Applicants and their agents before the City Council are subject to the campaign disclosure provisions detailed in Government Code Section 84308. No City Council Member may accept, solicit, or direct a contribution of more than $250 from any party or agent for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered by the City. This prohibition commences when an application has been filed, or the proceeding is otherwise initiated.

A party to a City proceeding—which includes both applicants and agents—shall disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution of more than $250 made to any Council Member by the applicant or agent, during the preceding 12 months. No party to a City proceeding, or agent, shall make a contribution to a Council Member during the proceeding and for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered by the City.

Prior to rendering a decision on a City proceeding, any Council Member who received contribution of more than $250 within the preceding 12 months from any party, or agent, to a proceeding shall disclose that fact on the record of the proceeding, and shall be disqualified from participating in the proceeding. However, if any Council Member receives a contribution that otherwise would require disqualification, and returns the contribution within 30 days of knowing about the contribution and the relevant proceeding, the Council Member shall be permitted to participate in the proceeding. If you believe that these provisions apply to you or a Council Member, please inform the City Clerk at the earliest possible opportunity.

WHEREAS, Mr. Pricket named the theatre The Alcazar Theatre, a name borrowed from an old castle in Spain; Mr. Pricket referred to his new theatre, "as strong as the cliff of Gibraltar"; and WHEREAS, this theatre has survived the many proprietors and name changes over the years and has provided decades of entertainment to the Carpinteria Valley community, serving mainly as a movie theater; and
WHEREAS, MGM Studios brought its lion in a big rolling cage for all to admire at The Alcazar Theatre and many known and unknown artists graced the theatre's stage over the years including Judy Garland and her sister in the late 1930s; and
WHEREAS, in 2000, Metropolitan Theatres moved into town and after a much needed remodel the theatre opened and operated for six years before approaching Carpinteria Community Theatre Inc. to take over; and
WHEREAS, with help from a local contractor and other volunteers, and partnering with another community organization, the theatre opened its doors for its first concert on December 10, 201 O; and WHEREAS, from then on, the Theatre has become a place for young and old to enjoy a multifold venue of the performing arts and entertainment which is completely run by volunteer efforts; and
WHEREAS, over the years, the theatre has been able to offer classes on improvisation and drama, hosted community events, and opened the stage to schools and private celebrations; and WHEREAS, the Theatre received the Outstanding Community Partner award for outstanding service and contribution to the Carpinteria community in 2017; and WHEREAS, this theatre is once again called The Alcazar Theatre, a gem of a theatre that Carpinterians can call their own.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Carpinteria recognizes and celebrates the 96 th Anniversary of The Alcazar Theater.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the Mayor hereunto set their hand and caused the official seal of the City of Carpinteria, California, to be affixed this 22

Motion by Councilmember Nomura, seconded by Councilmember Solórzano, to direct staff to amend the City’s live entertainment provisions in order to accommodate outdoor music following the expiration of the City’s temporary COVID program. Upon voice vote, the motion carried unanimously.

Community Development Director Bobroff noted the following changes from the Council related to the Administrative Entertainment License Conditions:
• 9 pm curfew on weekdays (for both indoor and outdoor music) • 10 pm curfew on weekends and holidays (still some uncertainty on whether holidays is the day before, the day of or both)
• Not going to rely on any decibel or distance type standards for now • Cap of no more than six hours cumulatively of live music on weekdays and no more than 9 hours on weekends with the similar holiday language • Doing away with the three-strike rule for revocation of license and instead rely on the City’s administrative citation powers
City Manager Ramirez sought clarification on whether the cumulative number of hours for the weekdays and weekends was specific to outdoor music or indoor music. The Council specified outdoor music.

Motion by Councilmember Solórzano, seconded by Councilmember Lee, to direct staff to incorporate the changes noted by the Council related to the Administrative License Conditions. Upon voice vote, the motion carried unanimously.

City Manager Ramirez discussed the nuances between using the word “enclosed” versus “indoors”. The City Council decided to leave it to staff to determine the exact language.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:

Councilmember Solórzano requested a list of letters sent by the Council in the past year.

Councilmember Nomura suggested staff create a separate list of upcoming bills of interest from the League of California Cities that specifically affect Carpinteria versus the others that would have minimal to no impact.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
April 22, 2024

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 is 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 (Attachment A)

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

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Cash Statement: On March 31, 2024, 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
$ 20,560,251.69
3,130,100.66
(4,165,343.15)
$ 19,525,009.20
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 security matures, changes in its value become less sensitive to market rate changes.

As of March 31, 2024, the portfolio's average days to maturity was 2.10 years, the average coupon rate was 2.09%, the average yield to maturity was 4.83%, the par value was $10,750,000 and the Market Value was $10,346,406.43.

