RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 19-ACRE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) PARK LOCATED AT E STREET AND BAY BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Chula Vista Marina/RV Park, Ltd. has a lease1 with the District at 460 Sandpiper Way, within the City of Chula Vista (City) that expires on November 30, 2021 to operate a 237-stall RV Park (Existing RV Park). In May 2010, the Board certified a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and approved a Port Master Plan amendment (PMPA) for the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan (CVBMP), which was the result of a decade-long planning effort. This entitlement process envisioned the replacement of the Existing RV Park. The Existing RV Park is located within a portion of the Chula Vista Bayfront that is the home to a future resort hotel and convention center (RHCC). The Chula Vista Bayfront Development Policies, which are incorporated by reference into the Port Master Plan, require all existing 237 recreational vehicle (RV) stalls be replaced prior to the Existing RV Park closing.
The CVBMP identified the19-acre site located at E Street and Bay Boulevard in the Sweetwater District of the Chula Vista Bayfront (Site) (Attachment A) as a possible replacement site for the 237 RV stalls. After lengthy discussions and negotiations with the Existing RV Park tenant, they notified the District on April 11, 2016 (Attachment B) that they have elected not to relocate to the new Site. Since the replacement of the 237 RV stalls is a requirement of the Chula Vista Bayfront Development Policies, staff recommends the Board direct staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of a minimum 237-stall RV park at the Site (Project). Staff is seeking to attract high-quality RV park developers, owners, and operators through this RFP process to ensure a successful project on the Chula Vista Bayfront.
