B. WHEREAS, BIA is in need of a reliable meeting room to conduct regular Board meetings and to plan and execute BIA events such as annual Sip N’ Strolls; and C.

conflict arises wherein the City needs to use the Facilities at the same time as the BIA is scheduled to use the Facilities, City will have priority in using the Facilities. City agrees to provide the BIA as much notice as practically possible so that the BIA may notify its members of the change in venue in a timely manner. The
organization may request use of the Facilities on other dates and times as needed, and the City may approve or deny such requests in its discretion. If the request is approved, City and BIA agree that no further payment obligations will arise unless by separate agreement of the Parties.

Subject: Drilling and Mining
Dear Capitola City Council,
I am writing regarding Item 8A on your January 22, 2026 agenda concerning Capitola’s ordinance addressing onshore facilities that support offshore drilling. Thank you for hearing this matter.

It is abhorrent that such action is even necessary, but here we are. I know each of you understands the myriad threats posed by these potential activities, so I will focus on the essential point: please support life and the Save Our Shores effort by strengthening the ordinance and explicitly include seabed mining.

All the best,

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: Community and Economic Development Department
Subject: Local Coastal Program Amendments for Cliff Drive Resiliency Recommended Action: Adopt an ordinance amending Capitola Municipal Code Title 17: Zoning, Chapter

17.32 Parks and Open Space, Chapter 17.64 ESHA, Chapter 17.76 Parking and Loading, and Chapter

17.68 Geological Hazard (collectively, the “Zoning Code Amendments”) and authorizing submittal to the California Coastal Commission for Certification.

Background: The Public Works Department initiated the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project as a comprehensive effort to address bluff erosion, sea level rise, and stormwater drainage impacts along the Cliff Drive corridor while also enhancing pedestrian, bicycle, and coastal access. The project extends from the western City limit to Capitola Village and includes connections to Hooper Beach and the Capitola Wharf overlook. Following an August 2024 presentation regarding alternatives for the project, the City Council reviewed the feasibility study and directed staff to move forward with Alternative 3 for full bluff protection, which includes continuous bluff stabilization along the project length, a Class I facility, cantilevered sections where needed, overlooks, and reconfigured parking.

The City hosted a community meeting on August 12, 2025, and presented an overview of the project.

The City Council received an update on the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project on August 28, 2025. At that meeting, staff discussed utilizing a phased approach due to overall cost and the current $10.5 million committed funding through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Emergency Relief Program.

Before moving forward with the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project, the City must amend two planning documents that guide future development along the corridor. The City received a $500,000 Coastal Commission LCP grant for the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project. As part of the grant contract, the City is required to update Capitola’s Local Coastal Program relative to the Cliff Drive improvements.

Capitola’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) is the guiding policy and regulatory framework for development and resources within the City's Coastal Zone. There are two key components to a Local Coastal Program.

The LCP Land Use Plan is a long-range planning document that establishes broad policies for land use, coastal access, habitat protection, and hazard management. The LCP Implementation Plan (sections of CMC Title 17 Zoning Code) contains specific zoning standards, ordinances, and procedures to carry out the Land Use Plan policies. The City must amend the two documents to update outdated references and policies related to Cliff Drive resilience planning. These updates address increased coastal erosion, sealevel rise, and public access needs.

On September 4, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Local Coastal Program Amendments, received public comment, voted to recommend the City Council adopt the proposed LCP Implementation Plan amendments, and voted to continue the LCP Land Use Plan amendments due to additional edits requested during the meeting.

On October 2, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the additional LCP Land Use Plan amendments, received public comment, and forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council to adopt.

On January 8, 2026, the City Council unanimously approved the introduction of the ordinance. The Council also unanimously adopted a resolution for the LCP Land Use Plan, with one minor edit to Section

2. Discussion: The following list contains the sections of the LCP proposed for amendments:
75 Item 7 C.

1. CMC Chapter 17.32 Parks and Open Space

2. CMC Chapter 17.64 ESHA

3. CMC Chapter 17.76 Parking and Loading

4. CMC Chapter 17.68 Geological Hazards

5. Capitola’s Land Use Plan Chapter 2: Public Access

6. Capitola’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan Chapter 7: Natural Hazards The update to Chapter 17.32: Parks and Open Space includes a new allowance for improvements along Cliff Drive related to the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project, as well as new limitations for development to ensure it is subordinate to recreational, scenic, or natural resources and prohibited on beaches except for public facilities (such as flumes, jetties, beach erosion control structures, lifeguard stands, etc.).

Chapter 17.68: Geological Hazards amendments create consistency in the definition of bluff/Seacliff, introduce a definition for coastal hazards, expand the purpose statement of the geological hazards overlay, remove references to outdated documents for geological reports, and remove the reference to the economic life of the project while maintaining a minimum fifty-year standard. The amendment to Chapter 17.64: Ecologically Sensitive Habitat Areas clarifies that resource-dependent uses (low-intensity public access and recreation, nature study, restoration) are included as an exception for development within ESHA.

The amendment to Chapter 17.76: Parking and Loading corrects the reference to the Southern Pacific railroad right-of-way by replacing it with the Regional Transportation Commission.

