Dear David,
Over the last several months my schedule has become very overloaded and for personal
reasons it is necessary for me to cut back. With regret, I hereby tender my resignation

the other members of the Library staff are exceptional professionals and you provide a
wonderful service to the residents of Chula Vista.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A DONATION OF A
FORD THINK VEHICLE FROM HIGHLAND PARTNERSHIP AND
MATERIALS AND LABOR FOR VEHICLE PAINTING FROM
CALIFORNIA AUTO BODY TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Ch;e! of Po,;,p~ F_'''''
. ;;;
City Manager ifl (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No X)
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
Highland Partnership recently donated a Ford Think electric vehicle to the Police
Department for use by the Patrol Division. The Police Department envisions using the
small electric vehicle at special event operations such as parades and fairs. California
Auto Body also donated the materials and labor to paint the Think vehicle in the
traditional black and white patrol vehicle scheme.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council accepts the donation of a Ford Think vehicle and materials and labor for
vehicle painting, to be placed into the vehicle fleet of the Police Department.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
Several months ago, representatives from Highland Partnership contacted the Police
Department to inquire if the department had a need for a small, electric vehicle such as
the Ford Think (see pictures on the following page). Staff researched the feasibility of
utilizing such a vehicle and determined that it would provide additional mobility for
officers during special events where space limitations would prohibit utilizing a regular
patrol vehicle. Events such as concerts at Coors Amphitheatre, July 4th festivities,
parades and other events would benefit by having a small electric vehicle to facilitate
the transport of personnel and equipment. Staff contacted Highland Partnership and
agreed to the donation.
The Ford Think is an electric vehicle which has a top speed of 25 miles an hour (MPH).
It is restricted for use on roads with speed limits of 35 MPH or lower. It has a range of
about 35 miles on fully charged batteries. Since it is powered completely by batteries,
there are no harmful emissions.
Highland Partnership took the additional steps to have the vehicle mechanically
serviced and inspected and had new tires installed prior to delivery. California Auto
Body has donated the materials and labor to paint the Think vehicle in traditional police
vehicle black and white colors.
4-1
T
I
Item No +
Meeting Date 10/24/2006
The Think Vehicle joins the department's other environmentally friendly vehicles such
as Segways, which are also powered by electricity, and continues the City's leadership
in environmentally friendly operations.
The vehicle will be on display outside of Council chambers on October 24th, 2006 prior
to the City Council meeting. I"
The estimated value of the Think vehicle is $6,500. The value of the materials and labor
for the paint job on the Think vehicle is $500.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it
is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of a Ford Think electric vehicle
into the Police Department's fleet. There is no impact to the General Fund as the
minimal maintenance and registration costs will be absorbed into the current Police
Department budget.

City Manager i (4/Sths Vote: Yes X No--.J
REVIEWED BY:
The irrigation system at Veterans Park is in need of additional water pressure in order to
maintain healthy landscape and turf throughout the park. Staff is recommending a minor
augmentation of the system through the use of an irrigation booster pump.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve the resolution establishing a new capital improvement project "Irrigation
Booster Pump at Veterans Park" (PR293) for provision of a fully functional irrigation
booster pump at Veterans Park located at 785 East Palomar and authorizing inter-project
transfers in the amount of $39,210 from eligible existing capital improvement projects.
2. Accept bids and award a contract for the "Irrigation Booster Pump at Veterans Park"
(PR293) project to Dreamscape Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $32,675.
BOARDS/COMMISSION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Veterans Park was the first of several large park and recreation facilities completed in the past
two years. The original system design included an irrigation booster pump, however, due to the
park's location at the end of a water line, and per Otay Water District's recommendation, an
irrigation booster pump was not installed. Staff has been diligently monitoring the water
pressure going to the facility. Due to the high demand on reclaimed water and multiple lines
within the park, the water pressure has been considerably low. This is threatening the
sustainability of the facilities' landscape and turf areas. To provide adequate water pressure and
maintain healthy landscape and turf at Veterans Park, staff is recommending amending the FY07
CIP Program by establishing a new capital improvement project "Irrigation Booster Pump at
Veterans Park" (PR293) for provision of a fully functional irrigation booster pump and
enclosure at Veterans Park located at 785 East Palomar and authorizing inter-project transfers in

There are sufficient funds in each existing project for completion. The irrigation booster pump
will benefit the park landscape areas and landscape immediately surrounding the Recreation
Facility thus a portion of this project is DIP eligible. It should be noted that water pressure
issues have been addressed in other new park facilities (i.e., Salt Creek, Montevalle, etc.).
Per the informal bidding process, staff invited several companies, for the purposes of securing
competitive prices, to subrnit proposals to provide a fully functional irrigation booster pump and
enclosure at Veterans Park. Staff received and opened bids on Monday, September 25, 2006.
Three Companies submitted bids to perform the work as follows (listed in order of base bid
amount):

San Marcos, CA 92069
Vaughn Irrigation Services, Inc. P.O. Box 460037 $55,305.00
Escondido, CA 92046
The low bid by Dreamscape Landscape, Inc. is within the estimated project range of $35,000 to
$40,000. Staff has reviewed the low bid, verified all references and confirmed Contractor's
License (715757) is clear and current. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Dreamscape
Landscape, Inc. of San Diego, California, in the amount of $32,675.

ITEM TITLE:
RESOLUTION NO. APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF
FUNDS FROM THE CORPORATION YARD COMPONENT OF THE
PUBLIC FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (PFDIF) TO THE

COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE OF A STORM DRAIN
COMPLIANCE INSPECTOR VEHICLE.
REVIEWED BY:
Director of Bu~and Analysis W
City Manager j!
(4/5ths Vote: Yes .x. No_)
SUBMITTED BY:
In November of 2002, Council appropriated monies from the Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee (PFDIF) fund for the purchase of a Storm Drain Compliance Inspector vehicle.
Funds were appropriated for this purpose and expended from the Program Administration
component. It is more appropriate to use the Corporation Yard component for this purpose.
This action will reimburse the Program Administration component of the PFDIF for this expense.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
Approve the Resolution transferring funds from the Corporation Yard component of the Public
Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) to the Program Administration component of the
PFDIF.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On November 19, 2002, the Council approved Resolution 2002-472, amending the budget of
the Public Works Department to add two Storm Drain Compliance Inspectors. The same action
also appropriated $20,600 from the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) fund for
the purchase of an inspection vehicle for this additional staff. Neither the Council Agenda
Statement, nor the Resolution, identified the specific PFDIF component the funds were to be
appropriated from. As a result, the appropriation was made from the Program Administration
component, and the subsequent vehicle purchase totaling $16,023 was debited from this
component.
The Storm Drain Compliance Inspector is located at the Corporation Yard, and any vehicle
purchased for this position should have been processed in the same manner as any other public
works vehicle purchase, with the Corporation Yard Relocation / Expansion component
expending the necessary funds. It is now necessary to transfer $16,023 from the Corporation
Yard Relocation / Expansion component of the PFDIF to reimburse the Program Administration
component.

This transfer is reflected in the "Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update"
fee structure, which will be the subject of a Public Hearing this evening.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the p~oposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not
result in a physical change in the environment; 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.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this resolution will authorize the transfer of $16,023 from the Corporation Yard
component of the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF), to the Program
Administration component of the PFDIF.
This transfer is reflected in the "Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update"

ITEM TITLE:
RESOLUTION NO. APPROVING THE CLOSURE OF
FOUR (4) COMPONENTS OF THE PUBLIC FACILITIES
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (PFDIF) AND TRANSFERRING FUNDS
THEREFOR.
REVIEWED BY:
Director of BUd7d Analysis W
City Manager ';t
(4/5ths Vote: Yes X No_)
SUBMITTED BY:
In August of 1989, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a series of 'supplemental' impact
fees, After a more comprehensive review of the City's capital needs over the next year, the
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) program was established in January of 1991,
via Ordinance 2432. The current PFDIF program includes four (4) support system components,
which are now recommended for closure.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
Approve the Resolution closing the Telecommunication Systems, Geographic Information
Systems, Computer Systems, and Records Management Systems components of the Public
Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) by:
. Transferring funds from the Civic Center component to eliminate the deficit balance
of the Geographic Information System component; and
. Transferring funds from the Civic Center component to eliminate the deficit balance
of the Computer Systems component; and
. Transferring funds from the Civic Center component to eliminate the deficit balance
of the Records Management System component; and
. Transferring $15,404 from the Telecommunication Systems component to the
Program Administration component; and
. Transferring the remaining fund balance of the Telecommunication Systems
component to the Civic Center component.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is mitigation of the
cumulative burden on public facilities placed by new development. The public facilities financed
by the PFDIF include the following eleven (11) components:
1. Civic Center Expansion
2. Police Facilities and Equipment
3. Corporation Yard Relocation

.
Of these components, the following four (4) program components are now recommended for
closure:
1. Geographic Imaging System (GIS)
2. Computer Systems
3. Telecommunication Systems
4. Records Management System
These components are not associated with the construction of large facilities, but are instead
responsible for the acquisition of various support systems. These systems have been acquired
and are currently in use by the City. As a result, this update recommends that no additional
projects be created, no additional fees be collected, and subsequently, that all four funds be
closed effective July 1, 2006.
This closure has no impact on development's overall PFDIF fee obligation. This action simply
recognizes that no additional projects will be required for these support system components.
Closure of these components simplifies fee calculation, fund accounting, annual reporting, and
other program administration activities.
These transfers are reflected in the "Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006
Update" fee structure, which will be the subject of a Public Hearing this evening.
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 because it will not
result in a physical change in the environment; 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 .
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict exists, in
that Council member Jerry Rindone has property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of
the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In order to finalize the closure of these four components, a number of transfers are necessary.
The required transfers are as follows:
7-2
I
I
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date:
l
1 0/24/06
. Transfer of $15,404 from the available balance of the Telecommunication Systems
component to the Program Administration component of the PFDIF.
. Transfer of funds from the available balance of the Telecommunication and Civic Center
components to eliminate the deficit balances of the Geographic Information Systems,
Computer Systems, and Records Management Systems components of the PFDIF.
The transfer of $15,404 from the Telecommunications Systetm component to the Program
Administration component will be offset by a transferred future debt service obligation,
associated with the City's Fiscal Accounting System. There is no net impact to the Program
Administration component as a result of these actions.
The final balance of each component to be eliminated will not be known until completion of the
City's annual financial audit. Effective July 1, 2006 these funds were closed to all transactions.
Following completion of the final audit, and identification of the final balances, the funds will be
closed per the above-described transfers.
These transfers are reflected in the "Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006
Update" fee calculations.
There is no General fund impact as a result of this action.

SUMMARY
Staff is submitting a Master License Agreement (MLA) renewal for the City Council's
review and consideration. The MLA renewal would extend the existing MLA between
the City and Sprint PCS Assets, L.L.C. (Sprint), for the installation of as many as 50
total wireless telephone facilities (WTF) on property owned or controlled by the City.
The proposed Amendment includes mutually beneficial and agreed upon terms
including but not limited to: Sprint's requests to formally incorporate Sprint's change in
name from Cox PCS Assets, L.L.C., accommodate two of Sprint's affiliates (Sprint PCS
Assets LLC & Nextel of California, Inc.) and extend the lease for five years with two
additional five-year options that are subject to the City's review and approval. The City
retains its preferred technical conditions and will receive a market annual lease
adjustment for current sites dating back to November 2004, and future sites.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the resolution approving an amendment to the Master License
Agreement with Sprint for the installation and operation of as many as 50 total WTF or
substantially similar facilities on property owned or controlled by the City for a period of
five years, subject to all necessary approvals, with an option to extend the agreement
for two additional five-year terms.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved Resolution 18601 on March 18, 1997, conceptually
approving the marketing of City properties for use by telecommunications companies.
On September 16, 1999, the City Council approved Master License Agreements (MLA)
8-1
.
PAGE 2, ITEM ~
MEETING DATE 10/24/06
with AT&T and Cox PCS, Assets, LLC, for installation and operation of as many as 50
wireless communication sites on property owned or controlled by the City. The City also
approved an MLA with Cingular for as many as 35 sites in November 2002, and Cricket
for as many as 35 sites in February 2006. In 1998, when the City began negotiations,
Council originally directed staff to negotiate rates that would provide wireless carriers an
incentive to come to Chula Vista. It was Council's desi~e at that time to see Chula Vista
commercial and residential consumers have the opportunity to be early adopters of the
technology and benefit from the competition of multiple carriers. Staff reached out to
the industry, held workshops and invited them to the City to structure "master"
agreements that would provide prompt entry at below-market rates. Five years later,
now that the technology is readily available and provides competitive options, Council
has asked staff to ensure that the City is receiving market rates for its sites.
Additionally, over a relatively short period of time, the technology has evolved from a
unique business tool, used by a few people, primarily in commercial areas, to a
common business and household convenience used almost everywhere. That has put
tremendous demand on sites in predominantly residential areas with few site options.
The increase in sites to cover the varied topography of a growing geographic area
increases exponentially by: 1) the limitations that each site can carry during peak
periods, 2) the increased intensity of bandwidth use for items such as video and internet
versus voice, 3) and the desire to accommodate more carriers with the expectation of
fostering greater consumer choice, competition for price and service quality. The public
demand for these services continues to grow and all of these issues place a greater
demand on sites, particularly in residential neighborhoods. Federal and state law does
not allow cities to deny permits for property the City does not own such as residential,
commercial or institutional property, based on health or aesthetics. The Council and
staff have worked on a Master License Agreement approach to reduce the pressure on
siting these facilities in less appropriate areas.
The Master License Agreements provide the City with an opportunity to work
cooperatively with the carriers to expedite their projects, provide adequate volume and
coverage needed to meet public demand, provide incentives to pursue sites that have
the least impact to residents and meet the aesthetic and safety goals of the community,
while capturing revenue that helps the City fund public services at no additional cost to
the ratepayer.
Staff has been working on a renewal agreement with Sprint to accommodate their
request for a change in name, to add affiliates and execute an extension. Sprint is an
existing mobile phone service provider that is seeking to expand and improve its
coverage in the region and accommodate affiliates' customer base and technologies.
Staff is recommending that the City execute the First Amendment to the existing
Agreement between the City and Cox PCS Assets L.L.C., (Sprint), (Attachment 1) which
outlines mutually beneficial terms.

MEETING DATE 10/24/06
DISCUSSION
MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT: The MLA allows Sprint to install as many as 50 total
WTF's on property owned and/or controlled by the City and to operate within the scope
of this Agreement for a period of five years. Sprint hOld approximately 7 sites installed
during the first term and approximately another seven that-are installed or are at various
stages of the plan review process since the end of the first term. The Agreement allows
for as many as two additional five-year terms, each with the written request of Sprint
and the subsequent written approval of the City Manager. Prior to the renewal of each
five-year term, the annual license fee is subject to renegotiation to ensure that the City
is receiving market value for its facilities. Sprint has completed that negotiation on what
staff considers to be mutually beneficial terms.
Sprint's annual license fees for the use of property owned or controlled by the City
varies based on the number of cabinets and antennae at each WTF site. The annual
fee for each WTF site that includes as many as 7 equipment cabinets and 12 antennas
would be adjusted as follows:
Sprint
Sprint has also agreed to make a 15% rate adjustment to bring rents in line with market
rates for comparable sites in the region. Additionally, Sprint has agreed to make the
increase applicable to all sites established after November 2004, effective upon
Council's execution of the Amendment. The 15% increase is reflected in the 2005 line
item increases. The other line items reflect the annual 3% increase.
In some instances, Sprint will require a site for antennas or cabinets only. The annual
license fee for those facilities will be less than a full site as identified in the table above.
Staff is also proposing to reduce these rates by as much as 40% with Sprint and other
8-3

contractors if they propose projects that under ground the cabinets and pedestals or
take other similar measures to reduce the impacts to land use. Council approved a
similar clause in an agreement established with two other wireless carriers; Cingular in
2002 and Cricket in 2006.
Sprint is required to comply with all local, state an(:l federal applicable laws. The
Schedule of Premises shall be administratively approved for each site and contain
specific conditions that must be satisfied and maintained in order to use the wireless
facility. The Schedule of Premises will be submitted to the Zoning Administrator and
circulated to all appropriate departments. Sprint shall continue to pay the appropriate full
staff costs for processing each submittal.
All of Sprint's construction, installation, maintenance and removal of the WTF facilities
will be at their sole responsibility and cost. If Sprint causes any damage to the public
right of way or City property, they are required to repair it promptly at their sole cost.
Sprint will not be allowed to activate their site until the City signs off on final
construction. The original MLA, the Schedule of Premises for each site and City
Municipal Code provide for a number of risk mitigation measures for the City including:
indemnity; insurance requirements; limitation on remedies available to Sprint in the
event of a City breach; and reservation of the City's emergency and police powers.
IMPACTS ON CITY PROPERTY: The installation will vary depending on the site Sprint
needs. As mentioned, all installations will be required to receive all applicable permits
and Sprint will work closely with Planning, General Services, Engineering, Conservation
& Environmental Services and a representative from the host department to assure that
they do not interfere with City operations or facility maintenance. The three primary
types of installations are building mounted, ground mounted and light standard mounts.
Building mounted installations generally involve mounting antennas on the facade or on
the roof of the building, in addition to accommodating equipment cabinets on the ground
or on the roof. Ground mounted applications involve construction of a "monopole" or
more stealth applications where the monopole is disguised within artificial palm or pine
trees, flagpoles or complimentary structures. In this case the cabinets are generally
mounted on a concrete slab adjacent to the antenna structure. The largest size cabinet
systems use an area of approximately 10 by 20 feet. Both applications will require
some trenching and cabling. The installations will require maintenance and
administration on a limited basis. All proposed facilities would be required to secure all
necessary land use, building and engineering permits. Staff will encourage Sprint to
take advantage of reductions in monthly site payments by undergrounding the cabinets
and other structures whenever possible.
FINANCIAL BENEFITS: Sprint will be compensating the City for use of each site by paying
an annual license fee to the City General Fund for each system installed. Sprint's
annual license fee for a typical site that includes both antennas and cabinets is
approximately $23,000. The MLA authorizes as many as 50 WTF facilities by Sprint.
The annual fee increases by 3% a year beginning January 2006, and is subject to
renegotiation prior to the renewal of each five-year term to ensure the City is receiving
market rate rent. Staff also works with Sprint and other carriers to implement basic
8-4
PAGE 5, ITEM cg
MEETING DATE 10/24/06
facility improvements at each site when the construction and demolition or site
programming warrant it. For example, it is common for WTF equipment shelters to
provide extra storage for Recreation, a pad for water fountains, vending machines or
other amenities not currently available in that part of the facility. It is also common for
light standards to be replaced or upgraded when antennae are added. These
improvements are typically in addition to the lease payments.
The MLA authorizes as many as 50 WTF facilities at a yearly rate of as much as
$23,069 per WTF site. If Sprint where to execute all the remaining full sites
(approximately 36) it would generate approximately $800,000 in additional revenue per
year and be subject to the annual 3% increase each January. Although it is difficult to
identify development trends in the rapidly changing telecommunications field, staff
projects at least 3-5 sites per year for the immediate future.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it
is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sprint will increase the annual fee paid the City for all sites developed since November
2004 by 15%. Staff believes that will ultimately be approximately 7-10 sites at the end
of this year. The one time 15% increase also applies to all future sites. The sites
established before November 2004 will continue to be subject to the 3% increase and
all new sites are subject to the 3% annual increase beginning January 2006.
Additionally, the City is reimbursed for staff time spent on review and approval of each
site application submitted for the planning process. There will be some staff time
associated with monitoring and ensuring compliance with the Agreement, which is
budgeted as part of the Conservation & Environmental Services Department annual
responsibility. The Finance Department also plays a key role in tracking and assisting
with the collection of annual wireless telephone revenues.

