(Items pulled: none)
Member Moot stated that he reviewed Item 3 and had abstained when the underlying agreement was before the
Council because at that point in time Rancho del Rey Investors involved the McMillin Company which under
applicable FPPC rules, he could not participate and vote on items, However, his reading of Item 3 indicates that
McMillin is no longer affected by this agreement. Therefore, he believed he would be entitled to vote,
City Attorney Kaheny stated that if those were the facts, then it would be appropriate.

The committee interviewed three firms deemed the best and unanimously selected the firm of Stradling, Yocca,
Carlson & Rauth, Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Finance) Continued from the
meeting of 7/22/97.
Member Rindone stated that there was not an ending time; it was totally open ended. He was supportive of staffs
recommendation that it is time to review this and to go out to bid, but he felt that some reasonable time, e,g. ten
years, limit to again review this would be appropriate. He felt this would be a reasonable timeframe. He requested
consideration to review this again within ten years since he did not feel this should ever be totally open ended,
Robert Powell, Finance Director, responded that ten years would be appropriate. He stated that anything over five
years, he typically leaves as an open ended contract. We have the choice at any time to reevaluate this and go out
to bid. Bond counsels are one of those relationships, similar to outside auditors, where we build a relationship and
build on their expertise and benefit from their expenise only after they have done a few bond issues. He did not
believe this would be an issue with the recommended firm if we did put a ten year limit on it.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
5. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT SUPS-96-06(M) - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DAY
OF OPERATIONS (WEDNESDAY) FOR EXISTING SWAP MEET OPERATING FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY AT 690 'L' STREET, WITHIN THE I-L AND I-L-P ZONES--The swap meet has been conducting
business for approximately 5 months on a Friday through Sunday basis. The applicant is proposing to expand
operations to include Wednesdays. Staff recommends approval of the resolution based on the findings and subject
to the conditions contained in the resolution. (Director of Plarming and Director of Community Development)
AGENCY RESOLUTION 1550 APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO SPECIAL USE PERMIT SUPS-
96-08 TO ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL DAY OF OPERATIONS (WEDNESDAYS) FOR A SWAP MEET
LOCATED AT 690 "L" STREET
Lyle Haynes, Assistant to Community Development Director, stated that the Plarming Department has received some
letters of complaints from the property management company and from a couple of residents in an apartment
complex across the street from the Swap Meet identifying two issues: (1) The use of a PA system which was not
part of the operational profile for the project and which staff was unaware that the applicant had a PA system there.
(2) The traffic related to accessing the site from the most westerly driveway from Colorado Avenue which was
supposed to be an entrance for the vendors. All customers to the site should be accessing from the most easterly
driveway. Evidently from the letters received that is not always the case. Staff also understands that Mr. Joseph
is questioning the applicability of the sewer fees.
Councilmember Salas stated she visited the market recently because she wanted to know how he was complying with
all the conditions since she did not support the project when it came to the Agency in December. She felt that the
Agency voted to approved this, then we have to be fair to the applicant and try to work with him to resolve his
problems. When she was there, she did notice the music which was very loud and armoying. She wanted to know
if the noise that was disturbing to the people on Colorado Avenue was strictly music or if there were PA
armouncements made during the day.

Mr. Haynes stated that he understood it was the music. This is one of the issues with this project that it is located
so close to residential uses.
Councilmember Salas stated that one of the complaints that Mr. Joseph had was with the landscaping. He told her
that he was being required to rip up the plants because they were plants that the planning department did not like.
She looked at the plant materials and could not see anything objectionable with them.
Ken Lee, Assistant Planning Director, stated that Mr. Joseph had submitted a plan to the planning department before
installation. Staff provided comments back to him, He did not respond to those comments, He simply proceeded
with the project in terms of the mounding and the landscaping, When staff notified him, they indicated that there
were issues concerning the mounding; staff would not proceed with that issue, but staff did ask him to consider
adding some additional plant materials to the area since it was fairly sparse. He has not been in contact with the
landscape planner to go over the plan, but he did indicate that he would comply. Staff had not requested the
removal of any material, nor did staff ask him to remove the mound since it was already landscaped.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open, Addressing the Agency was:
. Rod Davis, 46 Center Street, Chula Vista, representing Mr. Joseph. To address Councilmember Salas'
concerns, they found out that Mr. Joseph didn't have to do landscaping at all. This was something which Cheryl
Cox, who was originally trying to help him, encouraged him to voluntarily add. As far as he knows, everything
is submitted to the City, and we have solved all the problems with the exception of the sewer fee which started out
as $30,000 and is now down to $3,000. Mr. Davis asked, on Mr. Joseph's his behalf, that Council grant him
immediate permission to go to Wednesdays since the 30-day extension would put him out of business, There are
no police problems, no traffic problems, Regarding the use of the wrong driveway, he will make sure that the
guard doesn't take any breaks during the hours of operation, and they will move the music to the far end of the
swap meet. We will solve the problems. This is the third swap meet in Chula Vista: the farmer's market which
is a swap meet doesn't have to follow any of these regulations, and the drive-in theater has a swap meet and they
don't follow any of these rules. Part of his concern is equity in treatment.
There being no one else desiring to address the Council, the public hearing was closed,
MSUC (Rindone/Horton) to adopt Resolution 1550 effective August 13, 1997 and direct staff to resolve the
outstanding issues including the sewer issue as presented, Motion passed unanimously 5-0.

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the changes on Community Redevelopment Law. the Agency approved a Five.Year
Implementation Plan for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area on December 13, 1994 (Attachment C),
The Implementation Plan describes the project area's goals and objectives for the elimination of blight in the
project area as well as programs and expenditures for achieving them. Community Redevelopment Law
requires that the Agency hold a mid.term public hearing to review progress made on the implementation
plans for all of the redevelopment project areas within its jurisdiction in order to hear testimony from all
interested parties and assess the plans' effectiveness. The Agency is requested to hold the required public
hearing for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area this evening,
The law also allows the Implementation Plan to be amended following public hearing, Staff recommends
the addition of two projects to the Bayfront Implementation Plan. The public hearing also includes a
discussion of the proposed amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency hold the public hearing. hear testimony and staff reports. approve
the mid-term progress report and amend the Implementation Plan by adding two projects,

DISCUSSION:
The Implementation Plan for the Bayfront Project Area (Attachment C). approved on December 13, 1997.
describes the redevelopment project area. its blighted conditions. progress in eliminating blight through 1994.
specific goals and objectives for future efforts in the project area, and describes programs and expenditures
to address remaining blight. The purpose of the mid-term public hearing, as required by Community
Redevelopment Law, is to review the efforts and progress made in eliminating blight in the project area over
the past two and one half years in terms of programs and expenditures cited in the Implementation Plan,
and discuss further actions to be undertaken for the duration of the five-year plan which expires on
December 31, 1999, At that time, the Agency will be requested to review additional progress and approve
a new Implementation Plan for an additional five years,
Some of the conditions of blight cited when the Bayfront Redevelopment Project was originally approved
included the decline of the coastal environment, depreciated property values. soil and water contamination,
degradation of environmentally sensitive wetlands and lack of public improvements.
The Agency is also requested to consider amending the Bayfront Implementation Plan to add two projects;
the extension of "H" Street and addition of the Tidelands to the Redevelopment Project Area.
PROGRESS MADE ON IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROJECTS
1. Completion of the Midbayfront Development Agreement
Following approval of the Local Coastal Plan in 1993, staff negotiated a development agreement for the 100
acres Midbayfront development site with the property owner/developer. However. after one year of the
negotiations. the ownership of the property changed and the new owners expressed their concern over the
financial viability of the proposed project. Negotiations were suspended until the new owners had an
opportunity to study the project and real estate market. The following year. the owners indicated that they
would not proceed with the Midbayfront project as approved by the City and Coastal Commission. but would
seek alternative development proposals, To date. no alternatives have been presented to the City for review
and the property remains undeveloped,
It will be a continuing goal of staff to assist the Midbayfront owners in identifying a viable development
opportunities for the property and proposals for development. Staff have and continues to make concerted
efforts to work with the development community and the property owner to explore opportunities for
development of the Midbayfront.
2, Amend Bayfront Redevelopment Plan to Extend Termination Date
The Bayfront Redevelopment Plan was approved in 1974 for a twenty-five year period which will expire in
mid.1999. Since a number of blighting conditions remain unaddressed, it will be necessary to extend the
life of the Plan to 2014 (forty years). the maximum allowed under Community Redevelopment Law, to
J -.2.

Page 3. Item ~
Meeting Date OB-19-97
address and allocate these conditions, The Agency has selected a consultant to assist staff in the
amendment process, The process began in June 1997 and is expected to be completed early in 1998. In
addition, the Agency is requested to consider incorporating the Tidelands properties into the project area,
The Tidelands are adjacent to the Project Area, but were never included because they are under the
jurisdiction of the San Diego Unified Port District. The Tidelands are inextricably linked to the redevelopment
area in terms of land use planning, development opportunities and the provision of public improvements. This
is a new project which will be further discussed later in this report.
3. Clean Up of Contaminated Properties
The Agency owns several properties on the Bayfront with contaminated soils, Clean.up of these properties
has been initiated with funding assistance from former property owners and insurance companies under the
State Polanco Act. Agency staff will oversee clean.up activities on the Bay Boulevard properties.
Completion of cleanup activities on these properties is estimated to cost $330,000 of which $130,000 will
be attributable to the Agency in staff and consultant expenses.
In addition, clean.up activities were recently completed on the Cappos property which is proposed to be sold
to the Port District in the near future. A purchase and sales agreement was executed for sale of the
Shangri-La property to the Port District in June and will go to the Port District Board in September. Escrow
should open following Port approval, Purchase funds deposited into escrow will be available to the Agency
to effect the clean.up of contaminated soils on the property which is required before the Port District will
complete the sale. It is anticipated that clean-up work on the property will commence this fall. It is
anticipated that clean-up work will take six months to complete,
4, Initiate Grading, Infrastructure and Park Improvements in the Midbayfront
Grading and infrastructure activities for development of the Midbayfront must await approval of development
plans for this area, Since there are currently no proposals, it is doubtful that any grading or public
improvement work will proceed before the end of the decade. However, with sale of the Shangri.La
property to the Port District, and the proposed sale of the Cappos and Marina Motel properties early next
year, it may be possible to provide limited recreational and commercial development at the terminus of
Lagoon Drive in advance of development of the Midbayfront.
5, Disposition of Agency Property at Bay Boulevard and E Street (Area 5 on locator Map)
The Agency owns a six acre site at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and E Street which will be
accessed through the Midbayfront. Although temporary access may have to be provided if the property
develops before the Midbayfront, permanent access to this site is dependent upon development of
Midbayfront infrastructure which is discussed above, Agency staff will continue to look for development
opportunities for this site as the local real estate market improves.

6, Housing
During the first two and a half years of this citywide five year plan, the Agency has attained 47% of its
housing goal. Eighty-three (83) units of a projected 175 units were assisted using Redevelopment low and
Moderate Income Funds, Of these 83 units, none were located in any of Chula Vista's five redevelopment
project areas. No displacement occurred during this period, however, 63 units are expected to be displaced
in Town Center /I during the next couple of years, These 63 units will be replaced by surplus units Chula
Vista has accumulated over the years, In addition, 401 units were assisted by City staff using non Agency
funds.
More details on the progress of meeting the Agency's housing goals are provided in the report marked
Attachment B. Each of the five redevelopment area plan updates has the same summary and report, which
reflects citywide activity.
GOALS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE REMAINING TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS
The Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area will expire at the end of
1999. For the remaining period covered by the Implementation Plan, staff intends to accomplish the
following:
1. Completion Df the MidbayfrDnt development agreement (Area 1 on Locator Map)
It is not realistic to predict that a development agreement will be completed by the end of the decade.
Staff's efforts will focus on working with the Midbayfront Dwner to identify development opportunities and
review proposals, The need for additional environment analysis and Coastal Commission approval will
depend, in part, upon how much any future development plans deviate from the approved local Coastal Plan
for this area.
Staff costs for this activity are estimated at $100,000,
2, Amendment Df the RedevelDpment Plan (Area 2 on Locator Map)
Staff will continue to process an amendment to the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan to extend the termination
date to 2014 and to add the Tidelands to the project area. This activity will provide the tools to assist
in the elimination of blighting influences and help attract new development to the area.
Estimated staff cost for this activity is $80,000 in consultant costs and $40,000 in staff costs.
3. Clean-up Df Contaminated Properties (Area 3 on Locator Map)
Staff will continue clean-up activities on the Bay Boulevard properties and, pursuant to the provision of
funding through escrow for sale of the Shangri-la property, coordinate the clean-up of that property so that
it can be sold to the Port District for redevelopment.
Estimated cost of these activities is $50,000.

4. Initiate Grading, Infrastructure and Park Improvements in the Midbayfront
It is unlikely that any development will occur on the 100 acre Midbayfront parcel before the end of the
decade. However, it should be possible to identify development opportunities and elicit proposals during that
period.
With sale of the Agency's Lagoon Drive properties to the Port District, it may be possible to provide limited
park and recreational improvements at the westerly end of Lagoon Drive. Subject to Coastal Commission
approval, it may also be possible for the Port District to explore commercial development opportunities on
these properties independent of the Midbayfront parcel.
Staff will continue to work with the Midbayfront developer towards identifying development opportunities
over the next two years. Staff will also work with the Port District and Coastal Commission staff to
explore development opportunities for the Lagoon Drive properties.
Estimated cost for these activities is $75,000 in staff expense,
5, Disposition of Agency Property at Bay Boulevard and "E" Street (Area 5 on locator Map)
Agency staff will continue to seek developers for this property. However, it should be noted that delay in
sale of this property until development of the Midbayfront will result in enhanced value and better
development opportunities,
Cost for this activity is estimated at $20,000,
ADDITIONAL PROJECTS/AMENDMENT OF THE REDEVElOPMENT PLAN
In accordance with Section 33490 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, Implementation Plans
may be amended at any time by the Agency following a public hearing. Staff recommends that the Agency
consider amendment of the Bayfront Implementation Plan by adding the two projects identified below, The
proposed amendment was included in the public notification and the additional projects were discussed as
part of the public hearing held this evening.
1. Bayfront Redevelopment Plan Amendment to Include Addition of the Tidelands to the
Project Area
The Chula Vista Tidelands, comprising approximately fifty acres, lie adjacent to the Bayfront Project Area,
Although the tidelands are located within the City of Chula Vista, they fall under the management of the
San Diego Unified Port District pursuant to State law, and were, consequently, omitted from the
redevelopment area. Staff has been working with Port District staff and tenants towards expediting
development in this area which has been slow to occur due to a variety of blighting influences including
inadequate visibility and access, inappropriate mixture of land uses and possible soil contamination. The
~.~-
Page 6. Item ..J....
Meeting Date 08-19-97
Agency has determined that including this area in the redevelopment project area will provide better financial
tools for eliminating blight and encouraging new development.
Since the Agency is proceeding to amend the Bayfront Project Area to extend the termination date, it would
be appropriate to include the addition of the Tidelands in the amendment process, The Agency has approved
the hiring of a consultant to assist staff in this activity, The process has begun and is anticipated to be
completed early in 1998, Total cost of this activity is estimated at $120,000 (see #2 above).
2, Extension of "H" Street west of Bay Boulevard
"H" Street currently terminates at Bay Boulevard (entrance to Rohr). The westward extension of "H" Street
through to Sandpiper Way will provide an important third entrance to the Bayfront, and a primary entrance
to Chula Vista Harbor. Access is essential to physically and visually link the Tidelands to the City and
attract new development.
The Port District recently completed a conceptual study for the extension of the roadway, analyzing and
costing eight alternatives. City staff, working with Rohr officials and Port District staff, will pursue further
analysis of the preferred alternative in terms of engineering requirements, environmental impacts and
identification of funding sources,
It is proposed that the Implementation Plan be amended to incorporate this project. Estimated staff
expenses are $100,000, Development expenses for staged extension of the roadway have been preliminarily
estimated at $6 million,
CONCLUSIONS
The first two and one half years of the Implementation Plan have been characterized by substantial progress
in the treatment and removal of contamination soils from Agency.owned properties and the initiation of a
redevelopment plan amendment to extend the termination date of the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan and add
territory, Progress in development of the Midbayfront and the Agency property located at Bay Boulevard
and E Street has been disappointing,
During the remaining period covered by the Implementation Plan, staff's activities will be concentrated more
on the south Bayfront (Tidelands and Rohr properties) which include the redevelopment plan amendment and
extension of "H" Street. Staff will continue to pursue completion of the sale of the Shangri.la property
to the Port District and negotiate terms for sale of the Cappos and Marina Motel properties. Staff will
continue to work with the Midbayfront owner and seek development proposals for the Midbayfront and
Agency's E Street properties,
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated costs associated with each project are indicated above. The costs
include staff, consulting and development related expenses and may be budgeted, as funds permit, in a single
or multiple fiscal years. It is the intention of staff to complete as many of the projects listed as practical
c$-e.

Page 7, Item ~
Meeting Date 08-19-97
depending upon the availability of funds, feasibility, priorities and workload, It should be noted that inclusion
of a project in the Implementation Plan does not require the Agency to budget and complete a project, nor
preclude the Agency from undertaking any additional qualified projects,
Total costs for implementation of projects remaining to be completed are estimated at $465,000 in staff
and consultant expenses. These are very preliminary estimates and subject to change and refinement.
For housing in particular, from July 1994 through June 1997, $2,566.451 was spent from the
Redevelopment Moderate and Low Income Fund to assist approximately 83 units (plus land acquisition for
the development of another 18 units) in non-redevelopment project areas, The expected expenditure for the
rest of the plan period, July 1997 through December 1999, is approximately $2.8 million for 92 units
remaining from the original 175 units in the 5-year plan,

Housing Implementation Plan Update
January I, 1995 - June 30, 1997
Agencv Assisted Units
The five year citywide goal was to assist 175 units through rehabilitation and or construction
in Chula Vista using Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Funds, The actual number
of units that received assistance or has received a commitment for assistance from the
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Fund is 83 from January I, 1995 to June 30, 1997,
This includes the completion of 26 scattered site mobile home park rehabilitation grants, 13
scattered site single family housing rehabilitation loans, the sale of two mobile home park
spaces and loan repayments of two mobile home park spaces in Orange Tree Mobile Home
Park and a commitment towards the development of 40 rental units at Cordova Village in
Rancho del Rey, Construction will begin on Cordova Village in August 1997,
Of these 83 units, 39 were rehabilitated and 44 were developed (including the four referenced
mobile home park spaces above), This compares to the 5 year projection of 50 being
rehabilitated and 150 being developed, Of the 150 being developed, it was projected that 50
units would be developed in the redevelopment areas, The actual number of units developed
in the redevelopment areas was zero, The 83 units outside the redevelopment area consisted
of zero units for families with moderate incomes, 32 units for families with low incomes, and
51 units for families with very low incomes, The Agency has exceeded its obligation
identified in 1990 to develop 21 units for families with very low income by an extra 30 units,
No new development has taken place in the redevelopment areas between January I, 1995 and
June 30, 1997, thus no new obligation has accumulated, The number of units that were
displaced during this period was zero, compared to the projected 65, However, consistent with
the 5 year plan, it is projected that 48 mobilehomes housing families with low incomes and 15
apartments housing families with low incomes will be displaced in Town Center II. These 63
displaced units will be replaced by the surplus of 41 units housing families with low incomes
noted in the 5 year plan (resulting from housing development activities between 1980-1990)
and by 22 units housing families with low incomes from the development of Cordova Village,
Non Agencv Assisted Units
The total non Agency assisted units are 40 I. Of these 72 were for families with moderate
incomes, 60 were for families with low incomes and 269 were for families with very low
mcomes,
300 units in Chula Vista were preserved for families with very low and low incomes between
January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997, These were HUD Section 236 units, Palomar Apartments
J-.t!J- I
and Oxford Terrace Apartments, which had expiring affordability restrictions, Both were
bought by non-profits using HUD Capital Grant funds, 252 units were for families with very
low incomes and 48 were for families with low incornes,
Another 17 units were developed for very low income families, which included 16 units of
public housing built by the San Diego County, L Street Manor, and one unit for transitional
housing developed by the non profit South Bay Community Services, Plus 12 units were sold
to families with low incomes in the Salt Creek One master planned community at Cabo and
72 units were sold to families with moderate incomes at Sanibelle as part of Rancho del Rey's
affordable housing requirement.
Agencv Assisted and Non Agencv Assisted Units Combined Total
Agency assisted and non Agency assisted units rehabilitated or developed between January 1,
1995 and June 30, 1997 total 484 units, Of these 72 were for families with moderate incomes,
92 were for families with low incomes and 320 were for families with very low incomes,

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
(Health & Safety Code Section 33490)
BAYFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
The five-year Implementation Plan for the Bayfront Redevelopment is an adopted to meet
the requirements of Section 33490 of the Health and Safety Code. This plan is a flexible
policy document and not a limitation on the Agency's activities in this project area,
B. Background
The Bayfront Redevelopment Project; comprising 637 acres was established in 1974,
This project area, which encompasses property west of 1-5 from D Street to L Street
originally included a variety of land uses ranging from industrial to farming. The
Redevelopment Area boundaries are described on the attached map (Exhibit A), Large
sections of the project area, notably the Mid-bayfront and D Street Fill are undeveloped
and lack infrastructure improvements. They also contain valuable wetland resources and
provide access to the San Diego Bay.
Development of the Mid-bayfront has long been a major goal of the City, Early plans for
this area were rejected by the California Coastal Commission. Subsequent plans, approved
by the Commission, were the subject of litigation with the Sierra Club. Finally in January
1993, a revised Local Coastal Plan (LCP) including substantial conservation and
development of the Mid-bayfront was approved by the City and the Coastal Commission,
Negotiations between the Agency and the owner/developer for the preparation of an
agreement describing and controlling development and conservation activities have been
ongoing since approval of the LCP. The Specific Plan and the Local Coastal Plan require
extraordinary dedication of land, development of public improvements, and long-term
mitigation monitoring which hinder the ability to economically develop the property.
The original Redevelopment Plan has a duration of twenty-five years, and 'will terminate in
1999. A Redevelopment Plan amendment will be necessary to extend the life of the Plan
to the maximum allowed under State law (to the year 2014) in order to incorporate,
control and provide financial assistance for development of the Mid-bayfront. .
The Implementation Plan is intended to be a flexible policy document to guide Agency
activities over the next five years (1995 through 1999) and is not intended to represent a
limitation on Agency activities. The programs/projects included in the Implementation Plan
are those priority programs anticipated to be implemented during the next five years;
however, they are not all of the programs/projects necessary to eliminate blight iQ the
project area.
Financial Condition of the Project Area: Financial limitations have been established for the
project area as follows: "The aggregate amount of tax revenues which may be divided
and allocated to the Redevelopment Plan for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project shall be
limited to the amount which would be required in any fiscal year to pay the principal and
interest coming due in such fiscal year on loans, advances or indebtedness issued b'(the
Agency in the aggregate principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), the total
actual amount of which principal and interest is $210,000,000," (Ordinance No, 2585)
J_C - I
....-.,

Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 2
For the purpo$es of clarification, the $50,000,000 amount represents the maximum total
principal and interest indebtedness that can be outstanding at anyone time. Further, the
$210,000,000 amount represents the total tax increment that can be collected, but it's
use is not limited to debt service on bonded indebtedness; those funds can be used for
such other costs as reasonable operating expenses and affordable housing set-aside
obligations.
II. BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
A. Pre-Plan Bliqhtinq Conditions
When the project area was adopted in 1974, the reasons for the selection of the project
area were the following:
1, The danger to the quality and quantity of the marine life due to uncontrolled
development of a project area which contains such unique features as salt marshes
and endangered wildlife species.
2, The decline in coastal environment, including recreation and aesthetic values, due to
the uninterrupted water-related general industrial development in the South Bay area.
Development of this nature is obviously contra-indicated due to the lack of deep water
access.
3. The desirè to create a modern urban commerciallrecreational center for the City of
Chula Vista where a range of activity from housing to recreation' could take place and
where a living and working environmental could exist for the use and enjoyment of the
general public.
4. The existence of soil and groundwater contamination from hazardous materials that
have depreciated property values and impaired investments and that can only be
practically, economically remedjated through the use of redevelopment powers.
5, The substantial existence of environmentally sensitive and degraded wetlands which
require extraordinary land dedication, restoration, and long-term mitigation monitoring,
all of which create a substantial burden on the economic use of the properties and
result in depreciated values and impaired investments.
6. The lack of public improvements and utilities, which combined with the blighting
conditions listed above, creates a serious physical and economic burden on Chula
Vista which cannot be alleviated practically by government or private activity without
redevelopment powers.
In addition, the report on the redevelopment plan states:
"Because of the general industrial character of the South Bay, the project area
represents one of the last opportunities to provide public-oriented bayfront uses in this
aree..,"

B. Proaress in Eliminatina Bliahtina Conditions
Since adoption of the Plan in 1974, the Agency has worked to eliminate certain of these
conditjons through the following efforts:
1, Prepared a Mid-bayfront Development Plan in conjunction with the
landowner/developer and regulatory agencies,
2, Prepared and processed Local Coastal Plan through the California Coastal Commission
and received certification in February 1993. The plan includes all of the City's coastal
properties, including the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area.
3, Planned and constructed the Nature Interpretive Center in cooperation with the
Bayfront Conservancy Trust,
4, Acquired and cleared properties for redevelopment along Bay Boulevard, north and
south of F Street.
5, Successfully relocated auto wrecking businesses from the project area,
6, Acquired property for the reconfiguration of the CalTrans 1-805 southbound off-ramp
which has been completed along with the widening of E Street, west of 1-5.
7, Completed the following redevelopment projects:
Anthony's Restaurant
Days Inn
EI Torito Restaurant
- Rohr Corporate Headquarters
- Marina Gateway Industrial Project
C. Current Bliahtino Conditions
Despite the progress that has been made to date, existing blighting conditions in the
project area are as follows::
1. The existence of soil and groundwater contamination from hazardous materials that
have depreciated property v?lues and impaired investments and that can only be
practically, economically remediated through the use of redevelopment powers.
2. The substantial existence of environmentally sensitive and degraded wetlands which
require extraordinary land dedication, restoration, and long-term mitigation monitoring,
all of which create a substantial burden on the economic use of the properties and
result in depreciated values and impaired investments.
3. The lack of public improvements and utilities, which combined with the blighting
conditions listed above, creates a serious physical and economic burden on Chula
Vista which cannot be alleviated practically by government or private activity without
redevelopment powers.

III. SPECIFIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT AREA
To address the conditions listed in II C above, the following goals are being pursued:
1. Enhance depreciated property values and encourage private development by the
elimination of the economic blight created by the existence of soil and groundwater
contamination in the Bayfront; in particular, exercise State Polanco Act authority to
make economically viable the clean-up of Agency-owned properties on Bay Boulevard
near F Street and the "Shangri-La" property. Such clean-up would not be
economically practical without the redevelopment powers deriving from "Polanco."
Once "clean," those properties can be disposed of for redevelopment purposes.
2. Provide for the enhancement and dedication of salt marshes, the inclusion of
development buffers from sensitive habitat, and financial support for long-term
mitigation programs in a manner which will not burden development to the point of
infeasibility by negotiating disposition and development agreements with developers
and by providing redevelopment-generated funding,
3, Provide for the delivery of public improvements in the project area such as streets,
trails, parks, and drainage facilities through the utilization of redevelopment-generated
funding, thereby allowing for the elimination of the blighting burden of the existing
inadequacy of such improvements and the obligation on the developer to unilaterally
provide such improvements, thereby creating the opportunity for the orderly, desirable,
and economically-viable redevelopment of the Bayfront.
IV. PROGRAMS. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES PROPOSED FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS
Major programs and related expenditures proposed over the next five years are described
below. Specific projects may be proposed under each program. These serve as examples
of projects which may be undertaken by the Agency. However, other projects which meet
the program requirements may also be pursued, The costs described are based upon
anticipated tax increment cash flow over the next five years net of debt service and
administrative costs.
A. Completion of Midbavfront Development Aareement
Since approval of the Local Coastal Program for the Chula Vista coastal areas, including
the Bayfront Redevelopment Area, staff has been negotiating with the Midbayfront
property owner/developer towards completion of a development agreement for this 1 05
acre development site. The proposed project includes 1600 hotel rooms, 1000 dwelling
units, waterfront parks, lagoons, sports facilities and a cultural arts center. It also includes
funding for the City's Nature Center.
Major negotiating issues include funding for the cultural arts éenter and Nature Center,
development staging, delivery of public improvements, implementation of environmental
mitigation, and financial assistance from the Agency.

Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 5
Total staff and legal consulting services costs for completion of a Development Agreement
are estimated at $200,000. We anticipate the likelihood of additional major expenditures
to implement this program.
B. Amend Bavfront Redevelocment Plan
The Bayfront Redevelopment Plan is scheduled to terminate in 1999. The Plan was
completed in 1974 and does not include recent changes in state law or the approved Local
Coastal Plan, The Redevelopment Plan must be amended to extend the term to the
maximum allowable under current law (year 2014) and incorporate legislative changes and
the recently approved Local Coastal Plan. An estimated $100,000 in staff and consulting
services will be required for this activity.
C. Clean Uc Contaminated Procerties
The Agency owns several properties on the Bayfront with contamina~ed soils. Clean-up of
these properties has been initiated with funding assistance from former property owners
and insurance companies under the State Polanco Act, The Agency will oversee clean-up
activities, Completion of clean-up work is expected to cost $330,000, of which
$130,000 will be attributable to the Agency in staff and consultant costs.
D. Initiate Gradino. Infrastructure and Park Imcrovements in the Midbayfront
The Midbayfront Development Plan includes approximately $42 million in public
improvements (streets, parks, lagoons and conservation). It is the Agency's goal that this
work be initiated in the next five years. This will require the preparation, analysis and
processing of the Specific Plan, grading plans, and related reports.
Agency/City costs to review and process required documents are estimated at $100,000,
some of which will be reimbursed through permit processing fees.
E. Discosition of Aoency Procertv at Bay Boulevard and E Street Procerty
The Agency owns a six-acre site at the northeast corner, of Bay Blvd. and E Street which
will be accessed through the Midbayfront. The development of this site is dependent upon
staging of Midbayfront development and completion of infrastructure to provide access.
The value of this property has been depreciated by the existence of contamination and
substandard improvements for industrial use. The improvements have been removed. The
contamination will be addressed by Project "C" above. The property, which has freeway
visibility, will increase with consolidation of its parcels and as the Midbayfront project
comes closer to reality, Marketing of this parcel should occur concurrent with the
initiation of Midbayfront infrastructure improvements and is estimated to cost $20,000 in
staff and marketing expenses.

V. HOW GOALS. OBJECTIVES. PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES WILL ELIMINATE
BLIGHT
The impact that goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will have towards the
alleviations of blighting influences as noted in the Redevelopment Plan is described below
and summarized in the attached matrix (Exhibit B),
A. Goals and Obiectives
The goals and objectives, as stated in the Redevelopment Plan and in Section III above,
will address blighting conditions caused by the existence of hazardous conditions, the
extraordinary land dedication and long-term mitigation monitoring required by the existence
of sensitive habitat, and the lack of public improvements in the Bayfront.
The goals and objectives support the creation of a modern urban center; a focal point with
an identifiable image which compliments the downtown commercial district.
B. ProQrams
The specific programs and expenditures will eliminate blight as described below and
summarized on the matrix attached as Exhibit B.
1. Comoletion of Midbavfront Develooment Aoreement
Will provide the legal and financial framework to carry out the Midbayfront
development program in compliance with the approved Local Coastal Plan.
Requirements will include environmental conservation measures, infrastructure
improvements, development phasing plan, development of bayside parks and
recreational facilities, and funding for the City's Nature Center and proposed
Cultural Arts Center. The agreement will also provide Agency financial assistance,
conditioned upon performance, to carry out the project.
The completjon of the development agreement will define the participation by the
Agency and the developer in the provision of the improvements a"nd mitigation
that burden the property and create economic blighting conditions.
2. Amendment of the Redevelooment Plan
The proposed Midbayfront project, as approved in the Chula Vista Local Coastal
Plan, cannot be carried out without amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to
accommodate the approved LCP end extend the duration of the project to provide
control o"ver and financing for the multi-year project. The current Redevelopment
Plan, approved in 1974, will expire in 1999. Under state law, the plan can be
extended to 2014.
Amending the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan is essential to the elimination of blight
in the Bayfront. The amendment will allow the time and the financial resources
J.C-~
~ ~¿~
- .
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 7
for the Agency to accomplish the goals and programs identified in this document,
Without the amendment, none of the goals and programs are accomplishable,
3, Cleanup of Contaminated Properties
At the time that the Bayfront Redevelopment Prbject was approved, it was not
known whether any properties contained soil or groundwater contamination, and
these issues were not specifically listed as blighting influences. Subsequently, the
Agency has acquired a number of properties in the Midbayfront, three of which
contain contaminated soils with possible impacts to the groundwater.
Contamination must be addressed to comply with state regulations if these
properties are to be redeveloped. Cleanup of these properties will address
conditions caused by earlier uncontrolled development which create a danger to
the quality of marine life and decline of the coastal environment.
Clean-up of the properties is essential to eliminating the blighting effect of the
depreciation of the subject property.
4, Initiate Gradino, Infrastructure and Park Improvements in the Midbayfront
The Agency-participation in the provisjon of these public improvements is essential
to the elimination of blight, as the resources do not exist for the City or private
developers to bear the total burden of such improvements,
5. Disposition of Aoency ProDerty at Bay Boulevard and E Street
Disposition and development of this 'property will alleviate blighting conditions that
have depreciated property values. These blighting conditions have been created
by the existence of contamination and the inadequately-sized lots. The Agency
action will provide for clean-up of the contamination and the marketing for
redevelopment of the consolidated parcels.
VI. EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOALS. OBJECTIVES, PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES
WILL IMPLEMENT PROJECT HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
A. Goals and Objectives
The Bayfront Redevelopment Project was adopted prior to January 1, 1976, the effective
date of Section 33413, thus the inclusionary housing provision of Sections 33413(b) do
not apply to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project, The project contributes 20% of all tax
increment generated to the low/moderate income housing fund which provides Agency
assisted housing both within and outsid.e of redevelopment areas, Exhibit C further
describes housing goals, production and funding,
B. Proiects and expenditures to be Made Durina the Next Five Years
1. Annual housing production goals have been established Citywide, See Citywide
Housing Goals attached as Exhibit C.
..ß-~-7
~
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 8
2. Estimated number of low/moderate income housing units to be destroyed in Years 1-5:
. None. There are no low/moderate income housing units within the Project Area.
3, Replacement Housing Site
As part of the Mid-bayfront development, one thousand new housing units are proposed-
The City's housing program requires that the developer provide 10% low/moderate income
units (100 units) on or off-site. The developer has indicated a preference to provide these
units off-site, The provision of these units will be a condition of development and
stipulated in the Development Agreement.
4, Low/Moderate Housing Fund Expenditure Program
The Bayfront Redevelopment Project redistributes 20% of the tax increments accruing
from the Project Area to the Agency's Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund. Estimated
deposits and expenditures are included in the Agency's Housing Plan, see Exhibit C.
5, Housing Production Plan
. See Exhibit C,
6, Low/Moderate Income Housing Production Results
. See Exhibit C,
VII. Midterm Review and ReadoDtion and Amendment of the ImDlementation Plan
Adoption of the Implementation Plan shall not constitute an approval, of any specific
program, project, or expenditure and does not change theneed to obtain any required
approval of a specific program: project or expenditure from the Agency or community.
The projects described in the Implementation Plan are examples of undertakings which will
meet the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Project. Other projects which meet
program requirements may also be pursued by the Agency.
This is the initial Implementation Plan for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project. This plan
will be reviewed by the Agency at least once within the five year term of the Plan. The
review, including a noticed public hearing, will take place no earlier than two years and no
later than three years after adoption of this Initial Plan, The Agency will bold a requisite
public hearing and adopt a new Implementation Plan every five years from the date of
adoption of the Initial Plan.
The Implementation Plan may be amended by the Agency at any time following a noticed
public hearing.

EXHIBIT C
CITY OF CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
I. INTRODUCTION
This housing implementation plan for the Bayfront, Town Centre I, Town Centre II, Southwest, and
Otay Valley Road Project Areas has been prepared by Agency staff for the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency (Agency). Pursuant to Section 33413(d). because the Bayfront
Redevelopment Project Area was adopted prior to January 1,,1976, the inclusionary housing
provisions of Section 33413 do not apply to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project. The
implementation plan is being prepared and adopted in accordance with the recently enacted AB
1290 legislation and addresses the housing production requirements. The key requirements of the
legislation that this section of the implementation plan addresses are:
. A description of the Agency's specific housing related goals and objectives for the project
area, including specific programs, possible projects, and expenditures for the next five years,
. A discussion of the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund including the amount in the Housing
Trust Fund, amounts to be deposited in the next five years and anticipated expenditures.
. Proposed locations suitable for replacement housing units in instances where plan activities
trigger the need for such units.
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will implement the
low and moderate income housing set-aside and housing production requirements of the law,
including an annual housing program.
. A description 'of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will increase and
improve the inventory of low and moderate income housing units,
II. HOUSING PLAN - CHAS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
The City of Chula Vista has adopted a Comprehensive Housing AffordabHity Strategy (CHAS) per
the requirements for communities receiving funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The CHAS, which was adopted for the period January 1, 1994 to December
30, 1999, includes:
. Identification of the existing and projected housing needs and establishment of goals, policies,
objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing to meet
the needs of all economic sectors of the community,
. Description of the resources (human and financial), markets and strategies intended to meet the
housing needs of the community.
. Investment decision-making guides for elected officials, program administrators, community
organizations and banks, housing developers and concerned citizens. .
." - C- /"
Attachment C Page 1
- . . e::zd-
. Long-term (Five Year Strategy) and short term (Annual Plan) guides which describe the general
priorities, plans and allocation of federal, state, local and private resources and funds.
The CHAS provides the City with estimates of current and future housing needs. Specific activities
intended to provide assistance to the community were identified in the CHAS including goals,
policies and program objectives to address the current and future need,
The policies, goals and objectives for both the City's Five Year Strategy and One Year Action Plans
are predicated on both the CHAS and the Chula Vista Housing Element. , The Housing Element,
adopted March 3, 1992 as part of the General Plan, contains an in-depth evaluatjon of the
demographic, economical and sociçl characteristics of the City along with projections and trends
impacting housing and community needs, The broad goals established as part of the Housing
Element are:
. To promote and ensure the provision of adequate housing for all persons regardless of income,
age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background or other arbitrary factors.
. To promote and ensure the provision of housing selection by location, type, price and tenure,
. To promote and ensure the development of a balanced resjdential environment with access to
employment opportunities, community facilities and adequate services,
Taking these goals and Chula Vista's specific needs into consideration, the Housing Element
describes all of the housing-related programs being implemented in Chula Vista, including:
residential rehabilitation activities, new construction of affordable units, housing assistance
programs for the aged and disabled, assistance programs for owners and renters, and fair housing
and affirmative marketing.
The City of Chula Vista,. in cooperation with the City's Housing Authority and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, implements and administers the various housing programs developed
through the CHAS and the Housing Element to address housing needs.
Household Income levels
The CHAS identifies categories of community members needing assistance and establishes priorities
based upon the findings compiled during the data gathering phase of the strategy development. The
specific income groups being targeted are very 19w income, low income and moderate income
households, which are defined by using the San Diego County median income level as the basis.
The County median is determined annually, and is adjusted for household size. Based on the 1994
median income of $45,400 for San Diego County (assuming a 4 person household), the income
groups are as follows:
Income level Percent of Median 4 Person HH Income
Very low 0% to 50% $0-$22,700
low 51 % to 80% $22,700-$36,320
Moderate 81%t0120% $36,321-$54,480
Specific activities intended to provide housing assistance to target income groups were identified
in the CHAS and given priority rankings.

Housinq Needs
The unmet housing need in Chula Vista is quantified in the Housing Element based on the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
These numbers indicate the following housing need by income group as of 1991:
Income Level Housinq Needs as of 1991 Housinq needs as of 1994
Very low 1232 1125
Low 628 610
Moderate 131 131
However, these calculations don't take into consideration the 107 very low income and 18 low
income housing units that have been developed through financial assistance of the Agency. Taking
these figures into account, the current housing needs for the five year plan are as shown above to
the right.
III, HOUSING FUND (TWENTY PERCENT SET ASIDE) REQUIREMENTS
As part of the Agency's efforts to meet its unmet housing needs, tax increment housing set aside
funds have been and will continue to be used to create affordable housing' units, , The estimated
amount of tax increment housing set-aside available for fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99 for
the combined project areas is $5,964,051. Table 1 on page following estimates the yearly tax
increment by project area.
The total revenues to be deposited over the five year period are estimated at $5.9 million. The
beginning balance in the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994 was
$1,704,436. Thus, $7,668,358 in funds are projected to be available over the five year projection
period.
Allocation of Funds to Proarams
The Allocation af these funds are presented in Table 2. Based Òn existing programs and pro forma
cost projections for new and rehabilitated units, up to 175 additional units could be created over
the five year period. Funds are allocated among newly constructed and rehabilitated units as
follows: .150 new housing units; and 25 rehabilitated housing units.
IV. EXCESS/SURPLUS
As defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 33334,12(g)(1), an agency has an
excess/surplus at any time that unexpended and unencumbered monies in the Agency's low and
moderate income housing fund exceed the greater of $1.0 million or the total funds deposited in
the low and moderate income housing fund over the preceding four fiscal years.
For the purposes of complying with the current mandate, the Agency must determine whether an
excess/surplus existed as of July 1, 1994. This is determined by comparing the unencumbered
balance of the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994, to the sum of the
property tax increment housing set-aside dep'osited into the fund between fiscal years 1989-90
through 1992-93. If the amount of unencumbered funds in the account exceeds the sum of the
deposits, the Agency has an excess/surplus.

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency deposited $2,792,234.00 to the low and moderate
income housing fund between fiscal years 1989-90 and 1992-93. Comparatively, the
unencumbered balance of the low and moderate income housing fund was $1,704,436.00
as of July 1, 1994. Thus, no excess/surplus currently exists.
The annual plans included in this five year implementation pian call for the entire available
balance in the low and moderate income housing fund to be expended annually. Thus, it is
not anticipated that the Agency will experience excess/surplus at any time point during the
five year planning period,
, These units include housing units to receive minor rehabilitation through Agency assistance, The
majority of the units are mobilehomes,
'These units will be discussed later in the report, They are units the Agency plans to displace ,in the next
five years due to redevelopment projects,

V. REPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Section 33413(a) of the California Health and Safety Code requires that whenever units
housing persons of low and moderate incomes are destroyed or removed from the low and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, the Agency shall within
four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct for rental or sale,
to persons of low and moderate income, an equal number of replacement units. At least 75 %
of these replacement units must be made available at an affordable housing cost fC!r the same
income level as the household that was displaced.
The Agency .incurred an obligation to replace 157 units that were demolished as a result of
redevelopment activities in the various project areas, This figure excludes units displaced in
the Agency's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974 and
is not subject to the replacement housing requirement. Of the 157 units displaced, 104 were
very low income trailers (one bedroom), 27 units were low income (one bedroom) and 26
units were low income (two bedroom).
The replacement units must meet the following minimum income standards:
Unit Tvee Income level Number of units
1 bedroom very low 78
1 bedroom low 20
1 bedroom low or moderate ...âl
: Total 131
Unit Tvee Income level Number of units
2 bedroom very low 0
2 bedroom low 20
2 bedroom low or moderate ~
Total 26
The above units were replaced with the following 184 very low and low income housing units
built with Agency participation on a Citywide basis. These projects are the following:
Proiect Number of units bv bedroom
Town Centre Manor 59 (58 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Dorothy Street 22 (22 three bedrooms)
Silvercrest 75 (74 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Civic Center Barrio 28 (6 one bedroom, 13 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom)
The projects listed above contain 166 very low income and 18 low income housing units.
These units fulfill the Agency's replacement obligation for the 157 housing units displaced in
the past. Moreover, a surplus of very low and low income housing units was constructed
beyond the requirement that 75 % of the units removed after September 1, 1989 be replaced
with units having an equal or greater number of bedrooms and be available at an affordable
housing cost for the same income level as the household that was displaced.

Proiected Housinq Displacement and Development Activities
In the next five years, there exists the possibility of 65 additional units being displaced due
to potential redevelopment activity as follows:
Project Area Number of Units displaced
Town Centre I None
Town Centre II 48 low income mobilehomes & 15 low income apts
Southwest None
Otay Valley Road 2 low income sinqle familv homes
TOTAL 65 low income units
The above 65 housing units add an additional development obligation of 65 low income
housing units by the Agency. .
Replacement Sites
The following is a breakd'own of possible housing replacement sites and housing developments
in project areas for the next five years,
Town Centre I
. The Windmill Farms site is zoned Central Commercial/R-3 High Density Residential.
2.65 acres. No housing development is expected on this site in the next five years.
Town Centre II
. The Sweetwater Union High School District headq~arter is planned to be relocated
within the next 3-4 years. The current site is in zoned R1-P, low density housing,
comprising 7.93 acres and can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning. This
housing should be affordable to moderate income persons and could be developed in
the next five years.
Southwest
. Possible sites for future housing development may be located within the Woodlawn
Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and southwestern Dorothy Street communities.
However, no housing development is planned at this time to be developed in the next
five years.
Otav Valley Road
. All land in project area is zoned for light industrial development. There are no suitable
housing sites within the project area.
"The Agency is not currently planning any activity which would result in
the loss of these units.

Affordable Housina Production Onclusionarv) Reauirements
Section 33413(b) (1) 'and (2) of the California Health and Safety Code imposes inclusionary
requirements on all housing units built in Redevelopment Project Areas, whether developed
by the Agency or by private entities, For the project areas adopted on or after January 1,
1976, the following restrictions apply:
1, At least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by a
redevelopment agency must be affordable to persons of low and moderate income. Not
less than 50% of those units (15% of the total) must be available to very low income
persons,
2. For units developed by other public or private entities, at least 15 % of the units must be
affordable to low and moderate income persons; not less than 40% of these units must
be made affordable to very low income persons.
Affordable units created outside of the project areas may be counted toward this requirement
on a 2 for 1 basis. In other words, if the Agency develops two affordable housing units
outside of a project area, only one of the two housing units can be counted toward overall
Agency production,
Within the City of Chula Vista, all of the project areas are subject to the housing production
requirements excluding the Bayfront Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974, These
requirements must be met every ten years in the aggregate, but are planned for on a five year
basis.
Past Housina Development Activities
A total of 344 housing units have been built in all the project areas by entities other than the
Agency generating an inclusionary housing requirement for 21 very low income units and 31 ..
low or moderate income units. The breakdown of the 344 housing units by project area is
as follows:
Total 1 5 % of Required Completed Required Completed
Proiect Area Units Total Low/Mod Low/Mod Verv Low Very Low
Town Centre I 235 35 21 71 14 0

TOTAL 344 52 31 72 21 0
Between 1980 and 1990, the Agency provided financial assistance to 72 low and moderate
income units and no very low income units, Thus, at present the Agency has a surplus of 41
low and moderate income units and an obligation for the development of 21 very low income
units.

Aqencv Assisted Housinq for Next Five Years
For all the redevelopment areas in the City, it is estimated that 18 moderate income units of
housing should be developed in next five years. This project was referred to above in the
Town Centre II replacement site selection. These units have the following affect to the
Agency's current deficit housing situation in Town Centre II:
Low/Mod Income Verv Low Income
Existing Deficit in Town Centre II 10 6
Impact of TCII Housing 118 units'): -2 --1
New Deficit in Town Centre II 12 7
As shown below, the 18 moderate income units when construc~ed in the next five years will
create an additional surplus of 16 low and moderate income units for the Agency and an
obligation for the development of one additional very low income unit.

, Section 33413 states that 15% of the 18 TC II units must be affordable to low and
moderate income and that 40% of the low/mod units must be affordable to very low income.
In this case, 18 X 15% = 3 low/mod units. (3 X 60% = 2 low/mod units) (3 X 40% = 1

VI. LINKAGE OF HOUSING SET ASIDE FUND EXPENDITURES WITH NEED
The City of Chula Vista, through the development of CHAS and Housing Element of the
General Plan, has determined that there is a need to provide and encourage the development
of very low, low and moderate income housing throughout major portions of the City, The
planned use of the Housing Funds in the Project Areas will be undertaken in accordance with
-, these policy documents, and will continue to be expended to fulfill these established goals and
objectives, The use of these funds will directly increase and improve the supply of affordable
housing within the City of Chula Vista,

REVIEWED BY: Executive DirectorJ'-1 ~6&7 ~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes- Noll
BACKGROUND: In accordance with changes in Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency approved a Five Year
Implementation Plan for the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area on December 13, 1994
(Attachment C). The Implementation Plan describes the project area's goals and objectives for the
elimination of blight in the project area as well as programs and expenditures for achieving them,
Community Redevelopment Law requires that the Agency hold a mid-term public hearing to review progress
made on the implementation plans for all redevelopment project areas within its jurisdiction in order to hear
testimony from all interested parties and assess the plans' effectiveness, The' Agency is requested to hold
the requisite public hearing for the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area this evening.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency hold the public hearing, hear public testimony and staff reports,
and approve the mid-term progress report,
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Otay Valley Road Project Area Committee, at
their meeting of July 28, 1997, reviewed the Implementation Plan and mid-term report to the Agency. The
Committee recommended that the Agency approve the mid.term report as submitted.
DISCUSSION:
The Implementation Plan for the Otay Valley Road Project Area (Attachment C), approved on December 13,
1994, describes the redevelopment project area and its blighted conditions, progress in eliminating blighting
conditions through 1994, specific goals and objectives for future efforts in the project area, and describes
programs and expenditures to address remaining blight. The purpose of the mid.term Public Hearing, as
4-1
Page 2, Item ~
Meeting Date 08/19/97
required by Community Redevelopment Law, is to review the efforts and progress made in eliminating blight
in the project area over the past two and one half years in terms of the programs and expenditures cited
in the Implementation Plan, and discuss further actions to be undertaken for the duration of the five year
plan which expires December 31. 1999, At that time, the Agency will be requested to review additional
progress and approve a new Implementation Plan for the next five years.
The conditions of blight at the time of approval of the project included undeveloped or underdeveloped
properties, lack of public improvements and utilities, and lack of adequate circulation.
Progress made on Implementation Plan Proiects
1. Complete Improvements to Utay Valley Road
As predicted in the Implementation Plan, the project to widen and improve Otay Valley Road from a two.lane
blacktop in poor condition and inadequate to accommodate anticipated industrial and commercial development
in the area, to a 6-lane major arterial was completed in 1995, Additional improvements east of Nirvana
(where the road width necks down to three lanes) and the bridge crossing the Otay River will be completed
as warranted by future growth and development in the area.
The total project cost was $14,6 Million. The project was primarily financed through the formation of a
benefit assessment district. However, the City and Agency contributed approximately $1,8 Million towards
this project.
Although new development has been slow to occur in the area due, in part, to the lingering economic
recession in southern California, completion of the roadway has enabled the Whitewater Canyon Water Park
and MCA Amphitheater projects to proceed, These facilities will provide regional cultural and recreational
opportunities unique to the San Oiego region and provide both full and part time employment opportunities
to local residents, With the road completed and over 100 acres of vacant land zoned for industrial
development, substantial new development is anticipated over the next several years,
2. Resolve Soil/Water Contamination Issues
Several properties in the Otay Valley are impacted by the presence of contaminated soils and groundwater,
The presence of contaminated groundwater may not, in itself, pose a health hazard or preclude development
of parcels. However, it can have impacts upon lender attitudes resulting in financing difficulties.
Over the past two years, Agency/City staff have worked with affected property owners, County staff and
State regulatory agencies in an effort to resolve some of the contamination issues impacting properties in
the project area. The results of staff efforts to date are listed below:
8 Omar Rendering site n Darling International, the current owner of the site, has been working with
the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the Regional Water Quality Control
4-:J..
Page 3, Item A
Meeting Date OBI19197
Board (RWQCB) to achieve regulatory closure on the site. They have submitted a health risk
assessment which DTSC approved, clearing the way for surface development (industrial). They have
not yet obtained closure from the RWQCB for contaminated groundwater, It is expected that within
the next year, the RWQCB will either close the case or force cleanup,
It should be noted that several nearby property owners claiming that contaminated groundwater
under their properties has been caused by migration from the Darling International property have
been issued "no further action" letters by the RWQCB. This has facilitated title transfers and
financing of improvements on these properties,
8 Otay Valley Road, I - 805 (SE Quadrant) -. This property was previously impacted by soil
contamination caused by tenants storing and working on motor vehicles, The Property owner has
received environmental clearance from the County Department of Health Services to develop property
which includes over twenty acres of vacant land zoned for industrial development.
8 Shinohara property (Chula Vista Auto Park) .. Staff worked with the property owner's consultants
and DTSC to obtain a reclassification to non.hazardous status of stockpiled soil contaminated with
lead and burn ash material, thus allowing the material to be relocated to a local, non-hazardous
landfill. This will make relocation of the material financially practical. Final approval from the State
was received early in 1997, In addition, the County Board of Supervisors recently approved a
waiver of tipping fees for this material at the Otay Landfill. Removal of the contaminated material
from this site will enable expansion of the Chula Vista Auto Park.
3, Expansion of the Auto Park
Staff continues to work with property and auto dealership owners to attract additional auto dealers to the
area. Although no additional dealerships have committed to locate in the auto park to date, discussions are
currently ongoing with several companies for the location of a new dealership in the area. With the recent
annexation of the Otay Ranch properties to the City and new developments occurring to the east of the auto
park including the water park and MCA Amphitheater, identification and traffic in the area are expected to
increase dramatically, making it a more attractive location for additional dealers.
4. Resolve Traffic Circulation Issues
The development of a twenty acre parcel located in the southeast quadrant of Otay Valley Road and I . 805
will require traffic circulation improvements including coordinated signalization at Otay Valley Road to avoid
congestion and disruption of traffic to and from the freeway, The circulation study can not begin until a
serious development proposal has been received for this site, Although there have been several proposals
in the past two years, none of these have advanced to the stage of requiring the study. In consideration
of increased business activity in the region and the advantageous location of this property, it is anticipated
that a proposal for development will be forthcoming in the next two years,

