BACKGROUND
The City Council established the original Otay Ranch Pedestrian Bridge Development
Impact Fee (Ped Bridge DIF) on Janu3ll"Y 5, 1999 by Ordinance 2767. The original Ped
Bridge DIF was set up to fund the construction of a first bridge between Villages One and
4-1
02/13/07, Item~
Page 2 of5
Five over La Media Road ("North La iMedia Bridge"), half of a second bridge between
Villages One and Two over Olympic Ilarkway ("West Olympic Pkwy Bridge"), and half
of a third bridge between Villages Flive and Six also over Olympic Parkway ("East
Olympic Pkwy Bridge"). On January t, 2003, by Ordinance No. 2892, the City Council
amended the original Ped Bridge DIF 0 include Otay Ranch Village Six's fair share of
bridge improvements of half of the East Olympic Pkwy Bridge and half of a fourth bridge
over La Media Road between Villag~ Six and Two ("South La Media Bridge"). This
fourth bridge completes a continuous IVillage Pathway loop between all four Villages.
North La Media Bridge has been c~pleted by the McMillin Companies and is in
service, West Olympic Pkwy Bridg~ and East Olympic Pkwy Bridge have been
,
completed by the Otay Ranch Compa1j.y and are in service. Otay Ranch Company, as
part of Village Two development, will ~onstruct the South La Media Bridge.
Tonight, Council will consider the adoJl>tion of an Ordinance to amend Pedestrian Bridge
Ordinance No. 2892, to include Village!Two's fair share of bridge improvements. The fee
is payable at issuance of building permils. The public hearing has been duly noticed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coorditjator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California EnviroI1rnental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as ~efined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Sectipn 15060( c )(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the
activity is not subject to CEQA. .
RECOMMENDATION
That Council:
I. Conduct the Public Hearing;
2. Approve the Resolution acceptiqg the report prepared by Development Planning
and Financing Group (Ped Bridge Report);
3. Adopt the Ordinance amending prdinance No. 2892 relating to Pedestrian Bridge
Development Impact Fee and A~ea of Benefit for Otay Ranch Villages One, Five,
and Six to include Village Twol to pay for pedestrian bridge improvements as a
condition of issuance of buildin~ permits (first reading);
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOM~ENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Otay Ranch Village Two is located south of Olympic Parkway (Poggi Canyon), west of
La Media Road, and north of Wolf Canyon. The Village Two tentative map requires the
Developer to form a Pedestrian Bridge IDIF program or annex to an existing program's
"Area Benefit" in order to complete the financing for their half of the two Pedestrian
Bridges (the West Olympic Pkwy Brid~e and South La Media Bridge) and secure the
4-2

Page 3 of5
construction of both bridges prior to approval of the First Final "B" Map for Otay Ranch
Village Two (See attached Exhibit 1 showing these bridges). The other halves of these
bridges have been funded by the adjace~t projects: South La Media Bridge by Village Six
and West Olympic Pkwy Bridge by Vi~ages One and Five. The original Ped Bridge DIF
Ordinance 2767 covers Villages One at/.d Five. It was established to fund one full bridge
(the now completed North La Media ~oad Bridge) and two half bridges, East Olympic
Pkwy Bridge and the West Olympic PkivY Bridge.
On January 7, 2003, by Ordinance N<il. 2892, City Council amended the original Ped
Bridge DIF to include Otay Ranch Village Six's fair share of bridge improvements of
half of the East Olympic Pkwy Bridge 4nd half of South La Media Bridge which was not
identified in the original DIF ordinance! The balance as of January 9, 2007 in the DIF is
about $1,746,247. Staff, together with Ithe Otay Ranch Company, is proposing to revise
the existing modified DIF by expandipg the Area of Benefit to include Village Two.
Funds collected at issuance of building permits in Village Two would be added to the
balance and would contribute to the con~truction of all remaining bridges.
There are two other bridges planned $thin the eastern territories. One over Eastlake
Parkway, which will connect the pedestpan trail system within the Eastern Urban Center
to the pedestrian trail system within Qtay Ranch Village II The second, over Hunte
Parkway, will connect the pedestrian trail system within Otay Ranch Village II to a
future pedestrian trail system within Qtay Ranch Village 10 (University Village). On
February 18, 2003 by Ordinance No. 2~98, City Council approved the Pedestrian Bridge
DIF for Otay Ranch Village 1 I to fim\nce the construction of these two bridges. This
Ordinance was amended on August 2~, 2005 by Ordinance No. 3017 to account for
construction costs increases of the pedestrian facilities.
Pedestrian Bridge Report
The original Pedestrian Bridge Developtnent Impact Fee Report (Report) was updated on
December 17, 2002 to include Villag~ Six and construction of the South La Media
Bridge, to revise the construction cos~ estimates for the other remaining bridges and
establish the new fee. Development Pljuming and Financing Group, who also wrote the
original report, prepared the updated Ri::port, dated February 6, 2007 to include Village
Two. The Report was prepared at the ~xpense of the developers and has been reviewed
by the City Attorney and the Engineeri4g Department. The Report is attached as Exhibit
3.
The Report contains a revised total c<l>st estimate for the South La Media Bridge of
$2,582,889 and the actual construction icost for West Olympic Pkwy and East Olympic
Parkway Bridges: $2,663,045 and $1,6$2,312 respectively. The fee, payable at issuance
of a building permit, will be $1,114 pe~ single-family detached (SFD) dwelling unit and
$826 per multiple-family (MF) dwelling. This represents an increase in the fee from the
current $783 SFD, $580 MF rates, established on December 17,2002.
The report also outlines in greater detail the methodology used to develop the Pedestrian
Bridge Development Impact Fee. In ilhort, the fee is based on people per household
4-3
,
,
!
factors similar to the Park ACqUisit~" n and Development fee ("PAD") as used in
Municipal Code 17.10 where househo ds with larger numbers of people per household
inure greater benefit than smaller hous holds. The people per household factors used for
the Pedestrian Bridge Development Ifpact Fee are 3.52 for single-family detached
dwellings and 2.61 for multifamily dielling units. The methodology has not changed
with this amendment. ,

