It is with regret that I must resign my appointment to the Mobile Home Rent Review

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, and cannot reliably attend
Commission meetings in the future.
Please extend my thanks to the staff who work so hard to support the citizen-servants as
we go about the business ofthe City. Too often, theirs is a thankless task, and they
discharge their duties admirably. And please thank my colleagues on the Commission. It
was a pleasure to be associated with individuals who give so freely oftheir time and
effort for the betterment ofChula Vista.
When I again become a permanent resident of Chula Vista, I hope that I will again be
able to serve.

ITEM TITLE:
:J. 7'13
Ordinance of the City ofChula Vista amending Section 19.58.147 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to required standards for large
family day care homes.
SUBMITIED BY: Director of Planning and B~d~ al--
REVIEWED BY: CitYManag~~ ~\ (4/5thsVote: Yes_NolO
At the July 20, 1999 City Council meeting, an~endment to the Large Family Day Care ordinance
was approved, with the provision that Planning and Building Department staff and the City
Attorney conduct research regarding the requirement for a 1,200 square foot play area and return to
the City Council with updated information.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the attached ordinance modifying the
existing large family day care provisions (Section 19.58.147) of the Municipal Code.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: See attached City Council staff report of
July 20, 1999.
DISCUSSION:
The amendment to the Large Family Day Care ordinance was approved by the City Council with
the following provisions:
. Maintain the existing 300 foot notice radius
. Eliminate the 1,200 square foot play area requirement
. Eliminate the potential requirement to provide a block wall to attenuate noise
The Council, however, expressed concern regarding the elimination of the 1,200 square foot play
area requirement, and requested that staff research whether or not the State has a minimum
requirement for outdoor play space. If the State did not have a reasonable requirement for
minimum outdoor play space, the Council requested that the ordinance be revised to allow staff the
discretion to require adequate outdoor play space.
In discussions with the State of California, Child Care Advocate, City staff determined that the
State Licensing Agency does not have a minimum on site play area requirement, but rather uses a
"reasonableness" standard. Each facility is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. For example, the
State considers it acceptable to allow play space in a nearby park, if there is not adequate outdoor
play space on site.
~-I
Page 2, Item No:
Meeting Date: 10/5/99
Per Council's direction, staff has reconsidered the elimination of the requirement for a 1,200
square foot play area. Staff is proposing that the exact square footage requirement be replaced
with a provision stating: "adequate outdoor play space shall be required and determined on a case
by case basis", as shown in Attachment 1. This approach would allow the City Zoning
Administrator to evaluate each case on its merits, and provide flexibility in determining the exact
size and configuration of outdoor play area to be provided. This is similar to the approach the
State utilizes. Staff recommends that the Council adopt this approach, and approve an amended
ordinance containing the language shown in Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMP ACT:
There may be some impact to the City in terms of lost revenue due to the proposed reduction in fees
from $350 to $150.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item:
Meeting Date: 7/20/99
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: PCA-99-01, Consideration of an amendment to Section
19.58.147 of the Municipal Code to revise standards and processing for
large family day care homes. - City Initiated.
Ordinance of the City ofChula Vista amending Section 19.58.147
of the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to required standards for large
family day care homes.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and Building
REVIEWED BY:
City Manager
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NolO
The Planning and Building Department was requested by the Economic Development
Commission in July 1998, to reevaluate the Large Family Day Care Homes ordinance in
anticipation of a critical surge in demand resulting from the Welfare Reform Legislation. The
Needs Assessment Committee of the San Diego County Child Care Planning Council has
identified the City of Chu1a Vista as a "high needs community" in the South Bay area. The
biggest need identified was care for infants and after school age children.
As a result of meetings with the Child Care Task Force, the Planning Division has accumulated a
great deal of data regarding large family day care facilities. Additionally, since the initial Task
Force meeting, the Planning Division staff has been in contact with Dana Lovelace, Child Care
Advocate for the State of California, Department of Social Services. As a result of our research
and input from the State, we are recommending that the current process and requirements be
modified.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that, as a procedural amendment, the
project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the General
Rule exemption section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the attached ordinance modifying the
existing large family day care provisions (Section 19.58.147) of the Municipal Code.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Child Care Commission reviewed
the proposal on December 1, 1998 and was supportive of the changes to the ordinance proposed by
staff as well as a reduction in fees and process streamlining. The Chairperson of the Commission
has also submitted a letter expressing her general concerns which is included as Attachment 3.