The proposed Land Use Plan amendments would update descriptions of existing conditions, replace references to Southern Pacific Railroad with the Regional Transportation Commission, amend policies to include support for multi-modal enhancements, public access, coastal planning for sea-level rise, shoreline structures, and drainage, and introduce new policies for future climate adaptation planning.

At the January 8, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to make one minor edit to Land Use Plan Chapter 2: Public Access. Specifically, the implementation section under Policy II-4 was updated to remove the reference to the Village and Park Avenue area since the policy had been amended to focus specifically on Cliff Drive.

Environmental Review: Adoption of the LUP and IP Amendments is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.9, which exempts activities and approvals by any local government for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program or long-range land use development plan under the Coastal Act. Further, the Project is categorically exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 15061(b)(3)).

Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impacts.

17.64.040 Soquel Creek, Lagoon, and Riparian Corridor.

17.64.050 Monarch butterfly habitat – Rispin-Soquel Creek and Escalona Gulch.

17.64.010 Purpose.

This chapter establishes standards to protect and preserve environmentally sensitive habitat areas in Capitola consistent with Capitola’s general plan, local coastal program (LCP), and the requirements of the Coastal Act. (Ord. 1043 § 2 (Att. 2), 2020)

17.64.020 Applicability.

This chapter applies to the following environmentally sensitive habitat areas. Environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) are any areas in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments. ESHA includes wetlands, coastal streams and riparian vegetation, and terrestrial ESHA, including habitats of plant and animal species listed under the federal or California Endangered Species Act. The ESHA map identifies properties in the general location of sensitive habitats. The precise location of sensitive habitats within a site shall be identified in the biological study as required within Section 17.64.030(G) (Biological Study). In addition, the following areas are categorically ESHA as identified in Capitola’s LCP:

A. Soquel Creek, Lagoon, and Riparian Corridor.

B. Noble Gulch Riparian Corridor.

C. Tannery Gulch Riparian Corridor.

D. Monarch butterfly habitat – Rispin-Soquel Creek and Escalona Gulch. (Ord. 1043 § 2 (Att. 2), 2020)

17.64.030 General standards.

The following standards apply to all environmentally sensitive habitat areas:

A. Allowable Development within Sensitive Habitat Area. The only allowed development within the sensitive habitat areas as identified in the biological study required in subsection G of this section (Biological Study) shall be those uses dependent on the resource (e.g., low-intensity public access and recreation, nature study, restoration). The only new uses allowed in wetlands and streams/riparian areas shall be those specified in Coastal Act Sections 30233 and 30236, respectively.

B. Impact Prevention. Allowable development within an environmentally sensitive habitat area shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade the area. 85 Item 7 C.

The Capitola Municipal Code is current through Ord. 1067, and legislation passed through November 14, 2024.

C. Long-Term Protection. Allowable development shall be sited, designed, and maintained to achieve the long-term protection of the environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

D. Prohibited Areas for Development. With the exception of restoration and resource protection and enhancement activities and resource-dependent uses as set forth in A above, no new development may encroach into the waters of Soquel Creek or Lagoon, be sited within the root zone of riparian or butterfly host trees, or require the removal of trees in a monarch butterfly habitat area which provide roosting habitat or wind protection.

E. Minimum Setbacks.

1. Development may not encroach into required minimum setbacks from environmentally sensitive habitat areas as shown in Table 17.64-1 (Required Setbacks from Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas), except as allowed in subsection (E)(2) of this section. The setbacks listed below are minimums and may be increased depending on the findings of the biological study required in subsection G of this section.

Table 17.64-1: Required Setbacks from Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas Environmentally Sensitive Habitat
Area Minimum Setback
Soquel Creek and Lagoon 35 feet from the western shoreline of Soquel Creek Lagoon [1]
Soquel Creek Riparian Corridor 25 feet from the outer edge of riparian vegetation. On the heavily developed east side of the lagoon and creek (from Stockton Avenue to Center Street) the setback
requirement shall be measured from the bank of Soquel
Creek. In no case may the setback be located on the
west side of the pedestrian path.

Noble Gulch Riparian Corridor 35 feet from the outer edge of riparian vegetation Tannery Gulch Riparian Corridor 50 feet from the outer edge of riparian vegetation Other ESHA A setback sufficient to ensure the protection of ESHA habitat values as identified in the biological study as required within subsection G of this section (Biological Study).

Note:
[1] Does not apply to public facilities outside the coastal zone. Within the coastal zone, applies to public facilities unless otherwise specified in Section 30233 of the Coastal Act.

2. To allow for a minimum level of development on a physically constrained lot, the city may allow a reduction to the required minimum setback; provided, that a biological study determines that the reduced setback does not have a significant adverse effect on the ESHA and its habitat value.

The Capitola Municipal Code is current through Ord. 1067, and legislation passed through November 14, 2024.

F. Setback Exceptions on Developed Lots.

1. The city may grant an exception to the minimum setbacks in subsection E of this section (Minimum Setbacks) for the following projects on developed lots:
a. An addition or modifications to an existing single-family home, or an accessory structure, that does not extend closer to the environmentally sensitive habitat area, and provided the addition or modification or accessory structure is compatible with, and will not significantly degrade, the ESHA and/or its habitat values.

