Hey y’all
The current HE revision is not going to pass. Change parking minimums from ‘required’ to ‘recommended’ on some of the AFFH parcels would solve a lot of problems. At least halve them.
The mall rezone is sƟll a mess. That property being shopped around means having a realisƟc plan there is essenƟal. It’s on our main transit stop which in the Reimagine Metro Plan is set to be a High Quality Stop again soon. Here we also suggest reducing parking minimums makes the project viable and goes a long way with HCD.
The YIMBY folks go overboard but much of their advice has merit in incremental doses. Let’s not need 3 tries like the openly anƟ housing jurisdicƟons.
Capitola YIMBY has ceased operaƟons. This is goodbye.
Good luck

5 Item 4 A.
To: Capitola City Council
Date: October 11, 2023
Subject: Agenda Item 8.B Citywide Housing Element Update Santa Cruz YIMBY advocates for abundant housing at all levels of affordability to meet the needs of a growing population in Santa Cruz County. We support sustainable growth, including along transportation corridors and activity centers and a commitment to lower Vehicle Miles Traveled by housing people near services and jobs.
The Housing Element is an opportunity for Capitola to address the housing crisis on its own terms. We want Capitola to have a compliant Housing Element that meets the 6th cycle RHNA, but more importantly, we want commitments to policies and programs that result in more affordable housing throughout the city.
Santa Cruz YIMBY provided detailed comments on the Housing Element drafts and had conversations with both Capitola's Community Development office and California Housing and Community Development (HCD). Our past comments are posted on our Housing Element webpage. There remain some critical changes to Capitola’s Housing Element in response to HCD’s letter.
Identify and address constraints on housing development, especially affordable housing.
Add to Program 1.4 a commitment to analyze the zoning and development standards in the Incentives for Community Benefits Ordinance, using the Mall land use study to modify the incentives.
● HCD’s comment: “Other Locally Adopted Ordinances – Incentives for Community Benefit: While the element provides some general information on the City’s Incentives for Community Benefit Ordinance, it should analyze the Ordinance’s impact on housing supply and affordability.“
● In Program 1.4, Capitola expands the application of Incentives for Community Benefit to more sites in the Sites Inventory. It has not incentivized any development where it already applies.
● The expected land use study for Capitola Mall can inform how to change the incentives in this ordinance and more broadly affect other mixed-use sites on the inventory.
Santa Cruz YIMBY - Capitola City Council - October 12, 2023 meeting
6 Item 4 A.
Expand Program 2.8 to analyze the zoning and development standards as constraints which affect economic feasibility of affordable housing development. ● HCD comment: “Upon a complete analysis of potential governmental constraints, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.”
● In 2021, after rezoning, Capitola completed an Affordable Housing Fee Feasibility Assessment which concluded that with current conditions, NO rental development pencils out: “Even without any inclusionary requirements or in-lieu/impact fee obligations, rental development appears to fall somewhat short of industry-standard return thresholds.”
● Capitola must look at these zoning and development standards as they affect affordable housing development. Capitola plans for 50% of units on nearly every parcel in the Site Inventory to be affordable for very-low or low income households to meet their RHNA.
Capitola can decrease processing time and costs for projects using Objective Standards
Add the use of Objective Standards in Incentives for Community Benefit Ordinance to Program 1.4
● HCD comment: “...the element should describe the process which applicants must go through to qualify for these incentives, including any discretionary hearings or standards that might apply. Upon this analysis, the element may need to add or modify a program, as appropriate.”
● The Incentives for Community Benefits Ordinance requires discretionary review by the Planning Commission and the City Council. We urge you to update the Ordinance to rely on Objective Standards for mixed-use residential developments. This will remove uncertainty and reduce project time and costs.
Ensure use of Objective Standards in any new overlay zones, including the Program 1.8 Religious Facility Housing
● The Housing Element includes development of housing on congregational sites, especially in the low-density eastern section of Capitola. We urge you to rely on Objective Standards for multifamily and mixed-use residential developments to remove uncertainty and reduce project time and costs.
Santa Cruz YIMBY - Capitola City Council - October 12, 2023 meeting
7 Item 4 A.
Capitola Mall
Provide more information to demonstrate the realistic development potential of the Capitola Mall.
● HCD Comment: “While the element provides information regarding the current uses on the Capitola Mall site, it must still describe the extent to which existing uses may continue to constitute an impediment to residential development….For example, the element could address existing lease agreements, easements or property conditions that may preclude residential development, whether uses will discontinue or how uses will continue through redevelopment, replacement parking and site planning consideration, potential phasing of the project, development on non-commercial portions of the site, and other factors that support the site’s redevelopment during the planning period.”
● The Housing Element does not (yet) include the likelihood of development during the 6th cycle, including feasibility, which uses will remain and timing. It focuses a lot on the history and past planning, but not on the current discussions, especially regarding affordability.
● The Capitola Mall parcels highlighted on the site inventory include all smaller commercial stores and interior of the mall which are integral to Mall operation.
Capitola has not provided an “analysis that demonstrates the extent to which existing uses constitute an impediment to residential development.” Add commitments to to Program 1.7 to facilitate and monitor the Mall project ● HCD comment: “Additionally, given the reliance on the Capitola Mall site to meet the RHNA, the element should include a program that commits to facilitating development and monitoring approvals of the projects (e.g., coordination with applicants to approve entitlements, supporting funding applications, expanding approvals, and monitoring of project progress, including rezoning or identification of additional sites, if necessary).”
● Program 1.7 currently focuses on the land use study and updates to the zoning code based on its findings. HCD offers language that can be an added objective to Program 1.7 to facilitate development and monitor approvals and progress of the Mall.
● The projected affordability of 50% low income is unrealistic and note that if the project misses this affordable target, Capitola has a daunting task to identify other sites under the No Net Loss law.
Santa Cruz YIMBY - Capitola City Council - October 12, 2023 meeting
8 Item 4 A.
Capitola must strengthen the commitment to transit-oriented development Replace the reactive language of Program 1.1 with a stronger, proactive program to pursue the Capitola Mall as a planned high-quality transit stop. ● Despite being home to the Capitola Mall Transit Center, Capitola lacks any current or planned high quality transit stops. In the 2040 MTP/SCS the Capitola Mall was identified as such a site, however, it was subsequently removed in the 2045 MTP/SCS.
● The Site Inventory plans for housing along transit corridors such as 41st Ave and Capitola Rd. A high-quality transit stop at the Capitola Mall can help Capitola/affordable housing developers in securing additional funding, e.g. through grant programs that focus on transit-oriented development or reduction of green-house gasses.
● Replace the reactive language in Program 1.1 with: “Capitola will work with AMBAG in the 2050 MTP/SCS (scheduled for June 2026) to designate the Capitola Mall as a planned high quality major transit stop.” ● This designation would incentivize more sustainable, affordable, and equitable development in an area identified for large amounts of new housing in the 6th RHNA cycle.
Develop local implementation ordinances for additional transit-oriented development state laws.
● As one example, AB 2011 incentivizes affordable housing development on commercial properties. The City should include a program to develop a local implementation ordinance to incentivize the affordable housing on sites along the transit corridors that make up much of the City’s site inventory.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 12, 2023
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Tobacco Waste
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution recognizing tobacco waste as a public health and environmental threat.
Background: On May 16, 2023, the County of Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors passed a resolution recognizing tobacco product waste as a public health and environmental threat; in 2021, both the Santa Cruz and Watsonville City Councils passed similar resolutions.
