AGENCY RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA DISCONTINUING REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STIPEND PAY FOR CITY CLERK'S OFFICE EMPLOYEES EFFECTIVE 01115/02 AND PROVIDE RETROACTIVE PAY FOR ALL UNCOMPENSATED MEETINGS IN FY 2001/02 - In 1986, the Redevelopment Agency approved a $30 stipend per RDA meeting for management staff of the City Clerk's office. This was in response to the fact that the RDA meetings were moved from Thursday to Tuesday, and would take place immediately after the regular Council meeting was over. Previously, the Redevelopment Agency Secretary would take minutes at the RDA meeting. However, once the meeting was changed to Tuesday after the Council meeting, it was decided that instead of making the Agency secretary wait until the City Council meeting was over, the City Clerk would continue to take the minutes for the Redevelopment Agency. The requirement to attend RDA meetings was taken into consideration when setting compensation levels thus eliminating the necessity for the stipend. The position of Deputy City Clerk is scheduled for formal compensation/classification review in the near future. [City Clerk; Human Resources Director] CONTINUED FROM THE MEETING OF 12/17/01 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Agency adopt the resolution. 3. AGENCY RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING $698,000 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCE IN THE MERGED PROJECT AREA FOR REPAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING ADVANCES FROM THE GENERAL FUND IN THE AMOUNT OF $556,687.95 AND RELATED INTEREST IN THE AMOUNT OF $141,312.05 - The Redevelopment Agency, from time to time as funds are available, repays the General Fund for previous debt owed. This action uses currently-available Agency resources in the Merged Project Area to pay down outstanding Agency debt to the General Fund. Repayment of this debt is consistent with staff's recommendation to the City Council on September 18, 2001, when Council took action on the "H" Street project. This completes the previous action. [Community Development Director] 4/5THS VOTE REQUIRED STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Agency adopt the resolution.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE TOWN CENTRE I LAND USE POLICY - In September 1977, the Agency adopted the Town Centre I Land Use Policy to establish definitive criteria for land uses, and to inform the general public of the type of businesses that would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan. The land use policy included general policy guidelines and a list of permitted and non-permitted uses. In September 1999, the land use policy was amended to include the downtown "vision" statement, a reference to Municipal Code regulations relating to exterior noise levels, and a new category specifying land uses that require a Special Use Permit. In an effort to enhance and diversify the land use mix in the downtown area, and the need to provide a more user-friendly land use guide for prospective investors, owners, tenants, and the general citizenry, staff determined that is was again necessary to amend the land use policy. The proposed amendment provides an improved policy that mirrors the goals and objectives of the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan, and implements the "vision" of establishing downtown Chula Vista as the business, entertainment, civic, and cultural focal point of the city. Additionally, a specific change to allow Bailbond Offices north of "H" Street was requested for inclusion in the update. Bailbond Offices are currently allowed with a Special Use Permit only in Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets) of the redevelopment area. Staff does not support a change to the current policy regarding Bailbond Offices, but has provided the Agency with an option, to consider at their discretion, that would allow Bailbond Offices north of "H" Street.

AGENCY RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT WITH PACIFICA COMPANIES FOR THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AGENCY-OWNED PROPERTY IN THE MIDBAYFRONT SUBAREA OF THE BAYFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA - In 2001, Pacifica Companies notified the City of Chula Vista that it had signed an option agreement with Chula Vista Capital, the primary property owner of the MidBayfront property, for the purchase and development of the approximate 97-acre site. Pacifica also indicated to the City its desire to include in its development proposal additional lands, some of which are owned by the Redevelopment Agency. Pacifica Companies created a design team consisting of architectural. engineering, and environmental consultants, among others, to develop a concept master plan for the approximate 126- acre project site. The project proposes 5.8 million square feet of high quality mixed use building area comprised primarily of residential units, some limited commercial, up to three hotels, restaurants, recreation areas, and community center. Pacifica Companies is a group of diversified real estate companies with an extensive real estate portfolio including hotels, office and industrial buildings, retail shopping centers, and residential communities located throughout the United States. North C.V. Waterfront L.P., a limited partnership formed by principals of Pacifica Companies for development of the MidBayfront property, has requested an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the Redevelopment Agency for two years, with an optional six-month extension, to prepare plans, pursue entitlements, secure financing, and negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the project. [Community Development Director] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Agency adopt the resolution. 8. CONSIDERATION OF A SERIES OF AMENDMENTS TO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 9.50 - Chapter 9.50 of the City's Municipal Code (Mobilehome Space Rent Review Ordinance) was first enacted in May 1982 as a process for the negotiation and mediation of rent increases for mobilehome Redevelopment Agency, January 15, 2002 Page 4 communities. In 1989, Chapter 9.50 was amended to include a process for rent review upon change of ownership of mobilehomes that were to remain within the park. The Chapter also established the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission to act as a due process body for rent disputes and advise Council on mobilehome issues. As a result of the City's concerns regarding difficulties in implementing and administering Chapter 9.50 of the City's Municipal Code, increasing housing costs, and the general safety and welfare of residents of mobilehome communities, Councilmember Padilla initiated ongoing discussions with representatives of mobilehome park residents and park owners to address these issues and concerns. With the assistance of staff and outside legal counsel, Councilmember Padilla has been working over the past few years on revisions to the Ordinance. Upon further review, staff found it necessary to recommend additional revisions to provide clearer direction and definitions, and consistency with State Mobilehome Residency law. [Community Development Director] ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHAPTER 9.50 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO MOBILEHOME PARK SPACE RENT REVIEW STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council place the ordinance on first reading. 9. JOINT AGENCY/COUNCIL RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO IMPLEMENT A CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM FOR INSPECTING MOBILE HOME PARKS AND PROVIDING FIELD SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY HOUSING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, ADDING ONE BUILDING INSPECTOR II/CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER II; AND AMENDING THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2002-03 SPENDING PLAN TO PROVIDE FUNDING THEREFOR - The preservation and improvement of affordable housing is critical to the long-term interests of the City of Chula Vista. Therefore, a proposed new Building Inspector II/Code Enforcement Officer II position will be assigned the responsibility of conducting inspections of mobile home parks and providing field assistance to the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP). Due to financial limitations imposed by the State of California, the existing Title 25 Mobile Home Park Inspection Program is not staffed at a level that can adequately respond to the deteriorating conditions found in some of the City's mobile home and trailer parks. This position will supplement those efforts, and will be funded from a combination of the General Fund and Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ~~CS REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER CPt 011' 4/STHS VOTE: YES 0 NO D BACKGROUND The Redevelopment Agency, from time to time as funds are available, repays the General Fund for previous debt owed. This action uses currently-available Agency resources in the Merged Project Area to pay down outstanding Agency debt to the General Fund. Repayment of this debt is consistent with staff's recommendation to the City Council on September 18, 2001, when Council took action on the "H" Street project. This completes the previous action. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council/Redevelopment Agency adopt the resolution appropriating $698,000 from the unappropriated fund balance in the merged project area to pay down outstanding the General Fund debt balances in the amount of $556,687.95 and related interest in the amount of $141,312.05. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION As Agency funds become available, the Redevelopment Agency from time to time repays the General Fund for advances made to the Agency's various project areas. Debt owed the General Fund arises primarily from General Fund advances made as seed capital at or near the time the project areas are created and then subsequent advances for projects and operations as deemed necessary by the local governing body. A significant portion of the debt owed by the Agency to the cd - / PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 General fund is from the debt service on the Certificates of Participation for the Chula Vista Center locoted on "H" Street. On September 18, 2001, the City Council/Redevelopment Agency took action to fund, with General Fund monies, the cost of implementing the "H" Street Entryway Beautification Project concept plan and maintaining the project site for two years. This action appropriated $698,000 from the unappropriated fund balance of the General Fund to cover the project's estimated implementation and maintenance costs. While this use of General Fund monies was not considered a loan, it was anticipated at that time that the projected repayments of prior outstanding debt owed by the Agency to the City would have the effect of backfilling the General Fund revenues expended on this project. Appropriating $698,000 from the unappropriated fund balance in the Merged Project Area for repayment of outstanding advances from the General Fund completes the previous "H" Street action. The Agency currently has available repayment monies as a result of Shinohara settlement proceeds. FISCAL IMPACT The amount of $69B,000 will be appropriated from the fund balance in the merged project area for repayment of outstanding advances from the General Fund in the amount of $556,687.95 and related interest in the amount of $141,312.05.

