Honorable Mayor and City Council Members, June 2, 2026
I am appearing before you this evening to bring attention to a significant and growing liability facing the City of Chula Vista regarding the safety of our Downtown pedestrian crosswalks.
As the City continues to invest in and promote the revitalization of Downtown Third Avenue, increased pedestrian activity has created a corresponding need for enhanced safety measures. City officials and staff are aware that the combination of increased foot traffic and excessive vehicle speeds has resulted in a concerning pattern of vehicle- related incidents within the Downtown district.
Since 2022, there have been 16 reported collisions involving vehicles striking either pedestrians or fixed objects in the Downtown area. Most alarming is the recent incident in which a young boy was struck while using a Downtown crosswalk and suffered serious injuries requiring hospitalization. This incident serves as a stark reminder that the risks associated with these uncontrolled crossings are not theoretical— they are real, foreseeable, and potentially lifealtering.
City Staff possesses clear knowledge of an ongoing public safety concern. With each additional incident, the City' s exposure to legal liability and financial damages increases. Courts have consistently recognized that when a public agency becomes aware of a Page of1 7
Written PCRaso - Received Communicatioins - 06/ 01/ 2026
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 2, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda dangerous condition and fails to take reasonable corrective action, that agency may face substantial liability when injuries occur.
Fortunately, a practical and cost- effective solution already exists. In other areas of Chula Vista, the installation of stop signs has successfully reduced vehicle speeds and improved safety. Attached are photographs of locations where stop signs have proven effective, as well as seven heavily utilized uncontrolled crosswalks along Third Avenue where similar traffic-control measures could significantly reduce the risk of future vehicle- versus- pedestrian collisions.
The question before the City is not whether another serious accident will occur, but whether reasonable preventative action will be taken before it does. Every day that these hazardous conditions remain unaddressed increases the risk of additional injuries and further exposes the City to avoidable legal and financial consequences.
For these reasons, I respectfully urge the City Council to place this matter on a future agenda as soon as possible and direct staff to evaluate and implement appropriate traffic- calming measures, including the installation of stop signs at identified Downtown crosswalk locations.
The safety of our residents, visitors, and businesses and the City' s responsibility to protect them requires prompt action.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,

All of the projects that the City of Chula Vista proposes to fund with TransNet funds must be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), as well as projects that are funded with Federal or State transportation funds. The list of projects that are part of this action reflect the City’s fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which was adopted by the City Council on May 19, 2026. Staff recommends adopting the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31 for inclusion in the RTIP.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Each of the projects identified in the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31, has been or is in the process of being reviewed or will require review under CEQA at a future time in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Municipal Code. This determination is predicated on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15004, which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The voters of San Diego County approved the TransNet Program as Proposition A in November 1987. This proposition enacted a half-cent increase in the countywide sales tax through 2008 to fund specified transportation programs and projects. One third of the revenues generated by the tax were allocated by SANDAG to the local agencies for local street and road purposes.
In November 2004, 67 percent of County voters supported Proposition A, which extends TransNet from 2008 to 2048. The TransNet Extension Ordinance states that at least 70 percent of the funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects should be used to fund Congestion Relief (CR) projects. CR projects include the construction of new or expanded facilities, rehabilitation and reconstruction of roadways, traffic signalization, transportation infrastructure to support smart growth, capital improvements for transit facilities, and operating support for local shuttle and circulator transit routes. No more than 30 percent of TransNet funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects are expected to be used for local street and road maintenance.
On January 5, 2026, SANDAG provided the member agencies with an updated TransNet Revenue Forecast - Local Street Improvement Program for fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31 (Attachment 1), which are conservative estimates for planning purposes. The fiscal year 2026-27 projected revenue is currently estimated to be $9,856,000 with an approximate $250,000 increase in revenue for each following year.
A summary of the 5-Year TransNet Allocation and the City projects currently programmed for TransNet funding are shown on Attachment 2. There are no new TransNet funded projects categories proposed for addition in the 2027 RTIP Program of Projects. Appropriations of funds are not requested at this time – appropriation of the funds for these projects were part of the approval process for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which was adopted by the City Council on May 19, 2026. Amounts shown for future fiscal years are estimated and will be revised in the future as revenues and specific projects are identified for those respective years.
The following are the major projects that will be included for TransNet funding in fiscal year 2026-27.

