Reasons why you believe you should be appointed
I would welcome an opportunity to serve on the Library Advisory Commission, especially at this dynamic time in the history of our library. The library is beloved in our community and is poised for timely and innovative community-centered development such as the career online high school program and possible coordination with a proposed Senior Center for Carpinteria. Librarianship fosters ideals including access to all, continuing education, social justice and intellectual freedom. I have worked in my career as a librarian, clinician and educator and in my volunteer work to support these ideals.

Most importantly I would like to use my skills to support our library and contribute to the community. I am grateful for all the ways I have benefitted from living here including the Community Garden, Community Pool, library, bike and hiking trails, Surf Camp for my grandchildren, and the Salt Marsh in my neighborhood.

I can offer experience in a broad array of tasks that may be useful in providing suggestions and recommendations to the Library Director and her staff. These include:

are searching for a novel. Different perspectives, garnered from outside one experience, are not only beneficial to a dynamic and enterprising commission, they are required. My age allows me to connect with our younger community members and give them a voice in an institution that works to support their own education and literacy. Libraries provide everyone with access to knowledge and experiences; I hope to.collaborate and build upon the existing programs to further support young minds and voices. Having someone that children and young adults relate to drastically increases participation, while simultaneously encouraging them to seek leadership in the community and pioneer their own education. At Cate School, I've maintained a 4.0 GPA and am confident in my ability to work productively and proactively with the Board and Head Librarian. Should I join this commission, I know that I can develop reciprocal relationships with the other members by absorbing their knowledge and, in return, sharing my own. My position as a student librarian at Cate and the connections that follow, provide me with expansive knowledge of the inner workings of a library and the nuances of management. I cannot wait to see how Carpinteria grows in the coming years, and I hope to support that growth through my membership in this commission.

Application for Carpinteria Community Library Advisory Commission I would like to serve on the Carpinteria Community Library Advisory Commission because I am interested in the future of Carpinteria. I was born and raised here and have enjoyed a wonderful life in this awesome city!
I worked at the Carpinteria Library under Grace Moyer for a short time as a clerk before moving on to the Santa Barbara Public Library and then becoming a teacher. Next to teaching, this was my favorite job! Not only did I have access to new books, I was able to socialize with Carpinterians of all ages and backgrounds.

It would be an honor to serve on this commission and offer what skills I have to complete the goals of the commission and be an asset to the community.

Dear City of Carpinteria Council,
My name is Viviana Morales and I first learned about the Library Advisory Committee position through reading the Coastal View News article. As a young professional, l have been actively seeking opportunities that allow me to serve my local community, Therefore, I am excited to submit my application for the Library Advisory Committee position. I am confident that my qualifications for this position merit your consideration.

I am a product of the public education system and while l take pride in being a Latina college graduate, I recognize that I did not get there alone. My parents, the school district, and my Carpinteria community were there along the way to support students like me that had aspirations of attending college.

Growing up, I did not have a computer at home let alone access to the internet. However, knowing that I had to complete school assignments on the computer I could always count on the library as a resource in town. From being one of the first in the library and staying until closing time during college application season, the Carpinteria Library became a second home. During the summers, I often would take SBCC Summer courses which would require video assignments, typed papers, etc. and I came to rely on Carpinteria Library staff provide support with my technology issues and affordable printing needs. I am one of the many Carpinteria students who benefited from accessible library hours and resources which paved the way for me to attend UC Berkeley as a first generation college student.

My interest of serving on the Library Advisory Committee stems from my desire to give back to my community and help serve the next generation of students, families, and community members that will continue to benefit from the library services for years to come. Whitt: I am still a young professional learning what it takes to be a leader in the community, I continuously look for opportunities that will both help me grow as a person all while giving back to a community that gave so much to me. I aspire to continue to collaborate and learn from community leaders on ways we can make our community/library that much more equitable and inclusive for all.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you at your convenience to discuss the possibility of being a part of the City of Carpinteria Library Advisory Committee , Thank you for your time and consideration
Sincerely, 1£-1-L

Hello!
I believe a library is place to build community, connect with one another, create joy and inspiration, care for our neighbors, and of course, find books and resources! Growing up in Carpinteria, my favorite thing to do after going to the beach, was to visit the library. I have fond memories of fiddling through stacks of books looking for summer reading that would inspire my imagination and inform me of far-off lands. As an adult, I still love to visit the library - sometimes for something specific and other times to wander around until a treasure of an unknown book finds me. I've also developed a deep appreciation of libraries as glowing beacons of hope for our democracy - a place where people from all walks of life can gather and many voices can be heard. In addition to libraries as joyful, inspiring and adventurous places, I've seen first-hand how libraries can be safe havens and provide critical resources for people during difficult times as they did for my own father when he fell on hard times.

I would be honored to serve Carpinteria on the Library's Advisory Commission. In addition to my own interests and passions for all things books, I have degrees in Comparative Literature and Psychology. I worked for nearly decade at a local middle school and was a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators for many years. In my many roles at Santa Barbara Middle School, I served as liaison between school administrators, teachers, librarians and the board of trustees, and am well versed in the process of working on committees. I continue to serve children and families as a psychotherapist and will bring my background and experience from the mental health field as well. It is an exciting time for the possibilities of technology, and this is another area where I can support the library, from social media to internet resources.

My professional experiences provide deep insight into the needs of children and their families.

This is a demographic and user group I will be able to help serve at the library. Though I myself am not LGBTQIA or a POC, these are communities that are near and dear to my heart. At SBMS, I was involved in the founding of the Rainbow Club to support LGBTQIA students and allies, as well as a founding member of the Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity committee. Social and Environmental Justice have been passions of mine since my parents took me to my first Save the Bluffs rally when I was in third grade. I seek meaningfully opportunities to continue these passions and would be honored to serve the Carpinteria community via the library.

Growing up with privilege, we have a responsibility to take the time and effort to listen to and amplify voices of the under-resourced. I take this responsibility seriously and joyfully and would love to carry it further at the Carpinteria Library.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I look forward to discussing the possibilities.

With gratitude,

Rev. 06/15/22
It would be a pleasure to serve on the new Carpinteria Library Advisory Commission and to give back the enrichment that libraries have given me. From my local Encino branch where I borrowed Nancy Drew mysteries, to the downtown Los Angeles library that I haunted through high school, to the USC libraries in which I hunkered down as a college student, and the UCLA Special Collections and New York Public Library in which I researched for my Ph.D. in English Lit., libraries provided the stimulation and adventure that my curiosity, otherwise, would have sought in more destructive ways.

Public libraries create and serve the needs of an entire diverse community, and to do so they need to stay current with topical offerings and acquisitions for their particular population, as well as providing access to scholarly holdings. Given my background, I could assist in achieving those goals.

I created new curriculum when I taught in the English departments of UCLA and Indiana University, and, later for ten years, in the Masters of Professional Writing department at USC. I wrote three books never-out-of-print, each of which took me on a different kind of book tour. I have lectured at many libraries about my specialty, autobiographic writing, including for the Smithsonian. Through these opportunities I have become familiar with the process by which libraries lure authors and speakers. Today libraries are no longer just about books, though, and neither is my experience. I produced four movies-for-television for ABC, NBC and CBS, giving me the patience to take projects from conception to distribution and the collegiality to work collaboratively and creatively with others.

This year I retired to beautiful Carpinteria, and I wish to be of service. Given my lifelong enthusiasm for public libraries, I'm throwing in my hat to become a member of the Library Advisory Commission.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Monthly City Treasurer's Report on Compliance with Statement of Safekeeping and Investment of Public Funds.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council is the City of Carpinteria trustees and authorized to make investment decisions concerning public funds that are subject to the prudent investment standard.

The Prudent Investor Standard of the California Government Code Section 53600.3 states, "when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City." The standard or prudence to be used by investment officials shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.

Trustees are those persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of a local agency. Trustees or City Investment officials, acting in accordance with investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk changes or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to provide the City Council with the required monthly Treasurer's Report.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The City is in compliance with the adopted Statement of Safekeeping and Investment of Public Funds.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Cash Statement: At May 31, 2022, the City held cash and cash investments as shown in the table below.

Table I
CASH ACTIVITY FOR THE MONTH:

Cash and Investment Beginning of the Month
\
Cash Receipts
Cash Disbursements
Cash and Investment End of the Month
$ 19,035,129.09
4,991,998.41
(4,130,438.56)
$ 19,896,688.94
Investments:

Changes in the market value of treasury securities are inversely proportional to changes in interest rates demanded in the open market, i.e., when rates rise market values fall, when rates fall market values rise. The sensitivity of a portfolio's market value to these changes in market rates is a function of its days to maturity and its coupon rate.

Securities with longer maturities and/or lower coupon rates are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates. As a security matures, changes in its value become less sensitive to market rate changes.

At May 31
st the portfolio's average days to maturity was 2.00 years, the average coupon rate was 1.55%, the average yield to maturity was 2.32%, the par value was $9,513,000 and Market Value was $9,265,726.89.

The City does not intend to sell nor does it have any foreseeable need to sell any securities. The intention of the City's investment policy is to hold all securities to maturity; and securities so held are redeemed at par value resulting in no net market gain or loss.

Attached for City Council review is the Treasurer's Report that details a listing of all the investments and cash activity during the month.

The City of Carpinteria will be able to meet all expenditure obligations that might reasonably be anticipated for the next six-month period December 1, 2022.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 25, 2022

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adoption of Resolution No. 6149, Authorizing Continued Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6149, authorizing continued remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions for a period of 30 days.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6149, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 through June 2021, the City Council and subordinate boards, committees, and commissions held their respective meetings solely by remote teleconference (i.e. Zoom webinar/meeting) under the Governor's Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-08-21. Since July 2021, hybrid meetings have been held, where the public may participate in person or virtually.

On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361 ), which allows public agencies to continue using teleconferencing without complying with certain Brown Act provisions. The Brown Act ordinarily requires, among other things, that public officials attending a meeting virtually to post the agenda in the location they are participating from; allow members of the public to attend the meeting from that space; identify in the notice and agenda for the meeting each teleconference location; and at least a quorum of the legislative body must participate from locations within the City.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider making certain findings necessary in order to authorize continued teleconferenced meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.

