C) Additionally, for Improvement Area “D” only, an Ordinance authorizing the City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD No. 97 -2 Improvement Area “D”, to levy an annual special tax on taxable property located within the boundaries of Improvement Area “D”.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and 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 Re form 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 these actions. All costs of th ese annexations to CFD No 97 -2, including the designation of Improvement Area “D”, are borne by the developer and the on-going administration will be funded entirely by CFD No. 97-

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

The taxes are secure d by each property and neither the General Fund nor Development Services Fund has any obligation to provide funding.

Exempt Category

Special Cases
In some instances, an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class and be considered “Special Case”. The Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on an Assessor’s Parcel identified as Special Case shall be the sum of the Maximum Special Tax levies that may be levied on all Land Use Classes located on that Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD Administrator shall determine the allocation to each Land Use Class.

Annual Escalation of Maximum Special Tax
The Maximum Special Tax as shown in the tables above that may be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel in Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 14, shall be increased each Fiscal Year beginning in Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 and thereafter 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.

D. Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2026 -2027, and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall levy the Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 14, Special Tax at the rates established pursuant to steps 1 through 4 below so that the amount of the Special Tax levied equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:

Step 1: Determine the revenue which could be generated by Parcels assigned to Category I by multiplying the Building Square Footage for Parcels classified as Residential Parcels by the Maximum Special Tax per Building Square Foot for the Resource Monitoring Program, and Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parcels and adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the total acres for Parcels classified as Non -Residential Parcels by the Maximum Special Tax per Acre for the Resource Monitoring Program and Preserve Operations and Maintenance.

Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estima ted Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.

Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is less than the Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within Improvement Area C, classified as Category II.

The Special Tax for Parcels assigned to Category II shall be calculated as the lesser of:

The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City, less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 above, divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned to Category II, OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category II.

Step 4: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 and 3 is less than the Special Tax Liability, for Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within Improvement Area C classified

as Category III. The Special Tax for Parcels assigned the Category III shall be calculated as the lesser of:

The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City, less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 and 3 above, divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned to Category III, OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category III and within Improvement Area C.

However, in the event it is determined that the Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C includes delinquent Special Taxes from Parcel in Category III from the prior Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of delinquent taxes that arose from such Parcels and identify the owner(s). The amount of delinquent Special Taxes, if any, that arose from the applicable owner(s) shall first be divided by the total Category III Acres owned by such owner(s) and collected from the applicable owner(s) with the remaining portion of the Special Tax Liability not related to delinquent Special Taxes to be collected from all Parcels in Category III according to the procedure set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assesso r’s Parcel of Residential Property or Multi -Family Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent (10%) annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area C of the CFD.

E. Appeals
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.

The Maximum Special Tax as shown in the tables above that may be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel in Improvement Area D, shall be increased each Fiscal Year beginning in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and thereafter by a factor equal to the annual perce ntage 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.

D. Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax
During the Initial Maintenance Period
During the Initial Maintenance Period, the Special Tax shall be levied at a reduced level, as determined annually by the City, sufficient to fund a portion of the Special Tax Requirement and to establish and build the Long-Term Management Reserve Fund. The City shall determine the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax to be levied during the Initial Maintenance Period based on anticipated future maintenance costs and required reserve levels, provided the Special Tax during the Initial Maintenance Period shall not exceed the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be apportioned to Parcels in accordance with the methodology set forth in Steps 1 through 3 below, after applying such reduced levy.

Following the Initial Maintenance Period
Commencing in the first Fiscal Year following the Initial Maintenance Period, the Special Tax shall be levied up to the full amount necessary to fund the Special Tax Requirement and shall be apportioned to Parcels in accordance with Steps 1 through 3 below.

Step 1: Determine the maximum revenue that could be generated by applying the Maximum Special Tax rates set forth in Table 1 (as such rates may be annually escalated pursuant to Section C) to all Parcels.