In 2019, the Capitola City Council banned the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including menthol.
On September 28, 2023, Vice Mayor Brown requested that staff bring forward a resolution for City Council consideration that declares tobacco product waste as a health and environmental threat.
Discussion: Cigarette filters (butts) are the number one item found on California beaches, including Capitola Beach, where they are washed into Monterey Bay and contribute to a common form of litter in the world’s oceans. Cigarette butts contain cellulose acetate, a non-biodegradable plastic, which breaks down into microplastics and bioaccumulates in marine organisms. Cigarette filters are also toxic waste, leaching dangerous chemicals such as arsenic and nicotine into the environment. Improperly discarded cigarette butts can poison small children, pets, wildlife, and marine life, and are a fire hazard. Cigarette butts do not actually filter out harmful chemicals from cigarette smoke and provide no demonstrated health benefits to smokers.
Emerging forms of tobacco waste include electronic cigarettes or vaping devices, and the e-juice, cartridges, batteries, and accessories associated with them. Tobacco waste is a health equity issue, disproportionately found in lower-income communities and communities of color.
The City of Capitola is dedicated to combatting all forms of waste, including cigarette filters, along Capitola Beach. This year, Capitola entered a formal contract with the local nonprofit Save Our Shores, which includes quarterly beach cleanups. After each cleanup event, Save Our Shores will submit data to City staff outlining amounts and types of waste collected, allowing us to track our community’s progress in eliminating and/or properly disposing of waste before it is left on the beach. The City also has cigarette butt receptacles installed on Capitola Wharf, in our public parking lots, along the Riverview pathway, and throughout Capitola Village to encourage smokers to properly dispose of cigarette butts.
Fiscal Impact: None.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPITOLA
RECOGNIZING TOBACCO WASTE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT
WHEREAS, cigarette butts are the most littered item on Santa Cruz County’s riverways and beaches, where they are washed into the Monterey Bay and contribute to a common form of litter in the world’s oceans; and
WHEREAS, cigarette butts are an unsightly blight on City of Capitola sidewalks, parks, playgrounds, recreation trails, Capitola Beach, and other public spaces; and WHEREAS, Since 2018, local nonprofit Save Our Shores has collected 116,748 cigarette butts from Monterey Bay beaches, open spaces, and public areas; and WHEREAS, cigarette butts are made of cellulose acetate, a non-biodegradable plastic, which breaks down into microplastics and bioaccumulates in marine organisms; and WHEREAS, cigarette butts are not just litter but toxic waste, leaching dangerous chemicals such as lead, arsenic, and nicotine into the environment; and WHEREAS, improperly discarded cigarette butts can poison small children, pets, wildlife, and marine life; and
WHEREAS, improperly discarded cigarette butts are a fire hazard, responsible for burning 88,898 acres in California since 1980; and
WHEREAS, cigarette butts do not actually filter out harmful chemicals from cigarette smoke and provide no demonstrated health benefits to smokers; and WHEREAS, emerging forms of tobacco waste include electronic cigarettes or vaping devices, and the e-juice, cartridges, batteries, and accessories associated with them; and WHEREAS, tobacco waste is a health equity issue, disproportionately found in lower income communities and communities of color; and
WHEREAS, Big Tobacco takes no responsibility for its toxic waste, forcing the physical and financial burden of cleanup onto local government agencies and volunteer organizations; and WHEREAS, previous approaches including anti-litter laws, anti-smoking signage, increased waste disposal containers, and robust cleanup efforts have failed to solve the problem. 51 Item 7 C.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Capitola City Council hereby recognizes and declares tobacco waste a public health and environmental threat to the residents of the City of Capitola.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 12, 2023
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Master Agreement for State-Funded Transportation Projects Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Agreement No. 05- 5304S21 with the California Department of Transportation to continue to receive State funds for transportation related projects and authorizing the Public Works Director to execute all program supplement agreements as required by Agreement No. 05-5304S21.
Background: The State of California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) requires agencies to operate under a State Master Agreement to receive funding for transportation projects. As projects are identified as being eligible for funding, project-specific program supplement agreements are executed to designate funding.
The City of Capitola has an existing State Master Agreement (No. 00245S) with Caltrans, which allows the City to receive reimbursement on a number of State-funded projects. The agreement has been in effect since October 28, 2015. To continue receiving State funding and reimbursements for certain transportation projects, authorization of a new master agreement is necessary.
Discussion: Under the proposed master agreement, project-specific program supplements are issued that become the contractual basis for Caltrans to reimburse the City for State-funded transportation projects. Program supplements define the scope of work and reimbursement limits and must be separately executed to receive the funds. The proposed resolution will authorize the execution of the Master Agreement with CalTrans and will authorize the Public Works Director to execute future program supplement agreements.
Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Agreement No. 05-5304S21
This AGREEMENT, is entered into effective this _______ day of __________, 20___, by and between the City of Capitola, hereinafter referred to as "ADMINISTERING AGENCY," and the State of California, acting by and through its Department of Transportation (Caltrans), hereinafter referred to as "STATE", and together referred to as "PARTIES" or individually as a "PARTY."
RECITALS:
1. WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California has enacted legislation by which certain State funds are made available for use on local transportation related projects of public entities qualified to act as recipients of these state funds; and
2. WHEREAS, ADMINISTERING AGENCY has applied to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and/or STATE for funding from a State-funded program (herein referred to as STATE FUNDS), as defined in the Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG) and/or in the respective CTC Guidelines, for use on local authorized transportation related projects as a local administered project(s), hereinafter referred to as "PROJECT"; and
3. WHEREAS, said PROJECT will not receive any federal funds; and
4. WHEREAS, before STATE FUNDS will be made available for PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY and STATE are required to enter into an agreement to establish terms and conditions applicable to the ADMINISTERING AGENCY when receiving STATE FUNDS for a designated PROJECT facility and to the subsequent operation and maintenance of that completed facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, the PARTIES agree as follows:
MASTER AGREEMENT
ADMINISTERING AGENCY-STATE AGREEMENT
STATE-FUNDED PROJECTS
57 Item 7 E.
ARTICLE I - PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
1. This AGREEMENT shall have no force or effect with respect to any program project unless and until a project- specific Program Supplement to this AGREEMENT for state funded projects, hereinafter referred to as "PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT", has been fully executed by both STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
2. The State approved project-specific allocation notification letter and approved CTC allocation documentation designate the party responsible for implementing PROJECT, type of work, and location of PROJECT for projects requiring CTC allocation by PROJECT component of work.
3. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT sets out special covenants as a condition for the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to receive STATE FUNDS from/through STATE for designated PROJECT. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall also show these STATE FUNDS that have been initially encumbered for PROJECT along with the matching funds to be provided by ADMINISTERING AGENCY and/or others. Execution of PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT by the PARTIES shall cause ADMINISTERING AGENCY to adopt all the terms of this AGREEMENT as though fully set forth therein in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Unless otherwise expressly delegated in a resolution by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, and with written concurrence by STATE, the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be approved and managed by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
4. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to execute and return each project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. The PARTIES agree that STATE may suspend future allocations, encumbrances and invoice payments for any on- going or future STATE FUNDED PROJECT performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if any project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is not returned, unless otherwise agreed by STATE in writing.
5. ADMINISTERING AGENCY further agrees, as a condition to the release and payment of STATE FUNDS encumbered for the PROJECT described in each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, to comply with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and all the agreed-upon Special Covenants or Remarks incorporated within the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, and Cooperative/Contribution Agreement where appropriate, defining and identifying the nature of the specific PROJECT.
