From: City Manager Department/Recreation Division
Subject: Lifeguard Service Policy & Procedures
Recommended Action: Authorize staff to submit the Capitola Seasonal Lifeguard Policy and Procedure Manual as a part of the City’s application for USLA Open Water Lifeguard Agency Certification.
Background: On June 23, 2022, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget which included the development of a City-run Lifeguard Program. Previously, the City contracted with the City of Santa Cruz Fire Department (Santa Cruz) for lifeguard services, which began in 2012 and ended in September 2022. On July 28, 2022, the City Council approved a permanent position in the Recreation Division, Recreation Coordinator: Beach Lifeguard Services, to assist in the development and supervision of the Capitola Lifeguard Service.
Discussion: The City intends to apply for USLA Lifeguard Agency Certification in September 2023.
USLA is a national organization that certifies lifeguard agencies and ensures that their training program meets or exceeds ULSA standards. The application process requires the City develop a training program appropriate for the conditions and geographic features of the area, establish policies and procedures that support USLA guidelines, identify required equipment, and establish staff qualifications for training and supervision of the operation.
City staff developed the attached “Seasonal Lifeguard Policy and Procedure Manual” to comply with USLA application requirements. The Manual has been reviewed by the Capitola Police Department along with input from Santa Cruz Fire and Central Fire District.
Future revisions of this document will be revised administratively.
Fiscal Impact: None

In carrying out the mission of the Capitola Lifeguard Service, it is our responsibility to provide public safety services to the community with the highest level of integrity and professional standards possible. The policy and procedures contained in this manual are designed to afford both employees and the public consistency in the deliverance of public service.
This document to be known as the Capitola Lifeguard Service Manual has been prepared as a guide to assist all employees of the lifeguard service in implementing the program’s mission.
While many of the procedures are specific in nature, it must be understood that this manual does not attempt to dictate how every situation must be handled. It is impossible to produce a document that is all inclusive. Employees must base their conduct and action in each instance based upon the facts of the situation as they reasonably appear, relying upon experience, training, and judgement. It shall be the responsibility of each Beach Lifeguard, Lifeguard Lieutenant and employee of Capitola Lifeguard Service to become familiar with its contents.
The scope of information contained herein is subject to a multitude of sources requiring update, revision or interpretation. These sources shall include, but not be limited to, service rules, regulations and directives, or other documents as may be issued by higher authority related to our Services’ operations or activities.

100.5 GENERAL RULES OF CONDUCT
100.5.1 CODE OF ETHICS
Lifeguards are public servants who provide safety to beach users. Since public safety is at the heart of our mission, high standards of ethical conduct and performance must be adhered to. This can routinely be accomplished by employing common sense and good judgment.
Lifeguards are constantly in public view and professionalism by employees is vital to the public’s trust. Lifeguard personnel should scrupulously avoid any conduct that might compromise the integrity of themselves, the Capitola Lifeguard Service, or the City of Capitola, whether on or offduty.
Conduct by off-duty employees shall not interfere with the duties of on-duty personnel nor reflect negatively on the City and or Service.

Any deviations shall be in the interest of the employee and/or public’s safety and, if possible, receive prior approval from a supervisor.
100.5.3 OBEDIENCE TO LAWS
Service personnel shall not willfully violate Federal, State, County, and City law/ ordinances. 100.5.4 CHAIN OF COMMAND
The Service, like most paramilitary organizations, utilizes a “chain of command” for communications such as issuing orders and making requests. This system requires employees to make all formal communications with their immediate supervisor. If the communication has to go further, that supervisor will take up the matter with the next level of supervision or direct the employee to do so. Supervisors at all levels must be able to control the actions of all personnel 14 Item 7 B.
Capitola Lifeguard Service
Capitola Seasonal Lifeguard Policy and Procedures Manual City of Capitola Seasonal Lifeguard Manual Page 5 of 12 under their supervision. These principles do not apply to the exchange of information. Although orders must flow through the chain of command, members of the organization may directly communicate with each other to ask for or share information. There may arise an occasion in which it will be necessary to deviate from the chain of command system. In such instances, it will be the employee’s responsibility to justify their actions. 100.5.5 DUTY TO FOLLOW ORDERS

The receiving employee shall relay such information in a complete, unbiased manner. That supervisor may or may not disregard the previous order. 100.5.6 TREATMENT OF OTHERS
Employees shall conduct themselves in a manner that will foster the greatest harmony and cooperation with other employees. The use of threatening or insulting language with other employees or the public is prohibited. Employees shall not intentionally antagonize any person with whom they contact. They shall treat all persons with courtesy and respect.
Additionally, employees shall not willfully subject any person or animal to dangerous or cruel treatment. Violation of this policy can result in disciplinary actions up to and including termination. 100.5.7 TRUTHFULNESS
Personnel shall not intentionally make false statements, verbally or written, or when questioned or interviewed.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 11, 2023
From: Police Department
Subject: Annual Military Equipment Use Report
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution renewing Chapter 2.60 of the Capitola Municipal Code, Capitola Military Equipment Use Policy 709, and finding that the annual Military Equipment Report complies with the standards of approval outlined in Government Code Section 7071(d).
Background: Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (codified in Government Code §7070, et seq.) requires legislative bodies to adopt ordinances approving military equipment use policies. Adopting such policies was required before law enforcement agencies could continue to engage in activities related to the use of “military equipment” as defined in the Government Code. The Capitola Police Department has “military equipment” in its inventory and engages in critical public safety activities in coordination with other local jurisdictions.
Pursuant to AB 481, on April 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1051, adding Chapter
2.60 to the Capitola Municipal Code (CMC), which approved a military equipment use policy for police services and included an inventory (report) of the City’s military equipment. The Government Code and municipal code require the City Council to conduct an annual review of the Military Equipment Use Ordinance and Policy and vote on whether to renew the Ordinance and Policy. As explained in more detail below, the Government Code also requires an annual review of the military equipment report.
Discussion: The proposed resolution (Attachment 1) would confirm that the City Council has reviewed the Capitola Military Equipment Use Ordinance (Attachment 2), the Capitola Police Military Equipment Use Policy 709 (Attachment 3), and the annual military equipment report (Attachment 4). As required by Government Code §7071(e)(1) and CMC 2.60.030(F):
The City Council shall review any ordinance that it has adopted pursuant to this section approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to the Brown Act.
On April 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1051 implementing CMC Chapter 2.60 as well as the Capitola Police Military Equipment Use Policy 709, which are attached hereto as Attachments 2 and 3, respectively.
The Police Department is responsible for ensuring that all provisions of Government Code §7071 and §7072 and CMC Chapter 2.60 are met. The City Council is required by law to complete an annual review of the ordinance and policy and has the opportunity to renew it or make any necessary changes.
Policy 709 approves the continued use, by authorized and trained personnel, of equipment currently in the Police Department’s inventory when the use is necessary to maintain safety.
Policy 709 also allows continued collaboration with other law enforcement agencies in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the City when exigent circumstances require a swift response.
The Department works closely with other local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies on police-related matters, including safeguarding the public’s welfare and safety, working on regional task forces, conducting training exercises, providing mutual aid, and responding to emergencies. In exigent circumstances, there is sometimes the need to deploy military equipment from or lend military 25 Item 7 D.
equipment to outside entities to promote the safety and security of the community. When military equipment is used under exigent circumstances, the proposed ordinance requires prompt reporting on the use to the City Council.
In addition, pursuant to Government Code §7071(e)(2) and CMC 2.60.050, the City Council shall determine, based on the annual military equipment report (Attachment 4), whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards of approval outlined in §7071(d) and CMC 2.60.030(D). The standards for approval are set forth below. Staff believes that Council can make the required findings because:
1. Authorizing the use of military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. The acquisition and use of this equipment is part of the Capitola Police Department’s overall approach to Critical Incident Management, Use of Force, De-Escalation, and public safety. The equipment will enable department members to properly respond to both planned and unplanned events efficiently and effectively.
2. The proposed Military Equipment Use Policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties by ensuring required reporting, the opportunity for community engagement and feedback, and transparency and oversight regarding the acquisition and use of the specified military equipment in the City of Capitola.
3. If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
4. Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time of the use.
Fiscal Impact: There would not be any new, unplanned direct fiscal impacts to continuing the use of equipment already in the Department’s inventory or continuing to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, including in mutual aid circumstances. The maintenance costs of existing equipment are within the Department’s budget. Additional equipment sought, as identified in the annual military equipment report (Attachment 4), is accounted for within the Department’s adopted budget.
There will be staff time associated with compliance, annual review, reporting, and community engagement meetings, all of which are required pursuant to applicable provisions of the Government Code. Staff plans to hold a community meeting on May 17, 2023, at 5 PM to go over the annual Military Equipment Report.
Environmental Analysis: Pursuant to California Public Resources Code § 21065 and the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines § 15378, there is no possibility that this ordinance will have a significant impact on the physical environment and is not a project as defined under CEQA.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 11, 2023
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Capitola Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Improvement Project Recommended Action: 1) Approve the plans, specifications, and estimate for construction for the Capitola Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Improvement Project, Phase 2, and authorize Public Works staff to advertise for construction bids; and 2) authorize Amendment 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol in the amount of $133,000 for concept design and engineering for the Wharf Rehabilitation Project, Phase 2.
Background: The City has continually inspected, maintained, and repaired the Capitola Wharf (Wharf) since the County of Santa Cruz transferred ownership of the Wharf to the City of Capitola in 1979. The Wharf was subsequently renovated in 1982 and 2002. In 2015, the City commissioned a Condition Assessment and Resiliency Study which has led to the ongoing Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Improvement Project (Wharf Project). An abbreviated timeline of the development of this project is below. 2015 In November 2015, the City Council directed staff to prepare a detailed condition assessment and begin long-term planning for Capitola Wharf. The City contracted with Moffatt & Nichol Engineers to identify immediate issues with structural integrity and options for pile replacement strategies.
The focus of those tasks was to make the Wharf less vulnerable to storm actions or piling breakage and to inform and strategize goals for a future Wharf resiliency project. 2016 In February 2016, the City Council accepted the Moffatt & Nichol report on the structural condition of Capitola Wharf that included options for making the Wharf more resilient to storms and other natural elements. The City Council directed staff to return with a cost estimate and a ten-year plan of improvements, and authorized Moffatt & Nichol to evaluate widening the wharf to improve resiliency.
In November 2016 voters approved the Measure F sales tax to, amongst other goals, protect the wharf and beach from storms and rising sea levels.
2017 In September 2017 the City awarded a contract to Moffatt & Nichol for the concept design and engineering for Measure F funded projects, including wharf improvements. The initial phase focused on conceptual design. Under the first phase of the scope of work, Moffatt & Nichol completed survey investigations, held two public stakeholder meetings, developed options and cost estimates, and identified environmental constraints that could impact the projects. 2018 In June 2018 the contract with Moffat & Nichol was amended to include preliminary design of the wharf improvements. To prioritize expenditures, the City Council directed staff to place the wharf building designs on hold and develop a more in-depth cost evaluation for wharf improvement alternatives. The City Council asked that the alternatives look at the longevity of the wharf and buildings at the current height as well as a raised height alternative allowing for greater protection against potential increased storm surge and sea level rise. Alternative construction materials (wood vs. concrete) were also evaluated.
In October, the City Council received the Capitola Wharf Project Alternative Report and formed a sub-committee (Wharf Group Subcommittee) to evaluate options presented. 2019 In June 2019, the City Council directed staff to proceed with design and permitting of widening the trestle portion of the Wharf to provide increased strength and resiliency. This action defined the scope of the current Capitola Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Improvement Project. 58 Item 8 A.
Council determined that the current project would not include raising the head of the wharf or replacing the leased buildings. Instead the City decided to utilize fiberglass piles in the Wharf Project that can be extended in the future to accommodate raising the head of the wharf. 2020 The Wharf sustained damage in the winter of 2020 and several piles were replaced.
The Planning Commission approved the Design Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Wharf project on June 6, 2020. The Commission conditioned the project to require that staff return with final plans for approval.
In June 2020 the City was awarded $1,900,000 in grant funds from the California State Coastal Conservancy (CCC) for the Wharf Project.
2021 In May 2021, the City Council directed staff to address existing failing piles in advance of the Wharf Project. The scope of the Wharf Phase 1 Project repaired the steel piles at the head of the wharf and the wharf structure underneath the restaurant where two piles were lost in the previous winter.
2022 A notice of completion was issued for the Wharf Phase 1 Project in January 2022. Phase 2 of the Wharf Project was postponed, as staff was awaiting information on potential federal funding.
In December 2022 the City was awarded $3,500,000 in grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Wharf Project. 2023 During the storm event on January 5, 2023, the Capitola Wharf sustained significant damages to both the midspan and head of the structure, including damages to decking, trestle, piles, lighting, and stairways. The Wharf remains closed to the public.
Discussion:
Project Description
A reduced set of plans for the Wharf Phase 2 Project are included as Attachment 1. A full set of plans and the specifications are available for review in the Public Works Department. The scope of the Wharf Phase 2 Project does not include ancillary design improvements anticipated to be fundraised for in the coming months. Ancillary design improvements are currently being developed, will be presented to the City Council for approval, and constructed in coordination with the Wharf Phase 2 Project.
The primary purpose of the Wharf Phase 2 Project is to add resiliency to the most vulnerable portion of the Wharf that has sustained the most critical damage in the past. This is achieved by widening the trestle portion of the Wharf and completing structural repairs throughout.
Expansion includes a new composite pile and timber structure expansion area. The new expansion area widens the trestle 16 feet, for approximately 458 feet, to match the first 85-foot-long portion of the trestle at the foot of the Wharf (Figure 1). Approximately 120 15-inch composite (fiberglass) piles are to be added as part of the expansion.