The City does not intend to sell nor does it have any foreseeable need to sell any securities. The City's investment policy intends 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 listing 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 October 1, 2024. \\COCSH\GDrive\Admin Services\Bank Reconciliations\Treasury\City Treasurer's report.docx Monthly City Treasurer's Report

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
APRIL 22, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Quarterly Review of Pension Stabilization Trust.

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

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Pension Stabilization Trust is to accumulate, hold, and distribute pension plan assets for the exclusive benefit of retiree pensions within the meaning of IRS Code Section 115. Plan assets are irrevocable and may not be used for any purpose other than the purpose of the Trust. Withdrawal of plan assets is not permitted except to transfer to another trust or to reimburse the City for pension costs paid.

The City's primary objective in establishing the Pension Trust is to control long-term costs and volatility in the annual operating budget. The trust provides more flexibility for the City to both level out contributions and mitigate year-to-year contribution volatility.

Plan contributions transfer assets to the Trust, and accordingly, plan assets are not carried on the City's books and are not subject to the City's investments policy.

Discretionary Trustee Benefit Trust Company (BTC), with the advice of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Consulting Group, actively manages plan assets consistent with the Investment Policy Statement. The City's individual trust account is part of a larger Multiple Employer Trust administered by Keenan Financial Services and BTC, referred to as the California Public Entity Pension Stabilization Trust. BTC also provides the City with monthly, quarterly (attached), and annual statements of activity of the City's account. The Pension Stabilization Trust utilizes a Board of Authority that provides management and oversight of the Trust with participation by one individual per public Quarterly Review of the Pension Stabilization Trust

agency. The fees are asset-based, paid monthly, deducted directly from the Trust account, and totaled 30 bps
1 annually. This is competitive with other comparable plans.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This matter concerns actions aimed at improving the City's long-term financial position and is consistent with the City's fiduciary responsibilities and goal to deliver services that meet community needs efficiently and effectively.

The purpose of this quarterly review is to report the portfolio summary of the City of Carpinteria Pension Stabilization Trust account.

I have been a manufactured home owner in Sandpiper village for 25 years.

Previous to moving to Carpinteria, I worked in a condo
association in California for 14 years in the positions of bookkeeper, secretary and manager.

Shortly before moving to Carpinteria, I retired.

Currently president of the Sandpiper Chapter of GSMOL, and have been in that position for about 14 of the last 15 years.

Currently treasurer of Sandpiper Homeowners Association.

Have also served as president and secretary at various times over the last ten years.

In 2018 I was lead chair on a Sandpiper Committee that met with our park owners where we negotiated a 15 percent reduction of our space rents with a three-year freeze. (John Nicoli was on that committee) With John's and GSMOL's efforts, this led to the passage of AB2782 which amended MAL 798.17 by eliminating an exemption loophole which allowed leases of more than one year to be exempt from rent control.

My years of experience in both management as well as resident positions makes me a good candidate for a position on the RSO board. I understand the board is currently understaffed, and it is important that we have a fully staffed and functional board.

Please note that I will be out of town from March z= through March 26

General Plan Elements and lmplementation
This section of the Annual Progress Report discusses specific projects and policies that demonstrate the implementation of the goals detailed in the General plan during the 2023 calendar year. The 2023 Work Plan Status Presentation is attached as Exhibit 4.

LAND USE ELEMENT
The Land Use Element establishes the type and density of land uses and guides growth and development by presenting a plan that reflects the community's desire to maintain and enhance an enjoyable, balanced quality of life. The City's Land Use Map identifies specified land use areas, including Agriculture, Residential, Commercial, lndustrial and Open Space/Recreation. Decisionmaking bodies, such as the Architectural Review Board and the Planning Commission, rely on Land Use Element policies during the discretionary development review process. This basic tenet is expressed in the community's central goal for the General Plan as stated at the beginning of this report.

Key Objectives
* Obiective [U-.1; Establish the basis for orderly, well planned urban development while protecting coastal resources and providing for greater access and recreational opportunities for the public.
* Obiective LU-2: Protect the natural environment within and surrounding Carpinteria. * objective [U-3; Preserve the small beach town character of the built environment of Carpinteria, encouraging compatible revitalization and avoiding sprawl development at the city's edge.
* Obiective LU-4: lnJluence land use decision making, use and development patterns in the unincorporated Carpinteria Valleyto be supportive of the California CoastalAct and City objectives to preserve unique coastal resources by establishing open-field agricultural use as the predominant use in the unincorporated Valley.
* Obiective [U-5; Maintain availability of agriculture, coastal -dependent industry and visitor-serving commercial development including hotels/motels, restaurants and commercial recreation uses.
* Obiective LU-6: Create flexible land use and zoning standards for general commercial and industrial parcels that allow opportunities for residential use to expand, as determined appropriate by the City, in response to changing needs relative to the jobs/housing 8lPage
balance locally and in the region, and as incentive toward the development of affordable housing.
* Objective LIJ-7: Adopt and amend as necessary a Sphere of lnfluence that serves to establish the basis for annexation of certain land contiguous to city limits. a
Lond Use - 2023 lmplementotion Summory
a The ordinance for Accessorv Dwellins Units/Ju ior Accpssorv Dwellin s LJnits was completed. The City Council reviewed the final draft September of 2022 and authorized transmittal to the Coastal Commission. The Coastal Commission approved the program in December of 2022.|t returned to the City Council in January for final approval of the ordinance and it was unanimously approved. The ordinance became effective at the end of February. Amendments are ongoing to conform to the most recent ADU laws adopted by the state legislature.

