3. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT BUDGETS FOR THE CITY, AND THE OPERATING BUDGETS
FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2007
The Council has received and considered the City Manager's proposed operating and
capital improvement budgets for the City and the operating budgets for the
Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.
A work session was held on June 8, 2006 to consider and deliberate on the
recommendations contained in the proposed budgets. The budgets submitted at this time
for formal adoption represent the City Manager's initial proposed budgets for fiscal year
2007, amended to reflect various budget items that address issues identified at the budget
workshop and other miscellaneous clean up changes. (Budget and Analysis Director)
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.
Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing

PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
DRAFT
Director of Budget and Analysis Van Eenoo presented the proposed budget update and final
budget adjustments that included: staffing adjustments, general fund changes, other fund
adjustments, all funds expenditures, all funds revenues, and general fund reserves. Also included
were other issues such as cell phone and travel analyses, geographical distribution of capital
improvement projects, and fiscal policies (equipment replacement, fraud hotline, and reward
program).
Mayor/Chair Padilla requested and received confirmation that the total number of full-time
equivalent positions in the proposed budget update were essential positions that reflect public
safety and a Metropolitan Transit System position, that the proposed position reclassification to
Senior Assistant City Attorney would have no net fiscal impact on the City Attorney's budget,
and that the additional appropriation of $100,000 for the City Attorney's Department dealt with
litigation and ongoing court-related litigation matters. Director Van Eenoo responded
affirmatively. Mayor/Chair Padilla also requested confirmation that the General Fund reserve, if
taken collectively, was in excess of the eight percent policy. Director Van Eenoo, replied
affirmatively, adding that if combined, the restricted and un-restricted reserves were above eight
percent.
Council/Agency/Authority member McCann asked about the City's long-term strategy of
ensuring that the City does not fall below its reserves. Director Van Eenoo replied that following
the Finance Department's five-year projections, it would look at the City's existing expenditure
commitments and compare those to conservative revenue projections. Council!
Agency/Authority member McCann asked how long it would take to implement a cell phone
policy. Finance Director Kachadoorian replied that staff would return to the Council in
approximately three weeks. Council! Agency/Authority member McCann stated he was in favor
of deleting the Principal Legislative Analyst position in the proposed budget adjustments and
also spoke in favor of deleting the Principal Management Assistant/Council Liaison position.
Council! Agency/Authority member Castaneda spoke regarding a memorandum he submitted to
the Council on a number of policy decisions. Regarding Community Choice Aggregation, he
requested that staff bring back a report as soon as possible. With reference to department line-
item budgets, he asked what happened to unused funds. Director Van Eenoo replied that
departments could move funding from different line items in their budgets to keep in line with
their budget-to-actual totals. Council/Agency/Authority member Castaneda felt that there should
be a policy that departments would need to follow to move funds between their budget line
items. He asked what quality controls existed on budgets for departments. Director
Kachadoorian replied that departments could only move up to $15,000 between categories
without Council approval. Interim City Manager Thomson clarified that any unspent funds for
departments went into the General Fund reserves. Council! Agency/Authority member Castaneda
suggested consideration of refining department budgets in order to help supplement the fund for
the capital improvement project for street maintenance and repair. Director Kachadoorian
expressed concern about restricting departments to the line item level, because she had seen, as a
former auditor, departments start charging accounts that have money versus the actual line item
accounts. Regarding street maintenance and repairs, she asked Council/Agency/Authority
Page 3 - CounciVRDAlHA Minutes
June 20, 2006
DRAFT
PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
member Castaneda if it would be his proposal that anything above the eight percent policy be set
aside for street maintenance. Council/Agency/Authority member Castaneda replied that there
needed to be a policy discussion with the Council on how to speud discretionary money for street
repairs. He expressed the need to do more in terms of infrastructure. Interim City Manager
Thomson pointed out that staff is currently conducting a pavement management study with
results anticipated for October 2006, which would be a good time to address the issue.
Additionally, a major infrastructure issue is proposed for the November ballot that could provide
potential funding for cities. He suggested that further discussions on this matter could be
facilitated within the OctoberlNovember timeframe.
Council! Agency/Authority member Rindone commended the Office of Budget and Analysis and
Finance staff on an excellent and comprehensive budget document. He requested that staff
provide a report on the reserves of each of the 18 cities in the County within 60 days after
adoption of the budgets, and that the item be placed on a future agenda for discussion. He
complimented staff on a thorough report regarding a prior referral on the road condition on E
Street, stating that this referral was copasetic with the need for increased maintenance and repair
in the City. He then reported that he would abstain from voting on Items 3A and 3E because of
the proximity of his residence to the projects. He referred to a memorandum submitted by
Council! Agency/Housing Authority member Castaneda regarding constituent services and policy
review analysis enhancement, stating that he could not support Councilmember Castaneda's
recommendation to augment the Council budget by $15,000 for each Council Office, and he
believed that there was no necessity to provide fringe benefits for those particular positions. He
felt that all the other services in the Mayor's office meet the needs of Council and, when looking
at keeping a close eye on the City's reserves, he was hopeful that the Council would support his
position.
Council! Agency/Authority member Castaneda stated that he would abstain from voting on Item
3F. He then responded to Council/Agency/Authority member Rindone's comments relative to
Council staffing, explaining that the $57,000 reflected a number that has been available to
Council Offices for some time. He felt that it was important to have a full-time staff person to
provide responsive constituent services, expertise, and understanding of City/government
operations, and that while there was a need to be cognizant of taxpayers' money being spent, he
would expect any staff person working in his office to be top notch and to provide a high level of
service to the constituents. He believed that staff should be appropriately compensated for the
job they do.
Regarding the recommendation to add a Principal Management Assistant/Council Liaison
position, Council/Agency/Authority member Chavez suggested that the matter come back with
further details on the needs and benefits of such a position. She concurred with the
recommendation by Council! Agency/Housing Authority member Castaneda regarding Council
Aides, stating that if the City is not currently in a position to approve the recommendation, then
the matter should be brought back with a detailed analysis.

