Dear Mayor Horton,
I am writing this letter to you requesting that Louis Irvin, Cat-Diego Executive Director,
and I be placed on the agenda of the January 23, City of Chula Vista City Council
meeting.
It has been brought to my attention that many Cai-Diego Paralyzed Veterans Association
members, who use wheelchairs, have been continuously experiencing difficulty accessing
Chula Vista City buses. We would appreciate the opportunity to address the City Council
conceming the issues related to these problems. Inoperable wheelchair lifts and drivers
who blatantly passed by potential riders are two of the more common complaints. We
would like to discuss these and other accessibility problems and offer some potential
solutions.
Please send confirmation that we have been added on to the agenda. Thank you for your
time and effort. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
S;,ncere!y,

REVIEWED BY: City Mamtger
Tonight, Council will consider approving grant deeds affecting a. land swap between the City and D.
R. Horton, which is required to acconunodate the final design of Park P~9 and street layout in
Village 5. In addition, Council will consider approving "A" Map No. 3 and companion
Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Village 5 of the Otay Ranch Project. Final
planning and design efforts shifted around slightly the property lines, roads, open space, and parks in
Village 5, making the necessity to file a new map. The "A" Map contains thirteen (13) "super
block" lots, which will require the subsequent filing of final "B" maps and (1) Community Purpose
Facility site. By approving the proposed map, Council will vacate certain existing IOD's for open
space lots and park lots and various easements located within the proposed map. The proposed "A"
Map No. 3 includes new lOD's and easements to accommodate the backbone infrastructure
improvements.

Meeting Date 1/23/01
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the following:
1. Resolution accepting a grant deed of fee title of certain real property for public park and other
public purposes.
2. Resolution approving the conveyance in fee title of certain real property to D.R. Horton San
Diego Holding Company, Inc.
3. Resolution approving the Otay Ranch Village 5 "A" Map No. 3.
4. Resolution approving a Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Otay Ranch
Village 5 "A" Map No.3.
DISCUSSION:
On February 1, 2000 by Resolution 2000-045, Council approved the initiation of eminent domain
proceedings to acquire the fee simple interest and easement interest in portions of Parcel 35A,
located with the boundaries of Village 5, necessary for the adjoining land owner to satisfy their park
construction requirement of the proposed paseo and park P-9 within Village 5. The condemnation
proceedings have been already completed and the corresponding final order of condenmation
recorded on November 20, 2000. The revised final design of Park P-9 (see Attachment 1) requires
adjusting the park boundary. The proposed grant deeds would accomplish the necessary lot line
adjustment between the park and the adjoining private property. The portion granted to D. R. Horton
has been incorporated in the proposed "A" map No. 3.
As mentioned before, final planning and design efforts changed slightly the property lines, streets,
open space, and parks in Village 5. Staff approved these changes on June 29, 2000 as being in
substantial compliance with the Tentative Map. Staff believes that the new subdivision layout offers
a superior product by providing a better grading concept, elthancing circulation and infrastructure
design, and providing a larger "usable" park acreage. Although the gross area of the park would be
reduced (City will be conveying 4040 square feet to D. R. Horton and receiving 878 square feet), the
net "usable" area of the park will be increased by 4635 square, feet. This is due to a revised park
grading, which would allow using a larger area of the surrounding park slopes for recreation
purposes.
On November 19, 1996, by Resolutions No. 18613 and 18398, Council approved the tentative map
for Otay Ranch, Village 1 and a portion of Village 5. On August 4, 1998, by Resolution Nos. 19124
and 19125, Council approved the Otay Ranch Village Five "A" Map No. 1 (Map No. 13615) and
associated agreements. Map No. 13615 essentially mapped Phase 1 of Village 5, which nowadays is
being actively developed. On April 18, 2000 by Resolution No.2000-120 and 2000-121, Council
approved the Otay Ranch Village Five "A" Map No. 2 (Map No. 13962) and associated agreement.