The land use policy included general policy guidelines and a list of permitted and non-permitted uses. In September 1999, the land use policy was amended to include the downtown "vision" statement, a reference to Municipal Code regulations relating to exterior noise levels, and a new category specifying land uses that require a Special Use Permit. In an effort to enhance and diversify the land use mix in the downtown area, and the need to provide a more user-friendly land use guide for prospective investors, owners, tenants, and the general citizenry, staff determined that is was again necessary to amend the land use policy. The proposed amendment provides an improved policy that mirrors the goals and objectives of the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan, and implements the "vision" of establishing downtown Chula Vista as the business, entertainment, civic, and cultural focal point of the city. The proposed changes are discussed in the report. Additionally, a specific change to allow Bailbond Offices north of "H" Street was requested for inclusion in the update. Bailbond Offices are currently allowed with a Special Use Permit only in Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets) of the redevelopment area. Staff does not support a change to the current policy regarding Bailbond Offices, but has provided the 4- ( PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Redevelopment Agency with an option to consider at their discretion that would allow Boilbond Offices north of "H" Street. RECOMMENDATION The Redevelopment Agency odopt 0 resolution amending the Town Centre I Land Use Policy to: 1. Implement the gools ond objectives of the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area Plan ond Implementation Plan, and the Town Centre Procedures Manual and Design Manual; 2. Assist in the elimination of physical and economic blighting conditions; and 3. Implement the "vision" of establishing downtown Chula Vista as the business, entertainment, civic, and cultural focal point of the city. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION Downtown Business Association On October 17, 2001, staff presented the Town Centre I Land Use Policy to the Downtown Business Association (DBA) as an informational item. The DBA expressed their support for the land use policy amendment, but were opposed to changes of the current policy regarding bailbond Offices. (The current policy allows bail bond offices with a Special Use Permit only in Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets) of the redevelopment area.) Additionally, the DBA expressed their concern for allowing professional office uses "by-right" along the first floor storefronts of Third Avenue. The DBA asserted that an effort should be made to preserve the first floor storefronts of Third Avenue solely for retail, restaurants, entertainment, and other related uses. Town Centre Proiect Area Committee The Town Centre I Project Area Committee (PAC) initially held a special meeting on October 24, 2001, to consider the Town Centre I Land Use Policy. The PAC provided the following recommendations: 1. Exclusive of bailbond offices, the PAC voted 4-0 in favor of recommending to the Redevelopment Agency approval of the amended Town Centre I Land Use Policy. 2. The PAC vote was split 2-2 regarding changes to the bailbond office prohibition north of "H" Street. (The current policy allows bail bond offices with a Special Use Permit only in Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets.) Due to additional revisions made to the proposed policy, the PAC and staff decided that the policy be presented again to the PAC at their January 9,2002 public meeting. The PAC voted 5- o in favor of recommending to the Redevelopment Agency approval of the amended Town Centre I Land Use Policy as presented. Additionally, the PAC voted 4-2 in favor of not recommendina to the Redevelopment Agency, staff's proposed option (under Discussion section of this report) that would allow Bailbond Offices north of "W Street 4 -;).. PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Please note that the PAC serves as the recommending body to the City's Redevelopment Agency in regards to planning and/or redevelopment matters in the Town Centre Redevelopment Area, therefore not requiring a public hearing with the City's Planning Commission to consider this item. DISCUSSION The amended Town Centre I Land Use Policy (Exhibit A) provides a land use guide for implementing the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan, the Town Centre Procedures Manual and Design Manual, aCId the "vision" of establishing downtown Chula Vista as the business, entertainment, civic, and cultural focal point of the city. Additionally, the amended policy will assist in the elimination of physical and economic blighting conditions, and is part of an implementation strategy for the downtown entertainment district concept, which will be developed during the "visioning" process of the City's General Plan update. Staff is proposing the amendment to the policy in an effort to enhance and diversify the land use mix in the downtown area, and to establish a more user-friendly land use guide for prospective investors, owners, tenants, and the general citizenry. Several changes were made to the land use policy. The first change includes adding project area objectives, which are derived from the Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan. The current policy (Exhibit E) provides general policy guidelines and does not include all the project area objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan. The amended policy identifies the most important economic development and revitalization objectives of the redevelopment area, such as the elimination of physical and economic blighting conditions, providing adequate infrastructure, promoting business ventures, and encouraging the development of higher density mixed-use projects. The second change includes the creation of a matrix that illustrates a more comprehensive list of permitted and non-permitted land uses in the downtown area, including land uses that require a Special Use Permit. The current policy was purposely created to provide a sample of "typical" uses for demonstration purposes, and provided that discretion be given to the Community Development Director to determine the course of action (permitted, non-permitted, or special use permit) when a land use was not specifically listed in the policy. Staff believes that the land use matrix is a useful tool that will inform prospective investors and the general public of the type of land uses that are consistent or inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan. Exhibit D illustrates all of the new land uses in the proposed policy. Additionally, a matrix definitions attachment was prepared as part of the policy to define land uses in the matrix that may need further clarification. A final change to the land use policy includes adding language asserting that all proposed land uses shall be consistent with the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan, the Town Centre Procedures Manual, Design Manual, and the downtown "vision." Additional language specifies that all proposed land uses must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local rules and regulations. Please note that the land use policy serves solely as a land use guide, therefore businesses that propose to serve or sell alcoholic beverages will still be required 4-.3 PAGE 4, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 to comply with State Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) regulations, which are administered by the City's Police Department. Siqnificant Policy Chanaes Aside from the new land uses provided for as described in Exhibit D and on the proposed Land Use Matrix, the significant changes in allowable land uses include the following: · Allowing bars, comedy clubs and nightclubs with a Special Use Permit. Only beer and wine bars were permitted under the existing policy. This is a significant change that will provide support for the Downtown Vision Statement's goal of positioning Third Avenue as the entertainment focal point of the community. · Allowing mixed-use commercial/residential projects with 0 Special Use Permit. The existing policy wos silent on this type of land use. This change will help encourage quality infill mixed-use projects on vacant or underutilized parcels. · Clarifying that Antique Shops are an allowable use. The current policy doesn't address antique shops. No change in the current prohibition on other "secondhand" merchandise is proposed. . Clarifying that coffee shops and juice bars are an allowable use. This is consistent with the Downtown Vision Statement entertainment focus. · Clarifying that legitimate health spas and therapeutic massage businesses are an allowable use with appropriate Police Department approval. . Numerous other minor clarifications that should provide greater clarity to businesses seeking to locate within the downtown district. Bail Bond Office Land Use Issue A specific change to allow bailbond offices north of "H" Street was requested for inclusion in the update. Bailbond offices are currently allowed with a Special Use Permit only in Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets) of the redevelopment area. Staff does not support a change to the current policy regarding bailbond offices, because the land use would permit another office use in the "core" retail area (Third Avenue between "E" and "G" Streets), which is inconsistent with the idea of preserving the "core" area, especially the first floor storefronts of Third Avenue solely for retail, restaurants, entertainment, and other related type of land uses. However, staff is providing the Redevelopment Agency with an option to consider at their discretion that would allow bailbond offices with a Special Use Permit in Subdistricts 1 & 2: A. Only if located within a minimum 40-ft. setback from the closest major right-of-way; or B. There is an otherwise allowed use directly between the proposed bail bond location, and the closest major right-of-way; or C. If proposed bail bond offices locate on a second or higher floor. In addition, the Agency Board should be aware that a bail bond office has located within the core area pending resolution of the bail bond office issue. If the policy remains unaltered concerning this issue, this bail bond office will be required to vacate. If the policy is amended pursuant to the 4-<1 PAGE 5, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 suggested alternative noted above, this bail bond office Special Use Permit will be heard by the Redevelopment Agency at an upcoming public hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The Town Centre I Land Use Policy is a land use guide for implementing the goals and objectives of the previously adopted Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area Plan. The Town Centre I Redevelopment Area was adopted in July 1976, and has thereafter been amended five times, with the latest taking place in June 1998. The final Environmental Impact Report (98-2) for the Redevelopment Project Area is on file in the City's Community Development Department. The proposed policy is consistent with the previously certified environmental document. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Article 12, section 15180(a) & (b): All public and private activities or undertakings pursuant to or in furtherance of a redevelopment plan constitute a single project. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on a redevelopment plan shall be treated as program EIR with no subsequent EIRs required for individual components of the redevelopment plan. The Lead Agency has determined based on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that the proposed activities do not constitute substantial changes requiring revisions to the previous EIR or substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the activity is being undertaken. Additionally, the Lead Agency has determined that no new information of substantial importance exists which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified to show that the proposed activity could have one or more significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no new mitigation measures would be required. FISCAL IMPACT The Town Centre I Land Use Policy will result in no adverse financial impact to the City's Redevelopment Agency. The policy will assist in the elimination of physical and economic blighting conditions in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Area. Additionally, the policy will provide prospective investors, owners, and tenants with a more user-friendly land use guide that specifies a more comprehensive list of permitted and non-permitted uses in the redevelopment project area, including uses that will require a Special Use Permit.

