Ordinance 2408 F
I
Item 4- II Page 2
Meeting Date 10/25/90
At its meeting of October 16, 1990, Council placed all of the above
Ordinances representing an array of options, on first reading with
the intention of deferring public discussion of the proposed
business license tax increase until October 25, 1990, at which time
council would decide whether to place one of the Ordinances on
second reading.
Attached for council information is the staff report from the
October 16 meeting (Attachment NO.1). The staff recommendation
in that report is referred to as Ordinance 2408 A in this report,
and the Chamber of Commerce's Executive Board has previously
endorsed its major provisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council place Ordinance 2408 A, providing for a two year phase
in, on second reading.
NOTE: This item is directly linked to Resolution 15898 in Item B,
which provides several corresponding (principally administrative)
changes in the city's Master Fee Schedule. Item B also addresses
the Downtown Improvement District assessments. As such, this item
should be considered in concert with the Resolution modifying the
Master Fee Schedule.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On October 10, staff mailed letters to 6500 Chula vista business
license holders. This letter described the proposed business
license tax rate increases in Option A of Ordinance 2408, informed
them that the issue would be discussed at the October 16 Council
meeting, and provided a City phone number for licensees to call
with any questions.
As of 10:00 a.m. on October 19, only 36 calls were received by City
staff, including the Mayor and Council office. sixteen of the
callers were requesting information only and had no problems with
the proposed increases. Five callers had complaints regarding
services provided by the Downtown Improvement District, or the
District assessment. Four callers had no problems with the current
rates or proposed increases but requested some changes in the
current business license tax structure: 2 electrologists requested
they be classified as general business as cosmetologists are, and;
2 out-of-City-based companies making deliveries in Chula Vista
believed a wheel tax would be easier to compute than an employee-
based tax. These specific issues will be reviewed and appropriate
recommendations made to the Council at a future date.
2.
Item "A Page 3
Meeting Date 10/25/90
Only 11 of the 36 callers had complaints regarding the proposed
business license tax increases:
4 licensees believed the rate increases were too large, and
would accept smaller increases.
4 licensees believed there should be no tax increase at this
time.
3 licensees would prefer a tax based on gross receipts,
believing it to be more equitable.
Chart 1 provides a summary matrix of the options. The following
is a more detailed summary of the Ordinance Options:
Ordinance No. 2408 A - provides for a 2 vear Dhase in of the
increase, 50% of which increase will occur in 1991, 100% of which
increase will occur in 1992. It provides for a ~ annual growth

annual abatement hearing.

increase, 50% of which increase will occur in 1991, 75% of which
increase will occur in 1992, and 100% of which increase will occur
in 1993. It provides for a ~ annual growth in rates in 1994 and

Item~page 4
Meeting Date 10/25/90
Ordinance No. 2408 F - provides for a 3 vear phase in of the
increase, 50% of which increase will occur in 1992, 75% of which
increase will occur in 1992, and 100% of which increase will occur

thereafter. Annual abatement hearing proceedings are provided,
commencing for the 1994 rates, so that Council may choose to set

There are also two terms that are common to all of the above
options:
1. To assist new, smaller businesses, businesses with 5 or fewer
employees will be charged a lower, flat rate during their
first year, and
2. To facilitate the phase-in of the new rates on larger
businesses wi thin the City, staff is proposing that the
maximum, annual tax paid for any single business license not
exceed $7,000 in 1991; $12,000 in 1992; $16,000 in 1993 and
$20,000 in 1994. The maximum amount would be increased 5% per
year, starting in 1995.
Following is staff's previous reports regarding the proposed
business license tax increases including Tables 1 and 2 indicating
the actual business license tax rates for a two or three year
phase-in.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If Council accepts staff recommendation for a two-year phase-in
schedule, then $290,000 in additional business license revenues are
projected for calendar year 1991, and $721,000 in additional
business license revenues are projected for calendar year 1992.
If a three-year phase-in schedule is preferred by council, then
there will be $290,000 in additional business license revenues in
1991, $505,000 in 1992, and $721,000 in 1993.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item II A
Meeting Date: 10-16-90
do. t.fo9
ITEM TITLE: Ordinance: Amending Title 5 and Section
8.20.020 of the Municipal Code
Regarding Business License Tax
Rates.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance
REVIEWED BY:
City Manager
(4/5ths Vote: Yes__ No-X )
On June 6, 1990 staff submitted a report to Council
(attached) on the City's Business License Tax. That report
indicated that the primary business license tax rates
currently in effect had been modified only once (in 1978)
since 1954. The report recommended changes to bring the
City's tax rates more in line with those presently charged
by other cities in San Diego County, including a
recommendation to change the current tax structure, which is
primarily based on a business' number of employees, to a tax
structure based on a business' gross receipts.
Since June, City staff have received input from various
groups concerning the report's recommendations. Based on
the feedback received from the business community, staff
have revised their recommendations concerning the business
license tax, and are presently recommending that the
existing per-employee tax structure be retained and that the
proposed rate increases be phased in over a two year period.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council place the ordinance on its
first reading.
NOTE: This item is directly linked to the fOllowing
resolution which provides for several corresponding
(principally administrative) changes in the City's Master
Fee Schedule. As such, this item should be adOPted in
concert with the resolution modifvinq the Master Fee
Schedule.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable

DISCUSSION:
As highlighted in the City's Manager's 1990-91 bUd~et
presentation, Chula Vista has had to rely on a serles of
one-time "windfalls" to help balance its operating budget
over the past several years. In order to reduce the City's
reliance on such problematic, one-time occurrences, the City
Manager suggested that steps to taken to look at ways of
enhancing-CitY-rev.eiiaes as-~welFas-fleighteHing efforts to
control costs. - - - - _ _
(
As detailed by the City Manager, Chula Vista had the second
lowest per-capita staffing ratio among seven comparison
cities in San Diego County (population over 50,000). While
operating at a relatively efficient level, staff are always
looking at new ways to enhance performance. Over the past
several years these have included (1) developing new
scheduling and operational procedures in the Public Works
Operations Division to improve the productivity of the
City's concrete repair crews; (2) redesigning Library
operations to increase staff's productivity in processing
books and (3) automating a vast array of City functions,
including implementing a computer aided dispatch system
(Police and Fire) and a computer aided design system
(Engineering) to enhance day-to-day operations.
Staff have also been actively pursuing ways to enhance City
. revenue, including (1) the development of an auto-park; (2)
expanding reimbursements from the Port of San Diego to more
fully cover the costs of city services; and (3) reviewing
City fees and tax rates including the need for any new fees
to ensure that new development fully pays for impacts on
City services. One area under review since January, 1990
was the City's business license tax. The report issued by
the City's Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation (PAPE)
Unit in June, 1990 showed that:
c
In FY1988 Chula Vista's business license revenue
represented only 1.29% of the City's general revenues,
compared to a statewide average of 5.8%. This was the
10th lowest rate among 78 charter cities in California.
By FY 1989, Chula Vista's business license revenues
declined even further, representing only 0.9% of the
City's general revenue base. Only 11% of all
California cities received less than 1% of their
genera~ revenues from the business license tax.
On a per-capita basis, Chula Vista generated the second
lowest business license revenue among 18 comparison
cities in California (populations of 100,000-150,000)
and was also second lowest among comparison cities in
San Diego County (population over 50,000). By holding
sales tax revenues constant, the PAPE analysis showed
that the major factor producing the low level of
~
/
I
f
[
business license revenue was the City's relatively low
business license tax rates themselves.
(
The original staff report presented to Council in June, 1990
recommended that the City's tax rates be brought into line
with rates charged by other cities in San Diego County.
staff also recommended at that time that the tax structure
be modified from the current tax based on number of
employees to a tax rate based on gross receipts. A gross
receipts tax is the prevailing tax method employed by the
comparison cities within the County and within the State.
The original proposed changes in the business license tax
were published in local newspapers, including the Chamber of
Commerces' newsletter. Since June, staff have made
presentations to and received input from various business
groups within the City. Based on the feedback received from
the business community, the proposed change in the business
license tax has been revised in several important areas:
1. The current rate structure, which is primarily based on
the number of employees, will be retained. The only
exception will be the recently enacted business license
tax rate charged for offsite, multiuser hazardous waste
facilities within the City which is based on a
facility's gross receipts. This specific tax structure
is in accordance with the tax structure permitted under
the state of California's Health and Safety Code.
2. The increase in the business license rates for general
business, manufacturers and professionals will be
phased-in over a 2-year period:
3. Commencing in 1993, the-business license rates will
be adjusted annually to help keep pace with inflation:
and
4. To assist new, smaller businesses, businesses with 5 or
fewer employees will be charged a lower, flat rate
during their first year.
The proposed 1991 and 1992 rates for the principal business
classifications are shown below:

$ 50.00
Rates for other "special" businesses currently not covered
under one of the above categories are also being adjusted.
The current and proposed rates for all businesses are shown
in Table 1 on the following pages.
The major changes to the City's business license tax rates
have been detailed above or in Table 1. other, minor
"clean-up" language is detailed in the proposed ordinance.
It is important to note that the proposed changes in the
business license tax will NOT affect the assessments paid by
businesses within the Downtown Improvement District (DID).
DID assessments will remain at their current level.
The revised recommendations concerning changes to the
business license tax have been endorsed by the Chamber of
Commerce Executive Board. All businesses currently having a
business license have been noticed of the proposed ordinance
change.
To "index" the tax rates to help keep pace with inflation,
staff is recommending that commencing in January, 1993, the
rates be annually adjusted by 5%. While the Chamber of
Commerce Executive Board has endorsed the general concept of
indexing, they have not taken a position on this specific
proposal.
Additionally, to facilitate the phase-in of the new rates on
larger businesses within the City, staff is proposing that
the maximum, annual tax paid for any single business license
not exceed $7,000 in 1991: $12,000 in 1992: $16,000 in 1993
and $?O,OOO in 1994. Commencing in 1995, the maximum annual
tax,would also be increased by ,5% each year.
(
The amended sections of
compiled version of the
City Clerk's Office for
the ordinance are attached. A'
entire ordinance is available at the
review.

FISCAL IMPACT: Based on the proposed phase-in schedule,
$290,000 in additional business license revenues are
projected for calendar year 1991. For calendar year 1992,
additional business license revenues are projected at
$721,000.
To put these increases in perspective, it is important to
note that:
since 1954, the cpr for the San Diego Region has
increased by 386%, compared to only a 46% increase in
the average tax collected; and
since 1978-89 the City's expenditures for police
services have risen by 314%, with only a corresponding
86% increase in business license revenues.

REPORT ON CHULA VISTA'S
BUSINESS LICENSE TAX
June 11, 1990
Management Services Department
Policy Analysis & Program Evaluation Unit
Prepared by:
Marty Chase
Cheryl Fruchter
I
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET REPORT # 10
June -5, 1990
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: John D. Goss, City Managet9' ~
FROM: Deputy City Manager Thomson JI
Director of Finance rI!p
RE: Report on the City's Business License Tax
The attached report provides a detailed review of the City's
business license taxes and revenues. The report recommends
changing the basis by which business license rates are
calculated and increasing the City's business license taxes
to levels comparable to those charged by other cities within
San Diego County. Additionally, as previously suggested by
the Downtown Business Association, the report recommends
adoption of a new fee schedule to increase assessments
within the Downtown Improvement District.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council direct staff
to seek comments on the report recommenda-
tions from the Chamber of Commerce and other
interested groups and report back to Council
no later than August 28, 1990.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
The report on the City'S business license tax was prepared
by Management Services' Policy Analysis and Program
Evaluation Unit (PAPE). The PAPE study shows that the
City's business license rates are significantly lower than
rates charged by similar sized cities in California
(100,000-150,000 population) and by other cities in San
Diego County (over 50,000 population). The report documents
the substantial degree to which the City's business license
rates have lagged behind increases in the Consumer Price
Index and the declining support provided by business
license, revenues for general City services, particularly
public safety services. Among the report's major
recommendations are (1) the adoption of a rate structure
based on gross business receipts, which staff believe is a
more equitable basis for setting rates and (2) increasing
the City's business license rates to levels comparable to
other cities in San Diego County.
J
2
Any change in the City's business license rate structure
would become effective January 1, 1991, the City's annual
renewal data for business licenses. The City Attorney has
concluded that the business license tax may be increased by
ordinance enacted by the City Council, in so far as the
proceeds go into the General Fund and are made available for
any City use.
To achieve the January 1, 1991 implementation date, a
minimum 3 month lead time is required to permit staff to
develop new ordinances and/or amend existing ordinances,
revise business license forms and modify the City's
a.utomated financial systems and reports. If the January 1,
1991 date is not met, major changes to the business license
tax structure would likely need to be postponed a full 12
months, until January 1, 1992. A mid-year tax change would
impose extremely high costs on the City's Data Processing
Division, Finance Department and City Attorney's Office,
requiring repetitive efforts to modify ordinances, revise
forms and systems and process payments. It is therefore
strongly suggested that the Council make a decision on
changes to the business license tax system no later than
September 25, 1990.
Upon Council's direction, it is staff's intent to solicit
input on the report's recommendations from the Chamber of
Commerce and other interested parties. Copies of the staff
report are available from the City's Management Services
Department (691-5296) and City staff will be available to
meet with interested groups. In order to meet the
aforementioned time lines, it is suggested that staff report
back to Council by August 28, 1990.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As detailed in the report, staff can only provide general
estimates of the fiscal impact of implementing the proposed
tax rate schedules. It is projected that the recommended
changes will increase business license revenues by
approximately $700,000, from $372,000 to 1,072,000,
representing a 188% increase. To put this increase in
perspective, it is important to note that:
Since 1954-55 when the present business license
tax structure was adopted, the basic license rate
has increased by only 46%, compared to a CPI
increase of 386%.
Since 1978-79 the City's expenditures for police
services have risen by 314%, with only a
corresponding 86% increase in business license
revenues.

As previously noted, the report also recommends adoption of
a new fee schedule to increase assessments in the Downtown
Improvement District. An increase in assessments, to
support downtown promotions and events, was requested by the
Downtown Business Association. The recommended fee schedule
would increase annual revenues to the Downtown Business
Association by approximately $23,600.
s
BUSXNESS LXCENSE TAX
In his FY 1989-90 budget message, the City Manager highlighted
potential fiscal problems facing Chula vista. In large part, these
problems result from the City's low tax base relative to other
comparable communities. As noted in the City Manager's budget
message, the Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation (PAPE) unit was
directed to review current pOlicies and procedures to enhance City
revenues.
PAPE's initial efforts focused on ensuring that applicable full cost
recovery fees are being utilized and that appropriate reimbursements
are being made to the General Fund. PAPE's current efforts are
directed toward reviewing selective City taxes and fees. The
following report on the business license tax, prepared in conjunction
with the Finance Director, is the first of these reports.
This report shows that the City's business license tax has lagged
significantly behind inflation and details the declining support
provided by business license revenues for general City services.
Comparisons of business license tax rates presented in the report show
that the City's current fees are dramatically lower than those charged
in similar-sized California cities and cities in San Diego County.
In light of these trends, the report recommends (1) changing the basis
by which the City's business license tax is calculated and (2)
increasing current business license rates to levels comparable to
those charged by other cities within the County.
A. CHULA VISTA GENERATES THE SECOND LOWEST BUSINESS
LICENSE REVENUE (PER-CAPITAl AMONG 18 CALIFORNIA CITIES OF
SIMILAR SIZE.
In assessing the city's business license tax, PAPE looked at several
comparison measures.
One general measure is the percentage of general fund revenues
generated by a city's business license tax. According to a statewide
survey conducted by Ralph Anderson and Associates, business license
revenues represented 5.8% of California cities' general revenues
;- 1 -
7
(FY 88). Table 1 on the following page provides comparison data for
the 78 charter cities in California. Important points to note are:
For FY 88, Chula Vista's
business license revenue
represented only 1.29% of
general revenues, compared to
the statewide average of 5.8%.
This was the loth lowest rate
among the 78 charter cities.
By FY 89, Chula Vista's
business license revenues
declined further, representing
only 0.9% of the City's
general revenues. According
to the Ralph Anderson survey,
only 11% of all California
cities received less than 1%
of their general revenues from
the business license tax.

A second general measure involves a comparison of business license
revenues generated in similar sized california cities. Table 2 on
page 4 presents per-capita business license revenues for the 18
California cities with populations of 100,000 - 150,000 in FY 87.
Important points to note about the table are:
Chula vista's relatively low
level of sales tax revenue is
a factor in producing the
City's low level of business
license revenues. It is not,
however, the primary factor.
In the comparison cities, a
dollar in sales tax generated
an average of 14 cents in
business licence revenues in FY 87.
sales tax dollar ge.nerated only 4.2
On a per-capita basis, Chula
Vista generated the second
lowest business license
revenue among the 18
comparison cities. Within the
group, FY 87 per-capita busi-
ness license revenues averaged
$13.19, with a high of $39.09.
Chula Vista's per-capita
revenue was only $2.93.

In Table-3 on the following page, the current business license tax for
an average Chula vista business in each of 5 typical categories is
compared to the rates which would be charged in each of the
comparison cities. Important points to note are:
Rate comparisons are-made-for five retail business categories,
based on a range of-gross -- receipts.- Chula Vista data reflects
actual taxes collected; rates for comparison cities are based on
each city's business license tax schedule.
14 of the 18 comparison cities base their general business
license tax rate on a business' gross receipts. The remaining 4
cities, including Chula Vista, base their business license tax on
the number of employees. As discussed in a subsequent section,
staff believe that a-tax based on gross receipts is more
equitable.
For a business with gross receipts of $100,000-$200,000 (actual
average receipts in Chula Vista of $142,705), the cost of a
business license ranged from $20 to $311 among the comparison
cities. Chula Vista's average rate of $42 is roughly 33% of the
average rate of $127 charged for businesses in this class.
For a business with gross
receipts of $1,000,000-
$2,000,000, (actual average
receipts of $1,400,306) the
cost of a business license
ranged from $50 to $1,731
among the comparison cities.
Chula vista'S average rate of
$98 is only 14% of the average
rate of $713 charged for
businesses in this class.
At the upper end, the cost of
a license for a retail busi-
ness with gross receipts of
over 20 million (a $22,625,108
average) ranged from $260 to
$27,201. The average rate is
$8,570; the median rate is
$4,635. Chula vista's average
charge for the 4 current
retail businesses with
receipts of 20-25 million is
$408.

Important P'1ints t'1 note about the table are:
5 of the 10 cities base their business license tax on gross

number of emp1'1yeesand 1 city (Santee) uses a flat fee for all
businesses, regardless '1f size.
--Chula vista received the second lowest business license revenue

$1.10 inn-Santee t'1 $10.47 .in Carlsbad, averaging $5.75. Chula
vista's rate was $2.93, representing 51% '1f the average.
For the C'1unty comparison cities, a dollar of sales tax generated
an average of 6.1 cents in business license revenues. In Chula
Vista, this same sales tax dollar generated '1nly 3.8 cents in
business license revenues (declining fr'1m 4.2 cents in FY 87).
Once again, the major fact'1r in pr'1ducing the City's l'1W rate '1f
business license revenues is the City'S relatively l'1W business
license tax itself.

