t INTRODUCTION
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 8
Every five years, redevelopment agencies are required to adopt implementation plans to establish strategic
and programmatic work plans for carrying out their activities. These plans embody and carry out the
mission, goals, and objectives of the agencies within their adopted redevelopment project areas. The Chula
Vista Redevelopment Agency has two project areas that comprise six underlying project areas:
¢ Bayfront/Town Centre I Project Area
o Bayfront
o Town Centre I
¢ Merged Project Area
o Town Centre 11
o Southwest
o Otay Valley
o Added Area
This Five Year Implementation Plan covers the five-year period from 2010 to 2014 and continues the strategy
introduced in the 2005-2009 Implementation Plan of consolidating all of the Agency's existing
implementation plans into a single, cohesive document.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
In 1993, the Legislature passed AB 1290 (Chapter 942, Statutes of 1993), which enacted the California
Community Redevelopment Law Reform Act and made sweeping changes to state redevelopment law
(Health and Safety Code §§33000 et seq.) in a major effort to increase both the effectiveness and
accountability of redevelopment agencies. One notable statutory change was the addition of Article 16.5
(§§33490 et seq.) to the law, which required redevelopment agencies to adopt five year implementation
plans for all adopted project areas on or before December 31, 1994, and every five years thereafter . Health
and Safety Code Section 33490(a) requires that these implementation plans contain:
¢ The Agency's goals and objectives, programs, and projects within the project area for the next five
years, including estimated expenditures.
¢ An explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs, projects, and expenditures will eliminate
blight and promote affordable housing within the project area.
¢ A specific section that addresses the Agency's housing responsibilities, including the Agency's Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund (tax increment "20% set-aside") and the Agency's requirements
for replacement and inclusionary housing.
Aside from these requirements, the law provides flexibility for the Agency to locally determine how to best
organize and format the contents of the plans. The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency has used that
flexibility to craft a cohesive and comprehensive document that will serve as the Agency's redevelopment
"strategic plan" for the next five years.
Midterm Review
Health and Safety Code Section 33490(c) requires redevelopment agencies, during the third year of the
implementation plan, to hold a public hearing and conduct a midterm review of the progress made within
the project area. A midterm review of this implementation plan will be conducted during 2012 with special
attention paid to the five-year work program found in Appendix B.

RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 9
PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Agency's purpose and intent in this Five Year Implementation Plan are to:
¢ Provid e decision-makers and the public a clear, readable, and user-friendly document that
effectively communicates the City's vision, goals and objectives, and programs for redevelopment.
¢ Establish five-yea r strategic objectives and work programs that are measurable, quantifiable, and
trackable and promote the long-te rm effectiveness and financial viability of the Agency.
¢ Present information about the Redevelopment Agency in an educational and informative manner.
¢ Implement the redevelopment goals of the Agency as set forth in the Agency's adopted
Redevelopment Plans.
ORGANIZATION
This Five Year Implementation Plan is the strategic plan that supports a uniform vision for redevelopment.
The first section of this plan provides a comprehensive and historical discussion of redevelopment in Chula
Vista and the role of the Agency in the City's current revitalization efforts, including:
¢ A historical overview of Chula Vista's life cycle
¢ A discussion of the role of redevelopment and the private market
¢ A description of the redevelopment project areas and a summary of the Agency's adopted goals
The rest of the plan provides the Agency's strategic focus for the next five years, including Guiding Principles
of Redevelopment and work programs by project areas. Each work program outlines key strategic objectives
that will be critical to successful redevelopment in each focus area, including:
¢ The adoption of local land use plans and redevelopment policies to guide and establish a vision for
all future redevelopment activities and projects.
c> The financing and planning of key infrastructure improvements and public amenities within the
project areas.
¢ The facilitation of key catalyst projects consistent with local plans and policies to generate tax
increment revenues for public improvements and affordable housing .
¢ The financing and creation of affordable housing through the Agency's statu tory requirements and
local housing initiatives.

On November 1 7, 2004, the
Chula Vista City Council and
Planning Commission held a
joint workshop on the City's
various planning efforts for
the revitalization and
redevelopment of Chula
Vista's Urban Core. The
workshop included a
comprehensive presentation
on the General Plan Update,
Urban Core Specific Plan,
and the role of
redevelopment in the
revitalization efforts for
western Chula Vista. The
centra l theme of the
workshop was the concept of
"The Life Cycle of a
Community," as depicted in
the illustrative model on the

Thriving, Maturing, Declining -before the cycle leads back to the re -emergence of the city through careful
reflection, re-evaluation, repurposing, and re-planning . Below is a brief narrative of Chula Vista's own life
cycle to date, which provides important context for this Five Year Impl ementation Plan .
CHULA VISTA'S LIFE CYCLE
Once the largest lemon growing center in the world, Chula Vista has rapidly
grown, developed, and expanded to become one of the nation's fastest growing
cities. Initially incorporated in 1911, much of the City's historical growth and
development traces back to World War II and the relocation of Rohr Aircraft
Corporat ion to Chula Vista in ear ly 1941 . The presence of Rohr and the post-
WWII boom brought extraord inar y population growth to Chula Vista, along with
the demand for housing, roads, schoo ls, public services, and retail services (e.g.,
shops, restaurants , markets, banks, etc.).
With an established but growing population and employment base, Chula Vista's
urban core and business economy thrived with commercia l activity and spawned 1
additiona l housing opportunities for newcomers . As the size and needs of the
community continued to grow, local downtown businesses flourished and
additional community amenities were created in response to the increasing
service and governance demands of local citizens.
Page 4
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 11
Over the next several decades, California's continued rate of population growth and housing production,
coupled with Chula Vista's regional and waterfront location between the Mexican border and downtown San
Diego, spurred the City's outward expansion and development to the east (east of lnterstate-805). Now
home to nearly a quarter-million residents, Chula Vista is the second largest city
in San Diego County.
As the City has continued to expand outward, and eastern Chula Vista has begun
to thrive and mature during the past 15 years, western Chula Vista has
experienced a decline in commercial activity and community reinvestment as
residents have sought business and retail services elsewhere, including eastern
Chula Vista, downtown San Diego, and Mission Valley. The decline in private
investment in the urban core has led toward decreased small business retention
and attraction, reduced private investment, and a loss of external confidence in
the area's housing market. It has also led to the ongoing physical deterioration of
some of the City's housing stock, shrinking tax revenues to the City, and a greater
need for infrastructure improvements.
To evolve past western Chula Vista's cycle of decline, and create a path toward the reemergence of a thriving
economy and housing market, the City Council created a vision for the revitalization of the City's downtown
urban core through the City's General Plan Update (adopted on December 13, 2005) and the Urban Core
Specific Plan (adopted on April 26, 2007).
THE ROLE OF REDEVELOPMENT
The establishment of a planning and regulatory framework for the City is not the only vital ingredient that
will allow a new vision for Chula Vista to unfold. Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Code do not
mandate that the area must change but instead means it can change in a well thought-out, logical manner .
Urban change and revitalization contain a myriad of "risk variables" that influence market forces and market
confidence (or inversely, market risk), including:
¢ Local demographics
¢ Existing housing types and prices
¢ Ability of the market to absorb new units
¢ Development costs (e.g ., construction costs, fees)
¢ Interest rates
¢ Ability of the existing housing market to support various product types and pricing
Redevelopment plays an important role in urban revitalization through the tools it can employ to directly
influence the private market, reduce risk, and create market confidence. Redevelopment can facilitate new
development that might not normally occur under existing market conditions by using its tools to help
address the risk variables described above. The tools and requirements of the Redevelopment Agency
include (see Appendix A for definitions of terminology):
¢ Tax increment financing to fund public improvements and provide financial assistance to qualifying
developers for qualifying projects in the form of gap financing
¢ Required 20 percent monetary set-aside of all tax increment revenues for low-and moderate income
housing
¢ 15 percent affordable housing production requirement
Page 5
)
¢ Land acquisition and parcel assemblage
¢ Relocation assistance and replacement housing
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 12
With these tools, redevelopment can act as a catalyst to "jumpstart" the revitalization process in conformance
with the City 's land use plans . Once redevelopment efforts create enough market confidence, the private
market can run its own course and le ad the City back toward a state of thriving through further risk-taking,
renovation, and redevelopment. By law, however, redevelopment is limited on ly to areas of a city that are in
a state of decline and are physically and economical ly blighted. Its direct influence on the private housing
market is therefore limited to "project areas" adopted by the redevelopment agency . The following map
depicts Chula Vista's redevelopment project areas in shaded zones.