annual fee ("Annual Fee") per Licensed Premises during the initial term of this License as follows:
a. for PCS facilities that include up to seven (7) equipment cabinets and up to twelve
(12) antennas approximately 52 inches in height, in addition to necessary
transmission cables, electrical power, telephone service, and other necessary fixtures
for the period from the Commencement Date of this License through December 31,
2000, in the amount of$16,800 ($1400 per month); and/or
b. PCS facilities that include only up to seven (7) equipment cabinets, in addition to
necessary transmission cables, electrical power, telephone service, and other necessary

d. for each calendar year thereafter throughout the initial term, an amount equal to
103% of the Annual Fee for the immediately preceding calendar year.
2. The Annual Fee for the first License Renewal Term shall equal the then fair market rental
rate that a willing licensee would pay and a willing licensor would accept for the use of similar
installation locations for similar telecommunications equipment for the same five year period (the
"FMRR"). The FMRR shall be in the same amount for each of the Licensed Premises. If the City
and Cox PCS are unable to agree on the FMRR within 180 days prior to expiration or then Renewal
Term of the initial term of this License, then at the request of either party, both parties shall attempt
in good faith to appoint a single real estate appraiser with at least five years' experience in the area
in which the Licensed Premises are located to appraise and set the FMRR. If the parties are unable
to agree upon such an appraiser within 15 days after either party requests appointment, then either
party can apply to the Superior Court for San Diego County for the appointment of a neutral
appraiser, who shall certify that he or she has not acted in any capacity for either party within the

to the parties in writing his or her determination of the FMRR. During the investigation the
appraiser may in his or her sole discretion choose to meet with the parties and take testimony, and
may extend the time for determining the FMRR by not more than 15 days. The appraiser's
determination shaIl be final and non-appealable, a~sent fraud. If Cox PCS is dissatisfied with the
determination of FMRR, then Cox PCS shall have, aS,its sole and exclusive remedy, the right to
rescind its exercise of the option to renew and aIlow this License and the then-existing Schedules
to expire at the later of the end of the initial term of this License or 90 days after the appraiser issues
his or her report on determination of the FMRR (the "Delayed Expiration Date"). The Annual Fee
during the period, ifany, from and after expiration of the initial term of this License to the Delayed
Expiration Date shall be the FMRR, prorated for such time period. If the FMRR is not yet
determined by expiration of the initial term of this License, then Cox PCS shaIl pay the Annual Fee
at the immediately preceding year's rate pending such determination; and promptly after such
determination the parties shall adjust such payment as necessary to the Annual Fee rate as
determined by the appraiser, or, if Cox PCS elects to rescind its exercise of its right to renew, City
shall make a rebate as provided in Section IV.A.5 below. The parties shaIl share equally the costs
and fees ofthe appraiser.
3. The Annual Fee for each Licensed Premises shall commence on the Commencement Date

according to the adjustment provisions of Sections IV. A. I and 2 above. If the Commencement Date
occurs other than January I, and/or ifthe term of the schedule or final schedule Renewal Term ends
on a date other than December 31, the Annual Fee shall be prorated for the first and last partial
calendar years during the term of the schedule or final schedule Renewal Term, based on a 360 day
year and 12 months of30 days each. The Annual Fee shall be payable in advance on each January
I, except that any partial Annual Fee for the first partial calendar year during the term of the
Schedule shaIl be payable in advance on the Commencement Date of the subject Schedule.
4. If payment is not received by 45 days after January I, or the respective Commencement Date,
a late fee of 5% of the balance due will be assessed in addition, interest will accrue at a rate of 6%
per anum until paid.
5. If a Schedule is terminated prior to December 31 of any year for any reason other than Cox
PCS's default, City shall rebate to Cox PeS the unearned portion of the AnnuaJ Fee for the calendar
year in which termination occurs, provided that City may reduce any such rebate by (a) any
termination fee owing to City under Section II. K. 3.c. above and (b) those sums, if any, due from
Cox PCS under Section IIJ. above. City shaIl pay such rebate within 60 days after the effective
date of termination. Whenever Cox PeS is entitled to abatement of an Annual Fee under this License
or any Schedule, City shall credit the amount of such abatement against the next Annual Fees due
from Cox PCS; provided that if the amount of the abatement exceeds the total next Annual Fee (if
any) due for the Premises respecting which the abatement has arisen, City instead shaIl rebate to Cox

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.: ~
Meeting Date: 10/24/06
ITEM TITLE:
An Ordinance of the City of Chula Vista Amending the Municipal Code to
Add Section 5.42.020 requiring any p~rsqn practicing medicine to show a
valid State license or certificate as a requirement to obtain a business
license.
SUBMITTED BY:
Director of Planning and BUildin#-
Interim City Manager f (4/Sths Vote:
Yes ----110
~
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND: In January 2006, citizens contacted the Mayor's Office expressing their
concerns regarding a woman's clinic operating in the City of Chula Vista without a current
business license. The concern also involved the doctor that was allegedly running the clinic at the
time. It was reported that the doctor had had his medical license revoked and that he was
practicing without a valid medical license. Research revealed that the doctor reported was under
investigation by the State, but that his license was valid. The clinic was found to be open and in
operation without the required business license. During the City's investigation it was discovered
that there is no current requirement placed on an individual applying for a business license to
prove that they are currently licensed by the State.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council of the City of Chula Vista conduct the public
hearing and place the following ordinance on the first reading: Consideration to add an
Ordinance to the Chula Vista Municipal Code that will require physicians to show proof of valid
state license prior to issuance of a business license.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION: Currently there are 380 active business licenses for physicians within the City
of Chula Vista. Based on our current municipal code, none of those applicants were required to
provide proof of a valid State license prior to issuance of a City of Chula Vista Business License.
Section 145 of the California Business and Professions Code declares that persons operating
without a valid license within a profession that requires such a license is a threat to the health,
safety and welfare of the people of the State of California, that the law enforcement agencies of
the State should have sufficient, effective, and responsible means to enforce the licensing laws of
the State and that the criminal sanction for unlicensed activity should be swift, effective and
appropriate.
Business and Professions Code Section 16240 states, "Every person who practices, offers to
practice, or advertises any business, trade, profession, occupation, or calling, or who uses any

title, sign, initials, card or device to indicate the he or she is qualified to practice any business
trade, profession, occupation, or calling for which a license, registration, or certificate is required
by any law of this state, without holding a current and valid license, registration or certificate
prescribed by law is guilty of a misdemeanor."
Understanding that the State law enforcement agencies charged with the responsibility of
enforcing the requirements of the Business and Professions Code are strained and primarily
reactive it is incumbent upon the City of Chula Vista to take action to help secure the health,
safety and welfare of residents and visitors of the city.
Section 460 of the Business and Professions Code does not allow a local jurisdiction to regulate
or prohibit the activity of those persons lee:allv operating with a valid State license or certificate
but does allow the jurisdiction to require a separate business license tax for revenue purposes.
This proposed ordinance modification allows the City to deny issuance of a business license to
any physician if they fail to provide proof of a valid and appropriate State issued license or
certificate at the time of original application.
This ordinance will assist in identifying those persons attempting to operate outside of the law
and bring them to the attention of the appropriate State and local agencies for appropriate action.
When an application for a business license for a physician is received and the applicant is unable
to provide proof of a valid State license the business license representative will forward the
available information to the appropriate State Agency for their review and action.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS:
Not Applicable:
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
1 8704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMP ACT:
There should not be any significant financial impact to the City based on implementation of
these additional requirements into our existing business licensing process. Staff will rely on
access to the State web sites for ready access to information about the existence and status of
licenses issued by the State Agencies.

BACKGROUND
As required under California Government Code Article 10,6, the City of Chula Vista has
prepared a draft update of the Housing Element that covers the period of July 1, 2005
through June 30, 2010. The Housing Element is an important planning tool of the City that:
(a) analyzes the City's present and projected housing needs; (b) identifies potential constraints
and opportunities to meeting the City's housing needs; and (c) sets policy goals and objectives
for meeting the City's housing goals and needs during the 2005-2010 period.
The City Council previously reviewed the Draft Housing Element on May 9, 2006, and
authorized the circulation of the Draft Housing Element Update to the public and the
State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
required reviews. The City made the document available for review by the public for 30
days beginning June 16, 2006 through July 17, 2006. As a result of the comments
received from the public and HCD, the Draft Element was further revised as appropriate.
The final draft (Attachment 1) is on file in the Community Development Department and
was distributed to City Council under separate cover on October 17, 2006, to provide
adequate time for review.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution adopting Negative
Declaration (15-06-023) and the 2005-2010 Housing Element Update of the General
Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has revie~ed: the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has conducted an
Initial Study, 15-06-023, in accordance with CEQA. Based upon the results of the Initial
Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that there is no substantial
evidence, in light of the whole record before the City of Chula Vista, that the project may
have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the Environmental Review
Coordinator has prepared a Negative Declaration, 15-06-023 (Attachment 2).
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On August 21,2006, the Resource Conservation Commission (RCC) determined that the
Negative Declaration for the Housing Element Update was adequate and recommended
its adoption.
On September 13,2006, Planning Commission recommended the Housing Element and
Negative Declaration for adoption. They also conveyed significant interest in having the
City's Inclusionary Housing Policy reviewed and revised in the near future as a high
priority.
On October 11, 2006, the Housing Advisory Commission recommended approval of the
Housing Element.
DISCUSSION
The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and
suitable living environment for every Californian as the State's major housing goal.
Recognizing the important role of local planning and housing programs in the pursuit of
this goal, the Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a Housing
Element as part of the comprehensive General Plan.
Housina Element Reauirements
Pursuant to State Law, Chula Vista is required to prepare a Housing Element Update that
covers the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2010. The Housing Element includes
the following components:
. A review of the previous Element's goals, policies, programs, and
objectives to ascertain the effectiveness of each of these components, as
well as the overall effectiveness of the Housing Element;
11-2

developments;
. A statement of community goals,
relative to the maintenance,
development of housing; and,
quantified objectives and policies
preservotion, improvement and
. A policy program that provides a schedule of actions that the City
should undertake, or intends to undertake, in implementing the policy
set forth in the Housing Element Update.
State law requires that all cities and counties submit their Housing Elements to the State
Department of Housing and Community Development for a determination of substantial
compliance with State law. The Housing Element Update substantiolly complies with the
requirements of State Law, as summarized in Table 1 of the Element. A favorable
compliance letter from HCD is included as Attachment 3.

MEETING DATE: 10/24/06
KEY ISSUES
The City's rapid growth and escalating housing market have raised concerns from both
the Chula Vista community and City elected afficials. Mor'e specifically, two key hausing
issues were identified to be addressed in this Housing Element period:
(1) Given the shortfall and high cost of housing, the City must consider measures to
continue to preserve and expand affordable housing for both existing and future
very low, low and moderate income residents; and
(2) While revitalizing western Chula Vista will enliven and enhance the community
and provide for certain future housing needs, such efforts must be mindful of the
challenges and the impact of change on the existing rental housing stock and
residents.
The Policy and Implementation Plan of this Draft Housing Element Update (see
Part II of the Element) aims to provide the City and the residential development
community with policy and program tools that address these issues. The City's efforts will
be concentrated in preserving and enhancing single family housing and neighborhoods,
promoting balanced and diverse housing, and looking at City government's role and
processes to facilitate a mix of residential development types.
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
State Housing Element Law mandates that a jurisdiction must show that it has adequate
sites that will be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards
and with the required public services and facilities for a variety of housing types and
incomes. The projected need for housing used for this evaluation is defined as the City's
share of the region's housing needs for 2005-2010.
A Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) prepared by SANDAG in February 2005
for the period beginning January 1,2003 to June 30, 2010 (a 7 1f2 year period) identifies
Chula Vista's share of the region's housing needs as 17,224 new housing units. To
determine the regional housing needs for the 2005-2010 planning period, the needs are
adjusted by the actual number of units constructed from January 1, 2003 to June 30,
2005, a total of 5,916 housing units. Based upon this adjustment, Chula Vista's share of
the regional housing need for 2005-2010 is 11,307 housing units, with 58% allocated
for lower income households.
11-4
,

PAGE 5, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE:

10/24/06
As required by State Housing Law, the City must plan for its share of the region's new
housing needs in all four income categories by identifying an adequate supply of land
zoned at the appropriate density levels to accommodate,;each income category. The
RHNA goals do not represent a requirement for actual housing production, but rather
seek to ensure the City has, or plans to add, zoning and land capacity to accommodate
new housing growth.
To address the City's needs for very low and low income housing, Chula Vista must
demonstrate that it has an adequate supply of land for higher density housing (30 or
more dwelling units per acre). Although zoning land for higher density development
does not guarantee the construction of housing that is affordable to low and moderate
income families, without such higher density zoning, the opportunity to use subsidies and
implement affordable housing programs for such families would not exist. Appendix C
of the Housing Element Update provides detail showing that the City has adequate sites
to satisfy this requirement, and Appendix J provides additional information on infill
capacity.
GOALS AND POLICIES
The centerpiece of the Housing Element is the Policy and Implementation Plan (Part II of
the Element) with goals, policies, and implementing programs to address the identified
needs. In developing the goals, objectives, policies, and programs described in this Plan,
the City assessed its housing needs, evaluated the performance of existing programs,
and received input from the community through participation in housing workshops. In
substantial compliance with the requirements of State law, the City will be striving to
provide programs to meet the current and future housing needs of all income levels of
the community through the following goals:
Goall: A Maintained and Enhanced Housing Stock and Neighborhoods;
Goal 2: Housing Opportunities that Meet the City's Diverse Needs; and,
Goal 3: Maximized Funding and Implementation of Services Vital to Community Housing
Needs.
To realize these goals, the Policy and Implementation Plan (Part II of the Element) details
objectives, policies, and implementing programs according to three major policy focus
areas: l) Maintain and Enhance Housing and Residential Neighborhoods; 2) Balanced
and Diverse Housing Opportunities; and, 3) Government Role and Process. While the
plan covers a broad array of housing issues that are applicable Citywide, the emphasis
of the 2005-20 1 0 Policy and Implementation Plan is on actions enabling the City to
11-5

maintain and increase housing opportunities affordable to very low, low, and moderate
income households, particularly in the urbanized Northwest and Southwest Planning
Areas. The objectives, policies and programs are discussed. in Section 3.0 of Part II of the
.
Housing Element Update.
Public Participation Process
The Community Development Department solicited community input in preparing and
reviewing the City's Five-Year Housing Element Update. The City held numerous
workshops to obtain the views of citizens, developers, social service agencies, and other
interested persons on the City's housing needs and policies and programs to be
implemented to address these needs. The following outlines the public participation
process:
. City staff workshop (September 12, 2005)
. Stakeholders meetings (November 7, 2005 and April 18, 2006);
. Community workshops (November 14, 2005, June 27, 2006, and July 10, 2006
at the Northwest Civic Association monthly meeting);
. Housing Advisory Commission/Planning Commission Workshops (November 16,
2005 and April 19, 2006);
. Housing Advisory Commission Workshops (January 20, 2006, February 1, 2006,
and March 22, 2006, October 11, 2006);

. HCD review (May 26, 2006 through July 28, 2006); and
. Planning Commission Public Hearing (September 13, 2006)
Chanaes in Response to Comments
Throughout the public participation process the City received comments and suggestions
from concerned citizens, residential developers and advocates for affordable housing.
Attachment 4 provides the summary of consistent comments received by the public and
staff responses. Additionally, the draft was reviewed by HCD. HCD's letter of comment
and the City's responses are included as Attachment 5.
In general, HCD and the public were pleased with the analysis conducted and the
policies and programs presented. In response to public comments, some programs were
elevated to a higher priority level. In response to HCD's comments, additional narrative
or data was included to provide more detail and clarity. Some information that has been
added includes:

. Rent information for affordable units credited since 2003
. Additional narrative on Housing Stock Conditions
· Data on density for infill development (Appendix J) .
.
. Narrative on Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing
. Additional narrative on Government Constraints
Since the City Council previously reviewed the Draft Element on May 9, 2006, the
document has been revised, where appropriate, to respond to the comments received
from the public and HCD. As mentioned above, Attachment 4 and 5 summarize the
changes. The highlighted changes since the previous draft (redlined pages) have been
included in the draft Housing Element (Attachment 1), and were provided to the City
Council under separate cover on October 17th to provide additional time for review.
Work Proaram
The Policy and Implementation Plan (Part II of the Element) provides broad direction for
objectives, policies, and programs. There are a number of policies/programs that will be
considered over the planning period. City staff will immediately begin implementing the
policy direction given in the Housing Element through a Work Program, included as
Attachment 6. There are a number of complex policy/program actions that will take
significant public participation and analysis. Some of the biggest policy/program actions
called for in the Housing Element, and addressed in the Work Program, are:
1. Minimize the Impacts Associated with the Potential Displacement of Lower Income
Residents.
o Mobilehome Closure Ordinance: There is significant public concern over
adequate protections for mobilehome owners who may be required to
move due to property redevelopment and/or bankruptcy. Existing policies
and alternative regulatory tools will be looked at to better protect low
income residents.
(Scheduled to begin analysis/public participation immediately)
o Condominium Conversion Ordinance: Community concern has been
raised over adequate noticing and relocation assistance for lower income
renters. Also, the loss of rental housing stock can be a negative impact
within a specific geographic area. Staff will evaluate potential
amendments to address these concerns.
(Scheduled to begin analysis/public participation in mid 2007)
2. Encourage the Provision of a Wide Range of Housing.
o Inclusionary Housing Policy: The City's Inclusionary Housing Policy has
proven effective for the significant building that happened in the east.
Now that efforts will turn to revitalization of western Chula Vista, the
existing policy may not be appropriate. Staff will evaluate alternatives to

better reflect in-fill development and bring forward an Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance for considerotion. The Planning Commission conveyed
significant interest in having the CitY's ';Inclusionary Housing Policy
reconsidered in the near future as a high priority.
(Scheduled to begin analysis/public participation in early 2007)
o Zoning Code Update: In December 2005, the City's General Plan was
adopted by the City Council. That updated plan includes new higher
density residential land use designations throughout the City, including the
northwest and southwest portions of Chula Vista.
. The City put together a draft document called the Urban Core
Specific Plan (UCSP), which applies new zoning to neighborhoods
on the west side of Chula Vista.
(Scheduled to go to City Council for consideration in late 2006)
. A Southwest Specific Plan is being looked to for a comprehensive
analysis and plan for the future of the southwest area.
(Scheduled to begin analysis/public participation in mid 2007)
. To implement the General Plan, the City must also update the
zoning in areas outside the Specific Plan areas.
(Scheduled to begin analysis/public participation in mid 2007)
Staff's Work Program (Attachment 6) strategically addresses these, and other significant
policy issues. As depicted in the Work Program, staff will immediately begin on the
priority issues listed above, and has programmed work over the next few years on the
high priority items provided in the Housing Element. Tasks that do not have a timeline
are considered a 2nd Priority Level in the Housing Element as they rely on additional
resources, which may not be realized this planning period.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(0)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
Implementation of the policies and programs outlined within the Element may require
additional resources within the Community Development Department and Planning and
Building Department. As each of the policies and programs are developed and
implemented, staff will complete a more thorough analysis of staffing and resource needs
and the fiscal impact.

