Investment Fund (LAIF) and designating the Director of FinancefTreasurer and Assistant
Director of Finance as authorized signatures for LAIF transactions.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.

Investors in LAIF have grown from 293 participants and $468 million in 1977 to 2,750
participants and $21.9 billion in 2004. The City and Agency have a combined balance of
$28.4 million invested in LAIF as of July 20, 2004 at a rate of 1.469%. This item is
necessary to designate the Names and Titles of officials authorized to order deposits and

obligations.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), a voluntary program created by statute, began
in 1977 as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts.
This program offers participating agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio

Meeting Date 6/15/04
1953 and has oversight provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an
in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB Board members are the State Treasurer,
Director of Finance, and State Controller.
The LAIF has oversight by the Local Investment Advisory Board (LlAB). The Board
consists of five members as designated by Statute. The Chairman is the State Treasurer,
or his designated representative. Two members qualified by training and experience in the
field of investment or finance, and two members who are Treasurers, finance or fiscal
officers or business managers employed by any County, City or local district or municipal
corporation of this state, are appointed by the State Treasurer. The term of each
appointment is two years or at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
All securities are purchased under the authority of the Government Code Section 16430
and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a
delivery versus payment basis using a third party custodian. All investments are purchased
at market, and market valuation is conducted monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals, and Objectives for the portfolio to make certain
that our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized and that prudent
management prevails. These policies are formulated by investment staff and reviewed by
both the PMIB and the LlAB on an annual basis.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City or to the Agency. This resolution is
a "housekeeping item" necessary to authorize new signatures for the LAIF accounts.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~ I (4/5thsVote:Yes_No.K...)
The City Council previously approved CIP project GG-139 which involves the renovation of the
Civic Center Complex. A Master Plan for the renovations was approved in July of 2001. On
February 18, 2003 the City Council approved a Design Build Agreement ("Agreement") with
HPI and appropriated sufficient funds to undertake the design ofthe project.
Since the execution of the Agreement, design activities on the project have proceeded. During
this phase of activity, a number of substantive changes have been proposed with respect to the
design of the complex that will result in higher costs than originally contemplated but add
significant value to the overall project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the resolutions adopting the amended Mitigated Negative
Declaration and amending the Civic Center Master Plan and approving the First Amendment to
the Design Build Agreement with Highland Partnership, Inc. (HPI) for the provision of services
required for the design and construction of renovations to the City's Civic Center Complex
pursuant to the amended Master Plan, approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the
renovations of the Civic Center Complex, and authorize the Mayor to execute said amendment to
the Agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
The Resource Conservation Commission unanimously approved the revised Mitigated Negative
Declaration with respect to the proposed changes to the Master Plan on November 17, 2003.

Meeting Date: 8/3/04
BACKGROUND:
In July of 2001, the Final Master Plan for the renovations to the Civic Center was presented to
and approved by Council. These renovations include City Hall, the Public Services Building, the
former Police Department and the demolition of the Legislative Building and the Community
Development Building. The proposed modifications to the Master Plan modify the project to
provide for the demolition and construction of a new City Hall and renovations to the Public
Services Building and former Police Department. With the completion of the new Police
Facility, the former Police Facility becomes available to the City for temporary offices while the
other buildings in the Civic Center complex are renovated (City Hall and Public Services
Building) or removed (Legislative Building and Community Development Building). The first
component of the project will be the demolition and reconstruction of City Hall. Upon
completion of City Hall, the Public Services Building will be renovated. Finally, the current
Police Department building will be renovated.
All of these improvements will enable the City to enhance the services it provides to the public,
make the public's ability to undertake business with the City more efficient and provide the
City's employees with efficient and productive workspaces. The related surface improvements
will provide adequate on-site parking for all City employees and sufficient visitor parking.
The approved Master Plan also included a fourth component which is the relocation of existing
Fire Station No.1 to the site of the current Ken Lee Building. This component was not intended
to be constructed with the remainder of the Civic Center complex and was not included in the
original environmental document prepared for the Civic Center Master Plan. The City's General
Fund or other appropriate non-development impact fee funds would fund the Fire Station No. I
phase. Staff will return to Council at a future date when it appears that both funding and
operational functionality require that the relocation of Fire Station No. I be considered for
implementation.
PROJECT SCOPE AND CONTRACTUAL REOUIREMENTS
As proposed, the Design/Build Agreement and First Amendment with Highland Partnership, Inc.
will provide the City with fully functional buildings within the Civic Center complex. The
building and site improvements are more fully described in the revised Master Plan and amended
Design/Build agreement.
The cost of the renovations of the Civic Center complex is based on the GMP for the entire
complex and shall not exceed the amount set forth in the amended agreement. This price
includes all soft and hard costs necessary to provide fully completed and functional facilities and
includes, but is not limited to, the cost of labor, equipment and material, the design/build fixed
fee (which includes fees and expenses of any type associated with the completion of the project,
and will be discussed in detail later in this report and contingency fund). Any costs in excess of
the GMP shall be the responsibility ofHPI unless otherwise approved by the City. The original
agreement provided that the GMP, to be submitted by HPI when the Design Development phase
has been completed, would not exceed $28,081,000. During the course of the design activities
and the significant changes in scope that are proposed, the proposed GMP is being recommended
to increase to $38,346,000. The GMP does not include D/B reimbursables. The reasons for this
increase are discussed below. This amount includes all design costs, all hard construction costs,

Design/Builder fees and Design/Builder contingencies. It does not include DesignlBuilders
reimbursables, direct City costs, City provided FF &E, City insurance or City contingencies.

Council will note that two contingency funds exist. A construction contingency, which HPI
may, subject to City Staff approval, use to address change orders submitted by it's
subcontractors, and an owner's (City) contingency. The owner's contingency is used by the City
when requesting design changes not contemplated in the approved design. The contractor's
contingency is estimated at approximately 5% of the project costs, the City's contingency is
2.5% of total project costs. The contractor's contingency is spread evenly throughout the project
It is the desire of both the City and HPI to avoid using this contingency fund to the extent
possible. At the substantial completion of each component, any unused contingency funds will
~-4
Page 5, Item: ~
Meeting Date: 8/3/04
be rolled into the next component or be returned to the City and reduce the GMP accordingly.
Given recent volatility in the construction market which is discussed in much greater detail in the
following section, it is likely that any unused contingency would remain within the project until
final completion of the entire project. At the final completion of Component C, any unused
contingency funds will be returned to the City.
PROJECT COST ESCALATION
In addition to the project contingency, the amended agreement contemplates an escalation clause
due to the recent extreme volatility in the subcontractor and vendor pricing construction field.
This volatility has resulted in extremely large increases in costs for some construction materials,
ih particular steel, lumber, drywall and concrete. Both the City and HPI recognize that due to the
lengthy duration of the project that there could be swings in the costs of materials and labor
during the timeframe of the project. To protect both the City and HPI from unexpected large
costs increases, a provision has been added to the agreement that should the nationally
recognized En¡zineerin¡z News Record 20 City Building Construction Cost Index exceed a
historically normal escalation rate of 3%, then either the GMP will be adjusted by the difference
and added to the contingency fund, the City may require sufficient value engineering adjustments
to compensate for the increase, the City may institute the termination provisions contained within
the Design Build Agreement or the City may make transfers within the project budget to address
these out of the ordinary cost increases. In the case of the former, Council may be asked for
additional appropriation of funds. An increase in the GMP does not necessarily mean that
additional appropriations will be needed. As discussed above, HPI cannot utilize the
contingency fund without explicit approval of the City.
It should also be noted that the reuse of the former Police Department as a temporary home for
City Staff as the City Hall and the Public Services Building are renovated results in significant
savings as compared to renting a comparable amount of office space on the commercial market.
Component A includes a cost of $655,000 for interim improvements to the former Police
Department. This matter was addressed in the Civic Center Master Plan and the projected
savings at that time were estimated at $1.5 million.
The below table summarizes the changes in the projected cost of the project from the time of
approval of the Design Build Agreement to this point in time:
SCOPE MODIFICATIONS
.s-~
Page 6, Item: -.L
Meeting Date: 8/3/04
As the design of the project got underway, the issue of the Council Chambers became a major
focus of attention very quickly. The original master plan contemplated that the existing Council
Chambers in the Public Services Building would be renovated with the rest of the building. As
detailed design activities proceeded forward, it became clear that the assumption that the Council
Chambers could be renovated in the same location and provide the kind of facility in terms of
size, capacity, sight lines, audio/visual technology and accessibility that the City ought to have
would be problematic. Recognizing this issue, the design team embarked on an exploration of
alternate Council Chambers location. This exploration included both a review of the City's
ability to house the Council Chambers within the complex in a different location and also a
review of a number of other Council Chambers in the San Diego region.
At the conclusion of this exploration, it was concluded that the best place for the Council
Chambers would be within the City Hall building itself. This move provides significant
operational efficiencies, enhanced security benefits and the only opportunity within the complex
to construct a Council Chambers that provides a fully functional facility that will meet both
current and future needs.
At about the same time, an in-depth structural analysis was being performed on the existing City
Hall Building. The original master plan called for the demolition of all of City Hall except the
original front portion of the building. The construction methods utilized to construct the original
building, unfortunately, did not dovetail structurally, efficiently, or ftom a cost perspective with
how the remainder of City Hall would be reconstructed. The original master plan desired to
maintain the traditional façade of City Hall. It was determined by the design team that the
existing City Hall building should be completely demolished and reconstructed with the
traditional front façade being rebuilt to exactly match the original building.
The relocation of the Council Chambers, while having a substantial impact on City Hall, also had
a "trickle down" impact on the other buildings. To accommodate the Council Chambers and
construct the new City Hall within the build-able envelope of land (i.e. between Fire Station No.
I and the Legislative Office Building) required the relocation of staff that have always been
planned to be housed in City Hall to another building. Specifically, the Human Resources
Department is now proposed to be permanently located in the former Police Department as
opposed to in City Hall. Since both the Public Services Building and former Police Department
are not being expanded but simply renovated almost exclusively within the current exterior
walls, this created a space allocation challenge as insufficient space was left to accommodate all
required uses including adequate space for expansion. To effectively provide the needed office
space, it was determined to renovate the basement of the former Police Department far more
extensively than had been originally planned. In addition the Management and Information
Systems offices will be expanded in the basement, additional conference rooms, a large training
room and improved gym facilities are also proposed to be constructed in the basement.
As shown above, the costs of City Hall and former Police Department have accounted for 84%
of the project costs increase. The Public Services Building has not materially changed from a
budgetary perspective, but it will be far more efficiently planned with the elimination and
adaptive reuse of the Council Chambers space as office space.
Lastly, as discussed in the Project Escalation section, the basic costs for construction have
increased substantially in the past four to six months. These increased costs are not unique to
s- fÞ
Page 7, Item: ~
Meeting Date: 8/3/04
Chula Vista. A recent article in the San DiefIo Union Tribune (7/10/2004) discussed the 16%
increase in costs that the City of Escondido experienced in estimates from approximately one
month ago illustrates the conditions under which construction projects are now proceeding. The
article is provided as Attachment No.7. Also, in an effort to minimize the effects of these
unforeseen increases in material and labor the City and HPI have worked collaboratively to
attempt to identify potential project costs savings. Toward that end, over $1.2 million in value
engineering project modifications have been made to the project. While significant, these
modifications have not negatively impacted functionality and will not prevent the City from
constructing high quality facilities.
The specific changes to the original Master Plan are shown on Attachment No. I
FEES
With the revisions in the scope of the project the fixed fee that HPI will receive for the
management, oversight and payment of the architectural, engineering and other professional
consultants utilized by HPI as well as the construction fixed fee that BPI will receive will be
increased.
In the original agreement, HPI was to be paid a total fixed fee of$6,721,000. With this fee, BPI
covers its overhead, as well as the payment of all architects, engineers (structural, civil,
mechanical), space planners, interior designers, landscape architects, lighting and audio/visual
consultants, security consultants and other professionals as appropriate. This also includes HPI's
overhead costs during the construction phase which, due to the expanded scope and duration of
the project, has resulted in higher overhead costs than originally anticipated.
In the amended agreement, HPI's fees will now be $3,694,000 for all pre-construction activities
(an increase of $107,000) and $3,923,000 for construction services (an increase of $789,000) for
a total of $7,617,000. The payment schedule for the fees, as well as the remainder of the project,
is shown on Attachment 4. All payments will be made in accordance with a payment schedule
that is solely based on the progress of the work.
It should be noted that while the project budget categorizes the above as "Design Builders Fixed
Fee", this is a bit misleading. The actual fees that HPI will receive for the project are $557,000
for Design (1.81 % of hard construction costs) and $1,441,000 for Construction Services (4.69%
of hard construction costs). These fees are consistent with industry standards, are less than the
percentage of fees the City paid to HPI for the recently completed Police Headquarters and are
comparable to other designlbuild projects the City is currently engaged in.
The reasonableness of the proposed fee has been reviewed and recommended by the City's
Project Manager, Mr. Kip Howard of Allegis Development Services upon his experience in the
designlbuild field. In evaluating the proposed fees, Mr. Howard evaluated those designlbuild
projects for which he has had project management oversight and compared them with HPI's
proposed fee schedule. Given the complexity of the project in that three separate and distinct
existing buildings will be reconstructed or renovated, along with their related site improvements
such as parking, landscaping, etc., this percentage is well within a reasonable expectation for
such a fee. Please note that HPI's fee also reflect their assumption of risk inherent in the
designlbuild process.

