SUMMARY
For several years, the City ofChula Vista has worked towards a goal of bringing a higher education
institution and related research facilities to the City. The City's vision, knoWn as the University
Park and Research Center (UPRC), will be located on property currently owned by the City of
Chula Vista and on adjacent property still to be acquired by the City in the Olay Ranch community.
In order for the City to recruit academic partners for the UPRC, it is necessary to retain a consultant
to conduct higher education market research and analysis to assist in these efforts.
4/5THS VOTE: YES D NO 0
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility
that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
N/A
DISCUSSION
For several years, the City has pursued a vision to develop the UPRC. The UPRC will consist of
one or more higher education providers, as well as a related research park. The City's General
7-1

Page 2
Plan shows that the UPRC will be located on land owned by the City within the Otay Ranch
community as well as on adjacent property still to be acquired by the City.
In April of 2008, the City entered into Land Offer Agreements (LOA) with JPB Development
and the Otay Land Company (OLC). The LOA with IPB Development states that upon the City's
approval of its entitlements within the Otay Ranch, JPB Development would convey 160 acres of
land to the City for the development of the proposed UPRC. The LOA with OLC would convey
50 acres for the UPRC upon approval of its entitlements. OLC also agreed to convey an
additional 160 acres of habitat land which will be used to mitigate the future UPRC.
The LOA also requires the City to process the entitlement applications within two years of their
being deemed complete. In August ofthis year, OLC's applications were deemed complete, thus
starting the two year processing corrunitment.
OLC also provided funds towards the recruitment of university partners and the initiation of the
University Land Plarming efforts, including the research and analysis that is the subject of this
report.
With land planning and entitlement efforts underway on land adjacent to the UPRC, it is prudent
for the City to begin the initial steps for the recruitment of academic partners. Over the past few
years, staff has conducted research and met with higher education leaders regarding the UPRC
concept. Based upon this analysis, it is staffs conclusion that it is necessary to provide academic
institutions with a base of information about the demand for a higher education facility. The
information universities are seeking would include such topics as the types of programs needed
and desired by the community, the demographics of college going students and the factors
utilized by students and their families in determining the type and location of a university to
attend.
In conjunction with the City's need to provide information to potential educational partners, it is
also necessary for the City and the community to gain a better understanding of the
considerations that university administrators and faculty will utilize in their decision making. To
aid in the process, staff has determined that it is necessary to obtain information regarding the
types and structures of institutions and which ones are most likely to lead to the establishment of
a four-year university; the tools used by other California communities to attract and establish
higher education institutions in recent years; potential local and regional corporate and
philanthropic funding capacity for the establishment of a four-year university; regional university
faculty views on the establishment of a university; and an analysis of the factors that facilitated
and challenged other communities seeking to establish an institution of higher education.
In order to obtain the above described data, City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a
consultant to conduct research related to the City's pursuit of higher education partners. In
response to the RFP, the City received proposals from the University of San Diego Center For
Education Policy and Law, Ira Fink and Associates, MGT of America, Inc., and the Washington
Advisory Group.

The University of San Diego Center For Education Policy and Law (CEP AL) has the ability and
expertise to conduct legal analysis, as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis. Their staff has
expertise in educational policy and higher education operations. CEP AL staff has served state-
wide educational agencies and boards, giving them a broad knowledge of Cali fomi a K-12 and
higher education policy dcvelopment and educational operation. Further, CEP AL has extensive
knowledge and insight into the San Diego regional K-12 and higher education issues. Based
upon the unique experience and qualifications of CEP AL, staff is recommending that they be
selected to conduct the rescarch and analysis necessary to assist the City in its educational
recruitment efforts.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundarics of the property which is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Chula Vista entcred into a Land Offer Agreement with the Otay Land Company for
the conveyance of land to the City for the development of the University Park and Research
Center. The Land Offer Agreement also ineluded the acceptance by the City of$1 million dollars
for university planning and recruitment purposes. The $1 million dollars has been deposited into
a University Deferred Revenue account for such activitics as the subject study. The fiscal year
20 I 0 budget for the Economic Development Division included $150,000 for costs related to
university consultants. Therefore, no additional appropriation is necessary. Further, the
expenditure of the funds from the University Deferred Revenue will not result in an impact to the
City's General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Over the next two years, staff antICipates expending additional funds for planning and
recruitment activities for the University Park and Research Center. These future activities are
anticipated to be funded in whole or in part with funds from the University Deferred Revenue,
and will also not result in an impact to the City's General Fund.