AB 361 Findings - Remote Teleconference Meetings
July 25, 2022

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION
Under AB 361, the City may employ teleconferencing as long as there is a gubernatorial "proclaimed state of emergency," and either (1) state or local officials imposing or recommending measures that promote social distancing or (2) the legislative body finding that meeting in person would present an imminent safety risk to attendees.

In addition, every 30 days, the City Council must make the following findings by majority vote in order to continue the teleconferencing option: (1) the agency has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and (2) it either continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

With the case positivity rate rising during the past month, staff recommends the Council reconsider the safety and procedural issues involved in holding teleconferenced meetings pursuant to AB 361 and adopt Resolution 6149 authorizing virtual or hybrid attendance of meetings through August 25, 2022.

As of July 7, 2022, the community risk level in the county is ranked as "medium," as defined by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. The total number of new weekly reported cases per 100,000 people in the county on July 7, 2022 is 315.79, compared to 200.7 on June 22, 2022. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department recommends utilizing teleconferencing options for public meetings as an effective social distancing measure to facilitate participation in public affairs and encourages participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease.

AB 361, which amended Government Code Section 54953, will sunset on January 1, 2024. This is subject to change if the Legislature and Governor elect to extend the sunset date or make the provisions permanent.

The City Council adopted Resolution No. 6142 on June 27, 2022, finding the requisite conditions exist for the council and subordinate boards, committees and commissions to conduct teleconferenced meetings under California Government Code Section 54953(e).

City staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to authorize the continued use of remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Review of this matter and direction to staff would align with the City's strategic goal of good governance.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City has established a business Zoom account for the use of remote teleconferencing of public meetings and the cost is already included in the current fiscal year budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Failing to adopt Resolution No. 6149 would require meetings to continue to be held fully in person under traditional Brown Act parameters; adopting the resolution would give the City flexibility as it moves forward with meetings over the next 30 days.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6149, authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.

2. Decline to adopt Resolution No. 6149 and switch to fully in-person meetings under traditional Brown Act rules.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

HEALTH OFFICIALS AB 361 SOCIAL DISTANCE RECOMMENDATION
Issued: September 28, 2021
COVID-19 disease prevention measures, endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include vaccinations, facial coverings, increased indoor ventilation, handwashing, and physical distancing (particularly indoors).

Since March 2020, local legislative bodies-such as commissions, committees, boards, and councils- have successfully held public meetings with teleconferencing as authorized by Executive Orders issued by the Governor. Using technology to allow for virtual participation in public meetings is a social distancing measure that may help control transmission of the SARSCo V-2 virus. Public meetings bring together many individuals (both vaccinated and potentially unvaccinated), from multiple households, in a single indoor space for an extended time. For those at increased risk for infection, or subject to an isolation or quarantine order, teleconferencing allows for full participation in public meetings, while protecting themselves and others from the COVID-19 virus.

Utilizing teleconferencing options for public meetings is an effective and recommended social distancing measure to facilitate participation in public affairs and encourage participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease. This recommendation is further intended to satisfy the requirement of the Brown Act (specifically Gov't Code Section 54953( e )(1 )(A)), which allows local legislative bodies in the County of Santa Barbara to use certain available teleconferencing options set forth in the Brown Act.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 25, 2022

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Annual Review of Fire Protection Mitigation Fee Program and Approval of an Adjustment in the Fee Amount.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and Adopt Resolution No. 6150, Updating the Fire Protection Mitigation Fee Schedule for Development, and Approving and Accepting the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District's Annual Report.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6150, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
In 1990 the State Legislature passed into law the Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) that established California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq. The City of Carpinteria and the County of Santa Barbara adopted ordinances imposing Fire Protection Fees on any new development within the City and County respectively. The mitigation fees are collected by the City and County for the benefit of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District (District). The City ordinance is codified in Chapter 8.26 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. The County ordinance is codified in Chapter 15, Article IIIA of County Code. Each year the City and County are required to receive and review an Annual Report provided by the District. The Annual Review includes a District Development Impact Fee (DIF) fund description, DIF Fee Schedule, a Master Facilities Plan and the current fee ledger. By adopting the attached Resolution, the City and County may adjust the Fee Schedule on behalf of the District.

On July 26, 2021, the City Council approved and adopted Resolution No. 6065, adopting the Fire Protection Mitigation Fee Schedule for Development and approving the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District's Annual Report. The adoption of the resolution served as the required Annual Review of the District's DIF Program.

Development of land within the District continues to occur and creates an inherent demand for fire protection service from the District. On June 1, 2022, the City of Carpinteria requested from the District the attached Annual Report, updated Master Facilities Plan and DIF schedule. The District approved the Annual Report and updated (increased) the fire Annual Review of Fire DIF

protection mitigation fees at its board meeting on July 6, 2022. This report serves as the Annual Report for the Fire DIF Program and the adoption by the City Council of Resolution No. 6150, will also approve adjustments/increases in the fees.

DISCUSSION
Fire Protection Mitigation Fees, or Fire DIFs, have been established through Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 8.26 to assist the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District (District) in responding to increased service demands caused by continued land development. The District secured the services of Revenue and Cost Specialists, LLC to assist in the production of a report entitled, "Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and Master Facilities Plan for the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, Update - August 10, 2016." The report serves as an updated Master Facilities Plan, nexus study, and proposed fee schedule.

Table 1 below shows the current Fee Schedule adopted by the City Council on July 26, 2021 and the proposed Fee Schedule with adjustments supported by the attached Annual Report provided by the District. The fire protection mitigation fees are adjusted on July 1 st
of each fiscal year by a percentage equal to the Construction Cost Index as published by "Engineering News Record" for the preceding twelve months as required by Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 8.26.040.

Annual Review of Fire Protection Mitigation Fees
Summary
AB 1600, passed into law in 1989, allows for government agencies to impose Development Impact Fees (DIF).

The law was codified in Government Code section 66000 et seq., also referred to as the Mitigation Fee Act.

Development Impact Fees or Mitigation Fees are intended to assist local fire agencies in delivering the increasing service demand caused by additional development. In 2003, the City of Carpinteria and the County of Santa Barbara adopted ordinances imposing fire protection mitigation fees on any new development within the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. The City's ordinance is codified in Chapter 8.26 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. The County ordinance is codified in Chapter 15, Article IIIA, of the County Code.

AB 1600 requires that projects to be financed with DIF must be identified in a Master Facilities Plan.

Periodic review and adjustment to the DIF ensures that the District collects sufficient funds to construct and purchase additional facilities and equipment to serve new residential and commercial development.

Discussion
Government Code Section 66002 requires that an annual report be prepared that reviews the District's Master Facilities Plan and the estimated costs for constructing public facilities. The estimated costs for construction are adjusted each year by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index, which was 8.0 % for FY 2021-2022. In accordance with Carpinteria Municipal Code 8.26.040 and Santa Barbara County Code 15-67 the fees are automatically adjusted.

During FY 2021-2022, fund revenue was $69,319.02 due to various new estate and ocean front developments; interest generated was $2,080.14. Total expenditures during this period were $12,771.84. The ending fund balance was $469,466.71.

Conclusion
Approve the 2022 Annual Review of the Fire Protection Mitigation Fees and direct the Fire Chief to forward the report to the Santa Barbara County and Carpinteria City as required by County Code Section 15-67 (a) and Municipal Code Section 8.26.040.

Financial Impact
The proposed fees account for an 8.0% increase of 2021 amounts.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 25, 2022

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Consideration of extending Ordinance No. 755, a temporary moratorium on the issuance of certificates of occupancy and/or business licenses or any other entitlement for the establishment of formula businesses within the City of Carpinteria, with the exception of Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place Shops.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and adopt Ordinance No. 757 (Attachment A), extending a temporary moratorium on the issuance of certificates of occupancy and/or business licenses or any other entitlement for the establishment of formula businesses within the City of Carpinteria, with the exception of Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place Shops.

Sample Motion: I move to approve and adopt Ordinance No. 757, as read by title only, to go into effect immediately.

This motion requires, at minimum, a 415
th vote for approval by the legislative body to
pass.

BACKGROUND
At its meeting of February 14, 2022, the Carpinteria City Council ("City Council") requested that staff prepare a report on how cities regulate chain stores and restaurants, also known as "formula businesses," that have standardized services, decor, methods of operation, and other features that make them virtually identical to businesses elsewhere.

Formula Business Temporary Moratorium Extension
July 25, 2022

Page 2 ends

During its meeting on May 9, 2022, the City Council received information that a proliferation of formula businesses can have deleterious impacts on a community's health, safety, and welfare.
1 For example:

Cities have found it common for formula businesses to arrive in an area en masse, squeezing out independent businesses and causing a speculative run-up in rents that results in the wholesale transformation of a business district almost overnight.2 The loss of independently owned/operated stores can also have long-term economic consequences for communities. One study of independent business in San Francisco found that an increase of 10% in independent businesses' market share would yield an increase of nearly $200 million in economic activity and nearly 1,300 new jobs, while a 10% decrease in market share would cause declines in economic activity and jobs by the same amount.3 In addition to causing downtown or neighborhood business districts to lose their distinctive appeal, formula businesses often drive up rents where they locate.

