On June 16, 1994, Mr. Michael Anderson and Mr. Derrick O'Neal
filed claims against the city of Chula vista for personal injuries they
received in connection with a shooting incident involving members of the
Chula vista Police Department. Both claims seek damages within the

and violation of his civil rights. Mr. O'Neal alleges he was injured
when police officers failed to identify themselves, falsely arrested him

ITEM TITLE:
Resolution /757Y Amending City Investment Policy and
Guidelines
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance M
REVIEWED BY: City Manager..Jt ~ ~
(4/5ths Vote: Yes _No---2LI
The City has an existing Investment Policy and Guidelines to insure the prudent
management of idle cash. (Exhibit A) It is recommended that the Council adopt a
resolution amending the Policy and Guidelines to add the option of depositing funds
in the County of San Diego Treasury for investment on a pooled basis with other local
entities. It is also being recommended that the Annual Statement of Investment
Policy to the Council currently required by the Policy be deleted in favor of the detailed
monthly statements currently provided. The amended policy being recommended is
attached as Exhibit B.
RECOMMENDATION:
Policy and Guidelines.
That Council adopt a resolution amending the Investment
BOARDS & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION: The City's Investment Policy and Guidelines is intended to provide
direction for the prudent investment of temporarily idle cash, and for maximizing the
efficiency of the cash management process. The stated goal is to enhance the
economic condition of the City while insuring the safety of funds invested. The policy
includes a list of specific investment instruments available under the relevant
California Government Code provisions, 53600 et. seq. and 53635 et. seq. In
addition to specific instruments, investment in the Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF), an investment pool administered by the State Treasurer is also included.
On March 24, 1987, the County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 11,
allowing local agencies within the County to deposit idle cash in the $4.0 billion
County Treasury for investment on a pooled basis with other local entities, similar to
the LAIF arrangement. In addition to all local public school districts and numerous
independent special districts, there are currently thirteen cities (Exhibit E) with money
invested in the County Treasury. The investment policy for the County Treasury is
9-/
Page 2. Item
Meeting Date 7/26/94
,
structured in accordance with substantially the same State statutes that guide the
City's policy, and is included as Exhibit C. A snapshot of the County Treasury
portfolio as of July 1, 1994, is included for information as Exhibit 0, showing
seventy-five percent of the pool invested in securities issued or insured by the Federal
Government and the remaining twenty-five percent invested in highly secure and liquid
securities authorized by State statutes.
Although structured very similar to LAIF, the County pool has consistently
outperformed the State pool due to the very active management of the County
Treasurer-Tax Collector. The difference can be significant as illustrated by the
comparative performance of the two pools over the five months from January, 1994
through May, 1994. The average earnings rate for the LAIF pool was 4.31 percent
versus the County pool average rate of 5.90 percent. Since during that same time
frame, the City maintained an average balance in excess of $30 million invested in the
State pool, the difference in interest revenue to the City would have been
approximately $196,000.
The current Investment Policy and Guidelines includes a requirement for the Director
of Finance to annually render a Statement of Investment Policy to the City Council.
Since the Policy already requires a monthly investment report to the City Manager and
City Council, including very specific and detailed information on actual investment
experience, the annual report is thought to be redundant, and therefore unneccesary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact, but may result in an undetermined increase in interest revenue
to all City funds.

CITY OF CHULA VISTA
INVESTMENT POLICY AND GUIDELINES
1. PURPOSE
This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the
City's temporary idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of
the City's cash management system. The investment goal is to enhance the economic
condition of the City while insuring the safety of funds invested.
2. OBJECTIVE
The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast
expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent
possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield on its investments consistent
with the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
3. POLICY
The Finance Director is responsible for investing the surplus funds in the City
Treasury in accordance with the California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq.
and 53635 et seq. The City operates its temporary idle cash investments under the
prudent man rule (Civil Code Sect. 2261, et seq.) which states, in essence, that "in
investing... property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall exercise the judgment
and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion
and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs... "
The three principle factors of safety, liquidity and yield are to be taken into
consideration when making investment decisions.
A) Safety. Safety and the minimizing of risk associated with investing refers to
attempts to reduce the potential for loss of principal, interest or a combination
of the two. The City invests only in those instruments that are considered
very safe.
B) Liquidity. Liquidity refers to the ability to convert an investment to cash
promptly with minimum risk of losing some portion of principal or interest. A
portion of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities
- 1 -
EXHIBIT A
"". /"
r/~
which can be converted to cash if necessary to meet disbursement
requirements.
C) Yield. Yield is the average annual return on an investment based on the
interest rate, price, and length of time to maturity. The City attempts to
obtain the highest yield possible, provided that the basic criteria of safety and
liquidity have been met.
4. INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
The City of Chula Vista may invest in the following instruments under the guidelines
as provided herein:
A) Certificates of Deoosit. Time Certificates of Deposit will be made only in
FDIC or FSLIC insured accounts. For deposits in excess of the insured

5. DIVERSIFICATION

to maximize safety and yield with changing market conditions. Local financial
institutions will be given preferential consideration for investment of City funds
consistent with the City's objective of attaining market rates of return, and consistent
with constraints imposed by its safety objectives, cash flow considerations and State
laws.

INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
1. T-BILLS
Direct obligations of u.s. Government
Three month and six month duration
2 . T-NOTES
Direct obligations of u.s. Government
Maturities up to 10 years
3. FEDERAL AGENCIES
In addition to direct obligations of U. S. Government, a
variety of Federal Agencies issue their own securities. Most
carry full faith and credit guarantees. This category
includes issues of Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (FHA
and GNMA), Export-Import Bank of U.S., Farmers Home
Administration, Government Services Administration SBA and
Tennessee Valley Authority.
4. FEDERAL INSTRUMENTALITIES
u.s. Government has sponsored creation of a variety of
enterprises that operates as separate corporate entities.
Underlying security varies by issuer. As with Agency
securi ties, marketability of many sponsored corporations' debt
is limited. Examples are Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA), Federal Intermediate Credit (FIC) Banks,
Federal Home Loan Banks, and Federal Land Banks, and Federal
Land Banks.
5. COMMERCIAL BANK CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT
CDs comprise backbone of many government portfolios because of
their familiarity, their direct issuance by traditional
government depositories, favorable legislation, flexible
maturities, and money market rates of returns for larger
deposits.
6. BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE
Banker's Acceptance are negotiable time drafts drawn to
finance the export, import, shipment or storage of goods, and
they are termed "Accepted" when a bank guarantees to pay the
face value of maturity. A Banker's Acceptance constitutes an
irrevocable obligation of the accepting bank and a contingent
obligation of the drawer and of any endorsees whose name
appear on it. The bank is protected by its customer's
EXHIBIT A
7~1
2
agreement to provide the necessary funds in advance of the
maturity of the Acceptance and also by the pledge of documents
such as bills of lading, independent warehouse or terminal
receipts, and other documents evidencing ownership and the
insurance of the goods so financed.
Typically created from a letter of credit in a foreign trade
transaction. Example - a u.s. corporation planning to import
goods from abroad requests that its bank issue a Letter of
Credit on its behalf in favor of the foreign supplier. This
letter allows the foreign vendor to draw a draft on the
importer's u.s. bank for payment of the merchandise. Upon
receipt of the letter and draft, the supplier ships the goods
and presents the draft at its bank for discounting, allowing
the supplier to receive immediate payment for the shipment.
The foreign bank then forwards the draft to its u.s.
correspondent. At this point, the draft is stamped
"accepted", with the U.S. bank incurring an obligation to pay
.the draft (now a bankers' acceptance) at maturity.
The accepting domestic bank may buy the acceptance, earning
the discount between the purchase price and face amount to be
reimbursed by the U. S. importer. On the other hand, the
acceptance may be sold to a third party, freeing the bank of
all but the contingent liability, for which it collects a
small fee. The acceptance - secured by the bank, the goods
themselves and the importer becomes a money market
instrument.
In 70 years of use in U. S., the Bankers' acceptance has
experienced no principal loss to investors. Maturities range
from 30 to 180 days.
7. COMMERCIAL PAPER
Short term unsecured promissory note issued for a specific
maturity. Used primarily by corporations to finance
receivables. Maturities from 3 to 270 days. Generally the
paper is backed by a credit line to refund the notes in the
event the issuer is unable to roll the paper over at maturity.
Presently over 1000 corporate entities issue commercial paper.
Quality varies considerably so investors closely follow credit
ratings issued by Standard & Poor and Moody.
8. LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND
Created by the State Legislature in 1976 in order to allow the
pooling of monies from all local agencies statewide into one
fund for purposes of investing, agencies may deposit funds in
LAIF for a length of time determined solely by the depositing
EXHIBIT A

agency. The state Treasurer may invest the monies in LAIF in
eligible securities for state investments for the purpose of
achieving the highest return consistent with safe and prudent
treasury management.

INVESTMENT POllCY
INTRODUcnON
The investment policies and practices of the Treasurer-Tax Collector are based on state law and
prudent money management. The policies of this office will always comply with the legal
authority and limitations placed on it by the governing legislative bodies. The implementation
of these laws, allowing for the dynamics of the money markets, will be the focus of this policy
statement. The policies of this office have three primary goals:
1) To assure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws governing the
investment of monies under the control of the County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
2) To protect the principal monies entrusted to this office.
3) To generate the maximum amount of investment income within the parameters of
prudent risk management while providing the necessary liquidity for participants.
The monies entrusted to the County Treasurer-Tax Collector (the Fund) will be an actively
managed portfolio. By this we mean the Treasurer-Tax Collector and his staff will observe,
review and react to changing conditions that affect the Fund. This shall be viewed as a full time
responsibility by the Treasurer-Tax Collector and his staff. The authority to execute investment
transactions that will affect the Fund will be limited to:
Treasurer-Tax Collector
Chief Deputy Treasurer
Investment Manager
Assistant Investment Manager(s)
The Treasurer and the above staff will meet on a regular basis to discuss current market
conditions and future trends and how each of these affect the Fund and the County.

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO
EXHIBIT C
SAN DIEGO COUNTY TREASURER
INVESTMENT POllCY
The purpose of the Treasurer's policy is to implement the legislated parameters of the investment
authority of the Fund. As an elected official of the County of San Diego, the Treasurer-Tax
Collector believes it prudent to manage public monies in a way that is consistent with sound
investment practices. These policies are designed to safeguard monies entrusted to this office
while earning the maximum return on investment. To have a policy which only concerns itself
with maximizing return 'is a very dangerous course. The basic concept of investment return is
based on a risk/reward relationship. Therefore, the higher the return, the higher the risk. This
is why risk management must be an integral part of any investment policy. The Policy stated
below will concern itself with risk management. Policy issues will be directed to 1) limiting the
length of maturity for securities in the portfolio, 2) limiting the Fund's exposure to each issue
and issuer of debt, and 3) determining a minimum credit requirement that firms must have in
order to hold County money. Below, we will address each category of permissible investments
individually as they appear in Government Codes 53601, 53635, 53637, 53638, 53652, and
53653.
GOVERNMENT OBllGATIONS - The Fund invests in two categories of Government
Obligations; U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations. Both are issued at the federal level.
U.S. Treasury obligations are bills, notes and bonds issued by the Treasury and are
direct obligations of the federal government. Agency obligations are notes and bonds of
federal agencies, government sponsored enterprises, and international institutions.
Agencies are not the direct obligation of the Treasury but involve federal sponsorship or
guarantees.
- Maximum Maturity - The maximum maturity of an issue shall be the current S
year issue or an issue which at the time of the investment has a term remaining
to maturity not in excess of 5 years.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issue - The maximum exposure to the portfolio of a
single issue shall be 5 % of the portfolio value.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issuer - The maximum exposure to the portfolio for an
individual issuer shall be;
1) Treasury - Unlimited, Treasury securities are the safest haven for
investments in the world.
2) Agency - No more than 25 % of the portfolio value shall be invested
in any single issuer.
- Minimum Credit Requirement - None; U.S. Treasury and Agency securities are
the highest credit in the world.

Moody's - Aa
Standard and Poor's - AA
NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT - These are issued by commercial banks
and thrift institutions against funds deposited for specified periods of time and earn
specified or variable rates of interest. Negotiable certificates of deposit (NCD) differ
from other certificates of deposit by their liquidity. NCD's are traded actively in
secondary markets.
- Maximum Maturity - The maximum maturity of an issue shall be 5 years.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issue - The maximum exposure to a single issue shall be
2.5 % of the portfolio value.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issuer - The maximum exposure to a single issuer shall
be 5 % of the portfolio value.

from one of these rating firms:
Fitch - CD I or AA
Moody's - PI or Aa
Standard and Poor's - Al or AA
Thomson Bank Watch - domestic banks - C
foreign banks - IIIIIIIV
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - A repurchase agreement (RP) consists of two
simultaneous transactions. One is the purchase of securities by an investor, the other is
the commitment by the seller to repurchase the securities at the same price, plus interest,
at some mutually agreed future date.
- Maximum Maturity - The maximum maturity of repurchase agreements shall be
1 year.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issue - The maximum exposure to a single RP issue shall
be 10% of the portfolio value for RP's with maturities greater than 5 days, 15 %
of the portfolio for RP's maturing in 5 days Or less.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issuer - The maximum exposure to a single issuer of RP
shall be 10% of the portfolio when the dollar weighted average maturity is greater

7 -c2 /
EXHIBIT C
5 days or less.
- Delivery of Collateral - Issuers shall deliver the underlying securities to either the
County's safekeeping bank of a mutually agreed upon third party custodian bank.
When a third party custodian is used, it will be the custodian's responsibility to
transfer funds and securities between the seller and purchaser in accordance with
the terms of the repurchase agreement.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - Reverse repurchase agreements (RRPs) are
essentially the mirror image of RPs. In this instance, the County is the seller of
securities and the broker or bank is the investor. Due to the nature of RRPs, the policy
regarding this instrument is different from the above RP policy.
- Maximum Maturity - The maximum maturity of a reverse repurchase agreement
shall be 182 days.
- Maximum Exposure Per Issue - The maximum exposure to a single RRP issue
shall be 5 % of the portfolio value.
- Maximum Exposure of Portfolio - No more than 25 % of the portfolio shall be
invested in RRPs at anyone time.
- Maximum Exposure Per Dealer - No more than 10% of the portfolio shall be
invested in RRPs with anyone dealer at anyone time.
- Purpose of RRPs - The use of RRPs shall be limited to investing the proceeds
from the agreement into another permissible security. The maturity of the RRP
and the maturity of the security purchased shall be the same, except where the
security purchased has a variable rate, the maturity of the RRP and the reset date
of the security purchased shall be the same.
- The custodian bank under contract is authorized to execute RRPs only under the
guidelines listed above except the maximum exposure of portfolio does not apply.
COLLATERALIZED CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT - This is the deposit of funds
made by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector in state or national banks or state or federal
savings and loan associations or fcdcral credit unions or FDIC insured industrial loan
companies in California. The deposit of the funds will be made under the following
conditions:
- The deposit may not exceed the total of the paid-up capital and surplus of a
depository.
- The depository must maintain securities with a market value of at least 10% in
excess of the total amourit of the Treasurer-Tax Collector's deposits. These
securities will be placed in the institution's pooled collateral account and
monitored by the State Treasurer of California.
- The Treasurer-Tax Collector '.vill waive the fIrst $100,000 of collateral for each
depository, so long as that amount is insured by an agency of the federal
government.
- The Treasurer-Tax Collector will select depositories from those agreeing to pay
the highest available rate of interest. In the event that the highest available
-4-
9 --;2cJ-
EXHIBIT
interest rate is offered to the County by more than one depository, the following
criteria will be applied to determine which will receive County deposits:
1) If the deposit is a renewal of an already existing deposit it will be
extended with the same mstitution.
2) If the funds available are insufficient to match the request of banks
and savings and loan associations, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will
distribute a fair share of the available funds to the institutions on the
basis of the ratio of their total deposits to deposits within San Diego
County.
3) When two institutions offer the same rate of interest, the Treasurer-
Tax Collector will give consideration to the institution that has the
best performance in making home mortgage loans within the low and

Resolution / J511 - Accepting Bids and Awarding Contractfor
Five Vehicle Exhaust Extrication Systems
Director of Finanje/l-f'
Fire Chief !IJ k{ ~
City Manager~ ~ :-
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
Bids have been received for the purchase and installation of exhaust extrication
systems at Fire Stations 2,3,4, and 5 pursuant to the previously-approved Capital
Improvement Program projects. Due to current economic conditions, all bids received
were lower than anticipated, generating some significant savings. A portion of these
savings is proposed to be applied to the exhaust extrication system at Fire Station 1
which is in need of upgrade.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the bids and award the contract to Comfort
Zone Air Conditioning & Heating Service, Inc.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Proiect Background
CIP projects PS 131 and PS 135 were approved by the Council in FY 1992-93 and FY
1993-94 respectively. The projects' scope involves the purchase and installation of
vehicle exhaust removal systems at Fire Stations 2,3,4, and 5. The purpose of the
system is to capture the toxic exhaust fumes generated upon engine start-up and
exhaust them, via ducting attached directly to the tailpipe of the fire apparatus, to the
outside atmosphere. The result is an apparatus bay and surrounding interior
living/office space breathing environment which is free from contamination. A total of
$70,000 was appropriated for these projects.
Proiect Bids
Bids were advertised and mailed to four prospective vendors with the following bids
received:

Meeting Date 7/26/94

Amount
Comfort Zone Air Conditioning & Heating Service, Inc.
Spring Valley
$45.766.03
Pottorff Company Inc.
Montebello, CA
47,708.00
AAir Purification Systems
San Diego
56,238.00
Bid specifications called for a system that would efficiently capture exhaust fumes directly
at the tailpipe of the diesel fire truck and transfer those fumes to the outdoor atmosphere.
A walk-through was conducted of the four stations with the three bidders present two
weeks prior to the bid opening. Specifications also required a list of customers for which
the bidder had installed similar systems.
Comfort Zone Air Conditioning & Heating Service Inc. submitted the low bid on the
Nederman "Magnatrack" System. The model which was bid is presently in operation in fire
stations within the City of San Diego. The other references out of the county were
contacted and each stated their continued recommendation of the system. The Chula
Vista Fire Chief therefore recommends the purchase from the low bidder.
Current Station #1 System
The system currently in use at Station #1 is the Nederman "Simple System" and was top-
of-the-line in 1989 when it was installed. This system works moderately well in capturing
exhaust emissions on motor start-up, but because of the truck room configuration and
usage, the system disconnects from the vehicles before they fully exit the facility, causing
large volumes of the toxic emissions to be exhausted into the area and into the remainder
of the building. City employees and general public visitors use the truck room to enter and
exit the station, and this results in unnecessary human exposure to diesel exhaust fumes.
The current system will be able to accommodate the new ladder truck scheduled for
delivery in January, 1995, but due to the new truck's longer overall length, the exhaust
system hose will be stretched to the limit causing potential for added wear and tear to this
hose.
Proposed Uograde of Station #1
With a portion of the savings generated by PS 131 and PS 135 bids, it is proposed that
much-needed improvements be made to the Station 1 system. The proposed upgrade
would include repositioning of the ceiling exhaust fans and related duct work, and
installation of the newer technology, Nederman "Magnatrack" system. The hose assembly
ItJ -,(
Item Jd
Meeting Date 7/26/94
on this system will travel with departing vehicles to the exit doors before releasing,
maximizing exhaust emission capture and release to the outside atmosphere through the
roof ducting. The proposed system also has the capability of being hooked-up to the
vehicle prior to station re-entry in order to capture emissions before engine shut-down,
thereby further reducing breathing environment contamination. The bid for this system
upgrade is $17,500. Staff has also evaluated remedial actions available to mitigate this
problem but has found no other effective solutions.
Items considered in this proposal:
1. Maximizing a safe breathina environment for emolovees and visitors.
2. Minimizing Maintenance Problems/Costs: New technology and materials will
significantly reduce maintenance problems (maintenance costs alone will be
reduced through the 2-year warranty). Significant cost savings have already
been realized because of in-house repairs and maintenance, but current
system is in need of major repairs estimated at $4,000 to $5,000.
3. Proiect Cost: This upgrade will be more cost-effective if done in concert with
PS 131 and 135 projects (original estimate for the Station 1 project was in
excess of $20,000 when bid separately).
4. Svstem Standardization: The systems in all the stations will be standardized
with the same manufacturer and model.
As previously stated, a total of $70,000 was budgeted for the purchase and installation of
the four systems included in the CIP projects. With the purchase cost $24.233.97 be/ow
budget estimate, staff requested a bid from the low bidder to retrofit Fire Station 1 with the
Nederman "Magnatrack" in lieu of the existing Nederman "Simple System". Station 1 has
three truck bays where Stations 2, 4 and 5 have two, and Station 3 has only one.
Retrofitting would specifically consist of the following:
1. Removal of existing system.
2. Relocation of existing exhaust fans.
3. Modify existing duct work and installation of back draft
dampers.
4. Installation of "Magnatrack" support system and three
tracks.
5. Modification of electrical wiring.
Staff recommends that Council approve the upgrade of the Fire Station 1 exhaust
extrication system with the budget savings from CIP projects PS 131 and 135.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are provided for the purchase and installation in CIP Accounts 600-6003-PS131
and PS135. The purchase cost will be $45,766.03. The upgrade will cost $17,500, for a
total of $63,266.03 (a savings of $6,733.97, to be returned to the CIP fund balance).

Resolution Allowing Closure of Third Avenue from "E" to "G"
Streets for the Third Avenue Arts & Crafts Festival on August 14, 1994,
Waiving Sidewalk Sales Ordinance, and Waiving Business License Fees
for Downtown Business Association and Vendors Participating in Event
Director of Community If\elopment t "S I
City Manager~ .~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No _KJ
Item / ~
Meeting Date 7/26/94
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The Chula Vista Downtown Business Association is requesting permission to close Third Avenue
between "E" and "G" Streets in order to conduct the Third Avenue Arts & Crafts Festival on
Sunday, August 14, 1994, from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. This will be the fourth annual festival
that the DBA successfully conducts in the Downtown Area. The festivities for this event will
include live entertainment along with approximately 100 arts & crafts and food booths.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a resolution which:
1. Allows the closure of Third Avenue from "E" to "G" Streets on August 14, 1994,
subject to conditions listed in Exhibit A of the resolution; and
2. Waives the City's sidewalk sales ordinance; and
3. Waives business license fees for the DBA and vendors taking part in the event.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Downtown Business Association (DBA) is requesting the following:
. The closure of Third Avenue on Sunday, August 14, 1994 from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
(a formal letter of request is attached); and
. A waiver of sidewalk sales ordinances; and
. A waiver of business license fees for DBA and vendors taking part in the event.
The closure of Third Avenue will affect the flow of traffic in the downtown area. Therefore,
DBA will be required to contact the City's Traffic Engineer and prepare a traffic detour plan,
to the Traffic Engineer's specifications. This plan shall be presented to the Engineer by July
29, 1994. The City's Transit System will also be affected. Staff spoke with the Transit
Coordinator and he has agreed to the closure as long as "E" and "G" Streets remain passable
for traffic. The DBA is aware of this stipulation and will abide by it.
J~"'I
Page 2, Item I;"
Meeting Date 7/26/94
During the May 1993 festival, the DBA and the City received complaints from the area residents
regarding the noise level created by some of the music activities. However, the activities of
May 1994's festival did not create any problems because noise levels were constantly monitored
by the DBA. Thus, no complaints were received by the DBA or the City. In order to continue
to prevent noise levels from becoming excessive and creating discomfort to area residents, the
DBA has agreed to take the responsibility of making sure that the level of noise does not become
excessive. To accomplish this, the DBA will implement condition number 4 listed below.
The DBA has requested that the business license fees be waived for the Festival. The fees
involved are a fee of $250 assessed to the sponsoring organization (DBA) and a $5 fee for each
participating vendor.
In the past, the City has waived the business license fees for the DBA and vendors taking part
in the one day event in order to encourage participation. The rational for waiving the fee is that
the Festival is expected to attract many people to the downtown area which will promote the
downtown businesses. The resulting effect will be the generation of additional commercial
activity and increased sales tax revenue to the City. Waiving the business license fees will
encourage vendor participation. Since having a large number of vendors will help insure the
success of the 1994 Arts & Crafts Festival, staff recommends the waiver.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the DBA's request subject to the following
conditions:
1. The DBA shall provide for adequate traffic and crowd control, as determined by the
City's Traffic Engineer and Police Department. The cost will be paid for by the DBA.
The DBA must prepare and submit to the Traffic Engineer, two weeks in advance of the
street closure, a plan for managing traffic on the day of the event;
2. The DBA shall provide adequate litter control during and after the event, including
professional street sweeping. Expenses for this service will be paid by the DBA;
3. The DBA shall notify all property owners and tenants (including businesses and residents)
that will be affected by the street closure. The notification must be done ten days prior
to the event date;
4. The DBA will be responsible for taking measures to insure that the noise generated by
the event's activities does not reach an excessive level; the DBA will undertake the
following measures in order to implement this condition:
A) DBA shall continually monitor noise levels of performing bands, stereos, and
other sound-emitting devices and will make adjustments as needed.
B) A plan showing the location of the performing stages will be submitted for City
staff review and approval.
C) All band performances shall be limited to the hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
):J....,)....
Page 3, Item I)"
Meeting Date 7/26/94
D) The DBA shall incorporate these rules into the contracts with all event
participants and make sure that they abide by them.
5. In order to meet the requirements of the Fire Marshall, the alleyways between "E" Street
and "G" Street, east and west of Third Avenue, shall remain open and unobstructed for
the purpose of fire apparatus access in the event of an emergency. The Fire Marshall
has required that all food-cooking vendors have a 2AIOBC-type Fire Extinguisher readily
available in their booths;
6. In order to meet the requirements of the Fire Marshall and the Transit Division, "E" and
"G" Streets must remain open to traffic;
7. The Downtown Business Association must provide, 14 days prior to the Festival,
evidence of general liability insurance in the amount of $1 million, in the form of a
certificate of insurance and policy endorsement satisfactory to the City, naming the City
of Chula Vista as additional insured; and
8. The Downtown Business Association must execute an agreement to hold the City
harmless from any liability stemming from Festival activities in the street.
In the past the City Council has requested information regarding the impacts of special events
on the area businesses. The impacts of the Third Avenue Country Festival on downtown
businesses are anticipated to be positive. It will bring hundreds of people to the downtown to
shop on that particular dav. It will also expose new visitors to the downtown businesses. and
those visitors will Dotentially come back to shop.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will incur the administrative costs of processing this request. The
DBA has requested that the business license fees be waived for the festival. The fees involved
are a fee of $250 to the sponsoring organization (DBA) and a $5 fee for each participating
vendor. By waiving these fees, the City will forego approximately $750 in fees. The DBA will
pay for costs related to special police for traffic/crowd control, special personnel for trash
control, street cleaning, sidewalk cleaning, and any additional costs or labor.

Dear Chris,
Re~ 1994 Third AVfml~ Fe.oval
The Third Avenue Festival will be held on SUllday, AUgIIst 14 from 10 a.m.
until
6 p.m.. We would like to close Third Avenue to through traffic between E Street
and G Stftet from 5 a.m. \mti18 p.m.. Attached b: a tentative map mdy for your
review.
During the Third Avenue Festival last year, we experienced some problems with
excessively loud muslc beins played by one of our businesses and from one of the
stages. After nllll1CroUS complaints from adjacent vendors and businesses, we
requested the volumebe tumcddown sothatvendo::scould talk with their customers.
Our ~uests were repeatedly denied.
The inclusion of language in ourconditional use pemUtforCoU1ltl:y Fest 94 enabled
us to deal with excessive music or noise during the event. The DBA plans to contrOl
all tIuee stages this year and that should eliminate tb e problems we had with the stage
last year.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Sincerely,
'~ary

ATTACHMENT TO AGREEMENT
1. DESCRIPTION
Chula Vista 1994-95 CDBG Funding for Shared Housing Program
will be used to promote and maintain a Shared Housing Program
where two or more persons share living arrangements and share
in housing related expenses, or exchange services in lieu of
rent, thereby serving both their financial and social needs.
The Shared Housing program often assist handicapped or frail
elderly by providing a sharer who can provide home services
in lieu of rent. This will allow the owner to remain in
their home rather than become institutionalized.
In the 1993-94 contract years Shared Housing assisted 112
persons by placing them in a home-sharing arrangement.
Of this number 79 or 70% were Chula Vista residents.
Shared Housing is a non-profit organization providing a
free service to seniors, including handicapped and frail
elderly, and low and moderate income persons.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
1, Tracy Holleron, mother of Trevor Holleron wish to express my gratitude
and at the same time thank you for giving me the assurance that Trevor and I have
received from your establishment. Being a single parent, in the low income
bracket, without your program for low income individuals, I would not be able to
send Trevor to an establishment with such qualities and standards as those at the
Chula Vista Connection.
As a parent I am particular in the care given to my son and I am quite
satisfied with your excellent care. I can go to work with a peaceful mind knowing
Trevor will receive the best care possible and if for any necessary reasons I will be
notified immediately if the need arises.
Again thank you for offering the opportunity to give Trevor the discipline,
helpfulness and care that your efforts put forth.
Sincerely,
~~
Tracy Holleron

To whom it may concern:
This letter is to commend and say thank you to the excellent office
staff and administration at Chula vista Connections.
I am a single parent and my biggest worry since I started working
is finding adequate and affordable Day Care for my son Austin. I
have had to change Austin's Day Care on several occasions in the
last year because it was either cost prohibitive, or inadequate as
far as care was concerned. Since he has been attending Chula vista
Connections I have been able to rest assured that he is well taken
care of at a cost that is affordable to me as a single parent. The
teachers and teacher's aides are always kind, helpful and efficient
and are able to get down to a child's level of thinking. The
center is always clean and cheerful and provides a nutritional diet
on a daily basis for feeding the children.
Once again, thank you Chula vista Connections for being there. If
there is anything I can do as a parent, to help the center continue
to run efficiently, please advise.

