and extending to the transit focus area at 1-5 and H St. The r::v 00054 276 Fourth Avenue" ChuIa Vista.

Fax (619) 476-5379 Eurl Jentz October 19, 2005 Page 2 proposed draft GPU language (policy LUT 2.6) indicates that the precise boundaries will be established at the time of the study. I intend, and will ask support of the other Council members, that staff prepare a detailed scope for the study, including specific proposed boundaries, that would be presented to the City Council for acceptance and authorization prior to undertaking the study. In addition, it is my desire that the City select a consultant for the study that has the respect of the community as well as experience working with the citizens of Chula Vista. I intend to propose that the Holiday Gardens proj ect be specifically excluded ftom the study area. I am committed to a transparent, public process regarding the proposed study on H Street. Furthermore, I intend on proposing the establishment of a citizen's advisory committee to be composed of members that are representative of all relevant stakeholders in Chula Vista, including key community groups. This will ensure that all viewpoints are taken into consideration in the review of the proposed study. I will support a study that broadly addresses critical economic development and land use issues along the H Street Corridor. The study will develop a pathway towards making the Corridor a reinvigorated and vibrant regional commercial and retail economic area by developing strategies to retain and grow existing businesses and identify and attract new jobs and economic development issues. I appreciate your decision to withdraw the proposed initiative and am confident that, by continuing to work together, the citizens of Chula Vista will benefit from our constructive dialogue. I respect and support every citizen's right to hold and express their opinions and value the time and effort you have invested in Chula Vista. sm'~'0t2ryJ:UL Stephen C.

The information in section 5.13.3 of the Report is inconsistent and not sufficiently complete to support the fmding articulated in Section 5.13.3.5 that no significant impacts to the provision of school services would result and no mitigation is required. In that regard, section 5.13.3 states at the top of page 478, "As seen in Table 5.13-10, no additional elementary schools would be required in the west upon buildout of the Preferred Plan..." However, Table 5.13-10, at the bottom of page 477, identifies an additional new elementary school need of3.87 in the Nortwest and 1.75 in the Southwest for a total of 5.60 new elementary schools needed in west Chula Vista. . 2. The the fmding articulated in Section 5.13.3.5 that no significant impacts to the provision of school services would result and no mitigation is required is also inconsistent with the statement in section 5.13.3 that, "Proposed development and the projected increase in the number of elementary, middle school, and high school students under any of the scenarios (preferred Plan and Scenarios 1,2, or 3) would have a substantial impact on the existing schools since they are already at or near capacity regardless of which is ultimately selected." 3. Although the Report lists associated policies, at pages 479 and 480, that address school services needs, which seems to mitigate the statement at page 478 of the Report that, "Specific sites for CVESD and SHUHSD have not met been determined. Siting and construction of the facilities could have a potential environmental impact.", none of the policies listed at pages 479 and 480 of the Report address the impacts of significant increases in the cost to purchase the land for future school sites. Spicifically, the Draft General Plan Update ("Plan") fails to identify potential school sites to be zoned for school uses instead of other uses, such as residential, business, industrial or commercial that make the land more expensive to purchase. For example, in the Otay Ranch development in the east side of Chula Vista, the cost of land has forced SUHSD to purchase a smaller site on which it will be forced to build double or multi-level school facilities, thereby exposing the students and that community to significant environmental impacts. CV 00064 10/3112005 Page 2 of2 4.The Report fails to mention or provide mitigation for the impact of the inadequacy of statutory funding, both in terms of their amount and availability, for the construction of new school facilities needs identified in the Plan. While the developers may be able to meet their school facility funding obligations by paying the statutory fees, that is no consolation to students and parents who are forced to attend schools that may be oflower quality than schools in other parts ofChula Vista because of the . inadequacy of the statutory funding. For example, the Report makes no mention of alternative funding sources, such as a portion on the incremental tax generated by redevelopment, that may be used to supplement the school districts' limited schools facility statury funding. 5. The Report fails to provide any data or other authoritative source to support the statement/conclusion at page 478 that, "...the demographics of households moving into downtown redevelopment areas may have a significantly lower student generation rate than the current household composition." In fact, the recent experience in the redevelopment of downtown City of San Diego has been reported as just the opposite. That is, that the San Diego Unified School District is experiencing great difficulty in providing adequate school facilities in the downtown neighborhoods because the number of students moving into the downtown redeveloped area is much larger than planned.

I want you all to know my side of the story before the rumors fly. Regards, Sharon Floyd , . CV 00067 11/01/2005 . . ;t;: With a heavy heart, I write this to inform the residents of Chula Vista of my recent ouster from the CrossroadsII Steering Committee. In what can only be described as a "kangaroo court" and after.a highly manipulated process that produced no actual evidence whatsoever, I was. removed from the Steering Committee, based on vague claims of "disloyalty". The shocking actions on the part of some of the members of the Crossroads Steering Committee over the past three weeks have been both undemocratic and unfair. I have never been disloyal. Many of you may remember speaking with me at the Crossroads Booth on Third Avenue during festival days. In fact, it was my call to Michael Turko that convinced him to come to Chula Vista and publicize our fight to save the trees in Friendship Park. That action played into the inception of CrossroadsII. I have contributed greatly to the growth and recognition that Crossroads now enjoys. Yet, because I refused to be manipulated by five members who resented my independent approach to some issues, I was deemed "disloyal", "not a team player". Recent events, which I have documented, prove that the true leadership of Crossroads has shifted from President Pat Aguilar to member Peter Watry and wife, Susan. Patricia remains the public face of CrossroadsII, but the Watrys are the true "power behind the thr~ne". This is not what I signed up for. ... As a member of the Steering Committee, I have always hoped to influence the majority of members to see the wisdom in being a strong, respected grassroots advocacy voice, working to persuade and support the Mayor and Council in making the kind of decisions that would best benefit the residents of Chula Vista. Enhancing the quality of life while preserving the character of this city where I have lived for more than sixty years has always been my goal. My vision was that Crossroads would pattern itself after organizations that are successful in negotiations, such as Environmental Health Coalition. However, one of the claims against me was that I am a member of the leadership of Environmental Health Coalition. Several members of the Steering Committee object to my membership in EHC. I have never understood this as EHC has been a major force in bringing about a sane . Master Plan on our bay front, the future dismantling of the polluting power plant, and in keeping housing away from toxic and polluted areas, to name just a few of the benefits that EHC has fought for in our community. An harmonious working relationship with EHC is an obvious plus for all in our CV 00068 community. How sad that Crossroads' Steering Committee cannot raise itself above petty differences and do what is best far the community as a whole. There has always been a subtle divide within the Steering Committee between those who have seemed to feel that there was nothing to be gained by civility, that guerrilla warfare was the only way to 'win'; and those who, like me, feel that reasoning together through open communications was the higher road to follow and would accomplish much more. While I was on vacation, the few who have advocated guerilla warfare took control of Crossroads II, and Patricia Aguilar has become one of them. They have recently exhibited every negative modus operandi they have historically charged the City with using: i.e., duplicity, manipulation, meeting behind closed doors, disregard for individual rights, secret strategies, being swayed by money, and demeaning and slandering anyone who, by their definition, isn't 'a team player'. This is not the kind of leadership I wish to follow and I think that many of CrossroadsII membership would feel the same if they knew how the Steering Committee was operating. Unfortunately, it is my belief that Pat Aguilar has allowed herself to be subverted due to her anger of failing to secure votes on the City Council for the 90 foot height limit on August 18'h. Based on my recent experience, this is not a group that has any respect for differing opinions. In the short run, I suppose, they can dispense with people who disagree with them, such as was done to me. But in the long-run, a group with such an attitude cannot credibly claim to represent the community perspective. What a shame for the residents of Chula Vista that the promise of what we all hoped CrossroadsII would become has been so diminished. If there is any doubt that I do not have just cause to make these claims, p lease contact me. r ~ To the Council Members, Please know that I remain committed to working collaboratively with you and City staff to protect and improve the City we love. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, or to let me know how I can help you create an ever more perfect Chula Vista.

This will get addressed tonight. -----Original Message---- From: Patricia Aguilar [mailto:pataguilar@cox.net] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 1:29 AM To: Jim Sandoval; Ed Batchelder Cc: Bill Richter; Jerry & Carlene Scott; Galvez Jill; Jim Peterson; libritos@cox.net; Peter Watry; Sandi Duncan; Sharon Floyd; Susan Watry; Tom Davis; SamJongacre@aol.com; Dave Rowlands Subject: GPU West side workshop staff report Dear Jim, I picked up a copy of your staff report at the clerk's office, and was surprised to see that you seem to have missed the point about the "harmonizing change" theme. What is important about this concept, and what is different than anything I can find in the existing GPU (including revisions) is the emphasis on the PACE of change. In other words, under this theme neighborhoods could and would change over time, but more slowly than under the GPU as you have proposed it would allow. Because the harmonizing change principle requires that new development respect (not replicate, Jim, respect) the charader and scale of existing development, high-rise development could not be introduced adjacent to existing low-rise development, regardless of what the plan called for ultimately. But under most circumstances, mid-rise could be introduced adjacent to low-rise. The language (including revisions) in the GPU calls for compatibility with the FUTURE vision for a particular area. For example, under the GPU as currently written, high rise development could be introduced adjacent to single story development, as long as the plan called for more high-rise development where the single story development is located. Under the harmonizing change theme, new development could not proceed unless it respected what is on the ground now in terms of scale and character. This does NOT mean that you would have to "limit new development to the type and scale that exists today" (staff report page 5). For example, you could build a 3 or 4 story building next to a one story building. But you could not build a 10 story building next to a one story building, regardless of what the plan calls for ultimately, The theory behind harmonizing change is that neighborhoods should evolve over time, not change suddenly (a la proposed Espanada). I am sorry you missed this point. I think the committee got it.

Staff is aware of the dynamic of comprehensive parking solutions to the success of urban redevelopment and revitalization, as has been experienced by a number of cities. The Pasadena infonmation is helpful, and I will pass it along to others. We have included policy in the GPU that identifies the need to review and develop alternative parking strategies/solutions (credits, shard parking, etc.), particularly in the Urban Core. From here, the Urban Core Specific Plan would take the matter to the next level of detail via parking standards and other provisions for future parking programs. I'll follow up with Mary Ladiana in Community Development as to the ideas to-date. ----Original Message----- From: Mitch Thompson [mailto:mitchthompsonmitch@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 3:30 PM To: Bill Tripp; Bill Tripp; Gary Nordstrom; Gregory Alabado; Kevin O'Neill; Pamela Bensoussan; Patricia Aguilar; Paul Nieto; Randall Krogman; Rudy Ramirez; Russ Hall; Stephen Savel; Teresa Thomas; Terry Thomas; Duane Bazzel; Ed Batchelder; Jeff Barfield; Jim Sandoval; Mark Stephens Subject: Fwd: Pasadena revitalization Hi everyone, several days ago I was speaking to a colleague of mine and mentioned the comparision Pat had made to Pasadena. She sent me something regarding parking in downtown Pasadena that may be critical for redevelopment. I know the City to date has bought parking lots around 3rd, but this may need further investigation. I am not sUre if we should look at parking credits at some point in time. It will come up during the term of the General Plan. It may already have been looked at by staff, but I do not recall. Please take a look. Note: forwarded message attached. .

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE - OVERVIEW OF WESTERN CHULA VISTA LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PROPOSALS, AND PROPOSED DRAFT EDITS TO THE DRAFT GENERAL PLAN UPDATE DOCUMENT. This was the third in a series of three General Plan Update (GPU) workshops with the Planning Commission and City Council and focused on the Land Use and Transportation proposals in western Chula Vista, including both the Southwest and Northwest Planning Areas. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information to, and allow questions and dialog among, the Commissioners and Council toward preparing them in advance of taking action on the GPU at public hearings currently anticipated for October 2005. Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held on the date and at the time specified in the notice. Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing. Commissioner Horn announced that, upon reco=endation by the City Attorney, he would recuse himself from participation in the joint workshop since his current employer represents a client who owns land in the upper northwest sector of the City. Commissioner Nordstrom also announced that he would recuse himself due to a potential financial conflict of interest. Commissioners Horn and Nordstrom then left the meeting and did not return. ACTION: Commissioner Cortes moved to excuse the absence of Chair Madrid. Commissioner Tripp seconded the motion, and it carried 4-0. CV 00073 PUBLIC HEARING (C, llued) . City Attorney Moore stated that the Council and Plarrning Commission would be considering General Plan Updates for the Southwest and Northwest quadrants of the City. To that end, the Fair Political Practices Commission has opined that, because there are proposed land use designation modifications to property located within 500 feet of Councilmember Rindone's property, he should not participate in those portions of the discussion. Ms. Moore stated that the workshop would be formatted to discuss those portions of the General Plan Update that are not within 500 feet of Councilmember Rindone's property. Therefore, Councilmember Rindone would not have a conflict of interest and would be fully eligible to participate in the items presented. Mayor Padilla referenced the following written communications received on the dais: Letter from Todd Galarneau, Vice President of The Corky McMillin Companies, dated August 18, 2005, regarding the Chula Vista General Plan Update. Letter from Michael Green, dated August 18, 2005, regarding the enforcement of non- conforming land use for existing properties and the impacts on property owners as a result of future zoning changes. Letter from Assembly Member Juan Vargas, dated August 17,2005, expressing support for the Preferred Plan and proposed amendments from Mayor Padilla. Planning and Building Director Sandoval explained the workshop format. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder presented an overview of the General Plan Update. At 6:58 p.m., Commissioner Cortes stated that he had a potential conflict of interest with regard to the Southwest portion of the City, and he requested to be recused from discussions during that portion of the workshop. At 6:59 p.m., Mayor Padilla announced a brief recess. At 7:00 p.m., Mayor Padilla reconvened the meeting with Councilmembers McCann and Rindone and Commissioners Cortes, Felber, Tripp, Bensoussan present. City Attorney Moore reported that the workshop had been formatted in such a manner that Commissioner Cortes could not recuse himself for only a portion of the discussions. To that end, Ms. Moore explained that the Planning Commission would, therefore, not have a quorum, so could not take any official action or adopt any official motions, but could make comments for Council consideration. Commissioner Cortes left the meeting and the Planning Commission was officially adjourned. Mayor Padilla noted the following additional written correspondence received on the dais: Letter from Hans Busch, dated August 18, 2005 expressing opposition to high-rise buildings and the Espanada project; and a magazine article dated August 14,2005 referring to the lack of sunlight in Lower Manhattan as a result of tall, closely packed buildings. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder then continued with his presentation. Director Sandoval introduced the plan consultants, Walter Kieser and Jim Musbasch, Economic and Planning Systems, and William Anderson, Environmental Research Associates. Each consultant then talked about the growth management program and the dynamics of revitalization efforts for the City. PaJZC 2 - City Counci1lPlannine: Commission Minutes Auou.<t 18. 2005 CV 00074 PUBLIC HEARlNG (C .TIued) Mayor Padilla discussed the basic framework of his proposed amendments, including adoption of staffs recommendation that the existing transit focused areas at E Street and Interstate 5, H Street trolley and Interstate 5, Third Avenue and H Street, the Eastern Urban Center, and the bayfront (in a separate process) would remain; that there would be language that would restrict construction over eight stories to having to meet the very strict set of criteria set forth by staff; to request that the Council amend the segment of H Street that connects the transit focused area between Third Avenue and H Street and Broadway and H Street as a transit focused corridor and place that entire area in a special study; to add historic preservation language that establishes a formalized process for historic preservation, adopt a historic preservation ordinance, and conduct a comprehensive, citywide review of all of the City's historic sites; to add environmental justice language including policies to avoid the siting of industrial facilities and uses that propose a hazard to health and safety in proximity to schools or residential dwellings; to pursue as a goal 40 percent of our citywide electricity supply from clean renewable sources by 2017; to add a policy that would avoid siting a new or re-powered power plant, generation facilities or major toxic emitters within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or receivers (i.e. human beings, particular plant and life species); add an amendment recommended by the Steering Committee to remove the Third Avenue and H Street transit focus area and institute a citywide height limit of 90-feet, and to add the eighth theme, the "harmonizing change" theme. Katy Wright, representing Sweetwater Union High School District, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan Alternative, which she believed would support the district's objectives to fund future school facilities and administrative facilities on the west side. She added that the tax increment yielded from development would be instrumental in funding the modernization and new construction of schools on the west side. Jack Blakely, representing the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan, stating that the plan would enhance the community and particularly the downtown area by creating new jobs and putting "feet on the street." Lisa Moctezuma, representing the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association and Moctezuma Books, spoke on behalf of Dan Biggs, a member of the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association, who was not present at the meeting but who indicated support of the Preferred Plan, which he believed would add parks, upgrade and improve schools, and add affordable housing. He was also in support of the Mayor's proposal regarding the H Street corridor amendment. Ms. Moctezuma also spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments regarding the H Street corridor, stating that the revitalization of downtown Chula Vista would keep millions of dollars in the City and bolster community pride. She added that encompassing Third A venue and H Street as a transit focus area would enhance connectivity between eastern and western Chula Vista and that consideration should be given to constructing a Transamerica building in the City. She believed that the most exciting cityscape and signature architecture should be focused in the City's core. Dr. Richard Freeman, representing the Downtown Business Association, stated that the downtown business community needs the Preferred Plan to help jump start revitalization of the downtown area while maintaining its historic character. Judy Cave spoke in support of the Community Character Alternative, commenting that the east side of ChuIa Vista has been well planned with good landscaping throughout the area, and that the west side deserves no less. She talked about the lack of charm and uniqueness of the Gateway Business Center and believed that the inclusion of a fountain, shade trees and benches would have provided a lovely oasis in a very busy area. She was opposed to high-rise buildings, she believed greater density would lead to increased traffic congestion, and automobile and noise pollution. cv 00075 Page 3 - City CouncillPlmming Commission Minutes August 18,2005 PUBLIC HEARING (C inued) Uri Felman encouraged the Council to move forward and allow the City to grow. He wholeheartedly supported the master plan amendment. Greg Mattson, representing downtown business owners, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan Alternative and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He added that the H Street corridor is very important as a connection between eastern and western Chula Vista. Earl Jentz spoke in support of the General Plan Update Steering Committee recommendations for the Harmonizing Change element and a 90-foot height limit with four exceptions in the City. She= Harmer, representing Urban Housing Partners, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He explained that the property tax benefits from redevelopment would provide funds to help improve the infrastructure of the community and help support its quality of life. He believed that it would be sensible to leave some flexibility in the plan as it relates to height. He added that reconnecting people with transit would be a wise investment for the community. Billy Cox, representing the Chula Vista Police Officers Association, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, stating that the collaborative efforts between City staff, the Planning Commission, and the community is reflective of what needs to be considered for the City and its economic and character development to ensure changes for the better. Georgie Stillman stated that it was inappropriate to allow high rise development at Third Avenue and H Street and that it would negatively impact the older historic and stable family neighborhoods in the area. She suggested that the transit focus center with mixed uses be moved further west on H Street. Susan Skillman, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan, which she believed represented an investment in the City's economy and community members and which would breathe new life into the downtown area. She stated that redevelopment tax dollars must, by law, go to affordable housing and for improvements to and construction of schools. In addition, redevelopment would also provide revenue for increased police and fire services. Aileen Price opposed the prospect of high-rise buildings of 15 stories, but favored mid-rise and lower buildings. She spoke in support of community character. Mitch Mitchell, representing the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, stated that redevelopment is a tool that creates opportunities for Chula Vista to playa vital role in recruitment and retention of quality companies and employees, and allows people to live and realize the great American dream. Jackie Mcquade stated that building height restrictions of 40 to 90 feet should be immediately imposed citywide, including on the bayfront. She stated that Chula Vista is at a crucial fork "in the road and must decide whether to enhance the quality of life by preserving the character of the west side or sell out to the powerful developers. She added that high-rises create total gridlock and obstruct City views. . Deacon Greg Smyth, representing St. Rose of Lima, urged the Council to adopt the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments, which he believed had the best interests of Chula Vista at heart. He expressed the urgent need for redevelopment on the west side to enhance job growth and generate tax revenue for required .civic improvements, street repairs and infrastructure enhancements. He also spoke of the need for additional affordable housing. Deacon Smyth also spoke on behalf of Father John Dolan of St. Rose of Lima, who was not present at the meeting, but who indicated support of the Preferred Plan, which would provide opportunities for affordable housing communities and new jobs. Pue 4 ~ Cirv Council/PJanning r.nmmi~~inn Minute.c; AI1011.~ 1 R 700'-; CV 00076 PUBLIC HEARING (( inued) Peter Watry spoke about the proposed increase in density in northwest Chula Vista, a planned 40 percent increase in dwelling units in the area over the next General Plan cycle, which he believed was too much too soon. He urged the Council to instruct staff to lower the increase to 20-25 percent over the next cycle. Terry Thomas, representing the enviro=ental co=unity and the General Plan Update Steering Committee, spoke in favor of the co=unity character aspect, including the harmonizing of construction development and the 90-foot height limit. Regarding enviro=entaljustice, Ms. Thomas requested that major toxic air emitters not be allowed within 1,500 feet of sensitive receptors and vice versa. With reference to East H Street, she stated that it would be a misconception to believe that transit corridors and transit centers must include high-rises. She also suggested looking at the eco- economics of enviro=entally sustainable green technology. Mary Salas spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and talked about the smart mixed-use development that has occurred in San Diego's Uptown Hillcrest area. She favored seeing similar development in Chula Vista that would offer wonderful opportunities within the co=unity. Lisa Cohen, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Co=erce, expressed the Board of Director's full support of the Preferred Plan, stating that the proposed plan translates into more revenue to provide school improvements, affordable housing, parks, and co=unity gatherings that would be integrated into downtown. Ms. Cohen also spoke on behalf of William A. Hall, President of the Chula Vista Chamber of Co=erce, who was not present at the meeting, but who wished to express his solid support for the Preferred Plan, which he believed would not only raise millions of new tax dollars, but also help create scores of new businesses and, in turn, hundreds of new jobs, and would also serve to connect the integral part of the bayfront. Eli Ring opposed the plan update, stating that lower income residents would be replaced with higher income residents for tJee purpose of economic growth. He also opposed living in higher density housing. Jon Reed, Branch Manager of Countrywide Home Loans, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He stated that a critical ingredient of successful growth is a balanced plan to integrate commerce, housing, transportation, and services, while preserving and enhancing the character of the community. He added that the proposed plan would also produce much needed revenue for police, fue, and other valuable co=unity services. Jerome Sandoval stated that Chula Vista has a great opportunity to be a city that preserves historic neighborhoods, restores older, blighted neighborhoods, and creates vibrant new neighborhoods. He felt his students :&om Castle Park High School, their families, and less affluent areas were not represented by the community groups. He added that co=unity character should not be defined by the height of buildings. He urged the Council to move forward with the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. Patricia Aguilar, representing Crossroads II, spoke about the issue of "character," illustrating the differences in how the cities of Oakland and Pasadena are pursuing their downtown redevelopment. She explained that the City of Pasadena has undertaken a redevelopment approach of incorporating new elements with the old and maintaining co=unity character, medium density residential projects of between three and seven stories, light rail, and combined underground parking and residential and co=ercial development. She felt that the issue of height had nothing to do with density, stating that the City can get all the density it needs and still maintain a reasonable height and character. She suggested that the Council amend the proposed plan to include the two amendments recommended by the General Plan Update Steering Committee: 1) Regarding harmonizing change, that as a new building comes in, it does not have to replicate what currently exists, but does respect the existing structures and is compatible with the traditions and character of Chula Vista; and 2) establish he1ght limits in certain areas of the City. cv 00077 Page 5 - City Council/Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 PUBLIC HEARlNG (C .inued) Laura Hunter, representing the Environmental Health Coalition, spoke about the importance of environmental justice and the safe location of sensitive receptors in the land use planning efforts, as well as job quality and affordable housing. She requested consideration of increased flexibility and location in the areas of H Street and E Street, and that, should residential be included in the mixed use, they need to be located outside of 500 feet from the freeway. She also questioned how job quality, affordable housing, construction, and energy would be addressed. She stated that the Environmental Health Coalition is in support of the Preferred Alternative Plan with the amendments noted in the Mayor's memo, as long as people are not located within 500 feet of the freeway. Allison Rolfe, representing San Diego Baykeeper, spoke in support of establishing H Street as a corridor and special study area and of the Mayor's proposed amendments. She stated that downtowns are the best place for redevelopment and growth. She added that allowing flexibility and increased intensity in downtown areas takes pressure off other areas where high intensity development is not appropriate. With regard to high-rises, she spoke in support of the General Plan's requirements for signature architecture, clear public benefits, and regulations to deal with height, massing and appropriate transitions. With reference to transitions, she requested consideration be given to ensuring that an analysis of impacts to single-family units is included. Additionally, she believed . that the special study area should require that specific design guidelines related to aesthetics be established, as well as standards for ensuring sustainability, such as consideration for lead certification requirements. In standards regarding siting, she suggested that the location of high-rises in relation to the corridor itself be approximately 300 feet and no more than 500 feet from the corridor. Kathryn Lembo, representing South Bay Community Services, expressed the importance of redevelopment in the City to create a revenue stream that would provide for affordable housing that is sustainable. Ms. Lembo supported the Preferred Plan. Bob Crane suggested that the Council consider approving a more modest General Plan at first, with the option to amend it should there be a demand for higher buildings at a later time. Raul Sanchez, representing Teamsters Local 36, spoke in favor of the General Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, and he asked the Council to consider responsible development. Art Cantu, representing Teamsters Local 36, spoke in support of plans that would place density in the appropriate areas. He believed that tall buildings could be viable and good for the community, providing that they allow for public input and planning, sustainable jobs, and that they adequately address the infrastructure needs of all residents. He expressed support for the Preferred Plan with the inclusion of strong wage and hours standards, revenues and public input. Commissioner Tripp believed that the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments would offer the best opportunity for a broad policy document that would be effective for 10 to 20 years. Dana Richardson, representing Paradise Valley Hospital and the South Bay Partnership, expressed the need to see the same amenities that are on the eastern portion of the City added to the western portion in order to promote healthy and active lifestyles. She also supported the need for more parks, open spaces, and easy, efficient access to transportation. Ms. Richardson stated her support of the plan. Natasha Martinez spoke in support of the General Plan and agreed with Katy Wright, Sherm Harmer, and the Castle Park teacher. cv 00078 'P;lP'1! n - Coitv r.nl1ncil/Pl:mninp" Cnmmi.<;:!cinn MiT'111k'\. AUPlI<:t 1 R ?OO;: PUBLIC HEARING (C inued) Bob McAlister conveyed his support of the Preferred Plan and the H Street corridor amendment. He was excited at the prospect of increased revenues to bring parity between east-side and west-side schools. Pandra Boyle spoke in favor of the community alternative plan, community character plan, height limits, and the removal of F ourth Avenue and H Street as a location for large buildings. Gerry Loffredo spoke in opposition to high-rises and high density. He also expressed concern about the potential removal of trees in order to accommodate increased traffic. Dr. Peter Rullan, a business owner in the City, stated, that the local business owners would like to see development occur. He suggested consideration of a footprint concept versus height, and building recesses that would create a smaller footprint. He spoke in favor of the Mayor's plan. . Michell Rewerts stated that the area between E Street and H Street is full of apartment buildings, renters, and trailer parks, and she believed that this segment of the community is not being valued in the City's plan for revitalization on the west side. She urged the Council to value the very low-income residents of Chula Vista. Nick Aguilar, representing the San Diego County Board of Education, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the suggested amendments by the General Plan Steering Committee. He stated that the plan must facilitate orderly development and growth management to maximize economic development in order to have redevelopment that supports quality school facilities. He expressed the need to ensure that sites have been identified in the plan for future schools downtown. . Phil Stone commented that the area is running out of land and that it was, therefore, essential for western Chula Vista to have urban development that goes up rather than out, a plan that embraces smart growth, and a plan that encourages quality builders and developers to come to Chula Vista. He spoke in support of the Preferred Plan. David Hoffman, representing Hoffinan Insurance, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He felt that mid- to high-rise development along the transit corridor would be appropriate for downtown Chula Vista and would bring economic improvements to the area; as well as vibrancy and vitality to the urban core. Ge=aine Johnson was opposed to high-rise buildings. Tina Medina, representing the Chula Vista Convention and Visitor's Bureau, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. She believed that the long-term results of the plan would enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses in Chula Vista and make downtown more attractive to visitors. In addition, the plan would create more revenue for local parks, new restaurants, and businesses. Susan Walter requested consideration of the Harmonizing Change and Community Character plan. She stated that incorporating the proposed H Street corridor amendment into the plan at such short notice was unfair and created mistrust in City government. Cauxto Pena offered his support of the General Plan as it stands, stating that it would prepare Chula Vista for the future. CV 00079 Page 7 - City CouncillPlanning, Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 PUBLIC HEARING (C inued) Parks Pemberton spoke in opposition to the Preferred Plan. He expressed concern about eminent domain, and he questioned each Councilmember as to their views regarding eminent domain. It was the consensus of the Council that, in accordance with current City Policy, they do not support the use of eminent domain for private residences. Mr. Pemberton ta1ked about high-rise density zones at trolley stations, stating that the people living in the high-rises would continue to use their vehicles, while those people who would take advantage of the trolley would be driven out. Scott Vinson conveyed the need to stop making changes to the plan and to move forward. He spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. Chris Boyd, CEO of Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, agreed with the Castle Park teacher, and spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. Chad Blum, representing the San Diego Labor Council, spoke in full support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, which he believed would create economic growth, support environmental justice, and bring good jobs with livable wages and benefits to Chula Vista. David Ruch spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. Johnny Simpson, representing LB.E.W. #569, was supportive of planning that would place high density development uses in appropriate places, and he felt confident that the City would work to ensure balanced co=unities. He urged the inclusion of the Council's energy goals in the plan and encouraged the Council to implement the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. Nicholas Segura, representing LB.E.W. #569, stated that regardless of what type of construction occurs, opportunities should be given to local citizens to work and train on job sites utilizing standard wages and benefits. He spoke in support of taller buildings along the transit corridors and stated that it was critical to integrate infrastructure needs with housing and co=ercial needs. Daniel Machain spoke in support of responsible planning that would create economic growth, environmental justice, and good paying jobs with benefits.

