No dogs allowed at all on public the beach between Linden Ave and Ash Ave, and no dogs in the Salt Marsh Nature Park.
• Do not resist deputies/officers in the performance of their duties (ie., making an arrest, while on a traffic stop, etc.).

The time to fight the arrest/citation is in the Court, not in the field.

If you are the restrained party, it is illegal for you to contact the protected party. If the protected party contacts you, and you respond, come see the restrained party, etc., the restricted party will be found at fault and arrested. • Visual demonstration and update regarding mail theft from the drop off mailbox.

ITEM FOR LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATION
Carpinteria Community Library Monthly Report July 2026

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

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

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Community Library was established by Ordinance No. 747 on June 14, 2021, and codified in Chapter 2.38 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. That ordinance also established a Library Board of Trustees, which is required to meet at least once per month.

The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the Library Board of Trustees an update on operations, and staff changes, if any.

DISCUSSION
Program and Collection Updates:

The following programs and collaborative activities were offered during June 2026:

June 15 Summer Reading Program Launch
The Library launched its 2026 Summer Reading Program, License to Read, featuring themes of spies, mystery-solving, and adventure. Summer reading programs are a core service of public libraries and are recognized by the American Library Association as an effective strategy for promoting literacy, reducing summer learning loss, encouraging lifelong reading habits, and strengthening community engagement. The program offers reading incentives, educational activities, and family-friendly events throughout the summer.

LBOT Staff Report
July 13, 2026

June 22 Magic Workshop and Magic Show
The Library hosted a magic workshop for participants ages 9 and older, where attendees learned the techniques behind a variety of magic tricks and illusions. The workshop was led by master magician Shawn McMasters, who also presented an allages magic show featuring a blend of illusion, comedy, and audience participation.

The two programs attracted a combined attendance of 125 participants representing a wide range of ages.

June 29 Chumash Stories
The Library welcomed Alan Salazar, Chumash storyteller, educator, cultural advocate, and author of Tata, The Tataviam Towhee: A Tribal Story, A Tataviam Creation Story, and Coyote Rescues Hawk. Mr. Salazar shared traditional stories highlighting Indigenous history, culture, resilience, and the importance of preserving ancestral traditions and the natural environment. The presentation supported the Library's commitment to cultural education and community enrichment and was attended by 36 participants.

Ongoing Library Programs
The Library continued to offer a variety of recurring educational, recreational, and community programs, including: English Conversation Group, Preschool Storytime, Carp Writers Group, Songwriters Workshop, Babies Are the Best, Carp Knitters Group, Dementia Caregivers Support Group, Carpinteria Birdwatchers Group, Dungeons & Dragons Playtime, and Friday Fun sessions.

LBOT Staff Report

explored the children's collections, participated in literacy activities, learned about the 2026 Summer Reading Program, and registered for library cards. These school partnerships strengthen early literacy, encourage library use, and help reduce summer learning loss by connecting students and families with Library resources.

Partnerships and Grants:

Zip Books Program
The California State Library has announced that the recently adopted State Budget does not include funding for the Zip Books Program. As a result, the program has been discontinued indefinitely.

The Zip Books Program allowed participating libraries to provide patrons with timely access to books that were not available in the local collection by purchasing and shipping requested titles directly to patrons. After use, the materials were returned to the Library and added to the collection for future circulation.

Although state funding for the program has been eliminated, the funding allocated to California library systems directly may provide an opportunity for regional support.

The City Librarian will be meeting with Black Gold Cooperative Library System directors to discuss potential funding options, including whether a portion of those funds could be used to continue the Zip Books Program. The Library will also explore other funding opportunities, as appropriate.
2026-2027 California Library Literacy Services Grant
The Library received an Intent to Fund Notice from the California State Library indicating its intent to award the Carpinteria Community Library a 2026 2027 California Library Literacy Services (CLLS) Adult Literacy Services grant. The projected award amount is $25,000, subject to final state budget approval. Grant funding will support the continued expansion of the Library's Adult Literacy Program, providing one-on-one tutoring and literacy services for adult learners in the Carpinteria community.

The New York Times Online
Through a partnership with the California State Library, the Library now offers patrons complimentary digital access to The New York Times. Carpinteria Community Library cardholders can access the online edition through the Library's website, expanding the Library's collection of digital resources available to the community.

On July 2, 2026, Congressman Salud Carbajal and members of his staff visited City Hall to meet with City Manager Michael Ramirez, Vice Mayor Monica Solorzano, and Emergency Manager Juliza Briones.

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss a variety of federal, state, and local matters, including updates on FEMA reimbursement efforts, current and future grant opportunities, emerging policies that may impact the City, and local challenges specific to the Carpinteria community.

