translation will be provided at the theatre to ensure accessibility for all attendees. As with all Library programs, Carp Reads events are free and open to the public.

Program details and complimentary copies of the book are available at the Carpinteria Library. This program is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Carpinteria Library, who are sponsoring the author talk and book giveaway. The Alcazar Theatre is a valued partner in presenting this community-focused initiative.

Staff Updates:

The City Librarian: The application period closed on April 9, with first-round interviews scheduled for Friday, April 18. The recruitment yielded a strong applicant pool.

Library Technician: Interviews were conducted on March 31, using the existing candidate list. A conditional offer has been accepted by the selected candidate.

Literacy Coordinator: On April 30th, a successful tutor training session was conducted with a diverse group of 16 individuals of varying ages. These individuals will be matched with English learners of different proficiency levels in the coming days and weeks.

Library Outreach: On April 2, the Carpinteria Head Start Program held a Parent Socialization Event at the Library, attended by approximately 21 families and CommUnify staff. The event included a presentation by our Community Engagement Librarian, Eric Castro, on the "1,000 Books Before Five" program. This library initiative encourages parents to read 1,000 books with their child before kindergarten, helping young children develop early literacy skills, build vocabulary, and enter school prepared to learn.

Additionally, the Library will be hosting a Fraud Prevention class in Spanish on April 21, offered by the Sheriff's Department.

A visioning session with the Library Advisory Commission and the Friends of the Carpinteria Library.

Interviews and meetings with City staff.

LBOT Staff Report
April 14, 2025

The initial timeline for the strategic plan was condensed, making the community asset mapping phase feel rushed. To allow for a more thorough and thoughtful process, the project competition timeline has been extended into August 2025. This extension will also allow the newly hired City Librarian to contribute to the final strategic plan. City staff, the Library Advisory Commission, and the consultant are in agreement that this revised timeline (Attachment A; pages 6 and 7) will provide a more comprehensive understanding of community needs.

Federal Funding to Public Libraries: The California State Library (CSL) received a Notice of Termination of Federal Grant by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) stating that the 2024-25 federal grant awarded under the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) will be terminated effective April 1, 2025 (Attachment B). This decision will have a significant impact on LSTA-funded programs, including vital services such as lunch at the library, workforce development programs, and book-to-action initiatives.

The services and resources currently provided statewide by the State Library that will be discontinued include:

Subscriptions to the New York Times.

Free access to Cal Matters for Learning.

Free access to continuing education and leadership opportunities for library staff through California Libraries Learn (CALL).

Resource guides, collections of books, and training for staff to support summer reading programs.

Subscriptions to ProLiteracy and Change Agent, and training and resources for local library literacy programs.

Subscriptions to VolunteerMatch, and support for recruiting, training, and working with volunteers.

Free access to PolicyMap, mapping and data analytics tool, and training for staff in collecting and using data.

Preservation and digitization services for your collections, training for library staff, and support for setting up memory labs.

The direct impact to Carpinteria Community Library users will be minimal. It is likely that the current free access to the New York Times and some learning platforms will be eliminated between now and July 1, 2025. Some in-person and new staff training opportunities will not be available. However, Black Gold costs and the Zip Book grant should not be affected.

Library story: The English as a Second Language (ESL) class through Santa Barbara City College recently visited the Carpinteria Community Library to familiarize themselves catalog and collections, access books, magazines, movies, museum and park passes, the LBOT Staff Report

The notices need to be manually created by staff, but that process has begun.

Akiliah Manuel, Principal
6130 Camino Real #2 Jurupa Valley, CA 92509
1 OVERVIEW
Tiny Footprint Farm, LLC doing business as The Door Coaching is pleased to submit this proposal for intercultural development to support the Contra Costa Library leadership and ultimately the Library System and Community. I have coached over 50 individuals in intercultural development and three organizations (cohorts) with the most recent being the Catalyst Leadership Development program at present.

My facilitation and coaching approach are through an equity lens which creates the proper framework to meet your goal to plan and deliver responsive, inclusive, and accessible library services that support the informational and enrichment needs of individuals of all ages living and working in the Contra Costa County. The highlight of this proposal is the inclusion of personal coaching, and strategic scaffolding of deliverables ability to adapt in culturally appropriate ways.

Disclosure: There are no financial relationships or agreements between Tiny Footprint Farm, LLC (also known as The Door) or Akiliah Manuel with any related entities of Contra Costa County Library System.

Objective
Programming: Create expectations and guidelines for inclusive programs that center around accessibility for different types of people but are also understood and supported by library personnel.

Patron Incident Tracking System (PITS): Increase intercultural development of key staff to mitigate PITS reflecting quantitative data that is not reflective of patron and staff interactions and mitigate weaponization of the software.

The Opportunity
Goal 1: Administer the Intercultural Development Inventory including group and individual briefings, debriefs and coaching.

Goal 2: Provide Workshops
Goal 3: Public Presentation-Ensure transparency and accountability by presenting the strategic planning process and findings to all stake holders. Specifically, by creating and 2 distributing a culminating document and in-person presentations at the Library Advisory Commission and Library Board of Trustees meetings.

Since 2012, Akiliah has designed and delivered programs for families, children, teenagers, English language learners, Adults and people experiencing homelessness. She chaired the Riverside County Homelessness Resource Committee and spearheaded Project Connect which brought resource fairs to various libraries to provide real time services to people experiencing homelessness. In 2021 she and her colleagues won the California PR Excellence award for their initiative called Ready Access: Reentry Services for Decarcerated Populations. The toolkit and resources have since blossomed into a Community of Practice which includes library workers from over 12 states.

Akiliah has a demonstrated ability to collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data as exhibited in the many grants she wrote and been awarded, based on assessing the needs of the communities in which she has worked. Most recently, Akiliah analyzed data for her own Library Services Department which resulted in operational and strategic plans. (Refer to the previously furnished strategic plan).

Akiliah has managed and directed libraries with collections and operation budgets ranging from $20,000-$20,000,000 and is adept at identifying funding sources, while keeping in mind feasibility and sustainability of which the latter is often overlooked.

CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS:

The City Council met to consider the following item:

City Council Special Joint Meeting Minutes
March 31, 2025

1. Conceptual review of a proposal to construct 93 new townhome-style residences and associated amenities on an 8.64-acre parcel located at 6380 Via Real (APN 001-190- 097), proposed by Nick Patterson, Director of Development for City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC.

Recommendation: Receive public comment, and provide individual comments on the residential development proposal.