6. STATE FUNDS will not participate in any portion of PROJECT work performed in advance of the effective date of allocation by CTC, or by STATE for allocations delegated to STATE by CTC, for said PROJECT.
7. Projects allocated with STATE FUNDS will be administered in accordance with the current CTC STIP Guidelines, applicable chapter(s) of the LAPG, LAPM and/or any other instructions published by STATE.
8. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to ensure compliance with all relevant State laws and requirements for work related to PROJECT, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
9. ADMINISTERING AGENCY's eligible costs for preliminary engineering work includes all preliminary work directly related to PROJECT up to contract award for construction, including, but not limited to, environmental studies and permits (E&P), preliminary surveys and reports, laboratory work, soil investigations, the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E), advertising for bids, awarding of a contract and project development contract administration.
58 Item 7 E.
10. ADMINISTERING AGENCY's eligible costs for construction engineering include actual inspection and supervision of PROJECT construction work; construction staking; laboratory and field testing; and the preparation and processing of field reports, records, estimates, final reports, and allowable expenses of employees/consultants engaged in such activities.
11. Unless the PARTIES agree otherwise in writing, ADMINISTERING AGENCY's employees or its contracted engineering consultant shall be responsible for all PROJECT engineering work.
12. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall not proceed with final design of PROJECT until final environmental approval of PROJECT. Final design entails the design work necessary to complete the PS&E and other work necessary for a construction contract but not required earlier for environmental clearance of that PROJECT.
13. If PROJECT is not on STATE-owned right-of-way, PROJECT shall be constructed in accordance with Chapter 11 of the LAPM that describes minimum statewide design standards for local agency streets and roads. The design standards for projects off the National Highway System (NHS) allow STATE to accept either the current Caltrans Highway Design Manual standards, the current FHWA-adopted American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets standards, or the approved geometric design standards of ADMINISTERING AGENCY. Additionally, for projects off the NHS, STATE will accept ADMINISTERING AGENCY-approved standard specifications, standard plans, materials sampling and testing quality assurance programs that meet the conditions described in the then current Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
14. If PROJECT involves work within or partially within STATE-owned right-of-way, that PROJECT shall also be subject to compliance with the policies, procedures and standards of the STATE Project Development Procedures Manual and Highway Design Manual and where appropriate, an executed cooperative agreement between STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY that outlines the PROJECT responsibilities and respective obligations of the PARTIES. ADMINISTERING AGENCY and its contractors shall each obtain an encroachment permit through STATE prior to commencing any work within STATE rights-of-way or work which affects STATE facilities.
15. When PROJECT is not on the State Highway System (SHS) but includes work to be performed by a railroad, the contract for such work shall be prepared by ADMINISTERING AGENCY or by STATE, as the PARTIES may hereafter agree. In either event, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall enter into an agreement with the railroad providing for future maintenance of protective devices or other facilities installed under the contract.
16. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with the provisions of sections 4450 and 4454 of the California Government Code, as well as other Department of General Services guidance, if applicable, for the contract PS&E for the construction of buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs and related facilities for accessibility and usability. Further requirements and guidance are provided in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.
17. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide a full-time public employee to be in responsible charge of each PROJECT. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide or arrange for adequate supervision and inspection of each PROJECT. ADMINISTERING AGENCY may utilize consultants to perform supervision and inspection work for PROJECT with a
59 Item 7 E.
fully qualified and licensed engineer. Utilization of consultants does not relieve ADMINISTERING AGENCY of its obligation to provide a full-time public employee to be in responsible charge of each PROJECT.
18. Unless otherwise provided in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall advertise, award, and administer the PROJECT construction contract or contracts.
19. The cost of maintenance, security, or protection performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY or contractor forces during any temporary suspension of PROJECT or at any other time may not be charged to the PROJECT.
20. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit PROJECT-specific award information to STATE's District Local Assistance Engineer, within sixty (60) days after contract award.
21. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit the final report documents that collectively constitute a "Final Project Expenditure Report", LAPM Exhibit 17-M, within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT completion. Failure by ADMINISTERING AGENCY to submit a "Final Project Expenditure Report", within 180 days of project completion will result in STATE imposing sanctions upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY in accordance with the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
22. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and all applicable regulations and guidelines issued pursuant to the ADA.
23. The Governor and the Legislature of the State of California, each within their respective jurisdictions, have prescribed certain nondiscrimination requirements with respect to contract and other work financed with public funds. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to comply with the requirements of the FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES ADDENDUM, attached hereto as Exhibit A and further agrees that any agreement entered into by ADMINISTERING AGENCY with a third party for performance of work connected with PROJECT shall incorporate Exhibit A (with third party's name replacing ADMINISTERING AGENCY) as parts of such agreement.
24. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall include in all contracts and subcontracts awarded when applicable, a clause that requires each subcontractor to comply with California Labor Code requirements that all workers employed on public works aspects of any project (as defined in California Labor Code sections 1720-1815) be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rates predetermined by the Department of Industrial Relations as effective at the date of contract award by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
ARTICLE II - RIGHTS-OF-WAY
1. No contract for the construction of a STATE FUNDED PROJECT shall be awarded until all necessary rights of way have been secured. Prior to the advertising for construction of PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall certify and, upon request, shall furnish STATE with evidence that all necessary rights-of-way are available for construction purposes or will be available by the time of award of the construction contract.
2. The furnishing of rights of way by ADMINISTERING AGENCY as provided for herein includes, and is limited to, the following, unless the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT provides otherwise.
(a) Expenditures of capital and support to purchase all real property required for
60 Item 7 E.
PROJECT free and clear of liens, conflicting easements, obstructions and encumbrances, after crediting PROJECT with the fair market value of any excess property retained and not disposed of by ADMINISTERING AGENCY. (b) The cost of furnishing of right-of-way as provided for herein includes, in addition to real property required for the PROJECT, title free and clear of obstructions and encumbrances affecting PROJECT and the payment, as required by applicable law, of damages to owners of remainder real property not actually taken but injuriously affected by PROJECT.
(c) The cost of relocation payments and services provided to owners and occupants pursuant to Government Code sections 7260-7277 when PROJECT displaces an individual, family, business, farm operation or nonprofit organization. (d) The cost of demolition and/or the sale of all improvements on the right-of-way after credit is recorded for sale proceeds used to offset PROJECT costs. (e) The cost of all unavoidable utility relocation, protection or removal. (f) The cost of all necessary hazardous material and hazardous waste treatment, encapsulation or removal and protective storage for which ADMINISTERING AGENCY accepts responsibility and where the actual generator cannot be identified, and recovery made.
3. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to indemnify and hold STATE harmless from any liability that may result in the event the right-of-way for a PROJECT is not clear as certified by ADMINISTERING AGENCY, including, but not limited to, if said right-of-way is found to contain hazardous materials requiring treatment or removal to remediate in accordance with Federal and State laws. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall pay, from its own non- matching funds, any costs which arise out of delays to the construction of PROJECT because utility facilities have not been timely removed or relocated, or because rights-of-way were not available to ADMINISTERING AGENCY for the orderly prosecution of PROJECT work.
ARTICLE III - MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT
1. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will maintain and operate the property acquired, developed, constructed, rehabilitated, or restored by PROJECT for its intended public use until such time as the parties might amend this AGREEMENT to otherwise provide.