Proiect Background
State law requires a Housing Element as a mandatory component of a jurisdiction's
General plan, and requires that these elements be revised every 5 years. Periodic updates
of the Housing Element ensure that local policies and programs are responsive to
changing conditions and future housing needs. Housing Element Law requires the City
to analyze resources available and to quantify projected housing needs by income
category. The City must demonstrate that there is available land with the appropriate
densities to allow the development of affordable housing to occur, and that it has
programs in place or it will develop programs that will mitigate any regulatory measures
serving as a constraint to the development of affordable housing.
A. Proiect Description
Pursuant to State Law, the City of Chula Vista has prepared an update to the 1999-
2004 Housing Element. The draft 2005-2010 Housing Element addresses the needs
of all income levels. It contains an analysis and update of housing and population
data based on the most current conditions and sources of information. The
revisions incorporate current population and housing projections based upon
SANDAG's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) prepared in February
2005 for the period of January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2010, and the City's 2006
GMOC Growth Forecast. In accordance with State Housing Law, the draft 2005-
2010 Housing Element contains the following:
11-10

1. An assessment of housing needs in Chula Vista,
2. An assessment of actual and potential constraints to the provision
and maintenance of affordable housing,
3. An analysis of the City's accomplishinents during the 1999-2004
housing element cycle,
4. An evaluation of potential residential development based on the
current General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and
5. The formulation of goals and policies the City will implement to
address a number of important housing related issues.
The draft Housing Element calls for the continuation of existing policies and
programs to enable the City to meet future housing demands and its affordable
housing obligation during the 2005-2010 Housing Element cycle.
B. Public Comments
On Julv 21. 2006. a Notice of Initial Studv was circulated to interested parties.
and advertised in area newspapers. The public comment period ended on Julv 31.
2006. No comments were received in response to the Notice oflnitial Studv.
On August 4. 2006 a Notice of Availability of the Proposed Negative Declaration
for the proiect was advertised in area newspapers. posted in the County Clerk's
Office. sent to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR). and mailed to
interested parties. Pursuant to CEOA Guidelines Section 15073 (d) the draft ND
and Checklist were sent to OPR. Two comment letters were received from state
agencies regarding the document. One letter was from the Native American
Heritage Commission and dealt with potential impacts to archaeological
resources. The second letter was from the Public Utilities Commission and
addressed transit railwav issues. The issues raised in these letters have been
addressed in the Negative Declaration and attached checklist. as well as in the
attached response to comments (Exhibit "AU).
C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The 2005-2010 Housing Element consists of a detailed analysis of Chula Vista's
demographic, economic and housing characteristics, as well as a five year housing
strategy to address the housing needs of the community. The Housing Element
calls out goals, policies, and objectives relative to meeting the housing needs of the
community. The goals the Housing Element encourage the maintenance and
enhancement of housing and neighborhoods, the funding of housing related
services, as well as the support of housing opportunities that meet the City's
diverse housing needs.

IS-06-023
July 30, 2006
The 2005-2010 Housing Element does not propose any changes to land uses or
densities within Chula Vista, nor does it callout or approve any specific
development projects. Adoption of the Housing Element Update will not result in
any inconsistencies with the City of Chula Vista Zoning Ordinance. The Housing
Element is consistent with, and will be a part of, the rBcently adopted City of Chula
Vista GeneralPlan Update. The adoption of the 2005-2010 Housing Element will
not result in any physical changes to the environment. Future discretionary
governmental approval of site specific housing projects will require review in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and if
applicable the National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A).
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached
Environmental Checklist form) determined that the proposed project will not have
a significant environmental effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report will not be required. This Negative Declaration has been prepared in
accordance with Section 15070 of the State California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines.

Comments:
(a-d) The 2005-2010 Housing Element Update consists ofa detailed analysis ofChula Vista's demographic,
economic and housing characteristics, as well as a five year housing strategy to address the housing
needs of the community. The Housing Element calls out goals, policies, and objectives relative to
meeting the housing needs of the community. The goals the Housing Element encourage the
maintenance and enhancement of housing and neighborhoods,'the funding of housing related services,
as well as the support of housing opportunities that meet the City's diverse housing needs.
The 2005-2010 Housing Element Update would not result in any adverse aesthetic impacts since it
does not propose any changes to land uses or densities within Chula Vista, nor does it call out or
approve any specific development projects. The Housing Element is consistent with, and will be a part
of, the recently adopted City of Chula Vista General Plan Update. The adoption of the 2005-2010
Housing Element Update will not result in any physical changes to the environment. Future
discretionary governmental approval of site specific housing projects will require review in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and if applicable the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEP A).,

Comments:
(a) As previously discussed in Section IV, Biological Resources and Section V, Cultural Resources, the project is
the adoption of a revision to an existing element of the General Plan, and \vill not result in any physical changes
to the environment The action is adopting policies to encourage the development of moderate and low-income
housing. Specific development is not proposed at this time. Future discretionary approval on speciJic housing
projects will include compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEP A).
(b) The Housing Element represents a short-term (5 years) policy document that does not create or recommend
action programs tlmt would contain "Cumulative considerable" effects, but rather implements community
adopted goals and objectives. The Housing Element is one of the required General Plan elements of a
jurisdiction, and is the only element that is required by State law to be revised every five years. The primary
purpose of the Housing Element is to address the existing and projected housing needs of all econornic
segments of a community.
(c) No evidence has been provided in the Initial Study that shows that the adoption of the revised Housing
Element, which serves as a guide for communities to address their housing needs and is required by state law,
will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. No project specific plans
are proposed and thus no impacts as a result of a potential risk or accidental e;'{plosion or release of hazardous
substances have been identified at this time as stated in Sections IX Hazards and X Noise. Future discretionary
governmental approval of site-specific housing projects \vill require review in accordance \vith the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and if applicable the National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A)
including any city adopted Emergency Plan.
iYIitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required.

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the
environment, and a Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment,
and an Environmental Impact Report is required.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect: I) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis as descnoed on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impacts" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An Environmental
Impact Report is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier ElR pursuant to
applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project
An addendum has been prepared to provide a record of this determination.

Dear Ms. Hix:
RE: Review of Chula Vista's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Chula Vista's revised draft housing element, received for
review on September 5, 2006 along with additional revisions on October 3, 2006. As
you know, the Department is required to review draft housing elements and report the
findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). The
Department's review was facilitated by various conversations with Ms. Leilani Hines,
Senior Community Development Specialist, and your consultant, Mr. David Barquist.
The revised draft element addresses the statutory requirements described in the
Department's July 28, 2006 review. The element will be in compliance with
State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code) when this revised
draft is adopted and submitted to the Department, pursuant to Government Code
Section 65585(g).
The Department appreciates the City's efforts to develop meaningful housing and land-
use strategies and address its share of the regional housing need. The Department
particularly commends the City's efforts to promote higher density residential and mixed
uses in Western Chula Vista, including permitting multifamily uses by right, and
encouraging higher density housing on nonvacant sites through a variety of land-use
tools, resources and incentives.

The following comments were received by the City of Chula Vista and at these meetings
and have been addressed in the latest version of the Draft Housing Element as described
below.
Objective H1: Minimize blighting influences ilnd maintain the integrity of
residential neighborhoods. . :
COMMENTS:
· Use more positive language (i.e. decrease, delete and enhance, improve, etc.).
· Active verb.
RESPONSE:
o Objective HI has been revised to read:
Enforce maintenance of safe and decent housing, enhance quality of existing
housing, and maintain the integrity of residential neighborhoods.
Program 1.1.4: Funding for Housing Related Environmental Hazard Control
COMMENTS:
· Reducing housing related environmental hazards is important to the health of
citizens it should be assigned a priority level 1 instead of 2.
RESPONSE:
o This program has been revised to priority level 1.
Policy 1.1.3: Rental Housing Acquisition & Rehabilitation
COMMENTS:
· Housing Element very well states the great need for housing affordable to very
low and low income individuals and families. However Objectives and Policies
are not concrete enough to rectify the lack of housing. By requiring only 20
percent of rental housing acquired and rehabilitated, which is likely to already
be at lower market rents, to be set aside for very low income households the
deficit of affordable housing will increase.
RESPONSE:
o This policy is particularly focused on market rate rental housing that is already
in substandard or deteriorating condition or in danger of being demolished.
While this type of housing is generally at lower costs, rents are discounted
because of the physical conditions of the housing that may pose serious health
and safety risks to the occupants. These units are already at risk of loss based
upon the physical conditions or threat of demolition. Therefore it is the goal of
this policy to correct housing deficiencies and increase the useful Ide of existing
housing. Realizing that once rehabilitation is completed, rents may need to be
increased to support the new acquisition and rehabilitation work completed,

the policy also calls for a percentage of the units to be restricted for occupancy
and affordability to very-low income households.
Objective H2.1: Encourage the efficient use and conserwation of water by residents.
COMMENTS:
. Like code enforcement activities, water conservation and landscaping should be
assigned a priority level 1.
RESPONSE:
o This program has been revised to priority level 1.
Policy 2.2.1: Building Energy Efficiency Into Housing
COMMENTS:
. Developers need to be required to meet at least the same standards that the City
requires of its own facilities. Therefore language should be changed from
"encourage" to "require".
RESPONSE:
o By placing more requirements on development, the feasibility and the cost and
supply of multifamily housing may be impacted and serve as a constraint to
development. The City has tried to achieve a balance between a prescriptive
and incentive based approach to achieving its goals.
Policy 2.2.2: Public Education for Energy Conservation.
COMMENTS:
. This program should be assigned a priority level 1 instead of 2.
RESPONSE:
o This program has been revised to priority level 1.
Policy 2.2.4: Green Building
COMMENTS:
. The City should promote sustainable/green buildings by requiring compliance
with Architecture 2030 or LEED gold or platinum standards.
. This program should be assigned a priority level 1 instead of 2.
RESPONSE:
o By placing more requirements on development, the feasibility and the cost and
supply of multifamily housing may be impacted and serve as a constraint to

development. The City has tried to achieve a balance between a prescriptive
and incentive based approach to achieving its goals.
o This program has been revised to priority level. 7.
'.
Objective H3.1: Preserve publicly assisted rental housing "at-risk" of converting to
market rate rents.
COMMENTS:
· Giving the City/Agency first right of refusal to acquire those residential
developments "at-risk" of converting seems like a good idea. Why aren't the
restrictions forever instead of 10 or 20 years.
RESPONSE:
o The term of affordability restrictions are based upon requirements of the
particular funding/incentive program that may have been used to facilitate the
development of the housing. In past years, the standard affordability term was
2S years based upon State Law governing density bonus. Today, State Density
Bonus Law uses a standard of SS years for rental housing, as do other affordable
housing financing programs such as Low Income Housing Tax Credits and
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds. State HCD's position has been that
requirements that go beyond what is set forth in State Law can serve as a barrier
to the development of affordable housing. Additionally, the more requirements
that are placed on affordable housing can potentially jeopardize financing for
the development.
Policy 3.2.1: Monitoring of Units Lost
COMMENTS:
· Monitoring and mitigation of housing demolished and occupied by very low
and low-income households within the Coastal Zone and Redevelopment Areas
should be expanded to also include housing located within the Urban Core
Specific Plan.
· Require as a Growth Management Oversight Committee threshold.
RESPONSE:
o The intent of Policy 9.7.S-Annual Housing Report is to monitor and report
housing data, relative to housing starts, demolition and conversion of rental
housing, affordability levels, market trends, and existing housing.
Policy 3.2.2: Replacement Housing

o Replacement plan for housing lost and occupied by very low income and low-
income households should be expanded to include housing located within the
Urban Core Specific Plan.
o Replacement of housing should occur immediately and equally affordable.
.
RESPONSE:
Policy 4.1.1: Community Impact Report
COMMENTS:
o Implementation timeline is stated as being ongoing although it is proposed as a
new policy.
o Rather than "consider" the requirement of a Community Impact Report, Policy
4.1.1 should state that is "required" .
o Projects should be evaluated to determine the loss/impact on the availability of
housing stock and no net loss of housing should be realized.
RESPONSE:
D The timeline is incorrectly stated as ongoing and has been revised to reflect
work being started on this policy in 2007.
D The City does recognize that the loss of housing units, particularly
mobilehomes and rental housing, from demolition, closure and/or conversion,
will have an impact on the existing residents and the availability of certain
housing stock. However, the Housing Element serves as the broader policy
document. It is intended to have specific policies/programs comprehensively
addressed under separate work programs. Therefore, a more comprehensive
and thorough analysis of the intent/purpose of the Community Impact Report
(ClR), possible components of a ClR, and the impact of such a requirement on
the development process is anticipated to begin in 2007.
Policy 4.1.2: Mitigation Fee for lost Units
COMMENTS:
o Implementation of UCSP development regulations predicated on payment of a
mitigation fee for those units lost or households displaced as a result of the
demolition or replacement of existing housing.
o Paid at time of building permit issuance.
o Funds from mitigation fees should be used to provide relocation assistance to
displaced residents.
o No mitigation fee since it is recommended that there should not be any net loss
of housing for low-income housing (see Policy 4.1.1).

Program 4.2.2: Condominium Conversions
COMMENTS:
· Housing Element very well states the great need, for housing affordable to very
low and low income individuals and families. Hdwever Objectives and Policies
are not concrete enough to rectify the lack of housing. This policy should not
talk about evaluating changes to the Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 15.56
which regulates the conversion of rental housing to condominiums but should
actually put forth changes until such time there is an adequate supply of rental
units for families.
RESPONSE:
o The City does recognize that the conversion of existing rental housing to
condominiums for individual ownership urban areas of Western Chula Vista,
the policy may need to be revised to more appropriately reflect its application
to this type of development (see Policy 5.1.2). However, it is not the intent of
the Housing Element, which represents a broader policy document, to
comprehensively address the specific areas of change needed to the Balanced
Communities policy. It is intended that a more comprehensive and thorough
analysis of the issues and recommended revisions take place as a separate work
program and possibly through the adoption of an Ordinance (see Policy 5,1.3),
At that time, the City may consider such specific recommendations as lowering
the threshold of applicability and a change in the percentage of units required
as affordable for very low, low or moderate income households.
Program 4.2.3: Tenant Rental Assistance
COMMENTS:
· This program should be assigned a priority level 1 instead of 2 given the current
situation in Chula Vista.
RESPONSE:
o This program has been revised to priority level 1.
Program 4.2.4: Housing Resource Program

Objective 5.1: Balanced Communities - Affordable Housing Program (aka "Inclusionary
Housing")
COMMENTS:
. The policy is outdated given that more future de.velopment will likely occur as
smaller infill development in the west. The policy should be reconsidered in
how it is applied to the west side redevelopment. Therefore, it is recommended
that the unit threshold for applicability of the policy should be lowered to any
residential development or 20 units to better reflect potential future
development.
. Policy should not allow for alternative forms of compliance, such as an in-lieu
fee. Crossroads II believes in the distribution of housing throughout the
community. Therefore, this is best achieved by requiring each development to
build its share of affordable housing.
. In lieu fee could be used for very small developments and only in extreme cases
where units could not be produced for larger developments.
. Given the needs for very low and low-income households, an increase in the
number of units for very low and low income is warranted.
. Raise requirement of affordable units from 10% to 15 % for large projects of 100
units or more.
. Raise requirement of affordable units from 10% to 15%, with 60% for very low
and low income households and 40% for moderate-income households.
. "Require" rather than consider the implementation of this policy through the
adoption of an Ordinance.
RESPONSE:
o The City does recognize that given the future potential of development
occurring in the urban areas of Western Chula Vista, the policy may need to be
revised to more appropriately reflect its application to this type of development
(see Policy 5.1.2). However, it is not the intent of the Housing Element, which
represents a broader policy document, to comprehensively address the specific
areas of change needed to the Balanced Communities policy. It is intended that
a more comprehensive and thorough analysis of the issues and recommended
revisions take place as a separate work program and possibly through the
adoption of an Ordinance (see Policy 5.1.3). At that time, the City may
consider such specific recommendations as lowering the threshold of.
applicability and a change in the percentage of units required as affordable for
very low, low or moderate income households.
Policy 5.2.3: Incentives for Housing located in Redevelopment Project Areas
COMMENTS:
. Incentives should focus on low and very low income housing instead of
moderate-income housing.