Formula Business Regulations: Regulations limiting the operation of formula businesses within the City were initiated in May 2022 and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission in December 2022.ln February 2023, the Council approved the Ordinance upon a first reading and adopted the Ordinance on a second reading in July 2023 following certification by the California Coastal Commission. a Anti-Displacement Lesislation: ln May 2023,the City Council initiated a series of Ordinance amendments intended to help protect existing workforce rental housing, including but not limited to, enhanced just-cause tenant eviction protections and strengthened regulations for short-tern vacation rentals. ln September 2023, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance 770 establishing just-cause tenant eviction protections. Work on the related anti-displacement legislative items will continue into the upcoming years.

Ongoing lmplementation
Carpinteria strives to participate with the County of Santa Barbara in the land use planning process and review of development projects within the Carpinteria Valley. Likewise, the City provides notification to the County when development is proposed adjacent to the City's boundaries. This same process applies to local special districts whose district boundaries include both incorporated and unincorporated lands in the Carpinteria Valley.

Adjustments to Carpinteria's identified Sphere of lnfluence were made in 2003, 2009, and 2015. ln 2009, the Coastal Commission certified an amendment to the Local Coastal Program to rezone one property to allow the development of 34 condominiums on Cravens Lane. The project served 9lPage
as a transition between more urbanized residential development within the City to the south of the site and a more rural area within the County of Santa Barbara jurisdiction to the north. The property was annexed into the City by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in 2009. ln 2015, two agricultural parcels were removed from the City's Sphere of lnfluence to protect future agricultural uses of the sites as a condition of approval for a highway widening project that resulted in unavoidable impacts to other agricultural lands within the City. ln addition, a correction was made to the Sphere of lnfluence to remove a portion of a parcel which was believed to have been included in error.

During the 2023 calendar year, the City engaged in the County's land use planning process as it related to a proposed high density residential project on the City's border, just outside of the designated urban/rural boundary, and several contemplated rezones of agricultural lands to high density residential zoning as part of the County's Housing Element update. The City's participation emphasized its concern with potential development that could erode the protective greenbelt of agricultural and rural development surrounding the City meant to concentrate urban development within City boundaries. Both of these efforts remain ongoing in 2024. l0 lPage

Community Design - 2023 lmplementation Summary
Downtown Design Guidelines: Efforts to develop Downtown Design Guidelines has been initiated and is ongoing. Staff is reviewing the latest working draft submitted by the consultants in October.

Proiect Review:The Architectural Review Board (ARB)evaluated 22 separate projects in2O23, which included reviewing the design for proposals to improve commercial and residential properties as well proposals for new residentialand mixed use developments. The commercial improvement projects received favorable recommendations, including projects to improve two prominent downtown properties and to comprehensively re-landscape a visitor-serving property on the west end of Carpinteria Avenue.

Ongoing lmplementation
On every project that is reviewed, City decision makers apply the unique community design standards applicable to the neighborhood. The Architectural Review Board, Community Development Department staff and Planning Commission consider these design standards in their review of projects on a case-by-case basis to maintain and enhance the quality of Carpinteria's streetscape.

The City Council created a new ad hoc committee in 20L9 to make recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on a strategy, tasks, and a schedule for creating polices and regulations capable of reducing uncertainty as a part of the City's development review decision-making process. lt is envisioned that the Committee's recommendation to the Planning Commission and Council could include new form-based codes and zoning overlays in addition to recommending modifications to the City's Neighborhood Design Guidelines. The committee's work is ongoing.

The City adopted design guidelines for the Beach Neighborhood (2012) and the Concha Loma Neighborhood (2OL4), establishing standards to guide future development in these neighborhoods. Design guidelines for other neighborhoods is being planned for in the future.

The City conducts meetings with the local agencies regarding development to ensure that adequate consideration is made for the concerns raised by new development. Through these lnter-Departmental Agency Group (IDAG) meetings, projects are reviewed in their early stages to anticipate concerns and issues which may impact their design or eventual build-out.