Step 2: If the total revenue calculated in Step 1 is greater than the Special Tax Requirement for Improvement Area D, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that the total Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

Step 3: In the event that the Special Ta x Requirement for Improvement Area D includes amounts attributable to delinquent Special Taxes from the prior Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of such delinquent Special Taxes and may identify the Parcels and owners associated with such delinquencies. To the extent permitted by law, the City may levy and collect such delinquent amounts from the applicable Parcels and/or owners. Any remaining portion of the Special Tax Requirement shall be allocated and levied in accordance with Steps 1 through 2 above.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 11, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency to the RDA Agenda 6 Parcel be increased by mo re than ten percent (10%) annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area D of the CFD.

E. Appeals
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such errors. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such erro r still exists; such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three -member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding to all persons.

F. Manner of Collection
Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area D of the CFD or as otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.

G. Term of Special Tax
Taxable Property in Improvement Area D of the CFD shall remain subject to the Special Tax in perpetuity.

E. Appeals
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such errors. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.

Upon receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three -member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake review of any such appeal.

The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding to all persons.

F. Manner of Collection
Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area D of the CFD or as otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.

ISSUES RAISE AT EASTLAKE SELF-STORAGE PROJECT
COMMUNITY MEETING- May 15, 2017
(staff responses include both responses made at the community meeting as well as current responses based upon initial concerns raised)

Comment
Number

Comment Staff Response

1 Concern over traffic generation from proposed
self-storage facility; they would like there to be
some empirical data over actual trip generation
and question the SANDAG trip ge neration
model; concern that traffic is already a problem
and the proposed commercial facility will make
matters worse.

Applicant/staff-this is one of the least
impactive uses in terms of traffic
generation.

A traffic letter prepared by LOS
Engineering dated March 28, 2019,
indicated the projected ADT ’s of the
project are t oo l ow to warrant the
preparation of a Traffic Study.

2 Concern over noise and dust being generated
during the 18 months of construction -recall
what occurred during the construction of SR -
125
Project will be conditioned so that
appropriate Noise and Dust control
measures will be in place prior to
commencement of grading operations.
3 Concern over operational noise especially on
Saturdays; will hours of operation be restricted?

Applicant-they are not proposing a 24
hour operation. A Conditional Use Permit
has been prepared in or der to restrict the
hours of operation. Proposed hours of
operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Monday through Sunday,

3 Lack of p ublic notification -why was there no
formal notifications sent out indicating prior
proposal was no longer being considered?
There is no requirement to provide public
notification to indicate a particular
proposal is no longer being considered.

4 Public notification-request that they send future
notifications beyond 500 foot radius
The c urrent public notice requirement is
500 ft. radius notification for general
notification.

5 Why is the applicant proposing and the City
considering allowing another self -storage
facility when there are three others in the
vicinity?

A Market Study prepared by Haviland
Storage Services in 2019 for the proposed
project which confirmed there is a need
for additional self-storage in the area.

City of Chula Vista - City Council

6 Jose Martin-would like a copy of environmental
documentation when it is available. Indicated
there is wildli fe and gnatcatchers and other
species.

At the time of preparation of draft
Mitigation Negative Declaration (MND),
a public notice w as mailed to all
residents/property owners within 500 foot
radius of t he pro ject. The MND was
posted onto the City web site and a public
notice of availability for public review
period (September 16, 2019 through
October 16, 2019 ) was m ailed to
residents/property owners within 500 foot
radius of the project.

7. Doesn’t open space mean the site is lik e a
greenbelt area never to be developed.

Jeff (City) drew a distinction between two
types of open space. O nce type is like a
natural preserve/greenbelt area to remain
open/natural and undeveloped. In the case
of the subject parcel, while the General
Plan is open space the actual OS-3 district
on the parcel assumes that there would be
a limited amount of develop ment uses fo r
the property. Allowable uses within the
OS-3 zone include: parks and recreation
uses. Conditionally permitted u ses
include: fruit and vegetable stands tree
farming, and a horticulture garden. The
applicant is requesting a different OS
designation in order to allow self -storage
which they believe to be a low impact use
of the site.