RESPONSE:
D While the policy does not directly addrf:ss very low and low income
households, the policy states that incentives wjll be for those projects that
.
exceed affordable housing requirements as stipulated within Redevelopment
Law and for those income categories least served. To exceed affordable
housing requirements, proposed developments would need to serve a deeper
affordability level than moderate income. As demonstrated in the analysis of
housing needs, extremely low, very low and low-income households are those
least served.
Objective 5.4: Support mobilehome parks as an affordable homeownership opportunity
consistent with the General Plan
COMMENTS:
· The City should consider the purchase of key mobilehome and trailer parks for
management (by the City or other entity) as affordable housing stock.
RESPONSE:
D The City does not actively acquire, operate or maintain housing units but does
encourage and provide incentives for the development, acquisition and
operation of affordable housing by other entities. As stipulated in Policy 5.4.2,
when mobilehome parks are available for sale, the City will provide assistance
to those park residents seeking to purchase their park. Additionally, various
policies also state the City's ability to provide assistance and other incentives to
other enteritis seeking to acquire or develop housing for very low and low-
income households.
Policy 5.4.2: Resident Ownership ofMobilehome Parks
COMMENTS:
· Create a policy of first right of refusal to park residents and to the City when
mobilehome park owners offer their properties for-sale.
RESPONSE:
D As stipulated within Policy 5.4.2, Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 9.60
provides any resident organization formed by homeowners of a mobilehome
park with the first right to purchase the mobilehome park once it has been listed
or offered for sale. This is in conformance with State Law (California Civil Code
Section 798.80) which also provides any resident organization formed by
homeowners in the mobilehome park with the right to purchase a mobilehome
park.

. This program should be assigned a priority levell instead of 2.

o This program has been revised to priority level 1.
Policy 7.4.1: Density Bonus
COMMENTS:
. Density Bonuses, as well as other incentives, should only be considered for
those projects that go beyond what State law requires, as proposed in Policy
5.2.3 which calls for incentives for those developments going beyond
Community Redevelopment Law requirements.
RESPONSE:
. 0 In accordance with California Government Code Section 65915, "when an
applicant seeks a density bonus for a housing development within, or for the
donation of land for housing within, the jurisdiction of a city, county, or city
and county, that local government shall provide the applicant incentives or
concessions for the production of housing units and child care facilities as
prescribed in this section." Therefore, the City is obligated to provide a density
bonus or other incentives if an applicant is in compliance with State law.
However, a local government does not need to "grant an incentive or
concession that has a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon health, safety, or the physical
environment, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate
or avoid the specific adverse impact...or would have an adverse impact on any
real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources."

provide a more immediate stock of affordable rental housing than new
construction.
RESPONSE: .
.
o Policy 7.4.5 has been revised to more specifically allow assistance for both new
construction and existing housing provided for very low and low-income
households. "Continue evaluating on a case-by-case basis requests from
developers and owners of new or existing residential developments for financial
assistance to provide affordable housing opportunities for very low- and low-
income households within such developments."
Freeway Buffer Policy
COMMENTS:
· Reform housing policies to prohibit new housing construction within 500 feet of
a heavily trafficked freeway.
· Schedule consideration of this policy by 2007.
RESPONSE:
o Policies regarding the location of land uses such as residential uses is more
appropriately covered in the General Plan Land Use Element. In accordance
with those policies of 7.1, the Housing Element advocates for the
implementation of Specific Plans, Zoning Ordinance, and Sectional Planning
Area Plans that are consistent with housing related land use policies contained
in the General Plan Update of 2005.

RE: Review of the City at Chula Vista's Draft Housing Element
Dear Ms. Smith:
Than\< you for submitting Chula Vista's draft housing element, receivec for review on
May 30,2006. As yeu are aware, the Department is required to re'llelll draft housing
elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code
Section 6S585(b). Telephone conversations with Ms. Leilani Hines. SE.nlor CommunilY
Development Specialist. and your consultant. Mr. David Barquist, facilt:ated the review.
The Department c;:ommends the City for undertaking 1he comprehensi\ e update of its
General Plan 2020 and further appreciates the City's efforts to develof' meaningful
housing and land-usa strategies to address Chula Vista's share of the regional housing
need. Including encouraging more urban environments in the western Jortlon of the
community. While the draft housing element addresses many statutcri requirements,
revisions will be necessary to comply with State housing element law (Article' 0.6 of the
Government Code). In particular, the element should include a sites inventory and more
detailed analysis of governmental constraints. The enclosed Append"ct describes the

APPENDIX
CrN OF CHULA VISTA
The foDowing changes would bring the City of Chula Vista's housing alenent into
compliance with Article 10.6 of the Govemment Code. The supporting s3ction of the
Government Code is cited to accompany each recommended change.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on the De )artment'5 website
at ~hcd.ca.aQv. Refer to the Division at Housing Policy Oevelopme:'\t and the section
pertaining to State Housing Planning. Among other resources, the Hous Ing Elements
section contains the Departmenfs publication, Howing Element Ouestims and Answers
(Os & As) and the Government Code addressing State housIng elemenllaw.
A. l:Iouslna Needs. F1esoul'Ce$. and commalntJ!
1. Include the loc:alify's share of regional housing need in accorda.10e with
Section 65584 (Sectian 65583(a)(1).
The element indicates S09 units affordable to lower- and model ate-Income
households have been constructed since January 1, 2003, (Pasle ACo17,
Table 0-6). To credit these units toward the City's share of the regional housing
need, the element should demonstrate affordabillty by Income Ilroup (i.e., very
low-, IOW-, and moderate) based on actual rents and sales price1s anellor applicable
mechanisms utilized to assure affordabilitv, such as subsIdy SOJrces (i.e., low-
Income housing tax credits, and redevelopment set-a-sldes).
2. Include an analysis and documentation of household chsracte/i$fics. including
level of payment compared to abIlity to pay and housing stock ,;onditiDns
(Section 65588(a)(2)).
Housina Stock Conditions - The element includes a general description of housing
conditions (page AA-23), including information on the age of1~e City's housing
stock and number of units lacking plumbing facUlties. However, the element
should also estimate the number of units needing repair and rE.placement. The
element could estimate housing conditions with windshield sur leys, sampl1ng or
utilizing lnformalion from tt1e local buildIng or code enforcemerlt departments,
redevelopment agencies or non-profit housing developers. This information wlll
assist the City i~ setting appropriate objectives and effectively implementing
rehabilitation loan programs.

3. Include an inventory of land suItable felr residential development. Including sites
having the potential far redevelopment, and an analysis of the re1ationsfr{p of
zoning and public facilities and servfces to these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)). The
Inventory of land suitable felr residential development shall be used to identify sites
that can be developed for llous{ng within the plannIng period (5e atIon 65583.2).
"
In acccrdance with recently enacted legislation (Chapter '724. Shtutes of 2004) I
the element must include a sites inventory and analysis demons-rating, among
other things, the suitability and realistic availability 01 sites (see t1e enclosed
Department memo). While the element addresses some of the. e statutory
requirements, the element must yet inQlude more detailed infomlatlon and
analysis, as follows:
Sites InventorY
Although the element aggregates residential capGity by general plan designation,
it must also Include a siteS inventory that lists properties by parcel number or
unique reference. size. general plan designation, zoning district and eldsting use
for nonvacant sites.
Master Planned Communities - The element notes residential c<!pa\:ity for over
17,000 homes in the City's master planned communities (page 11.0.7). Based on
our conversations, these communities have approved Sectional Planning Area
plans (SPAs) which include design and development standards and other
Implementing mechanisms for the general plan. To utilize theSI) sites for meeting
the adequate sites requirement, the element should identity acreage by approved
density and shOuld account for phasing schedules, where somll sites are not
planned to be built in the planning period. Also. this analysis should distinguish
between sites that are available for project applications and sltElS that already have
all necessary enlitlement approvals and are elCpected to be bui t during the
planning period. In the case of sites with approved projects, th.! element should
disCUsS or identify capacity by affordability levels based on proposed rent and
sales prices.
Analvsis of the Sites Inventorv
EnvifDnmental constraints - While the element generally disc~ sses environmental
constraints throughout the City (pages AB-12 to AB-13), this analysis should also
generally analyze arrj known environmental constraintS that may Impede
development on identified sites In the planning period.
Realistic capacity. The element must determine the antlclpattld development
capaclly of the identified sites. If Chuta Vista t1as established a minimum density
regulation, the element may use the minimum density for the . ita capacity

calculation. Otherwise, to address this statutory requirement. tts element should
include an analysis to support the average density calculation 0' Identified sites.
This analysis must adjust the calculation based on land-use controls and site
improvements. includ1ng height limits. This analysis should als() consider the
impact of non-residential uses allowed and could incorporate tyJically built
densities of the community. ..
'.
.
Suitability of Nonvacant Sites - For the ,portion of the sites which are not vacant,
the element ",ust demonstrate the suitability and feasibility of these sites through a
deSCription. relative to identified sites, of development trends. market conditions
and regulatory incentives or standards to faCilitate redevelopmE1nt. This discussion
should also Include an analysis of the potential of existing uses to convert to
residential. mixed-use or more intense residential use in the plMning period.
While the element generally states an analysis was ccnduoted, the element should
actually include that analy$is or a summary of that analysis. Fllrther, this analysis
should address recent development activity, particularly with respect to identified
sites, and should analyze the characteristics and circumstances of these sites that
may lead to conversion to residential or mixed-use in the planr.lng period, such as
interest from property owners, discontinuing uses and the condition and age of the
structures.
Zonlna for a Variety of Housino Tvaes
Emergency Shelters _ The element discusses how the City's 20ning code provides
guidance for locating homeless services and shelters as a .Communlty purpose
Facility" and the zoning allows for the development of homele!S shelters on churetl
facilities. However, the element must also an~e hoW zonln!! with capacity in
proximity servioes is available to encourage and facilitate emergenoy shelters.
specif1ca1lY, the element should Identify the zones where eme:gency shelters are
allowed, what permit procedures. development standards, siting requirements and
other decision making criteria are required, and finally determine whether the
zoning encourages and facilitates emergency shelters.
Transitional Housing - The element indicates the CIty's zonint establishes
provisions for transitional housing but does not speoiflcally ad ~ress where
transitional housing is allowed or encouraged. To address this statutory
requirement. the element must lllclude a more cletailed analy!;is of zoning
available to enGourage and faCilitate transitional housing. SpllciflGallY, the element
should identify and analyze what zones permit a variety of 1ra ,sitlonal housing
types, including apartments and single room occupancy units and how zoning and
pertinent development standards encourage a variety of ttan!.itional housing types.
Depending on the results of these analyses, the element mar need to acid
programs to Identify sites with zoning to encourage the devel.)pment of both
emergency sheRers and transitional housing.

4. An analySis of potential and actual governmental constraints UpO'l the
malntenatlC~ improvement, or development of housing for all im.oms levels and
for persons with disabilities. Including land use controlS, building codes and their
enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions and lecal processing
and permit procedures (section 65583(a)(4}},
"
Land-Use Controls _ The element indicates a maximum height ot two and a half
stories for apartments In multifamily zones and that a maximum Ilf 45 feet could be
approved by the design review committee. This development stmdard may be a
constraint and consequently. the element should include a more detailed analysiS
to determine impacts on development feasibility and the cosl and supply of
multifamily del/61opment. Specifically, this analysis should identify the decision-
making crtteria to obtain approval from the design review commr1ee and analyze
whether those criteria place a significant burden on an applicant If the analysis
finds the development standard is a significant constraint, the e\l!ment should
Include a prcgram to address and mitigate it.
Site ImDl'Qvements _ The element does not address this requirement. The revision
must describe and analyze actual standards 10r site improvements (e.g., minimum
street widthS) and analyZe their impact an the cost and supply 0' housing.
Local Prccessino and Permit pl'Qcedures - While the element rTlentiOf1s the City
has three levels of decision-making bodies (I.e., City council. Planning
commission and Design Review Committee). the element must also describe and
analyze permitted uses In each zone, permit approval procedums, InclUding the
level of discretionary review and deCision-making criteria fOr boh single-familY
and multifamily. For ~mple, the element should d\sCUss what approvals and
findings are necessary to permit multifamily in multifamily zones.
Further, the element should discuSS the City's deSign review prClcess, including
approval procedures and decision-making criteria. The analySil; could also
indicate whether objective standards and guidelines exist to all(oW an applicant lor
a residential development permit to determine what is required n order to mitigate
cost impacts.
Constraints on Housina 101 Persons with Disabilities - The element does not
address this requirement. It should include a detailed analySis of zoning,
development standards and approval procedures for potential clcnstraints on the
development, malntenance and Improvement of housing for persons with
disabif1ties. For example, among other things, the element should discuss:
(1) Whether the city has a formal reasonable accommodation ~Iroeedure to provide
exception in zoning and land-use for requests from persons with disabilities,
(2) any deflnitlons of family In the zoning code; (3) maximum cClncentratlon
requiremerrts for resIdential care facilities; (4) any site planning requirements that
may constrain housing for persons with disabilities; and (5) anr requirements for
on-site services for residential care facinties with six or fewer p,!rsons. A copy of

Where applicable, implementation programs should include spedflc timeHnes (I.e.,
dates, annually or serni-annually) fer implementation, as opposed to "em-going."
examples of implementation actions needing more specific time ines Include, but
are not limited to programs 4.1.1 (Community Impact Report, 5.:a.2 (IncentiVes for

housing for all incame levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-buIlt
housing, mob,7ehomes, housing for agnculturaJ employees. emllrgency shelters,
and transitional housing (Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in finding AS, the element does not include a comptell) sites Inventory
and analysis; therefore the adequacy of sites oannot be establilihed. Based on
the resulls of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City rnay need to add or
strengthen programs and address any shortfall of residential development
oapacity.
TIle Department understands the City wlll be pursuing conforming zoning efforts
10 the general plan update, particularly In the western portion 0\ Chula Vista.
including the Urban Cere SpecifiC Plan anti Southwest Plannin!! Areas. These
efforts are a critical piece of the City's housing strategy and the element should
Include more detailed commitment \0 implement these strategins, including
implementation actions to rezone higher density sites with acreages by a date
certain. ThIs program could also include more detailed commhment to provide
incentives and streamline approvals.

The program shall remove constraints to. or provide reasonable accommodations
for housing desIgned for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services
fer, persons with disabfUtfes (Section 65583(c)(3)).
As noted in finding A4, the element requires a more detailed an,alysis of potential
govemmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City
may need to strengthen or add programs and address and remllve or mitigate any
Identified constraints.
4. The housing program shail promote equal housing opportunltiell for all persons
regardless of race, religiOn, seX', marital status, ancestry, national origin color,
familial status or disabiiily (section 65583(0)(6)).
The element must revise program 8.1.2 (page H-81) to ensure lair housing
materials are distributed throUghout the entire community in a variety of locations
and add program actions to assist in resolving fair housing comillalnts. Please
refer to the OepartmenfS as & As publication (page 42).

(1). Determination of RHNA credited units since January 1, 2003.
This section refers to confirmation of actual afford ability levels for units receiving RHNA
construction credit for the current RHNA Period. The revised Table, C-8. (former Table C-6)
on Page AC-32 provides footnotes indicating the actual source of the affordability data.
Data utilized to credit indicated affordable developments via actual sales priceslrental rates.
as indicated by recent sales/rental transactions. To determine affordability levels, the MFI
for Chula Vista was translated into actual affordable rents consistent with Table A-15 (Page
AA-2?). Sources for these data included ApartmentRatings.com for current/historical rental
rates and FASTweb for sales prices.
(2). Housing Stock Conditions.
The City of Chula Vista's Code Enforcement Section of the Planning and Building
Department provided information related to Housing Stock Conditions. The City has a pro-
active code enforcement program focusing on apartment units and has compiled statistics
relative to the conditions of the housing stock and the estimated number of units in need of
repair or replacement and the actual average cost of improvements. A discussion of this in
provided in Section 2.4.5 of Appendix A (Pages AA-23 to AA-24).
(3). Sites Inventory.
Master Planned Communities:
Significant Revisions to Appendix C, Section 2.2.1 (Page AC-5 to AC-20) have been
provided to further illustrate the actual and planned development in eastem Chula Vista.
The Master Planned Communities Table C-2 has been revised to indicate the actual status
of entitlement, to provide clarification of the likelihood of development based upon proposed
afford ability levels. The three levels of entitlement included are: (1) developments currently
being implemented (under construction); (2) projects with approved SPA Plans (legal zoning
entitlements), and; (3) projects with General Development Plans (first tier zoning
entitlements). To further clarify this analysis, the graphic representation of the SPA plans
has been included, which illustrates the layout, type and density of development in the SPA
areas. Each of the SPA plans provides specific detail relative to developable acreage and
approved densities. Table C-2 (Page AC-6) provides a summary of these entitlements and
Figures C-1 through C-10 (Pages AC-? to AC-16) provides a graphic summary of the
Master Planned Communities.

Environmental Constraints. Revisions to 2.9.1 (Page AB-15) indicate that in eastern
Chula Vista, environmental impacts were a determining factor in designating those sites in
eastern Chula Vista as developable. The Multi-Species Conservation Program (MSCP)
provides the baseline analysis for determining those areas in eastern Chula Vista that can
accommodate residential development. Additionally, in westem Chula Vista, the key focus
areas of change, generally incorporate the boundaries of the Urban Core Specffic Plan. As
part of the Environmental Impact Analysis, a full constraints analysis was conducted,
environmentally sensitive sites mapped and specffic actions to mitigate potential
environmental impacts, prior to development. Refer to Page AB-15 for specific text
revisions.
Realistic Capacity - Appendix C provides a detailed summary of the actual capacity of
identified sites through the inclusion of the actual SPA plans, providing the actual approved
density standards. For sites in westem Chula Vista, a thorough analysis of sites included a
evaluation of the net development potential (as opposed to gross) based upon unique site
conditions, existing land uses and market trends, Section 2.2.2 of Appendix C (Pages AC-
20 to AC-30) provides a discussion of the methodology in determining the feasibility of these
sites,
Suitability of Non-Vacant Sites - A major component to the Housing Element is the re-use
and intensification of land use in western Chula Vista. As indicated in the updated General
Plan, adopted in December of 2005, focus areas of more intensive development have be
redesignated in significant portions of western Chula Vista. A thorough analysis of non-
vacant sites was conducted, as provided in the new Appendix J. The methodology for this
analysis is provided in the introduction of AppendiX J. Additionally, market demand and the
availability of infrastructure was an additional indicator of suitability of these sites. A
discussion of these market factors is provided in Section 2.2.2 (Pages AC-20 to AC-27). It
should be noted that the infillfintensification analysis, as provided in Appendix J, was not
included to meet the City's RHNA need over the planning period since the future rezoning
within the Urban Core area would facilitate the RHNA obligations.
Zoninq for a Variety of Housinq Tvpes
Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing - Section 3.4.5 of Appendix A (Pages AA-
38 to AA-32) provides a more detailed analysis of Emergency Shelters and Transitional
Housing describing in detail the permit requirements, allowed zones for these facilities and
applicable discretionary review procedures.