Community Development Director Bobroff introduced the item and asked the City Council, Planning Commission, and Architectural Review Board to report any ex parte disclosures.

Planning Commissioner VanAntwerp reported that she attended the Cal Cities Planning Commissioner’s Academy in Santa Rosa in March. During the Academy she attended a panel discussion (not a private discussion) in the general session which was led by Ryan Aeh, Executive Vice President of City Ventures where he mentioned a project in the Santa Barbara South Coast and taught the group about the housing element. She noted one other disclosure was that she had met with two folks from City Ventures back in August/September when public outreach for this project was being done at one of the coffee shops in Carpinteria.

Senior Planner Souter provided the staff PowerPoint presentation. Staff responded to questions from the Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission, and City Council.

Nick Patterson, Director of Development for City Ventura Homebuilding, LLC provided the applicant PowerPoint presentation. The applicant responded to questions from the Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission, and City Council.

Speakers in-person: Mary Wiederkehr, Sue Skenderian, Bryan Gindoff, Donald Bensen, and Robert Schwalje
Emails distributed: Dustin Hosieth and Kristen Miller with the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, Art and Heather Tiddens, Leslie Gascoigne, Andrew and Linda Lisiecki, Amrita Salm, Donald Bensen, Rebecca Romano, and William Anderson Mayor Alarcon opened up comment from the Architectural Review Board.

Vice Chair O’Connor noted that the developer should be mindful of the notion of SB 330 which could drive the density to an uncomfortable or perhaps unsafe level. He also mentioned that including those unbuildable areas in square footage for density, lot coverage, landscaping, etc. invites density where it doesn’t help the situation. He encouraged the Lagunitas homeowners and the developer to resolve the CC&R’s and noted that the height limit needed to be dealt with.

City Council Special Joint Meeting Minutes
March 31, 2025

Chair Blakemore agreed with Member O’Connor’s comments about density and development statistics including non-buildable areas; however, she noted that the project is presented under the guidelines currently in place. She commented that the individual buildings are broken up and well defined and the general look and feel of the buildings is headed in the right direction with the exception of the pitched roofs which needs discussion.

She concurred with other comments about sticking to height limitations and agreed that the parking situation and amount of parking spaces being provided are dictated by the State.

She encouraged furthering the idea of a park for kids. She suggested not having dead-end lanes, not planting any Tipuana Tipus on the drives, and incorporating trees larger than 24- inch box for several tree species.

Boardmember Woolf commented that many people and dogs may live in this development and having outdoor space is incredibly important. She noted that with that many people, cars would fill up the interior roadways. She did not like the height of the three-story units and only 27 guest parking spots.

Boardmember Little recommended the developer consider underground parking possibly with the three-story units to create more landscape area instead of having roads. He noted that the 9-foot plate heights could be lowered to reduce height as well as the roof pitch which could be lowered extensively. He thought moving the three-story units to the Lomita Lane side of the property was a good idea and taking some of the groups of the four-units and add underground parking would reduce the size and give additional green space.

Boardmember Johnson suggested that the developer create site sections to cut through the property to understand the massing of the buildings relative to the site size. He expressed concern about the rigid grid driveway system and would like to see more of a diagonal country lane feel to the site if possible. He observed that the 8 to 12 roof pitch was a unique feature, but did not prefer it all the time or throughout the project and recommended lowering the top floor roof plates to 7 feet to mitigate the height and get more animation in the massing. He also suggested adding some more cross gables to the long roof planes that are on the ends of the buildings in the elevations. He mentioned that grading changes would add/lower some height to get variation in the project. He noted that the developer should create street elevations to show the buildings from the street particularly along Lomita Lane and to lower the top plate to 5 feet (which is legal) to get the roof to come down really low to hide the upper floor under the roof. He recommend changing the variety of the roof pitches.

Mayor Alarcon opened up comment from the Planning Commission.

Commissioner VanAntwerp said she would like to see if the applicant is open to a revised affordability mix although rezoning might need to occur and she would also like to see how the public benefit improvements get incorporated. She stated that massing is an issue for the neighborhood and suggested the developer look for opportunities to work with public transportation. She expressed concern about public views and the project height and recommended that the three-story buildings be moved along Lomita Lane.

City Council Special Joint Meeting Minutes
March 31, 2025

Chair LaFevers observed that it was an interesting project, the location for residential development is appropriate, and there is plenty of flexibility to work with any of the options to come up with a good project for this site. He noted that the project location between the existing research park and residential is appropriate for a little higher density than the current Lagunitas residential development. He mentioned that there is a struggle with consistency and neighborhood compatibility and compatibility with the character of Carpinteria and that most of his concerns are driven by the mass, size and scale of the project. He commented that the number of buildings and their general layout was fine; however, he suggested lowering the building heights by fill or lack of fill, at-grade parking, and roof pitch. He noted that the three-story development may be possible with some creativity with cut and fill on the side, parking below, and other such things. He remarked that he didn’t particularly care for the architectural style and asked the developer to identify an existing development that City Ventures previously designed. He noted that all utilities should be undergrounded. He appreciated the current proposal of ten moderately affordable units for work force housing, but he did recommend the developer look for more options and opportunities for affordability perhaps replacing some of the existing larger units with smaller size units.

Commissioner Moyer observed that the project has potential. He suggested that the project have underground parking to provide more open space and resolve the parking issue. He remarked that there are not many 8 to 12 pitch roofs in Carpinteria, but would leave it up to the architect. He noted that as pointed out in Mr. Bensen’s written public comment, Lomita Lane is a potential health and safety issue because in the event of an evacuation the residents would clog up Lomita Lane and prevent the Lomita Lane residents from getting out and he recommended the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District take a look at it. He observed that the project should have an adequate amount of amenities so as not rely on a City park. He appreciated the use of three- and four-bedroom units because they would denote home rather than an investment.

Mayor Alarcon opened up comment from the City Council.

Councilmember Mayer observed that this project was the most inline with what would work in Carpinteria. She noted there was opportunity for there to be more variation in height and size which would bring character and charm. She was hesitant in pushing the height limit and didn’t see that the City was getting enough concessions with affordability to consider going beyond the height limit. She expressed that affordability and parking are the biggest issues. She noted potential traffic impacts on Bailard Avenue bridge and the nearby on- and off-ramps that would put stress on City resources. She suggested the developer incorporate recreation space into the design.

Vice Mayor Solórzano noted that the site is great for residential development; however, she preferred residential development that serves more of Carpinteria than what is proposed.

She observed that the twelve units of moderate and above-rate housing is not enough when building 93 units. She recommended that the project have more density and more affordable units so people can stay and work in Carpinteria.

