Levine Act Warning
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 $500 from any party for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered by the City. No City Council Member may accept, solicit, or direct any contribution from an agent of the party during the same time frame. This prohibition commences when an item involving the entitlement has been placed on the City Council’s agenda for a public meeting, when the City Council Members knows the action is within the City Council’s jurisdiction and it is reasonably foreseeable that it will come before the City Council as a decisionmaker, or when the proceeding is before the City Council for its decision. 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 $500 made to any Council Member by the applicant, or any donations made by the 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 $500 within the preceding 12 months from any party, or who received any donations from an 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. Failure to do so may affect the City’s ability to process your application.

A group of 12 people joined in to learn important financial skills, including how to make a budget, pay off debts, manage their cash, and work towards achieving their big money goals for the future. This was a wonderful moment to expand my understanding of money management! The Library launched a free, introductory English as a Second Language (ESL) class on Saturdays from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m., running from June 21 through August 9 in the Library Community Room.

In October 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Walker Parking Consultants for updating a 2009 parking demand analysis for the Walker Parking Consultants subsequently prepared the Downtown Carpinteria Parking Study based on the updated parking demand analysis. In November 2021, the City Council accepted the Downtown Carpinteria Parking Study.

The purpose of the Downtown Carpinteria Parking Study was to provide sufficient information for the City to:

1. Gain a better understanding of the existing downtown public parking demand in relation to available inventory;

2. Gain a better understanding of the potential future downtown public parking demand based on sample development project scenarios;

3. Gain a better understanding of management strategies, e.g., timed parking limits, that could improve efficiency of public parking resources in the downtown area.

4. Identify potential new public parking opportunities that could increase public parking inventory; and

5. Provide a foundation for consideration of capital project, use regulation, and mitigation fee program updates.

Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 8
Council Meeting Date: July 14, 2025
Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Walker Parking Consultants July 14, 2025

Based on the information from the Downtown Carpinteria Parking Study, the City would be able to develop , herein called
Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan. The Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan would determine where restrictions on public parking are appropriate such as timed parking, loading zones, etc.; how much off-street parking that private developments should be required to provide given public parking resources; and assess interest in preserving, expanding, or improving the traditional downtown development pattern.

On May 23, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Walker Parking Consultants for developing the Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan in an amount not to exceed $37,965. In April 2023, the Public Facility Site Acquisition/Development Committee reviewed the Draft Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan and recommended for staff to wait until the 700 Linden Adaptive Reuse Project, which is now known as Linden Square, is completed in order to reevaluate public parking. Since then, the Draft Downtown Parking Management Plan was suspended.

Linden Square is now complete, and the purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Walker Parking Consultants for updating the Draft Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan in an amount not to exceed $24,825 for a total amended agreement amount of $62,790. DISCUSSION
Walker Parking Consultants submitted a proposal for additional services to update the Draft Parking Management Plan. In general, the proposed scope of work consists of performing data collection of parking counts and parking length of stay within the month of August 2025 (i.e. every 90 minutes between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday), updating the Draft Parking Management Plan and attending meetings with the Public Facilities/Site Acquisition Development Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council.

Re: Proposal for Parking Planning Study
Updated Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan 2025 Dear Mr. Illasin:

We are pleased to submit a proposal to prepare an updated Parking Management Plan for the City of Carpinteria.

Project Understanding
Walker prepared a Draft Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan (referred to as the Downtown PMP).

This plan was presented to the Public Facility Site Acquisition/Development Committee. Per the Committee's direction, the Draft Downtown Carpinteria Parking Management Plan will return to the Committee after constructing the 700 Linden mixed-use development project. The 700 Linden Project is close to completion, and multiple businesses in the development are expected to open in May 2025.

The City of Carpinteria has requested that Walker Consultants conduct an updated parking study in Downtown Carpinteria to quantify public parking conditions once the 700 Linden project is operational. As needed, Walker will update the Parking Management Plan based on the data collected.

Scope of Services
Task 1 Parking Data Collection
Walker will collect parking demand in Downtown Carpinteria in Summer 2025. Data collection will include:

Parking occupancy counts of all the public parking areas (both on-street and off-street) in the T-Zone study area every 90 minutes between 10am-7pm on a consecutive Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in August 2025 (specific dates to be confirmed with the City). o The purpose of the parking occupancy counts is to understand parking utilization throughout the T-Zone at different times of the day and on different days of the week during peak summer parking conditions.