Peter Mabrey, representing Scripps Mercy Hospital, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. He believed that the proposed changes for downtown would offer increased health care services for the co=unity. Ian Gill stated that the Preferred Plan reflects a real potential for revitalization and a remarkable restraint in respecting the scale and bulk of the single-family neighborhoods in Chula Vista that are a unique characteristic of the City. He believed that development on Third A venue offers the potential for a wide variety of development that would not only enhance and generate activity and retsil, but also provide funding for schools and affordable housing. He was opposed to height caps, which he felt legislated a unifo= bulk and massing that is not in the best interest of long-range planning. Mr. Gill urged the Council to consider and promote the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments. cv 00080 P;'lI7~ R - r.itv Council/Phmnimr r.nmmi""inn Minllte... A1HTTl<:t lR ?on.c; PUBLIC HEARING (( .inued) .

He stated that redevelopment from Third Avenue to the ba:yfront would bring a better quality of life to the area. He also spoke in support of moving or refurbishing the power plant. Rudy Ramirez expressed disappointment that discussions have resulted in divided co=unity support for either a Preferred Plan or a Co=unity Character Alternative. He stated that there are certain benefits to be gained from both plans. He acknowledged the necessity for increased density and high paying jobs in the co=unity. He stated that high-rises that go too high create a disconnect with the co=unity and a change in the character of the co=unity, which he felt needed to be preserved. Mariana Lopez spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. She conveyed the need for flexibility with regard to high-rises and continued discussions regarding parking, health issues, and intersections. Chris Lewis, representing the. Chula Vista Chamber of Co=erce, stated that while there are thoughtful arguments against certain height limits set forth in the plan, there are also equally good arguments for maintaining the provision to allow for mid to high-rise in certain areas. He believed that it would be disastrous to restrict the plan by capping the height limits, stating that higher buildings would allow for more public amenities such as parks and green areas, and that there would be provisions to allow discretionary review of high-rise projects. He asked the Council to look at the future of the co=unity and adopt the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. . Angela Allen expressed concern about rapid development and was hopeful that the Council would consider the concerns of the older residents in the City. She questioned why high-rises were not built in EastLake during its development.

With no further members of the public wishing to speak, Mayor Padilla closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bensoussan spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the Steering Committee reco=endations, including the harmonizing change theme. She also spoke in support of the Mayor's proposed amendments. With reference to high-rise buildings, she proposed that a criterion be added for regional significance. Commissioner Felber spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments.

CIJ 00081 Page 9 ~ City Council/Planning Commission MiDutcs August 18, 2005 PUBLIC HEARING (l illmed) Mayor Padilla spoke about the downtown core, which he believed was large enough and diverse enough to acco=odate a variety of land uses and building architecture, and provide jobs, housing, infrastructure, park spaces and schools that would uplift the west side. He stated that he would support the Preferred Plan and expressed the need to move forward with the special study of the transit focus corridor to establish appropriate zoning, densities and height. He asked for Council support of the Preferred Plan as well as his amendments. He also stated that he could support the Harmonizing Change language, reco=ended by the General Plan Steering Co=ittee, if it is well drafted and consistent, and as long as everything doesn't have to be built the same way as what's already there. He also indicated that he would not support a 90- foot height limit citywide. CounciImember Rindone asked for clarification regarding the development of Route 627 and its potential effects on the transit focus area. Robert Leiter, Planning Director for SANDAG, responded that Route 627 is a proposed bus rapid transit route that would extend along H Street, from Interstate 5 past Interstate 805 and to Southwestern College. It was included in the adopted 2030 Regional Transportation Plan by SANDAG. He explained that SANDAG would be working closely with the City in updating the plan to ensure timely and appropriate transit service for the City. CounciImember Rindone also acknowledged and thanked David Krogh for his voluntary participation in the transportation planning meetings. He then spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and amendments for the H Street corridor, stating that the plan would provide opportunities for the west side of the City to grow and prosper. CounciImember McCann believed that the Preferred Plan would provide funding for schools, parks, roads, police, fire, and affordable housing. He stated that a study of the H Street corridor would assist in retaining hospital facilities and improving health care for the citizens. He stated that the process must continue to be a public process and must include Scripps and Chula Vista Shopping Center as major stakeholders in the plan.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT "WITH I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO, INC. FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF STORM WATER PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS (Continued from August 9, 2005) . . The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board requires co-permittees to implement, among other things, public education and outreach programs, with the goal of increasing public awareness regarding protection and improvement of regional and local water resources and preservation of their beneficial uses. Staff has determined that, in order to enhance existing activities and increase the overall effectiveness of the City's compliance program, the NPDES public education and outreach program must be broadened to include all stakeholders, including environmental groups, local water agencies, local schools, businesses, developers, community groups, the Nature Center, and others.

NEXT STEPS (Ed Batchelder) 4. ADJOURNMENT . CV 00095 COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item No.: Meeting Date: 1/ 11/1/05 ITEM TITLE: Report; Potential edits to the Draft General Plan Update regarding Transit Focus Areas Director OfPI"?g and Bui1ding~ City Manager rJI t- pi; (4/5thsVote: Yes_ No..xJ SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: At the October 4, 2005, City Council meeting, the Mayor indicated his desire to have an option before the Council for consideration as part of the General Plan Update (GPU) that would provide for a maximum of mid-rise development for all of the property located within the Transit Focus Area (TF A) at Third and H Street. Based on subsequent direction from the City Manager's office, staff has developed draft potential GPU edits that could accomplish this, and would further clarify design considerations for development within all TF A designated areas. Staff has prepared these edits for Council review as an option to consider at the GPU hearing in December. RECOMMENDATION: That Council direct staff to bring back the proposed edits as another GPU option to consider at the GPU hearing. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: In the pending GPU, there are four areas with in the City that are proposed for the. highest densities and intensities, and mix of land uses, given their lQcation in proximity to existing and future transit stations, and their role as major activity areas. Four such areas are designated in the GPU, and include the Eastern Urban Center in Otay Ranch, and in Northwest Chula Vista, the three "transit focus areas"(TF As) surrounding the existing trolley stations at E Street/I-5 and H Street/I-5, and the future station area around H Street and Third Ave. Because of their role as activity nodes and entryways, the proposed GPU also provides that these areas would be the most appropriate areas in which to consider the use of the tallest building fo=s, largely to emphasize the areas' importance and provide visual landmarks. This was not to say that "high-rise" buildings would be allowed by right in these areas, or that high rises would necessarily be built, but rather that any consideration of them should occur only in these areas. When the GPU was originally circulated for public co=ent in early 2005, there were substantial co=ents and concems expressed as to how and under what circumstances high-rise buildings might occur. In response to these and other cominents, staff prepared a set of edits to CV 00096 . Page 2, Item No.: Meeting Date: 11/1/05 the GPU, which included significantly expanded discussions on the topic of urban design and form, along with policies and criteria regarding the circumstances under which potential high- rise buildings could be considered in the IF As. Staff's edits also responded to public co=ents regarding protections to overall co=unity character, and the preservation of stable neighborhood areas, particularly within the older core area of downtown that the public has termed ''the village". . Prior to releasing the September 2005 proposed GPU edits, staff held discussions with the GPU Steering Committee. Among its co=ents, the Steering Committee indicated that they would prefer an option that retained the potential for high-rise buildings in the EUC, and in the two IF As at the E Street'I-5 and H Street'I-5, but not within the IF A near H StreetlThird Ave. The Steering Committee felt that, due to the proximity of the H Street!Third Ave. IFA to the village, a mid-rise designation for that particular TFA is more compatible with the co=unity charater of the surrounding area. The Steering Committee also requested that an eighth theme be added to the GPU based on the notion of "harmonizing change", where new development and redevelopment take ques from the existing land use context. . At the joint Planning commission/City Council workshop on Augnst 18, 2005, Council (among other inputs) directed staff to include the harmonizing change theme, and to release the edits as proposed by staff for public review along with the re-circulated Draft EIR. The proposed GPU edits and a re-circulated Draft Environmental Impact Report were released for public review,on September 19, 2005. . Since the time of the release, there has continued to be substantial public co=ent and discussion regarding the provisions for potential high-rise buildings within the proposed TF A at H Street and Third Ave. In response (as noted in the beginning of this report), staff was requested to prepare possible additional GPU text edits that could provide Council with an option to limit development to mid-rise within the H Street!Third Ave. TF A. Staff also prepared further GPU language and policy enhancements that could better clarify the design considerations to be applied to all TF As regarding the form and massing of larger buildings, and the interface between the TF A and surrounding areas. In response, staff has prepared further potential GPU edits beyond those released on September 19th, and which are presented in Attachment 1. These edits provide guidance and policy enhancements in the following areas (references are to Attachment 1): . Building heights within the H Street! Third Ave. IF A would be limited to mid-rise heights. (see pg. 3, policy LUT 2.3; pg. 8; pg. 9, policy LUT 49.13; pg. 10; pg. 11 and pg. 12, policy LUT 53.3) . To further ensure that new development in all the TFAs is sensitive. to surrounding neighborhoods, additional building setback, step-back and design provisions are proposed. (see pg. 1; pg.3, policy LUT 2.5; pg. 4, policy L1,JT 3.3; pg. 5, policies LUT. 4.6 and 6.3; pg. 7, policy LUT 7.6) cv 00097 ...... I") Page 3, Item No.: Meeting Date: 11/1/05 . New development within all TF As would be required to include features to soften the transition to adj acent areas. (see p g.l, 2; P g. 6, policy LUT 7.5) The above proposed provisions and policies would not be detrimental to, or inconsistent with realiz:ing a successful IF A at H StreetlThird Ave. As noted earlier, high-rise building forms are not necessary to achieve the density/intensity intended for the TF As, but are primarily intended to provide visual identification and landmarks at these key areas. Of the three TF As in the Northwest area, the two along the 1-5 corridor are most important in creating visual landmark identification along a major, regional travel route, and at the primary west= entrances to the City and the future bayfront development. The desired d=arcation at the H St!Third Ave. IFA is more internally focused to highlighting the southern entrance to the downtown Third Ave. corridor. Necessary identification for this co=unity entrance through architectural uniqueness and other el=ents could be successfully accomplished with mid-rise building forms. fiSCAL IMPACT: None. This report is primarily for information, and the nature of the potential GPU edits do not change the fundamentallai1d uses considered through the GPU's Fiscal Impact Analysis. Attachments 1.

Public review of the initial December 2004 Draft EIR emphasized that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, the Draft EIR was inadequate and needed to be revised and recirculated. As a resuJt, the City appropriately decided to revise and recirculate the EIR. Although the revised document addresses many of the concerns raised by the public during the initial comment period, many issues are not sufficiently addressed. Further revision and recirculation of the document is again warranted to disclose and analyze 'significant adverse impacts to housing. 1. Maximum Mid-Rise Development Within Transit Focus Area ("TFA"). At the October 4, 2005 City Council Meeting, :Mayor Padilla requested that staff prepare an option for the Proposed GPU to Jimit development within the TF A to mid-rise projects only. We understand that at the November 1, 2005 City Council meeting (yesterday evening), the Council reviewed the proposed revision and directed staff to include the mid-rise limit option in the proposed GPU. We believe that the TF A mid-rise option is consistent with, and covered by the DEIR because it would resuJt in reduced intensity and density of potential development in the TF A. We encourage the City Council to adopt the mid-rise option for the TFA. 2. Adverse Impacts to Housing. As you are aware, the City has not revised the Housing Element of its General Plan in several years. Although the City is currently updating the General Plan, it is improperly excluding any update of the Housing"Element. As a result, DEIR improperly relies on the outdated "expired" Housing Element, and thus fails to adequately address impacts to housing. As a local government within the planning jurisdiction of the San Diego Association of Govemments, the City missed its June 30, 2005 legislative deadline to update it Housing Element. (See; Gov. Code 965588(e)(5).)

Foley F ".ardner LLP Page 4 : FOLEY Steve Power November 2, 2005 Page 2 The California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") recently indicated in response to a Public Records Act request that not only did the City fail to update its Housing Element by the June 30, 2005 deadline, the HCD has no public record of any communication nom the City anytime during the past year concerning its Housing Element. Although the revised DEIR discloses that there are additional unmitigable, significant adverse impacts not disclosed in the initial EIR (including land use, population, visual quality, and noise impacts), the DEIR does not acknowledge the significant impact to housing. The DEIR should therefore include an analysis based upon a draft Revised Housing Element, and should be recirculated for review and comment. 3. Additional Comments Attached. Attached are additional comments prepared by expert consultants: The Planning Center and Urban Crossroads. The Planning Center is an environmental and planning finn founded 30 years ago. The Planning Center has prepared thousands of environmental documents pursuant to CEQA, including numerous EIRs for General Plans. It has successfully completed certified EIRs for General Plans for the Cities of Anaheim, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana, as well as the County of Riverside, and is currently completing General Plan Update EIRs for Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and the City of San Bernardino. The Project Manager for this review, JoAnn Hadfield, has an urban planning and civil engineering education and 22 years of environmental experience preparing CEQA compliance documents.

This effort follows our review the City's original General Plen EIR (December 2004) and includes beth a determination of whether chenges were made to adequately address our previous comments, and an assessment of the supplemental environmental information and conclusions provided in the revised document. As with our previous review, our review focuses on compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, es amended thraug h January 1, 2005.

The revised document is substantially improved and addresses many of our concerns. As. detailed in the attached comments however, it remains Inadequate and many issues remain to be addressed. Moreover, We believe that recirculation of the document is again warranted to disclose a new significant Impact. Although the revised document discloses that there ara additional unmitigatable, significant advarse Impacts not disclosed in the original EIR (inciuding land use, papulation, visual quality, and noise impacts), it daas not acknowledge a significant impact to housing.

Foley & Lardner LLP Page 7 REVIEW OF THE RECIRCULATED DRAFT EIR OVERVIEW COMMENTS The new "Population and Housing" section is cursory and does not acknowledge a significant Impact to housing. The existing conditions for this topical saction oonslsts of ona four-lIna paragraph to address both housing and population on a Cltywida basis. Tha only Information provided on housing is tha total number of units City\vide. There is no assessment of adequacy, condition, distribution or affordability of the City's housing supply. Similarly, there is no quantified or geographlcel analysis of housing units that would be displaced by the project. Although population Is acknowledged as a significant Impact, this section concludes that housing impacts are less than significant because displaced housing units can be accommodeted w~hin the General Plan area. The eblllty of the General Pian land use designations to a=mmodate additional units does not m~igate the housing that will be lost or eliminate the need for 'construction or replacement of housing elsewhere.' The dispiacement of people and housing units should both be considered undisclosed, significant adverse impacts of the proposed proiect thus requiring recirculation of the Draft EIR. The Recirculated DEIR fails to edequately evaluate or mitigate significant visual quality Impacts. A visual simulation of th" mass and scale of potential development in the Urban Core. (particularly the H.Street corridor) should be provided to disclose Impacts. The Recirculated DEIR concludes that commun~y character and visual quality impacts would be significant and relates both these impacts In part to acknowledging increases in massing, height and intensity in the Urban Core. The 'scale' of allowad development under the Preferrad Plan in the Urban Core can and should be evaluated in the EIR w~h visual simulations of potential massing and height of structures. Gensral Plan policies without specified timslines do not mitigate significant impacts for which CEOA mandates the provision of fsasible mitigation measurss. For example, the new policy (LUT #49.14 in Section 5.2 Landform/Aesthetics) says "Conduct a special study to examine the potentiel for higher lend use intens~ies and taller buildings along the H Street Transit Focus Corr'ider between Interstate 5 and Third Avenue, and which will also address compatibility issues with adjacent stable neighborhoods. The precise boundaries will be established at the time of the study, and all land use policies contained in this General Pian shall apply until modified as a result oj study findings and appropriate amendments to this Plan." Polley LUT 2.6 requires this study but notes that ".11 I.nd usa policies contained in the General Plan shall apply until modified as a result of study findings and appropriate amendments to the plan." As such, this study is meaningless and does not control building height or development. This policy cannot act as m~igation because it does not inciude a timellne requirement for preparation of this special study. CEQA mandates the implementation of feasible mitigation measures for significant impacts. The design guidelines must be prepared and implemented prior to development in the Urban Core that would result in significant impacts. Page 1 of 5 CV 00115 . L1/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. FOley & Lardner LLP Page 8 Meaningful alternatives that 'have the ability to reduce or eliminate significant Impacts' have not been evaluated In the Recirculated Draft EIR. The Preferred Plan results In 10 significant, unavoidable adverse environmental Impacts and only the Reduced Traffic Alternative eliminates any significant Impacts (and It only eliminates the significant traffic Impact). CEQA (Guidelines Section 15126.6) mandates that "An EIR shall describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which wouid feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives. An EtR need not consider every conceiveble alternative to a project. Rather it must consider a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives that will foster informed decision-making and public participation. An EiR is not required to consider alternatives which are Infeasible. The lead agency Is responslbie for selecting a range of project alternatives for e>:arnination and must publicly dlsc!ose its reasoning for selecting those alternatives. There Is no ironclad rule governing the nature or scope of the alternatives to be discussed other than the rule of reason. (Citizens of Goieta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1 g90) 52 Cal.3d 553 and Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 Cal.3d 376)." The alternatives have not been defined as meaningful iand use alternatives to attain project obJectivas and reduce environmental impacts. The Reduced Project alternative arbitrarlly seiects the least intensive scenarios by district of the scenarios evaluated in the EIR. It Is primarily a statistical alternative and is not supported by a land USe plan that can be readily compared to the Preferred Pian. Similarly, the Reduced Traffic Alternative is defined by an arbitrary and unreasonable widening of all arterials and roadways that wouid not achieve acceptable ievels of service under the Preferred Plan. The allernatlves have not been redefined and they are not meaningful or understandable. Decision- makers cannot maike informed decisions besed on the statistical analysis such as the combined land uses of the ether scenarios (e.g. Table 11-1). The alternetives have not been defined for their ability to reduce significant Impacts, The alternatives section should also review project objectives and not just refer the reader back to their location at the beginning of the document. Clear comparison of alternatives for their ability to achieve project objectives and reduce environmental impacts (particularly significant impacts) has not been provided. Without th.. ..valuation of additional project alt..rnaUves that meet CEQA requirements, City declslon-mak"rs will not hava been afforded th.. opportunity to comply with their mandate to "minimize envlronmsntal damaga and balance public objsctives." . Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15021 (a), "A. pUblic agency should not approve a project es proposed, if there are feasibla alternatives or mitigation measures that would substantially lessen any significant effects of the proposed project." Since the EIR does not provide project alternatives that eliminate any significant Impacts of the proposed project, City decision-makers do not have the required information to comply. w~h this CEQA mandate. A revised EIR Is required that provides additionai alternative that minimize environmental impacts while attaining the basic objectives of the C~y's Generel Plan Update.

With all this naw development there would be many more heavy diesel truck usage. There is no analysis of the health effects of diesel particulates on the most vulnerable segments of the pcpulatlon of Chula VISta due to the General Plan update and scenarios. Insufflalent Analysis of the Chula Vista Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plen Page 31 e, Air Quality Plans, The General Plan update and scenarios heva not been evaluated for oansistenoy with the Chula Vista Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan. Which scenario producas the greatest reduction in carbon dioxide? Would the General Plan scenarios obstruct the impiamentatlon of this plan? Quantification of carbon dioxide emitted under each scanario is necessary to evaluate which plan wo.uld be the most prefereble plan in ttie gO<;l1 of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The following Noise issues are not adequately addressed in the Recirculated Draft EIR: Insufficient Analyals on Vibration Impacts Page 339, Railway and Trolley Operetlons. Vibration from eXisting and future railway usage wes not accounted for in the analysis. The General Plan update has policies which promote the use of transit oriented transportation. As such, railway usage should be predicted to increese. However, neither vibration from current or future railway usage was analyzed, This analysis of railways is deficient until eXisting and future railway vibration as well as other sources of vibration are analyzed. I nsufflclent Analysis on Future Aircraft Operations Page 341, Aircraft Operations. Future aircraft operations were not accounted for in the noise analysis. Aviation forecasts project increases in both passenger and air freight usage. However, only current aircraft operations are analyzed. This analysis of aircraft noise is deficient until future aircraft noise is analyzed. Flawed Truck Estimate Appendix G. The basis far 1he fJeet mix percentages used in the modeling of traffic noise are incorrect. Based on the vehicle fleet presented in the EMFAC2002 model for Sen Diego County, the average percentage of heavy duty gas and diesel trucks Is 3.1% whereas the DEIR used 1 %. The EMFAC2002 modei also has a medium duty truck mix of 7,74% as opposed the DEIR's assumption thet only 2% of the fleet vehicle mix is medium duty trucks. The freeway percenteges of trucks seems low also. Please verify with Caltrsns as to the proper truck usege on highways. The presence of trucks greatly increase noise levels from traffic. The use of lower medium end heavy duty truck estimates would underestimate the noise impact. Based on these much higher truck estimates, noise leveis would be sUbstantially higher than was predioted in the DEIR. Page 3 of 5 c:v 00117 1/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. FOley &. LaraI1~.I. J...L.t"" r:-u..e.'-" ....... STATUS OF PREVIOUS COMMENTS This section reviews updates In the EIR by toploal section and also reviews our previously submitted comments to Identify which:issues have not been adequately addressed. Previous Comment: Despite potentially significant Impacts, there Is no "Population and Housing" section In the EIR. Reclrculeted Draft fiR The Housing and Population section Is cursory and does not adequately address potential impacts of the General Plan. Housing impacts would be significant. Provision of land use designations within the city to accommodate new housing does not replace the 'need to provide replecement housing elsewhere.' Moreover, the neture 'of the existing housing that would be impacted is not dlsolosed. If older, lower cost housing Is lost, newer housing will not replace this housing in kind and people will be displaced. Without further analysis both significance thresholds of housing represent significant impacts that need to be disclosed In a Recirculated EIR. Threshold 1 Correctly concludes that population Increase would be substantial. Threshold 2 The EIR acknowledges that the Generai Plan would "result In houses being temporarily displaced in the Northwest and Southwest Planning Area of the City as individual projects are completed that conform to the plan." It does not Identify the number, type, location, or condition of the units that would ultimately be removed. The analysis seems to rest on two assumptions to oonclude that the impact is not significant: 1) the timing Is considered "temporary" and 2) the planned number of units aHowed under the General Plan exoeeds the number to be removed with Implementation of the General Plan. Nalther assumption is adequate justification for a less than significant conclusion. A temporary impact does not mean it is not significant, particularly bacause temporary in General Plan timeframes (build out by 2030) could be a long time. Furthermore, the fact that the Generel Plan ellocates additional land designated for housing units does not maan thet the housing is not displaced. Housing that is eliminated will require repiacement. The Draft EIR needs to Identify the location of properties that will change from housing to an aiternate use, end Identify the condition of housing, type and affordablllty of housing. Mitigetion needs to be provided to assure thet availabie, affordeble housing is offered to displaced families. Threshold 3 The EIR aoknowledges that people will be displaced, but does not quantify this impact or Identify how the people will be accommodated in future housing. Without edditionel information and m~igetion, this is a signifioent impact that has not been eppropriately disclosed. Previous Comment: The EIR falls to provide the rationale 10r using customized Thresholds of SlgnlficancQ that may lower environmental standards for the City. Recirculated Draft fiR The LOS standard has been revised to LOS 0 for the Urban Core. Page 4 of 5 CV 00118 1/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. Foley & Laront::L' LL.t"" ru.,s....... ........ Previous Comment: Tha EIR concludes that tha General Plan Update would result In significant, unavoidable advarse Impacts to energy, transportation, air quality, and utilities (water supply). Without additional or more appropriate analysis to substantiate otherwls.., th.. EIR should also categorize Land Use and Nols.. as significant, unavoidable, adverse impacts of tho proposed project. Reclrculaled Draft EIR Significant Impacts: . Energy . Transportation - 15 non-urban segments and all but 5 freeway segments . Air Quality - RAQS inconsistency . Water Supply . Land Use - Adversely Affect Community Character . Vlsual- substantially degrade tha existing visuel charecteror quality (includes Urban Core - high risa buildings between 3"' and 4" St In mixed use transit focus area) . Noise - exposure of existing sensitive receivers to noIse . Utilities - water supply . Population - significant Approval of the General Plan Update would require City decision-makers to adopt e Statement of Overriding Considerations concluding that the benems of the proposed project override all 01 these of these significant impacts, an unprecedented level in our experience of preparing General Plan EIRs.

November 1, 2005 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER 1580 Metro Drive Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Subject: Reissued City of Chula Vista General Plan Update Transportation Study Peer Review Dear Ms. Hadfield: Urban Crossroads Inc. is please to provide this peer review of the reissued City of Chuia Vista General Plan Update Transportation Study (Kimley Horn and Associates, September, 2005). The study evaluates existing and several broad General Plan alternatives. The detailed results of our review are summarized in the remainder of this letter. A key concern of the previous review was the recommendation of a reduced LOS standard (LOS E) for a large area of the Cjty located south of the SR-54, west of the 1-805 Freeway, north of L Street and east of the 1-5 Freeway, without properly emphasizing this change and its effect upon the analysis. The new study now recommends retaining LOS D for the entire City, including this area. This is generally consistent with current City policy that allows up to two hours of LOS D during the day. There is a new sentence in paragraph 2 of page 7 the traffic study mentioning that the capacity of a roadway "is equal to its maximum LOS 0 volume." The previous transportation study failed to indicate the need for growth management program (GMP) analysis. The new study mentions that Section 19.09.030 af the City's CV 00120 1/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. Foley & Lardner LL~ }-Iag~ 1.":> Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1,2005 Page 2 Municipal Code requires that the General Plan should be consistent with other adopted programs and policies of the City of Chula Vista, inciuding the GMP. However, the discussion (page 4 of the traffic study report) suggests that it GMP analysis has not been completed because this is a long range analysis, rather than a short range analysis. This ieaves open the question of how the General Plan update can be demonstrated to comply with GMP requirements, when the requisite analysis has not been performed. There are various methods of predicting future travel speeds on an arterial roadway, including the methods of the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), which could be applied in this circumstance. The report specifically nates that the GMP ana lysis must fallow the procedures of the HCM. An a rea of key concem from the review of the original transportation study (December 2004) was the downgrading of specific facHities, specifically H Street from Broadway to Hilltop Drive. The rationale for downgrading H Street in the December 2004 study was predicated on the difficulty of acquiring right of way due to existing development patterns. The September 2005 study has not been revised in this section and H Street is still presented to be downgraded due to the difficulty of acquiring right of way. As Indicated in the review letter dated February 2005, the General Plan is a long range. planning tool and right of way could be required as part of the process of approving redevelopment of existing uses as they become outdated and subject to turnover. The new report stili does not identify a funding source or implementation mechanism far grade separating the San Diego Trolley line at E Street and H Street. The existing conditions analysis in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) indicates that H Street from the 1-5 Freeway to Broadway experiences LOS 0 operations under existing conditions and identifies this as an unacceptable operation, in accordance with the currentlv adopted standards. No m~igatlon, ather than adapting a less stringent standard, is proposed or evaluated in the traffic study report. CV 00121 1/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. Foley & LaraI1t:::r L1",..t-" r'"Gl.5V- ..L-::r: Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1,2005 Page 3 The presentation of proposed future conditions has been revised to more directly identify the proposed changes in acceptable LOS for the .urban cqre" of the City of Chula Vista. The acceptable service volumes have been revised to. show lower acceptable service volumes compared to the previous draft of the EIR. Far example, a 4 lane Gateway Street is now identified as having an acceptable (LOS D) service volume of 43,200 VPD, rather than the previous value of 48,000 vehicles per day (VPD). Similarly the acceptable service volume for a lane Urban Arterial has been reduced from 42,000 VPD to 37,800 VPD. This change correlates to proposing an acceptable standard of LOS D, rather than the previously recommended LOS E In the older version of the EI R. Although the report cites right of way limitations along H Street as the primary reason for downgrading this facility, the report also notes that H Street has been designated as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route in the South Bav Transit First - Tier One Plan, San Diego Association of Governments, 2003. The discussion of BRT (page 7) makes no mention of dedicated bus lanes and briefly describes the BRT concept as consisting of various strategies to increase vehicle speeds and enhance rider comfort, including fewer stops and assigning priority to a transit vehicle in the traffic stream (traffic signal prioritization techniques or "queue jumper" lanes). Right of way limitations and their Impact on the ability to provide queue jumper lanes should be explicitly addressed in the environmental report. The traffic report (page 14) Indicates that the travel demand forecasting used in the analysis was conservative and did not consider BRT service in the assumptions. A separate traffic model that is not described in any detail is referenced in the report as being used to quantify the benefits of BRT service. The traffic report further states that the reduction in vehicular traffic due to BRT in the H Street corridor were "nominal" (page 16), and wouid only reduce daily traffic volumes by around 500 vehicles per day. cv 00122 ll/2/2005 12:43:52 PM Zarate, Martha X. Foley ~ Lardner LLP Page 15 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1, 2005 Page 4 SUMMARY Based upon our review, it appears that the proposed change in the City of Chula Vista LOS standards is emphasized to a much greater extent than was previously the case. Although the revised analysis would still benefit from further comparisons of eXisting and future traffic volumes to better illustrate the impact of continued growth on traffic conditions in the City of Chula Vista, The analysis is much more direct in addressing the effects of the proposed changes in LOS standards and how these changes effect the findings and conclusions of the traffic section of the EIR.

