Ann Hix, Acting Director of Community Development ~ Mandy Mills, Housing Manager, Community Development ~~ / Mary ladiana, Planning Manager, Community Development ~ Land Use Considerations and Financial Assistance for a 42-Unit Affordable Housing Development Located at 1501 Broadway, Known as "Los Vecinos" TO: VIA: SUBJECT: Project Area: Merged Chula Vista Project Area (Added Area) Developer: Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation Project Site: 1501 Broadway Project Type: Residential Project Description: 42-unit multi-family affordable housing development INTRODUCTION On December 18, 2006, Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation (Applicant) submitted applications requesting a zone change and design review for development of an affordable for-rent project on a 1.46-acre site located at 1501 Broadway, within the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area (see Attachments 1, 2 and 3). The site is currently developed with the vacant Tower Lodge motel, which had been the subject of significant code enforcement issues for a variety of violations and was subsequently closed and boarded up. The project proposes 42 multi- family affordable rental units. State law (Government Codes 65854-65861) and Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.12.030 establish the process for adopting zone changes of property. The Planning Commission and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation must hold public hearings on proposed actions and provide a written recommendation to the City Counci I. In addition to the Rezone and Design Review, the project involves a request for three density bonus incentives or concessions of certain development standards pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915-65918. Specifically, the applicant is requesting (1) a reduction )-\ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 2 in the parking space requirements including an increased percentage of compact parking spaces, (2) a reduction in the open space requirements, and (3) a reduction in the required front setback to facilitate the development of this project. The requests, if approved, would permit the construction of 42 affordable residential units for extremely low, very low, and low income households. Additionally, the applicant submitted a request to the Redevelopment Agency for financial assistance to the project in a loan amount not to exceed $5,480,000. In August 2006, the Redevelopment Agency authorized an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) and Predevelopment Loan in the amount of $200,000 for the cooperative development of an affordable housing project on the Tower Lodge Motel site. Financing and development of Los Vecinos will utilize Low Income Housing Tax Credit financing to support the majority of the estimated $16.9 million cost of constructing the project. With rents restricted at the proposed levels, the net operating income is insufficient to support a loan large enough to cover the project costs. Therefore, there remains a financing gap of approximately $6 million. To close the financing gap, Wakeland has requested direct financial assistance of $5,480,000. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and prepared an Initial Study, 15-07-017, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based upon results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator determined that the project could result in effects on the environment. However, revisions to the project made by, or agreed to, by the applicant would avoid the effects, or mitigate the effects, to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur. Therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, 15-07-017 (see Attachment 4). BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS On May 23, 2007 the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista voted 7-0 to recommend that the City Council adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration 15-07-017, rezone the parcel, and approve incentives and concessions pursuant to the Density Bonus Law for the development of an affordable for-rent project by Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation. On March 28, 2007, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend approval to the City Council to provide up to a maximum of $5,480,000 in financial assistance from the City's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds to Wakeland Housing for the financing of a proposed 42 unit affordable housing project located at 1501 Broadway in Southwest Chula Vista. On February 1, 2007, the Redevelopment Advisory Committee recommended that the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation approve the project proposal for Los Vecinos affordable housing development, located at 1501 Broadway in the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area. The Committee members' support for the proposed project was based on the project's contribution to the provision of needed affordable housing in this area of the City and on the project's good planning and architecture. ~-~ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council introduce an Ordinance: a. Adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration (15-07-017); b.

Recommending that the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista conditionally approve up to a maximum of $5,480,000 in financial assistance from the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds 4. That the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista adopt a resolution conditionally approving financial assistance from the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds up to a maximum of $5,480,000 DISCUSSION 1. Project Description The project proposed by Wakeland Housing consists of the construction of 42 affordable rental housing units on a 1.46-acre lot. The property is located at 1501 Broadway, the former Tower Lodge Motel site, and is in the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area. The property, just north of Anita Street, currently has a closed and blighted motel on the site. The motel has a long history of community complaints, code violations and police calls for service. There will be 12 one-bedroom, 16 two-bedroom, and 14 three-bedroom units, a community room, and a laundry room. Additionally, the project includes the construction of parking, landscaping, open space, and access and circulation elements associated with the development (see Attachment 5). The project includes a community room, computer room, laundry room, and tot lot. Wakeland Housing's Resident Services Program has won awards for exemplary services. Project Site: The project site is relatively flat and minimum grading will be required. The proposed 42 attached rental apartments will be located in a three-story building structure that will form a U- shape around an inner courtyard, which will provide common open space and recreation areas. .?--- ") Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 4 The community, computer, and laundry rooms will be on the first floor facing the courtyard. The courtyard will contain a tot lot, seating areas with tables and benches and a barbeque grills. A U- shaped driveway will provide vehicular access from Broadway to the north and south sides, as well as the rear, of the building structure. Pedestrian and vehicular access to the units is located on the street level. Approximately 21 % of the site will be landscaped around the perimeter of the lot, as well as in the interior of the site. Sixty-eight parking spaces will also be located along the perimeter of the lot. Of the total parking spaces, 55 spaces will be provided in the surface parking lots (36 standard; 19 compact) and 13 standard spaces wi II be located under the south wing of the building structure. Applicant: With over 5,000 units in its portfolio, Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation has significant experience in developing affordable housing. Most of Wakeland's developments are located in San Diego County, with some in other parts of Southern California, Northern California and Seattle. Wakeland's developments are diverse in housing type, unit type and financing structure, and they vary in size from 6 units to 504 units. Recent projects in the San Diego County, including some in redevelopment areas, include: "Lillian Place," a 74-unit rental project in the East Village in San Diego, "Town Square Row Homes," a 6-unit for sale project in downtown National City, and "Beyer Courts," in San Ysidro. Wakeland is well-qualified and has demonstrated their desire and commitment to partner with the City and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation, to develop a project that meets the City's affordable housing objectives and to work cooperatively with the public on the design of the project. Affordability: The project will primarily serve extremely low and very low-income households (30 to 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), helping meet the City's critical affordable housing needs and the expenditure and production requirements of the Redevelopment Agency for very low income housing. Based upon current HUD Income limits, monthly rents would range from approximately $380 to $1,000. Sustainability Elements: The Los Vecinos project has been part of a modeling program offered through the National Energy Center for Sustainable Communities (NECSC) and the Gas Technology Institute (GTI). The City contracted with NECSC and GTI utilizing funds from the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Partnership Grant Program. Through this program, NECSC and GTI are analyzing the energy, economic and environmental impacts of both planned and alternative building design options for the Los Vecinos project. Energy efficiency features already being designed into the project include the use of energy star appliances, instantaneous (tankless) water heaters, an energy efficient hydronic heating systems, radiant barrier roof sheathing, and Low-E windows. The project will have several energy efficient, "green design" features. The first is the use of rooftop solar panels to generate electric power for the project. Through these panels, at least 90 percent of the building's electricity will be solar-generated, including the residential units, the community center, the laundry facilities, and all indoor and outdoor lighting. This project will be only one of two multifamily affordable projects in the region to have solar powered residential units. ;z-~ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 5 2. Site Location and Surrounding Uses The 1.46-acre subject property is located mid-block on the east side of Broadway, between Palomar and Anita Streets (see Attachment 1). The site is irregular in shape and has approximately 281 feet of frontage along Broadway and approximately 220 feet in depth. The project site is located in an urbanized area of the city and is within the "Added Area" of the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan (2004) for the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area. The project is also within the South Broadway District of the Southwest Area Plan of the City's 2005 General Plan (see Attachment 6). which has a land use designation of Mixed Use Residential (MUR). The site is currently zoned Commercial Thoroughfare with a Precise Plan modifying district (CTP). The site for the proposed project was previously used as the Tower Lodge motel, which is currently vacant and boarded up. Existing uses and land use designations adjacent to the site are as follows: Existing Uses General Plan Deshmation Zoninll Designation Subject Site Closed Motel Mixed Use Residential Commercial Thoroughfare North Auto Repair Facility Mixed Use Residential Com mercial Thoroughfare South Condominiums Mixed Use Residential OnefTwo-Family Residential East Storage Facility Mixed Use Residential Commercial Thoroughfare West Apartments across Commercial Retail/High Commercial Thoroughfare Broadway Densitv Residential /Aoartment Residential 3. Land Use and Zoning One item being presented for the City Council's consideration is the rezone of the 1A6-acre site from the current CTP zone to the Apartment Residential (R-3) zone (see Attachment 2). As indicated in the previous table, the General Plan land use is Mixed Use Residential. The General Plan contains a vision and a set of policies for the area, which envision the South Broadway District as containing additional residential uses along South Broadway. The District focuses on increasing the viability of retail shops, providing for needed housing opportunities, and improving the appearance of this major corridor. The current Zoning designation for the subject site is Commercial Thoroughfare with Precise Plan Modifying District (CTP). Since this designation does not implement the vision and policies of the 2005 General Plan for Mixed Use with Residential, the Applicant has requested a zone change to R-3 that would implement the General Plan policies and would allow the construction of the proposed project at the subject site. d..--S Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 6 4.

