That Council/Redevelopment Agency reconsider and adopt the resolution approving the
Addendum to Letter of Intent By and Among San Diego Unified Port District, City of
Chula Vista, Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, and Gaylord
Entertainment Company Concerning Bayfront Hotel, Convention Center and Ancillary
Development and authorize the City Manager/Executive Director to sign the Addendum
to the Letter of Intent on behalf of the City and the Redevelopment Agency.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
This docket item, which proposes to incorporate new language into the Letter of Intent
(LOI) between the Port, City, Redevelopment Agency and Gaylord Entertainment
concerning the Chula Vista Bayfront, was included in the Council/Redevelopment
Agency Consent Calendar on October 10, 2006 (Attachment A). The original LOI was
approved by Council/Redevelopment Agency on July 25, 2006, at which time the

r
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 11/07/2006
Council/Redevelopment Agency included in their motion a request for staff to return with
specific language that could be incorporated into the LOI which would express the
Council/Redevelopment Agency's intent to promote job quality and priority for local
workforce, to protect environmental resources, and to c9ntinue public involvement in the
Gaylord project. ,
,
The financing proposed within the LOI has the potential to impact both the Bayfront and
Towne Center I redevelopment project areas. Councilmember Castaneda lives within
500 feet of the Town Center I redevelopment project area. Because the financing terms
had not been determined and whether there could be an impact to the Town Center I
redevelopment area could not be ascertained, Councilman Castaneda abstained from
voting on the original LOI. During approval of the consent calendar that included this
docket item adding the Council's requested new language into the LOI, a vote by the
Councilman was inadvertently recorded. Out of an abundance of caution, as the
financing terms are still uncertain and the presence of a conflict cannot be determined,
staff is returning this item to Council for reconsideration.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
,
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency Board Members and has found a conflict, in that Council/Agency Board Member
Castaneda has holdings within 500' of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the proposed Addendum.

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