RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO
THE "OTAY LAKES ROAD WIDENING IMPROVEMENTS
FROM CANYON DRIVE TO TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD /
LA MEDIA (STM-355)" PROJECT FROM THE AVAILABLE
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FUNDS
BALANCE
WHEREAS, during fiscal year 2004/2005, the City Council approved the appropriation
of $900,000 to begin the preliminary design and investigation work for the Otay Lakes Road
(OLR) Widening from Canyon Drive to the intersection of Telegraph Canyon Road to ease
traffic congestion and meet the City's Growth Management Oversight Committee thresholds;
and
WHEREAS, with further traffic studies, City staff discovered the need for additional
improvements on East H from the Southwestern College entrance to the Bonita Vista High
school entrance (Bazon Way) to achieve the project objective; and
WHEREAS, right-of--way is a formidable task within this project because it requires
acquisitions from Bonita Vista High School Unified School District, Southwestern College,
Church of Latter Day Saints, College Plaza -Retail Center, US Department of Defense, Navy
Housing and Charter Point Homeowner's Association; and
WHEREAS, this project has the added issue of San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E)
easements within the project limits with prior rights and this means that the City's franchise
agreement does not apply and that the City will have to pay for the relocation of SDG&E's
existing facilities and new easements; and
WHEREAS, the total project estimate, including all three phases of work, is $12.5
million; and
WHEREAS, the design of the total project is about 80% done. The budget to date is
$900,000 of Transportation Development Impact funds (TDIF); and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $500,000 to complete the
design and to initiate negotiations for utility and right-of--way of the total project: and
WHEREAS, the project is proposed to be broken into three phases in order to comply
with the TDIF cash flow requirements and urgency of improvements; and
WHEREAS, there is no impact to the General Fund, as there aze sufficient funds in the
TDIF balance for this project.
