Mayor Morgan, Vice Mayor Jensen, and Council Members Clarke, Orbach, and Westman:

I am a 22-year Capitola resident and will be attending the May 28th public hearing on the proposed transition to district-based elections. I am submitting the attached written comment in advance so that it may be included in the official record of that hearing and distributed with the agenda packet.

I intend to speak during public comment, but given the importance and permanence of the decision before the Council, I wanted to ensure that my full analysis and specific requests are documented in writing prior to the hearing.

My comment raises three concerns: the absence of any mandatory legal requirement compelling this transition; the financial structure and track record of the law firm whose demand letter initiated this process; and the significant — and very recent — change in federal constitutional law created by the Supreme Court's April 29, 2026 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which has not yet been assessed for its impact on the City's legal position under the CVRA.

I respectfully request that the attached written comment be entered in full into the official record and that the City Attorney be prepared to address, on the record at the May 28th hearing, whether a legal opinion specifically analyzing the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the City's CVRA obligations has been prepared.

My full comment is attached.

Respectfully,

1 Written Comment for the Official Record
City of Capitola — Public Hearing on District-Based Elections May 28, 2026
Submitted by: Marc Warshaw Address: 813 Capitola Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010-2179 Phone: (831) 521-7477 Email: [email protected] Date: May 28, 2026 RE: Opposition to Proposed Transition from At-Large to District-Based City Council Elections — Request for Independent Legal Review Prior to Any Further Action To the Mayor and Members of the Capitola City Council:

I am a 22 year resident of Capitola and submit this written comment for inclusion in the official record of the May 28, 2026 public hearing on the proposed transition to districtbased city council elections. I respectfully request that this comment be entered in full into the record and that the City Clerk confirm receipt.

I write in opposition to proceeding with this transition at this time, and in support of an immediate pause pending independent legal review. My objections are based on three grounds: (1) the absence of any genuine legal mandate compelling this action; (2) the nature and financial motivation of the entity driving the process; and (3) a material and very recent change in federal constitutional law that has not yet been assessed for its impact on the City’s legal position.

I. THERE IS NO MANDATORY LEGAL REQUIREMENT COMPELLING THIS TRANSITION The City Council and City staff have characterized this process as necessary to “comply” with California state law. That characterization is misleading and should be corrected for the record.

The California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (Cal. Elections Code §§ 14025–14032) does not automatically require any city to adopt district-based elections. The CVRA prohibits atlarge election systems that impair the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice. It creates a cause of action — a basis for a lawsuit — but it does not mandate a particular election structure absent a court finding or negotiated resolution following actual litigation.

As of the date of this hearing, the City of Capitola has not been sued under the CVRA. No court has made any finding that Capitola’s at-large election system has impaired the voting rights of any protected class. No government agency has issued any directive requiring this change. What the City has received is a demand letter from a private law firm.

The distinction matters enormously. A demand letter is not a court order. It is not a statute.

It is not a regulatory directive. It is a legal threat from a private party with a financial stake in the outcome. The City’s decision to frame compliance with that letter as compliance with 11 Item 3 B.
2 “state law” conflates these categories in a way that does not serve the public interest or the accuracy of the record.

II. THE ENTITY DRIVING THIS PROCESS HAS A DOCUMENTED FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE

OUTCOME
The demand letter was sent by Shenkman & Hughes, a Malibu-based law firm that has made issuing such letters to California cities its primary business practice since 2011. The firm’s model is straightforward: cities that comply voluntarily pay the firm $30,000 in statutory fees; cities that litigate face potentially millions in legal costs and have, to date, never prevailed in a CVRA lawsuit.

Several aspects of this pattern merit the Council’s attention:

Scale and targeting: The firm has sent hundreds of such demand letters across California, including to very small cities well below the population thresholds at which civil rights organizations with genuine community ties typically bring such actions.

MALDEF’s own standard: The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund — the nation’s leading Latino civil rights legal organization — has publicly stated that it does not bring these actions against cities with populations below 50,000. Capitola’s population is approximately 10,000. The gap between MALDEF’s threshold and Shenkman & Hughes’ targeting of Capitola is not incidental; it reflects a difference in mission and accountability.

Out-of-area clients: In documented cases in other cities, Shenkman & Hughes has identified out-of-state organizations — including a Texas-based group — as the named client in its demand letters, with no local residents as parties. The Council should request full disclosure of who, specifically, is the named client in the Capitola demand letter and what local standing that client possesses.

Financial structure: By accepting this transition and paying the $30,000 statutory fee, the City rewards the business model regardless of whether any genuine civil rights violation has occurred or been demonstrated. The Council should weigh whether that outcome serves Capitola’s residents or the interests of a private legal practice.

Councilmember Clarke’s observation at the April special session — that this represents “the overreach of an attorney from somewhere else making us do something we don’t like” — was an accurate characterization. It should inform the Council’s deliberation, not be set aside as a preliminary sentiment.

III. A MATERIAL CHANGE IN FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL LAW REQUIRES INDEPENDENT LEGAL

REVIEW BEFORE ANY FURTHER ACTION
This is the most urgent ground for the Council’s reconsideration, and the one most directly relevant to the timing of this hearing.

On April 29, 2026 — less than four weeks before this hearing — the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, 608 U.S. ___ (2026). The decision was issued by a 6-3 majority, with Justice Alito writing for the Court. Its implications for the CVRA are significant and have not yet been assessed in the context of this proceeding. 12 Item 3 B.
3 What the Court held: The Court struck down Louisiana’s 2024 congressional redistricting map — a map that had been drawn specifically to comply with Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act by creating a second majority-Black congressional district. The Court held that the map constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The majority held that drawing electoral districts based on racial composition and statistical analysis, without a demonstrated showing of explicit and intentional racial discrimination, cannot be justified as a Section 2 remedy and itself violates the Constitution.

The new standard: The Court substantially narrowed the operative test under Section 2 of the federal VRA. Under Callais, it is insufficient to point to statistical evidence of racially polarized voting outcomes. A plaintiff (or a government entity drawing districts in response to a lawsuit threat) must now demonstrate that the existing electoral arrangement was the product of intentional discrimination — a significantly higher and more demanding standard than the purely statistical approach that has driven CVRA enforcement to date.

The direct relevance to the CVRA: The California Voting Rights Act was explicitly designed to expand beyond the federal VRA by eliminating the requirement of geographic compactness and, critically, by permitting liability based on statistical disparity alone — without requiring proof of intent. This is precisely the mechanism Callais has placed in constitutional doubt. Legal analysts, election law scholars, and municipal law practitioners have already written in the weeks since Callais that the CVRA’s core enforcement mechanism may now be in direct conflict with the constitutional standard the Supreme Court has articulated.

To be clear: Callais did not explicitly strike down the CVRA. The CVRA is a state law, and the Supreme Court’s ruling addressed the federal VRA. But federal constitutional standards — Equal Protection, the Fourteenth Amendment — apply to state laws as well. If the CVRA’s enforcement mechanism requires cities to create race-conscious electoral districts based on statistical disparity alone, and if Callais holds that such race-conscious district creation without proof of intentional discrimination is itself unconstitutional, the CVRA faces a serious preemption and constitutional challenge for which there is no current controlling authority.

The risk of proceeding now: By finalizing a district structure and map before this constitutional question is resolved, the City of Capitola may:
• Create electoral districts that are themselves vulnerable to challenge as unconstitutional racial gerrymanders under Callais;
• Commit the City to a permanent structural change based on a legal framework that may no longer be constitutionally sound;
• Incur significant costs — consultant fees, legal fees, administrative costs — in reliance on a legal premise that is now materially in question; and • Foreclose the option of raising Callais as a defense against the Shenkman & Hughes demand, which the City has not yet done.

No responsible legal advisor — with full awareness of Callais — should be counseling this City to proceed on the current timeline without first addressing these questions. The Council should ask its City Attorney, on the record at this hearing, whether a legal opinion 13 Item 3 B.
4 specifically addressing the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the City’s CVRA exposure has been prepared, and if not, why not.

IV. THE PROPOSED CHANGE RAISES GENUINE CONCERNS ABOUT DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION IN A CITY OF CAPITOLA’S SIZE
Independent of the legal questions, the Council should consider whether district elections actually serve the representational interests of Capitola’s residents — including its Latino residents.

Capitola is a geographically compact city of approximately 10,000 residents. Under the proposed four-district structure, each district would contain roughly 2,500 residents.

Under a five-district structure, each district would contain approximately 2,000 residents — meaning a candidate could realistically win a seat with approximately 300 votes. The reduction in the electorate voting for each seat is not a marginal change; it is a fundamental restructuring of the community’s relationship to its elected government.

Currently, every registered voter in Capitola has a voice in the selection of every council member. District elections would reduce each voter’s direct influence to one seat out of five. In a city without sharply defined, geographically distinct neighborhoods — and where community identity has historically been citywide rather than ward-based — it is not selfevident that this fragmentation serves the democratic interests of any group of residents, including Latino residents whose population is distributed across the city.

The Council should also note that no Latino candidate has been shown to have been denied a seat on the Council as a result of the at-large system. The demand letter’s claims of dilution are statistical and theoretical, not demonstrated through documented instances of qualified Latino candidates losing races they should have won.

V. REQUESTED ACTIONS
For the foregoing reasons, I respectfully request that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Pause all further steps in this transition process pending completion of an independent legal review specifically addressing the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the City’s obligations and legal exposure under the CVRA.

2. Commission independent outside counsel — counsel with no prior relationship to the Shenkman & Hughes demand process and no institutional interest in a particular outcome — to provide a written opinion on whether, in light of Callais, the CVRA’s enforcement mechanism remains constitutionally sound and whether compliance with the Shenkman & Hughes demand letter is legally required.

3. Require full public disclosure of the identity and local standing of the named client in the Shenkman & Hughes demand letter.

4. Direct the City Attorney to appear at the next public hearing and state on the record whether a legal opinion addressing Louisiana v. Callais has been prepared, and if so, to make that opinion available to the public. 14 Item 3 B.
5 5. Consider alternative measures that may address any genuine representational concerns without permanently restructuring the City’s election system — including enhanced community outreach, support for candidate recruitment in underrepresented communities, and other reforms short of district elections.

The residents of Capitola are entitled to know that a decision of this permanence and consequence is being made on solid, current, and independently verified legal footing — not on a timetable driven by the financial interests of a private law firm, and not on legal assumptions that a recent Supreme Court ruling may have rendered obsolete.

I respectfully urge the Council to pause, seek independent counsel, and act in the genuine interest of all Capitola residents.

Agenda Item 7A - Transition to Districts
From Meghan D Morrissey <[email protected]>
Date Mon 5/25/2026 7:43 PM
To City Council <[email protected]>
Cc Mike Morrissey <[email protected]>
Dear Members of the City Council,
I am writing to encourage the Council to adopt the governance model consisting of four council districts plus a citywide elected mayor.

Our city is entering a period where collaborative, thoughtful, and unified leadership will be essential.

The challenges ahead require governance that encourages consensus-building, long-term planning, and decision-making that reflects the interests of the entire community rather than narrowly focused perspectives. As we work to strengthen the city’s financial position, prioritize investments, and manage expenses responsibly, it is increasingly important to have leadership that consistently takes a whole-city view.

An elected mayor would provide the city with one representative chosen by all residents whose responsibility is to consider the needs, priorities, and future of the entire community. A citywide elected mayor can help bring together differing viewpoints, encourage cooperation among council members, and help build broader agreement around important decisions affecting the city’s future.

This type of leadership is especially important as the city addresses issues such as:
long-term financial sustainability,
infrastructure planning,
economic vitality,
regional advocacy,
and maintaining a strong tourism-based economy.

As a tourism-dependent city, many of the decisions we make affect the community as a whole.

Visitor-serving businesses, public spaces, infrastructure, events, and the overall appearance and vitality of the city all contribute to the revenues that support essential city services. Maintaining and growing those revenues requires leadership that looks beyond individual neighborhoods and focuses on the long-term success and attractiveness of the entire city.

At the same time, maintaining district elections for council members preserves neighborhood representation and ensures that residents throughout the city continue to have a direct voice in local government.