City Council Special Joint Meeting Minutes
March 31, 2025

Councilmember Clark recognized the need for more affordable housing and suggested having smaller units with less bedrooms or affordability by design. He noted that the compatibility with the existing Lagunitas residential needs to be addressed in terms of height and massing. He recommended that the project have underground parking and reduce the plate heights and the slope of the roof and keep the height at 30 feet. He stated that public views from both directions are really important.

Councilmember Nomura liked the idea of minimizing the building height and talked about parking and traffic as issues especially if the County housing project at the end of Bailard Avenue goes in. He recommended placing the three-story units in a more centralized area on the site or along Lomita Lane and adding turn-abouts. He noted that along Lomita Lane, the buildings are built parallel to Lomita Lane and on the other side where the creek is, the buildings are perpendicular. He said that if those buildings were turned sideways, there would be an existing buffer which could potentially be used as a driveway that could be accessed from the backside. In that case, there would be no turn-arounds in the central road, they would all be on the backside and there would be a buffer to the existing houses that are there along with the park area previously talked about. He said this will have an impact on what’s going to happen at Bailard Avenue and the other potential building sites from the County.

Mayor Alarcon expressed concern for neighborhood compatibility in terms of the number of units being proposed and that the building height needs to be decreased. She would like to see more recreation on the proposed site and liked the idea of a City park; however, that is not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps the developer could develop and build it out. She noted that parking is not enough for this part of Carpinteria and the neighborhood. She felt that the parking problem would end up with the City and the surrounding neighborhoods and observed that the City needs affordable housing, both very low and low-income housing which is very important.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Authorization to issue the Notice Inviting Bids for the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Public Works Director to advertise the Notice Inviting Bids for the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project (Project No. 15125).

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the Public Works Director to advertise the Notice Inviting Bids for the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project (Project No. 15125).

BACKGROUND
In 2020, an engineering and traffic study (E&TS) of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle volume and movements was conducted in the Carpinteria High School area. In brief, the E&TS recommended upgrading the existing crosswalk at the Franklin Creek Trail and State Route 192/Foothill Road intersection with a high-intensity activated crosswalk system.1 Out of the E&TS, the design phase of the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project was authorized to proceed in 2021.

During the course of the design phase, right-of-way acquisitions were determined to be required because the project location is situated on both a Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (County) parcel and the State of California (State) right-of-way of State Route 192/Foothill Road at the frontage of Carpinteria High School, 4810 Foothill Road. The project is also a part of Franklin Creek Trail. In August 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Real Property License Agreement with the County. The Real Property License Agreement established the concerning the licensed use, operation, and maintenance of the County parcel. In November 2023, the City Council also authorized the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Maintenance Agreement

operation and maintenance within the State right-of-way. Concurrent with the Maintenance Agreement, a Caltrans Encroachment Permit was also acquired.

In September 2024, the City applied for state-aid grant funds from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12. In February 2025, the City was informed by Caltrans about the project being selected for receiving an amount of $342,270. The HSIP funds will be for the construction phase of the project, which is estimated to cost $380,300. The HSIP funds will cover 90-
development impact fees will be the local match to cover the remaining portion.

The design phase including all right-of-way acquisitions is now complete. Further, electric service was ordered from and is now arranged with Southern California Edison to power the proposed high-intensity activated crosswalk system.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the Public Works Director to advertise the Notice Inviting Bids for the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project.

DISCUSSION
The general scope of work of the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project consists of removing the existing flashing beacon crosswalk system and replacing with a high-intensity activated crosswalk system. As a part of the scope of work, a temporary traffic control plan (TTC) will be required by the City as well as pursuant to the Caltrans Encroachment Permit for the construction phase. That is, contractor to prepare and implement a TTC as well as provide public notifications and coordinate with Carpinteria High School, County, and Caltrans. The estimated start of construction is summer 2025.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation is to effectively proceed with work on the project in order to enhance Franklin Creek Trail for pedestrians and bicyclists. With that, the recommendation may be found consistent with the following objectives and policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:

Circulation Element
Objective C-7: Build demand for alternative transportation use by increasing ease, effectiveness, and social acceptability, and through foresighted planning.

Policies:

C-7b. Develop safe and direct pedestrian accessibility between residential areas, schools, parks, and shopping areas in both new and existing urban areas.

Objective C-8: Support and develop safe, direct and well-maintained bicycle and pedestrian systems and recreational boating facilities that serve all segments of the public.

Policies:

C-8a. Integrate the development of bicycle routes and pedestrian pathways in additional areas of the city, and encourage the utilization of such routes for commuting as well as recreational purposes.

C-8f. Encourage pedestrian movement by providing pedestrian facilities that are direct and convenient, particularly in the beach and downtown areas.

Open Space, Recreation & Conservation Element
Objective OSC-14: Provide for adequate park and recreation facilities to meet the needs of the community and visitors.

Policies:

OSC-14a. Increase coastal and recreational access for all segments of the population, including the disabled and elderly, while protecting natural resources, particularly environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

Objective OSC-15: Maintain the existing trail system and provide additional recreation and access opportunities by expanding the trail system.

Policies:

OSCFigure C-3, the Trails Map, and, if approved by the Coastal Commission in an amendment to its Local Coastal Plan, the Trails Master Plan or similar implementing document.

OSC-15b. Support enhancement of access trails along creekways designated as open space up to the foothills of the Santa Ynez mountain range. This should include exploring trail development for public use along the Edison easement behind Carpinteria High School, ending on the first ridge above the city. This should be linked to the old Franklin trail, leading to the ridge up to East Camino Cielo. Trail restoration and enhancement of easement areas should be pursued to restore the natural beauty along these trails by negotiating with property owners, the school district, and the National Forest, to redesign trails and adopt protective fencing methods.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Annual Review of . STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and adopt Resolution No. 6386, updating the City Master Fee Schedule.

Sample Motion: I move to Adopt Resolution No. 6386, approving the Schedule.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to consider and approve updates This adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area for the month of December.

If approved, the revised Master Fee Schedule will become effective July 1, 2025.

DISCUSSION
Ensuring that the City recovers its costs for consumer and fee-based services is a key component of fiscal stabilization. While both public agencies and private businesses must understand the minimum fee required for cost recovery, California cities are legally limited to recovering only the actual cost of service unlike private businesses that may charge for profit.

When fees are not adjusted regularly, the actual cost of providing services may exceed the fees collected, resulting in a subsidy from the General Fund. To avoid this, the City must update fees in line with changing service delivery costs. updates to the Master Fee Schedule along with the variance amounts (increase or decrease).