Proposal for Carpinteria Parking Study 2025
Prepared for City of Carpinteria
2 Parking length of stay data in all of the public parking areas (both on-street and off-street) in the T-Zone study area every 90 minutes between 10am-7pm on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in August. o The purpose of the parking length of stay data is to understand how long vehicles are parking in different parts of the T-Zone and to identify potential parking user groups to inform parking management recommendations.
o The parking length of stay counts will be performed on the same days and times as the parking occupancy counts.

Walker will summarize the data collection results in a memorandum with narrative, tables, graphics, and maps. The analysis will help determine how much parking conditions have changed in the T-Zone since summer 2022, the last time parking data was collected.

Task 2 Updated Parking Management Plan
Based on the data collected, Walker will update the draft Parking Management Plan. Walker will provide an updated Parking Management Plan along with a PowerPoint presentation to be delivered at the meetings listed in Task 3.

Task 3 - Meetings
This scope of services anticipates regular check-in virtual conferences with City staff on an as-needed basis.

This scope of services assumes that Walker will attend (virtually) and present at the following public meetings:
(1) Public Facilities/Site Acquisition Development Committee Meeting (1) Planning Commission Meetings
(1) City Council Meeting
Schedule
Walker anticipates collecting the parking data in August 2025 (exact dates to be confirmed with City staff). After collecting the parking data, Walker will update the Parking Management Plan within three (3) weeks.

Professional Fee
Walker will complete the scope of services described here for a lump sum fee of $21,885, inclusive of other direct costs. A breakdown of the budget, including labor classification, hours, hourly rate, and other direct costs, is included as an attachment.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit this scope of services. Please let us know if you have any questions.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Review of 2024 Carpinteria home sales prices and setting of the 2025 in-lieu affordable housing fee pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.75, Inclusionary Housing Requirement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
the 2024 calendar year,
and the 2025 affordable housing in-lieu fees for condominiums and single-family dwellings.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file
the 2024 calendar year, and the 2025 affordable housing in-lieu fees for condominiums and single-family dwellings.

BACKGROUND
In June 2004, the City Council adopted the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Ord. 590) and approved an In-lieu Fee Program (Program) codified in Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.75 (Code). The Code indicates that as a condition of approval, all residential development projects of five or more housing units involving a subdivision map for the purpose of creating individual ownership units or parcels shall construct 12% of the total units for a target sales price set at a price affordable to - income households earning at least 121% and no more than 200% of the area median income (AMI). The program does not apply to rental apartments, although, as part of the Housing Element, the Code may be expanded or
amended to include them.

The in-lieu fee amounts are set annually based on a formula that is part of the Program provisions that include the median sales prices of single-family dwellings and condominiums for the prior year, the median household income for the County of Santa Barbara, and the current mortgage interest rate. The current in-lieu fees were established in July 2023 by Resolution No. 6260, at $973,500 for Single Family Dwellings and $316,600 for Condominiums, respectively. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance states that the City Council may update the in-lieu fees annually to allow the fees to stay current with median housing prices, median incomes, and mortgage interest rates. Because the Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 9
Council Meeting Date: July 14, 2025
2025 Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees Update
July 14, 2025

City has an interest in ensuring that in-lieu fees collected over time are adequate to facilitate affordable housing projects and programs, it has been the adopt annual adjustments. However, in 2024, the calculated fees decreased from the prior year, so the City Council opted to leave the fees at the 2023 adopted rates.

DISCUSSION
In-lieu Fees: The Inclusionary Housing Requirements include a preference for developers to construct the required number of income-restricted residential for-sale units as a part of their projects. Paying the in-lieu fee is an alternative to constructing the onsite affordable units and in order to authorize payment of the in-lieu fee, the City Council must first determine that the construction of the units is infeasible. The Inclusionary Requirements establish the in-lieu fees as an amount sufficient to make up the monetary gap between the median sales price of a unit and the housing price affordable to a household earning 121% of the AMI.

Median Sales Prices: To determine the median sales price of units sold in 2024, Community Development Department staff accessed the County of Santa Barbara The data showed the sales of 31 single-family dwellings and 49 condominiums recorded in 2024 within the City of Carpinteria, not including gift or inheritance transfers. The median sale price was $1,519,500 for single-family dwellings and $825,000 for condominiums (see Attachment A and Attachment B for details).

As background, in 2023, there were 59 single family dwellings sold with a median sales price of $1,453,750 and 53 condominiums sold at a median sales price of $805,000.