ROLL CALL Present: Chairperson Vignapiano, Members Money, Madsen, and Rossi Absent: None Also Present: Byron Estes, Xavier Del Valle, Pat Beard, Brian Hunter, Raymond Pe, Jack Blakely, Byron Mantack, Jon H. Miller, Lisa Moctezuma 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES from meeting of July 11, 2001 as corrected: under Redevelopment Business: bullet #4 - shouid be "February 200f. is the anticipated opening date". 3. REDEVELOPMENT BUSINESS: . Xavier Del Valle presented a final draft of the Town Centre Land Use Policy. The presentation did not inciude the proposed entertainment district policy. He explained thatthe purpose of the policy and matrix is to make it more consistent with the Redevelopment Plan and make it more user-friendly for prospective investors, tenants and Chula Vista residents. It also implements the vision of establishing downtown Chula Vista as the business, entertainment, civic and cultural focal point of the City. The objectives are to eliminate blight, strengthen mercantile posture of Town Centre, promote business retention, promote expansion, attraction of capital and new business enterprises, beautification of the area, and encourage higher density mixed-use projects. The permitted uses and controls are consistent with the Redevelopment Plan. The Land Use Matrix illustrates permitted and non- permitted iand uses, including land uses that require a special land use permit. It was created to make it more user friendly to see what uses are permitted. The Redeveiopment Agency has the authority to grant a variation from the restrictions and controls established by a Plan. . Staff has been asked to look at the possibility of allowing bail bond offices In the downtown district. After researching, since it serves the community and provides a vital need, bail bonds have been allowed with a special use permit. Currently, bail bond establishments are only allowed In Subarea 3 (area between H and I Streets). . Byron Estes reviewed the additions and/or changes to the Land Use Policy Matrix. A discussion of the Matrix followed. Chair Vlgnapiano suggested that the Bail Bond Office not be changed to a Speciai Land Use on the Land Use Polley Matrix, but remain in Subarea 3 only. She is concerned that the downtown will lose it's retail prominance. Member Money'commented that although the vision for downtown is to have more retail than businesses, it has not happened yet. He felt that the location for the Bail Bond Office was a proper use of that location. This was also a good use because of the ample amount of parking there which will not interfere with the parking structure. Member Rossi commented that when a certain business is at a location and then moves, usually the next business that occupies that area is the same kind of business. Member Money suggested that if there are to be restrictions on who can occupy spaces in the area, then the City perhaps should have a master lease and then ,/ I 0 sublease to tenants which fit into the restrictions for that area. '-f-- (5 Jack Blakely said the DBA was concerned about allowing another office use in the Minutes of Town Centre Project Area Committee October 24, 2001 Page 2 area since they were trying to encourage retail and restaurant uses. If the bail bond office is allowed at G Street and Third Avenue, there are concerns that other offices will start opening and spread into the downtown area. Jon Miller said that each applicant is approved on a case by case basis, so it wouldn't necessarily mean that if one business was approved at a ce.rtain location, that another similar business would automatically be approved across the street. Excluding the Ball Bond Office use, the vote was 4-0 in favor of recommending to the Redevelopment Agency approval of the Town Centre I Land Use Policy. They voted 2-2 to make no changes to the current land use polley regarding Bail Bond Office uses. The current land use polley allows Bail Bond Offices with a Special Use Permit only In Subarea 3 (Third Avenue between "H" and "I" Streets) of the redevelopment project area. They voted 2-2 to allow Ball Bond Offices with a Special Use Permit throughout the redevelopment area. The Town Centre I Land Use Policy will now go before the Redevelopment Agency for approval. . Pat Beard announced that the Storefront Renovation Program is being expanded to a portion of H Street in conjunction with the H Street Beautification Project. In reviewing the Third Avenue Program, it was decided that the bids coming in on the projects are higher than expected. More money will be needed. It is recommended that the grant program remain the same, but the grant amounts will be,increased from $7,500 to $10,000 top value, for a fuli facade. (This would be a 50% rebate up to $10,000). The sign program would be 30% rebate up to $4,000 top value instead of $2,000. This wouid not be retroactive for the applications already in. MSC (Money) 4-0. 4. PARKING ISSUES: . None 5.

