DISCUSSION SUMMARY: Anthony Lettieri, otay Ranch General Manager, outlined the agenda, and stated that the purpose of this workshop is to promote understanding of the approach to habitat and species protection for Otay Ranch. steve Lacy, biologist with Ogden Environmental, used viewgraphs to survey the regional and subregional landscape with respect to major geographic features, sensitive habitats and species, and wildlife corridors. He stated that one of the major issues of a project this size is management of a data base for the ultimate establishment of a long-term, multi-species preserve. No. 1 10/22/92 mdb page 1 of 3 pages l Anthony Lettieri stated that the purpose of the Resource Sensitivity Analysis is to provide a comparative study of environmental resources which will serve as a reference for future land use decisions on the Ranch. With the aid of viewgraphs, he explained the criteria applied in evaluating tha resource quality of individual parcels. Anne Ewing reviewed the goals and objectives of the Resource Management Plan. Steve Lacy stated that, in developing Plan alternatives, attention was given to such features as wildlife corridors; how well the alternative supports or impacts open space; how well the open space ties into city-owned lands around Otay Lakes; and how the infrastructure is impacted. He reported that the New Town plan gives protection to resources. otay Ranch staff members were Commended for their comprehensive planning. It was suggested that biological studies of inholding properties be dOne at this stage so as to maximize opportunities. It was reported that the California Department of Fish and Game will also be making recommendations; and that responses are being made to all comments throughout the pUblic review period. A request was made that specific resources be identified within parcels classified by their resource value. Anne Ewing clarified that as Specific Plan Amendments are developed, Supplemental Environmental Impact Reports will be prepared for any new effects. Mayor Nader announced that the next County of San Diego/City of Chula Vista joint workshop will take place on Wednesday, November 4, 1992, 10:00 a.m., at the County Administration Center.

DOCUMENTS: Letter, Board of Supervisors Document No. 753507, from Carolyn Z. O'Patry, regarding annexation of otay Ranch parcels to an existing water system. DISCUSSION SUMMARY: Dan Marum, transportation planner for Otay Ranch, presented an overview of the transportation planning done on the Project. He stated that three primary parcels were used in modeling -- the otay River parcel, the Proctor Valley parcel, and the San Ysidro parcel. He explained that the Otay River parcel is the most intense pocket of development, and that State Route 125 will provide critical linkage to the Project. He made the following points: Ten-lane freeway capacity on 1-5 and Highway 805 is fundamental to the forecasts which are included in the Environmental Impact Report. The two primary roads impacted by the inclusion or deletion of Alta and La Media Roads are Highway 805 and State Route 125. The need for construction of State Route 125 is critical, and is in advance of the need to expand 1-5 and Highway 805. There is a mechanism in place for each level of development on the otay Ranch, requiring identification of impacts and Project mitigation to roadways. No. 1 11/24/92 mdb Page 1 of 3 pages . (- r Land designated for the university was coded as a university site, and the impacts were included in the analyses of the regional and local impacts. The Congestion Management Plan will require an intensive look at impacts irrespective of this review of the otay Ranch. Lyman Christopher, Director of Finance, City of Chula Vista, discussed the history of the Service/Revenue macro analysis. He stated that the fiscal impact is measured by comparing an estimate of the costs of providing local government services to the area with the operating revenues that would be generated. Key assumptions of the Macro Analysis include: Costs and revenues are based on current dollars, with no inflation factors, and projections cover a 3D-year planning period. Chula vista would provide services to the urban area; and the County would provide services to the rural areas and regional services to the entire Project area. The property tax split would be subject to negotiations between the County and the City. Joan Vokac, Chief of Facilities Planning for the County, discussed the Service/Revenue micro analysis, which looks more closely at the Project's costs and revenues. She stated that it is a cooperative effort by the County, the City, and the developer. She reported that the micro analysis addresses the regional as well as the local implications of the Project; and is fully computerized, allowing for growth and change as the Project changes or as the County or City budgets change. She stated that the County and the City intend to mutually agree on equitable distribution of costs and revenues. She noted the policy whereby special funds set up by Baldwin would handle any shortfalls in the Project's revenue generation, and would fund a fiscal update based on changes to the budget and to the otay Ranch plan. Questions were raised by County Board members and Chula vista Councilmembers relative to: 1) the cost of widening highways versus installation of pUblic transit, and ramifications therefrom; and 2) the effect of timely construction of State Route 125 on the need for expansion of Highway 805. No. 1 11/24/92 mdb Page 2 of 3 pages J ( Concern was expressed that the public will judge the otay Ranch Project mainly by traffic impacts, and it was suggested that a high level of sensitivity toward minimizing those impacts be applied. It was announced that the next meeting of the County of San Diego/City of Chula vista joint workshop will take place on Thursday, December 17, 1992, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the city of Chula vista Council Chamber. - - - STATE OF CALIFORNIA) County of San Diego)" I, ARLINE HULTSCH, Assistant Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego, State of California, hereby certify that I have compared the foregoing copy with the original order adopted by said Board at a regular meeting thereof held Tuesday, November 24, 1992, by the vote herein stated, which original order is now on file in my office; that the same contains a full, true and correct transcript therefrom and of the whole thereof. witness my hand and the seal of said Board of Supervisors, this 24th day of November, 1992.

