ITEM TITLE:
BACKGROUND
In March 2005, the City of Chula Vista dedicated and opened for public use, Sunset View Park, a
10-acre turnkey neighborhood park constructed by the Eastlake Company in partial satisfaction
of the parkland obligation for the Eastlake Greens subdivision. The park includes an Otay Water
District (OWD) below grade reclaimed water reservoir and associated facilities.
City of Chula Vista staff, the Eastlake Company staff and OWD staff along with respective
consultants then worked together to develop a Park Master Plan to realize an effective
development of the park along with the OWD facilities. The Sunset View Park Master Plan was
presented and approved by the City Council on May 1, 2001. The Master Plan included
development construction of two soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, play areas, a comfort
station, covered picnic areas and an outdoor roller hockey arena. The roller hockey arena is
unique, being that it is the only one of its kind in the City ofChula Vista's park system.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies
for a Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (f) Existing Facilities, of the State
CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.

BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
At the request of Risk Management and the Office of the City Attorney, a review of the outdoor
roller hockey arena was undertaken. Engineering and General Services' staffhas made inquiries
and site visits to other facilities with similar conditions. It was determined that the installation of
additional netting around the arena, will greatly enhance the overall safety of the facility,
particularly for patrons of the park outside the roller hockey facility. This project would require
an amount of $50,000 for staff and consultants to prepare a set of construction documents for
bidding purposes.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings ofthe City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property of which is the subject ofthis action.
FISCAL IMPACT
At this time, staff is recommending establishing a new Capital Improvement Project - PR303 and
appropriating funds in the amount of $50,000 from the available PAD (Park Acquisition and
Development) fee balance to begin preparation of construction documents. This appropriation of
PAD fees is from the balance of the fund that was returned after the completion of Salt Creek
Park and Montevalle Park, both of which serve the Eastlake neighborhood, as does Sunset View
Park. It is estimated that the total project cost will be $150,000. Staff will return to Council in
the future to appropriate additional funds at time of contract award.