In Table 5 on the following page, the current business license tax for
an average Chula Vista business in each of 5 typical categories is
compared to the rates which would be charged in the comparison cities
within the County. Important points to note are:
Chula Vista data reflects actual taxes collected, rates for
comparison cities are based on each city's business license tax
schedule.
For a business with gross receipts of $142,705, charges ranged
from $25 in Santee to $111 in Vista. Chula Vista's charge of $42
represented 63% of the average rate of $67.
For a business with annual
gross receipts of $1,400,306,
charges ranged from $25 in
Santee to $681 in vista. Chula
vista's charge of $98 was only
36% of the $270 average rate.
At the high end, businesses
averaging $22,625,108 in gross
receipts were charged $408 in
Chula vista. Among the
comparison cities rates ranged
from $25 (Santee) to $7,944
(Carlsbad) . Chu1a Vista's
charge represented only 16% of
the average of $2,538.

In summary, Chula vista currently has one of the lowest business
license tax rates, both within San Diego County and within the state
for comparably sized cities.
C. CHULA VISTA HAS NOT RAISED ITS BUSINESS LICENSE TAX RATE SINCE
1978.
Chula Vista's business license tax was established in January, 1912,
when the City imposed a $15 per annum charge on pool tables. New
business license taxes were added over the next 30 years for specific
items (such as billboards) or specialized occupations (such as
peddlers). In 1941, the City extended the business license tax to
"professionals", charging them $5 per year.

In 1954, the forerunner of the city's current business license tax was
enacted, establishing a charge of $12.50 per year and $3 per employee
for most fixed location businesses within Chu1a vista. The rate for
manufacturers was established at $12.50 plus $1 per employee. A
maximum annual fee of $162.50 was set for both groups of businesses.
At the same time, the rate for professionals was increased to $25 per
year.
Twenty-four years later, in 1978, the current business license fee was
adopted. The basic rate for fixed location businesses within the City
was increased from $12.50 per year to $25. The per employee charge
was kept at $3. For manufacturers, the basic rate was similarly
increased from $12.50 to $25 per year. The per employee charge for
manufacturers was changed from a flat $1 to a declining fee based on
the total number of employees (i.e. $ 2 per employee for the first 50
employees: $1 for 51 to 100 employees, etc). In 1978, the maximum
cap of $162.50 for fixed location businesses and manufacturers was
removed. The city's basic business license rates have not been
increased since 1978.
Changes in the cost of a City business license have not kept pace with
the declining purchasing power of a dollar, as measured by the
Consumer Price Index. Moreover, business license revenues have lagged
well behind increases in the cost of city services such as police, and
have consistently decreased over time as a percentage of the City's
general fund expenditures. Important points to note are:
since November, 1954 when the
first fee was established for
fixed location businesses, the
Consumer Price Index increased
by 386% percent. Comparative-
ly, between 1954 and 1989 the
cost of a license increased by
46% for the average Chula
Vista business. From 1978
through 1989, the CPI has
increased by 121%: since 1978
the cost of a business license
has increased by 0%.

Based on the relatively low level of business license revenue
generated in Chula vista as compared to other cities in San Diego
County and similar-sized California cities, and based on the absence
of any increase in the basic business license charge since 1978, staff
recommend that the City's business license tax be raised. Specific
recommendations concerning the most equitable method for calculating
the tax rate and the specific rates proposed for various classes of
business are detailed in the following sections of the report.
D. TO ENHANCE EOUITY. IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT-THE BUSINESS LICENSE TAX
BE PRINCIPALLY BASED ON GROSS RECEIPTS.
There are three predominant methods for computing business license
charges: (1) a flat rate charged to all businesses or types of
businesses, regardless of size; (2) a variable rate based on non-
dollar units, such as the number of employees or business square
footage; and (3) a variable rate based on dollar units such as gross
receipts. A city's business license tax schedule will likely use at
least two types of rate structures and often all three methods are
employed. Chula Vista predominantly uses a variable rate based on the
number of employees to assess business license charges. Other
examples of non-dollar variable rates employed by the City are the
charges for bowling alleys ($25 per year plus $16 per lane) or the
charges for poolrooms ($20 per year plus $12 per table). Flat rates
are also employed by the city for selected groups, such as $50 per
year for "professionals" or $100 per year for second-hand dealers.
As illustrated below, A TAX BASED ON GROSS RECEIPTS IS MORE EQUITABLE
THAN A TAX BASED ON NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES:
In 1988 there were 50 retail businesses in Chula vista with only
one employee. The gross receipts of these businesses ranged from
$100,000 to $858,000. Under the per-employee tax structure
currently used by the City, each of these businesses were charged
an identical license fee of $28.
In 1988, 19 of the retail businesses in Chula Vista with 12
employees had average receipts of roughly $683,000. Each
business paid a license fee of $61. Another business, also
employing 12 persons, had gross receipts totalling $8,678,553,
over 12 times the receipts averaged by the first group of 19
businesses. However, under the per employee tax structure
currently used by the City, this business was charged an
identical license fee of $61.

-'
A business license tax based on a per-employee charge is replete with
the types of inequities illustrated above. Under Chula vista's
current tax structure, businesses having substantially different
incomes are charged like amounts for licenses.
A TAX BASED ON GROSS RECEIPTS IS ALSO A MORE EQUITABLE WAY TO ADJUST
FOR INFLATIONARY IMPACTS. Since 1978, the Consumer Price Index has
increased by 121%. Over that period, the City's business license tax
rate increased by 0%. A license fee based on gross receipts will
automatically adjust business license revenues to keep pace with
inflation. While it is true that a rate structure based on a per-
employee charge could also be constructed to account for inflationary
changes, it would be less equitable in practice.
Under a tax schedule based on gross receipts, the
tax rate itself remains constant from year to year
unless explicitly changed by Council action. If,
for example, business receipts increase due to
inflation, city revenue also increases without any
corresponding change in the tax rate itself.
Using a gross receipts-based tax, any change in
the license charge is directly related to an
individual business' well-being.. Conversely, if a
per-employee charge is "indexed" to account for
inflation, the tax rate itself is continually
.1.., -
/1'
changing. As such, all businesses are taxed at
the higher rate, regardless of how their
particular business fared in the preceding year.
As previously noted in the comparisons with other jurisdictions, a
business license tax based on gross receipts is the most common basis
used for establishing charges. Of the 17 other California comparison
cities of 100,000-150,000 population, 14 base their business license
charges on gross receipts. Of the 9 other cities within San Diego
County having populations over 50,000, 5 base their business license
charges on gross receipts.
Based on the enhanced equity afforded by basing business license
charges on gross receipts, it is recommended that:

RECOMMENDATION 1;. . The City adopt a business 1icense tax which. is
. principally based on gross receipts.
New City businesses would be charged at the minimum base rate of $25
during their first year's operation.
Recommendations on specific tax rates for different types of
businesses are detailed in the following sections of the report.
E. THE PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR GENERAL BUSINESS WOULD
PLACE CHULA VISTA AT THE MID-RANGE OF COMPARISON CITIES
IN SAN bIEGO COUNTY AND STILL AT THE LOW END OF COMPARISON
CITIES STATEWIDE.
The proposed tax rate for most general businesses with fixed locations
within the City is shown in Table 6 below:
Tab1e 6. proposed Tax Rate For Most Retai1/service Businesses

TAX RATE
$ 25.00 (base charge)

$141.25 plus .50 per each $1,000 over $200,000
$191.25 plus .25 per each $1,000 over $300,000
$241.25 plus .15 per each $1,000 over $500,000
Up to $25,000
$ 25,001 - $100,000

$ 200,001 - $300,000
$ 300,001 - $500,000
Over $500,000
The proposed tax rate was designed to place Chula Vista within the
mid-range of the rates charged for business licenses in San Diego
. - 14 -.
~
County cities over 50,000 population. Table 7 on the following page
provides a comparison of current and proposed license fees for
selected businesses. Important points to'note are: '
-..... For. businesses with, gross receipts up, to',$25, 000. there. would ~be
no change in rates paid. For businesses with receipts up to . ,
$50,000, the maximum. annual rateincreasewould.be.$18.75i'from"
$25. (with no employees) to:$43.75;.
....-Forbusinesseswith gross receipts of $1,000,000- $2,000,000 the
-average. license charge would be $336. The average rate presently
charged by the comparison cities within the County is $270;
excluding Santee, .which charges a flat'rate of.$25.to all
businesses regardless of size, the current average is $301. The
,uP.rQP.c>sed_rCiJ;_~_wQ.~ld 1:lE!. slightly above Escondido's present rate
". ($305). and below the riEes charged'by oceinside- C$349f; carlsoaa-
"($515) "and Vista ($681). . "
At' the top -end ~ the- 'average -feepaiii-bybus"inesses -with gross'----
.receiptsof $20,000,000-$25,000,000 would. increase from $408'to
$3,520. Amongthe County cities of more than 50,000 population,
this would place Chula Vista's fees as fourth highest, slightly
higher than Escondido ($3,489) and below Oceanside ($3,5~3),
vista ($4,996) and Carlsbad. ($7,944).
It is imoortant to emohasize that even with the orooosed increase in
business license fees. the City's oer-caoita business license revenues
will still remain relativelv low in comoarison to other cities. This
will remain true until Chula vista is able to attract more businesses
which generate large annual sales (e.g. automobile sales).
Table 8 on page 17 provides a comparison of Chula Vista's current and
proposed license rates with the 17 other California cities of similar
size. As shown in the table, the proposed rate increase would only
move Chu1a Vista from second lowest to fourth lowest in the actual
rate charged for business licenses. Chula Vista'S rates would remain
well below the average for the statewide comparison cities.
Based upon for foregoing analysis, it is recommended that:

F. THE TAX RATES RECOMMENDED FOR GENERAL BUSINESS SHOULD BE
APPLIED TO PROFESSIONALS.
currently, "professionals" are charged a flat fee of $50 per
year. Staff believe that business license fees for
"professionals" should be based on gross receipts and should
be set at the same rate charged for general businesses:
A flat fee produces inequities by imposing identical
fees irrespective of the earning capacity of different
"professional" occupations. Under. the City's current
rate structure, attorneys and physicians are charged
identical rates as physical therapists and accountants;
A flat fee produces significant inequities between
"professional" and "semi-professional" occupations. In
general, under the City's current rate structure
persons in lower earning occupations pay a higher
percentage of their income in license taxes than
persons in high earning occupations;
The profit margins for most professionals are higher
than most retail and service businesses; and
"Professionals" generally benefit from city services 'on
a level similar to other City businesses.
Tables 9 and 10 compare Chula vista's current and proposed
rates for 2 hypothetical "professional" businsses. Also
shown are the comparable rates charged by other County
cities over 50,000 population and by other California cities
of 100,000-150,000 population. Important points to note
about the tables are:
4 of the 9 comparison cities within the County
base their business license tax for professionals
on gross receipts; Of the 17 California cities
with 100,000-150,000 population, 8 cities use
gross receipts as the basis for setting the
business license tax for professionals. In all 8
cities, the gross receipts tax rate used for
professionals is higher than the gross receipt
tax rate used for general retail business (in some
cases more than double). The use of different tax
rates generally reflects the higher profit margins
of most professional businesses. For Chula Vista,
it's proposed that professionals be charged at the
same (lower) gross receipt tax rate used for
general retail business.
For a professional business with $125,000 in gross
receipts (consisting of 1 professional staff and 1
support staff) 4 Chula Vista's rate would increase

from $50 to $96. This would place Chula vista
slightly higher than National City ($93) and
slightly lower than vista ($99) and Escondido
($100). For a similar professional business, the
tax rate among the 18 California cities of
100,000-150,000 population ranges from $10 to
$501. Chula vista's rate of $96 would be the
sixth lowest. "
For a professional business with $400, 000 in gross
receipts (consisting of 2 professional staff and 3
support staff), Chula vista's rate would increase from
$100 to $176. This would place Chula vista slightly
higher than Escondido ($155) and lower than National
City ($194) and vista ($261).' For a similar
professional business, the tax rate among the 18
California cities of 100,000-150,000 population ranges
from $10 to $1,491. Chula Vista's rate of $176 would be
the sixth lowest.

G. LOWER TAX RATES. BASED ON GROSS RECEI:PTS. ARE
RECOMMENDED FOR MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS.
Under the City's current rate structure, the basic fee
charged to both general business and manufacturers is $25.
However, while the per-employee charge to general business
is a flat $3, the per-employee charge for manufacturers is
based on a sliding scale. The current fee schedule for
manufacturers is shown in Table 11 below.
Table 11. Current Per-Employee Fee Schedule for
Manufacturers
# EMPLOYEES TAX RATE
1 - 50 $ 25.00 plus $2.00 per employee
51- 100 $125.00 plus $1. 00 per employee
101-1000 $225.00 plus $ .50 per employee
over 1,000 $675.00 plus $ .25 per employee
Historically, manufacturers and wholesalers are often
charged lower business license taxes than general retail and
service businesses. Staff believe that the primary reasons
.,. 20 -
u
for this difference are:
Profit margins for.manufacturersandwholesalers tend
to be:. .lower. than profit margins. for general' retail or
service. businesses ;.and .c.
Manufacturers, representing more labor intensive
businesses, provide more job opportunities and
secondary. economic activity.within a .community.
.". ...
within San Diego County, ,cities using a gross receipts tax
structure for manufacturers generally establish a tax range
from $.50 per. $1,000 gross receipts.down'to $~10 per $1,000.

Tables 13 and 14 on the following page compare Chula Vista's
current and proposed rates for two hypothetical
manufacturing businesses. Also shown are the comparable
rates charged by other County cities over 50,000 population
and by other California cities of 100,000-150,000
population. Important points to note about the tables are:
6 of the 9 comparison cities within San Diego
County charge manufacturers at a lower tax rate
than general retail business. Similarly, among
the 17 comparison cities of ~ 100,000-150,000
population, 12 use a lower tax rate to set license
rates for manufacturers. Under the proposed tax
rate for Chula Vista, manufacturers would be
charged at a lower rate than that applied to
general retail business and professionals.
For a manufacturer with 70 employees and gross
receipts of 5,400,000, Chula vista's rate would
increase from $145 to $595. within the County,
this would place Chula vista slightly higher than
National City ($545), equivalent with Escondido
($595) and lower than vista ($603) and Carlsbad
($1,105). For a similar manufacturing business,
the tax rate among the California cities of
100,000-150,000 population ranges from $75 to
$6,531. Chula Vista's rate of $595 would
represent 51% of the average rate ($1,166).
For a manufacturer with 700 employees and gross
receipts of 54,000,000, Chula vista's rate would
increase from $475 to $5,455. within the County,
this would place Chula vista equivalent to
Escondido ($5,455), slightly lower than vista
($5,463) and significantly lower than Carlsbad
($10,825).

It should be noted that under the current tax structure only
7 firms define themselves as manufacturers, ranging in size
from 14 to 7,000 employees. It's expected that under the
proposed gross receipts tax structure more manufacturers and
wholesalers will correctly define themselves as such to
benefit from the lower rate structure.

H. SPECIAL TAX RATES
Some businesses, such as those without a fixed location
within Chula Vista, are not appropriately charged by gross
receipts. The proposed rates for these businessesj
activities are shown in Table 15, on pages 25-27. In
general, these rates were set in comparison to rates charged
in other cities within the County. Important points to note
about Table 15 are:
Although special rates are set for a wide array of
business typesjactivites, relatively few businesses
fall within this category.
For some special businesses, such as pawn shops, a
separate regulatory fee is shown. This fee represents
the cost of special regulatory activities performed by
the city's Police Department (e.g. for pawn shops, the
processing of weekly reports). As shown in Table 15,
these regulatory fees are currently not broken out and
simply represent an unspecified portion of the overall
license tax. separating the regulatory fee from the
business license tax will enable staff to (1) adjust
fees as City regulatory costs change and (2) eliminate
regulatory fees which are no longer appropriate. As
noted in Table 15, the specific regulatory fees are
currently being developed by the Police Department.
Some businesses, such as motels and hotels, are charged
a separate fee for special regulatory activities
performed by the City's Building and Housing
Department. It is proposed to increase these fees by
the change in the San Diego region CPI since the last
fee adjustment (20%). Furthermore, it's proposed
that these fees be annually indexed to the CPl.
Given that the current rates for card rooms have been
recently reviewed by Council, no change is proposed.

X. FXSCAL XMPACT
Given the absence of gross receipt data for many business
types, staff can only provide general estimates of the
fiscal impact of implementing the tax rate schedules
proposed in this report. Based on 1988 retail sales data
and projections for non-retail businesses, staff estimate
that the proposed changes will increase annual city business
license revenues by $700,000-$800,000, from $372,000 to
$1,072,000-$1,172,000, representing an increase of 188-215%.
As points of reference:
The Consumer Price Index has increased by 386% since
1954 with only a 46% increase in business license
rates~ since 1978, the CPI has increased by 121%
without any increase in the license rates charged most
city businesses~
The city's expenditures for pOlice services have risen
by 314% since 1978 , with only a corresponding 86%
increase in business license revenues~
Presently, business license revenues represent
less than 1% of the City's general revenues.
Under the proposed tax rate, business license
revenue support for general operations would
increase to 2.76%. comparatively, in 1954-55 when
the current business license tax structure was
first adopted, business license revenues
represented 6.25% of the city's general revenues.
Lastly, as previously noted, even with the proposed increase
in business license rates, Chula vista's per-capita business
license revenues are like to remain relatively low over the
near future because of the City's relatively low per-capita
sales tax revenue.
J. THE NEW TAX RATE WOULD BE XMPLEMBNTED JANUARY 1, 1991.
The new rate structure would become effective January 1,
1991, the City's annual renewal date for business licenses.
To achieve that implementation date, a minimum 3 month lead
time is required to permit staff to develop new ordinances
and/or amend existing ordinances, revise business license
forms and modify automated financial systems and reports.
Xf the January 1, 1991 date is not met, major changes to
the ~usiness license tax structure would likely need to be
postponed a full 12 months, until January 1, 1992. A mid-
year tax change would impose extremely high costs on the
City'S Data Processing Division, Finance Department and City
- 28 - .
3r
"-_.Irr-_rll
...."P"'r'lo~r'loC!!_"
.
Attorney's Office, requiring replicative efforts to modify
ordinances, revise forms and systems and process payments.
It is therefore strongly suggested that the Council make a
decision on changes to the business license tax rates no.
later than September 25,.1990.. .
K. DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
In March, 1990 staff presented Council with a request by the
Downtown Business Association to increase the Downtown
Improvement District assessments;. These special assessments
are collected in conjunction with the business license tax
and are used t9 support downtown promotions and events. The
proposed increase. would reduceor:eliminate the need for the
Redevelopment Agency to subsidize downtown promotions and
events sponsored by the Downtown Business Association.
Presently, the DoWntown Improvement District assessment is
set at twice the business license rate, with a maximum
assessment of $100. As detailed in the March, 1990 staff
report (Attachment Al, current assessments range from $50~
$100 and raise approximately $23,000 for the Downtown
Business Association. The proposal presented to Council in
March was to increase current assessments by 100%,
essentially setting them at 4 times the current business
license rate.
If business license rates are increased, as proposed in this
report, a new methodology for establishing Downtown
Improvement District assessments needs to be developed to
insure that the assessments are not excessive. Based on
the revenue goals detailed in staff's March 15, 1990 report,
the fee schedule shown in Table 16 below is proposed:
Table 16.
Proposed Fee Schedule For Downtown
Improvement District Assessments.
j/ of Current Proposed
Tvoe of Business Emplovees ~ ~
Non-professional 0 $50 $100
Non-professional 1-5 $56-$ 80 $120
Non-professional 6-9 $86-$104 $170
Non-professional 10 or more $100 $200
Professional $100 $200
29 -
J5
.
Based on an analysis of current business types within the
Downtown Improvement District, the proposed fee schedule
would generate an additional $23,620 in revenue for the
Downtown Business Association.
To insure that assessment revenues keep pace with inflation
staff recommends that the fee be indexed to changes in the
San Diego County Regional Consumer Price Index experienced
during the preceeding fiscal year.

