CENTER LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
AREA-In November 1992, the Agency approved a Disposition and Development
Agreement for the construction of the Palomar Trolley Center located on Palomar Street
between Broadway and the Palomar Trolley Station. The project included the
construction of a main building and five separate building pads. The main building and 4
of the pads are occupied. C&L Restaurant Group is proposing to develop the remaining
pad. In accordance with conditions imposed on the project at the time of approval in
1993, the design plans have been reviewed and approved by the Design Review

Agency's jurisdiction that is no~t an item on this agenda. (State law, however, generally prohibits the Redevelopment
Agency from taking action on any issues not included on the posted agenda.) lf you wish to address the Agency on such a

3. RESOLUTION 1619, APPROVING REPAYMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
LOANS IN THE AIMOUNT OF $218,312 FOR AGENCY-OWNED SPACES AT ORANGE
TREE MOBILE HOME PARK.
In November 1987, Orange Tree Mobile Home Park converted to resident ownership. The
Agency assisted the residents in purchasing their park with a $600,000 acquisition loan which
was converted to loans for lower income residents to help them purchase their spaces~ At that
time, 29 residents did not wish to purchase their space, and the Agency agreed to purchase
these spaces after the newly-formed homeowner's association was unable to secure financing
to purchase these unsold spaces. The residents who did not purchase their spaces remained as
renters. The Agency has sold spaces since that time and currently owns 13. A loan repayment
of $218,312 is necessary to repay the outstanding loan on the remaining 13 spaces. Staff
recommends repaying the Redevelopment Agency loans ~ince the rate of interest being charged
on these loans is 11.5%. Funds to repay the Agency loans are available in the Orange Tree
Mobile Home Park Warehouse account.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM NO. ~
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
ITEM TITLE-' RESOLUTION //~'~'~%' APPROVING DESIGN PLANS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,104 SQUARE FOOT FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
WITH DRIVE-THRU AT THE PALOMAR TROLLEY CENTER LOCATED
WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
SUBMI'I'FED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOpMEN~CTOR~ ~
REVlEI,VED BY.' CITYMANAGER"~/'~'I(4/S*m'"VOTE: YF.s__ NO]()
On November 10, 1992, the Redevelopment Agency approved a Disposition and Development Agreement for the
construction of the Palomar Trolley Center located on Palomar Street between Broadway and the Palomar Trolley
Station. In April 1993, the Design Review Committee and the Redevelopment Agency approved the site and design plans
for the project. The project included the construction of an in-line building and five separate building pads totaling
approximately 190,000 square feet of space. The main building and four of the pads were completed and occupied by
1996. The building pad that remains to be developed is located at the west-end of the retail center next to the Palomar
Trolley Station. This pamel, which is semi-developed with a parking lot and landscaped areas, is now being proposed for
development by the C & L Restaurant Group. A condition imposed on the project at time of approval in 1993
required that the design plans for the building pads would be reviewed and approved by the Design Review
Committee and the Redevelopment Agency prior to construction.
The C & L Restaurant Group proposes to construct a Del Taco Fast Food restaurant. The proposed restaurant building is
2,104 square feet in area and has a capacity for 47 dining patrons. The project includes the construction of a drive-thru
lane, a trash enclosure, and landscaped areas. The existing parking lot with approximately 47 parking spaces will remain
in its current condition while the landscaped areas will be enhanced by the project. The concept of developing this site
with a drive-thru restaurant was included in the plans approved by the Design Review Committee and Redevelopment
Agency in April 1993. The specific design plans for the drive-thru restaurant are now being presented to the Agency for
consideration.
The proposed land use is allowed under the General Plan, Montgomery Specific Plan, Southwest Redevelopment Plan
and Zoning Ordinance. The City's Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the project and determined that it is a
Class 3(c) Categorical Exception as a new construction of less than 10,000 sq. ft. pursuant to the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Staff recommends that the Agency adopt the resolution approving the design plans for the construction of the 2,104 square
foot restaurant at the Palomar Trolley Center as shown in Exhibit A and subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B.
PAGE 2~ ITEM ~
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
The Design Review Committee reviewed the proposed project at its meetings of February 15, March 1, and March 15,
1999 and recommended approval of the design plans as described in Exhibit A and subject to the conditions listed in
Exhibit B (see minutes attached).
SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The subject parcel is located at the extreme west of the Palomar Trolley Center, adjacent to the Palomar Trolley Station, and
next to Palomar Street. To the south and east of the subject pamel is the rest of the Palomar Trolley center; to the north across
Palomar Street is another commercial and warehousing center. Cutting across the subject pamel is a wide SDG&E utility
easement. To the south of the subject parcel is a pedestrian walkway that connects the Trolley Station with the retail center.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The proposed project consists of the construction of a 2,104 square foot Del Taco Restaurant with the usual appurtenances
including the dining area with 47 seats, the kitchen, service counter, office space, storage areas, restrooms, etc. The project
also includes the construction of a drive-thru lane that wraps around the south-east and north sides of the building. Cimulation
through the drive-thru lane will be from one to the other side of the parking lot; automobiles cimulating on the drive-thru will not
go directly onto Palomar Street.

LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
As shown in the previous table, the subject property has General Plan and zoning designations for Retail commemial uses.
In addition the site is surrounded by retail commercial uses which allow the construction of commemial buildings such as
the one being proposed. The project is consistent with the General Plan, the Montgomery Specific Plan, the Southwest
Redevelopment Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance.
ARCHITECTURE
The amhitecture of the proposed restaurant is based on the amhitectural design of the Palomar Trolley Center. Many of the
design elements and colors are taken directly from the existing center 'while at the same time projecting the corporate image of
the restaurant. The design review staff and Design Review Committee members worked closely with the applicant's amhitect to
ensure that the restaurant's amhitecture would be compatible with amhitecture of the center and the character of the area.
PARKING
As indicated previously, the proposed building pad is part of a pamel that has a parking lot which was constructed to fulfill
the parking requirement associated with the Palomar Trolley Center. This parking lot has 47 parking spaces. The
PAGE 3, ITEM ~
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
construction of the restaurant will not affect any of the parking spaces. The Zoning Ordinance requires the provision of 15
parking spaces plus one space for every 2.5 seats. Based on this, the restaurant requires a total of 34 parking spaces.
The number of existing spaces at the site will meet the Zoning maximum requirement and will provide additional spaces for
the western part of the retail center~
LANDSCAPING
The proposed landscape plan shows a significant amount of well-balanced landscape material. It provides for the planting
of Purple Leaf Plums and Sycamores trees, shrubs, such as Lili of the Nile, Heavenly Bamboo, Turtles Natal Plum, Purple
Lantana, and Indian Hawthorn, and ground covers. In addition, the existing landscaping material in front of the building
and along Palomar Street, which include mature trees and shrubs, will remain there and complement the proposed
landscaping. Based on the assessment of the City's Landscape ^mhitect, the proposed landscape plan is adequate and
in compliance with the requirements of the City's Landscape Manual.
CONCLUSION
The development of the proposed restaurant represents the completion of the Palomar Trolley Center. It is staff's opinion
that the construction of this project will continue to represent a very positive improvement to this area of the City. In
addition to the attraction of viable business, the development of the project will contribute to the elimination of blighting
influences by providing a new building and putting a vacant pamel to a higher and better use, which furthers the goals and
objectives of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan.
The construction of the proposed restaurant has an estimated valuation of $220,000. This will generate an annual tax-
increment revenue of approximately $2,200, of which $858 will be allocated to the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
fund. An additional $440 will be allocated to the Housing Fund.

Design Review Committee
Minutes - 2 - March 1, 1999
Staff Presentation
Ms. Ann Pedder Pease (DRC Coordinator) indicated that the DRC saw this
project two weeks ago. At that time, the DRC requested that the arch with a sign
on the south elevation be eliminated, that the neon lighting along the parapet be
eliminated and the color of the structure be more compatible to the rest of the
center. The primary concern was pedestrian access to the trolley station. The
applicant has submitted a revised pedestrian access plan to the trolley station that
should meet with the intent of the DRC. A free-standing sign is indicated on
Palomar Street that carmot be approved under the Precise Plan for the entire
Center.
Applicant Presentation
Mr. David Amestoy (David Amestoy Architecture & Design, 2488 N. Glassell;
Orange, CA 92865) indicated that the applicant has taken care of and agrees to all
the recommendations except for #6; they definitely would like the free-standing
sign on Palomar Street, which would be the third free-standing sign in the center.
If the sign must be eliminated, they will reluctantly remove it from the plan.
Mr. Amestoy was informed that no additional free-standing signs can be
permitted along a major thoroughfare, although a smaller sign may be placed
inside the site.
Cornmittee Recommendations
MSUC (Aguilar/Araiza) to forward a positive recommendation for approval of
DRC-99-33 to the Redevelopment Agency subject to the following
recommendations: Recommendation 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 have been taken care of in
the revised plan submittal. Recommendation #6 would now become #1.
Recommendation #7 would now become #2 and be revised to say, The free-
standing sign proposed for the southerly portion of the site shall be redesigned to
a more pedestrian scale and submitted to the DRC for review and approval.
Recommendation #8 would now become #3. Recommendation #9 would now
become #4. Add Recommendation #5, The pedestrian walk between the comer of
Murrell and the driveway that goes into the trolley station and the front of the
building shall be redesigned to make it more inviting, interesting and attractive
and return to the DRC for review and approval. Vote: 5-0-0-0

Staff Presentation
Ms. Pedder Pease indicated that this project is for a two-story fitness center and
sin~e-story credit union on two parcels in the Rancho del Rey Employment Park
directly across from the Regal Theatre. The parking is accommodated between a
parking structure and the lot. There is no signage for the credit union. Staff felt
that issue should come back before the Committee. The drive-thru banking lanes
were moved, which made it necessary for a third entrance to the site in order to
accommodate trash trucks. This meant that an extra 34 feet of landscaping has
been eliminated. The location of the trash enclosure does not function well and is
an unattractive feature of the site. Staff suggested that the drive-thru lanes and
trash enclosure be relocated so that it is not necessary to have three entrances onto
the site. Staff would like to see some decorative treatment around the parking
structure.