4. Analysis of Governmental Constraints
land Use Controls - A more detailed discussion of development standards as they apply
to residential height standards, indicating the development review procedures do not create
an undue constraint to housing development. A thorough discussion of this issue is
provided in Section 2.1.2 of Appendix B (Page AB-5 to AB-6). Additionally an in-depth
discussion of the entitlement and design review procedures'for residential development are
provided in Section 2.8 of Appendix B (Page AB-12 to AB-13)
Site Improvements - A discussion of the potential impacts of site improvement standards
are provided in Section 2.1.3 of Appendix B (Pages AB-6 to AB-7).
local Processing and Permit Procedures - Section 2.8 of Appendix B (Pages AB-11 to
AB-13) provides a more detailed discussion of the actual permit procedures for residential
development. Additionally, Pages AB-5 and AB-6 provide discussion of conditionally
permitted residential uses in non-residential zones.
Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities - Section 3.4.4 of Appendix A
(Pages AA-36 to AB-38) provides a more detailed discussion relative to constraints on
housing for persons with disabilities. This section describes current programs and
procedures relative to improving disabled access in residential developments.

B. Housing Programs.
(1). Implementation Programs.
As indicated in the review letter, the programs identified in B(1) have been revised to include
specific timelines for implementation and review. All continuing programs in Part II of the
Draft Housing Element indicating implementation timelines as "ongoing" have been revised
to provide annual review. Revisions to these programs are shown on pages H-54 through H-
86 of Part II of the Draft Housing Element.
(2). Actions to be taken to make sites available during the current period.
Appendix C, as revised, provides a more detailed analysis of available sites. As indicated in
the policy program of Part II, a major implementing mechanism is the adoption of the Urban
Core Specific Plan, which provides extensive intensification of the westem portion of Chula
Vista. Additionally, the policy programs relating to rezoning in Part II provide date certain
implementation timelines. Appendix C, as revised, indicates the City has enough
development capacity to meet its RHNA obligations during the Housing Element planning
period. Refer to A(3) above for specific document references.
(3). Removal of Governmental Constraints.
As discussed in A(4) above, a more detailed analysis of constraints has been included in the
revised Draft Housing Element. As shown in this analysis, there are no observed
govemmental constraints that have a negative impact on housing production. Refer to
document revisions indicated in A(4), above.
(4). Housing Programs - Equal Opportunity.
Pursuant to HCD's request, Housing Element Part II, Program 8.1.2 (Page H-85) has been
revised to provide more specific language to encourage community-wide access to fair
housing education and counseling.

D. Redevelopment Funds.
The Housing Element provides a new table C-18 (Page AC-47), which details the City's
anticipated Redevelopment Agency Funding anticipated over the Housing Element Planning
Period. As contained in the Redevelopment Agency's 5-year Redevelopment
Implementation Plan, a discussion of the types of eligible development and the amount of
funding anticipated is included on Page AC-47.

~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager JI (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No ~ )
Representatives from General Growth, Inc. have requested that the Police Department
enforce the California Vehicle Code at the Otay Ranch Town Centre at 2015 Birch
Road. This ordinance would permit the Police Department to conduct Vehicle Code
enforcement on the Otay Ranch Town Centre property.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopts the ordinance implementing enforcement of California Vehicle
Code Sections 21107.6 and 21107.8 on the privately owned parking facilities at the
Otay Ranch Town Centre.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The Police Department has been working with representatives from General Growth,
Inc., the property management company for the Otay Ranch Town Centre (ORTC), on
several issues related to public safety at ORTC. Since all of the roads and parking lots
within the boundaries of ORTC are classified as private property, General Growth, Inc.
has requested that the Police Department enforce California Vehicle Code regulations
on their property. California Vehicle Code sections 21107.6 and 21107.8 give the City
the authority to enforce vehicle code violations on private property that is open to the
public for commercial purposes. Both Vehicle Code sections require adoption of an
ordinance by the City Council, along with a public hearing, in order to be in compliance.
Without this ordinance, the Police Department would not be able to make any Vehicle
Code citations upon the Otay Ranch Town Centre property.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this
action.

(4/5ths Vote: Yes _ No--1L)
SUBMITTED BY:
In August of 1989, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a series of 'supplemental' impact
fees. After a more comprehensive review of the City's capital needs over the next year, the
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) program was established in January of 1991,
via Ordinance 2432. This program enables the City to implement the intent of the Growth
Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) program, and to ensure that existing residents do
not bear the costs of new development. This program was last comprehensively updated in
November of 2002. Tonight Council will consider approval of the "Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee, March 2006 Update". The public hearing has been duly noticed.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing;
2. Approve the Ordinance amending Chapter 3.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (first
reading), to take effect and be in full force on the sixtieth (60th) day from and after its
second reading and adoption; and
3. Approve the Resolution adopting the report prepared by staff.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
This discussion represents a brief recap of more detailed information contained in the attached
"Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update" report.
14-1
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date:
let
10/24/06
The purpose of the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is mitigation of the
cumulative burden on public facilities placed by new development. The public facilities financed
by the PFDIF include the following eleven (11) components:
1. Civic Center Expansion
2. Police Facilities and Equipment
3. Corporation Yard Relocation
4. Libraries
5. Fire Suppression System
6. Geographic Information System (GIS)
7. Computer Systems
8. Telecommunications Systems
9. Records Management System
10. Administration
11. Major Recreation Facilities
Of the eleven (11) PFDIF components detailed above, staff recommended the closure of four
(4) support system components earlier this evening; including the Geographic Information
System (GIS), Computer Systems, Telecommunications Systems, and Records Management
System components. This report assumes the Council's approval of the recommended
closures.
On November 12, 2002, City Council approved the "Public Facilities DIF, November 2002
Amendment". This represents the last comprehensive update of the PFDIF program. In June of
2005, Council approved the application of an annual inflationary increase for the PFDIF. For
those components involving construction of facilities, the annual increase was tied to the
Construction Cost Index (CCI) published by the Engineering News Record. For the remaining
components, the annual inflationary increase was tied to the annual increase in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for the San Diego Metropolitan Area. The first such annual increase went into
effect in October of 2005, increasing the single family fee per dwelling unit from $5,480 to
$5,489. Staff delayed undertaking a comprehensive PFDIF program update in anticipation of
the City's General Plan Update, completed in December of 2005.
The current update does not include any new major facilities, but instead focuses on updating
the program obligation to account for increased construction and financing costs of previously
included projects. In addition, the current update includes increased densities and other land
use changes included in the General Plan Update approved by Council on December 13th,
2005. The next update will address new facility needs identified in various Master Plan updates
currently in progress as appropriate.
The fees, facility phasing schedules, and PFDIF cash reserves detailed in the "Public Facilities
Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update" are based on a specific rate of growth which, if
different than projected, will require a reevaluation of those fees, facility phasing, and cash
reserves in future updates.
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee Increase
As described above, the City's PFDIF program has not been comprehensively updated since
November of 2002. In the ensuing period, a number of factors have led to the increased rates
included in the current update. These factors include increased costs for construction materials
and project insurance; increased financing costs; the addition of four minor projects; and a
reduction in the number of future development units (residential dwelling units and commercial/

industrial acres) over which to spread the program's costs. New projects reflected in this update
include studies and minor capital acquisitions. The relative impact of new projects and
construction and financing cost increases is illustrated in the chart below.
2%
II Project Costs
o Financing Costs
. New Projects
The majority of the aforementioned reduction in future development units is a direct and
unavoidable result of the ongoing development within the City. For example, since the
November 2002 PFDIF Update, the City has permitted approximately 4,000 single family and
3,000 multi-family units. This factor would have had greater impact on the program's cost, had
the General Plan's increased densities and western redevelopment and infill development not
been considered in the current update. These two factors combine to result in a net loss of
approximately 1,500 future residential units, between the November 2002 report and the current
report. There is an additional impact to the commercial and industrial rates per acre resulting
from a significant reduction in the anticipated development for these two land uses, as
compared with the November 2002 Update. These changes bring the PFDIF's development
projections in line with the recently adopted General Plan Update.
The proposed fees are based upon anticipated future development within the City. The
projected development for each land use is as follows:

Single Family Dwelling Units
Multi-Family Dwelling Units
Commercial Acres
I ndustrial Acres
4,854

Using these development projections, the PFDIF fee has been calculated for each land use
category. The current and proposed fees, as well as the resultant fee increases, are detailed
below.

As illustrated in the table above, no fee has been calculated for the Geographic Information
System, Computer Systems, Telecommunications Systems, or Records Management Systems
components of the PFDIF; as the March 2006 fee calculation assumes the closure of these
support system components. Council will consider the closure of these components via
separate action this evening.
While the increase per industrial acre remains the highest percent increase, it is worth noting
that prior to the November 2002 Update, the rate per industrial acre was significantly higher.
For example, in the 1999 Update, the fee per industrial acre was set at $13,090. This rate was
then increased in the March 2002 Update to $20,860. It was only in the November 2002 Update
that the fee per industrial acre was reduced to $3,848. When considered in this light, the rate
per industrial acre currently proposed represents a decrease of 39% from the 1999 rate (a
decrease of 6.5% annually); and a reduction of more than 62% from the March 2002 rate. This
reduction was achieved by partnering with the development community to further refine the
program's cost spreading methodology and improved land use data.
Despite fee increases approved since 2002, the PFDIF as a percent of the average single family
home sale price (in 2006) has decreased by more than 17%, from 1.43% to 1.18%. This
calculation is based upon the average sales price of single family detached homes in the City of
Chula Vista, as reported in the San Diego County Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
Overall residential impact fees (including school, park, transportation, and other development
fees) as a percent of the average single family home sale price have dropped by more than 9%,
from 7.7% to 7.0% during the same period. The preceding calculations both assume the
implementation of the March 2006 Update PFDIF fee structure in the calculation of the 2006
rates. In light of these declines, it is anticipated that the proposed rates will be borne by
residential developers without significantly impacting product affordability, marketability, or
development timing.
Cost Allocation Methodoloqy
The allocation of costs in a development impact fee program must be based upon benefit
received. The six (6) project components of the PFDIF program (excluding the Program
Administration component) are principally based upon providing infrastructure necessitated by
14-4

I~
people-related public service to the community, e.g. fire protection, police protection, public
works services, etc. Originally, the PFDIF assigned benefit to future development on the basis
of land use types (residential, commercial, and industrial) using population generation factors.
The November 2002 Update introduced the use of Service Demand Factors in the allocation of
costs among land use types. At that time, the factors were largely based upon the FIND (Fiscal
Impact of New Development) model and TDIF (Transportation Development Impact Fee) factors
in effect at that time. .
The March 2006 report recommends updating the service demand factors using the General
Plan Fiscal Impact Model in place of the FIND model, in the calculation of both the Police
Facility and Fire Suppression component factors. The FIND model was originally developed for
the Otay Ranch annexation only, whereas the General Plan model is a citywide model. In
addition, the data used in the General Plan model is more current, making it the more
appropriate model for use in the current PFDIF update. The TDIF factors are based on Average
Daily Trips, and were updated by Council in June of 2005. These updated trip generation
factors were used in the calculation of the Corporation Yard component's service demand
factors.
Commercial & Industrial Development Service Demand Factors
The current update includes one refinement of the service demand factor methodology. This
change applies only to commercial and industrial development, and is intended to provide a
more equitable cost allocation among land uses and increase the degree of coordination and
standardization between the City's public facilities and transportation development impact fee
programs.
The City's Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program excludes 'pass-by' trips
from the calculation of commercial development fees. As the Corporation Yard component's
service demand factors are based upon the TDIF rates, this exclusion is already in use within
the PFDIF program. The proposed modification will apply this same methodology to all
applicable components.
For commercial and industrial development, "pass-by" trips are now reflected in the Police, Fire,
and Corporation Yard service demand factors. Pass-by trips are trips in which a stop at a
commercial or industrial facility is one part of a linked trip to or from home or work. An analysis
of commercial trip origins and destinations was performed as part of this update process. This
analysis found that approximately 77 percent of commercial trips are generated from within the
PFDIF boundary area and 23 percent are from outside the area. Similarly, 46 percent of trips to
industrial uses in the City were identified as originated outside the program boundary. Detailed
calculations of external trips for commercial and industrial land uses are included as
Attachments 5 and 6 of this report, respectively.
This update applies these ratios in the calculation of the service demand factors for commercial
and industrial uses. Excluding these pass-by trips from the calculation of commercial and
industrial service demand factors limits the PFDIF obligation for these two land-uses to the
mitigation of external customers and employees only. These pass-by trips are then used to re-
assign the internally generated service demand back to the residential land uses. For new
residential development in Chula Vista, all costs associated with mitigating their impact on
public services will now be assessed via the residential fee only.

Prepavment Funds
In the March 2002 PFDIF update, developers were given the opportunity to prepay fees for two
components - the Civic Center Expansion component, and the Police Facility component. The
prepay fee was a reduced rate, calculated by excluding financing costs from the fee calculation.
This program was designed to allow developers to provide project construction funds up front,
eliminating the need to secure these funds through long-term borrowing and protecting
developers from project cost increases (other than extraordinary circumstances).
An audit of the prepayment program was completed in conjunction with the March 2006 Update.
As a result of this audit, staff is recommending that 100% of the prepayment funds received
(approximately $6.95 million) be applied to Phase III of the Civic Center Expansion, thereby
reducing the construction funds to be financed via long-term borrowing. With a reduction in
funds to be borrowed, a reduction in associated financing costs is assumed in the current PFDIF
Update. In total, the application of prepayment funds results in an estimated PFDIF financing
obligation reduction of approximately $6.25 million.
Debt Service ObliQation
Of the future program obligation of $226.3 million, approximately $132.6 million (60.2%) is
attributable to debt service payments. These payments represent the repayment of principal, as
well as finance charges incurred in the long-term borrowing of project construction funds. The
debt service obligations of the PFDIF program are detailed in the following table.

The bonds for the Civic Center Phase III project have not yet been sold, and are therefore a
projection based upon the most recent bond sale completed - Phase II of the Civic Center
Complex Expansion.
The PFDIF Program is unable to sell bonds directly in order to generate project funds; therefore
the City is the final guarantor of the PFDIF's debt. Should insufficient PFDIF funds be available
to meet the debt service obligation, the City's General fund would have to fill any gap. The City
is exploring the possible creation of a 'Market Fluctuation Reserve' to set aside PFDIF funds for
unanticipated fluctuations in the housing market and anticipates including the creation of such a
reserve fund in the next update of the PFDIF program.

Cash Flow Analvses
In conjunction with the current PFDIF Update, several cash flow analyses have been prepared.
As these models illustrate, the City has good security to cover PFDIF construction and debt
service expenditures, should a major downturn occur. In the future, close monitoring of these
models will be critical in ensuring the ongoing viability of the PFDIF program.
Attached are the following cash flow models:
. Attachment 2 - PFDIF Program Cash Flow Summary
. Attachment 3 - PFDIF Program Expenditure Detail
. Attachment 4 - PFDIF Program Cash Flow - Debt Service Obligation Minimum Building
Permit Activity
The first two attachments reflect the program as proposed in the 2006 Update. Attachment 2,
the PFDIF Program Cash Flow Summary, illustrates the overall cash flow of the PFDIF
program. As shown in the attachment, the PFDIF program will generate sufficient fee revenue
to meet all expenditure commitments, resulting in a $0 fund balance at the conclusion of the
program. Attachment 3 includes detailed expenditure data, as summarized in Attachment 2.
Attachment 4 was created to identify the minimum number of building permits that must be
issued annually in order to meet the City's existing PFDIF debt service obligation. This scenario
is discussed in greater detail below. This model reflects the same debt service expenditures
detailed in Attachment 3, the PFDIF Program Expenditure Detail.
During the last five years (FY 2002 - FY 2006) the City permitted an average of approximately
2,500 residential units annually. The future development forecasted by the Planning
Department through build out, and reflected in the current update, is as follows:
Land Use Description Units
Single Family Dwelling Units 4,854
Multi-Family Dwelling Units 22,467
Commercial Acres 518.42
I ndustrial Acres 881.51
From a cash flow perspective, permits issued rather than dwelling units constructed is the
salient statistic. It is at the time of permits issuance that impact fees are collected. As such,
these models and all related discussions refer only to permits issued.
In the attached cash flow analyses and the discussion below, the model is based upon four time
increments. These increments are as follows:
. Increment 1: 2006 - 2010
. Increment 2: 2011 - 2020
. Increment 3: 2021 - 2030
. Increment 4: 2031 - Build out
Debt Service Obligation Minimum Building Permit Activity Scenario
As detailed in Attachment 3, the PFDIF's total debt service is forecasted to total approximately
$23.2 million in Increment 1, $52.6 million in Increment 2, and approximately $43 million in
Increment 3. From 2031 through build out, the remaining debt service will decline to
approximately $13.8 million. In all, between 2006 and build out, the PFDIF program will expend
more than $132.6 million on debt service payments.