Plan/Conditional Use Permit Revision with a deposit of $2,500 and 100% recovery. . Fees for Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department (PRCS) are not included as part of the proposed Master Fee Schedule. PRCS conducted an internal fee study, which will be presented to the City Council in a separate agenda matter. Once fully established, PRCS fees will be incorporated into the Master Fee Schedule.

Moving forward, City staff will continue to review and update the Master Fee Schedule annually (March/April) and bring it forward for Council consideration. Per Government Code Section 66017, certain fees or fee increases must take effect no sooner than 60 days after Council adoption.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Most City fees are targeted to recover 100% of the associated service cost. However, in some cases, the Council has chosen to set recovery levels below 100% based on policy priorities. These are intentional choices, but overall, ensuring that service costs are -term fiscal health and
sustainability.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of this action will establish a revised Master Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2025, for Fiscal Year 2025/26. The additional revenue generated through these updated fees will help offset increasing service delivery costs, maintaining a balanced budget and reducing reliance on discretionary funding sources.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

City of Carpinteria

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution No. 6383, Approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2025-26 Project List.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6383, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2025-26 Project List.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6383, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB 1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs for state highways and local streets and roads.

On November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began depositing various portions of SB 1 funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of the RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible local agencies (e.g., cities and counties) pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h).

The Controller apportions RMRA funds on a monthly basis to eligible local agencies using a process and system similar to that of Highway Users Tax Account apportionments.

RMRA funding is continuously apportioned and is not provided on a reimbursement basis.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of To be eligible for RMRA funding, local agencies
must provide annual RMRA project reports to the California Transportation Commission (Commission). The Commission first receives the project lists, determines completeness and compliance with basic statutory requirements, and finally approves and submits a statewide list to the Controller for local agencies that are eligible to receive RMRA funding apportionments.

Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 11
Council Meeting Date: April 14, 2025
Resolution No. 6383 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2025-26 Project List April 14, 2025

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider adopting Resolution No. 6383, granting approval of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 RMRA project list for submittal to the Commission.

DISCUSSION
RMRA funds must be used for road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, railroad grade separations, traffic control devices, complete street components including active transportation purposes such as pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects. RMRA funds may also be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state and/or federal funds for projects. The key requirements for use of RMRA funds are as follows:

A list of projects that are proposed to be funded with RMRA funds must be submitted to the Commission. All projects proposed to receive funding must be adopted by resolution by the at a regular public
meeting.

For each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, local agencies must submit to the Commission a report that details the expenditure of all RMRA funds.

A local agency receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds is required to sustain a maintenance of effort (also known as MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its general fund expenditures for street, road, and highway purposes from the local agency
By July 1, 2025, local agencies receiving RMRA funds must follow guidelines developed by the California Workforce Development Board that address participation and investment in or partnership with new or existing preapprenticeship training programs. These programs focus on outreach to women, minority participants, underrepresented subgroups, formerly incarcerated individuals, and local residents to access training and employment opportunities.

Project List Submittal
The project list must include project descriptions including the general location of each project, estimated schedules of
each project. Local agencies may include project information for future fiscal years but are expected to update the project list, as needed, every fiscal year prior to submittal to the Commission. Resolution No. 6383, as shown as Attachment A, shows the project list as Exhibit 1. The project list proposes to use Fiscal Year 2025-26 RMRA funding allocation for two capital projects namely the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement Project and 2023 Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project, respectively.

Local agencies must submit a project list and supporting documentation by July 1st of each year to the Commission. All materials must be submitted in electronic format by Resolution No. 6383 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2025-26 Project List April 14, 2025

using the online submittal tool. After reviewing submittals for completeness, the Commission reports to the Controller regarding the jurisdictions that are eligible to receive RMRA funding. Upon receipt of the list from the Commission, the Controller apportions funds to the local agencies that are included in the list. All project lists and support documentation, as submitted by the local agencies, will be posted on Project Expenditure Reporting and Auditing
For each fiscal year in which an apportionment of RMRA funds is received, and upon expenditure of funds, local agencies must submit documentation to the Commission detailing the expenditure of those funds and include a description and location of each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the project. The project expenditure reporting process provides an opportunity for local agencies to report on the progress and expenditures associated with multi-year projects that are not yet complete. Local agencies must also submit a Completed and In-Progress Project Report by December 1st of each year to the Commission. The report must also be submitted in electronic format to the Commission.

Upon receipt of project expenditure reports, Commission staff reviews submittals to ensure completeness. All completed project expenditure reports, as submitted by the local agencies, will be posted to the Commis analyzes
the completed project expenditure reports and aggregates the project information to provide both statewide and local level summary information. This information is then posted to within a month of the program update being delivered at the Commission meeting in January of
Annual Report to the Legislature.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The requirements for use of RMRA funds are codified in California Streets and Highways Code Sections 2034, 2036, 2037, and 2038.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The statewide fuel taxes imposed via SB1 are charged on a per gallon basis. The proceeds are affected by the volume of fuel sales rather than the price of fuel, which tends to be more volatile. Based on the California Department of Finance statewide revenue projections for Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City is expecting to receive an estimated $344,778 of RMRA funds, which is an increase of 2.41% over the current fiscal year. The budgeting of RMRA expenditures will be a part of the budget process for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Resolution No. 6383 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2025-26 Project List April 14, 2025

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with state law in order for the City to receive RMRA revenue allocations.

OPTIONS
The City Council could choose to:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6383, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2025-26 Project List. (Staff recommendation)

2. Amend the proposed project list as determined appropriate.

3. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate; however, without an adopted resolution and project list, the City would not receive RMRA funds in Fiscal Year 2025-26. This would represent a loss of revenue for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects.

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

BACKGROUND
On January 22, 2024, the City Council adopted the current Housing Element1, which outlines how the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation can be achieved during this housing cycle through a variety of methods (e.g., pending project applications, underutilized sites, accessory dwelling units, and rezoning of candidate opportunity sites).

Although the City submitted a substantially-compliant Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 23, 2024, the State was not able to certify it at that time. In a response letter, HCD directed the City to rezone sufficient candidate opportunity sites as outlined in Program 1 (Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs) to meet the RHNA shortfall and then resubmit the Element for certification.2
At a City Council hearing on May 28, 2024 (Item 12)3, City staff outlined a phased approach to implementing Program 1.

April 14, 2025

On November 4, 20244, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft Zoning Amendments that would implement Program 1 of the Housing Element and made a recommendation for approval to the City Council.