Dear Chula Vista City Council:
Largely because of the overwhelming success of THE CHULA VISTA
CONNECTION, a daycare center at 73 North Second Avenue, council members
should seriously reconsider the availability of financial grants to support this facility.
Elizabeth "Liz" Stillwagon the president and coordinator of the daycare center has
assembled a staff of dedicated teachers who provide a stable foundation from which
children grow. Through the heartfelt concern of each staff member, be it the
maintenance personnel, teachers, nurse or Liz, my three year old child is exposed to a
learning environment second to none in this city. The center is open from 6 AM to 7
PM. Monday through Friday and provides:
- Low cost, high quality child care
- Hot nutritious breakfast, lunch, and dinner with snacks in between the major
meals.
- Care for children 18 months to 12 years old (they pick-up and drop off the
school age children at their respective schools)
- A playground, storybook reading, singing etc... in a comfortable surrounding
for all children regardless of religious, social, or economic make-up.
- For me personally, within two weeks my son was off the bottle, potty trained
and relieved of his dependence to a security blanket all when he was less than two
years old. He hasn't looked back since.
My enthusiasm runs high over the potential this daycare center has for our community.
The historical building that once stood empty is turned into a useful facility filled with
warm energy of children in a structured environment. It's no Taj Mahal but it serves
our needs with a dedicated staff that will make these kids our community leaders
someday. Don't take my word for it_go see it for yourself.
I ask again that the grants available to support this cause be reexamined to determine
the best needs of Chula Vista.
Sincerely,
{~P(JA~ ,

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

(4/5 Vote: Yes_No X )
ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
McMillin Company, in the process of developing the subdivision around the new Discovery
Elementary School, has built roadways near the school that are essential to the arrival and departure
of school buses, private cars, deliveries, and emergency vehicles. The vehicles are using streets
which have not been accepted into the public system for maintenance and McMillin has a concern
over the liability. The "Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction" (Green Book)
provides a method for the City to take over the use of these streets before their final acceptance.
The City Attorney recommends that the City Council review this procedure and authorize the City
Engineer to exercise the City's right to take over early use of new streets.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Engineer to exercise the
City's right to take over and utilize Camino Biscay from Rancho Del Rey Parkway to east of
Discovery School.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
In the course of developing the "Biscay" Subdivision in Rancho Del Rey, SPA I area, McMillin
constructed a portion of the streets necessary to provide service to the construction traffic for the
developing subdivision. Because the subdivision has 106 lots and McMillin's guest builder could
not build homes on all those lots initially, they constructed only a portion of the streets. Those first
streets have been completed, but the remaining streets have not been constructed. Therefore, the
City could not accept the streets because the conditions of the Subdivision Agreement have not been
met and we can not release the bonds, nor do a partial acceptance without amending the agreement.
Attached is a map showing the streets that have been completed (Exhibit A). The City will accept
all of the streets and release the bonds after all the streets in the subdivision have been completed.
Until that time McMillin, or their guest builder, is responsible for maintenance of the streets and
liability for any accidents that may occur on them.
Discovery Elementary School is located adjacent to the subdivision on lot 78 as shown on Exhibit
A, but takes access off of Camino Biscay, one of the main entrance streets to the subdivision. While
McMillin had the legal right to barricade the street and prevent any outside traffic from using the
street, they indicate this would create severe conflicts with the School District, since they need access
to the school. In addition, McMillin's guest builder opened Via Goya for construction traffic, but
the school buses and parents bringing their children to school began using that street to access the
1'1-/

Meeting Date 7/26/94
school as well. With this considerable amount of public traffic on the streets, McMillin is concerned
about the liability should an accident occur and have requested the City to take over part of the
streets to allow them to be continued to be used for school traffic. Attached as Exhibits B and C is
McMillin's letter requesting the City to take over the streets and a map showing the specific portions
of streets requested to be taken over.
City staff has reviewed the request and concurs that the portion of Camino Biscay from Rancho Del
Rey Parkway to the east end of the school should be taken over by the City as being in the public
interest. The remaining streets that McMillan is requesting that we take over, however, has
considerable construction traffic on it and the potential conflict with public traffic is a liability that
staff does not believe the City should incur. UDC, McMillan's guest builder, is currently building
houses on Via Goya and adjacent to Avenida Solaria with all construction traffic moving freely over
that area. McMillan currently has fences located on Via Goya at Rancho Del Rey Parkway and on
Camino Biscay at the east end of Discovery School. Staff has discussed the situation with McMillan
and recommended to them that either one of the fences could remain closed to prevent through
traffic. Slides of the area are available for Council's viewing.
Section 6-10 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book) provides
for the use of improvements during construction. This section states that the agency reserves the
right to take over and utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance. It further
provides that such action by the agency will relieve the contractor of responsibility for injury or
damage to the completed portions of the facility resulting from the use by public traffic, but does not
relieve the contractor from full responsibility for correcting defective work or materials. When the
Green Book is primarily aimed at the right of a City to take over facilities being constructed under
direct contract to the City, McMillin's contract work is being done under the Green Book
specifications. After consultation between McMillin, the City Engineer and the City Attorney, the
City Attorney has concurred that this process could be used to take over the streets to permit
continued access to the school. McMillin will also be responsible for maintenance of the streets until
the City accepts them after completion of all the work in the subdivision. All bonds will also remain
in placed until they are formally accepted.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no major fiscal impact unless an accident takes place and the City
is sued. Such costs are no more than would ordinarily be incurred by the City after the street if
formally accepted in the City's system. Since McMillin will continue to maintain the streets and will
need to correct any deficiencies before acceptance, therill be no other tiscal impact.

RE: PUBLIC USE OF COMPLETED IMPROVEMENTS
Dear Mr. Swanson:
Attached for your reference are two maps of the subject area, and two sample letters from the
City of San Diego which illustrates their use of SectIon 6-10 of the Standard Specification for
Public Works Construction to exercise its right to utilize completed improvements prior to full
completion of all improvements under a specific agreement. Also included is a copy of
SectIon 6-10 and my letter to the City Attorney dated 6/21/94.
Please proceed to prepare the necessary agenda item for July 19, 1994 Council meeting to
make the following streets available for public use:
Camino Biscay - From RDR Parkway to Avenida Solaria
Avenida Solaria - From Camino Biscay to Via Goya
Via Goya - From Avenida Solaria to RDR Parkway
These streets were completed prior to the opening of the elementary school in 1993 to
facilitate the public necessity of the school operation. Now, homes are occupied on Lots 46,
47, 48, 50, 51 and 52, on Camino Biscay and the construction activity associated with
additional housing is continuing. The school buses, delivery trucks, parents and teachers in
private cars, visitors to model homes and the residents all combines to create a level of public
necessity beyond the responsibility of the developer. We do not want to close the streets so
we are requesting that the designated streets be made available for public use under section 6-
10 of the "Green Book" for public works construction.
Your help in expediting this action is appreciated.
Yours truly,
{cff~:1r

Authorizing the purchase of Transit buses on
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
The FY 1994-95 Transit Division budget provides for the purchase of two (2) heavy duty
transit buses. Council Resolution #6132 authorizes the City to participate in a cooperative bid
with other governmental agencies. The City is able to obtain the two buses via the County of
San Diego option on Purchase Order #30163 adopted by the Board of Supervisors on June 7,
1994.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution authorizing the purchase of two (2)
heavy duty transit buses from Gillig Corporation, Hayward, CA.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The last bus purchase by the Transit Division was in FY 91-92 for four (4) buses. Demand
for transit service since then has increased 13.5% from 2,026,000 total ridership in FY 91-92
to an estimated 2,300,000 total ridership in FY 94-95. In order to meet this service demand,
it is necessary to purchase two (2) additional buses. In spring 1993, the County of San Diego
issued a Request for Bid for four (4) 35-foot buses. The County Purchasing Department
solicited bids from qualified bus manufacturers nationwide, and sent bid documents to five
prospective bidders. One bid was received, from Gillig Corporation, Hayward, CA in the
amount of $222,066 per bus. According to County staff, other potential bus manufacturers
declined to submit a bid either because of the relatively small order of four buses, or because
of production commitments to other transit systems.
Included in the County's bid document was an option to purchase up to six (6) additional buses
by June 30, 1994. The unit cost of these additional buses under the option is $225,419.68, an
increase of less than 2% from the original bid price of $222,066. The total cost of $450,839.36
for the two CVT buses is $41,160.64 below the $492,000 contained in the FY 1994-95 Transit
Division budget.
Attached for Council's information (Attachment 1) is a picture of the Gillig Phantom bus. The
San Diego Transit Director of Maintenance has reviewed the County of San Diego's
specifications and recommended one change - that the ZF transmission be changed to an
Allison B400R. In addition to this change, Transit staff requested Gillig to change General
Electric radios to Motorola for the CVT purchase since our current radios on CVT buses are
/f"/
Page 2, Item /5
Meeting Date 7/26/94
manufactured by Motorola. Gillig has responded to the Transit Coordinator that these two
changes can be made at no additional cost to the City.
The addition of two Gillig buses to the CVT fleet will increase the fleet size to 33 buses
produced by four manufacturers: 2 Gillig, 4 Chance Trolleys, 4 Goshen, and 23 Orions
manufactured by Bus Industries of America. The CVT contract operator, San Diego Transit,
concurs with this bus purchase and does not foresee any problems associated with the addition
of two buses to the CVT fleet which are not manufactured by the present three manufacturers.
San Diego Transit has 155 Gillig buses as part of its total fleet of 308 buses, and its mechanics
are experienced in maintaining this vehicle. (112 Gilligs were purchased by SDT in 1991, and
43 were purchased in 1983. All 155 Gilligs are diesel powered.) In addition, many of the
major components used in heavy duty transit buses (such as engine, transmission, suspension,
etc.) are the same among different manufacturers.
The specifications for the Gillig buses cover all the City's requirements, and include air
conditioning, an electronic destination sign, and a Series 50 Detroit Diesel engine which meets
the current California Clean Air Act emissions requirements. It is estimated that the buses will
be delivered in six months and will be used for service expansion to Route 709 serving the
Eastlake Library and Eastlake area generally.
In evaluating past fleet purchases for the City, the City Council has requested that staff
determine the feasibility of using alternative fuel systems such as compressed natural gas
(CNG). This was done also for the proposed bus purchase Attachment 2 is a chart which
compares the emissions for the Series 50 Diesel engine and the Series 50 Compressed Natural
Gas engine against the 1994 California Standards for four emissions: hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates. The Series 50 Diesel engine not only meets the
California 1994 standard for these four pollutants, but has lower emissions than the CNG
engine for three of the four pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulates).
In addition to evaluating emissions regarding the feasibility of purchasing an alternative fuel
bus such as CNG for Chula Vista Transit, the Transit Coordinator contacted Gillig and San
Diego Transit concerning the capital and operating cost differences between the Detroit Diesel
Series 50 engine and CNG. In terms of capital cost, Gillig estimated that a CNG powered bus
with the same specifications as those buses being purchased by the County would cost at least
$40,000 more than a bus with the Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine, or approximately $80,000
more for the two buses. San Diego Transit staff indicated that recent bids on 40-foot CNG
buses in other transit systems have been $300,000 or more per unit. In addition to the higher
capital costs for CNG buses, San Diego Transit has estimated that the addition of two CNG
buses to the CVT fleet would increase annual maintenance cost under the City of Chula Vista
contract by $50,000 annually due to more frequent and costly maintenance requirements for
CNG vehicles versus diesel vehicles. Based upon the above, staff is not recommending the
purchase of the CNG vehicles.

FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 1994-95 Transit Division budget provides $492,000 for two
transit buses. The purchase cost for two Gillig buses under the County of San Diego option
will be $450,830.36. The cost of the bus purchase is funded by the Transportation
Development Act (TDA) Article 4.0 funds.

Uniform Fare Structure
ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
The Uniform Fare Structure Agreement incorporates three major cooperative functions among
area transit operators under Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) jurisdiction:
a cash fare structure; transfer procedures; and regional tickets and passes, including distribution
of revenue among operators. This agreement, which has been in effect since 1981, usually is
amended annually due to changes in cash fares or prices for regional passes. The FY 1994-95
agreement was approved by the MTD Board of Directors on June 23, 1994. The primary
changes to the agreement for FY 1994-95 are price increases for some regional passes. MTDB
requires participation in this agreement as a condition for receipt of Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funds in accordance with Section 99284 of the Public Utilities Code.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution approving Uniform Fare Structure
Agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
This agreement coordinates transit service for fixed route and dial-a-ride transit operators under
MTDB's jurisdiction receiving TDA Article 4.0 and 4.5 funds. Coordination functions include
transfers among operators, establishment and maintenance of a uniform fare structure, and
revenue distribution to operators from regional tickets and pass sales. The following fixed
route operators participate in this agreement: County of San Diego Transit System (CTS);
MTDB contract operators; National City Transit (NCT); North County Transit District
(NCTD); San Diego Transit (SDT); San Diego Trolley (SDTI); and Chula Vista Transit (CVT).
The TDA Article 4.5 funded dial-a-ride operators, including Chula Vista HandYtrans, were
added to the agreement in FY 1992-93 to provide Complementary Paratransit Service for the
Article 4.0 funded fixed route operators in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). ADA certified passengers may transfer between fixed route and dial-a-ride services
by paying the appropriate fare as specified in the agreement. The fares differ depending on
the fixed route system used and the distance traveled.
/~~/
Page 2, Item IV
Meeting Date 7/26/94
The primary changes to the FY 1994-95 agreement are price increases of some monthly passes.
The reason for the increase is to raise revenue to cover part of the anticipated operator funding
shortfalls in the MTDB region in FY 1994-95. Most CVT riders who purchase monthly passes
use the following three types: LocallUrban Zone pass; SeniorlDisabled pass; and Youth pass.
These passes permit unlimited ridership on regional bus systems and the Trolley. The
LocallUrban Zone pass increased $1.00, from $48 to $49; the SeniorlDisabled pass increased
$0.25, from $12 to $12.25; and the Youth pass increased $2.25, from $22 to $24.25. Cash
fares remain the same, which on CVT are: regular adult fare, $1.00; senior/disabled fare,
$0.75; youth fare $0.75; and special fare on Route 706/706A ("Downtowner"), $0.25.
Participation in this agreement enhances coordination among various operators in the region,
resulting in better service to the public, and also provides a mechanism for distributing regional
pass revenues among operators. Pass sales revenue is distributed among operators based on
passenger boardings. For example, CVT drivers record each passenger who boards a bus with
a pass. At the end of each month, total revenue from pass sales in the region is divided among
operators based on each operator's percent share of total pass boardings.
FISCAL IMPACT: CVT's share of regional pass sales revenue in FY 1993-94 (fiscal year
ending June 30, 1994) is estimated at $666,800, or approximately 50% of CVT's total
estimated fare revenue of $1,327,090. Staff estimates that CVT will receive at least this same
per cent of regional pass revenue in FY 1994-95.

1.2 Backaround
1.2.1 In accordance with the requirements of Section 99282.5 of the
Public Utilities Code, the MTD Board of Directors and the SANDAG
Board of Directors adopted resolutions on June 23, 1980 and
July 21, 1980, respectively, establishing a Transfer Policy for
all operators receiving Article 4 Transportation Development Act
(TDA) funds in the MTDB and SANDAG jurisdictions. As a result
of these actions, a Master Transfer Agreement was originally

1.2.2 To further coordinate transit service, the Regional Ready Pass
Agreement was originally executed on July 1, 1981 and renewed,
as appropriate, to provide for acceptance, administration,
sales, and revenue distribution of the regional Ready Pass.
1.2.3 A Uniform Fare Structure was also established in the MTDB area
in July 1981 providing for coordinated base fare levels for
Local, Urban, Express, and Dial-A-Ride services. In July 1988,
the Regional Ready Pass Agreement, the Master Transfer Agree-
ment, and agreements related to the acceptance, administration,
sale, and revenue distribution of $1.00 10-Pack/$1.50 10-Pack
tickets and Day Tripper passes were formally incorporated into
the Uniform Fare Structure Agreement.
1.2.4 The ADA became federal law in July 1990. MTDB submitted an ADA
Complementary Paratransit Plan to the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) in January 1992. The plan, signed by the
transit operators listed in Section 1.1.1 (except for NCTD),
sets forth the requirements and fare structure for the comple-
mentary paratransit services, to be operated by the Dial-A-Ride
services listed in Section 1.1.3. NCTD has submitted a separate
ADA Complementary Paratransit Plan to the FTA for its area of
jurisdiction.
1.3 Mutual Aareement
As a result of the background described in Section 1.2, it is mutually
agreed among all operators, MTDB, NSDCTDB, and SANDAG that this Uniform
Fare Structure Agreement is established, which incorporates a base fare
structure agreement, a transfer agreement, and a regional tickets and
passes agreement.
1.4 Responsibilitv for Maintenance of Aareement
Maintenance of this Agreement shall be the responsibility of each of the
operators and shall be a condition for continued receipt of TDA funds in
accordance with Section 992B4 of the Public Utilities Code. Through

4.8 ADA Comolementarv Paratransit Service Transfer Considerations
Under the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
transfers between fixed-route bus and trolley services can take place at
bus stop and station locations of choice of the ADA service passenger.
As long as the ADA passenger can board and/or deboard at a chosen stop
or station location, (i.e., the wheelchair lift can be deployed) there
are no restrictions as to where the passenger may transfer. Providers
may suggest, but cannot require, that transfers between fixed-route
services and the ADA paratransit services take place at the major
transfer locations as shown in Attachment G.
The fare upgrade (from the fixed-route bus or trolley to the ADA
paratransit service) will only be paid on the ADA paratransit service
vehicle, not on the fixed-route vehicle. This is an exception to the
HTDB policy to allow passengers to pay transfer fares on the first or
second vehicle
A transfer received upon any fare payment on a fixed-route vehicle will
be worth a maximum of 75 cents toward the payment of the fare upgrade on
the ADA complementary paratransit vehicle.
-11- / t - /7
A $12.25 Senior/Disabled Ready Pass or any other higher value pass used
to board a fixed-route vehicle will be worth 75 cents toward the payment
of the fare upgrade on the ADA complementary paratransit vehicle.
No 10-Pack tickets, Day Trippers, tokens, or other prepaid fare media,
as described within this Agreement, will be accepted as fare on the ADA
paratransit service vehicle.
The above considerations do not apply to NCTD.
Transfers between NCTD lift service and MTDB complementary paratransit
services are allowed. For ADA services, a transfer slip issued from
NCTD lift service shall be valued at $3.00 (double the $1.50 value as
established in Section 4.3)

REVENUE ALLOCATION FOR
TRANSFER UPGRADE ON FIRST VEHICLE POLICY
Beginning July I, 1988, the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) operators
implemented a policy to allow passengers to pay transfer upgrade fares on the
first Q! second vehicle. (Previous policy required upgrade payment on the
second vehicle only.) The new policy meant that operators previously
receiving upgrade fares may no longer receive them, and those not previously
receiving upgrades may now collect the revenue. Due to this, area operators
conducted a transfer survey in 1987 to estimate which operators would be
impacted, negatively and positively, by the new policy. Based on the results
of the 1987 survey, four positively impacted operators (San Diego Transit,
Chula Vista Transit, National City Transit, and County Transit System) agreed
to allocate revenue to San Diego Trolley, Inc., (the only negatively impacted
operator). Set monthly revenue amounts were deducted from each operator's
monthly pass revenue/TransNet subsidy check, and the sum of the deductions
were added to Trolley's monthly check. The formulation, based on the
1987 survey, continued until June 30, 1994.
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), in cooperation with the
area operators, conducted a 1994 transfer survey. Based on this work and
additional information from the operators, a change in the allocation
procedures will be put into effect. As of July I, 1994, the four operators of
local bus services (Chula Vista Transit, National City Transit, County Transit
System, and MTDB Contract Services for Routes 933/934 only) will allocate
revenue to San Diego Trolley, Inc., to compensate for transfer upgrade
payments based on an actual monthly accounting of transfer upgrade revenue
received on their services. The operators listed will report actual amount of
transfer upgrade activity on page I, line 9, of Attachment I. Monthly revenue
amounts, to be calculated by SANDAG, will be deducted from each operator's
monthly pass revenue/TransNet subsidy check and the sum of the deductions will
be added to San Diego Trolley, Inc.'s, monthly check.

ADULT PASS
REVENUE ALLOCATION FORMULA
PROCEOURE DESCRIPTION
The base pass price of $49 is retained from all $49, $54 and $59 passes sold.
The $62, $67, and $72 passes are not part of the formula except that three
percent of the total revenue from the $62, $67, and $72 passes is retained for
the region and combined with the $49 base revenue. (The three percent
represents the transfer rate on the County Transit System Express routes that
accept the $62, $67, and $72 passes. County Transit System Express keeps all
the remaining $62, $67, and $72 pass revenue.) The base pass revenue is then
allocated to each operator that accepts $49 through $59 passes based on the
operator's percentage of regional pass boardings for all adult passes. Then,
revenue for each $5 pass price increment from the $54 and $59 passes is
allocated proportionally to those operators accepting that particular value or
a higher value (up to $59) pass.

REVENUE ALLOCATION FORMULA
1. IO-Pack ticket revenue allocation is to be calculated separately for the
following ticket types: $1.50 10-Pack tickets, $1.75 10-Pack tickets.*
2. All revenue from ticket sales is allocated each month, regardless of the
relationship between ticket sales and use.
3. Each operator's monthly ticket boardings for a particular month are
calculated by averaging the current month's and past two months'
boarding counts. (Thus, the ticket boarding counts are a revolving
average.) SANDAG will calculate the average monthly boarding counts.
4. Each operator's monthly percent share of ticket revenue is determined as
follows:
o Average monthly ticket boardings for operator "x" + total average
monthly ticket boardings for all operators combined.
5. Ticket revenue allocated to each operator is determined as follows:
o Percent share of monthly ticket revenue (from Step 3) for
operator "x" multiplied by the total ticket sales revenue for that
month.
$2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 10-Pack ticket revenue (minus three percent
retained for the region) is allocated to San Diego County Transit System
Express services that accept the $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 IO-Pack tickets.

TRANSNET PASS SUBSIDY ALLOCATION PROCEDURE
OBJECTIVE
To allocate TransNet pass subsidies in a manner that ensures each operator
receives pass revenue (sales and subsidies) in an amount equal to pass sales
revenue received prior to TransNet.
STEPS
1.
Determine individual operator percent of countywide boardings (from
operator counts).
Allocate pass sales revenue based on Step 1.
Total MTDB area operator percent share to determine MTDB area share of
countywide boardings (NCTD share. remaining).
Determine pass sales attributable to MTDB/NCTD boardings.
(MTDB percent x number of countywide passes sold;
NCTD percent x number of countywide passes sold)
Multiply MTDB passes sold x SI2.25 (senior/disabled) or S24.50 (youth)
subsidy/pass. MTDB area TransNet subsidy pool (see below*). (NCTD
TransNet subsidy pool . NCTD passes x S determined by NCTD)
Recalculate individual operator percent share of boardings for MTDB area
only.
Apply operator shares to MTDB TransNet subsidy pool . individual
operator TransNet subsidy.
Steps 2 + 6 - total operator pass revenue.
*
Base price for senior/disabled is 50 percent of S49 pass. Therefore,
TransNet subsidy/pass is: S24.50 - SI2.25 pass revenue = SI2.25
subsidy/pass.
Base price for youth is 100 percent of S49 pass. Therefore, TransNet
subsidy/pass is: S49.00 - S24.50 pass revenue - S24.50 subsidy/pass.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item I 7
Meeting Date 7/26/94
Resolution I 7.5"8'(, Approving amendment to agreement between
the San Diego Transit Corporation (SDTC) and City of Chula Vista for
unified telephone information system
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public wor~ r
REVIEWED BY: City Manage.:J::j b~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
On July 19, 1980, the South Coast Organization Operating Transit (SCOOT) entered into an
agreement with San Diego Transit Corporation (SDTC) for regional transit telephone information
service. This service provides Chula Vista Transit (CVT) riders with information on CVT schedules
and routes and on all other fixed route transit systems in San Diego County. When SCOOT was
dissolved on July 1, 1993, the agreement for this telephone information service was changed in FY
1993-94 to be between the City of Chula Vista and SDTC. This amendment for FY 1994-95
continues CVT's participation in this regional service at a cost of $21,541, a 5.6 % decrease from
the FY 1993-94 cost of $22,766.
ITEM TITLE:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution approving amendment to agreement
between San Diego Transit Corporation and City of Chula Vista for unified telephone information
system for FY 1994-95.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The following transit operators participate in the regional telephone system operated by SDTC: San
Diego Trolley, North County Transit District, SDTC, County Transit Suburban, CVT, and National
City Transit. Chula Vistans receive transit information on all systems operating in the County. The
service is available seven days a week between the hours of approximately 5:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Under the FY 1994-95 agreement, SDTC estimates that the City's share of total system-wide calls
of 1,850,000 will be 45,000, or 2.44% oftotal calls, about the same as in FY 1993-94. The average
cost per call is about 48c ($21,541 """ 45,000 calls). A total estimated SDTC information system
cost for next fiscal year is $882,841, a 5.6% decrease from FY 1993-94. During FY 1993-94,
SDTC installed a new computerized telephone information trip planning system. The cost decrease
estimated in FY 1994-95 is due partially to cost savings resulting from the new computerized
information system.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Chula Vista's prorated share of the FY 1994-95 total regional
telephone information system cost is estimated at $21,541 (2.44% x $882,841). The cost of this
service is included in the FY 1994-95 Transit Division budget account 402-4020-5211 (Advertising)
which is funded by Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4.0 funds.

PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF ISSUE PAPER ADDRESSING
RANGE OF LAND USES TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT AND REZONING OF 68 AC. IN THE LOWER
SWEETWATER V ALL~~;1
Director of Planning //T__ S
Community Development DirectorL. '
REVIEWED BY: City Manag~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.lO
On February IS, 1994, the City Council directed staff to prepare a draft General Plan amendment which
would address a range of alternate land uses that could be considered for a General Plan Amendment
(GPA) on the 68 acre Lower Sweetwater Valley "Special Study Area," located at the southwest quadrant
of SR-54 and I-80S (see locator). To be included in the range of alternatives would be current
development proposals including a Water Demineralization Facility, a Senior Care Facility, a
Recreation/Fun Center Sports Complex and Veteran's Horne Facility. Council also requested that staff
include an open space alternative and information on potential funding sources for acquisition and
maintenance, including an assessment district and Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees. In
response to this direction, staff has prepared the attached General Plan Amendment "issue paper,"
(Attachment A) which describes several General Plan Amendment alternatives, and analyzes the other
issues identified by the City Council. Council directed staff to present the draft General Plan amendment
to various boards and commissions for comments, as well as the neighborhood, prior to returning to them
for further direction.
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
I) accept the Lower Sweetwater V alley General Plan Amendment Issue Paper, and direct staff to
coordinate the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report analyzing the five alternatives
contained therein, subject to any additions, deletions or changes to the alternatives requested by
Council;
2) direct staff to continue to work with area residents and the City's consulting engineer to refine
the open space assessment district concept described in the attached feasibility study.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The draft General Plan Amendment Issue Paper
for the GP A was presented to the Resource Conservation, Planning, Parks & Recreation and Housing
Advisory Commissions as well as the Ad Hoc Veterans Advisory Committee. A synopsis of their
comments are included in Attachment B to this report.

Meeting Date 7/26/94
DISCUSSION:
Background
On December 14, 1993, Council directed staff to conduct a neighborhood meeting for the purpose of
discussing the proposed process and to introduce the development proposals for the Lower Sweetwater
Valley. On January 27, 1994, a Town Meeting was held at Rosebank Elementary School which was
attended by approximately 80 people.
On February 15, 1994, as stated previously, the Council directed staff to prepare a draft General Plan
Amendment which would address a full range of alternatives including those land uses being proposed
as well as an open space alternative as requested by neighborhood residents. Subsequently, a petition was
submitted to Council, signed by over 100 residents, which requested that the City look at the retention
of the existing open space in the Lower Sweetwater Valley (see Appendix E of the Issue Paper).
On June 29, 1994, staff presented the draft General Plan Amendment Issue Paper to residents at the
Rosebank Elementary School. Copies of the draft Issue Paper were distributed to approximately 45
attendees and a number of questions were asked and responded to by staff. At that time the residents
were asked to review the document and respond with any comments in writing or attend the City Council
meeting scheduled for July 26 (see Attachment C for correspondence).
Issue Paper Contents
The General Plan Amendment Issue Paper discusses the history of zoning, General Plan, and annexation
actions affecting the project site, as well as a summary of environmental constraints currently affecting
the project site (i.e., Geology, Drainage, Biology, Noise, Aesthetics, Access and Emergency Services).
A range of five land use alternatives is described, a preliminary traffic analysis is presented, and open
space acquisition methods are discussed. In addition, recommended General Plan Amendment and zoning
actions are described for each of the five alternatives. Statistical modifications have been made to pages
26,28, and 29, and additional appendices have been added to the Issue Paper from the draft you received
previously. The following is a summary of the Issue Paper conclusions:
Environmental Constraints
Geology - Geologic features of the site would require special grading and foundation criteria but would
not preclude any of the proposed alternatives.
Drainage - Army Corps of Engineers documentation indicates that the flood gates in the Sweetwater flood
control channel have been conservatively designed to eliminate excessive ponding from the project site
in periods of heavy runoff. With completion of the flood channel the site physically has been removed
from the 100 year flood plain, however, federal flood insurance maps (FEMA) have yet not been
modified to reflect this. Drainage facilities would be required to convey runoff across the property to
the flood channel with any of the development alternatives.
1tl-,,2.
Page 3, Item 1$
Meeting Date 7/26/94
Biology - Although there is some wetland area that would either have to be designed around or mitigated,
it is not significant in size nor is the site considered to have any significant habitat on it that would make
any of the proposed alternatives infeasible.
Aesthetics - Any of the five alternatives ultimately selected should be looked at comprehensively for
potential strategic landscaping to enhance the site's high visibility.
Access - Vehicular access is limited to an access road connecting to North Second Avenue, and with
appropriate improvements at this intersection (traffic signal for Alternatives 4 & 5) it does not appear that
a safety issue will occur with anyone of the five alternatives.
Emergency Services - The Fire Department has indicated that access to the project site, solely from North
Second A venue will not create a problem. However, the need to provide adequate water to the site to
achieve appropriate fire flow requirements may result in significant costs. The Police Department has
indicated that a single point of access to the site is acceptable with anyone of the proposed alternatives.
Enviromnental constraints on the project site do not appear to be a deterrent to implementation of any
of the proposed land use alternatives.
Land Use Alternatives
The following is a description of five alternative land use scenarios discussed in the Issue Paper and the
rationale for each:
Alternative 1 - This alternative includes existing land uses for Parcels A and B (Child Carel Adult
Counseling and KOA campground, respectively) and open space on Parcels C and D. A proposed water
demineralization facility which is under consideration by the Sweetwater Authority is proposed to be
located on Parcel E. Consideration of this alternative is the result of a request by the adjacent
neighborhood residents to consider open space for the vacant land area.
Alternative 2 - The only difference between Alternative 2 and I is that the 5.59 acre, Parcel E, is
proposed as open space. This alternative is the least intensive and would result in the maximum
preservation of open space.
Alternative 3 - This alternative again proposes the same existing land uses for Parcels A & B; however,
a public park is proposed for Parcel C, open space for Parcel D, and the demineralization plant for Parcel
E. This alternative was developed in response to Council's request to evaluate the possibility of funding
acquisition of a portion of the undeveloped area through use.of park acquisition funds.
Alternative 4 - This alternative involves existing land uses on Parcels A & B, the demineralization plant
on Parcel E, and the Veteran's Home proposal with an adjacent public park on Parcels C & D. The City
Council's proposal to locate a Veteran's Home on Parcel D is still under active consideration, and for
this reason this proposal is being considered along with others. Although negotiations are occurring that
may result in the location of the Veteran's Home at another site, this alternative should continue to be
considered until a final siting decision on the Veteran's Home facility is made.
I~:J
Page 4, Item J~
Meeting Date 7/26/94
Alternative 5 - Existing land uses will remain on Parcels A and B; however, a proposal for development
of a Senior Care Facility and a Family Recreation/Fun Center in conjunction with a Senior Care Facility
is reflected on Parcels C and D, respectively. Again, the demineralization plant is proposed on Parcel
E. See the following Table for a composite listing of all the proposed alternatives:

Traffic Analysis
A preliminary traffic analysis was performed by staff on the five alternatives to determine if anyone of
them would result in a reduction of traffic thresholds beyond the acceptable Level of Service (LOS) C
(see Appendix H in the Issue Paper). The findings of this preliminary analysis indicate that none of the
alternatives proposed would result in impacts below LOS C on any of the City streets. However, it is
recommended in the study that a traffic signal be installed for alternatives 4 and 5, the more intensive
of the five alternatives.
Open Space / Park Acquisition
Open space acquisition issues are discussed, including the potential of an assessment district for the
acquisition and maintenance of a part or all of the existing vacant land on the project site. The City
contracted with BSI Engineering, a consulting firm, to perform a Preliminary Assessment District
Feasibility Study. This study examines and identifies a potential benefit area for spreading assessment
costs, then applies estimated costs, based on a recent land appraisal (see Appendix F of Issue Paper)
It: 9
Page 5, Item / '"
Meeting Date 7/26/94
performed for the vacant parcels as well as cost estimates for maintenance of the open space areas. The
study determined if costs were spread equally across the proposed benefit area that total assessments could
amount to $92 per year, per single family unit (EDU), over 25 years, for acquisition and maintenance
of just the 14.25 acre City of Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency parcel, or as much as $228 per year,
per EDU, for all 38 acres of vacant land as depicted in the following table (see also Appendix G in the
Issue Paper).

