Public Hearing to consider design review application DRC-07-o2 for the
construction of a 24,585-square foot industrial building with a 2,000-
square foot administrative office and associated site improvements at 144
27th Street in the southwest part of Chula Vista
VIA:
SUBJECT:
Project Area: Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area
Agreement: None
Developer/Applicant: Frank and Sons Paving, Inc.
Project Site: 144 27th Street
Project Type: Design Review Permit
Project Description: The proposed project consists of the construction of a 24,585-
square foot multi-tenant industrial building with a 2,OOO-square
foot administrative office and other site improvements at the site
located at the northwest corner of 27th Street and Faivre Street.
The proposed project concept plans are being presented to the
Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation for consideration and
final approval.
BACKGROUND
Several years ago, Frank and Sons Paving, Inc. (Applicant) purchased the site at 144 27th
Street in the southwest part of Chula Vista as a way to expand its paving business
operations. The site is currently undeveloped, except for the existence of a concrete slab
over the majority of the site and two carports, and it has been used in the past for a variety
2-\
Staff Report - Item No. 2
August 23, 2007
Page 2
of industriallcommercial activities. The Applicant currently uses the site for the storage of
construction equipment associated with the paving business activities. On July 12, 2006,
the Applicant submitted to the City a design review application and concept plans for the
full improvement of the site. This report describes the proposed project, provides an
analysis of the project in relation to City regulations, and provides a staff recommendation.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed application has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that it qualifies for a Class
32 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the
State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMEN DATION
That the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopt a resolution approving Design
Review (DRC-07-02), subject to the conditions of Exhibit B attached to the CVRC
Resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMEN DA TIONS
The proposed project plans were presented to the Redevelopment Advisory Committee
(RAC) for their review and public input at the meeting of October 12, 2006. While the
RAC members considered that the construction of the proposed industrial building would
be an improvement for the area, they expressed a number of concerns related to the site
and building layout and requested that the applicant consider incorporating some design
changes in addition to circulation modifications requested by city staff. Revised plans
were submitted on April 30, 2007 and, following further review by city staff, the project
was presented for a second and final RAC review on July 7, 2007. At this meeting, the
RAC members found the project plans satisfactory and recommended that they be
forwarded to the CVRC for consideration, subject to the following conditions:
1. Provide a trellis roof over the trash enclosures; and
2. Incorporate parapet walls to the buildings located at the property line.
These design recommendations have been incorporated into the project design and/or
conditions of approval.

DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the CVRC Board and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this
action.
DISCUSSION
Site and Surrounding land Use Designations
The subject property consists of two lots totaling 2.2 acres located at the northwest corner
of Faivre Street and 27th Street, south of Main Street, north of the Otay River Valley, and
west of Broadway (see attached locator map). The majority of the site is currently covered
with a concrete slab and some unimproved areas. The site lacks standard improvements,
such as sidewalks, curbs, gutters and streets cape along 27th Street and Faivre Street. The
project site is zoned Light Industrial (I-L) and has a General Plan land use designation of
limited Industrial. The uses proposed by the Applicant are permitted uses in the I-l zone.
Existing uses adjacent to the subject site are the following:
General Plan Desilmation Zonin" Desi"nation Existim! Uses

Project Description
The project proposes the construction of a new 24,585-square foot concrete shell building
for use as light manufacturing and limited warehousing space (see attached project
concept plans). The building will be divided into 11 suites, each with an approximate area
of 2,200 square feet that would be occupied by individual tenants. The building will also
include a 2,000-square foot mezzanine to serve as administrative office space for Frank
1-::)
Staff Report - Item No. ~
August 23, 2007
Page 4
and Sons Paving, Inc. The building structure is centrally located on the site and is
surrounded by parking and a driveway aisle.
The northeast corner of the site (approximately 22,669 square feet) would be used for
parking and storage of trucks and construction equipment associated with Frank and Sons
Paving, Inc operations. Two existing carport structures located along the northern property
line are proposed to be improved and relocated to the western property line of the site.
The plans also show two sets of trash enclosures, which are located next to each of the
entrance driveways.
The proposed project includes the construction of the associated site improvements, such
as access and circulation, parking, landscaping, and trash enclosures. Following is a brief
description of these improvements.
Access and Circulation
The site has access from the two streets. The proposed site plan shows one driveway
entrance on 27th Street and another on Faivre Street. The driveway on 27th Street is located
close to the north property line and the driveway along Faivre Street is located near the
west property line, putting both driveways at a significant distance from the intersection of
27th and Faivre Streets. The two driveway entrances are 30 feet wide and connect into a
24-foot driveway aisle that runs (in a U-shape) along the south, east and north parts of the
site between the parking and the building. A rolling gate located on the north leg of the
driveway aisle separates the equipment storage area from the rest of the site, and limits
access only to traffic related to the paving and equipment storage area. A short driveway
aisle is located on the north side of the building and provides access to parking located in
that area of the site.
Parking
The proposed plans call for the construction of parking along the perimeter of the site and
on the north side of the building. The total number of parking spaces provided is 72. Of
these, 46 will be for the industrial tenants that will occupy the building and for the
administrative office space; 17 spaces located along the north property line (west of the
gate) will be for regular vehicles and 9 spaces (on the northwest side of the building) for
large trucks associated with the paving and equipment storage use. The number of parking
spaces provided (72 spaces) are more than the number required (54 spaces) by the Zoning
Ordinance.
2-~
Staff Report - Item No. ~
August 23, 2007

Landscaping
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the application. The plan shows a well
balanced combination of trees (palms, sycamores, magnolias, poplars, and coral trees),
shrubs (New Zeland Flax, Bottlebrush, Honeysuckle, Indian Hawthorne, etc) and
groundcovers (Trailing Gazania and Dwarf Fescue) that will be used to landscape the site.
This landscape treatment is distributed around the perimeter of the site and around the
building. A concrete block 6-foot wall (natural and gray color) will be located along the
north and west property lines.
The two main functions of proposed landscaping are to beautify the site and to screen the
parking areas from public view, particularly the truck and equipment storage area. The
landscape plan shows approximately 11,500 square feet of landscaped area around the
site. This represents approximately 12% of the site, which is consistent with the guidelines
of the City's Landscape Manual. Final landscape and irrigation plans will be required to be
reviewed and approved by the City Landscape Planner for compliance with the City
Landscape Manual prior to issuance of building permits.
Street Improvements
As part of the development of the site, the Applicant will be required to consolidate the
two lots that currently make up the 2.2-acre site, and dedicate approximately 19 feet along
27th Street and 16 feet along Faivre Street for street widening purposes. In addition, the
Applicant will be required to construct the standard street improvements, such as
sidewalks, curbs, gutters and missing street paving in front of the subject property on 27th
and Faivre Streets.
ANALYSIS
Development Standards
The proposed multi-tenant industrial building, with the administrative office space, as well
as the proposed storage of construction equipment are permitted uses in the limited
industrial zone. Thus, the uses are consistent with the land use designations of the
General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed plans were evaluated using the Limited Industrial zone (CVMC 19.44)
development standards, as well as the guidelines of the City's Design and Landscape
Manuals. The table below details the required development standards and the proposed
project standards:

Total required: 54 spaces Total provided: 72 spaces
Building height permitted: Proposed building height:
Three and one-half stories or 45-feet Two stories or 35 feet
Building Design
The proposed building has a contemporary industrial design, using stained concrete tilt-up
panels combined with metal siding. Steel canopies will be located above the entrances to
the building suites and above the windows of the mezzanine. Rocky-gray standing-seam
metal roofing will be used on the sloping structures. The proposed building height ranges
from 20 feet to 35 feet. The mezzanine, located at the southeast corner of the building,
would be approximately 14 feet above the main one story building. Proposed colors
include blue tones with galvanized corrugated metal accents to match the roll-up doors
and details at the suite entrances. Storefront systems will be composed of black aluminum
and green-tinted glazing.
The guidelines for industrial development in the City's Design Manual are intended to:
Encourage projects which respect the character and scale of adjoining
developments, with particular attention to sites in older, mixed-use areas,
and sites which adjoin residential neighborhoods or other uses which may
be particularly sensitive to the scale and impacts of industrial development.
(CVDM p. IV-I).
J.-~
Staff Report - Item No. ~
August 23, 2007
Page 7
The proposed building represents a significant improvement for the area, which is
characterized by older, non-descript buildings that have been added without regard for
order, function or appearance. The proposed new building is consistent with the character
of an industrial area and the scale of existing buildings. The building style and use of
materials, such as concrete panels, aluminum siding, and metal roll up doors, give the
building an industrial look that is not dissimilar with the industrial character of the area.
By creating height variations throughout the structure and keeping the building to two
stories, the building stays within the scale of the surrounding structures.
Promote a functional and attractive arrangement of buildings, open spaces,
parking, circulation and loading areas which are sensitive to the physical
characteristics and constraints of the site, and which provide efficient and
pleasant places to work. (CVOM p. IV-I)
The placement of the building in the center of the site and its relationship to parking
creates a functional arrangement that provides appropriate access to the site and building
by pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The positioning of the landscape materials around the
site and around the building provide adequate screening of parked vehicles from public
view and enhance the building's architecture.
Create a high quality of architectural and landscape design, with an
emphasis on functional needs, reducing the apparent mass of large scale
buildings, and screening and buffering loading, storage and working areas
from incompatible land uses and from the public view. (CVOM p. IV-I)
The new industrial building provides a centrally located focal point for the site which does
not currently exist. The existing condition is primarily concrete paving and dirt along the
street frontage and interior of the lot. The new building would be designed with a variety
of elements along its fa<;:ade that are well articulated and create interest. The roof
articulation and height variety throughout the structure reduces the mass of a building.
The use of perforated metal canopies above the building entryways and contrasting color
combination and metal roofing provides a high quality architectural appearance.
CONCLUSION
Staff's review and analysis found that the proposed project would be consistent with the
development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and the design guidelines of the City's
Design and Landscape Manuals. Additionally, staff believes the proposed project is well
designed and will be a high quality addition to the area. The project will contribute to
removing blighting influences and improving the area. Therefore staff recommends
1.:-'\
Staff Report - Item No. -L