Area of Benefit ,
The Area of Benefit of the updated Ped IBridge DIF will include all of Villages One, Five,
Six and Two (see Exhibit 2). There are approximately 1300 single-family units and 1425
multi-family units and 60 mixed-use $its in Village Two that would be subject to the
new fees. '
I .
Pedestrian Bridges and Village Connec*.Y.i!y
The planned pedestrian bridges of Ota)l Ranch, Villages One, Five, Six, and Two are an
integral part of the Village Pathway that forms a loop through these Villages. The Village
Pathway provides pedestrians, bicycles! and carts with a route that is separated from the
major roadways of this part of Otay ~anch. The bridges and the Pathway support the
pedestrian orientation of these Village~' and tie them together with a continuous and safe
way to cross the six lanes of Olym ic Parkway and La Media Road. Due to each
individual bridge being part of a whole ystem, each Village derives a benefit from all the
bridges in proportion to the number of nits in that Village. Therefore, by expanding the
Ped Bridge DIF to include Village Two one overall bridge funding mechanism is created
that spreads the cost more equitably an reflects the proportional benefit derived by each
Village. '
MEETINGS WITH THE MASTER qEVELOPERS
,
I
Staff has had meetings with the Otay ~anch Company to discuss the Pedestrian Bridge
Development Impact Fee Program for qtay Ranch Village Two. The Developer does not
object to the proposed modified Pedestrjan DIF.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdin$s of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the bound<1fies of the property, which is the subject of this
action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Ped Bridge Development Impact F 'e, as is the case for all of the City's Development
Impact Fees, is maintained separately fr m the General Fund. The Developers have paid
for all costs related to this update inclu ing the preparation of the Report. The fair share
maintenance costs associated with all tay Ranch pedestrian bridges are funded by the
Community Facilities Districts in which they are located.