WATERFRONT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF A RESIDENTIAL/MIXED USE PROJECT IN THE MIDBAYFRONT SUBAREA OF THE BAYFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOP~ENT DIRECTOR L~ t-5 REVIEWED BY: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR~il\' 4/5THS VOTE: YES D NO 0 BACKGROUND In 2001, Pacifica Companies notified the City of Chula Vista that it had signed an option agreement with Chula Vista Capital, the primary properly owner of the MidBayfront properly, for the purchase and development of the approximate 97-acre site. Pacifica also indicated to the City its desire to include in its develapment proposal additional lands, some of which are owned by the Redevelopment Agency (Attachment A). Pacifica Companies created a design team consisting of architectural, engineering, and environmental consultants, among athers, to develop a concept master plan for the approximate 126-acre project site. The project proposes 5.8 million square feet of high quality mixed use building area camprised primarily of residential units, some limited commercial, up to three hotels, restaurants, recreation areas, and community center (Attachment B). Pacifica Companies is a graup of diversified real estate companies with an extensive real estate partfolio including hotels, office and industrial buildings, retail shopping centers, and residential communities located throughout the United States. North C.V. Waterfrant L.P., a limited partnership formed by principals of Pacifica Companies for development of the MidBayfront properly, has requested an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the Redevelopment Agency for two years, with an optional six-month extension, to prepare plans, pursue entitlements, secure financing, and negotiate a Dispasition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the project. Staff is recommending that the Agency enter into the ENA due to the quality of the proposal and development team, and its potential to eliminate blighting conditions in the Bayfront Redevelopment Proiect Area by serving as a catalyst for development of the remainder of the Bayfront. The ENA is attached as Attachment C. RECOMMENDATION That the Agency adopt the resolution approving the Exclusive Negatiating Agreement with North C.V. Waterfront L.P. (Developer) for a period of two years, with an option for a six-month extension, and direct staff to work with the Developer on preparation of project plans and a Disposition and Development Agreement for development of the MidBayfront project site. 7 -I PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Proiect Site The proposed project site is located west of Interstate 5 in the area commonly known as the "MidBayfront." It is generally bounded by the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge to the north, San Diego Bay to the west, and Lagoon Drive to the south. The property is accessible from Bay Boulevard to the east, E Street to the north, and Lagoon Drive (F Street) to the south. The property is regulated by the adopted Local Coastal Plan, which is implemented through the Bayfront Specific Plan. The approximate 126-acre area under consideration is currently vacant and consists of 17 parcels, including 6 parcels totaling approximately 12 acres owned by the Redevelopment Agency and 1 parcel totaling 1.14 acres owned by the City of Chula Vista. Chula Vista Capital, Goodrich, and SDG&E own the remaining parcels (Attachment A). The Developer has entered into an option agreement with Chula Vista Capital for the purchase and development of land that comprises nearly 80 percent of the proposed project site. The project site comprises the MidBayfront subarea of the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan. In 1993, upon approval of the Local Coastal Plan, staff negotiated a development agreement for 100 acres of the MidBayfront site with the owner of the property at that time. However, after one year of negotiations, the ownership of the property changed and the new owners expressed concern over the financial viability of the proposed property. The owners ultimately indicated that they would not proceed with the MidBayfront project as approved by the City and Coastal Commission, but would seek alternative development proposals. On November 10, 1998, the Agency/City entered into an ENA with Tuchscher Development Enterprises, Inc. (TDE) for development of a mixed use project on the property commonly known as Crystal Bay. TDE's option and ENA expired in the spring of 2000. To date, no other alternatives have been presented to the City for review and the property remains undeveloped. Proiect Proposal The Developer proposes construction of 5.8 million square feet of high quality mixed use building area comprised primarily of residential units, some limited commercial, up to three hotels, restaurants, recreation areas, and a community center. The photographs included in Attachment D provide an indication of how the project is envisioned. The proposed master planned development includes the following uses, although the project is subject to change either in the negotiation of the DDA and/or during the entitlement process: Residential: Approximately 3,400 residential units are planned within the project. There are six product types anticipated, including single-family ecological housing ("eco-bungalows"), 7-:2... PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 rental and condominium garden apartments (3-4 levels), mid-rise (5-7 levels) multi-family units, high-rise (8+ levels) multi-family units, flats, rowhouses and town homes, ond mixed use residential with retail/civic uses. The residential units are planned to be contained within multiple buildings of varying heights, with a maximum height anticipated at 23 stories. The high-rise towers are to be located within the interior of the project with the lower-level buildings located toward the exterior. Building heights are planned to be "stepped back" from the Bayfront and refuge on the west and north, from the F&G Street Marsh on the south, and from the eastern boundary. Commercial/Retail: Multiple community-serving retail areas (including limited office space) comprising approximately 30,000 square feet will be provided within the project as mixed used development with residential, civic and recreational use combinations. The commercial uses are intended to provide retail opportunities for residents within the project and shall be of an area that is supportable by the internal residential development. Hotels/Restaurants: Two hotels located within close proximity to Interstate 5, ranging in height up to 6 levels, and comprising approximately 600 rooms are anticipated. These hotels shall be of the highest quality commensurate with expectation that they will establish the overall project standards and expectations due to their strategic location at the project entry and their anticipated development within the early phases of the Project. The feasibility of a high quality and environmentally sensitive "resort"-type hotel will be analyzed for development within the westerly portion of the project boundary. Incorporated within each of the hotels shall be high quality meeting facilities designed for both internal and external users. Additional services contemplated include banquet and room service, concierge, shuttle service to the airport and convention center, and above-standard amenities. Recreation: Approximately 30 percent of the site is proposed for open space, recreation and limited park use. A synergistic relationship between the project, the Chula Vista Nature Center, and the Sweetwater Marsh Refuge is anticipated. This relationship will include educational, operational, and accessibility opportunities. The project shall accommodate access to the Nature Center by providing a visible "gateway" to the Center, conveniently-located public parking, and a coordinated trolley transport system. Pedestrian paths will connect with the nature trail system along the Bayfront and refuge. The Project will also include an extensive and integral pedestrian pathway system. A public bikeway system that connects north and south with the CalTrans regional bikeway system will also be incorporated into the Project design. Additional Project recreational facilities shall include, but not be limited to, tennis courts, basketball courts, par course, picnicking areas, and a man-made basin (aqua promenade) for water-oriented activities. The potential for an indoor, on-site active recreational facility will also be analyzed and incorporated, as warranted. Off-site park opportunities will be explored as well to meet the intent of the City's Park Acquisition and Development Ordinance and Requirements. Parking: Sufficient and optimally-located parking shall be provided throughout the project to accommodate owners, tenants, and non-residential visitors to the site. 7-...3 PAGE 4, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 In addition, the project proposes to enhance the F&G Street Marsh, address regulatory agency requirements for enhancements to the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, and work with the Agency/City in proposing methods for relieving the Agency/City of ongoing operating costs related to the Nature Center. Potential Proiect Benefits An estimated 6,200 residents are anticipated to reside in the high quality bayside village. The provision of increased housing opportunities for middle and upper income residents are anticipated to be a catalyst for the overall revitalization of Northwest Chula Vista. The project, with its adjacency to Interstate 5, will enhance the City's image at its westerly entry, which will benefit the entire community. The high-density, residential urban village is anticipated to balance the commercial, office, and visitor-serving uses on the Port District's commercial property located to the south of the project site. Access to the region's trolley system will provide an alternative mode of transportation to both residents and visitors to the village. The project proposes a number of recreational enhancements, as well as many benefits to the Chula Vista Nature Center by providing a gateway to the Center and proposing mechanisms for relieving the Agency/City of ongoing operating costs related to the Center. The project proposes to provide Sweetwater Marsh Wildlife Refuge educational opportunities while minimizing impacts to sensitive wetland areas Proiect Processinq The Developer anticipates submitting a complete application package to the City initiating the entitlement process in early 2002. The Developer will pay for the consultants and non- Community Development Department staff needed to process the project at full cost recovery. There will be opportunities for public input throughout the entitlement process at public hearings held for the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency/City Council. In addition, staff will develop a public outreach program that will include focused public forums to allow for the community to review and comment on the project as it develops. The Developer and Staff will continue to obtain input from Goodrich Aerostructures and the San Diego Unified Port District (the property owners to the south of the proposed project), and work with the developer of the former City Corporation Yard, MTDB, CalTrans, and others to help ensure quality linkages with development to the east of the property. Staff will also work closely with the California Coastal Commission and other regulatory agencies involved in the review of the MidBayfront properties. Development Time Frame The proposed project will require at a minimum an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), General Plan and Specific Plan amendments, Local Coastal Plan amendment and permit, and a Tentative Map and Final Map. The targeted time frame to complete the City's review process is one year from the time a complete application package is received by the City, pending the availability of information and timeliness of the responses. An additional three months is estimated for the California Coastal Commission's consideration of the Local Coastal Plan amendment. Upon Coastal Commission approval, the Agency/Council may consider issuance of the coastal development permit and map approvals. 1-'1- PAGE 5, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Exclusive Neqotiatinq Aqreement The Developer has requested an ENA for 0 period of two years, with an optionol six-month extension in order to continue negotiations with the Agency and other properly owners, prepare plans, entitle the proiect, market the project, and secure financing.