2. A “developed lot” means a lot that is developed or utilized to its ultimate potential use according to the applicable zoning district. For example, an R-1 lot that contains a single-family home or a permitted public/quasi-public use is considered developed. A residential or commercial lot that is vacant or used periodically for temporary uses (e.g., seasonal holiday sales) is not considered developed.

3. The city may grant an exception with the approval of an administrative permit, or a coastal development permit for sites located within the coastal zone, upon finding that the project is:
a. Sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade environmentally sensitive habitat areas;

H. Waiver of Biological Study. The city may waive the requirement of a biological study on a developed lot if a project is proposed in a previously developed area of the lot and the project will not degrade the ESHA and/or its habitat values.

I. Conservation Easements and/or Deed Restrictions. If necessary and appropriate to protect natural areas and ESHA, the city shall require a permanent conservation easement or deed restriction over any portion of the property containing environmentally sensitive habitat areas and their required setbacks.

J. Erosion Control and Water Quality.

1. All development shall conform to erosion control and water quality requirements consistent with federal, state, and local regulations. Within riparian areas, allowed grading shall be minimized within the riparian setback area. Grading shall not be permitted to damage the roots of riparian trees or trees within butterfly habitat areas. Grading shall only take place during the dry season.

2. During construction, erosion control measures shall be implemented, including limiting removal of vegetation, minimizing exposure of bare soils, replanting disturbed soils with suitable native species, controlling runoff, and preventing sedimentation from entering drainages. All areas outside the immediate construction areas shall not be disturbed. The city shall require measures for temporary drainage retention during construction, including mulching, erosion control seeding, and other measures as needed to prevent any sediment from reaching sensitive habitat areas.

K. Removal of Native Riparian Trees. Removal of native riparian trees within riparian corridors is prohibited unless it is determined by the community development director, on the basis of an arborist report, that such removal is in the public interest by reason of good forestry practice, disease of the tree, or safety considerations.

L. Dead Trees in Riparian Corridors. Snags, or standing dead trees, shall not be removed from riparian corridors unless in imminent danger of falling, where same would lead to a public safety issue. Removal shall be consistent with all applicable provisions of Chapter 12.12 (Community Tree and Forest Management). Any removed tree shall be replaced with a healthy young tree of an appropriate native riparian species or appropriate habitat for monarch butterflies.

M. Landscaping Plan. A landscaping plan shall be prepared for proposed developments that identifies the location and extent of any proposed modification to existing vegetation and the locations, kinds, and extent of new landscaping. The emphasis of such plans shall be on the maintenance and enhancement of native species, the removal of existing invasive species, and the enhancement of natural habitat. New invasive plant or tree species are prohibited, with the exception of species which positively contribute to monarch butterfly habitat.

N. Wood-Burning Fireplaces. Wood-burning fireplaces shall be prohibited in structures built on sites where monarch butterflies may be disturbed due to chimney smoke. The city discourages wood-burning fireplaces for residential uses in all other areas of Capitola. (Ord. 1043 § 2 (Att. 2), 2020)

17.68.010 Definitions. For purposes of this chapter the following definitions shall apply:

A. "Bluff or Seacliff” means a landform that includes a scarp or steep face of rock adjacent to the bay or ocean and meeting one of the following two parameters:
a. The toe is now or was historically (generally within the last two hundred years) subject to marine erosion.
b. The toe of which lies within an area otherwise identified in Public Resources Code Section 30603(a)(1) or (a)(2).
or cliff" means the scarp or steep face of rock, decomposed rocks, sediment or soil resulting from erosion, faulting, folding or excavation of land mass and exceeding ten feet in height, and includes what we commonly know as "cliffs." B. "Floodplain" means the land on either side of the creek or other watercourse which may be subject to flooding, includes 90 Item 7 C.

Chapter 17.68 – GH Geologic Hazards District
2 but is not necessarily limited to any one-hundred year floodplain, as determined by the Federal Flood Insurance Program.

C. "Geological hazard" means a threat to life, property or public safety caused by geological or hydrological processes such as faulting and secondary seismic effects, including but not limited to: liquefaction, landsliding, erosion, flooding, tsunami, or storm wave inundation. (Ord. 628 §2 (part), 1987).

D. “Coastal hazard” includes but is not limited to episodic and long-term shoreline retreat and coastal erosion, high seas, ocean waves, storms, tsunami, tidal scour, wave overtopping, coastal flooding, landslides, bluff and geologic instability, bluff retreat, liquefaction and their interaction, many of which are likely to worsen with sea level rise.

17.68.020 Applicability. The regulations set forth in this chapter apply in all GH districts. (Ord. 628 §2 (part), 1987).

17.68.030 Purpose. The GH district is designed to inform property owners and potential property owners of lands which are located in areas containing geological hazards, including, but not limited to, floodplains, fault zones, known landslide areas, bluffs, tsunami inundation areas, and high liquefaction areas.

Along the shoreline and in areas subject to coastal hazards, the GH district is also designed (a) to protect and enhance bluff, shoreline, offshore, and sandy beach recreational areas for public use and enjoyment while ensuring all development (including private structures and public infrastructure)is safe from coastal hazards as much as possible both now and in the future; and (b) to ensure that otherwise allowable development is sited, designed, and conditioned to minimize risks to life and property, to avoid being subject to coastal hazards, and where development cannot entirely avoid coastal hazards, to appropriately mitigate for all adverse impacts to coastal resources, including to bluff, shoreline, offshore, and sandy beach recreational areas.
(Ord. 628 §2(part), 1987).