(11,200 sq. ft.) 3 bds units: 480 sq. ft. (6,720 sq. ft.) Total: 17,920 sq. ft. of usable open space 14,189 square feet Residential Density: Pursuant to CVMC 19.28.070, the allowable residential density of an apartment residential project is limited to the maximum residential density permitted in the R-3. The R-3 requires a minimum lot area of 1,350 square feet per dwelling unit on lots greater than 7,000 square feet (32 dwelling units/acre). Therefore, based on the area (1.46 acres) of the site, the maximum number of dwelling units that could be developed on the project site is 47 units. The project proposes 42 units, which would be below the maximum number of units permitted by the R-3 zone. 5. Density Bonus Considerations California Government Code Section 65915 requires jurisdictions to provide density bonus and/or regulatory incentives to enable the production of affordable housing. The objective of the State density bonus law is to enable significant contribution to the economic feasibility of lower-income housing in proposed projects. Pursuant to Government Code section 65915(d)(2)(C), an applicant shall receive three incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 30 percent of the total units for lower income households, or at least 15 percent for very low income households. Since all of the units in the proposed project will be affordable to extremely low, very low, and low income households, the applicant is eligible for three incentives or concessions. The proposed 1-lt Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14,2007 Page 7 project does not require an increase in density in order to build 42 units. The applicant, however, has applied for a density bonus of "0%" in order to be eligible for the development standard concessions that will enable the proposed project to be built. Cost Analysis: Staff has reviewed the requested concessions from the City's development standards. Based on project financing gaps, the concessions are necessary to provide the maximum number of units at affordable levels. Financing and development of Los Vecinos is proposed as a joint private- public partnership. Wakeland will be preparing an application to the State Tax Credit Allocation Committee for funding to support the majority of the estimated $16,941,379 ($403,366 per unit). Due to the financing programs Wakeland will be pursuing, the project will provide rents affordable to families at 30% to 60% of the AMI, and income and rent restrictions will be maintained for a period of 55 years. With rents restricted at these levels, the net operating income is insufficient to support a loan large enough to cover the project costs. Therefore, there remains a financing gap of $5,480,000. It is proposed that the remaining financing gap be met by a loan from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds. If Wakeland were required to meet City development standards for parking, open space, and building setback, it would result in a loss of units that could be built on the site. A loss of units would result in decreased net operating income for the project, which would generate an even greater financing gap, and a larger loan amount from the Redevelopment Agency. The density bonus incentives of parking, open space and building setback reductions help to offset an otherwise greater financing gap, which could result in the infeasibility of the project. Additionally, the concessions do not have any specific adverse impacts as noted in California Government Code. The following three development standards qualify as density bonus incentives or concessions: parking, building setback, and open space, as described below. Parking: The Applicant has requested that parking be one of the development standards concessions to be approved through the density bonus under California State Law. The proposed project plans show 68 parking spaces will be provided on site. These spaces will be located along the outer perimeter of the site. In accordance with the standards set forth by Section 19.62.050 of the Municipal Code, the proposed project would require 78 on-site parking spaces. In addition, the zoning ordinance only allows a maximum of 10% of the total number of parking spaces (8 spaces) to be compact. Standard parking spaces measure 9 feet x 19 feet and compact spaces measure 7.5 feet x 15 feet. The applicant is requesting a concession, as allowed under State Law, and is proposing to provide 68 spaces versus 78 spaces and 28% compact spaces versus 10% compact spaces. Building Setback: The Applicant is also requesting a front building setback deviation from the Zoning Ordinance. The building setback requirement, as called for in the zoning ordinance, is 15 feet from the property line. The building structure shown on the plans is located approximately between 9 feet and 13 feet from the property line, representing a front setback reduction varying between 2 to 6 feet. However, the Applicant is also proposing to far exceed the side and rear yard setback requirements. .:z-\ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 8 Open Space: Residential projects are required to provide on-site open space for residents to enjoy. The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.28.090 requires the provision of 400 square feet of usable open space for 1 and 2-bedroom units, and 480 square feet for units with 3 or more bedrooms. The open space may be provided in common usable open space areas, private patios, balconies, or common recreational facilities. In accordance with the standards set forth by Section 19.28.090 and the proposed unit mix (28 one and two-bedroom and 14 three-bedroom), the total usable open space requirement for the project would be 17,920 square feet. The project's proposed open space is 14,189 square feet, which represents a difference of 3,731 square feet of useable open space. The proposed open space includes common exterior open space, a community room, and private patios and balconies. 6. Analysis The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of the 2005 Chula Vista General Plan, the Housing Element, the 2004 Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan's goals and objectives, and the Zoning Ordinance. Rezone: The project site is currently designated by the 2005 General Plan as Mixed Use Residential (MUR) and it is zoned CTP. The General Plan land Use and Transportation (lUT) Policies 42.3 and 42.9 for this area state: "Encourage the development of residential units, mixed with the appropriate retail and professional office, in the area designated as Mixed Use Residential between Palomar Street and Anita Street"; and "In the South Broadway District, residential densities within the Mixed Use Residential designation between L Street and Naples Street and between Palomar Street and Anita Street are intended to have a District-wide gross density of 30 dwelling units per acre". The 2004 Redevelopment Plan's goals are to: "Provide low and moderate income housing as is required to satisfy the needs and desires of the various age and income groups of the community, maximizing the opportunity for individual choice, and meeting the requirements of State Law." "Achieve an environment reflecting a high level of concern for architectural, landscape, and urban design principles appropriate to the objectives of this Plan." The current CT-P zone does not allow the development of residential projects. The requested rezone to R-3 would allow the construction of the proposed residential project at the requested density. This would implement General Plan lUT 42.3 and the 2004 Redevelopment Plan by providing additional affordable residential units in the area between Palomar and Anita Streets, which would achieve a better balance with the existing commercial and industrial developments. In addition, lUT 42.9 states that the subject area is intended to have district-wide densities of 30 :A-r;- Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 9 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes 42 units on the 1.46-acre site, which results in a net density of 29 dwelling units per acre. The residential density would provide a more urban, pedestrian-oriented project design that would be compatible with the surrounding land uses. CVMC 19.80 controlled residential development ordinance: In the late 1980'5, a citizen initiative referred to as the "Cumming's Initiative" was passed by a majority vote of the electorate and was incorporated as Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Section 19.80 (Ord.2309 Initiative 1988). The purpose and intent of the initiative was generally to ensure the quality of life for the residents of Chula Vista through a variety of measures, including the provision of adequate public services and facilities commensurate with new development. In order to accomplish this, the Ordinance contains provisions that limit the rezoning of a property. Section 19.80.070 (D) states that: "Rezoning commercial or industrial property to a residential zone shall be permitted only to the maximum residential density corresponding to the potential traffic generation that was applicable prior to the rezoning to residential." For the proposed rezone, the comparison would be between the existing potential traffic generation associated with the development under the existing CT-P zone and the corresponding maximum residential density. Based on standard traffic generation rates (SANDAG 2002 Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for The San Diego Region), commercial and office uses generate significantly greater traffic than residential uses. For example, the existing 1.46 acre site (63,500 square feet) zoned CT-P would have the potential to develop up to a 95,396 square foot building. This is based on the CT-P zone's existing development standards which allow 50% lot coverage (50% x 63,500 sq. ft. site - 31,799 sq. ft.) and up to a three story height limit (3 stories x 31,799 sq. ft. per floor). Using SANDAG's standard traffic generation rates for commercial uses (40 trips 11,000 square feet). a total of 3,816 trips would be generated from a potential commercial building of that size. Based on the criteria in section (D) above, the maximum residential density could not be more than the potential traffic generated by the commercial use (i.e. 3,816 trips). This equates to up to 636 multi-family units (3,816 trips/6 trips per multifamily dwelling unit) on the 1.46 acre site, or 435 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes a density of 29 du/ac. Because commercial and office uses generate significantly greater traffic than residential uses, a zone change from commercial to a multi-family residential category could never result in residential traffic generation greater than the corresponding potential traffic generation from a commercial development. Therefore, the zone change from commercial to residential would not conflict with Section 19.80.070 (D) of the ordinance. Project Design Evaluation: The project's design was reviewed and evaluated based on the guidelines of the Design Manual and the development standards of the City's Zoning Ordinance. In general, the Design Manual's guidelines are intended to promote development which respects the physical and environmental character of the community and the site, and reflects functional and attractive site planning, and high quality design. The Design Manual provides guidelines on site planning, building architecture and landscaping. J...-~ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 10 Site Planning: The proposed site plan provides a clustering of the apartment units in one continuous U-shaped building structure, with the recreation area in the center and access/circulation and parking in the outer perimeter. The western fac;:ade of the building structure fronts on Broadway and is located close (9 -13 feet) to the property line, which creates an urban, pedestrian-oriented character. Clustering the units in one U-shaped structure provides adequate access from the street and from the parking lot to the residential units, and concentrates and shelters the courtyard elements in one area close to and visible from almost all the units. From a pedestrian perspective, the building entrance on Broadway provides easy access into the building and all of the units on the three building floors via an internal hallway that follows the building shape. Three staircases, located on the west, north and south wings connect the three floors of the building. Parking and vehicular circulation are well integrated into the project and do not dominate the site and building. Parking is well distributed around the site and allows for smooth circulation and appropriate access throughout the site and residential units. The location of parking in relation to the building promotes safety and convenience. Building Architecture: In terms of building architecture, the City's Design Manual provides guidelines related to building compatibility, scale, articulation, fenestration, and materials and colors. The proposed project's design is characterized by a contemporary, cubist style, with a variety of architectural features. Every side of the building structure is designed as a principal facade. The building facades feature private balconies, patios, windows and canopies. Each of the residential units is defined by design features, such as roof parapets, balconies, patio walls, canopies and balconies, as well as color scheme. In terms of the buildings compatibility with the surrounding building and design styles, it is important to note that the surrounding area is characterized by having a variety of architectural styles and forms, which include the mission style, pitched-roof style and minimalist industrial style. The most important characteristic of the proposed building is that it is a development of high quality with an architecture that is compatible with the eclectic nature of the surrounding properties in terms of form, shape, colors and materials. The building design employs variations in form, building details and siting in order to create visual interest. The project has a common architectural theme and design characteristics, which provide architectural unity for the entire project. The chosen architectural style is carried throughout all of the elevations. The fac;:ade design provides sufficient relief and offsets which define each of the units and presents them as part of an integrated whole. The placement, arrangement and relationship of windows and fac;:ade structures are well coordinated and achieve a unified building composition. These characteristics of the building architecture are consistent with the guidelines of the Chula Vista Design Manual. ~- \'0 Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 11 Density Bonus: Staff has reviewed the requested concessions from the City's development standards. Below is an analysis of the development standard concessions applied for under SDBL. Parking: The zoning ordinance requires the provision of 78 on-site parking spaces (representing an average of 1.86 spaces per unit). The proposed project plans show 68 parking spaces (which represents an average of 1.62 spaces per unit) will be provided on site, 19 of which will be compact spaces. In addition, the zoning ordinance only allows a maximum of 10% of the total number of parking spaces (7 spaces) to be compact. The concessions, as allowed under State Law, would allow 68 spaces versus 78 spaces and 28% compact spaces versus 10% compact spaces. The proposed parking ratio is supported by data from other affordable housing developments in San Diego County and California, as reported by the City of San Diego and the Non-Profit Housing Association. Both parking studies show that parking needs at affordable projects average 1 space per unit. The applicant has demonstrated that their affordable housing projects (located throughout San Diego County) with similar parking reductions have not experienced parking shortages. In those projects, as will be done in the proposed Los Vecinos project, property management assigns residents one or two parking spaces according to the size of their unit and the number of vehicles they have. In Wakeland's Beyer Courtyards project in San Ysidro and Vista Las Flores project in Carlsbad, parking supply exceeds demand. Many families that qualify for affordable housing, have one family car, or may not have a car. The table below indicates that half to three-fourths of two-bedroom units and about half of three-bedroom units use zero or one parking spaces. In other words, only one-fourth to half of all two and three-bedroom units request two parking spaces. Total Utilized Total Parki ng Parking % 2BR with % 3BR with Units 50aces 50aces Used Ratio o or 1 soace o or 1 space Beyer Courtyards, San Ysidro 28 49 42 1.5 76% 53% Vista Las Flores, Carlsbad 60 115 74 1.23 53% 45% Using these examples for the Los Vecinos project, and operating from the most conservative assumptions, the number of parking spaces (68) provided would exceed demand. Assuming that all 12 of the one-bedroom units would require one parking space, and that half of the 30 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units would require two spaces, the parking demand would be for 57 spaces. That would still leave a surplus of 11 spaces. Building Setback: Section 19.28.070 requires a front building setback of 15 feet from the property line. The proposed building setback ranges between 9 feet to 13 feet due to the buildings fa~ade articulation, which includes recessed surfaces and projections such as balconies. While the proposed setback would deviate from the Zoning Ordinance, the reduction in the setback would afford the project a more urban and pedestrian-oriented J.-- \ ~ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 12 character by being closer to the sidewalk, as compared with a suburban type of development with larger front setbacks. An urban project is more compatible with the urban character of the western part of the City. Thus, the reduced setback provides the benefit of bringing the building closer to the street giving the project a more urban character. Open Space: Section 19.28.090 of the Municipal Code requires a minimum of 400 sq. feet of open space per 1 to 2-bedroom dwelling unit and 480 square feet for the 3-bedroom unit. The open space may be provided in the form of common usable open space areas, private patios, balconies, or common recreational facilities. Based on the proposed project's number and type of dwelling units, the open space requirement is 17,920 square feet of usable open space or an average of 426 square feet per unit. As planned, the project would provide a total of 14,189 square feet of usable open space in the form of common exterior open space, a community room, and private patios and balconies. This represents an average of approximately 360 square feet per dwelling unit. It should be noted that, while all the dwelling units have balconies, the open space calculation only includes balconies that meet the minimum space requirement (60 square feet). Balconies that have less than 60 square feet in area and those balconies that front Broadway are not counted toward the open space requirement. Based on these calculations, the project's open space deficit is approximately 3,731 square feet or an average reduction of 89 square feet per unit. The reduction in required usable open space at Los Vecinos will not affect the residents' quality of life, as the proposed open space is well designed, and will be serviced by a variety of programs to keep the residents active and involved. Each apartment will have either a private balcony or patio, providing residents with their own usable outdoor space while also bringing them out of their units. The common outdoor space will include a tot lot for the children, open play space, and a barbecue area with seating and tables for the residents' use. An 807 square foot community center will provide resident services programs including computer classes, tutoring, arts and crafts, and outdoor recreation activities. 7. Affordable Housing Funding In August 2006, the Redevelopment Agency authorized an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement and Predevelopment Loan in the amount of $200,000 for the cooperative development of an affordable housing project on the Tower Lodge Motel site. The predevelopment period was successful, bringing forward the proposed project Los Vecinos. Financing and development of the Los Vecinos is proposed as a joint private-public partnership. Wakeland will be using Low Income Housing Tax Credit financing, and California Community Reinvestment Corporation Loan to support the majority of the estimated $16.9 million cost of constructing the project. The leveraging of local dollars is necessary to obtain the tax credit financing for the project. .1.. - /1. Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 13 Due to the financing programs Wakeland will be pursuing, the project will provide rents affordable to families at 30% to 60% of the AMI and income and rent restrictions will be maintained for a period of 55 years. With rents restricted at these levels and for this time period, the net operating income is insufficient to support a loan large enough to cover the project costs. Therefore, there remains a financing gap of approximately $5.48 million. Wakeland has requested financial assistance from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds (Low/Mod Funds) to cover this gap. This subsidy, in addition to the $200,000 Predevelopment Loan, equates to a per unit subsidy of $135,238. The Agency's funds would be used to restrict 42 of the units for extremely low, very low, and low-income households for a period of 55 years. As specified in the City's Housing Element, the Regional Housing Needs Assessment estimates a total need of 3,875 new housing units for extremely low and very low-income households. By using City funds to assist this income category, the City is able to make progress towards its own Housing Element goals and Redevelopment Inclusionary/Funding obligations. Income and Rent Restrictions: The income and rent restrictions will be incorporated into the various deed restrictions for Los Vecinos. Compliance with these restrictions will be subject annually to regulatory audit and annual tax credit certification. Compliance with strict property management policies and procedures will ensure that income and rent restrictions will be maintained for the full 55-year compliance period, and will bind all subsequent owners of Los Vecinos, so that the commitment remains in force regardless of ownership.