June 20, 2006
PUBLIC HEARING (Continued)
Council/Agency/Authority member McCann stated that the Council's most important
responsibility is fiscal and fiduciary. He spoke of the need to create a budget committee to stay
ahead of the game and the need to have a clear plan to find savings, avoid cutting services, re-
capitalize City reserves, and to meet Council priorities and City services. He stated that the
budget reserves are specifically itemized for replacement costs, that the City needs to look
further to ensure that it is looking at the spending plan and revenues, and not taking away from
planned maintenance in order to continuously re-capitalize the reserves. He felt that the Council
policy of eight percent should be targeted at potentially 10 % or higher for the reserves to deal
with shortfalls in revenues. He expressed the need to prioritize a policy for cell phone usage and
to seek ways to save funds and maintain a high level of production and efficiency for the
residents. He pointed out the idea of implementing a fraud line and working on policies for staff
travel, staff vehicle mileage reimbursement, debt, ethics, and cash management. He felt that
ultimately, implementing a plan now would avoid long-term pains in the future.
DRAFT
ChairlMayor Padilla made the following suggestions: 1) To incorporate a staff referral as part of
the budget adoption to bring back a resolution establishing a Council subcommittee to meet on
an ad-hoc basis through the next 120 days to the balance on the calendar year, with the Mayor
and Deputy Mayor as members; 2) A time frame for staff to come back in conjunction with the
City Manager's Office and the Director of Finance on the matter of potentially establishing an
auditing division in the Finance Department; 3) That the Council subcommittee take a cursory
look, working with the City Manager, Finance Director, and Budget Director, at a citywide
departmental review of the five-year fiscal projections, staffing, allocation and prioritization of
resources; 4) Policy issues that need to be vetted that look at the fiscal aspect of the pavement
management program, and an analysis on baseline or capital improvement budgeting that looks
at rehabilitation and repair on an ongoing basis that would not be heavily dependent on grant
funding or one-time revenues; and 5) The need for an examination of the Council staff budget
policy, blocking budgeting for each Councilmember and making them accountable for their
individual budgets, and bringing the information back to Council no later than the end of
November 2006. He then spoke in support of freezing or deleting the proposed Principal
Management Assistant/Council Liaison; deleting the Development Specialist in Community
Development; and in support of the Public Safety recommendations and enhancements as being
essential services.
Council/Agency/Authority member McCann stated that he would abstain from voting on Items
3B and 3E, as he owns property that falls within the proximity of the project areas.
It was the consensus of the Council to revise the proposed budget to remove the Principal
Management Assistant/Council Liaison position to come back at a future date for discussion.
Council/ Agency/Authority member Rindone stated that although he supports Item 3D, he did not
want to create a misperception, and clarified that adding $1.0 million from the Technology
Replacement Fund and $2.4 million from the Equipment Replacement Fund would not be
increasing the reserves by $3.4 million, but that it was only a different accounting method.
ChairlMayor Padilla clarified that there has been criticism in the press that the City is not doing
well financially and suggesting that the City is behind other communities because of that. He
stated that the reality is that the City's reserves are about 9.9 percent in total. He believed that
the Council wanted to have a commitment to a healthy, fully funded reserve that keeps the City
at or above its basic minimum as a way to assure the citizens that the Council is acting in a
responsible way. Council! Agency/Authority member McCann responded to the comment by
Council/Agency/Authority member Rindone that he had not made any statements that created
new money, and he clarified the restricted versus un-restricted reserves.

3. CONSIDERATION OF EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT AND
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR AN AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE MERGED REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation is interested in developing an
affordable, family rental project on the former Tower Lodge Motel site located at 1151
Broadway. Currently vacant, the former Tower Lodge Motel represents an opportunity to
remove an existing blighted property and the provision of new housing opportunities for
predominately very low-income households. In order to determine the feasibility of this
project, staff is proposing financial assistance in the form of a predevelopment loan. The
Agency is requested to consider a Predevelopment Loan Agreement for $200,000.
Staff Recommendation: The CVRC adopt the following resolutions (3.a.) and (3.b.):
a. RESOLUTION OF THE CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT

Assistant Community Development Director Hix provided an overview of the staff report noting
that on March 9th, the Board heard the staff report on the roles and responsibilities of the CVRC.
The presentation on Items 4 and 5 will continue to build on the prior discussion, and staff will be
presenting the last two segments on how the CVRC will operate. The discussion on Item 4 will
cover the procedural framework for CVRC project review, including several concepts, such as
the early involvement by the Board in project design and review, as well as when public review
should occur in the design process. The discussion on Item 5 will cover the public participation
process and how public participation will occur.
Redevelopment Manager Crockett provided the staff report on Item 4, the proposed procedural
framework for project review as outlined in the process flowchart, and responded to questions of
the Board. Mr. Crockett clarified what an application consisted of, the limiting of upfront
investment for developers prior to public input being received, the role of the Urban Core
Specific Plan in the process, how environmental issues will be handled including California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, and how the CVRC has taken the role and
responsibility of the Resource Conservation Commission.
Assistant Community Development Director Hix provided an overview of the staff report on
Item 5, noting that the City Council and Redevelopment Agency adopted 3 principles of public
participation in May of 2005, being: early and often; open, inclusive, and accessible; and
educational and informative. The reports being discussed, were released early allowing for input
to be received from additional groups such as the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA)
developers, members of the community including Crossroads II, and the Northwest Civic
Association, as well as individuals and staff.
Several stakeholder letters, proposals, and meeting notes were received and copies had been
provided to the Board. The proposals being reviewed evolved from the original report and were
updated to include input received over the last several weeks.