Meeting Date: 7/20/99
The Planning Commission considered this proposal on April 14, 1999 and voted 7-0 to approve a
Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the amendment in accordance with the
draft City Council Ordinance No. . In addition to adopting the Resolution, the Planning
Commission made the following recommendations which have been incorporated into the attached
ordinance:
1. Add a condition "I": "a business license will be obtained concurrently with the use permit."
2. Add a condition ''f': "at the City's discretion, an annual review of the permit may be done to
determine compliance with State and City requirements and the permits conditions of
approval."
Additionally, the Commission also expressed concern that with the reduction in fees that the City
may not be able to recoup the cost of staff time and mailing. With the reduction in the number of
properties being noticed this should not be a problem.
DISCUSSION:
Federal welfare reform legislation (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
Act of 1996) became effective in July 1998. This legislation essentially placed work requirements
and time limits on assistance for welfare recipients. The Economic Development Commission
believed that this legislation would result in an increased demand for additional affordable daycare
facilities within the City.
Staff responded to the concerns of the Economic Development Commission by developing a
program which would simplify the process for obtaining approval of a large family daycare permit
as well as making it more affordable and less time consuming. Currently the process takes
approximately 37 days to complete and the City places the following requirements on an applicant:
A. Notice shall be given to properties within 300 feet ofthe proposed large family daycare
home at least ten days prior to consideration of the permit.
B. The permit shall be considered without public hearing unless a hearing is requested by the
applicant or other affected party. The applicant or other affected party may appeal the
zoning administrator's decision to the planning commission.
C. The family daycare function shall be incidental to the residential use of the property.
D. A large family daycare home shall not locate within:
1. Three hundred feet of another such facility with said measurement being defined
as the shortest distance between the property lines of any such facilities; and
A:\A113finallfd.rpt.doc
i, ,~
Page 3, Item No:
Meeting Date: 7/20/99
2. Twelve hundred feet of another such facility along the same street with said
measurements being defined as the shortest distance between front property lines,
as measured along the same street, of any such facilities.
E. The owner must provide a double-wide driveway which shall be paved to meet City
Standards and be a minimum of 16 feet wide and 19 feet in depth as measured from the
edge of sidewalk to any vertical obstruction. The driveway shall be available during all
hours of operation for the loading and unloading of children. If a garage exists on-site, it
must be utilized for parking of personal vehicle(s). In the event that less than a two-car
garage exists on-site, the owner must designate an area on-site other than on the driveway
so that a total of two personal vehicles can be parked on-site, including the garage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, applicant must comply with all other Municipal Code
provisions as to parking and traffic.
F. If in the opinion of the zoning administrator there is a potential for significant traffic
problems, the zoning administrator shall request review of the application by the city
traffic engineer. The city traffic engineer may impose accessory requirements for the
daycare permit in these instances to insure maintenance of traffic safety levels within the
vicinity of the home.
G. A usable rear yard play area of 1,200 sq. ft. shall be provided. Outdoor play activity shall
not be allowed in the front or exterior side yard of the home.
H. Play areas shall be designed and located to reduce the impact of noise on surrounding
properties. The zoning administrator may impose reasonable requirements to alleviate
noise, including but not limited to installation of a six foot high block wall around the
perimeter of the rear yard.
Section 19.58.147 of the Municipal Code outlines criteria which must be met in order to grant a
large family day care permit. These criteria are based on State law (Health and Safety Code
Sections 1597.30 et seq) which gives the local jurisdiction the ability to impose standards,
restrictions and requirements concerning: 1.) spacing and concentration, 2.) traffic control, 3.)
parking, and; 4.) noise control relating to such homes. The following existing areas of the
Municipal Code have been identified as not being in compliance with State law.
1. The Health and Safety Code states that noticing shall be within a 100-foot radius. The
current code requires noticing of up to 300-foot radius.
2. The City can no longer regulate play area square footages or dimensions. While cities
were allowed to require this in the past, recent State legislation has been adopted which
takes away the City's authority to regulate this aspect of large family.
3. The City cannot require a block wall to attenuate noise. Any noise standards shall be
A:\Al13finallfd.rpt.doc
~~1
:~
Page 4, Item No:
Meeting Date: 7/20/99
consistent with local noise ordinances and shall take into consideration the noise levels
generated by children.
Additionally, the Child Care Advocate for the State of California expressed concern regarding
the following related issues:
1. The $350 administrative use permit fee for a large family day care is too high for those
who are attempting to open a large family day care business.
2. The application and site plan submittal requirement is too complex. They are seeking
simpler and less duplicative documentation.
3. The current spacing and distancing requirements is too stringent and should be
reconsidered. The City's current spacing between facilities is 1200 feet if they are on the
same street and 300 feet if on adjacent streets. Ms. Lovelace indicated that the typical
spacing requirement for other cities in San Diego County is approximately 500 feet.
4. The processing is too time consuming and complex. They would prefer that the large
family day care homes be allowed as a matter of right, rather than through the
administrative CUP process.
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the input from the Child Care Commission and the State of California Child
Care Advocate. Staff has also met with the Child Care Task Force on two occasions and has
considered their concerns regarding the provision of affordable child care in relation to the
current Welfare Reform Legislation.
Required Code Amendments
Staff is recommending that the Municipal Code be amended to be in compliance with State law.
(See Exhibit A). Specifically, Section 19.58.147 (G) and (H) are proposed to be amended.
These sections regulate noticing radius, play area square footage and potential block wall
requirements.
Sug~ested Processing Amendments
Additionally, staff believes that a more streamlined and efficient method of processing large
family day care permits could be accomplished by instituting the following changes:
. Coordinate with the State Community Care Licensing Agency and Fire Marshal for the use
of similar forms. This could provide a simpler and more efficient process for both the
applicant and staff. Staff is currently working with the State Licensing Agency to develop
these forms.
A:\Al13finallfd.rpt.doc
t ,/0
f'
'.
Page 5, Item No:
Meeting Date: 7/20/99
. Revise the Child Care handout and forms at the counter to reflect the streamlined process,
new fees and submittal requirements. The revised fee can be considered since the noticing
requirements are being reduced from 300 to 100 feet. Planning Division staff is currently
working on development of new forms for the public counter.
. Currently, the State Child Care Advocate holds twice a month meetings with potential
providers at the Norman Park Center. A City staff member will be available to attend these
meetings as needed to provide and explain the revised handout, application forms and
procedures.
. Current Site Plan requirements could be modified. Since the size of the play area will not be
regulated, this requirement would be deleted from the submittal requirement.
. Streamline the process from its current 37 day timeframe to 15 days, by noticing concurrently
with routing to other City departments. Staff is currently implementing this procedure.
Spacing Requirements
Staff has considered the concern regarding reducing the spacing requirements for large family
day care homes, however, is not in support of reducing those requirements at this time. The
current spacing requirements were reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council on
November 5, 1997 and December 16, 1997 respectively. At those hearings the 300 foot
requirement was actually added due to the concern regarding overconcentration of large family
day care homes in a neighborhood. The State Child Care Advocate believes that our spacing
requirements should be reduced to be more consistent with other communities in the San Diego
region. Staff briefly reviewed spacing requirements for other communities in the San Diego
region and this survey indicated a wide range of distance restrictions; essentially from no
restriction to 700 feet. Staff is not comfortable with pursuing a reduction in spacing unless
specifically directed by the City Council especially in light of the recent action to be more
stringent with this requirement.
CUP Requirement
State law gives local jurisdictions three options for licensing large family day care facilities.
State code indicates that a County or City can approve large family day care homes "by right",
may "grant a non-discretionary permit", or require a "Use Permit". The City is currently using
the "Use Permit" option. Staff is recommending that the Use Permit option be retained, but that
the process be simplified and the time frame shortened. The time frame would be shortened by
concurrently noticing the project while the application is being routed to the various City
departments for their input. Staff believes that it is important to provide noticing to surrounding
properties, and this is something that would not occur if either of the first two options for
processing were chosen.

