DISCUSSION:
City staff received a petition on November 2003, initiating the formation of an Assessment
District for the construction of street improvements along First Avenue, from Naples Street to
Palomar Street. Fifty of the fifty-nine property owners within the proposed District boundaries
were in favor of the district formation. The petition complies with Section 2804 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, which requires that the petition be signed by at least 60 percent of
the areal front footage property owners. At the time the petition was received, the City was
starting the process of seeking a Section 108 loan from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development (BUD) to fund street improvements in the Castle Park neighborhood.
The loan was approved by BUD in late 2006.
City Council's Policy No. 2952, Participation in 1913 Block Act Proceedings, requires that the
City provide all engineering, inspection and administrative services, as well as paying for all
relocation and reconstruction of the existing roadway, if required. Property owners are typically
expected to pay for the cost of constructing curb, gutter, sidewalk and driveway aprons.
However, as part of the City's Western Chula Vista Infrastructure Financing Program, the City
has offered to pick up the costs of the curb, gutter, sidewalk and street improvements. The
property owners would be required to pay for the driveway aprons and the relocation of any
private improvements within the City's right-of-way. These costs are proposed to be paid by the
property owners.
City staff conducted a public meeting and met with property owners on February 28, 2007,
presenting the proposed improvements, financing mechanism, Assessment District formation
process, and distributed preliminary ballots. At that meeting, staff explained the process for
establishing assessment districts and an informal ballot was distributed to the property owners in
attendance. All property owners in attendance were in favor of the proposed Assessment District
formation. Based on the unanimous consent, the City concluded that the project had sufficient
support to warrant proceeding with the District formation process.
ImDrovements and Costs
This project consists of construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk and driveway aprons, resurfacing
and widening of the existing asphalt pavement along First Avenue between Naples Street and
Palomar Street.
Details of the cost breakdown and design considerations are included in the Preliminary
Engineer's Report (Attachment B). The report includes a copy of the proposed boundary map
and the recommended construction costs payable per property. The total project cost is
estimated to be $2,100,000, of which the property owners' share is $357,988 to cover the cost of
constructing the concrete driveways and private improvement relocations only.
Certain properties on First A venue were not included in the District. This includes properties at
various locations along First Avenue, which either already have curb, gutter and sidewalk along
their frontage or do not have any driveways. New driveway aprons will not be constructed for
any of those properties.

Future Actions
The proceedings to form Assessment District No. 2007-1 (First Avenue) are being undertaken
pursuant to the provisions of the Block Act and Article XIIm and the Omnibus Proposition 218
Implementation Act (Government Code Section 53750). The notice, hearing and protest
requirements of the Block Act, enacted long before the passage of Proposition 218 that added
Article XIIID to the California Constitution and the enactment of the Prop 218 Implementation
Act, differ in certain significant respects from the notice, protest and hearing procedures
mandated by Article XIIID. However, the Prop 218 Implementation Act, enacted to facilitate the
implementation of Article XIIID, provides that the notice, hearing and protest procedures
imposed by the Prop 218 Implementation Act supercede any statutory provisions of the Block
Act applicable to the levy of assessments pursuant to the Block Act, whether or not the
provisions of the Block Act conflict with the provisions of the Prop 218 Implementation Act.
Additionally, the Prop 218 Implementation Act provides that ifthe City complies with the notice,
protest and hearing requirements of the Prop 218 Implementation Act, the City shall not be
required to comply with the statutory notice, protest and hearing requirements that would
otherwise be applicable to the levy of assessments pursuant to the Block Act. Consequently, the
procedures proposed to be implemented to consider the levy of assessments within Assessment
District No. 2007-1 (First Avenue) are the notice, protest and hearing procedures mandated by
the Prop 218 Implementation Act.
Council is requested to adopt the above resolutions to, among other actions, order the
construction of the improvements, set the time and place for a public hearing regarding the
construction of the improvements, and order the initiation of assessment ballot proceedings in
accordance with Article XIIID in conjunction with said public hearing. If the resolution is
adopted, staff will mail notices of the public hearing, together with assessment ballots, to all
property owners at least 45 days in advance of the public hearing, which will be held on
September 11, 2007. At the public hearing, property owners may present objections to the
proposed work in accordance with Section 5132 of the California Streets and Highway Code and
show cause why the proposed work should not be carried out in accordance with the Resolution
of Intention.
Additionally, by completing and returning their assessment ballots, the property owners will
have the right to specify their support for or opposition to the levy of the assessments to finance
the construction of the driveway aprons. The property owners have the option to revise their
assessment ballots until the end of the public hearing. These assessment ballots will include the
maximum principal amount that each property owner is required to pay. If the majority of
property owners approve the levy of assessments to finance the construction of the driveway
aprons, the City Council may then order the construction work for all of the improvements to be
done and staff will complete design. It is anticipated that construction of this project will start in
the fall of this year.
Following completion of the construction of the project, the City Council will be asked to
confirm the final assessments. So long as the final assessments are equal to or less than the
assessments approved by the property owners pursuant to the assessment ballot procedure, no
further public hearing will be necessary. If, however, the final assessments exceed the
assessments approved by the property owners, it would be necessary for the City to conduct a
8-3
7/17/07, Item~
Page 4 of 4
further public hearing and assessment ballot proceeding in order to authorize the levy of the
assessments in such higher amounts.
Following confirmation of the final assessments, the property owners will have the option of
paying any portion of the assessments during the 30-day payoff period following acceptance of
improvements and confirmation of assessments. If assessments are not fully paid during that
time, the City customarily collects the unpaid balance on the tax roll over a period of ten years,
together with interest on the unpaid principal at the rate of 5.5 percent per year. Property owners
may pay the balance of their assessments at any time during the ten-year repayment period
without penalty.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed action
was adequately covered in a previously adopted Notice of Exemption. In addition the
Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the proposed action for compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A) and determined that the proposed action was
adequately covered in a previously adopted Categorical Exclusion (subject to 58.5) pursuant to
the Department of Housing & Urban Development guidelines. Thus, no further environmental
review or documentation is necessary.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of this project is estimated to be $2,100,000. It is estimated that property owners
will repay $357,988 of the cost of the project over a ten-year period. The project is funded by
the Section 108 loan. Normal maintenance activities will be required in the future.