The "A" Map No. 2 excluded "Parcel 35A" owned at that time by the Stephen and Mary Birch
Foundation. Subsequent to the condemnation, the remainder of Parcel 35A has been purchased by
D.R. Horton (the easements acquired through condemnation contemplated changes and contained
deed reservations of rights to make changes upon development with the approval of the City). The
new owner of said Parcel 35A has joined efforts with the Otay Ranch Company for processing the
proposed "A" Map No. 3, of which encompasses all the remaining developable land in Village 5 (see
Attachment 2).

31 13 (124.4 Ac.) 12 (20.3 Ac.) 6 (23.0 Ac.) 167.7 Ac
- Requires filing of subsequent "B" maps
The Final Map has been reviewed by the Department of Public Works and the Planning and Building
Department and found to be in substantial conformance with the approved tentative map. All
required fees and/or deposits specific to this map have been collected. Approval of the map
constitutes acceptance by the City of all sewer, general utility and access easements granted on said
map. The private streets, private open space, private recreation center and private parks will be
maintained by a Homeowner's Association.
Council's approval of the proposed map wilt also acknowledge the Irrevocable Offers of Dedication
(IOD) of Fee Interests for the following lots:
· Lots A, B, E, F and J for Open Space and Other Public Purposes. Lots E and J will remain in
private property and will be maintained by a Homeowner's Association. Lot F will contain the
future Poggi Canyon Channel and regional trail that runs adjacent to Olympic Parkway.
· Lots C, D and P for Public Park Purposes or Public Open Space. These lots will contain the
public paseo linking Neighborhood Park P-6 (Cottonwood Park) and Neighborhood Park P-9
(Breezewood Park).
The City will not accept lots designated for public uses (i.e., open space and parks) until the
corresponding improvements are completed and accepted by the City. Section 7050 of the
Govermnent Code provides that the City may accept an IOD at a future time.
Approval of the proposed map will also constitute vacation of several open space lots and easements
granted on Map No. 13962 All these lots and easements are located within the boundaries ofthe"A'
Map and therefore can be vacated on the map. New open space lots and easements are proposed by
the subject "A' Map. Permanent slope easements to the City, obtained through condemnation, will
also be vacated on the map and be replaced with open space lots granted to the City in fee interest.
Th .........
eproposed A Maptdentlfiesmultlfamfiys~teR-39asa"Remainder"parcel. In the companion
Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement, as a condition precedent to the City issuing any
grant of approval for development of that parcel, the Otay Ranch Company agrees to obtain approval
ora final parcel map for that site. Park Acquisition and Development fees will be required before
parcel map approval.
It should be noted that construction of improvements is not required for approving the proposed map.

Meeting Date 1/23/01
All the offsite backbone facilities providing service to the project (i.e., Olympic Parkway, East
Palomar, La Media, Paseo Ranchero) are being constructed pursuant to the Olympic Parkway
Agreement approved by Council on April 20, 1999. Also, pursuant to the Development Agreement
with the Otay Ranch Company approved by Council on March 4, 1997, the developer is not required
to provide security for any onsite backbone facilities with the "A" Map. Instead, this agreement
stipulates that the developer shall enter into an agreement to construct and provide security for the
construction of these facilities prior to approval of the first "B' Map for any lot created by the "A"
Map.
Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement
The developer has already executed a Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreement ("SSIA")
to satisfy Condition Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 22, 23, 27, 28, 31, 37, 38, 50, 52, 82(c), 83, 90, 91,

141 and 151 of Resolution No. 18613. Staff considers that the S SIA satisfies all the applicable
tentative map conditions for final map approval. The Tentative Map conditions of approval are
presented in Attachment 3.
The SSIA has been approved as to form by the City Attorney and is ready for Council approval.
Developer's disclosure statements is attached as Attachment 4.