24-BED ADULT RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AT 275 F STREET
SUBMI~rED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ~ °
REVIEWED BY: VOTE: YES__ NO X )
.~
New Beginnings has requested a land use permit to allow the establishment of a 24 bed adult residential facility [ARF] at
275 F Street located within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area. An ARF is a State-licensed residential facility
for the care of mentally ill patients. The land use is not a permitted use within the commemial area of the Town Centre
Redevelopment Project; therefore, in accordance with the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan, the proposal requires
consideration by the Redevelopment Agency. The proposal is exempt from environmental review under section 15303(c)
of the California Environmental Quality Act (less than 36 beds).
The following staff report provides a land use analysis and a recommendation that the Redevelopment Agency deny the
applicant's request based on certain findings included in the following staff report. (If the Redevelopment Agency believes
that the proposed use is appropriate, the applicant will be required to process the necessary plans and associated
applications.)
That the Redevelopment Agency:
1. Hold a public hearing and take public testimony; and,
2. Adopt a resolution denying the applicant's request based on findings listed therein.
On March 17, 1999, the Town Centre Project Area Committee voted 6-0 to recommend that the Redevelopment Agency
deny the applicant's request to establish a 24 bed adult residential facility at 275 F Street based on certain findings (stated
in following staff report).
The applicant's request entails the establishment of a twenty-four bed adult residential facility in an existing commercial
building located at 275 F Street (northeast corner of F Street and Church Avenue) (See Exhibit A, Iocator map). Physically,
PAGE 2~, ITEM
MEETING DATE ~
the facility is planned to house twenty-two private rooms and two semi-private rooms; a kitchen; and dining, laundry,
medication, and recreation rooms. Two offices and doctor's consulting rooms are also planned.
According to the applicant, "an adult residential facility is a place where doctors and/or social workers place clients
(between the ages of 18 and 59) after they have met all criteria in a locked, long-term mental facility. Most clients are not
capable of returning to their homes due to their mental instability and their lack of knowing how to deal with main stream
society. The clients are generally under heavy medications and are placed in an "ARF~ (Adult Residential Facility)."
The applicant indicates further, that the clients, while in the ARF, learn to adjust to an unlocked facility and are taught how
to care for themselves including when and how to take their medications and skills for employment. The goal of the facility
is to advance the client to a level of independent living. Doctors visit the facility and a doctor sees most clients every two
weeks on the weekly clinic day. Also, clients may be under conservators which would involve social workers.
Adult residential facilities are governed by the State of California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (Licensing of Community
Care Facilities). Under the State's regulations, "an 'Adult Residential Facility' means any facility of any capacity which
provides 24-hour a day non-medical care and supervision to adults except elderly persons."
Land Use Desiqnat on
The Town Centre Redevelopment designation for the site is central commercial. This land use designation allows a
mixture of commercial uses, including but not limited to retail, office, hotel, service, entertainment, educational, and
auxiliary uses. "The Redevelopment Agency, on special request, may allow residential development in the central
commercial area, provided that the proposed residential development is compatible with surrounding areas and manifests
adequate internal residential order and amenity~.' To establish a residential land use at 275 F Street, the proposed use
requires the approval of a special land use permit from the Redevelopment Agency. (For informational purposes, the
underlying zoning also is commercial.)
Copies of the applicant's letter of request, staff schedule, proposed rules and procedures, and letters of reference have
been included as Exhibit B, for your information.
Analysis
The existing building at 275 F Street is one story. It is approximately 5500 sq. ft. and located on a site that is about 13,000
sq. ft. in land area. The property is located directly on F Street about 300 ft. from the intersection of Third Avenue and F
Street, the main and central intersection of the Downtown commercial district. Adjacent land uses include a financial
institution across Church Avenue to the west, business and professional offices to the north and east, and the
Congregational Church and Norman Park Senior Center across F Street to the south. (See Exhibit C - Land Use
designation map.)
Generally, Church Avenue to the north of F Street has been transitioning from older, small-lot single family homes to
business and professional offices which contribute to the economic viability of the Town Centre Redevelopment Project by
conducting business in the commercial district. These businesses provide a significant employee base and, importantly, a
customer base to the commercial establishments in the Downtown area. Del Mar Avenue, the next street to the east and
parallel to Church Avenue is a residential neighborhood with small single and multi-family homes whose residents also
help support the Downtown commercial district.
1 Excerpt from Town Centre Redevelopment Plan Section 600.2
PAGE 3~ ITEM "~
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
The Congregational Towers, a H.U.D sponsored residential high-rise building for senior citizens, is located south and west
of the proposed project site. This multi-tenant building provides individual apadment units for seniors. And, though these
residents are on limited income, they are self-sufficient and spend a significant amount of their income in the Downtown
area, which contributes to the support of the Downtown businesses and restaurants.
Recently, the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency adopted a "Vision" statement for the Downtown to further focus
and reinforce the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan goal and objectives. This statement also is consistent with the Town
Centre Project Area Committee's (TCPAC) adopted land use policy for the Town Centre. All three documents define the
Town Centre or Downtown area as a commercial focus for the community. (Copies of the goal and objectives, Downtown
Vision Statement, and TCPAC land use policy are attached as Exhibit "D".)
The location of the proposed project is a visible and viable commercial site. From a land use aspect, the highest and best
use of the site to effectuate the goal of the Town Centre Project would be to intensify the commercial potential of the
properly. Creation of a higher density commercial development would be in keeping with the stated goal and objectives of
the Redevelopment Plan, Downtown Vision Statement, and land use policy.
In addition, the project as proposed would be located within H.U.D. Census Tract 123.02. This Census Tract is one of the
lowest median income tracts within the City of Chula Vista2. The addition of the project would increase the concentration
of Iow-income residents within the Census Tract and the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project. This would be counter-
productive to the redevelopment effort where a concentration of commercial uses is envisioned and a balanced mixture of
residential units is needed to suppod the Downtown area.
Based on the attached application and testimonials, it is apparent that the applicant has been successful in operating the
proposed type of residential care facility. Although there may be a need within the community for the proposed use, staff
does not believe the subject site is appropriate.
Based on the analysis, it is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency adopt the following findings and deny the
applicants request.
Based upon Chula Vista Municipal Code, Title 19, the following findings must be made:
Findings
A. The proposed use at the particular location is not necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which
will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community.
An adult residential facility at an appropriate location in the City may provide a necessary or desirable service or facility to
the community; however, at the proposed location, the residential use would preclude commemial development on a
commercially viable property within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project,