Higher rents can have the effect of pushing out independent entrepreneurs and low-margin/service businesses that meet the basic needs of surrounding neighborhoods (such as grocers and beauty/barber shops). 4 Local economies dominated by formula businesses also tend to be solely profit based and uninterested in meeting community needs over time, as opposed to a business model that fills a local niche and/or is complementary to existing businesses in similar categories.
5 Perhaps of greatest concern, formula
businesses often invest locally generated profits outside of the community, and disappear quickly when the economy contracts or their corporate strategy shifts, leaving behind building vacancies with higher rent expectations. 6 After receiving the staff report, the City Council heard from staff and a member of the public regarding the impacts that the proliferation of formula businesses could have on the City of Carpinteria's ("City") commercial areas and directed staff to return with an urgency ordinance to establish a temporary moratorium on the establishment of formula businesses throughout the City while City staff and the City Council study and consider 1 See https://carpinteria.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view id=2&clip id=1028&meta id=69910.

permanent regulations on formula businesses. The staff report for this meeting can be accessed on the City's website and is hereby incorporated by reference. 7 As directed by the City Council, staff returned to the next meeting on May 23 rd with
options for a temporary moratorium on the establishment of any new formula businesses. The staff report and draft moratorium were crafted in a manner to offer the City Council a menu of options to choose from related to the geographic scope of the moratorium, the types of formula businesses to be regulated, how to define formula businesses, and considerations for whether to allow for any exceptions for the replacement and/or relocation of existing formula businesses. Because only three Councilmembers were present during this item (which requires a four-fifth (4/5) vote for approval), the City Council could not take action on the item and continued its consideration to a date when four of the Councilmembers could be present. The staff report for this meeting is available online and is hereby incorporated by reference. 8 On June 27, 2022, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 755 (Attachment B), an urgency ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the establishment of formula businesses in the City of Carpinteria, as modified by the City Council. At this meeting, the City Council considered additional public testimony and examples of language from other municipalities' formula business regulations (e.g., geographic scope, types of businesses to be regulated, definition of formula business, and exceptions) before adopting the moratorium. The Council cited, among other reasons, the City's character as a classic California beach town; with the City's desire to foster businesses that serve both the needs of City residents and visitors and thereby ensure the community's quality of life; the resiliency of the City's vibrant, small-scale, diversified commercial character; and the City's ongoing economic vitality all require that the City maintain and encourage establishment of diverse business types and sizes, including smaller and mid-sized businesses
Following the Council's discussion, the Council voted to apply a temporary moratorium citywide, with the exception of the Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place Shops. The temporary moratorium applies to any commercial business operating as a retail sales, restaurant/food service, and/or hotel or motel establishment, and which (a) has more than seven (7) locations anywhere in the United States of America; and (b) has two or more of the following features common to all or substantially all of its locations:
standardized array of services or products for sale, facade, architecture, decor or color scheme, uniform or other employee apparel, signage, or trademark/servicemark.

The Council also determined that the following business types, in the context of the moratorium, not be treated as formula businesses: office space, professional services, banks or credit unions, grocery stores, nonprofit businesses, pharmacies, gas stations, or theaters/performing arts spaces. The temporary moratorium does not prohibit the 7 See https://carpinteria.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view id=2&clip id=1028&meta id=69910 8 See https://carpinteria.granicus.com/

relocation of an existing formula business in operation at a location within the City of Carpinteria upon the effective date of this Ordinance to another location within the City.

The staff report for the June 27, 2022 meeting is available online and is hereby incorporated by reference.
9 The temporary moratorium took effect on June 27, 2022 and remains in effect for an initial period of 45 days, subject to a maximum of two extensions by the City Council, which may extend the temporary moratorium for a period not to exceed two years from the date of the initial adoption of the Ordinance.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the City Council an opportunity to consider extending the temporary moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days.

Unless extended, Ordinance No. 755 expires on August 11, 2022.

DISCUSSION
Regarding the extension, Government Code section 65858(d) requires the City Council to issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the temporary urgency ordinance ten days prior to any extension or the termination of the urgency ordinance. On July 11, 2022, the City Council considered, approved, and issued the required report pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d) (Attachment C) describing measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of Ordinance No. 755. The Report concludes that although the City has made progress toward enacting comprehensive formula business regulations, the conditions that led to the adoption of Ordinance No. 755 remain ongoing. The staff report for the Government Code section 65858(d) Report is available online and/or by requesting a copy from the City Clerk and is hereby incorporated by reference. 10 While the temporary moratorium is in place, the City Council will undertake the preparation and adoption of (permanent) regulations for the establishment of formula businesses within the City. The permanent regulations were initiated by the City Council as a separate agenda item on July 11, 2022. The staff report initiating preparation of the permanent regulations is available on line and hereby incorporated by reference.
11 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
As discussed in the other staff reports concerning Ordinance No. 755, numerous policies speak to providing for a range of business activities that are compatible with the City of Carpinteria's small beach town character. In particular, General Plan/Local Coastal Plan 9 See https://carpinteria. granicus.com/MetaViewer. php?view _id=2&cl ip _id= 1064&meta_id=714 73 10 See https://carpinteria.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1070&meta_id=71817 11 See https://carpinteria.granicus.com/MetaViewer. php?view_id=2&clip_id=1070&meta_id=71814 N:\Project Files\2022 (2139- )\Formula Business Ordinance\Moratorium\1 st Extension 07-25-2022\Final Staff Report re Formula Businesses Moratorium 1st Extension 7.25.2022 .docx

Objective LU-3, and Policies LU-3d and LU-3g, and the City's Sustainable Community Policy (Resolution No. 5500) may be found consistent with an interest in temporarily limiting establishment of new formula businesses in Carpinteria.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proliferation of formula businesses can have long-term economic consequences for a community. Low-margin businesses that meet the basic needs of surrounding neighborhoods, such as grocers and pharmacies, may be pushed out as rents rise and the area attracts more formula restaurants and stores. Perhaps of greatest concern, formula businesses tend to be fair-weather friends and can disappear quickly when the economy contracts or their corporate strategy shifts. The risk of formula businesses resulting in a downtown or neighborhood business district losing its distinctive appeal and no longer offering opportunities for independent entrepreneurs could result in loss of customers, fewer business opportunities, and a decline in locally generated tax revenue.

A moratorium on new formula businesses could temporarily impact potential City revenues generated from sources, including but not limited to: sales taxes, property taxes (related to new developmenUtenant improvements), transient occupancy taxes (for hotel/motel uses), business license taxes, and permit fees. The extent to which such revenues would be impacted is dependent upon the scope and breadth of any moratorium on formula businesses, and the degree to which such moratorium limits or reduces the establishment of new businesses in the City. It would be assumed that a broader, more comprehensive moratorium would have a greater potential for impact on City revenues as compared to a more narrowly defined moratorium.

Costs associated with staff time for the preparation and implementation of a moratorium and any follow-on permanent regulations limiting formula businesses would be paid for from General Fund sources.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
California has a well-established history with formula business restrictions at a city and county level. In addition to prominent "big box" store regulations, many cities of varying size across the state have enacted prohibitions against formula businesses. California courts largely have upheld these restrictions against legal challenges under the dormant commerce and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

It is also a well-established legal principle that a public agency's police power has broad application to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents which has been interpreted to include regulating formula businesses. Additionally, section 65858 of the Government Code authorizes cities to adopt a temporary moratorium without following the typical procedures that it would use to amend its municipal code.

temporary moratorium barring issuance of additional entitlements may be adopted under Government Code section 65858 where the City Council finds that issuance of such entitlements would result in a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

Prior to extension of such a temporary moratorium, section 65858(d) of the Government Code requires that, ten days prior to an extension, the City Council must "issue a written report describing he measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance." The report attached as Attachment C satisfies these requirements.

California law requires that an urgency ordinance be approved by a four-fifths vote of the local legislative body> An urgency ordinance may remain in effect for only 45 days, unless it is extended (after notice and a hearing) by another four-fifths vote for ten months and 15 days, with the option of an additional one-year extension.

OPTIONS

1. Approve and adopt Ordinance No. 757, thereby extending the temporary moratorium concerning formula businesses (staff recommendation).

2. Decline to enact an extension of the urgency ordinance No. 755.

ORDINANCE NO. 757

EXTENSION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF CARPINTERIA, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE

ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY OR ANY OTHER

ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE OPERATION OF FORMULA BUSINESSES WITHIN THE

CITY OF CARPINTERIA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CASITAS PLAZA AND

THE SHEPARD PLACE SHOPS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City of Carpinteria's ("City") police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City ("City Council") has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, section 65850 of the Government Code also provides the City Council with the authority to, among other things, adopt ordinances regulating the use of buildings within its jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Ordinance currently allows operation of formula businesses within the City, provided that such businesses meet all applicable legal requirements and have obtained a Certificate of Occupancy and other necessary entitlements from the City; and WHEREAS, the City adopted its General Plan/Local Coastal Plan as a comprehensive, long-term plan for the City's development and many of the City's General Plan/Local Coastal Plan policies and zoning regulations were enacted to limit commercial development that would impair the City's distinctive small beach town charm and character. Among others, those land use objectives and policies include the following:
• Land Use Element Objective LU-3: Preserve the small beach town character of the built environment of Carpinteria, encouraging compatible revitalization and avoiding spawl development at the City's edge; and
• Policy LU-3d: Establish a commercial sector that balances the retail and service needs of citizens and tourists; and
• Policy LU-3g: Provide for a range of business activities that bring vitality, revenue, and employment to Carpinteria and are compatible with its small town character.

WHEREAS, the City has adopted Resolution No. 5500, a Sustainable Community Policy, in part, as a basis for creating strategies that allow it to adapt to ever-changing environmental, economic, social, and physical stressors. Among the directives of the City's Sustainable Community Policy are the following:
• Promote a diversified and resilient local economy that reflects the unique attributes of the region and provides necessary and desirable products and services for both residents and visitors; and
• Attract and retain downtown retailers, hotels, corporate headquarters and Research and Development uses that can be successful in and complimentary to the community; and Ordinance No. 757

Page 2 ends

• Establish support for small business development; and • Maintain and enhance the unique identity of the community and built environment to sustain a strong sense of place and community.

