CARDROOMS

1. Cardroom Defined.

For the purpose of this Gaming Plan, a "cardroom" is defined to be any space, room, or enclosure furnished or equipped with a table or tables used or intended to be used, either exclusively or in conjunction with another business or activity, as a card table for the playing of cards and similar games, and the use of which is available to the public.

2. Licensing.

2.1 License Required to Operate Cardroom - Individual Licensees Must be 21 Years or Older.

Item 7.1 - Revised 7/28/2026
Section 3.6.2

Page 375 of 504 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
2 A license from the City issued pursuant to this Gaming Plan, is required for any person, group of persons, partnership, corporation, or any other entity or organization (each a "Person" hereinafter] to engage in or carry on, or to maintain or conduct, or cause to be engaged in, carried on, maintained or conducted, any cardroom in the City. Any such activity conducted without such a license, or otherwise in non-compliance with the terms of this Gaming Plan, the Gaming Code, or any and all other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations shall be unlawful. No license shall be issued to any individual Person under the age of twenty-one years.

2.2 Number of Licenses Permitted - Existing Licenses.

The number of licenses authorized to be issued or held, in the aggregate, under the provisions of this Gaming Plan shall be limited, based upon the population of the City according to the certified determination thereof by the state department of finance. All such licenses shall be issued and held in accordance with the provisions of this Gaming Plan; provided, however, any Person holding a license or licenses to conduct cardroom operation upon the effective date of this Gaming Plan may continue to hold such license or licenses subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. For purposes of determining the number of licenses which are authorized to be issued by the City hereunder, any two licenses which are "consolidated" pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof shall still be treated as being two separate licenses counted against the total number authorized under state law, and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits, and restrictions as if the licenses were held separately, both under state law and the terms of this Gaming Plan.

2.3 Two Types of Gaming Classifications.

2.3.1 In General. There shall be two types of cardroom licenses: Category I and Category II. The characteristics, rights, obligations and limitations attributable, respectively, to a Category I or Category II licenses are set forth throughout this Gaming Plan. Subject to all such provisions, in general,
(a) a Category I license shall permit the playing of all games available for licensure through the Office of the Attorney General, except games involving "back-line" betting; and
(b) a Category II license shall permit the playing of all games permitted under a Category I license and shall also permit games involving back-line betting. "Backline" betting card games are card games which allow a player not seated at a cardroom table, but standing adjacent to the table, to bet on a hand being played by a player seated at that table. Subject to state and local law, multiple "back-line" betters may be allowed to participate in any one game.

2.3.2 All licenses issued by the City shall initially be Category I licenses. In order to obtain a Category II license, the applicant (a) must have continuously operated Item 7.1 - Revised 7/28/2026
Section 3.6.2

Page 376 of 504 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
3 a cardroom that plays Category I games for a period of three (3) years; and (b) must apply with the City and receive prior approval from the City for such conversion in accordance with the application procedures set forth in Section 2.4 hereof, below.

2.4 Application/Issuance Procedure.

2.4.1 In General. Any Person desiring a cardroom license must submit an application to the chief of police. The application shall be on a form issued by, or otherwise approved in advance by, the chief of police. Such application shall include, in addition to any other information required by the chief of police, (a) the true names and addresses of any and all Persons currently, or contemplated to have a "financial interest" in the cardroom operation proposed to be licensed; (b) the past criminal record, if any, of any and all such Persons; (c) the fingerprints of any and all such Persons; (d) the proposed location of the cardroom; and (e) a non-refundable fee, as presently designated, or as may in the future be amended, in the Master Fee Schedule, to cover the cost of processing the application and of any required investigation of the applicant. Upon the issuance of a cardroom license, the chief of police may authorize the refund of the investigation portion of the application fee to any Persons who were not subject to investigations.