8. Will the hours of operation be limited? Will
there be limitations of who can use/what can be
stored at the facility -as this could determine the
frequency of visits.

In response to concern these con cerns,
staff has required the applicant to submit a
request for a Conditional Use Permit.

Hours of operation are proposed for 7:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday thro ugh
Sunday.

9. Security concerns as this is a self -storage
facility
Security fencing will be provided around
the perimeter of the facility. Said fencing
must be reviewed and approved prior to
City i ssuance of bu ilding or la ndscape
permits.

5 4. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (“RMA”) for CFD No. 97-2 IA D is attached hereto as Appendix A and is incorporated by reference into this report.

The special tax will be levied and collected in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes levied by the County of San Diego and will be subject to the same penalties and procedures in the case of delinquency. However, the special tax may also be collected in such other manner and at such other time as may be necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 97-2 IA D, as permitted by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”).

All property within CFD No. 97-2 IA D, unless legally exempt or exempt pursuant to the RMA, shall be subject to the levy of the special tax to fund the authorized services, incidental expenses, and administrative costs of CFD No. 97-2 IA D. In accordance with Government Code Section 53325.3, the special tax is not a special assessment and need not be apportioned based on the benefit received by each parcel. Rather, the tax may be apportioned based on cost, service availability, or other reasonable criteria, provided it is not based on an ad valorem (value-based) methodology, in compliance with Article XIII A of the California Constitution.

In developing the RMA, Harris & Associates relied on data and assumptions including, but not limited to, building square footage, net taxable acreage, proposed land use classifications, and service area square footage. These inputs were provided by the City of Chula Vista, participating developers, bond counsel, and other members of the formation team.

Harris & Associates has not independently verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of any inaccuracies on the resulting RMA or on CFD No. 97-2 IA D’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

Report Number: 26-0107
Location: Citywide
Department: Engineering
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: This activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines . T herefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.

Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution to amend City Council Policy No. 576-16 “Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks”.

SUMMARY
The purpose of this Policy is to establish minimum criteria for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks between intersections or at intersections that are not controlled by stop signs or traffic signals and to provide guidance for crosswalk treatments based on roadway conditions.

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. Thus, no environmental review is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic Safety Commission, at their meeting on January 8, 2026, concurred with staff’s recommendation that the City Council amend City Council Policy 576-16 Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks (the “Policy”).

DISCUSSION
Existing Policy Background
City Council Policy No. 576-16 “Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks” was approved in April 1978 . At that time, the City of Chula Vista’s (“City”) population was less than 80,000 people, there were no disabled pedestrian access standards, curb ramps, or pedestrian-activated flashing beacon crossings, and the primary motivation in the field of traffic engineering was conveying the most passenger vehicles with minimal delay while accommodating pedestrians where they would minimally impact drivers. Since that time, the City has more than tripled in size, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Right of Way Access Guidelines (PROWAG) have become broadly accepted standards for pedestrian access, and focus has shifted from solely conveying passenger vehicles to providing infrastructure and traffic control measures for all transportation modes. This item represents a comprehensive update to the Policy to guide future crosswalk installation decisions.

The existing Policy provide s warrant criteria for the installation of an uncontrolled pedestrian crosswalk considering the following three primary factors:

1. Pedestrian Volume – How many pedestrians are observed crossing during the peak hour (any existing crossing with less than ten observed pedestrian crossings would warrant a crosswalk).

2. “General Conditions” – Site-specific conditions that support pedestrian crossing, such as helping with pedestrian navigation, directing pedestrians to shorter crossing distances, improving visibility of pedestrians, and limiting pedestrian exposure to vehicles.

