Page 3 - CVRC/CC Minutes hllp:/ /vv"ww. chulavislaca. gov April 12, 2007 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held on the date and at the time specified in the notice. Chairwoman Cox provided a brief explanation of how the hearing on this item would be conducted. She requested that those wishing to speak to Items 4a, 4b, and 4c, address their comments when that item was heard, and advised those present wishing to speak to the Urban Core Specific Plan that it would be heard at the April 26, 2007 meeting. Planning and Building Director Sandoval spoke regarding the Cummings Initiative, also known as the "Controlled Residential Development Ordinance" in the Chula Vista Municipal Code. He addressed the timing, intent, and rationale behind the proposed revisions, stated that the City Attorney's Office had determined that the Cummings Initiative needed to be addressed in order for the Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP) to move forward, and that the Community Development Department believed that the success of their pending Exclusive Negotiating Agreements (ENAs) was contingent on the approval of the Urban Core Specific Plan. He then explained the reasons the Cummings Initiative was created: to protect community character, and to ensure the timely provision of infrastructure, which was to occur prior to or concurrent with development. A number of policies were included in the General Plan based on community input to address the community character. However, the infrastructure issue is dealt with in the Cummings Initiative through the zoning process and requires two steps, bumping up one step, waiting two years, and then bumping up the additional step. The purpose behind this was to allow infrastructure to catch up with development; however there were no guarantees, and staff felt that the guarantees for the infrastructure needed to be in place. For example, what they have in eastern Chula Vista should also be provided to citizens in western Chula Vista. Staff's proposed changes add the means to make sure this happens. Director Sandoval then turned the presentation over to Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder continued with the presentation indicating that the City of Chula Vista had done quite a bit more than required by the Cummings Initiative over the past 20 years, and provided a graphic illustration ofthe purpose and intent of what the City had done. The illustration included the 1987 Threshold Standards, the creation of the Growth Management Oversight Commission, 1989 General Plan Update and Growth Management Update. In 1991 the thresholds were made law through the Growth Management Ordinance and Program, and in the 1990's a series of fee programs were developed to carry out the requirements (Development Impact Fees or DIF's, and funding programs related to facility services and structures). In the period of the 1990's through 2000's the City developed Facility and Service Master Plans, and Monitor and Forecasting Programs. The Growth Management Oversight Commission (made up of 9 members who review, hold meetings and issue recommendations) completed the General Plan update in 2005 which was developed on with public input from 2002 through 2004. Mr. Batchelder then provided a summary of the Threshold Standards, spoke of how the Growth Management System applied citywide, and provided slides showing the effectiveness of the system by showing facilities put in the ground. He then spoke of how these standards would apply in Western Chula Vista, where there is no vacant land and different funding than in Eastern Chula Vista, and how this can be accomplished, taking into consideration that the Southwest area has some Specific Plan issues regarding development, property issues and timing. He then introduced the proposed amendments as outlined in the staff report, and provided brief overviews of each. ChairwomanlMayor Cox opened the public hearing.

Page 5 - CVRC/CC Minutes http://www.chulavistaca.gov April 12,2007 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Peter Watry, Chula Vista resident, spoke regarding inconsistencies between the Cummings Initiative and the Urban Core Specific Plan, which would affect Oaklawn and Jefferson Avenues. Clemente Inocente, Chula Vista resident, requested additional information on the proposed amendments. Chair/Mayor Cox requested Acting Community Development Director Hix meet with Mr. Inocente. Director/Councilmember Castaneda suggested Community Development staff go out to the neighborhoods and meet with the residents to explain that if the plan is adopted, their homes will not be tom down. Greg Moser, Attorney representing Earl Jentz, expressed his views that the proposed amendment was not consistent with the Cummings Initiative, and explained why he felt the amendment would not work. Director/Councilmember Castaneda noted that the Cummings Initiative was approved by the Voters in 1988 which was pre-Proposition 218 which drastically restricts any governmental agency from adopting or imposing general obligation bonds, assessment districts or community facility districts and requested Mr. Moser explain how he proposed the Council could fund an area like the Urban Core Specific Plan which under the Cummings Initiative as is, would require voters to vote on every single proposal. Mr. Moser stated it would not be easy, and suggested the passing of a parcel tax as a possible method. Gerry Scott, Chula Vista resident, inquired as to whether anyone had contacted Joe Cummings to discuss his initial purpose and intent of the Cummings Initiative. Planning and Building Director Sandoval responded that staff had to go by applied law and the stated intent that was distributed to the voters. Mr. Scott then stated he had been contacted by a developer's representative that wanted to develop between 500 to 550 residential units on the KOA site. Teresa Acerro, Chula Vista resident, expressed concern with the weakening of the growth management ordinance, and encouraged Council to focus on finding new funds for infrastructure needs as their top priority. Chairwoman/Mayor Cox read into the record the names of those who indicated opposition to staffs recommendation but did not wish to speak: Sandy Duncan, Chula Vista resident W.H. Howard Paula Perry, Chula Vista resident Joe Socorro, Chula Vista resident Nan Loebs, Chula Vista resident Margaret Tuite, Chula Vista resident Cindy Pemberton, Chula Vista resident Sam Longanecker, Chula Vista resident Page 6 - CVRCICC Minutes http://www.chulavistaca.gov April 12, 2007 _____._~_--.....