the healthy cities and communities movement
A SHORT HISTORY
Since 1950, the pace of urbanization has skyrocketed. tn less than twenty years 0 full 50% of the
world's people will be living in cilies. At the some time, the cores of many older, once vibrant
cities are witnessing a decline in their population as urban systems break down and people flee to
the suburbs. Communities around the world are struggling with issues that hod previously not been
thought of as "health related." They are faced with severe pollution, substance abuse, violent
crimes, lock of education, unemployment, homelessness, and poor sanitary infrastructures which in
turn lead to decreases in the health status of people.

CALIFORNIA HEALTHY CITIES
ACIDEVEMENT AWARDS
1993
Anaheim's Pollution Prevention Program Supports Local Economy
The City of Anaheim convened a partnership among the Public Utilities and Fire Departments
and representatives of local businesses to implement cost-effective environmental management
strategies while supporting economic viability. Implemented in 1991, the program assisted small
business in evaluating waste streams subject to regulation; shared source reduction and waste
minimization strategies; provided information on recycling, treatment, disposal, and regulatory
requirements; identified sources of fmancial assistance; and investigated economical options for
hazardous waste disposal. Services were offered at no cost and, within the first year, 500
businesses attended workshops and 1,300 businesses were reached through a quarterly
newsletter. The program has fostered a climate of cooperation between business and
government; decreased improper disposal of hazardous waste; protected local ground water;
decreased environmental degradation; and supported an important section of the local job
market.
Chula Vista Coordinates Services to Provide Safety Net for Seniors
The City of Chula Vista established Project Care during a 1992 celebration of "Older
American's Month". Realizing that no single agency could afford to enhance service levels to
homebound or isolated seniors without increased resources, participating agencies and
organizations created a partnership to package existing programs, develop new ones, and form
a network of human care providers. Combined human service activities included Gatekeeper,
Postal Alert, RUOK?, Vial of Life, Minor Home Repairs, and Senior Friends. During the first
year of operation the project reached more than 500 seniors. Anticipated outreach during the
project's second year has been estimated at more than 50 seniors per month.
Highland Combines Resources to Reverse Crime, Improve Community Infrastructure
The City of Highland initiated the Ward/Cunningham Neighborhood Revitalization Program in
1991 in response to increased crime, gang activity, and deteriorated housing stock. A resident
survey noted that 75 percent would move out of the neighborhood if they could. With few
resources, the City created a multi-pronged systematic strategy including "Community-Oriented
Problem Solving" by the Police Department; a multi-agency "Highland Family Preservation
Project Team"; a property manager's manual to screen and select tenants more carefully; tough
building inspections and code enforcement; and Community Development Block Grant funds for
repaving streets and employing a Neighborhood Revitalization Coordinator. By 1993, another
resident survey indicated that perceptions of quality of life had increased by 50 percent; regard
for neighborhood schools had increased by 23 percent; and feelings of safety when out alone in
daylight hours increased by 17 percent.
i/h '59
South Gate Commission's Programs Make A Difference for Youth and Families
The City of South Gate fonned the "Commission for South Gate Youth" following a 1989
community forum in which 300 residents voiced concern over gangs, drugs, graffiti and youth-
related incidences of crime. Representatives from small business, industry, ministry, parents,
and school personnel were selected by the Commission's Advisor -- the Chief of Police -- and
eight sub-committees were established to address specific issues such as child safety, at-risk
youth, parents, fund raising, marketing, business and industry, and churches. As a result of
program activities and community awareness, the number of local gangs decreased from 17 to
8; local gang membership decreased from approximately 1,000 to about 300; juvenile arrests for
drug-related activity decreased from 70 to 35; and the senior high school recorded the highest
seat attendance in the Los Angeles Unified School District and a drop-out rate of under 7
percent. The junior high school, the nation's largest, placed in the top 2 percent of District seat
attendance and recorded a drop-out rate of below 2 percent.
South Lake Tahoe City Leadership Integrates Services for Healthier Living
The City of South Lake Tahoe fonned the Tahoe Prevention Network in 1990 as a collaborative
effort to solve community problems related to alcohol and drug abuse, community health, and
economic development. Based on a cabinet structure of 33 community and city representatives,
the Network improved service delivery to residents, avoided duplication of services, reduced
costs, and improved the quality of services. Eight projects, targeting low income and minority
populations and involving over 565 community members, leveraged over $3.2 million in grants
and endowments. Activities included the Tahoe Earthship project, building a community
structure from recycled materials; First Night, an alcohol and drug free New Years Eve
celebration; Healthy Start, improving academic perfonnance and access to community social
services; Project LEARN, reducing and preventing child abuse and neglect; Family Advocate,
improving access to health care, preventing substance abuse and improving employment
opportunities; Sober Grad Party, providing an alcohol free graduation party for high school
seniors; Boys and Girls Club, increasing opportunities for youth to participate in educational and
recreational activities; and Red Ribbon Week, promoting healthy living and substance prevention
activities.

1992
Half Moon Bay's Multi-Agency Effort Creates Complete Access Trail
The City of Half Moon Bay dedicated the first phase of its Coastside Trail Project on October
4, 1992, celebrating a four year cooperative effort by residents and three levels of government.
The 2.5 mile ribbon of all-weather, special paving material links north and central Half Moon
Bay and the downtown, providing access to all segments of the population and encouraging
exercise and recreation as well as providing alternative transportation linkages. Prior to
construction of the trail, it was impossible for the frail, the very young, or the physically
disabled to enjoy the bluffs along the length of the coastline except from a parking lot. In
addition, by acting as the developer and the project manager, the City coordinated construction
and maintenance agreements which resulted in consistency of design and economy of scale.
San Clemente Pilots Neighborhood Revitalization Program
The City of San Clemente initiated the Neighborhood Pride Program in response to the
community's concern over the deterioration of housing, abandoned vehicles and an increase in
crime within the center city. City Council directed the creation of a task force and the
designation of a five-block area which was not only one of high density but also the most
historic. Program activities included the mailing of 600 bilingual brochures informing residents
of goals and services; 7 public meetings to identify and respond to residents' concerns;
inspection of 203 properties and 429 dwelling units by code enforcement personnel, with 72
violations subsequently corrected by the property owner; donations from local banks for paint
including money and vouchers, resulting in 20 additional property improvements; $100,000 in
grants and gas tax monies to repair a street, build a sidewalk, and landscape a barren slope; and
the collection of 14 tons of trash on Clean-Up Day. Addressing both human needs and property
deterioration, the program was so successful that it was extended into 3 additional target areas
encompassing 52 streets, 1,212 properties and 3,584 dwelling units.
San Fernando Reclaims a Park from Gangs and Empowers Community
The City of San Fernando involved residents, private enterprise and City staff for the rebirth of
Las Palmas Park in 1990. Located in a crowded area of tiny, single-family homes, Las Palmas
Park was once a place for neighborhood children to play and adults to socialize. But more
recently, the park had become a battleground for two warring gangs, each laying claim to a
patch of land that once belonged to the public. The mayor and city council members adopted
a novel ordinance prohibiting active members of criminal street gangs from entering the park;
extended park employees' hours to organize more positive activities; heightened police presence;
removed gang graffiti; and supported community efforts in restoring the park as a community
asset.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Float Incorporated is the originator of FLOATPORT - the
proposal to locate San Diego's airport three miles off the
tip of Point Lorna. We would like to present the idea to the
City Council.
We are seeking to have the Council ask its San Diego Area
Governments (SANDA G) representative to request that a study
be done on the feasibility of FLOATPORT as an option for San
Diego's new airport. We have reason to believe that the FAA
would be happy to fund such a request.
Please echedule us on the City Council"s agenda at Your
earliest convenience.
Please send us the names and mailing addresses of the
Council members and we will provide an information package
for each of them so that they make an informed decision on
our request.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager (pIt- /.~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.1U
f,J) Council Referral No. 2726
In February, the City Council requested staff ~veral permit streamlining actions
which had been referred to staff for evaluation. One of the items directed~ Council was
to "prepare a draft ordinance which would provide an applicant with th~~ypass th:
*- ~onin&. Administrator ~d take applications directly to the Planning Commission".
- -
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the amendment is exempt from
environmental review under Section 15061 (b3) of the CEQA Guidelines. .
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the ordinance amending Section 19.14.050A of
the Municipal Code.
BOARDS/COM~NS RECOMMENDATION: On October 13, 1993, the Planning
Commission vo~o recommend that Council enact the amendment.
DISCUSSION:
Section 19.14.030 of the Municipal Code allows the Zoning Administrator to approve,
disapprove, or conditionally approve certain types of Conditional Use Permits, variances, site
plan and architectural approvals, zoning permits, and home occupation permits. Section
19.14.040 of the Municipal Code further provides that "the zoning administrator may, at hislher
option, refer any of the matters on which he/she is authorized to rule andlor issue a permit to
the planning commission for review. In such cases, a public hearing as provided herein shall
be mandatory."

Council requested staff to prepare a Code amendment which would provide that~ojecC)
a licant may also request that action by the Zonin Administrator be w. ,an t the
matter be sche u e or pu IC earing be ore e Planning Commission. This would allow an
ave the matter j!cheduled for a public hearing befQre the p[aning Commission
~ immediately \!pon filing of an apQ.licatioJ;!, rather than requiring an action by the Zoning
rim ator and appeal of that action to the Planning Commission. An applicant may wish
f~ to select this option if he or she is aware of significant public controversy regarding a proposal,
or is aware of conditions which may be imposed by the Zoning Administrator which are
unacceptable, based on preliminary input from City staff. By taking this approach, a public
hearing before the Planning Commission could be scheduled more quickly than if the applicant
were required to await action by the Zoning Administrator and file an appeal of that action.
The proposed amendment to Section 19.14.050.A would read as follows:

ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The City of Chula Vista Economic Development Commission was charged with making
recommendations for streamlining the development permit process. The EDC, in their final
report adopted by the City Council on October 6, 1992, recommended that the project review
authority of the Montgomery Planning Committee (MPC) be restricted to legislative changes to
the Montgomery Specific Plan, and then review their authority in the future to assess the
desireability of discontinuing the MPC altogether. The City Council did not accept this
recommendation (#17) and moved to appoint a two-member Council Subcommittee for the
purpose of reviewing the "forming ordinances", and developing a consensus on this item, and
another related recommendation (#16) regarding the future role and function of the
Redevelopment Project Area Committees.
To this end, the Redevelopment Agency Board revised the role and function of the Project Area
Committees on March 16, 1993, to restrict their review of projects to only those that require
discretionary land use approvals. Upon completion of that issue, it was appropriate to proceed
with the MPC item.
The Council Subcommittee was unable to reach a consensus on the disposition of the MPC and
therefore, requested that staff bring the item to Council for further direction. The matter was
heard on August 17, 1993, at which time the Council voted 3-2-0 to direct staff to dissolve the
Montgomery Planning Committee and to determine the appropriate process for seating the
remaining members of the MPC on the Southwest Project Area Committee (SWRPAC). The
final staff report from the August 17 meeting is attached as Exhibit B which provides more
extensive background information.
~7-/
Page 2, Item~ 7
Meeting Date ~ I/o/Y;J
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance which
repeals Section 2.48.200 of the Municipal Code thereby dissolving the Montgomery Planning
Committee, and that it be placed on the first reading.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: This item was presented at a Joint
Special Meeting of the Southwest Project Area Committee and the Montgomery Planning
Committee on October 18. Due to a lack of a quorum for both committees, no formal action
was taken. However, discussion of the item did take place as reflected in the draft minutes
attached as Exhibit A. To briefly sumrilarize, MPC member Scheurer voiced his opposition to
the proposed dissolution, but later said that he would have agreed to serve on the SWP AC if he
were not moving to Nevada within the next month. MPC member Platt was generally
supportive of the dissolution and would agree to serve on the SWRPAC because of the previous
action taken by the Council. SWRPAC Chair Brown was not supportive, nor was Dr. A.S.
McFarlin who is a member of both committees. The overall thrust of their opposition (as was
Member Scheurer's) was based on the fact that approximately 60% of the Montgomery area is
not covered by the SWRPAC, and therefore, they felt that that area would not be adequately
represented because no one on the Planning Commission lives in the area. Additionally, there
were concerns that the current authority and responsibility of the SWRPAC is significantly less
than that of the MPC.
DISCUSSION:
As indicated previously, Exhibit B is the fmal staff report to the City Council/Redevelopment
Agency for the August 17, 1993, meeting. After discussion of the options outlined in the report,
the Council voted in favor of Option 2 to dissolve the MPC, and then if possible, seat the
remaining members on the SWRPAC. Although Council took this action, this Public Hearing
is still required pursuant to the requirement in Section 2.48 that a public hearing is necessary
to amend or repeal this section.
In the event that the recommended action is taken, MPC member Platt can be seated on the
SWRPAC through a simple majority vote of the existing members (as noted above, MPC
member McFarlin is already a member of the SWRPAC). Staff would present this proposal at
the planned Special Meeting of the SWRP AC on November 15 based upon the Council direction
of August 17. This would leave two vacancies on the SWRPAC.
The overall purpose of this EDC item is to help streamline the development permit process by
not requiring that an applicant appear before both the MPC and the SWRPAC. The MPC has
served its original purpose of providing input for the planning transition process of the
Montgomery community into the City after its annexation from the County in 1986. All
applicable "Montgomery" area projects that are not located within the Southwest Project Area
would be processed through the Planning Commission and City Council.
.
FISCAL IMPACT: Undetermined, although this streamlining recommendation was proposed
in order to eliminate the staff time and costs associated with staffmg the committee.

5I1lEAMIJNlNG RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 17. The Chula Vista EDC established a subcommittee to
develop recommendations to streamline the City's development review process to create a more .user

future role and function of the Montgomery Planning Committee and the possible merger of the MPC with

Council/Agency member Fox stated he campaigned for the annexation of Montgomery' into the City of Chula
Vista. He had also been elected to serve on the Montgomery Planning Committee when it did annex. He
felt very strongly that Council should support permit streamlining in the City. However, he did not feel that
Council should be supporting streamlining in every situation, There were cases that called for leaving things

Committee would sunset. It was implied that the Committee would remain.
M (POX) to approve Option 1 to retain Ibe MPC as it was originally established. Motion died (or lack o( a

Mayor/Chair Nader stated that Mr. Fox had addressed the Montgomery side o( the issue. There was also
the Southwestern Project Area Committee side of the issue. He felt that we had an opportuniry to do some
streamlining and consolidation without breaking faith with the voters o( Montgomery who voted to annex
to the City o( Chula Vista. He supported the concept o( community planning groups. He recommended No.
4 under Exhibit A. This would say that as soon as the three-year period, which State law requires (or the
existence o( the Southwest PAC was over the Committee would be (o)ded into the Montgomery Planning
Committee. There would then be one combined Committee that would deal with the combined area of the
Southwest PAC and the Montgomery Planning area.
Council/Agency member Fox stated that after the PAC was terminated. you would have a Montgomery
Planning Committee that cou1d conceivably be composed of people who do not live in the area that was
annexed into the City. He took the strict view that there was an implied promise to the people of
Montgomery that they would have a community planning committee of their own. He felt that although
this was a good alternative, it was not what was promised to the people of Montgomery; he was not
prepared to water that down.
Council/Agency member Moore recommended Option 2 to dissolve the MPC and ask that the existing
SWPAC members vote to add the exiting MPC members to its committee.
MS (HORTONIRINDONE) to support Option 2 to dissolve the MPC and ask that the exiting SWPAC members
vote to add the existing MPC members to its committee. The committee would perform advisory functions
to the Redevelopment Agency on Southwest projects only punuant to Agency Resolution 1309.
Mayor/Chair Nader felt that the Southwest Project Area Committee did not encompass the entire
Montgomery area, there would be areas of the Montgomery community that would be without
representation. Regardless of what the minutes reflect. there were representations made that there would
be planning representation following annexation. He suggested that the Attorney look at whether the
community was entitled to some say in the dissolution of a committee.
SUBS1Tl1JTE MOTION: MS (NADERlFOX) to dissolve the Southwest Project Area Committee and merge
it into one Southwest Community Planning Committee at the end o( Ibe year. Substitute motion failed 2-3
(Horton. Moore, Rindone voting no).
VOTE ON MAIN MOTION: Approved 3-2 (Foz, Nader voting no).
Council/Agency member Moore stated he would like to see cOlTespondence sent over the Mayor's signature
to both Committees asking the three members to accept appointment or election to the Southwest Project
Area Committee and asking Southwest to review with staff the legal process and use those three to fill the
vacancies if we can do so within legal restrictions.
Mayor/Chair Nader asked for staff's assistance in preparing a letter along those lines to assure that it
complied with any legal restrictions.

REPORT:
On proposed dissolution of the Montgomery Planning Committee and seating of the
remaining members on the Southwest Project Area Committee
Mr. Haynes explained that in March of this year Council voted to keep the project area committees intact; but to
restrict their review authority to those projects that require discretionary land use approval. On August 17, Council
voted to dissolve the Montgomery Planning Committee (MPC) with the condition that the existing MPC members
be assimilated into the Southwest Project Area Committee (SWRP AC). Formal action has to be conducted through
a public hearing which is scheduled for November 2, 1993. Mr. Haynes asked that the members of the MPC
individualJy acknowledge their desire to be named to the SWRP AC.
Mr. Haynes also noted that there has not been much activity taking place in the Southwest Project Area and stated
he anticipates increased activity within the next few months including utilizing the Southwest PAC in formulating
recommendations for the proposed Economic Feasibility Study in the area.
Discussion ensued with members McFarlin and Brown voicing their concerns that part of the area (the area not
represented by the SWRP AC) would not have representation. They noted that the MPC and SWRP AC look at
projects from two different aspects (zoning and impacts) and by eliminating the MPC, a piece will be missing.
Mr. Haynes responded that Council's direction made it clear that the PAC's are to look at all projects that require
discretionary land use approvals. If an applicant wants to bring in a project that is not zoned for the proper use,
this will go to the PAC for review. When PAC's review projects, the environmental impacts wilJ be analyzed. If
the use is consistent with the zoning in the area, then that project would not go before the PAC.
Mr. Herrera-A emphasized that the area would not be left without representation. The Planning Commission
represents that area. The only difference would be that the project would not go through the MPC, it would go
directly to the Planning Commission.

Mr. Herrera-A also noted that Susan Fuller, a commissioner on the Planning Commission represents the
Montgomery area. Members Brown and McFarlin disagreed stating that Ms. Fuller was only involved in Chula
Vista "proper" areas. There needs to be an individual on the Planning Commission to voice the concerns of the
area. Ms. McFarlin stated she felt that the only group representing the area were those on the MPC. She said that
those original members dropped out because they could see the "handwriting on the wall". In response to
Councilman Moore's question for clarification, Ms. McFarlin said that they saw the committee was going to be
nullified. The committee felt they had no say in w~t was happening in the co~unity. She noted that the MPC
had the power to stop certain projects and the SWRP AC does not have that ability.
.
Ms. McFarlin stated that they are talking about a different group of people, a different population of people that
live in the Montgomery area. They do not feel their concerns are being met. Eliminating the MPC leaves them
with no representation. Ms. Brown added that putting single individuals on committees does not work because one
vote does not do anything. They need to be concerned about the people in their community and in fact, has a
responsibility to represent their concerns. She does not care about what is happening in EastLake or elsewhere, she
just cares about what is happening in her community.
Councilman Moore responded that Council never knew in advance that the MPC was going to be dissolved. They
had received a good response from the MPC on various issues and could only recall one time when Council vetoed
a recommendation from the MPC (Orange/Palomar intersections). Councilman Moore also stated that no one from
that area has been interested in serving on the Planning Commission; Mr. Tony Castro had been approached and
had been asked to consider applying for the Planning Commission but had declined. Council was dissolving/merging
this committee to cut down on duplicity. Right now applicants have to go through as many as four committees for
project review before they go before Council.
Ms. McFarlin asked how fast plans were going through since the committee's last meeting in December. Mr.
Haynes responded that due to the general economy there have been no applications coming through that would
necessitate review by the SWRPAC since last year (December). Mr. Haynes indicated that there have been plenty
of calls from brokers etc., bu no applications for CUP's,etc. have been filed that have made it far enough in the
process for PAC review
Mr. Herrera-A noted that they have had to pass on items for review because of lack of quorums.
Councilman Moore also noted that a revitalization project had also been started right after annexation in 1985. The
goal was to look at five different communities: Otay, Harborside, Castle Park, Broderick Acres and Woodlawn
Park. This is another way to bring the City together. The people in these areas were introduced to other
commissioners and staff and were able to deal directly with those departments concerned.
Ms. Brown stated that this was a program that the MPC had come up with a program that was similar to the
Revitalization Program. They had decided one thing and Council decided another. Councilman Moore responded
that Council had met with residents in the five different communities and responded to the needs of those areas based
on a formula by using the residential population in the area and census tracts. Councilman Moore noted that
Council responds to all the people in the community, not just the MPC and its needs.
Mr. Herrera-A stated that the five communities chosen were based on a formula established by Community
Development. The community that was selected (Otay Town) was taken because of the single family dwelling unit.
Woodlawn Park is being considered and right now Community Development is looking at what community will be
next.
Member Platt stated that the representation has been his main concern and it looks as if a decision has been made
and there is nothing more that can be done. He is in favor of going ahead and merging with the SWRP AC.
.
Ms. Brown stated they have no choice; DO one is listening.
Mr. Herrera- A stated that a final decision has not been made by Council although they did take action to disband
the MPC. It does have to go through a formal hearing and at that time Council will make a final decision.

In response to Mr. LaGuardia's comment that 60% of Montgomery was represented by the group, Mr. Haynes
explained that in terms of land area, the area is represented at 40% with the other 60% being represented by the
Planning Commission.
At Ms. Brown's request, Mr. Herrera-A brought in maps of the areas represented by the Planning Commission and
the Southwest Project Area Committee. Ms. Brown again voiced her concern that 60 % of the Montgomery area
would fall under the Planning Commission, who had no representative from their area. She stated that they are
not given detailed information as to what is going on in the area.
Mr. LaGuardia suggested that she contact staff in Planning and check on what is being filed and what is going on
in the area; these are all public documents. They could also look into possibly recruiting someone in real estate to
sit on the committee. Ms. Brown responded that she teaches during the day and is involved in many other
committees and said that getting this information should not be her responsibility. The City should get the
information to them; they should not have to be required to do any type of research. Mr. LaGuardia responded that
neighborhoods can organire groups to get the information; it is not necessary to form committees to do this.
7. MEMBERS' COMMENTS
a. Member Scheuer stated that this would be his last meeting. He is moving to Nevada next month. Mr.
Scheuer thanked Councilman Moore for his help in getting him on the MPC. He thanked the committee

SUBMITI'ED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND: The Chula Vista Economic Development Commission (EDC) established a
subcommittee to develop recommendations to streamline the City's development review process
in order to create a more "user friendly" environment for business development. One of the
twenty-five EDC recommendations (Recommendation #17) concerned the future role and
function of the Montgomery Planning Committee (MPC) and the possible merger of the MPC
with the Southwest Project Area Committee (SWPAC). A copy of the relevant portion of the
EDC report is included for review as Exhibit C.
The City Council at the October 6, 1992 meeting, moved to accept the responsibility of
reviewing the duties and "forming ordinances" of the MPC and the three (3) Project Area
Committees (PACs), and authorized two members of the Council to meet with all of the parties
concerned in order to formulate a consensus on these matters. Subsequently, the Agency
Members adopted Resolution 1309 on March 16, 1993, approving the revised roles and functions
for each of the PACs pursuant to EDC Permit Streamlining Recommendation #14. Based upon
the revised roles and functions, this report presents a list of alternatives for the future role of
the MPC based on the Council Subcommittee report to staff and included as Exhibit A.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Council subcommittee that the City Council
discuss the alternatives presented in the report and provide additional direction to staff.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: EDC Permit Streamlining
Recommendation #17 (see Exhibit C), recommended that the review authority of the MPCbe
restricted to legislative changes to the Montgomery Specific Plan, and then review their authority
in three (3) years to determine the desirability of discontinuing the MPC. In addition, as part
of the discussion, it was acknowledged that the City Attorney was currently reviewing the
possibility of merging the MPC and the SWPAC which would be dependent upon the ultimate
outcome of EDC Recommendation #14 (pACs role and function).

DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Agency Resolution 1309 (attached as Exhibit B), the Agency Members voted to keep
the PACs intact and also provided a clearer definition of their roles and responsibilities.
Therefore as a result of that action, the Southwest PAC is to remain in existence beyond its
statutorily required three (3) year term pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment
Law. That decision affects the discussion of this item by further defining the question of should
the two cOmmittees be merged, or if the MPC should remain intact or be dissolved.
Attached as Exhibit A is the City Council Subcommittee report. As indicated in the report, the
MPC was originally established as a community planning committee to assist in the development
of a community planning element of the General Plan. Council action was taken to appoint the
top seven (7) vote getters to two (2) year initial terms, with subsequent terms to be filled by
appointment of the City Council. Currently, the MPC has only three (3) members, and
therefore, cannot functionally take definitive action on items affecting the Montgomery area.
The original purpose of the MPC has been fulfilled with the adoption of the Montgomery
Specific Plan.
As also stated in the Council Subcommittee Report, the Subcommittee was not able to agree on
a recommendation for this item. Therefore, as instructed, the following list of alternatives with
respective advantages and disadvantages is provided for evaluation and discussion.
Option 1:
Retain the MPC as it was originally established and take swift action to f1I1
the vacant positions as soon as possible. Keep the SWPAC in its current
state pursuant to Agency Resolution 1309.
...
Advantal!es:
1. Direct community representation for input on projects and issues that affect the
Montgomery Community.
2. MPC has historically been the conduit or vehicle the community has used to address
specific Montgomery community concerns to the City Council and City Departments.
3. Maintain the long-term history of direct representation as through the Montgomery Fire
Protection District and the Metropolitan Area Advisory committees.
Disadvantal!es:
I. Projects that fall within the boundaries of the MPC and the SWP AC, would continue to be
reviewed by both committees, and therefore, be in conflict with the EDC Permit
-g'-
Page 3, Item 3
Meeting Date~!:9.~!!}!!2~"!
Streamlining recommendation.
2. Negative impact on staff time and City costs to staff three (3)'related committees in the
area: 1) Otay Committee 2) MPC and 3) SWPAC.
3. Negative financial impact on project proponents with the necessity to attend an additional
meeting which could require the attendance of costly project consultants.
Option 2:
Dissolve the MPC and ask that the existing SWPAC members vote to add
the existing MPC members to its committee. * The committee would
perform advisory functions to the Redevelopment Agency on Southwest
projects only pursuant to Agency Resolution 1309.
Advantages:
1. Spirit of the EDC Permit Streamlining recommendation would be served.
2. Indirect community representation would be present through the absorption of MPC
members into the SWPAC which covers approximately 40% of the entire MPC area.
3. Staff time and City costs would be reduced by eliminating one (1) of the three (3)
committees for the area.
4. Remove a project processing cost for project proponents.
Disadvantages:
1. Lose the advantages stated in Option 1.
2. Up to 60% of the Montgomery Area could be unrepresented, except at the Planning
Commission level, for projects occurring outside of the Southwest Project Area.
3. Community project and planning input in the initial stages would be limited to
redevelopment projects.
* Note: There are three (3) current vacancies on the SWPAC, and therefore could
accommodate the three (3) remaining MPC members.
..
Option 3:
Retain the MPC but take action to merge the MPC members into the
SWPAC and combine their respective roles and functions. The three (3)
MPC members would wear "two hats" and have voting rights on all items
brought before them as either the MPC or as the SWPAC. The balance of
the committee members would have voting rights on SWPAC items only.
Advantal!es:
1. Retain all of the advantages listed in Option 1, however, the Montgomery "representation"
would be limited to three (3) slots on the combined committee.
2. All of the disadvantages of Option 1 would be eliminated.
Disadvantages:
-9-
Page 4, Item .3
Meeting Date!'I!~rt2:m~'j;~
1. Agenda could be long and require substantial staff time and City costs from both the
Community Development and Planning Departments. ,
2. Administration of the committee would be difficult and confusing with only three (3)
members able to vote on Montgomery issues.
3. Additional policy questions would need'to be addressed regarding the future membership
and the corresponding voting rights of the committee members as vacancies occur.
4. Coul1 be confusing to the public.
Option 4:
Retain the MPC as in Option 3, however, all members of the "new"
committee would wear "two hats" and have voting rights on all items
brought before them as the MPC or as the SWPAC.
Advanta!!es:
1. Retain all of tl1e advantages listed in Option 1, with the added benefit (over Option 3) that
all members of the committee would have MPC voting rights.
2. All of the Option 1 disadvantages would be eliminated.
3. Option 3 disadvantages (except #1) would be eliminated.
.
Disadvanta!!es:
1. Agenda could be lengthy and require substantial staff time and City costs from both the
Community Development and Planning Departments.
2. Montgomery representation would not be as direct as under Option I since not all
committee members will be required to be residents of Montgomery.
3. Additional policy questions would need to be addressed regarding the future "slots" (ie.,
business owner, resident, at-large etc.,) to be included in the structure of the "new"
. committee and filled as vacancies occur.
F1SCAL IMPACT: Undetermined. However, the EDC Recommendation was made in order
to streamline the project review process by avoiding project review duplication and confusion.
Option 2 is the only option that would-reduce the financial impact on City staff time and costs,
while Options 1, 3, and 4 would have varying degrees of fIScal impacts.