In 1989, Chapter 9.50 was amended to include a process for rent review upon change of ownership of mobilehomes that were to remain within the park. The Chapter also established the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission (the "Commission") to act as a due process body for rent disputes and advise Council on mobilehome issues. As a result of the City's concerns regarding difficulties in implementing and administering Chapter 9.50 ("Ordinance") of the City's Municipal Code, increasing housing costs, and the general safety and welfare of residents of mobilehome communities, Council member Padilla initiated ongoing discussions with representatives of mobilehome park residents and park owners to address these issues and concerns. With the assistance of staff and outside legal counsel, Council member Padilla has been working over the past few years on revisions to the Ordinance. Upon further review, staff found it necessary to recommend additional revisions to provide clearer direction and definitions and consistency with State Mobilehome Residency law. To address these issues, the attached amendments are proposed to the Ordinance (see Exhibit 1). with a detailed summary attached as Exhibit 2. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council place on first reading and adopt the ordinance. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION The proposed changes to Municipal Code Chapter 9.50 are related to policy direction and therefore, such changes require consideration first by the City Council. The role of the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission is to implement this Chapter by reviewing space rent increases in excess of the Consumer Price Index. The Commission members have been apprised of City staff's efforts to amend Chapter 9.50. 8-1 PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 DISCUSSION Current Ordinance The purpose of Chapter 9.50 is ta provide protection of mobilehome/trailer park residents and to maintain this supply of housing. The Council made the determination that the supply of mobilehome communities was not adequate to meet the demand and rents for mobilehome spaces were rising. Furthermore, residents of mobilehome communities are largely incapable of moving their homes without suffering a great cost to move, loss of value and loss of resale value. In the absence of regulations, the City would face an inadequate supply of mobilehome opportunities. The Ordinance provides a mechanism for the resolution of disputed increases in space rent. It is applicable to the following: . Leases less than one year (i.e. month to month); . Existing mobilehome residents; and, . New/Incoming residents. Park owners are allowed annual rent increases. If such rent increases ore equal to or less than the applicable change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the rent increase goes into effect within 90 days of such notice to the residents. Such rent increases are considered automatic, with no right of review by the Commission and are referred to as the "annual permissive rent increase". If the proposed rent increase for existing mobilehome residents or new incoming residents is greater than the applicable CPI, the park owner must follow the specified noticing procedure. Those affected park residents have the right to file for a review of such rent increase before the Commission if they so chose. The City does not prohibit rent increases in excess of the CPI; such increases ore simply not automatic. The City encourages the voluntary settlement of rent disputes and requires a meeting between park owner and affected residents within 10 days after having served the notice. If no voluntary agreement is reached, affected residents may file for a hearing before the Commission to review the appropriateness of the requested rent increase. In considering rent increases in excess of the CPI, the Commission considers cost and value based factors, as stipulated in Chapter 9.50. These factors include, but are not limited to, a fair and reasonable return, rents for comparable spaces in the South Bay, quantity and quality of improvements and features at the park and quantity and quality of services offered. The Commission upon hearing all testimony and evidence can then fix the space rent no less than the pre-existing rent and no higher than the rent increase specified in the written notice of rent Increase. ?I-~ PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Proposed Revisions The major revisions to Chapter 9.50 include the following: . Annual Permissive Rent Increase Revising the annual automatic increase of rents to 100% of the change in the CPI when the CPI is 3% or less; and 75% of that percentage change in the CPI above 3%. Currently, park owners are allowed to increase rents up to a maximum of 100 percent of the change in CPI. IFor exampl~ Current CPI = 5.7%. Base Rent = $400 per month. Current Annual Permissive Rent Increase = Base Rent x (1 + CPI%) =$400 x (1 + 5.7%) = $400 x 1.057 = $422.80 new monthlv rent Proposed Annual Permissive Rent Increase = Base Rent x (1 + (3% + (CPI-3% x 75%))) = $400 x (1 + (3% + (5.7% - 3% x75%))) = $400 x (1 + (3% + 2.025%)) = $400 x 1.0525 = $ 420.10 new monthlv rent As depicted in the CPI, the cost of living in San Diego County has significantly increased in the last year. In the last ten years, the CPI has averaged 3.1 percent. The change in the CPI increased 64 percent from 3.5 percent in 1999 to 5.75 percent in 2000. Continuing to allow rent increases of 100 percent of the CPJ when the CPI is high may result in a financial burden to many park residents. In general, mobilehome/trailer parks have costs of operation that are considerably less than total gross income. Of the 94 California jurisdictions with some form of mobilehome rent stabilization, 43 percent or 40 jurisdictions use 75 percent or less of the CPI as the standard for automatic rent increases. Additionally, 21 of these 40 jurisdictions tie their permissive rent adjustment to a maximum. For example, the rent is adjusted by the lesser of 75 percent of the CPI or a 5 percent rent increase. Therefore, staff believes that limiting the annual permissive rent increase to 100% of the change in the CPI when the CPI is 3% or less and 75% of that percentage change in the CPI above 3% is sufficient to enable mobilehome/trailer park owners to maintain fair, just, and reasonable rents. . Compliance with Code Requirements More than half of the 32 mobilehome/trailer parks in the City were built prior to 1960, with four of those parks built in the 1940's. The last mobilehome community was built in 1972 (Otay Lakes Lodge). A drive through of the City's mobilehome/trailer parks conducted by staff suggests that many of the older parks have units that are deteriorating and have constructed illegal additions. Staff is also concerned with the viability of the infrastructure of many of these older parks. City records indicate that the infrastructure systems in these parks have not been upgraded. g'-3 PAGE 4, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Currently, park owners can increase their rents on an annual basis up to 100 percent of the CPI even when the state of the park has deteriarated to a level where the park presents seriaus risks to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents. To ensure that park residents are receiving a fair return on their rental dollar, staff is proposing to link the physical condition of a park to those rent increases in excess of the CPI. At such time a park owner chooses to raise rents in excess of the annual permissive rent increase, the City would conduct a physical inspection of the mobilehome/trailer park and shall attempt to resolve code violations, if any, prior to the implementation of such rent increase. The inspection will only be triggered by that rent increase in excess of the CPI given to all or a majority of the existing park residents and will not apply to such rent increases for individual spaces upon change of ownership of the mobilehome. Such inspection would be based on Appendix One of the proposed Ordinance. Appendix One is a specific and narrow list of code violations which may create a serious health, safety and welfare hazard to the occupants of the park. If an inspection for compliance with Title 25 of the State was completed within the previous six-month period, such inspection shall be used in reviewing the rent increase. A process for the review of such complaints and curing of any justified violations is proposed. The Mobilehome Rent Review Commission would have the ability to deny, in whole or in part, the rent increase in excess of the annual permissive based upon the nature or seriousness of the code violations should the park owner be unable to cure such violations within a timely manner. The proposed revisions provide an economic incentive to park owners to maintain at least a minimum level of health and safety in compliance with the law. In addition, staff will resume its State of California