ACTION ITEMS (continued)
The alternatives for the public process ar:~to:tI,~~.t9-~,CVRC as it exists, or the formation of a
Redevelopment Agency Advisory Committee' 'orRAC. The public participation framework,
regardless of the alternative selected, that needs to be implemented includes early public input
and participation on project design, holding meetings in the affected community area whenever
appropriate and possible, and effective public noticing through e-mail, advertising, web site
usage, and streaming video. Advantages and disadvantages of each alternative were then
discussed.
In discussing these concepts with developers, they were clear that they wanted a public process
that was clear, inclusive and constructive, they wanted community input as they wanted the
community to support their projects, they were willing to work with the public to address their
concerns, and they wanted certainty that the process would move them forward in a predictable
way without endless loops of input and redesign. Additionally, they felt that members of a RAC
should have some level of expertise, or a strong interest and ability to understand design and
development concepts. Community group representatives provided different perspectives and
interests, as did staff and others who participated in the discussion. Some of the things staff
heard was the need to have existing community organizations represented on the RAC, while
others felt that geographically based representation was needed; the community organizations
should be resident based in Chula Vista and geographically focused on Chula Vista; the RAC
should elect their own Chair and Vice- Chair; the CYRC should allocate positions, but not
appoint people; people should be appointed by their groups to fill the seats designated on the
RAC; a majority or 2/3 of the RAC should be able to remove a member for inappropriate
behavior or cause as would the CYRC/CC/RDA; design professionals from City commissions
should meet certain technical qualifications, but this would not be a requirement of the
community or business members; consist of a off number of 9-15 with potentially alternates who
could discuss but not vote, and lastly, the RAC should include an equal number of design
professionals, business representatives and community groups.
Common themes were then presented that included: individuals should represent a group that has
an interest in redevelopment; the RAC should be split between technical, community, and
business organizations, RAC members should be qualified in some way, the process should be
clear and predictable, community organizations should be resident based and/or geographically
focused on Chula Vista, and the RAC should consist of an odd number of members ranging from
9 to 15.
Staff then provided the areas that require direction from the CYRC which were: the categories
(technical, community, business), number of representatives per category, qualification of
members, and the selection/appointment/election process for members.
Staff recommended the categories include technical, business and community organizations, with
3-5 members per category for a total of 9-15 members, and possibly alternates. Potential
desirable qualifications and representatives for each category were then presented, as was a
comparison between geographic areas and existing community organizations.

June 22, 2006
ACTION ITEMS (continued)
Consensus was received from the groups spoken to for a bottom-up approach, with the CVRC
selecting the groups that would make up the committee, and the group/organizations
independently electing/appointing their representatives, and the RAC electing its own Chair and
Vice Chair. Regarding the terms of office, staff will come back with a proposal for possibly 2-4
year staggered terms, as well as procedures and ground rules for the removal of a member.
Assistant Community Development Department Director Hix, then summarized staff s
recommendation on Item 4, for the CVRC to adopt the resolution approving the procedural
framework for CVRC review and consideration of development projects and applications; and on
Item 5, for the CVRC to adopt a resolution approving the public participation process that
establishes either the CVRC as the public participation vehicle or a Redevelopment Advisory
Committee. If the Redevelopment Advisory Committee is selected, the Board to provide
direction to staff on the RAC's composition, size and selection process, and direct them to bring
back draft rules and procedures as the earliest possible time for implementation.
Chairman Padilla requested the members note that on the dais, and part of the record, were
written communications from both the Northwest Civic Association to staff and the Board
containing an outline of their recommendations, as well as one from Crossroads II.
The following people then spoke to the items:
Georgette Gomez, representing the Environmental Health Coalition, spoke regarding the need to
ensure that the procedural framework does not override the stakeholder committee process, and
in support of the community workshop for non-ENA project proposals. Mayor Padilla
responded that the project review and public participation processes would not preempt any of
the existing Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) or other public stakeholder processes underway
that focus on the planning or draft plans underway.
Connie Mihos, homeowner in the Town Center area, stated that the public input appears to be for
design only and expressed concerns with the purpose of the facilities that are going in. She
further stated that she was a member of Northwest Civic Association and supported their
proposal. She then made inquiry as to whether the public input would be allowed for the purpose
or use of the ENA or just the design. Redevelopment Manager Crockett responded that the use is
allowed through the policy document, such as the Urban Core Specific Plan, and this discussion
is a framework for a projects design. Ms. Mihos then inquired as to whether existing uses of
tattoo parlors and a gym were allowable in the new plan. Planning Manager Ladiana responded
that the 24 Hour Fitness was allowable under existing zoning and the draft Urban Core Specific
Plan, and the tattoo parlor was under existing zoning.
Teresa Acerro spoke in support of the Northwest Civic Associations recommendation on the
RAC, and the early public forum. She then requested at least a one-week advance notice be
given and the documents be digitized and placed on the web or e-mailed to interested parties in
advance of the meeting. Chairman Padilla concurred with the exploration of the use of web
technology to provide a wider noticing area.

ACTION ITEMS (continued)
Glen Googins, Board Member of the Third A vequ~ . Village Association (T A V A), on behalf of
his Board, applauded the CYRC for their efforts to date, to devise a meaningful way for the
community to provide input into the CYRC's project development process. Mr. Googins stated
that T AVA had not taken a formal position or provided a competing proposal, however, they felt
they deserved serious consideration in the community review process, and suggested the
possibility of T A V A serving as the community and design review body for projects within their
jurisdiction. Another possible role T AVA is interested in would be membership within a body
with a larger geographical jurisdiction along the lines of one of staff's proposal.
Director Rindone inquired and Mr. Blakely responded that the 13-member T A V A Board was
fairly equally split with 50 percent business owners and 50 percent tenants.
Mr. Pembeaton spoke in support of the Crossroads proposal but expressed concerns for his
perception that there was no room for tweaking of the proposed plan, and that renters did not
appear to be represented nor did service people.
Pamela Bensoussan, representing the Northwest Civic Association Steering Committee
(NWCA), addressed points in the letter submitted by the NWCA (copy on file), several of which
were reflected in the staff report. Additionally, she stressed the importance of having a Resource
Conservation Commission representative, two Design Review Commission members and at least
one Planning Commission member on the RAC; three "business" individuals including one from
T A V A, one from the Main Street Business Association, and one from the Chamber of
Commerce; several residents who are elected by and represent various community groups such
as one member chosen by the Golden State Mobile Home Association to represent mobile home
park residents; two resident members selected by the Northwest Civic Association; two resident
members selected by Crossroads and one member from Crossroads to represent that
organization. Ms. Bensoussan then stated that the NWCA Steering committee had additional
recommendations that developers should first get feedback from the community, via the RAC,
prior to being granted ENA status from the CYRC; the RAC should hold a developers workshop
platform to present their projects to the public early to gather community feedback and then once
their project is well defined, the RAC should conduct a public hearing to make formal advisory
recommendation to the CYRC; the RAC should receive regular notice of all project applications
over 5,000 square feet or $10,000; the T AVA Design Committee should be informed early about
all projects in the Third Avenue Village District, regardless of size, and the RAC should function
much like the other Chula Vista advisory commissions, with City support staff, public noticing
of meeting agendas etc.
Pat Aguilar, representing Crossroads II, spoke to Item 4, the process flow chart, and expressed
the importance holding the first public forum at the pre-design/idea/concept phase for developers
where they would present their massing concept. She then spoke in support of staff's
recommendation on the establishment of an advisory committee and addressed points in the
proposal submitted by her organization (copy on file). The proposal included equal
representation between homeowners and the business community and was comprised of 13
members made up of 4 homeowners (must live in home), 2 from the northwest, 2 from the
Page 9 - CYRC/RDAlCC Minutes