PAGE 4, ITEM
MEETING DATE 04/20/9~1
B. The proposed use, under the circumstances of the particular case, Mil be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or Mil be injurious to property or improvements
in the vicinity.
The addition of the project would increase the concentration of Iow-income residents within the Census Tract and the Town
Centre I Redevelopment Project and would be counter-productive to the redevelopment effort where a balanced mixture of
residential units is needed to support the Downtown commercial area.
C. The proposed use will not comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the Municipal Code for
such use.
The proposed use does not comply with the intent of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan and the adopted Downtown
Vision Statement to revitalize the Town Centre area as the commercial-civic focus of the City and will preclude commercial
development on a commercially viable parcel. In areas designated "central commercial," the Town Centre Redevelopment
Plan allows a mixture of commercial uses such as retail, office, and entertainment toward meeting the Project's
revitalization goals.
Denial of the applicant's request for a special land use permit will not impact the fiscal status of the Town Centre
Redevelopment Project.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA DENYING A REQUEST TO ESTABLISH
A 24 BED ADULT RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AT 275 F STREET
WHEREAS, Ms. Barbara Nelson has requested a special land use permit to allow
the establishment of a 24 bed adult residential facility at 275 F Street located within the Town
Centre Redevelopment Project Area; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 1999, the Town Centre Project Area Committee held a
duly noticed public hearing on the subject special land use permit application, considered
information presented, and subsequently voted 6-0 to recommend that the Redevelopment
Agency deny the applicant's request based on certain findings; and
WHEREAS, on April 20,. 1999, the Redevelopment Agency held a duly noticed
public hearing on the subject special land use permit application and considered information
presented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby deny the request to establish a twenty-four bed adult residential facility at
275 F Street in accordance with the following findings:
A. The proposed use at the particular location is not necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood
or the community.
An adult residential facility at an appropriate location in the City may provide a necessary or
desirable service or facility to the community; however, at the proposed location the
residential use would preclude commercial development on a commercially viable property
within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project.
B. The proposed use, under the circumstances of the particular case, will be detrimental
to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity,
or will be injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The addition of the project would increase the concentration of Iow-income residents within
the Census Tract and the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project and would be counter-
productive to the redevelopment effort where a balanced mixture of residential units is
needed to support the Downtown commercial area.
C. The proposed use will not comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
the Municipal Code for such use.
The proposed use does not comply with the intent of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan
and the adopted Downtown Vision Statement to revitalize the Town Centre area as the
commercial-civic focus of the City and will preclude commercial development on a
commercially viable parcel. In areas designated "central commercial,!' the Town Centre
Redevelopment Plan allows a mixture of commercial uses such as retail, office, and
entertainment toward meeting the Project's revitalization goals.
D. Granting the requested special use permit will adversely affect the General Plan of
the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The proposed use is inconsistent with the goal of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan,
the Downtown Vision Statement, and Town Centre Project Area Committee land use policy
which call for the revitarization of the Town Centre and Downtown as a commercial district.
Granting a special use permit for the proposed use will reduce the effectiveness of the land
use provisions of those documents.