Interest Rate: The mortgage interest rate used as an average is 6.85%, taken from the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average in the United States as calculated by Freddie Mac.

County Area Median Income: The Santa Barbara County annual AMI remained the same in 2025 at $119,100 for a household of four.

Requirements provide that in-lieu housing fees should be set for a - income household of four persons that earns between 121% and 200% of the AMI.

Using the adopted in-lieu fee formula with the updates described above, the 2025 in-lieu fees for single-family dwellings and condominiums are calculated as shown below. 2025: Single Family Dwelling In-lieu Fee
$1,519,500 (median 2024 SFD sales price) minus $581,100 (max. sales price for an income of 121% of the AMI) equals $938,400 In-lieu Fee, which is $35,100 below the adopted 2023 In-lieu Fee of $973,500.
2025 Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees Update
July 14, 2025

2025: Condominium In-lieu Fee
$825,000 (median 2024 condominium sales price) minus $514,300 (max. sales price for an income of 121% of AMI) equals $310,700 In-lieu Fee, which is $5,900 below the adopted 2023 In-lieu Fee of $316,600.

While the 2025 In-lieu Fees are higher than the calculated 2024 In-lieu fees that the City Council chose not to adopt, the 2025 In-lieu Fees are still below the currently adopted 2023 In-lieu Fees shown above. As such, to ensure that in-lieu fees remain adequate to facilitate affordable housing projects and programs, staff recommends the Council retain the currently adopted 2023 In-lieu Fees.

These calculations are shown in more detail in Attachment C, Exhibits 1 and 2.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Government Code Section 65580 et. seq. mandates that cities implement programs to ensure there are sufficient sites to address the community's housing needs, offset the demand on housing created by new development, and protect the economic diversity of housing stock by promoting the development of affordable housing. The City's Housing Element further mandates that it adopt an inclusionary housing ordinance, which has been established in Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.75 Inclusionary Housing Requirement. Setting the in-lieu fees annually is consistent with these laws and policies.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Consideration of an annual adjustment of the fees ensures that the City has sufficient revenue to meet program objectives. There is no anticipated significant financial impact to the City as a result of updating the Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees. There is no fund balance in the In-lieu Fee Fund as no projects have yet been authorized to pay an in-lieu fee. Historically, the City has opted for the construction of affordable units over the payment of the In-lieu Fee.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Adoption of the In-lieu Fees is statutorily exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Article 20, Section 15378 as the adoption of the fees does not involve a commitment to any specific project or course of action that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Authorization for the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting design services for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting design services in an amount not to exceed $1,619,993 for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting design services in an amount not to exceed $1,619,993 for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project. (The motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
coastline is vulnerable to coastal erosion,
coastal flooding, and sea level rise. Large storms, ocean waves, and onshore winds contribute to this vulnerability. Storm events between 1969 and 1998 serve as examples of when private and public improvements along the ocean front were damaged or severely threatened. Historically, Carpinteria was occupied by an extensive wetland and -mile of shoreline supported a large dune
complex that buffered low-lying areas from ocean waves and flooding. These dunes allowed the formation of vegetated wetlands and intertidal sand and mud flats. Much of the low-lying neighborhoods and Carpinteria State Beach are within these former wetlands and are increasingly subject to future coastal flooding and tidal inundation due to projected sea level rise. Planning efforts at the local, regional, and state level are underway to develop long-term mitigation measures.

The Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan (Adaptation Plan) identified the western portion of Carpinteria including the beach neighborhood as particularly vulnerable to coastal hazards and sea level rise. This is due to low elevation and unprotected shoreline as well as the combined fluvial flood hazards from Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 10
Council Meeting Date: July 14, 2025
Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project July 14, 2025

Carpinteria Creek, Franklin Creek, Santa Monica Creek, and Carpinteria Salt Marsh. A living shoreline was identified in the Adaptation Plan as a mitigation measure for these combined coastal hazards.

In June 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5906, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the California Department of Transportation for award of the Adaptation Planning Grant towards the preparation of a Dune and Shoreline Management Plan which included a conceptual design of a living shoreline project and guidance for future project milestones.

Development of a living shoreline project is identified as an adaptation and resiliencePlan was prepared to guide the City in developing a living shoreline project to address near- and mid-term sea level rise vulnerabilities. It also serves as a roadmap that enables the City to pursue additional grant funding for further design development. A conceptual living shoreline design, shown in Figure 1 below, illustrates the preliminary nature-based approach, which includes sediment nourishment and a dune system with native vegetation, while maintaining public access and recreational use along Carpinteria City Beach.

