SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista engaged Luth Research to conduct a countywide web-based survey to determine awareness and perceptions of Chula Vista assets and attractions from those living outside of the city. Information gathered from the survey will be used to inform marketing, communications and economic development efforts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that acceptance by the City Council of the Awareness and Perceptions Study is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 (b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because accepting the Study is an administrative activity of the government; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista selected Luth Research to conduct a web-based, countywide survey in early 2014 to gauge public opinion about Chula Vista. The survey was conducted with residents who do not live in Chula Vista and results are reported regionally and subregionally (North County Coastal, North County Inland, Central San Diego, East San Diego, South County). The survey asked respondents what they know about Chula Vista, its assets (Olympic Training Center, Chula Vista Marina, Otay Ranch Town Center, etc.), what don't they know, what are their attitudes and perceptions, when do they visit Chula Vista, what would entice them to visit, etc. The survey results will be used to help develop marketing messages for economic development, tourism, and regional marketing efforts.