5. Provide Support for the otay Regional Park
Agency staff participates on the planning and advisory committees for the Otay Regional Park. Several City
projects which staff have worked on, the water park and proposed MCA Amphitheater, will further the
commercial and recreational character development in the river valley and may attract similar land uses to
this area. Because of this possible trend in the area, the City Council plans to hold a workshop later this
year to discuss future land uses in the Otay River Valley.
6, Additional Projects
late in 1996, Hyspan Precision Products announced that they plan to construct a second industrial building
on their site comprising approximately 20,000 square feet. Some of the new space will be leased. It is
anticipated that construction of the new building will begin late in 1997,
City staff is currently studying the relocation of the City's Animal Shelter, presently located on a 1/2 acre
site in the center of a 23 acre parcel designated for expansion of the auto park. It is anticipated that the
future location of the animal shelter will be determined shortly.
7. Housing
Ouring the first two and a half years of this citywide five year plan, the Agency has attained 47% of its
housing goal. Eighty-three (83) units of a projected 175 units were assisted using Redevelopment low and
Moderate Income Funds, Of these 83 units, none were located in any of Chula Vista's five redevelopment
project areas, No displacement occurred during this period, however, 63 units are expected to be displaced
in Town Center II during the next couple of years. These 63 units will be replaced by surplus units Chula
Vista has accumulated over the years, In addition, 401 units were assisted by City staff using non-Agency
funds.
More details on the progress of meeting the Agency's housing goals are provided in the report marked
Attachment B, Each of the five redevelopment area plan updates has the same summary and report, which
reflects citywide activity.
GOALS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE REMAINING TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS
The Five Year Implementation Plan for the Otay Valley Road Project Area will expire at the end of 1999,
For the remaining two and 112 years staff hopes to accomplish the following:
1. Soil and Groundwater Contamination Issues (Area 1 on Locator Map)
Staff will continue to work with property owners and the regulatory agencies towards resolving
contamination issues which are currently impeding development of several major parcels in the project area.
Efforts will be concentrated on removal of contaminated soils on the Shinohara property and removing the

impediments to development of the Darling Delaware property. Additional staff costs to complete these
activities are estimated at $50,000.
2, Expansion of the Auto Park (Area 2 on locator Map)
Staff will continue to work with auto dealers and property owners towards the attraction of additional auto
dealerships to the area. Promotion materials are currently being prepared to inform the auto companies of
the advantages of locating in the Dtay Valley. Additional assistance will include the provision of financial
incentives and accelerated development plan processing for new dealerships, The staff cost for these
activities is estimated at $50,000 over the following two years,
3. Specific Site Circulation Studies (Area 3 on locator Map)
Although funds are not budgeted in the current fiscal year for this activity, future redevelopment plans for
the southeast quadrant of 1-805 and Otay Valley Road will trigger the need for a circulation study and
traffic improvements. The extent of improvements will depend, in part, upon the nature of the development
proposal for this area. Staff costs are estimated at $50,000 and improvement costs could total as much
as $200,000.
4. Future Recreational and Commercial Opportunities
Staff will pursue the scheduling of a City Council workshop to discuss land use and development issues in
the Otay River Valley including the redevelopment project area, This area, historically used for farming,
mining and industrial land uses, is now considered a potential resource for recreational development.
Staff costs to pursue additional planning activities are estimated at $30,000.
CONCLUSIONS
The first two and one half years of the Implementation Plan have been marked by substantial progress in
eliminating blighting influences and other impediments to development in the project area including the
completion of Otay Valley Road and progress made on the resolution of contamination issues impacting
several major properties, Unfortunately, during this period, Southern California was recovering from a
prolonged economic recession which has impeded growth and development in the region. At this time, it
appears that recovery is under way, Because of the availability of large tracts of developable land at
reasonable cost and recent projects completed in the area, substantial growth and development is anticipated
in the project area over the coming years.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated costs associated with each project are indicated above, The costs include
staff, consulting and development related expenses and may be budgeted, as funds permit, in a single or
multiple fiscal years, It is the intention of staff to complete as many of the projects listed as practical
depending upon the availability of funds, feasibility, priorities and workload. It should be noted that inclusion
4-~
- . .,. -
Page 6. Item ~
Meeting Date 08/19197
of a project in the Implementation Plan does not require the Agency to budget and complete a project. nor
preclude the Agency from undertaking any additional qualified projects.
Total redevelopment staff costs for implementation of projects remaining to be completed are estimated at
$180,000, An additional $200,000 in improvement costs may be necessary. These are very preliminary
estimates and subject to change and refinement.
For housing in particular, from July 1994 through June 1997, $2,566.451 was spent from the
Redevelopment Moderate and Low Income Fund to assist approximately 83 units (plus land acquisition for
the development of another 18 units) in non-redevelopment project areas. The expected expenditure for the
rest of the plan period, July 1997 through December 1999, is approximately $2,8 million for 92 units
remaining from the original 175 units in the 5-year plan.

Housing Implementation Plan Update
January I, 1995 - June 30, 1997
Agencv Assisted Units
The five year citywide goal was to assist 175 units through rehabilitation and or construction
in Chula Vista using Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Funds. The actual number
of units that received assistance or has received a commitment for assistance from the
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Fund is 83 from January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997,
This includes the completion of 26 scattered site mobile home park rehabilitation grants, 13
scattered site single family housing rehabilitation loans, the sale of two mobile home park
spaces and loan repayments of two mobile home park spaces in Orange Tree Mobile Home
Park and a commitment towards the development of 40 rental units at Cordova Village in
Rancho del Rey, Construction will begin on Cordova Village in August 1997,
Of these 83 units, 39 were rehabilitated and 44 were developed (including the four referenced
mobile home park spaces above), This compares to the 5 year projection of 50 being
rehabilitated and 150 being developed, Of the 150 being developed, it was projected that 50
units would be developed in the redevelopment areas, The actual number of units developed
in the redevelopment areas was zero. The 83 units outside the redevelopment area consisted
of zero units for families with moderate incomes, 32 units for families with low incomes, and
51 units for families with very low incomes, The Agency has exceeded its obligation
identified in 1990 to develop 21 units for families with very low income by an extra 30 units,
No new development has taken place in the redevelopment areas between January 1, 1995 and
June 30, 1997, thus no new obligation has accumulated, The number of units that were
displaced during this period was zero, compared to the projected 65, However, consistent with
the 5 year plan, it is projected that 48 mobilehomes housing families with low incomes and 15
apartments housing families with low incomes will be displaced in Town Center II, These 63
displaced units will be replaced by the surplus of 41 units housing families with low incomes
noted in the 5 year plan (resulting from housing development activities between 1980-1990)
and by 22 units housing families with low incomes from the development of Cordova Village,
Non Agencv Assisted Units
The total non Agency assisted units are 401. Of these 72 were for families with moderate
incomes, 60 were for families with low incomes and 269 were for families with very low
lllcomes,
300 units in Chula Vista were preserved for families with very low and low incomes between
January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997, These were HUD Section 236 units, Palomar Apartments

and Oxford Terrace Apartments, which had expiring affordability restrictions, Both were
bought by non-profits using HUD Capital Grant funds, 252 units were for families with very
low incomes and 48 were for families with low incomes,
Another 17 units were developed for very low income families, which included 16 units of
public housing built by the San Diego County, L Street Manor, and one unit for transitional
housing developed by the non profit South Bay Community Services, Plus 12 units were sold
to families with low incomes in the Salt Creek One master planned community at Cabo and
72 units were sold to families with moderate incomes at Sanibelle as part of Rancho del Rey's
affordable housing requirement.

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
(Health & Safety Code Section 334901
OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
The five year implementation plan for the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project is adopted
to meet the requirements of Section 33490 of the Health and Safety Code. The plan is a
flexible policy document and not a'limitation on the Agency's activities in this project area
over the coming five years.
B. Background
The Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area is an urbanized area located in the
southeastern corner of the City and comprises 771 + acres. The Otay Landfill (County)
occupies approximately 265 acres in the northerly section of the project area. Approximately
163 acres along the southerly boundary, are classified as environmentally sensitive wetlands
and earmarked for conservation and recreation. Public streets. comprise 21 acres. The
remaining 322 acres, or 43% of the project area, is zoned for light industrial development.
At the time of approval of the redevelopment project, 70 percent of the developable acreage
was vacant. Currently, 42 percent of the redevelopment project area represents potential for
future economic development opportunities.
The redevelopment project was formed in December 1983 in order to eliminate conditions of
blight which were impacting industrial development in the area. In 1983 this area represented
the largest resource of under developed urbanized property in the City which could be used
for industrial development, thereby improving the City's employment and economic base.
Economic forecasts at the time of project adoption projected a five acres per year absorption
rate. In actuality, over 80 acres have been developed over the past decade.
The Redevelopment Plan has a duration of 40 years, (per AS 1290 and. recently adopted
Ordinance 2611 I, until the year 2032. Financial limitations have been established as follows:
$45 million in taxes which may be divided and allocated to the Agency, or if bonds are issued
or reimbursement agreements are entered into with other public agencies and/or private
entities, a cumulative total of $115 million, plus any amounts required by reimbursement
agreements with affected taxing agencies.
The implementation plan is intended to be a flexible policy document to guide Agency
activities over the next five years (1995 through 1999), and is not intended to represent a
limitation on Agency activities. The programs/projects included in the Implementation Plan
are those priority programs anticipated to be implemented during the next five years, however,
they are not all of the programs/projects necessary to eliminate blight in the project area.
The Redevelopment Area boundaries are described on the attached map (Exhibit A).

II. BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
A. Pre-Plan Conditions
The Redevelopment Plan adopted in 1983 identified the following blighting conditions in the
Project Area:
1. 'Undeveloped, unproductive and underdeveloped properties throughout the Area.
2. Inadequate street and circulation systems to serve potential traffic demand.
3, Inadequate street lighting, lack of curbs and gutters, and poor public improvements
and facilities"
/
4, The need for ¡;¡ddition¡;¡1 public ¡;¡nd priv¡;¡te utilities in order to ¡;¡ccommod¡;¡te the
development of properties within the Project Are¡;¡ boundaries, including the need for
additional flood control, W¡;¡ter service, storm dr¡;¡ins ¡;¡nd sewer facilities, ¡;¡nd for the
development of fire protection and prevention f¡;¡cilities.
5. The I¡;¡ck of proper utiliz¡;¡tion of m¡;¡ny properties within the Project Are¡;¡ boundaries
resulting in development constraints on a number of these properties, thus producing
a stagnant and unproductive condition of land which is otherwise potentially useful
¡;¡nd v¡;¡luable.
'. B. Progress in Eliminating Blighting Conditions
Since adoption of the Plan in 1983, the .Agency has worked to eliminate certain of these
conditions through the following efforts:
. Install¡;¡tion of a 10n water line in Otay Valley Road.
. Extension of natural gas and electric service along Maxwell Road
. Developed plans, financing, and initiated construction for the widening and
improvement of Otay Valley Road from 1-805 to the Otay River Bridge crossing, This
project includes the upgrading and undergrounding of electric and telephone utility
lines, and improved water service. It also includes the purchase and rehabilit¡;¡tjon
of fourteen acres of wetlands (eight have already been purchased).
. Reviewed and approved plans, and prepared development agreements for 17 new
industrial and 2 commercial projects which have been completed or are currently
under construction.
. Approved a Development Agreement for the Chula Vist¡;¡ Auto Mall, Phase I.
. Provided Industrial Development Bond financing for 2 industrial projects.

. Eliminated all auto recycling land uses south of Energy Way and enforced the
improvement of landscaping and maintenance of properties used for auto recycling
on Energy Way.
C. Current Conditions
Despite tl:1e progress that has been made to date, certain blighting conditions remain which
will impact future industrial and commercial development in the area. These conditions
include:
. Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including, but not
necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use
of agency authority as specified in Article 12,5 (commencing with Section 33459).
Several large parcels remain impacted by hazardous soil and groundwater contamination.
. . Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which prevent the
economic development of those or other portions of the project area. An example of
remaining blighting incompatibility is the City's Animal Shelter, which is currently located
in the middle of a large vacant parcel and is restricting the integrated development of the
site.
. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of
buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by a substandard desjgn, inadequate size
given present standards and market conditions, lack of parking, or other similar factors.
Traffic circulation inadequacies remain which are impacting development of major
industrial/commercial sites. . .
III. SPECIFIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT AREA
To further eliminate blighting conditions described above, the following goals and objectives
have been established in the Redevelopment Plan:
A. Goal
The Agency proposes to use the process of redevelopment to eliminate and mitigate the many
aspects of existing visual, economic, physical, social. and environmental blight within the
Project Area.
Within this broad goal, and as an indicator in the evaluation and determination of project
priorities, the following specific redevelopment objectives are established by the Agency:
B. Objectives
1. The elimination of existing blighted conditions, be they properties or structures, and the
prevention of recurring blight in and about the Project Area.
4-c-~
.,!... , I

2. The development of property within a coordinated land use pattern of commercial,
industrial, recreational, and .public facilities in the Project Area consistent with the goals,
policies, objectives, standards, guidelines and requirements as set forth in the City's and
County's adopted General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
3, The development of publi.c services and facilities including, but not limited to,
recreational, maintenance, and operational- services and facilities as are necessary and
required for the development of the Project Area.
4. The elimination of environmental deficiencies including inadequate street improvements,
inadequate utility systems, and inadequate public services; and its potential social,
physical, and environmental characteristics of bjght,
5. The development of a more efficient and effective circulation corridor system free from
hazardous vehicular, pedestrian, an bicycle interfaces.
6, The implementation of techniques to mitigate blight characteristics resulting from
exposure to highway and public right-of-way corridor activity and affecting adjacent
-< properties within the Project Area.
; .
7. Beautification activities to eliminate all forms of blight including, but not limited to, visual
blight, in order to encourage community identity.
8. The encouragement, promotion, and assistance in the development and expansion of local
- commerce and needed commercial and industrial facilities, increasing local employment
prosperity, and improving the economic climate within the Project Area, and the various
other isolated vacant and/or underdeveloped properties within the Project Area.
9. The acquisition, assemblage, and/or disposition of sites of usable and marketable sizes
and shapes for residential, open space, recreational and Project public facility
development within the Project Area.
10. The creation of a more cohesive and unified community by strengthening the physical,
social, and economic ties between residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational
land uses within the community and the Project Area.
11, The acquisition and disposition of property for the purpose of providing relocation
housing, as may be required, to implement the objectives of this Plan.
12, To provide for affordable housing availability as required by County, Region, or State law
and requirements, as necessary and desirable, consistent with the goals and objectives
of the community.
13. To encourage the coordination, cooperation, and assistance of other local agencies, as
may be deemed necessary, to ensure that projects undertaken by this Agency are
implemented to their fullest and practical extent.
~-C- if

14. The achievement of a physical environment reflecting a high level of concern of
architectural and urban design principals deemed important by the community.
15, To encourage community involvement and citizen participation in the adoption of policies,
programs, and projects so as to ensure that the Redevelopment Plan is implemented in
accordance with the objectives and goals of the General Plan.
16. To provide a procedural and financial mechanism by which the Agency can assist,
complement, and coordinate public and private development, redevelopment,
revitalization, and enhancement of the community.
IV. PROGRAMS. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES PROPOSED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
A. Redevelopment Expenditures
The preliminary list of Redevelopment programs and projects provided below represent a list
of staff-identified actions that, if implemented, will have a direct positive effect on the
elimination of blighting influences in the Project, Inasmuch as the proposed programs need
to be evaluated during the course of annual budgetary approval actions, the proposed
expenditures have not been fully determined, and in most instances, will be a function of
available redevelopment funding. The annual budget approval process will be the framework
within which staff-proposed programs will be evaluated and "compete" for funding approval
by the Redevelopment Agency Board. Additional programs are needed to completely eliminate
blight in the Project Area but the programs described in this section are proposed to be
implemented over the next five years. The costs described are based upon anticipated tax
increment cash flow over the next five years net of debt service and administrative costs.
B. Redevelopment Programs and Projects
1. Complete Improvements to Otay Valley Road
Construction on the widening and improvement of Otay Valley Road began in January 1994
and is expected to be completed in 1995. Phase I and II of this project currently under
construction, will widen the roadway to six lane major arterial standards from 1-805 to Nirvana
Avenue. East of Nirvana, the roadway will taper to three lanes to the City's easterly
boundary, Phase III which remains tobe constructed, includes widening of the Otay River
bridge crossing which was reconstructed this summer, and widening of approaches to the
bridge. Agency and City staff are coordinating design and construction activities, including
the upgrading and undergrounding of utilities and improvement of water service. The total
cost of Phase I, II and III of the project is $12, 351,634 and includes an Agency contribution
of $1,765,167. Completion of Phase II and Phase III will cost $2.3 million.
2. Resolve Soil/Water Contamination Issues
Several properties in the Redevelopment Area are impacted by contaminated groundwater
and/or soils. The presence of contaminated water below certain parcels may not, ¡nitself,
present a health hazard or preclude development of parcels. However, to the extent such
~-C -S-
-=:¡.. ~~
~
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan . Page 6
conditions, including th!, presence of contaminated soils, affect the financing of development
on undeveloped parcels, contamination could hinder future development in the area. Agency
staff will work with affected property owners, county and state regulatory agencies to
develop plans and timetables for remediation of contamination problems using available
legislative and funding resources.
In addition, staff will work with the property owner of the southwest corner of the Auto Park
site towards relocation of the stockpiled contaminated soils. By contractual agreement, this
material must be removed no later than August 1997. Removal will require coordination with
county and state health officials and county landfill officials.
Estimated staff and consulting costs over the next five years is $75,000.
3. Expand Auto Park
The Chula Vista Auto Park, comprising seventeen acres, was established in 1993. The first
two dealerships opened in 1994. In order for this project to be economically viable, additional
dealerships must be attracted to the area, The current auto park site can accommodate one
additional dealership. However, expansion to the east on the adjacent 23 acres of vacant land
.~ can accommodate an additional four to six dealerships. The City's Animal Shelter is located
on a 3/4 acre parcel in the center of this property thereby restricting integrated development.
Agency staff will work with the property owners and their consultants and City staff in an
effort to relocate the Animal Shelter and expand the Auto Park.
'. Total staff and consultant costs are estimated at $100,000. An additional $600,000 is
estimated to purchase a new site and reconstruct the Animal Shelter.
.
4. Resolve Site Specific Traffic Circulation Issues Impeding Development
Development of the twenty acre parcel located at the southeasterly corner of 1-805 and Otay
Valley Road requires the resolution of traffic circulation issues also impacting two adjacent
developed properties, and requires coordinated signalized access to Otay Valley Road, This
will require Agency staff coordination and traffic consultant services as well as the installation
of traffic signalization. Agency staff and consulting services are estimated to cost $75,000,
Traffic signalization is estimated to cost $200,000.
5. Provide Support for the Otay Regional Park
The proposed Otay Regional Park will provide active and passive recreational opportunities in
conjunction with preservation of natural habitat in the Otay River Valley, a section of which
forms the southerly boundary of the project area. Agency staff participate in this multi-
jurisdictional planning effort. Development of the Auto Park infrastructure has provided
access to the river valley and public parking. Future efforts will entail the development of park
improvements at the southerly end of Brandywine Avenue to serve as a trailhead and the
acquisition of an additional six acres of wetland acreage for the park system which will serve
as additional mitigation for the Otay Valley Road Widening project. Total cost of park
4-~-G:,
-ê. fo(

Five Year Implementation Plan Page 7
development is estimated at $240,000. The cost of purchase of the additional six acres of
wetlands is $120,000, totalling $360,000.
V. HOW GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES WILL ELIMINATE BLIGHT
The impact that goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will have towards the alleviation
of blighting influences as cited in the Redevelopment Plan is described below. The impact of
programs is also summarized on the attached matrix (Exhibit B),
A. Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives, were specifiCally developed to alleviate conditions of physical and
economic blight which impede development in the project area.
The goal established for the project area (in the Redevelopment Plan) specifically references
the use of the redevelopment process to eliminate and mitigate all aspects of blight.
The objectives specifically address blighting conditions impeding the development of
properties in the project area including inadequate traffic circulation systems, lack of public
facilities, inadequate utilities and services, and the need to eliminate visual blight due to
incompatible uses. The objectives also address issues concerning the proper utilization of
properties in this project area including issues caused by the proximity to H¡05. The
objectives are the coordinated interface between commercial, industrial, industrial and
recre¡¡tion land uses, and acquisition and assemblage of property for public purposes.
B. Programs
The program and related expenditures to complete Otay Valley Road carry out this goal by
specifically addressing the inadequacy of this two lane facility with no curbs, sidewalks and
inefficient lighting .to accommodate anticipated development in the area.
The program and expenditures to resolve soil and groundwater contamination issues address
the condition of undeveloped, underdeveloped and unproductive properties in the project area.
The program will address specific problems affecting two major properties in the project area
The program to expand the Auto Park also addresses the conditions of inadequate public
improvements, public facilities, visual blight characterized by, among other things, an
abundance of outdoor storage, and open yard/compound uses, junk yards and other marginal
type businesses.
Resolution of site specific circulation issues addresses inadequate traffic circulation and the
need for infrastructure improvements. Since development of several major properties are
currently restricted by inadequate access to Otay Valley Road and 1-805, resolution of
circulation issues will also address lack of development and proper utilization of properties in
the project area.

Development of the Otay Valley Regional Park will address issues related to the under-
utilization and unproductive use of properties and valuable resources in the project area.
Through conservation efforts, it will also address conditions related to improved flood control
in the Otay River Valley.
VI. EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOALS. OBJECTIVES. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES
WILL IMPLEMENT PROJECT HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
A. Goals and Objectives
California's Community Redevelopment Law requires that not less than 20% of all tax
increment generated by the Project shall be used for the purpose of increasing or improving
the community's supply of very low, low, and moderate income housing. The law requires
that at least 15 % of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed with housing assistance
by entities other than the Agency in a Redevelopment Project Area be affordable to low and
moderate income households, of which 40% must be for, and occupied by, very low income
households, Additionally, affordable dwelling units shall remain affordable for the longest
feasible time (usually 55 years) but no less than the period of land use controls established
in the Project plan (40 years as amended pursuant to AB 1290).
B. Projects and Expenditures to be Made During the Next Five Years.
1. Annual housing production goals have been established Citywide. See Citywide Housing
Goals attached as Exhibit C.
2. Estimated number of low/moderate income housing units to be destroyed in Years 1-5:
. Two - There are currently two low/moderate income r¡:¡ntal housing units within the
Project Area. These are located on a 23 acre site which is planned for
redevelopment by the owner. However, at this time the Agency has no plan to
participate in redevelopment of subject site,
3. Replacement Housing Site
The Redevelopment Project Area includes two moderate income rental housing units
which will eventually be displaced by development of the site. All of the developable land
within the project area is zoned for light industrial development. Consequently, there are
no housing units contemplated for development within the project area, There are no
areas suitable for housing development. If the housing is displaced as a result of Agency
activity, replacement housing will be provided as part of the Citywide low/moderate
housing program.
. For a location of low/moderate housing development sites, see Exhibit C.

4. Low/Moderate Housing Fund Expenditure Program
. The Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project redistributes 20% of the tax
increments accruing from the Project Area to the Agency's Low/Moderate Income
Housing Fund. Estimated deposits and e'xpenditures are included in the Agency's
Housing Plan, see Exhibit C, Table 1.

VII. CONCLUSION
Adoption of the implementation plan shall not constitute an approval of any specific program,
project or expenditure and does not change the need to obtain any required approval of a
specific program, project or expenditure from the Agency or community. The projects
described in the Implementation Plan are examples of undertakings which will meet the goals
and objectives of the Redevelopment Project. Other projects which meet program
requirements may also be pursued by the Agency.
This is the initial Implementation Plan for the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project, This
plan will be reviewed by the Agency at least once within the five year term of the Plan. The
review including a noticed public hearing, will take place no earlier than two years and no
later than three years after adoption of this initial Implementation Plan.
The Agency will hold a requisite public hearing and adopt a new Implementation Plan every
five years from the date of adoption of the Initial Plan
The Implementation Plan may be amènded by the Agency at any time following a noticed
public hearing.