The cash flow presented in Attachment 4 shows the minimum residential building permit activity
necessary to meet the PFDIF's anticipated debt service obligation, as described above. This
analysis, therefore, assumes no future staff time or other project expenditures from the program.
Project expenditures omitted from this model include future Rancho del Rey Library funding, as
well as the future EUC Library, EUC Fire Station, and two recreation facilities to be sited in Otay
Ranch Village 4. This model has also been updated to reflect all actual expenditures and
revenues realized in fiscal year 2006. In the interest' of being conservative, no future
commercial or industrial development has been assumed in this'model.
It should be noted that no annual residential development is reflected in Increment 1. This is a
result of the available cash balance of the PFDIF fund, reducing the program's need by
approximately $24.4 million in the first increment. With only $23.2 million in debt service
payments during this period, no additional fee revenue is necessary to meet the PFDIF's debt
service obligation through 2010. Non-debt service expenditures incurred through the end of
fiscal year 2006 are fully offset by actual revenues received during the same accounting period.
The minimum annual development necessary to meet the PFDIF's anticipated debt service
obligation has been calculated for both single family and multi-family residential uses. As
mentioned previously, no additional development is required in Phase I to meet the PFDIF's
debt service obligations during that phase. In Increment 2, in order to meet the debt service
obligations of the PFDIF fund, either 622 single family units, OR 656 multi-family units would
have to be permitted annually. Most likely, actual development will be some combination
thereof.
In Increments 3 and 4, the permitting of 292 - 575 residential units annually will be necessary to
meet the program's debt service obligation. It should be noted that as far back as 1986, annual
residential growth has never fallen below 800 units. During the last five years, the City has
permitted an average of 2,500 residential units. These historic trends suggest that residential
development in the City will not fall below the levels necessary to meet the PFDIF's debt service
obligation.
Developer Discussions
The City has a long history of working collaboratively with the development community to
ensure the most successful development impact fee programs possible. In order to continue
this successful partnership, the 2006 PFDIF Update process included multiple meetings with
interested parties during a five (5) month period. A representative from the Building Industry
Association (BIA), along with representatives from all major developers in the City were invited
to attend these meetings.
Meetings with the development community resulted in the identification of five (5) primary issues
of concern. These issues include the allocation of program costs between residential and
commercial I industrial land uses; the use of prepayment fees; financing costs associated with
the Rancho del Rey Library; the planned University Area of the Otay Ranch; and land use
tabulations. As described above, the issues of cost allocations between land uses and the use
of prepayment fees have been addressed in the final PFDIF report. Issues related to financing
the Rancho del Rey Library, the University Area, and land use tabulations are discussed below.
Rancho del Rey Library
Historically, the PFDIF program has not included financing costs associated with the Rancho del
Rey Library. Instead, the program assumed the construction of the facility using State Grant
funds and other cash on hand. The City was unable to secure the anticipated State Grant, and
14-8

Meeting Date: ~
is now required to move forward with construction of the facility. In conjunction with the current
update, a review of the PFDIF's cash flow and development projections revealed the need to
secure project funding through long-term borrowing. As a result, anticipated financing costs
were added to the initial draft of the March 2006 PFDIF Update. During the aforementioned
meetings with the development community, a number of developers voiced concern over the
addition of these financing costs to the PFDIF program, and the subsequent impact of those
costs on the fee schedule. The Otay Ranch Company proffered their pending bonded
infrastructure CFD (Communities Facilities District) for Otay Ranch Village 2 as a potential
solution. Following analysis by City staff, it was determined that the PFDIF obligation for this
village is sufficient to meet anticipated Rancho del Rey Library facility construction costs. As a
result of the availability of this CFD's bond sale proceeds, the City may not have to seek long-
term borrowing to construct this facility. With this understanding and agreement, all financing
costs associated with this facility were removed from the final Library component fee calculation.
Should the Otay Ranch Village 2 CFD be delayed, or not be formed as planned, it may be
necessary to delay construction of the library, and I or consider long-term financing in the future.
Any decision to seek long-term borrowing in the future would be based upon PFDIF cash flow
projections and other applicable considerations.
Planned University Area of Otay Ranch
Since its inception in 1989, the PFDIF program has excluded all units within the planned
University site from the overall unit count. This exclusion is consistent throughout the City's
development impact fee programs. In the 2000 PFDIF Update, this issue was explicitly
addressed in the report's Introduction section. This section reads as follows (bold emphasis
added):
For the purposes of this report, the "Area of Benefit" is generally defined as all land to be
developed within the City of Chula Vista, as detailed in this report (ref Methodology
Section, pages 2-7). The Rancho San Miguel project area has not, as yet, annexed into
the City. However, this project has been included in the area of benefit since it has an
approved City SPA plan. Conversely, the Mid-Bayfront project is not being included at
this time since there is no approved plan detailing the project's proposed residential units
and/or industrial/commercial acres. Once a Mid-Bayfront plan is adopted, the PFDIF will
need to be amended to include this project. The planned University site in the Otay
Ranch project area is not included since the University will be responsible for
developing its own facilities.
The exclusion of these units is also addressed in both 2002 PFDIF Update reports. Each of
these reports included a discussion of the newly initiated Prepayment Program. In the
discussion of this program, the reports discuss potential future changes to planned
development. In both reports, the future inclusion of residential units from the University Site is
used as an example of a significant Equivalent Dwelling Unit ("EDU") change, which could occur
in the future. In addition, the March 2002 report Appendix included detailed acreage projections
for both commercial and industrial land uses. This projection excluded all commercial and
industrial acreage within the planned University site. The omission of these acres from the total
acreage projection directly leads to the exclusion of the acres from the fee calculation itself.
As described above, the exclusion of the University site from the program is consistent with the
City's other impact fee programs. The City's Transportation Development Impact Fee ("TDIF")
was also updated in 1999. In the staff report presented to City Council, the exclusion of the
University site from the program is directly addressed. The report reads as follows:
14-9
T
Page 10, Item:

10/24/06
The TDIF report excludes Villages 9 & 10 of/he Otay Ranch (Which have a primary land
use designation as the University site) and related roadway improvements from the Area
of Benefit. The secondary land uses (i.e., residential and commercial) are identified in
the report but not counted toward the EDUs generating fees. A final recommendation on
the TDIF for this planning area will be presented to Council upon approval of its ultimate
land use.
The report goes on to explain why the University site was excluded from the TDIF Area of
Benefit:
It is anticipated that the University, if approved, would be responsible for constructing
suitable transportation facilities. If the University is not constructed and the area
develops according to the approved alternative, future updates will incorporate said area
and related facilities into the program.
Discussions to this effect were also included in the staff reports presented to City Council for the
2002 and 2005 TDIF Updates.
As described in the above excerpt from the 1999 PFDIF report, the Mid-Bayfront project was
also excluded from the PFDIF program at that time. Now that a detailed development plan for
this project has been completed, the projected development associated with this site has been
included in the 2006 PFDIF fee calculation. The same process is anticipated for the University
site. In order to include this project in the fee program in the future, any impacts to service
delivery resulting from the development of the University site will be analyzed, taking into
account the provision of public facilities by the University itself. For instance, most University
campuses include library, recreation, and public safety services. The precise nature of the
facilities and services to be provided on-campus is not known at this time, nor has a detailed
land use plan been developed for the University site.
On December 13'", 2005, Council approved an update of the City's General Plan. At that time,
significant uncertainty existed with regard to land use changes in the Planned University Area of
the Otay Ranch, including Villages 8, 9, and 10. As a result of this uncertainty, the approval of
these villages was deferred for a period of 120 days. This deferral was then extended for two
additional 120-day periods on April 11, 2006 and July 25, 2006. Until the Council approves a
General Plan Update for these two villages, the previous General Plan land uses remain in
effect.
Staff has targeted the end of calendar year 2006, or early 2007, for Council approval of an
updated General Plan for these villages. Following this approval, staff will begin the process of
performing a detailed analysis of the impacts of the planned University site on public services.
Upon the completion of this analysis, the City will bring forward an update to the PFDIF
program. This update will incorporate additional units and acreages as appropriate, while
reflecting the impact of the University project on the delivery of City services.
It is the position of the development community that these units should be included in the PFDIF
program in advance of the finalization of University plans. Inclusion of any projected
development from these villages would act to reduce the fee per unit throughout the program
boundary, while increasing the level of risk assumed by the General Fund, should projected
development not occur. It is staff's opinion that it is the most prudent course of action to
continue excluding these units until the General Plan Update for the Otay Ranch University Area
has been approved and an analysis of resultant public service impacts has been completed.

Land Use Tabulations
The PFDIF fee calculation is based upon projections of residential units and commercial I
industrial acres to be developed in the City. These numbers are projections only, and are
subject to change and revision as land use plans evolve. In preparing the March 2006 PFDIF
Update, revised commercial and industrial fees per acre were calculated. When compared with
existing fees, a significant increase was apparent. This ihcrease is largely attributable to a
decrease in the number of commercial and industrial acres projected for development within the
program boundaries.
In an effort to understand this decreased development projection, prior PFDIF Update reports
were reviewed. Staff identified a significant increase in the November 2002 Update commercial
and industrial acreage development projection, as compared with the March 2002 Update.
These additional acres acted to reduce the PFDIF fees per acre for these land uses. The
November 2002 Update was the result of a successful collaborative effort between the City of
Chula Vista and the local development community. The commercial I industrial development
acreage projection applied in the November 2002 update was based upon data provided by the
San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). In conjunction with the current PFDIF
update, this projection was revised to reflect the City's updated General Plan land use densities.
It is the position of the development community that the change in commercial/industrial
acreage projected between the March 2002 and November 2002 updates represents an error
on the part of the City, and that the City bears responsibility for any fee revenue not collected as
a result of this error.
In contrast, it is the position of staff that regular adjustments and updates made to bring
projections inline with actual revenues, expenditures, and development are inherent to the
nature of impact fee calculations. In addition, the City may use, at its discretion, such
standardized analytical documentation available to allow the City to determine effective land use
projections, in order to calculate reasonable fee allocation figures. In this instance, the City
utilized what, at the time, was the best available information to complete the March and
November 2002 updates. Further, the development community was fully informed of the land
use tabulation that the City utilized, and did not object to utilizing this standard information. As
discussed herein, presently, staff is utilizing the recent General Plan Update for land use
tabulation purposes; as the General Plan Update is now considered the best available
information. The City has always, and will continue to, use the best information available at the
time in regards to facility costs; financing costs, and development projections.
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. Although
environmental review is not necessary at this time, environmental review and a CEQA
determination may be required prior to the approval of final design plans and the awarding of
construction contracts for facilities funded through Public Facilities Development Impact Fees.

DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found two (2) conflicts
exist, in that Councilmembers Jerry Rindone and Steve Castaneda have property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Facilities included in the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) program total
$250.7 million, with a future program need of $226.3 million ($24.4 million in funds on hand).
Revenues resulting from this fee update will provide the funds necessary to offset the costs
associated with the construction and financing of all PFDIF projects.

Chula Vista, CA 91910
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY OF CHULA VISTA COMMERCIAL PFDIF ANALYSIS
Dear Ms. Allen:
Katz, Okitsu & Associates has prepared this memorandum to assist in the update of the
Commercial service demand factor (SDF) for the City's PFDIF (Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee) program. The following analysis methodology was employed to isolate commercial
trips originating/terminating outside the City limits from commercial trips traveling within the
City limits. Commercial trips within the City limits are considered to be Chula Vista residents
whom already contribute via their residential fees. Therefore, the City has suggested that only
the "outside" commercial trips be applied to the SDF calculations for the PFDIF program.
Analysis Methodology:
I) Identify predominantly commercial traffic analysis zones (T AZs) within the City of Chula
Vista.
2) Commission SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) to run a combined select
zone model based on the chosen commercial-dominant zones, after removing all non-
commercial land uses from each zone.
3) Based on the model output, identify all commercial trips originating I terminating outside
the City of Chula Vista limits.
4) Calculate the average commercial trip rate per acre from the model.
S) Calculate the Commercial external SDF based on the percentage of "outside" commercial
model trips (as compared to the total number of commercial trips generated by the
model).
Katz, Okitsu & Associates worked with the City of Chula Vista Traffic Engineer to identify
commercial-dominant T AZs within the City of Chula Vista limits. Eight zones were selected
from different parts of the City as to provide a more global representation of commercial
activity. Collectively, the eight zones contain community commercial, regional commercial and
street front commercial land uses, thereby providing a variety of commercial components and
a range of trip generation rates.
SANDAG produced a combined select zone model for all eight commercial-dominant TAZs
using the City of Chula Vista's General Plan Update preferred land use alternative for Buildout
conditions (AltS8c). All non-commercial land uses were removed so that strictly commercial
trips were represented. Average daily traffic volumes from the eight zones were distributed
throughout the network. A cordon was identified on the select zone plot to represent the
14-17

City boundary. Otay Ranch - University Villages 9 and 10, located in the southeast portion of
the City of Chula Vista, are not currently included in .the City's PFDIF Program. Therefore,
these villages were placed outside of the cordon.
As previously described, trips traveling toHrom each commercial zone within the City
boundary are considered to be Chula Vista residents whom already contribute via residential
impact fees. Therefore, the total number of commercial trips originating / terminating outside
the cordon was calculated, and then divided over the total number of trips generated by the
model (approximately 172,000 daily trips) to equal the "percentage of outside trips". The
percentage of outside trips was found to be 23%.
In conclusion, the calculated external service demand for commercial development within the
City of Chula Vista's PFDIF program area is 23% of the total commercial service
demand.
Sincerely,
Katz, Okitsu & Associates

SUBJECT:
SUMMARY OF CHULA VISTA INDUSTRIAL PFDIF ANALYSIS
Dear Ms. Allen:
Katz, Okitsu & Associates has prepared this memorandum to assist in the update of the
Industrial service demand factor (SDF) for the City's PFDIF (Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee) program. The following analysis methodology was employed to isolate industrial
trips originatinglterminating outside the City limits from industrial trips traveling within the
City limits. Industrial trips within the City limits are considered to be Chula Vista residents
whom already contribute via their residential fees. Therefore, the City has suggested that only
the "outside" industrial trips be applied to the SDF calculations for the PFDIF program.
Analysis Methodology:
I) Identify predominantly industrial traffic analysis zones (T AZs) within the City of Chula
Vista.
2) Commission SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) to run a combined select
zone model based on the chosen industrial-dominant zones, after removing all non-
industrial land uses from each zone.
3) Based on the model output, identify all industrial trips originating I terminating outside the
City of Chula Vista limits.
4) Calculate the average industrial trip rate per acre from the model.
S) Calculate the Industrial external SDF based on the percentage of "outside" industrial
model trips (as compared to the total number of industrial trips generated by the model).
Katz, Okitsu & Associates worked with the City of Chula Vista Traffic Engineer to identify
industrial-dominant T AZs within the City of Chula Vista limits. Four zones were selected
from different parts of the City as to provide a more global representation of industrial
activity. Collectively, the four zones contain the following industrial land uses: industrial park,
light industry and heavy industry, thereby providing a variety of industrial components and a
range of trip generation rates.
SANDAG produced a combined select zone model for all four industrial-dominant T AZs using
the City of Chula Vista's General Plan Update preferred land use alternative for Buildout
conditions (AltS8c). All non-industrial land uses were removed so that strictly industrial trips
were represented. Average daily traffic volumes from the four zones were distributed
throughout the network. A cordon was identified on the select zone plot to represent the
City boundary. Otay Ranch - University Villages 9 and 10, located in the southeast portion of
14-20

the City of Chula Vista, are not currently included in the City's PFDIF Program. Therefore,
these villages were placed outside of the cordon.
As previously described, trips traveling tolfrom each industrial zone within the City boundary
are considered to be Chula Vista residents whom already contribute via residential impact
fees. Therefore, the total number of industrial trips originating I terminating outside the
cordon was calculated, and then divided over the total number of trips generated by the
model (approximately 37,000 daily trips) to equal the "percentage of outside trips". The
percentage of outside trips was found to be 46%.
In conclusion, the calculated external service demand for industrial development within the
City of Chula Vista's PFDIF program area is 46% of the total industrial service demand.
Sincerely,
Katz, Okitsu & Associates

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 3.50 OF THE
CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO PAY FOR VARIOUS
PUBLIC FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY. OF CHULA
VISTA .
WHEREAS, on January 81h, 1991, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopted
Ordinance No. 2432, establishing the Public Facilities Impact Fee (PFDIF or Impact
Fee); and
WHEREAS, on June 141h, 2005, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopted
Ordinance No. 3010, increasing the PFDIF from $5,048 to $5,480 per single family
dwelling unit; and
WHEREAS, cost estimates for the current list of needed public facilities have been
updated; and
WHEREAS, PFDIF allocation factors have been recalculated using General Plan Fiscal
Impact Model analysis; and
WHEREAS, the Impact Fee is solely based upon that portion of the project costs which
are attributable to new development; and
WHEREAS, the fee increase was developed in conjunction with developers and the
Building Industry Association (BIA); and
WHEREAS, development is considered to take place in accordance with the Phasing
Plan established by the City's Planning Department, which is subject to change
depending on actual development phasing;
WHEREAS, the City's 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,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED, that the City Council of the City Of Chula Vista
does hereby adopt and amend Chapter 3.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating
to development impact fees to pay for various public facilities as follows:
SECTION 1: Findinqs
The City Council finds, after consideration of the evidence presented to it including the
"Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update", that certain
amendments to Chapter 3.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code are necessary in order
to assure that there are sufficient funds available to finance the public facilities
necessary to serve new development within the City of Chula Vista by the development
impact fee; and
14-23
T
The City Council finds, based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, and
consistent with the City's General Plan, that the imposition of public facility impact fees
on all development within the City of Chula Vista for which building permits have not
been issued is necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare by
providing for the public facilities and services to assure effective implementation of the
City's General Plan; and
The City Council finds that the amount of the amended fees levied by this ordinance
does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the public facilities.
SECTION 2: That the existing Ordinance Nos. 2432, 2320, 2554, 2810, 2855 and 2886
are hereby superseded, and Chapter 3.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code is
amended to read as follows:
3.50.010 General intent.
The city's general plan land use and public facilities elements require that adequate
public facilities be available to accommodate increased population created by new
development within the city of Chula Vista.
The city council has determined that new development will create adverse impacts on
the city's existing public facilities which must be mitigated by the financing and
construction of certain public facilities which are the subject of this chapter. New
development contributes to the cumulative burden on these public facilities in direct
relationship to the amount of population generated by the development or the gross
acreage of the commercial or industrial land in the development.
The city council has determined that a reasonable means of financing the public facilities
is to charge a fee on all developments in the city of Chula Vista. Imposition of the public
facilities development impact fee on all new development for which building permits have
not yet been issued is necessary in order to protect the public safety and welfare,
thereby ensuring effective implementation of the city's general plan. (Ord. 2887 S 1,
2002).
3.50.020 Definitions.
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words or phrases shall be construed as