approval of the proposed project, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit B of the
CRVC resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed project will create an increase in assessed valuation and the Redevelopment
Agency will receive one percent of this increase as tax increment revenue. Of the one
percent, the Agency will place 20% in the low and moderate income housing fund, and
will give 20% to the County of San Diego, 7% to the Sweetwater Union High School
District, 2% to Southwestern Community College, 1 % to the San Diego County Office of
Education, and 11 % to the Chula Vista Elementary School District, leaving the Agency
approximately 39% percent of the 1 % increase in assessed valuation available for
redevelopment activities. These pass-through percentages are applicable to the Southwest
Project area only.

SUBJECT:
Public Hearing to Consider ZAV-07-08 and DRC-07-04, Building at 868
Stella Street
Project Area: Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area
Developer: Angel Gonzalez
Project Site: 868 Stella Street
Project Type: Design Review and Variance
Project Description: Small warehouse/office building on a 4,260 sq. ft. site located at
the northwest corner of Stella Street and the Palomar Street on-
ramp to Interstate 5. The project will include a two-story concrete
block building providing three parking spaces and trash storage
on the ground floor and 2,064 sq. ft. of office and warehousing
on the second.
INTRODUCTION
The Design Review application for the warehouse/office building on a 0.09 acre
triangular-shaped lot was submitted on July 20, 2006. Subsequently, it was determined
that due to the small size and unusual shape of the subject property, a variance from the
front yard setback requirement would be necessary to allow development of the site. A
variance application for encroachment into the front yard setback was submitted on July 6,
2007.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it was determined that the proposed project
qualifies for a Class 3 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Thus no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMEN DATION:
That the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopt a resolution:
1) Approving Design Review (DRC-O 7-04), subject to the list of conditions in
the CVRC Resolution; and
2) Approving Variance ZAV-07-08.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMEN DA TlONS
At its meetings of March 1 and August 2, 2007, the Redevelopment Advisory Committee
(RAC) reviewed and discussed the application for the proposed warehouse/office building
at 868 Stella Street. On March 1 the RAC considered a number of issues with the
proposed design of the building. The project was revised and resubmitted and on August
2, 2007, the RAC recommended that the structure was well-suited for the site and would
be an improvement to the area.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the CVRC Board and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this
action.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Location and Surrounding Uses
The 4,260 square foot property is located on the north side of Stella Street, immediately
west of the on-ramp from Palomar Street to the 1-5 Freeway (see Attachment 1). The
project site constitutes the area left over after the construction of the Palomar Street on-
ramp to the 1-5 Freeway.
Land uses adjacent to the project site include the on-ramp to the east, vacant land to the
north, a marine and industrial parts warehouse to the south, and a single-family residence
to the west.

2. Project Description
The proposed project consists of a two-story concrete block building, with the ground
floor used for parking for three vehicles as well as the trash enclosure (See Attachment 3).
The second floor consists of an office of 500 square feet and a 1030 square foot
warehouse.
The building is concrete block with a neutral tone of stucco and a three-foot base of rock
veneer at each of the corners. The roof is standing seam metal in the shade of 'Bristol
Blue', and there is extensive use of glazing on the second floor.
The main driveway entrance is from Stella Street on the south side of the lot, while the
point of the triangular-shaped lot is on the north side. Landscaping is provided along the
front, as well as in the rear of the building and on the east side of the parcel.
3. Development Standards
The development is in accordance with the following criteria:
Assessor's Parcel No.: 622-011-23

4. Analysis
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Chula
Vista General Plan (2005), the Zoning Ordinance and the City's Design Manual. While
the project site is within the Merged Redevelopment Project Area, the Amended and
Restated Redevelopment Plan (2004) for this Project Area defers to the City's General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance for land use authority. As described above the proposed project is
consistent with the land use designation in the General Plan and the development
standards for the zone, with the exception of the front yard setback. The proposed project
is in an area of the City in which many of the original County zoning standards still apply.
In this case, the required front yard setback is 60 feet from the centerline of the street, a
distance far greater than both similar properties throughout the City and other sites in that
area.
The guidelines for industrial development in the City's Design Manual are intended to:
Encourage projects which respect the character and scale of adjoining
developments, with particular attention to sites in older, mixed-use areas,
and sites which adjoin residential neighborhoods... (CVDM p. IV-I)
This building is sensitive to the scale of the residential development to the west. By
maintaining a height not dissimilar to most residential development, as well as concealing
the parking spaces within the ground floor of this building, the overall project is
harmonious with surrounding structures.
Create a high quality of architectural and landscape design, with an
emphasis on functional needs...and buffering loading, storage and working
areas from incompatible land uses and from the public view. (CVDM p. IV-
I)
The site plan is appropriate for the parcel and provides loading and utility areas (including
the trash enclosure) concealed below the building.
Building setbacks should be proportionate to the scale of the structures and
considerate of existing development. (CVDM p. IV-3)
By approving a Variance and providing a front yard setback of only 45 feet from the
centerline of Stella Street, the structure will match the setback provided for the residence
immediately to the west of this parcel, as well as several of the neighboring properties.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.14.030.B of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, it is
recommended that the CVRC conditionally approve a variance to encroach 15 feet into the
front yard setback, based upon the following findings of facts as required by CVMC Section
19.14.190:
That a hardship peculiar to the property and not created by any act of the
owner exists. Said hardship may include practical difficulties in developing
the property for the needs of the owner consistent with the regulations of
the zone; but in this context, personal, family or financial difficulties; loss
of prospective profits; and neighboring violations are not hardships
justifying a variance. Further, a previous variance can never have set a
precedent, for each case must be considered only on its individual merits;
This parcel is only 4,260 square feet, which is between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet
smaller than similar properties throughout the city. Due to the irregular shape and
location of the site, the proposed use will also require a variance for a reduction in the
front yard setback from 60 feet to 45 feet, measured from the centerline of the street. The
lot is unique in that it is much smaller than most lots in the area and very narrow in the
rear, probably as a result of the construction of the 1-5 on-ramp. The street frontage of the
parcel is approximately 74 feet and the width narrows to 0 feet at the rear. Since the
depth of the lot is 122 feet, a 60 foot front yard setback would render nearly 55 percent of
the parcel unusable.
That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same zoning
district and in the same vicinity, and that a variance, if granted, would not
constitute a special privilege of the recipient not enjoyed by his neighbors.
Front yard setbacks throughout the City are typically no greater than twenty feet, and all
properties in the immediate vicinity have front setbacks much less than those required in
this zone. An assessment of properties within 500 feet of the subject site indicates that on
average their front yard setbacks are 56 feet. This parcel is further constrained by its very
small size (0.09 acres) and irregular, triangular shape. Thus this variance will not constitute
any special privilege not enjoyed by his neighbors.
That the authorizing of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property, and will not materially impair the purposes of this
chapter or the public interest;
~-6"
Staff Report - Item No. -L
Page 6
Because this parcel is much smaller than other properties in the vicinity, this variance will
allow a building that does not vary substantially from other buildings in the neighborhood.
The three parking spaces placed beneath the second story are screened from the street and
will provide an attractive fa<;;ade. Access to the site from Stella Street and the parking
layout are appropriate for the site, given the lack of access points and site limitations. The
proposal has a building lot coverage of 48%, although the M-52 zone has no minimum lot
coverage requirements.
That the authorizing of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of
the city or the adopted plan of any governmental agency.
The authorizing of this variance will have no impact on the General Plan of the city
or the adopted plan of any governmental agency. The proposed use is consistent
with the General Plan and the M-52 zone, and all other development standards
will be met.
REDEVELOPMENT FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed project will create an increase in assessed valuation and the Agency will
receive one percent of this increase as tax increment revenue. Of the one percent, the
Agency will place 20% in the low and moderate income housing fund, and will give 20%
to the County of San Diego, 7% to the Sweetwater Union High School District, 2% to
Southwestern Community College, 1 % to the San Diego County Office of Education, and
11 % to the Chula Vista Elementary School District, leaving the Agency approximately
39% percent of the 1 % increase in assessed valuation available for redevelopment
activities. These pass-through percentages are applicable to the Southwest Project area
only.