Meeting Date: 7/20/99
CONCLUSION
Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the proposed code amendments
and permit processing procedures:
1. Reduction of noticing from 300 feet to 100 feet.
2. Elimination of the 1,200 square foot play area requirement.
3. Elimination of the block wall requirement.
4. Reduction of the fee for a Large Family Day Care Permit to $150.
5. Reduction in the processing time for an Administrative Conditional Use Permit from 37 days
to approximately 15 days.
6. Planning Division staff attendance at the twice monthly orientation meetings.
Items 1-3 require specific Municipal Code amendments and are reflected in the attached draft
ordinance. Item 4 will be brought back before the City Council as a consent item for final review
and approval and Items 5 and 6 are process changes which are currently being implemented by
City staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
There may be some impact to the City in terms of lost revenue due to the proposed reduction in fees
from $350 to $150. However, it is anticipated that at least a portion of this will be negated due to
the reduction in notice radius from 300 to 100 feet.

Commissioner Castaneda stated he could support the proposal with modifications, .r.ie beer
garden at the open-air market should be promoted as nothing more than a snack bar that happens
to sell beer, not a beer garden. Secondly, the sale of beer 3 hours prior to th event should be
reduced to 2 hours. Thirdly, Cmr. Castaneda does not have a concern with nors being allowed
to go into the Silver Bullet Lounge accompanied by an adult before a during the concert,
however, they should be restricted after the end of the concert. His e erience in other venues
has been that the atmosphere in these lounges are not appropriate r minors.
Public Hearing re-opened
Buck Martin, General Manager of Coors Amphitheater r ponded to Commissioner Castaneda's
proposed changes. He stated that Universal Concert' hilosophy is one of providing a service
to their customers. The sale of alcohol 3 hours prio 0 the concert is by no means economically
driven, but is driven by a desire to provide a co plete service to the customer.
Mr. Martin further stated that he has work in many different venues throughout the United
Stated and each jurisdiction has some nd of an open container restriction, however, the
enforcement of the restrictions is som hat gray in all jurisdictions.
MSC (Thomas/O'Neill) (4-3-0-0) t t the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCC-95-47M
recommending that the City C ncil approve the proposed modification in accordance with
the findings and subject to t conditions in the Draft Council Resolution with the following
changes:
a. The 0 en-Ai Market
M-9 That e wording be changed from "exterior beer garden" to Ii A snack bar that
offers b r shall be restricted to persons age 21 and over unless accompanied by a
paren or legal guardian."
b. T e Exterior Beer Garden
-6 Add at the end of this condition "and at the end of 3 months, staff will review
the merits of maintaining the provision to sell alcohol 3 hours prior to start of a
concert vs. 2 hours and will report back to the Commission."
Motion carried with Commissioners Castaneda, Ray and Tarantino voting against it.

5. PUBLIC HEARING: PCA-99-01, Consideration of an amendment to Section 19.58.147 ofthe
Municipal Code to revise standards and processing for large family day
care homes. - City initiated.
Background: Jim Sandoval, Assistant Director of Planning reported that due to changes in federal
legislation regarding Welfare reform there is a belief that a demand for day care facilities has
risen, therefore, in July 1998 the Economic Development Commission requested that the
Planning Department re-evaluate the Large Family Day Care Homes ordinance.

Planning Commission Minutes

April 14, 1999
The San Diego County Child Care Planning Council has identified the City of Chula Vista as a
"high needs community" in the South Bay area, and the greatest need identified is care for infants
and after school age children.
Staff met with Dana Lovelace, a Child Care Advocate with the State of California Department of
Social Services and she identified areas where in her opinion current City Ordinance is not in
conformance with current State Law.
The City's Child Care Commission reviewed the proposal in December 1998 and were
supportive of the ordinance changes and recommended staff look into a reduction in fees and
streamlining of our current process.
The Municipal Code outlines criteria which are based on State law which grants local jurisdiction
the ability to improve standards, restrictions and requirements as it relates to:
1. spacing and concentration
2. traffic control
3. parking, and
4. noise control relating to such homes.
The following existing areas of the Municipal Code have been identified as not being in
compliance with State law.
1. The City cannot require noticing beyond the 100 foot radius. The current Code
requires noticing of up to 300 foot radius.
2. The City cannot regulate play area square footage or dimensions.
3. The City cannot require a block wall to attenuate noise
It is the State's position that the City cannot impose standards on large family day care facilities
that would not normally be imposed upon a typical single family residence.
Additionally, the State agency expressed concern with the following:
1. The $350 administrative fee that is currently charged is somewhat prohibitive to those
who are attempting to establish a day care.
2. That the site plan submittal requirement is too complex
3. The current spacing and distancing requirement is too stringent. Currently spacing
between facilities on the same street is 1200 feet and 300 feet if on adjacent streets.
The typical spacing requirement for other cities in San Diego County is approximately
500 feet, and
4. The processing time is too time consuming and complex.
Staff believes a more efficient method of processing LFDC permits could be accomplished by
instituting the following:
1. Coordinate with the State Community Care Licensing agency and Fire Marshal to create
forms that are consistent, not duplicative, and easier to fill out.
t r~ )i~
Planning Commission Minutes