Steve Power, AICP Environmental Projects Manager City of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 Re: Public Conunent on Recirculated Draft EIR for General Plan Update Dear Mr. Power: . We present this letter and attachments as a public conunent to the Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report ("DEIR"), dated September 2005, for the City of Chula Vista's ("City") General Plan Update ("GPU"). Public review of the initial December 2004 Draft EIR emphasized that p1JI"Suant to CEQA Gnidelines Section 15088.5, the Draft EIR was inadequate and needed to be revised and recirculated. As a result, the City appropriately decided to revise and recirculate the EIR. Although the revised document addresses many of the concerns raised by the public during the initial conunent period, many issues are not sufficiently addressed. Further revision and recirculation of the document is again warranted to disclose and analyze significant adverse impacts to houaing. 1. Maximum Mid-Rise Development Within Transit Focus Area ("TFA"). At the October 4, 2005 City Council Meeting, Mayor Padilla requested that staff prepare an option for the Proposed GPU to limit development within the TF A to nrid-rise projects only. We understand that at the November 1,2005 City Council meeting (yesterday evening), the Council reviewed the proposed revision and directed staff to include the mid-rise limit option in the proposed GPU. We believe that the TFA mid-rise option is consistent with, and covered by the DEIR because it would result in reduced intensity and density of potential development in the TFA. We encourage the City Council to adopt the mid-rise option for the TF A. 2. Adverse Impacts ttl Housing. As you are aware, the City has not revised the Housing Element of its General Plan in several years. Although the City is currently updating the General Plan, it is impTQperly excluding any update of the Houaing Element. As a result, DEIR inJproperly relies on the tlutdated "expired" Housing Element, and thus fails to adequately address inJpacts to housing. As a local government within the planning jurisdiction of the San Diego Association of Governments, the City missed its June 30, 2005legislatlve deadline to update it Housing Element. (See, Gov. Code ~65588(e)(5).) cv 00124 JACKSONVILLE LOS ANGELE.S MADISON MILWAUKEE NEW VORl( ORlANDO SACRAMENTO SAN D!EGO SAN DIEGO/DEL MAR SAN FMNC!SCO SILK:ON VALLEY TALLAHASSEE TAMPA TOKYO WASHINGTON, D.C, WEST PALM BEACH BOSTON BRUSSELS CHICAGO DETROIT SDCA_216613.1 : FOLEY Steve Power November 2, 2005 Page 2 The California Department of Housing and Community Development C"HCD") recently indicated in response to a Public Records Act request tbat not only did tbe City fail to update its Housing Element by tbe June 30, 2005 deadline, tbe HCD has no public record of any communication ITom tbe City anytime during tbe past year concerning its Housing Element. Although the revised DEIR discloses tbat there are additional unmitigable, significant adverse impacts not disclosed in the initial EIR (including land use, population, visual quality, and noise impacts), the DEIR does not acknowledge the significant impact to housing. The DEIR should therefore include an analysis based upon a draft Revised Housing Element, and should be recirculated for review and comment. 3. Additional Comments Attached. Attached are additional comments prepared by expert consultants: The Planning Center and Urban Crossroads. The Planning Center is an environmental and planning firm founded 30 years ago. The Planning Center has prepared thousands of environmental documents pursuant to CEQA, including numerous EIRs for General Plans. It has successfully completed certified EIRs for General Plans for the Cities of Anaheim, Rancho Cucarnonga, and Fontana, as well as the County of Riverside, and is currently completing General Plan Update EIRs for Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and the City of San Bernardino. The Project Manager for this review, JoAnn Hadfield, has an urban planning and civil engineering education and 22 years of environmental experience preparing CEQA compliance documents.

This effort follows our review the City's original General Plan EIR (December 2004) and Includes both a determination of whether changes were made to adequately address our previous comments, and an assessment of the supplemental environmental Information and conclusions provided in the revised dooument As with our previous review, our review focuses on compliance with the Calffornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, as amended through January 1,2005. Our review comments are included on the following pages. We heve organized our comments as follows: . Overview Commanlll - these comments summarize our primary concerns w~h respect to legal adequacy end issues which are still outstanding with the Recirculated DEIR. . Comments by ElR Section - this section provides an assessment of the revisions and modified conclusions of the Recirculated Draft DElR by chapter or technical section reference. This section also Identifies key comments from our previous review that heve not been addressed. An updated peer review of transportation issues by Urban Crossroads is summarized In this saotion and attaohed to this paokage. . Our review of the original Drafl EIR emphasized that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088,5, the Drafl ElR was inadequate and needed to be revised and recirculated. The revised document Is substantially Improved and addresses many of our concerns. As detailed in the attached comments however, n remains Inadequate and many issues remain to be addressed. Moreover, we believe that recirculation of the document is again warranted to dlsolose a new slgnfficant Impact. Although the revised document discloses tha1 there are additional unmitigatable, significant adverse Impacts not disclosed in the original ElR (Including land use, population, visual quality, and noise Impacts), ~ does not eoknowiedge a significant impact to housing.

Hadifleld Associate Director of Environmental Services Attachments CV 00127 REVIEW OF THE RECIRCULATED DRAFT EIR OVERVIEW COMMENTS The new "Population and Housing" section Is cursory and does not acknowledge a significant Impact to housing. The existing conditions for this topical section consists of one four-line paragraph to address both housing and population on a CItywide basis, The only Information provided on housing is the total number of units Citywide. Thera is no assessment of adequacy, condition, distribution or affordabiiity of the City's housing supply. Similarly, there is no quantified or geographloal analysis of housing unit!! that would be displaced by the project, A~hough population is acknowledged as a significant impact, this section concludes that housing impacts are less than significant because displaced housing units can be accommodated within the General Plen area. The ability of the General Plan land use designations to accommodate additional units does not mitigate the housing that will be lost or eliminate the need for 'c.onstruclion or replacement of housing elsewhere,' The displacement of people and housing units should both be considered undisclosed, significant adverse Impacts of the proposed project thus requiring recirculation of the Draft SR, The Recirculated DEIR falls to adequately evaluate or mitigate signifICant visual quality Impacts. A visual simulation of the mass and scale of potential development in the Urban Core. (particularly the H-Street corridor) should be provided to disclose Impacts. The Recirculated DEIR concludes that community character and visual quality impacts would be signlfioant and relates both these Impacts In part to acknowledging increases in massing, height and intensity in the Urban Core. The 'scale' of allowed development under the Preferred Plan in the Urban Core can and should be evaluated In the EIR with visual simulations of potential massing and he~ht of structures. . General Plan policies without specified tlmellnea do not mitigate significant Impacts for which CECA mandates the provision of feasible mitigation measures. For example, the new polley (LUT #49.14 in Section 5,2 Landform/Aesthetics) says 'Conduct a speolal study to examine the potential for higher land use intensities and taller buildings along the H Stree1 Transit Focus Corridor between ln1erstate 5 and Third Avenue, and whioh will also address compatibility Issues with adjacent stable neighborhoods. The precise boundaries will be established at the time of the study, and all land use policies contained in this General Plan shell apply until modified as a result of study findings and appropriate amendments to this Pl<ln,' Policy LUT 2.6 requires this study but notes that 'all land use pollcias contained In 1he General Plan shall apply until modified as a result cf study findings and apPrOpriata amendments to the plan.' As such, this study is meaningless and does not control building height or development .Thls policy cannot act as mitigation beoause ~ does not include a time line requirement for preparation of this special study, CEQA mandates the implementation of feesible m~igation measures for signifioant impacts, The design guidelines must be prepered and implemented prior 10 development in the Urban Cere that would result in significant Impects, Page 1 of 5 CV 00128 . MeanIngful alternatives that 'have the ability to reduce or eliminate significant Impacts' have not been evaluated in the Recirculated Draft EIR. The Preferred Plan results In 10 significant, unavoIdable adverse environmental Impacts and only the Reduced Traffic Alternative eliminates any significant impacts (and It only eliminates the slgnificsnt traffic Impact). CEQA (Guidelines Section 15126.6) mandates thet "An EIR shall describe a ranga of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives. An EIR need not consider every conceivable a~ernatlve to a project. Rather It must oonsider a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives that will foster informed decision-making and public parocipatlon. An EIA Is not required to consider alternatives which are infeasible. The lead agency is responsible for selecting a range of project alternatives for examination and must publicly disclose Its reasoning for selecting those aaernetlves. There Is no ironcled rule governing the nature or scope of the aaE!rnatives to be discussed other than the rule of reason. (Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Beard of Supervisors (1900) 52 CaI.3d 553 and Laurei Heig his ImproverMnt Association v. Regents of too University of California (1988) 47 CaI.3d 376). . The alternatives have not been defined as meaningful land use alternetives to attain projE!ct objectives and reducE! environmental impacts. ThE! Reduced Proj<!Ot alternative arbitrarily selects the least Intensive scenarios by distrlct of the scenarios evaiuated In thE! EI R. It is primarily a statistical alternative and is not support<!d by a land use plan that can be readily comparE!d to the Preferred Plan. Similarly, too Reduced Traffic Alternative is dE!fined by an arb~rary and unreasonable widening of all arterials and roadways that would not achieve accepteble levels of service under too Preferred Pian. The alternatIVes have nct been redefined and they are not meaningful or understandable. DE!olsion- makers cannot make informed decisions besed on the statistical analysis suoh as the combined land uses of the other scenarlos (e.g. Table II-I). The alternatives havE! not beE!n defined for their ability to roouos significant Impects. The altematives sE!otIon should also "",iE!w projE!ot objE!ctlves and not just refE!r the reader baok to th<!ir location at the beginning of the dooument. Clear compariiscn of altematives fer their ability to achieve projE!ct objectives end reduce environmental impaots (particularly significant impaots) has not been provided. WIthout thll llvaluation of additional proJect alternatives that meet CEQA requirements, City declslon.makers will not have been afforded the opportunity to comply with their mandate to "minimize environmental damagll and balance public objllctlves." Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15021 (a), 'A public agE!ncy should nct approve a project as proposed, IT th<!ra are fE!asible alternatives or mitigation measures that would substantially lessE!n any significant efjE!cts of the propOS<!d proJ<!ct.' Since the EiR does not providE! project altE!rnetives trat elimin<!te any s/gnifloant Impe~ of th<! proposE!d prol<!ct, City decision-make>rs do not have the required information to comply. with this CECA mandate. A revised EIA is required that provides additional attE!rnativE! thet minimize environm<!ntal impacts while ettaining thE! basic objectlvee of the City's General Plan Update. The following Air Quality IssUE!s are not adequatE!1y addressed In the Recirculated Draft EIR: Lack at Analyses on Nonattalnment Pollutants Pege 31 B. The analysis did not sufficiently evaluate the threshold of significance - expose sE!nsitive r<!C8ptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. ThE! air quality analysis negiected to demonstrate that Page 2 of 5 cv 00129 vehicle exhaust which is the iargest source of emissions in San Diego County would or wouid not axpose sensitive receptors tc substantial poilutant concentrations. A screening analysis was performed for CO, which is In a state of attsinment, but not the ozone precursors (NOx), PM10 and PM2.5 which are in a state on nonattslnment. These pollutents have severe health effects with diesal exhaust being classified as carcinogenic. The air quality analysis Is deficient for not providing a quantitative analysis of these pollutents. WIth all this new development there would be many more heavy diesel truck usage. There is no analysis of the heaith effects of diesel particulates on the most vulnerable segments of the population of Chula VISta due to the General Plan update and scenarios. Insufficient Analysis of the Chula Vista Carbon DIoxide Reduction Plan Pege 318, Air Quality Plarn. The General Plan update and scenarios heve not been evaluated for consistency with the Chula Vista Cerbon Dioxide Reduction Plan. Which scenario produces tha greatest reduction In carbon dioxide? Would the General Plan scenarios obstruct the implementation of this plan? Quantification of carbon dioxide emitted under aach scenario is necessary to evaluate which plan would be the most preferable plan in the gO<1I of reducing carbcn dioxide emissions. The !ollowlng Noise Issues are not adequately addl'Clssed in the Recirculated Draft EIR: Insufficient Analysla on Vibration Impacts Page 339, Railway and Trolley Operations. Vibration from eXisting and Mure railway usage was not accounted for in the anaiysis. The General Plan update has policias which promote the use of transit oriented transportation. As such, railway usage shouid be predicted to Increase. However, ne~her vibration from current or .future railway usage was analyzed. This anaiysis of railways is deficient until existing and future railway vibration as well as other sources of vibration are analyzed. InsufficIent AnalysIs on Future Aircraft Operations Page 34!, Aircraft Operations. Future aircraft operations were not accounted for in the noise analysis. Aviation forecasts project Increases in both passenger and air freight usage. However, only current aircraft operations are analyzed. This analysis of aircraft noise is deficient until Mure aircraft noise is analyzed. Flawed Truck Estimate Appendix G. The basis for the fleet mix percenteges used In the modeling of traffic noise are Incorrect. Based on the vehicle fleet presented in tine EMFAC2002 model for San Diego County, the average percentage of heavy duty gas and diesel trucks is 3.1 % whereas the DEIR used 1 %. The EMFAC2002 model aOO has a medium duty truck mix of 7.74% as opposed the DEIR's essumption that only 2% of tine fieet vehicle mix is medium duty trucks. The freeway percentages of trucks seems lowaiso. Please verity with Caltrans as to the proper truck usage on highways. The presence of trucks greatly Increase noise levels from traffic. The use of lower medium and heavy duty truck estimates wouid underestimate the noise impact. Based on these much higher truck estimates, noise leveis would be substantially higher than was predicted in the DEJR. Page 3 of 5 CV 00130 STATUS OF PREVIOUS COMMENTS This section reviews updetes In the EIR by topical section and also reviews our previousiy submitted comments to identify which:lssues have not been adequately addressed. Previous Comment: Despite potentially significant Impacts, there Is no "Population and Housing" section In the EIR. Recirculated Draft fIR . The Housing and Population section is cursory and does not adequately address potentlai Impacts of the General Pian. Housing impacts would be significant. Provision of iand use designations within the city to accommodate new housing does not repiace the 'need to provide replacement housing elsewhere,' Moreover, the nature 'of the existing housing that would be impacted is not disclosed. If older, lower cost housing Is lost, newer housing will not replace this housing in kind and people will be displaced. W~hout further analysis both slgnlficanoe thresholds of housing represent significant impacts that need to be disclosed In a Recirculated ElR. Threshold 1 Correctly concludes that population increase would be substantial. . Threshold 2 The ElR acknowledges that the General Plan would "resu~ In houses being temporarily displaced In the Northwest and Southwest Planning Area of the City as Individual projects are completed thet conform to the plan." It does not Identify the number, type, location, or condition of the units that would ultimately be removed. The analysis seems to rest on two assumptions to conclude that the Impact Is not significant: 1) the timing is considered 'temporary" end 2) the planned number of units allowed under the General Plan axceeds tha number to be removed with Implementation of the Genenal Plan. Ne~her assumption Is adequate Justification for a lees than significant conclusion. A temporary impact does not mean ~ Is not significant, particularly because temporary in General Plan tlmeframes (build out by 2030) could be a long time. Furthermore, the fact that the General Plan allpcates additional land designated for housing units does not mean that the housing is not displeoed. HoUsing that is eliminated will nequire replacement. The Draft ElR needs to Identify the location of properties that will change from housing to an altemate use, and identify the condition of housing, type and affordability of housing. Mitigation needs to be provided to assure thet available, affordable housing is offered to displaced families. Threshold 3 . The E1R acknowledges that people will be displaced, but does not quantiify this impact or identify how the people will be accommodated in Mure housing. Without additional information and m~lgation, this is a significant impact that has not been appropriately disclosed. Previous Comment: The EIR falls to provide the ratIonale for using customized ThfQsholds of Significance thai may lower environmental etandards ~or the City. Recirculated Draft fiR The LOS standard has been revised to LOS D for the Urban Core. Page 4 of 5 . cv 00131 Previous Comment The EIR concludos that the General Plan Updato would result In significant, unavoidable adverse Impacts to onergy, transportation, air quality, and utilities (water supply). Without additional or more appropriate analysis to substantiate otherwise, the EIR should also categorize Land Use and Noise as significant, unavoidable, adverse impacts of the proposed project. Recirculated Draft EIR Significant Impacts: . Energy . Transportation -15 non-urban segments and all but 5 freeway segments . Air Quality - RAQS inconsistency . Water Supply . Land Use - Adversely Affect Community Character . Vlsual-substantially degrade the existing visual oharacteror quality Oncludes Urban Core - high rise buildings between 3'" and 4~ St in mixed use transit foous area) . Noise - exposure of existing sens~ive receivers to noise . Utilities - water supply . Population - significant Approval 01 the General Plan Update would require City decision-makers to adopt a Statement 01 Overriding Considerations concluding that the benelits 01 the proposed project override all 01 these of these significant impacts, an unprecedented level in our experience 01 preparing General Plan EIRs. Page 5 of 5 cv 00132 November 1, 2005 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER 1580 Metro Drive Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Subject: Reissued City of Chula Vista General Plan Update Transportation Study Peer Review Dear Ms. Hadfield: Urban Crossroads Inc. is please to provide this peer review of the reissued City of Chuta Vista General Plan Update Transportation Study (Kimley Horn and Associates, September, 2005). The study evaluates existing and several broad General Plan alternatives. The detailed results of our review are summarized in the remainder of this letter. A key concern of the previous review was the recommendation of a reduced LOS standard (LOS E) for a large area of the City located south of the SR-54, west of the 1-805 Freeway, north of L Street and east of the 1-5 Freeway, without properly emphasizing this change and its effect upon the analysis. The new study now recommends retaining LOS D for the" entire City, including this area. This is generally consistent with current City policy that allows up to two hours of LOS D during the day. There is a new sentence in paragraph 2 of page 7 the traffic study mentioning that the capacity of a roadway "is equal to its maximum LOS D volume." . The previous transportation study failed to indicate the need for growth management program (GMP) analysis. The new study mentions that Section 19.09.030 of the City's . r::v 00133 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1, 2005 Page 2 Municipal Code requires that the General Plan should be consistent with other adopted programs and policies of the City of Chula Vista, Including the GMP. However, tI1e discussion (page 4 of the traffic study report) suggests that it GMP analysis has not been completed because this' is a long range anaiysis, rather than a short range analysis. This leaves open the question of how the General Plan update can be demonstrated to comply with GMP requirements, when the requisite analysis has not been perfonmed. There are various methods of predicting future travel speeds on an arterial roadway, including the methods of the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), which could be applied in this circumstance. The report specifically notes that the GMP analysis must follow the procedures of the HCM. An area of key concem from the review of the original transportation study (December 2004) was the downgrading of specific facilities, specifically H Street from Broadway to Hilltop Drive. The rationale for downgrading H Street in the December 2004 study was predicated on the diffi.culty of acquiring right of way due to existing development patterns. The September 2005 study has not been revised in thIs section and H Street is still presented to be downgraded due to the difficulty of acquiring right of way. As indicated in the review letter dated Febnuary 2005, the General Plan is a long range. planning tool and right of way could be required as part .of the process of approving redevelopment of existing uses as they becOme outdated and subject to turnover, The new report still does not identify a funding source or implementation mechanism for grade separating the San Diego Trolley line at E Street and H Street. The existing conditions analysis in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) indicates that H Street from the i-5 Freeway to Broadway experiences LOS D operations under existing conditions and identifies this as an unacceptable operation, in accordance with the currentlv adopted standards. No mitigation, other than adopting a less stringent standard, is proposed or evaluated in the traffic study report. CV 00134 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1,2005 Page 3 The presentation of proposed future conditions has been revised to more directly identify the proposed changes in acceptable LOS for the "urban core" of the City of Chula Vista. The acceptable service volumes have been revised to show lower acceptable service volumes compared to the previous draft of the ErR. For example, a 4 lane Gateway Street is now identmed as having an acceptable (LOS D) service volume of 43,200 VPD, rather than \he previous value of 48,000 vehicles per day (VPD). Similarly the acceptable service volume for a lane Urban Arterial has been reduced from 42,000 VPD to 37,800 VPD. This change correlates to proposing an acceptable standard of LOS 0, rather than the previously recommended LOS E in the older version of the EIR. Although the report cites right of way limitations along H Street as the primary reason far downgrading this facility, the report also notes that H Street has been designated as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route in the South Bav Transit First - Tier One Plan, San Diego Association of Governments, 2003. The discussion of BRT (page 7) makes no mention of dedicated bus lanes and briefly describes the BRT concept as consisting of various strategies to increase vehicle speeds and enhance rider comfort, including fewer stops and assigning priority to a transit vehicle in the traffic stream (traffic signal prioritization techniques or 'queue jumper" lanes). Right of way limitations and their Impact on the ability to provide queue jumper lanes should be explicitly addressed in the environmental report. . The traffic report (page 14) indicates that the travel demand forecasting used in the analysis was conservative and did not consider BRT service in the assumptions. A separate traffic model that is not described in any detail is referenced in the report as being used to quantify the benefits of BRT service. The traffic report further states that the reduction in vehicular traffic due to BRT in the H Street corridor were "nominal' (page 16). and would only reduce daily traffic volumes by around 500 vehicles per day. cv 00135 Ms. Joann Hadfield THE PLANNING CENTER November 1,2005 Page 4 SUMMARY Based upon our review, it appears that the proposed change in the City of Chula Vista LOS standards is emphasized to a much greater extent than was previously the case. Although the revised analysis would stm benefit from further comparisons of existing and future traffic volumes to better illustrate the impact of continued growth on traffic conditions in the City of Chula Vista, The analysis is much more direct in addressing the effects of the proposed changes in LOS standards and how these changes effect the findings and conclusions of the traffic section of the EIR.

Jerry Rindone City of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Ave. Chula Vista, Calif 91910 Re: Proposed Espanada Project Dear Mr. Rindone, My name 'is Earl Jentz. My wife Kip and I own property on Roosevelt Street, wrnch is abutted on two sides by the proposed Espanada project. We are Realtors who have spent our lives doing property management in western Chula Vista and are members of CVDBA In general, we support and favor urban core redevelopment for Chula Vista. . . We.are:however,6pposeato'the'Espiiliadapf6p6saJ~AS proposed, Espanada is too tall and too massive. As proposed, Espanada creates problems. It should be modiTIed to reduce the height and mass. If the goal is to increase density, demograprncs and tax revenue, why not expand the redevelopment areas to include substandard, rundown. streets such as the 500 and 600 block of Flower Street dr the 700 block of Colorado and Woodlawn. Flower Street is within walking distance of the "E" Street trolley station and Colorado and Woodlawn are close to the bay ITont. According to the ErR, the height and scale of the Espanada proposal will have a signiTIcant and unmitigated impact on visual quality and aesthetics. (See attachment #1 and #2). The height and scale of proj ect wi]] create additional problems such as traffic, parking, and shadowing. ,The existing traffic on Roosevelt Street, according to the ErR, is 13 05 verncleS per day. (See attachment #3). Roosevelt Street is narrow and currently parking is only a]]owed on the south side of the street. Using the EIR data; I calculated that the residential traffic generated ITom the Espanada towers and town homes would be an additional 1288 verncles a day. (See attachment #4). Dave Kaplan, the city traffic expert calculate9 the increase as 1328 verncles a day. Either way, Espanada traffic would about double the existing'Imid. - . . Also using the EIR data, I calculated the traffic generated ITom Espanada that would use the long narrow driveway between the town homes during the peak AM and PM hours of the day. (See attachment #5). During the peak AM hour there would be 106 velricles and during the peak PM hour there would be 121 velricles. Looking at it another way, there would be 2 cars a minute going by for a solid hour when people are trymg to pull in or back out oftherr. garages. . CV 00137 According to the E1R, the parking threshold is met because the project complies with existing R-3 code. The R-3 code is the minimum standard used primarily for smaller lower income level apartments, not much larger luxury condominiums. This project boasts of 24 hour security staff; 3 gilest" apartments for people visiting the owners, concierge services etc. all with parking needs not to. mention the service vehicles for cable, SDG&E, phones, furniture, appliances, maid service, bottled water, and emergency vehicles. The guest spots provided don't seem adequate for the guests, service and emergency vehicles. Roosevelt Street .is already imjJact"ed. As I understand it, the Ern. shadowing stand.ard is also met because the tlireshold criteria is whether or not another property is in shadow 100% of the time. That is a tough criteria. Although this project doesn't meet the 100% threshold, it does cast a shadow in winter that would fall on the medical building across the street at 4th and Roosevelt and would also cover most of the two apartment buildings we own on Roosevelt Street. .(See attachment #6) In conclusion:, we. feel the Espanada proposal should be modified by reducing its height to 100 feet and the total units to 116 units (l00 in the towers and the16 townhouse units on the Roosevelt driveway). This alternative would reduce the visual, traffic, parking and shadowing impacts and create a project that would be acceptable to most of the . community. Thank you for listening to our perspective. An important city official commented that he didn't understand why people were so upset about this project because the urban core plan only would allow a few tall towers. However, the public Sees the proposed ."change ITom the existing 45 ft height limit and knows that a new plan could also be changed. Another comment we hear is that the development won't pencil if the present proposal isn't approved. We seriously doubt that, but we are not experts on land value. We do feel that the developer i5 making millions and millions by getting the land rezoned without a visible benefit to the city. A 1.15 acre parcel zoned for a residential tower in San Diego recently sold for 18 million. (See attachment #7). You have the ability and responsibility to hire experts and make good decisions for the communityincIuding the existing citizens. , ' Yours truly, ~ f k:iP Earl & Kip Jentz enc . . cv 00138 ~"'-~. .,,.... , .....~~~!:"'- t" , , " "'-, ...,.. . . . ~ .~ l'I~'I~~j.I'I'iJiril~ . .

ChuIa Vista, Calif 91910 SEP 6 2005 , ------. --.. ._-~ '-.-.- _._~- " Re: Roosevelt Site Meeting Dear Mr. Rindone, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you and your aide Sandy Hodge t~day at our property on Roosevelt Street Thank you very much for taking the time to look at the site and to exchan15e points of view. . '--- -- -- It is evident both ITom our conversation today and ITom your earlier comments that you feel strongly about the need for redevelopment in Ch~la Vista. - . We feel just as strongly that redevelopment can be accomplished with mid-rise instead of high rise construction, particularly at this stage of the Chula Vista's development. Pasadena has done it. So have other cities. .Fortunately, I think both your goal and our goal could be accomplished at the same time. Unfortunately, at the current time we are not on the same path. - - . -- If I understood correctly, your primary height limitation concern is for Scripps Hospital. At this time, r" don't know very much about Scripps Hospital or their expansion plans but in general it seems to me that they would be subject to the same 20% cost premium to use steel to go higher than 7 stories. The cost premium might be even hjgher to meet hospital eartiiqUake standards. . I would think that the FAR (Flobr.AreaRatio) W9uld be the qitical number for them. It is similar to density. The last FAR that I saw for that area (UC-4) in the Urban Core Specific Plan was 2.0. Our Commuruty Cp.aracter II Alternative prepared by Michael Stepner recommended a FAR of3.0 for that area, a 50% increase in building area. You win find this information on page.21 of the wbiteCommunity Character binder we left with you on our previous ineeting. . If you doubled the height limit and kept the FAR the same, Scripps would have a thinner building with the same area that would be more expensive to build and. operate. c:v 00146 Why not adjust the FAR instead of the height? Perhaps you could speak with Planning or COII1ITIunity Development about tlus. Maybe you could adjust the FAR to 4.0, leave the height at 84 feet and everybody would be happy. ' Please reconsider the General Plan Update (GPU) Steering Conunittee Recommendation for neight control. A copy is attached. The GPU' Steering .cpmrnittee worked hard on this plan for 3 years, rejJresented.numerous interests; .and voted to approve. the attached height control with 11-0 vote with 1 abstention. Approval of this recommendatioIl would help ensure the process would move on without disruption.

If Pieri constructs his 210' highrise, it will put his apartments in a l~e shade zone for much .oftheyear. It's way too high next to the apartments on Roos~ve1t "Street. , . 2. He has two apartment buildings. One building ~gle bedroom units and the other has \~gle bedroom units. There is only one vaCancy. The rents are about $725 each month and it does provide low income housing for people, 3. Roosevelt Street is not wide enough to move the traffic that would be comin from the proposed len roJect. e'needs the Flores Project which is next to Jentz' apartment buildings. However, if Pieri doesn't own all the property, he can't propose his project. However, ifhe does get a1J the property, and Flores may have a price at which he would sell, then Pieri has the right to propose a project.