1. Background and Purpose of iRe port
i
The Pedestrian Bridge Development! Impact Fee Report ("Report") is being prepared at
the request of Otay Project, LLCi ("Otay Ranch Company"). In connection with
developing residential and non-residential property in Village 2, the Otay Ranch
Company is currently conditioned or iwill be conditioned through the mapping process to
construct two pedestrian bridges.
It is the City of Chula Vista's ("City!') intent that Village 2 be annexed into the existing
Pedestrian Bridge Development Imp~ct Fee District ("PBDIFD") adopted on January 5,
1999 for Villages I and 5 and modi~ed on December 17, 2002 to include Village 6 and
that the cost of the additional two I pedestrian bridges be shared among the various
beneficiaries of such bridges. The~. rpose of the Report is to determine an appropriate
pedestrian bridge development impac fee based on the cost of the pedestrian bridges, the
area of benefit, the type of land use d its corresponding benefit. The bridges described
in this Report are considered an additional facility need of the City arising as a result of
new development. Government CoUe Section 66000 requires that a City establish a
reasonable relationship or "nexus'r between a development project or class of
development projects, and the public I improvements for which a development impact fee
is charged.
To meet the requirements of Gover\unent Code 66000, the Report must demonstrate
compliance with the following items: i
o Identify the purpose of thei fee;
o Identify the use to which tlJ.e fee will be put;
o Determine how there is a! reasonable relationship between the fee's use and
the type of development project on which the fee is imposed (i.e., a "type"
nexus); and
o Determine how there is l' reasonable relationship between the need for the
public facility and the pe of development project on which the fee is
imposed (i.e., a "burden" exus). In addition, when a city imposes a fee as a
condition of developmeqt approval, it must determine how there is a
reasonable relationship bdtween the amount of the fee and the cost of the
public facility or portion bf that facility attributable to the development on
which the fee is imposed. '
Government Code Section 66000 ajIso requires that a public agency segregate and
account for the fees received separat~ from the general fund. Additionally, if a public
agency has had possession of a d~eloper fee for five years or more and has not
committed or expended the funds for ia public facility, then the public agency must make
a finding describing the continuing n~ed for the fees each fiscal year after the five year
period has expired.

2. Description of Pedestrian Bridges and Cost Estimates
The pedestrian bridges included withinl this Report are described as follows: (i) South La
Media and (ii) West Olympic Parkway] The North La Media which is part of the existing
PBDIFD has been completed and fullYlfunded. The East Olympic Parkway Bridge which
is also part of the PBDIFD is near fompletion and sufficient funding is in place to
reimburse the Otay Ranch Company f~r the construction. The location of each bridge is
depicted on the map attached to this ~eport as Exhibit I. Also, included on the map in
Exhibit 1 is the Village I, 2, 5 and 6 p~thway systems and its linkage with the pedestrian
bridges described in this Report. A sJjmmary of the total estimated cost of constructing
each bridge remaining to be constructe~, including soft cost are summarized as follows:
, South La West Olympic
Media Bridee Pky. Bridee
Total Hard & Soft Cost I $2582889 $2 663 045
The preliminary cost estimate for the! South La Media Bridge was prepared by Simon
Wong Engineering. The West Olympic Parkway Bridge is near completion and near
final costs are assumed. The two Ibridges will be constructed using cast-in-place
reinforced concrete. Aesthetic featur~s include columns and abutments with simulated
stone fascia, rectangular columns with a 2-way taper, walkway accent lighting and
concrete stain on exposed concrete surJ\aces. The South La Media Bridge is planned to be
13 feet wide with a 10 foot wide wal~ay, a total vertical clearance of 18 feet 6 inches,
and 474 feet in length. The West Oly~pic Parkway Bridge is planned to be 17 feet wide
and 450 feet in length. A hard cost cimtingency factor of 25% has been applied to the
South La Media Bridge.
The design cost includes the cost of ~reparing design-related plans, including the cost
associated with checking and revie~ing such plans. The construction and special
inspection cost includes the City inspe~tion cost and the cost of retaining an outside firm
with special experience in bridge insp~ctions. The project administration cost includes
the City's cost associated with verifyIng and auditing bridge expenditures and related
documentation. The program administtation cost includes the City's cost associated with
monitoring and updating this fee progr~m including, but not limited to, tracking building
permits and changes in land use, colle4ting the fee, and revising cost estimates to ensure
the adequacy of this fee program. '
3. Area of Benefit
The Otay Ranch Villages 1,2,5 and 6iSectional Planning Areas ("SPA's") Plan - Parks,
Recreation, Open Space, and Trails ~aster Plan has been designed, in part, to promote
the use of transit (bus and light rail), Pfdestrian and bicycle trails as alternatives to using
an automobile to access the village cor~ and to neighboring SPA's which will serve as the
commercial hub for Villages I, 2, 5 aIjd 6. Village 1 and 5 have been developed with a
village core and Village 2 is planned t~ contain village core land use components similar
to Village 6. A map depicting the G~neral Development Plan land uses, including the
village core of Villages I and 5, Village 2 and Village 6 is enclosed in Exhibit 2.
Village 2