CITY OF CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
I. INTRODUCTION
This housing implementation plan for the Bayfront, Town Centre I, Town Centre II, Southwest, and
Otay Valley Road Project Areas has been prepared by Agency staff for the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency (Agency). Pursuant to Section 33413(d), because the Bayfront
Redevelopment Project Area was adopted prior to January 1,.1976, the inclusionary housing
provisions of Section 33413 do not apply to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project. The
implementation plan is being prepared and adopted in accordance with the recently enacted AB
1290 legislation and addresses the housing production requirements, The key requirements of the
legislation that this section of the implementation plan addresses are:
. A description of the Agency's specific housing related goals and objectives for the project
area, including specific programs, possible projects, and expenditures for the next five years.
. A discussion of the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund including the amount in the Housing
Trust Fund, amounts to be deposited in the next five years and anticipated expenditures.
. Proposed locations suitable for replacement housing units in instances where plan activities
trigger the need for such units.
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will implement the
low and moderate income housing set-aside and housing production requirements of the law,
including an annual housing program.
. A description' of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will increase and
improve the inventory of low and moderate income housing units.
II. HOUSING PLAN - CHAS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
The City of Chura Vista has adopted a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) per
the requirements for communities receiving funds from the U.S. Departme'nt of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The CHAS, which was adopted for the period January 1, 1994 to December
30, 1999, includes:
. Identification of the existing and projected housing needs and establishment of goals, policies,
objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing to meet
the needs of all economic sectors of the community.
. Description of the resources (human and financial), markets and strategies intended to meet the
housing needs of the community.
. Investment decision-making guides for elected officials, program administrators, commu~ity
organizations and banks, housing developers and concerned citizens.
4-C'-1.3
Attachment C Page 1
-., ~
. Long-term (Five Year Strategy) and short term (Annual Plan) guides which describe the general
priorities, plans and allocation of federal, state, local and private resources and funds.
The CHAS provides the City with estimates of current and future housing needs, Specific activities
intended to provide assistance to the community were identified in the CHAS including goals,
policies and program objectives to address the current and future need,
The policies, goals and objectives for both the City's Five Year Strategy and One Year Action Pians
are predicated on both the CHAS and the Chula Vista Housing Element, The Housing Element,
adopted March 3, 1992 as part of the General Plan, contains an in-depth evaluation of the
demographic, economical and sociql characteristics of the City along with projections and trends
impacting housing and community needs, The broad goals established as part of the Housing
Element are:
. To promote and ensure the provision of adequate housing for all persons regardless of income,
age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background or other arbitrary factors,
. To promote and ensure the provision of housing selection by location, type, price and tenure,
. To promote and ensure the development of a balanced residential environment with access to
employment opportunjties, community facilities and adequate services,
Taking these goals and Chula Vista's specific needs into consideration, the Housing Element
describes all of the housing-related programs being implemented in Chula Vista, including:
residential rehabilitation activities, new construction of affordable units, housing assistance
programs for the aged and disabled, assistance programs for owners and renters, and fair housing
and affirmative marketing.
The City of Chula Vista,. in cooperation with the City's Housing Authority and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, implements and administers the various housing programs developed
through the CHAS and the Housing Element to address housing needs. .
Household Income Levels
The CHAS identifies categories of community members needing assistance and establishes priorities
based upon the findings compiled during the data gathering phase of the strategy development, The
specific income groups being targeted are very low income, low income and moderate income
households, which are defined by using the San Diego County median income level as the basis,
The County median is determined annually, and is adjusted for household size. Based on the 1994
median income of $45,400 for San Diego County (assuming a 4 persOn household), the income
groups are as follows:
Income Level Percent of Median 4 Person HH Income
Very low 0% to 50% $0-$22,700
Low 51% to 80% $22,700-$36,320
Moderate 81%t0120% $36,321-$54,480
Specific activities intended to provide housing assistance to target income groups were identified
in the CHAS and given priority rankings.

Housino Needs
The unmet housing need in Chula Vista is quantified in the Housing Element based on the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG),
These numbers indicate the following housing need by income group as of 1991:
Income level Housinq Needs as of 1991 Housinq needs as of 1994
Very low 1232 1125
Low 628 610
Moderate 131 131
However, these calculations don't take into consideration the 107 very low income and 18 low
income housing units that have been developed through financial assistance of the Agency. Taking
these figures into account, the current housing needs for the five year plan are as shown above to
the right.
III, HOUSING FUND (TWENTY PERCENT SET ASIDE) REQUIREMENTS
As part of the Agency's efforts to meet its unmet housing needs, tax increment housing set aside
funds have been and will continue to be used to create affordable housing' units. The estimated
amount of tax increment housing set-aside available for fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99 for
the combined project areas is $5,964,051. Table 1 on page following estimates the yearly tax
increment by project area,
The total revenues to be deposited over the five year period are estimated at $5.9 million. The
beginning balance in the low and moderate income housing fund as .of July 1, 1994 was
$1,704,436, Thus, $7,668,358 in funds are projected to be available over the five year projection
period.
Allocation of Funds to Proorams
The Allocation ofthese funds are presented in Table 2. Based on existing programs and pro forma
cost projections for new and rehabilitated units, up to 175 additional units could be created over
the five year period. Funds are allocated among newly constructed and rehabilitated units as
follows: .150 new housing units; and 25 rehabilitated housing units.
IV. EXCESS/SURPLUS
As defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.12(g)(1), an agency has an
excess/surplus at any time that unexpended and unencumbered monies in the Agency's low and
moderate income housing fund exceed the greater of $1.0 million or the total funds deposited in
the low and moderate income housing fund over the preceding four fiscal years.
For the purposes of complying with the current mandate, the Agency must determine whether an
excess/surplus existed as of July 1, 1994. This is determined by comparing the unencumbered
balance of the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994, to the sum of the
property tax increment housing set-aside dep'osited into the fund between fiscal years 1989-90
through 1992-93. If the amount of unencumbered funds in the account exceeds the sumof the
deposits, the Agency has an excess/surplus.

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency deposited $2,792,234.00 to the low and moderate
income housing fund between fiscal years 1989-90 and 1992-93. Comparatively, the
unencumbered balance of the low and moderate income housing fund was $1,704,436.00
as of July 1, 1994. Thus, no excess/surplus currently exists.
The annual plans included in this five year implementation pian call for the entire available
balance in the low and moderate income housing fund to be expended annually. Thus, it is
not anticipated that the Agency will experience excess/surplus at any time point during the
five year planning period,
, These units include housing units to receive minor rehabilitation through Agency assistance. The
majority of the units are mobilehomes,
'These units will be discussed later in the report, They are units the Agency plans to displace in the next
five years due to redevelopment projects.

V, REPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Section 33413(a) of the California Health and Safety Code requires that whenever units
housing persons of low and moderate incomes are destroyed or removed from the low and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, the Agency shall within
four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct for rental or sale,
to persons of low and moderate income, an equal number of replacement units. At least 75%
of these replacement units must be made available at an affordable housing cost for the same
income level as the household that was displaced, '
The Agency incurred an obligation to replace 157 units that were demolished as a result of
redevelopment activities in the various project areas. This figure excludes units displaced in
the Agency's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974 and
is not subject to the replacement housing requirement. Of the 157 units displaced, 104 were
very low income trailers (one bedroom), 27 units were low income (one bedroom) and 26
units were low income (two bedroom).
The replacement units must meet the following minimum income standards:
Unit Tvoe Income level Number of units
1 bedroom very low 78
1 bedroom low 20
1 bedroom low or moderate A
.- Total 131
Unit Tvoe Income Level Number of units
2 bedroom very low 0
2 bedroom low 20
2 bedroom low or moderate ....2
Total 26
The above units were replaced with the following 184 very low and low income housing units
built with Agency participation on a Citywide basis, These projects are the following:
Proiect Number of units bv bedroom
Town Centre Manor 59 (58 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Dorothy Street 22 (22 three bedrooms)
Silvercrest 75 (74 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Civic Center Barrio 28 (6 one bedroom, 13 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom)
The projects listed above contain 166 very low income and 18 low income housing units,
These units fulfill the Agency's replacement obligation for the 157 housing units displaced in
the past. Moreover, a surplus of very low and low income housing units was constructed
beyond the requirement that 75 % of the units removed after September 1, 1989 be replaced
with units having an equal or greater number of bedrooms and be available at an affordable
housing cost for the same income level as the household that was displaced.

proiected Housinq DisDlacement and DeveloDment Activities
In the next five years, there exists the possibility of 65 additional units being displaced due
to potential redevelopment activity as follows:
Proiect Area Number of Units displaced
Town Centre I None
Town Centre II 48 low income mobilehomes & 15 low income apts
Southwest None
Otay Valley Road 2 low income sinqle familv homes
TOTAL 65 low income units
The above 65 housing units add an additional development obligation of 65 low income
housing units by the Agency.
ReDlacement Sites
The following is a breakdown of possible housing replacement sites and housing developments
in project areas for the next five years,
Town Centre I
. The Windmill Farms site is zoned Central Commercial/R-3 High Density Residential.
2,65 acres. No housing development is expected on this site in the next five years.
Town Centre II
. The Sweetwater Union High School District headqiJarter is planned to be relocated
within the next 3-4 years. The current site is in zoned R1-P, low density housing,
comprising 7.93 acres and can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning. This
housing should be affordable to moderate income persons and could be developed in
the next five years.
Southwest
. Possible sites for future housing development may be located within the Woodlawn
Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and southwestern Dorothy Street communities.
However,. no housing development is planned at this time to be developed in the next
five years.
Otav Vallev Road
. All land in project area is zoned for light industrial development. There are no suitable
housing sites within the project area.
'The Agency is not currently planning any activity which would result in
the loss of these units.

Affordable Housina Production Onclusionarv) Reauirements
Section 33413(b) (1) 'and (2) of the California Health and Safety Code imposes inclusionary
requirements on all housing units built in Redevelopment Project Areas, whether developed
by the Agency or by private entities, For the project areas adopted on or after January 1,
1976, the following restrictions apply:
1, At least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by a
redevelopment agency must be affordable to persons of low and moderate income. Not
less than 50% of those units (15 % of the total) must be available to very low income
persons.
2. For units developed by other public or private entities, at least 15 % of the units must be
affordable to low and moderate income persons; not less than 40% of these units must
be made affordable to very low income persons,
Affordable units created outside of the project areas may be counted toward this requirement
on a 2 for 1 basis. In pther words, if the Agency develops two affordable housing units
outside of a project area, only one of the two housing units can be counted toward overall
Agency production.
Within the City of Chula Vista, all of the project areas are subject to the housing production
requirements excluding the Bayfront Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974. These
requirements must be met every ten years in the aggregate, but are planned for ona five year
basis.
Past Housina Develooment Activities
A total of 344 housing units have been built in all the project areas by entities other than the
Agency generating an inclusionary housing requirement for 21 very low income units and 31 ..
low or moderate income units. The breakdown of the 344 housing units by project area is
as follows:
Total 15% of Required Completed Required Completed

low and moderate income units and an obligation for the development of 21 very low income
units.

Aoencv Assisted Housino for Next Five Years
For all the redevelopment area's in the City, it is estimated that 18 moderate income units of
housing should be developed in next five years. This project was referred to above in the
Town Centre" replacement site selection. These units have the following affect to the
Agency's current deficit housing situation in Town Centre II:
Low/Mod Income Very Low Income
Existing Deficit in Town Centre II 10 6
Impact of TCII Housing (18 units'): --2 -1
New Deficit in Town Centre II 12 7
As shown below, the 18 moderate income units when construcied in the next five years will
create an additional surplus of 16 low and moderate income units for the Agency and an
obligation for the development of one additional very low income unit,

AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
RESOLUTION/SS.3 APPROVING THE MID-TERM REPORT FOR THE FIVE.
YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE SOUTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AREA PURSUANT TO SECTION 33490 OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT LAW
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director l.:B 1\1 ~
REVIEWED BY: ,'OC"'W Œ.'":J\ "j~ - V"", V,,- ..JlI
BACKGROUND: In accordance with changes in Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency approved a Five Year
Implementation Plan for the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area on December 13, 1994 (Attachment CI.
The Implementation Plan describes the project area's goals and objectives for the elimination of blight in the
project area as well as programs and expenditures for achieving them, Community Redevelopment law
requires that the Agency hold a mid-term public hearing to review progress made on the implementation
plans for all redevelopment project areas within its jurisdiction in order to hear testimony from all interested
parties and assess the plans' effectiveness, The Agency is requested to hold the requisite public hearing
for the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area this evening.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency hold the public hearing, hear public testimony and staff reports,
and approve the mid.term progress report.
BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable,
DISCUSSION:
The Implementation Plan for the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area (Attachment C), approved on
December 13, 1994, describes the redevelopment project area and its blighted conditions, progress in
eliminating blighting conditions through 1994, specific goals and objectives for future efforts in the project
area, and describes programs and expenditures to address remaining blight. The purpose of the mid-tenn
Public Hearing, as required by Community Redevelopment law, is to review the efforts and progress made
in eliminating blight in the project area over the past two and one half years in terms of the programs and
expenditures cited in the Implementation Plan, and discuss further actions to be undertaken for the duration

of the five year plan which expires December 31, 1999, At that time, the Agency will be requested to
review additional progress and approve a new Implementation Plan for the next five years.
Some of the blighting influences found in the project area and listed in the Five-Year Implementation Plan
are as follows: 1) Inadequate infrastructure; 2) Non.marketable properties; 3) Inadequate community
facilities; 4) Deteriorated structures; 5) Incompatible mixed uses; 6) Uses that create visual blight; and 7)
Areas characterized by insufficient planning,
The programs and projects listed in the Implementation Plan represent action geared toward the elimination
of blighting influences, An update of the progress of these actions is provided below, The results of the
actions will be checked against their effect on the removal of the above-mentioned blighting influences.
Pro~ress made on Imolementation Plan Proiects
1. Complete and adopt Southwest Study
The Economic, land Use, and Zoning Study for the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
conducted by the Rosenow Spavecek Group was completed at the beginning of 1996. However,
the bulk of the analysis and determinations of the study were made during the depth of the
recession in 1993.94; therefore, staff considers that the findings and recommendation of the study
may be outdated. Consequently, an update of the study is necessary given the new conditions of
the economy. The purpose of the study update is to provide appropriate and up-to-date
recommendations for a proactive strategy to promote economic development, job creation and
elimination of blighting influences within the project area,
2. Establish a business retention/expansion loan fund
Staff is currently preparing a gap financing revolving loan fund for city.wide commercial and
industrial small businesses in which Southwest businesses would be eligible to participate. Staff
is proposing to create additional grantlloan programs that would serve as a complement to the loan
fund for industrial/commercial rehabilitation. These programs are geared toward the improvement
of properties and businesses which will contribute to the elimination of blighting influences,
3. Main Street Widening
Currently, the design plans for the widening of Main Street from Industrial Boulevard to Broadway
are BO% complete, So far, half of the private property needed for right-of-way has been acquired,
Street improvements, including undergrounding of utilities, drainage improvements, and reconstruction
of the street are projected to begin by early 199B, The entire project for the area of Main Street
between Industrial and Broadway is expected to be completed by the summer of 199B. This
schedule, however, is predicated on successful acquisition of all right-of-way and issuance of permits
S-~
Page 3. Item 1
Meeting Date 08119/97
from environmental regulatory agencies, Funding for the improvement of this section of Main Street
is being provided by TRANSNET,
Improvement of this section of Main Street will contribute to the removal of blighting influences
attributed to inadequate infrastructure, Improvement of the street will provide better circulation and
street appearance, This will induce additional commercial and industrial development in this area
by motivating owners to improve their properties and expand their businesses,
4. Redevelopment of Agency Properties on Broadway
Significant progress has been made on the redevelopment of Agency properties on Broadway
between K and J Streets. In December of 1995, the Agency sold the property located at the
southeast corner of Broadway and K Street, formerly occupied by Southbay Chevrolet, to Mr. James
Courtney, owner of Courtney Tires. The Agency also processed and approved remodelling plans for
the structures on site and the expansion of the auto. related uses by Mr, Courtney. The property
has been upgraded significantly resulting in the removal of existing blight and the retention of
businesses and employment in the area,
Half of the Agency property located at 760 Broadway (formerly occupied by Fuller Ford) has been
sold and the other half is in escrow to be sold for the development of the Business Homes project.
Currently, the developer is trying to secure all the financing necessary for the construction of the
project. Construction of Phase I of the Business Homes is expected to begin by September 1997,
The property at 753 Broadway (formerly occupied by Fuller Ford Trucks) is currently in escrow to
be sold to Humphrey Mortuary for construction of a two.story, 15,000 sq, ft. building to relocate
the existing mortuary at 855 Broadway, Construction of the building is expected to be completed
by December 1998, at which time relocation of the business from its existing location to the new
building will take place,
Development of these two parcels will provide new improvements, put the properties to better use,
and will assist in removing the potential for blight. It will also encourage other property owners
to improve their properties,
5. Completion of Phase II of the Palomar Trolley Center
Phase I of the Palomar Trolley Center was completed in 1994 and is currently 100% leased, Phase
II of the project, consisting of the eastern 24,000 sq.ft. and several small free.standing pads, was
completed during 1996. All of the space of Phase II, except a 2,400 sq.ft. pad, has been leased.
Phase II is currently occupied by the Old Navy Clothing Store, Blockbuster Video, Radio Shack and
other businesses. Completion of Phase II fulfills the redevelopment of the area along the south side
of Palomar Street between Industrial Boulevard and Broadway, The impact of this redevelopment
~-...3

Meeting Date 08119/97
project was the improvement of this area by developing underdeveloped properties, and the removal
of dilapidated buildings and marginal uses which were blighting influences,
6. Encourage the development of Property Behind the Price/Costco Center
Agency staff have been actively working with the new owner of the 12 ac, parcel located on the
north side of Oxford Street and west of the Price/Costco warehouse. The owner is currently
processing a rezoning of the property from Limited Industrial to a commercial designation, which will
provide the flexibility for the development of the property to its highest and best use as determined
by the market place. During the past twelve months, the developer has been contemplating the
construction of office space for institutional users, Concurrently, he has also considered a housing
development if the office use is not practical. It is expected that, given the potential alternatives
being considered by the owner and the likely increase in economic activity, the property will be
developed within the next year or two,
7. Actively Participate in the Planning of the Otay Valley Regional Park at Its Interface with
the Project Area
City staff have been actively involved with the San Diego city and county staff, as well as the
designated community groups, in the development of the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan.
A Preliminary Concept Plan has been prepared and is in the process of being presented to the Chula
Vista City Council, the San Diego City Council, and the County Board of Supervisors. In the next
few weeks, the public hearing process will begin for the review of this Preliminary Concept Plan.
It is expected that the Preliminary Concept Plan will be presented to the Chula Vista City Council
sometime in October t997,
B. Housing
During the first two and a half years of the citywide five year plan, the Agency has attained 47%
of its housing goal. Eighty-three (83) units of a projected 175 units were assisted using
Redevelopment low and Moderate Income Funds. Of these 83 units, none were located in any of
Chula Vista's five redevelopment project areas. No displacement occurred during this period,
however, 63 units are expected to be displaced in Town Center II during the next two years, These
63 units will be replaced by surplus units Chula Vista has accumulated over the years, In addition,
401 units were assisted by City staff using non-Agency funds.
More details on the progress of meeting the Agency's housing goals are provided in the report
marked as Attachment B, Each of the five redevelopment area plan updates has the same summary
and report, which reflects citywide activity,

Goals and Programs for the Following Two and One Half Years
The following list of projects represents actions identified by staff that, if implemented, will have a direct
effect on the elimination of blighting influences in the project area, The proposed projects will have to be
evaluated during the course of the annual budgetary process. The proposed expenditures will be a function
Redevelopment Agency priorities and actions and the projects will have to compete for funding with other
projects and expenditures, However, their inclusion below puts these projects on a high priority listing,
1. Update and Adoption of Southwest Study.
The study includes the areas along the north and south sides of Main Street as well as the area
along Third Avenue from Main Street to Naples Street (see locator map). The update and adoption
of the Southwest Study will provide recommendations for the South Third Avenue and the Main
Street corridors. The study will include "short- and long-term" redevelopment/economic development
strategies. The current fiscal year budget includes $9,000 approved by the Redevelopment Agency
to cover the costs of updating the study.
Projected Cost: $9.000
2. Redevelopment of Nelson/Sloan Property (Area 2 on Locator Map).
This project consists in encouraging redevelopment of the Nelson/Sloan and Fenton properties located
south of Main Street east of Broadway, Currently, these properties are being used for the
extraction and processing of minerals (i,e, production of cement, gravel and other construction
materials). The owners of this business have been evaluating the relocation of this plant away from
this site. The Southwest Study identified this site as having potential for redevelopment into a
commercial center,
Projected Cost: $200,000
3. Parcel Consolidation and Redevelopment (Area 3 on Locator Map).
Evaluate the feasibility of providing financial participation to facilitate parcel consolidation involving
properties along the north side of Main Street and along South Third Avenue in order to create
marketable properties and increase development potential. Emphasis should be placed on the
encouragement of owner participation,

CONCLUSION:
The first two and one half years of the Implementation Plan have been marked by substantial progress in
eliminating blighting influences and other impediments to development in the project area, including the

completion of the Palomar Trolley Center, the redevelopment of the property at Broadway and K Street, and
the sale of Agency properties for redevelopment. Unfortunately, during this period, southern California was
recovering from a prolonged economic recession which has impeded growth and development in the region.
At this time, it appears that recovery is under way, Because of the availability of large tracts of
developable land at reasonable cost and recent projects completed in the area. Substantial growth and
development is anticipated in the project area over the coming years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated costs associated with each project are indicated above, The costs include staff, consulting
and development-related expenses and may be budgeted, as funds permit, in a single or multiple fiscal years.
It is the intention of staff to complete as many of the projects listed as practical depending upon the
availability of funds, feasibility, priorities and workload, It should be noted that inclusion of a project in the
Implementation Plan does not require the Agency to budget and complete a project, nor preclude the Agency
from undertaking any additional qualified projects.
Total Redevelopment staff and consultant costs for implementation of the projects remaining to be completed
are estimated at $1,009,000. These are very preliminary estimates and are subject to change and
refinement.
For housing in particular, from July 1994 through June 1997, $2,566.451 was spent from the
Redevelopment Moderate and low Income Fund to assist approximately 83 units (plus land acquisition for
the development of another 18 units) in non-redevelopment project areas. The expected expenditure for the
rest of the plan period, July 1997 through December 1999, is approximately $2,8 million for 92 units
remaining from the original 175 units in the 5-year plan,

Housing Implementation Plan Update
January 1, 1995 - June 30, 1997
Agencv Assisted Units
The five year citywide goal was to assist 175 units through rehabilitation and or construction
in Chula Vista using Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Funds, The actual number
of units that received assistance or has received a commitment for assistance from the
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Fund is 83 from January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997,
This includes the completion of 26 scattered site mobile home park rehabilitation grants, 13
scattered site single family housing rehabilitation loans, the sale of two mobile home park
spaces and loan repayments of two mobile home park spaces in Orange Tree Mobile Home
Park and a commitment towards the development of 40 rental units at Cordova Village in
Rancho del Rey, Construction will begin on Cordova Village in August 1997,
Of these 83 units, 39 were rehabilitated and 44 were developed (including the four referenced
mobile home park spaces above), This compares to the 5 year projection of 50 being
rehabilitated and 150 being developed, Of the 150 being developed, it was projected that 50
units would be developed in the redevelopment areas, The actual number of units developed
in the redevelopment areas was zero, The 83 units outside the redevelopment area consisted
of zero units for families with moderate incomes, 32 units for families with low incomes, and
51 units for families with very low incomes, The Agency has exceeded its obligation
identified in 1990 to develop 21 units for families with very low income by an extra 30 units,
No new development has taken place in the redevelopment areas between January 1, 1995 and
June 30, 1997, thus no new obligation has accumulated, The number of units that were
displaced during this period was zero, compared to the projected 65. However, consistent with
the 5 year plan, it is projected that 48 mobilehomes housing families with low incomes and 15
apartments housing families with low incomes will be displaced in Town Center II, These 63
displaced units will be replaced by the surplus of 41 units housing families with low incomes
noted in the 5 year plan (resulting from housing development activities between 1980-1990)
and by 22 units housing families with low incomes from the development of Cordova Village,
Non Agencv Assisted Units
The total non Agency assisted units are 401. Of these 72 were for families with moderate
incomes, 60 were for families with low incomes and 269 were for families with very low
incomes,
300 units in Chula Vista were preserved for families with very low and low incomes between
January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997, These were HUD Section 236 units, Palomar Apartments
S-ifJ- ,
- - ... -
and Oxford Terrace Apartments, which had expiring affordability restrictions, Both were
bought by non-profits using HUD Capital Grant funds, 252 units were for families with very
low incomes and 48 were for families with low incomes,
Another 17 units were developed for very low income families, which included 16 units of
public housing built by the San Diego County, L Street Manor, and one unit for transitional
housing developed by the non profit South Bay Community Services, Plus 12 units were sold
to families with low incomes in the Salt Creek One master planned community at Cabo and
72 units were sold to families with moderate incomes at Sanibelle as part of Rancho del Rey's
affordable housing requirement.
Agencv Assisted and Non Agencv Assisted Units Combined Total
Agency assisted and non Agency assisted units rehabilitated or developed between January 1,
1995 and June 30, 1997 total 484 units, Of these 72 were for families with moderate incomes,

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
SOUTHWEST REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
The Five Year Implementation Plan for the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area has been
prepared to meet the requirements of California Health and Safety Code Section 33490, This
statute requires Agencies to prepare and adopt "implementation plans" every five years that
contain, among other things, the following:
A, Goals and objectives
B. Planned projects and expenditures
C. Explanation of nexus between Agency activities and the elimination of blight
D. Explanation of nexus between Agency activities and meeting State housing requirements
The implementation plan is intended to be a flexible policy document to guide Agency
activities over the next five years (1995 through 1999), and is not intended to represent a
limitation on Agency activities. The programs/projects included in the Implementation Plan
are those priority programs anticipated to be implemented during the next five years, however,
they are not all of the programs/projects necessary to eliminate blight in the project area.
B. Background
The Southwest Redevelopment Project Area is located in the southwestern corner of the City
and comprises approximately 1,050 acres of commercial and industrial properties generally
located along the south Interstate 5 (1-5), Broadway Avenue, south Third Avenue, and Main
Street corridors. The Southwest Project Area ("Project Area") was adopted in November
1990, by City Council Ordinance # 2420 ("Ordinance"). The Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") for
the Project Area is based upon the Preliminary Plan formulated and adopted by the Chula Vista
Planning Commission on May 23, 1990, and by the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency on
June 14, 1990, The Project Area was created in order to 1) eliminate conditions of blight
which negatively impact industrial and commercial development and 2) to implement the
Montgomery Specific Plan ("MSP").
1. Plan Limits
Financial limitations have been established as follows:
a, Annual tax increment revenue limit of $15.0 million adjusted annually pursuant to
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for San Diego County, This annual revenue limit
excludes 1) payments to taxing agencies to alleviate financial burden made by the
Agency pursuant to Section 33401 of the Redevelopment Law and Section 510 of
the Plan, and 2) any funds required by Section 33334.2 of the Redevelopment Law
and Section 534 of this Plan to be deposited by the Agency in a Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund, The current 1994 annual tax increment limit is $16,3 million.
b. Bonded indebtedness limit of $150,0 million, adjusted annually pursuant to the CPI
for San Diego County, that the Agency may have outstanding at anyone time. The
current 1994 bonded indebtedness limit is $163.3 million.