2.4.2 Approval Required. Any and all proposed cardroom licensees must receive (a) prior written approval of the chief of police, which approval may be withheld in the sole discretion of the chief of police, (b) approval by the State of California Division of Gambling Control; and (c) the ratification of the City Council, which ratification may be withheld in the sole discretion of the City Council. Such approval and/or ratification may be conditioned as the acting parties deem appropriate, and may be based, but is not required to be based, entirely or in part on the assessment by the chief of police or, as applicable, the City Council, of the character of the proposed licensee, or on the opinion of the approving or ratifying entity, that there appears to be good cause why such Person should or should not operate a cardroom. Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event of a transfer directly caused by the death or divorce of a Person holding a financial interest in a license, the "prior approval" requirement, above, shall be amended to require that approval of the resulting transferee be obtained by no later than sixty (60) days following the death or divorce causing such transfer. The time limit may be extended provided the resulting transferee has submitted its application and such additional information as may have been requested with the licensing authorities in a timely fashion.

2.4.3 For purposes of this Section 2.4 and the Gaming Plan, the term "financial interest" shall mean any and all direct or indirect ownership, creditor or other interests, in a cardroom license, the cardroom business operated thereunder, the assets thereof, or the revenues generated thereby.

2.4.3.1 Such an interest shall include, without limitation, any and all interests held by building owners, landlords, tenants, equipment or fixtures owners, lessors or lessees, creditors, lenders or guarantors related in any way to the ownership, financing or operation of the cardroom; and (b) a parent, spouse, sibling or child of an Item 7.1 - Revised 7/28/2026
Section 3.6.2

Page 377 of 504 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
4 individual Person holding a direct, majority or controlling ownership interest in a license or cardroom shall also be deemed the holder of a "financial interest" for purposes of this Section and this Gaming Plan.

2.4.3.2 The City shall decide, in its sole discretion, whether a particular circumstance or transaction falls within the scope of the definition of a "financial interest" that requires submission of an application to the chief of police and approval by the Council for separate licensure.

2.4.4 Any new or revoked cardroom license otherwise qualified for issuance may be issued during the period of May 1 through June 30 following the availability or revocation date of such a license. After the expiration of this period no further licenses shall be issued until the following May 1 through June 30 period. In the event that there are applications in excess of the number of licenses available in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, a license may be issued to the most qualified of such applicants in accordance with a procedure established by the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall decide, in its sole discretion, as to whether to issue any cardroom license authorized hereunder, and whether or how to condition such an issuance; furthermore, the City reserves the right, for any reason whatsoever, to reject any and all applications for a cardroom license hereunder.

2.5 Transfers.

2.5.1 In General. Any license issued pursuant to this Gaming Plan, a cardroom operated thereunder, or any direct or indirect interest therein, may only be transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.5. Transfers governed by this section shall include, without limitation, any and all sales, leases, conveyances, assignments, grants, pledges, gifts, devises, donations and/or similar transfers by a Person of any or all of such Persons, direct or indirect, ownership interest in a license or cardroom operated thereunder, or "financial interest" in a license or cardroom operated thereunder, as such concept is defined in Section 2.4.3 hereof.

2.5.1.1 Such transfers shall include, without limitation, (a) a transfer of all or any shares by a shareholder in a corporate licensee; (b) the transfer of all or any partnership interest by a partner in a partnership licensee; (c) the transfer of all or any portion of a controlling shareholder or partnership interest in an entity which itself holds a direct or indirect ownership or financial interest in a license or cardroom; and (d) a transfer of a substantial portion of the assets of a Person holding a license or a cardroom operated thereunder.

2.5.1.2 Such transfers shall not include (a) corporate structure reorganization where the individuals involved in the ownership and their respective percentage interests do not change; (b) transfer of ownership interest for estate planning purposes where the trustee is the same as the current licensed owner; or (c) such other situation that is similar to those described above that the City deems to be immaterial.

ITEM TITLE
Surplus Land Declaration: Declare a Portion of City-Owned Property Surplus Land Report Number: 26-0234
Location: Rancho Robinhood Unit 3, Open Space District
Department: City Manager
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required.

Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution declaring City-owned property “Surplus Land” under California Government Code Section 54221(b)(1).

SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista (“City”) has been working with the property owners at 372 Corral Court to address an existing encroachment onto City property. To allow the greatest flexibility in resolving the encroachment, the City must first declare the affected property as surplus land in accordance with Government Code Section 54221(b)(1). This item declares approximately 4,717 square feet of City-owned property as surplus land.

Following this action, City staff will enter into negotiations with property owners to identify an appropriate resolution.

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 it will 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.

Page 401 of 504 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 2
This determination is predicated on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. Future actions, such as the sale or ground lease of the property resulting from the declaration of surplus land, will require environmental review and preparation of appropriate documentation in accordance with applicable state requirements, including CEQA and applicable provisions of the City Municipal Code.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable

DISCUSSION
A review conducted in response to a recent permit request revealed that improvements associated with the property located at 372 Corral Court encroach onto adjacent City property. The affected City property is part of the Rancho Robinhood Unit 3, Open Space District, and a portion of the encroachment includes hardscape improvements.

Since identifying these conditions, staff has worked collaboratively with the property owner to evaluate potential resolutions that protect the City’s interests while addressing the existing encroachment. As part of the proposed resolution, the property owner will restore approximately 15,058 square feet of City property through habitat restoration.

Through this evaluation, staff determined that approximately 4,717 square feet of City-owned property currently occupied by hardscape improvements is not needed for current or anticipated City purposes. To provide the greatest flexibility in resolving the encroachment, staff recommends declaring this portion of the property as surplus land pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(b)(1). Declaring the property surplus does not obligate the City to sell or transfer the property; rather, it satisfies the statutory prerequisite that allows the City to consider disposition options. Any proposed disposition of the property will be subject to future City Council consideration and approval.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff have reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and have 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.).

DISCUSSION
Over the past year, City staff has received several City Council referrals regarding special events and associated policies. The following sections summarize the requested information, present staff's responses, and identify policy considerations related to each referral. This presentation is intended to facilitate City Council discussion, gather policy direction, and identify any additional items for staff evaluation. Following Council direction, staff will return with proposed policy updates, as appropriate.

Referrals
 On September 23, 2025, staff presented Council Policy 102-07, City of Chula Vista Special Event Sponsorship and Endorsement, to the City Council for discussion and received feedback regarding potential policy updates (Attachment 1).
 On April 14, 2026, Councilmember Preciado initiated a referral requesting guidance on the use of the City logo and City seal. The referral also requested clarification regarding Councilmember-hosted events and community meetings, including the allowable use of City budgets, staff resources, and equipment.
 On May 5, 2026, Councilmember Inzunza initiated a referral requesting a comprehensive accounting and policy review of City-hosted and City-sponsored civic events, including State of the City events, swearing-in ceremonies, and similar civic events. The referral requested information regarding event-related costs, staff time, reimbursements, pending reimbursement requests, vendors, invoices, contracts, sponsorships, donations, behested payments, in-kind contributions, funding sources, public purpose findings, and Mayor and City Council credit card or procurement card expenditures.

At a subsequent meeting, the requested reporting period was narrowed to November 2022 through the present. The requested information is provided in Attachment 2.  On May 5, 2026, Councilmember Preciado also requested a comprehensive accounting of the costs associated with holding the State of the City event off-site, including public and private expenditures, City costs, sponsorships, donations, and other related financial contributions (Attachment 2). The referral further requested that the City Attorney provide guidance regarding the legal, policy, and procedural considerations for determining the location of future State of the City events.

City Policies
Several existing City policies address the topics raised in these referrals. While no single policy governs all of the requested issues, the following policies provide the primary framework for staff's response:

1. Council Policy 102-07 City of Chula Vista Special Event Sponsorship and Endorsement Policy (Attachment 1)

2. Council Policy 270-01 Donations to the City Policy (Attachment 3)

3. Council Policy 100-01 City Identification Program: Use of Seal and Logo (Attachment 4) Staff is seeking City Council feedback on these policies based on the information presented and will return with recommended policy updates, as directed.