* - Acquisition costs estimated to be paid off in 25 years, assuming 7 % interest.
The potential acquisition of park land is discussed in the Issue Paper. The present levels of park land
deficiency (1.22 acres per 1,000 residents) in western Chula Vista is addressed in the paper.
Greenbelt
In addition to Open Space/Park Acquisition issues, the Issue Paper also addresses the need to integrate
planning on the Lower Sweetwater Valley site into the Chula Vista Greenbelt concept, presently
designated in the General Plan as a circumferential open space system extending through the Sweetwater
Valley. Trail access opportunities are discussed as well as visual relationships of the property site to the
Greenbelt.
General Plan Amendment/Zoning
Depending on the land use alternative which is finally selected, staff has identified two basic alternatives
for applying General Plan and zoning designations to properties within the study area, with the exception
of Parcel A (which is currently developed with child care / adult counseling land uses).
General Plan! Zoning Alternative A - The General Plan Amendment necessary to implement Land Use
Alternatives I through 3 would involve applying an "Open Space" designation. Zoning for the entire area
with these three alternatives would be "A" (Agriculture).
General Plan! Zoning Alternative B - In order to implement Alternatives 4 and 5 staff is recommending
that Parcels B, C, D, and E be given a General Plan designation of "Mixed Use." Under this alternative,
staff would also recommend that the City Council consider the creation of a new zone entitled "MU"
(Mixed Use) which would require the adoption of Specific Plan in order to implement. This modification
/~f'
Page 6, Item L$
Meeting Date 7/26/94
to the zoning ordinance would be to avoid confusion of applying underlying zoning designations which
would not accurately reflect specific land uses on the site. The Specific Plan could also tailor zoning
standards to this site to assure that aesthetic and buffering issues are addressed adequately.
The property containing the Child Carel Adult Counseling land uses (Parcel A) is located on the hill over
looking the valley, and is physically separated from the remainder of the study area. This property is
currently zoned R-3 (Residential Multi-family) and staff is recommending that the General Plan be
amended on each of the five alternatives to Residential Medium-High (11-18 du/ac).
ADDITIONAL ISSUES
Public Notification
Prior to the public forum held on June 29, staff prepared and sent notices to property owners a within
a minimum of 1,000 feet of the Lower Sweetwater Valley project site. The notice included the dates,
times and locations for subsequent advisory commission meetings, as well as a tentative date for a return
to the City Council (see Attachment F for noticing area map). Not known at the time of the original
public notice issuance was the assessment district benefit area boundary, therefore, notices were not sent
to the full extent of the draft benefit area boundary. As discussed earlier, the draft assessment district
boundary is preliminary and subject to change, as is the methodology and appraisal information contained
therein. It would be staff's intent to provide notice of future meetings regarding this study to all areas
included in any proposed assessment district boundary.
Public I Commissioners Input
Correspondence received by the date of this writing included the following issues (see Attachment D for
letters):
Issue - Disagreement with the assessment study on the methodology of an equal versus "tiered"
assessment approach. Concerns that the entire neighborhood be asked to protect property values of those
overlooking the site by subsidizing through assessments.
Response - The consulting firm of BSI Engineering indicated that it was their experience that the even-
weighted assessment method would best suit the proposed district. The study is viewed as a preliminary
analysis and staff recommends that if Council directs, additional analysis could be conducted of the
"tiered" approach prior to any final action.
Issue - No opportunity for all property owners within proposed assessment district to comment on
proposed district.
Response - The proposed assessment district benefit area is subject to additional analysis prior to any
final decisions. As noted earlier, notification of those property owners affected would occur at that time.
/~t
Page 7, Item d
Meeting Date 7/26/94
Issue - City should not make a profit on the sale of the Redevelopment Agency-owned parcel.
Response - The City's Redevelopment Agency purchased 14.25 acres from the County of San Diego with
Low and Moderate Income Funds for $165,000. However, if the Agency were to sell this property it
must be sold at fair market value, which has been estimated at $625,000 (appraisal amount). If the City
decides to move forward with an assessment district, one or more additional appraisals of the property
would be conducted.
Issue - If the open space considered for acquisition is part of the Chula Vista Greenbelt, then shouldn't
a City-wide assessment be considered?
Response - The Chula Vista Greenbelt concept is being implemented primarily through the acquisition
of property and trail easements in conjunction with development of adjoining property. The City has not
established any Citywide funding program for Greenbelt implementation at this time.
Additional issues expressed by the Resource Conservation Commission and the Planning Commission and
are reflected below:
Issue (RCC) - Two additional alternatives should be considered: a) Designate the KOA as a public park,
so that if the current owner ever decides to sell that the City would have first option as a park, and b)
An additional alternative which combines the Veteran's Home with the Senior Care Facility.
Response - Both General Plan Amendment Alternatives could be structured to permit a public park to
occur on Parcel B (KOA) if Council directs. The Senior Care Facility is linked to the Family
Recreation/Fun Center proposal, however, a response would have to be provided by the owner of the IPG
property (Parcel C), for this alternative to proceed.
Issue (RCC) - The City should make every effort to zone the unzoned portion of the study area.
Response - It is the intent of the City to rezone this property in conjunction with final adoption of a
General Plan Amendment.
In addition, several comments were made by the Planning Commission, Housing Advisory Commission,
and Veteran's Ad Hoc Committee, as shown in the Synopsis, which staff feels have been responded to
in the report or under previous comments. No additional responses are provided here; however, staff
will be prepared to provide additional comments as requested by Council at the meeting.
Conclusions
As indicated previously, there are currently three distinct proposed land uses being actively considered
by the City Council for the Redevelopment Agency-owned property within the Lower Sweetwater Valley
Study Area: I) Veteran's Home; 2) Family Recreation/Fun Center; and 3) open space. The five land
use alternatives described in the issue paper are reflections of these various proposals, and should
continue to be evaluated until the Council decides on the appropriate disposition of the Agency-owned
parcel. Therefore, staff recommends that Council: I) direct staff to coordinate the preparation of an EIR
/~-7
Page 8, Item 1$
Meeting Date 7/26/94
analyzing all five alternatives, subject to any additions, deletions or changes to the alternatives requested
by Council, and 2) direct staff to continue to work with area residents and the City's consulting engineer
to refine the open space assessment district concept described in the attached feasibility study (see
Appendix G of the Issue Paper).
FISCAL IMPACT: The project applicants for the Recreation/Fun Center and the Senior Care Housing
project will be requested to provide funding for costs associated with preparation and processing of the
GPA, EIR and subsequent discretionary permits. However, the City would be responsible for the portion
of those costs associated with consideration of properties for which project proposals are not currently
under consideration. Staff will return to Council with further information regarding the breakdown of
costs prior to issuance of a Request for Proposals for the Environmental Impact Report.

Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this issue paper is to respond to direction from the City of Ch'Jla
Vista City Council to examine the opportunities and constraints affecting a 67.82
acre area known as the Lower Sweetwater Va!ley Special Study Area ("project
area") and identify potential land uses that could be permitted by an amendment to
the General Plan. A range of potential land uses will be examined in this paper
along with potential General Plan designations and zoning necessary for
implementation. This paper will address neighborhood concerns, current General
Plan policies that may impact the subject property, and then be presented to the
City Council for authorization to prepare the appropriate environmental review
documents (CEQA) and process the requisite General Plan Amendment and
Rezoning.
2.0 PROJECT LOCATION
The project area consists of 67.82 acres, located at the southwest quadrant of
SR54 freeway and Interstate 805 (See Fig. 1). The property is divided into 5
separately-owned major parcels (See Table 1 l, of which 4 parcels are located
within the Sweetwater Valley and one parcel is located on a bluff overlooking the
other parcels and fronting directly on North Second Avenue. Located to the south
of the project area is a single family neighborhood with homes lining the southerly
boundary of 3 of the subject parcels (see Fig. 1, parcels A, B & C).
To the west of the project area is also a single family residential neighborhood,
across Second Avenue, with the exception of a 77-unit condominium project
located at 110 North Second Avenue.

3.0 REVIEW OF EARLIER ACTIONS AFFECTING THE LOWER SWEETWATER
VALLEY PROPERTY
3.1 General Plan
The entire project area is designated as "Open Space I Special Study Area" on the
City's General Plan Land Use Diagram updated in July, 1989. Prior to adoption of
the Special Study Area designation in 1989, the property was designated as "Open
Space" on the Chula Vista General Plan.

Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
In the text of the General Plan the Lower Sweetwater Valley property is recognized
as potentially a portion of, or a visual element adjacent to, the Chula Vista
Greenbelt. The Chula Vista Greenbelt concept was adopted by the City Council in
1989 as a continuous 28-mile open space link extending from the Bayfront, up the
Otay River and Salt Creek and the westerly edges of the Upper and Lower Otay
Lakes to the Sweetwater Valley, then extending down the Sweetwater Valley to
link up with the north/south Bay frontage. This Greenbelt is envisioned to contain
trails for, at a minimum, hiking and bicycling, and is also intended to provided a
further link to park facilities throughout the interior of the City. The Greenbelt will
be discussed in more detail later in this paper.
3.2 Annexation I Zoning
Approximately 88 acres of property, which included the 67.82 Lower Sweetwater
Valley property, was annexed to the City of Chula Vista in 1985. This annexation
of previously unincorporated property was approved largely as a result of the City
of Chula Vista being considered the appropriate jurisdiction to provide services to
the area and the physical separation of the property from other incorporated
(National City) and unincorporated areas (County). Additional property included in
the annexation at that time included the residential neighborhood located west of
North Second Avenue.
A portion of the area currently owned and operated by the KOA campground was
prezoned A (Agriculturel by the City of Chula Vista in 1978. The remaining portion
of the Lower Sweetwater Vailey that was subject to annexation, is located within
the flood plain of the Sweetwater River. and was not prezoned and remains
unzoned today. This area was to be zoned when a final General Plan land use
designation is determined for the Lower Sweetwater Valley property. In addition,
:\LOWSW.IP
, ~ - .3{)
-Pr--g- ~
3
Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
approximately 14.73 acres, consisting of the lower half of parcels A, Band C (see
Fig. 1), is currently zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential), this area having been
zoned with the neighborhood located to the south.
3.3 Prior Project Proposals
Prior to annexation of the property into the City of Chula Vista, the County of San
Diego had acquired the vacant property within the flood plain of the river for
purposes of including this area within the large Sweetwater Regional Park.
However, due to the fragmented physical relationship of the property to the core of
the Regional Park, caused by the presence of two major freeways, and a need for
the County to liquidate non-contiguous parcels to the Regional Park, the County, in
1989, sold the property to individual owners, including a portion to the City of
Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency for purposes of providing affordable housing.
In 1990, the City of Chula Vista proposed to provide a site for the relocation of
displaced mobile homes on 14.25 acres within the project area (parcel D). A draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was distributed for comment which examined
the environmental impacts which could potentially result from the proposed Mobile
Home Relocation Park. The draft EIR was never finalized and the proposed General
Plan amendment and rezoning necessary to accommodate the mobile home park
never occurred and the project was dropped. Also in 1990, the property owner of
18.24 acres (parcel C), located east of the KOA campgrounds and west of the City
of Chula Vista parcel, proposed a single family residential development project.
This proposal was also subsequently discontinued prior to issuance of a Draft EIR
and public hearings.

In March 1993, the City of Chula Vista made a commitment to the Veterans
AdministrAtion to pursue locating a proposed Veterans Home on the 14.25 acres
owned by the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency within the Lower Sweetwater
Valley.
3.4 Public Input
In 1990, with the distribution of the Mobile Home Park Draft EIR, the City received
a significant number of responses regarding the adequacy of the analysis contained
in that draft EIR as well as a petition containing approximately 600 names of
residents from the surrounding neighborhoods objecting strongly to the Mobile
Home Relocation' project. In response to the public's concerns regarding potential
impacts of the proposed Mobile Home Relocation Park the project was dropped and
the Draft EIR was never finalized.
In December, 1993, City staff, as directed by the City Council, held a public forum
at Rosebank Elementary School and provided notice to property owners
surrounding the Lower Sweetwater Valley to enable the public to examine a
number of development proposals that the City had received for properties located
within the vacant flood plain portion of the Lower Sweetwater Valley. A
significant amount of discussion occurred at the forum, attended by approximately
60 residents, including a significant interest in preserving the vacant land area
within the valley as open space.
At a City Council meeting in February. 1994, representatives of the adjacent
neighborhood again expressed their concerns to the Council and their desire for
open space within the vacant Lower Sweetwater Valley property. Subsequent to
this meeting, a petition was submitted signed by over 100 residents. which
:ILOWSW.lP
5
~1<l-3~
Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
outlined their desires, including the following (see also copy of petition in Appendix
E):
1. That existing vacant land be designated as natural open space,
2. That the unzoned property be zoned agricultural, and
3. That studies be prepared for the following assessment districts:
a. Acquisition of the 14 acre City of Chula Vista property (parcel D) by
the neighborhood,
b. Acquisition of 38 acres of property (parcels C, D & E) by the
neighborhood.
Representatives of the adjacent neighborhood also asked the City to examine
alternative funding sources for acquisition of the vacant properties.
4.0 ANALYSIS
4.1 Environmental Constraints
The following is a synopsis of existing constraints affecting the project area. Each
individual land use scenario or alternative will have specific environmental impacts
associated with it which will be briefly addressed in this paper. A complete
environmental analysis (EIR) will be conducted addressing each of the viable land

use alternatives prior to a public hearing process on subsequent General Plan
Amendment and Zoni:1g actions.
4.1.1 Geology
Thirty-eight acres of vacant, undeveloped land is located on flat, low-lying
floodplain deposits of the Sweetwater River. These deposits are overlain, in part,
by recently deposited alluvium carried by streams descending to the Sweetwater
River from several small valleys along the project area's southern boundary.
Additionally, floodplain and alluvial deposits are locally overlain by artificial fill,
mostly undocumented off-site soils with scattered debris.
Several notable earthquake faults are located in the project site vicinity, and are
considered active or potentially active. However, no fault traces have been
mapped on the project site. The nearest fault traces are identified as the
Sweetwater Fault (0.75 miles east). the La Nacion Fault (2 miles east) and the
Rose Canyon Fault (3 miles east).
A relatively long duration of strong motion generated by an earthquake can cause
various types of ground failures, including liquefaction. During an extended period
of ground shaking the ground can be altered from a solid to a liquid state, thus
potentially causing damage to engineered structures. Development of structures
on the low-lying portion of the project site would have to be properly engineered to
avoid potential impacts from earth shaking.

4.1.2 Drainage
The low-lying portion of the project site is located on historical floodplain deposits
of the Sweetwater River. The Sweetwater Drainage Basin is about 230 square
miles and has two reservoirs upstream of the project site. The project site land
surface elevations range from 20 to 30 feet above mean sea level. A portion of
the site is also technically within the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) designated 100-year flood impact zone. Changes that have occurred as a
result of the construction of the adjacent flood channel have resulted in improved
drainage conditions on the project site. The FEMA designations have not yet been
removed from the project site; however, according to the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers, drains constructed to handle runoff from the project site into the flood
channel were designed conservatively so that no designated on-site ponding areas
would be required (see Fig. 4). Appropriate drainage facilities to convey runoff
across the property would be required for any development of the property. It
appears that all of the proposed land uses, with proper grading and appropriate
drainage facilities, could be feasibly developed.
4.1.3 Biology
A wetland area presently exists along the northerly edge of the low-lying portion of
the project site (see Fig. 4). This swale is the principal biological resource on the
project site and any proposed development of the project site would have to
preserve this area or mitigate for any loss of wetland and/or habitat. Additionally,
the vacant land area is made up of annual grassland, which serves as a foraging
area for many birds that perch in the large eucalyptus trees at the western edge of
the project site.

4.1.4 Noise
The project site is heavily impacted by two major sources of noise, SR54 to the
north, and Interstate 805 to the east. There are no other significant noise sources
that would impact the project site itself.
In 1989, a noise survey was conducted on the project site to determine the
average noise levels during peak traffic hour periods on 1-805 which were selected
to represent areas which receive the greatest noise exposure from the highways.
The noise levels along the east boundary of the project site registered an average
of 68 dBA, 3 decibels above the City of Chula Vista's minimum acceptable level of
65 dBA for residential areas. These noise levels were expected to increase
incrementally as traffic increases on SR54 and 1-805. Any residential development
of the project site would require an acoustical analysis and proposed mitigation
measures would have to be analyzed for feasibility and aesthetic impacts.
The potential for noise impacts from a development proposal would have to be
analyzed for its impact on adjacent single family neighborhoods, as well as the
existing KOA campground. This analysis would need to examine noise sources,
hours of operation, topography and consider existing ambient noise levels.
4.1.5 Aesthetics
The existing visual character of the project site can be characterized as an open,
low-lying, grassy field area surrounded on all sides by urban development and man-
made structures. The site is recessed from surrounding lands so the visual
impression from nearly all off-site vantage points is one of "looking down on the
project area." The project area is gently sloping within the Sweetwater Valley at

elevation 20 ft., with the exception of the elevated land mass situated along the
westerly edge of the property, which rises dpproximately 100 ft. above the valley
floor.
The property is visible from several offsite vantage points. Motorists traveling on
North Second Avenue can view the valley floor as they travel just south of the
existing child care/adult counseling land use located at the top of the hill. This
view of the site is obvious but brief.
Residents of approximately 1 5 homes and the child care/adult counseling land uses
along North Second Ave. also view the site. Additionally, the site can be seen
from several homes which border the project area to the south. Many residents
living at the end of Las Flores Drive, Minot Avenue, Corte Maria, and Vista Way
have views of the site from their backyards. These homes all sit above elevated
slopes, some with excellent vantage points.
The site is als6 visible from the pedestrian and equestrian path which follows the
Sweetwater River flood control channel to the north of the site, and highly visible
from both SR-54 and 1-805. The Lower Sweetwater Valley property is one of the
first areas that a traveler sees when approaching Chula Vista from the north on 1-
805. Any development proposal or even retention of this area as open space
should include a long-term proposal for strategic landscaping which would enhance
the appearance of this highly visible area.
4.1.6 Access
Approximately 38 acres (see Fig. 3, parcels C, D & E) located within the low-lying
area of the project area and east of the KOA campgrounds are at this time land-

locked. However, the owner of Parcel C (IPG) has obtained a 60 ft. wide
easement across the KOA campgrounds to Edgemere Avenue/North Second
Avenue. This 60 ft. wide access easement can only provide access to the easterly
two parcels (parcels D & E) if access is granted across the IPG parcel. An
equestrian/pedestrian trail and maintenance road atop the Sweetwater flood control
channel along the northern edge of the properties also provide very limited access.
Located to the south of the project site are two streets which could provide
physical access to the area. These are Las Flores Drive and First Avenue. First
Avenue would require extension to the project site. However, input received from
these neighborhoods in the past and through preliminary meetings preceding this
issue paper have indicated that residents are adamantly opposed to any vehicular
access to the property from the south through established neighborhoods, citing
potential security, noise and traffic impacts as their primary concerns.
Pedestrian access to the project site could be provided from Edgemere
Avenue/North Second Avenue, the flood channel trail, Las Flores Avenue and First
Avenue. Some residents have indicated a desire to have neighborhood pedestrian
accessibility to the flood channel trail by traversing the project site. However,
concerns have also been expressed regarding unwanted intrusion into the
neighborhood which could occur through the promotion of a formal pedestrian
access in these areas.
4.1.7 Emergency Services
The Police Department has indicated that although vehicular access to the low-
lying portion of the project site is limited to that from Edgemere Avenue, the
Department feels that access to neighborhood areas south of the project site on
:\LOWSW.lP
11
-ft--~

Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
Las Flores Avenu'e, Minot Avenue, First Avenue, Corte Maria Avenue and Vista
Way is adequate to provide emergency service to the project site and surrounding
area.
The Fire Department has indicated that any development of properties within the
low-lying properties would require appropriate fire flow provisions. This would
require the extension of adequate water resources to accommodate minimum
pressure standards. The design of access roadways into the property would
require appropriate widths and turnaround areas. Emergency Medical staff would
need access to within 1 50 ft. of activity areas on the property. Proposed
structures may require sprinkler systems. The Fire Department has indicated that a
second vehicular access road into the project site will not be necessary to provide
emergency access.
4.2 land Use Compatibility
Site development of the Lower Sweetwater Valley is governed by the City's
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance (Title 19 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code).
The site is currently designated "Open Space / Special Study Area" in the City's
General Plan, as shown on Fig. 11. Current zoning on the site is shown in Fig. 12.
Site zoning includes 21.86 acres of unzoned land, 14.73 acres of Single Family
Residential (R-1) zone, 20.82 acres of Agricultural (AI zone, and 5.59 acres of
Multiple Family (R-31 zone. The portion of the site which is presently zoned R-1
could accommodate an estimated 91 homes with 7,000 sq. ft. lots. The portion
zoned R-3 could provide a maximum of 180 multiple family units, by zoning
ordinance standards, however, existing development on the site contains child care
and adult counseling facilities.
:\LOWSW.IP
17> ~ .IAIJ
M'

Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
General Plan land use designations for surrounding areas include "Freeway" to the
north and east, "Low-Medium Density Residential" to the south and west, and a
small pocket of "Medium-High Density Residential" to the west of North Second
Avenue. Zoning classifications for surrounding properties are Floodway (F-1) to
the north, Single Family Residential (R-1) to the south, freeway to the east, and
Single Family Residential (R-1) and Apartment Residential (R-3-P-20) to the west.
Land uses permitted under the "Open Space" category include open space, limited
recreation uses, rural residential, and agricultural uses. The KOA campgrounds
were permitted through an active Conditional Use Permit. The Special Study
overlay was applied with the intention that the site would be redesignated pending
the City's decision on a Lower Sweetwater Valley general plan amendment request
in 1989. However, the general plan amendment proposal was dropped.
Therefore, the land use designation of "Open Space" has served as a holding or
protective designation until a general plan amendment is adopted.
Site development must also comply with project-specific thresholds contained in
the City's Growth Management Ordinance. Under this ordinance, project-level
conformance review by City staff is required for each of the following issue areas:
fire and emergency medical services; police services; traffic; drainage facilities;
sewer facilities; and water facilities.
4.2.1 Chula Vista Greenbelt
The project site could be incorporated into the City of Chula Vista Greenbelt
concept (See Fig. 5). Section 7.3 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan
states that, "The Chula Vista Greenbelt is the backbone of an open space and park
system that extend throughout the city." The 28-mile greenbelt concept is

intended to utilize. existing developed and undeveloped open space and potential
new open space linkages from the Bayfront, extending up the Otay and
Sweetwater River Valleys, and linking with the Upper and Lower Otay Reservoirs.
The conceptual greenbelt extends east/west through the Sweetwater River Valley.
The following General Plan text discusses the Greenbelt concept in the reach
between 1-805 and the Bayfront: "The Sweetwater Valley Regional Park ends in
the vicinity of 1-805 and Plaza Bonita Road. The Greenbelt extends under the
freeway south of the interchange with Route 54 and along the southerly edge of
the Route 54 to the vicinity of 5th Avenue extended. The Greenbelt then follows
the alignment of the Sweetwater River prior to the freeway construction along a
natural open space area north of C and Sea vale Streets and under Broadway, the
railroad and trolley tracks and 1-5 to the bay. "
The greenbelt concept could provide a multi-purpose trail along the Sweetwater
flood channel and provide access from the Lower Sweetwater Valley project area
to the trail system as well as to the Rosebank neighborhood to the south.
In addition to open space opportunities. the Lower Sweetwater Valley area also
presents opportunities for potential development. Development of this area would
have to be sensitive to environmental issues and be compatible with the
surrounding residential neighborhoods.
4.3 Summary and Analysis of Proposed land Use Alternatives
Various land uses have been proposed for the vacant parcels within the project
area. The following is a brief analysis of these proposals combined with
compatible land uses. Following further direction from the City Council, a
:\LOW&W.IP

~
Ir;-~
Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
complete environmental analysis will be conducted on selected alternatives and
formal hearings to amend the General Plan will be held. For purposes of this
analysis existing land uses and zoning are assumed for parcels A and B. Uses
consist of Child Care and Adult Counseling with R-3 zoning that would permit
Multiple Family Residential (max. 180 units') on parcel A, and Campgrounds and
Agricultural zoning on parcel B. This assumption is consistent for each alternative
(see Table 7 for composite listing of all Alternatives).
4.3.1 Land Use Alternative 1 (See Fig. 6)
Parcel A - Existing Child Care, Adult Counseling or Multiple Family Residential.
Parcel B - Existing KOA Campground.
Parcels C and D - These parcels are proposed to remain as vacant open space and
be maintained as an open space district.
Parcel E - This parcel is proposed, by the Sweetwater Authority, to contain a
water demineralization plant which would extract brackish ground water from the
adjoining river aquifer and through a reverse osmosis process provide potable water
which would then be piped into Sweetwater Authority's available supply (see
Appendix for more details).
, Parcel A consists of 5.59 acres, however, as a result of significant slope areas on the property,
redevelopment of this site would likely result in fewer units.

levy of the Sweetwater flood channel. In addition, development of this parcel as a
park could serve to reduce the deficiency of park acreage west of 1-805 and
provide accessible park land for residents of the Rosebank neighborhood, which
currently lacks neighborhood or nearby community-level park facilities.
Parcel D - This parcel would be retained as natural open space which could

4.4 Potential Traffic Impacts
Alternative 5 is assumed to be the most intense urban land use alternative and
therefore was the subject of analysis with regard to potential traffic impacts. The
City of Chula Vista Traffic Engineering Division has prepared a preliminary traffic
analysis examining potential traffic movements and trip generation from each of
the land uses proposed in this alternative.
Second Avenue extends from the south, transitions into North Second Avenue
adjacent to the KOA Campground entrance, then becomes Edgemere Avenue as
the road continues across the Sweetwater flood channel until intersecting with
30th Street in National City.
The traffic analysis assumes a single point of entry on North Second Avenue at the
KOA Campgrounds entrance. A total of 7,360 average daily vehicle trips (ADT)
were counted in 1993 on North Second Avenue, presently a two lane residential
street with a curb to curb width of 40 ft..:t.. The Chula Vista General Plan
identifies North Second Avenue as a Class II Collector roadway, which at ultimate
buildout would require widening to 52 ft. curb to curb, and would provide a design
capacity of 12,000 ADT at Level of Service (LOS) C.
:\LOWSW.lP
25
~<..~ S-1
/Z.~
Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
An additional 3,073 ADT is estimated to be generated' by the new land uses in
Alternative 5, of which an estimated 1,383 ADT (45%) will impact North Second
Avenue south of the project. This will result in a cumulative total of 8,761 ADT
on North Second Avenue, south of the project. when added to current traffic
counts. When the estimated project traffic is included with cumulative General
Plan buildout forecasts, a total of 11,600 ADT is expected on North Second
Avenue. As stated previously, an ADT total of 12,000 is the design capacity of
Level of Service (LOS) C. Traffic counts experienced in 1990, the last year counts
were taken before the completion of SR-54, totalled 11,660 ADT on North Second
Avenue (see Table 7).
An additional 1,363 ADT is estimated to be generated by the land uses in
Alternative 4, of which an estimated 546 ADT (40%) will impact North Second
Avenue south of the project. This will result in a cumulative total of 7,906 ADT
on North Second Avenue, south of the project, with a General Plan build out
forecast of 10,700 ADT, also under the LOS C standard of 12,000 ADT.
However, the roadway width between the KOA Campground entrance and C
Street is considered to be below the General Plan standard at 40 ft...1=.. Although a
52 ft. curb to curb roadway width is the General Plan standard for a Class II
Collector, restriping for 15 ft. wide travel lanes, a continuous 10ft. wide left turn
lane, and no parking would achieve acceptable levels of service (LOS C or better).
,
Traffic generation assumptions:
.
Family Recreetion/Fun Center would fill 75 % of the 280 parking spaces at 2 hour
intervals, 10 hours per day. Add 10% for deliveries and other.
The 400-bed Senior Care Center would generate 2 trips per unit per day.
The Demineralization Plant would generate approximately 10 trips per day.
The 400-bed Veteran's Home would generated approximately 1,200 trips per day.
The 18.24 ac. Public Park would generate approximately 900 trips per day.