ACTION ITEMS (continued)
Southwest; 4 business owners, 1 representing T A V A, 1 representing the Chamber of Commerce,
1 representing the Main Street Business Association and 1 from the Added Redevelopment
Areas; as well as 1 Planning Commissioner, 1 Resource Conservation Commissioner with an
interest in historic preservation, 1 member of the Design Review Committee, 1 member of
Crossroads II and 1 resident of a Chula Vista mobile home park. Further, Ms. Aguilar stated her
organization felt the process should be bottom-up with people being appointed by existing
community organizations, and the meetings should be held in the community. On the subject of
design review, although it is inter-related with public participation, RAC members should not be
required to meet any specific technical requirements, rather a separate design review committee,
independent of the RAC, appointed by the CVRC, should be created to judge whether projects
presented are consistent with design guidelines, to advise the CVRC when it is appropriate to
grant exceptions to the design guidelines, and thirdly, to adjudicate disputes on design
guidelines. Lastly, they supported the recommendation from TA V A in their request to review
anything on Third Avenue between E and G Street should be presented to their Design Review
Board in addition to the RAC.
Tony LoPresti representing the Environmental Health Coalition stated his organization felt a vote
on Item 5 would be premature in that inclusive community prospective is not legitimately
provided for. He noted there are 5 different project areas with very distinct characteristics being
lumped together, and the close to home experience that is an indispensable part of a community
review board is not guaranteed. Additionally, the structure does not bring together residents and
other community players who can focus more specific attention on each redevelopment area.
The RAC proposal, as presented, does not adequately ensure true community representation,
more geographic coverage, as well as an election process, are minimally necessary. To exclude
tenants in Western Chula Vista is not acceptable. Mr. LoPresti requested the CVRC continue the
item until a proposal is brought forth to better represent the actual communities to be impacted
and provide time for community organizations to address other issues. The proposals need to
improve on the specifics of the noticing procedure to provide for who will receive notices, when
they will receive notice and the language they will receive notice in. Also, a description of the
feedback loop needs to be put in place. Lastly, the public participation process to decide the
public participation process needs improvement, as the NWCA, Crossroads II, and the Chamber
of Commerce, are not sufficiently representative of the greater community. In closing, Mr.
LoPresti stated his organization would be submitting a letter within the next week addressing
their concerns, and again, requested a continuation of the item.
Sharon Floyd stated she supported the recommendation to continue this item as presented by Mr.
LoPresti, citing the need for additional time and community input. Additionally, she expressed
her view that although the NWCA proposal was great, but she would prefer to see one
representative from each group, and a broader base.
Tina Zenzola, Executive Director of Walk San Diego, acknowledged staff for their work, and
expressed her confusion in part due to the meeting changes, and her view that additional input
from residents in southwest Chula Vista was needed. Ms. Zenzola then expressed concerns with
noticing, the need for translation of meetings, holding of meetings in the community, the need to
explore different meeting formats - less formal. Additionally, regarding the requirement for
technical RAC membership, she suggested looking at the overlap between public health and land
use and decisions, and suggested consideration of the addition of people who have the overlap of
experience such as knowledge about walk able, livable communities, and would be submitting a
letter summarizing these concerns and suggestions.

ACTION ITEMS (continued)
John Sherritt, President of Ainslie Comm1+9-it~"es"rsp9ke in support of the formalization of the
public participation process"
David Krogh expressed support of the 3 part structure; keeping the membership small - going
with 3 representatives in each area with alternates; and the self-appointment process, but not as a
life tenure. He then encouraged the CYRC to make the groups work together to decide who
would represent them, and concurred with the need for representation from the Planning
Commission, the Design Review Commission, and the Resource Conservation Commission.
Director Rindone provided an overview of the alternate concept, which insures organizations and
community groups that they will always have representation.
Tanya Rovira-Osterwalder, Project Coordinator for Healthy Eating Active Communities
(HEAC), resident of Chula Vista and former resident of southwest Chula Vista, stated that
translation of the materials and different methods for community outreach are necessary for
successful participation.
Chairman Padilla thanked everyone for their testimony, participation and patience on Items 4 and
5. He then stated although he respected and appreciated the testimony from EHC, HEAC, and
others, he felt it was time to stop talking and move forward, as the dialogue has gone on for
nearly two years and a structure needed to be put in place that serves everyone. He spoke in
support of the establishment of a RAC and the need for the community focus to be the
centerpiece, not the technical side" He expressed support for the proposals put forth by the
NWCA and Crossroads II, with minor modifications. He stated the need for the RAC to be self-
governing, meaning whatever structure the CYRC comes up with, those organizations should
vote and elect their own delegate, and appoint them to the RAC to represent the viewpoints of
these organizations or interests and if they are not doing that, the organization should have the
authority to remove them. Given the fact that the streamlining of the process needs to be
balanced, representatives from the Planning Commission, Resource Conservation Commission
and Design Review Commission should have a place in the RAC, along with the standing, deep-
seated organizations that represent the business community such as T A V A for downtown Third
Avenue and the Chamber of Commerce for city-wide. He proposed a modification for the
southwest, to look to EHC or HEAC to serve in the capacity of representing them, to broaden the
involvement of the organizations, to bring them in and establish representation there. Chairman
Padilla expressed the need to avoid the turf wars, agreed that the early meeting should be an idea
meeting, and regarding the points made regarding cultural and language barriers need to be
looked at and include the use of technology to give people access to information.
Vice Chairman McCann thanked all present for their participation, and spoke in support of the
establishment of a RAC; regarding geographic vs groups he proposed a hybrid; expressed the
need for representation in the southwest; the need to make sure that there is room for at least one
at large member, and the need for alternates.

