Page 12 of 25 EXHIBIT B PARADISE CREEK REVITALIZATION PLAN (PCRP) The City of National City is developing the Westside Infill Transit -Oriented Development Project (WI-TOD) as part of its larger Paradise Creek Revitalization Plan (PCRP). National City is San Diego County's most dense and diverse city. As a mostly built -out community established in 1887 it has the least amount of open space in the County. It also has the lowest household income in the region and has traditionally housed an underserved transient population. Creative and sustainable development patterns are necessary in order for the city to grow and thrive. The City is committed to becoming a sustainable community — a city that can prosper while offering its residents a safe and healthy environment. The WI-TOD and the larger PCRP are key parts of this commitment. The PCRP links western National City by the creation of Paradise Path, a walking path along a natural watershed that would include sustainable design elements and promote safe and healthy living. Key residential projects along the path include the 201 unit WI- TOD (described in more detail below), Library Lofts (283 market rate housing units), and the expansion and enhancement of Senior Village (increasing the affordable senior units from 300 to 500 with a nutrition center and health clinic). Key job generating projects are Marina Gateway (a recently completed 174-room hotel & restaurant commercial complex with expansion potential), South Bay Corporate Center (a vacant 200,000 sq. ft. office and R&D corporate headquarters with expansion potential), and the reconfiguration of 24'h St Marine Terminal (allowing for a more efficient use of Port industrial lands). The PCRP incorporates two City Specific Plans: the transit -oriented, form -based Downtown Specific Plan adopted in 2005, and the Westside Specific Plan, which is scheduled for adoption in March 2010 and will guide the revitalization of the Old Town neighborhood. Together, these two Specific Plans allow for 6,425 additional residential units at full build out and the opportunity to create thousands of new jobs. The PCRP also includes creek restoration, construction of a 3.4 mile walking and bicycle path along the creek, and revitalization of surrounding areas, all of which will restore habitat, eliminate toxic threats and preserve open space. A centerpiece of the PCRP is the Paradise Creek Educational Park which will be constructed adjacent to Kimball Elementary School through a joint -use agreement between the City and the National School District. The park will include ballfields, picnic areas, a playground, and a community garden, and will promote public health, preserve open space, and provide access to agricultural resources. Other recreational facilities, open space areas and public institutions along the Paradise Creek corridor include a new marina, Pepper Park, the proposed Port Park, Kimball Park, the newly opened main library, Boys and Girls Club, and a proposed Aquatic Center. The City has already spent in excess of $5 million on infrastructure and open space improvements in the PCRP area, and will use Catalyst funding and support to make further enhancements along the corridor. Page 13 of 25 At the center of the PCRP is the WI-TOD. This project is a transit -oriented, 100% affordable, infill rental residential community to be located immediately adjacent to National City's 24th Street Trolley Station. The WI-TOD will include over 200 units in several buildings, and will expand the existing Adult Education Center to offer financial and employment training to local residents. The WI-TOD will be constructed in phases based on funding through a partnership between the City, The Related Companies of California, and Community Housing Works (a local non-profit housing provider). The City has already received an $11.2 million Prop 1 C grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development and has committed 50% of its local housing funds to build it. Additionally, the WI-TOD has been selected as 1 of 5 Sustainable Communities Partnership Pilots in the entire country by the US Environmental Protection Agency, HUD, and the Department of Transportation. The centerpiece of the project is Paradise Creek, a sensitive habitat that will require the participation of CA Dept of Fish & Game and other resource agencies. Catalyst funding and technical assistance will provide needed regulatory collaboration and additional funding to bring this project to fruition, thereby creating a new neighborhood center and a catalyst project for the revitalization plan. Page 14 of 25 EXHIBIT B1 OBJECTIVES AND MEASUREMENTS Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 1. Inter -Jurisdictional and Regional Collaboration Business as usual / No action taken Cooperation with 10 local and regional agencies with plans consistent with existing Regional Blueprint. The project implements the goals, objectives and policies of the San Diego Association of Governments' (SANDAG) Regional Comprehensive Plan, which specifically calls for intensification in western National City and at the 24th Street Trolley Station, which is the site of the WI-TOD. SANDAG is working closely with the City of National City in planning for smart growth in the PCRP area. The City is currently