The need for a safe and secure skate venue in the City has been recognized for a number
of years. The City-wide Youth Summit in 1992 and public meetings for the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan disclosed community sentiment for a skate facility. The Parks &
Recreation Department hired Purkiss Rose as a consultant to determine the feasibility of a
skateboard facility in the City at Greg Rogers Park, on the campus of the Boys & Girls
Club. Preliminary discussions have been held with the Boys & Girls Club for the
operation of a skate facility at the Oleander/Greg Rogers site. The Parks and Recreation
Department now seeks Council direction to proceed with the feasibility study and to
solicit public input meetings with respect to the facility and to enter into MOU
discussions with the Boys & Girls Club for operation of the facility. (Director of Parks &
Recreation)
Staff recommendation: Council accept the report and direct staff to (1) develop a concept
plan for a skate park at Greg Rogers Park on the campus of the Oleander Boys & Girls
Club; (2) continue with the feasibility study and convene public workshops with respect
to the proposed facility; and (3) enter into MOU discussions for the operation of a skate

The City currently has nine assessment districts and three community facility
districts, all formed for the purpose of financing infrastructure improvements.
Meyers Real Estate Information, Bruce W. Hull & Associates, and McGill Martin
Self, have participated in some of these districts as market absorption consultant,
appraiser and special tax consultant, respectively for land-secured infrastructure
financing transactions in the Otay Ranch territory and Sunbow II. It is
recommended that the City enter into new agreements with each firm for the San
Miguel Ranch CFD and the Otay Ranch Village 6 CFD. These Agreements also

Meeting Date 5/8/01
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the Resolutions waiving the
consultant selection process as being in the best interest of the City, retaining the
firm of Meyers Real Estate Information, Inc. as market absorption consultant,
Bruce W. Hull & Associates as appraiser, and McGill Martin Self, Inc. as special
tax consultant for the San Miguel Ranch CFD Project and the and the Otay
Ranch Village 6 CFD Project and authorizing the Mayor to execute said
agreements.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The City began utilizing infrastructure assessment districts in 1985 in order to
provide long-term financing for necessary infrastructure in newly developing
areas of the City. There are currently nine assessment districts and three
community facility districts with outstanding bond debt. Trimark Pacific Homes,
L.P., the developer of the San Miguel Ranch project and McMillin Land
Development, the developer of a portion of Village 6 of the Otay Ranch project,
have recently submitted requests for the City to consider forming community
facilities districts (CFDs) for the purpose of financing certain infrastructure that
will serve these projects.
The City has historically utilized the same, or primarily the same team of
consultants for CFD formations. On April 10th of this year, Council adopted a
resolution waiving the consultant selection process for the finance team of Best,
Best, & Krieger, LLP as bond counsel, Stone & Youngberg, LLC as underwriter,
and Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates as financial advisor for all land-secured
infrastructure financing transactions. The firms presented today are a follow up
to said adopted resolution. A discussion of the duties of each firm relative to
special tax financing follows:
The market absorption consultant provides the annual projection of home sales
that lead to the special tax revenue that will service the bond debt. The Meyers
Group has extensive knowledge of this area of Chula Vista and of the San Diego
region enabling the firm to analyze the projects at a depth beyond the macro-
level market data. The firm has demonstrated an excellent understanding of the
dynamics of a regional market place and understands the potential demand
within that market. Through their work on the previous Otay Ranch and Sunbow
CFDs, they have already accumulated substantial market data, successfully
applying it to produce what have proved to be highly accurate sales projections in
the Eastern Territories.
Page 3, Item__
Meeting Date 5/8/01
A good appraisal is a key component in the viability of CFD financing and the
protection of future bond purchasers. Maintenance of bond liquidity and
attractiveness of bonds to investors lead to lower project financing costs and less
risk to the City. Investors do consider the appraiser, its level of expertise and
knowledge of the applicable market when evaluating the appraisal. Familiarity
with the community, knowledge of sales price trends, fee structures and
development costs are the essential qualities of reliable appraiser of land values.
Bruce W. Hull and Associates is the appraiser for CFD 99-1, CFD 2000-1, CFD
97-3 and is part of the existing financing team for Otay Ranch, they have
acquired an extensive background of understanding of how property values
change during the course of the entitlement process.
The Special Tax Consultant's role is to recommend CFD boundaries, provide
input into the bond-sizing process, prepare the Engineer's Report and
recommend the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax. McGill
Martin Self, Inc. was selected for this role for CFD 99-1 (Otay Ranch Spa 1), and
CFD 2000-1 (Sunbow II). The firm is a recognized expert in special tax and
assessment financing. Their knowledge of the Eastern Territories is extensive
and up-to-date. Given their experience and knowledge of the project area, staff
believes that McGill Martin Self, Inc. are in a better position to provide the most
accurate bond-sizing and special tax rate combination that is carefully calibrated
to cover the necessary project financing costs while not over-burdening the
ratepayer and jeopardizing the longer term viability of the bonds in the
marketplace. The Special Tax Consultant will prepare the project's
acquisition/financing agreement and coordinate with the property owners within
the district boundaries After the bond sale, during project construction, as project
coordinator they will perform the district and development impact fee auditing
services. All of these functions and processes have aspects that are unique to
the City of Chula Vista and its practices and policies. MMS has progressed along
the learning curve of these processes to the point where it would be
counterproductive to initiating a new Special Tax Consultant for this role.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City's consultant selection process be
waived in the interest of providing a team:
· That has demonstrated an ability to work together efficiently on past
projects,
· That possesses extensive knowledge and experience in their respective
fields,
· That has mastered a unique understanding of the development issues in
the City of Chula Vista,
· That has proven its credibility with the bond market by providing support
to successful bond offerings for existing projects.
Page 4, Item__
Meeting Date 5/8/0'1
Retaining these three firms now rather than going through a lengthy selection
process will allow the team to begin to focus on the key financing issues early in
the process, resulting in a superior bond offering that will materially better serve
the City's interests.
Given the critical and sensitive nature of each of the elements of a successful
bond sale, staff does not believe the benefits of embarking on a selection
process now will outweigh the risks to the City of trying to offer bond issuances
for major infrastructure that are supported by documentation from consultants
who are unfamiliar with the applicable market and the needs of the City.
FEE ESTIMATES
Based on previous CFD work of similar nature the following fees per district
would be expected:
Appraiser ....................... $ 30,000
Market Absorption ............ $ 15,000
Special Tax Consultant, Audit Services,
and Project Facilitation .... $ 75,000 to $120,000
Staff has verified that these fees are in line with levels that the City has
previously paid and also with what other jurisdictions are currently paying.
These fees are also reflected in the proposed Agreements with the three firms.
CONSULTANT PAYMENTS TO DATE
The total fees paid to each of these consultants on all City projects (CFD
formation and other) over the past twelve months is reported as follows:
Meyers Real Estate Information, inc. $ 13,200.00
Bruce W. Hull & Associates. $ 30,000.00
McGill Martin Self, Inc. $1,162,000.00
Most of the above fees paid to McGill Martin Self, Inc. were for their work on
Olympic Parkway and Salt Creek Sewer contracts. The total fees paid for CFD
related work was $134,930.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the General Fund. All costs will be funded by the
developer and/or property owners and apportioned consistent with the relative
benefits received from the improvements being financed. The City will receive
the benefit of the full cost recovery for City staff.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 5/8/2001
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Approving agreement with the accounting firm of
Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP to provide auditing
services and authorizing the Mayor to execute said
agreement.
BY: Deputy City Manager Powell
SUBMITTED
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~'-
Section 1017 of the Chula Vista Charter requires an annual independent audit of
the City. The current three-year agreement with Calderon, Jaham & Osbom (C JO)
terminated with completion of the June 30, 2000 audit report. A Request for
Proposals to provide auditing services for the City, Redevelopment Agency, and
Bayfront Conservancy Trust was sent to 18 auditing firms. One proposal was
received and evaluated by a Selection Committee appointed by the City Manager
composed of the Assistant Director of Finance, the Fiscal Operations Manager, and
the Treasury Manager.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving the
agreement with the audit firm of Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP for fiscal years
2000-01, 2001-02, and 2002-03, with the option to extend for two additional years.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Eighteen audit firms were mailed a Request for Proposal to audit the financial
transactions of the City of Chula Vista, Redevelopment Agency, and Bayfront
Conservancy Trust (Attachment A). One proposal was received and evaluated
by the Selection Committee based on the following criteria:
A, Organization, size, and structure of the audit firm.
B. Qualifications and experience of staff to be assigned to the City's
, audit.
Page 2 , Item
MEETING DATE: 5/8/2001
C. Audit firm's understanding of the work to be performed and
comprehensiveness of audit work plan.
D. Cost.
Concerned that only one proposal was received, we followed up with several
audit firms to determine why they did not submit a proposal. With the
exception of the larger CPA firms who are performing less governmental
audits, the main reason was a shortage of audit staff several audit firms were
currently experiencing.
The audit firm of Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP, Certified Public
Accountants provides auditing, accounting, and advisory services to numerous
governmental entities throughout California. With offices located in Irvine and
Walnut Creek and a staff of 25 audit professionals, the audit firm serves a
variety of cities and counties throughout California as well as conducting
financial related services to the State of California and variobs Federal
agencies.
Caporicci, Cropper & Larson were acknowledged by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board for participating in the early implementation of
GASB 34 with the City of Corona. They are currently assisting other cities in
their implementation efforts and we will benefit by their knowledge.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, will be $53,950
(compared to $42,446 this year). The increase is due to the addition of
Transient Occupancy Tax audit services which were not included under the
previous audit agreement. Fees for fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and June
30, 2003 will be $54,170 and $57,530 respectively. Fees for the two
succeeding years will be adjusted based Consumer Price Index not to exceed
5% per year.
Of the total fees, $34,375 will be paid from the General Fund, $10,375 from
the Redevelopment Agency, $4,050 from the Bayfront Conservancy Trust, and
$5,150 from Community Development Block Grant.

agrees to provide the information, data, items and materials set
forth on Exhibit A, Paragraph 10, and with the further

basis for the justifiable delay in the Consultant's performance
of this agreement.

submitted to the City periodically as indicated in Exhibit A,
Paragraph 18, but in no event more frequently than monthly, on

City Council approved, on February 27, 2001, the staffing studies that authorized the addition of
11 positions and equipment for the Public Works Operations Division. The equipment approved
included heavy trucks needed for the new crews. The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section
2.56,140 and Council Resolution No. 6132 authorize the Purchasing Agent to participate in
cooperative bids with other government agencies for the purchase of materials of common
usage. The City, therefore, is participating in a current City of San Diego bid from Dion
International Trucks for two 5-cubic yard dump trucks and a street patch truck. For the 12-cubic
yard dump truck, EW Truck & Equipment Co. has extended the same price, terms, and
conditions to the City of Chula Vista that existed on a recent purchase.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the Resolution awarding the
Pumhase Agreement in the amount of $236,183.81 for two 5-cubic yard dump trucks and one
street patch truck to Dion International Trucks through a cooperative bid agreement with the
City of San Diego, and a Pumhase Agreement in the amount of $92,139.33 to EW Truck &
Equipment for one 12-cubic yard dump truck.
DISCUSSION:
In the past, the City of Chula Vista has entered into purchasing agreements with the City of San
Diego for various pieces of equipment. This Council action will add three dump trucks and one
street patch track to the fleet due to increased serviced demands attributed to new growth within
the City of Chula Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds of $328,323.14 have been provided for in the Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee Fund.

performance at Coors, the Cultural Arts Commission did not do a "Community Use" day
performance in 2000. Instead they decided to combine two years of funding and plan to
do a community program in 2001.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no General Fund impact associated with these grants. To date $115,419 has
been deposited by Coors into the Performing and Arts Fund. For the first (2000) arts
grant cycle there was $64,422 available (combined funds from 1998 and 1999). On May
23, 2000, the Council approved awards totaling $47,767. This left a balance of $16,655
from the original amount of $64,422. A total of $7,822 was returned to the An Fund
from the FY 1999-2000 grant awards (this included $6,422 returned by the Cultural Arts
Commission). In February 2001 Coors deposited $50,997 (for FY 2000). This left a
balance of $75,474 that could be used for the FY 2000-2001 grant cycle.
The Performing and Visual Arts Task Force is now recommending that a total of $64,797
be approved for the FY 2000-2001 arts grant cycle. This will leave a remaining balance
of $10,677 to be available for emergency "out-of-cycle" grant requests and for
administrative costs (printing, postage, etc) associated with the preparation of the FY
2001-02 grant cycle, which will begin in December 2001. Any remaining funds may be
carried over and added to next fiscal year's program.
The Office of Cultural Arts will manage the contractual agreements and grant payments
with the recipients.