PROJECT CONSTRUCTION. DEMOLITION AND COMPLETION DATES
At this point in time, the pre-construction phase is nearly complete. HPI has submitted
construction documents, which the City is in the process of reviewing, but other aspects of the
design that they were required to provide (master plan confirmation, schematic design and design
development plans) have previously been provided. In addition and in accordance with the
original agreement, work has already commenced on the first phase of interim improvements in
the former Police Department. Below is the anticipated construction schedule for all three
components:

PROJECT FINANCING
As noted on page 5 of this report, the total estimated project cost is $50,148,000. As of this date,
$5,870,750 has been appropriated from the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund
(PFDIF). Of this amount, $1,845,198 was spent on the original Master Plan. The balance of
funds, not all of which have yet been expended, are being utilized for all of the design activities
as well as the construction ofthe interim improvements in former Police Department. Council
will be considering the financing of the project as a separate action immediately following and
predicated upon approval of this resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

Page 9, Item: Ó
Meeting Date: 8/3/04
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act. Based upon the results of this review, the
Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the project could result in significant
effects on the environment. However, revisions to the project made or agreed to by the applicant
would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where no significant effects would
occur; therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, IS-04-013.
The original Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Civic Center is attached as Attachment No.
2. The amended Mitigated Negative Declaration discussed above is attached as Attachment No.
3. The design and construction of the Civic Center Renovations is in conformance with the
approved environmental document as amended.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this item will establish the guaranteed maximum price of the project under the
provisions of the DesignlBuild Agreement $38,346,000. The total project cost is $50,148,000. It
is the intent of the City to fully finance the project through the issuance of bonds or certificates
of participation. Based upon the formula established in the Public Facilities Development Fee
Amendment (November 2002), the PFDIF will be responsible for 84% of the overall costs ofthe
project and the General Fund will be responsible for the remaining 16%. The PFDIF share
exceeds the amount that the fee was based on and it is staffs intention to present to the City
Council an update of the PFDIF, not exclusively limited to the Civic Center component, upon the
completion of City's General Plan update. It is also anticipated that the costs incurred to date by
the PFDIF fund will be reimbursed by the proceeds of the financing.

A. PROJECT SETTING
The existing Civic Center Complex is bordered by Fourth Avenue to the east, Davidson Street to
the north, and F Street to the south. The Civic Center is already developed and includes
Administrative Building, the Public Service Building and the existing Police Headquarters along
, with parking and landscaping.
A part of the proposed Civic Center Master Plan Update is the construction of a new police
headquarters facility. Four locations are being considered for the police headquarters. The
setting associated with each of the four alternative sites is discussed below.
Mercy. The Mercy site is a 5-acre parcel located at the southwest corner of Fourth
Avenue and F Street. The site is fully developed and includes office buildings, an
SDG&E substation, surface parking and landscaped areas. The existing administrative
offices within the Civic Center are located across F Street to the north. Commercial uses
associated with the Commercial site alternative are located on the other side of Fourth
A venue to the east Multi-family residences are adjacent to the western boundary of the
Mercy site. Single-family homes are adjacent to the south. The City of Chula Vista
recently purchased the former Mercy office building and adjacent parking which together
~--II
--
represents approximately 1.6 acres of the total 5-acre lot- City staff are currently located
in this building.
Commercial. The Commercial site is located at the southeast comer of Fourth Avenue
and F Street. The site is improved with an office building, a commercial strip center,
surface parking and landscaped areas. Surrounding uses include the City of Chula Vista
Library to the north, a commercial office building and parking garage-to the east,
condominiums to the south and a bank building to the west. The City of Chula Vista
owns the EI Dorado Office building which is located on the west end of the site and
which represents 0.78 acres of the total 3.28 acre site.
Friendship Park. The Friendship Park site encompasses 4.0 acres and is located at the
southeast comer of Fourth Avenue and Davidson Street. The site is covered by
landscaping and walkways and is used as a passive park for picnicking, reading and
informal games. There are no buildings on the site. Surrounding uses include single-
family residences to the north and east, the City of Chula Vista Civic Center to the west,
and library to the south.
Corporation Yard. This 6.0-acre site is located at the northwest corner of F Street and
Woodlawn Avenue. The site is currently used by the City of Chula Vista for public
works equipment storage and servicing. Uses include administrative offices, garages,
vehicle repair facilities, storage areas and aboveground fuels tanks. Surrounding uses
include light industrial and multi-family residential to the south, multi-family to the east,
hotel and trolley station to the north, and railroad and 1-5 to the west.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project consists of the revision and adoption of the City of Chula Vista Civic
Center Master Plan and includes remodeling and expansion of the existing Civic Center complex
and the construction of a new City of Chula Vista Police Headquarters. The combined
improvements will total approximately 150,000 square feet of new building area and include
approximately 430 parking spaces. Another 450 parking spaces may be provided in a future
parking facility to be built within or in the vicinity of the Civic Center Complex; however, this
would be part of a future phase and is not considered as a part of this evaluation.
The remodeling and expansion of the Civic Center Complex is proposed to accomplish three
primary goals: (1) consolidate City departments currently located in offsite office buildings into
the Civic Center Complex, (2) expand and enhance the existing Administrative Building, and (3)
convert the existing Police Headquarters to public service offices to allow for departmental
consolidation and future growth.
As illustrated on Figure I, the existing Administrative Building will be remodeled and expanded
with another 15,000 square feet of space to a total of 33,000 square feet. Major uses which
would occur within the Administrative Building will include offices for the City Council
members, City Clerk, City Attorney, City Manager, Finance, and Human Resources. The
existing Public Service Building would be remodeled but the overall building area would remain
2 S -/2..
....-
at 29,000 square feet. The existing Police Headquarters building would be remodeled to
accommodate various Public Service Departments and to provide room for expansion as the
demand for City staff increases in the future. The total area of the Police Headquarters building
would remain at 50,000 square feet. In addition to the expansion and remodeling of buildings,
additional parking and landscape would be included in the Civic Center Complex.
As part of the proposed City of Chula Vista Civic Center Master Plan, the current Police
Headquarters would be moved ITom the Civic Center Complex to another location. The new
Police Headquarters would consist of a facility of approximately 135,000 square feet The
building would be two to three stories above grade and include a basement. The maximtnn
height of the building would be 50 feet. There would be approximately 430 parking spaces
provided in a combination of surface area and parking structure. The facility would
accommodate a maximurn of approximately 536 employees. It is anticipated that the patrols
ITom the facility would operate with two to four shifts per day, 24 hours a day. Vehicular traffic
would consist of police personnel, unsworn personnel and visitors. The activities at this site
would not include repair of the police vehicles and no fuel would be stored on site.
The relocation site for the Police Headquarters has not been determined as yet. There are four
sites which are currently being considered for the new Police Headquarters. Three of the sites
are in the immediate vicinity of the Civic Center Complex; these sites are referred to as the
Friendship Park site, Mercy site and Commercial site. It should be noted, however, that, on
December 5, 2000, the City Council directed staff to pursue rezoning the Friendship Park site to
park land. A fourth site, referred to as the Corporation Yard site, is located approximately one-
half mile west of the Civic Center Complex. While the size and uses associated with the
relocated Police Headquarters would remain essentially the same at all of the four alternative
sites, the configuration of the buildings and parking areas would be dependent upon the location.
Site plans for each of the four alternative sites for the Police Headquarters are illustrated in
Figures 2A through 2D; their location is identified in Figure 3.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached Environmental
Checklist) determined that the proposed project in combination with other pending development
in the area could have significant cumulative impacts on local traffic ~ While lighting
associated with the proposed Police 'Headcjuarters would not represent a significant health and
safety hazard, they could result in a significant land use compatibility impact by interfering with
sleep in nearby residential uses. Noise ITom heating and ventilation equipment associated with
the Police Headquarters could cause noise levels on adjacent residential property to exceed
desired levels. Operational noise (e.g. police sirens and prisoner loading/unloading) could
interrupt sleep in nearby residents. Construction of the Police Headquarters at the Friendship
Park site would have a significant impact on recreation opportunities by eliminating an existing
park. Excavation at the Civic Center Complex and any of the four alternative sites for the Police
Headquarters would impact geologic formations with a moderate to high potential to yield
significant fossils. All other potential environmental affects would not be significant.

Traffic
Impact: The increase in traffic associated with the remodeling and expansion of the Civic
- Center Complex and construction of a new Police Headquarters would increase the local traffic
volumes by an estimated 406 automobile tnps III the AM peak hour tratflC volumes and 530 trIps
i~ the PM peak hour. . ,---,"'--------"'-'-------

fi~dquarie~s. SeIectlOn of the Corporation Yar site would require additional right of way and a
new traffic signal to accommodate future traffic. Selection of the Friendship Park site would
require widening of Davidson Street to allow two-way traffic between Fourth Avenue and the
entrance driveway.
Mitigation: Traffic impacts associated with the proposed project would be reduced to below a
level of significance by the application of the following mitigation measures.
Mitigation Measure 1: Should the Friendship Park site be selected for the Police Headquarters,
the following roadway improvements shall be incorporated into the plans:
. Improve Davidson Street between Fourth Avenue and the entrance to the new facility to
provide for two-way traffic; and
. Install barriers at the entrance to the facility on Davidson Street to discourage Police
Headquarters traffic fi:om entering the neighborhood to the north.
Mitigation Measure 2: Should the Corporation Yard site be selected for the Police
Headquarters, the following roadway improvements shall be incorporated in the plans:
. Provide, as necessary, additional right of way along project fi:ontage on Woodlawn
Avenue to accommodate Class I Collector;
. Install traffic signal at F Street and Woodland Avenue; and
. Obtain an additional five feet of right of way along the north side of F Street adjacent to
the site.
Noise
Impact: Exterior heating and ventilation equipment associated with the relocated Police
Headquarters or Civic Center Complex remodeling and expansion could generate noise levels
which would cause the noise levels in adjacent residential areas to exceed the standards
established in City's Noise Ordinance.
Mitigation: Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce potential
heating and ventilation equipment noise to below a level of significance:
4 S-tc/.
Mitigation Measure 3: Prior to issuance of a building pennit for the Police Headquarters or
Civic Center Complex, a noise study shall be completed by a qualified acoustician to
demonstrate that the heating and ventilation equipment has been sufficiently screened to insure
that noise levels at the adjacent residentìal property lines do not exceed standards set forth in
Table III of the City's Noise Ordinance.
Land Use CompatibilitY
Impact: Light and noise associated with the proposed Police Headquarters could significantly
impact nearby residential uses; particularly during night and early morning hours. Spill light and
glare from outdoor light fIXtures ìnc1uding parking lot and security lighting could disrupt sleep
within adjacent residential units. Similarly, noise from police sirens, heating and ventilation
equipment, and prisoner delivery/pick up could disrupt sleep as well as other residential activities
such as television-watching and reading.
Construction noise could also impact nearby residents should the hours of operation extend into
the late night or early morning hours.
Mitigation: Land use compatibility impacts would be reduced to below a level of significance
through implementation of the following measures:
Mitigation Measure 4: The operations of the Police Headquarters shall be conditioned to
require the following:
. Police responding to emergency caBs from the Police Headquarters shall not operate
sirens until they reach a major thoroughfare (e.g. Fourth A venue or F Street);
. Prisoners shall be loaded or unloaded in the underground parking garage;
. Servicing of vehicles including testing sirens shall be prohibited; and
. Outdoor public address systems shall be prohibited.
Mitigation Measure 5: Prior to issuance of a building permit for the Police Headquarters, the
City shall develop a "Good Neighbor Policy". llis Policy shall include operational guidelines
and associated educational program for police personnel intended to minimize potential conflicts
with surrounding neighborhoods (e.g. screeching tire noise and radio noise from unattended
police vehicles). In preparing this Policy, the City .shall seek input fròm the surrounding
neighborhood.
Mitigation Measure 6: Construction shall be limited to the hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on
weekdays, and 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays. No construction shall occur on Sundays.
Mitigation Measure 7: All outdoor light fixtures would be equipped with shields to avoid
substantial spill light and/or glare onto adjacent residential areas.

Paleontolo~
Impact: Excavation within the Civic Center Complex or any of the four Police Headquarters
sites could encroach into geologic formations contaiIÚng important fossils.
Mitigation: Implementation of the following measure would reduce potential paleontological
impacts to.below a level of significance:
Mitigation Measure 8: A qualified paleontologist shall moIÚtor major excavation activities to
detennine if any important fossils could be adversely impacted. If important fossils could be
impacted, the paleontologists shall devise and implement an appropriate salvage program.
Recreation
Impact: Construction of the Police Headquarters on the Friendship Park site would result in the
loss of 3.5 acres of passive recreation area in the City's core. TIùs would have a sigIÚficant
irnpact on recreation opportunities in the area.
Mitigation: The loss of recreation would be reduced to below a level of sigIÚficance through
implementation ofthe following mitigation measure:
Mitigation Measure 9: Prior to issuance of a grading permit for a Police Headquarters on the
Friendship Park site, the City shall identify a replacement site trom Friendship Park within the
same viciIÚty, and approve a plan which would create passive recreation opportunities within
three years of the date the grading permit is issued.

I. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Tills section evaluates the potential envirorunental impacts of the proposed project using the
environmental checklist incorporated fÌom the CEQA Guidelines as amended in January I, 1999.
A "No Impact" answer is given when the information sources show that the impact does not
apply to the proposed project. A "Less than Significant Impact" is given when information
sources indicate that impacts or changes in the environment would occur, but those irnpacts are
below the threshold of significance. "Potentially Significant Impact" is indicated if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated
Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures. has reduced an effect from
"Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact."

c) Substantially degrade the existing visual 0 0 D ~
character or -quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or 0 D cg] 0
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
Explanation: The expansion and remodeling of the existing Civic Center will not have a
significant impact on aesthetics since the site is not located in the viewshed of an identified scenic
route, vista or view. Because the use already exits on-site, the addition of 15,000 square feet to the
existing Civic Center will not significantly impact views of surrounding properties.
None of the four alternative locations for the police headquarters is located within the viewshed of a
scenic route, vista or view. However, development of a new police headquarters at any of the four
alternative locations may result in a less than significant impact to light and glare due to a possible
intensification of land uses beyond what currently exists. While three of the four alternative
locations (Mercy, Commercial and Corporate Yard) are currently developed, the construction of the
police headquarters would alter existing land uses which might be perceived by surrounding uses as
a new source of light and glare- However, the impact would be reduced to a less than significant
level by incorporating shielding of exterior light and screening into the building design.
In addition to the potential increase in light and glare, development of a Police Headquarters at
the Friendship Park site would also change the visual character of the area by converting the site
úom landscaped open space to a developed condition. While the loss of the open space would
adversely affect the visual character, the impact would not reach a level of significance due to
the overall urbanized character of the surrounding area.