3. Gap Time – How many gaps between vehicles are sufficiently large for a pedestrian to cross without conflicting with a passing vehicle in an average five-minute period.

Proposed Policy
The proposed Policy preserves the point -based criteria and some of the existing factors, but updates point weights and site conditions criteria to reflect current federal and state standards for pedestrian traffic control and right-of-way. The proposed Policy begins with screening criteria that are primarily relevant to mid-block conditions but can be appl ied to any uncontrolled crossing. The initial screening criteria determines whether further data gathering for the complete point-based study is warranted.

The initial screening criteria are:
 Do at least 5 pedestrians cross the location during the peak hour OR does the crossing serve a major pedestrian generator?
 Is the crossing at least 300 feet from the nearest pedestrian crossing?  Is the prevailing speed of vehicles less than 40 mph?  Is there vehicle stopping sight distance of at least 10 times the speed limit or will the visibility of pedestrians be improved?

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 11, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency to the RDA Agenda P a g e | 3
The proposed Policy then proceeds to the point-based criteria similar to the existing Policy, evaluating the following factors:

1. Pedestrian Volume – Similar to existing Policy

2. Pedestrian Setting/Generators – Whether the crossing is connecting pedestrian generators or dedicated pedestrian pathways to account for potential latent demand

3. General Factors – Site-specific factors of the crossing such as distance to the nearest controlled crossing, pedestrian visibility to motorists, proximity to a transit stop, the road being crossed is lower volume and speed

4. Gap Time – similar to existing Policy
In addition to the warrant criteria, the proposed Policy provides guidance for appropriate crossing treatments at a warranted crossing based on observed vehicular volume, crossing distance, and prevailing vehicular s peeds. Depending on the combination of these factors, crossing treatments may range from a marked crosswalk with standard signage to a crosswalk with signage and rectangular rapid flashing beacons or ultimately a pedestrian hybrid beacon crossing.

Conclusion
In summary, the updated criteria in the proposed Policy equip staff with updated standards for implementing pedestrian crossings and appropriate crossing treatments using established methods and modern criteria that efficiently determine how to address a request for an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.

The following items summarize the significant changes in the proposed amended Policy:
 The observed crossing pedestrian threshold for screening whether to study a potential crosswalk was halved;
 There is more consideration for adjacent land uses and site factors to account for latent pedestrian demand for the crossing;
 The points threshold for constructing a marked crosswalk was reduced by approximately nine percentage points relative to the existing Policy; and
 There is additional guidance for adding crosswalk enhancements.

Authorization of City Engineer or Designee
Consistent with Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 10.76.010 which authorized the City Engineer to establish, designate, and maintain crosswalks at intersections and other locations, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Engineer or designee to adopt and approve on behalf of the City future revisions to Table 2: Crosswalk Treatment Screening of the proposed Policy. This delegated authority would facilitate and expedite adoption of future amendments to the proposed Policy.

Public Outreach
In addition to presenting the proposed policy update to the Traffic Safety Commission on January 8, 2026, staff presented and answered questions regarding the proposed policy update to the Bike-Walk Chula Vista advisory group at their February 4, 2026 meeting. Staff did not receive requests to modify the draft policy as presented at either meeting.

Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks POLICY NUMBER: 576-16

Effective Date: TBD Last Revised Date: 04/25/1978 Status: Proposed Page: 1 of 7

I. BACKGROUND

Crosswalks function to connect pedestrians through a network of sidewalks. Crosswalks can be categorized as either marked or unmarked. Marked crosswalks are delineated by white or yellow painted markings placed on the pavement that extend from curb to curb. Crosswalks without white or yellow painted markings on the pavement are c onsidered unmarked crosswalks. Pedestrians have the right -of- way in both marked and unmarked crosswalks.

