1.41.010 Purpose and intent.

A. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to establish administrative remedies for obtaining prompt compliance in the correction of both major and minor violations of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and state law. Conditions in violation of the Municipal Code or state law which affect conditions upon or uses of real property within the City of Chula Vista are hereby designated nuisances.

B. Each day a violation exists on real property is a continuing and additional violation, and all remedies, penalties and assessments are cumulative.

C. The remedies established in and through this Chapter may cross reference, consolidate or incorporate by reference, as applicable, enforcement methods established elsewhere in this code, in order to create a uniform process for prompt code compliance, administrative due process and effective enforcement.

D. Various steps or procedures under this chapter may require notice and a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40. When appropriate, notice and hearing requirements for separate administrative actions may be consolidated.

E. The City Manager, any Director and the City Attorney are each authorized to utilize and initiate the remedies established in this Chapter and CVMC Chapters 1.30 and 1.40.

F. The remedies in CVMC Title 1 may be used as a supplement to criminal or judicial enforcement action, or both, or in lieu thereof. Selection of one method shall not preclude the use of any other method or combination of methods when appropriate.

G. The terms “abatement,” “City Manager,” “code enforcement officer,” “Director,” “nuisance,” and “responsible party” are as defined in CVMC Section 1.04.010.

1.41.020 Reserved.

1.41.030 Notice of violation.

A. A code enforcement officer is authorized to serve a notice of violation upon a responsible party for any violation of the Municipal Code. The notice of violation will describe the violation, the dates and location of the violation, the applicable code section(s), the corrective action required and a date for compliance reinspection. The responsible party will be advised that a reinspection fee (CVMC Section 1.41.060) will be imposed for a second and all subsequent reinspection if compliance is not voluntarily obtained, and that an administrative citation, civil penalty, or any other remedy may also be imposed until the property is brought into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to correct a

May 19, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency Agenda violation. Typical compliance times may range between 10 and 30 calendar days dependent upon the nature of the violation(s). Immediate corrections may be required for violations that are easily corrected or present an imminent risk to health and safety. A code enforcement officer may extend the compliance time frame if appropriate. The notice of violation will inform the responsible party of the potential costs and consequences that may be imposed if voluntary compliance is not obtained within the time prescribed. If the violation is corrected in accordance with the terms of the notice of violation, no costs or charges will be imposed.

B. Service of a notice of violation is effective upon delivery or mailing pursuant to this section.

Failure or refusal to sign does not invalidate the notice of violation and subsequent proceedings.

C. The property will be reinspected for compliance. If the responsible party refuses to allow inspection, after a reasonable demand, the code enforcement officer may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50. Failure of the responsible party to allow inspection may result in a separate criminal violation for the failure to allow inspection (CCP Section 1822.57).

1.41.040 Recordation of notice of violation.

A. Whenever a violation on real property remains uncorrected after a notice of violation has been issued, a copy of the notice of violation may be recorded by the Director of Development Services or designee in the real property records of San Diego County if the following prerequisites are met:

1. A violation has remained uncorrected on the property for at least 30 calendar days following service of the notice of violation;

2. The property owner, if not the responsible party, has been notified of the prospective recordation and been offered the opportunity to correct the violation;

3. The property owner and all of the responsible parties have been notified that development permits shall be withheld during the time the property remains in violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.050, except for those permits that are necessary to bring the property into compliance; and

4. The responsible party and the property owner have been noticed and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 to contest the proposed corrective action and the proposed recordation.

B. The Director of Development Services or designee is authorized to record the notice of violation pursuant to this section upon issuance of the final order.

C. Cancellation of Recordation. The Director of Development Services or designee shall issue to the property owner and other responsible parties a signed notice of compliance which states on its face that it cancels the notice of violation once all violations have been corrected and any administrative penalties, costs and fines involved in the enforcement process have been paid. The notice of compliance shall be recorded by the Director of Development Services or designee if the notice of violation was recorded.

