UPDATES ON DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
6380 Via Real Multifamily Residential Project Concept Submittal The Community Development Department recently received a conceptual review application and SB330 pre-application submittal for a proposed multifamily residential development to be located at 6380 Via Real (the former “Lagunitas” office park site). The proposal, submitted by City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, contemplates a 93-unit townhome (condominium) development containing a mix of two- and three-story units in three- and four-bedroom configurations. The proposal seeks to utilize state Density Bonus Law to receive relief from certain local zoning requirements in exchange for setting aside 12 income-restricted units (10 units at “moderate-income” levels and 2 units at “abovemoderate” income levels). City staff is currently reviewing the initial pre-application submittal and will be working with the applicant team to set a date for a conceptual review hearing with City decision-makers. The conceptual plans and pre-application materials are on file with the Community Development Department and are available for public review upon request.

As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to support the community, Community Engagement Librarian Eric Castro recently participated in an outreach event with Carpinteria Head Start parents. He was invited to present updated information on immigration-related resources to a group of approximately 12 families, including 16 adults and their children, all of whom are immigrants living and working in Carpinteria.

The presentation was conducted in a conversational format, fostering an open and empathetic dialogue. Seated around a round table, parents engaged in discussion and asked questions as Eric guided them through a Resource Toolkit provided by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC, November 2024). Topics covered included:
• The importance of establishing a child care plan, including instructions for completing a Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit (CAA), as outlined in the California Family Code.
• Encouragement to consult with an immigration attorney to explore legal status options.
• Information on immigrants’ rights.
• A review of available legal resources in Santa Barbara County.

This outreach effort aligns with the City’s commitment to ensuring that all members of the community have access to essential resources and information.

The City of Carpinteria’s AgeWell program, in
collaboration with the Friendship Center’s
Carpinteria Healthy Aging Hub, invites the
community to a nostalgic evening of 1950s-themed
food, fun, and music at the upcoming Sock Hop
Dance. This free event will take place on Friday,

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6367, approving an appointment to the Downtown T Business Advisory Board.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6367, as read by title only, approving the appointment of Kevin Murphy as an assessment-paying member to the Downtown T Business Advisory Board.

BACKGROUND
The Downtown "T" Business Advisory Board (formerly the Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Board or PBIAAB) was formed in 1990 (via Resolution No. 1882) in order to comply with a change in State law that required the appointment of an advisory board to make recommendations to the City Council on the use of Business Improvement District funds collected through assessments. The Carpinteria Parking and Business Improvement Area District was formed in 1986 and has operated continuously since that time.

Board was changed due to the dissolution of the Carpinteria First Committee via Resolution No. 5902 in June 2019.

On February 3, 2025, at a special City Council meeting, the Council made biennial . After the
meeting, the City received the attached application (Attachment A) from a business owner in Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 for the Downtown "T" Business Advisory Board (DTBAB). Since all DTBAB appointments have not been filled, the Council may still appoint the final member.

The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to consider appointing the remaining member to the DTBAB.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
(CTAC), and
continued in 1985 with the establishment of the Public Access Advisory Committee (PAAC).

During this time and through 2003, Public and Educational Access programming was managed by Cox Communications.

In 2001, Santa Barbara County staff recommended that Public and Educational Access television would be best served by a non-profit organization. After much discussion and planning by the PAAC members, the Community Media Access Center (now known as TV Santa Barbara) was officially established on January 1, 2003. TV Santa Barbara is responsible for the operation of both Public Access (Channel 17) and Educational Access (Channel 71) in the cable franchise areas served by Cox Communications. In addition to programming, TV Santa Barbara provides Carpinteria residents with access to equipment and studio space that can be used for community-based programming. The Board of Directors of TV Santa Barbara includes a City of Carpinteria Representative which the Council appoints for a two-year term.

