Subject: Public Comment ( Sunbow)
Hello Mayor Salas and members of the City Council,
I own a townhouse here in Chula Vista and was impressed to learn about the community benefits agreement included in upcoming Sunbow project in the UT.
I’ve heard the discussion about the need to preserve industrial land, but what we’ve seen in a lot of instances is where this type of property isn’t going to high- paying tech jobs. It’s going to gyms and storage facilities which isn’t providing the benefits to the city that this project would. The monies outlined in the Community Benefits Agreement will help bring new jobs, add parkland, and invest tens of millions of dollars more into our community than what an industrial project would bring.
I think this type of agreement is a really smart way make sure that the city is able to generate revenue for the projects and initiatives needed most, instead of just accepting that a 30-year- old plan is still relevant. Kudos to you and to the applicant for working together on this.
I hope you approve this project. Thank you!