The four-district model also creates somewhat larger districts, which may better serve a small city like ours. With only approximately 10,000 residents, five districts can result in very small district populations and encourage overly localized decision-making. In addition, we could face limited candidate pools in such small districts. Larger districts encourage council members to engage with a 5/26/26, 9:46 AM Inbox - Wyatt, Rosie - Outlook

broader cross-section of residents and consider the interests of the city more broadly. This structure can help foster collaboration and reduce fragmentation by encouraging representatives to think beyond individual neighborhoods and toward shared community goals.

Most importantly, the type of mayor our city needs is not a divisive political figure, but a consensus builder — someone capable of listening carefully, bringing people together, fostering collaboration among council members, and helping guide the city through difficult decisions with fairness, transparency, and a citywide perspective.

The four-district plus elected mayor model strikes an important balance between neighborhood representation and unified city leadership. It would position our city to work more collaboratively, think more strategically, and make decisions that support the long-term health, stability, and success of the entire community.

Thank you for your consideration and for your service to our city.

To City Council <[email protected]>
Dear Capitola City Council,
I support four districts and one at-large elected mayor because I believe protected classes of people should be heard and represented in our elections.

As the City’s demographer has demonstrated, Capitola does not contain a geographically concentrated majority-Latino area. Consequently, it is important that all residents — and particularly members of protected classes — have access to and representation from more than just their own districted councilmember.

Additionally, the strength of Capitola’s voice regionally is important. An at-large mayor can provide continuity and broader representation when engaging with neighboring jurisdictions, regional agencies, and other legislative bodies. I am agnostic as to whether the mayoral term should be two or four years, and the Council could choose either option with the intention of evaluating the impacts after four years.

41st Corridor Plan
From Routh, Michael <[email protected]>
Date Fri 5/22/2026 7:26 PM
To City Council <[email protected]>
Cc Kahn, Jessica <[email protected]>
Mayor and council members,
The 41st Ave - Capitola Road - Clares St Corridor plan Is something the community will live with for decades to come. During those years, Capitola will likely see the housing on the Mall site built out, plus potential redevelopment of other commercial sites along 41st Ave and Capitola Rd. The plan fails to address future potential development in the proposed plan area. It's like putting a coat of paint on a termite riddled house hoping that will solve all future problems.

Reducing a portion of Clares St to one lane makes absolutely no sense considering the adjacent Mall proposed housing. Did the city not learn a thing from the Bay Ave mess? A glaring omission is any consideration of working with the county to open 40th Ave. If 40th Ave connected to Clares, it would relieve the traffic at 41st and Gross Rd and along the parallel section of 41st Ave. It should be part of any future plan for 41st Ave.

A plan that fails to consider the additional 1700+ housing units, fails to consider 40th Ave as an additional arterial street, fails to meet future traffic needs is "thinking small" instead of "thinking big". I remember the days when Capitola used to "think big" - that's how the Clares St Loop was built, that's how Bay Ave was expanded to 4 lanes, that's how the Auto Center came about. Now "thinking big" is putting in speed bumps, flashing lights at crosswalks, No Right Turn signs, and re-striping streets - a bandaid approach that will never meet the future needs of our community.

If, as I expect to hear, this is a small step toward the future, what is the future concept for the 41st Ave corridor? Where is the Master Plan?

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 28, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: License and Right of Entry Agreement for Monterey Avenue Park Pathway Improvements
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute the License and Right of Entry Agreement between the City of Capitola and the Soquel Union Elementary School District for pathway improvements connecting Monterey Avenue Park and New Brighton Middle School.

Background: In 2024, the City and the Soquel Union Elementary School District completed a property exchange associated with the New Brighton Middle School redevelopment project and future improvements at Monterey Avenue Park. The exchange included portions of Monterey Avenue Park and District property intended to improve recreational facilities and maintain pedestrian connectivity between the school campus and surrounding neighborhoods.

As part of the New Brighton Middle School field redevelopment project, grading activities impacted an existing pedestrian connection between Monterey Avenue Park, Orchid Avenue, and the school campus.

The route had historically been used by students for walkable access to the school and by community members accessing Monterey Avenue Park.

The District subsequently prepared a pathway reconstruction and decomposed granite pathway improvement project. Improvements generally include minor grading, decomposed granite surfacing, localized drainage improvements, retaining features, accessibility improvements, and related appurtenant work.

Discussion: The proposed License and Right of Entry Agreement grants the District a temporary nonexclusive license to access City property within Monterey Avenue Park to construct the pathway improvements. Under the agreement, the District will fund and construct the improvements at no cost to the City. Following completion, the City will maintain the pathway and continue allowing public and student access.

The agreement formalizes continued pedestrian access between the school campus and Monterey Avenue Park following the New Brighton Middle School redevelopment project. The reconstructed pathway is intended to restore and improve a longstanding pedestrian connection serving nearby neighborhoods, park users, and students accessing the school campus.

The Soquel Union Elementary School District Board approved the agreement at their May 20, 2026, meeting. If approved by the Council, construction is anticipated to begin in June 2026.

The pathway improvements will be constructed under a City encroachment permit and subject to City inspection during construction.

Staff has been in contact with an adjacent property owner and offered to discuss potential options to address their privacy concerns.

California Environmental Quality Act: The pathway improvements are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15304, which exempt minor alterations to existing public facilities and minor grading or land alteration activities.

Fiscal Impact: The District will fund construction of pathway improvements. The City will assume ongoing maintenance responsibilities following project completion. Maintenance impacts are expected to be minor and accommodated within existing maintenance operations.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 28, 2026
From: Community & Economic Development Department
Subject: Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Anniversary Date Recommended Action: Rescind Resolution No. 4362 establishing an anniversary date of July 1, pursuant to Capitola Municipal Code Chapter 2.18 Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization, and adopt a resolution which specifies an anniversary date for rent increases at Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates to occur on October 1 of each year, and provides that other parks remain subject to the anniversary date of July 1.

Background: On May 25, 2023, the City Council established mobile home rent stabilization ordinances (RSO) through the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 1059 and 1060, codified in the Capitola Municipal Code as Chapter 2.18.

On April 25, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 4362, which established an anniversary date of July 1st for purposes of the RSO.

On March 17, 2025, Vieira Enterprise, Inc. the owner of the Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates mobile home park, served 90-day notices of an increase in rent from $641.76/month to $2,252.57/month. The homeowners petitioned for a rent review pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 2.18. Pursuant to an RFP, the City initially appointed an arbitrator on May 8, 2025, but the Park Owner subsequently objected to the appointment. Although the appointment power rests with the City, the City proceeded by an appointment selection process where both parties to the dispute could provide input as to the selection of the arbitrator.

Following this process, the City appointed an arbitrator on October 23, 2025.

On April 9, 2026, after an extensive briefing and hearing process, the City’s appointed Arbitrator issued a ruling that the Park Owner is owed a rent increase of $75.36 per month, along with a surcharge that lasts 60 months in the amount of $6.29. The rent increase is retroactive to July 1, 2025, as that is when the notice of the rent increase was supposed to go into effect.

Following the arbitration, Vieira Enterprise, Inc. requested the City adjust the anniversary date to allow them time to notice a rent increase for 2026, which would not have been possible with noticing requirements under the Mobilehome Residency Law under the current anniversary date. Under the ordinance, the Park Owner is allowed to increase rents once a year by right (provided the increase does not exceed the prescribed limit).

Discussion: Capitola Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 2.18: Mobile Home Rent Stabilization sets parameters for rent control regulations. CMC Section 2.18.060 specifies the City Council shall establish an anniversary date for all rent increases unless the space or park is exempt by law. Mobile home park owners are required to post the anniversary date in the park office or areas where it can easily be seen by homeowners.

The current anniversary date for rent increases is July 1. The attached resolution modifies the rent anniversary date from July 1 to October 1 for Cabrillo Mobile Home Estates and leaves other parks subject to the July 1 date. Mobile home park owners must continue to comply with provisions of California’s Mobile Home Residency Law for instituting rent increases, including Civil Code section 798.30, which requires at least 90 days’ notice before imposing a rent increase.

Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the proposed resolution.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 28, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: GreenWaste Annual Rate Adjustment
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution approving the contractual rate increase for collection and disposal of residential and commercial garbage, recycling, organics, food waste, yard waste, and construction and demolition debris, effective July 1, 2026, according to the Service Rate Schedule formula of the Franchise Agreement with GreenWaste Recovery, Inc.

Background: On October 14, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an amended and restated Franchise Agreement (“Agreement”) with GreenWaste Recovery, Inc. for collection and disposal of garbage, recycling, organics, food waste, yard waste, and construction and demolition debris for the City of Capitola. The Agreement is effective through June 30, 2030.

The Agreement provides a prescribed formula to determine annual rate adjustments, which become effective July 1st of each year. The formula includes the cost of disposal and processing ("Tipping Fee") at the Monterey Regional Waste Management District facility in Marina and allows adjustments to labor and operating costs and other regulatory fees based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Both residential and commercial rates are subject to annual rate adjustments.

Discussion: Residential service rates include collection and disposal of residential garbage, yard waste, food scraps, and recycling. New residential monthly rates for FY 2026-27 were calculated using a 3.04% CPI increase for service rates and 4.94% increase for Tipping Fees. The sum of the service and disposal rate components are used to calculate the new rates for each garbage service category. The average residential rate increase among all garbage service categories is 3.28% (Table 1).

Commercial customers are separately billed for garbage, organics, and recycling. New commercial monthly service rates were calculated using a 3.04% CPI increase for service rates and a 4.94% increase for Tipping Fees on Solid Waste disposal service, a 5.80% increase on Food Waste service, and a

10.20% increase on Yard Waste service.

Selected rates are included in Table 1 below, and the proposed resolution (Attachment 1) contains the full rate schedule effective July 1, 2026.

Dear Ms. Kahn:

We have calculated the new rates for Waste Collection as specified in the AMENDED AND

RESTATED GARBAGE, RECYCLING, ORGANICS, FOOD WASTE, YARD WASTE AND

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS SERVICES FRANCHISE AGREEMENT effective October 14, 2021, SECTION 7.1.C. Enclosed is the calculation of the CPI adjustment, a copy of the indexes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, and new rate schedules effective July 1, 2026.

The calculated increase is 3.04% based on the underlying CPI Index. Please note data for October 2025 is not available due to the government shutdown, however BLS recommend that the missing data be approximated by taking the geometric mean of the index values.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 28, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to join the Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG).

Background: Climate change is a priority issue for organizations across the Monterey Bay Area region, encompassing Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties. A focused and organized approach to accessing State and federal sustainability and resilience funding and resources is required to bring the region together to collectively and equitably achieve climate targets and resilience outcomes. Access to large-scale transformative grant opportunities has the potential to accelerate the implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects and programs across the three-county region. To this end, the Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG) was formed in 2022 to collaborate and access transformative funding opportunities to achieve the region’s climate and resilience goals. The RCPWG has led the development of projects and grant applications and has been successfully awarded over $33 million since 2022. The City of Capitola is a founding member of the RCPWG and the City’s Environmental Projects Manager serves on the RCPWG Strategy Team.

The mission of the RCPWG is to collaborate among groups and organizations in the Monterey Bay Area region, including organizations within Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey Counties, to develop, prioritize, secure funding for, and effectively and equitably advocate for and implement regionally beneficial climate mitigation and adaptation projects and programs. The RCPWG is currently composed of staff from Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties, as well as staff from the Cities of Capitola, Salinas, Santa Cruz, and Watsonville, and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). Each member agency provides annual contributions to support the activities of the RCPWG, particularly to hire grant writing consultants to develop regional and multi-jurisdictional grant applications.

The cities of Marina and Monterey have recently adopted resolutions to join the RCPWG as formal duespaying members, and the cities of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Hollister, and Seaside, among other jurisdictions, continue to participate in the RCPWG as observers.

The RCPWG adopted an interim charter in February 2023 to establish its initial governance structure and allow the group to pursue funding for the region while continuing to build its membership and relationships with social and environmental justice community-based organizations (CBOs).

RCPWG Activities: The RCPWG recognizes the importance of pursuing large regional grants for decarbonization and climate resilience by working collaboratively as a region, both to overcome individual capacity constraints and compete with larger, better-resourced metropolitan regions. Members of the RCPWG benefit from learning about grant opportunities, jointly developing competitive grant proposals, and accessing an established network of consulting and CBO partners that can lead and contribute to the development of grants and implementation of projects that address climate change in the region.