Environmental Review
The City's Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the Project and determined that it is in
substantial conformance with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) Program EIR 90-
01, SPA One EIR 95-01, subsequent amended SPA One Plan EIR 97-03 and other related
environmental documents and that the proposed "A" Map No.3 would not result in any new
environmental effects that were not previously identified, nor would the proposed "A" Map No. 3
result in a substantial increase in severity in any impacts previously identified.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the General Fund. Developer has paid all costs associated with the
proposed Final Map and agreement.

outside of the project area. Throughout the build-out of SPA One, actual development may
differ from the assumptions contained in the PFFP (i.e., the development of EastLake III).
Neither the PFFP nor any other SPA One document grant the Applicant an entitlement to
develop as assumed in the PFFP, or limit the SPA One's facility improvement requirements to
those identified in the PFFP. Compliance with the City of Chula Vista threshold standards,
based on actual development patterns and updated forecasts in reliance on changing entitlements
and market conditions, shall govern SPA One development patterns and the facility improvement
requirements to serve such development. In addition, the sequence in which improvements are
constructed shall correspond to any future Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Phasing Plan or
amendment to the Growth Management Program and Ordinance adopted by the City. The City
Engineer may modify the sequence of improvement construction should conditions change to
warrant such a revision. Concurrent with the approval of the first final map approved after the
PFFP for the EastLake III GDP Area, the Applicant shall update, at the Applicant's expense mid
subject to a Reimbursement Agreement, the SPA I PFFP and agrees that the City Engineer may
change the timing of construction of the public facilities, including without limitation, the nature,
sizing, extent and timing for the construction of public facilities caused by SPA One, shall
become a condition for all subsequent SPA One entitlements, including tentative and final maps.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item:
Meeting Date: i/23/0~
ITEM TITLE: Report: Response to Council request regarding enactment of the Mills Act
in Chula Vista
SUBMITTED BY: Director of l~lanning and Building/~/~
This is a response to the Council's request of December 7, 1999 to further research specific
implications of implementing the Mills Act in Chula Vista. Since that time, staff has done
research and has met with the Resource Conservation Commission and other interested citizens to
evaluate methods by which the Mills Act could be implemented in the City.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider the adoption of an ordinance that would
allow it to enter into Mills Act agreements to help provide an economic incentive to property
owners of designated historic properties to preserve, restore and rehabilitate said properties and
direct staff to draft such an ordinance.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Mills Act is legislation that gives local jurisdictions the power to enter into contractual
agreements with private property owners of qualified historic properties. It was designed to
encourage the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of designated historic properties
through property tax incentives. This legislation permits a city to implement an ordinance, which
will allow for reassessment of property taxes through an established formula. Each city may
establish its own guidelines for requirements and eligibility for this historic designation benefit
and has complete discretion over the provisions of the Agreement
Thc Mills Act (California Government Code Sections 50280-50290), is named after former State
Senator James Mills. Through this legislation the State of California authorizes cities and
counties to enter into voluntary contracts, for a minimum term of ten years, with the owners of
qualified historic properties. The owner will receive a reduction in property taxes for actively
maintaining the historical integrity of his/her property. This reduction in property taxes is to
encourage owners to spend more money rehabilitating their homes. If the owner does not comply
with the conditions of the agreement he/she may be penalized for "breach of contract" which is
equal to 12.5 % of thc home's current market value. Thc County Assessor's Office determines thc
new "assessed value" using an income based method with the final assessment being the lesser
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 1/23/01
of'. market value, Proposition 13 value, or the income based value. This state legislation identifies
a historic property as a property that is recognized and listed on any official federal, state,
county, city register or local survey listings that the local jurisdictional governing body
recognizes. The agreement is applicable to any owner-occupied or income producing "qualified"
historic property. There is complete city/county discretion with each city establishing its own
guidelines for requirements and eligibility. The legislation states that a city or county may enter
into such contract, however it is not required that the city/county do so.
Under the traditional method of determining property taxes, properties are reassessed when sold.
