City Staff Participate in SCE PSPS & Wildfire Safety Community Meeting On October 21, City staff member Juliza Briones attended Southern California Edison’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) and Wildfire Safety Community Meeting, held at Girls Inc. at 6:30 p.m. Vice Mayor Monica Solórzano provided opening remarks, emphasizing the importance of community preparedness efforts in Carpinteria. City staff supported the event by providing and distributing CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) informational pamphlets, and safety flyers to attendees. The meeting served as an important opportunity to engage with the community and share critical resources ahead of wildfire season.

City Council Affordable Housing Committee
At the prior October 13th City Council meeting, Councilmembers requested an update from staff on the possible formation of an affordable housing committee. While the Council has not, to date, taken a formal action to establish such a committee, discussion about doing so has been a recurring theme in past Council deliberations concerning housingrelated matters.

As part of the City’s adopted 2025-27 Strategic Plan, CDD included a work plan item under City Council Goal 3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents) to research possible strategies to support and facilitate construction of affordable housing. The work plan effort is targeted to culminate in a presentation of possible affordable housing funding and/or production strategies to the City Council, targeted for Q4 of FY 26/27. Staff envisions that as this research is completed, it would be timely to revisit the formation of an affordable housing committee that could assist staff in reviewing and evaluating possible affordable housing strategies and prioritizing them for consideration by the Council.

While this work is only getting underway, staff recognizes the importance of this effort and understands that the Council may wish to be more directly involved from the beginning in helping to research and educate City staff and decision makers about possible affordable housing strategies. Accordingly, if the Council is interested in considering the formation of an affordable housing committee at this time to assist in the early stages of research and evaluation, the Council may direct staff to agendize this matter for an upcoming meeting.

Coming Up: Downtown T Business Advisory Board- Downtown Trick or Treat Event On Friday, October 31, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., the Downtown T Business Advisory Board (DTBAB) will host its annual Downtown Trick-or-Treat event for children and families.

City staff and DTBAB members distributed flyers and promotional materials in person on October 20, and event information will continue to be shared via social media and the City newsletter in the days leading up to October 31st.

Staff Celebrates City Volunteers
On Wednesday, October 15, City staff hosted a Volunteer Reception honoring the dedicated individuals who serve the Carpinteria Community Library, AgeWell, and HOST programs. More than 60 volunteers attended the event, which was themed “You Are My Sunshine” and featured light refreshments, games, and live music performed by our very own staff member, Ryan Benson.

This heartwarming celebration was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Juliza Briones, Jena Jenkins, Torrie Cutbirth, Eric Castro, Terra Furuta, and Jeanette Gant. Their teamwork helped create a memorable event that showed our deep appreciation for the volunteers’ invaluable service to the community.

We look forward to continuing this annual tradition each fall as a way to recognize and celebrate our volunteers' ongoing commitment to Carpinteria.

HOST Season Ends Strong
The 2025 HOST season wrapped up successfully after another busy and rewarding summer. Running from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, HOST volunteers were stationed every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the season.

This year, we had 51 dedicated volunteers who welcomed a total of 3,648 visitors from 27 different states—the farthest being New Hampshire. We also had international visitors from 10 countries, including Ireland, New Zealand, France, China, and others.

For background: HOST began as a City pilot program in 2005 and was officially adopted in 2006. Since its inception, HOST volunteers have welcomed more than 50,000 visitors during peak tourist season, connecting them with local trails, beaches, restaurants, and other city amenities.

We thank all of our volunteers for their commitment to making our city welcoming and accessible to visitors from around the world.

AgeWell Program Updates
On Saturday, November 1, at 10:00 a.m., AgeWell will host a docent-led tour of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park. This guided excursion will begin at the park entrance at Sandyland Avenue and Ash Avenue and will give participants the opportunity to explore the unique ecology and wildlife of the local salt marsh habitat.