Including the $200,000 already distributed in the form of a Predevelopment Loan, the City's assistance would equate to approximately $135,238 per unit. The Agency is required to use Low/Mod Funds solely for the purpose of providing affordable housing for low and moderate-income persons. While the subsidy appears high, affordable housing developments are not able to adapt to rising land and construction costs. In recent years, land and construction costs have risen dramatically. Affordable developments are limited in their ability to generate income based upon the restricted rents. With the proposed development targeting deeper affordability levels of extremely low and very low income households, the project will not be able to generate sufficient revenues to support the development costs. Agency financial support is essential to the successful completion of an affordable project on this site. There is currently an available fund balance of $5.2M in Low/Mod Funds. The Agency receives approximately $2M annually in Low/Mod Funds. This development provides the Agency with an opportunity to expend redevelopment funds on an affordable housing development that is located in a redevelopment project area and which assists extremely low and very low income households. Both of these factors are noteworthy given the Agency's requirement to provide 6 percent of the housing within Redevelopment Project Areas as affordable to very low income households (California Health & Safety Code 9 33413) and to expend its Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing funds in proportion to the needs of very low, low and moderate income households (California Health & Safety Code 9 33334.4). The Council's/Agency's leadership to proactively plan for affordable housing opportunities in the redevelopment project areas is critical to meeting the Redevelopment Agency's legal obligations. The timely production of affordable units is a priority because of the nearing expiration dates of the various project areas. Assistance will be in the form of a loan secured by a note and deed of trust recorded against the property. The principal and interest on the loan will be amortized over fifty-five years and repaid from cash surplus in annual installments. Terms of the loan will be further negotiated and all related loan documents will be presented to the Agency for approval at a later date. It is "---\~ Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14, 2007 Page 15 recommended that funding approved for Los Vecinos be conditioned on approval of all other funding necessary to fund the project. Article XXXIV: This project is not exempt under Article XXXIV of the State Constitution. Article XXXIV of the California Constitution (Article 34) requires that voter approval be obtained before any "state public body" develops, constructs or acquires a "low rent housing project". The restriction of the 42 units will be allocated through the 66 remaining units per Proposition C, which authorized the development, construction and acquisition of 400 units of housing for persons of low-income passed April 11, 1978. This leaves 24 units under the original 400 units approved by voters in 1978. Voters approved an additional 1,600 units in November 6, 2006. 8. Community Input Several community meetings regarding the proposed project were held at various locations from October 2006 though March 2007. The applicant conducted an initial community meeting near the project site on October 9, 2006, and noticed the meeting to residents and property owners within 500 feet of the project site. The applicant also met with community groups; with Northwest Civic Association on January 1, 2007 and with Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association on January 18, 2007. The applicant received positive comments at all of the meetings, and the Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association submitted a letter of support for the project. The Redevelopment Advisory Committee (RAC) reviewed the project at a public meeting on February 1, 2007. Both the Southwest and Northwest Civic Associations, and the public at large expressed overwhelming support for the project at the meeting. The RAC voted to move the project forward with a single review. The RAC meeting was publicly noticed, including notices to residents and property owners within 500 feet of the project site. The project was reviewed at another public meeting by the Housing Advisory Commission (HAC) on March 28, 2007. The HAC also recommended approval of the project and financial assistance. Recently, staff received a petition regarding the proposed project from several residents of the Villa de Anita condominium complex (see Attachment 7). The residents who signed the petition were included in the soo-foot radius noticing, as described above. In a continued effort to ensure that all residents, particularly neighbors, have had an opportunity to learn about the project and provide input, staff invited those residents who expressed concern about the project to an additional meeting on Monday, May 21". The applicant's project team was present to provide information regarding the project and to answer any questions, however no residents attended. On May 23, 2007 the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project, including all regulatory actions necessary to facilitate development of the project. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the CVRC Board and City Council members and has found no property holdings within SOO-feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. :;... - \6 Staff Report - Item No.2 June 14,2007 Page 16 ATTACHMENTS 1 .

