Defending against offshore oil drilling and
deep-sea mining along the California coast:
Central Coast leadership
Save Our Shores: October 8, 2026
Capitola City Council
24 Item 3 C.
The renewed threat of offshore oil drilling:
6 California lease sales
25 Item 3 C.
An emerging threat:
deep-sea mining
E.O. 14285 & DSHMRA (1980)
26 Item 3 C.
Potential
Consequences ● Threat of oil spills ● Harm to marine
life
● Increased air
pollution
● Accelerated
climate change
● Industrialization
of our coastline
27 Item 3 C.
● Threat of oil drilling off our coast in the 1980’s was very real.
● In November 1985, 82% of Santa Cruz City voters
approved Measure A, to require that any land use
changes to allow onshore facilities for offshore oil
and gas development be subject to a vote of the
people
● Voters directed the city “use its resources” to spread the idea.
● Save Our Shores was awarded a contract to
encourage other coastal communities to pass similar
laws: Dan Haifley traveled the CA coast to meet with
community groups and government bodies
● In June 1986, 78% of Santa Cruz County voters
approved Measure A.
Central Coast Leadership: Onshore Ordinances
5 Photo: Dan Haifley
28 Item 3 C.
After 40 years, it is time to
fortify the Blue Wall • Strengthen legal
defensibility of existing
ordinances.
• Broaden scope to include
emerging threat of
seabed mining.
• Add ordinances to
jurisdictions where they
do not exist.
29 Item 3 C.
Start with Santa Cruz City and County
1. Review case law and revise original
“legal memo” from 2019
2. Update 2019 ‘model ordinance’ to
address DSM
3. Legal review found that model
ordinance IS a legal exercise of local
government authority
4. Incorporate Santa Cruz City and
County specifics to tailor to our local
issues
30 Item 3 C.
Major elements of 2026 revised Santa Cruz ordinances
• Voter approval still required: for any new or expanded onshore facility supporting offshore oil, gas, or deep-sea mining
• Protects core coastal assets: coastal ecosystems, tourism economy, fisheries, and public health
• Targets key infrastructure: transport, storage, processing, and waste facilities tied to offshore extraction
• Legally durable approach: not an outright ban; strong alignment with state & federal law; does not affect current facilities 31 Item 3 C.
SC City and County (Unanimous) Approval
June 9, 2026
32 Item 3 C.
● Approved Ordinance 632 5-0 in April
1987
● Chapter 17.96 prohibits development of
onshore support facilities for oil and
gas
● Opportunity for Capitola City Council to
develop and approve a parallel
ordinance on deep-sea mining to ban
onshore support facilities
City of Capitola ordinance
33 Item 3 C.
Summary
• The threats of oil and DSM are real – and
moving quickly
• Local onshore ordinances across
California have protected the coast but
they need to be strengthened and
modernized to meet the moment
• Capitola was a leader in this fight more
than 40 years ago and it can do so again
• Opportunity for Capitola to join other
coastal jurisdictions in California to ensure
voters get to decide on the future of the
California coast 34

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Jade Street Park Restroom Renovation Change Orders Recommended Action: Ratify Change Order 2 with CWS Construction Group, Inc. in the amount of $103,010.60; approve Change Order 3 in an amount not to exceed $8,546.58; and authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order 3, bringing the construction contract to a total not to exceed $624,329.97.
Background: On October 23, 2025, the City Council awarded CWS Construction Group, Inc. a $484,000 contract to renovate the Jade Street Park restroom. The project modernizes the existing facility and improves accessibility and capacity as part of the broader Jade Street Park improvements. Construction is complete, but the Notice of Completion is pending final inspections and closeout documentation required for the federally funded project.
Discussion: During construction, unforeseen conditions and design revisions resulted in two change orders. Change Order 1, for $28,772.79, addressed deteriorated door frames and roof members and the removal of concrete thicker than shown in the plans.
Change Order 2 totals $103,010.60. The largest portion, $78,458.82, covers plumbing revisions required when existing conditions prevented installation as originally designed. The work included changes to underground sewer and water piping, removal and replacement of portions of the floor slab, new wall penetrations, and restoration of affected surfaces. The balance covers preparation of existing painted walls for the specified coating system. Change Order 2 also added 14 working days to the contract.
Both change orders have been executed, increasing the contract from $484,000 to $615,783.39.
Because Change Order 2 brought the cumulative changes above the $50,000 Council approval threshold, staff requests that the Council ratify it.
The contractor has also submitted Change Order Request 13 for $8,546.58 to provide power to the electronic restroom door hardware. Staff proposes to include this work in Change Order 3. Approval would bring the contract total to $624,329.97.
Fiscal Impact: Change Orders 1 and 2 total $131,783.39. Proposed Change Order 3 would add up to $8,546.58, for a cumulative increase of $140,329.97 over the original construction contract. The October 2025 award report identified funding for the broader Jade Street Park improvements, including the Community Center, playground, patio, and restroom. The current approved program budget is $10,813,900. After expenditures and outstanding commitments for the other project components, $42,500 remains available in general fund contingency for the project. This amount covers proposed Change Order 3 and leaves $34,000 available for remaining contingency. 45 Item 8 B.

Question Question from Soham Deshpande CWS Construction Group Inc on Friday, Jan 30, 2026 at 02:50 PM EST Demo Note 4 calls for the existing metal door frames to be retained. However, the two (2) existing single door frames are unequal rabbet frames with the smaller rabbet on the exterior side, and they do not allow the doors to swing out as shown.
Out-swinging doors will not fit these frames.
In addition, one existing frame is damaged at the bottom (see attached photos). Replacement of the frames is recommended.
Please advise how you would like to proceed.

BLRA RESPONSE 2/3/26:
Based on our review, the existing frames may be swapped between restrooms to locate the larger rabbet on the exterior side, which could allow the doors to swing out as indicated. Contractor shall field verify whether the existing frames can be removed and reinstalled in the opposite restroom without compromising the frames, adjacent slump block, or code compliance. Some exploratory work may be required to confirm feasibility. If field verification determines that the frames cannot be reused or swapped due to existing conditions, damage, or installation constraints, please provide a price proposal for replacement frames. 52 Item 8 B.