April 14, 1999
2. Current the State Advocate meets twice monthly with potential providers, and a City
staff member would be available to attend these meetings as needed to provide and
explain the revised handouts, application forms and procedures.
3. Simplify the site plan requirement, and
4. Streamline the process from the current 37 days to approximately 15 days by noticing
concurrently with routing to other City departments.
There are two areas that, although they are not State requirements the State Advocate has made
recommendations on, however, staff does not agree with them. They are:
1. That the spacing requirements be reduced to be more consistent with other jurisdictions
in the region.
Staff reviewed other communities and the survey indicated a wide range of distance
restrictions from no restriction, to 700 feet. In light of recent action to be more
stringent with this requirement, staff is not comfortable pursuing this unless specifically
directed by the Commission.
2. State law gives local jurisdictions three options for licensing large family day care
facilities:
a. by right - requires no permit from the City, only the State
b. grant a non-discretionary permit - allowing standard-type conditions without
the discretion of adding specific conditions to address a problem; and
c. a Use Permit - enables the City to add conditions relating to health and safety
issues, and also provides noticing to neighbors, which the other two do not.
The City currently uses the Use Permit process and staff is recommending that it be
continued, implementing new streamlining processes.
Staff recommendation: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCA-99-01
recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance to amend the existing large family day care
provisions (Section 19,58.147) of the Municipal Code.
Commission Discussion:
Commissioner Castaneda asked if the $150.00 is an accurate reflection of the processing costs
and the City requires proof of certification from the State before a permit is issued.
Mr. Sandoval responded that the City does require proof of certification from the State, and the
processing cost most likely exceeds $150.00, however, for the better good of the community, the
City will absorb the extra cost.
Commissioner Ray stated that he would like staff to re-evaluate the fee schedule to be more
reflective of what the true processing costs; that the obtaining of a business license be done
concurrently with the permit processing; and that the noticing costs be incurred by the applicant.

Commissioner O'Neill expressed concerns with the disparity in parking restrictions for any home-
based business and a large family day care. In addition, he does not support reducing the
noticing distance from 300 feet to 100 and asked what recourse the City has to maintain that
distance.
Mr. Sandoval responded that this is one of the reasons that staff supports continuing the permit
process as is because it at least grants the City the ability imposing certain conditions to deal with
some of the impacts that could be anticipated.
Elizabeth Hull, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the State believes they have pre-empted the
City in the noticing distance requirements from 300 feet to 100 feet, however, it is the City
Attorney's belief that the language of the statute is ambiguous and it would be a policy decision
to challenge the State in this area.
Ms. Hull further indicated that parking requirements is within the City's purview and can be
addressed through the permit process.
Commissioner Thomas supports staff's recommendation to maintain the current Use Permit
thereby granting the City the greatest latitude in having some say in the process, and also would
support any reasonable measure to challenge the State in its position on the noticing distance.
Commissioner Hall stated that his experience having served on the Child Care Commission, is
that this is a "hot" topic because there is a need for child care providers. The City needs to make
sure it is in compliance with State regulations and cautioned against being too stringent, however,
it is good that the City exercise its ability to legally maximize its input, which is through the
current permit process. In addition, Cmr. Hall asked if there was any history of complaints from
surrounding neighbors.
Mr. Sandoval responded that there are presently 23 large family day cares in the community, and
after checking with Code Enforcement they have indicated that no complaints have been raised
by surrounding neighbors.
Public Hearing opened 9:15.
No public input.

grant for the provision of youth after school services, approve the Memorandum of Agreement
between the City of Chula Vista and the South Bay Family YMCA and authorizing the Library and

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Parks and Recreation Commission voted

Recreation Division. A Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment "B") has been prepared setting

The project's goal is to increase youth involvement and participation in positive, healthy activities
by providing them with hands on experiential learning activities in gardening, health and nutrition
in the community. The program will build on the foundation established by the receipt of the
California's 5 a Day Power Play Nutrition Grant and the County Critical Hours Projects. This new
endeavor will also enhance the after-school prevention and education programs at the Healthy
Start Projects located within the Otay Community. The education curricula will be brought into the
non-classroom setting, such as community-based after school programs, including STRETCH and
DASH.
The Recreation Division is involved in several community collaborative groups working to address
the health and human service needs of the community and the related problems of our county.
Therefore, it is appropriate for the Division to take on this new Youth Services Network program.
Implementation will occur in September initially at the atay MAAC Center, and will continue at the
new atay Recreation Center after its opening in late fall.
atay Recreation Center Supervisor Michelle Castagnola will be responsible for coordination of the
program. A 0.50 FTE Recreation Leader (part-time hourly) will be hired to conduct programs and
classes called for in the scope of work.
FISCAL IMPACT: Acceptance of these funds will provide $10,853 in FY 99/00 for services
provided from the Otay Recreation Center.

REVIEWED BY: City Manag~~ ~\ (415ths Vote: Yes _ No l)
In June 1999, the Library and Recreation Department commenced a nationwide recruitment for the

amount of the relocation allowance should the candidate choose to leave City employment within
six months of hire.

ITEM TITLE:
Resolution authorizing the issuance of Encroachment Permit
No. PE-458 for construction of a private potable water line within City's
parcel (APN 624-020-50), commonly known as Palm Road by Mr. Luis
Hernandez and Mrs. Maria Elena Hernandez.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public worn.
REVIEWED BY: CitYManag~~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ NoX)
Mr. Luis Hernandez and Mrs. Maria Elena Hernandez are proposing to install a private water line
within City owned parcel (APN 624-020-50), commonly known as Palm Road to serve their
property at 1610 Palm Road. According to Section 12.28 of the Municipal Code, this request must
be approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the subject resolution authorizing the City
Engineer to issue Encroachment Permit No. PE-458 and direct the City Clerk to record said
resolution and permit.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: No Board or Commission actions are
required in this case.
DISCUSSION:
There are no existing water utilities along Palm Road in the vicinity of Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez's
property at this time. The only feasible way to provide water service to the Hernandez' property is
to install a long private water lateral to the nearest point of connection to an existing water service
on Walnut Drive. The proposed water lateral, shown in Exhibit' A', will be approximately 1,100
feet in length extending from 1610 Palm Road to the easterly right-of-way of Walnut Drive, located
next to the asphalt pavement along the east side of the road. At this point, a connection will be
made to an existing water facility owned by the California-American Water Company. The private
one inch PVC water line with metal detector tape will be within the City owned parcel known as
Palm Road.
With the conditions placed on the encroachment permit, the placement of the water line will not
hamper City crews' access to any existing public facilities and will allow maintenance to take place
as usual.
The encroachment permit includes an indemnity clause holding the City, its agents and employees
harmless from damages resulting from the construction and maintenance of the private water line

