Ken Lee, Assistant Planning Director
SUBJECT:
Channelside Shopping Center
On September 28, 1994, the Commission considered and recommended certification of a final
Environmental Impact Report for the Channelside Shopping Center, located south of SR-54
between 5th Avenue and Broadway, One of the discretionary actions that will be part of the
project approvals to be considered by the City Council and Redevelopment Agency is a
Disposition and Development Agreement among the Agency, Walmart Store, Inc, and Chula
Vista Town Center Associates, L.P. The DDA has been conditionally approved by the
Redevelopment Agency. This aspect of the project was not specifically referenced in the final
EIR for the project. Therefore an Addendum to the final EIR has been prepared and will be
considered by the Council and Agency in their deliberation over the project. The Addendum
to the Pinal EIR concludes that satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the DDA (e,g.
certification of the final EIR) would not result in any environmental effects that were not
otherwise anticipated from the project. All project impacts were addressed in the Pinal EIR
in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
No action by the Planning Commission is required for this item. Copies of the DDA and the
Addendum to the final EIR are attached for your information.
ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EIR-94-04
Channelside Shopping Center
PROJECT NAME: Channelside Shopping Center
PROJECT LOCATION: Northwest comer of SR-54 and National City Boulevard
(Broadway)
PROJECT APPLICANT: National Avenue Associates
PROJECT AGENT: National Avenue Associates/Gatlin Development
CASE NO.: EIR-94-04A
I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the
Environmental Review Coordinator (ERe) to prepare an addendum to an
Environmental Impact Report, if one of the following conditions is present:
1. The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since
completion of the Pinal EIR have not created any new significant
environmental impacts not previously addressed in the Pinal EIR;
2. Additional or refined information available since completion of the Pinal EIR
regarding the potential environmental impact of the project, or regarding the
measures or alternatives available to mitigate potential environmental effects
of the project, does not show that the project will have one or more significant
impacts which were not previously addressed in the Pinal EIR.
This addendum has been prepared in order to include a Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) as an additional discretionary action that is
proposed for the project. As a result of this addition, the basic conclusions of the
Pinal EIR have not changed. Any environmental impacts that may result from
approval of the DDA have been addressed as project impacts in the Pinal EIR.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has
prepared the following Addendum to the Pinal EIR for the Channelside Shopping
Center EIR-94-04A.
A. PROJECT SETTING
The 32.5 acre project site is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Chula
Vista, in an area roughly bounded by SR-54, National City Boulevard/Broadway, C
Street and 5th Avenue. Existing features on the site consist of graded pads and
slopes, as well as two drainage features with wetland and other native habitat.
Existing land use designations for the site allow Limited Industrial uses.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Channelside Shopping Center project consists of the development of
a regional retail commercial shopping center totaling approximately 219,219 square
feet of floor area. Within the 22 acre area proposed for development, specific uses
include a 149,289 square foot major anchor. The contemplated user for this space
is Walmart Stores, Inc. The City has entered into a conditional agreement with
Walmart Stores, Inc., entitled "Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)
Among the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
and Chula Vista Town Centre Associates, L.P.". The Draft EIR did not specifically
make reference to a development agreement as a discretionary action to be carried
out as a part of the project. This Addendum to the Final EIR for the Channelside
Shopping Center has been prepared to add the DDA to the list of discretionary
action to be considered in conjunction with the overall development project.
Ifspecified conditions occur in the sole and unfettered discretion of the City/Agency,
the agreement commits the City/Agency to provide an economic incentive to Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc. to redevelop a blighted, previously urbanized parcel within a
Redevelopment Project Area. The legal effectiveness of the agreement is
conditioned upon the following: 1) Certification of a Final EIR for the proposed
development project and satisfaction of all other CEQA requirements pertaining
thereto; and 2) Approval of all necessary discretionary land use approvals required
to implement the project. The conditional agreement does not require that Wal-
Mart construct the redevelopment project, but does provide Wal-Mart an economic
incentive if it does proceed with the redevelopment. The agreement expressly
reserves for the City/Agency the right to grant or withhold land use entitlements in
the City/Agency's sole and unfettered discretion. Such a right includes the right to
independently evaluate the environmental impacts of the redevelopment project in
accordance with CEQA.
A Notice of Exemption pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines was filed
for approval of the DDA. The Notice of Exemption provides evidence of the exempt
status of the DDA as defined by CEQA.