Special Events
The City's current Special Event Sponsorship and Endorsement Policy (Council Policy 102-07, adopted May 5, 2015) establishes the framework through which the City may sponsor or endorse special events held within the City. The policy is intended to support events that enhance community vitality, engagement, cultural celebration, and economic prosperity.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
Under the existing policy, events fall into two classifications:

1. Sponsored Events
Sponsored events are special events for which the City provides underwriting, significant staff support, and/or direct General Fund contributions. Sponsorship requires a majority vote of the City Council, or a 4/5 vote when a budget appropriation is needed. Sponsored events are typically largescale, high-impact public events that attract substantial attendance and provide a meaningful financial or promotional return to the City. Examples historically include HarborFest and the Starlight Parade.

The policy outlines the responsibilities of the City Manager’s Office, event coordinators, and Councilmembers serving as event “leaders,” including budget development, contracting, and fundraising as necessary.

2. Endorsed Events
Endorsed events are those in which the City provides limited staff support to help facilitate the event, at the discretion of the City Manager or designee. Endorsement is available to events sponsored by governmental agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofit partners that support City operations (e.g., Friends of the Library, Firefighters Foundation, PAL). Endorsement may also be granted by majority vote of the Council.

Endorsed events may use the City name and logo with prior approval. While Policy 102-07 provides a framework for sponsorship and endorsement decisions, it does not establish a comprehensive classification system for the wide variety of special events conducted today. As the number and diversity of events have increased, the existing two-category structure has become less effective for consistently assigning operational responsibilities, allocating City resources, evaluating community benefit, and aligning cost recovery practices.

While Policy 102-07 provides a framework for sponsorship and endorsement decisions, it does not establish a comprehensive category system for the wide variety of special events conducted today. As the number and diversity of events have increased, the existing two-category structure has become less effective for consistently assigning operational responsibilities, allocating City resources, evaluating community benefit, and aligning cost recovery practices.

Based on previous City Council feedback, staff is proposing an expanded event category framework to improve consistency, transparency, resource planning, risk management, and alignment with City priorities.

The proposed framework identifies eight event categories, each with clearly defined levels of City involvement and responsibility.

1. Signature Events - City-owned, City-produced flagship events with full funding responsibility and operational control by the City. Requires City Council designation by majority vote or 4/5 vote if new appropriations are needed (per the standard budget amendment process). These events highlight Chula Vista’s cultural identity and community engagement priorities.

2. Civic Events - City-led or coordinated events funded primarily through City controlled funds to support civic functions, public recognition, or intergovernmental partnerships. City funding may be supplemented by donations.

3. Department Events - Events produced independently by City departments, through the City Manager’s office, to support departmental missions or programs. Departments plan, staff, fund, and brand these events using approved logos.

4. Partnered Events - Events collaboratively planned, funded, and delivered by the City and one or more external organizations through a shared commitment of resources, responsibilities, and decision-making. Partnered Events advance a mutually beneficial public purpose that aligns with the City’s strategic priorities and the partner organization’s mission.

5. Sponsored Events - Externally produced events that provide community benefit and may receive up to $10,000 in City financial support at the discretion of the City Manager. The City does not manage operations or planning.

6. Supported Events - Externally produced events that may receive limited in-kind City services or logistical assistance, based on staff availability and City resource capacity.

7. Endorsed Events - Externally produced and funded events that receive formal City recognition only—no financial, staff, or operational support. May receive proclamations or letters of support.

8. Permitted Events - Events requiring a City-issued permit to occur on public property or within the public right of way. Receiving a permit does not constitute sponsorship or support. Event organizers are responsible for compliance with codes, safety requirements, insurance, and operations.

Staff also recommends clarifying in Policy 102-07 that Sponsored, Supported, and Endorsed events may take place outside the City.

A list of recurring Signature Events, Civic Events, and large Department Events, together with the proposed category for each event, is provided in Attachment 7. We will be seeking feedback on the proposed category each event has been assigned at the July 28 City Council meeting.

Special Events, including State of the City
A detailed accounting of special events, including State of the City, expenditures, funding sources, sponsorships, donations, behested payments, and other financial contributions responsive to City Council Referrals 3 and 4, is provided in Attachment 2.