1.41.050 Nonissuance of permits.

After a notice of violation has been recorded against the property pursuant to CVMC Section

1.41.040, the Director of Development Services or designee shall withhold the issuance of any permits for development as allowed by law upon that property, save for those permits necessary to correct the violation(s). A party whose permits are to be withheld shall be noticed as part of the recordation process pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.040 and offered a hearing pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.40 in which to contest this decision.

1.41.060 Reinspection fees.

A. Reinspection fees are authorized to recover City costs when excessive time and effort are required to obtain code compliance. Reinspection fees are an appropriate method to recover costs that are disproportionately attributable to recalcitrant responsible parties.

B. After a notice of violation, administrative citation, or any other order is issued by the City which requires corrective action by a responsible party, that party will be notified that it will be liable for any reinspection fees necessary if the condition remains uncorrected. The first inspection following the issuance of the notice of violation, citation or order is considered part of the normal cost of enforcement and will not be charged if the condition is promptly corrected. Otherwise, it will be included as part of the costs of enforcement.

C.

1.41.110 Civil penalties.

A. The Council finds that there is a need for alternative methods of enforcement of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and applicable state codes. The Council further finds that the assessment of civil penalties through an administrative hearing procedure for code violations is a necessary alternative method of code enforcement. The administrative assessment of civil penalties established in this section is in addition to any other administrative or judicial remedy established by law which may be pursued to address violations of the Municipal Code or applicable codes.

B. Civil penalties may be assessed against a responsible party for continued violations of the Municipal Code or applicable state codes, whether of the same section or any combination, that reflect a continuing disregard for the requirements of such laws. The Director of Development Services or designee may issue a notice and order to the responsible party assessing a civil penalty pursuant to this section. The civil penalty may be enforced against the responsible party as a lien pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.140.

C. Except for violations of land grading ordinances contained in CVMCChapter 15.04 and violations of commercial cannabis provisions contained in CVMC Chapter 5.19, civil penalties may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $2,500 per violation per day.

D. The civil penalty for violations of land grading permits or land grading work done without the issuance of a permit shall be based on an estimate by the Director of Development Services or designee of grading work performed. The rate of civil penalties shall be as follows:

1. Less than 250 cubic yards, but not meeting the requirements for an exemption from grading permit under CVMC Section 15.04.150: $1,000 per violation;

2. Two hundred fifty-one (251) to 500 cubic yards: $5,000 per violation;

3. Five hundred one (501) to 1,000 cubic yards: $10,000 per violation;

4. Over 1,001 cubic yards: $25,000 per violation;

5. In the event any individual, firm, company, developer or property owner causes a second violation of the land grading permit ordinance, either on the same property or different property and whether or not part of the same development, the rate of civil penalties shall be doubled. For third and subsequent violations, the rate of civil penalties shall be multiplied by a factor of four.

E. Civil penalties for violations of CVMC Chapter 5.19 may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $10,000 per violation per day.

F. Civil penalties under this section may be accrued retroactive to the date the violations were first discovered, as evidenced by the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.030, or any later date determined by the Director of Development Services or designee. In determining the amount to be imposed on a daily rate, the Director of Development Services or designee shall consider the following factors:

Unless contested, the notice and order shall be final and be enforced pursuant to CVMC Section 1.41.160. If contested, the hearing examiner shall limit the hearing to the following issues:

1. Whether the responsible party maintained a use or condition on real property that violated the Municipal Code or state law on the dates specified; and

2. Whether the civil penalty assessed is consistent with the criteria expressed in subsection (F) of this section. The hearing examiner may, however, exercise discretion pursuant to CVMC Section 1.40.020(E) and increase or decrease the penalties assessed to a level determined to be supported by the evidence meeting the criteria under subsection (F) of this section.