Wakeland has entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the City for the development of the site. Los Vecinos will be a family project, providing the following unit mix: 12 one- bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms, and 14 three-bedrooms. One hundred percent of the units will be affordable to extremely and very low income families, with rents ranging from 30 to 60 percent of Area Median Income. The project will be extremely well managed, and will provide high quality resident services. All of Wakeland Housing's board of directors and staff are committed to providing resident services program.s that strengthen families and help them reach greater levels of economic stability and personal growth. Wakeland goes way beyond bricks and mortar to provide residents with award-winning programs that nurture the potential of youth, adults and seniors living in our communities. We seek out residents' input and guidance in tailoring meaningful and comprehensive services to meet their needs and interests. And we do so with respect and compassion. All of Wakeland's programs are free to our residents. We do not duplicate services already offered in the greater community. Instead we design and implement a customized program plan, collaboratively bringing residents together with community groups. Wakeland's Youth Programs provide educational support, activities and structured sports with a goal of providing positive alternatives and strong role models for children of all ages. Our Adult Programs strive to provide people with practical skills in computers and literacy that will increase their financial potential. ;2-~4, 1 Community Outreach Wakeland has held one community meeting on the LosVecinos project. Residents, business owners, and community groups from the area were invited to learn about and comment on the project. Meeting attendees were highly supportive of the project, noting that it meets a strong demand for affordable family housing in the area. Zoning The property has a General Plan designation of Mixed Use Residential (MUR) and is within the South Broadway District. The zoning for the property is Thoroughfare Commercial with a Precise Plan modifier (CTP) and is currently inconsistent with the General Plan designation. To implement this designation a rezone of the property will be required to allow a residential land use, which is compatible with the MUR designation.- While a mix of land uses are envisioned for this district, development of anyone of these land uses separately will still be compatible with the General Plan vision and policies for the district. This approach would constitute "horizontal mixed use." . Financing Financing and development of this project is proposed as a joint private-public partnership. Wakeland is proposing to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credit financing to support the majority of the cost of constructing the project, with the gap being closed by Wakeland's deferral of a portion of their developer fee and funding of approximately $5,500,000 from the City's Redevelopment Agency. Agency financial support will be essential to the successful completion of an affordable project on this site. Developer Qualifications Wakeland was established in 1999 as a nonprofit corporation. Our mission is: "To develop q.uality affordable housing projects with resident-education programs for low-income families." With its for-profit and non-profit partners, Wakeland has developed, acquired and rehabilitated over 5,000 units of affordable housing, emerging as a leader in affordable housing communities in San Diego and throughout California. Wakeland works with a variety of municipalities, developers and redevelopment agencies throughout California. They utilize federal, state and local funding resources including tax exempt bonds and tax credits and leverage other funds from the private and public sectors. Wakeland's board of directors is comprised of affordable-housing, community and business leaders. Their team of highly qualified staff has expertise in both affordable housing and on-site resident service programs that offer unique opportunities for families and individuals to enhance their job marketability and enrich their lives. ~-~~ 2 Justification Benefits to Applicant Development of the Los Vecinos project allows Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation to meet its mission "To develop quality affordable housing projects with resident-education programs for low-income families." Wakeland is committed to providing safe, quality, fruly affordable housing that giv~s families the ability to gain stability and hope. The Los Vecinos project allows Wakeland to: Support Families - Stability breeds opportunity and prosperity. Residents of Los Vecinos will be able to take advantage of on-site vocational programs. Children wi1f be able to sharpen their computer and reading skills. And more. Support the community - Residents of Wakeland homes and apartments are part of the backbone of our workforce - teachers, nurse's aides, firefighters, security personnel, grocery clerks, to name a few. Affordable housing lends stability so they can put down roots and support local businesses and'the economy. Support businesses - Companies lose valuable employees because they can't find affordable housing within reasonable proximity to their workplace. Los Vecinos will allow let employees live close to where they work, reducing their commute time. Businesses retain reliable employees. Benefits to the Property The property currently houses an abandoned, blighted motel. When it was operating, the motel had a high crime rate, as discussed above. Now that it is abandoned, it is poorly lit, creating a dangerous area for residents. Additionally, the site contains a large amount of trash, much of it from the old motel (old mattresses, phones, etc.). And, the motel buildings are in extremely poor condition. The Los Vecinos project will dramatically revitalize the property, adding a well- designed building, attractive landscaping, and site lighting. The project is being designed by Carlos Rodriguez of Rodriguez Design Associates Architects and Planners, who has a strong reputation for building high quality, award-winning affordable housing, and extensive experience working in the City of Chula Vista. Benefits to the Neighborhood The Los Vecinos project will benefit the neighborhood in several ways: . Providing new customers for area businesses . Removing the blighted motel {)....,-~le 3 . Revitalizing the area with the addition of a new, high quality, well-designed project . Providing affordable housing opportunities for residents . Stimulating new development in a redevelopment area . Increasing community safety with an "eyes on the street" design, on-site management, and quality site lighting. Benefits to the City of Chula Vista This project meets the City's critical housing needs. and the production requirements of the Redevelopment Agency for very low income housing. Advances Redevelopment Agency goals Additionally, the development of the former Tower Lodge Motel site represents an opportunity to remove an existing blighted property. The motel has a long history of communitycomplaints, code violations, and police calls for service. In 2004, Tower Lodge had the highest calls for service per room ratio in the City according to the Chula Vista Police Department, six times the median. Dating back to 1987 the motel has been issued numerous Notices of Code Violations. In 2005 tns motel was posted as a substandard building, all tenants were ordered to vacate, and the owner secured the building, which has remained vacant since that time. And, the development of the Los Vecinus-project helps the City meet its goal of revitalizing and redeveloping Western Chula Vista, as described in its General Plan and its Housing Element. Los Vecinos will be a vibrant addition to the community, and will encourage further development in the area. Finally, the project will provide much needed permanent, family rental housing in the City. The City's draft Housing Element puts forth the following policy objective: "Policy Focus 2.2 Support Housing Opportunities to Meet the City's Diverse Needs: Utilizing available resources, seek to preserve and provide sufficient, suitable, and varied housing by small and large family size, type of unit, and cost, particularly permanent affordable housing that meets the diverse housing needs of existing and future residents of Chula Vista. Los Vecinos meets this need, providing housing for both small and large families. And, the housing will be permanently affordable. . d-.-;2.\ 4 & Building Planning Divi:.ion Department Development Processing P I ann n g CI1Y OF (HUlA VISTA Disclosure Statement Pursuant to Council Policy 101-01, prior to any action upon matters that will require discretionary action by the Council, Planning Commission and all other official bodies of the City, a statement of disclosure of certain ownership or financial interests, payments, or campaign contributions for a City of Chula Vista election must be filed.

