On October 1, 2001, the City received three proposals to perform pavement testing and
management services, and on October 15, 2001, all three consultant firms were
interviewed. Infrastructure Management Services, Inc. (IMS) was selected as the most
qualified of the three firms that responded to the request for proposals. IMS performed
the original pavement testing for the City of Chula Vista in the late 1980's, and in staff s
opinion IMS can most efficiently and effectively update the current Pavement
Management System data in a manner, which is fully compatible with our existing
system. (Director of Public Works)

APPROPRIATiNG $68,950 FROM THE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE OF THE

THE STOREFRONT RENOVATION PROGRAM (4/5THS VOTE REQUIRED)
The Storefront Renovation Program was funded by an original appropriation of $85,000
in November 2000. Due to the nature of the program, it was anticipated that the initial
appropriation would be sufficient for the first two to three years of the program. It was
intended that the remaining balance from the original program funds would be continued
into the budget for 2001/2002; however, they were not included. Adoption of the
resolution will remedy this situation. Subtracting funds spent from the original
appropriation to date, $68,950 is the necessary amount to refund the program at its
original appropriation amount. (Director of Community Development)
Staff recommendation: Council adopt the resolution.

Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property, excluding any Assessor's Parcels classified
as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E, at up to 100% of the Maximum Annual

a building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes
with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an
Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall

As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1.
For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax
for that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed
Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that
Assessor's Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Public Property to be prepaid,
compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel using the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2.
Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds
to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the" Bond
Redemption Amount").
4.
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
(the "Redemption Premium").
5.
Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.

Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and Expenses
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
9.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
10. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area
A, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the
prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees
and Expenses").
11. The reserve fund credit (the" Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
12.
If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal
Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit") .
13. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed
pursuant to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4,
9, 11, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No.

The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under paragraph 7 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to
any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Board shall cause a suitable notice to be
recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the
release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property
within CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area A both prior to and after the proposed
prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding
Bonds.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of Maximum Annual Special Taxes may be accepted
upon the terms and conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However,
the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically
approved by the Council.
2.
Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H.l; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:
PP = (PE X F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.l, minus Administrative
Expenses and Fees pursuant to Step 10.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.

rate up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property, excluding any Assessor's Parcels classified
as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E, at up to 100% of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's
Parcel whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the application of the Backup
Special Tax and shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to
the Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor's Parcel classified as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E at up
to 100% of the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any
Assessor's Parcel of Occupied Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent
per year as a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by the

Public Property, (ii) Assessor's Parcels defined as Property Owner Association Property,
(iii) Assessor's Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad
valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor's
Parcels defined as Community Purpose Facility Property or (v) Assessor's Parcels with
public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes
set forth in the easement, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all
Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres. Notwithstanding the above, the CFD
Administrator shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as exempt property if such
classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres.
Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as exempt property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres
will be classified as Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed as a part of the fourth step in
Section D.
Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order
in which property becomes exempt property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation for any Public Property which cannot be classified as exempt property as
described in the first paragraph of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant
to Section H.l, prior to the transfer/dedication of such property. Until the Maximum
Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid, the property shall
continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as Undeveloped Property pursuant to
the fourth step in Section D..
F.
REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
The Council shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of CFD No. 2001-

administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein
specified. The decision of the Review/ Appeal Committee shall be final and binding as to
all persons.

MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2001-1,
Improvement Area B may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a
different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and
may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on Assessor's Parcels which are
delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond
tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
Council.
H.
PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definition applies to this Section H:
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1.
Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied by an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which
a building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes
with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an
Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall
provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this figure.

The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Total:
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1.
For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax
for that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed
Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that
Assessor's Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Public Property to be prepaid,
compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel using the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2.
Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds
to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
4.
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
(the "Redemption Premium").
15. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
16. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.

17. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which have not yet been paid.
18. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and Expenses
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
19.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
20.
Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area
B, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the
prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees
and Expenses").
21. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
22. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal
Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
23. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed
pursuant to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
24. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4,
9, 11, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No.

The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under paragraph 7 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to
any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Board shall cause a suitable notice to be
recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the
release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property
within CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area B both prior to and after the proposed
prepayment is at least 1. 1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding
Bonds.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of Maximum Annual Special Taxes may be accepted
upon the terms and conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However,
the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically
approved by the Council.
2.
Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H.I; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:
PP = (PEX F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.l, minus Administrative
Expenses and Fees pursuant to Step 10.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.
A = the Administrative Expenses and Fees pursuant to Step 10.

records of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area B that there has been a partial prepayment
of the Maximum Annual Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special
Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Annual

REVIEWED BY: Ity anager~~ D~
(4/5thsVote: Yes_NoX)
On January 25,2000, the City Council held a public hearing and approved Resolution No. 2000-027
establishing Underground Utility District No. 131, along Fourth Avenue, from "H" Street to "L"
Street. In accordance with Section 15.32.150 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, Resolution 2000-
027 states that the City Council shall by subsequent resolution, set the date upon which affected
property owners must be ready to receive underground service and the date by which SDG&E shall
remove poles, overhead wires, and associated structures. The conversion of overhead utilities to
underground is anticipated to be completed by December 31, 2002.
City Council Policy #585-01 allows the City to use utility undergrounding funds to reimburse all
affected properties for the cost of undergrounding of private service laterals.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution to:
1.
Set June 28, 2002 as the date by which property owners within Underground Utility
District No. 131, along Fourth Avenue, from "H" Street to "L" Street shall be ready to
receive underground service
2.
Set December 31, 2002 as the date by which poles, overhead wires and associated
structures shall be removed within Underground Utility District No. 131, along Fourth
Avenue, from "H" Street to "L" Street
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On January 25, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution No 2000-027 establishing Underground
Utility District No. 131, along Fourth Avenue from "H" Street to "L" Street. Also, in accordance
with the City Code and said resolution, the City Clerk notified all property owners within the district
ofthe relevant provisions by mailing each owner and resident a copy of said resolution. There were
no inquiries by the property owners regarding the notification.
If-I
Page 2, Item /4
Meeting Date 01/15/02
During a meeting of the Utility Undergrounding Advisory Committee (UUAC), conducted on
November 14, 2001, the utility representatives informed Engineering staff that the following
schedule can be met for the subject underground conversion district:
Date for customer to be ready to receive June 28, 2002
underground service
Date for the completion of undergrounding December 31, 2002
work and the removal of overhead utilities,
poles and associated structures
Upon approval of this resolution, a notification letter, indicating the above-mentioned schedule, will
be sent to residents and property owners within the district. Exhibit "A" presents a listing of those
property owners. The conversion work by the property owners involves trenching, backfill and
installation of conduit from the property line to point of connection.
On July 11, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution 2000-233 amending City Council Policy
No. 585-1 expanding the use of SDG&E utility funds to reimburse all property owners for their
trench work. The new policy is applicable to all districts formed in calendar year 1992 and
thereafter. Each property owner is required to construct lateral connections to their property, and
will be reimbursed at a rate of $35 per foot of trench conduit (up to 100'). The City will reimburse
each property owner after receipt of said funds from SDG&E and completion of the building permit
process. There are 94 single-family dwellings and 6 non single-family dwellings within the district.
The subsidy for single-family dwellings is estimated to be $116,070. The subsidy of non single-
fanfily dwellings is estimated to be $5,735. Exhibit "B" gives an estimate of the reimbursement to
each property owner.
The boundary for the project is shown on attached Exhibit C.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of pole removal, undergrounding overhead facilities and private
property conversion reimbursements as outlined above is estimated to be approximately $1,000,000.
SDG&E's allocation funds (Rule 20-A) will cover the estimated cost of the project. The estimated
subsidy to property owners for their trench work is $137,000. The cost of street light construction,
associated with the installation of new street lights and conversion from wooden to concrete poles is
approximately $140,000.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~F~
Meeting Date 01/15/2002
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Appropriating $55,000.00 from the unencumbered
balance of the Traffic Signal Fund for the replacement of the City's former
JHK traffic system with the Quicknet/4 Advanced Traffic Management
System (ATMS) to CIP Project No. TF-254.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works,~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~{~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
On October 9, 1997, the City has received approval for the use of Congestion Management and
Air Quality (CMAQ) federal funding, administered by CALTRANS, for the acquisition of traffic
control system software and hardware from Bi Tran Systems, Inc. in the amount of $55,000.00.
City funds are always fronted to finance federal-aided projects under CMAQ funding. After
those projects are completed, City staff requests reimbursement from CALTRANS for the
approved funding. The federal funds are still available for the City to apply to that project, but
City funds must be appropriated at this time in order to front the project costs.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a resolution appropriating $55,000.00 from the
unencumbered balance of the Traffic Signal Fund for the replacement of the City's former JHK
traffic system with the Quicknet/4 Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS)
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The replacement of the existing traffic system to the Quicknet/4 Advanced Traffic Management
System (ATMS) was originally approved as CIP Project No. TF-254 in FY 97/98 with a budget
of $110,000.00 being appropriated from the Traffic Signal Fund. The scope of the work
included replacement of the existing aging traffic signal control system with a more versatile Bi
Tran QuickNet/4 system that was also compatible with the City's traffic signal Type 170
controllers. The work also included a communication processor, two workstations, a notebook
computer, intersection graphics, software, other associated equipment and upgrades and staff
training.
Through the replacement proposal process, staff realized that the available funds of $110,000
were not adequate for the needed work; therefore, staff requested additional funds from
CALTRANS by way of State-funded grants under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) program. As a result, on October 9, 1997, staff received approval for the use of
$55,000.00 in CMAQ funds. For such State funding, howevcr, the City would have to front the
monies through appropriation of additional funds for thc project, then they would be reimbursed
to the City by CALTRANS after completion of the project.
Page 2,Item ,~
MeetingDate:01/15/2002
The project is now at the point where the City funds, to be utilized in advance of receipt of the
grant funds, are needed. Approximately $98,000.00 has already been expended and a balance of
$38,000.00 will have to be paid to the consultant for total expenditures of $136,000.00 up to
date; therefore the originally budgeted City funds of $110,000.00 would be insufficient to cover
all incurred costs. In appropriating the additional funds, and later getting reimbursed for them,
the City will have sufficient funds to cover all costs associated with this project. Therefore, staff
recommends that Council approve a resolution appropriating $55,000.00 from the unencumbered
balance of the Traffic Signal Fund for the replacement of the existing JHK City's traffic system
with the Quicknet/4 Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS)
FISCAL IMPACT:
FUNDS REQUIRED FOR REPLACEMENT
A. Funds Already Expended $98,000.00
B. Balance due to Consultant $38,000.00
C. Contingencies $29,000.00
TOTAL $165,000.00
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION
A. Traffic Signal Fund $l 10,000.00
B. CMAQ Funds (after appropriation of City funds, then reimbursement) $55,000.00
TOTAL $165,000.00
There is minimal additional annual maintenance cost associated with this project over what are
currently being paid.