Notice is hereby given by the persons whose names appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within the City ofChula Vista for the purpose of amending the Ge~f~ ~fiB~e~~si [, building heights in most areas of the city. A statement of the reasons for the pI@'fCfs~~t:gJ(~!-~F'V:;:' contemplated in the petition is as follows: - .. Santa Barbara, Palo Alto and Pasadena: what do these thriving cities-and many ofthe world's best cities have in common? They've banned skyscrapers from their downtown areas. Yet these and many other cities retain their charm, cultural heritage and pedestrian-friendly scale and architecture while supporting an economically vibrant and growing urban center, Those responsible for planning these cities recognize that high-rise buildings often mean excessive traffic, noise, pollution and crime, High-rise buildings can destroy neighborhoods, local businesses and the sense of community that human-scale buildings provide. This initiative protects downtown Chula Vista from becoming a bedroom community of high- rise condominiums serving commuters to San Diego and other cities. The Planning Department for the City of Chula Vista has determined that mid-rise development provides the same economic benefits to the city as high-rise development ofthe same density. By limiting building heights in most of the City to seven stories or ninety (90) feet above ground, this initiative promotes development that preserves Chula Vista's community character, and is compatible with existing neighborhoods. At the same time, downtown Chula Vista can continue to grow and develop transit-focused commercial centers to serve the community. This initiative also recognizes that high-rise buildings do have a place in Chula Vista. But they must be located where transportation systems have been built to serve them, and where existing neighborhoods will not be disrupted, displaced or overburdened, Under this initiative, high-rise buildings would be permitted in the following four areas: the Bay Front Planning Area, Eastern Urban Center, and near two existing trolley stations (at the proposed mixed use transit focus areas) bordered by I-5 and Broadway, between "G" and "I" Streets and between "E" and "P" Streets, In addition, the voters could approve a high-rise development anywhere in the city, If this initiative is not adopted, the City could at any time allow high rise development in the midst of some of the oldest, most stable neighborhoods in the City. Yet, the City has no means to ensure that the traffic systems and other infrastructure needed to prevent traffic jams from increasing, and to protect these neighborhoods will be in place when needed. Chula Vista doesn't need high-rise developments that are designed to benefit a few developers, but which impose new burdens on existing residents. Approval of this initiative will protect our neighborhoods, allow strong economic development, and preserve community character. CV 00156 t~\~~ \ ' 2 CV 00157 . PETITION FOR SUBMISSION TO VOTERS OF GENERAL PLAN LIMITATIONS ON IDGH RISE DEVELOPMENT Section 1. Purpose and Findinl!s - No Hil!h Rise Development Without a Vote of the People . A. This ordinance is intended to protect all areas of Chula Vista iTom high rise buildings, except where adequate iniTastructure is planned to support it, such as in the Bay Front Planning Area, the Eastern Urban Center and the separate two areas bounded by 1-5 and Broadway between "G" and 'T' Streets and between "E" and "F" Streets. B. The Chula Vista General Plan Update Steering Committee, appointed by the City Council to advise it on the General Plan, overwhelmingly recommended limited areas where high rise development should be permitted. These areas are described in this ordinance. Contrary to those recommendations, the City Council voted to consider allowing high rise development on H Street from Third Avenue to 1-5. C. The citizens of Chula Vista recognize the importance of economic growth and development. But we demand that growth be managed in a way that preserves the character of Chula Vista and does not displace its residents and businesses. D. The City of Chula Vista's own economic analysis demonstrates that mid-rise development would bring the same economic benefits to the City, and result in the same contribution to funding city services, as high rise development of the same density would, while maintaining the character of Chula Vista's neighborhoods. E. Existing Chula Vista residential neighborhoods would be. destabilized by out of scale developments, specifically by structures exceeding seven (7) stories and 90 feet in height, due to displacement of existing businesses and residents, reductions in sunlight and radiant heating, blocked views, added traffic congestion and a reduced ability to benefit from solar energy col1ectors. These problems are al1 made worse by high rise development as opposed to mid rise development. F. Mid-rise development is sufficient to support a vital, successful transit-oriented community; high rise buildings are not needed to revitalize the area. G. High rise buildings can overwhelm historic buildings, sites of historical significance and existing neighborhoods. H. The citizens of Chula Vista must be allowed to directly participate in decisions resulting in high rise development that material1y threaten the character of the community. 3 CV 00158 Section 2. Amendment ofthe General Plan The Land Use Element of the General Plan is hereby amended to add the "Height Limitation Section" as follows: NO BUILDING ANYWHERE IN CHULA VISTA SHALL EXCEED A MAXIMUM HEIGHT STANDARD OF SEVEN (7) STORIES OR NINETY (90) FEET ABOVE AVERAGE EXISTING GkADE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER, INCLUDING GARAGES AND ROOF TOP APPURTENANCES, EXCEPT IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: (I) Bay Front Planning Area, as identified in the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan amended and adopted in 1989; and (2) Eastern Urban Center, as generally identified in the approved 1993 Otay Ranch General Development Plan, but only that portion bounded on the west by State Route 125, on the north by Birch Road, on the east by Eastlake Parkway, and on the south by Hunte Parkway or Rock Mountain Road; (3) The area bordered by 1-5 and Broadway between "G" and 'T' streets, known as the H Street trolley area; (4) The area bordered by 1-5 and Broadway between "E" and "F" streets, known as the E Street trolley area; unless and until such action is approved by a majority ofthe registered voters in the City. Nothing in this section shall be construed to increase the height pennitted under any other provision of the General Plan. This section shall not apply to amendments which are necessary to comply with state or federal law. Section 3. ImDlementation A Upon the effective date of this initiative, the provisions of this initiative shall be inserted into the General Plan as an amendment thereto, except that if the four amendments permitted by State law for any given calendar year have already been utilized for that year prior to the effective date of this initiative, this General Plan amendment shall be the first inserted into the General Plan on January 1 of the following year. Any provisions of City law inconsistent with the amendment inserted shall be unenforceable to the extent of the inconsistency, B. The Chula Vista General Plan in effect at the time of the Notice of Intent To Circulate this initiative measure is an integrated, internally consistent statement of policies for 4 r::v 00159 the City. However, the City Council is contemplating changes to the General Plan. To ensure that the Chula Vista General Plan remains a meaningful and integrated planning document, the General Plan provisions adopted by the initiative shall prevail over any conflicting revisions to the General Plan adopted between the date of circulation and the date the amendments included in this initiative measure are adopted by the voters. C. This initiative shall not affect development projects that have received final City approval prior to November 1, 2005. D. In the event that the City Council approves a change, amendment or other land use decision which must, by the terms of this initiative, be adopted by the voters of the City ofChula Vista in order to become effective, the City Council shall set the matter for public vote. E. The City Council shall set any election required by this initiative to the next available general municipal election at no cost to the proponents or, if qualified, set a special election, the costs of which shall be borne by the proponents. Section 4. Construction Nothing in this initiative shall be construed to make illegal any lawful use presently being made of any property. Nothing in this initiative shall be construed to require more than a simple majority vote for the adoption of this initiative or for the approval of any future measure required by this initiative. Nothing in this initiative shall be construed to interfere with rights to obtain density bonuses under affordable housing laws or limit rights or entitlements under affordable housing laws. Section 5. Severability The provisions of this initiative measure shall not apply to the extent they violate state or federal laws. If any word, sentence, paragraph, subparagraph, section or portion of this initiative is declared to be invalid by a court, the remaining words, sentences, paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections and portions are to remain valid and enforceable. Section 6. Amendment or ReDeal This initiative may be amended or repealed only by the voters at a City election. Section 7. Effective Date Pursuant to the State of California Municipal Elections Code section 9217, if a majority of the voters voting on a proposed ordinance vote in its favor, the ordinance shall become a valid and binding ordinance of the city. The ordinance shall be considered as adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the legislative body and shall go into effect 10 days after that date. 5 cv 00160 .

Staff is aware of the dynamic of comprehensive parking solutions to the success of urban redevelopment and revitalization, as has been experienced by a number of cities. The Pasadena information is helpful, and I will pass it along to others. We have included policy in the GPU that identifies the need to review and develop alternative parking strategies/solutions (credits, shard parking, etc.), particularly in the Urban Core. From here, the Urban Core Specific Plan would take the matter to the next level of detail via parking standards and other provisions for future parking programs. I'll follow up with Mary Ladiana in Community Development as to the ideas to-date. -----Original Message---- From: Mitch Thompson [mailto:mitchthompsonmitch@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 3:30 PM To: Bill Tripp; Bill Tripp; Gary Nordstrom; Gregory Alabado; Kevin O'Neill; Pamela Bensoussan; Patricia Aguilar; Paul Nieto; Randall Krogman; Rudy Ramirez; Russ Hall; Stephen Savel; Teresa Thomas; Terry Thomas; Duane Bazzel; Ed Batchelder; Jeff Barfield; Jim Sandoval; Mark Stephens Subject: Fwd: Pasadena revitalization Hi everyone, several days ago I was speaking to a colleague of mine and mentioned the comparision Pat had made to Pasadena.

I know the City to date has bought parking lots around 3rd, but this may need further investigation. I am not sure if we should look at parking credits at some point in time. It will come up during the term of the General Plan. It may already have been looked at by staff, but I do not recall. Please take a look.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the Advisory Committee, to the members of the Planning Commission, Council, and most especially our staff and consultant team for their diligent efforts in preparing this significant document. It is my strong personal belief that this document should be comprehensive, broad and flexible to clearly frame and accommodate guidelines for the future of our city. I am impressed and encouraged by the continuing mgh degree of co=urrity dialogue and by the countless pieces of information that I as one member of the council have received ITom various quarters within our community. There is no doubt that we all seek to make the city of Chula Vista the very best that it can be. I respectfully request consideration of the following revisions to the draft General Plan Update text, wmch I present for our discussion at the workshop of August 18. I provide this information for your use in preparation for that workshop and discussion. In general, I am supportive of the revised draft language that has been prepared and is before us for discussion. There are, however, some key areas, which I believe warrant revision. They are as follows: Transit Focused Areas And Corridors There has been much debate and discussion about the appropriate location ofmgher density and high-rise development in downtown Chula Vista. There are a variety of opinions and public opinion surveys, wmch reflect a variety of viewpoints on this matter. One thing is clear, it is an area that should be handled with diligence and is one of concern and importance to the community as a whole. I greatly respect the expression by some in our community to be careful and attentive to the impacts the high-density mgh-rise construction may have on the current character and streetscape of the city. It is important to balance guidelines on design intensity and appropriate location oftalJer Structures against their positive and negative impacts. The draft CV 00169 . General Plan Update identifies three primary areas as "transit focused" in the urban core; two around the existing E Street and H Street trolley stations, and the third around the future station on H Street near Third Avenue. The fourth area, of course, is the Eastern Urban Center in Otay Ranch. The current draft language includes all of these areas as appropriate for high-rise development with qualifying discretionary review to occur in cases of proposed high rises in these locations (Section 7.2, Objective LUT 2 draft revisions). . It is my understanding that arecent discussion of the Advisory Committee has expressed a desire to exclude the Third and H Street designation and leave only the remaining TF k. at E Street and H Street. It is also my understanding there was a recommendation for an accompanying 90-foot height limit citywide. I would like to convey some thoughts for your consideration: . The character ofH Street from Third Avenue proceeding west to the 1-5 is of primarily commercial nature with some residential mixed use. The South County Regional Center and Superior Court, medical offices, Gateway and Gateway II, four separate bank facilities, a major hospital and medical facility at Scripps, a major commercial center in the Chula Vista Center, numerous restaurants, retail businesses and professional offices are the predominant land use as we progress west to the H Street trolley. In addition, H Street appears to be an urban arterial as noted in section 5.57 of the draft and as such serves as a major entryway with the potential to support multi-modal trip making, transit .stations and pedestrian amenities. It is clear that this segment ofH Street as it progresses west could be characterized as a clear potential transition area from the Third Avenue Village to more intense commercial and mixed uses. . I strongly believe that this H Street segment should be designated a "transit focused" transit corridor due to its connection of the I-5tH Street trolley station with the proposed downtown transit loop and connecting our Bayfi"ont, 1-5, Broadway and the Third Avenue Village area. Many of the existing surrounding land uses either currently are or are potentially large scale such as the Chula Vista Center and hospital sites. I believe it appropriate in this corridor for medium to high density uses as well as mid to high-rise levels with respect to height. It should be included along with the designations at E Street/I-5 and the Eastern Urban Center as a'tiansit10cused corridor. I support and recommend that we retain the draft language that requires discretionary review of high- rise projects to require specific designs and public amenities (Section 7.2, Objective LUT 2, draft revisions). I believe that the market conditions now and many years in the future should dictate whether individual projects are mid or high-rise in these areas, and I re- emphasize that any high-rise project should meet the criteria cited. , . It should be pointed out with respect to the Chula Vista Center and current Scripps Hospital site that these are large scale prominent uses which abut this corridor and consume when taken together a significant portion of the segment. They are critical professional and commercial uses, which provide important local and regional services to the community. It has long been our desire as a community to see future options for both the Chula Vista Center and the hospital explored in the way of expansions and r::v 00170 improvements. With respect to the Chula Vista Center, General Plan Update discussions have included changed zoning for more flexible uses and possible relocation of the Center further to the west. In addition, Scripps Hospital has indicated a desire to maximize the use of their property to give them the financial ability to provide improvements and expansions to their facility such as retrofitting, adding new services and possibly providing housing for seniors. . Given the importance of these large scale facilities. and the amount of the H Street corridor which they occupy and the fact this portion of the segment rests along a current and future major transit route between the transit focused areas already identified by siaff at H Street, 1-5 and the Third and H area, I believe this is further justification that this corridor should be designated as transit focused and appropriate for higher density and mid to high-rise height levels. It is important at this general plan stage, at a minimum, that we allow for potential mid to high-rise development in this area and al10w market forces to drive and decide whether specific buildings will be mid or high-rise and at what point in time they may be feasible. In addition, these sites should be the subject of future special study for more detailed analysis on building massing, F ARs, design guidelines, as well as possible zoning changes. Again, at a minimum, I believe we should include these areas and the H Street corridor as transit focused and indicate that they are appropriate for higher density and mid to high-rise uses subject to the market conditions and subject to our discretionary review criteria for high-rise construction. It should be noted that even with this amendment and the designations ofI-5/E Street trolley, 1- 5iR Street trol1ey and the H Street corridor to Third Avenue, as transit focused., that 85 to 90% of allowable building heights within the urban core would not be high-rise development. I think this also appropriately reflects sensitivity to continuing landform character of Chula Vista's historic downtov\'Il, while allowing Chula Vista to capture the benefits of higher density high-rise development where appropriate. I believe the size of the Urban Core is sufficiently large enough to accommodate a mix of densities and building heights and forms in a way that will increase community benefits and contribute to improvements while respecting areas of the core which should remain low intensity, low scale and quaint such as a the Third Avenue Village area. I would also like to point out with respect to projects that would be approved for high-rise construction; there are significant environmental advantages to building density vertically rather than horizontally which should not be forgotten. These include less environmental impact to land use patterns, the ability to provide adequate public spaces, parks, open space and amenities and the narrowing of structures with respect to promenade and appropriate view corridors. I respectfully request the Commission and Council keep in mind the very real relationship between density and sometimes height and the ability to provide community benefits such as funding infTastructure, public spaces and amenities, and that you do not unduly restrict the ability for appropriate density and height in the appropriate locations. I believe a flat height limitation Citywide is not good land use policy. However, with these transit focused area designations the balance of the Urban Core would keep the current or potentially lower height limits which would CV 00171 seem tD make a uIlifDnn 90 fDDt height limit citywide redundant. TherefDre, I wDuld request consideration of the attached draft language to section 7.2 Urban Design and Fonn, which reflects related edits to staffs' proposals. Historic Preservation Some co=unity input has provided specific draft language with respect to historic preservatiDn, which I believe is Dfimportance and should be included. I know that stafIhas included some historic preservation language in their draft. I would request the Commission and Council consider SDme of the suggested language as follows: . Proposed New LUT 11.1 (Replacement): Establish a formalized process for historic preservatiDn b)' evaluating requirements for certified local government status as defined by the state historic preservation office. . Proposed New LUT 11.3 (Revised): Adopt historic preservatiDn ordinance that implements the goals established by the City Council in February 2000; the City Council strategic themes of2003; and the document "Evaluation of Historic Preservation in Chula Vista." . Proposed New LUT 11.4 (Revised): Conduct an obj ective and comprehensive citywide review of Chula Vista's historical assets for the purpose of establishing a list of buildings appropriate for formal historical designation. . Environmental Justice I would like to note suggested revisions provided by Environmental Health Coalition, which I believe are worthy of our support. As has been pointed out, in 2003, Environmental Justice or (EJ) was specifically added to the state guideline on general plans. Our staff has made a good effort at this language and I am supportive of proposed staff revisions to policies EE23.3 and EE7.5. Chula Vista has a remarkable environmental policy record and reputation. We shDuld take an assertive step in adopting the Regional Energy Strategy goal of satisfying 40% of the region's energy needs with renewable energy by 2030. Although a goal and not a mandate, it is a most appropriate goal. . Policy EE 23.3 be amended to read: Avoid citing industrial facilities and uses that pose a" significant hazard"to human health and safety in proximity to schools or residential dwellings. . Policy EE 7.5 be amended to read: Pursue 40% citywide electricity supply :trom clean renewable sources by 2017. It is important to remember that policies for future development protect the health Df our co=unity with respect to toxic emitters. A health risk assessment alone is never sufficient in my opinion to achieve adequate protections for our co=uruty and so I believe the staff language is not strong enough" I request discussion and consideration of the following: CV 00172 . Policy EE 6.4 be amended to read: Avoid citing new or re-powered energy generation faciliti es and other major toxic air emitters within lOOO feet of the sensitive receiver or the placement of a sensitive receiver within lOOO feet of a major toxic emitter. Finally, although not a request for consideration of a revision in the text, I believe the need will exist for the Council, Agency and CVRC in the future to examine the Chula Vista Center commercial site and the Scripps Hospital site for further detailed special study as indicated earlier. In addition, I believe it will be necessary for market studies to address the relative impact of increased urban development in the downtown core and the Eastern Urban Center in Otay Ranch and the relationship and impacts of each on the other. . .' cv 00173 JOINT WORKSHOP OF THE CITY COUNCIL .

General Plan Update doc~e~ Director OfPl~ and Buildin, . CityManage~ 4/5thsVote: Yes_ No-KJ SUBMlTTED BY: REVIEWED BY: As the Council and Commission are aware fTom previous reports, the proposed, Draft General Plan Update (GPU) document, related amendments to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (ORGDP), and the accompanying Draft Environmental Impact Report (DElR) were released for a 45-day public review on December 31, 2004. During the 45-day review period noted above, nearly 100 written and verbal comments were made regarding the Draft GPU and Draft EIR Many of these were related to western Chula Vista. Given those comments, it was determined in March that the City would pause in order to consider making changes to the GPU document, and to revise and re-circulate the Draft ErR, for another round of public review. As a result, the third workshop to review land use and transportation proposals for western Chula Vista was postponed. Staff has since prepared proposed, draft revisions to the GPU document in response to comments, and has worked with the ElR consultant to prepare a revised Draft EIR Given this, it is appropriate to have the western Chula Vista workshop, and to review the proposed General Plan Update text edits with the Planning Commission and City Council prior to their release for formal public review. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the report, provide any input and direction to staff and authorize staff to complete the edits pursuant to such direction, for release for formal public review. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission provide its input and any recommendations regarding the report, and staff s proposed text edits, to the City Council for their consideration. The GPU Steering Committee held meetings on July 14 and August 8, 2005, to review and discuss staffs proposed edits to the GPU text. They provided input and voted to forward alternative provisions regarding community character and building heights. Those are presented CV 00176 Page 2, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 presented in brief in this report, and staff will provide the Commission and Council with a further overview of those inputs and provisions at the workshop. DISCUSSION: Background Release of the GPU, ORGDP amendments and the related DEIR in December 2004, culminated approximately three years of extensive work and effort on the part of the four citizen committees, staff and several technical consultants. The efforts also included periodic briefings and presentations to the both the Commission and the Council, and several community meetings. Given the length of time, the amount of work, and the breadth of the subject matter covered in these documents, a series of three joint Planning Commission and City Council workshops were scheduled to orient the Commission and Council to the final draft documents, and provide an , overview of document contents, proposals and recommendations. The first two of those workshops covered an overview of the process and documents, and a review of land use and transportation proposals in eastern Chula Vista, and were held on February 15 and February 24,2005 respectively. As noted earlier, based on the comments received during the fIrst public review period, the City made a decision in March to pause the process in order to consider making changes to the GPU document, and to revise and re-circulate the Draft EIR, for another round of public review. As a result, the third workshop to review land use and transportation proposals for western Chula Vista was postponed. Now that staff has prepared proposed revisions to the Draft GPU, it is appropriate to have the western Chula Vista workshop, and to review the proposed General Plan Update text edits with the Planning Commission and City Council, and to receive Council direction and input. Workshop Purpose and Format Similar to the prior workshops on the overall GPU and the Eastern Area land use and transportation proposals, this workshop will afford opportunity for both bodies to rerresh themselves with the GPU document prior to recommencing formal public review, and prior to formal actions on the documents in hearings anticipated for OctoberlNovernber 2005. The focus will be on the overall land use and transportation plans for both the Southwest (SW) and Northwest (NW) Planning Areas, the associated key issues addressed by the Plan, as well as on the staff proposed edits to the I GPU document in response to prior public comments. In addition, staff will present recommendations rrom the Steering Committee in response to their review of staff's proposed edits, as well as an additional urban form option for the H Street corridor based on property owner's and other input. Focusing on western Chula Vista, this workshop will provide the Planning Commission and City Council with an overview and refresher of the input process, covering the Vision and Themes developed through the Visioneering program and citizen committees, a summary of the community's key issues and inputs, and how those are considered in both the Land Use and Transportation plans, as well as through policy in the GPU document. Consultants used in cv 00177 Page 3, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 preparation of the GPU will also be present to review key factors and influences and to answer questions . While the workshop is a public meeting, the primary purpose is for staff to update the Commission and Council and allow them to discuss the proposals, and provide any direction and input to staff as to proposed GPU text edits Following is an overview of the main components: I . Overview of Plan Inputs and Direction- staff will present an overview of co=unity input, outlining the major components of the public outreach and input process. This will highlight the resulting General Plan Themes and the relationship to how organization of the proposed General Plan was developed, how key topics align with the Themes and Council's five Strategic Initiatives, and how the Plan's major proposals align with community and committee inputs. . Preparation and Evaluation of Alternatives- staff will review the initial land use alternatives within the SW and NW, technical evaluations, and key considerations leading to preparation of the Preferred Alternative. This will also include regional factors and the strategic relationship of related, major planning programs such as SANDAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan, and the City's Economic Development Strategy. . Overview of Issues- staff will present a summary of key issues of public discussion within both the SW and NW Planning Areas, and the policy matters before the Planning Commission and City Council on such topics as co=unity character, urban design and form, protection of stable neighborhoods, and historic preservation. . Overview of Staffs Proposed GPU Text Edits- this will include a brief summary of staff s proposed edits to the GPU text in response to the above issues, and stemming from prior public co=ent. A copy of those proposed edits is presented in Attachment I. The edits are shown in a "strike/underline" fashion, and the document contains only those portions of the GPU that are proposed for change. The changes are essentially of three types; omissions and clean up, minor editorial and document connectivity, and substantive new or amended text on key topics. A summary list of which edits relate to each of the three types is also included for reference. The edits document is arranged in sequential order of the GPU document originally distributed, starting with Chapter 3 and ending with Chapter II. To the right of the section heading, you will see a page reference in parentheses, such as (page LUT-47) or (PFS-10). This refers to the actual Element page number in the large General Plan document previously distributed for public review. . Remarks bv Consultants - to highlight the influence of regional and local factors on the GPU's proposals, and to verify some of the plan's key technical foundations. This wi]] CV 00178 Page 4, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 include Mr. William Anderson of Economics Research Associates who conducted fiscal and economic evaluations, and Mr. Walter Kieser of Economics & Planning Systems, Inc., on community revitalization, growth management and urban standards. . Commission and Council Ouestions. Comments and Direction- regarding the GPU proposals and presentation. . Public Comment - an opportunity for members of the public in attendance to provide comments to the Commission and Council One of the major issues associated with the draft General Plan Update as it pertains to western Chula Vista is the subject of building height. There have been three basic alternatives raised, comprised of those of staff, the Steering Committee and the business community. . Staff's Recommendations- as presented in Attachment I, staff is proposing a new section in the Land Use and Transportation Element, Section 7.2 - Urban Design and Form, which clarifies the intents for taller (high-rise) building forms with the three TFAs in the Northwest Area, along with a new Objective LUT 2 and related policies. The policies would guide proposals for any high-rise development through a discretionary review, and subject to performance standards. These include such items as unique signature architecture, public benefits and amenities, and massing and design that reflect appropriate transitions to surrounding areas. Conformance with these provisions is also carried forward in revised policies for each of the more localized districts involving the three TF As. . Steering Committee Recommendations- as noted earlier, staffs proposed edits were presented to the GPU Steering Committee at a meeting on Julyl4, and discussed by them further on August 8. Along with various other comments on content and format, the Steering Committee voted (unanimously with one abstention), in response to proposals presented by Committee member Aguilar, to support and forward two major recommendations regarding urban form in the Northwest Area. . The first is to add an eighth "Theme" entitled "Harmonizing Change in Olde Chula Vista" to the seven General Plan Themes presented in Chapter 4 (Vision and Themes) of the GPU. The "harmonizing change" concept is borrowed fiom the City of Pasadena's General Plan, and in short, would promote preservation of the character and scale of the area, including its traditional urban design and form, and historic elements. The Committee did not vote on specific wording or content beyond that submitted by member Aguilar, but rather on adding the concept. Staff response- With regard to western Chula Vista, many of the aspects staff understands relate to "harmonizing change" are already present within the context of the proposed, preferred plan and policies, as well as the staff edits in Attachment I. In summary, these include the following: CV 00179 . Page 5, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 . Protection of Stable Neighborhoods - most of the traditional, single-family neighborhoods are outside proposed GPU areas of change, and will remain as such. For areas adjacent to proposed areas of change, polices regarding edges, transitions, and the minimization of spiIl-over effects have also been included. . Community Character- substantial additional text has been proposed by staff to define and clarify the importance of maintaining community character as revitalization and redevelopment occur. Substantial additional policy has also been provided regarding urban form to address the interfacing of new development and redevelopment with stable neighborhood areas, and to ensure that appropriate transitions and interfaces are created. Urban form provisions for the downtown Third Avenue area limit building forms to predominately low-rise (1-3 stories along street ITontages), with mid-rise stepping up and away in 4 to 7 story configurations. Proposed policies address a focus on maintaining the "viIlage" character of the area. Historic Preservation - staff's proposed edits significantly clarify and expand policies regarding the importance of historic preservation. To the extent that this body of policy is referenced through introduction of this proposed new Theme, then the addition of "harmonizing change" would be supportive of the proposed GPU as currently drafted. If the intent of the language is to limit new development to the type and scale of that which exists today, it would be in conflict with GPU proposals. . The second change is to add policy to the Land Use and Transportation Element to the effect that all buildings in the City would be limited to not more than 90 feet in height, with the exception of four locations; I-5/E Street trolley station area, I-5tH Street trolley station area, the Bayfront, and the Eastern Urban Center. With respect to the proposed GPU, the only area of inconsistency would be the taller ("high-rise") buildings within the proposed Transit Focus Area at H Street and Third Avenue. Staff response- As staff understands, the above proposal is a complementary component of the "harmonizing change" theme, whereby preservation of the character of the downtown area would be accomplished in-part by limiting building heights to not more than 90 feet (approximately 7 stories). Staff continues to support our position regarding the location and criteria ITO high- rise development as noted above (see Attachment I). cv 00180 Page 6, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 If the City Council supports including the Steering Committee's recommendations either as the preferred alternative, or as an option for consideration, staff would prepare edits/wording necessary to make these recommendations consistent with the overall GPU text. The Steering Committee's proposals would then be presented in the GPU staff report, and would be available for consideration by the Planning Commission and City CouncH during the October/November 2005 public hearings. . Option for H Street Corridor- As part of the many recent comments and inputs regarding urban form, and the potential for "high-rise" structures at the two Transit Focus Areas (TF A) on H Street, staff has become aware of the interest of some property owners and the business community regarding the potential for some "high-rise" structures along other portions of the H Street corridor between the two TF As. This would involve the areas on both sides ofH Street between Fourth Avenue and extending west of Broadway, and include such areas as Chula Vista Center and the Scripps medical complex, among others. As proposed, this would not involve any land use changes at this time, but would focus soley on creating the option for taller building forms ("high-rise") to potentially occur within this broader, activity corridor area. Should the City Council direct staff to include this option either as the preferred alternative, or as an another option for consideration, staff would prepare edits/wording necessary to make these recommendations consistent with the overall GPU text, and would include them in the GPU staff report for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council during the OctoberlNovember 2005 public hearings. Staff resuonse- Staff continues to support our position regarding the locations and criteria for high-rise development. If, however, the City Council supports the option of extending the provisions for high-rise development along the H Street corridor, staff would recommend that Council designate it a speci~l study area in conjunction with actions on the GPU, which would call for a subsequent study to evaluate land use designations/intensities, urban form considerations, and related development regulations. Any resulting land use changes and related regulations for the corridor, would be implemented by a future General Plan Amendment, and amendment to Urban Core Specific Plan. Next Steps In the event the City Council does not provide specific direction regarding the three alternatives pertaining to height, all of them will be analyzed in the GPU Draft EIR, and presented for consideration at the hearing in October/November 2005. After tonight's meeting, staff will finalize and release the revised Draft General Plan text and the accompanying Draft ElR for a 45-day public review, anticipated to commence in early September. There will be a public hearing before the Planning Commission at the end of that 45- day period (mid- October) to close public comment on the Draft ElR. Following that, the Final ,EIR will be prepared, and both the Final EIR and General Plan Update documents will be CV 00181 Page 7, Item No.: 1 Meeting Date: 8/18/05 . presented for action by the Planning Co=ission and City Council at public hearings by early November 2005. FISCAL IMPACT: None. This is primarily an informational workshop. A Fiscal Impact Analysis has been prepared for the GPU, and wi1l be brought forward as part of the public hearings for action on the GPU Attachments 1. Staff proposed draft edits to the GPU text.

What is important about this concept, and what is different than anything I can find in the existing GPU (including revisions) is the emphasis on the PACE of change. In other words, under this theme neighborhoods could and would change over time, but more slowly than under the GPU as you have proposed it would allow. Because the harmonizing change principle requires that new development respect (not replicate, Jim, respect) the character and scale of existing development, high-rise development could not be introduced adjacent to existing low-rise development, regardless of what the plan called for ultimately. But under most circumstances, mid-rise could be introduced adjacent to low-rise. The language (including revisions) in the GPU calls for compatibility with the FUTURE vision for a particular area. For example, under the GPU as currently written, high rise development could be introduced adjacent tc single story development, as long as the plan called for more high-rise development where the single story development is located. Under the harmonizing change theme, new development could not proceed unless it respected what is on the ground now in terms of scale and character. This does NOT mean that you would have to "limit new development to the type and scale that exists today" (staff report page 5). For example, you could build a 3 or 4 story building next to a one story building. But you could not build a 10 story building next to a one story building, regardless of what the plan calls for ultimately. The theory behind harmonizing change is that neighborhoods should evolve over time, not change suddenly (a la proposed Espanada). I am sorry you missed this point. I think the committee got it.