COUNCIL SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT ON
MONTGOMERY"PL~NNING COMMISSION FUTURE

EXHIBIT A-

~ ~b.'+ 13
~.I
- ,. 11. ~
In response to the City Economic "Development commission's report to
Council on reducing the applicants and City staff cost in
processing land use processing time, the Council appointed Mayor
Nader and Councilman Moore as a subcommittee to review the three
proj ect Area Contini ttees and the Montgomery Planning Committee.
This report is a follow-up of recently approved PAC's report and
sub-committees alternatives on the future of the Montgomery
Planning Committee which involves the Southwest Project Area and
associated PAC.
Your subcommittee agreed to disagree and reached a consensus to
present to the Council as an agenda item listing various
alternatives without bias. Our report will be combined with a
typical staff A-113 report and staff will present the pros and cons
for each alternative. Supporting background information including
City ordinances, resolutions and agenda items involving verbiage
that notes directions the council of 1985 was pursuing. It's to be
noted the MPC had a number of resignations resulting in having only
three of seven members, thereby not having a quorum for
approximately a-year-.
(..:,,' ..".' ::: ..
BACKGROUND: December 30, 1992 marked the seventh year of the
committee. In those seven years, the primary function in forming
the committee (Council agenda 7/2/85) was completed, to develop a
community element of the General Plan, resulting in the "MONTGOMERY
SPECIFIC PLAN". In the pursuit of that extensive and demanding
element, the community's own local residents worked well with area
property owners proving the committee's value during this initial
transition period following annexation.
Like, the City's General Plan major updates, the process was
lengthy, involving mayor changes in zoning in favor of and adverse
to property owners. In addition to this major effort, various
other land use projects of somewhat routine also came before the
committee including their recommendations regarding Capital
Improvement Projects and Block Grant fund allocations.
..
The following alternatives regarding the "MPC are set forth without
priority or bias by the subcommittee:
1. Retain Committee with land use role as per original
purpose. Continue to be initial contact for property
owners arid residents of original annexed area. Fill
vacancies soon,.
.
Dissolve committee having successfully completed it's
primary function. Retain existing' talent through legal
processing remaining members into the southwest
Redevelopment Project Area Committee presently having 3-4
vacancies. The Southwest PAC involves about 40% of ex-
fire district plus car dealer property north of ilL"

Street.
3. Retain committee with specific role and function but
merqe present 3 members into Southw~st PAC for
continuity, combine role and function, with MPC members
wearing two hats - serving two roles:
a. MPC members serving as Southwest PAC with PAC
agenda
b. MPC members serving as MPC with MPC agenda.
c. Consider dissolvement of MPC 12/30/95 (tenth
anniversary)
4. As per No. 3 but at end of the 3-year state required PAC
(December 1993), the two membership and function would be
combined. The new committee would then advise
Council/Agency regarding land use -covering combined
redevelopment and Fire District area.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION LEADING TO MONTGOMERY ANNEXATION,TO
CHUL~ VIST~ ~ND EST~BLISHING THE MONTGOMERY ~RE~ P~NNING COMMITTEE
1) Council meeting of 7/2/85
Discussion and direction to staff noting 6/15/85 meeting
directed staff to set a public hearing to consider
forming a Community Planning committee for Montgomery
are~ if annexed. An ordinance providinq Council option
to 'commit to appointinq top vote qetters in an advisory
election.
2) THE PRIMARY AND INITIAL FUNCTION OF THE P~NNING
COMMITTEE - to develop a community element of the General
Plan. (results: the Montgomery Specific Plan)
3) Verbiage, not action as to, how lonq such a committee
miqht continue to function
Important for council to contemplate expanding all City
boards and commissions to help facilitate the
assimilation of the community into the City and mitiqate
the lonq term need for a special planninq committee.
4) The above action accomplished on 7/16/85, Ordinance No.
2119, committing the City Council to appoint top seven
(7) vote getters, would be elected to oriqinal 2-vear
terms but subsequent terms would be filled bv appointment
bv the City Council.
NOTE:
1. The above would indicate the'MPC would phase out at an
,undetermined time with assimilation of area residents
into City commissions and committees. with the Southwest
PAC in place and the size of the project area, the ppase
out of this time with all things considered is
appropriate and merger of MPC members will provide
excellent talent. ~
2. Committee/Commission data notes there are now
approximately 30 residents of the past fire district
serving Chula Vista within the various commissions that
are the basis for formulating City policies and
procedures.

CITY COUNCIL 'POSITION PAPER ON THE
PROPOSED MONTG0!1ERY ANNEXATION
-
September 24. 1985
On November 5. 1985. the citizens (if the San Diego County area currently
within the Montgomery Fire Protection District will be voting on the issue of
annexation to the City of Chula Vista. The Chula Vista Ci~ Council has
adopted this Mposition paper" in order to:
Establish the City's policies related to the potential annexation of
the area; .
Help the residents of the area understand what effects annexation
would have on them;
Assist. City officials in answering questions concerning the proposed
annexation;
..,
Provide early planning that would help assure a smooth transition of
the area into the City if its residents vote to annex to Chula Vista. .
The City's underlying policies regarding the potential annexation of the area.
currently served by the Montgome~ Fire Protection District are:
1. Revenues generated in Montgome~ will be spent in Montgorne~ to
provide the area with the same level of municipal services as the
rest ~f the City and to provide for an extensive capital improvement
.program to upgrade public facilities in the area such as curbs.
gutters. sidewalks. roads. drainage systems. and parks.
2. Recognizing the uniqueness and size of this potential annexation. the
City will provide special processes to insure a smooth transition of
the area into the Ci~.
The remainder of this document summarizes the City's pJlicies regarding
specific seryice and fiscal questions related to the proposed annexation. The
issues will be discussed in the following categories: .
...
Zoning and Development Issues
Public Safety
Social and Leisure Services
- Public facilities
- fiscal Issues
Miscellaneous Issues

\..
A. ZONIIIG MID DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
1. HOW WILL LAND USES IN THE AREA CURRENTLY WITHIN THE MOIITGOMERY FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT BE CHANGED UPON ANNEXATION TO tHE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA? "
:-
County zoning regulations wil1 'continue to prevaH white a study is
conducted to determine the relationship of existing development.
County zoning regulations and proposed City zoning for 'the area. The
Montgomery Planning Committee will review these issues and roake
recormnendations to the Planning Comnission and City CouncH on a
proposed zoning plan. Public hearings will be conducted to help
develop the zoning plan.
Existing legal land uses in the area wi 11 not be changed. Those
legal land uses that do not conform to the governing zon1ng
regulations will be allowed to remain as nonconforming land uses as
long as the use remains in operation.
2. HOW WILL ZONING ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA BE CARRIED OUT UPON
ANNEXATION TO THE CITY?
While County zoning continues to apply. the City witt enforce the,
County zoning standards. This will probably be done by responding to
complaints in regard to zoning violations. When the City zoning
takes effect, the City will then enforce the City standards in the
area. with existing legal land uses allowed to continue, as described ~
in Question 1.
3. WILL THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM (CHIP) IN THE AREA BE
CHANGED UPON ANNEXATION?
It appears that the present Housing Rehabilitation Program being
administered by the County will be extended for at least one more
year. After that the City will expand its program, which is equal to
or better than the County program, into the area.
4. WILL ALL OR PART OF THE AREA BE ESTABLISHED AS A REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AFTER ANNEXATION? ... ' .
As part of an agreement with the County, the City has agreed not to
fonn a Redevelopment Project that would include any area currently
served by the riontgomery Fire Protection District for at least four
years after the effective date of the annexation. Redevelopment
would require broad community support in a joint pUblic/private
sector effort. The City would work with the cOlIII\unity to detennine
the desirability and feasibility of redevelopment.

5. HOW WILL THE MONTGOMERY PLANNING CO/folImE BE INTEGRATED INTO THE
CITY'S PLANNING PROCESS AFTER ANNEXATION?
'-
The Montgomery Pl anni ng Committee will functi on as an advf sory body
to the Planning Commission and City Council for issues affecting the
area. The Committee. will fonnulate recommendations on all types of
land use applications filed within the area. In addition. the
Committee will be charged with the responsibility of recommending a
Community Plan for the area.
'Primary staffing for the Montgomery Planning Committee will come from
the City's Planning and Engineering Departments. In addition.
Community Development and other City departments would support this
effort as needed.
B. PUBLIC SAFETY
6.. WHAT LEVEL OF POLICE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
The City will provide police protection equivalent to that provided
in the City. At least 25 positions will be added to the City's
Police Department in order to bring the area's police service up to a
level equivalent to that provided in the City. The additional Police
Department positions would include at least the following:
-'
15 Patrol Staff
4 Investigative Staff
1 Evidence Technician
1 Communication Operator
1 Animal Control Officer
3 Clerical Staff
~ Additional Police Positions
7.
WHAT LEVEL OF FIRE PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
There' will be no change in the area's level of fire prevention and
suppression service. .Both the Chula Vista and Montgomery fire
Protection District firefighters receive the same type of training
and all are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMf).
The Fire Protection District will .be dissolved on the effective date
of the annexation. when the City will assume responsibility for fire
protection in the area. The City will continue to operate the
existing Fire Protection District station on Oxford Street.

8. WHAT lEVEL OF ANIMAL CONTROL .SERVICE WIll BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA
UPON ANNEXATION? ..........
The City will provide the same level of animal. control service
provided to Chula Vista residents including. patrols~rvices from 6:30
a.m. to 6:30 p.m. most weekdays and on Saturday afternoons. The
animal shelter is located at 690 Otay Valley Road and is normally
open 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to
noon on Sa turday. .
C. SOCIAl AND:lEISURE SERVICES
9. HOW WIll LIBRARY SERVICE BE PROVIDED IN .THE AREA UPON ANNEXATION?
No change is expected in the foreseeable. future in the level of
libra~ service provided in the area. Residents of the area
currently borrow almost as many books from the Chula Vista Public
library (59,000 per year) as fror.l the two County branch libraries
(63,000) in Castle Park and Woodlawn. The City and County have
agreed to keep the two County branch libraries open for the
foreseeable future after annexation by keeping the area withi n the
existing County libra~ District. Under this agreement, the City
will pay the County the difference between the operating cost of the
two branch libraries and the District's revenue generated in the area.
The City is already planning to conduct a comprehensive facilities
study which will include libra~ facilities and will examine ongoing __
community needs regarding library services. Upon annexation the area
will be included in this City-wide study to establish a plan for
appropriate long-term library services and facilities.
10. WHAT lEVEL OF RECREATION SERVICES WIll BE PROVIDED UPON ANNEXATION?
The City will enter into negotiations with MAAC, the County's current
contractor, to continue providing programs at the lauderbach
Community Center. To complement those programs, the City will offer
more general recreation services at the Center and will start
providing weekend cl asses and recreational opportunities.. In
addition, the City will provide after school playground programs at
both the lauderbach and r~ontgome~ elementa~ school s. The after
school playground programs already being provided by the City at the
Harborside, Rice, Castle Park. and Otay elementary schools will
continue to be available to area residents.
11. VllAT LEVEl OF PARK SERVICE WILL BE 1'ROYIDED UPON ANNEXATION~
The City will maintain the existing parks adjacent to the lauderbach
and Woodlawn Community Centers. either by contract or by City staff.
The City would also strive to increase the amount of park acreage
from the area's current ratio of 0.2 acres per thousand population to
the City's standard of 2.0 acres per thousand population.

D. PUBLIC FACILITIES
.....:. 12. HOW WILL THE CITY UPGRADE THE MONTGOMERY AREA WITH THE REVENUES
GENERATED IN THE AREA AFTER ANNEXATION?
The City will work with the. Montgomery Planning Com~ittee to
establish a multi-year phased capital improvement program aimed a;'
upgrading public facilities in the area such as curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, roads, drainage systems, and parks. The total cost of the
program is expected to exceed $12 million with the City using Gas Tax
Funds, Community Development Block Grant funds, general funds, and
other sources to finance the capital improvements. The City intends
to spend three to five times as much as the County currently does on
annual capital improvements.
The County has agreed that any Community Development Block Grant
proj ects funded pri or to annexati on and under constructi on . wi 11 be
completed by the County. .
Assessment districts can also be formed for street improvements if
desired by the community. However, for at least ten years after the
effective date of the annexati on, the City Council will not fonn an
assessment di stri ct in the r~ontgomery area for street improvements
(curbs, gutters, sidewalks, or pavement) unless property owners.
representing at least 2/3 of the area in the proposed district
support its formation.
13. WHAT LEVEL OF STREET MAINTENANCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION?
,
."
Overall street maintenance will improve upon annexation, since the
City's maintenance standards are considerab)y higher than the
County's. Potholes will be repaired more frequently, streets will be
resurfaced more frequently, and shoulders on unimproved streets will
be bladed (leveled) more frequently.
The City will extend its "chip seal" program, which has received
nationwide acclaim, to roads in the area. Major streets will be chip
sealed every 8 to 10 years and local streets every 15 to 20 years.
In addition, the City will upgrade and .expand its existing
synchronized (computerized) traffic signal system into the area,
which currently does not have synchronized traffic signals.
14. WHAT LEVEL OF SlREET SWEEPING WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE AREA UPON
. ANNEXATION?
The City will provide the same level of street sweeping services
provided to the rest of the City. Streets in residential areas will
be swept twice a month and streets in commercial areas three times a
week. Street sweeping is currently not provided in the area on any
regular schedule.

15. WILL THE CITY'S STREET TREE PROGRAM BE EXTENDED INTO THE AREA UPON
ANNEXATION? ..---.
-
The City, which has been designated a MTree Ci ty'~USA. each of the
last five years, will extend its street tree program into the area.
The City will trim all street and parle trees on a regular basis.
Street trees in the area are cOrrently trimmed only when hazardous
conditions require it.
16. HOW WIll STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE IN THE AREA BE
AFFECTED BY ANNEXATION?
Storm drain construction will be accelerated, drainage maintenance
improved, and flooding potential decreased. A comprehensive drainage
plan and capital improvement program will be developed for the area
as has been done for the rest of the City.
The City will expend approximately $4 million following annexation as
its share of the Telegraph Canyon Channel improvement to be
constructed with the U. S. Corps of Engineers.
17. WHAT WIll HAPPEN TO THE MONTGOMERY SEWER DISTRICT AND TO SEWER FEES
UPON ANNEXATION? .
There will be no change in regular sewer service charges for the near
future. On July 1, 1986, the Montgomery Sanitation (Sewer) District
will be dissolved and the City will talee over sewer maintenance. ......
Montgomery Sewer District reserves will be placed in a separate
account and used to maintain and benef.it the existing Montgomery
sewer system. The sewer connection fee will be reduced from $1,000
to $300 per single family dwelling. As Montgomery Sewer District
reserves are depleted, the City will review existing Montgomery sewer
service and sewer connection charges and may establi sh .new charges
that reflect the maintenance costs and charges for the City-wide
system.
18. WHAT WIU- HAPPEN TO THE STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT AND RElATED FEES
UPON ANNEXATION?
,
The City will assume responsibility for street lighting in the area
within a year of annexation, and the area will be removed from the
County's Streetlight District. At that time, the. City will pay for
street lighting, and residents and businesses in the area will no
longer be required to pay a special street lighting fee.

20. IF THE AREA DECIDES TO ANNEX. HOW WILL THE CITY USE REVENUES FROM
THE AREA?
. .' """"
Revenues generated in ~Iontgomery will be spent in Montgomery to
provide the area with the same level of municipal'. services as the
rest of the City and to provide for an extensive capital improvement
program to upgrade public facfl ities in the area such as curbs.
gutters. sidewalks. roads. drainage systems. and parts:
The area currently is flaying significantly more in taxes and fees
than .:it is receiving in services and capital improvements. . The
County uses its surpl:Js revenue!. fr"m the area to provide services
and programs in other parts of the County.
F. MISCELLANEOUS
21. HOW WILL ANNEXATION AFfECT EXISTING TRASH SERVICE TO THE AREA?
Area residents wil~ rel:eive the level of trash service currently
provided by the Sanitary Service. This level of service is
guaranteed to be delivered by the State Government Code for a minimum
of five years after annexation or until such time as the existing
franchise holder sells his franchise. The City will attempt to
renegotiate the. existing trash collection fees in the area to the
same. lower rate currently paid by Chula Vista res~dents.
22. HOW WILL THE CITY'S MOBILEHOME RElIT MEDtATION PROCESS APPLY TO THE
AREA UPON ANNEXATIGN?
~
The Ci ty' s Mobil ehome SpO!ce Rent Medi ati on Ordi nance wfl 1 become
effective in the area upon annexation. The County has no similar
procedures for negotiating dis?uted rent increases in mobflehome
parks.
The City's ordinance provides th~t ~hen a ~umulative rent increase in
a calendar year exceeds the previous :2 months' residential rent
component of the Consunler Price Index. a negotiation/mediation
process may be initiated if a ma~or~ty of a ~erk's residents sign a
petition disputing the ,'ent increase. The process requires
participation by both par-ties in the negotiation and mediation
process. The results of the process are not binding.
In addition. the City has establish~d a Mobilehome Issues Committee.
which is composed of jlark owners and park residents. The COl1l11ittee
meets monthly to discuss issues related to mobf1ehome l1fe and to
advise the City Council on such issues.

AREAS: NO. 42 (ZONES A & B)-WOODLAWN PARK; NO. 62-MONTGOMERY PARKS;
NO. 66-VALLEY AVENUE; AND NO. 98-DATE COURT? '
_.
County Service Areas No. 42, 62, 66 and 98 will be dissolved upon
annexation and the City will assume responsibfl i ty. Simil arly, the
area will be removed from the County Fl ood Control Di stri ct and the
City will assume responsibility.
G. SPECIAL TRANSITION PROCESSES
24. WHEN WILL l1IE ANNEXATION BECOME EFFECTIVE AND HOW WILL THE
TRANSITION FROM l1IE COUNTY TO l1IE CITY BE HANDLED?
If the citizens of the area currentlY within the Montgomery Fire
Protection District vote on November 5, 1985 to annex to Chula Vista,
the annexation will become effective by the end of December 1985.
In order to provide the area with . the. same level of municipal
services as the rest of Chu1a Vista, the City win hire many
additional staff and purchase a significant amount of equipment. To,
provide adequate time to obtain this staff and equipment, the City
may contract with the County to continue providing some services for
a few months. By 'July 1, 1986, however, the City intends to provide
virtually all municipal services to the area, as described previously
in this document.
-
To help insure a smooth transition of the area into Chu1a Vista, the
City will also provide several other special processes. The
Montgomery Planning Committee will be established as an advisory
committee to the Planning Commission and City Council for the area.
The C01lU1littee will formulate a recommended Conrnunity Plan, provide
reconrnendations for all types of land use applications filed in the
area, and help develop a multi-year capital improvement program to
upgrade public facilities in the area.
The- City also will temporarily add one qualified member, to be
appointed from the MOjitgomery area, to each of the City's twelve
non-Charter established advisory boards and conrnissions. Jhe number
of members on these advisory boards and conrnissions would revert to
.the previous number when the member appointed from the Montgomery
area could be assimilated within the regular number of members.
The City Council holds meetings in Chula Vista's Civic Center on the
first four Tuesdays of every month. The meeting on the first Tuesday
of each month is held at 4:00 p.m. and the other regular meetings are
at 7:00 p.m. One portion of each meeting is devoted to Oral
C01IU1Iunications, when members of the audience are invited ,to address
the Council on items of concern to them. This forum will provide an
additional opportunity to help insure that the City meets the needs
of new as well as current Chula Vista residents.

(4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.lO
The applicant, American Stores Properties, Inc., parent company of the Lucky stores, has
submitted applications to amend the General Plan and rezone 5.8 acres at the southwest comer
of Third Avenue and "J" Street. The proposal is to redesignate the site from Professional and
Administrative Office to Retail Commercial, and to rezone the site from C-O Commercial Office
and R-l Single Family to C-C Central Commercial.
The proposal reflects an intention by Lucky to relocate from their existing site at the northwest
comer of Third and "J" into a new, larger facility on the southwest comer. The property is
currently occupied by the First United Methodist Church which intends to relocate to a new
facility on East "H" Street at Paseo Ranchero.

The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-93-42, of potential
environmental impacts associated with the project. Based on the attached Initial Study and
comments thereon, the Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that any potentially
significant environmental impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance and, therefore,
recommends adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on IS-92-42.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt .the resolution and ordinance amending the General Plan from Professional
and Administrative Commercial to Retail Commercial, and rezoning from C-O and R-l to C-C-
P, 5.8 acres located on the southwest comer of Third Avenue and "I" Street.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
On October 13, 1993, the Planning Commission voted 5-1-1 (Salas against; Tuchscher abstained
due to conflict of interest) to approve the applicant's request and recommend that the City
Council amend the General Plan and Rezone 5.8 acres located at the southwest comer of Third
Avenue and "I" Street in accordance with the draft City Council resolution and ordinance
(minutes attached).
On October 11, 1993, the Resource Conservation Commission approved the Negative
Declaration issued on IS-93-43 by a 4-1 vote (Guerreiro voting against). See attached minutes.
PUBUC INPUT
On December 8, 1992, the applicant held an independent public forum on the project, and on
August 4, 1993, the Planning Department held a second public forum at the First United
Methodist Church. A summary of the issues raised at both forums and correspondence received
by the Planning Department is included in the "Public Input" attachment to this report. Both the
Planning Commission and City Staff are satisfied that the issues raised by the area residents have
been resolved by the recommended Precise Plan Standards.
DISCUSSION:
The 5.8 acre site is rectangular in shape and is located at the southwest comer of Third Avenue
and "I" Street. It presently contains a church sanctuary, assembly hall, meeting rooms,
classrooms, parking and a single family dwelling at the northwest comer of the parcel. The
property also contains an area which the Chula Vista Post Office presently leases to
accommodate its current employee parking demand. The Postmaster is presently investigating
the possibility of relocating the employee parking to a parcel located immediately adjacent to the
south.
~ O",;z

Meeting Dat~ 1/ i ~
The site is bounded to the west by single family dwellings, to the south by the Post Office and
Masonic Lodge, to the north across "J" Street by the present Lucky store and a condominium
complex, and to the east by various professional offices (see Land Use Map).
Present zoning is as follows:
Site c-o Office Commercial
R-I Single Family Residential
North C-C Central Commercial
R-3 Multi-Family Residential
South c-o Office Commercial
East C-O Office Commercial
West R-I Single Family Residential
(See Zoning Map)
General Plan land use designations are as follows:
Site Professional and Administrative office
North Retail Commercial/Low Medium Density Residential
South Retail Commercial/Medium High Density Residential
East Professional and Administrative Commercial
West Low Medium Density Residential
(see General Plan map).
Lucky presently leases the 1.5 acre site and a 45,000 sq, ft. building across "J" Street directly
to the north. Their present site and building are, by today's standards, outdated. The new
facility would involve a 60,000 sq. ft. building on 5.8 acres to serve the same market area,
according to Lucky.
Lucky has prepared a preliminary conceptual plan which was presented at the public forums and
which has been included with this report. However, they have not fmalized a site plan or
architecture. A number of residents in attendance at the City initiated public forum appeared
to favor a new store, but expressed concerns about hours of operation, noise and fumes
generated by delivery activities, and the proximity of the truck driveway to the residences
located immediately adjacent to the west. They also expressed concerns with certain operational
aspects associated with the existing store, which include the noise associated with a cardboard
box compactor and the smell and litter associated with trash bins. Concerns were also expressed
regarding the history of accidents at the 3rd and "J" intersection and the ability of "J" Street to
carry additional traffic generated by a larger new store.

ANALYSIS
The issues raised with respect to the proposed change from office to retail commercial include
(1) the need to retain office commercial acreage versus the need for more retail commercial
acreage in the area, and (2) the compatibility of retail commercial with adjoining uses,
particularly the residential area adjoining the site to the west.
In regard to the issue of office versus retail commercial acreage, the City as a whole, excluding
Planned Community Districts, contains over 72 acres of vacant or under developed office
commercial property, and over 125 acres of vacant or underdeveloped retail commercial
property. The Third A venue commercial corridor also contains a significant amount of
underdeveloped retail and office commercial property. Thus, there does not appear to be a
general unmet need or demand for either office or retail commercial, either on a city-wide basis
or in the iminediate area.
The most important factor with regard to need or demand, however, it not the total available
acres, but the suitability of a particular property for a particular use. In this case, the site is one
of the few if not the only commercial sites available on Third A venue which is large enough and
of such a shape to accommodate a major retail user. In addition, the change will allow Lucky
to upgrade and modernize, and continue to serve the same market area. In a general sense,
smaller sites are suitable for most office projects, whereas larger-scale retail development needs
added site depth to meet parking and building designs.
Also, the General Plan and zoning pattern along both sides of Third Avenue between "E" and
"L" Streets is predominantly retail commercial with the exception of the office commercial areas
between "R" and Kearney Streets, which includes the site in question. The vast majority of
these commercial frontages adjoin both single and multiple family residential areas. Thus, a
redesignationlrezoning is not inconsistent with either the general pattern of uses or the
relationship of uses established on and around Third Avenue.
,
With respect to the issue of compatibility, ideally retail commercial districts are physically
separated from single family residential uses by significant physical features including slopes,
streets, and/or open spaces, and transitional uses such as lower impact commercial uses (such
as offices) and/or higher density residential uses. Since the property is presently occupied by
a church which, due to building locations, has a relatively low impact on the adjacent residential
area, development of the site with either office or retail use will have a higher impact than
presently experienced, and retail activity has a greater potential for adverse impacts than office
use based on traffic, noise and hours of operation. These potential impacts are identified in the
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration.

A Traffic Study was conducted to compare the traffic volumes and level of service associated
with the existing church facility versus three development scenarios: the development of general
offices under the existing planning and zoning; the Lucky proposal; and the development of
general retail uses assuming the site is replanned and rezoned but not occupied by Lucky:
Daily Peak Level of
Land Use Intensity Trips Hr. Service
Trips
Church Existing 1,009 144 B
Office' 150,000 sq. ft. 2,550 255 B
Lucky 60,000 sq. ft. 2,340 187 B
Retail' 95,000 sq. ft. 3.705 296 B
'Estimated maximum intensity
As indicated in the table, daily trips in and out of the site could be expected to increase by 132 %
with the Lucky proposal, 153% with office development at maximum intensity under the existing
planning and zoning, and 267 % with general retail development at maximum intensity under the
proposed planning and zoning. In all cases, however, the level of service at Third Avenue and
"J" Street remains at LOS "B", which is above the City's LOS "C" Threshold Standard ("A"
is best, "F" is worst). It should also be noted that the peak. hour trips are only marginally higher
for the Lucky proposal as compared with the existing church, and significantly less than office
development at maximum intensity, because of the differences in the distribution of trips between
the uses.
The Study also reviewed accident data for the intersection of Third Avenue and "J" Street (19
accidents over a 34 month period). It found that although this number of accidents is not
atypical for an urban intersection, the characteristics of the accidents, as well as field
observations of restricted left turn movements, indicate the need to add left turn phasing to the
signals at the intersection. This has been included as a requirement for development under the
precise plan standards. The recommendations of the Study with regard to the Lucky conceptual
site plan have also been included in the precise plan standards.
A Noise Study was also conducted to determine potential noise impacts from traffic as well as
from operational aspects of the Lucky proposal. The marginal increase in traffic is not expected
to result in an adverse noise impact. Several aspects of the Lucky conceptual plan were found
to mitigate noise impacts, including separation and orientation of loading facilities away from
residences, and the construction of a landscaped six-foot bock wall along the westerly boundary.
These aspects, as well as the following recommended measures from the studies (or more
stringent variations thereot) have been included in the precise plan standards:
~ 0--5
......_;€?'
Meeting Date 2/93 1?f.J
1. No delivery truck traffic shall occur in the alley between the rear of the store and the
nearest homes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
2. No truck/trailers shall be parked m C".e alley with any mechanical equipment such as
refrigerator/freezer units running during the time from 10 p.m. - 7 a.m.
3. The trash compactor shall not be operated between the hours from 10 p.m. - 7 a.m.,
Monday through Friday, 10 p.m. - 8 a.m. on Saturdays, and 10 p.m. - 9 a.m. on
Sundays and holidays.
4. Refuse or recycled cardboard trucks shall not collect waste materials during those times
when operation of the refuse compactor is prohibited.
In addition to the measures recommended by the Traffic and Noise Studies, the staff has
recommended several precise plan standards which we believe would further ensure compatibility
between the neighbors and the Lucky Store or any other use that would occupy the site if for
whatever reason, the Lucky facility were not constructed. These standards include limitations
on floor area, building size, and site and truck access, as well as parameters for loading,
storage, and service access and equipment. These standards are listed in the draft City Council
Ordinance.
CONCLUSION
The proposal is consistent with the established land use patterns and relationships along the
balance of the Third A venue commercial corridor. Furthermore, while there does not appear to
be a shortage of either commercial office or retail commercial acreage in the area, there is a
shortage of large, rectangular sites to accommodate a relocation, expansion and modernization
of Lucky, or other larger retail development in the area.
The redesignation from office to retail use does have the potential to create greater friction with
residential areas to the west and northwest. However, the apparent advantage to the surrounding
community of a new l!ll'ger grocery store (or perhaps retaining a grocery store which would
otherwise relocate out of the area) in combination with safeguards established in the form of
precise plan standards to address the potential impacts, leads staff to recommend approval of the
requests in accordance with the fmdings and subject to the requirements contained in the attached
resolution and ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT: The expansion of commercial land use will generate additional revenues
through an increase in sales tax and property tax. The land in question is currently tax exempt
(existing Church).