Marked crosswalks are typically placed at intersections where there is substantial conflict between pedestrians and vehicles, where there is signific ant pedestrian activity, and /or where traffic movements are controlled, such as all -way stop -controlled intersections and signalized intersections. Marked crosswalks can also serve the purpose of guiding pedestrians onto a preferred path, encouraging pedestrians to use a particular crossing such as in the use of uncontrolled midblock marked crosswalks.

To enhance pedestrian safety, California enacted the “Daylighting Law” via Assembly Bill 413 (AB 413) which became effective in January 2025. This new state law made it illegal to park within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, regardless of whether red curbs or signage is posted. California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22500 (n) provides that “[a] person shall not stop, park, or leave standing…” any vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalks or within 15 feet of any crosswalks with curb extension. It is important to note that the City of Chula Vista already had a similar law in place under Municipal Code Section 10.52.070.

The City’s original “Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks” Council Policy was adopted on April 25, 1978 per Council Resolution No. 9086. This latest revision to the City’s “Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks” policy was developed to provide a methodology that is representative of current best practices, but suited to the context of Chula Vista. In addition, this revised policy considers several fac tors and criteria described in the Federal Highway Administration’s ( FHWA) Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations which provides guidance on the use of various pedestrian-related safety measures, such as uncontrolled crossings, crosswalk visibility enhancements, pedestrian refuge islands, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, pedestrian hybrid beacons, and other measures.

Finally, this revision also aims to highlight key regulatory provisions related to crosswalks. These include recent updates to the CVC concerning parking restrictions near crosswalks, rules governing when pedestrians may legally cross outside of designated crosswalks, and requirements for e -scooter operators to stop, dismount, and walk their device across a roadway—such as at a crosswalk—when making a turn, in accordance with applicable pedestrian regulations under the CVC.

REGULATORY REFERENCES
The following is a list of CVC and Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) sections with their content briefly summarized that are relevant to this Policy (Note: the summarized content is for informational purposes only, refer to CVC or CVMC, as appropriate, for specific regulations):

 CVC 275 – Definition of “Crosswalk”
 CVC 21950 – Requires that drivers of vehicles (including but not limited to motor vehicles, bicycles [CVC 21200], and motorized scooters [CVC 21221]) yield to pedestrians and operate “the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.”
 CVC 21228 – When turning, e-scooter riders must stop, dismount and walk across roadway on foot, subject to restrictions on pedestrians per Chapter 5 of CVC.  CVC 21954 – Requires that pedestrians in roadways outside of marked crosswalks or unmarked crosswalks at intersections yield to vehicles; however, it allows for them to be present or cross if they are not placing themselves in immediate danger of a collision and are e xercising due care for their safety.
 CVC 22500 – “Daylighting Law”
 CVMC 10.08.080 – Definition of “Crosswalk”
 CVMC 10.52.070 – Prohibits parking vehicles in a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection

CITY COUNCIL POLICIES

POLICY NAME:

Installation of Pedestrian Crosswalks POLICY NUMBER: 576-16

Effective Date: TBD Last Revised Date: 04/25/1978 Status: Proposed Page: 3 of 7

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to establish minimum criteria for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks between intersections or at intersections that are not controlled by stop signs or traffic signals and to provide guidance for crosswalk treatments based on roadway conditions.

III. POLICY

Staff shall conduct a study pursuant to this policy in order to determine whether installation of a marked crosswalk is warranted at a given location. If a location being considered for installation of a marked crosswalk does not meet the criteria of this policy, the City Engineer or designee may exercise engineering judgment in determining whether a marked crosswalk is recommended or appropriate at that location.

STEP 1: BASIC SCREENING CRITERIA EVALUATION
The following basic screening criteria are applied to determine if a proposed crosswalk location is suitable for further evaluation:
 Pedestrian Demand: Is the pedestrian volume at the proposed crosswalk equal to 5 pedestrians 1 or more per hour during the peak pedestrian hour? If “No”, is the proposed cros swalk on a direct route to or from a pedestrian generator, such as a school, library, senior center, shopping center, park, or employment center?
 Distance to Nearest Controlled Crossing: Is the proposed crosswalk location farther than 300 feet from the nea rest controlled pedestrian crossing 2 (measured from the nearest edge of the proposed marked crosswalk to the closest edge of the controlled crossing)?  Approach Speed: Is the 85th percentile approach speed of the roadway that the proposed crosswalk would traverse less than 40 mph3?