Figure 1. Conceptual Living Shoreline Design
Since initiating the Dune and Shoreline Management Plan, staff conducted five (5) public workshops (September 23, 2020; January 27, 2021; May 6, 2021; October 21, 2021; and January 13, 2022). Staff also conducted multiple meetings with key stakeholders and a public comment period in an effort to engage stakeholders and solicit feedback. On July Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project July 14, 2025

11, 2022, the City Council accepted the Dune and Shoreline Management Plan and directed staff to seek funding for further development of a living shoreline.

Ongoing work at the state level as well as local and regional partnerships continue to explore the complex issues facing coastal communities in addressing long-term solutions to sea level rise. The City closely monitors state legislative actions related to sea level rise and continues to work with other local agencies on a regional scale. Long-term planning efforts that are being undertaken include updates to the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. The City also partners with the Santa Barbara Climate Collaborative and Beach Erosion Authority for Clean Oceans and Nourishment (also known as BEACON), respectively, and the City is a member of both. These partnerships will also serve as venues for public outreach and technical review.

On April 18, 2024, a Coastal Conservancy Grant in the amount of $1,620,000 from the State Coastal Conservancy was awarded to the City for the design phase of the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project. The grant funds the following design phase activities:

1. Comprehensive budget analysis.

2. Extensive community engagement.

3. Preparation of an environmental document.

4. Preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates.

The grant does not require a local funding match.

On June 24, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6329, approving the Coastal Conservancy Grant from the State Coastal Conservancy for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project. (In April 2024, the State Coastal Conservancy also awarded grants to two other projects in southern Santa Barbara County $1,200,000 to the County of Santa Barbara for developing the Santa Barbara County Sediment Management Program and $950,000 to Resilient Cities Catalyst for preparing the Goleta Slough Area Coastal Resilience Adaptation Plan. It is expected for some overlap in the outreach efforts for all three projects which allows for the participating organizations to maximize the use of funding where possible.)
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting design services in an amount not to exceed $1,619,993 for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project.

DISCUSSION
In March 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for consulting design services.

On May 1, 2025, two (2) proposals were received from the following firms:

Integral Consulting, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA)
Moffatt & Nichol (Long Beach, CA)
Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project July 14, 2025

Staff conducted a qualifications-based selection (QBS) process to procure professional consulting services in accordance with City and State guidelines. QBS is a competitive, contract procurement process whereby consulting firms initially submit a proposal outlining their qualifications, proposed scope of work, and schedule to the procuring entity (e.g. City) who evaluates and selects the most qualified firm, and then negotiates the consultant fee. The QBS process is consistent with California Government Code Section 4525 et al. for procuring professional or consulting services of private architectural, landscape architectural, professional engineering, environmental, land surveying, and construction project management firms.

Staff evaluated the proposals and conferred with the grant administrator, State Coastal Conservancy. Staff determined Integral Consulting, Inc. to be responsive to the RFP, demonstrating high level experience, qualifications, favorable reference checks, and understanding of the City . Staff requested a fee proposal from Integral Consulting, Inc. There are no formal City standards or regulatory criteria governing fee negotiation for professional or consulting services. Fee negotiation is typically to mutually agree on the level of effort hours and . Staff determined the fee to be fair and reasonable.

If approved, this agreement will allow Integral Consulting, Inc. to complete the full design and permitting phase of the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project including preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), CEQA environmental documentation, and coastal regulatory permitting support. These deliverables will result in a complete, permit-ready set of bid documents that will position the City to pursue future construction funding opportunities.

The proposed Agreement, including the scope of work and fee details, is provided as Attachment A. The term of the Agreement is for three (3) years from Fiscal Year 2025/26 through Fiscal Year 2027/28. The project budget would be allocated across those three fiscal years as shown below:

Fiscal Year
Funding Source 2025/26 2026/27 2027/28 Total
State Grant (Coastal Conservancy Grant) $600,000 $650,000 $370,000 $1,620,000 The proposed fee of $1,619,993 by Integral Consulting, Inc. meets said project budget.

The project cost is not expected to exceed the appropriated budget for each fiscal year.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with the following policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:

Safety Element
Objective S-4: Minimize the potential risks and reduce the loss of life, property and the economic and social dislocations resulting from flooding.

Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project July 14, 2025

Implementation Policy:

13. The City shall support and facilitate the current Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) feasibility study and otherwise pursue long-term solutions for beach nourishment and establishment of a vegetated dune system at City Beach. As an interim measure, and with permission from the Coastal Commission and US Army Corps of Engineers, the City may construct a sand berm on the City Beach parallel to the homes fronting on the beach.

The recommendation is also consistent with the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan and the Dune and Shoreline Management Plan.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No additional funding is requested. There is sufficient budget in 301-403-5780 Capital Improvements Program Fund.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the California Government Code Section 4525 et al. for procuring professional or consulting services.

OPTIONS

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Integral Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting design services in an amount not to exceed $1,619,993 for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project. (Staff recommendation)

2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate; however, non-action would delay the project.

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

Dr. Tehranirad served as the Principal modeler and analyst for a sediment fate and beach response study assessing localized nourishment from sediment releases at Ash Avenue and other coastal access points. Utilized Delft3D to simulate wave-driven transport and deposition patterns, informing design criteria for nourishment-compatible access infrastructure. This work directly supports the goals of the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project by providing siteunderstanding of sediment behavior and beach-dune interaction along an unarmored stretch of coast.

Project Management, Outreach, Environmental, and Engineering Services for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project May 1, 2025 11 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Carpinteria’s coastline is highly dynamic and vulnerable to coastal hazards including beach erosion, wave runup, and tidal inundation. As documented in the Integral staff-written SLRVAAP, much of the City’s residential, recreational, and ecological assets that drive the City’s economy are located at low elevations behind an unarmored shoreline. Proactive shoreline management and adaptation
measures are therefore critical. In response to
escalating coastal risks and the long-term threat
of sea level rise, the City is seeking a resilient,
nature-based solution to protect residential
development, public infrastructure, natural
resources, and public access over the coming
decades. The Carpinteria Living Shoreline
Project represents a vital opportunity to build
long-term coastal resilience through strategic
sediment augmentation, dune restoration, and
practices to enhance natural coastal protection.

Through academic research, work with
BEACON, the USGS, and local partners, our team
has contributed to foundational studies of
Carpinteria’s coastal processes, including
sediment budgets, littoral transport patterns,
and adaptation planning. We have an in-depth
understanding of local sand sources, including regional dredging operations and historic borrow area assessments. Past and dune systems. The Santa Barbara County Flood Control’s Beach SMART program is looking at some of these more regional issues and will be an important collaborator. Integral is part of the Beach SMART team and can help integrate the regional program into the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project.

Historically, Carpinteria’s western shoreline and adjacent Sandyland supported an extensive dune and wetland system that buffered inland areas from coastal storm impacts. However, human alterations including construction of the Santa Barbara harbor and watershed debris basins, as well as shoreline armoring upcoast, flow of sediment along the shoreline and thus reduced the natural resilience of this system3. Since the early 1980s, Carpinteria has had a long history of constructing a seasonal “winter storm berm” along the beach to protect inland assets during the winter storm season. However, the traditional method of berm construction—removing sand from the foreshore using heavy equipment and pushing it into a berm along the backshore—may have unintentionally contributed to the longthe excavation and relocation of transport by winter waves4. The cumulative effect has been a substantial loss of this critical natural armor layer, reducing the beach’s resilience to storm wave energy.

In parallel to implementing the Living Shoreline Project, there are opportunities to enhance supporting practices such as debris basin management and seasonal berm construction. In the Carpinteria area, debris basins were originally constructed to trap sediment, cobbles, and debris during high-flow storm events to protect downstream communities.

However, current management practices involve clearing debris basin materials and placement at a single beach location at Ash Avenue, without processing or optimizing the material for coastal resilience purposes. The community has raised concerns about these placements and these must be considered in this project. These placements, especially those , have been analyzed extensively by Integral staff and will be integrated into 3 Revell et al., 2008. Influence of Harbor Construction on Downcoast Morphological Evolution: Santa Barbara, California. Solutions to Coastal Disasters, 2008. ASCE 4 Revell, D.L., 2007. Long Term and Storm Event Changes in the Santa Barbara Sandshed. PhD Dissertation. Earth Science Department, University of California, Santa Cruz. March 148 pp.