City Emergency Operations Plan Webpage Launch
The City of Carpinteria has launched a new webpage for the update of its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which guides how the City prepares for, responds to, and recovers from emergencies such as earthquakes, fires,
flooding, severe weather, and power outages. Last updated in 2014, the EOP is undergoing a comprehensive revision to reflect current best practices, local hazards, and the
community's evolving needs.

The project webpage at cityofcarp.co/eopupdate will serve as a central resource for updates, preparedness information, and public engagement opportunities. The City will also host community events this September to share information and gather public input as part of the planning process. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.
2026 Household Goods & Hazardous Waste Day
On Saturday, June 13, the Public Works Department hosted the City's annual Household Goods & Hazardous Waste Day, providing residents with a safe and convenient way to dispose of unwanted household items and hazardous materials. In partnership with EJ Harrison & Sons and Clean Harbors, the event served 335 unique households through 446 vehicle drop-offs and collected 22.66 tons of waste for proper disposal.

Participation was strong and geographically diverse, with residents from more than 100 streets across Carpinteria taking part. While 39% of participants used only the household goods collection service and 34% used only the household hazardous waste service, 26% utilized both, underscoring the community's continued need for convenient, comprehensive waste disposal options.

To view full event statistics, participation data, and neighborhood distribution, please see the 2026 Household Goods & Hazardous Waste Day Collection Impact Summary.

On Friday, June 26, the Sustainability & Environment Division partnered with Carpinteria Beautiful to host a Summer Creek Cleanup.

The cleanup helped improve local waterways, protect wildlife, and prevent debris from reaching the ocean. The City extends its sincere appreciation to Carpinteria Beautiful and all of the volunteers who dedicated their time to keeping Carpinteria's creeks clean and healthy.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
July 13, 2026

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
First Amendment to the Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes) to Provide Landscape Maintenance Services.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes) to provide landscape maintenance services in an amount not-to-exceed $111,250.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes) to provide landscape maintenance services in an amount not-to-exceed $111,250. (The motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
On April 12, 20211, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes), hereinafter called Showscapes, for a three-year term to provide landscape maintenance services. Pursuant to the Maintenance Agreement, landscape maintenance includes the grounds of City bike paths/trails, facilities, parks/open spaces, parking lots, and right-of-way (parkways and medians, not including street trees). The Maintenance Agreement sets term limits at an initial three years with two one-year term extensions if mutually agreed upon in writing for a possible contract total term of five years. On April 1, 2024, the Maintenance Agreement finished its third year of the three-year term. On April 22, 20242, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 with Showscapes for a oneyear term extension to provide landscape maintenance services in an amount not-toexceed $267,600 for a total amended agreement amount of $961,410. On May 27, 20253 ,
the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Maintenance Agreement with Showscapes for a one-year term extension in an amount 1 https://carpinteria.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=783 2 https://carpinteria.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1429 3 https://carpinteria.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1638 Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 10
Council Meeting Date: July 13, 2026

Amendment No. 2 to Maintenance Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes) July 13, 2026

not-to-exceed $267,600 for a total amended agreement amount of $1,229,010. This extension fulfilled the term of the Maintenance Agreement, including the initial term and (2) 1-year extensions.

On May 19, 2026, the City Manager executed an agreement with Showscapes in an amount not to exceed $44,500 to provide citywide landscape maintenance services through June 30, 2026. The agreement was intended to ensure continuity of services while staff prepared and advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a long-term contract.

Staff subsequently issued an RFP for citywide landscape maintenance services and received proposals from several qualified firms. Due to unforeseen staffing changes, including the departure of key personnel responsible for administering the procurement, the evaluation and selection process has been delayed. Staff now anticipates completing the competitive selection process and returning to City Council with a recommendation for award of a long-term maintenance agreement in late August 2026.

The purpose of this agenda item is to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the temporary agreement with Showscapes increasing the contract by $66,750 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $111,250 to provide landscape maintenance services while the competitive procurement process is completed.

DISCUSSION
Staff recommends executing a three-month amendment to the existing agreement with Showscapes to maintain uninterrupted landscape maintenance services while the competitive procurement process is completed. The additional term will provide sufficient time to complete proposal evaluations, conduct interviews and reference checks, negotiate a final agreement with the selected proposer, and return to City Council for award of a long-term contract.

Because the competitive procurement process is ongoing, staff is not yet in a position to recommend or enter into an agreement with a new contractor. Executing a short-term amendment with the incumbent contractor provides continuity of service during the evaluation process and avoids any interruption to routine landscape maintenance operations throughout the City.