Meeting Date 5/08/2001
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Amending the FY00/0t budget by appropriating $40,000
in the Fleet Management Fund for an extraordinary repair of a pumper for
the City of Chula Vista's Fire Department, and appropriating a transfer
from the General Fund to the Fleet Management Fund to cover that cost.
./
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ~ Deputy City Manager 2,~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (P~ ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
One of the Fire Department's pumpers has a severe engine failure. This is a front line unit that
needs to be returned to service in'unediately. The estimated cost of repairing the pumper exceeds
the amount normally covered within the Fleet Management budget. Therefore, this action will
allow immediate repair of the pumper.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council amend the FY00/0I budget by appropriating
$40,000 in the Fleet Management Fund for an extraordinary repair of a pumper for the City of
Chula Vista's Fire Department, and appropriating a transfer from the General Fund to the Fleet
Management Fund to cover that cost.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
Recently a Fire Department's pumper experienced an engine loss of power while traveling
between stations on the freeway. The pumper was taken to Valley Detroit Diesel, a factory-
authorized repair facility for that type of engine, for diagnosis. It was determined that the extent
of the damage would require an engine overhaul. The pumper is in the 12th year of its 20-year
replacement cycle. Other agencies have also experienced engine problems around the t2th year of
service with this particular manufacturer's engine type, although normally not this severe.
However, after deliberation by both the Fire Department and Public Works Operations, it was
determined that the transmission, which also has had 12 years of service with no extensive
repairs, also be overhauled. The estimate of $40,000 includes an overhaul or replacement of the
existing engine and transmission with a remanufactured (factory) engine and transmission.
Included in this cost estimate are ancillary repairs that may also be needed.
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date: 5/08/2001
FISCAL IMPACT: The total fiscal impact to the General Fund is $40,000. The Fleet
Management budget is an internal service fund in which funds must be expended from other
departments in order for the section to operate and purchase capital items for replacement
maintenance. Appropriations to fund Fleet Management are made in two places. The first place
is an appropriation for Fleet Management to authorize expenditures for supplies, services and
capital items. The second appropriation (which in total is the same as the amount for Fleet
Management) is made to each division so that they can be charged for vehicle usage. Funds are
collected on an annual basis through each affected department's operating budget. However,
when additional funds are needed, these funds must be appropriated to Fleet Management from
another source.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
Amending the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Budget for the City
Clerk's Department to reclassify one Deputy City Clerk
position to Assistant City Clerk and appropriate funds
therefor (4/5ths vote required)
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Bigelo~, CMC/AAE, City Clerk
Approval of the resolution will reclassify one Deputy City Clerk position to Assistant City Clerk,
retroactive to the pay period beginning April 20, 2001. The reclassification will require an
appropriation of $1,665.54 for salary and benefits from the unappropriated fund balance of the
General Fund for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2000-2001. The reclassification request has the
support of the City Manager and Director of Human Resources.
RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt the proposed resolution.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The person serving in the subject Deputy position serves as an Assistant Department Head, acts as
City Clerk in the City Clerk's absence, and is held accountable for the operation of the Department at
such times. This person performs only those duties typically performed by a City Clerk, and the
duties assigned to this position are more technical and varied and require more independent

requirements. The proposed job description for the position is attached.
In addition, many cities the size of Chula Vista, as well as many smaller cities, have an Assistant
City Clerk or Chief Deputy in addition to a Deputy City Clerk. Designation of an Assistant will
clarify the organizational structure of this Department, will provide compensation at market value for
the duties assumed, and is in keeping with the City's commitment to the retention of excellent
employees. The reclassification request has the support of the City Manager and the Director of
Human Resources.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the resolution will appropriate $1,665.54 from the unappropriated fund balance of the
General Fund for salary and benefits to the City Clerk's budget for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. The
ongoing expense thereafter is $8,900 annually.

ITEM TITLE: Proposed Skate Park Report
Directing Parks and Recreation staff to solicit community input
with respect a proposed skate facility at Greg Rogers Park and
enter into preliminary negotiations with Boys & Girls Club of Chula
Vista for the operation of said facility.
SUBMITTED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~,,~ ,~ (4/Sths Vote: Yes No X_)
The need for a safe and secure skate venue in the City of Chula Vista has been
recognized for a number of years. The City-wide Youth Summit in 1992 and public
meetings for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan disclosed community sentiment for a
skate facility. The Parks & Recreation Department has hired Purkiss Rose as a
consultant to determine the feasibility of a skateboard facility in the City of Chula Vista at
Greg Rogers Park on the Campus of the Oleander Boys and Girls Club. Preliminary
discussions have been held with the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista for the operation
of a skate facility at the Oleander/Greg Rodgers site. The Parks and Recreation
Department now seeks direction from Council to proceed with the feasibility study and to
solicit public input meetings with respect to the facility and to enter into MOU
discussions with Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista for operation of the facility.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Direct staff to develop a concept plan for a skate park at Greg Rogers Park
on the campus of Oleander Boys & Girls Club.
2. Direct staff to continue with the feasibility study and convene public
workshops with respect to the proposed facility.
3. Direct staff to enter into MOU discussions for the operation of a the skate
park by the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The feasibility study was distributed to
the Parks & Recreation Commission members at a special meeting on May 3, 2001.
DISCUSSION:
Back,qround:
· In 1992 the City held the first Youth Summit at which time the need for a
skate facility was enunciated.
· The 1994 Youth Summit highlighted the Jack of legal and safe venues for
skateboards and skates.
· In 2000 the public meeting for the Parks Master Plan called for skate
facilities inclusion in future parks.
· Throughout this period, a history of requests by the public to City leaders
for a skate facility.
· In 2000 the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista postponed receipt of CDBG
funding for a soccer facility in favor of exploring the possibility a skate
facility at the Oleander Campus.
· Parks and Recreation solicited RFPs for a feasibility study for a skate
park and accepted/selected Purkiss-Rose-RSI
Issues
The overriding issue is safety. There are no skate venues in the City or South Bay to
serve the needs of the youth of the community. The nearest facilities that meet the
demands are in the City of San Diego at Robb Field and Mission Valley (a YMCA
venture) another facility in Coronado is scheduled to open in the next couple of months.
There is also the issue of illegality and the prohibition of skating and skateboarding in
our City. Considerable public and private property damage may also be avoided by
providing a dedicated skate venue.
Liability concern regarding public operated skate parks was addressed by California
Assembly Bill 1296 which added skateboarding to enumerated "hazardous recreational
activities" and may potentially shield public entities from liability. The effects of this and
other legislation must and will be reviewed and analyzed by the City's Liability/Risk
Management Department and the City Attorney. The results of this analysis will be
provided to Council prior to any additional requested action.
It is the Parks & Recreation Department's intent to research the possibility of creating an
ordinance requiring skaters to wear protective apparel (such as helmets, elbow pads,
knee pads, etc) at all skate areas located in the City of Chula Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT: None in this phase. Future impact, after public review, workshops,
and approval by Council the Design and Construction of a 20,000 square foot facility is
projected to cost in the neighborhood of $1,145,034. Possible funding sources are
CBDG funds, state grants, fund raising opportunities, and Boys & Girls club participation.

Feasibility Study
The City of Chula Vista's Parks and l~ecreation Department, in conjunction with the Chula Vista
Boys & Girls Club, is considering the feasibility of developing a skate facility at the Chula Vista Boys
& Girls Club, located at 1301 Oleander Ave. With this consideration, City Staff engaged Purkiss

recommendations as to its strengths and ability to accommodate the proposed improvements. Once
the site has been approved by Staff, pending input from the neighborhood and local skaters, the
Design Team will proceed with the Design Process, which includes input from the local skaters. Steve
Rose, Landscape Architect with PurMss Rose-RSI, met with City officials Andy Campbell, Sunny
Shy, Charlene Long, and Ed Hall as well as Boys and Girls Club's representatives John Clingan,
President and CEO and Emerald Randolph, Board member, with Luke Cully, intern, to visit the site
and review the Feasibility Study process.

Skate Park Facility Feasibility Study, City of Chula V'tsta
1. INTRODUCTION
Skateboarding has been a popular sport ia the United States for more than 30 years. According to
American Sports Data, there are more than 9.3 million participants nationally, and the number is
steadily growing. The majority of skateboarders are between the ages of 12-17 and primarily male,
although females are showing an increasing imerest as cities are creating skating facilities where they
feel safe. Advances ia equipment and facilities have opened the sport to all ages and abilities while
reducing the number and severity of injuries. One advancement is the use ofurethane wheels, which
allows for speed and maneuverability.
Many areas were rich with Skate Parks during the mid to late 70's, and skating ia empty swimming
pools was popular. Because of the nature of pools, pipes, and jumps that were used ia Skate Parks,
this was the era of"vertical skating." In the 80's, due to liability issues and poor design of Skate
Parks, the interest paid to skating at these parks diminished, and hundreds of Skate Parks in the
nation closed. Armed with new boards and wheels, the skaters then moved to the streets, and "street
skating" was born. Public spaces, parks, commercial or retail centers, where curbs, benches, rails,
stairs, and street furniture could be found, were the places to skate.
The production of videos showed phenomenal skills that could be displayed with modem skate
technology and vertical ramps. Advances in technology for bearings and wheels, marketing of safety
gear, and the growth of snowboarding as a parallel sport brought skateboarding back into the
mainstream. The National Sporting Goods Association states that skateboarding is the fastest
growing sport in the United States.
In-line Skating is a recent sport that is sweeping the nation. According to the National Sporting
Goods Association, there were 30 million participants in 1996, an increase of 70% from 1990. Unlike
skateboarding, ia-line skating draws youth and adults, male and female alike. Many adults, who
experience knee or other joint pain when jogging or running, find ia-line skating an inexpensive fitness
alternative. Recently, the in-line skaters have moved onto the local skateboard parks and have begun
to do stunts and tricks previously associated with skateboarding. These same tricks are done on snow
by snowboarders.
In-line skating is a byproduct of the ice hockey and skiing industry, where an alternative was needed
by the athlete to stay in condition during the summer months. The first Rollerblades were
manufactured in the 1980's, and this has grown into a multi-million dollar industry.
The closing ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games demonstrated to many a non-believer
the world over the tremendous skill required for skating in the 90's. Skating has evolved into a
combination of complex moves of street skating and aerial acrobatics and the daring of vertical
skating.

2. TYPES OF SKATE PARK FACILITIES
Public and private Skate Parks are again becoming more common as recreation leaders, community
leaders, user groups, and private entities see an opportunity to provide facilities to meet the currem
need. There is also a driving force from merchants at commercial and retail centers to remove the
skaters from their premises. This is also true of the desire to ban skaters fi.om public places such as
streets, parks, plazas, schools and downtown areas. There is the potential of darnage to property,
milling about by youths, potential accidents with pedestrians or customers, and a concern for loss of
business. Often the proposed facilities are the result of ordinances, which prohibit skating on public
or private property. Local police officers are asked to respond to these ordinances and have
supported the development of Skate Parks as places for skaters to go.
A variety of different Skate Parks have been constructed over the past five years across the United
States. The styles generally fall into one of the following models:
1. Open, Free, Unsupervised Model
This type of model is most commonly constructed by municipalities. It involves an
unfenced open facility where there is no charge for participation. Built either as part of
a larger park or as a stand-alone facility, it offers no supervision. These parks post rules
clearly at the entrance, including a strong advisory that proper safety gear is worn. They
are open for use during park hours, are not roofed, and in most cases not lighted. The
design elements include street elements such as benches, ramps, curbs, pyramid, rails and
free s~yle, which includes snake runs and bowls. Each style can complement the other
at a single site or stand alone. A spectator's area should always be included. This model
is maintained mostly by the youths who use it, and they are usually involved in the design
of the park. The location of the skate facility is usually in an existing park that has
parking facilities, restrooms and is close to public transportation. This modelis designed
for the beginner or intermediate skater.
2. Enclosed, Free Unsupervised Model
This type of model is enclosed by a fence, has movable ramps and other elements, and
is often located on an existing parking lot. Ramps and obstacles are modular
components made of wood and steel The facility is unmonitored, not supervised by city
stall'or a non-profit organization. It is recommended that protective equipment beworn
and users skate at their own risk. The facility is maintained by the users, and the city
makes repairs to the components. This model can be designed for all levels of skaters.
/! -?
Skate Park Facility Feasibility Study, City of Chula I~tsta
Enclosed, Fee, Supervised Model
This type of model is enclosed or indoors, fully staffed and is a regulated facility. Even
participant must register and have a parent sign a health/emergency form and release
waiver. There is an admission cost, and rules regarding safety wear are strictly enforced.
The facility offers clinics, lessons, summer camp, equipment and facility rentals, a repair
shop, concessions, as well as promotional events. This model can be used by beginner,
intermediate and advanced skaters. This model tends to exist in large market areas,
which can support the attendance necessary to pay the operation costs.
3. IMPACT ON PUBLIC COMPLAINTS
Local police departments, such as those in Huntington Beach and Temecula, CA and Yelm, Kent, and
Des Moines, WA have reported that there has been a significant reduction in complaints from
businesses and private properod owners related to skateboarding. When problems do occur, police
o~cers can direct the offenders to an established alternative, a Skate Park.
4. COST, METHODS OF FINANCING, AND MAINTENANCE
The cost to build a Skate Park is based on the size of the facility and type of construction. Concrete
Skate Parks run between $20 and $22 per square foot to build. This cost does ~ot include removal
of dirt from the site, off-site improvements, demolition of existing features, repair or retrofit of
existing features, other site improvements or amenities, Architect/Engineer fees, testing fees, or
inspection costs.
Following are some of the ways and means available to fund the development, ongoing maintenance,
and operational costs necessary to sustain a skate facility. These options can be used independently
or jointly with others.
1. A nonprufit organization or service club could raise funds for development, maintenance, and
insurance.
2. The facility or land could be leased to a concessionaire, who would cover cost and, if
profitable, provide lessors with a share in the profits.
3. User fees could support a portion of maintenance and operation cost. This could increase
insurance cost and liability.
4. Grants, donations, and volunteer labor and materials could assist with development but not
necessarily cover all cost.
5. A County, City, or District could fund the improvements within its operation budget,
development funds, or General Funds.
Skate Park Facility Feasibility ~tudy, City of Chula Wtsta
There is usually a commitment from the youths who use the facility to keep it clean and free &trash
and graffiti. Park maintenance or operator staff typically would empty trash containers and maintain
the surrounding areas. Existing Skate Parks constructed o£concrete with steel edging have proven
to be low maintenance.
5. INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Insurance companies have researched the issue of claims and lawsuits against jurisdictions and found
little or no litigation. A similar study by the International Association of Skateboard Companies
found a similar lack of litigation or settlements.
According to the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (USCPSC), approximately
26,000 persons are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year with skateboard-related injuries.
Skateboarders may suffer injuries ranging from scrapes and scratches to sprains, fractures, and severe
head injuries. Deaths due to collisions with cars and falls are also reported by the USCPSC. Despite
these accident statistics, skateboarding is safer than many other recreational choices available to
today's youth.
The following data (based on 1996 statistics), concerning the number of participants, injuries, and per
cent of participants receiving injuries, is compiled by the National Safety Council and the Consumer
Safety Commission.
Accident Levels by Sport and Level of Participation
Table 1
Sport Participants Reported Injuries Percentage
Baseball 36,600,000 437,207 1.26
Basketball 29,600,000 761,358 2.57
Football 14,700,000 409,296 2.78