Re: Jade St Restroom : Termite-Affected Rafters

To Soham Deshpande <[email protected]>; EJ Navarro <[email protected]> Cc Heather Molina <[email protected]>; cslacksr <[email protected]>; Charlie Slack Jr <[email protected]>; Chris Slack <[email protected]> Hi EJ and Soham,
Just a follow-up to Soham’s email. Thanks for sending the updated photos showing the cut back rafters. Given the condition shown, we would recommend treating the termite affected areas.
Whether treatment is carried out or not, we would recommend that the holes in the affected rafters be addressed as follows:
1. Remove all loose, deteriorated, or compromised material.
2. Apply a penetrating epoxy wood consolidant, (like Abatron Liquid Wood, or equal) to seal all exposed and affected wood fibers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to fully cure.
3. Fill voids, holes, and irregular surfaces with an exterior-grade epoxy or polyester wood filler like Bondo, or equal. Tool and sand to restore original profile.
4. Seal all repaired surfaces and exposed end grain with epoxy or oil-based primer suitable for exterior wood applications.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Kate

Hi EJ,
During the process of cutting the existing rafters, CWS discovered that some of the rafters are termite affected. This condition was also verbally notified to the City during the site meeting held on 02/05.
Per the City’s direction, CWS will proceed with construction strictly in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, with no termite treatment to be performed.
Please note that any future damages resulting from the existing termite infestation or other related concealed conditions shall not be the responsibility or liability of CWS.
Thank you,

BOSCO CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC. WILL PROVIDE ALL MATERIALS AND LABOR REQUIRED PER THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE ABOVEMENTIONED PROJECT. THIS WORK WILL BE PERFORMED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
RFI QUESTION:
DURING DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING CONCRETE PAD AND CURBS, THE CONTRACTOR ENCOUNTERED EXISTING CONCRETE THICKNESSES SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN INDICATED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
THE PLANS INDICATED A 4-INCH CONCRETE SLAB; HOWEVER, FIELD VERIFICATION DURING DEMOLITION REVEALED THE SLAB TO BE AT LEAST APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES THICK, WITH PORTIONS REACHING UP TO APPROXIMATELY 18 INCHES THICK OVER A 2-FOOT SECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXISTING CURBS EXTEND APPROXIMATELY 22 INCHES DEEP, WHICH WAS NOT SHOWN OR REASONABLY INFERABLE FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
THESE CONDITIONS WERE CONCEALED PRIOR TO DEMOLITION AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN REASONABLY IDENTIFIED DURING BIDDING. THE INCREASED THICKNESS REQUIRED ADDITIONAL DEMOLITION EFFORT, EQUIPMENT, LABOR, AND DISPOSAL BEYOND THE SCOPE ASSUMED IN THE BID DOCUMENTS.
PURSUANT TO THE CONTRACT PROVISIONS FOR DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS AND CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS, THE
CONTRACTOR RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT A PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER (PCO) FOR THE ADDITIONAL WORK REQUIRED TO REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF THE UNFORESEEN CONCRETE.
PLEASE ADVISE IF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED.

Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 2026
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Notice of Completion for Reposa Avenue
Recommended Action: 1) Accept as complete the 2026 Reposa Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project completed by Betz Works Inc. at a final cost of $151,000; 2) authorize the City Clerk to file and record a Notice of Completion; and 3) authorize the release of the contract retention $6,800 as prescribed in the construction agreement.
Background: On June 25, 2026, the City Council awarded Betz Works Inc. a $134,800 contract to rehabilitate Reposa Avenue between 38th Avenue and 41st Avenue. The work included localized pavement dig-outs, an asphalt concrete overlay, and replacement pavement striping.
Discussion: The City approved a $16,200 change order for additional pavement markings, bringing the final contract cost to $151,000. The roadway was substantially completed and reopened to the public on August 24, 2026. Staff recommends the Council accept the project as complete and authorize the Notice of Completion and release of retention.
Fiscal Impact: The final contract cost of $151,000 is $79,000 below the approximately $230,000 Engineer’s Estimate. Funding is available in the FY 2026–27 Pavement Rehabilitation Program budget from SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account and Measure D revenues. The remaining $79,000 is in Road Maintenance Account for utilization on road projects. The $6,800 retention is included in the final contract cost.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 2026
From: Administrative Services Department
Subject: Parking Rates
Recommended Action: Conduct a second reading and adopt an ordinance of the City of Capitola amending Municipal Code Section 10.38.010 and finding that adoption of the ordinance is exempt from CEQA.
Background: On September 24, 2026, the City Council unanimously approved the introduction of an ordinance adjusting parking rates as follows:
Increase parking rates from $2.00 per hour to $2.50 per hour in the Village and maintain three-hour maximum.
Increase parking rates from $2.00 per hour to $2.50 per hour on Cliff Drive and maintain twelve-hour maximum.
Increase parking rates from $1.00 per hour to $1.50 per hour in the Upper and Lower Beach and Village parking lots and maintain twelve-hour maximum.
On September 10, 2026, the public review draft of the ordinance was published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel and on the city’s website.
Discussion: The proposed amendment adjusts the parking meter rates in Section 10.38, consistent with City Council direction. The proposed Village parking meter rate would increase from $2.00 to $2.50 per hour, while maintaining the existing three-hour parking limit. The proposed rate for Cliff Drive would increase from $2.00 to $2.50 per hour and the City Upper and Lower Parking Lots would increase from $1.00 to $1.50 per hour, while maintaining the current enforceable hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The City evaluated the proposed parking rate changes in relation to the Coastal Act and issued a Coastal Development Permit for the updated rates on September 24.
Fiscal Impact: The proposed rate increases are estimated to generate approximately $337,000 in additional annual parking revenue.
The additional revenue would be deposited into the appropriate City fund and could be used to offset eligible costs associated with parking operations, maintenance, enforcement, equipment, capital improvements, and other parking-related and coastal access and enhancement expenditures, subject to applicable budgetary requirements.
If approved, staff will return at a future meeting with a fee schedule amendment for Council consideration of potential increases to Special Event Permits as well as Outdoor Dining rates.