Showscapes has agreed to continue providing services at the current monthly contract rate of $22,250. The proposed amendment extends services three additional months, increasing the contract by $66,750 for a new total amount not to exceed $111,250. If the competitive procurement process is completed sooner, staff intends to return to City Council with a recommendation for award of the long-term agreement and terminate the temporary amendment as appropriate.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with the following goals, objectives, and/or policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Land Use Plan:

Amendment No. 2 to Maintenance Agreement with Showscapes, Inc. (dba Treescapes) July 13, 2026

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Request for waiver of rental and associated fees by Lions Club of Carpinteria for use of the Veterans Memorial Building, Veterans Hall.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff does not have a specific recommendation and is seeking direction from the City Council.

Sample Motion: I move to (approve / approve with modifications / deny) the request for waiver of rental and associated fees for use of the Veterans Memorial Building, Veterans Hall.

BACKGROUND
On June 8, 2026 members of the Lions Club of Carpinteria (Lions Club) requested City Council to waive the associated facility rental fees for use of the Veterans Hall within the Veterans Memorial Building for three blood drives per year.

The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department routinely rents the Veterans Hall for an hourly non-profit rate of $62 and for-profit rate of $103, which includes an hourly staffing fee of $26 per hour for a City staff member to be onsite during the entire rental. All rentals are required to pay a refundable per-event deposit of $300. City staff set up and break down all tables and chairs, and clean the venue afterwards.
, approval with modifications, or denial of the request.

DISCUSSION
The Lions Club originally requested use of the Veterans Hall to host three blood drives annually. During discussions with staff, staff identified potential operational impacts associated with hosting multiple Saturday events at the facility, including conflicts with existing rentals and the busy spring and summer rental season. Staff also noted that blood drives had historically been conducted by Vitalant in coordination with the City Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 11
Council Meeting Date: July 13, 2026

Veterans Hall Fee Waiver Request
July 13, 2026

using a blood mobile in City parking lots. As a compromise, the Lions Club revised its request to conduct two annual blood drives at the Veterans Hall and one annual blood drive using a blood mobile in a City parking lot.

The Lions Club has requested a waiver of the Veterans Hall rental and required staffing fees for the two annual blood drives conducted in partnership with Vitalant. According to the Lions Club, these blood drives have been held in the Carpinteria community for approximately 40 years and currently generate approximately 100 pints of blood, potentially saving up to 300 lives.

The organization anticipates using the Veterans Hall approximately two times per year on an ongoing basis. The preferred rental time is Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on a weekend within November and March each year. The Lions Club has indicated it will provide the required certificates of insurance, does not require use of the kitchen, and will utilize City tables and chairs for donor registration, waiting areas, and blood donation stations. As with all Veterans Hall rentals, City staff would be responsible for facility setup, breakdown, and post-event cleaning.

Under the adopted Master Fee Schedule, nonprofit organizations are charged $36 per hour for use of the Veterans Hall plus a required staffing fee of $26 per hour, for a total of $62 per hour. Based on a seven-hour rental, the estimated fees eligible for waiver total approximately $434 per event, excluding the refundable $300 security deposit.

If approved, the City would also incur staffing costs associated with providing required onsite personnel during each event.

If the events are scheduled on Saturdays, there is potential for displacement of existing rentals and programming. Saturdays are generally the highest-demand day for private rentals, including weddings, celebrations, and other community events that typically utilize the full facility. An 8:00 a.m. rental would also displace the regularly scheduled Jazzercise program.

Based on 2026 rental data, the average Saturday Veterans Hall rental generated approximately $1,582 in facility revenue. Jazzercise generates approximately $62 from their Saturday facility rental, for a combined average of approximately $1,644 per Saturday. Based on two Saturday events annually, the potential foregone rental revenue is approximately $3,288 before accounting for associated staffing costs.

Historical rental data indicates Saturday demand varies throughout the year. In March and November, the requested months for the proposed blood drives, the facility has not been fully booked every weekend. While Saturday events could reduce future rental opportunities, the actual fiscal impact would depend on whether another rental request is received for the same date.

If blood drives are instead scheduled on weekdays, use of the Veterans Hall would require temporary relocation, modification, or cancellation of existing City programs.

Veterans Hall Fee Waiver Request
July 13, 2026

Regular weekday uses include Jazzercise, the Senior Nutrition Program, Foodbank distribution, Homeless Outreach services, and AgeWell programming.

As with all Veterans Hall reservations, the facility remains designated as the City's Emergency Operations Shelter. The City reserves the right to cancel facility reservations if needed to support emergency response or other operational requirements.

Should the Council approve the request, it may also provide direction regarding the duration of the fee waiver (such as one year, a specified term, or ongoing) and whether the waiver applies to rental fees, staffing fees, or both.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Pursuant to Section 2.04.640 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code, the City Council serves as the City's final decision-making and policy-making authority. The City's Master Fee Schedule establishes rental and staffing fees for Veterans Hall use but does not specifically address fee waivers. Therefore, this request has been presented to the City Council for consideration.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of the request would result in an estimated direct fee waiver of approximately $434 per event, or approximately $868 annually for two events, excluding the refundable $300 security deposit.