period. Continual, uninterrupted membership with USA Dig Alert Services shall be
required as long as the private utility exists within the public right-of-way. Failure
to provide annual evidence of membership to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
will be grounds for revocation of this Encroachment Permit and removal of the
Encroachment.
2. Permittee shall take all necessary measures to mark out the private water line if and
when notified by USA Dig Alert Services.
3. Encroachment shall be installed and maintained in a safe and sanitary manner by

existing public facilities in the encroachment area. Any costs arising from changes
of or to any facility due to the Encroachment shall be the sole responsibility of

5. In the event that any future road construction, operation or maintenance ofthe City's

be performed by Permittee or by any other party with the consent of Permittee at the
cost of Permittee to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
6. In the event that the future construction, operation or maintenance of the Permittee's
facilities shall cause the rearrangement, repair or reconstruction of the City's

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: / J
Meeting Date: 10/5/99
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Revising the terms of a No Interest Loan
from the General Fund, in an Amount not to Exceed
$500,000, to the National Governing Body for USA Softball
Extending the Time of Repayment from 3-1/2 to 5 Years,
With Repayment Guaranteed by a Pledge from The
EastLake Company and ~h ames G. Boswell Foundation
SUBMITTED BY: City Manage1'\)r)'oyr
~ U ~ 15ths Vote: Yes _ No ..x..)
At its 6/29/99 meeting, the City Council approved a tentative agreement with the
National Governing Body (NGB) of USA Softball (USAS), subject.to final
agreement and conditions, for an interest free loan in an amount not to exceed
$500,000. The agreement required that the NGB/USA Softball repay the loan by
not later than January 2003. The loan was expected to be repaid through a grant
provided by the U.S. Olympic Committee and/or a special USA Softball fund
raising effort. Subsequently, it was learned that the USOC grant could not be
used to repay the loan. In response, The EastLake Company, through The
James G. Boswell Foundation, has committed to pledge $500,000 to the NGB to
be used to repay the loan over 5 years at $100,000 per year. This agenda
statement proposes modifications to the City loan to reflect these changed
circumstances.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1) Approve the amended terms of the agreement with the National Governing
Body for USA Softball in the amount not to exceed $500,000, and
2) Extend the payment schedule from 31/2 years to 5 years with debt service
secured by a pledge from The EastLake Company and The James G.
Boswell Foundation to the National Governing Body for USA Softball, with the
other terms and conditions of the agreement to remain essentially the same,
and
3) Authorize the Mayor to execute all necessary agreements in forms approved
by the City Attorney.
Background
The primary purpose of the original loan agreement approved by the City Council
was to provide gap financing to the NGB for the construction of Phase I of the
//- /
1
security guarantee by the USOC would be replaced if donations could be
secured for the debt service.
The entire project consists of two phases. Phase I includes a main playing field,
a practice field, batting and pitching cages, and an equipment storage unit.
Phase II consists of a 3000 seat Softball venue and much needed housing for the
athletes. The timely completion of this project is critical in order for the National
Team to have ample training time as it prepares to defend its Gold Medal at the
2000 Olympic Games in Sydney Australia.
The loan was expected to be repaid with funding from the US Olympic
Committee (the umbrella organization to the National Governing Body for
Softball). However, after completing its analysis of the proposal, the USOC
determined that the use of their funds for debt service payments by Softball's
National Governing Body was not an appropriate expenditure. As a result of that
ruling, the NGB requested that the City defer implementation of the agreement
until an alternative funding guarantee could be secured.
In recent weeks a tentative agreement was reached with The Eastlake Company
and The James G. Boswell Foundation to pledge the funds necessary to build
Phase I. The final agreement with Eastlake is still in progress, but is expected to
ofter a reliable source of funding dedicated to repay the City's advance of Phase
1 construction funding over a 5 year period. In addition, the City has been notified
that other potential funding sources have shown significant interest in funding
portions of Phase II of the project. This interest should only increase as the 2000
Olympic games draw nearer.
In the interim, the National Team has been using the fields at Chula Vista
Community Park for practice. Recently, they used the park fields from
September 7 - 18 for practice and games while preparing for the Bank of
America Olympic Cup held at UCSD. It should be noted that Eastlake High
School has control of these fields during the day, through a joint use agreement
with the City, and was extremely cooperative in accommodating the City and
team's schedule.
Even without the new facility in place, the City, local schools and the public have
begun to see the benefits from having Chula Vista be one of the main practice
sites for USA Softball. During their recent visit the Women's National Team:
. Held a press conference at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista
announcing the 2000 Olympic Team and gaining national press
coverage.
. Visited each high school in the City to talk to students regarding
staying in school, setting goals and the Olympics.
/1 " J-
2
. Conducted 4 exhibition games following the Olympic Cup activities,
which drew press coverage in San Diego and Los Angeles, and
approximately 400-500 spectators to each game.
City Benefits
As noted in the previous agenda statement, the development of a softball training
facility could bring economic benefits to the City. USA Softball has completed an
Economic Impact Report (see attachment to previous agenda statement) which
outlines the benefits of the proposed softball training facility with the completion
of Phases I and II. These benefits are estimated according to the travel
expenses that would accrue to City businesses as a result of participants
traveling to the City to participate in the scheduled events. The completion of
Phase I would enable USA Softball, in conjunction with the Training Center, to
host the Softball Festival and conduct elite camps for its developmental players
and the national team. The value of the economic benefit to the City for the
completion of Phase I is estimated to be $230,000, with the City beginning to
realize this benefit in the year 2000. The completion of Phase II would allow the
Center to host the Women's and/or Junior National Championships. The value of
the economic benefit to the City for Phase \I is estimated to exceed $500,000.
By providing this assistance to USA Softball, the City of Chula Vista will help
insure the continued enhancement of the world class training facilities available
at the ARCO Olympic Training Center. During periods when the facility is not in
use by USA Softball, The USOC has agreed to designate the City as the primary
outside user of the facility, allowing use by local teams and/or tournaments
through a scheduling arrangement with the Center management. In addition, the
City will enter into a partnership with USA Softball that has pledged its
commitment to make its athletes available for community outreach activities and
serve as positive role models to the City's youth. Through the development of
this partnership, USA Softball intends to integrate itself into the fabric of the
community for many years to come.
USA Softball Schedule
The Olympic Team has scheduled additional training camps in Chula Vista in
January, February, March and for July 11 - August 19 just prior to the Sydney
Olympics in September. During these camps we can anticipate additional
community outreach and practice games. And as a result of the positive
experience they had in Chula Vista, the NGB has announced that they will hold
tryouts for the Men's National Team in Chula Vista on January 6 - 9, 2000.
Bank of America Olympic Cup
As noted above, during their recent visit, the USA Women's National Softball
Team participated in the Bank of America Olympic Cup. Five events took place
J/r J
3
including Swimming, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing and Softball. The
USA Softball took the Gold Medal in Softball defeating Australia 5-0 in the Gold
Medal game. More than 5000 people attended the games during the 3-day
event. It is important to note that this event was conducted without major
advertising in Los Angeles or Mexico and very little advertising in San Diego.
Nonetheless, it is representative of the type of event that could come to Chula
Vista with the construction of the softball stadium at the Olympic Training Center.
Terms and Conditions of the Agreement
The City's loan agreement with USOC/USAS can be summarized as follows:
1. The maximum loan amount is $500,000. If Phase I construction costs
exceed this amount, USAS must fund the additional cost. If Phase I
construction costs less, the City's loan will be reduced dollar for dollar.
2. The loan funds will be distributed as costs are incurred. Invoices and
mechanics lien releases must be provided prior to any distribution.
3. The loan will be repaid without interest in five equal annual installments of
$100,000. If the loan is not fully repaid after 5 years USAS must
commence a focused fund raising effort to repay the loan by a repayment
target date of January 2010.
4. USAS agrees to exercise best efforts to raise funds to complete all phases
of the project. USAS shall (a) give the City priority access to the project
when not in use by USAS, (b) incorporate the City name in its promotion
of the project, and (c) make USAS athletes available to assist in promoting
City projects and youth programs.
5. USOC shall oversee construction of the Phase I facilities and cooperate
with USAS's fulfillment of its public access and promotional
responsibilities.
6. City will be insured and indemnified against risks caused by its
involvement with the project.
7. A condition precedent to the City making the loan is The EastLake
Company/The James G. Boswell Foundation entering into a pledge
agreement with USAS for the payment of $100,000 per year over 5 years.
This will fund USAS's repayment of the City loan. The form of this
agreement shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney.
These terms shall be incorporated into a formal loan agreement, promissory note
and related documents approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Conclusion
It is based on the opportunities outlined above, the positive outreach and
experience already achieved with the presence of the national team in our City
and the positive image Chula Vista gains from this activity that staff supports the
revised loan program with the NGB and USA Softball.
. ///1