WHEREAS, the City's character as a classic California beach town; the City's desire to foster businesses that serve both the needs of City residents and visitors and thereby ensure the community's quality of life; the resiliency of the City's vibrant, small-scale, diversified commercial character; and the City's ongoing economic vitality all require that the City maintain and encourage establishment of diverse business types and sizes, including smaller and mid-sized businesses; and
WHEREAS, formula businesses are, by their very nature, standardized (including their architecture, decor, color schemes, and signage) and not unique, and therefore do not enhance the unique small town character that the City Council finds necessary to maintain a viable visitor industry in the City; and
WHEREAS, as City staff noted in a May 9, 2022 Staff Report, many formula businesses are increasingly locating in downtowns and neighborhood business districts en masse, squeezing out independent businesses and causing a speculative run-up in rents that results in the wholesale transformation of a business district. In addition to causing such downtowns and business districts to lose their distinctive appeal, the rent increases caused by an influx of formula businesses can force independent entrepreneurs and low margin/service businesses that serve the surrounding neighborhood's basic needs to close or move out of the area; and WHEREAS, as further noted by City staff in the May 9, 2022 Staff Report, local economies dominated by formula businesses tend to be solely profit-based and therefore disinterested in meeting the community's needs, rather than filling a local niche or complementing existing businesses in similar categories. Formula businesses also often invest locally generated profits outside of the community, disappearing quickly when economic conditions shift or corporate strategy changes, and leaving behind vacancies with higher rent expectations; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is not premised on maintaining local ownership of businesses, or protecting existing businesses, or preventing formula businesses from doing business in the City. The purpose of this ordinance is to maintain the City's unique, special character, the diversity and vitality of the City's commercial districts, and the quality oflife of City residents; and WHEREAS, the impacts described above may result in existing small businesses losing customers and having fewer business opportunities, and may further lead to long-term urban decay and increased vacancies in commercial real estate, both of which could lead to a decline in tax revenue for the City; and
WHEREAS, further, the COVID-19 pandemic and government regulations pertaining to social distancing had devastating impacts on businesses-with acute impacts on small businesses-including those doing business within the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the unregulated proliferation of formula businesses could lead to a lack of diversity in City businesses, which would substantially harm the Ordinance No. 757

Page 3 ends

important City interests listed above and create substantial public health, safety and welfare problems for the City, its residents, and its businesses; and WHEREAS, on May 9, 2022, the City Council directed City staff to prepare a proposal to adopt regulations governing the establishment of formula businesses within the City; and WHEREAS, City staff is currently studying and drafting comprehensive regulations governing formula businesses pursuant to the City Council's direction; and WHEREAS, in the meantime, a temporary moratorium is necessary to allow City staff time to study possible revisions to the City's zoning ordinance and other regulations to address the matters set forth above, which regulations when completed will be brought back for City Council consideration within a reasonable time; and
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2022, the City Council heard City staff's report and received public comment on the proposed moratorium but could not take action on the moratorium because only three Councilmembers were present, which would not have met the four-fifths (4/5) vote requirement in Government Code section 65858; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 65858 provides that for the purpose of protecting the public safety, health, and welfare and without following the procedures otherwise required prior to adoption of a zoning ordinance, the City Council may adopt, as an urgency measure, an urgency ordinance prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with "a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the [City Council], planning commission or the planning department is considering studying or intends to study within a reasonable time;" and WHEREAS, the City currently has approximately 15 vacant commercial spaces, in addition to an anticipated 17 to 20 new commercial spaces that are associated with pending development projects, which could be occupied by a formula business without any further discretionary review or approval by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code provides that a Certificate of Occupancy and business license, both of which are necessary to operate a business in the City, are ministerial entitlements not subject to discretionary review by the City; and WHEREAS, if and when a new formula business applies for such entitlements, any such application could be granted before the City could consider and enact an urgency ordinance under Government Code section 65858 regulating establishment of such a new formula business, thereby frustrating the City's ability to enact lawful regulations on the establishment of new formula businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that, as a result of these conditions, the City cannot wait until a new application for establishment of a formula business is submitted in order to enact restrictions on formula businesses; and
WHEREAS, if additional formula businesses were allowed to be instituted in the City, prior to the City's consideration and adoption of final regulations governing formula businesses, Ordinance No. 757

Page 4 ends

such uses could (1) conflict with and/or defeat the purpose of the proposal to adopt regulations regulating formula businesses, (2) conflict with the requirements of the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan, (3) be inconsistent with surrounding uses, and/or (4) be immediately detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, in the absence of an urgency moratorium, the City's ability to effectively address in a timely manner the negative impacts caused by the proliferation of formula businesses on the public health, safety, and welfare will be seriously compromised; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the above conditions create a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City, its residents, and its businesses, within the meaning of Government Code section 65858, as the public health, safety, and welfare depend on the continued economic and cultural vitality of a connected, engaged, and diverse business community, and excessive formula businesses degrade the community's smalltown feel and eliminate opportunities for smaller and independently-owned businesses to thrive, especially those business providing vital services to local residents that do not normally pay high rents; and
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2022 for the reasons included in the record, the City Council has determined that, as of the Effective Date of Ordinance No. 755, there is no urgency to regulate formula businesses within the Casitas Plaza or the Shepard Place Shops; and WHEREAS, on June 27, 2022 the City Council determined, by at least a four-fifths (4/5) vote, that Ordinance No. 755 satisfies the requirements of Government Code section 65858, is a matter of City-wide importance, is a reasonable and necessary measure designed for immediate preservation and protection of the public health, safety, and welfare of the community, and is in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and regulations; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of Government Code section 65858 provide that the City Council may extend the interim ordinance for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days upon notice pursuant to Government Code section 65090 and a public hearing at which the City Council adopts the extension by at least a four-fifth ( 4/5) vote; and WHEREAS, although the City has made progress (as outlined in a report prepared and adopted by the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d)), the City has not completed evaluating possible revisions to the City's zoning ordinance and other regulations to address regulation of short-term rentals, and meanwhile the conditions creating an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare (as described above and in Ordinance No. 755) persist; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Government Code sections 65858 and 65090, a notice of public hearing about the proposed extension of this Ordinance, originally enacted on June 27, 2022, has been placed in a newspaper of general circulation within the City at least 10 days prior to the City Council meeting scheduled for July 25, 2022; and Ordinance No. 757

Page 5 ends

WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 65858, the City Council has determined, by at least four-fifth ( 4/5) votes, to extend this Ordinance for the immediate preservation and protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals Incorporated.

The above recitals are incorporated herein and are each relied upon independently by the City Council in its adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. Declaration of Urgency.

The City Council hereby finds and declares that, for the reasons set forth in the above recitals, there is a need to extend the urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the issuance of any and all Certificates of Occupancy and/or any other entitlements for the operation of formula businesses (as defined in Section 6 of this Ordinance) within the City, with the exception of the Casitas Plaza and the Shepard Place Shops (collectively, "City Limits"), subject to the findings and conditions contained in this Ordinance. To clarify, the Casitas Plaza and the Shepard Place Shops shall not be subject to this Ordinance. Prior to the issuance of further entitlements for formula businesses within the City, City staff needs time to study the Carpinteria Municipal Code ("CMC"), including the City's zoning regulations, and other regulations to ensure that the provisions of the City's zoning regulations and other regulations applicable to formula businesses are compatible with and support the City's General Plan/Local Coastal Plan; ensure consistency with surrounding land uses; ensure compliance with evolving state and federal law; and ensure that the effects of such land use on the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and businesses of the City are adequately addressed.

SECTION 3. Moratorium.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the CMC or any other ordinances or regulations of the City to the contrary, no Certificate of Occupancy or any other entitlement which has as its result the approval or allowance of the operation of a formula business within the City Limits shall be issued, granted or approved by any employee, department, or commission of the City for a period ofup to ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days following the date of expiration of Ordinance No. 755, which is June 26, 2023; provided, however, that after notice pursuant to Government Code section 65090 and a public hearing, the City Council, by the affirmative vote of at least four-fifth ( 4/5) of the voting members, may extend this Ordinance for an additional period of one (1) year pursuant to Government Code section 65858. During the term of this Ordinance, only those entitlements for which the right to proceed with the associated development, facility, or activity has vested pursuant to the provisions of State law prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, shall proceed in violation of the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Immediate Threat.

Page 6 ends

immediate threat identified by the City Council to the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses that would result from the grant of new Certificates of Occupancy and/or other entitlements for the operation of formula businesses within the City Limits.

SECTION 5. Hardship Exception/Waiver.

The City, on a case-by-case basis, shall have the authority, upon a showing of good cause by an applicant or other individual with standing, to waive the interim prohibition/moratorium imposed by this Ordinance and allow for the granting of a Certificate of Occupancy and/or other City-issued entitlement to said applicant or other individual with standing. "Good cause" shall mean a factual and evidentiary showing by the applicant that the interim prohibition/moratorium, if not waived, will (1) deprive the applicant of substantially all reasonable economic use of its property or (2) result in a violation of an applicable California or federal law. All such applications for waiver shall be filed with the City Community Development Department.

SECTION 6. Definition of Formula Business.

For the purposes of this Ordinance, "formula business" is defined as any commercial business operating as a retail sales, restaurant/food service, and/or hotel or motel establishment, and which (a) has more than seven (7) locations anywhere in the United States of America, and (b) has two or more of the following features common to all or substantially all of its locations:
standardized array of services or products for sale, facade, architecture, decor or color scheme, uniform or other employee apparel, signage, or trademark/servicemark. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the following types of businesses are not formula businesses: office space, professional services, banks or credit unions, grocery stores, nonprofit businesses, pharmacies, gas stations, or theaters/performing arts spaces.

SECTION 7. Exception for Relocation of Existing Formula Businesses.

In the event that a formula business, in operation at a location within the City Limits on the Effective Date of this Ordinance, seeks to relocate to another location within the City, this Ordinance shall not apply to bar such relocation.

SECTION 8. Effective Date.

SECTION 10. Severability.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this Ordinance, and each and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more provisions may be declared invalid.

SECTION 11. CEQA Exemption.

The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines sections 15060( c )(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a "project" as defined in section 153 78). The Ordinance prevents changes in the environment pending completion of the contemplated CMC review and thus has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.