updating its General Plan concurrent to SANDAG's update of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and strong efforts are being made to coordinate timelines and resources. The City is also cooperating with the National City School District to partner in the joint use of facilities (parks, playgrounds, sports fields, community centers, libraries) and programming of services (before and after school programs, family resource centers, food and nutrition programs), and the improvement of facilities and infrastructure (safe routes to schools). The City's bay front is mainly industrial with the 24th Street Marine Terminal and a large portion of Naval Base San Diego. The City and the Port are working together to reconfigure tidelands to increase maritime and commercial business and improve quality of life in National City. The Navy is constantly reviewing its base master plan and the City works to accommodate needs and mitigate impacts. The Catalyst Project could potentially involve the collaboration of the City with HCD, SANDAG, Caltrans, MTS, USFWS, ACOE, DFG, EPA, DEH, CALEPA, and all County and State public health agencies. The Revitalization Plan could expand the collaboration depending on areas of focus. The City will maintain a census of the number of agencies involved in the project, and will report on the nature and outcomes of the cooperation. Yes Ycs Ycs Page 15 of 25 Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 2. Quantifiable Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Business as usual / No action taken Reduction in vehicle -related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% as compared to the same amount of development built in outlying locations. Development under the PCRP will encourage transit use, walking and bicycling, will minimize vehicle trips, and will emphasize green building, energy conservation and resource efficiency. Using a model created by Matthew Taecker for the City of Berkeley's Downtown Plan, the City of National City has estimated that the 6,425 housing units in the PCRP will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles by 50% when compared to the same amount of development built in outlying locations in the San Diego region. Further GHG reductions will result from green building technologies and energy and resource efficiency. The City will conduct VMT surveys, as explained under Transportation and Transit improvements, below. This data will be fed into ICLEI's CACP model (or a similar model) to model GHG reductions. Yes Yes Yes 3. Increased Supply of Affordable Housing Business as usual / No action taken Provide 201 new affordable housing units. The Downtown (over 5,000 potential units) and Westside (1,425 potential units) Specific Plans include a total of 6,425 units, of which potentially 1,285 (at least 20%) are expected to be affordable to very -low, low- and moderate income households. The PCRP also includes two specific projects to meet the needs of low- income people and seniors: • The WI-TOD consists of 201 units of affordable rental housing. At least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 30% AMI, at least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 40% AMI, at least 50% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 50% AMI, and 30% for tenants with incomes less than 60% AMI. • The expansion of Senior Village will add approximately 200 affordable senior units to an existing 300-unit development. The City will track the number of affordable housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage. Yes Yes Yes Page 16 of 25 Catalyst Goal Baseline - Performance Objective - Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting J Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 4. Transportation and Transit Improvements Business as usual / No action taken Construction of 3.4 miles of new Paradise Creek Trail and reduction in pedestrian and bicycle accidents by 15% in the PCRP area. Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), the local transit authority, has programmed facility improvements at the 24th Street Trolley Station. The PCRP includes a multi -use trail along Paradise Creek, which will link housing, employment, education and recreation facilities throughout the west side of National City. The construction of this trail will encourage walking and bicycling. The Westside and Downtown Specific Plans include numerous additional improvements to enhance mobility, access and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. The City will track the length of trail built as construction occurs. The City will use regularly - reported Police data to calculate reduction in accidents. Ycs l"cs Ycs 5. Transit -Oriented Developments Business as usual / No action taken Construction of 201 new housing units within '/, mile of the 24th Street Trolley Station. The PCRP and the WI-TOD are centered around the existing 24th Street Trolley Station, which will become a focal point for the neighborhood. New residents and employees will be able to take the trolley to and from work, with a commute of only 10 minutes to downtown San Diego. The WI-TOD itself includes over 201 new units immediately adjacent to the trolley station. The City will track the number of housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage and will track the transit usage of residents and employees within the project area through the use of periodic surveys. Yes Ycs Ycs Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 Page 17 of 25 6. Reduce Automobile and Fuel Consumption Business as usual / No action taken Reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 50%. Monitor the number of vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian trips associated with the WI-TOD on a typical weekday and Saturday. Monitor the number of boardings and disembarkations at the 24th Street Trolley Station. Development under the PCRP will encourage transit use, walking and bicycling, which will minimize vehicle trips. Using a model created by Matthew Taecker for the City of Berkeley's Downtown Plan, the City of National City has estimated that the 1,425 units in the PCRP will reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 50% when compared to the VMT generated by the same development if it were built in outlying locations in the San Diego region. The City will calculate VMT through a bi-annual survey of DMV odometer reading data. This data, which is available in the public domain, tells the odometer reading for every vehicle registered in the state on an annual basis as re -registration occurs. The City will compile this data on a bi-annual basis for residents of western National City. The City will conduct counts of trips leaving the WI-TOD once ever two years, on both a weekday and a Saturday. Data on boardings and disembarkations at the 24th Street Trolley Station is already collected by MTS. Yes Yes Yes Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 Page 18 of 25 7. Energy Efficiency, Conservation, or renewable energy Business as usual / No action taken Energy efficiency and energy conservation TBD with SDG&E. The PCRP and the WI-TOD are ideal test areas for innovations in this category. The combination of new construction of 201 units and rehabilitation of aging housing stock in the Old Town neighborhood allows strategies to be developed and tested that consider old and new housing. The focus on walkability and access to transit is an overarching goal that reduces fuel consumption. The Westside Specific Plan will be implemented through an Old Town Action Plan (see below) that is working with SDG&E on an energy roadmap and neighborhood strategies to create efficiencies and promote conservation. Specific measures are as follows: • Neighborhood smart grid that allows real time information on energy usage to promote awareness and set neighborhood goals for conservation; • Weatherization program to refurbish existing homes with energy efficient improvements; • On -bill financing through SDG&E that allows small businesses to finance renewable energy improvements through cost savings on their utility bills. National City will set reasonable targets for energy usage and renewable energy generation and report on the results as compared to typical residences and businesses in the area. Yes Ycs Ycs Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 Page 19 of 25 8. milNeighborhoods Revitalizing and Community Centers Business as usual / No action taken No residents displaced through revitalization. The neighborhoods surrounding the PCRP are some of the most underserved in San Diego County, with a median income of only 64% of the County's average. Development of new housing, jobs, a restored creek, a trail and parks in these neighborhoods will make them more viable and livable. No existing residents will be unwillingly displaced, jobs will be made available to existing residents, and new facilities such as parks, the trail and the Adult Education Center will be oriented at the needs of existing residents. A Neighborhood Action Plan (NAP) is being developed for the Old Town neighborhood to implement policy goals set forth in the Westside Specific Plan. The NAP will include the creation of a public action network consisting of residents and businesses to participate in implementation of specific actions. Some of the ideas and implementation strategies being proposed into the Old Town Action Plan are: • Neighborhood Policing: Creating a neighborhood specific strategy for safety between Police, Code Enforcement, residents, businesses, and other interested parties. • Parking District: Creating a district that addresses parking issues related to demands of residents, businesses, and transit. • Family Resource Center and Corner Store Health Centers: Working to improve existing FRC and comer stores to provide better access to health services and healthy foods. • Amortization of Unhealthy Nonconforming Uses: Using adopted City amortization ordinance to relocate incompatible and unhealthy industrial uses in the Old Town neighborhood. • Partnership with Kimball Elementary: Utilizing school's central location to create a neighborhood hub for activity and services. Any residents that would be displaced by individual projects would be identified during CEQA evaluation of individual projects. None have been identified to date. Crime statistics for the project area will be compiled and compared to the area's statistics prior to redevelopment. A database of nonconforming uses will be maintained, and nonconforming uses amortized or otherwise removed will be reported.