The proposed intersection of North Second Avenue and the entrance to the KOA
Campground and the other Lower Sweetwater Valley parcels will require a curb to
curb width of 44 ft. for a distance of 300 ft. from the intersection. This width will
provide one 10ft. left turn lane and two 17ft. lanes (in/outl. The access road
could then be reduced to 34 ft. in width. Sight distance at this intersection is not
considered to be a safety problem with the installation of a traffic signal. The
City's Traffic Engineer has determined that Alternative 5 land uses will warrant a
traffic signal at this intersection. Alternative 4 land uses do not meet warrants for
a signal, however, to ensure proper safety a traffic signal may be required.
Other roadway segments, assumed to be impacted by project-related traffic, are
not expected to be significantly impacted by any of the five alternatives.

4.5 Open Space Acquisition
One major concern expressed by residents adjacent to the project site has been a
request to retain the vacant land area within the Lower Sweetwater Valley as
undeveloped open space. Some residents have previously expressed a need to
provide park facilities within their neighborhood area, citing the lack of facilities,
however, the strong neighborhood desire expressed has been that no development
occur on the site and that the property be maintained as natural open space.
4.5.1 Assessment District
At a public forum held earlier this year, and at a City Council meeting where the
Lower Sweetwater Valley issues were discussed, the concept of neighborhood
acquisition of vacant land for open space was introduced. The Council directed
staff to examine the potential of the surrounding neighborhoods acquiring and
maintaining the vacant Lower Sweetwater Valley property as natural open space in
perpetuity. Therefore, staff has retained the engineering consultant firm of BSI to
conduct a feasibility study which would identify an assumed benefit area, apply a
fair weighting to properties within the benefit area then determine a unit cost for
acquisition and maintenance. Preliminary results of this study assumed a potential
benefit area roughly from SR-54 to E Street and 1-805 to Fourth Avenue (see Fig.
13). The benefit area contains 861 equivalent dwelling units (EOU's). A
preliminary appraisal of the 14.25 acre Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency
property (parcel 0) resulted in an appraised value and acquisition cost of
$ 744,OOO.::!:... If applied to the 861 EOU's within the benefit area, this property
would cost approximately $864 per EOU. This would also translate into
approximately $74 per year for a period of 25 years through the application of an
assessment bond (@7%). This cost figure is based on preliminary data which will

be further refined before being presented to the City Council for direction along
with this issue paper. The total appraised value and acquisition cost for the two
vacant lots which abut the Agency parcel, totalling 38 acres, would be
$1,998,000i. Assuming the same benefit area, this total would translate into a
cost of approximately $200 per EDU per year for 25 years.
If the property is acquired for open space purposes it must receive ongoing, long-
term maintenance. Cost estimates, prepared by the City's Open Space
Coordinator, for limited maintenance (e.g., Code #4-level maintenance) amounts to
$15,500 per year for the 14.25 acre Agency parcel (parcel D), and $25,000 per
year for 38 acres (parcels C, 0 and E). The maintenance costs combined with the
acquisition costs for the 14.25 acre parcel is estimated at approximately $92 per
EDU, per year. The maintenance costs combined with the acquisition costs for the
38 acres is estimated at approximately $228 per EDU, per year.

4.5.2 Other Available Funding Sources
Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fees - The City of Chula Vista Municipal
Code does not permit the use of Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fees for
the acquisition of permanent natural open space. These funds are collected from
new residential development and must be used for the acquisition of park land and
construction of active park facilities. These funds may be pooled for the
construction of Community-level or Neighborhood-level park facilities, based on
park master planning.
State and Local Grants - The Planning Department has made a number of contacts
to determine if other funding sources, either local or state-wide, are available for
potential acquisition of natural open space or park land. Contacts have been made
with the Wildlife Conservation Office, the State of California Department of Parks
and Recreation (Acquisition Section), and the State Coastal Conservancy. These
agencies have indicated that with the failure at the polls of the proposed California
Parks and Wildlife (CALPAW) funding proposition in the last election, an
opportunity for a local source of funding for open space land acquisition was lost.
Other active funding programs either target habitat lands supporting endangered or
threatened species or significant wetlands. Most funding sources have been
depleted or are targeting these sensitive areas. In Los Angeles County, voters
approved a bond program in the past which supplied funding for open space
acquisition. No such program is currently available in San Diego County.
4.6 Park land Thresholds
Land Use Alternatives 3 and 4 identify park uses for a single parcel (parcel C)
combined with a Veteran's Home or with natural open space. The provision of

park facilities within the Lower Sweetwater Valley could provide accessible park
facilities to the Rosebank neighborhood which currently do not exist, as well as
provide a facility linked to the 28-mile Chula Vista Greenbelt.
Each year the City analyzes various thresholds as part of the City's Growth
Management Policies. The Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC)
recently completed their annual analysis of park thresholds for the City. The
GMOC has reported that the western portion of the City (west of 1-805) is still
below the park threshold of 3 acres per 1 ,000 residents. The current inventory of
park land in western Chula Vista is 1.22 acres per 1,000 residents. Eucalyptus
Park, a 17.83 acre community park, is located approximately 112 mile from the
project site, and serves the community north of F Street.
Recognizing the need to provide additional park land to serve residents west of 1-
805, the City Council has set aside funds in its Five-Year Capital Improvement
Program for the purpose of acquiring said park acreage. The source of these funds
is the Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees which are charged to new
development. However, it should be recognized that the collection of PAD fees
has declined n recent years, due to a slowdown in development activity, and the
construction of "turnkey" parks in lieu of payment of fees in many new residential
projects in eastern Chula Vista. In addition, there is a great deal of competition for
the limited PAD funds that are available. Nonetheless, the City could consider the
use of this fund to purchase one or more of the vacant parcels of land in the Lower
Sweetwater Valley then develop it as park land in the future. Along with this
option, adjacent property owners could dedicate large slope areas facing the valley
to the City and, under an assessment district, these slopes would receive
consistent maintenance and act as a buffer from the park areas in perpetuity.

5.0 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT I ZONING
The 67.82 acre project site is currently designated "Open Space I Special Study
Area" in the City's General Plan, as shown on Fig. 11. The following are
alternative General Plan designations which would be necessary to implement the
proposed land use alternatives.
5.1 General Plan Amendment I Zoning Alternative A
If the property retained the "Open Space" designation currently depicted on the
General Plan Land Use Diagram this would be consistent with proposed land uses
depicted in Land Use Alternative 1, 2 and 3. However, it is recommended that
parcel A be designated as "Medium-High Residential (11-18 du/ac}".
Zoning to implement the "Open Space" General Plan designation is recommended
as "Agriculture" (A) for parcels C, D and E. This alternative would require rezoning
of the southerly portion of each property from R-1 to A and the application of the
A zone for all currently "Unzoned" parcels. Existing zoning would be retained for
parcels A (R-3) and B (A).
5.2 General Plan Amendment Alternative B
The proposed land uses in Alternatives 4 and 5 are varied and somewhat unique.
If either of these two alternatives are selected, it is recommended that a "Mixed
Use" General Plan land use designation be applied, and that a Specific Plan be
adopted for parcels S, C, D, and E. The Specific Plan would be tailored to provide
specific design guidelines affecting each of the parcels. Chapter 19.07 of Title 19
in the Chula Vista Municipal Code authorizes the preparation of a specific plan as
:\LOWSW.lP
1%- t1
-IJ-tf1-tt
32
Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper
July 20, 1994
follows: wSpecific plans may be implemented through the adoption of standard
zoning ordinances, the planned community zone, as provided in this title, or by
plan effectuation standards incorporated within the text of an individual specific
plan. The method of implementing an individuai specific plan shall be established
and expressed by its adopting resolution or ordinance...At the discretion of the City
Council, whenever a specific plan is adopted without intent to implement it through
standard zoning designations, it shall be considered to supersede all underlying
zoning designations... W In other words, the Specific Plan that would be developed
for the Lower Sweetwater Valley project area, would contain specific zoning and
land use regulations, and would supersede the underlying zoning standards on the
property. The Specific Plan zoning and land use regulations would address issues
of access, landscaping, development phasing, setbacks, etc. It is also
recommended that all of the parcels subject to the "Mixed Use" designation and
Specific Plan (parcels B,C,D & E) be zoned "Mixed Use" (MUI as an underlying
zone classification. This "MU" zone is recommended to be added to the City's
Zoning Ordinance (Title 1 9, of the Municipal Codel, concurrent with the General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning for the Lower Sweetwater Valley project area. The
"MU" zone designation will require the adoption of a Specific Plan prior to any
development.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of this issue paper is to examine a range of land use alternatives,
implement the current General Plan "Special Study Areaw designation for the Lower
Sweetwater Valley property adopted in July, 1989, and ultimately lead to the
preparation of a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning and, potentially, a Zoning Text
Amendment.

This issue paper will be presented to the public and various City Boards and
Commissions for input before being presented to the City Council for further
direction. Prior to the public hearing process required for a General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning, a Draft Environmer:tallmpact Report (DEIR) will be
prepared which will present a complete analysis of the potential environmental
impacts for the proposed range of alternatives.
This issue paper concludes that of the five alternative land use scenarios examined
herein that none of them appear to be infeasible from a land use or environmental
standpoint. It is recommended that the potential environmental impacts of all five
of the land use alternatives discussed in this issue paper be fully and equally
analyzed in a Draft EIR and that no preference or weight be given to any of them in
the analysis.

18.24 acres owned by IPG. 14.25 acres owned by the CitY of Chula Vista. and 5.74 acres owned by
Mross. The purpose of this appraisal was to estimate the market value of the subject properties' fee
simple interest.
~
After an examination of the appraised properties and relevant market data, we have formed the
following opinions of fee simple market value of the subject properties as of May 11, 1994.
IPG Parcel 118.24 acres) ....................... $795.000
City of Chula Vista Parcel 114.25 acres) ............ $620,000

PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal was to estimate the market value of the fee simple
interest in the subject properties as of May 11, 1994. As used in this report, Market Value is defined
as follows:
"The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently,
knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing
of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
"
1.
Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well-informed or well-advised, and each acting in what
he considers his own best interest;
.
3.
A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
I
4.
Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto; and

5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted
by anyone associated with the sale."
INTENDED USE
This appraisal is intended to be used by the client in connection with a possible open
space assessment district.
SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL
This appraisal report is intended to be an "appraisal assignment" as defined in the
Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute; that is, it is our intent that the appraisal
service be performed in such a manner that the results of the analyses, opinions. or conclusions be that
J
of a disinterested third party. It is our intent that all appropriate data deemed pertinent to the solution
of the appraisal problem be collected, confirmed, and reported in conformitY with the Standards of
1
,
Professional Practice and Regulation 10, which contains the Code of Professional Ethics of the
Appraisal Institute.
The scope of this appraisal required collecting primary and secondary data relative to
the subject property. The depth of the analysis was intended to be appropriate in relation to the
significance of the appraisal problem. These data have been analyzed and confirmed leading to the
,
value conclusions set forth in this report. A physical inspection of the subject properties and
...
..,
inspections of the comparables were made. The valuation process involved the utilization of all
techniques and procedures considered appropriate to the assignment.
The first step in the analysis was to conduct a preliminary survey of the subject
,
properties and surrounding area in order to more accurately define the appraisal problem and identify
I
the methods and techniques necessary to accomplish the objective of this appraisal report. Interviews
,
were held with citY officials to determine the zoning of the subject and surrounding neighborhood
..
,
6
AND(kSL~ ;.1Nhc
-t:) j, ~
.
"
including any proposed changes in the general plan which might affect the use of the subject
properties.
The . general area was inspected for the purpose of identifying those specific
neighborhood boundaries within which comparable properties would most likely be located. The intent
of this inspection was also to identify physical conditions, neighborhood development trends, and other
factors which affect real property value. We have examined the general economy of the region and
city to determine trends in population, housing. employment. financing. and market which influence
the real estate environment. The subject properties were inspected to ascertain their physical features
.~~
such as improvements. topography. access. drainage. street improvements, utilities. and other
..i
significant features.
The primary valuation technique utilized to estimate the market value of the subject
i
.
properties was the Sales Comparison Approach. Sales involving unimproved land were assembled from
identified competitive market areas. These data were then analyzed on the basis of their overall degree
1
of comparability to the appraised properties. The data were confirmed with principals. their
representatives. or agents. Sources of data included the County Recorder's office, various market data
~
services, published reports. and personal contacts. Relevant market factors were weighted and their
influence on the subject was considered in the approach to value. The data generated from these
~
investigations were then analyzed for the purpose of estimating the current market value of the
"
,
appraised properties. The final step entailed the organization and drafting of the appraisal report.
.,;
'!
However, this appraisal report is limited by the fact that it excludes regional, city, and trends
~
descriptions.
We were provided with zoning and general plan booklets for the city of Chula Vista.
.
We were also furnished with some costs to construct a road from 2nd Avenue to the subject parcels.
I
Also provided for review were two 1990 draft Environmental Impact Reports IEIR). One was for a
~
~
proposed 79-home development on the IPG parcel and the other was for the Chula Vista Relocation

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located in the northwest portion of the city of Chula Vista,
I
Specifically, the subject is located at the southwest quadrant of Interstate 805 and Highway 54;
however, no direct access is provided from these routes, The properties can be accessed via a 60 foot
wide unimproved road easement located at 2nd Avenue, just south of the Highway 54 underpass.
Technically, the City of Chula Vista parcel and the Mross parcel are landlocked, but this will most likely
be their access route.
I
I
,
With the exception of the KOA campground facility located directly adjacent to the
west of the subject parcels, the surrounding uses to the south and west are predominantly single
'1
family developments. There is a multi-family development across the street from the KOA entrance
at 2nd Avenue and, located between the KOA facility and 2nd Avenue, there is an old structure that
is used for child care and an alcohol-related drug rehabilitation facility. The surrounding homes are
average or better quality and range in age from 5 to 50 years and older. Most of these homes are
;
elevated about 50 to 100 feet above the subject parcels as the subject is a low-lying parcel adjacent
to the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel to the north. However, some of the newest homes
~
.~
developed in the area, which are located adjacent and to the southwest, are near the grade of the
appraised property. According to Duane Bazzel, a Chula Vista principal planner, the subject parcels
,
j
are located within the floodplain, as currently depicted on flood maps; however, flood channel
Improvements have improved flood conditions on the subject. The two freeways are also significantly
elevated above the subject parcels.
Single-family development extends south of the subject beyond E Street. Just beyond
the single-family development to the west of the subject, is an industrial park and mobile home park.
The Industrial park is adjacent to the freeway. Retail developments can be found on 4th Avenue, near
the Highway 54 offramps. To the east of the subject and located at the southeast quadrant of
Interstate 805 and Highway 54 is the Plaza Bonita regiorial shopping center anchored by JC Penny's,
,
)
10
ANDERsoJ1Bt-~BAJ~
-1"/:/1/1
Montgomery Ward, and Robinsons-May. Located at the northwest Quadrant of the freeways are
additional neighborhood retail projects anchored by Long's drugstore, Circuit City, and a theater. Plaza
Bonita and the neighborhood centers are within the National City planning sphere.
Chula Vista is an established residential, commercial, and industrial community. It
benefits from its location that is convenient to major freeway routes and labor pools. The anticipated
future of this city as an enjoyable place to live and work is good.

SUBJECT PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
LAND DESCRIPTION
~ Size end Shaoe
The IPG parcel consists of 18.24 gross acres and is irregular in shape; the Chula Vista
parcel consists of 14.25 gross acres and is nearly rectangular in shape; and the Mross parcel consists
of 5.74 gross acres and is nearly triangular in shape. The property boundaries are outlined on the map
on the facing page.
Toooaraohv/Drainaae
The topography of the subject properties is mostly level but does includes some
ascending steep slopes. They are located in a low-lying area adjacent to the Sweetwater River Flood
Control Channel to the north. This low-lying area which includes the adjacent KOA property (not a part
of the subject property) is surrounded by ascending slopes to the south and west. Nearly all of the
IPG property is level with the exceptions of a small portion (approximately 0.50 acres) of the panhandle
.
i
; that ascends steeply to 2nd A venue and a small hill located at the southwest comer. Almost all of the
Chula Vista parcel is level with the exception of a small steep ascending portion located at the
southeast comer. Most of the Mross parcel is level, but about 1.5 acres of the southerly portion
;: ascends steeply.
,
Drainage is toward the Sweetwater River flood channel to the north. The channel right-
of-way is approximately 400 feet wide and includes concrete sides and a natural bottom. There are
also paths on both sides of the channel.

Flood Hazard
According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel No. 065021 0001 D,
i
dated April 5, 1988, the subject parcels are located in Zone A. Zone A includes area of 100-year
flood. According to Duane Bazzel the subject parcels are located within the floodplain, but because
of flood channel improvements potential flood hazards have been reduced. However, both 1990 draft
EIR's state that the parcels are located outside of the floodplain. Flood maps have not been updated
since the completion of the adjacent channel improvements.
In discussions with the Army Corp of Engineers, we learned that the channel was
constructed to contain a 20D-year to 500-year flood. The 10D-year flood level within the adjacent
channel improvement is approximately 18.5 feet above sea level (ASL). The depth of the channel is
approximately 20 feet, with the bottom at 6 feet ASL and the top at 26 feet ASL. According to a
topographical map, the subject property's low-lying areas are at elevations of 22 to 27 feet ASL. Any
water flow across the subject property from the surrounding hills will feed into the channel via flap
gates which are located at an elevation of approximately 11 to 12 feet ASL. In times of water flow
,
in the channel at or above the level of the flap gates, the flap gates will restrict flow from the subject
to the channel when the pressure of the water passing the flap gates is greater than the pressure of
the water flowing from the subject property. Based on this information, it may be necessary to utilize
a pumping system to move the water off the subject or to develop an on or offsite holding pond. A
detailed local drainage study will need to be completed prior to any development to determine proper
mitigating improvements, if any.
Seismic Hazard
The subject is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone. However, the property is located in an
area prone to seismic events, a condition that it shares with other properties located in the general
Southern California area.
,

ANDERSON & iRA8ANT. INC.
Toxic Hazard
An inspection of the subject properties revealed that there is a dumpster operation
I
located on the IPG parcel and some old vehicles. Reportedly, IPG leases the area to Tony &. Son
Dumpster Service for a nominal fee. We recommend that a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
be conducted to determine if any hazardous materials are present onsite.
i2i!l
No soils report was provided to the appraisers for the subject project. However, we
were informed by Duane Bazzel that there is some liquefaction potential associated with the parcels.
Both 1990 draft EIR's confirm that there are liquefaction issues to be considered upon development
of the property. Without further studies providing information to the contrary, we have made the
assumption that there are no soil conditions present which would preclude development of the property
to its ultimate highest and best use, nor conditions which would produce extraordinary development
costs.
.
.
.~
The draft EIR's indicate that there are some wetlands located on the parcels. The IPG
parcel is affected by less than 0.50 acres of wetlands and the Chula Vista site is affected by
approximately 1.25 acres of wetlands.
Utilities
All public utilities to include water. sewer, gas, and electricity ere available to the
subject parcels as the surrounding ereas are developed. Sewer currently extends in a north-south
direction through the Chula Vista parcel near the IPG boundary.

at 2nd Avenue, just south of the Highway 54 underpass and at the entrance to the KOA facility.
Technically. the City of Chula Vista parcel and the Mross parcel are landlocked, but this will most likely
be their access route.
As previously stated, the parcels are bounded by Interstate 805 to the east and
Highway 54 to the north. These routes are elevated above the parcels and do not provide access, but
the parcels do have some exposure to passing traffic.
The panhandle portion of the IPG parcel does extend to 2nd Avenue, but the area
Includes very steep topography and is about 60 feet wide. The IPG parcel is adjacent to the cul-de-sac
opening at Las Flores Drive, but no legal access exists.
Easements/Encumbrances
A title report has not been provided. We have assumed that there are no unknown
.
.

easements/encumbrimces which might impair future development potential of the subject properties.
Land Use
The approximate northerly half of the subject parcels is currently unzoned, while the
approximate southerly half is zoned R1 - single family residential. The panhandle portion of the IPG
parcel is zoned Agricultural. The General Plan indicates that the parcels are designated Open Space,
but they are within a designated Special Study area. Special Study areas are subject to additional
future planning and studies to identify plan amendments necessary to best accomplish the goals and
objectives of the General Plan.
Duane Bazzel has provided us with a number of land use options for the subject
property. The various options include open space, park land, a veteran's home, a demineralization

plant, a senior care facility, a family recreation/fun center, residential, and public/quasi-public uses.
All of these uses, except open space, would require a General Plan amendment and a zoning

designation. Further, the parcels are in raw phYSical condition and would require the development of
Infrastructure to include roadway access and utilities to the sites.

VALUATION
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
J!i.
i
Highest and Best Use is an important concept in real estate valuation as it represents
the premise upon which value is based. As used in this report, Highest and Best Use is defined on
page 275 of the tenth edition (19921 of the Aooraisal of Real Estate as follows:
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved
property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported.
financially feasible, and that results in the highest value."
The principle of highest and best use incorporates the concepts of most probable use
and most profitable use. It must be a use that is legally and physically possible as well as one that is
financially feasible and maximally productive.
j
As previously stated, the Chula Vista and Mross parcels are currently landlocked. This
1
situation could be remedied through acquisition of access rights across the existing 60 foot wide
easement for the IPG property at 2nd Avenue. Topographically, the subject property and the adjacent
I
i
KOA facility are somewhat separated from the surrounding neighborhood as they are located in a low-
lying area bounded by freeways and the flood channel, to the north and east, and steep ascending
slopes to the south and west. The parcels are in raw phvsical condition and would require the
development of infrastructure to include roadway access and utilities to the. sites and necessary
;:
,>
drainage facilities.
As indicated, portions of the subject parcels are zoned R1 and portions are unzoned.
The panhandle portion of the IPG parcel is zoned Agricultural. The General Plan indicates that the
parcels are designated Open Space. but they are within a designated Special Study area. Special
Study araas are subject to additional future planning to identify plan amendments necessary to best
accomplish the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
The R 1 designation allows single-family residential developments with minimum Ionizes
of 5.000 to 15.000 square feet. It also permits mobile home and daycare developments. Conditional

uses include recreational centers, golf courses, RV storage, public and quasi-public uses, schools,
campgrounds, churches, hospitals, convalescent homes, rest homes, and nursing homes.
Vari!)Us uses have been proposed for the subject parcels in the past and reportedly
these include a single-family subdivision, a relocation mobile home park. a veterans home, a senior care
facility. a demineralization facility, open space. a park, and a family fun center/recreation facility. None
of these uses have been approved due in part to the lack of General Plan and zoning designations. On
the other hand, these uses are reasonable given surrounding development and the physical
characteristics of the subject properties.
I
)
Due to the nature of the subject parcels within a special study zone and with large
unzoned portions, we surveyed the surrounding neighborhood for additional compatible uses and other
pertinent information. With the exception of the KOA facility and the daycare/drug rehab facility, the
subject is bounded by residential developments to the south and west. Just beyond the single-family
J
development to the west of the subject, is an industrial park and mobile home park. The industrial park
is adjacent to the freeway. Retail developments can be found on 4th Avenue, near the Highway 54
..
offramps. Freeways are to the north and east and the Sweetwater River Rood Control Channel is
i'
L_
adjacent to the north. Access is limited as there is not a freeway offramp at this point and 2nd
!
i
~ .
Avenue is only a 2-lane collector street. The closest freeway offramp is about one-half mile to the
west at 4th Avenue and Highway 54. The site can be seen from the adjacent freeways. There are
!'
..
large retail developments at the northwest and southeast quadrants of the freeways, but they have
superior access.
[
Based on the surrounding uses and those which have been proposed, there appears to
. wide range of possible uses from recreational to residential to public. Commercial or Industrial uses
L
I
would likely be the least compatible with the neighborhood and are very speculative due to access.
Some form or combination of residential or recreational uses would likely be the most compatible with
the neighborhood as the KOA facility is adjacent to the west and there are many homes surrounding.
l'
;
'"'
All of these uses must deal with the political influence of surrounding propertY owners as well as the
,
21
c.
ANDER.SON . IkAIANT. INC.
-11. st !>f- /O~
1
discretionary approval process mandated by the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code. These
developments may impact other neighborhood factors such as circulation routes, traffic, and schools.
i
Additignally, development of the sites would include confronting the Issues of access, slopes,
wetlands, liquefaction, drainage, and noise. The conclusion to be drawn from this discussion is that
there Is a wide range of possibilities for these parcels, but all are speculative. The more intense
commercial uses would appear to be more speculative than the less intense residential or recreational
possibilities due to the adjacent developments.
It is our opinion that a prospective purchaser would view these parcels as speculative
property. The timing and ultimate development is uncertain as these properties will require a careful
planning process and the coordination and energy to acquire entitlements. There appears to be a wide
rarlge of hurdles to overcome prior to development. Further, it is our opinion that the planning and
ultimate development of the property would include combining the sites into a development plan which
could include any or a combination of the uses previously discussed.
Therefore, the highest and best use of the property is assemblage for sale to a
I
speculator who would procure entitlements for a compatible use that Is consistent with both the
physical setting of the land and its legal constraints. This would allow infrastructure cost economies
and result in the highest present land value.
METHODOLOGY
The following sections in this report include descriptions and analyses of the data and
reasoning used in the valuation process. Only the Sales Comparison Approach was applied in the
valuation of the subject land. This approach to value relies on thil concept that a prudent purchaser
would pay no more to buy a property than it would cost to acquire a comparable substitute. Sales of
aimilar properties are compared directly to the subject to arrive at an indicated value.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
In estimating the value of the subject parcels, a search was conducted for recent sales
of properties with "highest and best use similar to that of the subject property. Sales considered
included properties which did not have immediate development potential and for which the ultimate
use, development timing, and value was considered speculative. Due to the unique characteristics of
the subject property and the lack of investors in this market for speculative land, there was a limited
supply of comparable land sales. However, it was possible to locate sales which were useful in the
valuation of the subject land.
Following is a summary of the land comparables considered in this report. The map
facing the summary shows the location of the comparable properties in relation to the subject property.
Data sheets on each land comparable can be found in the Addenda of this report.

We are to provide estimates of value for each of the three separate parcels. In the
Highest and Best Use section of this report we concluded that the three parcels should be incorporated
into one development plan. We have valued the three parcels as one larger parcel and considered that
the same unit value for each individual parcel applies. Effectively, we have valued the property as a
total 38.23 acre parcel and allocated the unit value to each separate parcel.
All of the data included in the summary are considered to be speculative properties and
comparable to the subject in this regard. The following is a brief discussion and analysis of the
comparables.
Comparable No. 1 is a 23.05 gross acre site located east of East Beyer Boulevard in
the community of San Ysidro. It sold in July 1992 for $923,000. However, the transaction's
financing included a two year, $85,000 note at 17 percent interest only payments. We applied an
upward adjustment of $10,000 to account for the above market financing terms to indicate a sale price
'"
of approximately $0.93 per square foot. The site is zoned for residential and commercial use and the
r
i
I.
topography is rolling. The site was landlocked at time of purchase, but the buyer was confident that
an access easement to East Beyer Boulevard could be obtained and access was secured after the close
L
of escrow at no additional cost. It was also indicated that this property is influenced by a land slide
.
1
area, but it was not a major concern as the area has not experienced any land slides in sometime. The
buyer's intent is to hold for future speculative development. The purchase was based on pure
L
[
speculation, but according to the buyer's agent. potential speculative uses for the sale property range
from residential, to a theme park development. to land for extension of the" trolley, to speculation on
potential uses derived from the NAFTA issue. This comparable is considered to be most similar to the
subject due to its wide range of speculative development possibilities and was also landlocked.
L
I
However, it has rolling topography and is located in an inferior neighborhood with less surrounding
development and exposure. Overall, this sale is considered to be similar to slightly inferior to the
subject and indicates a unit value of slightly greater than $0.93 per square foot for the appraised
r
L
property .

Comparable No.2 is a 64.94 acre site with 39.50 acres of net usable land. It is located
on the north side of Oceanside Boulevard at Via Rancho, Oceanside. It sold in March 1993 for
approximately $0.58 per net square foot. This site is part of a master-planned development where the
city has designated the land for industrial purposes. The buyer owns approximately 323 acres of
physically undeveloped land adjacent to this site and this sale property is located between Oceanside
Boulevard and the 323 acres. Although the land was purchased for assemblage, the buyer indicated
that the price paid was reflective of market. During the escrow period, the buyer prepared a map for
future development of this sale property. The property is in a physically raw condition and the
,
,
topography is rolling and elevated above Oceanside Boulevard. This sale was considered to be less
speculative than the subject because the buyer prepared a map during escrow for future industrial
development of the property. However, the potential ultimate use as industrial is considered to be very
J
risky in this highly oversupplied industrial-lot market. Overall, this property is considered to be inferior
and would indicate a unit value of greater than $0.58 per square foot for the subject.
'!
Comparable No.3 is a 95.82 gross acre site located south of Highway 78 at Haymar
Drive, Carlsbad. It sold in September 1993 for approximately $0.24 per square foot. The buyer owns
the adjacent property, but this sale property was not purchased for assemblage. This sale property
was purchased from the RTC via a sealed bid process. The list price at that time was $2,400,000 and
the marketing time was approximately four months. The accepted price of $1,000,000 was the
highest bid and there were reportedly several other offers included in the bid process. According to
brokers involved in the sale, it reflected a market price. Prior to this sale, the property was in escrow
for $2,250,000. Due to the buyer's inability to secura financing, the property fell out of escrow. The
property consists of approximately 59.19 acres zoned as Open Space, 20.68 acres zoned as
.,
Residential/Professional, and 15.95 acres zoned as CommercialfTourist. The property is in a physically
I
raw condition and, in general, the open space portion of the property is below grade and closest to
...
Highway 78 with Buena Creek extending through this area. The remaining portion of the property has

sloping to rolling topography and is elevated above Highway 78. The buyers intent is to hold for future
speculative development. This parcel is similar to the subject due to its freeway exposure and the
potential for a variety of uses. However, even though the potential uses, exclusive of the wetlands,
appear to be more intense than what may be realized on the subject, there are nearly 60 acres, or 62
. percent of the 95.82 acre site, of potential wetlands. It is also inferior due to the topography of the
developable portion. Overall, this comparable is considered inferior to the subject.
Comparable No.4 is a 136.46 gross acre site located near the southwest quadrant of
La Costa Avenue and EI Camino Real in the city of Encinitas la 3.64 acre portion of the property is
located in Carlsbad). The property sold in December 1992 for approximately $0.54 per square foot.
The seller was Community Bank and they acquired the property via foreclosure proceedings. It was
not offered on the open market and the price was based upon an appraisal. The property consists of
approximately 50 acres of wetlands. The land use designation is residential, except for the 3.64 acre
parcel located in Carlsbad which is designated Open Space. The property is in a physically raw
condition and the topography varies from generally level wetland areas to rolling to steep. The prior
owner, who was foreclosed upon, had plans for a 22 home residential subdivision. The buyer's intent
is to hold for future development. This comparable's developable portion is most likely limited to
residential use due to surrounding residential development. However, it has the potential for upper end
product due to the ocean and lagoon views. It is considered as a less speculative investment due to
surrounding residential development. However, it is inferior due to its high ratio of potential wetland
acreage Inearly 37%1 to total acreage. Overall, this property is considered to be inferior and would
indicate a unit value of greater than $0.54 per square foot for the subject.
Comparable No.5 is a current listing of a 39.63 gross acre site located on the east side
.
of Business Park Drive and east of Scott Street, in Vista's industrial neighborhood. It has been listed
I
since mid 1993 at approximately $1.22 per square foot. It has an approved map for a 12 lot industrial
~
development and has a special use permit for a golf driving range. The property is in a physically raw
.
,

I I <

A-.ff I~- lug
condition and the topography is rolling. This comparable is superior to the subject because it has land
use approvals in place. In addition, the $1.22 per square foot is only the list price and properties
typically sell for less than the list price. This comparable was considered due to its recreation use
potential as evidences by the golf driving range use permit.
These data indicate a value range of approximately $0.25 to $1.25 per square foot for
the subject prior to adjustments. The upper end of the range is represented by a listing (Comparable
No.5) and the most similar sale is Comparable No.1. The remaining sales were all considered inferior.
Based on these data, we have concluded that $1.00 per square foot would be a reasonable indicator
for the subject. When this unit value is applied to the subject's three parcels, it results in the following
indications of value.