Lack of protective equipment, poor maintenance, and irregular riding surfaces are often cited as
causes ofaccidents. Skateboarding requires good balance and body control, however, manyyoung
riders have not developed the balance needed to quickly respond to those situations required to avoid
injury. The majority of skateboarders are minors. Six out of every ten skateboard injuries involve
children less than 15 years of age. Skateboarders who have been skating for less than a week suffer
one-third of all injuries. Injuries to first-time skateboarders are, for the most part, due to falls.
Many states have passed legislation extending public/private recreation liability exemption to
6 p~r~iss-rose-rsJ
Skafe Park Facility Feasibility Study, City of Chula I~sta
skateboarding and other non-motorized, wheel-based activities. As such, parties are not liable for
unintentional injuries, provided there is no charge for the recreation.
Skateboarding is now classified as a "hazardous recreational activity" (HRA). As a result of that
designation, public agencies who construct skateboard facilities within their jurisdiction are provided
limited immunity against accidents and injuries that may be suffered by skateboard enthusiasts subject
to specific provisions outlined in the California Government Code (CGC) and Health and Safety Code
(HSC). Existing law provides that public entities and public employees are not liable to any person
who participates in an HRA, as specified, including any person who assists the participant or to any
spectator who knew, or reasonably should have known, that the HRA created a substantial risk of
injury to himself or herself and was voluntarily in the place or risk. An I-IRA is defined as a
recreational activity conducted on the property ora public entity which creates a substantial risk of
injury to a participant or spectator.
On September 30, 1997, Governor Pete Wilson signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1296 into law, changing
the interpretation of liability regarding skateboarders' injuries at public skateboard parks throughout
California. AB 1296 (Morrow, Mazzoni and Strom-Martin), effective on January 1, 1998, adds
"skateboarding" to the list of "hazardous recreational activities" for which public entities and their
employees enjoy a qualified immunity from liability when a person engaged in that recreational
activity on public property is injured. A similar Bill was recently signed into law by the State of
Washington.
AB 1296 provides that skateboarding at a public skateboard park is a "hazardous recreational
activity" for purposes of those provisions if the person skateboarding is 14 years of age or older, the
skateboarding activity was a stunt, trick, or luge skateboarding, and the skateboard park is on public
property, as specified. The bill requires appropriate local public agencies to maintain a record of all
known or reported injuries incurred by skateboarders in a public skateboard park or facility, and other
information regarding those incidents, as specified, and would require copies of these records to be
flied with the Judicial Council annually, beginning in 1999. By imposing additional duties on local
public agencies, the bill creates a State-mandated local program. The bill requires the Judicial Council
to submit a report to the Legislature regarding this information on or before March 31, 2000, as
specified. The bill further provides for the repeal of these provisions on January 1, 2003.
As indicated under AB 1296, public agencies must ensure that all Skate Park facilities are constructed
and maintained in a manner as to reduce risk of injury to facility users. As a result, appropriate Skate
Park design and construction are essential when communities are considering the possibility of
building a public skate facility. No national, State, or local Skate Park standards presently exist or
have been promulgated by any public agency or private organization. Within the skateboard
community there may, however, exist acceptable design specifications and construction techniques
that the community can utilize to enhance the safe use of those facilities while providing sufficient
challenge for skateboarders of all levels.
In the absence of routine supervision and enforcement of safety rules, it may be difficult to ensure that
park users wear personal protective equipment (e.g., helmets, hip/knee/elbow pads, wrist braces, and
gloves). As a result, design issues must take on increased importance relative to the reduction of any
7 lmr[~s~-rose'rsi
Skate Park Fac'dlty Feasibility Study, City of Chula }~tsta
public liability associated with those facilities. Presented below are general facility design standards:
Planning and Design
1. The skateboard facility should be designed by an architect or landscape architect with experience
in designing skateboard facilities;
2. Locate spectator and viewing areas for visitors at a safe distance away from the skaters;
3. Provide protective netting or barrier around skateboard runs to help impede flying boards or falls
from spectator areas into the activity area;
4. Locate walkways at a safe distance from skaters;
5. Provide safe and easy pedestrian access that minimizes conflicts with any existing activities;
6. Test ramps through qualified skaters and safety experts for degree of difficulty and mark runs
with signs or color for degree of difficulty;
7. Provide easy accessibility for an ambulance pick-up;
8. Provide an adequate draining system to eliminate water from ramps;
9. Provide adequate lighting; and
10. Post signs at entrances to facility requiring ANSI or SNELL approved bicycle helmets and
additional protective wear for use by all entrants.
Facilities Management
1. Conduct routine physical inspection of ramp, walk~?ay, parking, and spectator's area,
documenting inspection, repairs, and maintenance;
2. Provide on-going maintenance (~ee of gaps, ridges, cracks, foreign material) to reduce trip, slip,
and fall hazards;
3. Employ and/or contract only qualified technicians for facility maintenance and repair;
4. Post safety rules and regulation for facility use;
5. Require participants to wear personal protective gear at all times; and
6. Post and enforce the facility's operational hours.
6. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION
Site selection can be trying and time consuming. It has proven difficult to get the surrounding
community, where a Skate Park is being considered, to embrace and support the idea. It is vital to
the success ora project that the local residents near a proposed site be involved in the project review
from the beginning. The following is a list of criteria for the evaluation ora potential site:
I/-12
Skate Park Facility Feasibility Study, City of Chula V'tsta

portable building and storage containers are located at the north west corner. An
uphill slope is to the north, while a downhill slope is located to the south and east.
· Adjacent land use, conflicts with neighbors
Rogers Park is located to the north, the Boys and Girls Club immediately to the west,
a downwardslope andrecreation trail to the east, with residential up a slope further
to the east, and a downward slope then a vacant lot to the south. ,4 street is located
further south and residential beyond. Due to the distance to the closest residential
area, there shouM not be a conflict with neighbors.
· Parking
Parking is provided on site.
· Restrooms -'
Restrooms are available.
· Security Lighting
Present in the parking lot.
· Available public transportation
Available in front of the Boys and Girls Club.
m Security
Good due to on-going activities and visual access from the parking lot.
· Site constraints, potential conflicts and impacts
Little, if any, site constraints. A better defined drop off area need~ to be designed
as part of the improvements. There appears to be no underground utilities or
easements on the existing playground No apparent neighborhood conflicts or
impacts. The auto entry and exit is somewhat tight and it might be advisable to
enlarge the existing condition.
a Fast foods
No fast food restaurant is close by.
This is a nice, open play area, City owned, centrally located, in a nice neighborhood that includes an
existing activity facility. The addition of the Skate Park will basically utilize an underused play area
at the facility. The size of the area is ample and can be developed into a nice Skate Park. There is
good visibilityinto the area. However, a drop-offshould be added. There is constant adult supervised
activity happening at the facility. The project offers a great opportunity to add a stand-alone restroom
/ check-in / pro shop / concession stand. Parking is existing, however the entry to the parking lot and
drop offarea is somewhat tight and may need to be widened. There is quite a distance to the closest
neighborhood communities, so there should not be any conflicts with neighbors. Other site
improvements may be required such as drinking fountain, bike racks, nighttime lighting, entry plaza,
shade structures, bleachers and telephone. There is also a great opportunity for programmed events
such as demonstrations, clinics and classes to improve skill for both boys and girls.

Scenario 3 is an example ora project that is built in phases. Based on the approved master plan for
the entire site, priorities can be set to match the budget. In this example, 20,000 of the 30,000 square
foot Skate Park would be completed, some site improvements and hardscape would be installed, the
restroom / Check-in / Pro-Shop / Concession building would be handled at a later date, less lighting
would be installed, and the drop off area, planting, and irrigation would be introduced at a later date.
9. Summary & Recommendations
The City of Chula Vista, with a population of 174,000, could easily support the development ora
public Skate Park. The need for such a facility, as experienced in other communities, has proven to
be a high priority. This priority is also expressed in the City Wide Parks Master Plan. The
recreational return for the dollar invested in the Skate Park will be high as compared to other sports
facilities.
The site selection process proves to be the most difficult aspect of building a Skate Park. Many
neighbors, where Skate Parks are being considered, do not embrace the idea of adding such a facility.
The City of Chula Vista is fortunate to have this site available for its first public Skate Park. City Staff
considered many sites for the Skate Park and the Boys and Girls Club was an excellent choice
because it offers all the attributes necessary for a successful project. There were many factors that
were considered in determining the preferred site for the proposed improvements. Since it is common
12 lmr~iss-rose-rsi
II
Skate Park Fac.'dity Feasibility Study, City of Chula V'tsta
to have several Skate Parks located throughout a City to serve the community, it is realistic to
consider more than one Skate Park, if the fu-st installation proves to be successful.
We feel the Boys and Girls Club site offers a great opportunity for the first Skate Park in the City to
be located. We recommend that the City conducts a community meeting, inviting local neighbors and
skaters to review the site, look over the site analysis, and learn about the proposed improvements.
We will participate in the discussion and present who today's skaters are as well as trends in Skate
Park design. Security is always an issue and we recommend the fencing be replaced. We advise a
six to eight foot high black vinyl chain link with small openings (poor toe hold) and a security gates
be installed. We also put for*yard that a motion detector and WebCam be installed as part of an
overall security system. We will address all questions and concerns and seek to develop a consensus
on the site selection.
Once the site has been approved, we can proceed with public input by the user group and neighboring
community in order to start the design process. The first workshop will be divided into two segments.
In the first segment, we will review the user needs, types of facilities that are being proposed, design,
level of difficulty, size, cost, basis for site selection, and other issues. As part of the first segment,
the site analysis will be presented to thoroughly review the opportunities and constraints"ofthe
preferred site. At this time, input can be received from those in attendance regarding their concerns
and mediation can occur. All comments will be addressed.
The second segment of the first workshop will be dedicated to working with the skaters in a design
input format to receive information regarding their desires and layout preferences. We will review any
plans already developed and present our critique.
At a second workshop, we will present design alternatives, take input, and seek a consensus on the
preferred concept. We will refine the conceptual layout based on input and present it to the City for
further input and approval. Once we have approval from staff, Commissions, Boys and Girls Club,
and Council, we will proceed with development of construction documents. The project will then go
through the bidding and construction phases.
The overall master plan for the site can be developed along with the construction cost estimates. If
the overall construction cost is beyond the budget, then priorities can be established and the project
can be built in phases.