Consideration of Two Exclusive Negotiating Agreements for Sites
within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Area
TO:
VIA:
SUBJECT:
Project Areas: Town Centre I
Agreement: Exclusive Negotiating Agreements
Developers: CityMark Communities LLC and Voyage LLC (Public)
Project Sites: (1) Church and Davidson Northwest and (2) Landis and Davidson
Northeast
Project Types: Mixed-Use and Residential
Project Descriptions: To Be Determined
BACKGROUND:
Staff is proposing two Exclusive Negotiating Agreements (ENAs) for review and
consideration by the CVRe. Although these are considered "new" ENAs in the Third
Avenue area, staff has been working closely with these developers during the past two
years, examining potential development sites in the Third Avenue Village as the Urban
Core Specific Plan (UCSP) was in process. Each developer previously had ENAs for other
development sites on City/Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency ("Agency")-owned parking
lots. The details of those ENAs and why the ENAs are being proposed for different sites are
described in this report.
~-\
Staff Report - Item No. ~

The new ENAs proposed are as follows:
Developer Site Action
CityMark Communities LLC Landis and Davidson Northeast New ENA
Voyage LLC (Public) Church and Davidson Northwest New ENA
The following staff report provides information about ENAs in general, why one of the
previous agreements was allowed to expire and the other was terminated, a brief review of
the downtown parking study findings and recommendations, and a description of the two
ENAs.
RECOMMEN DA liON:
Staff recommends that the CVRC adopt the following resolutions:
a) Resolution approving an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between the CVRC
and CityMark Communities LLC regarding the redevelopment of the Landis and
Davidson Northeast Site; and
b) Resolution approving an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between the CVRC
and Voyage LLC regarding the redevelopment of the Church and Davidson
Northwest site.
DISCUSSION:
Exclusive Negotiating Agreements
Purpose
An ENA is a roadmap for the evolution of a redevelopment project. ENAs establish
a predictable and agreed upon process, timeline, and parameters for developers and
the staff to cooperatively design and process redevelopment proposals that meet the
goals and objectives of both parties. The ENA process strategically evolves a
proposal from initial concept to a defined project that is consistent with City and
Agency plans and policies (e.g., General Plan, Urban Core Specific Plan and
redevelopment plans), creating greater opportunities and incentives for private
investment and community benefit.
,\_L--
Staff Report - Item No. ~
Page 3
Structure
As crafted, the ENA generally describes the proposed development site, establishes
a timeline for milestones and public participation, defines the negotiation period,
and establishes a deposit amount.
An important component of the ENA is the timeline, which is an attachment to the
ENA. This document provides clear completion dates for various predevelopment
tasks. Two main objectives that this timeline facilitates are:
1. The preparation and completion of market studies, site plans and elevations,
financing and development analysis, and public outreach and input
2. The establishment of a framework for negotiations to reach business deal
points and terms for entering into a Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA)
Previous ENAS and Parking Study
As noted above, both CityMark's and Public's previous ENAs were on land used for public
parking, at Landis and Davidson Southeast (CityMark) and at Church and Madrona
Northwest (Public). Prior to entering into Disposition and Development Agreements
(DDAs), the City, through the recent completion of a comprehensive downtown parking
management study, determined that there would be a potential impact to redeveloping
those particular parking lots, possibly requiring replacement parking elsewhere in the
urban core.
Parking Study Findings
In October 2006, the City of Chula Vista Community Development Department
initiated a comprehensive parking study to look at the management and supply of
public parking in the urban core. The results of that study, as well as staff's
recommendations, are being presented to the Chula Vista Redevelopment
Corporation (CVRC) on August 9, 2007. The parking study findings showed that
CityMark's site (referred to as Lot 3 in the study) was highly-utilized, and Public's
site (Lot 6) was well-utilized. The preliminary recommendation from the parking
consultant was to maintain the public parking on Lot 3; however, the consultant did
not make a specific recommendation for Lot 6. Based on staff's analysis of the
findings and preliminary recommendations in the parking study, as well as public
input from a series of eight community meetings, the two lots will be maintained for
public parking.
CityMark
CityMark entered into an ENA on July 19, 2005 with the Agency to develop a one-
acre property made up of eight City- and Agency-owned parcels on Landis Avenue
.q---~
Staff Report - Item No. ~
Page 4
just south of Davidson Street. The 300-day timeline for that ENA was tied to the
adoption of the UCSP. The ENA was amended twice - once in August 2006, and
again in March 2007 - in accordance with the anticipated approval of the UCSP.
The UCSP was ultimately approved on April 26, 2007, around the same time that
staff was analyzing the findings and preliminary recommendations from the parking
study. The findings showed heavy parking utilization of Lot 3, and recommended
maintaining public parking facilities on those parcels. Additionally, adjacent
property owners and businesses, including several medical office uses, weighed in
during community presentations to recommend against redevelopment of the
parking lot. Staff concurred with the consultant's and the public's
recommendations, and on June 6, 2007, the ENA on the property was allowed to
expire, with the intent of proposing a new ENA on an alternate site at the northeast
corner of Landis Avenue and Davidson Street.
Voyage llC (Public)
On May 11, 2006, the CVRC approved an ENA with Public for a two-parcel
Agency-owned property on the northwest corner of Church Avenue and Madrona
Street in the urban core, currently in use as a public parking lot. Like CityMark,
Public's 300-day ENA timeline was linked to the adoption of the UCSP. In March
2007, the ENA was extended administratively, and on April 26, 2007, the same
night the UCSP was approved, the Agreement was amended again, making minor
adjustments to the timeline and lengthening the negotiation period. Analyzing the
parking study findings and recommendations, staff found that the lot was well-
utilized. During community presentations, staff heard from local restaurant and
business owners who were vocal about their concerns regarding loss of the 30
parking spaces provided on the lot. As a direct result of public input, staff
recommended maintaining the lot for public parking. After discussing the
recommendation with the developer, the ENA was terminated on July 6, 2007, with
the intent of proposing a new ENA on an alternate site at the northwest corner of
Church Avenue and Davidson Street.
~-- .l\
Staff Report - Item No. ~
Page 5
New ENAs
Both CityMark and Public are well-qualified and interested developers, capable of
implementing the vision of Chula Vista's General Plan, Town Centre I Redevelopment
Plan and the UCSP. Both developers were diligent in their efforts to move their projects
forward under their previous ENAs.' As such, staff is proposing a new ENA for an alternate
property in the urban core for each developer.
CityMark
CityMark is proposed to enter into an ENA with the CVRC on the three City-owned
parcels at the northeast corner of Davidson Street and Landis Avenue. The site is
just over half an acre and is currently used as a public parking lot, but it was not
identified in the parking study as being significantly utilized. The site is located in
the V-3 subdistrict of the UCSP. The developer is proposing a mid-rise building in
conformance with the regulations in the adopted specific plan.
Voyage LLC (Public)
Public has created a new development entity, Voyage LLC, through which it will
enter into an ENA with the CVRe. The subject property is the two City-owned
parcels at the northwest corner of Church Avenue and Davidson Street. The
approximately one-third acre site is also currently used for public parking, but it was
not identified as being significantly utilized. The site is located in the V-l
subdistrict of the UCSP. The developer is proposing ten condominium units, two of
which will be live/work units, in conformance with the regulations in the adopted
plan.
Market
The success of Chula Vista's redevelopment activities is highly dependent upon the City's
efforts to time projects to take advantage of market opportunities and to respond quickly to
the needs of investors when markets are strong. Although the market is presently soft,
putting the proposed agreements in place and starting the entitlement process now will lay
the groundwork for these projects to be completed as the cycle starts to improve again.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the CVRC Members and has found that a
conflict exists, in that CVRC Board Member Salas has property holdings within 500 feet of
the boundaries of the Church and Davidson site, (PublicNoyage LLC) which is one of the
subjects of this action.
1 The previous ENA schedules for CityMark and Public were linked to the approval of the UCSP, which took
effect June 14, 2007. Throughout the negotiating period, CityMark and Public worked cooperatively with
staff to make the necessary amendments to their respective agreements, and would have gone forward with
the projects as planned, had it not been for the results of the parking study.
4~S
Staff Report - Item No. -L
Page 6
No conflicts exist for the Landis and Davidson site.
CONClUSION:
Since the approval of the original two ENAs with CityMark and Public, the economy and
market have shifted, which has been reflected in rising interest rates, increased
construction costs and the slowing in the absorption of new units. Due to the financial
complexity of urban infill projects, a change in any of these variables has an impact on
redevelopment and on Chula Vista's revitalization activities on the west side. As stated
above, both developers are well-qualified and interested in developing in Chula Vista. It is
therefore important that the CVRC expeditiously capture and take advantage of the
opportunity to plan effectively, implementing strategic redevelopment tools through the
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement.