On Thursday, November 6, at 6:00 p.m., AgeWell will present Portraits of Life After Service at the Alcazar Theatre. This free community event, offered in partnership with the SBCC School of Extended Learning, will honor veterans and first responders through original photographs, storytelling, and panel discussions. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and reservations are encouraged at www.thealcazar.org
Community Garden
The Community Garden hosted Santa Barbara City College’s School of Extended Learning Watercolor Painting Class on Tuesday, September 16, from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.

Students participated in outdoor painting sessions, capturing views of the Garden.

Three second grade classes from Canalino Elementary School visited the Garden on October 6, October 16 and October 20. The Garden Coordinator provided a tour and led an educational lesson on seed dispersal.

The UC Master Gardeners of Santa Barbara County offered a free, four-part Victory Vegetable Gardening workshop series at the Community Garden, concluding with the final class on Friday, October 18. The series attracted 40 registered participants and maintained an active waitlist.

The Community Garden hosted a Volunteer Day on Sunday, October 26, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. The event provided an opportunity for garden members to work on collaborative volunteer projects and contribute to maintaining the shared space.

In partnership with the City’s Sustainability Department, the Community Garden will host the 3rd Annual Pumpkin Smash on Friday, November 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

This community event promotes the repurposing of used pumpkins to be composted and donated to local farms for animal feed, rather than being sent to the landfill.

The Garden Coordinator reinstated the Community Garden e-Newsletter, which shares updates, announcements, and upcoming events with garden members. The September and October issues have already been distributed.

Additionally, the Community Garden’s composting systems were recently reworked to improve efficiency and accessibility. Community members can now compost fruit, vegetable, and garden scraps through both vermicomposting and hot composting dropoff locations. In September, these systems diverted 161 pounds of food and garden waste from the landfill.

City Manager Speaks at Santa Barbara County Leadership Academy Panel On October 16, City Manager Michael Ramirez had the honor of speaking at the Santa Barbara County Management Leadership Academy, addressing a cohort of 35 aspiring managers and leaders from across the region. He was joined by Assistant County Executive Officer Tanja Heitman and City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Director Jill Zachary. Together, the panel shared insights on leadership, public service, and the importance of collaboration across local government agencies. The event served as an inspiring opportunity to help shape the next generation of public sector leaders in Santa Barbara County.

City Manager Speaks at Rotary
On October 22, City Manager Michael Ramirez spoke to the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning about City finances, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. The presentation generated a thoughtful discussion and reinforced key points shared during the recent State of the City address. For those interested in learning more about the City’s financial outlook, a recording of the presentation is available on YouTube here.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Quarterly Review of Pension Stabilization Trust.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

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

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Pension Stabilization Trust is to accumulate, hold, and distribute pension plan assets for the exclusive benefit of retiree pensions within the meaning of IRS Code Section 115. Plan assets are irrevocable and may not be used for any purpose other than the purpose of the Trust. Withdrawal of plan assets is not permitted except to transfer to another trust or to reimburse the City for pension costs paid. in establishing the Pension Trust is to control long-term costs and volatility in the annual operating budget. The trust provides more flexibility for the City to level out contributions and mitigate year-to-year contribution volatility.

Plan contributions transfer assets to the Trust, and accordingly, plan assets are not carried on the City's books and are not subject to the City's investment policy. Discretionary Trustee Benefit Trust Company (BTC), with the advice of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Consulting Group, actively manages plan assets consistent with the Investment Policy Statement. The City's individual trust account is part of a larger Multiple Employer Trust administered by Keenan Financial Services and BTC, referred to as the California Public Entity Pension Stabilization Trust. BTC also provides the City with monthly, quarterly (Attachment A), and annual statements of activity of the City's account.

