SUMMARY
The Otay Ranch Village 2 Parks Agreement dated November 11, 2014, requires the Applicant to meet their neighborhood park obligations for the development, per Municipal Code 17.10, through the provision of turnkey parks.
One of these turnkey parks for Village 2 is identified as Park P-3, Montecito Park. The Park P-3 Park Master Plan was approved at City Council on January 27, 2015.
Baldwin and Sons, in conjunction with city staff, has obtained Requests for Proposals, interviewed four different design teams and selected one, DeLorenzo International, to enter into a three party agreement for the preparation of construction drawings and bid documents for this park.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed project was adequately covered in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report FSEIR 12-01. Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission approved the Park P-3 Park Master Plan on
March 20, 2014, prior to City Council approval.
DISCUSSION
On November 11, 2014 the City Council approved the Village 2 Parks Agreement by City Council resolution 2014-213. The agreement allows the Applicant, Baldwin and Sons, to develop turnkey neighborhood parks in lieu of paying park development fees per the parkland Development Ordinance, Chapter 17.10 of the Municipal Code.
The first neighborhood park in Village 2 required to be developed is Park P-3, Montecito Park. The Landscape Master Plan for Montecito Park was approved at City Council on January 27, 2015 by resolution 2014-213.
One of the conditions of the Parks Agreement was that the Applicant, in conjunction with the City, would solicit the landscape architecture and design work necessary for the construction of neighborhood parks through the same Request for Proposal process that would otherwise be used by the City to engage similar services.
Baldwin and Sons, in conjunction with City staff, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for landscape architectural consultants and subsequently interviewed the four design teams who best met the criteria listed in the RFP. The consultant selected was DeLorenzo International. In accordance with the Village 2 Parks Agreement, staff is recommending that the City of Chula Vista, Baldwin and Sons and DeLorenzo International enter into a three party agreement with a scope of work to provide construction drawings, bid documents, and observation functions during the park construction.
Baldwin and Sons and DeLorenzo International will also enter into a separate agreement with each other that includes details of design fees and payments for the design work.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Park P-3 will address strategic goals 2.1.3 (quality Master Plan Communities) and 3.1 (Healthy Community) by providing increased recreational opportunities for residents in eastern Chula Vista.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the General Fund. The applicant will fully compensate the Consultant for consulting services and will also reimburse the City for all associated staffing costs through the projects' deposit accounts.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the three-party Agreement will not result in on-going fiscal impacts since the applicant is solely responsible for compensating the consultant and reimbursing the City for all associated staffing costs. The production of Montecito park construction documents is a one time work effort. The construction drawings are expected to be complete by the end of the year.