Project Management, Outreach, Environmental, and Engineering Services for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project May 1, 2025 12 the design and maintenance recommendations of the project. Critical resources that historically existed along the shoreline such as cobbles—highly effective for energy dissipation and shoreline stabilization—are thus underutilized. More sustainable practices could allow selective use of sediment and cobbles to enhance dune formation, nourish backshore areas, and reinforce the natural coastal defense system, increasing resilience while minimizing the need to import material from outside the system.
seasonal erosion
the heavily used road end beach access ways, the emergency lifeguard access at Ash Avenue and Linden Avenue, and the volleyball courts between the City and the State Beach. During the summer season, the junior lifeguard program, disabled access, kayak launching, and City beach rentals must be considered. During winter, these same locations need to be integrated into the living shoreline approach to minimize erosion and wave flooding impacts.

We recognize that the Living Shoreline Project is a direct extension of the City’s broader adaptation planning efforts, including the SLRVAAP and the recently accepted Dune and Shoreline Management Plan. We are intimately familiar with these studies, having contributed to many of the technical analyses and public discussions surrounding their development.

We understand the importance of ensuring consistency with the City’s General Plan/Local Coastal Program Update and of aligning the Living Shoreline Project with the City’s adaptation strategy matrix for sea level rise.

Leveraging our extensive site- knowledge, expertise in nature-based shoreline protection, and strong relationships with local partners and stakeholders, our team is uniquely positioned to help the City deliver a resilient living shoreline that restores natural coastal defenses, protects vital infrastructure, and safeguards Carpinteria’s treasured coastline for future generations. Our team will support the City in evaluating enhancements to existing maintenance practices, ensuring they are aligned with the goals of the Living Shoreline Project and contribute to a sustainable, selfreinforcing coastal protection strategy.

APPROACH TO SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project represents a pivotal opportunity to develop sustainable, nature-based sediment management strategies that enhance coastal resilience while integrating the needs of diverse stakeholders, including Tribal groups and underrepresented communities. The Integral team, supported by Rincon Consultants and Strategic Earth Consulting, proposes a comprehensive and siteProject. Our methodology combines technical s rigor, ecological sensitivity, widespread living shoreline engineering experience, application of coastal modeling tools, and community-centered engagement and planning to ensure the project is not only technically and environmentally sound but also supported by the community it is intended to protect.

Integral and our teaming partners recognize the critical importance of addressing the challenges facing Carpinteria’s coastline, where reductions in sediment supply, chronic coastal erosion, predictable storm impact responses, and climate change impacts threaten both ecological and human communities. We bring a deep connection to the Santa Barbara region through decades of work in coastal resilience, sediment management, and community-based planning. Building on the foundation of the City’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan (SLRVAAP) and the Carpinteria Dune and Shoreline Management Plan, we will deliver a Living Shoreline project designed to protect landward resources, enhance natural coastal functions, and sustain the City's coastline through mid-century and beyond. and evaluate beach and dune performance over time. Drawing on historical shoreline data, wave and water level records, previous work, and relevant regional datasets, we will assess potential erosion scenarios and optimize nourishment We understand that success requires more than technical excellence; it demands seamless integration of community voices, successful navigation of regulatory processes and environmental review, implementable property access strategies, and siteOur team will maintain close collaboration with City staff, key stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and Tribal partners to ensure the Living Shoreline is implementable, enduring, and reflective of Carpinteria’s values.

Project Management, Outreach, Environmental, and Engineering Services for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project May 1, 2025 13 Modern adaptation planning requires a holistic approach that balances flood risk reduction, beach habitat preservation, recreation, and equitable access for historically marginalized and Indigenous communities. We are well-positioned to build upon the City’s previous and ongoing efforts and collaborate with regional partners to deliver a holistic, actionable solution for the Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project.

Relevant Experience

COASTAL ENGINEERING
Barrier Island Restoration Program, Louisiana — Six barrier island restoration projects (Chaland Headland, Shell Island, Pelican Island, West Bell Pass, East Grand Terre, and Chenier Ronquille) constructed along 15.5 miles of Gulf shoreline included the dredging and placement of 18,362,000 cubic yards of sand and 9,016,000 cubic yards of mixed sediment to restore 1,441 acres of beach and dune and create 2,181 acres of marsh. Several of these barrier island restoration projects were augmented by the emergency berm that included the dredging and placement of 10,000,000 cubic yards of sand to protect interior marshes from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