H. The Director of Development Services or designee shall issue a final order based on the proceedings under subsection (F) of this section and establish a date for payment, following which date an enforcement lien may be imposed upon the property in accordance with applicable law. The imposition of an enforcement lien may be made a part of the proceedings and notice and order under CVMC Section 1.41.100 or this section.

1.41.120 Abatement action.

If a responsible party fails or refuses to correct a violation, proceedings may be undertaken to abate any existing or resulting nuisance, pursuant to CVMC Chapter 1.30. Abatement orders authorize the Director of Development Services or designee, to enter upon property and correct the violation or condition, or the removal of encroachment upon public property.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
May 19, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency Agenda 4 1.41.020 Reserved.1.41.020 Overview of process.

A. Violations of the Municipal Code affecting uses of or conditions upon real property may be corrected through the issuance of a notice of violation pursuant to CVMC 1.41.030 to the responsible party requiring certain actions to be taken to bring the property or structure into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable period of time in which to correct the violation, normally not less than 10 calendar days. Failure to comply within the time prescribed can then result in the issuance of an administrative citation in accordance with CVMC 1.41.100 or any other method or combination of methods deemed appropriate.

B. An administrative citation is a notice to the responsible party which mandates the corrective action and establishes a fine as a penalty for the prior noncompliance of the notice of violation. Subsequent administrative citations may be issued with increased penalty.

Corrective action that may be required of a responsible party includes, but is not limited to, the removal of encroachments into public property, the mitigation or restoration of land or adjoining property for illegal grading or development, the removal or modification of blockages of drainage ways and the removal of structures to rectify any code violation or cure any hazardous condition. It includes any other process necessary for abatement. In addition, through the notice and hearing procedures of Chapters 1.30 and 1.40 CVMC, the responsible party can be made subject to an order of abatement through which the corrective work will be undertaken by the City and the cost will be imposed as a lien against the property if the responsible party fails to respond.

C. Each day a violation exists on real property is a continuing and additional violation, and all remedies, penalties and assessments are cumulative.

D. In addition to a notice of violation, a cease and desist order can be issued pursuant to CVMC 1.41.070 to one or more responsible parties or other persons who perform work in violation of a permit or without a required permit. Violation of the cease and desist order is a separate misdemeanor. A responsible party or any person on scene actively conducting the violation under the direction of a responsible party is subject to arrest without a warrant for continuing work in violation of the cease and desist order, as well as for the actions constituting the violation of this code. A responsible party can be required to obtain necessary permits, restore or revegetate the property, or both, and correct or mitigate the consequences of the violation. Administrative citations can also be issued assessing administrative fines for both the creation of and the continuance of the violation.

E. If the responsible party fails or refuses to correct the violation, proceedings may be undertaken to abate any existing or resulting nuisance, pursuant to Chapter 1.30 CVMC.

Abatement orders authorize a Director to enter upon property and correct the violation or condition, or the removal of encroachment upon public property. Enforcement costs may be imposed against the responsible party and noncomplying property.

F. During the pendency of the violation and the enforcement process, a notice of violation may be recorded against the property pursuant to CVMC 1.41.040 describing the particulars of the violation to insure that the property is properly abated prior to or upon transfer. The recorded notice of violation will be released upon issuance of a notice of compliance which shall be recorded by the Director in due course within 15 days after request for such release by the property owner.

G. During the inspection and enforcement process, cost recovery can be imposed for the cost of reinspection (CVMC 1.41.060) and the costs of City services to abate (Chapter 1.30 Item 7.1 - Revised
5/5/2026

Page 67 of 1576 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

H. Various steps or procedures under this chapter may require notice and a hearing pursuant to Chapter 1.40 CVMC. When appropriate, notice and hearing requirements for separate administrative actions may be consolidated.

1.41.030 Notice of violation.

1.41.100 and 1.41.110 imposed until the property is brought into compliance. The responsible party will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to correct a violation. Typical compliance times may range between a minimum of 10 and calendar days to correct minor violations and no less than 30 calendar days dependent upon the nature of the for major violation(s).