The City would also incur staffing costs of approximately $182 per seven-hour event for required onsite personnel, totaling approximately $364 annually for two events.

If the events are scheduled on Saturdays, there is also potential opportunity cost associated with displaced rentals and programming. Based on current utilization, the estimated maximum foregone Saturday rental revenue is approximately $3,288 annually for two events.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Review of 2025 Carpinteria home sales prices and setting of the 2026 in-lieu affordable housing fees pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.75, Inclusionary Housing Requirement, and, if desired, adopt Resolution No. 6485, as read by title only, adjusting the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fee for single-family dwellings.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
the 2025 calendar year
and the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fees for condominiums and single-family dwellings, and adopt Resolution No. 6485 to adjust the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fee for single-family dwellings.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the
the 2025 calendar year and the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fees for condominiums and single-family dwellings, and adopt Resolution No. 6485, as read by title only, adjusting the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fee 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 specified in the Program that considers 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 Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 13
Council Meeting Date: July 13, 2026

2026 Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees Update
July 13, 2026

51960364.1
current mortgage interest rate. The current in-lieu fees were originally 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 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 practice to adopt annual adjustments. However, in 2024 and 2025, the calculated fees decreased from the prior year, so the City Council opted to instead 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 on-site 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 2025, Community Development Department staff accessed the County of Santa Barbara The data showed the sales of 51 single-family dwellings and 49 condominiums recorded in 2025 within the City of Carpinteria, not including gift or inheritance transfers. The median sale price was $1,645,000 for single-family dwellings and $850,000 for condominiums (see Attachment B and Attachment C for details).

For reference, in 2024, there were 31 single family dwellings sold with a median sales price of $1,519,500 and 49 condominiums sold at a median sales price of $825,000.

Interest Rate: The mortgage interest rate used as an average is 6.47%, 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 area median income (AMI) remained the same in 2026 at $119,100 for a household of four.

Inclusionary Housing 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 updated figures described above, the 2026 in-lieu fees for single-family dwellings and condominiums are calculated as shown below:

2026 Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees Update
July 13, 2026

51960364.1
2026 Single Family Dwelling (SFD) In-lieu Fee
$1,645,000 (median 2025 SFD sales price) minus $602,900 (max. sales price for an income of 121% of the AMI) equals $1,042,100 In-lieu Fee, which is $68,600 above the adopted 2023 In-lieu Fee of $973,500.
2026 Condominium In-lieu Fee
$850,000 (median 2025 condominium sales price) minus $533,600 (max. sales price for an income of 121% of AMI) equals $316,400 In-lieu Fee, which is $200 below the adopted 2023 In-lieu Fee of $316,600.

The 2026 Single-Family Dwelling In-lieu Fee is higher than the adopted 2023 In-lieu fee, and the 2026 Condominium In-lieu Fee is slightly less than the currently adopted 2023 In-lieu Fee, as shown above. As such, to ensure that in-lieu fees remain adequate to facilitate affordable housing projects and programs, staff recommends the Council adopt the 2026 Single-Family Dwelling In-lieu fee and retain the currently adopted 2023 Condominium In-lieu Fee specified in Resolution No. 6260.

City Council Resolution No. 6485 (Attachment A, Exhibit 1) and Attachment B show these calculations in more detail.

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.

2026 Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Fees Update
July 13, 2026

51960364.1

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, Section 15378(b)(4) 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 and constitutes a governmental fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

OPTIONS

1. the 2025 calendar year
and the calculated 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fee amounts for condominiums and single-family dwellings. By selecting this option, the Council would be electing to not make any changes to the currently adopted in-lieu fees amounts established in 2023.

2. Direct staff to prepare a Resolution to adjust the affordable housing in-lieu fees for condominiums and single-family dwellings to the 2026 calculated amounts and return to a future City Council meeting.

Reasons for Changes

1. Area Median Income (AMI) remained the
same for 2026 ($119,100),

2. Interest rates decreased from 6.85% to

6.47%,

3. Affordable unit pricing increased by ~$20,000
due to lower interest rates to meet the 30%
income to housing expense ratio, but

4. Median sales prices continue to increase,
especially for single-family dwellings (up
$25K for condos & up $125.5K for SFDs).

Recommendation
Receive and file the report on the City’s home
sales prices for the 2025 calendar year and
the 2026 affordable housing in-lieu fees for
condominiums and single-family dwellings,
and adopt Resolution No. 6485 to adjust the
2026 affordable housing in-lieu fee for singlefamily dwellings.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Conceptual review of a contemplated adaptive reuse project (Project 26-2404-CON) to convert the existing office building located at 6185 Carpinteria Avenue (APN 001-180- 028) into a mixed-use development containing 20 live-work units and 11 housing units.

The conceptual project is proposed by Peter Lewis, potential purchaser of the property.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive public comment, and provide comments on the development proposal.

