Future of Chula Vista

Over the next few decades, Chula Vista continued to expand eastward. Plans called for a variety of housing developments such as Eastlake, Rancho del Rey and Otay Ranch neighborhoods. In 2003, Chula Vista had 200,000 residents and was the second largest city in San Diego County. As the city continues to grow, it strives for a balance of attractive neighborhoods and strong business base but holds fast to maintaining a sense of community and small town values upon which it was founded.

Chula Vista is growing at a fast pace, with major developments taking place in the Otay Valley near the U.S. Olympic Training Center and Otay Lake Reservoir. Thousands of new homes have been built in the Otay Ranch, Lomas Verdes, Eastlake and Otay Mesa Areas. The South Bay Expressway, a toll-road extension of state route 125, opened November 19, 2007, will connect freeways 805 and 905 with State Route 54, officially connecting the areas closest to the border to areas of East County, as well as creating a link to Interstates 8 and SR 94.

On May 30, 2006 officials from Chula Vista and the San Diego Chargers met to potentially discuss building a new stadium that would serve as the home for the team. As of October 2007, there has been no significant progress in that direction.

The San Diego Regional Airport Board studied the feasibility of bringing commercial operations from San Diego’s Lindbergh Field to Otay Mesa’s Brown Field. However, plans were ruled out when the mountains proved to be a potential hazard for full-scale commercial air traffic. Also, it was decided that the airport’s proximity to Mexico might have diplomatic repercussions. However, a cargo port was considered, as well as a bi-national airport with Tijuana’s airport.