Immediate corrections may be required for violations that are easily corrected or present an imminent risk to health and safety. A code enforcement officer may extend the compliance time frame for a reasonable period beyond those limits if appropriatecircumstances dictate.

The notice of violation will inform the responsible party of the potential costs and consequences that may ensue under this chapterbe imposed if voluntary compliance is not obtained within the time prescribed. If the violation is corrected in accordance with the terms of the notice of violation, no costs or charges will be imposed.

B. Service of a notice of violation is effective upon delivery or mailing pursuant to this section.

Failure or refusal to sign does not invalidate the notice of violation and subsequent proceedings.

C. The property will be reinspected once for compliance. If the responsible party refuses to allow inspection, after a reasonable demand, the code enforcement officer may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50. Failure of the responsible party to allow inspection or remedy the violation shall result in the issuance of an administrative citation, the charging of reinspection fees, and may result in a separate criminal violation for the failure to allow inspection (CCP Section 1822.57).

D. If the violation also constitutes the performance of work without a required permit or in violation of an issued permit, the code enforcement officer may issue a cease and desist order pursuant to CVMC 1.41.070 to temporarily and immediately enjoin the work and to take any other action appropriate at that time. If the violation creates a hazardous condition which affects public safety or an imminent threat to life, safety, summary abatement may be initiated pursuant to this section.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City Council formed CFD No. 97-2 in July of 1998 to establish a long-term financing mechanism to monitor and maintain open space within the Otay Ranch Preserve (“Preserve”). CFD No. 97-2 was initially divided into two (2) Improvement Areas, designated as Improvement Area “A” and Improvement Area “B”.

In 2003, Improvement Area “C” was established to include lands not originally included within the territory of CFD No. 97-2. Improvement Area “C” provides funds for 1) Resource Monitoring Program and 2) Preserve Operations and Maintenance activities. All properties annexing in CFD No. 97-2 since 2003 annex into Improvement Area “C”.

The requirement for a project to annex into CFD No. 97-2 is set forth as a condition of approval as part of the environmental review and entitlement process. There have been 13 previous annexations into CFD No. 97-2 to date, as listed below:

1. Otay Ranch Village 1 West (2000)

2. Otay Ranch Village 6 (2002)

3. Otay Ranch Village 11 (2003)

4. Otay Ranch Village 12 (2005)

5. Otay Ranch Village 7 (2005)

6. Otay Ranch Village 2 (2006)

7. Otay Ranch Planning Area 12 (2013)

8. Otay Ranch Millenia (2013)

9. Otay Ranch Village 8 West (2014)

10. Otay Ranch Village 3 (2016)

11. Bonita Glen (2020)

12. Otay Ranch Village 3, Neighborhood R-20 (2022)

13. Otay Ranch Village 8 East (2024)
Property to be Annexed
The property proposed to be annexed to CFD No. 97-2 Improvement Area “C” will be annexation No. 14. The project known as Eastlake Self Storage consists of 9.35 acres and was approved for a 1,200-unit self-storage

facility in 2020. The environmental impacts of the project were evaluated in Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) IS16-0004, State Clearinghouse Number 2019099048. Impacts to the Coastal Sage scrub, an upland habitat, were disclosed and the project was required to dedicate mitigation land off-site and annex into CFD No. 97-2 which would provide long-term funding for the monitoring and management of the resource. The special taxes set forth in Table 1 and Table 2 below will be levied to fund these monitoring and maintenance activities.