CHV99: Anita St and Industrial Blvd Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements (STL0482) Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED) and Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) funds for the design of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and curb ramps, signage, striping, landscaping, and replacing and/or improving existing pavement.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under 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
The proposed program reflects revenue projections and projects for fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31 and results in no current-year fiscal impact.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact and appropriation for these projects were considered as part of the fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which was adopted by the City Council on May 19, 2026. Amounts shown for future fiscal years are estimated and will be revised in the future as revenues and specific projects are identified for those respective years.
Completed projects will require routine maintenance, which will be incorporated into the Public Works routine maintenance program and funded annually through the department’s operating budget.

ITEM TITLE
Housing Authority & City Housing Funding: Approve a Funding Commitment of up to $4,000,000 for the Park Hill UMC Development
Report Number: 26-0217
Location: 545 East Naples Street
Department: Housing and Homeless Services
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice: The funding action has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The Project itself meets all requirements set forth in California Government Code Section 65913.16(c). No further review under CEQA is required.
This item was continued from the May 19, 2026 meeting.
Recommended Action
Adopt the following resolutions:
A. Chula Vista Housing Authority resolution authorizing a commitment of up to $3,000,000 in Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund funds for the construction of an affordable housing development to be located at 545 East Naples Street; and B. City of Chula Vista resolution authorizing a commitment of up to $1,000,000, less $25,000 for City staff administrative costs, in Local Housing Trust Fund funds for the construction of an affordable housing development to be located at 545 East Naples Street. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista (“City”) and Chula Vista Housing Authority (“Housing Authority”) issued a Notice of Funding Availability for new construction of affordable housing, with a combined available total of $4,000,000 (less $25,000 for administrative costs). After interviews with applicants and a thorough review of submitted materials, City staff recommend that the funds be awarded to the Project, a proposed 68-unit development to be developed by Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation.
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 2, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 2
On May 19, 2026 the City Council continued this item, requesting staff further address community feedback related to the Project design to adequately mitigate soil and drainage concerns, privacy concerns, and concerns regarding the site’s parking configuration. The draft Resolutions have been updated to include a condition to address these concerns.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The funding action has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that it is exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that under the general rule, CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Project that would receive these funds has been determined to meet all the requirements California Government Code Section 65913.16(c), and, therefore, is a ministerial project pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15268. Therefore, no further review under CEQA is required.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
On Thursday, May 14, 2026, Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation (Wakeland) walked door-todoor within 500 feet of the Project site. They met with neighbors and provided a one-page overview of the Project, reference Attachment 1, and notified them of the funding request being considered by the Housing Authority and City Council. They also provided contact information for residents to follow up with any questions or concerns. The focus of the effort was primarily informational in nature, although they welcomed feedback and input from neighbors. This method has been deployed with other Wakeland projects to establish early relationships with residents, particularly when a project will not go through other discretionary actions.
