REVmEWED BY: EXECUTIVE DIRECTORf,~o*~kF (4/5TM VOTE.' YES X NO.__,)
The Cold Weather Shelter Voucher Program, as administered through the County of San Diego, is an annual
program. This year marks the third year Chula Vista has participated financially. Funds have been budgeted in the
Housing Division budget in the amount of $8,318 for fiscal year 1999-00. This amount was based on a previous
budget of $300,000 with $150,000 being funded by the County and the remaining $150,000 funded through
participating jurisdictions. Due to the overwhelming demand for this program, the County increased the program
budget in FY 1999-2000 to $400,000 with $200,000 being funded through participating jurisdictions. Therefore, the
County is requesting an additional $2,802 from the City for a total amount of $11,120.
That the Redevelopment Agency approve the resolution appropriating $2,802 from the unappropriated balance in the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for the Cold Weather Shelter Program.
Not applicable.
The Cold Weather Shelter Program provides assistance to homeless families and individuals during the rainy months
from December through April. For the past three years the City has participated in the Cold Weather Shelter
Program. This year the County has requested financial assistance in the amount of $11,120, an increase of $2,802.
This amount is based on the County increasing their funding to $200,000 with the remaining $200,000 funded
through participating jurisdictions.
Funds in the amount of $8,318 were budgeted dudng the regular fiscal year 1999-00 budget process. Since the
County will be increasing the amount of funding from $300,000 to $400,000, Chula Vista's share has increased
accordingly. The funding is based on the $200,000 the County is requesting from all the participating jurisdictions
and represents a podion of the total CDBG allocation jurisdictions received for fiscal year 1999-00. The table on the
following page delineates Cold Weather Shelter Program amounts.

Adopt a Resolution Approving the Replacement Housing Plan for the Gateway Chula Vista Project in the Town
Centre I Redevelopment Project Area.
The Town Centre Project Area Committee, at their meeting on November 10, 1999, unanimously approved the
Replacement Housing Plan.
The Replacement Housing Plan for the Gateway Chula Vista Project is mandated by State law and must be adopted
pdor to consideration of the full DDA for the project. The law requires that replacement units be provided within four
years of the removal of any existing units. The RHP describes the proposed project, the nature of the units proposed
for displacement, replacement housing plans, the financing and schedule of development of replacement housing,
and the pedod of affordability that will be required.
The Gateway Chula Vista Project, if approved, will displace only three very-low income housing units with a total of
six bedrooms. The RHP calls for replacement units to be provided, based on the State's formula of 75 percent
replacement. Using this formula, the RHP calls for the prevision of 5 very-low and 1 moderate income bedrooms.
Given that the Agency currently has a surplus of potential replacement housing units, the RHP proposes replacement
utilizing existing Agency surplus housing units.
Agency approval of this item in no way commits the Agency to approve the Gateway DDA that is currently being
processed for Agency consideration.
None. Developer intends to fund all aspects of relocation associated with the Project. The Agency currently has a
surplus of 300 income-restricted housing unit bedrooms, which can absorb the 6 bedrooms required to be replaced.