Southwest Redevelopment Project Area Page 2
Five Year Implementation Plan
Time limitations on the effectiveness of the Redevelopment Plan were originally
established as follows:
c. Thirty (30) years, or to 2020, to incur debt,
d. Forty (40) years, or to 2030, for duration of plan.
e. No limitation on the receipt of tax increment revenue.
Subsequent to the adoption of the Plan, mandatory plan authority time limits were established
by the adoption of "AB 1290" [HSC Section 33333,6 (a)] by the California State Legislature.
As a result, the Plan required: 1) an amendment to reduce the time limitation to incur debt
from 30 years to 20 years ("c" above) and 2) an amendment to establish a fifty (50) year
limitation, to 2040, for the receipt of tax incremel'lt revenue ("e': above). These amendments
to the Plan were adopted by City Council ordinance on November 2, 1994.
Eminent domain authority limits were established as follows:
f. Except with the consent of the owner, residential dwelling units shall not be
acquired through the use of eminE¡nt domain when the dwelling units are being used
for such purposes within land use designations or zoning classifications designated
for such purposes under the adopted Specific and General Plans of the City of Chula
Vista, or as hereinafter are amended. .
g. As otherwise may be provided by law, no eminent domain proceeding to acquire
property with the Project shall be commenced after twelve (1 2) years following the
adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting the Plan, This time limitation may
be extended by amendment of the Plan.
2. MontQomerv Specific Plan Goals
The Project Area encompasses a significant portion of the non-residential portion of the
"Montgomery" community which was annexed from the County of San Diego in the
December, 1985. Prior to incorporation, this area had been subject to years of governmental
neglect and lower development standards than nearby properties located within the Chula
Vista city limits. This was primarily due to the practice of the County General Plan to be
administered from a "regional" perspective in lieu of a more local and specific "community"
perspective, Throughout 1988, "parts" of the MSP were adopted by the City Council in order
to help facilitate the transition from San Diego' County authority to the City of Chula vista
authority, Prior to the adoption of the MSP, (and to a much lesser degree after adoption),
implementation of the City's General Plan has primarily consisted of administration of the
City's County Zoning Plan, subdivision ordinances and general development design criteria,
The Project Area was established to, among many other things, implement the MSP. The MSP
was is obviously more detailed than the General Plan, but also included several significant
"Study Areas" which require additional planning in the future: The planning of these "Study
Areas" ("Faivre Street" and "West Fairfield") represent a project goal over the next five years.
By virtue of the interrelated nature of the MSP and the Redevelopment Plan, the proposed
goals, objectives, programs and projects will help further the goals of the MSP.

II. BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
A. Pre-Plan Conditions
As provided in the Ordinance and the MSP, the conditions of blight include but are not limited
to the following:
1. Inadequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, storm water drainage
facilities, and utilities.
2. Subdivision and sale of lots of irregular form and shape. Many of the lots are of an
inadequate size and lack sufficient access thereto or off-street parking therefore to
permit proper usefulness and marketability,
3, lack of adequate community facilities.
4. Deteriorated or dilapidated commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
5. Mixed commercial and residential land-uses which are defective in design and/or
physical character.
6. Visual blight characterized by, among other things, an abundance of outdoor storage
and open yard/compound uses, junk yards and ot.her marginal type businesses.
7, Insufficient or incomplete local planning characterized by several "Special Study"
areas that have not been converted from County to City land-use and zoning
designations.
B. Progress Made to Eliminate Conditions
Since the Project Area has only been in existence since December 1990, it's difficult to
quantify the progress made since that time (4 years) to eliminate blighting influences, This
is not to suggest however, that the Agency has not been active in the first three years of the
project. The following provides a general list of Agency activities since January 1991:
1. Successful completion of Phase I of the "Palomar Trolley Center" commercial
redevelopment project which included the following actions:
a, Execution of an "Expanded Plan Agreement," then "Semi-Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement," and then a "Disposition and Development Agreement".
b, General Plan. Amendment and Rezone for portions of the property to allow for
commercial development.
c. Funded the Environmental Impact Report for the project.
~- - c: - 3

Five Year Implementation Plan
d. Appraised all properties and acquired five properties through eminent domain for
disposition to developer and relocated displacees,
e, Financially participated in excess costs of acquisition and off-site improvements and
protected developer from market slide damages on acquired properties.
The "Trolley Center" represented a significant positive Agency action to eliminate blighting
influences in and around the project site such as: 1) incompatible land-uses, 2) un-marketable
and development impeded properties, 3) inadequate roadway access and 4) under-utilized
marginally productive land.
2. Successful acquisition and relocation of two automobile dealerships, (who were
struggling financially in inferior facilities and destined to leave the City), to new locations
in the Redevelopment Agency assisted Chula Vista Auto Park project in the Otay Valley
Road Redevelopment Project Area.
3, SuccessftJl completion and execution of five (5) property tax sharing agreements with
the following affected taxing districts; 1) County of San Diego, 2) Chula Vista
Elementary School District, 3) Southwestern Community College District, 4) County
Office of Education, and 5) Sweetwater Union High School District,
4, Secured the services, through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, of a
Redevelopment, Planning and Economic Consultan~ team to prepare an Economic
Feasibility, Zoning and Land-Use Study for portions of the Project, The "Study Areas"
include the Main Street and South Third Avenue corridors. The completion and adoption
of the "Southwest Study" represents a project goal for the next five years,
5. Initiation of engineering design work for the "Main Street Widening Project".
6. Participated in the preliminary planning of the Otay Valley Regional Park, a portion of
which is to interface and provide a southern boundary of the Project Area.
C. Existing Blight Conditions
As stated previously, the Plan has only been in existence for four (4) years (since December
1990) and therefore, although some positive actions have been taken by the Agency, the
same types of blighting influences remain in the Project Area.
Specifically, the same issues related to inadequate infrastructure, community facilities, non-
marketable properties, deteriorated buildings, visual and economic blight still readily exist. As
will be presented in Section IV, this Implementation Plan sets forth preliminary programs and
projects that will have a positive effect on reducing the existing blighting influences and
stopping the spread of additional blight in the Project Area. The first program/project listed,
completion of an economic feasibility and zoning study will be the initial vehicle through which
policy decisions will be made with respect to pursuing specific programs and projects.

IV. REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS/PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES - 5 YEAR PLAN
A. Redevelopment Expenditures
The preliminary list of Redevelopment programs and projects provided below represent a list
of staff identified actions that, if implemented, will have a direct positive effect on the
elimination of blighting influences in the Project. Inasmuch as the proposed programs need
$- ~-,
- .0 0.. -
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area Page 7
Five Year Implementation Plan
to be evaluated during the course of annual budgetary approval actions, the proposed
expenditures have not been fully determined, and in most instances, will be a function of
available redevelopment funding. The annual budget approval process will be the framework
within which staff proposed programs will be evaluated and "compete" for funding approval
by the Redevelopment Agency Board.
Therefore, the costs provided below are preliminary estimates of general Agency "operations"
costs such as staff time, outside consultants and attorneys, and small expenditures such as
planning studies, financial feasibility studies, and environmental assessments etc. The cost
estimates do not include any funds that may be used to "assist" or "participate" financially
in the project, or funds that may be used to initiate the proposed "loan" programs. The
funding for the "Main Street Widening" project (#4) is to be used from TRANSNET funds. The
costs described are based upon anticipated tax increment cash flow over the next five years
net of debt service and administative costs,
B. Redevelopment Programs and Projects
1. Complete and adopt the "Economic, land Use and Zoning Study", and the
recommendations thereof, for the South Third Avenue and Main Street corridors.
Adoption of the study is to include a "short-term" and "long-term" economic

VI; GOALS AND OBJECTIVES - HOUSING
.
California's Community Redevelopment law requires that not less than 20% of all tax
increment generated by the Project shall be used for. the purpose of increasing or improving
the community's supply of very low, low, and moderate income housing. The law requires
that at least 15% of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed with housing assistance
by entities other than the Agency in a Redevelopment Project Area be affordable to low and
moderate income households, of which 40% must be for, and occupied by, very low income
households. Additionally, affordable dwelling units shall remain affordable for the longest
feasible time (usually 55 years) but no less than the period of land use controls established
in the Project plan (40 years).
Attached as Exhibit 1, is the required Housing Implementation Plan which addresses the key
requirements of "AB 1290". The Housing Plan is comprehensive aAd incorporates relative
housing programs and expenditures for each of the Agency's five project areas, As the
Housing Plan indicates, that the City's housing programs and expenditures are comprehensive,
aggressive and directly increase and improve the supply of low- and moderate-income housing
units. .
A. Housing Goals and Objectives .
The Plan identifies the following housing goals, among others:
1. Encouragement of cooperation and participation of residents in the revitalization of the
Project. .
2. Establishment of a program which promotes the rehabilitation of the existing housing
stock.
3, Provision of low and moderate income housing as required to satisfy the needs of
various age and income groups of the community, maximizing the opportunity for
individual choice, and meeting the requirements of State law,
4, Encouragement of the establishment and maintenance of "balanced neighborhoods"
characterized by a planned diversity in building sites, density, housing, and land use.
Additionally, the Plan identifies the following housing actions:
5. The rehabilitation, development or construction of affordable housing in compliance with
State law.
6, Providing the opportunity for participation by owners and tenants and the extension of
preferences to occupants desiring to remain or relocate within the redeveloped Project,
7. Providing relocation assistance to displaced residential and non-residential occupants.
S-C -,
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area Page 11
Five Year Implementation Plan
8. Assisting in providing financing for the construction of residential uni'ts to increase the
residential property tax valuation of the Project,
9. Provide for the retention of controls, and the establishment of restrictions or covenants
running with the land, so that property will continue to be used in accordance with the
Plan,
10. The acquisition and disposition of property for the purpose of providing relocation
housing, as may be required, to implement the objectives of the Plan.
B, Housing Activities
As provided in more detail in Exhibit 1, it's estimated that no (zero) housing units will be
displaced over the next five years as part of redevelopment activities in the Project Area.
Additionally, no housing development is currently planned to be developed over the same
period, Nevertheless, should the need arise, replacement housing sites may be located in the
"Woodlawn Park", "Broderick's Otay Acres", and southwestern "Dorothy Street"
communities. Finally, it is estimated that an annual production of approximately 80 housing
units are estimated to be developed and/or "assisted" in some manner throughout the City
over the next five years, Therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that some portion (although
undetermined) of the total production of 400 units will be located within the Project Area,
VII. CONCLUSION
Adoption of this Five Year Implementation Plan shall not constitute an approval of any specific
program, project or expenditure and does not change the need to obtain any required approval
of a specific program, project or expenditure from the Agency or community. The projects
described in the Implementation Plan are examples of undertakings which will meet the goals
and objectives of the Redevelopment Project. Other projects which meet program
requirements may also be pursued by the Agency,
This is thè initial Implementation Plan for the Southwest Redevelopment Project, This plan
will be reviewed by the Agency at least once within the five year term of the Plan, and will
take place at a Public Hearing no earlier than two years and no later than three years after
adoption of this initial Implementation Plan, The Agency will hold a requisite Public Hearing
and adopt a new Implementation Plan every five years from the date of adoption of the Initial
Plan. The Implementation Plan may be amended by the Agency at any time following a
noticed Public Hearing.

CITY OF CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
I. INTRODUCTION
This housing implementation plan for the Bayfronti Town Centre I, Town Centre II, Southwest, and
Otay Valley Road Project Areas has been prepared by Agency staff for the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency (Agency). Pursuant to Section 33413(d), because the Bayfront
Redevelopment Project Area was adopted prior to January 1, 1976, the inclusionary housing
provisions of Section 33413 do not apply to the Bayfront' Redevelopment Project. The
implementation plan is being prepared and adopted in accordance with the recently enacted AB
1 290 legislatjon and addresses the housing production requirements. The key requirements of the
legislation that this section of the implementation plan addresses are:
. A description of the Agency's specific housing related goals and objectives for the project
area, including specific programs, possible projects, and expenditures for the next five years.
. A discussion of the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund including the amount in the Housing
Trust Fund, amounts to be deposited in the next five years and anticipated expenditures.
. Proposed locations suitable for replacement housing units in instances where plan activities
trigger the need for such units.
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will implement the
low and moderate income housing set-aside and housing production requirements of the law,
including an annual housing program.
. A description .of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will increase and
improve the inventory of low and moderate income housing units.
II. HOUSING PLAN - CHAS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
The City of Chula Vista has adopted a Comprehensive Housing Affordabil.ity Strategy (CHAS) per
the requirements for communities receiving funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The CHAS, which was adopted for the period January 1, 1994 to December
30, 1999, includes:
. Identification of the existing and projected housing needs and establishment of goals, policies,
objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing to meet
the needs of all economic sectors of the community.
. Description of the resources (human and financial), markets and strategies intended to meet the
housing needs of the community.
. Investment decision-making guides for elected officials, program administrators, community
organizations and banks, housing developers and concerned citizens.
.s - C -/(.,
Attachment C . ..." Page 1
- . ... -
. Long-term (Five Year Strategy) and short term (Annual Plan) guides which describe the general
priorities, plans and allocation of federal, state, local and private resources and funds,
The CHAS provides the City with estimates of current and future housing needs, Specific activities
intended to provide assistance to the community were identified in the CHAS including goals,
policies and program objectives to address the current and future need.
The policies, goals and objectives for both the City's Five Year Strategy and One Year Action Plans
are predicated on both the CHAS and the Chula Vista Housing Element. The Housing Element,
adopted March 3, 1992 as part of the General Plan, contains an in-depth evaluation of the
demographic, economical and social characteristics of the City along with projections and trends
impacting housing and community needs. The broad goals established as part of the Housing
Element are:
. To promote and ensure the provision of adequate housing for all persons regardless of income,
age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background or other arbitrary factors,
. To promote and ensure the provision of housing selection by location, type, price and tenure,
. To promote and ensure the development of a balanced residential environment with access to
employment opportunities, community facilities and adequate services,
Taking these goals and Chula Vista's specific needs into consideration, the Housing Element
describes all of the housing-related programs being implemented in Chula Vista, including:
residential rehabilitation activities, new construction of affordable units, housing assistance
programs for the aged and disabled, assistance programs for owners and renters, and fair housing
and affirmative marketing.
The City of Chula Vista,in cooperation with the City's Housing Authority and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, implements and administers the various housing programs developed
through the CHAS and the Housing Element to address housing needs. .
Household Income levels
The CHAS identifies categories of community members needing assistance and establishes priorities
based upon the findings compiled during the data gathering phase of the strategy development. The
specific income groups being targeted are very low income, low income and moderate income
households, which are defined by using the San Diego County median income level as the basis,
The County median is determined annually, and is adjusted for household size. Based on the 1994
median income of $45,400 for San Diego County (assuming a 4 person household), the income
groups are as follows:
Income level Percent of Median 4 Person HH Income
Very low 0% to 50% $0-$22,700
Low 51 % to 80% $22,700-$36,320
Moderate 81%to120% $36,321-$54,480
Specific activities intended to provide housing assistance to target income groups were identified
in the CHAS and given priority rankings.
.s - c- 17
Attachment C Page 2

Housinq Needs
The unmet housing need in Chula Vista is quantified in the Housing Element based on the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
These numbers indicate the following housing need by income group as of 1991:
Income level Housinq Needs as of 1991 Housinq needs as of 1994
Very low 1232 1125
low 628 610
Moderate 131 131
However, these calculations don't take into consideration the 107 very low income and 18 low
income housing units that have been developed through financial assistance of the Agency. Taking
these figures into account, the current housing needs for the five year plan are as shown above to
the right.
III. HOUSING FUND (TWENTY PERCENT SET ASIDE) REQUIREMENTS
As part of the Agency's efforts to meet its unmet housing needs, tax increment housing set aside
funds have been and will continue to be used to create affordable housing' units. The estimated
amount of tax increment housing set-aside available for fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99 for
the combined project areas is $5,964,051. Table 1 on page following estimates the yearly tax
increment by project area.
The total revenues to be deposited over the five year period are estimated at $5,9 million. The
beginning balance in the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994 was
$1,704,436. Thus, $7,668,358 in funds are projected to be available over the five year projection
period.
Allocation of Funds to Proqrams
The Allocation of these funds are presented in Table 2. Based On existing programs and pro forma
cost projections for new and rehabilitated units, up to 175 additional units could be created over
the five year period. Funds are allocated among newly constructed and rehabilitated units as
follows: ,150 new housing units; and 25 rehabilitated housing units.
IV. EXCESS/SURPLUS
As defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.12(g)(1), an agency has an
excess/surplus at any time that unexpended and unencumbered monies in the Agency's low and
moderate income housing fund exceed the greater of $1,0 million or the total funds deposited in
the low and moderate income housing fund over the preceding four fiscal years.
For the purposes of complying with the current mandate, the Agency must determine whether an
excess/surplus existed as of July 1, 1994. This is determined by comparing the unencumbered
balance of the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994, to the sum of the
property tax increment housing set-aside deposited into the fund between fiscal years 1989-90
through 1992-93. If the amount of unencumbered funds in the account exceeds the sum of the
deposits, the Agency has an excess/surplus.

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency deposited $2,792,234.00 to the low and moderate
income housing fund between fiscal years 1989-90 and 1992-93. Comparatively, the
unencumbered balance of the low and moderate income housing fund was $1,704,436.00
as of July 1, 1994. Thus, no excess/surplus currently exists.
The annual plans included in this five year implementation plan call for the entire available
balance in the low and moderate income housing fund to be expended annually. Thus, it is
not anticipated that the Agency will experience excess/surplus at any time point during the
five year planning period.
3 These units include housing units to receive minor rehabilitation through Agency assistance. The
majority of the units are mobilehomes.
'These units will be discussed later in the report, They are units the Agency plans to displace in the next
five years due to redevelopment projects.

V, REPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Section 33413(a) of the California Health and Safety Code requires that whenever units
housing persons of low and moderate incomes are destroyed or removed from the low and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, the Agency shall within
four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct for rental or sale,
to persons of low and moderate income, an equal number of replacement units, At least 75 %
of these replacement units must be made available at an affordable housing cost for the same
income level as the household that was displaced, .
The Agency incurred an obligation to replace 157 units that were demolished as a result of
redevelopment activities in the várious project areas, This figure excludes units displaced in
the Agency's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974 and
is not subject to the replacement housing requirement, Of the 157 units displaced, 104 were
very low income trailers (one bedroom), 27 units were low income (one bedroom) and 26
units were low income (two bedroom).
The replacement units must meet the following minimum income standards:
Unit Tvoe Income level Number of units
1 bedroom very low 78
1 bedroom low 20
1 bedroom low or moderate ~
.- Total 131
Unit Tvoe Income level Number of units
2 bedroom very low 0
2 bedroom low 20
2 bedroom low or moderate -.£
Total 26
The above units were replaced with the following 184 very low and low income housing units
built with Agency participation on a Citywide basis. These projects are the following:
Project Number of units bv bedroom
Town Centre Manor 59 (58 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Dorothy Street 22 (22 three bedrooms)
Silvercrest 75 (74 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Civic Center Barrio 28 (6 one bedroom, 13 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom)
The projects listed above contain 166 very low income and 18 low income housing units,
These units fulfill the Agency's replacement obligation for the 157 housing units displaced in
the past. Moreover, a surplus of very low and low income housing units was constructed
beyond the requirement that 75 % of the units removed after September 1, 1989 be replaced
with units having an equal or greater number of bedrooms and be available at an affordable
housing cost for the same income level as the household that was displaced. .

Proiected Housinq Disolacement and Develooment Activities
In the next five years, there exists the possibility of 65 additional units being displaced due
to potential redevelopment activity as follows:
Proiect Area Number of Units displaced
Town Centre I None
Town Centre II 48 low income mobilehomes & 15 low income apts
Southwest None
Otay Valley Road 2 low income sinole familv homes
TOTAL 65 low income units
The above 65 housing units add an additional development obligation of 65 low income
housing units by the Agency. '
Reolacement Sites
The following is a breakdown of possible housing replacement sites and housing developments
in project areas for the next five years.
Town Centre I
. The Windmill Farms site is zoned Central Commercial/R-3 High Density Residential.
2.65 acres. No housing development is expected on this site in the next five years.
Town Centre II
. The Sweetwater Union High School District headquarter is planned to be relocated
within the next 3-4 years. The current site is in zoned R1-P, low density housing,
comprising 7.93 acres and can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning. This
housing should be affordable to moderate income persons and could be developed in
the next five years.
Southwest
. Possible sites for future housing development may be located within the Woodlawn
Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and southwestern Dorothy Street communities.
However, no housing development is planned at this time to be developed in the next
five years.
Otav Valle v Road
. All land in project area is zoned for light industrial development, There are no suitable
housing sites within the project area.
"The Agency is not currently planning any activity which would result in
the loss of these units.

Affordable Housina Production (lnclusionarv) Reauirements
Section 33413(b) (1)'and (2) of the California Health and Safety Code imposes inclusionary
requirements on all housing units built in Redevelopment Project Areas, whether developed
by the Agency or by private entities, For the project areas adopted on or after January 1,
1976, the following restrictions apply:
1, At least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by a
redevelopment agency must be affordable to persons of low and moderate income, Not
less than 50% of those units (15% of the total) must be available to very low income
persons.
2, For units developed by other public or private entities, at least 15 % of the units must be
affordable to low and moderate income persons; not less than 40% of these units must
be made affordable to very low income persons.
Affordable units created outside of the project areas may be counted toward this requirement
on a 2 for 1 basis~ In other words, if the Agency develops two affordable housing units
outside of a project area, only one of the two housing units can be counted toward overall
Agency production.
Within the City of Chula Vista, all of the project areas are subject to the housing production
requirements excluding the Bayfront Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974. These
requirements must be met every ten years in the aggregate, but are planned for on a five year
basis.
Past Housino Develooment Activities
A total of 344 housing units have been built in all the project areas by entities other than the,
Agency generating an inclusionary housing requirement for 21 very low income units and 31 .-
low or moderate income units. The breakdown of the 344 housing units by project area is
as fallows:
Total 1 5 % of Required Completed Required Completed
Project Area Units Total low/Mod low/Mod Very low Verv low

Between 1980 and 1990, the Agency provided financial assistance to 7210w and moderate
income units and no very law income units. Thus, at present the Agency has a surplus of 41
law and moderate income units and an obligation for the development of 21 very low income
units.

Aoencv Assisted Housino for Next Five Years
For all the redevelopment areas in the City, it is estimated that 18 moderate income units of
housing should be developed in next five years, This project was referred to above in the
Town Centre II replacement site selection, These units have the following affect to the
Agency's current deficit housing situation in Town Centre II:
Low/Mod Income Verv Low Income
Existing Deficit in Town Centre II 10 6
Impact of TCII Housing (18 units'): -2 --1
New Deficit in Town Centre II 12 7
As shown below, the 18 moderate income units when construc~ed in the next five years will
create an additional surplus of 1 6 low and moderate income units for the Agency and an
obligation for the development of one additional very low income unit,

moderate income and that 40% of the low/mod units must be affordable to very low income.
In this case, 18 X 15% = 3 low/mod units. (3 X 60% = 2 low/mod units) (3 X 40% = 1

VI. LINKAGE OF HOUSING SET ASIDE FUND EXPENDITURES WITH NEED
The City of Chula Vista, through the development of CHAS and Housing Element of the
General Plan, has determined that there is a need to provide and encourage the development
of very low, low and moderate income housing throughout major portions of the City. The
planned use of the Housing Funds in the Project Areas will be undertaken in accordance with
" these policy documents, and will continue to be expended to fulfill these established goals and
objectives. The use of these funds will directly increase and improve the supply of affordable
housing within the City of Chula Vista,

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On August 7, 1997, the Town Centre Project Area
Committee reviewed staff's mid.term progress report and proposed amendment to the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Implementation Plan. The Committee voted 4-0 to recommend that the Redevelopment
Agency: 1) accept the mid-term progress report on the Town Centre I Redevelopment Implementation Plan;
and 2) approve the proposed amendment to the Implementation Plan,
DISCUSSION:
The Implementation Plan for the Town Centre I Project Area (Attachment C), approved on December 13,
1997, describes the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area, blighted conditions present, elimination of
blight through 1994, specific goals and objectives for future efforts in the Project Area, and describes
programs and expenditures to address remaining blight.
The purpose of the mid-term public hearing, as required by the Community Redevelopment Law, is to review
the efforts and progress made in eliminating blight in the Project Area over the past two and one half years
in terms of programs and expenditures cited in the Implementation Plan. It also discusses further actions
to be undertaken for the duration of the five-year plan which expires on December 31, 1999. At that time,
the Agency will be requested to review additional progress and approve a new Implementation Plan for an
additional five years,
At the time of approval of the Redevelopment Plan, blighted conditions included the mixed character and
under-utilization of land uses, prevalence of small lots and obsolete structures. At the time of approval of
the Implementation Plan, the Agency noted the urgency of hiring a Town Manager and establishing a clear
direction for the revitalization of Town Centre,
After consideration of the progress made in the Town Centre I, it is requested that the Agency consider
amending the Town Centre I Implementation Plan to add four projects to further the efforts to eliminate
blight and strengthen the economic vitality of the Town Centre,
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The following activities have been completed within the Town Centre I since the adoption of the five year
implementation plan for the Project Area,
1. An undersized waterline in Landis Avenue north of F Street was upgraded to accommodate future
commercial development.
2, The Redevelopment Agency consolidated and conveyed 2,4 acres of Agency-owned property located
at the northwest corner of Third and Alvarado Avenues to the Sweetwater Union High School
District for redevelopment.