Barbara J. Nelson, Administrator
Dear Ms. Buchan,
An adult Residential Facility, (ages 18-59) is a place where doctors and/
or social workers place clients after they have met all criteira in a locked long
term mental facility. Most all clients are not capable of returning to their
homes due to their mental unstability and their lack of knowing how to deal
with main stream society. The clients are generally under heavy medications
and are placed in an "ARF" (Adult Residential Facility).
Once there, they learn to adjust to an unlocked facility. They are taught
how to care for themselves, which includes everything from when and how to
take their medications to learning skills for employment. Some clients stay
for several years and some stay only a few months depending on their
individual advancement level. Our goal is to help them advance to a level of
independent living.
Our facility is visited by doctors, which is concidered clinic day, because
most clients are seen by doctors every two weeks. We do also have clients
that are on conservatorship, gravely ill and cannot make decisions for
themselves, So for these clients a conservator is appointed by the courts to 'be
in charge, generally it is their social worker. For these clients the
conservator chooses their doctors.
The facility is owned by Dr. Y. Kushnir. I will be leasing the property.
We will have twenty private rooms and two semi-private rooms for a total of
24 beds. The building will be equipted with a kitchen. It will also have
dinning , laundry, medication, recreation, rooms and a doctor consulting
room. There will be two offices, one general and one private office on the
premises.
All "ARF" facilities are governed by Community Care Licensing and Title
Twenty Two.
Sincerely,
Barbara J,/Nelson

RE: Barbara Nelson
As a Social worker serving the severely mentally ill, I have never known of a residential care
facility that better served clients than the one managed by Barbara Nelson. Barbara exercises
excellent judgement in providing a caring but disciplined environment as well a maintaining
close working relationships with service providers who serve mutual clients. Client needs are
always the determining factor in policy decisions. Whether it be the food, the .staff she
chooses, the cleanliness and orderliness of the surroundings or the caring expressed in so
many ways by her management, there is no comparison of the quality of care Barbara provides
and expectsand the care and quality in any other facilities known to me.

To Whom It May Concern:
Working with the mentally ill is both a challenging and unique occupation which
requires someone with very specialized skills. Few people can effectively
operate a residential care facility and even fewer excel at this task. Within the
past few years we have had the pleasant opportunity and great pleasure to work
cJosely with such an individual, Barbara Nelson. Barbara has earned herself an
outstanding reputation in the community of being a being a care provider who not
only gives the highest quality of care, but also sets the standard for the industry.
Barbara has been the administrator of a large residential care home for many
years, and allowing her to open the proposed home would be a great service to
our community. Bayview Hospital & Mental Health System is in full support of
Barbara Nelson's application for opening a residential facility, and we are excited
to potentially:have such a dynamic person continuing to provide such high quality
services to this special and deserving population.

RE: Barbara Nelson
I have been working with the mentally ill people for over 20 years as a social worker in the
San Diego Count.y Department of Social Services. For ten of these years it has been my
pleasure to be involved closely with Barbara Nelson, the Director of Casa Wil Char Board
and Care facility.
She is an extraordinary individual, very capable, thoughtful, energetic, skillful, and patient
but firm. She makes sure her clients, staff and the community get the best quality of service
and attention. She has managed superbly a 40+ bed facility to the satisfaction of clients,
their families, and the medical and psychiatric staff. The closing of Casa Wil Char was a
great loss to all.
Frankly, if my colleagues and I could choose any placement, it would be Barbara Nelson's
place. Her reputation for providing all-around quality care and supervision is unequaled.