The Pension Stabilization Trust utilizes a Board of Authority that provides management and oversight of the Trust with participation by one individual per public agency. The fees are asset-based, paid monthly, deducted directly from the Trust account, and totaled 30 bps1 annually. This is competitive with other comparable plans. 1 Basis points pertain to interest rates. One basis point is equal to one one-hundredth of one percentage point (0.01%). Therefore, 100 basis points would be equivalent to 1%.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Authorize the purchase of 35 standardized trash receptacles from Forms+Surfaces in an amount not-to-exceed $84,865.24.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the purchase of 35 trash receptacles in an amount not-to-exceed $84,865.24.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the purchase of 35 trash receptacles in an amount notto-exceed $84,865.24. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
In early 2022, the City initiated an effort to standardize trash receptacles to replace aging Harrison. On April 28, 2022, Architectural Review Board (ARB) unanimously supported a standardized trash receptacle to be used in City-owned parks, properties, and streets. The chosen standard is a 36-gallon corrosion-resistant stainless-steel receptacle from local vendor Forms+Surfaces. The receptacles are powderfeature integrated dome lids to protect contents from weather and animals, and include side- requirements. They are durable,
repairable, and designed for long-term use with readily available replacement parts.

Beginning in 2022, the City has been gradually implementing a standardized trash receptacle model with the long-term goal of replacing all public receptacles to ensure consistency and improve aesthetics and functionality citywide. However, due to the high per-unit cost and limited available funding, the Public Works Department has faced constraints in completing the full replacement.

To address the funding shortfall for the trash receptacles and other Solid Waste Program work, the City proposed a 5% increase to existing AB939 solid waste franchise fees1. Following the absence of any written or oral protests, the City Council approved the 1 These fees are authorized under the California Integrated Waste Management Act (Assembly Bill 939) and are commonly referred to as AB939 fees.

proposed increase on March 24, 2025, securing funding to support solid waste program operations, including completion of the trash receptacle replacement program.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the purchase of 35 standardized receptacles in an amount not-to-exceed $84,865.24.

DISCUSSION
As part of the adopted FY 2025 26 budget, the Public Works Department allocated $30,000 for the Park Trash Can Replacement Program and $50,000 for the Right-of-Way Trash Can Replacement Program. Additionally, the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project, scheduled to begin construction in early 2026, includes an allocation of $4,865.24 for receptacle installation.

Public Works staff utilized OMNIA Partners, a cooperative purchasing organization for public sector procurement, to obtain a quote from Forms+Surfaces for the purchase of 35 standardized receptacles. As shown in Attachment A, the total cost is $84,865.24.

Additionally, an image of the receptacle model is included in Attachment B and the Product Data Sheet is included in Attachment C.

Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the purchase of 35 standardized trash receptacles from Forms+Surfaces in an amount not to exceed $84,865.24.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The City Council adopted the Procurement Policy2 under the authority of Chapter 3.30 of Title 3 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. The policy states that the purchase of goods, equipment, and services with an estimated value over $50,000, shall follow formal bid procedures.

As stated in Section H.5 (Cooperative Purchasing), of the Procurement Policy, the Purchasing Officer may participate in a collective bidding process established by other governmental agencies. Forms+Surfaces is an awarded vendor on two national Cooperative Purchasing contracts through OMNIA Partners. OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing organization for public sector procurement that streamlines the required purchasing process. All cooperative purchasing contracts from OMNIA Partners have been competitively solicited and publicly awarded by a government entity acting as the lead agency.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. There is sufficient budget in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget for this purchase.

Purchase of Trash Receptacles
October 27, 2025

CEQA REVIEW
This activity is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it involves minor alterations to existing public areas with no expansion of use.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
By purchasing the trash receptacles through OMNIA Partners, the City will be satisfying the competitive bid requirements. All OMNIA Partners contracts have been competitively solicited by a lead public agency via a thorough Request for Proposal (RFP). The lead agency prepares a competitive solicitation while incorporating language that makes the agreement nationally accessible to agencies in states that allow intergovernmental contract usage. The lead agency issues the solicitation and notifications. The lead agency then evaluates the received responses, negotiates, and awards the master agreement. All documentation is posted on the OMNIA Partners website and made available to the public.

The standardized trash receptacles minimize risk by ensuring uniformity in design, durability, and maintenance, reducing long-term replacement and labor costs and improving collection efficiency and safety.