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE TO RETAIL COMMERCIAL

Associate Planner Hernandez presented the staff report. He noted the town meetings which had
been held in December 1992 and August 1993, and stated that the issues raised at the town
meetings had included parking lighting, hours of operation, noise generated by the commercial
activity, traffic, trash enclosure aspects and smell, and other issues related to the physical
development of the property. The issues were primarily due to the existing operation. Mr.
Hernandez drew the Commission's attention to No.8 of the Precise Plan Guidelines relating to
a 20' landscape buffer to be provided along the west property line. The buffer was intended to
soften the visual impact which would be created by the building, and also screen the security
lights that may be installed on that part of the building. Mr. Hernandez also noted that it was
being required that trash enclosures be installed inside the building, as well as all the storage
facilities, mechanical or recycling equipment, and machinery. All the service doors and delivery
service areas would be located either on the east or south side of the building, and no activity
would be allowed on the west side which faced the residential area. Staff recommended that the
Planning Commission adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-93-3, and adopt Resolutions
GPA-93-06 and PCS-93-13 recommending that the City Council approve the General Plan
Amendment and rezoning, subject to the Precise Plan Standards listed in the draft City Council
resolution. Mr. Hernandez noted that Dan Marum of JHK, traffic consultant for the project,
and Barbara Reid from the Environmental Section of the Planning Department were available
for questions.
Commissioner Fuller was concerned about access for people who would be using the shopping
center by alternative modes of transportation. Was thought given to placing the store closer to
Third A venue with the parking behind, additionally buffering the homes in the back from noise?
Associate Planner Hernandez replied that the issue of locating the building at the northeast
comer of the site was researched by the applicant, as the preferable location based upon the
-3-
PC Minutes
-13-
October 13, 1993
urban character of Third Avenue. However, there were also concerns regarding lighting and
insecurity of locating the parking to the rear. Additionally, the size of the building would not
physically adapt to the Third A venue location. If the applicant could have purchased the
Masonic Lodge parcel, the Lucky market could have possibly been located near Third Avenue.
Regarding hours of operation and curfew, Commissioner Tarantino asked if this was the standard
curfew, or if it was determined based on the character of the neighborhood. Mr. Hernandez
stated they were generally the hours of operation.
Commissioner Ray questioned the limitation of delivery truck traffic and why the alley way
could not be blocked altogether to any traffic. Assistant Planning Director Lee responded that
the issue had been discussed at great length at the public forum, and staff had indicated to the
residents that the issue had been explored with the applicant. However, providing access coming
in to the front of the building and maneuvering near the southeast comer of the building and
back into the loading area creates potential safety issues of trucks accessing continually in front
of the store.
Commissioner Ray, referring to Condition 5, noted that refuse or recycled cardboard trucks are
prohibited from collecting waste materials during times which are outside of normal pick-up
hours and raised the question as to why it was necessary to negotiate other than normal pick-up
hours. Mr. Lee said that was another option, stating that it was unusual for a standard rezoning
to set that many conditions in place to address requirements at the design stage, but staff felt it
was important if they were going to move ahead with a General Plan amendment and rezoning
that would potentially impact the adjacent residential area. In staff s opinion, having standards
set in place would make the project compatible with the area. This was basically the plan that
Lucky would like to proceed with, depending on some modifications, if necessary. Following
up on Commissioner Fuller's question, Mr. Lee said that from staff's perspective, there were
many reasons to have the building closer to Third Avenue to provide better interface with bus
service and pedestrian movement, but in terms of marketability, the applicant was concerned
about having parking in the rear.
.
Commissioner Fuller asked if the parking area could be designed so it could be made pedestrian
friendly, having areas where pedestrians could walk safely on sidewalks and not have to be
dodging cars. Mr. Lee said even if the building were set back to the west, a condition could
be added to alert the Design Review Committee to look at the issue of pedestrian access both
from Third Avenue and "J" Street. If the Commission wanted to strengthen a requirement for
pedestrian-friendly access coming from those public street systems, it could be included.
Commissioner Ray questioned Condition 14, the signage on the building, and asked how it
related to discussions in previous meetings regarding a renovation of a business on "I" Street,
and if it was the same condition as on that project. Mr. Lee replied that the project on "I"
Street was in a commercial office zone, which is more restrictive. The subject property was set
up for a typical retail commercial zone in terms of a central commercial zoning category. It
.

varies from 1 sq. ft. up to a maximum of 3 sq. ft. in that zone. In this project, staff was
establishing signage at 1 sq. ft. maximum. Principal Planner Griffin explained that the previous
project, being in a C-O zone, was allowed 50 sq. ft. maximum regardless of the dimensions of
the building. Mr. Lee stated the proposed Lucky building was approximately 230 ft. across the
front, which would equate to 230 sq. ft. of sign area which would be adequate to identify the
building.
Referring to Condition 19 regarding the 5' wide street median to be installed on Third Avenue,
south of Third and "J", Commissioner Ray was concerned with the narrowness of "J" Street
which was quite heavily traveled, and why there was no requirement for a median there and/or
significant widening of the roadway.
Mr. Lee said the purpose of the median on Third A venue was to preclude left-turn movements
in and out of the property on the driveway closest to the Third and "J" intersection. Mr. Dan
Marum, the traffic consultant for the City, concurred that the concern regarding the driveway
on Third A venue was its proximity to the signalized intersection and the potential for left-turn
movements into the site as other vehicles would be making a left turn at the intersection itself.
On "J" Street, the first driveway accessing the site was set back far enough from the intersection
that the conflict would be reduced, and would not be any closer to the intersection than the
existing Lucky's driveway. Regarding widening of "J" Street, there was a requirement for an
exclusive right-turn lane in the eastbound direction which was an improvement which had been
recommended, which would create a geometric configuration in the eastbound direction which
would be identical to the geometric configuration in the westbound direction on the other side
of the intersection. There would be an exclusive left-turn lane in the eastbound direction, a
through lane, and an exclusive right-turn lane.
Commissioner Ray asked about the westbound lane with a vehicle turning left into the driveway-
-would there be room enough to accommodate left turns and a through lane. Mr. Marum
indicated that the specific geometrics had not been detailed out, and it was an item which should
be reviewed at the next level by the design review team.
Commissioner Ray was concerned that there was not some verbiage indicating that it would
either be discussed or some specifics included for the westbound traffic.
Mr. Hernandez recommended that a precise plan standard be added to the conditions as follows:
"An exclusive right-turn-only lane on "J" Street for the eastbound to southbound
movement be required. "
Commissioner Salas asked if the recommended delivery hours were critical to the store or if the
hours could be reduced so there could be more quiet time for the neighborhood. Mr. Lee asked
that the representative from Lucky speak to that issue.

Richard Williams, 4724 Matty Ct., La Mesa 91941, indicated his support for the project.
Mickie Pruitt, 745 Glover Ave., CV 91910, supported the project. She wanted to have a
choice. She believed the noise wo~ld be reduced; Lucky's had worked very hard for the
neighborhood to alleviate any of their concerns.
Allen Ashe, 543 Rivera St., CV 91911, representing the First United Methodist Church, gave
the Church's vision for the community. He believed Lucky's had attempted every possibility
to meet the needs of the community, and felt the City of Chula Vista would be very proud of
the project when completed.
Jim Hirsch, of FORMA Design, 8910 University Center Lane, SD, representing American
Stores, parent company for Lucky supermarkets, discussed the town meetings and the comments
made by the community. They studied a variety of alternate plans with consideration given to
moving the building to the front of the site. At the time, they were in negotiations with the
Lodge to see if they could obtain that property; however, they were not successful. Without that
land, it was impossible to place the building at the front of the site because of traffic circulation.
He proceeded to discuss the other issues considered. They believed the plan being presented
was the best alternative for the site and concurred with the staff recommendation to approve the
GPA and rezone. He noted the design review, within the Precise Plan process, would be
brought back before the Commission when they would be considering the finer points of
pedestrian-friendly access, etc. Mr. Hirsch introduced Chris Huss, Sr. Vice President, and Pat
Sinn, the area real estate manager from American Stores, who were available for questions.
Assistant Planning Director Lee clarified that the Precise Plan would only go before the Design
Review Committee and would only come before the Planning Commission on appeal. It would
be subject to a public hearing, but it was the Design Review Committee's decision.
Charlotte Helms, 805 Floyd Ave., CV 91910, noted her support for the project.
Dennis Ginoza, 874 Entrada Place, CV 91910, Pastor of the First United Methodist Church,
spoke in favor of the project. At the last town meeting, there had been many concerns and
comments regarding the need for a larger store in the area. He believed the applicant was
listening to all sides.
Evita Beas McCullough, 773 Church Ave., CV 91910, supported the project. The present
Lucky store was inadequate, and the new store would help revitalize the neighborhood.
Patrick Barajas, 375 "J" Street, CV, was concerned about trucks coming in from Los Angeles,
using "J" Street as a truck route. Police did not enforce the "no trucks" signs. He asked if
there would be left-turn signals on Third and "J". Mr. Hernandez said that had been
- to-
PC Minutes
-16-

recommended. Mr. Barajas was concerned that only one or two cars going north on Third
Avenue could turn west on "J" Street. He supported the project and felt the store would be a
benefit.
Commissioner Fuller asked where the trucks were supposed to access off 1-5. Mr. Barajas
stated that trucks coming off 1-5 were supposed to turn on "J" to either south or north on
Broadway but some keep going straight through. The designated truck routes were on "H"
Street and "L" Street.
Commissioner Ray asked if there was anything the City could do to prohibit that truck traffic
if it continued. Mr. Lee stated it was a police enforcement matter; the area was posted. Staff
would pass it on to the Police Department.
Commissioner Ray asked how many calls would have to be made before action was taken. Mr.
Lee said that would have to be researched and returned to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Barajas said he had contacted the Police Department many times, and was told that only
motorcycle police could issue tickets to the trucks. He hardly ever saw motorcycle police in the
neighborhood.
There was further discussion as to whether or not the trucks could be stopped by other police,
and staff assured Mr. Barajas that the Police Department would be contacted and the matter
would be discussed.
Jack Fry, 345-B "J" Street, CV 91910, Treehaven Condominiums, representing the
homeowners, supported the project. Staff had addressed their concerns. Mr. Fry said he was
a retired Chula Vista police officer, and he assured Mr. Barajas that those in the police cars
could write tickets, also.
Elsie Brink, 1115 Ocala Ave., CV 91911, said that coming from the south by the post office,
she had to make a left-hand turn and then make a "U" turn to mail letters, or make a left-hand
turn to go into the post office. Sometimes traffic was very thick, and it was impossible to make
a turn. She was concerned with the proximity of the post office to the comer. She felt the
change in zoning would increase the buses and trucks in the area. Ms. Brink was against the
project.
Mae Neumann, 735 Garrett Ave., CV 91910, said the area was designated R-I, and she
thought it should remain R-l. The community still needed churches, and houses should be built
instead of Lucky's. The owner had attended the last meeting, and said it would still be a
grocery store. The community did not need more grocery stores; they could fmd a better
location. She was also concerned with the truck noise.

Jack Gardner, Jr., 3535 First Avenue, San Diego, said he had built the original Lucky Store,
who had been excellent tenants. He was concerned with heavy traffic on "J" Street. They did
not want a divider on "J" Street, so east/west traffic could still go into their property on "J"
Street. Another market would raise the traffic impact, and they wanted to be sure the eastbound
traffic could go into their property, and the westbound traffic on "J" Street could still turn in.
Commissioner Fuller asked if the current Lucky store would remain. Mr. Gardner said their
lease with Lucky was for another three years, which would terminate .when this project was
approved and completed in approximately 2 to 2-112 years. He was concerned with access to
the current site of the Lucky store, so whatever went in after Lucky left. Answering
Commissioner Fuller, Mr. Gardner said there were no defmite plans as to what would go there.
Assistant Planning Director Lee clarified that Mr. Gardner's concern was that if there were
traffic problems arising from left-turn movements and the City wanted to place a median there
to preclude that, it could be a problem for Mr. Gardner's property. Mr. Lee said that a median
would be one solution; and that a left-turn lane was another solution which would require
additional road widening. Those were normally the first kinds of solutions that would be
considered. His concern was one that staff could not respond to until such time as there was
a user and a further analysis of the traffic situation. The first solution would be to try to come
up with a continuous left-turn slot. It would be difficult to try to place a median there with
access to the existing condominium project as well.
Kenneth Ham, 724 Garrett Ave., CV 91910, disagreed with building a Lucky store on the site.
He preferred that the Church remain. He felt there would be more graffiti with a Lucky store
than with a church. He was concerned with diesel fumes going into the back yards. He was
opposed to the Church being tom down. He felt the Church was more of a positive influence
in the community. There had not been an increase in population to warrant a new store. He
asked that the Commission vote against the proposal.
Don Volk, 729 Garrett Ave., CV 91910, said he lives behind the proposed site, and he was
concerned about the noise pollution that would come not only from the proposed site, but also
from the post office. By changing the zoning, the whole neighborhood would be changed, and
he was concerned about health hazards from diesel and other exhaust fumes coming into the
neighborhood. He felt there were health concerns which should be addressed.
Pat Michaels, 303 Via Bissolotti, CV 91910, said that the Church body had voted to move, and
this would take place at some point in time when the land was sold. If it was not sold to
Lucky's, it would be sold to someone else. It was not an issue as to whether the Church was
going to move; it was a matter of whether Lucky's would be allowed to open a store. She spoke
to that as a member of the Church. As a member of the community, she agreed with Mrs.
Pruitt regarding the limited number of supermarkets in the area. She said she took 90% of her
shopping dollar to I.B. and National City, because she shopped around where she did her

grocery shopping. The current Lucky's store and Vons had inadequate parking; the Big Bear
was an inadequate store. This would be a new and quieter store. She supported the project.
Walter Neumann, 735 Garrett, CV, said he had made a suggestion to the store to change the
truck loading dock from the south side of the building to the north end of the building because
of the exhaust from the diesels. With the diesel stack being 8' to 9' tall, there was no way to
stop the fumes with a 6' fence.
Matt Henderson, 715 Garrett, CV, said that the 6' fence was a City limit and could not be
raised. They had proposed that Lucky ask for an 8' fence, along with the 20' abutment for the
foliage. He felt an 8' fence would take care of the exhaust fumes. He was in favor of the
project, which would give the community somewhere else to shop. He felt the proposed plan
was a good one; the trucks would not be coming in the back; the times for delivery were at the
request of the neighbors; he was satisfied with the pedestrian-friendly access; did not feel there
was a problem with buses; the traffic issues would be worked out.
Jack Fry, of Treehaven Home Owners Association, reapproached the podium. He said the
Treehaven Home Owners lived closer to the present Lucky's than any other neighbor in the area.
When they moved in the area in 1973, the current wall was a grape stake fence. Treehaven
residents had contacted Lucky, and they had put in a block wall fence. There had been a lot of
noise which had been brought to the attend of Lucky's and they had tried to mitigate it.
Regarding diesel smoke, the truck drivers turn off the trucks as soon as they are parked. He
felt all the noise would be abated, and the residents would enjoy the new store.
Chris Huss, Sr. Vice President of American Stores, parent company to Lucky, pointed out that
this was a very preliminary design and would have to go through the design process. City staff
would be addressing both the pedestrian access to the center and the truck traffic, and applicant
would be working with them. Regarding the hours, they had been limited per the neighbors'
requests concerning the hours the store would be open as well as being serviced. Regarding the
height of the wall in the back, it would be discussed by the Design Review Committee, and
Lucky would go along with the recommendations of the Committee and the neighbors' desires.
Commissioner Ray asked for a comparison between the Advantage Store in National City and
the proposed project. Mr. Huss said the Advantage Store had approximately 67,000 sq. ft. floor
space. The Lucky store would have approximately 60,000 sq. ft. floor space.
Commissioner Ray also asked for a comparison of the parking allocation. Mr. Huss said the
Lucky store would have more parking but did not recall the ratio. They wanted as much open
visibility in the front with as much parking as there could possibly be in the back.
Chair Martin questioned why it was important to have the parking lot on the main street. Mr.
Huss answered that today in the retail market, there needed to be visibility and good access to
the center. If not, the parking is hidden, and there is a security problem.
- q~

Chair Martin asked if any thought had been given to locating the store next to the Masonic
Lodge. The parking would still be on the north side. Mr. Huss said it had been considered,
but there was a problem with depth and the parking.
Commissioner Moot queried how long the project had been in the planning process before it
came before the Commission. Mr. Huss said it had probably been 1-1/2 years, but the!e were
other circumstances involved which delayed it because of the Church's relocation.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Assistant Planning Director Lee responded to two conditions which had been brought up during
the public hearing. Regarding the potential for having the loading area at the north end instead
of the south. Staff had discussed that with the applicant, but the concerns were: proximity to
residential development across the street, and conflict with the entry driveway. With the loading
area in the south, there was a limited conflict with any parking area. Regarding the height of
the zoning wall, Mr. Lee said that the 6' high zoning wall was the minimum height, and both
through Zoning Administrator approval and/or the Precise Plan, the height could be increased.
The residents needed to get together, if they felt comfortable with a higher wall, to decide if it
should be a 7' or 8' wall. It would have impact on light and air for some residents. It could
be addressed during the design review process, and a higher wall could be installed.
Regarding Condition No. 18, Commissioner Ray asked what type of lighting would be used for
security purposes during off hours of the store. Other stores had lighting 24 hours a day; would
this be the same or would there be a fluctuation of lighting intensity. Mr. Lee said that would
be an issue as the project got into the actual design of the project. The City has Codes covering
that particular issue as far as lighting; they would not allow glare going into the residential area;
if they are installed and there is glare, any complaints are responded to and the lights have to
be adjusted. This condition was more of a flag to the applicant.
Commissioner Ray asked if there was a trade-off regarding the potential for vandalizing
occurring in the alley way at the rear of the store versus the lighting issue if the lights were
turned off. Mr. Lee replied that lights would more likely be redirected than turned off.
Regarding the buffer area to the west of the property, Commissioner Ray questioned the
maintenance of the landscaping in the buffer with vegetation. Mr. Lee stated that the
maintenance of landscaping areas was covered in the City's Landscape Manual. It was through
zoning enforcement, complaint, or the operation of a particular store that the landscaping would
be maintained. Commissioner Ray emphasized for the residents in attendance, that if the
vegetation were to begin to die off or begin to look trashy, they needed to complain to the City.
MS (Moot/Fuller) that the Planning Commission adopt GPA-93-06 to amend the General Plan
from Professional and Administrative Office to Retail Commercial and adopt PCZ-93-E and
rezone from C-O Commercial Office and R-1 Single Family to C-C Central Commercial and to

add no. 23 to the Precise Plan Standard to provide for an exclusive right-turn-only lane on "J"
Street for the eastbound to southbound movement, so that eastbound to southbound movement
is required.
Commissioner Fuller, on behalf of the Commission, thanked the neighborhood and the members
of the Church for the time they had spent for trying to come up with a plan that would be
equitable for everyone. She felt it was a needed improvement in the area, and thought it might
entice some of the old residents back to that location.
Commissioner Ray wanted to include some wording regarding right-of-ways for westbound
traffic on "J" Street west of Third Avenue. He asked if that should be addressed, or if the
Commission should say there should be dedicated left- and right-hand-turn lanes heading west
to go to either the north or the south of "J" Street, which would be west of Third. He asked
if there was any objection to calling that Item 24.
As an explanation, Commissioner Ray said the Traffic Consultant was advocating a left- and a
right-turn lane, and a middle lane heading east on "J" Street, west of Third Avenue. He'd like
to see the same condition west of Third Avenue on "J" Street for traffic heading west. This
would allow a left-turn into the store without impeding traffic.
Associate Planner Reid stated that the Traffic Consultant was suggesting that consideration be
given to requiring a conceptual, striping plan for that particular area. Assistant Planning Director
Lee explained that a large-scale plan would be done to see how it worked, and could be brought
back to the Commission for review and a report, and then could be forwarded on the Design
Review Committee.
In answer to Commissioner Ray, Chair Martin asked that a separate motion be made to add this
as Item 24.
Before the Chairman called for the vote, Associate Planner Hernandez said he believed a motion
to adopt the Negative Declaration should be done fIrst.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf was concerned about the nexus between the proposed requirement
and the project. Without consulting the applicant or having any careful thought, he was
concerned that there was a lawful, proper extraction with regard to this approval. Mr. Rudolf
felt it might be more appropriate for the Commission wished to do a companion, follow-up
motion to investigate the possibility and explore if it was legally appropriate to add that in as a
design review feature when the precise plan itself came forward for consideration by the Design
Review Committee.
Commissioner Ray said he was comfortable voting for the amendment to the General Plan but
was not comfortable voting for the rezone with that condition for the reasons he stated, plus the
concerns stated by the owner of the property of the current Lucky Store. The current conditions
-fl~
PC Minutes

indicate that the street either needed to be widened or something had to be done to address that.
He would make a separate motion, unless there was a concern about that.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf replied that if the applicant had no objection, it could be
included. The applicant indicated there was no objection.
Commissioner Moot, as maker of the motion, said that action needed to be taken regarding
adoption of the Negative Declaration, and then move on the motion made.
MSC (Moot/Ray) 6-0-1 (Commissioner Tuchscher-conflict of interest) to approve the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring Report.
MSC (Moot/Ray) 5-1-0-1 (Commissioner Tuchscher-conflict of interest; Commissioner Salas
against) to adopt GPA-93-06 to amend the General Plan from Professional and
Administrative Office to Retail Commercial and adopt PCZ-93-E and rezone from CoO
Commercial Office and R-1 Single Family to C-C Central Commercial and to add no. 23
to the Precise Plan Standard to provide for an exclusive right-turn-only lane on "J" Street
for the eastbound to southbound movement, so that eastbound to southbound movement
is required; and to include condition no. 24 to prepare a conceptual striping plan.
Associate Planner Hernandez announced that this item would be taken before the City Council
on November 2, 1993.

SUMMARY OF TOWN MEETING COMMENTS
LUCKY STORE
GENERAL PLAN AND REZONING PROPOSAL
AUGUST 13, 1993
1. - Present Lucky Store operation generates noise at early morning
hours- delivery trucks, trash collection vehicles, etc.
2.- Trash enclosures generate undesirable smell and attract
undesirable people.
3. - There have been a lot of accidents at the intersection of
Third and "J" Street. A left turn signal should be installed
to make the intersection safer.
4.- Truck traffic along the west property line will most likely
generate noise and exhaust fumes affecting the westerly
adjacent residential neighborhood.
5.- The building could have been located at the southeast end of
the parcel away from the residential area.
6.- Trash enclosures, outdoor storage areas and mechanical
equipment should be located inside the building or away from
the west side of the building.
7.- Trucks traffic is not permitted along "J" Street. Enforce the
no truck traffic.
8.- A 9 ft. wall can be installed along the west property line to
shield the adjacent residences from the noise generated by
delivery trucks.
9.- The new and more modern store will provide additional services
and will be convenient particularly for senior citizens.
However, the new facility should incorporate the necessary
measures to resolve the issues raised at the meeting.
10- Concern about the increase in traffic along Third Avenue which
is already impacted by the Post Office.

Dear Mr. Reid:
Last night representatives of American Stores Properties, Inc. held a meeting for
interested parties to present their plan for the parcel of land at Third Ave. and J
St.
We are at a loss to see why they would propose a plan that seemingly represents no
consideration at all to surrounding residents. There are existing homes on only a
small corner of this property. It /lakes no sense to place the loudest, most
unpleasant part of the project, in the form of 24 hour loading docks and the actual
store itself, right on top of the few homes that border on this parcel.
We do' not object to the new store. If planned properly it will enhance the general
neighborhood and be convenient for all of us. That seemed to be the general opinion
of the all the people attending the meeting. However, we would like to propose that
Ie store be positioned on the south side of the property facing north with the
.oading docks toward the Post Office. Delivery trucks would then have direct access
from Third Avenue. The parking lot will have entrances from Third Avenue and J
Street in either case so we think it can be arranged and landscaped just as
effectively as it is on the proposed plan.
Also, we have a few other concerns. The height of the wall between our homes and
the parcel is important. We would like to feel reasonably Bure that people in and
aro4rd the store property will not have easy access to our yards. Six feet does not
seem high enough. A higher wall would also muffle some of the noise. We are
interested in the lighting too. Will our yards be like daylight all night?
We hope you will seriously consider our concerns and suggestions. Most of the
families on Garrett Ave. have lived here since 1952. We have a lot invested in our
homes and property.
We would appreciate being informed of further proposals and any meetings regarding
this plan.
Sincerely,
o1tlil<.~ /JJ:t/~fiI1l<o./

Dear Sir.
After attending the aeeting for the Initial Study (Lucky
Market) on Tuesday Dec. 8th, it is our personal opinion that
this project as it is presently planned as shown to us will
have a definite environmental iapact on all the neighboring
residents and .specially the nine of us on the .ast .ide of
the 700 block of Garrett Ave. a
Speaking for ayself. I aa definitely against having^loading
and unloading facilit~nd all the noise, traffic and fuaes
just sixty feet away trom my back yard.

Dear Mr. Re1d,
The noti~e of In1tial Study on the proposed Lu~ky Market and

regard1ng any anti~ipated env1ronmental impa~t. My business, Bob
Burns Cleaners, 1S lo~ated immed1ately south of the Post Offi~e.
Traffi~ 1n the v1~ln1ty is so heavy, at t1mes, that exiting my

ne~essary to restr1~t vehi~les eX1ting thier lot to right turns

spe~lfl~ally on the ab1lity of veh1~les to exit my lot and that
of the Post Off1~e, would be severe.

Dear Mr. Griffin:
This is to support plans alre~dy approved for Lucky Market's
move to the site, corner of Third and J Sts., now occupied by
First United Methodist Church. Surely the new location will
facilitate both ingress and egress for customers and thereby
improve traffic flow in the area. With the building properly
positioned on the property there should be neglible noise
increase in the neighborhood.
As Lucky customers we look forward to the new location of the
store.
Sincerely Yours,~ .

CHULA VISTA, CA. 91910
RE: LUCKY MARKET
CHANGE OF LOCATION
DEAR MR. GRIFFIN,
WE HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS OF CHULA VISTA FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS,
AND PRIOR TO THAT, WE GREW UP HERE. SINCE WE RETURNED TO THIS
CITY, WE HAVE WATCHED A NUMBER OF SUPER MARKETS CLOSE FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS. THE SAFEWAY (WINDMILL FARMS) AND ALPHA
BETA. TO NAME JUST TWO IN THE OLD CENTER OF CHULA VISTA.
THE LUCKY STORE AT 3RD AND J STREETS HAS BEEN IN THAT LOCATION
FOR MANY YEARS. IT SERVES A VERY LARGE SECTION OF CHULA VISTA
AND. IN MY OPINION, HAS REPLACED THE STORES THAT HAVE CLOSED.
WE HAVE SHOPPED THERE SINCE WE RETURNED TO THIS CITY BECAUSE
IT'S LOCATION IS CONVENIENT FOR US AND THE STORE IS COMPETITIVE.
THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM WITH THE STORE - IT IS TO SMALL! WE
( WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT EXPAND IT'S FACILITY AND IT'S PARKING LOT.
,
WE SUPPORT THE RE-LOCATION OF THE LUCKY STORE TO 710 THIRD AVE.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOU ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.
SINCERELY YOURS.

To Whom it May Concern:
As a resident of the property located at 670 Del Mar Ave, Chula Vista,
Ca, I am very interested in ~h~t is happening to the area around
-'
our property. There are serveral problems that I would like to see
addressed at the Planning Copmission meeting:
1. Traffic congestion caused by exiting traffic from future site.
At the present time there can be a real problem from traffic
backing up at the Main Post Office between J St and K St.
2. Noise caused in the v~ry early moring hours for servicing
of future commercial outlets. At this time we are woken
up every morning between 5:30 and 6:00 A.M. by trash trucks
picking up garbage at present commercial property occupied
by Lucky Markets. It is bad enough it happens on week days
but when it happens on the weekend it is very frustrating to
say the least.
My husband says we need jobs which will be provided by the different
commercial outlets, true but these homes were here a long time before
the commercial property and I feel our rights to peace and quiet
should be respected and taken into consideration.