7. General Duties:
The establishment of new institutions of higher education requires careful research,
planning, and in most instances adherence to both statutes and policy of the State of
California as well as its system of higher education. The University of San Diego Center
for Education Policy and Law (CEPAL) proposes to assist the City of Chula Vista by
providing research in specific critical areas that need to be addressed early in pursuit of the
overall goal of establishing an institution of higher education in Chula Vista. In addition to
addressing statutory and policy requirements, the results of the research are intended for
use in the recruitment of higher education partners for the new campus.
8. Scope of Work and Schedule:
A. Detailed Scope of Work:
Through its affiliated faculty and research assistants enrolled in the USD School of Law
and in the USD School of Leadership and Education Sciences, CEP AL will conduct
research in the following areas and then provide options for the City to consider.
1. Criteria and procedures necessary to establish a four-year public or private university
a. Review relevant state statutes and regulations.
b. Review procedures required by the California Postsecondary Education Commission
(CPEe).
This phase of the study will be conducted as soon as funding is obtained and will be
completed by the end of June 2010. Work product will be a summary of the legal
framework for establishing a postsecondary institution of the type contemplated by the
City of Chula Vista.
2. Current capacity levels of existing institutions of higher education in San Diego County
and the identification of instructional areas and student populations that are underserved.
This part of the study will be conducted as soon as funding is obtained with completion
estimated by the end of September 2010. Work product will be a listing of the capacity
levels of existing institutions by degree category and a description of the underserved
instructional areas and student populations.
3. The college-going rates of South Bay high school students, as well as community college
transfers from Southwestern Community College to four-year institutions.
a. How many are choosing to go on to college?
b. In which institutions are they enrolling?
c. How do criteria such as family income, proximity of postsecondary educational
options, and accessibility influence the choices students make?
Page 19
7-25
This part of the study will be conducted jointly with Section 8.A.2. Work product will be
a listing of college-going rates/numbers by institutions and, to the extent information is
available, on the factors that influence South Bay students to attend postsecondary
education.
4. The growth of the South Bay student population.
a. Demographic information
b. Age trends of the college-going population
This part of the study will be conducted jointly with Section 8.A.2 and 3. Work product
will be demographic and age-trend statistics.
5. Identification of the tools that other California communities similar in size to Chula Vista
have used to attract and establish an institution of higher education in recent years (e.g.,
land, infrastructure, capital funds, facilities, operating funds, faculty/student housing).
This part of the study will encompass both conversations with California Postsecondary
Education Commission (CPEC) officials and a review of documents and news reports
pertaining to California communities that in recent years have been successful or have
not been successful in establishing a postsecondary educational institution in their area.
In addition, up to six interviews with key community leaders will be conducted. The
interviews will be recorded and summarized. They will identify the strategies that were
used to determine the need for a university and which ones worked and which ones did
not. Work product will be a description of the communities and what community
characteristics and strategies were major factors leading to the establishment of a
postsecondary educational institution and which ones were not.
6. Analysis of the types and structures of institutions that provide postsecondary education
and which ones are most likely to lead to the establishment of a four-year university in
Chula Vista.
This part of the study initially will focus on a review of CPEC documents and
conversations with CPEC officials. Once the types and structures of postsecondary
educational institutions that would most likely to be approved are identified, the research
will shift to focus on which would be most feasible for the City of Chula Vista.
Feasibility will be determined by reviewing the needs and characteristics of the City and
the existence of other public and private postsecondary educational institutions in the
area. Work product will be a summary of the research in a narrative form. (Note overlap
of the research for this category with the research conducted for Section 8.A.8 below.)
7. Assessment of potential local and regional corporate and philanthropic funding capacity
for the establishment of a four-year university in the City of Chula Vista.
Through discussions with the City of Chula Vista officials, corporate entities interested in
the establishment of a postsecondary educational institution in the City will be identified.
Interviews will be conducted with leaders of at least five such entities to gauge the extent
to which they are (I) supportive of the project concept and (2) willing and able to provide
Page 20
7-26
financial support. Additionally the research tearn will identify and provide contact
information for local and national private foundations, community foundations, and
individual philanthropists who have a proven track record of funding similar ventures.
Work product will be a \vritten summary of the interviews and a detailed profile of
philanthropic organizations and individuals that have previously provided support to an
education venture of this magnitude.
8. Ascertain views oflocal area university faculty and university deans about the
establishment of a four-year university in Chula Vista to determine how decisions were
made in the areas of:
a. Student needs not being met by local colleges and universities
b. The incenti ves that might motivate faculty and administrators to consider a position at
a postsecondary educational institution in Chula Vista
c. The type of postsecondary educational institution that would be most attractive to
faculty members as teachers and researchers.
d. The possibility of a partnership among existing postsecondary educational institutions
and among corporate enterprises in the area.
In-depth structured interviews will be conducted with 8-10 local area university
academics (vice presidents, deans, and department chairs) by June 2010.. The interviews
will be recorded and summarized systematically to identify areas of agreement and
disagreement relative to the research questions. The work product will be a summary of
the interviews.
9. Analysis of the factors that both facilitated and challenged the efforts of other California
communities opting to establish an institution of higher education. Interviews will be
conducted with university administrators, faculty and other key personnel to learn:
a. The strategies they employed to design a postsecondary educational institution that
met their needs and the impediments they faced
b. The means they employed to design academic programs that attracted faculty and
students
This part will add context from the university perspective to the rcsults of the research
regarding communities that have been successful in securing a postsecondary educational
institution (see Part 5). Three to five interviews will be conducted. The work product will
be an identification and description of the factors that led to a successful result and those
that did not from the university perspective (the community leaders perspective is
addressed in Section 8.A.5). This information will be particularly useful in designing the
process for a favorable outcome by the City of Chula Vista.
10. Recommendations for specific instmctional areas and programs appropriate for the Chula
Vista campus.
Page 21
7-27
This part will be conducted simultaneously with Parts 2, 4, 7, and 8. The work product
will be a set of recommendations about instructional areas and programs.
CEP AL will begin work once funding is secured with the expectation that the research and final
report will be completed within a four-month period. Presentation and dissemination of the
report will be at the discretion of the City of Chula Vista.
Final Report
The final report will begin by discussing the nature of the research conducted for the
study and then present the key findings for each of the ten areas of inquiry. The report
will set forth options for next steps based on the research findings. It will run no more
than 25 pages exclusive of appendices. Wherever possible, easy-to-understand figures,
