SUMMARY
The Downtown Chula Vista Property-Based Business Improvement District (PBID) was formed in 2001 to proactively implement a number of enhancement services and programs within the downtown core. Administered by Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA), the PBID was established to promote a cleaner, safer, and more attractive business district. The PBID was inaugurated for an initial five-year term in 2001, renewed in 2006 for a ten-year term and now must be renewed by July 2016, by a majority of returned property owner ballots via a weighted ballot process.
A petition drive to establish supporting the renewal of the PBID for Downtown Chula Vista was conducted during February and March by TAVA. The petition drive was successful in gaining the signatures of over fifty percent of affected property owners within the proposed District. The City acted on March 15, 2016, to support the renewal of the PBID and to sign the petition for all City owned parcels within the District.
On April 26, 2016, the City Council Adopted a Resolution of Intent that formally began the process of renewing the PBID for a ten-year period. This action allowed for the distribution of the PBID ballots on April 28, 2016, which were sent to the affected property owners. On June 14, 2016, the ballots will be opened and counted at the public hearing. At the public hearing, fifty percent of the assessed valuation returning ballots must support formation of the PBID for the district to be officially renewed. If this goal is reached, the PBID assessment will come into effect on January 1, 2017.