17.68.040 Combining district. Land classified GH shall also have a basic zoning classification as defined in Chapters 17.12 through 17.45. For example, R-1-GH means that the R-1 district regulations apply as well as the GH regulations. (Ord. 628 §2(part), 1987).

access elements where feasible (Ord. 628 §2(part), 1987).

17.68.100 Bluff and seacliff area regulations. In the GH district:

A. Bluff and seacliff top development shall be permitted only if the design and setback provisions are designed to assure stability and structural integrity for the expected life of the development(at least fifty years;)and if the development (including storm runoff, foot traffic, grading and irrigation) will neither create nor contribute significantly to erosion problems or geological instability of the site or surrounding areas.

B. A geologic/engineering report shall be required for any blufftop or seacliff development which is proposed within two hundred feet of the seacliff edge. In specific areas of known geological stability or where adequate protective devices already exist (as determined by adequate geologic evaluation and historic evidence), a lesser area of demonstration may be designated. The city may designate a greater area of
demonstration or exclude development entirely in areas of known high instability. (Ord. 677 §15 (A), 1989; Ord. 628 §2(part), 1987).

17.68.110 Earthquake fault areas.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Use Agreement for Capitola City Hall Council Community Room Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area for use of the City Hall Community Room for the next three years.

Background: The Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area (BIA) non-profit organization coordinates community events, such as seasonal Sip N’ Strolls, and holds regular Board meetings. The BIA uses the Capitola City Hall Community Room to conduct board meetings and to plan its various events.

The Community Room is a multi-use space essential to City operations, hosting mandated advisory body meetings, staff training, staff meetings, and overflow for City Council and Planning Commission meetings.

When not in use for City business, the room is available to partner agencies, local businesses, and community groups at no cost.

Due to high demand, the City currently limits reservations to a three-month rolling window via an online management system. This administrative process requires approximately five hours of staff time per month across three staff members to coordinate schedules, minimize conflicting reservations, and ensure the room remains available for high-priority City functions.

The BIA has expressed a need for consistent, long-term access to the Community Room to facilitate planning efforts over the next several years. To accommodate this, the organization has requested the ability to secure recurring reservations beyond the standard three-month limit.

Discussion: As the City has a contractual relationship with the BIA nonprofit, and provides the nonprofit significant annual funding, Staff recommends establishing a formalized use agreement with the BIA nonprofit organization. This agreement would grant the organization the necessary scheduling flexibility to ensure successful event execution while reducing the monthly administrative burden of manual booking.

Should the City Council approve this agreement, the Community Room will be reserved for BIA Board meetings on the second Tuesdays of each month from 8:30 AM to 10:00 am, and for additional time in February, May, and November to accommodate the planning of typical special events, making it unavailable for other public or City uses during those times. To mitigate any potential impact on City operations, the agreement will include provisions ensuring that essential City business or emergency sessions take precedence over scheduled partner use.

Additionally, if the City Council adopts a use fee for the Community Room during the proposed threeyear contract, the BIA would be required to pay the non-profit rate adopted for the use of the room from that point forward.

Fiscal Impact: Potentially none. The Community Room is currently available free of charge.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Offshore Oil Drilling
Recommended Action: Authorize the Mayor to submit a letter opposing the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s proposed 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil & Gas Leasing Program.

Background: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, is responsible for managing development of the nation’s offshore resources. In 2025, BOEM released its proposed 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil & Gas Leasing Program (Proposed 11th Program), which would establish a framework for potential offshore oil and gas lease sales on the U.S.

Outer Continental Shelf for the upcoming program period.

Although the Proposed 11th Program does not identify specific lease sale locations at this time, it creates the potential for future offshore oil and gas development in federal waters, including areas offshore of Central California and even within the boundaries of National Marine Sanctuaries. BOEM is currently accepting public comment on the Proposed 11th Program as part of the federal review process through January 23, 2026.

In the late 1980s, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties helped to form the Central Coast Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Regional Studies Program to integrate science and policy on OCS proposals, supporting findings that drilling threatened coastal environments, economies, and resources. This regional effort prevented several federal proposals from opening oil and gas drilling operations in the OCS and led to the establishment of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS).

In support of this effort and to align with regional policies, the Capitola City Council voted unanimously to prohibit onshore facilities for offshore oil in April 1987. That prohibition remains in effect today and is codified in the City’s Zoning Code as Municipal Code Section 17.96.090 (Attachment 1). The adopted ordinance prohibits the construction, reconstruction, operation, or maintenance of any commercial industrial offshore oil development support facility within the City. Prohibited facilities and activities include any facility that operates directly in support of any offshore oil or gas exploration, development, drilling, pumping, or production (e.g., oil or gas storage facilities).

The current ordinance is effective at preventing offshore oil development because without access to nearby onshore facilities (e.g., ports, pipelines, storage yards, processing facilities) drilling projects become logistically impractical or prohibitively expensive. By adopting the current ordinance in the 1980s, the City became part of California’s “Blue Wall”, which refers to a network of local zoning protections enacted by coastal cities and counties that restrict or prohibit the construction of onshore facilities needed to support offshore oil development. To fortify the “Blue Wall”, approximately 27 coastal jurisdictions adopted laws requiring local approval (often voter approval) for any onshore support facilities. The City of Capitola’s current ordinance is stricter than those adopted by other local jurisdictions, given that it outrightly prohibits any such support facilities, rather than including a requirement for voter approval.