Pedestrian trails have also been desi~ned to provide access to schools, parks, residential
neighborhoods, and open space wIthin villages, as well as between SPA's. The
pedestrian bridges described in this j Report are an integral part of the pedestrian trail
system for the system to operate as ddsigned.
The South La Media Bridge cross~s La Media Road about equal distance between
Olympic Parkway and Birch Road. i This bridge serves to connect the pedestrian trail
system in Village 6 to the planned p9destrian trail system in Village 2. Village 2 is also
planned to have its own pedestrian rail system serving its village core, schools, parks,
neighborhoods, and open space. L~d within Villages 2 and 6 will benefit from the
installation of this bridge primarily dtje to: (i) its location and proximity to the bridge, and
(ii) its ease of access to the bridge ba~ed on the trail configuration.
The West Olympic Parkway Bridge !crosses Olympic Parkway between Heritage Road
and La Media Road and serves to 40nnect the existing pedestrian trail system within
Village I to the planned pedestrian ~ail system within Village 2. Land within Village I
and Village 2 will benefit from the !installation of this bridge primarily due to: (i) its
location and proximity to the bridge, ~nd (ii) its ease of access to the bridge based on the
trail configuration.
A summary of the two pedestrian bri1ges and the three areas of benefit ("AOB") based
on the discussion above are as follows.

4. Development within the Are~ of Benefit
The property within the AOB des~ribed in this Report is in various stages of the
entitlement process. Property within jthe AOB has development approvals ranging from
General Plan Designation to complqted homes. An "A" Map allows the transfer of
ownership of individual neighborhoo~ areas. A "B" Map functions as a final map and
allows property owners to obtain bui*ing permits and create individual lots. The current
entitlement status and land use for pnjPerty within the AOB by ownership, is as follows:
Otay Ranch Company:
.. Villal!:e I: This area is coJinplete and consists of 2,786 residential units, with
approximately 1,565 singl~-family units and 1,221 multi-family units.
.. Villal!:e 5: This area is coJinplete and consists of 1,326 residential units, with
approximately 944 single-~amily units and 382 multi-family units.
.. Villal!:e 6: This area is neat completion and consists of 443 single-family units
and 1,048 multi-family uni(ts.
Village 2

~ Village 2: Has an approv~d tentative tract map. The land uses in the tentative
tract map consist of apprqximately 2,785 residential units, with approximately
1,300 single-family units, 1 1,425 multi-family units and 60 mixed use units.
,
McMillin:
~ Village 5: The development of this area is completed and consists of 1,526
residential units, 2.8 acre~ of commercial, 13.5 acres of parks and a 10 acre
school site.
~ Village 6: This area is ccpmplete and consists of 482 single-family units and
212 multi-family units, III acres of community purpose facility, and a 37.6
acre school site.
The approved tentative tract map lan4 uses for Village 2 for residential dwelling units and
non-residential acres and the remainipg units are described in greater detail in Exhibit 3.
The land use assumptions in Exhibit ~ will serve as the basis for allocating the benefit of
the remaining pedestrian bridges iIil determining the pedestrian bridge development
impact fee in this Report.
The residential land uses within Vill~ge 2 will have different degrees of benefit from the
installation of the pedestrian bridges.1 Residential units containing larger square footage
will typically hold more people PCil' household than the residential units containing
smaller square footage. As such, r~sidential units with a larger number of people per
household will inure greater benefit !from using the pedestrian trail system and its two
bridges than residential units with a $maller number of people per household. The City
utilizes people per household factor~ ("PPHF") in determining the amount of parkland
dedication required by new developIjoent projects pursuant to City Ordinance, Chapter
17.10, as modified and approved onlNovember 12, 2002. The PPHF used in Chapter
17.1 0 can serve as a reasonable m4thod of allocating the bridge benefit to different
residential uses. Chapter 17.10.040 applies PPHF to the following residential uses:
3.52
2.61
er household
er household
,
F or purposes of clarification and the ~ase of program administration, we have developed
the following definitions for the abov~ mentioned residential land use categories:
"SFD" means a single residential unit!on a single assessor's parcel in within a tract with a
density of less than or equal tol8 residential units per acre.
"MF" means any residential unit witJllin a tract with a density greater than 8 residential
units per acre or any residential! unit within a mixed-use project.
For purposes of allocating the bridg~ benefit to different types of residential uses, the
PPHF's described in the preceding 1able were used in this Report. The Otay Ranch
Company has provided, as noted in !Exhibit 3, the estimated residential product types
anticipated to be developed for each planning area.
Village 2