Fiscal Impact
The terms of this agreement will require the amendment of the Fiscal Year 99-00
budget appropriating $500,000 from the unappropriated balance of the General
Fund Reserve. The no interest loan is expected to be repaid over 5 years at the
rate of $100,000 per year. The waiver on the interest charge will result in a
projected loss of revenue in the amount of approximately $82,500. This is the
amount the City would expect to earn on a $500,000 investment accruing interest
at the City's pooled investment rate over a 5 year period.

DISCUSSION
. ~~:-"~:.:;;'
Soon after his appointment, the City Manager Visited :the ArcoOlympic Training Center and
identified it as one of the tinderutilized economic resomces available 10 the City. The outcome of
that "Visit'~been' closer"workin'g ties between the Center and Citr staff, and a recognition that 'we
v.ill each gam more by working together rather than getting.1ost in.a lot "of "'red tape". As such, a
number of projects are -under way ::whicb will benefit both entities. These include completion of
Olympic Parkway, new funding sources for ,athlete housing at the training center, enhancement of
the Visitor~ s entrance to the Center, the development of an Olympic Park on the bayfront and
participation in joint public relations efforts, with other major City attractions, to attract new
visitors to Chula Vista
In addition to the above, staff has been assisting Ms. Milkovich and USA Softball National Teams
Director, Mr. Ralph Weekly., and the Executive Director of the Amatem Softball Association, Mr.
Ron Radagonda, with the processing of plans for a new 3000 seat softball facility to be located at
the Training 'Center. USA Softball will be taking .the place of USA Baseb~ which has taken
over a former professional facility at another venue.
Approximately two years ago, USA Softball began to come to the Training Center. Although
practices were held offsite, due mainly to .a commitment by the former National Teams Director,
the value of year-round training, the reduction of off site travel time and greater opportunities for
.."team building" were quickly realized. Plans were made, .and fundraising efforts began for the
development of a 3000 - seat ballpark at 1he 'Olympic Training Center. {Currently the team also
practices at the Hall of Fame Stadium in OklabomaCity. This site does not lend itself to year
round training .and is not easily accessible to many .softball players, most of whom come from
California).
SubsequeD.t1y~ the -City of Chula Vista was presented with a request to provide financial .assistance
to-1he Amateur'Softban Associati.on -of Amcricaand USA Softball for a .short-term loan that
would insure the timely-completion .of a softba1ltraining facility to be constructed at the ARea
Olympic Training Center (see \attacbment 1). The primary purpose of this loan would be to
mitigate 1he impact of a potential funding gap resulting from a lag in the completion of fund
raising activities and the need to begin project construction on its scheduled start date in order to
insure timely completion. The entire project consists of two phases. Phase I includes a main
playing field, a practice field, batting.and pitching cages, m.d an equipment storage unit. Phase II
consists of a 3000 seat Softball venue and much needed housing for the athletes. The timely
completion of this project is critical in order for the National Team to have ample trairiing time as
it prepares to defend its Gold Medal atthe 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.. Australia.
PROJECT VIA1HLITY
-:;..Progress has been made toward acquiring the necessary resomces for the completion of this
project, however, insufficient funds are available to begin Phase 1. To date, 'this project has
already received commi~ents from corporate sponsors such as Juggs who will fund the batting
~/j-r
Meeting Date: 6:!9'99
Page 3
and pitching cages, Musco who v:ill provide ballpark lighting, and Panasonic who will sponsor
camera and eleetronic equipment. The .value of these contributions is estimated to be $250,000.
BaSed on its early responses from other potential corporate sponsors, USA Softball is confidenr
that ftind raising efforts "ill be successful and that a state of the art softball venue will be
developed in Chu1a Vista. Tbe cost to construct Phases I and n of the proj ect are estimated to be
$0.75 and $5.2 millon Tespectively. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $5.95 million
withoUt "the COnstruction"ofhousing facilities.
Tbe National Team antiCipates "that regular practices at "the Center will begin in January 2000 and
last throughout the year prior to the Olympics. The National Team will train at the Center
exclusively for the final six weeks before leaving for the Olympics. In order for the facility to be
completed in a manner that is timely to the needs of the team, construction of Phase I must begin
not later than July 15, 1999. This will enable sufficient time for necessary construction and for
the grass to become established and ready for play.
TERMS OF THE LOAN
Staff is proposing a short term, no interest loan from the General Fund in an amount not to exceed
$500,000. The term is to be for a period of three and one half years, with the first payment to the
City due January 2001 and the final payment due by January 2003.
USA Softball is unable 10 fund the proposed facility 4'out of pocketn due to "the timing of
construction in relation to the Pan .American and Olympic Games. Specifically, during the year
2000, "the Olympic program incurs additional expenses for the training, housing and transportation
of athletes preparing for Olympic competition. FoUowing the Olympics, resources that were
previously used for these expenses will be available for the repayment .ofthe loan. USA Softball
receives yearly grant funding from the United States Olympic Committee to reimburse for
C>..-penses. The 1999 grant amount received from the (USOC) was approximately $575,000. This
grant amount is expected to grow as the U.S. Softball program gains success and popularity. Staff
bas been advised that these grant funds can be made available to make payments to cover
e>...-penses for training and housing pmposes, thus mitigating the City" s risk for granting the loan.
CITY BEl'I1}:FITS
"
...
The development of a softball training facility could bring economic benefits 10 the City. USA
Softball has completed an Economic Impact Report (see attachment 2) wIDch outlines the benefits
of the proposed softball training facility with the completion of Phases I and n. These benefits
are estimated according to the travel expenses that wou1d accrue to City businesses as a result of
participants travelling to the City to participate in the scheduled events. The completion of Phase
I would enable USA Softball, in conjunction with the Training Center., 10 bost "the Softball
Festival and conduct elite camps for its developmental players.and the national team. The value of
the economic benefit to the City"s economy for the completion of Phase I is estimated to be
$230,000, with the City beginning to realize this benefit in the year 2000. The completion of
Phase IT would allow the Center to bost the Women~s and/or Junior Nationa1 Championships in
addition to international competitions. The vaJue of the economic benefit to the City's economy
for Phase IT is estimated to exceed $500,000.

Citv of Chula Vista
:l76 Fourth Avenue
Chula Vi~ta, CA. 919]0
Dear Dave:
It was a pleasure meeting you at the San Diego lnternational Sports Council Board
Meeting held at the US Olympic Training Center on April 26'h. I appreciate the
commitment that the City of Chula Vista has made to the entire US Olympic
~Jovement and especially to USA Softball.
As you know.. 1 h.lVe been working with Sid Morris & Pat Milkovich on fundraising
for the proptlsed softball ballpark at the OTe. We have made substantial progress in
(lur initial fundraising efforts to c;late. USA softball has received commitments from
]u;gs to fund our batting and pitching cages, Musco has committed to provide
ballpark lighting and Panasonic will sponsor camera and electronic equipment for the
venue.
Based on early responses from various corporate and commercial sponsors, 1 have
every reason to believe that we will be successful in securing the necessary funding.
But, if the timing is off just a little, it could have dramatic effects on our training and
overall preparation for th e...200 0 Olympic Games in Australia.
The :WOO Games may be our stiffest Olympic competition to date. In order to insure
that we have adequate time to prepare and bring home another Gold Medal, we must
begin construction of Phase I by July 15'" to achieve field completion by January :l000.
It is my hope that the City of Chub Vista can provide USA Softball with "gap
financing," in .an amount not to exceed 5500,000.00 for the construction of Phase 1.
Reimbursement will be provided through further funding .efforts by USA Softball.
Phase I construction.consists of installing the main pla~g field,.a ,practice infield,
'batting and pitching cages and an eq~pment stora~ge unit. . .~ i' -

In addition to reimbursing the gap financing, USA Softball will commit to becoming
Chub Vista's partner in community outreach through personal appearances at local
5chools,'charlty events & hospitals. We believe that our female athletes will not only
become positive Tole models for the youth of Chula Vista but as our partnership
progresses, become integrated into the fabric of the community. Only good things
can corne of this!
In addition, with the completion of Phase II and the ballpark we will also commit to
placing Chula Vista logo in a prominent location which will be visible during
televised games.
I appreciate your consideration of USA Softballs request. If you have any questions
you can reach me at (405) 424-3430 or (405) 203-2171.