Title 25 comprehensive inspection program for mobilehome/trailer parks administered by the Planning and Building Department. The City's ability to conduct periodic inspections of mobilehome parks under this program has been restricted due to State imposed limitations on charging appropriate inspection fees. The City Council and the City's Redevelopment Agency is being asked this evening to consider directing staff to implement a proactive code enforcement program for mobilehomes and providing an additional building inspector/code enforcement officer for such program as a separate agenda item. With the approval of funding for this position, staff has committed to inspecting all 32 mobilehome/troiler parks within an eight-year period. This will insure that all mobilehome/trailer parks within the City are inspected and brought up to a minimum level of health and safety regardless of the rent review process. . Factors to Consider for Rent Increases in Excess of the Permissive In considering those rent increases in excess of the Annual permissive rent increase, the Commission may consider seven factors. Staff has proposed an expansion of these factors to <g ~ c.f PAGE 5, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 provide more specificity, such as better descriptions of fair and reasonable return, investment in park improvements, operating costs, and available improvements, services and features. More specifically, the fair return factor addresses the expense side of the equation but did not explicitly require income information and the historical rate of return. . Vacancy Decontrol Currently, the City's review of rent increases also applies to those individual spaces receiving a rent increase upon change of ownership of a mobilehome to remain within the park, also known as vacancy control. In 1989, the City opted to implement some form of vacancy control so that there is a balance in wealth or protection of both the park resident's and park owner's investment in their property. Rent increases are allowed and there are no limitations in the amount of the increase. However, such increases are not considered automatic. Currently, there is a process of notification of both seller and buyers of rent increases in excess of the annual permissive increase and their right to a hearing before the Commission. All parties have the ability to voluntarily negotiate an appropriate rent increase. Should such an agreement be reached, there is no opportunity for review by the Commission. The most appropriate time to significantly increase rents is at such time there is a change of mobilehome ownership. The new resident has the choice of buying the mobilehome with the full knowledge of the rent to be offered. In the case of existing mobilehome residents when faced with a significant rent increase, their options are limited. Their decision to either accept such a rent increase or find other living arrangements can be influenced by the high costs of moving the mobilehome, if it is even possible, or the burden of selling the mobilehome at a higher rent. Consistent with the purpose of Chapter 9.50, it is proposed that regulations pertaining to rent increases upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome be eliminated. Park owners should not be precluded from receiving a just and reasonable return on their property due in part to the regulation of space rents upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome. One method to ensure that park owners receive a fair and reasonable return on their property is to allow space rents to be renegotiated upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome. Should park owners raise their rents to an unreasonable level, it is anticipated that praspective mobilehome owners will not be willing to pay such rents and park owners will adjust their rents to market levels. Therefore, regulation of space rents upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome is not required. A finding to address the issue of regulating rent increases upon change of ownership is proposed. g---~ PAGE 6, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 . Riqht to Mediate Resale Price In light of the deletion of vocancy control, there is no need to mediate resale prices. There is only a need to mediate mobilehome resale prices when it is believed that vacancy control drives up resale prices. . Monitorinq It is proposed that a process be established for mobilehome residents who believe that their park owner may have violated the rent increase provisions of Chapter 9.50. Residents alleging such violation must first meet with the park owner to try to resolve such dispute. However, if resolution belween the resident and park owner cannot be reached, the resident may then file a complaint, along with compelling evidence demonstrating such violation, to the City. The City upon review of the complaint may determine if an audit for the last three years of the particular space is required to determine compliance with Chapter 9.50. Currently, park owners are required to provide a copy of the notice to residents to increase space rent, whether or not the increase is above the applicable CPI. Staff then reviews such rent increase notices for compliance. Over the years, only a few parks have complied with the requirement to submit a copy of the rent increase notice. Typically, park owners issue rent increase notices upon the anniversary (move in) date of the specific resident. Therefore, with 32 parks comprised of 3,536 spaces, the City could receive thousands of rent increase statements all throughout the year. This requirement will be eliminated and verification of compliance will be down on a case by case basis as initiated by park residents. . Clean-up/ Housekeepinq The effectiveness of the Ordinance hinges on a mobilehome/trailer park resident's knowledge of their rights and responsibilities covered by the law. The City's involvement in the review of rents and settlement of rent disputes is triggered not by a park owner's application for rent increases but by residents notifying the City of rent disputes. Without the knowledge that the Ordinance exists or how the law works, residents will be unable to appropriately invoke their rights under the law. Over the years in trying to implement Chapter 9.50, staff has found its overall format and language to be confusing to interpret and understand, particularly for mobilehome residents. It is difficult to understand because of the structure or ordering of the sections and some processes and definitions are unclear or vague in their description. The proposed revisions are intended to be readable and user friendly in their format. Mobilehome/trailer parks and their relationship with their tenants are also regulated by State Mobilehome Residency Law (Civil Code Sections 798-799). Chapter 9.50 should be consistent with State law. Some of the proposed revisions are being proposed to ensure (f-Co PAGE 7, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 consistency. For example, revisions to the definitions of space rent and other allowable pass throughs are proposed for better clarity and consistency with State law. Required notices and forms are included within the body of the text of Chapter 9.50. To provide better clarity, it is proposed that such notices and forms be consolidated into an Appendix of Chapter 9.50. CONCLUSION The key objective of the proposed revisions is to provide a rent process that is fair to both park owners and residents and is effective in maintaining this fairness. Therefore, those revisions proposed as general clean-up/housekeeping in nature are required to ensure the proper implementation and administration of Chapter 9.50. The major revisions proposed, inspection of those parks looking at rent increases in excess of the permissive CPI and the limitation of rent increases when the CPI exceeds 3 percent, are also viewed as necessary to encourage fairness in the rents being charged to residents. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed revisions will result in an increased staff commitment of time and resources for the investigation and determination of serious code violations for those parks requesting rent increases in excess of the annual permissive rent increase. It has been determined that the Planning and Building Department will require an additional 1.0 FTE inspector to implement the proposed revisions to Chapter 9.50, the Title 25 inspection program, and the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP). The work priority of this position will be based upon need. In FY 01/02, the impact to the City/Redevelopment Agency will be $52,597 and in FY 02/03 the impact is $61,216 to fund the costs of personnel, services, and supplies. City Council and the City's Redevelopment Agency will be asked to consider the funding of one additional building inspector/code enforcement officer to implement the proactive code enforcement program for mobilehomes and the CHIP this evening as a separate agenda item.