The City’s ordinance, as currently adopted, does not specifically call out restrictions on support facilities for seabed mining activities. BOEM’s primary focus for the Proposed 11th Program is on scheduling oil and gas lease sales and does not include seabed mining as part of that specific oil and gas leasing program. Although seabed mining is not formally included as part of the Program’s schedule or scope, parallel BOEM actions indicate that the agency is also advancing planning and potential leasing for critical minerals on or near the seabed in waters of the United States. 106
Item 8 A.

Recently, there have been numerous local and state governments opposing the latest federal effort to allow oil drilling in environmentally sensitive ocean areas. On June 10, 2025, the City of Santa Cruz’s City Council unanimously adopted a resolution confirming the City’s commitment to prohibiting offshore drilling in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and authorized the Mayor of Santa Cruz to send a letter opposing BOEM’s Proposed 11th Program.

On June 22, 2025, the County of Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors approved the launch of regional coordination efforts among local communities in the State of California focused on offshore drilling policy advocacy and calling for multi-jurisdictional support. On November 18, 2025, the City of Santa Cruz’s City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of Santa Cruz and executed a Professional Services Agreement with Save Our Shores to coordinate efforts to strengthen regional opposition to offshore drilling and seabed mining.

At the November 13, 2025, Capitola City Council meeting, Council Member Orbach requested that an item regarding City ordinances preventing offshore oil drilling and seabed mining activities be added to a future agenda for discussion. In preparation, staff will present this topic to the City’s Commission on the Environment (COE) during a regularly scheduled COE meeting on January 21, 2026. Feedback from the COE will be presented to the City Council on January 22nd.

Discussion: The City of Capitola has adopted policies supporting environmental protection, coastal stewardship, and climate action. The City’s economy, quality of life, and community identity are closely tied to a clean, healthy ocean and coastline. Offshore oil and gas development poses documented risks, including oil spills, chronic pollution, harm to marine ecosystems, and negative impacts on tourism, recreation, and fisheries.

The Proposed 11th Program also presents inconsistencies with state and federal laws. The City’s coastline borders the MBNMS, which receives federal protection from offshore oil and gas exploration, development, and production within its boundaries under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. These protections are reinforced by California state laws, such as the Coastal Zone Management Act, which requires federal consistency with state coastal policies. Together, the state and federal laws are intended to preserve the ecological health, scenic value, and economic benefits of the Monterey Bay coastline.

Additionally, expansion of offshore oil and gas leasing is inconsistent with state and local climate goals aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources. The State of California and the City have made clear policy commitments to addressing climate change and protecting coastal resources, and offshore drilling is inconsistent with those objectives.

As part of the regional coordination effort, Save Our Shores representatives are currently reviewing Santa Cruz City and County ordinances against offshore drilling to strengthen their legal defensibility and include protections against the new threat of seabed mining. Staff propose no changes to the City’s current ordinance at this time to allow for a coordinated approach with neighboring jurisdictions in support of a shared coastal policy.

Authorizing the Mayor to submit a formal comment letter (Attachment 2) opposing the Proposed 11th Program allows the City of Capitola to document its concerns about the Program, join regional coordination efforts with coastal communities in opposing offshore drilling, and ensure that the City’s voice is part of BOEM’s public comment record.

Alignment with 2025-2029 Strategic Plan Priority: Accountable Government; Community Safety; Healthy Families, Community, and Environment; Sustainable Infrastructure Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
1849 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20240
RE: Docket ID BOEM-2025-0483 — 11th National OCS Oil & Gas Leasing Draft Proposed Program
Dear Mr. Giacona:

The City of Capitola (City) respectfully submits these comments strongly opposing the Proposed 11th National Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil & Gas Leasing Draft Proposed Program (Proposed 11th Program) as it pertains to the State of California and, specifically, the Central Coast of California.

Previous efforts to promote new offshore oil were defeated in the Central California region due to impacts on tourism, agriculture, and commercial and recreational fishing, the acceleration of climate change, and effects on the diverse wildlife and habitats.

As lease sales under the Proposed 11th Program are now scheduled to begin as early as 2027, the current plan places the City and its surrounding protected marine environment at imminent risk. Consequently, the City Council voted X-X-X at its January 22, 2026, meeting to formally oppose the proposed offshore oil lease sales scheduled for 2027 and 2029 in the Central California planning area.

Violation of Federal, State, and Local Laws
The Proposed 11th Program conflicts with a range of federal, state, and local laws and regulations designed to protect the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) and California’s coast. Federally, the National Marine Sanctuaries Act and its implementing regulations (15 C.F.R.

Part 922) expressly prohibit exploring for, developing, or producing oil, gas, or minerals within the sanctuary boundaries, and any new lease issuance that would authorize such activities inside those boundaries would be inconsistent with these protections. At the state level, the Proposed 11th Program violates the Coastal Zone Management Act, which requires federal consistency with state coastal policies. Locally, in April 1987, the Capitola City Council voted unanimously to prohibit onshore facilities for offshore oil, in part due to the effect that offshore oil and gas development would have on its economic base (Municipal Code Section 17.96.090).

