SUBJECT:
Honorable Mayor and City Council

Potential partnership and funding for the Otay Valley Regional Park
In August of 2007, Mayor Cox directed that I facilitate and participate in a series of
meetings between the Sacramento-based Resources Legacy Fund (RLF), the Planning
Department, and Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) staff. Meetings with other non-
profit organizations involved with the OVRP, as well as County management and City of
San Diego staff were also arranged. These meetings provided a strategic approach to
obtain significant funding from bon,d acts approved by voters in November 2006 and
other funding sources for the purchase, improvement, and restoration of lands within the
Otay Valley Regional Park.
The goal is to create a state wide effort within the next few years by leveraging state
bond monies to obtain outside grants and foundation monies aimed at carrying out the
vision of the OVRP. RLF will assist the City in identifying all possible funding sources
from existing State bonds and help secure these monies. Through this effort, several
million dollars are potentially available for the OVRP.
RLF is a nonprofit organization that works with foundations and philanthropists to
advance conservation in California. RLF provides expertise to cities in support of
establishing river parkways in urban communities. This service is provided without cost.
RLF's work is funded by numerous large foundations including the Goldman Fund, the
Hewlett Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation. RLF has provided expertise to this region in the past; working with
Assemblywoman Ducheny and Supervisor Cox. RLF was' instrumental in facilitating
acquisition of the Fenton property.

REGULATORY TAKINGS
PROVISIONS
IMPACT ON
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONS AND
LAND-USE
REGULATION
Prop. 98
(Rent Control Rollback)
"
Contrary to claims by 98 proponents, buried in
definitions section of initiative are new constitutional
changes that would prohibit certain regulatory actions
regulating use of real property.
Section 19(b)(3) prohibits "regulation of the ownership,
occupancy or use of privatel)' owned real property or
associated properly rights in order to transfer economic
benefit to one or more private persons at the expense of
the property owner",
According to an analysis conducted by one of the state's
leading environmental law firms, Shute, Mihaly &
\\leinberger, "nearly all regulation provides an
economic benefit to some private person. Accordingly,
although the Initiative is ambiguous in several
signiticant .Ireas, a court could interpret it to restrict a
host of environmental and land use regulations..."

I" Prop. 98 changes existing law and would wreak h~voc on
i local land-use planning and environmental protections.
II" According to the Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger analysis,
"there is a substantial risk... that (the initiative)
I would be broadly construed to prevent the
'j enforcement of HUIlY existing environmental
I regulations as well as the adoption of new laws and
policies to protect the ellvironment".
I" SMW legal analysis also warns that Prop. 98 "appears to
I' impair a broader class of environmental prutections
thall did }lroposition 90."
i" Unlike Proposition 90 (which required compensationfor
! regulations that caused economIC damages)) PrOpOSitIOn
I 98 outright f)/'oilihils such laws and regulations that
! "transfer economic benefits",

I
I
I
,
ProJl. 99
(Homeowner Protection Act)
No change and no impact on public watcr projccts or
any other traditional public works project.
.
Prop. 98 would prohibit the use of eminent domain to
acquire land and water to develop rJ1lblic watcr projects.
The Association of California Waler Agencies warns
Prop. 98 could "derail efforts to build the inji-astructure
and other wafer projects we need 10 ensure an adequate
supplyafsafe, clean drinking water."
The Western Growers Association warns Prop. 98 could
"block future deJ1clopmcIlt ofslllface wilter storage and
conveyance. "
.
Measure preserves ability to protect public health and
safety.
Prop. 99 contains specitic public health and safety
exemptions to eminent domain restrictions. Language
permits the use of eminent domain to protect public
health and safety; preventing seriolls and repeated r
criminal activity; response to an emergency; and to I
remedy environmental contamination. Proposed See J
19(i).
PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY EXEMPTIONS
.
.
.
That's because Prop. 98~s proposed amendment to
Section 19(a) of the constitution prohibits the taking of
private property for "priv<ltc use. II Proposed section
19(b)(3)(ii) defines "private use" as including: tral/sfer of
OIvllership, occupancy ur lIse (~f private property or
as:mciated jll'opel'(J' rights to a public agency for the
consumption of natural rC,\'OUl'ces or for the same or a
substantially similar Lise as that made by the private
owner; (Emphasis added.)
Since virtually all elements ofa public water projcct
involve the Itconsumption of natural resources", Prop. 98
would prohibit property acquisitions for public water
projects.
.
.
Changes to Section 19(b)(3) contain I/O exee{!tionsfo/'
actions taken to protect health alld safe{)J.
Land-use decisions (such as restrictions on building in
unsafe areas, or zoning decisions to protect residents from
undesirable or unsafe businesses) could be ruled
prohibited under Proposition 98.