June 22, 2006
ACTION ITEMS (continued)
Director Castaneda stated the Board viewed active partIcIpation as an enhancement to the
process and that it was very important to have meaningful participation from the people affected
most by the developments, those who live in and around the redevelopment areas. He stated that
the RAC should be viewed as an insurance policy by investors and developers, as the submittal
will start with the idea phase and dialogue with the community. Additionally, he stated that
residents needed to be included in the process whether they rented or owned, a mobile home park
resident needs to be included and should be one located in or near a redevelopment area, and
lastly, he concurred with Chairman Padilla, that it was time to move forward.
Director Desrochers concurred with his colleagues' comments and stated that he felt since those
most effected were the residents, and would therefore like to have more residents involved. He
suggested 11 but no more than 13 members be considered, for example, 3 homeowners, 2
residential tenants, 1 T A V A representative, 1 Chamber of Commerce representative, 2 business
property owner representatives and 2 business tenants. Additionally, he stated he supported
alternates, and did not see a need for the technical people on the committee.
Director Chavez spoke regarding noticing and suggested going out into the community with a
teaser to get them interested, such as putting up photo boards of what the vision is, followed up
with discussion. Additionally, she expressed concerns with members of the community being
underrepresented, such as renters and people in need of affordable housing. She stated that there
were organizations in the southwest such as NCI, HEAC, Chula Vista Collaborative and others.
Ms. C~avez then expressed support for Director Desrochers suggestions, as well as the need for
inclusion of a mobile home park representative.
Director Lewis addressed his involvement with the Citizens Action Committee working on the
Bayfront project, and the need for the composition of the RAC to take into consideration the
varying points of view and interest and remove the emotions. The process cannot be
overburdened to the point that a developer will pack up and leave. A concern is the coordination
between the RAC and the CVRC and how it is brought together to move forward in a timely,
economical manner.
Vice Chairman McCann left the Council Chambers at 8: 18 p.m. and did not return.
Director Rooney agreed that it was time to move forward, and the establishment of the public
participation process is a great first step. He expressed the importance to have a diverse group
from the community as well as technical peoples such as representatives from the Planning
Commission, Design Review Commission and Resource Conservation Commission. Regarding
geographic vs. organizations, organizations made more sense to him and he suggested a hybrid
selection system where the civic organizations submit a representative they would like to be
considered and the CVRC would select from that group. He agreed with the RAC approach as it
widens the opportunity for public involvement, the initial meeting should be early on and held as
a preliminary meeting without a lot of presentation materials, and suggested the submittal
requirements be specified to assist developers. Further, Director Rooney concurred with the
need for alternates and the process for feedback with a reporting system that provides a written
understanding of their decision and any recommendations, tenants should be included, a well
defined noticing procedure and feedback loop be established and a reporting process.

ACTION ITEMS (continued)
Director Rindone stated there appeared to:beCQnsensus on the forming of a RAC, and provided a
brief overview of how the idea of the creation of a CYRC began. He then added that there were
3 very unique, major concepts involved in the forming of the CYRC, starting with having the
Council as part of the process on the front end, as they are elected at large and are responsible to
the entire community; having professionals on board as part of the voting membership; and the
streamlining process. He stated that the technical members and staff provide the technical
expertise needed, as do a lot of the community members; disagreed with the need for individual
members as he felt the community organizations added an additional benefit; and encouraged
renters and mobile home park residents to get involved with one of the current business and
community organizations.
Director Paul spoke in support of the establishment of a RAC and confirmed the ability to revisit
the composition in the future.
ACTION:
Chairman Padilla offered the resolution agendized as 5.a., to adopt a public
participation policy establishing a community-wide redevelopment advisory
committee to gather public input and make recommendations, with additional
direction based on the testimony and discussion tonight. Staff to come back with
a specific structure of recommendations for a RAC with a membership of between
9 and no more than 13 members, and recommendations on a potential alternate
structure either by organization or member-to-member that would consider the
following: the representation from a group and geographic standpoint of all the
keynote business groups to include Chamber, to include T A V A, the key impacted
community groups to include Crossroads, to include Northwest Civic Association,
to include perhaps HEAC and EHe. That the structure staff recommends
specifically provide a blended balance between individuals who are resident
owners and resident tenants, who are tenant business owners and owner operators,
geographic balance, and to include all the aforementioned organizations. That the
structure staff comes back with in the recommendation is self-governing, that
each group appoints its own delegate and have the power to remove that delegate,
and to bring back some specificity. That would be the general guidelines that he
would suggest - staff to bring back the specifics - seats 1 thru 9, 1 thru 13 here is
how they are broken down. His personal recommendation would be that staff
look at the Northwest Civic Association's recommendations. He believes their
recommendation has essentially the same outline. Because he pointed out, as did
Mr. Rindone, that when you are talking about having somebody from
mobilehome parks, somebody from T A V A, somebody from Crossroads,
somebody from Northwest, those people can all be business owners, and/or
tenants, they can be property owners and renters and so within those designations
you can also meet that other balancing criteria so they are not mutually exclusive,
it doesn't mean you have to extend the number of people to 25. So within that
structure, if you look at their outline, it is well thought out. The only modification
he would personally suggest was that, with respect to representation from the
Page 13 - CYRC/RDNCC Minutes
http://www . chulavistaca. gov
June 22, 2006
ACTION ITEMS (continued)
southwest area, which is going to include a lot of expanded redevelopment areas
before there is a civic association for southwest in existence, maybe consider
instead of having Crossroads have their two other reps or one other rep also
represent southwest, that HEAC or EHC be brought in and have them serve in the
interim in that capacity as a nominating authority. He stated that would be his
only other thought, and that staff has been given a general framework here as to
the details that have pretty much been provided based on what has been submitted
in writing and also in all of the testimony. Stating again, a group of between 9
and 13 with alternates, self appointing that blends all these criteria between
background, residency, ownership, as a renter, and whether they have been
represented by all of these organization and of course to include a delegate from
each of the primary City Boards and Commissions - that would be Planning,
RCC, and Design Review. In conclusion, he stated staff should modify
Northwest and would be pretty much 99% there, as long as they balanced the
other considerations.
Director Rindone stated he would also add to that general direction, such things as
there will an annual meeting for the selection whether it's the Planning
Commission, Northwest Civic Association or HEAC every year on a certain date
there would an annual selection of the delegate and alternate. Some the
organizations initial delegate would be for 2 years the others for 4 years so they
are alternating creating an opportunity for new people, but not changing all the
time. Also, through e-mails, dialogue or phone calls, as this is being restructured,
and encourage additional input be looked at during the next meeting.
Chairman Padilla added that he would also direct staff to put together a model
based on the input received here, and as far as the different organizations,
Chamber, T A V A, Crossroads, NW, EHC, HEAC, contact a representative from
each of those groups once staffhas a detailed model, and dialogue with them prior
to bringing it back so that we maximize the potential that we have a broad
consensus from the community coming forward together in agreement on a
proposed process that reflects everybody's pretty consistent testimony, and the
comments from the Board.
Director Rindone seconded the motion.
Chairman Padilla then noted that Director Castaneda had reminded him of the
resolution on Item 4, and Chairman Padilla amended his motion and offered the
Resolution for Item 4, and the Resolution for Item 5.a. headings read, texts
waived. Director Rindone accepted the amended motion.
Director Chavez noted that there was a large list of community organizations and community
members and that staff probably had their addresses and the leaders or presidents addresses,
suggesting that was a start in making sure that they get the information in advance so they can
notify all of their members.