Resolution Summarily Vacating a Road Easement
over Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 16033 to the City of Chula Vista
recorded October 24th 1900 in Book 304, Page 9 of deeds.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Work~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~lL (4/Sths Vote: Yes No X )
A request has been received from Pacific Bay Homes to vacate 3 easements belonging to
the City of Chula Vista within Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 16033 owned by Pacific Bay
Homes.
In accordance with Chapter 4, Section 8330 et.seq, of the California Streets and
Highways Code, this type of vacation may be performed summarily through adoption of
a resolution of vacation.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopts a resolution summarily vacating the
easements located within Lot 2 of Map No. 16033
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Street Easement over Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 16033 granted to the City of
Chula Vista by document no. 1991-0156302 recorded April 8th 1991 was an old Proctor
Valley Road alignment. Since 1991 Proctor Valley Road has been built on a revised
alignment and the necessary right of way in that area has been obtained. There are no
drainage structures nor utilities within the old easement and adequate streets have been
Page 2, Item (./
Meeting Date 1/15/02
built to allow access to all parcels in the vicinity. The street easement serves no purpose
to the City.
The Slope Rights and Drainage Easement over Pamel 2 of Parcel Map 16033 granted to
the City of Chula Vista by document no. 1991-0156301 recorded April 8th 1991 was
granted to build the slopes and to drain the old Proctor Valley Road alignment. Since
there are no drainage structures nor utilities within the old easement and the road is now
built in a different location, the Slope Rights and Drainage easement serves no purpose to
the City.
The Road Easement over Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 16033 to the City of Chula Vista
recorded October 24th 1900 in Book 304; Page 9 of deeds was originally conveyed to the
County of San Diego. Since then the City annexed a portion of the area underlying this
easement. Because of the surveying practices in the 1900's the legal description for this
document is unplotable but the title report shows it in this lot. Subsequent maps to the
southeast and the northwest of said parcel have been abandoned leaving only this portion.
Staff believes that this easement is yet an older alignment of ~vhat no~v is Proctor Valley
Road. There are no drainage structures nor utilities within the old easement and adequate
streets has bean built to allow access to all parcels in the vicinity. The Road easement
serves no purpose to the City.
Chapter 4, Section 8333(c) of the California Streets and Highways Code states that an
easement may be summarily vacated if the easement has been superseded by relocation
and there are no other public facilities located within the easement. The easements no
longer serve the purpose for which they were dedicated due to the construction of the
current Proctor Valley Road and the rest of the surrounding streets make these easements
unnecessary and of no use to the City.
The Planning and Building Department and Open Space staff have been notified of the
proposed vacations and have no objections.
FISCAL IMPACT: The costs related to the processing of this request for vacation are
being paid for by a deposit of monies by the applicant under the City's Full Cost
Recovery System.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ri
Meeting Date 1/15/02
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Approving agreement between the City of Chula Vista
and Infrastructure Management Services, Inc. (IMS) to provide Pavement
Testing/Condition Analysis, Data Collection, and Management Services
(STL-273).
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works~/
REVIEWED BY: City Manager G~l~ C' (4/5ths Vote: Yes )
~ ,9 NoX
On August 31,200l, the City of Chula Vista advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) from qualified
engineering consultant firms for the collection of pavement condition data for the City's current
pavement management system. The field data is outdated and new testing/pavement condition data
is required for the entire street network. The objective of the new Pavement Management System is
to update the existing pavement data and make recommendations as to how the current street
condition within the City's public streets can be maintained, rehabilitated, or reconstructed for the
next five years, using available funds.
On October 1, 2001, the City received three (3) proposals to perform pavement testing and
management services, and on October 15, 2001 all three consultant firms were interviewed.
Infrastructure Management Services, Inc. (IMS) was selected as the most qualified of the three firms
that responded to the request for proposals. IMS performed the original pavement testing for the City
of Chula Vista in the late 1980's, and in staff's opinion IMS can most efficiently and effectively
update the current City's Pavement Management System data in a manner, which is fully compatible
with our existing system.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council pass a resolution approving an agreement between the City
and Infrastructure Management Services, Inc. (IMS) to provide pavement testing and management
services within the City's public street network.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The City received proposals to perform pavement testing and management services from the
following three firms: Golder Associates, Infrastructure Management Services Inc. ([MS), and Eres
Consultants, with proposals of $129,550, $163,500, and $166,162, respectively. On October I5,
2001 all three consultant firms were interviewed. Infrastructure Management Services, Inc. (IMS)
was selected as the most qualified of the three finns that responded to the request for proposals.
Although Golder Associates' proposal was less than the other qualified firms, their proposed
pavement management services were not consistent nor appeared to be as effective as the other
Page 2, Item 1
Meeting Date 1/15/02
The IMS system was originally chosen by the City in 1986 and again in 1995 because of their
method of analysis used to determine the condition of pavement in the various street segments. At
each test location, surface distress, roughness, rutting, environmental and image data will be
collected using IMS's Laser Road Surface Tester. The Laser RST is an automated survey device that
largely removes subjective human influences, and thus produces superior pavement performance
information. In addition, deflection data will also be collected using a Dynaflect device at each
roadway section. The Dynaflect is a servo mechanical device that is used to determine pavement
strength and layer performance characteristics.
The Laser RST system is mounted in a van loaded with computers that receives the information from
the laser as the van drives the streets at a speed of around 20-30 mph. The laser "reads" the amount
and size of pavement cracking and measures the variations in the smoothness of the surface. The
computer processes the information which can be downloaded into the City's computers when the
field work is completed. One of the consulting firms that responded to the RFP proposed to perform
this type of field observation either manually or by using windshield survey. Because of the lack of
consistency which would result from making repeated manual observations by different people to
determine the extent and severity of cracking over several days, or under a number of different
conditions, the IMS system, using the laser based testing machine, was believed to be the most
repeatable, consistent and dependable. In addition, the van-mounted laser is expected to complete
the proposed field work within a month.
It was staff's decision to stay with the IMS system because of the excellent responses to the
interview panel's questions, and their presentation during the interview. The IMS learning curve
time and implementation requirements will be negligible, and IMS can start working on the
assignment as soon as the City authorizes them to begin work on the project. In addition, using
another system would require replacing the old system, including software, and training to use a new
program. This would also lead to the loss of the value of our existing software and data before we
have had an opportunity to compare the results of our pavement management efforts over the last ten
years with the anticipated results based on the previous data. IMS has continually been upgrading
their computer program to more effectively handle all of the maintenance and financing scenarios
unique to our City and, as part of the annual system maintenance costs, has provided those to us.
Due to the factors describe above, we believe that the IMS system is the most convenient, effective,
and dependable of the available systems. We have also very closely examined the cost proposal and
negotiated a very reasonable price. Taking all this into account, staff believes that the option to
change systems at this time should be rejected.
1MS will provide new links between our ArcView mapping program and the pavement management
data. This will enables us to display and generate maps based upon street rehabilitation plans as well
as use the query function of our mapping programs to display pavement management data. In
addition, IMS has now incorporated the ability to view pavement through digital images from a
personal computer or workstation. The digital images will be housed within the PavePro program
Page 3, Item i~ ~~
Meeting Date 1/15/02
manager, or within the City's GIS. Once loaded, we will be able to inspect the roadways as a series
of still images, or complete a "virtual drive" down any road in the network.
The pavement testing work will be done in accordance with Capital Improvement Project Number
STL-273, Pavement Management Program Pavement Testing, which was approved by the City
Council as part of the FY 2001/2002 Capital Improvement Program. The total budget for the project
is $200,000.
IMS's initial proposal for the work was $163,500 plus an additional $6,000 for the "Digital Images"
for a total proposal of $169,500. During contract negotiations, Engineering staff and IMS
determined the exact scope of the Pavement Management Program and a time table for the testing
activities. 1MS has agreed to do the work as outlined in the agreement for the amount not to exceed
$169,500. The cost includes IMS's initial proposal work and "Digital Images".
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the work as outlined in the Agreement is $169,500, which, as
indicated above, staff believes is reasonable for the work to be done. The CIP budget for this project
is $200,000. This expenditure will allow the ongoing pavement management program to be carded
out with greater assurance of optimum return on the City's investment in its street infrastructure.
The total expenditures, including stafftime, will be within the budget amount.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING
$68,950 FROM THE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE OF THE GENERAL
FUND TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THE
STOREFRONT RENOVATION PROGRAM
SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
REVIEWED BY: CII~( JVLRNAGER
BACKGROUND
The Storefront Renovation Program was established by the City Council in November, 2000 and
expanded from its original target area on Third Avenue in Town Centre I to H Street between
Broadway Avenue and I-5 in November, 2001. The program provides rebate grants to property
owners and merchants for eligible facade and signage projects in the target area.
The program was funded by an original appropriation of $85,000 in November, 2000. Due to the
nature of the program, it was anticipated that the initial appropriation would be sufficient for the first
two to three years of the program
Although it was intended that the remaining balance from the original program funds would be
continued into the budget for 2001-2002, unfortunately they were not included. The current request
seeks to remedy this situation. Subtracting funds spent from the original appropriation to date,
$68,950 is the necessary amount to refund the program at its original appropriation amount.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council appropriate $68,950 from the available fund balance of
the General Fund to the Community Development Department for the Storefront Renovation
Program.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
The Storefront Renovation Program has been endorsed by the Chula Vista Downtown Business
Association, by the Broadway Business Association and has been recommended by the Town
Centre I Project Area Committee.
PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: ~?
MEETING DATE: 01/15/02
DISCUSSION
The Storefront Renovation Program utilizes General Fund monies due to state law requiring
participants to pay laborers prevailing wages if Redevelopment Agency funds were used for the
program. During research for the program it was learned that the payment of prevailing wages
would significantly increase the cost of storefront improvements for property owners and merchants
in Chub Vista to the extent that it would make the program financially infeasible.
To date, $16,050 has been spent on the Storefront Renovation Program. This including the
design, printing and mailing of promotional materials, architectural design for six projects and
the completion of two storefront projects - a full fac;ade at LaBella Pizza and o sign for Dr,
Medina Cosmetic Dentistry. Currently a full fa~.ade improvement is being constructed at 298
Third Avenue and other projects are expected. The H Street portion of the program is expected to
start in spring, 2002.
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriation of $68,950 from the available fund balance of the General Fund will bring the
funding of the Storefront Renovation Program back to the originally appropriated level
established in November, 2000.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE: Report Regarding the Development Impact Fee (D1F), Park Acquisition
and Development (PAD) Fee, and Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds for
the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2001
Resolution No. Making Findings that the Unexpended Funds in the
PAD Fee Fund are still needed to provide construction of facilities for
which the fees were collected
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manager-Administrative Services Director of Public Works ~
REVIEWED BY: City Manage~/c~
(4/STHS Vote: Yes No X )
SUMMARY:
State law requires local agencies assessing Development Impact Fees ("DIF") fees and capacity
charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal year. This report
satisfies that requirement and also includes for ease of reference and for the convenience of
members of the public information on Parkland Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council accepts the report and approves the Resolution making findings that the
unexpended PAD funds are still needed to provide construction of facilities for which the fees
were collected.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION:
State law requires local agencies assessing Development Impact Fees ("DIF") fees and capacity
charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal year. This report
satisfies that requirement and also include for ease of reference and for the convenience of
members of the public information on Parkland Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees. It
Page 2 Item
,
Meeting Date 1/15/2002
also requires that the local agency provide this information to the public for a minimum of fifteen
days prior to reviewing this information at a public meeting. SB 1760 likewise requires local
agencies to make available to the public, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year,
information about capacity charges. These reports have been available in the City Clerk's office
for public review since December 21,2001.
The City of Chula Vista has several types of Development Impact Fees ("DIF"), Parkland
Acquisition and Development fees ("PAD"), and Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fees, which were
assessed during the fiscal year, ended June 30, 2001. The major categories of DIFs are for
transportation, traffic signal, park, drainage, sewer and public facilities. The Transportation DIF
was increased in October 2000 from $5,920 to $6,065 per single family dwelling unit (SFD).
The PAD fee was increased in April 2001 from $4,365 to $5,049 per SFD. Other existing DIFs
remained at the same rate as the previous year.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (DIF)
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted by the City to
finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities so that streets are built
when needed. This fee is applicable to all new development east of 1-805. Prior to the program,
streets were built by developers in a fragmented fashion with 6-lane facilities, necking down to 2-
lanes and expanding back to 6 lanes again. In addition, there was a fairness issue since some
developers fronted on large streets and others did not. Now all developers in the Eastern portion
of Chula Vista pay the same fee per dwelling unit and either the City constructs the street or a
developer does, using the cost to offset the TransD1F fee at the building permit stage. The fee for
FY01 was $6,065 per single family dwelling unit (SFD). The fees for other land use types, as
well as detailed FY01 financial information are presented on Attachment A - Schedule 1.
EASTLAKE PARK DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted by the City to
finance and coordinate the construction of park facilities in the Eastlake area. The terms of the
loan remain the same as the previous year. When the funds are repaid, they will be used to build
a community center. Detailed FY01 financial information is presented on Attachment A -
Schedule 2.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL FEE - This fee was adopted to provide for the projected traffic signal needs
for the City that result from increases in traffic volume caused by development. As funds are
accumulated they are expended on traffic signal projects that meet the warrants at the time the
funds are available. This is a citywide fee with a FY01 rate of $13 per trip generated. Detailed
FY01 financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 3.
TELEGRAPH CANYON DRAINAGE DIF - This fee is applicable to all new development
within the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Basin and has remained unchanged since 1998. Detailed
FY01 financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 4.