Figure 1. Overview of Wharf Project Improvements
60 Item 8 A.
Existing deteriorated Wharf elements will also be repaired and/or replaced as needed. Maintenance and repairs include:
Repairing/replacing damaged creosote treated piles
Placing fiberglass jackets around steel piles
Replacement of timber decking
Replacing pile caps and stringers
Relocation of utilities
Secondarily, the Wharf Phase 2 Project improves public access on the Wharf (Figure 1). The widened trestle provides two separate travel areas, improving public access and safety by reducing pedestrian and vehicular conflicts. Public access is additionally enhanced with the construction of two new restroom facilities for beach and Wharf users. Restroom improvements include the construction of a single restroom at the head of the Wharf (Portland Loo) and a multiple-room restroom at the base of the Wharf (Exeloo). The Portland Loo is a standalone, ADA compliant, single occupant public toilet consisting of stainless steel posts, panels, louvers, roof, interior and exterior LED lighting, and toilet. The interior includes a hand sanitizer dispenser, lockable 2-roll toilet paper dispenser, and baby changing table. The exterior includes a hand washing station.
Figure 2. Portland Loo single occupant public toilet
The Exeloo triple cubicle restroom is steel framed with a reinforced concrete base and fiber cement exterior, with decorative cladding. Each cubicle consists of a ceramic tile interior, auto flush toilet, and touch free wash basin and hand dryer. Two of the three cubicles are ADA accessible, one of which contains a baby changing table.

Additional public use and access improvements include:
A replaced security gate on the trestle
Relocation of the decorative Wharf gate at the foot of the Wharf near the shore Installation of bird nesting deterrents
Replacement of railing to meet current safety standards 62 Item 8 A.
The Wharf Phase 2 Project will also repair damages sustained to the Wharf during the storm event on January 5, 2023. These damages were generally centered on the midspan and head of the structure; including damages to decking, trestle, piles, lighting, and stairways. The widened trestle will mitigate damage sustained to the midspan of the Wharf in the future. The pile work completed in the Wharf Phase 1 Project prevented more substantial damage to the head of the Wharf.
Figure 5. Damage sustained to Wharf in January 2023
The plans also include several optional improvements (add alternates) for elements of the Wharf that are in fair condition and do not require immediate repair or replacement and may be included or excluded from the project scope based on bid costs. This includes additional pile replacement or jacketing and replacement of electrical utilities. While it is ideal to address these improvements with the Wharf Phase 2 Project to achieve maximum quantities of scale, they are not essential for the repair and safety of the Wharf at this time.
A public hearing was held on the Wharf Phase 2 Project at the June 4, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. The Commission approved the Design Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration with the condition that the two bathrooms, entrance and security gates, and finish of the pile exteriors be brought back to the Planning Commission for review. Staff presented the final plans and received unanimous approval for the Wharf Phase 2 Project from the Planning Commission on May 4, 2023 with the following conditions/recommendations:
1. Due to Planning Commission concern with industrial appearance of Portland Loo, the City shall review alternatives for public restrooms at the time that either building at the head of the Wharf is rebuilt/remodeled, including consideration to remove the Portland Loo.
2. At the time that either building at the head of the Wharf is rebuilt/remodeled, the City shall incorporate waste enclosure into the design for the dumpster. 63 Item 8 A.
3. The Portland Loo shall be installed with minimal logos and future enhancement of the exterior shall be reviewed by the Arts Commission. The bottom of the Portland Loo shall be modified to shield the feet of the occupant from public view.
4. The Public Works Department and City Council shall consider alterations to the security gate, entry gate, and restroom at the head of the Wharf if there is opportunity during the bidding and/or construction of the Wharf Phase 2 Project.
5. The Project shall consider alternative full exteriors for the Exeloo restroom structure for increased compatibility.
Based on these conditions and recommendations, Staff proposes bidding the project as currently specified. Prior to the construction of the restroom facilities modifications will be evaluated as specified in the above conditions. Staff will explore the modification and/or improvements to the entry gate prior to final relocation. Staff does not recommend removal of the security gate from the Project at this time in consideration of the current building tenants and past illicit activity which necessitated the construction of the gate.
Schedule
Upon receiving authorization to bid, staff will advertise a notice to perspective bidders with an anticipated contract award date in Summer 2023. Construction may begin after contract award, however it is anticipated there will be a lead time for materials that may result in a construction start time in the late summer or early fall. Construction will take eight to nine months, with an estimated completion date in Summer 2024. Staff will be providing updates to the City Council and community on the progress of the project.
Moffatt & Nichol Contract Amendment
In 2017 the City awarded a contract to Moffatt & Nichol for the concept design and engineering for the Wharf, Flume, and Jetty Improvement Projects. The original total cost estimate for Moffatt & Nichol’s engineering contract for Wharf improvements was $948,000 to $1,285,000, to be completed in phases.
Under the first phase of the scope of work, Moffatt & Nichol completed survey investigations, held two public stakeholder meetings, developed options and cost estimates, and identified environmental constraints that could impact the projects.
The City entered into a second contract with Moffatt & Nichol in 2018 to include permitting and final construction documents for the Flume and Jetty Projects and continued development of the design and permitting for Wharf improvements. This contract was amended in 2021 to include securing all remaining regulatory agency permits, final design of the wharf structure, and construction support.
Additional work outside of the originally anticipated scope of the amended agreement was incurred due to revisions and additional permitting necessitated by damages sustained to the Wharf in January 2023.
Staff recommends the approval of an additional contract amendment (Attachment 2) for construction support and project closeout.
Execution of this final amendment would result in a total engineering, permitting, and design cost (soft costs) of approximately $1.1M for the Wharf, Flume and Jetty Projects, as detailed below, approximately 13% of the anticipated construction cost of $8.9M. This is within the typical range of a major capital project.
Table 1. Moffatt & Nichol Wharf Project Costs
Tasks Year Costs
Conceptual Plan 2017 $183,100
Preliminary Engineering 2018 $454,000
Final Engineering and Permitting - including revisions 2021 $351,300 Construction Support (Proposed amendment) 2023 $133,000 64 Item 8 A.
Total Costs $1,121,400
Fiscal Impact: The engineer’s estimate for the base bid for the Wharf Phase 2 Project is $8.5M, inclusive of $1.0M due to storm damage. The sum of all bid alternative items is estimated at $400k. Therefore the total engineer’s estimate for the complete project is $8.9M. A contract will be awarded based on bid values of the lowest base bidder and add alternates will be included as the budget allows. The removal of add alternates, as detailed above, will not affect the overall success of the project.
Funding for construction of the Wharf Phase 2 Project comes from several sources. The City was awarded grants for this project from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in 2020 for $1.9M and HUD in 2022 for $3.5M. The City’s insurance claim payout from storm damage is estimated at $1.0M.
The remainder of the funding for this project is budgeted from Measure F funds. The overall Capitola Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Improvement Project has expended $1.6M in soft costs and Phase 1 construction.

CEQA: In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Wharf Phase 2 Project developed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The IS/MND determined that the proposed Project would result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, mitigation measures are proposed that would reduce any potentially significant impact to less than significant levels. As such, an IS/MND is deemed to be the appropriate document to provide the necessary environmental review and clearance. A Notice of Determination (NOD) for the project environmental clearance was filed at the San Cruz County Recorder’s office in June 2020.
In compliance with the National Environmental Quality Act, as required for all HUD-assisted projects, the City completed an additional environmental review in December 2022. The project qualifies for a categorical exclusion per 24 CFR 58.35(a), and subject to laws and authorities at §58.5.: (a) Historic properties, (b) Floodplain management and wetland protection, (c) Coastal Zone Management, (e) Endangered species, (g) Air quality, and (i) HUD environmental standards.
This project has obtained the following permits required to construct the Wharf Phase 2 Project United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Permit (IP) 2020-00076 Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) 401 Water Quality Certification 34420WQ13 California Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit CDP – 3‐20‐0431 65 Item 8 A.

Subject: Request for Contract Modification for Wharf Project Engineering Services Dear Jessica:
We are writing to request a modification to our existing agreement dated September 28, 2017 (Purchase Order 2019-25) to increase the not to exceed amount by $133,000. Although we have budget left, we anticipate that we will exhaust that budget before the project is complete. Some of the factors to consider are extended schedule and unanticipated requests for services that we have provided:
o Schedule Expanded -Original schedule was 2017 to Mid 2019-2.5 years. It is projected to be complete in mid 2024 -7 years.
o Wharf project split into 2 packages. We were asked to prepare an early bid package to address immediate needs to repair the steel piles and broken piles that occurred under the restaurant. o Storm Damage-The damage to the Wharf in Jan 2023 required addition effort to quantify and document this damage to facilitate assistance from FEMA.
Our request is based upon our projections as follows:
Task Effort ($)
Finalize Bid Package 9,800
Bid Support 19,400
Construction Support 193,800
Sub Total 223,000
Budget Remaining (90,000)
Requested Increase 133,000
Sincerely,
MOFFATT & NICHOL