As project engineer, designed three of these projects (Shell Island, West Belle Pass, and Chenier Ronquille) and the emergency berm, provided bid support services for five of these projects (all except Chaland Headland), and provided construction engineering support services for all of these projects. Specific design tasks performed include the following: engineering assessment to evaluate various footprint configurations and the ability to construct a primary dike to contain marsh fill necessary to meet both habitat restoration and design life requirements, feasibility analysis of dredging access and using in situ material to construct the primary dike within the web of oil and gas infrastructure, extreme event analyses to define design conditions, numerical modeling to define cross-section design requirements that considered both storm erosion and overwash, engineering assessments to develop a sediment budget and define advanced fill requirements, fill volume calculations that account for settlement or consolidation and offshore losses necessary to properly design offshore borrow areas, project performance projection calculations to assess wetland value acreage within specific tidal elevation ranges, and probable construction cost and timeline estimates. Design recommendations were provided based on review and analytical comparison of morphological modeling results. Developed construction plans and specifications to prepare bid packages.

Dare County Beach Nourishment Program, North Carolina — As project engineer, completed various engineering and modeling tasks to help design and plan beach nourishment projects for the towns of Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills. These four towns participated in a comprehensive beach nourishment project between May and October 2017 that included the dredging and placement of 3,927,000 cubic yards of sand to provide storm protection along 8.3 miles of Atlantic shoreline and restore 80 acres of beach.

models to support project design: 1) the Storm Induced Beach Change (SBEACH) model that simulates profile changes that result from varying storm waves and water levels to evaluate cross-shore performance, 2) the Generalized Model for Simulating Shoreline Change (GENESIS) model that simulates shoreline changes that result from variations in the wave driven longshore transport to evaluate longshore performance, 3) the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model that simulates wave propagation while accounting for the shoaling, refraction, diffraction, wind growth, whitecapping, and bottom damping of spectral waves, and 4) various run-up models used to evaluate the extent of wave inundation. To support project design and modeling, reviewed available wave, water level, and wind data and completed extreme analyses to define return period events and design conditions; analyzed water level data to develop relative sea level rise projections; analyzed historic shorelines and calculated shoreline change; analyzed profile data to define the active profile height; calculated volume changes using surface, profile, and shoreline based methods; and developed a sediment budget. The SWAN, GENESIS, and SBEACH models were then calibrated using data collected at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Field Research Facility, while the run-up model was selected by comparing various analytical models with measurements collected along the Town of Kitty Hawk. Advanced fill requirements defined using the sediment budget, combined with design cross-sections developed using the SBEACH model and taper designs developed using the GENESIS model, were used to define design alternatives that offered various levels of protection.

Statewide Small-Scale Beach Restoration Program, Hawaii — As Project manager, developed the statewide small-scale beach restoration (SSBR) program in collaboration with the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands and the USACE Honolulu District. Worked with team members to prepare a comprehensive Programmatic Environmental Assessment to support program development and pursuit of a Regional General Permit, Conservation District Use Permit, and a Programmatic Agreement.

Evaluated and defined program purpose and need, identified and detailed the proposed action and alternatives, defined best management practices to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, and outlined required environmental regulations and permits. The purpose of the SSBR program is to provide a streamlined permitting approach that allows for the implementation of coastal erosion control projects that result in ecosystem restoration. Actions included within the program (beach management, beach maintenance, and beach stabilization) were designed to manage erosion threats to shoreline property and infrastructure, reduce impacts associated with climate change and sea level rise, and increase overall coastal resilience. Other benefits include ensuring the continued provision of habitat for various threatened and endangered species, protecting cultural sites and burials in the backshore, and improving water quality by providing a natural buffer between waves and exposed soil deposits, and onsite sewage disposal systems along eroded shorelines.

Repair of Metals Landfill Stone Revetment, Adak, Alaska — As engineer of record, helped develop a construction work plan for Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest for the repair of a damaged rubble-mound revetment to protect the metals landfill (SWMU 13) at the former naval air facility on Adak Island, Alaska. Design wave conditions, used to appropriately size armor stone, were evaluated using the numerical wave transformation model SWAN; this wave model study was a critical design tool as it showed that large Bering Sea waves were able to propagate across Sitkin Sound and enter Kuluk Bay. Construction plans and specifications that considered remote location limitations, were developed to support the work plan. Immediately Andrew Wycklendt, P.E., BCCE 4
prior to construction, a small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) was used to map the project site and update the construction plans accordingly. Drone imagery and resultant point cloud data were used to map structure elevations, side slopes, stone sizes, and relative stability. Relative stability was then used to rank repair areas in terms of damage susceptibility to best use available funds. Following construction, a small UAS was used to collect data needed to create as-built drawings and confirm placement quantities and improved structural stability. Drone imagery and resultant point cloud data were used to map postconstruction elevations, side slopes, stone sizes, and relative stability and graphically show or calculate elevation changes, slope changes, quantity and size of stones placed, changes in the stone size distribution, and the extent of stability improvements. The project completion report was approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation without comment.