Item 8 D.
WHEREAS, the City Council intends that the parking meter rates established by this ordinance be implemented in a manner consistent with the City’s certified Local Coastal Program, applicable Coastal Development Permit requirements and findings, and all conditions imposed through the applicable Coastal Development Permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPITOLA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Amendment to Municipal Code.
Section 10.38.010(A)(3) of Chapter 10.38 of Title 10 of the Capitola Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
3. Parking Meter Zone B. The city-owned parking lots adjacent to, and directly to the north and east of Capitola City Hall, comprised of APN 35-141-33 located at 426 Capitola Avenue, which encompasses the area known as the Upper and Lower City Hall Parking Lots, as depicted on the map attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter as Exhibit “B” found on file in Ordinance 1061 in the office of the City Clerk, shall constitute Parking Meter Zone B.
And,
Section 10.38.010(C) of Chapter 10.38 of Title 10 of the Capitola Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
C. Parking Meter Rates. The following parking meter rates are hereby established in the City of Capitola:
Parking Meter Zone Location Rate
Zone A(1) Village Area $2.50 per
hour
Zone A(2) Cliff Drive Area $2.50 per
hour
Zone B Upper and Lower City Hall Parking Lots $1.50 per hour
SECTION 2. Limitations of Amendment to Municipal Code. The preceding section shall not be construed to authorize implementation of a parking rate change in a manner inconsistent with an applicable Coastal Development Permit or the City’s certified Local Coastal Program.
SECTION 3. Coastal Development Permit and Local Coastal Program Compliance.
The City Council finds that the parking meter rate changes authorized by this ordinance are subject to the applicable Coastal Development Permit requirements and shall be implemented consistent with the findings and conditions of the applicable Coastal Development Permit.
127
Item 8 D.
The City Council further finds that implementation of the amended parking meter rates, together with the measures identified in the associated Coastal Development Permit, is intended to maintain and enhance public access to coastal resources, including by maintaining reasonably priced parking alternatives, providing lower-cost parking in City parking lots, supporting multimodal access, and continuing City services and facilities that provide and support public access to the coastal zone.
The City Council incorporates by reference the applicable Coastal Development Permit findings and conditions associated with the parking meter rate changes. In the event of a conflict between this ordinance and an applicable Coastal Development Permit or the City’s certified Local Coastal Program, the Coastal Development Permit and certified Local Coastal Program shall control to the extent required by law.
SECTION 4. Environmental Review.
The City Council finds that adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 15301 (Existing Facilities), because the ordinance establishes parking meter rates and does not result in a physical change to the environment.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Capitola hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 6. Codification.
The City Clerk is authorized and directed to cause this ordinance to be codified as an amendment to Section 10.38.010(C) of the Capitola Municipal Code.
SECTION 7. Effective Date.

Subject: Budget Amendment – California Voting Rights Act Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund budget to appropriate $35,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to fund reimbursement costs associated with the City's transition from an at-large election system to a district-based election system pursuant to the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA).
Background: On March 13, 2026, the City received written notice alleging that the City's thencurrent at-large election system for electing members of the City's governing body violated the California Voting Rights Act of 2001.
Following receipt of the notice, the City initiated the statutory process under California Elections Code Section 10010 to consider transitioning from an at-large election system to a district-based election system. The City subsequently completed the required process, including consideration of district-based election maps and the associated election sequence.
On August 27, 2026, the City Council adopted a district-based election system, including a corresponding district map and election sequence.
Following adoption of the district-based election system, the City received a request for reimbursement pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010(f). The request seeks reimbursement for costs associated with the work performed prior to and in connection with the initial notice provided to the City.
The request includes an invoice from Compass Demographics, Inc. for demographic services related to the initial notice, as well as a time and task chart documenting work performed by attorneys with Shenkman & Hughes PC.
The documentation submitted identifies total costs of $39,526.45. Shenkman & Hughes PC has offered to accept payment of $35,000, which is less than the amount of costs identified in the supporting documentation and below the applicable statutory reimbursement limit cited in the request.
Discussion: California Elections Code Section 10010(f) provides for reimbursement of certain costs incurred in connection with a successful CVRA challenge to an at-large election system.
The reimbursement provisions establish a statutory limitation on recoverable costs.
The City's transition to a district-based election system was completed with the adoption of the district map and election sequence on August 27, 2026.
Staff recommends appropriating $35,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to provide funding for the payment. Use of the contingency reserve is appropriate because the expense was not anticipated or included as a specific appropriation in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund budget.

Item 8 E.
Other costs associated with the Districting Process include:
Additional costs include $35,000 for the Demographer, $10,000 for public outreach and approximately $48,464 in legal fees for a total cost of $128,864.
Fiscal Impact: The proposed budget amendment would transfer $35,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve and appropriate the amount to the General Fund expenditure account established for legal/professional services associated with the City's CVRA election system transition. The amendment does not increase total General Fund appropriations; it reallocates existing General Fund resources from contingency reserves to fund the expense.

Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 2026
From: Finance Department
Subject: Amend FY 2026-27 City Fee Schedule
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution amending the fee schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-
27. Background: On June 25, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 4500 adopting the FY 2026- 27 Citywide Fee Schedule. The City Upper and Lower Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Fee remained $2.00, consistent with the rate established in November 2024.
At the May 14, 2026, City Council meeting, staff reported that the existing EV charging rates did not adequately recover the cost of electricity consumed by users and referenced plans to upgrade the City’s EV charging infrastructure in the City Upper Parking Lot.
Discussion: On September 15, 2026, the installation of four new Blink EV chargers was completed in the City Upper Parking Lot. These chargers can serve up to eight vehicles simultaneously and provide usage data and rate plans based on kilowatt-hours (kWh), allowing for more precise cost recovery.
The current FY 2026-27 fee schedule includes an electric vehicle charging rate of $2.00 per hour, which was based on the older charging stations that did not support billing per kWh. With the installation of the new Blink chargers, the City can implement more accurate, consumption-based pricing.
Staff recommends amending the fee schedule to set the City Parking Lot EV charging rate at the lot rate plus $0.45 / kWh which is consistent with the EV Chargers located at the Jade Street Community Center.
Fiscal Impact: The amended EV charging rate will offset the cost of electricity associated with charging vehicles at the new Blink EV stations in the City Upper Parking Lot.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 2026
From: Community and Economic Development Department
Subject: Consideration and Potential Adoption of Resolution Accepting Coastal Commission Recommendation for Local Coastal Program Amendments
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution accepting the California Coastal Commission’s recommendations for the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project’s Local Coastal Program Amendments.
Background: The City of Capitola is undertaking the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project to address coastal erosion, sea-level rise, public access, and other coastal hazards affecting Cliff Drive and the surrounding coastal area. The project includes improvements intended to enhance the long-term resiliency of the coastline while maintaining and improving public access and protecting coastal resources.
The City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) provides the guiding policy and regulatory framework for development and resource protection within Capitola’s coastal zone. The LCP consists of two components:
1. Land Use Plan (LUP) – Establishes policies addressing land use, public access, coastal resources, hazards, and other coastal planning issues; and
2. Implementation Plan (IP) – Contains the zoning regulations, development standards, procedures, and other regulations used to implement the Land Use Plan.
As part of the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project, the City identified the need to update portions of both the LUP and IP to address outdated provisions and establish a regulatory framework for coastal resiliency and adaptation. The LCP amendments address issues including coastal hazards, sea-level rise, bluff and beach erosion, public access, environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA), geological hazards, parking, and coastal armoring associated with public access improvements.
The City received a grant from the California Coastal Commission to assist with the Cliff Drive Resiliency Project. Updating the City's LCP is a requirement of that grant.
On September 4, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the LCP Amendments, received public comment, and made two separate motions related to the amendments.
They voted to recommend the City Council adopt the proposed LCP Implementation Plan amendments and to continue the LCP Land Use Plan amendments due to additional edits requested during the meeting.
On October 2, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the additional LCP Land Use Plan amendments, received public comment, and forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council to adopt.
On January 8, 2026, the City Council unanimously introduced the ordinance. The Council also unanimously adopted a resolution for the LCP Land Use Plan, with one minor edit to Land Use Plan Chapter 2: Public Access. Specifically, the implementation section under Policy II-4 was updated to remove the reference to the Village and Park Avenue area since the policy had been amended to focus specifically on Cliff Drive. The ordinance was adopted on January 22, 2026.
Because Capitola's LCP is subject to the California Coastal Act, the City-adopted amendments require certification by the California Coastal Commission before they can become effective.
The City’s LCP Amendments were placed on the California Coastal Commission’s July 10, 2026, agenda for consideration.
147
Item 9 A.
On July 9, 2026, the Coastal Commission posted an addendum to its staff report recommending two modifications to the LCP Amendments in response to public comments received during the Commission's review.
On July 10, 2026, the Coastal Commission acted to certify the LCP Amendments with the two suggested modifications. The Commissions recommended changes are included in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 with redlines highlighting the changes in the full context of each document.
Discussion: The Coastal Commission recommended modification are for the LCP Land Use Plan Chapter 7: Natural Hazards and Zoning Code Chapter 17.32: Parks and Open Space; The Commissions recommended changes are included in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2, with redlines highlighting the changes in the full context of each chapter. Below is a snapshot of the recommended changes with redlines showing deletions in cross out and new text in underline.
Coastal Commission Modification 1: LUP Policy VII-12: Beach and Bluff Erosion (Attachment 1) Policy VII-12. Resiliency and adaptation projects may be approved along Cliff Drive provided they use the best available science to address and mitigate impacts from sea level rise and climate change related phenomena, enhance public recreational access, and protect/enhance ESHA/paleontological resources.
Coastal Commission Modification 2:Table 17.32-1, which is the permitted land use table for the Community Facility and Parks and Open Space Zone, has a footnote added for Public Paths and Coastal Accessways which states “Coastal armoring to support public paths and coastal accessways along Cliff Drive is allowable. See Capitola LCP policy II-4 and VII-12. The Coastal Commission recommended modification is to change the change footnote 2 of IP Table 17.32-1, as follows:
Footnote [2] Coastal armoring to support public paths and coastal accessways along Cliff Drive is allowable if it meets applicable LCP provisions, including Capitola LCP policies II-4, VII-9, and VII-12.
For the first recommended modification, the original wording with “notwithstanding other LCP provisions”, would be interpreted that Policy VII-12 is intended to control even if another LCP policy or regulation might otherwise restrict or prohibit the project. In effect, it creates a hierarchy: if there is a conflict between Policy VII-12 and another LCP provision, there is an argument that VII-12 should prevail. By removing the phase, the policy becomes a stand-alone policy rather than an express override. It establishes that these projects may be approved if they satisfy the listed criteria, but it does not expressly say that the policy supersedes other LCP provisions.
The second recommended modification means that Footnote 2 does not independently authorize coastal armoring notwithstanding other provisions of the LCP. Instead, the footnote establishes that armoring supporting public paths and coastal accessways can be an allowable use, subject to consistency with the applicable LCP requirements. This change clarifies when armoring is allowable (it meets LCP provisions) and makes clear which provisions apply (II-4, VII-9, and VII-12).
A future application for coastal armoring will require a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). In order to issue a CDP for a project, the review authority is required to make a finding that the application conforms with the Local Coastal Program. The following text is from Capitola Municipal Code section 17.44.130, which lists the findings for approval for a Coastal Development Permit. 148
Item 9 A.
All CDP applications are required to conform with the LCP Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan (Zoning Code). The Coastal Commission’s recommended modifications are therefore consistent with, and largely restate, the existing requirements for approval of a Coastal Development Permit. The second recommended modification provides references to three specific LCP policies but does not establish a more stringent standard than the original language. Rather, it clarifies that the allowance for coastal armoring in Footnote 2 is subject to the applicable LCP provisions and identifies Policies II-4, VII-9, and VII-12 as specific policies that must be considered in evaluating consistency.
A future coastal armoring project would still be evaluated through the CDP process and would be required to demonstrate consistency with all applicable LCP policies and regulations. As a result, the recommended modifications do not prohibit or otherwise preclude future coastal armoring along Cliff Drive; rather, they clarify that such projects must be designed and reviewed in a manner that is consistent with the LCP as a whole.
Next Steps: The amendments are not yet in effect. Under the Coastal Act, when the Coastal Commission suggests modifications to an LCP amendment, the local government must consider the suggested modifications within six months of the Commission's action.
Accordingly, the next step is for the City Council to consider whether to accept the two suggested modifications through a formal resolution.
If the City Council accepts the suggested modifications, the City's LCP Amendments will become effective upon the required notification from the Coastal Commission Executive Director.
If the City Council does not accept the modifications, the City Council can either 1) propose a new amendment to the documents or 2) decide not to pursue modifications and the existing documents will remain unaltered. Staff included a flow chart as Attachment 3 to outline the steps for Coastal Commission certification.
17.44.130 Findings for approval.
A. Conformance with LCP Required. A CDP shall be granted only upon finding that the proposed project is consistent with the LCP. As applicable to the proposed project, the review authority shall consider whether:
1. The project is consistent with the LCP land use plan, and the LCP implementation program.
2. The project maintains or enhances public views.
3. The project maintains or enhances vegetation, natural habitats and natural resources.
4. The project maintains or enhances low-cost public recreational access, including to the beach and ocean.
5. The project maintains or enhances opportunities for visitors.
6. The project maintains or enhances coastal resources.
7. The project, including its design, location, size, and operating characteristics, is consistent with all applicable design plans and/or area plans incorporated into the LCP.
8. The project is consistent with the LCP goal of encouraging appropriate coastal development and land uses, including coastal priority development and land uses (i.e., visitor serving development and public access and recreation).
B. Basis for Decision. The findings shall explain the basis for the conclusions and decisions of the city and shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. (Ord. 1043 § 2 (Att. 2), 2020) 149
Item 9 A.
Fiscal Impact: The City currently has funding for Cliff Drive improvements, including armoring. A coastal development permit will be required for the project. If the City Council approves the suggested amendments, the coastal development permit could be considered prior to the funding expiring.