Sample Motion: None required.

PURPOSE OF CONCEPT REVIEW
City staff recommends that applicants request a conceptual review for proposed projects that are large in scope, involve unique policy or site constraints, and/or may otherwise be of particular interest to City decisionmakers and the public. The purpose of the conceptual review process is to allow an applicant to submit tentative plans, prior to the submittal of a formal project application, in order to receive early feedback from the advisory comments shall constitute a conceptual review only a conceptual review is not binding upon the City Council or advisory bodies as to any further determinations to be made with respect to the project. No action will be taken by any government body on the project at the conceptual review hearing. Input received at this meeting will be considered at future Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission or City Council meetings. The City decision makers shall be wholly free to render a different determination and/or decision upon formal review of the project. Since only limited information regarding the project is provided at this time, the analysis in this report is preliminary and tentative.

Following the conceptual review, as with any development project in the City, the applicant could submit a formal project application. The feedback received from this conceptual review will assist the applicant team in further developing and refining their project design should they choose to move forward with a formal application. Once the City has deemed the formal application complete, environmental review would be Agenda Section: Other Business

conducted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), followed by formal review by the Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission, and City Council, and California Coastal Commission, if appealed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a conceptual review of a proposal to pursue an adaptive reuse project that would convert the two existing office buildings at 6185 Carpinteria Ave into a mixed-use development consisting of 20 live-work units and 11 residential-only units. Each livework unit would feature an adjacent office space, accessible to visitors or clients independently from the private residential space. The unit breakdown is proposed as follows:

Studio One-bedroom Two-bedroom Total
Live-Work 14 3 3 20
Residential
only
- 9 2 11
All 20 of the live-work units are proposed in the front (north) building. The front building would also have two shared conference rooms, two visitor restrooms, and four onebedroom residential-only units. The rear (south) building would contain the remaining seven residential-only units. The total residential floor area would be approximately 23,407 square feet, and the office/work area would be approximately 3,912 square feet total. All units are proposed as market-rate rentals.

The exterior appearance of the buildings and site layout would remain substantially unchanged. The existing buildings have a maximum height of approximately 34 feet, and combined are approximately 33,346 square feet of interior space (not including decks and patios). The buildings are three stories: the ground floor/podium level provides parking beneath the buildings, and the second and third floors would be converted to the above-described residential and live-work spaces. Because the lot slopes downward from Carpinteria Avenue, the parking below the offices is partially subterranean as viewed from the front of the lot, and the overall development appears two-story as seen from the street. The two buildings are connected by a breezeway on the second story. Exterior work on the building would be limited to cosmetic upgrades (e.g., paint) the overall shape and form would not change. The project proposes to maintain the existing on-site parking to provide a total of 102 parking spaces for residents and visitors/clients. Landscaping and open space would be maintained as approved in the Development Plan for the existing office buildings (97-807-DP).

Project Setting
The project site is a 3.58-acre parcel located on the south side of Carpinteria Avenue, approximately one-third mile east of Bailard Avenue. It is bordered to the west by a vacant parcel and the S&S Seeds warehouse, to the east by another office building and parking lot, to the north by Carpinteria Avenue and U.S. 101, and to the south by the

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

railroad tracks. The site is located on the Carpinteria Bluffs, within the area presently occupied by professional offices and business parks. The northwestern portion of the parcel is occupied by the two office buildings (currently vacant) and on-site parking, and the remainder is occupied by the Lagunitas Creek riparian corridor and coastal bluff habitat. A public pedestrian easement and trail exist on the site, serving as a segment of the Coastal Vista Trail, and includes pedestrian connections to both the office buildings and Carpinteria Avenue. The trail includes a small pedestrian bridge over Lagunitas Creek.

The two existing office buildings were permitted in 1997 and issued certificates of occupancy in 2004. PlanMember Financial Corporation, an investment and retirement firm, most recently occupied the buildings and was the primary tenant since the construction.

The property is zoned Industrial/Research Park District (M-RP), with a Research Development Industrial (RDI) Land Use Designation. The site is subject to the Coastal Appeals (CA) overlay district due to its location between the ocean and first public road.

Area (ESH) overlay district.

The contemplated adaptive reuse project would require a Coastal Development Permit, to allow development within the Coastal Zone, and a Development Plan, as required by Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 14.26. Approval of the project would be discretionary and subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission, and the City Council and California Coastal Commission upon appeal.

DISCUSSION
The following discussion provides an overview analysis of relevant issue areas pertaining to the conceptual proposal and identifies applicable City regulations and policies from the Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) and General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan (GP/CLUP).

Issue Area 1 Residential Use in the M-RP Zone District
The subject property is zoned M-RP and is subject to the use and development standards in CMC Chapter 14.26 - M-RP Industrial/Research Park District.