Agenda Report
Meeting: May 11, 2023
From: Community Development Department
Subject: 930 Rosedale Avenue Cabrillo Mobile Home Park Update Recommended Action: Receive staff presentation.
Background: In 2011, the owner of the Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates Park located at 930 Rosedale entered a long-term lease with park residents (Attachment 1). The lease set the monthly base rent per space at $475 with an annual increase in an amount equal to the percent of increase in the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period ending at least 120 days prior to the date of each such increase, as compared to the 12-month period prior. The lease expires on May 31, 2023.
On February 28, 2023, the residents of the park received a letter from the park owner stating that a rent increase would take effect on June 1, 2023. The current space rent is $641 per month. The notification letter explained that rent would increase to $1,000 per month.
After receiving the rent increase notification, the Cabrillo residents formed an HOA and hired Attorney Bruce Stanton to assist in the lease negotiations.
On April 13, 2023, the City Council authorized the Mayor to sign a letter of support of Assembly Bill 1035, which proposes a statewide limit on mobile home space rent increases. At that same Council meeting, Council Member Brooks requested an update on the rent increase at Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates Park.
Discussion: Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates Park is located at 930 Rosedale Avenue and includes 67 mobile home spaces. The HOA estimates that more than half of the current residents are low-income, with annual income less than 80% of Santa Cruz County Area Median Income (AMI). A three-person household making less than $112,300 annually are considered low-income. The City does not have any data specific to household incomes for residents of the park. The residents of the park own their mobile home coaches but lease the space in the park from the park owner.
The park is located between Hill Street and Kennedy Lane. The majority of the homes are accessed through Hill Street, with eight spaces accessible through Kennedy Lane to the north. The mobile home park is owned by Viera Enterprise, who owns a handful of properties throughout Santa Cruz County.
As previously mentioned, the current lease was established in 2011 at $475 with an annual increase of an amount equal to the percent of increase in the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period ending at least 120 days prior to the date of each such increase, as compared to the 12-month period prior. The current space rent is $641. On February 28, 2023, the park owner notified the park residents that rent would increase to $1,000 on June 1, 2023.
Over the past month, Community Development Department staff have been meeting with Cabrillo HOA representatives on a weekly basis. During the meetings, the HOA updates City staff on the status of efforts regarding the lease. Current lease negotiations are underway. To date, the residents have formed an HOA, completed an internal survey of residents, and hired Attorney Bruce Stanton to assist in the lease negotiations. Park residents met with the park owner on May 2, 2023.
City staff has provided information on available resources and programs which may assist park residents, including:
Legal resources available to Capitola residents;
Mobile home resources including Santa Cruz County Mobile Home Commission; 87 Item 8 B.
Available rental assistance through the County of Santa Cruz administered by Families in Transition (FIT). This funding/contract is available through December of 2023; State resources including the Manufactured Housing Opportunity & Revitalization Program, or MORE, a state revamped mobile home program with $100 million in funds to assist parks in rehabilitation and direct acquisition; and
Non-profit resources which could assist in the acquisition of the park. City staff consider this the best long-term solution to ensure affordability. To date, the park owner has not expressed interest in selling.
Fiscal Impacts: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

Agenda Report
Meeting: May 11, 2023
From: Community Development and Public Works Departments Subject: City Hall Needs Assessment and Alternatives Analysis Recommended Action: Authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposals for a City Hall Needs Assessment and Alternatives Analysis Report.
Background: Capitola’s City Hall and Police Station are located at the gateway to the Capitola Village at 420 and 421 Capitola Avenue, respectively. City Hall and the Police Station are located within the same building. The greater City Hall site includes the Capitola History Museum, City Hall, Police Station, Police Annex, and the adjacent Lower and Upper Pacific Cove public parking lots. The entire site is approximately seven acres.
City Hall and the Police station are older structures that are nearing a stage where they will require significant investment to maintain their functionality. Both buildings are smaller than typical given the current staffing and needs. All structures on the seven-acre site are located in the floodplain. In 2011, the Police Station and portions of the lower level of City Hall flooded. The adopted City Council goals for FY22-23 included $50,000 to study long term City Hall options.
In January 2010, a study was completed using funding from the State of California Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to assess reuse options for the Capitola City Hall site and adjacent Pacific Cove Parking lots. The study addressed potential alternatives for physical site redevelopment, market analysis at the time for possible alternative uses, and alternative sites for location of City Hall functions, future ownership alternatives for the site. At the time, there was some concern that the study had been developed without a high levels of public input. The current RFP is structured to help the City better understand current circumstances on the site and provide multiple opportunities for public input prior to drafting alternatives.
During the Budget Workshop held on March 1, 2022, the City Council identified the City Hall Needs Assessment as a goal and allocated $50,000 within the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget to assess options for City Hall and the Police Station.
Discussion: The Request for Proposals (RFP) is comprised of two phases with separate deliverables.
The first phase is the City Hall Site Needs Assessment. Following completion of phase one, the second phase of the Alternatives Analysis will be initiated at the direction of the City Council.
Phase one includes completion of an existing conditions report for the site and projections for future staffing and facility needs. This report will include an overview of the existing site and structures, a visual assessment, a breakdown of the current uses, a functionality analysis, a qualitative analysis of the current site’s advantages/disadvantages, and an evaluation of the environmental constraints and hazards.
Deliverables from this phase will include:
1. Site Description (including City Hall, Capitola Museum, Police Station, Accessory Structures, and Lower and Upper Pacific Cove Parking Lots);
2. Existing Conditions Report;
3. 20-Year Projections; and
4. Summary of Findings.
Staff intends to present the results of phase one to the City Council, at which time, the City Council will be asked whether or not to proceed with phase two.
101
Item 8 C.
Phase two involves identifying goals for the future City Hall by working with the City Council, members of the public, and staff. This will include a presentation from the consultant at both a community meeting and a City Council meeting. This phase of work will also identify possible future City Hall options for the City to consider, and an evaluation of how those options meet the identified goals. Deliverables after this phase will include:
1. Consultant attendance at a community input meeting
2. Consultant attendance at two City Council meetings
3. Alternatives Analysis Report
The tentative project schedule for the first phase is as follows:
RFP Released May 15, 2023
Proposals Due July 21, 2023
City Council approval of Consultant Contract August 2023 Complete phase one City Hall Site Needs Assessment December 2023 Presentation to City Council January 2024
The second phase will be completed within nine months of City Council direction to initiate phase two.
Fiscal Impact: The adopted FY 2022/23 Budget includes $50,000 for the City Hall Needs Assessment and Alternatives Analysis. Staff will evaluate proposals to determine whether existing funding will be necessary and, if needed, present options to the City Council when a proposed contract for this work is brought to Council for consideration this summer.

II. INTRODUCTION
The City of Capitola invites proposals from qualified firms to prepare a City Hall Site Needs Assessment and Alternatives Analysis. In case of a joint venture proposal, a primary lead consultant shall be identified. The City will not accept a proposal as responsive if it covers only a portion of the requested Scope of Work.
Interested consultants shall prepare separate costs estimate based upon the services requested in this RFP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Each phase shall be bid at a firm, fixed price with the only variable cost being additional community meetings and public hearing beyond those outlined in the scope. Additional community meetings and public hearings shall be bid on a per-meeting cost with remote and in-person options. One consultant will be selected to complete both phases.
The deadline for submitting proposals is July 21, 2023, at 5:00 P.M.
III. BACKGROUND
The City of Capitola is a small, 1.6 square-mile seaside community located along Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz County. Soquel Creek generally bisects the community in a northwest-southeasterly direction, with residences and community and regional-serving commercial uses to the west of the creek, and a mixture of residences and small shops and businesses along the east side of the creek.
Capitola was originally founded in 1869 as California’s first seaside resort. Incorporated as a city in 1949, the village area remains California’s oldest coastal resort and includes one of the region’s most active beaches. Most of the growth in Capitola occurred in the 1970s as the community annexed surrounding land and residential growth accelerated.
Capitola’s City Hall and Police Station are located at the gateway to the Capitola Village at 420 and 421 Capitola Avenue, respectively. City Hall and the Police Station are located within the same building. The greater City Hall site includes the Capitola History Museum, City Hall, Police Station, Police Annex and the adjacent Lower and Upper Pac Cove public parking lots. The entire site is approximately seven-acres.
City Hall and the Police station are older structures that are nearing a stage where they will require significant investment to maintain their functionality. Both buildings are smaller than typical given the current staffing and needs. All structures on the seven-acre site are located in the floodplain. In 2011, the Police Station and portions of the lower level of City Hall flooded.
In 2004, the City completed the Facilities Masterplan which included a needs assessment for current and future 15-year projections (Attachment 1). Then in 2010, the Capitola City Hall Site 105

Reuse Study was completed (Attachment 2). The two studies are included for informational purposes only as background information.
IV. SCHEDULE
There are two phases with separate deliverables. The first phase is the City Hall Site Needs Assessment. Following completion of the City Hall Site Needs Assessment, the second phase of the Alternatives Analysis will be initiated at the direction of the City Council.
The City Hall Site Needs Analysis must be completed by EOY 2023. This will allow the City Council to understand existing conditions and needs prior to mid-year budget review. The consultant’s proposed schedule will be an important consideration when evaluating proposals. The City’s tentative schedule for the first phase is as follows:
• RFP Released: May 15, 2023
• Deadline for RFP Questions July 10, 2023
• Proposals Due: July 21, 2023
• Consultant Selection: July 2023
• Contract Negotiation & Approval: August 2023
• Notice to Proceed: August 2023
• Completed City Hall Site Needs Assessment December 2023 • Presentation to City Council January 2024
The second phase will be completed within nine months of City Council direction to initiate phase two.
V. SCOPE OF SERVICES
There are two phases included in the request for proposals. Proposals must address the two phases independently with scope and pricing. The following list of tasks are to be completed by the consultant:
Phase 1. Facilities Need Assessment
Step One. Existing Conditions. Complete an existing conditions report for the site. The existing conditions report will include an overview of the existing site and structures, a visual assessment of the existing structures, quantitative breakdown of current uses within existing structures and relative floor area, analysis on the functionality of the buildings for the purpose they serve relative to accepted architectural standards for workspaces and community meeting space, qualitative analysis of current site’s advantages/disadvantages, and environmental constraints and hazards.

Step Two. 20-year Projection. Develop projections of future staffing and facility needs utilizing standards for office space and workstations. Identify staffing and space needs projections for the next 20 years. Staffing forecasts shall be based on a number of sources, including new or expanded City programs and functions, projections for housing growth, and the 5-year Capital Improvement Program.
At the time of receiving the Facilities Needs Assessment, the City Council will be asked whether or not to proceed with Phase 2 to complete an Alternatives Analysis.
Phase 2. Goal Setting and Alternatives Analysis
Step Three. Goal Setting. Based on the findings of the Facilities Needs Assessment, work with City Council, members of the public, and staff to identify goals for the City Hall Site. During this step, the consultant should plan to present at one City Council meetings and host a community input meeting.
Community Meeting. The purpose of the community input meeting is to provide the public with the findings of the City Hall Facilities Needs Assessment and gather input from the public on future goals for the City Hall site. Discussion and ideas for goals may be broader than those identified in the Facilities Needs Assessment. Consultant proposal should detail strategy for attendance and community engagement. Consultant will be expected to lead the public outreach effort and produce all necessary displays and presentations.
City Council Meeting. The purpose of the City Council meeting is to identify goals for the City Hall Site. Consultant will summarize the findings of the community outreach as an attachment to the City Council staff report. During the meeting, the consultant will present a broad list of potential goals for the City Hall site and work with the Council to narrow the goals down to direct the alternatives analysis.
Step Four. Alternatives Analysis. Utilizing the needs assessment, City Council goals, and best practices, the consultant will draft an alternatives analysis report. The alternatives analysis report will include at a minimum the following: findings of the City Hall Facilities Needs Assessment, summary of public input from community meeting; council goals for the City Hall site, site description(s); at least three alternatives for the site(s); and a recommendation. The draft alternatives shall problem solve existing issues and guide the City toward the identified goals. Each alternative shall include a written description of the alternative, a conceptual site plan, quantitative data on breakdown of area per proposed use/function, cost estimates, and qualitative analysis of alternative strength and weakness. The deliverable for step four is a 107