Donation expenses in Attachment 2 consist of Donations/Sponsorships or Behested Payments/Sponsorships. A donation is a voluntary contribution of money, goods, or services made directly by a donor to support a governmental, charitable, or civic purpose without being requested or solicited by a public official acting in their official capacity. In contrast, a behested payment is a payment made to a governmental agency or nonprofit organization at the request, suggestion, or solicitation of an elected official for a legislative, governmental, or charitable purpose. While behested payments are generally not considered campaign contributions or gifts under California law if they serve a legislative, governmental, or charitable purpose, they are subject to specific disclosure requirements under the Political Reform Act when applicable.

The primary distinction between the two is the involvement of the elected official: donations are initiated voluntarily by the donor, whereas behested payments are prompted by the request or encouragement of an elected official and may require public reporting.

Consistent with state law, City funds may only be spent for a valid public purpose regardless of the source. A valid public purpose exists if the expenditure serves a direct, legitimate public purpose rather than benefiting a private individual or entity. The primary test is whether the funds support the City's mission, with courts generally deferring to the legislative body if a rational basis for the public benefit is documented. An expense is for a valid public purpose if it informs residents, promotes civic engagement, or supports economic development.

Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.04.020 provides that regular meetings must be held in Council Chambers. Generally, the State of the City report has been agendized as a special meeting, which does not need to be held in Council Chambers. Accordingly, the City has the ability to hold the State of the City report at locations other than Council Chambers so long as the meeting complies with applicable law, including the Brown Act.

Council Community Events
The City Council requested guidance regarding Councilmember-hosted events and community meetings, including the appropriate use of City funding, staff resources, equipment, branding, and communications support. The City Attorney’s Office will provide guidance related to these issues in a forthcoming memorandum.

Use of the City Logo and City Seal
Staff was directed to provide guidance regarding the use of the City logo and City seal. Existing administrative practices, legal considerations, and proposed policy clarifications are summarized below for City Council discussion.

Adopted on August 6, 1985, and revised on September 23, 2025, the City Identification Program, Use of Seal and Logo (Policy No. 100-01) was established to ensure consistent use of the City Seal and Logo and to protect the integrity of these official identifiers (Attachment 4). To supplement the policy, the Office of Communications created a brand guide in April 2026 that outlines rules for color, spacing, and other visual elements when using the City Logo (Attachment 6).

Key elements of Policy 100-01 state that the Seal and Logo may not be altered in any manner. In addition, all proposed uses of the Logo require approval by the City Manager or their designee prior to implementation.

The City Seal serves as the official mark of the City and is used to authenticate and validate official documents, certifications, and ceremonial materials. Any exceptions to these purposes require a written request to the City Clerk and approval from the City Council or City Manager.

To maintain the integrity of the City Logo and Seal and establish a consistent City brand, an automated approval process will be implemented for all new uses of these marks. The City Manager’s Office will work with elected officials and departments to reproduce or replace any items in inventory that may be out of compliance.

Lastly, the Office of Communications is developing a variety of design options that pair the City Logo with elected officials’ names and titles for a range of public-facing uses, such as banners, pop-up canopies, and more.

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.

POLICY

CITY COUNCIL POLICIES
POLICY NAME: City Identification Program: Use of Seal
and Logo
POLICY NUMBER: 100-01
Effective Date: 08/06/1985 Last Revised Date: 09/23/2025 Status: Active Page: 1 of 3
I. BACKGROUND
On August 6, 1985, the City Council adopted a new City seal and a new City logo. On September 13, 2005, the City Council approved an acceptable alternative version of the City logo to accommodate horizontal layouts. These symbols of the City form the basis for a comprehensive identification program, which includes consistent use of the City’ s seal and logos. The identification program is intended to present a unified, positive impression that is readily recognizable.

Proper implementation of the City’ s identification program should eliminate uncoordinated or unauthorized representations of the City, such as various graphic symbols, designs, layouts, and colors.