Meeting Date 1 / 15/2002
to finance transportation facilities in the Eastern Territories that would be needed to provide
adequate and safe transportation facilities if there are delays in the construction of State Route
(SR) 125 by CALTRANS or others. The fee in FY01 ~vas unchanged from the previous year,
remaining at $820 per SFD. Detailed FY01 financial information is presented on Attachment A -
Schedule 5.
TELEGRAPH CANYON GRAVITY SEWER DIF - This is a fee for the expansion of the
trunk sewer within the basin for tributary properties. The fee in FY01 was unchanged from the
previous year, remaining at $216.50 per SFD. Detailed FY01 financial information is presented
on Attachment A - Schedule 6.
TELEGRAPH CANYON PUMPED SEWER DIF - This fee is collected for the expansion of
the Telegraph Canyon trunk sewer to serve those properties outside of the basin. These flows are
pumped into the trunk line temporarily and it is anticipated they will ultimately drain to another
basin, either Pogo or Salt Creek, by gravity. If Telegraph Canyon basin becomes built out, there
may be no reserve capacity for the temporary pumped flows and a parallel system must be built.
At the time that the Pogo Canyon and/or Salt Creek Basin sewer facilities are completed, the
unused funds paid by developments in the basin will be returned to the current property owners.
The FY01 fee was $560 per SFD, and has remained unchanged since 1994. Detailed FY01
financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 6.
SALT CREEK SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted to
provide the necessary financing to construct the Salt Creek Interceptor. This fee is applicable to
the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, that portion of the Upper Otay Lake Basin north of the Salt Creek
Sewer Basin, and that portion of the Lower Otay Lake Basin east of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin.
The fee in FY01 was $284 per SFD. Detailed FY01 financial information is presented on
Attachment A - Schedule 6.
POGGI CANYON SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted
to provide the necessary financing to construct a trunk sewer in the Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin
from a proposed regional trunk sewer west of 1-805 along Olympic Parkway to the boundary of
Eastlake. The fee was established at $400 per single-family dwelling. Detailed FY01 financial
information is presented on Attachment A- Schedule 6.
OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 1 & 5 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
FEE - This fee was adopted to provide the necessary financing to construct the facilities. The

Page 5, Item
Meeting Date 1/I5/2002
Although the majority of project costs are to be borne by new development, it's important to note
that various components or specific projects within a component contain both a City and new
development cost share. The City share often reflects "joint impetus" projects, which are
necessitated by both growth and non-growth factors and/or the City's obligation to correct pre-
existing space/equipment deficiencies. The PFDIF fees only relate to new development's cost
share for each component.
PARKLAND AQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT (PAD) FEES
This in lieu fee was adopted by the City to acquire neighborhood community parkland and
construct parks and recreational facilities. During FY01, the fee was increased from $4,375 to
$5,049 per single-family dwelling unit. Detailed FY01 financial information is presented on
Attachment C.
TRUNK SEWER CAPITAL RESERVE FEES
This fee was established to pay all or any part of the cost and expense to enlarge sewer facilities
of the City so as to enhance efficiency of utilization and/or adequacy of capacity. Detailed FY01
financial information is presented on Attachment D.

FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR FUNDS IN POSSESSION OVER 5 YEARS
Government Code Section 66001(d) requires the local agency to make findings every five years
with respect to any portion of the DIF fees remaining unexpended to identity the purpose for
which it was charged. This year the City has elected to make such findings for any funds
remaining unexpended for five or more years. The following project has fees, which were
collected five or more years ago, which remain unexpended and is listed to satisfy Section
66001 (d) of the Government Code.
a. Eastlake Park Development Impact Fee
The fees collected prior to FY93 plus the interest earned is still needed for park facilities. Per
Council approval and a request kom the Eastlake Development Co. for their cash flow needs,
the funds are on loan to Eastlake Development Company to be repaid on demand.
No other DIF or PAD funds contain monies that have been on deposit for five or more years.
Copies o£this report were sent to the Ayres Land Company, the Building Industry Association of
San Diego, the Eastlake Development Company, the McMillin Companies, the Otay Ranch
Company and Pacific Bay Homes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
With findings that identify the continued need for the nnexpended and/or committed or
uncommitted fees, the City retains the fees for the future projects. Without findings that the
unexpended funds are still needed for the projects, the City would be obligated to refund the
$816,490 in park funds plus interest accrued that have been held for five or more years pursuant
to State Government Code Section 66000. Since the City has loaned $880,738 o£the park funds
to the developer, Eastlake Development Company, money would have to come kom some other
source to refund the $816,,;90 plus interest. The loss of the funds would jeopardize the Eastlake
Park Agreement and the future EastLake community center.