ORDINANCE NO. 755

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

CARPINTERIA, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE

ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY OR ANY OTHER

ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE OPERATION OF FORMULA BUSINESSES WITHIN THE

CITY OF CARPINTERIA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CASIT AS PLAZA AND

THE SHEP ARD PLACE SHOPS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City of Carpinteria's ("City") police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City ("City Council") has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for public health, safety, and welfare;
WHEREAS, section 65850 of the Government Code also provides the City Council with the authority to, among other things, adopt ordinances regulating the use of buildings within its jurisdiction;
WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Ordinance currently allows operation of formula businesses within the City, provided that such businesses meet all applicable legal requirements and have obtained a Certificate of Occupancy and other necessary entitlements from the City; and WHEREAS, the City adopted its General Plan/Local Coastal Plan as a comprehensive, long-term plan for the City's development and many of the City's General Plan/Local Coastal Plan policies and zoning regulations were enacted to limit commercial development that would impair the City's distinctive small beach town charm and character. Among others, those land use objectives and policies include the following:
• Land Use Element Objective LU-3: Preserve the small beach town character of the built environment of Carpinteria, encouraging compatible revitalization and avoiding spawl development at the City's edge
• Policy LU-3d: Establish a commercial sector that balances the retail and service needs of citizens and tourists
• Policy LU-3g: Provide for a range of business activities that bring vitality, revenue, and employment to Carpinteria and are compatible with its small town character; WHEREAS, the City has adopted Resolution No. 5500, a Sustainable Community Policy, in part, as a basis for creating strategies that allow it to adapt to ever-changing environmental, economic, social and physical stressors. Among the directives of the City's Sustainable Community Policy are the following:
• Promote a diversified and resilient local economy that reflects the unique attributes of the region and provides necessary and desirable products and services for both residents and visitors;
• Attract and retain downtown retailers, hotels, corporate headquarters and Research and Development uses that can be successful in and complimentary to the community; Ordinance No. 755

Page 2 ends

• Establish support for small business development;
• Maintain and enhance the unique identity of the community and built environment to sustain a strong sense of place and community;
WHEREAS, the City's character as a classic California beach town; the City's desire to foster businesses that serve both the needs of City residents and visitors and thereby ensure the community's quality of life; the resiliency of the City's vibrant, small-scale, diversified commercial character; and the City's ongoing economic vitality all require that the City maintain and encourage establishment of diverse business types and sizes, including smaller and mid-sized businesses;
WHEREAS, formula businesses are, by their very nature, standardized (including their architecture, decor, color schemes, and signage) and not unique, and therefore do not enhance the unique small town character that the City Council finds necessary to maintain a viable visitor industry in the City;
WHEREAS, as City staff noted in a May 9, 2022 Staff Report, many formula businesses are increasingly locating in downtowns and neighborhood business districts en masse, squeezing out independent businesses and causing a speculative run-up in rents that results in the wholesale transformation of a business district. In addition to causing such downtowns and business districts to lose their distinctive appeal, the rent increases caused by an influx of formula businesses can force independent entrepreneurs and low margin/service businesses that serve the surrounding neighborhood's basic needs to close or move out of the area; WHEREAS, as further noted by City staff in the May 9, 2022 Staff Report, local economies dominated by formula businesses tend to be solely profit-based and therefore disinterested in meeting the community's needs, rather than filling a local niche or complementing existing businesses in similar categories. Formula businesses also often invest locally generated profits outside of the community, disappearing quickly when economic conditions shift or corporate strategy changes, and leaving behind vacancies with higher rent expectations; WHEREAS, this ordinance is not premised on maintaining local ownership of businesses, or protecting existing businesses, or preventing formula businesses from doing business in the City. The purpose of this ordinance is lo maintain the City's unique, special character, the diversity and vitality of the City's commercial districts, and the quality of life of City residents; WHEREAS, the impacts described above may result in existing small businesses losing customers and having fewer business opportunities, and may further lead to long-term urban decay and increased vacancies in commercial real estate, both of which could lead to a decline in tax revenue for the City;
WHEREAS, further, the COVID-19 pandemic and government regulations pertaining to social distancing had devastating impacts on businesses-with acute impacts on small businesses-including those doing business within the City; WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the unregulated proliferation of formula businesses could lead to a lack of diversity in City businesses, which would substantially harm the Ordinance No. 755

Page 3 ends

important City interests listed above and create substantial public health, safety and welfare problems for the City, its residents, and its businesses; WHEREAS, on May 9, 2022, the City Council directed City staff to prepare a proposal to adopt regulations governing the establishment of formula businesses within the City; WHEREAS, City staff is in the process of initiating an amendment to its Local Coastal Plan for the City Council's consideration at a future meeting in order to study and draft comprehensive regulations governing formula businesses pursuant to the City Council's direction; WHEREAS, in the meantime, a temporary moratorium is necessary to allow City staff time to study possible revisions to the City's zoning ordinance and other regulations to address the matters set forth above, which regulations when completed will be brought back for City Council consideration within a reasonable time;
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2022, the City Council heard City staffs report and received public comment on the proposed moratorium but could not take action on the moratorium because only three Councilmembers were present, which would not have met the four-fifths ( 4/5) vote requirement in Government Code section 65858;
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 65858 provides that for the purpose of protecting the public safety, health, and welfare and without following the procedures otherwise required prior to adoption of a zoning ordinance, the City Council may adopt, as an urgency measure, an urgency ordinance prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with "a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the [City Council], planning commission or the planning department is considering studying or intends to study within a reasonable time;" WHEREAS, the City currently has approximately 15 vacant commercial spaces, in addition to an anticipated 17 to 20 new commercial spaces that are associated with pending development projects, which could be occupied by a formula business without any further discretionary review or approval by the City;
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code provides that a Certificate of Occupancy and business license, both of which are necessary to operate a business in the City, are ministerial entitlements not subject to discretionary review by the City; WHEREAS, if and when a new formula business applies for such entitlements, any such application could be granted before the City could consider and enact an urgency ordinance under Government Code section 65 85 8 regulating establishment of such a new formula business, thereby frustrating the City's ability to enact lawful regulations on the establishment of new formula businesses;
WHEREAS, the City finds that, as a result of these conditions, the City cannot wait until a new application for establishment of a formula business is submitted in order to enact restrictions on formula businesses;
Ordinance No. 755

Page 4 ends

WHEREAS, if additional formula businesses were allowed to be instituted in the City, prior to the City's consideration and adoption of final regulations governing formula businesses, such uses could (1) conflict with and/or defeat the purpose of the proposal to adopt regulations regulating formula businesses, (2) conflict with the requirements of the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan, (3) be inconsistent with surrounding uses, and/or ( 4) be immediately detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare;
WHEREAS, in the absence of an urgency moratorium, the City's ability to effectively address in a timely manner the negative impacts caused by the proliferation of formula businesses on the public health, safety, and welfare will be seriously compromised; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the above conditions create a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City, its residents, and its businesses, within the meaning of Government Code section 65858, as the public health, safety, and welfare depend on the continued economic and cultural vitality of a connected, engaged, and diverse business community, and excessive formula businesses degrade the community's smalltown feel and eliminate opportunities for smaller and independently-owned businesses to thrive, especially those business providing vital services to local residents that do not normally pay high rents;
WHEREAS, for the reasons included in the record, the City Council has determined that, as of the Effective Date (as this term is defined in Section 8 below) of Ordinance No. 755 ("Ordinance"), there is no urgency to regulate formula businesses within the Casitas Plaza or the Shepard Place Shops;
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined, by at least a four-fifths (4/5) vote, that this Ordinance satisfies the requirements of Government Code section 65858, is a matter of City-wide importance, is a reasonable and necessary measure designed for immediate preservation and protection of the public health, safety, and welfare of the community, and is in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals Incorporated.

The above recitals are incorporated herein and are each relied upon independently by the City Council in its adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. Declaration of Urgency.

The City Council hereby finds and declares that, for the reasons set forth in the above recitals, there is a need to enact an urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the issuance of any and all Certificates of Occupancy and/or any other entitlements for the operation of formula businesses ( as defined in Section 6 of this Ordinance) within the City, with the exception of the Casitas Plaza and the Shepard Place Shops (collectively, "City Limits"), subject to the findings and conditions contained in this Ordinance. To clarify, the Casitas Plaza and the Shepard Place Shops shall not be subject to this Ordinance. Prior to the issuance of further entitlements for Ordinance No. 755

Page 5 ends

formula businesses within the City, City staff needs time to study the Carpinteria Municipal Code ("CMC"), including the City's zoning regulations, and other regulations to ensure that the provisions of the City's zoning regulations and other regulations applicable to formula businesses are compatible with and support the City's General Plan/Local Coastal Plan; ensure consistency with surrounding land uses; ensure compliance with evolving state and federal law; and ensure that the effects of such land use on the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and businesses of the City are adequately addressed.

SECTION 3. Moratorium.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the CMC or any other ordinances or regulations of the City to the contrary, no Certificate of Occupancy or any other entitlement which has as its result the approval or allowance of the operation of a formula business within the City Limits shall be issued, granted or approved by any employee, department, or commission of the City for a period of forty-five (45) days immediately succeeding the effective date of this Ordinance (and as it shall be extended pursuant to the requirements on Government Code section 65858). During the term of this Ordinance, only those entitlements for which the right to proceed with the associated development, facility, or activity has vested pursuant to the provisions of State law prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, shall proceed in violation of the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Immediate Threat.

Based on the findings herein, this Ordinance is adopted pursuant to California Government Code section 65858. Adoption of this Ordinance is required in order to address the current and immediate threat identified by the City Council to the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses that would result from the grant of new Certificates of Occupancy and/or other entitlements for the operation of formula businesses within the City Limits.

SECTION 5. Hardship Exception/Waiver.

The City, on a case-by-case basis, shall have the authority, upon a showing of good cause by an applicant or other individual with standing, to waive the interim prohibition/moratorium imposed by this Ordinance and allow for the granting of a Certificate of Occupancy and/or other City-issued entitlement to said applicant or other individual with standing. "Good cause" shall mean a factual and evidentiary showing by the applicant that the interim prohibition/moratorium, if not waived, will (1) deprive the applicant of substantially all reasonable economic use of its property or (2) result in a violation ofan applicable California or federal law. All such applications for waiver shall be filed with the City Community Development Department.