EXISTING CONDITION
The proposed project is located east of North Second Avenue south of SR-54 in the City
of Chula Vista. The project area is also known as the Lower Sweetwater Parcel. The only
access to the proposed project is from North Second Avenue via the KOA campground
access road.
Streets
State Route 54 is a regional facility connecting 1-5. to 1-805 and points east SR-54 was
recently completed as a freeway between 1-5 and 1-805 with three lanes westbound and four
lanes eastbound. SR-54 provides access at North Fourth Avenue/Highland Avenue at a full
interchange. At National City Boulevard, limited access is provided via ramps to and from
the east.
North Second Avenue is a two (2) lane, Class II collector street connecting 30th Street in
National City and Second Avenue. South of "C' Street, North Second Avenue becomes
Second Avenue. The pavement width along North Second Avenue is 40 feet curb-to-curb.
The west side of North Second Avenue, south of the project entrance, is missing curb,
gutter and sidewalk. The intersection of North Second AvenuelEdgemere and 30th Street
. is signalized and the intersection of Second Avenue and "C' Street is stop sign controlled.
Existing average daily traffic volume south of the project entrance is 7,360 ADT.
Roadway Sel!ment Existin~ Level of Service
Current daily traffic volumes on study area streets, measured against the City of Chula
Vista's "Roadway Capacity Standards," provide an indication of the operating performance
of those street segments that may be impacted by the project. The City's General Plan
Circulation Element recommends that arterial segments maintain a design capacity of Levels
of Service (LOS) C or better in terms of average daily traffic volumes except that during
peak hours LOS D can occur for no more than any two (2) hours of the day.
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure of a roadway's operating performance and
of the motorists' perception of roadway performance, expressed as a letter designation from
A to F. "A" represents the best operating conditions and "P' the worst. When evaluating
daily traffic volumes, the City of Chula Vista considers LOS C an acceptable design capacity
for street segments based on daily traffic volumes. LOS C is generally characterized by
stable flow and the point at which maneuverability, speed, and motorist comfort and
convenience begins to decline noticeably.

A. Land Use Alternative 1
Parcels A and B consist of existing development or multiple family.
Parcels C and D - are proposed to remain as open space.
Parcels E - is proposed to contain a water demineralization plant which would
extract brackish ground water from the adjoining river aquifer and through a reverse
osmosis process provide potable water which would then be piped into Sweetwater
Authority's available reserves.

The additional 46 new trips will increase the existing ADT on North Second Avenue
south of the project entrance by 14 trips to 7,374 ADT or 30% of 46 trips. The new
7,376 ADT is below the Level of Service (LOS) C capacity of 12,000 ADT for North
Second Avenue. However, it is recommended that the segment of North Second
Avenue between the project entrance and .C" Street be restriped for two (2) IS-foot
through lanes and one continuous 10-foot left lane within the 40 foot pavement width
in order to increase the segment LOS C capacity to Oass II collector or 12,000 ADT.
The proposed striping will require prohibition of on-street parking.
North Second Avenue is classified as a bike route in accordance with the City's
circulation element of the General Plan. Therefore, bike signs should be installed on
North Second Avenue.
The project entrance intersection with North Second Avenue does not meet any traffic
signal warrant for intersection signalization for this alternative.

The additional 1,363 new trips will increase the existing ADT on North Second
Avenue south of the project entrance by 546 trips to 7,906 ADT or 40% of 1,363
trips. The new 7,906 ADT is below the Level of Service (LOS) C capacity of 12,000
ADT for North Second Avenue. However, it is recommended that the segment of
North Second Avenue bp,tween the project entrance and "C' Street be restriped for
two (2) IS-foot through lanes and one continuous 100foot left lane within the 40 foot
pavement width in order to increase the segment LOS C capacity to Class II
collector or 12,000 ADT. The proposed striping will require prohibition of on-street
parking.
North Second Avenue is classified as a bike route in accordance with the City's
circulation element of the General Plan. Therefore, bike signs should be installed
on North Second Avenue.
The project entrance intersection with North Second Avenue does not meet traffic
signal warrant for intersection signalization for this alternative. However, the total
ADT on the major street (N. Second Avenue) is 20 ADT less than the threshold
limit of 8,000 ADT for signal warrant or less than 1% (exhibit 4).

Impact
The additional 3,073 new trips will increase the existing ADT on North Second
Avenue south of the project entrance by 1,385 trips to 8,743 ADT or 45% of 3,073
trips. The new 8,761 ADT is below the Level of Service (LOS) C capacity of 12,000
ADT for North Second Avenue. However, it is recommended that the segment of
North Second Avenue between the project entrance and "C' Street be restriped for
two (2) 15-foot through lanes and one continuous 10-foot left lane within the 40 foot
pavement width in order to increase the segment LOS C capacity to Class n
collector or 12,000 ADT. The proposed striping will require prohibition of on-street
parking.
North Second Avenue is classified as a bike route in accordance with the City's
circulation element of the General Plan. Therefore, bike signs should be installed
on North Second Avenue.
The project entrance intersection with North Second Avenue does meet traffic signal
warrant for intersection signalization (exhibit 4) for this alternative.

CONCLUSION
Traffic analysis of the proposed project shows that the traffic impact from the proposed five
(5) alternative can be mitigated.
1. Under Land Use Alternatives 1, 2, and 3, it is recommended that:
a. North Second Avenue be restriped for two IS-foot through lanes and one (1)
IO-foot continuous left turn lane;
b. Tbe missing improvement (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) on North Second
Avenue between the project entrance and C Street be installed to provide 40
feet of pavement.
2. Under Land Use Alternatives 4 and 5, it is recommended that in addition of the
proposed improvements under Alternatives 1, 2, and 3, a traffic signal be installed
on North Second Avenue at the project entrance.
3. Under all five alternatives, it is recommended that the project entrance be aligned
with the apartment entrance to the west.
4. Tbe project entrance roadway should be at least 44 it wide curb-ta-curb to provide
for two (2) 17-foot lanes and one (1) 10-foot left-turn for a distance of 300 feet from
the easterly crosswalk.

DRAFT PRELIMINARY REPORT.
FOR
LOWER SWEETWATER OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

INTRODUCTION
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
LOWER SWEETWATER OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
INTRODUCTION
The Lower Sweetwater Open Space District is being formed to acquire open space within the
City of Chula Vista. The formation of the Open Space District will allow the City adequate
funds to acquire land and maintain the land in an open space condition. Assessments are levied
upon each parcel for the necessary costs of acquiring land and maintaining land which enhances
the value of each parcel in the assessment district boundary.
Property values in a community are increased when public infrastructure such as open space is
dedicated and maintained, additionally, the costs of acquiring land for open space has accelerated
sharply in recent years as has the cost of maintaining open space. With cities having fewer
resources to acquire open space, assessment districts have seen increased use to acquire land for
this purpose.
The method of assessment for maintenance to be approved at the time of formation of the Open
Space District may be amended from time to time if deemed appropriate by the City Council.
The maintenance of the facilities within the District are consistent with the Landscaping and
Lighting Act of 1972, and will be administered pursuant to the City of Chula Vista ordinances
and regulations.
The properties that benefit from operation and maintenance of the landscaping, lighting, median
improvements, and appurtenant facilities, will fund these activities in proportion to the benefits
that each property receives.
Payment for the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same
time as payments are made for property taxes for each property. Revenues from these
assessments must be placed in a special fund and cannot be used for any other purpose.
The proceedings will be conducted under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2
Division 15, Sections 22500 through 22679, of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of
California (the "Act") and the City of Chula Vista Open Space Procedural Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista will set a date for a public meeting and a public
hearing. The Public Meeting and Public Hearing will be held on the date and at the time and
place described specifically in the Resolution of Intention. Notice will be given in accordance
with requirements of the Streets and Highways Code and the Government Code of the State of
California.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
1. GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code (the Code), also known as the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the Act), permits the establishment of assessment
districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which
includes the purchase of land for open space.
The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather
than according to assessed value. Section 22573 of the Code provides that:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district
may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes
the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the
estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the
improvements. "
The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment
district if "...by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the
improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement" (Sec. 22574). Thus, the Act requires the levy of a true "assessment"
rather than a "special tax."
Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of all publicly owned property in use
in the performance of a public function.
Section 22509 of the Code provides that the Act shall be liberally construed to effectuate
its purpose. Therefore, any reasonable formula, or method, when upheld by the City
Council after a public hearing, is conclusive.

I~-~

II. PARCEL CLASSIFICATION
Since the assessment will be levied against properties as shown on the Property Tax Rolls
of the San Diego County Assessor, the final charges must be assigned by Assessor's
Parcel Number. If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not considering land
use or parcel size, this would not be equitable, because a single family residential parcel
would be paying the same assessment as a 50-unit apartment parcel, or a large
commercial establishment in a similar zone.
Therefore, the single family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for
calculation of assessments and is defined as one (I) Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).
A methodology has been developed to calculate the EOUs for other residential land uses
and for non-residential parcels, as described below.
Single Family Residential. The single family residential parcel has been selected as the
basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. This basic unit shall be called an
Equivalent Owelling Unit (EDU). Parcels developed for single family residential uses
are assessed one (1) EO U .
Multi-Family Residential. Multi-family residential uses are given a factor of 0.7 EOU
per dwelling unit. Based on data from SANOAG cities in urban San Diego County have
traffic counts for condos of 8 trips per day and apartments of 6 trips per day. For the
purpose of this study the average of 7 trips per day is used for all multiple residential
units up to twenty units, with a factor of .35 EOU's for every unit above twenty. Many
of the larger units have internal street systems and open space areas.
Mobile Home. Parcels designated for mobile home park uses by the County Assessor
are assigned 0.5 EOU per space. Where this designation applies to a campground, the
number of spaces in the campground is multiplied by a 50% occupancy rate for a year
which in turn is multiplied by 0.5 EOU per space.
Commercial/Industrial. In converting improved non-residential properties to EDUs,
the factor used is the typical lot size for single family residential parcels, which is 6,000
square feet, or 7.26 dwelling units per acre.
The commercial/industrial parcels will be assessed 7.26 EDU for each acre, or any
portion thereof up to five (5) acres, and 0.73 for every additional acre or portion thereof
above five (5) acres. This lower EOU factor is based on the fact that many of the larger
commercial/industrial developments contain internal street systems. The minimum
number of EOUs per commercial/industrial parcel wi11 be one (I) EOU.

''6- ..~

~
--,-------- _.__._,._-"._._--_.-..--~_."-,..
Vacant Residential. Vacant residential property is described as parcels with no
improved dweJ1ing structures. These properties receive benefits based on their land, as
this is the basis of their value. The land value portion of residential property in Chula
Vista is about 50 percent.
Parcels defined as single family residential parcels which do not have structures on the
parcels are therefore, assessed 50 percent of a single family dweUing. The parcels wiU
be assessed 0.50 EDU per parcel.
Vacant Commercial/Industrial. Parcels which are not zoned for residential use and
which do not have structures on the parcel are assessed based upon the acreage of the
parcel. These parcels will be assessed at 50 percent of the rate of improved
commercial/industrial property.
Institutional. Institutional parcels are defined as those used for private schools, lodge
halls, convalescent hospitals, and other similar uses. These parcels will be assessed at
the same rate as improved commercial/industrial property.
Utility. Parcels owned by private utility companies will be assessed at the same rate as
improved commercia]lindustrial property based upon a comparable land use for the
property. Utility rights-of-way will be exempt from assessments.
Exempt. Parcels of land defined in the County Assessor's records as being exempt from
property taxes will be exempt from District assessments. This includes all publicly
owned property, aU easements and rights-of-way, and common areas.
The land use classification for each parcel has been based on the 1994-95 San Diego
County Assessor's Roll.
III. BENEFIT DETERMINATION
Benefits from the acquisition of land for the creation of open space is of benefit to the
parcels outlined in the Boundary Map.
The costs associated with these benefits are spread equally, based on Equivalent Dwelling
Units (EDU), to all parcels within the District.
The benefit of the assessment to the assessed parcels accrues as a result of a decrease in
traffic volumes on ]ocal streets. This assessment was made as a result of site visits and
a general determination based on the judgement of the assessment engineer.

SYNOPSIS OF COMMISSIONS/COMMITI'EE COMMENTS
REGARDING THE DRAFf LOWER SWEETWATER VALLEY ISSUE PAPER
The following is Ii synopsis of the comments received from the Resource Conservation
Commission, PlanDing Commission, Housing Advisory Commission, and Veteran's Ad Hoc
Committee regarding the Draft Lower Sweetwater Valley Issue Paper. The
Commissions/Committee, as a whole, did not take a singular position, however, individual
members provided the following comments or suggestions. Comments from the Parks &
Recreation will be provided at the meeting.
RESOURCE CONSERVATION COMMISSION IRCC)
. An additional alternative should be examined which designates the KOA campground
parcel (parcel B) as a public park. If the property owner wishes to sell the property in
the future the City could have fIrst option to purchase for park purposes.
. An additional alternative should be examined which combines the proposed Senior Care
Facility with the proposed Veteran's Home.
. As previously requested by the RCC, the City should make every effort to zone the
"unzoned" portion of the Lower Sweetwater property.
PLANNING COMMISSION (PC)
. The Council should narrow-alternatives to those that the neighborhood support (Alts. 1-3)
rather than expending City funds and additional staff time for the preparation of an EIR.
. The "Greenbelt" concept in the General Plan should be kept alive and not be fragmented
by individual actions.
. All of the property owners within the proposed assessment district benefIt area should
be notifIed of the process.
. Concerned that citizens may not be able to bear the costs of acquisition of the open space
independently.
. EIR should cover alternatives 1 through 4, excluding alternative 5, since the proposed
recreation facilities may involve restricted use as commercial and not provide public
access as a park. Park land is known to be currently defIcient in western Chula Vista.
. The proposed assessment district or EIR analysis should contain a full range of
assessment district approaches, including a tiered or radiating benefIt approach.
. Council should examine all fIve alternatives in an EIR in order to make a decision on the
project.

Synopsis of Commission/Committee Comments

. Alternatives 2 and 5 look good and property owners of the project lands need to be
compensated. for any acquisition of their assets. Question whether the public is served
by taking all alternatives through the entire process.
. Issue Paper should look at alternative 2 and see if costs based on benefit could be spread
to those who benefit from the "Greenbelt."
HOUSING ADVISORY COMMISSION
. A more agressive approach should be looked at for redesignating or zoning Parcel A.
Some zoning designation which will permit social service-type land uses here without
having to go through a public hearing process each time a modification of use is
requested.
. Do not want to see too dense a multiple family development constructed on Parcel A.
. Senior Care Facility does not appear to be a compatible land use adjacent to the Family
Recreation/Fun Center.
VETERAN'S AD HOC COMMITTEE
. Until a final siting decision is made on the Veteran's Home, the property within the
Lower Sweetwater Valley should be considered for locating the Veteran's Home as
depicted on Alternative 4.

ITEM 3.
REPORT: LOWER SWEETWATER VALLEY GPA ISSUE PAPER.
Principal Planner Bazzel noted that the City Council had directed staff to prepare an issue paper
for a General Plan Amendment for the Lower Sweetwater Valley area, after a number of
proposed developments had been presented to the City. Mr. Bazzel, using overhead projection,
showed where the property was located and the proposed land uses being considered for each
parcel, including a Veterans home on 14.25 acres owned by the City of Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency, a family recreation fun center, Senior Care Facility, Sweetwater
demineralization plant, park and open space alternatives. Mr. Bazzel proceeded with the history
of the property, the current General Plan designations and the current zoning designations.
He indicated that in 1990 the City issued a draft ElR for a mobilehome relocation park on parcel
D which was never [maled, and the project was dropped. Mr. Bazzel stated that the land uses
would remain the same on parcels A and B on all alternatives. A preliminary traffic analysis
had been done to determine if any of the alternatives would drop levels of services on any of
the area streets to below a level of acceptability--below the Threshold level of service C. Staff
found that with appropriate striping and signalization for Alternatives 4 and 5, and an
intersection at the entrance of the KOA, the level of service would still be acceptable through
build-out of the General Plan.
Principal Planner Bazzel stated that as part of the direction of Council and requests by the
neighborhood, an open space alternative was provided. The issue of funding open space
acquisition and maintenance, with the potential for an assessment district, was considered and,
through a consultant, a preliminary assessment district study was prepared which examined the
potential benefit area for acquisition and maintenance and examined appraisal costs for property
within the area--the current vacant area in particular.
Mr. Bazzel proceeded with an explanation of the General Plan Amendment and zoning
recommended for each of the parcels. He then noted that an Environmental Impact Report had
not been prepared; staff was looking for comments from the Commission in response to the issue
paper and any areas of inadequacy in the report or additional alternatives which the Commission
felt should be studied in any General Plan Amendment.
Commissioner Fuller, referring to the assessment district, asked if it covered only Parcel D.
Mr. Bazzel stated the assessment district study addressed Parcel D, and Parcels C, D and E--
the 14.25 acres which was Parcel D, and then 38 acres (which included the 14.25 acres) in
Parcels C, D and E.
Commissioner Fuller noted that Parcel D belonged to the City of Chula Vista Redevelopment
Agency. She asked if that would be included in the assessment district. Mr. Bazzel stated it
would be included. The property was purchased through low- and moderate-income funds for
low- and moderate-income housing. The advice received from legal counsel was that the
/<{~~
/) '-/6'
~ 4

July 13, 1994
property would have to be sold at fair market value if utilized for anything other than low- and
moderate-income housing.
Commissioner Fuiler asked if that was the reason Parcel C was designated in the other
alternatives for parkland, and not Parcel D. Mr. Bazzel stated the designation of Parcel C as
park with open space to the east on Parcel D could be reversed; it was only chosen in that
arrangement because of the transition of land uses fr"m the KOA. Staff felt that natural open
space buffering between the KOA and the park facility was not as desirable as having that park
facility closer to the access, and then create a buffer between the park and the demineralization
plant if it was built.
Commissioner Fuller confirmed the City could not declare Parcel D land for a park. It was for
low-income housing only. Mr. Bazzel stated it could not be done under the current funding
arrangement. It would have to be purchased from the Redevelopment Agency.
Commissioner Salas questioned the park inventory west of 1-805, stating there was a deficiency
of public parks in that area. She was concerned that Eucalyptus Park was 1/2 mile away from
the project site. She asked if there was any study in terms of the dispersement of parks within
the City, and where the deficiencies are the greatest. Also, if the budget was directed to
Eucalyptus Park, would that divert funds from monies that would be needed to put a park in
another area of the City.
Principal Planner Bazzel stated that the Issue Paper had discussed potential park acquisition and
development fees that the Council had set aside for acquisition of parkland in the western portion
of Chula Vista. He concurred there was a deficiency in the western portion which is
approximately 1.22 acres per 1,000 residents. The threshold is 3 acres per 1,000. A Park
Implementation Plan and Study is currently in process which looks into facilities and parks in
western Chula Vista. Eucalyptus Park is currently considered at capacity, well used, and that
consideration of another park in the area would require strong scrutiny. There has been no
further direction from Council earmarking funds for this area versus Southwest Chula Vista.
Commissioner Salas asked if that would be a consideration in the EIR. Mr. Bazzel concurred.
Commissioner Moot asked if the acquisition costs could be calculated to implement Alternative
3, and if there needed to be an assessment district if the parcel were designated as a park as
opposed to open space, or if the funding became different for maintenance if designated for park
or open space. Mr. Bazzel stated that staff had initially looked at the potential for acquisition
of the land for park purposes through an assessment district. Determination of the assessment
benefit area would be somewhat different, and the maintenance and facility costs would be
tremendous compared to acquisition and maintenance as natural open space. The majority of
the requests from the neighborhood were for natural open space, and not an overwhelming
request for parkland. Direction of Council was to examine the acquisition primarily through an
assessment district, but also to look at park acquisition funds. Staff did not feel the acquisition

It - tffl

of the land as parldand through an assessment district was a feasible alternative given the high
cost.
Commissioner Fuiler asked if the proposal for an EIR including all five alternatives was
direction from Council, or if it was the recommendation from staff. Mr. Bazzel answered that
it was a recommendation from staff. Council understood that an EIR would be required, but
had given no weight to any of the proposed land uses other than making a commitment to the
Veterans Home prior to the any knowledge of the proposals. The purpose of the Issue Paper
was to give the Council enough facts to either give staff direction as requested, or narrow the
range of alternatives.
Commissioner Fuller asked what kind of commitment had been given on a Veterans Home. Mr.
Bazzel stated that Council had committed to the Veterans Administration that they would make
every effort to locate a site in Chula Vista; this site had been mentioned in that discussion prior
to any other proposals coming forward. The Veterans Atlministration was looking at a site by
Sharps Hospital which they also felt was a viable site, but the Veterans had not reached a point
where they would abandon their desire for the Sweetwater site. Council had not taken the
Veterans' proposal out of the range of alternatives and had indicated they would not do so unless
the Veterans Administration had secured another site.
Commissioner Fuller commented the because of the information contained in the packet and the
input by the citizens, unless the Council felt legally bound to spend the time and the money on
an EIR that included all five alternatives, she recommended that the Council listen to the citizens
first before going to the trouble and expense of an EIR that included all five proposals.
Commissioner Tuchscher noted that Commissioner Fuller was speaking of Alternatives 1 through
3. Commissioner Fuller concurred.
Assistant Planning Director Lee noted that this was not a public hearing; it was an issue paper.
However, he suggested that they may want to ask questions of staff; they may also want to hear
from a number of residents in attendance who were notified, and then comment and provide their
direction to Council as an offer.
Chair Martin commented that the greenbelt concept should be given a chance. The concept
should be kept intact; it was a good idea and a good plan, but would be fragmented if the
concept is not kept in mind.
Commissioner Tarantino asked how committed the Sweetwater Authority was in installing a
demineralization plant in the area. Mr. Bazzel stated the Sweetwater Authority had issued a
notice of preparation to' begin preparation of an EIR; they had three sites they had identified of
which this site was one. At this point a preferred site had not been indicated.

Commissioner Tarantino questioned what would be proposed for that area if Sweetwater
Authority withdrew. Mr. Bazzel stated for alternatives 1 through 3, open space or a land use
that would be compatible with whatever the approved adjacent land use was.
Commissioner Ray asked if the funding mechanisms and cost of acquisition affect the available
options. Mr. Bazzel stated it was not the primary mover on the range of alternatives. The
citizen input had weighed heavily on the intensity of proposed alternatives. The proposed land
uses staff was aware of and which had been included in the range of alternatives were those
which had been presented to the City. Any range of alternatives or land uses could be looked
at for that area, but given the significance of input received prior to these proposals, with the
mobilehome relocation park, and with this process, he felt Council's direction had considered
that input heavily.
Commissioner Ray asked if the most vocal and the majority of the people were in the lower
portion, or if it was more in the surrounding area. Commissioner Fuller stated it was in almost
all of the area; they wanted the City to work with them; they were interested in their assessment
district and it was not isolated just to the newer homes.
Commissioner Ray asked what option KOA would prefer. Mr. Bazzel said the general feeling
from KOA was that they wished to continue operating with their current operation and did not
want any land uses to be included that might not afford them protection, both from the
standpoint of noise and traffic.
The Planning Commission Chair opened the meeting for public discussion.
Josephine Payne, 62 Corte Maria Avenue, CV, as a citizen of Rosebank residential
neighborhood, voiced her complaints against the Family Recreation Center coupled with the
Family Fun Center (noise already existing, congestion, and a general disregard for her rights).
John Payne, 62 Corte Maria Avenue, CV, finished Mrs. Payne's presentation by noting the
additional noise which would be added by the Family Recreation Center and Family Fun Center
including laughter, screaming, lights from the ballfields, bicylists, etc. .
Roy Shepard, 28 Las Flores Dr., CV, had been involved in several meetings talking about the
proposals. One of their main concerns for the people living in the area was development. The
neighborhood never wanted development. Because it had been unzoned, the area was often used
for unsightly purposes and the City did not have any authority because there was no zone. The
neighbors wanted it to remain open space because it was a visual gateway to the City; would like
to maintain the greenbelt; did not want to add more density--there already was a big impact to
schools; would like to protect the llnimlll species already there and being eliminated. Once the
open space is gone, it is gone forever. There is already a noise factor, and if the Fun Zone is
there, more noise would be added. The northern part of the City had formed the tax base of the
City from the beginning for the City to expand. They had paid for a lot of the infrastructure
for other parts of the City, particularly to the south and southwest, and a little to the east. They
C~4

felt they should be helped in the assessment fees for open space. The neighborhood did not
think the appraisal for the open space was fair--that it was too high. It was landlocked with no
access, and of no value unless there were roads to the area. They also had a problem with the
$15,500/year mamtenance cost. They did not understand why it would cost that much money
to maintain the 14.25 acres as open space.
Charles Bradley, 29 Second Avenue, CV, was not in opposition of the project. He was in
favor of the Commission's interpretation of the General Plan. He thanked the Commissioners
who advocated that the citizens of the area be listened to, for pointing out that greenbelts and
parks were important, and that the idea of the greenbelt concept could be eroded. He
underscored that when the trailer park notion came up before, it had drawn strong resistance
from the residents. Having the area unzoned misleads the developers; leads to unattractive and
unpoliceable uses of the land--consisting of dumpsters, oil rigs, trash, rusted hulks of
automobiles and old tool sheds. He encouraged the Commission to maintain their sensitivity to
the greenbelt concept and encourage that Chula Vista should enjoy the visual gateway to the
community. He also spoke of the noise from the freeways, but also it could be a positive thing
in that the drivers could see an open area. He wanted to support and encourage the Commission
to stand behind the General Plan in designating the area as open space and seeing it as the
backbone of the community as a strong definition of the quality of life that they hope to enjoy
in Chula Vista and not adding to the density of traffic, the intensity of crime, and the over
commercialization and the loss of what could become a beautiful asset to their community.
Alfred R. Welker, 168 N. Del Mar Avenue, CV, did not feel the assessment district should
include such a large area. Seventy-six of the petitioners lived on Las Flores Drive which
adjoined the proposed open space. The rest live on the south end of the proposed space
overlooking it. There were only two names from Second A venue, and no one from Del Mar
A venue knew about the proposed open space. They had received only one letter stating there
was to be an informational meeting at Rosebank School about two weeks before regarding the
proposed open space. No mention was made in the letter regarding an assessment district--that
it would cost people money to have this open space. As a result, no one from their
neighborhood went. He stated a lot of people were for open space, but when it came to paying
for it --being assessed $200/year in addition to the regular property taxes-many would not be in
favor of it. He thought it should be very clearly put to the citizens of the area--of the whole
assessment district --that they get the information that they would be assessed for the project,
which was possibly several blocks from their home. Mr. Welker did not feel he would get any
benefit from it. Regarding the area being a gateway to the City, he felt the City should pay for
it, not the citizens of the small locality. Mr . Welker believed those closer to the benefit area
should pay a larger assessment.
Ted Bell, 111 N. Second Avenue, CV 91910, of Kampgrounds Enterprises Inc. (KOA),
referring to pages in the Issue Paper, noted that page 3, referred to property located in the
floodplain area--where was the property on the priority list for the federal agency to do the
necessary study, and who had to request that. That may be a problem if the property is not left
as open space. Page 5, the mobilehome park relocation and the draft EIR--they would object

to any comments in the Issue Paper regarding the Em. It was never accepted and the
community found many errors and omissions in it. On page 6, regarding geology, the
community was not.asked about this. There is an enormous filled area with trash, which the
community used for a dump 0n the 14 acres that the City holds which could be pointed out. On
page 8, the reference using traffic studies from the draft Em which was flawed. On page 12,
limited recreational use in an open space area. He asked if the City or any agency was going
to consider upzoning the unzoned area that was agriculture to anything other than agriculture,
that they (KOA) be zoned instead of agriculture to Visitor Commercial, which would be more
appropriate. If anything other than Visitor Commercial, KOA had the problem of having to
come back and apply for permits to change, and they may fmd themselves with a problem going
into a specific plan at an enormous cost. On page 25, KOA had stated prior to the consultant
doing the assessment district planning, that the only fair way of assessing would be that it be
weighted and that those having the most benefit would pay the most, and that was not done.
They had also questioned making the district so large that the benefit to some of those people
would be questionable. The City paid $165,000 for this property; the appraisal was for
$620,000 and the appraisal was flawed. It needed to be adjusted down to a reasonable price.
Regarding the maintenance cost, the area was not a high maintenance area, and he felt this was
an inappropriate estimate for a level, undisturbed area. Regarding access from the Rosebank
area, it would require condemnation of property to which property owners are opposed. Mr.
Bell requested that the Fun Center not operate after 9:30 p.m.
Commissioner Tuchscher asked Mr. Bell which alternative he saw as most beneficial for the
KOA. Mr. Bell stated that Alternative 2 would be most desirable because of the open space.
Answering Commissioner Tuchscher, Mr. Bell stated their concern regarding the Fun Center
would be hours of operation and the traffic. They did not see the Veterans Center as a problem;
the IPG Plan would not be a problem other than traffic and taking away some of the open space
and greenbelt area.
Commissioner Tarantino asked, if the land was developed, how people would get on the land.
He understood KOA would be giving part of their land to build a road. Mr. Bell stated there
was a 60' easement across the northerly part of their land for the IPG property only. For Mross
and the City property, they would have to negotiate with IPG and possibly KOA to get access.
There was presently no road; only a driveway being used for heavy equipment to get to the
dumpsters. There was presently a publicly-owned pathway on the dike.
Robert L. McCauley, 1987 Bucknell St., CV, representing the Veterans, stated that the State
has an approved bond issue for $24 million to be build a home for the Veterans. He noted that
the Veterans Administration had not decided where to locate another Veterans Home. The
Council had officially identified parcel D and, if the State would accept it, they would build a
Veterans Home there. This meets the requirement for low-income housing. Mr. McCauley said
the State had not indicated whether they would take the land. When the proposal came in for
the commercial fun center, an alternative site was suggested. No action had been taken to
acquire it. Without the City having acquired the alternative site, and until the State indicates
whether or not they would not take the alternative site, the present site should not be given over
~-t