Dear Mr. Goss:
The Draft Shoreline Preservation Strategy was approved for distribution and review by the
SANDAG Board of Directors on September 27, 1991. The Strategy has been sent to you
under separate cover. A copy of the Executive Summary was mailed to all of the region's
elected officials at the same time. The Draft Strategy was prepared under the guidance
of the SANDAG Shoreline Erosion Committee. The Strategy contains comprehensive
recommendations for a beach building program to address shoreline erosion at many of
the region's beaches, implementation actions, and a financing program empl111~hing local
sources.
The review period for the Strategy extends through December 6, 1991. The SANDAG
Board will be asked to adopt a Final Strategy after the review period is completed and the
Strategy is revised based on the comments received. In addition, all local governments
in the region will be asked to make the implementation and financing commitments
recommended in the Strategy. Therefore, the City's review of the Draft Strategy is
encouraged.
Steve Sachs of our staff is available to make presentations to the City Council and city
staff and advisory groups, including a 10 minute slide show. Please contact me or Steve
at 595-5346 regarding scheduling presentations and any questions about the Draft Strategy.

Dear Mayor Nader and Council:
, As you know, Kaiser Permanente is in escrow on a 34 acre parcel of land in the
EastLake Village Center area, as the site for a second major medical center in San
,Diego County. This proposed new complex will be built in phases, the first of
which will be a 215,000 square foot outpatient medical office building, scheduled
to open in 1995. The second phase is the 200.bed hospital, expected to open in
the late 1997, early 1998 timeframe. .
Preliminary architectural design concepts for the medical center complex suggest
it will be a fine addition to your community. The design will be unlike any other
Kaiser Permanente facility in San Diego County. In fact, because it will be such a
departure from our existing facilities, we would like to offer you and your
designees a tour of a couple out-of-town Kaiser Permanente medical centers. We
believe a visit to these other facilities would instill confidence in the capabilities
of our architectural design team and expose you to the character of the new
generation of KP medical facilities which you cannot glean from those here in
San Diego County.
We propose a visit to the two-year-old Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in .
Riverside and perhaps one under construction in Baldwin Park. These facilities
are not the design of the proposed Chula Vista medical center, however, they are
representative of the quality and character of medical facilities we are now
designing and building.
We would like to mange far such a tour to -take place between now and
November 18 for about five to ten people from the City of Chula Vista who
would benefit from such a tour. If you agree that it would be valuable to . .

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RE<DMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSIOO:
Pursuant to Council direction, the planning Department, Building and Housing
Department, and City Attorney's Office have initiated enforcement efforts to
deal with the problem of illegal signs. As a result, we have discovered a
need to clarify our ordinances. We propose two amendments to the Code as
follows.
Currently, Section 19.60.020 makes it illegal to erect an illegal sign. While
this is fine, it does not go far enough. A potential enforcement problem
exists because we generally don't see the sign until well after it has been in
place for some time. We rarely see a sign in the process of being erected.
Therefore, we would like to change the language so as to have enforcement
power against those not only who we see erecting a sign, but also those who
are plainly guilty of maintaining or permitting an illegal sign. To that end,
we propose the addition of the words, "maintain or permit" into the ordinance
as set forth on the following page.
Section 19.08.030 requires us to prosecute sign violations as misdemeanors.
We would like to have the flexibility of enforcing them as infractions
instead. To that end, we suggest an amendment to Section 19.08.030 to give us
the option of prosecuting these offenses as either infractions or
misdemeanors. Only in a truly egregious case would we want to prosecute such
a violation as a misdemeanor.

In reviewing our ordinances that regulate garbage and litter in
Chapter 8.24 of the Municipal Code, we came across a situation that
demands attention. We have had some problems with people using
City trash receptacles on a routine basis to unload their privately
generated garbage. While we do have ordinances that prohibit the
disposal of garbage on private property without the owner's consent
and we similarly have an ordinance which prohibits littering on the
right of way, we do not have an ordinance which specifically
addresses this precise situation. Therefore, we ask that Council
place the attached ordinance on first reading.

Authorizing Distribution of the Eastlake Reserve
Fund
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance ttf
ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY: city Manageri~{(, (4/5THS Vote: Yes_No-.lL-)
The Eastlake I sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan was approved by
the City council in 1985 and included provisions for a Reserve Fund
as part of the adopted Public Facilities Financing Plan. The
Agreement for the Reserve Fund contained certain conditions that,
when satisfied, triggered distribution of the Fund. The purpose of
today's action is to make a finding that certain conditions have
been met and therefore authorize distribution of the balance of the
Reserve Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the Resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Eastlake Reserve Fund was established and held by the City to
provide a funding source in the event that the development of the
Eastlake I area had a negative fiscal impact on the city. Based on
an annual fiscal impact analysis, if it was determined that the
General Fund Operating Revenues generated from Eastlake were not
sufficient to cover the costs of providing municipal services
required by the Development, then monies would be transferred to
the General Fund to cover the shortfall.
Funding for the Reserve Fund has been entirely from annual deposits
made by Eastlake Development Company pI us investment earnings.
Since 1986, Eastlake has contributed $475,000 and the total
currently in the Reserve Fund, including investment earnings, is
approximately $550,000.
The agreement for the Reserve Fund provided that it would "be
established for a period of ten years or until there is a positive
cash flow in four successive years, whichever comes first". On
meeting this condition, the balance of the Fund will be distributed
with "fifty percent to the City of Chula vista and fifty percent to
Eastlake Development Company".

Page 2, Item 1?
Meeting Date 11/05/91
The annual fiscal impact analysis for Eastlake I has been performed
by John McTighe & Associates with the following results:
Fiscal Year Amount
1986/87 ($7,474) Amount transferred
to General Fund
1987/88 $16,973
1988/89 $116,798
1989/90 $220,011
1990/91 $263,907
As indicated above, there have been four successive years of a
positive fiscal impact. In accordance with the agreement, Eastlake
has requested that the balance in the Reserve Fund now be
distributed with fifty percent to Eastlake and fifty percent to the
city.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Reserve Fund has a balance of approximately $550,000 and, under
the terms of the agreement, the city and Eastlake will each receive
$275,000. The $275,000 to the City was included as anticipated
General Fund revenue in the city Manager's Fiscal Year 1991-92
Budget as adopted by the City Council.

The Fi sea I Impact Ana lys is for Eastlake I, dated July 6, 1 9l:l4 , and prepared
by Public Affairs Consultants demonstrates a positive cash flow to the City
of Chula Vista resulting from the development of East Like I. Thlt 1s, the
operlting revenues flowing to the City IS I result of the ElstLake Develop-
-.nt are substantially higher than the costs to the City of providing munici-
pal services to the EastLake area.
The City is establishing a Reserve Fund for EastLake Develotment to be used
in the event that the City operating revenues generated from astLake are not
sufficient to cover the costs of providing MUnicipal services required by the
development,
Funding sources for the Reserve Fund are:
1. Revenues from Purchasing Agency concept. City is to contribute to the
Fund 80~ of sales tax revenue generated from the Purchasing Agency.
2. Interest savings realized by the Developer as a result of USing tax
exempt financing. Developer to contribute to the fund l:lO~ of f~1 annual
interest savings realized from using tax exempt financing. This
applies to all tax exempt financing with the exception of the High School
(Phase 1) and Elementary School listed on Table B of the Public Facili-
ties Financing Plan.
Interest earnings resulting from the investment of Reserve Fund monies
will be credited to the Reserve Fund.
Coinciding with the annual review, the City is to have a fiscal impact
analysis prepared using similar methodology as contained in the analysis
prepared by Public Affairs Consultants. Cost of the preparation of the
analysis is to be paid for from the Reserve Fund.
If the fiscal impact analysis indicates a pOSitive cash flow, the balance
will carry forward on a cumulative basis from year to year.

If the fiscal impact analysis indicates a negative cash flow, then the

CHAPTER I . INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
SCOPE OF REPORT
This Is the fifth consecutive year an analysis has been prepared to show the actual fiscal impact
on the City of Chula Vista's operating budget as a result of the development of EastLake I. This
report covers the operating expenditures and revenues of the City during fiscal year 1990.91.
It has been prepared by John McTighe & Associates (JMA). JMA prepared the original fiscal
impact analysis that was part of the Environmental Impact Report for the EastLake I sectional
planning area prepared in 1984. Since that time JMA has prepared the impact reports for the
first four fiscal years (1986.87. 1987-88. 1988-89 & 1989-90) of EastLake I's
development.
As part of the requirements contained in the Public Facilities Financing Plan and the
development agreement for EastLake I between the City and EastLake Development Company, an
annual fiscal analysis is to be prepared for the purpose of determining what the actual fiscal
impact on the City has been in the previous year. If the impact is found to be positive. no
additional actions are required and the positive balance is to be carried forward on a cumulative
basis from year to year. If the impact is found to be negative. however, a reimbursement of
funds to the City is required. The reimbursement was to take place from a special "Reserve
Fund for EastLake Development" established for this purpose. The section of the EastLake I
Public Facilities Financing Plan which explains the reserve fund is included in this report as
Appendix A.
This fifth full year's (1990-91) analysis has considered all known operating costs and
revenues that might be attributable to the EastLake I area. City operating costs were projected
based on input received from various City departments and a computer model that u1ilized the
fiscal year 1990-91 actual expenditures of the City as the basis for quantifying the impact.
The model includes an allocation of indirect and overhead costs to direct service activities of the
City. In this manner the estimates of added costs attributed to EastLake I reflect the full costs to
the City of providing services to this area of the City.
City revenue estimates were based on the actual revenue sources of the City in fiscal year
1990.91. The previously developed computer model of the relationship of individual revenue
accounts to population, land use and other factors was updated by John McTighe & Associates to
reflect the changes in revenue Ihat were most likely related to the EastLake I development.
HISTORY OF ANALYSES
First Fiscal Year (1986-87)
The first residential occupancies occurred In EastLake I during fiscal year 1986-87. By the
end of that first year there were a total of 575 occupied dwelling units and approximately 5.5
acres of developed Industrial park within EastLake.
The analysis of that first year concluded an estimated $7,474 negative impact on operating costs
and revenues of the City of Chula Vista. Total costs attributable to EastLake I for fiscal year
1986-87 equaled $180,081. Police and animal control services were the largest expense.
totaling $84,203 - 46.7% of the total cost.
For fiscal year 1986-87 total revenues from EastLake I equaled $172,607. Property taxes
were EastLake's largest revenue source, totaling $45,509, or 26.4% of total revenues for
fiscal year 1986-87.

Second Fiscal Vear (1987-88)
By the end of the second fiscal year (1987-88) of EastLake I's development. the number of
occupied dwelling units had increased to 1.226, more than double the number at the end of the
first year. Industrial development also increased with a total of 11.1 acres of industrial
property having been developed.
The net operating fiscal impact on the City of Chula Vista during 1987-88 was a positive
$16,973. with revenues of $544,667 exceeding the costs of $527,694. Once again, police and
animal control services accounted for the single largest expenditure category of $301.029,
more than 57% of the total expenditures. The allocation of city-wide fire expenditures to
EastLake accounted for the second largest category at $101,343.
On the revenue side, property taxes accounted for the largest single source during 1987-88,
with $173,719 being received by the City from property within EastLake I. An estimated
$115,566 of sales tax revenue was attributed to EastLake based on the number of residents who
were living there during the year.
Third Fiscal Vear (1988-89)
The analysis for the third year,1988.89, for EastLake I concluded with a posifive impact on
the City of Chula Vista of $116,798, Operating costs attributed to EastLake I totaled $820,956
for fiscal year 1988-89, while revenues totaled $937,755. Again, property taxes in EastLake
I amounted to the largest revenue source, being $250.809, or approximately 26.7% of total
revenue. Sales tax revenue received by the City from EastLake residents increased to
$224,293 for fiscal year 1988.89.
Of the expenditures attributed to EastLake I, during 1988-89, the largest category was again,
police and animal control services which totaled $483,901, or 58.9% of total expenditures.
The next largest expenditure was from fire services attributed to EastLake, which totaled
$145,303, or 17.7% of total operating costs for the fiscal year 1988-89.
In terms of EastLake I's development, the number of occupied dwelling units by the end of fiscal
year 1988-89 increased to 1,674. The total number of acres of Industrial property was
42.52 by the end of 1988.89.
Fourth Fiscal Vear (1989-90)
For the fiscal year, 1989-90 total expenditures attributable to EastLake I for the City were
$975,568, while revenues were $1,195,579. This resulted in a positive impact for EastLake
I, amounting to $220,011. Expenditures in the category of police and animal control were the
largest, totaling $614,536 or 62.9% of the total costs attributable to EastLake I. The next
largest expenditure was fire services which amounted to $122,068 or 12.5% of total operating
costs. Revenues from EastLake I in the category of property taxes were $360,369 or 30.1 % of
total revenue. Sales tax revenues were $274,856 or 22.9% of total revenue.
There were no new acres of industrial development in the fourth year. The number of occupied
dwelling units increased by the end 1989-90 to 1,808.
Fifth Fiscal Vear (1,990-91)
For this fifth year (1990-91), there were 11.52 newly occupied acres of industrial
development. The number of occupied dwelling units increased to 1,812 by the end of 1990-
91.
EastLake I had a positive net impact on the City's operating budget of $263,907. Revenues
continue to grow at a faster rate than expenditures as the assessed value from new construction
2

I
~
continues to be reflected In each year's analysis. During 1990.91, revenue from property the
City share of the property taxes collected on property at EastLake I increased by $101,285.
Much of this was a result of the full year's assessed value of structures within the EastLake
Business Park being shown for the first time. This was followed in significance by sales tax
revenue, which amounted to $307,788 in 1990-91. Expenditures Increased In 1990-91 to a
total of $1,206,596. The largest expenditures continue to be for pollee and animal control,
which accounted for $708,219, or nearly 59% of the total In 1990-91.
Figure 1-1 shows a comparison of revenues and expenditures from EastLake I for fiscal years
1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89, and 1989-90 as estimated by the previous analyses, and

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO DATE
It has been assumed that people moved into their new Eastlake homes upon the close of escrow,
All production housing was sold and occupied by end of the previous fiscal year (1989-90), In
the case of the estate lots, four were known to be built on and occupied during the fiscal year, In
this case four units on estate lots were used for the purpose of projecting cost and revenue
impacts during the fiscal year, The closings were grouped by quarter to provide for ease of data
handling and understanding,

There were 11,52 acres of new indusfrlal development occupied during fiscal year 1990-91,
bringing the total non.residential development in EastLake I to 70,86 by the end of the fiscal
year. Of this total, 60.86 wfls in industrial development, while the remainder was for a school
site.

Since many of the cost and revenue elements are dependent on the population residing in
EastLake I, Figure 1-4 shows the population estimates for EastLake I based on the population per
household factors shown on the table and the residential closings from Table 1.1. The population
per household factors were provided by the Chula Vista Planning Department from information
originally supplied by the State Department of Finance's Population Projection Unit, These
factors represent the average coefficient of persons per household for the City of Chula Vista
used by the state in its annual estimate of population, The state currently uses 3.213 persons
per single family detached unit, 2.794 persons per single family attached unit, 2.452 persons
per unit in complexes with two to four units, 2.192 persons per unit in multi.famlly
complexes of five or more, and 1.652 persons per mobile home.

Resolution t!,:I,)t\q directing the formation
of an Underground Utility District along "F" street
from Third Avenue to Second Avenue; and approve a
change order to the Norman Park Center renovation
project for construction of a bus turnout/drop-off
zone
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Parks and Rec~~a}io~
Director of Public Works yrv
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~(L 119 (4/5ths Vote: YeS_No-L)
~.,l
In December, 1989, the City Council directed staff to proceed with
a re-design for the renovation of Norman Park Center. The approved
re-design plans also involved the construction of a bus
turnout/drop-off zone, and Underground Utility District, along "F"
street, in front of Norman Park Center. The construction of the
turnout/drop-off zone, and any necessary undergrounding
requirements has not been accomplished. However, staff is now
bringing forward to the Council the recommendation for the
Underground Utility District and turnout/drop-off zone, plus
alternatives for Council consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Approve a change order to authorize the contractor for the
Norman Park Center renovation proj ect to construct a bus
turnout/drop-off zone (completed by November 30, 1991), as
depicted in the attached schematic; and
2. Direct staff to form an Undergounding District on "F" street
between Third Avenue and Second Avenue.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Both the Parks and Recreation
Commission (January 21, 1988) and the Commission on Aging (April
21, 1988) had previously considered this issue when the design
plans for the Norman Park Center renovation project were brought
before them. Both commissions approved the project with the plans
calling for a bus turnout/drop-off zone and the necessary design
for the undergrounding of utilities.
[turnout]

)0 - I
Item 10
Meeting Date 11/05/91
DISCUSSION:
Backqround: The originally proposed turnout/drop-off zone would
accommodate bus tours, and the Off-loading of passengers, materials
and supplies. There were renderings presented to the Council,
during the decision process in November and December, 1989, which
depicted a turnout in front of the building.
There was discussion to move the present transit stop, which is
located in front of Congregational Towers, 100 feet east to the
front of Norman Park Center. The Parks and Recreation Department
Landscape Architect had advised that in order to accommodate a
full-scale bus turnout/drop-off zone, substantial undergrounding of
utilities would be required in front of the center. Further
investigation by the Public Works Department revealed an
undergrounding district would be necessary from Third Avenue to
Second Avenue, including both sides of "F" street, in order to
secure funding from SDG&E.
The time line for an Underground District was a minimum of two
years. Therefore, the ability to implement the turnout and the
undergrounding along with the construction of the new Norman Park
Center was not feasible, at that time.
Although Council directed staff to construct a turnout and form an
underground district, the plans and specifications for the Norman
Park Center project were not drawn to depict the turnout, because
the undergrounding project had a two year time line.
In the FY 90/91 Capital Improvement Project budget, $151,800 of San
Diego Gas & Electric Funds was identified to accomplish the
undergrounding district. This amount was not identified in the FY
91/92 CIP budget. In order to rectify this error, staff is
presenting the following for Council consideration.
Components of Recommendation:
"F" Street is approximately 227 feet in length in front of Norman
Park Center. The western portion of the curb will be utilized as
an entrance driveway to the Center, accessing a parking lot. "F"
street is a collector street and is 24 feet wide between the curb
and the center line; far wider than the normal collector street.
The normal parking lane is only 8 feet wide; the one in front of
the Center is 12 feet. There are two traffic lanes and two parking
lanes on F street. There were approximately 7 parking meters which
have recently been removed along the frontage of the Center. There
[turnout]
2
/0 -2
Item / D
Meeting Date 11/05/91
are 3 utility poles located between the curb and the sidewalk along
the frontage.
A bus turnout/drop-off zone would be constructed between two of the
existing utility poles (approximately 56' in length). The project
would be designed to construct a full 8 foot wide turnout, inset
from the 12 foot parking lane. Replace all curb and gutter along
the entire frontage of the Center; construct a pedestrian ramp, and
install two benches.
The City will form an Underground utilities District; however, it
would be two years to completion. Costs are estimated to be
$400,000 for undergrounding (these funds are supplied by SDG&E
through their 20A underground program). When the undergrounding
goes in, the only interruption would be the trenching in the
street; therefore, there would be little disruption to the sidewalk
and bus turnout.
The advantage is to gain a bus turnout/drop-off zone now, without
waiting for the completion of an Underground utilities District.
Estimated costs have been provided by the Norman Park Center
contractor of $13,242 for construction, and $3,000 would be
required for benches, for a total of $16,242. Funds are
appropriated and available in the Norman Park Center construction
project budget.
There is an existing transit stop in front of Congregational
Towers. Although the transit stop could be relocated 100 feet to
the east, adjustments would be required in the transit schedule to
accommodate transfers to and from the routes along Third Avenue and
"F" street to adjust for the additional walking/travel time.
A schematic depicting the recommendation is attached, and labeled
"Recommendation".
The Public Works staff advises full bus-turnouts have been used in
the past only when there is a traffic lane against the curb. This
is to allow a bus to stop and pickup passengers without blocking
the through lane of traffic. The City utilized a full turnout on
Broadway at "E" street and at "H" street.
However, bus turnouts have disadvantages. They take up parkway
area which could be used for pedestrians, benches or landscaping.
It is more difficult to handle drainage and they are costly to
construct.