D AFT
The City of Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency"), through a developer,
Gateway LLC (The "Developer"), is proposing to acquire certain properties for the
Gateway Chula Vista Development (the "Project").
Section 33413.5 of the California Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code, Section
33000 et seq.) requires a redevelopment agency to adopt a replacement housing plan
whenever the agency executes an agreement for acquisition of real property, or an
agreement for the disposition and development of property which would lead to the
destruction or removal of dwelling units from the Iow and moderate income housing market.
The plan should identify the impacts that a particular redevelopment project will have on
the community's supply of Iow and moderate income housing and detail the measures that
the agency will take to ensure that the appropriate replacement housing is produced within
the four year time limit.
Section 33413(a) of the California Redevelopment Law requires that whenever dwelling
units housing persons and families of Iow or moderate income are destroyed or removed
from the Iow and moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project,
which is subject to a written agreement with a redevelopment agency or where financial
assistance has been provided, the agency shall within four (4) years of the destruction or
removal; rehabilitate, develop, or construct, or cause to be rehabilitated, developed, or
constructed, for rental or sale to persons and families of Iow or moderate income, an equal
number of replacement dwelling units at affordable housing cost within the redevelopment
project area or within the territorial jurisdiction of the agency. Because the dwelling units
will be removed after September 1, 1989, 75% of the replacement dwelling units shall
replace dwelling units in the same income level of very Iow income households, lower
income households and persons and families of Iow and moderate income, as the persons
displaced from those destroyed or removed units.
Demolished or converted, occupied or vacant occupiable, very Iow, Iow and moderate
income units must be replaced with units of an equal number of bedrooms from the
removed units. The units must be within the agency's jurisdiction, in standard condition,
and designed to remain affordable to very Iow, Iow and moderate income households,
respectively for a minimum of the longest feasible time, as determined by the agency, but
for no less than the period of the land use controls established in the redevelopment plan,
unless a longer time period is applicable under the Health & Safety Code §33413(c).
REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN PAGE I
3-5
The Redevelopment Plan for Agency's Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area is
scheduled to expire in 20'16. The units are anticipated to be removed by April 2000 and the
replacement units must be provided within a four year time frame. Therefore, all
replacement units must be completed by April 2004,
This Replacement Housing Plan (the "Plan") has been prepared by the Agency as a
result of proposed redevelopment of property located in the Project and to satisfy the
requirements for replacement housing contemplated under the California Redevelopment
Law.
This Plan describes the following:
1) Proposed projects,
2) General location of the very-low, low and moderate income dwelling units which will, or
may be, removed or destroyed as a result of the projects,
3) General location and intentions for the development of the replacement housing,
4) Means of financing such development,
5) Schedule for the construction of the replacement housing, and
6) Period for which these units will remain affordable.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gateway Chula Vista Development Proiect - The Gateway LLC is developing a high quality
304,000 square foot Class A office development with a 60,000 to 70,000 square foot retail
component. The Project is planned in three phases with the first phase beginning in second to third
quarter of 2000. The Project will include four-level structured parking with approximately 1,100
spaces. The property, located on 16 parcels of land, will require the acquisition of improved real
property which causes the displacement of persons and/or personal property. The real property to
be acquired will cause the displacement of three (3) single-family, residences.
The Agency has or may be required to exercise its powers of eminent domain in order to assemble
all properties necessary for the development of these Projects. All funds necessary for land
acquisition and relocation assistance and benefits to the displaced families will be provided by the
Developer.
PROJECT LOCATION
The Project is generally located in the City of Chula Vista between Interstate 5 to the west, Interstate
805 to the east, State Highway 54 on the north and Otay Valley Road to the south. Mom
specifically, the Project is bounded by H Street to the south, Third Avenue to the east, Roosevelt
Street to the north and Fourth Avenue to the west. On the following pages please find:

While a door to door survey could not be conducted, information from the current property
owner was made available in order to determine the number of bedrooms for each
displaced dwelling unit. Likewise, access to interview the occupants of the dwelling units
was not provided; therefore, the assumption was made, with respect to each family
displaced from the Project, that they were categorized as very Iow income for purposes of
this Plan. Based on the information and assumptions, it has been determined that there
are three (3) occupied dwelling units located in single-family homes. Thus, all three (3)
occupied, single-family homes will be considered in this replacement housing plan
analysis. Per the California Redevelopment Law, seventy-five percent (75%) of the
dwelling units shall be replaced with dwelling units having an equal number of bedrooms
available at the very-low, Iow and moderate income levels. The remaining bedrooms can
be replaced with bedrooms with non-income restricted units.
Bedroom Survey by Income Level
Table 1 defines the number of dwelling units and bedrooms that will be displaced and the
75% requirement for replacement by income level. The numbers under each household
income category indicate the total households displaced (the number of dwelling units) and
the numbers in parenthesis indicate the total number of bedrooms displaced for each
income level by bedroom size.

For this Project, all three (3) single-familydwelling units were found to have two bedrooms
each. It has been assumed for purposes of the preparation of the Plan that all three
households displaced from the Project will fall within the category of very-low income. If
upon actual interview of the displaced household it is determined that another income
category would more appropriately classify the family, then the Plan will modified
appropriately. Table I further defines the number of bedrooms necessary to meet the
requirements of the 75% replacement criteria.