EXPLORATION OF CAPITOLA CITY HALL SITE USES
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SITE DESCRIPTION
This Study explores potential re-use options for the Capitola City Hall site and the adjacent Pacific Cove Parking Lot. The City Hall site is 40,500 square feet (or just under one acre) and is currently occupied by the City’s administrative offices, City Council Chambers, a Community Room, the Capitola Historic Museum, 28 parking spaces, and the Police Department. The Pacific Cove Parking Lot is approximately 70,000 square feet (or 1.5 acres), and has 234 public parking spaces. The two sites together comprise 2 ½ acres, owned by the City of Capitola, currently occupied by public uses near the heart of Capitola Village.
The goal of this Study is to examine possible alternative uses for the two combined sites to best utilize their strategic location near the Village, taking into account the City’s economic development goals and other community priorities. This Study also examines issues surrounding the options for moving City civic functions to another site or rebuilding them at the current City Hall site as part of an overall site redevelopment.
Please note that this Study, funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic Development Program, is limited to a review of the City Hall/Pacific Cove Parking Lot sites, and does not include options for the adjacent city-owned Pacific Cove Mobile Home Park site.
This Study addresses a number of issues regarding the City Hall site and Pacific Cove Municipal Parking Lot, as outlined below.
1.2 STRATEGIC LOCATION NEAR VILLAGE
The combined City Hall and Pacific Cove Parking Lot site is in a vital strategic location adjacent to Capitola Village, and has the potential to offer important economic revitalization to current Village businesses and uses.
Thousands of visitors come to Capitola Village every year from all over the country and the world, and Capitola has been named one of Sunset Magazine’s top five small ocean towns in the nation. This means high seasonal levels of traffic and parking shortages, but does not always translate into vibrant economic activity. In fact, in recent years Village businesses have seen their real-dollar sales decrease, sometimes dramatically.
The seasonal nature of beach retail is a hardship for many of businesses. And while vacancy rates in the Village have remained low, businesses have turned over at a relatively high rate in recent years. Although the Village remains a significant tourism destination, its retail stores have underperformed. In particular, patronage by Santa Cruz area residents, which could address the seasonal nature of Village retail, remains an untapped market. The shortage of parking convenient 136
Item 8 C.
2 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
to the Village area and the limited availability of visitor lodging accommodations are key concerns that need to be addresses as a part of any economic development plan for the area.
1.3 UNDERUTILIZED CITY HALL AND PACIFIC COVE PARKING LOT SITE The City’s 2005 Economic Development Strategic Plan identified the current City Hall site as underutilized. The 40,500 square feet site is occupied by a two-story structure of 10,500 square feet, plus 900 square feet for the museum and historic cottage, which creates a building footprint that occupies about one-quarter of the usable property. A significant portion of the City Hall site is currently used to provide 28 surface parking spaces in front of the building. These parking spaces are used mainly for City Hall-related activities and parking for the Police Department.
The Pacific Cove Parking Lot site provides 234 surface parking spaces. A more efficient use of the site could include a parking structure with a greater number of spaces and improved accessibility and connection to the Village area.
1.4 POTENTIAL FOR VILLAGE GATEWAY
At present the current City Hall site does not provide a clear sense of entry or connection to the Village from Capitola Avenue, and accessing the Village from the Pacific Cove Parking Lot does not provide a comfortable pedestrian pathway. New buildings, reconfiguration of the parking lot, and potentially new uses on the City Hall site could help establish a gateway, providing a sense of clear arrival in the Village, and using design and pedestrian elements to connect the parking area more distinctively with the Village. New development has the potential to offer synergy with existing businesses, and provide new customers as well as increasing the number of employees working in the area.
1.5 VILLAGE PARKING SHORTFALL
The Pacific Cove parking lot provides parking for City Hall visitors and provides the largest parking area serving the Village, however it still falls short of providing the spaces that the Village needs.
The 2008 Capitola Village Parking Study identified a minimum shortfall of 176 parking spaces needed to adequately serve current uses. In addition, any new development in the Village (such as the proposed new hotel at the Capitola Theatre site), must address how it will provide parking to serve the new development while maintaining or improving the Village’s existing pedestrian orientation and design. Addressing the existing parking shortfall and providing parking for new development is critical to improving the economic outlook of Capitola Village. A reconfiguration of the Pacific Cove Parking Lot could be developed to accommodate these needs.
1.6 CITY’S FIRST RESPONDERS IN FLOODWAY
Another critical issue facing the City is that the City’s first responders are currently located in the floodway. This includes the City’s Police Department, and the independent Central Fire District Capitola Station. In the case of a flood emergency, Capitola as a coastal town may not be able to 137
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 3
respond at full capacity. Any reconfiguration of the current City Hall/Pacific Cove Parking Lot site would require that the City’s Police Department and City Hall offices be either moved to a different site, or raised up on the City Hall site out of the floodway, or moved to the higher Pacific Cove Parking Lot portion of the site.
2. POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT PHYSICAL CONFIGURATIONS
There are a variety of physical configurations that could be considered for the City Hall and Pacific Cove Parking Lot site:
2.1 NEW MULTI-STORY BUILDING AT CURRENT CITY HALL SITE
The City Hall site could be reconfigured with a new two to three story building, designed to stay within the current Village urban scale. This new configuration could potentially create 30,000 to 60,000 square feet of usable space. The space could be allocated for retail, restaurant, office and/or hotel. The building frontage could be scaled back to accommodate additional public space or gateway elements incorporated into the site plan. A well-designed space could provide an important linkage with the rest of Capitola Village.
2.2 PARKING STRUCTURE AT CURRENT PACIFIC COVE PARKING LOT As noted above, the Capitola Village Parking Study determined that a minimum of 176 spaces are required to meet existing needs. The Study also noted that in order to address heavy Village traffic congestion on peak tourist days, traffic engineering standards recommend that that parking supply be designed to be 85 percent occupied at peak parking demand, so that cars do not circle Village streets looking for parking. This would require a high of 390 spaces to adequately meet existing Village demand.
In addition, parking requirements for any new development at the City Hall site, plus development in the Village such as on the Esplanade or a Hotel at the Capitola Theatre site, should also be considered when designing a new structure. The City’s Parking and Traffic Commission recently concluded that with potential new development in the Village, a future parking structure at the current Pacific Cove lot should provide at least 560 and as high as 1034 spaces, including replacing the existing surface 234 parking at Pacific Cove and the 28 spaces in front of City Hall. Please see the table below for a breakdown of the Commission’s estimate.

A multi-level parking structure that is designed to be above and below grade could meet these requirements, and could be essentially hidden from public view. The structure could be built at the Capitola Avenue grade level, with at least two stories below the current grade of the Pacific Cove surface lot. Depending upon the redevelopment configuration, a three-level parking structure could provide 670 to 690 parking spaces, while a four-level below-grade structure could have 900 to 920 spaces.
2.3 ADDITIONAL BUILDING OVER NEW PARKING STRUCTURE
The top of parking structures can provide a surface for buildable area. A new parking structure at the current Pacific Cove Parking Lot site could potentially have one or two additional stories, each of which could provide an additional 30,000 to 35,000 square feet of development space.
The air space over the parking structure could be used for civic functions, freeing up space on the current City Hall site for other uses, or sold or leased to a developer. The revenue generated by a sale or lease of the space above a parking structure could be used to help pay for other site improvements or buildings that would be constructed as part of the project. Alternatively, if some civic functions were located above a parking structure, it may increase the amount of space on the current City Hall site which could be devoted to revenue-producing uses.
Regardless of which option is considered, there are challenges associated with any development on the top of a parking garage, which should be carefully considered. For example, any development above a parking garage could increase construction cost for the parking garage, any use above a parking garage could generate potential long term operation and maintenance conflicts, and finally construction, above a parking structure could create issues with building height.
Infrastructure Considerations
The site is connected to the utility infrastructure needed to support the viable alternative uses for the site. A potential issue for reusing the site would be the water consumption for a hotel. The Soquel Creek Water District has limitations on the amount of new water usage that can be hooked up, and likely would require implementation of conservation measures elsewhere.
3. ALTERNATIVE USES FOR RECONFIGURED CITY HALL AND
PACIFIC COVE PARKING LOT
3.1 HOTEL USES
Historically, Capitola has been an undersupplied lodging location. While the current regional market conditions have shown a widespread decline in lodging throughout the Monterey Bay area, the historical market trend has shown a continual rise in room rate revenues and occupancy rates consistently above 60 percent.

Capitola Village is a world famous visitor destination, yet the lodging options for the beach area remain very limited. Attracting a hotel development to the area represents an essential part of enhancing the Village as a viable visitor destination. Visitor accommodations are directly tied to the viability of other visitor-related retail industries and helps transition the visitor population from strictly day visitors to longer-stay visitors and off-season visitors. In conjunction with a hotel development, the front of the site could be used as space for a lobby area or meeting space.
Such a hotel development could also potentially include conference facilities, which is another underserved market in Santa Cruz County. Combined hotel and conference facilities could profoundly revitalize Capitola Village.
A parking structure constructed at the Pacific Cove parking Lot site could be combined with a hotel development occupying one or two stories above the structure. Building on top of the parking structure would yield about 35,000 square feet of usable area (about 40 to 50 rooms) per story for a hotel development. Alternatively, it is possible that a master plan for the City Hall site could be developed which creates a footprint for a smaller hotel fronting on Capitola Avenue.
3.2 COMMERCIAL/RETAIL USES COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING VILLAGE
BUSINESSES
The mix of businesses in Capitola Village largely consists of eating places and specialty retail stores that primarily serve the visitor market. In addition, the spaces that these existing businesses use are largely small-scale with the frontages directly up to the sidewalk. Private businesses potentially brought to the City Hall site could serve to complement the existing uses, and not include large-format retail stores. The space could also be used for restaurants. The first-floor building frontage could provide space for about 8,500 to 11,000 square feet of commercial space. This would be enough space for at least four new retail/commercial stores at the ground level. Additional floors above can also accommodate commercial space. The space is also large enough to include entertainment uses.
4. OPTIONS FOR LOCATION OF CITY HALL FUNCTIONS
A fundamental issue in deciding how to reuse the City Hall site is whether or not the City Hall functions will remain at the site or move to a different location. There is also the issue of how to best move first responders out of the floodway.
The existing City Hall building is 10,500 square feet, and houses the City administrative functions, Police Department, and the City Council chambers. The City Museum and Historic Cottage occupy an additional 900 square feet. The City’s Master Facilities Plan estimates that an additional 3,000 square feet are required in order to accommodate the space needs of the Police Department and Information Systems, for a total required to replace existing uses at the site of 14,400 square feet.
140
Item 8 C.