Development proposals are transmitted to the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District for recommendations relating to fire safety. These recommendations are incorporated into a master set of conditions required for the approval of a project. 13 lPage

Ongoing lmplementation
The City has coordinated with Caltrans and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) on several projects to improve freeway accessibility and circulation throughout the community. Significant Highway 1-01 improvement projects have been completed, including the following: (1) Hieh-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes and freeway pavement; {2) bridges over Franklin Creek and Santa Monica Creek; (3) sound walls; (4) drainage improvements; (5) intersection improvements at Santa Monica Road and Via Real; (6) Linden Avenue - Casitas pass Road interchanges; the (7) Via Real extension; and (8) Class L bike path improvements.

Carpinteria aims to provide a balanced transportation network with consistent designations and standards for roadways that will provide for the safe and efficient movement of goods and people throughout the community. With new development, the City works to improve circulation and enhance safe and efficient traffic patterns.

The City supports various forms of alternative transportation, including bike, bus, van-pool, and train, to serve the wide variety of needs of both residents and visitors. The City aims to encourage and develop safe, direct and well-maintained bicycle and pedestrian systems that serve all segments of the public and serve to connect residential areas, schools, parks and shopping areas.

The City strives to provide safe mobility for those with access and functional needs through the design of street improvements and public facilities, provide continuous sidewalks in priority locations for safe pedestrian circulation and promote alternative transportation.

The City continues planning efforts to complete the Alternative Transportation plan, which would guide and influence bikeway and pedestrian policies and programs to make the bicycling and walking experience for residents and visitors safe, convenient and enjoyable.

Paratransit services, like HELP, and Easy-1ift, are provided to aid community members with access and functional needs. Circulation Element policies are implemented through these services that provide alternatives to traditional automobile transportation. These forms of alternative transportation also improve access to coastal resources such as local beaches and city parks.

Street maintenance projects are an ongoing effort for Public Works through their pavement Management Program, which is used to establish baselines and improvement strategies to repair and replace aging street infrastructure over time. As part of this program, the Department conducts city-wide inspections and maintenance analysis. Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation capital improvement projects are ongoing. A multi-year Pavement Management Map was completed in 2020. The map shows existing pavement condition, proposed treatment, and treatment schedule for each street.

Through its contract for law enforcement services with the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department, renewed in 2023, the City conducts traffic safety operations, in particular, at 16lPage
locations where public safety issues related to speeding and other vehicle code violations have been identified.

OPEN SPACE, RECREATION & CONSERVATION ETEMENT

The network would improve coastal access and result in significant bike and pedestrian improvements. The Coastal Vista Trail project is dependent on several key linkages described in more detail in this report. The following are some highlights for particular segments of the network:
r Bluffs ll Reach: The project application for the Bluffs ll reach of the trail was a
submitted to the Planning Department for review and processing in 2o2L and was approved by the Planning commission in 2022 {project# zl-2107- cuP/cDP/ARB; 6155 carpinteria Avenue). The city was awarded a competitive Habitat Conservation Fund grant of S183,OOO from the California Department of Parks and Recreation. This funding will be used to develop and construct the coastal trail segment at Bluffs ll. This segment extends past Viola Park and allows the public to enjoy the incredible views from that section of the Bluffs. The grant is administered by the State Parks Office of Grant and Local Services (OGALS) and funded by California's Wildlife Protection Act of L990 (Proposition 117). This grant requires matching funds and the City will study possible ways to raise the matching funds through alternative funding sources.

Linden to Hollv Trail: Permits were granted for an interim trail crossing (near 399 Linden Avenue in 2O22.The ect is interim until a decision about proceedin 18lPage

with the Surfliner lnn project is made. The Linden to Ash Avenue segment of the Coastal Trail opened June 2023 and residents and visitors enjoy the open trail.

Rincon Bluffs Preserve: A public workshop was held and concept designs were completed for the 23-acre preserve (previously the Bluffs lll property prior to City acquisition). The preserve permanently protects the property as open space with native habitat and passive public recreational uses. Design and funding for trails in the preserve are ongoing. The Request for Proposals (RFP)to prepare the Environmental Report was completed in August 2023 and two qualifying proposals were received.

The City and the Santa Barbara Land Trust decided to place the decision to select the consultant on hold untilthe new Parks and Recreation Department's Director comes on board.

Creekside Parcel Acquisition: The objective is to acquire flood prone real estate located adjacent to Carpinteria Creek. The City was awarded a grant to purchase a

0.51- acre parcel located south of Carpinteria Avenue on the west side of the creek.

The acquisition has been completed. The grant has been successfully closed out.

Dog Park Proiect: A pilot program at El Carro Park was established and an annual report on the program was presented to the City Council. The pilot program was granted a one-year extension. A second report was presented to the City Council in 2023 to help determine continuance options for the program. ln November 2023, the Planning Commission approved a Temporary Use Permit to install an off-leash dog park pilot project at Monte Vista Park. The design of the temporary dog park will be reviewed by the City Council in 2024. The park is estimated to be open by the spring.