INTRODUCED BY Assenfoly Members Morrow, Mazzoni, and Strom-Martin
(Coauthor: Senator Thompson)
FEBRUARY 28, 1997
An act to amend, repeal, and add Section 115800 of the Health and
Safety Code, relating to liability.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
A_B 1296, Morrow. Liability.
Existing law provides that neither public entities nor public
employees are liable to any person who participates in a hazardous
recreational activity. Existing law defines "hazardous recreational
activities" for these purposes to include various activities.
This bill would provide that skateboarding at a public skateboard
park is a hazardous recreational activity for purposes of those
provisions if the person skateboarding is 14 years of age or older,
the skateboarding activity was stunt, trick, or luge skateboarding,
and the skateboard park is on public property, as specified. The
bill would require appropriate local public agencies to maintain a
record of all known or reported injuries incurred by skateboarders in
a public skateboard park or facility, and other information
regarding those incidents, as specified, and would require copies of
these records to be filed with the Judicial Council annually,
beginning in 1999. By imposing additional duties on local public
agencies, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. The
bill would require the Judicial Council to submit a report to the
Legislature regarding this information on or before March 31, 2000,
as specified.
The bill would provide for the repeal of these provisions on
January 1, 2003.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund
to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide
and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed
$1,000,000.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 115800 of the Health and Safety Code is amended

As Amended August 29, 1997
Majority vote
ASSEMBLY: 58 9 (May 22 ~7) SENATE: 3779 ~Se~tember ~L 1997)
Original Committee Reference:
SUMMARY : Adds "skateboarding" to the list of "hazardous
recreational activities" (NRAs) for which a public entity is
immune from liability when a person engaged in that recreational
activity on public property is injured. Specifically, this bill
among other things:
1) Provides that the immunity provisions referenced above only
apply if all of the following criteria are met:
a) The skateboarding is at any facility or park o~rned or
operated by a public entity as a public skateboard park, as
specified;
b) The person skateboarding is 14 years of age or older;
c) The skateboarding activity that caused the injury was stunt, trick, or luge skateboarding; and
d) The skateboard park is on public property.
2) Provides that nothing in the bill is intended to limit the
liability of a public entity with respect to any other duty
imposed pursuant to existing law, including the duty to protect
against dangerous conditions of public property.
3) Requires appropriate local public agencies to maintain a record
of all known or reported injuries incurred by a skateboarder in
a public skateboard park or facility, and other information
regarding those incidents, as specified, and would require
copies of these records to be filed with the Judicial Council
(JC) annually, beginning in 1999. It also requires JC to
submit a report to the Legislature on or before March 31, 2000,
regarding the results of the reports from the local public
agencies.
4) Provides that this bill would sunset on January 1, 2003.
The Senate amendments delete the Asse~ly version of the bill and
replace it with the more detailed provisions listed above.
EXISTING yAW :
1) Provides that public entities and public employees are not
liable to any person who participates in an HPJ~, including any
person who assists the participant, or to any spectator who
knew or reasonably should have known that the HRA created a

substantial risk of injury to himself or herself and was
voluntarily in the place of risk.
2) Defines an HRA as a recreational activity conducted on the
property of a public entity which creates a substantial risk of
injury to a participant
or spectator. Certain activities are specifically designated as
HRAs. These include: a) animal riding; b) bicycle racing or
jumping; c) mountain bicycling; d) off-road motorcycling or
four-wheel driving of any kind; e) motorized vehicle racing; f)
tree climbing; g) surfing; and h) diving from places other than a
diving board.
3) Provides that the immunity from liability to persons
participating in an HRA does not limit liability in a number of
specified situations, including where the injury is caused by the
public entity's or employee's negligent failure to properly
construct or maintain any structure, recreational equipment or
machinery utilized in the HRA.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill revised the list of HRAs to
include skateboarding.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
COMMENTS : The many public entities and skateboard enthusiasts who
support this bill argue that the risks inherent in skateboarding
are similar to the risks inherent in the other HRAs for which
public entities and employees have a qualified immunity from
liability. Specifically, they argue that skateboarding poses
risks similar to those posed by mountain biking, horseback riding,
surfing and tree climbing.
Manufacturers of skateboard equipment and skateboarders support
this bill because they believe it will encourage public agencies
to build skateboard parks. Many public agencies would like to
build skateboard parks as a means of confining skateboarding
activities to the park and discouraging or prohibiting
skateboarding in areas where it can conflict with pedestrian and
vehicular uses.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM NO.: !~
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA:
APPROVING THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR
2001-02 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP (HOME) PROGRAM BUDGETS;
AND AUTHORIZING TRANSMITrAL OF THE CONSOLIDATED
ANNUAL PLAN TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD)
SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY D~ELOPMENT DIRECTOR ~ ~
REVIEWED BY: city MANAGER (~/~0 /
4,.NS VOTE: 'S NG
BACKGROUND
The Ci~/Council held a public hearing on April 3, 2001 to review and receive public comment
on projects and programs being considered for CDBG and HOME funding. The 30 day
comment period to review the draff Consolidated Annual Plan ("Plan") began on March 16,
2001 and ended on April 16, 2001. All public comments received by staff during the 30-day
comment period have been considered and, if deemed appropriate, integrated into the final
Plan.
The City of Chula Vista is eligible to receive $2,114,000 in CDBG entitlement funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for 2001-02. The City is also eligible to
receive $938,000 in HOME funds from HUD. Combining both CDBG and HOME entitlements,
the City will be able to invest into the community a total of $3,052,000 from these two sources
for 2001-02.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the Consolidated Annual Plan (Exhibit A)
which includes staff recommendations for both the CDBG and HOME programs for 2001-02.
Consolidated Annual Plan
The Consolidated Annual Plan identifies a strategy for addressing the needs of the communi~/
through the use of CDBG and HOME funds. These needs include allocating funds for public
services, community projects, economic development, capital improvements, affordable housing,
single-family rehabilitation, and first-time homebuyer programs. Per HUD regulations, the Ci~/must
hold a 30-day comment period for the public to review the Consolidated Annual Plan and make
comments or suggest changes. This 30-day period began March 16, 2001 and ended on April 16,
PAGE 2, ITEM NO.:

2001. A public notice was published in a local newspaper which notified the public of the process.
Attached as Exhibit A is the Draft Consolidated Annual Plan.

That the Ci~ Council adopt the resolution [1] approving the Consolidated Annual Plan for fiscal
year 2001-02, including both the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME) program budgets and authorizing transmittal of the Consolidated
Annual Plan for fiscal year 2001-02 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD); and [2] appropriate $2,953,911 in CDBG and HOME funds for various programs and
projects.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Staff is in the process of re-establishing the CDBG Ad-Hoc Committee for fiscal year 2002-03 to
assist in the review process for all social service funding applications. A staff report will be
prepared and submitted within the next six months requesting Council approval of the members
of the CDBG Ad-Hoc Committee along with the formal review process.
DISCUSSION
For the 2001-02 CDBG program, the City of Chula Vista is eligible to receive a CDBG
entitlement of $2,114,000. The total amount of CDBG funding requested is summarized as
follows, along with staff's funding recommendation:
CATEGORY AMOUNT REQUESTED STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Public Service Funding $739,362 $317,100
Community Projects 629,003 $144,050
Economic Development 152,144 $49,759
Capital Improvement Program 2,604,702 $1,082,202
Administration and Planning 422,800 $422,800
TOTAL $4,548,011 $2,015,911
Staff recommends budgeting $2,015,911 of the $2,114,000 entitlement. The balance of
$98,089 will be available in the event a mid-year budget request is necessary or to provide
additional funding for under-funded capital improvement projects.
In order to be eligible for block grant funding, a project or service must address at least one of
the CDBG national objectives which are: [1] Benefit primarily Iow and moderate income families;
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
[2] aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and [3] meet other community needs
having a major emergency (disasters, etc.).
Please note that substantial detail on all of the components of the CDBG and HOME budgets is
provided in the CDBG Notebook that was distributed to Council for the April 3, 2001 public
hearing.
PUBLIC SERVICE FUNDING REQUESTS
The City received twenty-five (25) eligible requests for public service funding totaling $739,362.
The City may allocate up to $317,100 for public service organizations, based on a 15 percent
cap of the entitlement funds.
All of the funding requests from public service organizations are CDBG-eligible as they meet the
national objective to primarily benefit Iow-income families. The proposals are included in the
CDBG Notebook under Public Service Requests.
Methodology for Making Funding Recommendations.
In developing staff recommendations, the following principles were utilized:
1. Recommended funding levels for public services was based on [al ability to expend CDBG
funds in a timely manner; [b] submittal of quader reports on time; and [c] review of the stated
objedives as outlined in the CDBG agreement with actual performance
2. Recommended funding levels for public services should not be below levels that make the
offered CDBG-eligible activities infeasible.
3. Funding preferences should go to programs which best meet the criteria of providing new
services to Chub Vista, providing services from a local base, collaborating efforts, reduced
funding requests, and have a successful track record in providing services and expenditure of
grant funds.
The above principles were utilized as follows:
1. Staff used last year's approved funding level for each program as an initial basis from which
to make recommendations.
2. Staff took into account the $2,114,000 entitlement received from HUD and the federally-
mandated funding cap of 15 percent. This amount calculated to $317,100 available to
budget for public services.
3. As per Council direction, staff gave priority to locally-based organizations which are
proposing to primarily serve Chub Vista residents and collaborating agencies. Staff also
PAGE 4, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
took into consideration the longevity factor of those organization's receiving CDBG
assistance, since the main emphasis for allocating CDBG funds is to assist new requests and
provide assistance to start-up organizations.
Funding Recommendations.
All of the programs requesting funds are identified below. The information provided includes the
amount of funds requested, the prior year funding levels, and staff funding recommendations. If
a program is recommended for funding, then staff has determined that it is a viable program at
the recommended funding level.
During a recent HUD monitoring visit, it was determined that the South Bay Community Services
Graffiti Eradication program should be funded from the public services category. Previously, the
Graffiti program was budgeted under the Community Projects category. As a result of the HUD
monitoring, staff re-evaluated all of the funding requests and determined that other programs
should be budgeted under the Public Services category. These programs include Southwestern
College's South County Career Center and the Chula Vista Coordinating Council. Placing these
programs in the Public Services category has placed an additional financial burden on an already
limited-funding category.
In an attempt to fund the current Public Service organizations and the newly classified Public
Services organizations, staff recommends a 15 percent across-the-board cut on all non-
collaborative organizations. This methodology has made it possible to continue to fund viable
programs. Additionally, a 5 percent acrossdhe-board cuts is recommended for the remaining
organizations outside of the Public Services category that has been receiving CDBG funding in
excess of 5 years. As indicated at the April 3rd Public Hearing, CDBG funds should be made
available as "seed money" for newly-formed non-profit organizations.
Please note that the CDBG Budget Notebook previously provided to the Council contains detailed
information about the requesting organizations and their programs.
The following requests are in order as outlined in the CDBG Notebook under Public Service
Requests. The maximum allowable for allocation is $317,100. The Public Service category has a
mandated funding cap of 15%. Staff recommends budgeting the full amount of $317,100 for
this category.

EXHIBIT A
CHULA VISTA
DRAFT Consolidated Annual Plan
Fiscal Year 2001-02
This Consolidated Annual Plan delineates the City's plans for use of funds during the fiscal year 2001-02. The Plan
describes: A) the resources available for program implementation; B) activity to be undertaken; C) monitoring; D)
homelessness; E) anti-poverty strategy; F) coordination; G) obstacles to underserved needs; H) geographic location
for expenditure of CDBG funds; and I) objectives. This plan is consistent with the priority housing needs, priority
homeless needs, priority special needs populations, and priority non-housing community development needs listed in
the City of Chula Vista's Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2000-2005.
A. HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES
Financing Resources
Financing resources for addressing housing and community development needs are fairly limited for the City. To
ultimately reach the goals of the City, a variety of resoumes must be used to achieve each objective. Table 1
describes the eligible activities of a variety of resources idenffified in this section. The limited City resources must be
leveraged with additional funds from private and public sources and programs. Partnerships with banks, nonprofit,
and private developers are needed. Achieving these goals requires community volunteer efforts to raise funds, solicit
grants and donate time. The City can facilitate the use of developers and potential homeowners of tax-exempt
financing (bond issuances), ~ow income tax credits, and other tax credit programs.
The City anticipates using the folrowing federal prcgrems for implementation of the Consolidated Annual Plan:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - the City is an entitlement City and receives an annual grant
from the federal government. These funds can be used for public facilities, services, or housing for Iow-
income (80% and below the median County income) persons. For FY 2001-02 the City is expected to
receive $2,114,000 in CDBG funds
HOME Program - the City also receives an annual grant from the HUD program through a jurisdictionally
competitive process. The funds can be used for new housing construction, housing rehabilitation, rental
assistance or to assist first time home buyers. For FY 2001-02 the City is expected to receive $938,000 in
HOME funds.
Section 8 Rental Assistance - the County of San Diego operates the City's program and will receive HUD
funding for the next five years to provide rental assistance for iow income families (50% of median County
income).
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Act - a variety of programs are available to fund homeless transitional
housing programs and emergency shelters.
~' HUD 202 Program - funds are for new construction of senior housing.
~' Federal tax-exempt housing revenue bonds provide Iow interest bonds for the acquisition and construction
of Iow income housing projects.
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan / 2 -~2.~ Page
The City also plans to use funds through the following State or local govemment programs:
> Redevelopment Agency 20% Set-Aside Program - every year, the City's Redevelopment Agency sets aside
approximately twenty pement of the tax increment revenue it generates from its five redevelopment project
areas to be used for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing.
> Mortgage Credit Certificate Program - tax credits for first-time home buyers. To date the City has assisted
approximately 198 first-time home buyers, The City currently participates in the Regional MCC Consortium
administered by the County of San Diego.
The City supports the application of other entities within the City for programs which would assist the City in reaching
the goals of the Plan. These programs include Emergency Shelter Grant, Supportive Housing, Housing for Persons
with AIDS, Iow income housing tax credits, and mortgage revenue bonds. See Table 2: Support of Applications by
Other Entities,
As other programs from the State and Federal government arise during the five-year planning pedod which will assist
the City in reaching the goals and objectives of the Plan, the City will pursue those resources.
Non-Profit Resources
Non-profit housing developers and service providers aro a cdtical resoume to the City. The following developers and
service providers aro some of the non-profits who have been active in the City and play an impodant role in the Plan.
Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) - Residential, commemial or mixed-use projects serving Iow
income persons. LISC offers non-profit capacity building and pro-development grants and loans.