Creation of 5 new community garden plots. Restoration of 3.4 miles of Paradise Creek. The PCRP will restore Paradise Creek and will include significant community gardens as part of a Food Action Plan that will provide access to land for growing food in a highly urbanized environment. The City will track the length of creek restoration and the acreage of community gardens created as construction occurs. Yes Yes Yes 10. Mill Improved Availability of Parks in Park- Deficient Areas and Increased Park Acreage Business as usual / No action taken Creation of 3.2 acres of new parkland and revitalization 6.9 acres of existing parkland. 3.0 park acreage per 1,000 residents Within the Old Town neighborhood the area along Paradise Creek is currently deficient of improved parks. The PCRP will address this deficiency by creating roughly 3.2 acres of new parkland and by renovating an additional 6.9 acres of existing parks. The WI-TOD will further develop the Paradise Creek Educational Park as a catalyst to making parks more available. The City will inventory its park supply bi-annually, and calculate parkland per 1,000 residents by comparing park acreage to State Department of Finance population estimates. Yes Yes Yes 11. Improve Water and/or Air Quality and Reduction in Toxin Threats, Remediated Hazardous Waste Sites, and Reduced Concentrations of Diesel Particulate Matter in Indoor Living Spaces of New Residential Units Business as usual / No action taken Reduction in TAC emissions and reduction in the rate of asthma diagnosis. 20 acres of hazardous waste sites remediated The Westside Specific Planning area has long been a neighborhood afflicted by poor land use planning, which has resulted in an unhealthy mixture of homes, toxic polluting businesses, and warehouses. Due to the mix of residential and industrial uses, the air quality in the neighborhood has become increasingly unsafe for people who reside there. The Old Town neighborhood contains over 23,000 pounds of air toxics, of which roughly 70% of the reported toxics come from auto body shops located within the community. In the Old Town neighborhood alone, 14% of children have been diagnosed with asthma. Additionally, 9% of adults in the community have been diagnosed with asthma. These findings, coupled with the reported 32% of children and 51% of adults in the neighborhood lacking health insurance, have led community leaders to suspect that these asthma rates are higher than reported. The method of achieving performance objectives will be the remediation of sites and the requirement that measures be implemented as part of new construction. The City will work with agencies and partners to develop methodology for comparison with existing conditions, and the City will track remediation as it occurs. The City will measure diesel particulate matter concentrations through real-time readings taken indoor areas after construction occurs and on a bi-annual basis thereafter.

Increased Infill and/or Compact Development Business as usual / No action taken Development of 201 new housing units. An average density of 25 units per acre. For new housing units All development under the PCRP will be compact infill in an existing urban setting. National City is already the most densely populated city in San Diego County (9.6 persons per acre), and it features a well- structured, compact grid of streets with excellent transit connections that can easily accommodate new development. Development under the PCRP will implement two Specific Plans specifically targeted at compact infill development, and will have average densities ranging from 16 to 100 units per acre. The City will track the number of housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage, and will calculate the average density of all projects approved by averaging calculated densities of individual projects. Yes Yes Yes 13. 1 Efficient Use of Existing Infrastructure Business as usual / No action taken No required expansions or new installations of trunk infrastructure to serve new development. Since National City is an existing, built -out City, development under the PCRP, including the WI-TOD will rely on existing roadway, sewer and water supply infrastructure, and hence will be much more efficient than development in greenfield areas that require new infrastructure. New development can tie directly into existing roadways, water lines and sewer lines, all of which have capacity to accommodate additional loads. Any needed expansions or new installations of trunk infrastructure to serve new development would be identified during the construction permit review process. None have been identified to date. Yes Yes Ycs 14. Development of Integrated/Joint Use Public Facilities and Services Business as usual / No action taken Development of 2.3 acres of parkland in Paradise Creek Educational Park, built under a joint -use agreement with the National School District. One of the key components of the PCRP is the Paradise Creek Educational Park, which will be expanded adjacent to Kimball Elementary School through a joint -use agreement between the City and the National School District.

Promote Equitable, Affordable Housing: The Downtown and Westside Specific Plans include a total of 6,425 units, of which 1,285 (at least 20%) are expected to be affordable to very -low, low -and moderate income households. The WI-TOD consist of 201 units of affordable rental housing, at least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with income less than 30% AMI, at least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 40% AMI, at least 50% of the units will be restricted to tenants with less than 50% AMI, and 30% for tenants with incomes less than 60%AMI. Enhance Economic Competitiveness: The WI-TOD includes an Adult Education Center, which will train local residents for jobs in the new economy. The South Bay Corporate Center that is adjacent to the WI-TOD is a vacant 200,000 sq ft commercial complex with expansion possibilities. The entire PCRP area is a qualified Enterprise Zone offering incentive for employers. Support Existing Communities: The PCRP and WI-TOD are located in a fully -built out community immediately adjacent to San Diego's urban core. Investment in this project means investment in our existing communities. Coordinate Policies And Leverage Investment: The PCRP and WI-TOD are consistent with SANDAG's regional policies aimed to strengthening smart growth in the San Diego Region. The City of National City has already invested over $5 million for new infrastructure in the PCRP corridor, and the WI-TOD has already garnered a Proposition 1C Grant. Investments of Catalyst Program resources will coordinate with regional policies and leverage past investments. Value Communities And Neighborhoods: The PCRP and WI-TOD represent investments in creating a healthy, safe, and walkable neighborhood in the heart of National City, and just 10 minutes by rail from Downtown San Diego.