The non-residential property consis~ing of mixed use, community purpose facility,
schools, and parks is considered to in\lre insignificant benefit from the installation of the
two bridges. A small number of en:)ployees related to the mixed use and community
purpose facility uses may utilize the pj:destrian trail system and its two bridges for fitness
and recreation purposes during and after work hours, however the degree of this use and
benefit inured to these types of properties is considered immaterial and insignificant. The
school and park uses are designed to ~erve and accommodate the residential users in the
villages. These land uses do not gene~ate pedestrian trail users, instead their purpose is to
serve or accommodate the residential users in the villages. As such, non-residential
component of mixed use, community purpose facility, school and park uses within
Village 2 are considered exempt from the pedestrian bridge fee obligation described in
this Report.
5. Pedestrian Bridge Developm~mt Impact Fee Methodology
The Steps or methodology used to de'1e1op the pedestrian bridge development impact fee
applicable to residential units within \lillage 2 is as follows:
Step I: Determine the total cOl1istruction cost estimate for each of the remaining
bridges.
Step 2: Determine the amount of!available funds from the existing PBDIFR and any
funds remaining in the constructidn funds of Community Facilities District No. 99-1,
2001-2 and 08-1.
Step 3: Subtract from the total ~onstruction cost estimate in Step I the available
funds determined in Step 2 to det~rmine for each bridge the net bridge cost estimate
allocable to Village 2.
Step 4: For each bridge and corresponding AOB, determine the total number of
people per planning area by mul~iplying the actual and/or planned residential units
within the planning area by the aPJPlicable PPHF.
Step 5: For each bridge and cor:esponding AOB, determine the total number of
people within the AOB by summi*g the results of each planning area from Step 4.
Step 6: For each bridge and corre~ponding AOB, determine the bridge cost allocable
to a planning area by multiplying ithe applicable bridge cost in Step 4 by the fraction
obtained by dividing the total nur(nber of people per planning area as determined in
Step 4 by the total number ofpeo~le within the AOB as determined in Step 5.
Step 7: For each bridge and cOljresponding AOB, determine the applicable bridge
cost per residential unit by dividiJIlg the bridge cost allocable to the planning area as
determined in Step 6 by the actual and/or planned residential units within each
planning area.

Step 8: For each bridge and corr~sponding AOB, determine the combined cost of all
bridges per residential unit by aggregating the results of Step 7 for all bridges and
related AOB.
Exhibit 3 outlines on a detailed baiSis the methodology used to calculate the pedestrian
bridge development impact fee ap~licable to residential units within Village 2.
6. Implementation of Pedestria~ Bridge Development Impact Fee
The City Council may periodicall~ review the adequacy of the pedestrian bridge'
development impact fee established i$ this Report and the attached Ordinance. The City
Council, by resolution, may adjust t!he amount of this pedestrian bridge development
impact fee, as necessary, to reflect changes in: (i) the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index, (ii) the coJt of the pedestrian bridges, and (iii) the land use
assumptions used in this Report. the pedestrian bridge development impact fee is
required to be paid upon the issuance ~f a building permit.
A developer may request authorizati~m from the City to construct one or more of the
pedestrian bridges. Upon application by a developer to construct a pedestrian bridge, an
agreement shall be prepared for City Council action which contains at least the following
information and requirements:
a) A detailed description oftIte project, including a preliminary cost estimate;
b) The developer shall: (i) prepare plans and specifications for approval by the
City, (ii) secure and dedicate any right-of-way required for the project, (iii)
secure all required perrriits, environmental clearances necessary for the
construction of the project, (iv) provide performance bonds, and (v) pay all
City fees and costs; .
c) The developer shall advanfe all necessary funds to construct the project. The
City will not be responsibl~ for any construction costs beyond those agreed to
in advance by the City of*yond any change orders approved by the City;
d) The developer shall secure,at least three (3) qualified bids for the construction.
Any extra work charg~s during construction shall be justified and
documented;
e) When all work has been completed to the satisfaction of the City, the
developer shall submit v~rification to the City of payments made for the
construction. The City Manager shall make the final determination on
expenditures eligible for credit or cash reimbursement;
f) The City shall inspect all! construction and verify quantities, in accordance
with the City and state co~e, to ensure the final improvement complies with
all applicable standards apd is constructed to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer; ,

g) The developer will receiv~ a credit against the required development impact
fees during the issuance o~ building permits for the proposed development. If
the total construction c~st amounts to more than the total required
development impact fees, ithe developer will be paid the excess cash when
funds are available as deterimined by the City Manager.
The revised ordinance attached hereip as Exhibit 4 addresses, among other things, the
developer construction of the pedestrian bridge(s), the pedestrian bridge development
impact fee, the procedure for waiverl or reduction of the development impact fee, and
exemptions. With the adoption of tjIe pedestrian bridge development impact fee, the
following development impact fees id4ntified in Exhibit 4 would apply.