One or more representatives from each member agency participate in the RCPWG’s Strategy Team meetings to discuss RCPWG administration and upcoming grant opportunities. Additionally, the RCPWG Chair and Vice Chair meet with the Managing Consultant, as needed, to discuss consultant contract 139
Item 6 F.
obligations, agendas for upcoming meetings, the status of secured grant-funded projects, and strategies to pursue new grant funding opportunities. The primary activities of RCPWG members include:
● Share knowledge of grant opportunities and project updates across jurisdictions, ● Scope projects and design roles in grant applications and other funding proposals, ● Participate in grant-funded roles and projects,
● Evaluate grant application preparation and project execution process, ● Attend one call every six weeks, or as needed, to discuss RCPWG operations and grant opportunities,
● Hire and manage consultants,
● Collectively decide which grants to pursue and how to pursue them, and ● Support ongoing discussions of governance for RCPWG and equity considerations.

As described in the charter, the RCPWG uses consent-based decision-making with respect to:
● The RCPWG’s annual budget and work plan, funded by member contributions, ● What grants the RCPWG pursues,
● Which advisors to invite to participate in discussions (including regional agencies, nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations, or tribal organizations/governments), ● Subcommittee formation, and
● Membership and leadership.

Since 2022, the RCPWG has successfully secured over $33 million in grant funding for regional climate resilience, electrification, adaptation, and workforce development initiatives. Awards include funding from the California Air Resources Board, U.S. Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, NOAA, and other state and regional partners to support municipal fleet electrification, EV charging infrastructure, climate adaptation planning, residential decarbonization, and implementation funding strategies across the Monterey Bay region.

Discussion: The RCPWG secured a grant from the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovations’ Regional Resilience Grant Program in 2024, which includes formalizing the governance of the RCPWG by creating a new joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and updating the interim charter. The MOU and revised charter (Attachment 1) aim to establish necessary administrative and governance structures to promote a cooperative regional partnership for ensuring successful and sustainable execution of RCPWG activities.

The MOU defines and formalizes the RCPWG’s membership and dues structure, annual contribution levels for current members, and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments’ role as RCPWG’s Fiscal Sponsor, as well as payment terms, amendment processes, and compliance with relevant California state laws. The revised charter defines and formalizes the RCPWG’s membership categories, leadership structure, decision-making processes, annual budget and work plan development process, subcommittees, and meetings.

Public Works staff will continue to represent the City on the RCPWG Strategy Team and coordinate with the Commission on the Environment regarding regional climate initiatives and grant opportunities.

Fiscal Impact: The City of Capitola budgets $5,000 annually from Green Building Funds to support participation in the RCPWG. Under the proposed MOU, annual dues for the City of Capitola are $5,000 for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28. These pooled member contributions support regional grant development, administration, and collaborative climate resilience initiatives. 140

THE MONTEREY BAY AREA REGIONAL CLIMATE PROJECT WORKING
GROUP (RCPWG) MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (“MOU”)

1. RCPWG Members and Purpose of MOU
The Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG) Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is an agreement by and between the participating public agencies listed below:

CITY OF CAPITOLA

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

CITY OF MARINA

CITY OF MONTEREY

CITY OF SALINAS

CITY OF SANTA CRUZ

CITY OF WATSONVILLE

COUNTY OF MONTEREY

COUNTY OF SAN BENITO

THE ASSOCIATION OF MONTEREY BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS
The purpose of this MOU is to define and formalize the working relationship among the parties listed above (individually referred to as “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties”), in the Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG). This MOU defines the shared goals and objectives of the Parties as they collaborate in operating the RCPWG and establishes necessary administrative and governance structures to promote a cooperative relationship for ensuring successful development and implementation of RCPWG activities.

2. Mission
Climate change is a priority issue for organizations across the Monterey Bay Area region. A focused and coordinated approach to pursuing competitive funding and other resources needed is required to unite the region in achieving equitable and resilient outcomes. Access to large-scale, transformative grant opportunities has the potential to accelerate implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects and programs across the tri-county Monterey Bay Area region, including increasing access to funding for individual jurisdictions.

The RCPWG’s mission is to collaborate among organizations in the Monterey Bay Area, including Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties, to develop, prioritize, secure funding for, and effectively and equitably implement regionally beneficial climate mitigation, adaptation, and hazard mitigation projects and programs. The RCPWG works with its members and regional 1 142
Item 6 F.
partners to secure funding for regional grants that individual members may not have the ability to secure on their own; effectively and equitably allocate funding for ambitious climate action and resilience projects; establish more effective collaboration mechanisms to align policies and projects to best address our region’s most pressing climate equity challenges; and activate working groups to support deeper coordination amongst RCPWG members and non-member agencies, foundations, nonprofits, academia, and other partners to advance specific project priorities.

3. Background
The RCPWG emerged as a concept in 2021-2022 when a group of local government and nonprofit representatives across the Monterey Bay Area, encompassing Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties, began meeting informally on a monthly basis. Through these meetings, the group recognized an opportunity to pursue large regional grants for decarbonization and climate resilience by working collaboratively as a region, both to overcome individual capacity constraints and compete with larger, better-resourced metropolitan regions.

In February 2022, City of Santa Cruz, City of Watsonville, County of Monterey, County of San Benito, County of Santa Cruz, and Ecology Action, a regional nonprofit organization, each made an initial contribution to fund start-up activities to support regional collaboration on grant applications. The Community Foundation of Santa Cruz served as the RCPWG’s initial fiscal sponsor and in 2023, fiscal sponsorship transitioned to the County of Santa Cruz.

Since 2022, the RCPWG was successfully awarded the following grants to support the development of RCPWG’s governance structure and implement regional climate projects, totaling over $33 million:
● $15,713,981 award from the CA Air Resources Board to pioneer the Monterey Bay Municipal Fleet Electrification and Workforce Accelerator with member jurisdictions. ● $14,346,751 award from the U.S. Department of Transportation to install 6 solar/battery microgrids and 252 public EV chargers in “disadvantaged” and low-income communities and implement workforce training. While RCPWG’s application was awarded, disbursement has been paused due to federal administration changes. ● $2 million award from the Department of Energy (DOE) for residential decarbonization, electrification, and weatherization improvements.
● $649,335 award from the CA Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) to develop the Monterey Bay Area Climate Adaptation and Resilience Implementation and Funding Roadmap.
● $250,000 award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to secure funding to implement priority projects identified in the Monterey Bay Area Climate Adaptation and Resilience Implementation and Funding Roadmap. 2 143
Item 6 F.
● $100,000 award from Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) to develop RCPWG’s interim charter and an initial grant strategy and to support grant writing for electrification-focused funding proposals.
● $15,000 award from the Urban Sustainability Directors’ Network (USDN) to explore governance options and develop strategies for engaging community-based organizations.

EXHIBIT A
Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group Charter and By-laws (“RCPWG Charter and By-laws”)

1. The Challenge and Opportunity
Climate change is a priority issue for organizations across the Monterey Bay Area region. A focused and coordinated approach to pursuing competitive funding and other resources needed is required to unite the region in achieving equitable and resilient outcomes. Access to large-scale, transformative grant opportunities has the potential to accelerate implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects and programs across the three-county region, including increasing access to funding for individual jurisdictions.

2. Mission
The Monterey Bay Area Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG) collaboratively develops, prioritizes, secures funding for, and effectively and equitably implements regionally beneficial climate mitigation, adaptation, resilience, and hazard mitigation projects and programs. The RCPWG collaborates among groups and organizations in the Monterey Bay Area region, which includes Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties.

3. Membership
Members of the RCPWG benefit from being part of and collaborating with an established network of partners across the Monterey Bay Area to lead to the development and implementation of projects that address shared climate mitigation and adaptation priorities.

RCPWG members benefit from defining and prioritizing regionally beneficial projects, learning about grant opportunities, accessing consultant support to develop joint grant applications, and collaborating on funded projects. RCPWG members have the opportunity to collaborate on grant applications to secure funding for priority projects and new staff positions.

RCPWG membership includes dues-paying local agencies, regional agencies, and higher education institutions.

Local Agency Members (voting members): Dues-paying cities and counties within the Monterey Bay Area, which includes Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties are voting members of the RCPWG.

Regional Agency Members (voting members): Dues-paying regional agencies working across the entirety of the Monterey Bay Area are voting members of the RCPWG. Regional agencies 10151
Item 6 F.
may coordinate with the Chair and Vice Chair, and with consent of voting members, to define RCPWG aligned priorities and specific outcomes that their annual contribution will support.

Higher Education Members (voting members): Dues-paying higher education institutions based within the Monterey Bay Area are voting members of the RCPWG.

Advisory Members: Regional agencies, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, or tribal organizations/governments may serve as non-voting advisors and attend RCPWG Strategy Team meetings upon consent of voting members.

Observers: Potential members may request to send up to two representatives to participate in RCPWG meetings as non-voting observers. Local agencies, regional agencies, and higher education institutions may participate as non-voting observers without prior approval required.

Members are expected to provide member agency staff rates on an annual basis to the Fiscal Sponsor and the Managing Consultant to support RCPWG grant writing efforts.

4. Leadership & Decision Making
The RCPWG is led by a Chair, Vice Chair, and Strategy Team and is supported by a Fiscal Sponsor and Managing Consultant (as defined below). All RCPWG decision-making and spending matters will be subject to any policies governing the Fiscal Sponsor. The RCPWG prioritizes consensus-based decision-making, whereby members deliberate with the aim of reaching an outcome that is supported by all voting members. When consensus cannot be reached, decisions will be made by consent, meaning the absence of objections, which supports accelerated decision making. Consensus requires all members to agree with the decision, while consent allows for disagreement as long as no one objects to the decision. If neither consensus nor consent is attainable, decisions will be made by a two-thirds majority vote.

Chair and Vice Chair: The RCPWG is led by a Chair and Vice Chair, designated by a two-thirds majority vote of the voting members of the RCPWG, each serving a one-year term and with no term limits. Any representative of a voting member organization is eligible to serve as Chair or Vice Chair.

The Chair and Vice Chair provide overall leadership and strategic guidance, including setting Strategy Team meeting agendas, chairing Strategy Team meetings, and facilitating an annual work planning process for the Managing Consultant. The Chair and Vice Chair, along with the Fiscal Sponsor, hold signature authority on behalf of the RCPWG, approves RCPWG-related invoices, and serve as the final decision-makers on RCPWG matters not addressed in the Charter and By-laws. The Chair and Vice Chair may delegate responsibilities to the Managing Consultant, subject to available resources in the RCPWG’s annual budget and work plan, except in instances where such delegation would create a conflict of interest for the Managing Consultant.
11 152
Item 6 F.

Strategy Team: The RCPWG Strategy Team includes one or more representative(s) from each member organization, including local agency members, regional agency members, higher education members, and advisory members. Decisions are made by voting members of the Strategy Team (dues-paying local agency members, regional agency members, and higher education members) with input from advisory members and observers. Each member organization is provided with one vote. If multiple representatives from any single member organization are present when a vote is called, a primary representative must be identified to cast the member agency’s vote.

The Strategy Team provides strategic direction and collective governance to the RCPWG and RCPWG-sponsored projects with voting members serving as the RCPWG’s primary decision-making body. The Strategy Team makes decisions with respect to which grants the RCPWG pursues, projects the RCPWG develops, subcommittee formation, and the future membership, leadership, and dues structure of the RCPWG as it evolves, including the formation of an ad-hoc steering or executive committee. The Strategy Team also provides strategic oversight on RCPWG projects and approves the annual work plan for the RCPWG’s Managing Consultant, including stipends.

Fiscal Sponsor: The Fiscal Sponsor shall be designated by a two-thirds majority vote of the voting members of the RCPWG.

The Fiscal Sponsor serves as the overall funds holder and financial administrator for the RCPWG. The Fiscal Sponsor is responsible for receiving, managing, and disbursing RCPWG funds, including membership dues, grant awards to the RCPWG as the prime recipient or co-applicant, and other revenue secured by the RCPWG; administering contracts with consultants and contractors to support the RCPWG’s approved work plan; maintaining financial records; and providing regular financial reports to the Chair, Vice Chair, and Strategy Team. The Fiscal Sponsor, along with the Chair and Vice Chair, holds signature authority on behalf of the RCPWG, approves RCPWG-related invoices, and serves as the final decision-makers on RCPWG matters not addressed in the Charter and By-laws.