SECTION 6. Definition of Formula Business.

Page 6 ends

other provision of this Section, the following types of businesses are not formula businesses: office space, professional services, banks or credit unions, grocery stores, nonprofit businesses, pharmacies, gas stations, or theaters/performing arts spaces.

SECTION 7. Exception for Relocation of Existing Formula Businesses.

SECTION 8. Effective Date.

This Ordinance shall be in effect for a period of forty-five (45) days immediately following the date of adoption; provided, however, that after notice pursuant to California Government Code section 65090 and a public hearing, by the affirmative vote of at least four-fifths ( 4/5) the City Council may extend this Ordinance for an initial period of time up to 10 months and 15 days pursuant to California Government Code section 65858. Thereafter, upon a four-fifth (4/5) vote, a further extension of one (1) year is also permitted.

SECTION 9. Amendment of Ordinance.

SECTION 10. Severability.

SECTION 11. CEQA Exemption.

The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines sections 15060( c )(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a "project" as defined in section 15378). The Ordinance prevents changes in the environment pending completion of the contemplated CMC review and thus has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.

Gov. Code§ 65858(d) Report
Date: July 11, 2022
From: City Council
To: Ordinance No. 755 file
Subject: Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate Need for Moratorium on Formula Businesses
This report ("Report") describes the measures taken by the City of Carpinteria ("City") to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of Ordinance No. 755 ("Ordinance), which enacted a moratorium on the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy, business licenses, or other necessary entitlements to establish a formula business within the City limits, with the exception of the Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place Shops.

Background
Many communities across the state and country are experiencing a growth in the number of chain stores and restaurants being established, with associated impacts on the local community and economy. Also known as formula businesses, these establishments have been shown to have negative impacts on the public health, safety, and welfare, including uncontrolled increases in commercial rent, degrading the character of distinctive or historic areas, reducing local tax revenue, and driving out smaller, independent businesses on which the community depends. These concerns are more thoroughly described in the staff reports presented to the City Council for its deliberations on the Ordinance, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1 On June 27, 2022, the City Council adopted the Ordinance, imposing a moratorium on the City's issuance of entitlements to operate new formula businesses in the City, with the exception of the Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place Shops. The purpose of the Ordinance is to prevent the establishment of new formula businesses within these areas while the City develops and approves comprehensive, permanent regulations governing formula businesses.

Page 2 ends

Work To Date
At its July 11, 2022 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6146, which directs City staff to begin drafting amendments to the City's Local Coastal Program and Municipal Code regulating formula businesses within the City. City staff has begun that process, and will work with the Planning Commission and the public to develop proposed regulations for the City Council's consideration. The City Council also provided City staff with direction as to the nature and scope of the final regulations, and City staff is in the process of researching and drafting proposed language pursuant to that direction.

Therefore, although the City has taken significant steps toward enacting comprehensive formula business regulations, the conditions that led to the adoption of the Ordinance are ongoing and additional time will be required to complete the necessary work.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 25, 2022

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Approval and Authorization to enter into a revised Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments; County of Santa Barbara; and the cities of Buellton, Goleta, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Solvang concerning the preparation of the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a revised Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments; County of Santa Barbara; and the cities of Buellton, Goleta, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Solvang concerning the preparation of the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan.

Sample Motion: I move to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a revised Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments; County of Santa Barbara; and the cities of Buellton, Goleta, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Solvang concerning the preparation of the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had relied on their broadband service in order to telework and stay socially distant for curbing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the digital divide in unserved and underserved communities more apparent as work, commerce, health, and other economic services have moved online. Those in unserved and underserved communities have been struggling to participate in the digital landscape as broadband services are unavailable to them due to lack of affordability or infrastructure. Further, the state has identified a need for improving broadband infrastructure in order to:

1. Encourage new broadband service providers to enter the marketplace in order to improve competition

2. Build redundancy of connection for improved resiliency and disaster recovery Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan
July 25, 2022
Page2

3. Increase overall capacity for local broadband service in support of economic development and enhanced telework infrastructure.

In order to address these needs, it has been identified that the broadband infrastructure serving the region that includes Santa Barbara County needs to be improved. In July 2021, Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) formed the Broadband Ad-hoc Committee, which comprises of SBCAG board members Nelson and Hartman (County), Osborne (Lompoc), Patino (Santa Maria) and Perotte (Goleta). The Broadband Ad-hoc Committee formed the basis of SBCAG Board of Directors' support and encouragement to formalize a collaborative, regional approach to developing a broadband strategic plan between SBCAG, County of Santa Barbara and the eight incorporated cities.

On October 21, 2021, the SBCAG Board of Directors authorized its Executive Director to request participation from the eight cities including the City of Carpinteria in the preparation of the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan. In October 2021, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors committed $200,000 from the County of Santa Barbara's share of the America Rescue Plan Act. The SBCAG Board of Directors proposed dividing the remaining cost among the eight cities based on the 2021 California Department of Finance population estimate to the cities' collective population of 307,821.

1. In October 2021, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors committed $200,000 from the County of Santa Barbara's share of the America Rescue Plan Act funds.

On November 8, 2021, the City Council initially approved and authorized the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SBCAG; County of Santa Barbara; and the other seven cities in the county for preparing the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan, as well as approved an appropriation of $8,600 for the City's financial contribution. Since that time, the MOU was revised by Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan
July 25, 2022

SBCAG. Based on the City Attorney Office's review, the revisions were determined to be substantive that warrant the City Council's re-approval.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the revised MOU with SBCAG; County of Santa Barbara; and the other seven cities in the county for preparing the Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan.

DISCUSSION
The revisions to the initial MOU are summarized as follows:

1. Change to recitals.

2. Change to deadline for financial contributions from February 2021 to February 2022.

3. Added provision regarding nondiscrimination.

4. Amended language regarding conflicts of interest.

5. Added provision regarding audits and inspections requirement.

6. Deleted "Federal Award Identification" chart.

The revised MOU is shown as Attachment A.

The Santa Barbara County Regional Broadband Strategic Plan is currently being prepared by Broadband Consortium Pacific Coast
1 , which is separately contracted with
SBCAG.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 25, 2022

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
2021 Annual Integrated Pest Management (1PM) Report

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Accept the report to be made available for public review and kept on file with the City Clerk.

Sample Motion: I move to accept the 2021 Annual Integrated Pest Management Program (1PM) Report to be made available for public review and kept on file in the City Clerk's office.

BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5355, thereby establishing an Integrated Pest Management Policy for the City of Carpinteria. The policy is intended to manage environmental pests while reducing the use of pesticides at City owned facilities including parks and streets while still maintaining safety and aesthetics. This effort requires year-round management as well as the publication of an annual report that summarizes the City's pesticide use, employment of 1PM practices and recommendations for the next year.

This is the 10
th annual report to be presented.

The report has been prepared by City Staff, circulated to the 1PM Committee, and is presented to the City Council for review, comments and acceptance. The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the Council to receive the annual 1PM report and to communicate its results to the community for purposes of education and transparency.

DISCUSSION
The 1PM committee did not meet in 2021. The Committee had an initial task to develop and recommend for adoption, the City's 1PM policy. This was adopted in 2012. Since 2022 Annual 1PM Report
July 25, 2022
Page #2
that time, the 1PM policy protocols require the City to follow well established 1PM practices in making horticultural care and pest control decisions as they relate to use of toxic substances. Because of this, and the City's ability to use low toxicity materials in most instances, the work of the committee has been minimal in recent years and 2021 was no exception.

The need for pesticides in 2021 were relatively consistent with the previous year's needs: Drought conditions continued in the winter of 2021. Weed management on sidewalks and in street right of ways require less effort in drought years.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The 1PM Report is provided annually pursuant the City's 1PM Policy. The implementation of the 1PM policy will have long term beneficial effects on the overall health of the City. 1PM does not prohibit the use of pesticides, rather it requires that the least toxic method be considered before more toxic approaches are implemented.

Public exposure to pesticides has always been minimized by following product labels and common sense practices; however, implementation of the 1PM program can help to reduce exposure potential and encourage Carpinteria residents to enjoy their public parks and facilities without concern of being exposed to harmful substances.

The reduction in the use of pesticides can help in reducing storm water pollution and improve the biological health of our creeks and ocean.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1PM practices have different costs than conventional methods of pest control. In some cases costs can be higher and in others costs can be lower. If practiced over time, 1PM tactics should lower costs and simultaneously improve environmental conditions.

LEGAL
No Legal issues are presented as a part of this report.

OPTIONS
No options are presented as a part of this report.

Drywood termites are secretive insects that are difficult to detect. They live deep inside wood; and except during periods when they swarm or when repair work is being done on infested homes, they are seldom seen. Colonies are small (usually fewer than 1,000 individuals), can be widely dispersed, and take years to mature. The most common sighting of drywood termites is flying adults (called swarmers) that occur during daytime hours during summer and fall. Neil D. Tsutsui; Andrew V. Suarez; David A. Holway; Ted J. Case

INTRODUCTION
In 2021, the City continued to rely on 1PM tactics to prevent excessive pest infestation in City landscapes, parks and buildings. Termites, ants, oak moth worms, gophers and invasive weeds were the most challenging pests encountered this year.

All declared Pesticide Free Zones were respected in 2021.

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria City Council established the Carpinteria City's 1PM policy by adopting Resolution No.5355 at its regular meeting of January 9, 2012. The policy establishes an 1PM committee of up to nine members. The goal of 1PM is to mitigate pest damage to City property while protecting human health, the environment and economic viability.

The City policy has ten basic tenents.

1. Establishes the goal of reducing or eliminating the use of toxic pesticides through the use of common-sense principals of 1PM. Use of 1PM tactics, such as mulching, hand or mechanical weeding and rodent trapping, will be the first line of defense.
[2]

2. Establishes the use of 1PM methodology for selecting the appropriate pest intervention options.

3. Commits the City to establish Pesticide Free Zones where no pesticides will be used unless an emergency arises. These areas will include park play structures and picnic areas.