On November 25, 20245, the City Council conducted the first reading of the Phase 1 Zoning Amendments (Ordinance Nos. 788, 789, 790, and 791) and directed staff to remove one of the candidate rezone sites (Site 5) that had been recommended by the Planning Commission.

On December 9, 2024, the City Council conducted the second reading of Ordinance Nos. 788, 789, 790, and 791 and adopted Resolution No. 6350 directing staff to submit the adopted ordinances to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) as a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA); and to the HCD for Housing Element certification.

On December 12, 2024, City staff submitted the Housing Element Program 1 implementation documents (Ordinance Nos. 788, 789, 790, and 791) to HCD for certification.

On December 19, 2024, City staff submitted the LCPA (Ordinance Nos. 788, 789, 790, and 791) to the CCC for certification. The amendment proposal was deemed complete and filed as LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1 on January 15, 2025.

On January 30, 20256, the HCD found that the Zoning Amendments were in substantial On March 14, 2025, the CCC conditionally certified (per Item 8a of the March 14, 2025 CCC hearing) minor modifications to Ordinance Nos. 788 and 789.

finalized and the Zoning Amendments can go into effect.

Ordinance Nos. 790 and 791 (rezoning certain properties to the new RMU zone district) were certified by the CCC as submitted without any modifications and are now considered final.

The purpose of this report is to request City Council adoption of modified Ordinance Nos. 788 and 789 (Attachments A and B), which revise Title 14 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code to add clarifying language to Chapter 14.04 (General Provisions), establish Chapter

Attachment F provides the Notice of Exemption for CEQA review.

DISCUSSION
Adopted Ordinance Nos. 788 and 789
Provided here is a description of Ordinance Nos. 788 and 789 as adopted by City Council on December 9, 2024, and submitted to the CCC on December 19, 2024 for LCPA review and certification:

Ordinance 788 - Residential / Mixed Use Zoning District This ordinance sets forth a new Residential / Mixed Use ( RMU ) zone district. The RMU zone would be applied to select properties in the General Commercial ( GC ) or the Research & Development Industrial ( RDI ) land use categories described in the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan ( GP/CLUP ). Under the new RMU zone district, future development or re-development would be required to include multi-family housing and may be residential-only or mixed-use. Permitted uses would include:

Multifamily residential development and mixed uses at a density of 20 (minimum) to 25 (maximum) dwelling units per acre;
Parking and accessory uses (e.g., storage, laundry facilities, private open space, public open space, bike racks, etc.);
For sites in the GC Land Use Category: the option to have commercial uses, except on Community Design Element Subarea 2a) which must include a commercial use on the ground floor fronting the avenue;
For sites in the RDI Land Use Category: the option to have offices and/or research, development, and laboratory uses.

The RMU zone would allow for ministerial (use by right) permitting if at least 20 percent of the residential units proposed are designated for lower-income households. It also includes its own set of unique development standards which establish allowed density, setbacks, building coverage, building height, etc.

1.2 California Environmental Quality Act
The City Council finds that none of the conditions have occurred or exist as set forth in for
this Project, and that the addendum to the certified 2003 Coastal Land Use Plan/General Plan EIR prepared for this Project satisfies the environmental review requirements of CEQA. The City Council also finds that the Coastal Commission adopted a certified regulatory program containing the necessary environmental review for the Project (Public Resources Code Section 21080.5). Finally, the City Council finds that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval and adoption of Ordinance Nos. 788 and 789 are exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15265.

2023-2031 Housing Element Update Rezone Amendments
Project 24-2279-ORD/LCPA
Environmental Impact Report SCH 1997121111
November 25, 2024
I. Summary of this Addendum
This addendum to the Program EIR 1 for the City of
Carpinteria
assesses the potential environmental impact(s) associated with implementation of Program 1 of the City of Carpinteria 2023-2031 Housing Element, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA ) (California Public Resources Code 21000 et seq.) and in compliance with the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations 15000 et seq.).

The City, as the lead agency under CEQA, must consider the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project, which includes:

Adding a new Residential/Mixed Use ( MU ) Zoning District to the Carpinteria Municipal Code;
Adding new Objective Design Standards to the Carpinteria Municipal Code; and Amending the Zoning Map to rezone certain parcels of land to RMU.

The goal of the proposed Project is to accommodate and encourage residential -2031 Housing
Element. This Addendum is being prepared pursuant to Sections 15162-15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, and is an informational document intended to be used in the planning and decision-making process.

The fundamental conclusion of this Addendum is that the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts nor substantially increase the severity of previously disclosed impacts beyond those already identified in the PEIR SCH 1997121111.

Additionally, the Project would not involve any substantial changes to the components revisions to the PEIR. Thus, a subsequent or supplemental EIR need not be prepared in accordance with California Public Resources Code Section 21166. 1 https://carpinteriaca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/cd_General-Plan.pdf Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
2 Housing Element Program 1
On January 22, 2024, the City of Carpinteria
current Housing Element2
-2031 cycle through a variety of
methods and programs. While the Housing Element is adopted and in effect, it cannot be officially certified by the California Department of Housing and Community until the City implements Program 1 Adequate Sites to
Accommodate Regional Housing Needs.

A description of Program 1 (Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Appendix B of the Element. These documents explain the breakdown by income of the required 901 RHNA units, including 418 units for lower-income households, 35 units for moderate-income households, and 348 units for above-moderate-income households.

Using the land inventory analysis in Appendix B, the City can currently accommodate 126 lower-income units and all of the moderate, and above-moderate units based on pending projects, underutilized sites (i.e., existing zoning), and anticipated accessory dwelling units.

Since the City can currently only accommodate 126 out of the 418 required lowerincome housing units, there is a resulting RHNA shortfall of 292 potential lower-income units. Therefore, the City is required to implement Program 1 which involves rezoning sufficient land to accommodate 292 lower-income units plus a reasonable buffer3. As described in Program 1, City staff initially envisioned using a Residential Overlay District for the proposed rezones such that the underlying zone of the land (e.g., commercial, industrial, etc.) would remain but would have an overlay applied to allow for the option of high-density residential development. However, a recent California court of appeal decision (Martinez v. City of Clovis (2023) 90 Cal.App.5th 193) found that a zoning overlay that allowed for both a higher density and a lower density residential development option did not satisfy Housing Element Law.

Accordingly, the implementation of Program 1 now instead requires a zoning change on sufficient sites to cover the RHNA shortfall.