On May 19, 2026, City Council considered the approval of funding under Item 8.2. Staff provided a presentation which provided a conceptual rendering and site plan, reference Attachment 2, and further described that the Project is eligible for streamlined ministerial approvals under Senate Bill 4 (SB4), Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act, therefore the loan approvals would be the only discretionary item related to the Project, and without the loan approval the Project may still move forward ministerially.
Several residents were in attendance that evening, and three households voiced concerns about soil and drainage, privacy, and parking configuration on the preliminary site design. In addition, written communication, Attachment 3 was provided.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On March 25, 2026, the Housing and Homeless Advisory Commission voted 3-0 to recommend that City Council adopt the proposed funding action.
DISCUSSION
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
The City and Housing Authority have a cumulative total of $4,000,000, less $25,000 for administrative expenses, available to issue to a project, of which $3,000,000 belongs to the Authority’s Low- and ModerateIncome Housing Asset (“Low-Mod”) fund, which is a legacy of the redevelopment era in Chula Vista. LowMod funds accumulate from repayments of existing loans made to affordable projects. Under state
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 2, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 3
redevelopment law, when the Low-Mod fund balance exceeds a certain amount, a portion of it must be recommitted to new housing developments. The $3,000,000 must be committed by the end of the current fiscal year (June 30, 2026).
The remaining $1,000,000 comes from the City’s Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF), a fund established in 2024 to take advantage of a state matching grant program of the same name. The City deposited $500,000 to the LHTF from its inclusionary housing fund. On August 27, 2025, the City was awarded a matching grant of $500,000 by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The $500,000 includes $25,000 that the City can spend on staff time and other eligible expenses associated with administering the funds.
The City and Housing Authority NOFA opened on November 7, 2025. Submittals were due January 15, 2026, giving applicants over two (2) months to identify sites and prepare materials. Two (2) submittals were received: one (1) from Wakeland for a 68-unit project at 545 E. Naples Street (the “Project”), which is being recommended for funding, and one (1) from Eden Housing, Inc. (Eden) for a 101-unit affordable project to be located at 750 E Street. In-person presentations and interviews with the applicants were held on February 5, 2026. A panel comprised of staff members from the City’s Housing and Homeless Services and Finance Departments reviewed the submittals and presentations.
To be considered valid, submittals had to meet a set of threshold criteria for consideration. These criteria included basic requirements, such as that the applications be complete, meet minimum affordability requirements, and that the applicants owned or were under contract to acquire the proposed location.
Projects that met the threshold criteria were then scored according to various metrics, which broadly encompassed the following factors:
Number of affordable units and depth of affordability; Locational factors (school quality, distance to grocery stores and other amenities, etc.); Readiness for development, including the level of approvals needed for planning entitlements and competitiveness for other funding sources to complete project financing; and Developer experience and overall submittal quality.
The Project
The Project is located on a site owned by the Park Hill Methodist Church, currently being used as a baseball field. It is directly across the street from Greg Rogers Elementary School and Greg Rogers Park, and less than a half mile to Sunbow Park, as depicted in Figure 1. It is located in Council District 4 (it should be noted, the Project also borders Districts 2 and 3) between the I-805 freeway and Telegraph Canyon Road. It is one block away from a bus stop, Route 704, whose route travels from the Sharp Hospital and medical offices in Sunbow through downtown Chula Vista to the E Street Trolley Station.
The proposed project is 68 units, with 67 restricted affordable units and one (1) exempt manager’s unit.
There will be a range of unit sizes, from studios to 1, 2, and 3-bedrooms. All units will serve low-income families, with no special needs’ populations currently designated. The preliminary design concept shows 73 parking spaces (one space per household, plus additional spaces for staff, guests, and ADA stalls).