Explanation: The project site and alternative locations for the Police Headquarters would not
result in impacts to agricultural resources. The sites are fully developed and no agricultural
activity currently takes place on-site.

3. AIR QUALITY - Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be
relied upon to make the following detenninations.
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the D D ~ D
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute D D ~ D
substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net D D [SJ D
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial 0 0 0 [SJ
pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a D D 0 [SJ
substantial number of people?
3 S"-~7
..--
Explanation: The expansion and remodeling of the Civic Center and development at any of the
alternative locations for the Police Headquarters would not result in impacts to air quality since
the number of auto trips for both the Civic Center expansion and development of a new Police
Headquarters at any of the locations would not substantially increase from the current number of
auto trips at the existing Civic Center, Police Headquarters and other existing land uses.
There would be no substantial stationary emissions, no creation of objectionable ödors and no
alteration which might result in climate change. Since there would be no significant increase in
emissions considered to be hannful to air quality, there would no impacts to adjacent users.
The parking structures would be adequately ventilated to avoid air quality impacts to people
using the parking structure.

Explanation: The sites are devoid of native or sensitive natural vegetation. They are currently
developed with a variety of urban land uses including office buildings, paved surfaces and
landscaped areas. There are no endangered, sensitive species, habitats or wildlife ITÚgration
corridors on the project site or at any of the alternative locations for the Police Headquarters.
Therefore, the project would result in no impacts to biological resources.

5. CULTURAL RESOURCES - Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the 0 0 0 [Z]
significance of a historical resource as defined
in § 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the 0 0 0 [Z]
significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique 0 [ð] 0 0
paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturh any human remains, including those 0 0 0 k8J
interred outside offonnal cemeteries?
Explanation: The project site and alternative locations for the Police Headquarters will not
result in impacts to archaeological resources because there are no identified resources on-site and
the sites are already developed. None of the buildings which could be demolished to
accommodate the Police Headquarters are considered historic.
The geologic formation underlying the Civic Center Complex as well as all four of the Police
Headquarters alternative sites has a moderate to high potential for containing significant fossils.
Thus, excavation could impact fossil-bearing material. A qualified paleontologist shall monitor
the exCavation process. If significant fossils are encountered, the monitor shall undertake a
salvage plan, as necessary, to recover any significànt fossils.

6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS - Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential
substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as 0 0 ~ 0
delineated on the most recent Alquist-
Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map
issued by the State Geologist for the area or
based on other substantial evidence of a
known fault? Refer to Division of Mines
and Geology Special Publication 42.
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? 0 0 ~ 0
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including 0 0 ~ 0
liquefaction?
iv) Landslides? 0 0 0 ~
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of 0 0 ~ 0
topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is 0 0 ~ 0
unstable as a result of the project, and
potentially result in on or off site landslide,
lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in 0 0 ~ 0
Table 18-I-B of the Unifonn Building Code
(1994), creating substantial risks to life or
property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting 0 0 0 [ð]
the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater
disposal systems where sewers are not
available for the disposal of wastewater?
Explanation: There will be no changes in the existing topography or in any unique geologic or
physical features as a result of the Civic Center expansion and remodeling or development at any
of the possible Police Headquarters alternative locations. The project site and alternative
locations are all currently improved with existing buildings, asphalt parking and landscaped
areas. The project site and the four alternative locations for the Police Headquarters will require
grading and will result in minimal disruptions, displacements compaction or uncovering of soils.
6 5-3ð
The project site and the four alternative locations for the Police Headquarters are located in a
region where active faulting and seismically-induced ground shaking is possible. However,
these impacts are considered less than significant due to the implementation of the requirements
of the State of California and City of Chula Vista regarding earthquake-safe buildings.
Engineering geologic reconnaissances were conducted for each of the four alternative locations
for the Police Headquarters (LawGibb Group, 2000). While the geologic reconnaissances
indicated no geologic or soils conditions which would pose a significant risk to development,
appropriate mitigation measures will be incorporated to reduce potential impacts to a less than
significant level. Both a comprehensive geotechnical investigation and a Phase I Environmental
Site Assessrnent will be required as part of the City of Chula Vista stàndard requirements for
approval of a grading pennit for the site selected for the new Police Headquarters.
Implementation of the requirements of both reports would reduce impacts to a less than
significant level.
Possible increases in the wind or water erosion of soils are less than significant due to the
minimal amount of grading involved and through the implementation of best management
practices (BMP) such as desiltation basins, sandbags and other erosion control methods which
are required by the City of Chula Vista as part of the approval process for pennits.
Irnplementation of uniform building code CUBe) requirements will avoid the potential exposure
of people or property to geologic hazards at the proposed project site and at all of the alternative
locations for the Police Headquarters.

alternative locations for the Police Headquarters. The project site and alternative locations are
not located in the vicinity of safety hazards and there will be no increase in the use and storage of
hazardous materials beyond that wmch occurs currently. No hazardous ellÚssions would result
fi-om the proposed development
While Fourth Avenue is identified as one of the Evacuation Routes in the City's General Plan,
the project will not result in impacts since there will not be a significant increase in the overall
population in the vicinity. .
The project site is not located within two miles of a public or private airport.
As no wildland areas exist in the project area, no risk of wildland fires exists.

Explanation: Expansion of the Civic Center and development at any of the four alternative
locations for the Police Headquarters would not result in significant impacts to hydrology or
water quality. No use of groundwater would occur as the development would be connected to
the City water supply.
With the exception of the Friendship Park site, all of the project sites are already developed, no
significant increase in impermeable surface area would occur. Consequently, no substantial
increase in surface runoff would occur. Similarly, the proposed land uses would not be
significantly different ftom existing uses which would mean that the quality of surface runoff
would not diminish significantly. Implementation of current practices to control water runoff
contained in the City's Grading and Storm Water Management and Discharge Control
Ordinances would reduce impacts potential short-term water quality impacts to a less than
significant level. Runoff would be transported to existing storm drains serving the development
areas. Since the volume of runoff will not increase substantially, the existing storm drain system
will continue to accommodate runoff in the area.
Although development of Friendship Park would convert the mostly permeable surface area to
impermeable surface area, the increase in runoff would not be sufficient to overtax the existing
storm drain system serving the site. Standard drainage improvements incorporated into a future
Police Headquarters would be sufficient to avoid hydrology impacts. In addition., the small size
of the Police Headquarters building area in proportion to the overall drainage basin would
preclude significant water quality impacts ftom any urban runoff pollutants generated from the
site. FurtheImore, compliance with local and state requirements .for storage of hazardous
materials would avoid significant water quality impacts from the use of any such materials
associated with operation ofthe Police Headquarters.

coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted
for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat 0 0 0 ¡:g]
conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
Explanation: The proposed project would not physically divide the land uses which currently
exist within the general vicinity of the Civic Center Complex and Police Headquarters alternative
sites. All of the affected areas are already developed with non-residential uses. No streets would
be closed as a result of the proposed project. Although barriers would be constructed on
Davidson Street in the event the Friendship Park site is selected for the Police Headquarters,
these barriers would only discourage Police Headquarters traffic fj-om entering the adjacent
residential area. It would not constrain residential access.
While the proposed project would not physically divide the surrounding community, the Police
Headquarters would potentially impact surrounding residential areas due to lighting and noise
associated with the proposed use. As discussed in Sections I and II of this Environmental
Checklist, the lighting and noise associated with the Police Headquarters would not create
significant health and safety impacts. However, these factors could result in significant land use
compatibility conflicts with adjacent residential uses by creating nuisance-level impacts. Land
use compatibility impacts could be significant dilring late night and early morning hours when
nearby residents are trying to sleep.
Excess light spill and glare into slèeping quarters could disrupt sleep activities. Potential light
sources include security lighting on buildings and in parking areas. All outdoor lighting
associated with the Police Headquarters would be fitted with shields and/or positioned to
minimize spill light and glare on adjacent residential properties.
As discussed in Section 11 of this Environmental Checklist, police car sirens and
loading/unloading of prisoners could create a nuisance for nearby residents which could disrupt
sleep patterns. Although the potential exists for police sirens to affect adjacent residents, the
impacts would not represent a siguificant land use compatibility impact for several reasons. One
of the primary reasons is the limitation to be imposed on police cars responding to emergencies
from the proposed Police Headquarters. Responding units would be prohibited fj-om turning on
their sirens until they reach a major thoroughfare (e.g. Fourth Avenue or F Street). Police sirens
are already being used on these streets. Thus, this limitation would assure that disruption fj-om
sirens is no greater than occurs from the existing Police Headquarters which is located in the
same general vicinity as three of the four alternative sites. The Corporation Yard site, although
II 5-3S""
not near the existing Police Headquarters, is already located near major noise sources inclumng
Interstate 5 and the San Diego Trolley. In addition, relatively few emergency responses originate
at the Police Headquarters (Dan Hardman, Chula Vista Police Department). Patrol cars out on
the streets are usually the primary units responding to emergency situations.
Further factors restricting potential land use compatibility impacts ITom Police Headquarters
noise include prohibitions against: (I) outdoor public address systems, (2) vehicle-servicing and
repair, and (3) siren testing. In addition, prisoners are proposed to be loaded and unloaded
within the underground parking areas to minimize adverse effects of unusually vocal individuals.
The Civic Center and the alternative locations for the Police Headquarters are located within the
City of ChuIa Vista's "Urban Core" and the major facilities existing or plarmed for this area are
designated in the Central Chula Vista Area Plan. This area contains the greatest diversity of
urban facilities in the City in a generally low to medium density urban development. The City of
Chula Vista's General Plan states that this area "will expand both the concentration and diversity
of facilities" and will continue to reinforce its role as the urban core of the city. The project is
consistent with adopted plans and ordinances. It will implement the goals of the City of Chula
Vista General Plan as well as the Central Chula Vista Area Plan.
Lastly, as none of the properties involved in the proposed project exhibit any natural vegetation
or support wildlife species, the project would not have a significant impact on regional biological
resource planning efforts.

people residing or working in the project area
to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private D D D ~
airstrip, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
Explanation: Construction of the Police Headquarters would introduce new noise sources into
the areas which surround the four alternative sites. Increases in ambient noise levels would be of
particular importance to noise-sensitive activities such as residenti¡ù., hospitals or other uses
which generally require low noise levels. As discuss¡;d earlier, both single- and multi-family
residential uses lie adjacent to some portion of all of the Police Headquarters alternative sites.
Potential noise sources associated with the Police Headquarters would include police car sirens,
exterior heating and ventilation equipment, loading/unloading prisoners, and general parking lot
activity (e.g. car engines and conversation). Acoustical studies prepared for the alternative sites
prepared by Douglas Eilar & Associates concluded that, with the possible exception of heating
and ventilation equipment, noise ftom the Police Headquarters would not create a significant
health and safety hazard. With the exception of heating and ventilation equipment, noise sources
would be sporadic and not of sufficient trequency or volume to exceed acceptable noise levels.
As discussed in Section 9, police sirens would not be activated until the vehicle reaches a major
street and emergency responses do not usually originate trom the Police Headquarters. In
13 .s- -3 Î
.---
addition, current ambient noise levels on all Police Headquarters alternative sites, primarily
related to traffic noise, are already higher than the levels normally acceptable for residential
areas. Measurements taken by Douglas Eilar & Associates identified ambient Community Noise
Equivalent Levels (CNEL) as high as 65 dB(A) in nearby residential areas.
With respect to heating and ventilation equipment, the project would be conditioned to require
that acoustical screening be installed around all exterior heating and ventilation equipment to
assure that noise generated by this equipment would not exceed the maximum noise levels
established in Table ill of the City of Chula Vista's Noise Ordinance. Under this ordinance,
noise generators must not cause noise levels at the property line in adjacent residential areas,
with the exception of multi-family development, to exceed 45 dB between the hours of 10 p.m.
and 7 a.m. on weekdays, and 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekends; at all other times of the day, noise
generators shall not cause noise levels in residential areas to exceed 55 dB. For multi-family, the
noise limits are 50 dB at night and 60 dB during the day.
While noise associated with the Police Headquarters would not result in a significant health and
safety hazard, periodic noise related to police car sirens and unloading/loading of vocal prisoners
could create a land use compatibility impact on adjacent residential uses by disturbing sleep
activities. This concern is discussed in more detail in Section 9 of this Environmental Checklist.
Remodeling and expansion of the Civic Center Complex would not have a significant impact on
surrounding land uses. The proposed improvements would not introduce any new noise sources
nor would it increase noise generated by existing uses. Any new heating and ventilation
equipment would be screened to assure that noise levels meet Table ill of the City's Noise
Ordinance. Relocation of the Police Headquarters would, in fact, eliminate an existing noise
source on the site.
Construction noise could have a significant impact on residential areas located adjacent to the
Civic Center Complex as well as the Police Headquarters sites. Construction equipment noise
would be expected to periodically exceed noise levels desired in residential areas. However, the
short-term nature of construction noise and the limitations to be imposed by the City on the hours
when construction can take place will reduce construction noise impacts to below a level of
significance. Construction shall be limited to the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. between Monday
and Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. No construction would ?e allowed on Sunday.

would it induce substantial growth. No housing, including affordable units, would be lost or
created as a result of the proposed expansion of the Civic Center or as a result of construction of
a Police Headquarters at any of the alternative locations. The demand for housing would not
change significantly since the uses proposed exist already and no significant changes in staffing

Explanation: The expansion of the Civic Center and development at any of the alternative
locations for the Police Headquarters would not generally result in significant changes to service
ratios, response times or performance objectives. Fire protection, schools and other public
facilities would remain unchanged as a result of implementation of the project and development
of a new Police Headquarters. Construction of a new Police Headquarters could result in
improvement to response times for police protection due to improved efficiency.
Development of the Police Headquarters at the Friendship Park location would result in
potentially significant impacts to parks due to the loss of park areas. The loss of park area would

b) Does the project include recreational facilities 0 0 0 ~
or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities which might have an
adverse physical effect on the environment?
Explanation: No impacts to recreation would result from the expansion of the Civic Center or
development at three of the four locations (Mercy, Corporate Yard and Commercial sites) for the
Police Headquarters since there would be no anticipated increase in population and therefore in
the use of existing parks.
Development of the Police Headquarters at the Friendship Park could result in potentially
significant impacts to other recreational facilities. The 3.5 acres of passive parkland would be
replaced with buildings which could result in users of Friendship Park shifting their activities to
other sites. While the expansion and remodeling of the Civic Center would result in some
additional passive recreational areas, the loss of Friendship Park would be a potentially
significant impact unless mitigation measures were incorporated to replace the loss of parkland.