The M1. Research, development, and testing laboratories and facilities;

2. Administrative offices required in conjunction with the uses permitted in this district and executive headquarters of business firms that are compatible with uses permitted in this district;

3. Professional offices of a scale appropriate to a business park setting;

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

4. Buildings, structures, and uses accessory and customarily incidental to any of the above uses; and

5. Mixed residential/industrial use pursuant to CMC Sections 14.26.120, 14.26.130 and 14.26.140.1 (emphasis added)
Historically, uses in the M-RP zone have primarily consisted of large corporate headquarters with on-site research, development, and office uses, professional office park uses, and a variety of light industrial or warehouse uses typical of a professional business park setting. However, beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the City began amending zoning standards to allow opportunities for residential development within the M-RP district in limited circumstances, first by amending CMC section 14.26 in 2003 to allow for mixed-use developments, and then in 2005 to allow opportunities for residential-only development within the district through application of a Residential (R) Overlay (CMC §14.49). More recently, as part of the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update rezone efforts, several properties on the inland side of U.S. 101 were rezoned from M-RP to Residential / Mixed Use (RMU) district (CMC §14.19) to create additional residential capacity within the City.

To date, the Lagunitas Mixed-Use development is the only project that has been approved under the mixed-use provisions of the M-RP district. The current Via Real Townhomes project seeks to now replace the approved office park portion of the Lagunitas Mixed-Use development with additional residential units. No project has applied to add the residential overlay to a M-RP zoned property.

In order to approve a Development Plan for a mixed-use development in the M-RP district, CMC Section 14.26.140 requires the City to make all of the Development Plan Permit findings pursuant to CMC §14.68, and the following additional findings:

1. The mixed use development encourages rehabilitation of important existing housing stock, or would result in the production of affordable housing and that the mixed use would assist the city in maintaining an appropriate balance between jobs and housing;

2. The mixed use development is compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area surrounding the site;

3. Industrial use of the site is the primary use and residential use is secondary. The industrial use shall be found to be the primary use if it is greater in area than the residential component and/or is situated and designed such that it appears and functions as the primary use of the parcel from its primary street frontage.

Likewise, Land Use Policy LUsupports allowances for mixed-use development in commercial or industrial areas if certain criteria are met:
1 Additional allowed uses in the M-RP zone include residential-only development if the R-Overlay has been applied to the site, and cannabis-related uses.

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

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.

Land Use Element Implementation Policy 2 provides further guidance on how appropriate residential density for such a mixed-use development should be determined:

When residential development is proposed on parcels designated for commercial or industrial use, the residential density shall not exceed the highest residential any bonus density allowances. The City shall determine the appropriate residential density for a commercial/industrial-designated parcel proposed for residential use on all or a portion of the parcel and shall consider, but not be limited to, the following factors:
a. Availability and cost of providing local services and infrastructure; e.g., sewer, water, and schools, and transportation and parking availability. b. Unique site characteristics such as size, shape, topography, and easements
c. The existence on site or adjacent to the site of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat area.
d. The need for protection or enhancement of other coastal resources; e.g., viewsheds, coastal access, recreation, visitor-serving commercial and other coastal dependent or coastal related uses.

When mixed-use development is proposed in a common building, determination of the allowable density shall include, in addition to the criteria above, consideration of the intensity of the commercial/industrial use including characteristics such as parking demand, vehicle trip generation, noise and vibration, that could affect compatibility of the residential use with the commercial/industrial component.

In all cases, commercial or industrial use shall be the primary use of a site designated for mixed-use development. A commercial or industrial use of a developed site shall be found by the City to be the primary use if it is greater in area than the residential component and/or is situated and designed such that it both appears and functions as the primary use of the parcel from its primary street frontage.

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

Due to the conceptual nature of this review, an in-depth analysis of the contemplated -noted findings and criteria has not been
completed at this time. However, staff offers the following initial considerations:

The project would not rehabilitate existing housing stock, nor, at this time, would it offer or include any deed-restricted affordable housing units. The project would, however, offer a unique type of live-work unit that could be attractive to a certain demographic of the workforce. The project could support the jobs-housing balance by creating both work and living spaces at the same location. However, the existing office buildings supported approximately 180 employees when used by PlanMember Financial, compared to the 20 live-work units the project contemplates.2
The project would essentially present as an interior remodel it would preserve and utilize existing commercial office buildings with minimal exterior alterations, maintaining visual compatibility with surrounding uses. There appears to be plenty of onsite parking for tenants and guests/clients, and direct access to the Coastal Vista Trail and nearby public open space areas. The site is connected to all utilities and is near a bus stop served by Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District. While the site is near Viola Fields, no onsite recreational amenities are proposed for residents, particularly those with children. If the proposed project were to be built, it could establish
non-residential area.