A status report would be prepared for the Planning Commission after six months. o Concha Park: The objective of this project is to permit a pocket park in the Concha Loma area nearest the multifamily residential property closest to Carpinteria Avenue.

A concept park design has been prepared. A grant application to the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program was not successful. This project is currently on hold due to lack of funding.
a Communitv Farm Proiect: As a project condition of approval related to a highway widening project, Caltrans was to grant an agricultural property to the City and help fund the development of an agricultural education program. Title to the 2.75-acre property has been transferred to the City. Use of the land is restricted to agricultural use in perpetuity. The objective is to develop a long-term viable agricultural use with public benefit. Since taking ownership, the City has been maintaining the orchard and harvesting the crops. The concrete fence has been put on hold temporarily. a Skate Park Plannins: The Skate Park construction was com pleted in August 2023 and secured a tem Certificate of Occu a until the installation of a rmanent 19 lPage
electrical pedestal has been completed. The grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony took place August 24,2023. A municipal code amendment to the skate park rules was approved by the City Council on September 1L, 2023 to allow for non-motorized scooters to use the park. The permanent pedestal is expected to be delivered to the City in February of 2024, and installation of the permanent electrical pedestal is expected to be completed before June 2024.
a Linden Beach Plaza and Lifesuard Tower: The objective of this project is to improve coastal access, ADA compliance, emergency response, bicycle and pedestrian use and general ambiance of the Linden Ave street end. lt is a cooperative project between the City and California State Parks. A grant has been awarded to construct the portion of the project on State Park property. A survey has been prepared and preliminary design of the project has begun. The preliminary plans are under review by the City and State Parks prior to submittal of a permit application. There have been several meetings in 2023 to coordinate the details of the project. The preliminary plans will be updated to address comments from the meetings.
o Park and Plaveround lmorovement Proiects: Construction for a new playground at Heath Ranch Park was completed and has since been reopened. A purchase order was issued to replace the playground at Monte Vista Park. The installation of the new playground at Monte Vista was completed in June 2oz3.lt has been a great improvement to the park and it has been very well received by the community. a Rincon Multi-Use Trai I Proiect This project would construct a dedicated multi-use path connecting the City of Carpinteria to Rincon Beach Park, providing safe access that avoids the UPR railroad corridor and Highway 10L. preparation of plans, specifications and estimate are well underway. A draft Environmental lmpact Report has been completed. Following an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the project and EIR in 2022, a year-long public outreach campaign with stakeholders was completed to identify and study project alternatives. The results of the outreach effort were presented to the Council in May 2023 wherein the Council affirmed their support for the proposed project alignment. Continued work on the project has been placed on hold until the new Parks and Recreation Department Director comes on board and additional funding is secured.

Ongoing lmplementation
The City operates approximately 100 acres of parkland and open space. Each park is unique, but most offer some visitor amenities such as picnic facilities, restrooms, ball fields or children's play structures. Ongoing use of the City's fields for adult and youth soccer, softball and baseball remains in high demand as these activities are very important to the local and visiting community.

The Parks and Recreation Department continues to conduct a variety of pool and ocean recreation programs for youth and adults.

The City's Creeks Preservation Program provides a framework for implementing various projects to achieve the community's watershed protection goals. A number of restoration projects along Carpinteria Creek have been accomplished over years as a result of effort.

Through protection of local creek resources and improvements to infrastructure, like creek crossings and bridges, along with efforts of other local agencies like the Carpinteria Creek Watershed Coalition, the County's Agricultural Commissioner, and many volunteer organizations, the City has implemented both habitat protections and improved public access to areas of natural priority. Ongoing work related to the replacement of the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge over Carpinteria Creek and bridge replacements related to the Highway lOL widening projects continue to make progress towards enhancements of City creeks.

The City continues to conduct water quality monitoring in partnership with the cities of Goleta, Buellton, and Solvang and the County of Santa Barbara. All monitoring was done in accordance with the Phase ll MS4 Permit 3030(d) Monitoring Plan, approved by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. A report is submitted annually to the State Water Board.

The City is continually looking for opportunities to acquire undeveloped property within or adjacent to Carpinteria Creek. ln doing so, Carpinteria can preserve important riparian habitat, reduce urban runoff into the creek and maintain an undeveloped riparian corridor for aesthetic and wildlife movement purposes, as well as for contributing to ocean water quality.