The City’s recreation programs are operated out of the Jade St. Community Center. In addition, other special districts operate facilities within the City but outside of the City Hall site, such as the Central Fire District’s Capitola Station and the Capitola Library. The City is currently exploring options for a new 7,000 to 9,000 square feet public library, and is actively considering possible sites. If a new library was built as part of an upgraded Civic Center, then a total of 21,400 to 23,400 square feet would be required.
The Central Fire District, which currently operates the Capitola Fire Station across the street from City Hall, is also currently considering a new location outside of the floodway. A new Fire House would require 6,700 square feet, according to the Fire Chief, but would have to be carefully located in terms of fire truck access.
4.1 REUSE EXISTING SITE FOR AN UPGRADED CIVIC CENTER
As noted above, a new 2 ½ story building on the existing City Hall site could be approximately 30,000-60,000 square feet. This would provide enough space to accommodate the existing City Hall functions, a public library, and also other commercial/retail uses that generate revenue.
Given the site’s size and the existing scale of the Village, a new facility could vastly improve the character of the Capitola Avenue entryway to the Village, and at the same time create a permanent home for the City’s important civic functions. The site could accommodate a new Library as well as a redesigned Museum that could incorporate the historic cottage and bathhouses. The City’s Police Department and City Hall offices could be located on upper floors, with secondary access onto Bay/Park avenues, out of the floodway.
If City Hall stays at the existing site, then the overall project cost of a new City Hall would likely be reduced because the City would not have to purchase land. However, utilizing the existing site, or space above a parking structure, would limit the amount of space that could be leased out for commercial activities on the site. Due to street access issues, it may be difficult to locate a new fire house as part of a new Civic Center at the existing City Hall site.
4.2 OFF-SITE RELOCATION (LAND PURCHASE)
If the existing City Hall site is sold or leased to a private developer, then the revenues from those transactions could be used to fund the purchase of land for a new civic building. However, suitable development sites for a new City Hall are in short supply in Capitola, and the development of a new City Hall building would still need funding for both land acquisition and construction.
Possible sites for relocation considered during the course of this Study, include the Capitola Inn site (which was recently sold), the Union Bank site at Capitola and Bay Avenue, and the McGregor lot. Depending upon the location, it may be possible to include the new Library and/or a new fire house as part of a Civic Center at another off-site location. 141
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 7
4.3 OFF-SITE RELOCATION (LEASE EXISTING OR BUILD-TO-SUIT SPACE) Another option for relocating City Hall would be to move into an existing or build-to-suit office space. In general, it is preferable for municipal entities to own, rather than lease, office space.
However, many jurisdictions do lease office space from the private sector. Often this is done on an interim basis, while new facilities are under development, however there are examples of City’s that lease space for a city hall on a long term basis. The basic disadvantage a permanent lease option is that, over the long term, such a system will likely involve greater cost.
Nevertheless, the City could still sell the existing City Hall site and explore more permanent options in the meantime. The disadvantage to this approach is that this adds lease/rent expenditures that the City does not currently incur. Possible sites for leasing a City Hall facility include a new facility at the Grimes property or utilizing current vacancies in the Nob Hill shopping Center. Such an alternative may preclude a combined civic space with the Library and/or the Fire District.
5. FUTURE OWNERSHIP ALTERNATIVES FOR CITY HALL/PARKING
LOT
There are a variety of possible future ownership arrangements for the current City Hall site and Pacific Cove Parking Lot which provide a wide range of potential options depending upon the type of development envisioned.
5.1 SELL EXISTING CITY HALL SITE
Under this option, the City would sell the City Hall parcel outright. Any development option would need to ensure that the parking needs for the Village are met, in addition to accommodating the spaces needed for any new development proposed for the site.
5.2 SELL AIR RIGHTS TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL USES
The City could sell the air rights over a potential future Pacific Cove parking structure. While this option would help raise capital for a new parking structure and/or City Hall, it would increase construction costs for the parking structure, could complicate the entitlement process for a parking structure, and would need to be carefully considered to avoid long-term maintenance and operational conflicts.
5.3 RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF SITE AND PARTNER WITH DEVELOPER The City could also structure a partnership in which the City retains ownership over the site, and partner with a developer to share the costs of certain elements of the site development. This could take the form of a long-term ground lease whereby a private entity was entitled to revenue from specific project components in exchange for up-front funding to build the project. 142
Item 8 C.
8 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
5.4 RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF SITE AND DEVELOP SITE
Under this scenario, the City would directly contract with builders to develop the site. Options under this scenario would range from using the entire site as a new civic center complex to developing a new civic center along with other purpose-built structures which could be leased to private entities for income generating activities. These income-generating activities could include options that would augment the City’s economic development strategies such as hotel/retail/theater/private sector meeting space.
5.5 RETAIN PARTIAL OWNERSHIP OF SITE FOR CIVIC CENTER AND SELL A
PORTION OF SITE
Under this scenario, the City would develop a portion of the site for the City Hall functions, and sell a portion of the City Hall parcel to a development partner who would build some combination of commercial/hotel/retail uses. The income from the land sale could help to finance building the new civic buildings.
6. PRELIMINARY COST FOR CITY HALL & PARKING STRUCTURE
PROJECT
6.1 CITY HALL
The current City Hall municipal functions at the site (City Hall offices, council chambers, community room, Museum and Police Department) would require a total of 14,400 square feet.
A new Library would require a minimum of 7,000 square feet, for a total rough estimate of 21,000 square feet required for a new Civic Center including Library. Assuming construction costs of $250 to $440 per square foot, the cost to build a new Civic Center and Library could range from $5.25 million to $9.24 million.
Additional costs would be incurred if the City opts to relocate City Hall off-site to a location that requires site acquisition. The average transaction value for non-residential properties in Capitola averaged more than $4 million per acre in 2007 and 2008, while the countywide average was less than $2 million per acre.
Reconstruction of City Hall on the existing site or relocating to a leased space would require ongoing lease payments of at least $288,000 annually during reconstruction, or on a semipermanent basis. This would support existing functions with 14,400 square feet. That lease payment would likely increase over time as commercial lease rates change. The lease payments would further increase if space for a library is included.
6.2 PARKING STRUCTURE
Based upon the costs of the recently-constructed 510-space Cabrillo College Allied Health Parking Structure, a new parking structure would cost $17,000 to $22,000 per space. Assuming a 143
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 9
new structure would need to accommodate approximately 800 spaces, the total cost could range from $14 - $18 million. Those figures will change as construction costs adjust over time. The City’s Parking and Traffic Committee is currently reviewing funding options for a new parking structure.
7. NEW CIVIC CENTER PROJECT FUNDING OPTIONS
City hall relocation projects in other jurisdictions have utilized many different approaches.
For Capitola, certain approaches are likely more feasible than others.
7.1 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
Development impact fees are fees which can assessed on new development projects to offset that project’s marginal impact on public facilities. They cannot be used to resolve existing infrastructure deficiencies that are already present independent of a new development.
Development impact fees are typically most effectively used in rapidly growing communities that have a high volume of development activity. Because Capitola is largely built out with no large undeveloped land tracts, development fees would not likely generate a large enough pool of revenues for a large new civic project.
7.2 GRANTS
Grant programs can be used for a variety of different activities associated with civic development projects. Pre-development planning activities can be funded using existing grant programs (such as those from CDBG and the EDA-Economic Development Administration) include feasibility studies, engineering and architecture studies, and business attraction and marketing plans.
Grants programs can also be used to help fund certain types of infrastructure and public facilities.
A combination of different grant programs can be potentially used for different parts of a new City Hall project, to augment other sources of funding. It may be possible to receive substantial grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Homeland Security to move the Police Department out of the floodway. In addition, grants are available from CDBG and EDA to fund public facilities such as parking structures.
Potential available from grants are listed below.
CDBG/EDA Pre-Development Grants: $100,000 to $300,000. Construction Grants (City Hall-Police): $2 to $3 million EDA Construction Grants (Parking Structure): Up to $2 million CDBG Construction Grants (Parking Structure): Up to $2 million
7.3 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FUNDING
The use of tax increment to finance civic and infrastructure projects is common practice within redevelopment project areas. However, the City Hall site is not within an existing redevelopment project area, so the use of these funds would be limited to development on the site that directly 144
Item 8 C.
10 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
benefits the redevelopment project area. In addition, California Community Redevelopment Law prohibits the use of redevelopment agency funds for acquisition of land, design and other costs associated with the construction of city hall facilities.
The Capitola RDA has entered into a contract with the County of Santa Cruz to provide up to $2.6 million fund for a new Library. If the new Library were combined with a new City Hall project, then the amount available would depend upon the location of the project, and the extent to which the project benefits the project area.
Potential available from RDA funding: (RDA Library Fund): Up to $2.6 million.
7.4 SALE OF PROPERTY
As noted above, the City could consider the sale of excess real property associated with a development of a new city hall facility. That could include either air rights to space above a parking garage, or a portion of the property that fronts Capitola Ave. Such a sale of property would need to be carefully considered in the context of a master plan for the site, in conjunction with long term City goals, and needs. In addition, if a new library facility were to be incorporated into a new civic center, the sale of all, or a portion, of the current library site could generate onetime revenue to help build a new civic center/library.
Potential available from the sale of existing property: $1 million to $6 million.
7.5 IN-LIEU PARKING FEES
Instead of requiring each individual new development project to provide on-site parking, an “inlieu” parking fee program would allow developers to pay a fee instead of providing parking onsite. This fee could be used for the construction of a centralized parking structure. The advantages of this type of program include consolidation of parking supply, improvement of project design, increased fiscal feasibility of redevelopment projects, and funding for public parking facilities. An in-lieu parking fee program can allow for alternative land uses on land previously used for parking, and provide additional parking options for the reuse or redevelopment of existing significant buildings. Pedestrian activity is improved with the removal of curb cuts as small individual parking lots are consolidated to larger parking areas These programs in other jurisdictions charge fees that range from $5,000 to $60,000 per space.
Fee amounts are usually based on a percentage of the actual cost of providing a parking space, which is based on land and construction costs. Potential new development in the Village that could benefit from an in-lieu fee program including the new Village Hotel at the Theatre site.
To establish an appropriate in-lieu fee amount, it would be necessary to prepare an In-Lieu Parking Fee Study, to prepare an estimate of actual costs to build a public parking space, including land and construction costs, and to adopt a long term plan to provide additional parking spaces.
Potential available for Parking Structure from in-lieu fees: Up to $3 million. 145
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 11
7.6 GENERAL FUND
Civic center and public facilities projects often receive at least a portion of the funding from the general fund. This can be in the form of direct payments from a fund balance, or the issuance of debt.
General Fund Balance
Some jurisdictions set-aside money over time to accumulate the funding necessary for a major civic improvement. While this strategy may seem prudent, it is important to consider several factors. First, construction costs tend to increase faster than the City’s return in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). As a result, it can take a long time to save the resources necessary to build a large project. And, while current city residents bear the cost of saving for the new facility, they are unable to enjoy the benefits of the planned civic improvements. Given the timelines involved in accumulating the resources necessary for a new civic building, this has the potential to raise equity issues.
General Fund Debt
Some jurisdictions choose to finance major civic projects through the issuance of debt. Local government’s ability to issue tax exempt debt can often make timely construction more financially advantageous; since construction costs tend to increase faster than the interest rate on tax exempt debt. Some forms of municipal debt require voter approval, such as General Obligation Bonds.
Other forms of debt, such as Certificates of Participation or a loan from the State’s Infrastructure Bank, may be authorized by City Council. Often, prior to issuance of such debt, specific revenue streams are designated to pay debt service. This can include new revenue streams or an existing revenue source.
Potential available for City Hall from issuance of debt: TBD
7.7 NEW REVENUE SOURCES AND DEBT
The issuance of most forms of debt will require the identification of a revenue stream to service that debt. In general, each $1,000,000 dollars of debt requires approximately $58,000 per year in interest and principle payments, assuming 4.0 percent interest rate with a 30 year term1 . As a
result, if 50 percent of the cost of a new City Hall were debt financed ($2.5 to $4.5 million), the City would need to identify a revenue stream of between $143,000-258,000/year (assumptions: a 20,000 SF facility, $250-440/SF, 50 percent of total cost as debt).
Some of the possible revenue streams for such a debt payment are listed below.
1 Current State IBank rate is 3.25%
146
Item 8 C.
12 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
Lease
A portion of the existing City Hall site could be leased to provide an on-going to service debt.
The value of such a lease would depend on whether the city constructed the new facility, or entered a ground lease with a developer who would build their own structure.
Parking Meter Revenue
A portion of new parking meter revenue generated through the development of new meter payment options (e.g. credit cards), or through the development of new parking spaces (e.g. parking structure), could provide on-going revenue to service debt. However, this revenue stream may also be used as a mechanism to help finance the parking structure.
Transient Occupancy Tax
Some cities have been able to obtain voter approval for transient occupancy tax increases.
Capitola’s current TOT is 10 percent. A 2.0 percent increase in TOT is projected to generate approximately $300,000 annually with the completion of the new Fairfield Inn on 41st Avenue and the proposed hotel at the Theater site.
Other New Taxes
Cities have often used special financing districts to finance the construction and operation of facilities such as community centers and libraries. A public facilities district can be utilized for Capitola, however creating the district would require a voter referendum and a 2/3 majority vote. 147
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 13
IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
1.1 MAKE APPROPRIATE REUSE OF THE CITY HALL AND PARKING LOT SITE A
CITY PRIORITY
The City owns a valuable piece of real estate outright, in an excellent location, which has the capacity to offer significant civic and economic development opportunities for the City of Capitola. Given current desire to solve the Village parking shortfall and to provide new economic development opportunities to make up for declines in other parts of the City, reuse of the City Hall site could be one cornerstone of revitalizing economic development within Capitola in a way that enhances the feel of the Village and assists current businesses.
1.2 PRIORITIZE A PARKING GARAGE FOR SITE REDEVELOPMENT
Given the pressing need for additional parking within Capitola Village for existing uses, and for any new development at the City Hall site or in the Village, including a parking structure as part of any City Hall site reuse will provide an important contribution to Capitola for decades to come.
1.3 LOCATE CITY HALL FUNCTIONS AT CURRENT SITE
With good urban design a redeveloped City Hall/Pacific Cove Parking lot site could significantly enhance the entry into the Village, while creating enough space for City Hall functions and offering economic development opportunities for a new hotel/retail/restaurant and/or office use. Given the small number of alternative sites in the city appropriate for a new City Hall, and the fact that the City owns the current site, this is the most appropriate use of the City’s resources. Civic functions could be located at the current City Hall site, or alternatively, above a new parking structure.
The amount of usable space that could be developed on the current City Hall/Pacific Cove Parking Lot site is more than enough to support an expanded City Hall in addition to a library, with space left over that the City can lease out. Keeping City Hall at the redeveloped site would still require finding an alternative for moving the fire station out of the floodway.
1.4 PRIORITIZE HOTEL AS A NEW USE AT THE REDEVELOPED CITY
HALL/PARKING LOT SITE
Attracting a hotel development to the area represents an essential part of enhancing the Village as a viable visitor destination. Visitor accommodations are directly tied to the viability of other visitor-related retail industries and helps transition the visitor population from strictly day visitors to longer-stay visitors and off-season visitors. Such a hotel development could potentially include meeting rooms and conference facilities, which is another underserved market in Santa Cruz 148
Item 8 C.
14 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
County. Combined hotel and conference facilities could profoundly revitalize Capitola Village and help to meet other economic development goals of the City. The timing for this development should be considered in context of the proposed hotel at the Capitola Theatre site.
A hotel at the redeveloped City Hall site could potentially be combined with a new parking structure, with the hotel occupying one or two stories at the top level. If the hotel was located above the parking structure it would yield about 35,000 square feet of usable area–a space large enough to accommodate 40 to 50 hotel rooms per story. In this scenario, the front of the City Hall site could be used as space for a lobby area or meeting space. Alternatively, civic uses could be located above a parking structure, and the space fronting Capitola Avenue used for a hotel/conference facility.
1.5 PRIORITIZE COMMERCIAL USES COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING VILLAGE USES A portion of the front of the City Hall site could offer space for private businesses to complement the existing uses, rather than large-format retail stores. The space could be used for restaurants, retail, theater, or private-sector meeting room space. The first-floor building frontage could provide space for about 8,500 to 11,000 square feet of commercial space. Additional floors above could also accommodate commercial space, if they are not used for City Hall functions.
The space is also large enough to include entertainment uses.
2. IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 FOCUS SITE DEVELOPMENT TO CREATE GATEWAY TO CAPITOLA VILLAGE In addition to potentially providing new parking areas and space for businesses and/or City functions, any reconstruction of the City Hall site also presents an opportunity to redesign the physical design layout of the areas leading into Capitola Village. The current configuration of the site presents no sense of arrival or clear entry into the Village, even though many Village patrons use the Pacific Cove parking Lot.
Careful site planning can create an entry and clear physical transition into the Village district.
This gateway becomes more important with the construction of a parking structure, because more of the Village patrons would now use the site as their path into the Village. The gateway concept can also be accommodated by setting aside space at the front of the City Hall site for a public plaza, public art, or other design elements.
2.2 HAVE A CLEAR PLAN IN PLACE FOR TRANSITION/CONSTRUCTION PHASE Any major reconstruction of the City Hall site will have a potentially disruptive effect during the construction phase. Whether the City Hall functions stay on the existing site in a new building, or locate to a different location off-site, the City needs to ensure that administrative functions can continue during any transition period. This would likely entail leasing space in the interim. 149
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 15
In addition to City administrative functions, any construction on the City Hall site will also displace the parking spaces currently used by Village patrons. The potential loss of 234 parking spaces during the construction period could create significant short-term impacts on existing businesses. Planning for how to accommodate Village patrons during the construction phase will be essential to minimizing the negative impacts that could occur.
2.3 COMPLETE AND INCORPORATE LONG-RANGE PLANS FOR THE PACIFIC COVE
MOBILE HOME PARK SITE
Any final decisions regarding the City Hall/Pacific Cove Parking Lot sites will need to consider any long-term plans for the City-owned Pacific Cove Mobile Home Park, which is adjacent to City Hall. Creative options for the mobile home site could add to the design options available in the development of the two sites that are the subject of this study.
2.4 PURSUE GRANT FUNDING FOR A DETAILED DEVELOPMENT/ FINANCING PLAN The City should apply for grant funding to explore more detailed redevelopment possibilities for the City Hall site, including architectural renderings, analysis of parking structure costs and a financing plan. Possible grant sources include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant program, California Emergency Management Agency Flood Control grants, and Federal Homeland Security grants.
3. TARGET INCOME GROUP BENEFIT
The grant funding for this project has a directive to promote job generating activities, and specifically to identify economic opportunities for workers in the Target Income Group (TIG).
Developing new business spaces on the existing City Hall site would result in the creation of at least 91 new jobs with the development of 8,600 square feet of retail commercial space and a 90- room hotel.
Of the total jobs that the site development can potentially create, about 82 of those positions will benefit workers in the Target Income Group (TIG). The TIG occupations are typically in sales, clerical, service, agriculture, and production. The majority of the positions created by the new business activity at the City Hall site would be in services and sales positions. The remaining TIG jobs are largely in clerical positions.