Item 9 A.
74 VII. NATURAL HAZARDS
BACKGROUND
The hazards policy group of the land use plan concerns the following: seismic shaking, liquefaction, tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and bluff and beach erosion. A brief definition of each type of hazard is given along with a summary of the hazards existing in Capitola’s coastal zone. For a more detailed discussion of each type of hazard and the remainder of the background information below, see Capitola LCP Working Paper #2 (May 1980; available at Commission or City offices).
SEISMIC SHAKING
Seismic shaking is caused by movement of the earth’s crust in fault zones. Active faults are located offshore from Capitola in Monterey Bay and in the Santa Cruz mountains.
While no active faults underlie the City, a high magnitude earthquake along any of the nearby faults would result in intense shaking.
LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction occurs in areas underlain by unconsolidated water-saturated sediments.
During seismic shaking, these areas acquire liquid-like properties which can result in ground failure and buildings sinking, tilting, or toppling. The hazard areas in the coastal zone are the Village, the Soquel Creek mouth and banks, and noble Gulch. A map is attached which shows the areas subject to liquefaction.
TSUNAMIS
Tsunamis or seismic sea waves are large oceanic waves, resulting from submarine volcanic eruptions, seismic events, or landslides. The maximum probable tsunami to hit Capitola’s shoreline is estimated to be 20 feet in height. Portions of the Village and mouth of Soquel Creek could be inundated as indicated on the attached map.
LANDSLIDES
Landslides occur as a result of ground failure in inherently unstable materials, as well as during seismic shaking on steep slopes. Several human-induced factors contribute to slope instability. These activities include removal of vegetation, alteration of slopes by grading and construction, top loading of slopes with structures, and alteration of slope drainage patterns by channeling runoff from impervious surfaces or otherwise blocking natural drainage paths.
There exist in the coastal zone several areas with slopes of 30 percent or greater. These areas are located along Soquel Creek, Noble Gulch, and Escalona Gulch. The Escalona Gulch landsliding potential is compounded by the fact that the area is covered by highly erodible soils.
151
Item 9 A.
75 FLOODING
The lowlands along Soquel Creek, most of the Village, and the lowlands immediately adjacent to Noble Gulch lie within the 100 year floodplain (i.e. all this area is expected to flood at least once every 100 years).Soquel Creek has flooded several times in the past and will probably flood again. Development within the floodplain increases the severity of floods by obstructing waterflow and supplying debris which can accumulate, causing flood waters to back up and rise.
BLUFF AND BEACH EROSION
The beaches and bluffs of most of the California coastline are eroding. In Bluffs in the City of Capitola, the bluffs extend both up and downcoast of the Village, and these areas are eroding at a moderate to fairly high rate (from up to 1.5 to 3 feet per year). Both private and public development is presently threatened by such bluff retreat. The most important public property properties immediately endangered is are along Grand Avenue at Depot Hill and Cliff Drive. Several residential structures are also threatened along those bluffs. Presently the only seawall or protective device to reduce the rate of erosion is the rip-rap placed at the base of the bluff just upcoast of Hooper Beach. Other than armoring nearest the Village, the bluffs along Depot Hill are almost entirely unarmored (as of 2025). The armoring at Cliff Drive is significant, but it is being undercut by ongoing and episodic erosion. Without intervention, the bluff will continue to recede, threatening the Cliff Drive corridor. In terms of beach/shoreline erosion, Capitola Beach has experienced periodic episodes of erosion and lost sand after the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor was completed, apparently including because the harbor and its jetties have interfered with downcoast transport of beach sand. The City had a groin installed in 1970 and In 1970, the Army Corps of Engineers constructed a groin at the downcoast end of the Esplanade, which was accompanied by imported sand to fully recharge the beach.
The groin has helped maintain and restore beach width at Capitola Beach, and was refurbished in 2020 to help extend its life and preserve its efficacy. A concrete seawall at the inland boundary of the separates the beach from protects the parking lot and Village businesses from wave attack unless the waves are large enough to, although large waves/wave events periodically top the wall, resulting in flooding and storm damage in the Village, an event which has occurred in recent past winters. .