Affordable Housing
Through redevelopment tools, agencies also play a vital role in the
funding and production of affordable housing. Within adopted project
areas, redeve lopment agencies receive a higher level of property tax
revenues that would normally be allocated to the state and other taxing
entities. In exchange, the state requires that 20 percent of all of these
"tax increment" revenues be set aside for the development of affordab le
housing. To ensure that these monies are in fact used for the production
of affordable housing, the state requires that 15 percent of all new
residential units built in an adopted project area be restricted to
households of very low, low, and moderate incomes . Next to the federal
Page 6
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 13
government, redevelopment is the largest provider of affordable housing for
California's low and moderate income families . Later sections of this Plan will
address the Agency's affordable housing priorities and obligations in much
greater detail.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
All tax increment monies generated in adopted redevelopment project areas are allocated
among three basic public uses: (1) affordable housing, (2) schools and other public agencies,
and (3) public improvements and other redevelopment activities. (The pie chart exhibit
below provides an example of how $1 million of tax increment revenues would be
allocated among the three uses.) One of the most important benefits of redevelopment is
the ability to use tax increment funds to help pay for public improvements that would
normally be paid for by the City's general fund . By relieving the City of those financial
obligations, redevelopment frees up general fund dollars to help the City focus its resources
on other key service and infrastructure priorities inside and outside of redevelopment project areas. The five
year work program contained in this Plan recognizes the important role that redevelopment plays in funding
public improvements and identifies key infrastructure projects that will be strategically critical to successful
redevelopment in the project areas.

The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency was created on October 24, 1972 by City Council Ordinance No.
1425. Since the Agency's creation, the City has adopted and amended six project areas to encompass a total
of approximately 3,563 acres of City territory. Current land uses within these areas are mostly commercial
and industrial, but also include residential (primarily high and medium-high density) and public uses (e.g.,
governmental administrative centers, corporation yards, streets, etc.). In 1979 and 2000, the City financially
merged the various project areas into two primary configurations: (1) the Merged Bayfront/T own Centre I
Redevelopment Project Area (1979) and (2) the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area (2000).
The merger of project areas allows the Agency to pool tax increment revenues generated in different project
areas and leverage them appropriately to create benefit for the entire merged project area. The following
provides a brief hi storical summary of the Agency's two merged project areas. For more detailed information
about each project area, please refer to the Project Area Profiles in Appendix D.

Early Redevelopment Efforts: Merged Bayfront/T own Centre I Project Area
Following its creation in 1972, the Agency's
initial focus and resources were dedicated to
the City's waterfront and the historic downtown
Third Avenue business corridor . In 1974, the
City adopted the Bayfront Original Project Area,
which encompassed approximately 637 acres of
territory east of the mean high tide line. Two
years later, the City adopted the Town Centre I
Project Area in 1976, encompassing
approximately 138 acres of territory located
along and around the downtown Third Avenue
business corridor . In July 1979, the two project
areas were consolidated into a single Merged
Bayfront/Town Centre I Redevelopment Project
Area. To help facilitate planning efforts along
the waterfront, the City adopted the Bayfront
Amended Project Area in 1998, adding
approximately 398 acres of territory west of the
mean high tide line to the Merged Bayfront/Town Centre I Project Area.
Growth and Expansion: Merged Chula Vista Project Area
As the City's population and economic growth
expanded to the south and east during the next
thirty years, the City incorporated additional
urbanized territories. The Town Centre II
Original Project Area was adopted in 1978 to
include a large number of commercial
properties along the Broadway business
corridor. In 1983, the City adopted the Otay
Valley Project Area to capture and leverage
revenues generated in the City's Auto Park
Specific Plan areas. Five years later, additional
territories in the northern, western, and
southern sections of the City were included in
the City's project areas through the adoption of
the Town Centre II Amended Project Area in
1988. In 1985, the City annexed approximately
2,500 acres known as the Montgomery Area

and subsequently adopted the Southwest Original Project Area in 1990 to help address the area's historical
infrastructure issues as an unincorporated County community. Additional territory was added to that area in
1991 through the adoption of the Southwest Amended Project Area. Most recently in 2004, additional
territories spread across western Chula Vista were incorporated to constitute the Added Area Project Area .
To streamline and simplify plans and reduce confusion, the City at that time concurrently consolidated each
of these areas (Town Centre 11, Southwest, Otay Valley, Added Area) into a single Merged Chula Vista
Redevelopment Project Area.

THE GOALS OF REDEVELOPMENT
As a Five Year Implementation Plan, this Plan establishes a programmatic work plan for implementing and
achieving the goals of the Redevelopment Agency over the next five years . Those strategic goals are set forth
in the Agency's adopted redevelopment plans for the Merged Bayfront/Town Centre I and Merged Chula
Vista Project Areas, and are listed as follows.
WORK
INftff
GIIDW
LIVli
Stimulate Economic Growth: Attract, expand, and retain desirable business and industry which
effectively increases local employment opportunities for community residents and enhance the
tax base of local governments.
Construct Infrastructure Improvements: Provide needed improvements to the utility
infrastructure and public facilities that serve the Project Areas. Also, provide needed
improvements to the community's education, cultural, and other community facilities to better
serve the Project Areas.
Promote Compatible Development: To encourage the development of residential, commercial,
and industrial environments which positively relate to adjacent land uses, upgrade and stabilize
existing uses, and promote and preserve artistically, architecturally, and historically worthwhile
structures and sites .
Balanced Housing Opportunities: Increase, improve, and preserve the community's supply of
varied housing opportunities for all persons at all income levels .
The five year work program contained in this Plan (Appendix B) links and cross-references each of the
Agency's planned activities for the next five years back to these strategic goals.