On November 12, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6346, adopting a process to appoint public members to City Council Advisory Groups and to appoint City Council representatives to outside agencies and committees and to City Council subcommittees. In addition, the Council approved a City Council Advisory Group Handbook. Under Resolution CMAC Appointment

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6368 updating the operational hours of the Skate Park.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6368 updating the operational hours of the Skate Park and rescind Resolution No. 6256.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6368 as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
On March 13, 20231, the Carpinteria City Council adopted Ordinance No. 763, establishing Skate Park Rules and Regulations as a part of Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 12.24, including that Skate Park hours shall be established by City Council Resolution, CMC 12.24.101(C)(20).

As set by Resolution No. 62562
until 30 minutes after sunset every day of each week. Operating Hours may be extended by the City Manager until 10PM when posted at the Park by the City in writing and then only when the Skate Park lig
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider rescinding Resolution No. 6256 and adopting Resolution No. 6368 thereby revising and extending the operational hours of the Skate Park.

DISCUSSION
1 https://carpinteria.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1210 2 https://carpinteria.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1279 Resolution No. 6368 Skate Park Hours of Operation
February 24, 2025

Due to equipment issues, the Skate Park has been lit throughout the night since it opened.

City staff and others, including the Police Chief and deputies, have witnessed consistent and positive use of the park into the late-night hours. The City recently received the equipment necessary to properly control the lighting schedule; however, given the usage level of the park after sunset, lack of issues or complaints, and overall positive feedback from stakeholders, staff is proposing a potential change to Skate Park hours.

The City Council has the authority to define the open hours of the Skate Park and may revisit this matter as needed to ensure that the facility is managed in a way that best serves the community. Currently, Resolution No. 6256 states Skate Park hours are 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset every day of each week. Extended hours, up to 10PM, are allowed with City Manager approval, when posted at the Skate Park by the City in writing, and only when the Skate Park lights are illuminated. Based on observed usage and discussions with the Carpinteria Skate Foundation and our local , City staff proposes the following changes to the
Skate Park hours:

From 30 minutes before sunrise to 10PM, Sunday thru; and From 30 minutes before sunrise to 11PM, Friday and Saturday The proposed changes would establish fixed extended hours without requiring special approval or postings; however, the City Manager or their designee would still retain the authority to adjust hours as needed for safety, maintenance, or special circumstances.

Examples would include closing for graffiti removal or weather, or extended hours past 11 PM with an approved City permit.

Expanding the weekend hours could provide several benefits to the community. The Skate Park has proven to be a well-used and valued recreational amenity, drawing participants of all ages, including youth, teens, and adults. Extending Friday and Saturday hours would allow park users more time to enjoy the facility in a well-lit, controlled, and safe environment rather than seeking alternative, potentially unsafe spaces after hours.

Additionally, weekend events, including those hosted by the Carpinteria Skate Foundation, often conclude around 10 PM, and an additional hour would provide a more structured timeframe for event breakdown and cleanup.

Lastly, operational hours that reflect community usage serve to reduce the need for enforcement, and park activation, in general, serves to deter other improper uses in or around the park. If approved, proper signage will be posted at the facility to reflect the new hours, and City staff will continue to monitor usage patterns and address any concerns as they arise.

AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 6256
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 763 which established Skate Park Rules and Regulations as a part of Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 12.24, including that Skate Park hours shall be established by resolution; and
WHEREAS, on July 10, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6256 which established the Skate Park operating hours when the Carpinteria Skate Park is open to the public; and
WHEREAS, staff is proposing an extension of the operating hours until 11 PM on Friday and
programming, while maintaining a 10 PM closure on all other days; and WHEREAS, expanding weekend hours would allow park users more time to enjoy the facility in a well-lit, controlled, and safe environment; and weekend events often conclude around 10 PM and an additional hour would provide a more structured timeframe for event breakdown and cleanup; and
WHEREAS, the Skate Park is equipped with lights designed to illuminate the skateable areas allowing the park to be used after sunset when the lights illuminate; and WHEREAS, if adopted, the extended new hours will be implemented immediately and staff will review the effectiveness of the new hours of operation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct, and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The Carpinteria City Council hereby resolves that Resolution No. 6256 is hereby rescinded.