Additional aspects of Housing Element Program 1 that must be factored into the zoning amendments include:

Density Minimums: Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(3) and Program 1 require that the City apply a minimum residential density of at least 20 units per acre to all rezone sites that are used to accommodate the Ci 2 Available here: https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/community-development/planning/housing-elementupdate/. 3 HCD expects at least a buffer of 15 percent for a total of 336 units. At a proposed density of 20 dwelling units per acre, the land area to be rezoned under Program 1 would be approximately 16.8 acres (14.6 acres to cover the shortfall and 2.2 acres to cover the 15 percent buffer).

Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
3 lower-income units. Therefore, the zoning amendments must include this minimum density.

Number of Units: Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and Program 1 require that the residential rezones include at least 16 units per site.

Ministerial Permitting: Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and Program 1 -by- -occupied and rental multifamily
housing projects that provide at least 20 percent of the units as affordable to lower-income households. As defined in Government Code Section 65583.2, review or approval, or environmental review under CEQA.

Development Standards: As part of the rezoning program, the City must also ensure that allowable densities can be achieved and that development standards do not pose unreasonable constraints on the cost and supply of housing. Thus, the development standards applied to the rezone sites must be standards that involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official) such that streamlined permitting can be accomplished.

Predominantly Residential Mixed Use Development: Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and Program 1 also require that one of the following standards is satisfied: (1) At least 50 percent of the lower income housing need to be accommodated on residential-only sites; or (2) All the lower income housing needs may be accommodated on mixed-use sites if those sites allow for (a) 100 percent residential use and (b) require that residential use occupy 50 percent or more of the total floor area of the mixed-use project.

In the adopted Housing Element, 19 sites (each site is made up of one or more legal throughout this Addendum) that may be suitable for rezoning to cover the RHNA shortfall. These Candidate Opportunity Sites are described in Appendix B of the Housing Element (see Table B-6, Figures B-2a and B-2b4, and in the site profiles Figure B-45).
was originally identified as a Candidate Opportunity Site considered for rezoning but application for development was submitted. However, the applicants for the proposed development have stalled on processing their current application. Therefore, City staff and Planning Commission recommend that Site #5 also be included in the list of Candidate Opportunity Sites (Table1 below). If Site #5 is rezoned, it would provide the landowner with the opportunity to move forward with a project under the proposed RMU zone.

Therefore, the three Candidate Opportunity Sites that require GPAs (Site Numbers 1, 2, and 19) are not currently under consideration for rezone amendments and are removed from further analysis in this CEQA Addendum.

The Project thus does not require any amendment to the GP/CLUP.

All of the remaining 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites may be rezoned consistent with Program 1 without any changes to the GP/CLUP policies or Land Use Map.

II. Proposed Project Description: Zoning Amendments
Consistent with Program 1 of the Housing Element, the proposed Project analyzed in this CEQA Addendum consists of the following three components:

A. The addition of the RMU Zoning District in Title 14 of the Carpinteria Municipal CMC ;
B. The addition of Objective Design Standards in Title 14 of the CMC; 6 Site #17 was removed because a development application was processed that made the site a pending project rather than a Candidate Opportunity Site for rezoning.

Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
5 C. The amendments to the Zoning Map to rezone select Candidate Opportunity Sites from their current zoning designations to the new RMU Zone.

All three of these Project components are logical follow-on discretionary actions to the components combine to describe the whole of the Project, a project under CEQA is essentially the action(s) which would result in a physical change to the environment. In this case, the potential direct and indirect environmental effects from the proposed Project would come from the future development or redevelopment of the rezoned Sites.

It is not likely that all 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites (Table 2) will be rezoned as part of the Project. Ultimately, the City Council may choose a subset of these eligible Sites shortfall plus a reasonable buffer. Even
though it is unlikely that all 17
all 17 Sites in order to assess whether or not there will be any significant impacts which require additional environmental review if all 17 Sites are rezoned.

6 designations. Under the new RMU District, future development of the Sites would include the following:

A. Multifamily residential development and mixed uses at a density of 20 (minimum) to 25 (maximum) dwelling units per acre;
B. Parking and accessory uses (e.g., storage, laundry facilities, private open space, public open space, bike racks, etc.);
C. For sites in the GC land use category: the option to have commercial uses as part of a mixed-use development (except for sites fronting on Linden and (based on Community Design
Element Subarea 2a) which would be required to include a commercial use on the ground floor fronting the avenue);
D. For sites in the RDI land use category: the option to have offices and/or research, development, and laboratory uses, as part of a mixed-use development.

Since the commercial/office uses along with some residential uses are already primary changes for the purpose of CEQA analysis are the net addition of the new residential density and accompanying accessory uses.

III. Analysis Consistency with GP/CLUP
The proposed Project would facilitate the development of housing (and affordable GP/CLUP and accompanying PEIR. Each of the 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites have residential uses in their definitions:

General Commercial (GC)
The GC land use category is characterized by a mixture of retail, wholesale, service and office uses, usually located along major transportation corridors.

This category includes a variety of commercial intensities. The Central Business District identifies the downtown commercial area. It is characterized by a variety of offices, retail businesses, specialty shops, entertainment uses, and residential land uses. The City encourages this area to be pedestrianoriented. (emphasis added) Research & Development Industrial (RDI)
The RDI land use category is characterized by well-designed groups of office, research and development and light industrial uses. These land uses typically employ a large number of persons, and are attractively designed to be compatible with less intense uses, such as residential. (emphasis added) Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
7 More explicitly, the following specific Land Use objectives and policies demonstrate that the rezones are consistent with the GP/CLUP. (See also the full GP/CLUP Consistency Analysis prepared for the project as Attachment H to the November 25, 2024 City Council Staff Report).

Objective LU-3: Preserve the small beach town character of the built environment of Carpinteria, encouraging compatible revitalization and avoiding Discussion
within the Urban Boundary. Site No. 8 is developed with industrial uses and is adjacent to similar uses to the north and west, with Highway 101 to the south.

Site Nos. 5 and 9 are vacant but surrounded by existing residential and/or industrial development on three sides. Mixed-use or residential development of these two Sites would not be considered sprawl given the existing and planned urban uses for the area.

The remaining 14 Candidate Opportunity Sites are infill sites that are not located serving uses (e.g., schools, grocery stores, pharmacies, parks, etc.) and from public transit stops. With the application of the Objective Design Standards, the future residential and mixed-use development on these sites would be compatible with the existing small beach town character.