A. Proiect Setting The project site is l.5-acres in size and consists of one parcel. The site is located at 1501 Broadway, between Orange Avenue and Anita Street. The site is within the Montgomery Specific Plan area of the City of Chula Vista (see Exhibit A - Locator Map). The project site is relatively level and has been previously mass graded. The site is developed with the existing vacant Tower Lodge Motel including parking lot, paved driveways, parking areas, and swimming pool. A sewer lift station with a holding tank is located on the northeastern portion of the site. On-site vegetation includes ornamental trees, palm trees, grass, and shrubs (see Exhibit B-Existing Site Plan). The land uses immediately surrounding the project site are as follows: North: South East: West: Storage Facility Multifamily Residential/Condominiums Mobile Home Park Auto Repair Business and Multifamily Residential/Condominiums B. ProiectDescriotion The project proposal consists of an affordable 42 unit multi-family residential development including. a community center for use by project residents. The. proposal includes a density bonus request pursuant to California State Law (Government Code 65915). The proposed multi-family residential units would be contained within one three-story building. Patios and balconies are proposed adjacent to Broadway and at the northwest and southwest coiners of the project site. Onsite improvements include landscaping, perimeter masonry walls and fencing, retaining walls, community patio and barbeque area, tot lot; recreational turf area, small recreational courts, security lighting, paved ground level parking lot and other amenities. Proposed site improvements include new driveways and sidewalks, emergency fire lane and services, private interior roads, storm drain facilities/filtration systems, water service extensions, sewer facility improvements, underground existing utilities, retaining walls, open space sitting areas, landscaped treatments, trash enclosure, tot lot, security lighting and other amenities. The proposed open space area includes some balconies and ground level patios. ~..~~ 1 A total of 68 parking spaces would be provided onsite; four spaces less than the required City Parking Code requirement. Please refer to the Traffic Section below for details regarding parking and Density Bonus/State Law allowances. C. Compliance with Zoning and Plans The project site is designated CTP (Commercial Thoroughfare/Precise Plan) Zoning and MUR (Mixed-Use Residential). Project permitting includes Rezone (to convert CT to RJ) by the Planning Commission, Design Review by the CYRC, and a Density Bonus by the Redevelopment Agency/City Council. D. Public Comments On April 2, 2007, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project site. The public review period ended April II, 2007. No public comments were received during this time period. On April 16. 2007 a Notice of Availability of the Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proiect was posted in the County Clerk's Office and circulated to property owners within a SOD-foot nr.adius of the proiect site. The 30-dav public comment period closed on Mav 16. 2007. No written public comments were received during the public review period. _ E.__Identification of Environmental Effects An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental Checklist form) determined that the proposed project may have potentially significant environmental impacts, however, mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Air Ouality To assess potential air quality impacts of the project, an Air Quality Analysis for the Los Vecinos project, April II, 2007, was prepared by Eilar and Associates, Inc. The emission factors and threshold criteria contained in the South Coast Air Quality Management District GuidelineslTbresholds for Air Quality Analysis and the current URBEMlS were utilized in the air quality analysis. The addition of emissions to an air basin is considered under CEQA to be a significant impact. Due to demolition and construction activities, minimal grading and a previously developed site, the proposed project is anticipated to .create only short term impacts as summarized below. Construction Activity Impacts It is anticipated that based on the project's emission factors and proposed construction activities the proposed project will exceed the. SCAQMD's daily threshold emission levels. Air quality impacts resulting from construction-related operations are considered short-term in duration since construction-related activities are a relatively short-term activity. The proposed project would result in short-term air quality impacts directly related to demolition/cleanup, grading and construction activities associated with the project. Worker and equipment vehicle trips would create temporary emissions of dust, fumes, equipment exhaust, spillover and other air pollutants associated with the grading/construction and cleanup activities. Exhaust emissions would result from on and off site '---6~ 2 heavy equipment. Dust control and emission controls are recommended for off-road construction equipment as well. As a mitigation requirement, construction equipment exceeding 100 brake- horsepower must meet Tier 3 emission limits during all grading phases of the project construction. All proj ect emissions are anticipated to be at or below the standard thresholds. Implementation of the Air Quality Mitigation Measure No. I contained in Section F below would mitigate short-term construction-related air quality impacts to below a level of significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Project Operational/Long Term Impacts The proposed project once developed would not result in significant long-term local or regional air quality impacts. The project would result in a net decrease in vehicle trips. According to the project traffic study, the previous motel use generated 324 daily trips and the project would result in 252 daily trips. No area source or operational vehicle emission estimates will exceed the Air Quality significance thresholds, nor create long-term air quality impacts. Geology and Soils To assess potential geological and soils impacts of the project, a Preliminary Geological Investigation for Proposed Residential Development, 1501 Broadway, Chula Vista, California, October 17, 2006, ~l!s prepared by Leighton and Associates, Inc. The results ofthis analysis are summarized below. The project site is not located in an active Earthquake Fault Zone as created by the Alquist-Priolo Act and associated Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones. The nearest active fault is the Rose Canyon fault approximately 5 miles away. No known significant or suspected seismic hazards associated with the project site have been identified. Any development must be constructed in accordance with the California Building Code or state-of-the art seismic design parameters of the Structural Engineers Association of California. No significant seismic related impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed proj ect. LiquificationlSubsurface Conditions Liquefaction and settlement of soils is characterized by a loss of shear strength to the affected soil layers, causing the soil to act as a viscous liquid not capable of supporting structures or creating instability. Based upon the subsurface explorations, overall liquefaction hazards to the project site are considered low and no significant impacts are created. According to the study based upon subsurface conditions, the topsoil and near surface soils were previously disturbed by the existing site conditions and proposed demolition of the existing motel buildings, were considered inadequate for supporting the fill or additional structural loads associated with the proposed project buildings. During site grading this impacted soil area should be removed within the building pads and pavement areas. In addition, any onsite soils that are to be used for compacted fill must be free of any organic materials, debris or large rock fragments. A final soils report is required to be prepared to satisfaction of the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of grading and construction permits. Erosion control measures will be identified in conjunction with the preparation of the grading plans and implemented during the construction phase. Through project design as recommended in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, and the mitigation measures contained in Section F below, potential geological impacts would be mitigated to a level of less than significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Measure Monitoring and Reporting Program. 'A-a'$' 3 Hazards/Hazardous Materials In order to assess potential hazardous materials impacts, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report was prepared by Leighton and Associates, Inc., on August I, 2006, and addendum dated March 2007 for the project site. Please refer to the following summary below. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment According to the Phase I, based upon historical records the project site has been developed with a motel/motor lodge from approximately 1949 to the present. The site contains the motel, parking lot, swimming pool, office and landscaped treatments. The motel is currently vacant and non-operational. The proposed project includes the demolition of the motel and associated improvements, refer to Lead! Asbestos Section. On-site Investigation On July 7, 2006 a site investigation and soil samplings were conducted. The soil samplings were collected between the sewer lift station and motel to assess any contamination due to sewage spills reported by the City of Chula Vista. The soil samples were analyzed for contamination. In the event of contamination within the soil, the same threshold level is used for soil as for groundwater as was in .. .this case. No fecal coliforrns exceeded the reporting unit threshold levels of the Regional Water Qualty Control Board (RWQCB) groundwater discharge requirements. No other environmental concerns including staining, Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs), undocumented fill or waste dumping were observed or reported during the site observation. Off-site In accordance with standard assessment procedures, regional database listings of hazardous wastes and materials sites within the project site were reviewed. Based upon Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) cases, three LUST cases at two locations were identified within V. mile of the site. Two cases have been closed and one active case remains and is currently underway or pending closure as regulated by the regional agencies; County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). However, due to the fact that this location is located at a lower level than the project site, no potential for significant hazardous impacts is anticipated. Asbestos and lead-based paint The existing motel lodge, office and associated improvements are proposed for demolition and may contain asbestos and lead-based paint which is a potentially significant health hazard. Prior to any demolition activities the presence of asbestos and lead-based paint must be ascertained and removed if present by a licensed, registered, asbestos and lead abatement contractor in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Rule 361.145, Standard for Demolition and Renovation. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate potential hazards/hazardous materials impacts to a level of less than significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. ~~~ 4 Hvdrology and Water Quality In order to assess potential drainage impacts of the project, a Preliminary Drainage Study Jar Los Vecinos, Chula Vista, California, dated March 14, 2007 and addendum dated April 2007, was prepared by Lintvedt, McColl & Associates. The study methodology is based upon the City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual, Drainage Design Section and County of San Diego Hydrology manual. The purpose of the study included the analysis of the year floods up to the I DO-year flows for both pre and post development conditions, analysis and identifying any potential significant impacts. Upon construction development and associated site improvements, there will be a slight increase of impervious area; 1.03 acres or 79% of the site. However, based upon project design, project conditions or measures, and existing developed land conditions there are no significant drainage concerns or significant changes to downstream flows anticipated. Existing Conditions and Drainage Improvements The project site currently drains west towards Broadway into an existing storm drain inlet (24" pipe) that flows north along Broadway. Proposed Drainage Improvements Based upon review of the preliminary drainage study, the Engineering Department has determined th~t through project design and conditions there are no significant issues or impacts regarding the proposed drainage improvements. The drainage analysis results verify"that the project does not adversely impact the existing City storm drain facilities. The proposed drainage improvements are designed to collect on-site drainage and convey it towards the existing storm drain system along Broadway. The new storm drain features include a storm drain connection consisting of an IS-inch pipe, gutter flows throughout the parking areas, roof drain outlets, vegetated swales, new and replacement of impervious landscaped areas prior to proper filtration systems. During construction, implementation of comprehensive Best Management Practices will control construction-related erosion and sediment. Site Design BMPs focus on the use of landscaped areas as part of the drainage system and shall detain and filtrate runoff to the maximum extent. A detailed summary of the construction BMPs will be included with the required preparation of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). As a standard condition, a fmal drainage study will be required in conjunction with the preparation of the project grading plans. The proposed drainage improvements as described above would improve the overall on-site drainage system and accommodate the proposed project. The drainage facilities shall be installed at the time of the site development to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Water Quality In order to assess potential water quality impacts created by the proposed project, a Water Quality Technical Report was prepared by Lintvedt, McColl & Associates dated March 13, 2007 and addendum dated April 2007. The study also includes analysis to verify that post-construction runotI volumes have been maintained at the pre-construction volume levels. The applicant/developer will be required to implement post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) to the maximum extent practicable, including the use of high pollutant removal efficiency treatment BMPs. The City of Chula Vista SUSMP requires a combination of site design, source control, and treatment control BMPs. Site design BMPs will include landscaped treatment within the project areas, increased A-~\ 5 building density, rooftop runoff onto pervious landscaped areas, runoff directed away from top of slopes and all slopes landscaped to avoid erosion and natural vegetated swales. The applicant will be required to comply with all requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), City of Chula Vista's Storm Water Management Manual and implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent pollution of the storm water systems during and after construction. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be developed and implemented concurrently with the grading of the project site. The applicant will also be required to comply with the NPDES Municipal Permit, Order No. R9-2007-000l and other permit requirements, identify potential storm water pollutants as well as proposed BMPs that will be used for treatment, and submit a water quality study with submittal of [mal grading/improvement plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Storm or non-storm water from such designated area shall not be discharged into City storm drainage systems but disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate potential hydrology/water impacts to below a level of significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation . Monitoring and Reporting Program. Noise - - A-noise study was prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., Exterior Noise Analysis Report. dated April 11, 2007, to assess potential noise impacts of the proposed project. The noise assessment analyzed the project with respect to the regulations contained in the Chula Vista Municipal Code (noise control ordinance). A copy of the noise study is_ avail~ble for review at the Planning and Building Department. Existing Conditions The project site is currently vacant and surrounded by residential and commercial land uses. The project site frontage is along Broadway, between Orange Avenue and Anita Street. The existing noise is primarily generated by traffic that travels along Broadway. Broadway has an existing average daily traffic (ADT) volume of 18,400 vehicles (SANDAG 2007). One-hour sound level measurements were conducted during the afternoon peak hour traffic period to identify the existing noise levels created by the vehicle traffic. The posted speed for Broadway is 35 miles per hour, a four-lane major roadway according to the General Plan update. Existing Plus Project Conditions The noise generators (traffic) will remain the same, as the proposed project is a residential use similar to the existing motel land use. Future ADT volume was calculated out to be approximately 27,500 vehicles (City of Chula Vista). The future traffic noise will have a maximum noise level of 72 dBA CNEL at the proposed building facades, including the patioslbalconies facing west towards Broadway. All remaining patioslbalconies facing north and south will range from 67 to 61 dBA and those patioslbalconies within the interior courtyards range from 37-33 dBA. The City's dBA CNEL exterior noise requirement for residential land use is 65 dBA CNEL. The patioslba1conies located along the frontage of Broadway facing west, and those few units facing northwest and southwest corners with levels above 65dBA, as identified in the noise study, will be impacted by the future traffic noise levels. Any balconies or patio areas that are to be counted towards required open space will require mitigation. The mitigation recommended is a six-foot sound attenuation barrier along the perimeter of the patio. The wall barrier would be solid in construction with no holes or gaps. In order to maintain a view, the barrier may include glass ;;t-b"" 6 or plexiglass with a minimum density of 3.5 Ibs'/foot,. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate future exterior traffic noise impacts to the patios adjacent to Broadway and any other balconies that are counted toward the required open space for the project. An interior noise analysis evaluating proposed exterior wall construction, windows and doors would be required once final building design plans are completed to ensure that the interior noise levels meet the California Code of Regulations, Title 24: Noise Insulation Standard of 45 dBA CNEL or less. Should the interior noise analysis determine that interior noise thresholds can only be met with windows being closed, then the building plans will have to call out mechanical ventilation for impacted units. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate potential interior noise impacts to below a level of significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Short-Term Constnlction Noise Pursuant to Section 17.2.050(J) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, construction work (including demolition) in residential zones that generates noise disturbing to persons residing or working in the vicinity is not permitted between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, except when necessary for emergency repairs required for the health and safety of any member of the community. Due to the presence of the adjacent multi-family residential development and mobile home park, this provision of the Municipal Code applies to the project and would ensure that the residents and occupants would not be disturbed by construction noise during the most noise sensitive periods of the day. Outdoor/Rooftop Mechanical Equipment Noise Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC) equipment is proposed on the rooftops of the residential building units. The noise generated by the HV AC equipment would vary depending on the type and size of the mechanical equipment. Based upon the preliminary mechanical plans and lack of complete noise assessment due to unavailability of final rooftop mechanical plans, the study concluded that noise generated from the HV AC could exceed the City's noise standard. Noise impacts related to the outdoor mechanical equipment are considered significant. Therefore, an additional acoustical study will be required to ensure that the muitiple floor interior noise levels of the residential use would not exceed the 45 Leq standard. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below have been included to mitigate HVAC/or rooftop mechanical equipment noise impacts to below a level of significance. F.