Item J t)
Meeting Date 11/05/91
If Council wishes to re-consider previous direction, the following
alternatives are provided for Council consideration.
Alternative 11: Paint the curb for a drop-off zone along side the
current parking lane. Design the area between the curb and the
property line to be pedestrian friendly, with landscaping, paved
area and benches. Replace the old curbing with new 6" curb and
gutter. The utility poles in front of Norman Park Center would
remain until the Undergrounding District is formed. The
recommended improvements include new curbing and concrete work, and
a pedestrian ramp cut into the curb to accommodate such services as
Meals-on-Wheels. staff also recommends the installation of two
benches for seniors to wait for transportation. The 7 parking
meters have been removed. Funds expended should not exceed $12,500
and are available in the Norman Park Center construction account.
The advantages of this alternative include: the cost savings in
not constructing the bus turnout; undergrounding of utilities will
not be needed until the Underground District is completed at a
future date; a wider space between the building and the curb to
allow for better pedestrian circulation; and the ability to install
benches for people waiting for cars and touring busses.
The parking lane drop-off zone construction can be completed with
the present building construction. The future undergrounding will
be funded by SDG&E all the way to Second Avenue, further
beautifying the downtown area. A schematic depicting Alternative
#1 is attached.
In addition, Alternative #1 would allow the consideration of a
study to determine if, after the Center is opened and the
Underground District is completed, a real need exists for the
Center's users for a turnout.
There is concern that a full bus turnout will conflict with the
design aesthetics of the building. It will leave a narrower
sidewalk and the pedestrian area would appear out of scale and
cramped if a full bus turnout were to be constructed into the
parkway area.
Alternative 12: Construct a full bus turnout/drop-off zone with
the transfer of the transit stop from in front of Congregational
Towers. In this alternative, the Underground District would be
formed with a proj ect completion date of 1994. The cost for
Alternative #2 is estimated to be $400,000 for the undergrounding
and $40,000 for the construction of the turnout for a total of
[turnout]

$440,000. Funds for one-half of the street improvements ($20,000),
where the bus transit stop has exclusive use, could be obtained
from the Transit Development Account (TDA). The undergrounding
costs of $400,000 would be funded by SDG&E. $20,000 would be
needed from other funding sources.
On the issue of utilizing Transit Development Accounts funds, the
Public Works Transit Coordinator advises that moving a transit stop
100 feet from the west to east is not a high enough cost/benefit
opportunity to rationalize the use of these funds for street
improvements. The relocation of the transit stop would affect
scheduling with transfers from routes along Third Avenue. The
current stop in front of Congregational Towers is well located to
serve the transit riders in that facility. Only one bus route
travels "F" street and goes east to Hilltop, wherein the route
turns south and goes to Main.
A schematic depicting Alternative #2 is attached.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Recommendation: Funds are required now, in the amount of $16,242,
for street improvements which would construct a full turn-outjdrop-
off zone and two benches. Funds are available in unencumbered
appropriated funds in the Norman Park Center project budget. Funds
for the undergrounding are available from SDG&E (20A Funds).
Alternative #1: Funds are required now, in the approximate amount
of $12,500, for a curb-painted drop-off zone and two benches.
Unencumbered appropriated funds are available in the Norman Park
Center project budget. The Public Works Department will bring to
Council a report on the prioritization of city-wide undergrounding
projects.
Alternative #2: Funds are required to be appropriated in a future
Capital Improvement Project, in the amount of $440,000, for
extensive street improvements which would construct a full transit
stop turn-outjdrop-off zone, and the undergrounding of utilities.
Funds are available in the amount of $400,000 from SDG&E for the
undergrounding, and $20,000 could be available from the Transit
Development Account (TDA) for one-half of the street improvements.
$20,000 would need to be funded from other street improvement
resources.

new Park Acquisition and Development
for Progress Construction Co., Inc. at
Avenue
SUBMITTED BY:
Director of Parks
jt"-

and
Recreatio~
(4/5ths Vote:
Yes_NO..JL)
REVIEWED BY:
On April 23, 1991, Council approved an increase in Park Acquisition
and Development (PAD) fees. The PAD fees increased substantially,
reflecting the actual current costs of acquiring land and
installing park improvements. The ordinance implementing the PAD
fee schedule became effective on June 22, 1991.
PAD fees are paid by a developer before Final Map approval. The
PAD fee ordinance, Municipal Code section 17.10, does not have a
provision for waiver of fees, except as a reason to stimulate low
and moderate income housing.
In July 1990, Council adopted a waiver policy under Municipal Code
Master Fee Schedule section 3.45.010.
On August 22, 1991, Progress Construction Co., Inc., developer of
a 45-unit condominium complex at 1424 Third Ave., delivered a
letter to the Office of the City Manager, requesting a waiver of
the PAD fee increase for their development. Progress Construction
believes they were not properly notified of an impending fee
increase, and had they so been notified, would have paid the
required PAD fees in advance of the increase date in June.
RECOMMENDATION:
waiving the new
Construction co.,
That the city Council approve the resolution,
PAD fees at 1424 Third Avenue, for Progress
Inc.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION: In their letter of August 22 (attached as Exhibit A),
Progress Construction states they were not properly notified of an
impending increase as they moved through the approval process for
their Final Map in the development and construction of condominiums
at 1424 Third Avenue.
A proper legal notification process for public hearings was
followed for the PAD fee increase by the publishing of the notice
[padfeesl
1
I \-1
It_
Meeting Date
/I

of pUblic hearing in the newspaper. In addition, staff in the
Parks and Recreation Department notified all developers who had
Tentative Maps proceeding to the city council for approval and were
in the "pipeline" in their various stages of the approval process.
The size composition of the developer list was mixed; with small,
medium and large developers sharing the approval process in the
pipeline. Approximately 26 Tentative Map developers were sent a
notice, and in addition, staff sent a notice to the Construction
Industry Federation, the Building Industry Association, the Chamber
of Commerce and the Board of Realtors. The notice invited the
developers to a PAD Fee Workshop, presented by staff on April 15,
1991 and advised the recipient of the notice that a public hearing
regarding the proposed PAD fee increase would be held on April 23,
1991.
Progress Construction was in a unique situation which occurs when
a developer plans a project for a single parcel; with no parcel
split (s) . A single parcel project only proceeds through the
Planning Commission for approval of a Tentative Map and such
Tentative Map approval does not proceed to the City Council. Thus,
Progress Construction did not receive the staff-originated notice
of the proposed PAD fee increase.
On September 27, 1991, Parks and Recreation Department staff met
wi th the proj ect Manager for Progress Construction. Progress
Construction advised staff they were aware of the old PAD fee as a
requirement for the development; having been notified of an
estimated PAD fee of $73,125 in a letter from the Engineering
Department on March 14, 1991. Progress Construction has also
stated they are able to pay the original PAD fee of $73,125, but
are not able to pay the increased amount differential of $61,425,
for a new fee of $134,550. Progress Construction is asking for a
waiver of the $61,425 differential amount. Progress Construction
states their financing arrangement with their bank did not include
fee increases; any such additional PAD fee payment would come
directly from the developer's personal financial means.
In staff's opinion, waiving the increase in PAD fees for Progress
Construction will set no adverse precedence, because there is only
one other developer whose Tentative Map did not proceed to the City
Council. A second condominium development, called "Villa del Rey",
also was not notified. Preliminary estimates for PAD fees denote
an increase of $14,750. Staff will notify Villa del Rey, and
should they pursue an appeal of their fee increase, staff will
return to Council with a report and recommendation at that time.

The waiver policy under Municipal Code Master Fee Schedule Section
3.45.010 permits the Council to waive fees on finding of:
1. Peculiar economic hardship or other injustice.
2. Need for revenue
3. Need for a uniform system of collecting revenue.
In July 1990, Council approved a sewer fee increase waiver to a
single family residence property owner based on non-notification of
the impending Sewer Facilities Participation Fee increase. It is
staff's belief that Progress Construction Co., Inc. has suffered a
certain degree of injustice by not receiving the full notification
provided to other developers/contractors in the pipeline at the
time of the PAD fee increase. While staff is aware of the Council
particular interest in increasing parks and recreation facilities
west of 1-805, it is important to be fair and equitable to all
developers and take due diligence in the notification of impending
fee increases.
FISCAL IMPACT: Loss of $61,425 in Park Acquisition and
Development fund revenue.

be closed between Second and Fourth Avenue during the event. The
closure of "E" Street allows for a safer and more efficient parade
.participant dispersal at the end of the event, while exposing more
downtown merchants to parade spectators. "E" Street has been
closed for this event since the 1987 parade.

streets at 2:30 p.m., with all streets closed at 4:45 p.m.
streets will re-open following the parade.
3. permission to post "No Parking" signs on Third Avenue along
the parade route.
4. Use of police services for crowd and traffic control, from
2:30 p.m. to approximately 9:00 p.m. (police Department
hourly wage costs = $1,260.00)

chairs, and delivery, set-up, and removal of this equipment.
(Parks and Recreation costs = $30.00)
6. Use of Parks Division personnel to clean-up trash along the
parade route. (Parks and Recreation hourly wage costs =
$175.00)
7. provision of street sweeping services immediately following
the event. (Public Works costs = $230.00 [paid to Laidlaw])
8. provision and placement of barricades and other traffic-
control equipment. (Rental of barricades/cones costs =
$250.00; Public Works hourly wage costs = $615.00)
Staff has made a determination that the basic costs (Total =
$2,560.00) to the city to provide for the above services can be
absorbed into present budgets. However, the costs reported above
do not include the full cost recovery provision to collect the true
cost of providing city services.

the sponsor.
3. provision of adequate crowd and traffic control as prescribed
by the Police Department.

closures. The sponsor has assured staff that this
notification has already been completed.
The Police Department, Traffic Engineer, Risk Manager, and Public
Works Department concur with the staff conditions. The Transit
Department will arrange the re-routing of buses, as necessary, due
to the street closures. This detouring will be extensive, since
"E" street will be closed and Transit expects a loss of revenue due
to lower ridership of on the evening of the event.
The event is exempt from CEQA requirements with a Class 23
exemption.

The Cultural Arts Commission is requesting funds for a professional consultant
to assist them in establishing a cultural arts plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resol ut ion appropri at i ng $1,000 from
the unappropriated balance of the General Fund.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Cultural Arts Commission has
recommended that Council support thei r request for funds to assi st them in
developing a cultural arts plan.
DISCUSSION:
At their meeting on February 12, 1991, City Council adopted Resolution No.
16067 appropriating $1,000 from the General Fund to defray the cost of an arts
consultant to assi st the Cultural Arts Commi ss i on in formulating goal sand
objectives, and to fund a Cultural Arts Directory (Attachment A). Although
the money was appropriated, funds were inadvertently not encumbered for the
consultant's servi ces duri ng 1 ast fi sca 1 year. The consultant commenced her
work in March 1991 and recently completed her contract. She is now requesting
payment for those servi ces. The work on the Arts Di rectory was compl eted
during last fiscal year. A copy of the original Council report is also
attached (Attachment B).
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is recommending the appropriation of $1,000 from the
unappropriated balance of the General Fund. Of this amount, $500 was funded
through a one-time "pass through" grant from the California Arts Council and
the Public Arts Advisory Council of San Diego County. The appropriation
approved last fiscal year was not used, and funds were returned to the General
Fund at the close of the fiscal year.

a. Consultant's Prooosal & Workshoo Date
Director Valenzuela explained that a report needs to be
submitted to the City Council requesting that they accept
a donation of $500 from the California Arts Couincil.
The Council would then need to allocate an additional
$500 for a total of $1,000 to fund this program. This
process would take at least two weeks to accomplish and
the February 2 date that has already be set for the
workshop may be too soon.
Chair Souval would like the report to go to the City
Council. Discussion followed concerning setting a new
date for the workshop and it was decided that Saturday,
March 2 or a Wednesday evening would be the best times.
Director Valenzuela will contact Mary Powers to confirm
a date. He suggested that Chair Souval attend the
Council meeting when the report will be on the Agenda.
b. Chula vista Arts Directorv
Cheryl Coates, Graphic Artist, presented a sample of the
Chula vista Arts Directory she has been working on.
commissioner Dumlao suggested that money to help pay for

the printing of this directory be requested from COMBO
or some other organization that could benefit from this
directory. He volunteered to contact a couple of these
organizations.
Chair Souval contacted Larry Baza from the County of San
Diego and learned that there are no funds available at
this time, however, he suggested that next year the
Commission can apply for a grant for up to $3,000 through
the Volunteer Funds for the Arts. The deadline is in
June and Chair Souval has put the Commission on their
mailing list.
Director Valenzuela suggested that Fieldstone Development
Corporation could be contacted for funds. '
Discussion followed concerning estimates for the cost of
printing the directory, the binding, and format. The
artwork will be coming from the Chula vista city School
District in about 3 weeks.
Discussion followed concerning the updating and future
issues of the directory. It was agreed that the
Commission is committed to completing this year's
directory and that the subcommittee to find funds will
not be ongoing after this directory.
Sample copies of the directory will go to Chair Souval
and Commissioners Dumlao and Torres for preview. The
funding needed is $2,000 for 500 copies.
Director Valenzuela suggested that once all of Cheryl
Coates work is done on the directory that the Commission
requisition the City to pay her along with the request
to hire a consultant for the workshop as well as a
Cultural Arts Coordinator all in one package to the City
Council.
Motion made that Chair Souval and Commissioner Dumlao and
Commissioner Torres will be the Budget Subcommittee to
seek funding for the directory.

(

Director Valenzuela reported that the justifications have
been written for a CUltural Arts Coordinator and
recommends that this position be funded the first year
and then as grants become available the amount needed in
subsequent years would be less. Chair Souval would like
the Commission to be present at the Council meeting where
this will be discussed. Director Valenzuela will share
the Department I s justifications and the' position's
description at next month's meeting.
commissioner Torres requested that the Commission's
Budget Subcommittee look at the budget for next year.
Director Valenzuela requested that they look at the
Budget soon, possibly this week. The only change would
be for the funding of the Cultural Arts Coordinator
position.
Director Valenzuela said he would give to each Budget
Subcommittee member a copy of the Commission's Budget and
the justifications of the Cultural Arts Coordinator
position.
Discussion continued concerning different avenues for
funding for the Coordinator position and for the
Commission Budget. Senior Recreation Supervisor John
Gates let the Commission know that the City Manager has
requested that there be a 1% to 2% cut in all the
budgets. There is funding in the Budget for all
commissioners to be individual members of CALAA, but for
NALAA the commission will be joined as a whole and not
individually. This would be taken care of by the
Department.

SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
The Cultural Arts Commission is requesting funds for a professional consultant
to assist them in establishing a cultural arts plan and to complete the Chula
Vista Arts Directory.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution accepting, and
appropriating $500 from the Public Arts Advisory Council of San Diego County
and appropriating $1000 from the unappropriated balance of General Fund.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Cultural Arts Commission has
recommended that Council support their request for funds to assist them in
developing a cultural arts plan and completing the Chula Vista Cultural Arts
Di rectory.
DISCUSSION:
This request for funds will pay for a consultant to assist the Cultural Arts
Commission is formulating the Commission's goals and objectives and the
completion of the Cultural Arts directory.
The newly formed Cultural Arts Commission is in the process of establishing a
cultural arts plan for the City. The first step in the process is to identify
short, mid-term and long-range goals and objectives. To effectively
accomplish this plan, the Commission believes that an objective facilitator
would be of great benefit to them in the planning process. An arts consultant
could. work with the Commission in creating a mission statement, goals,
objectives, and strategies. The Commission has reviewed a proposal from Mary
Powers, a consultant that specializes in strategic planning for
organizations. In 1989 and 1990, this consultant worked extensively with the
City of San Diego's Commission for Arts and Culture in formulating their
cultural arts strate9ic plan (see attachment). Ms. Powers also worked with
the City 01 Chula Vista and the County to present a workshop on Cultural Arts
at Southwestern College.
The State of California Arts Council has advised staff about the importance of
utiHzing thp. exptrtise of a trained professional while formulating an arts
plan, particularly when you have diverse interests on a Commission. The State
has SUP90rted Chula Vista's planning efforts by allocating $500 as .pass
through" funds to the County of San Diego and earmarked for the City of Chula
Vish.
I ~ -'l
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 2/12/91
This money is specifically allocated to pay for a facilitator to assist the
new Commission with goal.,-setting. ,-Since Ms. Powers' is requesting $1,000, for
her services, an additional $500 is needed from the City. The consultant fee
reflects a 20% reduction from hernormal.-fee. Staff supports the Commission's
request for funding and believes that it is important for the Commission to
establish a cultural arts plan with guidance and assistance from a
professional facilitator.
The Commission has also requested an additional $500 be allocated to provide
support for the compilation of the Chula Vista Arts Directory. The directory
will identify performing, visual, and literary artists in the community. It
is envisioned that the directory will be a valuable information resource in
developing and enhancing cultural opportunities in the City.
During the Chula Vista 2000 process, the Cultural Arts Subcommittee identified
the need for an arts directory and secured $500 from the Friends of the
library. These funds were used to design, print, and distribute application
forms and to rent a post office box where applications were mailed. There has
been a tremendous response to the Arts directory. Over 375 artists and
organizations have requested that they be included in this material. The
requested funds will partially complete this project by defraying the costs of
compiling the data and graphically presenting it in a directory format. These
funds will not cover for the expenses associated with printing and
distributing the directory to the community. The Cultural Arts Commission has
taken this task upon themselves to secure money from a variety of private
funding sources.
Staff acknowledges the need to complete the collation and design of the
cultural arts directory and supports the Commission's request of $500 to fund
this project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Commission is requesting that $1,500 be appropriated
from the unappropriated balance of the General Fund. Funding will be
allocated to Account 100-1511-5201.