Policy LU-3a. New development shall occur contiguous to existing developed areas of the city. Higher density in certain residential neighborhoods and for residential uses in commercial districts shall be provided as a means to concentrate development in the urban core consistent with zoning designations, particularly where redevelopment of existing structures is proposed. (emphasis added)
Discussion: All 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites are located within existing developed areas of the city. Site No. 21 has the least amount of surrounding development but supports existing industrial uses on half of its surface area and is adjacent to a public park to the west, Highway 101 to the north, offices to the east, and the railroad corridor to the south.

The RMU Zone would require any new development plans to include mediumdensity multifamily residential uses. Consistent with this policy, the Project with existing commercial/industrial land use designations. It would also prompt redevelopment on most of the Sites, particularly where existing buildings (e.g., office spaces) have seen diminished demand in recent years.

Objective LU-6: Create flexible land use and zoning standards for general commercial and industrial parcels that allow opportunities for residential use to Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
8 expand, as determined appropriate by the City, in response to changing needs relative to the jobs/housing balance locally and in the region, and as incentive toward the development of affordable housing. (emphasis added) Discussion: The application of the new RMU Zone to Candidate Opportunity 2023-2031 Housing Element, including the local and regional jobs/housing balance and the incentivization of affordable housing development. The goals of 1) providing diverse housing sites and opportunities;
2) conserving and improving the existing affordable housing stock; 3) removing governmental and other constraints to housing development; and
4) affirmatively furthering fair housing.

Policy LU-6a. The City may consider and permit mixed use (i.e., residential/commercial or residential/industrial) on parcels designated on Figure LU-1 for commercial or industrial use. Such mixed use may be considered if the City has found that either the allowance would encourage rehabilitation of important existing housing stock, or the residential use of the subject parcel(s) would result in the production of affordable housing in the community, and that mixed use on the site would assist the City in maintaining an appropriate balance between jobs and housing. Mixed-use development shall not be permitted on parcels designated for commercial or industrial use unless it is found by the City to be compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area surrounding the site. (emphasis added)
Discussion: As explained in more detail in the adopted 2023-2031 Housing Element, the City has found that the permitting of mixed-use and residential on parcels designated for commercial and industrial would result in affordable housing production. During the Housing Element Update process, only Candidate Opportunity Sites that were compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area surrounding the Site were selected. Application of the new RMU Zone to such Sites would enable the City to meet its near-term RHNA obligations.

This would also help the City to improve and maintain an appropriate jobshousing balance. As explained in the 2023-2031 RHNA Plan7 , the Santa
Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) reviewed the jobs and growth forecast, which forms the basis for the RHNA, considers areas where there are significant imbalances in jobs and housing and the likelihood of those imbalances changing in the future by applying existing and future jobs. The RHNA Plan includes consideration of existing and projected relationships 7 Available here: https://www.sbcag.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/final_rhna_plan.pdf Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
9 between low-wage jobs and lower-income housing. As such, the SBCAGadopted RHNA methodology includes a jobs housing fit adjustment factor that seeks to house more low-wage workers near higher housing cost areas and encourage zoning for more affordable housing types. The methodology used in the RHNA Plan was based, in part, on the following objective:

Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing, including an improved balance between the
number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction.

South-Coast emphasis on an improved jobs housing balance, income parity, and affirmatively furthering fair housing, strives to improve the jobs housing fit between low-wage jobs and the housing needs of low wage workers. The proposed rezoning of Candidate Opportunity Sites in Carpinteria to a new RMU zone would be a significant step toward meeting that goal in the South County.

Policy LU-6b. The City may consider and permit residential use on a parcel or parcels not designated for such use under certain circumstances. Such residential use may be considered on a parcel or parcels designated for commercial or industrial use if the City has found that either the allowance would encourage rehabilitation of important existing housing stock or the residential use of the subject parcel(s) would result in the production of affordable housing in the community, and that residential use on the site would assist the City in maintaining an appropriate balance between jobs and housing. Residential use shall not be permitted on parcels designated for commercial or industrial use unless it is found by the City to be compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area surrounding the site. A residential overlay zone district shall be maintained by the city with the purpose of permitting residential development on a parcel or parcels otherwise designated on the official land use and zoning maps of the city for commercial or industrial use. Implementation of the Residential Overlay zone district shall be permissive in nature and shall not be construed to restrict use already allowed in the base zone district. Further, the city shall retain the authority for determining where implementation of the residential overlay zone is appropriate. To encourage retention of local businesses where parcels are already developed for commercial or industrial use, application of the Residential Overlay shall be considered only after mixed use development, as allowed through policy LU-6a above, has been determined by the City to not be appropriate.

Discussion: As explained in more detail in the adopted 2023-2031 Housing Element, the City has found that the permitting of mixed-use and residential development on the selected Sites designated for commercial and industrial land uses would result in affordable housing production in the community. The 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites were identified because future mixed-use and Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
10 residential development on the selected properties would be compatible with existing uses surrounding the sites (see Housing Element Appendix B, including Site Profiles).

Although a residential overlay district was the preferred method to implement Program 1 in the Housing Element, a recent California court of appeal decision (Martinez v. City of Clovis (2023) 90 Cal.App.5th 193) found that on a zoning overlay did not satisfy Housing Element Law. Thus, a new RMU Zoning District has been created to meet the intent of this policy as well as the goals and programs of the Housing Element. The proposed RMU Zone would still be permissive in nature in that it would continue to allow for the uses that are currently permitted in the CPD and M-RP Zones. However, it would require multifamily housing to be included in any future development with incentives to include affordable units in accordance with State law.

Finally, the authority for determining the locations of the new RMU Zone stays with the City Council. City staff recommends that Sites fronting on Linden Avenue and Carpinteria Avenue maintain a commercial component on the (based on Community Design Element
Subarea 2a). In any case, the Planning Commission and the City Council will take into consideration whether multifamily residential uses are appropriate for the location prior to rezoning a Candidate Opportunity Site.

IV. CEQA Findings
The PEIR GP/CLUP was certified in April of 2003. CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when there is a previously certified EIR for the project.

CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162(a) and 15163 state that when an EIR has been certified for a project, no Subsequent or Supplemental EIR or Subsequent Negative Declaration shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole public record, one or more of the following:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

CEQA Addendum
11 3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; or
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previously certified EIR; or
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

CEQA Guidelines, Section 15164(a) states that an Addendum to a previously certified EIR may be prepared if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR have occurred.
adoption of
the GP/CLUP, including the buildout of the Land Use Map. As described in the Land Use Element, an additional 972 residential units and approximately 196,000 square feet of commercial and research park space was anticipated at buildout of the GP/CLUP.
half of the anticipated residential units have been built and/or permitted. As such, there is still growth capacity under the existing Plan and corresponding PEIR.