STRATEGIC FOCUS
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 16
It is the mission of the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency "To enhance urban
Chula Vista through collaborative partnerships that realize the physical and
economic potential of the community." Achieving this mission will be heavily
influenced by the ability of the Redevelopment Agency to effectively create
and leverage public resources that attract private investment. Private
investment, in turn, will generate and capture local tax increment revenues to
improve public facilities, infrastructure, and amenities (e.g., streetscapes, public
art, plazas, landscaping, affordable housing, etc.). Improvements to Chula
Vi sta's urban landscape will further promote greater public and private investment in the local business
community, retail base, and housing market.
The strategic focus of the Agency's work program for the next five years will be to strengthen the financial
viability and capacity of the Agency to proactively pursue the revitalization and redevelopment goals of the
City. The Agency should leverage existing resources and assets to facilitate high-quality, urban development
that will generate significant revenue streams to the City and Agency (e.g ., tax increment, sales tax, transient
occupancy tax) for public improvements and the creation of new affordable housing . The Agency will
continue to prioritize outreach and education to the community about the goals, tools, and benefits of
redevelopment, recognizing the critical importance of public participation in the redevelopment process .
GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF REDEVELOPMENT
Consistent with the strategic focus of the Agency, the policy foundation and direction of this Five Year
Implementation Plan is rooted in two simple but critical Guiding Principles of Redevelopment.
Guiding Principle #1: Leverage Public/Private Investment and Resources
Leverage City/Agency resources to improve public amenities, infrastructure, and affordable housing that
attract private investment:
• Strategic and accountable public investments
• Land assembly
• Business reinvestment and expansion
• Debt issuance
Although past redevelopment activities in Chula Vista have resulted in important projects for the City, they
have not historically served to strengthen the long-term financial viability of the Agency. To ensure the fiscal
health of the Agency, a key priority of the Agency during the next five years will be to leverage existing
resources and assets; fund needed public amenities, infrastructure, and affordable housing; and attract and
facilitate catalyst projects. This guiding principle establishes important policy direction to spend public
resources and assets to improve public spaces and facilities that benefit the community as a whole.
Page 10
RDA Resolution No. 2009 -2014
Page 17
Guiding Principle #2: Community Outreach & Education
Promote and facilitate early and transparent public input and participation that emphasizes community
education about the goals, tools, and process of redevelopment.
The Redevelopment Agency recognizes that its success relies heavily on effective community outreach and
education about the goals and benefits of redevelopment. It also recognizes the importance of early
outreach and education in the redevelopment process. This guiding principle is consistent with the three
Principles of Public Input & Participation adopted by the City Council on May 24, 2005 as formal policy
statements . Those principles were adopted with the creation of the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation
("CVRC") and are as fol lows:
1. Public input and participation should occur early and often.
2 . Public input and participation should be open, inclusive, and accessible .
3. Public input and participation should be educational and informative.
The importance of this principle is demonstrated by the community engagement process that was
implemented in the preparation of this plan. The CVRC Directors worked closely with Agency staff and were
directly engaged in outreach from the beginning of this process In April 2009, CVRC Directors and Agency
staff held three community workshops in various redevelopment project area locations (Bayfront, North, and
South) followed by eight presentations to key stakeholders and community organizations. On May 28, 2009,
Agency staff convened a Redevelopment Implementation Plan Working Group ("Working Group")
comprised of 11 volunteers from the following local organizations: Crossroads, Southwest Civic Association,
Northwest Civic Association, Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, Third Avenue Village Association, South
County Economic Development Council, Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors, Main Street Businesses,
the Broadway Business Association, Chula Vista Civic Association, and Chula Vistans for Community Action .
The Working Group met with staff over a seven -month period and accomplished the following :
■
■
■
Developed and prioritized the redevelopment goals
Discussed and agreed to the redevelopment strategic objectives
Reviewed and finalized the redevelopment projects list
The Working Group not only accomplished the above tasks, they also agreed to continue as an ongoing
resource working with staff to prioritize and implement redevelopment projects. This provides consistency
and strengthens the cooperative relationships between Agency staff, the stakeholders, and the greater
community .
Another key component to the process of developing this Plan is the involvement of the CVRC and the
Redevelopment Agency. Two joint workshops were held in August and November of 2009. The August
workshop included presentations on Redevelopment Basics by John Shirey of the California Redevelopment
Association, Redevelopment Agency Financials by Suzanne Harrell, of Harrell and Company, and an
overview of the process for developing the Implementation Plan and a draft work plan by Agency staff. The
November workshop discussed in detail the draft five year redevelopment work plan along with a review of
the Agency financial projections for 2010-2014 and where the Agency is on meeting its housing compliance
goals and objectives. These workshops were valuable opportunities for building alignment and
understanding between the two bodies, engaging in dialogue with the community, and providing direction
to Agency staff .