4. References the use of 1PM tactics from reputable mainstream sources; specifically, the University of California at Davis, the California Invasive Plant Council and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

5. Avoids whenever possible the contamination of buildings, soil, air, and water and protects people, animals and beneficial plants and insects from toxic exposures.

6. Establishes the requirement that all personnel involved in pest management at the City receive training and continuing education on the use of pesticides.

7. Requires cooperation and communication between City departments and City Contractors by setting standard operating procedures for the control of pests.

8. Establishes an 1PM Advisory Committee (IPMAC) with up to nine members that includes representation from the Parks and Recreation Department, The Public Works Department, The Bluffs Advisory committee, and at least two at large community members that can make recommendations to the City Council on implementation and amendment of the 1PM policy.

9. Establishes a public outreach and information program to help others in the community reduce the use of pesticides.

10. Establishes that effective public notification will be implemented when pesticides are used. The utilization of a Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zone system is to be utilized to help accomplish the public notification objective. The PHAER Zone system also includes the creation of a color metric pesticide list potentially used by the City that groups pesticides into three groups with low (green), medium (yellow) and high (red) toxicity.

The 1PM policy requires the preparation of an annual report to disclose the pest issues encountered and tactics used to combat the problem including pesticide use, if any, in City facilities. This report will be filed with the City Clerk for public inspection and presented to the City Council.

During 2021 the 1PM committee was comprised of the following members:
• Will Carleton, Chair
• Patrick Crooks
• Russell Ruiz
[3]
The committee did not meet during the course of the calendar year, as there was nothing noted outside of normal 1PM approved operations.

The City continued 1PM approved operations with the use of pesticides after other methods were tried. Ant control at the County Medical Clinic is an exception, as there is a low tolerance for ant infestation and the service center is managed by the County of Santa Barbara.

The materials used at the clinic include Esfenvalerate, Piperonyl butoxide and Prallethrin. They are commonly used in ultra-low volume sprays for outdoor mosquito control including many household insecticides such as RAID.

The decision to use insecticides at the clinic is made by the County Medical Clinic personnel and County Public Health Department.

In 2021, a non-toxic method for gopher control at all sites was implemented. The Eliminator® System, Inert Gas Injection, was used for delivery of carbon dioxide gas into underground burrows. The carbon dioxide fills the tunnels and eliminates oxygen, resulting in gopher death. However, complete control in illusive and gophers continue to cause damage on all of our sites.
2021 WEED AND INVASIVE PLANT CONTROL
All weed control efforts by City forces utilized mechanical mowing, hand-hoeing or pulling and/or mulching to accomplish the desired outcome. Herbicides are used in hard-to-control areas or in the case of excessive infestation.

Glyphosate
The use of glyphosate continues to be minimized or eliminated by City Staff. Also known by the brand name Roundup, glyphosate use is controversial due to high profile lawsuits awarding significant damages to plantiffs who used round up and later developed cancer.

While the lawsuits are troubling, the vast majority of research performed worldwide still concludes that use of glyphosate is safe. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published it latest review of Glyphosate in January of 2020. Their published summary of findings is presented below.

EPA has concluded its regulatory review of glyphosate-the most widely used herbicide in the United States. After a thorough review of the best available science, as required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA has concluded that there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used according to the label and that it is not a carcinogen.
[4]
EPA scientists performed an independent evaluation of available data for glyphosate and found:
• No risks of concern to human health from current uses of glyphosate. Glyphosate products used according to label directions do not result in risks to children or adults.
• No indication that children are more sensitive to glyphosate. After evaluating numerous studies from a variety of sources, the Agency found no indication that children are more sensitive to glyphosate from in utero or post-natal exposure.

As part of the human health risk assessment, the Agency evaluated all populations, including infants, children and women of child-bearing age, and found no risks of concern from ingesting food with glyphosate residues. EPA also found no risks of concern for children entering or playing on residential areas treated with glyphosate.
• No evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in humans. The Agency concluded that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans. EPA considered a significantly more extensive and relevant dataset than the International Agency on the Research for Cancer (/ARC). EPA 's database includes studies submitted to support registration of glyphosate and studies EPA identified in the open literature.

EPA considered a significantly more extensive and relevant dataset than the International Agency on the Research for Cancer (/ARC). EPA's database includes studies submitted to support registration of glyphosate and studies EPA identified in the open literature. For instance, /ARC only considered eight animal carcinogenicity studies while EPA used 15 acceptable carcinogenicity studies.

EPA does not agree with IARC's conclusion that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic to humans."
EPA 's cancer classification is consistent with other international expert panels and regulatory authorities, including the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency, Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority, European Food Safety Authority, European Chemicals Agency, German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority, and the Food Safety Commission of Japan and the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization (FAOIWHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR).

For more information, read the Revised Glyphosate Issue Paper: Evaluation of Carcinogenic Potential.
• No indication that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor. Glyphosate has undergone Tier I screening under EPA 's Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program. Based on all available information, EPA concluded, using a weight-ofevidence approach, that the existing data do not indicate that glyphosate has the potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen or thyroid signaling pathways. [S]
The screening program did not indicate the need for additional testing for glyphosate.

Oak Moth Caterpillar Infestation and Control
Trees in Memorial Park were sprayed with M-pede to treat for Oak Moth caterpillars.

The California oak moth (Phryganidia californica) is a native insect of coastal California.

Oak month caterpillars voraciously feed upon the leaves of our native Coast Live Oak and also some deciduous trees. The tan brown adult moths are commonly seen as they hover around infested trees. They prolifically mate and lay eggs for the next generation of caterpillars. Only the caterpillars feed on oak leaves. Extreme oak worm outbreaks occur approximately every 8-10 years. In the most extreme years, such as the the City experienced in 2007-08, the infestation may lead to severe oak defoliation. During these outbreaks caterpillars are often seen suspended from silk strands, dropping to the ground, and congregating on park benches, drinking fountains, sidewalks or other surfaces. City oak trees have experienced a severe oak moth infestation in 2021 and it continues into 2022.
lmidicloprid injections were used on the majority of City oak trees in 2021. lmidicloprid is taken up by the tree relatively slowly and starts killing chewing insects after a few days.

Injected imidacloprid continues to kill chewing bugs in the tree for up to a year with one injection.

Direct injection of pesticides into the trunk of trees is an environmentally sound and economical way of treating for many kinds of insects that feed on trees. With injection into the circulatory system of a tree, a much lower volume of chemical is needed because it all goes into the tree, as opposed to spraying which deposits pesticide on the ground and adjacent areas for exposure to unintended receptors. Trunk injection is efficient and works fast for insect damage control.
[6]
Aphids Control
Ash trees and magnolia throughout the City experienced aphid infestations. Aphids exude a sticky residue that was causing unpleasant staining and stickiness on sidewalks and other surfaces. The infestation can be detrimental to the health of the tree and can spread to other landscape plants.

The City utilised sprays as well as injections of lmidicloprid for control.

Trilogy is the brand name for a clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil. Neem oil is a naturally occurring pesticide found in seeds from the neem tree. It has been used for hundreds of years to control pests and diseases. Components of neem oil can be found in many products today. These include toothpaste, cosmetics, soaps, and pet shampoos. Neem products do not necessarily provide absolute insect control. However, frequent applications can reduce pest populations dramatically by repelling them and inhibiting their larval development, growth, fertility, mating and egg laying, as well as deterring feeding
Ants and Other Pests
At City Hall and the Veteran's Building Eco-via was applied for ant control. It contains thyme oil and rosemary oil. This next generation National Organic Program (NOP) compliant product is an EPA exempt, FIFRA25-b organic essential oil insecticide.

Products used at the Medical Clinic to control ants were Suspend Polyzone and Onslaught FastCap. Suspend Polyzone contains the active ingredient Deltamethrin. It is an insecticide belonging to the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are the man-made versions of pyrethrins, natural insecticides from chrysanthemum flowers. Onslaught FastCap made of Exponent brand synergist, Esfenvalerate, and Prallethrin, targets multiple insects and can be applied in a number of areas both indoor and outdoor, as well as food areas. The insecticides were chosen for low toxicity and the nature of the importance of a sanitary environment at the Medical Clinic. 2021 RODENT AND INSECT CONTROL
Rats and Mice
For the control of rats and mice, two products (Terad3 Rodenticide Bait and Contrac Blox (bromadiolone) were used around the Veteran's Building and City Hall.

Cholecalciferol is a single feeding rodent bait. Once the rodent eats a lethal dose, their blood calcium begins to rise to a level that is lethal to the rodent. Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin 03, is a type of vitamin D which is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight; it is also found in some foods and is manufactured and sold as a dietary supplement.
[7]
Contrac All Weather Blox was also used on a limited basis. It is a rodenticide containing the single-feeding anticoagulant ingredient, Bromadiolone. Bromadiolone is a potent 2
nd generation anticoagulant rodenticide and can only be purchased and used by pest control professionals in limited areas.

Gophers
Another area of constant effort is in the control of gophers. Gophers can pose a serious threat to turf areas, especially sports fields. Gopher holes in sports fields and parks pose a solemn risk of injury to athletes and park goers. Gophers continue to be a major concern at El Carro and Viola playing fields.

Gophers use their forepaws and incisor teeth to burrow and tunnel into the earth. Plant eaters by nature, they uproot and feed upon plants. Gophers are considered solitary rodents yet dozens can infest an open field if no control program is in place. Gopher mounds are often built in a line, indicative of a deeper tunnel system.

Pocket gophers invade parks, yards and gardens, feeding on many garden crops, ornamental plants, vines, shrubs, and trees. A single gopher can inflict considerable damage in a very short time. Gophers gnaw and damage plastic water lines and irrigation systems. Their tunnels may divert and carry off irrigation water, which leads to soil erosion and inefficient water use. Mounds on turf areas interfere with mowing equipment and collapsing tunnels can create tripping and injury hazards. Sports fields suffer extensive damage when gopher infestations occur. It is unclear if plant stress from lack of winter rains has worsened the damage to sports field due to gophers. One theory postulates that irrigated turf areas are attractive to gophers as moist soils have more succulent root systems required for food. Non irrigated areas surrounding the sports fields may be unable to support gopher
populations so the animals migrate to greener
pastures.