The Fiscal Sponsor’s responsibilities are limited to the activities expressly authorized by the RCPWG through approved budgets, work plans, and contracts. The Fiscal Sponsor shall not be liable for misuse of funds by subrecipients or contractors, except to the extent caused by the Fiscal Sponsor’s sole negligence or willful misconduct, and provided it exercises reasonable oversight consistent with applicable laws, grant requirements, and contractual obligations.

Managing Consultant: The RCPWG can be supported by a third-party Managing Consultant contracted by the Fiscal Sponsor to implement the RCPWG’s work plan. All costs for the Managing Consultant shall be paid by the Fiscal Sponsor.

The Managing Consultant supports overall RCPWG administration and operations, under the direction of the Chair, Vice Chair, and Strategy Team, including supporting Strategy Team 12153
Item 6 F.
meetings, outreach and engagement, subcommittees, project and proposal development, grant writing, and funding opportunity coordination. The Managing Consultant’s annual RCPWG work plan describes specific activities to be completed.

5. Budget and Work Plan
The RCPWG follows a two-year budget forecast cycle, with the annual base budget determined by the current level of local and regional agency member contributions to the RCPWG. Variable dues from new members provide the RCPWG with flexibility to undertake additional activities as part of the approved work plan or new activities approved by voting members.

The two-year budget forecast is supported by annual budgets and work plans, which are developed by the Managing Consultant in collaboration with the Chair and Vice Chair and are approved by voting members.

6. Subcommittees
Subcommittees of the RCPWG will be established to support the mission of the RCPWG with respect to specific focus areas (e.g. building electrification, transportation, waste, etc.).

Subcommittees will have the primary focus of identifying, developing, and if awarded, implementing grants. Each subcommittee must have a minimum of three participating RCPWG members, and one member who is willing to serve as a Subcommittee Liaison.

The Subcommittee Liaison is responsible for creating agendas, facilitating subcommittee meetings, advancing the subcommittee toward its agreed upon purpose, and reporting back to the RCPWG (verbally or in writing) on the progress and decisions of the subcommittee. The RCPWG can initiate or sunset a subcommittee through standard voting procedures.

Subcommittee Liaisons may delegate responsibilities to the Managing Consultant pending available resources in the RCPWG’s annual budget and work plan.

7. Meetings
Members of the RCPWG are expected to attend and actively participate in regular RCPWG meetings, including mandatory attendance at up to two in-person meetings per year.

The RCPWG Strategy Team will meet virtually every six weeks for up to two hours. Additional virtual meetings may be held, as needed, to conduct RCPWG business. Two in-person meetings or retreats will be held each year, instead of or in addition to Strategy Team meetings, with meeting locations rotating between the three counties. Subcommittee meeting frequency will be determined by Subcommittee Liaisons based on input from subcommittee members.

A quorum, defined as three-fifths (3/5) of voting members, is required for any vote; quorum is not required for general discussion or meeting participation. 13154
Item 6 F.

8. Amendments
This Charter and By-laws may be amended by a unanimous vote of voting members.

9. Acknowledgement
By executing the RCPWG MOU, each Party (voting member) acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Exhibit (RCPWG Charter and By-laws) and to participate in the RCPWG in accordance with its terms.

Subject: Transition to Districts – First Public Hearing Recommended Action: 1) Adopt a resolution updating the timeline for the City’s transition to by-district elections pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010 and rescinding Resolution No. 4482; 2) Conduct a duly noticed time-certain public hearing at 6:15 PM and receive public input regarding the composition of the potential Council election districts; 3) provide direction on Council’s preference for five Council districts with a rotating Mayor, or for four Council districts with a Citywide-elected Mayor; and 4) if a Citywide-elected Mayor is preferred, provide guidance on whether the Mayoral term should be two years or four years.

Background: The City Council was elected under an at-large election system, whereby Council Members are elected by voters of the entire City. On April 30, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4482 declaring the City’s intent to initiate procedures to transition from at-large elections to district-based elections pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010, and approving the tentative timeline and other related actions. Under the Elections Code, the City has 90 days from the adoption of that resolution to complete the process.

Since April 30, 2026, the City has received a 30-day extension to complete the districting process and staff recommends updating the adopted timeline to reflect new extended timeline and associated meeting dates.

Timeline for District Development: The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) requires the City to hold at least two public hearings over the next thirty (30) days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts. Those dates are established as May 28th and June 11th, and the public hearings will begin at 6:15 PM. No official maps can be drawn before the completion of these two (2) public meetings. Once the initial two meetings are complete, a demographer and the public can begin to draw maps that will be considered in the districting process.

The City will hold at least two additional public hearings over the following forty-five (45) days to receive input on the draft maps and the proposed election sequencing. With the updated schedule, staff recommends setting the hearings for June 25 (unchanged from the previous schedule) and July 23, both with a fixed 6:15 PM hearing start time. If a map is selected and is unchanged from what is presented at the 4th public hearing, then a first reading/introduction of an ordinance transitioning to districts and adopting that same map may be conducted at the 4th public hearing.

Thereafter, if the selected map continues to be unchanged, then a second reading/adoption of the ordinance may be conducted at a 5th public hearing. That date is proposed as August 28th. Anytime a map is changed, a seven (7) day notice must be published and made available, as applicable, and a subsequent public hearing would have to be held before the map can be considered for adoption. As such, depending on the number and timing of the changes, the tentative timeline (e.g., the number of public hearings) included in Attachment 1 may change.

The City will also need to comply with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions Act (Fair Maps Act), which provides criteria the City must use when establishing election district boundaries or when undertaking the redistricting process (which must occur every ten years after each population census). These criteria include compliance with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, CVRA, and the federal Voting Rights Act. The Fair Maps Act also prohibits the 156
Item 7 A.
adoption of district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent councilmember, political candidate, or political party.

Staff has prepared an updated timeline that identifies the preliminary schedule for the required public hearings and public outreach and complies with Elections Code 10010 (see Exhibit A to Attachment 1).

This tentative timeline may change depending on the level of community involvement and the complexity of the map drawing process, provided that the extended 120-day deadline is met.

Discussion: In addition to the required public hearings outlined above, the City already provided an informational item on the May 14th City Council agenda to discuss the transition to districts, during which the demographer (NDC) and staff provided a presentation, answered questions, and received feedback from the public.

In addition, staff plans to host a second community engagement webinar on Saturday, June 20 at 11 AM.

This webinar will be advertised in advance so that members of the public ask questions to be answered by the City’s demographer and staff. Staff plans to host this outreach opportunity in a web-based format to allow for maximum participation from the community who may not be able to attend the mid-week inperson evening City Council meetings already scheduled.

Today’s hearing partially fulfills the requirement of California Elections Code Section 10010 that states:
“(1) Before drawing a draft map or maps of the proposed boundaries of the districts, the political subdivision shall hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than thirty days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts.

The intention of this hearing is to identify the neighborhoods, other “communities of interest,” and other local factors that should be considered or used as ‘building blocks’ when the drawing of draft maps begins. The public is welcome to propose complete districting maps, but it is not required.

This hearing will also review the City’s public mapping tool and interactive map review website, provided by the districting consultant.

Four vs. Five Districts: California Government Code Section 34886 enables cities to change to by-district elections by ordinance:
“Notwithstanding Section 34871 or any other law, the legislative body of a city may adopt an ordinance that requires the members of the legislative body to be elected by district or by district with an elective mayor, as described in subdivisions (a) and (c) of Section 34871, without being required to submit the ordinance to the voters for approval. An ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall comply with the requirements and criteria of Section 21130 of the Elections Code and include a declaration that the change in the method of electing members of the legislative body is being made in furtherance of the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 14025) of Division 14 of the Elections Code).” As noted, part of this process is the decision to change to four districts with an elective mayor, or to five districts with a Council-selected rotating mayor. In NDC’s experience, the process goes smoother the earlier this decision is made, as residents then focus on how to draw and select the best four- or fivedistrict map, rather than on whether to have four or five districts.

The resulting recommendation is for the Council to give (non-binding) direction on whether to develop four-district or five-district scenarios at the end of this public hearing.

If the Council is not yet ready to provide that direction, the decision can wait until the conclusion of the second public hearing.

The Council can reverse this decision at any time prior to second reading or the districting ordinance, however changing this decision may require scheduling additional hearings prior to final adoption, which may affect the City’s ability to complete the process in a timely manner.

Public Outreach: The transition to districts requires significant public outreach, and staff has already initiated efforts to make sure that the public is informed throughout the process. 157
Item 7 A.
 Staff created a dedicated webpage for district elections. The website is updated with information, documents (like staff reports/presentations from Council meetings), and a section with meeting video footage and a brief summary of action taken: https://www.cityofcapitola.gov/1001/DistrictBased-Elections o A subpage is available for access to the public mapping tool provided by NDC, including access to the printable PDF map for public use.
o A subpage is available for access to map submissions received from the public. o The City’s entire website is translatable into multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for non-English speaking residents.
o Based on feedback at the May 14 meeting, staff updated the webpage to better clarify meeting dates and start times.
 Staff developed two frequently asked questions (FAQ) documents: one for general district questions, and one specifically tailored to the discussion about number of districts and the differences between an at-large mayor and rotating mayor. o Staff created a dedicated email address where members of the public can submit questions, comments, or send maps: [email protected] o Staff created a web form where members of the public can submit questions about the transition to districts. A link to the web form is available on the City’s webpage, linked above.
o The questions will be regularly summarized and answered in an updated FAQ document, uploaded to the webpage periodically.
 Staff sent out the first of two mailers to all residences in Capitola. The mailers will include information about upcoming meeting dates and how to participate in both English and Spanish.

The second mailer will be sent out to align with the publication of the first round of maps and will include available meeting dates for public input.

Fiscal Impact: The City has already amended the FY 2025-26 Budget to allocate funds for the transition to districts. There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Additional costs will be incurred for legal fees and plaintiff costs. Those will be presented to Council at a future meeting, once determined.

OTHER RELATED ACTIONS
WHEREAS, members of the Capitola City Council are currently elected in “at-large” elections, in which each City Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 34886, in certain circumstances, authorizes the legislative body of a city of any population to adopt an ordinance to change its method of election from an “at-large” system to a “district-based” system in which each councilmember is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides; and WHEREAS, on March 19, 2026, the City of Capitola (“City”) received a demand letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”) and threatening litigation if the City declines to voluntarily transition to a districtbased system for electing Councilmembers; and WHEREAS, the letter was not accompanied by any evidence to support the claim of a CVRA violation, and the Council denies that its election system violates the CVRA or any other provision of law, asserts that the City’s election system is legal in all respects, and further denies any wrongdoing whatsoever in connection with the manner in which City Council elections have been conducted; and
WHEREAS, the City is committed to diversity and inclusion with respect to its elections and the Council has determined that the public interest is better served by initiating a process for transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoiding the high costs associated with defending a lawsuit under the CVRA; and WHEREAS, Elections Code Section 10010 provides a method whereby a jurisdiction can expeditiously transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoid the high cost of litigation under the CVRA if the jurisdiction complies with the “safe harbor” provisions of Elections Code Section 10010; and
WHEREAS, California Elections Code Section 10010 will delay CVRA litigation and cap attorneys’ fees associated with a CVRA claim at $30,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010), if, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a claim under the CVRA, the City adopts a resolution stating its intent to transition to district based elections, and within ninety (90) days thereafter, the City adopts an ordinance transitioning to a districtbased election system consistent with the intent and purpose of the CVRA; and WHEREAS, during a special meeting held on April 30, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4482 declaring the City of Capitola’s intent to initiate procedures to transition 159

Item 7 A.
2 Election Systems

1. “At Large”

2. “From District” or “Residence” Districts

3. “By District”
The California Voting Rights Act
(CVRA) was written to specifically
encourage by-district elections.