-..-.J PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Charles Ulrich, Chula Vista resident Eduardo Castanon, representing Armando Ibarra, Chula Vista property owner Greg Mattson, President of T A V A, spoke in support of staff's recommendation. Chair/Mayor Cox declared the public hearing closed, introduced staff members who were present and could respond to questions from the public, and called for a brief recess at 8:09 p.m. Chairwoman/Mayor Cox reconvened the meeting at 8:22 p.m. with all members present except for Directors Castaneda (arrived at 8:24 p.m.) and Desrochers, thanked the public for their comments, and requested Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder provide clarifying comments to some of the questions raised. Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder addressed the notion expressed by some members of the public that the proposed changes would abolish the Cummings Initiative, stating that the amendments being discussed were intended to be compliant with the initiatives' intents, similar to the existing provisions for PC zoned areas, and that the General Plan envisioned the use of Specific Plans wherein a finding would have to be made consistent with the General Plan. If areas outside of currently envisioned specific plans were proposed for specific plan zoning, they would similarly require General Plan consistency. Regarding the notion of which way to approach this, staff felt that coming forward with amendments consistent with the ordinance's provisions for public discussion, along with the stringency of a unanimous vote on the part of the Directors, was the most transparent, ethical and professional way to handle it. Planning and Building Director Sandoval, again clarified that the proposed change would only pertain to properties within a Specific Plan area (SPA), so if a property was outside of a SPA, the two step process would still apply, requiring the two year wait between any rezoning. These areas were purposely excluded to make sure they still go through the two step process, because, with a Specific Plan, State law requires a level of detail in terms of land use compatibility, infrastructure, how land uses relate to each other, and the types of analysis required to be clearly spelled out. With a SPA, there is an opportunity to look at an orderly scheme of development and an opportunity to know what is coming forth in that area, which is not the case when you get development on a piecemeal basis. In terms of infrastructure, it is true that new development projects are only required to pay their way; however with a specific plan process there are often opportunities, to front infrastructure and to size infrastructure as you are aware of what other development is coming on line. There are opportunities to attack those maintenance issues in a comprehensive manner where the developer might get reimbursed in the future, so the infrastructure is in place in an orderly manner which doesn't occur outside of a SPA. Director/Agency Member/Councilmember Castaneda thanked staff for the great job done outlining the issues and putting together a strategy that speaks to the purpose and intent of the Cummings Initiative. He then referenced public comments received that expressed concerns with the language in the ordinance not addressing the Cummings Initiative. He noted that there was language throughout the ordinance and provided the following examples that stated: Page 7 - CVRC/CC Minutes htto://www.chulavistaca.gov April 12, 2007 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) unbridled, unchecked growth cannot be tolerated; if in fact growth is to happen that facilities and services need to keep pace; intense development overburdens existing open space for recreation facilities and parks; talks about traffic, and it specifically says that the measure is not designed to halt quality growth, but to ensure that rampant, unplanned development does not over tax facilities and destroy the quality and hometown character of Chula Vista. Further, he stated that it was clear that people were and are concerned with growth and development, and assured them that the Council is as well. Director/Councilmember Castaneda then stated that he did not think anyone was going to go out and beat a drum for higher taxes, and that people needed to realize that the downtown area was dying and decaying, that there was not enough money to put into infrastructure, increasing the need for new, quality development and investment, otherwise traffic will continue to worsen as will the streets, and storm drains and sewers will go unmaintained. Additionally, he noted that if redevelopment in the community is stunted, the City will continue to fall further behind, and encouraged the Board to move forward, making sure the people in the various neighborhoods are talked to and the misunderstandings are corrected. Acting Community Development Director Hix responded that she and her staff were doing outreach into the various neighborhoods. Vice Chairman/Deputy Mayor Rindone, to put things into perspective, stated that he was born and raised, in and was a lifelong resident of Chula Vista, and would not do anything to hurt the community. Additionally, the concerns of the longtime residents