Chula Vista addresses wildlife feeding through its nuisance provisions under CVMC Title 8. Feeding wildlife that attracts nuisance animals or creates unsanitary conditions may be cited as a public nuisance. The city's Multiple Species Conservation Program protects wildlife habitats in open space preserves.
Chula Vista does not have a standalone wildlife feeding ordinance. However, feeding wildlife that results in nuisance conditions, including attracting coyotes, rodents, or other potentially dangerous wildlife to residential areas, may be addressed under the city's nuisance abatement provisions in CVMC Title 8. The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility responds to wildlife conflicts and can advise residents on preventing wildlife interactions. The city participates in the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), which protects native wildlife habitats in designated open space preserves throughout the city. San Diego County Department of Environmental Health regulations also apply to situations where wildlife feeding creates unsanitary or hazardous conditions. Residents are encouraged to secure trash containers and remove outdoor pet food to minimize wildlife encounters.
Creating conditions that attract nuisance wildlife may result in code enforcement action under CVMC Title 8. Penalties follow the city's general penalty provisions.