1 The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) addresses mid -block crossings for signalization using 20 persons per hour demand as the lowest threshold for pedestrian hybrid beacon installation on higher speed roadways. However, existing volume of pedestrian demand is difficult to assess in the absence of a crossing; therefore, observed existing crossing dem and of five pedestrians per hour is appropriate for an unmarked and uncontrolled location for consideration of a marked crosswalk . 2 Per the CAMUTCD, midblock crossings should not be signalized if located within 300 feet of another traffic control signal unl ess the new signal will not restrict the progressive movement of traffic. 3 Per the CAMUTCD, midblock crosswalks shall not be installed if posted speed limits exceed 40 mph.

Effective Date: TBD Last Revised Date: 04/25/1978 Status: Proposed Page: 4 of 7

 Sight Distance: Does the proposed crosswalk location have a sight distance (in feet) that is greater than 10 times the posted speed limit (in mph) 4 or will the sight distance be improved prior to installation of the crosswalk?

STEP 2: POINT SYSTEM EVALUATION
If all basic screening criteria are satisfied (i.e., answered as “Yes”), then the proposed crosswalk shall be further evaluated based on a point system, utilizing the following four warrant categories:

1. Pedestrian Volume – Assigns points based on the number of pedestrian crossings in a peak hour at the proposed crosswalk

2. Pedestrian Setting/Generators – Assigns points based on where the proposed crosswalk is located relative to pedestrian paths and land uses

3. General Factors – Assigns points based on various factors such as distance to nearest controlled crossing and vehicle volume

4. Gap Time – Assigns points based on the average number of adequate gaps in vehicle traffic at the proposed crosswalk
Table 1 presents the point sy stem scoring evaluation, noting the point value to be awarded by each question within the warrant categories. The point system includes a combination of “Yes/No” questions and data-related questions.

In order for a location to satisfy the point system warr ant evaluation, a threshold of 24 points must be achieved, which equates to 48% of the possible 50 points.

STEP 3: CROSSWALK TREATMENT EVALUATION
If the proposed crossing location meets both the Basic Screening and Point System warrants, then the most appropriate crossing treatments to be installed with the marked crosswalk are evaluated. The crossing treatments are based on:

1. Roadway Average Daily Traffic (ADT);

2. Roadway Configuration; and

3. Roadway Speed Limit.

4 Per the CAMUTCD, sight distance in feet is 10 times the posted speed limit in miles per hour.

Table 2 presents thresholds for identifying supplemental crossing treatments to be considered with the installation of new marked crosswalks.

Generally, minimum treatments for an uncontrolled marked crosswalk include lighting with warning signage and associated pavement markings. As the roadway traffic volume, speed limit, and crossing distance increase, additional treatments become applicable. Intermediate treatments applicable to narrower, lower speed roads include additional warning signage, rectangular rap id flashing beacons, or traffic calming measures such as raised crosswalks or speed feedback signs. The widest roads with higher traffic volumes and speed limits would limit applicability of traffic calming measures and increase the likelihood that pedestrian hybrid beacons or traffic signals, which stop traffic for pedestrians, would be warranted.

In compliance with CVMC Section 10.76.010, the City Engineer or designee is authorized to adopt and approve on behalf of the City future amendments to Table 2 in this Policy. In addition, the installation of any supplemental traffic control devices at a proposed uncontrolled cr ossing meeting both the Basic Screening and Point System warrants will be as determined by the City Engineer or designee.