APPENDIX A: MARKET ANALYSIS
A.1 CAPITOLA EMPLOYMENT BASE
Capitola continues to have very strong concentrations of businesses and jobs in retail trade, and visitor-serving industries such as accommodations and food service. Based on the latest available data at the city level, the estimated 2007 employment in Capitola totals 6,669 jobs, which represents a slight decline from the 6,871 jobs in 2004. This also runs contrary to the trend in Santa Cruz County, which had a slight job increase during that same period.

A.2 REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
Between 1992 and 2007, the job growth in Santa Cruz County continued a trend where it did not keep pace with statewide trends, as shown in Table A-2. While California’s job base expanded by nearly 26 percent, it only grew by 3.1 percent in Santa Cruz County. The region’s strongest performing industry groups were primarily related to tourism, construction, health care, and services. However, these job gains were offset by large losses in other sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, information, and management.
The more recent trend between 2001 and 2007 indicates that Santa Cruz County had a notable job decline of 5.1 percent, while the rest of California had 4.4 percent net gain in employment.
Preliminary totals for Santa Cruz County indicate that the employment between 2007 and 2008 fell by 2.1 percent, with job losses occurring across many industry groups, with hospitality, 152
Item 8 C.
18 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
entertainment, information, and financial services each declining by more than five percent, as the recession hit those sectors particularly hard during the current economic downturn.

A.3 ASSESSING REGIONAL ECONOMIC ROLES
As part of the 2007 Economic Development Strategic Plan, ADE assessed the roles that different economic sectors have within the regional economy by ranking the industries in Santa Cruz County on the basis of two key economic indicators—job growth and employment concentration relative to the State of California. The recent performance and economic roles for specific industries within the region helps to identify potential target industries and serves as one indicator of the types of businesses that have market potential for locating at the City Hall site. This section updates the findings from that study to include the employment trend data for 2005, 2006, and 2007. At the time of the analysis, the 2008 data was not yet available at a detailed three-digit NAICS code level shown in Tables A-4 and A-5. The economic roles based on these indicators fall into four categories, which are described as follows:
Growing Economic Base Industries: These industries have shown recent job growth and have an above-average employment concentration. They constitute the strength of the economy and represent opportunities for growth in other areas such as supplier industries.
Emerging Industries: These sectors have shown recent job growth, but still have a belowaverage employment concentration. These industries represent potential future growth opportunities because they have not yet accumulated a high concentration of employment.
Industries in this category could be considered attractive business attraction targets.
Declining Economic Base Industries: These industries have an above-average concentration of employment, but have shown recent job losses. They represent strong industries in a region that have shown some recent vulnerability and could be considered business retention targets.
Declining Non-Base Industries: These industries have shown recent job losses and have below-average employment concentration. They do not have an especially notable regional presence and do not have growth prospects as strong as the industries in the other categories.
Table A-4 shows the economic roles that various industries had between 1992 and 2007, while Table A-5 shows these roles using a shorter growth interval between 2001 and 2007.
GROWING ECONOMIC BASE INDUSTRIES
For the period between 1992 and 2007, the growing economic base industries were largely concentrated in visitor-serving sectors such as accommodations, recreation services, and food service. Other growing base industries included livestock, health care industries, transportation and warehousing, and some manufacturing sectors.
Because the overall employment base stagnated between 2001 and 2007, the range of growing economic base industries during this period was more limited. Most of the tourism related industries lost employment during this time. Other highly concentrated industries such as construction, health care, and some agriculture and manufacturing sectors continued to grow during this period.
155
Item 8 C.
Applied Development Economics, Inc. 21
Typically, growing economic base industries represent the strength of a region and the likeliest target industries. For the City Hall site, the performance of the tourism sectors is an important consideration.
EMERGING INDUSTRIES
Emerging industries are considered good business attraction and expansion targets because they represent future potential and could eventually transition into the leading economic base industries for a locality or region.
The industries in Santa Cruz County that showed employment growth between 1992 and 2007, but had not yet generated a high employment concentration include several manufacturing sectors, as well as transportation support, information services, financial services, professional services, educational services, and repair sectors. This represents a diverse group of potential industry targets for Capitola and the City Hall site in particular, based on the longer-term growth trends. When looking at the period between 2001 and 2004, the emerging industries comprise a narrower range that are mostly in manufacturing, information services, financial services, educational services, and repair sectors.
DECLINING ECONOMIC BASE INDUSTRIES
The declining economic base industries with above-average employment concentrations and job losses between 1992 and 2007 include food processing, management services, and crop production. However, the more recent short-term trend between 2001 and 2007 shows that several tourism-oriented industries lost employment and could be considered potentially vulnerable, even though the tourism trade had a net revenue increase during this time.
Despite these recent trends, including the potential effects from the current economic downturn, tourism industries will likely remain highly concentrated in Santa Cruz County, and a very important part of the Capitola economy. As the tourism sector recovers, it will likely remain a significant leading driver of the economy in Santa Cruz County.
DECLINING NON-BASE INDUSTRIES
The range of industries in the region with lower concentrations of employment and declining employment between 1992 and 2007 are generally in utilities, manufacturing, transportation, information services, rental services, waste management, and performing arts industries. Between 2001 and 2007, the declining industries also included sectors in financial services, professional services, and administrative and management services.
This is an important consideration for Capitola, in assessing the areas with the best opportunities for diversification. The job losses at the regional level have cut across several different manufacturing and information services sectors. The lower-than-average concentrations of these industries throughout Santa Cruz County indicate that pursuing these types of businesses might not work for the City Hall site and Capitola as a whole. 156

A.4 OFFICE MARKET
One of the early considerations for the City Hall site was assessing its potential as an office location. As noted in the 2009 41st Avenue Revitalization study, the office market in the Capitola market has held up very well despite the recession, and has a much lower vacancy rate than the countywide average.
However, there have been discussions about potential office projects on other sites, which would address the existing market demand for office space in Capitola. Moreover, Capitola Village’s existing economic role largely serves the visitor market, and adding offices to the City Hall site would not help to strengthen or expand upon that role. Only if space can be accommodated at the City Hall site after other options for other uses have been exhausted should offices be pursued.
As the recessionary conditions have worsened, the office vacancies have increased substantially in the Mid-County area, which potentially limits the near-term prospects for new office uses.
According to NAI/BT Commercial, the vacancy rate for office/R&D spaces in Mid-County stood at 7.7 percent in the 3rd quarter of 2009. This was a substantial increase from the 4.3 percent vacancy rate from one year earlier, although it still remains much lower than the 12.9 percent countywide average.2
It should be noted that these vacancy rates are higher than the rates previously reported because the data now combines R&D space with office space.
A.5 VISITOR MARKET
Capitola serves an important role within the Santa Cruz County tourism market, with Capitola Village as a common destination for visitors to the region. Visitor spending for the county as a whole totaled about $657 million in 2007.3 For the five-year period between 2002 and 2007, this visitor spending increased by an average of 1.7 percent annually in inflation-adjusted dollars.
This growth was largely driven by increased spending on accommodations and food service, the two largest spending categories for visitors. Retail sales by visitors during this period fell by an annual average rate of 2.0 percent.
The recession that began in late-2007 has impacted the tourism market as a whole, and that trend might show up when the 2008 visitor spending data becomes available for Santa Cruz County.
However, Santa Cruz County might also benefit from a trend towards vacations closer to home, due to its proximity to the Bay Area.
Even though Capitola Village constitutes a relatively small portion of the city’s overall retail sales, it is the primary visitor-serving asset. This specific role means that strong consideration should be given for the City Hall site to be used for expanding and serving the visitor market. Potential uses would include lodging, retail space, and restaurant space.