Comments: a) Based upon site visit and review, it has been determined that the subject building(s) associated with the motel are not historically significant. The structures are non-descript buildings that do not represent a significant period of time or architectural type. There is no evidence or record to indicate these buildings were significant to the history of Chula Vista or would meet any other criteria for consideration for listing on the City of Chula Vista Historic List. No historic resources are !mown or are expected to be present within the project impact area. Therefore, no substantial adverse change in the significance ofa historical resource as defmed in Section 15064.5 is anticipated. b) Based on the level of previous disturbance to the site associated with the development of the motel and the relatively minor grading necessary to construct the proposed multifamily residential project, the potential for impacts to archaeological resources is considered to be less than significant. c) The project site is identified as an area of low to moderate potential for paleontological resources in tbe City's General Plan ElR. Based on the relatively minimal necessary construction activities and previous site disturbance when the motel was developed, potential for impacts to paleontological resources is considered to be less than significant.

The City's Fire performance objectives and thresholds will continue to be met. b) According to the Chula Vista Police Department, adequate police protection services can continue to be provided upon completion of the proposed project. The proposed project would not have a significant effect upon or result in a need for substantial new or altered police protection services. The City's Police performance objectives and thresholds will continue to be met. c) According to the Chula Vista Elementary School District letter dated February 9, 2007, the applicant would be required to pay the statutory building pemrit school fees for the proposed residential construction. The District requires a copy of the approved tentative map upon project approval. The proposed project would not induce substantial population growth; therefore, no significant adverse impacts to public schools would result. d) The proposed project would not induce significant population growth, as it is a residential infill project. However, the applicant will be required to pay Park Acquisition and Development Fees (PAD) in accordance with Chapter 17.10 "Parklands & Public Facilities" of the city ofChula Vista Municipal Code. e) According to the Preliminary Sewer Study for the Los Vecinos project and dated March 19, 2007 and addendum dated April 2007 (Lintvedt McColl and Associates), the project site is within the boundaries. of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The existing area sewer facility system includes an existing 8-inch sewer line along the project frontage on Broadway. The onsite sewer improvements and laterals are proposed to each building unit to the City public sewer main. Based upon the sewer analysis) the proposed project would not significantly impact the existing off-site downstream wastewater facilities and would not trigger additional sewer improvements due to the proposed change in land use. The proposed project would not have a significant effect upon or result in a need for new or expanded governmental services and could continue to be served by existing public infrastructure and therefore, would not have a significant effect upon the public facilities.. Mitie:ation: No mitigation measures are required. XIV. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? o o o . b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which have an adverse physical effect on the environment? o o o . v-\.15 15 Issues: Comments: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated No Impact Less Than Significant Impact a) Because the proposed project would not induce significant population growth, it would not create a demand for neighborhood or regional parks or facilities nor impact existing neighborhood parks or recreational facilities. Therefore, the proposed project does not create a significant impact to City recreational facilities or services. b) The proposed project does not include or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, therefore, does not have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required. xv. TRANSPORTATION I TRAFFIC. Would the proj eel: a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in aIr traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? \"....'v.~ 16 D D D ..

Issues: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact Comments: (a-g) To identify potential traffic impacts associated with the project development, a Traffic Analysis Report/Site Access Evaluations - Los Vecinos, Chula Vista dated February 8, 2007, was prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The intent of the analysis was to identify key impacts regarding the development of the proposed project. The proposed project would provide 42 multifamily residential units within the western portion of the City. According to the traffic report, the project would generate 252 daily trips; including 20 AM peak hour trips and 23 PM peak hour trips. The original site was occupied previously bya motel that contained 36 units and the former use had a daily traffic generation of 324 daily trips, including 26 AM peak hour and 29 PM peak hour trips. The project site is currently accessed via two driveways off Broadway that will be closed. Two new driveways will be relocated along Broadway and will continue to provide access to the project site. Broadway is classified as a four-lane major roadway in the General Plan Update. This segment of Broadway near the project site is flat therefore, a clear line of sight will .be. provided at each driveway based upon required building setbacks, signage and landscaping in accordance with development plans. There may be minor obstruction to motorists as they approach the site from the south and exit the site going towards the south. However, there are opportunities during gaps in traffic for the left turning phase and left turns and u turns further north and at the northbound left turn pocket at Broadway/Palomar Street. This is not a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips or volume of road capacity and the project does not create an adverse congestion impact to the nearby intersections, or conflict with regional adopted transportation policies, plans or significantly impact alternative transportation systems. According to the Fire Department adequate turn around space is provided on the interior roadway that allows emergency vehicles and vehicle/truck circulation adequate queing and turnaround. In addition, the 26' foot-width drive aisles and emergency circulation path as reflected in the project design meets the Fire Department standards. Private drives as reflected in the development plans and through project design meet adequate turnaround radius requirements according to the Engineering Department. A total of 68 ground level parking spaces will be provided on the project site. These spaces will be located along the outer perimeter of the site between the building and perimeter wall/fencing. Of these 68 spaces, 37 are standard open spaces, 19 are compact spaces, and 13 are standard covered spaces. The City Municipal Code/Zoning Ordinance requires 72 parking spaces for the proposed project and allows a maximum of 10% of the total number to be compact (7 spaces). Therefore, the applicant has requested that the parking deficiency be apart of the development standards under the California State Law/Government Code Section 65915 that allows the parking deviation in exchange for a percentage of units to be identified as lower income housing. No significant traffic impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project and minor parking deviation. Mitil!ation: No mitigation measures are required. XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: )..-\.A 18 Issues: Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water dr~age facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed; e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? 1,.....\.,'\ 19 Potentially Significant Impact D D D D D D D Less Than Significant With Mitigation I ncorpora ted D D .

No exceedance of wastewater requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board would result from the proposed project. b) The proposed project area is within the Sweetwater District Water service territory according to written communications dated December 27, 2006. An existing 8-inch water main is located on the eastside of Broadway, along the project frontage. There is one existing domestic water service to the project site. The proposal shows a relocation of the existing water meter behind the proposed new sidewalk along Broadway. The applicant must submit a plan that includes the total fixture unit count of all proposed new plumbing fixtures, so that appropriate services sizes can be determined. Private onsite fIre hydrants and fue services for the building sprinklers will be served by the private onsite fIre services located in the public right of way, but clear of driveway apron. The applicant will be required to coordinate with the Water District for proper design guidance including any new and existing water services will be required to be installed with backfJow prevention assemblies and if applicable, proper check detectorslbackfJows for fIre protection systems. The project bas been conditioned to comply with the Sweetwater District Water regulations and standards. The existing sewer main is an 8-inch sewer line that runs north along Broadway. Based upon the Sewer Srudy dated March 19, 2007 and addendum April 2007 (Lintvedt, McColl & Associates), the proposed improvements include the extension of the existing main and lateral connections onto the project site. The proposed project would not signifIcantly impact the existing off-site downstream wastewater facilities and would not trigger additional sewer improvements due to the proposed change in land use. The applicant, as a project condition; will be required to submit a design plan with proper sized pipes and a [mal sewer plan to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. No significant impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed project. c) See Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section E. The potential discharge of silt during construction activities could impact the storm drain system further along Broadway. Appropriate erosion control measures will be identifIed in conjunction with the preparation of [mal grading plans to be implemented during construction. The proposed project is subject to the NPDES General Construction Pennit requirements and will obtain pennit coverage and develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to issuance of grading pennits. In addition, the project shall be required to implement post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) to the Maximum Extent Practicable, including the use of high pollutant removal efflciency treatment BMPs. The proj ect shall be conditioned to implement construction and post-construction water quality Best Management Practices ('BMPs) for storm water pollution prevention in accordance with the Cbula Vista Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). d) The project site is within the potable water service area of the Sweetwater District.

'J---"\ J- ~~ Issues: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact Comments: a) The project is a affordable multifamily housing project containing 42 residential units with a community center for use by the residents. The residential units are proposed within one three-story building. It would not significantly induce population growth, as it is a minimum sized residential use; therefore, no impacts to library facilities would result. No adverse impact to the City's Library Threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. b) No adverse impact to the City's Police threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. Police Department states that they can continue to provide service at current levels. Security measures are recommended to the management that include educational information for the tenants and security lighting within the parking lot, interior walkway and building exterior. No adverse impact to the City's Police threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. c) According to the Fire Department, adequate fire protection and emergency medical services can continue to be provided to the site. Although the Fire Department has indicated they will provide service to the project, the project will still contnoute to the incremental increase in fire service demand throughout the City. This increased demand on fire services will not result in a . .significant cumulative impact No adverse impact to the City's Fire threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. d) See Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section E. e) The proposed project would not induce significant population growth, as it is a residential infill project and would not impact existing or proposed recreational facilities. However, the applicant will be required as a condition of project approval to pay Park Acquisition and Development Fees (pAD) in accordance with Ordinance No. 2945 adopted by City Council on January 6, 2004. f} The applicant proposes new drainage facilities, filtration and treatment systems on the project site in order to properly convey stormwater from the developed site to existing city drainage facilities. The project site does not currently contain a public storm drain system In order to avoid drainage impacts mitigation is required. See Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section E. g) The project site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The site currently contains a motel that provided 36 units and the proposed project includes 42 multifamily residential units, a difference of 6 units requiring wastewater service. The existing area sewer facility system includes an existing sewer line north along Broadway. No adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. h) The proposed project area is within the Sweetwater District Water service territory according to written communications dated December 27,2006. Project impacts to the Authority's storage, treatment, and transmission facilities would be less than significant. Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required. ~-'? ~' --, Issues: XVIII.