ITEM TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: Regarding the Proposed Assessment of
Certain Delinquent Sewer Service Charges as Liens Upon the
Respective Owner Occupied Parcels of Land and Placement of
Delinquent Charges on the Next Regular Tax Bill for Collection
RESOLUTION No. Assessing Delinquent Sewer
Service Charges as Liens Upon the Respective Owner Occupied
Parcels of Land and Approving Placement of Delinquent Charges
on the Next Regular Tax Bill
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manager Powell- '.
REVIEWED BY: City Manager,~/~,~, (4/Sths Vote: Yes __No X )
In order to adequately protect the City's interest in delinquent sewer service charges
and insure that collection efforts are directed towards the responsible property owner
in the event of a change in ownership, staff is recommending approval for liens
against affected properties as a preliminary action to replacing the delinquencies on
the property tax rolls if they remain unpaid. Adoption of this resolution will enhance
the collection process for delinquent sewer service charges by ensuring that the
correct property owners are charged and that payment be received on a more timely
basis. This is the identical process approved by City Council since August 1998.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public hearing to consider assessing
delinquent sewer service charges as liens on the affected
properties, consider all testimony, and adopt the resolution
overruling all protests and assessing these charges as liens
upon the respective owner occupied parcels of land.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 13.14.150 allows delinquent sewer service
charges to be assessed as liens upon the affected properties and 'ultimately placed on
the property tax bills for collection. The ordinance states that upon notification of the
property owners, a public hearing is set for sewer service accounts which are over
sixty days delinquent. At the hearing the City Council considers the delinquent
Page 2, Item_ / 0
Meeting Date Jal3tuea~
accounts together with any objections or protests by interested parties. At the
conclusion of the hearing, the City Council, may either approve the delinquency and
amount owed on the accounts as submitted or as modified or corrected by the City
Council. Lastly, the City Council adopts a resolution assessing such amounts as liens
upon the respective parcels of land, and the amounts are charged to the property
owners on the next regular property tax bill.
Because charges can only be submitted for placement on the property tax bills once a
year in August, staff is recommending assessing liens on the affected properties
midyear as to better ensure the City's chances for collection. If the City were to
address these delinquent charges only once a year in August, the effectiveness of
using the property tax bill as a means of collection would be significantly reduced as
the owners of record in August would not necessarily be the people responsible for
the delinquent charges. In cases where properties are sold or transferred, assessing
liens midyear holds the correct property owners responsible. In cases where property
owners choose to refinance their mortgages, the midyear liens will ensure that the
City would receive payment on a more timely manner as the delinquent sewer service
charges would be paid through escrow during the refinancing process.
A recent California Supreme Court ruling has removed our ability to lien properties for
tenant delinquencies. Therefore, this request includes only owner occupied
properties. We are attempting to determine the fiscal impact of the court ruling on
the City's sewer service revenues and reviewing the feasibility of changes to the
current in-house billing method to enhance or at least preserve the collection of these
revenues in the future.
In August 2001, City Council approved 149 delinquent sewer service accounts
valued at $52,509 to be placed on the forthcoming property tax bill. These
delinquent accounts were removed form the City's bimonthly sewer bills once they
were transferred to the property tax bills. Staff has currently identified 233 owner
occupied accounts totaling $79,832 as being over 60 days delinquent (listing
available at the City Clerk's office). Many of these property owners have gone
through this lien process previously as they continue to leave their sewer service
accounts unpaid.
These property owners have been notified of their delinquencies, and four weeks ago,
they were notified of the public hearing and were asked to pay their delinquent sewer
service charges by January 7, 2002 to avoid a lien being placed on their property.
Payment arrangements will be set up as needed, and staff will continue to update
this list as payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be
submitted to the City Council for consideration as soon as all payments are recorded.
Page 3, Item_
Meeting Date .l~n~mn,,
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of delinquent sewer
accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County and
assessed as liens on the respective owner occupied parcels of land and ultimately
placed on the next regular tax bill for collection.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By placing delinquent sewer service charges on the property owner's regular tax bill,
over $48,500 in additional sewer fund revenues have been recovered for FY 00-01.
For FY 01-02, an estimated $29,000 in additional sewer fund revenues should be
recognized from these collection methods. This reduction in revenue collection is
due to the inability to place liens for tenant delinquencies. Because the lien process
is no longer the most effective means of collection, alternative methods will be
evaluated and recommended based on their success and cost effectiveness.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing to take public testimony to consider increasing the authorized
bonded indebtedness for Improvement Area A of Community Facilities
District No. 2001-1 (San Miguel Ranch).
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
California, Acting a the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District
No. 2001-1, (San Miguel Ranch), Making Findings and Determinations and
submitting the question of Increasing the Authorized Bonded Indebtedness
for Improvement Area A of Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (San
Miguel Ranch), to the Qualified Electors of such Improvement Area; calling
for a Special Election and Establishing Procedures and Conditions for
Conducting such an Election
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager 6io o,-~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On December 17, 2001 City Council approved the Resolution for the consideration to increase the
principal amount of bonded indebtedness authorized to be incurred within Community Facilities
District No. 2001-1(San Miguel Ranch) ("CFD No. 2001-1") for Improvement Area A and had
the first reading of the Ordinance authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax in Improvement Area A
and Improvement Area B.
Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (San Miguel Ranch)(CFD No. 2001-1) will fund the
construction of public facilities, such as roadways and other public improvements for the San
Miguel project. In addition, a portion of the proceeds may be authorized to be used for certain
Transportation projects, as directed by the City.
Tonight's action will be to conduct a public hearing to consider increasing the bond authorization
for Improvement Area A of CFD No. 2001-1 from $13,500,000 to $15,000,000 and, if no
majority protest to such increase in bond authorization has been filed and the City Council elects,
to submit the question of Increasing the Authorized Bonded Indebtedness for Improvement Area
A, subject to the approval of the qualified electors of such Improvement Area with the Special
Election to be held on January 17, 2002.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
· Open the Hearing, take public testimony, close the public hearing;
· Approve the Resolution Submitting the Question to Increase the Authorized Bonded
Page 2, Item J/
Meeting Date 1/15/02
Indebtednes~ for Improvement Area A of Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (San
Miguel Ranch), to the Qualified Electors of such Improvement Area; calling for a Special
Election and Establishing Procedures and Conditions for Conducting such an Election
DISCUSSION:
Background
As previously noted, on December 17, 2001, the City Council adopted the Resolution to consider
increasing the principal amount of bonded indebtedness of Improvement Area A. The bonded
indebtedness is to be increased from $13,500,000 to $15,000,000 for Improvement Area A due to
an adjustment to the actual principal amount of bonds necessary to be issued for Improvement
Area A to finance the authorized facilities. The adjustment to Improvement Area A up to
$15,000,000 combined with Improvement Area B at $6,000,000 will adjust the overall total bond
authorization for CFD No. 2001-1 to $21,000,000.
Tonight's public hearing is to hear public testimony and concerns related to the proposed incr ease
to the authorized bonded indebtedness of Improvement Area A of Community Facilities District
No. 2001-1 (San Miguel Ranch).
District Boundaries
Exhibit 1 (See Attachments) represents the boundaries of CFD No. 2001-1 that include all parcels
located within San Miguel Ranch owned by NNP-Trimark San Miguel Ranch LLC. Exhibit A
also depicts the boundaries of each of the Improvement Areas (A & B) designated within CFD
No. 2001-1.
The site is bordered on the north by the existing, unincorporated residential area of Sunnyside,
and SDG&E's Miguel Substation and transmission line right-of-way. The western boundary is the
vacant Bonita Meadows site; while to the south are the existing Estancia single-family subdivision,
the Mackenzie Creek neighborhood park, and the Thurgood Marshall Elementary School. The
eastern boundary is the developing single-family neighborhoods within Rolling Hills Ranch and
the Auld Golf Course.
At buildout, the entire San Miguel Ranch will contain within Improvement Area A-603 Single
Family Detached Residences, 458 Attached Residences, 9.87 commercial acres, 5.1 acres of
Community Facilities, and 13 acres for an Elementary School site.
The Improvements
The master developer (NNP-Trimark San Miguel Ranch LLC) has requested that CFD No. 2001-1
sell only the bonds for Improvement Area A at this time. The bonds for Improvement Area B will
be sold at a later date in the future, given certain City of Chula Vista threshold requirements and
other facilities constraints.
Page 3, Item t l
Meeting Date 1/15/02
Preliminary estimates show that the maximum tax revenue (using the proposed taxes) from all the
taxable properties within only Improvement Area A would support a total bonded indebtedness of
approximately $15 million (assuming a 7.0% interest rate and a 30-year term on the bonds). This
bond amount is an increase from the original mount of $13.5 million. A bond sale amount of
$14.1 million will finance approximately $11.2 million in facilities (i.e. grading, landscaping,
streets, utilities, drainage, sewer, etc).
Special Tax Report
A copy of the Special Tax Report (" Community Facilities District Report Mello-Roos Community
Facilities Act of 1982 Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 for San Miguel Ranch) prepared
by the Special Tax Consultant, McGill Martin Self, Inc., is included as Exhibit 2, and is on file,
and available for public review in the City Clerk's Office. Said report incorporates the "Rate and
Method of Apportionment" (RMA) (previously approved by Council on September 25,2001), that
establishes the procedures for levying the special taxes in CFD No. 2001-1
Value to Lien Ratio Policy
Council policy requires a minimum 4:1 value-to-lien ratio. A ratio of less than 4:1, but equal to
or greater than 3:1, may be approved, in the sole discretion of Council, when it is determined that
a ratio of less than 4:1 is financially prudent under the circumstances ora particular CFD. A final
appraisal and lien ratio analysis would be available for Council consideration prior to bond sale,
which is planned for early in 2002. If the final analysis shows parcels which fail to meet the 4:1
or 3:1 ratio, the developer would be required to either:
· Provide cash or letters of credit to maintain the lien ratio within the City criteria; or,
· The principal amount of the bonds to be issued for each Improvement Area of the CFD
No. 2001-1 will be reduced to comply with City policy; or,
· Provide sufficient information to convince Council that a lesser lien ratio is prudent.
Resolution
There is one resolution on today's agenda that, if adopted, will accomplish the following:
RESOLUTION DECLARING NECESSITY TO SUBMIT THE QUESTION TO INCREASE
THE BONDED INDEBTEDNESS is a formal action submitting to the Qualified Electors for
Improvement Area A of Conm~unity Facilities District No. 2001- 1 (San Miguel Ranch), a
Proposition to increase the Bonded Indebtedness Secured by the Levy of a Special Tax within such
Improvement Area to Finance certain types of Public Facilities and performs the following:
· Submits one ballot proposition to the property owner(s) of Improvement Area A to (a)
increase the Bonded indebtedness from $13.5 million to $15 million, and (b) to establish
an appropriations limit for the district; and
· Establishes an election procedure.
Page 4, Item f
Meeting Date 1/15/02
And continu, es the following:
· Declares that a bond issuance is necessary;
· Describes the type of facilities to be financed within such Improvement Area and
collectively within the district;
· Limits the bond term to 30 years for each bond issue;
· Further implements the provisions of the Local Agency Special Tax and Bond
Accountability Act by specifying that:
· Such bonded indebtedness shall be incurred for the applicable specific single
purpose set forth in the Resolution.
· The proceeds of any such bonded indebtedness shall be applied only the applicable
specific purpose identified in the Resolution.
· The document or documents establishing the terms and conditions for the issuance
of any such bonded indebtedness shall provide for the creation of an account into
which the proceeds of such indebtedness shall be deposited.
· The City Manager or his or her designee, acting for and on behalf of the
District, shall annually file a report with this City Council as required by
Government Code Section 53411.
Notice
A notice was published in the San Diego Daily Transcript or any other adjudicated newspaper in
general circulation.
Future Actions
Adoptions of tonight's Resolution will submit the question to increase the bonded indebtedness of
Improvement area A of CFD No. 2001-1, to direct staff to prepare the necessary ballot
documents, and to a hold special election on January 17, 2002. The City Council on the January
22, 2002 Agenda will certify the election results.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no direct fiscal impact to the City. The developer will pay all formation costs and
has deposited money to fund initial consultant costs, and City costs in accordance with the
approved Reimbursement Agreement. The City will receive the benefit of the full cost recovery
for staff time involved in district formation and administration activities. Staff anticipates that
most of the CFD No. 2001-1 administration will be contracted out.

IV. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTPdL EXPENSES
A. Proiect Bond Sale
For CFD No. 2001-1 there will be two separate issuance of bonds. One for Improvement
Area A and one for Improvement Area B each with its own accounting, processing, and
specifics to its obligated improvements within the CFD No. 2001-1. The bond amount
for CFD No. 2001-I Improvement Area A will ~ae $14.1 million, which will finance
approximately $11.2 million in facilities. The bonds issued by CFD No. 2001-1
Improvement Area B will be $5.3 million, which will finance approximately $4.1 million
in facilities. The bonds issued by CFD No. 2001-1 Improvement Areas A and B will
meet the terms and conditions of special tax bonds set forth in the City's Statement of
Goals and Policies Regarding the Establishment of Community Facilities Districts.
B. Incidental Bond Issuance Expenses to be Included in the Proposed Bonded
Indebtedness for Improvement Areas A and B
Pursuant to Section 53345.3 of the Act, bonded indebtedness may include all costs and
estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for
which the proposed debt is to be incurred, including, but not limited to, the costs of legal,
fiscal, and financial consultant fees; bond and other reserve funds; discount fees; interest
on any bonds of the district due and payable prior to the expiration of one year from the
date of completion of the facilities, not to exceed two years; election costs; and all costs
of issuance of the bonds, including, but not limited to, fees for bond counsel, costs of
obtaining credit ratings, bond insurance premiums, fees for letters of credit, and other
credit enhancement costs, and printing costs. The reserve fund is estimated to be the
maximum allowable under Federal Tax Law. All other incidental bond issuance
expenses are estimated at 4 percent of the face amount of the bonds.
Community Facilities District No. 2001 l Page 6
San Miguel Ranch November 2001
C. Incidental Expenses to be Included in the Annual Levy, of Special Taxes for
Improvement Areas A and B
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, thc proceeds of any special tax may only be used to
pay, in whole or part, thc cost of providing public facilities, services and incidental
expenses. As defined by the Act, incidental expenses include, but are not limited to, thc
cost of planning and designing public facilities to bc financed, including thc cost of
environmental evaluations of those facilities; thc costs associated with the creation of thc
district, issuance of bonds, determination of thc amount of taxes, collection of taxes,
payment of taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized
purposes of the district; any other expenses incidental to thc construction, completion,
and inspection of thc authorized work; and the retirement of existing bonded
indebtedness. While thc actual cost of administering CFD No. 2001-1 may vary, it is
anticipated that the amount of special taxes, which can be collected, will be sufficient to
fund at least $75,000 in annual administrative expenses prior to build-out of the project.
V. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
All of the property located within CFD No. 2001-1, unless exempted by law, shall be taxed for
the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve CFD No. 2001-1. Pursuant to Section
53325.3 of thc Act, the tax imposed "is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is
no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property." The Special
Tax "may be based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making facilities
or authorized services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the
legislative body," although thc Special Tax may not bc apportioned on an ad valorem basis
pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
As shown in Exhibit t~-I and B-2, for Improvement Area A and Improvement Area B
respectively, the amended Rate and Method of Apportionment provides information sufficient to
allow each property owner within CFD No. 2001-1 to estimate thc maximum annual Special Tax
hc or she will be required to pay. Sections A through C, below, provide additional information
on thc Rate and Method of Apportionment of thc Special Tax for CFD No. 2001-1.
A. Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
When a conxmunity facilities district is formed, a Special Tax may be levied on each
parcel of taxable property within thc CFD to pay for thc construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded
indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by CFD No. 2001-1. This Special Tax
must bc apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, thc tax may not be apportioned on
an ad valorem basis.
When more than one type of land use is present within a comnqunity facilities district,
several criteria may be considered when apportioning thc Special Tax. Generally, criteria
based on building square footage, acreage, and land uses arc selected, and categories
Community Facilities District No. 2001 - I Page 7
San Miguel Ranch November 2001
based on such criteria are established to differentiate between parcels of property. These
categories are a direct result of the developer's projected product mix, and are reflective
of the proposed land use types within that community facilities district. Specific Special
Tax levels are assigned to each land use class, with all parcels within a land use class
assigned the same Special Tax rate.
The Act does not require the Special Taxes to be apportioned to individual parcels based
on benefit received. However, in order to insure fairness and equity, benefit principles
have been incorporated in establishing the Special Tax rates for CFD No. 2001-1.
The major assumption inherent in the Special Taxes rates set forth in the Rate and
Method of Apportionment is that the level of benefit received from the proposed public
improvements is a function of land use. This assumption is borne out through an
examination of commonly accepted statistical measures.
For example, in measuring average weekday vehicle trip-ends, the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's 1995 Trip Generation report identifies land use as the primary
determinant of trip-end magnitude. Commercial land uses typically generate more trip-
ends than do single family residential land use. Similarly, larger single family detached
dwellings typically generate a greater number of trip-ends than do smaller single family
detached homes, and therefore, will tend to receive more benefit from road grading, road
landscaping and road improvements.
Drainage and flood control requirements generally vary with the amount of impervious
ground cover per parcel. It follows that larger homes which have more impervious
ground cover will create relatively more drainage flow than smaller homes.
Special taxes for CFD No. 2001-1 Improvement Areas A and B (San Miguel Ranch) shall
be levied to Taxable Property to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement as outlined in the
CFD No. 2001-1 Improvement Area A and B RMA's.
The Land Use Class Categories of Taxation have been established for CFD No. 2001-1.
The categories are defined as follows:
> Residential Developed Parcels (single and multi-family residences) are taxed on the
square footage of the building;
~ Undeveloped Parcels are taxed based on acreage of the parcel; and
Based on the types of public facilities that are proposed for CFD No. 2001-1 and the
factors described above, the Special Taxes assigned to specific land uses are generally
proportionate to the relative benefits received by them, and, accordingly, the Special
Taxes in CFD No. 2001-1 can be considered fair and reasonable.
Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 Page 8
San Miguel Ranch November 2001
B. Maximum Annual Special Tax Rates
Exhibit C lists thc Maximum Annual Special Tax rates that may be levied against
Developed Property, and Undeveloped Property within CFD No. 2001-1. Exhibit C also
lists the Back:up Special Tax (described later).
The City Council will annually determine the actual amount of the Special Tax levy
based on the method described in RMA and subject to thc maximum Special Tax rates
contained in Exhibit C. The City will levy a Special Tax to the extent necessary,
sufficient to mcct thc Special Tax Requirement.
C. Backup Special Tax
When a Final Map is recorded within each Improvement Area, thc Backup Special Tax
for Assessors Parcels of Developed Property classified as Residential Property or
Commercial Property will be determined pursuant to section c.l.b of Exhibit B-1 for
Improvement Area A and c. 1.b of Exhibit B-2 for Improvement Area B.
D. Accuracy of Information
In order to establish the Maximum Annual Special Tax rates and the Backup Special Tax
as set forth in thc Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2001-1, McGill
Martin Self, Inc. has relied on information including, but not limited to absorption, land-
use types, building square footage, and net taxable acreage which were provided to
McGill Martin Self, Inc. by others. McGill Martin Self, Inc. has not independently
verified such data and disclaims responsibility for thc impact of inaccurate data provided
by others, if any, on the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2001-1,
including the inability to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 2001-1.
VI. BOUNDARIES OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
The boundaries of CFD No. 2001-1 include all land on which the Special Taxes may be
levied. Thc Recorded Map of the area included within CFD No. 2001-1 is provided as
Exhibit A.
VII. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Substitution Facilities
The description of thc public facilities, as set forth herein, arc general in their nature. The
final nature and location of improvements and facilities will be determined upon the
preparation of final plans and specifications. The final plans may show substitutes, in
lieu or modifications to the proposed work in order to accomplish the work of
improvement, and any such substitution shall not be a change or modification in the
Community Facilities District No. 200]-1 Page 9
San Miguel Ranch November 2001
proceedings as long as the facilities provide a service and are of a type substantially
similar to that as set forth in this Report.
B. Interim Transportation Facilities
The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to authorize and make the proceeds of any
subsequent series of bonds available to pay the cost of construction or the purchase price
for the acquisition of Improvements for Interim Transportation Facilities. This could
result in the revision of the facilities phority structure for the utilization of such proceeds.
C. Appeals
Any landowner who feels that the amount of the Special Tax is in error may file a notice
with the City Administrator, appealing the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to the
procedure specified in Exhibit B-1 and B-2. As appropriate the City Administrator will
then review the appeal and, if necessary, meet with the applicant. If the findings of the
representative verify that the amount of the Special Tax should be modified or changed,
then, as appropriate, the Special Tax levy shall be corrected.

Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel.

first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor's Parcel classified as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E at up

Administrator shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as exempt property if such
classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 121.93 Acres.
Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as exempt property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 121.93 Acres
will be classified as Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed as a part of the fourth step in
Section D.

H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definition applies to this Section H:
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied by an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with
respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's
Parcel 'intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall provide the
CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of
such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment
amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this figure.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
City of Chula Vista September 6, 2001
Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 t ]
San Mi,guel Ranch - Improvement .4rea .4 *~ Pa~e 9
based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's
Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Public Property to be prepaid, compute the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to
compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
(the "Redemption Premium").
5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
6. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
7. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which have not yet been paid.
8. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and Expenses
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
9. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
10. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area
A, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the
prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
11. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
City of Chula Vista September 6, 2001
(bmmunity Facilities District No. 200l-1
San Miguel Ranch - Improvement Area A ][ ~
Page lO
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
12. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal
Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
13. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9,
11, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 200lq
1, Improvement Area A.
The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under paragraph 7 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Board shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the
Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within
CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area A both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is
at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of Maximum Annual Special Taxes may be accepted
upon the terms and conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However,
the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically
approved by the Council.

Community Facilities District No. 200]- 1 ~
San Miguel Ranch - Im?rovement Area B Pa~;e 6
Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E, at up to 100% of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's Parcel
whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the application of the Backup Special
Tax and shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor's Parcel classified as Undeveloped Property pursuant to Section E at up
to 100% of the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any
Assessor's Parcel of Occupied Residential Property be increased by more than ten pement
per year as a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by the
owner of any other Assessor's Parcel of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area B.
E. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as exempt property (i) Assessor's Parcels defined as
Public Property, (ii) Assessor's Parcels defined as Property Owner Association Property,
(iii) Assessor's Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad
valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor's
Parcels defined as Community Purpose Facility Property or (v) Assessor's Parcels with
public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes
set forth in the easement, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all
Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres. Notwithstanding the above, the CFD
Administrator shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as exempt property if such
classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres.
Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as exempt property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 103.61 Acres
will be classified as Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed as a part of the fourth step in
Section D.
Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in

for any Public Property which cannot be classified as exempt property as described in the
first paragraph of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.1,
prior to the transfer/dedication of such property. Until the Maximum Annual Special Tax

landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their
Assessor's Parcel is in error may file a written notice with the Review/Appeal Committee
appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor's Parcel. The
Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures as it deems necessary to
undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret
this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual
administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein
specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding as to
all persons.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2001-1,
Improvement Area B may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a
different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and
may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on Assessor's Parcels which are
delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond
tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the

H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definition applies to this Section H:
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied by an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Public Property. The Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of
City of Chula Vista September 6, 2001
Community Facilities District No. 2001-1
San Miguel Ranch - Improvement A rea B [ i~ Page 8
the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein;
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with
respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's
Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall provide the
CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of
such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment
amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this figure.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No.:
1. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's
Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Public Property to be prepaid, compute the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the
sum of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to
compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
(the "Redemption Premium").
City of Chula Vista Septe~nber 6, 2001
Community Facilities District No. 2001~1 t , ! ~
San Miguel Ranch Improvement Area B ~; ~ Page 9
5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
6. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
7. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which have not yet been paid.
8. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and Expenses
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
9. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
10. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area
B, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the
prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any
notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
11. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
12. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal
Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
13. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9,
11, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
City of Chula Vista September 6, 2001
Community Facilities District No. 2001-I ; j
San Miguel Ranch - Improvement Area B ; Page 10
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 2001-
1, Improvement Area B.
The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under paragraph 7 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax roils. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Board shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the
Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property ~vithin
CFD No. 2001-i, Improvement Area B both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is
at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of Maximum Annual Special Taxes may be accepted
upon the terms and conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However,
the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically
approved by the Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:
PP = (Pm x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP - the partial prepayment
PE the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus Administrative
Expenses m~d Fees pursuant to Step 10.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.
A= the Administrative Expenses and Fees pursuant to Step 10.
City of Chula Vista September 6, 2001
Community Facilities District No, 2001-1
The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially
prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum
Atmual Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as
the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a
statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute
the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 14 of Section 1.1, and (ii) indicate in the
records of CFD No. 2001-1, Improvement Area B that there has been a partial prepayment
of the Maximum Annual Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special
Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant
to Section D.
I. TERM OF MAXIMUM ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX
The Maximum Annual Special Tax shall be levied commencing in Fiscal Year 2002-03 to

Episcopal Community Services is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a child
development center/preschool (Head Start) for up to 100 children in an existing chumh facility and
surrounding grounds at 1320 Fourth Avenue, where the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints is located.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), city staff conducted an Initial
Study (IS-01-059) of possible environmental impacts associated with this project, and the city's
environmental review coordinator concluded that there would be no significant environmental
impacts. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared by city staff and will be considered by
the City Council, prior to consideration of the project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On November 5, 2001, the Resource
Conservation Commission determined that the Initial Study (IS-01-059) was adequate and
recommended adoption of the Negative Declaration. On December 5, 2001, this project was
brought before the Planning Commission (see minutes, Attachment 4), who voted to adopt
Resolution PCC-01-88, which recommends that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration
(IS-01-059) and approve the Conditional Use Permit for PCC-01-88.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the resolution adopting the Negative
Declaration (IS-01-059, Attachment 3) that has been prepared for this project, and approving the
CUP (PCC-01-88) establishing a child development center/preschool (Head Start) for up to 100
children.

Meeting Date: 1/15/02
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The 2.27-acre project site is a flat, flag-shaped lot on the west side of Fourth Avenue, just south of
Palomar Street. A church sanctuary faces Fourth Avenue. Behind it are a classroom building, a
fellowship hall, and missionary dormitory. Beyond the buildings to the west is a large, grassy
recreation area that currently has no play equipment on it. An asphalt parking lot south of the
buildings accommodates 76 vehicles. Wood fencing runs along the west and south property lines;
wood and chain link (on the portion abutting Palomar Street) fencing run along the north property
line. The site is adjacent to single-family developments in all directions, with Chula Vista
Elementary School northeast of the project at Fourth and Palomar.

3. Proposal
The project consists of establishing a child development center/preschool (Head Start) in the existing
church buildings at 1320 Fourth Avenue, accommodating a maximum of 100 students (aged 3-5
years old), with approximately 50 students in the morning session, and 50 students in the afternoon
session. The hours of operation would be 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Children would be escorted into the facility, rather than "droPped off' by their parent or guardian.
Existing parking spaces would accommodate the adults' vehicles.
No additional buildings are proposed. However, a 5,000-square-foot play area (including a bike
loop, sandbox with shade structure and playground equipment) is proposed in the vacant recreation
area behind the missionary dormitory, and would be a minimum of 50 feet from all property lines.
At capacity (100 children), there will not be more than 25 children on the playground at a time, as
outdoor play will be staggered in four 45-minute intervals

4. Analysis
Private schools, such as the child development center/preschool proposed, are categorized as
"Unclassified Uses" in the Chula Vista Municipal Code. Section 19.54.020 states that Conditional
Use Permit applications for unclassified uses "shall be considered by the City Council subsequent to
its receipt of recommendations thereon from the Planning Commission."
The proposed preschool at the existing church facility would be a compatible use in the residential
neighborhood during the weekday hours proposed. Them is another school, Lauderbach Elementary,
across the street at Fourth Avenue and Palomar Street. Currently, the project site is utilized for
Sunday worship services from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; weekday church activities from 5:00 p.m. to
8:30 p.m.; occasional weekend retreats; and a homeless shelter during the months of October,
November and December from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The proposed preschool use would not
conflict with the existing facility usage.
5. Conclusion
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit in accordance with the
attached Planning Commission Resolution PCC-01-88, to allow establishment of the proposed
child development center/preschool.
FISCAL IMPACT: The applicant has paid application deposit fees totaling $3,000 ($2,000 for
the CUP and $1,000 for the Initial Study). However, because it is a non-profit organization, the
applicant is eligible for a waiver of up to $2,500 in City fees. Applicant has submitted appropriate
documentation to request such a waiver from the City Manager's office. If the waiver is
approved, fees will be charged to the General Fund.