assistance for Iow- income families.
H. GEOGRAPHIC AREAS FOR EXPENDITURE OF CDBG FUNDS
The City plans to use CDBG funds in areas of the City where improvement is most needed. Many of the projects
assisted with CDBG ara located in the western portion of the City which is also the oldest areas where infrastructure
improvements and revitalization is needed. The City continues to implement ADA improvements throughout the
community as required by federal mandate.
PROPOSED 2000-01 HOME BUDGET
The Federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) allocated funds by formula directly to state and local
govemments to promote affordable housing. Participating jurisdictions are able to provide this assistance to both for-
profit and non-profit housing developers or directly to qualified home buyers or renters. The assistance may take the
form of grants, loans, advances, equity investments, and interest subsidies.
To date, the City has been allocated $5,738,000 in HOME funds since 1992 when the program was created. HOME
funds may be used to provide affordable rental housing and home ownership opportunities through new construction,
acquisition, rehabilitation, and tenant-based rental assistance. In addition, HOME funds can be used to fund
operational costs for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). A CHDO is a non-profit, community-
based organization that has, or intends to retain, staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the
community it serves. Currently, South Bay Community Services is the only designated CHDO in the City of Chula
Vista. However, Chula Vista will be actively recruiting other eligible CHDO's through a Request for Qualifications
process.
The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds used for rental assistance, housing rehabilitation,
and acquisition of standard housing. A 30 percent match is required for new construction. Some examples of
allowable matching contributions would include Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds,
land value (donated or a loan), on and off-site improvements, waiver of local and state taxes or fees, voluntary labor

Staff Administration $93,800
Community Housing Development $140,700
Organization (CHDO)
Affordable Housing Projects $656,600
SBCS - Office Rent $46,900
TOTAL $938,000
The following is a brief description of the above HOME activities being recommended for funding:
Staff Administration
Administrative costs for city staff to oversee the HOME program. These administrative costs rapresent t0% of the
HOME budget. These costs include staff costs for coordination, accounting, environmental review, and HUD
raporting requirements.
CHDO '15% Set Aside
Per HUD ragulations a City is raquired to set-aside 15% of the annual allocation for Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) to assist the City in development and/or support in previding affordable housing
projects for Iow and moderate income families. For FY 2001-02, the City of Chula Vista is setting aside $140,700 for
CHDO housing projects.
CHDO Operation
The $46,900 praposed for CHDO operation costs is earmarked for South Bay Community Services, the only
organization in Chula Vista to be designated as a CHDO.
CHDO Monitoring
A careful evaluation of the CHDO delivery system is an effective way to determine the organization is carrying out the
goals and objectives in providing affordable housing. The City of Chula Vista will be monitoring South Bay
Community Services in the same manner that it monitors CDBG subracipients. An annual financial examination of
the organization will be performed along with raquiring South Bay Community service to submit quarterly progress
repods. At year end, staff will tour the South Bay Community Services facility and ralated projects that were assisted
with HOME funds.

Geographic Location for HOME Funds
The City of Chula Vista has committed HOME funds to various projects throughout the city. These projects are
designed to target Iow and moderate income households at or under 60% of median income. A major commitment is
'the down payment and closing cost assistance to 130 for-sale town homes located within the EastLake community.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City actively encourages developem to set-aside 10% of newly developed units for affordable housing purposes.
The City also strongly supports the County of San Diego's effort at supplying public housing such as Dorothy Street
and L Street. As part of the Housing Element, the City works closely with developem in negotiating affordable
housing agreements which require a 10% Unit set-aside for Iow and moderate income housing. Five pement for
households at or below 80% of median income and 5% for moderate income households. Projects that meet this
criteria are Roiling Hills Ranch (116 senior and 30 family units) and Otay Ranch (242 units). Both of these projects
are located on the Eastern portion of the city. Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds have been targeted for
these projecst, however HOME funds could also be used.
Due to the increase price of for-sale housing, the City is developing a down payment assistance program. Since the
down payment and closing costs require a large cash outlay, the transition from rental to for-sale housing can be a
hardship for most Iow and moderate income households. The City will provide subsidy funds for the down payment
in the form of a loan and will also provide a portion of the closing costs in the form of a grant.
Maintaining Affordable Housing
In 1968, HUD developed the 236 program that provided both mortgage insurance and mortgage interest reduction to
any for-profit or non-profit developer who agreed to build affordable housing units for families. Chula Vista has four
projects which were HUD financed using the 236 program. Currently, two of these projects are nearing the expiration
of the affordability term. Castle Park Garden Apartments consisting of 62 non-elderly units and Rancho Vista
Apartments consisting of 24 non-elderly units. The city is attempting to preserve these units through a partnership
with the apartment owner, lending institutions, and non-profit organizations.
The City also maintains affordable housing through the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP). The
purpose of this program is to assist Iow income households rehabilitate their existing home. Both single-family and
mobile homes are eligible to receive assistance. Currently, Low and Moderate Income Housing funds are used to
fund this program. For fiscal year 2001-02 the City anticipates assisting 40 single-family households with over
$800,000 in loans. For the mobile home grant program, the City anticipates assisting 33 households.
Lead-Based Paint
The City currently assists homeownem alleviate lead-based paint hazards through the Community Housing
Improvement Program (CHIP). When lead-based paint is discovered through the rehabilitation of the property, funds
are used to remove and dispose of the paint chips and to repaint the house. The City utilizes the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Funds for this purpose. The City expects to use HOME funds to rehabilitate some homes. With the
newly implemented lead-based paint legislation, Chuia Vista will be designing a lead-based paint hazard program to
provide information to Chula Vista residents and measures to limit the impact of lead-based paint.
Housing Authority
In 1995 the City received HUD certification to operate as a Housing Authority. The focus of the Chula Vista Housing
Authority is on the development of affordable housing through land acquisition, bond indebtedness, and rehabilitation
of the existing housing stock. The Section 8 rental assistance program will continue to be administered by the
County of San Diego. Chula Vista fully supports the County of San Diego in their application for vouchers.

