SUMMARY
The cultural arts space on Third Avenue (Arts Space) would be a non-traditional community space where the arts would be used to animate an unimproved parcel in downtown Chula Vista (224 Third Avenue). The proposed concept aligns with the strategies and initiatives of the Cultural Arts Master Plan (Master Plan) which support the development of non-traditional spaces where artists can showcase their work, hold performances, and where arts and culture can be experienced (Master Plan Goal 5, Strategy 2, Initiative B). The Arts Space would also fill an existing gap in arts and culture venue space in Chula Vista and the South Bay region, as a whole. Francisco Garcia-Velasquez, DBA The Industry, has agreed to manage and operate the Arts Space pursuant to a License and Facility Oversight Agreement (Attachment 1).