However, since the Mills Act contracts run with the property, subsequent owners may realize
greater tax benefits. The assessed property value typically increases when property is sold which
can be a significant marketing feature for the property in terms of future sales and is considered
an important historic preservation incentive because the property will be maintained.
The initial Mills Act contract term is ten years. Each year on the anniversary of the contract's
effective date an additional year is added to the contract term. If either party (property owner or
the City) does not want to renew, a notice of non-renewal must be submitted to the other party in
a timely manner. Effectively the actual term of the contract is at least ten years, but may be
indefinite as it is automatically annually renewed.
Analysis:
Prior to any action the Council requested more information regarding the following:
1.) The number of homes likely to qualify for historic significance designation
The legislation identifies a historic property as a property that is recognized and listed on
any official federal, state, county, city register, or local survey listing that the local
jurisdictional governing body recognizes. The Chula Vista Historical Society conducted
an historic survey in 1985 and listed 44 homes and 37 sites of historical interest; these
may all potentially qualify for the Mills Act.
2.) The amount of annual property tax losses
A better estimate can be made once interested owners are determined and an accepted
listing of possible qualified properties is compiled. At this point the City believes that the
fiscal impact will be minimal. The City only receives $0.147 of each property tax dollar.
Staff believes there will be no significant loss as a result of implementing the Mills Act
program. Further, according to several studies, in the legislation's 25-year history, the
reduction in property tax revenue to local jurisdictions has been minimal.
3.) The amount of staff time needed to administer the program each year
Each local jurisdiction in San Diego County that has adopted Mills Act agreements agree
that once the initial start up efforts are complete, staff time needed to administer the
program each year is minimal. However, initial start up will entail writing the ordinance,
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date: 1/23/01
developing procedures, developing forms, and the like. This may require substantial staff
time. San Diego County jurisdictions, as well as others across California that have
implemented the use of Mills Act agreements, view the financial impacts as minimal
compared to the ultimate benefits that are received by the entire community through
maintenance and preservation of historic properties.
4.) What type of criteria are applied in determining whether or not a site is
historically significant?
To date, preservation efforts, have been pursued primarily by the City's historical society.
Three members of the Society conducted an historic survey in 1985, independent of the
city and developed criteria for historic designation (see attached). These standards are the
only established local criteria the City of Chula Vista has at this time, however, they have
not been officially adopted by the City. These criteria may be reviewed and revised if
necessary when the program is established.
5.) The degree of success experienced by San Diego, La Mesa, Escondido, and
Coronado in encouraging historic preservation as a result of Mills Act contracts
Currently, four cities in San Diego County have adopted the use of Mills Act agreements.
Escondido, La Mesa, and San Diego have all had great success with the program and
consider the Mills Act agreement one of the best preservation tools that have to offer.
Coronado just recently adopted the ordinance, but have worked out a program that they
feel will work out great for the city.
6.) The extent to which Redevelopment Project areas would be impacted
At this time, staff is not sure of the extent to which the Redevelopment areas will be
impacted. It is likely, though, that the fiscal impact will be greater in these areas. This
issue will be further evaluated in conjunction with preparing a Mills Act ordinance, and
determining its applicability to redevelopment areas.
Conclusion:
Mills Act agreements can be a useful preservation tool if complemented with zoning ordinances
and land use policies that protect historic resources as well. For a Mills Act program to be
successful in Chula Vista, a precise statement of preservation goals and policies, including a
specific agenda for future action to accomplish those goals will be necessary. This would be the
next step for staff to pursue, should the Council determine to enact the Mills Act.
Execution of a Mills Act agreement may result in reduced property tax revenue to the City. A
portion of this reduction in revenue can be supplemented via application fees and issuance of
permits for work performed under the agreement. In the legislation's 25-year history the
reduction in property tax revenue to local jurisdictions has been minimal. In making the
determination to proceed further, Council may wish to consider the following advantages and
disadvantages of the program:
Page 4, Item:
Meeting Date: 1/23/01
Advantages and Disadvantages of the program:
1.) Advantages:
Lower property tax assessment for historic property owners
Possible selling point to a potential buyer because the property tax assessment
under the agreement runs with the land.