Medical Center

San Diego CA 92161
May 1, 1998
In Reply Refer To:
To whom it may concern,
Subject: Support of Residential Care Home.
AS the Coordinator of Residential Board and Care for
Veterans Affairs for the San Diego Healthcare System I have been
asked to express my support for the need of a B&C Home in the
Chula Vista area. Being responsible for the placement of Veterans
from both the medical and psychiatric units of this heal. th care
facility I am keenly aware of the need for both Residential Care
Facilities for Elderly (RCFEs) and Adult Residential Care (ARCs)
B&C Homes licensed by the State Community Care Licens]n[t.
Veteran's Affairs has an ongoing need for placemen!~
resources for both our Inpatient and Outpatient Programs.(]
personally am responsible for approximately 250 Veterans
currently in residential Care Homes and are required to place
from six to a dozen new patients a mon[h. I am keenly aware from
27 years experience with Community Care Placements in San Diego,
of the need for quality B&C Homes to meet the placemen~ needs of
our Veterans.
While there are over 700 licensed facilities in this
county, many are of questionable quality and others are
completely priced out of the price range of our veterans. The
greatest need for B&C Home by the VA would be for quality homes
that would work cooperatively with our treatment staff and accept
our vets at affordable rates. Speaking from experience, the
majority of the Veterans that I work with would prefer a sa~fe and
secure place where they can expect to receive appropriate care
and supervision from concerned staff. (Given their preference
they would prefer to be in an urban setting close to ptLblic
Transportation, which would accept them at the SSI rate).
The VA Board and Care Program was severely hampered by the
recent closing of the Casa Wil-Char Board & Care Home in National
City. This was an extremely valuable resource to us and it's
untimely closing has left a void in our progralr~ that we are
attempting to fill. We had been associated with and utilized
this home for many years. I have personally worked wi~i~ Barbara
Nelson, its manager, for the past 7 years and had been aware
and placed Veterans there for the ten years preceding my present
assignment as Community Care Coordinator.
I can personally testify to the top quality ~1 care our
veterans received while in the homes operated by Barbatu Ne]son.
I know that she has consistently shown care and conce~ u for her
residents above and beyond the call of duty. Having worked with
her in many difficult situations which would have ended in
unfortunate terminations of placement for my clients were it not
for her true interest in the individuals she had J n t/er home.
Given the opportunity to place veterans I would not hesitate
making referrals with complete confidence that residents needs
would be more than adequately meet.
Pending the opening of the California State Veterans Home
in Chula Vista, there is a dire need to address the needs of
Veterans in this community (many of whom require psychiatric
treatment and or placement to prevent them from bei~g Homeless).
I would strongly support an ARC B&C Home in the Chula Vista area.
The purposed home that Barbara Nelson is attempting to establish
seems to ideally fit the needs of the veterans I must place in
the community. Given the recent establishment of a VA ~ntDatlen~
Clinic in Chula Vista and the forthcoming corlst~;uc~;~,~!l o~ the
Chula Vista Veterans Home, this B&C would certaiely be utilized
by the Department of Veterans Affairs and I would see it as a
great asset to the VA and the Con, unity at large.
I trust that you can take positive action upon ~h~s request
as the type of Service that is purposed to be offered is in great
demand. The addition of this B&C Home to the VA ResIdential Care
Program would go a great way in filling a void in our available

Town Centre I
Goal and Objectives
(Excerpt from Town Centre Redevelopment Plan)
The goal of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan is to revitalize the Town Centre area as
the commercial-civic focus of the City. To implement the goal the following objectives
were adopted in the Plan:
A. Eliminate blighting influences, including incompatible and noxious land uses, obsolete
structures and inadequate parking facilities.
B. E~iminate environmental deficiencies including, among others, small and irregular lot and
block subdivisions, several poorly planned streets, and economic and social deficiencies.
C. The strengthening of the mercantile posture of Town Centre and the improvement of
retail trade therein.
D. The renewal of Town Centre's physical plant and the improvement of its land use
patterns and spatial relationships.
E. The retention and expansion of viable land uses, commercial enterprises, and public
facilities within the area.
F. The attraction of capital and new business enterprises to the core area.
G. The comprehensive beautification of the area, including its buildings, open space,
streetscape, and street furniture.
H. The encouragement of multi-family, middle-income residential units in and near the core
area.
I. The possible accommodation of future local and regional mass transit and related
facilities; improvement of off-street parking areas and provision for a mini-transit intra-
project system.
J. The establishment of Town Centre as the South Bay's principal center for specialty
goods and services.
K. The establishment of design standards to assure desirable site design and
environmental quality.
L. The reorientation of the people of Chula Vista to their core area, and the resultant
promotion of a sense of "towness" (towness is a unique feeling spawned by an emotional
relationship between people and their city. This feeling is founded upon a.sense of
belonging. When the people feel that they belong to their city and that their city belongs
to them, a state of towness exists).