' The Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association was formed to provide a struCtured association for the residents, property owners, and business owners of the underrepresented Southwestern region of Chula Vista, to participate in the preservation, planning, development and protection of the unique character of the area through community education and group action. After a presentation and a Question and Answer session at our January 18, 2007 meeting the members of the Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association formally resolved to support the Wakeland affordable housing project known as Los Vecinos at 1501 Broadway (the previous site of the Tower Lodge). We ask the city ofChula Vista and the Redevelopment Agency to support this project in all ways possible, including financially. The SWCVCA feels it is critical that the city of ChulaVista provide more affordable housing. The southwestern portion of Chula Vista now has a large number of homeless people. Many of these people could come in off the streets if the city had adequate affordable housing for individuals and families. The people being displaced from affordable mobile home parks also are in need of alternative affordable housing. We were impressed with the high quality ofprojects by the Wakelan,d Corporation and the architect they have engaged. This project promises to be ,a model of sustainable development as well as an asset to our community. We do have one concern with the project. The SWCVCA asks that the 5-foot setback from the street be reconsidered. We understand that the city planners insisted upon this. We think with a three-story building 5 feet is insufficient. The General Plan Update promotes pedestrian friendly communities. The pictures we were shown of plans for Broadway during the General Plan Update process had wide sidewalks and ample set backs in order to encourage activity on the street. A five-foot setback does not support a pedestrian friendly, active street.

Based upon results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator determined that the project could result in effects on the environment. However, revisions to the project made by, or agreed to, by the applicant would avoid the effects, or mitigate the effects, to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur. Therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-07-017; and WHEREAS, on May 23, 2007, a Planning Commission hearing time and place was set for said Rezone and Density Bonus and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, and its mailing to property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property, at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing; and WHEREAS, a hearing at the time and place as advertised, namely May 23, 2007, at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, was held before the Planning Commission and said hearing was thereafter closed; and 2...A\ CVRC Resolution 2007- Page 2 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, IS-06-008; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after considering all evidence and testimony presented, recommended by a vote of 7-0 that the City of Chula Vista City Council approve Rezone (PCZ-07-06) of 1.46-acres site from CTP to R-3 zone and the Density Bonus and concessions; and WHEREAS, the proceedings and all evidence introduced before the Planning Commission at the public hearing on this Project held on May 23, 2007, and the minutes and the resulting resolution, are incorporated into the record of this proceeding; and WHEREAS, a hearing time and place was set by the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation for consideration of the application and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, and its mailing to property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property, at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing; and WHEREAS, the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC) held a duly noticed public hearing to consider said application at the time and place as advertised, namely June 14, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation and said hearing was thereafter closed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation does hereby find, determine, and resolve as follows: A. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Enviromnental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial Study, IS-07-017, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based upon results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator determined that the project could result in effects on the enviromnent. However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur; therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-07-017. The Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation finds that, in the exercise of its independent judgment, as set forth in the record of its proceedings, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07-017), which is on file in the Planning and Building Department, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the Enviromnental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista; and that the Project's enviromnental impacts will be mitigated by adoption of the Mitigation Measures described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and that the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is designed to ensure that during Project implementation, the A~J- CVRC Resolution 2007- Page 3 permitteelProject applicant, and any other responsible parties implement the project components and comply with the Mitigation Monitoring Program. B. REZONE The rezoning provided for herein is consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan, public necessity, convenience and the general welfare and good zoning practice support the amendments to the Municipal Code. The proposed R-3 zone would provide an implementing zone for the existing Mixed Use Residential (MUR) designation of the City's 2005 General Plan, and will contribute to the public convenience and general welfare by further assisting the City's efforts to satisfy the goals and objectives of the General Plan Land Use and Transportation (LUT) Policy 42.3 and 42.9 for this area and the goals and objectives of the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan (2004) regarding the removal of blight and physical improvement to this area of the redevelopment project area. In order to implement this zoning change, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista would need to adopt an ordinance amending the Chula Vista Zoning Map established by Section 19.18.010 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code to rezone the site as depicted in Exhibit A from CTP to R-3 (Apartment Residential). C. DENSITY BONUS Pursuant to Government Code section 65915(d)(2)(C), an applicant shall receive three incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 30 percent of the total units for lower income households, or at least 15 percent for very low income households. Staff has reviewed the requested concessions from the City's development standards. The density bonus concessions of parking, open space and building setback reductions help to offset an otherwise greater financing gap, which could result in the infeasibility of the project. Additionally, the concessions do not have any specific adverse impacts as noted in California Government Code. The parking spaces proposed appear to be adequate based on data of similar affordable housing projects located throughout San Diego County. While the proposed setback would deviate from the Zoning Ordinance, the reduction in the setback would afford the project a more urban and pedestrian-oriented character by being closer to the sidewalk, as compared with a suburban type of development with larger front setbacks. An urban project is more compatible with the urban character ofthe western part of the City. The reduction in required usable open space of 3,731 square feet will not affect the residents' quality of life, as the proposed open space is well designed, and will be serviced by a variety of programs to keep the residents active and involved. Residents will experience either a private balcony or patio, a tot lot for the children, open play space, and a barbecue area with seating and tables for the residents' use, and an 807 square foot community center will provide resident services programs including computer classes, tutoring, arts and crafts, and outdoor recreation activities. ?-~") CVRC Resolution 2007- Page 4 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION after considering all reports, evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing with respect to the Rezone and the application for incentives and concessions pursuant to Density Bonus Law, finds that the Amendment of the Zoning Maps to rezone the 1.46-acre site at 1501 Broadway from the CT-P Zone to R-3 Zone is consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan and is supported by public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program IS-07-017, amending the zoning maps established by Municipal Code section 19.18.010 by rezoning the 1.46-acre site located at 1501 Broadway from the CT-P Zone to R-3 Zone, and approving incentives and concessions pursuant to Density Bonus Law for the reduction of certain development standards to allow the construction of a 42-unit multi-family affordable housing project. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION directs that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the City Council and Applicant.