With the approval of STATE, ADMINISTERING AGENCY or its successors in interest in the PROJECT property may transfer this obligation and responsibility to maintain and operate PROJECT property for that intended public purpose to another public entity.
2. Upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY's acceptance of the completed construction contract or upon contractor being relieved of the responsibility for maintaining and protecting PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for the maintenance, ownership, liability, and the expense thereof, for PROJECT in a manner satisfactory to the authorized representatives of STATE and if PROJECT falls within the jurisdictional limits of another Agency or Agencies, it is the duty of ADMINISTERING AGENCY to facilitate a separate maintenance agreement(s) between itself and the other jurisdictional Agency or Agencies providing for the operation, maintenance, ownership and liability of PROJECT. Until those agreements are executed, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for all PROJECT operations, maintenance, ownership and liability in a manner satisfactory to the authorized representatives of STATE. If, within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice from STATE that a PROJECT, or any portion thereof, is not
61 Item 7 E.
being properly operated and maintained and ADMINISTERING AGENCY has not satisfactorily remedied the conditions complained of, the approval of future STATE FUNDED PROJECTS of ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be withheld until the PROJECT shall have been put in a condition of operation and maintenance satisfactory to STATE. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a PROJECT that has been vacated through due process of law with STATE's concurrence.
3. PROJECT and its facilities shall be maintained by an adequate and well-trained staff of engineers and/or such other professionals and technicians as PROJECT reasonably requires. Said operations and maintenance staff may be employees of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, another unit of government, or a contractor under agreement with ADMINISTERING AGENCY. All maintenance will be performed at regular intervals or as required for efficient operation of the complete PROJECT improvements.
4. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with all applicable law, including but not limited to, all applicable legal authority regarding construction standards.
ARTICLE IV - FISCAL PROVISIONS
1. All contractual obligations of STATE are subject to the appropriation of resources by the Legislature and the allocation of resources by the CTC.
2. STATE'S financial commitment of STATE FUNDS will occur only upon the execution of this AGREEMENT, the execution of each project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and/or STATE's approved finance letter.
3.

10. When such additional STATE FUNDS are not available, ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that any increases in PROJECT costs must be defrayed with ADMINISTERING AGENCY's own funds.
11. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall use its own non-STATE FUNDS to finance the local share of eligible costs and all PROJECT expenditures or contract items ruled ineligible for financing with STATE FUNDS.

12. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will reimburse STATE for STATE's share of costs for work performed by STATE at the request of ADMINISTERING AGENCY. STATE's costs shall include overhead assessments in accordance with section 8755.1 of the State Administrative Manual.
13. STATE FUNDS allocated by the CTC and/or STATE are subject to the timely use of funds provisions approved in CTC Guidelines and State procedures approved by the CTC and STATE.
14. STATE FUNDS encumbered for PROJECT are available for liquidation only for a limited period from the beginning of the State fiscal year when those funds were appropriated in the State Budget. STATE FUNDS not liquidated within these periods will be reverted unless a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA) is submitted by ADMINISTERING AGENCY and approved by the California Department of Finance in accordance with Section 16304 of the Government Code. The exact date of fund reversion will be reflected in the STATE signed PROJECT finance letter.
15. Payments to ADMINISTERING AGENCY for PROJECT-related travel and subsistence (per diem) expenses of ADMINISTERING AGENCY forces and its contractors and subcontractors claimed for reimbursement or as local match credit shall not exceed rates authorized to be paid to rank and file STATE employees under current California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) rules unless a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA) is submitted by ADMINISTERING AGENCY and approved by the California Department of Finance in accordance with Government Code section 16304. If the rates invoiced by ADMINISTERING AGENCY are in excess of CalHR rates, ADMINISTERING AGENCY is responsible for the cost difference, and any overpayments inadvertently paid by STATE shall be reimbursed to STATE by ADMINISTERING AGENCY on demand.

21. Should ADMINISTERING AGENCY be declared to be in breach of this AGREEMENT or otherwise in default thereof by STATE, and if ADMINISTERING AGENCY is constituted as a joint powers authority, special district, or any other public entity not directly receiving funds through the State Controller, STATE is authorized to obtain reimbursement from whatever sources of funding are available, including the withholding or transfer of funds, from those constituent entities comprising a joint powers authority or by bringing of an action against ADMINISTERING AGENCY or its constituent member entities, to recover all funds provided by STATE hereunder.
64 Item 7 E.
22. ADMINISTERING AGENCY acknowledges that the signatory party represents the ADMINISTERING AGENCY and further warrants that there is nothing within a Joint Powers Agreement, by which ADMINISTERING AGENCY was created, if any exists, that would restrict or otherwise limit STATE's ability to recover STATE FUNDS improperly spent by ADMINISTERING AGENCY in contravention of the terms of this AGREEMENT.

EXHIBIT A - FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES ADDENDUM
1. In the performance of this Agreement, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will not discriminate against any employee for employment on account of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will take affirmative action to ensure that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 12, 2023
From: Police Department
Subject: Body-Worn Cameras and Tasers
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a 5-year agreement with AXON in an amount not to exceed $336,500 to purchase body-worn cameras and tasers; and authorize the surplus of current inventory of tasers and body cameras.
Background: The Police Department is committed to providing the highest level of policing services to the community. Body-worn and fleet cameras systems have been used for many years and are the industry standard for most police agencies. The camera systems provide video evidence of any interactions with the public and help achieve a higher level of trust and accountability between the department and the community.
Capitola's Police Department was the first agency in Santa Cruz County to acquire body-worn cameras.
Since the program's inception, the City has employed Motorola Solutions body-worn cameras, supplied by Watchguard. These body-worn cameras (BWC) and fleet camera systems were initially procured in 2015 through funding from the State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF).
Typically, a body-worn camera has a lifespan of three years, while vehicle cameras coincide with the vehicle's lifespan (3-5 years). Data from these cameras is stored locally, but challenges arise due to limited storage, high costs, and service continuity issues. Staff is seeking a suitable data storage vendor capable of managing the collected data and providing ongoing technical support.
Although individual cameras have been replaced as needed, the City’s current inventory of Motorola BWC and fleet cameras needs to be replaced and updated. Motorola notified the Police Department that they can no longer provide repairs or replacements for the City’s current BWC and fleet camera systems.
Tasers, essential tools for officer safety and de-escalation, are used by all Capitola officers. The current inventory of Axon "Taser 2" devices has surpassed its service life and is no longer under warranty, prompting the need for replacement. Tasers are effective in incapacitating individuals, facilitating safe detainment, and contributing to the force's decision matrix for de-escalation strategies.
Discussion: Staff sought bids from three vendors: Motorola, LensLock, and Axon. Motorola, the City’s current vendor, provides a new camera system which requires a five-year contract. LensLock and Axon both offer comparable BWC and fleet camera systems.
The Police Department researched all three vendors for information and estimates. All three vendors have switched to five-year lease programs rather than a traditional purchase. The vendors provided similar costs, ranging from $325,000 to $361,000. Two of the vendors, Motorola Services and Axon, provide built-in Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) as part of their fleet of cameras. Axon offers various models of conducted energy devices (tasers) that are integrated with the body-worn camera technology to be activated and collect data when tasers are deployed.