Meeting Date 11/5/91
ITEM TITLE: Resolution II.~~ of Intention to vacate a portion of North Fifth
Avenue and setting the date of the public hearing therefor.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public wor~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager io~ {Io (4/5 Vote: Yes_No..xJ
Dixie1ine Lumber Company, owner of the property at 40 North Fourth Avenue, has requested
that a portion of North Fifth Avenue be vacated by the City. Dixieline claims that realignment
of the street will reduce the impact on the developable area of its properties. By vacating the
subject portion and dedicating new right-of-way, the properties in the area will be better served.
In accordance with Section 8320 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the Council may
initiate the vacation proceeding by adopting a resolution of intention and setting
November 26, 1991, at 6:00 p.m. as the date and time for the associated public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the subject resolution, direct staff to return with
the appropriate resolution at the public hearing and direct the City Clerk to set the public hearing
in accordance with Section 8322 of the Streets and Highways Code for November 26, 1991.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The owners of the properties adjacent to the current alignment of North Fifth Avenue are in the
preliminary processes of developing their land. In order to better serve the parcels with public
access, they propose to realign the street. With reference to Exhibit "A" , the owner of Parcels
1, 2 and 3 is Dixieline Lumber Company, also being one of the applicants in this vacation
request. Parcel 4 is owned by Metropolitan Shopping Square, Ltd., which is in concurrence
with this realignment. The new configuration will serve that parcel better than the current
alignment.
The new configuration of North Fifth Avenue requires dedication of right-of-way by Dixieline.
The old right-of-way extension, which continued northerly in a straight line, will no longer be
needed once the new street is dedicated. Staff intends to have the City Clerk accept the
dedication of the new right-of-way prior to Council acting on the subject vacation.
After investigation of the subj ect matter, staff s fmding are that:
1. North Fifth Avenue is a "paper street" north of the Hodge Bros. Industrial Park
(see Exhibit "A") and, as such, does not have street improvements.
14- ,
Page 2, Item~
Meeting Date-1!.dL.2L
2. Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 must be combined as a condition of approval of the
vacation, so Parcell will not become land-locked by the vacation.
3. The current alignment is no longer necessary, since the freeway prohibits the
northerly extension of the street and there are no plans to provide an overpass for
that purpose.
4. There are existing gas and overhead electric facilities owned by San Diego Gas
and Electric Company located in an existing easement granted to SDG&E prior
to the area being annexed to Chula Vista. (This means we need not reserve an
easement for them.) We will reserve an easement for Sweetwater Authority,
however, for its facilities.
5. The Planning Department was contacted for its comments on this request and
responded with the requirement to consolidate Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 (see Item 2
above).
The land which is proposed to be vacated totals 47,500 square feet, while the land to be
dedicated is 34,000 square feet. Previous Council actions have indicated that the applicant
would be required to pay for the excess right-of-way being vacated. In the attached letter,
Project Design Consultants requests that compensation not be imposed. Staff believes the
reasoning is valid, and expounding on Item 3 in that letter, the right-of-way being dedicated is
73.7% of the land being vacated. However the latter is so heavily encumbered with utilities that
its value is 30 % to 50 % lower in value. Therefore staff is recommending that no compensation
be required. If Council opts to charge a fee, staff will have an appraisal done and return with
the appropriate figure.
In accordance with the Streets and Highways Code, staff feels that Council may adopt the
resolution of intention and direct staff to return in three weeks with the appropriate
recommendation. The resolution of intention must include the following:
1) A declaration of the intention of the legislative body to vacate.
2) A statement that the vacation proceeding is being conducted under this chapter.
3) A description of the general location and a reference to a map or plat that shows
the portion of the area to be vacated, on me with the office of the local agency.
4) The date, time and place for the public hearing, the date being no less than 15
days from the date of the adoption of the resolution of intention.
Engineering staff will be posting notices in the field in accordance with the requirements set
forth in the Streets and Highways Code, Section 8323, once the resolution of intention is
adopted.
(l\ -2..
Page 3, Item--1i--
Meeting Date 11/5/91
Staff recommends that Council adopt the subject resolution, not require any type of payment for
the difference in area being vacated, and direct staff to return with an appropriate resolution for
Council's consideration at the public hearing. The City Clerk should be directed to notice the
public hearing by publishing the notice in a local newspaper for at least two successive weeks
prior to the hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Chu1a Vista, CA 92010
SUBJECT: Extension and Partial vacation of 5th Avenue North
of "e" Street
Dear Mr. Lippitt,
Our firm represents R.E. Hazard Contracting company, who is
processing the Tentative Parcel Map at the northeast corner of
5th Avenue and "C" street. We also represent National Avenue
Associates and Dixie1ine Lumber, Inc., along with Hazard in
their joint effort to improve and extend 5th Avenue northerly
of "c" Street.
PURPOSE OF REALIGNMENT
Part of the street extension process includes realigning 5th
Avenue to a new configuration which would provide improved
access to the oddly shaped parcels in this area. The current
straight alignment of 5th Avenue is no longer appropriate since
the SR 54 freeway has cut off any potential for extension to
National City. The street extension involves the dedication of
additional right-of-way along the new alignment and vacation of
a portion of 5th Avenue through the Dixie1ine property. A 4
foot strip of land on is also proposed to be vacated on both
sides of the remaining portion 5th Avenue to provide the
ultimate 72 foot City standard width.
ISSUE OF COMPENSATION
We are advised by the Engineering Department that the city has
a policy to obtain compensation for vacation right-of-way. We
are requesting that the City waive any compensation as part of
this action for the following reasons:
1. The area of new right-of-way to be dedicated by the
property owners is approximately 35,000 square feet, while
the area of right-of-way to be vacated by the city is
approximately 47,500 square feet. However, even after
vacation, the remaining land will be severely encumbered

by existing utilities and the resultant utility easements.
These encumbrances include a 69 KV overhead powerline, an
8 inch sanitary sewer and 10 inch and 20 inch high-
pressured gas mains. The land being dedicated is
virtually unencumbered and, therefore, has a considerably
higher value per square foot. Viewed from an industrial
use standpoint, the new dedication area has a considerably
higher total value than the right-of-way being vacated by
the city.
2. The principal action which is occurring is the 'development
of 'the National Avenue Associates property to the
northwest, necessitating a resolution of the 5th Avenue
alignment at this time. The vacation of a portion of 5th
Avenue and dedication of other sections is a resultant.
necessity of the realignment. The fact that the new
street is slightly shorter than the existing right-of-way
is purely coincidental; it serves the logical needs of the
properties as currently configured. Further, Oixieline
Lumber, Inc., which receives the majority of the vacated
right-of-way, will be severely iimited in its use of the
land due to the easement and utility encumbrances.
3. While the dedications and vacations do not effect each of
the three property owners in a "pro-rata" or equal
fashion, the property owners have entered into a private
agreement approving the alignment, the disposition of the
vacated right-of-way, and sharing in the cost of
improvements.
4. presently, 5th Avenue is only partiallY improved for a
short length and encumbered by a transmission powerline
down the middle of the right-of-way. It is also severely
effected by floodplain. Under the new proposal, the
powerlines will be relocated, the. street improved to
current city standards, and an alignment pro".riaed meeting
the access needs of the three property owners. .
We would appreciate your review of this request in light of the
pending action of the City Council on November 5, 1991. We
also request that this letter be included in the information
package to the City Council for their information.
Yours very truly,
~~.~

March 26, 1985, between Metropolitan properties, Inc., as Lessor,
and Robert Penner, M.D., and David Malcolm, as Lessee, as
amended, that Lessee is to perform.
Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting Guarantor's'liability under this guaranty.
The provisions of the Ground Lease may be changed by agree-
ment between Lessor and Lessee at any time, or by course of con-
duct, without the consent of or without notice to Guarantor.
This Guaranty shall not be affected by Lessor I s failure or
delay to enforce any of its rights.
If Lessee defaults under the Ground Lease, Lessor can pro-
ceed immediately against Guarantor or Lessee, or both, or Lessor
can enforce against Guarantor or Lessee, or both, any rights that
it has under the Ground Lease, or pursuant to applicable laws.
If the Ground Lease terminates and Lessor has any rights it can
enforce against Lessee after termination, Lessor can enforce
those rights against Guarantor without giving previous notice to

against Lessee; (2) proceed against or exhaust any security that
Lessor holds f rom Lessee; or (3) pursue any other remedy in
Lessor's power.
Guarantor waives any defense by reason of any
di sabi li ty of Lessee and wa i ves any other defense based on the
termination of Lessee's liability from any cause.
Unt il all
Lessee's obligations to Lessor have been discharged in full,
Guarantor has no right of subrogation against Lessee. Guarantor
waives any right to participate in any security now or later held
by Lessor.
Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for per-
formance, not ices of nonperformance, protests, not ices of pro-
test, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this
Guaranty and waives all notices of the existence, creation, or
incurring of new or additional obligations.
If Guarantor should be called upon to perform the obliga-
tions of Lessee under the Ground Lease, LeSsor will, at Guaran-
tor's request, terminate the Ground Lease with Lessee and subse-
quently lease the Premises to Guarantor on the same terms and
conditions as the Ground Lease.
If Lessor disposes of its interest in the Ground Lease,
"Lessor", as used in this Guaranty, shall mean Lessor 's succes-
SOl'S.
If Lessor is required to enforce Guarantor's obligations by
legal proceedings, Guarantor shall pay to Lessor all costs in-

ITEM TITLE:
Meeting Date 11/5/91
Resolution Il..::''i~ Releasing Bonita Long Canyon
Partnership from the requirement to improve the intersection
of Bonita Road and Central Avenue as identified on the Interim
Financing Agreement dated October 27, 1987 and authorizing the
release of a bond guaranteeing said improvements
Director of PUb~C Work~~
City Manager ~/f~ (4j5ths Vote: Yes___No~)
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
In October 1987, the City entered into an "Interim Financing Agreement" with
Bonita Long Canyon Partnership. The purpose of the agreement was to mitigate
potential traffic impacts related to development of Bonita Long Canyon Units
4, 5, 6, and 7 through the payment of fees and the construction of certain
street improvements on Central Avenue which is located in the unincorporated
territory of the County. Bonita Long Canyon guaranteed performance of the
improvements with a bond in the amount of $287,000. All of the required
improvements have been constructed except for enl argi ng the intersection of
Central Avenue and Bonita Road.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The City approved the Tentative Map for Bonita Long Canyon, Units 2 through 7
on December 17, 1985. Among the conditions of approval of the Tentative Map
were the requirements to construct the following improvements in Central
Avenue:
a. Signal ization of the intersection of Corral Canyon Road and Central
Avenue.
b. Widening Central Avenue from 28 to 36 feet (curb to curb).
c. Widening the intersection of Bonita Road and Central Avenue to
provide dual 1 eft-turn 1 anes for westbound Central Avenue traffi c
and to provide right turn 1 anes at the other three 1 egs of the
intersection.
On October 27, 1987, the developer entered into an agreement titled an
"Interim Financing Agreement" with the City to guarantee construction of the
required improvements. The interim financing agreement itself, was the
forerunner of the Eastern Territories Development Fee (DIF), which was
subsequently adopted in 1989. When this agreement was presented to Council,
Central Avenue was included in the list of projects to be constructed
util izing impact fees. When the DIF was adopted, it did not include Central
Avenue, since Central Avenue was not considered to be a "regional
transportation facil ity."
)5../
Page 2, Item IS
Meeting Date 11/5/91
The improvements 1 isted in items a and b above have been completed to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer.
On October 9, 1990, Bonita Long Canyon Partnership requested that the Interim
Financing Agreement be modified to eliminate the provision requiring
construction of the intersection improvements in item c.
Staff supports the request to eliminate the requirement based on the following
reasons:
1. With the extension of Corral Canyon Road northerly to East H Street,
Bonita Long Canyon has less of an impact on the subject intersection
than had been previ ously predi cted. The intersect i on appears to be
working adequately at this time, with almost all of the homes in
Bonita Long Canyon occupied.
2. The County is currently redesigning the alignments of Central Avenue
and Bonita Road, including the subject intersection, to bring
Central Avenue more directly to Briarwood Road. Thus, improvements
that Bonita Long Canyon would be required to install would likely be
temporary in nature.
3. The interim financing agreement provides for the developer to
receive credits against DIF Fees for costs associated with design
and construction of the improvements required by the agreement.
Central Avenue improvements are completed and the developer has been
given credit for his work. The intersection may be redesigned in a
later project for Bonita Road. Our D.I.F. program has two projects
on Bonita Road totalling $1,371,400. Since Long Canyon has paid all
their fees, it does not seem appropriate to have them construct the
temporary improvements.
Staff, therefore, concludes that the benefit of constructing the subject
intersection improvements would be marginal. Since the subject intersection
improvements are the last item of the interim financing agreement to be
guaranteed by the $287,000 bond, if Council approves releasing the developer
from this requirement, it would be appropriate to release the bond.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the City.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA RELEASING BONITA LONG CANYON
PARTNERSHIP FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO IMPROVE
THE INTERSECTION OF BONITA ROAD AND CENTRAL
AVENUE AS IDENTIFIED ON THE INTERIM FINANCING
AGREEMENT DATED OCTOBER 27, 1987 AND
AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF A BOND GUARANTEEING
SAID IMPROVEMENTS
The city Council of the City of Chula vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, in October, 1987, the city entered into an
"Interim Financing Agreement" with Bonita Long Canyon Partnership
to mitigate potential traffic impacts related to development of
Bonita Long Canyon Units 4, 5, 6 and 7 through the payment of fees
and the construction of certain street improvements on Central

WHEREAS, Bonita Long Canyon guaranteed performance of the
improvements with a bond in the amount of $287,000 and all of the
required improvements have been constructed except for enlarging
the intersection of Central Avenue and Bonita Road; and
WHEREAS, on October 9, 1990, Bonita Long canyon
Partnership requested that the Interim Financing Agreement be
modified to eliminate the provision of requiring construction of
the intersection improvements; and
WHEREAS, staff supports the request to eliminate the
requirement based on the following reasons:
1. with the extension of Corral Canyon Road northerly
to East H street, Bonita Long Canyon has less of an
impact on the subject intersection than had been
previously predicted. The intersection appears to
be working adequately at this time, with almost all
of the homes in Bonita Long Canyon occupied.
2. The County is currently redesigning the alignments
of Central Avenue and Bonita Road, including the
subject intersection, to bring Central Avenue more
directly to Briarwood Road. Thus, improvements
that Bonita Long Canyon would be required to
install would likely be temporary in nature.
3. The interim financing agreement provides for the
developer to receive credits against DIF Fees for
1
IS..,!}
costs associated with design and construction of
the improvements required by the agreement.
Central Avenue improvements are completed and the
developer has been given credit for his work. The
intersection may be redesigned in a later project
for Bonita Road. Our D.I.F. program has two
projects on Bonita Road totalling $1,371,400.
Since Long Canyon has paid all their fees, it does

temporary improvements.
WHEREAS, staff concludes that the benefit of
constructing the subject intersection improvements would be
marginal since the subject intersection improvements are the last

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city Council of
the city of Chula vista does hereby release Bonita Long Canyon

Bonita Road and Central Avenue as identified on the Interim
Financing Agreement dated October 27, 1987 and authorizing the

REVIEWED BY:
On February 19, 1991, the City Council by Resolution No. 16071, awarded a
contract in the amount of $207,000.00 (including contingencies) for the Phase
XIX thru XXII street improvements at various locations to Caves Construction.
The work is now completed.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a resolution: 1) accepting the contract
work, and 2) appropriating $44,000 from the unappropriated Gas Tax Fund
balance to cover staff costs expenses incurred to construct the project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Caves Construction completed the construction of Phase XIX thru XXII street
improvements (at 41 separate locations) on September 10, 1991. A final
inspection was made on September 11, 1991, and all work was found to be
completed in accordance with the contract plans and specifications and to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Staff has now received and paid all the contractual invoices for this project
and completed our accounting of the expenditures. It should be noted that the
cost of administering and designing Block Act projects is high because parcels
are located at various (41) locations throughout the entire City and
additional administrative procedures are required by law. In addition, the
City will be reimbursed about $153,000 of the construction cost by the various
property owners over a 10-year period. A publ ic hearing will be set in the
near future to set the actual assessments to be levied to the various parcels.

REVIEWED BY:
There have been several changes to the Ci ty' s ci rcul at i on system si nce the
existing truck routes were established in 1975 and amended in 1982. Review of
existing truck routes by staff show a revision of the present routes is
necessary to complement the changes and expansion of the City of Chula Vista.
Revisions to Chula Vista Municipal Code sections 10.64.010 and 10.64.040 are
also needed.
RECOMMENDATION: Place this ordinance on first reading adopting additional
truck routes within the City limits and amend the Chula Vista Municipal Code
Sections 10.64.010 and 10.64.040.
Approve the Resolution appropriating $1,000 from the General Fund for Truck
Route signs.
DISCUSSION:
Sect ions 35700, 35701 and 35703 of the Ca 1 Horni a Vehi cl e Code do all ow any
city to prohibit the use of a street by any commercial vehicle or any vehicle
exceeding a maximum gross weight limit, such as 10,000 pounds, except with
respect to vehicles used for the collection and transportation of garbage,
rubbish or refuse. However, the truck route provisions cannot prohibit
commerci a 1 vehi cl es from us i ng a restri cted street when 'necessary for the
purpose of serving buildings or structures located on the re~tricted street.
Truck routes are used to designate which streets commercial vehicles can use
when transporting goods within the City. The movement of all goods on
vehicles exceeding 10,000 pounds shall be confined to designated truck
routes. Staff has put together a plat which illustrates the types of vehicles
which fall into the following three categories:
1. Vehicles less than 6,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight. These vehicles are
passenger cars, vans, pickups and motorcycles.
2. Vehicles greater than 6,000 lbs. and less than 10,000 lbs gross vehicle
weight. These vehicles are 1 ight duty trucks, vans and trucks towing
ut il ity trailers. Most of these vehicl es are based on pi ckup truck or
van chassis and would not be of the tractor trailer type. The overall
vehicle length is comparable to a large passenger car.
p- \
Page 2, Item 11
Meeting Date 11/5/91
3. Vehicles greater than 10,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight. Vehicles in
this category are tractor trailer trucks with one or two (tandem)
trailers and large single-unit (no trailer) trucks, such as a two axle
moving/delivery truck. These types of commercial vehicles require a
class I drivers license. It is these vehicles which will be restricted
to the truck routes, due to their weight and overall length.
The Circulation Element and Chula Vista Street Network have changed since the
exi st i ng truck routes were 1 ast amended on January 12, 1982. These changes
include the addition of more ramps to and from 1-5 freeway, I-80S freeway,
SR-54, the annexation of Montgomery area from the County of San Diego and the
construction of various streets and avenues throughout the City. The purpose
of this report is to make additions to the existing truck route system in view
of the changes in the street network. Chapter 10.64 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code pertains to truck routes within the City limits.
Changes to the Municipal Code are also needed to clarify sections 10.64.010
and 10.64.040. Revisions to section 10.64.010 will be to establish truck
routes by ordinance as required by the Vehicle Code instead of by resolution.
The revision to 10.64.040 will be to delete the reference to resolution while
retaining the reference to establishing by ordinance. There is also a
discrepancy with the gross weight. Section 10.64.040 will be changed from
6,000 to 10,000 pounds (see attached). The proposed increase in weight to
10,000 pounds will not have a detrimental effect on the pavement and on
noise. Since light duty trucks are based on heavy duty pickup or van chassis,
the noi se generated by these vehi cl es wi 11 be the same as a pi ckup or van.
This change is necessary to prohibit only heavy duty trucks from using
a lternate routes throughout the Ci ty. In addition, the truck routes wi 11
provide guidance to the operators of these large vehicles as they travel
through the Montgomery area and eastern portion of the City where most of the
proposed truck routes are needed.
The following are existing truck routes.