By Patricia Aguilar August 4, 2005 We see two roads ahead of us in Chula Vista. One road leads toward Oakland. Like Chula Vista, Oakland is a satellite city to a larger metropolitan center. The median age of its population is 33, exactly the same as Chula Vista. Both have roughly the same median household income (about $45,000). (All data based on the 2000 census.) Years ago Oakland took the road Chula Vista officials seem to want to take now. They went about trying to attract pretty much any development that developers wanted to build. Decades later, Oakland's new downtown is mostly a collection of modern glassy buildings that bear no relationship to Oakland's rich cultural heritage. And the world continues to view Oakland as a back-office, second fiddle to San Francisco. Pasadena took a different approach. Pasadena is also a satellite city to a major metropolitan center. The median age is 34 compared to Chula Vista's 33. It is also ethnically diverse and its median household income is virtually the same as Chula Vista's. Like both Chula Vista and Oakland, it is also linked to its metropolitan center by a rail line. But Pasadena shares something in cornman with today's Chula Vista that Oakland doesn't - charm. Instead of being a second banana, Pasadena succeeds by offering an alternative to L.A. Of course, we do not want Chula Vista to be a replica of Pasadena. However, like Pasadena, we think Chula Vista should take advantage of its charm and character to market itself as a friendlier, more human scale, more livable alternative to San Diego. . How is Pasadena's vision different from Oakland1s, and what has this to do with height limits? Like Chula Vista and Oakland, Pasadena has an aging downtown it is trying to rejuvenate (a goal that Crossroads II fully supports). But Pasadena has diligently guarded its uniqueness and independent identity. Pasadena's General Plan includes a principle called "harmonizing change." Their plan says, "The principle of harmonizing change - is of tremendous importance to Pasadena residents. Harmonizing change requires that new development and other physical alteration respect the existing character and scale of the city. Change and development must be accomplished in a fashion that enhances and blends with Pasadena's existing qualities, bath physical and social." We couldn I t have said it better. The Pasadena Central District Specific Plan has a maximum building height of 90 feet, equivalent to about seven stories. Why? Because good urban designers know that at about 90 feet a perceptual shift in one's understanding of a place's character occurs. It is no accident that Chula Vista planners set seven stories as the cutoff between mid-and high-rise. It is no accident the city's own Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 1 CV 00184 GPU states that allowing buildings over seven stories has the potential to destroy the character of our downtown. That is why the EIR provides an alternative called the "community character" alternative. This alternative permits just as much density as the city's preferred plan, but limits building heights to seven stories, and concludes that this will preserve the existing character of the community. This is the same conclusion that renowned urban designer Michael Stepner has come to in his work for the Roosevelt Street Coalition. And the good citizens of Chula Vista know this instinctively. Survey after survey, including the results of the city's own workshops, show 70 to 75 percent of Chula Vistans don't want high-rise development. They understand that intrusion of high rises will undermine the reason they chose to call Chula Vista their home - its small-town appeal. And let's not raise the bugaboo of economic viability. Pasadena has had great success with its downtown redevelopment, having attracted several large projects even with its 90-foot height limit. You see, the problem with allowing high-rise buildings is not lack of signature architecture or public amenities. The problem is that high-rise buildings will change the character of our city. Buildings rising to 210 feet in Chula Vista (the limit suggested by the Urban Core Specific Plan) violate the principle of "harmonizing change." It represents change, but not harmony. Instead of allowing our city to become a second-rate version of San Diego, let's make our city center an interesting, unique place where new development reflects the values of the community. That is our vision. Chula Vista's new plan must give our traditional urban form and character the very highest priority when considering future development - higher than tax-increment revenues, higher than "signature" architecture. The real solution is a seven-story (90 foot) height limit in western Chula vista. That is the solution that is both economically viable and preserves what it is about our city we hold dear. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Aguilar is president of Crossroads II. Letters to the editor: South edition August 4, 2005 Chula Vista welcomes public input - to a point The city of Chula Vista can be justifiably proud of its "visioneering" public participation program which was begun in 2002. It was was carefully designed to gather the opinions of Chula Vista residents so that the new General Plan Update process which was about to begin would accurately reflect the needs and desires of local residents. The first public participation event was held at Chula Vista High School. I was there, eager to participate, along with several hundred others in this important planning effort. At that event, participants were asked to respond to a number of statements concerning the future of their city. We were asked to register Qur views on such things as the rate at which the city should grow, what locations in the city are appropriate for which kinds of land uses, our attitudes toward the Downtown Third Avenue area, and dozens of other important matters. These viewpoints and opinions were the published by the city in a booklet entitled "Preliminary Issues Report - Community F!=stival & Visioneering Program - Public Input" and dated November 2002. Boy, does that booklet make fascinating reading now! Let me give you just one example. On Page 17 is the statement "There is a need to incorporate sufficient densities to support public transit." On that same page it is 2 c:v 00185 recorded that just two of the 250 persons who responded to that statement supported it as a goal to be used in the planning of our city. Fast forward to August of 2005 and take a look at Chula Vista's Core Area Specific Plan which is now now being recommended by the city staff, allegedly with the strang support of Mayor Steve Padilla. Let's take a look at the two existing trolley stations shown on that Core Area Plan (at E Street and at Palomar Street) and also at a third proposed station, which SANDAG (our regional transportation agency) says certainly will not be built for at least 18 years. What do we see? Well, I'll be darned! We see three sizable areas which are proposed for development with residential towers as tall as 210 feet. Ain't public participation great?

On roll call, there were: PRESENT: Councilrnembers: McCann, Rindone, and Mayor Padilla Planning Commissioners: Cortes, Felber, Tripp, Bensoussan, Nordstrom, Horn ABSENT: Councilrnembers: Castaneda, Davis (excused) Planning Commissioners: Chair Madrid ALSO PRESENT: 'i'CityAtf6}i!eK'fy.t~?f(!;:jty Manager Rowlands, and Assistant City Clerk Norris PUBLIC HEARING 1. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE - OVERVIEW OF WESTERN CHULA VISTA LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PROPOSALS, AND PROPOSED DRAFT EDITS TO THE DRAFT GENERAL PLAN UPDATE DOCUMENT. This was the third in a series of three General Plan Update (GPU) workshops with the Planning Commission and City Council and focused on the Land Use and Transportation proposals in western Chula Vista, including both the Southwest and Northwest Planning Areas. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information to, and allow questions and dialog among, the Commissioners and Council toward preparing them in advance of taking action on the GPU at public hearings currently anticipated for October 2005. Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held on the date and at the time specified in the notice. Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing. Commissioner Horn announced that, upon recommendation by the City Attorney, he would recuse himself from participation in the joint workshop since his current employer represents a client who owns land in the upper northwest sector of the City. Commissioner Nordstrom also announced that he would recuse himself due to a potential financial conflict of interest. Commissioners Horn and Nordstrom then left the meeting and did not return. ACTION: Commissioner Cortes moved to excuse the absence of Chair Madrid. Commissioner Tripp seconded the motion, and it carried 4-0. CV 00188 PUBLIC HEARING ( .tinued) City Attorney Moore stated that the Council and Planning Commission would be considering General Plan Updates for the Southwest and Northwest quadrants of the City. To that end, the Fair Political Practices Commission has opined that, because there are proposed land use designation modifications to property located within 500 feet of CounciImember Rindone's property, he should not participate in those portions of the discussion. Ms. Moore stated that the workshop would be formatted to discuss those portions of the General Plan Update that are not within 500 feet of CounciImember Rindone's property. Therefore, CounciImember Rindone would not have a conflict of interest and would be fully eligible to participate in the items presented. Mayor Padilla referenced the following written communications received on the dais: Letter from Todd Galarneau, Vice President of The Corky McMillin Companies, dated August 18, 2005, regarding the Chula Vista General Plan Update. Letter from Michael Green, dated August 18, 2005, regarding the enforcement of non- conforming land use for existing properties and the impacts on property owners as a result of future zoning changes. Letter from Assembly Member Juan Vargas, dated August 17,2005, expressing support for the Preferred Plan and proposed amendments ITom Mayor Padilla. Planning and Building Director Sandoval explained the workshop format. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder presented an overview of the General Plan Update. At 6:58 p.m., Commissioner Cortes stated that he had a potential conflict of interest with regard to the Southwest portion of the City, and he requested to be recused from discussions during that portion of the workshop. . At 6:59 p.m., Mayor Padilla announced a brief recess. At 7:00 p.m., Mayor Padilla reconvened the meeting with Councilmembers McCann and Rindone and Commissioners Cortes, Felber, Tripp, Bensoussan present. City Attorney Moore reported that the workshop had been formatted in such a manner that Commissioner Cortes could not recuse himself for only a portion of the discussions. To that end, Ms. Moore explained that the Planning Commission would, therefore, not have a quorum, so could not take any official action or adopt any official motions, but conld make comments for Council consideration. Commissioner Cortes left the meeting and the Planning Commission was officially adjourned. Mayor Padilla noted the following additional written correspondence received on the dais: Letter from Hans Busch, dated August 18, 2005 expressing opposition to high-rise buildings and the Espanada project; and a magazine article dated August 14,2005 referring to the lack of sunlight in Lower Manhattan as a result of tall, closely packed buildings. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder then continued with his presentation. Director Sandoval introduced the plan consultants, Walter Kieser and Jim Musbasch, Economic and Planning Systems, and William Anderson, Environmental Research Associates. Each consultant then talked about the growth management program and the dynamics of revitalization efforts for the City. Page 2 - City Coum:iI/PJanning Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 CV 00189 PUBLIC HEARING (tinued) Mayor Padilla discussed the basic framework of his proposed amendments, including adoption of staff's recommendation that the existing transit focused areas at E Street and Interstate 5, H Street trolley and Interstate 5, Third Avenue and H Street, the Eastern Urban Center, and the bayfront (in a separate process) would r=ain; that there would be language that would restrict construction over eight stories to having to meet the very strict set of criteria set forth by staff; to request that the Council amend the segment of H Street that connects the transit focused area between Third Avenue and H Street and Broadway and H Street as a transit focused corridor and place that entire area in a special study; to add historic preservation language that establishes a formalized process for historic preservation, adopt a historic preservation ordinance, and conduct a comprehensive, citywide review of all of the City's historic sites; to add environmental justice language including policies to avoid the siting of industrial facilities and uses that propose a hazard to health and safety in proximity to schools or residential dwellings; to pursue as a goal 40 percent of our citywide electricity supply from clean renewable sources by 2017; to add a policy that would avoid siting a new or re-powered power plant, generation facilities or major toxic =itters within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or receivers (i.e. human beings, particular plant and life species); add an amendment recommended by the Steering Committee to r=ove the Third A venue and H Street transit focus area and institute a citywide height limit of 90- feet, and to add the eighth theme, the "harmonizing change" !)leme. Katy Wright, representing Sweetwater Union High School District, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan Alternative, which she believed would support the district's objectives to fund future school facilities and administrative facilities on the west side. She added that the tax increment yielded from development would be instrumental in funding the modernization and new construction of schools on the west side. Jack Blakely, representing the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan, stating that the plan would enhance the community and particularly the downtown area by creating new jobs and putting "feet on the street." Lisa Moctezuma, representing the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association and Moctezuma Books, spoke on behalf of Dan Biggs, a member of the Chula Vista Downtown Business Association, who was not present at the meeting but who indicated support of the Preferred Plan, which he believed would add parks, upgrade and improve schools, and add affordable housing. He was also in support of the Mayor's proposal regarding the H Street corridor amendment. Ms. Moctezuma also spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments regarding the H Street corridor, stating that the revitalization of downtown Chula Vista would keep millions of dollars in the City and bolster community pride. She added that encompassing Third A venue and H Street as a transit focus area would enhance connectivity between eastern and western Chula Vista and that consideration should be given to constructing a Transamerica building in the City. She believed that the most exciting cityscape and signature architecture should be focused in the City's core. Dr. Richard Freeman, representing the Downtown Business Association, stated that the downtown business community needs the Preferred Plan to help jump start revitalization of the downtown area while maintaining its historic character. Judy Cave spoke in support of the Community Character Alternative, commenting that the east side of Chula Vista has been well planned with good. landscaping throughout the area, and that the west side deserves no less. She talked about the lack of charm and uniqueness of the Gateway Business Center and believed that the inclusion of a fountain, shade trees and benches would have provided a lovely oasis in a very busy area. She was opposed to high-rise buildings, she believed greater density would lead to increased traffic congestion, and automobile and noise pollution. Page 3 - City Counci]fP]anning Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 CV 00190 PUBLIC HEARIN'G (\ .tinued) Uri Felman encouraged the Council to move forward and allow the City to grow. He wholeheartedly supported the master plan amendment. . Greg Mattson, representing downtown business owners, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan Alternative and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He added that the H Street corridor is very important as a connection between eastern and western Chula Vista. Earl Jentz spoke in support of the General Plan Update Steering Committee recommendations for the Harmonizing Change element and a 90-foot height limit with four exceptions in the City. Sherrn Harmer, representing Urban Housing Partners, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He explained that the property tax benefits from redevelopment would provide funds to help improve the infrastructure of the community and help support its quality of life. He believed that it would be sensible to leave some flexibility in the plan as it relates to height. He added that reconnecting people with transit would be a wise investment for the community. Billy Cox, representing the Chula Vista Police Officers Association, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, stating that the collaborative efforts between City staff, the Planning Commission, and the community is reflective of what needs to be considered for the City and its economic and character development to ensure changes for the better. Georgie Stillman stated that it was inappropriate to allow high rise development at Third Avenue and H Street and that it would negatively impact the oJder historic and stable family neighborhoods in the area. She suggested that the transit focus center with mixed uses be moved further west on H Street. Susan Skillman, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan, which she believed represented an investment in the City's economy and community members and which would breathe new life into the downtown area. She stated that redevelopment tax dollars must, by law, go to affordable housing and for improvements to and construction of schools. In addition, redevelopment would also provide revenue for increased police and fire services. Aileen Price opposed the prospect of high-rise buildings of 15 stories, but favored mid-rise and lower buildings. She spoke in support of community character. Mitch MitchelJ, representing the San .Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, stated that redevelopment is a tool that creates opportunities for Chula Vista to playa vital role in recruitment and retention of quality companies and employees, and allows people to live and realize the great American dream. Jackie McQuade stated that building height restrictions of 40 to 90 feet should be immediately imposed citywide, including on the bayfront. She stated that Chula Vista is at a crucial fork in the road and must decide whether to enhance the quality of life by preserving the character of the west side or sell out to the powerful developers. She added that high-rises create total gridlock and obstruct City views. . Deacon Greg Smyth, representing St. Rose of Lima, urged the Council to adopt the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments, which he believed had the best interests of Chula Vista at heart. He expressed the urgent need for redevelopment on the west side to enhance job growth and generate tax revenue for required civic improvements, street repairs and infrastructure enhancements. He also spoke of the need for additional affordable housing. Deacon Smyth also spoke on behalf of Father J olm Dolan of St. Rose of Lima, who was not present at the meeting, but who indicated support of the Preferred Plan, which wouJd provide opportunities for affordable housing communities and new jobs. Page 4 - City Council/Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 cv 00191 PUBLIC HEARING (l ,inued) Peter Watry spoke about the proposed increase in density in northwest Chula Vista, a planned 40 percent increase in dwelling units in the area over the next General Plan cycle, which he believed was too much too soon. He urged the Council to instruct staff to lower the increase to 20-25 percent over the next cycle. Terry Thomas, representing the environmental community and the General Plan Update Steering Committee, spoke in favor of the community character aspect, including the harmonizing of construction development and the 90- foot height limit. Regarding environmental justice, Ms. Thomas requested that major toxic air emitters not be allowed within 1,500 feet of sensitive receptors and vice versa. With reference to East H Street, she stated that it would be a misconception to believe that transit corridors and transit centers must include high-rises. She also suggested looking at the eCO- economics of environmentally sustainable green technology. Mary Salas spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and talked about the smart mixed-use development that has occurred in San Diego's Uptown Hillcrest area. She favored seeing similar development in Chula Vista that would offer wonderful opportunities within the community. Lisa Cohen, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, expressed the Board of Director's full support of the Preferred Plan, stating that the proposed plan translates into more revenUe to provide school improvements, affordable housing, parks, and community gatherings that would be integrated into downtown. Ms. Cohen also spoke on behalf of William A. Hall, President of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, who was not present at the meeting, but who wished to express his solid support for the Preferred Plan, which he believed would not only raise millions of new tax dollars, but also help create scores of new businesses and, in turn, hundreds of new jobs, and would also serve to connect the integral part ofthe bayfront. Eli Ring opposed the plan update, stating that lower income residents would be replaced with higher income residents for the purpose of economic growth. He also opposed living in higher density housing. J on Reed, Branch Manager of Countrywide Home Loans, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He stated that a critical ingredient of successful growth is a balanced plan to integrate commerce, housing, transportation, and services, while preserving and enhancing the character of the community. He added that the proposed plan would also produce much needed revenue for police, fire, and other valuable community services. Jerome Sandoval stated that Chula Vista has a great opportunity to be a city that preserves historic neighborhoods, restores older, blighted neighborhoods, and creates vibrant new neighborhoods. He felt his students from Castle Park High School, their families, and less affluent areas were not represented by the community groups. He added that community character should not be defined by the height of buildings. He urged the Council to mOVe forward with the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. Patricia Aguilar, representing Crossroads II, spoke about the issue of "character," illustrating the differences in how the cities of Oakland and Pasadena are pursuing their downtown redevelopment. She explained that the City of Pasadena has undertaken a redevelopment approach of incorporating new elements with the old and maintaining community character, medium density residential projects of between three and seven stories, light rail, and combined underground parking and residential and commercial development. She felt that the issue of height had nothing to do with density, stating that the City can get all the density it needs and still maintain a reasonable height and character. She suggested that the Council amend the proposed plan to include the two amendments recommended by the General Plan Update Steering Committee: 1) Regarding harmonizing change, that as a new building comes in, it does not have to replicate what currently exists, but does respect the existing structures and is compatible with the traditions and character of Chula Vista; and 2) establish height limits in certain areas of the City. Page 5 - City CouncillPJanning Corronission Minutes August 18,2005 CV 00192 PUBLIC HEARlNG ( .tinued) . Laura Hunter, representing the Environmental Health Coalition, spoke about the importance of environmental justice and the safe location of sensitive receptors in the land use planning efforts, as well as job quality and affordable housing. She requested consideration of increased flexibility and location in the areas of H Street and E Street, and that, should residential be included in the mixed use, they need to be located outside of 500 feet from the freeway. She also questioned how job quality, affordable housing, construction, and energy would be addressed. She stated that the Environmental Health Coalition is in support of the Preferred Alternative Plan with the amendments noted in the Mayor's memo, as long as people are not located within 500 feet of the freeway. Allison Rolfe, representing San Diego Baykeeper, spoke in support of establishing H Street as a corridor and special study area and of the Mayor's proposed amendments. She stated that downtowns are the best place for redevelopment and growth. She added that allowing flexibility and increased intensity in downtown areas takes pressure off other areas where high intensity development is not appropriate. With regard to high-rises, she spoke in support of the General Plan's requirements for signature architecture, clear public benefits, and regulations to deal with height, massing and appropriate transitions. With reference to transitions, she requested consideration be given to ensuring that an analysis of impacts to single-family units is included. Additionally, she believed that the special study area should require that specific design guidelines related to aesthetics be established, as welI as standards for ensuring sustainability, such as consideration for lead certification requirements. In standards regarding siting, she suggested that the location of high-rises in relation to the corridor itself be approximately 300 feet and no more than 500 feet from the corridor. Kathryn Lembo, representing South Bay Community Services, expressed the importance of redevelopment in the City to create a revenue stream that would provide for affordable housing that is sustainable. Ms. Lembo supported the Preferred Plan. Bob Crane suggested that the Council consider approving a more modest General Plan at frrst, with the option to amend it should there be a demand for higher buildings at a later. time. Raul Sanchez, representing Teamsters Local 36, spoke in favor of the General Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, and he asked the Council to consider responsible development. Art Cantu, representing Teamsters Local 36, spoke in support of plans that would place density in the appropriate areas. He believed that talI buildings could be viable and good for the community, providing that they allow for public input and planning, sustainable jobs, and that they adequately address the infrastructure needs of all residents. He expressed support for the Preferred Plan with the inclusion of strong wage and hours standards, revenues and public input. Commissioner Tripp believed that the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments would offer the best opportunity for a broad policy document that would be effective for 10 to 20 years. . Dana Richardson, representing Paradise Valley Hospital and the South Bay Partnership, expressed the need to see the same amenities that are on the eastern portion of the City added to the western portion . in order to promote healthy and active lifestyles. She also supported the need for more parks, open spaces, and easy, efficient access to transportation. Ms. Richardson stated her support of the plan. Natasha Martinez spoke in support of the General Plan and agreed with Katy Wright, Sherm Harmer, and the Castle Park teacher. Page 6 - City CounciJ/PJanning Commission Minutes August 18,2005 CV 00193 PUBLIC HEARlNG (C inued) Bob McAlister conveyed his support of the Preferred Plan and the H Street corridor amendment. He was excited at the prospect of increased revenues to bring parity between east-side and west-side schools. Pandra Boyle spoke in favor of the community alternative plan, community character plan, height limits, and the removal of Fourth Avenue and H Street as a location for large buildings. Gerry Loffredo spoke in opposition to high-rises and high density. He also expressed conc= about the potential removal of trees in order to accommodate increased traffic. Dr. Peter Rullan, a business owner in the City, stated that the local business owners would like to see development occur. He suggested consideration of a footprint concept versus height, and building recesses that would create a smaller footprint. He spoke in favor of the Mayor's plan. Michell Rewerts stated that the area between E Street and H Street is full of apartment buildings, renters, and trailer parks, and she believed that this segment of the community is not being valued in the City's plan for revitalization on the west side. She urged the Council to value the very low-income residents of Chula Vista. Nick Aguilar, representing the San Diego County Board of Education, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the suggested amendments by the General Plan Steering Committee. He stated that the plan must facilitate orderly development and growth management to maximize economic development in order to have redevelopment that supports quality school facilities. He expressed the need to ensure that sites have been identified in the plan for future schools downtown. Phil Stone commented that the area is running out of land and that it was, therefore, essential for western Chula Vista to have urban development that goes up rather than out, a plan that embraces smart growth, and a plan that encourages quality builders and developers to come to Chula Vista. He spoke in support of the Preferred Plan. David Hoffman, representing Hoffman Insurance, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. He felt that mid- to high-rise development along the transit corridor would be appropriate for downtown Chula Vista and would bring economic improvements to the area, as well as vibrancy and vitality to the urban core. Germaine Johnson was opposed to high-rise buildings. Tina Medina, representing the ChuJa Vista Convention and Visitor's Bureau, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. She believed that the long-term results of the plan would enhance the quality ofJife for residents and businesses in Chula Vista and make downtown more attractive to visitors. In addition, the plan would create more revenue for local parks, new restaurants, and businesses. Susan Walter requested consideration of the Harmonizing Change and Community Character plan. She stated that incorporating the proposed H Street corridor amendment into the plan at such short notice was unfair and created mistrust in City government. Cauxto Pena offered his support of the General Plan as it stands, stating that it would prepare Chula Vista for the future.

He expressed concern about eminent domain, and he questioned each Councihnember as to their views regarding eminent domain. It was the consensus of the Council that, in accordance with current City Policy, they do not support the use of eminent domain for private residences. Mr. Pemberton talked about high-rise density zones at trolley stations, stating that the people living in the high-rises would continue to use their vehicles, while those people who would take advantage of the trolley would be driven out. Scott Vinson conveyed the need to stop making changes to the plan and to move forward. He spoke in favor of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's prQPosed amendments. Chris Boyd, CEO of Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, agreed with the Castle Park teacher, and spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. Chad Blum, representing the San Diego Labor Council, spoke in full support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, which he believed would create economic growth, support environmental justice, and bring good jobs with livable wages and benefits to Chula Vista. David Ruch spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. Johnny Simpson, representing LB.E.W. #569, was supportive of planning that would place high density development uses in appropriate places, and he felt confident that the City would work to ensure balanced communities. He urged the inclusion of the Council's energy goals in the plan and encouraged the Council to implement the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. Nicholas Segura, representing LB.E.W. #569, stated that regardless of what type of construction occurs, opportunities should be given to local citizens to work and train on job sites utilizing standard wages and benefits. He spoke in support of taller buildings along the transit corridors and stated that it was critical to integrate inrrastructure needs with housing and commercial needs. Daniel Machain spoke in support of responsible planning that would create economic growth, environmental justice, and good paying jobs with benefits. He felt that appropriate high-rise construction could bring employment and housing opportunities, and would benefit the community. Kris Hartnett, representing the San Diego County Building Trades Council, conveyed his intent to be a participant and partner to assist in supporting the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments, and to bring quality apprenticeship training and a local hire component. Peter Mabrey, representing Scripps Mercy Hospital, spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. He believed that the proposed changes for downtown would offer increased health care services for the community. . Ian Gill stated that the Preferred Plan reflects a real potential for revitalization and a remarkable restraint in respecting the scale and bulk of the single-family neighborhoods in Chula Vista that are a unique characteristic of the City. He believed that development on Third Avenue offers the potential for a wide variety of development that would not only enhance and generate activity and retail, but also provide funding for schools and affordable housing. He was opposed to height caps, which he felt legislated a uniform bulk and massing that is not in the best interest of long-range planning. Mr. Gill urged the Council to consider and promote the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments. Page 8 - City CouncillPlanning Commission Minutes August 18, 2005 cv 00195 PUBLIC HEARING (L .tinued) Mark Croshier stated that progress must occur in the City if the citizens want to continue to have the best and the highest paid fire and police personnel. He stated that redevelopment ftom Third Avenue to the bayfront would bring a better quality of life to the area. He also spoke in support of moving or refurbishing the power plant. Rudy Ramirez expressed disappointment that discussions have resulted in divided community support for either a Preferred Plan or a CommUnity Character Alternative. He stated that there are certain benefits to be gained ftom both plans. He acknowledged the necessity for increased density and high paying jobs in the community. He stated that high-rises that go too high create a disconnect with the co=unity and a change in the character of the community, which he felt needed to be preserved. Mariana Lopez spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and the Mayor's proposed amendments. She conveyed the need for flexibility with regard to high-rises and continued discussions regarding parking, health issues, and intersections. Chris Lewis, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Co=erce, stated that while there are thoughtful arguments against certain height limits set forth in the plan, there are also equally good arguments for maintaining the provision to allow for mid to high-rise in certain areas. He believed that it would be disastrous to restrict the plan by capping the height limits, stating that higher buildings would allow for more public amenities such as parks and green areas, and that there would be provisions to allow discretionary review of high-rise projects. He asked the Council to look at the future of the community and adopt the Preferred Plan and Mayor's proposed amendments. Angela Allen expressed concern about rapid development and was hopeful that the Council would consider the concerns of the older residents in the City. She questioned why high-rises were not built in EastLake during its development. Mitch Thompson, Chair of the General Plan Update Committee, spoke about the workings of the General Plan Update Steering Committee and his support for height limits. Denise Knobloch opposed high-rises over seven stories, and she expressed concern about associated parking. She talked about potential issues regarding increased traffic and expressed concern about low-income housing. With no further members of the public wishing to speak, Mayor Padilla closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bensoussan spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the Steering Committee recommendations, including the harmonizing change theme. She also spoke in support ofthe-Mayor's proposed amendments. With reference to high-rise buildings, she proposed that a criterion be added for regional significance. Commissioner Felber spoke in support of the Preferred Plan with the Mayor's proposed amendments. He felt it would be fair to study the height issue, and he cautioned against saturating the housing demand. Page 9 - City Council/Plannine: Corronission Minutes August] 8. 2005 CV 00196 PUBLIC HEARING ~ Itinued) Mayor Padilla spoke about the downtown core, which he believed was large enough and diverse enough to accommodate a variety of land uses and building architecture, and provide jobs, housing, infrastructure, park spaces and schools that would uplift the west side. He stated that he would support the Preferred Plan and expressed the need to move forward with the special study of the transit focus corridor to establish appropriate zoning, densities and height. He asked for Council support of the Preferred Plan as well as his amendments. He also stated that he could support the Harmonizing Change language, recommended by the General P1an Steering Committee, if it is well drafted and consistent, and as long as everything doesn't have to be built the same way as what's already there. He also indicated that he would not support a 90-foot height limit citywide. . Councilmember Rindone asked for clarification regarding the development of Route 627 and its potential effects on the transit focus area. Robert Leiter, Planning Director for SANDAG, responded that Route 627 is a proposed bus rapid transit route that would extend along H Street, from Interstate 5 past Interstate 805 and to Southwestern College. It was included in the adopted 2030 Regional Transportation Plan by SANDAG. He explained that SANDAG would be working closely with the City in updating the plan to ensure timely and appropriate transit service for the City. Councilmember Rindone also acknowledged and thanked David Krogh for his voluntary participation in the transportation planning meetings. He then spoke in support of the Preferred Plan and amendments for the H Street corridor, stating that the plan would provide opportunities for the west side of the City to grow and prosper. Councilmember McCann believed that the Preferred Plan would provide funding for schools, parks, roads, police, fire, and affordable housing. He stated that a study of the H Street corridor would assist in retaining hospital facilities and improving health care for the citizens. He stated that the process must continue to be a public process and must include Scripps and Chu1a Vista Shopping Center as major stakeholders in the plan. ACTION: Mayor Padilla then moved to (1) proceed with the Preferred Plan, direct staff to finalize and release the revised General Plan Update text, and authorize staff to include those edits in the EIR analysis; (2) amend and revise the GPU text to designate H Street, D:om the H StreetJI-5 trolley station easterly to the future transit station area at Third Avenue, as a Transit Focus Corridor special study area; (3) direct staff to evaluate the land use designations/intensities, height, urban design and form and related development regulations for the transit focus study area after the General Plan Update is adopted and return to Council within six months of that date with a completed study; (4) direct staff to amend the draft to include harmonizing change language that is consistent with and reflective of what the City is doing with regard to stable neighborhoods, historical preservation and maintenance of form; and (5) include al1 of the language contained in the Mayor's memorandum to the Planning Commission and the Council, as follows: Historic Preservation: LUT 11.1 (Replacement): Establish a formalized process for historic preservation by evaluating requirements for certified local government status as defined by the state historic preservation office. LUT 11.3 (Revised): Adopt historic preservation ordinance that implements the goals established by the City Council in February 2000; the City Council strategic themes of2003; and the document "Evaluation of Historic Preservation in Chula Vista."

