Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommended Action
Council direct staff to continue to work with the Corky McMillin Companies to evaluate the merits of formation of a reimbursement agreement and to bring a formal recommendation on whether the Council should begin the proceedings for the formation of a district to the City Council meeting of September 12.

Body
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 agreement from the Corky McMillin Companies for the construction of the portion of Town Center Drive between Olympic Parkway and the Otay Ranch Mall property line.

After looking further at the circumstances surrounding the construction of Town Center Drive, meeting with the developer representatives, and reviewing the applicable sections of CVMC Chapter 15.50, City staff does not feel prepared to support district formation proceedings. Based on this, the developer has asked for additional time to provide further justification for the formation of a reimbursement. In order to allow appropriate time for this, staff recommends this matter be continued to the City Council hearing of September 12, 2018.