Existinq Uses & Ownership
The site is owned by the City and is currently used as a
metered parking lot. Landis Avenue is a secondary street
between E and F Streets that is characterized by a mixture of
older and unique residences, many of which have been
converted to professional office and multifamily residential
uses. The site is located in the Urban Core Specific Plan's
West Village V-3 Subdistrict, which allows FARs between 2.0 and 4.5, heights between 18'
and 84', primary land use maximums of 100% residential, 10% retail, and 10% office.
Surrounding lond uses include several medical office buildings and other miscellaneous
commercial retail, service, and office uses.
LANDIS AVENUE NORTHEAST
Site Description
Located in the heart of Chula Vista's downtown village, the
Landis Northeast site is situated in an ideal location for the
creation of residential densities to support and reinvigorate
the Third Avenue business district. Development at this
location will also present important opportunities to create
enhanced linkages and pedestrian access to and from local
residences, Third Avenue businesses, neighboring parks, and
local community centers.
CityMark Communities LCC, is interested in developing a
proiect on the Landis Northeast site within the Agency's Town
Centre I Redevelopment Project Area. The subject property
consists of eight parcels located on the northeast corner of
Landis Avenue and Davidson Street (Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 568-044-0900, 568-044-1000, 568-044-1100)
and totals approximately 29,319 square feet in area.
Developer Qualification & Owner Participation Process
CityMark was selected through a Request for Proposals and Qualifications process for
another City/Agency-owed site in the vicinity, and the Redevelopment Agency entered into
an ENA with the Developer on that property in July 2005. In mid-2007, a City-
commissioned parking study recommended against redevelopment of the property. The
ENA was allowed to expire, with the intent that the developer would enter into a new ENA
on an alternate site.
Developer Profile, History, and Qualifications
CityMark is an urban residential and mixed-use development company based in San
Diego and founded in 2000. CityMark primarily develops low-rise and mid-rise

In furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment Law, the
Agency has undertaken a program for the redevelopment of certain areas within the City of

The Developer is proposing to develop an urban residential condominium
development ("Project") and desires to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement

qualifications, the CVRC desires to enter into this Agreement with the Developer with the
objective of determining the feasibility of the proposed project and consideration of entering into
a mutually acceptable DDA for the development of the Property consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement at the earliest practical date.
The Developer anticipates that, following execution of this Agreement and through
the period of negotiation and preparation of a DDA with respect to the Project, it will devote
substantial time and effort in preparing plans, preparing project pro formas, contacting financial
institutions, engaging appropriate consultants, and meeting with the Agency and various other
necessary third parties in connection with the proposed Project, and in negotiating and preparing
a DDA consistent with the basic terms and mutual understandings established in this Agreement.

represent that they have not engaged any other broker, agent or finder in connection with this

D. Assignment
1. CVRC would not have entered into this Agreement but for Developer's unique
qualifications and experience. Therefore, Developer's rights and obligations under this
Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written approval of CVRC in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the prior written approval of the CEO,
Developer may assign its rights hereunder to a new entity formed by the Developer for purposes
of developing the Project. Such new entity may include additional parties provided that the
Developer retains responsibility for fulfilling its obligations hereunder and Developer retains
management control and authority over the entity and the Project.

than fifty percent (50%) of the membership, ownership, management or control of the Developer

Agreement, without liability, by sending written notice of termination to Developer.
E. Nondiscrimination
Developer shall not discriminate against nor segregate any person, or group of persons on
account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, disability, national origin or ancestry in
undertaking its obligations under this Agreement.
7. RETENTION OF DISCRETION
A. By its execution of this Agreement, CVRC is not committing itself or agreeing to
undertake any activity requiring the subsequent exercise of discretion by CVRC, Agency, or
City, or any department thereof including, but not limited to, the approval and execution of a
DDA; the proposal, amendment, or approval of any land use regulation governing the Property;
the provision of financial assistance for the development of any public or private interest in real
property; the authorization or obligation to use the Agency's eminent domain authority; or, any
other such activity.
B. Developer understands and agrees that the CVRC, Agency, and City, in their
respective legislative roles, reserve the right to exercise their discretion as to all matters which
the CVRC, Agency, and City are by law entitled or required to exercise such discretion,
including but not limited to, entitlements or permits for the development of the Property and
adoption of any amendments to policy documents (including the General Plan, Urban Core
Specific Plan, and Redevelopment Plans). In addition, Developer understands and agrees that
the entitlements and any other documents shall be subject to and brought to the CVRe, Agency,
or City, as appropriate, for consideration in accordance with applicable legal requirements,

C. Developer acknowledges that any plans processed for the Property will be based
upon the current General Plan and Zoning Code of the City. Additionally, Developer
acknowledges that the City is still in the process of completing portions of the Urban Core
Specific Plan ("UCSP"). Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City may consider a
number of development alternatives for the Property for consideration by the City Council as
part of City's UCSP process. Developer further acknowledges that the City is currently in
litigation over the UCSP and that said litigation could affect the Property and the Developer's
interests therein. Developer agrees and acknowledges that the processing, adoption and/or
amendment of the General Plan or the UCSP by the City is not a consideration in its proceeding
with this Agreement or the proposed development project and Developer may need to request
amendments to the General Plan or UCSP. The General Plan and UCSP are legislative actions
and this agreement does not limit or in any way interfere with the City Council's ability to
exercise their discretionary authority as it relates to these or any other legislative actions.
Developer acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the City's legislative discretion, whether
by the City Council's own actions or pursuant to or as a result of any litigation shall not form the
basis of breach of this Agreement, express or implied, or any other claims against the City.
D. This Agreement does not constitute a disposition of property or exercise of
control over property by CYRC and does not require a public hearing. CYRC execution of this
Agreement is merely an agreement to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations according to
the terms hereof, reserving final discretion and approval by Agency as to any proposed DDA and
all proceedings and decisions in connection therewith. The parties understand that Agency has
the complete and unfettered discretion to reject a DDA without explanation or cause. The risk of
loss of all processing, design and developmental costs incurred by the Developer prior to DDA
approval shall be absorbed entirely by Developer except unless expressly assumed, by the terms
of this Agreement by the CYRC. As to any matter which the CYRC and/or Agency may be
required to exercise its unfettered discretion in advancing the Project to completion, nothing
herein shall obligate the CYRC and/or Agency to exercise its discretion in any particular manner,
and any exercise of discretion reserved hereunder or required by law, shall not be deemed to
constitute a breach of CYRC duties under this agreement.
8. TERMINATION RIGHTS
Notwithstanding the Initial or Extended Negotiating Periods hereinabove set forth, either
party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially defaulted in its obligations
herein set forth, and the terminating party has provided defaulting party with written notification
of such determination, and the defaulting party has refused to cure same. The written
notification shall set forth the nature of the actions required to cure such default if curable.
Defaulting party shall have 30 days from the date of the written notification to cure such default.
If such default is not cured within the 30 days, the termination shall be deemed effective. Any
failure or delay by a party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default shall not
operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights or remedies associated with a default. Each
party shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that CYRC or Developer
determines that: (a) the Project is infeasible or not in the public interest; or (b) the parties reach
an impasse in their negotiation of the DDA which cannot be resolved after good faith efforts.

This Exclusive Negotiating Agreement ("Agreement"), dated as of this 23rd day of
August, 2007, ("Effective Date") is entered into by the Chula Vista Redevelopment
Corporation, a nonprofit, public benefit corporation ("CVRC"), on behalf of and for the City of

Voyage, LLC, a California Lirnited Liability Company ("Developer"), with reference to the
following facts:
RECITALS
In furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment Law,
the Agency has undertaken a program for the redevelopment of certain areas within the City
of Chula Vista ("City"), and in connection therewith is undertaking and carrying out activities
for redevelopment in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area")
pursuant to and in furtherance of the redevelopment plan for the Project Area
("Redevelopment Plan").
To assist in the carrying out of planning and redevelopment activities the City of
Chula Vista created the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation ("CVRC"). Pursuant to

Agreement on behalf of the Redevelopment Agency.
The subject matter of this Agreement concerns that certain real property located
within the Project Area as depicted on Exhibit "A" hereto ("Property"). The Property is
situated on two parcels at the northwest comer of Church Street and Davidson Street, known
as the Church and Davidson northwest site (APN 568-07-119, 568-07-118). The site totals
approximately 13,856 square feet in area.
Agency has received an unsolicited proposal for the redevelopment of the
Property from a qualified and interested developer. Therefore, the CYRC desires to enter
into this Agreement with the Developer with the objective of determining the feasibility of the
proposed project and consideration of entering into a mutually acceptable DDA for the
development of the Property consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at the
earliest practical date.
The Developer is proposing to develop ten (10) residential for-sale homes
("Project") and desires to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") with
the Agency.
The Developer anticipates that, following execution of the Agreement and
through the period of negotiation and preparation of a DDA with respect to the Project, it
will devote substantial time and effort in preparing plans, preparing project proformas,
contacting financial institutions, engaging appropriate consultants, and meeting with the City
and various other necessary third parties in connection with the proposed Project, and in
-1- Li.-)\
negotiating and preparing a DDA consistent with the basic terms and mutual understandings
established in this Agreement.

party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other against claims for
commissions or fees made through such party.
B. Each Party to Bear its Own Cost.

