The City’s General Plan land use and public facilities elements require that adequate public facilities be available to accommodate increased population created by new development within the City of Chula Vista.

The City Council of the City of Chula Vista has determined that new development will create adverse impacts on the City’s existing public facilities which must be mitigated by the financing and construction of certain public facilities which are the subject of this chapter. New development contributes to the cumulative burden on these public facilities in direct relationship to the amount of population generated by the development or the gross acreage of the commercial or industrial land in the development.

The City Council of the City of Chula Vista has determined that a reasonable means of financing the public facilities is to charge a fee on all developments in the City of Chula Vista. Imposition of the public facilities development impact fee on all new development for which building permits have not yet been issued is necessary in order to protect the public safety and welfare, thereby ensuring effective implementation of the City’s General Plan.