The core elements of this Five Year Implementation Plan are the five year work programs deve loped for each
of the redevelopment project areas. The work programs share a common sequence of strategic objectives
designed to create a logical and strategic plan for successfu l redevelopment.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
Much of a redevelopment agency's success depends on its abi lity to time projects to market opportunities,
anticipate and respond quickly to the needs of investors, and build bonding capacity to support new
development and public improvements. The Agency's five year work programs are structured around three
consistent strateg ic objectives intended to maximize the Agency's responsiveness to market opportunities,
manage public and private risk, and faci litate the creation of pub lic improvements and affordable housing.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #1: PLANS & POLICIES
Redevelopment is a cata lyst and tool to pursuing a vision that is cast by City leaders through land use
plans and policies. Long-range plans that support redevelopment activities provide policy direction to
derive the greatest public benefit from redevelopment activities and projects, and discourage inefficient
piecemeal development. By establishing land use objectives and policies, development standards, and
design guidelines, the City sets the policy stage for redevelopment and helps create a reduced-risk
environment that more readily attracts private investment. Land use plans and policies also provide the
framework for planning and financing infrastructure that will support new development. Therefore, the
first and highest priority in each geographic focus area is the estab li shment of long-range land use plans
and policies that create a vision for redevelopment.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #2: PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE & AMENITIES
As land use plans and po li cies are crafted and updated to support the revitalization goa ls of the City, the
City and Agency must also determine how to proactively finance and build the pub li c infrastructure and
amenities needed to support new development. Tax increment generated from new development can be
leveraged and spent on public improvements and amenities that benefit the entire project area and
neighborhood, and not just individual development projects. Redevelopment dollars used to construct
necessary capital improvements can also serve as a cata lyst to new development particularly when
remediating brownfields. By strategically building infrastructure to promote future development, the
Agency will advance the revitalization goals of the City while creating an environment that attracts
capita l and is more readily responsive to market opportunities.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #3: CATALYST PROJECTS
Redevelopment acts as a "sparkp lu g" in city revitalization efforts, creating just enough energy and
momentum in a city's economic engine to let it rev up and run on its own. By strategically focusing and
leveraging resources on a few key "catalyst projects," redevelopment can spark enough market
confidence to attract private investment to a city's revitalization vision and plans. The following five
year work programs identify these types of key cata lyst projects for each project area.
REDEVELOPMENT WORK PROGRAM
The work programs for each geographic focus area are consistently structured around the three strategic
objectives: (1) Plans & Policies, (2) Public Infrastructure & Amenities, and (3) Cata lyst Projects . The specific
programs, projects, or activities under these objectives, however, will vary from area to area, based on the
Page 12
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 19
unique physical and socio-economic characteristics of each. Detailed five year work programs identifying
those programs, projects, and activities for the Bayfront/Town Centre I and Merged Project Areas are located
in Appendix B of this Plan. The following provides a summary description of the highlights of the strategic
objectives for each redevelopment project area.
Bayfront/T own Centre I Work Program
Plans & Policies
This redevelopment project area is comprised of two
distinct areas: the City's historic downtown along Third
Avenue, and the Bayfront which contains prime waterfront
properties with amazing redevelopment opportunities to
create a new and improved marina, a resort conference
center, parks and recreation facilities, and new housing.
The City and Port of San Diego have spent many years
collaboratively developing a Bayfront Master Plan that
establishes a vision and policies to guide the development
of a world-class bayfront. Completion of these planning
activities wi 11 require approvals of several local and state
agencies, including the California Coastal Commission's
approval of an amendment to the City's Local Coastal
Program (LCP).
Public Infrastructure & Amenities
Redevelopment will be an integral factor in funding public improvements to support new development and
enhance the aesthetic environment of the Urban Core, particularly in the Bayfront. Historical uses in the
Bayfront (e.g., Goodrich Corporation, Rohr Aircraft Corporation) were primarily industrial and required
limited infrastructure and utility systems to support their operations and activities . Redevelopment of the
Bayfront area into a dynamic array of hotel, residential, and recreational uses will require considerable
infrastructure upgrades and improvements to support those uses, and developing an infrastructure financing
plan will be complex and require significant inter-agency coordination and support. Tax increment financing
will be a major contributor to the substantial infrastructure costs in the Bayfront which further necessitates
the need to extend the project area time limit. The Bayfront redevelopment area will expire in 2017, two
years before Town Centre I.
This will be the last opportunity for the Redevelopment Agency to fund significant improvements in the
downtown Third Avenue business corridor because of its location in the Town Centre I Redevelopment
Project Area. Adopted in 1976, the Town Centre I Project Area is scheduled to expire in 2019, leaving only
9 years to spend tax increment in the Third Avenue corridor. The following priority projects have been
identified for the next five years to improve public infrastructure and amenities:
c::> Third Avenue Streetscape Improvement Master Plan. Public infrastructure and amenities to support
key catalyst projects and future redevelopment activity along the downtown Third Avenue business
corridor . The plan will include st reet improvements, street furniture, and lighting to increase
walkability and pedestrian interaction, improve circulation and provide for quality design, aesthetics,
and identity to the area for marketing and redevelopment. (Town Centre I, Added Area)
c::> Amend Original Bayfront Project Area . Extend the timeline to collect tax increment by ten years.
(Bayfront)
c::> Bayfront Infrastructure Improvements. Finance roadway, sewer and water infrastructure system
improvements, construct a fire station, and remediate brownfields that will facilitate the
Page 13

Page 20
implementation of the CVBMP that proposes a signature park, resort/convention center, hotels,
residential and mixed-use/office commerc ial, waterfront retail, a new commercial harbor and
improved navigation channel, and a public promenade and bike trail. (Bayfront)
Key Catalyst Projects
The Agency shou ld leverage existing resources and assets in the Bayfront!Town Centre I Area to facilitate key
catalyst projects that will attract new investment to help create and improve public amenities, infrastructure,
and housing for all income-levels. The Redevelopment Agency will play an important role in facilitating and
negotiating key catalyst projects that will economica lly anchor the Bayfront Master Plan .
c:::> Third Avenue Redevelopment Opportunities. Leverage existing resources and assets along the
downtown Third Avenue business corridor to co ll aborative ly work with qualified developers, such
as Voyage LLC, to design and build high-quality, mixed-use projects that are consistent with the
City's vision, plans, and policies for the Urban Core . (Town Centre I, Added Area)
c::::> Resort Conference Center. Development of a major resort conference center will generate
sign ifi cant tax increment, transient-occupancy tax, and sa les tax revenues to provide needed funding
for the planning and financing of key public infrastructure and amenities in the Bayfront. (Bayfront)
c:::> Bayfront Residential Development. Design and development of a major residential project that
utilizes the prime waterfront location of the Bayfront, and creates greater activity in the area to
support shopping, dining, and recreating. (Bayfront)
Merged Project Area Work Program
Plans & Policies
This redevelopment project area includes a myriad of
land uses and historical development patterns. The
Otay Valley Project Area encompasses territories east of
the 1-805 Freeway that are planned for auto dealership
uses through the City's Auto Park Specific Plans.
Significant development activity is a lready underway in
accordance with those land use plans and policies . It is
particularly important to recognize that a large portion
of this project area consists of territories annexed to the
City 25 years ago after many years as an unincorporated
County area . Known as the Montgomery Area, it is
characterized by a history of piecemeal development

practices, a wide range of incompatible uses, and serious infrastructure deficiencies, including roads, curbs,
gutters, and sidewa lks. It is also characterized, however, by numerous light-industrial uses and large-sized
parcels, particularly along Main Street, that could provide important redevelopment and economic
development opportunities to the City, includin g the creation of new commercia l and li ght-industria l uses,
and expansion of existing and compatible uses. Additional residential and commercial development
opportunities exist along the southern sections of Third Avenue and Broadway. To create a comprehensive
and consistent vision for the successful redevelopment of the Southwest Chu la Vista Area, it will be a high
priority of the Agency to help fund and coordinate the preparation of a Southwest Specific Plan for the
Palomar, West Fairfield, Main Street, Third Avenue and Broadway areas . The Southwest Specific Plan would
estab li sh development standards and design guide lines consistent with the land use policies and objectives
identified in the Southwest Area Plan of the 2005 General Plan Update.
Page 14
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 21
Public Infrastructure & Amenities
Although the City has made significant progress upgrading Montgomery infrastructure since the 1985
annexation, major deficiencies continue to exist and will need to be addressed to support redevelopment
and economic development efforts in the Merged Project Area. Upon completion of the Main Street and
Broadway Specific Plans, Streetscape Master Plans wi 11 be developed for both those areas to provide the
roadmap, financing estimate and timeline for a capital improvement program. Additionally, the
Redevelopment Agency is proposing to issue debt to finance the implementation of the improvements
described in those plans. These redevelopment activities will compliment the City's Infrastructure
Management Program that provides an inventory of infrastructure deficiencies and establishes a prioritization
system for addressing those deficiencies.
Key Catalyst Projects
Upon preparation and completion of a Southwest Specific Plan, key catalyst projects in the Merged project
area will include:
¢ Auto Park Expansion. Explore expansion options and potential for other compatible uses.
Eexpansion of the Auto Park area east of the 1-805 Freeway will generate much needed tax
increment and sales tax revenues . (Otay Valley)
¢ Redevelopment Opportunities . The South Third Avenue, Broadway, and Main Street corridors will
provide important opportunities for redevelopment and economic development. Key catalyst
projects along these corridors will generate significant revenues to fund public improvements and
amenities in the area. This includes evaluating the reuse options for the historic Salt Works site and
the West Fairfield area . (Southwest, Added Area)