B. Proiect Desm~tion
The Episcopal Community Set,rices (Head Start Pro_=ram) proposes utilization of an
existing chinch building, Fellowship Hail, and surrounding sounds for a child
development center. The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sa~mts owns
the church buildings and recreational area. There w/ll be no exterior changes to the
existing buildings except for the recreational area that ,adI1 be modified to include a
play~ound for the ch/ld development center. The Head Start Pro,am will operate 179
days per calendar year. The Episcopal CommuniW Services is licensed by the State of
California for a maximum o£ I00 children ranging in ages from 3 >,ears to 5 years.
The current zoning is R1 (Single Family Residential) and the General Plan desi~m~ation is
PQ (Public Quasi). The project proposal is consistent ~xqth the General Plan, Zoning
regulations and development standards. The Zoning Code allows a daycare center as an
accessory to a church use subject to a Conditional Use Permit.

weekend retreats and a homeless shelter dunng the months of October. November and
December from 5:00 p.m, to 7:00 a.m.
C. Comnliance with Zonin~ and Plans
A Conditional Use Permit is required for a daycare accessory use to a church in
accordance whh the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed project is consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance, General Plan desi~umation and environmental plans or policies.
D. Public Comments
On October I 1, 2001 a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within 500-foot
radius of the proposed project site. The public comment period ended October 22, 2001. One
written public response xvas received.
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
,An Initial Study coinducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist form) determined that the proposed project will not have a sitmificant_ environmental
effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required_ This
Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance xxdth Section 15070 of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
Potential Imnacts
Noise
'I'he p~oject sfi~e currently contains solid wooden fencing around its perimeter boundaries. 'i-ne
proposed child development center will be x~fthin an existing_ building and playground area
placed in an existing vacant portion of the property., away from the adjacent sin_ole-famitv
residences. ]'ne child development center and the play_m-ound area will not create a s"i~onifica~t
noise impact because the proposed project contains the following features: a) at least 50 - 240
feet away ~om adjacent single-famity residences, b) solid wooden fencing located along
perimeter boundaries. Due to the level of ambient noise at the site from traffic on the adjacent
streets, Fourth Avenue and Palomar Street, the additional noise impact of the proposed child
development cent~ and play~ound would be less than sig-nifieant.
Traffic
The primary, access roads to the project site are Fourth Avenue and Paloma: Street. Fourth
Avenue is a 4-tane major s~reet with a Level-of-Service "A" and Palornar SWeet is a Class 1
collector street with Level-of-Service "A". The proposed project will generate an additional 245
ave,'-age daily ~ps (,A_DT) per day. According to the Enmineering_ Department, the existing
number of vshicte h-/ps on Fourth Avenue is 9.330 and total vehicle capacity is 30,000 with
kevel-of-Serx-ice 'C". The existing number of vehicle trips on Palomar Street is 14.204 and total
vehicle capaci~, is 22,000 with Level-of-Service "C". The proposed project will not create a
significant traffic impact on to the adjacent street segments. The ADT volumes on the primary.
access roads before and after the project development will not exceed the Ci~'s Level-of-Sea-ice
;LO.S) "C" standard. The C~ty's waf:2c tlm-eshold standards can s:ili be rnct wuh
~eveiopment of the proposed project. No si~ificant ~-anspor~anor~ circulation impacts would be
created as a result of the proposed project.
Comments on Notice of Initial Study
Staff received one x~citten response to the Notice of Initial Study from a properay oWner along the
western boundary of the project site. According to the respondent, the existing school in the near
vicinity creates traffic congestion onto the adjacent street se__~rnents, Fourth Avenue and Palomar
Avenue, The respondent is concerned about the additional ~raffic from the proposed project and
',he impact it could have.
In addition, the respondent expressed concerns about potential noise impacts from
playground area. The respondent lives adjacent to the proposed playground area along the
southwest boundary of the project site. The proposed playground is 90 feet from the
respondent's home and further separated by a 6-foot wooden fence.
See previous Section E regarding potemial impacts from noise and traffic.

Comments:
The project is located on an improved properly developed with three church buildin_~s; fellowship
hall, sanctuary., and restroom facility. The proposed project is to utilize part of the ~:elI6wship
Hail and church grounds for a child development center and playground. There will be no
additional construction on the site, therefore, there will be no significant increase of surface mn-
off.
The off-site drainage facility, an inlet, exists 200 feet northeast of the property along Fourth
Avenue. The inlet drains into a channel, which runs east and west_ According to the Engineering
Deparunent, the off-site drainage facility is adequate to serve the project.
The project site sheet flows to the eastern landscaped areas along the eastern property boundary and
to the northeast property boundary along Fourth Avenue. According to the Engineering
Depar~wnent the on-site drainage pattern is adequate. No significant impacts to existing drainage
patterns or surface runoff would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.

d) Create objectionable odors?
e) Create a substantial increase in stationary or
non-stationary sources of air emissions or the
deterioration of ambient air quality7
The proposed project will not alter or deteriorate ambient air quality standards. According to the
Engineering Department, approximately 245 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) will be generated from
the proposed project. The minimal daily trips will not create a substantial increase in sources of air
emissions or create objectionable odors. The average daily trips will not create a significant impact
to local or regional air quality. The proposed project is consistent with the Air Quality Element of
the City's General Plan.

According to the Engineering Department, the child development center will generate an additional
245 average daily trips (ADT) per day. The primary access roads to the project site are Fourth
Avenue and Palomar Street. According to the Engineering Department, Fourth Avenue is a 4-lane
major street with a Level-of-Service "A' and Patomar Street is a Class 1 collector street with a
Level-of-Service "A'. According to the Engineering Department, the existing number of vehicle
trips on Fourth Avenue is 9,330 and total vehicle capacity- is 30,000 with Level-of-Service "C'
The existing number of vehicle trips on Palomar Street is I4,204 and total vehicle capacity i~
22,000 with Level-of-Service "C'. According to the Engineering Department, the primary access
roads are adequate to serve the project and maintain the City's Level-of-Service "C' standards.
The addition of the estimated 245 ADTs does not create a significant impact.
According to the Traffic Study prepared by Linscott Law & Greenspan, dated October 19, 2001,
the project is estimated to generate approximately 212 ADT with 55 AM total peak hour trips and
57 PM total peak hour trips. Vehicles wishing to access the site will utilize the existing driveway
off of Fourth Avenue. The existing ohurch driveway will be able to accommodate the new project
traffic entering and exiting the site. According to the traffic study, the 78 parking spaces provided
are adequate to handle the vehicle traffic of the existing church use and the child development
center. Thus, the internal circulation created by the existing church use and proposed child
development center will continue to function adequately.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.

plans?
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ~ ~ [] []
inefficient manner?
c) If the site is designated for mineral resource ~ ~ ~ []
protection, will this project impact this
protection?
Comments: The child development center does not conflict with the recently adopted CO,
Reduction Plan_ The proposed project is subject to compliance with Energy Requirements of the
Uniform Building Code and therefore, should not result in the use of non-renewable resources in a
wasteful and inefficient mariner. The site is not located in an area designated for rnineral resource
protection as addressed in the City's General Plan. No significant energy and mineral resource
impacts would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures are required.
IX. HAZAPd)S. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: petroleum products, pesticides, chemicals or
radiation)?

heal~ hazard7
d)Expo~re of people to existing sources of
potential heal~ h~ards7
e) Increased fire h~ard in areas with fla~able
b~sh, grass, or trees~
Commen~: A church and auxilia~ facilities cu~ently occupy the site. ~e proposed
project, a child development center, would result in the continuation of a similar ~'pe land use.
~e proposed proj~t xvould not interfere wi~ ~e emergency response plan for ~e area as there are
minimal daily trips created by ~e project and as such would not significantly impact existing
evacuation routes. %e ~rrounding area is developed wi~ residential uses ~at ~ically do not
include ~e significant use or storage of hazardous materials. No significant hazardous impacts
would result ~om ~e proposed project.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures are required.
X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels?
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels?
Comments:
The proposed child development cemer would not result in a siznificant increase of existing noise
levels or exposure of people to severe noise levels. No exterior r~modeling or building construction
is proposed. The proponent would be required to comply with the City Noise Ordinance per Tide
I9, Section 19.68.
There are three singleffamily residences adjacent to the northeast property boundary, two single-
family residences adjacent to the west property boundary and five single-family residences adjacent
to the south propen!- boundary. The Child Development Center is separated from the residential
properties to the west and south by an existing 6-foot wooden fence with intermittent masonry
pilasters. The child development center, located within the Fellowship Hall, is located 230 feet
from the western property boundaU and 100 feet from the southern property boundary.
The proposed playground area will be located 50 feet from the western property boundary and
approximately 90 feet from the southern property boundary. Separating the southern property.
boundary from the proposed playground is an existing parking lot servicing the existing ~hurch
facility.
According to CiD' records, there are no recent noise complaints received from surrounding
Due to the distances of the child development center and associated playground from the adlas, ent
residences and solid perLmeter fencing, it has been determined that no significant noise impacts
would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.
XI. PUBLIC SER¥ICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered
government services in an), of the following areas:
a) Fire protection?
b) Police protection?
c) Schools?
d) Maintenance of'public facilities, including
roads?
e) Other governmental services?
The project site is located within a fully urbanized area of western Chula Vista. Th~ Police and
Fire Depamnents reported that the project would not create a significant impact to existing services.
According to the Chula Vista Elementary, School District according to Assembly Bill No. 181,
Section 53080, any private facility is exempt from school fees. No significant public service
impacts would result from the development of the child center.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.
XII. Thresholds. gTll the proposal adversely impact the ~ r~ D []
City's 7'hreshold Standards?
As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seven
Threshold Standards.
Page 9
The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must b~ able to respond Io
calls wkhth '7 minutes or less in $5% of the cases and within $ minutes or less in 75%
of the cases. It is anticipated that the minor furore development on this parcel map will
meet the threshold sandards as this project is in a fully urbanized area. The proposed
project would comply with this Threshold Standard,
Comments: According to the Fire Department, the current level of service can continue to be
provided to the project site. As such, the proposed project is not anticipated to significantly impact
the Fire/EMS Threshold Standard.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.
b) Police o [] o a
The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of Priority 1
calls within ? minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1
calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10 % of Priority 2 calls
. within 7 minutes or less. and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of
7 minmes or less.
Comments: The Police Department indicates that the current level of police services can
continue to be provided to the project area. The Police Department reports that the proposed
project would no~ res,~lt in a significant impact to the Police Threshold Standards.
blifigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.
c) Traffic = o o
1. Ci7,.'~v,,ide: Maintain LOS "C" or better as measured by observed average travel
speed on all signalized arterial segments except that during peak hours a LOS "D"
can oCcur for no more than any two hours of the day.
2. West of 1-805: Those signalized intersections which do not meet the standard
above may continue to operate at their current 1991 LOS, but shall not worsen.