Existing marine structures causing water stagnation contributing to pollution problems and fishkills should be phased out or upgraded where feasible.
SEC. 30244
Where development would adversely impact archaeological or paleontological resources as identified by the State Historic Preservation Officer, reasonable mitigation shall be required.
SEC. 30251
The scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. Permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural land forms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas. New development in highly scenic areas such as those designated in the California Coastline Preservation and Recreation Plan prepared by the Department of Parks and Recreation and by local government shall be subordinate to the character of its setting.
SEC. 30270
155
Item 9 A.
79 The commission shall take into account the effects of sea level rise in coastal resources planning and management policies and activities in order to identify, assess, and, to the extent feasible, avoid and mitigate the adverse effects of sea level rise.
EXISTING POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
SEISMIC SHAKING & LIQUEFACTION
The City of Capitola has adopted and enforced the Uniform Building Code which stipulates standard construction methods for areas subject to earthquakes. The Seismic Safety Element of the General Plan has a policy which requires that in areas identified in the General Plan EIR as having high to very high seismic shaking hazard, a geologic study shall be done which delineates adequate structural mitigation measures prior to approval of development plans.
TSUNAMIS
The General Plan states that any development, redevelopment, or major rehabilitation along the beachfront and mouth of Soquel Creek that may be subject to runup shall require a report demonstrating measures of mitigation for potential flooding. The General Plan also requires an adequate setback from bluff edges to reduce the hazard of wave runup. This setback is to be determined in a geologic report which the City is to require for all bluff top developments.
LANDSLIDES
Although the City’s General Plan does not have a specific section on landslides, unstable slopes are treated by the Open Space Element. The Open Space Element prohibits development along riparian areas which are susceptible to landslides.
FLOODING
The General Plan states that no new development should take place within the 100-year flood plain of Soquel Creek unless federal flood plain standards are met. The zoning ordinance includes a flood plain zoning overlay and flood plain regulations which are applied to the 100-year flood plain as designated by FEMA. The flood plain ordinance does not allow new construction or substantial improvement in the designated flood way and requires that such development in the flood plain be elevated above the flood height for residential construction or flood-proofed for commercial development.
BLUFF AND BEACH EROSION
In response to ongoing bluff and beach erosion, multiple armoring structures exist along the Capitola shoreline. However, such armoring structures, while protecting development 156
Item 9 A.
80 inland of them, have a series of adverse coastal resource impacts, including ultimately leading to a loss of beach.
The bluffs and beaches are threatened by storms, erosion, and sea level rise; and adaptation, in light of such coastal hazards, will prove critical in coming years. The City will continue to engage in coastal adaptation planning to address known vulnerabilities of bluff and beach erosion and explore mechanisms to better protect resources and enhance and adapt public and recreational access opportunities and amenities.
The City’s General Plan includes the Coastal Commission’s interim guideline (of 1974) on bluff top development as a policy in the Seismic Safety Element. However, the Coastal Commission has revised its bluff top policy to make it more clear and stringent; this indicates a need for the City to possibly update its policy. The Conservation Element has policies on both beach and bluff erosion. It recommends replacement of sand lost from erosion and stabilization measures for Capitola Beach. The Conservation Element also includes a policy that shoreline protection works can be placed after detailed study of the subject area. Is also ranks the types of permissible shoreline works as follows:
1) Addition of rip-rap at the base of the cliffs;
2) Provision of additional rock groins to encourage permanent expansion of beaches if feasible;
3) Provision of seawalls as a last resort where other methods are not satisfactory.
STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Several agencies have jurisdiction over areas that are involved in the above hazard types.
These are:
• California Coastal Commission – Even after the City’s LCP has been certified and is being implemented, the Coastal Commission retains permit control jurisdiction over tidelands, submerged lands, and public trust lands (pursuant to Coastal Act Section 30519), and performs an oversight role in relation to the City’s delegated jurisdictional responsibilities.
• State Department of Fish and Game Wildlife– Requires a permit for any activity in Soquel Creek and the immediate banks, and reviews any project proposed for ocean waters.
• State Lands Commission – Requires a permit for any project which is a seaward of the Mean High Tide line or which would alter the MHT line, i.e. the State’s boundary.
157
Item 9 A.
81 • State Department of Parks and Recreation – If their property is to be utilized for any project, including as access to another site, the Department’s permission is necessary.
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Requires a permit for any activity which is seaward of the Mean High Tide line or is in any navigable water or wetland. • Regional Water Quality Control Board – Activities affecting California's surface, coastal, or ground waters require a permit from the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.
• Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary – Regulated activities below Mean High Tide Line require a National Marine Sanctuary permit.
Natural Hazards Component Policies
GENERAL POLICIES
Policy VII-1 It shall be the policy of the City of Capitola to adequately plan for natural hazards in new development, reduce risks to life and property, and revise all plans and Zoning Ordinances to be in conformance with all the policies of the Coastal Act relating to hazards and shoreline structures. The City shall further take into account the effects of sea level rise in coastal resources planning and management policies and activities in order to identify, assess, and, to the extent feasible, avoid and mitigate the adverse effects of sea level rise.
Implementation:
a) Requires geologic/engineering reports in areas of high seismic shaking for structures subject to public use or multi-residential as required by the UBC.
b) Revise Zoning Ordinance to require geologic reports for all development proposed on coastal bluffs or beaches, including shoreline structures such as seawalls and including provisions of Policy VII-8.
Policy VII-2 All geologic/engineering reports required by the City pursuant to the policies of this component shall be prepared by a qualified geologist/engineer according to the guidelines for practice issued by the California Division of Mines and Geology Geological Survey and shall be based on the best available, professionally accepted science and scientific guidance., specifically CDMG notes Numbers 37 (Guidelines to Geologic/Seismic Reports), 43 (Recommended Guidelines for Determining the Maximum Probably Earthquakes), 44 (Recommended 158
Item 9 A.
82 Guidelines for Preparing Engineering Geologic Reports) and interpretive Coastal Commission for Bluff Top Development.
Bluff and hillside stability evaluations shall consider a range of coastal hazards—including erosion rates, wave climate, storm surge, and sea-level rise—over a 50-year planning horizon. Proposed development shall incorporate mitigation measures designed to perform for a minimum of 50 years post-occupancy. Site-specific analysis must be prepared and sealed by a California-licensed Geotechnical Engineer (GE) or Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG) and accepted by the City of Capitola.
Implementation:
Incorporate policy requirements for all development proposals subject to Policy VII-2.
SPECIFIC POLICIES
Seismic Safety Policies
Policy VII-3 The City shall require all new building plans, for public use structures or multi-residential (more than three units), to conform with the Uniform Building Code construction standards.
Implementation:
Requires geologic/engineering reports in areas or high seismic shaking for structures subject to public use or multi-residential as required by the UBC.
Tsunamis
Policy VII-4 Measures to mitigate possible flooding shall be submitted for all new structures that will be occupied by the public located in areas as shown on Map VII-3.
Implementation:
Develop regulations limiting development in coastal flood hazard areas as designated by FEMA.
Landslides
Policy VII-5 A geologic/engineering report which indicated methods of achieving structural stability and mitigation measures to prevent erosion shall be submitted for any structure which is to be constructed on a slope in excess of 30 percent.
159
Item 9 A.
83 Implementation:
Revise Zoning Ordinance to require geologic/engineering report for structures to be built on slopes in excess of 30 percent.