A “Graphic Standards” handbook provides detailed information on the proper use of both versions of the logo. The City Manager or their designee will update the Graphic Standards handbook as needed to maintain the integrity of the City’ s identification program.

The City Seal is a symbol of the City's authority and integrity. Its use must be strictly controlled to maintain its sanctity and ensure it represents the official actions and interests of the City. By law, the City Seal is maintained by the City Clerk as part of the official duties and responsibilities of the office (California Government Code section 40801 and Chula Vista Charter section 502). The City Seal serves as an official mark of the city and is used to authenticate and validate official documents, such as resolutions, ordinances, contracts, and other legal and administrative documents.

The City Clerk’ s role in maintaining the seal ensures that it is used properly and consistently in accordance with the city's rules and legal requirements. By keeping the seal in their possession, the City Clerk ensures its security and proper use, and that itis not misused orforged. This responsibility is part of the City Clerk’ s broader role in maintaining public records and ensuring that the City’ s official documents are properly handled and archived.

II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the implementation of the City’ s identification program and consistent uses of the official logos and seal.

III. POLICY
The City Council establishes the following policy concerning all uses of the City’ s seal and logos:

GRAPHIC STANDARDS

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
City Logo
The logo is the visual manifestation of the City of Chula Vista’s marketing strategy. The purpose of the logo is to deliver a consistent, specific, and positive impression of the City through all communications to the public.

The City of Chula Vista implemented its logo in August, 1985. The symbol characterizes the natural elements that make Chula Vista unique. The sun radiates warmth in the mountainous regions of the east while ocean waves in the foreground capture the essence of Chula Vista’s scenic
bayfront.

The successful branding of the City of Chula Vista logo will be accomplished with the correct, consistent and uniform use of the City’s identity. All employees and vendors
developing collateral, signage and other materials must observe the graphic standards outlined in this handbook.

Strict adherence to the principles outlined in the following pages will ensure that the City’s image remains identifiable, unique and unadulterated.

These logo specifications are intended to be basic and, while not attempting to elaborate extensively on technical detail, they do offer sufficient information to prevent the incorrect use of the City logo.

Established August 1985:

The City of Chula Vista logo
The City logo will be the sole identifying symbol used on City stationery, signage, vehicles, and other collateral or items appropriate for City identification.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
The best possible representation of the City of Chula Vista logo must be achieved in order to maintain the consistency of visual identification.

The symbol is the artistically rendered component of the logo. The symbol should NEVER be used alone.

The logotype consists of the words "CITY OF" that follow the symbol when forming the City of Chula Vista signature.

The wordmark is the hand-rendered, letterforms that work together to communicate the city name, "CHULA VISTA."
The City of Chula Vista logotype and wordmark have both been specially kerned, meaning that the letterspacing has been adjusted manually for the best possible appearance.

No other fonts or letterforms can be substituted. Additionally, all three elements of the logo have been strategically placed in the space relative to one another.

Primary Logo

PRIMARY LOGO
The City of Chula Vista logo can be thought of as a "leave behind" in the memory bank of the viewer, as it is the first real visual impression that is made. It helps to brand the City's identity by providing an image to help viewers
associate with the name.

This unique graphic expression of individuality is to the City what a handwritten signature is to a person. Therefore, the logo must always be consistent in appearance and color.

ALTERNATIVE HORIZONTAL LOGO
The primary logo should be used in most cases, however, there will be times when the imprint area will lend best to the horizontal logo. When the size of the primary logo is compromised because it would be proportionally reduced
too much in order to fit within the space (and still adhere to clear space), it is permissable to use the alternative horizontal logo.

The same basic graphic standards apply to the horizontal logo as the primary logo.

Alternative Horizontal Logo

Page 442 of 504 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council
July 28, 2026 Post City Council Agenda

EXAMPLES
Primary Logo (USED CORRECTLY) Alternative Horizontal Logo (USED CORRECTLY) NEVER resize any of the elements in the logo.

NEVER re-typeset the logotype or wordmark in a different font.

NEVER use the symbol alone.

NEVER rearrange the elements in the logo.