Tourism and the Local Economy
The City of Capitola, with a population of approximately 9,500, is a popular beach tourism destination centered around the Capitola Village with seaside shopping and restaurants, world renowned surfing, and many other outdoor recreational activities. Tourism-related revenues, including transient occupancy tax and parking revenues, represent a significant portion of the City’s discretionary revenue and are highly dependent on visitor activity.

Historically the Capitola Municipal Wharf has been a center for recreational fishing and the waters surrounding it have been popular for salmon, crab, and varieties of rockfish, owing in part to the 110
Item 8 A.

Telephone: (831) 475-7300
FAX: (831) 479-8879
Website: http://www.cityofcapitola.org
nearby offshore Soquel Canyon. This popular outdoor activity supports the visitor-based economy of the City.

Recent events such as ocean storm damage to the Capitola Wharf and Village in 2023 greatly impacted the City, which suffered approximately $2.5 million in storm damage, coupled with losses in business activity and employment. An oil spill would have similar negative effects on the City’s economy, with the addition of increased cleanup and repair costs to impacted facilities.

Offshore oil and gas drilling poses significant risks to the economy of a beachside city, where tourism, recreation, and small businesses depend on a clean and healthy coastal environment.

For a coastal community whose economic vitality is closely tied to its natural resources and scenic coastline, potential oil spills or industrial accidents from offshore drilling would discourage visitation, be detrimental to the City’s local revenue, and compromise public well-being.

Climate Considerations
The Proposed 11th program also conflicts with the State’s and City’s well-established policies to protect coastal resources and address climate change. The Proposed 11th Program prioritizes fossil fuel extraction incentives and would undermine state and local efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to clean energy, and build climate resilience. At a time when coastal communities are already facing sea level rise, erosion, and other climate-related impacts, further investment in fossil fuel development is inconsistent with both sound public policy and environmental responsibility.

Ecological Impacts
The rich and diverse ecosystems around the City and within the MBNMS support dozens of marine mammals (e.g., sea otters, sea lions, and multiple whale species), seabirds, fish, and invertebrates, along with critical habitats such as kelp forests, rocky reefs, estuaries, and upwelling zones that fuel food webs.

Activities affiliated with offshore drilling (e.g., increased vessel traffic, noise pollution, and significant risks of oil spills) could disrupt natural patterns for feeding, communication, migration, and breeding behaviors of marine protected species. Even small oil spills or leaks could have long-term ecological impacts on sensitive habitats within the MBNMS such as kelp beds and intertidal zones, leading to elevated mortality, reproductive harm, and population declines. These risks pose serious threats to recreational and commercial fisheries and would compromise decades of progress made within the MBNMS to restore and protect keystone species and their critical habitats.

Considering the impacts of the Proposed 11th Program, the City strongly recommends that BOEM:

1. Exclude the State of California and, specifically, the Central Coast, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and adjacent waters from the Program to protect sensitive ecosystems and coastal communities.

2. Prioritize renewable energy development and alternatives to fossil fuel extraction that are consistent with state and local regulations.

3. Enhance coordination with state and local governments and Tribes, ensuring federal actions are fully consistent with local coastal plans and climate action goals.

4. Require completion of site-specific environmental review, including cumulative impact assessments and climate risk modeling, prior to any lease consideration.

The Central Coast of California is a region of exceptional ecological, cultural, and economic value.

Its offshore waters support diverse marine life and working coastal economies, while its beaches and coastal access define the character and quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The City of Capitola urges BOEM to recognize the strong opposition of local coastal communities and to remove California’s Central Coast waters from consideration under the Proposed 11th Program.

Sincerely,
Margaux Morgan

Some history
• In 1980s, US Rep. Leon Panetta obtained annual
moratoria on funding activities to support offshore oil. • After a failed compromise, proposed moratorium lost
by one vote in Appropriations Committee in 1985.
• This allowed plans to lease federal waters for offshore oil to proceed.

Frustrated, Santa Cruz City
leaders formulated a local
strategy.

In November 1985 82% of Santa
Cruz City voters agreed to:

1. Subject zoning changes for
onshore facilities for offshore
oil to a vote of the people,
and

2. Spend funds to spread the
idea in California.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Support for Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Direction on Coastal Rail Trail Segments 10–11 and Evaluation of the Capitola Trestle
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution expressing support for the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s December 4, 2025 action advancing an Interim Trail configuration for Coastal Rail Trail Segments 9–11 and directing evaluation of the historic Capitola trestle for interim bicycle and pedestrian use.

Background: The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) owns and manages the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line includes of the Capitola trestle and serves as the lead agency for planning and coordination of the Coastal Rail Trail in partnership with local jurisdictions.

On December 4, 2025, the RTC approved a resolution accepting the Zero Emission Passenger Rail and Trail (ZEPRT) Final Project Concept. As part of that action, the RTC approved multiple implementation directions affecting Coastal Rail Trail Segments 9–11, including:
 Directing staff to return within approximately two months with a proposal that would allow construction of an Interim Trail without the need for railbanking or adverse abandonment of the freight easement;
 Directing staff to bring forward a final design and take actions necessary to implement the Interim Trail on Segments 9–11 as expeditiously as feasible, while pausing further work on the Ultimate Trail configuration in those segments;
 Directing staff to pursue revised cooperative agreements with the City and County of Santa Cruz to implement the above direction; and
 Directing staff to pursue and return with options for retrofitting the historic Capitola trestle for interim bicycle and pedestrian use, either as part of Segment 11 or as a separate project.