C. Confidentiality.
4,.-~ \
- 5 -
CVRC and Developer recognize that disclosures made by Developer pursuant to
this Agreement may contain sensitive information and that the disclosure of such
information to third parties could impose commercially umeasonable and/or
uncompetitive burdens on Developer and, may correspondingly, diminish the value or
fiscal benefit that may accrue to the CVRC upon the redevelopment of the Property by
the Developer, if a future DDA is entered into by the Parties. Developer acknowledges
and agrees that CVRC is a public entity with a responsibility and, in many cases, legal
obligation to conduct its business in a manner open and available to the public.
Accordingly, any information provided by Developer to CVRC with respect to the
Property, the Project or Developer may be disclosed to the public either purposely,
inadvertently, or as a result of a public demand or order. With respect to any information
provided that Developer reasonably deems and identifies in writing as proprietary and
confidential in nature, CVRC agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep such information
confidential.
In addition, if CVRC determines that it is required under applicable law to disclose any
information identified by Developer as proprietary and confidential in nature, CVRC
shall notifY Developer at least three business days before disclosure of such information
which will provide Developer the opportunity to seek a protective order preventing such
disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, CVRC's failure to provide said notice shall not
constitute a breach of this agreement or grounds for a claim or cause of action of any
nature against the CVRC as a result of the release of said claimed proprietary or
confidential information.
D. Assignment
I. CVRC would not have entered into this Agreement but for Developer's
unique qualifications and experience. Therefore, Developer's rights and obligations
under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written approval ofCVRC in
its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the prior written approval of
the CEO, Developer may assign its rights hereunder to a new entity comprised of the
Developer for purposes of developing the Project. Such new entity may include
additional parties provided that the Developer retains responsibility for fulfilling its
obligations hereunder and Developer retains management control and authority over the
entity and the Project.
2. Upon the occurrence of any change, whether voluntary or involuntary, in
membership, ownership, management or control of the Developer (other than such
changes occasioned by the death or incapacity of any individual) that has not been
approved by the CVRC, prior to the time of such change, the CVRC may terminate this
Agreement, without liability, by sending written notice of termination to Developer.
Developer shall not discriminate against nor segregate any person, or group of
persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, disability, national
origin or ancestry in undertaking its obligations under this Agreement.
7. RETENTION OF DISCRETION
A. By its execution of this Agreement, CYRC is not committing itself or
agreeing to undertake any activity requiring the subsequent exercise of discretion by
CYRC, Agency or City, or any department thereof including, but not limited to, the
approval and execution of a DDA; the proposal, amendment, or approval of any land use
regulation governing the Property; the provision of financial assistance for the
development of any public or private interest in real property; the authorization or
obligation to use the Agency's eminent domain authority; or, any other such activity.
B. Developer understands and agrees that the CYRC, Agency and City, in
their respective legislative roles, reserve the right to exercise their discretion as to all
matters which the CYRC, Agency and City are by law entitled or required to exercise
such discretion, including but not limited to, Entitlements for the development of the
Property and adoption of any amendments to policy documents (including the General
Plan, Urban Core Specific Plan and Redevelopment Plans). In addition, Developer
understands and agrees that the Entitlements and any other documents shall be subject to
and brought to the CYRC, Agency or City, as appropriate, for consideration in
accordance with applicable legal requirements, including laws related to notice, public
hearings, due process and the California Environmental Quality Act.
C. Developer acknowledges that any plans processed for the Property will be
based upon the current General Plan and Zoning Code of the City. Additionally,
Developer acknowledges that the City is still in the process of completing portions of the
Urban Core Specific Plan ("UCSP"). Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City
may consider a number of development alternatives for the Property for consideration by
the City Council as part of City's UCSP process. Developer further acknowledges that
the City is currently in litigation over the UCSP and that said litigation could affect the
Property and the Developer's interests therein. Developer agrees and acknowledges that
the processing, adoption and/or amendment of the General Plan or the UCSP by the City
is not a consideration in its proceeding with this Agreement or the proposed development
project and Developer may need to request amendments to the General Plan or UCSP.
The General Plan and UCSP are legislative actions and this agreement does not limit or
in any way interfere with the City Council's ability to exercise their discretionary
authority as it relates to these or any other legislative actions. Developer acknowledges
and agrees that the exercise of the City's legislative discretion, whether by the City
Council's own actions or pursuant to or as a result of any litigation shall not form the
basis of breach of this Agreement, express or implied, or any other claims against the
City.
4--':?:J
- 7-
D. This Agreement does not constitute a disposition of property or exercise of
control over property by CVRC and does not require a public hearing. CVRC execution
of this Agreement is merely an agreement to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations
according to the terms hereof, reserving final discretion and approval by Agency as to
any proposed DDA and all proceedings and decisions in connection therewith. The
parties understand that Agency has the complete and unfettered discretion to reject a
DDA without explanation or cause. The risk of loss of all processing, design and
developmental costs incurred by the Developer prior to DDA approval shall be absorbed
entirely by Developer except unless expressly assumed, by the terms of this Agreement
by the CVRe. As to any matter in which the CVRC and/or Agency may be required to
exercise its unfettered discretion in advancing the Project to completion, nothing herein
shall obligate the CVRC and/or Agency to exercise its discretion in any particular
manner, and any exercise of discretion reserved hereunder or required by law, shall not
be deemed to constitute a breach of CVRC duties under this agreement.
8. TERMINATION RIGHTS
Notwithstanding the Initial or Extended Negotiating Periods hereinabove set
forth, either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially
defaulted in its obligations herein set forth, and the terminating party has provided
defaulting party with written notification of such determination, and the defaulting party
has refused to cure same. The written notification shall set forth the nature of the actions
required to cure such default if curable. Defaulting party shall have 30 days from the
date of the written notification to cure such default. If such default is not cured within the
30 days, the termination shall be deemed effective. Any failure or delay by a party in
asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of
any default or of any rights or remedies associated with a default. Each party shall also
have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that CVRC or Developer
determines that (a) the Project is infeasible or not in the public interest; or (b) the parties
reach an impasse in their negotiation of the DDA which cannot be resolved after good
faith efforts.

EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT
This Exclusive Negotiating Agreement ("Agreement"), dated as of this 23rd
day of August, 2007 ("Effective Date"), is made by and between the Chula Vista Redevelopment
Corporation, a California nonprofit, public benefit corporation ("CVRC"), on behalf of and for
the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, a public body, corporate and politic
("Agency"), and CityMark Communities, LLC, a California limited liability company
("Developer"), with reference to the following facts:
RECIT AL$
In furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment Law, the
Agency has undertaken a program for the redevelopment of certain areas within the City of
Chula Vista ("City"), and in connection therewith is undertaking and carrying out activities for
redevelopment in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area") pursuant to
and in furtherance of the redevelopment plan for the Project Area ("Redevelopment Plan").
The subject matter of this Agreement concerns that certain real property located

three parcels encompassing approximately 29,319 square feet of territory located on the
northeast corner of Landis Avenue and Davidson Street in the City of Chula Vista (Assessor
Parcel Numbers 568-044-0900, 568-044-1000, 568-044-1100).
The Developer is proposing to develop an urban residential condominium
development ("Project") and desires to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement
("DDA") with the Agency.
After a competitive Request for Qualifications/Proposal selection process conducted
by the Agency for the Property in 2005, the Agency selected the Developer as a qualified entity
with which to negotiate terms for an agreement for development of the Property. Based on those
qualifications, the CVRC desires to enter into this Agreement with the Developer with the
objective of determining the feasibility of the proposed project and consideration of entering into
a mutually acceptable DDA for the development of the Property consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement at the earliest practical date.
The Developer anticipates that, following execution of this Agreement and through
the period of negotiation and preparation of a DDA with respect to the Project, it will devote
substantial time and effort in preparing plans, preparing proj ect pro formas, contacting financial
institutions, engaging appropriate consultants, and meeting with the Agency and various other
necessary third parties in connection with the proposed Project, and in negotiating and preparing
a DDA consistent with the basic terms and mutual understandings established in this Agreement.
The CVRC and the Developer ("Parties") desire to enter into this Agreement in order to
set forth the rights and duties of the Parties during the term of the Exclusive Negotiating Period.

promise or commitment by the CVRC, the Agency, !he City of Chula Vista, or any agency of the
City, with respect to the acquisition of property or the approval of the development project.
CVRC's acceptance of this Agreement is merely an agreement to enter into a period of exclusive
negotiations according to the terms hereof, reserving final discretion and approval by Agency as
to any actions required of it.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer acknowledges that Agency may
receive from time to time, unsolicited alternative proposals for the development of the Property.