PROJECT NAME:
Lucky Store
PROJECT LOCATION:
Southwest Comer of Third A venue and J Street
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO:.
573-320-01 and 573-320-45
PROJECT APPLICANT:
American Stores Properties, Inc.
CASE NO: IS-93-20
DATE: August 23, 1993
A. Proiect Setting
The project setting consists of a 5.8 acre two-parcel site located at the southwest comer of Third
Avenue and J Street. The site is currently developed with the First Methodist Church building, a
fellowship hall, and several additional buildings are ancillary (0 the church and a single family dwelling.
There are currently 72 parking spaces on site for the church and additional parking spaces that are in
conjunction with the other buildings. Access to the church is from Third Avenue on the east, and J
street on the northerly side of the site. Adjoining land uses are: single family residences west of the
site, and the existing Lucky Store and a condominium comPlex located to the north. Third Avenue and
commercial uses are located to the east of the store and ilie Masonic Lodge and post office adjoin the
church on the south.
B. Proiect DescriDtion
The project description consists of amending the General Plan Designation on the site from Professional
and Administrative to Retail-Commercial, rezoning the easterly 300 feet of the property from Office-
Commercial to Central-Commercial subject to a precise plan and the westerly 325 feet of the parcel
from R-1 (Single family detached) to Central-Commercial subject to a precise plan. The applicant,
American Stores Properties, Inc., is not filing a concurrent application for a precise plan. American
Stores is the parent company of Lucky Stores and it is their intent, should they receive approval of the
general plan amendment and rezone to apply to the City for a precise plan for a Lucky Store.
Therefore, although the project description is for a General Plan amendment and rezone, the analysis
for purposes of this enviromnental document reviews the proposed use with the caveat that an additional
analysis for a "worst-case" scenario in regard to traffic and noise be included. An analysis is needed
to determine if, in the event the proposed general plan amendment and rezoning amendment were
approved, could another use be permitted outright which would require additional mitigation over and
above that required for the Lucky Store. A determination was made by analyzing the impact of the
Lucky Store with the proviso that the acoustician and traffic engineers undertaking the analysis
determine whether additional mitigation was needed which should then be required as precise plan
guidelines in the zone. Within the broader context then, of the proposed General Plan Amendment and

Rezone the applicant's eventual plan is for the removal of the existing First Methodist Church and its
replacement with a 62,900 square foot Lucky Store. Approximately 50,000 square feet are proposed
for the Lucky store. The remaining interior square footage is proposed for other drop-off stores such
as a cleaner, or drug store, or a fast-food outlet. A conceptual development plan illustrating a potential
site design depicts a 20 ft. landscape buffer and 6 ft. block wall on the westerly side of the site, a
landscape buffer on the southerly side of the site near the post office providing a buffer between this
proposed use and the post office and Masonic Lodge and a landscaped burfer along Third A venue in
front of the store. The applicant proposes a total of 315 parking spaces on the eastern and southern
portions of the site. The unloading area for the store will be on the south side. Access for the site is
proposed on Third Avenue and on the southerly side of J Street. The hours of the store operation are
proposed to be from 6:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M. Loading and unloading of the dock on the southern side
of the store will be restricted to exclude the hours between 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. as will the hours
for loading and unloading of the general store merchandise. According to the applicant, the trash
compactor operation necessary to the store operation will occur inside the store. Public service and
utility requirements will be implemented by the applicant as is appropriate.
The applicant's original proposal had been: to include a fast food outlet on the northwesterly portion
of the site and to include unloading bays for meat and produce on the westerly and northerly sides of
the store, in addition to having a 24-hour store. In response to the Notice of Initial Study of the above
cited proposal, numerous phone calls and letters were received from surrounding residents. Some of
the concerns raised by residents included: hours of operation, hours of use and location of unloading
bays and the noise accompanying the same, noise from the trash compactor, noise from truck trailers
parking in the alley with any mechanical equipment such as refrigerator/freezer units running, concerns
about traffic increasing on J and Third Street, concerns about other retail uses. The applicant also met
with City staff on several occasions to obtain staff response to the proposed project.
As a result of reviewing the comments from residents as well as the comments from various City
departments and the results of the acoustical and traffic analysis conducted on this proposed project,
American Stores Properties, Inc. modified their conceptual development plan as is described in the
beginning paragraphs of this section.
.
This amended project description is in compliance with fmdings of the Court under Section 15070 of
the California Environmental Quality Act that "Any needs or proposed mitigation measures must be
incorporated into a proposed negative declaration and the project revised accordingly before the negative
declaration is released for public review." (Sunstrom v. Mendocino- 1988).
Discretionary actions for this proposal include a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment.
C. ComDatibilitv with Zonine: and Plans
The General Plan Designation for the site is Professional-Administrative and the zoning for the easterly
300 feet of the site is Commercial-Office. The zoning for the westerly part of the site is R-l, single -
family residential. Churches are permitted with conditional use permits in all zones. Grocery stores of
--- 3,1)....
-3-
the size proposed here are not pennitted in the C-O zone, the Commercial Office zone underlying the
existing church building or the R-l Zone but are pennitted in the C-C zone (Central Commercial zone).
If the General Plan is amended to Retail-Commercial subject to a precise plan and the Zone is amended
to Central-Commercial subject to a precise plan as the applicant is proposing, a grocery store of the size
proposed by the applicant would be pennitted subject to the review and approval of a precise plan.
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista detennined that the proposed project will not have
a significant environmental effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be
required. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the
State CEQA Guidelines.
F. Mitie:ation necessarv to avoid sie:nificant effects
Specific mitigation measures regarding potential noise and traffic problems have been identified. The
mitigation measures required to reduce the potentially significant impacts to a level of less than
significant are as follows: A landscaped 6-foot block wall along the western wall along the western site
boundary is required for additional noise protection; no delivery truck traffic shall occur in the service
driveway with any mechanical equipment such as refrigerator/freezer units running during the time from
10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M., the trash compactor shall not be operated between the hours from 10:00
P.M. to 7:00 A.M., Monday through Friday; 10:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. Saturdays; and 10:00 P.M. to
9:00 A.M. on Sundays and holidays, refuse or recycled cardboard trucks shall not collect waste
materials during those times when operation of the refuse compactor is prohibited and any site use
should not create noise levels exceeding 65db by day or 55 db at night (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.) at
the property line of the nearest residential use.
Traffic impact mitigation include: the placement of a median on Third A venue south of the intersection
of J and Third and the an exclusive right turn only lane on "J" Street for the Eastbound to Southbound
movement, and that a separate left-turn phasing at the intersection of Third Avenue arid "J" Street be
provided. The attached Mitigation Monitoring Program must be adopted along with the Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
Due to recent drought conditions, as a condition of project approval, the applicant must agree to no net
increase in water consumption or participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the
City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building pennit issuance.

G. Mandatory Findim!s of Si2nificance
Based on the following fmdings, it is determined that the project described above will not have a
significant environmental impact and no environmental impact report needs to be prepared.
1. The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory.
The proposed project, the amendment of the current General Plan Designation of
Professional Administrative to Retail-Commercial and the amendment of the zoning on
the property from R-I and C-O to C-C-P is within an urbanized area of the City. The
site has been developed for years and a church is currently on the site. There are no
waterways near the site or any known endangered species and the proposed project will
not threaten or restrict any sensitive animal or plant community. There are no known
significant biological or historical or prehistorical resources on the site.
2. The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the
disadvantage of long-term environmental goals.
This project which consists of the general plan amendment and rezone of a site does not
have the potential to achieve short term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long
term environmental goals with the adoption of the proposed mitigation measures and their
incorporation as precise plan guidelines.
3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable. As used in the subsection, "cumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in
connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and
the effects of probable future projects.
This project does not have the potential to be individually limited but cumulatively
considerable. The environmental analysis contained in the Initial Study considered
potential cumulative impacts. It was determined that with project specific mitigation
measures the impacts to traffic and noise would be reduced to below a level of
significance and would not be "cumulatively considerable. "

4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly.
The proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse effect on human beings either
directly or indirectly as it must meet all Code requirements and requirements of various
City departments.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
EARTH
As the site is already developed with a church, there will be no changes in topography, or
conditions that could lead to an increase in wind or water erosion. No unique geologic
physical features exist on the site. At the precise plan level, the applicant will be required to
meet any conditions recommended in the soils study.
AIR
The project is in conforrllance with the existing Air Basin Plan.
WATER
This project is not in the Coastal Zone and there are no rivers or wetlands or other sensitive
aquatic resources within the immediate area that could be impacted by the project.
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that the developer will request and deliver to the City
a service availability letter from the Water District. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Planes) and City Engineering Standards. The
Sweetwater Authority stated that the 4750 GPM fire flow at 20 psi residual pressure for a 2-
hour duration, as required by the Chula Vista Fire Department is not available to serve the
above-referenced project. The Authority recommends that a fire flow test and a hydraulic
analysis be performed to determine the available flow. The existing off-site drainage facilities
are surface flow along Third Avenue northward to "J" Street and 33" RCP in "J" Street.
Engineering staff have noted that site specific drainage improvements will be needed to
adequately convey site runoff to offsite facilities. These site specific improvements are not
mitigation measures.
PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE
The project is in an urbanized area of the City and the site is already developed. There are no
sensitive or endangered plant or animal species in the immediate area. The project is in an
urbanized area of the City.
NOISE
The noise study, that was conducted by Hans Giroux and Associates determined that noise
changes along the site access roadways do not create an unacceptable exposure, but only
increase noise levels by an incrementally small and generally imperceptible amount.
Operational noise impacts from project implementation are incorporated into project design by
maximizing the distance separation between residences and a landscaped 6 foot block wall
along the western site boundary and is included for additional noise protection. Additional
operational measures recommended as inclusions to the precise plan guidelines, in effect
measures to further mitigate noise impacts include the following:
Page I
(3/
...-
LUC.CKL
No delivery truck traffic shall occur in the alley between the rear of the store and the nearest
homes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
No truck/trailers shall be parked in the alley with any mechanical equipment such as
refrigerator/freezer units running during the time from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The trash compactor shall not be operated between the hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., Monday
through Friday, 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. on Saturdays, and 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. on Sunday and holidays.
Refuse or recycled cardboard trucks sh~lI not collect waste materials during those times when
operation of the refuse compactor is prohibited.
Any site use should not create noise levels exceeding 6Sdb by day or SSdb at night (10 p.m.
to 7 a.m) at the property line of the nearest residential use.
LIGHT AND GLARE
As the project is for a general plan amendment and rezone and not for a precise plan, the
details of the proposed lighting have not been submitted at this time. However, when a precise
plan application is filed, staff will review the project to be certain that lighting will be in
accordance with City regulations.
LAND USE
The current land uses on the site are a church and ancillary buildings. The proposed
amendments to the general plan and zoning would permit retail commercial uses on the site.
Although this is a substantial change, the mitigation measures that are proposed here would
reduce potential land use impacts in the areas of noise and traffic.
NATURAL RESOURCES
No natural resources are expected to be impacted. The proposal, therefore, is not expected to
increase the rate of the use of natural resources.
RISK OF UPSET
No hazardous materials or substances will be stored on site. Therefore, there cannot be a risk
of an explosion or release of hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset
conditions.
POPULATION
There is not expected to be an increase in population at this site as a result of the proposed
general plan amendment and zoning. Should the applications be approved the predominant
land uses will be commercial and it is expected that the future users will already reside in the
City of Chula Vista.
Page : S~ r
LUC.CKL
HOUSING
The proposed project is not expected to create a demand for additional housing as it is
expected that users of the Lucky Store or other commercial uses which would locate on this
site already reside in the community; many probably are users of the existing store located
across the street. It is also expected that the majority of the future employees are already
employed at the existing Lucky and that some of the additional employees that will be needed
will already reside in the area.
TRANSPORT A nON/CIRCULA nON
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur
during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Intersections west of I-80S
are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS "E" or "F"
during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are
exempted from this policy. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Policy.
Engineering staff commented that the proposed change in land use would impact the traffic
circulation system and as a result required a traffic study. A traffic study was carried out by
JHK and Associates. The review included: the analysis of the accident history at this
intersection over a three year period (1989-1992), an analysis of the adequacy of the number
and location of the proposed project site access points, the storage capacity provided for
vehicles attempting to turn into the project site via Third Avenue, and a detailed review of
internal circulation and an identification of conflict points with passenger vehicles, delivery
trucks and pedestrians, the issue of truck access, minimum turning radius circulation, the
adequacy of the planned parking supply, design, and passenger vehicle circulation, pedestrian
safety, flow and potential conflict points and recommendations for revisions to the proposed
project site plan.
Specific mitigation measures recommended by JHK and Associates include: that a median on
Third Avenue south of the intersection of "J" and Third be constructed, that a right-turn only
lane on "J" Street for the Eastbound to Southbound movement be added, and that a separate
left turn phasing at the intersection of Third Avenue and "J" Street be provided.
The applicant will be required at the precise plan level to install curb, gutter, sidewalks and
street lighting as specified by the Engineering Department.
PUBLIC SERVICES
A. Fire/EMS
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that fue and medical units must be able to
respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5 minutes or
less in 75% of the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold
standard will be met, since the nearest fue station is 1.5 miles away and would be
associated with a 2 minute response time. The proposed project will comply with this
Threshold Standard.
pa~ 3(S ~
LUC.CKL
The Fire Department is also requiring standard fire prevention equipment and facilities
on-site, such as fire extinguishers. Staff from the Fire Department have also indicated
that the fire flow is required to be 4,750 gallons per minute, that fire department access
be maintained at all times and that plans should be submitted for a sprinkler system.
B. Police
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that police units must respond to 84% of
Priority I calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all
Priority I calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units mus, respond to 62% of Priority 2
calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2
calls of 7 minutes or less. The Police Department has indicated that the proposed
project will comply with this Threshold Policy.
C. Schools
State law currently provides for a developer fee of .$.27 for non-residential area to be
charged (Chula Vista Elementary School District - $.12/square foot, Sweetwater Union
High School District - .15 square foot).
D. Parks
.
As this project is a non-residential project the project is not covered by the
threshold/standards policy for Parks and Recreation. Therefore the applicant is not
required to pay impact fees or dedicate park land.
E. Energy
The proposed facility is not expected to substantially Increase demand on existing
energy sources or to create a need for new energy.
F. Water
The applicant must agree to no net increase in water consumption or participate in
whatever water conservation or fee offset program the City of Chula Vista has in effect
at the time of building permit issuance.
UTILITY AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
.
The proposed project is not expected to create a need for any new utilities or service systems.
The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City engineering
standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with sewer
master plans and City engineering standards. The existing 8-inch VCP in Third Avenue and
lO-inch VCP in "J" Street in "J" are adequate to serve the project. A NPDES construction
activities permit will be required for this project.e
LUC.CKL
Page 4.... ')1 ....
HUMAN HEALTH
This proposed project will not create any human health problems.
AESTHETICS
As the project is for a general plan amendment and rezone and not a precise plan there are no
aesthetic considerations at this time.
RECREATION
The project is not expected to cause a need for additional recreational facilities as the residents
shopping in the proposed store already reside in the City and existing use residential facilities.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
There are no significant cultural resources in the area.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Based on the following findings, it is determined that the project described above will not have
a significant environmental impact and no environmental impact report needs to be prepared.
While the City is not required to prepare a negative declaration where a categorical exemption
is appropriate (Guidelines 15301), as is the case here, the City recognizes that transitional
housing is often controversial and that a negative declaration provides the public with an
opportunity to comment on the project and to better refine mitigation measures.
1. The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
The proposed project, the amendment of the current General Plan Designation
of Professional Administrative to Retail-Commercial and the amendment of the
zoning on the property from R-l and CoO to C-C-P is within an urbanized area
of the City. The site has been developed for years and a church is currently on
the site. There are no waterways near the site or any known endangered species
and the proposed project will not threaten or restrict any sensitive animal or
plant community. There are no known significant biological or historical or
prehistorical resources on the site.
LUC.CKL

2. The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to
the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals.
This project which consists of the general plan amendment and rezone of a site
does not have the potential to achieve short term environmental goals to the
disadvantage of long term environmental goals with the adoption of the
proposed mitigation measures and their incorporation as precise plan guidelines.
3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, "cumulat:vely
considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project
are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,
the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.
This project does not have the potential to be individually limited but
cumulatively considerable. The environmental analysis contained in the Initial
Study considered potential cumulative impacts. It was determined that with
project specific mitigation measures the impacts to traffic and noise would be
reduced to below a level of significance and would not be "cumulatively
considerable. "
4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
The proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse effect on human
beings either directly or indirectly as it must meet all Code requirements and
requirements of various City departments.

RE: IS-93-020/FA-606/DP-979
Project: Removal of Existing First Methodist Church & Replace
with Lucky Market
Location: SW Corner of Third Avenue & J Street
Dear Ms. Miller:
This is to advise you that the project, located at Third Avenue and J Street, is
within the Chula Vista Elementary School District which serves children from
Kindergarten through Grade 6.
District enrollment has been increasing at the rate of 3 - 4 percent over the
past several years, and this is projected to continue. Permanent capacity has
been exceeded at many schools and temporary relocatable classrooms are
being utilized to accommodate increased enrollments. The District also buses
students outside their attendance areas, both to accommodate growth and
assist in achieving ethnic balance.
State law currently provides for a developer fee of $ .27 for non-residential
area to be charged (Chula Vista Elementary School District - $ .12/square
foot; Sweetwater Union High School District - $ .15/square foot) to assist in
financing facilities needed to serve growth.
Since developer fees currently allowed under State law provide approximately
twenty-five percent of the facilities costs to house new students, the District
encourages developer participation in alternative financing mechanisms to
help assure that facilities will be available to serve children generated by new
construction. We are currently utilizing Community Facilities District (CFD's)
as one method to help fund this shortfall. Participation in a CFD is in lieu of
developer fees, with school mitigation paid by the homeowner in the form of a
special tax.

RE: IS-93-020/First Methodist Church @ Third Avenue & J Street
The subject project is located in the Rice School attendance area. This
school is presently operating a't or near capacity, and an alternative financing
mechanism, such as participation in or annexation to a Community Facilities
District is recommended.
If you have any questions, please contact this office.

CASE NO. 18-93-020
SWA Gen. File: Water Availability, 1992
Dear Mr. Reid:
This letter is in response to your Notice of Initial Study for the
subject project within the Sweetwater Authority service area. There
is an S-inch water main located on the east side of Third Avenue
and a 6-inch water main on the north side of "J" Street adjacent to
the proposed development. Our records indicate that there are three
existing water services to this property. Enclosed is a copy of 1/4
SEC. 139 map which shows these facilities.
At this time, we cannot comment on the adequacy of the existing
system to provide fire protection - for this project. As plans
develop for structures, the Owner must submit a letter to the
Authority from the appropriate fire agency stating fire flow
requirements. Based on this requirement, this project may result in
the need for new water systems or substantial alteration to the
existing water system. The Authority recommends that your agency
work with ours to determine if the existing water system is
adequate to meet the added demands prior to issuing a building
permit.
If the owner provides the required fire flow information and enters
into an agreement for water facility improvements with the
Authority, water service can be obtained at a pressure ranging from
a maximum of 62 p.s.i. to a minimum of 37 p.s.i.

NOISE SETTING
Sound is mechanical energy transmitted by pressure waves in a
compressible medium such as air. Noise is unwanted sound. Sound
is characterized by various parameters that describe the rate of
oscillation of sound waves, the distance between successive troughs
or crests, the speed of propagation, and the pressure level or
energy content of a given sound. In particular, the sound pressure
level has become the most common descriptor used to characterize
the loudness of an ambient sound level. The decibel (dB) scale is
used to quantify sound intensity. Since the human ear is not
equally sensitive to all sound frequencies within the entire
spectrum, human response is factored into sound descriptions by
weighting sounds within the range of human sensitivity more heavily
(middle A and its higher harmonics) in a process called "A-
weighting" written as dB(A).
Time variations in noise exposure are typically expressed in terms
of a steady-state energy level equal to the energy content of the
time varying period (called Leq), or alternately, as a statistical
description of the sound level that is exceeded over some stated
fraction of a given observation period. Finally, because community
receptors are more sensitive to unwanted noise intrusion during the
evening and at night, state law requires that, for planning
purposes, an artificial dB increment be added to quiet time noise
levels in a 24-hour noise metric called the Community Noise
Equivalent Level (CNEL). An interior CNEL of 45 qB(A) is mandated
for multiple family dwellings, and is considered a desirable noise
exposure for single family dwelling units as well. Since typical
noise attenuation within residential structures is about 15-20 dB,
an exterior noise exposure of 65 dB CNEL is typically the design
exterior noise exposure for new residential dwellings, schools, or
other noise-sensitive land uses in California. Because commercial
or industrial uses are not occupied on a 24-hour basis, a less
stringent noise/land use compatibility criterion is generally
specified for these less noise sensitive land uses.
The City of Chula vista Noise Element does not currently contain
specific noise compatibility standards, other than those mandated
by the State for multi-family residential units. For purposes of
land use planning, the City of San Diego has established a complete
set of community noise standards. The ci ty of Chula vista
currently follows the noise guidelines established by the City of
San Diego. These standards establish maximum allowable noise
levels for various types of land developments and are reproduced in
Figure A. Under these standards, the maximum exterior noise level
for schools, residential development, hospitals parks and
playgrounds is 65 dB (A). Office buildings, auditoriums and
churches may have exterior noise levels up to 70 dB (A). Commercial
uses may have exterior noise exposure of 75 dB (A). The City's

noise policy states that every citizen has a right to live in an
environment where noise is not detrimental to his or her life,
health, and enjoyment of property. Within the policy's
implementation provisions, there is a mandate for the city to
consider the effects of noise, especially from transportation
sources, in its land use decisions to realize the above objective.
_" Existing noise levels around the proposed Chula vista Lucky store
site derive mainly from vehicular sources on the roadways in the
area. In order to better define the existing project site noise
exposure, an on-site noise monitoring program was conducted on
January 12, 1993 and centered on five locations on the project
site: Near 3rd Avenue, along J street, and at three locations near
existing homes on the western site boundary. Measurements were
taken for 20 minute intervals with an LDL Model 700 Noise Meter.
The results from the noise monitoring are summarized in Table A.
Although these readings are short-term Leq's while the noise.
standard is in terms of CNEL, monitoring experience throughout
Chula Vista has shown mid-day Leq and CNEL to be very similar.
with a small margin of error, the on-site measurements reasonably
well define baseline noise exposure relative to the City's noise
exposure guidelines.
This data shows that the project area experiences noise levels
below 65 dB along 3rd Avenue and J street 100' from the centerline.
Even in close proximity to the roadways, noise levels are no
impediment for planned commercial development. These levels are,
however, in excess of those considered acceptable for residential
uses such as those west of the site. Noise levels drop
significantly in the interior of the site, such that homes away
from J street are protected from traffic noise. The residences
directly adjacent to J street, nevertheless, are subject to
elevated noise levels that may be exacerbated by continued areawide
traffic growth. The traffic generation scope of any future
development i~ therefore an important consideration in not
sUbstantially worsening the noise environment for these residents.

NOISE IMPACTS
Three noise sources are typically identified with urban development
such as the proposed Lucky store relocation. Construction
acti vi ties, especiallY heavy equipment, will create short-term
noise increases near the project site. Upon completion, vehicular
traffic on streets around the development area may create a higher
noise exposure to Chula vista residents beyond the noise levels
currently experienced. On-site activities such as truck
del1veries, unloading of goods and waste collection/disposal at the
store may also impact homes on the west.
Construction Noise Impacts
Temporary construction noise impacts from most commercial
development vary markedly because the noise strength of
construction equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment
used and its activity level. Short-term construction noise impacts
tend to occur in discrete phases dominated initially by large
earth-moving sources, then by foundation and parking lot
construction, and finally for finish construction. The large
earth-moving sources are the noisiest with equipment noise
typically ranging from 75 to 90 dB(A) at 50 feet from the source.
Figure B shows the typical noise emissions associated with specific
construction equipment. Point sources of noise emissions are
atmospherically attenuated by a factor of 6 dB per doubling of
distance. The quieter noise sources will, thus, drop to a 65 dB
exterior/45 dB interior noise level by about 200 feet from the
source while the loudest could require over 1000 feet from the
source to reduce the 90+ dB(A) source strength to a generally
acceptable 65 dB (A) exterior exposure level. Existing traffic
noise and surrounding structures will somewhat screen temporary
construction activity impacts such that the actual noise impact
"envelope" will be smaller than its theoretical maximum. Given the
close proximity of homes to the west of the project site, noise
peaks in excess of 80 dB may be temporarily experienced. Although
impacts are short-term, construction of a substantial commercial
development very close to existing residences may nevertheless have
a temporarily significant noise impact.
Construction noise sources are not strictly relatable to a
community noise standard because they occur only during selected
times and the source strength varies sharply with time. The
penalty associated with noise disturbance during quiet hours and
the nuisance factor accompanying such disturbance usually leads to
time limits on construction activities imposed as conditions on
construction and use permits. Weekday hours during periods of
least noise sensitivity are typically the allowed times for
construction activities if there are occupied dwellings within a

reasonable exposure zone surrounding the construction. site.
Because this site clearly meets the criterion of having sensitive
recei vers in close proximity, a time limi t on on-site heavy
equipment operations is needed to minimize noise intrusion. Given
that heavy grading will be minimal since the site is pre-graded,
the combination of a limited requirement for heavy equipment
operations and a time limit from 7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday
for motorized equipment operations will minimize sleep disturbance
or interference with exterior property enjoyment during evenings
and weekends. For purposes of minimizing operational activity
noise impacts, a sound wall will be constructed along the western
site boundary. The utility of that wall will be enhanced if it is
constructed early during site development to also screen out
construction noise. Combined effects of time limits to hours of
lesser sensitivity and early construction of the sound wall will
maintain temporary construction noise impacts at a less than
significant level.
Materials handling and small stationary noise sources have lower
initial noise levels, and their corresponding noise impact zones
during later phases of construction are, therefore, much smaller.
pieces of equipment are also often smaller (compressors,
generators, etc.) such that they lend themselves to placement in
areas where existing structures or larger pieces of equipment may
screen a portion of the noise transmission. Once the western wall
of the store structure is completed, it will act as a further noise
barrier to many finish construction noise impacts from the store
interior. Except during actual construction of the western store
perimeter, noise impact potential will be substantially reduced
once the western store wall is erected. Exterior finish
construction will also be shielded by the recommended noise wall
along the western project boundary. Noise generation during finish
construction may thus be audible at times, but not at levels
considered to have a significant impact.
Vehicular Noise Impacts
Incremental noise as it relates to commercial use may be important
in terms of commercial activity traffic noise impacting the
adjacent residential community. In the case of commercial
projects, existing roadway noise impacting the project site is
generally not a concern because retail uses are less noise
sensitive than residential uses and compatible with noise levels up
to 75 dB. One would typically expect the proposed development, by
virtue of its traffic-inducement, to create an increase in
community noise exposure. However, the increase would be
superimposed upon existing roadway noise generation and may
therefore not, of itself, create a noise impact that would be
individually perceptible near the project area. In addition, this
7
- 96~
is a commercial relocation of a relatively short distance and most
of the traffic is not "new". Much of the travel to the site is
also expected to be drive-by trips that are already on the
surrounding transportation system and would not contribute
significantly to noise levels.
Changes in vehicular noise patterns were calculated using the FHWA
Highway Traffic Noise Model (FHWA-RD-77-108, CALVENO-85 modified).
The model calculates the Leq noise level for a particular reference
set of input conditions, and then makes a series of adjustments for
site-specific traffic volumes, distances, speeds, or noise
barriers. The project traffic study shows that future uses will
generate 2,516 new trips for the proposed Lucky Store and retail
shops. These trips will be fractionally distributed in four
different access directions. The number of new trips on individual
sections of J Street and/or Jrd Avenue will thus be small.
project-related traffic noise impacts were calculated for existing
traffic and then for the future "no project" versus "with project"
cases. Traffic noise impacts were calculated for a 50,000 square
foot Lucky store footprint as well as for a somewhat larger 65,000
square foot alternative. Table B summarizes the traffic noise
level at 50' from the centerline of surrounding roadways near the
proposed Lucky Grocery store. Along both J street and Jrd Avenue,
existing traffic levels are more than 20 times higher than the new
additional traffic created by project implementation. project-
related traffic noise impacts are therefore masked by noise from
existing traffic. The maximum project-related noise impact is 0.2
dB. Although there are no absolute standards of noise impact
significance, an increase of J dB or more is perceived by most
human receivers as a substantial degradation in the areawide noise
environment. The 3 dB threshold is not attained at any analysis
location.
The incrementally small, individually insignificant, project
traffic noise impact creates a correspondingly limited change in
the distance of noise-contours for noise-sensitive land uses.
Table B also shows the distance from the roadway centerline to the
65 dB CNEL contour, which is the noise level considered normally
acceptable for residences and other noise sensi ti ve land uses. The
calculations show that the project impact is minimal with the zone
of residential incompatibility along Third Avenue increasing by
only 1 foot at maximum project impact. A small increase in the
magnitude of project-related noise, with the corresponding small
change in the area of noise incompatibility engendered by the
project, supports the finding that project traffic will create an
individually less than insignificant noise impact.
Cumulatively increased traffic will interact with projected
increases throughout the area. The Chula vista area will

experience traffic increases from the intensification of under-
utilized lands. Table B, however, shows that the "Future-wi th-
Project" noise exposure, including currently anticipated cumulative
traffic growth, is not measurably different from the "Existing"
condition. There are anticipated increases of 0.2 and 0.3 dB from
non-project traffic growth along J Street and Third Avenue. with
project traffic noise impacts of 0.2 dB, no road segments will
experience cumulative impacts that exceed the 3 dB significance
threshold previously noted. Traffic noise impacts from the
proposed Lucky store relocation are therefore not considered
individually or cumulatively significant.
Because the "with project" off-site noise impact is much less than
significant, a somewhat larger store similarly creates a minimal
change in the community noise environment. Maximum off-site noise
impacts for a 65,000 square foot store alternative are 0.0 to 0.1
dB higher than the 50,000 square foot site. Maximum total noise
increases of 0.2 dB above the no-project alternative are less than
significant.
A subsequent site plan developed for the project changed the non-
grocery mix of uses proposed for the site. The proposed grocery
store was retained at 50,000 square feet, and the Moose Lodge
parcel was integrated into the property. Shop space was expanded
by around 8,000 square feet and a 4,200 square foot fast food
restaurant was added. Off-site trip generation is slightly higher
(because of the fast food component) than for the 65,000 square
foot grocery alternative. However, since the addition of 15,000
square feet to the grocery store would add only an imperceptible
component to the off-site noise exposure, the off-site noise impact
of around 12,000 feet in shop and restaurant space will be
similarly masked by the existing traffic noise environment.
site Operations Noise Impact
Grocery stores are generally not perceived as major noise
generators, but do sometimes have site-specific noise generation
acti vi ties that could be audibly intrusive or annoying at the
residential development west of the site. Such intrusion may
resul t both from the nature of the noise (motors, compressors,
blowers, metal banging on metal, etc.) as well as from the time at
which it occurs. Impact potential is exacerbated by the short
distance between the grocery store and the nearest homes backing up
to the western site property line.
Two store orientations were considered in terms of potential
impacts on the adjacent residences. The initial site plan called
for most receiving functions to be located at the rear of the store
along the western wall of the store building. A revised site plan
10
- 11~
was subsequently developed which retained the refuse compactor and
the meat receiving door along the western side, but relocated the
grocery receiving dock, well and ramp along the north side of the
building adjacent to J street.
In order to quantify the typ~cal range of noise activity levels at
the rear of a grocery store, a noise measurement study was
conducted at a market that has a similar relationship to adjoining
residences as the proposed Lucky Store at Third and "J" in Chula
Vista. Measurements were made for almost two days at an older
store in Irvine from a Wednesday evening to around noon on Friday.
The measurement location was near the rear property line at around
a 60 foot setback from the rear of the store wall. Produce, meat
and grocery receiving were on open pads and an open truck dock
along the length of the rear of this store. Some car traffic uses
this alley to circle the store, but the primary noise source is
from grocery store activities. Results of these measurements (in
dB[A]) were as follows:
01/20-21/93

