Chula Vista Project Raises Ethics Questions for Council Members
As a resident of Lost Creek, one of the adjacent subdivisions to this project, this project concerns me greatly. In our community, many of us already have to deal with a similar condo complex that was constructed with a severe lack of parking, just as this new one is proposed to allow parking for 1.2 cars per unit. All the overflow parking from this existing complex has spilled out into the surrounding streets, clogging them and making exiting our driveways difficult. To exasperate this situation, most of the traffic from Otay Lakes Road cuts through our neighborhood as a short cut and the non-residents have no regard for residential speed limits. With the streets lined with cars, this poses a safety risk for our children. Another concern I have is Mello-Roos. All the homes in the Eastlake area pay varying amounts for the extra fire, police and other community services required for our area. Mello-Roos pay for street maintenance, lighting, parks and all other such services. With a rental complex, who ends up paying for these services? Will it be passed on to the current residents? I believe if the developer had to pay $400 a month per unit in Mello-Roos as I do, this would not be an issue. They would look for another location to build. Heads up Chula Vista, I'm going to bat on this one and I'm bringing backup.— October 4, 2012 10:20 p.m.