Director Lewis spoke regarding the proceduraL framework in Item 4, referring to the Northwest
Civic Associations comment regarding the placement of the ENA in the process, and inquired as
to whether that should be addressed at this time or later. Chairman Padilla offered that it would
be addressed in detail when the suggested framework is brought back.
The amended motion carried 8-0-1 with Vice Chairman McCann absent.
Director Rindone requested consensus that the goal was to bring this structure back on the July
13th meeting. Assistant Community Development Department Director Hix expressed concern
with committing to that date and being able to get the draft out to the affected community
groups. If staff is unable to bring it back at the July 13th meeting, it will be brought back the first
meeting in August.

Interim Chief Executive Officer Thomson reported that the executive search firm that was
retained to help with the selection process for the CYRC Chief Executive Officer, is completing
the initial review of the candidates, and at this point it is planned to bring information back to the
Board at the meeting of July 13th, for review of the candidates and their background and to
decide on the process for moving forward.
Redevelopment Manager Crockett made inquiry as to whether the Board wanted staff to start
scheduling the non-ENA projects that are being processed and are located throughout the
redevelopment project area. Consensus of the Board was that unless there was an emergency,
the first order of good faith with the community was to adopt and follow the public participation
process.
7. CHAIRMAN'S REPORTS
There were none.
8. DIRECTORS' COMMENTS
Director Desrochers inquired and Redevelopment Manager Crockett responded that the 24 Hour
Fitness representatives, along with Community Development staff and the Planning Manager,
attended a Joint T A V A design board as well as full board of directors meeting, where they
passed a resolution requesting a re-design of the project. Immediately following that, the parties
attended a Joint meeting of Crossroads II and Northwest Civic Association, where again, they
adopted primarily, the same resolution as adopted by the T A V A board. The applicant has agreed
to do a re-design and is working with those organizations to fetter out the details and it is planned
to come back to the CYRC at the July 13th meeting.

DIRECTORS' COMMENTS (continued)
Director Desrochers then inquired as to what had happened at the Tuesday night Council meeting
with regards to the CVRC board stipend, which he felt should have been brought up at the
corporation level as the action taken gave the appearance that the Independent Directors were not
part of the group as they were not included in the discussion. Chairman Padilla recognized
General Counsel Moore to explain the legal side, and the terms of flexibility that was built into
the resolution. He added that the action taken by the Council provided for staff to come back at
some future point if the Elected Directors decided to compensate the Independent Directors but
not themselves. General Counsel Moore stated that the resolution is in accordance with the
Bylaws right now, where the City Council has the ability to set the stipends. The stipends on
Tuesday night have been amended to be set at $0 for now, effective in August, providing notice
to everyone, including the CVRC members. There is a flexibility in that there was a direction to
staff to come back with a report to look at making a tiered system, so that there would be
compensation possibly for the CVRC Independent Directors or to eliminate the stipends all
together, so there is definitely time and room in the process for discussion.
ADJOURNMENT
At 9:05 p.m., ChairmanlMayor Padilla, adjourned the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation
to its next regularly scheduled meeting on July 13, 2006, at 6:00 p.m., the City Council to its
next regularly scheduled meeting on July 11,2006, at 6:00 p.m., and the Redevelopment Agency

account - the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). To compensate
redevelopment agencies for those "ERAF shifts," the State Legislature (through Senate

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING $25,000 TO THE SERVICES AND
SUPPLIES CATEGORY OF THE LOW/MOD HOUSING FUND TO
COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PLACING AN ARTICLE 34
MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 1, 2006 STATEWIDE GENERAL
ELECTION BALLOT
SUBMITTED BY: ACTING COMMUNITY DEVELOPME T DIRECTOR
REVIEWED BY: INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (/1
4/STHS VOTE: YES ~ NO D
BACKGROUND
On August 8, 2006, the City Council directed staff to place a ballot measure on the
November 7, 2006 statewide general election to address the provision of low income rental
housing under Article 34 of the State of California Constitution. Appropriations to cover the
costs associated with placing this measure on the ballot are necessary at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is
not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency adopt a resolution appropriating
$25,000 to the Services and Supplies category of the Low/Mod Housing Fund from
available fund balance of the Low/Mod Housing Fund to cover the costs associated with
placing this measure on the November 7, 2006 ballot.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On July 26, 2006, the Housing Advisory Committee voted unanimously to support
placing the Article 34 measure on the ballot.
DISCUSSION
Article 34 of the State of California Constitution, adopted in 1950, specifies the
circumstances under which public agencies have the authority for construction,
development, and acquisition. of affordable units for low income renters throughout the City
of Chula Vista. The City is nearing the limit of the 400 units previously.approved under
Article 34 by City of Chula Vista voters on April 11, 1978 and adopted by Ordinance No.
1897. On August 8, 2006, the Chu/a Vista City Council approved the proposed Article 34
ballot measure to be placed on the November 7, 2006 statewide general election ballot.
Appropriations to cover the costs associated with placing this measure on the ballot are
necessary at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of putting a measure on the ballot is approximately $25,000, as estimated by
the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters, and would be paid though available fund
balance from Low Moderate Housing Funds. This is an allowable administrative expense
for the Low Moderate Housing Fund necessary for the establishment of future affordable
housing units (Health and Safety Code 33334.3{e)). The November election is a
statewide general election, and therefore the costs for this ballot measure will be less
than if it were considered in a special election.
The approval or denial of this ballot measure has no direct fiscal cost to the City beyond
the cost of the actual election. The measure authorizes the City to participate in
additional affordable housing projects. Approval of funding for individual housing
projects will be considered by the City Council and/or Redevelopment Agency on a case-
by-case basis.