NEVER leave off an element of the logo.

Logo Colors
Color provides a powerful means of visual recognition.

The City of Chula Vista has chosen one specific PMS
(Pantone Matching System) color: 294. Other colors
can also be used to provide flexibility.

If the color is not PMS 294, the chosen color must
blend well into the specific layout or match the color
scheme of each piece.

Navy Pantone 294
Black
Green Pantone 349
Background Colors
As with the City of Chula Vista signature, the background color should also be treated with a great deal of visual respect, as it assists in providing a clean, consistent space in which the signature is to be placed. When all colors are successfully applied together, the City's graphic identity creates more impact. Background colors should always
compliment the signature, but never compete.

It is important that the City of Chula Vista signature be placed on a background color that allows it to stand out.

In order to command attention, the City of Chula Vista
signature must always have a certain amount of clear space around it. It should not be crowded or overwhelmed by
other elements competing for the space. If placed within a cluttered environment, the logo's message risks becoming obscured and insignificant. As a general rule, make the amount of clear space even larger when possible.

The required minimum clear space can be measured in
relation to the height of the symbol "x". The clear space around the City of Chula Vista signature requires at least 1/2x of space surrounding the entire signature: top and bottom; left and right.

The mark reflects movement and balance, symbolizing growth, inclusivity, and Chula Vista’s role as a gateway between land, bay, and people.

One-color and reversed versions are provided for use on darker backgrounds, photography, or situations where color reproduction is limited.

Consistent and correct use of the logo helps ensure a unified and recognizable visual identity for the City of Chula Vista across all communications.

The primary color palette reflects Chula Vista’s identity — coastal, vibrant, and community-driven. These core colors represent the city’s natural environment, civic leadership, and cultural energy. They provide a consistent visual foundation across all communications and should be used as the dominant colors in city materials.

For external-facing materials, 85% Charcoal Gray should be used as the primary text color. Black may be used when additional contrast is needed to ensure accessibility or when text appears on darker or complex backgrounds.

For internal documents (such as agendas, meeting minutes, presentations, and working materials), black text may be used as the default for clarity and ease of production.

7 Color Origins
From Place to Palette
Chula Vista’s color palette is rooted in the City’s natural environment, cultural energy, and coastal setting. Colors were developed through a visual exploration of local landscapes, including the bayfront, wetlands, foothills, and community life, translating these place-based references into a flexible and recognizable civic color system.

The color palette was developed through a place-based design process. Reference photography of Chula Vista’s natural and cultural environments—such as the bayfront, wetlands, foothills, parks, sunsets, and community events—was gathered and
analyzed to identify recurring hues and tonal relationships.

Key colors were sampled from these images and refined for consistency, contrast, and accessibility across digital, print, and environmental applications. The final palette balances civic reliability with community warmth, ensuring flexibility for City departments while maintaining a cohesive visual identity anchored by City Blue.

8 Primary colors should be used prominently in layouts to establish a clear and recognizable brand presence. Accent colors should be used sparingly to draw attention to key elements such as icons, callouts, or important information. In most layouts, one accent color is recommended to maintain clarity and visual balance.

Neutral colors help maintain clarity and readability. Charcoal Gray should be used for most typography, while white should remain the primary background color across City communications.

Light tints of Foothill Sagebrush may be used selectively for background panels or section dividers when subtle visual separation is needed. Black may be used when additional contrast is required.

Lighter and darker shades of primary and secondary colors can be achieved by adjusting brightness or value when higher contrast or softer backgrounds are needed.

Avoid using too many colors within a single layout.

Primary and secondary colors may be paired to create visual interest. However, colors with similar tone and value should be used carefully, as they can compete and reduce visual clarity when placed directly next to each other.

Avoid using these combinations as primary pairings for

Anchor layouts with City Blue
City Blue is the primary anchor color for the City of Chula Vista and should be used prominently in layouts to establish a strong and recognizable brand presence.

Use one primary color per layout
Select a single primary color to anchor the design. Other colors from the palette should be used as supporting
accents rather than competing focal points.