* - assuming Friday PM was similar to Thursday PM
At this older store, the meat cooler refrigeration unit was built
into the wall above the receiving door with the compressor running
24 hours per day. Since this represents old construction and noise
generation technology, another store was tested on March 9-10, 1993
with its refrigeration unit mounted on the roof within a sound-
proofed enclosure. The measurement data at 30 feet from the rear
of the store were as follows:
11
__/1)1/
24-hour CNEL 65.3 dB
Peak Hour Leq 73.5 dB
Noisiest Hour 9-10 AM
I-Second Max. 101.0
Time of Max. 10-11 AM
If the above readings at 30 feet from the loading ramp are adjusted
for the 40 foot setback proposed for the Chula vista store, the 24-
hour CNEL is 62.8 dB. These measurements show that even with the
ramp/deck and other loading and unloading facilities along the rear
of the store, a 40-foot setback would be adequate to meet the City
of Chula vista noise standard. The margin of safety is adequate to
allow for day-to-day variation and still meet the standard.
Unfortunately, meeting the standard is no guarantee that a noise
nuisance will not exist. Peak noise hours in the 9-11 AM time
period had maxima in the mid-70 dB range with impulses of 90-100
dB. Even with typical structural attenuation of 15 dB, the
interior of homes adjacent to the project site would still have
average readings in the 60 dB range and peaks into the 80's. While
the 24-hour CNEL may be within acceptable standards, residents
exposed to these noise levels would still find site activities
intrusive.
To reduce noise intrusion potential, the proposed project site
incorporates several additional noise minimization features. In
the latest site plan, the grocery receiving facility has been
relocated to the north side of the building with the well opening
further facing eastward to minimize westward noise propagation. A
6-foot landscaped block wall is also proposed for the western site
boundary that will provide an additional 6-8 dB of noise reduction
for off-site ground floor receivers west of the grocery store.
Several additional time constraints on noise-generating activities
are proposed as conditions on any required use permit to further
insure noise compatibility with adjacent residents.
The overall conclusion is that a new facility~ould meet the City's
noise standard at the nearest residences as initially configured as
long as all mechanical equipment was roof-mounted and sound-
protected. Relocation of the receiving/loading dock and addition
of a 6-foot landscaped masonry wall increases the margin of safety
to not only meet the standard, but also reduce the nuisance
potential from individual noise events (especially within the 9-11
AM peak noise period). A few additional measures are proposed
under operational activity noise mitigation.
12
_IV; ~
NOISE IMPACT MITIGATION
Traffic noise impacts the Lucky store relocation represent only a
minor increase in existing exposure. Noise changes along site .~
access roadways do not create an unacceptable exposure, but only
increase noise levels by an incrementally small and generally
imperceptible amount. No noise impact mitigation is indicated as
being required.
Operational noise impacts from project implementation are
incorporated into project design by maximizing the distance
separation between residences and receiving/loading facilities,
including orientation of the loading dock well opening facing away
from residences. A landscaped 6-foot block wall along the western
site boundary is included for additional noise protection.
Additional operational measures recommended to condition the
project include:
1. No delivery truck traffic shall occur in the alley between the
rear of the store and the nearest homes from 10 PM to 7 AM.
2.
No truck/trailers shall be
mechanical equipment such
running during the time from
parked in the alley with any
as refrigerator/freezer units
10 PM - 7 AM.
3. The trash compactor shall not be operated between the hours
from 10 PM - 7 AM, Monday through Friday, 10 PM - 8 AM on
Saturdays, and 10 PM - 9 AM on Sundays and holidays.
4. Refuse or recycled cardboard trucks shall not collect waste
materials during those times when operation of the refuse
compactor is prohibited.
Short-term construction noise intrusion should be limited by
conditions on construction permits to weekday hours with least
noise sensitivity recommended to be from 7 AM to 5 PM except in an
emergency. Those same permits should also specify construction
access routing to minimize construction truck traffic past any
existing residential or other noise sensitive uses in the vicinity
of the site. The sound wall recommended to mitigate operational
activity noise potential should be one of the first site
improvements constructed to also assist in screening site
construction noise impacts. The western perimeter wall and the
construction time limits on operation of motorized equipment will
maintain temporary construction noise impacts at less than
significant levels.

1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this repon is to document the assumptions, methodologies, and findings
of the Lucky Grocery Store Traffic Impact Analysis Project. The primary focus of this repon is
to document existing and future ttaffic conditions in the immediate study area adjacent to the
project site and to provide a thorough review of the proposed project site plan. The remainder of
this chapter provides a description of the proposed project and a summary of the traffic
engineering topics covered in this report.
BACKGROUND
American Stores Propenies, Inc., the project developer, is proposing the construction of a
50,000 square foot grocery store and 12,900 square feet of associated retail commercial space on
a 5.8 acre site located on the southwest quadrant of the intersection at J Street/Third A venue in
Central Chula Vista. A total of 315 parking spaces will be constructed on the project site to
serve the grocery store and the other retail commercial uses. The project site location is shown in
Figure I-I, and the proposed project site plan is shown in Figure 1-2.
The project site is currently occupied by a church and a pre-school facility. Church
services typically accommodate 400 people, and approximately 125 children attend the pre-
school facility on a regular basis. Currently, these is an existing Lucky Grocery Store located on
the nonhwest quadrant of the J Streetffhird Avenue intersection. The project proponent
envisions the relocation of this grocery store to the project site, while the existing building will'
be occupied by other retail commercial uses.
REPORT ORGANIZATION
This repon consists of three major sections. The fIrSt pan details the existing and future
circulation conditions in the project study area, and the second pan provides a thorough ttaffic
engineering review of the proposed project site plan configuration. The final section summarizes
the necessary circulation and project site design mitigation measures that will be required for
implementation of the proposed project.
The circulation analysis focuses on the existing and future roadway segment operations in
the immediate area of the project site and intersection operations at the primary study area
intersection of J Street/Third Avenue. Existing peak hour traffic volumes were obtained from the
City of Chula Vista Engineering Depanment. As the proposed project is expected to be
implemented in the near future, the analysis assumed that the proposed project would be open
and fully operational by the Year 1995. With consideration for "passerby trips," the ponion of
vehicles that visit the project site but would already be on the adjacent roadway network, project

project site are compared to that of the proposed projecL Project site contribution to daily and
peak hour traffic volumes is detailed, and analysis of impacts is provided.
Additionally. a safety review of the intersections of J Street/fhird Avenue adjacent to the
project site was conducted. This review involved the analysis of the accident history at this
intersection over a three year period (1989-1992).
The second part of this repon details the detailed project site design It:view conducted for
this analysis. This section details the adequacy of the number and location of the proposed
project site access points. Also, given the close proximity of the Post Office. located to the south
of the project site and the shon distance from the J Street/Third Avenue intersection to the
proposed project access driveways, special attention is given to the storage capacity provided for
vehicles attempting to turn into the project site via Third Avenue. A detailed review of internal
circulation. and an identification of conflict points with passenger vehicles, delivery trucks, and
pedestrians are provided. The issue of truck access, minimum turning radius, and circulation is
also described. A review of the adequacy of the planned parking supply. design, and passenger
vehicle circulation is included in this section. Special consideration is given to pedestrian safety,
flow and potential conflict points in this repon. Recommendations for revisions to the proposed
project site plan are detailed in this chapter.
This repon concludes with a summary of the major fmdings and recommendations
developed for this traffic impact analysis project.

2. CIRCULATION
INTRODUCTION
This chapter details the assumptions, methodologies and findings of the transportation
impact analysis conducted for the Lucky Grocery Store projecL The existing conditions of
roadway segments immediately adjacent to .the project site and at the study area intersection of J
StreetfI'hird A venue are defmed. Future conditions are also detailed, including estimates l)f daily
and PM peak hour trip generation for the existing and planned land uses under the proposed
project scenario. Driveway and passerby trips are estimated and the total new trips are
distributed onto the study area circulation network. The resulting circulation system conditions
are then assessed.
The following data sources were used to define existing traffic volumes in the vicinity of
the project site:
. City of Chula Vista Engineering Department, Traffic Flow Report, December 18,
1991.
. City of Chula Vista Engineering Department, 1992 Traffic Monhorin!! Prol!Tam,
Arterial Se!!ment Level of Service ReDort.
. City of Chula Vista Engineering Department, PM peak hour turning movement
counts taken on October 27. 1992.
METHODOLOGIES AND THRESHOLD STANDARDS
In order to assess the existing and future daily segment levels of service. JHK utilized the
methodologies and threshold standards adopted by the City of Chula Vista. Segment operating
conditions are defined using the City's Roadway Capacity and Level of Service Standards for
average daily traffic volumes (ADT). The maximum desired ADT levels for Level of Service
(LOS) C conditions are shown in Table 2-1. The basis for the development of this table was the
Chula Vista General Plan Circulation Element (June 1989). Additional sources which provide
further traffic engineering criteria used in the development of this table included the City of
Chula Vista Street Design Standards (July 1988) and San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) regional modeling input parameters and guidelines. The values shown on Table 2-1
are not an exact description of the actual operating level of service. The actual functional
capacity of roadway facilities are based on the ability of arterial intersections to achieve
acceptable levels of service. High quality intersection design could result in higher segment
capacity and thus, higher volumes may occur on arterial segments than those shown on Table 2-1
while maintaining adequate perfonnance levels. Therefore. for arterial segments capacity
analyses under existing and future (near-tenn) analyses. it is recommended that al1 study area

segments be reviewed to detennine if the segment operates under or over the recommended LOS
threshold (LOS C). This planning tool does, however, provide a guideline which indicates where
further analysis is required, while peak hour intersection level of service provides the primary
source of information on which actual circulation system performance is based under existing
and near-term future timeframes.
As a further check of roadway segment operations, JHK obtained information contained
in the 1992 Traffic Monitorinl! Prol!ram Arterial Sevment Levels of Service study prepared by
the City of Chula Vista Engineering DepanmenL This study utilized the "Urban and Suburban
Arterials" methodology outlined in the 1985 Hiv:hway Capacity Manual (HCM), Chapter II.
This methodology defines level of service, average travel speed, and travel time by direction of
travel. The City of Chula Vista has adopted a threshold standard of LOS C as measured by
observed travel speeds on all signalized arterial segments, except during peak hours, when LOS
D can occur for no more than any two hours of the day. The following table shows the level of
service values for arterial segments by average travel speed.

This report contains existing travel time data for informational purposes under existing
conditions only. For the analysis of project impacts it is recommended that peak hour
intersection operations be reviewed in detail as described below.
Signalized intersection operating conditions during the PM peak hour are assessed using
the "Operational Method" outlined in Chapter 9 of the HCM for signalized intersections. The
HCM methodology defines level of service as a function of vehicle "Stopped Time Delay."
Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost travel time. The
level of service criteria for signalized intersections is shown in Table 2-3. LOS A through C are
considered acceptable in all conditions, and LOS D is also considered acceptable in densely

developed urban study areas, such as the Lucky Grocery Store project area. Level of Service E
and F are considered unacceptable, and, if possible, mitigation measures should be implemented
to allow LOS A through D conditions to prevail under future conditions.
By achieving LOS A-D at all study area intersections under future conditions with the
proposed project, all City threshold standards related to performance standards for the circulation
system will be met.

EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
This section defines the current circulation network operating conditions on roadway
segments immediately adjacent to the project site and at the intersection of J Street/Third
Avenue. The purpose of the existing conditions analysis is to document existing segment and
intersection levels of service and to provide a baseline for determining project impacts.
Roadu'av Sevment Onerntions
Because of the limited area of impact expected from implementation of the proposed
project, the roadway segment operating analysis is confined to J Street between Fourth and
Second Avenues, and Third Avenue between I and K Streets. The roadway segments are all
classified as Class I and II Collector facilities. Table 2-4 summarizes the existing ADT, LOS C
capacities. and relationship to the adopted threshold standards of these four roadway segments.
As shown in this table, the segments in question currently experience traffic volumes below the
LOS C threshold. The following section details the existing average travel speed on roadway
segments in the project vicinity and the associated levels of service.

Using the HCM "Urban and Suburban Arterials" method for determining aneriallevel of
service as a function of average travel speed, the City's Anerial Segment Levels of Service study
included all but one of the study area roadway segments (the segment of 1 Street between Third
Avenue and Second Avenue was not included in this study), and an excerpt from this study is
shown on Table 2-5. As shown on this table, all study area roadway segments included in the
analysis currently operate at LOS B, above the ":Iinimum threshold standard of LOS C for
acceptable operations.

Although the average travel speed on I Street east of Third Street was not included in this
study, given that the average daily traffic volumes on I Street range from 11,370 west of Third
Avenue to 7,640 east of Third Avenue, it can be assumed that acceptable ancriallevels of service
prevail. The discussion of roadway segment level of service presented above is useful as a
planning tool to indicate where funher analysis is required. However, peak hour intersection
level of service provides the primary source of information on which actual circulation system
performance is based under Existing Conditions.
PM Peak Hour Intersection Ooerations
To analyze existing Year 1992 intersection operating conditions, PM peak hour turning
movements volumes at the intersection of J Street/fhird Avenue were obtained from the City.
Due to the proposed land uses (retail commercial), it was determined that the PM peak hour was
critical, since only a minimal amount of commercial traffic is expected during the morning peak
period (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM). Analyzing the peak hour is imponant because this generally
places the highest demand on the surrounding street system.
Level of Service for the PM peak hour was calculated using the "Operational Method" for
determining average vehicle stopped time delay as detailed previously in this chapter. The
results of this analysis are shown below:

Note: The peak hour factor (PHF) for the eastbound approach is .91 and for the westbound approach is .98.
As shown, the intersection currently experiences a PM peak hour level of service B on
each approach, with an overall intersection stopped time delay of 11.5 seconds per vehicle, well
within the LOS D threshold standard adopted by the City. The detailed HCM worksheets used in
this analysis are contained in Appendix A of this document.

The City has indicated that the occurrence of 19 accidents over a thirty four month period is not
atypical for an urban intersection such as J Street/Third Avenue. However. the characteristics of
these accidents indicate that the intersection may warrant traffic signal improvements to provide
left turn phasing. In addition, field observations indicate restrictions to Northboundl Southbound
left turn movements due to higher opposing traffic volumes and lack of adequate gaps during
peak periods. Thus. the City of Chula Vista should consider the provision of left turn phasing to
improve traffic operations at this intersection.
Summ3rv .. Exidinp Conditions
This section has documented the existing roadway segment conditions in terms of level of
service by average daily traffic volumes and average travel speed. Also PM peak hour
intersection operations were defined in terms of average vehicle stopped time delay. In each
instance. the calculated level of service for study area roadway segments and intersections were
found to operate in conformance with the adopted threshold standards. From an operational
standpoint, no roadway segment or intersection improvements are required at this time to
accommodate existing travel demand. The accident data compiled along with field observations
at the intersection of J Street/Third A venue indicates that the intersection may warrant traffic
signal improvements to provide left turn phasing. The City of Chula Vista should consider the
provision of this phasing to improve traffic operations at this intersection. The remainder of this
chapter presents the future operating conditions that can be expected with or without the
implementation of the proposed project

FUTURE CONDITIONS
This chapter defines the expected driveway and cumulative trip generation from the
existing land uses and the proposed project. Also, an estimate of future growth in traffic is
estimated. Project trips are distributed onto the adjacent roadway network and the resulting
circulation system operations are summarized.
Pa"~erhv Trin Contribution
As mentioned previously in this document, the issue of passerby trip contribution is
critical to the understanding of the actual impacts the proposed project will have on study area
roadway segments and the primary study area intersection (J Street/I'hird A venue). The traffic
which will result from the implementation of the proposed project is estimated using standard
trip generation rates and peak hour factors for each category of land use. These rates have been
developed by various agencies and summarized by SANDAG in their Traffic Generators manual.
According to SANDAG, the proposed 50,000 square foot grocery store will generate a total of
150 daily trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (GFA). The associated 12,000 square
feet of retail commercial space to be located on the site is expected to generate 40 daily trips per
1,000 square feet of GFA. Some of the trips generated by the project will already be on the street
system and linked with other trips. This type of driver behavior is known as "passerby trips".
The City of San Diego has completed research on passerby trips through detailed surveys at
similar sites in the City of San Diego. Passerby trips refer to a driver stopping at a commercial
establishment during the conduct of another trip, then continuing on the original trip. Therefore"
the vehicle is already on the adjacent street system and should not be "double counted" by the
gross traffic generation rate. The recommended cumulative or linked trip rate for a grocery store
and retail commercial spaces is 40 trips per 1,000 square feet of GF A. Thus, based on the City of
San Diego passerby study, approximately 74 percent of the total number of vehicles are assumed
to already be in the traffic stream. This trip reduction was confirmed with the City Traffic
Engineer (Mr. Harold Rosenberg, November 10,1992).
Trio (;e-nera.ionlDistrihufion
Using the standard SANDAG trip generation rates and the cumulative trip generation
rates developed by the City of San Diego, Table 2-7 summarizes the estimated daily and PM
peak hour traffic volumes associated with the project site under the existing land uses (church
and pre-school) and under the proposed project (grocery store and commercial shops). As shown
on this table, although the total daily trips generated by the site under the proposed project land
use scenario is almost ten times more than the daily trip under the existing land uses, when the
passerby trips are removed (to avoid double counting for vehicles already in the traffic stream

adjacent to the project site), the net increase in daily traffic volume is 1,507 vehicles daily and 62
vehicles in the PM peak hour.
It is important to understand that for the analysis of roadway segments and intersections
adjacent to the project site, the cumulative daily and peak hour trips are added to future traffic
volumes. For the analysis of internal circulation and driveway operations, the total daily trips
(cumulative plus passerby trips) are used.
The distribution of trips generally results from an estimation of ultimate travel
destinations and the determination of which elements of the street system would be used to reach
those destinations. The basis for this recognition is the driver's consideration of time, distance
and convenience, in choosing a route. Trip distribution for this project was based on JHK's
knowledge of traffic pattems in the Chula Vista area and previous experience with other similar
projects. Figure 2-1 shows the distribution of project traffic onto the adjacent roadway network.
As shown on this figure, it is assumed that the majority of the trips associated with the
project would access the site via Third A venue (seventy percent) and over half of these trips
would orient to and from the north on Third Avenue. Thirty percent of the project trips would
access the site via J Street, evenly split between east and west.
Figure 2-2 shows the assignment of the cumulative daily and peak hour trips generated by
the proposed Lucky Grocery Store project. These trips will be added to the projected traffic
volumes for Year 1995. The following section details the methodology and findings of the
future Year 1995 conditions analysis of the "No Project" Alternative, which assumes the existing
land uses on the site will remain unchanged, and the projected impacts of implementing the
proposed project.
FUTURE CONDITIONS ANALYSIS. YEAR 1995
The following assumptions were used in the projection of future Year 1995 traffic
volumes on the study area circulation network:
. First, since the existing Lucky Grocery Store building, currently located on the
northwest quadrant of the J Street/Third Avenue intersection, is expected to remain
and be converted into other retail uses, no reduction in trip generation from the site
has been assumed.
. Second, a standard annual growth rate of two percent has been applied to existing
daily and PM peak hour traffic volumes to simulate expected increases in traffic due
to other development projects in the City of Chula Vista. The resulting volumes were
used to define Year 1995 "No Project" conditions.
. Third, as stated in the previous section, only cumulative trips associated with the
project (total trips minus passerby trips) have added to the Year 1995 Base Condition
volumes.

rate of two percent, projected ADTs on J Street and Third Avenue are expected to exceed the
LOS C operating threshold under each land use scenario, with or without the proposed project.
Under the proposed project land use scenario, the project contributes two to three percent to the
total daily traffic volumes on these impacted segments.
As mentioned previously, the analysis of segment performance and impacts is only

Summarv. Future Year 1995 Conditions
The future conditions analysis described in the previous section revealed that the
following roadway segments are expected to experience daily traffic volumes in excess of the
LOS C threshold standards:
. J Street between 4th Avenue and Third Avenue
. Third Avenue between I Street and J Street
. Third Avenue between J Street and K Street
However, as stated previously, the PM peak hour intersection operations provide the primary
source of information on which the assessment of actual circulation system performance is based.
The PM peak hour intersection capacity analysis found the intersection to maintain level of
service B both with and without the implementation of the proposed Lucky Grocery Store
projecL Thus, from a circulation perspective, no significant impacts were found as a result of the
project under Year 1995 conditions. As stated previously in this chapter, the existing accident
data compiled for the intersection of 1 Street/I'hird Avenue along with field observations,
indicates that the intersection may warrant traffic signal improvements to provide left turn
phasing. However, the traffic generated from the proposed project site is not expected to
significantly contribute to the amount of accidents expected to occur at this intersection. To
improve the traffic operations at this intersection, the City of Chula Vista should consider the
provision of left turn phasing.

Annlvsis ofTmDncts - BuiJdout General Plan Condition~
The change in use from the existing church and day care center on the project site to the
proposed rewl commercial shopping center will have an impact on the adopted General Plan for
this portion of the City. Currently, the adopted General Plan land use assumptions designate this
parcel as Professional Office! Administrative which is different than the intended commercial use.
This change in land use will require a General Plan Amendment and rezoning of the area.
From a ttansportation planning perspective, however, the main issue is that regardless of
the type of use, will the total number of trips generated by the site remain approximately the
same. If the gross number of project trips are the same under both land use scenarios, then it can
be said that there will be no impact.
Since the determination of how much professional office space is not governed by preset
floor area ratio (FAR) requirements, the only limitation to the amount of development is the
required onsite parking. The City of Chula Vista currently requires I space for every 200 square
feet of GF A. Thus, approximately twenty percent more professional office space could be built
on the project site than would be allowed if the site were to be used for rewl commercial shops.
The SANDAG trip rate for office uses ranges from 20 daily trips per 1,000 square feet for a
medical office. The cumulative trip rate for rewl shops has been estimated to be 40 daily trips
per 1,000 square feet. Thus, with the range of possible uses under the General Plan land use
designation and the opportunity to increase the amount of office space beyond that allowed for
rewl commercial development (due to onsite paIking restraints) it is possible to conclude that no
significant impacts to the adopted General Plan Circulation Element will be created as a result of
the proposed General Plan Amendment and the associated rezoning of the project site.
As requested by the City of Chula Vista, IRK conducted a worst case traffic analysis of
potential trip generation for this site. Appendix C conwns a copy of this traffic analysis report
conducted in August 1993.
Concltl~ion
Based on the analysis of future traffic conditions (Year 1995 and Buildout General Plan),
it has been determined that no geometric improvements to the critical study intersection of ]
StreetlThird Avenue will be required. Thus, the existing geometric configuration of this
intersection will provide adequate capacity, and acceptable levels of service will result upon the
implementation of this project. It is anticipated that the project will be required to contribute to
the City of Chula Vista's Traffic Signal System Fee program along with other typical
development fees established by the City.
The following ,chapter dewls the project site design review conducted for this project

_/:J-1-
.
3. PROJECT SITE PLAN REVIEW
The proposed Lucky store site in Chula Vista was reviewed for site design requirements.
The issues addressed include:
. AdequacylIocation of proposed" site access points
. Internal circulation
. Truck access
. Adequacy of parking supply
. Parking design/circulation
. Pedestrian safety
JHK's comments of these issues follows:
1. The driveway on Third Avenue nearest J Street will pose conflicts with vehicles
making V-turns on Third Avenue and is too close to the intersection. Driveways
should be approximately 300' from the intersection.
2. The truck circulation within the project site provides adequate turning radii, but it
poses a conflict point with shoppers entering and exiting the store in front
3. the number of parking spaces proposed (315) is just adequate when based on 1
space/200 sft. Removal of any spaces would produce an inadequate number of
spaces.
4. Parking spaces are sometimes unusable because shopping carts are left in them'
instead of being returned to the store or cart corrals. The addition of cart corrals near
the middle of the parking rows would be beneficial.
5. The southern most entrance to the site (near the Moose Lodge) will have left turn
vehicles waiting for adequate gaps in the north/south traffic along Third A venue. As
these vehicles queue on-site. shoppers will not be able to back their cars out of their
parking stalls.
.
In order to improve the circulation. design, and operation of the proposed Lucky site.
JHK suggests the following recommendations:
1. Remove the northern most driveway along Third Avenue.
2. Reconfigure the parking aisle along the southern driveway to eliminate parking
conflicts.
.
One solution for preventing conflicts with vehicles making V-turns on Third Avenue and
vehicles accessing the project site would be to consolidate the two driveways on Third Avenue
into one central driveway located at the center of the property frontage on Third Avenue.

~/;)~~
However, the most efficient way of resolving site access issues is for the Project Proponent and
the Project Architect to meet with the City Traffic Engineer directly to best address City
concerns regarding access.

4. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
EXISTING CIRCULATION CONDITIONS
The calculated level of service for study area roadway segments and intersections were
found to be in conformance with the adopted threshold standards from an operation standpoint,
no roadway segment or intersection improvements are required at this time to accommodate
existing travel demand. As a condition of development the City of Chula Vista should require
the dedication of additional right-of-way along the northern property line of the proposed site.
This additional right-of-way will allow for the construction of a new exclusive right turn only
lane for eastbound J Street traffic to proceed southbound on Third Avenue.
.
FUTURE YEAR 1995 CONDITIONS
The future conditions analysis of roadway segment capacity revealed that Third Avenue
between I Street and K Street and J Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue would
experience daily traffic volumes in excess of the LOS C threshold standards. However, since the
PM peak hour intersection operations provide the primary source of information on which the
assessment of actual circulation system performance is based. and the intersection of J
StreetfThird Avenue was found to maintain LOS B both with and without the implementation of
the proposed Lucky Grocery Store project, no significant impacts were found under Year 199~
conditions. The accident data compiled for the intersection of J StreetfThird A venue indicates
that the intersection may warrant traffic signal improvements to provide left turn phasing to
improve traffic operations at this intersection. It is anticipated that the project will be required to
contribute to the City's Traffic Signal Fee program along with other development fees established
by the City but no specific geometrics mitigation measures are required for this project.
PROJECT SITE PLAN REVIEW
In order to improve the circulation design. and operation of the proposed Lucky site. JHK
suggests the removal of the northem most driveway along Third Avenue and the reconfiguration
of the parking aisle along the southern driveway to eliminate parking conflicts. It is
recommended that the Project Proponent consult with the City Traffic Engineer to develop the
fmal site access plan for the site.

RE: Draft Technical Report - Lucky Site Rezoning Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Mr. Guth:
JHK & Associates (JHK) is pleased to submit this Draft Technical Report for the Lucky
Site Rezoning Traffic Impact Analysis. This report documents the potential daily and peak hour
trip generation for each land use scenario and evaluates the potential for "passerby trip" behavior
for the types of land uses proposed for the site under each scenario. Given these land use and
peak hour trip generation assumptions, Year 1995 peak hour intersection operations are evaluated
at the primary project intersection located at Third A venue/J Street in Chula Vista.
BACKGROUND
Proposed Project
American Stores Properties, Inc., the project developer, is proposing the construction of
a 50,000 square foot grocery store and 12,900 square feet of associated retail commercial spacC'
on 5.8 acre site located on the southwest quadrant of the intersection at J Street/Third Avenue
in Central Chula Vista. A total of 315 parking spaces will be constructed on the project site to
serve the grocery store and the other retail commercial uses. Attendant with the development
of the Lucky Grocery Store project is a rezoning of the site from Professional Office to
Commercial land use.
Trip Generation Rates
The issue of passerby trip contribution is critical to the understanding of the actual
impacts the proposed project will have on the primary study area intersection of J Street/Third
Avenue. Based on adopted SANDAG trip generation rates, the proposed 50,000 square foot
grocery store will generate a total of 150 daily trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area
(GFA). The associated 12,900 square feet of retail commercial space to be located on the site
is expected to generate 40 daily trips per 1,000 square feet of GFA.
Some of the trips generated by the project will already be on the street system and linked
with other trips. This type of driver behavior is known as "passerby trips." The City of San
Diego has completed research on passerby trips through detailed surveys at similar sites in the
_!iPJ.--
_jhk '" aSSOCiates
Mr. Jeff Guth
August 23. 1993
Page 2
City of San Diego. The reconunended cumulative or linked trip rate for a grocery store and retail
conunercial spaces is 40 trips per 1.000 square feet of GFA. Thus. based on the City of San
Diego Passerby Study. approximately 69 percent of the total number of vehicles associated with
!.'e proposed site were assumed to already be in the traffic stream. This trip reduction was
confmned with the City Traffic Engineer (Mr. Harold Rosenberg. November 10. 1992).
Trip GenerationlDistribution
Table 1 sununarizes the estimated daily PM peak hour traffic volumes associated with the
proposed project (grocery store and conunercial shops). As shown on this table. although the
total daily trips generated by the site under the proposed project land use scenario would be over
8.000. the actual amount of new trips (those not already in the traffic stream for other trip
purposes) would be approximately 2.516. During the PM peak hour. a total of 206 new trips
would be added to the Year 1995 traffic volumes as a result of the proposed project (see Final
Repon).
It is imponant to understand that for the analysis of roadway segments and intersections
adjacent to the project site. the cumulative daily and peak hour trips were added to future traffic
volumes. For the analysis of internal circulation and driveway operations. the total daily trips
(cumulative plus passerby trips) would be used.
Traffic Impact Analysis Assumptions
The following assumptions were used in the projection of future Year 1995 traffic
volumes on the study area circulation network:
. First. since the existing Lucky Grocery Store building. currently located on the
nonhwest quadrant of the J Street/Third A venue intersection. is expected to remain
and be convened into other retail uses. no reduction in trip generation from the
existing site has been assumed.
. Second. a standard annual growth rate of two percent has been applied to existing
daily and PM peak hour traffic volumes to simulate expected increases in traffic
due to other development projects in the Qty of Chula Vista. The resulting
volumes were used to define Year 1995 "No Project" conditions.
. Third. as stated in the previous section. only cumulative trips associated with the
project (total trips minus passerby trips) were added to the Year 1995 Base
Condition volumes.
. No changes to the existing intersections geometries and signal phasing were
assumed.

