Welcome to the Community Development Department

Our Vision
Chula Vista is recognized worldwide as the most innovative and
successful city for its natural and built beauty, amenities for its citizens,
sense of community, and sustainable environment.

Our Mission
Serve the public by advising, providing professional expertise, and
implementing City policies and directives that result in the community
realizing its full potential for physical beauty, sense of community and
economic vibrancy.

The City of Chula Vista has a history of culturally diverse communities, progressive planning, and sound fiscal management. As successful development continues in the eastern part of the City, the west side is being rediscovered as one of the region’s most attractive residential and commercial markets.

The Community Development Department plays a crucial role in the implementation of Council policies that continue to promote and develop economic vibrancy and opportunity, ensure safe and affordable neighborhoods, and provide for the public benefits and amenities that strong growth and sound management afford.
