Dear Mayor McCann and Chula Vista City Council Members,
I am writing as a local resident to express my strong opposition to the city allocating $4 million in public funds to the proposed Park Hill UMC development at 545 E. Naples St.
While I recognize the broader need for regional housing solutions, this specific proposal introduces unacceptable risks to our neighborhood that the current plans fail to mitigate.
I urge the City Council to deny this funding due to several unresolved, critical issues:
Inadequate Infrastructure Feasibility/Capacity Studies: The existing local roads, stormwater drainage, and sewer networks were strictly engineered to accommodate low-density, single-family zoning. To date, there has been an absence of rigorous, independent impact studies to verify whether this legacy infrastructure can handle the projected population influx. Furthermore, the developer lacks data regarding the potential capital costs required to upgrade these systems to adequate capacity.
Allocating $4 million in public funds to a development without these critical baselines presents an unacceptable financial risk and potential waste of taxpayer resources.

Public Safety and Neighborhood Accessibility:
The proposed development introduces 68 new residential units while providing only 34 parking spaces. Given that the local average is two vehicles per household, this project will bring approximately 136 cars to the area, leaving a deficit of over 100 vehicles forced to compete for parking on existing residential streets. This severe overflow will significantly reduce visibility, creating dangerous blind spots for residents trying to safely exit their driveways and enter traffic.
Furthermore, Naples Street serves as a critical transit route for emergency vehicles traveling to the nearby medical center. The roadway is already heavily congested, and adding dozens of high-density units will severely exacerbate traffic delays, directly threatening the response times of emergency services. The surrounding infrastructure simply cannot safely accommodate this massive influx of residents and visitors, compromising both public safety and neighborhood accessibility.
Severe Drainage and Infrastructure Strain: Constructing a 68-unit high-density complex on the current church baseball field will significantly increase impervious surfaces. This creates severe stormwater runoff and drainage risks for the immediately adjacent single-family properties.
Intrusive Lack of Privacy: The extreme density and height proposed for this project directly abut long-standing single-family backyards. This creates an overwhelming invasion of privacy for surrounding homeowners.
Please vote NO on the $4 million funding commitment for the Park Hill UMC project.
Thank you for your time, leadership, and consideration of our neighborhood’s safety and quality of life.
Sincerely,
Shu Nay Tang