to any other use. Mr. McCauley suggested that any funds used to buy the land go back into the
City to be used to offset and [rod another location that would be acceptable for a Veterans
Home. A Veterans Home would bring jobs to the community. The families visiting the
veterans would be 'using KOA facilities. The veterans would not be using any resources.
Commissioner Moot asked how the land would be purchased for the Veterans Home. Mr.
McCauley answered that the land was already owned by the City and the City would donate it
to the State. The State would commit $12 million to build the Veterans Home and would
maintain it, operate it, and employ all the State employees to operate it. Commissioner Moot
asked Principal Planner Bazzel if that was consistent with the Redevelopment Agency having
acquired it as low-income housing. Mr. Bazzel said he did not know all the full details. Mr.
McCauley said it was approved by the Redevelopment Agency as a use.
Commissioner Ray asked the location of the alternative site. Mr. Bazzel stated it was adjacent
to Sharp's Hospital off Telegraph Canyon Road. The Sweetwater School District currently owns
it. Commissioner Ray asked if the School District had been approached about selling the
property and if it was a viable option. Mr. Bazzel understood negotiations were in the process.
Commissioner Tuchscher questioned the obligation to hold out a land use of that particular
property for a potential eventuality of a project coming forward. He cautioned the Commission
about making land use decisions to hold out particular uses based on very preliminary
discussions and correspondence.
Chair Martin stated the issue paper gave five alternatives, which staff would be taking to City
Council.
Bill Ayers, 44 E. Mankato St., CV, representing the San Diego County Veterans Advisory
Counsel to the Board of Supervisors, and the State Legislative Committee for the American
Legion, said they had fought for 10 years to get a Southern California Veterans Home. The
City offered that site, specifically, which was accepted in the report by the Governor's
Commission on site selection July 1, 1993, in the formal report to the Legislature, specifically
siting the Sweetwater KOA site. The offer for a possible additional site came up over the
development of the proposal for the fun farm, looking to a land swap between the City, KOA
properties, and the Sweetwater High School District. The City Council made the offer. The
community did not know it had been offered. There is a dire need in this County, and it was
the only site in San Diego County that was offered out of 600 sites in San Diego County.
It was there, and they wanted to maintain it.
Greg Cox, 3130 Bonita Road, Suite 200, CV, representing Warner PropertieslPacific Malibu
Development Corporation, asked for 15 minutes for an organized presentation. He stated that
the question that needed to be answered was whether this particular site was a community issue
greater than the immediate neighborhood, or was it strictly a neighborhood issue. Mr. Cox
discussed the acreage to be used as a fun center and the amenities it would include. He
introduced Les and Steve Warner who developed the idea of the fun center. He noted the
1.'6- t6t:;
-C -,1'/70
PC Minutes
-10-
July 13, 1994
deficiency of developed parkland in western Chula Vista. He then showed slides of the proposed
fun center. Mr. Cox stated that the family recreation center was envisioned as a public/private
partnership between the City of Chula Vista and the Warner Properties and their fmancial
partner. They propose that they would actually develop, operate, and maintain the fields--the
City would put some money into the dt:velopment, and Warner Properties would put in the
balance, and would take sole obligation and responsibility for the liability insurance, the
maintenance, water, and scheduling for a period of 15 years at which time the recreation center
would be turned back over to the City as a turnkey park. The City would have exclusive use
of the ballfields the equivalent of three days a week; three days it would be available for the
private sector partnership to be available for adult leagues, youth leagues, etc. which would be
on a pay-for-play type of basis. One day would be set aside for the maintenance, watering, and
upkeep of the facilities. Included in the slides shown by Mr. Cox were family fun centers
existing in other cities.
Mr. Cox noted that open space came at a cost--there are maintenance costs. There were
concerns regarding vagrants and fires. The primary beneficiaries of the open space would be
the people who live in the neighborhood. He was concerned that the prices established by the
appraiser were correct. There was a question regarding the City parcel--since it was the original
intent of the City Council for use as low- and moderate-income housing; over $2 million in City
funds had been put into the Sweetwater flood control channel that would enhance the values of
all the properties. Until the property is purchased for whatever purposes, there is no public
access. Mr. Cox thought that perhaps some of the concerns of Mr. Bell would be predicated
on the fact that he had a 60' easement that would have to be provided to provide access to the
IPG property--property which is being used for camp sites which would have to be removed.
There would be an economic impact on the operation of KOA.
Mr. Cox stated there was a great need for youth-serving types of facilities in the City of Chula
Vista. There is a proposal for a senior housing project immediately adjacent to the KOA
campground which would be a good buffering. The school-related problems had always been
associated on residential development; the School Districts had indicated an acceptance of these
types of land uses because they do not involve the generation of new students.
In answer to Commissioner Tarantino, Mr. Cox stated the Fun Center was proposed to be
located on Parcel D on approximately 6 acres. The total parcel was 14 acres. The closest
property line would be at least 400' or 450' to 500' away with a severe slope of approximately
180' up to the properties.
At Commissioner Ray's request, Mr. Cox showed the location of the toe of slope.
Commissioner Moot asked if the floodplain was a feasible place to Pllt construction under
FEMA's current guidelines and regulations. Principal Planner Bazzel stated that the FEMA
maps had indicated the area as being in the floodplain; however, with the completion of the
flood channel it had come out of the floodplain but had not been formally taken off the FEMA
maps. Technically, it was still included in the floodplain by those maps. The Army Corps of
-&-:-S

Engineers studies indicated that the drainage flaps into the flood channel had been sized
adequately to eliminate the flooding potential on that property. There was localized drainage
which came acros~ the property, but the flood gates had been oversized to accommodate the
potential for additional run-off.
Commissioner Salas asked to see the ballfields which would be part of the family recreation
center. Mr. Cox showed the Commissioners a drawing of the ballfields, and stated the concerns
about lighting were legitimate; however, the new Discovery Park had lighted ballfields which
were close to condominiums. The Parks & Recreation Director had received no complaints
regarding the lighting.
Commissioner Salas asked for clarification regarding the City's use of the ballfields. Mr. Cox
reiterated it was subject to negotiation, but the proposal was that the City would have complete
use of the ballfields for an equivalent of three days per week. Three other days would be
operated as a commercial operation; the seventh day would be for tnaintenance, watering, and
upkeep of the facilities.
Answering Commissioner Salas, Mr. Cox stated the proposal to the City would be that the
partnership would have ultimate ownership of the family fun center; they would develop at their
cost the joint use parking lot which could accommodate up to 280 cars; they would tnaintain it
and operate it for the IS-year period of lease; they would then assume the responsibility of
maintaining the ballfields. The land would be provided by the City; Mr. McElliott, the owner
of the IPG property has indicated a willingness to dedicate 8 acres of land, for a total of 16 acres
for a family recreation park--the joint public/private partnership--predicated on having the ability
of having the ability to do something with the balance of his property. Mr. McElliott had
suggested a senior care facility.
Commissioner Salas clarified that for 15 years they would share the use of the ballpark facilities
with the City, the City having access for public use for three days. After 15 years, all of it
would go back to the City with the cost and tnaintenance going to the City as well. Her concern
was that it would not be a public park, and the City has a deficiency in public parks. She felt
a segment of the population would be shut out.
Mr. Cox noted the City could provide free play for the three days they would have it, at no cost
to the City for the tnaintenance.
Commissioner Ray questioned access to the park. Mr. Cox noted that once someone had been
there, they would have no problem finding it. He stated the traffic concerns were legititnate,
but most of the people using the facility would have only one access off North Second Avenue;
they would be willing to work with the residents for an access from the Las Flores cul-de-sac
if desired. Traffic on Second Avenue had dropped significantly since the opening of SR-54.
With this project, it would still be below the 1989 traffic level.

Commissioner Ray asked if the area was zoned in any way which would be incompatible with
Mr. McElliott's ability to use the balance of the parcel, it would preclude use of this parcel for
the family fun center. Mr. Cox noted the parcel could possibly be purchased, and also that Mr.
McElliott had offered 6 acres to be added to the Veterans Home site. If the Veterans Home
were built, it would preclude building the family fun center.
No one else wishing to speak, the public discussion was closed.
In response to Commissioner Moot, Mr. Bazzel stated the City Council was looking for
comments primarily on the Issue Paper and any other reasonable alternatives which were not
addressed in the range of alternatives presented. He noted there were limitations as to the type
of recommendations which the Commission could make given the lack of a CEQA document or
completed environmental analysis.
Chair Martip. indicated some references had been made by speakers that the neighborhood should
not be required to pay some kind of assessment fees when they may not be benefitted, and that
everybody should be told they would be assessed for open space if they would be paying for it.
The Planning Commission was concerned about the intensity of the greenbelt. The public had
to be listened to regarding the Veterans Home.
Commissioner Salas supported Commissioner Fuller in that the public should be listened to; they
want the open space preserved; the City of Chu1a Vista made a commitment to the greenbelt.
On the other hand, while the community wants the open space, the initial studies for the
assessment fees are too stiff. She also agreed that possibly all five alternative should not have
an EIR done--just the first four. She felt Alternative 4 would have a smaller assessment district
with the one park as opposed to assessment with three open spaces.
Commissioner Fuller stated the proposed Veterans Home and the proposed family recreation
center were both proposals which were invited by the current Council for that piece of property .
She felt the Council would not be able to make a decision predicated on only open space; they
would need all the information in front of them. Commissioner Fuller asked if there would be
a thorough ElR on all the environmental impacts or if it would be cursory.
Mr. Bazzel replied that it was their recommendation that all five alternatives would be given the
same weight of analysis.
Commissioner Fuller suggested that the alternatives including the assessment district proposals
have many different ways the assessment district could be formed, how the boundaries were
established, what was included, and what assessment value weight was put on the homes closer
to the properties and those further away.
Commissioner Tarantino agreed that the information would be needed to back up the decision
made; he would be in support of staff's recommendation to have an ElR conducted that would
examine all five alternatives.

Commissioner Tuchscher felt it would be a difficult decision; Alternative 2 and Alternative 5
looked good. If tQe community wanted open space, he felt someone would have to reimburse
the City for that ,asset; somebody would have to reimburse those property owners. The
alternative would be private sector maximization, highest and best use, which would be
Alternative 5. He did not know if an EIR examining all five alternatives or even those two
would give anybody the comfort level to make that decision.
Commissioner Ray felt the assessment district, even though it was far reaching, excluded Third
and "E". He would like more information .from Community Development regarding the
alternative site for the Veterans Home; he would like to hear from Mr. McElliott regarding his
options on Alternatives 4 and 5; leaving parcels as open space seemed like a waste of good real
estate although he could appreciate the neighborhood's concerns; and the value of the parkland
and the need for open space and parks in the western portion of the City.
Chair Martin believed staff should take their recommendations to Council.
Commissioner Tuchscher was concerned about taking testimony from the public without the
meeting being noticed as a public hearing. Principal Planner Bazzel replied that this had been
an ongoing process; the last notice which had gone out to property owners within 1,000 feet also
included the time, date, and place for other commission meetings including the Planning
Commission at which the Issue Paper would be presented. A presentation was given to the RCC
on Monday night; it would be given-to the Veterans Committee, the Housing Commission, and
the Parks & Recreation Commission, and then to the City Council. It was noticed 1,000 foot
radius; however, during the latter stages of preparation of the Issue Paper, the consultant's draft
feasibility study on the assessment district proposed a benefit area which exceeded the
notification boundary. In terms of the assessment district information, the notification for these
meetings did not extend to the complete proposed boundary. Commissioner Tuchscher was
concerned about notification in general, and if it was noticed in a manner that gave the public
the idea that they would be able to provide input. He was not concerned if no public input was
taken; if some was taken but not all, he had a concern.
Commissioner Ray asked how much added cost there would be for adding alternatives on the
site. Mr. Bazzel said there would be a cost factor; he did not have a cost estimate although he
did not see a significant cost difference unless the scope of the land uses was expanded. Most
of the significant impacts would come from the higher, more intense alternatives, and there
would not be much difficulty in analyzing lesser intense uses. Commissioner Ray questioned
if any thought was given to analyzing alternatives 2 and 5 only and reducing the cost, which
would give both extremes. Mr. Bazzel stated that staff did not feel they were in a position to
analyze anyone as opposed to all of the alternatives. He concurred that if an ElR analysis
covered a full range and another alternative fell in the middle, the impacts would be generally
covered. The alternatives, however, were so similar, he did not feel there would be a great
expense in analyzing the first three alternatives.

Commissioner Ray questioned the concern by KOA regarding having to obtain permits, etc.
Mr. Bazzel replied that staff felt enough guidelines could be applied to the Specific Plan that the
KOA operation could continue without any threat of acquisition of their property as open space.
Commissioner Ray asked why multiple zoning was not a proposal. Mr. Bazzel stated that
through the specific plan process, all of the land uses on the site could be dealt with in a
cohesive manner in terms of access, setback requirements, strategic landscaping--something that
is unique to this site that might be more restrictive than the current Zoning Ordinance standards.
That type of planning would provide better compatibility for adjoining areas.
Commissioner Moot stated he would like the Issue Paper, either with Alternative 2 or some part
of another alternative, to take a closer look at the incorporation of the area into a greenbelt, the
ability of the City to spread the cost of that on a greater basis than the assessment district
proposed, and the ability to use open space as passive parks.
With Chair Martin's permission, Mr. Bradley returned to the podium to state that the people in
the neighborhood had been to countless meetings on this particular proposal, and they were tired
of bringing up the same point they had voiced loudly and clearly at different times both formally
and informally. Regarding direction to the City Council, the Planning Commission's most
courageous step would be to support the General Plan and recognize the importance of the
greenbelt and submit to the City Council the adherence of that backbone issue of a greenbelt
according to the General Plan would be a simple, straight forward, unequivocal and final
suggestion that the Commission could propose.
Commissioner Ray commented that Commissioner Tuchscher's concerns about the rights of the
private landowners would be a big issue. The City would not be able to afford to buy the
properties back and leave them as open space, and property owners could not afford to let their
properties sit.

Report on Neighborhood Meeting Regarding the Lower Sweetwater
Valley Area General Plan Amendment
July 15, 1994
date:
BACKGROUND
As per City Council direction, a neighborhood meeting was held on June 29,
1994 to discuss a draft General Plan Amendment for the Lower Sweetwater
Valley area and to report on the feasibility of forming an open space
assessment district for the subject area. The meeting was held at the
Rosebank Elementary School auditorium and was attended by 42 local
residents.
At the meeting, staff gave a presentation on the proposed land use scenarios
for the area, as outlined in the attached issue paper, and presented
preliminary information on the costs associated with the formation of an
open space district.
Most of the questions raised at the meeting centered around the feasibility of
the open space district, the cost per unit, the district boundary
determination, the value of the Agency property, the assessment process,
and the sources of funds available to purchase property.
CITIZEN COMMENTS/CONCERNS
Property appraisal was challenged as being too high and unfounded.
Indicated that the proposed assessment district is not equitable.
Interest in knowing how residents could submit comments on the land
use proposals.
Concern whether reimbursement to the low/mod funds has to be made
irregardless of land use determined.
Requested information on financial resources available to purchase
property.
Requested that the open space district costs be spread over entire City.
Requested information on the assessment district formation process. A
detailed step-by-step explanation was given which emphasized that
residents affected would be given opportunity to vote on the issue.
Opinions expressed about the viability of the Veteran's Home project
considering tl1at there might be better alternative.

. \I...;
This is a letter of protest in response to your recent
proposal to acquire property in Sweetwater Valley (Lower
Sweetwater Valley, General Plan Amendment Issue Paper, 6-29-94)
for the expressed purpose of open space, and especially to
protest the creation of an assessment district to purchase and
support such an acquisition.
I have the following objections which I request response tOI
1. What is the reason behind your proposal to acquire these
parcels for open space rather than for a city park? The land is
too disturbed for the presence of endangered plant or animal
species, and is not large enough to support a diverse natural
animal community, even though many animals may live and forage
there now. As a biologist with the County Parks Dept. I have
observed that urban open space areas of less than 100 acres are
of little long-term value to wildlife, and disturbed sites should
be of 200 acres or more for native animal populations, although
disturbed grasslands generally support a higher population of
rodents, which can then support avian and mammalian predators.
However, without resident large predators such as coyotes to keep
feral cats, racoons and other opportunistic predators in check,
small bird species are limited, particularly the ground nesting
species. Without extensive restoration the parcels you propose to
acquire have little or no value as significant wildlife habitat.
The proximity to the Sweetwater River channel is not significant
as an extension of habitat, as the riparian system of the channel
supports a different animal community than does the disturbed
grassland of the proposed acquisition. Human intrusion into open
space for natural plant and animal communities should be very
limited or precluded entirely. This would limit the value of
this area as an addition to the City's park acreage.
2. If a non-maintained Ropen spaceR is created as proposed,
who will bear the financial burden of maintenance? Even wild
lands require weed abatement, removal of dumped refuse, fencing,
signage, etc. I assume that this yearly fee is proposed be
charged through taxes to the assessment district. What will
this yearly fee be and how long will it continue? If this is to
be part of a greenbe I t park why is it not a city-wide fee?
3. It is inappropriate that the City stands to make a
profit in this way on lands originally purchased' for other
purposes. I strongly protest the City's proposal to compel land
owners in the vicinity of the City's unwanted or unsaleable land
to purchase this land to provide that prOfit. That a public
agency would decide to purchase property that it just happpens to
already own seems to leave the City open to suggestions of
wrongdoing. Has this property been on the open market at this
/g - 1ft
-b--t 10
price? If it has, and has not been purchased, may I suggest that
the price does not reflect "fair market value", and is actually
excessive. The land seems excessively expensive for land zoned
open space or agricultural.
4. I protest the boundaries of the assessment district. If, as
I understand, ,the property owners overlooking the subject area
believe that this area should be open space, let them pay a
greater share of the burden of acquisition and maintenance of the
property. An open space area within the view shed of these homes
would greatly enhance their property values. It would do nothing
for the rest of the properties in the assessment district. This
inequity could be resolved somewhat by the development of a
tiered assessment, with properties more removed from the open
space paying much less than the property owners deriving direct
benefit from the open space. Alternatively, if this site is
designated as a portion of a city-wide greenbelt, then the entire
city population should be taxed for its acquisition and care.
In addition, how were the boundaries of this proposed
assessment district arrived at? Why is Fredrica Manor apparently
purposely excluded? Why were the Eucalyptus apartments near 1-
805 excluded? Why was the industrial area west of N. 2nd Ave.
excluded? Mention was made at one of the meetings of placing the
assessment over the "mesa top". What does that have to do with
reality? That is a comfortable planner's strategy, but then why
not include the south side of E street, and again, why is
Fredrica Manor excluded? They are also on the "mesa".
In conclusion, I strongly protest this proposal, and my
inclusion in the assessment district. The proposal is an ill-
conceived attempt on the part of a few homeowners to protect
their views and property values. The rest of us should not be
forced to subsidize their increased property values through
higher taxes. I also protest the way this exercise has been
conducted. It was unfair not to notify the entire proposed
assessment district that this issue is under consideration.
property owners have the right to know and provide input to the
decision-making process in a timely matter, especially about
issues that affect them so directly.
I trust that I will receive answers to my questions with all
due dispatch. Thank you in advance for your response.

City of Chula Vista, et. al.;
This letter is in response to the Lower SWeetwater Valley Issue
Paper presented at a town meeting in June of 1994. '1'his letter
expresses the position of the sole owners of parcel E (Kross Trust,
5.74 Acres) as designated in the Lower SWeetwater Valley Issue
Paper.
This property was purchased in 1967 at current market prices by Dr.
GeorgeA. Kross as an investment property towards his retirement to
provide income for his wife and family. Since 1967 he has paid the
required taxes as well as the required liability insurance on said
property. When Dr. Kross was no longer able to continue his
practice due to a disability, it became necessary to look for a
buyer for this property. Por a period of years there were several
buyers that offered 500 K for the 5.74 acres in Sweetwater Valley.
When prospective buyers consul ted with the Ci ty Redevelopment
Agency and the Planning Department, no one could or would give the
builders a timetable for development of the parcel. '1'he builders
received no information as to what they could do with the
property. '1'he offers were withdrawn due to the city's inability to
give definite answers on the use of the property.

~
In the Lower Sweetwater Vall er Issue Paper the assessment for
Parcel E (Kross Trust) was stated as 250 K. This does not seem to
be in line with the numerous offers that have been received for the
property in the last few years. Due to the city's indecision. Dr.
Kross has not been able to realize his just and deserved return on
this property.
This letter is a request to the City of Chula Vista to make up it's
mind so that Dr. Kross can realize the retirement investment that
is his due.
please take this into consideration
when
attending to this matter.

TO: Chula Vista City Council
July 19, 1994
FROM: KOA Campground, Ted & Mike Bell, owners
RE: Lower Sweetwater Valley General Plan Amendment Draft Issue Paper
INTRODUCTION:
We would like to outline our views and concerns regarding the issues brought up in
the special study area. KOA is one of two developed parcels ill the Lower Sweetwater study
area. Any changes or development proposals advllllced in the rest of the valley will have a
very large impact on us.
In our 25 year history we have always tried to be a responsible member of our neighborhood.
To that end, we have generally supported and been sensitive to the wishes of the
neighborhood residents.
TIte fol1owing material represents our opinions and thoughts on the various proposals being
offered by the GPA study area issue paper presented by city staff.
OPEN SPACE:
In keeping with the wishes of the majority of our neighbors, we recommend that the
city property be maintained as open space. There are a range of possibilities within the open
space designation that could encompass outright preservation in a natured state to leasing for
an agricultural purpose. Any of these would be acceptable to us.
Regarding the formation of an open space district, there are several important issues to be
resolved.
First, the district should only encompass the redevelopment agency owned property at
this time. Attempting to purchase al1the vacant property is too expensive and will fail to get
enough support from the neighborhood.
Second, the appraisal nsed to establish the value for purchase by a district is seriously
flawed. TIle value is far too high. TIle appmiser failed to take into consideration seveml
factors which would reduce the value of the property. He based his valuation on the
hypothetical purchase of al1 three vacant parcels as a whole rather than considering them
separately. He failed to take into account the fact that the redevelopment agency owned
property has no legal access. It is landlocked (which is one of the reasons they bought it so
cheaply). He also failed to al10w for drainage and other development problems like needed
fill and cleanup costs. TIlere is a FEMA flood overlay on the property with 110 predicted
timetable for removal. Removal may require costly improvements. He also ignored its
current general plan designation of open space.
TIlird, TIle study undertaken to fonn the open space district failed to include a key
element that was requested hy staff and the neighborhood. TIlat was a graduated assessment
based on proximity or benefit fmm the open space property. TIlis element is needed to be
fair to al1 residents of the proposed district.
ACTIVE USE PARK:
We are opposed to the concept of an active or passive use park. It would be too
I~- I 'I?
-E-1.
costly to build and maintain. There is another active use park only 1/2 mile away. TIle
location's close proximity to National City would probably mean that Chula Vista residents
would not be the predominant users of the park. We have grave concerns regarding security
of a park. It could become a magnet for gang activity, dmg dealers and the homeless. There
will be a single entrance and exit to the area. When police respond to problems, offenders
will scatter into the neighborhood and our park to evade capture, TIlis will disturb residents
and put them in hanll's way.
VETERANS HOME:
We do not think that this use would pose auy problems for us. We do think that the
noise level in the valley from 1-805 and SR 54 exceeds current city thresholds and would
make pennanent residency uses undesirable.
CONGREGATE CARE/RETIREMENT HOME
See veteran's home above.
FUN CENTER:
A fun center and playing fields could have sonle beuefit to us by increasing visits to
our park. It is difficult to predict how much. We have some security concerns if the center is
not profitable and/or is not mauaged properly. We would strongly object to the fun center
aud the ball fields opemting after 9:30 PM beC<lIIse the noise would disturb our guests. We
enforce quiet hours from 10:00 I'M to 7:00 AM. A 9:30 cutoff would allow time for people
to finish their games and depart by 10:00. Late night noise would cause us to lose business.
ZONING ISSUES:
Since we are currently zoned agriculture and are a confonning use under that zone we do not
object to remaining in that zoue provided the undeveloped property retains that zoning also.
If zoning of neighboring property is changecllo allow proposecl development we want our
zoning upgmclecl also. Our current use would probably be most compatible with visitor
commercial. Our primary concern is that we do not become a non-conforming use since we
will have to make substantive changes to our property to allow for the 60 foot roadway
easement for the undeveloped properties.
Leaving the vacant property unzoned is causing problems. Whether the current land
use issues are resolvecl or not, sOllie zoning lTIust be appliecl to the vacant property so that
city zoning enforcement officials C<III do something about preventing the property from being
used improperly as it is now.
OTHER:
City staff have made a statement in the Issue Paper that they think that any of the
proposecluses are fellsible environmentally. We think that it is premature to give an opinion
like that before the environmental studies are done.

PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OF A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR TIlE LOWER
SWEETWATER VALLEY AREA AND REPORT ON NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING-On 12/14193 Council
directed staff to conduct a neighborhood meeting for the purpose of discussing a number of proposals involving the
Lower SweetWater Valley Area. Staff held the meeting and the City is now considering preparation and processing
of a General Plan Amendment for the Lower Sweetwater Valley Area to best accomplish the goals and objectives
of the City's General Plan. Staff recommends that the Agency direct staff to prepare a draft General Plan
Amendment for the Lower Sweetwater Valley Area. (Community Development Director) Pulled from the
Consent Calendar.
Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, gave a brief synopsis of staff activities. Eight bundred
residents bad been noticed regarding the public meeting at Rosebank School and eighty people attended. Their
prime concern was that the lower Sweetwater area remain open space. An additional number of concerns was listed
in the staff report. There were four proposed projects for the lower SweetWater Valley area and those were shown
to the neighborhood groups, i.e. veterans bome, Family Fun Center, demineralization plant proposed by the
Sweetwater Authority, and a 400 unit senior residential project. All the projects would require a General Plan
Amendment and staff recommended they proceed to analyze and develop the correct land use designation, bold
another public forum, consult with the appropriate committees/commissions, and return in three to five months to
Council with a recommended land use General Plan designation for further direction at that time before
environmental analysis began. He bad been contacted by Col. Vargas of the Governor's Veterans Affairs Office
who indicated that the veterans, to his knowledge, would prefer the site by Sharps Hospital as their preferred site
in Cbula Vista. He also felt Cbula Vista was going to be recommended by the Governor in July for funding as OIle
of the preferred sites in California.
Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, gave a brief outline of the process and why the City was pursuing a General
Plan amendment for the area.
Member Rindone questioned if the earthquake fault by the property would bave any impact OIl the f'roposed project.
(
Mr. Salomone responded that staff bad done a preliminary analysis of that and felt at the current time that the
facility could be located on the site by the hospital. The hospital was actually on a site that bad an earthquake fault
and they were able to design around it.

Chairman Nader questioned what the cost would be for the processing of the general plan amendment.
Mr. Leiter responded that it would be a three month study and would require one half-time position within the
Planning Department. A work program had not been prepared.
Chairman Nader felt that information was a prerequisite to considering the item.
Di=tor Goss felt it would be approximately $5,000 - $10,000 in staff time.
Chairman Nader questioned if the person would be hired or if existing staff would be utilized. If existing staff was
used, he questioned what projects would be delayed.
Mr. Leiter responded that existing staff would be used. Staff would be returning with an Advanced Planning Work
Program. A couple of the projects that had not been scheduled yet were the park implementation program, the child
care element, and the Greenfleet trip reduction program. Those projects would either be delayed or extended over
a longer period of time.
Chairman Nader stated the opinion in the veterans community appeared to be split and it was uncertain as to whether
the other site would be available. The City's Veterans Advisory Task Force unanimously recommended that
Council continue to look at lower Sweetwater for that use. The City had offered incentives to the Commission and
he was not under the impression that they would be enthusiastic in assuming the cost of a land use study. If the
City was to use the property for parks or open space he questioned if staff was saying that the costs would be
absorbed anywhere olher than the General Fund. He stated that staff indicated that was correct. He questioned if
there was any legal requirement that the City had to undertake the proposed General Plan Amendment study prior
to amending the GeueraI Plan.
Agency Attorney Boogaard responded that the Agency had the legal authority to do so.
Chairman Nader stated it was a matter of whether or not the Agency felt a study was needed to address those issues.
. Paul Kelpin, 3755 Putter Place, Bonita CA, "",resenting San Diego South County Senior Softha1l
Association and President of the Chula Vista Senior Recreational League, stated they were interested in holding
softball tournaments in the City but they needed the recreational facilities to bring in people from out of state. They
needed an area with multiple diamonds.
. Dr. Mohiner Boomar, 5 Las Flores Drive, Chula Vista, CA, gave a presentation "",resenting those in
opposition. He stated they wanted the area to remain open space. They felt the noise reduction measures proposed
were inadequate. Tbe area would be subjected to chronic health hazards which could result in high blood pressure,
ulcers, increased bear! disease, neurosis and personality problems, and deafness. They also expressed OOIIcem
reprding the affects of carbon monoxide. Heavy traffic flow on Second Avenue also needed to be addressed. The
hours of the Family Fun Center were of OOIIcern as well as undesirable people and dNg and alcohol problems. lbe
brightly lit area would impact the entire neighborhood. The demineralization plant was also undesirable due to the
noise generated by the pumps, storage of toxic chemicals on site, and potential reduction in property values.
Environmentalist coac:ems regarding wildlife also needed to be addressed and they requested an environmentalists
opinion. A petition was being circulated requesting that the area remain natural open space. Notices of the meeting
were only acnt to those attending the public _ing at Rosebank School.
Member Horton questioned if the residents were notified of the Council _ing.
Mr. Salomone responded that staff's interpretation of Council direction was to hold a public _ing and report back
to Council on the results. Eight hundred residents were notified of the public _ing and those attending that
_ing were noticed regarding the Council _ing. It was also in the newspaper.