A.6 HOTEL MARKET
Although the regional lodging market has seen a decline in room occupancy, Capitola has historically been undersupplied, relative to its attractiveness as a visitor destination. In particular, the Village has a very limited supply of hotel rooms, and Capitola does not have any provisions for business travelers such as conference space. In addition, the boutique hotel market and highend markets remain unserved in Santa Cruz County. A new Fairfield Inn development along 41st Avenue is scheduled for completion in mid-2010. This hotel is targeted to business and leisure travelers.
In addition, the former Capitola Theatre site has been identified as a potential location for a hotel, which would help to meet a long-standing need in the Village. The City Hall site could also serve as a location for a hotel, especially if the configuration calls for meeting spaces and dining facilities.
For the Monterey Bay area as a whole, the occupancy rate has generally stayed above 60 percent on an annual basis since 2003, and the average room rates have steady increased every year.
However, for the year-to-date through July 2009, the occupancy rate for the region has dipped below 60 percent, and the average room rate has declined by about 12 percent.4 The feasibility
for developing new hotels will be lower than is typical for this market until the economy recovers and overnight visits increase.
The economic role of new hotel rooms in the Village would be twofold – first, it would expand the potential visitor base for Capitola Village, which has seen declining business revenues even as the countywide tourism economy was recovering. Second, it would support a substantial fiscal benefit to the City itself. Because the transient occupancy tax revenues are not shared with the County and other tax districts, the City stands to gain a much greater revenue return with an expansion in lodging.
A.7 RETAIL MARKET
The City’s retail base is largely dominated by the regional retail centers along 41st Avenue. These regional retail uses have been particularly hard hit by the economic downturn. During the last fiscal year, the overall taxable sales in Capitola declined by more than 15 percent.
The City Hall site would not be well suited to regional retail uses, but it might remain a suitable location for retail or food service uses that cater to the visitor market. The retail uses would be interconnected with and benefit from other potential activities at the City Hall site such additional parking capacity and hotel development.

CAPITOLA VILLAGE RETAIL TRENDS
The City Hall site serves as a primary gateway into Capitola Village, and currently provides most of the available parking spaces for the Village. Aside from the scenic beauty of the waterfront, the Village itself is primarily a destination for eating out, with restaurants and take out establishments generating about two-thirds of the total retail sales in the area. The food service market has also been a growing part of the regional visitor-serving economy. Other well represented store types in the Village include apparel stores and specialty retail.
Despite Capitola Village’s continued prominence as visitor destination, the retail sales have steadily declined since 2000 in real dollar terms.5 Even though the current economy downturn has also affected the Village, the sales decline between 2007 and 2008 was less than 5.0 percent.
This means that Capitola Village held its sales much better than the rest of the city did.

UPPER VILLAGE RETAIL SALES TRENDS
The Upper Village primarily serves as a destination for local-serving retail uses such as grocery stores and drug stores. The area also includes some unique specialty food stores and specialty retail establishments that potentially appeal to visitors headed towards the waterfront.
The Upper Village accounted for $61 million in retail sales in 2008. This is down by about 7.7 percent from the real dollar peak sales of $66 million in 2001. However, it represents a decline of only about 2.4 percent from 2007. As with Capitola Village, the Upper Village held its sales levels much better than the regionally oriented retail businesses elsewhere in Capitola. The largely local orientation of the Upper Village’s anchor stores likely helped to sustain the sales even during recessionary conditions.

APPENDIX B: ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS OF CIVIC
CENTER USES
B.1 SITE RELOCATION OPTIONS
If the City decides to relocate the existing City Hall functions to an alternate location, the options within the City of Capitola are relatively limited. This is because Capitola is largely built out with relatively expensive properties. In consultation with City staff, the project team assessed the potential for some properties that met the City’s needs.
These properties are listed as follows:
Capitola Inn site
Bay and Capitola Avenue corner site
Grimes/Redtree Upper Village property
McGregor site
CAPITOLA INN SITE
This 3.1-acre property is located at 822 Bay Avenue (APN 036-341-02) and currently occupied by the 56-room Capitola Inn. The site is in the Upper Village and somewhat secluded from the vehicular traffic along Bay Avenue. The hotel development does not occupy the entire parcel and there is significant vacant land on the premises.
The site acreage is large enough to accommodate these existing functions, as well as the 7,000 to 9,000 square feet needed for a library. Since the site is outside of the flood zone, it could also be used to accommodate the 6,700 square feet needed for a fire station.
This site was considered as a potential acquisition target for the City because the facility had fallen into disrepair and appeared to be used for residential occupancy. These factors significantly reduced the viability of Capitola Inn as a lodging option to serve the tourism market.
In addition, the large size of the lot meant that a City Hall facility could be constructed at a lower cost with no need for structured parking. Any underutilized parcel could also be further subdivided and sold off to help defray the site development costs.
In September 2009, the property sold for $5 million, which is virtually unchanged from the price that the property sold for back in 1999. At an average price of $1.6 million per acre, this sale amount was below the recent market value for other non-residential properties sold in Capitola, and about on par with the average for northern Santa Cruz County. This indicates either a sign of a weak market, or other factors such as ownership-specific issues that might have forced the sale for that price, or the relatively hidden location of the site. This recent transaction means that the site is likely no longer viable in the short-term for acquisition by the City, and will either continue in its current use or serve as the location for a future private development. 164

This 0.9-acre site is located at 601 Bay Avenue (APN 035-301-01). The parcel is currently used for a Union Bank branch. The site acreage is slightly smaller than the current City Hall site and is located at a highly visible street intersection.
The site acreage can accommodate the existing City Hall functions, as well as a potential library site, however the surface parking might not be sufficient to support a new City Hall and a library.
In this case, the site development would need to include underground parking, which increases the development costs.
This site was considered for acquisition because of its central location. However, it maintains a viable current use and the site is not currently on the market. The public records indicate that the parcel last changed hands in 2003, and has a current assessed valuation of $2.3 million.
GRIMES/REDTREE UPPER VILLAGE PROPERTY
This 0.5-acre site is located adjacent to the Nob Hill Food shopping center (APN 035-381-01).
The lot is currently vacant and has been actively considered by the current ownership for an office building. This site would not be an option for acquisition by the City, but would serve as a potential site for the City to lease office space, either on an interim or semi-permanent basis.
If a suitable building can be built on the site, then the existing City Hall functions could potentially be moved into that location. The location would not likely accommodate the library and fire station uses. The site could also be utilized as a space if City Hall is reconstructed on the existing site.
MCGREGOR SITE
This 4.3-acre site is owned by the City and located along McGregor Drive next to Highway 1.
The location is currently vacant and had previously served as a site for park-and-ride shuttles to the beach during the summer months.
The parcel is located in a heavily wooded area and a property survey done in 2007 found that only about one acre of the site is buildable.6
The site has been strongly considered for hotel
development, and the City has received interest from private developers. The site has also been the subject of public discussions for other public uses such as a skate park. Because of its remote location, the site is less effective as a City Hall site. In addition, the wooded terrain and proximity to New Brighton State Beach would potentially make for an interesting visitor destination.
The advantage to the site is that the City would not need to pay for acquisition costs. But, the disadvantages with the site’s remoteness and potential for other uses makes it less desirable as a site for relocating City Hall.

B.2 CIVIC CENTER CASE STUDIES
In order to help identify potential options for implementing a City Hall relocation and redevelopment project in Capitola, the project team contacted several small-to-medium sized cities that have undertaken their own civic center projects over the past decade.7 These projects entail a multitude of different directives and ways of financing these projects. This section contains a series of case studies that summarize the general characteristics of these civic center projects, and identifies the implementation actions taken to complete them.
RICHMOND CIVIC CENTER
The City Administrative and Hall of Justice buildings sustained earthquake damage and deemed seismically unsafe. The renovation project calls for a complete overhaul of these buildings, as well as improvements to the Civic Auditorium. The City staff has operated out of temporary leased facilities for the last five years, and anticipates completion of the Civic Center project in two years. The project has been delayed due to financial problems with the City. The total cost of the renovation totals about $100 million, and it was primarily financed with bonds.

CHOWCHILLA CITY HALL
Chowchilla recently relocated its new City Hall across the street from the old building. The new City Hall building originally operated as a furniture store, and after the furniture store closed it was renovated into a retail shell to accommodate a grocery store that never moved into the building. The site sat vacant for ten years until the owners put it up for sale in 1998. The City purchased the property for $425,000 in 2001 and extensively remodeled the structure. The process took longer than expected and City staff worked out of trailers for two years. The staff moved into the new 23,000 SF City Hall building in 2006.

The renovation project cost $6.2 million, and was financed by multiple sources, including bonds and RDA funds.
Private placement bonds utilize departmental repayment allocated on a per square-foot occupied basis. Revenue from quasi-governmental organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce also repay the bonds.
Redevelopment funds were used for offsite improvements such as parking lots, lighting, drainage, and landscaping. RDA funds cannot be used to directly build/renovate municipal facilities.
Developer impact fees made up a smaller funding source. The downturn in the economy reduced the availability of funds.
Enterprise funds were another smaller funding source.
The old City Hall (4,500 SF) became the new Parks and Recreation building, and façade improvements were added in order to visually link both buildings into a Civic Center campus.
Future improvements include parking facilities, removal of a frontage road, and remodeling of a court building.
The new City Hall was built to accommodate 50 years of growth. Two extra spaces (1,500 SF each) are available for lease. Currently, the only outside tenant is the Chamber of Commerce.
The City has also considered bringing Parks and Recreation into the new City Hall building so that they can lease out the old City Hall site in its entirety.

OAKLEY CIVIC CENTER
Oakley is a newly incorporated city that wanted to consolidate municipal services that previously spread across the city. The Civic Center project consisted of two phases. Phase I entailed construction of two 7,500 SF buildings, and required three years of construction. Phase II began as space in the new buildings started to fill up. The second phase consisted of one 15,000 SF buildings that would house the new City Council chambers and another 7,500 SF for city administration. This building opened in early-2008. The project also included construction of a “grassy knoll” outdoor park, and amphitheater.
The land was originally owned by the redevelopment agency, and they transferred the site to the City due to restrictions on RDA participation in building municipal facilities. The Civic Center project cost a total of $11 million, and was funded entirely by debt (certificates of participation) issued against pending development fees. The City has 11,000 homes that have been approved for construction but not yet built. The fees have been paid or have been borrowed against future payments. These fees are also sufficient to fund the upcoming Senior Center, Teen Center, and Public Library.
The City saved money on the project by going with a “design build” process in which plans are reworked on-site as construction happens. This avoids having to resubmit plans and re-estimate costs on multiple changes. This type of process is not often used in California.