Explanation: A traffic study was conducted by BR W. to assess the impacts of the remodeling
and expansion of the Civic Center Complex, and relocation of the Police Headquarters. As the
morning and evening peak hour periods are the most critical times for local traffic circulation,
the traffic study focused on the project impacts during these time frames. Based on this study,
the redevelopment of the Civic Center Complex and relocation of the Police Headquarters would
add an estimated 406 automobile trips to the AM peak hour traffic volumes and 530 trips to the
PM peak hour. It should be noted that this is a conservative estimate because it treats all of the
automobile trips related to the Police Headquarters as new trips even though the existing facility
is generating some number of trips already. In addition, the traffic volume estimate does not
back out trips which are being generated 1Ìom the current uses which would be eliminated on
alternative sites by construction of the Police Headquarters. Thus, the estimated traffic
generation is likely higher than may actually occur.
17 S-<J(
When the additional trips ITom the Civic Center Complex and any of the three Police
Headquarters sites within the general proximity of the Civic Center Complex were added to the
ten local intersections which were evaluated in the traffic study, it was determined that none of
the intersections would be significantly impacted by the increase related directly to the proposed
project. All of the intersections would continue to operate a level of service (LOS) of D or
better. Further, when traffic ITom three other approved but undeveloped projects in the area of
the Civic Center Complex (Southbay Regional Center Expansion, Scripps Memorial Hospital
Expansion and Gateway Project) was added to the increase in traffic ITom the proposed project,
the traffic study concluded that the combined increase would not have a significant impact on
any of the 10 intersections.
With respect to the Corporation Yard site, the addition of Police Headquarters traffic to
Woodlawn Avenue could cause the overiùl traffic volume on Woodlawn Avenue to exceed the
desired volume for its current configuration. Expansion of Woodland Avenue to a Class I
Collector roadway may be necessary between E and F Street. Additional right of way would
also be required on the north side of F Street adjacent to the site. A signal would likely be
required at Woodlawn Avenue and F Street.
With respect to air traffic patterns, the proposed projects would have no impact.
With the exception of the Friendship Park and Corporation Yard sites for the Pòlice
Headquarters, the traffic analysis concluded that no specific roadway modifications were
necessary to accommodate the proposed uses. No new traffic signals are required on any of the
unsignalized intersections immediately adjacent to the Civic Center Complex or the three nearby
Police Headquarters alternative sites.
Should the Friendship Park site be selected, Davidson Street between Fourth Avenue and the
entrance to the parking structure would be redesigned to serve as a two-way street. Options to
allow two-way traffic include acquisition of additional right-of-way on the south curb of
Davidson Street, prohibition of parking on the south curb of Davidson Street and/or construction
of raised islands to facilitate turns at this location. In addition, traffic related to the Police
Headquarters would be directed toward Fourth Avenue through the use of signage or barriers to
reduce impact on the neighborhood.
kJ indicated earlier, selection of the Corporation Yard site could neéessitate Woodlawn Avenue
to be upgraded to a Class I Collector which would require that additional right of way along the
project fi-ontage to accommodate the wider roadway. An additional five feet of right of way
would also be required on the north side of F Street adjacent to the site. A traffic signal at the
intersection of Woodlawn Avenue and F Street would also be required.
Selection of the Corporation Yard site would be less desirable ITom a traffic perspective due to
the distance from the Civic Center Complex as well as the central part of the City. This
separation would result in longer trips and more vehicle miles traveled on City streets.

the project. New service systems, or the substantial alteration of existing systems, would not be
required for the expansion and remodeling of the Civic Center and construction of a Police
Headquarters at one of the alternative locations. The sites are currently developed with urban
level land uses and receive water and sewer through existing lines. There is sufficient
supply/capacity available to serve the proposed project. However, one segment of the sewer
19 S -43
system serving the project site would require upgrading as its entire service area is builtout.
More specifically, a portion of the sewer line west of Bay Boulevard at G Street will need to be
upgraded with a parallel line or expanded pipe diameter. TIús upgrade would be undertaken by
the City as part of its Capital Improvements Program when required.
The amount of solid waste generated will not change significantly over that currently generated
and there is sufficient landfill capacity available.

the adopted long-tenn environmental goals of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan and other
adopted planning documents as those goals are related to biology and cultural resources. The
sites are currently developed with urban level uses and do not contain identified biological or
cultural resources. The expansion and remodeling of the Civic Center and construction and
operation of a Police Headquarters at any of the four locatioI:lS would not result in a significant
impact to the adopted long-term environmental goals of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan
and other adopted planning documents. The project is infill development with urban level
services in place.

The proposed project, in combination with three pending projects, could have a significant
cumulative impact on traffic flow at the intersection of H Street and Fourth Avenue. However,
construction of an additional southbound left-turn land on H Street would restore this
intersection to an acceptable level of service.
Noise and light ITom the proposed Police Headquarters could adversely impact adjacent
residential areas by interfering with sleep activities. However, light fixture shielding and
limitations on the use of police sirens would reduce these potential impacts on humans to below
a level of significance.

IV. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
0 I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
~ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in tlús case because the mitigation measures described on an
attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will
be prepared.
0 I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a
significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect I) has been adequately analyzed in
an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
0 I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a)
have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been
avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including n;visions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project.

PROJECT APPLICANT: City ofChula Vista General Services Department
CASE NO.: IS-04-013
DATE OF DRAFT DOCUMENT: November 12,2003
DATE OF RESOURCE CONSERVATION COMMISSION MEETING: November 17, 2003
DATE OF FINAL DOCUMENT:
A. Project Setting
The Chula Vista Civic Center consists of the City-owned properties in the immediate vicinity of
the intersection of Fourth Avenue and F Street which presently contain the City Hall Building,
current and future (under construction) Police Headquarters, Public Services Building,
Community Development Building, Legislative Building, Fire Station No. I, Civic Center
Branch Library, Friendship Park, and Ken Lee Building (formerly known as the Mercy
Building), and visitor and staff parking lots (see Exhibit A). The proposed Chula Vista Civic
Center Expansion and Renovation Project ("Project") involves modifications to all of the City
facilities listed above, with the exception of the Civic Center Branch Library, Friendship Park,
and future Police Headquarters (currently under construction).
B. Prior Approvals and Environmental Documentation
The City of Chula Vista Civic Center Master Plan (Master Plan), adopted jointly by the City
Council and Redevelopment Agency on July 17,2001, was addressed in the Chula Vista Civic
Center Master Plan And Police Headquarters Relocation Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
IS-OI-017, dated December 8,2000. MND IS-OJ-O17 generally addressed the expansion and
renovation of the Chula Vista Civic Center as described in the Master Plan, including four
alternative sites for the new Police Headquarters, referred to in the MND as the Friendship Park
Site, Mercy Site, Commercial Site, and Corporation Yard Site. The new Police Headquarters is
presently under construction on the Commercia] Site, located at the southeast corner of the
Fourth Avenue/F Street intersection (315 Fourth Avenue). MND IS-Ol-O17, adopted jointly by
Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-O4-013 Page I
City of Chula Vista CIvic Center Expansion & Renovation S -s-f
the City Council and Redevelopment Agency on July 17, 2001, contains mitigation measures
addressing traffic, noise, land use compatibility, paleontology, and recreation impacts. The
traffic and recreation mitigation measures contained in MND IS-0l-017 are no longer applicable,
since these measures specifically applied to the development of the new Police Headquarters on
the Friendship Park Site and Corporation Yard Site. MND IS-OI-O17 was relied upon in
approving a Design Build agreement with Highland Partnership, Inc. for the expansion and
renovation of the Civic Center, with the exception ofthe planned relocation of Fire Station No. I
to the Ken Lee Building site.
C. Project Description
Revisions to the Project made subsequent to the preparation ofMND IS-OI-017 and entering into
the Design Build agreement with Highland Partnership, Inc. are addressed in this Mitigated
Negative Declaration (IS-04-013). The proposed Civic Center Expansion and Renovation
Project, as described in the adopted Master Plan and as currently proposed, is described below.
Adopted Citv of Chula Vista Civic Center Master Plan
The adopted City of Chula Vista Civic Center Master Plan consists of the following major
project components:
. Development of an approximately 135,000 square-foot new Police Headquarters with a total
of approximately 430 surface and structured parking spaces at the southeast corner of the
Fourth Avenue/F Street intersection (315 Fourth Avenue). The new Police Headquarters is
under construction and is scheduled to open in February 2004.
. Remodeling and expansion of the City Hall Building from 18,300 square feet to 34,711
square feet.
. Remodeling of the 29,700 square-foot Public Services Building.
. Remodeling of the 51,500 square-foot Police Headquarters for use as City offices.
. Demolition of the 2,779 square-foot Community Development Building and 5,793 square-
foot Legislative Building to accommodate additional surface parking.
. Landscape and parking improvements throughout the Civic Center.
. Demolition of the 8,775 square-foot Mercy Building (subsequently renamed Ken Lee
Building) to accommodate the relocation of Fire Station No. I (planned to contain an
approximately 12,000 to 20,000 square-foot structure) and a new City vehicle fueling
facility. Dernolition of the 9,305 square-foot Fire Station No. I and conversion of the site to
surface parking. This component of the Master Plan was speculative in nature at the time
and, therefore, was not analyzed in MND IS-OI-017. The Master Plan acknowledges that
supplemental environmental analysis wiJI be required prior to implementation, which has
been accomplished through the preparation of this Mitigated Negative Declaration. The
Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-O4-013 Page 2

scope for the evaluation of environmental effects in this document. Mitigation measures
contained in MND IS-OI-O17 and the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(see Attaclunent A) that are applicable to the project are required to be implemented by the City
of Chula Vista. These measures are not new mitigation measures, but are incorporated by
reference from previously adopted MND IS-OI-OI7.
With the exception of the construction of the new Police Headquarters at 315 Fourth A venue,
site conditions have not substantially changed since the adoption ofMND IS-OI-O17. As such,
the impacts of the Project on the physical features of the site would be the same as addressed in
MND IS-OI-O17 and are hereby incorporated by reference, with the exception of the potential
environmental effects associated with the proposed revisions to the Project, as described below.
Analvsis of Potential Environmental Effects
The proposed revisions to the Project described above have been evaluated with respect to the
assessment of potential environmental effects contained in previously adopted MND IS-OI-OI7.
With the exception of the following environmental issues, MND IS-01-0 17 has been found to
adequately addresses the potential environmental effects of the proposed Project.
Cultural Resources
To assess the potential for significant impacts to cultural resources associated with the proposed
demolition of the City Hall Building and Fire Station No. I, a cultural resources assessment of
these buildings was conducted. The findings of this assessment are contained in a report entitled,
"Cultural Resources Report for the Historical Evaluation of the Chula Vista City Hall and Chula
Vista Fire Station Number I Located at 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California 91910,"
prepared by Archaeos and dated November 2003. This report is on file and available for review
at the offices of the Chula Vista Planning and Building Department and is summarized below.
As discussed in the study, the City Hall Building and Fire Station No. I were examined to assess
their potential for historical and architectural significance in terms of eligibility for nomination to
the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historic Places, and the Chula
Vista List of Historic Sites.
The City of Chula Vista City Hall Building was constructed in 1950 as a 9,960 square-foot
facility at 276 Guava Street (now Fourth Avenue); the previous City Hall building was located at
294 Third Avenue. The building contractor was the Travelodge Corporation, operated by Scott
King, a general contractor; the company was located at 3045 Moore Street in San Diego. The
architects were Stanley Burne and Percy Burnham. The San Diego City Directories listed Mr.
Burne as a structural engineer with an office in Del Mar; no other information was located
regarding Mr. Burne and no information was found regarding Mr. Burnham. Over the years, the
building underwent numerous alterations. A 1,856 square-foot addition was undertaken in 1964
by the C.R. Dahl Construction Company. No additional building permit information or further
construction information was obtained regarding the building or its alterations. Although no
building records could be obtained for Fire Station No. I, according to San Diego Directory