were not only with historical character, but also to ensure that good things from the past continued, such as the community character, and he assured everyone that he would always work towards that direction. However, it was also clear that failure to act and be responsible would make things worse. The Cummings Initiative had been beneficial for 20 years, but failure to act (meaning development on the westside of Chula Vista), would mean things would continue to worsen. Staff is proposing a way to give the westside similar benefits to the eastside. Their proposal does not negate, reduce, subtract or eliminate the Cummings Initiative benefits. Outside the Specific Plan area, the Cummings Initiative is not impacted at all. The Phasing plan is the same as the Cummings Initiative but has to be digested and detailed out to ensure that development and finances are in place to provide infrastructure. Director/Agency Member/Councilmember Ramirez thanked staff for their report, and concurred with his colleagues that it was important to make a decision, and he did not believe the amendments were meant to bypass the Cummings Initiative, but that the language was an attempt to bring it up to date. However, he expressed concerns with the timing of bringing this item forward and suggested it be tabled for two weeks to allow for community outreach to address issues and build trust. He further stated that he had a meeting scheduled for Sunday morning to discuss this and other issues with the public. Director Rooney stated that although he had not met Dr. Cummings, he felt he was a visionary who saw a problem and took the initiative to fix it. Further, that a true visionary looks forward, not backward, and the City needed to keep moving forward. The eastside development was controllable but the westside is totally different. Developers will bring in new business and residents and new tax increment that could be used for infrastructure needs. Action needs to be taken to start the process or nothing will ever happen and the westside will continue to worsen. People cannot continue to live in fear and suspicion or the stagnation will continue. Page 8 - CVRC/CC Minutes http://www.chulavistaca.gov April 12, 2007 ._~ PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Director Paul stated that the function of the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation was advisory, and to engage redevelopment with the expectation for an opportunity to create an economic value to be invested in the community to improve the quality of life. What was being proposed by staff, was a way to still honor the initiative language of Dr. Cummings, and put another tool in the tool kit which will give the process a way to have findings to help support the applicant, all the while being publicly vetted, and with the City Council making the final determination as to whether the proposal would be a quality of life improvement or should be turned down. Director Lewis stated he was grieved by what he heard from citizens who had been fed misinformation and misled regarding the intent of what was being done. The specific plan process will address the issues raised. Further, it has never been the intent of the City to build tall buildings to overshadow houses, and if the misinformation spreading does not stop, in 10 to IS years, the citizens will be wondering why they are driving on dirt roads. People need to understand that redevelopment is the only way to raise tax increment funding. Director/Agency Member/Councilmember McCann thanked everyone for their participation and stated the updates to the Cummings Initiative had been a long time coming ever since looking at the Urban Core Specific Plan and revitalization. The elected officials were elected to make sure that there is growth, infrastructure, parks, fire stations, and police to name a few. People in older areas of the community say they want more parks, new restaurants, more police and fire stations, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and similar establishments as they see on the eastside. The reason why the westside of the City does not have the same things as the eastside, is because it was not originally planned for and is expensive to add. In order to increase the quality of life, new revenue has to be generated. Further, smart growth will continue to protect the single-family neighborhoods, but Chula Vista needs to move forward. ChairwomanlMayor Cox stated that she looked at the Cummings Initiative, and amending it, as Dr. Cummings proposed that it could be, by a 5-0 vote of the Council. Further, transparency means doing the public's business in public, talking to the public about all the things the Council can legally talk about at public meetings. She then confirmed her understanding of the Cummings Initiative and stated she was prepared to support the proposed ordinance amendment. Vice Chairman/Deputy Mayor Rindone stated he did not think there was anybody on the dais who did not support the proposed safeguards for the Cummings Initiative, and that failure to act and move forward would be irresponsible in bringing new dollars to Chula Vista. Director/Agency Member/Councilmember Castaneda requested amended language to 7d to which City Attorney/General Counsel Moore and Advanced Planning Manager Batchelder proposed and received concurrence on the following"... phasing schedule, and ensures that the funds are spent on said facilities Pursuant to the phasing schedule." The same language would also be added to the findings in A.4 as a fourth finding. Director/Agency Member/Councilmember Ramirez requested that under 19.07.012 A and C, Item 3, after the word plan, the words "and identified prior to the development" be added. Additionally, he requested a fifth finding be added that would read "the financing program identifies the methods for funding those facilities and services consistent with the phasing schedule."