Since the proposal to rezone commercial and light industrial zones under the GC and RDI Designation areas to the new RMU zone would reduce potential for commercial and research park development while increasing potential residential development, a direct comparison of the 2003 anticipated buildout to the new potential buildout is not possible. However, a general comparison can be done.

For example, mixed-use and residential-only developments are already permissible at densities up to 20 dwelling units per acre in the CPD and M-RP zones . The RMU zone would increase density to allow for up to 25 dwelling units per acre. As shown in Table 3 below, the Project would potentially allow for up to 397 more residential units than the existing zoning/capacity. Thus, an additional 397 units would not exceed planned buildout under the existing GP/CLUP. The certified PEIR contemplated the potential impacts associated with the Project, including the full potential build out that had not occurred. Therefore, the Project does not propose substantial changes to the amount of development within the City that was evaluated in the PEIR for the GP/CLUP.

The proposed Project would not modify the GP/CLUP or its Land Use Map. The future development of the 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites would be infill development that was already planned for under the existing GP/CLUP and analyzed in the PEIR.

Further, the proposed Project would serve to implement many of the Land Use Element policies that specifically anticipated the need for mixed-use and residential infill uses in the GC and RDI land use categories.

With the exception of potential agricultural conversion, the previously certified PEIR found that all potential impacts of the GP/CLUP would be less than significant with adherence to the objectives and policies therein.

The proposed Project would not convert any agricultural resources and would not result in any new significant environmental effects, nor would it change the nature or scope of any previously identified impact areas or their mitigation measures. No open space areas or environmentally sensitive areas are proposed to be developed or indirectly impacted.

GP/CLUP and would apply to any future development proposals on the parcels affected by the proposed map revisions. Therefore, this Addendum finds the following:

Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
13 1. The proposed Project will not require any major revisions of the PEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;

2. There are no substantial changes that have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the PEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and

3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the PEIR was certified as complete, showing any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

Further, the City will need to process the rezones as a local coastal program amendment ( LCPA ) with the California Coastal Commission . The Coastal Commission will ultimately approve, modify, or deny the LCPA and conduct environmental review under its Certified Regulatory Program pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080.5, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15250- 15253, and Public Resources Code Section 30000 et seq. Therefore, while this Addendum is sufficient in itself, an additional level of environmental review will also be conducted by the Coastal Commission.

As identified above, the
2023-2031 Housing Element and would involve Zoning Amendments to add a new Residential/Mixed Use (RMU) Zoning District and new Objective Design Standards, and to amend the Zoning Map to rezone up to 17 Candidate Opportunity Sites to RMU.

The primary changes from the Project are additional residential density on sites already zoned to permit medium density residential use and mixed use. The proposed Project would not result in any changes to City land use designations or GP/CLUP policies.

The changes resulting from the proposed Project do not constitute substantial changes to the GP/CLUP, its circumstances, or include new information of substantial importance. The modifications would not involve substantial changes in the magnitude of impacts identified in the previously certified PEIR and would not create new Housing Element Zoning Amendment, Attachment E
CEQA Addendum
14 potentially significant impacts that would require mitigation. Therefore, none of the circumstances identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) are present.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum is the appropriate CEQA document for the Project. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole public record suggesting that the project would result in significant environmental impacts not otherwise addressed in the previous EIR. Consequently, a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required.

3. Coastal Resource Protection. Where compliance with only the objective standards of this Local Coastal Program is required under state housing law for a proposed residential or mixed-use development and where an applicable coastal resource protection policy or provision of this Local Coastal Program contains objective and subjective components, the objective portion(s) shall apply such that adverse impacts to coastal resources shall be avoided.

Suggested Modification No. 2
Section 14.04.030 shall be modified as follows:
4 Section 14.04.030 – Applicability.

The provisions of this title shall apply to all development in the city with the exception of the following:
a. Any development for which the city's regulation of the same is preempted or precluded by any valid state or federal law, rule or regulation and then only to the extent of such preemption or preclusion;

II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION, MOTIONS, AND RESOLUTIONS

FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN/COASTAL ZONING

ORDINANCE (IP/CZO) AMENDMENT
Following public hearing, staff recommends the Commission adopt the following resolutions and findings. The appropriate motion to introduce each resolution and a staff recommendation is provided.

A. DENIAL OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN/COASTAL ZONING

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED
MOTION I:

I move that the Commission reject City of Carpinteria Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1 as submitted.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF REJECTION:

Staff recommends a YES vote. Passage of this motion will result in denial of the Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance Amendment as submitted and adoption of the following resolution and findings. The motion passes only by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Commissioners present.

RESOLUTION TO DENY AS SUBMITTED:

The Commission hereby denies certification of the Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1 as submitted by the City of Carpinteria, and adopts the findings set forth below on grounds that the Implementation Plan Amendment, as submitted, does not conform with, and is inadequate to carry out, the provisions of the certified Land Use Plan. Certification of the Implementation Plan amendment would not meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, as there are feasible alternatives and mitigation measures that would substantially lessen LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1 (Housing Element Rezones)
6 the significant adverse impacts on the environment that will result from certification of the Implementation Plan Amendment as submitted.

B. CERTIFICATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN/COASTAL ZONING

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IF MODIFIED
MOTION II:

I move that the Commission certify City of Carpinteria Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1 if it is modified as suggested in this staff report.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO CERTIFY WITH SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS:

Staff recommends a YES vote. Passage of this motion will result in certification of the amendment with suggested modifications and adoption of the following resolution and findings. The motion passes only by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Commissioners present.

RESOLUTION TO CERTIFY WITH SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS:

The Commission hereby certifies the City of Carpinteria Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. LCP-4-CPN-24-0066-1, if modified as suggested, and adopts the findings set forth below on grounds that the Implementation Plan Amendment with the suggested modifications conforms with, and is adequate to carry out, the provisions of the certified Land Use Plan. Certification of the Implementation Plan Amendment, if modified as suggested, complies with the California Environmental Quality Act, because either 1) feasible mitigation measures and/or alternatives have been incorporated to substantially lessen any significant adverse effects of the Implementation Plan Amendment on the environment, or 2) there are no further feasible alternatives or mitigation measures that would substantially lessen any significant adverse impacts which the land use plan amendment may have on the environment.

III. SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS
Staff recommends the Commission certify the proposed IP/CZO amendment, with three (3) suggested modifications as shown below. Existing language of the certified Implementation Plan/Coastal Zoning Ordinance is shown in straight type.