Two, Three and Four as detailed above and evaluate the success of those strategies in addressing climate change objectives, improving jobs and housing relationships, increase housing supply and affordability; stimulate job creation and retention; enhance transportation modal choices that reflect community values, preserve open space and agricultural resources; promote public health; eliminate toxic threats; address blighted properties; reduce green house gas emissions and increase energy conservation and independence. Page 12 of 25 EXHIBIT B PARADISE CREEK REVITALIZATION PLAN (PCRP) The City of National City is developing the Westside Infill Transit -Oriented Development Project (WI-TOD) as part of its larger Paradise Creek Revitalization Plan (PCRP). National City is San Diego County's most dense and diverse city. As a mostly built -out community established in 1887 it has the least amount of open space in the County. It also has the lowest household income in the region and has traditionally housed an underserved transient population. Creative and sustainable development patterns are necessary in order for the city to grow and thrive. The City is committed to becoming a sustainable community — a city that can prosper while offering its residents a safe and healthy environment. The WI-TOD and the larger PCRP are key parts of this commitment. The PCRP links western National City by the creation of Paradise Path, a walking path along a natural watershed that would include sustainable design elements and promote safe and healthy living. Key residential projects along the path include the 201 unit WI- TOD (described in more detail below), Library Lofts (283 market rate housing units), and the expansion and enhancement of Senior Village (increasing the affordable senior units from 300 to 500 with a nutrition center and health clinic). Key job generating projects are Marina Gateway (a recently completed 174-room hotel & restaurant commercial complex with expansion potential), South Bay Corporate Center (a vacant 200,000 sq. ft. office and R&D corporate headquarters with expansion potential), and the reconfiguration of 24th St Marine Terminal (allowing for a more efficient use of Port industrial lands). The PCRP incorporates two City Specific Plans: the transit -oriented, form -based Downtown Specific Plan adopted in 2005, and the Westside Specific Plan, which is scheduled for adoption in March 2010 and will guide the revitalization of the Old Town neighborhood. Together, these two Specific Plans allow for 6,425 additional residential units at full build out and the opportunity to create thousands of new jobs. The PCRP also includes creek restoration, construction of a 3.4 mile walking and bicycle path along the creek, and revitalization of surrounding areas, all of which will restore habitat, eliminate toxic threats and preserve open space. A centerpiece of the PCRP is the Paradise Creek Educational Park which will be constructed adjacent to Kimball Elementary School through a joint -use agreement between the City and the National School District. The park will include ballfields, picnic areas, a playground, and a community garden, and will promote public health, preserve open space, and provide access to agricultural resources. Other recreational facilities, open space areas and public institutions along the Paradise Creek corridor include a new marina, Pepper Park, the proposed Port Park, Kimball Park, the newly opened main library, Boys and Girls Club, and a proposed Aquatic Center. The City has already spent in excess of $5 million on infrastructure and open space improvements in the PCRP area, and will use Catalyst funding and support to make further enhancements along the corridor. Page 13 of 25 At the center of the PCRP is the WI-TOD. This project is a transit -oriented, 100% affordable, infill rental residential community to be located immediately adjacent to National City's 24th Street Trolley Station. The WI-TOD will include over 200 units in several buildings, and will expand the existing Adult Education Center to offer financial and employment training to local residents. The WI-TOD will be constructed in phases based on funding through a partnership between the City, The Related Companies of California, and Community Housing Works (a local non-profit housing provider). The City has already received an $11.2 million Prop 1 C grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development and has committed 50% of its local housing funds to build it. Additionally, the WI-TOD has been selected as 1 of 5 Sustainable Communities Partnership Pilots in the entire country by the US Environmental Protection Agency, HUD, and the Department of Transportation. The centerpiece of the project is Paradise Creek, a sensitive habitat that will require the participation of CA Dept of Fish & Game and other resource agencies. Catalyst funding and technical assistance will provide needed regulatory collaboration and additional funding to bring this project to fruition, thereby creating a new neighborhood center and a catalyst project for the revitalization plan.