Martin County Boat Ramp Improvements, Martin County, Florida —Provided professional engineering services necessary to completely replace and improve the sustainability and adaptability of the boat ramps, waterfront structures, and associated access at Sandsprit Park and Stuart Causeway. Both projects included the development of an adaptation management plan that considered sea level rise and storm forces (waves, currents, tides, and surge) and their effects on boat ramp and waterfront structure use and sustainability. Provided recommendations for adapting the boat ramps and waterfront structures to sea level rise and increased community use. For example, the Sandsprit Park boat ramp incorporated floating docks and gangways to adapt to sea level rise. For the Stuart Causeway boat ramp floating docks were considered, however, the long fetch at this site results in wave conditions that exceed those recommended for floating dock use. The client did not want to place a wave screen adjacent to the navigation channel in the Intracoastal Waterway; therefore, a novel concept of designing adjustable composite docks was pursued at the Stuart Causeway site. The Sandsprit Park boat ramp improvement project included the demolition of two concrete boat ramps, two floating docks, four fixed timber docks, and one concrete bulkhead/groin and included the construction/installation of two concrete boat ramps with vinyl sheet pile scour protection, three floating concrete docks, three aluminum gangways, two fixed timber docks, two custom fendering systems, one steel sheet pile bulkhead/groin extension, one concrete bulkhead/groin, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking and access, overflow lot, and gutter/curb improvements. The Stuart Causeway boat ramp improvement project includes the demolition of one concrete boat ramp and three fixed timber docks and proposed construction/installation includes one concrete boat ramp with vinyl sheet pile scour protection, three adjustable composite docks, two vinyl sheet pile fendering systems, four plastic lumber fendering systems, extending a rubble mound revetment, installing beach mats, ADA parking and access, and gutter/curb improvements. As project manager, planned and coordinated engineering site investigations and assessments, geotechnical explorations and studies, topobathymetric and biological surveys, and environmental compliance sampling and analysis. As project engineer, developed demolition and conceptual design plans, completed feasibility study, prepared adaptation management plan, completed technical studies and analyzed design forces (soil, wind, wave, berthing), used value engineering to finalize design, coordinated NEPA documentation to obtain state and federal permits, prepared construction cost estimate and schedule, compiled specifications from various technical resources and codes, and prepared construction plans according to internal CAD policies and procedures. During Sandsprit project construction, worked with civil engineering staff to appropriately model and develop plan modifications to resolve a reported trailer scraping problem that occurred at the boat ramp and Andrew Wycklendt, P.E., BCCE 5
upland parking lot transition and rapidly developed a design to repair a bulkhead that failed when the contractor did not appropriately brace load bearing walls when the site was dewatered during a king tide event.

Letter of Map Revision, Long Beach, New York — As project manager and coastal flood mapping specialist, completed a flood risk assessment and prepared a letter of map revision (LOMR) request for beach development. The flood risk assessment included due diligence research and completing a coastal engineering analysis to assess coastal flood risk and identify mitigation alternatives. Construction plans prepared for the development site were reviewed to identify any modifications that could be made to reduce flood insurance requirements. It was learned that the development site is currently located within the Coastal High Hazard Area (zone VE) flood zone and has a base flood elevation (BFE) of 16 ft referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD). However, after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published the effective Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map, which are based on 2005 topographic data, USACE constructed a hurricane and storm damage reduction project along the fronting beach. As demonstrated using FEMA approved Wave Height Analysis for Flood Insurance Studies model included within the Coastal Hazard Analysis Modeling Program, this project reduces the flood risk at the development site, which theoretically removes it from the Coastal High Hazard Area (VE) flood zone and reduces the BFE to 15 ft NAVD. Consequently, a LOMR application (MT-2) was prepared and submitted to FEMA requesting that the flood zone designation at the project site be changed from a VE16 to an AE15. Responded to additional data requests as necessary to support FEMA review and ultimate approval of the LOMR request.