-2-
C. IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Impacts associated with the effectiveness of the DDA, in conjunction with other
discretionary actions associated with the project, would not result in any
environmental effects that are not otherwise anticipated from implementation of the
project itself. This conclusion is reached based on a previous examination of the
DDA that resulted in a Notice of Exemption being filed for the action of conditional
approval of the DDA. Environmental effects associated with the project itself have
been analyzed in the Final Environmental Impact Report, in full compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act.
D. CONCLUSION
No new significant environmental effects would result from meeting the conditions
of effectiveness of the DDA based on the inability of the action to have any such
effects. No additional mitigation beyond that specified in the Final EIR is required.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above
discussion, I hereby find that the project revisions to the proposed project will result
in only minor technical changes or additions which are necessary to make the Final
EIR adequate under CEQA.

RECITALS
A. On ,199_, the REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA ("Agency"), WAL-MART STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Redeveloper"), and , a California limited partnership comprised of
("Seller"), entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement
("Agreement"), relating to the redevelopment of cenain real property located in the City of
Chula Vista. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is on me in the City Clerk's Office
located at 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California 91910.
B. The Agency and the Redeveloper have executed and delivered this Note pursuant
to the Agreement. Tenns not defmed herein shall have the meaning ascribed in the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agency and the Redeveloper agree as follows:
1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the Agency promises to pay to the order of the Redeveloper, at 702 S.W. 8th Street,
Bentonville, Arkansas 72716, Attn: President and Attn: Property Manager or at such other
address as the Redeveloper may from time to time designate, the principal sum of One Million
Nine Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($1,915,OOO.OO) in accordance with the following:
2. Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid principal balance owed hereunder shall
accrue at the rate of four percent (4%) simple interest per annum, commencing on the date the
Store on the Wal-Mart Parcel opens for business, and continuing thereafter until the principal
and interest are paid in full or the Agency's obligation is forgiven and discharged as set forth
in paragraph 4 below or is otherwise properly tenninated.
3. Installment Pavment. The obligation of the Agency to make payments to the
Redeveloper pursuant to this Promissory Note is expressly contingent upon the construction,
opening to the general public for retail sales and continued operation as a retail outlet of a WaI-
Mart store (the "Store") on the WaI-Mart Parcel. Subject to the opening for business and
continued operation of the Store on the Wal-Mart Parcel, the Agency shall make installment
payments of principal and interest to the Redeveloper at the times and subject to the other terms
and conditions herein set forth.
3.lo Installment payments of principal and interest will be payable quarterly
during the tenn of this Note, in arrears and without offset or demand: (i) commencing 30 days
after the date that City or the Agency receives a detailed report ("Detailed Report") from the
State Board of Equalization itemizing the sources of the State Board of Equalization
..3 ~ 17
reconciliation payment ("Reconciliation Payment") for the first quarter in which the store opens
for business (the "First Payment Date") and (ii) continuing 30 days after the date that the
Agency receives the Detailed Report for each subsequent quarter through including the 59th
calendar quarter after the First Payment Date until the earlier of (a) the Payment Date on which
all principal and interest have been paid to the Redeveloper; or (b) the quaner during which the
Wal-Mart Store ceases to operate as a Wal-Mart retail outlet (individually a "Payment Date" and
collectively the "Payment Dates"),
3.2. On each Payment Date, the Agency shall pay to the Redeveloper the
"Redeveloper's Payment" as hereinafter defmed. The Redeveloper's Payment shall be an
amount equal to. a specifIed portion of the "Sales and Use Tax Revenues" generated by the
operation of the Wal-Mart Store on the Wal-Mart Parcel as set forth below. Sales and Use Tax
Revenues means those funds received by the City of Chula Vista (the "City") as unrestricted
general fund revenues pursuant to the imposition of the Bradley-Burns unifonn Local Sales and
Use Tax Law (the "Sales Tax Law"), conunencing with Section 7200 of the Revenue and Tax
Code of the State of California, as amended, arising from sales at or from the Wal-Mart Parcel
which are subject to such Sales and Use Tax Law. Any funds received by the City from
impositions pursuant to the Sales Tax Law which are subject to use restrictions imposed by the
State shall not be included in the definition of Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the First Payment
Year.
3.3. The Redeveloper's Payment shall be calculated as follows:
A. The payment to Redeveloper in the First Payment Year (to be paid
quanerly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal and
interest in full or twenty percent (20%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues.
B. The payment to Redeveloper in the Second Payment Year (to be
paid quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal
and interest in full or thirty percent (30%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Second
Payment Year.
C. The payment to Redeveloper in the Third Payment Year (to be paid
quanerly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal and
interest in full or thirty-fIve percent (35%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Third
Payment Year.