As a result, there are a total of six (6) bedrooms in three (3) residential units that need to
be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed pursuant to Section 33413(a) of the Community
Redevelopment Law. Based on the 75% replacement criteria by income level, of these six
(6) bedrooms, it has been determined that five (5) replacement bedrooms should be
affordable to very-low income households, and the balance of one (1) replacement
bedroom will not have any household income restriction. Where fractions of units resulted,
the 75% requirement was rounded up or down to reflect whole units.

California Health and Safety Code Sections 50079.5 and 50105 provide that the moderate,
Iow and very-low income limits established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") are the state limits for those income categories. Sections 50079.5
and 50105 direct the Department of Housing and Community Development CHCD") to
publish the income limits. HUD released new income limits in February 1999. Accordingly,
HCD has filed with the Office of Administrative Law, amendments to Section 6932 of Title
25 of the California Code of Regulations. The amendments contain the new HUD income
limits prepared by HCD pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50093.
The fo#owing figures, shown in Table 2, are approved for use in the County of San Diego
to define and determine housing eligibi/ity by income/eve/:

The Agency had previously banked dwelling units as a result of construction or
rehabilitation in previous affordable housing projects. The information contained in Table
$ highlights those dwelling units that have been destroyed or removed from the Iow and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project. Thus, 183
bedrooms in 157 dwelling units have been destroyed or removed in the very Iow and Iow
income categories.

Table 5 summarizes the surplus of replacement bedrooms by income level that have been
created by the Agency and that are available as an offset against the demolition of
replacement units identified in this Project. The Agency's actions have resulted in the
creation of replacement housing units. Those surplus units were allocated by the Agency
for future housing obligations; a portion of which were set aside for very-low, Iow and
moderate income families.

No moderated and /or non-restricted units/bedrooms were created in these surplus
projects. The balance of moderated and/or non-restricted bedrooms can be subtracted
from either of the other two income categories.
Therefore, as defined in Table 5, the Agency elects to use five (5) of the very-low income
surplus units created. The balance of one (1) bedroom that needs to be replaced and that
is not income restricted, will be replaced at the Agency's discretion by utilizing any of the
surplus very-low or Iow income units.

The Redevelopment Plans that were created for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project
Area authorize the Agency to finance its activities with assistance from actual sources,
including the City of Chula Vista, State of California, United States Government, property
tax increment funds, interest income, Agency bonds, or other available sources.
In the acquisition, construction and/or rehabilitation of the surplus affordable housing units
identified in the preceding section, the Agency utilized a variety of funding sources to
finance these activities. Sources utilized included: State or Federal grants and loans,
including, but not limited to; HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds;
HOME grants; various mortgage subsidy or guarantee programs, including Section 202
and programs offered by the California Housing Financing Agency (CHFA); tax increment
funds; and below market rate financing through the sale of tax exempt mortgage revenue
bonds, and redevelopment twenty percent set-aside funds.
Specific funding for future replacement housing units may be through the use of any
combination of the above described methods and sources. However, since no
replacement housing will have to be created for these Projects, no additional funding will
be required.
It is hereby found and determined that the replacement housing to be developed and
constructed under this replacement housing plan does not require approval of the voters
of the County of San Diego pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution.
Neither ownership housing, nor rental housing are "low rent housing projects" as described
in Article XXXlV, and Section 37001 (b) of the California Health and Safety Code. All such
replacement housing will be privately owned, and will not be exempt from real property
taxes by reason of public ownership and will not be financed with direct long term financing
from a public body.
In addition, the Agency will not" develop, construct, or acquire" housing as described in
Section 1 of Article XXXIV of the State Constitution because it has provided developers
assistance and monitoring construction by imposition of mandated or authorized
conditions.
REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN 3-~ 5 PAGE I I
The Agency has completed construction and/or rehabilitation of replacement housing units
necessary for all the surplus affordable dwelling units discussed in this Plan, of which the
Agency anticipates utilizing a portion thereof, as replacement for the very-low, Iow and
moderate income housing bedrooms required under this Plan. All units created as
replacement housing units have been completed within the four (4) years and will remain
income restricted for a period as required by law.
In summary, a total of six (6) bedrooms in three (3) dwelling units will be removed as a
result of the construction of the three Projects.
Based on the 75% replacement criteria by income level, five (5) bedrooms of very Iow
income will be deducted from the Agency surplus of very Iow created dwellings. The
balance of one (1) replacement bedroom, that will not have any household income
restriction, will be replaced with other income restricted units created by the Agency. The
result of the above actions will yield the required number of replacement dwelling units as
mandated under California Redevelopment Law and the Housing and Community
Development Act.
The City of Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency recognizes its legal and community
responsibilities in this matter and has made a sincere, good-faith effort to accomplish these
goals. The Agency retains its option to use other approaches and strategies not discussed
herein to fulfill its replacement housing obligations in a timely manner.