I would not object to higher rise on the Northwest and Northeast corners of the Third Ave and E Street intersection. However, I feel strongly that allowing high-rise (4-6+ stories) on the South sides of the intersection would negatively impact the character of the Third Ave section we are trying to preserve. For example, a high-rise building on the Southwest corner could demand a large footprint that would' probably butt up against the Vogue Theatre building, one of the important historic buildings on that block. If, on the other hand, the higher-rise building (4-6 stories) would be limited to just the first parcel on the South corners, then we could possible achieve a stepped down (transitional) approach arriving at the 1-3 stories for the parcels that are adjacent to existing stnuctures.

Please know that tonight is mainly for the purpose of reviewing prior public comments with the SC, and providing an overview of the GP erratas document prepared by staff that we will distribute to the members. It would not be fair, nor would we expect the members to be able to fully discuss the document tonight. We plan to hold another meeting's) in 2 or 3 weeks to discuss their comments.

Based on how we have handled public input at prior SC meetings, r'm not objectionable to a presentation at the Chair's discretion, but would ask that it be about 10 minutes (re similar to time for a "group" presentation). Given yo'hr position on the Steering Committee, I assume that Peter or another err member would be making the presentation? We will have powerpoint available if they bring the slides on a disc or CD.

November 14,2004 " Mr. John McCann Chula Vista City Council 276 Fourth Ave. Chula Vista, Calif. 91910 Re: Proposed Espanada Project Dear Mr. McCann, My name is Earl Jentz. My wife Kip and I own property on Roosevelt Street, which is abutted on two sides by the proposed Espanada project. We are Realtors who have spent our lives doing property management in western Chula Vista and are members of CVDBA. In general, we support and favor urban core redevelopment for Chula Vista. We are, however, opposed to the Espanada proposal. As proposed, Espanada is too tall and too massive. As proposed, Espanada creates problems. It should be modified to reduce the height and mass. If the goal is to increase density, demographics and tax revenue, why not expand the redevelopment areas to include substandard, rundown streets such as the 500 and 600 block of Flower Street or the 700 block of Colorado and Woodlawn. Flower Street is within walking distance of the "En Street trolley station and Colorado and Woodlawn are close to the bay front. According to the EIR, the height and scale of the Espanada proposal will have a significant and unmitigated impact on visual quality and aesthetics. (See attachment #1 and #2). The height and scale of project will create additional problems such as traffic, parking, and shadowing. The existing traffic on Roosevelt Street, according to the EIR, is 1305 vehicles per day. (See attachment #3). Roosevelt Street is narrow and currently parking is only allowed on the south side of the street. Using the EIR data, I calculated that the residential traffic generated ITom the Espanada towers and town homes would be an additional 1288 vehicles a day. (See attachment #4). Dave Kaplan, the city traffic expert calculated the increase as 1328 vehicles a day. Either way, Espanada traffic would about double the existing load. Also using the EIR data, I calculated the traffic generated ITom Espanada that would use the long narrow driveway between the town homes during the peak AM and PM hours of the day. (See attachment #5). During the peak AM hour there would be 106 vehicles and during the peak PM hour there would be 121 vehicles. Looking at it another way, there would be about 2 cars a minute going by for a solid hour when people are trying to pull in or back out of their garages. cv 00271 According to the ErR, the parking threshold is met because the project complies with existing R-3 code. The R-3 code is the minimum standard used primarily for smaUer lower income level apartments, not much larger luxury condominiums. This project boasts of24 hour security staff, 3 guest apartments for people visiting the owners, concierge services etc. aU with parking needs not to mention the service vehicles for cable, SDG&E, phones, furniture, appliances, maid service, bottled water, and emergency vehicles. The guest spots provided don't seem adequate for the guests, service and emergency vehicles. Roosevelt Street is already impacted. As I understand it, the EIR shadowing standard is also met because the threshold criteria is whether or not another property is in shadow 100% of the time. That is a tough criteria. Although this project doesn't meet the 100% threshold, it does cast a shadow in winter that would faU on the medical building across the street at 4th and Roosevelt and would also cover most of the two apartment buildings we own on Roosevelt Street. (See attachment #6) In conclusion, we feel the Espanada proposal should be modified by reducing its height to lOa feet and the total units to 116 units (100 in the towers and thel6 townhouse units on the Roosevelt driveway). This alternative would reduce the visual, traffic, parking and shadowing impacts and create a project that would be acceptable to most of the community. Thank you for listening to our perspective. An important city official commented that he didn't understand why people were so upset about this project because the urban core plan only would aUow a few tall towers. However, the public sees the proposed change from the existing 45 ft height limit and knows that a new plan could also be changed. Another comment we hear is that the development won't pencil if the present proposal isn't approved. We seriously doubt that, but we are not experts on land value. We do feel that the developer is making millions and millions by getting the land rezoned without a visible benefit to the city. A 1.15 acre parcel zoned for a residential tower in San Diego recently sold for 18 million. (See attachment #7).

June 23, 2005 UrOEX' Ci-::S'7r Mr. Earl Jentz Balboa Realty 397-A Third Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 Subject: General Plan Update and Urban Core Specific Plan Analysis Dear Earl: Enclosed is the study that the Stepner Design Group has prepared for the Roosevelt Street Coalition and Crossroads II at your request. Your request asked us to look at the draft General Plan Update and the Urban Core Specific Plan and to offer some suggested revisions that would assist in fostering community-friendly development. In addition to working with the Roosevelt Coali- tion/Crossroads II, we have met with staff of the Community Development Depart- ment and the City Planning Department to discuss how our work would build on the solid planning foundation they have begun. This report and analysis is based on our meetings and our understanding of the direction of the two plans and their respec- tive goals to maintain and improve the quality of life in Chula Vista. The study includes our recommended changes to several GPU land use policies as well as to various development proposals in the draft UCSP. We have provided, also, a discussion of how to define community character and a paper on form-based codes. We believe defining the desired community character in the context of the existing community is essential at the beginning of any planning process and that a fonm-based code is a valuable tool to implement the proposals of the GPU and the UCSP. By putting forth these recommendations, it is our intent to strengthen the current planning process in Chula Vista by offering some recommended changes to the outstanding effort that is underway. We hope these suggestions will be of value to the city of Chula Vista, to the Roosevelt Coalition, and to Crossroads II. We are available to assist with the presentation of our findings and conclusions in any way you would find desirable. ~I r ~:L 1-4-Z( S CC);(~- ~tp2- :::':.2': Xt.;-, ~t"'-3?t, 'Ste E', 33:: Di59':.

INTRODUCTION Proposed Urban Core Specific Plan and General Plan Update Policies These suggested revisions to the Urban Core Specific Plan and the Chula Vista General Plan are respectfully submitted for consideration as an alternative approach to addressing inevitable growth and change in Western Chula Vista. The crafters of this alternative understand and appreciate that Chula Vista is an evolving, growing, and dynamic city, and the intent herein is to place Chula Vista in the most advantageous position to accommodate and encourage investment in both new development along major street corridors and investment in the retention and enhancement of the many sound and attractive residential neighborhoods within and in the vicinity of the Urban Core Specific Plan study area. The intent is to recognize that having settled and solid neighborhoods that are next door to major commercial corridors stabilizes the investment environment for all parties. These goals are meant to create balanced commercial, retail and mixed-use development along major street corridors that is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods by means of appropriate height, density, scale and land use. This reduces conflicts and provides a secure atmosphere for both property owners on major streets who seek to maximize the use of their properties and property owners in nearby neighborhoods who wish to maintain their homes and safeguard their cherished neighborhood balance and ambience. Included in this report are proposed revisions to General Plan Update policies that we believe will reinforce the policy direction of the draft General Plan Update with regard to community character. They are intended, also, to provide additional guidance to the draft Urban Core Specific Plan. A table of recommended heights and Floor Area Ratios for the Urban Core Specific Plan study areas is also included. There are limited opportunities for projects to exceed maximum heights in some areas but only if certain specific findings of significant public benefit can be made. The rationale is to allow some design flexibility and some additional height if there are sufficient public benefits due to concessions granted by the applicant. If properly executed, the result will be stability and assurances for the enchanting residential quarters of the study area and economic vitality and a revenue stream for local businesses that are spawned by additional commercial energy and an influx of new residents. The result will be a revitalization of Western Chula Vista that is of benefit to both its businesses and its residents. The following recommendations have been assembled into two categories: those that apply to General Plan Update Policies (GP) in Chapter III and those that apply to Urban Core Specific Plan (SP) in Chapter IV. . In addition, Chapter II defines community character and provides a discussion of how it might be determined. The desired community character is a critical component of any city planning process. The paper outlines a tool to utilize the community visual preference surveys and other efforts undertaken as part of the General Plan Update and the Urban Core Soecific Plan. CV 00284 Page 3 6/22/2005 . Chapter V is a discussion paper on form-based codes. The form-based code is a regulatory scheme that implements community character and the goals, objectives, and policies of city plans in ways that traditional zoning cannot. Lastly, we have included in Chapter VI a glossary that will define and clarify many of the technical terms that are typically used in the city planning process: CV 00285 Page 4 6/22/2005 II. COMMUNITY CHARACTER The fitting in of new development is, in a broad sense, a matter of scale. It requires a careful assessment of each building site in terms of the size and texture of its surroundings, and a very conscious effort to achieve balance and compatibility in the design of the new building. Good scale depends upon a height that is consistent with the total pattem of the land and the skyline, a bulk that is not overwhelming, and an overell appearance that is complementary to the building forms and other elements of the city. Scale is relative, therefore, since the height, bulk, and appearance of past developments differ among the districts of the city." (San Francisco Urban Design Plan, San Francisco Planning Department, 1971.) Citv of San Dieqo ProGress Guide and General Plan. 1979. Community character isn't easy to quantify. It is not necessarily just a function of the size and scale, style and materials of the existing neighborhood. A community's character not only defines the assemblage of bricks and mortar, but also the people who live there. It identifies who they are. There are many examples of neighborhoods that retain lock-step adherence to certain design demands and restrictions and still exhibit vitality and charm. "Community character" in and of itself is not meritorious. Certainly, some communities display distinctive "character" but it may be distinctively poor as a living environment. The goal of urban design should be "elevated" community character - a neighborhood that transcends the median and provides a complete and uplifting encounter for those who live there, work there, or visit. . Cues can be taken from Nature. Natural settings typically reveal a wide range of distinctive but complementary plants, often in a range of heights and widths but within a common envelope. Pure, unaltered landscapes frequently sustain a vast variety of life forms by supplying a multiplicity of vegetation, each serving specific and vital roles in the life cycle of the creatures they support. Perhaps most significant, nature will regenerate and become self- perpetuating if left to its own devices. Planners can learn from these observations. Superior community character is achieved when a neighborhood exhibits a complete living milieu with a complementary range of uses assembled in structures, streetscapes and plazas that have the attributes of the product of an evolutionary process with blocks that show evidence of the march of time and trends and with an assortment of buildings that exhibit more harmony than mimicry. Each building should play a slightly modified role on the streets cape but a unified role in the overall function of the neighborhood. As with nature, buildings should adhere to an overall sense of scale and balance, but be allowed to flourish within these contexts as unique expressions of themselves and, in the case of residences and businesses, display the values and personalities of their occupants. It is in this hanmony that communities of merit offer a stimulating and elevating visual and sensual experience with the aromas of ethnic fare, the sounds of cultural melodies and the visual delight of an ever-changing streets cape experience. Ideally, . community character is recognized not as a set of strict design criteria, but, rather, a more broad and open collection of goals and directives to protect, propel and enhance Page 5 CV 00286 6/2212005 differences within a unified framework. Community character cannot typically be defined as just "what's there now" because communities are dynamic entities in constant and unstoppable states of flux. A more valuable exercise is to try to define the common threads of a community, be it in its history, ethnicity, or proximity to a civic asset such as a university, a waterfront, or a downtown. It is important to detenmine the role the community plays, or seeks to play, in the larger city. Answers can be found by walking the district and experiencing how it functions and observing the personality it presents in the day, in the evening, during the week, and on weekends. There is typically a patina of activity, colored by the time of day, or day of the week. Neighborhoods are the soul of the city. We know this innately. How a city or a developer, affects where we live can have a profound effect on the fabric and collective psyche of a community. It is not surprising that residents raise concerns about changes, especially alterations that constitute a radical departure from the nonm - projects that lie clearly outside of the comfort zone. For the most part, humans are accepting of incremental change, recognizing that time does not stand still. On the other hand, they are decidedly opposed to what can be perceived as intrusions. In particular as it regards Western Chula Vista, the intent is to have settled and solid neighborhoods next door to major commercial corridors because they stabilize the investment environment for all parties. Policies consistent with achieving harmony and the enhancement of the community's character are meant to create balanced commercial, retail, and mixed-use development along major street corridors that is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods by means of appropriate height, density, scale and land use. As is so often the case, community character is a product of the essence of the community and it can be vioiated by proposals that ignore the continuum of history, that fail to recognize that Western Chula Vista should grow and change incrementally as a product of evolution, not revolution. Ideally, projects are designed as derivations of their context, incorporating valued community attributes like the retention of valued local businesses, or a tradition of porches and shade trees. Each Chula Vista neighborhood is unique, and designs for new projects should take great pains to assure that they are sensitive and respectful elements of a seamless transition of Western Chula Vista from the present into the future. The Public Process Necessary to Define a Community's Character City planning and urban design can be described as a people's use of an accumulated technological knowledge to control and adapt the environment in sustainable ways for social, economic, political, and spiritual requirement. Urban planning and design is the method learned and used by people to solve the total program of requirements for city building. The city and its character are an element of a people's spiritual and physical culture and, indeed, this is one of the highest expressions of our culture. The public process in generating a development code for guiding city building usually follows these tirne-tested public process steps: cv 00287 Page 6 6/22/2005 1) Assimilation: The accumulation of general information and information specifically related to the problem (Asking the public what is in their city). . 2) General Study: The investigation of the context, its problems and possible solutions (Understanding what is working and what is not working in their city). 3) Development: The development of one or more solutions (Ideas generated, studied and discussed in a public forum with feedback from the public on each intervention's consequence). 4) Communication: The communication to the public of chosen solutions and interventions (Open public debate and decisions made). These steps assist the public in partnering with municipalities to craft codes that shape future city building projects. The process of crafting a code respective of a city's existing context or community character should begin with the design charrette or a series of public workshops. The charrette, explained in the form-based section of this document, is a public workshop process with a series of follow up meetings with staff and stakeholders to build and maintain trust between the public and the city. The public process is imperative in crafting a comprehensive code update so as to reflect an outcome supported by the public and give predictability to developers and decision-makers. Understandably, the public process should be modified to its context. Involving the public early in the public process reflects an understanding that planning principles untested by public participation can be considered coercive and can lack the authority and credibiJity that comes with public support. CV 00288 Page 7 6/22/2005 III. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE PROPOSED POLICIES The following are proposed revisions to the draft policies in the General Plan and the suggestion of several new policies. The intent is that these proposed revisions better address the goals and objectives of the General Plan Update and provide guidance for their implementation. GP1 The following proposed General Plan Update recommendations pertain to a series of "LUT'''s from the existing draft General Plan, and in bold, suggested alternative language for each of them. LUT10.1 Develop a preservation program that brings together the objectives outlined in "An Evaluation of Historic Preservation in Chula Vista" with the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Proposed LUT 10.1 Formalize a process for historic preservation by achieving Certified Local Government status, as defined by the State Historic Preservation Office to implement the historic preservation values and goals established by the City Council in February 2000. LUT 10.2 Amend City zoning codes as necessary to implement the recommendations contained in "An Evaluation of Historic Preservation in Chula Vista" and related subsequent evaluations and studies, including the establishment of a historic preservation ordinance. Proposed LUT 10.2 Adopt a Historic Preservation Ordinance that implements the goals established by the City Council in February 2000; the City Council strategic themes of 2003; and the document "An Evaluation of Historic Preservation in Chula Vista." LUT 10.3 Conduct a comprehensive survey and establish and maintain an up-to-date inventory of historic properties. Proposed LUT 10.3 Conduct an objective and comprehensive city-wide review of Chula Vista's historical assets for the purpose of establishing a list of building appropriate for formal historical designation. After establishing a list, maintain an inventory of historical resources and update it at least every five years. LUT 10.4 Continue participation in the Mills Act and other appropriate incentive programs to encourage the preservation of cultural resources. CV 00289 Page 8 6/2212DD5 Proposed LUT 10.4 Recognize the inherent public value of historic preservation in contributing to the beauty, character, and the sense of place in Chula Vista, promote and facilitate incentive programs such as the Mills Act and other such programs. NOTE: This may be achieved through a low fee; but, recognize that "cost recovery" analysis of fees should focus not only on the accounting attributes of fees but should recognize, also, the overall public benefit of revitalized and beautified neighborhoods and that excessively high fees can stifle such efforts. LUT 10.5 Through the City's development regulations, acknowledge and recognize those areas of the City that are historic resources. Proposed LUT 10.5 Through the City's development regulations, acknowledge and recognize those areas of the city that are historic resources. Examine current and all future zoning and development codes, redevelopment regulations and building codes to be certain they accommodate and encourage preservation and restoration of historic resources. . LUT 10.6 Continue to assess and mitigate the potential impacts of private development and public facilities' and infrastructure to historic resources in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Proposed LUT 10.6 Continue to assess and discourage impacts of both public and private development on historic resources. LUT 10.7 As practicable, the City will support and encourage the rehabilitation of sound historic buildings. Proposed LUT 10.7 Promote the maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, and preservation of historical resources. Where this is undertaken it will be done in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. . NEW Proposed LUT 10.9 Require that specific plans for various districts identify all historic and cultural resources within the applicable district and that the specific plans include regulations and design requirements to preserve and protect those resources. CV 00290 Page 9 612212005 NEW Proposed 10.10 Require that specific plans for various districts include regulations and design requirements to assure that new development or redevelopment near historic properties respect the visual and historic context of the historic resources. NEW Proposed 10.11 Adopt the National Register of Historic Places criteria for designation of historic resources as well as criteria specific to local characteristics. NEW Proposed 10.12 Provide a code enforcement framework that permits improved safety and security while preserving important building features. NEW Proposed 10.13 Promote integrative and adaptive reuse of historic and cultural resources. NEW Proposed 10.14 Protect and preserve publicly owned historical resources, include the Rohr Manor House and Adobe, the Women's Clubhouse, the WPA Memorial Bowl, and Gunpowder Point. As funds become available, conduct restoration of these sites according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards of the Treatment of Historical Properties and Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings, and the State Historic Building Code. LUT 47.16 Development standards and guidelines that are prepared to guide redevelopment activities in the Downtown Third Avenue District should consider the important traditional character along Third Avenue and ensure compatibility with residential neighborhoods immediately adjacent to redevelopment sites. Proposed LUT 47.16 Recognize the inherent value of the historic character of the Downtown Third Avenue Village, plans for redevelopment of this district should build on and enhance its character. Promote the inherent value of the downtown through educational programs, brochures, design standards, zoning regulations, and building code rules, while maintaining sensitivity to adjacent neighborhoods. r::v 00291 Page 10 6/2212005 COMMUNITY CHARACTER POLICIES LUT 2.1 Preserve and reinforce the community character of existing older, well-maintained neighborhoods not designated as Focus Areas. Proposed LUT 2.1 Preserve and reinforce the traditional community character of existing older, well- maintained neighborhoods that may not have been not designated as Focus Areas; recognizing their historic and cultural value. Identify and nominate potential historic districts. LUT 2.2 Protect existing stabilized single-family neighborhoods from the encroachment of incompatible or potentially disruptive land uses and/or activities. Proposed LUT 2.2 Recognize that neighborhoods should evolve. Therefore, introduce new projects into existing neighborhoods by assessing the impacts on adjacent development. LUT 2.3 Ensure that new development is a positive addition to the City's environment and does not detract from the nature and character of appropriate nearby established development. Proposed LUT 2.3 Assure that new development and/or redevelopment represents a positive addition to the city's character and does not detract from the nature and character of appropriate nearby established development. LUT 2.4 Ensure that proposals for new construction, remodels and additions are appropriately sized and designed to be compatible with the existing neighborhood, minimizing impacts on adjacent parcels. Proposed LUT 2.4 Assure that proposals and plans for new construction, remodels and additions are appropriately sized and designed to be compatible with the existing neighborhood and minimize impacts on adjacent parcels. LUT 2.5 Allow non-residential activity in residential areas only when the character and the quality of the neighborhood can be maintained. Proposed LUT 2.5 Allow non-residential activity in residential areas only when it enhances the character and quality of the neighborhood. cv 00292 Page 11 6/2212005 LUT 2.6 Develop strategies to discourage use of neighborhood streets for regional and local cut- through traffic and protect existing neighborhoods from adverse traffic effects. Proposed LUT 2.6 Develop strategies that increase the "people scale" of our streetscapes, addressing the impact of traffic patterns and volume on communities as is appropriate to their use. Directing a.nd maximizing regional and local high-volume traffic at large, while employing buffers along pedestrian access areas and more comprehensive traffic calming measures in those areas zoned for lower density. Proposed LUT 2.6b Develop strategies to discourage use of neighborhood streets for regional and local cut-through traffic and protect neighborhood streets from adverse traffic effects. LUT 4.1 Ensure that the design review process guarantees excellence in design and that new . construction and alterations to existing buildings are compatible with the best elements of the character of the area. Proposed LUT 4.1 Assure that the design review process guarantees excellence in design and that redevelopment, new construction, and alterations to existing buildings, are compatible with the best elements of the character of the area in question. LUT 4.2 Ensure that developers consider and address project impacts upon surrounding neighborhoods during the design and development process.

Exceptions to height can only be achieved by means of a discretionary action that includes a public hearing. Applications for exceptions to the height limits will only be accepted for projects within the, UC-10, UC-12B, UC-14A, UC- 14C, UC-15, and UC-18 districts. Each application must meet all of the following Exemption Findings: EXEMPTION FINDING 1 The project does not exceed the floor area ratio limit for the site. cv 00299 Page 18 6122/2005 . EXEMPTION FiNDING 2 The project includes a significant public amenity that would otherwise not be required. A minimum of 5 percent of the total lease able floor space for the project must be devoted to these amenities. Such amenities may include: A. More than the minimum affordable housing units B. Rental space that is a minimum 25% below market rate for: 1. Business incubators that provide job training 2. Artists in residence, including studio space 3. Public uses such as public schools or libraries 4. Retention of existing desirable on-site local businesses EXEMPTION FINDING 3 The project makes a significant contribution to off-site public space in the Chula Vista Urban Core Specific Plan study area, such as street improvements, public plazas, public park improvements and other improvements that are called for in the Specific Plan. Credit will not be given for obligations that are already required of the project by other programs and district requirements such as any business improvement district fees and/or tax increment financing. . Addressing the Street In addition to the above suggestions regarding height and FAR in the Urban Core Specific Plan, the UCSP should address, in greater detail, how buildings and ground level development address the sidewalk and the street. Though the staff-generated draft references setbacks, step backs and coverage - and suggests rather good approaches - the. UCSP would benefit for more specificity regarding the interface of the building line and the right-of-way (sidewalk/street). Regulations should address the location of building openings, the number of curb openings, (perhaps suggesting alley access to minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts) and other points of vehicle and pedestrian access. Also, the intensity and location of screening for surface parking lots, access aisles, and service courts should be strengthened to assure that these common, and often necessary, elements are positioned and designed to minimize their negative impacts on the integrity and vitality of the sidewalk experience. The Following Policies should be added to the Specific Plan: SP2 Redevelopment projects within the H Street Focus Area, may only take vehicle access from H Street, or streets that intersect with H Street. Other parallel streets may be considered for restricted emergency vehicle access purposes. . Rationale: To protect the quiet security of residential enclaves that are located close to major commercial arterial streets. SP3 Designs shall be employed .on E Street, F Street, H Street, and 4th Avenue to reduce speeds throughout the study area. it is recognized that traffic engineering concerns regarding Levels of Service ("LOS") are valid, but solutions to improve LOS should not be so severe that they Page 19 CV 00300 6/22/2005 diminish the "level of Vitality" of adjacent neighborhoods and commercial districts. Measures should be built into all policy decisions regarding road improvements that take into account how road widenings and intersection changes will effect 1.) the ability of pedestrians to experience the quite enjoyment of their property and benefit from a neighborhood stroll, and 2.) the ability of neighborhood merchants to attract and retain vital business activity generated from foot traffic. Traffic calming measures on the main arterial streets like "H" and 3rd could include, but not be limited to, narrowed travel lanes, angled and/or parallel on-street parking, "Pop-outs" at intersections with tighter radii, signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings, medians,' planters, and the enforcement of lower speed limits. In some instances side streets like Roosevelt, could be capped to disallow through traffic (with break-through emergency gates, if necessary), and traffic "diverters" could be installed to weave traffic through neighborhoods and discourage non-neighborhood through traffic. Rationale: The is suggested as a more active, solution-orierlted approach to concerns about traffic within the area described and it voices a challenge to assumptions about traditional traffic solutions. CV 00301 Peg e 20 6/2212005 V. FORM-BASED CODES A Predictable Way to Building the Parcel, the Block, and the Neighborhood The Form-Based Code is used to regulate the configuration, orientation and function (built form) of new buildings per each neighborhood within a regional structure. Because they are prescriptive, stating what a community wants, rather than proscriptive, what a community doesn't want, Form-Based Codes [FBC) can achieve a more predictable physical result for developers, local residents, and decision-makers. The code defines compatible building types to specific area, and begins the design discussion at the general plan, community plan, and specific plan level. The existing uses that are currently not allowed in zoning, such as adult entertainment, would still restricted in the function aspect of a Form-Based Code. . The Community Character issues raised in Section II are addressed by the FBC via a 'context- sensitive' principled urban design approach to city building. The forms prescribed stress compatibility and 'fit' with adjacent structures that promote harmonious transitions between different designated land uses. FBC's applies appropriate building forms to reflect the neighborhood's context in order to avoid abrupt changes in scale and density between residential and non-residential oreas. Additionally, the FBC relies on a very public process to give validity to the code and predictability for the code interpreter. A key to the successful implementation of design-based codes is based on the following elements: 1. Clear and Concise 2. Style Neutral 3. Easy to Read Format 4. Streamlined Permitting IUILO-TOUNE 7\' RCWHOMES . ;;~ nit ". > ROW HOMES ~ ENTitY fOltECOUItT 9TH STREET, Looking East, From A to D Avenue lONE1D Ultimately, the implementation of design-based codes will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood as some will completely integrate the design process before the zoning ordinance review, while other jurisdictions may opt for a floating parallel code or a 'triggering' mechanism. These nuances show the flexibility of the code as it is not strictly regulated to the General Plan, Community Plan, Zoning Ordinance, or Design Guidelines. The use of form or 'design-based' codes promote a more consistent, sustainable, and compatible development for nearly any type of community. . The state of California recently endorsed form-based codes. The following language is from California Government Code Section 65302.4: "The text and diagrarns in the land use element that address the location and extent of land uses, and the zoning ordinances that implement these provisions, may also express community intentions regarding urban form and design. These expressions may differentiate neighborhoods, districts, and corridors, provide for a mixture of land uses and housing types within each, and provide specific measures for regulating Page 21 cv 00302 6/2212005 relationships between buildings, and between buildings and outdoor public areas, including streets." The above language has provided California's counties and cities the opportunity to adopt clear form-based codes to allow for mixed-use neighborhoods, villages and towns. And, urban form, as well as land use, should be used in updating general plans and revising zoning codes, For the city of National City, the stepner Design Group crafted a Specific Plan to implement a Form-Based Code for downtown National City. The code is regulated by a Thoroughfare Standard, which regulateQ the built form per street type, from Boulevard, to Retail High Street, to Commercial and Residential streets and alleys. The Form-Based Code generally consists of the following documents used in conjunction with each other: The Regulating Plan: A map precisely located the various zoning categories. which can be an existing zoning ordinance. making the FBC in conformance with an existing code and eliminating the issues of allowing for existing non-conforming uses and outlawing existing zoned uses from the FBC. The Regulating plan operates between a General or Community Plan and the existing Zoning Ordinances it can also be either a parallel code or an overlay zone.