3.50.050 Establishment of fee.
A development impact fee ("fee") is hereby established to pay for the facilities within the
territory. The fee shall be paid upon the issuance of building permits for each
development project within the city of Chula Vista, except that, at the discretion of the
city manager, a developer may prepay all or part of civic center expansion fees that
would be applicable to the developer's future development projects. Prepayment would
occur at the then current rate; however, the developer has sole responsibility for paying
subsequent fee increases resulting from (1) extraordinary project cost increases, or (2)
normal annual adjustments in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or Building Construction
Index (BCI), or (3) extraordinary dwelling unit changes. (Ord. 2887 S 1, 2002).
3.50.060 Determination of fees by land use category.
For purposes of this fee, single-family dwelling units shall include single-family detached
homes and detached condominiums; multifamily dwelling units shall include attached
condominiums, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, and apartments. Commercial/office and
industrial development projects shall be charged on a per acre basis. Development
impact fees for single-family, multifamily, commercial and industrial land uses shall be
based on the demand for service generated by that land use, for each public facility set
forth in CVMC 3.50.030:

The rate for each special land use development project, as defined in CVMC 3.50.020,
shall be equivalent to the commercial/office rate per gross acre of land. The Olympic
Training Center shall be equivalent to the industrial rate per gross acre of land. The rate
for each special purpose project, as defined in CVMC 3.50.020, shall be equivalent to
one-half the commercial/office rate per gross acre of land. The charges shall be those
outlined in CVMC 3.50.090(C). The fee multiplied by the total number of dwelling units or
acres within a given development project represents a developer's fair share ("fair
share") for that development project. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
3.50.070 Time to detenmine amount due.
The fee for each development shall be calculated at the time of building permit issuance
and shall be the amount as indicated at that time, and not when the tentative map or
final map were granted or applied for, or when the building permit plan check was
conducted, or when application was made for the building permit, except that a
developer of a development project providing low- and/or moderate-income housing in
accordance with Section III, Objective 1 of the 1991 housing element of the general plan
may request authorization to prepay or defer the fee for up to 500 equivalent dwelling
units (EDUs) and said request may be approved at the sole discretion of the city
manager. In order to facilitate those low- and/or moderate-income projects which are
planned for construction through March 24, 2005, the fee for said projects shall be the
fee existing as of March 25, 2002. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
3.50.080 Purpose and use of fee.
The fee collected shall be used by the city for the following purposes, in such order and
at such time as determined by the city council:
A. To pay for such of the facilities that the city council determines should be
constructed, installed or purchased at that time, or to reimburse the city for
facilities funded by the city from other sources.
B. To reimburse developers who have been required or permitted by CVMC
3.50.140(A) to construct, install or purchase approved facilities listed in CVMC
3.50.030(C), in such amounts as the council deems appropriate.
C. To repay any and all persons who have, pursuant to prior fee Ordinance Nos.
2320 or 2432, or pursuant to this chapter, advanced or otherwise loaned funds
for the construction of a facility identified herein.
D. To repay the city for administration costs associated with administration of the
fee. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
14-27
T
3.50.090 Amount of fee.
A. The fee shall be the amounts set forth in subsections (8) and (C) of this section.
The fee shall be adjusted, starting on October 1, 2005, and on each October 1st
thereafter, based on the following two indexes:
For the Civic Center expansion, libraries, fire suppression and major recreation
facilities: the Engineering News Record, Building' Construction Cost Index for the
Los Angeles Area. '
For the police, corporation yard, geographic information systems, computer
systems, telecommunications systems, records management and administration
components: The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (San
Diego Metropolitan Statistical Area).
Adjustments of the fee based upon annual changes to these two indexes shall be
automatic and shall not require further action by the city council. The PFDIF may
also be reviewed and amended by the city council as necessary based on
changes in the type, size, location or cost of the facilities to be financed by the
fee; changes in land use designation in the city's general plan; and upon other
sound engineering, financing and planning information. Adjustments to the fee
resulting from these discretionary reviews may be made by resolution amending
this section.
B. The fee shall have portions which are, according to the engineer report, allocated
to a specific facility ("fee components"), which correspond to the costs of the
various facilities, plus the administration cost for the fee", which is a percentage
of the fee GGmponents' GGsl.
C. The fee shall be the following, depending on the land use:
Land Use Fee
Residential - Single-family $M007,891/DU
dwellings
Residential - Multifamily dwellings ~7.477/DU
Commercial/Office $21,7Q725,181/acr

(Ord. 3010 S 1, 2005; Ord. 2887 S 1, 2002).
3.50.100 Development projects exempt from the fee.
14-28
T
A. Development projects by public agencies shall be exempt from the provisions of
the fee if those projects are designed to provide the public service for which the
agency is charged ("public purpose").
B. Community purpose facilities which are not operated for profit ("nonprofit
community purpose facilities") are also exempt inasmuch as these institutions
provide benefit to the community as a whole, including all land use categories
which are the subject matter of the fee. The city council hereby determines that it
is appropriate to spread any impact such nonprofit community purpose facilities
might have to the other land use categories subject to the fee. In the event that a
court determines that the exemption herein extended to community purpose
facilities shall for any reason be invalid, the city council hereby allocates the
nonprofit community purpose facilities' fair share to the city of Chula Vista and
not to any of the land use categories which are the subject matter of the
development impact land use categories.
C. Development projects which are additions or expansions to existing dwelling
units or businesses, except special land use projects, shall be exempt if the
addition or expansion does not result in a net increase in dwelling units or
commercial/industrial acreage. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
3.50.110 Authority for accounting and expenditures.
A. Fees Collected Before the Effective Date of the Ordinance Codified in This
Chapter.
1. All fees which have accrued shall remain in separate accounts
("accounts") corresponding to the facilities listed in CVMC 3.50.030, as
established by the director of finance, and shall only be expended for the
purposes associated with each facility account.
2. The director of finance is authorized to maintain accounts for the various
facilities identified in this chapter and to periodically make expenditures
from the accounts for the purposes set forth herein.
B. Funds Collected On or After the Effective Date of the Ordinance Codified in This
Chapter.
1. The fees collected shall be deposited into a public facility financing fund
("public facilities development impact fee fund," or alternatively herein
"fund"), which is hereby created and shall be expended only for the
purposes set forth in this chapter.
2. The director of finance is authorized to establish a single fund for the
various facilities identified in this chapter and to periodically rnake
expenditures from the fund for the purposes set forth herein. (Ord. 2887
~ 1, 2002).
3.50.120 Findings.
The city council finds that collection of the fee established by this chapter at the time of
the building permit issuance is necessary to provide funds for the facilities and to ensure
certainty in the capital facilities budgeting for growth impacted public facilities. (Ord.
2887 ~ 1, 2002).
3.50.130 Fee additional to other fees and charges.
This fee is in addition to the requirements imposed by other city laws, policies or
regulations relating to the construction or the financing of the construction of public
improvements within subdivisions or developments. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
14-29
T
3.50.135 Mandatory oversizing of facility - Duty to tender reimbursement offer.
Whenever a developer of a development project is required as a condition of approval of
a development permit to cause a facility or a portion of a facility to be built to
accommodate the demands created by the development project, the city may require the
developer to install, purchase or construct the facility according to design specifications
approved by the city, that being with such supplemental size or capacity required by the
city ("oversized capacity requirement"). If such an oversized capacity requirement is
imposed, the city shall offer to reimburse the developer from the fund either in cash or
over time, with interest at the fair market value of money, as fees are collected, at the
option of the city, for costs incurred by the developer for the design and construction of
the facility, not to exceed the estimated cost of that particular facility as included in the
calculation and updating of the fee. The city may update the fee calculation as the city
deems appropriate prior to making such offer. This duty to offer reimbursement shall be
independent of the developer's obligation to pay the fee. (Ord. 2887 ~ 1, 2002).
3.50.140 Developer construction of facilities.
A. Whenever a developer of a development project would be required by application
of city law or policy as a condition of approval of a development permit to
construct or finance a facility, or if a developer proposes to design and construct
a portion of a facility in conjunction with the prosecution of a development project
within the territory, and follows the procedure for doing same hereinbelow set
forth, the city council shall, in the following applicable circumstances, tender only
the credit or reimbursement hereinbelow identified for that circumstance:
1. If the cost of the facility, incurred by the developer and acceptable to the
city, is less than or equal to that portion of the developer's fair share
related to the fee component for that facility, the city may only give a
credit ("developer credit") against that portion of the developer's fair share
related to the fee component for that facility ("fair share of the fee
component"); or

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR JAIL SERVICES WITH THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE FY 2007 POLICE
DEPARTMENT SUPPLIES AND SERVICES BUDGET BASED
UPON UNANTICIPATED REVENUES
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of pOlice~ /ii~ U~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager J 1 (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No _ )
The Police Department has negotiated an agreement with the State of California
Department of Corrections, Division of Adult Parole Operations to house up to 24 State
inmates who will be participating in the In Custody Drug Treatment Program (ICDTP).
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopts the resolution as follows:
. Authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement forjail services with the State of
California Department of Corrections; and
. Appropriating $400,046 to the FY 07 Police Department Supplies and Services
budget based upon unanticipated revenues.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
Because of the significant delays in securing a contract with Federal law enforcement
agencies, staff from the Department have been seeking alternative methods to secure
revenue to the Chula Vista Holding Facility (CVHF). One opportunity that just recently
became available was a contract with the Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO)
for the State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
As a result of a recent Court decision (Valdivia v. Schwarzeneggar), the State was
required to implement an /n Custody Drug Treatment Program (ICDTP).
Representatives from DAPO contacted the CVHF to inquire about the Department's
ability to become a partner with DAPO to conduct ICDTP for the State of California,
Region IV at the CVHF.
The ICDTP is intended for parolees who have committed violations as a result of drug
or alcohol related dependency andlor have a need for a period of confinement and
treatment to get their substance abuse under control. The ICDTP components include a
60-day in-custody, educationally based, drug treatment program, immediately followed
by a mandatory 30-day residential aftercare treatment program which then transitions
16-1
T
Item No lit
Meeting Date 10/24/2006
into a 60-day community based treatment phase. The parolees in this program are non-
violent offenders.
Representatives from DAPO met with the Police Department staff to examine the facility
and start negotiations on bringing an ICDTP to the CVHF. There were only a couple of
issues that needed to be addressed:
1) The number of parolees in the program
2) Changing from a Type I holding facility to a Type II holding facility
3) Identification of a room to hold daily drug treatment program classes
4) Segregation of ICDTP inmates from general population
In addressing these issues, staff developed the following solutions which have all been
accepted by DAPO:
1) BEDSPACE - In order to keep an appropriate number of beds available for
regular prisoners, the ICDTP program will house as many as 24 parolees at
any given time. This will allow Officers to continue to book Chula Vista
prisoners into the remaining 24 beds. This is an adequate number of beds as
the CVHF currently averages 15 occupied beds per day. As the number of
regular prisoners increases in the coming years, the ICDTP will be scaled
back to meet the bed needs of Chula Vista. During the contract period, if the
number of incoming regular prisoners increases beyond the available 24
beds, CVPD Officers will book the overflow prisoners into the Central Jail in
San Diego.
2) JAIL MODIFICATIONS - The CVHF is currently rated as a Type I holding
facility, which means that it is only rated to hold prisoners up to 96 hours.
Because the ICDTP requires inmates to be incarcerated for up to 60 days, the
CVHF will need to be converted into a Type II holding facility. This will require
minor capital improvements to the facility including:
a. adding seating and tables to each cell;
b. adding additional security cameras;
c. converting one of the "sober" cells into a regular cell for two prisoners; and
d. establishing an area for prisoners to have recreation opportunities as well
as having a "day room".
These modifications are minor and will be covered by funds from the first year
of the contract. These enhancements will increase the number of beds in the
CVHF from 46 to 48. As a result, at least half of the facility will be available for
CVPD bookings. The Correctional Standards Authority (formerly known as the
Board of Corrections) has approved CVPD's plan for transitioning to a Type II
holding facility.
3) JAIL CLASSROOM - Since the CVHF utilizes a professional food service
vendor for jail food, the CVHF kitchen will be converted into a classroom and
16-2
Item No Iv
Meeting Date 10/24/2006
day room. This will allow the ICDTP to hold daily classes, as well as serve as
a day room which is required for Type II holding facilities. The day room will
be an area where inmates will be able to go to do reading and generally
spend time outside of their jail cell.
4) PRISONER SEPARATION - The ICDTP requires that all participants in the
program be segregated from the regular CVHF population. This will be
accomplished through the classification system process completed with each
prisoner prior to placement into the facility, including having ICDTP
participants wearing different colored jail clothing. Currently, regular prisoners
in the CVHF wear bright orange overalls. ICDTP participants will wear bright
blue colored overalls. They will also be held entirely in one half of the CVHF
and not be commingled with regular prisoners during break/recreation
periods.
As the only facility in Region IV (comprised of Orange County, San Diego County and
Imperial County) to host such a program, CVPD will be assisting the criminal justice
system to reduce overcrowding as well as providing much needed treatment programs
in order to reduce the recidivism rate for criminals with dependency problems. The State
is actively seeking additional bed space throughout California due to the success of the
ICDTP in other regions. Because of this success, the State of California has put
significant emphasis on expanding this project and Chula Vista will provide much
needed leadership in Region IV. The ICDTP will begin on December 1, 2007.
The total value of this five-year agreement with the State of California will exceed $3.1
million over the life of the contract. The Department will be able to submit contract
increases in order to offset any increases in the cost to provide services to this contract
(subject to State of California approval).
STATE BOOKING FEE REIMBURSEMENT
The Governor recently signed legislation that has temporarily restored booking fee
reimbursement to Cities. This change in State funding will allow the City to receive
direct reimbursement for booking fees. The Department will utilize these
reimbursements to offset the cost of the transportation contract and booking fee costs
with the San Diego Sheriffs. Next fiscal year, the City will no longer be required to pay
booking fees/transportation costs to the County of San Diego. This will save
approximately $300,000 each year in booking fees and transportation costs.
JAIL TRANSPORT/FOOD CONTRACT
On August 23, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-291 which approved a
transportation and court security services agreement with the County of San Diego,
thereby starting operations as a TYPE I holding facility for the Chula Vista Police
Department. Council heard this item but was unable to appropriate the associated funds
because of the number of Council Members present at the meeting. This forced the
Department to delay seeking appropriations as enumerated in Resolution 2005-291,
16-3
T
Item No 10
Meeting Date 10/24/2006
causing the Department to absorb the costs of the holding facility in the Department's
FY 2006 Supplies and Services budget. Staff from the Police Department consulted with
Office of Budget and Analysis staff and decided that because of the uncertainty of
Federal or State jail contracts and the uncertainty of the availability of State booking fee
reimbursements, the Department would further delay the needed appropriations until
these issues were resolved. With the ICDTP contract finalized and the availability of
State booking fee reimbursements, the Department requests appropriations at this time
to properly fund the transportation agreement with the County of San Diego and to also
fund the maintenance agreement for the jail management software. These
appropriations will be fully offset by State Booking Fee reimbursement revenues. These
appropriations are detailed below in the Fiscal Impact section of this report.
The Department will 'also need to appropriate additional funds for jail food for the
increased number of prisoners as a result of the ICDTP contract. This appropriation will
be fully offset by ICDTP contract revenue. These appropriations are detailed below in
the Fiscal Impact section of this report.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Conflict
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict
exists, in that City Council Member Steve Castaneda has property holdings within 500
feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total value for this contract will be approximately $3.1 million over five years. Staff
will be able to apply for periodic contract increases based upon increases in jail costs
(salary/benefit increases). The anticipated revenue from this contract in FY 2007 will be
$402,733. This projection is based upon a 90% occupancy rate (of the 24 beds) over
the life of the contract. In FY 2008, the anticipated revenue will increase to $565,000.
To implement this contract, the Department is requesting an appropriation of $141,400,
including a one-time expenditure of $75,000 for minor improvements to the CVHF and
$66,400 for the additionallCDTP jail food services in FY 2007 with an ongoing expense
of $114,318. These appropriations will be fully offset by the value of the ICDTP contract.
The Department is also seeking an appropriation of $258,646 ($230,400 one-time
appropriation) to address issues detailed in the Departments report to Council on
August 23,2005 (Reso. 2005-291). These appropriations are for the City's contract with
the San Diego County Sheriffs Department for transportation and the yearly
maintenance agreement for automated jail management software. These appropriations
will be fully offset by the State booking fee reimbursement. Next fiscal year, the City will
no longer be required to pay booking fees/transportation costs to the County of San
Diego. This will save approximately $300,000 each year in booking fees and
transportation costs.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONTRACT FOR TRANSPORTATION
AND COURT SECURITY SERVICES WITH THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY
SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT AND AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
TO UPDATE THE BOOKING FEE DEFINITION.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of Police
REVIEWED BY:
City Manager
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No ..x..)
The Police Department and the San Diego County Sheriffs Department have reached a services
contract agreement for the provision of City inmate court related transportation and security services.
The contract allows the Chula Vista City Jail to begin operating as a Type 1 facility, retaining prisoners
until their scheduled arraignment and freeing officers from the majority of prisoner transportation
requirements. The contract is a standard two party agreement that has been approved as to form by
the City Attorney.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approves the contract for services with the San Diego County Sheriffs Department for
transportation and court security services for prisoners from the Chula Vista Police Department and
update the Master Fee Schedule for Booking Fee's.
The Police Departrnent will return to Council at a later date with an additional resolution to appropriate
the funds required to facilitate the contract.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable
BACKGROUND:
Prior to moving into the new police facility, the departrnent operated a three-cell temporary holding
facility which could hold a maximum of 6 inmates, staffed with five Police Services Officers (civilian)
and a minimum of two Police Agents (depending upon coverage needs). This temporary holding
facility was used to detain prisoners for up to eight hours prior to booking into County jail. Officers
provided transportation of the prisoners to County jail. It has been estimated that the equivalent of four
Police Officers time at a cost of $415,000 was spent each year in transporting prisoners to the County
jail. The department received booking fee revenues based upon legislation dating to 1998 from the
State of California of $269,192 each year in order to offset booking costs. The actual booking fees
averaged over the last three fiscal years has been $408,000 which has been paid to the County. As
the San Diego County Sheriff's Office was under court order to reduce crowding in their jail facilities,
only felony and high-risk rnisdemeanants are eligible to be booked into County jail.
When the design for the new police facility was taking place, department staff saw an opportunity to
build an on-site jail facility that would allow the department to not only hold felons and high-risk
misdemeanants, but also other misdemeanants who were involved in lesser crimes which affected the
quality of life in Chula Vista. The concept behind the design of the new jailing facility would be to
operate a Type I holding facility which would allow the department to book these lesser
misdemeanants into the facility and hold them for up to 96 hours prior to arraignment in court.
Although this would be the only facility of this nature in San Diego County, rnost agencies in Los
Angeles and Orange County operate Type I holding facilities very successfully.
16-6
T
Item No
Meeting Date 08/23/2005
Based upon these successful models, the Police Department moved ahead with the design of a 46
bed holding facility which would allow the department increased enforcement opportunities and
greater access to prisoners by department detectives. The department also received inquiries from
both State and Federal law enforcement officials as to the possibility of contracting out bed space to
house State and Federal prisoners as well.
BOOKING PROCESS
In the old facility, when an officer made an arrest, the prisoner was brought into the police station and
placed into one of the three cells. While the prisoner was in the holding facility, officers would
complete the crime reports and a PSO or Police Agent would complete all the booking paperwork
required prior to transport to County jail. Once the paperwork was completed, the officer would then
place the prisoner in the back of his/her police car and transport the prisoner to one of the County jails
(Central Detention Facility in downtown San Diego for males, and Las Colinas in the City of Santee for
females). As was mentioned previously, it was estimated that the time required to transport prisoners
to County jail equated to approximately four Police Officers. This time was captured in the award
winning Patrol Staffing Model which is used to determine the appropriate number of officers needed
based upon a complicated formula capturing call-for-service data and a ratio of committed time to
proactive time.
The new facility was designed to eliminate the need for transporting most prisoners to County jail and
thus saving $415,000 in salary and benefits associated with the transport needs (violent felons and
those prisoners with medical problems would still be booked into County jail). The concept is to book
the prisoners into our Type I Holding facility where they would be held until their arraignment (up to 96
hours). On the day of arraignment, the San Diego County Sheriff's prisoner transport bus would pick
up the prisoners and transport them to South Bay Court. This would allow officers to quickly place the
prisoner into our facility and then return to the street. This saves approximately 90 minutes of officer
time per prisoner as compared with the old facility.
BOOKING FEES
The County of San Diego charges each law enforcement agency $154 per prisoner that is booked into
County jail. The State of California partially reimbursed law enforcement agencies with a booking fee
subvention each year. The City of Chula Vista's average booking fees paid to the County for the iast
three fiscal years was $408,000 per year and the State reimbursement was $269,192 each year.
After the City's budget deliberations were held this year, the Police Department learned that the State
of California has suspended the booking fee subvention to law enforcement agencies. This means
that the City will no longer receive the booking fee reimbursement from the State. This will result in the
loss of $269,192 in anticipated revenues for this and each fiscal year in the future. The State did enact
legislation that limited Counties from charging more than half of what is the actual cost of booking
prisoners. The County will continue to charge the $154 per prisoner booking fee this fiscal year, but
they may increase that amount next fiscal year to realize the full amount of half of the their cost of
booking prisoners into their jails.
As part of the department's original proposal to Council, authorization was given to charge individuals
a booking fee upon conviction to offset the cost of being booked in our holding facility. A fee of $175
was established that would be charged to all individuals who are subsequently convicted of a crime
associated with the original arrest and booking in our facility.