CVRC Board Staff Report - Page 1 Item No.3 CORPORATION CHULA VISTA DATE: June 14, 2007 FROM: CVRC Board of Directors Redevelopment Agency Board of Di7s Jim Thomson, Interim City Manager Ii Ann Hix, Acting Community Development Director ~ Eric Crockett, Redevelopment Manager @/ TO: VIA: SUBJECT: Proposed FY 2007-08 Redevelopment Agency Operating and Capital Improvement Budget BACKGROUND: On June 19, 2007, the Office of Budget & Analysis and Finance Department will be presenting a comprehensive budget package to the City Council and Redevelopment Agency for Fiscal Year 2007-08. This report provides a summary of the key elements of the budget package that affect the operations of the CVRC and Redevelopment Agency, including two important proposed changes to the Redevelopment Agency budget structure: 1. Move staffing costs for Redevelopment and Housing from the budget of the Community Development Department, which resides in the General Fund, to the Redevelopment Agency budget. 2. Move expenditures for debt service payments for Agency-issued bonds from the City's General Fund budget to the Redevelopment Agency budget. These proposed changes, and others contained in the FY 2007-08 budget package, are the direct result of many months of collaborative efforts by the Departments of Community Development, Finance, and Office of Budget & Analysis. The changes allow all redevelopment and housing activities to be placed under one budget, which can be more effectively managed by Redevelopment and Housing staff and will be more transparent to the public and decision makers. These efforts and the proposed changes are consistent with several findings and recommendations made in the recent Chula Vista Independent 3-/ Staff Report - Item No.3 Page 2 Financial Review prepared and presented by Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) to the City Council and Redevelopment Agency, including a finding and recommendation that "". the Redevelopment Agency should be maintained as a separate budget unit." The remainder of this report provides a summary description and explanation of the proposed FY 2007-08 Agency budget, which is included as Attachment "A" to this report. RECOMMEN DA lION: Staff recommends that: 1. The Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopt the resolution recommending that the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency adopt the proposed operating and capital improvement budget for the Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority for Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget. 2. The Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation adopt the resolution recommending that the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency create a new Capital Improvement Project in the Merged Project Fund called "Southwest Planning and Civic Engagement Activities" and appropriate $312,000 from the available fund balance of the Merged Project Fund. 3. The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency adopt the resolution appropriating $312,000, amending the FY 2006-07 budget and create a new Capital Improvement Project in the Merged Project Fund called "Southwest Planning and Civic Engagement Activities" from the available fund balance of the Merged Project Fund. DISCUSSION: Redevelopment Agency Revenues In accordance with California Redevelopment Law, a Redevelopment Agency obtains funding for its redevelopment projects through a property tax apportionment method called "tax increment financing." Tax increment is available for re-investment in the project area and may be used to payoff any debt created in implementing the Redevelopment Plan. Tax increment does not create new taxes; it simply redistributes the growth in the annual tax base within the project area. 3-.:( Staff Report - Item No.3 Page 3 For FY 2007-08 the Agency estimates it will receive $13.1 million in gross tax increment revenue. $14 $12 $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 $0 FY 01-02 FY 02-03 FY 03-04 FY 04-0S FY 05-06 FY 06-07 Projected FY 07-08 Budget All tax increment monies generated are allocated among three basic public uses: (1) Affordable Housing, (2) Schools and Other Public Agencies, and (3) Redevelopment Activities (debt, administration, development agreements and capital improvement projects.) $640,000 Redevelopment Activities $160,000 Schools and Other Public Agencies 3,- .j Staff Report - Item No.3 Page 4 In addition to tax increment revenues, the budget includes investment earnings ($300,000), funds from the 2000 tax allocation bond proceeds ($3.5 million), a loan repayment from the Merged Project Area to the BayfrontfTown Center I Project Area ($900,000), staff time reimbursement for administering the City's CDBG and Home grants and a fee for the monitoring of affordable housing bonds issued by the City's Housing Authority ($700,000). Therefore, total Agency budgeted revenue for fiscal year 2007-08 is $18.5 million. Housing Funds California Redevelopment Law requires a Redevelopment Agency to set aside a minimum of 20 percent of all gross tax increment revenues generated within its Project Areas to a separate fund which is to be used exclusively for the preservation, improvement and expansion of the low and moderate income housing supply within the community. In FY 2007-08, the Agency projects the set aside amount to be approximately $2.3 million. These funds will be used to implement and administer housing programs and projects. During the Five Year 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 Implementation Plan. The Agency will utilize Low and Moderate Income Funds to support and advance the overall housing program. Other Expenses Other expenses, as represented in the redevelopment and housing portions of the budget, include all pass-through payments to taxing agencies, development agreement obligations and city staff services totaling approximately $6.1 million for FY 2007-08. Schools and Other Public Agencies or Pass Through Payments Pass through payments are required by state law to be made to taxing entities to ensure they are not negatively affected by a redevelopment plan. The taxing entities which receive payments are the Sweetwater Union High School District ($426,375), the County Office of Education ($57,585), the Chula Vista Elementary School District ($623,305), Southwestern Community College ($109,718) and the County of San Diego ($1,021,613), totaling an estimated $2.5 million in pass through payments for FY 2007-08. Development Agreements In addition to pass through payments, the agency has budgeted about $1.3 million for obligations outlined in agreements entered into in 1999 with the Goodrich Aero ...., -L' 1 0'-7 Staff Report - Item No.3 Page 5 , Structures Group (Relocation Agreement) and in 2000 with Gateway Chula Vista LLC (Disposition and Development Agreement). City Staff Services The City staff services category represents city-wide overhead and additional costs for other city department staff services other than Redevelopment and Housing such as Community Development administration, City Attorney, City Clerk, Human Resources, Planning, Engineering and Information Technology. The total estimated cost for these city staff services in FY 2007-08 is approximately $2.4 million. Agency Personnel The fiscal year 2007-08 budget moves redevelopment and housing positions from the General Fund to the Agency budget. Budgeting these eleven (11) staff positions directly in the Agency budget allows staff to be directly charged to the funding source. Direct charges from other departments and a citywide overhead rate continue to be applied, but are reflected as a separate line item in the Agency budget (City Staff Service, as described above). Although there are no overall reductions in costs to the Agency, these changes provide for a more transparent budget and makes it clear to the public and decision makers how redevelopment and housing dollars are being spent. Thus the budget now depicts a total personnel cost for fiscal year 2007-08 of $1.5 million, instead of the $4 million shown in the FY 2005-06 and 2006-07 budgets. Services and Supplies To support the redevelopment and housing work programs, costs for services and supplies are estimated for FY 2007-08 at $750,000 dollars. Capital Improvement Projects The Agency is allocating approximately $2.0 million of the 2000 tax allocation bond proceeds to various capital improvement projects (CIPs), including the Palomar Street improvement project ($500,000), the Auto Park directional sign ($1.2 million), and the repayment of debt to the City for use on the Otay Recreation Center ($300,000). Debt Usually, the flow of tax increment to the Agency is not sufficient to finance the full scope of redevelopment activities. Therefore, agencies issue bonds to capital ize the tax increment. The bonds work like loans that the Agency is responsible for repaying over many years. These bonds are not a debt of the City or County and are repaid solely from tax increment revenues. The Redevelopment Agency currently has about $42 million in outstanding bonds. 3--6- Staff Report - Item No.3 Page 6 For the first time, the agency will make its annual debt service payments toward a 1993 Refunding Certificate of Participation (COPS). Historically the COPS were paid by the General Fund and recorded as a loan, with interest, to the Agency. The Agency will also realize savings from the July 2006 refunding of the 1994 Tax Allocation Bonds. The total cost for debt service in FY 2007-08 will be approximately $4.4 million. Proposed FY 2006-07 Appropriation For Capital Improvement Project Staff is proposing that the Agency create a new Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for "Southwest Planning and Civic Engagement Activities" and appropriate $312,000 from the available fund balance of the Merged Project Fund for a new CIP that will amend the FY 2006-07 budget. The funding will come from the salary savings from the CVRe's unfilled CEO position. The CIP would be consistent with the Agency's recently approved (May 24, 2007) FY 2007-08 Annual Work Plan and would facilitate: (1) Southwest Community Strengthening Strategies, per the "white paper" report presented to the CVRC and Agency on May 24, 2007; and (2) Southwest Specific Planning, subject to initiation by Council action. Conclusion The proposed Redevelopment Agency budget is necessary to fulfill the work program approved by the CVRC and Redevelopment Agency on May 24, 2007. While this budget is sufficient to carry out the approved work program, there are limited resources available for proactive redevelopment activities, such as land acquisition or public improvement projects. EPS also recognized these limitations as a finding in their draft Chula Vista Independent Financial Review report: "...virtually no tax increment funding remains for project-related investments. The future ability of the Redevelopment Agency to make substantial investments will depend upon increases in the assessed value within the Redevelopment Project Areas." Staff believes that with the approval of the Urban Core Specific Area Plan in April 2007, the Bay Front Master Plan in 2008 and implementation of the Redevelopment and Housing work programs, the Agency can expect to attract capital investments that will begin to result in an increase in the assessed valuation of the Redevelopment Project Areas within the next three years.

The goals of the Redevelopment Agency are to reduce blight and to encourage new development, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of residential, commercial, industrial, and retail uses. As seen in the map below the Agency has five distinct project areas that have been combined into two for purposes of debt issuance. These two areas are the BayfrontfTown Center I and the Merged Project Area (Otay Valley, Southwest and Town Center II).

Fiscal Year 2007-08 I 271 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FUNDS The Agency budget is organized into three distinct groupings of funds. The groupings are Redevelopment Agency Project Area Funds, Tax Agreement and Debt Service Funds, and Housing Funds. The Project Area Funds are the primary operating funds for the Redevelopment Agency. The Tax Agreement and Debt Service funds are used to pay for Agency debt service on its outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds, Certificates of Participation and the Advances and other debt of the Agency. Also included in this group are funds to make payments for the negotiated tax agreements with the County of San Diego, County Office of Education, Sweetwater Unified High School District, Chula Vista Elementary School District and Southwestern Community College District. The Housing Funds are comprised of the Chula Vista Housing Authority, RDA Housing Fund and Low and Moderate Housing Fund. The Chula Vista Housing Authority accounts for all housing related activities not considered eligible for reimbursement by the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The RDA Housing Program Fund accounts for the City,'s Community Housing Improvement Program that loans money to low-income families for housing rehabilitation. The Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund accounts for the statutorily required 20% set-aside of tax increment revenue earned by the Agency for development of affordable housing. There were two notable changes to this year's Agency budget. The first is the direct budgeting of personnel costs for Redevelopment and Housing staff within their respective funding sources. All personnel costs for staff involved with redevelopment activities were removed from the General Fund and budgeted within the Merged Project Fund. Likewise, all personnel costs for staff involved with housing activities were removed from the General Fund and budgeted within the Chula Vista Housing Authority Fund. The other notable change involves the payment of debt service on the 1993 Refunding Certificate of Participation for a parking garage. The debt was originally issued by the Agency and the General Fund has been paying the debt service and recording the payment as a loan to the Agency. The Agency will begin making the debt service payment in the fiscal year 2007-08 budget. 272 I City of Chula Vista Proposed Budget -3 - 9 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY EXPENDITURE SUMMARY The fiscal year 2007-08 Redevelopment Agency budget is $19.4 million and includes: . $5.0 million for operating expenditures, . $4.1 million for loan repayments, . $4.4 million for debt service on the Agency Tax Allocation Bonds ($3.1), Certificates of Participation ($1.1) and ERAF Loans ($0.2), . $2.4 million for pass through payments to other taxing jurisdictions, . $2.0 million for Capital Projects, . $0.9 million payment to the Gateway Project . $0.4 million relocation payment to Goodrich . $0.2 million for Rehabilitation Loans The table below shows that expenditures in fiscal year 2006-07 increased to $70.9 million. This increase is explained primarily by the refunding of the 1994 Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A, B, C and D. In addition, a loan repayment of $6.0 million was budgeted in the Debt Service group of funds. Adjusting for these two items, the FY 2006-07 expenditures are $23.6 million, which is more in line with expenditures of prior years. 3 -/ () Fiscal Year 2007-08 I 273 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY EXPENDITURE SUMMARY Redevelopment Agency Expenditure Summary >\~:~. ~-- ~ - ""'"' 'G~~ ~ " , , ~ " ~ " , , "' , 'I ' , F'/2OO44l5 FY 2005.:06 i F'/2DD6-07 'n2DD7..08 , I ~ ;ul!d!;~~, ~~ , Actual Actual Amended iPmposed ,~~~,!,nge '" ~ ~ ~~ , ~ " , , BayfrontfTC I $ 5,970,326 $ 9,743,372 $ 6,450,918 $ 2,934,507 $ (3,516,411) Merged Project Area $ 4,552,981 $ 4,201,401 $ 8,228,783 $ 7,471,848 $ (756,935) Southwest Tax Agreements $ 861,634 $ 1,104,957 $ 1,018,347 $ 1,219,799 $ 201,452 Debt Service $ 7,107,230 $ 6,626,035 $11,987,140 $ 5,589,485 $ (6,397,655) Housing Funds $ 708,883 $ 1,226,785 $ 1,903,090 $ 2,197,473 $ 294,383 Subtotal $19,201,054 $22,902,550 $29,588,278 $19,413,112 $(10,175,166) 2006 TAB Refunding $ - $ - $41,282,599 $ - $(41,282,599) Totals $19,201,054 $22,902,550 $70,870,877 $19,413,112 $(51,457,765) 274 I City of Chula Vista Proposed Budget 3,-/1 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REVENUE SUMMARY The Agency's budgeted revenue for fiscal year 2007-08 is $18.5 million, which is a decrease of $1.3 million over the fiscal year 2006-07 budget. The decrease is related to a reduction in budgeted transfers-in for loan repayments. The budget includes: $13.1 million in tax increment revenues, $0.3 million of investment earnings and a transfer in from bond proceeds of $3.5 million related to the 2000 tax allocation bonds which will be used to fund various capital improvement projects and payments to the Gateway Project. In addition, a loan repayment of $0.9 million from the Merged Project Area to the BayfrontfTown Centre I Project Area is required to fund the Gateway Payment. The Housing Funds will receive $0.7 million in staff time reimbursements for administering the City's CDBG and HOME grants and for monitoring of bond covenants for affordable housing bonds issued by the City's Housing Authority.