MEETING DATE 04/20/99
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION / ~'' 2-~/ CONDITIONALLY APPROVING FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE OF $275,000 TO CHELSEA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
(CIO) SUNBOW SERVICES COMPANY, LLC FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE PROPOSED 132 UNIT VILLA SERENA SENIOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECT AND APPROPRIATING $275,000 FROM THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'S LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING
SET-ASIDE FUND THEREFOR
REVIEWED BY: VOTE: YES X NO )
The Agency has received a request from Chelsea Investment Corporation (CIC) Sunbow Services Company, LLC, for
financial assistance to develop a 132 unit senior rental housing project. The project is to be known as "Villa Serena"
located on the north east corner of Medical Center Drive and Medical Center Court within the Sunbow II subdivision of
eastern Chula Vista (see attached Exhibit 1). The project is to be owned and operated by Sunbow Center L.P. On
November 10, 1998, City Council conducted a public hearing and the Housing Authority adopted a resolution expressing
its intent to issue multi-family housing revenue bonds to finance the proposed project
CIC Sunbow Services Company LLC has since requested that the Redevelopment Agency provide financial assistance
from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of $275,000 to support the development of 132 units of rental housing
for Iow and very Iow income seniors. In accordance with the requirements of CEQA, the Environmental Review
Coordinator has determined that the project required the preparation of an Initial Study (IS 99-13), and based on the study,
a Negative Declaration was adopted in connection with the Conditional Use Permit for the project.
Staff recommends that the Agency adopt the resolution conditionally approving financial assistance of $275,000 to
Chelsea Investment Corporation (CIC) Sunbow Services Company, LLC for the development of the proposed 132 unit Villa
Serena senior affordable housing project, appropriating $275,000 from The Redevelopment Agency's Low And Moderate
Income Housing Fund therefor, and authorizing staff to prepare the necessary loan agreement and associated documents
for City Council consideration at a later date.
On October 28, 1998, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to conceptually recommend the proposed senior housing
project and the use of tax exempt bonds and Low and Moderate Income Housing funds to finance the project.
The City's State-mandated Housing Element requires the provision of housing for all economic groups and to distribute
affordable housing developments throughout the City's jurisdiction. The City's strategy to implement this mandate, the
"Affordable Housing Program", is to require 10 percent (10%) of any new subdivision in excess of fifty (50) units to be
PAGE 2. ITEM
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
made affordable for Iow and moderate income families (5% Iow and 5% moderate) and to balance affordable housing
development throughout the City.
Under the City's Affordable Housing Program, the master developer of Sunbow II has an obligation to provide a total of
ninety-seven (97) Iow income units and ninety-seven (97) moderate income units. As currently proposed, the 132 unit
Villa Serena development will satisfy Sunbow II's Iow income housing requirement. The Affordable Housing Agreement
with Sunbow II will need to be amended to declare Sunbow II's Iow income housing obligation satisfied upon completion of
construction of Villa Serena and occupancy of all units by Iow income tenants. This amendment to the Agreement will be
presented to City Council for consideration at such time final approval of the issuance of the bonds to finance this project is
requested.
The Proposed Project
The Villa Serena development is proposed to be built at the northeast corner of Medical Center Drive and Medical Center
Court in the Sunbow II subdivision east of Interstate 805 in the City of Chula Vista. Villa Serena will be located adjacent to
the Veterans Home and within walking distance to Sharp Chula Vista Memorial Hospital and Medical Center. The site has
more than adequate access to public transportation.
The development envisions 132 apartment units in a two and three story fiat configuration (see attached Exhibit 2). Each
unit will include one parking space, outdoor storage, and air conditioning. Project amenities include a clubhouse, laundry
facilities, security features, and population-appropriate recreational, social and entertainment programs. Staff is currently
working with CIC Sunbow Services Company LLC for Villa Serena's participation in the City's Crime Free Multi-family
Housing Program.
The proposed unit mix and sizes are as follows: 112 1BR/1BA units approximately 560 SF
20 2BPJ1BA units approximately 700 SF
All units will be affordable to Iow income seniors over 62 years of age. It is the intent that these Iow-income units will
satisfy the requirements of the City's program for the provision of affordable housing within the Sunbow II community. Of
the 132 units, 20 percent (26 units) will be rented on a rent restricted basis to seniors whose income is at or below 50
percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) as determined by HUD and 80 percent (106 units) for seniors at 60 percent of
the AMI.
Although the City's highest priority for the development of affordable housing remains family units whenever feasible, staff
recommends the development of housing for seniors at this site. This site location provides constraints to the development
of housing for families but offers close proximity to services and facilities needed by seniors. The proposed senior housing
will be affordable to seniors at 50 and 60 percent of the AMI. Additionally, the site offers an opportunity to provide a mix of
housing types and population groups within a master planned community predominately comprised of single family homes
and in the neighborhoods east of Interstate 805.
On February 14, 1999, City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and a density bonus for the project.
Income and Rent Restrictions
Of the 132 units, 26 will be restricted to households at 50% of the median income, which is currently $21,000 for a family of
two. The remainder of the units will be restricted to households at 60% of the median income, which is currently $25,200
for a family of two. It is proposed that the rents on the 1BR units will range from approximately $467 to $564/month.
PAGE 3, ITEM ~
MEETING DATE 04/20/99
Rents on the restricted 2BR units will range from approximately $557 to $676/month. The restricted rents will be based
upon HUD income limits established for the current fiscal year.
Income and rent restrictions for Villa Serena will be maintained for a period of no less than 52 years, exceeding the 30-
year term of the bond. The Iow-income housing commitment will bind all subsequent owners of Villa Serena, so that the
commitment remains in force regardless of ownership.
The income and rent restrictions outlined above are to be incorporated into the Regulatory and Loan Agreements, which
will be recorded against the Property. Compliance with these restrictions will be subject annually to regulatory audit and
annual tax credit certification. The developer has successfully managed Iow income housing units for 12 years.
Compliance with strict property management policies and procedures will ensure that income and rent restrictions will be
maintained for the full 52-year compliance period.
Financial Assistance
The developer will be using Tax Exempt Multi-Family Revenue Bonds and Low Income Housing Tax Credit financing to
support the estimated $9,230,500 cost of constructing the project (see attached Exhibit 3). However, there remains a
financing gap of approximately $788,700. The developer will provide $513,700 in their deferred Developer fee to assist
with this gap. Staff is recommending that the Redevelopment Agency provide financial assistance in the amount of
$275,000 to meet the remaining financing gap.
A. Cost Reasonableness
Development costs are one of the key variables determining the need for subsidies, it is important that those
costs be reasonable. At an approximate project cost of $9,230,500, including land, the average unit cost of
$69,900 is consistent with typical affordable multi-fatuity development within the City.
B. Undue Gain
It is important that any financial assistance provided has the effect of making the units more affordable and not
creating undue gain for any party. The developer will receive a "Developer Fee" of $1,072,450 or approximately
11.6 percent of total project costs. However, 48 percent of the Developer Fee or $513,700 will be deferred in the
form of a note. Payments on this note will be paid out of the project's cash flow after debt service and operating
expenses, much like the Agency's proposed subs[dy. Due to the minimal residual cash flow to be realized from
this project, it is anticipated that it will take a minimum of 10 years to realize payment of the deferred Developer
Fee.
The Developer Fee actually paid over the construction period of the project and initial rent up is approximately 6
percent of the project costs. Staff has confirmed that the Developer Fee is within acceptable standards adopted
by the State Tax Credit Allocation Committee and the Federal Home Loan Bank's Affordable Housing Program
for a project of this size and affordability.
C. Subsidy Analysis
As stated previously, there remains a financing gap of approximately $788,700. The developer will provide
$513,700 in their deferred Developer fee to assist with this gap. Staff is recommending that the Redevelopment
Agency provide financial assistance of approximately $275,000 to meet the remaining financing gap. The
Agency's financial assistance equates to $2,083 per affordable unit.

