CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
In 1997, the Port District and City entered into a purchase agreement for the Port's
acquisition of the 2.73-acre parcel of land at 980 Lagoon Drive. Since the original
transaction was negotiated, the Port and the City have embarked upon a joint master
planning effort for the Chula Vista Bayrront, which includes the subject property. The
intent of the original purchase agreement has changed and, therefore, cancellation of the
property transaction is recommended. To reimburse the Port District for costs associated
with cancellation of this transaction, a loan rrom the General Fund to Bayrront Town
Centre 1 Redevelopment Area is necessary. On October 19, 2004, the Port Board agreed
to combine these reimbursed funds with other Port funds committed for the Chula Vista
Bayrront master planning effort. The Board also approved a consulting agreement with
Cooper, Robertson, and Partners to provide urban waterrront planning and design
consulting services for the master plan. (Director of Community Development)