The California Fish and Wildlife Code
classifies pocket gophers as non-game
mammals. This means that if a gopher is
causing property damage you can control
them at any time and in any legal manner.

The City used carbon dioxide gas in 2021 to
help with gopher control. Carbon dioxide
(chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with
a density about 53% higher than that of dry air.

Because of its higher density, it settles into
gopher tunnels and displaces breathable air
causing suffication. Carbon dioxide, delivered
[8]
with appropriate equipment, meets integrated pest management protocols and has been endorsed by various agencies as 1PM compliant. Carbon dioxide can be found in most carbonated beverages.

SPORTS FIELD MANAGEMENT
The City owns and maintains two parks that have active sport fields. El Carro Park has a dedicated soccer field and two baseball fields that share a common outfield area. This outfield also can be used for soccer play. Similarly, Viola Fields has two soccer fields with complimentary softball infields so that either soccer or softball games may be played there. Both El Carro and Viola Fields are home to youth sports leagues, including Little League and AYSO.

Prior to the adoption of an 1PM policy, the City performed routine cultural care practices that included control of broad leaf weeds with the use of broad leaf herbicide and gophers by trapping and use of some chemical poisons. Broad leaf weeds include such plants as dandelion and clover.

Broadleaf Control
Sometimes broad leaf weeds can be
controlled simply by altering the
cultural practices to favor the grass
plants rather than the weeds. The
cultural controls may include raising
or lowering the mowing height,
changing the frequency of mowing,
lengthening or shortening the period
between irrigations, increasing the
application of fertilizer and aeriation
of the soil to ameliorate compaction.
warranted to gain control of invasive
weeds in the turf areas used for sports.

Clover is the primary broad leaf that is highly established at the City's two sport field parks. A dense infestation of broad leaf weeds, such as clover, will out compete the desired Bermuda grass, but does not stand up to the rigors of sports play. As the turf weakens, the weeds will readily invade the open areas that remain.

Due to the continuing growth of non-turf invasive weeds in the sports fields, staff continues the recommendation of using broadleaf control herbicides to improve turf conditions. All applications will be made by licensed professionals using all appropriate measures to avoid unintended contamination of people, pets and or non-targeted plants.

This method of turf weed control is being used by many other agencies to control weeds in sports fields.
[9]
A combination of proper cultural practices plus prudent use of chemical is sometimes necessary to control weeds effectively in turf.

Another sports field management issue that is problematic is when less effective herbicides are not available is the encroachment of turf into the softball and baseball infields. Properly maintained ball diamonds are necessary to ensure player safety as well as fairness in the sport. Inconsistent infields and base paths not only cause the ball to bounce erratically, but may also trip up players. Turf that has encroached into the "skinned" area, must be removed.

Mechanical removal is the only alternative way to accomplish the elimination of turf that has encroached as green list herbicides are not effective in these instances. Costs to perform mechanical removal are higher but are very
effective.

Mulching
Using
mulch is
a good
park,
garden
and right
of way maintenance practice. The
benefits include:
• Reduces weed growth
thereby reducing the need for herbicides or mowing.
• Holds in soil moisture and conserves water.
• Helps to keep the root zone temperatures at a beneficial level. • Organic mulch such as wood chips adds nutrition as it breaks down.

The City continues to stockpile wood chip mulch at Carpinteria City Hall generated from municipal tree trimming operations. This material is made available to the public for free and also used for park and right-of-way uses. The general guidelines for the free pick up and use is that the material is for residential use.

In 2021, truckloads of wood chip mulch have been utilized in most city parks such as the Carpinteria Garden Park, Monte Vista Park, Heath Ranch Park, Seaside Park,Tomol Interpretive Play Area and El Carro Park. The mulching efforts continue throughout the city.
[10]
Carpinteria Garden Park
The Carpinteria Garden Park is a great
success. Over one hundred
households rent garden beds that
mandate organic culture. Garden
Coordinator, Wendy Robins, works
directly with the community and garden
members to prevent pests before they
occur by emphasizing soil and plant
health as preventative care. For
example, aphids can be washed off of
plants with the water spray of a garden
hose.

The Garden Park continues to generate its own compost which is used to amend garden beds, ensuring that rich soil provides plants with healthy defenses against insect pests. In addition, the cultivation of many "insectary" plants (plants especially attractive to beneficial insects) provides a robust ecosystem of insects that feed on common garden pests such as aphids, scale, and white flies.

Bat houses have also been installed at the garden to demonstrate an effort to control invasive insects. Installing a bat house on your property can provide a safe environment for bats, while protecting your yard from pest insects, like mosquitoes, moths, and beetles
Beyond direct support for community gardeners, the Carpinteria Garden Park continues to host classes throughout the year on integrated pest management and related topics which are free and open to the public. These classes include information on organic pest management, building soil fertility for preventative care, and building pollinator and beneficial insect gardens for biodiversity.

In addition, the Garden Park has expanded its outreach work with the local school system and People's Self-Help Housing (PSHH). Community garden members now maintain an organic vegetable garden at Carpinteria Middle School, host school garden tours for elementary and middle school students, work with Carpinteria High School's Agriculture Department, and host an after-school bi-weekly program for PSHH residents ages 6 to 12.

CONCLUSIONS

1. Use of manual methods to remove rodents and weeds continues to be the first line of defense. Mulching has proven to reduce weed infestation. [11]

2. With gophers, the challenge continues to be in keeping up with the population that can invade from adjacent properties. CO2 treatment being currently used in 2021 has been helpful but complete control has not been attained.

3. The sports fields that endure high levels of use are more difficult to manage as broad leaf weeds can out compete the grass and is less durable in high use.

Cultural care practices to reduce weed infestation have been implemented but continue with marginal results.

4. Turf areas used for sports continue to degrade with weed infestations causing unsafe field conditions and poor quality of play. Use of a broadleaf control herbicide and fertilizer was applied in 2021 in an attempt to restore the fields to a healthy turf condition. Better cultural practices have helped the health of the turf.

SB 1227 (J;ggman D) Involuntary commitment: intensive treatment.

Under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, when a person, as a result of a mental health disorder, is a danger to others, or to themselves, or gravely disabled, the person may, upon probable cause, be taken into custody and placed in a facility designated by the county and approved by the State Department of Health Care Services for up to 72 hours for evaluation and treatment.

Under existing law, if a person is detained for 72 hours under those provisions, and has received an evaluation, the person may be certified for not more than 14 days of intensive treatment, as specified. Current law further authorizes a person to be certified for an additional period of not more than 30 days of intensive treatment if the person remains gravely disabled and is unwilling or unable to accept treatment voluntarily. Current law requires the person to be released at the end of the 30 days, except under specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, when the patient is subject to a conservatorship petition filed pursuant to specified provisions. Existing law requires an evaluation to be made when a gravely disabled person may need to be detained beyond the initial 14-day period, as to whether the person is likely to qualify for appointment of a conservator, and, if so, requires that referral to be made, as specified. This bill would authorize the professional person in charge of the facility providing intensive treatment to the person to file a petition in the superior court for the county in which the facility is located, seeking approval for up to an additional 30 days of intensive treatment.

Current law also permits variances to be granted from the parking requirements of a zoning ordinance for nonresidential development if the variance will be an incentive to the development and the variance https:/ /ctweb.capitoltrack. com/public/publish .aspx?session=21 &id= 75ad4892- 7fec-4a46-b 7 a2-23ec260b0c0c 6/13 7/20/22, 9:28 AM https:/ /ctweb. ca pitoltrack. com/public/publish. aspx?session=21 &id= 7 5ad4892- 7fec-4a46-b 7 a2-23ec260b0c0c will facilitate access to the development by patrons of public transit facilities. This bill would prohibit a public agency, in a county with a population of 600,000 or more, from imposing or enforcing a minimum automobile parking requirement, on any of specified residential, commercial, or other development types if the project is located within 1/2 mile of public transit, as defined. The bill would also prohibit a public agency, in a county with a population of less than 600,000, and a city with a population of 75,000 or more, from imposing or enforcing a minimum automobile parking requirement on specified residential, commercial, or other development types if the project is located within 1/4 mile of public transit. For a city with a population of less than 75,000, or a county with a population of less than 600,000, the bill would authorize that city or county to adopt an ordinance or resolution that applies certain prohibitions regarding the above-described parking requirements within its boundaries. When a project provides parking voluntarily, the bill would authorize a public agency to impose specified requirements on the voluntary parking.

The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. Current law requires that the housing element include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable and available for residential development. If the inventory of sites does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of all households pursuant to specified law, existing law requires the local government to rezone sites within specified time periods and that this rezoning accommodate 100% of the need for housing for very low and low-income households on sites that will be zoned to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right for specified developments. This bill, the Neighborhood Homes Act, would deem a housing development project, as defined, an allowable use on a parcel that is within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, if the development and site meet specified requirements, including that the site is not adjacent to an industrial use or agricultural use. The bill would require the density for a housing development under these provisions to meet or exceed the density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households according to the type of local jurisdiction, including a density of at least 20 units per acre for a suburban jurisdiction. The bill would require the housing development to meet all other local requirements, other than those that prohibit residential use, or allow residential use at a lower density than that required by the bill.

The Planning and Zoning Law, authorizes a local agency, by ordinance or ministerial approval, to provide for the creation of accessory dwelling units in areas zoned for residential use, as specified. Current law authorizes a local agency to impose standards on accessory dwelling units that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, and maximum size of a unit. This bill would require that the standards imposed on accessory dwelling units be objective.

For purposes of this requirement, the bill would define "objective standard" as a standard that involves no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable, as specified. The bill would also prohibit a local agency from denying an application for a permit to create an accessory dwelling unit due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the accessory dwelling unit.