D. The payment to Redeveloper in the Fourth Payment Year (to be
paid quanerly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal
and interest in full orforty-five percent (45%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Fourth
Payment Year.
E. The payment to Redeveloper in the Fifth through the Fifteenth
Payment Years (to be paid quanerly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount
necessary to pay principal and interest in full or fIfty percent (50%) of the Sales and Use Tax
Revenues in the applicable Payment Year.
3 r- tt'
3.4. As used in this Note, Sales and Use Tax Revenues based on sales at or
from the Site will be deemed to include only sales which occur on the Site and sales which occur
elsewhere, if they are initiated on the Site and if the situs of the sale is within the Agency's
corporate limits. The parties agree for purposes of detennining the amount of the Redeveloper's
Payment that the Agency will not be obligated to consider Sales and Use Tax Revenues from
any source other than Tax Revenue which is based on sales at or from the Wal-Mart Parcel.
3.5. If the Sales Tax Law is modified after the date of this Promissory Note in
a manner which results in the City receiving an increased or a decreased amount of Sales and
Use Tax Revenues from the Wal-Mart Parcel, the amount of the Redeveloper's Payment shall
be calculated on the modifIed level of Sales and Use Tax Revenues.
If the Sales Tax Law is repealed after the date of this Promissory Note the
Agency's obligation pursuant to the Promissory Note shall be deemed to be forgiven and
discharged, and no liability of the Agency for the nonpayment of such principal and interest shall
result in any manner whatsoever. Provided, however, that if concurrent with the repeal of the
Sales Tax Law, additional legislation provides for the replacement of all or a portion of the Sales
and Use Tax Revenues, the Agency's obligation to make Redeveloper Payments shall be deemed
to be modifIed and will thereafter be based on the alternative fonn of tax or revenue (the
"Alternative Revenue") which the City receives with regard to the applicable quarter in total or
partial replacement of Sales and Use Tax Revenue. In addition, in the event of such repeal and
replacement of Sales and Use Tax Revenues, the Redeveloper and the Agency will fully
cooperate with one another in amending the Agreement and this Promissory Note as is necessary
or appropriate to facilitate repayment of this Note in a manner consistent with the amount and
nature of the Alternative Revenue and the intent of the parties in entering into the Agreement
and this Promissory Note.
The parties acknowledge that their intent includes:
A. The timely and full payment of the principal and interest of
this Promissory Note.
B. The Redeveloper's Payment shall not exceed an amount
which is equal to fIfty percent (50%) of the incremental unrestricted revenues received by the
City in each fiscal year as a result of the operation of the Wal-Mart Store.
C. The Agency's obligation to repay the Redeveloper shall not
extend beyond fIfteen (15) years after the date the Wal-Mart Store is opened for business and
tenninates upon closure or transfer of the Wal-Mart Store, provided that the Agency shall make
the payment to the Redeveloper for the last calendar quarter prior to such tennination.
3.6. All such payments shall reduce the accrued interest first and then the
unpaid principal until the principal and interest due hereunder is paid in full, or the Agency's
obligation is forgiven and discharged as set forth in Paragraph 4 below or is otherwise properly
tenninated.
~~J9
4. For!!iveness and Dischar!!e of Balance of Obligation. In the event that the
payment of the Redeveloper's Payments in the amounts set forth above is insufficient to fully
satisfy and discharge the amount of principal and interest on this Note by the Final Payment
Date, any and all principal and interest on this Note remaining unpaid after such Final Payment
shall be forgiven and discharged, and no liability of the Agency for the nonpayment of such
principal shall result in any manner whatsoever. The Final Payment Date shall be the Payment
Date for the calendar quarter which is first to occur of: (i) the 59th calendar quarter after the
First Payment Date; (ii) the quarter for which all outstanding principal and accrued interest are
paid in full; or (Hi) the Payment Date in the first quarter in which the Wal-Mart Store ceases
to operate as a Wal-Mart retail outlet.
5. Preoavment. The Agency shall have the right at any time to prepay all or any
portion of the unpaid principal balance owing under this Promissory Note.
6. General Provisions. All sums payable hereunder shall be due and payable in
lawful money of the United States of America. In the event any installment due hereunder is
not paid by the Agency within fifteen (I5) days after it is due, such installment shall bear
interest from and after such date at the lesser of the rate of eleven percent (11 %) per annum or
the maximum legal rate, but not less than the rate fll'st set forth above, until paid. If any action
is instituted to enforce this Note, the losing party in any such action promises to pay reasonable
attorney's fees and costs and expenses. This Note has been executed in the State of California
and shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California.