Axon offers bundling discounts for agencies that simultaneously update their conducted energy devices (CED) equipment, BWC and fleet cameras, and data storage. This presented an opportunity to upgrade the City’s inventory of BWC and tasers, while also solving the City’s data storage issues. This will eliminate the need for frequent replacement purchases and ensure stability throughout the five-year lease period. Axon offers a fleet camera, but it is currently unavailable to order due to limited supply. Staff intends to replace the fleet camera inventory once Axon is able to fulfill the order and will amend the agreement to that effect.
73 Item 7 F.
Axon has partnered with a cooperative purchasing organization (Sourcewell) that provides competitively solicited contracts to government agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofits. This partnership allows City staff to access pre-negotiated government pricing for services without completing a traditional Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The five-year contract for BWC, data storage, and tasers is $336,500, and this meets the needs and requirements of the City for the duration of the contract.
Fiscal Impact: The 5-year agreement with Axon will cost a total of $336,500. The adopted FY 2023-24 Budget includes $230,000 from the General Fund for this equipment, and $120,000 can be appropriated from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Servies Fund. Therefore, there is adequate funding for the fiveyear agreement. The estimated sale of the surplus body cameras and tasers is estimated at $2,000 – $2,500 and will be deposited into the City’s Internal Service Equipment Fund.

Alexander Pedersen Report on Attendance at the 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo
To: City of Capitola
Date: 10/5/23
In accordance with Government Code Section 53232.3, I am pleased to provide an overview of my participation at the 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo. I commenced my attendance with the Keynote Address titled "From Conflict to Conversation" where Matt Lehrman, the Managing Director of Social Prosperity Partners, highlighted the paramountcy of effective communication. The talk underscored how community leaders can adeptly address complex and sensitive issues, ensuring everyone involved feels both heard and respected. On the evening of September 20, 2023, I attended the "Rollin’ on the River" event aboard the Delta King, situated at 1000 Front St, Sacramento. It was a lively affair that combined casino-style gaming and dancing, presenting a dynamic networking environment.
Notably, I had the opportunity to engage with multiple City Council members and government employees from our county, fostering valuable connections and discussions. One of the pivotal sessions I attended was "Navigating the New State Housing Laws" held in Concurrent Session Room A7-A8. This was an enlightening dive into the labyrinth of state housing laws enacted since 2016, offering insights into effective understanding and implementation. My exploration of the Expo Hall was particularly enriching. I had the opportunity to engage with businesses that presented solutions tailored for cities. Noteworthy booths included USDA and OpenGov. The Monterey Bay Division Lunch held at Mayahuel on 1200 K Street was a significant gathering.
Over lunch, it presented an excellent opportunity for me to meet and converse with local mayors and City Council members from the greater Monterey Bay area, allowing for a deeper understanding and connection with these regional leaders. I also attended a session on "Adapting Main Street for a Changing Retail Landscape" in Concurrent Session Room A4. This discussed the evolving state of retail, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic. The importance of innovation and flexibility in promoting downtown vitality in this new age was emphasized. Further, the session "From Idea to Action: Budgeting for Strategic Impact" in the Speaker Theater of Hall ABC was insightful. Monica Cook, the Director of Solutions Engineering at OpenGov, delved into best-in-class examples of budget planning and performance frameworks. Equally engaging was the session on "AI in Governance: Opportunities and Ethical Considerations", which examined the transformative potential of machine learning in governance, the challenges and the ethical considerations therein. The session "Building Relationships Between Police Departments and the Community" in Room A1 stood out for its significance. Here, seasoned police chiefs shared their experiences and strategies to cultivate and maintain positive community relationships. Outside the structured sessions, I had enriching interactions with numerous exhibition representatives. Additionally, I forged valuable connections with fellow councilmembers and city managers ranging from Santa Cruz County to across the state. To culminate, we had a delightful dinner with Sam's team at Burke, Williams & Sorensen, which provided yet another avenue for productive discussions and networking. I trust this report provides a comprehensive overview of my engagement at the conference, reflecting both the knowledge gained and the relationships cultivated. 84 Item 7 G.
Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 12, 2023
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Cliff Drive Resiliency Project
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with CSW/Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group, Inc. for professional planning, permitting, and design services for the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project in the amount of $1,193,700 in substantially similar form, as approved by the City Attorney, as the attached agreement; and adopt a resolution amending the FY 2023-24 Budget to accept and appropriate grant funding from the California Coastal Commission and Federal Highway Administration.
Background: Cliff Drive serves as a heavily utilized arterial road and acts as a primary evacuation route for the low-lying Capitola Village mixed-use district. The road also provides public coastal access to parking areas and a stairway leading to the beach. Unfortunately, during the January 2023 storms, Cliff Drive suffered damage to the adjacent rip rap revetment and localized bluff erosion due to excessive precipitation and strong storm surges.
The City successfully secured Federal Emergency Relief (ER) funding through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans Local Assistance (Caltrans LA) for professional engineering and environmental services required to repair the damaged bluff along Cliff Drive within the City's right of way.
This funding stipulates that the project must be ready to request construction funding by September 2025.
Additionally, the City previously received $450,000 from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) Local Coastal Program (LCP) Local Assistance Grant Program for performing an alternatives analysis for a future anticipated project on Cliff Drive.
Following the funding notification, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit a multidisciplinary team that would assist the City in a two-phased design approach. Phase 1 involves understanding the existing conditions, opportunities, and constraints associated with Cliff Drive. This process will lead to the development of project alternatives, which will be refined through community and stakeholder outreach to determine a preferred alternative for review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Phase 2 will focus on completing the environmental review process and obtaining permits from environmental regulatory agencies and the California Coastal Commission. This phase will culminate in the development of final plans for bidding and construction.
Discussion: The RFP was released in late August; CSW/Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group, Inc. (CSW/ST2) submitted the only response by the September 26, 2023 deadline (Attachment 1). Due to the tight timeline for project development, design, and permitting, CSW/ST2 formed a team of consultants specifically for this project, which otherwise would have been expected to bid independently. Staff recommends, with approval from Caltrans, to sole-source this project and award the contract to CSW/ST2. Staff conducted an interview with the consultant and contacted their references, and they are considered suitable consultants for this project. CSW/ST2 has successfully completed several similar projects along the coastal areas of California.
Caltrans Audits and Investigations (A&I) and Architecture and Engineering (A&E) are currently reviewing staff's recommendation, and the City can proceed with entering into an agreement with CSW/ST2 once the review is complete. Caltrans LA has indicated the City can proceed with conditional approval concurrently with A&I and A&E review. If the City Council approves the contract as recommended, it will be executed following Caltrans LA approval.
Fiscal Impact: The City was awarded Federal ER funding amounting to $839,408 for professional engineering and environmental services, of which 88.53% ($743,127) will be reimbursed by 85 Item 8 A.
FHWA/Caltrans LA, and 11.47% ($96,281) will be supported by a City match. The City match must be non-federal funding, which can be covered by the $450,000 grant from the Coastal Commission, resulting in a total project budget of $1.2 million.
The current available funding for the capital construction of this project is approximately $8.4 million, which will also be reimbursed at a rate of 88.53% with federal funding, requiring a City match of approximately $918,000. The City would apply the remaining $353,700 of the $450,000 grant towards the City’s match, leaving a remaining amount of $564,300.

Cliff Drive Resiliency Project
Work Plan
WORK PLAN
The Capitola community is seeking a strategy to maintain Cliff Drive as an access corridor for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists seeking to travel to and from Capitola Village. However, the eroding bluff composed from the Purisima foundation is eroding compromising the integrity of Cliff Drive. Climate induced sea level rise will likely increase the rate of erosion.