The buildings do not embody enough of the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or
method of Modern Spanish construction to be true representative examples of this architectural
style. The buildings do not represent the work of a master architect or an important, creative
individual. Finally, the buildings do not possess high artistic values nor do they possess the
potential to provide further infonnation important in prehistory or history. As previously stated,
the replication of the main entry element of the City Hall Building is a proposed element of the
new building, in order to maintain the character of this building in accordance with the adopted
Master Plan.
The subject resources have been found not eligible for listing under National Register, California
Register, and Chula Vista List of Historic Sites criteria. Therefore, no adverse direct, indirect, or
cumulative impacts would occur with project implementation; therefore, no mitigation measures
are required in conjunction with the demolition ofthese resources.
Noise
Fire Station No. I is proposed to be demolished and reconstructed at 430 F Street, along the
south side ofF Street almost directly across the street from the existing station. Noise associated
with the operation of the relocated fire station would be comparable to noise generated by the
existing station, particularly given the very close proximity of the proposed site to the existing
station. Fire vehicle sirens would continue to be the most noticeable source of noise associated
with the proposed fire station; however, such sirens are exempt from the City's noise regulations
(Municipal Code Section 19.68.060.A).
Although the new fire station has not yet been designed, known elements of the facility that
would generate noise include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HV AC) equipment and
an emergency generator. Based upon the acoustical analysis conducted for recently constructed
Chula Vista Fire Station No.7, the type of emergency generator that may be installed on-site
produces a noise level of 85 decibels (dB) at a distance of 80 feet with no noise attenuation. The
generator would be operated during power outages and during monthly testing. Monthly testing
is normally conducted for a period of approximately 30 minutes. The project site abuts multi-
family residential development to the west and commercial uses (including medical offices) to
the east and south. Noise standards for the adjacent multi-family residential and commercial
developrnent are set forth in Table III of Chapter 19.68 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The
standards that would be applicable to both the emergency generator and HV AC equipment at the
western property boundary (Multiple Dwelling Exterior Noise Limits) and eastern and southern
property boundaries (Commercial Exterior Noise Limits) are as follows:
Multiple Dwelling Residential Exterior Noise Limits
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (weekdays)/8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (weekends): 60 dB (A) Leq (I-hour)
10 p.m. to 7 a.m. (weekdays)/IO p.m. to 8 a.m. (weekends): 50 dB(A) Leq (I-hour)
Commercial Exterior Noise Limits
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (weekdays)/8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (weekends): 65 dB(A) Leq (I-hour)
10 p.m. to 7 a.m. (weekdays)!lO p.m. to 8 a.m. (weekends): 60 dB (A) Leq (I-hour)

surrounding the Civic Center are anticipated to result either during the period of construction or
after project completion.
Hazardous Materials
Several Civic Center structures proposed to be demolished and renovated are known to contain
hazardous materials, namely Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), Lead-Based Paint (LBP),
PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) and CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) containing electrical equipment,
and mercury vapor-containing equipment, and other structures are likely to contain similar
hazardous materials. To date, hazardous materials surveys have been performed by Kleinfelder,
Inc. for the City Hall Building, current Police Headquarters, Public Services Building,
Legislative Building, and Community Development Building, and will also be performed for
Fire Station No. I and the Ken Lee Building. Varying degrees of the aforementioned hazardous
materials were identified in the buildings surveyed and are likely to occur in the buildings not yet
surveyed; therefore, the proposed demolition and renovation activities could potential1y result in
the emissions of these hazardous materials.
To mitigate this potential impact to below a level of significance, prior to demolition and
renovation activities State of California licensed asbestos and lead abatement contractor shall be
retained to perform the abatement of ACMs and LBPs, general contractors shall be advised to
properly dispose of lamps, mercury thermostat vials, and ballasts, and licensed air conditioning
repair persons shal1 be retained to dispose of CFCs present within air conditioning units, as
outlined in Section F below. All hazardous materials abatement work shall be performed in
accordance with al1 applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including San Diego
County Air Pol1ution Control District (APCD) Rule 361.145 (Standard for Demolition and
Renovation) and other requirements as implemented by U.S. Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA), California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EP A), and California Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC).
F. Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Impacts
Mitigation measures contained in MND IS-OI-017 are required to be implemented by the City of
Chula Vista, where applicable (see Attachment A); these measures are not new mitigation
measures, but are incorporated by reference ITom previously adopted MND IS-0l-017.
Mitigation measures addressing new potentially significant impacts associated with the current
Project, as described in Section E above, are outlined below and are contained in the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program associated with this MND (see Attachment B):
Noise
1. AI1 noise generating equipment (e.g., HV AC equipment, emergency generator) utilized at the
new Fire Station No. I facility shall comply with the noise standards set forth in Chapter
19.68 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code at the western, southern, and eastern property

Price for Escondida public-safety bond jumps
Higher construction costs blamed for $13.8 million hike
By Craig Gustafson
STAFF WRITER
July 10, 2004
ESCONDIDO - The price tag for a proposed public-safety bond
has ballooned to $84.3 million, according to updated figures
released yesterday.
The total- $13.8 million higher than last month's estimate - comes
as the City Council prepares to place the bond measure on the Nov.
2 ballot.
City officials blame a 16 percent increase in construction costs -
particularly for steel, concrete and fuel- for the higher total. Union- Tribune
Escondida officials have sent mailings to
Assistant City Manager Jack Anderson said yesterday the city staff voters explaining the city's public-safety
is trying to give the voters the best and most accurate information needs.
possible before Election Day.
The bond would pay for a new police/fire headquarters ($50.6 million), three fire stations ($17.5
million) and the reconstruction of Fire Station One and its training facility ($14.5 million).
The remaining $1.7 million would go toward the cost of issuing the bond.
If passed, property taxes would increase $34.75 a year, for 30 years, for every $100,000 in assessed
valuation. It had been about $31 in the previous estimate.
Despite the cost increase, Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler said she still wholeheartedly supports the bond
measure.
"We can't control price increases," she said. "It's our responsibility to spend the money prudently. So the
gross dollar amount is not as important as that you spend the money on the right thing."
City Councilman Ed Gallo said the new numbers should provide for a good discussion Wednesday,
when the council gets its first look at the ordinance detailing the bond.
"Ultimately, it's going to be the taxpayers' decision," he said. "My opinion is it's going to be a harder
selling job right now. It's gotten so high." S-7~

Price for Escondido public-safety bond jumps I The San Diego Union-Tribune Page20f3
A survey conducted this week of 350 likely Escondido voters found that the previous $70.5 million
measure has 72 percent support - more than the two-thirds needed to pass. A similar poll conducted in
the fall showed support at 60 percent.
Of the latest survey's "yes" voters, 38 percent said they would definitely vote "yes," 29 percent said they
would probably support the measure, and 5 percent indicated they leaned toward voting yes.
The survey, conducted July 6-7 by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates, has a margin of error of
plus or minus 5.2 percentage points.
City officials have undertaken an aggressive public-information campaign about the bond measure.
They have sent mailings to 26,000 registered voters, explaining the city's public-safety needs.
Officials, including Police Chief Duane White and Fire Chief Vie Reed, also have made about 20
community presentations to nearly 800 people.
"I think we got good public response, especially in our presentations," Reed said. "They understand the
need, . . , That's a real positive thing,"
The facilities are needed, the city says, to improve emergency response times and to better serve
140,000 residents. The city is expected to grow 5 percent by 2010.
With five fire stations, the city has one or two fewer than cities in the county of similar size.
When it was built in the mid-1970s, the police headquarters housed about 100 employees. Three decades
and an added second floor later, about 340 employees use the building.
The city has spent more than $2 million trying to get the bond measure off the ground. The largest
chunk - $1.63 million - went to buy the property where officials hope to build a new police/fire
headquarters, Anderson said.
The city spent an additional $330,000 for studies on its current facilities and designing the proposed
facilities. The city also paid about $160,000 for consulting and polling services, which include the
mailers sent to voters.
The proposed bond has seen its share of ups and downs.
The original $82 million measure failed to make the March ballot over criticism that it was too hefty.
The city sought public comment and then eliminated nearly $12 million by erasing a new police firing
range, an upgraded dispatch system and radio equipment.
The city also dropped plans to use bond money to pay itself back for the land bought for the project.
For the measure to be placed on the ballot, the council must hold two public readings of the bond
ordinance. Then a four-fifths majority of the council must approve it.
The first public reading is scheduled for Wednesday. The second is set for July 28.

Complex, and directed staff to return with recommended long-term-financing. We
anticipate two financing phases. The financinq plan discussed in this report is referred
to as Phase 1 and includes fundinq for the first component of the Civic Center Complex
renovation !Demolition and Construction of Citv Hall) and infrastructure improvements in
Western Chula Vista. The infrastructure improvements, which are unrelated to the City
Hall expansion, are included in this financing plan in order to save on issuance costs.
Staff is recommending approval of a long-term borrowing by issuing Certificates of
Participation in an amount not to exceed $41,000,000. The funding for the final two
construction components will be brought back for Council consideration as Phase 2 of
the financing plan in order to coincide with the construction timeline.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable
DISCUSSION:
The first component (Component A) of the Civic Center project will be the demolition and
reconstruction of City Hall. The work contemplated in Component A of construction is
the demolition of the existing 18,300 square foot City Hall Building. City Hall Is currently
occupied by the offices for the Mayor and Council, City Manager, City Attorney, City
Clerk, Office of Budget and Analysis and Human Resources. The new City Hall building
will total 42,230 square feet and will be occupied by the Mayor and Council, Council
Chambers, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Office of Budget and Analysis, Office
of Public Information and Finance Department.
Upon completion of City Hall, the second and third components of construction will
begin. The Public Services Building (Component B) will be renovated followed by
renovation of the former Police Department building (Component C).
The Public Services Building will be renovated and slightly increased in size. The
current building is 29,700 square feet in size and houses the Council Chambers,
Finance Department, Planning Department and the Engineering Division of the General
Services Department. The renovated building will total 30,562 square feet. The small
increase of 862 square feet is due to the demolition of the Council Chambers and the
"squaring off" of that corner of the building to make it more conducive for reuse as an
office area. The renovated Public Services Building will be occupied by the Planning
Department, the Community Development Department and the Engineering Division of
the General Services Department.
The former Police Department will be renovated but the square footage will not be
altered (52,160 sq. ft.). The building is currently occupied by the Management and
Information Systems Department. Upon completion of the renovations, the building will
be occupied by the Human Resources Department, Recreation Department, portions of
the Planning Department, portions of the Engineering Division of the General Services
Department, the Management and Information Systems Department and the City's
Credit Union.
When this final renovation is complete, two other buildings, the Community Development
Building and the Legislative Building will be demolished and parking will be added in that
space. Also, throughout all of the components, various site work will be occurring as
parking areas are constructed and relocated and a central landscaped plaza will be
developed.
The financing plan discussed in this report includes funding for Component A of the Civic
Center Camp/ex project. Staff will develop and return to Council with the second phase
of financing for the final two construction components in order to coincide with the
construction timeframe.

The approved Civic Center Master Plan also included the relocation of existing Fire
Station No.1 to the site of the current Ken Lee Building. The Fire Station is not intended
to be constructed along with the remainder of the Civic Center camp/ex and is not
included in this financing plan. Staff will return to Council at a future date when it
appears that both funding and operational functionality require that the relocation of Fire
Station No.1 be considered for implementation.
PFDIF Update
During the most recent update of the Public Facility Development Impact Fee
(November 2002), the cost of the renovation of the Civic Center (excluding Fire Station 1
and financing cost) was $34,798,333. Since then the total estimated project cost for the
Civic Center Complex project (all Components excludinq Fire Station 1 and financing
cost) is $50,148,000. The increase in cost is attributed to insurance costs which were
not included in the initial estimate ($3.4 million), increased construction costs ($13.2
million) related to the increased cost of steel, updated design costs and the relocation of
the Council Chambers which will be included in the City Hall building itself and a net
reduction in costs for permits, staff services and contingencies (-$1.3 million).
The next PFDIF update will take into account the increased costs which will be
somewhat offset by a PFDIF credit of $1.7 million related to the costs of Fire Station 1
which will now be funded by the General Fund or other appropriate non-development
impact fees. It is staff's intention to present to the City Council an update of the PFDIF,
not exclusively limited to the Civic Center component, upon the completion of City's
General Plan update.
Citv Hall Complex Renovation - Component A
Component A of the project involves the demolition and reconstruction of City Hall to
include new Council Chambers within City Hall and temporary renovations to the former
Police Facility, which will house City Hall staff during the construction. The City has
previously entered into a contract with Highland Partnership, Inc. for design/build
services for the entire project.
The total cost of Component A. excluding financing, is anticipated to be approximately
$22.8 million, broken down as follows:
Design of City Hall Renovations $ 1,299,000
Design of Temporary Renovations to Current PD $ 65,000
Development Staff Costs $ 120,000
DesignlBuilders Fee (Design) $ 240,000

Western Chula Vista Infrastructure Project
In order to focus on improving the infrastructure in western Chula Vista, a non-traditional
approach will be implemented. Eastern Chula Vista has the revenue stream from
development impact fees to provide the streets, parks and public safety facilities,
Western Chula Vista Chula Vista does not have that revenue stream and has had to rely
on more traditional funding sources for capital improvements such as Community
Development Block Grant funds (CDBG).
Included in this financing plan is $9,000,000 in project costs, which will be dedicated to
fund various infrastructure improvements such as replacement/rehabilitation of
corrugated metal pipe; drainage improvements; park renovation/development; and
renovation of the Woman's Club. Residential construction tax funds will be used to
finance the debt service commitment. This project is independent of the Civic Center
Project but included in this financing plan both for convenience and savings on cost of
Issuance.