The motion passed on a 7–5 vote.

At the City Council meeting on December 11, 2025, Councilmember Jensen requested a future agenda item for the City Council to support for the direction the RTC is taking related to advancing the Interim Trail and evaluating the Capitola trestle as part of the project.

The historic Capitola trestle is a key structure within the rail corridor and is necessary for long-term continuity of the Coastal Rail Trail through Capitola. At this time, the trestle is not included in the scope of the Coastal Rail Trail projects currently advancing through design and funding, though the project EIR includes an option in Alternative One that includes routing the trail over the trestle.

In November 2018, Capitola voters approved Measure L, codified as Capitola Municipal Code Chapter

8.72, which establishes requirements governing use of the rail corridor within City limits.

At a Special City Council meeting on April 17, 2025, the City Council affirmed its interpretation of Capitola Municipal Code Chapter 8.72 when considering rail trail alignment options. The Council confirmed the RTC/County trail may be built within the rail corridor in the City of Capitola, but not on City property or City rights-of-way, and that the City may construct and maintain its streets, sidewalks, and bike paths as the City Council sees fit.

Discussion: Expressing support for the RTC’s direction to construct the Interim Trail communicates the Council’s view of the project direction while preserving discretion over future project actions. 138
Item 8 B.

This action does not commit the City to a specific design, funding contribution, schedule, construction activity, or execution of agreements. The RTC has indicated it will return with additional proposals related to Interim Trail implementation, cooperative agreement updates.

Staff will continue to monitor these efforts and participate in coordination as appropriate. Any proposed agreements, funding participation, or project implementation actions affecting City property, regulatory authority, or financial resources would be brought forward to the Council for separate consideration and direction.

Any future actions related to the Coastal Rail Trail or trestle within the City would remain subject to applicable City policy and regulatory requirements, including Capitola Municipal Code Chapter 8.72.

Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Any future fiscal impacts would be evaluated and presented to the City Council as part of separate actions.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Introduction to Discover Capitola, the City’s Civic Engagement Program
Recommended Action: Receive report.

Background: The City of Capitola conducts a recurring civic engagement program designed to educate the public on the internal operations of local government. The primary objective is to illustrate how the City Council and professional staff collaborate to serve the Capitola community. Historically, the program consists of four evening workshops held during the late winter or early spring of even-numbered (election) years. While the program is tailored to Capitola, enrollment is open to all interested stakeholders and regional partners. The program is built upon a collaborative model, utilizing direct interaction between participants, City Officials, and partner agencies.

The goal of each session is to foster informed community involvement and strengthen the lines of communication between the City and the community. Participants learn how decisions are made, how City funds are allocated, and how City departments operate together. In addition to internal presentations, the program features guest speakers from the City’s partner agencies to provide a broader view of regional governance. Past participants have included representatives from the Soquel Union Elementary School District, Soquel Creek Water District, Central Fire District, and the Santa Cruz County Public Library System.

Civic engagement initiatives, often referred to as "Citizens' Academies," are a standard best practice in municipal government. Similar programs in the region include: the Town of Los Gatos, Leadership Los Gatos; the City of Scotts Valley, Citizens’ Academy; the City of Half Moon Bay, NET Community Academy (Network–Engage–Transform); the City of Watsonville, Watsonville Academy; and the City of Santa Cruz, (department-specific) Citizens’ Police Academy.

Administering this program is a resource-intensive endeavor, requiring significant staff hours to coordinate sessions, develop presentation materials, and facilitate the two-hour workshops. Given current staff capacity and community demand, the City has found a biennial (every two years) schedule to be the most sustainable model.

The program is intentionally scheduled during election years to serve as a foundational resource for residents considering public service. By providing an in-depth look at City operations before the filing period, the Academy helps potential candidates make informed decisions about running for office.

Discussion: In anticipation of the 2026 session, staff initiated a redesign of Capitola’s civic engagement program to create a dynamic, engaging, and community-focused experience. Now branded as “Discover Capitola,” the new program aims to encourage greater public interest and communication between the City and constituents. If successful, the 2026 session will serve as the new pilot model for future electionyear programming.

Discover Capitola’s curriculum was developed through research of other successful civic engagement programs from neighboring jurisdictions and input from past participants and City staff. The program will consist of four workshops scheduled outside of traditional business hours to maximize accessibility for working participants. The program will offer participants an overview of the Capitola community, including a transparent view into the “how” and “why” behind City services. 163
Item 8 C.

The four sessions are designed to promote public participation, help residents better understand how the City works, and frame the City’s role within the larger community.

February 11: Capitola 101
 Introduction from Mayor, “State of the City” presentation by City staff, highlights of current and upcoming City projects from Public Works and Community & Economic Development Departments.

February 24: Public Safety
 Presentations from Capitola Police Chief and Central Fire Chief, tour of Capitola Police Department.