ELECTION BALLOT
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 34 of the California Constitution, a majority of the
qualified electors of the City must approve the potential development, construction, or
acquisition of affordable low income rental housing units if those units are assisted by a state
public body, either financially or by supplying all or part of the labor, or otherwise; and
WHEREAS, on August 8, 2006, at a joint meeting of the City Council and the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, the Council! Agency directed staff to place an
Article 34 ballot measure on the November 7, 2006 statewide general election; and
WHEREAS, the cost associated with placing this measure on the November 7, 2006
statewide general election ballot is approximately $25;000, which is available from Low
Moderate Housing Funds and is an allowable administrative expense for these Funds; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the
proposed project was adequately reviewed in the previously certified Final Environmental
Impact Report for the General Plan Update (FEIR 05-01). FEIR 05-01 analyzed the
development of a maximum General Plan residential buildout density within the City and the
maximum number of units that could be developed under the proposed ballot measure would not
exceed the maximum permitted in the General Plan. Therefore, pursuant to California Code of
Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15168(c)(2) no further environmental review or
documentation is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista that it appropriates the $25,000 to the Services and Supplies category of the Low
Moderate Housing Fund from available fund balance to cover the costs associated with placing
the proposed ballot measure on the November 7,2006 statewide general election ballot.

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department has been looking at new opportunities for the
development of affordable housing within the City's redevelopment project areas to meet
critical housing needs for the community and to advance the Redevelopment Agency's
goals. Currently vacant, the former Tower Lodge Motel, located at 1501 Broadway,
represents an opportunity to remove an existing blighted property and to provide new
housing opportunities for predominately very low-income households. Wakeland
Housing and Development Corporation (Wakeland) has been pre-qualified by staff for
the redevelopment of this 1.35 acre site into an affordable family rental project with 1, 2
and 3 bedroom units for households earning 30 to 60 percent of the area median
income (AMI).
In order to determine the feasibility of this project, Wakeland must complete a number of
reports, studies and analyses. On August 10, 2006, the CVRC approved an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement with Wakeland and recommended Financial Assistance for a
Predevelopment Loan for Wakeland to examine feasibility of an Affordable Rental
Housing Development within the Merged Redevelopment Area. A Predevelopment Loan
up to $200,000 is recommended at this time. Staff is, therefore, presenting for
consideration the attached Predevelopment Loan Agreement (Attachment A) for
$200,000 to cover those necessary soft costs related to the feasibility analysis.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is
not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency adopt resolutions:
1) Approving the appropriation of $200,000 to the Other Expenses category of the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund from the available fund balance for a
predevelopment loan to Wakeland for the development and operation of an
affordable rental housing project to be located at 1501 Broadway in the City of
Chula Vista; and
2) Approving and executing a Predevelopment Loan Agreement with Wakeland
Housing and Development Corporation and authorizing the Chairman of the
Redevelopment Agency to execute said Agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On May 24, 2006, the Housing Advisory Commission recommended that the
Redevelopment Agency provide financial assistance in the form of a $200,000
predevelopment loan and additional financing in an approximate amount of $5 million
for the development and operation of an affordable housing development.
On August 10, 2006, the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopted resolutions:
1) Approving and authorizing the Chair to execute an Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement with Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation for an
affordable rental project located within the Merged Redevelopment Project Area
of the City of Chula Vista, and
2) Approving a recommendation that the Redevelopment Agency appropriate up to
$200,000 of Redevelopment Set-Aside Funding for a predevelopment loan to
Wakeland, and execute any agreements necessary.
DISCUSSION
Affordable Housing Requirements in a Redevelopment Area
Redevelopment agencies playa vital role in the funding and production of affordable
housing. Within adopted project areas, redevelopment agencies receive a higher level of
3-2
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/22/06
property tax revenues that would normally be allocated to the state and other taxing
entities. In exchange, the state requires that 20 percent of all of these "tax increment"
revenues be set aside (Redevelopment Set-Aside) for the development of affordable
housing, and funds are to be expended in proportion to the needs of very low, low and
moderate income households. To ensure that these monies are in fact used for the
production of affordable housing, the state requires that 15 percent of all new residential
units built in an adopted project area be restricted to households of very low- and low-
and moderate incomes. Based upon these requirements, of critical importance is the
provision of housing opportunities specifically for very low-income households.
The Council's/Agency's leadership in proactively planning for affordable housing
opportunities in the redevelopment project areas is critical to meeting the Redevelopment
Agency's legal obligations. The timely production of affordable units is a priority because
of the nearing expiration dates of the various project areas.
Development Proposal
Wakeland is interested in developing approximately 40 units for an affordable, family
rental project on the former Tower Lodge Motel site located at 1501 Broadway within the
Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area. It is proposed that the project will serve
primarily large families (3 bedroom units) and. predominately extremely low and very
low-income households (30 to 50 percent of the AMI), meeting the City's critical housing
needs and the expenditure and production requirements of the Redevelopment Agency
for very low income housing. Based upon FY 2006 HUD Income limits, monthly rents
would average from approximately $449 to $610.
Site
The property located at 1501 Broadway, just north of Anita Street, currently has a closed
and blighted motel on the site. The motel has a long history of community complaints,
code violations and police calls for service. In 2004, Tower Lodge had the highest calls
for service per room ratio in the City according to the Chula Vista Police Department, six
times the median. Dating back to 1987, the motel has been issued numerous Notices of
Code Violations. On April 29, 2005, the Tower Lodge Motel was posted as a
substandard building, all tenants were ordered to vacate, and the owner secured the
building, which has remained vacant since that time.
The property has a General Plan designation of Mixed Use Residential (MUR) and is
within the South Broadway District. The zoning for the property is Thoroughfare
Commercial with a Precise Plan modifier (CTP) and is currently inconsistent with the
General Plan designation. To implement this designation, a rezone of the property will
be required to allow land uses compatible with the MUR designation (residential, retail
and office). A mix of compatible and complementary land uses are envisioned for the
3-3
PAGE 4, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/22/06
district, with the MUR designation contemplating a mix of land uses within one
development proposal/site. Development of anyone of these land uses separately could
still be in keeping with the General Plan vision and policies for the district. This approach
would constitute a "horizontal mixed use" and may be deemed acceptable in this area.
Through the application for rezoning of the property, the development proposal and the
desire to provide horizontal mixed use in this area would be evaluated for consistency
with the General Plan. A map of the proposed development site is included as
Attachment 2.
Financial Assistance
Financing and development of this project is proposed as a joint private-public
partnership. Wakeland is proposing the use of Low Income Housing Tax Credit financing
to support the majority ($7.1 million) of the estimated $13.8 million cost of constructing
the project.
At this time, staff is recommending the appropriation of a maximum of $200,000 in
Redevelopment Low/Moderate Income Housing Funds to fund the predevelopment costs
of the project. Predevelopment expenses are an eligible use of Redevelopment Set-Aside
funding, provided that the affordable units are actually constructed. The Predevelopment
Loan Agreement is attached as Attachment 1 for consideration by the Agency.
The Predevelopment Loan will be made on the following loan terms:
1. No interest shall accrue upon the loan.
2. The Predevelopment Loan shall be due and payable if Wakeland and the Agency are
not able to enter into a subsequent Development and Loan Agreement within the
Negotiating Period as set forth in the ENA. Should Wakeland execute such
agreement for the development of the site, repayment of the Predevelopment Loan
shall be set forth within this Agreement. The Predevelopment Loan repayment is
unsecured.
3. Loan proceeds shall be used to pay for actual and reasonable costs related to the
preparation of plans, studies, and reports for the project site.
As stipulated within the Agreement, Wakeland will be responsible for repayment of any
and all predevelopment funds expended in relation to the project in the event that the
affordable units are not constructed. If an affordable project is successfully completed,
the Agency may roll the predevelopment loan into any loan that may be provided by the
Agency.
Pending completion of due diligence, Wakeland is estimating a remaining financing gap
of $5.24 million. To close this gap, Wakeland has committed to deferring part of their
3-4