OPTIONS
The City Council could choose to:

1. Authorize the purchase of 35 trash receptacles in an amount not-to-exceed $84,865.24. (staff recommendation).

2. Not authorize the purchase trash receptacles and direct staff as determined appropriate.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Appointments and Operations
Board.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Appoint one City Councilmember to serve as the primary representative on the Central and appoint City Manager Michael Ramirez to
Operations Board, both for the two-year term, December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2027.

Sample Motion: I move to appoint Councilmember ______ to serve as the primary representative on and appoint City
Manager Michael Ramirez to serve as the alternate representative on the Central Coast -year term, December 1, 2025
through November 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
In 2002, AB 117 was passed, allowing cities, counties, and other authorized entities to aggregate electric customers within their respective jurisdictions and become an energy purveyor. This is known as Community Choice Aggregation or Community Choice Energy. Community Choice Energy entities purchase and/or generate electrical energy and provide it to customers within their jurisdictions while the existing investor-owned utility continues to provide billing, physical transmission, and distribution services. A Community Choice Energy typically provides a higher percentage of renewable or carbon-free electricity at competitive rates while offering consumers more local choices and promoting economic development.

The City began exploring the feasibility of a Community Choice Energy program in 2015 with other local agencies. On August 26, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5914, requesting membership with Monterey Bay Community Power Authority Community Choice Aggregation Program, an existing Joint Powers Authority (now known as Central Coast Community Energy or 3CE and referred to as such in the rest Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 13
Council Meeting Date: October 27, 2025

of this report). At its following meeting, on September 9, 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 730, authorizing the implementation of a Community Choice Energy 3CE. On October 28,
2019, the City Council entered into a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Goleta regarding participation in 3CE and appointed Wade Nomura to Policy Board.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider appointing one City Councilmember to serve as the primary representative on Policy Board and appoint City Manager Michael Ramirez to serve as the alternate representative on Operations Board, both for the two-year term, December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2027.

DISCUSSION
3CE is governed by a Policy Board and an Operations Board. The Policy Board is comprised of elected officials and provides guidance/approval in areas of strategic planning, passage of budget and customer rates, and large capital expenditures outside of the typical power procurement required to provide electrical service. The Operations Board is made up of city managers and county administrative officers, or their designees, and provides oversight and support to the Chief Executive Officer of 3CE on matters pertaining to the provision of electrical service to customers in the region, focusing on the routine, day-to-day operations of 3CE.

Under the Joint Powers Authority, jurisdictions with populations fewer than a population of 50,000 are required to partner and share one seat on each of the two Boards between them. The sharing agencies include the Cities of Goleta and Carpinteria.

Representatives in shared Board seats shall serve two-year terms of office, but may be reappointed by their appointing party. Appointment responsibility shall rotate every two years between the parties.

Policy Board
The Policy Board representative shall serve for a term of two years and Board seat appointment responsibility shall alternate between the Cities of Carpinteria and Goleta.

For the current term (December 1, 2023 November 30, 2025), the City of Goleta serves as the primary representative on the Policy Board while Carpinteria (Councilmember Wade Nomura) holds the alternate representative position on the Policy Board.

For the next subsequent term (December 1, 2025 November 30, 2027), the City of Carpinteria will serve as the primary representative (Council will select representative) on the Policy Board while Goleta will serve as the alternate representative on the Policy Board.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
October 27, 2025

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Authorize a member of the City Council and the City Manager to present in-person public comment on behalf of the Council at the November 6, 2025 meeting of the California Coastal Commission (CCC), regarding the rezoning of three sites in the unincorporated Carpinteria Valley to multifamily residential use; and provide direction to City staff on a proposed comment letter to the CCC regarding the County rezone sites.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize a member of the City Council and the City Manager to present public comment on behalf of the Council at the November 6, 2025 meeting of the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in Sacramento, CA, regarding the proposed rezoning of three sites in the County to multifamily residential use;

2. Provide direction to City staff on a proposed comment letter to the CCC, regarding the proposed rezoning of three parcels in the County to multifamily residential use.

Sample Motion: I move to:

1. Authorize ________________ and the City Manager to represent the City Council at the November 6, 2025 California Coastal Commission meeting to deliver the Carpinteria Valley;

2. Provide City staff with specified feedback on comment letter items to be provided to the CCC regarding the proposed rezoning of parcels in the Carpinteria Valley.

