Mayor John McCann has asked city staff to research laws adopted by other cities and recommend policies
All eyes are on San Diego as it enters its third week of enforcing its controversial new camping ban, but Chula Vista, the county’s second-largest city, may soon follow suit.
Chula Vista has been ramping up its efforts to address homelessness. Adding to or strengthening its existing municipal code, which prohibits sleeping or camping on city-owned or leased properties such as parking lots or parks, is the next step, said McCann. San Diego and Poway, which is expected to start enforcing its camping ban this week, have ordinances that were intended to be in accordance with the Martin v. Boise federal ruling, which prohibits a person from being cited for sleeping outside if no shelter beds are available.from 206 last year to 318 this year, has offered vouchers to homeless individuals to stay at one of four hotels. Since July 2022, the city issued five vouchers and from July 2021 through June 2022, nine were given.
At least one South County service provider in Chula Vista had similar concerns. Others did not return requests for comment. Officers with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System warn those in an encampment in Chula Vista that they have four hours to vacate the private property.