fee as developer of the project. Additionally, they are anticipating a request for direct
financial assistance of approximately $5,000,000 or $125,000 per unit from the
Redevelopment Agency to close this financing gap. The Redevelopment Agency will
consider this request at such time as a preliminary evaluation of the property and project
has been completed and financing costs have been more clearly identified.
Agency financial support will be essential to the successful completion of an affordable
project on this site. In recent years, land and construction costs have risen dramatically.
As an example, in September 2005, the City approved additional financing for the 40-
unit Seniors on Broadway development due to significant cost increases, amounting to a
total assistance level of approximately $90,000 per unit.
Affordable housing developments are not able to adapt to higher costs. These
developments are limited in their ability to generate income based upon the restricted
rents. In turn, this affects Wakeland's ability to qualify for additional financing and
absorb higher construction costs. With the proposed development targeting deeper
affordability levels of extremely low and very low income households, the project will not
be able to generate sufficient revenues to support the predevelopment and development
costs.
While the subsidy anticipated is high, this development provides the Agency with an
opportunity to commit and expend redevelopment funds on an affordable housing
development that is located in a redevelopment project area and which assists extremely
low and very low income. Both of these factors are noteworthy given the Agency's
requirement to provide 6 percent of the housing within Redevelopment Project Areas as
affordable to very low income households (California Health & Safety Code 9 33413)
and to expend its Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Set-aside funds in relation
to the community's need for very low income households and the population under the
age of 65 (California Health & Safety Code 9 33334.4).
~rticle }(}()(I"
Article XXXIV of the California Constitution (Article 34) requires that voter approval be
obtained before any "state public body" develops, constructs or acquires a "low rent
housing project". This project is applicable under Article XXXIV of the State Constitution.
Proposition C, passed on April 11, 1978, authorized the development, construction and
acquisition of 400 units of housing for persons of low-income in the City of Chula Vista.
Currently, there are 66 units remaining as authorized under Proposition C. The
restriction of the approximately 40 units will be counted towards this remaining
authorization.

Developer Qualification
The CVRC and Agency staff are interested in establishing partnerships with quality
developers who have a proven track record and understand Chula Vista's interests,
history, and vision for the future. Staff has pre-qualified Wakeland based on the
required qualification criteria of the CVRC and the suitability of their qualifications to the
respective development site, as summarized below. For a complete developer biography
and list of projects, please refer to Attachment 3.
Wakeland has significant experience in developing in-fill affordable housing in
redevelopment areas such as a 74-unit project ("Lillian Place") in the East Village and
("Town Square Row Homes") a 6-unit, for-sale project in downtown National City.
Wakeland is well qualified and has demonstrated their desire and commitment to partner
with the City and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation, to develop a project that
meets the City's affordable housing objectives and to work cooperatively with the public
in the design of the project.
CONCLUSION
As proposed, the development of affordable housing on the site will meet a critical
housing shortage of rental housing for extremely low and very low income households
and remove a currently blighting influence on the community. The Agency's participation
will fulfill its requirements to expend its funds and produce housing for very low-income
households. If predevelopment financing is approved, staff will begin working with the
development team to commence the predevelopment tasks, including the pre-design
public workshop.
If discussions, negotiations, and tasks under the ENA process are successful, the Agency
and Wakeland may consider entering into a Development Agreement or Owner
Participation Agreement (OPA) for construction of the approved development project.
Under a successful process, the overall timeframe for construction and completion of a
development project is between 18 to 36 months from execution of the Development
Agreement or OPA.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Agency S'oard Members and has found
no such holdings within 500'of the property which is the subject of this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Predevelopment Loan of $200,000 will be set aside from the available balance in
Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate-Income Housing Set-aside Fund and
appropriated in the Agency's Budget. Upon execution of a Development and Loan
Agreement, the predevelopment loan may be incorporated into this Loan. Should the
Agency not enter into a Development and Loan Agreement with Wakeland, the
predevelopment loan shall be immediately due and repaid. Any repayment of the loan
will be deposited into the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing
Set-aside fund for further use in providing affordable housing programs.