The City has received funding from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) through the Local Coastal Program Local Assistance Grant Program as well as the FHWA’s Emergency Relief Program. The CCC funds the alternatives analysis while the FHWA grant supports the process to finalize construction documents.
Various agencies have identified that bicycle and pedestrian access requires improvement along this segment of the coastline. Santa Cruz County is currently studying options to transform the existing rail alignment into a multi-use trail. The segment along Cliff Drive is known as Segment 11 and ends to the west of the Soquel Creek overcrossing. Continuing this pathway to Capitola Village along Cliff Drive is an objective. Thus, integrating improved pedestrian and bicycle access in coordination with the proposed trail segment will be a key goal in amending the City’s existing Local Coastal Program.
From the big picture perspective, there are two basic alternatives to evaluate related to protection and a managed retreat strategy. Within these strategies, there are a series of options that can generally be related to the expected life of the facility. The following summarizes the options:
1. Protection Strategy. Cliff Drive remains in its existing location. If so, there are the following potential options:
a. Slope reinforcement fabric as a short-term solution. b. Add additional rip rap at the base and install rock anchors in the bluff for a short to midterm solution. c. Install a full-face tieback with shotcrete soil nail wall for a longer-term solution. d. Install a secant pile concrete wall, with a concrete deck that allows Cliff Drive to cantilever for a long-term solution.
e. Install Cliff Drive on a causeway (side hill viaduct) for a long-term solution.
2. Managed Retreat Strategy. Cliff Drive is relocated inland, and the existing roadway is open to pedestrians and bicyclists until it erodes.
a. Re-using the railroad corridor as a transportation link. b. Re-route traffic to Capitola Road with a bridge crossing Soquel Creek. c. Re-route traffic to Clares Street with a bridge crossing Soquel Creek. d. State Route 1 with exits at 41st and Bay Avenues become the link.
From discussions with the community and stakeholders, we plan to investigate the options noted above.
For our scope of work, we assume the project will protect Cliff Drive in-place and include a shotcrete anchor wall that supports the terrace deposits above the siltstone Purisima formation. To slow the rate of erosion of the siltstone, the project would reinforce the rock slope protection and add anchors with netting. Where 88 Item 8 A.

feasible, the project would cantilever the sidewalk to add additional width for a sidewalk and for closing the gap in the multi-use pathway with Capitola Village. The attached figure illustrates a potential solution that is the basis of our design effort.
The following team members will support the evaluation of options for Cliff Drive. • CSW/ST2 will be the project manager, transportation engineer, develop the alternatives analysis, and surveyor for the project.
• Biggs Cardosa will be the structural engineer leading the evaluation of structural options for bluff stabilization.
• CivicKnit will lead the approach to public outreach as well as collaboration with the Coastal Commission.
• ENGEO will lead the geotechnical engineering approach and provide input for wall design options. • Moffatt and Nichol will lead the coastal engineering approach and support coordinating with the Coastal Commission.
• Northgate Environmental will lead the assessment of biological and cultural resources as well as prepare the CEQA IS/MND and support the NEPA technical studies. • Walter Crampton of ENGEO will serve as our independent quality control representative.
The following scope of work separates the project into two basic phases which are summarize as follows:
Phase 1. In this phase, we develop an understanding of the existing conditions and opportunities and constraints associated with Cliff Drive. This process culminates in the development of a series of project alternatives which are refined through community and stakeholder outreach to develop a preferred alternative for review under CEQA/ NEPA.
Phase 2. With a formal project description, we will complete the environmental review process, which will allow for acquisition of permits from the environmental regulatory agencies as well as the California Coastal Commission. As we work through the approval process, our team will develop final plans for bidding and construction.
Our scope of work to support the resiliency planning of Cliff Drive includes the following elements:
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY/ STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT In this initial phase, our team will work with City staff to review project goals and develop a process for stakeholder outreach.
1.1 Project Kickoff. Key members of our team will meet with City staff to review the goals and objectives of the project. During this meeting, we will review opportunities to refine our outreach strategy and finalize the schedule for Phase 1.

Work Plan
1.2 Outreach Strategy Plan. We will refine the outreach strategy plan including a schedule, description of each engagement activity, level of engagement, and list participants to be invited to outreach events.
We propose to develop several groups to present comments and seek feedback including:
A. Technical Working Group. We propose to establish a technical working group that includes key project stakeholders such as City staff, fire, police, Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC), Local Assistance Environmental Group, and Caltrans.
B. Regulatory Agencies. We will coordinate second group of agencies who have authority or potentially could fund the project including: Coastal Conservancy, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (CCRWQCB), CA Fish & Wildlife (CDFW), Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and California State Lands Commission (CSLC).
C. Community Stakeholders. We will work with the City to identify potential Community Partners who can advise the team on engagement and serve as ambassadors to their communities. At a minimum, this will include coordination with the Surfrider Foundation, Save the Waves Coalition, Capitola Soquel Chamber of Commerce, and the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club.
D. California Coastal Commission. Our team believes that working meetings with the Coastal Commission staff are critical to advance the project’s planning. We have included several meetings with staff throughout the planning process.
In addition to these components, the outreach strategy will also develop an online presence. This will involve the creation of a community-wide online survey, establishing an engaging project website, and utilize various social media platforms for electronic messaging.
1.3 Project Budget. Implementing a major bluff stabilization will be expensive. Our team will develop a preliminary budget for discussion with the City to confirm there is adequate internal and external funding to support the project. If not, we will review alternative options and establish baseline budgets for consideration.
1.4 Quality Management Plan. We will prepare a project specific plan to manage quality for the project’s development. This plan will use the Caltrans Article 9 template to serve as a basis. Criteria that the plan will address include documentation of existing conditions, geometrics, drainage, utility clearance, wall structure, bike and pedestrian safety, cost control, and constructability.
1.5 Contract Management. CSW/ST2 will be responsible for overall management of our design team including the following:
A. Project Management. We will manage the design team as well as track progress, schedule, and budget. We will be responsible for documenting decisions and keeping an official record of the project. Furthermore, we will submit monthly progress reports identifying tasks completed, budget status, and issues status.
B. Quality Control/ Assurance. Walter Crampton of ENGEO will perform an independent quality control review of the team’s documents prior to submittal.
C. Meetings. In addition to the kickoff meeting, we will attend two meetings during this phase to coordinate the activity.
91 Item 8 A.
Cliff Drive Resiliency Project
Work Plan
Task 2 Opportunities and Constraints Assessment
During this initial phase our team will review existing studies and complete additional analysis to develop an opportunities and constraints map for use in developing alternatives.
2.1 Document Review. Our team will review the existing documents developed by the Capitola, Santa Cruz County, and others for the area. This would include a review of similar coastal permits to understand the precedent for allowing such critical transportation infrastructure to remain in historic locations, access considerations, and what will be necessary to mitigate for bluff armoring.
2.2 Existing Conditions Mapping. Our team will compile an existing conditions map of the Cliff Drive and the bluff including the following:
A. Property Boundary and Record Monuments: Our team will develop the right of way for Cliff Drive as well as adjoining private parcels including APN: 034-081-01, 034-051-07, and 034-052- 14 based upon Santa Cruz County’s standards. Santa Cruz County will share the right of way for future trail segment 11. For the other locations, we will research property data and complete a boundary resolution. If the boundaries require resolution, we will file up to three (3) Records of Survey consistent with California law.