The City Council finds that there is presently, within the City of Chula Vista, a shortage of rental spaces for the location of mobilehomes, and an inadequate number of mobilehome rental spaces to meet the total demand in this City for those spaces. The City Council finds that this limited supply of mobilehome spaces in this City has resulted in low vacancy rates and contributes to escalatinl> space rents in a manner that would, in the absence of re~ulation, allow for unconscionable increases of rents to mobile home park residents. B. The City Council further finds that the lUlique nature of the ownership of a mobilehome within a mobilehome park makes mobilehome owners particularly vulnerable to the threat of loss of their investment in their mobilehome. Due to the high cost of moving mobilehomes; the potential for damal>e resultinl> from moving mobilehomes; the requirements for installing a mobilehome, includinl> permits, landscaping and site preparation; the lack of alternative homesites for mobilehome owners; and the substantial investment mobilehomeowners make in their coaches, mobilehome owners lack the ability to move their of mobility of mobilehomes without a substantial loss in their investment. This lack of mobility, coupled with a shorta~e of rental spaces, provides park owners with the ability to establish excessive and unconscionable rents which, if unregulated, -would result in the impairment of a mobilehome owner's inveshnent in their home. C. The Citv Council further finds that mobilehomes comprise a significant form of housing available within the City of Chula Vista and can be a more affordable housing choice than apartments or single-family homes. The City Council finds that tlle supply of both mobilehome spaces and mobilehomes available for rent is not adequate to meet the demand, and that as a result, the limited supply of such spaces and mobilehomes contributes to escalating rents in a manner that would, in the absence of regulation, result in the elimination of mobilehomes as a source of affordable housing. D. The City Council further finds that there exists serious health and safety issues in mobilehome parks within this City which constitute violatioILs of the City's Municipal Code and/or State law. The City Council finds that increases in rents in excess of the annual permissive rent increase for parks where there exists such serious violations would. in the absence of regulation, allow for an unconscionable benefit to the park owner to the detriment of the health, safety. and welfare of mobilehome residents. As more fully set forth in Section 9.50.078 of this Chapter, the City Council finds that the provisioILs of this Chapter will promote and require a minimal level of health and safety conditions in those mobilehome parks seeking rent increases in excess of the annual permissive rent increase while also allowin~ park owners sufficient time and revenue to meet these minimal requirements. F. The City Council further finds that. because mobilehome parks generally have costs of operation which are cOILsiderably less than total gross income, it is not necessary to allow an automatic 100% Consumer Price Index (Cpn annual rent increase in order for mobilehome park owners to be able to maintain a fair. just. and reasonable rent. A number of cities in California do, in fact, limit annual rent increases without a review or hearing bv the City, to .75 times the CPI and/or provide a maximum 2 'g'-9 allowable rent increase. Therefore, it is appropriate to require iustification for any rent increase in excess of the annual permissive rent increase as set forth in this Chapter. G. It is the goal and obiective of the City that park owners should not be precluded from receiving a iust and reasonable return on their property due in part to the regulation of space rents upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome. TIle Citv Council finds that one method to ensure that park owners receive a fair and reasonable return on their property is to allow space rents to be deregulated upon the change of ownership of a mobilehome. The City Council further finds that prospective mobilehome owners have the ability to accept, negotiate or decline the offered space rent and therefore, regulation of space rents by the City is not required at this time. 9.50.005 Purpose. A. The City Council intends bv this Chapter to create a process to protect both mobilehome park owners and mobilehome park residents from excessive and unconscionable rent increases while simultaneously recognizing and providing for the need of mobilehome park owners to receive a iust and reasonable return on their property. B. The City Council intends bv this Chapter: (1) to prevent existing mobilehome owners, who are rendered largely incapable of moving their mobilehomes without suffering a substantial loss in their value, and from loss of their investment; (2) to protect and promote the availability of mobilehomes as a source of affordable housing; and (3) to encourage compliance with code requirements-aOO, to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of mobilehome park residents, and to provide for a fair rehlrn on the park owners' investment so that compliance with code requirements are financiallv feasible in such circumstances \vhere a rent increase in excess of the annual permissive rent increase is proposed. C. The City Council intends for the procedures contained in this Chapter to provide a mechanism for the resolution of disputed increases in rents by making it advantageous for mobilehome park residents and mobilehome park owners to establish a better Imderstanding of each other's positions which will result in agreement on the amount of rent to be charged. The procedures of the ordinance are established with the intent that they be accomplished in a timely fashion. The participating parties shall commit to the goal that the entire dispute resolution process be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of a disputed notice of rent increase. The eity intefuL by this chapter to maintain a supply of afforaable Rousing. The city eouocil finds that th.<cre is an ample stIpply of apartments for rent and that the apartment market place docs not neea regalation in order to kecp the renLe at an aff{)rdable level. TIle Council finds that the s:ipply of Hlobilehome space a':aibble for r-cnt i:J not adequate, and that as a rmult, the limited ~;upply of Gach spacer: in driving up the :;pace rent:; in a manner that would, in the absence of regulation result in tloe c1imir:ntion of affordable homing. The ci ty alao intends by this chapter to prc:ent e)(isting residents, who arc rendered largely incapable of moving their mobilehomes without suffering a substantial loss in their value, from being charged c)[ce.osiv€ and :mconscionable rents due to thi:; lack of n"obility. Tl"e Council find,; that the limitcd supply of mobilchoffi€ Gpace available for rent in thi:; city wouk!, il" the ab:;encc of regulation, allow f,Jr an Imcort;cionable enhancement of rcnt:; to clCding mobilehomc pJ1'k rcc;identC1. ?-r 0 3 The city also irJends by this ckapter to prcvent c"isting rcsidents, who arc rendered largely incapable of mo.' ing their mobilchomcc without safkring a substantial loss in their ':a:ue, from loss of tbe rcsale ya:ue of their mobilcl:omes due to the fact that an incomiq; res:deRt is beilOg charged e)(cess:ve rents. The Council fiI:&; that the limited "apply of mobild'.orne "pace ayailable for reI:t in thi:; city '/,o:Iid, in the ab5ence of cpace rent regulation at the time of sucl: Gale or 0!r.C!" vacaney, allow for an uI:co!1c.eionuble 10m 01 reGale valae 01 mobilehomes to e"iGtil:g mobikhome park residenlG.

Prior to or at the time of agreeing to rent to a new or prospective mobilehome resident in a mobilehome park, the park owner or their agent shall ascertain that the new or prospective mobilehome resident has received a copy of the disclosure specified in Section 9.50.085 of this Chapter. B. The park owner must follow all procedures and requirements for disclosure as set forth in this Chapter. C. Park owners must comply with the provisions of California Civil Code 798.70 et seq. related to transfers of mobilehomes. including the provisions of Civil Code Sections 798.75 and 798.75.5. 9.50.078 Findings Regarding Serious Code Violations. A. The City Cmmcil finds that there currently exists serious health and safety issues in certain mobilehome parks within the City. These health and safety issues are particularly acute in the older trailer parks in the City. In order to establish a minimal level of health and safetv standards which must exist in all mobilehome parks prior to any rent increase, the City Council finds that the violations listed in Appendix Two constitute serious code violations which may not exist within a mobilehome park at the time of a proposed rent increase in excess of the annual perrnissive rent increase. 18 f -2S-- B. The City Council further finds that the provisions of this Chapter provide for a sufficient return on investment and allow for a sufficient period of time to allow park owners to meet the minimal health and safety standards set forth herein. The City Council finds that adoption of this Chapter does not constitute an action or inaction by the City which will result in the closure, cessation or change of use of a mobilehome park. Except in these cases where the City Council. in its discretion, decides not to renew a conditional use permit or zoning variance as provided for in Government Code section 65863.7(i), the City Council finds that any closure, cessation or change in use of a mobilehome park occurring after the adoption of this Chapter is the result of the decision of the park owner, and, prior to any such closure, cessation or change in use, the mobilehome park owner must comply with the provisions of Government Code sections 65863.7 and 65863.8 as well as the provisions of the City's conversion ordinance, Chapter 9.40 of the Municipal Code. 9.50.079 Notice of Serious Code Violations. Each park owner shall comply with the notice requirements contained in Section 9.50.063. The Notice of a Rent Increase in Excess of the Annual Permissive Rent Increase shall be in substantially the form prescribed in Appendix One of this Chapter. Any review of the specific code violations listed in Appendix Two is not intended to substitute for the comprehensive inspection program for mobilehome/trailer parks administered by the Planning; and Building Department in compliance with Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. 9.50.081 Denial or Partial Reduction of Rent Increases Based Upon Code Violations. The violations which may result in a denial or reduction in any proposed rent increase which is in excess of the annual permissive rent increase are limited to those listed in Appendix Two. Each year, the Community Development Department shall send a copy of Appendix Two to each park for posting in a common area as required above. Violations listed in Appendix Two hereto may be modified from time to time by the City Manager without necessity of additional ordinance by the City Council. In making a determination regarding whether to permit that rent increase which is in excess of the annual permissive rent increase when serious code violations exist. the Commission and City staff shall have the discretion to work with a park owner to bring a park into compliance over a period of time. If a park owner contends that immediate compliance would result in the immediate closure of a park, the Commission and City staff shall consider this contention and address the issues of compliance on a case-by- case basis. However. the City Council finds that compliance with the minimal health and safety standards provided for herein will not result in such closures. (part), 1998). 9.50.085 9.50.012) Compliance with Law and Posting and Disclosure Requirements. (Previously known as Every mobilehome park owner shall comply with the provisions of the Mobilehome Residency Law (Chapter 2.5. Section 798 of the California Civil Code>. and the provisions of this Chapter. Also. a copy of the Mobilehome Residencv Law and this Chapter shall be prominentlv posted in a common area of each park's premises at all times. 19 g~2lo In addition. the information contained in the disclosure below shall be provided as follows: (1) when a mobilehome in a park is to be sold and it will remain in the park, the seller shall show the disclosure to all potential buyers; (2) the park owner will ascertain that a buver of a mobilehome that will remain in the park knows about the disclosure; and, (3) a copy of the disclosure shall be an addendum to everv rental agreement. MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 9.50 DISCLOSURE Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 9.50, Mobilehome Park Space Rent Review, governs all mobilehome park spaces for leases of 12 months or less. For leases of more than 12 months, Chapter 9.50 does not apply, per Section 9.50.012 and state law. Chapter 9.50 ~enerally applies to, but is not limited to, rent control measures. Of particular interest is Section 9.50.063, which details the noticing requirements for increases in space rent in excess of the annual permissive rent increase. If the annual increase is greater than the applicable change in the CPL when the CPI is three percent (3%) or less, and 75 percent of that change in the CPI above three percent (3%), then the mobilehome owner has the right to request a hearing from the Chula Vista Mobilehome Rent Review Commission for enforcement of Chapter 9.50. This hearing must be requested within 30 days of receiving such written statement by submittin~ a Request for Hearing Form the City of Chula Vista Community Development Department, the address of which is listed below.