Use accent colors sparingly
Accent colors should highlight key information, icons, or calls to action without overwhelming the layout.

Prioritize readability
Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background
colors. Neutral backgrounds and dark text help maintain clarity and accessibility.

10 Color Contrast Requirements
The City of Chula Vista is committed to ensuring that all communications are accessible to the public. Materials should follow accessibility best practices to support individuals with visual, cognitive, and physical disabilities.

Designers and staff should prioritize clarity, legibility, and sufficient contrast when creating print and digital materials.

Color Contrast
Text and background colors must provide sufficient contrast to ensure readability. When using color combinations, ensure that content remains clear for individuals with low vision or color vision deficiencies.

As a general guideline:
• Use dark text on light backgrounds whenever possible. • Avoid placing text on busy images or low-contrast
backgrounds.
• Use accent colors carefully so that they do not reduce readability.
• White backgrounds with Charcoal Gray or black text are recommended for most City communications.
• Text should meet a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text.

An ADA accessibility tool, such as webaim.org/resources/ contrastchecker, should be consulted before finalizing any design to ensure necessary contrast and compliance.

Gradients may be used sparingly to introduce depth and visual interest within City communications. The City Blue gradient should be used as the primary gradient treatment, reinforcing the City’s visual identity. Supporting gradients may combine complementary colors from the approved palette. Gradients should remain simple and accessible, avoiding overly complex transitions or combinations that reduce readability.

13 Typography
The City of Chula Vista typography system is composed of three complementary typefaces that support clarity, accessibility, and visual consistency. Together, these fonts create a flexible hierarchy for headlines, subheads, and body copy across all city communications.

Source Sans 3 is the preferred typeface for headlines. Its clean, contemporary sans-serif design provides clarity, approachability, and strong visual presence across City of Chula Vista
communications. Designed for versatility across both print and digital platforms, Source Sans 3 supports a modern, accessible civic voice. Source Sans 3 is an open-source typeface available through Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts.

Roboto is the primary typeface for body copy and digital applications. Designed for readability across screen sizes, it supports clear and accessible communication in both print and web-based City of Chula Vista materials. Roboto is an open-source typeface available through Google Fonts.

Libre Baskerville is used as a supporting typeface for emphasis, long-form content, or editorial applications, as well as for ceremonial and legal documents. Its classic serif design adds contrast and warmth while maintaining readability, making it suitable for select headlines, pull quotes, or formal publications.

It is used selectively for ceremonial emphasis—such as titles, introductory lines, names, or signatures—and should remain limited and intentional to preserve clarity and dignity.

Libre Baskerville is a supporting serif typeface used across City communications to add contrast, emphasis, and hierarchy. In ceremonial and legal documents, it serves as the primary typeface for body text and formal language.

16 The visual direction for photography is rooted in the essence of the City of Chula Vista, our connection to the bay, valleys and foothills, our diverse neighborhoods, and our vibrant community life. While the range of subject matter is broad, the goal is to maintain a consistent, high-quality representation of the City that feels authentic, welcoming, and civic-forward.

Photography should emphasize clarity, warmth, and a sense of place.

Images should feel clean, approachable, and naturally colorful, with attention to spacing, depth, and a clear focal point.

Images should avoid visual clutter. Use a limited number of subjects in each frame, allowing the environment or activity to remain the focus. When people are included, they should appear in sincere, natural moments that reflect real interactions and lived experiences within the city. Avoid posed or overly styled scenes that do not reflect real life.

Whenever possible, photograph subjects within recognizable Chula Vista environments to reinforce a strong sense of place. Lighting should be even and natural, with subjects appearing open and approachable.

Event imagery should always feature a clear focal point that communicates the purpose and energy of the event. Avoid crowding multiple subjects or messages into a single image. Focus on moments of engagement, connection, and community participation.

Project and infrastructure images should feel optimistic and forwardlooking. Whenever possible, photograph projects during favorable lighting conditions and include people in the scene to create a human connection and sense of scale. Images should highlight color, context, and how the project supports everyday life in Chula Vista.
