BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2007 the Chula Vista City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance
amending Section 2.66.040 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. Currently, the Municipal Code
allows alcohol to be served at special events at three City owned recreation centers. The amendment
added an additional three recreation centers to the existing centers that may serve alcohol. This
resolution will allow beer, wine, and champagne to be served at the board and commission reception
at Montevalle Recreation Center on June 18, 2007, one of the newly included recreation centers,
prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day waiting period for the ordinance amendment to take
effect.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State of CEQA
Guidelines because it does not involve a physical change to the environment; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject
to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council approves the resolution.

DISCUSSION
The City annually hosts an event to honor the many individuals who serve on, and devote
countless hours of volunteer time to, Chula Vista's Boards and Commissions. This year
that event will be held at Montevalle Recreation Center on June 18, 2007. Over the
years, the number of persons on the City's Boards and Commissions has grown to such
an extent that there are a limited number of venues in the city that can comfortably
accommodate everyone. The Montevalle Recreation Center is of sufficient size to
accommodate all board and commission members.
It is customary to provide a no-host bar at Board and Commission receptions. In this
event there is a non-City sponsor that will provide for wine service at no cost to the
participants. The event caterer obtains all necessary state and City permits. The current
ordinance that regulates the sale or serving of alcohol at special events is limited to three
recreation facilities: Rohr Manor, the Chula Vista Women's Club, and Norman Park
Center. The newly adopted ordinance expands the list of permitted recreation facilities to
include, Salt Creek Recreation Center, Veterans Park and Montevalle Park. However, the
effective date of the change in the ordinance, which will allow for beer, wine, and
champagne to be sold and served in these recreation centers, will not be effective until
four days after the Boards and Commissions reception. This resolution allows the
caterers to provide alcohol service at the reception without violating the existing
ordinance.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the property which are the subject of this action.