ITEM TITLE
Council Policy: Consider Revising, Renaming and Adopting Council Policy on Special Events Report Number: 26-0270
Location: No specific geographic location
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 revising Council Policy 102-07 City of Chula Vista Special Events Policy.

SUMMARY
On July 28, 2026, the City Council received a presentation regarding City Council referrals related to special events and associated policies. Following discussion, City Council directed staff to return with amendments to Council Policy 102-07, incorporating direction given at the meeting. The Council further directed that the proposed amendments return for consideration on August 11, 2026, with implementation occurring as soon as administratively feasible following Council action.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance wit h 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.

This determination is predicated on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. The future special events resulting from implementation of Council Policy 102-07 may 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
On July 28, 2026, the City Council received a presentation regarding multiple City Council referrals related to special events and associated policies (26-0240). Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to return with amendments to Council Policy 102 -07 incorporating direction given at the meeting, inclu ding but not limited to, clarifying that the City Manager's Office will serve as the central point of administrative coordination for Signature and Civic Events. The Council further directed that the proposed amendments return for consideration on August 1 1, 2026, with implementation occurring as soon as administratively feasible following Council action.

Council Policy 102-07 has been updated to reflect Council direction expanding the event category framework to improve consistency, transparency, resource planning, risk management, and alignment with City priorities. Additionally, the policy name has been updated, and roles and responsibilities along with general guidance have been expanded to provide clear guidance to internal and external stakeholders leading special events.

This policy recognizes eight categories of special events, expanding from the previous two identified in this policy

1. Signature - City-owned, City-produced flagship events funded primarily through City controlled funds to highlight Chula Vista’s cultural identity and community engagement priorities. Requires City Council designation by majority vote or 4/5 vote if new appropriations are required (per the standard budget amendment process).

2. Civic - City-led or coordinated events funded primarily through City controlled funds to support civic functions, public recognition, or intergovernmental partnerships.

3. Department - 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 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 - 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. Support in excess of $10,000 may be authorized at the discretion of the City Council. The City does not manage operations or planning.

6. Supported - 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.

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 11, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency to the RDA Agenda P a g e | 3

8. Permitted - 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.

Signature, Civic, Department and Partnered Events may be funded through a combination of City-controlled funds and donations.

At Council's direction, staff have prepared these changes for expedited implementation. Staff recommends that the policy become effective immediately upon adoption, with the exception of provisions affecting City Manager’s responsibilities at Signature events. Staff requests that Sign ature events be fully transitioned to the City Manager’s Office ef fective October 1, 2026, to provide staff adequate time to transition existing events and complete necessary planning arrangements under the updated policy. Staff recommends that Signature events held from adoption to October 1, 2026 be produced jointly with the Mayor’s Office. For this interim period , staff recommends that the City Manager’s Office be responsible for communications and providing additional day -of event support , with the Mayor’s Office maintaining responsibility for all other event logistics, including but not limited to scheduling of talent, vendor coordination, permits, décor, restroom, and audio/visual equipment.

In addition to the amendments to Council Policy 102 -07, staff will develop a companion Events Protocol Guidebook to provide clear guidance for City-hosted events involving elected officials . Th e forthcoming guidebook will establish standards of protocol to ensure consistency across events, activities, programs, and services. The guidebook will only apply to City-hosted events; for events not hosted by the City, the policy will serve as a guideline for preferred protocol.

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
There is no anticipated current-year fiscal impact as a result of the proposed changes to the policy. Staff will return to Council if additional appropriations are needed to support any changes proposed in this policy.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated ongoing fiscal impact as a result of the proposed changes to the policy. Funding for City led special events in subsequent fiscal years will be considered as part of the annual budget development process.

: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
E
very year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Ta
king place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To c
ast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

A
ction by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

F
ollowing council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

S
ubmitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

C
onference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

F
or a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 11, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency to the RDA Agenda alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 11, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency to the RDA Agenda Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

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
This item will have no impact on the general fund.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact.