City Administration
The City can allocate 10% or $93,800 of its HOME funds for administration. These funds will be used for overall
administration and coordination of the HOME Program as well as staff time devoted to individually HOME-funded
projects and programs. HOME funds used for administration do not require a match.
I. OBJECTIVES/ACHIEVEMENTS
1. PRIORITY HOUSING NEEDS
This section describes Chula Vista's strategies for addressing housing needs which am identified as High or Medium
priorities.
Priorities for Allocating Investment Geographically
Housing assistance can be generally described as available throughout the enfim City. Homeownership activities,
preservation of at-dsk affordable housing, rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, and mixed income rental housing
acquisition and development can occur in any ama of the City exhibiting need or project feasibility (subject to
program guidelines).
Site selection guidelines of the City ensure that all units am built or acquired in areas of the City where them is
adequate services such as schools, health cam, transportation and or recreational services.
PRIORITY1.1 Continue the housing rehabilitation, rental rehabilitation, and mobilehome
rehabilitation programs in order to preserve the City's aging housing stock
Since the inception of the Redevelopment Agency's rehabilitation programs, these
programs have served almost exclusively very-low income households whose dwelling
units were in dim need of rehabilitation, in order to preserve the City's aging housing
stock and provide decent places for people to live, the Agency will continue doing
moderate rehabilitation. For fiscal year 2001-02 the City anticipates rehabilitating 25
mobile homes; 40 single family homes; and one rental complex.
PRIORITY t.2 Continue to implement the City's Affordable Housing Program so that more newly
constructed rental and for-sale units are made available to Iow, moderate, and
middle income households.
Chula Vista is very fortunate because a large portion of the City is yet to be developed. In
an effort to gain mom housing units affordable to Iow and moderate-income groups in the
undeveloped areas and to promote a balanced community, the Affordable Housing
Program was developed. Census Data for 1990 shows that the City lacks affordable
rental and for-sale units to pemons and families in the above income groups. The five
year objective as outlined in the Consolidated Plan has targeted this as a High Priority for
very Iow and Iow income family rental units with construction of 250 Iow and moderate
income units (80% and below) and 345 middle and above middle income units (81% to
120%). Medium Priodty is assigned to Iow and moderate income family for-sale units.
Currently, the following Affordable Housing Agreements were negotiated and approved:
~ Eastlake Greens - Easfiake Development Company. This for-sale development
is currently completing construction of 130 Iow income units targeting 80% and
below ama median income households, and 130 moderate units targeting 8t%
to 120% ama median income households. This development is receiving
financial assistance from the City through the use of HOME funds in the amount
of $650,000. In addition, the developer donated the land.
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan / ~.~ ~ ~ ~, Page
EastLake Trails- EastLake Development Company. This for-sale development
will provide 33 for-sale units targeting 80% of ama median income. The City will
provide HOME funds for the down payment and closing cost assistance.
~ Ota¥ Ranch - This development will provide a total of 242 units of which 91
units will be targeted to senior households. The City expects to provide financial
assistance in the amount of $910,000 in Iow and moderate income housing
funds. This project is located in the Eastem territory of the City.
~ Rolling Hills Ranch - The development expects to provide a total of 116 units
and will target Iow-income seniors. The City will not provide any financial
assistance. The project is located in eastern Chula Vista.
PRIORITY 1.3 Assist Iow, moderate and middle income residents to become homeowners.
According to SANDAG and data compiled from the San Diego Union-Tribune Newspaper,
approximately 30% of all households could afford to purchase a single family home in the
San Diego region in 1993, and it is estimated that approximately 25% of Chula Vista
residents can afford a median priced single family home in Chula Vista. This percentage
does assume, however, that these individuals have the down payment for a loan and a
well established credit history. The City assists moderate and middle income residents by
offedng the following programs:
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC) - The County of San Diego
administers the MCC program on behalf of Chula Vista and allows eligible buyers
to take 20% of their mortgage interest as a tax credit on their federal income
taxes. To be eligible for the program in non-targetad census tracts, a household
must be a first-time home buyer, buy a home in Chula Vista, and earn less than
115% of County Median Income. (A targeted census tract is one where 70% or
more of the households eam 80% or less of the County Median Income). The
currant objective is to assist 7 moderate income families. The funding source for
this program has continue to decline.
Reissued Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (RMCC) - The City of Chula
Vista participates in the RMCC program administered by the County of San
Diego. This program allows existing MCC holders to take advantage of lower
interest rates to refinance their mortgage without losing the benefit of their MCC.
~ Lease to Own Program - Staff is working with the County of San Diego along
with other participating jurisdictions to offer a lease program. This program will
be available to Chula Vista residents. Qualifying households who participate in
the program will qualify for a home. Instead of making mortgage payments, the
household will make lease payments for a period of throe years. Upon the
expiration of the lease, the household qualifies for the home and assumes the
mortgage,
> Citywide First Time Homebuyer Program - The City expects to implement a
citywide first time homebuyer program during fiscal year 2001-02. This program
will target households earning 80 percent of area median income. Assistance
will average between $5,000 to $10,000 in assistance for down payment and
closing cost assistance. A lead-based paint program will be a major component
of the citywide first time homebuyer program.
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan / 2 ~ 3 Z~ Page
PRIORITY 1.4 Continue to support non-profit corporations to develop or rehabilitate rental
housing for very Iow and Iow-income households.
In the past, the City or the Redevelopment Agency has assisted for-profit developers to
develop units for Iow-income households. However, these for-profit developers always
insist upon these affordable units eventually converting to market rate rentals, and as a
result, the City only realizes the benefit of their investment for a limited period of time. If a
non-profit corporation develops the housing, the units will be affordable for the long-term,
and the City or the Redevelopment Agency has invested in an affordable project which
will benefit very Iow or Iow income rasidents of the City for the usable life of the rental
units. 1990 Census Data supports the fact that there is a lack of affordable rental housing
in the City for these income groups. The City is currently reviewing potential rental project
applications.
PRIORITY 1,5 Continue to assist mobile home park residents who are faced with paying
increasing rents as well as the closure of their mobile home parks.
In the City, 35 mobile home parks provide housing to many very Iow and Iow-income
families and seniors. Without this form of housing, many of the families and senior
citizens would be facing a severe cost burden for housing, or they might not have
adequate housing at all. As a result, the City has made a substantial commitment to
regulate the City's parks so that the park residents can retain their affordable housing.
Social and Human Service providem confirm the need for this program, as well as the
public response to issues conceming mobile home rants at City Council meetings.
The five year objective outlined in the Consolidated Plan has targeted this as a Medium
Pdodty. The following program represents options for addressing Pdodty 1.5:
~ Mobile Home Rent Review Ordinance and Commission - The City's Rent
Review Ordinance only allows park owners to raise their rent by the Consumer
Pdce Index on an annual basis. Without this control, space rents would continue
to increase. As a result, park residents may face a severe cost burden.
Additionally, the number of mobile home spaces are shrinking due to park
closures. Because of these two factors, the affordability of mobile home rents is
endangered. Therefore, the City's Rent Review Ordinance was adopted. Since
very few spaces are available and park closures are common if the land is zoned
something other than mobile home park exclusive, the City regulates park
closures by requiring park owners to provide relocation assistance to park
residents who are Iow income.
> Revisions to Mobile Home Ordinance - The City is looking to amend a portion
of the mobile home rent review ordinance to decrease increases in rent to
residents of mobile home parks and to tie increases in rent with the health,
safety, and welfare of park residents. Currently, park residents rent increases
annually according to the Consumer Price Index. It is expected that increases in
space rent will be determined by a fraction of the Consumer Pdce Index rather
than the full Consumer Price Index. Additionally, changes to the mobile home
ordinance will require the park to meet and comply with the City's building codes
and any violations must be cured pdor to increasing space rent.
PRIORITY 1.6 Utilize the Chula Vista Housing Authority as the financial vehicle for affordable
housing projects
Continue to assist in the development of affordable housing projects through the use of
tax-exempt and tax credit financing. The Housing Authority is curTently analyzing
potential project applications for future assistance.
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan //~ - 3 ~' Page
A major focus of the Chula Vista Housing Authority is developing affordable housing through the issuance or
supporting the issuance of bond financing. For fiscal year 2001-02, the following projects are expected to be funded
through a combination of tax-exempt financing issued by the Housing Authority and Redevelopment Iow and
moderate income housing set-aside funds:
> .~ain Plaza - This mixed use project will be located at the comer of Broadway and Main
Street and will provide 106 affordable family units. It is expected the financing will come
from a combination of tax-exempt bonds and Iow and moderate income housing funds.
The City will commit approximately $1.1 million in Iow-mod funds. The Chula Vista
Housing Authority will be the issuer of the bonds.
~ MAAC Project- This project will develop 41 units of senior affordable housing. The City
expects to provide financing in the amount of $205,000 in HOME funds. The Chula Vista
Housing Authority will be the issuer of tax-exempt bonds.
> Otay Ranch - This development will provide a total of 242 units of which in Phase 1, 91
units will be targeted to senior households. The City expects to provide financial
assistance in the amount of $910,000 in Iow and moderate income housing funds. This
project is located in the Eastern territory of the City.
2. PRIORITY HOMELESS NEEDS
This section describes Chula Vista's strategies for addressing homeless needs which are identified as High or
Medium priorities.
PRIORITY2.1 Continue to support programs offering transitional housing opportunities for
homeless families and individuals,
The City's annual goal is to provide approximately $35,000 for programs to assist
homeless persons and families through the following programs:
Emergency Shelter Program - The State Department of Housing and
Community Development administers a HUD-funded Emergency Shelter Grant
Program (ESG). This program provides grants to local governments and to non-
profit corporations for the rehabilitation or conversion of buildings for use as
emergency shelters for the homeless, for the payment of certain operating and
social service expenses in connection with the emergency shelter program,
County of San Diego Voucher Program - the City of Chula Vista continues to
financially support the voucher program. This program provides hotel/motel
vouchers to homeless families and individuals through the winter months.
~ Thursday's Meal - This program provides meals to homeless families and
individuals, Chula Vista financially supports this program,
~ South Bay Community Services - owns and operates two transitional housing
sites.
In addition, the City of Chula Vista continues to assist in addressing the needs of the
homeless population by funding the following programs:
~ San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless - This program has
received $5,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds since 1995 and
provides Chula Vista with statistical data on the homeless population throughout
San Diego County.
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan / 2 ' ~/~ Page 17
UU,OUU,U,OUU
~ Lutheran Social Services (Project Hand) - This program has received $56,000
in Community Development Block Grant funds since 1995 and provides services
that include, in patt, shelters for the homeless, transitional housing, emergency
food, clothing, and transportation. Approximately 1000 families and individuals
have received assistance through this program.
Obstacles to developing, acquiring and or rehabilitating facilifies for transitional housing purposes include political
resistance and lack of financial resoumes.
3. PRIORITY SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION
This section describes Chula Vista's strategies for addressing housing for special needs populations which are
identified as High or Medium Priorities.
PRIORITY 3.1 Provide supportive housing projects and programs for special needs populations.
Special needs groups in Chula Vista include the elderly, disabled pemons, female-headed
households, persons with drug and/or alcohol addictions, and persons with AIDS and
related diseases. Persons with special needs have housing needs which include
affordable housing, accessible housing units, housing in proximity to public services and
transportation, and larger units. Because many persons in special needs groups have
limited abilities and opportunities to work, they require housing which is affordable and
which enables them to live as independently as possible. The City funds the following
agencies with Community Development Block Grant monies:
~' Fair Housing Council of San Diego - This organization assists the City in
addressing impediments to fair housing and engage in fair housing planning to
remove such impediments. The Fair Housing Council has received
approximately $152,000 in CDBG funding since 1995 and has assisted over
2,200 Chula Vista residents in the area of landlord-tenant disputes and fair
housing discrimination issues.
~' Adult Protective Services - This agency provides adult day care and attempts
to prevent institutionalization and improve the quality of life for disabled and
disadvantaged seniors. Adult Protective Services has received approximately
$37,500 in CDBG funding since 1995 and has assisted over 2,000 Chula Vista
residents.
~ Meals on Wheels - This agency provides home delivered hot meals to seniors
ebi:fl~,ats ~l~iubrl~,, ~. $50,000 in CDBG funds which served overover
~ Lutheran Social Services (Shared Housing) - This program provides services
that match Iow income seniors with individuals looking for housing at a reduced
cost. Shared Housing has received approximately $19,000 in CDBG funding
since 1995 and has made over 220 successful matches.
~ Access Center of San Diego - This program offers disabled persons with the
skills to seek employment. The Access Center has received approximately
$13,500 in CDBG funding since 1995 and has assisted ever 85 disabled persons
transition to employment. This program does not apply for assistance on a
regular basis.
Obstacles to funding these programs at a higher level is due to a lack of financial resources, the increased demand
for funding from these agencies, and the public service cap mandated by HUD.
City of Chula Vista /
2001 Annual Plan
PRIORITY 3.2 Provide rental assistance (Section 8 Certificates and Vouchers) to lower income
households with special needs overpaying for housing.
Persons with special needs have housing needs which include affordable housing,
accessible housing units, housing in proximity to public services and transportation, and
larger units, Because many persons in special needs groups have limited abilities and
opportunities to work, they require housing assistance which will enable them to live as
independently as possible. There are 2,024 eldedy renter lower income households in
Chula Vista; 58 pement of the extremely Iow income eldedy renters pay more than 50
pement of their income for housing, and 46 pement of the Iow income eldedy renters pay
more than 50 pement of their income for housing. Currently, the City contracts with the
County of San Diego to administer the Section 8 Voucher program. Obstacles to
providing the Section 8 Voucher program in the City of Chula Vista include the lack of staff
required to start-up a completely new program and the lack of expertise in administering a
program of this size.
4. PRIORITY NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
This section describes the City of Chuta Vista's strategies for addressing non-housing community development
needs which are identified as High or Medium priorities.
A. Community Facilities
PRIORITY 4.A,1 Continue to improve the quality of existing community facilities to serve the needs
of lower and moderate- income households.
Respondents to past Community Development Needs Assessments and Surveys ranked
Youth Centers, Child Care Centers, and Parks and Recreation facilities as the highest
community facility needs. With the opening of the Otay Recreation Center in the
southwest area of the City, a number of services are now offered to lower income
households. Focus is now on upgrading current youth facilities.
B. Infrastructure Improvements
PRIORITY4. B.1 Provide for needed infrastructure improvements in lower and moderate-income
target areas.
Respondents to past community development surveys and other community outreach
methods ranked street improvements, street lighting, sidewalk construction, and drainage
improvements as the highest infrastructure needs. The five-year objective as outlined in
the Consolidated Plan has targeted this as a High Pdofity with the objective of funding
infrastructure improvements consistent with the urgency of the established need for
improvements.
The following capital improvement projects are expected to be funded in fiscal year 2001-
02 although not all from CDBG.
~ Drainage Improvements-Oxford Street- There are no existing drainage
facilities in this area of Oxford Street. Houses below the street pavement along
Oxford Street are subject to flooding dudng moderate and heavy rainfalls.
Construction of these improvements will help eliminate this problem.
~ Judson Basin Drainage - The existing structure provides one-half of the
necessary ultimate capacity. Flooding of both Hilltop Drive and Naples Street
and adjacent properties now occurs, which result in traffic hazards and property
damage.
City of Chula Vista
2oo An.u.I Pla. / Page
Drainage Improvements-Tobias Drive/Glenhaven Way - The existing
unimproved channel is eroding and temporan/ bank stabilization has been
installed. Installation of the PCC channel would eliminate erosion, enhance the
flow characteristics of the channel and complete the improvements of this section
of the Judson Basin channel up to Tobias Drive.
Drainage Improvements-Emerson Street- Inadequate drainage facilities in
the vicinity of this project have led to pededic flooding along Emerson Street.
Implementation of this project will correct these problems and facilitate the flow
from upstream drainage facilities.
Street Improvements-Dixon Drive/Naples to Oxford- A petition was received
by the Public Works Department requesting a 1911 Block Act project be formed
in order to construct the public improvements according to City policy on 1911
Block Act Assessment District formation.
~ CMP Rehabilitation- This project involves the removal or relining of corrugaged
metal storm drain pipes (CMP) that are in need of repair and would also include
future drainage projects.
~ North Broadway Basin Construction - This project is shown as a Stage I
pdodty. Broadway is one of the City's busiest thoroughfares. Dudng rainy
seasons, water frequently tops the eastedy curb and causes flooding of the
Broadway "D"
C. Community Services
PRIORITY 4.C.1 Continue to fund public services at the federally mandated cap.
Many non-profit social service providers struggle to perform their services for the
residents of Chula Vista due to budget constraints. Since the City believes the supportive
services these non-profits provide are impodant to residents with special needs, the City
funds these non-profits to ensure that their services will continue to meet the needs of Iow
and moderate income residents of Chula Vista.
D. Accessibility
PRIORITY 4.D.1 Provide for the access needs of the physically disabled.
ADA compliance has been given high pdodty by the City. The City believes that it is
important to make sure all recreational and governmental activities are accessible to
persons with disabilities. Currently, the City is undertaking the following programs:
~ ADA Curb Cuts Annual Program - The City has budgeted $149,000 for curb
cuts and expended $100,000. To date, approximately 30 curb cuts have been
provided throughout the City.
E, Economic Development
PRIORITY 4.E.1 Continue to provide an array of Business Assistance Programs to encourage job
creation through business attraction, retention, and expansion.
The City of Chula Vista has been negatively impacted by the economic recession which
began in the eedy 1990s. Commercial and industrial vacancies were high and the City's
industrial space absorption rate was Iow. The fact that the City's retail sales were
relatively flat despite the rapid population growth indiindicated income were failing or
City of Chula Vista
2001 Annual Plan / ~ ~ ~ Page 20
stagnating. Currently, however, there has been a turn around in the economy and Chula
Vista is enjoying increasing sales tax and property tax revenues. The following programs
represent the City's efforts to address this pdodty:
Economic Development S~rategy (EDS) - The City is in the process of
developing an Economic Development Strategy, a basic blue print for short- and
long-range city development. The goal of the EDS is to ensure a balanced,
fiscally strong community. An 18-month process, the EDS involves input from
the private sector, local and regional agencies and the public and will result in an
"Economic Development Element" to be included in the City of Chula Vista
General Plan.
> Redevelopment Agency - The City of Chula Vista has one of the most active
and progressive redevelopment programs in California, with close to 3,000
blighted or under-utilized acres designated under state law as 'Redevelopment*
Project Areas'. Chula Vista's five project areas are Bayfront, Otay Valley Road,
Southwest, Town Centre I and Town Centre II. Redevelopment activities
provide these areas benefits such as additional employment opportunities, more
housing opportunities, increased property values and enhanced community
pride. Some of the major projects to be concentrated on for fiscal year 2001-02
include the following:
o Carter-Reese Project - This project is located at 760 Broadway and is
a proposed mixed-use residential and retail center
o Completion of Phase i and Beginning of Phase II of the Gateway
Project in Town Center 1
o Bayfront Commercial Center- This proiect will be a 1.2 million square
foot retail center and will be located at the foot of H Street
o Bayfront Village - This project will offer a mixed-use and transit-
oriented project to be located at F Street and Woodlawn
o Phase II of the Chula Vista Auto Mall
~ BUSINESS RESPONSE TEAM (BRT) - The Business Response Team (BRT) is
an executive-level decision-making body that acts as both a City economic
development think tank and an interdepartmental action team for commemial and
industrial projects. The team focuses on four activities - developing citywide
economic development policies, providing timely and competitive proposals in
response to business siting opportunities, implementing interdepartmental
business assistance systems and implementing a comprehensive customer
service training program.
City of Chula Vista
200f Annual Plan / ~ ~ ~O Page 2f
LOCAL EMPLOYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LEAP) - The Chula Vista
Local Employer Assistance Program (LEAP) is a business retention and
expansion effort started by the City in 1999. LEAP's two goals are 1) to respond
to the needs of individual Chula Vista businesses, while 2) creating new
programs and services that will support the local business community as a
whole. To date, Chula Vista's LEAP program has assisted 44 companies,
resulting in more than 400 jobs being retained in the community and over 600
jobs being created.
ENTERPRISE ZONE - In a collaborative effort, the Cities of Chula Vista
and San Diego, the Port District and the California Technology, Trade and
Commeme Agency have added portions of the Chula Vista bayfront to the
State-designated "South Bay Enterprise Zone." Commemial and
industrial companies located within the Zone boundaries can take
advantage of substantial State financial incentives, significantly helping
several major employers, including BFGoodrich and Raytheon, and a
number of planned development projects.
RMDZ - The Chula Vista/South San Diego RMDZ, which encompasses the
entire City, is a joint effort of the City of Chula Vista, the City and County of San
Diego and the California Integrated Waste Management Board to assist
companies that recycle and conserve. Chula Vista manufacturers using
recyclables or diverting waste from landfills can benefit from Iow interest loans
and technical assistance under the program.
HIGH TECH/BIOTECH ZONE - In order to attract targeted high technology,
biotechnical and biomedical businesses, Chula Vista has established a High
Tech/Biotech Zone within the Eastlake masterplanned community. The Zone

BACKGROUND
On February 20, 2001, a joint meeting of the City of Chula Vista City Council, Redevelopment
Agency, and Housing Authority was convened to consider a 271 unit affordable housing complex
within the Otay Ranch master planned community to meet The Otay Ranch Company's (ORC} SPA
One affordable housing obligation of 246 units of Iow-income housing. The proposed "Heritage
Town Cente~' project was to be located on Otay Ranch Village 1 tentative map R-47 & C1 sites
on East Palomar Street between Santa I~ita Avenue and Santa Andrea Avenue (Exhibit 1). This
project, as proposed, would consist of 91 units for seniors and 180 units of multifamily housing
and would be developed by a partnership between The Otay Ranch Company and South Bay
Community Services (SBCS).
The City Council and the Housing Authority were asked to consider the issuance of $25 million in
private activity bonds from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) to finance the
proposed proiect. Additionally, the City was to consider waiving certain City fees and granting
additional credits for units based upon affordability levels and large bedroom sizes. The
Redevelopment Agency was to consider a request for financial assistance for the proiect.
Rather than approve the resolutions expressing the Authority's intent to issue bonds and the
Agencyfs conditional approval of financial assistance, Council directed staff to move forward with
the 91 unit senior housing component of the project at the C1 site and to return with alternative
proposals to meet OP~C's remaining affordable housing obligation, including the potential for
mitigating their obligation in western Chula Vista.

RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation at this time that the City Council take the following actions:
1) Accept the report of alternatives to meet The Otay Ranch Company's SPA One
affordable housing obligation; and
2) Assuming that Council does not support the original projed proposal, dired aRC to
continue to pursue the development of a 91 unit senior housing/commercial mixed use
projed to satisfy a portion of their SPA One affordable housing obligation, meet,
remaining 155-unit obligation by either Alternatives 1 or 2 and not pursue mitigation
opportunities within western Chula Vista.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On February 7, 2001, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend the development
of the original proposal of a 271-unit affordable housing projed, known as "Heritage Town
Center" and the use of tax-exempt bonds and Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-aside
funds to finance the project.
On January 22, 2001, the Design Review Committee reviewed the proposed plans for the 271-
unit Heritage Town Center project and recommended approval.
Housing Element Requirements
The Cih/s State-mandated Housing Element, which was adopted by Council in December 2000,
requires the provision of housing for all economic groups and distribution of affordable housing
developments throughout the City. The Cih/s strategy to implement this mandate is to require 10
percent of any new subdivision in excess of fifty (50) units to be made affordable for Iow and
moderate-income families (5% Iow and 5% moderate) and to balance affordable housing
development throughout the City. The primary objedive of this policy is to increase affordable
housing opportunities in the new planned communities of eastern Chula Vista so that residents,
particularly Iow-income households, have equal housing choices throughout the community.
The Housing Element further stipulates that, as a priori~/, the development of affordable units be
satisfied within the master planned community itself. However, in order to respond to the unique
conditions of each development, the City, at the sole discretion of the City Council, may consider
alternative methods, other than the actual on-site development. These alternative methods, which
include off-site location mitigation, may be considered only when the City, at its discretion, has made
a number of determinations and findings. Generally, the Ci~/must find that using the alternative
method supports specific Housing Element policies and goals; assists the City in complying with State
law for the provision of affordable housing; will not be significantly detrimental to achieving
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
balanced residential communities; and will provide at a minimum an equivalent number of required
affordable units, with comparable rent and occupancy restrictions. Additionally, it must be found
that the new construction within the project creates an unreasonable hardship upon the developer.

aRC has an obligation to provide 246 units of Iow-income housing.

Per the Affordable Housing Agreement (the "Agreement"), 50 percent of the 246 unit affordable
housing obligation or 123 units must be under construction on or prior to the issuance of the
1,840th building permit (building permit threshold). As of March 29, 2001, no Iow-income units are
under construdJon, 1,673 building permits have been issued and 212 building permits are in plan
check and are ready for issuance. The 1,840~h unit threshold could be reached as early as June
2001.
ORC's original proposal to satisfy this obligation involved the development of a 271 unit affordable
housing project in Village One, with 91 senior units on site Cland 180 family units on site R-47.
This proposal is consistent with the threshold requirements prescribed within the Agreement.
City Council was supportive of the development of the C1 mixed-use site with 91 units for seniors.
However, concerns were raised by the City Council as to the unit density and concentration of 180
affordable family units on R-47. Council directed staff to return with alternative proposals to
mitigate the concentration issue by providing only the senior units in Village One of Otay Ranch and
the family units in other areas of Otay Ranch and/or western Chula Vista.
With the development of the 91 unit senior housing/commercial mixed use project, as well as their
continued commitment to build the original project proposal if the Council is supportive, aRC has
demonstrated a good faith effort to meet their affordable housing obligation within the time frame
described in the Agreement. At this time, staff reasonably believes that the Developer will meet the
building permit threshold prior to commencing construction on the required 123 affordable housing
units. Staff will need to return to Council, at a later date, with implementing resolutions to allow for
a tolling of the affordable housing threshold so that aRC is provided an opportunity to pursue other
sites for development of the remaining 155-unit SPA One affordable housing obligation.

MEETING DATE: .05/08/01
Concentration and Density Issues
As specified within the original SPA Plan, aRC is to meet their affordable housing obligation for
Villages One and Five within three targeted sites of Village One. With changes in properly
ownership, it was necessary to only target sites within Village One for affordable housing since the
Developer did not have ownership of any multifarnily housing sites within Village Five.
For various internal reasons, the Developer chose to provide market rate units on two of the targefed
sites rather than low-income affordable units. This eventually lead the Developer to propose to meet
its entire SPA One affordable'housing obligation on the C1 and R-47 sites within Village One.
As originally proposed, Heritage Town Center would provide a total of 91 senior housing units
within a mixed used development on the C1 site and 180 Iow-income family units on the R-47 site.
Council raised concern over the concentration of Iow-income family units on the R~47 site and the
high density of the project.
The Ci~/'s balanced communities policy ideally seeks to have affordable units included within market
rate developments, such as Teresina at Lomas Verdes (only 20 percent of the total 440 units are Iow-
income affordable units). Currently, the financing reality for Iow-income affordable housing does
not support this ideal of mixed income developments.
As California's housing market tightened, the demand for affordable housing development grew.
As a result of the increasing demand on the two major funding sources for affordable housing
development, tax credits and tax exempt bond financing, policies were enaded by the State that
favored projects developed with all units affordable to Iow income households or a 100 percent
affordability level to ensure the production of the maximum amount of affordable units possible.
Teresina is in fact the last mixed income housing devetopment funded by the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee (CDLAC).
Under the current policies of both CDLAC and TCAC (Tax Credit Allocation Committee), priority for
funding is given to housing developments with the greatest levels of affordability. Although the City,
from a policy standpoint, may favor the integration of Iow-income affordable units with market rate
units, this mixed income approach would likely be unsuccessful in securing the necessary financing
to make such developments a reality. Whether or not aRC satisfies their affordable housing
obligation on the R-47 site or other sites within Village Five or Six or even in western Chula Vista,
such housing development will have to propose all units (100%) affordable to Iow income
households for the practical purposes of financing.
While an affordable housing development would provide a concentration of Iow-income households
on one site, it does provide the needed balance of housing opportunities for all economic groups
within the overall Otay Ranch development. As illustrated in Exhibit 1, there are five adjoining sites
within Village One for high-densi~ multifamily development, totaling nearly 1,300 apadment units.
As aRC had originally proposed, the 180 units of Iow-income family units on R-47 would have
PAGE 5, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
comprised only 14 percent of the total 1,267 apartment un~ to be developed within the core of
Village One.
The R-47 site is now earmarked for development as a 174-unit market rate apartment community, a
reduction of only six units from the Developer's original project proposal. The density of the market
rate development will still remain high at 39.5 dwelling uni~ per acre (dus/ac). A total of 1,261
multifamily units would be concentrated within the Village One Core, with 91 affordable units for
seniors and no affordable housing opportunities for families.
Densities of the five adjacent multifamily developments within Village One would range from' 24 to
40 dus/ac, with an average density of 29.3 dus/ac. In keeping with smart growth principles, the
Metropolitan Transit District Board (MTDB) requested that densities within Villages One, Five and Six
be high enough to support the proposed Trolley stop. Should aRC provide an affordable housing
development within Village Five and/or Six, the same scenario of high densities and a concentration
of Iow-income housing on one single site but an overall balance of housing opportunities for an
economic groups would result.

Alternatives for Affordable Housing for Families
With an affordable housing obligation of 246 units for SPA One and 91 senior units to be provided
within Village One, ORC has a remaining obligation of 155 Iow-income units. As directed by Ci~/
Council, staff has worked with the Developer and is presenting three possible alternatives within
other villages of Otay Ranch and/or western Chula Vista to meet this 155-unit obligation (see Exhibit
2)~ Council should be aware that there are a wide variety of potential alternatives with various
options within each alternative. For simplidty purposes, staff and ORC have narrowed them down
to three alternatives, in addition to the option for the original project proposal. Staff understands
that the Developer is not supportive of Alternative 1 while staff does not support Alternative 3.
1. Village Five (R-30a and K-30b)
The Otay Ranch Company is currently proposing a SPA One amendment to split
neighborhood R-30 of Village Five into two sites (R-30a and R-30b) for market rate
multifamily housing development. As proposed, R-30a would allow 247 units (30.9
dus/ac) and R-30b could accommodate 326 units (31 dus/ac).
The Otay Ranch Company could readjust lot lines to create three rather than the two
legal lots currently proposed. One lot of 5.2 acres could be created to accommodate
the 155 affordable housing obligation of SPA One. The remaining balance of 418
market units would then be distributed between the two other lots created.
This alternative would allow Otay Ranch to meet their SPA One affordable housing
obligation within each Village of SPA One. The Ranchwide Affordable Housing Plan
of the General Development Plan (GDP) would need to be amended to allow more
than a 25 percent transfer of an affordable housing obligation from one village to
another village of the same SPA. Additionally, the Affordable Housing Plan of SPA
One will need to be amended to target sites within Village Five for affordable housing.
In contrast to the original proposal for 271 units on C1 and R-46, a 155-unit project
within Village Five would reduce the concentration of Iowdncome housing units on a
single site and within a village. With 155 affordable units on R-30 and the 88
affordable units within Teresina, approximately 24 percent of the anticipated !,013
multifamily units within Village Five would be affordable for Iow-income households.
A 155-unit development would still require a high densi~/(29.8 dus/ac). The higher
density is consistent with the densities needed for transit oriented developments.
The Otay Ranch Company does not support this alternative. The Developer has
proposed R-30a and R-30b for market rate multifamily housing and has potential
buyers for these sites.
PAGE 7, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
2. Villac~e Six (R-7b)
Rather than providing the remaining 155 affordable housing units within SPA One,
the City could allow The Otay Ranch Company to defer this affordable housing
obligation to a future SPA (ViJlage Six). Since the City would not require any
affordable housing within Village Five, the Developer could proceed with their
proposal to split R-30, currently designated for 145 single family homes, into two
multifamily sites (R-30a and P,-30b) with a capacity for a total of 573 market rate
apartment units.
A total of 224 affordable housing units (155 family units for the Village One
obligation and 69 family units for the Village Six obligation) could be provided at the
1~-7b and/or other sites within Village Six. R-7b is ideal for affordable housing since it
is transit oriented and in close proximity to community services and facilities.
The proposed Village Six SPA Plan states that the maximum allowable units for R,-7b is
165 units. However, preliminary planning indicates that R-7b may not be able to
accommodate the 165 units currently allowed due to site constraints. Therefore, it
may not be feasible to increase the allowable units from 165 units to the 224 units
necessary to meet the remaining SPA One and Village Six obligation. Should R-7b be
unable to accommodate the required affordable housing units, the Developer may
need to look at other sites, R*8 or R-9b, as alternatives sites for affordable housing,
The Affordable Housing Plan of SPA One will need to be amended to specify the
transfer of the affordable housing obligation from Village One of SPA One to Village
Six of a future SPA. The Affordable Housing Plan of the General Development Plan
(GDP) expressly prohibits the transfer of the affordable housing obligation from one
SPA to another SPA and therefore, would need to be amended to allow such transfer.
While The Otay Ranch Company would not provide any affordable housing
opportunities for families within SPA One, there are still affordable housing
opportunities for Iow-income households. Ninety-one (91) affordable units for seniors
are to be developed within Village One and there are 88 affordable family units
within McMillin's Teresina at Lomas Verdes in Village Five.
By transferring the obligation to Village Six, the Developer would exceed their
threshold requirements for providing affordable housing. It is anticipated that
construction of units within Village Six is approximately a two and a half years away.
Increasing density on R-7b to allow 224 affordable units (38.6 du$/ac) would raise the
same issues of high concentration and density raised with the proposal of affordable
housing for R-47 in Village One. The development of a 100 percent affordable
housing project is necessary for financing purposes. The higher density is consistent
with the densities needed for transit oriented developments.
PAGE 8, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
The Otay Ranch Company supports this alternative. This alternative would allow the
Developer to continue with their proposal to split R-30 in Village Five into two lots (R-
30a and R-30b) for market rate multifamily housing. Staff is supportive of this
alternative.
3. Villafle Six (R-7b) and western Chula Vista
This alternative represents the current proposal by ORC to satisfy their SPA One
affordable housing obligation. Under this alternative, the City could allow ORC to
defer 105 units of their SPA One affordable housing obligation to Village Six and
meet the remaining 50 units through an affordable housing projed to be developed
in western Chula Vista. The transfer of a portion of the Otay Ranch Iow-income housing
obligation will require amendments to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, SPA
One Plan and the SPA One affordable housing plan.
A total of 174 affordable housing units (105 family units for the Village One
obligation and 69 family units for the Village Six obligation) would be provided at the
R-7b site within Village Six. As discussed under Alternative 2, preliminary planning
indicates that R-7b may not be able to accommodate the 165 units currently allowed
due to site constraints. Therefore, the Developer may need to look at other
multifamily sites within Village Six to accommodate the required 174 affordable units.
The proposed Village Six SPA Plan will need to be amended to increase the maximum
allowable units of the multifamily sites targeted for affordable housing to
accommodate a minimum of 174 units.
Similar to Alternative 2, there are issues regarding the deferral of the obligation, lack
of affordable housing opportunities, and high concentration and density of units.
Attached os Exhibit 3 is a proposal submitted on April 24, 2001 by ORC and South
Bay Community Services (SBCS). To satisfy a portion of their obligation, the
Developer is proposing the new construdion of a 50 unit limited equity co-op in
western Chub Vista. It is anticipated that the development would be similar to the
Trolley Terrace Townhome projed developed by SBCS. Funding sources available for
this project include 9 percent tax credits, the Affordable Housing Program of the
Federal Home Loan Bank, and a subsidy from the City/Agency. ORC and SBCS have
not yet focused on a specific site or determined development costs and financing
sources for this project.
The mitigation of a portion of the Otay Ranch obligation on the west side of the City does
present an opportunity to further revitalize the Broadway Corridor and other locations
that are in need of improvement. Such opportunities include the potential to convert
some of the existing poorly maintained motels on Broadway and other less desirable
uses into affordable housing projects that could also include mixed uses. The positive
PAGE 9, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
aspects of revitalization are however, balanced by the anticipated costs of developing in
western Chula Vista and further concentrating Iow-income housing in the area.
Based upon the City's past experience with affordable housing, it is anticipated that
development costs are higher in western Chula Vista and a greater subsidy may be
required from the City/Agency. The City/Agency has subsidized to a greater extent
those projeds developed in western Chula Vista, such as Main Plaza, Trolley Terrace
Townhomes, and Trolley Trestle. While certain development impad fees would not
apply in western Chula Vista, these costs are balanced or even exceeded by land
acquisition cos~ and relocation expenses. Development in western Chula Vista is likely
to be limited to smaller sized projeds. Otay Ranch is proposing a fifty-unit development.
With the lack of economies of scale, costs are higher the smaller the development, as
seen with the Trolley Terrace Townhome development.
This alternative also presents challenging issues which include the further concentration
of Iow-income housing in the area and land use / zoning constraints. As shown in
Exhibit 4, Citywide there are 41 affordable housing developments of approximately
2,564 Iow-income affordable units. Seventy-eight percent of the 41developments and
65 percent of the units are located in western Chula Vista.