Inter -Jurisdictional and Regional Collaboration Business as usual / No action taken II) Cooperation with 10 local and regional agencies with plans consistent with existing Regional Blueprint. The project implements the goals, objectives and policies of the San Diego Association oaf Governments' (SANDAG) Regional Comprehensive Plan, which specifically calls , for intensification in western National City and at the 24th Street Trolley Station, which is the site of the WI-TOD. SANDAG is working closely with the City of National City in planning fer smart growth in the PCRP area. The City is currently updating its General Plan concurrent to SANDAG's update of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and strong efforts are being made to coordinate timelines and resources. The City is also cooperating with the National City School District to partner in the joint use of facilities (parks, playgrounds, sports fields, community centers, libraries) and programming of services (before and after school programs, family resource centers, food and nutrition programs), and the improvement of facilities and infrastructure (safe routes to schools). The City's bay front is mainly industrial with the 24th Street Marine Terminal and a large portion of Naval Base San Diego. The City and the Port are working together to reconfigure tidelands to increase maritime and commercial business and improve quality of life in National City. The Navy is constantly reviewing its base master plan and the City works to accommodate needs and mitigate impacts. The Catalyst Project could potentially involve the collaboration of the City with HCD, SANDAG, Caltrans, MTS, USFWS, ACOE, DFG, EPA, DEH, CALEPA, and all County and State public health agencies. The Revitalization Plan could expand the collaboration depending on areas of focus. The City will maintain a census of the number of agencies involved in the project, and will report on the nature and outcomes of the cooperation. Yes Yes Yes IP Page 15 of 25 Catalyst Goal Baseline Performance Objective Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 2. Quantifiable Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Business as usual / No action taken Reduction in vehicle -related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% as compared to the same amount of development built in outlying locations. Development under the PCRP will encourage transit use, walking and bicycling, wilt minimize vehicle trips, and will emphasize green building, energy conservation and resource efficiency. Using a model created by Matthew Taecker for the City of Berkeley's Downtown Plan, the City of National City has estimated that the 6,425 housing units in the PCRP will reduce greenhouse -gas emissions ikk from vehicles by 50% when compared to the same amount of development built in outlying locations in the San Diego region. Further GHG reductions will result from green building technologies and energy and resource efficiency. , The City will conduct VMT surveys, as explained under Transportation and Transit improvements, below. This data will be fed into ICLEI's CACP model (or a similar model) to model GHG reductions. Yes Yes Yes 3. Increased Supply of Affordable Housing Business as usual / No action taken Provide 201 new affordable housing units. The Downtown (over 5,000 potential units) and Westside (1,425 potential unit4Specific Plans include a total of 6,425 units, of which potentially 1,285 (at least 20%) are expected to be affordable to very -low, low- and moderate income households. The PCRP also includes two specific projects to meet the needs of low- income people and senior's: • The WI-TOD consists of 201 units of affordable rental housing. At least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 30% AMI, at least 10% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 40% AMI, at least 50% of the units will be restricted to tenants with incomes less than 50% AMI, and 30% for tenants with incomes less than 60% AMI. • The expansion of Senior Village will add approximately 200 affordable senior units to an existing 300-unit development. The City will track the number of affordable housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage.