Chairman Nader stated he bad a problem with that because there was a difference between coming back with a
report on a neighborhood meeting, whicb was what Council directed, and a recommendation that the Agency
proceed with a GP A atudy and environmental work that could lead to a change in land use. Had it only been a
report on the neigbborhood meeting be would have understood why that notification process was used. The item
before the Agency was a recommendation from staff to proceed with specific action that could result in a change
of land use and the Agency may want to consider whether there should be more complete notification before they
proceeded.
Mr. Salomone stated part of the recommendation would be to go back into the neigbborhood and bold another public
forum; none of the meetings were required under the ordinance.
. Lisa Moctezuma-Bender, 48 Las Flores Drive, Chula Vista, CA, apoke in opposition to the staff
recommendation and in support of open space.
. Susan Luzuro, 95 "0" Street, Chula Vista, CA, apoke in opposition to the staff recommendation and in
support of open space. Sbe questioned wby developers purcbased property in areas that were not zoned for their
projects. Sbe felt the City should be more creative, i.e. assessments for the people in the neigbborhood, etc.
. Frank Luzzaro, 95 "0" Street, Cbula Vista, CA, apoke in opposition to the staff recommendation and in
support of open space. He fell the area was the gateway to the City and should nol be developed. He expressed
concern regarding noise from the proposed Family Fun Center. He requested that staff return to the neighborhood
at a meeting at Rosehank Scbool with the process necessary to keep that area open space. They were an organized
community and would listen to whatever was presented to keep it open space.
(
Member Horton questioned if the residents wanted the Agency to consider some type of ..----......t district where
eacb of the families bad to pay into the district annually to keep it open space.
Mr. Luzuro stated be wanted the City to bring to them anything that would make that process possible.
. Damian Zamudio, 478 Parkside Court, Chula Vista, CA, Associated Student Body President-EastLake Higb
Scbool, apoke in support of the Family Fun Center. He fell the Fun Center could be beneficial in providing a new
and positive activity for teens wbile taking them away from the negative aspects of the community. It would also
provide jobs for teens.
. ~aniel Edward Stevens, 1552 Larkbaven Drive, Chula Vista, CA, Junior Class President-EastLake Higb
Scbool, apoke in support of the Family Fun Center. He fell it would be a place for families to come together.
. Terry Costello, Country Vistas Lane, Bonita, CA, Commissioner of Finance-EastLake Higb School, Eagle
Seout, and President of EastLake Higb School Interact, apoke in support of the Family Fun Center. Their
organizations were looking at a reward system for maintaining a certain GPA and be felt activities at the Family
Fun Center could be an incentive.
. Sandee Reyna, 64 Minot, Chula Vista, CA, apoke in opposition of th~ir reco~dation and in support
of open space. Sbe fell EastLake would be a perfect place for the Family Fun Center as there were areas currently
zoned for sucb a project.
(
. Greg Cox, 3130 Bonita Road, Suite 200, Chula Vista, CA, cave an organized presentation on behalf of
Family Fun Center. He emphasized that the facilities being proposed were a newer lleneration type. They bad lush
velletation and sensitive type lillbtinll. He reviewed the geographic location of the various components of the
project. He did not feel the noise from the go-carts would be perceptible and they were willing to allow the
environmental and noise studies speak for themselves. The issue on lipting was a legitimate one, but the newer
generation of ligbting not intrusive on the neigbborhood. Traffic was also a legitimate concern and was another
issue that would be deall with in further environmental studies and EIR. There would be benefits to the community,
i.e. upwards to one bundred employees during the summer and fifty to seventy-five employees for the balance of
I '{~--1/1~

the year. As part of the facility there would be a learning center with a computer lab which would be a free facility
available to adult achools, elementary and secondary achools, business associations, etc. as a community service.
Council had been concerned regarding the lack of recreational facilities in the western portion of the City. The
facility offered a supervised environment for the youth of the community. They had recommended a shared use
of the recreation complex where the City would have full control of use for three days a week. The high school
and elementary achool did not have any concerns regarding the type of land use being proposed, strictly from their
purview _ whether it going to generate additional students for Rosebank Elementary School and the junior and senior
high schools that '.'!ould be serviced from the project. Whether they were talking about the Family Fun Center,
Sweetwater project, family recreation center, or senior housing, there would be no children generated by the
projects. They were in complete support of the staff recommendation. Even if the Agency wanted to pursue open
space they would have to move forward to the next step. The worse thing the Agency could do would be to do
nothing as it was unfair to those proposing projects and to the residents. If the Agency wanted to pursue open space
they needed to look at it as to whether it should be open space acquired by the City, which had not been the policy
of the City over the last thirty years, or to find out if there was an interest on the part of the residents in the
community to purchase the land at fair market value. He hoped if that was something the Agency wanted to do,
they would still allow the planning process to move forward on the other alternative land uses.
Chairman Nader questioned if the traffic access would be off Second Avenue.
Mr. Cox stated that was correct, there was a sixty foot easement that was proposed as access for the veterans home.
Chairman Nader questioned the number of parking spaces.
Mr. Cox responded there were 280 parking spaces and it was a shared area for the Family Fun Center and the
Chula Vista Recreation Center. Projections had been made regarding vehicle trips for the Fun Center and that
information would be supplied to the Agency. It was an off-peak type of traffic pattern.
Chairman Nader questioned if any other sites had been looked at.
Mr. Cox responded that Mr. Warner had been looking in the Chula Vista area for the last 3 112 years and did look
at a number of sites including the Rancho del Rey Business Park. Other possible sites were where the tree farm
was located on "H" Street and 80S, and the proposed Sweetwater site was the only site they had been able to
identify. They also looked at a site across from Eucalyptus Park but it did not work out for a number of reasons.
The Rancho del Rey site was within days of submitting a proposal for the Home Depot.
Chairman Nader stated EastLake was going to bave a requirement to make up some public recreational acreage that
was lost because of a misunderstanding between EastLake and the City as to public versus private nature of parks
in EastLake I. He questioned if there had been diacussions about using the project in one of the future phases of
EI'" .I<e as a means of EastLake _ing that requirement.
Mr. Cox responded that it had not specifically been diacussed, but when looking at the Family Fun Centers in San
Diego County, every one was adjacent to a highway.
Chairman Nader questioned if Mr. Cox had staled that the noise from the g<H:8rts would be d.....,...ed to a level
of insignificance to the nearby residents.
Mr. Cox stated he was convinced that was true, but it had to be established tbrough qualified people. That would
be due to the distance to the closest residence and the small size of the engines. There had been a lignificant
number of changes in the 1l<H:8rls and emissions and noise were within the Slate standardo.
Member Moore felt it was proper for the Agency to review the site and complete the zoning for the &rei as it
perl8ined to the General PlIO. A1ternltives, including open space, along with the various developers desires and
neighborhood desires should be reviewed and returned to the Agency prior to the environmental impact report. The
draft EIR was not official and had to go to the public for review and input. It would then come back as an EIR

l
which would again go out for public review and input with public hearings by the Planning Commission and
Council.
Member Rindone felt it was important 10 IisleD 10 the community. The one theme consistent with the speakers that
needed to be addressed by the Agency was to look at the other alternatives prior to making any motion. Assessment
districts was one option and another option to be considered would be some participation by the City. He boped
if the item was referred 10 staff Ibe option of looking at the DIF fees that were collected for purchase of parks and
open space on Ibe west side of Iown would be examined. The most obvious problem with any proposal, including
Ibe ones be bad mentioned, was Ibe traffic concern which be felt was a critical issue. There was a great deal of
concern expressed by the residents in relationship to the demineralization plant. There was Ibe process of Eminent
Domain available to Sweetwater Aulbority regardless of the wishes of Ibe City. He questioned if Ibe water was
currently demineralized.
. Jim Smylbe, Chief Eogin_, Sweetwater Authority, responded that it was not.
Member Rindone questioned if it was a new process for water in Ibe system.
Mr. Smythe responded that it was not. The quality of the water from the Sweetwater River bad more minerals and
required a different process.
Member Rindone questioned why Ibe process was being started now and why in that location.
(
Mr. Smythe stated Sweetwater Authority's goal was 10 become less dependent on imported water through Ibe San
Diego County Water Authority. That water was becoming more scarce due 10 environmental concerns in Ibe north
and more water from the Colorado River being taken by Arizona. The lower Sweetwater River basin was another
source of water, but because it was poor quality it required a different treatment.
Member Riodone questioned if Ibe water was more alkaline.
Mr. Smylbe responded that the area that drained into the basin was very urbanized so there was a lot of grease, oils,
and olber pollutants. The treatment was called reverse osmosis.
Member Rindone stated from what was being described it was not currently being done anywhere else in Ibe system.
Mr. Smythe responded that was corteel.
Member Rindone questioned how the Sweetwater Authority came to the conclusion that Ibe Sweetwater site was
Ibeir top choice.
Mr. Smylbe responded that the property was about S In acres and they needed only three acres. There was one
olber site at Sweetwater and Plaza Bonita Roads. It was in a flood plain, but would be listed as an alternative site.
Member Rindene questioned what Ibe mineral conleDt was as it entered Ibe site.
Mr. Smythe responded the Aulbority was under a stricl regulatory environment from Ibe EPA and State Heallb
Department. One measure of waler was Iotal dissolved solids and Ibe regulatory requirement was SOO milligrams
per liter. The water going down Ibe river was anywhere from 9,000 10 10,000 milligrams per liter. The water in
Sweetwater Reservoir from rainfall was roughly 1,000 10 2,000 milligrams per liter.
(
Member Riodone questioned what chemicals and other substances would be added 10 Ibe water during Ibe process.
Mr. Smythe responded thai Ibe first chemical that would be added would be sulfuric acid which would allow Ibe
reverse osmosis to act more efficiently. When the treatment was completed Ibere was a compound that would bave
10 be disposed of. Once through Ibe reverse osmosis process another chemical, which he could not remember at
1~-$/7 g

the moment, was added to raise the ph and then sodium hypo-chloride was added as a disinfectant to kill the
bacteria. Two chemicals helped the efficiency and one was used as a disinfectant. They were meeting the
guidelines of the regulatory environment and there should not be a problem.
Member Rindone questioned if there were any gases that could be released from the sulfuric acid or other liquids
that could leak into the environment.
Mr. Smythe responded he was nu: aware of any.
Member Rindone questioned the by-products.
Mr. Smythe stated there would be a concentrate which contained all the minerals. That would be flushed and
disposed of. Their consultant was conducting a pilot program to determine all of the constituents in the by-product
and then they would have to go to the Regional Quality Control Board to see what could be done with the
concentrate. It could be put in the Spring Valley outfall, put back into the river, and there were a number of areas
that had once been wetlands and they had talked to environmentalists about restoring those areas.
Member Rindone questioned whether those options and impacts would be included in any studies.
Mr. Smythe responded that the EIR would address all that.
Member Rindone stated it was is understanding that the water from Sweetwater Authority was chlorinated.
Mr. Smythe responded that it was not fully chlorinated. They used chloramines which was chlorine and ammonia.
Again, it was a regulatory environment.
Member Rindone stated he wanted assurance that those issues would be addressed. Another issue that had not been
addressed, which had been raised at the Rosebank meeting, was the safety issue of the facility.
Member Horton stated one of the concerns expressed was how much noise the facility would generate.
Mr. Smythe responded there would be noise from the pumps but they would be contained within the building. The
building would be constructed to attenuate any sound and would meet any noise thresholds imposed by the City.
Member Rindone stated it was important there was a thorough examination of the issues as it was something that
was beyond the authority of the City due to the possibility of Eminent Domain. He had also been told that there
would be containment on-site of any leakage so there would not be contamination of the ground water.
Mr. Smythe responded that any of the tanks containing chemicals would have containment facilities to ensure there
would not be a leak.
. Cary Wright, Director, Sweetwater Authority, felt Member Rindone's questions were well founded.
Reverse osmosis and demineralization of water was not new and was being done all over the world. To leave any
kind of impression for the public that the Sweetwater Authority would in any way try to pass off any type of safety
hazard to the community was totally inappropriate. Of the twenty-four water agencies in San Diego County,
Sweetwater Authority was probably the most environmentally concerned as they protected the upper Sweetwater
River and fought the Pointe Gosnell development. Of the three chemicals mentioned, the facts should be fully
presented to the people. The EP A and State regulations protected the public on that issue. There were DOl that
many places to put such . facility and be appreciated the concerns presented by the public, but felt once they saw
the facility and the way it would be landscaped and low noise levels produced, it would be the least of the problems
created by the other proposaIs being considered. The bottom line was that they were importing 90" of the water
and it was predicted there would be less water next year. Sweetwater Authority had an opportunity to become more
independent and therefore give their customers . better break. The citizens should be assured that be would have
no part in any kind of . danger to them or their children. The Council and citizens should get behind the water

(
collUDunity to see that they bad a change to deliver more water because the future of water in San Diego CowIty
and South County was in very desperate straights.
Member Rindone stated the COncern of the residents was not only the water supply and costs, but the safety aspects
and the Council bad a responsibility to ensure that those were being done. He felt the number one issue was the
traffic impacts and also the commitment the City had to the veterans home.
. Deseret Moctezuma, 48 Las Flores Drive, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Rosebank Safety Patrol, stated
there were people that were driving in the area that students did not know and were playing loud music and it was
scary. There bad been an attempted kidnap near the school and she and other students were scared.
Chairman Nader requested that the faculty advisor contact the Police Department regarding the potential kidnapping.
There was also an ordinance that regulated boom boxes and the Police Department would work closely with those
on the Patrol so no student would be afraid to serve on the Patrol.
Member Fox was concerned the residents were not notified of a meeting where the Agency was requested to take
action. He questioned whether the proposed facility by the Sweetwater Authority would impact the other alternatives
proposed.
Mr. Salomone responded that it had not been assessed in detail, it looked like the Sweetwater proposal could go
on its discreet property witbout impact on the other facilities.
(
Member Fox appreciated the COllUDents by the representatives of the Sweetwater Authority and knew for a fact that
the collUDents made were true. He agreed that the worse thing the Agency could do would be to do nothing or go
back and study it again. The issue needed to be resolved. He wanted to give the residents an opportunity to bave
what they really wanted, Le. open space. The City needed to be fair to everyone and allow them to make their case
and that was what an EIR would do. It would give the Agency information on traffic, noise, air pollution, and other
problems regarding the proposed projects. If it was going to create significant impacts that could not be mitigated
be would not support it. It was the first time he bad beard from the neighborhood that they wanted open space and
were willing to pay for it also. The Agency also bad the duty to look at the Family Fun Center proposal as it
establisbed facilities in an area that was facility poor. He was not endorsing anyone particular project, but was
giving all alternatives an equal opportunity.
(
Chairman Nader stated he bad only heard of two proposed uses that he was ready to consider supporting. He was
not speaking about the Sweetwater demineralization plant as that was something under the jurisdiction of the
Sweetwater Authority and the City's jurisdiction would be limited. Of the other proposed projects or uses be would
support the veterans home and park or straight parks and open space wbich seemed to be the clear preference of
those living in the area. Any use other than low/moderate income housing would require that the City's bousing
fund be reimbursed from other funds for that property. There could be ways of achieving that, i.e. an assessment
district or outright purcbase by the City. Once the siting of the veterans facility was announced be would be
supportive of polling the residents in the area as to whether they were interested in selting up an assessment district
for permanent open space acquisition and preservation after the City bad received a reliable figure as to what the
costs would be so the residents would know what the costs would be. He felt there was a need for a Fun Center
somewhere in the City, but he was concerned regarding the impacts on the existing neighborhood and that was why
staff was directed to hold a neighborhood meeting. He boped that if the Fun Center did not locate on the
Sweetwater parcel that it would look at properties in EastLake or other parts of western Cbula Vista, perhaps along
the 1-5 corridor. He bad a fundamental underlying problem with the staff recommendation to proceed to a General
Plan Amendment. Phase II, the environmental process, was required if anything was to be done to the property.
The three items staff indicated would be delayed to accollUllOdate the General Plan Amendment study were of higber
priority than the GPA amendment. He could not support direction to staff to delay those projects and allocate staff
time for a GPA study _ Phase I whicb would basically be preparing a great deal of paper on subjects that bad been
discussed numerous times. If there was a policy decision that the Agency wanted to do an assessment district for
permanent open space, or the Veterans Commission indicated it was willing to go ahead with the veterans project,
or the majority of the Agency wanted to go with the Fun Center, or the Sweetwater Authority came in with ·

Page 8
demineralizatiOD plant, the last part of Phase 1 would have to be drafted at that point. He felt it was putting the cart
before the horse to draft that without specific policy direction. Everything above that OD Exhibit A was essentially
a rehash of what had already been presented, especially if it was done before the environmeotal analysis. He would
be interested in holding a hearing on, and consideration of an actual General Plan Ameodment if ODe was put before
the Agency in response to policy direction by the Agency.
Member Moore stated staff could only do so much and felt there needed to be priorities. He felt staff was going
in the right direction. Northwest Chula Vista WlLi short of recreational activities and the Fun Center proposal gave
the City control over the recreational facilities for three days out of the week for free and after X number of years
it would be turned over to the City. The study should be done, the statistics should come back, the opeo space
district should come back, and the assessment district should come hack.
MS (Fox/Moore) to adopt the staff recommendation - the draft GPA should include costs for an ass ..ent
distrid and open space.
Chairman Nader stated he would vote no for reasons already stated. Everything above the last line OD Phase I was
material that had been discussed on numerous occasions and he would not assign it a high priority.
Member Fox questioned if the staff reconunendation was approved if the review by the boards/commissions would
be included in Phase I, prior to Council receiving the report.
Mr. Salomone responded that was correct.
Member Rindone stated he could support the motion as it was partially what was advocated by the property owners.
He wanted to ensure that any park land fees available for the western area of the City would be looked at as
another option. Agreed to by the Maker and Second of the Motion. It could be an additiODal option, but it was
not intended to deprive the other parks of those D1F fees.
Chairman Nader stated the City had made presentations to the Veterans CommissiOD in the past on a potential
project and he interpreted the motion on the floor as not pulling back on the position. If the Stale Veterans
CommissiOD wanted to work with the City on that proposal the City would remain willing to work with them.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-1 with Nader opposed.
Member Rindone stated an item of such magnitude should never be put on the Consent Agenda.

EXCERPT FROM PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING
OF MAY 19, 1994
.
,
b. Lower Sweetwater Valley Draft Gen. Plan Amendment
Duane Bazzel of the Planning Department pre&ellted the proposed plan for lower Sweetwater
Valley area giving ~ alternatives for the use of this land and ltated that Itaff'S
recommendation was to :ciliate an EIR with an equal1cve1 of analysis for all five alternatives.
The Commission asked questions relative to the practicality of the Veteran's facility and the
impact of location on the potential of Chula Vista to be selected to bave a Veteran's facility.
Commissioner Palma does not support this as a location for a Veteran's facility due to the
noise factor. However. be does support the concept of the family fun center.
Greg Cox presented the conceptual site plan for the Family Fun Center and explained the
proposed joint use concept for the facility.
Commissioner Hall concurred witb Commissioner Palma to support the conceptual site plan.
It is his feeling that this ties into the Youth Action Plan, and wbi\e many details have to be
refined, but be does IUpport the plan in concept.
Ted Bell, KOA Campground, feels the fun center would have some benefit by increasing visits
to the RV park, bowever be bas security concerns if it is not managed properly and strongly
objects to ba1lfields operating after 9-.30 pm because the noise would disturb the campground's
guests. He also expressed concern as a taxpayer as to wbere the funds will come from to
build tbe roadway into the fun center. In addition, be objects to baving an active park in the
area as it will attract additional gang activity to the area.
Mo Goomar, a resident of Chula Vista, spoke in opposition to the fun center. AI a resident
of the area, be would like to see the area preserved for open space. He elaborated on the
effect of noise on bealth and feels that the combination of fun center and veteran's facility
is not a bealtby onCo He feels that his comments are typical of the feelings of most of the
residents of the area.
Commissioner A1evy thinb that the area is currently an eyesore and a blight on the City. It
is his feeling that the Commission is tasked to act on bebalf of all of the residents of Chula
Vista not just on behalf of the residents of one particular neighborhood. He feels that this
area is a gateway to the City and sbould be developed to be consistent with the new image
of Chula Vista wbich is one of a vital, active community. He bas been out in the community
talking with, not only residents of the area, but also residents of all areas of Chula VISta. He
strongly supports Option #5.
Commissioner Willett is in favor of a draft EIR.
Commissioner Sandoval would like to see the dollar benefit to the City included in the issue
paper. It is ber feeling tbat use of the ballfields 3 days a week adequate compensation to the
City. She favors the fun center but questions the desirability of the location She feels that
this land is a critical link in the greenbelt.
J~~:(o S'
Commissioner Carpenter concurs with Commissioner Sandoval in that she docs not feel that
it is an appropriate site for the fun center. In addition, she would like information on the
opportunities for young people for employment at the fun center.
Commissioner Hall would like to ace more attention addressed to having housing in the area
rather than commercial. He also is concerned about the building of a road in this area
because of the type of land and the expensive modifications that would have to be made to
make a roadway feasible. It is his fccling that there is no better location for a fun center in
the City.
Commissioner Palma thinks that the issue of where the money comes from to build the road
is not an issue for this Commission, but an issue for Qty Council.
Commissioner Helton is not in favor oC locating either a Veterans's facility or a senior care
facility in the area. She also feels that a fun center should close earlier than 11:00 pm on
week nights.
Motion to suppon the draft issue paper and to convey the Commission's comments and
concerns to Planning Cor the EIR.
MSUC WII.LEITICARPENTER 7-0
Commissioner A1evy thinks that the topography oC the land as well as its past uses and
current condition should be better defined in the issue paper in Section 4.1.5. It is his
opinion that the current dialogue creates an inaccurate picture of the land in the mind of the
reader.

Mr. Mayor, and members of the Chula Vista City Council.
My name is Lee "Buck" Kitlinger. I live at 451 Orsett St.
Chula Vista, and have for 20 years with my family.
This letter is to comment on the recreation/Family Fun
Center coming up before council.
I don't know if you are aware of a group called the Chula
Vista Youth Sports Council representing Youth Sports of Chula
Vista but, there is such a group. We Meet once a month in the
cities parks and rec, building.
Enclosed you will find a list of the members and the
organization they represent.
I would like you to know that at last months meeting (June),
the Warner Properties development of a Family Fun Center was
presented to us by Mr. Greg Cox and Warner Properties. This
concept.' as it is on paper now, was turned down and found
unacceptable. The part unacceptable was not the Family Fun
Center, but the proposed softball fields. Much to my surprise
the member in attendance representing softball thought the
softball fields should be replaced with soccer fields. The
reason he did this is understandable, as there are no soccer
fields in Chula Vista. I can imagine you are saying "what dose
he mean there are no soccer fields."
There are no soccer fields in Chula Vista. We have to use
the outfields and in some cases parts of the infields of the
baseball. softball. and T-ball diamonds to set up a soccer field.
This takes the fields away from those sports and limits there
playing.
We in the Sports Council have come up with a season use
permit for the sports in season. The problem now being we are
all playing year round in Southern California and in Chula Vista.
The first plan for this complex was for two soccer fields,
but the director of Parks and Rec. did not want any over lay of
soccer on to the softball fields. So the second soccer field was
converted into a indoor outdoor arena. Here again "soccer" was
short changed. Why wasn't the request made to do away with one
of the softball fields.
I'm starting to think everyone is saying "the heck with
soccer."
I myself have been involved with soccer in Chula Vista for
15 years. AYSO, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, California Youth
Soccer Association. and indoor soccer programs allover Chula
Vista, San Diego County, California, and other states.
I have been on the Chula Vista Youth Sports Council since it
began, and have represented the Chula Vista Youth Soccer League,
the South Bay Select Soccer Club, and the California Youth Soccer
Association for the last three years.
I am and have been vice president of the Chula Vista Youth
Soccer League and South Bay Select Soccer Club. I have also been
field coordinator and field and equipment manager for the last
three years. I am also with the Chula Vista High Soccer team and
I have been co Tournament director and field coordinator for the
last two years of the San Diego Spring Classic Easter Soccer
Tournament.
I 'if ~/~() 7
I I personally would like to invite any member of the city
council to come to monthly meeting of the Chula Vista Youth
Sports Council. The next Meeting is August 11. 1994 at 7:00 P.M.
in the cities Parks and Rec. council charriliers
I would be glad to answer any questions I can and I will be
sending the city council a "Soccer State of Condition" in this
city.
Did you know there are no "SOCCER" fields in Chula Vista?
Did you know there is at least between 2.500 and 3.000
youths playing soccer in this city not including high school and
adult leagues?
Enough for now. I will be sending you more facts and
information at a later date.
Respectfully. for youths in soccer

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 26, 94
Presented By Mohinder (Mo) S. Goomar, M.D.
Chairman,
Lower Sweetwater Valley Open Space Committee.
The Lower Sweetwater Valley area is a gateway to the City Of Chula
Vista. A properly maintained open space In this location would be a
welcome interlude in the vast urban and suburban asphalt jungle.
The overwhelming majority of the residents surrounding the valley
voted and signed petitions supporting the open space in March 94. The
community suggested to the City Council about the formation of two
assessment districts:
One covering the entire 38 acres of vacant land.
Second district based mainly on the purchase of the
City owned property.
A public meeting was held by the City of Chula Vista on June 29, 94.
The land use alternatives were presented. A consultant was hired by
the City to conduct the feasibility study to determine the benefit
area and obtain cost per unit for acquisition and maintenance of the
open space. The benefit area extended from SR-54 to E st. and 1-805 to
fourth ave., roughly 1000 feet from the center of the valley. The
benefit area contains 868 equivalent dwelling units (EDU's). The city
also obtained appraisal for the three vacant parcels of land. The
following are the appraisal values:
IPG parcel (18.24 acres) 795,000
City of Chula Vista parcel (14.25 acres) 620,000
Mross parcel (5.74 acres)
250,000
The acquisition cost of all three parcels Is 1.984 millions or roughly
2 millions dollars. The per unit assessment comes to $218 per year
for 25 years.
The board of directors of the Open Space Committee met and discussed
the input from some neighbors. They felt the acquisition cost of
entire 38 acres piece of land though desirable and cherished probably
will not be acceptable by the majority of the neighbors. The owners of
the KOA campground who represent 135 EDU's or 16% of the district, are
not in favor of acquisition of all vacant land.
I cr ~~ I \
"
Ideally we would like to have all of It as open space.
It mayor may not be financially feasible since we received the
appraisal. We will have to go into the community to ascertain their
final interest. As prudent neighbors we believe the larger assessment
district may not be feasible. However, we will have to know what the
community has to say in our future meetings and mailings.
The purchase of 14 acres City owned property will be less burdensome
and financially more acceptable. The acquisition cost Is $744,000, $94
per year or $7.66 per month. It assumes a maintenance cost of over
15,000 dollars a year. This figure Is rather high. This property Is
all natural and not landscaped. This should not require Intensive
maintenance. Howing for fire prevention and trash pickup once a year
would be adequate and should not take more than 24 hours per year. We
also believe the appraised value is too unrealistic. It is landlocked.
The appraiser based his value on assumed combined purchase of all
three parcels, not Individually. The appraiser also applied the same
per square foot value to all parcels. Clearly, a speculative buyer
would pay less for the the land-locked parcels than one with the
deeded access. He mentioned strong community objections and blockage
of development plans in the past. But he failed to assign proper
negative Impact on the value of the property. A savvy Investor will be
reluctant to buy a property In presence of vehement objections by the
community. The subject land Is also in the flood plain and amenable to
liquefaction-jelly like state in case of earthquake.
The property Is unsightly because of following reasons:
Unzoned part of the IPG property has been used for mobile home sales
and repair; concrete and roofing contractor's yard; waste hauling
company yard and storage of toxic material and hazardous waste hauling
trailers. These are possibly zoning violations with fire and health
hazards which the city need to look seriously into.
When we consider all these negative factors the value of the subject
property might drop. It is possible the monthly assessment may even be
less than $7 per month. We also suggest to the staff to take creative
measures to further reduce the maintenance cost like community
gardens, tree farming, or horse stables etc.
Although the neighboring community will be assessed. Let me re-
iterate, the open space is not our backyard problem. We believe it
should be Chula Vista issue. Because like nature's trail or walk It
would not only benefit Close-by community but also the whole of Chula
Vista. The open space should not be made a small neighborhood Issue.
In Los Angeles County voters approved a bond program in the past for
acquisition of open space. Why does not San Diego County initiate
similar program?
I~' ~ t.Q
Recently we discussed our proposal to buy City owned property with the
City attorney. A question was raised about legality of what we
proposed. In response we state that we would do whatever is legal to
provide access to the Mross property. In the slides shown by the
proponents of the Family Recreation and Fun Center the Mross land is
clearly left land-locked. I wonder, how the City attorney would
respond to that.
Next I would address the Issue of noise. The Lower Sweetwater Valley
is heavily impacted by two major sources of noise, SR-54 to the north
and 1-805 to the east. In 1989 noise measurements were done during
peak traffic hours on 1-805. The noise level along the east boundary
of the project was 68db, 3 decibels above the City's minimum
acceptable level of 65db for residential areas. The noise is expected
to increase with the progressive increase in the traffic on 1-805 and
SR-54.
The noise will have serious impact on any residential developments
inCluding senior center or veteran home. The sound reduction measures
have been suggested In the past. But none can contain the wind
velocity and direction. The plantation of trees may be aesthetically
pleasing but I doubt these can control noise. The erection of walls
may also not be fully effective against the wind and future increase
in traffic.
As a physician I am aware of the Impact of noise on health. The
inhabitants of the valley will be exposed to chronic health hazards.
These health Incapacities may be Initially Imperceptible. But later
might cause deafness, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, increase in
heart disease and various psychological and psychiatric disorders.
The carbon monoxide pollution from heavy vehicular traffic Is
additionally a problem.
I think It Is unwise and Inhuman to subject seniors or veterans or for
that matter anyone, to this unnecessary physical and emotional
trauma. We think City may even be liable for permitting such area for
any residential use.
The land in the valley Is very low lying. The 1-805 and SR-54 totally
dominates the view. The residents either would see the walls of their
rooms or outside view the massive concrete slabs of the freeways. In
short it is very bad site for any good projects.
We honor the rights of the property owners. We support the existing Rl
zoning and development consistent with that zoning so long as it is
environmentally safe to do. The Impact on the schools has to
considered too. To change zoning to high density dwellings will be
rewarding the questionable or risky judgement shown in purchase of
these properties.
J~"J/3
~
We understand City would lease the 14 acres piece of land presumably
at nominal cost for 15 years to the Family Recreation and Fun Center.
Also IPG reportedly is donating 6 acres of land to the Fun Center.
What exactly is expected of City in return?
What contributions are requested of the City of Chula Vista for the
development of Fun Center? It has been suggested the City develop the
easement road and possible off site requirements. These may cost the
City around $750,000. What would City get in return? A three days a
week use of the ball fields! Is it worth it? I am all for public and
private joint ventures but this does not sound prudent.
Besides the ambient noise of around 65db the ball fields and go karts
etc. will generate their own noise. The kids and adults would be
yelling and screaming in the frenzy of games. The neighbors presently
hear the noise from the Eucalyptus ParK at considerable distances.
The gang style drug activity will increase. The gangsters would
disperse and infiltrate into the surrounding neighborhood on Police
arrival once the only exit is blocked.
Reportedly the J street park closes at 7 PM on account of gang and
drug activity.
Being close to National City the Fun Center would draw people mostly
from National City.
Lastly, the Demineralization plant by the Sweetwater authority appears
to be least objectionable. It is stated that the building would be
only two storey high and aesthetically and architecturally pleasing.
It would not generate much traffic and practically no noise. The
landscaping would be done expertly with adequate input from the
community.
We would be reasonable people. Although it will not be exactly an open
space we will agree to that.