Consideration was given in establishing the truck routes to the impact/effect
of truck noise and attendant air pOllution on the above streets. The truck
routes were chosen so that there is minimal impact on residential areas. Most
of the routes serve the industrial area of Chula Vista and are logical choices
for truck use (see attached). Establishing these streets as truck routes may
reduce truck use in the central area of Chula Vista, especially on residential
streets. East H Street has been extended east of 1-805 to serve the easterly
part of the City. In addition, truck routes will be established on Main
Street, Palomar Street, Beyer Way, and Anita Street to serve the commercial
activities in the Montgomery area. These are also good connectors for trucks
to and from 1-5 freeway and I-80S freeway.
Chapter 10.64 (formerly Article 13 of Chapter 19) of the City Code prohibits
vehicles in excess of 6,000 pounds (to be changed to 10,000 pounds) from being
operated on other than truck routes. Per the Cal ifornia Vehicle Code, the
n- ~
Page 4, Item )1
Meeting Date 11/5/91
10,000 pound restriction will apply to all commercial vehicles except those
exempted such as buses, governmental fi re servi ce vehi cl es, publ i c util ity
vehicles and trash trucks. However, this section also permits truck use of
any City street if it is necessary to use such a street to deliver or pick up
merchandise or engage in any construction activities on private property,
buildings, etc. Therefore, the recommended truck routes are intended only to
guide trucks through the City streets and do not automatically prohibit trucks
from using any other City street not included on the list.
As the City continues to develop, the street network will change. Periodic
review of the truck routes could result in further changes. The use of 1-5,
I-80S and Route 54 freeways could reduce truck use on parallel City streets.
Further changes will be recommended if and when necessary.
Funds for the Truck Route signs need to be appropriated from the General Fund
to account 100-1432-5346. The cost for 30 signs is $1,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,000 for 30 signs.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning ;/11
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~'~:Jb (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.-I.J
--rrl
The Interfaith Shelter Network, which sponsors and coordinates a temporary,
rotational homeless shelter program involving churches throughout the County,
has requested that the City consider streaml ining certain local procedural
requirements which now apply to churches that wish to participate in the
program.
The proposed amendment would allow churches to provide shelter for the
home 1 ess for two weeks per year without the necess ity to secure a zon i ng
permit or to notice surrounding residents each year prior to providing the
shelter services.
This project is exempt from environmental review as a categorical exemption,
Class 23 Section 15323.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the ordinance enacting PCA-91-06.

On September 25,1991, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that
Council approve the amendments in accordance with Resolution PCA-91-06.
DISCUSSION:
The City has recognized that the prOV1Slon of shelter for the homeless is an
appropriate function of community churches where permanent facilities are
adequate to support such act i vit i es. The current standards requi re churches
to secure a zoning permit, notice surrounding residents, and prepare other
supporting information on an annual basis in order to participate in the
shelter program. Although staff has attempted to assist in the process in any
way possible, including the preparation of mailing labels to meet the noticing
requirement, the process has been perceived as an unnecessary burden by some
of the churches participating in the program.
After three years experience with the program, the Planning Department has not
recei ved any responses or objections resulting from the not ifi cat i on sent to

adjacent property owners regarding the church shelter operations.
neither the Planning or Police Departments, nor the Code Enforcement
have any record of complaints regarding the temporary shelters.
Because the use of churches as shelters is deemed appropriate and necessary by
the City, and since no concerns or complaints have been voiced by neighboring
residents regarding the use, it would appear appropriate to amend the
requirements in order to simplify the process, while maintaining the time
limitations and the substantive standards regarding size, supervision and
adherence to health and safety regulations. For example, a church could still
not serve as a shelter for more than two weeks per year without the express
approval of the Zoning Administrator.

EXCERPT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF 9/25/91
ITEM 4:
PUBLIC HEARING; PCA-91-06: CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT
TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO DELETE CERTAIN PROCEDURAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHURCHES THAT PROVIDE TEMPORARY
SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS - City Initiated
Senior Planner Griffin designated the areas being considered, and stated that several of the
churches had seen the procedural requirements in terms of the zoning permit and noticing as a
burden. During the time of the churches' participation, the City had not received any objections
or complaints regarding the operation of the shelters. Staff supported an amendment which
would delete the requirement for a zoning permit, the detailed program and scheduling
information which is generally the same every year and closely controlled by the Interfaith
Shelter Network, as well as the noticing requirements to the surrounding residents. One of the
provisions to be left in the procedural requirements is the provision that if there are any
violations of standards or any complaints received, the shelter could be immediately closed. The
Resource Conservation Commission voted 4-3 to recommend that the ordinance not be amended,
because they thought the noticing should continue. Mr. Griffin noted that Planning Intern
Georgia Rubin had prepared the report and was assisting him, if there were any questions.
Chair Fuller asked how complicated it was for a church to notice the surrounding residents. Mr.
Griffm said it was a 300' notice around the perimeter of the church property itself. The
Planning Department provides the churches with the mailing labels. The notice would be
prepared, copied, stuffed, and mailed by the churches.
Chair Fuller felt it might be a good public relations thing to do. Mr. Griffin concurred;
however, he said the churches felt the area residents had been noticed, that they know the
churches have the shelter every year, and the churches felt it was unnecessary to do it again.
Mr. Griffin also commented that the churches felt this was part of their function as a church and
their service to the community. Staff thought this was a reasonable request based on the lack
of any problems with the facilities over the last three years.
Commissioner Decker questioned the 180-day extension of time. Senior Planner Griffm agreed
that "up to 180 days" would be a better way of phrasing item 1, and suggested that the Planning
Commission might add it to the recommendation.
Commissioner Decker asked why the churches needed to request an inspection. Mr. Griffm
answered that previously when the zoning permit was requested, the Fire and Building
Departments would be notified and would arrange for inspections. Without an application for
a permit, the churches would have to let the City know when they would be setting up for the
shelter. The churches are under the umbrella of the Interfaith Shelter Network who makes sure
the shelters are up to Code.

PC Minutes
-8-
September 25, 1991
Commissioner Decker was concerned that it was optional on the part of the church. Assistant
Planning Director Lee suggested it be changed to read "The church shall request an inspection
to be conducted by the City. "
Commissioner Decker noted they would only be required to meet Code standards as a church
and not as a dwelling establishment. Assistant City Attorney Rudolf said he understood as soon
as someone was there sleeping overnight, it became a dwelling and then those Code requirements
kick in and are enforced.
Commissioner Casillas commented on the exclusion of alcohol drug abusers, the mentally ill,
those convicted with any crime, etc. and wanted to know if the shelters had been able to exclude
them 100%. Senior Planner Griffin asked that Mary Niez of the Interfaith Shelter Network
respond.
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Mary Niez, 3435 Camino del Rio South, #108, San Diego 92108, representing Interfaith Shelter
Network, said the Network was a 5-year-old project currently under the San Diego County
Ecumenical Conference. There are no permanent shelters for the homeless in the South Bay or
in the City of Chula Vista, and the congregations provide a service to the community. Ms. Niez
said the screening happens by Lutheran Special Services Project Hand. She went on to explain
how the "guests" were screened and what they were required to do in order to use a shelter.
She distributed the "Temporary Health and Safety Guidelines," to the Commissioners. She said
the requirements were very stringent for congregations, case managers, and guests. Any guests
who violate the rules are asked to leave and are referred back to their case managers, who are
available during the evening. Ms. Niez noted the Fire Department would be given a schedule
as to when and where the shelters would be held.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf asked if Ms. Niez concurred that Item 3 read "A post set-up pre-
shelter inspection shall be conducted by the City in order to determine compliance with
applicable building, health, safety and fire regulations." Ms. Niez replied that it was acceptable.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
MSUC (Decker/Casillas) 4-0 to recommend that the City Council amend the Municipal Code
in accordance with Exhibit A, as amended.

report.
These amendments would change the Traffic Threshold Standard from the
Intersect i on Capacity Utili zat ion (ICU) method to the 1985 Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM) method and change the focus of the Economics Threshold Standard
to fiscal matters, including an annual review of the development impact fee
programs.
Growth Management Implementation
and the Threshold Standards Pol icy
Oversight. Commission in its 1990
The amendments were reviewed by the Planning Commission and Montgomery
Planning Committee at a joint workshop with the GMOC on July 10, 1991. The

Ordinance contained in Exhibit "A".
3. Adopt the proposed amendment to the Growth Management Program contai ned
in Exhibit "B".
4. Adopt the proposed amendment to the Threshold Standards Policy contained

Meeting Date 11/5/91
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Pl ann i ng Commi ss i on, Montgomery
Planning Committee, and Growth Management Oversight Commission recommended
approval of the proposed amendments as part of their review of the 1990 GMOC
report on July 10, 1991. In addition, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing on the proposed amendments on October 9, 1991, and voted 5-0 to
recommend approval of the amendments.
DISCUSSION:
A. Traffic Threshold Standard Amendment
During the review of the 1989 Traffic Monitoring Program prepared for the
GMOC, the City Council requested that the GMOC further examine the
advantages and disadvantages of the Intersection Capacity Utilization
(ICU) method as compared to the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) method
of measuring traffic congestion.
The GMOC review of these different methods revealed that the 1985 Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) method of measuring traffic congestion is less
theoretical and more empirically based than the Intersection Capacity
Utilization (ICU) method. It was also noted that SANDAG will be using
the 1985 HCM method for regional transportation planning studies in
conjunction with the Regional Growth Management Quality of Life Standards
and the Congestion Management Program.
The 1985 HCM method completely redefi nes Level of Serv i ce (LOS) as a
function of vehicle "Stopped Time Delay". In addition, the new method
provides for the direct calculation of delays based upon volume,
saturation flow rate, lost time, cycle length, phase time, progression,
and vol ume/capacity ratio. Through the use of personal computers, the
equation is a very easy and efficient way to analyze intersections.
It must be noted, however, that the two methods (ICU and HCM) are
fundamentally different and levels of service cannot be compared, despite
the fact that both methods use the same nomenclature, i.e., A, 8, C, D,
E, and F to illustrate levels of service. A LOS "C" using ICU is not the
same as LOS "C" using HCM. However, the new method is better because:
Stopped Time Delay methodology provides the best available tool
for analyzing signal ized intersections and can be easily used
for both planning and operational analysis.
Other methodologies define Level of Service by inconsistent
criteria which cannot be correlated with the delay definition.
Software is presently available to allow quick and easy
application of the delay methodology.
All future GMOC Traffic Monitoring Studies and Traffic Impact Study
Reports will utilize the HCM delay methodology for calculating
intersection levels of service and circulation system performance. The
GMOC will continue to monitor the use of this new technique during the
annual Threshold Standard review.

B. Fiscal/Economic Threshold Standard Amendment
The 1990 GMOC Report noted that the economic threshold standard needed to
be clarified with respect to the Council /s expectation. The GMOC has
been uncomfortable with its role in reviewing the economic threshold for
the last three years due to the 1 ack of focus in its revi ew. Economi cs
is such a broad subject that it is diffi cul t for the GMOC to devote the
required time and energy to reviewing the state of the City' s economic
health. The other difficulty is that a large part of economic change is
not related to new development which is the primary focus of the GMOC.
Economic change is largely affected by factors such as monetary pol icy,
corporate decisions, market conditions and so on.
The Council recognized the need to make a change in GMOC's assignment and
di rected the Fi sea l/Economi c Threshold Standard be revi sed to transfer
economics from the GMOC review to the newly created Economic Development
Commi ss i on. GMOC wi 11 continue to revi ew the fi sea 1 impacts of growth
and monitor the development impact fee program.
C. Conclusion
Several factors support the proposed amendment to the Traffic Threshold
Standard described above:
The Department of Public Works has studied the change in the Traffic
Threshold Standard and recommended approval to the GMOC.
The HCM method is a more up-to-date technique for measuring traffic
congestion as evidenced by the endorsement of the Transportation
Research Board, National Research Council.
SANDAG is using the HCM method for regional transportation planning
studies.
With respect to the change to the Fi sea l/Economi c Threshol d Standard, the
following factors support the proposed amendment:
The economic condition of the City is not so much rel ated to new
development as to broader regional, state and national factors;
therefore, the Growth Management Oversight Commission has had
difficulty assessing the economic component of the threshold
standard based solely on new growth.
The creation of the Economic Development Commission provides a ideal
forum for addressing the economic condition of the City.
The recommended changes to the Traffic and Economics Threshold Standards
involve amendments to the three separate policy documents as described in the
recommendation and attached to this report as Exhibits "A" (Growth Management
Implementation Ordinance), Exhibit "B" (Growth Management Program) and Exhibit
"c" (Threshold Standards Pol icy).
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Code relating to regulation of tow companies
b)
Resol uti on Appro vi ng distribution on an RFP to
select tow companies for Police requested towing service and

SUSMImD BY:
REVIEWED BY:
As a result of an increasing number of tow companies wanting to be added to
the Police Department's tow list, the department is recommending a two-fold
revision to the existing selection process. First, we are recommending :a
change from the minimum qualifications stated in the current tow agreement to
requiring higher qualification standards. Second, we are recommending 'a
Request for Proposal (RFP), see Attachment A, process to select t~e three (3)
most qualified tow companies, and to enter into a long-term agreement with
these companies for referral service.
RECOfoIIIENDA TI ON :
1. Place on first reading.
2. Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The existing policy for Police-initiated tows allows any tow company meeting
the minimum qualifications to be placed on the active list at any time. Each
company is then granted their equal share of emergency referrals for a
specific number of days each month. The resulting effect on the tow companies
when a new cOlllpany is added is a reducti on in the number of days per month
that the tow company gets referral s. For tow companies that rely to a great
extent on police business, each additional tow company added to the list means
a reduction in their business and profits.
The Police Department's main concern is that the tow companies provide quality
service for our officers and citizens. If a tow company consistently has long
response times, thi s affects the Pol ice Offi cer' s abfl i ty to return to acti ve
patrol, si nee they must wait for the tow truck to arrive to cl ean up i1n a rea
after an accident. In addition, a driver with limited understanding of their
equipment can mean additional damage to a citizen's vehicle.

Proposed High Qualifications Requirements
By imp1 ementing the foll owing hi gher standards and ho1 ding the tow campani es
accountable for maintaining those standards, the department bel ieves that the
service provided will also improve. The tow companies recommended
Jmp1 ementi ng the hi gher standards and have agr I to the proposed changes
1 isted below.
The higher qualifications proposed for the new agreement are basically an
enhancement of the existing minillllm qual i fi cati ons found in the existing
agreement.
The following are the major proposed revisions to the current agreement:
J
1 . Res ponse T1 me
Current Agreement
20 minute response time
Proposed Agreement

arrive within the' 20 minute
response. tow companies will give
a revised E. T.A. or recommend
calling another company if
response will be delayed beyond 40
minutes.
2. Equipment Requirement
Current Agreement
Two twin boom trucks. 10.000

4. Positive Citizen/Police Relations
Current Agreement
None
Proposed Agreement
Good reputation for dealing with
the public. Tow company may be
removed from the acti ve 1 i st as a
resu1 t of excessi ve ci ti zen and/or
police complaints.
5. Abandoned Vehicles
CUrrent Agreement
The on-duty tow company will tow
at least five abandoned vehicles
each day (Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at no
cost to the City.
Request For Proposal
The Police Department believes this RFP is the most effective way to improve
the Quality of service from tow companies. By selecting the top three
companies for an exclusive contract, we believe the companies have a greater
incentive to provide and maintain Quality service and will be much more
willing to work with us to alleviate the abandoned vehicle problem.
Proposed Agreement
The on-duty tow company will tow
up to ten abandoned vehi c1 es
each day (Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at no
cost to the City.
.
The process itself shall consist of several steps. First, the RFP will be
distributed to all licensed tow companies in San Diego County and also
available at the Chula Vista Police Department.
There will be an optional pre-bid conference where any interested companies
may ask questions about the RFP. The companies will be given a minimum of 30
days in which to prepare their proposals. The due date will be listed on the
RFP and rei terated at the prebid conference. Any proposal returned after the
due date will be time stamped and returned unopened to the proposer.
The proposal will provi de general information on the tow company, i ncl udi ng
ownership, 1QC~tion, company history, employees, vehicles, communication
equipment, proof of insurance and business 1 icenses. It will be used to
screen qualified from unqualified candidates. Those proposers who are deemed
qualified will then be evaluated based on:
1. proposal (weight 40') - Review of service proposed.
2. Site visit (weight 4~) - inspection of vehicles, equipment and storage
facilities.
3. Reference Review (weight 20') - review of references.
.
.
.'
Page 4, Item 19a, b
Meeting Date 3/28/89
The RFPs will be evaluated by a panel selected by the Director of Public
Safety. Panel members shall include persons outside the City of Chula Vista
with expertise in police towing.
.J
The three, tow companies to score the highest after
.interview, site visit and inspection and review of
recol1l1lended for an excl usi ve three-year contract.
have a two-year option to renew for a possible total
Ordinance Amendments
review of their proposal,
their references shall be
This contract shall also
of fi ve years.
Chapter 5.58 of the Municipal Code related to tow trucks is proposed to be
amended. The changes include:
Section 5.58.030 Regulations Generally.
Addition of requirement for an RFP process to select the tow
companies to receive emergency police referrals.
.
Section 5.58.070 Insurance Requi red.
Section 5.58.080 Bond Required.
.
,
.
,
Both sections are recommended to be deleted from the Code; Since the
requirement levels for bonds and insurance fluctuate, it is more
appropriate to refer to these requirements in the contract and/or RFP
so that they may be easily revised as necessary.
Section 5.58.075 Indemnification and Hold Harmless, Insurance, and Bond
Requirements
Any agreement to provide tow service shall include a hold harmless
cl ause and bond and insurance requi rements as requi red by Ci ty Risk
Manager and City Attorney.
Recol1l1lendati on
The Department is recommending that an RFP process be instituted to select tow
compani es to receive police emergency tow referral s. The number of tow
companies is proposed to be limited to three, and long term exclusive contract
established with the three companies. The Companies selected will be SUbject
to stricter qaanfications and will be closely monitored to ensure that they
continue to meet the terms of their contract. The Municipal Code is also
recommended for revision in accordance with the other proposed changes.
The Department believes that by implementing the proposed changes in this
program, the result will be more efficient and effective tow service for the
police officers and the citizens.
FISCAL IMPACT: No change is recommended for the current tow rate fee
schedule. In the past, changes in the rates have been made only after staff
has analyzed requests from the tow companies and presented a recol1l1lendation to
the Council.

Should the GMOC determine that the Threshold Standard is not being satisfied, then
the City Council shall, within 60 days of the GMOC's report, schedule and hold a
public hearing for the purpose of adopting a moratorium on the acceptance of new
tentative map applications, based on all of the following criteria:
l. That the moratorium is limited to an area wherein a causal relationship to
the problem has been established; and,
2. That the moratorium provides a mitigation measure to a specifically
identified impact.
Should a moratorium be established, the time shall be used to expeditiously prepare
specific mitigation measures for adoption which are intended to bring the condition

The City of Chula Vista monitors and controls traffic improvements through a
number of mechanisms. In 1989, the City authorized preparation of a comprehen-
sive Transportation Phasing Plan for eastern Chula Vista (ECVTPP). The City also
recently completed a comprehensive traffic monitoring report. At the present time,
the ECVTPP is being updated.

Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Phasin2 Plan - Summary
As indicated, the City analyzes traffic with both the monitoring program and the
Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Phasing Plan (ECVTPP) information.
The first ECVTPP, which was prepared in June 1989, serves as the City's master
plan for phasing street improvements in the eastern portion of the City. This plan
projects the allowable levels of development which can occur in the eastern territo-
ries of the City prior to making specific street improvements. It also identifies the
various improvements necessary to maintain an acceptable level of service on the
circulation system.
The key facility need identified in the first ECVTPP is the future construction of
SR 125. Cumulative development, approximately 9,100 EDUs, will necessitate the
construction of this critical north-south roadway before additional development of
the eastern portion of the planning area can occur.
The ECVTPP identifies future needs for facilities based upon development
projections and identifies thresholds that will require new or improved facilities to
be constructed in response to development. This phasing plan enables the city and
property owners to plan for financing of needed facilities and provides an "early
warning" system for future improvements. It provides notification to other public
agencies when development is expected to occur that will create additional demands

TRAFFIC
for other public facilities and services. The ECVTPP is currently being updated to
reassess and evaluate projected traffic from new development. The initial findings
of this updated study are discussed under ECVTPP update.
ECVTPP Update
In order to prepare an updated ECVTPP, it was necessary to validate the travel
forecast model. This calibration was accomplished by beginning with the City of
Chula Vista's 1987 Travel Forecast Model which was used for the Circulation
Element of the General Plan. Then, the City's existing land use information from
1987 to 1990 was updated by Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ). The roadway network
and all intersections within the Eastern Territories were surveyed to document 1990
conditions. The 1987 SANDAG roadway data file was then updated to correspond
to observed 1990 roadway characteristics. A series of 1990 travel forecasts was
prepared until the travel forecast projected daily traffic volumes which were consis-
tent with 1990 observed ground counts in the Eastern Territories.
The preliminary phasing of development for purposes of testing the ability of the
roadway system to operate within the limits established by the threshold standard
was conducted initially using two approaches. The first, combined all projects with
approved final and tentative subdivision maps into an "approved" category of
development. The second, used the projected phasing of development based upon
input received from the development community regardless of the entitlement status.
Roadwav System Performance Testinl!
Following the travel forecast model validation, the roadway system was tested based
upon the land use phasing information and approaches described above.
The first test of the roadway system used the "approved" projects, those with
approved final and tentative subdivision maps. The existing roadway conditions and
programmed improvements contained in the conditions of approval for these projects
as well as the Capital Improvement Budget improvements were incorporated to the
roadway network. The SANDAG 1995 Series 7 land use forecast and street
network assumptions were used for areas outside of the City of Chula Vista.
At least one intersection is projected to fail in maintaining compliance with the
City's adopted threshold standard. This intersection is Telegraph Canyon Road I
Crest Drive I Oleander Avenue. A second intersection, East "H" Street I Hidden
Vista I Terra Nova Shopping Center main entrance, is projected to be at or near the
level of service which fails to meet the adopted threshold standard. These
intersections will need close monitoring to ensure conformance with the threshold
standard is maintained.

TRAFFIC
It should be noted that the projected daily traffic volumes in the ECVTPP update
may exceed those shown in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. This is
due to enhanced geometries at intersections which reflect the functional capacity of
roads as opposed to the planning level of analysis performed in the General Plan.
The Circulation Element Level of Service C volumes are generalized in nature and
do not incorporate the special enhancements(such as additional turning lanes) at key
intersections throughout the City.
The second test of the roadway system used the phasing projections provided by the
development community regardless of the level of entitlement received. The
existing roadway conditions and programmed improvements contained in the
conditions of approval for these projects as well as the Capital Improvement Budget
improvements were incorporated in the roadway network. The SANDAG 1995
Series 7 land use forecast and street network assumptions were used for areas
outside of the City of Chula Vista.
Travel forecasts were performed for the years 1994 and 1995 based on developer
supplied phasing assumptions. Both of these forecasts assumed Otay Ranch
development of the western parcel which is south of Telegraph Canyon Road based
upon their submitted development application.
The 1994 forecast projects a potential failure at East H Street I Hidden Vista I Terra
Nova Shopping Center main entrance. The forecast identifies this intersection to
be at or near the threshold standard. Close monitoring is needed to ensure
conformance with the threshold standard. The 1995 forecast again projected the
same potential problem at East H Street I Hidden Vista I Terra Nova Shopping
Center main entrance as well as projecting that Telegraph Canyon Road I Crest
Drive I Oleander Avenue and East Orange Avenue I Oleander Avenue will both fail
to meet the adopted performance standard.
Additional Network Testinl!
Additionally, an interim four lane at grade expressway facility for State Route 125
from East Orange Avenue north to State Route 54 was tested to determine if it
would relieve the traffic congestion identified in both earlier roadway tests. This
improvement included signalized intersections with standard configurations at East
Orange Avenue, Telegraph Canyon Road, East H Street, San Miguel Road and an
interchange at State Route 54.
In summary, an interim facility along State Route 125, as described above, would
not provide mitigation in either case for the overall roadway network. In this
configuration, State Route 125 does relieve some traffic congestion near Interstate
805, however, due to the attractiveness of this facility a large volume of traffic is
10-25-91
3-18
City of ChuIa Vista
Growth Management Program
lq../.~
TRAFFIC
shifted away from other roadway facilities. The shifting of this traffic volume
creates a failure to maintain compliance with the threshold standard at the at-grade
intersections along State Route 125.
3.2.6 Summary and Recommendations
Presently, the circulation system is working in conformance with the threshold
standard. Those initial improvements identified in the original ECVTPP are being
planned and constructed.
The original ECVTPP projected that by increment 5 , (or 9,100 dwelling units, 172
acres of industrial and 85 acres of commercial development), it would be necessary
to construct State Route 125 as a 4 lane freeway from Telegraph Canyon Road,
north, to State Route 54.
The update to the ECVTPP is projecting that, based upon demands generated from
projects with approved final and tentative subdivision maps, the total traffic
generation is approaching the threshold requirement for State Route 125. The
threshold for the construction of SR 125 which was first presented in the original
ECVTPP has been validated as part of the update to the original study.
A review of the proposed development which will take place prior to the need for
State Route 125 and the fees which are to be collected for circulation improvements
from these projects indicates that insufficient funds will be available to make the
necessary State Route 125 improvements.
It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to undertake a specific study
to determine the appropriate improvements required to be made in the State Route
125 corridor and to present to the City Council for adoption a guaranteed funding
program for these improvements which also resolves the construction timing issues.
The study will focus on identifying whether an interim facility could be constructed
which would meet the threshold standard and be financially feasible prior to the
construction of the ultimate State Route 125 facility. An interim facility may
include enhanced geometrics at various at-grade intersections, such as additional
through lanes, free right turn lanes, dual left turn lanes or some combination of
these types of enhancements. The study will also consider the effects of providing
connections to various roadway segments such as East Orange Avenue. A
consideration for financing of this improvement will include the toll road privat-
ization concept.

EXCERPT FROM MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF 10/9/91
ITEM 1:
PCM-92-08: AMEND GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION
ORDINANCE NO. 2448 - City Initiated
Contract Planner Bud Gray stated the proposal before the Commission was an amendment to the
City's adopted Growth Management Implementation Ordinance which contains 11 threshold
standards that Council adopted in 1987. During last year's review of the threshold standards,
the Growth Management Oversight Commission received a study from the Engineering
Department relating to a better technique of measuring traffic congestion at intersections.
Presently, the City uses the Intersection Capacity Utilization method, and the proposal was to
substitute the Highway Capacity Manual method which is a more modem technique of measuring
traffic congestion from the perspective of the motorists rather than from a theoretical
perspective.
Mr. Gray stated that the proposal also transferred to the Economic Development Commission
the economic portion of the economic threshold standard and renamed the threshold standard to
"fiscal" threshold standard. The new standard would contain an annual fiscal report and an
annual development impact fee report.
He stated the above changes would be made to the two threshold standards in three documents:
the Growth Management Ordinance, the Growth Management Program, and the Council's
threshold standards policy document.
Commissioner Martin asked if there were any fiscal impacts to the City, any grants or money
awarded to the City on studies previously done regarding traffic. Mr. Gray answered that any
new studies the City may do would be done by using the HCM method. It would not impact
any studies already done. To his knowledge, there was no financial loss incurred by this
change.
Traffic Engineer Rosenberg noted that from $60,000 to $80,000 is budgeted annually to perform
a traffic monitoring program study where all the intersections throughout the City are analyzed.
It is believed that the new process will provide a cost savings to the City because of the different
methodology to be employed.
In answer to Commissioner Martin's query, regarding the economic threshold standard,
Mr. Gray said the economic component was being transferred from the Growth Management
Oversight Commission purview to the Economic Development Commission. The City would
not be losing an overview function of the economic health of the City; it would just be carried
out by a different Commission.
Commissioner Decker noted that anything would be an improvement over the old traffic
methodology.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 20
Meeting Date 11/5/91
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Regarding Business License
Tax Rates
SUBMITTED BY:
Director of Finan~tf
Revenue Manager~.
City Manage~ (4/5ths Vote Yes__ No-X)
REVIEWED BY:
On October 25, 1990, the City Council approved a business
license tax increase to be phased in over a three year
period starting with 1991. Table 1 shows the current
business license tax rates and scheduled increases as
approved by the Council in Ordinance No. 2408.
The Council also approved a procedure for annual public
hearings commencing with the 1992 rates. Today's public
hearing offers Council the opportunity to review and discuss
the second year of the scheduled three year increase in
business license taxes and to receive comments from
representatives of the business community.
As noted in the City Manager's budget message, the FY 1991-
92 adopted City budget assumed implementation of the
scheduled second year business license tax adjustment with a
resulting $146,750 in additional revenue.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council conduct the public hearing but
take no action to abate (see option below) implementation of
the scheduled (reference Table 1) business license tax rate
increase to be effective January 1, 1992.
option - In accordance with Ordinance 2408, Council is
authorized, for no more than one calendar year, to lower or
abate the scheduled business license tax rate, but to no
less than the tax rate in the 1991 calendar year.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
Current Economv
Although the current national economy would seem to argue
against a business license tax increase, there is some
evidence that the local business environment has weathered
the recession much better than other cities across the State
and in San Diego county. using sales tax revenue as one
barometer, Chula vista's sales tax revenues have increased
'J.D -I
PAGE 2, ITEM J.1J
MEETING DATE 11/5/91
in spite of the national recession. In FY 1990-91 the
City's sales tax revenues were $11,808,279 an increase of
8.2% over FY 1989-90.
In terms of number of businesses, the City currently has
6,697 businesses on record versus 6,661 a year ago in
October 1990.
It is recognized that some parts of the economy have not
fared as well, such as tourism and the city's Transient
Occupancy Tax 1 revenue, but Chula vista's overall sales tax
base seems relatively strong when compared with other cities
and the problems they are facing because of the recession
and decreasing sales tax revenues.
So, in light of Council's policy decision last year to phase
in the business license tax increase, staff's recommendation
is consistent with that policy direction. On the other
hand, if Council's evaluation of the impact of the economy
on business is not as optimistic as the above description,
and the following discussion, there is an option built into
Ordinance 2408 for Council to set the rate at or in between
the current rate and the second year increase.
Summarv of 1990 Staff Reoort and Recommendations
In June 1990 staff submitted a supplemental budget memo and
report to Council (Attachment 1) providing a detailed review
of the city's business license tax rates and revenues. This
review was one of a number of steps being undertaken by
staff to review and enhance the City's revenue base,
especially with regards to funding to be used for general
city services. The report showed that city business license
tax revenues have lagged significantly behind inflation and
have provided a declining level of support for general city
services. It also found that the city of Chula vista's
business license rates and revenues were substantially lower
than other comparable cities state-wide and within San Diego
county.
After presenting the original report staff received input
and feedback from various groups in the business community.
The business community indicated a preference to retain the
current rate structure rather than the alternate rate
structure (gross receipts) proposed in the staff report.
Based on these discussions, staff modified its
recommendation to retain the current rate structure and
phase in the rate increase over a two year period. The
recommended rate was set at a level which would result in
roughly equivalent revenue to that estimated under the
proposed alternate rate structure. This recommendation was
1 As you will see in the following public hearing, an increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax
is not being recommended.

supported by the Chamber of Commerce and was presented to
Council on October 16, 1990 for the first reading and
October 25 for the second reading (Attachment 2). On
October 25, 1990, Council passed the ordinance supported by
the Chamber, with the modifications of extending the phase
in period from two to three years and including a procedure
for annual public hearings commencing with the 1992 rates.
In 1990, when the report was written, general business
license tax rates had not been increased since 1978. In
1954 the general business license tax rate was set at $12.50
plus $3 per employee. In 1978, 24 years later the basic
rate was increased to $25 plus the same $3 per employee.
During this same time period the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
and the cost of providing general city services increased at
a much higher rate.
o Since November 1954 the CPI increased 386%, while the
average cost for a Chula vista business license
increased only 46%. From 1978 to 1989 the CPI
increased by 121%, while the cost of an average
business license did not increase at all.
o In FY 1954-55 business license revenues supported 6.3%
of the City's general operating budget. In FY 1978-79
support dropped to only 1.8%. By FY 1989-90 business
license revenues supported less than 1% of general
services.
o Between FY 1954-55 and FY 1989-90 City expenditures for
police services rose sharply, as seen by a 7,871%
increase in the Police Department's budget. During
this same period business license revenue rose only
817%. From FY 1978-79 to FY 1989-90 police
expenditures rose 314%, with business license revenues
increasing only 86%.
The report also compared the City of Chula Vista's business
license revenue and rates to that of other comparable size
cities throughout the state (100,000-150,000 population in
FY 1987-88) and larger cities (over 50,000 population in FY
1987-88) within San Diego County. The report looked at
three comparison measures: 1) percentage of general fund
revenues generated by business licenses, 2) business
license revenue generated per capita, and 3) average cost
of a business license for different size businesses. As
detailed below, business license tax revenues in Chula vista
were significantly lower than the comparison cities. These
low revenues were primarily a result of the city's low
business license rates.
Ai> . '"
PAGE 4, ITEM 2/)
MEETING DATE 11/5/91
Percentaqe of General Fund Revenues
A Ralph Anderson and Associates survey showed that business
license revenues of California Charter cities averaged 5.8%
of General Fund revenues in FY 1987-88. In FY 1987-88 Chula
vistas business license revenues represented only 1.29% of
general revenues, tenth lowest among the 78 charter cities.
By FY 1988-89 Chula vista's business license revenues had
declined further, representing only 0.9% of general
revenues. According to the survey, only 11% of all
California cities received less than 1% of their general
revenue from business licenses.
Per Capita
Chula vista's business license revenues were also low when
compared on a per capita basis. Among the 18 similar sized
cities in California, Chula vista generated the second
lowest business license revenue per capita. Chula vista's
business license revenues were also low compared to other
San Diego County cities. Among the ten cities within the
County with populations of 50,000 or more (as of FY 1987-88)
Chula vista received the second lowest business license
revenue per capita.
Averaqe Cost of a Business License
The report also reviewed business license rate structures
employed by comparison cities and compared the average cost
of a license for various sized businesses. Since the
majority of cities used gross receipts rather than the
employee-based rate structure used by Chula Vista, an
analysis was conducted to estimate the average number of
employees for various levels of gross receipts. Rate
comparisons were made for five retail business categories,
based on a range of gross receipts or equivalent number of
employees, based on each jurisdictions business license rate
schedule. This comparison found that Chula vista's business
license rates were among the lowest among similar-sized
cities throughout California as well as cities within San
Diego County. On the state wide level Chula vista's rates
were second lowest among the 18 state-wide comparison
cities, and third lowest among the ten San Diego County
comparison cities.
For example, for a business with gross receipts of $100,000-
$200,000 (5.5 employees) the cost of a business license
ranged for $20 to $311 among the state-wide comparison
cities and from $25 to $111 among the County comparison
cities. Chula vista's average rate of $42 was only 33%
~-i/
PAGE 5, ITEM ;U;
MEETING DATE 11/5/91
of the average rate of $127 charged by state-wide comparison
cities and 63% of the average rate of $67 charged by County
comparison cities. As a business' gross receipts and number
of employees increased, Chula vista's rates were
progressively lower when compared to other cities.
Rate structure
The report also examined Chula vista's business license rate
structure. For general businesses, Chula vista's rate
schedule charges a basic flat rate for all businesses of a
given type and an additional variable rate based on the
number of employees. A review of comparison cities'
business license rate structures indicated that 14 of 17
comparison cities in California and five of nine comparison
cities in San Diego County had rate structures based solely
or primarily on gross receipts.
A review of various rate structure alternatives led staff to
believe that a gross receipt-based rate structure was more
preferable than an employee-based rate structure. Gross
receipts based rates are self adjusting for inflation, and
thus will generally result in revenues remaining
proportional to city expenses over time. Gross receipts-
based rate structures are also more sensitive to an
individual business' economic condition, since each year's
rate mirrors the individual business' annual performance.
Based on the aforementioned analyses and comparisons, last
year's staff report presented two major recommendations: 1)
Business license rates in the City of Chula vista should be
raised to be more comparable with past years support of
general fund services and more comparable with rates of
other San Diego County cities; and 2) Chula vista's rate
structure should be altered to be gross receipts-based
rather than employee-based.
After presenting the initial report staff received input
from various groups in the business community concerning the
recommendations contained in the report, specifically a
change to a gross receipts based tax. After meeting with
the business community, although there were mixed opinions,
the predominant opinion was to retain the per employee rate
structure due to privacy concerns. In response to these
concerns staff revised the recommendation in the initial
report to:
o Retain the existing employee-based rate structure,
adjusting it to generate approximately equivalent
revenue that would have been received under the
initially proposed gross receipts rate structure.
In conjunction with this change, rates for
professionals and manufacturers were raised
proportionally to the existing rate structure.
f.D -s
PAGE 6, ITEM ;2t1
MEETING DATE 11/5/91
o Phase in the increase over a two year period.
o Delay any inflationary increases until the third
year.
o Provide a lower flat rate for new small (5 or
fewer employees) businesses during their first
year of operation.
o Established a maximum annual business license tax
to be paid by any single business.
Adoption of Existinq Business License Ordinance
On October 16 (first reading) and October 25, 1990 (second
reading) Council was presented with six options for
increasing the business license rates, with staff
recommending the option outlined above which was endorsed by
the Chamber of Commerce Executive Board (Attachment 2). On
October 25, 1990 Council passed option E of Ordinance 2408.
The rate increases provided for by this ordinance are shown
in Table 1. Major ordinance provisions included:
o A three year, rather than two year, phase in of
the recommended increase, with 50% of the increase
occurring in 1991, 75% of the increase occurring
in 1992, and 100% of the increase occurring in
1993.
o A lower, fixed first year rate for new small
businesses (5 or fewer employees) .
o A six percent annual growth rate in 1994 and
thereafter.
o Annual abatement hearing procedures are provided,
commencing for the 1992 rates at which time
Council may set lower rates, with the 1991 rates
being the floor.
o setting a maximum tax that any single business
would have to pay in a calendar year. Maximum
amount is $7,000 in 1991 and $12,000 in 1992.
Current Status of Business License Revenues and Rates
Allowing the business license rates to increase as shown on
Table 1, would enable the City to meet the revenue estimates
included in the current budget. The scheduled increase
would also bring business license revenues more in line with
what they were in previous years (as a percentage of total
general fund revenues) and in comparison with other
comparable cities.
~.~
PAGE 7, ITEM
MEETING DATE
~
11/5/91
Increasing the business license tax to the scheduled 1992
rates would bring business license revenue almost up to the
level they were in 1979, in terms of support provided to
general city services. As mentioned earlier business
license revenues supported 6.3% of the City's general
operating budget in FY 1954-55. By 1978-79 the level of
support had dropped to 1.8%. By FY 1989-90 business license
revenues supported less than 1% of the City's general
operating budget. In FY 1987-88 the average level of
support among California charter cities was 5.8%. The
initial rate increase in FY 1990-91 brought the level of
support up to 1.4%. If the scheduled increase is
implemented the level of support will reach 1.7%, a bit
lower than 1978 levels.
During the time between June 1990 when the original staff
report on the business license tax was submitted and now,
other cities used for comparison in the report have also
increased their rates further. Table 2 shows a comparison
between Chula vista's current rates, scheduled rates, and
other County cities' rates for general businesses as of
January 1992. Since June of 1990 all of the comparison
cities have maintained the same rate, with the exception of
the city of San Diego which has increased their rate
substantially. As seen in Table 2, the Chula vista's
scheduled rate increase will place Chula vista's rates near
the average in San Diego county.
Table 3 shows Chula vista's current and scheduled business
license rates in comparison to the rates charged by
comparable-sized cities in California. Since the report was
written in 1990, 8 of the 17 comparison cities have raised
their business license rates. Both the current and
scheduled 1992 rates for Chula Vista are substantially below
the average rates in similar size cities in California.