PERMIT NUMBER 73 FOR REMOVAL OF ABOVEGROUND FUEL OIL
STORAGE TANKS AT THE SOUTH BAY POWER PLANT

The project proposal involves the removal of aboveground fuel oil storage tanks at the South Bay Power
Plant (SBPP). The project site is located at 990 Bay Boulevard, just south of Marina View Park and
immediately west of Interstate 5. The project site is located within the Bayfront Redevelopment Project
Area and the Chula Vista Coastal Zone. Due to the scope and size of the proposed project, it has been
determined that the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit is required pursuant to Section VII. E.(707)
General Controls and Limitations of Land Uses of the Bayfront's Redevelopment Plan as well as pursuant
to the definition of development, as found in Section 19.83.002 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code.
A Negative Declaration and Findings of No Significant Impact has been prepared and certified by the San
Diego Unified Port District. The environmental document has determined that the overall project will have
no substantially adverse effects to land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, noise, or objects of historic or
aesthetic significance, nor will the project otherwise have a potentially significant adverse impact on the
environment.
That the Agency/Council: [1] hold the public hearing and consider public testimony, and [2] adopt the
resolution issuing Coastal Development Permit No. 73 to remove aboveground fuel oil storage tanks at the
South Bay Power Plant subject to conditions.
Not applicable.
The San Diego Unified Port District recently purchased the SBPP property from San Diego Gas and
Electric. The power plant and associated facilities are presently being leased to Duke Energy of North

America (DENA). In keeping with the intent of the leases, DENA has determined that some of the
aboveground oil storage tanks at the SBPP site are no longer needed since the plant is now fueled by
natural gas. The removal of the tanks would reduce the visual impacts of these to the surrounding
community and the potential for oil spills and contamination.
DENA plans to remove three aboveground oil fuel storage tanks (4,5, and 6) and appurtenant equipment.
Each of these tanks has a height of 48 feet, a diameter of 240 feet and a maximum capacity of 336,000
barrels. A cutter stock tank (containing a lighter oil which is used to thin out the heavier oil found in the
larger fuel storage tanks) 32 feet in height, a diameter of 48 feet, and a capacity of about 9,800 barrels will
also be removed. All pump station equipment and associated piping down to depth of four feet below
grade will also be removed. In accordance with a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
determination, DENA cannot remove all of the existing oil storage tanks at this time. The CPUC has
determined that the power plant must have a readily available, alternate fuel source to power the plant in
case the natural gas supply is interrupted.
Prior to tank removal, DENA proposes to remove all oil presently contained in the tanks, clean them and
dispose of any asbestos-contaminated material. The tanks will be cut using torches or sheers, and the
metal material will be carried away on trucks or railcars to be recycled. Waste concrete will be ground-up
and used as roadbed material on-site. SDG&E will be responsible for ensuring that the soil and
groundwater beneath each tank is free from contamination. DENA will grade the sites and maintain the
current drainage patterns. The amount of ground disturbing activity will cover about 12 acres.
Based on the following findings, the proposed project has been found to be consistent with the policies of
the Certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program.
1. The Certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program provides for improving the visual quality of the
Bayfront by removing or mitigating through landscaping structures or conditions that have a
blighting influence in the area.
2. The Bayfront, by virtue of its location on the San Diego Bay, represents a visual resource for the
City and the region. The proposed removal of the fuel oil storage tanks hastens the opportunity to
develop the subject site with land uses that establish a harmonious relationship between the
natural setting and the man-made environment and assist in defining a unique City imagel
The proposed project will not generate revenue to the City of Chula Vista but will enhance the aesthetic
visual quality of the area and hasten the availability of the project site for future redevelopment activities.