CITY Of CHUL,A VISTA November 13, 1992 TO: Members of the Chula Vista City Council Members of the County Board of Supervisors r- FROM: Anthony J. Lettieri, AlCP, General Manager SUBJECT: Executive Summary Service/Revenue Macro-analysis of Three Development Alternatives for Otay Ranch Scope-of-Work and Purpose of Studv The scope-of-work for the Service/Revenue Macro-analysis was to evaluate the operating costs and revenues of three alternative development plans for Otay Ranch: the Baldwin Submittal; the Project Team Alternative; and the Low Density Alternative. The study was limited to exarrination of revenue and service cost impacts on the City of Chula Vista, the County of San Diego and the combined impacts. Capital costs were excluded from consideration as well. The purpose of the Service/Revenue Macro-analysis is to provide a general comparison of three different land use scenarios to illustrate the relationship between intensity of the project and fiscal impacts of the project. Findings Based on the data presented, the following findings can be made comparing the three methodologies: . All three proposals result in higher revenues than service costs for the first 30 years of the project. . . The highest density plan has the highest surplus of revenues exceeding costs. . The lowest density plan has the smallest surplus of revenues exceeding costs. . For all three scenarios [verify after charts are drawn] the County revenues are strongest during the first 20 years and then begin declining; City revenues are strongest in the final three years and growing. This implies that equitable revenue distribution formulas should recognize the changing revenue relationships between the two agencies. 315 Fourth Avenue, Suite A, Chula Vista, CA 91910.

The cumulative net fiscal impact from 1994-2023 (thousands of dollars) is as follows: Submittal 21% PTA Low Densitv $ 232 $(13,881) 40.163 37.565 $40,395 $ 23,684 .-- 8% 7% City (Urban) County (Rural/Reg'l) Combined Surplus Margin: (% of cumulative revenues) $114,153 86.791 $200,944 Methodology and Format While the Service/Revenue Plan provides detailed descriptions of the assumptions employed to project costs and revenues, several key assumptions need to be noted to assist in the interpretation of the results: . Costs and revenues are projected in 1990 dollars and include no provisions for ir.flatiun. Projections cover a 30-year planning period commencing in 1994. . The Service/Revenue Macro-analysis assumed that the City of Chula Vista would provide services to the urbanized project areas with the County of San Diego providing regional services to the entire project area and basic local government services to rural areas. As a result, all costs and revenues have been projected based on City and County service levels and cost and revenue structures in place as of the summer of 1990. . Property tax revenues are apportioned based on the provisions of the Master Property Tax Agreement for analytical purposes. Limitations of Service/Revenue Macro-analvsis The Service/Revenue Macro-analysis is only an overview examination of short-term costs and revenues. Because of omissions in methodology, it does not provide information with sufficient accuracy to make judgements on City/County revenue distribution issues. For many of the costs and revenues, general estimatioI'_ techniques were used which are imprecise; since the methodology was applied consistently to the three land use scenarios, it fulfilled the purpose of the study which was to compare three land use scenarios. However, it would be inappropriate to use the results of this study to evaluate either jurisdictional boundary options or City/County revenue formulas. Before additional use of fiscal impact results can be made, the Service/Revenue Macro-analysis is needed to rectify the omissions of this study, including: OTAY RANCH PROJECT City Council/Board of Supervisors November 13, 1992 Page 3 of 3 . Identification of funding for rural fire protection services; . examination of the extent to which development of Otay Ranch will change absorption rates in surrounding communities and thus affect the City's and County's cost/revenue stream from existing areas; . identification of capital costs and financing methods to be used for infrastructure finance; . cost and revenue streams for other agencies such as schools, special districts and other cities; . examination of the adequacy of proposed service levels which were used to deterrrJne projected costs; and, . projection of costs and revenues beyond project completion to determine long-term impacts. It is important to recognize that the Service/Revenue Macro-analysis does not extend beyond the first 30 years of the project. At the end of the period covered by the Service/ Revenue Macro-analysis, the project will still not be fully built out. Therefore, costs and revenues will still not have "stabilized" as a mature community. In the Service/Revenue Micro-analysis, the costs and revenues will be carried out further and beyond the build out period in order to determine long-term project impacts. This is particularly relevant to the stability of County revenues since 80% of the County's revenue is derived from property ta.x. Once new construction ceases, property ta.x revenues will increase less rapidly and will lose "buying power" due to limitations on property ta.x increase apart from property turnover. 'This does not affect City revenues as greatly because, as the project matures, other revenue sources such as sales taxes and subventions become the dominant revenue generators. memos#3:\pc81192.mem OTAY RANCH PROJECT