Maximum Special Taxes Improvement Area “C”
The approved maximum special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for Improvement Area “C” of CFD No. 97-2 are as follows:

Improvement Area “C”
Table 1 – Maximum Special Tax for Resource Monitoring
Special Tax Category Maximum Special Tax (Resource
Monitoring)
Category I – Residential (per square foot) $0.0096
Category I – Non-Residential (per acre) $157.06
Category II – Final Mapped Property (per acre) $157.06
Category III – Undeveloped Property (per acre) $101.37
Table 2 – Maximum Special Tax for Operations & Maintenance Special Tax Category Maximum Special Tax (Operation &
Maintenance)
Category I – Residential (per square foot) $0.0153
Category I – Non-Residential (per acre) $249.34
Category II – Final Mapped Property (per acre) $249.34
Category III – Undeveloped Property (per acre) $160.94
Additionally, the project has impacts on wetlands (riparian habitat) and is required to do an extensive restoration project of adjacent wetlands. The requirements for restoration are set forth in the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, Eastlake Storage Mitigation Project, March 2025. This work has started and will be completed within nine (9) months. Once the work is completed the applicant will maintain it for a minimum of 5 years until accepted by the City of Chula Vista (“City”) and resource agencies based on success criteria. During the 5-year maintenance period a portion of the maximum tax will be levied to establish a reserve fund. Once the re-established wetlands are accepted by the City and resource agencies, they will be maintained by the City with funding from CFD No. 97-2. The requirements for management of the wetlands are detailed in the Long-Term Management Plan, Eastlake Self storage Mitigation Project, dated June 2025.

Because CFD No. 97-2 has not previously maintained wetlands resources, a new Improvement Area “D” was created to fund the on-going maintenance activities. Once the City takes over maintenance, the special taxes will be levied at a rate to fully fund the annual maintenance requirements in the Long-Term Management Plan, not to exceed the maximum special tax rates set forth below. Eastlake Self Storage annexation to CFD No. 97-2 Improvement Area “D” is Annexation No. 1.

Maximum Special Taxes Improvement Area “D”
The approved maximum special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for Improvement Area “D” of CFD No. 97-2 are as follows:

Improvement Area “D”
Table 3 – Maximum Special Tax
Long Term
Management Fund
Requirement
Long Term
Management
Reserve &
Administrative
Expenses
Total Long-Term
Management Costs
$990 / acre $473 / acre $1,463 / acre
The rates for special taxes shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3 above are proposed to be increased each fiscal year, beginning Fiscal Year 2026-2027, by a factor equal to the annual percentage change in the San Diego Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, All Items) or zero percent (0%), whichever is greater. The special taxes are proposed to be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the administrator of CFD No. 97-2 may directly bill the special tax and may collect special taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary.

City staff has reviewed the proposed annexation boundary maps and has found them acceptable and ready for consideration by City Council. A reduced copy of the maps is provided as Attachments 1 & 2 to this report.

The amount of the special tax levy and annual process for levying the special taxes are set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for Improvement Area “C” and Improvement Area “D”, Attachments 3 and 4 respectively, to this report.

Proposed Resolutions
If approved, the proposed resolutions would accomplish the following:

A) Two (2) separate resolutions adopting the boundary maps for CFD No. 97-2 are the formal actions adopting the maps and setting forth the boundaries of proposed Annexation No. 14 to CFD No. 97-2, Improvement Areas “C” and the proposed Annexation No. 1 to CFD No. 97-2, Improvement Area “D”; and
B) Two (2) resolutions of intention to annex territory to CFD No. 97-2 are the jurisdictional resolutions declaring the intention of the City Council to authorize proposed Annexation No. 14 to Improvement Area “C” and Annexation No. 1 to Improvement Area “D” of CFD No. 97-2, and set the time and place for a subsequent public hearing to declare the results of a special election and formally authorize the levy of a special tax. The public hearing is planned to take place July 14, 2026, City Council meeting.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund as a result of this action. All costs of this annexation to the districts are borne by the developer and the on-going administration will be funded entirely by the district.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There are no ongoing year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund as a result of this action. Funding for CFD No. 97-2 is generated by special taxes levied annually on property owners.

The taxes are secured by each property and neither the General Fund or Development Services Fund has any obligation to provide funding.