The Parks and Recreation Department continues efforts to realize completion of the Coastal Vista Trail, a City-wide hiking/biking trail system. The long-term goal is a trail for walking or biking that would connect Rincon County Beach, the Rincon Bluffs Preserve, the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, Tar Pits Park, Carpinteria State Beach Park, the City's Salt Marsh Park, and Santa Claus Lane. The City envisions a network of trails that would connect northern beaches to the town, improve coastal access and result in significant bike and pedestrian improvements. The Coastal Vista Trail project is dependent on several key linkages detailed below:

FEMA Updates: The City has been working with FEMA on proposed updates to flood maps for the Carpinteria area. Preliminary flood insurance rates and flood insurance study updates are expected to be issued by FEMA in early 2024. a
Ongoing lmplementation
Through the development review and environmental review process, the City ensures that development meets the standards set forth in the Safety Element. The Building & Safety Department ensures that new construction or retrofit projects are done to meet current safety requirements and that the necessary geotechnical studies are conducted when appropriate.

The City plans and administers preparedness and response programming for alltypes of humanmade and natural disasters that may occur within the City and surrounding areas. City staff actively serve on county-wide committees that facilitate the coordination of disaster planning and response efforts, maintain and update City-wide emergency plans, conduct disaster preparedness and response trainings and exercises for City staff and residents, and participate in other activities that enhance the City's and residents' ability to prepare for and respond to disasters and emergencies.
ln 2018, the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) released updated flood maps depicting the 100-year flood plain and the Flood lnsurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Carpinteria.

This updated map clarifies what properties are in the flood zone and are therefore required to obtain flood insurance and comply with minimum finish floor elevations to avoid flooding impacts to new development. Through the permit review process, development has been required to 24lP age
meet minimum standards that meet or exceed anticipated flood levels to reduce risk and potential loss of life and structure due to flood hazards. The City continues to work with FEMA to ensure the FIRMs are updated and accurate.

NOISE ELEMENT
Carpinteria is affected by several different sources of noise, including automobile and railtraffic, agricultural and industrial activity, ocean waves and wind, and periodic nuisances such as construction, loud parties or other events. The Noise Element identifies these sources and provides goals and policies that ensure that noise from these sources does not create an unacceptable noise environment. The City believes that controlling noise sources can substantially improve the quality of life for residents as well as visitors to the City.

Key Objectives
* Objective N-.1; The City will minimize noise impacts of Highway 101 traffic on residential and other sensitive land uses.

Ongoing lmplementation
Noise impacts are evaluated during public improvement projects and the development review process. Site-specific noise studies provide recommendations for construction techniques that will mitigate noise impacts for development near Highway 101. Similarly, for highway improvement projects, noise studies are used to develop mitigation measures to ensure that new traffic patterns or increased traffic volumes will not significantly affect nearby residents.

The Public Works Department replaces worn or deteriorating asphalt roads with rubberized asphalt to reduce street noise from vehicle traffic. The City analyzes the location of industrial and commercial truck access on properties adjacent to residential areas and makes recommendations during site planning to mitigate noise spillover onto sensitive uses.

Through the Code Compliance Division, City staff also responds to noise complaints from neighbors located near commercial or industrial operations. Through amendments to the Municipal Code, the City has placed limitations on the days and hours during which construction may occur in order to protect sensitive land uses. ln addition, the Municipal Code grants the Community Development Director and Planning Commission authority to impose more restrictive construction hours as a condition for approval on permits.

PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ETEMENT
Local government supplies essential public services, provides for the general welfare of the community and implements regulations in the interest of public health and safety. Preparing for and planning how to accomplish these tasks is addressed in the Public Facilities and Services Element. The Element evaluates the major public and private services and facilities in the Carpinteria Planning Area and includes policies and objectives to plan for future needs.

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, Community Development Department staff prepares an annual.report to the City Council on the status of the General Plan and its Elements, and the progress being made in implementation of the General Plan's respective goals and programs. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report ("Report") provides an opportunity to review activities and projects of the prior year in the areas of housing development and other programs that implement the City;s Housing Element. The City's Housing Element identifies the community's housing needs, and describes how safe, affordable housing can be provided and maintained for City residents. lncluded in this Report are statistics demonstrating progress in meeting the city's Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA") ailoca[ion, The 2023-2031 Housing Element was finalized and re-adopted by Resolution No. 6288 by the city council on January 22,2024. The re-adopted Housing Element was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development ('HCD') for final certification on Janua ry 24, 2024. Despite acknowledgment that the City's re-adopted Housing Element met all statutory requirements for approval, HCD staff declined to certifo the City's Housing Element since the City was not on track to gomplete its required rezones, to meet its RHNA shortfall, by the statutory deadline on February 15,2A24. Thus, the City remains out of compliance with Housing Element Law until the City Council approves the rezones that are generally described in the Housing Element.