Item 7 A.
4 California Voting Rights Act (CVRA)
 Under the Federal Voting Rights Act (passed in 1965), a jurisdiction must fail 4 factual tests before it is in violation of the law.
 The California VRA makes it significantly easier for plaintiffs to force jurisdictions into “by-district” election systems by eliminating two of the US Supreme Court Gingles tests:
 Can the protected class constitute the majority of a district?  Does the protected class vote as a bloc?
 Do the voters who are not in the protected class vote in a bloc to defeat the preferred candidates of the protected class?
 Do the “totality of circumstances” indicate race is a factor in elections?  Liability is now determined only by the presence of racially polarized voting and dilution of the protected class’s voting strength
 Unclear impact of U.S. Supreme Court’s Louisiana v Callais (2026) decision.

5 CVRA Impact
 Key settlements:
 Palmdale: $4.7 million
 Santa Clara: $3.8 million
 Modesto: $3 million
 Highland: $1.3 million
 Anaheim: $1.1 million
 Whittier: $750,000
 Santa Barbara: $600,000
 Tulare Hospital: $500,000

 Compton Unified: $200,000
 Madera Unified: about $170,000
 Hanford Joint Union Schools:
$118,000
 Merced City: $42,000
 An estimated $20 million in total
settlements and court awards so far.
 Switched (or in the process of switching) as a result of CVRA:
 At least 345 school districts
 46 Community College Districts
 212 cities
 1 County Board of Supervisors
 78 water and other special districts.
 Palmdale, Santa Clara and Santa Monica fought “on
the merits.”
 Palmdale spent about $1.8 million, Santa Clara $1.37
million, and Santa Monica over $12 million, just on
their defense.
 Santa Monica plaintiffs requested $22 million in fees.  So far, no jurisdiction has won a case.
 Huntington Beach: awaiting trial court ruling.
 Santa Monica: back in Superior Court in October.

Item 7 A.
20 Four or Five Districts?
Current System:
 Voters currently vote for five Councilmembers
 Each year, the five Councilmembers decide on a Mayor for the next year  Commonly referred to as a “rotating Mayor”
“Citywide Elected Mayor” Alternative:
 The Mayor post would appear on the ballot as a separate office  Voters would elect their district’s Councilmember every four years and a Mayor every 2 or every 4 years
 No major change in Mayor’s powers: the city remains a Council – Manager form of government
Options:

Option 1: keep the current “rotating Mayor” system and draw 5 Council Districts Option 2: change to an “Elected Mayor” system and draw 4 Council Districts March 14, 2026

21 Council Dynamics
March 14, 2026
Five Districts
• Can encourage respect and
cooperation among Councilmembers
• Future turn as Mayor encourages
cooperation when out of office
• Leadership perspective is not limited
to single person for four years
• Leadership perspective is not limited
to a single person for four years
• Can avoid strain over roles between
Mayor and City Manager
Four Districts + Mayor
• Provides a more consistent and
prominent ceremonial leader
• Provides leadership continuity for
staff
• Stronger representation in
regional agencies
• More opportunity for local to
win County or State Legislative
office
• Citywide Mayor has a larger
“base” of voters

23 Impact on Voters and Councilmembers
March 14, 2026
Five Districts
• Provides opportunities to expand the
knowledge and experience of
city council members beyond just
their district
• Less important in small cities
• Eliminates there being more than
one representative from a single
district
• The mayor and a Council member
Four Districts + Mayor
• Allows all voters to vote in a city
election every two years
• Elective Mayor provides
constituents with two
representatives who must earn their
vote
• The mayor and a Council member
• It only takes one more vote to get
a majority of the Council to
support a proposal
.

Item 7 A.
24 Mayor’s Term
If a Citywide-elected Mayor is chosen, the city must decide if the term will be 2 or 4 years:

March 14, 2026
Four-Year Term
• Gives an advantage to Council
members whose terms do not
match the Mayor’s (they can run
for Mayor without giving up their
seat)
• Provides stability in leadership
• Less burdensome on a mayor
who is otherwise employed
• Reduces cost to administer
elections in non-Mayoral years
Two-Year Term
• Fairness provides all Council
members the opportunity to run
for Mayor without giving up their
Council seat
• Increases direct accountability to
the voters

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: May 28, 2026
From: Community and Economic Development Department
Subject: 41st Avenue, Clares Street, and Capitola Road Corridor Plan Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution adopting the 41st Avenue, Clares Street, and Capitola Road Corridor Plan and direct staff to publish a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an AB 1600 Nexus Study to establish a corridor impact fee.

Background: On March 27, 2025, the City Council authorized a professional services agreement with SWA Group to prepare the 41st Avenue Corridor Plan. The purpose of the Corridor Plan is to establish a long-term vision for 41st Avenue as a more vibrant, multimodal corridor that supports economic vitality, improved mobility, enhanced public spaces, and housing development.

Initial work completed by the consultant team included background analysis, existing conditions review, transportation and land use assessment, and extensive community outreach. Outreach efforts included an online community survey with 197 respondents; a public workshop on October 8, 2025, attended by approximately 50 to 60 participants; stakeholder meetings with local agencies, business owners, and property owners; and additional outreach to nearby residents.

Based on public input and technical analysis, draft corridor goals were presented to the City Council on November 13, 2025. The goals focused on:

1. Multi-modal streets

2. Safe and healthy streets

3. Memorable and quality public realm

4. Public realm activation and economic vitality

5. Design for future development
On December 11, 2025, the City Council directed staff to expand the Corridor Plan boundary to include portions of Clares Street surrounding the Capitola Mall area and Capitola Road from the western city boundary to approximately 43rd Avenue. The expanded study area recognizes the importance of coordinated planning surrounding the City’s largest anticipated redevelopment area within the Capitola Mall block and the regional commercial district along 41st Avenue.

Following the expanded scope, SWA Group had additional traffic analysis collected and ran transportation modeling for Clares Street and Capitola Road. SWA also created corridor branding concepts. Additional outreach included a second public survey, stakeholder meetings, and a virtual community meeting to receive feedback on the expanded scope and branding ideas.

The Planning Commission reviewed the draft Corridor Plan on May 7, 2026, and provided comments and recommendations for refinement prior to City Council consideration, including clarification of roadway transitions along Clares Street, additional emphasis on bicycle wayfinding, buffered bicycle facilities, and alternative bicycle routes, updates to corridor branding concepts, and revisions to maintain minimum 10- foot vehicle lane widths throughout the corridor.

Discussion: The 41st Avenue, Clares Street, and Capitola Road Corridor Plan establishes a long-term framework for transforming the City’s primary commercial corridors into safer, more attractive, and more 206
Item 7 B.
economically vibrant multimodal streets. The Plan is intended to guide future public and private improvements related to redevelopment, capital improvement projects, and transportation investments.

The Corridor Plan envisions improvements that enhance pedestrian safety, bicycle connectivity, traffic operations, public spaces, landscaping, wayfinding, and corridor identity. The Plan also supports implementation of recently adopted zoning regulations that encourage mixed-use and higher-density residential redevelopment in the Capitola Mall area.

The Corridor Plan identifies conceptual roadway cross-sections and improvement strategies for the three major streets. The concepts are intended to serve as planning-level guidance and will require future engineering and environmental review before implementation.

For 41st Avenue and Capitola Road, the recommended improvements assume future redevelopment of the Capitola Mall and the incorporation of the recently adopted 20-foot minimum pedestrian realm on private property, including widened sidewalks, landscaping, and enhanced pedestrian amenities along the periphery streets.

Clares Street presents unique constraints due to the limited right-of-way and fragmented property ownership pattern. Currently, there is no room for a protected bike lane within Clares Street; therefore, “sharrows” exist in the far right lanes so bicycles share the road with automobiles.

Redevelopment along the mall side of Clares is subject to the 20’-0” minimum pedestrian realm; however full build-out presents unique challenges as only one property along Clares is owned by the majority mall owner, Merlone Geier Partners (MGP). The five separately-owned parcels along Clares Street are: MGP target/food court entry parking area, Macy’s, Olive Garden, Ross Center, and Citibank. There is a low likelihood of all properties along Clares redeveloping at the same time and installing the 20’-0” pedestrian realm. Therefore, the Plan includes both a near-term and long-term buildout strategy. 207
Item 7 B.

The near-term concept for Clares Street demonstrates how protected bicycle facilities could potentially be implemented within the existing roadway footprint through lane reconfiguration while maintaining existing sidewalks. The near-term plan includes modifications in the center segment of Clares Street between the Dialysis Center and the mall food court entry, going from two lanes to one to incorporate a protected bicycle lane. The sections of Clares Street by Capitola Road and 41st Avenue maintain multiple travel lanes in each direction to allow for queuing at the intersections.

The long-term concept assumes implementation would be timed with future redevelopment of adjacent properties. Under the adopted zoning code new projects would be required to develop a 20 foot minimum pedestrian realm on private property to accommodate enhanced sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and landscaping. In the long-term concept, the full right-of-way with multiple travel lanes in each direction would be reestablished.

The Planning Commission discussion focused heavily on bicycle safety, roadway transitions, lane widths, placemaking, landscaping themes, and multimodal circulation. In response to Planning Commission feedback, staff has included the following updates to the Corridor Plan:
 Revised roadway sections to maintain minimum 10-foot travel lane widths throughout the corridor;  Clarified lane transition locations and roadway configurations along Clares Street;  Added additional emphasis on bicycle wayfinding strategies intended to redirect cyclists toward lower-stress bicycle routes;
 Expanded discussion of buffered bicycle lanes and physical delineation treatments; and  Refined district branding concepts and landscape transition areas emphasizing the “Mountains + Bluffs” identity in the North, East, and Western portion of the Corridor along Capitola Road, Clares Street, and 41st Avenue north of Capitola Road, transitioning to coastal-oriented landscaping south of Capitola Road to the southern City limit heading into Pleasure Point.

The Corridor Plan also includes a District Placemaking chapter intended to strengthen corridor identity and improve the public realm through gateway signage, landscaping, public art, wayfinding, furnishings, and streetscape enhancements.

Implementation of the Corridor Plan will occur incrementally over many years through redevelopment projects, capital improvement projects, grant funding opportunities, and public-private partnerships.

To support implementation of future infrastructure improvements identified in the Corridor Plan, staff is recommending the City Council authorize preparation of an AB 1600 Nexus Study for a corridor impact fee program. The Nexus Study would evaluate the relationship between future development impacts and infrastructure improvements needed within the corridor area and would establish a legally supportable funding mechanism to help finance future transportation and public realm improvements.

Fiscal Impact: Preparation of the Corridor Plan is funded through previously authorized consultant agreements and existing budget appropriations.

Future implementation of corridor improvements identified in the Plan will require significant additional funding and will likely occur incrementally over many years through a combination of development contributions, grants, capital improvement funding, and public-private partnerships. Appendix A.4 of the plan includes estimated costs.

Staff is requesting authorization to publish a Request for Proposals for the preparation of an AB 1600 Nexus Study to evaluate the establishment of a corridor impact fee program. The proposed FY 2026-27 Budget does not include funding for the Nexus Study as costs are not currently known. Staff will return to City Council with a potential scope of work and options for funding the study following completion of the RFP process.

CITY OF CAPITOLA Corridor Plan: 41st Avenue, Clares Street, Capitola Road 215 Item 7 B.

1.1 VISION
The Corridor Plan for 41st Avenue, Clares
Street, and Capitola Road envisions a safe,
inclusive, and vibrant street network that
reflects Capitola’s identity, supports all
travel modes, and fosters local business and
community.

This Plan provides guidance for future
improvements to Clares Street, 41st Avenue,
and Capitola Road. These three corridors
surround the current Capitola Mall site and
serve as important thoroughfares for the City
of Capitola today.

Over time, it is anticipated that the plan area
will experience redevelopment with the Mall
itself as a catalyst site under the new zoning to
allow for higher density residential and mixeduse.

The vision outlined in this Corridor Plan
includes enhancement to the circulation
network to address safety concerns of today,
while expanding to accommodate the future
evolution of the area. The realization of this
vision will involve public-private partnerships
between the City of Capitola and the property
owners along each of these three corridors.

This is a long term vision and will be
implemented incrementally as funding and
partnership opportunities become available.

These concepts are planning-level and subject
to refinement based on site constraints and
operational needs.

1.2 PROJECT PROCESS
The Corridor Plan has been developed
through an iterative process with input
from the broader Capitola community, key
stakeholders within the plan area, and City
of Capitola department staff.

The initial scope of the Corridor Plan was
41st Avenue only, with Clares Street and
Capitola Road added to better capture the
circulation network that influences 41st
Ave.

