The City’s General Plan Land Use and Transportation Element requires that adequate Transportation 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 Transportation Facilities that are the subject of this chapter. New development contributes to the cumulative burden on Transportation Facilities in direct relationship to the demand for service generated by the development.

The City Council of the City of Chula Vista has determined that a reasonable means of financing the impacted Transportation Facilities is to charge a fee on all developments located within the following subareas of the City of Chula Vista: the Eastern Area, the Western Area, and the Bayfront Area. Imposition of the Transportation Development Impact Fees 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.