HOUSING WORK PROGRAM
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 22
In addition to the plans, activities, and projects just described in the redevelopment work programs, the
facilitation and financing of affordable housing in the project areas is an important and mandatory function of
redevelopment. As tax increment revenues are generated in redevelopment project areas, 20 percent of the
gross revenue stream is immediately set aside and placed in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
(Low-Mod Fund). Those funds, pooled with other federal and state resources and tax credits, provide an
important financing tool to assist in the development of income-restricted, affordable housing projects . Low
and Moderate Income Housing Funds can also be used to finance housing programs, including for first time
homebuyers, land purchases for affordable housing and the rehabilitation of existing multifamily housing.
Housing Compliance
To ensure that redevelopment agencies appropriately plan and use housing set-aside funds for the creation of
new affordable housing, state redevelopment law requires that five year implementation plans address three
specific areas of housing that redevelopment plays a critical role in:
¢ Housing Production: Based on the number of housing units constructed or substantially
rehabilitated over a ten -year period, a Redevelopment Agency must ensure that a percentage (15%)
of these units are affordable to low and moderate income households.
¢ Replacement Housing: Redevelopment Agencies must ensure that any housing units destroyed or
removed as a result of redevelopment agency activities are replaced within four years.
¢ Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds & Expenditures by Household Type: State law
establishes specific requirements on the amount of housing set-aside funds an agency must spend
over a 10-year period to facilitate housing that is affordable to very low and low income households.
Please turn to Appendix C for a comprehensive and detailed report on each of these reporting
requirements.
Strategic Housing Objectives
In addition to meeting these legal requirements, this Five Year Implementation Plan sets forth strategic
housing objectives that promote and build capacity in the Agency's ability to proactively facilitate and fund
new affordable housing opportunities in western Chula Vista. These are citywide strategic objectives that
apply to all three geographic focus areas, and the redevelopment Project Areas within .
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #1: EXPANSION OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
The Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds are historically the largest
source of funds consistently used to help finance affordable housing. Expansion of the redevelopment
Project Areas would further the Agency's legislative charge to remove blight, and strengthen the
Agency's ability to leverage Low-Mod Funds for affordable housing, including new construction and land
purchases. Expansion of the Project Areas would not increase or impact property taxes that owners are
assessed, but instead increase the portion of those taxes that can be locally captured by the Agency,
including monies leveraged to fund public infrastructure and amenities. Annual deposits into the Low-
Mod Fund for the next five years are currently estimated at approximately $3 million per year, totaling an
estimated $15.3 million during the FY 2009/10-2013/14 period.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #2: AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
To promote safe and sanitary affordable housing in western Chula Vista and to meet the requirements of
State law, the Agency should focus and prioritize their Low-Mod Funds within redevelopment project
Page 16
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 23
areas in neighborhoods of greatest need . State redevelopment law contains an inclusionary housing
requirement that provides that at least 15 percent of all new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units
developed within a redevelopment project area be available at affordable housing costs to, and occupied
by, persons and families of low and moderate income (Health and Safety Code §33413(b)). Of this 15
percent, at least 60 percent must be available to low and moderate income persons or families. At least
40 percent must be available to very low income persons or families .
While the Agency may spend its Low-Mod Funds to provide affordable housing opportunities outside of
the project areas, the Agency must determine, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2(g),
that the use of the Agency's Housing funds outside of the project area is of benefit to the area.
Additionally, pursuant to Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(ii) , the Agency receives a one (1) unit credit for every
two (2) affordable units located outside of the Project Area. In considering the Agency's financial
participation in affordable housing outside of the project areas, the Agency shall evaluate each
opportunity on a case-by-case basis and take into consideration the economic and public benefits of such
participation .

APPENDIX A: :'.:TERMINOLOGY
The fol lowing are definitions of terms and phrases used throughout this report. Th is list has been prepared to
reduce confusion and avoid their common misuse to describe the City's various planning and redevelopment
activities in western Chula Vista .
20 Percent Set-Aside: The California Community Redevelopment Law requires that at least 20 percent of all
tax increment revenues generated from a redevelopment project area must be used by the Redevelopment
Agency to increase, improve, and preserve the community's supply of affordable housing for persons and
families of low and moderate income (Health and Safety Code §33334.2). Health and Safety Code Section
33334.3 further requires that all set-aside funds are required to be held in a separate Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund until used, including any interest earned and repayments to the Fund. The Agency
may spend monies from the Housing Fund either within or outside of the redevelopment project areas, if the
Agency finds that the use of the monies outside will benefit the project areas (§33334 .2(g)).
Absorption Rates: The rate at which real estate properties are able to be sold or leased within a designated
market region or focus area. Absorption rates are often used to forecast market conditions and analyze the
feasibility of a project based on a variety of market factors. Absorption rates are also used to describe the rate
of change, turnover of property, and creation of new housing units over an identified period of time.
Affordable Housing: Housing that has a deed restriction regulating the maximum income level of occupants
and the maximum rent or sales price.
Agency Participation: The direct participation of a redevelopment agency in a project through the execution
of an agreement with the developer (e.g., Disposition and Development Agreement, Owner Participation
Agreement). Such an agreement for a redevelopment project triggers the requirement for an Agency to: (1)
provide relocation assistance and benefits to residents and business owners; and (2) replace housing units on
a one-for-one basis if the project will destroy housing for low-or moderate income residents .
Blight: A primary legislative charge of a redevelopment agency is to eliminate blight. Territory included
within a redevelopment project area must therefore meet specific statutory requirements regarding blight.
Health and Safety Code Section 33030 defines "blighted area" as one that is : (1) predominately urbanized;
(2) underutilized to the extent that is constitutes a serious physical and economic burden on the community;
and (3) characterized by one or more physical or economic conditions as described and set forth in Section
33031:
33031. (a) This subdivision describes physical conditions that cause blight:
Page 18
(1) Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work. These conditions may
be caused by serious building code violations, serious dilapidation and deterioration caused by long-
term neglect, construction that is vulnerable to serious damage from seismic or geologic hazards,
and faulty or inadequate water or sewer utilities.
(2) Conditions that prevent or substantially hinder the viable use or capacity of buildings or lots.
These conditions may be caused by buildings of substandard, defective, or obsolete design or
construction given the present general plan, zoning, or other development standards.
(3) Adjacent or nearby incompatible land uses that prevent the development of those parcels or
other portions of the project area.
(4) The existence of subdivided lots that are in multiple ownership and whose physical
development has been impaired by their irregular shapes and inadequate sizes, given present
general plan and zoning standards and present market conditions .