Nevertheless, the City has prepared the annual progress report for the 2023 calendar year reporting on the City's progress on implementation of the respective 2023-2031 Housing Element programs, including but not limited to, meeting its RHNA targets. 2A23 Housing Highlights
On February 22,2023, the City's updated Accessory Dwelling Unit ("ADU") and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit ("JADU") Ordinance went into effect. Throughout the remainder of the year, 20 Coastal Development applications were submitted for A-DUs. Of the 20 ADU applications received, 16 were approved in 2A23 and eight received building permits in 2423. One ADU completed construction and received the first ADU Certificate of Occupancy on 91712023. Additionally, four building permit applications were received for JADUs, and two of those building permits were issued in 2023.

Additionally, four other residential project applications were submitted and deemed complete for processing in 2A23. These applications included a mix of housing types. Two of the applications were for new single-family dwellings, one was for a mixed-use.project consisting of commercial space and 24 apartment units (21 market rate and 3 low-income), and one was for a mixed-use project with a 99-room resort and 4l apartment units (1 manager unit and 40 very-low- and low-income units), The proposed projects, if permitted and constructed, would result in 67 new housing units in the City of Carpinteria.

Applications for an additional '165 housing units were also submitted in 2O23 and will be reported on in future annual reports once deemed complete for processing.

2023 Housing Element AnnualProgress Report
ln summary, 10 building permits were issuedin2O23 for new residential unats in the City of Carpinteria, all of which were for ADUs or JADUs. One ADU was completed and received its Certificate of Occupancy in 2O23.

The City continues to provide various forms of assistance to increase housing opportunities in Carpinteria, ln 2023, staff continued to implement the Workforce Housing Down Payment Loan Program. The program was first funded by a2011 Development Agreement that allowed the conversion of five above-moderate affordable residential units at Lavender Court into a payment of $571,000 to the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Like an in-lieu fee, the funds have since been used to provide down payment loans for families purchasing homes in the City of Carpinteria. During 2A23, two new loans were funded through this Program and one loan was repaid. Staff continues to work with the Housing Trust Fund of Santa Barbara County to find interested buyers looking to use the deferred repayment loans to buy homes in Carpinteria.

The City also continues to participate in Santa Barbara County's Home for Good program with the regional Creative Housing Solutions Subcommittee, a working group composed of representatives from the County Housing Authority, People's Self-Help Housing Corporation, Home for Good, United Way, and City staff, along with the local community, to identity and pursue innovative housing opportunities. Starting in 2023, in partnership with New Beginnings, the City launched its first "safe parking program" to provide safe overnight shelter and rapid rehousing programs for families and individuals living in their vehicles.
ln May 2023, the City initiated an "anti-displacement" legislative package, which includes a series of proposed Municipal Code amendments intended to protect existing rental housing stock, encourage production of additional rental housing, and protect rental housing affordability. ln October 2O23, the City successfully completed adoption of the first piece of the legislative package through adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 770, which established 'Just cause" tenant eviction protections. Additional efforts related to the "antidisplacement" package will continue in the coming years.

Housinq Element Review
The Housing Element is organized into two sections that describe the goals and objectives of the City in addressing the community's housing needs. The Housing Element also includes TechnicalAppendices with detailed information to document compliance with applicable Government Code requirements. Section 2 of the Housing Element is organized by the five primary program categories which are to be implemented during the 2023-2031 planning period. The document also contains a Housing Element lmplementation Plan which describes 18 specific programs the City will implement to realize the goals of the Housing Element. This report explains the housing programs and goals, and the progress the City made to implement them throughoul2023.

The City maintains an inventory that details the amount, type and size of vacant parcels to assist developers in identifying land suitable for residential development. The City also reports on the number of extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income units constructed annually. The City also works with developers to ensure that appropriate lot densities are used when planning new development.

Having identified insufficient existing capacity under existing zoning to meet the City's entire RHNA allocation (see Table ll-1, above), the City initiated efforts in 2023 to rezone sufficient properties to meet its RHNA shortfall. The City also committed to studying, and where appropriate, amending existing residential development standards, such as building height and/or parking, to accommodate increased densities and new housing unit production. These efforts will continue into 2024.

The past year saw the final adoption and effectuation of the City's updated Accessory Dwelling Unit ("ADU") and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit ("JADU") regulations (Ordinance No. 758) in February 2023. The City also successfully completed and launched its ADU prototype plans program in July 2023, consisting of two pre-designed ADU plan sets made available to the public at no cost. Following effectuation of Ordinance No. 758,20 Coastal Development applications were submitted for ADUs for calendar year 2023, Of the 20 ADU applications received, 16 were approved in2023 and eight received building permits in 2023. One ADU completed construction and received the first ADU Ceftificate of Occupancy on 91712023. Additionally, four building permit applications were received for JADUs, and two of those building permits were issued in 2023. Several of the ADUs applied for, to date, have utilized the pre-designed plans provided by the City; the first of which is expected to be completed in early 2A24.
ln 2023, one new residential unit received its Certificate of Occupancy, as summarized in Table I below. Ten building permits were issued in 2A23 for new residential units. These building permits are summarized in Table ll below. These tables do not include the previously discussed 67 new residential units that were deemed complete and accepted for processing in 2023, nor the additional 165 units that were applied lor in 2023, but had not yet been accepted for processing by the end of the year.