TOTAL 9,230,500 9,230,500
City Subsidy per Unit ~ 2,083
City Leverage $33.6: $1
D. Form of Assistance
Agency assistance will be in the form of a residual receipts loan secured by a note and deed of trust. Repayment
of the loan will be deferred during construction. Once the City has issued a certificate of occupancy for all the
units, the outstanding principal and interest on the loan will be amortized over fifty-two years. The outstanding
balance shall accrue with simple interest at 6 percent per annum. Payment of principal and interest on the
Agency loan shall be made on an annual basis, out of a fund equal to ninety (90%) percent of the "Residual
Receipts", rental income from the Project minus debt service on bonds, payment of deferred developer fee, and
reasonable operating expenses.
More specific terms of the loan will be further negotiated. The required loan agreement and associated
documents will be negotiated and presented to the Agency for approval at such time final approval of the
issuance of the bonds and the related bond documents is requested.
E. Risks
In its role as lender to the project, the Agency is exposed to three risks inherent to real estate development.
These risks generally include: 1) predevelopment (project does not get to construction), 2) construction (project
cannot be completed, cost overruns, contractor problems), and 3) operation (revenues do not cover expenses).
Adding to these risks, the Agency's financial assistance will be subordinated to conventional financing.
A number of factors mitigate these risks. First, the development team has a strong track record with similar
affordable housing projects. The presence of other major financial commitments, such as the tax exempt bond
financing and tax credit investments, means that other stakeholders depend on the shod and long-term success
of the project. By its nature, affordable housing presents some, but very limited market risk because of the
deeply discounted rents. Finally, while the Agency is vulnerable due to its subordinated financing, it helps to
attract the necessary private financing.
Assuming all financial commitments are secured, construction is expected to begin Summer 1999 with completion of the
project estimated by Summer 2000.
Summary
It is staff's recommendation that the Agency adopt the resolution approving an allocation of $275,000 from the Low and
Moderate-Income Housing Set-aside Fund to CIC Sunbow Services Company LLC for the development of the proposed
132 unit senior rental housing project for the following reasons:
PAGE 5. ITEM
MEETING DATE 04/20/g9
· The proposal's effectiveness in serving the City's needs and priorities as expressed in the Housing Element of the
General Plan and the HUD Consolidated Plan.
· The proposal's consistency with the City's affordable housing policies as expressed in the Housing Element, and the
HUD Consolidated Plan.
· The proposal's development and operating feasibility, financing sources and the role of the City and the Agency in
providing financial assistance or incentives.
Villa Serena is proposed by a development t~am comprised of Chelsea Investment Corp. and Pacific Southwest
Community Development Corporation, who are committed to affordable housing. The financing structure of the project is
sound. The proposed Agency assistance meets the Agency's underwriting goals of reasonable project costs and
leveraging of Agency resources. The project quality includes good design and location. The project's unit mix and
affordability support the Agency housing goals.
The required loan agreement for the $275,000 in financial assistance and other associated documents will be negotiated
consistent with the terms presented above and presented to the Agency for approval at such time the Housing Authority
considers final approval of the issuance of the bonds and the related bond documents. It is anticipated that the Agency
and the Housing Authority will consider such documents in late May 1999.
Financial assistance will be provided from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The
Finance Department will be authorized to appropriate $275,000 in the form of residual receipts loan secured by a note and
deed of trust. Proceeds of this loan shall only be disbursed upon execution of required Loan Agreement and all associated
documents and satisfaction of any terms of such documents. Any repayment of this loan will be deposited into the Low
and Moderate-Income Housing Fund for further use in providing affordable housing programs.