The residential use proposed would be unlikely to interfere with the on-site commercial use given the scale of the work spaces, but introducing residential use to the Bluffs area may pose concerns. As conceptualized, the project would have a density of 8.7 units per acre (medium density). The site contains significant ESHA outside of the developed area, which would not be directly affected or altered by the project, but could be indirectly affected by the introduction of residential use, such as increased light, noise, pedestrian activity, and vehicle access earlier and later in the day/on weekends. Additional discussion concerning the introduction of residential use to the Bluffs area is provided below.

The buildings appear and
use would dominate (the current proposal depicts an approximate 6:1 residential area to work space ratio), and the commercial work spaces would be located at the interior of the northern building, not directly accessible from or facing the street. However, even in the current office configuration, the building is not designed to be directly accessible from the sidewalk. In this regard, the proposed work spaces would not greatly differ from this layout.

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

Staff propose the following prompts for Council discussion and feedback:
-use project
in the M-RP district:
o Affordability component and job-housing balance
o Compatibility with use and characteristics of surroundings o Commercial/industrial as primary use
In the event the Council is supportive of the introduction of residential use to the subject property, but does not find the mixed-use concept to be supportable in this context, the applicant could explore options to pursue a residential-only development through, for example, an application to add a residential overlay to the property, or through a rezone.

Issue Area 2 Consistency with Allowed Commercial Uses in the M-RP Zone District As summarized above in the Issue Area 1 discussion, and as further described in CMC section 14.26.030 (Uses permitted subject to development plan approval) and CMC section 14.26.040 (Uses permitted subject to conditional use permit), only a relatively narrow range of commercial uses are allowed in the M-RP district without approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).

The proposed concept design contemplates the work spaces associated with each of the 20 live-work units as being used for small offices and design studios for tech, engineering, software, professional services, and similar industries. In a live-work development, each of the tenants of a live-work unit would be required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy and Business License demonstrating that the proposed commercial use is consistent with applicable zoning requirements in order to sign a lease and occupy a unit. For such Business Licenses to be approved, the workspaces and the businesses/tenants occupying them would need to fall within an allowed use in the M-RP zone as enumerated above.3
Staff notes that the contemplated size of the workspaces assigned to each live-work unit may make it difficult to accommodate the typical types of allowed M-RP uses R&D and testing laboratories, administrative/executive headquarters, or professional offices of a scale appropriate for a business park setting or find tenants that would fall under these categories. While software and tech companies have been present in the M-RP district for years, the scale of such uses have traditionally fit within the categories of the larger executive and professional office park settings described in the zone district.

Creating professional office work spaces scaled to a one- or two-person operation would be a new direction for the M-RP district, although perhaps not one without potential appeal.
3 If the project were constructed, individual uses/tenants of the work spaces could also seek to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to conduct a use listed in CMC 14.26.040 (conditional uses in the M-RP zone) or

14.62.030 (conditional uses in any zone district).

Staff acknowledges that many jobs in the tech or professional office sectors have been trending away from occupying traditional large suites or office buildings, and this trend is reflected in an overall decline in demand for large corporate centers and executive offices, particularly since 2020. Instead, staff have received inquiries on several recent occasions from businesses or property managers seeking professional office or light industrial space that can be divided into much smaller individual tenant spaces to better meet the needs of small start-ups, independent small businesses, and the like. Multiple properties in the M-RP zone district continue to offer office or warehouse space on the scale of entire buildings or larger leasable warehouse or office spaces, but small business or incubator spaces are not currently well-represented or readily available in the M-RP district.

Staff propose the following prompts for Council discussion and feedback:

The compatibility of the proposed workspaces with the permitted uses in the MRP zone district.

Appropriateness and need for smaller workspaces in the M-RP zone district.

Issue Area 3 Residential Use on the Bluffs
The concept proposal contemplates a mix of new rental and live-work housing units on the Carpinteria Bluffs, an area of the City which does not currently contain housing.

Housing, however, is a permissible use on several significant portions of the Bluffs, through either M-RP or PUD zoning districts, subject to development plan approval and applicable zone district development standards.4 Objective LU-6 in the GP/CLUP reflects efforts made to expand opportunities for housing in previously designated commercial and industrial areas:

Create flexible land use and zoning standards for general commercial and industrial parcels that allow opportunities for residential use to expand, as determined appropriate by the City, in response to changing needs relative to the jobs/housing balance locally and in the region, and as incentive toward the development of affordable housing.

This objective supports opportunities for residential use in the M-RP zone district, if a particular project and its setting are appropriate and conducive to such a use. In considering such a project on the bluffs, the sensitive character of the setting and the nature of the proposed use play a critical role in determining what can be found appropriate. The Community Design Element contains objectives and policies that efforts to maintain the scenic, natural qualities of the Bluffs, while acknowledging private land ownership in the area and the opportunities for development those lands present. Policy CDS6-a states:

Provide a clear direction for the future development of the Carpinteria Bluffs that:

1. Protects unique and sensitive environmental resources within the Bluffs.

2. Is compatible with the small town character of Carpinteria, enhances for travelers entering Carpinteria on U.S. 101 from the south.