Because the property is owned by a faith-based institution, it qualifies for streamlined approvals under a state law known as SB4 (California Government Code Section 65913.16). It would also qualify for a density bonus under State Density Bonus Law, which allows for modification of certain development standards.
The proposed unit mix, subject to change, is provided in Table 1.

Strengths of this proposal include the following:
The project is located in a well-resourced neighborhood that does not already have a concentration of affordable housing. It would be a highly desirable location for working families with children, on a site that under its current zoning would likely otherwise only be able to accommodate a much smaller cluster of single-family homes.
The low-profile design is appropriate for the location, with care taken to provide buffers between itself and the adjacent single-family neighborhood, (reference an initial conceptual elevation in Figure 2, below). The building’s preliminary design orients the bulk of its massing towards Greg Rogers Elementary School, away from adjacent homes.
The Project can obtain land use approvals by right, without need for design review or discretionary hearings.
The Project is being designed with sustainable and energy-efficient design principles in in mind, including all-electric design, solar panels, and drought-tolerant landscaping, in order to both promote sustainability and reduce ongoing operating costs.
The City has worked with Wakeland on a number of previous developments and has a strong working relationship with the organization. Despite Eden being a larger organization statewide, Wakeland demonstrated a firmer understanding of the local land use requirements and overall regulatory and financial context for its proposal, and staff has confidence in Wakeland’s local network of contractors to deliver high-quality projects.
The City/Authority’s financial contribution would cover a little more than seven percent (7%) of the Project’s estimated total development cost of $53,795,340. The Project will likely face challenges in assembling its remaining financing, as both Low Income Housing Tax Credits, administered by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC), and other funding programs administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) are expected to be highly competitive amidst a reduced state budget in the coming years. The City/Authority funding commitment would include a deadline of two (2) years, plus a one-year extension at the City Manager’s discretion, to secure all its funding and be prepared to start construction; if the Project has not reached this milestone by the deadline, City Council and the Authority would need to authorize additional extensions, or choose to reprogram the funds to another project.
The Project’s attributes are still preliminary in nature and subject to revision. While staff will seek City Council and Authority approval for major changes to the Project’s design, unit affordability mix, or other features, the proposal will continue to be adjusted and refined as it moves forward.
Wakeland has received the feedback from neighbors regarding the Project, and has committed to working closely with its architect to design the Project so as to address or mitigate their concerns. With regards to drainage, the Project will require a grading permit, which will be reviewed and approved by civil engineers

with the Land Development division of the City’s Development Services Department. The grading and improvement work will comply with the City’s stormwater regulations and should resolve any current issues at the site with regards to stormwater runoff or drainage. With regards to concerns about parking and privacy, Wakeland is exploring a range of potential interventions to minimize light pollution, noise, parking safety, and visual impacts of the development. These interventions may include the following:
trees, bushes, and other landscaping;
fences or other screening to promote privacy;
strategic window placement to minimize line-of-sight intrusion; wheelstops and other barriers to prevent movement of vehicles outside the property lines; parking configurations that minimize the noise and light impacts of moving cars.
Because the Project is still in the preliminary stages, Wakeland is still exploring all possible solutions with its design team. City staff will engage with Wakeland on an ongoing basis to evaluate proposed mitigation plans. Disbursement of the loan funds shall be made contingent upon the City Manager / Housing Authority Director’s final approval of the Project’s design with regard to the aforementioned concerns.
Figure 2: Conceptual Elevation
Conclusion
Based upon community feedback and Council direction on May 19, 2026, an additional condition on the disbursement of funds has been added to the approving Resolutions that the Housing Authority and City shall not disburse loan funds until Wakeland has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Housing Authority Director/City Manager that the Project has satisfactorily mitigated privacy, parking, and drainage concerns for properties abutting the Project.
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 2, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 7
Since the meeting on May 19, 2026, Wakeland has been reviewing options to address these concerns such as additional landscape, adjustments in window placement, and other ways to address community design concerns.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council / Housing Authority 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 Housing Authority/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 is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
Chula Vista Housing Authority
The Authority’s Low-Mod funds for this action were appropriated via Housing Authority Resolution No. 2025-005, adopted on June 10, 2025.
City of Chula Vista
Acceptance of the $500,000 grant portion will come from HCD and will completely offset project costs. The $500,000 local match was previously appropriated from the Housing Inclusionary fund on May 21, 2024, via Resolution No. 2024-102.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Loan repayments will be deposited into their respective accounts and redeployed into new affordable housing projects and programs. There are no other long-term fiscal impacts.

Image 2 is a picture taken from the backyard of one of the properƟes bordering the north side of the planned community. The red line indicates the esƟmated placement of the parking spots based on the planned site map. This photo demonstrates that cars parked in these spots as designed will emit light into the back yards of these homes. The current site plan has 5 small to medium trees placed to provide privacy for the 14 parking spaces facing north. However, this picture demonstrates that this does not adequately miƟgate light from headlights.
Another concern for the safety of the residents at boƩom of the structure is that the site plan does not account for any cars that may roll beyond the parking space. If a vehicle were to drive through the parking space, it would accelerate down this slope and into the exisƟng homes.