(Currently, this document is incomplete in the Draft Specific Plan) For Staff Consideration, the Regulating Plan can be based on A) The Transect as developed by the Smart Code; B) Building Typologies; C) Places (the Specific Plan Development Zones), and OJ Corridors. Because Chula Vista has already outlined Development Zones, this should be a consideration. However, because of the work done on the corridors, we suggest that the Downtown Specific Plan should be utilized as a Corridor Regulating Plan for its Form-Based Code. Our recommendation is that a Corridor Form-Based Code should be the preferred basis as the downtown streets are currently well established. The Corridors link downtown to adjacent neighborhoods directly, and we believe regulating the streetscape will shape the downtown's character as prescribed by the com'munity. In addition, the decision to regulate the Form-Based Code by corridors is consistent with the Redevelopment Agency and City Council's direction to not over-regulating or pressuring private development. The most restrictive regulation will be opplied to the character and building typology of the street wall and streetscape. These corridors have been detailed, understood, and accepted, as well as complete and fixed. 2) Thoroughfare Standards (Streetscape Master Plan): A matrix of drawings, specifications, and dimensions that assembles, vehicular and pedestrian ways into types, specialized in both capacity and character. These specify vehicular ways, sidewalks, planters, street trees, and streetlights. The combinations range center to core. They are assigned to appropriate locations on the Regulating Plan. (These are mostly completed per UCSP Streetscape Standards) 3) Urban Standards (Building Envelopes per Development Zones 1-15): A matrix of text and diagrams that regulate those aspects of private buildings which affect the public realm. The urban standards vary according to the categories of the Regulating Plan's Thoroughfare Types (generally). These include the frontage standards, which encourage the provision of certain building types and frontage elements that infiuence social behavior (CEPTED- Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design). The urban standards define building function as the mix of uses permitted in each development zone category to various degrees, with emphasis on mixed uses wherever possible. Parking needs are correlated to the various uses. (These are mostly completed in the Draft Specific Plan and would only need refinement into a Form-Based Code Format) 4) Architectural Standards (Combining Streetscape and Urban Standards): A matrix of text that specifies, for private buildings only, the materials and configurations Page 24 CV 00305 6/2212005 permitted for walls. roofs. openings. and other elements intended to produce visual harmony among disparate buDding types. The standards relate to the vernacular building traditions of the region. thus incorporating a suitable response to climate. Civic buildings are exempt from the architectural standards. (This section is an option that would need to be created for the Draft Specific Plan's Urban Design Guidelines Section utilizing building typologies found in Downtown Chula Vista) . 5) landscape Standards (Open Space Design Framework): A list of plant species with instructions regarding their location and planting pattern. The lists are separated into those pertaining to public areas and to private lots. The planting lists are coordinated toward achieving a coherent landscaping of the urban fabric. The selection and disposition of the planning is intended to support core of downtown and to create an ecosystem compatible with the climate and hydrology of the site. (This section is completed and would only need to be formatted) Streets cape and Urban Standards in Form-Based Codes (Crafting Form for the Thoroughfare, Urban, Architecture, and landscape Sections) The system of order. through the Form-Based Code. is the implementation of individual architectural projects running parallel with urbanism. To organize these, the following standards are crucial: 1) Building Frontages, 2) Streetscape, and 3) Thoroughfare Standards. These standards contribute to the character or type of streets in a Specific Plan. Importantly, the 'frontage standards' is the one that produces 'street architecture'. Street Architecture depends upon the following in terms of building types relating directly to the determined Street/Thoroughfare Typologies: A) Function: Residential. Commercial, Utilitarian. Mixed-Use B) Disposition: Where and how buildings sit on its lot C) Configuration: Frontage. massing. roofing, articulation The Form-Based Code assures that all new buildings are harmonious with each other and within the language of the traditional architecture to the Southern California Region. The code further assures that the community adheres to a neighborhood structure having the following characteristics: . A variety of thoroughfares serve the needs of the pedestrian. the bicyclist. and automobile equitably. . . Public open spaces in the form of plazas. parks, and playgrounds provide places for informal social activity and recreation. . Building frontages in disciplined alignment to further define public spaces. How to Use the Reaulatina Code Interpretation of the standards in the Regulating Code is the responsibility of Chula Vista Community Development and Planning staff. The Illustrative Concept Map (to be renamed) will serve as a guide for staff with regard to the City's intent for land development in the Page 25 CV 00306 612212005 Downtown Specific Plan area. The images contained in the Form-Based Code are meant to demonstrate the character intended by the Downtown Specific Plan. These issues will need to be discussed as we assemble the Form-Based Code. The Regulating Plan should not be pre-empted by any previously adopted local or state codes that regulate public health and safety such as the Uniform Building, Plumbing, Electrical. or Mechanical Codes. Should any confiict arise between the provisions of this Code and the city Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the Specific Plan and Form-Based Code should be applied. The Form-Based Regulating Code should not supersede the guidelines of the Downtown Specific Plan. A project being proposed for development could use the Regulating Code in this manner: . Determine which Thoroughfare Type your lot fronts (If you have a corner lot, you must determine the primary space or street based on the hierarchy listed in concept on page 22 of this paper). . Review the Use Table (to be determined per Development Zones), and the General Provisions [Such as the Urban Design Guidelines). . Review the Urban, Architecture, and Streetscape regulations, which contain specific rules for buildings. The Value of Form-Based Codes The focus of Form-Based Codes is to permit what is desirable rather than what is forbidden. These codes are intended to stimulate in fill and rehabilitation of downtown sites as it is designed to significantly streamline the approval process for new projects by requiring applicants to get approval only from the design review board. Because of the building design detail requirements in the code, new projects are expected to be ready for design review at submittal and streamlined through the entitlement process. Redevelopment of downtown is stimulated because properties are now coded to ensure that the desired building and use is achieved, thereby increasing the potential value and opportunities. The underlying principles of Form-Based Codes have their foundation in the Downtown Specific Plan Concept Plan as it is the truly the outgrowth of a community-based process that involved the many ethnically and culturally diverse citizens of downtown Chula Vista. These community members participated in the creation of the Concept Plan through a series of public workshops last year. Importantly, the citizens have supported the draft plan through the City Council review process. Chula Vista has now entered the tantalizing early development process. The ground is ready, the economic climate is improving and new developments have already begun. The Concept Plan is based on universal and rational planning principles, such as walkability, sustainability, and mixed-uses. This is important politically as now the development process has a basis in principle thereby giving structure and a credible outcome; while principles have also been tested by public participation and cannot be seen as either coercive or lacking authority. Page 26 cv 00307 612212005 Examples of California Areas Implementing Form-Based Codes Smart Code, Pelaluma, California: Recently, the city of Petaluma, California adopted a Form-Based Code for their downtown and entitlement times have been compressed literally more than half of the previous time frame. The following testimony was printed in an article published in fhe New York Times on October 3, 2004: "A local developer, Basin street Properties, has set out to change that pattem with a project that is the largest in the city's (Petaluma, California) history. "I've built 22 projects throughout Sonoma and Napa counties, al1d they've taken up to seven years to get approval," said Basin Street's president, Matt White. 'This project is very large for a town of 56,000, yet it was approved unanimously in six months." Prior to attempting new projects in dowl1town Petaluma, Basin Street Properties had mostly been buildil1g business parks in Sonoma County's Telecom Valley. Their first attempt at urban il1fill(one building) a few years back was an obscenely expensive, time-consuming entitlement process for them, due to community infighting and outdated zoning documents. So much so, that Basin Street Properties decided to pull out of the downtown and drop their options on six other blocks of downtown properties. Once it became apparent that the Central Petaluma 'SmartCode' was going to be completed and adopted in only 9 months, and that the political battles over the vision for this project area would be over, Basin Street picked up their options again. The code was adopted in July 2003 and in just over a year Basin Street has four projects currently under construction on those seven square blocks. In our experience, assembling a Form-Based Code is first and foremost an educational and consensus building process as well as land use tool. Because people can understand how the code works and what it will result in, trust is established within a community and developers are once again welcomed to their communities. Prior to availing themselves of this tool, Petaluma had tried unsuccessfully for seven years to code their vision for this core area. Downtown Petaluma is booming now. . ,~~i:t'~f~$~~<:~;:~::.~1~~;ft~~] '~"A'~fll~~ n:~ ..j;-,;~::":':.t),~, ~~ . ,'~:. /4\: .~-.~.~ '-~~'~~~~i~~' ;" .~ ,5. _~~ "ft'::! 66 .i,,~ _ ' ":.;~::~i3~~~~~~ CV 00308 Page 27 6/2212005 National City Downtown Specific Plan: The National City Downtown Specific Plan is a Form- Based Code regulated by a concept map that delineates the varied street types that form the buildings bulk, scale, and height.

I;,'\dupn'~'" l"n'mj.,.;.~,,,1 '",ic",,! (il~ The Concept Plan, above, outlines the Boulevard, Main Street, Neighborhood Streets. and Pedestrian-Oriented streets. The blocks were then broken down into development zones to relate new buildings to these specific street types. The Boulevard held the highest residential building intensity. The Main Street held the highest retail intensity. The blocks step down in intensity to transition from high intensity building types to medium and lower intensities on neighborhood streets. The public process organizing the plan did not utilize the charrette process, but held eight (8) public workshops throughout the year it took to organize the plan for the final pUblic hearing process. A charrette would have condensed the time necessary to organize the code. The Downtown Specific Plan used graphics to convey development intention using aerial perspectives. sections, elevations, and bulk as illustrations. Below are the form illustrations and development zone (area) map. Each development zone illustrated the streets cape. and the build-to lines for each block. We chose to not organize our plan specifically by building types (configuration). but by function, and orientation. only specifying town home types where appropriate. Page 28 CV 00309 6/2212005 Other California jurisdictions that have implemented a Form-Based Code are the cities of Ventura, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Azuza, and Hercules. The Public Process The process of crafting a Form-Based Code begins with an intense public workshop process followed by community meetings with staff and stakeholders to building consensus and trust in the new principles. The public process is imperative in crafting this comprehensive code update so as to reflect the place-based opportunities outlined in Chula Vista's General Plan Update and Urban Core Specific Plan. This process can be modified and we can explain these options in greater detail. . The public 'Design Charrette' has emerged as an alternative to the project designed behind closed doors at a great expense and then presenting the final product convention. The conventional public process pits public input against the cost incurred by the developer to formulate a plan for public consideration. Charrettes are interactive and open-to-the-public design workshops that provide a framework for creating a shared vision with community involvement directed by consultants representing all key disciplines. Key benefits of utilizing the Charrette process: Trust- Charreltes promotes trust between citizens and government through meaningful public involvement and education. Vision - Charrettes fosters a shared community vision and turns opposition into support. Feasibility - Charrettes increases the likelihood of getting projects built by gaining broad support from citizens, professionals, and staff. And, it creates a better plan through diverse input and involvement Economy- Chorrettes avoids costly rework and utilizes highly productive work sessions. . In Conclusion . The Form-Based Code is place-based and allow for diversity of building types and forms to reliect a project areas neighborhood character. FBC's influence the resulting built forms derived from Specific Plans and Community Plans at the lot. block, and neighborhood scale. The intention is to 'fit' the proper building type to its context so as to build for compatibility of new development within existing neighborhoods. It is a unique template meant to be calibrated specifically for a city's geographic and climatic conditions and building traditions. The code is flexible in the sense that different streets in one neighborhood can code for compatible buildings correlated to the scale of that block. Chula Vista can use FBC's to regulate developments from Otay's villages to older town neighborhoods, and be assured the pieces created would fit together. A Form-Based Code is grounded in the principles of smart growth and the public process building on the draft GPU and UCSP will create a plan and process where the whole is immeasurably greater than the sum of its parts. cv 00310 Page 29 612212005 VI. GLOSSARY CHULA VISTA DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN This design glossary is intended to improve the understanding and visualization of the design and land use standards set by this Specific Plan for potential development and redevelopment proposa~ within Downtown' Chuta Vista. Accessible - Public spaces, building. and facilities which accommodate people wit)1 special needs or disabilities. Accessory Use - A use incidental to, and on the same lot as, a principle use, such as a detached garage apartment on a residential lot. Adaptive Use - Conversion of a building into a use other than that for which it was designed, such as changing a warehouse into gallery space or housing. Amenity - Design features, which are valued by the user; of a building or pubflc space. Examples of amenities inciude: good architecture, open space, landscaping, seating, and public art.

Average Daily Trips (ADT) - The average numbers of vehicles passing a fixed point in a 24 hour period. A conventional measurement of traffic volume. Axis - A real or imaginary straight line around which the parts of a structure or space are symmetrically or evenly arranged or composed. ' Bikeway - A facility intended to accommodate bicycie travel for recreational or commuting purposes. Bund-to-Llne - A zoning device that controls the location of buildings to create consistent streetwalls or define pUblic spaces. Unlike a setback, which establishes 0 minimum distance from a property line or street, a build-to- line establishes the maximum permitted setback or exact location of a building ta<;:ade. Build Out - The maximum allowable area as stipulated by land use controls like zoning or a building cap. Bulk - (see mass) Charrette - A French term used to describe an intensive, collaborative design exercise that generates ideas for a project or plan. Circulation - Movement patterns of pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Collaboration - A team effort with contribution from professionals in different fie 1m, such as architects, landscape architects, engineers, artists and other interested parties. Colonnade - A linked row of columns providing shade and protected passage. Compatibiiity - The characteristic of different designs that allow them to be iocated near each other in harmony, such as scale, height, materials, fenestration, etc. Cornice - The top of a wall or building element made evident by an assembly of projecting moldings which strike a definitive limit to that section of the building. Density - A measurement of the number of units, e.g. housing or persons per acre, which may indicate the !evel of activity in an area [see illustration in Section III). cv 00311 Page 30 6/22/2005 Design Guidelines - A tool that defines appropriate architecturol and urban design responses in specific areas of a city. Design guidelines have been used as the basis for the review of development proposals in historic areas. special districts. and planned unit development. Directional Emphasis - Refers to a predominant emphasis of the building. either horizontal or vertical. Recognizjng this aspect of design is especially important when designing additions to historic buildings ar when planning a new development in a historic district.

Hard edges create a break between areas. Freeways and busy thoroughfares are generally disruptive hard edges. which create a physical or psychological barrier. Soft edges create a subtle break or transition between areas or uses and. unlike hard edges. are not particularly difficult to cross. For instance. a plaza. park or a non-offensive change in land use is considered a soft edge. Elevation - A two-dimensional drawing that illustrates the vertical piane of an object or building. A drawing of a building's fa<;:ade is an elevation. (see architectural drawings) Eminent Domain - The autharily of the govemment to acquire private property far public use for which the owner must receive "just compensation."

Fa~ade - The exterior wall of a building exposed to public view ar that wall viewed by persons not within the building. FAR (Floor Area Ratio) - A formula for determining permilled building volume as a multiple of the area of the lot. The FAR is determined by dividing the gross fioar area of buildings on a lot by the area of the lot. For example. a FAR of 6 on a 5.000 square foot lot would allow a building with a gross area of 30.000 square feet. Fenestration - Design elements of the exterior (architectural) window treatments such as pallem. rhythm and ornamentation. Form-Based Code - A new and useful implementation measure, emphasizing building forms over individual land uses. far achieving certain planning goals. such as walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use and transit-oriented development. . Grid - A traditional method of land subdivision which results in the creation of square or rectangular blocks and pUblic streets that intersect at right angles. Historic District - A geographically definabie area with a significant concentration of building. structures. sites. spaces or objects unified by past events. physical development. design. setting. materials. workmanship. sense of cohesiveness or related historical and aesthetic associations.

Pocket Park - A small park in an urban area. Preservation - Providing for the continued use of deteriorated old and historic buiidings, sites, structures and objects. The means for preservation include restoration. rehabilitation and adaptive use. Proportion - The ratio or relative size of two or more dimensions. The term can be used to refer to the ratio of the width to the height of 0 door or window opening, or to the ratio of the width of a street to the height of adjacent buildings. Public Art - Works of art that are located in public space. Public art may exist in a variety of forms. from freestanding sculpture to well-crafted street lights and benches. Reconstruction - The act or process of reproducing by new construction the exact form and detail of a vanished building, structure, or a part thereof. as it appeared at a specific period of time. Rehabilitation - Isee Preservation) Renovation - Modemization of an old or historic structure. Unlike restoration, renovation may not be consistent with the original design. Restoration - (see Preservation) Rhythm and Pattern - Relate to materials, styles, shapes and spacing of building elements and the buildings themselves. The predominance of one materia! or shape. and its pattems of recurrence, is characteristics of an area that need to be maintained. Scale - The apparent size of 0 building, window or ather element as perceived in relation to the size of a human being. Scale refers to the apparent size, not actual size, since it is always viewed in relationship to another building or element. For instance, the scale of one element may be altered simply by changing the size of an element nearby, such as windows. doors, or other architectural details. These relationships contribute to the experience of a place as intimate, vast, and daunting, etc. Scenic Easement - A restriction on the use of land or buildings to protect an important view or scenic corridor. "\ Sense ot Place - The emotions and images associated with a location, based on its unique identity and other ~ memorable qualities.

Streetwall - The building frontage and fac;ade that defines the public space edge of the sidewalk, streetscape, and street. Townscape - The relationships among buiidings, public spaces, and land forms that gives a town or area a distinct visual character or image. Traditional Neighborhood Development (TN D) - A compact, pedestrian-oriented development with 0 mix of uses, walkable, compact, convenient services, and well-defined public and private spaces. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) - A system of land development control wherein rights, or development units, are assigned to parcels of land based upon planning studies and density control factors. These rights ore separable and may be transferred from properties in "sending" zones to properties in "receiving" zones; thus they are marketable. TORs hove been used to protect agricultural land and historic resources, and permit increosed density in target areas. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) - Compact, mixed use development concentrated in an area to support an existing or proposed regional moss transit system. A TOO ordinance or zoning district aims to reduce car trips by facilitating pedestrian and transit access to jobs, housing, and services. Transparency - Refers to the interaction between observer and an activity in an environment. It allows the observer to "read" what is happening inside a structure or in another area. For example. a commercial building is considered transparent if the pedestrian can view the merchandise or interior activity from the street. Urban Fabric - The physical material of a buiiding, structure or city, connoting an interweaving of component parts. Vernacular - Landscape, settlement pattems, and buiiding types which result from local or regional building traditions and conventions. View Corridor and View Shed - Refers to the line or range of vision from an observation point to a viewpoint. often used in determining the extent of scenic easements.

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE PROPOSED POLICIES The following are proposed revisions to the draft policies in the General Plan and the suggestion of several new policies. The intent is that these proposed revisions better address the goals and objectives of the General Plan Update and provide guidance for their implementation. GP1 The following proposed General Plan Update recommendations pertain to a series of "LUT"'s from the existing draft General Plan, and in bold, suggested alternative language for each of them. PROPOSED LUT 4.7.3 Height This General Plan uses three terms to define basic categories of building heights: . Low-rise: . Mid-rise: . High-rise: 1 to 3 stories 4 to 6 stories 6 to 8 stories OR: Remove the term High-Rise from the following General Plan Chapter 5 Policies: LUT 46.14; LUT 9.5.2; LUT 9.5.4; LUT 9.5.7 IV. URBAN CORE SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSED POLICIES The following are proposed revisions to the Urban Core Specific Plan. They are based on our review of the General Plan and its goals and objectives and our initial overview of Chula Vista and the goals of the UCSP and the stated mission for each subdistrict.

Population projections should be brought iiI line with SANDAG's 2030 population forecast for Chula Vista. (All quotes are from the GPU DEIR.) What is' the "Community Character Alternative"? The draft DEIR identifies a "Community Character Alternative" as a possible substitute to the "Preferred Plan" "as a means of reducing impacts associated with land use specifically community character, visual resources, cultural resources, transportation, air quality, and services and utilities... " The Community Character Alternative reduces the designated building heights by one category level. Therefore, areas designated high-rise (8+ stories) would become mid-rise. Areas identified as mid-rise (4-7 stories) would become low rise (1-3 stories). The Community Character Alternative also includes a new GPU policy to encourage preservation of historic homes. Under the Preferred Plan, historic homes could be demolished to make room for new development. What would adoPtion of the "Community Character Alternative" accomplish for Chula Vista? According to the City's DEIR report, "this alternative would reduce the impacts to community character compared to the Preferred Plan or any of the Scenarios. The mass and heights of buildings in the area would decrease which would be more likely to maintain the current community character over the Preferred Plan or any of the Scenarios. This reduction would reduce any adjacency impacts due to the placement of High-rise buildings next to existing single family, one-story residences. Reducillg these building heights has the potential to retain the traditional character of the DowIltown area and increase the compatibility with surrounding properties compared to the Preferred Plall and each of the Scenarios [emphasis added)." Why Does Crossroads II Recommend the "Community Character Alternative"? Crossroads II is in full support of redeveloping the west side of Chula Vista without disrupting the existing community in the process. We support the "Community Character Alternative" because it retains "the basic goals, objectives, and policies of the proposed General Plan Update except those pertaining to building heights and densities." I CV 00324 Crossroads n also h as more specific comments, which are addressed below: , '!: Specific Comments L The land use designation "Transit Focus Area" (TFA) generally along H St. between Third and Fourth Avenues should be changed to a lower density. Why? The Character Issue We want Chula Vista to grow and redevelop, but we believe that as that happens we should maintain our small-town character and charm. This critical area along H St. between Fourth and Third Avenues is destined to become our true downtown, i.e. the hub for business activity in the city. We endorse this concept, but we do not think that high-rise buildings are appropriate. We believe that Chula Vista can have a viable, business-retail-residential hub in this area by increasing density, but to a maximum height of seven stories, like Scripps Hospita1. We believe a mid-rise downtown is more in keeping with the small-town character of Chula Vista that we hope to maintain. . The Transit Fiction Issue The justification for assigning this area the highest density a]]owable under the Plan is that it is on a planned rapid transit route. Meetings we have had with SANDAG staff inform us that bus rapid transit will not happen along H St. The reasons they give us are: (I) The bus rapid transit BRT system needs its own dedicated travel lane, yet the Plan calls for H St. to remain four Janes. (2) One of the primary purposes of the H St. BR T is to link Southwestern Co]]ege with the H St. trolley station. However, the Southwestern Co]]ege Board of Trustees has voted unanimously against al10wing the BRT to traverse the campus. These two problems, and others, make the H St. BRT route infeasible. . 2. Crossroads II regards the entrances - gateways - to our city as critical facets of our city's image. We note that the GPU identifies severa] "Gateway" entry points and contains' poJices to "Create consistent entryfeattlresfor City entryways and gateways"..., and "Develop a comprehensive gateway improvement program.__" Crossroads II is in ful1 support of this GPU objective, and we are anxious to work with the city on its implementation. 3. Weare disappointed that the GPU has been released with an outdated Housing Element. This creates many probJems. One is that there is a fundamentaJ discrepancy and internal contradiction between the (old) Housing. Element and the updated GPU. For example, goal no. I from the 1999-2004 Housing EJement, which is made a part of the GPU, is: "Conserve AffordabJe Housing Stock." In fact, a primary effect of the pJans for ChuJa Vista's west side under the GPU would be to remove existing affordable housing and repJace it with up-scale"housing. It is clear that the goals for the wes1 side have changed since 1989. Yet because the GPU includes the old 2 c:v 00325 Housing Element, the document contains important internal discrepancies. This is not permissible under the State General Plan Guidelines, and makes no sense. Secondly, implementation of the General Plan Update will result in the displacement of alot of people, yet no information is provided either in the Plan itself or in the EIR. on what will happen to these people. We refer you to an electronic mail message ITom Ms. Sharon Floyd, attached. Sharon is a member of the Urban Core Specific Plan Advisory Committee, and a member ofthe Crossroads II Steering Committee. The questions she raises are questions that we assume would be addressed in the updated Housing' Element. They are questions that the Planning Commission and Council should have answers to before they are asked to take action the GPU and EIR.. The GPU and its EIR. currently provide no answers to these questions. We recommend that action on the GPU be postponed for a few months until the new Housing Element is completed, allowing the Planning Commission and Council to look at the Plan and its Impacts as a whole instead of piece meaL 3 CV 00326 Mark Stephens From: Sent: To: Subject: Susan Watry [s_watry@hotmail.com] Monday, September 05, 2005 7:36 PM Patty Davis; Dave Rowlands; John McCann; Stephen Padilla; Jerry Rindone; Steve Castaneda; Buck Martin; Duane Bazzel; Dave Byers; Daniel Forster; Ed Batchelder; Jack Griffin; Jim Sandoval; Mark Stephens; Nancy Lytle FW: REDEVELOPMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN HIGH-RISES! >Pasadena is a Boom Town with NO HIGH-RISES which proves it can be done.

Thanks for your attendance and comments at last Thursday's workshop. Hopefully the following gives you the information you need. Please feel free to cali me at 691-5005 with any questions. - Current height limits within the H Street corridor between 1-5 and Third Avenue vary in accordance with existing zoning. Short of marking up a zoning-district-based map, generally, maximum heights vary between 35 and 45 feet. A portion of the land near Third Ave and H Street, and which is within the Town Center I Redevelopment Area, can have buildings up to 100 ft. as provided for in the accompanying TCI Design Guidelines. First a quick clarification. The GPU will not change any zoning, but rather changes land use designations. If approved, actual zoning changes would follow. Following is a summary of the current proposed GPU designation changes within the corridor involving any land that is presently designated far residential. Please also note that the Council's direction at last Thursday's workshop to designate a special study area within the corridor does not alter these proposed designations. I'll start at 1-5 and move easterly: - To the south of H St., and east of 1-5, a portion of the Mixed Use Transit Focus Area designation overlays existing residential areas. The MUTFA could theor~tically allow future commercial uses in that area, although we have not developed any mixed use zoning provisions. The MUTFA could also support more residential in that area as well. - On the south side increasing the depth of to Otis St. To implement on the south side of Otis of Otis St. between Broadway and Fifth Ave., the GPU proposes the commercial now along the north side of H St., extending this vision over time, rezoning of those residential lots St. would likely occur. - On the west of Medium Density commercial. side of Fourth Ave. just north of Roosevelt St. there is a small area residential that the GPU proposes become professional and office - on the south side of H St. east of Fourth Ave., the GPU proposes that the depth of the commercial area be increased slightly. That area is currently designated Medium Density residential. - Within the southeast quadrant of H St. and Third Ave., there is a small portion of the GPU's proposed Mixed Use Transit Focus Area that overlays an area of current High Density residential. While the MUTFA designation could allow potential commercial uses, high density residential use is also compatible with the TFA. -----Original Message----- From: Laura Hunter [mailto:earthlover@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 7:41 AM- 1 r::v 00333 To: Ed Batchelder Subject: two questions Hi Ed Can I ask you 2 questions? What is the current height limit on H street corridor? Does the current proposal for the transit corridor change any residenital zoning into commercial zoning? You help would be appreciated Thanks a lot Laura 2 . CV 00334 DRAFT Mayor: sought support from Councilmembers to also include "Harmonizing Change" language recommended by the Steering Committee, in a way that Mr. Batchelder described, that staff can work it, and in a way that's consistent with what we're already doing, to make some referencing language to that as a policy. Because I don't think it's. ...1 think it helps strengthen the plan, I don't think it hurts it. And I think it's consistent with, frankly, many of the things that we're already doing. It doesn't seem to me that if there's support from the steering committee, that they want that kind of language, it's certainly something that I think we can accommodate.. .not detract from the plan. Rindone: I would strongly endorse that as well, because to me, harmonizing is kind of reflective of what we see in the City of Denver, reflective to what we're calling our village core, where we see I to 2 story setbacks at the street level, 2 to 4 behind that, and 4 to 6 as it flows, without any high-rises along 3m avenue. I think that's very, very reflective. Because that's not a contradiction on looking at the transit focus area along H street as being the potential, if there were to be any mid or high rises. But I think it does speak to the community character, and does speak to what this community wants. And, certainly, I think it would be strongly endorsed by the DBA, as well. I would readily agree with that recommendation and I would like you to include that with your recommendation when you make it. McCann: I would be very in favor of it, Again one of the conditions that we looked at was very in line - the appropriate transitions - and I think that is pretty much harmonizing and what the intent of that was. I'd be very happy to do that. I'd also be happy to entertain or support the historic preservation additions, as well as environmental. .. provisions as well. Padilla requested a series of motions: 1. Direct staff to fmalize and release the revised draft GPU text and authorize staff to include those edits in the EIR analysis. What we are doing is saying we are going to proceed with the draft preferred plan after this evening. That will be as amended, as I'm about to amend, if the Council adopts. That plan will be released, and fine tuned and the EIR analysis will conclude. Circulation ofthe EIR will go out based on this. So everyone in the public understands; after this, this will be the draft, that will come back finally for an adoption hearing. But that will be the draft. 2. Amend and revise the GPU text to designate H Street, from the H Street/I-5 trolley station easterly to the future transit station area at Third A venue as a Transit Focus Corridor Special Study Area. 3. Direct staff to evaluate the land use designations/intensities, height, urban design, and form and related development regulations for this Transit Focus cr 00335 . Special Study Area, after the General Plan Update is adopted, and to return to Council within six months of that date with a completed study. . In addition, my amendment would be to direct staff to provide reference in the draft or amend the draft that reflects reference to harmonizing change language that is consistent, in that it reflect what... that it be consistent with what we are doing with stable neighborhoods, historical neighborhoods, and maintenance of form. Of course, just basic, for general reference, my amendment would also include all of the language in my memorandum that was submitted to the members ofthe Planning Commission and the Council, that deals with historic preservation, LUT 11.1, 11.3, and 11.4 revised, and environmental justice language that I proposed for policy EE 23.3,7.5, and 6.4. And, I would so move. (Vote: 3-0) Rindone: I would be happy to second that, but I would like to offer an amendment to your motion. The amendment that I would like to offer is as follows: I would like to request an amendment to your motion to specifically exclude the property known as Holiday Gardens from the mixed use Transit Focus Area to high density residential use, unless the majority of the property owners request to be included in this area. This amendment recognizes the existing land uses, which is very different from the majority of the area, which is primarily comprised of professional and commercial uses. Finally, that is my amendment to your motion. I'd just like make one comment: The reason I'm offering this, and hoping to get support tonight, is that I think that as part of the dialogue in the various workshops, that certainly has been an issue that's been very critical.. I think we need to send a clear signal to the owners of holiday gardens, that we did hear you, that's not the intent. If they don't agree, then they could correct that if they have a vote of the majority of the owners. . McCann: Second. (Vote: 3-0) .

We asked these questions at our April Third Thursday Breakfast, by e-mail, and also in our Spring 2005 Newsletter. Many of you responded, some very passionately, and we thank you all. In terms of places people like the best, the Bayfront Park, J St. marina and Nature Center/Sweetwater Marsh got the most votes. But we eliminated those answers because we were trying to find out what people liked and disliked about the so-called "urban core" area. Our Membership Coordinator, Susan, has compiled the results, and here they are! THREE PLACES IN THE "URBAN CORE" OF CHULA VISTA PEOPLE LIKE THE MOST: (1) The Civic Center Library/Friendship Park Complex; (2) Third Avenue Village and the activities that take place there; (3) Old neighborhoods with lovely tree lined streets and historic and cottage-style homes. THREE PLACES IN THE "URBAN CORE" PEOPLE LIKE THE LEAST: (1) The new Police Station; (2) the Gateway buildings; (3) the Broadway corridor. Your answers tell us what it is about the urban core we should be preserving and building on, and what should not be repeated or needs to be redeveloped. Many of you mentioned that the places you like the best are places you have an opportunity to meet and greet people you know, and ~ocialize a little - like the Civic Center Library and Third Ave. Village. What this tells us is that in doing a plan for the "Urban core," the planning consultants should focus on providing places that give people opportunities to congregate and socialize. The places most of you said you dislike also tell us something. The places the community seems to value are places with a human scale (like the Library and Third Ave.) - you dislike places that have a relatively massive presence and unwelcoming feeling, like the new Police Station and Gateway building complex. We will be passing these results on to the city, as well as to Mike Stepner, the renowned planning consultant who is doing a plan that will 1 I r::v 00339 Page 1 of 1 Mark Stephens From: Susan Watry Sent: Sunday, October 16, 20051:35 PM Subject: THIRD THURSDAY BREAKFAST THIS THURSDAY!