1.2.1 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Initial steps in the engagement process
included gathering input on the existing
impressions and challenges. The results
of these early listening exercises were
synthesized and finalized into the Corridor
Plan vision and community goals included
in this document.

These guiding principles directly informed
the corridor improvement concepts
presented by the design teams during
subsequent engagement activities where
community members were given the
opportunity to provide further input on
refinement.

Throughout the project, a variety of
different engagement formats and
strategies were utilized to reach a broad
audience and maximize the opportunities
for input. These included the following:
• Community-Wide Survey 1 of 2
(08.14.25-12.02.25)
• In-Person Community Workshop
(10.08.25) This event was combined
with outreach for the Capitola Mall
Objective Design Standards. The focus
was on learning from participants and
community goal definition.
• Online Community Workshop (03.18.26)
This event provided a final opportunity
for the design team to share preferred
improvements for each corridor and
gather input on Clares Street options
placemaking topics.
• Community-Wide Survey 2 of 2
(04.03.26-04.20.26)

1.2.2 STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS
In addition to broader community outreach,
the project team also sought targeted
feedback from key stakeholders within the
study area.

Throughout the project, several virtual
stakeholder meetings were held with the
following groups:
• 41st Avenue Property Owners
• Clares Street and Capitola Road
Property Owners
• Capitola Mall Owner/Developers
• Capitola Mall Objective Design
Standards Consultant Team
• Santa Cruz METRO
• Santa Cruz County Regional
Transportation Commission
• County of Santa Cruz Public Works
The collective feedback received from
these groups was invaluable for testing
assumptions and refining corridor
improvements.

At the conclusion of the planning process,
the Corridor Plan will be presented to a
series of City commissions for final review.
• Art & Culture Commission (03.10.26)
This presentation provided an
opportunity for the commission to
provide feedback on the wayfinding,
public art, and other placemaking
components of the Plan.
• Planning Commission (05.07.26) The
design team facilitated an in-depth
discussion on the recommended
improvements in the Corridor Plan for
final revisions prior to presenting the
plan to City Council.

1.3 COMMUNITY GOALS
The planning process was built on a core
set of goals that were identified based on
preliminary feedback from the community.

These five goals reinforce the stated
vision for the Corridor Plan and will guide
the future implementation of proposed
improvements.

For each goal, a set of specific design
strategies are identified. Within the three
streets—41st Avenue, Clares Street,
Captiola Road—there are zones where
certain strategies may be more viable than
others. Meanwhile, there are other highlevel strategies that should be implemented throughout the entire plan area.

A toolkit of strategies is intended to be
flexible while providing guidance for future
improvements that results in a cohesive
streetscape that may be implemented in
phases.

2.1 PLAN AREA CONTEXT
The analysis of the plan area includes the
broader circulation network around the
Capitola Mall with a focus on the three
primary corridors. 41st Avenue serves as
the primary commercial and transportation
corridor in Capitola, heavily trafficked as
it connects north to south from Highway
1 toward Pleasure Point, it is a regional
destination for shopping and services.

Capitola Road connects east to west,
from Santa Cruz to the historic core of the
Capitola Village while Clares Street wraps
the mall to provide additional access to
retail and between local neighborhoods.

Despite its role as a center of economic
vitality, the plan area is largely auto-centric
and suburban in form with wide streets and
fast traffic speeds. The network formed by
these corridors and the surrounding streets
currently lacks multi-modal infrastructure
and a quality public realm.

2.2 PAST AND CURRENT

PLANNING EFFORTS
This Plan builds upon previous and
ongoing planning efforts by the City and
the County that include traffic safety, active
transportation, and other public-realm
oriented explorations.

The findings of these studies are integrated
into the Plan to inform the proposed
improvements for each of the three
commercial corridors. While the plan area
is limited to the City of Capitola, largely
in the zone around the Capitola Mall,
the broader county context is critical for
understanding how the plan area functions
within larger circulation networks.

Additional recently completed projects
within that have focus on the corridors
specifically are described further within
each respective section of Chapter 3.

2.2.1 COUNTY ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION PLAN (ATP)
Completed in 2022, the County of Santa
Cruz ATP outlines a vision for biking and
walking routes throughout the community.

Informed through public input, the plan
analyzes existing conditions, establishes
goals, and provides recommendations for
infrastructure improvements and programs.

It also includes prioritization and funding.

2.2.2 CITY OF CAPITOLA LOCAL

ROAD SAFETY PLAN (LRSP)
The Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
evaluates traffic safety conditions
throughout Capitola using five years of
collision data and community input. The
purpose of the plan is to better understand
the factors contributing to collisions within
the City and to identify strategies that can
reduce severe and fatal crashes.

Collisions involving pedestrians and
bicyclists represent a significant portion of
severe injury crashes within the City. State
safety ranking data also indicates that
Capitola experiences relatively high rates of
pedestrian and bicycle crashes compared
to jurisdictions of similar size.

To address these trends, the LRSP
identifies both location-specific and
systemwide strategies. The plan highlights
several locations where crash patterns
suggest that additional safety evaluation
may be warranted. These locations are
presented as case studies illustrating
potential approaches the City could
consider when evaluating future safety
improvements.

The plan also recommends a range of
potential safety strategies. These include
infrastructure improvements such as
enhanced pedestrian crossings, traffic
calming treatments, improved visibility at
intersections, and improvements to bicycle
facilities where feasible.

The network screening analysis identified
the high-severity crash locations within
the City of Capitola. Based on the network
screening analysis, the highest number of
crashes occurred at the following locations.
• Signalized Intersections:
• 41st Avenue and Capitola Rd (6
crashes)
• 41st Avenue and Clares St (6
crashes)
• Unsignalized intersections:
• 41st Avenue and Cory St (4 crashes)
• Roadway Segments:
• 41st Avenue from Gross Rd to
Clares St (5 crashes)

2.2.4 CITY OF CAPITOLA OBJECTIVE

DESIGN STANDARDS (ODS) FOR

CAPITOLA MALL REDEVELOPMENT
Zoning Code Chapter 17.57 includes the
Objective Design Standards for Capitola
Mall Redevelopment. The chapter contains
design standards for buildings as well
as the public realm, including the street
frontage and open space.

The Objective Design Standards (ODS)
apply at the time redevelopment, with
specific requirements for 41st Avenue,
Clares Street, and Capitola Road - referred
to as perimeter streets - to incorporate a
landscape buffer, pedestrian clear paths,
and enhanced building frontage areas, as
further described in section 3.1.3.

2.2.5 COUNTY COASTAL RAIL TRAIL
SEGMENTS 10 AND 11 PROJECT
The County of Santa Cruz is leading
the development of a 4.2 mile bicycle/
pedestrian path extending along the Santa
Cruz Branch Line corridor as part of the
larger Coastal Rail Trail. Segments 10 and
11 will extend from 17th Avenue in Live
Oak to State Park Drive in the Seacliff
Neighborhood.

2.2.3 CITY OF CAPITOLA ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The City of Capitola launched the Capitola
Active Transportation Plan on March
12, 2026 to establish a comprehensive
framework to improve walking and
bicycling safety, connectivity,
accessibility, and climate resilience
Citywide. A technical consultant will
provide planning and analytical services
necessary to support key findings and
recommendations related to:
• Inventory and mapping of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities • Safety and collision analysis
• Identification of barriers and connectivity gaps
• Level of Traffic Stress and comfort analysis for pedestrians and bicyclists • Development of a connected active
transportation network
• Preparation of project recommendations and prioritization framework • Development of planning-level cost estimates and implementation guidance The project is expected to complete final
design in 2027 and begin construction
2027-2030. The corridor plan was
developed in coordination with the Coastal
Rail Trail project to ensure a cohesive
design approach where the two efforts
overlap, prioritizing user experience, safety,
and overall corridor functionality.

2.2.6 SC METRO RAPID CORRIDOR

PROJECT
The Santa Cruz METRO is a regional
transportation improvement effort aimed
at making transit more reliable and
accessible. The project focuses on Route 1
and Route 2 corridors between Watsonville
and Santa Cruz, with targeted investments
such as bus stop improvements, roadway
upgrades, and transit priority strategies.

These improvements aim to reduce travel
time on major corridors in the County
by up to 40% and increase multi-modal
safety by evaulating traffic conditions and
priorities, engaging with community needs,
and improving transit infrastructure and
amenities corridor-wide.

3.1 PROPOSED CIRCULATION

NETWORK

3.1.1 OVERALL DISTRICT
This chapter outlines specific design strategies
for each of the three primary corridors within the
plan area. The collective vision is to provide a
comprehensive and connected circulation network
for bikes and enhance the public realm experience
for pedestrians. The proposed improvements are
conceptual and may be implemented incrementally.

The proposed improvements aim to close existing
gaps in the bicycle network and enhance safety
throughout the corridor. While improvements apply
to the full length of each corridor, a key priority is to provide alternative bicycle routes beyond 41st Avenue,
particularly in the northern portion of the plan area.

Currently, Capitola Road and Jade Street/Brommer
Street provide multi-modal east-west connections.

Clares Street east of 41st Avenue is also a complete
street with protected bike lanes and enhanced
crosswalks. Improvements to the west end of Clares
Street will provide improved connectivity on the
west side of 41st Avenue. North-south alternatives to
41st Avenue include 38th, 40th, 42nd, 45th, 47th (the
Avenues) and Wharf Road. However, the Avenues
are fragmented, resulting in a gap in north-south
connectivity between Clares Street and Capitola Road.

In 2026, the City launched a city-wide active
transportation plan (ATP). Improvements to northsouth multimodal connections between Clares Street and Capitola Road should be identified within the ATP.

41st Avenue is primarily an auto-oriented corridor.

While the Corridor Plan proposes bicycle and safety
improvements along its entirety, a key goal of the
proposed circulation network is to provide alternate
bicycle routes and focus active transportation
improvements to the more pedestrian-scaled
southern segments of 41st Avenue.

The proposed bike network is intended to allow
cyclists to bypass the northern segments of 41st
Avenue, where proximity to the highway and higher
traffic volumes make bicycling less comfortable, and
redirect them toward lower-stress routes along the
periphery of 41st Avenue.

The map to the right highlights the preferred
alternate route, rerouting bicycles off of the northern segments of 41st Avenue. The Highway 1 overpass
includes seven drive lanes and three traffic lights
in close proximity, creating challenges for cyclists.

Recommended alternatives to cross Highway 1
include the Capitola Avenue bridge, the Bay Avenue
underpass, or taking Soquel Avenue west to the
pedestrian bridge (Whale Bridge).

The preferred alternate bike route should
be clearly identified through wayfinding
signage placed at key intersections and
along the route.

The proposed bicycle and safety
improvements along 41st Avenue, Clares
Street, and Capitola Road include
design strategies such as painted bike
lanes, painted buffers, bike boxes, and
advanced stop bars. These improvements
are intended to establish a foundation
for additional bicycle infrastructure
where appropriate, including bike lane
delineators in locations where painted
buffers provide sufficient space.

Future redevelopment of the Capitola Mall
block is subject to objective standards included
in the Capitola Zoning Code Section 17.24.035:

Capitola Mall Redevelopment and Chapter

17.57 Objective Design Standards for Capitola
Mall Redevelopment. These sections establish
standards for redevelopment on all parcels
within the Capitola Mall block.

The zoning code identifies 41st Avenue,
Clares Street, and Capitola Road around the
Capitola Mall block as “Perimeter Streets” and
anticipates a future grid of roadways inside
the block referred to as “Internal Streets”. The
image to the right shows the existing Perimeter
Streets as well as a conceptual grid of where

Currently, there are only two midblock
crossings on Clares Street. The corridor plan
introduces two potential midblock crossings,
also included in the conceptual layout.

If a mall redevelopment project abuts one the
Perimeter Streets, the property owner must
install street frontage improvements within a
20’-0” minimum “pedestrian realm.” This zone
measures from the property line and includes
the following:
• Landscape / Street Furniture Zone
• Pedestrian Clear Path
• Building Frontage Zone
The remaining public right-of-way between the
property line and the curb varies in its width
and character depending on the location.

