SUMMARY
The San Diego Unified Port District (District), the City of Chula Vista (City), and the Bayfront Coalition (Coalition) entered into a Settlement Agreement concerning the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan (CVBMP). The Settlement Agreement resulted in the Coalition's support of the CVBMP, with the Coalition seeking additional environmental protection measures via the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement requires the creation of a Wildlife Advisory Group (WAG) to oversee the development of a Chula Vista Bayfront Natural Resources Management Plan (NRMP) that promotes specific management objectives intended to protect and enhance fish and wildlife populations and habitats of the Chula Vista Bayfront. The WAG consists of 26 members including the Bayfront Coalition, Port tenants, City residents, developers and resource agencies.
The NRMP was prepared in conjunction with the City, District and the WAG to achieve all of the management objectives of the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement requires the District and City to approve the NRMP. Based on several years of rigorous and thoughtful collaboration among the parties, the NRMP is now complete. The Port of San Diego approved the NRMP at the Board of Port Commissioner's meeting of May 10, 2016.