A mobilehome resident may refuse to pay any increase in rent which is in violation of this Chapter. Such refusal to pav shall be a defense in any action brought to recover possession of a mobilehome space or to collect a rent increase. 20 ~-). 7 9.50.092 Retaliatory Eviction. In any action brought to recover possession of a mobilehonle or lTIobilehonle space, the court shall consider as grounds for denial any violation of anv provision of this Chapter.

SUBMlnED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING DIRECTOR REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGERW L of 4/5THS VOTE: YES 0 NO D BACKGROUND The preservation and improvement of affordable housing is critical to the long-term interests of the City of Chula Vista. Therefore, a proposed new Building Inspector 11/ Code Enforcement Officer II position will be assigned the responsibility of conducting inspections of mobile home parks and providing field assistance to the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP). Due to financial limitations imposed by the State of California, the existing Title 25 Mobile Home Park Inspection Program is not staffed at a level that can adequately respond to the deteriorating conditions found in some of the City's mobile home and trailer parks. This position will supplement those efforts, and will be funded from a combination of the General Fund and Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution directing staff to implement a code enforcement program for inspecting mobile home parks and providing field support for the Community Housing Improvement Program, amending the current budget by adding one Building Inspector II/Code Enforcement Qfficer II position; appropriating an additional $52,597 to the Planning & Building Department based on unanticipated revenue for staff reimbursement ($26,897) from the Redevelopment Agency Low & Moderate Income Fund and $24,400 from the Available Fund Balance in the General Fund; Amend the FY 02/03 spending plan by increasing the allocation for the Planning & Building Department by $61,216 based on increased reimbursement revenue from the Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. q-I PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Mobile Home Park Inspection Proaram For over twenty five years, the City of Chula Vista has assumed the responsibility for enforcement of State mandated compliance with Title 25 Health and Safety requirements in mobile home parks. The City currently has 33 mobile home parks with 3,550 lots. For the last several years the City's ability to conduct periodic inspections of entire mobile home parks has been restricted due to State imposed limitations on charging appropriate inspection fees. This has resulted in staff only being able to respond to complaints relating to individual lots. In conjunction with the adoption of the revised Mobilehome Park Space Rent Review Ordinance, staff is now proposing to add a new Building Inspector II/Code Enforcement Officer II, whose primary responsibilities (estimated at 60% to 65% of overall work hours) will be to: · Respond to inspection requests mandated by the revised Mobilehome Park Space Rent Review Ordinance, and · Conduct a proactive Title 25 mobile home park inspection program for all mobile home parks. The Title 25 inspection program will focus on identifying and eliminating fire and life safety deficiencies in our mobile home parks. The priority order in which individual parks are inspected will be based on recommendations from Community Development Department staff as well as observations of Code Enforcement staff. The overall objective is to complete a Title 25 inspection of every park in the City within a five to seven year period. Community Housina Improvement Proaram (CHIP) The Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) provides loans and grants to rehabilitate single-family and mobile homes within the City of Chula Vista. The intent of the program is to provide financial assistance to homeowners primarily to correct health and safety issues, and upon completion of these repairs, to make cosmetic improvements to the property. Previously, Council approved revisions to the highly successful CHIP. These revisions allow for more effective implementation and oversight of the program. An integral component to implementing this program is the availability of field support staff to conduct property inspections and to work with homeowners and contractors. The role of the field staff person is to implement and enforce the Program's goals and procedures. The new Building Inspector II/Code 9-~ PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 01/15/02 Enforcement Officer II will provide field support for this program at on estimated 35% to 40% of its total work hours. It should be noted that the actual staff time required to support both the mobile home park inspection program and the Communify Housing Improvement Program, os described above, will be closely monitored. If it is determined that either program requires greater field stoff support than is currently estimated, stoff will return to Council to obtain further direction on program priorities and/or authorization for additional stoff. FISCAL IMPACT In FY 01/02 net impact to the General Fund will be $24,400, which will fund the purchase and maintenance of 0 vehicle, computer, furniture and equipment necessary for code enforcement program. The impact to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund will be $26,897 in FY 01/02 and $61,216 in FY 02/03 which will fund personnel and services and supplies costs. Ongoing impact to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund will be $61,216 to fund this program. Any further impacts will be subject to Cify Council approval during the budget process.

To do this requires that we develop the following organizational culture in the City organization, by deYelopin~ this or~anizationa] culture in each de.vartment: . We are in the "People Business." Qur clientele base is the citizens of Chula Vista; "Citizen's inquiries are service requests, not complaints." · We are "Good people doing good work," We will proyide good service in an ethical, principled, responsive, and cost-effectiye manner, and at the highest quality possible. . We will strive for excellence, not mediocrity, "If we do it, do it right." · The organization should have a bias toward action and should yiew the City Manager's office as a "catalyst for change"---change gives our employees the opportunity to excel. · We should surround ourselves with strong, competent people, · "Yes people" will hurt our organization. The organization needs people who dare to tell us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. · The work enyironment should encourage diyersity of opinion and ideas. · Teamwork and camaraderie strengthens an organization and giyes eyeryone ownership of the successes. We will strive to deyelop team work where it is appropriate and camaraderie at all times, · As an organization, we should constantly be making an effort to "Find a Star". We should provide the opportunities for staff to deyelop and to grow in their jobs. · We should recognize that when you ayoid conflict, you live in conflict all of the time. . We will work to establish work programs, goals, and objectiyes, and monitor and eyaluate their status. The work that we do cannot simply be paper-pushing. · We will maintain clearer lines of communication throughout the organization. In the culture, anticipation and preyention should be emphasized so that we can avoid unnecessary problems. The inyolvement of the City Attorney's office, Finance Department, and Human Resources at the early stages of a project or issue will assist in keeping little problems little. · It is essential that, in the organization, for ourselves and others, that we make time to self-rejuyenation; spend time with our families, take vacations, and seek spiritual support. · Finally, while it is easy to say "Have fun", we all find it difficult to haye fun when there is so much work to be done, and, after all, work is work. But, by deyeloping teams and working closely with people achieying shared goals, we will haye fun. There is nothing that feels better or is more enjoyable than working with others in a team which allows eyeryone involyed to cooperate in a creatiye manner. / r DRAFT~ .ofiph ~oY\J"1 rf'6 Organizational Values INTEGRITY The core of our public service.