his or her sole discretion, on behalf of the CVRC, is authorized to extend, in writing, the term of
this Agreement for up to an additional ninety days (90) days ("Extended Negotiation Period")
provided that at the end of the Initial Negotiation Period, neither the CVRC nor the Developer
has exercised its right to terminate as provided herein and the Developer is in full compliance
with all terms and conditions hereof, the Developer concurs with such extension of the
negotiation period, and the CEO has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
Developer will agree to terms and conditions for the development of the Project on the Property

represent that they have not engaged any other broker, agent or finder in connection with this

C. Confidentiality
CVRC and Developer recognize that disclosures made by Developer pursuant to this

upon the redevelopment of the Property by the Developer, if a future DDA is entered into by the
Parties. Developer acknowledges and agrees that CVRC is a public entity with a responsibility
and, in many cases, legal obligation to conduct its business in a manner open and available to the

or as a result of a public demand or order. With respect to any information provided that
Developer reasonably deems and identifies in writing as proprietary and confidential in nature,
CVRC agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep such information confidential. In addition, if
CVRC determines that it is required under applicable law to disclose any information identified
by Developer as proprietary and confidential in nature, CVRC shall notify Developer as least
three business days before disclosure of such information which will provide Developer the
opportunity to seek a protective order preventing such disclosure.
.5.
D. Assignment
1. CVRC would not have entered into this Agreement but for Developer's unique
qualifications and experience. Therefore, Developer's rights and obligations under this
Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written approval of CVRC in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the prior written approval of the CEO,

than fifty percent (50%) of the membership, ownership, management or control of the Developer

been approved by the CVRC, prior to the time of such change, the CVRC may terminate this
Agreement, without liability, by sending written notice oftermination to Developer.
E. Nondiscrimination
Developer shall not discriminate against nor segregate any person, or group of persons on
account ofrace, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, disability, national origin or ancestry in
undertaking its obligations under this Agreement.
7. RETENTION OF DISCRETION
A. By its execution of this Agreement, CVRC is not committing itself or agreeing to
undertake any activity requiring the subsequent exercise of discretion by CVRC, Agency, or
City, or any department thereof including, but not limited to, the approval and execution of a
DDA; the proposal, amendment, or approval of any land use regulation governing the Property;
the provision of financial assistance for the development of any public or private interest in real
property; the authorization or obligation to use the Agency's eminent domain authority; or, any
other such activity.
B. Developer understands and agrees that the CVRC, Agency, and City, in their
respective legislative roles, reserve the right to exercise their discretion as to all matters which
the CVRC, Agency, and City are by law entitled or required to exercise such discretion,
including but not limited to, entitlements or permits for the development of the Property and
adoption of any amendments to policy documents (including the General Plan, Urban Core
Specific Plan, and Redevelopment Plans). In addition, Developer understands and agrees that
the entitlements and any other documents shall be subject to and brought to the CVRC, Agency,
or City, as appropriate, for consideration in accordance with applicable legal requirements,
including laws related to notice, public hearings, due process, and the California Environmental
Quality Act.
- 6.
C. Developer acknowledges that any plans processed for the Property will be based
upon the current General Plan and Zoning Code of the City. Additionally, Developer
acknowledges that the City is still in the process of completing portions of the Urban Core
Specific Plan ("UCSP"). Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City may consider a
number of development alternatives for the Property for consideration by the City Council as
part of City's UCSP process. Developer further acknowledges that the City is currently in
litigation over the UCSP and that said litigation could affect the Property and the Developer's
interests therein. Developer agrees and acknowledges that the processing, adoption and/or
amendment of the General Plan or the UCSP by the City is not a consideration in its proceeding
with this Agreement or the proposed development project and Developer may need to request
amendments to the General Plan or UCSP. The Ge,l1eral Plan and UCSP are legislative actions
and this agreement does not limit or in any way interfere with the City Council's ability to
exercise their discretionary authority as it relates to these or any other legislative actions.
Developer acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the City's legislative discretion, whether
by the City Council's own actions or pursuant to or as a result of any litigation shall not form the
basis of breach of this Agreement, express or implied, or any other claims against the City.
D. This Agreement does not constitute a disposition of property or exercise of
control over property by CVRC and does not require a public hearing. CVRC execution of this
Agreement is merely an agreement to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations according to
the terms hereof, reserving final discretion and approval by Agency as to any proposed DDA and
all proceedings and decisions in connection therewith. The parties understand that Agency has
the complete and unfettered discretion to reject a DDA without explanation or cause. The risk of
loss of all processing, design and developmental costs incurred by the Developer prior to DDA
approval shall be absorbed entirely by Developer except unless expressly assumed, by the terms
of this Agreement by the CVRC. As to any matter which the CVRC and/or Agency may be
required to exercise its unfettered discretion in advancing the Project to completion, nothing
herein shall obligate the CVRC and/or Agency to exercise its discretion in any particular manner,
and any exercise of discretion reserved hereunder or required by law, shall not be deemed to
constitute a breach ofCVRC duties under this agreement.
8. TERMINATION RIGHTS
Notwithstanding the Initial or Extended Negotiating Periods hereinabove set forth, either
party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially defaulted in its obligations
herein set forth, and the terminating party has provided defaulting party with written notification
of such determination, and the defaulting party has refused to cure same. The written
notification shall set forth the nature of the actions required to cure such default if curable.
Defaulting party shall have 30 days from the date of the written notification to cure such default.
If such default is not cured within the 30 days, the termination shall be deemed effective. Any
failure or delay by a party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default shall not
operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights or remedies associated with a default. Each
party shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that CVRC or Developer
determines that: (a) the Project is infeasible or not in the public interest; or (b) the parties reach
an impasse in their negotiation of the DDA which cannot be resolved after good faith efforts.

The Developer is proposing to develop ten (10) residential for-sale homes
("Project") and desires to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") with
the Agency.
The Developer anticipates that, following execution of the Agreement and
through the period of negotiation and preparation of a DDA with respect to the Project, it
will devote substantial time and effort in preparing plans, preparing project proformas,
contacting financial institutions, engaging appropriate consultants, and meeting with the City
and various other necessary third parties in connection with the proposed Project, and in
-1-
negotiating and preparing a DDA consistent with the basic terms and mutual understandings
established in this Agreement.
The CYRC and the Developer ("Parties") desire to enter into this Agreement in order
to set forth the rights and duties of the Parties during the term of the Exclusive Negotiating
Period subject to the Owner Participation rules and regulations established for the Project
Area
Now, therefore, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Good Faith Negotiations
A. CVRC and Developer agree (pursuant to Section 2.A) to negotiate in good
faith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement a DDA or other form of agreement or
agreements to be entered into between the Agency and Developer concerning the
purchase and development of the Property. During the negotiation period pursuant to
Section 2 below, CVRC agrees not to negotiate with any other person or entity regarding
development of the Property without the consent of Developer. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed a covenant, promise or commitment by CVRC, the City of
Chula Vista, or any agency of the City, with respect to the acquisition of property or the
approval of development. CVRC's acceptance ofthis Agreement is merely an agreement
to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations according to the terms hereof, reserving
final discretion and approval by Agency as to any actions required of it.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer acknowledges that Agency may
receive from time to time, unsolicited alternative proposals for the development of the
Property. Agency shall endeavor to notify Developer within ten days after receiving an
unsolicited alternative development proposal for all or any portion of the Property.
Agency and Developer shall confer in good faith to assess the benefits of the unsolicited
proposal.
2. Negotiation Period
A. CVRC and Developer agree to negotiate for an initial 300 days which
shall commence on the Effective Date unless earlier terminated in accordance with the
provisions hereof ("Initial Negotiation Period").
B. If, upon the expiration of such Initial Negotiation Period, the Parties have
not each approved and executed a DDA, then the Chief Executive Officer of the CVRC
("CEO"), in his or her sole discretion, on behalf of the CVRC, is authorized to extend the
term of this Agreement for up to an additional 90 days ("Extended Negotiation Period")
provided that at the end of the Initial Negotiation Period, the CVRC has not exercised its
right to terminate as herein provided, the Developer is in full compliance with all terms
and conditions hereof, the Developer concurs with such extension of the negotiation
period, and the CEO has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
Developer will agree to terms and conditions for the development of the Project on the
-2 -
Property required for the development of the Project that Agency staff will be able to
recommend approval of the DDA to Agency prior to the expiration of the Extended
Negotiation Period.
C. If, after expiration of the Initial Negotiation Period, or after the Extended
Negotiation Period if this Agreement is extended, the Parties have not each approved and
executed a DDA, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and Developer shall
have no further rights regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the Property, and
Agency shall be free to negotiate with any other persons or entities with regard to the
Property.
3. Obligations of Developer
A. Schedule
CYRC and Developer agree and acknowledge that all submittals required
by this Agreement shall be submitted pursuant to the timeline attached hereto as Exhibit
"B." Exhibit "B" may be amended administratively by the CEO as needed and with the
concurrence of the Developer in writing, provided the timeline does not exceed the Initial
Negotiation Period or the Extended Negotiation Period, if applicable.
B. Development and Design Plans
During the negotiation period, Developer shall submit development and
design plans for the Project. Developer shall also furnish such information to CYRC
regarding the Project as may be required by CYRC and/or City to perform an
environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All
fees and expenses for engineers, architects, financial consultants, legal, planning or other
consultants retained by Developer to perform Developer's obligations set forth in this
Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of Developer.
C. Reports, Studies and Public Participation
Developer shall make written reports to the CYRC on the Developer's progress
toward meeting its obligations under this Agreement and oral progress reports on all
matters and all studies being made related to the acquisition and development of the
Project and other matters under negotiation to the extent that they do not include
confidential matters, as requested. As CYRC deems reasonably necessary or appropriate,
presentations may be requested at public forums to solicit input from citizens, businesses,
stakeholders and relevant interest groups.
- 3-
D. Financing
Developer shall, consistent with Exhibit "B," develop a program of financing that
provides the CYRC with reasonably satisfactory evidence that financing will be available
for acquisition and development of the Property.
E. Deposit
Developer deposited $25,000 ("ENA Deposit") with Agency in May 2006 for a
previous ENA, which has since been terminated, on a site known as Church and Madrona
northwest (APN 568-351-04-00 and 568-351-0~-00). CYRC shall continue to use the
remaining balance ($25,000) of the previous ENA deposit to conduct project analysis for
this Agreement, including but not limited to paying for third party consultants,
City/Agency staff time (at applicable full cost recovery rates), and other reasonable costs
incurred by the CYRC and Agency in conducting such analysis. CYRC shall request
additional deposits if the ENA Deposit is exhausted and CYRC determines further
analysis is required. CYRC may cease negotiations and all activities of third party
consultants until such time as ENA Deposit is replenished as reasonably requested by
CYRC. Any deposit balance remaining upon the termination of the Agreement, less any
interest eamed on said deposit, shall be returned to Developer or shall be applied to any
deposit required by a subsequent DDA.
4. CYRC Obligations and Due Diligence
A. During the Negotiation Period, the CYRC shall conduct a due diligence
investigation of the Developer's ability to purchase, own and/or operate the Project in a
responsible manner. lfthe CEO determines in his sole discretion that Developer does not
have the ability to successfully purchase, own, and/or manage the Project in a responsible
manner, the CEO may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to
Developer. CYRC's due diligence efforts may include, without limitation, the following:
I. Assessment of the proposed financing and the capacity of
Developer to qualify for financing for the Project; and
2. Assessment of the capacity of Developer and their principal staffto
effectively own and/or manage the Project, including the ability to carry out any ongoing
management oversight responsibilities
B. CYRC agrees to cooperate with Developer in providing equity partner(s)
and/or lender(s) of Developer with appropriate and necessary information for the
Developer to fulfill its obligations hereunder, which information is not otherwise
privileged.
C. CYRC shall also cooperate with Developer's professional consultants and
associates in providing them with any information and assistance, so far as such
information is not otherwise privileged, reasonably within the capacity, possession or
control of the CYRC in connection with the preparation of the Developer's submissions
to the CYRC.