Flooding
Policy VII-6 It shall be the policy of the City to adopt a local flood plain ordinance consistent with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for designated 100-year riverine flood plains Implementation:
Adopt riverine flood plain ordinance.
Beach and Bluff Erosion
Objective: Protect and enhance bluff, shoreline, offshore, and sandy beach recreational areas for public use and enjoyment while ensuring all development (including private structures and public infrastructure) is protected, as much as possible, from both current and future coastal hazards. Ensure that otherwise allowable development is sited, designed, and conditioned to minimize risks to life and property, to avoid being subject to coastal hazards, and where development cannot entirely avoid coastal hazards, to appropriately mitigate for adverse impacts to coastal resources, including to bluff, shoreline, offshore, and sandy beach recreational areas.
Policy VII-7 Bluff and cliff top development shall be approved only if design and setback provisions are adequate to assure stability and structural integrity for the expected economic lifespan of the development (at least 50 years) and if the development (including storm runoff, foot traffic, grading, and irrigation) will neither create nor contribute significantly to erosion problems or geologic instability of the site or surrounding area. This policy shall be carried out by requiring geologic reports as per Policy VII8.
Implementation:
Revise Zoning Ordinance to require geologic reports for all development proposed on coastal bluffs or beaches, including shoreline structures such as seawalls and with specific emphasis on provisions outlined in Policy VII-7.
Policy VII-8 A geologic/engineering report shall be submitted for any bluff top or cliff development proposed within 200 feet of the cliff edge. 160
Item 9 A.
84 The City may designate a lesser area of demonstration in specific areas of known geologic stability (as determined by adequate geologic evaluation and historic evidence) or where adequate protective works already exist.
The City may designate a greater area of demonstration or exclude development entirely in areas of known high instability.
The technical geology report shall be prepared by a registered geologist or professional civil engineer qualified professional with expertise in shoreline processes soils or foundation engineering or by a certified engineering geologist. The report shall consider and analyze any information required by Policy VII-2.
Implementation:
a) Revise Zoning ordinance to require geologic reports for all development proposed on coastal bluffs or beaches, including shoreline structures, such as seawalls and including provisions of Policy VII-8.
a) Develop maps for public information showing areas and parcels requiring the submittal of geologic reports.
Policy VII-9 Shoreline structures, such as including but not limited to seawalls, revetments, groins, and breakwaters, shall be permitted only to serve coastal dependent uses, to protect existing development structures (other than accessory structures), or to protect public beaches in danger of erosion; shall only be permitted only if nonstructural solutions (such as artificial beach nourishment and relocating structures) and any other less environmentally damaging alternatives (such as nature-based adaptation measures) have proved to be infeasible; shall only be permitted if determined to be the least environmentally damaging feasible alternative to protect the endangered structure/beach/use; and, shall only be permitted if all coastal resource impacts are avoided as much as possible, and where all unavoidable impacts are commensurately mitigated. Such structures shall be designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply, public access, visual resources, marine habitats, and paleontological resources, and other coastal resources. It is further the policy of the City of Capitola that no permanent channelization of the mouth of Soquel Creek shall be permitted. The seasonal movement of sand to form the lagoon, maintenance dredging and infill of bulkheads shall not be considered permanent channelization.
Implementation:
161
Item 9 A.
85 Incorporate policy direction in Planning Commission and Architectural and Site Review for projects involving shoreline structures.
Policy VII-10 The City should continue to participate with the State Department of Boating and waterways in studying the bluff erosion problem and possible solutions. The City should participate in any proposed shoreline project only if the project is in conformance with other LCP policies.
Implementation:
a) Present results of bluff erosion study by the Department of Boating and Waterways to the public for review. Pursue funding for proposed measures, if any, if they appear feasible.
b) Develop an ordinance to require notification of potential erosion hazards to any new owner, upon sale of properties along Coastal bluffs within Capitola.
Policy VII-11 The City shall construct future drainage projects and improve existing drainage facilities where feasible so that runoff is filtered and treated, and directed away from the coastal bluffs, or if it cannot be (except that where such measures are infeasible it shall be discharged in a place and manner so as not to contribute to erosion of a bluff or beach.) As a condition of approval f For any coastal adaptation strategies along Cliff Drive, require the removal of any non-native and invasive plans and replacement with native bluff plants and explore the feasibility of directing drainage to inland drainage systems. Ensure that drainage in coastal hazard areas does not contribute to coastal bluff or other shoreline and erosion, and camouflage all drainage elements to minimize impact to visual resources.
Implementation:
Cooperate with AMBAG in the development of erosion control regulations for all new development as required by the regional Water Quality Control Board with specific emphasis on reducing erosion impacts on coastal bluffs and beaches.
Policy VII-12 Notwithstanding other LCP provisions, rResiliency and adaptation projects may be approved along Cliff Drive provided they use the best available science to address and mitigate impacts from sea level rise and climate change related phenomena, enhance public recreational access, and protect/enhance ESHA/paleontological resources.
162
Item 9 A.
86 Capitola Village
Policy VII-13 Capitola Village is critically important for the City, not only for its residents, but also its visitor-focused economy and its significant public recreational access offerings. Due to its low-lying nature, the Village and its fronting beach are threatened by storms, erosion, and sea level rise.
Adaptation in light of such coastal hazards will prove critical in coming years. The City is pursuing funding to embark on coastal adaptation planning to address known vulnerabilities of the Village and Capitola Beach and explore mechanisms to better protect Village resources and enhance and adapt public and recreational access opportunities and amenities.
163
Item 9 A.
87 MAP NOTES
The LCP Land Use Plan Map has been prepared by using the same format as the City of Capitola General Plan Map, in order to make it easier to use. The land use designations in the General Plan are carried over into the Land Use Plan where they are consistent with the Coastal Act of 1976. The maps included in the text should be considered as part of the Land Use Plan Map and provide further interpretation of the Land Use Plan policies. The full-size versions of these reduced maps will be available for review in the City offices.
Also, as in a General Plan Map, this Land Use Plan Map is not meant to be a parcel-byparcel description of appropriate land uses. Rather, the Map should be uses in conjunction with the Policies to guide development of individual parcels. Other map notes follow.
1) The Map shows land use designations only for those areas that are both in the Coastal Zone and the City limits.
2) The Coastal Zone boundary line is approximate. Official boundary maps are available in the Coastal Commission and the City of Capitola offices. 3) As under the current Capitola General Plan, in some cases, the designated land use is not representative of the existing land use. The designated use should direct future permits and planning.
4) The location of coastal bluffs that are shown are only approximate. Policies of the Natural Hazards Component should guide land use involving bluffs. 5) In areas designated residential, public facilities (e.g. fire station, parks, schools) are permitted uses.
6) The V-5 symbol on the map denotes that a site is designated for a visitor-serving use.
Visitor-serving uses are defined in the Recreation and Visitor-Serving Component. 7) The Mixed Commercial-Residential land use indicates that combined commercial and residential uses are appropriate on a single site. This land use designation is defined in the Housing Component.
8) The map has 6 high-density residential uses designated. Two of these sites have been identified in the Housing Component Policies as suitable for low and moderate income housing projects.
9) The Village Center area is outlined. Design and Development Guidelines for the Village are included in the Visual Resources and Special Communities Component.
Land areas in the Village are designated for Residential or Mixed CommercialResidential, Visitor-Serving and Public Facilities compatible with land use patterns. 164