Meeting Date 08119/97
3, Two new commercial buildings are under construction within the Downtown and the renovation of
many of the public facilities located in Memorial Park have been completed.
4. Agency staff has assisted the Town Centre's Downtown Business Association (DBA) in organizing
the California Main Street Program Dperating Committees and is currently assisting the DBA in
further developing the Main Street program concept of managing the commercial downtown area
to strengthen the economic viability of the Town Centre I.
The DBA hired and currently pays for a part.time Downtown Manager and has established four main
street operational committees. The committees consist of DBA members and are assisted by City
staff, The DBA hired and pays for a manager to operate an expanded, weekly Farmers Market and
Crafts Faire, Special project committees have been established for other major promotional events
such as the annual lemon Festival and an International Film Festival. These revitalized and new
promotional events will contribute toward attracting an expanded customer base to the Downtown.
5, The City Council/Redevelopment Agency held public workshop on the Town Centre I. As a result,
the DBA (in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Southwestern College SBA Center)
sponsored a consultant facilitated roundtable series to determine strengths and weaknesses and
perceptions of Downtown, and to develop a vision for the Project Area,
In addition, an educational workshop for Downtown merchants was held and a series of individual
business evaluations were conducted, These activities have the potential to strengthen the
public/private partnership between City/Agency, local business groups, and the DBA,
The completed activities implement specific goals and objectives stated within the Implementation Plan and
work toward eliminating identified blight within the Project Area,
6. Housing
During the first two and a half years of this citywide five year plan, the Agency has attained 47% of its
housing goal, Eighty-three (83) units of a projected 175 units were assisted using Redevelopment low and
Moderate Income Funds. Df these 83 units, none were located in any of Chula Vista's five redevelopment
project areas, No displacement occurred during this period, however, 63 units are expected to be displaced
in Town Center II during the next couple of years, These 63 units will be replaced by surplus units Chula
Vista has accumulated over the years. In addition, 401 units were assisted by City staff using non-Agency
funds.
More details on the progress of meeting the Agency's housing goals are provided in the report marked
Attachment B, Each of the five redevelopment area plan updates has the same summary and report, which
reflects citywide activity.

GOALS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE REMAINING TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS
The Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area will expire at the end
of 1999, For the remaining period covered by the Implementation Plan, staff intends to implement the
projects outlined below, In addition, other activities and projects which will implement the goals and
objectives of the Plan also may be completed throughout the duration of the Plan,
1. Redevelopment of Third/Alvarado Site (Area 1 on locator Map)
Staff will continue to focus on the redevelopment of the 2.4 acre site recently conveyed to the Sweetwater
Union High School District. The District is exploring alternatives to finance the development of their new
headquarters on this site which will allow them to relocate from their current inadequate facilities on Fifth
Avenue (in the Town Centre II Project Area).
Staff costs are estimated at $50,000 over the next 2-112 years, Additional funding may be necessary to
participate in infrastructure improvements.
2. Redevelopment of Northwest Corner of Third and "H" Street (Area 2 on locator Map)
Staff will continue to work towards the consolidation of small parcels and coordinated redevelopment of
this prominent corner to its highest and best use, The Agency currently owns several small parcels in this
area. However, redevelopment will require further acquisitions and/or the participation of property owners
in order to consolidate parcels for a significant project.
Staff costs are estimated at $75,000 for this project.
3. Downtown Business Association Promotions and Marketing
Agency staff will continue to work with the local merchant's association (DBA) in implementing the Main
Street Program concept of managing the commercial downtown area to strengthen and support the vitality
of the area. The DBA will continue to organize and manage promotional events, define strategies and
direction for further revitalization efforts, and provide educational resources to assist local businesses.
Staff time, consultants fees and promotional assistance over the coming 2-1/2 years are estimated at
$60,ODO.
4. Capital Improvements
As public improvements are identified and become necessary to implement the Redevelopment Plan's goals
and objectives, they will be proposed with cost estimates, These projects may include directional signage,
landscaping, streets cape and lighting improvements.
Staff expenses for this continuous project are estimated at $30,000,

Meeting Date 08/19197
5, Public Parking Facilities
This project includes an upgrade of public parking lots by adding improved night lighting. In addition, an
analysis of the Parking ~istrict, meters and enforcement will be conducted, Alternatives to resolve current
parking issues will be presented to the DBA and other groups for review and recommendations, and to the
Agency for final determination.
The City will institute a courtesy parking program on a temporary basis within the downtown parking
district in order to create a more customer friendly atmosphere, A survey and financial analysis of the
program will be conducted and submitted to the Council/Agency in several months for review.
Staff costs associated with upgrading the public parking lots are estimated at $150,000, Staff costs
associated with the Courtesy Parking Program are estimated at $200,000.
ADDITIONAL PROJECTS/AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
In accordance with Section 33490 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, Implementation Plans
may be amended at any time by the Agency following a property noticed public hearing. Staff recommends
that the Agency consider amendment of the Town Centre I Implementation Plan to add the project identified
below, The proposed amendment was included in the notification and public hearing held this evening.
Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan
Staff will process an amendment to the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan, The proposed amendment to
the Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan would encompass the following:
8 Establish a new 12-year time period within which the Agency may commence eminent domain
activities within the Project Area,
8 Extend by approximately 2-1{2 years, the time frame within which the Agency may incur
indebtedness on behalf of the Project from July 6, 2001 to January 1, 2004,
8 Extend the effectiveness of the Redevelopment Plan from July 6, 2001 to July 6, 2016,
8 Extend the Agency's time frame to collect tax increment revenue from July 6, 2011 to July 6,
2026, and
8 As necessary, modify the tax increment revenue and bonded debt financial limit and update other
provisions of the Redevelopment Plan.
This activity will provide the tools to assist in the elimination of blighting influences and help attract new
development to the area. Estimated cost for this activity is $80,000 in consultant costs and $40,000 in
staff costs when combined with the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan Amendment.

Meeting Date 08119/97
Marketing Analysis/Cluster Recruitment
By the early 1990's the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project reached a development plateau and the
business environment has been fairly stable since that time. To prevent a downward trend and to renew
the vitality of the downtown, it is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency retain a retail recruitment
consultant to prepare a marketing trend analysis and to implement a cluster recruitment program for the
area.
Staff time and consultant services are estimated at $80,000 for the next 2-112 years.
leader Building Redevelopment (Area 3 on locator Map)
The leader Building located at 221 Third Avenue has been vacant for a number of years. The owner of
the property also owns an adjacent, vacant building and parking lot. The owner has indicated that he may
be interested in redevelopment of the properties and staff is working with the owner to obtain letters of
interest from potential developers, It is estimated that approximately $50,000 is needed to bring the leader
Building up to code and about $150,000 will be needed to upgrade the building for market rate leasing or
sale.
Staff time and development incentives is estimated at $75,000 for the next 2-1/2 years,
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated costs associated with each project are indicated above. The costs include
staff, consulting and development related expenses and may be budgeted, as funds permit, in a single or
multiple fiscal years. It is the intention of staff to complete as many of the projects listed as practical
depending upon the availability of funds, feasibility, priorities and workload. It should be noted that inclusion
of a project in the Implementation Plan does not require the Agency to budget and complete a project, nor
preclude the Agency from undertaking any additional qualified projects.
Total Redevelopment staff costs for implementation of projects remaining to be completed are estimated at
$720,000 over the next 2-112 years, These are very preliminary estimates and subject to change and
refinement.
For housing in particular, from July 1994 through June 1997, $2,566,451 was spent from the
Redevelopment Moderate and low Income Fund to assist approximately 83 units (plus land acquisition for
the development of another 18 units) in non-redevelopment project areas. The expected expenditure for the
rest of the plan period, July 1997 through December 1999, is approximately $2.8 million for 92 units
remaining from the original 175 units in the 5-year plan.

January 1, 1995 - June 30, 1997
Agencv Assisted Units
The five year citywide goal was to assist 175 units through rehabilitation and or construction
in Chula Vista using Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Funds. The actual number
of units that received assistance or has received a commitment for assistance from the
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Fund is 83 from January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997,
This includes the completion of 26 scattered site mobile home park rehabilitation grants, 13
scattered site single family housing rehabilitation loans, the sale of two mobile home park
spaces and loan repayments of two mobile home park spaces in Orange Tree Mobile Home
Park and a commitment towards the development of 40 rental units at Cordova Village in
Rancho del Rey, Construction will begin on Cordova Village in August 1997,
Of these 83 units, 39 were rehabilitated and 44 were developed (including the four referenced
mobile home park spaces above), This compares to the 5 year projection of 50 being
rehabilitated and 150 being developed, Of the 150 being developed, it was projected that 50
units would be developed in the redevelopment areas, The actual number of units developed
in the redevelopment areas was zero, The 83 units outside the redevelopment area consisted
of zero units for families with moderate incomes, 32 units for families with low incomes, and
51 units for families with very low incomes, The Agency has exceeded its obligation
identified in 1990 to develop 21 units for families with very low income by an extra 30 units,
No new development has taken place in the redevelopment areas between January I, 1995 and
June 30, 1997, thus no new obligation has accumulated, The number of units that were
displaced during this period was zero, compared to the projected 65, However, consistent with
the 5 year plan, it is projected that 48 mobilehomes housing families with low incomes and 15
apartments housing families with low incomes will be displaced in Town Center II. These 63
displaced units will be replaced by the surplus of 41 units housing families with low incomes
noted in the 5 year plan (resulting from housing development activities between 1980-1990)
and by 22 units housing families with low incomes from the development of Cordova Village.
Non Agencv Assisted Units
The total non Agency assisted units are 401. Of these 72 were for families with moderate
incomes, 60 were for families with low incomes and 269 were for families with very low
incomes,
300 units in Chula Vista were preserved for families with very low and low incomes between
January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997, These were HUD Section 236 units, Palomar Apartments
, -!3 - (
and Oxford Terrace Apartments, which had expiring affordability restrictions, Both were
bought by non-profits using HOD Capital Grant funds, 252 units were for families with very
low incomes and 48 were for families with low incomes,
Another 17 units were developed for very low income families, which included 16 units of
public housing built by the San Diego County, L Street Manor, and one unit for transitional
housing developed by the non profit South Bay Community Services, Plus 12 units were sold
to families with low incomes in the Salt Creek One master planned community at Cabo and
72 units were sold to families with moderate incomes at Sanibelle as part of Rancho del Rey's
affordable housing requirement.
Agencv Assisted and Non Agencv Assisted Units Combined Total
Agency assisted and non Agency assisted units rehabilitated or developed between January I,
1995 and June 30,1997 total 484 units, Of these 72 were for families with moderate incomes,
92 were for families with low incomes and 320 were for families with very low incomes,

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ATTACHMENT C
(Health & Safety Code Section 33490)
TOWN CENTRE I REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
The Five year Implementation Plan for the Town Centre Redevelopment Project is adopted to
meet the requirements of Section 33490 of the Health and Safety Code, The plan is a flexible
policy document and not a limitation on the Agency activities in this project area over the
coming five years,
B. Background
The redevelopment project area was formed in 1976 in order to eliminate conditions of blight
which were impacting the economic and physical viability of the area, The Town Centre
Redevelopment Project Area encompasses 138.54 acres and is Chula Vista's historic
downtown, Third Avenue is the Project Area's central spine, E Street bounds the site in the
north and I Street is the Project's southern boundary, The east-west boundaries vary,
extending to Fourth Avenue at its farthest point west and to Del Mar Avenue at its farthest
point east,
The Town Centre is urbanized and developed with a mixture of public and private land uses
including the San Diego South County Superior and Municipal Court Complex, Norman Park
Senior Center, and Memorial Park as well as a variety of commercjal offices, retail and service
commercial uses, and residential units.
The Redevelopment Plan has a duration of 25 years, until July 2001, (It is anticipated that,
in 1995, the City Council will consider a Redevelopment Plan Amendment to extend the
Project by 15 years to the year 2016,) Financial limitations have been established for the
project area as follows: The aggregate amount of tax revenues which may be divided and
allocated to the Redevelopment Plan for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project shall be
limited to the amount which would be required in any fiscal year to pay the principal and
interest coming due in such fiscal year on loans, advances or indebtedness issued by the
Agency in the aggregate principal amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000,00), the
total actual amount of which principal and interest is $84,000,000,00 (Ordinance No, 2585),
For the purpose of clarification, the $20,000,000 amount represents the maximum total
principal and interest indebtedness that can be outstanding at anyone time, Further, the
$84,000,000 amount represents the total tax increment that can be collected, but its use is
not limited to debt service on bonded indebtedness; those funds can be used for such other
costs as reasonable operating expenses and affordable housing set-aside obligations,
The implementation plan is intended to be a flexible policy document to guide Agency
activities over the next five years (1995 through 1999), and is not intended to represent a
limitation on Agency activities, The programs/projects included in the Implementation Plan
are those priority programs anticipated to be implemented during the next five years, however,
they are not all of the programs/projects necessary to eliminate blight in the project area,

The Town Centre Redevelopment Project Area boundaries are described on the attached map
(Exhibit A),
II. Bliahtina Conditions
A. Pre-Plan Conditions
The Redevelopment Plan identifies the following blighting conditions in the project area;
1, The under-utilization and mixed character of land in and adjacent to the project area;
2, The prevalence of small lots which are inadequate for large scale development and
restrict the expansion of exjsting and compatible uses;
3, The design limitations in the basic layout and platting, the clutter of utility lines and
signs, and an inadequate traffic circulation system;
4, The obsolescence, structural inadequacy, lack of architectural unity, and deterioration
of buildings within the area;
5, The general decline and shifting nature of commercial activity within the area;
6, The inadequate governmental revenue generation (property and sales tax) and an
increasing need for public services within the area;
B. Pr?gress in Eliminating Blighting Conditions
Since the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan in 1976, the Redevelopment Agency has
worked to eliminate certain of these conditions through the following efforts:
. Since the inception of the Town Centre I Project, over $100 million of combined private
and public development dollars have been invested within the Town Centre I Project
Area and have contributed toward the area's economic growth and physical
improvement,
. The Redevelopment Agency has participated in the following major new development
projects that have been completed in the Town Centre I area over the past fifteen years,
(Participation includes certificates of participation, acquisition and consolidation of
properties, financial assistance, expeditious development plan processing etc,):
. The Park Plaza consisting of 59,000 sq, ft, commercial center, 98 residential
condominiums and 94 rental apartments, a six-plex movie theater, three
freestanding restaurants, and a freestanding office building,
. The South County Administration Center which houses Municipal and Superior
courts and associated county offices that serve the South Bay,
. Sharp Rees-Stealy medical building,

. VariQus small to medium remodeling and new construction projects completed by
the private sector throughout the project area,
. Acquisition of 2.4 acres of property at Third Avenue and Alvarado Street and ,5
acres of property at H Street and Third Avenue,
C, Existing Blighting Conditions
Despite the Redevelopment Agency's efforts, certain blighting conditions remain as listed
below:
. Obsolete and substandard commercial buildings located within the project area,
. Inadequate public parking facilities,
. Undersized waterlines in areas transitioning from low density residential to commercial
use,
. Small parcel/dysfunctional lot configuration with multi-ownerships hindering
consolidation for effective development,
. Commercial rental and lease rates an average of 20% to 25% below Citywide rates,
. The average commercial parcel is assessed at a ratio of 35% land to 65% improvements
demonstrating a somewhat underdeveloped commercial density.
III. SPECIFIC GOAL AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT AREA
To further eliminate blighting conditions described above, .the following goal and objectives
have been established in the Redevelopmènt Plan:

IV, PROGRAMS. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES PROPOSED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
Major programs proposed over the next five years and estimated total expenditures are
described below,
Specific projects may be listed under each program, These serve as examples of projects
which may be undertaken by the Agency, However, other projects which meet the program
requirements may also be pursued, The costs described are based upon anticipated tax
increment cash flow over the next five years net of debt service and administrative costs,
1. Redevelopment of Third/Alvarado Site
Focus on the redevelopment of 2.4 acres of Redevelopment Agency owned property
located at the northeast corner of Third Avenue and Alvarado Street.
The Agency purchased several small lots which were underdeveloped with limited
mixed uses, These lots are currently vacant and have been consolidated to form a
larger parcel which is available for higher intensity commercial development, This
action is anticipated to create employment opportunities in the Downtown, to
provide a major customer base for vicinity merchants and service providers, and to
increase property tax revenues and to create a catalyst in upgrading local
rental/lease rates,
Staff and consultant costs are estimated at $88,000 over the next five years, An
additional amount may be necessary to participate in public infrastructure
improvements, studies, and environmental review (estimated $125,000,00),
2. Vicinity of H Street/Third Avenue
Consolidation of small parcels and coordination of the redevelopment of under-
utilized properties in the vicinity of the South County Municipal and Superior Court
Complex.
The Agency currently owns approximately,5 acres (4 small lots) of property located
at the north west corner of Third Avenue and H Street, It is anticipated that these
parcels will be consolidated and cleared for redevelòpment with higher intensity land
use or uses, In addition, adjacent commercial property owners will be encouraged
to participate in the Agency's project and upgrade their property's.
There are several small parcels that are located along Third Avenue in the vicinity
of H Street that are developed with residential units and have been converted to
commercial offices. Redevelopment of these units will be encouraged,
Staff time and consultant costs over the next 5 years are estimated at $138,000.
3. Downtown Business Association/Promotions/and Marketing
Agency staff will continue to guide and assist the local merchant's association,
(Downtown Business Association) DBA, in implementing the Main Street Program
~ - ~ -~
:i 7~ '---
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 6
concept of managing the commercial downtown area to strengthen and support the
economic viability of the Chula Vista Downtown, The Downtown Business
Association will endeavor to develop and coordinate major promotional events to
attract local residents, to establish an expanded customer base by drawing
residents from the subregion, and to recruit viable new businesses to strengthen the
Downtown's business climate,
The Downtown Business Association organizes and administers promotional events
and implements strategies to increase and maintain a healthy customer base, and
develops relationships among the business owners, Agency staff will work with the
Downtown Business Association for the mutual benefit of the Town Centre
redevelopment effort,
Staff time, consultants fees and promotional assistance for the next 5 years is
estimated at $152,000,
4. Capital Improvements
Identification, plan development, and implementation of capital improvements where
public facilities, including utility services, are undersized for areas transitioning to
more intensive land use development.
Currently, a 4" waterline located in Landis Avenue north of F Street is inadequate
to provide fire service to future commercial development, It is anticipated that the
4" waterline will need to be replaced with an 8" waterline to accommodate the
area's transition from residential to commercial uses,
Staff costs and the construction of the Landis Avenue waterline is estimated at
$225,000,
5. Public Parking Facilities
Upgrade substandard public parking lots by adding and improving night lighting and
installing landscaping to create a safe and inviting environment for Downtown
patrons. Additional land may be needed to be acquired to create adequate public
parking facilities for the Project Area.
The Downtown Parking District is located within the Town Centre Redevelopment
Project Area, Currently, the District includes approximately 1000 public parking
spaces, About half of those spaces are located within public parking lots. Several
of the existing parking lots (lots 1,3,4,5,6 and 7) are older and have limited lighting
and landscaping, It is anticipated that several of the lots will be upgraded within the
next five years to improve the business environm-ent of the Downtown commercial
area, The cost will most likely be shared by the Parking District and In-lieu Parking
funds with assistance or loans from the Redevelopment Agency,
Staff time and cost of upgrading parking lots within the next 5 years is estimated
at $713,000, (.-C-G.

6. Joint Public/Private Programs
Development of programs such as: 1) demonstration exterior renovation project, 2)
Downtown banner project, 3) commercial rehabilitation loan program, 4) encourage
the redevelopment of properties such as those located at the corners of E Street/
Third Avenue and substandard structures at various locations throughout the project
area, and other similar type of projects that will have joint public and private
participation which will benefit the Project Area both physically and economically.
Costs for these types of activities would vary depending on the extent of the effort
and degree of Agency participation,
Staff and consultant cost at this time is estimated to be $100,000 with additional
costs for project implementation,
V. HOW GOAL. OBJECTIVES. PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES WILL ELIMINATE BLIGHT
The impact that goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will have toward the alleviation
of blighting influences as cited in the Redevelopment Plan is described below, The impact of
programs is also summarized on the attached matrix (Exhibit B),
A, Goal and Objectives
The goal and objectives, were specifically developed to alleviate conditions of physical
economic blight which impede development in the Project Area,
The goal established for the Project Area (in the Redevelopment Plan) specifically calls for the
revitalization of the project area and the objectives reference the use of the redevelopment
process to eliminate and mitigate all aspects of blight, The objectives address blighting
conditions impeding the development of properties in the Project Area include incompatible
land uses, inadequate parking facilities, and the elimination of environmental deficiencies, In
. addition, the objectives identify the need to strengthen the mercantile posture of the Town
Centre and to reorient the residents to their historic town center as well as to attract new
business,
B, Programs and Expenditures
The Redevelopment of the Third Avenue/Alvarado site and expenditures implement the goal
of the project by eliminating environmental deficiencies such as small and underdeveloped lots
and eliminating obsolete structures and providing the revitalization of underdeveloped
property,
The program expenditures related to the vicinity of H Street/Third Avenue will target the
elimination of blight, such as obsolete structures and smàll and limited parcels, Aesthetic
improvements will further the comprehensive beatification effort and revitalization of the
properties will benefit the economic health of the project area,
The Agency's liaison with the Downtown Business Association and staff guidance will
continue to promote economic improvement within the Project Area through attraction and

retention of viable businesses, The Agency's support of the DBA and town management
activities will assist in strengthening the mercantile posture of the Downtown and will further
the establishment of the Downtown as a principal center for specialty goods and services
which will increase the areas economic viability and increase its potential to generate property
and sales tax,
Expenditures planned for capital improvements and parking lot upgrades will eliminate obsolete
utilities and inadequate parking facilities, These infrastructure improvements also will work
toward the retention and expansion of viable land uses within the Town Centre,
Joint public and private programs will encourage the beautification of the Project Area and will
create an improved business climate which will attract new business and will encourage
residents to revisit their downtown.
VI. EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOALS. OBJECTIVES. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES
WILL IMPLEMENT PROJECT HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
A. Goals and Objectives
California's Community Redevelopment Law requires that not less than 20% of all tax
increment generated by the Project shall be used for the purpose of increasing or improving
the community's supply of very low, low and moderate income housing, The law requires
that at least 15% of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed with housing assistance
by entities other than the Agency in a Redevelopment Project Area be affordable to low and
moderate income households, of which 40% must be for, and occupied by, very low income
households, Additionally, affordable dwelling units shall remain affordable for the longest
feasible time (usually 55 years) but no less than the period of land use controls established
in the Project Plan (currently 25 years, but anticipated to be amended to 40 years),
B. Projects and Expenditures to be Made During the Next Five Years
1, Annual housing production goals have been established City-wide, See City-wide
Housing Goals attached as Exhibit C,
2, Estimated number of low/moderate income housing units to be destroyed in Years 1-5:
There are over 500 residential units located within the Town Centre Project Area,
Approximately 25 % of the housing stock includes single family detached dwellings and
75% includes multi-family, apartments and townhouses, For the most part, the single
family detached dwellings are of older stock and sit on small lots, Many are currently
co-mingled with commercial uses and a number have been converted into commercial
structures,
The Redevelopment Agency has no plan at this time which would involve the
displacement of any residential unit, But, since the Redevelopment Plan allows the
conversion of residential units to commercial use, there is the potential for the
'-c-i'
.3 ~
- .
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 9
displacement of low/moderate income families by virtue of the nature of the
redevelopment process and the implementation of the Project' goals and objectives
through private or public action,
3, Replacement Housing Site
Replacement of any displaced residential units through the use of the 20% housing set-
aside funds from the Project Area will be in accordance with the Citywide housing policy
which is described in Exhibit C,
4, Low/Moderate Housing Fund Expenditure Program
The Town Centre Redevelopment Project Area sets aside 20% of the Project Area's tax
increment for the Agency's Low/Moderate Income Housing fund, Estimated deposits
and expenditures are included in the Agency's Housing Plan (see Exhibit C),
5, A315 Housing Production Plan
See Exhibit C,
6, Low/Moderate Income Housing Production Results
See Exhibit C
VII. CONCLUSION
Adoption of the Implementation Plan shall not constitute approval of any specific program,
project or expenditure and does not change the need to obtain any required approval of a
specific program, project or expenditure from the Agency or Community, The projects
described in the Implementation Plan are examples of undertakings which will meet the goals
and objectives of the Redevelopment Project, Other projects which meet program
requirements may also be pursued by the Agency,
This is the initial Implementation Plan for the Town Centre Redevelopment Project. This plan
will be reviewed by the Agency at least once within the five-year term of the Plan. The
review including a noticed public hearing, will take place no earlier than two years and no later
than three years after adoption of this initial Implementation Plan,
The Agency will hold a requisite public hearing and adopt a new Implementation Plan every
five years from the date of adoption of this initial plan,
The Implementation Plan may be amended by the Agency at any time following a noticed
public hearing, .

HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area
Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
I. INTRODUCTION
This housing implementation plan for the Bayfront, Town Centre I, Town Centre II, Southwest, and
Otay Valley Road Project Areas has been prepared by Agency staff for the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency (Agency). Pursuant to Section 33413(d), because the Bayfront
Redevelopment Project Area was adopted prior to January 1, 1976, the inclusionary housing
provisions of Section 3341 3 do not apply to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project, The
implementation plan is being prepared and adopted in accordance with the recently enacted AB
1290 legislation and addresses the housing production requirements, The key requirements of the
legislation that this section of the implementation plan addresses are:
. A description of the Agency's specific housing related goals and objectives for the project
area, including specific programs, possible projects, and expenditures for the next five years,
. A discussion of the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund including the amount in the Housing
Trust Fund, amounts to be deposited in the next five years and anticipated expenditures,
. Proposed locations suitable for replacement housing units in instances where plan activities
trigger the need for such units,
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will implement the
low and moderate income housing set,aside and housing productjon requirements of the law,
including an annual housing program,
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will increase and
improve the inventory of low and moderate income housing units,
II. HOUSING PLAN - CHAS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
The City of Chula Vista has adopted a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) per
the requirements for communities receiving funds from the U,S, Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The CHAS, which was adopted for the period January 1, 1994 to December
30, 1999, includes:
. Identification of the existing and projected housing needs and establishment of goals, policies,
objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing to meet
the needs of all economic sectors of the community,
. Description of the resources (human and financial), market~ and strategies intended to meet the
housing needs of the community,
. Investment decision-making guides for elected officials, program administrators, community
organizations and banks, housing developers and concerned citizens.
Attachment C 6-<:'-/2- Page 1
.# ,.JÝ
. Long-term (Five Year Strategy) and short term (Annual Plan) guides which describe the general
priorities, plans and allocation of federal, state, local and private resources and funds,
The CHAS provides the City with estimates of current and future housing needs, Specific activities
intended to provide assistance to the community were .identified in the CHAS including goals,
policies and program objectives to address the current and future need,
The policies, goals and objectives for both the City's Five Year Strategy and One Year Action Plans
are predicated on both the CHAS and the Chula Vista Housing Element, The Housing Element,
adopted March 3, 1992 as part of the General Plan, contains an in-depth evaluation of the
demographic, economical and social characteristics of the City along with projections and trends
impacting housing and community needs, The broad goals established as part of the Housing
Element are:
. To promote and ensure the provision of adequate housing for all persons regardless of income,
age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background or other arbitrary factors,
. To promote and ensure the provision of housing selection by location, type, price and tenure,
. To promote and ensure the development of a balanced residential environment with access to
employment opportunities, community facilities and adequate services,
Taking these goals and Chula Vista's specific needs into consideration, the Housing Element
describes all of the housing-related programs being implemented in Chula Vista, including:
residential rehabilitation activities, new construction of affordable units, housing assistance
programs for the aged and disabled, assistance programs for owners and renters, and fair housing
and affirmative marketing.
The City of Chula Vista, in cooperation with the City's Housing Authority and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, implements and administers the various housing programs developed
through the CHAS and the Housing Element to address housing needs,
Household Income Levels
The CHAS identifies categories of community members needing assistance and establishes priorities
based upon the findings compiled during the data gathering phase of the strategy development, The
specific income groups being targeted are very low income, low income and moderate income
households, which are defined by using the San Diego County median income level as the basis,
The County median is determined annually, and is adjusted for household size. Based on the 1994
median income of $45,400 for San Diego County (assuming a 4 person household), the income
groups are as follows:
Income Level Percent of Median 4 Person HH Income
Very low 0% to 50% $0-$22,700
Low 51 % to 80% $22,700-$36,320
Moderate 81%to 120% $36,321-$54,480
Specific activities intended to provide housing assistance to target income groups were identified
in the CHAS and given priority rankings,

Housina Needs
The unmet housing need in Chula Vista is quantified in the Housing Element based on the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG),
These numbers indicate the following housing need by income group as of 1991:
Income Level Housina Needs as of 1991 Housina needs as of 1 994
Very low 1232 1125
Low 628 610
Moderate 131 131
However, these calculations don't take into consideration the 107 very low income and 18 low
income housing units that have been developed through financial assistance of the Agency, Taking
these figures into account, the current housing needs for the five year plan are as shown above to
the right,
III. HOUSING FUND (TWENTY PERCENT SET ASIDE) REQUIREMENTS
As part of the Agency's efforts to meet its unmet housing needs, tax increment housing set aside
funds have been and will continue to be used to create affordable housing units, The estimated
amount of tax increment housing set-aside available for fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99 for
the combined project areas is $5,964,051, Table 1 on page following estimates the yearly tax
increment by project area,
The total revenues to be deposited over the five year period are estimated at $5.9 million, The
beginning balance in the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1 994 was
$1,704,436, Thus, $7,668,358 in funds are projected to be available over the five year projection
period,
Allocation of Funds to Proarams
The Allocation of these funds are presented in Table 2, Based on existing programs and pro forma
cost projections for new and rehabilitated units, up to 175 additional units could be created over
the five year period. Funds are allocated among newly constructed and rehabilitated units as
follows: 1 50 new housing units; and 25 rehabilitated housing units,
IV, EXCESS/SURPLUS
As defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.12(g)(1), an agency has an
excess/surplus at any time that unexpended and unencumbered monies in the Agency's low and
moderate income housing fund exceed the greater of $1,0 million or the total funds deposited in
the low and moderate income housing fund over the preceding four fiscal years,
For the purposes of complying with the current mandate, the Agency must determine whether an
excess/surplus existed as of July 1, 1994, This is determined by comparing the unencumbered
balance of the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994, to the sum of the
property tax increment housing set-aside deposited into the fund between fiscal years 1989-90
through 1992-93, If the amount of unencumbered funds in the account exceeds the sum of the
deposits, the Agency has an excess/surplus,

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency deposited $2,792,234.00 to the low and moderate
income housing fund between fiscal years 1989-90 and 1992-93, Comparatively, the
unencumbered balance of the low and moderate income housing fund was $1,704,436,00
as of July 1, 1 994, Thus, no excess/surplus currently exists,
The annual plans included in this five year implementation plan call for the entire available
balance in the low and moderate income housing fund to be expended annually, Thus, it is
not anticipated that the Agency will experience excess/surplus at any time point during the
five year planning period.
3 These units include housing units to receive minor rehabilitation through Agency assistance. The
majority of the units are mobilehomes,
, These units will be discussed later in the report. They are units the Agency plans to displace in the next
five years due to redevelopment projects.

V, REPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Section 33413(a) of the California Health and Safety Code requires that whenever units
housing persons of low and moderate incomes are destroyed or removed from the low and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, the Agency shall within
four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct for rental or sale,
to persons of low and moderate income, an equal number of replacement units, At least 75%
of these replacement units must be made available at an affordable housing cost for the same
income level as the household that was displaced,
The Agency incurred an obligation to replace 157 units that were demolished as a result of
redevelopment activities in the various project areas. This figure excludes units displaced in
the Agency's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974 and
is not subject to the replacement housing requirement, Of the 157 units displaced, 104 were
very low income trailers (one bedroom), 27 units were low income (one bedroom) and 26
units were low income (two bedroom),
The replacement units must meet the following minimum income standards:
Unit Tvee Income Level Number of units
1 bedroom very low 78
1 bedroom low 20
1 bedroom low or moderate ..n
Total 131
Unit Tvee Income Level Number of units
2 bedroom very low 0
2 bedroom low 20
2 bedroom low or moderate ....Q
Total 26
The above units were replaced with the following 184 very low and low income housing units
built with Agency participation on a Citywide basis, These projects are the following:
Proiect Number of units bv bedroom
Town Centre Manor 59 (58 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Dorothy Street 22 (22 three bedrooms)
Silvercrest 75 (74 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Civic Center Barrio 28 (6 one bedroom, 13 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom)
The projects listed above contain 166 very low income and 18 low income housing units,
These units fulfill the Agency's replacement obligation for the 157 housing units displaced in
the past, Moreover, a surplus of very low and low income housing units was constructed
beyond the requirement that 75% of the units removed after September 1, 1989 be replaced
with units having an equal or greater number of bedrooms ,and be available at an affordable
housing cost for the same income level as the household that was displaced.

Proiected Housina DisDlacement and DeveloDment Activities
In the next five years, there exists the possibility of 65 additional units being displaced due
to potential redevelopment activity as follows:
Project Area Number of Units displaced
Town Centre I None
Town Centre II 48 low income mobilehomes & 15 low income apts
Southwest None
Otay Valley Road 2 low income sinale familv homes
TOTAL 65 low income units
The above 65 housing units add an additional development obligation of 65 low income
housing units by the Agency,
ReDlacement Sites
The following is a breakdown of possible housing replacement sites and housing developments
in project areas for the next five years,
Town Centre I
. The Windmill Farms site is zoned Central CommercialfR-3 High Density Residential.
2,65 acres, No housing development is expected on this site in the next five years.
Town Centre II
. The Sweetwater Union High School District headquarter is planned to be relocated
within the next 3-4 years, The current site is in zoned R 1-P, low density housing,
comprising 7,93 acres and can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning, This
housing should be affordable to moderate income persons and could be developed in
the next five years,
Southwest
. Possible sites for future housing development may be located within the Woodlawn
Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and southwestern Dorothy Street communities,
However, no housing development is planned at this time to be developed in the next
five years,
Otav Valley Road
. All land in project area is zoned for light industrial development, There are no suitable
housing sites within the project area,
'The Agency is not currently planning any activity which would result in
the loss of these units,

Affordable Housinq Production (Inclusionarv) Requirements
Section 33413(b) (1) and (2) of the California Health and Safety Code imposes inclusionary
requirements on all housing units built in Redevelopment Project Areas, whether developed
by the Agency or by private entities, For the project areas adopted on or after January 1,
1976, the following restrictions apply:
1. At least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by a
redevelopment agency must be affordable to persons of low and moderate income, Not
less than 50% of those units (15 % of the total) must be available to very low income
persons,
2, For units developed by other public or private entities, at least 15 % of the units must be
affordable to low and moderate income persons; not less than 40% of these units must
be made affordable to very low income persons,
Affordable units created outside of the project areas may be counted toward this requirement
on a 2 for 1 basis, In other words, if the Agency develops two affordable housing units
outside of a project area, only one of the two housing units can be counted toward overall
Agency production.
Within the City of Chula Vista, all of the project areas are subject to the housing production
requirements excluding the Bayfront Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974, These
requirements must be met every ten years in the aggregate, but are planned for on a five year
basis,
Past Housina Development Activities
A total of 344 housing units have been built in all the project areas by entities other than the
Agency generating an inclusionary housing requirement for 21 very low income units and 31
low or moderate income units, The breakdown of the 344 housing units by project area is
as follows:
Total 15% of Required Completed Required Completed
Proiect Area Units Total Low/Mod Low/Mod Verv Low Verv Low
Town Centre I 235 35 21 71 14 0

Southwest 2 -.l ...Q -1 -1 ...Q
TOTAL 344 52 31 72 21 0
Between 1980 and 1990, the Agency provided financial assistance to 72 low and moderate
income units and no very low income units, Thus, at present the Agency has a surplus of 41
low and moderate income units and an obligation for the development of 21 very low income
units.

Aaencv Assisted Housina for Next Five Years
For all the redevelopment areas in the City, it is estimated that 18 moderate income units of
housing should be developed in next five years, This project was referred to above in the
Town Centre II replacement site selection, These units have the following affect to the
Agency's current deficit housing situation in Town Centre II:
Low/Mod Income Very Low Income
Existing Deficit in Town Centre II 10 6
Impact of TCII Housing (18 units'): -----2 ---1
New Deficit in Town Centre II 12 7
As shown below, the 18 moderate income units when constructed in the next five years will
create an additional surplus of 16 low and moderate income units for the Agency and an
obligation for the development of one additional very low income unit,
Total 15% of Required Completed Required Completed

, Section 33413 states that 15% of the 18 TC II units must be affordable to low and
moderate income and that 40% of the low/mod units must be affordable to very low income.
In this case, 18 X 15% = 310w/lJ1od units, (3 X 60% = Zlow/mod units) (3 X 40% = 1

VI. LINKAGE OF HOUSING SET ASIDE FUND EXPENDITURES WITH NEED
The City of Chula Vista, through the development of CHAS and Housing Element of the
General Plan, has determined that there is a need to provide and encourage the development
of very low, low and moderate income housing throughout major portions of the City, The
planned use of the Housing Funds in the Project Areas will be undertaken in accordance with
these policy documents, and will continue to be expended to fulfill these established goals and
objectives, The use of these funds will directly increase and improve the supply of affordable
housing within the City of Chula Vista,

SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director ~~ t-\
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director~)G\ \-Þ7) :íi~\ (415ths Vote: Yes- NoLI
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the changes in Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency approved a Five-Year
Implementation Plan for the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area on December 13, 1994 (Attachment
C), The Implementation Plan describes the project area's goals and objectives for the elimination of blight
in the project area as well as programs and expenditures for achieving them, Community Redevelopment
Law requires that the Agency hold a mid-term public hearing to review progress made on the implementation
plans for all of the redevelopment project areas within its jurisdiction in order to hear testimony from all
interested parties and assess the plans' effectiveness, The Agency is requested to hold the required public
hearing for the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area this evening,
The law also allows the Implementation Plan to be amended following public hearing, Staff recommends
the addition of one project to the Town Centre II Implementation Plan, The public hearing also includes
a discussion of the proposed amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency hold the public hearing, hear testimony and staff reports, approve
the mid-term progress report and amend the Implementation Plan by adding a project.
BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Town Centre Project Area Committee reviewed
the Implementation Plan at their meeting of August 7, 1997, and recommended that the Agency approve
the report.

Meeting Date 08/19197
DISCUSSION:
The Implementation Plan for the Town Centre II Project Area (Attachment C), approved on December 13,
1994, describes the redevelopment project area, its blighted conditions, progress in eliminating blight through
1994, specific goals and objectives for future efforts in the project area, and describes programs and
expenditures to address remaining blight. The purpose of the mid-term public hearing, as required by
Community Redevelopment Law, is to review the efforts and progress made in eliminating blight in the
project area over the past two and one half years in terms of programs and expenditures cited in the
Implementation Plan, and discuss further actions to be undertaken for the duration of the five-year plan
which expires on December 31, 1999, At that time, the Agency will be requested to review additional
progress and approve a new Implementation Plan for an additional five years,
The conditions of blight in the project area cited at the time of approval included incompatible land uses,
obsolete structures, inadequate parking and general lack of design standards,
Progress Made on Imolementation Plan Proiects
1. Redevelop Major Commercial Sites
Two major commercial redevelopment sites are described in the Implementation Plan as blighted and needing
assistance to remove impediments to development. These sites are the northwest quadrant of Broadway
and "E" Street and the northeast quadrant of I-54 and National City Avenue,
The first site includes a large vacant lot, trailer park, multi.family residences and scattered commercial
structures. The vacant lot is separated from the Feaster Elementary School by Jefferson Street. The Chula
Vista Elementary School District desires to expand the Feaster School and play yard by acquiring the vacant
parcel and joining it to the existing school facility, In order to accomplish this, a portion of Jefferson Street
has to be discontinued without totally precluding pedestrian access to "E" Street from the residential
community to the north. City staff, working with the property owner and School District staff, developed
plans and held public hearings to effect the discontinuance of a portion of Jefferson Street to allow use
of the vacant parcel by the School District. The closure will proceed when City conditions have been met.
The School District closed escrow for the purchase of the expansion site last March.
Additional efforts will be required in this area to redevelop the corner of "E" Street and Broadway which
still contains an older commercial center, scattered commercial land uses, a dilapidated trailer park and older
residential apartment buildings,
The second parcel, now known as the WalMart site, was an irregular shaped parcel designated for industrial
development. The site had limited access due to the presence of wetlands separating the parcel from
Broadway, and an adjacent commercial center (located in National City) which precluded access to North
Fourth Avenue, City staff worked with the land owner of the parcel and the owners of the National City
7-~

Meeting Date 08119/97
property, National City planning and development staff and WalMart developers to rezone the industrial site
to allow for commercial development, redesign and redevelop the property in conjunction with redevelopment
of the National City Center which allowed access to the WalMart site from North Fourth Avenue, In
addition, the Agency provided financial assistance for the construction of a bridge over the wetlands in order
to access Broadway thus making commercial development feasible and practical.
Both the National City commercial center and the WalMart store have been completed and opened. There
are still several pads within the commercial site to be developed which is anticipated to occur in the near
future as business activity at both commercial centers increases.
2. Work with School Districts to Facilitate Expansion Needs
Agency staff have had considerable success working with the Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater Union
High School Districts towards expanding targeted school sites including the Feaster School, Chula Vista
Middle School, and towards the relocation of the Sweetwater District administrative center from inadequate
facilities currently located on Fifth Avenue within the Town Centre II Project Area,
The current status of expansion of the Feaster School site is described in the preceding section,
The Chula Vista Middle School, located on Fifth Avenue adjacent to the Scripps Memorial Hospital expansion
site, also requires expansion to add new science lab and classroom facilities, Although suitable utilities are
presently located along the southerly boundary of the school site (adjacent to the Scripps expansion site)
to accommodate new classrooms, drainage problems and lack of sufficient space for new classrooms
precluded expansion in this area, However, Agency staff, working with School District and Scripps'
planners, were able to work out a compromise solution benefiting both landowners, Through a land swap,
the School District will pick up additional property from Scripps along their southerly property line which
will accommodate their expansion needs. Scripps will pick up an equivalent parcel further to the west which
will enable them to provide better emergency vehicular access to their expanded hospital, In addition,
Scripps grading plans will include correction of drainage problems in the vicinity of the property to be
acquired by the School District. Grading plans are currently being reviewed by City staff. Construction
work is expected to proceed this fall,
This past Spring, the Agency conveyed the Windmill Farms site located within the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project Area, to the Sweetwater Union High School District. This site will be used for the
development of a new district headquarters which will enable the District to vacate its current, inadequate
facilities located within the Town Centre II Project Area, The old site will be redeveloped for residential
reuse. Tax increment revenues accruing from the sale and redevelopment of the old headquarters site will
provide part of the funding for development of the new administration center,

Meeting Date 08119/97
3. Relocation of the City Public Works Yard
The City Public Works Yard is presently located on a six acre parcel adjacent to the "E" Street Trolley
Station and 1-5, City staff have been searching for a suitable relocation site further to the east where
substantial growth is occurring. Relocation of the yard will allow the redevelopment of the old yard to a
higher and better use, taking advantage of its advantageous location next to mass transit and the Freeway,
Although progress has been slow in identifying a suitable relocation site, negotiations are now underway
for the purchase of a property east of 1-805 which, if successful, would provide a site which would
accommodate City needs with limited retrofitting of existing improvements. This could substantially reduce
relocation time and make the old yard available for sale or lease more quickly,
4. Expansion of City Hall Parking Facilities
With acquisition of the Adamo property and expansion of the City's "F" Street parking lot several years ago,
this project has been completed. Subject to future expansion of City staff and continuance of City Hall
expansion plans, the parking issue may need to be revisited, However, existing facilities are considered
sufficient to meet current needs.
5. Housing
During the first two and a half years of this citywide five year plan, the Agency has attained 47% of its
housing goal. Eighty-three (83) units of a projected 175 units were assisted using Redevelopment low and
Moderate Income Funds, Of these 83 units, none were located in any of Chula Vista's five redevelopment
project areas. No displacement occurred during this period, however, 63 units are expected to be displaced
in Town Center II during the next couple of years, These 63 units will be replaced by surplus units Chula
Vista has accumulated over the years, In addition, 401 units were assisted by City staff using non Agency
funds,
More details on the progress of meeting the Agency's housing goals are provided in the report marked
Attachment B. Each of the five redevelopment area plan updates has the same summary and report, which
reflects citywide activity,
GOALS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE REMAINING TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS
The Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area will expire at the end
of 1999. For the remaining period covered by the Implementation Plan, staff intends to accomplish the
following:
7-'1

Page 5. Item :1.-
Meeting Date DB/19197
1. Redevelopment of Major Commercial Sites (Area 1 on locator Map)
Staff will continue to work towards effectuating the expansion of the Feaster School site including the
closure of Jefferson Street. In addition, staff will continue to work with owners of commercial and
residential properties on the northwest corner of Broadway and "En Street to consolidate parcels for the
redevelopment of the area, This area contains an older trailer park and multi. family residences providing
low and moderate income housing opportunities which may eventually be demolished. Since Community
Redevelopment Law requires the identification of replacement housing opportunities when projects reduce
existing low-end stock, Attachment C identifies replacement housing opportunities should they be needed.
Staff will also continue to work with the WalMart developer to attract additional retail uses to their site
in order to complete development.
Total cost of this activity to the Agency is estimated at $100,000.
2. Expansion of School Sites (Area 2 on locator Map)
Staff will continue to monitor progress on the Scripps/Chula Vista Middle School land swap, and continue
to work with the Sweetwater Union High School staff to identify financing for construction of the new
administration center on Third Avenue,
Staff expense is estimated at $50,000,
3, Relocation of the City Public Works Yard (Area 3 on locator Map)
Identification of a suitable relocation site will remain a high priority, Once a site is identified, staff will
develop plans and a timetable for relocation (which may require retrofitting or development of a new facility),
and redevelopment plans for the current site to its highest and best use.
Project staff costs are currently estimated at $100,000, Development funds for the new corporation yard
will come from multiple sources including the Public Facilities Development Impact Fund,
ADDITIONAL PROJECTS/AMENDMENT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
In accordance with Section 33490 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, Implementation Plans
may be amended at any time by the Agency following a property noticed public hearing. Staff recommends
that the Agency consider amendment of the Town Centre II Implementation Plan to add the project identified
below. The proposed amendment was included in the notification and public hearing held this evening,

Scripps Memorial Hospital Expansion (Area 4 on locator Map)
Scripps Memorial Hospital Expansion was approved by the Redevelopment Agency in 1993 and anticipated
to be almost completed by this date, However, due to changes in the medical services industry and
consequent rethinking of expansion plans, construction of this project has not commenced. Scripps
submitted amended development plans for this project in 1995 which were reviewed and approved by City
Staff, However, the change in scope of development of the site require revisions to the Owner Participation
Agreement (OPA) between Scripps and the Agency which the Agency gave conceptual approval to in
January. The final document is under staff review at this time, It will be a priority of the Agency to
complete negotiations and approve a restated OPA by October 1997, Not withstanding this, Scripps has
proceeded to process hospital expansion plans through the State Department of Health Services and has
submitted grading and subdivision plans to the City, A groundbreaking ceremony for the project was held
in June, and grading work is expected to proceed before the end of the summer.
Staff's goal will be to complete the renegotiation and approval of the restated OPA by the end of the
Summer, and to expedite the review of plans so that construction work on the hospital may begin before
the end of this calendar year.
This project will eliminate blighting conditions including inappropriate parcelization established for older,
currently defunct commercial structures which impedes expansion of Scripps Hospital and the Chula Vista
Middle School, Inadequate access to support the proposed hospital expansion will also be addressed, The
approval of a restated Owner Participation Agreement will allow the development project to proceed which
will include the demolition of older, defunct commercial structures and development of a modern, planned
hospital campus,
Staff costs are estimated at $50,000,
CONCLUSIONS
The first two and one half years of the Implementation Plan have been characterized by substantial progress
in eliminating blighting conditions and other impediments to growth and development within the Town Centre
II Redevelopment Project Area. Progress has included the development of the WalMart Center, expansion
of the Feaster and Chula Vista Middle School sites and sale of property to the Sweetwater Union High
School District for relocation of their administration center. Also, during this period, additional staff parking
was provided at City Hall.
Projects still requiring Agency assistance and support include relocation of the Public Works yard, expansion
of Scripps Hospital and removal of impediments to development of the northwest corner of Broadway and
"E" Street.

FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated costs associated with each project are indicated above. The costs
include staff, consulting and development related expenses and may be budgeted, as funds permit, in a single
or multiple fiscal years, It is the intention of staff to complete as many of the projects listed as practical
depending upon the availability of funds, feasibility, priorities and workload, It should be noted that inclusion
of a project in the Implementation Plan does not require the Agency to budget and complete a project, nor
preclude the Agency from undertaking any additional qualified projects,
Total costs for implementation of projects remaining to be completed are estimated at $300,000, These
are very preliminary cost estimates and are subject to change and refinement.
For housing in particular, from July 1994 through June 1997, $2,566.451 was spent from the
Redevelopment Moderate and low Income Fund to assist approximately 83 units (plus land acquisition lor
the development of another 18 units) in non-redevelopment project areas, The expected expenditure for the
rest of the plan period, July 1997 through December 1999, is approximately $2.8 million for 92 units
remaining from the original 175 units in the 5-year plan,

Agency Assisted Units
The five year citywide goal was to assist 175 units through rehabilitation and or construction
in Chula Vista using Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Funds, The actual number
of units that received assistance or has received a commitment for assistance from the
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Fund is 83 nom January 1,1995 to June 30,1997,
This includes the completion of 26 scattered site mobile home park rehabilitation grants, 13
scattered site single family housing rehabilitation loans, the sale of two mobile home park
spaces and loan repayments of two mobile home park spaces in Orange Tree Mobile Home
Park and a commitment towards the development of 40 rental units at Cordova Village in
Rancho del Rey, Construction will begin on Cordova Village in August 1997,
Of these 83 units, 39 were rehabilitated and 44 were developed (including the four referenced
mobile home park spaces above). This compares to the 5 year projection of 50 being
rehabilitated and 150 being developed, Of the 150 being developed, it was projected that 50
units would be developed in the redevelopment areas, The actual number of units developed
in the redevelopment areas was zero, The 83 units outside the redevelopment area consisted
of zero units for families with moderate incomes, 32 units for families with low incomes, and
51 units for families with Yery low incomes, The Agency has exceeded its obligation
identified in 1990 to develop 21 units for families with very low income by an extra 30 units,
No new development has taken place in the redevelopment areas between January 1,1995 and
June 30, 1997, thus no new obligation has accumulated, The number of units that were
displaced during this period was zero, compared to the projected 65, However, consistent with
the 5 year plan, it is projected that 48 mobilehomes housing families with low incomes and 15
apartments housing families with low incomes will be displaced in Town Center II, These 63
displaced units will be replaced by the surplus of 41 units housing families with low incomes
noted in the 5 year plan (resulting from housing development activities between 1980-1990)
and by 22 units housing families with low incomes from the development of Cordova Village.
Non Agency Assisted Units
The total non Agency assisted units are 401. Of these 72 were for families with moderate
incomes, 60 were for families with low incomes and 269 were for families with very low
incomes,
300 units in Chura Vista were preserved for families with very low and low incomes between
January I, 1995 to June 30, 1997. These were HOD Section 236 units, Palomar Apartments
7-8-1
- .
and Oxford Terrace Apartments, which had expiring affordability restrictions, Both were
bought by non-profits using HUD Capital Grant funds, 252 units were for families with very
low incomes and 48 were for families with low incomes,
Another 17 units were developed for very low income families, which included 16 units of
public housing built by the San Diego County, L Street Manor, and one unit for transitional
housing developed by the non profit South Bay Community Services. Plus 12 units were sold
to families with low incomes in the Salt Creek One master planned community at Cabo and
72 units were sold to families with moderate incomes at Sanibelle as part of Rancho del Rey's
affordable housing requirement.
Agencv Assisted and Non Agencv Assisted Units Combined Total
Agency assisted and non Agency assisted units rehabilitated or developed between January 1,
1995 and June 30, 1997 total 484 units, Of these 72 were for families with moderate incomes,
92 were for families with low incomes and 320 were for families with very low incomes,

FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
(Health & Safety Code Section 33490)
TOWN CENTRE" REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
The five year implementation plan for the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project is adopted
to meet the requirements of Section 33490 of the Health and Safety Code. The plan is a
flexible policy document and not a limitation on the Agency's activities in this project area
over the coming five years.
B. Background
The Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area, located in the downtown area of Chula
Vista, was adopted by,the City Council on August 15, 1978. The original project included
the Chula Vista Shopping Center and Sears retail center, and comprised a total of 65.41
acres. The purpose of this project was to unite and renovate these two commercial centers
into a contiguous modern and competitive regional shopping, center.
The Town Centre II Redevelopment Plan was amended in May 1987 to incorporate the
authority to obtain tax increment revenues in accordance with California Community
Redevelopment Law. This authority was not included in the originally adopted Redevelopment
Plan.
As part of the negotiations with affected taxing agencies pertaining to the inclusion of tax'
increment financing, the Agency agreed to amend the project a second time to add additional
territory. The second amendment, adopted in June 1988, facilitates various school district
projects and promotes redevelopment of blighted land uses in the additional territory. In
total, ten sites totalling 75.7 acres were added to the Project Area by the second amendment.
The original duration of thErRedevelopment Plan was 45 years until the year 2032. Pursuant
to recent changes in the State law (Health & Safety Code Section 33333.6) the Plan was
recently amended by Ordinance 2610 to reduce the duration to 40 years or 2027. Financial
limitations have been established as follows: A limit of $42.5 million of taxes which may be
divided and allocated to the Agency or, if bonds are issued or reimbursement agreements are
entered into with other public agencies and/or private entities, a cumulative total of $100
mil/ion plus the amounts included in any reimbursement or other agreements with affected
taxing agencies.
The implementation plan is intended to be a flexible policy document to guide Agency
activities over the next five years (1995 through 1999), and is not intended to represent a
limitation on Agency activities. The programs/projects included in the Implementation Plan
are those priority programs anticipated to be implemented during the next five years, however,
they are not all of the programs/projects necessary to eliminate blight in the project area,
The Redevelopment Project Area Boundaries are described on the attached map (Exhibit A).

II. BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
A. Pre-Plan Conditions
The Redevelopment Plan identifies the following blighting conditions in the original Project
Area.
1. Incompatible land uses.
2. Obsolete structures.
3. Inadequate parking facilities.
4. Unsightly or unattractive signage and graphics, general lack of design standards.
5. Inadequate land use and townscape planning which has had a negative impact on
businesses and neighboring residential land uses in the Project Area.
The 1988 Plan Amendment established the following blighting influences for the expansion
area:
- The need to recycle under-utilized parcels to accommodate higher and better economic
uses improving the financial viability of the community as a whole;
- The need to upgrade the general aesthetics of the older commercial enterprises to
improve their economic viability and their ability to compete with newer commercial
areas both within the City of Chula Vista and adjacent communities;
- The need to address street improvements;
- The existence of parcels of property that are of irregular form and shape or
inadequately sized for property usefulness and development;
- The existence of obsolete and/or dilapidated structures; and
- The need to promote continued redevelopment of the Downtown Business District.
B. Progress in Eliminating Blighting Conditions
Since adoption of the Plan in 1978, the Agency has worked to eliminate certain of these
conditions through the following efforts:
. Provided financial and planning assistance for two expansions of Chula Vista Center
Regional Mall, adding over 220,000 square feet of new commercial space including a
fourth major department store, parking structure, ten-screen cinema and new mall
shops linking the Broadway and Sears stores.
. Closed Fifth Avenue between H Street and I Street to facilitate expansion of Chula
Vista Center.

Five Year Implementation Plan Page 3
. Relocated the Girls' and Boys' Club (previously located within Chula Vista Center) to
a new, modern facility several blocks away to continue to serve the western section
of the City.
. Designated Scripps Memorial Hospital as developer for eight acre parcel located at the
northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and H Street. The project will include expansion of
hospital facilities located on the adjacent parcel and construction of medical offices and
parking facilities.
. In conjunction with the Scripps Memorial Hospital project, successfully relocated youth
serving facilities including Rollerskateland and Fiesta Twin Cinemas to new facilities
located near their old sites.
. Private development has provided 90 units of moderate priced rental housing in the
Project Area.
. Purchased property for the expansion of City Hall employee parking.
. Negotiations are underway with a major developer for the development of a 32 acre
commercial site which is impacted by poor access, wetland encroachment and partially
located within a different municipality.
C. Current Conditions
Despite progress made to date, certain blighting conditions remain which will impact future
commercial and residential development. These include:
. Blighted, underdeveloped or vacant contiguous parcels of irregular shape with multiple
ownerships which need to be consolidated for redevelopment purposes to provide
higher and better economic use of property.
. The need for street improvements including the provision of adequate access for
development of a major cQmmercial parcel.
. Overcrowding conditions at public schools within or adjacent to the Project Area.
. Existence of obsolete and/or dilapidated structures.
. Incompatibility of the Sweetwater Union School District headquarters with surrounding
low density residential development.
. City Corporation Yard currently an incompatible use and will be relocated to a more
suitable site.
III; SPECIFIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT AREA
Yo address the blighting conditions listed above, the following goals and objectives were
established in the Redevelopment Plan (including the amendments).

IV. PROGRAMS. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES PROPOSED FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS
The preliminary list of Redevelopment programs and projects provided below represent a list
of staff-identified actions that, if implemented, will have a direct positive effect on the
elimination of blighting influences in the Project, Inasmuch as the proposed programs need
to be evaluated during the course of annual budgetary approval actions, the proposed
expenditures have not been fully determined, and in most instances, will be a function of
available redevelopment funding. The annual budget approval process will be the framework
within which staff-proposed programs will be evaluated and "compete" for funding approval
by the Redevelopment Agency Board. Additional programs are needed to completely eliminate
blight in the Project Area but the programs described in this section are proposed to be
implemented over the next five years. The costs described are based upon anticipated tax
increment cash flow over the next five years net of debt service and administrative costs.
A. Redevelop Major Commercial Sites
Work with developers and property owners to consolidate parcels and develop plans for the
comprehensive commercial redevelopment of two parcels: the northwest quadrant of
Broadway and E Street and the northeast quadrant of I-54 and National City Avenue. These
two sites are underdeveloped due to irregular shaped parcels, multiple ownerships, poor
planning and inappropriate development. Negotiations, planning and the preparation of
development agreements are estimated to cost $200,000 for both sites.
B. Work With School Districts to Facilitate Expansion and Relocation Needs
Agency staff will work with the school district staff towards resolving their facilities' needs
including relocation of the Sweetwater Union High School headquarter~ and the residential
redevelopment of their present site; expansion of the Chula Vista Middle School (in
conjunction with Scripps Hospital expansion); and expansion of the Feaster School site.
Agency costs for these activities are estimated as follows:
Relocation of Sweetwater District office $75,000
Expansion of Feaster School $100,000
Expansion of Chula Vista Middle School $25.000
Total $200,000
C. Relocation of City Public Works Yard Site
The City Public Works Yard Occupies six acres adjacent to the Bayfront San Diego Trolley
Station, The City is negotiating for a new public works yard site in the eastern section of the
City which will be more centrally located as the City grows eastwardly. In order for the
current yard site to be redeveloped, a feasibility analysis will be necessary to determine the
highest and best use. Marketing and development of the site for redevelopment will require
additional staff and program costs. The cost for this activity is estimated as follows:

Development of New Corporation Yard (non-Agency funds) 20 Million
Feasibility study 50,000
Staff expense 50.000
Total Cost: $22,500,000
D. Expand City Hall Parking .lot
The Agency recently purchased .5 acres adjacent to the City's employee parking lot for
expansion needs. This property contains six dwelling units. All residents have been
relocated. The Agency will demolish structures and expand the City parking lot. Total cost
is $200,000.
V. HOW GOALS. OBJECTIVES. PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES Will ELIMINATE
BLIGHT
The impact that goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will have toward the alleviation
of blighting conditions as cited in the Redevelopment Plan is summarized below. The impact
of the programs is also summarized on the attached matrix (Exhibit B).
~.,
:: A. Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives, as discussed in the Redevelopment Plan, were specifically developed
to alleviate blighting conditions in the Project Area.
;., The original project goal was the revitalization of the Project Area (Chula Vista Center
shopping center) as the principal regional shopping center for the South Bay. This goal was
expanded as part of the second Redevelopment Plan amendment, to include the facilitation
of various school district projects and redevelopment of Agency/City facilities within the
expanded project area. This will require the alleviation of blighting influences as more
specifically addressed by the objectives,
The objectives specifically address the elimination of blighting influences including
incompatible land uses, removal of obsolete and dilapidated buildings, and the need for
beautification efforts and sign control to improve Project Area aesthetics. The objectives also
stress the strengthening of the mercantile character of the Project Area with good townscape
planning including sensitivity to the need to protect peripheral residential land uses.
B. Programs
The program to redevelop major commercial sites will specifically address blighting influences
of incompatible land uses, obsolete structures, irregular parcels, the need to recycle under-
utilized parcels for better economic use of property, and the need for street improvements.
The program to facilitate school district projects including relocation of the Sweetwater Union
High School District offices and expansion of school sites will address blighting influences of
incompatible'land uses, obsolete structuring, inadequate parking, inadequate land uses and
townscape planning,
-r-C-(.
-d '~r)
,~

Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area
Five Year Implementation Plan Page 7
The program to relocate the City's Public Works Yard will provide a six acre parcel in a prime
location for major commercial redevelopment. This program will address incompatible land
uses (current usage), the need to recycle under-utilized parcels to accommodate higher and
better economic use and "the need to promote continued redevelopment in the downtown
business district,
The program to expand City Hall parking addresses inadequate parking facilities.
VI. EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOALS. OBJECTIVES. PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES
WILL IMPLEMENT PROJECT HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
A. Goals and Objectives
California's Community Redevelopment Law requires that not less than 20% of all tax
increment generated by the Project shall be used for the purpose of increasing or improving
the community's supply of very low, low, and moderate income housing. The law requires
that at least 15 % of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed with housing assistance
by entities other than the Agency in a Redevelopment Project Area be affordable to low and
moderate income households, of which 40% must be for, and occupied by, very low income
households. Additionally, affordable dwelling units shall remain affordable for the longest
feasible time (usually 55 years) but no less than the period of land use controls established
in the Project plan.
B. Projects and Expenditures to be Made During the Next Five Years
1. Annual housing production goals have been established Citywide. See Citywide
Housing Goals attached as Exhibit C.
2. Estimated number of low/moderate income housing units to be destroyed in years 1-5:
. 48 Mobilehome Units
. 15 Apartment Units
3. Replacement Housing site
. The replacement housing site within the project area is the current
location of the Sweetwater Union High School District headquarters,
This facility is planned to be relocated within the next 3-4 years. The
site is zoned R1-P, low density housing. Comprising 7,93 acres, the site
can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning.
For additional replacement housing sites in the City, see Exhibit C.
4, Low/Moderate Housing Fund Expenditure Program
. The Town Centre II Redevelopment Project redistributes 20% of the tax
increments accruing from the Project Area to the Agency's
Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund. Estimated deposits and
expenditures are included in the Agency's Housing Plan, see Exhibit C.

VII. CONCLUSION
Adoption of the Implementation Plan shall not constitute an approval of any specific program,
project or expenditure and does not change the need to obtain any required approval of a
specific program, project or expenditure from the Agency or community. The projects
described in the Implementation Plan are examples of undertakings which will meet the goals
and objectives of the Redevelopment Project, Other projects which meet program
requirements may also be pursued by the Agency,
This is the initial Implementation Plan for the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project, This
Plan will be reviewed by the Agency at least once within the five year term of the Plan. The
review including a noticed public hearing, will take place no earlier than two years and no later
than three years after adoption of this initial Implementation Plan.
The Agency will hold a requisite public hearing and adopt a new Implementation Plan every
five years from the date of adoption of the Initial Plan.
The Implementation Plan may be amended by the Agency at any time following a noticed
public hearing,

provisions of Section 33413 do not apply to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project. The
implementation plan is being prepared and adopted in accordance with the recently enacted AS
1290 legislation and addresses the housing production requirements. The key requirements of the
legislation that this section of the implementation plan addresses are:
. A description of the Agency's specific housing related goals and objectives for the project
area, including specific programs, possible projects, and expenditures for the next five years.
. A discussion of the Low {Moderate Income Housing Fund including the amount in the Housing
Trust Fund, amounts to be deposited in the next five years and anticipated expenditures.
. Proposed locations suitable for replacement housing units in instances where plan activities
trigger the need for such units.
. .
. A description of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will implement the
low and moderate income housing set-aside and housing production requirements of the law,
including an annual housing program.
. A description .of how these goals, objectives, programs and expenditures will increase and
improve the inventory of low and moderate income housing units.
II. HOUSING PLAN - CHAS AND HOUSING ELEMENT
The City of Chula Vista has adopted a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) per
the requirements for communities receiving funds from the U.S. Departme'nt of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The CHAS, which was adopted for the period January 1, 1994 to December
30, 1999, includes:
. Identification of the existing and projected housing needs and establishment of goals, policies,
objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing to meet
the needs of all economic sectors of the community.
. Description of the resources (human and financial), markets and strategies intended to meet the
housing needs of the community.
. Investment decision-making guides for elected officials, program administrators, community
organizations and banks, housing developers and concerned citizens.

. Long-term (Five Year Strategy) and short term (Annual Plan) guides which describe the general
priorities, plans and allocation of federal, state, local and private resources and funds,
The CHAS provides the City with estimates of current and future housing needs. Specific activities
intended to provide assistance to the community were identified in the CHAS including goals,
policies and program objectives to address the current and future need.
The policies, goals and objectives for both the City's Five Year Strategy and One Year Action Plans
are predicated on both the CHAS and the Chula Vista Housing Element, . The Housing Element,
adopted March 3, 1992 as part of the General Plan, contains an in-depth evaluation of the
demographic, economical and social characteristics of the City along with projections and trends
impacting housing and community needs, The broad goals established as part of the Housing
Element are:
. To promote and ensure the provision of adequate housing for all persons regardless of income,
age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background or other arbitrary factors.
. To promote and ensure the provision of housing selection by location, type, price and tenure.
. To promote and ensure the development of a balanced residential environment with access to
employment opportunities, community facilities and adequate services.
Taking these goals and Chula Vista's specific needs into consideration, the Housing Element
describes all of the housing-related programs being implemented in Chula Vista, including:
residential rehabilitation activities, new construction of affordable units, housing assistance
programs for the aged and disabled, assistance programs for owners and renters, and fair housing
and affirmative marketing.
The City of Chula Vista,in cooperation with the City's Housing Authority and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, implements and administers the various housing programs developed
through the CHAS and the Housing Element to address housing needs, .
Household Income Levels
The CHAS identifies categories of community members needing assistance and establishes priorities
based upon the findings compiled during the data gathering phase of the strategy development. The
specific income groups being targeted are very low income, low income and moderate income
households, which are defined by using the San Diego County median income level as the basis.
The County median is determined annually, and is adjusted for household size. Based on the 1994
median income of $45,400 for San Diego County (assuming a 4 person household), the income
groups are as follows:
Income level Percent of Median 4 Person HH Income
Very low 0% to 50% $0-$22,700
low 51 % to 80% $22,700-$36,320
Moderate 81%t0120% $36,321-$54,480
Specific activities intended to provide Musing assistance to target income groups were identified
in the CHAS and given priority rankings.

Housina Needs
The unmet housing need in Chura Vista is Quantified in the Housing Element based on the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
These numbers indicate the following housing need by income group as of 1991:
Income level Housino Needs as of 1991 Housina needs as of 1 994
Very low 1232 1125
low 628 610
Moderate 131 131
However, these calculations don't take into consideration the 107 very low income and 18 low
income housing units that have been developed through financial assistance of the Agency. Taking
these figures into account, the current housing needs for the five year plan are as shown above to
the right.
III, HOUSING FUND (TWENTY PERCENT SET ASIDE) REQUIREMENTS
As part of the Agency's efforts to meet its unmet housing needs, tax increment housing set aside
funds have been and will continue to be used to create affordable housing' units. The estimated
amount of tax increment housing set-aside available for fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99 for
the combined project areas is $5,964,051. Table 1 on page following estimates the yearly tax
increment by project area.
The total revenues to be deposited over the five year period are estimated at $5.9 million. The
beginning balance in the low and moderate income housing fund as .of July 1, 1994 was
$1,704,436. Thus, $7,668,358 in funds are projected to be available over the five year projection
period.
Allocation of Funds to Proarams
The Allocation of these funds are presented in Table 2. Based 6n existing programs and pro forma
cost projections for new and rehabilitated units, up to 175 additional units could be created over
the five year period. Funds are allocated among newly constructed and rehabilitated units as
follows: .150 new housing units; and 25 rehabilitated housing units,
IV. EXCESS/SURPLUS
As defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 33334,12(g)(1), an agency has an
excess/surplus at any time that unexpended and unencumbered monies in the Agency's low and
moderate income housing fund exceed the greater of $1,0 million or the total funds deposited in
the low and moderate income housing fund over the preceding four fiscal years.
For the purposes of complying with the current mandate, the Agency must determine whether an
excess/surplus existed as of July 1, 1994. This is determined by comparing the unencumbered
balance of the low and moderate income housing fund as of July 1, 1994, to the sum of the
property tax increment housing set-aside dep'osited into the fund between fiscal years 1989-90
through 1992-93. If the amount of unencumbered funds in the account exceeds the sum of the
deposits, the Agency has an excess/surplus. '

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency deposited $2,792,234.00 to the low and moderate
income housing fund between fiscal years 1989-90 and 1992-93. Comparatively, the
unencumbered balance of the low and moderate income housing fund was $1,704,436.00
as of July 1, 1994. Thus, no excess/surplus currently exists.
The annual plans included in this five year implementation pian call for the entire available
balance in the low and moderate income housing fund to be expended annually. Thus, it is
not anticipated that the Agency will experience excess/surplus at any time point during the
five year planning period,
, These units include housing units to receive minor rehabilitation through Agency assistance. The
majority of the units are rnobilehomes.
'These units will be discussed later in the report, They are units the Agency plans to displace in the next
five years due to redevelopment projects,

V. REPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Section 33413(a) of the California Health and Safety Code requires that whenever units
housing persons of low and moderate incomes are destroyed or removed from the low and
moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, the Agency shall within
four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct for rental or sale,
to persons of low and moderate income, an equal number of replacement units. At least 75 %
of these replacement units must be made available at an affordable housing cost f~r the same
income level as the household that was displaced,
The Agency incurred an obligation to replace 157 units that were demolished as a result of
redevelopment activities in the various project areas, This figure excludes units displaced in
the Agency's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1 974 and
is not subject to the replacement housing requirement. Of the 157 units displaced, 104 were
very low income trailers (one bedroom), 27 units were low income (one bedroom) and 26
units were low income (two bedroom),
The replacement units must meet the following minimum income standards:
Unit Type Income Level Number of units
1 bedroom very low 78
1 bedroom low 20
1 bedroom low or moderate ~
'c Total 131
Unit Type Income Level Number of units
2 bedroom very low 0
2 bedroom low 20
2 bedroom low or moderate -.2. "
Total 26
The above units were replaced with the following 184 very low and low income housing units
built with Agency participation on a Citywide basis. These projects are the following:
Proiect Number of units by bedroom
Town Centre Manor 59 (58 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Dorothy Street 22 (22 three bedrooms)
Silyercrest 75 (74 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom)
Civic Center Barrio 28 (6 one bedroom, 13 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom)
The projects listed above contain 166 very low income and 18 low income housing units.
These units fulfill the Agency's replacement obligation for the 157 housing units displaced in
the past, Moreover, a surplus of very low and low income housing units was constructed
beyond the requirement that 75% of the units removed after September 1, 1989 be replaced
with units having an equal or greater number of bedrooms and be available at an affordable
housing cost for the same income level as the household that was displaced.

Projected Housino Disolacement and Develooment Activities
In the next five years, there exists the possibility of 65 additional units being displaced due
to potential redevelopment activity as follows:
Proiect Area Number of Units disolaced
Town Centre I None
Town Centre" 48 low income mobilehomes & 15 low income apts
Southwest None
Otay Valley Road 2 low income sinqle familv homes
TOTAL 65 low income units
The above 65 housing units add an additional development obligation of 65 low income
housing units by the Agency,
Replacement Sites
The following is a breakd'own of possible housing replacement sites and housing developments
in project areas for the next five years,
Town Centre I
. The Windmjll Farms site is zoned Central Commercial!R-3 High Density Residential.
2,65 acres. No housing development is expected on this site in the next five years.
Town Centre"
. The Sweetwater Union High School District headquarter is planned to be relocated
within the next 3-4 years. The current site is in zoned R1-P, low density housing,
comprising 7.93 acres and can accommodate 18 housing units under this zoning. This
housing should be affordable to moderate income persons and could be developed in
the next five years.
Southwest
. Possible sites for future housing development may be located within the Woodlawn
Park, Broderick's Otay Acres and southwestern Dorothy Street communities.
However" no housing development is planned at this time to be developed in the next
five years.
Otav Vallev Road
. All land in project area is zoned for light industrial development. There are no suitable
housing sites within the project area.
"The Agency is not currently planning any activity which would result in
the loss of these units.

Affordable Housino Production Onclusionarv) Reauirements
Section 33413(b) (1 ) and (2) of the California Health and Safety Code imposes inclusionary
requirements on all housjng units built in Redevelopment Project Areas, whether developed
by the Agency or by private entities. For the project areas adopted on or after January 1,
1976, the following restrictions apply:
1, At least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated housing units developed by a
redevelopment agency must be affordable to persons of low and moderate income. Not
less than 50% of those units (15% of the total) must be available to very low income
persons,
2. For units developed by other public or private entities, at least 15 % of the units must be
affordable to low and moderate income persons; not less than 40% of these units must
be made affordable to very low income persons.
Affordable units created outside of the project areas may be counted toward this requirement
on a 2 for 1 basis. In other words, if the Agency develops two affordable housing units
outside of a project area, only one of the two housing units can be counted toward overall
Agency production.
Within the City of Chula Vista, all of the project areas are subject to the housing production
requirements excluding the Bayfront Project Area which was adopted July 16, 1974. These
requirements must be met every ten years in the aggregate, but are planned for on a five year
basis.
Past Housina Develooment Activities
A total of 344 housing units have been built in all the project areas by entities other than the.
Agency generating an inclusionary housing requirement for 21 very low income units and 31 ..
low or moderate income units. The breakdown of the 344 housing units by project area is
as follows:
Total 15% of Required Completed Required Completed
Proiect Area Units Total Low/Mod Low/Mod Verv Low Verv Low
Town Centre I 235 35 21 71 14 0

Southwest -.ft .....1 ...Q -1 -1 ...Q
TOTAL 344 52 31 72 21 0
Between 1980 and 1990, the Agency provided financial assistance to 72 low and moderate
income units and no very low income units. Thus, at present the Agency has a surplus of 41
low and moderate income units and an obligation for the development of 21 very low income
units.

Aqencv Assisted Housino for Next Five Years
For all the redevelopment areas in the City, it is estimated that 18 moderate income units of
housing should be developed in next five years. This project was referred to above in the
Town Centre II replacement site selection. These units have the following affect to the
Agency's current deficit housing situation in Town Centre II:
Low/Mod Income Verv Low Income
Existing Deficit in Town Centre II 10 6
Impact of TCII Housing (18 units'): -2. -1
New Deficit in Town Centre II 12 7
As shown below, the 18 moderate income units when construc~ed in the next five years will
create an additional surplus of 16 low and moderate income units for the Agency and an
obligation for the development of one additional very low income unit.
Total 15% of Requjred Completed Required Completed

, Section 33413 states that 15 % of the 18 TC II units must be affordable to low and
moderate income and that 40% of the low/mod units must be affordable to very low income.
In this case, 18 X 15% = 3 low/mod units. (3 X 60% = 2 low/mod units) (3 X 40% = 1

VI. LINKAGE OF HOUSING SET ASIDE FUND EXPENDITURES WITH NEED
The City of Chula Vista, through the development of CHAS and Housing Element of the
General Plan, has determined that there is a need to provide and encourage the development
of very low, low and moderate income housing throughout major portions of the City, The
planned use of the Housing Funds in the Project Areas will be undertaken in accordance with
these policy documents, and will continue to be expended to fulfill these established goals and
objectives. The use of these funds will directly increase and improve the supply of affordable
housing within the City of Chula Vista.