March 3: Local Business
 Presentation from City staff and the Capitola Business Improvement Area and Capitola & Soquel Chamber of Commerce.

March 19: Community Identity
 Presentation from the Historical Museum on the history of Capitola, discussion of youth and adult programming from the Recreation and Community Services Department, and a presentation from the Santa Cruz Public Library System.

Each session is structured to facilitate interactive dialogue between presenters and participants, peer networking opportunities, and direct engagement with City leadership. During each session, staff will be seeking feedback from participants to ensure that Discover Capitola remains participant-centric and that the curriculum remains adaptable. Discover Capitola formally concludes at the City Council meeting on Thursday, March 26. During the meeting, the Council will formally recognize participants for completing the program.

The new program has been promoted through a press release, strategically placed print flyers throughout Capitola, social media outreach, inclusion in the Capitola Waves newsletter, and targeted email outreach to community stakeholders and previous City Council applicants. Those interested in participating must complete a brief application (link listed as Attachment 2) by January 28. As of January 16, the City has received 17 applications.

Fiscal Impact: None, staff resources to manage the program were included in the FY 25/26 Budget.

While a few local civic academies charge a fee for participants, the Capitola program is free. Several civic engagement programs held at local agencies are budgeted at $10,000 or more and include meals and transportation for participants.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: January 22, 2026
From: Administrative Services Department
Subject: Temporary/Hourly Employee Pay Schedule
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution amending the temporary/hourly employee pay schedule. (Continued from December 11, 2025, City Council meeting) Background: The City of Capitola employs temporary/hourly employees to provide services for the community. Most of these positions are within the Community Services and Recreation Department (CS&R), though other City departments also occasionally employ temporary/hourly workers. Temporary employees work either part-time or on a seasonal basis for a limited number of hours per fiscal year and are not regular City employees. Temporary employees are not represented by any union, are not subject to any existing memoranda of understanding (MOU) and are not eligible for City healthcare or pension benefits. For this reason, any wage increases are enacted by City Council action separate from the adoption of MOUs for other City bargaining groups.

On December 11, 2025, the City Council voted to continue this item until January 22, 2026, requesting:
 A mechanism (such as an ordinance or resolution) to avoid bringing temporary salary adjustments due to increases in the California minimum wage before the City Council for approval; and  Clarification of messaging regarding providing temporary employees cost of living adjustments while the City identified future deficits during the recent town hall meeting; and  Additional information regarding temporary salaries of other public agencies in the regions.

Discussion: The City Council last adjusted the temporary pay schedule in January 2025 to maintain compliance with California minimum wage requirements. The California minimum wage increased to $16.90 per hour from $16.50 per hour on January 1, 2026. The Recreation Facility Assistant classification is the lowest entry level position included in the temporary salary schedule with the first step of the pay schedule equal or close to California’s minimum wage. The pay rates for all other temporary classifications in the pay schedule are driven by the 1 st step of the Recreation Facility Assistant
classification and generally those pay rates are increased by the same percentage increase to minimize compaction of the pay rates throughout the pay schedule while complying with California’s minimum wage.

In order to facilitate compliance with the California minimum wage, staff recommends increasing all classifications within the temporary/hourly pay schedule by 2.49% which is the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) from Aug. 2024 – Aug. 2025. It should be noted that October CPI data is currently unavailable due to the federal government shutdown.

In California cities, the City Council generally must approve any changes to employee compensation, including cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for temporary workers. While the specific process may depend on whether the city is a general law city or a charter city, the ultimate authority usually rests with the Council to ensure transparency and proper stewardship of public funds. While City Council approval is generally required for employee compensation changes, staff will continue exploring procedural options to streamline future minimum wage compliance adjustments, consistent with applicable law and transparency requirements.

The proposed COLA for temporary employees was anticipated and included as part of the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. The majority of temporary employees work in CS&R programs and the registration fees for participants of those programs adopted by City Council June 26, 2025, were established with the 171
Item 8 D.
intent of offsetting the costs of the anticipated COLAs. If seasonal hourly wages are not adjusted by the CPI this year, the City will need to take that into account when CS&R registration fees are next evaluated in June 2026 with the fee schedule.

A review of temporary hourly wages among comparable public agencies in Santa Cruz County indicates the City of Capitola’s proposed pay schedule with a 2.49% COLA remains competitive while generally trending below or near regional averages, supporting workforce stability while maintaining fiscal responsibility. It is worth noting the City of Santa Cruz will be adjusting their seasonal pay rates by 4% in March. The following table summarizes the current salary comparison.

No classifications are being added to the schedule. If approved, the salary schedule (Attachment 2) will go into effect January 18, 2026, which is the current pay period. Alternatively, while all current temporary employees are receiving greater than minimum wage, the Council may make the action retroactive to January 4, 2026.

While the City Council has a history of approving this item annually, the City Council is not strictly required to revisit and approve increases as the City can set seasonal hourly pay at its own discretion. However at a minimum, the Recreation Facility Assistant position must be adjusted to comply with Minimum Wage.

While the City generally adjusts hourly pay annually, staff does not recommend establishing a fixed formula, or deferring authority to the City Manager, as allowing for flexibility in how the hourly pay is adjusted has been a component of prior responses to recessions when full-time staff had made economic concessions to help support the City’s response.