Page 25 REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
Five Year Implementation Plan
2010 to 2014
(b) This subdivision describes economic conditions that cause blight:
(1) Depreciated or stagnant property values.
(2) Impaired property values, due in significant part, to ha za rdous wastes on property where the
agency may be eligible to use its authority as specified in Article 12 .5 (commencing with Section
33459).
(3) Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, or an abnormally high
number of abandoned buildings.
(4) A serious lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods,
including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions.
(5) Serious residential overcrowding that has resulted in significant public health or safety
problems . As used in this paragraph, "overcrowding" means exceeding the standard referenced in
Article 5 (commencing with Section 32) of Chapter 1 of Title 25 of the California Code of
Regulations.
(6) An excess of bars, liquor stores, or adult-oriented businesses that has resulted in significant
public health, safety, or welfare problems.
(7) A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the public safety and welfare.
California Community Redevelopment Law: The authority to establish a redevelopment agency, and the
authorities granted to an agency, including the adoption and implementation of a redevelopment plan, is
granted and governed by the California Community Redevelopment Law. The Law is contained in California
Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq.
Eminent Domain: Eminent domain is considered by the U.S. and California Constitutions as the sovereign
right of government to take private property for public use. The U.S. Constitution limits the use of eminent
domain by providing that "private property shall not be taken for a public use, without just compensation."
Some state legislatures further limit, or establish procedures for, the use of eminent domain. In California,
the legislature has enacted a comprehensive statute known as the Eminent Domain Law, contained in
Sections 1230.010, et seq, of the California Code of Civil Procedure . The California Community
Redevelopment Law provides for the use of eminent domain to eliminate blight. The Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency has adopted local policies within the City's Redevelopment Plan for the Merged
Chula Vista Project Area that prohibit the use of eminent domain on any property that is both zoned and
used for residential purposes.
Housing Element: The State of California requires cities and counties to prepare a Housing Element as part
of their comprehensive General Plans. The Housing Element must address the housing need for all income
levels through adequate zoning, policies, and programs. The City of Chula Vista's existing Housing Element
(originally created for the 1999-2004 planning cycle) was approved by the State of California in 1999. The
City is in the process of updating the Housing Element to address similar housing needs and policy issues for
the 2005-2010 planning cycle.
Redevelopment lnclusionary Housing Requirement: Redevelopment law requires that at least 15 percent of
all new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed within a redevelopment project area be
available at affordable housing costs to, and occupied by, persons and families of low and moderate income
(Health and Safety Code §33413(b)). Of this 15 percent, at least 60 percent must be avai I able to low-and
moderate income persons or families. At lea st 40 percent must be available to very low income persons or
families.
Redevelopment Project Area: Territories adopted by and placed under the jurisdiction and authority of a
redevelopment agency. Within project area boundaries, the Agency may use its general powers to collect
tax increment revenues, create a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, and conduct other
redevelopment activities in accordance with the California Community Redevelopment Law. A project area
is a "predominantly urbanized area of a community which is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which is
Page 19

RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT A~26
Five Year Implementation Plan
2010 to 2014
necessary to effectuate the public purposes" of a Redevelopment Agency as set forth under state law (Health
and Safety Code §33320.1 ).
Relocation Assistance: When applicable, Federal and state laws establish extensive relocation rules and
regulations for cities and redevelopment agencies.
c:> The Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (URA) dictate
relocation regulations in relation to the public acquisition of real estate for a Federal project or a
project in which Federal funds are used.
c:> California Government Code (beginning at Section 7260) prescribes the process and procedures for
relocation assistance by public agencies when applicable.
Replacement Housing: Subdivision (a) of Section 33413 the California Health and Safety Code sets forth the
Redevelopment Agency's statutory requirements for replacement housing :
33413. (a) Whenever dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income are
destroyed or removed from the low-and moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment
project that is subject to a written agreement with the agency or where financial assistance has been
provided by the agency, the agency shall, within four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate,
develop, or construct, or cause to be rehabi I itated, developed, or constructed, for rental or sale to
persons and families of low or moderate income, an equal number of replacement dwelling units that
have an equal or greater number of bedrooms as those destroyed or removed units at affordable housing
costs within the territorial jurisdiction of the agency. When dwelling units are destroyed or removed
after September 1, 1989, 75 percent of the replacement dwelling units shall replace dwelling units
available at affordable housing cost in the or a lower income level of very low income households,
lower income households, and persons and families of low and moderate income, as the persons
displaced from those destroyed or removed units . When dwelling units are destroyed or removed on or
after January 1, 2002, 100 percent of the replacement dwelling units shall be available at affordable
housing cost to persons in the same or a lower income category (low, very low, or moderate), as the
persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units .
Tax Increment: Tax increment is the primary source of revenue that redevelopment agencies have to fund
and undertake public improvement and affordable housing projects. It is based on the assumption that a
revitalized project area will generate more property taxes than were being produced before redevelopment.
When a redevelopment project area is adopted, the current assessed values of the property within the project
area are designated as the base year value. Tax increment comes from the increased assessed value of
property, not from an increase in tax rate . Any increases in property value, as assessed because of change of
ownership or new construction, will increase tax revenue generated by the property. This increase in tax
revenue is the tax increment that goes to the Agency.

APPENDIX C: AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION PLAN
"The Legislature finds and declares that the prov1s1on of housing is itself a
fundamental purpose of the Community Redevelopment Law and that a generally
inadequate statewide supply of decent, safe, and sanitary housing affordable to
persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined by Section 50093,
threatens the accomplishment of the primary purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law, including job creation, attracting new private investments,
and creating physical, economic, social, and environmental conditions to remove
and prevent the recurrence of blight."
Health and Safety Code Section 33334.6(a)
OVERVIEW
To ensure that low and moderate income families have housing opportunities available to them as project
areas change and redevelop, state law establishes three fundamental requirements of redevelopment
agencies (listed below). As a result of these requirements, redevelopment agencies play an important role in
the funding and production of affordable housing for the entire community.
¢ Housing Production: Based on the number of housing units constructed or substantially
rehabilitated over a ten year period, a Redevelopment Agency must ensure that a percentage of these
units are affordable to low and moderate income households.1
¢ Replacement Housing: Redevelopment Agencies must ensure that any housing units destroyed or
removed as a re sult of an Agency redevelopment project are replaced within four years.
¢ Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds & Expenditures by Household Types: A minimum of 20
percent of all of "tax increment" revenues mu st be set aside for the development of affordable
housing. The law establishes specific requirements for the amount of housing set-aside funds an
agency must spend over a 10-year period on housing that is affordable to very low and low income
households.
This section of the Implementation Plan addresses these three specific requirements of State law with respect
to prior affordable housing activities and the anticipated housing program in the future . The Plan specifically
demonstrates how the Agency has met its obligations in years prior to 2010 and the activities, polices and/or
procedures that the City and Agency may pursue to increase and encourage the provision of housing
affordable to very low and low or moderate income households within the current 10 year forecast of 2004-
05 to 2013-14.
HOUSING PRODUCTION
The Agency must ensure that very low and low and moderate income
households have opportunities to reside within Redevelopment Project Areas
as these areas change and redevelop, through the provision of affordable
housing. When new or substantially rehabilitated housing is produced
within Redevelopment Project Areas, the Agency incurs an obligation to

REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT A!Wts34

2010 to 2014
provide a portion of these housing units as affordable to very low and low and moderate-income households .
This requirement is known as the inclusionary housing or production requirement (California Health and
Safety Code §33413).
The requirement for affordable housing differs for Agency-developed housing versus privately-developed
housing. If housing is developed by the Agency, the Agency 's requirement to provide affordab le housing is
based upon a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of these housing units . Not less than half of these units, or
fifteen percent (15%), sha ll be availab le for very low income households. The requirement is a minimum of
fifteen percent (15%) when developed by persons or entities other than the Agency. At least forty percent
(40%) of these units (or 6% of the total) must be available for very low income households. Historically, the
Agency has not directly developed any housing and does not anticipate developing housing in the future .
In stead, the Ag~ncy relies on other entities to develop housing with the assistance of the Agency where
feasible and appropriate.
The lnclusionary Housing requirements app ly to the aggregate of a ll housing in the project areas. It is
therefore not necessary that each residential development include the required percentage of affordable
housing. With multiple project areas, the Agency may satisfy its inclusionary housing requirements in the
aggregate among the various project areas, so long as the aggregat ion does not cause racial, ethnic, or
economic segregation, and outside of the Project Areas. When the Agency seeks to meet its affordable
housing requirement outside of the Project Areas, two affordable housing units must be provided for every
one housing unit required and the Agency must make a determination of benefit to the Project Areas.
Anticipated Affordable Housing Production
To meet its housing production requirement for the 10-yea r period and the life of the Redevelopment Plans,
the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency partners with private housing developers to provide affordable
housing for low and moderate income households . The Agency assists in the creation of new housing
developments and the rehabilitation of existing housing both within and outside of the Project Areas.
The Agency has received credit for affordable hou sing bui It primarily outside of the Project Areas through the
continued implementation of the Balanced Communities Policy 5.1 of the City's Housing Element, which
requires all new housing developments of 50 units or more to provide 10 percent of the housing as
affordab le to low and moderate income households.
Over the past ten year period, there has been very little housing development within the Project Areas due to
the limited availability of residentially zoned land . However, the Agency was able to participate in
numerous affordable housing developments, mostly outside of the Project Areas. From Fiscal Years 1980
through 2003-04, a total of 373 new housing units were produced within the Project Areas, resulting in a
total affordable housing requirement of 58 units (see Table 1 ). Within this time period, the Agency exceeded
its housing production requirement with a surplus of 321 units inside and outside of the Project Areas . The
surp lu s units, of which 44 units are for very low income households, will be used to satisfy the Agency 's
future production requirements for the ten-year period of FY 2004-05 through 2013-14.
It was originally anticipated that new construction of housing would increase significantly during the ten-year
period from 2004-05 through 2013-14 due to the growth in the City's popu lation and its ongoing
redevelopment focus in the City's Urban Core. In 2006, the flourishing US housing market began to see a
slowdown with home prices and home equity slipping, and inventories of unsold homes piling up. The
housing market has been a big contributor to economic growth since 2001, accounting for three quarters of
the nation's job growth. Economic indicators show that the US entered a recession in late 2007. The burst in
the US housing bubble and sub prime mortgage crisis have contributed significantly to the current recession.

Five Year Impl ementation Plan
2010to2014
Faced with dropping housing values, retir ement and savings decimated by the stock market, and rising
unemployment, consumer confidence and consumption are at al l time lows. It is anticipated that economic
recovery wi ll take a lon g time.
Given the current recessionary ci rcumstances and the tightening of capital for construction and permanent
financing, the City anticipates littl e new construction of housing within the Redevelopment Project Areas
during the ten-year period from 2004-05 through 2013-14. The ten-year forecast includes actua l projects
approved, projects in the process of completion by the Agency, and potential housing units proposed in the
work program of this Impl ementation Plan, as detailed in Appendix B.
During the current 10-year period, it is estimated that approximate ly 338 total housing units will be built
within the Project Areas in accordance with the Redevelopment Work Program (Appendix B). Based upon
this estimate, the Agency is required to provide 52 low and moderate income housing units, of which, 21
very low income units are required. During this period, the Agency expects to assist in the production of a
total of 354 affordab le housing units, of which approximate ly 130 may be designated as very low income.
The Agency is able to participate in more units than wi ll be built within the project areas because of
assistance to affordable units outside of the project areas. The Agency expects to exceed its housing
production requirement for very low and low and moderate units during the ten -yea r period with a surplus of
302 affordable units . See Table 1 for a comprehensive summary of the Agency's affordab le housing
requirements during: (1) the initial period (1980 to 1993-1994), (2) the previous 10-year period (1994-95 to
2003-04), (3) the current 10-year period (2004-05 to 2013-14), (4) the following 20-year period (2014-15 to
2033-34), and (5) the cumulative duration of a ll redevelopment plans (1994-95 to 2033-34).
Based upon these projections, it is estimated that the Agency will exceed the requirements for very low
income and low and moderate-income households through the duration of the Redevelopment Plans .
Should actual housing production exceed the estimated projections of this Plan, the Agency intends to
leverage its available financial resources to assist private entities to provide affordab le housing.

2 This data has been revised from the 2005 to 2009 Redevelopment Implementation Plan to better reflect the time period in which affordable housing units were produced and to reduce the number of affordabl~ ~
units produced from 389 units to 373 affordable units from 1980 to 2003-04. The number of affordable units produced was reduced as a result of the lack of the appropriate restrictions needed under State law~ N

REPLACEMENT HOUSING
In accordance with Section 33413(a) of the Health and Safety Code,
whenever a dwelling unit housing persons or families of low or
moderate income are destroyed or removed from the housing market as
part of a redevelopment project that is subject to a written agreement
with the Agency or where financial assistance has been provided by the
Agency, the Agency is responsible for replacing that unit within four
years . Replacement housing must have an equal or greater number of
bedrooms as those units removed and must be affordable to equal or
lower income levels as those displaced. As of 2002, the Agency had
replaced all 50 units removed from the redevelopment project areas. The Agency does not have any
outstanding replacement housing obligations and is in full compliance with the statutory requirements.
During the Implementation Plan period, the Agency anticipates very little commercial and residential
development given the current economic recession. Since most existing land uses in the Project Areas are
commercial, any new deve lopment opportunities, that may arise, will likely take place on underutilized
commercial properties or properties that are currently vacant. The Agency anticipates that Agency-assisted
projects will not result in the displacement or removal of housing units and no replacement housing
obligations will be incurred .
HOUSING FUND REVENUES & EXPENDITURES
California Redevelopment Law requires a Redevelopment Agency to direct a minimum of 20 percent of all
gross tax increment revenues generated within its Project Areas to a separate fund to be u sed exclu sively for
the preservation, improvement, and expansion of the low and moderate income housing supply within the
community. Thi s section summari z es the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund resources and
units assisted from FY 2004-05 through 2008-09, as well as resources and activities anticipated for this
current period from FY 2009-10 through 2013-14. Additionally, this section analyzes the Agency's
expenditure of these funds in relation to the community's need for very low and low income hou sing, as well
as the proportion of the population under the age of 65, as required by Section 33334.4 of the Health and
Safety Code.
Housing Fund Expenditures: FY 2004-05 through 2 013 -14
The Agency expended approximately $7,818,100 over the last five years from FY 2004-05 through 2008-09
to as sist low and moderate income households . These fund s were expended for the production of 146
affordable housing units, the rehabilitation of 84 single family homes and mobile homes, and the
maintenance and operation of mobile home spaces.

RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 38
Effective Januar y 1, 2002, the Agency's expenditure of Low-Mod Funds must be in proportion to the
comm unity 's need for very low and low income housing and housing for its population under the age of 65.
The C ity bases its hou sing needs for each income category from the Regional Housing Needs Assessment
and is specified within the City of Chula Vista's Housing Element. New lega l requirements took effect in
2006 that modified the previous limitation on spending Low-Mod Fund monies on households under the age
of 65 3 •
Prior to 2006, Section 33334.4(b) of CRL required that an agency spend its Low-Mod Fund monies "in at
least the same proportion as the population under age 65 bears to the total population based on the most
recent census." The 2006 changes provide a higher leve l of specificity to spend "in at least the same
proportion as the number of low-income households with a member under age 65 bears to the total number
of low-income households of the community as reported in the most recent census."
Table 3 below specifies the legal limitations governing the expenditure of the Low-Mod Funds. The
moderate income category represents a maximum figure for expend itur es for moderate income households,
althoug h suc h funds (within this category) can be spent on very low or low income households. The chart
specifica lly details the Agency's Low-Mod Fund expenditure during the first five years of the Compliance
Period and the projected expenditu re s during the remainder of the Compliance Period . The Agency
anticipates meeting their Low-Mod Fund targeting requirements by the end of the Compliance Period.

target for its expend iture of Low-Mod Funds by income categories and household type to meet the lega l
requirements for expenditures in proportion to the community's housing needs by income category for the
10-year period. The Agency will need to continue to monitor and target it's funding to ensure continuing
compl ian ce with the expenditure requirements for the duration of the Redevelopment Plan.

Future Housing Activities: FY 2009-10 through 2013-14
During the Implementation Plan period, the Agency will concentrate on housing activities that are most
applicable to the Agency's goals and objectives. In developing its affordable housing program, the Agency
has been guided by the goals and objectives of the City's Housing Element and General Plan, incorporated
into this Plan by reference. Through its activities, the Agency will support and advance the overall Housing
Element program.
Housing Program
While the Agency's Strategic Objective is to focus and prioritize its resources within redevelopment project
areas, with few properties within these areas zoned for residential use or occupied by residential uses,
limited opportunities exist to produce or rehabilitate housing for low and moderate-income households
within the Project Areas. The implementation of the City's Balanced Communities Policy has continued to
provide an opportunity for the Agency to leverage its resources to provide affordable housing. Should the
Agency make progress towards its Strategic Objective to expand the Project Areas, the Agency will be in a
better position to focus its resources within these Areas.
Given the current recessionary circumstances and few properties within the Redevelopment Project Areas
zoned for residential use, the Agency anticipates limited residential activity for FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-
14 within the Project Areas. The Agency does not anticipate assisting in the new construction of affordable
housing units or the rehabilitation of housing units within the Project Areas.
The Agency will partner with private entities to provide both new rental housing and rehabilitate existing
rental units outside of the Project Areas, for a total of 272 housing units or 136 credits. To accomplish these
activities, the Agency will expend approximately $9.9 million.

The Agency intends to expend a proportionate amount of these funds for the various income categories and
senior households . Funds will be allocated from FY 2009-10 through 2013-14 in accordance with the
targeted need as fol lows. The targeted percentage is slightly higher than the proportionate share of need
outlined within the Housing Element to balance the proportionate share of prior years' expenditures.

State Budget Legislation
Due to the magnitude of the State's ongoing structural budget deficit, the State has taken legislative actions in
the past four fiscal years that has impacted avai lab le property tax revenues for California redevelopment
agencies. The State adopted Assembly Bill 26 4x (AB 26 4x) to shift approximate ly $2.05 billion, $1.7
billion in FY 2009-10 and $350 million in FY 2010-11 in property tax revenues from California
redevelopment agencies , which will be deposited in county "Supplemental" Educational Revenue
Augmentation Funds (SERAF) to be distributed to meet the State's Proposition 98 obligations to schools. For
FY 2009-10, agencies may "suspend" all or part of the required 20% allocation to its Low-and Moderate-
In come Housing Fund (Low-Mod Fund) or borrow from the Low-Mod Fund in order to make the payment.
The Low-Mod Fund must be repaid by June 30, 2015.
Page 35
)
RDA Resolution No. 2009-2014
Page 42
For FY 2009-10, the Agency's SE RAF payment is approximate ly $4.1 million . To make the Agency's
payment on the Supp lemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (SERAF), a $2.9 million loan from
the Agency's Low-and Moderate-Income Housing Fund wi ll be necessary . Proposed legislation would give
the Agency authority to borrow an additiona l $1 .2 million from the Low-Mod Fund to make the full $4.1
million SERAF payment. Any loan from the Low-Mod Fund wou ld require approval by the Agency Board.
Continuing shifts of funds from the Redevelopment Agency and loans from its Low-Mod Funds wi ll
temporarily reduce the funds availab le to produce affordable housing opportunities for those low and
moderate-income households within the community. The funds borrowed from the Low-Mod Fund will be
repaid within five years .

The 2005-2009 Redevelopment Implementation Plan divided the redevelopment project areas into three
geographic focus areas. In the current 2010-2014 Redevelopment Implementation Plan, the report has been
reorganized to track plans, policies, programs and projects by the two merged Redevelopment Project Areas:
Bayfront/Town Centre I (comprised of the Bayfront Original, Bayfront Amended, Town Centre I Original and
Town Centre I Amended project areas) and Merged Chula Vista (comprised of the Town Centre II Original,
Town Centre II Amended, Otay Valley, Southwest Original, Southwest Amended and 2004 Added Area
project areas). To track the accomplishments from the previous five year cycle, the list has been organized
by the three geographic focus areas. However, to provide transition to the 2010-2014 Redevelopment
Implementation Plan, a column has been added to show the location and the current status of the work
program.
ALL GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS AREAS
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING DOCUMENTS & PROCESSES
Public Outreach and Education
Develop an outreach and education program to provide the community
with information regarding the purpose and benefits of redevelopment,
the Agency's role, tools used, and specific development proposals.
D Provide general and technical information to community
organizations other civic groups.
□ Implement an ongoing process of educating and encouraging input
from the community regarding specific development proposals.
Expansion of the Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Areas
Adding territory to the existing Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment
Project Area would strengthen the Agency's ability to leverage Low-
Mod Funds for affordable housing, including new construction and land
purchases, and further the Agency's legislative charge to remove blight.
□ Adoption of a Survey Area
Proportionate Increase of 20% Housing Set-Aside
Conduct a policy study for developing an accounting system that
proportionately increases the annual amount of tax increment that is
deposited into the Low-Mod Fund as tax increment revenues reach
specified goal levels. This project would further the Agency's ability to
facilitate the creation of affordable housing and meet its state-mandated
housing obligations.
D Policy study to analyze the accounting structure and identify
appropriate tax increment thresholds for set-aside increases.