Transportation and Transit Improvements Business as usual / No action taken Construction of 3.4 miles of new Paradise Creek Trail and reduction in pedestrian and bicycle accidents by 15% in the PCRP area. Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), the local transit authority, has programmed facility improvements at the 24th Street Trolley Station. The PCRP includes a multi -use trail along Paradise Creek, which will link housing, employment, education and recreation facilities throughout the west side of National City. The& construction of this trail will encourage walking and bicycling. The W/estside and Downtown Specific Plans include numerous additional improvements to enhance mobility, access and safety for and bicyclists. The City will track the length of trail built as construction occurs. The City will use regularly - reported Police data to calculate reduction in accidents. Yes Ycs Ycs Tpedestrians 5. Transit -Oriented Developments Business as usual / No action taken Construction of 201 new housing units within ''A mile of the 24th Street Trolley Station. AliPb The PCRP and the WI-TOD are centered around the existing 24th Street Trolley Station, which will become a focal point for the neighborhood. New residents and'employees will be able to take the trolley to and from work, with a commute of only 10 minutes to downtown San Diego. The WI-TOD itself includes over 201 new units immediately adjacent to the trolley station. The City will track the number of housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage and will track the transit usage of residents and employees within the project area through the use of periodic surveys. Yes Yes Yes Page 17 of 25 Catalyst Goal Baseline A. Performance Objective i Method of Achieving Performance Objective Outcomes Reporting Yr 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 6. Reduce Automobile and Fuel Consumption Business as usual / No action taken Reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 50%. Monitor the number of vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian trips associated with the WI-TOD on a typical weekday and Saturday. Monitor the number of boardings and disembarkations at the 24th Street Trolley Station. Allikbh,. Development under the PCRP will encourage transit use, walking and bicycling, which will minimize vehicle trips. Using a model created by Matthew Taecker for the City of Berkeley's Downtown Plan, the City of National City has estimated that the 1,425 units in the PCRP will reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 50% when compared to the VMT generated by the same development if it were built in outlying locations in the San Diego region. The City will calculate VMT through a bi-annual survey of DMV odometer reading data. This data, which is available in the public domain, tells the odometer reading for every vehicle registered in the state on an annual basis as re -registration occurs. The City will compile this data on a bi-annual basis for residents of western National City. The City willconduct counts of trips leaving the WI-TOD once ever two years, on both a weekday and a Saturday. Data on boardings and disembarkations at the 24th Street Trolley Station is already collected by MTS.

Energy Efficiency, Conservation, or renewable energy Business as usual / No action taken Energy efficiency and energy conservation TBD with SDG&E. The PCRP and the WI-TOD are ideal test areas for innovations in this category. The combination of new construction of 201 units and rehabilitation of aging housing stock in the Old Town neighborhood allows strategies to be developed and tested that consider old and new housing. The focus on walkability and access to transit is an overarching goal that reduces fuel consumption. The Westside Specific P1anb will be implemented through an Old Town Action Plan (see below) that is working with SDG&E on an energy roadmap and neighborhood strategies to create efficiencies and promote conservation. Specific measures are as follows: • Neighborhood smart grid that allows real time information on energy usage to promote awareness and set neighborhood goals for conservation; • Weatherization program to bish existing homes with energy etiicient improvements; • On -bill financing through SDG&E that allows small businesses to finance renewable energy improvements through cost savings on their utility bills. t National City will set reasonable targets for energy usage and renewable energy generation and report on the results as compared to typical residences and businesses in the area.

Revitalizing Neighborhoods and Community Centers Business as usual / No action taken No residents displaced through revitalization. The neighborhoods surrounding the PCRP are some of the most underserved in San Diego County, with a median income of only 64% of the County's average. Development of new housing, jobs, a restored creek, a trail and parks in these neighborhoods will make them more viable and livable. No existing residents will be unwillingly displaced, jobs will be mad& available to existing residents, and new facilities such as parks, the trail and the Adult Education Center will be oriented at the needs of existing residents. A Neighborhood Action Plan (NAP) is being developed for the Old Town neighborhood to implement policy goals set forth in the Westside Specific Plan. The NAP will include the creation of a public action network consisting of residents and businesses to participate in implementation of specific actions. Some of the ideas and implementation strategies being proposed into the Old Town Action Plan are: , • Neighborhood Policing: Creating a neighborhood specific strategy for safety between Police, Code Enforcement, residents, businesses, and other interested parties. • Parking District: Creating a district that addresses parking issues related to demands of residents, businesses, and transit. +sFamnily Resource Center and Comer Store Health Centers: Working to improve existing FRC and corner stores to provide better access to health services and healthy foods. • Amortization of Unhealthy Nonconforming Uses: Using adopted City amortization ordinance to relocate incompatible and unhealthy industrial uses in the Old Town neighborhood. • Partnership with Kimball Elementary: Utilizing school's central location to create a neighborhood hub for activity and services. Any residents that would be displaced by individual projects would be identified during CEQA evaluation of individual projects. None have been identified to date. Crime statistics for the project area will be compiled and compared to the area's statistics prior to redevelopment. A database of nonconforming uses will be maintained, and nonconforming uses amortized or otherwise removed will be reported.