Chula Vista, CA 91910
Subject: Resolution Opposing the Relocation of a Dry Dock
Dear Mayor & City Council:
The agency staff's background comments to the subject resolution indicates that
Southbay Boat Yard and its development plans are inconsistent with the vision of the
development of the Chula Vista bayfront. With all due respect, it is our contention and belief that
a boatyard, especially one that services luxury yachts, is indeed consistent with a bayfront where
boating and boating related activities are a centerpiece. To exclude a boatyard and its
development to service the growing superyacht industry is shortsighted, and in the final analysis
not in the best interest of bays ide development. In fact a boatyard that is sensitive to the
environment and its surroundings, as is Southbay Boat Yard, is a natural fit to any bays ide
development with a true vision for the future.
Southbay Boat Yard's expansion plans are to target the superyacht industry. This industry
is a dynamic and growing industry, whose participants travel the world. Southbay Boat Yard's
plans, if allowed to proceed, would feature the City of Chula Vista as a superyacht center that
would be unequaled on the west coast.
It is our opinion that there is more than sufficient bayfront property to allow for public
access and a private boatyard as well, and to not simply coexist, but to be an integrated part of the
development. For these reasons and more, I would urge the City Couuncil to withhold passage of
the resolution and perform further study of Southbay Boat Yard's plans before discounting the
contribution that a boatyard that services globe circling luxury yachts would make to the bayfront
development.

. RE: ERC support of staff recommendation opposing expansion of marine
'industrial operations at the South Bay Boatyard.
Dear Mayor and 'Council:
Environmental Health 'Coalition (EHC) strongly supports the
Redevelopment Agency staff recommendation that the City adopt a resolution
opposing the proposed relocation of a dry dock or other expansion of activity
at the South Bay Boatyard. EHC would request that the City take an
additional step of requesting that a proh.ibition on future expansion of activity
at South Bay Boatyard be included in the Port Commission' s request to the
Coastal'Commission to remove marine industrial designation at C~llpbell
Shipyard.
BACKGROUND
ERC understands that the Port District will soon request that the
California Coastal Commission remove the existing marine industrial
designation for Campbell Shipyard. ERC urges the City to adopt the position
that this request should be granted only if it is coupled with a commitment
that marine industrial uses will not be expanded elsewhere, most notably, at
the South Bay Boatyard. If marine industrial tidelands are over-capacity,
there should be no need to expand this activity at South Bay Boatyard and the
Port sbould have no problem affIrming that as part of its action.
EHC fu~ raised this issue several years ago when the closure of
Campbell's was TITS! discussed. We were concerned that sucb a change in use
would only serve to push industrial uses further south, into .Chula Vista and
the sensitive South Bay. If such is not the intent, then the Port District should
support such an action that would change use at Campbell's and ensure that
tbe activity is removed and not just "moved" elsewhere. The future
disposition of the Campbell's dry dock is a perfect case in point. The dry
dock, and it resultant activities and pollution, should not be allowed to be
"moved" south from Campbell's to the South Bay Boatyard.
Pollution from drydocks and shipyard operations is legendary, or
rather, notorious. As you know, San Diego Bay has been found by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to be the second
m<?st toxic bay in the nation. Commercial and naval shipyards were
referenced in the study as the areas of highest concern. Adding a dry dock to
South Bay Boatyard will mean that the very polluting and hazardous
operations of sanding, blasting, and other ship building and repair operations
would now occur over the water, instead of on land where they currently
are located and more easily contained. Expansion of such activity in
sensitive South San Diego Bay is environmeDtally unacceptable.
The Port District has spent millions of public dollars promoting and
planning for development of a Chula Vista Bayfront that is healthy for
increased human use and protective of the important natural resources that
share the area. It has spent (and we would add, wen-spent) additional
millions protecting the valuable and sensitive natural resources in South San
Diego Bay. If the District were now to allow South Bay Boatyard to expand
into more polluting operations, such as the dry dock, this would be in direct
contrast to the considerable public investment in the area. Increased air and
bay pollution should not be part of the long-term plan for the Chula Vista
Bayfront
In conclusion, we urge the City to take the following actions:

"Re:" Support In Favor of Proposed Road Name Changes for Portions of Otay Valley
Road
Dear Ms. 'Anderson,
As an owner of property that will be directly effected by the above referenced issue, I would
like to make a matter of public record my support for the staff recommendation to adopt the
name change, Specifically, Item 5, Option 1, on the agenda of the Joint Meeting of the
Redevelopment Agency/City Council of the City of Chula Vista to be held on October 5,
1999.
Desert King has been in business in Chula Vista since May of 1986. I have just completed
the purchase of APN 644-040-46, an approximate one acre land parcel located on the North
side of Dtay Valley Road, west of Maxwell. " This parce/lies within-the area of the proposed
name change. I believe it is in the best interest in the development and expansion of
commerce in" this area to convey a more business directed environment. I would assert that
"Main Street" promotes a clearer connotation of the strength of our business community,
especially to those promoting business internationally.
Please do not hesitate to call on me if I can support this proposal in any way.

My name is George Cunradi. I live at 361 East J st., Chula Vista.
I own 4.85 acres that adjoin this property. I have been attempting
to build my new home on this property since March of 1997. I
should have been allowed to build my home 1 story above the street,
however, I would have to build it so the ridge of the roof would
be no more than 4' above the street. I would not need a grading
plan. I was told by the City it was to preserve the view. It
does not have a significant view. I could move the house that
I planned 50' west and the only view that would block my
neighbors' view would be 805 freeway, houses, condos, etc.,
across the freeway and bushes in my back yard and neighbors trees.
Chula Vista engineering wants me to remove and replace with concrete
359' of macadam sidewa~~. =~== and gucter, 250' is in very good
condition. I believ~ ~j~s t= ~e excessive and a waste of
natural resources.
....... ' ... - .
.....: ','l() 1_: _ c:. ;]. ~ SO
cost me a minimum of $2500 for
an improvement plan.
I ag:=-eed to
replace 140' of sidewalk, curb
and gutter, put in new screec lighc somewhere else in Chula Vista.
I have a street light across the street from my proposed driveway
already.
I paid $1000 at City Engineers counter to work on grading plan.
The woman said I sho~_~ ~a'. 31000 more. I believe that is an
illegal charge.