B. Monument Preservation: We will locate and preserve record monuments in accordance with the Business & Professions Code §8771; Streets & Highways §732 & §732.5, §1492.5, §1810.5; and Penal Code §605. We will locate these monuments and develop special provisions requiring the contractor to file a pre-construction corner record with Santa Cruz County showing three reference control points that are tied to the monument.
C. Survey: Our team will collect topography using both traditional and drone methods. This will include buildings, sidewalks, curbs, pavement grade breaks, surface utilities, and the face of the bluff. We will depict the asphalt’s surface and drainage patterns with spot elevations and contour data at 1-foot intervals. Our team will create a three-dimensional model of the bluff’s face to accurately model surfacing options. We will collect utility records as well as measure the depth of gravity systems and water valves to establish horizontal and vertical data.
D. Prepare Base Map: CSW/ST2 will develop a detailed base map integrating topography, boundary, and utility information.
2.3 Geology. Using the existing site geotechnical investigation supplementing the Haro, Kasunich and Associates investigation dated July 1995 and other information, ENGEO will support the team in assessing bluff stability and options to attenuate erosion.
2.4 Coastal Analysis. Moffatt and Nichol will complete a coastal analysis that supplements the original work prepared by the firm for the Capitola Beach Jetty Rehabilitation project in 2018 for Coastal Development Permit application 3-18-0814. We will evaluate the following elements:
A. Sea Level Rise. We will establish both the near- and long-term sea level rise scenarios for the project site using the Federal Emergency Management’s base flood elevation and guidance from the California Coastal Commission and Ocean Protection Council. This analysis will also consider the changes in MHHW and MLLW due to sea level rise to establish a basis of design for bluff stabilization.
92 Item 8 A.
Cliff Drive Resiliency Project
Work Plan
B. Wave Run-up Study. Capitola is exposed to both wind waves and Pacific swell. Because Capitola is sheltered, winds from the northwest, north, and northeast will not generate waves along the bluff. The headlands of Pleasure Point further shelter the coastline. Winds blowing from the east, southeast, and south have limited fetch to generate large waves. The greatest wind-induced wave heights occur from winds blowing from the southwest, which occur about 24% of the time. Our team will assess the data, estimate wave height, and impact energy to support the design process.
C. Sand Supply. A 1971 report entitled “Sand Budget for Capitola Beach” concluded that if all the bluffs were faced with concrete, there would be 3,800 CY reduction of sand which is about 1% of average annual littoral transport. Based upon the geotechnical investigation, we will determine the overall volume of sand supply lost by the project should the bluff be fully armored. This value will result in a mitigation fee levied by the Coastal Commission. In some cases, this fee can be waived by offering the equivalent public access improvements.
D. Tsunami Hazard. We will evaluate the impact of Tsunami Hazards on the bluff related to a project with or without stabilization. The current Tsunami mapping illustrates that the wave heights are below Cliff Drive.
2.5 View Corridor. Our team will visit the site and develop a photographic log of existing conditions, helping understand preferred view corridors.
2.6 Hydrology. Our team will review the project area topography to develop watersheds and flow paths as well as generate runoff rates.
2.7 Biological Resources. Northgate will prepare a technical memorandum summarizing biological resources known to occur in the project vicinity and potential constraints to bluff stabilization. The primary purpose will be to identify habitats suitable for special-status plant and/or animal species, special-status natural communities, and/or jurisdictional features (e.g., wetlands or other waters of the United States) that may be affected by the project.
2.8 Cultural Resources Assessment. Northgate will provide 1) a Cultural Resources Technical Report (during Phase 1) to assist the City in assessing and ranking of project alternatives; 2) an Archaeology Survey Report (ASR) using the template provided in Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference, Volume 2 (for Section 106 Compliance) that discusses the paleo-environment, archaeology, ethnography, and history of the project area; and 3) and a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) that is the summary document used by Caltrans to document its Section 106 consultation and decisionmaking processes for federal undertakings.
2.9 California Coastal Commission. We will coordinate a meeting with Coastal Commission staff to review their jurisdictional limit and discuss the process to advance the approval process including the approach to amending the Local Coastal Program.
2.10 Opportunities and Constraints Map. Using data collected by the City as well as information developed by our team, we will prepare an opportunities and constraints map that illustrates topography, boundary, environmental and cultural resources, geologic hazard, and view corridors.
This map will illustrate existing coastal access, amenities, and observation points. Our team will use this map as the basis for planning the alternatives.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 12, 2023
From: Community Development Department
Subject: Housing Element Update
Recommended Action: Accept presentation and direct staff to incorporate Planning Commission and the California Department of Housing and Community Development recommendations into the Draft Housing Element update in preparation for adoption hearings.
Background: In accordance with applicable State housing law, local jurisdictions are legally required to adopt plans and programs for housing that provide opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing development. The Housing Element, which is one of seven State-mandated components of the City’s General Plan, is a mechanism by which the State requires local jurisdictions to provide a variety of housing options and strive toward reaching regional housing needs. The Housing Element should also maintain civic and local responsibility toward economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals stated within adopted General Plan documents.
Housing Elements are required to be updated every eight years. The City’s current Housing Element was adopted by the Capitola City Council in 2015 and certified by the State of California in 2016 and will be in effect through December 2023. The City is required by law to update the Housing Element for the 2023-2031 planning period (also known as the sixth cycle) and have the updated Housing Element adopted and sent to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for certification by December 15, 2023.
On May 12, 2022, the City Council authorized an agreement with RRM Design Group (RRM) for the preparation of the 2023-2031 Housing Element. Staff has worked with RRM to assess existing and projected housing needs, review the existing Housing Element, and commence work on the updated Housing Element.
Pursuant to applicable State housing law, the City solicited public input from all segments of the community in the preparation of the Housing Element. This included stakeholder meetings (November 2022), two community workshops (February 16, 2023 and May 16, 2023), an online housing survey (November 2022 – March 2023), Planning Commission meetings (February 2, May 4, and June 1), City Council meetings (February 9 and June 8), and a joint Planning Commission and City Council work session (March 16, 2023). Each of the public meetings provided an opportunity for public comment.
On May 10, 2023, a draft of the Housing Element was published for public review. Following the thirtyday publishing period (during which the draft Housing Element was mentioned during a Planning Commission meeting and a City Council meeting), the initially published draft was updated to incorporate additional information as requested during the public review period.
On July 5, 2023, Capitola’s Housing Element was submitted to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), initiating the required 90-day review process. Since submission to HCD, staff has received two rounds of preliminary comments from the State. In response to each round of comments, the Housing Element was updated, republished for public review, and resubmitted to HCD (August 29, 2023, and September 19, 2023).
On October 3, 2023, final comments from the HCD were received (Attachment 1). The letter included requests for additional information and incorporating new strategies that go beyond AB9 and ADU laws to create additional housing mobility opportunities within single-family neighborhoods. In response to the request, the housing element consultant team is suggesting a program to allow duplexes on corner lots 150
Item 8 B.
in single-family neighborhoods. This program has been accepted by HCD in other jurisdictions with certified Housing Elements.
On October 5, 2023, the Planning Commission received an update on the Housing Element and directed staff to incorporate HCD recommendations as well as edits to state lands, the shopping center program, and community benefits incentives program into the draft and prepare the document for adoption hearings. The Commission recommended adding a new program to work with State during the 6th Cycle to initiate discussions and possible planning for housing opportunities on state lands including the DMV site and New Brighton State Park. They also asked staff to modify the shopping center program and community benefits incentives program to ensure deliverables are based on the outcome of the current mall redevelopment land use study. A special Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for October 19, 2023, for review and formal recommendation on the Housing Element.