Protection of Natural Resources and/or Agricultural Land Business as usual / No action taken Creation of 0.5 acres of new community gardens. Creation of 5 new community garden plots. Restoration of 3.4 miles of Paradise Creek. The PCRP will restore Paradise Creek and will include significant community gardens as part of a Food Action Plan that will provide access to land for growing food in a highly urbanized environment. The City will track the length of creek restoration and the acreage of community gardens created as construction occurs. Yes Yes Yes 10. Improved Availability of Parks in Park- Deficient Areas and Increased Park Acreage Business as usual / No action taken Creation of 3.2 acres of new parkland and revitalization 6.9 acres of existing parkland. 3.0 park acreage per 1,000 residents Within the Old Town neighborhood the area along Paradise Creek is currently deficient of improved parks. The PCRP will address this deficiency by creating roughly 3.2 acres of new parkland and by renovating an additional 6.9 acres of existing parks. The.WI-TOD will further develop the Paradise Creek Educational ., Park as a catalyst to making parks more available. er The City will inventory its park supply bi-annually, and calculate parkland per 1,000 residents by comparing park acreage to State Department of Finance population estimates. Yes Yes Yes 11. Improve Water and/or Air Quality and Reduction in Toxin Threats, Remediated Hazardous Waste Sites, and Reduced Concentrations of Diesel Particulate Matter in Indoor Living Spaces of New Residential Units Business as usual / No action taken 4ILIIIIkl. Reduction in TAC emissions and reduction in the rate of asthma diagnosis. 20 acres of hazardous waste sites remediated Alli The Westside Specific Planning area has long been a neighborhood afflicted by poor land use planning, which has resulted in an unhealthy mixture of homes, toxic polluting businesses, and warehouses. Due to the mix of residential and industrial uses, the air quality in the neighborhood has become increasingly unsafe for people who reside there. The Old Town neighborhood contains over 23,000 pounds of air toxics, of which roughly 70% of the reported toxics come from auto body shops located within the community. In the Old Town neighborhood alone, 14% of children have been diagnosed with asthma. Additionally, 9% of adults in the community have been diagnosed with asthma. These findings, coupled with the reported 32% of children and 51 % of adults in the neighborhood lacking health insurance, have led community leaders to suspect that these asthma rates are higher than reported. The method of achieving performance objectives will be the remediation of sites and the requirement that measures be implemented as part of new construction. The City will work with agencies and partners to develop methodology for comparison with existing conditions, and the City will track remediation as it occurs. The City will measure diesel particulate matter concentrations through real-time readings taken indoor areas after construction occurs and on a bi-annual basis thereafter.

An average density of 25 units per acre. For new housing units All development under the PCRP will be compact infill in an existing urban setting. National City is already the most densely populated city in San Diego County (9.6 ' persons per acre), and it features a well- structured, compact grid of streets with excellent transit connections that can easily accommodate new development. Development under the PCRP will implement two Specific ik Plans specifically targeted at compact infill development, and will have average densities ranging from 16 to 100 units per acre.411111 The City will track the number of housing units both at the building permit and certificate of occupancy stage, and will calculate the average density of all projects approved by averaging calculated densities of individual projects. Yes Yes Yes 13. 6 Efficient Use of Existing Infrastructure Business as usual / No action taken No required expansions or new installations of trunk infrastructure to serve new development. 4111 Since National City is an existing, built -out City, development under the PCRP, including the WI-TOD will rely on existing roadway, sewer and water supply infrastructure, and hence will be much more efficient than development in greenfield areas that require new infrastructure. New development can tie directly into existing roadways, water lines and sewer lines, all of which have capacity to accommodate additional loads. Any needed expansions or new installations of trunk infrastructure to serve new development would be identified during the construction permit review process. None have been identified to date. Yes Yes Yes 14. di Development of Integrated/Joint Use Public Facilities and Services Business as usual / No action taken Development of 2.3 acres of parkland in Paradise Creek Educational Park, built under a joint -use agreement with the National School District. One of the key components of the PCRP is the Paradise Creek Educational Park, which will be expanded adjacent to Kimball Elementary School through a joint -use agreement between the City and the National School District. The City will track the acres that are developed into the Paradise Creek Educational Park as development.