Intersection Capacity Analysis
Table 2 summarizes the forecasted PM peak hour intersection operating conditions under
the Proposed Project land use scenario. As shown on this table. even with the two percent annual
growth in traffic. the intersection of 1 Street/Third A venue is expected to maintain LOS B
conditions. Under the proposed project land use scenario. the project contributes four percent
to the total PM peak hour entering volumes at this intersection. Appendix B of this document
contains the detailed HCM worksheets used in this analysis.

Summary
The analysis conducted for the proposed project concluded that from a circulation
perspective. no significant impacts would occur as a result of the project under Year 1995 _
conditions. The traffic generated from the proposed project site is not expected to significantly
impact traffic operations at this intersection.
CITY'S LAND USE SCENARIO
With the completion of the rezoning as required for the Lucky Grocery Store Project,
there is a possibilty that the project site could be developed with additional intensity beyond that
of the proposed projecL

Based on applicable development regulations and required land area set asided to meet
the development regulations as they pertain to the Lucky Store Site, the City determined that the
approximate maximum amount of development that could occur on the site is as follows:
Land Use Tvpe
Total
Square Foota!!e
RetaiVCommercial Shops
(Same Proportious as Proposed Project)
95,000
Conunercial Office
150,000
For the puposes of this analysis, it was assumed that twice the amount of GFA as the
proposed project would be constructed, with the same mix and proportion of land uses. This
condition would produce a "worst case" analysis with a total of approximately 125,800 square
feet of retaiVcommercial shops in the same proportion as the proposed projecL
Table 3 shows the assumed land use, and peak hour cumulative trips that could be
generated on the site uner the City's Land Use Scenario. As shown on this table, the project site
could generate over 16,000 daily trips, with 5,032 new daily trips (minus 69% passerby tirps).
During the PM peak hour, 312 additional trips would be added to the 1995 volumes as result of,
the City's Land Use Scenario. For the Commercial office scenario of 150,000 square feet, a total
of 2,550 new trips would be generated. This value represents the approximate loading of the
propsed project without the increase in developmenL Thus, only the RetaiVCommercial shops
alternative with a doubling of allowable square footage was tested.
Traffic Impact Anal)'sis . Assumpitons
The following assumptions were used to determin Year 1995 traffic conditions under the
City's land Use Scenario:
. The same distibution developed for the "proposed project" was used.
. Only cumulative trips (total trips minus passerby trips) were added to year 1995
Base Condition Volumes.
. No changes to the existing geometries and signal phasing were assumed.

Summary
The PM peak hour capacity analysis found that the intersection of I StteetlThird Avenue
would maintain LOS B with both the proposed project and the City's Land Use Scenario, that
represents twice the level of development of the proposed project Thus, from a circulation
perspective, no significant impacts were found as a result of the proposed project or the City's .
Land Use Scenario under Year 1995 conditions.
It is important to recognize that as a result of the original traffic analysis conducted for
the proposed project, the project applicant has committed to providing an additional lane at the
subject intersection. This additional lane would be placed along the norhtern edge of the
property, on I Street, and would allow for an exclusive right turn only lane for eastbound to
southbound movement Also, the City is still considering the possibility of providing exclusive
_ I t!-

(protected) left turn phasing on Third A venue for nonhbound and southbound turning movements.
This would assist drivers in the completion of left turns at this intersection which are difficult
under peak conditions today due to lack of adequate gaps in nonh/south through traffic.
It has been a pleasure working with American Stores Properties and FORMA on this
project H you have any questions regarding methodologies. assumptions. or findings of this

RE:
Lucky Store #257 Site
August 17, 1993
DATE:
We have reviewed the information you provided relative to noise
impacts from development of the proposed project site. The issues
we evaluated were as follows:
1. What constraints should be placed on site uses in a CUP if the
site is developed as a grocery store and ancillary retail
uses.
2. What is the worst-case noise impaot potential for commercial
development if the site is not developed as a grocery store.
For development as a grocery store, we determined that noise
impacts would be less than significant if a 6-foot block wall is
constructed along the western s1 te boundary and a number of
operational constraints were adopted as follows:
1. No delivery truck traffic shall occur in the alley between the
rear of the store and the nearest homes from 10 PM to 7 AM.
2.
No truck/trailers shall be
mechanical equipment such
running during the time trom
parked in the alley with any
as refrigerator/freezer units
10 PM - 7 AM.
3. The trash compactor shall not be operated between the hours
from 10 PM - 7 AM, Monday through Friday, 10 PM.- 8 AM on
Saturdays, and 10 PM - 9 AM on Sundays and holidays.
4. Refuse or recycled cardboard truoks shall not collect waste
materials during those times when operation of the refuse
compactor is prohibited.

The hours of operation do not measurably affect the noise impact at
the adjacent homes because the building shell will almost totally
block noise propagation from cars in the parking lot as the only
significant noise source. We do not believe that sales hours will
have any adverse effect as long as the above conditions are met.
We reviewed thE list of permitted uses that coul~ be located on the
property if a non-conditional use were developed instead of the
grocery store. The uses that have noise impact potential include:
,
Automobile Installation of Accessories
Animal Hospital
Appliance Repair (major)
Bars, Lounges, Cabarets
Dancing Studios - Nightclubs
Drive-in and Sit-down Restaurants
Health Studios and spas
Lawn Mower Repair
Music SChools/Stores
Newspaper Publishing
parking Lots/Garages (commercial)
Pet Shops
our recommendation to limit possible noise impact is to establish
r~oise performance standard for any potentially noisy alternative
uses. ~'~ ;:r'lll",ondatio~r__-aPP:l:'Opriate perfo"""..nce standard
"wolild b h ny site use should not create noise levels exceedifiq
65 dB by day or 55 dB at night (10 PM - 7 AM) at the property line
of the nearest residential use.~ If there is some way to
incorporate such a standard into any conditions of approval for the
current proposed action, it would provide an adequate safeguard for
the existing residences regardless of the ultimate site use.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution 17 J .?'c:?Amending the Fiscal Year 1993-94 Budget to
Upgrade 1.0 Police Peace Officer to Police Sergeant Supervise the Police
Department's Street Team, and, appropriating and transferring funds
therefor. :-'
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of POlicetvvJ I~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ b~ tA~ (4/5th's Vote: Yes...x.. No_)
As part of the FY 1993-94 budget process, the Police Department requested an additional five
Peace Officer positions, funded through Development Impact Fees, to provide the Chief of
Police more flexibility to address the increasing number of street robberies. The proposed
Resolution would upgrade one of the five Peace Officer positions approved in the FY 1992-93
budget to Police Sergeant. The additional Police Sergeant is needed to ensure the effectiveness
of the Street Team and to appropriately integrate its efforts with those of on-duty patrol officers.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution
The FY 1993-94 budget included a total of 86.0 Peace Officer positions, an increase of 7.0
positions over the FY 1992-93 budget. All seven of the additional positions were designated to
achieve the Police Department's primary goal: preventing crime before it occurs. Two of the
additional positions resulted in veteran staff being assigned to positions as School Resource
Officers. The cost of the two School Resource Officers, who have been in place since the first
summer session, are shared equally by the Police Department and the Sweetwater Unified High
School District. The other five additional positions will free-up experienced staff to form a
"Street Team." The five person Street Team will provide proactive law enforcement services
designed to reduce street crime.
The Street Team will employ a non-traditional approach in its effort to prevent crime before it
occurs. The officers will develop a network of professional and street-level relationships to
enhance criminal intelligence. Such intelligence will aid in a variety of law enforcement
activities that will help prevent crime. The Street Team will work both in their uniforms and
in plain clothes assignments. This will enable the Team to have a presence on the street to deter
crime while retaining the flexibility to gain the tactical benefits of plain clothes when
appropriate. The Street Team will work irregular hours based on the needs of the community.
By working at irregular hours, criminals will simultaneously be aware of an increased
enforcement effort and be kept off-guard. Additionally, the Street Team will provide the regular
/tJ- /
Page 2, Item / tJ
Meeting Date 11109/93
staff of Uniform Patrol Division a flexible resource that can be utilized on an as-needed basis.
U sing this same proactive, cooperative and resource-focusing approach, the Regional Auto Theft
Task Force, Gang Detail and School Resource Officers have been successful in preventing crime
and reducing related Uniform Patrol Division resource commitments.
The original plan to staff the Street Team included that it be supervised by the Sergeant in
charge of the Crime Suppression Unit. Upon further review, staff determined this would not
be the appropriate supervisory arrangement for the Street Team. The original plan would have
increased the CSU Sergeant's span of control from eight persons in three functional details (local
narcotics, regional narcotics and gang unit) to thirteen persons in four functional details. The
Chief of Police and his management staff concurred that this span of control was probably too
wide to provide the Street Team sufficient supervision -- especially during its formative period.
Additionally, it is now clear that the Street Team will need to work in direct, daily contact with
patrol officers to effect the exchange of street level intelligence and, thereby, maximize the
team's crime prevention efforts. Therefore, if the proposed Resolution is approved the Police
Department will place the Street Team under the supervision of a new Police Sergeant in the
Uniform Patrol Division.
The additional Sergeant's position will be an important component in the Street Team's success.
The Street Team will be a proactive, flexible crime suppression unit. The Street Team's goal
will be to prevent crime before it occurs. To accomplish that goal, the Street Team Sergeant
will have to be focused, creative and resourceful with his staff, in the community and on the
street. Cooperative, information-sharing relationships will need to be developed with other units
of the Police Department, with other agencies and on the street. Specific crime-related
objectives will have to be identified, approved and intercedant tactics successfully implemented.
The Street Team will have to be in a constant evolutionary process with new approaches and
tactics being identified and attempted in order to keep pace with a dynamic criminal element.
Because the Street Team will work a flexible schedule, a dedicated Sergeant will be able to
employ and participate in such unconventional tactical methods without incurring significant
overtime expenses. It is the Police Department's conclusion that it will require a dedicated
Sergeant to bring together, and utilize effectively, these diverse resources and tactical advantages
to reduce street crime. A dedicated Sergeant can direct all his/her supervisory and field
experience toward developing the most effective Street Team possible.
Using one of the existing Sergeants assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division to supervise the
Street Team is not recommended at this time. There are three concerns with adding the Street
Team to the duties of one of the Sergeants currently budgeted in Patrol. Primarily, the existing
Patrol Division Sergeants supervise the Peace Officers and Police Agents on their shift. A patrol
shift has between eleven and seventeen Officers and Agents on duty depending upon several
staffing and call for service variables. Tbe first concern, then, is that adding five more staff to
an existing Sergeants supervisory duties would create span of control/supervision issues. The
second issue is one of equity. Maintaining a balanced workload among persons in the same job
Jt7-~
Page 3, Item ) tJ
Meeting Date 11109/93
classification and serving in the same assignment is a rational management practice. Adding the
Street Team would be a significant increase to one of the ten Patrol Sergeant's duties. If one
of the existing Sergeants in Patrol was responsible for supervising the Street Team, his/her duties
would be substantially more time consuming and complex than those of his/her peer Sergeants.
Finally, there is the concern that one person may not be capable of supervising both a regular
Patrol shift and the Street Team. A Patrol Sergeant works a pre-set schedule based upon his/her
shift. The Street Team's unconventional tactics, as described partially above, will necessitate
the Street Team Sergeant work a flexible schedule. It is very likely that there would be many
instances where, based upon the tactics required to catch street criminals, a Sergeant supervising
the Street Team and a patrol shift would be required to work significant hours either before or
after his/her normal shift. Collectively, the effect of using an existing Patrol Sergeant to
supervise the Street Team would both detract from the quality of supervision provided to patrol
officers and undermine the overall effectiveness of the Street Team.
Based upon these rationales, the proposed Resolution recommends that one of the positions
budgeted at the Peace Officer level be upgraded to Police Sergeant. The Street Team will
increase the Police Department's flexibility by increasing the array of alternative enforcement
actions it can employ. Placing the Street Team within the Patrol Division will provide for the
necessary integration of effort among members of the Street Team and regular uniformed
officers. This recommendation will also ensure that Street Team's supervisor is given every
opportunity to succeed in reducing the incidence of street crime in Chula Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal Year 1993-94 fiscal impact is estimated at $15,942 based upon the
personnel expenses associated with a November 1st Police Sergeant's
appointment versus the personnel expenses associated with 1.0 Peace
Officer trainee currently budgeted for the Street Team. FY 1993-94
expenses associated with the recommended position upgrade will be
reimbursed by Development Impact Fees.
Attachment 1 provides account specific information on the recommended
transfers within the FY 1993-94 budget. The transfers are required to
effect the budgetary transition of 5.0 Peace Officer positions from
Investigative Divsion, where these positions were originally budgeted, to
the Uniform Patrol Division. The Street Team is more appropriately
placed within the Uniform Patrol Division for the reasons cited above.
Subsequent fiscal year fiscal impact is estimated at approximately $16,966
based upon the difference in personnel expenses between 1.0 Peace
Officer and 1.0 Police Sergeant at "E" step. Non-personnel expenses are
approximately similar for either position. These costs will be borne by
the General Fund.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution / '} 3 Cl / Boundary lot adjustment for Sanibelle
Partnership and authorization for Mayor to sign boundary adjustment map
and grant deeds
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Parks and RiJecr tio~
Director of Public Wor ~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ ~ . (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No...K..)
Sanibelle Partners has requested a boundary lot adjustment of the property line along Hidden
Vista Drive to establish property line at the top of slope.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the boundary lot adjustment and authorize
Mayor to sign adjustment map and the grant deeds.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In the course of construction of the Sanibelle Development along Hidden Vista Drive in the Terra
Nova area, the developer expressed concern that the property line was at the bottom of the slope.
These concerns were twofold: First, location of fence at the bottom of slope would not be
consistent with the rest of development. Boundary fences are established at the top of slope.
Secondly, the landscape on the downslope would require maintenance by the Open Space District.
While this is not a large slope (1,117 sq. ft.), it could represent maintenance access problems for
the Open Space contractors.
Staff has reviewed the situation and believes it would be most advantageous to shift the property
line to the top of slope. This would make the slope landscape a responsibility of the homeowners
and would eliminate the potential problems expressed by the developer. It would also provide
a boundary fence consistent with the entire project. Sanibelle Partnership also proposed to adjust
property line at the northwest corner to transfer property (231 sq. ft.) to the open space. This
would allow a smooth transition to the property line north of this project.
FISCAL IMPACT: There would be a slight decrease in open space maintenance cost.

Meeting Date 11/9/93
ITEM TITLE: Resolution / ?3t1"<'approving a sewer connection and annexation
agreement with Francisco J. Mares and Mai T. Do, at 4017 Palm Drive
and authorizing the Mayor to execute same on behalf of the City
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public wor'1'~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ bb~1 (4/5 Vote: Yes_ No X )
In accordance with Council Policy 570-02, Francisco Javier Mares and Mai Tuyet Do have
executed the required agreement in order to connect their property (in the unincorporated area
of the County) to City sewer. The agreement is now ready for execution by the City.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department, with the assistance of the Planning Department and the City
Attorney has developed a standard sewer connection/annexation agreement, which has been
executed by the owners of a vacant lot at 4017 Palm Drive in Bonita. The Council adopted
Policy No. 570-02 (Amended) in June of 1992, which required certain conditions to be met in
order to connect to City sewer, if the property is outside the City.
In this case, if the property was annexed, it would create an island of unincorporated land (see
Exhibit "A"). Since the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) does not
allow such islands to be created, the property may not annex immediately and must wait until
such time as several other properties also annex in accordance with Section 2 of Policy 570-02.
That section includes the following requirements, which have been incorporated into the
agreement:
. At the time the City determines that the property may be annexed it may direct
the applicant to submit a petition and application to LAFCO and the owner shall
diligently prosecute the completion of annexation.
. The applicant shall deposit with the City ("Delayed Annexation Deposit") in an
amount equal to twice the current Sewer Capacity Fee at $2,220 per EDU
($4,440.00), plus an amount of one-half of the total fees and deposits required by
the City and by LAFCO for annexation and the processes leading up to
annexation, including deposits for an Initial Study and Pre-Zoning processes,
equal to $4,500.00, for a total of $8,940.00.
/c2 -/
Page 2, Item
/c2
Meeting Date 11/9/93
· Except for the portion of the Delayed Annexation Deposit charged initially for the
LAFCO filing fees, that deposit will be retained by the City for any purpose and
shall be transferred into the General Fund to offset any administrative, overhead
or other costs the City incurs as a result of providing municipal services outside
the City and the loss of general fund revenues caused by the property being
outside the City.
· The applicant shall pay City's usual sewer connection fees related to the project
(Administration Fee ($30.00), Tap Fee ($317.00), Sewer Capacity Fee
($2,220.00), Spring Valley Assessment ($130 per acre @ 1.16 ac. = $150.80) and
Front Footage Charge for sewer construction per Ordinance No. 997 ($1,840.00),
totalling $4,557.80).
· The applicant shall not protest any current or future procedures to annex the
property.
Total fees and deposits of $13,497.80 have been paid to the City by the owners, along with the
agreement signed by them, with proper notarization. The agreement is now ready for Council
approval. Staff recommends that Council adopt the subject resolution, authorizing the Mayor
to sign it on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: A deposit of $6,940.00 has gone into the City's General Fund in
accordance with Council Policy 570-02.

COVENANTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Parties agree as follows:
B
This box is to be initialed by the parties if Section A, Annexation Agreement
applies. If it is initialed, Owner and City will be bound by the provisions of
Section A and Section C; and if the annexation attempt fails, by Section Band
Section C. If it is not initialed, the parties will be bound by the provisions of
Section Band C without being bound by the provisions of Section A.
Section A.
1. First Annex Agreement under Section 1 of Policy.
1.1 Annexation Petition and Application.
Owner agrees to forthwith file the formal petition for annexation of the Property to the
City ("Petition for Annexation" or "Petition") and an application for annexation ("Application
for Annexation" or "Application") of the Property to City with the LAFCO, a copies of which
are attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and Exhibit "C", and the originals of which is on file with
LAFCO. Owner agrees to diligently and in good faith prosecute both Petition and Application
to completion with the goal of obtaining the annexation of the Property to the City.
1.2 Application for Prezoning.
Owner understands that as a condition to annexation, Owner must apply to the City to
have the Property pre-zoned ("Application for Prezone"), a discretionary act which will require
a certain amount of environmental review. Owner agrees to forthwith file a formal application
for prezoning with the City ("Prezone Application"), complete an application for an initial study,
and comply with all other rules and regulations of the City. Owner agrees to diligently and in
good faith prosecute the Application for Prezone to completion with the goal of prezoning the
Property.
1.3 Immediate Effort Deposit
Owner agrees to pay Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty dollars, United States currency,
($6,660.00) to City as a deposit to secure Owner's performance in good faith and with best
efforts under this agreement ("Immediate Effort Deposit"). Such deposit will be held by City
until after annexation is complete. After annexation is completed, the City shall refund such
Immediate Effort Deposit with such interest as the City Finance Director determines as the
average interest earnings of similarly situated City funds during the relevant time period. If the
annexation effort fails, the Immediate Effort Deposit shall be handled under the provision of
Section 1.5 ("Failure of Annexation Petition and/or Application").
Page 2 J')_~
1.4 Authority to Connect.
Owner may proceed with construction necessary to implement the Proposed Connection
upon the filing of the Petition, Application, and Prezone Application and payment of fees and
Immediate Effort Deposit required by this Subsection, and the aforementioned provisions of this
Agreement.
1.4.1 Owner agrees to construct the Proposed Connection to City's sewer system
in conformance with all applicable Federal, State, County, and City laws and
regulations, including, without limitation, building and health and safety codes.
1.4.2 No construction of the Proposed Connection and related improvements
shall be undertaken without the written approval of the City's City Engineer and
a plumbing permit from the agency in whose jurisdiction the Property is located,
and a permit from the Agency owning the right-of-way in which the sewer main
in located.
1.4.3 No sewer service shall be provided to any property beyond the City's
boundary until written approval of that specific service has been received by the
City's City Engineer from the City of San Diego pursuant to the terms of the
Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960.
1.5 Failure of Annexation Petition and/or Application.
In the event annexation is not approved, unreasonably delayed by the Owner, or
otherwise fails,
(a) the Immediate Effort Deposit, and all interest earned thereon, will be
retained by the City for any purpose whatsoever, and shall be transferred
into the City's general fund to offset any administrative, overhead, or
other costs the City incurs as a result of providing the municipal service
outside the City's boundary and the loss of general fund revenues to the
City caused by the property being outside the City boundaries;
(b) the Parties shall be bound by each and every provision of Section B; and,
(c) if the City determines that the annexation failed or was unreasonably
delayed because the Owners failed to exercise good faith and best efforts
to cause or assist in permitting the annexation to occur, any connection to
the City's sewer system permitted or authorized by this Agreement may
be disconnected at the sole option of City and upon reasonable notice to
the Owners to provide for alternate sewer service.
Page 3
/c2~1
This Section B and the following Section C will apply if either the box at the beginning of
Section A is not initialed, or it has been initialed and the annexation attempt required under
Section A has failed. In such case, the parties will be bound by the provisions of Section Band
Section C.
Section B.
This Section B applies if, for either of two reasons, the Property has not been annexed
to the City's territory: (I) either the annexation effort required by Section A failed despite the
City's initial opinion that it was feasible, or (2) an annexation effort was not initially required,
but due to subsequent development, the City believes that an annexation effort has become
feasible and appropriate. Section B permits immediate connection to our City sewer system, but
obligates the Owner to try to achieve annexation at such time, and from time to time, as the City
deems the annexation will be feasible.
2. Annexation and Disconnect Agreement.
2.1 Delayed Annexation Deposit.
Upon execution, Owner agrees to pay City Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty
dollars, United States currency, ($8,940.00), representing twice the current sewer capacity
charge, plus one-half of fees charged for annexation by: a) LAFCO, b) the State Board of
Equalization and c) the City of Chula Vista, in accordance with Section 2 of Policy 570-02, as
a deposit to secure Owner's performance under this agreement ("Delayed Annexation Deposit")
and will be disposed of in the manner herein in this Section B provided.

boundary until written approval of that specific service has been received by the
City's City Engineer from the City of San Diego pursuant to the terms of the
Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960.
2.3 Annexation Petition and Application.
At such time as the City determines that annexation of the Property is logical and likely
to succeed, City shall so notify Owner, and upon such notification, Owner, including his
successors and assigns, agrees, as a covenant running with the land, to forthwith file a formal
petition for annexation ("Petition") and an annexation application ("Application") with LAFCO
for the annexation of the Property to the City at such time as the City shall direct. Upon such
notification, Owner agrees to diligently and in good faith prosecute both Petition and Application
to completion with the goal of obtaining the annexation of the Property to the City.
2.3.1 LAFCO Filing Fees; Application of Portion of Delayed Annexation
Deposit.
Owner shall be responsible, at his sole cost, for all LAFCO filing fees;
however, City agrees to use and apply that portion of the Deferred Annexation
Deposit charged initially for the LAFCO filing fees for the Petition and
Application towards Owners charges for LAFCO filing fees.
2.4 Application for Prezoning.
Owner understands that as a condition to annexation, Owner must apply to the City to
have the Property pre-zoned (" Application for Prezone"), a discretionary act which will require
a certain amount of environmental review. At such time as the City may require the filing of
an Application and Petition, Owner agrees to file a formal application for prezoning with the
City ("Prezone Application"), complete an application for an initial study, and comply with all
other rules and regulations of the City. Owner agrees to diligently and in good faith prosecute
the Application for Prezone to completion with the goal of prezoning the Property.
2.4.1 City Filing Fees; Application of Portion of Deferred Annexation Deposit.
Owner shall be responsible, at his sole cost, for all City imposed fees;
however, City agrees to use and apply that portion of the Deferred Annexation
Deposit charged initially for such City fees towards Owners payment of such
charges.
Page 5 J c2 - J /
2.5 Disconnection.
Any connection to the City's sewer system permitted or authorized by this Agreement
may be disconnected at the sole option of City in the event that the Property is not annexed to
the City as a result of the annexation procedure herein provided, and the City determines that
the Owners failed to exercise good faith to cause or assist in permitting the annexation to occur.
2.6 City Use of Funds
Except for that portion of the Delayed Annexation Deposit charged initially for the
LAFCO filing fees for the Petition and Application towards Owners charges for LAFCO filing
fees, the Delayed Annexation Deposit will be retained by the City for any purpose whatsoever,
and shall be transferred into the City's general fund to offset any administrative, overhead, or

Meeting Date 11/9/93
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution ) 7.3 tJ J Approving agreement with GCF Laundry of Chula
Vista and Colrich Investments, Ltd for the deferral of payment of a portion of
appropriate sewer capacity fees.
DicIT<" or MHo w""'1 ~
City Manager~ ~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.10
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
On April 20, 1993 the City Council received a letter from the National Properties Group in which it was
requested that they be allowed to pay sewer capacity fees of approximately $60,000 for a proposed
laundromat over a period of ten years. Council referred the issue to staff to work with the developer in an
etIort to allow the project to proceed.
The laundromat is a high consumer of water, and consequently generates a large quantity of sewage.
However, it generates a very low income with respect to the required Sewer Capacity Fee.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve the resolution approving agreement for the deferral
of payment of a portion of appropriate sewer capacity fees
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Code provides, in Section 13.14.090, that the owner or person making application for a
permit to develop or modify the use of property shall pay a Sewer Capacity Charge. That charge is set forth
in the Master Schedule of Fees to be $2,220 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit - a measure which relates the
amount of wastewater flowing from any premises to the amount of wastewater from a typical single family
home. Staff has consistently interpreted this provision of the Code to mean that an applicant was required
to make this payment in full before a permit could be issued.
In the instance of the proposed laundromat, the final flow of wastewater calculated from the revised plans
for the tenant improvements amounts to 24.50 EDU's. The commercial space to be occupied by the
laundromat was originally charged for 2.2 EDU's when the building was constructed, so a remainder of
22.30 EDU's is left to be paid for by the laundromat. This amounts to a total of $49,506. The sum of
$60,000 mentioned in the original letter to Council has been lessened by virtue of a reduction in the number
of machines to be installed.
As noted above, the Sewer Capacity Fee has been tied to the acceptance of an application for building
permit. Until the fee was paid, the application was not considered complete. No building permits requiring
the payment of this fee have yet been issued in the absence of such payment. This has largely been a matter
of practicality based on the difficulty of stopping a use of property once it has been permitted to start.
/3-/
Page 2, Item /3
Meeting Date: 11/9/93
In the present situation we have investigated the normal requirements for a deferral - bond or letter of credit
and a lien on the property. Staff is advised that a bond is not possible because the insurer would require
the placement of a deposit in the same amount as the bond. This would negate any value that placing a bond
would have in the first place. A lien on the property is not practical because the developer, Colrich
Investments, Ltd is a lessee of the property for a term of 75 years and the laundromat (GCF Laundry of
Chula Vista) will be a sublessee.
The proposed agreement negotiated by the City Attorney's office, provides for the payment of $2,812.95
of the total Sewer Capacity Fee of $49,506 at the issuance of a building permit for the tenant improvements
and the remaining amount including 5 % interest per year in quarterly payments starting January 1, 1994 until
the whole amount is paid. The last payment is due on July 1, 1998. The agreement allows the entire
remaining balance of the fee to be paid at any time without penalty.
Payment obligations under the proposed agreement is evidenced by a promissory note signed by GCF
Laundry and which is secured by a pledge by GCF Laundry of its inventory and equipment. This
promissory is guaranteed by Colrich Investments, Ltd (the entity name of National Properties, Inc. involved
in this issue), the landlord of Sonunerset Plaza; this guarantee is secured by a pledge by Colrich of its rental
income under the GCF Laundry lease.
The payment of sewer service charges is not a part of this agreement. Based on a comparison with other
laundromats of similar size it is estimated that sewer service charges could be $600 to $1,100 per month.
Staff's recommendation for approval of the agreement in this specific case is based on the following facts
and circumstances:
(a) The difficult economic climate, especially for small businesses,
(b) The size of the GCF Sewer Capacity Fee relative to the size of its commercial enterprise,
(c) The services that will be provided by the GCF Laundromat to the surrounding moderate and
low income communities,
(d) the adequate assurance of payment of the GCF Sewer Capacity Fee provided by GCF and
its landlord, and
(e) the current sufficiency of the City's Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund (Fund 222) to
provide for trunk sewer or capacity upgrades over the time period during which the GCF
Sewer Capacity Fee is required to be paid.
The City Attorney's office concurs in this recommendation and has determined that it will not contlict with
the requirements of the Municipal Code.
It should be noted that, as indicated above, the approval of this agreement will mark the departure of this
City from its normal requirement that capacity fees be paid in full before a permit allowing the use of
commercial property is issued. It is not intended that this should be considered a change in City policy, but
rather an instance of dealing with a unique set of circumstances .
JJ~~
Page 3, Item J J
Meeting Date: 11/9/93
If the agreement is approved as recommended by staff, we will return to Council with a proposed Council
policy dealing with the delayed payment of Sewer Capacity Fees in order to discourage a plethora of similar
requests.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement provides for the delayed availability of funds for trunk sewer upgrade work. However, it
is not anticipated that this delayed availability will cause the delay of needed construction or capacity
acquisition.