3. Provides appropriate development opportunities for landowners within the Carpinteria Bluffs.

City decisionmakers and public sentiment have generally not been in support of past proposals to place housing on the Bluffs due to the sensitive and unique nature of this area of the City. Generally, past concerns with siting housing on the Bluffs have included impacts to visual and habitat resources; increased 24/7 activity (the current business park is essentially a daytime-only use); creating a precedent for more housing on the Bluffs; and shifting away from the generally quiet, low-impact nature of current recreational and office uses.

In 2013, the Council and Planning Commission conceptually reviewed a mixed-use proposal on the adjacent vacant parcel at 6175 Carpinteria Avenue. This proposal involved a 14,000 square foot R&D office building and 18 for-sale residential units, ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet each. At the time, City decisionmakers expressed concern that the project was too heavily skewed toward residential to make the mixed-use findings, and felt that a rezone or residential overlay would be a more appropriate tool to pursue the design proposed. Several decisionmakers noted that affordable residential units would be a more complimentary use to the commercial component, such that local employees could more feasibly live there. The applicant later presented City staff with a revised conceptual project design featuring fewer residences, but ultimately did not move forward with the mixed-use project.

More recently, the Planning Commission, and later the City Council, opted not to pursue a request from the property owner for a rezone of the parcels at 6155 and 6175 Carpinteria Avenue from M-RP to Residential / Mixed Use (RMU) when the property owner proposed to transition the existing warehouse (S&S Seeds) and vacant parcel to residential-only use. The -only
development containing 178 rental units ranging from studios to two-bedroom, and included 36 low-income units (20%). While the Council appreciated the affordable component, some Councilmembers noted their concern with the intensification of use, and the potential for one residential project on the Bluffs to encourage additional future residential use in the area. The Council voted 4-1 not to initiate the rezone.

The current conceptual project at 6185 Carpinteria Ave differs from both of these past proposals, namely by proposing no new structures and instead reutilizing an existing vacant building. An adaptive reuse project is likely to have fewer construction and environmental impacts because it does not involve demolition and reconstruction of entire structures. Considering the habitat and visual sensitivity of the Bluffs, this adaptive reuse concept could present a new method of accommodating housing in a

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

less impactful way. The project proposes significantly smaller units than the 2013 proposal (studio to compact two-bedroom units, versus single-family dwellings over 2,000 square feet), and at a much lower density than the recent rezone proposal (8.7 units/acre versus 28 units/acre). The adaptive reuse format of the project could prevent some of the issues raised at prior hearings for housing on the Bluffs, such as architectural compatibility, or massing and scale. However, other previously-stated concerns such as impacts to ESHA from increased activity, changes to the low intensity character of the setting, and/or triggering a gradual transformation of the area from commercial to residential may still remain.

Given this history and the unique adaptive reuse format of the conceptual proposal, staff propose the following prompts for Council discussion and feedback:

The siting of residential uses on the Bluffs.

The compatibility of the proposed residential use at this location with existing uses on the Bluffs.

Issue Area 4 Housing Supply
The City is nearly halfway through its 2023-2031 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Cycle. The RHNA allocation indicates the amount of housing in each income category that the City must accommodate to address affordability, overcrowding and/or availability of housing. excerpted
from the 2025 Annual Progress Report:

In addition to the units shown in the table, which are only counted once a building permit has been issued, more residential projects are currently being processed throughout the City which, if approved, would result in over 400 additional dwelling units, including about 75 deed-restricted affordable units. These pending projects include:

Via Real Townhomes: 96 for-sale townhome-style units (10 would be moderateincome category).

Conceptual review, 6185 Carpinteria Ave Adaptive Reuse Project July 13, 2026

The Farm Project: 94 townhomes and 97 detached single-family dwellings (19 townhomes and 20 single-family dwellings would be low-income category). 5115 Ogan Road: 130 apartment units (26 would be low-income category).

Approximately 20 additional units proposed as smaller projects, such as ADUs, small condominium complexes, or single-family homes.

The concept proposal includes 31 market rate rental housing units that would fall into income category and could further contribute towards meeting the . The units are proposed as a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedrooms, which would provide opportunities for a range of household sizes. Because the units are requirement (mandatory only for new for-sale units). While the proposed concept does not provide designated affordable units at this time, the live-work units represent a unique housing type in the City that could support businessowners who live and work in Carpinteria.

Staff propose the following prompts for Council discussion and feedback:

Proposed mix and type of housing units, as it relates to and RHNA progress.