What is important about this concept, and what is different than anything I can find in the existing GPU (including revisions) is the emphasis on the PACE of change. In other words, under this theme neighborhoods could and would change over time, but more slowly than under the GPU as you have proposed it would allow. Because the harmonizing change principle requires that new development respect (not replicate, Jim, respect) the character and scale of existing development, high-rise development could not be introduced adjacent to existing low-rise development, regardless of what the plan called for ultimately. But under most circumstances, mid-rise could be introduced adjacent to low-rise. The language (including revisions) in the GPU calls for compatibility with the FUTURE vision for a particular area. For example, under the GPU as currently written, high rise development could be introduced adjacent to single story development, as long as the plan called for more high-rise development where the single story development is located. Under the harmonizing change theme, new development could not proceed unless it respected what is on the ground now in terms of scale and character. This does NOT mean that you would have to "limit new development to the type and scale that exists today" (staff report page 5). For example, you could build a 3 or 4 story building next to a one story building. But you could not build a 10 story building next to a one story building, regardless of what the plan calls for ultimately. The theory behind harmonizing change is that neighborhoods should evolve over time, not change suddenly (a la proposed Espanada). I am sorry you missed this point. I think the committee got it. Patricia Aguilar CV 00341 11/01/2005 community. How sad that Crossroads' Steering Committee cannot raise itself above petty differences and do what is best for the community as a whole. There has always been a subtle divide within the Steering Committee between those who have seemed to feel that there was nothing to be gained by civility, that guerrilla warfare was the only way to "win"; and those who, like me, feel that reasoning together through open communications was the higher road to follow and would accomplish much more. While I was on vacation, the few who have advocated guerilla warfare took control of CrossroadsII, and Patricia Aguilar has become one of them. They have recently exhibited every negative modus operandi they have historically charged the City with using: i.e., duplicity, manipulation, meeting behind closed doors, disregard for individual rights, secret strategies, being swayed by money, and demeaning and slandering anyone who, by their definition, isn't "a team player". This is not the kind of leadership I wish to follow and I think that many of CrossroadsII membership would feel the same if they knew how the Steering Committee was operating. Unfortunately, it is my belief that Pat Aguilar has allowed herself to be subverted due to her anger of failing to secure votes on the City Council for the 90 foot height limit on August 18th. Based on my recent experience, this is not a group that has any respect for differing opinions. In the short run, I suppose, they can dispense with people who disagree with them, such as was done to me. But in the long-run, a group with such an attitude cannot credibly claim to represent the community perspective. What a shame for the residents of Chula Vista that the promise of what we all hoped CrossroadsII would become has been so diminished. If there is any doubt that I do not have just cause to make these claims, please contact me. . To the Council Members, Please know that I remain committed to working collaboratively with you and City staff to protect and improve the City we love. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, or to let me know how I can help you create an ever more perfect Chula Vista. Sharon McDade Floyd, 273 D Street, 426-3373, simflovd@cox.net, Member, Urban Core Specific Plan Comm., Town Center Project Area Comm. cv 00342 With a heavy heart, I write this to inform the residents of Chula Vista of my recent ouster from the CrossroadsII Steering Committee. In what can only be described as a 'kangaroo court" and after a highly manipulated process that produced no actual evidence whatsoever, I was removed from the Steering Committee, based on vague claims of 'disloyalty". The shocking actions on the part of some of the members of the Crossroads Steering Committee over the past three weeks have been both undemocratic and unfair. I have never been disloyal. Many of you may remember speaking with me at the Crossroads Booth on Third Avenue during festival days. In fact, it was my call to Michael Turko that convinced him to come to Chula Vista and publicize our fight to save the trees in Friendship Park. That action played into the inception of Crossroads II. I have contributed greatly to the growth and recognition that Crossroads now enjoys. Yet, because I refused to be manipulated by five members who resented my independent approach to some issues, I was deemed 'disloyal", 'not a team player". Recent events, which I have documented, prove that the true leadership of Crossroads has shifted from President Pat Aguilar to member Peter Watry and wife, Susan. Patricia remains the public face of CrossroadsII, but the Watrys are the true "power behind the throne". This is not what I signed up for. As a member of the Steering Committee, I have always hoped to influence the majority of members to see the wisdom in being a strong, respected grassroots advocacy voice, working to persuade and support the Mayor and Council in making the kind of decisions that would best benefit the residents of Chula Vista. Enhancing the quality of life while preserving the character of this city where I have lived for more than sixty years has always been my goal. My vision was that Crossroads would pattern itself after organizations that are successful in negotiations, such as Environmental Health Coalition. However, one of the claims against me was that I am a member of the leadership of Environmental Health Coalition. Several members of the Steering Committee object to my membership in EHC. I have never understood this as EHC has been a major force in bringing about a sane Master Plan on our bay front, the future dismantling of the polluting power plant, and in keeping housing away from toxic and polluted areas, to name just a few of the benefits that EHC has fought for in our community.

The purpose of the workshop is to brief them regarding the GPU land use and transportation proposals, and related policy, for Southwest and Northwest Chula Vista. We will also overview proposed GPU document edits in response to comments received during our first public review earlier this calendar year. As we discussed, one of those comments related to the future likelihood (or perceived lack thereof) of the H SI. BRT service, and whether we should be designating transit focus areas associated with this corridor, particularly the TFA near Third Ave. and H SI. I've faxed you a copy of a summary prepared by Peter Watry (Crossroads 2) stating their understanding from past conversation with Jennifer Williamson, and based on that, why they oppose the TFA designation. In recent public discussions, folks have gone so far as to define TFA as "transit fantasy area". While our GP staff will continue to stand behind the rationale of our recommendation toward dispelling any myths or misunderstandings as to the future of BRT service in the H SI. corridor, your assistance to clarify understandings about future service would be greatly appreciated. After all the efforts of the RCP, RTP and our local Transit First study work, it would be unfortunate for undue doubt or mis-statements to overshadow good planning. I'd like to ask your assistance in 2 ways. First, if a SANDAG staff representative could be present at the above 8/2 workshop to answer questions and/or respond to comments if they arise. A formal presentation would not be necessary, and the level of involvement would be dependant upon the extent to which the topic comes up. Second, if you would be willing to meet with Crossroads or others to provide an overview of SANDAG's current transit efforts and activities (should they find that would be useful)? As a quick aside, SANDAG presence at our October hearings would also be beneficial, but we can talk about that later. Enjoyed talking with you today, and look forward to our continued work. Thanks.

Thanks also to our speakers, appraisers, sponsors and elected officials. Everyone sincerely appreciates your contributions and all your hard work. It's too early to give you a tally of attendance, (probably around 1000) but I can report the following: We had over 120 volunteers this year. We raised over $17,000 in commercial sponsorships. We had three C.V. City Council Members participate enthusiastically as our Celebrity Docents (Mary Salas, John McCann and Jerry Rindone). And... we have additional pledges from sponsors for some exciting future projects (TBA). Most importantly, we are raising the consciousness in the community of how historic preservation can benefit Chula Vista. For those of you who are concerned about promoting a sensitive approach to revitalization of the western historic core that celebrates our past in the future, I urge you to attend Saturday's General Plan Update Town Hall Meeting. It will take place June 21 between 9 am - 1 pm in the Bonita Vista High School Gym. At this important meeting the public will be invited to "weigh in" on sets of alternatives for land uses in key areas of the City. Among these proposed land uses is the concept of bringing high rise buildings to Third Avenue between E and G streets. (Two alternative concepts are also being proposed, one featuring mid-rise buildings and the other low-rise.) !fyou would like to preserve the historic character of Third Ave this is your chance to vote (hopefully on alternative B or C!) Other important land uses being proposed will impact the Northern area west of Broadway, the lower Sweetwater area, the Montgomery area, and the Otay Ranch area. As a member of the General Plan Update Sub-Committee on the Environment, Open Space & Sustainable Development, I know first-hand that your input WILL be considered. In addition to sitting on the above GPU sub-committee, I have monitored most of the GPU Steering Committee meetings and I can assure you this General Plan Update is a citizen-driven effort. This GP Update when adopted will be the road map for all development and land use in Chula Vista. Just as the last GP determined the type of development and planning that went into the growth of the eastern sections of the City, this new GPU will determine the character of future growth in those areas as well as in western Redevelopment areas. The City has been working on this GPU with citizen committees for over a year now in an unprecedented way that encourages strong community involvement in the process. This is your City and your General Plan. Please attend and vote for your choices and express your opinions. They really do count.

Letters to the editor: South Edition June 9, 2005 "Chula Vista gets two chances to calm citizenry," (South County Editorial, June 9) was exactly on the mark. Our new mayor has taken the rather stalwart step of deciding to urbanize the northwest part of Chula Vista? the historical part of Chula Vista that was laid out in 1888. For 30 years I have watched our city make effort after effort to try to rejuvenate Third Avenue, Broadway and other rather wornaut parts of our city. Results have been close to zero. Thus, many of us support the mayor1s basic initiative in our new general plan. The problem, as your editorial correctly points out, is that his effort goes too far, too fast as far as the citizens are concerned. The overwhelming majority of us who live in western Chula Vista chose to live here because of its suburban, low-density environment. If we had wanted to live in a high-density urban environment, we would have chosen to live elsewhere. Parts of the mayor's so-called "Preferred Plan" seem to try to mimic downtown San Diego. For example, the plan calls for a 40 percent increase in housing units in northwest Chula Vista; the plan says that a traffic Level of Service liE" will be acceptable in northwest Chula Vista. A traffic service level of "E" is just one step above "F," gridlock. The plan calls for an increase in density and traffic far beyond what people who live here will accept. The mayor and staff can "calm the citizenry" by revising the plan so that during the next general plan cycle, say 15 years, there will only be a 20 percent to 25 percent increase in density. That should put enough additional "feet and on the street" to satisfy the demands of businessmen and to attract the desired investment, while at the same time not betraying the trust and beliefs that the citizens had when they chose to live here. We should also leave the IS-story office buildings for the next general plan cycle ? seven stories is plenty high enough for this cycle. Neither San Diego nor any other big city developed from 2-story buildings to 15-story buildings in one step. We are waiting to see the revised version of the draft general plan update. We hope it will show a willingness to compromise, to calm down the currently proposed level of growth. I fervently hope that your editorial will cause the mayor and the staff to consider doing so ? otherwise, the battle for the soul of our Chula Vista will continue.

Please give me a call (691-5005) or email if you have any questions in the interim. -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Bensoussan [mailto:parnelabens@cox.net) Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 8:10 AM To: Ed Batchelder Cc: PatAguilar@cox.net; 'Terry Thomas'; 'Rude Diana' Subject: GPU Steering Committee Ed, Wondering why I haven't received a response from you.

Ed, I believe that precisely because the Northwest area is important to the GPU for the reasons you cited, that it is somewhat disingenuous not to allow Diana to have an alternate that represents this area. If you don't want me to serve as ~hat alternate I would hope that you would find another citizen from the Northwest area. As I'm sure you know, this area has always been a priority of mine. I'm curious as to why you wouldn't want to ratify an appointment with City Council? Is it because you consider the final Steering 1 CV 00353 Committee meeting of little importance? Would you recommend I discuss the possibility of an appointment with a Council Member? Please elaborate.

I personally very much appreciate all the time and effort you put in on the Steering Committee as a long-time resident of the Northwest area. Based on comments received during our first round of formal public review, we are now close to having the GPU ready for a second round of circulation, and will hopefully have a plan adopted by the end of summer. As you know, we will be meeting with the Steering Committee regarding the changes proposed prior to them going out. Even though you're now living outside of CV, I'll make sure to send you a copy of the final GP product to proudly display in your new residence. Thanks also for your recommendation on replacement. At this point in our efforts, rather than go back to the Council to ratify a new appointment, it would be my preference to proceed with the final meeting absent a formal "replacement". This is in no way intended as a reflection of a lack of interest or importance of a voice for GP issues within the Northwest area, nor with any intent to diminish the Committee's discussion of those, or to discourage ~amela from participating. As Terry notes, Pamela has been a part of the GPU committee process all along. To the contrary, GPU issues within the Northwest area are at the center of what has become a fairly high profile public dialog. We have seen a newspaper add or article on the topic every week for approximately the last 1-2 months, and have been working with Crossroads II, the Roosevelt St. Coalition and others to focus in on what the remaining key issues are. Please know that from my position, the focus on and discussion of Northwest issues has been, and will continue to be robust. I will copy this email, and follow up by phone with both Pamela and Terry to share my thoughts, and hopefully find acceptance. Please let me know if you have any problems with that, and we can explore another course.

Please accept my personal apology for the "starts and stops" in readying to have a meaningful and productive discussion with you regarding the status of our prior Preferred Alternative, and related General Plan policy. Although frustrating, the purpose is to allow needed time for some of the key community interest groups to develop suggestions for Plan improvement for us to consider. It has been, and remains my position that the more and clearer the information we have from the community, the more efficient and effective our discussions will be. As I'm sure you've seen in recent media publications, staff has been working with Crossroads IT, the Roosevelt Street Coalition and others, as well as internally, to prepare proposed Plan text and policy revisions to refine and clarifY the Plan's intents. We have also been working to revise the Draft Environmental Impact Report in response to comments received during our public review period earlier this year. At this point, staff has prepared a draft list of a number of text and policy revisions we feel would improve the plan. We also provided the Roosevelt Street Coalition and their consultant Mike Stepner (Stepner Design Group) with sections from the existing Draft General Plan related to areas/topics of interest, and asked that they review these and provide recommendations that could address their issues. They also held a community dialog meeting on May 11. . Based on recent conversation, they should have comments ready over the next week or so (end of May). Considering that, it is likely that we will be ready to meet with you in the first week of June. I'm reluctant to set a specific date today, and would prefer to wait until we have the comments in-hand. That said, Rabbia will contact you toward the end of next week as to status and potential dates. In the interim, feel free to contact me at 691-5005 or Mark Stephens at 409-5959 with any questions. I look forward to our discussions and trust that the quality of the outcomes will be worth the time. cc: Mark Stephens Dave Kaplan Dan Forster Jim Sandoval Duane Bazzel Kim VanderBie Steve Power . cv 00356 Rabbia Phillip From: Sent: To: Co: Rabbia Phillip Friday, May 13, 2005 10:37 AM Bill Tripp; Biil Tripp; Diana Rude; Gary Nordstrom; Gregory Alabado; Kevin Q'Neiil; Mitch Thompson; Patricia Aguilar; Paul Nieto; Randail Krogman; Rudy Ramirez; Russ Hail; Stephen Savel; Teresa Thomas; Terry Thomas Daniel Forster; David Kaplan; Duane Bazzel; Ed Batcheider; Jeff Barfield; Jim Hare; Jim Sandoval; John Mullen; Kim Vander Bie; Marilyn Ponsegg;; Mark Stephens; Mary Ladiana; Rick Rosaler; Steve Power Importance: High LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: This is to let you know that the preferred date for a City of Chula Vista General Plan Update Steering Committee meeting is the evening of Monday, May 23, While not every member is available, there Is currently a solid quorum, and we thank you for your responses.

Staff feels that general consensus exists for the vast majority of General Plan Update recommendations, and that the remaining areas at issue are few. Additional time is needed, . however, in order to address the issues raised. Rather than having the Steering Committee meet on April 25, we are proposing a date of MONDAY. MAY 9. This will enable us to provide you with a more complete set of proposed changes. Earlier this month. at the request of Councilman John McCann, the City Manager's Office arranged a meeting that brought together representatives of several community groups that have been active in discussions about the future development and character of the community, and Northwest Chula Vista in particular. Among the groups represented were Crossroads II, the Roosevelt Street Coalition, the Downtown Business Association and the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce. Work is continuing to try and reach common ground in this area. The schedule from here still anticipates release of the revised Draft EIR in late May, a public information meeting in June, followed by Planning Commission/City Council workshops and hearings in July and August. Please contact General Plan Update Secretary Rabbia Phillip at (619) 409-5490 or via email at rphillip@cLchula-vista.ca.us regarding your availability to meet for approximately two hours (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.) on the evening of MONDAY, MAY9. If you cannot make the May 9 date and time, we would appreciate hearing back what alternative date around that general time frame would work for you. In summary, the Steerinq Committee will not meet the week of April 25, but is proposed to meet on Mondav. Mav 9. City staff will get back to you with a preferred place and time, as well as an agenda and supporting information.

RABBIA'S NOTES . The City Manager, Dave Rowlands, Jr. opened the meeting welcoming the attendees for their interest in working in a positive way with City staff for the benefit of future residents. He stated that this meeting was called on the suggestion of Council-member John McCann. Jim Sandoval, Director of Planning and Building Department briefly reviewed the GP update schedule process to adoption, stating that it was nearing the end of the process. Ed Batchelder, Advance Planning Manager and Project Manager for the General Plan Update reviewed the stages of the update process affirming that 95% of the work on 'the GPU is now solid, most of the concerns being raised are in the Northwest part of the city and the H Street corridor. Also issues with buildings and form are also being addressed. He explained that the zoning, etc details on the existing General Plan map are unchanged just encouraged and more thoroughly laid out, in the update. Jim Sandoval confirmed that for the most part the GP update is acceptabie, the Transit Focus Centers, Eastern Urban Center but H Street and Third Avenue have some issues to be rectified. He also stated that the City should ensure policies are in place to protect single-family, stable neighborhoods. Taller structures are OK, as there will eventually be a transit center node in the area of H Street. The UCSP needs to be consistent with the GPU to refine and set standards for the City. The City must determine what the Downtown signature is to be and make it recognizable. In several of the policies it has been written in that where there are more densities. He reiterated that the GPU was as a broad canvas and the UCSP would do the whittling away to create the specifics for the location. Ed noted that in reality the Generai Plan Update is affecting only 10% of land in the City. He pointed out the "mixed-use" classification is new to Chula Vista (not California), and it gives greater flexibility (28-60 dujga). Mr. O'Neill stated that in his opinion, all else in the GPU could be compromised but the heights. He suggested that no specific height limits be stated, but put a mechanism in to say --- by right; a ratio of setback ft./ vertical ft.; a way of rewarding design that gives back to the City something that is worth what is being given up. Mr. Blackson agreed, stating that it was a very important issue as it defines Chula Vista. J :\Planning\ED\GP Update Meetlngs\DRmtg4-B-OS.doc CV 00362 Mr. Michael Young stated that this city has a linear downtown that creates negative shadow impacts, but that height alone need not be the defining image of this city. Primarily, Chula Vista needs to define itself. He also stated that those present should not equate volume with high-rise or height, but to consider how development relates to the surrounding areas. Mr. Michael Sepner suggested that what was done in Pasadena/Little Italy, can be done in our downtown. Mr. Earl Jentz distributed copies of the results of a private poll, which his group had conducted, showing residents' opinions of the development of Downtown. In response to the City Manager's question about what the City can do to resolve the situation, Mr. Jentz distributed a list of suggestions, which his group had prepared. Ms. Lisa Moctezuma addressed the group for Downtown Business Association and as a non-resident. She stated that it was obvious that Chula Vista is growing and in order to encourage the continued growth there has to be some vertical height, the 3 key locations on the GPU are as good as any, in her opinion. Mr. Peter Watry presented the concerns of his group. The GPU will destroy the character of the northeast part of the city. The levels of service - "E" on the streets is too intense, most western Chula Vista residents don't want to live in an urban environment. 1. There should be nothing higher than mid-rise in Downtown and high-rise by the Freeway 2. Downtown is not a transit focus area, according to his feedback from SANDAG, Rte 627 - next 15 years - no chance 3. H Street Trolley / E Street and Broadway /1-5 currently exist 2300 affordable housing units which the GPU will eradicate. 4. Holiday Gardens should be changed from mixed-use/transiHocus area should be changed to residential high, 30ft. limit 5. Other housing, Terry's Homes, St. Joseph's/Cambridge 6. Urban core residential should be medium/high 7. Third Avenue and H Street, corners should be changed from present mixed-use/transit focus area to mixed-use residential. Mr. William Hall stated that in his opinion the part that is missing from the GPU is a transportation element - united bus route will encourage people around the area. 1. Mixed-use designation - commercial/office. 2. The challenge is the north side of H Street and Broadway corridor which offers more opportunity 3. Third Avenue and H Street lack pedestrian traffic which affects the businesses J:\Planning\ED\GP Update Meetings\DRmtg4-8-0S.doc cv 00363 . 4. Needs some draws 5. Box buildings, limit height, build out within parcel to create a more interesting mix. 6. Provide more amenities on the street side, allow residential and discourage use of cars. 7. Make allowances now and plan for it . Jim Sandoval informed the group that there is transit, the "green line", but that the traffic studies are based on the scenario of no transit. South of H Street should reduce low quality retail and open up Broadway and H Street, with residence above the third floor. Scripps is not viable in Chula Vista but can become so with underwriting. Kevin O'Neill suggested gauging the traffic on suburban model; try to get people out of their cars by making it inconvenient, such as in EUC, Uc. H Street trolley should have a monorail through Third Avenue, down F Street to the Bay front and return. The City should seek grant money and be a forward-thinking city, if the city planners don't dream the dream the residents will have to settle for status quo or mediocrity. Ms L Moctezuma voiced lack of support on behalf of the DBA for a bus on Third Avenue on the basis that it would negatively affect the outdoor diners and discourage outdoor cafes. She concluded by stating the DBA members implore the UCSP Committee to make decisions in favor of revitalizing the Downtown area and western Chula Vista. Mr. Jentz placed on record that the group he represents, Roosevelt Street residents, agrees with development of downtown with step-back design and incorporate design aesthetics and movements. Jim Sandoval concluded by restating that it all comes down to design and architecture and that the General Plan sets policy and the UCSP would implement from area to area. The specific plans have to be consistent with the Ge'neral Plan In conclusion Mr. Palmer this would be the ideal opportunity to revitalize the city or see it deteriorate and eventually die. He reassured the group that the process would be done in the right sequence to avoid community discomfort and lack of confidence, due to questionable practices by the decision makers. He reminded those present that the General Plan is a policy document not an implementation tool. Mr. Palmer stated that staff would incorporate the information presented here into the revisions currently being worked on in the GPUjEIR. The meeting was adjourned at 3:00p.m. J:\Planning\EO\GP Update Meetings\DRmtg4-B-OS.doc cv 00364 .

The voters are leery of high-rise development (10 to 17 stories) in their community. We have found that almost 3f. of the population do not want a high-rise condominium project in the downtown core. When presented with three options a.) high-rise, b.) mid-rise (4 to 7 stories) or c.) low-rise (1 to 3 stories) the community would prefer low-rise development, 52% compared to 23% for mid-rise and 12% for high-rise. These numbers hold true on both the east and west side of Chula Vista. Two-thirds of the respondents oppose removrng existing residents to accommodate the redevelopment of the downtown area. These numbers are strong again on both sides of the Chula Vista. Fifty-six percent of the respondents oppose the reduction of available affordable housing to redevelop downtown. Overall our findings suggest that high rise redevelopment is not an option that the community would accept. CV 00369 "FROM' : FAX NO. :6192552014 Apr. 07 2003 04:04PM P4 -, '. . , . . 01.

Recently, City staff met with two top members of the GPU Steering Commitlee-Chair Mitch Thompson and Vice Chair Patricia Aguilar-- to map out a course of action to complete the General Plan process. Currently, the City is reviewing all of the public comments that have been received on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Draft General Plan. In response to these many comments, planning staff has been making changes to both documents. When these proposed changes are completed, they will be shared with the Steering Commitlee so that the Commitlee can make a recommendation. The GPU is the blueprint that will guide growth and development over the next 20 years. It's been a massive effort that has included at least 70 public meetings, thousands of volunteer hours and thousands of public comments. As a result of the most recent meetings, nearly 100 letlers and verbal comments from a number of speakers were entered into the record. The GPU process was extended so those letlers and comments can be reflected in a new version of the Environmental Impact Report, to be re-circulated throughout the community. --more-- CV 00373 Mark Stephens From: Sent: To: Subject: Susan Watry [s_watry@cox.net] Sunday, March 20, 2005 12:08 PM Dave Byers; Ed Batchelder, Jim Sandoval; Buck Martin; Jack Griffin; Dave Rowlands; Mark Stephens; Michael Meacham; Duane Bazzel; Nancy Lytle COMMENTARY ON GPU La Prensa March 18, 2005 Commentary The GPU delayed. What's next? By Earl Jentz News that the approval of the General Plan Update for Chula Vista has been delayed by the city is bittersweet. Despite Mayor Padilla's claim that the city needs more time to process public opinion (as the sole reason for the delay) the fact remains that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Update was inadequate and fatally flawed. In the Mayor's defense it is true that the city has volumes of public input to consider. However, long-time Chula Vista residents that are active with civic issues know that the city repeatedly patronizes community input and has often ignored community concerns. Many of us believe that the city is pre-disposed with development decisions long before the public has the opportunity to provide input on them. Months of volunteer work, time, and resources by community groups, business owners, and residents has at least given City Hall reason to blink. The city's pending critical land-use decision on the General Plan Update will impact all of us. Political courage in the community abounds as demonstrated by the city's own Resource Conservation Commission (RCC). The RCC voted unanimously that the city's Draft EIR for the General Plan Update could not be considered until 33 separate items /concerns were addressed. The RCC has also endorsed the Community Character Alternative within the EIR that calls for mid-rise, not high-rise residential projects as put forth by the city's general plan. The Community Character Alternative is a reasonable, measured approach to redevelopment as opposed to the city's vision of an Urban Mecca littered with high-density, high-rise towers and the added traffic, noise, and congestion that they would create. The Community Character Alternative was also embraced by Crossroads II, the Roosevelt Street Coalition, and other community groups as a best approach to redeveloping the city's west-side while preserving Chula Vista's heritage and keeping the residential-urban look and feel of our downtown. These and other groups have been active community watchdogs with the City's General Plan Update in an effort to ensure the quality of life and community character that is Chula Vista. These Chula Vista organizations believe that redevelopment and the revitalization of West Chula Vista is vital to our city as a whole. They also know that we as citizens must be active in shaping our growth, or we will surely suffer it. At a recent city council meeting an independent report on the City's General Plan Opdate was presented to the council by a qualified expert on land-use decisions and urban planning. This report says the City's EIR for the General Plan Update was non-compliant with the California 1 CV 00374 '~ """~'" ...,..--,.,"'-. ,"'..,." . , "~. ,. .~~\~;,^~;~..,) ".."~ /';;,,~ j~~; ." .',,' ""'k,~ :~;~t,~J :'" '~~ :+~J ",,;';?:~': '~',",,"' ';~'?:" !;~'..,2 (/j~ '~.:'~."'P. 1'-~~ == :~u .c" P-<' i~ ~ H; fia ,....

We are part of a broader state and national movement seeking to secure I e381:1rS88 8ReI investment in a secure energy future by investing in technologies that create jobs and generate energy locally. Our member organizations include International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 569, Environmental Health Coalition, South Bay Greens, Coalition of Neighborhood Councils, and the San Diego Imperial County Labor Council. We are writing to support the Revised General Plan Update for Chula Vista. There are many improvements in the new General Plan Update and we commend staff for this improved document. We urge adoption of the Update. The members of the Apollo Alliance especially support the aggressive commitment to pursuit of 40% clean, renewable energy by 2017. This policy will provide the necessary framework for Chula Vista to continue its role as a regional energy leader by creating opportunities in the City for implementation of this goal. We pledge to work closely with the City to develop an implementation plan that will bring the City success in this effort. We have already identified many potential implementation program options that we believe merit further discussion including solar revenue bonds, municipal leases, proof of concept proposals, electrical safety ordinances, certificates of participation and many other ideas. In the area of sustainability and energy efficiency, the commitment to encourage green buildings and LEED standards in construction is strongly supported by our coalition. We also appreciate and are very supportive of the policy to leverage economic development incentives to provide high quality jobs for Chula Vista residents in the Economic Development Element. The City's commitment to environmental justice and safe location of residences from energy generation facilities are also very positive policies promoted in the GPU. The Apollo Alliance supports the adoption of the Chula Vista GPU. We look forward to continued work together to implement the General Plan. More information on the Apollo Alliance can be found at www.sdapollo.org. Sin~~ Dr. Heather Honea, Chair Apollo Alliance 12-13-05 J-~(O Good evening Mr. Mayor, Council Members, City Staff and Ladies and Gentlemen. We are all here to help finalize the General Plan Update, a document that will guide Chula Vista thru final build-out as we envision that today. I would like to thank the professional staff members who have somehow maintained their neutrality, objectivity and manners while being inundated with conflicting opinions from all sides. I would also like to thank the Mayor and City Council for listening to the citizens and asking staff to prepare a mid-rise alternative for the transit focus area at Third Ave. and H St. From my perspective, mid-rise development is preferable for the following three reasons; I) Mid rise development is more in line with the character and scale of Chula Vista than hi-rise development. 2) The desired floor area ratios (F AR)'s designated by the city in the transit focus area by Third Ave can be achieved by either mid-rise or hi-rise development, but with mid-rise development people are: a) closer to the street b) more likely to shop. 3) Hi-rises impact and overpower adjacent property more than mid-rises. Your help on this matter is noted and appreciated. As usual, there are still areas of concern. One of those areas is the housing element which doesn't address the loss of market rate affordable housing and the potential displacement of thousands of rental households. It is my understanding that the City has agreed to study the scope and size of the problem and that is a good first step. However, the difficult task of addressing the problem still must be completed. In my opinion it should be resolved before the Urban Core Specific Plan moves forward to approval. Another area of concern is the proliferation of hi-rise development either through GPA's (General Plan Amendments) or the Special Study Zone on H St between 4th Ave and Interstate 5. Be assured we will diligently monitor future plans and development for reasonableness. In conclusion, please approve the General Plan Update with the mid-rise designation for the transit focus area at Third Ave. and H Street. Thank you.