Backe:round
First Avenue, between Naples Street and Palomar Street in Chula Vista, is a residential
street with an 80-foot width ofright-of-way and is located within the Castle Park area of
the City of Chula Vista. The Castle Park area is generally bounded by Third A venue to
the west, Hilltop Drive to the east, Naples Street to the north, and Palomar Street to the
south. Existing improvements along First A venue generally consist of asphaltic concrete
pavement with some existing curb-and-gutter improvements.
In November 2003, fifty-nine First Avenue property owners submitted a petition to the
City requesting the initiation of proceedings to form an assessment district in accordance
with the Improvement Act of 1913. This district would finance the construction of the
missing curb, gutter and sidewalk and other street improvements along First Avenue,
from Naples Street to Palomar Street.
The City currently has a policy regarding participation in 1913 Block Act proceedings.
According to this policy, the City will provide all engineering, inspection and
administrative services at no cost to the property owners. It is the City's responsibility to
relocate or replace all existing public improvements, which would be in conflict with the
new improvements, including utilities, and costs associated with construction of the curb,
gutter and sidewalk, and street reconstruction. These costs would not be assessed to the
property owners. The property owners would be responsible to pay for all costs
associated with the driveway apron construction and any costs associated with the
relocation of private improvements (only if private improvements are located in the
public right-of-way).

The improvements include reconstruction of the asphaltic concrete street, construction of
monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk, and miscellaneQus associated drainage facilities.
The sidewalk will be five feet wide and will match the existing sidewalk at the south end
of First Avenue, adjacent to Palomar Street. Where driveways are located, a driveway
apron will be constructed to provide a transition between the street, the sidewalk and the
driveways.
Several properties have trees, fences or walls, which will need to be removed, relocated
or reconstructed to construct the proposed street improvements.
Total construction cost for the project is estimated to be $1,600,000. This estimate is
based on the preliminary design. City staff costs for design, inspection and associated
soil testing are estimated to be an additional $500,000.
Method of Aooortionment
The City of Chula Vista has offered the Castle Park area property owners an incentive to
form an Assessment District for the installation of street improvements. The City would
pay for replacement of existing improvements and City staff costs related to planning,
design, surveying and construction inspection. Property owners would be required to pay
for the driveway aprons and the relocation of private improvements within the City right-
of-way. The property owners' responsibility has a total estimated cost of $357,988.
Costs must be apportioned to each property based on the area of the driveway aprons
along the property's frontage and any private improvement relocation within the City's
right-of-way. .
The breakdown of construction costs among the fifty-nine properties within the district is
shown below. For each property, the square footage of driveway apron was individually
calculated. The calculation was broken into two parts: the actual driveway and the wing
area on each side of the driveway, which provides a transition between the driveway and
the sidewalk. Several properties will also require private improvement relocation. Costs
associated with the relocations are included with the preliminary assessment.

The cost breakdown in this Engineer's Report will be reviewed after the project has been
constructed. At that time, all quantities and costs will be known and Final Assessments
can be determined. The assessment for each individual property cannot be increased
without another ballot process.