LonQ Term FinancinQ
On February 18, 2003, Council appropriated $3,820,450 from the PFDIF fund to finance
the pre-construction costs of the Civic Center project. Included in this staff report is a
request for additional appropriations of $3,000,000 from development fees to permit the
Civic Center project to continue while the City proceeds with long-term financing of the
project. Currently, there are no appropriations for the Western Chula Vista Infrastructure
project related to this financing plan.
Staff is recommending that the existing appropriations from the PFDIF fund be
reimbursed by borrowing additional funds due to the very low interest rates currently

available. Reimbursements will only be for funds expended at the time the bond
proceeds become available. Any remaining funds will be deposited into the construction
fund and used on project costs.
The total cost of Component A, excludinq financinq costs, is anticipated to be
approximately $22,776,000. The portion of the borrowing attributable to the
development fee funding commitment is 88.8% or $20,221,754, with the remainder,
11.2% or $2,554,246 attributable to the City funding commitment.
The project costs for the Western Chula Vista Infrastructure Project to be financed within
this plan is $9,000,000, excludinq financinq costs. Debt service commitments will be
funded from Residential Construction Tax revenue, which is paid in conjunction with the
construction of new residential dwelling units at the time of building permit issuance.
The funds can be utilized for a variety of municipal purposes including infrastructure
improvements, park and recreation facilities and other capital improvements.
Staff is recommending that long-term financing be obtained to provide approximately
$31,776,000 for project costs, which is derived as follows:
Funding Ratios
Proiect Description Proiect Cost Fundinq
Civic Center Renovation - Compo A 22,776,000 PFDIF 88.8%/General Fund 11.2%
Western Chula Vista Infrastructure 9,000,000 RCT Fund 100%
Total Project Cost $ 31,776,000
In December, 2000, the Council approved an agreement with Harrell & Co. Advisors,
LLC to provide financial advisory services for determining the most appropriate
borrowing structure and for executing long-term financing transactions to provide funding
for both the Police Headquarters and Civic Center Remodeling projects. Harrell & Co, is
recommending that the required funds for the Civic Center project be obtained through a
standard competitively bid certificate of participation issue, which is a vehicle that the
City/Agency has used in the past for financing such projects as the police facility,
corporation yard, shopping center remodel, the downtown parking structure, etc. The
typical structure is such that certain assets, are leased to a separate legal entity, in this
case the City's Financing Authority, which then leases the assets back to the City. The
Financing Authority then borrows money through the municipal market by causing the
trustee bank to sell certificates of participation, which entitle the holder to a proportionate
share of the City's lease payments (i.e. principal & interest). The lease payments from
the City are established at a level sufficient to pay the debt service payments due to the
certificate holders,
In order to generate the $31,776,000 required to complete the funding of these projects,
it is estimated under current market conditions that a borrowing of approximately $38.2
million will be necessary. It is estimated that for a Certificate issue of this size, with a 30-
year final maturity, the total debt service will amount to approximately $76.8 million,
which includes net financing cost of $38.2 million. This figure includes an estimated net
interest cost of $34.5 million, capitalized interest cost of $2.7 million, an underwriter's
discount of $300,000, an insurance premium of $457,445, miscellaneous costs of

issuance including financial advisory services, legal services, etc. of approximately
$376,650. The semi-annual debt service (lease) payments that will begin in March
2007, will vary slightly year to year, but the average annual amount due is estimated at
approximately $2.6 million ($1.9 million Civic Center Project - Phase 1 and $700,000
Western Chula Vista Infrastructure Project),
Average Annual Debt Service
Civic Center Proiect:
PFDIF Fund (88.8%) 1,687,200
General Fund (11.2%) 212,800
Subtotal $ 1,900,000
Western Chula Vista Infrastructure
RCT Funds (100%) $ 700,000
Total Avg. Annual Debt Svc. $ 2,600,000
It is felt that these figures are somewhat conservative and that the actual costs should
be less if market conditions remain fairly stable until the date of sale for the Certificates.
As indicated previously, this amount is a shared commitment, funded by development
fees, residential construction tax revenues and the General Fund. However, it must be
noted that if at any time over the next 30 years, there are insufficient development fee
revenues on hand to meet the debt service obligation related to the Civic Center Project
or sufficient RCT funds to meet the debt service obligation of the Western Chula Vista
Infrastructure project, the unmet obligation would fall to the General Fund.
Outstanding Debt
Although not considered a City "debt" in the strictly legal definition of the term, the
annual lease payments for such a large borrowing will increase the total annual debt
service commitment of the City's General Fund by almost 25% when the first full year
payment is due in fiscal year 2006-07. At that time, it is projected that the General Fund
annual debt service commitment will total approximately $12.8 million, or approximately
8% of the projected General Fund operating budget. Viewed in isolation, this percentage
would be considered moderately high for a local governmental entity. However, it must
be noted that although this amount is truly a General Fund commitment, only $6.0 million
is scheduled to actually be paid from General Fund resources, with the remaining $6.8
million scheduled to be paid from development fees, residential construction taxes etc..
This $6.0 million represents approximately 4% of the projected General Fund operating
budget, which would be considered more of an average debt burden for a local
governmental entity. It should also be noted that the single largest annual debt service
commitment of the General Fund is the $2.3 million payment on the Pension Obligation
Bonds, which could easily be viewed as an operational expense categorized as

personnel retirement, rather than debt service, thereby further reducing the "real" debt
burden on the General Fund for comparison purposes.
The financing-related resolutions approve the competitive sale of Certificates in a total
amount not to exceed $41,000,000, and also, approve the Site lease, lease/Purchase
Agreement, Preliminary Official Statement, Trust Agreement, and other necessary
documents on file with the City Clerk, and authorize them to be executed and distributed
in connection with the sale of the Certificates. In addition, the resolutions authorize the
Director of Finance to solicit and obtain insurance on the transaction if it is found to be
economically advantageous. Finally, the resolutions authorize staff to take all actions as
may be necessary to close the transaction, including execution of all required closing
documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of these resolutions will amend the CIP budget by appropriating $15,955,550 in
bond proceeds and $3,000,000 from the PFDIF fund on the Civic Center project,
$9,000,000 from bond proceeds on the Western Chula Vista Infrastructure project and
the reimbursement of up to $6,820,450 to the Public Facilities Development Impact Fund
for monies previously spent on the project, and recognize net long-term financing costs
over a thirty year period of approximately $38.2 million.
The ongoing fiscal impact based on debt service obligations will on average be
approximately, $212,800 to the General Fund, $1.7 million to the PFDIF fund and
$700,000 to the Residential Construction Fund. As previously mentioned, the General
Fund guarantees that the debt service will be paid. If at any time insufficient funds are
available in the PFDIF or RCT funds, the General Fund would be committed to fund the
debt service obligation which will be approximately $2,6 million annually.
The projected and recommended funding sources for the total of these projects and
financing costs are as follows:

DISCUSSION
1. Existing Site Characteristics
The project is locafed on the wesf side of Broadway, between Moss and Naples Street. The sife is
located in an urbanized area in fhe Soufhwest Redevelopment Area. The project site contains 2
configuous parcels. The lorger of fhe two (1030 Broadway) is approximotely .85 acres and is
currenfly vacanf buf previously developed wifh a mobile home park. The smaller of the two
(1034 Broadway) is approximately .36 acres and cantains an old one-story triplex building.
The overall project sife is generally rectangular in shape wifh fhe larger of fhe two parcels (1030
Broadway) approximately 36 feef deeper (see Locator Map). Surrounding land use regulafions
and actual uses are as follows:

4. Analysis
The project has been evaluafed in accordance with the goals and objectives of fhe Southwest
Redevelopment Plan area and Chapfer 10, Section 5.9, of the General Plan (see Attachment 4).
The General Plan sfates fhat medium to high density residential developmenf is potenfially
desirable along certain sections of Broadway in order fo break up the continuous strip of refail
commercial. Implemenfafion of this goal began last year wifh fhe opproval of mixed use projects
at 760 and 825 Broadway. The General Plan sfafes thaf mixed-use deyelopment should cansider
occess, appropriate setbacks ond screening from any adjacent non-compafible uses, and that
implemenfafian of this policy should consider a special zone or land use overlay that would
establish specific developmenf criteria while visually and economically enhancing fhe area and
promofing a beneficial develapment for the general welfare of fhe citizens in the area and the
City. The propased rezone and precise plan standards are being requested in order to provide
7-4-
PAGE 5, ITEM NO.: 7
MEETING DATE: 08/03/2004
this development criteria. The Special Use Permit will ensure development of a project whose
individual commercial and residential componenfs will function cohesively wifh fhe existing
surrounding uses.
In regards fo land use compafibility, on May 17, 2004, fhe Design Review Committee reviewed
the project design for the proposed mixed use project. The Committee discussed fhe issue of
land use compatibility based upon a letter received by one of fhe nearby property owners
expressing privacy concerns wifh fhe proposed project in ferms of its proximity fo adjacent single-
family residenfial properties to fhe wesf. Part of fhis concern was based on fhe proposed three
sfory/35 foot building height for the residential buildings. Based upon section 19.28.060(2) the
Design Review Committee, on May 17, 2004, reviewed and is recommending the proposed
35 feet/3 story height limit for fhe project. This recommendation was based upon fhe
Committees finding that the height, bulk, mass and proportion of all structures is compatible with
the site, as well as in scale with fhe sfructures on adjoining and surrounding properties in fhe
area. Staff had concurred fhat fhe residential buildings have been designed and placed on the
site in a way fhot maximizes the use of open space/landscape areas and breaks up fhe vertical
appearance of the three story buildings. The project will provide approximafely 16,099 square
feef of usable open space. Usable open spoce includes: the front and rear open courtyard/gross
areas; the two covered kiosk/lawn areas, fhe rear grass orea and fhe private patio/balconies.
In addition, given fhe location of existing single family residences west of fhe proposed project
(at least 150 feet away), a 6 foof high wall and enhanced landscaping is proposed along fhe
wesf property line. Staff, fhe Design Review Committee and fhe Planning Commission have 011
concluded that adequafe visual screening has been provided. Also, given fhe combinafion of wall
and landscaping, if is anticipated fhat only fhe 2 third sfory balconies of Buildings 3 and 4 (which
is 2 out of fhe fotal 30 patio/balconies for the project) will have any views over the wesferly
adjacent properties. Staff spoke to the neighbor who has now expressed safisfaction wifh fhe
modified plans. No one attended the DRC or Planning Commission meefings to elaborote on
their concerns. The DRC did nof recommend any addifional modificafions.
Rezone
The proposed rezone from the CTP fo CCP zone is requesfed by fhe developer because the CCP
zone allows mixed-use development while fhe CTP zone does nof. The Urban Core Specific Plan,
currently underwoy, will provide more specific zone district and development sfandards for mixed
use projects. However, currently the CC zone is the only yiable zone district to develop mixed-use
projects. Both zones are consistent with fhe General Plan land Use Element, which designafes fhis
area Retail Commercial. The proposed CCP zone is also consisfent with fhe exisfing MOC
(Mercantile Office Commercial) designation of the Monfgomery Specific Plan, and will contribute
to the public convenience and general welfare by further assisfing fhe City's efforts to satisfy the
goals and objectives of Redevelopmenf Agency and Chapfer 10, Section 5.9, of fhe General Plan
(see Goals & Objectives, attachment 7). Exhibit B of Attachment 3 delineates the proposed zone
for fhe project site in relafion fo fhe exisfing surrounding zoning.
7-5:
PAGE 6, IIEM NO.: 7
MEEIING DAlE: 08/03/2004
Addinq P Modifier to Zoninq Desiqnation
Section 19.56.041 of fhe CVMC indicafes thaf fhe evidence of one or more specific circumstances
musf be evident in order to add a P modifier to 0 zoning designation. One such circumstance,
delineafed in 19.56.041 (C) is thaf fhe basic or underlying zone regulafion does nof allow fhe
property owner ond/or city appropriate confrol or flexibility needed fo achieve an efficienf and
proper relafionship among the uses allowed in the adjacent zone. Because the project is
surrounded by a combination of exisfing commercial and residenfial uses, one of fhe criteria used
fo defermine fhe preferred design of fhe project has been to insure thaf the commercial portion
of fhe project was situated adjacenf fo commercial uses ond fhe residenfial portion was most
adjacent to existing residential uses.
Precise Plan Standards
The proposed Precise Plan sfandords deviate from fhe odopfed Zoning Ordinance and
Montgomery Specific Plan, while respecting fhe surrounding land uses. Proposed zoning
ordinance deviations include both Sefback reductions and Parking deviafions. These proposed
developmenf standards are shown in fhe "proposed" column of fhe Project Data Tobie shown
above and more specifically outlined in Exhibif C of the Draft City Council Ordinance (see
Attachmenf 3).
Setback Reductions
In order to meef fhe goal of a more urban, pedesfrian-orienfed project, the proposed
development standards allow for certain encroachmenfs into the required sefbacks. Sefback
reductions include: a)reducing fronf yard setback from 25 feet fo 3 feet (single sfory arcade) and
8 feet (two sfory building); b) reducing side yard setbacks from 7 feet to 5 1/2 feef on north side
and from 15 feet fo 10 feef on south side (adjacent to vacanf R-1 lot); c) reducing rear yard
sefback from 17 feef fo 15 feet (building) and 13 feet (balconies).
Staff is of the opinion fhat emphasis on a more urban and pedestrian orienfed design is in
keeping wifh fhe exisfing development design frends. Both fhe CC zone and Montgomery
Specific Plan standards were adopted af a time when emphasis was on having buildings set back
behind a landscaped/parking area. Adopfion of the proposed precise plan development
sfandards will allow reduced building sefbacks which are conducive wifh fhe above sfafed goals
of encouraging a mixed-use project which is in keeping with the goals of achieving a more
urban, pedestrian-oriented project.
The reduction in building sefbacks will allow the above referenced goals to be achieved by I)
allowing fhe office commerciol component of the project fo be locafed close fo the sidewalk
along Broadway, thereby achieving fhe pedesfrian orienfed nafure of the project; 2) ollow for a
better balance between open space and buildings on the lot. Larger open space areas as well as
pedestrian corridors can be provided between building sfructures while, at fhe same fime,
maintaining fhe desire density of the project. Due to the orientafion of existing development on
7-Co
PAGE 7, ITEM NO.: ...,
MEETING DATE: 08/03/2004
adjacent properties, no negatiye impact is anticipated as a result of the proposed setback
reductions.
Parkinq
Parking deviafions include: aJ increase allowable compact parking spaces from 10% to 21 %; bJ
allow four required off-sfreet parking spaces fo be shared parking by residential and commercial
tenants. These 4 shared parking spaces should be counfed fowards meeting fhe parking
requiremenfs for office use and be considered guesf parking for the residenfiol componenf,
thereby reducing the residenfial parking requirement by said 4 spaces. Staff further believes
fhese four guesf spaces can be shared wifh fhe required office parking spaces since the primary
need for guesf parking will be during the hours when offices will be closed (i.e. evenings and
weekends). These 4 spaces will be available by guesfs of the residential unifs, especially during
off-peak hours. The four parking spaces must be designated as shared parking ond a reciprocal
parking or of her similar type of agreement will be required fo insure said spaces remoin always
available for shared parking. Due to the hours of operofion of fhe office building, it is anficipafed
there will not be a conflict in allowing said parking spaces to be utilized by guests of fhe
residenfial units on evenings and weekends.
An increase in allowable compoct spaces along wifh fhe allowance for shored porking will ollow
for a reduction in fhe size of the required parking field. This reduction will ollow a mixed use
project fo be designed with more areas of open space fo visually reduce the bulk of project while
still achieving the goal of being an urban/pedesfrian-oriented development.
Special Use Permit
Under the proposed CCP zone designafion, section 19.36.030(0) of the Zoning Ordinance
requires that a mixed use project only be ollowed by an approved conditional use permit.
Because fhe sife is located within fhe Southwesf Redevelopmenf Area, a special use perm if is
required which will require opproval by fhe Redevelopmenf Agency. In addition to the normal
required findings for the granfing of a use permit, ouflined in section 19.14.080, fhe approval of
use permit for a mixed-use project is also subject fo compliance fo the specific sfandards and
guidelines outlined in section 19.58.205 of CYMe. The following paragraphs discuss, how fhe
proposed project meets these sfandards. The proposed site plan and elevafions are shown in
Attachment 5.
The use permit shall be reviewed and approved by fhe City Councilor Redeve/opmenf Agency.
Because the project falls within fhe Soufhwest Redevelopmenf Area, fhe Redevelopmenf Agency
will review ond fake action on fhis requesf.
The commercial and residential componenfs shall be planned and implemented together.
The office and residential components of fhe project have been designed to complemenf each
other yet stand alone in terms of functional usage. The office component contains the required
7-7
PAGE 8, ITEM NO.: 7
MEETING DATE: 08/03/2004
omount of parking in the vicinity of the southerly property line. Due to the orientation of the
project close to the street, pedestrian access to the building is readily available from Broadway as
well as fhe adjacenf parking area. The residenfial unifs ore locafed fo the rear of fhe site and,
of her than 4 shared parking spaces, contain a seporate parking field seporafed from fhe office
use by a gate. Separate pedestrian access from the parking areas ore proyided between the
office and residential uses.
The maximum allowable residenfial density will be governed by fhe provisions of fhe R-3 zone
based upon the fotal project area, less any area devofed exclusively to commercial use, including
commercial parking and circulafion areas. The approved density may be significanfly less than fhe
maximum allowable density depending on site-specific facfors, including fhe density and
relafionship of surrounding residenfial areas, if any.
The proposed 30 units comply wifh fhe allowable density bosed upon excluding the land devoted
to office use and exclusiye office parking from the ~alculation. A fotal of 43,395 square feet of
the project sife consfifufe the residenfial component of fhe 1.3-acre site. Based upon section
19.28.070 of fhe CYMC a fotal of 43,380 square feet ore required for fhe proposed twenty-four
2-bedroom and six 3-bedroom unifs.
Parking, access and circulafion shall be largely independenf for fhe commercial and residential
components of fhe project, Each use componenf shall provide off-sfreef parking in accordance
wifh city sfandards.
The office parking will be closesf fo Broodway and separated from fhe residentiol parking area to
the rear by a security gafe. As allowed under the proposed precise pion standards, concurrently
being considered for opproval, four shared porking spaces are proposed which will
accommodafe bofh office parking as well as parking for guesf of the residenfial units, primarily
during off-peak hours.
The residenfial componenf shall meef fhe private and common open space requiremenfs of fhe R-3
zone,
The proposed project exceeds bofh fhe privafe and common open space requirements. A fofal of
12,480 square feef of open space are required for fhe 30-unit residential componenf of fhe
project. Of this tofal amount required, 0 minimum of 2,800 square feet of priyate open spoce
are required with the remainder being common open space. The applicant is providing 2,802
square feet of privote open spoce and 13,297 squore feef of common open space for a tofal of
16,099 square feef of open space.
The conditional use permit may include a resfriction on commercial uses and/or business hours in
order to avoid conflicts with residenfial unifs.
The fact fhaf fhe proposed commercial use is an office building will provide a use, which is
compatible with nearby residential development and should not require any restrictions on hours
7-'ð
PAGE 9, IIEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/03/2004
of operation. In addition, the orientation of the office building towards Broadway will limit any
potenfial negative impact on residential unifs located behind the building on the same sife.
Desian Feotures:
The Design Review Committee is in favor of fhe project design and recommends approval by fhe
Redevelopmenf Agency. Specific design features for which the Committee gave a favorable
response included:
. Architectural compotibility between rear of office building and fronf of fhe closesf
residenfial building (Building No.1)
. The additional tower elemenf added along fhe soufh elevotion to provide symmetry
with the proposed fower at the north end of fhe project sife.
. The use and locafion of plaza feotures between buildings.
. Placement of fhe office building close to Broadway in order fo allow for more
open/plaza areas between the buildings.
Housina:
The site for fhe proposed project contains three units (one tri-plex) that were vacafed and
boarded up in June 2004. The three units are assumed to be affordable. Because the proposed
project is wifhin the redevelopment area, the housing units removed because of the Project will be
replaced pursuant to Section 33413 of fhe California Health and Safety Code.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes thaf fhe requested project entiflemenfs allow for a mixed use project which meets
the goals and objectives of providing 0 more urban pedesfrian orienfed project af this locafion.
As discussed in this report, the project will achieve fhe goal of Chapfer 10, section 5.9 of fhe
General Plan, which encourages development of mixed-use projects along Broadway which are
infegrafed into the surrounding development. If is hoped fhaf such a project will enhance the orea
ond potenfially become a model for archifectural design fur future developmenf of this area
olong Broadway. For the reasons discussed in this report, sfaff recommends approval of fhe
proposed project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The applicanf has paid for all cosfs associafed with fhe processing of the Rezone, Special Use
Permit and Design Review applicafions ond will be responsible for paying corresponding
Developmenf Impact fees and of her applicable developmenf ond processing fees.
The proposed development project has an estimafed net valuation of $6,250,000. This would
generate approximately $62,500 in annual tax-increment revenue. This amount would be
divided as follows: Twenty percent ($12,500) for the Housing Set-Aside fund; of the remaining

Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - June 16, 2004
Background: Jeff Steichen, Project Manager, reported that the proposal is to
amend the zoning map, rezoning 1.2 acres at 1030 and 1034 Broadway from
CTP to CCP, and a Special Use Permit to allow the construction and operation
of an office commercial/ residential mixed.use project at the same location.
Mr. Steichen indicated that the main reason for requesting the rezone is
because the CT zone does not allow a mixed-use project, whereas, the CC zone
does allow this type of use subject to the approval of a Special Use Permit. One
of the goals of the City's General Plan is to promote the development of mixed-
use projects along portions of Broadway.
The project proposes that the on-site parking be reduced by four parking
spaces; this will be made up by considering four of the required
office/commercial parking spaces as shared spaces. These 4 spaces will be
available by guests of the residential units, during off-peak hours.
Regarding the Special Use Permit; the proposal consists of 5,000 sf of office
use, facing and closest to Broadway, as well as 30 condominium units.
In order to grant the Special Use Permit, the project must meet the density
requirements as set forth in the R-3 zone. A total of 43,395 sf are required for
the density being proposed; the project has slightly over that amount, therefore,
the proposed 30 units comply with this density requirement.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCS
04-01/SUPS 04-07 recommending adoption of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and approval of the project in accordance with the findings and
subject to the conditions and regulations contained in the City Council
Ordinance and Redevelopment Agency Resolutions.
Commission Discussion:
Cmr. Hall asked for clarification on the justification for a 35 foot building height
that is being proposed, as oppose to the 28 foot height limit in the R-3 zone.
Mr. Steichen responded that the R-3 standard does state a 28 foot height limit,
however, there is another section that allows up to three stories (35 feet) based
upon certain findings. Upon review of the project, the Design Review
Committee found that the bulk, mass and proportion of the structure is
compatible with the site and in scale with structures in the surrounding area.
Cmr. Hom inquired if staff received any other opposition to the project beside
the letter that was included in staff's report.

Planning Commission Minutes .3- June 16, 2004
Mr. Steichen responded that no other opposition was received, verbal or in
writing, other than the one letter received from Mr. Fields expressing privacy
concerns. He further noted that staff spoke with Mr. Fields and informed him
that the project was going to be modified with some additional architectural
features, removed some tot lots and a change in the fence, which appeased Mr.
Fields's concerns.
Public Hearing opened and closed.
MSC (O'Neill/Cortes) (7-0) that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution
PCS 04-01/SUPS 04-07 recommending adoption of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and approval of the project in accordance with the findings and
subject to the conditions and regulations contained in the City Council
Ordinance and Redevelopment Agency Resolutions. Motion carried.

5.9 BROADWAY RESIDEN"'TL.u, DEVELOPl'vIEÑ"'T
Tne introduction of medium and high density residential is seen as potentially desirable L.'1 ce,cain
sections of Broadway to break the continuous mip of retail con=ercial. Tne ë.rea most suitable
for the introduction of residemialland uses is be"Neen Flower Street on t.l:1e north and I Süeet
on the south.
Tne development of residential land uses in this area can be mixed use com¡llercial/residential
typically with the commercial as the [lIst level and residential units above. It can also be only
residential uses. In either case, the introduction of residential uses on Broadway should carefully
consider access, the appropriate setbacks from the roadway and screening from any':adjë.cent
non-compatible land uses.
The future implementation of this policy should include consideration of a special zone or land
use overlay which would establish more specific criteria for project design.

DATE OF FINAL DOcmvlENT: Mav 3. 2004
--
Revisions made to this document subsequent to the issuance of the notice of availability of the draft
Mitigated Negative Declaration are denoted by underline.
A. Project Setting
The project site is a partially vacant 1.23-acre site consisting of two parcels, located at 1030-1034
Broadway. The site is located in an urbanized area in the central western portion of the city ofChula
Vista within the Southwest Redevelopment Area (see Exhibit A - Location Map). The project site
was previously developed \vith a mobile home park including a one-story residential triplex building
containing three rental units and accessory structure. Currently, the project site contains the one-story
triplex building, broken asphalt foundations, disrepaired paving and fencing.
Land uses surrounding the project site consist of the following:
North: Commercial Shopping Center, Self-Storage and Apartments
South: Professional Office and vacant lot
East Broadway/Commercial retail uses
West: Single-Family Residences
B. Project DescriDtion
The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing one-story triplex building and the
construction of 30 residential condominium units within three separate three-story buildings and a
detached two-story 5,000 square-foot professional office building !TontingBroadway (see Exhibit B-
Site 'Plan). The total proposed parking is 77 spaces (74 spaces on-site and 3 spaces on-street); 60
residential spaces and 17 office spaces. The redevelopment of the project site would include
landscape treatments, lighting, drainage facilities, paved parking lot, right of way improvements,
retaining wails and fencing along the perimeter of the property. The proposed grading quantities are
estimated at 1,020 cubic yards cut and 1,520 cubic yards fill. The project inc1udes rebining wans
with decorative five-foot high-capped wooden fencing on top in accordance with the City's Design
Manual guidelines, along the western and northern perimeters, and separates fencing' continuing
around the southern and northern perimeters. The proposal requires approval of Design Re\iew,
Precise Plan, Conditional Use Pennit. Tentative Map and Rezone !Tom CTP to CCP (Ce~tra!
CommercialJPrecise Plan) and all necessary redevelopmem actions by the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency. 7-2-9
C. Cornnliance with Zoning: and Pl1ns
The project site is within the CTP (Thoroughfare CornmerciallPrecise Plan) Zone and is designated
MCa (1vIercantile and Office Commercial) under the Montgomery Specific Plan and CR (Retail
Cor..mercial) under the Cnula Vista General Plan. Tne proposal includes the rezoning of the site ITer:-.
cn to CCP (Central Commercial/Precise Plan). al1owing for the proposed mixed-use de'¡elopmer.t
subject to the provisions of the Chula Vista Municip<.1 Code Chapter 19.36 with the approval of a
Conditional Use Pennit. The project would be consistent witht~,,--proposed zoning and existing
General Plan designation of the pr0J2èrty. .
D. Public Comments
On March 9. 2004, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot
radius of the project site. The public comment period e:lded on March 18, 2004. No writte:l
comments were received; however, oral comments were received from two persons regarding
aesthetics/privacy to adjacent~Jngle-family residential properties, building bulk, and parking on side
streets, traffic and density issúès:
On March 30. 2004. the Notice of Availabilitv of the ProDosed Mitigated Ne2ative Declaration for the
project was posted in the CounTY Clerk's Office and circulated to propertv owners within a 500-foot
radius of the ¡¡reiect site. The 30-dav uublic comment Deriod closed on Auril 29. 2004: t;vo writte:l
comment letters were received. The Chula Vista Elementarv School District identified the statutorY
deveJoDer fee reouirements and recormnended annexation to CommunitY FaciJities District (CFD) 10
as an alternative to the fee' nO comments reg:arding: the adeouacv of the Mitig:ated Neg:ative
Declaraticn were included. In a comment letter ITom a member of the Dublic. concerns were
exDTessed reg:arding: proiect densitY. building: heig:hts. buiJding: setbacks ITom the residentia!
proDerties to the west. conl!estion. school inmacts. noise, Darking: overflow ITom uroiect residents
.-onto Broadwav and adiacent side streets: however. the adeouacv of the draft Mitig:ated Neg:ative
Declaration was not addressed. The issues identified in this comment letter were adeouatelv
addressed in the draft Mitig:ated Neg:ative Declaration. -'
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
AIl Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist fonn) determined that the proposed project would not have a significant environme:ltal
effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated
Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
Aesthetics
There are fo~ parce!s which abut the project site to the west; two are vacant and two contain single-
family residences. The closest single-family residence to the project site is situated approximately 54
feet ITom the northwest corner of the project site.
Within the CC (Ce:ltral Commercial) Zone, no building shall exceed three and one-half s,ories er 45
feet in height when located adjacent to any CoO or residential zone. The western f:iÇade of the
proposed three-sTory 35-foot high reside:¡tial building nearest to the western property line would be
set back 15 feet ITem the property line. The project site is separated ITorn L'1e single-far::ily resid",-::oi
properties to the west by an existing five-foot high chain link fence and portions or disreFJire¿
wooden fenc:. A five-foot high de~ora¡jve capped wooden fe:¡c: (above re:aining \\"J11s in c=::Jin
7-30
locations) is proposed along the project's perimeter. Therefore, a portion of the proposed residential
building would be visible from the rear portion of single-family residential properties to the west. To
achieve a greater degree of vegetative screening of the proposed residential buildings from the west,
ne',v 2d-gallon CaITorwood, 36-inch box Southern Magnolia, 24-inch box Evergreen Pear, and 24-
inch box Chinese Flame trees would be planted in betWeen intermittent moderate sized shrubs along
the western property line.
Tne proposed mixed-use professional office/residential project as proposed would be an allowable
land use within the proposed CCP (Central Cornmercial/Precise Plan) zone. The proposed five-foot
high decorative wooden fence, retaining wans, new trees along the .westem propert'j lme, and 15-foot
rear yard setback would screen amhnmimize the intrusiveness or theproposed three-stor¡ reside:ltial
buildings relative to the single-family residences to the west. Given the location of the site on a;1
established, intensively developed commercial corridor, and the relatively moderate height and bulk
of the proposed structures, the impact of this change would not rise to a level of significance under
the California Environmental Quality Act as implemented by the Cil'j of Chula Vista,
The proposal includes downward-facing, non-spill exterior lighting within parking areas, and along
portions of the site perimeter~~:The proposed lighting would comply with the lighting regulations of
the Chula Vista Municipal Cõae and, therefore, would not result in a significant lighting impact.
Air Qualitv
Based upon the relatively minor amount of site grading that would be necessary to accommodate the
proposed development, the amount of project-generated traffic that is anticipated and the consistency
of the project with the City's General Plan, the proposal would not result in the violation of any air
quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The proposed project
would potentially generate sufficient construction vehicle emissions and dust during constrUction-
related operations to result in a short-term significant, but mitigable, impact to air quality. Fugitive
dust would be created during construction operations as a result of clearing, earth movement, and
.'travel on unpaved surfaces. Dust control during grading operations would be regulated in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the County of San Diego Air Pollution Control District and the
California Air Resources Board. Compliance with the mitigation measures outlined below in Section
F would reduce this potentially significant impact to below a level of significance.
Geo10~ and Soils
The project site has been previously graded and developed with a mobile home park and multifamily
residential units. The preliminary grading plans specify 1,020 cubic yards of cut and 1,520 cubic
yards of fill, which would require a grading pennit.
The. preparation and submittal of a final soils report will be required prior to the issuance of a grading
permit as a standard engineering requirement. There are no known or suspected seismic hazards
associated váth the project site. The site is not within a mapped Earthquake Fault Zone. Tnerefore,
project comþliance with applicable Unifonn Building Code standards would adequately address any
building safety/seismic concerns. -.
The potential discharge of silt during construction activities could result in siltation impacts
downstream. Appropriate erosion control measures would be identified in conjunction with the
preparn:ion of final grading plans and would be implemented during constiùction. Tne
implementation of water quality best m:magement practices (BwIPs) durJ1g construction would 1:e
required in accordance with l'iPDES Or¿er No, 2001-01. All ponions of the development area
distUrbed during construction would either be d~velopd or would be appropriately landsc~ped in
complianc~ with th~ Chula Vis:~ },[unicipal C~d~, Sections 19.36.090 and 19.3ó.llO. Ccmpiianc,
7 -3-1
with BMPs and NPDES Order No. 2001-01 would be required and would be monitored by the City.
1'.1e-.efore, the potential for the discharge of silt into the dr:linage system would be less than
si;nificant.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Lec;d and Asbestos Removal

