Meeting Date: 10/10/2006
BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 2006, pursuant to Resolution No. 2006-2~2 and No. 2006-1953, the City
Council and Redevelopment Agency approved a Letter 'of IC1tent (LOI) between the City,
Redevelopment Agency, San Diego Unified Port District 'and Gaylord Entertainment.
The LOI provides, in broad terms, key principles that will be the basis for staff to
negotiate with Gaylord and with the Port agreements to implement participation in the
development of a conference center, resort hotel and other ancillary development on
the Chula Vista Bayfront. The motion to accept and adopt the LOI included the provision
that staff return to the Council and Redevelopment Agency with an amendment to
incorporate the following language:
"The Governmental Entities shall seek to continue efforts to promote job quality
and priority for the local workforce in hiring, to the extent allowed by law, and to
address impacts to the community, environmental resources and environmental
remediation to the extent allowed by law. Further, the Governmental Entities, in
coordination with each other, shall develop and publish a schedule for public
participation hearings for the ongoing involvement in the process of developing
and implementing the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan."
Pursuant to Council/Agency direction, staff has prepared the attached Addendum and
recommends incorporating this language into the LO!. The San Diego Unified Port
District has already taken action to incorporate identical language by addendum.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency Board Members and has found a conflict, in that Council/Agency Board Member
Castaneda has holdings within 500' of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the proposed Addendum.