EXTRACTED ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS - FIGURE 17.57-4: PERIMETER STREET PEDESTRIAN REALM Throughout the different segments of the Plan,
the 20’-0” Pedestrian Realm zone is utilized in 2
different ways to aid the corridor improvements.

1. Extended Landscape Zone: The existing curb
is maintained, and the remaining public R.O.W.
is utilized as part of the landscape / street
furniture zone.

2. Extended Right-of-Way: The existing curb
is relocated to the property line to provide
additional width for proposed corridor
improvements.

3. Enhanced Bike Infrastructure: The existing
curb is relocated inward beyond the property
line, creating additional dimension for the
proposed bike lane and related improvements.

The proposed future improvements within the
Corridor Plan reflect the requirements of this
pedestrian realm.

Item 7 B.

3.2 41ST AVENUE
The extent of improvements for 41st Avenue are
from Highway 1 to the north, to the City limit at
Nova Drive to the south.
41st Avenue is a high volume corridor, serving
as an arterial between Capitola Road and
the highway interchange. Further south, 41st
Avenue narrows and slows as it gets closer to
the RTC Coastal Rail Trail, and the residential
neighborhoods toward Pleasure Point.

The primary use for 41st Avenue will continue
to be vehicular with proposed improvements
that continue to accommodate the high traffic
volume. However, safety improvements such
as narrowing lanes, reducing left turns, and
improving the visibility of bike infrastructure can
still have an impact.

The segment of the corridor immediately
adjacent to the Capitola Mall site is considered
in the zoning code as a “Perimeter Street” with
the potential for an expanded pedestrian realm
through future redevelopment.

This anticipated growth also presents an
opportunity for the plan area to become a
new district, with 41st Avenue taking on a
new, distinctive identity. As discussed further
in Chapter 4, wayfinding and public art can
enhance the corridor as a connector between
the north and south gateways. NOVA DR.

NOBLE PLANNING
The extent of improvements for Clares Street
are from 41st Avenue to Capitola Road. This
entire portion of Clares Street wraps the
Capitola Mall site and therefore is considered
a “Perimeter Street.” Across from the mall site,
this stretch of Clares also serves a series of
additional retail centers.

With a continuous center turn lane and two
travel lanes in each direction, the overall road
width encourages higher than desirable travel
speeds. This presents challenges to cyclists as
the bike infrastructure on this portion of Clares
is limited to a “sharrow” in the right lane.

Additionally, the curving geometry of the street
and limited crossing opportunities make Clares
Street challenging for pedestrians as well. The
intersection with 40th Avenue is a particularly
hazardous intersection today.

Proposed improvements transform Clares into
a complete street to better serve the needs of
all users. Leveraging future redevelopment to
expand the pedestrian realm and reallocating
space for dedicated bicycle infrastructure will
improve the overall multi-modal network.

In 2022, the City Public Works Department
completed traffic calming improvements to
Clares Street between 41st Avenue and Wharf
Road, just to the east of the study extents for
this corridor plan.

Improvements included enhanced bicycle
infrastructure such as dedicated and painted
lanes, as well as crossovers and bike boxes at
intersections. Pedestrian improvements such
as elevated crosswalks and speed humps were
also incorporated. These enhancements have
been well received by the community since
implementation and form an important eastwest portion of the broader bicycle network.

Extending Clares Street bicycle improvements
across 41st Avenue will be critical to closing
the gap in this east-west connection. While
extremely space-constrained, the proposed
improvements for Zone 01 in the sections that
follow aim to achieve this.

The existing conditions between 41st Avenue
and 40th Avenue consist of 5 narrow travel
lanes with bicycle sharrows on either side.

This segment experiences heavy traffic, with
vehicles frequently queuing at the signal to
access northbound 41st Avenue toward the
highway. Limited right-of-way constrains
opportunities for roadway improvements.

The existing conditions between 40th Avenue
and Capitola Road consist of two travel lanes
in each direction and bicycle sharrows within
the outer travel lanes. There is no room for bike
lanes within the existing developed roadway.

Redevelopment along the mall side of Clares
is subject to the 20’-0” minimum pedestrian
realm (section 3.1.2); however full build-out
presents unique challenges as the majority of
properties along Clares are not owned by the
majority mall owner, Merlone Geier Partners
(MGP).The five separately-owned parcels along
Clares Street are: Target/MGP food court
entry parking area, Macy’s, Olive Garden, Ross
Center, and Citibank. There is a low likelihood of
all properties along Clares redeveloping at the
same time and installing the 20’-0” pedestrian
realm. Therefore, near-term improvements
propose safety strategies that can occur
before and during different phases of mall site
development.

3.3.4 CLARES STREET NEAR-TERM VS LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENT PLANS

CLARES STREET NEAR-TERM PLAN AND ENLARGEMENT
In-depth overview provided in section 3.3.6
The Corridor Plan provides two overall
improvement plans for Clares Street. The two
plans focus on Zone 02 and are designed to be
implemented in different stages of the Mall site
redevelopment.

The Near-term plan provides safety
improvements that can be implemented
before the Mall site redevelopment. As future
development applications are submitted, the
City should evaluate potential traffic impacts to

NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENT PLAN CLARES STREET
ensure roadway operations remain functional,
as the scope of future redevelopment is not
currently known.

By going from 2 to 1 lane in each direction, all
curbs and medians can be maintained while
still including protected bike lanes on either
side. Traffic counts along Clares Street were
analyzed and indicate that these improvements
and lane reduction are feasible for current and
future projected vehicular flow, while improving
active transportation infrastructure.

CLARES STREET LONG-TERM PLAN ENLARGEMENT
In-depth overview provided in section 3.3.7
In 2026, new zoning was adopted to incentivize
the redevelopment of the Capitola Mall site. The
City anticipates up to 1,777 new residential units
within the mall block at full buildout.

The Long-term plan provides a vision of
safety improvements that are dependent on
the completion of the Mall site redevelopment.

The zoning code requires street frontage
improvements along Clares Street as portions
of the redevelopment occur. This plan
incorporates those improvements into the

LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENT PLAN CLARES STREET
study by adding dedicated bike lanes while
maintaining 2 lanes in each direction, utilizing
the Pedestrian Realm zone to increase the
usable right-of-way (section 3.1.2).

STANDARDS BY BEN

NOBLE PLANNING
The extent of improvements for Capitola Road
are from the City limit at 30th Avenue to 42nd
Avenue. The majority of this stretch of Capitola
was recently improved in 2023.

Further modification to curbs, lane width, and
road striping however are not proposed in this
section of the corridor plan.

This is an important east-west connector for
the City of Capitola, particularly as it functions
as a gateway for traffic coming from the west.

The plan includes placemaking opportunities
and enhancements to the existing median to
strengthen the identity along the length of the
corridor.

Additionally, the block between Clares Street
and 41st Avenue is adjacent to the Capitola Mall
site and therefore is considered a “Perimeter
Street” with the potential for an expanded
pedestrian realm through future redevelopment.

The improvements proposed are consistent
with those shown in Zone 02 of 41st Avenue,
creating a consistent treatment at the
intersection of the two significant corridors.

3.5 OVERALL CORRIDOR

DESIGN STRATEGIES
In addition to the typical sections for each
corridor and sub-zone, there are a number
of conditions that are common throughout
the entire plan area.

The following vignettes focus on key design
strategies that may be deployed in many
instances. Each condition includes a best
practice to follow, to serve as a guide for
future implementation.

It is understood however, that these are
still conceptual in nature. Construction
drawings will be developed for each phase
of corridor improvement implementation,
at which time best practices and typical
conditions will be replaced with detailed
engineering solutions.

Note: Sidewalks adjacent to existing or
planned bus stops on 41st Avenue and
Capitola Road must be a minimum of 8’
wide. Where full 8’ sidewalk width is not
feasible, 8’x4’ ADA landing pads must be
installed.

CITY OF CAPITOLA Corridor Plan: 41st Avenue, Clares Street, Capitola Road DRAFT 05.21.26
73 284
Item 7 B.

Throughout the plan area, there are several
core guidelines that should be followed for the
design of the pedestrian realm, as defined by
the area from back of curb.

Roadway improvements should comply with
street design standards and requirements of
the City of Capitola the Central Fire District
of Santa Cruz County, and applicable state
a federal design guidance (e.g., Caltrans
Complete Streets Guide and Caltrans Bikeway
Facility Design Manual). Similarly, all bicycle
improvements should comply with applicable
state and federal design guidance including but
not limited to the Caltrans Complete Streets
Design Guidance and the Caltrans Bikeway
Facility Design Manual.
a) Accessibility. Public realm improvements
should incorporate the principles of universal
design and ensure all sidewalks, crossings,
curb ramps, etc. comply with California Building
Code ADA standards.
b) Wayfinding and Signage. Consistent
wayfinding and signage along each corridor
is key to defining the corridor and district
character (section 4.1). At intersections,
directional signage should also be considered
to provide navigational guidance to pedestrians,
bicyclists, and vehicles. For consistency
with the regional bicycle network, signage
should match Santa Cruz County Regional
Transportation Commission (SCCRTC) signage
implementation program.
c) Crossings. Pedestrian comfort and safety
require consistent and clear street crossings.
i. Standard painted crosswalks in most
cases are sufficient, but at key intersections
or gateways, they could be enhanced
with paint or stamped asphalt patterning
(section 4.1.2).
ii. Design considerations at new mid-block
crossings (section 3.3.2) may include
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
(RRFBs), HAWK signals, raised crosswalks,
etc.
iii. Based on crash data, advance stop bars
for vehicles should also be implemented
before crosswalk and bicycle box at key
intersections (refer to LRSP).
d) Hardscape. The default for pedestrian
paving should be city standard gray concrete
for ease of maintenance. At key intersections
and within the Perimeter Street landscape
furniture zone (section 3.1.2), accent paving
can be used to differentiate a dedicated site
furnishing zone separate from the path of travel.

3.6.1 OVERALL CORRIDOR PEDESTRIAN

REALM DESIGN GUIDELINES

3.6 CORRIDOR DESIGN STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
Refer to the hardscape material palette (section

4.3.1) for examples.
e) Furnishings. Furnishings such as bicycle
racks, seating, and trash receptacles should be
selected in consultation with the City, with a
consistent palette installed throughout the plan
area. (section 4.3.2).

Specific standards regarding frequency of
different fixture types varies depending on
the corridor zone, as detailed in the following
design standard sections. The following
guidelines, however, apply to all corridors:
i. Furnishings should maintain a minimum
5-foot clearance around driveways, fire
hydrants, and transit stops.
ii. Bicycle racks should comply with City
of Capitola standards, preferably with
some version of the inverted “U” rack
design, supporting the frame at two points.

Prioritize locations near destinations along
corridor.
iii. Seating/benches should feature a
minimum depth of 18-20 inches, height
of 17-19 inches, and length of 4-6 feet.

Prioritize locations in the shade.
iv. Trash receptacles should have a
minimum 30-gallon capacity with lids
CITY OF CAPITOLA Corridor Plan: 41st Avenue, Clares Street, Capitola Road DRAFT 05.21.26
74 285
Item 7 B.
to control litter and stormwater entry.

Placement of trash and recycling should
comply with City of Capitola waste
management policies.
v. Furnishing colors and materials should
be durable, vandal resistant, and low
maintenance.
vi. Selected furnishings should support
the district branding concept and be
chosen from the furnishing material palette
provided (section 4.3.2). Once a given
fixture has been selected, all future phases
of implementation shall match (ex. same
bench, same bike rack, etc.).
f) Lighting. Roadway and intersection
light levels should be reviewed based on
recommendations in the LRSP and updated
to ensure adequate lighting is provided at all
crosswalks. For additional pedestrian-scale
lighting, refer to section 3.6.3 for low-traffic
zones.
g) Understory Planting. Planting design must
refer to sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 depending
on the selected district branding concept and
should be developed in consultation with the
City to ensure that maintenance requirements
are met.
i. Plant selection should maximize native
and adapted species that are drought
tolerant.
ii. Plant selection and placement should
maintain sight lines, avoiding plants that
exceed 30” height at all intersections.
h) Street Trees. Street tree selection must
refer to sections 4.3.5 and 4.3.6 depending on
the selected district branding concept. Street
trees should be updated along all corridors, as
indicated in the proposed improvement plans
– at back of curb and within medians, where
applicable. Street tree species should generally
be consistent along each street, however there
may be differentiating factors such as the
following:
• Signature specimens at gateways, key
intersections
• Unique species in medians
• Smaller species as required by utility
restrictions (ex. under PGE power lines)
Specific standards regarding typical tree
spacing varies depending on the corridor zone,
as detailed in the following design standard
sections. The following guidelines, however,
apply to all corridors:
i. Tree well size: minimum 4 feet each
direction.
ii. Planter well surfacing: tree grates,
permeable pavers, decomposed granite,
understory plants, or similar treatments as
determined by City.
(i) Green Infrastructure. Green stormwater
infrastructure to capture and treat runoff may
be incorporated into the planters at back of
curb to comply with the Municipal Regional
Stormwater Permit requirements. Silva cells
at tree wells may also be considered in space
constrained conditions.

