SUMMARY
Under Chapter 15.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) a developer who believes that they have been required to construct or have constructed public improvements that benefit other property owners who have made no contribution to the costs of those improvements may request that City Council direct the City Manager to begin proceedings for the formation of a reimbursement district.
The City Clerk received a request (Attachment 1) for the formation of a reimbursement district from the Corky McMillin Companies (Developer) for the construction of the portion of Town Center Drive between Olympic Parkway and the Otay Ranch Mall property line. On July 18, 2017 the Developer requested the item be continued to allow them to submit a letter to include in the record of the public hearing (Attachment 2).
After looking further at the circumstances surrounding the construction of Town Center Drive and reviewing the applicable sections of CVMC Chapter 15.50 and State Regulations, City staff does not support beginning district formation proceedings.