No supplemental tax bill upon sale of the home or with any future
improvements.
Buyers are looking to purchase properties that are under such an agreement
because of the set property tax value.
May help stabilize and improve the economic value of an area.
For all intents and purposes (i.e. secondary financing) the property will be
appraised at full market value
Incentive to protect the irreplaceable historic resources.
May help foster civic pride and enhance culture and aesthetics with in the
City.
Helps preserve historic structures
Possible revenue source to the city via application fees and issuance of permits
for work performed under the agreement.
Due to specific contractual obligations and high financial penalty for "breach
of contract", most often only owners with a strong commitment to preserve
and restore thek property volunteer to enter the agreement.
2.) Disadvantages:
Requires initial set up and on going oversight by the City
The longer the owner has owned the property the less the reduction property
taxes will be under the Mills Act program.
The newer the owner the greater the reduction in property taxes then the
greater negative financial impact to the city because the newer property tax
rate would have been greater.
Long-term contracts with heavy penalties to the owners for default.
Regulatory burdens on the City and strict obligations to the owners that must
be complied with for a successful preservation program. (Requires long-term
commitment from all parties of the contract).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Implementation of a Mills Act ordinance by the City could have a negative fiscal impact due to
reduction in property tax revenue and tax increment revenues in redevelopment areas; however,
preliminary analysis indicates that this impact would be minimal. Additional staff time may be

required to actually start up the program, but once established staff time required for
administration of the program will be minimal.

AGENDA STATEMENT
Item
Meeting Date 12/7/99
ITEM TITLE: Resolution directing city staff to research and prepare
a recommendation for Council consideration regarding enactment
of the Mills Act in Chula Vista
SUBMITTED BY: Mary Salas, Deputy Mayor
REVIEWED BY: N/A (4/Sths Vote: Yes__ No X )
The Mills Act, Statutes of 1977, provides incentives to encourage the preservation,
maintenance and restoration of designated historic properties. Adoption of this resolution
will direct staff to research and prepare a recommendation for Council consideration
regarding enactment of the Mills Act in Chula Vista.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Background
In 1977, State Senator James R. Mills carried legislation which was designed to provide
incentives to encourage the preservation of historic properties. The legislation,
subsequently named "The Mills Act", reduces property tax assessments on qualifying
properties.
The intent of the legislation was to provide individual cities with a means of encouraging
the owners of historic properties to restore or maintain the sites. By reducing the property
tax assessment, and thereby the mount of taxes paid each year, the property owner may
have the means to better restore or maintain the property.
As of this writing, the cities of San Diego, Escondido and La Mesa have adopted
ordinances which allow property owners in those cities to apply for reduced assessments.
The City of Coronado is in the process of preparing and adopting an ordinance as well.
Attachment 2
Page 2, Item __
December 7, 1999
Among the three cities which have an ordinance in place, approximately 150 properties
have applied for, and received, the property tax benefit.
The preservation group "Save Our Heritage Organization" (SOHO) has approached Chula
Vista with the request that we, too, adopt an ordinance which would offer property
owners in Chula Vista the benefits of the Mills Act.
Prior to such an action, the Council would need such information as: · The number of homes likely to qualify for historic significance designation
· The amount of annual property tax losses
· The amount of staff time needed to administer the program each year
· What type of criteria are applied in determining whether or not a site is
historically significant
· The extent to which Redevelopment Project areas be impacted
· The degree of success experienced by San Diego, La Mesa and Escondido in
encouraging historic preservation as a result of Mills Act contracts
The purpose of this agenda item, therefore, is to request Council support to direct staff to
carry out such an investigation and report back to the City Council with a
recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution.
Following staff investigation of the benefits and/or drawbacks of this program, the City
Council will then determine whether or not to pursue adoption of an ordinance which
would activate the Mills Act in Chula Vista.