Additionally, the City of (:hula Vista has ],874 HUD Sedion 8 Low-income

those tenants receiving Sedion 8 rental assistance reside within western (:hula V~sto
(Exhibit 5).
City Council's goal of revitalization is already being undertaken by the City and in
partnership with the private development community. City staff will continue in their
revitalization efforts of western Chula Vista regardless of any adion taken to mitigate
Otay Ranch's affordable housing obligation. Within the last five years there has been a
marked increase in improvement adlvity in the western part of the City which is expeded
to continue. Examples of this trend include the Gateway Plaza, the Peartree Apartments
Acquisition Rehabilitation Projed, and the proposed Main Plaza Mixed Use Project on
Broadway and Main. Staff is currently working on expanding the Community Home
Improvement Program (CHIP) that will also increase the amount of new investment in the
housing stock on the west side of the City.

Other Alternatives
While staff has proposed three possible alternatives within other villages of Otay Ranch and/or
western Chula Vista to meet The Otay Ranch Company's remaining 155-unit obligation, there are
other alternatives which may also satisfy this obligation. For simplidty, staff has presented the three
most feasible alternatives.
Other alternatives analyzed and discussed by staff, include the following:
1. A large affordable housing development within Village Five that would satisfy the
obligations of SPA One and future SPAs; and
2. Affordable homeownership opportunities, such as the Eastlake "Antigua" development.
CONCLUSION
Staff reasonably believes that the Developer will reach the building permit threshold related to the
construction of 50 percent of the Developer's affordable housing obligations as described in
Section 2b. of the Affordable Housing Agreement. The Developer, however, has made a good
faith effort to meet their obligation within the time frame prescribed, Therefore, staff will return,
at a later date, with implementing resolutions to a~low for a tolling of the building permit
threshold.
Staff recommends that the proposed 91 unit senior housing/mixed use projed as currently
contemplated should proceed in order to compete for the next tax exempt bond funding cycle due
June 1, 2001. This projed will be brought forward for City Council/Agency consideration on May
15, 2001.
Upon Council's diredion, staff further analyzed the issues of density and concentration within
Otay Ranch related to the remaining 155-unit affordable housing obligation and evaluated
alternatives to mitigate these concerns. As discussed previously, all of the multifamily sites within
Village One, Five and Six are planned for high densities, ranging from 24 to 40 dus/ac, in order
to support the proposed Trolley line. Therefore, the original proposal for 180 affordable family
units on R-47 (41dus/ac) is consistent with the densities of the surrounding properties and the
allowed density for that site (40 dus/ac). Whether a multifamily proied is developed as market
rate or affordable, the allowable densities and the plan for transit-oriented developments wilt
result in high density developments.
Additionally, affordable housing projects must be developed with all units (100%) targeted for Iow
income households in order to secure financing from the two major programs available for
affordable housing development (tax credits and tax exempt bond financing). The original
project proposed all 91 units for seniors and 180 units for families be affordable to Iow income
households in keeping with the policies of these ~wo funding sources. Any alternative proposal to
meet ORC's remaining 155-unit obligation will also be proposed with all units as affordable to
Iow income households (100% affordability).
PAGE 11, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 05/08/01
Staff believes that there are other opportunities within the Otay Ranch master planned community
as possible alternatives to the R-47 site to meet the ORC's remaining SPA One affordable
housing obligation. Furthermore, aRC and SBCS have not yet identified a feasible project in
western Chula Vista to mitigate a portion of the Developer's obligation. Therefore, staff
recommends that no mitigation opportunities be pursued within western Chub Vista. Assuming
that the City Council does not support the original project proposal for 180 affordable family
units on R-47 within Village One, staff further recommends that the remaining 155-unit
affordable housing obligation be met through Alternatives 1 or 2.
In accordance with the City's Housing Element Policy 3.3.2 Affordable Housing Requirement, it is
staff's position that the new construction of a project within the Otay Ranch master planned
community to satisfy the Developer's affordable housing obligation does not create an
unreasonable hardship. Staff further finds that allowing the transfer of this obligation to western
Chula Vista would be significantly detrimental to achieving balanced residential communities by
limiting housing opportunities available for Iow-income households within eastern Chub Vista and
further aggravating the concentration of ~ow-income housing in western Chula Vista.

HBP, ITAGB VILLAGE W~ST SIDE PROPOSAL
We arc proposing to build an approxlm ately 50-unit limited equity co-op on the Westside
of Chula Vista as part of Otay Ranch's affordable housing obligation.
The Co-op will be similar to tile successful Trolley Terrace Town homes cu~ently in
plaoe.
This alternative gives residents the oppommity to own a percentage of the project after
the tax credit obligation has been met. Until that time thc project functions in a similar
manner to a fttll co - op. Residents receive trd~,i,~ing in co.op management, leada~dp
skills, community involvement and other areas relative to budgetirtg and financial
management.
The p~rtnershlp hopes to fund this with a 9% tax credit, Affordable Housing Program
funds through the Federal Home Loan Bank and other affordable homing funds
resources. The 9% credits and AI-IP will be possible if we build with{~ a Rextcvelopmcnt
Zone.
We are currently looking at vmious sites along the Broadway cmridor that include empty
lots and rundown motels.
Obviously the development of this project will improve the West. side aesthetically. More
importantly the resident oversight and leadership training will assist in building the
leadership capacity of the resid~ts of the ooq~p. We have also started to meet with the
Dream School principal to discuss a partnership between Heritage Village West and the
school. This partnership is centered around building thc commullity leadership capacity
of Westside res/dents. Children in the co-op will be able to attend this new 600-student
school, and Heritage Village West will involve the resident~ in the commtmity s~rvJ, ce
learning opportunities at thc school and at the co-op itself. Various educational and
Raining workshops will be sponsored by the co-op and some v'ill be in partnership with
the School.
In conclusion, this will not only be an affordable housing co-op but it will also be a center
for commmlity ser~ce learning and leadership development opport,mities, and other
Westside residents will also have access to these opportunities.

Re: Proposed Olay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan; TCM 91-08
Honorable Mayor Horton and Councilmembers:
Yhis firm represents Olay Land Company, LI.C. the owner of properly within Olay Ranch
subject to the draft Olay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan ("Concept Plan"), including thc Bird
Ranch/Gun Club site identified as Recreation Areal/lO. Olay Land Company generally supports
the draft Concept Plan and the goal of protecting, environmentally sensitive areas while
respecting property rights and recognizing thc plans and policies embodied in the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan CGDP").
Our specific comments are as follows:
1. The Concept Plan should clarify that it will be necessary to build roads and install
other public facilities within the Focused Planning Area ("FPA") to allow the planned
development of Otay Ranch and to access pnvme property within the FPA.
? The Concept Plan does not refer lo the ongoing watershed sludies within the FPA
being c~ducted by the City and County of San Diego with support from the Army Corps of
Engineers. To the extent that the watershed study will affect the Concept Plan or development
under the GDP. these issues should be addressed.
3. At Page 44, thc Concept Plan indicates that the Bird Ranck/Gun Club s:te has
been disturbed by ongoing agricultural and other development activities. The statement
appearing as the last sentence of Page 46 reads:
Lute Forward et. al. 5/15/01 4:03: PAGE 3/3 RightFA×
Honorable Mayor Horton and Councilmembers
May 15, 2001
Page 2
"However, the habitat and wildli f~ corridor value of the site have
not been determined at this time and further study is needed before
the site can be designated for recreational or other uses."
The Gun Club/Bird Ranch site is heavily disturbed and does not support sensitive biological
resources. Indeed, the entire ownership of Otay I,and Company within the FPA has been well
studied with regard to biological resources (for example, the GDP, Otay Ranch EIR, County
MSCP and City MSCP). The Concept Plan sbo.ld reflect that the Gun Club/Bird Ranch is
suitable for development which will not adversely impact habitat and wildlife corridor values.
(4) Thc Gun Club/Bird Ranch site is identified as a property targeted for acquisition
for active recreational uses within the Concept Plan. The Otay Land Company and
representatives of the City/County have had discussions regarding the possible sale of the site for
public uses consistent with the Concept Plan. No agreement has yet been reached, in this
regard, thc Acquisition Policies begi~ming on page 24 of Concept Plan provide scant detail
concerning funding sources for park land acquisttion orthe timing of such acquisitions. Otay
Land Company will continue its discussions with City/County representatives, however, pcndmg
the approval of a purchase agreemcnt fer thc site Olay Land Company intends to process
appropriate applications for the private development of the property.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments. Please feel free to contact me if you have
any questions.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
May 8, 2001
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: David D. Rowlands, f~ty Manager
FROM: Michael T. Meacham, Special Operations Manager ~
SUBJECT: Council Meeting Broadcasts Over Cable Television
BACKGROUND:
On September 14, 1999 the Council approved an extension of the franchise agreement with
modifications between the City and Cox Communications. The agreement became effective on
October 15, 1999. Among the modifications in the agreement is a requirement that the City accept the
"re-zoning" of the City Council meeting broadcasts, which would limit the broadcast to Cox customers
within Chula Vista. Currently Chula Vista Council broadcasts appear on the public access channel
(24) twenty-four and pre-empt public access broadcasts in the same time period in other parts of the
county. Cox has stated that all other cities within the county except the City of San Diego have been
moved to the Government Access Channel (Channel, 17), and are zoned to broadcast only within their
respective jurisdictions.
DISCUSSION:
Any City Council meetings and activities broadcast on behalf of the City by Cox before May 30, 2001
will continue to be broadcast on Channel 24 and may be seen in cities outside of Chula Vista. Any
City Council meetings or activities broadcast after May 30, 2001 will appear on Channel 17 and will
no longer appear in cities outside of Chula Vista. However, to insure that all Chula Vista subscribers
receive the Chula Vista governmental channel, a limited number of subscribers in the County and City
of San Diego neighborhoods adjacent to the City of Chula Vista may receive the broadcast.
To assist the City and potential viewers with the transition Cox Communications has committed to: 1)
placing a message on the next round of Cox Communications monthly invoices that notifies viewers of
the change from channel 17 to channel 24, 2) temporarily placing a message at the beginning of the
time slot currently occupied by the City Council broadcasts that directs viewers to Channel 17 to view
the Chula Vista broadcast, and 3) place a character notice at the beginning and end of current Chula
Vista broadcasts that notify viewers of the pending change.
Staffwill add a message to the public service announcements and item titles that appear at the bottom
of the screen during City Council broadcasts that will direct the public to Channel 17 after June 1,
2001. Staffwill also add the information to the summer issue of the Spotlight that will be sent to
households in late June and will promote additional public awareness through media releases and other
special event opportunities. Please feel free to contact the Special Operations Manager at 409-5870 if
you have any questions about the proposed broadcast change.