5. DDA
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, during the Initial Negotiation
Period and, if applicable, the Extended Negotiation Period, the Parties shall use their
respective good faith efforts to negotiate and enter into a DDA which shall include (but
not be limited to) the following: (i) the design of the Project by the Developer, which
design shall be subject to the approval by the CVRC and/or City, (ii) the construction of
the Project by the Developer in accordance with final plans and specifications to be
provided by the Developer and approved by the CVRC and/or City, pursuant to a detailed
schedule of performance by the Developer, (iii) the operation and management of the
Project by the Developer in a good and professional manner and subject to the covenants
required by law, (iv) the maintenance of landscaping, buildings, and improvements in
good condition and satisfactory state of repair so as to be attractive to the community, (v)
the operation of the Proj ect by the Developer in compliance with all equal opportunity
standards established by federal, state and local law, (vi) provision by each contractor
and/or subcontractor (as the case may require and as appropriate) performing work on the
Project of the requisite performance bond and labor and materials payment bond to assure

consistent with plans and renderings provided by Developer and approved by the CVRC,
(viii) the terms and conditions upon which Developer shall acquire the parcel(s), (ix) the

of environmental issues/hazardous substances on the Site, unexpected development or
construction costs, inability to acquire parcels), (x) the terms and conditions upon which
Developer may have a first right of refusal to purchase property at 250 and 354 Church
Avenue.
6. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND OBLIGATIONS
A. Real Estate Commissions.
Neither CVRC nor Developer shall be liable for any real estate commission or
brokerage fees which may arise herefrom. CVRC and Developer represent that they have
engaged no broker, agent or finder separately in connection with this transaction and each
party agrees to indenmify, hold harmless and defend the other against claims for
commissions or fees made through such party.
B. Each Party to Bear its Own Cost.
Each party shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the negotiation of
a DDA, and the implementation of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or expressly agreed in writing.
C. Confidentiality.
- 5-
CVRC and Developer recognize that disclosures made by Developer pursuant to
this Agreement may contain sensitive information and that the disclosure of such
information to third parties could impose commercially unreasonable and/or
uncompetitive burdens on Developer and, may correspondingly, diminish the value or
fiscal benefit that may accrue to the CVRC upon the redevelopment of the Property by
the Developer, if a future DDA is entered into by the Parties. Developer acknowledges
and agrees that CVRC is a public entity with a responsibility and, in many cases, legal
obligation to conduct its business in a manner open and available to the public.
Accordingly, any information provided by Developer to CVRC with respect to the
Property, the Project or Developer may be disclosed to the public either purposely,
inadvertently, or as a result of a public demand or order. With respect to any information
provided that Developer reasonably deems and identifies in writing as proprietary and
confidential in nature, CVRC agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep such information
confidential.
In addition, if CVRC determines that it is required under applicable law to disclose any
information identified by Developer as proprietary and confidential in nature, CVRC
shall notifY Developer at least three business days before disclosure of such information
which will provide Developer the opportunity to seek a protective order preventing such
disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, CVRe's failure to provide said notice shall not
constitute a breach of this agreement or grounds for a claim or cause of action of any
nature against the CVRC as a result of the release of said claimed proprietary or
confidential information.
D. Assigrunent
1. CVRC would not have entered into this Agreement but for Developer's
unique qualifications and experience. Therefore, Developer's rights and obligations
under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written approval of CVRC in
its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the prior written approval of
the CEO, Developer may assign its rights hereunder to a new entity comprised of the
Developer for purposes of developing the Project. Such new entity may include
additional parties provided that the Developer retains responsibility for fulfilling its
obligations hereunder and Developer retains management control and authority over the
entity and the Project.
2. Upon the occurrence of any change, whether voluntary or involuntary, in
membership, ownership, management or control of the Developer (other than such
changes occasioned by the death or incapacity of any individual) that has not been
approved by the CVRC, prior to the time of such change, the CVRC may terminate this
Agreement, without liability, by sending written notice of termination to Developer.
E. Nondiscrimination
- 6-
Developer shall not discriminate against nor segregate any person, or group of
persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, disability, national
origin or ancestry in undertaking its obligations under this Agreement.
7. RETENTION OF DISCRETION
A. By its execution of this Agreement, CVRC is not committing itself or
agreeing to undertake any activity requiring the subsequent exercise of discretion by
CVRC, Agency or City, or any department thereof including, but not limited to, the
approval and execution of a DDA; the proposal, amendment, or approval of any land use
regulation governing the Property; the provision of financial assistance for the
development of any public or private interest in real property; the authorization or
obligation to use the Agency's eminent domain authority; or, any other such activity.
B. Developer understands and agrees that the CVRC, Agency and City, in
their respective legislative roles, reserve the right to exercise their discretion as to all
matters which the CVRC, Agency and City are by law entitled or required to exercise
such discretion, including but not limited to, Entitlements for the development of the
Property and adoption of any amendments to policy documents (including the General
Plan, Urban Core Specific Plan and Redevelopment Plans). In addition, Developer
understands and agrees that the Entitlements and any other documents shall be subject to
and brought to the CVRC, Agency or City, as appropriate, for consideration in
accordance with applicable legal requirements, including laws related to notice, public
hearings, due process and the California Environmental Quality Act.
C. Developer acknowledges that any plans processed for the Property will be
based upon the current General Plan and Zoning Code of the City. Additionally,
Developer acknowledges that the City is still in the process of completing portions of the
Urban Core Specific Plan ("UCSP"). Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City
may consider a number of development alternatives for the Property for consideration by
the City Council as part of City's UCSP process. Developer further acknowledges that
the City is currently in litigation over the UCSP and that said litigation could affect the
Property and the Developer's interests therein. Developer agrees and acknowledges that
the processing, adoption and/or amendment of the General Plan or the UCSP by the City
is not a consideration in its proceeding with this Agreement or the proposed development
project and Developer may need to request amendments to the General Plan or UCSP.
The General Plan and UCSP are legislative actions and this agreement does not limit or
in any way interfere with the City Council's ability to exercise their discretionary
authority as it relates to these or any other legislative actions. Developer acknowledges
and agrees that the exercise of the City's legislative discretion, whether by the City
Council's own actions or pursuant to or as a result of any litigation shall not form the
basis of breach of this Agreement, express or implied, or any other claims against the
City.
-7 -
D. This Agreement does not constitute a disposition of property or exercise of
control over property by CVRC and does not require a public hearing. CVRC execution
of this Agreement is merely an agreement to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations
according to the terms hereof, reserving final discretion and approval by Agency as to
any proposed DDA and all proceedings and decisions in connection therewith. The
parties understand that Agency has the complete and unfettered discretion to reject a
DDA without explanation or cause. The risk of loss of all processing, design and
developmental costs incurred by the Developer prior to DDA approval shall be absorbed
entirely by Developer except unless expressly assumed, by the terms of this Agreement
by the CVRC. As to any matter in which the CYRC and/or Agency may be required to
exercise its unfettered discretion in advancing the Project to completion, nothing herein
shall obligate the CVRC and/or Agency to exercise its discretion in any particular
manner, and any exercise of discretion reserved hereunder or required by law, shall not
be deemed to constitute a breach of CVRC duties under this agreement.
8. TERMINATION RIGHTS
Notwithstanding the Initial or Extended Negotiating Periods hereinabove set
forth, either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially
defaulted in its obligations herein set forth, and the terminating party has provided
defaulting party with written notification of such determination, and the defaulting party
has refused to cure same. The written notification shall set forth the nature of the actions
required to cure such default if curable. Defaulting party shall have 30 days from the
date of the written notification to cure such default. If such default is not cured within the
30 days, the termination shall be deemed effective. Any failure or delay by a party in
asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of
any default or of any rights or remedies associated with a default. Each party shall also
have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that CVRC or Developer
determines that (a) the Project is infeasible or not in the public interest; or (b) the parties
reach an impasse in their negotiation of the DDA which cannot be resolved after good
faith efforts.