July 25, :t994
Dear Members of the Chula Vista City Council,
I would like to voice my opinions on the proposed land use
options for the Lower Sweetwater Valley. I will outline each
issue below.
Appraisal of land:
It seems to me that the land appraisal for this property is
to high. The fact that this property is landlecked)and it's
historical use as agriculture should have been considered when
appraising the value.
Family Fun Center:
Using this property to site a Family Fun Center would be
completely incompatible with the neighborhood. The noise generated
by the fun center machines (bumper boats, go-carts, and water slide)
would contribute to the already unacceptable noise levels. contrary
to what the Star News editorial says, the noise will not blend in
with the freeway noise. Whenever there has been anything happening
in the valley (vehicles, generators, even voices) I have been able
to hear it quite distinctly. In addition to machine noises there
would be noises from the sport fields. I already have a difficult
time sleeping because of traffic noises. This would certainly
excaberate this problem.
It would also generate increased traffic on streets which are
already quite busy and unpleasant to live near because of the
inconvenience, noise, and air pollution.
The proposed lighting for the fiadswould not only illuminate
my yard but force me to purchase heavy drapes and keep them drawn
in order to shut out the light.
The family fun center would also certainly increase crime in
our area by drawing gangs from Chula Vista, National City, Spring
Valley, Paradise Hills, and Southeast San Diego.
As the gateway to Chula Vista this property should be a
asthetically pleasing and approriately used. A Family Fun Center
is not what is needed.
J~--)')
-2-
Financing the Family Fun Center with even a portion of
city park funds is completely inappropriate. These funds
should never be used for a commercial enterprise. The
developers in this part of the city where unable to provide
open space but did pay into the PAD funds. Considering that
those funds should be used to provide a benefit for this
neighborhood, not a private individual who wishes to make
money at the expense of our neighborhood and the environment.
The developers of the Family Fun Center have been gath~ring
signatures on a petition in favor of this project. It's notable
that they are gathering them at places such as Ralphs Grocery at
Bonita Point Plaza. Of course they will have some success there.
ihose people certainly don't want it in their neighborhood!
Senior Center/Vet Home~
These 2 projects would basically cause the same types of
objections: noise (from cars, generators, air conditioners, trash,
and people), lisht pollution, traffic, air pollution, ... visual
blight, and loss of open space.
Park:
This would be attractive but unfortunately would invite crime,
noise (music, parties, traffic, people), and light pollution (if
it had lighted playing fields).
Open Space:
This is the only viable alternative. It would give this area
of Chula Vista very much needed open space, add to the greenbelt,
provide a wildlife corrider, and be a visually appealing entry to
Chula Vista.
Assessment District for Open Space:
I would recommend that the assessment district include only
the city's 14 acres at this time so that it would have a better
chance of being approved.
Sincerely,
Daniel and Sandra Renk

RE: Lower Sweetwater Valley General Plan Amendment Draft Issue Paper
,
INTRODUCTION:
We would like to outline our views and concems regarding the issues brought up in
the special study area. KOA is one of two developed parcels in the Lower Sweetwater study
area. Any changes or development proposals advanced in the rest of the valley will have a
very large impact on us. In our 25 year hislory we have always tried to be a responsible
member of our neighborhood. To that end, we have generally supported and been sensitive to
the wishes of the neighborhood residents. The following material represents our opinions and
thoughts on the various proposals being offered by the GPA study area issue paper presented
by city staff.
OPEN SPACE:
In keeping with the wishes of the majority of our neighbors, we recommend that the
city property be maintaiued as open space. There are a range of possibilities within the open
space designation that conld encompass outright preservation in a natural state to leasing for
an agricultural purpose. Any of these would be acceptable to us.
Regarding the formation of an open space district, there are several important issues to be
resolved.
First, the district should only encompass the redevelopment agency owned property at
this time. Attempting to purchase all the vacant property is too expensive and will fail to get
enough support from the neighborhood.
Second, the appraisal used to establish the value for purchase by a district is seriously
flawed. The value is far too high. The appmiser failed to take into consideration several
factors which would reduce the value of the property. He based his valuation on the
hypothetical purchase of all three vacant parcels as a whole rather than considering them
separately. He failed to take into account the fact that the redevelopment agency owned
property has no legal access. It is landlocked (which is one of the reasons they bought it so
cheaply). He also failed to allow for dminage and other development problems like needed
fill and clean up costs. There is a FEMA flood overlay on the property with no predicted
timetable for removal. Removal may require costly improvements. He also ignored its
current general plan designation of open space.
TIlird, TIle study undertaken to form the open space district failed to include a key
element that was requested by staff and the neighborhood. TImt was a graduated assessment
based on proximity or benefit from the open space property. This element is needed to be
fair to all residents of the proposed district.

.
ACTIVE USE PARK:
We are opposed to the concept of an active or passive use park. It would be too
costly to build and maintain. There is another active use park only 1/2 mile away. The
location's close proximity to National City would probably mean that Chula Vista residents
would not be the predominant users of the park. We have grave concerns regarding security
of a park. It could become a magnet for gang activity, drug dealers and the homeless. 111ere
will be a single entrance and exit to the area. When police respond to problems, offenders
will scatter into the neighborhood and our park to evade capture, 111is will disturb residents
and put them in harm's way.
VETERANS HOME:
We do not think that this use would pose any problems for us. We do think that the
noise level in the valley from 1-805 and SR 54 exceeds current city thresholds and would
make permanent residency uses undesirable.
CONGREGATE CARE/RETIREMENT HOME
See veteran's home above.
FUN CENTER:
A fun center and playing fields could have some benefit to liS by increasing visits to
our park. It is difficult to predict how much. We have some security concems if the center is
not profitable and/or is not managed properly. We would strongly object to the fun center
and the ball fields operating after 9:30 PM because the noise would disturb our guests. We
enforce quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. A 9:30 cutoff would allow time for people
to finish their games and depart by 10:00. ulte night noise would cause liS to lose business.
ZONING ISSUES:
Since we are currently zoned agriculture and are a conforming IIse under that zone we do not
object to remaining in that zone provided the undeveloped property retains that zoning also.
If zoning of neighboring property is changed to allow proposed development we want our
zoning upgraded also. Our current use would probably be most compatible with visitor
commercial. Our primary concem is that we do not become a non-conforming use since we
will have to make substantive changes to our property to allow for the 60 foot roadway
easement for the undeveloped properties.
Leaving the vacant property unzoned is causing problems. Whether the current land
IIse issues are resolved or not, some zoning must be applied to the vacant property SO that
city zoning enforcement officials can do something about preventing the property from being
used improperly as it is now.
OTHER:
City staff have made a statemeut in the Issue Paper that they think that any of the
proposed uses are feasible environmentally. We think that it is premature to give an opinion
like that before the environmental studies are done.
Copies to: Resource Conservation Commission, Planning Commission, Ad Hoc Veterans
Committee, HOllsing Advisory Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item~
Meeting Date 7/26/94
ITEM TITLE: Public hearing to consider testimony on the establishment of Zone 8 in Open
Space District 20 for Rancho Del Rey Development for the perpetual
maintenance of a de silting basin
Resolution I? 58'ZtabliShing Zone 8 within Open Space District No.
20, confirming the report, ordering the improvements and levying the first
year assessments at $0 for Fiscal Year 1994/95
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ryJ
REVIEWED BY: City ManagerJ~ ~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoXl
A desilting basin was built by McMillin Development in City open space off-site of Rancho del Rey
land to trap silt which washed down from the upstream development. After maintenance by
McMillin for 5 years, the City will have to maintain the basin. Formation of Zone 8 within Open
Space District 20 will provide financing for this maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council conduct the second public hearing to consider testimony on
the establishment of Zone 8 in Open Space District 20, for Rancho Del Rey Development for the
perpetual maintenance of a desilting basin; and adopt the resolution establishing Zone 8 within Open
Space District No. 20, confirming the report, ordering the improvements and levying the first year
assessments at $0
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Back!!round
Pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code,
and the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the City Engineer has prepared and tiled this report.
The report includes a new zone for assessing properties, within Rancho del Rey development,
tributary to a newly constructed desilting basin located at the downstream end of the Bonita drainage
basin to pay fQr its maintenance and maintenance of an access road for hauling silt cleaned from the
basin. Establishing a zone for maintenance of the basin is consistent with Council Policy which
states that naturalized channel costs may be recovered through an open space district.
The heavy rains of the winter of 1992-1993 carried silt from the newly graded Rancho del Rey, Spa
II subdivision and deposited silt into the downstream pipes at Bonita Road and the Willow Street
bridge area. The builder and owner of the properties, Rancho del Rey Investors, agreed to construct
an access road as well as a desilting basin to forestall future problems. Pursuant to our policy,
McMillin Development Company is responsible for maintaining the basin for 5 years following
completion of the grading. Staff anticipates that the basin will be turned over for maintenance in July
1999. Subsequent to that date the City will maintain the basin using the funds collected through the
Open Space District 20, Zone 8.
/9-1
Page 2, ItemH
Meeting Date 7/26/94
Boundary
Staff proposes that a zone within Open Space District 20 be established to assess the properties
tributary to this desilting basin (See Figure 1).
Maintenance and Costs
The anticipated maintenance items are debris and silt removal from the desilting basin and
maintenance of the access road. This maintenance will be necessary to ensure that there will not be
excessive build-up of silt which would subsequently reduce the needed capacity of the basin and thus
could cause siltation downstream. The design engineer, Group Delta Consultants, estimated that the
basin can accumulate 428 cubic yards of sediment before cleaning is required (See Attachment B).
The design engineer has estimated that the annual sediment yield into the basin after the five year
maintenance period will be 200 cubic yards. This will allow for a two year cleaning interval. In
addition, the maintenance road will need to be regraded twice a year and replaced every 8 years.
The estimated cost of this maintenance is identified in Table I.

Methodolo~v
The methodology for spreading Zone 8' s cost is based on the amount of storm water runoff
anticipated for the various land uses on an acreage basis. Only those parcels which are tributary to
the desilting basin are proposed to be charged. Table 2 summarizes the factors used to determine
the spread which is consistent with the methodology used for Zone 1, East H Street desilting basin
within this district. The calculation is based on one (1) dwelling unit per acre (DUlAC) at $35.18
per year. Other yearly rates are multiples of the spread factor times the $35.18 per year assessment
(see Table 2). A typical assessment is $35.18. There are 546 parcels in the zone with spread factors
ranging from. 33 to 1 depending on the parcel density.

SUBMIITED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
A desilting basin was built by McMillin Development in City open space off-site of Rancho del Rey
land to trap silt which washed down from the upstream development. After maintenance by
McMillin for 5 years, the City will have to maintain the basin. Formation of Zone 8 within Open
Space District 20 will provide fInancing for this maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open and close the frrstpublic bearing to consider testimony
on the establishment of Zone 8 in Open Space District 20, for Rancho Del Rey Development for the
perpetual maintenance of a desilting basin. The second public hearing is scheduled for July 26,
1994.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Back2round
Pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code,
and the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the City Engineer has prepared and f1led this report.
The report includes a new zone for assessing properties, within Rancho del Rey development,
tributary to a newly constructed desilting basin located at the downstream end of the Bonita drainage
basin to pay for its maintenance and maintenance of an access road for hauling silt cleaned from the
basin. Establishing a zone for maintenance of the basin is consistent with Council Policy which
states that naturalized channel costs may be recovered through an open space district.
The heavy rains of the winter of 1992-1993 carried silt from the newly graded Rancbo del Rey, Spa
II subdivision and deposited silt into the downstream pipes at Bonita Road and the Willow Street
bridge area. The builder and owner of the properties, Rancho del Rey Investors, agreed to construct
an access road as well as a desilting basin to forestall future problems. Pursuant to our policy,
McMillin Development Company is responsible for maintaining the basin for 5 years following
completion of the grading. Staff anticipates that the basin will be turned over for maintenance in July
1999. Subsequent to that date the City will maintain the basin using the funds collected through the
Open Space District 20, Zone 8.
~
1,\-,
Bnunrlarv
Staff proposes that a zone within Open Space District 20 be established to assess the properties
tributary to this desilting basin (See Figure I). All property within this zone is presently owned by
Rancho Del Rey Investors or one of their guest builders.
M~int"n~nc.e and Cost~
The anticipated maintenance items are debris and silt removal from the desilting basin and
maintenance of the access road. This maintenance will be necessary to ensure that there will not be
excessive build-up of silt which would subsequently reduce the needed capacity of the basin and thus
could cause siltation downstream. The design engineer, Group Delta Consultants, estimated that the
basin can accumulate 428 cubic yards of sediment before cleaning is required (See Attachment B).
The design engineer has estimated that the annual sediment yield into the basin after the five year
maintenance period will be 200 cubic yards. This will allow for a two year cleaning interval. The
maintenance road will provide access from the south and is to be constructed of a 6 inch section of
decomposed granite. The road will need to be regraded twice a year and replaced every 8 years.
The estimated cost of this maintenance is indicated in Table I.

Methodolol!v
The methodology for spreading Zone 8's cost is based on the amount of storm water runoff
anticipated for the various land uses on an acreage basis. Only those parcels which are tributary to
the desilting basin are proposed to be charged. Table 2 summarizes the factors used to determine
the spread which is consistent with the methodology used for Zone I, East H Street desilting basin
within this district. The calculation is based on one (1) dwelling unit per acre (DUlAC) at $35.18
per year. Other yearly rates are multiples of the spread factor times the $35.18 per year assessment
(see Table 2). A typical annual assessment is $35.18. There are 546 parcels in the zone with spread
factors ranging from .33 to I depending on the parcel density.

Cost Estimate for Maintenance of Gabion Retention Basin
Dear Donna:
In response to your letter of March 23. 1993. ....e present the
following estimate of the cost to maintain the retention basin ....hich
bas just been constructed downstream of Rancho Del Rey SPA II. The
basin is to be maintained by funds from District No. 20 after an
initial maintenance period by us. This estimate assumes that Rancho
Del Rey ....ill maintain the basin for the nnt five years.
approximately. during ....hich the residential .ubdivisions upstream
'Will be completed.
The design engineer. Group Delta Consultants. has estimated that 428
cubic yards of sediment can be deposited in the retention basin
before it ....ill require deanina. They bave estimated the sediment
yield in the drainage basin. at the time 'When the District ....ould begin
. .
maintenance. to be about 200 cubic yardS per year. Therefore they
estimate that the basin 'Would need to be deaned every other year.
In a1ddition to cleaninl the basin. "We assume that lome minot
maintenance to the access road "Would be required 10 that trucks
could haul the .ediment out. The access road also is an equestrian
trail and 'Will receive lome level or maintenance because or that.

REVIEWED BY:
On May 24, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution 17504 declaring the intention to establish Zone E
within Eastlake Maintenance District NO.1 (ELMD1) to provide for the maintenance of Telegraph Canyon
drainage channel pursuant to the City/Eastlake Development Company agreement. The first public hearing
was held on July 19, 1994. Tonight's second public hearing will consider testimony for assessing benefitting
properties within Eastlake Maintenance District No. 1 for their pro rata share of the costs and, once the
hearing is closed, Council may levy the first year's assessments at $6.20 per equivalent dwelling unit.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the second public hearing, take testimony, close the hearing;
direct staff to tally protests; and, if no majority protest exists, adopt the resolution establishing Zone E within
Eastlake Maintenance District No.1, confirming the report, ordering the improvements and levying the first
year assessment.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On May 24, 1994, Council declared its intent to establish a zone (Zone E) within ELMDl for assessing
properties for maintenance of the section of Telegraph Canyon drainage channel recently improved. Council
reviewed several alternatives (Attachment 1) and adopted the staff recommendation in this report. Tonight's
public hearing will consider testimony for establishing Zone E within Eastlake Maintenance District NO.1
(ELMD1) to provide revenue for the drainage channel maintenance. The first public hearing was noticed
for July 12, 1994 and was continued to July 19, 1994. After this second hearing, originally noticed for July
19, 1994 and continued to tonight, Council may take action to establish Zone E and levy the corresponding
assessment. Council approved the levy of assessments for FY 1994/95 for ELMDl Zones A and B on June
21,1994 which overlap Zone E. The proposed, combined assessments are shown in Attachment F.
The following report outlines the boundary of Zone E, assessment schedule, maintenance costs,
methodology, and notice requirements.

Boundarv. Assessment and Maintenance Costs
The method of assessment spread approved on May 24 consists of assessing all benefitting properties within
Eastlake Business Center and Eastlake Greens via Zone E, ELMDl. Table 1 outlines the proposed
assessment for properties within the proposed boundary of Zone E.

Staff proposed that Zone E ultimately cover the cost of the channel maintenance for the three phases of the
channel between Eastlake and the end of the improvements at the western boundary of Rancho del Rey east
of Paseo Ladera. The boundary and future areas of benefit as shown on Attachments A and B are all of the
currently undeveloped properties within these limits and include Sunbow II, Baldwin, Rancho del Rey SPA
3, and Telegraph Canyon Estates. Staff has calculated Eastlake I and the Green's prorated share of the
overall channel maintenance to the undeveloped properties (Rancho del Rey, Baldwin, etc.) at approximately
20.4 % as outlined in Table lA. Staff anticipates creating a zone within various future and existing open
space maintenance districts to incorporate the cost of all three phases in future and existing districts where
the properties drain into this channel.

Table 2 outlines the cost of channel maintenance by construction phase. The amount includes the cost for
removing silt at the silt fences and removing invasive plant material. See Attachment C for an itemized cost
breakdown.

SUBTOTAL $40,280 $8,213 $21.34/EDU
FORMATION COST 571 $ 1. 48/EDU
TOTAL $8,784 $22. 82/EDU
It is proposed that Eastlake Greens and the Business Center be assessed their pro rata share of only Phase
1 of channel maintenance in FY 94/95 (Table 1) because staff anticipates that the other two phases will not
be ready for turnover.
The above table also incorporates the cost of formation of the district. Staff proposed and City Council
approved that the cost of formation of Zone E be spread among the benefiting properties in the same manner
as the maintenance cost. Eastlake Development Company has advanced the funds to form the zone within
the open space district and is required to be reimbursed from the district pursuant to the development
agreement (Attachment E).
Methodologv
The methodology for spreading Zone E's cost is based on the amount of storm water runoff anticipated for
various land uses on an acreage basis. Table 3 summarizes the factors and outlines the various rates based
on land use. This is consistent with the methodology used for another City open space district which
includes channel maintenance as a responsibility. The calculation is based upon I EDU/AC at $22.82 per
year assessment. Other yearly rates are multiples of the spread factor times the $22.82 per year assessment.
A typical residential assessment in Zone E for the channel maintenance is under $5.00 per year.

Notice and Public Hearinl!s
All owners within ELMD1 were notitied of the proposal to establish Zone E within ELMD1 and those who
fall within Zone E and will pay the additional cost were notified of the proposed assessment based on the
estimated future cost pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Staff also conducted a meeting
on June 23 to provide information regarding Zone E to any interested property owner within ELMD!.
Representatives from Eastlake Development Company and the Eastlake golfcourse were in attendance and
do not oppose the Zone. No other property owners attended.
The assessment may not be imposed if a majority protest, by assessable land area, exists after the close of
the second public hearing. Staff has received one written protest included as Attachment H and also received
two phone calls against this proposal out of 300 properties proposed to be assessed.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of formation of this zone and the cost to analyze the overall basin is estimated
to be $14,000. Eastlake Development Company has deposited the funds for this work.
Approval of Zone E, after tonight's second public hearing will provide $1,815 of revenue to be used for
channel maintenance and $571 to be used for reimbursing Eastlake Development Company for district
formation costs Fiscal Year 1994/95. The balance needed for the channel maintenance for Fiscal Year
1994/95 will be provided by Telegraph Canyon Estates, OSD 31, ($534) and Eastlake Development
Company ($6,552) pursuant to the City/Eastlake Development Company agreement. Ultimately, when all
three phases of drainage channel maintenance is turned over to the City, Eastlake Development Company's
obligation will increase to $29,646 (73.6%) until the other properties in the drainage basin develop.
All costs are calculated at full cost recovery rates.

WHEREAS, the San Diego Chapter of the Sierra Club, among others, has filed
an action (U.S. District Court Case No. 94-920 GT) against the International Boundary
and Water commission (IBWC), the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
other agencies and persons to halt the construction of the International Treatment Plant
(ITP) until such time as certain studies are performed to review the desirability of
designing and constructing the ITP using Advanced Integrated Ponding Systems
methods as opposed to the mechanical systems now proposed; and
WHEREAS, experts have warned that any delay in seeking construction bids and
other preliminary steps towards construction ofthe mechanical primary treatment phase
of the ITP would likely result in a delay in the actual construction of the primary treatment
phase of the plant; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista is extremely concerned that
any delay in the construction of the primary treatment phase of the ITP could cause
irreparable harm to the residents and visitors of the City of Chula Vista as a result of
additional sewage spills, beach closures, adverse publicity, and a variety of other
problems; and
WHEREAS, numerous elected officials have joined in opposition to any delay in
construction of the ITP as it is now designed; and
WHEREAS, the City is informed that the local chapter of the Sierra Club would
agree to dropping the remainder of the lawsuit if a fair and impartial study finds
Advanced Integrated Ponding Systems to be an inappropriate technology to replace the
proposed mechanical treatment now proposed for the ITP:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista that:
.25'6../
1. The City of Chula Vista is strongly opposed to any delay in the
construction of the ITP, and especially the primary phase of the plant which
is scheduled to go out for construction bids in October 1994.
2. The City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby demands that the local
chapter of the Sierra Club drop its opposition to the construction of the
mechanical primary treatment phase and enter into a negotiated settlement
with the IBWC and EPA for future study of Advanced Integrated Ponding
Systems for secondary and tertiary treatment purposes.
3. The studies of Advanced Integrated Ponding Systems for secondary and
tertiary treatment should be performed by such engineers and technical
experts as are mutually agreeable to Sierra club local chapter, IBWC and

Implementation of the Endangered Species Act Special 4(d) Rule for the Listing of the
California Gnatcatcher
VIA:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Late last year the Federal Department of the Interior adopted the special 4(d) rule regulating the habitat
take of the California Gnatcatcher, which is now listed as a threatened species. This special rule links
protection of the bird to the California Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) process.
Prior to the preparation of an overall NCCP plan, the process allows the "take" of up to 5% of Coastal
Sage Scrub (CSS), which is the habitat for the Gnatcatcher. During the past several months City staff
has been working with staffs from throughout the region to develop a process to allow local agencies to
implement this "take" process.
One of these points of contact is the Regional Conservation Coordination Committee under SANDAG.
After much discussion, this Committee concluded that the region's allocation of the 5 % take should be
based on a jurisdictional formula, wherein each jurisdiction would be allocated 5 % of the total coastal
sage scrub habitat located within their jurisdictional boundary. The City of San Diego has moved ahead
on this basis and adopted 4(d) take procedures, and the County has adopted an interim ordinance. City
of ChuIa Vista staff has never endorsed this formula, finding that the allocation available for Chula Vista
under this formula (approximately 107 acres) would not accommodate development of projects which
have already received discretionary approvals and have in some cases received approval from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service for mitigation plans.
Our staff has been in discussions with U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and
Game, and County staff regarding this matter. Attached is a copy of a letter we recently sent to the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service regarding these issues. On April 29, we also met with the County of San
Diego's Resource Protection Ordinance Committee, which is working on these issues with County staff,
and they directed County staff to continue to work with our staff to resolve this issue. We plan to return
to City Council with a Council Agenda Statement addressing these issues and other issues related to the
California Gnatcatcher listing and NCCP program on May 24.
More recently a U.S. District Judge voided the Interior Department's listing. We have been consulting
with the City Attorney's office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies to determine the
implication of this ruling. The Council Agenda Statement of May 24 will provide greater detail in this
regard.
If you have any immediate questions regarding this issue, please call Doug Reid or myself at Extension
5101.

Subject:
Interim Habitat Loss Approval Process for Federal Endangered Species Act
Consistency 4(d) - Jurisdictional Take Allocation
Dear Mr. Kobetich:
Through our recent discussions with you and your staff and our review of the Final Rule for
implementation of the 4(d) Rule within our jurisdiction, we have become aware of potential
problems with the currently proposed allocation of habitat by jurisdiction within San Diego
County. The City of Chula Vista would have serious difficulties implementing the 4(d) rule
within its jurisdictional boundaries unless alternative methods of allocating acreage for interim
take are adopted.
The City of Chula Vista has not entered into a formal agreement, nor have we formally endorsed
the use of the jurisdictional acreage allocation formula previously discussed by the SANDAG
Regional Conservation Coordinating Committee (RCCC). We did concur with other members
of the RCCC that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USF&WS) should be consulted regarding
the potential use of such a formula. We never assumed that asking USF&WS if such a formula
would be acceptable would be interpreted as Chula Vista's unconditional approval of tIus
possible method for allocating the region's 5% take.
We believe there are a variety of issues that must be resolved in considering how the 4(d) rule
will be implemented in region. Those issues are as follows:
. It is our understanding that "Takes" that exceed a local agency's 4( d) allotment must
pursue a Section 7 or 10(a) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which the Service
may approve. These Section 7 or 10(a) permits will count against the region's overall
5 % take, and the jurisdictions' RCCC 4(d) allotment. Section 7 and lO(a) approval from
the Service may exceed a jurisdiction's allotment and preclude the use of the 4(d) rule.

Under this scenario, it is conceivable that the region's 5 % take will be exhausted before
all of the jurisdictions grant permits up to their 5 % jurisdictional allocation or a
jurisdiction's 5% allocation could be reached prior to the region's 5% allowable take.
The result could be that the jurisdictional allotment will be de facto overridden by the
Service without approval from the affected Cities unless this issue is dealt with early in
the process.
. Because of the large amount of CSS "Take" allocated to the County of San Diego versus
urbanizing cities, the RCCC jurisdictional allotment does not encourage habitat "Takes"
within urbanized, fragmented, low quality habitats where the long term viability of the
species is questionable. The jurisdiction allotment does appear to encourage habitat
"takes" in rural high quality habitat areas where the long term viability of the species is
more probable than in the urbanizing areas.
. The RCCC jurisdictional allotment is based on the corporate boundaries of the Cities and
the County of San Diego. It does not consider the likely boundaries of future
preservation areas that will be adopted in the MSCP and/or NCCP. The MSCP/NCCP
preservation boundaries will not necessarily relate to municipal boundaries but rather will
follow logical biological boundaries. Specifically, the adopted NCCP Conservation
Guidelines state that "recognizing that large subregions must meet the objective of
limiting short-term CSS losses on a biologically valid scale. some further subdivision of
a large planning subregion into appropriately sized biological subareas for the purpose
of accounting for interim habitat loss may be necessary." (p.lO) Therefore, a system
should be devised that more closely aligns the interim preservation with the biological
subareas which will ultimately be used in developing a long-range plan.
. The RCCC jurisdictional allotment does not consider the viability of habitat in each
jurisdiction. This could lead to fragmented habitat areas as each jurisdiction proceeds
to implement the 4(d) rule independently without regard for connected viable habitats.
. A Special District within the boundaries of a local agency may potentially use all or a
portion of a local agency's RCCC jurisdictional "Take" allotment without approval from
the affected local agency.
- The City of Chula Vista has worked closely with the County of San Diego and other local
agencies and will continue to so on efforts to adopt a regional plan for implementation of the
4(d) rule and/or alternative methods of allocating the interim take among jurisdictions. We
believe it is within the intent of the 4(d) implementation guidelines that the fragmented,
urbanized, low quality habitat should be the first considered for a "take" and that the rural areas

contammg high quality habitat should be preserved for the future planning efforts of the
MSCP/NCCP.
We appreciate your consideration of these points and look forward to working with your office
towards the resolution of the issues we have presented and the implementation of the 4(d) rule
in our region.

JUSTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY ORDINANCE
IMPLEMENTING THE 4(d) RULE
1. The emergency action is necessary to adhere to very specific biological time
periods with respect to impacts to the California gnatcatcher. Grading must be
initiated during the non-breeding period or "biological window", the period of
September 1st through February 15th. Failure to begin grading during the
upcoming "window" in the Rancho Del Rey SPA III area will result in delays of
one year or longer to the construction of the Rancho Del Rey Junior HighlMiddle
School, adjoining community park, and other desired public improvements..
2. The Rancho Del Rey Partnership currently has in escrow approximately 400 acres
of off-site mitigation land in the O'Neal Canyon area (approved by the City
Council on July 12,1 994) which is a keystone property within the regional open
space preserve system. Close of escrow and resulting property preservation is tied
to the immediate enaction of the 4( d) rule. Failure to enact the 4( d) rule could
result in the loss of this valuable habitat.
3. Both public and private projects are being delayed pending implementation of the
4( d) rule.