Discussion: The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Council with an update on the HCD review of the Housing Element review.
The latest draft, published on September 19, 2023, is available in hard copy at Capitola City Hall and the Capitola Library. The Housing Element is also available at the City’s website at the link below:

Revisions to HCD’s first response can be found in blue font. Revisions to HCD’s second response can be found in blue font with yellow highlight.
As mentioned above, City staff received two rounds of comments and attended two meetings with HCD during the 90-day review period. The HCD comments varied from minor edits and requests for additional information, to requiring greater commitments to programs, adding new programs, and modifying the sites inventory. With regards to the sites inventory, the City received comments from HCD and the public related to overreliance on the mall site, distribution of sites City-wide, and no net loss. The City’s experienced Housing Element team, comprised of RRM Design and Veronica Tam & Associates, worked diligently to address all HCD comments, publish updates in compliance with the required 7-day minimum public review period, and resubmit to HCD. Typically, staff would bring each round of modification to the Planning Commission and City Council for review, but in an effort to comply with the required December 15th deadline for submitting an adopted Housing Element and avoid the state penalizations for not doing so, all modifications were made at a staff level to stay on schedule. Attachment 2 is a list of modifications completed during the 90-day review period.
The following identifies the next steps for the Housing Element update.

City of Capitola
420 Capitola Avenue
Capitola, CA 95010
Dear Katie Herlihy:
RE: City of Capitola’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Capitola’s (City) draft housing element received for review on July 5, 2023, along with revisions received on September 19, 2023. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a conversation on September 6, 2023, with the City’s housing element team. In addition, HCD considered comments from Santa Cruz YIMBY pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq). The revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law are as follows:
1. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) Goals, Actions, Metrics, and Milestones: Promoting housing mobility removes barriers to higher opportunity and income areas and strategically enhances access to housing choices and affordability. The element must include significant actions to promote housing mobility within the City and relative to the region to promote more inclusive communities. While the element includes some potentially meaningful actions, largely, these actions are limited to the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) or geographically targeted to high and highest resource areas which is the entire City. Instead, programs to promote housing mobility should consider geographic targeting such as highest resource and relatively higher median income areas or areas of lesser intensity. In addition, the element should consider additional actions with numerical targets (e.g., 200 153
Item 8 B.
Katie Herlihy, Director
units) beyond rehabilitation, accessory dwelling units (ADU) and following state laws. Examples of additional actions could include upzoning areas, increasing housing choices (e.g., duplexes to fourplexes), targeting funding, allowing conversion of existing space beyond state ADU and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) laws and homesharing.
2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).) Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services…(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
Capitola Mall: While the element provides information regarding the current uses on the Capitola Mall site, it must still describe the extent to which existing uses may continue to constitute an impediment to residential development. For example, the element cites a previous application and trends in commercial uses but should also evaluate the extent to which existing commercial uses may preclude residential development in the planning period. For example, the element could address existing lease agreements, easements or property conditions that may preclude residential development, whether uses will discontinue or how uses will continue through redevelopment, replacement parking and site planning consideration, potential phasing of the project, development on non-commercial portions of the site, and other factors that support the site’s redevelopment during the planning period.
Additionally, given the reliance on the Capitola Mall site to meet the RHNA, the element should include a program that commits to facilitating development and monitoring approvals of the projects (e.g., coordination with applicants to approve entitlements, supporting funding applications, expanding approvals, and monitoring of project progress, including rezoning or identification of additional sites, if necessary).
Realistic Capacity: While the element lists recent projects in the MU-N and C-C zones to estimate realistic development capacity on those sites, the element must further analyze the likelihood of 100 percent nonresidential development and account for this likelihood in the calculation of residential capacity.
Suitability of Nonvacant Sites and Zoning for Lower-Income Households: The element includes sites in the R-1 zone (with a maximum density of 8.7 du/ac) with existing congregational or educational uses currently listed as sites appropriate to meet the lower-income RHNA. However, the element must demonstrate densities appropriate to accommodate housing for lower-income households. For communities with densities that meet specific standards (at least 20 units per acre for Capitola), no analysis is required. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, 154
Item 8 B.
Katie Herlihy, Director
subd. (c)(3).) Otherwise, an analysis must demonstrate appropriate densities based on factors such as market demand, financial feasibility, and development experience within identified zones. In addition, the element should further evaluate the extent existing uses impede additional development. For example, the element mentions excess surface parking and underutilized buildings but should discuss whether those uses will continue or discontinue and if continuing, how the use impacts additional development. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, the element should add or modify programs, including, if applicable, meeting by right requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (h) and (i).
Small Sites: Sites smaller than half an acre are deemed inadequate to accommodate housing for lower-income households unless it is demonstrated, with sufficient evidence, that sites of equivalent size and affordability were successfully developed during the prior planning period or other evidence demonstrates the suitability of these sites. The element mentions some past production on small sites and reports that most of the small sites are under common ownership but should also discuss the potential for consolidation. For example, the element could evaluate the circumstances potentially leading to consolidation such as existing shared access, necessity for consolidation to share access, necessity for consolidation to promote financial feasibility, meet development standards or facilitate site planning. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, the element should add or modify action to encourage lot consolidation.
For example, the element could consider graduated density as an additional incentive to promote lot consolidation.
Publicly-Owned Sites: The element mentions publicly-owned sites but should also discuss their suitability for development in the planning period, including status, anticipated schedule and any known barriers to development in the planning period. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, programs should be added or modified to comply with surplus land act requirements, if applicable, target numerical objectives consistent with the inventory and commit to a schedule of actions to facilitate development, including alternative actions if necessary.
Environmental Constraints: While the element generally describes a few environmental conditions within the City, it must relate those conditions to identified sites and describe any other known environmental or other constraints that could impact housing development on identified sites in the planning period, such as lot shape, access, contamination, overlays, and easements.
Electronic Sites Inventory: For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/housing-elements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance. 155 Item 8 B.
Katie Herlihy, Director
Programs: Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types.
3. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including… …land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures…(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).) Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities…(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).) Fees and Exaction: While the element provides a general overview of fees in the City, it should further analyze the total fees as a proportion to the overall development cost. Upon this analysis, the element may need to add or modify programs to reduce fees, as appropriate.
Other Locally Adopted Ordinances – Incentives for Community Benefit: While the element provides some general information on the City’s Incentives for Community Benefit Ordinance, it should analyze the Ordinance’s impact on housing supply and affordability. For example, the element should describe the process which applicants must go through to qualify for these incentives, including any discretionary hearings or standards that might apply. Upon this analysis, the element may need to add or modify a program, as appropriate.
Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: Program 3.4 commits to permit large residential care facilities in zones where residential uses are permitted but should also clarify these uses will be permitted regardless of licensing and similar to other uses of the same type in the same zone.
Programs: Upon a complete analysis of potential governmental constraints, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.
The element will meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law once it has been revised and adopted to substantially comply with the above requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65585.
Public participation in the development, adoption, and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly 156
Item 8 B.
Katie Herlihy, Director
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.
Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.
For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.
HCD appreciates the hard work, dedication, and responsiveness the City’s housing element team provided during the update and review. We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jose Ayala, of our staff, at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager