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: October 8, 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.
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 future housing.
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.
On May 28, 2026, the City Council received a presentation from staff on the draft Corridor Plan and directed staff to seek additional public input on the draft with an emphasis to reaching out to property owners and businesses along the corridor. Following the meeting, staff created a survey highlighting the recommendations in the corridor plan. Notice of survey was circulated through postcards mailed to all property owners and tenants, hand delivered notices with QR codes for the survey to all businesses along the corridor, and posts on social media and in the City’s newsletter. 807 responses were received 180
Item 9 B.
(Attachment 2). Survey highlights and updates to the corridor plan are included in the following discussion section. One major change in the draft document was the removal of the Clares Street nearterm concept from the main document. That concept was moved into the Plan appendix, should the City want to revisit the concept in the future.
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 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.
The Corridor Plan’s recommended improvements assume future redevelopment of the Capitola Mall and 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.
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.
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.
The May 7, 2026, 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 Study survey was open for the month of August and had 807 participants. Although a great effort was put forth for business and property owner participation, there continued to be an underwhelming involvement by these groups. However, when staff separated the survey findings between the different categories of participants (residents, visitors, property owners, and businesses), the results were consistent across participant categories on most items, except landscaping preference by business owners. The major takeaways from the survey were as follows:
• Participants: 40% residents, 28% visitors, 4% property owners, and 1.5% business owners. • Majority preferred landscape combo of the “Mountains + Bluffs” and “Gateway to the Shore”. 181
Item 9 B.
• 64% business owners preferred “Gateway to the Shore”; however, only 11 business owners provided feedback on this item.
• 85% support additional street furniture.
• Comment regarding Clares Street focused on traffic congestion, traffic flow, bicycle infrastructure, and safety.
• 67% of business owners and 60% of Capitola residents expressed negative sentiment about removing a vehicle lane on Clares Street in the near-term plan, compared to 46% of visitors. • Traffic and pedestrian safety was the most common theme in final open-ended responses, followed by project coordination/scheduling and access to 41st Avenue.
In response to the survey results, the following modifications were made to the Draft Corridor Plan.
Section of
Roadway
Description Page
1 41st Ave Zone 1 Close the south bound curb opening across from 2121 41st Avenue and extend the center median. Police identified area as prone to accidents.
29 2 41st Ave Zone 3 Keep southbound left-turn lane at 1440 41st Avenue open. 37 3 41st Ave Zone 3 Remove emergency vehicle access across from Alameda and extend the center median. Ambulances are no longer stationed on Alemeda.
37 4 Clares Street Maintain two vehicle lanes in each direction and move Clares Street Lane reduction study to Appendix.
44-59
5 Clares Street Note added to indicate the two mid-block crossings on Clares Street could be implemented ahead of redevelopment.
57 6 Clares Street Note added for future zoning amendments to be considered to require all redevelopment along Clares Street (both sides of street) to dedicate frontage toward pedestrian and bike improvements at time of redevelopment.
46 7 Entire Corridor Updated furniture recommendations based on survey results. 87 8 Signs New signs to help identify the corridor. The 41st Avenue Sign is based on the current City logo with a bluff replacing the Wharf, as are the conditions at the end of the street. The update also include safe route signs for bicycles which could be installed in the suggested safe routes identified in the plan.
76 The summary of the changes with images are included as Attachment 4.
Potential Future AB 1600 Impact Fee: The 41st Avenue Corridor Plan also provides a potential foundation for consideration of a future AB 1600 development impact fee program. The Corridor Plan identifies transportation, streetscape, multimodal, and other capital improvements that could help accommodate future development and growth along the corridor. In 2027, staff anticipates bringing forward a broader discussion of economic development strategies and potential funding mechanisms, at which time the City Council could consider whether a development impact fee is an appropriate tool for funding a portion of identified capital improvements. Any future impact fee would require a nexus study demonstrating the required relationship between new development, the identified improvements, and the amount of the fee, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act.
182
Item 9 B.
Relationship to Active Transportation Plan: The City's Active Transportation Plan (ATP), which began in summer 2026 and is anticipated to be completed in early 2028. The ATP is intended to provide a citywide framework for walking, bicycling, and other active transportation improvements; however, 41st Avenue and Bay Avenue are specifically outside the primary focus of the ATP because corridor planning efforts for both corridors were already underway when the ATP began. The 41st Avenue Corridor Plan therefore serves as the more detailed planning document for the corridor, while the ATP can help establish broader citywide connections and priorities. The two planning efforts can be coordinated as appropriate, and the 41st Avenue Corridor Plan can be amended in the future if recommendations from the ATP or other transportation planning efforts identify a need for additional changes. Caltrans guidance similarly recognizes that corridor plans are intended to be revisited and updated as conditions, priorities, and broader planning initiatives evolve.
Gateway Opportunity: The 41st Avenue Corridor Plan also identifies an opportunity to establish a new gateway opportunity at the corner of 41st Avenue and Gross Road Extension, in front of Pizza My Heart site. The site was prepared during the recent 41st Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation and Multimodal Improvements with curb and gutter; however, funding for a gateway project is not currently available. In the interim, City staff will plant cape rush or twig rush grasses and cover the area with mulch to create a finished appearance. The two grasses are identified in the Corridor Plan as part of the Mountains and Bluffs understory planting palette. The City Council could then consider allocating funding as part of the FY 2027/28 budget process to design and construct a gateway project and associated 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.

Item 9 B.
Clares Street
The Draft Corridor Plan proposes:
1. Replacing the outer vehicle lane in each
direction of the curved portion of Clares Street
with protected bike lanes between two new
midblock crossings. Traffic analysis indicates
the lane reduction can accommodate current
vehicle flows.
2. Existing shopping center entrances and
medians would remain, with two new midblock
pedestrian crossings added.
3. The straight segments near the Ross Center
and between the Mall Food Court and Capitola
Road would remain two lanes to accommodate
intersection queuing.
