SUMMARY
In 1990 the Cities of Chula Vista and San Diego, and the County of San Diego entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) to initiate and coordinate acquisition, planning, and design of the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) for the benefit of south bay residents and visitors. As a result, in 2001 the OVRP Concept Plan was created to:
? Identify areas adjacent to open space areas for active and passive recreational opportunities;
? Develop a trail system with staging areas;
? Locate viewpoints and overlooks, and provide connections to recreation areas and adjacent public lands and trails; and
? Establish interpretive centers for environmental and educational programs while protecting environmentally sensitive areas and important cultural resources.
Given that the Concept Plan is now 16 years old, County of San Diego Supervisor Greg Cox, allocated $40,000 of Neighborhood Reinvestment funds on June 9, 2015 to update the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan (the "Concept Plan"). This update represents a collaboration between the three jurisdictions.