The City initiated efforts in 2023 to amend zoning regulations to, among other things, facilitate increased opportunities for infill housing development and mixed-use development in commercial areas of the City. The City Council also initiated an "antidisplacement" legislative package, which includes, but is not limited to, updates to the City's inclusionary housing program and increased protections for rental housing. The first part of the legislative package, adoption of just cause "no fault" tenant eviction protections, was adopted by the Council in October 2A23. These efforts will continue on into 2024, and once fully completed and effectuated, will help to facilitate new housing production with an emphasis on lower-income rental housing, and protecting the City's existing affordable rental housing stock.

To assist the local homeless population, the City participates in the Santa Barbara Continuum of Care, known as Home for Good of Santa Barbara County, and facilitates the Carpinteria Regional Coordination Committee. The Coordination Committee has two subgroups: The Creative Housing Solutions Subcommittee, which identifies opportunities and resources for homeless individuals, and the Coordinated Outreach Team, which makes regular contact with those individuals and attempts to connect them with the services and housing they need. The City also initiated its first Safe Parking Program, in partnership with New Beginnings, which provides safe overnight shelter and rapid rehousing programs for families and invidivuals living in their vehicles.

The City also allows manufactured homes to be constructed in all residential zones which may reduce construction costs,
The City conducts annual compliance monitoring of all affordable deed-restricted inclusionary units to ensure said units remain occupied in a manner that is consistent with the terms of their respective affordability covenants. The monitoring program, for which the City contracts with the City of Santa Barbara to complete, found that all inclusionary units were in compliance for the last reporting period of November 2022 to October 2A23.

The City continues to protect against the conversion of existing rental housing stock to condominiums or other types of owner-occupied housing through ongoing enforcement of the City's Ordinance No.742, which restricts ownership conversion affecting apartments. ln May 2023, the City initiated an "anti-displacement" legislative package, which includes a series of proposed Municipal Code amendments intended to protect existing rental housing stock, encourage production of additional rental housing, and protect rental housing affordability. Specific programs included in the legislative package include:
adoption of a just cause tenant eviction ordinance; strengthening the City's Short-Term Rental Housing regulations; amendments to the City's inclusionary housing requirements to include rental housing projects, and to address additional levels of affordability; exploring options for establishing a rent stabilization ordinance; establishing regulations for a

fractional ownership timeshares; and exploring options for establishing a vacant parcel tax. ln October 2023, the City successfully compleled adoption of the firstliece of the legislative package through adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 770, which established 'Just cause" tenant eviction protections. Additional efforts related to the "anti-displacement', package will continue in the coming years.

Proqram cateoorv 5: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

Goals
' Attain a housing market with "fair housing choice," meaning the ability of persons of similar income levels regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status to have available to them the same housing choiJes.

Promote inclusive communities, further housing choice, and address racial and economic disparities through government programs, policies, and operations.

Policies
o Promote Fair Housing: Promote fair housing opportunities through the City's participation in the County's Community Development Block Grant (CDB-G) Program.
o lnformation and Referral: Promote fair housing through the provision of information and referral services to residents who need help on fair housing issues. This includes referring local residents who want io file a housin! discrimination complaint to the appropriate local, county, state or federal agencyi depending on the nature of the complaint.
o Fair Housing lnformation: lmplement activities to broaden resident knowledge of fair housing law.
o Affirmatively further fair housing in compliance with state law.

Result
The City continues t9*{u1{selvices provided by the City of Santa Barbara Rental Housing Mediation Program (RHMP). The RHMP provides dispute resolution resulting from landlord, tenant, and roommate issues which arise in rental housing situations. The primary goal of the program is to provide an alternative to the formil judicial system and provide legal advice and mediation when disputes arise. The program providei free legal assistance for residents living at or below the poverty line, while ilso providing general social service guidance for those with disabilities, seniors, and victims of domestic violence. h 2A14, the RHMP began outreach programs in Carpinteria to educate local residents about tenanUlandlord rights and to answer housing questions. The program shoyg gyccess in preventing litigation through mediation and conflict resolution.ln 2023, the RHMP provided service to 60 Carpinteria tenants and landlords regarding issues related to rental housing and to educate local residents about the services provided by IHMP and other typical concerns related to rental housing. Beginning in Fall 2023, the City partnered with RHMP staff to educate renters and landlorOs aOout the City's newlyadopted "just cause" tenant eviction protections (see Program 4 discussion, above).