Another concern for homes to the north of the property is that any overhead lighƟng planned for the parking lot will spill over into the neighboring homes.

RE: Park Hill affordable housing funding – Please Approve! Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
My name is Claudia Flores and I am resident of Los Vecinos an affordable community here in Chula Vista that is owned and operated by Wakeland Housing.
I’m writing to share how affordable housing has made a difference in my life and urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing development that Wakeland Housing proposes to build at 545 East Naples Street.
The problem we faced prior to moving to Los Vecinos was very expensive rents and sacrificing time with my family to have one more job for extra income.
Since we have lived here, It has been a change for the better, because the lower cost helps us in this economy and so I can pay for a course at school to prepare for a better future while still being able to work and spend time with my family.
It also helps that we have resident services on site to help me with medical applications, help for programs that benefit my family and provides us with services such as backpacks in school season.
We like that there are different things to help us like the painting classes, the walk that helps me when I'm stressed, plus the motivation that Isabel gives me is always helpful.
It’s important to have affordable housing because there are many families that use this help, so that they do not sacrifice so much time being away from their families and be able like me, to get an education and provide a better future for our children.
We are very grateful to have this kind of aid.
From my experience with Wakeland, I believe the Park Hill affordable housing development will be a welcome addition to the City of Chula Vista because it will benefit both residents who live there and the wider community.

First, it will improve the neighborhood by turning extra land owned by the Church into an affordable housing community that will create stability and pathways to success for working families like mine.
Second, it ensures this location will continue to serve members of our community who may otherwise not be able to afford to live in this city that they love.
For these reasons, I urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing community.

RE: Park Hill affordable housing funding – Please Approve! Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
My name is Gabriela Sanchez and I am a resident of Lofts on Landis, an affordable community here in Chula Vista that is owned and operated by Wakeland Housing.
I’m writing to share how affordable housing has made a difference in my life and urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing development that Wakeland Housing proposes to build at 545 East Naples Street.
Affordable housing was a relief and a lot of help in my life. I am a single mother working hard to pay bills, but rent was taking my whole income. I was living in a one bathroom apartment that was full of mold. It was extremely bad that we had to sleep in the living room because my son had asthma. The owners did not want to repair it but I couldn’t move because the rent was higher in other places.
When I received the letter from the affordable housing, I was so thankful and happy because I knew that it was going to be easier for me to pay rent. I got, 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. My kids and I were so happy that we visited the construction site almost every day until it was finished.
Since the day we moved to Landis everything was easier and happier. I could spend more time with my kids.
Each of us has our own room. It was like a dream come true.
I know that building more affordable housing is very important for our community. Rent in California is very expensive and I am sure that like me, a lot of people are struggling with high rent. The rent takes a lot of your income and living in affordable communities gives you the opportunity to accomplish more in your life. Whether it be school, work or spending more time with your family, affordable housing is a blessing for a lot of families.
Thank you for the opportunity to have less stress and more time with my children.
From my experience with Wakeland, I believe the Park Hill affordable housing development will be a welcome addition to the City of Chula Vista because it will benefit both residents who live there and the wider community.

I’m writing to share how affordable housing has made a difference in my life and urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing development that Wakeland Housing proposes to build at 545 East Naples Street.
Desperation—the fear that I was going to end up homeless because rents were so expensive and I couldn't afford to pay them.
The peace of mind that comes from having a roof over my head—and being able to afford it—and being able to enjoy my children more.
I am able to enjoy the amenities of the apartments and the very beautiful surrounding area.
My children were able to enjoy a safe and lovely environment, including the schools and parks.
I really love this community; I enjoy taking advantage of the Resident Services—I do arts and crafts, and they bring in classes for us. The positive atmosphere helps me relax and feel at peace.
I am grateful for the well-being of other families who are going through the same things I went through back then—difficult times and extremely high rents.
From my experience with Wakeland, I believe the Park Hill affordable housing development will be a welcome addition to the City of Chula Vista because it will benefit both residents who live there and the wider community.