BENEFITS OF A TYPE I HOLDING FACILITY
Operating a Type I holding facility is beneficial to both the police department and the Chula Vista
community. First, there are significant savings in officer time spent transporting prisoners to County
jail. It is estimated that the City would save $415,000 each year in officer salary/benefits by not having
to transport prisoners to County jail. This equates to four officers being able to devote time to fighting
crime rather than transporting prisoners each year. The Patrol Staffing Model has been modified in
anticipation of operating a Type I holding facility. This will mean focir fewer officers required as a result
of the staffing model results. Under the proposed contract, the San Diego County Sheriff's department
would handle almost all transportation of prisoners from our facility to South Bay court. CVPD would
still transport the small number of violent felons and prisoners with medical conditions to County jail.
Second, the new facility is designed to allow greater access to prisoners by detectives while in our
custody. Currently, if a detective wants to interview a prisoner once they have left our facility (usually
after four to six hours), they are required to go to the location that the prisoner is being held and
oftentimes wait long periods of time to actually talk with the prisoner. Further, the facilities available to
detectives at any of the County jail facilities are inadequate for effective prisoner interviews. The new
facility has eleven interview rooms designed specifically for detectives to be able to effectively
interview prisoners while in our custody. And since the prisoners are here for up to 96 hours (72 hours
on average), detectives can interview the prisoners multiple times within the convenience of the
station. In addition, each interview room is equipped with state-of-the-art video and audio recording
equipment allowing other detectives to observe the interviews in another room. This allows a team of
investigators to work together to effectively interview a suspect.
Third, this facility will allow for better utilization of Problem Oriented Policing strategy. State law allows
police to arrest and hold individuals who have committed misdemeanors and are likely to continue
their behavior after being cited. An example of this would be prostitution. Currently, if an officer stops
an individual for prostitution, they are most often cited and released because the offense does not rise
to the level for booking into County jail. The public can reasonably expect the arrestee to return to
their former criminal conduct in a short timeframe. It is not unusual for officers to repeat this cycle of
arrest-cite-release-arrest during their shift. With a Type I holding facility, the department can hold
individuals up to 96 hours then cite and release. This will have a significant impact on offender
sweeps and will allow officers the ability to make substantial impacts on key "quality of life" crimes.
JAIL SERVICES CONTRACTS
During construction of the new building, the department was approached by both Federal and State
law enforcement representatives regarding housing their prisoners in our facility. Based upon our
negotiations with these different agencies, the department estimated that upwards of $700,000 in
revenue could be generated from contracts to house these prisoners. However, the State
representatives have been delayed in their ability to contract with the department in light of the the
State budget. Federal agency representatives were also deterred due to significant reorganization
issues resulting from the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Recent discussions with
representatives at the federal level indicate that they are ready to move ahead with the original plans
to house prisoners at our facility. According to these representatives, they are merely "waiting for
Washington to release the funds."

DISCUSSION:
The department began negotiations with the County of San Diego for prisoner transport and security
at the South Bay Courthouse over a year and a half ago. One of the most significant sticking points
during the negotiations was the booking and transport of misdemeanants. Both the County and the
South Bay Court had serious concerns as to the number of misdemeanants that would be processed
through the system. For that reason, it was agreed that the City would not book misdemeanants into
the system for the initial six months of the contract. Because of this, the City will not be able to realize
the levels of revenues as was initially proposed. The following table details the change in revenue
projections based upon the new contract.
2006 2000 1960
2007 2200 2156
1 Conviction rate based upon County total conviction rates.
2Collection rate based upon State average of booking fee collection rates.
Under the current contract proposal, the City will continue to book only felony and certain serious
misdemeanants (e.g. domestic violence) during the first six months of the contract. Since this is a new
way of doing business for both the County and the Courts, the department will be analyzing detailed
arrest statistics which we believe will show that there will not be a significant increase in the daily
workload based upon the department booking misdemeanants. After the initial six months of the
contract have passed, the department will meet again with the County to further discuss introducing
misdemeanants into the system as was originally proposed.
The department will continue to book misdemeanants who are expected to return to their former
criminal conduct into the holding facility, but will not hold them over for arraignment. They will be
booked into the facility and will be released on their own recognizance after receiving a citation for
their criminal activity. This will assist officers in removing the suspect from the scene of the crime, and
will also more effectively document individuals into the criminal justice system. The following table
details the estimated number of these types of bookings for the next two fiscal years.
The contract sets out an annual fee of $53,911 for transportation services and an $80 per prisoner
court security services charge. This averages out to $110 per booking in comparison to the $154 that
we currently pay for direct booking into County facilities. This would equate to an estimated $198,000
charge to the City for these services rather than the average booking expense of $408,000. This is an
estimated $206,000 savings to the City in booking related fees. As was noted above, coupled with the
salary/benefit savings from not having to have officers transport prisoners to County jail, the total
savings is $621,000 each year to the City under this proposal.

The table below details the revenues and expenditures (in FY 2006 dollars) associated with the jail
facility based upon four scenarios:
. The initial proposal presented to Council on January 13, 2004
. The modified proposal as a result of contract negotiations with the County
. What the cost to the City would be if the department had maintained a three jail cell facility and
same staffing as was in the old police facility
. What the cost to the City is if the department maintains the jail facility "as is" with a reduction in
staff (eliminate Jail Lieutenant, Sr. Office Specialist and foul" Police Service Officers).

2Violent felons and prisoners with medical issues will continue to be booked directly to County Jail.
Although the modified proposal does not meet the anticipated revenue generation of the original
proposal, it continues to be a more fiscally sound method as well as provides a much higher level of
service to the community than if the department were to revert back to how the jail service was
previously conducted.
The original estimate for food service to the jail was obtained from a vendor who ultimately could not
meet the stringent requirements for food preparation and delivery times needed for the jail facility. The
department's best estimate for food service will require additional appropriations in order to obtain an
effective food service contract for the jail. A slight modification to the Booking Fee expenditure (to the
County for violent felons and prisoners with medical issues) will also be needed to meet the expected
number of direct bookings to County jail.

BOOKING FEE
The definition in the Master Fee Schedule of the Booking Fee needs to be modified to refiect the true
intent of the booking fee. As currently written, the definition requires incarceration in the facility in
order to be charged the booking fee. The booking fee is based upon the act of "booking" a prisoner
and not the subsequent housing of the prisoner. State law only allows for the recovery of costs
associated with the booking of the prisoner. Hence, the definition needs to reflect this requirement:
Chapter II, Section C.2.c.
In accordance with California Government Code 29550.3, those individuals who are arrested
by the Chula Vista Police Department and booked detQiA8s in the Chula Vista Police Department
Holding Facility shall be subject to a $175 Booking Fee if convicted of a crime as a result of the arrest
by the Chula Vista Police Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no net impact to the general fund reserves based upon the modified proposal. This
proposal will allow the department to operate as a Type I Holding Facility and start charging the $175
booking fee.

City of Chula Vista
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
Agreement No. P06.4013
Exhibit A
Note: Since ICDTP parolees are usually in custody for only part of the first day, and a part of the last
day, the City shall be reimbursed for the first day only. If a charge for both the first and last day is
submitted, justification for this charge must accompany the claim.
For compensation purposes, ICDTP parolees must be clearly identified and processed using
"H&S 11561 - PC 3056" (male) or "H&S 11563 - PC 3056':'(female) reference. The State shall not
reimburse the City for more than 60 bed days per ICDTP parole'i'
A Per Diem Rate Requirements
The State requires that the City have an approved Daily Jail Rate (DJR) for the City Facility to use
in establishing the contract per diem. DJR guidelines are outlined in the Daily Jail Rate Manual
for Reimbursements under Section 4016.5 of the Penal Code, Section 1776 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code (DJR Manual), which is distributed annually to participating cities and counties
by the CDCR, Fiscal Business Management and Audit Unit. The per diem rate for this Agreement
shall be limited to the same cost factors allowed for the DJR calculation, with the exception of
applicable booking fees and non-routine medical services.
B. Annual Per Diem Rate Reviews
In accordance with the Per Diem Rate Requirements, as defined above, and the DJR Manual, the
City Facility must submit annual DJR Proposals to the CDCR no later than March 1 preceding
each new fiscal year. Guidelines for preparation and submittal of annual DJR Proposals are
detailed in the DJR Manual applicable to each fiscal year and subject to update andlor revision.
A new per diem rate may be negotiated by the City and the State and shall be based on a
weighted average of actual bed usage for allowable expenditures incurred by the City at the City
Facility divided by the total inmate bed days (Average Daily Population x the total number of bed
days) in the prior 12 months
Until a new per diem rate is negotiated between the City and the State, the State shall reimburse
the City at the currently approved contract rate. During thiS time the City must continue to accept
all State ICDTP parolees at the City Facility. If the new rate is higher than the previous rate, the
State agrees to reimburse the City the difference between the new rate and the previous rate for
bed days already reimbursed subsequent to the approved rate change. If the new rate is lower
than the previous rate, the City agrees to a per diem rate adjustment by an amount sufficient to

BACKGROUND
The City enforces a variety of regulations for mobilehome parks, and has recently
increased services to address the recent challenges experienced by mobilehome
residents. Funding for these activities are not eligible under existing grant revenues.
General Fund appropriations are necessary to carry out the comprehensive list of
services identified in this report for mobilehome residents.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the
appropriation of $122,000 to the Services and Supplies Category of the Community
Development Department's budget for Fiscal Year 2007 from the available balance
of the General Fund. Further, staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to
research the feasibility of establishing a mobilehome park registration system and fee
to assist in the implementation of mobilehome park regulations and services.

DISCUSSION
Chula Vista has more than 3,600 mobilehome spaces, :.vhi!=h make up approximately
5% of the City's housing stock. Housing costs for mobilehome living are often lower
than comparable market rate rental units. As such, it is not uncommon to find that
mobilehome parks are home to elderly, disabled or lower income working residents
on a fixed income.
Mobilehomes provide a unique housing arrangement, as many residents own their
own coach, but rent the land space. This distinct situation puts mobilehome owners
in a rare position as both homeowner and tenant. To address concerns this
relationship presents, there are a number of State and local regulations that govern
mobilehome parks, tenancy and closure. The City enforces a variety of regulations
for mobilehome parks, and has recently increased services to address the challenges
in mobilehome living. Funding for these activities are limited as they are not eligible
for most grant revenues. The revenue previously anticipated to offset these costs is not
eligible and will not be realized in the current fiscal year.
ONE-TIME/PILOT PROGRAM EXPENSES
Given recent concerns about potential displacement of mobilehome residents, the
City Council has directed Community Development to respond to issues and devote
resources to assisting residents. The Community Development Department initiated
the following activities, but needs adequate appropriations to cover the one-time
unanticipated expenses.
Relocation Consultant ($12,000)
Community Development staff has contracted with a third party relocation consultant
to help provide a more effective safety net specifically for Jade Bay residents.
Assistance is needed to determine age, income, family size to assist residents with
realistic housing alternatives. Mecky Myers, a highly regarded relocation specialist,
will provide these services to Jade Bay residents.
Bankruptcy Attorney ($40,000)
Per Council Direction, the law firm of Pyle, Sims, Duncan & Stevenson was hired to
monitor the Jade Bay Mobile Lodge bankruptcy hearing process, attend hearings,
and analyze the proceedings for their potential impact on the City. To date, these
legal expenses have exceeded $31,000. In order to provide the same level of
expertise and attendance over the upcoming months, it is estimated that the legal
costs may reach $40,000.

MEETING DATE:

10/24/06
Mobilehome Ombudsman ($34,000)
Community Development staff has interviewed and selected a consultant to act as the
Mobilehome Liaison. This function would provide general liaison services between
tenants and park owners, and help to mediate disputes rel~ting to rent increases and
other issues. The selected firm Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) would also provide
community education and awareness seminars on tenant/landlord rights and
responsibilities, as well as develop educational literature on local and state
mobilehome residency laws and rent review processes.
RECURRING EXPENSES
Since 1982, the City has enforced a Rent Review Ordinance found in Chula Vista
Municipal Code (CYMC) 9.50. The ordinance is in place to protect mobilehome
owners' investments in their home while providing a reasonable return to the park
owner. The revenue previously anticipated to offset these costs is not eligible and will
not be realized in the current fiscal year.
Mobilehome Rent Review Third Party Consultant ($36,000)
The Mobilehome Rent Review Commission requested Community Development staff
hire a third party consultant to conduct a fair return analysis on the Bayscene
Mobilehome Park. This analysis was conducted and provided valuable information
that assisted the Commission in the August 2006 Bayscene hearing. Recently, the
Mobilehome Rent Review Commission requested a third party analysis for the
Brentwood Mobilehome Park, where approximately half of the park has received rent
increase notices. The current allocation needed to pay for these analyses is $24,000
($12,000 per case). Future allocations may be required, but are not known at this
time. Therefare a request for appropriations to serve one additional case is
recommended.
Mobilehome Rent Review Staff ($90,000)
Community Development and City Attorney staff enforce the City Rent Review
Ordinance (CYMC 9.50) and provide support for the Mobilehome Rent Review
Commission. These roles represent a significant amount of staff time. No
appropriations are necessary as staff costs are already budgeted. However, the
revenue previously anticipated to offset these costs is not eligible for this purpose and
will not be realized in the current fiscal year, resulting in an impact to the General
Fund.
Additional Expenses
Several other expenses incurred as a result of Council direction include: 1)
developing, producing ond distributing a "Relocation Resources Guide" for residents

displaced by mobilehome park closures, condominium conversions, etc. ($1,000);
and 2) using Spanish interpreters when needed at Mobile Home Rent Review
Commission meetings ($1,000). The Community DeveloP'1lent Department was able
to absorb these smaller costs in the existing budget.
MOBILEHOME PARK REGISTRATION SYSTEM
Several jurisdictions throughout the State require mobilehome park owners to register
all spaces that are regulated and non-regulated (long-term leases) under the
jurisdiction's rent review/control ordinance. This registration process requires park
owners to make an initial registration identifying the number of spaces within the park
and provide an update annually. In addition, the annual registration would be a
requirement for the park owner to be eligible for any rent increase applications. All
spaces subject to the rent review process under the jurisdiction's ordinance would be
subject to a registration fee payable to the City by the park owner. Exempt spaces
(those on long-term leases) would require reporting but not be subject to a fee. Half
of such fee (or a maximum as determined by City Council) could be permitted as a
pass-through to residents [i.e. if 2,000 regulated spaces were required to pay $50
annually ($25 annually or $2.08 monthly per resident) this would generate $100,000
of funding]. Should the City Council be interested in establishing such a system, staff
will research and return to the City Council with details for consideration.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it
is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(0)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
All of the services listed in this report will create an impact to the City's General Fund.
The revenue previously anticipated to offset the ongoing costs of enforcing the City's
Mobilehome Rent Review Ordinance will not be available, resulting in an impact to
the General Fund. In fiscal year 2007, the anticipated net impact to the General Fund
is approximately $212,000, with additional appropriations being requested in the
amount of $122,000. The remaining $90,000 represents a decrease in anticipated
revenue for staff time reimbursements. . In fiscal year 2008, the anticipated ongoing
impacts are $131,000.
If established in the future, revenues from a mobilehome park registration system
could offset some of the General Fund impacts