CITY OF CAPITOLA Corridor Plan: 41st Avenue, Clares Street, Capitola Road 289 Item 7 B.

4.1 WAYFINDING
During initial outreach, the community highlighted
a lack of identity of the plan area, with the feeling
that 41st Avenue in particular could be a retail
thoroughfare located anywhere. It was noted there is
a general lack of connection to the Capitola context
and culture.

The redevelopment on the Capitola Mall site serves
as a catalyst for transforming the identity of the
district. Surrounded by important regional connectors
—Highway 1, the Coastal Rail Trail, Capitola Road—
there is ample opportunity for improved wayfinding
along these corridors.

To the north and south end of the 41st Avenue study
extents, primary gateway monuments should be
considered to anchor the district. Meanwhile, at
the interface between county and city on Capitola
Road, a secondary gateway could be considered
to welcome local cut-over traffic into the City of
Capitola.

The improvements in the previous chapter include
enhancements to the medians along the corridors as
well. These spaces offer additional opportunities for
public art to bring activation and local expression to
the district.

As the corridor moves closer to the water, the
branding concept (section 4.2) transitions from
“Mountains + Bluffs,” which emphasizes a connection
to the surrounding landscape and hillside character,
into “Gateway to the Shore,” which introduces a more
coastal, beach-oriented identity.

Developing a cohesive wayfinding and
signage strategy is crucial to establishing a
district identity.

Community input during the planning
process demonstrated an interest in natural
materials that reflect the coastal influence.

This study acts as a guide, however
future artists will need to be selected to
incorporate the overall branding strategy
for the district.

Wayfinding should include a hierarchy of
different elements, such as the following: • Primary Gateway Monument(s):
focused on 41st Avenue and the highest
volume entry points to the district
• Secondary Gateway Monument(s):
more appropriate for Capitola Road and
other more local-oriented entries
• Directional & Informational Signage:
distributed throughout the corridors
to provide direction between key
destinations and other districts -
regionally and within Capitola
• Paint and color strategy
The wayfinding and signage strategy can
also be complemented through public art.

Collaboration with existing city-wide
public art initiatives is a great way to
incorporate more cultural expression
into these corridor, particularly as future
redevelopment may provide funding.

The type and format for public art can be
determined through future study, however
it should be coordinated with wayfinding
and branding to reinforce a consistent
identity for the district.

Within each corridor, there are a range of
locations that could support different forms
of public art installations:
• Existing Art Program: Existing public
art along 41st Avenue presents an
opportunity to create a more cohesive
corridor experience. By grouping
artworks more strategically, the district
can support a broader variety of art
while reinforcing a consistent visual
identity. This art program could also be
updated as part of the district branding
strategy and expanded to additional
median locations, particularly along
Capitola Road and potentially Clares
Street.
• Crosswalks: all corridors include
safety enhancements to crosswalks.

Crosswalk design could be considered
as well (ex. Clares Street and Wharf
Road)
• Infrastructure: the amount of existing
infrastructure (ex. poles, vaults,
enclosures) to remain on these
corridors is significant and could be
enhanced through a public art program.
• Street Frontage: As adjacent properties
redevelop, the street edge presents
an opportunity to incorporate public
art. Future development may provide
dedicated spaces for installations in
visible, accessible locations.

4.1.2 PUBLIC ART OPPORTUNITIES 4.1.3 OPEN SPACE OPPORTUNITIES The City of Capitola has limited property
along the study corridors other than within
the right-of-way. As properties redevelop,
street frontages offer an opportunity to
expand the corridor’s open space network.

The City should encourage redevelopment
projects to incorporate publicly accessible
pocket parks, plazas, and landscaped
gathering areas along the corridor frontage
where feasible, enhancing the pedestrian
experience and supporting a more active
public realm.

CAPITOLA’S COASTAL PROMENADE
This concept applies to Zones 03 and 04 of 41st Avenue.

This concept follows the natural descent to the ocean, using paving, planting, and signage to create a flowing rhythm toward the coast.

Drought-tolerant species like lavender, agave, and muhly grass bring color and texture, while soft curves, faded hues, and surf-inspired details reflect Capitola’s coastal identity.

VERTICAL ICONS: A LAYERED PLANTING STRATEGY
Palms define the skyline, grounded by a textured understory of silver groundcovers, succulents, and grasses like Dymondia, Senecio, and Aloe. This layered palette offers seasonal interest and a refined coastal feel at the pedestrian scale.

This concept applies to Zones 01 and 02 of 41st Avenue and the entire study area of Clares Street and Capitola Road.

This concept reimagines 41st Avenue as an inland extension of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Native plantings transition from foothill species like manzanita and salvia to coastal textures like sea thrift and beach strawberry—marking a journey through surf culture, ecology, and watershed history.

RESTORING THE BLUFF: A NATIVE PLANTING STRATEGY
Inspired by Central Coast bluffs, the planting palette features low, wind-tolerant natives like ceanothus, buckwheat, and hummingbird sage. These resilient, low-maintenance species support pollinators and echo Capitola’s shoreline ecology.

SPECIAL PAVING EXAMPLE - PAVER FURNISHING ZONE STABILIZED GRAVEL AREA AROUND TREE WELL The hardscape palette shall support a
continuous pedestrian experience throughout
the district. In key locations, special paving or
permeable alternatives can be considered to
indicate different uses or destinations.

STANDARD SIDEWALKS
The majority of sidewalk improvements
will be city standard gray sidewalk for cost
considerations and ease of maintenance.

SPECIAL PAVING CONDITIONS
In some areas with higher pedestrian traffic, at
activation nodes, or within the street furniture
zone, a special paving treatment may enhance
the public realm experience and support the
corridor identity.

Materials, paving patterns, and finishes should
reflect the selected branding concept for the
district, for example soft curves, subtle variation,
and weathered tones reflecting Capitola’s surf
culture and seaside identity.

PERMEABLE PAVING
While special paving may include permeable
pavers, other areas of passive use might be
appropriate for permeable options such as
decomposed granite. Accessibility standards
and guidelines should always be met, but
this variation in surfacing can lower cost and
improve the overall pedestrian environment.

UNDERSTORY PLANTING PALETTE

SUCCULENTS, AGAVES
Succulents and agaves have a sculptural form,
and can be placed strategically within the
landscape for a more iconic planting design.

These specimens shall be considered at the
gateways to the Corridor, as well as at key
intersections.

GRASSES
Grasses are used to provide movement and
textural contrast to bold succulents and agaves.

Selected species shall emphasize clean form,
fine texture, and drought tolerance, softening
hardscape edges and reinforcing a coastal
gateway character.

In addition to the hardscape and furnishing
palettes, the plant selection will also reinforce
the selected branding concept identity.

For the Gateway to the Shore concept, the
understory aims to evoke the ocean with a
monochromatic cool palette, broken with
seasonal contrasting color accents. The species
selection is balanced between more structural
succulents and agaves, as well as grasses that
achieve more fluid movement.

All final plant selection shall take maintenance
into consideration, as well as the suitability
of a species for the given context. The plants
recommended here are all drought tolerant, and
either native or climate adapted to this region.

No known invasive plants should be specified
under any circumstances, and water intensive
plantings should be avoided.

the selected branding concept identity.

For the Mountains + Bluffs concept, the
understory is inspired by the dynamic textural
plant community of coastal bluffs. Warm, rustic
tones dominate the palette while individual
species selection contribute to cohesive palette.

All final plant selection should take
maintenance into consideration, as well as the
suitability of a species for the given context.

The plants recommended here are all drought
tolerant, and either native or climate adapted to
this region. No known invasive plants may be

4.3.5 GATEWAY TO THE SHORE

TREE PLANTING PALETTE
Paired with the understory palette, iconic tree
species can enhance the selected branding
concept and define a district identity.

PALM TREES
Highly visible markers, palm trees would define
a clear axis for the Gateway to the Shore
concept. Most appropriate as a median tree,
palms don’t offer shade benefits to sidewalks.

Alternatively, they can be intermixed with midsize trees.

Given the overhead utility lines on these
corridors, some street trees will need to be
smaller species (to remain under 25’-0”).

All final plant selection should take
maintenance into consideration, as well as the
suitability of a species for the given context.

The plants recommended here are all drought
tolerant, and either native or climate adapted to
this region. No known invasive plants may be
specified under any circumstances, and water
intensive plantings shall be avoided.

PLANTING PALETTE
Paired with the understory options above, a
native tree palette can enhance the selected
branding concept and reinforce the district
identity.

OAK TREES
For the Mountains + Bluffs concept, a variety
of oak trees could be considered for the tree
palette. At gateway locations, larger specimens
such as Coast Live Oaks could anchor the
corridor. Meanwhile other more column oak
species may be more appropriate as street
trees.

To continue with a predominately native
California palette, additional medium- and
small-sized trees can be utilized in more space
constrained locations.

All final plant selection shall take maintenance
into consideration, as well as the suitability
of a species for the given context. The plants
recommended here are all drought tolerant, and
either native or climate adapted to this region.

No known invasive plants may be specified
under any circumstances, and water intensive
plantings shall be avoided.

55 9.1.3. Case-Study Locations
The network screening analysis identified the high-severity crash locations within the City of Capitola. The network screening analysis tables for intersections and roadway segments are summarized in Appendix A and Appendix B. Based on the network screening analysis, the highest number of crashes occurred at the following locations.
 Signalized Intersections:
o 41st Avenue and Capitola Rd (6 crashes)
o 41st Avenue and Clares St (6 crashes)
 Unsignalized intersections:
o 41ST Avenue and Cory St (4 crashes)
 Roadway Segment
o 41st Avenue from Gross Rd to Clares St (5 crashes)
Several of the highest crash locations identified through the network screening analysis are located along 41st Avenue and Bay Avenue, which remain the City’s highest priority corridors for roadway safety improvements. These corridors are already the focus of ongoing City safety improvement efforts and capital projects. Because improvements are currently being advanced along these corridors, they were not selected as case study locations in this LRSP. Instead, the case studies presented below focus on additional locations identified through the analysis where conceptual countermeasures may help inform future project development and funding applications.

The case-study locations selected are shown in Table 6.

A total of five case study locations (2 signalized intersections, 2 unsignalized intersections, and 1 roadway segment) were selected for further analysis and recommendations. For each of these locations, recommended countermeasures were developed to provide a case study to organize projects when applying for funding. While the crash analysis identified higher crash concentrations along corridors such as 41st Avenue and Bay Avenue, those corridors are already the focus of ongoing City safety improvement efforts. The case study locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to illustrate systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits. The recommended countermeasures are listed in Table 7.

These countermeasures are intended to illustrate possible safety improvements and would require further evaluation and design before implementation.

An additional set of low-cost countermeasures is also recommended for systemic implementation across the City. These improvements include installing retroreflective signage and traffic signal backplates, as well as a recommendation to follow the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 413 to restrict parking within 20 feet of crosswalks on the vehicle approach side with the goal of improving visibility for all road users (also known as daylighting)5 . AB 413 was signed into law on October 10,
2023, with ticketed enforcement being permitted following January 1, 2025. While daylighting may be conducted with low-cost treatments such as signage, painted curbs, or raised delineators, it is recommended that the City also conduct outreach to inform the public about this new law and its impact in removing parking spaces.

The opinion of probable cost provides planning-level ROM costs for the proposed improvements, broken down by corridor and zone. The opinion of probable cost is intended to support early budgeting, funding discussions, and implementation planning, and will require further refinement during future design phases as project scope, detailed site conditions, and construction assumptions are developed.