FISCAL IMPACT:
As pointed out in the city Manager's FY 1991-92 budget
message, the scheduled rate increase is expected to generate
additional business license revenues in the amount of
$146,750. This revenue has been included in the current
budget's revenue estimates. An action to abate the increase
would result in an estimated revenue reduction of $146,750
in the current fiscal year.

Dear City Council:
The Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce is ~ concerned about your
plans to implement phase two of your three-phase business license
increase plan.
We believe that now, due to the state of our economy, is not the time to
increase fees. We support the quality of life in our city and we know
there are high financial responsibilities in running the city, but we
must be realistic about adding any new financial burdens on our
businesses at this time.
Join with the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce and show your
support for our businesses by deferring any increases for one year or
until economic indicators show improvements.
The Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce is always willing to work with
the city to improve its financial well-being. Please feel free to contact
us if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely yours,
/L~ t tS.t/!e
df~es E. Biddle
President, Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce

Public Hearing for the Purpose of considering
Abatement of the Transient Occupancy Tax
Resolution II#~O~ Approving Abatement of the
Transient Occupancy Tax From a Rate of Ten Percent
to Eight Percent for Calendar Year 1992
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance "'I
REVIEWED BY: City Manage~ (4/5THS Vote: Yes___No-X-)
At its meeting of October 25, 1990, the city Council adopted
Ordinance No. 2407, Option 1, amending the Municipal Code regarding
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by establishing a maximum TOT rate of
ten percent and providing for annual abatement hearings at which
time the maximum tax could be lowered.
ITEM TITLE:
At its meeting of November 20, 1990, the city Council held the
first abatement hearing and set a TOT rate of eight percent for
calendar year 1991, the same rate it has been since 1978.
The purpose of tonight's action is to hold the second annual
abatement hearing and to consider reduction of the TOT rate from
ten percent to eight percent.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt the Resolution maintaining the TOT rate at eight
percent.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
As highlighted in the City Manager's FY 1991-92 Budget
presentation, the structure of municipal revenue is an increaslng
problem for Chula vista and all other cities. While the property
tax and sales tax revenues normally increase at a rate reflecting
economic activity in the community, a number of other revenue
sources are either "flat" or actually decrease. Accordingly, the
City's overall revenue base does not keep up with the expenditures,
resulting in a constant search for ways of providing services more
efficiently and less costly, as well as ways to increase revenues.
The City has come to rely to some extent on one time windfall
revenues, or on going revenues from special funds to pay for
general city operations. In order to address the structural
insufficiency in the municipal revenue base, the City has made
efforts in the past two years to identify additional revenue

Meeting Date 11/05/91
possibilities, as well as taking steps to make overall operations
more efficient. One outgrowth of these efforts was to bring the
business license tax rates more in line with other cities through
a three year phase-in of rate increases.
The City Council also agreed last year to increase the Transient
Occupancy Tax from eight percent to ten percent, but held the
increase in abeyance given the economic situation at the time, with
the idea that an economic recovery might warrant an increase in TOT
this year. Unfortunately, the current economic environment has
even worsened from last year. There is some indication that the
motel occupancy rate has declined over the past several months
because of the recession and overbuilding in San Diego. In FY
1990-91, the City's actual TOT revenue declined (slightly) for the
second year in a row. Many economists are now predicting
California to begin pulling out of the recession in late 1992.
During the FY 1991-92 budget process, staff indicated that
consideration should be given to 1ncreasing the TOT rate to
coincide with the America's Cup Event which is January through June
1992. In light of the above discussion of the current economy and
because it appears that the America's Cup will not be the economic
boon previously anticipated, staff is recommending that the TOT be
maintained at its current rate of eight percent.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By keeping the current TOT rate, the ci ty' s TOT revenue is
anticipated to be approximately $1.2 million which is about the
same as last fiscal year.

Re: AI; ENDA ITEM 21 Abatement of the Transient Occupancy Tax
Honorable Mayor and Council Members.
I am writing this letter in support of staff recomendations to keep the T.O.Tax rate at 8
%. I would be speaking to you in person but prior family plans prevent me from being
here.
There arc 3 main reasons why we feel the T,O,Tax should remain at 8 %.
First, the tax is a percentage of revenue. As room or campsite revenues increase. the
tax revenue increases, While it is true that the tax rate hasn't increased in many years.
revenue from the tax has increased substantially and will continue to keep pace as rates
and the number of room or campsites increases,
Second, I think that the council has a duty to treat a tax of this nature in a very
conservative and responsible manner since those who are being taxed have no say in
electing the decision makers, thus violating one of the principles our country was created
on.
Third, from a campground / RV park perspective we compete for business both locally and
nationally. Campers are very price consious and simply vote with their feet when prices
are percieved as being to high, Most people don't complain when the T,O,Tax rate is at
or near the Sales Tax rates for other goods and services in the area. They would be
justified in feeling they aro being forced to pay a disporportinate share of the load with
a 10 % tax rate. A high rate coupled with generally higher campsite rates in the San
Diego area will only discourage people from staying or returning.
We belive that the City Staff's recomendation is prudent for the long term outlook and
hope you will agree to leave the T,O.Tax at 8 %.
Sincerely,
~el~es.

ITEM TITLE
Report -- Police Initiated Vehicle Tows; review of appropriate
number of tow companies to retain under contract at conclusion of
existing three year agreements.
SUBMITTED BY
Acting Chief of pOlicey
City Manager j~(, (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
Referral No. 2129
REVIEWED BY
Currently the City contracts with five companies to provide Police initiated vehicle tows:
Anthony's, Arnold's, Glenview, Paxton and South Bay. These towing services are provided
under separate but identical three year agreements executed in October, 1989. At it's meeting
of March 28, 1989, Council directed the Police Chief to hold these companies to improved
response time, upgraded equipment, directed abandoned vehicle abatement and performance
standards; and, to drop from this towing referral list any companies unable or unwilling to meet
these new standards. The Chiefreturned to Council on June 13, 1989, with a report indicating
that all five companies had, some at significant expense, agreed to meet the new standards, and,
that the Department would ensure their compliance with the amended standards. Council last
visited this issue in September, 1990, in response to a written communication requesting that the
towing referral list be expanded. On September 18, 1990, Council approved two staff
recommendations: one) that no additional tow companies be added to the list at that time; and,
two) that the issue be reviewed again prior to expiration of the current operating agreements.
This agenda item is intended to provide Council with such a review.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon expiration of the current operating agreements, continue to retain five (5) tow companies.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
This review will focus primarily on three issues: the purpose of a such a program; issues
inherent in expanding and (if necessary at a later date) reducing the number of companies on the
referral list; and, general staff concerns.
~Z-J
Page 2
Item 2 Z
MPf'lillg Date 11/05/91
The purpose for having a towing referral list is to provide fast, efficient emergency and
abandoned vehicle tow services on an as-needed basis. Long response times to emergency tow
requests adversely impact Police Officer's ability to return to active duty. Emergency referrals
include accidents, arrests and other calls for service where vehicles are involved and are, for any
number of reasons, unable to be moved to the appropriate location without Police intervention.
Each company on the referral list is granted an approximately equal share of the emergency
referrals each month through a first called rotation. During a typical month, each company is
at the top of the list for six days. Additionally, each company has agreed to provide up to ten
abandoned vehicle abatements per day for each day they are first up on the referral list ( each
company is first up appoximately six days per month). Abandoned vehicles can be identified
by Police Officers, Code Enforcement Officers of the Building and Housing Department or
citizens. In any case, these five companies abate abandoned vehicles at no cost to the City as
part of the towing program.
Expanding and reducing the referral list presents several issues. Initially, the number of
companies which can provide the services and still make a reasonable profit must be estimated.
If too few companies are employed, City initiated tow business is not appropriately distributed
and profit is high. Should too many firms be retained, the City's business is not profitable to
any of the firms and quality of service inevitably suffers. Staff must also identify the method
to be used in evaluating a tow company's ability to provide the services required. In the present
case, companies on the previous referral list were asked to meet enhanced minimum
qualifications (most incurring significant costs to do so). A Request for Proposal methodology
has also been used successfully by other jurisdictions in the County. Additionally, contingencies
must be provided in case the number of Police initiated tows falls below that previously
identified level where all firms can continue to profitably provide the required services.
Determining the method to eliminate firms from the list is problematic. For example, what
decrease in Police initiated tows triggers a list reduction (that previously identified level or
something below it) and what technique is used to determine which, and in what order,
companies are eliminated from the rotation (first in/first out, last in/first out or random)? While
firms might drop out of their own volition, this strategy would benefit larger, or more
established, operations better able to absorb business segment operating losses.
As stated in previous communications on this subject, the Police Department's main concern is
that tow companies provide quality service for our officers and citizens. Staff is not convinced
that adding additional tow companies would enhance the quality of tow services. Response times
have been, in the main, within contractual guidelines, and, while there have been occasional
complaints regarding each of the companies, performance continues to be satisfactory. Staff is
sensitive to businesses, especially those owned by Chula Vista residents, which would like to
be included on the referral list, however, the number of Police initiated tows has been relatively
constant over the past three years:

Companies currently under contract have averaged approximately 726 tows per year (or 60 per
month) over the past three years. Adding a sixth company would reduce that average 17.4%
to about 600 per year. Without a significant increase in the number of Police initiated tows, and
in the absence of any other quality/performance issues, Staff does not believe that a
recommendation to increase the number of companies on the towing referral list is indicated.
FISCAL IMPACT: None

Referral I 2106-- --
At the August 28,1990 Council meeting the Council
received a written communication from Mr. Casey Jones
requesting tha~ he be added to the existing Police
Emergency Towing Referral list. Staff was directed by
Council to research the issue and present the pros and
cons of adding additional tow companies to th~ emergency
tow referral list.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add any additional tow companies
at this time, however recommend reviewing this issue when
the existing agreements expire in October of 1992.

These companies include:

As part of this new contract each company was required to

company to monitor each company and conduct periodic
inspections. To date the Department is satisfied with the
quality of service provided by all five companies.
While the Department recognizes the merit of helping a
Chula Vista resident to start his own business, in this
circumstance we do not believe that there is sufficient
information indicating that a change in the current status
of the tow list would be of benefit to the City.
Council also requested clarification of the ownership and
the primary business location of the existing 5 tow
companies. As you will note in this chart the existing
five companies all operate in Chula Vista and are owned
and operated by Chula Vista or Bonita residents, except in
one case.

PROS AND CONS OF ADDING ADDITIONAL TOW COMPANIES
Pros
* Additional tow companies will have an opportunity to
participate in the emergency towing service.
Cons
* The City negotiated in good faith with the existing
five companies and has indicated that they will be the
providers of tow service until October of 1992.
* Adding one or more additional tow companies will not

improve the quality of the emergency towing service in
Chula Vista.
* Adding any additional tow companies will reduce the
amount of revenue each tow company receives. With the
goal of providing the best service to Chula Vista we
believe that further dividing of the "revenue pie" would
tend to reduce the responsiveness of the tow companies
to the requests of the City.
* Additional staff time would

If Council elects to add any additional tow companies,
this can be accomplished by Council Resolution. The five
existing companies were selected by Council Resolution and
the City Attorney has advised staff that there is no legal
restriction to increasing the number of tow companies on

At the March 28, 1989, City Council meeting, Council was presented with a
report recommending the revision of the process with which tow companies are
selected. That report recommended initiating an RFP process to select the
three most qual ified. tow companies, in addition to making the qual ifications
more stringent. Council directed staff to return with an amended ordinance
requiring higher standards and to keep the existing five companies rather than
going to a RFP process.
REVIEWED BY:
City Manager
REClMENDATION:
1. Place on first reading.
2. Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/ClMlISSIQNS REClMlENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The existing policy for Police-initiated tows allows any tow cOlIIDany meeting
the minimum qualifications to be placed on the active list at any time. Each
company is then granted thei r equal share of emergency referral s for a
specific number of days each month. The resulting effect on the tow companies
when a new company is added is a reduction in the "'Jaber of days per month
that the tow company gets referral s. For tow companies that rely to a great
extent on police business, each additional tow company added to the list means
a reduction in their business and profits.
The Police Department's main concern is that the tow companies provide quality
service for our officers and citizens. If a tow company consistently has long
response times, this affects the Ponce Officer's ability to return to active
patrol, since they must wait for the tow truck to arrive to clean up an area
after an accident. In addition, a driver with limited understanding of their
equipment can mean additional damage to a citizen's vehicle.

Proposed High Qualifications Requirements
By implementing the fOllowing higher standards and hOlding the tow cOlllllanies
accountable for maintaining those standards, the department believes that the
service provided will also improve. The existing five tow companies
recommended implementing the higher standards and have agreed to the proposed
changes listed below.
The higher qualifications proposed for the new agreement are basically an
enhancement of the existing min111lU111 qualifications- found in the existing
agreement.
The following are the major proposed revisions to the current agreement:
1. Response Time
Current Agreement
20 minute response time
Proposed Agreement
20 minute average response time
not to exceed 40 minutes. Tow
companies to illlllediately notify
police dispatch if they will not
arrive within the 20 minute
response, tow companies will give
a revised E. T .A. or recommend
calling another company if
response will be delayed beyond 40
minutes.
2. Equipment Requirement
Current Agreement
Two twin boom trucks, 10.000
gross vehicle weight (GVW)
with dual rear wheels.
Proposed Agreement
The following four (4) trucks are
required as a minimum:
1 wheel lift - 14500 GYW
1 roll-back - 14500 GVII
1 twin cable/boOlll - 1 ton or above
1 ~draulic bOOM - 1 ton or above

4. Positive Citizen/Police Relations
Current Agreement
None
Proposed Agreement
Good reputation for dealing with
the public. Tow company may be
removed from the active list IS a
result of excessive citizen and/or
police complaints.
5. Abandoned Vehicles
Current Agreement
The on-duty tow company will tow
at least five abandoned vehicles
each day (Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at no
cost to the City.
Ordinance Amendments
Chapter 5.58 of the Municipal Code rel ated to tow trucks is proposed to be
amended. The changes include:
Proposed Agreement
The on-duty tow company will tow
up to ten abandoned vehicles
each day (Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at no
cost to the City.
Section 5.58.030 Regulations Generally.
Cl ar1fication of language and removing the liability for damages issue
which will be addressed in new Section 5.58.075.
Section 5.58.070 Insurance Required.
Section 5.58.080 Bond Required.
Both sections are recommended to be deleted from the Code. Since the
requirement levels for bonds and insurance fluctuate, it is more
appropn ate to refer to these requi rements in the contract that they
may be easily revised as necessary.
Section 5.58.075 Indemnification and Hold Harmless, Insurance, and Bond
Requirements
Any agreement to provide tow service shall include a hold harmless
clause and bond and insurance requirements IS required by City Risk
Manager and City Attorney.
Recommendation
The Department will evaluate the existing five companies to insure that they
meet the proposed requirement. Should any of the five fail to meet these new
standards we will not enter into an agreement with them. In order to select a
7Z' I'

replacement company we will notify all licensed tow companies in San Diego
County. In fact. we currently have a list of cOlllpanies who have expressed
interest in the contract who appear to meet the qualifications. The Police
Department would evaluate any appl icants to determine the most qualified
replacements. The final five companies selected will be subject to stricter
qualifications and will be closely monitored to ensure that they continue to
meet the terms of their contract.
The Department believes that by impll!111enting the proposed chanqes in this
program. the result w111 be more efficient and effective tow service for the
police officers and the citizens.
FISCAL III'ACT: No change is recommended for the current tow rate fee
schedule. In the past. changes in the rates have been made only after staff
has analyzed requests from the tow companies and presented a recommendation to
the Council.

Request For Proposal
The Police Department belie~es this RFP is the most effective way to improve
the quality of service from tow companies. By selecting the top three
companies for an exclusive contract; we believe the companies have a greater
incenti ve to provide and maintain quality service and will be much more
willing to work with us to alleviate the abandoned vehicle problem.
Proposed Agreement
The on-duty tow company will tow
up to ten abandoned vehicles
each day (Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at no
cost to the Ci ty.
The process itself shall consist of several steps. First, the RFP will be
distributed to all licensed tow companies in San Diego County and also
available at the Chu1a Vista Police Department.
There will be an optional pre-bid conference where any interested companies
may ask questions about the RFP. The companies will be given a minimum of 30
days in which to prepare their proposals. The due date will be listed on the
RFP and rei terated at the prebid conference. Any proposal returned after the
due date will be time stamped and returned unopened to the proposer.
The proposal will provide general infonnation on the tow company, including
ownership, location, company history, ,employees, vehicles, communication
equipment, proof of insurance and business 1 icenses. It will be used to
screen qualified from unqualified candidates. Those proposers who are deemed

Safety. Panel members shall include persons outside the City of Chula Vista

.interview, site visit and inspection and review of their references shall be
recommended for an excl usi ve three-year contract. This contract shall also
have a two-year option to renew for a possible total of five years.
Ordinance Amendments
Chapter 5.58 of the Municipal Code related to tow trucks is proposed to be
amended. The changes include:
Section 5.58.030 Regulations Generally.
Addition of requirement for an RFP process to select the tow
companies to receive emergency police referrals.
Section 5.58.070 Insurance Required.
Section 5.58.080 Bond Required.
Both sections are recommended to be deleted from the Code: Since the
requirement levels for bonds and insurance fluctuate, it is more
appropriate to refer to these requirements in the contract and/or RFP
so that they may be easily revised as necessary.
Section 5.58.075 . Indemnification and Hold Harmless, Insurance, and Bond
Requirements
Any agreement to provide tow service shall include a hold harmless
cl ause and bond and insurance requi rements as requi red by Ci ty Risk
Manager and City Attorney.
Recommendation
The Department is recommending that an RFP process be instituted to select tow
companies to receive police emergency tow referrals. The number of tow
companies is proposed to be limited to three, and long term exclusive contract
established with the three companies. The companies selected will be subject
to stricter qUlnfications and will be closely monitored to ensure that they
continue to meet the terms of their contract. The Municipal Code is also
recommended for revision in accordance with the other proposed changes.
The Department believes that by implementing the proposed changes in this
program, the result will be more efficient and effective tow service for the
police officers and the citizens.
FISCAL IMPACT: No change is recommended for the current tow rate fee
schedule. In the past, Changes in the rates have been made only after staff
has analyzed requests from the tow companies and presented a recommendation to
the Council.