BACKGROUND
Like the City, the County of Santa Barbara is required to prepare and implement a Housing Element pursuant to State Law that describes how the County plans to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation during the Agenda Section: Other Business
Agenda Item No.: 15
Council Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Attendance Selection and Comments for 11/6/25 Coastal Commission Hearing October 27, 2025

current planning cycle (2023-2031). At an upcoming hearing on November 6th, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) is set to consider the rezoning of three properties1

1. 1101 & 1103 Bailard Ave ( Bailard )

2. 4098 Via Real ( Van Wingerden 1 )

3. 4711 Foothill Rd ( Van Wingerden 2 )
These sites are proposed to be rezoned to allow for multifamily residential uses to RHNA allocation.

The Bailard site is proposed to be rezoned from Single Family Residential (3-E-1) to Residential 20 (20 dwelling units max. per acre). Van Wingerden 1 and 2 are proposed to be rezoned from Agriculture (AG I-5 and AG I-10, respectively) to Residential 20/30 (20 dwellings unit min. per acre to 30 dwelling units max. per acre). The urbanrural boundary would also be moved to accommodate these sites, so that they would be located within the urban area. If all three sites are approved, the rezones could clear the way for the eventual permitting of hundreds of new residences immediately along the (see Attachment B for a map showing the location of the proposed rezone sites).

At the upcoming November 6, 2025 meeting, CCC staff will be recommending approval of the three rezones with a few modifications, the most significant of which would increase the required affordability component for any future residential project on the three sites from 20% minimum of the base density to 32% minimum, with the caveat that the additional 12% affordability obligation could be met by moderate-income restricted units rather than the low-income restricted units required for the base 20% affordability requirement.

The meeting will take place in Sacramento, CA. In the past, City staff and councilmembers have traveled to the meeting location to give public comment on behalf of the City for items of particular importance to the City
potential to significantly impact the City, members of the City Council and the public have expressed a desire to have in-person City representatives attend and speak at the hearing.

DISCUSSION
Authorization of Councilmember to Represent Council
The City Council must select and authorize a member of the Council to represent the City Council and speak on their behalf at the CCC hearing. City staff would prepare talking points for City representatives, with direction from the City Council, to reflec official position(s) on the proposed rezones.
1 Attendance Selection and Comments for 11/6/25 Coastal Commission Hearing October 27, 2025

Proposed Comments to the CCC
The CCC’s staff report for the upcoming hearing on the rezones presents analysis that concludes the rezoning of the three subject Carpinteria Valley sites would be consistent with the Coastal Act and the County’s certified Land Use Plan (LUP), with the proposed modifications. City staff does not agree with this conclusion and points to a number of previous letters issued on behalf of the City that highlight what we believe are inconsistencies with the proposed rezones.

Over the last two years, both the City Council and City staff have sent comment letters to the County at each step of the planning process, expressing concern with the proposed Carpinteria Valley rezone sites. Past City comment letters2 have highlighted issues such as:
• Locating the highest density residential developments in the entire Carpinteria Valley along the City’s borders, which would disrupt the established gradual transition from urban uses in the City to rural agriculture and open space in the County;
• The elimination of active and productive coastal agricultural sites, which directly conflicts with the County's Comprehensive Plan Agricultural Element Policies, the County's Coastal Land Use Plan, the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, and the California Coastal Act, all of which call for the preservation of coastal agricultural lands;
• For Bailard, in particular, a belief that while this site could be suitable for multifamily housing, the overall density and character of development should be more in keeping with surrounding multifamily development;
• Lack of nearby amenities, such as employment, shopping, transit, and schools, which would require new residents to drive into the City’s core to access these amenities; and
• Increased and unmitigated impacts to City infrastructure and facilities, including roadways, intersections and recreational facilities, placing higher demands and wear and tear on City facilities to serve non-City residents.