~ · traf~c ~hresholds being exceeded..
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures will be required.
d) Parks/Recreation [] [] [] []
The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres of neighborhood and
community parkland with appropriate facilities per 1,000 residents east of Interstate 805
(I-8O5).
Comments: The proposed'project is located west of 1-805, therefore, the Parks and Recreation
Threshold does not apply. Park pad obligations would be required per City Ordinance (Municipal
Code, Chapter 17.10).
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures are required.
e) Drainage [] [] [] []
The Threshold Standards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed
City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Engineering
Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: According to the Engineering Department, the storm water flows and drainage
facilities will not be significantly affected by the proposed project because no construction or
paving of impervious surfaces are proposed. The project site currently sheetflows to the
landscaped areas adjacent to the east property boundary and continues towards Fourth Avenue. The
existing off-site facili~' is a curb inlet which runs east and west across Fourth Avenue. No
significant drainage impacts would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures are required.

Sewer ~ o [] []
The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City
Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with Sewer Master Plan(s) and City Engineering
Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The City Engineering Department has determined that the existing 8-inch sewer
mains along Palomar Street and Fourth Avenue are adequate to serve the proposed project. No
significant sewer facility impacts would result from the proposed project.
/Uht~gation Measures:
No mitigation measures arel required
g) Water ~ [] [] ~
The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission
facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality
standards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project
will comply with this ThreshoId Standard.
Applicants may also be required to participate in whatever water consep,,ation or fee
off-set program the City of Chub Vista has in effect at the time of building permit'
issuance.
Comments: The Sweetwater Water District has determined that the existing water facility is
adequate to sert,,e the proposed project. The GPM fire flow at 54 p.s.i, residual pressure
for a two-hour duration as required by the Chula Vista Fire Deparlrnent is avaitable to serve
the proposed project. No significant impacts to water services are anticipated.
Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures are required.

XXH. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a sianificant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLAIL-XT1ON will be prepared. []
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the []
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
meastires descried on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I f'md that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and []
an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but []
at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impacts" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is req~uired, but it must analyze only the effects
that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potemi'ally
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards and (b) have b~n avoided or mitieated pursuant to that earlier EIR,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
An addendum has bee~n prepared to provid~ a record of this determination.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: No public input.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: PCC 01-88; Conditional Use Permit to establish a child
development center/preschool in an existing church building
and surrounding grounds. Applicant: Episcopal Community
Services
Commissioner Cortes stepped down from the dais.
Background: Klm Vander Bie, Associate Planner reported that the project consists of
establishing a child development center/preschool in the existing church building at
1320 Fourth Avenue, accommodating a maximum of 100 students (ages 3-5) with an
opening day enrollment of 68 students. The hours of operation would be 7:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday with staff only being present on Friday.
A 5,000 sf play area is proposed in the vacant recreation area behind the missionary
dormitory and would be a minimum of 50 feet from all property lines. At capacity, there
will not be more than 25 children on the playground at a time, as outdoor play will be
staggered in four 45-minute intervals.
City staff conducted an Initial Study (IS 01-059) of possible environmental impacts
associated with the project and the Environmental Review Coordinator determined that
ATTACHMENT
Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - December 5, 2001
there would be no significant environmental impacts, therefore, a Negative Declaration
has been prepared.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission approve Resolution PCC 01-88
recommending that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Negative
Declaration and approving the CUP establishing a child development center/preschool
for up to 100 children.
Commission Discussion:
Commissioner Thomas inquired if the State was requiring any modifications to the
existing buildings based on the number of children it will be servicing.
Ms. Vander Bie responded that all State of California requirements related to health and
safety will need to be met prior to them issuing a license.
Commissioner O'Neill inquired if any studies have been conducted to evaluate any
traffic and circulation impacts.
Ms. Vander Bie stated that a traffic study was conducted as part of the Initial Study,
which concluded that there were no significant traffic impacts and no further
improvements were necessary.
The Commission collectively expressed concern with the circulation and
maneuverability of cars dropping off children within the parking lot.
Ms. Vander Bie clarified that this is the type of facility where children are not dropped-off
like they are in an elementary school. These are smaller children whose parents drive
into the parking lot, park and get offtheir cars to escort and sign-in their child. It would
be no different than any other striped parking lot (i.e. supermarket) where there is
sufficient room to back out of the stall and exit the lot.
Public Hearing Opened 6:35.
Christina Breining, 121 Woodiawn #A, Chula Vista stated that head-start programs are o¢
great value to underprivileged families. She indicated she is a "head-start mom" and her
child has gone through the head-start program. Ms. Breining further stated that had it not
been for head-start helping her with child care, which enabled her to get on her feet and
find employment after going through a divorce, she and her child would have most likely
ended up on the streets or on public assistance. She therefore urged the Commission to
approve the project.
Planning Commission Minutes - 3 - December 5, 2001
Gene Merlino, 1261 Third Avenue #B, Director of Child Development Services who
oversees the head-start programs in the Southbay stated that churches offer an optimal
location for head-start programs that are able to utilize facilities that have large
auditoriums and/or classroom buildings, with adequate parking that are not used during
the work-week. She also stated that traffic congestion would not be a problem because
children are dropped off at different hours in the morning. She urged the Commission
to approve the project and stated she was available to answer questions.
MSC (McCann/Thomas) (5-0-1-1) that the Planning Commission approve Resolution
PCC 01-88 recommending that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the
Negative Declaration and approving the CUP establishing a child development
center/preschool for up to 100 children. Motion carried.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: PCC 02-13; Conditional Use Permit to permit an existing second
dwelling unit as an accessory second dwelling unit behind the
primary single-family residence at 736 Church Avenue.
Applicant: Daniel Contreras.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item !
Meeting Date 01/15/02
ITEM TITLE: Report on All-Way Stop Re-eval~aation on East J Street at La Senda Way
/
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works~//~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~¢
J¢~s~ (4/5 Vote Yes X No)
On July 26, 2001, staff received a letter from Patrick McCarragher, 703 East "J" Street,
requesting that an all-way stop be installed on East "J" Street at La Senda Way to help control
the high speed of motorists traveling on East "J" Street and to resolve intersection safety
concerns as a result of reduced sight visibility at the subject intersection. Staff evaluated the
intersection under the latest Council Policy and recommended denial of all-way stop control.
The Safety Commission did not concur and under Council Policy 110-09, if staff and the Safety
Commission do not concur, the matter automatically goes to City Council for final decision.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council accept staff's recommendation to deny the installation of the all-way stop
control at the intersection of East "J" Street and La Senda Way based on the location receiving
39 points out of a possible 100 points where 45 points are required to install the all-way stop.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS:
The Safety Commission, at their meeting of September 13, 2001, passed a motion MSUC 6-0-0
(White/Acton) to not concur with staff's recommendation to deny the installation of all-way stop
control and to refer this matter to the City Council for a final decision regarding the installation
of all-way stop control at East "J" Street and La Senda Way.
DISCUSSION:
The request for the all-way stop was first investigated on August 2, 1999, when staffreceived a
letter from Edward G. Woo&ich, 682 East "J" Street. The request cited the need for the all-way
stop control because of the excessive speed of motorists traveling on East "J" Street and the need
to provide for intersection safety due to reduced visibility. Staff studied the subject request
utilizing the existing all-way stop policy at that time. Staff then presented their report and
recommendation to install the all-way stop at the Safety Commission's regularly scheduled
meeting of November 11, 1999. The Safety Commission concurred with staff to install the all-
way stop MSC (Liken/McAIister) 4-1-2 based on the location receiving 61 points out of a
possible 100 points where 35 points were required to install the all-way stop. Soon thereafter, the
decision was appealed to the City Council at their meeting on January 25, 2000. David Krogh,
who resides at 712 East "J" Street, questioned the point system used in the council policy. As a
result, thc City Council referred the item back to staff' and the Safety Commission for further
consideration.
Item ]3
Meeting Date 01/15/02
On March 9, 2000, staff presented a new all-way stop evaluation to the Safety Commission that
included an analysis of Mr. Krogh's points on the previous study and staff's response to his
analysis. Again, the Safety Commission voted to accept staff's report and recommendation to
install the all-way stop MSUC (Acton/McAlister) 7-0-0 based on the location receiving 44 points
out of a possible 100 points where 35 points were required to install the ali-way stop. This
evaluation was conducted under Council Policy Number 478-03 dated 07/27/99. The
recommendation was then brought before the City Council for their approval. The City Council
indicated that the existing policy was too liberal, and that staff, with the help of the Safety
Commission, was to revise the policy accordingly. After staff further revised the policy and City
Council approved the revision, a request to install an all-way stop control at the subject
intersection has come under evaluation again.
The intersection of East "J" Street and La Senda Way is a T-intersection with an existing stop
sign on La Senda Way stopping northbound traffic. La Senda Way is a residential street that
extends south from East "J" Street and is 40' wide curb-to-curb in this area with parking allowed
on both sides of the street. It has an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 809 and a prima facie speed
of 25 mph. East "J" Street in this area is a 64' wide curb-to-curb 2-lane Class II collector.
Parking is allowed on both sides of East "J" Street, which has an ADT of 5,890, an 85th
percentile speed of 40 mph and a posted speed limit of 35 mph.
On August 30, 2001, staff had completed the re-evaluation of the all-way stop study for the
subject intersection of East "J" Street and La Senda Way. When considering an intersection for
an all-way stop control, several factors are studied to determine the need for installation.
Pedestrian and vehicle volumes, accident history, physical factors such as sight distances, speed
of vehicles, roadway aligmment such as curves and topography are all taken into consideration.
A review of the accident history for this intersection shows a maximum of one reported accident
per any 12-month period prior to the investigation date. The Statewide accident rate for a similar
type of T-intersection is 0.14 accidents per million vehicles entering (a/mve) and this intersection
experienced an accident rate of 0.47 a/mve, which is above the statewide average.
During the evaluation period, staff conducted sight distance measurements at this intersection.
Motorists driving eastbound on East "J" Street have a stopping sight distance visibility of 140' at
the intersection with La Senda Way. Motorists driving westbound on East "J" Street have a
stopping sight distance of 160' at the same intersection. The minimum required distance for 35
mph is 250' and 300' for 40 miles per hour. Stopping sight distance is measured from a 3.5'
height of driver's eye to a 0.5' height of object in the roadway.
On December 10, 2001, staff reevaluated the sight distance at this intersection based on physical
changes in the vicinity. The comer sight distance for motorists on northbound La Senda Way
looking toward both eastbound and westbound East "J" Street traffic was measured. The
measured comer sight distance was 184' looking toward eastbound traffic and 181' looking
toward westbound traffic. However, the required comer sight distance is 385' for 35 mph and
600' for a speed of 40 miles per hour. This comer sight distance is based on a 3.5' height of
driver's eye and a 4.25' height of object in the roadway.
Item /~
Meeting Date 01/15/02
Staff then measured the sight distance based on motorists making an initial stop at the stop bar,
but moving toward East "J' Street before making a right or left turn. The comer sight distance
for motorists on northbound La Senda Way increased when looking toward eastbound East
Street traffic to 2?0' and westbound East "J' Street traffic to 360'.
In some cases the cost to obtain comer sight distances may be excessive. High costs might
include right of way, building removal, extensive excavation, or environmental costs such as tree
removal, avoidance of wetlands historic, and archaeological sites. In such cases lesser value for
comer sight distance may be used, but the minimum value shall be the stopping sight distance
given in Table 201.l (Caltrans Highway Design Manual) measured from a 3.5' driver's eye
height on the minor road to a 4.25' object height on the major road. These distances are 250'
and 300' for 35 mph and 40 mph respectively. Based on a motorist stopping at the most forward
position in the intersection, there is sufficient stopping sight distance for westbound approaching
traffic at 40 mph and sufficient stopping sight distance for approaching eastbound traffic at the
posted 35 miles per hour speed limit.
The all-way stop Council policy warrant evaluation has been conducted and the subject
intersection has been awarded points based on the following warrants:
General Warrant:
10 bonus points are assigned because the following conditions are met:
a) The street to be controlled is within a residence district as defined in section 515 of
the California Vehicle Code.
b) The street to be controlled is classified as a collector or is functioning as a collector.
c) The subject intersection is not within 600' from the nearest controlled intersection
along the collector.
d) There is a parallel arterial highway that can be used as an alternative route.
Accident Warrant:
5 points are assigned since this intersection experienced one vehicular accident
correctible by an all-way stop control.
Unusual Condition Warrant:
6 points are assigned because of the reduced sight distance. (Conducted on August 30,
2001)
3 points are assigned due to the grade of the approach.
1 point is assigned because of the high approach speed of 40 mph.
Pedestrian Volume Warrant:
4 points are assigned because of the 2 pedestrians crossing East "J' Street during the
hour of 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Item
Meeting Date 01/15/02
Traffic Volume Warrant:
9 points are assigned due to the entering volumes of the intersection.*
*Two points are assigned for each hour ( for a maximum of 8 hours ) when the intersection entering
volumes exceeded the 70% of 500 (350) vehicles per hour and the minor street approach volumes are less
than 70% of the 200 (140), but more than 70% of 100 (70) of both pedestrians and vehicles.
One point is assigned each hour ( for a maximum of 8 hours ) when the intersection entering volumes
exceeded the 70% of 500 (350) vehicles per hour and the minor street approach volumes are less than 70%
of 100 (70).
Traffic Volume Difference Warrant:
1 point is assigned due to the ratio of the minor street ADT to the major street ADT.
The subject intersection received a total of 39 points out of a possible 100 points, where 45
minimum points were required to justify the installation of an all-way stop control. Therefore,
staff recommended to deny the installation of the all-way stop control at the subject intersection.
After Safety Commission discussion and public hearing at their scheduled September 13, 2001
meeting, the Safety Commission did not concur with stafl~s recommendation and chose to
recommend to the City Council to have the all-way stop control installed at the subject
intersection.
In accordance With City Council policy 110-09, if the Safety Commission's vote is contrary to
the City Engineers recommendation, the traffic item will be referred to the City Council and the
authority as to such matters shall, on such referral, be vested in the City Council to be exercised
on the affirmative vote of three members of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$400 to install two R-1 stop signs, two W-17 stop ahead signs, stop legends and limit lines.

12. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS FOR ENVIRONA/[ENTAL
AND ENGINEERING SERVICES AND FOR LEGAL CONSULTING SERVICES
FOR THE SALT CREEK GRAVITY SEWER INTERCEPTOR, AND THE WOLF
CANYON TRUNK SEWER
The consultant, Dudek & Associates, is in the process of finalizing the preliminary design
report for the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor. The preliminary design report
identified an alignment for the trunk sewer that will ultimately form the basis of the final
design. The report also examined and identified all the environmental constraints that
would be attributable to the alignment and the necessary permits that would be required
for the approval of the project. Due to the current pace of development in the eastern
territories of the City, and the need to expedite the completion of the final design plans,
preparing the necessary environ_mental documents and processing the required permits
under a very challenging time constraint has made it necessary to expand the scope of
work of the consultant to meet the project objectives and deadlines.
Deputy Mayor Moot noted that an associate in his law firm may have worked with the consultant
and he would, therefore, abstain from discussing or voting on this matter.
ACTION; Councilmember Padilla offered the following resolutions, headings read, texts
waived:

ACTION ITEMS (Continued)
- Krogh, a member of the public, under oral communications at the Council meeting of
December 7, 1999. The direction of the Council was for staff to return to the Safety
Commission with a report which included the analysis provided by Mr. Krogh, and for
staff and the Commission to reconsider this item. The first Safety Commission decision,
to recommend the installation of an all-way stop, was reached at its meeting on
November 11, 1999. On March 9, 2000, staff presented a new report and all-way stop
evaluation to the Safety Commission which included Mr. Krogh's analysis, and the
Commission again voted to accept staff's report and recommendation to install the all-
way stop.
ACTION: Following Council comments regarding the seeming proliferation of stop signs
and the need to review policy issues for installing and removing stop signs, it was
the consensus of the Council to direct the City Manager to schedule a workshop to
review the Council's stop sign policy and the points system used to approve the
installation of stop signs. Staff was asked to review recent stop signs installed
along East J Street and the Rancho Del Rey circle area to see if the new signs
were really needed.
14. CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF A REPORT ON ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION REGARDING OPTIONS FOR SR-125 IMPLEMENTATION
This item was considered out o f order, immediately following Oral Communications.
Will Kempton, the City's Transportation Consultant, explained that Staff is seeking authorization
to proceed with an exploratory effort to see what options are available to the City and to review
financing options for the SR-125 extension.
Deputy Mayor Moot asked that the report address the possible need to construct an interim SR-
125 facility.
ACTION: Mayor Horton moved to direct Staff to proceed with an exploratory review of
options available to the City with regard to the toll road and its financing and to
return to the Council with the report in the near future. Councilmember Davis
seconded the motion, and it carried 5-0.

NUMBER 478-03, TITLED, "ALL-WAY STOP"
On May 2, 2000, Council directed staffto revise the all-way stop policy as a result of the
proliferation of stop signs throughout the City, and to arrange for a joint workshop with
the Safety Commission to discuss the proposed revisions. The joint workshop was held
on January 18, 2001, during which Council directed staff to present the proposed changes
to the Safety Commission at its next meeting and to report the Commission's
recommendation in the form of a resolution for Council adoption. On February 8, 2001,
the Safety Commission accepted stafffs report with one modification and recommended
that the proposed changes to the existing policy be brought forward to Council for

Public hearing closed.
Commission Discussion: Commissioner Lopez abstained from discussion/voting on this item due to the
close proximity of his residence to the subject intersection. Commissioner McAlister stated he did not feel that
a stop sign is warranted at this location and concurred with staff recommendation. Mr. AI-Ghafry defined
"traffic calming". He stated it is a collaborative effort between neighborhood residents and municipal agencies
where various devices and public awareness are used to reduce vehicular speeds, eliminate cut-through
traffic, and create a more pleasant street environment for residents. The City has a traffic calming community
in the Otay Ranch development which includes narrower streets, traffic circles, and street choking devices.
MSC (McAlister/Acton) to concur with staff's recommendation and deny the installation of an all-way stop
control on Corral Canyon Road at Coltridge Lane. (4-0-2, Liken and Lopez abstain)
7. Report on re-evaluation of East "J" and La Senda Way
Staff received a request to install an all-way stop control at the intersection of East "J" Street with La Senda
Way from Patrick McCarragher, 703 East "J" Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910. He thought the all-way stop
would be beneficial to control the high speed of vehicles traveling on East "J" Street and to resolve intersection
safety concerns due to reduced sight visibility.
Mr. AI-Ghafry presented report and Powerpoint presentation. He stated 17 phone calls were received, 4 were
in favor of the all-way stop and 13 against the installation of the all-way stop. Commissioner McAlister asked
how may studies have been conducted on this intersection. Mr. Al-Ghafry stated two previous studies were
conducted based on the old Ali-Way Stop Policy with all-way stop controls being recommended both times.
Staff Recommendation: That the Safety Commission concur with staff's recommendation and deny the
installation of an all-way stop control on East "J" Street at La Senda Way based on the location receiving
39 points of a possible 100 points pursuant to Council Policy Number 478-03.
Public hearing opened.
The following persons spoke in favor of the staff's recommendation:
1. Robert Torbett, 668 East "J" Street, Chula Vista, CA
The following persons spoke against staff's recommendation:
1. Joseph C. Hughs, 644 Via Curvada, Chula Vista, CA
2. Leonard Warwick, 820 Arroyo Place, Chula Vista, CA
3. Patrick McCarragher, 703 East "J" Street, Chula Vista, CA
Chair Cove asked Mr. McCarragher if he noticed any reduction in the speed in his neighborhood with the
installation of the stop sign at Lori Lane/East "J" Street. He responded no, that particular stop sign is located
over the hill and has had no impact on his neighborhood. There was a response from someone in the
1
Safety Commission Minutes
September 13, 2001 Page 5
audience who lives in the vicinity of Lori Lane that the stop sign does slow down traffic speeds coming down
the hill. Commissioner Lopez stated in the past, traffic congestion was an issue because commuters were
using East "J" Street as an alternative to traveling on Telegraph Canyon Road and East "H" Street. Residents
were having a difficult time exiting their driveways. Commissioner Lopez wanted to know if there was a
reduction in traffic since the addition of stop signs. A speaker from the audience stated yes; drivers were
using routes other than East "J" Street.
Public hearing closed.
Commission Discussion: Commissioner White stated in the past he was in favor of an ali-way stop at this
intersection and he is still in favor of an all-way stop. He was against staffs recommendation to deny the
request. Commissioner Liken asked staff out of the 17 phone calls that were received, how many were from
residents of the area in question. Mr. AI-Ghafry stated that the calls were received from residents of the East
"J" Street area or off of East "J" Street. Commissioner Liken stated that East "J" Street is unique. He stated
the accident rate at this T-intersection is .47 and the State average is .14. This rate is 3-times higher than the
State average. He berieved the reason for this is inadequate sight distance. He stated Council has indicated
that stop signs should not be used for speed control. Commissioner Liken believes stop signs can be used
when there is inadequate sight distance for prevailing conditions. Commissioner Acton stated the speed issue
on "J" Street has come up many times. She asked staff if the speed limit could be reduced from 35 mph to 30
mph. Mr. Al-Ghafry discussed the history of the area, He stated a speed limit is based on a speed survey that
is taken during a non-peak hour where a sample of 100 vehicles is taken. The speed limit is usually set at or
below the 85th percentile. Again, based on the street conditions, physical characteristics, a speed limit may
be reduced another 5 mph below what is set. The 85th percentile for this roadway could either be set at 40
mph or 35 mph. To reduce the speed less than 35 mph would not make a posted speed survey credible for
motorists to abide the law. Chair Gove stated the last time this item came before the Commission, she visited
the subject intersection in a van and found the sight distance to be inadequate. She visited the site this time
(in a smaller vehicle) and the sight distance was even worse. Chair Gove stated she is in favor of the
installation of an all-way stop at this intersection.
MSUC (White/Acton) to not concur with staff recommendation and install an all-way stop control at East "J"
Street and La Senda Way. (6-0-0)
Commission recessed at 9:05 p.m. and reconvened at 9:10 p.m.
6. Report on proposed modification of Jefferson Avenue between Moss Street and Crested
Butte Street
On May 18, 2001, staff received a letter from Councilmember JetW Rindone regarding the existing roadway
conditions of Jefferson Avenue between Moss Street and Crested Butte Street. The letter stated that residents
in the vicinity of the subject area had been voicing their opinions regarding the need for either road widening or
making Jefferson Avenue a one-way street.
Mr. Al-Ghafry presented staff report and Powerpoint presentation. On August 31, 2001, ballots were
distributed to all residents who lived on the subject roadway segment. Residents were asked to vote on the
following options:
Option 1: In favor of allowing Northbound traffic only (from Crested Butte Street to Moss Street)
Option 2: In favor of allowing Southbound traffic only (from Moss Street to Crested Butte Street)
Option 3: In favor of allowing two-way traffic with widening on the East side of the roadway
Qption 4: In favor of allowing two-way traffic without widening (keep as is)
Option 5: No preference
