The Community Development Department will assume a prominent lead role in several
important, high profile, comprehensive efforts over the next few years, including the
General Plan update for western Chula Vista, a City-wide Economic Development
Strategy, the Business Response Team, and implementation of the Agency Financial
Plan. The current growth economy will present the City and the Redevelopment Agency
with tremendous opportunities, for both the short and long terms, to ensure that Chula
Vista will have a strong, diversified and thriving local economy. Currently, the
Department has a heavy project workload that requires a high level of project
management/negotiation expertise, as well as a number of other high profile pending
projects, including Crystal Bay, the auto park and water park expansions, EastLake
Business Park, and various affordable housing negotiations. The Department is looking
at reorganizing project management responsibilities and believes that additional staff are
necessary in order to accomplish these goals. (Community Development Director)