RIPON CITY HALL
The City of Ripon embarked on its City Hall expansion project once the building became outdated and insufficient for their current needs. The project tripled the size of City Hall by expanding the existing building onto an adjacent lot already owned by the City. Once the new City Hall was completed, the old City Hall building was renovated for the Police Department.
The project was financed with savings from the general fund.

RANCHO CORDOVA CITY HALL
Rancho Cordova is a newly incorporated city near Sacramento. After incorporation, City staff had to use temporary facilities that they leased from the Fire Department. The planning process for the new City Hall took a long time with seven different plans submitted. Once the plan was selected, the City purchased the land and built a two-story 80,000 SF building. City departments occupy about 70 percent of the building, with the remaining 30 percent leased out to tenants such as the Chamber of Commerce and other community groups.
The City also built a second phase 15,000 SF building in which 50 percent of the space is currently occupied by outside tenants. The City intentionally built the facilities larger than needed in order to generate rent revenue and allow for future expansion. Both buildings are LEED certified, but the facilities manager is not aware of any tax breaks or subsidies that accompanied the effort.
The City Hall project was financed using a tax-free government loan. Conditions on this loan stipulated that only certain city organizations may occupy the building. However, soon after construction, the City refinanced, which removed the tenancy restrictions.

PATTERSON CITY HALL
Until the City of Patterson moved into their new City Hall, they had leased 1,800 to 2,500 SF of temporary space in a downtown storefront location for 10 years. The new City Hall was built on the former site of a historic hotel. When the hotel burned down, the City purchased the land and turned the site into open space when it could not afford to rebuild the structure. Seven years after purchasing the land, the City raised enough money to reconstruct the historic hotel as a new 3-story 4,000 SF City Hall. The façade is an exact replica of the former hotel.
The money for the project was raised entirely from facility impact fees on new development. The original project estimates had a cost of $3.5 million, but that cost eventually went up to $5 million. The cost increase resulted from the oddly shaped lot, and the desire to exactly recreate a historic façade with a modern interior and large basement. The choice of the architect was driven more by their ability to recreate the structure than their cost effectiveness.
The City feels that the costs could have been further kept in check if not for the construction occurring in the middle of a building boom in the Central Valley. As a result, the project only received two contractor bids. In slower economic conditions, the City likely would have received a higher number of bids.

PROPOSED LAKE ELSINORE CIVIC CENTER
In 2007, the City sponsored a design competition for a proposed $90 million civic center relocation project. This competition resulted in 21 entries and three designs selected as finalists.
The City intended for this project to serve as a showcase for green-building technologies, sustainable development, and historic preservation standards. The planned development would combine the post office and city offices under one roof.
However, the City shelved the process in November 2007 due to economic uncertainty and controversy over the designs that came out of the competition. The proposed financing plan would have incorporated future bond allocation, New Markets Tax Credits, the general fund, impact fees, other government contributions, and any other grants or contributions available to other sources.
More recently, the City’s redevelopment agency purchased a 7-acre site for $4.1 million. This site was acquired due to lower land costs, and the City intends to use for downtown redevelopment.
Potential uses still include a future civic center project. City and downtown association officials expressed support for the City continuing to acquire land parcels, especially in a down market, for future civic projects (not just the civic center).

DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
C.1 COST COMPARABLES FOR SITE ACQUISITION AND LEASING
COMPARABLE SALES PRICE
In order to ascertain some of the potential tradeoffs for different site acquisition and leasing options, ADE acquired the property transaction records for all of the non-residential properties that changed hands during calendar years 2007 and 2008 in northern Santa Cruz County (encompassing the area inclusive of Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, Capitola, and the adjacent unincorporated communities).
These property records indicate that the average non-residential property in the local area sold for approximately $1.5 million per acre, or $35 per square foot, as shown in Table C-1. The value of the acreage will obviously vary considerably by location and by use. Altogether, the cumulative acreage of these transactions totaled about 97 acres.
It should be noted that these transactional values include the value of the site improvements, which can vary considerably from site to site. Some transactions are more for the development potential of the land itself than for the building on the site, while others account for the income potential generated by the existing buildings on the site.

shown in Table C-2.8 Clearly this is substantially greater than the countywide average, and based on a much smaller sample of transactions.
However, as noted earlier, the Capitola Inn site (which is not included in these calculations) recently sold for $5 million, at an average price per acre of $1.6 million. This would price that property about on par with the average for the surrounding communities and well below what Capitola properties had been selling for.

SAMPLE OF ASKING PRICES (LEASE AND SALE PROPERTIES)
In early-2009, the project team identified the commercial property listings for northern Santa Cruz County. Because of how the listings were classified, the information typically given only included the building square footage, and did not commonly identify the site acreage. With this information, the typical sale price per square foot for non-residential buildings ranged from $208 to $400 per square foot.

In addition, the Capitola listing that was located inside the Village had an asking price of $43 per leased square foot, which is much higher than the city and county averages. If this asking price is reflective of the prevailing market demand, then it provides an indicator of how much more value the Village location adds to a building space.

C.2 POTENTIAL COSTS FOR DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
Considering the multiple development options for the City Hall and Pacific Cove parking lot site, there is also a wide range of potential costs that go along with them. In each case, the development cost itself carries an annual cost to finance the project. However, they also include other potential funding sources that can reduce the costs. This section provides a more detailed examination of the different costs and revenues that the City would need to balance as it considers different development, redevelopment, leasing, and relocation options.
PARKING STRUCTURE COST SCENARIOS
The development of the parking garage is potentially the most complex and expensive transaction that would be potentially proposed for the City Hall and Pacific Cove parking lot site. As noted in the introductory section, the existing parking shortfall and potential future needs would create sufficient demand for between 548 and 1,022 parking spaces.
The Pacific Cove parking lot could potentially provide most of these spaces with a three or fourlevel parking structure.9 For purposes of this analysis, the assumed parking configuration will include 800 parking spaces. An 800-space structure would create a building height comparable to the existing site elevations and leave additional air space for development on top of the parking structure.
As shown in Table C-5, the construction cost for a three-level parking structure would range between $12.7 and $17.6 million. These costs are based on different calculation methods. One method uses a standard benchmark cost based on a construction cost of $53 per square foot and
9 Based on site observation conducted by Mogavero Notestine Associates. 174
Item 8 C.
40 Applied Development Economics, Inc.
300 square feet per parking space, while the other cost scenarios are based on construction cost benchmarks of $17,000 and $22,000 per parking space.
Using debt financing, this project would result in an annual payment ranging from $728,700 to $1.1 million. This would be the maximum financial liability, assuming a 30-year term and 4.0 percent interest. It is unlikely that the City would move forward with this type of project using 100 percent debt financing.
Financial resources, aside from City revenues, applied for at the time of construction would potentially reduce the construction cost. These resources include construction grants from EDA and CDBG, and an in-lieu fee payment program.
The resources would also potentially include the sale of air rights over the parking structure for construction of an additional building. For a 35,000 square foot floor space, the analysis established a potential selling price of approximately $649,000. The value is based on the recent selling price for the Capitola Inn, and could be considered on the low side for Capitola.
With the potential construction cost reductions in place, and assuming the maximum amount can be procured from the grant sources, the remaining funding gap ranges between $4.8 to $9.7 million, with an annual payment that ranges from $307,300 to $677,000.
The City could address the remaining funding gap by drawing from parking revenues. The existing parking meter revenue fund accrues approximately $100,000 per year, which represents approximately 1/6 of the parking revenue from the Village. On average, parking meters in the Village generate about $3,000 per year. Parking meters in the Pacific Cove parking lot generate about $250 per year. Assuming spaces in the new parking structure generated revenue at the same rate as the current spaces in the Pacific Cove parking lot, a new 800 space structure would generate an additional $200,000 annually. The revenues will also vary depending on whether revenues can be increased with higher meter rates and going to an electronic payment system.
Assuming that the parking structure revenues are used to fund debt to build the parking structure, this would leave a potential funding gap ranging from $107,300 to $477,000 annually.
Additional revenues could potentially come from other sources. For example, attraction of hotel to the City Hall and Pacific Cove site could potentially generate between $219,000 and nearly $493,000 of transient occupancy tax (TOT) annually.10 If applied towards the debt service, this would potentially eliminate the remaining funding gap. In addition, implementation of a parking district could result in approximately $100,000 of additional revenue annually.
This scenario does not assume any costs for the annual operations and maintenance of the parking structure.
10 Transient Occupancy Tax calculation is based on attraction of 40 to 90 hotel rooms to the site, with an average annual occupancy rate of 75 percent and an average room rate of $200 per night. 175

Table C-6 shows the cost and revenue scenario for an 800-space parking garage that includes the cost reduction that would come from the sale of the City Hall site. This scenario assumes that the sale of the City Hall site would attract revenue of approximately $1.5 million. The scenarios that assume the sale of the City Hall site also presume that the City Hall functions will need to relocate off-site.
With the sale from the City Hall site added into the cost reductions, the annual payment ranges from $29,300 to $371,700.

NEW CITY HALL SITE BUILDING
As shown in Table C-7, the cost of constructing a 30,000 square foot building on the City Hall site would cost between $7.5 and $13.2 million. This building configuration assumes that City Hall functions would remain in the same location with a new building.
At 30,000 square feet, the building would have enough space to accommodate existing City Hall functions and a new library. With just the City Hall functions, about 15,600 square feet can be leased out, with 8,600 square feet available for lease if the library is included.
The annual payment for the building will range from $429,700 to $765,200, assuming no cost reductions and 100 percent debt financing.
Assuming that the ground floor space can be leased for about $37 per square foot (and remaining space leased for $19 per square foot), this would potentially bring revenue of $313,900 to $488,900 annually. This leaves a remaining gap ranging from a $59,200 surplus to a $442,300 payment annually.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW OFF-SITE CITY HALL
The scenario described in Table C-8 assumes that City Hall will relocate to an off-site location.
The development costs are similar to the existing site scenario described in Table C-7, except that it does not assume any excess building spaces for lease and includes potential site acquisition costs.
The construction cost will depend on the construction cost assumption and whether the new City Hall will include a library and/or fire station. For a 14,400 square foot building that only serves existing City Hall functions, the development cost ranges from $3.6 million to $6.3 million.
Adding the library increases the cost to a range between $5.4 million and $10.3 million. Adding the fire station uses bumps up the cost range to $5.3 million and $13.2 million.
Overall, the annual payment will range between $206,200 and $595,600, assuming no cost reductions and 100 percent debt financing.
Potential cost reductions include CDBG and EDA grants of up to $2 million, and the existing library fund of $2.6 million. It should be noted that the library fund only applies to those scenarios that include the library in the development, and this fund can only be used to the extent that the new library provides a benefit to the redevelopment area. The maximized cost reduction will range from $2.3 million to $4.9 million.
With these cost reductions in place, the annual payment gap ranges from $25,800 to $478,000 for the construction cost.
However, because the City does not currently own most of the potential sites for relocating City Hall, the development scenarios also need to include the cost for site acquisition. Naturally, the site acquisition cost will depend on where the site is located and how large a site the City acquires.
Using an assumption of $5 million for site acquisition, the annual payment gap increases to a range between $312,200 to $764,500.

CITY HALL LEASE OPTION
As another option, the City could elect to rent space for City Hall. Depending on the square footage, the annual lease payment would range from $288,000 to $602,000, assuming a lease rate of $20 per square foot. If City Hall is rebuilt on the current site, this expense would need to be added to the overall cost assumption.