In addition to these general comments, which remain relevant to the CCC hearing for the rezone sites, City staff reviewed the CCC staff report for the item and propose additional comments:

The Coastal Act allows agricultural land to be converted to other uses under very limited circumstances. The report concludes that the two Van Wingerden sites meet the criteria to be rezoned to residential use because they would logically complete a neighborhood and help establish a stable limit to urban development, despite the fact that the urbanrural boundary has been stable for several decades and would now need to be moved to accommodate the rezones. CCC staff assert that by rezoning Van Wingerden 1 and 2, the urban-rural boundary would become more stable and “would ensure a [more] 2 These letters can be viewed as part of the January 22, 2024 staff report:

permanent limit to urban development than the existing urban-rural boundary currently established 3 City staff is concerned that if the CCC is able to justify moving the urbanrural boundary and rezoning these agricultural sites due to their proximity to existing residential development, residential zoning will continue to creep northward and westward farther into the Carpinteria Valley in the future under the same insubstantial justifications.

This would be in direct conflict with City General Plan objectives and policies that support preservation of agriculture and open space in the unincorporated valley around the City.4
Additionally, the staff report provides no analysis of the agricultural viability of the sites (soil quality or economic), although Van Wingerden 1 is in active open field agricultural production and Van Wingerden 2 is improved with fully developed greenhouse facilities.

Based on the acreage of the respective rezone sites and the proposed densities, the CCC staff report appears to understate the development potential of the sites not to mention that the required affordability levels would automatically also make residential projects on these rezone sites eligible for State density bonuses. According to the CCC staff report, Van Wingerden 1 would yield 236 units, Van Wingerden 2 180 units and Bailard 182 units, for a combined total of 634 units. With the exception of Bailard, which reflects the the gross acreage of the sites and the proposed densities, City staff believes the anticipated yield could be much higher: Van Wingerden 1: 302 to 453 units; Van Wingerden 2: 193 to 290 units; and Bailard: 140 units, for a combined total of 635 to 883 units (again, not accounting for any bonus density units).

Overall, staff believes the proposed rezones do not meet the criteria required for agricultural conversion in the coastal zone, seem to contradict the purpose of the Coastal n excessively large
number of unplanned housing units that would place undue demands on City resources and infrastructure.

City staff are preparing a more detailed, formal comment letter to the CCC regarding this hearing item
the CCC staff report. Staff welcome additional Council input.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
From time to time,
certain actions by other public agencies and/or to work cooperatively with other agencies 3

4 Objective LU-4: Influence land use decision-making, use and development patterns in the unincorporated Carpinteria Valley to be supportive of the California Coastal Act and City objectives to preserve unique coastal resources by establishing open-field agricultural use as the predominant use in the unincorporated Valley. Policy LU-4a. Establish a greenbelt of open space including undeveloped land and open-field agricultural land surrounding the City.

Attendance Selection and Comments for 11/6/25 Coastal Commission Hearing October 27, 2025

in order to most effectively address a matter(s) of interest to the Carpinteria community.

In this case, the subject rezone sites could result in the conversion of agricultural lands outside of the City and changes to the urban-rural boundary that would potentially contradict the following General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan (GP/CLUP) Land Use Element and Open Space/Conservation Element policies:

LU-1d. Ensure that the type, location and intensity of land uses planned adjacent to any parcel designated open space/recreation or agriculture are compatible with these public resources and will not be detrimental to the resource.

LU-4. Influence land use decision-making, use and development patterns in the unincorporated Carpinteria Valley to be supportive of the California Coastal Act and City objectives to preserve unique coastal resources by establishing openfield agricultural use as the predominant use in the unincorporated Valley.

LU-4a. Establish a greenbelt of open space including undeveloped land and openfield agricultural land surrounding the City.

OSC-9e. Avoid the conversion of agricultural land to nonagricultural land uses except where conversion meets the criteria established by Sections 30241, 30241.5, and 30242 of the Coastal Act.

OSC-9f. Encourage Santa Barbara County to maintain agricultural field uses of agricultural land within the Carpinteria Planning Area, and to require urban uses to locate within the city.