PORTION OF APPROPRIATE SEWER CAPACITY FEES
WHEREAS, on April 20, 1993, the City Council received a
letter from the National Properties Group on behalf of GCF Laundry

REVIEWED BY:
On July 27, 1993, Council opened the Public Heanng regarding revision of the existing Eastern
Chula Vista Transportation Development Impact Fee (TransDIF) and the creation of a new
development impact fee related to the construction of an interim roadway system prior to
construction of SR-125 (interim pre-SR-125 DIF). Testimony taken at that meeting showed
that there was not a consensus as to how the new fees should be distributed. Council directed
staff to work with the developers toward such a consensus, and return with the item. Council
also asked staff to address specific issues raised at the July 27 meeting.
That information was transmitted to the Council on October 26, 1993, but the public hearing
was continued to this date due to lack of agreement by affected developers. The issue
discussion has not changed appreciably since October 26, but staff does have some modified
recommendations.
The following table highlights the major changes from the July 27 recommendation to this
recommendation:

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Hold the public hearing, adopt the ordinances establishing an interim pre-SR-125
transportation facility fee (SR-125 DIF) to be effective January 1, 1995 and amending the
Transportation Development Impact Fee to be effective 60 days after second reading of the
ordinance, and;
2) Approve the resolution accepting the attached report regarding the feasibility of constructing
an interim facility to provide transportation capacity for Chula Vista prior to construction of
SR-125, and;
3) Accept the suggestions made by the developers regarding a cooperative program planning
and financing management effort which is over and above that work currently done by City
staff and authorize staff to proceed with a (Request for proposals) RFP for an alternative
funding consultant to assist in that process.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. Please see the staff
report for the July 27 meeting (attached).
DISCUSSION:
Attached to this staff report is the staff report from the July 27 meeting. That report provides
the background for this hearing and is intended to supplement this agenda statement.
Subsequent to the July 27 meeting, the developers have held meetings among themselves under
the auspices of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) The meetings have not produced
a single acceptable solution to the issue for all parties, however, the meetings have produced
two significant benefits. to clarify the unresolved issues, and to produce the following helpful
suggestions:
I. Create an oversight committee. consIstIng of City and property
owners/developer representatives to meet on a regular basis to evaluate
the adequacy of fees and the need and scheduling of facilities.
) L/;;L
Page 3, Item~
Meeting Date 11/9/93
2. Retain a consultant with expertIse in identifying alternative funding
sources and finding ways to expedite funding. The consultant would be
paid from the TransDIF support funds
3. Reduce the currently proposed facilitv cost estimates by 10% to reflect
funding available through the State-Local Transportation Partnership
Program (SLTPP). This would generally reduce the fees paid by
developers by 10%.
Staff supports the suggestions, with the exception that staff feels that a 5% reduction (as
opposed to the 10% proposed) is more appropriate, since the cost estimates contain design,
inspection and administration costs that are not eligible for SLTPP funds and thus must be
funded from this source. The 5% reduction has been factored into the proposed fees.
After the meeting with the developers and CIF In which the above suggestions were brought
out, staff received the attached October 6, 1993 letter from the CIF setting out a suggested
scope of work for a consultant to be hired by the City using TransDIF and SR-125 funds. The
consultant would be very extensively involved in the administration of the two fee programs.
Staff does not concur with the scope of work suggested by the CIF because we already have
staff that accomplish the same tasks. The suggestions made at the meeting, however, will
require consultants with a knowledge and contacts !,)r Federal and State funding programs who,
hopefully, are able to bring in outside funding and reduce the overall cost of the program. The
original suggestions also provide for mOl e ongoing cooperation in the programs
implementation. Preliminary estimates by staff and the developers for these services range
from $40,000 to $50,000 per year for the initial years while the need for developing financial
sources is greatest and before SR-125 is constructed.
Staffs primary recommendation is to have two separate fees, one for SR-125 and one for the
regular transportation DIF (TransDIF), with somewhat different benefit areas. In both instances,
the fee would be uniform throughout the benefit area. Staff is of the opinion that this
straightforward formula is the most equitable to all property owners. However, staff recognizes
that there are many points of view with respect to equity, and that many of the points raised
have merit.
While seemingly complex, staff believes that the real division among the developers is the
issue of the equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) credits previously received in the TransDIF. The
specific question being whether or not these umts, after paying a fee which included funds for
some portions of SR-125, should participate financially in the construction of the Interim pre-
SR-125 facilities. For many of the developers, large amounts of money are involved in the
decision. Developers holding significant numbers of credits maintain that the credits result
from pioneering major road construction (East H Street, Otay Lakes Road, Telegraph Canyon
Road), and incurring significant unreimbursable costs (financing, administration, district
formation, etc.). They also maintain that they were led to believe that having these credits
would complete their fee obligations for those properties.
J'I-j
Page 4, Item / tj
Meeting Date 11/9/93
Developers without credits note that lack of full participation in the program requires either:
I) a substantially larger fee for the remaining participants, or 2) expansion of the pool of
participants, which shifts the financial burden to properties developing farther in the future and
who may not be able to use the facility.
Understanding this to be the primary issue, staff developed a proposal that attempts to provide
both sides of this issue with equal consideration. Staff is offering this proposal as a potential
solution to this difficult problem and will describe it in more detail following the discussion
of issues raised at the July 27, 1993 hearing. Generally, however, it does not appear that
universal support for anyone proposal is possible
With respect to issues raised by correspondence, Attachment A provides a package of the
letters and staff response to the concerns raised in those letters. The developers have been
satisfactorily answered on most of the issues. The remaining issues in the letters, and issues
raised either at the Public Hearing or subsequent to it consist of the following:
1. Proposal to combine the TransDIF and interim pre-SR-125 fee into one fee.
2. Proposal to have separate fees, but exempt properties that have prepaid the TransDIF
fee.
3. Proposal to split the SR-125 fee into two or more zones recogmzmg that properties
closer to 1-805 will not use these facilities as much.
4. Proposal to give properties that have prepaid the TransDIF fees credit for the SR-125
portion of that fee.
5. Request to address the issue of situations where the fee is lowered (commercial land
uses) to the point where prepaid fees arc greater than the fee due.
6. Can social or economic benefits be considered in developing or applying the fee?
7. Request for the property owners to participate in a joint program planning and financing
management effort of the TransDif and Interim SR-125 DIF.
In many instances, the above issues relate to the developer's questions, "How much does my
project need the interim facility?" "Where is my project in the development process?" and
"How much is the interim SR-125 going to cost my project?" From a historical perspective,
staff is of the opinion that all of the projects acknowledged the need for the interim facility as
a part of the Growth Management Program, and Council approved the projects based on this
acknowledgement. This placed the City in the position of approving projects somewhat beyond
the City's ability to provide such infrastructure, based on assurances that the developers would
participate in a reasonable program to provide the needed facilities (the Public Facility
Financing Plan). The assumption that led to these approvals was that all parties would
participate based on mutual need/mutual benefit. Based on the further input received at this
/i-L(
Page 5, Item~
Meeting Date 11/9/93
last meeting with the developers, staff has modified the original recommendation contained in
the July 27 agenda statement and now recommends a fee that supports numbers 4 and 5, above.
DISCUSSION OF ISSUES
1. Proposal to combine the TransDIF and interim pre-SR-125 fee into one fee.
The effect of this proposal is to combine all of the facilities into one fee. This then would not
provide a separate fnnd for SR-125 facilities under the present accounting methods (however,
a special fund could be created).
Currently, about 7,000 EDU's out of 22,830 EDU's in the SR-125 fee program have credits
against payment of TransDIF fees. Since the credits are in the form of EDU credits, this
would exempt these properties from fee increases (such as adding SR-125 facilities) although
it should also exempt these properties from fee decreases (see issue No 5) These 7,000 EDU's
represent more than 30% of the total EDU pool. Excluding them from these increase forces
the other developers to pay fees 33% greater than they would pay under the original staff
recommendation. Staff notes that this shifts more of the burden onto the shoulders of later
developers and is not recommending it for this reason. The proposal does have merit when
one considers that, if the SR-125 Tollway is built, the fees will be reduced to reflect the cost
the remaining needed facilities. This benefit will not be realized by earlier developers, since
construction of the tollway will not be assured for several years at best.
2. Proposal to have separate fees, but exempt properties that have prepaid the
TransDIF fee.
The current staff proposal for the SR-125 DlF has a different benefit area from the TransDIF,
since the SR-125 DIF is intended as an interim facility to provide relief well before the build
out of the TransDIF area. Included in the package are maps showing the two different
boundaries. Thus, the issue becomes two separate issues, depending on whether the new SR-
125 DIF uses the previously defined area of benefit, or uses the larger TransDIF area of
benefit.
a. Maintain SR-125 DIF area of benefit
As discussed in the previous item, there are approximately 7,000 EDU's of credits in
the TransDIF program. Using the smaller area of benefit of the SR-125 DIF, credits
would reduce the participating properties from 22,830 to 15,779, increasing the fee from
$1,358 per EDU to $1,964. Some of the developers believe that, since previous
TransDIF's included projects for some SR-125 facilities, they have paid for those
projects and should get credit. Staff is of the opinion that exclusion of so many units
places an unfair burden on the remainder and that developers participated in an overall
system and not individual projects. Developers constructing DIF streets got credit based
upon only that project and did not make additional deposits for other projects. Using
that logic, the City should have created specific project funds and required the
) t/-S
Page 6, Item ! i
Meeting Date 11/9/93
developers to pay individually for each. The revised staff recommendation does not
give this credit
b. Use the larger TransDIF area of benefit
The area of benefit contains 32,753 EDU's and would pay $9481EDU Subtracting
EDU credits, the remaining 25,722 EDU's would have to pay $1,520IEDU The larger
area of benefit, however, presents legal issues, since the engineering study (HNTB
report) shows that the facilities cannot serve all of the properties in the benefit area.
The fundamental problem that arises is the proposal to develop a financing program
relying upon collection of fees from properties, which will not necessarily be able to
develop when the facilities are constructed. The merits of this proposal are the same
as those cited on issue # 1.
3. Proposal to split SR-125 DIF into two or more zones recognizing that properties
closer to I-80S will not use these facilities as much.
This issue acknowledges the fact that differently situated properties will use the interim
facilities to a differing extent Traffic from San Miguel Ranch, for example, is not likely to use
East Orange Ave. to the same extent as Otay Ranch. Staff recognizes this fact, but notes that
this point does not consider that the building of interim facilities is designed to remove traffic
from existing arterials, providing additional capacity on the entire system. Properties that do
not directly benefit from the interim facilities benefit from the increased capacity on the
existing arterials. Thus, staff believes that the entire area of benefit suffers from the lack of
these facilities and benefits equally from their presence. As an example, less traffic would
travel west on "H" Street or Telegraph Canyon Road from Eastlake and Salt Creek, thus
freeing up capacity for Rancho del Rey and Sunbow. In subsequent discussions, the developers
have generally agreed that this concept is not as important as other issues raised. Staff,
therefore, has eliminated this concept from the subsequent analysis.
4. Proposal to give properties that have prepaid the TransDIF fees credit for the SR-
125 portion of that fee.
This issue involves recognition that the previous TransDIF program had facilities in it which
were identified as SR-125 facilities. Properties that have prepaid the TransDIF through EDU
credits from assessment districts would be paying for these same facilities twice if they were
charged the new fee.
Staffs view of the TransDIF is that the participants were buying into a program, not a group
of individual facilities. Past participants paid fees and facilities (such as East H Street) were
constructed with those funds, rather than earmarking a portion of each fee to a specific facility.
If portions had been earmarked as described, a developer constructing a facility could not be
repaid completely until all fees had been collected at the end of the program (approximately
2015). Never the less, it is true that, as the developers indicate, the TransDIF already paid was
based on certain SR-125 facilities being Included. Therefore, staff believes that it is an
J'I~?
Page 7, Item I if
Meeting Date 11/9/93
appropriate compromise to give credit for that part of the fees paid. Under this new
recommendation, any developer with outstandin)l EDU credits will still pay the SR-125 DIF,
but the amount will be reduced by the portion of the EDU credit that would be attributable to
the SR-125 facilities that were included to come up with the previous fee.
5. Request to address the issue of situations where the fee is lowered (commercial
land uses) to the point where prepaid fees are greater than the fee due.
As indicated in the July 27 Agenda statement, staff is proposing to lower the trip generation
factor for commercial property from 400 trips per acre to 250 trips per acre. This issue arises
as a result of that change when assessments placed on the property as EDU credits exceed the
proposed fee. This creates a situation where some properties that "prepaid" their fee would be
paying more than their current fee obligat1<Jn
This situation is the exact opposite of issues 1 and 2 in the sense that the developer has either
prepaid fees, and completed the obligation, or has not. To look at situations when the fee is
lowered under one standard and where fees are raised under another standard is, on the surface,
contradictory. However, as pointed out on page 12 under the heading of Commercial Land
Uses in the July 27 agenda statement, the previous trip generation rate placed an inordinately
heavy burden on commercial properties. There!()re, staff is now recommending modifying the
TransDIF to include a fund of approximately $8lJO,000 to resolve such situations, bring equity
to all undeveloped commercial property and to encourage such needed economic development.
However, staff is not recommending that refunds be given until the SR-125 DIF takes effect
and that those refunds be used to balance out the new SR-125 DIF costs.
6. Can social or economic benefits be considered in developing or applying the fee?
This issue proposed to take social or economic benefits into consideration with respect to fee
burden. With respect to establishment of the general fee structure, this proposal presents
difficulties, since the other parties participating in the fee program are assessed based on a
uniform factor (i.e. trip generation). As a policy, to depart from the uniform nexus in certain
cases is risky in that if too many situations are adjusted because of "social or economic
benefits", the entire fee could be more successfully challenged by a party not receiving such
benefit. Staff, therefore, recommends that Council consider reducing fees based on social or
economic contributions on a case-by-case basis
The following tables compare the financial im pacts identifying the fee or fees necessary to
implement, the total fees and the parties that benefit most from the proposal (compared with
staff recommendation as a baseline). As previously discussed in this report, issue NO.3 is not
analyzed and issue number 6, social or economic benefit consideration was not included in this
chart because the specific proposal is not sufficiently defined to estimate fees associated with
the issue.
7. Request for the property owners to participate in a joint program planning and
financing management effort of the TransDif and Interim SR-125 DIF.

Page 8, Item / '-I
Meeting Date 11/9/93
When the SR-125 DIF item was first presented to Council on July 27, 1993, a companion
proposal from the developers and Construction Industry Federation was included regarding the
adoption of a proposal for a cooperative management effort for program planning and financing
of the DIF programs. This management effort would be in addition to the administrative
efforts already performed by City staff on those programs, and are intended to enhance the
City's development monitoring efforts. Because of the long lead times necessary for the
planning and financing of major infrastructure. such as the interim SR-125 facility and the
major streets within the TransDIF, it wJiI become increasingly important to evaluate the
phasing of new development and the timing of major capital improvement projects to make
sure that facilities will be available when nceded. The additional measures will ensure that the
City and developers are aware at the earliest possible time of any potential facility needs that
will be required in order to maintain adopted threshold standards so that either the City, using
DIF funds, or the developers can program it' s construction. This proposed cooperative
management program would also make a strong effort to obtain additional outside funding for
the needed improvements to reduce the cost of the DIF programs to the benefit of the new
home purchaser.
City staff met with the developers to go 0\ CI the suggested scope of work for a consultant to
be involved in this effort to obtain outside funding. The result is shown as attachment B to
this agenda statement. Both City staff and the developers believe this management program
and proposal for a consultant to assist would be very beneficial. However, in the discussion
it became apparent that the outside consultant would require additional funding over and above
that contained in the previously recommended DIF. Therefore, it was agreed that, in order to
provide the necessary financing, the TransDlF support should be increased from the currently
proposed 4% to 5%.
Development Impact Fee Recommendations
In an effort to reconcile the different points of view with respect to the EDU credits, staff has
put forward a proposal to include East Orange /\\enue and Eastlake Parkway in the TransDIF,
instead of inclusion in the proposed interim SR-125 DlF Additionally, approximately
$800,000 is proposed to be included to resolve the commercial land use (Issue 5) problem.
The fees resulting from the transfer as compared with staffs July 27, 1993 recommended fee
are as follows:
o[ 19lna]
July 27, ICJ93 Staff
Recommendation Proposal
TransDIF $3,401 $3,815
SR-125 DIF $1,41U $ 820
Total $4,832 $4,635
;t/ -Y
Page 9, Item /1
Meeting Date 11/9/93
It should be noted that the reduction in total fee IS the result of the following mechanisms:
I) The 5% reduction in total project costs resulting from "other source funds".
2) The moving of $13,342,000 in costs for Orange Avenue and Eastlake Parkway from the
SR-125 DIF to the TransDIF puts them in an area of benefit 12% larger, thus reducing
the fee per EDU. The original S12,646,OOO SR-125 DIF is reduced by 41%. The
TransDIF increases from $87,500.111)0 111 total costs to $100,842,000.
3) The Interim SR-125 DIF includes "financing costs" that are not a component of the
TransDIF The "financing costs" must be built into the fee because insufficient funds
will have been collected to pay for the construction without selling bonds.
4) The TransDIF support fee is increased from 4% to 5% to provide funding for a
consultant to assist in obtaining outside funding sources
5) The Interim SR-125 DIF is recommended to go into elfect on January I, 1995 to help
encourage new construction in the current slow economy The recommended fee is
somewhat higher than if it were effective immediately based upon a low inflation and
the lower number of EDU's available because of units which would be built in 1994.
Approximately 1700 EDU's were anticipated to be constructed in 1994, which reduces
the pool of units available to pay t()r the interim SR-125 facility should it be necessary
to build it. The 1700 EDU's include residential, commercial and industrial
developments.
6) The amended TransDIF fee would go into effect 60 days after the second reading. This
would allow for the additional projects and commercial adjustments from 40 EDU's per
acre to 25 EDU's per acre to go Inlo effect. However, it is also recommended, and
included in the ordinance, that no commercial refunds be made until the Interim SR-125
DIF takes effect. At that time refunds could be made in conj unction with additional
payments required by the Interim SR-125 DIF.
7) Add approximately $800,000 to the TransDIF to bring individual assessments on
commercial properties in line with fee ob ligations where assessments exceed the new
obligation.
To the developers, the advantage of this proposal can be substantial. For properties with EDU
credits, the SR-125 fee would be reduced bv nearly 50% (TransDIF fees would not be affected
because of the EDU credits). For projects without EDll credits, the total fees would be
reduced as shown on the above table. Additionally, this proposal separates the clearly interim
facilities (in the sense that they would not be needed if the freeway/tollroad is constructed)
from the roads in the "permanent" (Gene! al Plan) network.
The disadvantages of this proposal are that no consideration is given to financing the TransDIF
facilities and that the monies for Orange Avenue and Eastlake Parkway are commingled with
1'1-;

1'-/
other TransDIF funds. Some developers had previously expressed a desire that a separate fund
be created for SR-125 funds to assure th,ll the funds were not utilized for other facilities and
,
therefore, not available when needed. Stalf does not believe that the disadvantages constitute
major obstacles, and therefore believe that this proposal is a good solution.

Proposed Development Monitoring Policies
When the SR-125 DIF item was first presented to Council on July 27, 1'193, a companion (part
b) proposal was included regarding the adoption of a Council Policy on development
monitoring policies and procedures to implement the City s Growth Management Program
(GMP). These policies and procedures would be in addition to those already in place as part
of the GMP, and are intended to enhance the City's development mOllltoring efforts.
Because of the long lead times necessary 1(lr the planning and tinanc11lg of major infrastructure,
such as the interim SR-125 facility, it will become increaSingly important to evaluate the
phasing of new development and the tim)l1g of major capital improvement projects to make
sure that facilities will be available when added. The additional measures will ensure that the
City, other service providers (e.g., school and water districts), and developers become aware
at the earliest possible time of any potelltial facility needs that will be required in order to
maintain adopted threshold standards.
/t/,/cJ
Page 11, Item~
Meeting Date 11/9/93
In recent review with the City Attorney's Office, it has been suggested that adoption of the
proposed policies might be best handkd through an amendment to the actual Growth
Management Program document ThIS would place all monitoring policies in a single
document for the sake of reference and clarity, and may present other advantages for policy
implementation. Planning Department staff will be meeting with the Public Works Department,
and City Manager's and City Attorney Offices in the com I ng weeks to refine this approach.
As the GMP amendment will require noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission
and City Council, it is anticipated that this time will be returned for Council action in January
1994.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impact to the City would involve revenues to administer and
support the program or programs, which would be essentially constant from proposal to
proposal. The administrative cost of thc TransDIF has been an average of $268,000 per year
ranging from a high of $488,000 in the first year (1990/91) to a la\', of $142,000 in 1991/92.

SUGGESTED SCOPE OF WORK FOR A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE EASTERN CHULA VISTA
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE AND THE STATE ROUTE
125 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAMS
Introduction
The following describes the Scope of Work for a multi-year management effort regarding the
program planning and financing of the Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Development Impact
Fee (Trans-DIP) and the pre-state Route 125 Development Impact Fee (pre-SR 125 DIF)
Programs. The City of Chula Vista will oversee this effort and the selected consultant will be
expected to work in partnership with City staff and property owners in the conduct of this
work.
Background
The City has recently proposed a comprehensive update of the Trans-DIP which was originally
established in January of 1988. The last update occurred in December, 1990. The Trans-DIF
was originally based on a financial and engineering study of the major streets required to serve
anticipated development in the City's eastern area with the premise that all new development
would share equitably in the cost of these major streets. The City intends to continue using
this methodology with some slight modifications. Other adjustments in the Trans-DIP program
are also proposed, including an increase in the program support component.
Since continued development in the eastern area is expected to result in a significant increase
in traffic on the planned road system, the City has concluded that a major north-south facility
will be also necessary to service continued development. While construction of a toll road in
the State Route 125 corridor would help meet this need, the viability and timing of such a
project is uncertain. If a toll facility is not built, this portion of SR 125 is not currently
proposed for construction by Caltrans.
In January, 1992, the City commissioned a study to analyze future transportation needs and
develop contingency plans in the event that SR 125 is not constructed in a reasonable time
frame. A report has been completed which contains a recommended roadway system and
suggests a financing plan to pay for the improvements. The City is considering the adoption
of a pre-SR 125 DIP to serve as the primary mechanism for funding construction of the
identified interim facilities.
Over the past year, there have been a number of meetings involving area developers in an
attempt to achieve consensus on the proposed fees. In general, the developers support the use
of development impact fees as a primary method to finance construction of the necessary
improvements. However, the development community has proposed the pursuit of a reasonable
level of non-local matching funds in support of the overall Trans-DIF and pre-SR 125 DIP
)'1- J I
improvements In addition, the property owners have suggested the establishment of a joint
City/property owner effort to establish the program planning and financing strategies required
for the successful implementation of the DIF programs.
The City agrees with the need for an effective approach to the administration of the Trans-DIF
and pre-SR 125 DIF programs. The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to solicit input
from qualified firms interested in providing program planning and financing expertise.
Overall Approach
It is intended that the fee program planning and financing effort will be conducted in
partnership with City staff. The City will oversee the activities of the consultant, and it will
be necessary for the consultant to work closely with City staff and property owners on the
effort. Developing an effective approach to implementing the necessary transportation
improvements and seeking alternative funding sources are major objectives of this effort. The
consultant should plan to take advantage of existing studies and data where feasible, and not
duplicate work which has already been accomplished.
The Scope of Work for this effort includes four related tasks:
Task I. Plan and Program Review
Task 2. Plan Development and Implementation
Task 3. Local Agency Coordination
Task 4. SR 125 Toll Road Coordination
Task Descriptions
1. Plan and Program Review
This phase involves a review of all related transportation planning data for the
City's eastern area, including the City's interim SR 125 transportation plan for
the area, the improvements proposed as part of the Trans-DIF Program, the
current Caltrans/California Transportation Ventures plans for the toll road in this
corridor and the eastern area transportation facility financing plans developed as
a condition of development project approvals.
2. Plan Development and Implementation
This task requires the development of appropriate funding and construction
phasing plans, as well as an overall strategy for implementing the required
transportation improvements. As part of this task, the consultant should identify
funding options, outline an appropriate strategy for obtaining those funds, and
advocate for allocation of the funds as directed by the City. To effectively
l'-l~ 3:L-
accomplish this element, it will be necessary to review and determine cash flow
requirements based on the timing of facility construction and the availability of
funding. This effort will also require ensuring that the assessment process, the
development of alternative funding sources, and plan implementation activities
are all accomplished on time and on budget.
3. Local Agency Coordination
Because of the proximity of other jurisdictions to the transportation projects in
the City's eastern area, this task requires that the consultant assist the City in
coordinating with those agencies. The consultant will be expected to assist in
assuring the completion of the projects within other jurisdictions and will assist
the City in developing interjurisdictional financing plans.
4. SR 125 Toll Road Coordination
Because of the importance of the SR 125 toll facility to the transportation
capacity of the City's eastern area this task requires that the consultant assist the
City in coordinating with Caltrans and California Transportation Ventures
representatives. The consultant will be expected to offer advice on project
delivery and to assist the City in providing local input to the project
development process. It is intended that this involvement with the toll facility
project will provide a more solid technical background for consideration of other
project alternatives if the toll road is not constructed.

ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM PRE-SRI25 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
FEE TO PAY FOR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES IN THE CITY'S
EASTERN TERRITORIES
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements require that adequate,
safe transportation facilities be available to accommodate the increased traffic created by new
development, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that potential delays in the construction of State
Route (SR) 125 by CALTRANS or others will adversely impact the City's ability to accommodate said
increased traffic, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that new development within the Eastern
Territories will create adverse impacts on the City's transportation system which must be mitigated by
the financing and construction of certain transportation facilities identified in this Ordinance, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a reasonable means of financing the
transportation facilities is to levy a fee on all development in the Eastern Territories of the City, and
WHEREAS, the fee has been justified by the financial and engineering study entitled "Interim
State Route 125 Facility Feasibility Study" dated May 1993, and prepared by Howard Needles Tammen
& Bergendoff.
WHEREAS, the financial and engineering study and the City's General Plan show that the
transportation network will be adversely impacted by new development within the Eastern Territories
unless new transportation facilities are added to accommodate the new development, and
WHEREAS, the financial and engineering study and the City's General Plan establish that the
transportation facilities necessitated by development in the Eastern Territories comprises an integrated
network, and
WHEREAS, developers of land within the Eastern Territories should be required to mitigate the
burden created by development through the construction of transportation facilities within the boundaries
of the development, the construction of those transportation facilities outside the boundaries of the
development which are needed to provide service to the development in accordance with City standards,
and the payment of a fee to finance the development's portion of the total cost of the transportation
network, and

Ill-A -(
WHEREAS, all development within the Eastern Territories contribute to the cumulative burden
on the transportation network in direct relationship to the amount of traffic originated by or destined
for the development, and
WHEREAS, the amount of traffic generated has been determined based upon average daily trips
for various land areas based upon studies conducted by SANDAG (commercial trips being modified to
eliminate passerby trips) and verified by the financial and engineering study prepared for the purposes
of this fee, and
WHEREAS, the SANDAG traffic generation determinations have been used by numerous public
agencies in San Diego County for various purposes, including the preparation of General Plan
Circulation Elements, the justification of traffic impact fees, and transportation planning, and have been
determined to be a reliable and accepted means of allocating the burden on a transportation network to
development to be serviced by the network, and
WHEREAS, on July 27, 1993, the City Council held a duly noticed meeting at which oral or
written presentations could be made, and
WHEREAS, the City Council determined based upon the evidence presented at the meeting, the
City's General Plan and the various reports and other information received by the City Council in the
course of its business that imposition of the Interim pre-SR-125 impact fee on all development in the
Eastern Territories for which building permits have not yet been issued is necessary in order to protect
the public safety and welfare and in order to ensure effective implementation of the City's General Plan,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the amount ofthe fee levied by this Ordinance
does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the transportation facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA,
CALIFORNIA AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2251,
RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE TO PAY FOR
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES IN THE CITY'S EASTERN
TERRITORIES
WHEREAS, in January 1988, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopted
Ordinance No. 2251 establishing a development impact fee for transportation facilities in the
City's eastern territories, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2251, the City has commenced the collection of
development impact fees to be used to construct transportation facilities to accommodate
increased traffic generated by new development within the City's Eastern Territories, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section l(c) of Ordinance No. 2251 and California Government
Code Sections 66000, et. seq., the City Council has caused a study to be conducted to reanalyze
and reevaluate the impacts of development on the transportation system for the City's eastern
territories and, to further reanalyze and reevaluate the development impact fee necessary to pay
for the transportation facilities which financial and engineering study prepared by City staff, is
entitled "Eastern Area Development Impact Fees for Streets 1993 Revision" dated July 13, 1993,
and
WHEREAS, the financial and engineering study and the City's General Plan show that
the transportation network will be adversely impacted by new development within the eastern
territories unless new transportation facilities are added to accommodate the new development,
and
WHEREAS, the financial and engineering studies and the City's General Plan establish
that the transportation facilities necessitated by development in the eastern territories comprise
an integrated network, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that developers of land within the Eastern
Territory should be required to mitigate the burden created by development through the
construction of transportation facilities within the boundaries of the development, the
construction of those transportation facilities outside the boundaries of the development which
are needed to provide service to the development in accordance with City standards and the
payment of a development impact fee to finance the development's portion of the costs of the
transportation network, and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby determines that the legislative findings and
determinations set forth in Ordinance No. 2251 continue to be true and correct, and

WHEREAS, on July 27, 1993, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista held a duly
noticed meeting at which oral or written presentations regarding the development impact fee for
the City's eastern territories could be made, and
WHEREAS, after consideration of the evidence presented to it including the "Eastern
Areas Development Impact Fees for Streets" study the City Council determined that certain
amendments to Ordinance No. 2251 are necessary in order to assure that there are sufficient
funds available to finance the transportation facilities necessary to serve the eastern territories
by the development impact fee, and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines, 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
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the amount of the amended fees levied
by this Ordinance does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the transportation facilities,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that it is appropriate to resolve the fees for
commercial land uses to reflect the fact that many of the trips associated with the commercial
land uses are in fact, trips associated with other land uses that incorporate an intermediate stop
at a commercial land use (passerby trips), and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to ensure the timely payment of the "DIP program support"
cost item, included in Table 2 "Capital Improvement projects - cost estimate summary" of the
financial and engineering study to adequately fund ongoing and future administration activities
and studies, and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that reduction of trips from commercial land
uses may place an inordinate burden on commercial land uses where public facility assessments
have been placed on the affected properties in anticipation of payment of transportation fees, and
as a result of said adjustment, the proposed fees are now lower than the value of the
assessments.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1:
That the development impact fee schedule set forth in Section l(c) of Ordinance No.
2251 is amended to read as follows:

REVIEWED BY:
During the refuse and recycling rate review hearings for the past
two years (FY 1991-92 and FY 1992-93), Council has requested that
relevant financial and statistical information be provided
regarding Laidlaw Waste System's operations. Staff encountered a
significant hurdle to obtaining information which the company
deemed proprietary and for which the City was unable to guarantee
confidentiality.
In order to approach the rate review process with confidence and to
obtain relevant financial and statistical information, staff
proposes to use an independent firm to assist in selecting relevant
financial indicators and establish guidelines as to how these
indicators will be used in the rate setting process. Laidlaw has
agreed to pay the cost of hiring an outside firm.
Attached to this report is a recommended draft Request for
Proposals (RFP).
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution and direct staff to issue
a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluate the responses and return to
council with a recommendation for contract award.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In the South Bay region of San Diego County, Laidlaw provides
refuse and recycling collection and disposal services to the cities
of Chula vista and Imperial Beach and the unincorporated areas of
the County. Services to the cities are provided in accordance with
exclusive franchise agreements which each allow the cities to
approve rates for service. Services to the unincorporated County
areas are provided in accordance with the County's permit system
which does not retain rate approval authority.
J7~1
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 11/09/93
I?
Because of the physical proximity and operational economies,
Laidlaw's routes are not necessarily laid out by jurisdiction.
Therefore, the systemwide costs of operations have historically
been allocated to the respective jurisdictions when rate increases
have been requested. This approach is reasonable in the industry
and may serve to allow lower costs to the ratepayer, but it
provides difficulties for staff analysis and verification of rate
increase requests.
staff recommends that the City obtain the services of an
independent firm through an RFP process to assist in developing
statistical indicators relevant to the solid waste collection and
disposal industry. The ideal firm will have expertise in refuse
rate analysis and experience in solid waste rate and regulatory
services. The cost of the services will be paid by Laidlaw. Chula
vista will administer the contract, working with Laidlaw to ensure
complete and efficiently-obtained information.
The primary reasons for recommending action at this time are:
1) Council Direction- As previously noted, Council has
specifically directed staff to obtain additional financial
information regarding Laidlaw's results of operations. An
independent third party has the ability to sign a confidentiality
agreement with Laidlaw, review necessary documentation and
translate the data into appropriate terms which are of interest to
the Council without breaching confidentiality.
2) pendina Reauest For Rate Adiustment- In March 1993 Laidlaw
applied for a rate adjustment for refuse collection and curbside
recycling based on a 2.1% increase in the consumer price index.
The request was denied by the City Manager because of lack of any
financial data from Laidlaw supporting the proposed increase.
Beginning September 1, 1993, Laidlaw began maintaining separate
financial information for the City of Chula vista franchise. In
the past, financial information has been available only on a
division basis in which Chula vista was a portion of a larger
service area. This change should make it easier to develop
relevant financial indicators regarding Laidlaw's operations in
Chula vista.
simolified Annual Rate Reviews- During the past two years, the
City has experienced annual rate reviews which have been lengthy,
confusing and expensive for both the City and Laidlaw. By
establishing relevant financial indicators that can be used in the
annual rate setting review, the process will be simplified and much
more efficient.

The Proposed RFP
The draft RFP included as Attachment A clarifies the main
objectives of this project are the development of financial
information and statistical indicators that can be used in
comparison to "industry standards" and incorporation of this
information into the rate setting process. The RFP also defines
the scope of work expected and a detailed list of tasks and minimum
requirements.
Also outlined are standard City requirements for "hold harmless"
provisions, adequate coverage and evidence of insurance, conflict
of interest, etc. Selection criteria are included and will not be
based solely on cost. Potential firms will be evaluated in a
number of areas, including (but not limited to): specialized
experience in refuse rate analysis, particularly with similar
public agencies; ability to work effectively and cooperatively with
staff and Laidlaw; and past records of performance.
It is not staff's intent that the services provided by an
independent firm will result in a renegotiation of the existing
franchise, but will provide relevant information that can be used
by the City Council in the rate setting process. The current
franchise agreement, which terminates in the year 2002, provides
for annual increases based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI). However, increases in landfill rates are treated as pass-
through costs. Any rate-setting methodoloqy change that may be
recommended as a result of this project would be subject to further
discussion between the City and Laidlaw.
Timeline
The RFP would be issued immediately after Council approval and is
expected to allow 30 days for responses. The length of the
evaluation and negotiation process will be driven by the number,
quality and complexity of proposals received. It is expected that
the project will be completed within 60 days of the contract award.
FISCAL IMPACT: Since the cost of the services will be paid by
Laidlaw, there is no fiscal impact as a result of council's action
on this item. The project is estimated to cost in the range of
$10,000 to $20,000.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP RELEVANT FINANCIAL INDICATORS
TO BE USED IN THE RATE SETTING PROCESS FOR THE COLLECTION AND
DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE BY LAIDLAW WASTE SYSTEMS,INC.
The City of Chula Vista ("CITY") invites proposals to develop financial indicators to be used
in the rate setting process with Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. ("CONTRACTOR") to the CITY.
In general, the firm selected through this process ("CONSULTANT") will be:
1. Developing financial indicators of results of operations of Laidlaw Waste Systems and
comparing this information with industry standards.
2. Reviewing and recommending modifications, if appropriate, to the current rate setting
process incorporating the use of financial indicators.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
In the South Bay region of San Diego County, the CONTRACTOR provides refuse and
recycling collection and disposal services to the CITY and unincorporated areas of the County.
Services to the CITY are provided in accordance with the CITY's Franchise Agreement which
allows the CITY to approve the CONTRACTOR'S rates. Services to the unincorporated County
areas are provided in accordance with the County's permit system which does not retain rate
approval authority. Because of the physical proximity and operational economies, the
CONTRACTOR'S routes are not necessarily laid out by jurisdiction. Therefore, the systemwide
costs of operations have historically been allocated to the respective jurisdictions when rate
increases are requested of the CITY. It is the CITY's rate setting process that is the subject of
this Request for Proposals.
The CITY has a Franchise Agreement to the year 2002 with the CONTRACTOR to provide
these services. Prudent management of the contracts, the current fiscal situation of the CITY,
and the local economy's impact on the CITY's ratepayers are all reasons the CITY now desires
to conduct this review. It is expected that the review process will be concluded within 90 days
of approval of the contract.

CITY-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
With a January 1993 population of 146,000, the CITY of Chula Vista has about 34 square miles
within its incorporated boundaries. Located seven miles south of the City of San Diego, Chula
Vista covers a wide spectrum of neighborhoods and businesses requiring a high level of service
from the franchised waste hauler, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. The Franchise Agreement for
refuse collection and single-family residential curbside recycling services are overseen by the
City Manager's Office and the Finance Department.
The franchise agreement for refuse collection and disposal services has essentially been in effect
since the 1950's when the services were provided by Chula Vista Sanitary Service. In 1982,
the business was sold to GSX Corp. which was then purchased by Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc.
in 1985. The exclusive franchise rights were approved by the Chula Vista City Council
consecutively with each new owner. The present agreement allowed a contract term to 1992,
with a provision for two five year extensions at the CONTRACTOR's request, for an expected
lifespan to the year 2002.
Currently, the Laidlaw serves about 24,000 residential units, multi-family units, and
commercial customers. Curbside recycling services are provided for the single-
family residential homes. The CITY is in the process of determining whether or not Laidlaw
will be providing future recycling program services for yard waste, multi-family homes, and
businesses. That decision will be made in early 1993.
OBJECTIVE OF THE RFP
The CITY wants to develop standard financial indicators that can be used in the rate setting
process which will be consistent from year to year, and will ensure rate payers a high level of
service at reasonable rates while allowing the CONTRACTOR a reasonable profit and
reimbursement for necessary reasonable and prudent costs associated with the furnishing of that
service. Consideration shall be given to all solid waste and recycling operations: collection,
transportation, disposal and marketing of solid waste and recyclables from the CITY.

ITEM TITLE: Industrial Water Policy
SUBMITTED BY: Mayor Tim Nader
BACKGROUND: At the August 13, 1993 Interagency Water Task Force meeting, I introduced
the concept of a "Water Availability Plan for Economic Development" and distributed the
attached letter (see Attachment A). At the September 10 meeting I discussed the proposal to
assure qualifying businesses an uninterrupted supply of water in more detail. At that time, the
IA WTF raised some questions which were addressed on a preliminary basis by staff in a memo
to the IA WTF, dated October 7, 1993 (see Attachment B) and distributed to the Task Force at
the October 8 meeting. At the October 8 meeting, the IWTF raised additional questions as
outlined in staff's memo dated October 9 (see Attachment C).
In order to proceed to develop a policy to provide priority treatment to major local businesses
and to targeted groups such as Biotech/biomedical and environmental industries, I am
recommending that Council endorse the concept of pursuing such a policy, and that Council
direct staff to undertake this project as a work item.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council direct staff to pursue development of a policy to provide
priority water allocation to qualifying industries during times of drought, in order to insure the
least possible interruption of water supplies to those industries which would be most impacted
and/or are targeted recruitment prospects.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable
DISCUSSION:
The proposal to develop an industrial water policy stems from a concern regarding the
unreliability of water for business operations and the resulting disruptions of existing operations
and disincentives for new business to locate here. Additionally, the biotech and biomed
industries have identified the need for guaranteed water supplies as a top priority in their site
selection process. (Note: The City's High Tech/Biotech Zone Task Force is looking at this issue
as part of a targeted incentive package).
Water Availability Plan for Economic Development
The proposal I made via my letter of August 12 would provide a guaranteed water supply for
operational purposes to qualifying businesses. Generally, qualifying businesses would include
those with a minimum of 50 jobs and those eligible for the Border Environmental Commerce
Zone and/or High Tech/Biotech Zone incentives. The proposal suggests we work with the water
provider to assure no net impact on water availability by reducing General Plan density, with
certain "exemptions" for qualifying developers.
There was inconclusive discussion with the IWTF regarding the feasibility of this proposal.
,2.tJ/'-1
Meeting Date 11/09/93
Item cZ?7 />
Because there is additional staff work needed to research the feasibility of this or a similar
policy, I am suggesting that staff work with the water district to bring back a recommendation
to Council.
IA WTF Ouestions
Staff's October 7 memo responds to the questions raised by the IWTF at their September 10
meeting, including: 1) what are the industrial acreage amounts in each water district?; 2) what
are typical amounts of industrial water usage?; 3) what are the growth trends for the
biotech/biomed industry?; 4) how are other areas, including the City of San Diego, guaranteeing
water? As noted, Otay MWD contains approximately 780 vacant industrial acres; Sweetwater
Authority contains approximately 145 vacant acres. The City's recent market study projects
approximately 5 to 7 acres of annual industrial absorption through 1995 and 10 to 14 acres from
1995 to 2000. In terms of biotech/biomed specifically, there are no acreage projections
available; however, the memo notes that most biotech firms are in the latter phases ofR&D and
soon to be needing a manufacturing facility, which is one of our "targeted" industries.
In terms of water use, it ranges across a broad spectrum, as illustrated by Goldcoast Engineering
wit 110 employees and 2,900 gal/day, and Tanabe Pharmaceutical (R&D) with 40 employees and
1 million gal/day.
Staff's memo of October 9 outlines the IWTF questions raised at their October 8 meeting,
including: 1) is the IWTF being asked to shift water from agriculture to biotech?; 2) is the IWTF
being asked to take action independent of other water authorities?; 3) what incentives would the
City offer?; 4) what specific water amounts and number and types of firms would be involved?;
5) should priority rights be given to firms using disproportionately high volumes of water?
Again, these are policy issues which will require significant staff work in order to prepare a
recommendation to Council.
FISCAL IMP ACT: Staff time will be required to research, analyze and prepare a recommended
industrial water policy. The fiscal impact of the proposed policy would need to be determined
as part of the overall analysis to be undertaken by staff.

MEMO TO:
Chair and Members of the Interagency ~at~ Task :z.e
Mayor Tim Nader, City of Chula Vi~ ~ ~
FROM:
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED WATER PRIORITY TO EMPLOYERS
As I am sure everybody knows, one of the key barriers we have encountered to attracting new employers
to this region, especially those in the high tech/bio tech fields, involves questions as to the availability of
water. Businesses have indicated to us that they are hes~ant to open manufacturing operations in an
area subject to cyclical drought. If they may be called upon to make cutbacks, we are at a serious
competitive disadvantage w~h areas that can assure water supply.
I have met with several water officials individually to discuss an outline of a plan to address this issue
cooperatively between the City of Chula Vista and the water districts serving us. (Unfortunately, my ability
to meet with officials in the Otay Water District has been hampered by Mr. Harron's opinion that the Brown
Act must be construed in a way to take priority over the First Amendment, thus discouraging his board
members from meeting with me).
The basic concept of this proposal is to assure that manufacturers and other employers providing high-
qual~y jobs to local residents could be assured, when planning their s~ing decisions, that water cutbacks
In periods of drought would not put them at a compet~ive disadvantage for having located here. I believe
such a policy is needed in order to strengthen our economic future. The policy would involve the City
working in conjunction w~h the water districts to assure that any add~ional burdens which might be
placed on local water supplies by implementation of this policy would be offset by e~her the availability
of new supplies or by reductions in future development dens~ies as an offset.
I believe that ~ is probably well known that Mayor Golding has undertaken to work on a water guarantee
plan for businesses in the C~y of San Diego; It would be particularly unfortunate If we were to be left
behind in this regard.
An outline of a suggested policy is attached for discussion. I may not be able to join you for your
August 13 meeting, but would ask for discussion and input from other members of the Interagency Task
Force. My hope is that we could develop a plan to bring forward to our respective agencies for a decision
In the near future, and that interagency Issues which might arise relative to a water guarantee plan for
employers could be worked out before hand through the Interagency Task Force.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

WATER AVAILABILITY PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
I. ELIGIBLE BUSINESSES
A. Businesses meeting the criteria of the Border Environmental
Commerce Zone.
B. Businesses meeting the criteria of High Tech/Biotech Zone
C. Businesses providing a minimum of fifty full time jobs (or
equivalent) at least 80% of the median income of the city, to
local residents of at least five years.
II. BUSINESSES MEETING ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE THREE CRITERIA
WOULD BE GUARANTEED THAT IN TIME OF WATER SHORTAGE
THEY WOULD NOT BE ASKED TO REDUCE THEIR USE EXCEPT FOR:
A. Reduction of use for ornamental landscaping.
B. Reduction of use in time of a dire public emergency (Le.
earthquake, terrorist act affecting the water supply).
III. WHEN A NEW BUSINESS MEETING THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA OF
THE ABOVE EXPRESSES INTEREST IN LOCATING IN CHULA VISTA,
THE ABOVE POLICY WOULD BE MADE KNOWN TO THAT BUSINESS.
IV. The City would work with the water provider to assure there would be no
net impact on water availability resulting from the execution of this policy
by reducing allowed density under the General Plan in an amount sufficient
in the opinion of the water supplier to offset demand generated by new
business.
V. Developers who attract business to Chula Vista by making their own
arrangements to secure water supplies not subject to cutbacks or rationing
in time of foreseeable shortage would be exempt from the General Plan
density reductions under this program.
A developer could also gain relief from density reductions by arranging for direct
provision of water to eligible business, or by contributing to water facilities which in the
opinion of the city arid water provider would contribute sufficiently to the assurable water
supply of the region so as to allow eligible business to be assured of uninterrupted water
supply through a natural drought cycle without either reduction in residential density or
reduction in use by other water consumers.

MEMORANDUM
October 7, 1993
TO: Interagency Water Task Force
VIA: Chris Salomone, Community Development Director
FROM: Cheryl Dye, Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Industrial Water Policy
At the September 10 Interagency Water Task Force meeting, Mayor Nader presented a proposal
to establish a "Water Availability Plan for Economic Development". The proposal called for
the development of a policy to assure qualifying businesses an uninterrupted supply of water (for
operational purposes). This memo is submitted in response to questions raised by the
Interagency Water Task Force at that meeting.
BACKGROUND
The proposal for an Industrial Water Policy to assure pnonty treatment for select local
employers stems from the City's general concern regarding the potential unreliability of water
for business operations and specifically, the strong need expressed by the Biotech/Biomed
business community. As you know, the Council is actively pursuing recruitment of High Tech,
Biotech and Biomed firms. A High Tech/Biotech Task Force is currently developing a targeted
incentive package; water reliability has been identified as an essential component by industry
representatives such as David Hale, CEO of Gensia; Mary Walker, incoming President of
Biocom; and representatives from UCSD CONNECT. In addition to needing guarantees of an
uninterrupted water supply, the industry needs assurance of water availability over time. Mr.
William Rastetter, CEO of IDEC Pharmaceuticals says "The biopharmaceutical industry needs
assurance that there will be adequate water for manufacturing as our companies grow. The
demand for our products may increase 35 % per year following product launch. If our water
usage is frozen at the previous year's level, we'll have to ration our products!"
In regards to industry in general, a 1991 study entitled "Cost of Industrial Water Shortages" by
the California Urban Water Agencies, notes "California, more than the other major U.S.
industrial centers of manufacturing has an increasingly unreliable water system. Water supply
unreliability is one more business problem -- joining air pollution, traffic congestion, and
housing costs -- to discourage plant and equipment investment in California . . . Location and
expansion decisions depend on a host of criteria -- and water supply reliability has become one
of them... The current drought as the harbinger of declining water supply reliability has eroded
business confidence... Plant managers believe that production would be at risk in the event of
further water shortages. Consequently, some industries are reconsidering plant and equipment
investment plans, and in some cases, are looking elsewhere for plant expansions. . . Further
c2.tJb-S-

actions to save water in new ways and new policies to assure adequate water supplies to industry
must be eXDected. The prospect of large losses bv California's kev industries due to Door water
supDlv reliabilitv dictates the need for innovative solutions."
TASK FORCE QUESTIONS
The Task Force requested Chula Vista staff to provide information concerning:
1. Amounts of industrial acreage within each water district.
2. Typical industrial water usage.
3. Growth trends for the Biotech/Biomed industry.
4. How other areas are guaranteeing water, including the City of San Diego.
The following information is provided:
1. Amount of industrial zoning within each water district.
Exhibit 1 lists the industrial areas within each district, and their estimated developed and
undeveloped acreage. As the exhibit shows, Otay Municipal Water District includes a
total of 1267 industrial acres, of which approximately 780 are vacant; Sweetwater
Authority includes a total of 727 industrial acres, of which 145 are vacant.
2. Industry water use.
Industrial water uses vary widely by type of industry. The extent to which a plant is
negatively affected by water shortage relates, in part, to the way water is used in the
plant. Water is used for cooling, sanitation, irrigation and in the manufacturing process.
Research shows that plants with high process water requirements are likely to reduce
production when faced with water supply shortages and consequently to reduce
employment.
Some examples of industrial water use are shown below:
Company Industry Type # Employees Water Use
1. Rohr Aerospace R & D and 3,500 275,000 gal/day
manufacturer
2. Goldcoast Eng. Light manufacturing 110 2,900 gal/day
3. N ellcor Biomed-Manufacturing 312 4,700 gal/day
4. Tanabe Pharmaceutical Biotech R & D 40 1,000,000 gal/day
ol.tyb-~
Interagency Water Task Force

(See Exhibit #2 for miscellaneous water use characteristics.)
3. Biotech/Biomed ~rowth.
Approximately half of all U.S. biotech/biomed firms are located in California; San Diego
is one of the world's four leading biotech centers with approximately 77 biomedical and
116 biopharmaceutica1 (biotech) companies. San Diego area biomed companies currently
employ 8,600 people; biotech companies employ over 11,000 (for every manufacturing
job - 2.5 spinoff jobs are created). Exhibit 3 discusses biotech/biomed growth.
The biotech industry is still in its infancy; most biotech firms are in the latter phases of
research and development, at the threshold of manufacturing. As they move to
production, their employment increases dramatically at all levels. (Chula Vista is
targeting biotech manufacturing.) Statewide sales are projected to jump from $3 billion
in 1991 to $75 billion in the year 2000.
A 1992 UCSD survey indicated that 50% of local biomed and 20% of local biotech were
considering leaving California. The water supply issue is one of the many factors
contributing to their dissatisfaction.
In terms of overall projected Industrial/R&D absorption within the Chula Vista area, a
recent Williams Keubelbeck and Associates study shows 90,000 - 135,000 square feet
will be absorbed annually through 1995 and 200,000 - 280,000 square feet annually from
1995 to the year 2000. This translates into 5 to 7 acres and 10 to 14 acres
respectively. See Exhibit 4.
4. Water guarantees in other areas.
Mayor Golding has pledged that San Diego would guarantee water for Biotech industry.
In discussing this issue with the San Diego Economic Development Services Department
staff, however, it was indicated that no Council direction had emerged, and no program
was being formulated at this time.

SURVEY FINDS GROWl'll CONTINUES IN
BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL INDUSTRIES
SAN DIEGO -- Results of the annual survey conducted by Ernst & Young, an
international professional services firm, and CONNECT, the UCSD Program in
Technology and Entrepreneurship, reveal that there is strong and continuous
growth in San Diego in the biotechnology and biomedical fields. The survey found
that there are now 116 biotech companies and 77 biomed companies active in San
f ')1ft Diego. These companies employ approximately 20,000 people. Some of the biotech
., firms formed in the last year include Genset, Cosmederm Technologies, Ontogen,
PRIZM Pharmaceuticals, Signal Pharmaceuticals, Neurocrine Bi9sciences, Inc.
and Sequana Therapeutics. Some of the new biomed companies founded in the last
/ twelve months include CyberRx, Dominator Radiology Systems, FemCap and
-to! i,l Medical Optics, Inc.
IJU
J)'/1 "What is apparent about these start-ups is that they are exceptionally well
financed and have recruited strong management teams. These companies are
similar to the well-financed and managed companies founded several years ago,
many of whom are now the cornerstones of the local industry," said Ray
Dittamore, Managing Partner of Ernst & Young's San Diego office. "From a long-
term point of view, this is very encouraging for our community."

;'</
The biotech CEOs who responded to the survey indicated they planned to hire
over 1,000 new employees in the next year. 46% of the CEOs responded that they
frequently hire local college graduates, citing science as the preferred educational
background. The biomed CEOs who responded projected approximately 600 new
jobs in the next year, but only 15% said they regularly hire from local colleges and
universities. Of those CEOs, 28% look for students with degrees in sales and
marketing followed by science (26%) and business (19%).

The survey also pointed out that local biotechnology and biomedical companies
are looking to alternative financing strategies to fund their companies. 68% of the
biotech CEOs expect to be involved in a strategic alliance in the next twelve months.
Of the biomed CEOs responding, 59% said there was a greater chance that they
would be involved in an alliance in the next year. "Today the venture capitalists
and other private markets are being very selective in the companies they choose to
invest in. As a result, biotech and biomed companies are looking to alliances as a
means of gaining access to new capital resources:' noted CONNECT Director
William Otterson. "In addition, through these partnerships, companies can gain
access to new markets and enhance the marketing, distribution and sales of their
products." The survey also showed that mergers and acquisitions were also
expected to be on the rise in the coming year.
The survey probed the CEOs' thoughts on the local political leadership's
performance with respect to the biotechnology industry. 89% of the biotechnology
CEOs and 73% ofthe biomedical CEOs rated the performance either as improved or
unchanged in the last twelve months, while only 11% of the biotech and 27% of
biomed CEOs believe their performance has declined. "The local leadership,
spearheaded by Mayor Susan Golding, has taken a more proactive position with
respect to accommodating and facilitating growth within the industry:' said
Dittamore.
When the CEOs were asked about their suggestions to the Clinton Health Care
Reform Task Force, an overwhelming number indicated the need to speed up the
FDA approval process for biomedical products and to eliminate any consideration
of the imposition of drug or device price controls by the federal government.

ATTACHMENT C
Memorandum
To:
Sidney Summers, Senior Management Assistant
cc:
Sid Morris, Assistant City Manager
Cheryl D. Dye, Economic Development Manag{!JIJ
From:
Date:
October 9, 1993
Subject:
Industrial Water Policy/Mayor's Proposal to Interagency
Water Task Force
As you know, the Mayor presented the attached proposal to the IWTF at their
August 13, 1993 meeting. Sid Morris requested that the EDC chairman and I
attend as resources for questions. The IWTF had questions which were
addressed in the attached memo dated, October 7, 1993 and submitted to the
IWTF on October 8.
The Mayor was not in attendance at the October 8 meeting. The IWTF
raised the following questions concerning his proposal:
1. It is anticipated that issues regarding agricultural water use will be raised
soon with the County Water Authority. One issue relates to their need to
know what the price of water will be "over the next five years"(for both row
crops and tree growers). Is the IWTF being asked to look at shifting water
resources from agriculture to biotech?
2 Is the IWTF being asked to take action as independent water authorities -
i.e., independent of the CWA and MWD?
3. If the City is proposing that some type of incentive be provided for high
water users, is the City willing to provide the same companies an incentive
related to sewer rates? What other City incentives would apply to these
same qualifying firms?
4. Under the proposed program, what are the specific water amounts and
specific number and types of firms involved?
..20b -/?
5. Is it appropriate to ensure priority rights to firms using disproportionately
high volumes of water per employee (as is the case with biotech)?
It should also be noted that Mr. Lewinger of Otay Water District posed a
concept whereby agriculture companies would pay cheaper water rates during
non-drought times in return for discontinued water use during drought times.
This would potentially allow industry to benefit from guaranteed water during
drought - in return for paying higher rates during non-drought times. While
potentially a creative solution, this scenario raises numerous questions of a
political, administrative, and economic nature.
The answers to the questions raised by the IWTF will need to be framed within
the context of City policy decisions. I understand that in light of the fact that
City policy is involved and that significant staff time will be required to fully
pursue an industrial water policy, it will be recommended to the Mayor that
this item be taken to Council for direction to staff.
Please let me know if any further action is needed from Community
Development or if you have any questions.

The Honorable Tim Nader
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
276 Fourth Avenue
Chula Vista, CA 91910
Dear Mayor Nader:
I wanted to let you know that my Assembly Bill 1332, regarding
vehicles used for ur . ion, was recently signed by
the Gover n will take effect January , 94. This bill
aut zes the County of San Diego and each of its ci' to adopt
ordinance establishing a five-year pilot program ich
implements procedures for declaring any motor vehicle a pub c
nuisance when the vehicle is used in the commission of an act 0
prostitution. The ordinance may include procedures to enjoin d
abate the declared nuisance by authorizi emporary
As you may know, Portland and Detroit have similar ordinances and
the results have been remarkable. Prostitution and related crimes
have dropped dramatically, and in some areas, virtually
disappeared.
Under the Red Light Abatement Law, every building used for
prostitution can be deemed a nuisance and enjoined and abated.
This bill recognizes that if vehicles are subject to the same
procedures, street prostitution would be vastly curtailed.
I believe implementation of this law serves the best interests of
the local business owners and citizens of our community. I urge
the City to implement it as soon as possible. For your reference
I have enclosed a copy of the bill. Thank you for your assistance
in this matter.