shall be performed by a licensed and registered asbestos and lead abatement contractor in accordance
to a1\ applicable local, state and federal laws a:¡d reg'Jlations, including San Diego County Air
Pollution Control District Rule 361.145 - Standard for Demolition and Renovation. The mitÜtation
measure contained in Section F below would mitigate potential impacts associated :.vith ::-,e rele;se of
asbestos and lead to below a level of significance.
Hvdroloqv and Water OualitY-'-'
The proposed project site is not located within the 100-year floodplain. Public drainage system
facilities consist of a 60-inch corregated metal pipe (CMP) and a 66-inch reinforced corregated piFe
(RCP) along Broadway. The conceptual grading plan indicates the installation of storm drain
facilities necessary to collect and carry site drainage to the existing storm drain along Broadway. No
sheet flow is proposed to Broadway or adjacent properties. A final drainage study, t':1at includes
existing plus developed drainage conditions, 'Will "be required in conjunction with the preparation of
final grading and improvement plans. Properly designed drainage facilities win be installed at the
time of site development to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. No significant impacts to the City's
.. storm drainage system are anticipated to result from the proposed development.
Due to the size and existing condition of the project site, the preparation and impk::entation of a
"Construction Stann Water Management Plan" (CSWlvIP) prior to the issuance of any permit such as
a ConstructionlImprovement Permit is required. Compliance with provisions of the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region Order No. 2001-01 with respe~t to
construction-related water quality BMPs would be required.
Water quality Best Management Practices (Bj\;IPs) shall be incorporated into the design of the proje~t.
Such measures shall be designed to minimize discharge of pollutants into the storm drainage system.
Preliminary proposed BMPs include stonn drain inlet protection system, source control, protection of
stockpiles, protection of slopes, protection of all distur"bed areas, protection of access, and perimeter
con\ainment measures including landscaped treatments throughout the project site. Construction and
post-construction water quality best management practices (BMPs) - win be required to be
incorporated into the [mal grading plans.
Based upon'the project design with proposed conceptual BMPs, conditions of the Precise Pla.'1 that
include compliance with the NPDES Pennit requirements, and standard engineering requirements,
stonn drainage and water quality impacts ;vould be reduced to below a level of significance.

Noise
EiJar Associates prepared the "Pharos Plaza Acoustical Analysis Report" for the proposed project,
dated March 19,2004. This report is available for review at the City of Chula Vista Planning and
Building Department counter and is summarized below:
Exi:iting CondWons
The partia11y vacant project site fronts Broadway with parking a11owed along both sides cftne street.
According to the City of Chula Vista Eng;.neering Divisionfl:ransportation Section, this section of
Broadway carries a trafñc volume çf approximately 20,450 avei-ag'e-daily trips (ADT). Tne primary
noise source affecting the proposed qevelopment consists of vehicle iräffic traveling along Broadway.
The existing noise level at the eastern property line adjacent to Broadway is 69.2 decibels Community
Noise Equivalent Level «dB C:¡"'""EL), which is attributable primarily to traffic noise.
The City of Chula Vista has not adopted any specific numerical noiselland use compati.'bility levels to
establish significance criteria. However, as a matter of policy, the City employs the noise standards
set forth in the Noise Element of the City of San Di'ego Progress Guide and Genm.! Plan as
guidelines for the purpose of:CEQA analysis. The City's exterior noise level standard for noise-
sensitive areas, which include rêsidences and outdoor recreational areas, is 65 dB Q.<'"EL. The City's
exterior noise standard for office development is 70 dB CNEL.
Exterior Conditions Plus Proposed Project
Future traffic volumes were based upon a buildout traffic model run in March 2002. The future
projected bui1dout traffic volume along Broadway, south of "L" Street, is 25,300 ADT, The project
site wil1 be subjected, to future traffic noise generated from automobi1e and truck traffic along
Broadway. Based upon this projected traffic volume, the overall future traffic noise level at the
..eastern property line, adjacent to Broadway, is estimated at 70.2 dB CNEL.
According to the City's CEQA thresholds, residential outdoor use areas shall not exceed 65 dB
CNEL. The future traffic noise calculations show that_with the development of the proposed office
and residential structures, a11 of the proposed outdoor use areas (courtyards, barbeque areas, patios,
and balconies) will be exposed to noise levels ranging from 39,8 to 60.7 dB CNEL. Therefore, basd
upon the results of the acoustical analysis, no significant exterior noise impacts are identified.
Future Interior Conditions With Proposed Project
State Building Code (part 2, Title 24) requires that interior noise levels not exceed 45 dB CNEL or
less for multi-family units. Prior to the issuance of buildingpennits for the residential structures,
building construction plans wi11 be required to reflect any special design consideration (i.e.,
mechanical ventilation, enhanced glazing with the wall and window assemblies) as dee:ned necessary
to attenuate interior noise levels to 45 dB CNEL.
T ranroortatiönITraffic
The proposal is projected to generate 340 average daily vehicle trips (ADTs). Based upon the
projected level of project traffic generation and the level of service of the surrounding street netWork,
the Engineering Division has detennined that the proposal does not have the potential to r,sult in any
significant traffic impacts; therefore, the prep;¡r:¡tion of a traffic study was not required. The primary
access street in the vicinity of the project site, Broadway, cUITently opemes at acce;:tabie level of
senice (LOS) A and is projected to continue to operate at LOS A after project development. AccesS
to the project site is proposed from the existing driveway on the northern parcel.

Parking
Based upon the Chula Vista Municipal Code parking ratio require;nent for professional office of I
parking space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, and the parking ratio require;ne:lt for multi-
family dwelling units of 2 paÙing spaces per each reside::tial unit, the required parking for the
prcposal is 77 spaces. Prc;osed on-sire p;¡Ùing is 74 parking spaces; the applicant req"lests that the
additional 3 required parking spaces be al!owed to be provided on-street (Broadway), which requires
approval of a Precise Plan. Scaff concurs that the required findings can be made to support the
proposed minor parking deviation, establishing that no:significap.t.j1!1Pacts would result. Therefore,
no significant parking impacts are ariticipated to result from the proposal.
F. Mitigation Necessarv to Avoid Significant IrmJacts
Air QualitY
The fol!owing air quality mitigation requirements shall be shown on all applicable demolition,
grading, and building plans as.-details, notes, or as otherwise appropriate, and shall not be deviated
from unless approved in advance in writing by the City's Environmental Review Coordinator. .
1. During construction, dirt and debris stall be washed down or swept up as soon as practicable to
reduce the resuspension of particulate matter caused by vehicle movement over such material.
Approach routes to the construction area shal! be cleaned daily of construction-re1ated dirt and
debris.
2. In accordance with California Vehicle Code Section 23114, vehicles transporting loads of
aggregate materials must cover/t2I"p the material, or if not covered, the material mus, be no nearer
than six inches from the upper edge of the container area where the material contacts the sides,
front, and.. back of the cargo container area, and the load shall not extend, at its peak, above any
part of the upper edge of the cargo container area. This measure shall also apply to the transport
of any materials associated with demolition, grading, or building activities that can potential!y
become airborne.
3. Construction equipment shall be maintained in proper working order and shall be periodically
tuned in order to minimize air pollutant emissions; use of low pollutant-emitting construc\ion
equipment, including electrical-powered equipment, shall be used as practical. .
4. Soil disturbance and travel on unpaved surfaces shall be suspended when ",ind speeds exceed 25
miles per hour.
5. fJI unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other acceptable dust control
agents during dust-generating activities as necessary to minimize dust emissions to the ma;dmum
extent practicable. . Additional watering or dust control agents shall be applied during dry weather
or on wù;1dy days Until dust emissions are not visible.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The following hazards mitigation requirement shall be shown on al! demolition plans as a ,note.
6. Asbes,os and lead-based paint abatement shal! be perfonned by a lice::sed and re!ristered asbestos
and lead abatement contractor in accordance to.all applicable local, s¡ate and fe¿ecal laws and

II. The City Council of the City Chula Vista does hereby ordain as follows:
A. Certification of Compliance with California Environmental Quolity Act (CEQA)
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the
proposed project was adequately covered in Mitigated Negotive Declaration (IS-03-034).
The City Council has reviewed ond considered Negative Declaration (IS-03-034) and finds
that no further environmental review or documentation is necessary.
B. Independent Judgment of the City Council
The City Council does hereby find that in the exercise of their independent review and
judgment, the Mitigoted Negative Declaration and Mitigotion Monitoring ond Reporting
Program (15-03-034) in the form presented hove been prepared in accordonce with the
requirements of the Californio Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
7-70
Ordinance No.
Page 3
Guidelines and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista, and hereby
adopfs fhe Mitigated Negafive Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(IS-03-034).
C. Precise Plan Findings
1. That such use will not under the circumsfances of fhe particular case be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing
or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity.
The proposed precise pion standards will not have a negative impact on
the surrounding neighborhood. While such standards allow the
necessary flexibility to create a project which is more urban and
pedestrian oriented, they olso insure that a mixed use project will
maintain the continuity of the surrounding existing commercial and
residential development. Such standards will also allow fhe necessary
flexibility in development standards necessary to minimize the mass or
structures, as visible from surrounding oreas, by providing room for
adequate open space/courtyard areas between buildings on-site.
2. That such plan satisfies the principle for application of the "P" modifying
district as set forth in CVMC 19.56.041.
Section 19.56.041 (C) provides for the application of the "P" modifying
district if the basic or underlying zone regulation does not allow the
property owner and/or city appropriate control or flexibility needed to
achieve an efficient and proper relationship among the uses allowed in
the adjacent zone. Because the project is surrounded by a combination
of existing commercial and residenfial uses, one of the criteria used to
determine the preferred design of the project has been to insure that
the commercial portion of the project wos situated adjacent to
commercial uses and the residential portion was most adjacent to
existing residential uses.
3. That any exceptions granted which may deviate from fhe underlying
zoning requirements shall be warranted only when necessary to meet
the purpose and application of the Precise Plan.
Development of the lot using the development standards of the CC and
R3 zone would limit the ability of the opplicant to propose a design
which a) meets the goal of providing an urban, pedestrian oriented
design and b) configure the placement of the office and residential uses
on the site in a way that provides a natural extension of the established
separation on adjacent parcels between commercial and residential
land uses and also provides for additional open space and pedestrian
walkways between buildings in order to reduce the bulky appearance of
the mixed use project. The requested deviations under the precise plan
are warronted in order to achieve these goals.

Ordinance No. -

4. The approval of this plan will conform fo fhe General Plan and the
adopfed policies of the City Of Chula Vista.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and
ob¡ecfives of Chapter 10, Section 5.9 of the General Plan relative to
mixed-use development along Broadway. The Precise Plan, as
described, will allow the project to be consistent with the gools and
objectives of the General Plan, Southwest Redevelopment Area Plan
and the Chula Visfa Municipal Code.
D. The rezoning provided for herein is consistent with the City of Chula Vista
General Plan, public necessity, convenience and the general welfare and gaod zoning
pracfice suppart the amendment ta the Municipal Code.
E. The City Of Chula Vista Zoning Map established by Section 19.18.010 of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended to rezone the site as depicted in Exhibit "B"
from CTP (Thoroughfare Commercial, Precise Plan) to CCP (Central Commercial, Precise
Plan).
F. The Precise Pion Standards as depicted in Exhibit "C" are hereby adopted and
are supported by fhe required findings (CYMC Section 19.56.041, as outlined in secfion II(C)