September 4, 2006 Joint Workshop of the City Council and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation on Reorganization of Community
Development/Redevelopment and the Roles and Responsibilities of the
CVRC
This memo and attachments are provided to you in preparation for a September 4, 2007
joint workshop that is being scheduled between the City Council and the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC). This workshop is being proposed in order to allow
an interactive discussion on two topics: 1) the proposed reorganization of the Community
Development Department to create a new Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority;
and 2) the roles and responsibilities of the CVRC, including appropriate approval authority
for redevelopment projects.
ATTACHMENTS:
Reorganization of Community Development
The proposal to the City Council is to move the personnel who are currently employed by
the City in the Community Development Department to a new Redevelopment Agency
and Housing Authority ("Agency"), to be structured as shown in Attachment A. The
proposal would move all staff located in the Housing Division, Redevelopment Division
and Administration Division, and one person from the Economic Development Division,
into the new Agency. The staff would become employees of the Agency, and not of the
City of Chula Vista.
Additionally, the remaining two Economic Division staff members would move over to
work with Economic Development Officer Denny Stone, and the three Redevelopment
Planning Division employees would move into the Planning and Building Department.
S b--- \
Staff Report - Item No. 5B
Page 2
The new Agency would contract for planning, financial, personnel and other services from
the City's General Fund departments.
CVRC Planning Roles and Responsibility
As shown in Attachment B, the proposal is to allow the CVRC to assume and carry out one
additional planning-related function-the approval of tentative maps-beyond those already
authorized by the Municipal Code. The City Council would retain authority for approving
final maps, as well as all other legislative matters as shown on Attachment B. Additionally,
it is important to note that the City Council would continue to be the final appeal body for
all CVRC planning approvals.
CVRC Redevelopment Roles and Responsibilities
Attachment C shows the proposal to allow the CVRC to assume and carry out three
additional redevelopment functions beyond those already authorized by the Municipal
Code: 1) entering into contracts with consultants, contractors, and vendors; 2) solicitation
of participation by developers (RFQs and RFPs); and 3) acquiring property (other than
through eminent domain). The City Council sitting as the Board of Directors of the
Redevelopment Agency will continue to have approval authority for the legislative and
fiduciary matters shown on Attachment C.
The proposed changes in both the staffing of the Redevelopment Agency and Housing
Authority, and the roles and responsibilities of the CVRC, are recommended to provide a
more concentrated and focused effort toward the redevelopment of Western Chula Vista.

CVRC Subcommittee Report
on the
Sweetwater Union High School District Asset Utilization Project
August 20, 2007
During the past several months, respective Subcommittees from the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC) and Sweetwater Union High School District
(SUHSD) have held several joint meetings to reexamine and discuss SUHSD's past Asset
Utilization Project proposals. After hearing and assessing all perspectives and positions
on the Project, the CVRC Subcommittee has formulated a recommendation to the full
CVRC Board to focus all efforts for this Project on: (I) the development of the District
administration facility on Third Avenue; and (2) the relocation of SUHSD's corporate
yard.
The Subcommittee believes the Project can be accomplished through development of the
District's property as long as common redevelopment practices are followed. Common to
the redevelopment process is, first, to solicit development partners, and then to negotiate
purchase and sale agreements and process entitlements. Past District proposals have been
unsuccessful partly due to the complications associated with all the assumptions and
moving parts ofthe project, and the process they have followed. It is the intent of this
proposal to break the project into smaller, more manageable pieces and to follow proven
redevelopment practices.
The CVRC Subcommittee recommends the following phased approach:
Phase I:
Development Agreement
The District either solicits a request for proposal or just enters into a development
agreement with a qualified developer(s) to purchase, entitle and build a mixed-use
development on the 23-acre L Street property and a residential development on
the 6-acre Fifth Avenue site. Bringing a developer partner(s) on board prior to site
planning and entitlement will produce a realistic development project that can be
built. An approved development project will allow the District and the
developer(s) to reach an agreement on a purchase and sale agreement(s) for the
sites. The purchase and sale agreement( s) will provide a reliable financial
agreement for use by the District and the Agency in determining whether a
funding "gap" exists to complete the project.
Phase II:
Administrative Center
The District begins designing the administration facility for the Third Avenue site
either concurrently or subsequent to the District's negotiations on a purchase and
sale agreement for the L Street property. It is the position of the CVRC
subcommittee that the relocation ofthe District's administrative facility to Third
Avenue Village is of utmost importance to the redevelopment efforts within the
urban core and especially along Third Avenue. The addition of a sizable office
complex would provide hundreds of new patrons for restaurants and businesses
locating within the Village. This location creates synergy with our downtown
retail and restaurant uses and supports the redevelopment efforts currently
underway in the urban core.
Corporation Yard
While the administration center goes through the entitlement process the
subcommittees would work with staff on identifying sites that range from six to
twelve acres which could be used for the District's corporation yard. Once a few
alternatives have been identified the subcommittees would work on a feasibility
analysis that helped narrow the range of possibilities.
The CVRC subcommittee does not support leaving the yard in its current
residential location and does not recommend any financial contribution to this
effort. Any funds remaining, after the administrative center is built, from the sale
of District properties can be applied toward the cost of relocation and construction
of a new corporation yard for the District.
Agency Assistance
The CVRC Subcommittee recognizes there may be a need for Agency assistance to
complete all phases of the District proposal and is open to sharing tax increment revenue
based on need and availability ofrevenue.
Upon completion of Phase I and II, the CVRC Subcommittee recommends the following:
Phase III:
Development Agreement
The subcommittee recommends the District either solicit a request for proposal or
enter into a development agreement(s) with a qualified developer(s) to purchase
and develop District owned property located on Moss Street. Bringing a
developer partner(s) on board prior to site planning and entitlement will produce a
more realistic development project. The development project will then allow the
District and the developer(s) to reach an agreement on a purchase and sale
agreement. The revenue received from the purchase and sale agreement will be a
reliable source of funds for use in the development of a new Adult School.
Phase IV:
Adult School
The Adult School and associated parking could potentially be co-located with the
administration center on Third Avenue or located on a small portion of the L
Street site. The cost of building the new adult school could be funded by any
remaining proceeds from the sale of District properties.
Secondary School
The school facility at Fourth Avenue could be converted and updated using funds
from Proposition 0, passed in November 2006.
Community Park
Parkland needs generated by the District's redevelopment will be addressed with
the entitlement of each phase ofthe project. Additional requirements will be
identified commensurate with any Agency subsidy provided.
Conclusion
The CVRC Subcommittee recognizes that this phased approach is one scenario out of
several potential options, but feels this proposal gives the Project the highest opportunity
for success. The Subcommittee believes that bringing a development partner on first
before entitlement ofthe site brings the greatest opportunity for success and follows
normal redevelopment practices. The proposal meets the goals of the Agency and the
District while providing a manageable path that mitigates the District's previous
assumptions with real facts and figures. The Subcommittee looks forward to working
with the District team to develop a project that is mutually beneficial to both agencies and
provides a high level of benefit to the community.
