LBOT Staff Report
September 14, 2026

Approximately 200 community members attended the event and celebrated the success of the 2026 Summer Reading Program with the Library.

Partnerships and Grants:

Santa Barbara City College (SBCC)
The Library continues its partnership with Santa Barbara City College to offer free adult education classes during the Fall 2026 semester. Two bilingual computer classes, Microsoft Excel Fundamentals and Introduction to Computers, reached full enrollment before the first day of class. In addition, the Library is offering an English as a Second Language (ESL) class, Pronunciation and Conversation, for the first time, with 10 students enrolled at the time of this report.

These classes expand access to educational and workforce-related skills while providing convenient learning opportunities for Carpinteria residents.

Mexican Consulate
As part of the Library's ongoing efforts to support the local immigrant community, the Library coordinated with the Mexican Consulate to offer two special documentation service days on August 8 and 11. During these events, 50 local Mexican nationals received assistance obtaining essential documents, including Mexican birth certificates, identification cards, and passports.

Demand for the service was significant, with requests received from residents throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Due to the 50-person participation limit established by the Mexican Consulate, priority was given to Carpinteria residents. The strong community response resulted in a waiting list of 52 Carpinteria residents interested in participating in a future documentation services event. The Library will continue exploring opportunities to partner with the Mexican Consulate to offer additional services in Carpinteria.

California State Library HomeworkCA
The Library was awarded access to HomeworkCA, a statewide program offered through a partnership between the California State Library and Tutor.com. The service provides free online tutoring and homework assistance to school-age Carpinteria residents.

HomeworkCA will replace the Library's previous paid subscription to HomeworkHelp, resulting in savings that will help the Library respond to current budget reductions while continuing to provide students and families with access to high-quality academic support.

The Library's selection to participate in HomeworkCA reflects its successful participation in California State Library initiatives and evaluation efforts during the previous fiscal year, including Every Story Counts and other Public Library surveys. The Library received strong

LBOT Staff Report

community feedback and positive participation results, demonstrating the value and impact of its services.

City Librarian: The City Librarian will be on vacation from September 1-15, 2026.

In addition to her regular Library Technician responsibilities, Sophia will lead the Babies Are the Best program, where babies and their parents can participate in music, movement, and social activities. Her background in music and performance will support the continued development of this popular early-literacy program.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The Library programs and resources are consistent with the actions of the City Council concerning the establishment of a municipal library.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
All resources and activities are budgeted in the FY2025-2026 Library budget.

The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Community Workshop was held in English on Thursday, September 3, 2026, and in Spanish on Friday, September 4, 2026.

The Community Garden welcomed back the local homeschool group, Carpinteria Learning Academy for Youth, on Tuesday, September 1. During their first visit, 20 students began preparing their garden bed, learned about the Garden’s composting systems, and assisted with weeding in common areas.

Vice Mayor Solórzano reported on her attendance at the August 10th Public Engagement Committee meeting where the State of the City was discussed.

Councilmember Nomura reported on the August 20th Community Matters event which covered the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and Builder’s Remedy. He also suggested that staff incorporate the identified strategic plan priorities more consistently into Council agendas to ensure these priorities receive regular attention and help staff focus their limited time and resources on high-priority work, rather than being pulled toward day-to-day tasks that don’t align with the City’s strategic priorities.

Mayor Alarcon recommended amending the existing policy to include avoiding scheduling public meetings on religious holidays. After a brief discussion, there was Council consensus to have staff continue exploring the issue potentially as part of a future strategic planning discussion in January or February of next year.

All Councilmembers present are expected to be in attendance at the September 14th regular City Council meeting.

Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 11
Council Meeting Date: September 14, 2026

Grant Agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program September 14, 2026

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) administers federal highway safety funds to support programs aimed at reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries and improving safety for all roadway users. OTS provides grant funding to state and local agencies to implement activities identified in California's statewide highway safety plan. Because OTS grants are awarded to public agencies, nonprofit organizations such as MOVE may receive funding through a local agency that serves as the grant host.

In 2022, MOVE requested that the City serve as the local agency grant host for an OTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program grant. The City Council authorized the arrangement, and the City subsequently received $65,784 in OTS funding. The grant supported activities including bicycle and pedestrian safety fairs, educational presentations, safety gear distribution, development of program materials, and community bicycle rides. The grant concluded successfully in September 2024.

Following the return of federal grant opportunities in 2024, MOVE again requested that the City serve as the local agency grant host for a new OTS grant. In consultation with the City, MOVE applied for funding through the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program because the program objectives align with MOVE's ongoing work and the City's Safe Routes to School Program.

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program is intended to support activities that reduce traffic-related fatalities and injuries, with an emphasis on improving the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. Program objectives include reducing the number of pedestrians and bicyclists killed or injured in traffic crashes, with particular emphasis on children under 15 and adults over 65, as well as increasing bicycle helmet use.

In 2025, MOVE submitted an application for $30,500 in OTS funding. OTS approved the application, and on August 25, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the resulting Grant Agreement. The grant activity period commenced October 1, 2025, and concludes September 30, 2026.

The City has again been asked to serve as the local agency grant host for the upcoming OTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program grant cycle. OTS has awarded $25,000 for the new grant period of October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. There is no local matching requirement associated with the grant.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to authorize the City Manager to execute the new Grant Agreement with OTS on behalf of MOVE and appropriate the associated $25,000 in grant revenue and expenditures in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.

DISCUSSION
OTS grant requirements provide that the governing body of the local agency serving as the grant host must authorize execution of the Grant Agreement. Proposed Resolution No. 6496 (Attachment A) would satisfy this requirement and authorize the City Manager to execute the Grant Agreement on behalf of the City.

Grant Agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program September 14, 2026

The proposed Grant Agreement, included as Exhibit 1 to Resolution No. 6496, establishes the grant requirements and identifies the activities to be performed by MOVE during the grant period. In general, MOVE will conduct activities focused on pedestrian and bicycle safety, including:

1. Public outreach and education through various means and methods;

2. Distribution of bicycle safety equipment and materials;

3. Safety surveys to gather information and evaluate program effectiveness; and

4. Bicycle safety training and related educational activities.

The grant activity period is October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.

OTS has approved a grant award of $25,000, with no local match requirement. Grant funds are provided on a reimbursement basis, meaning eligible expenses must be incurred and documented before reimbursement is requested from OTS.

As the local agency grant host, the City will enter into the Grant Agreement with OTS and will be responsible for administering the grant in accordance with OTS requirements. MOVE will perform the approved program activities and provide the City with the documentation necessary to support reimbursement requests and grant reporting. The City will not be required to provide local matching funds for the program.

There is no local matching requirement associated with the grant. City staff will provide grant administration and fiscal oversight as part of existing staff responsibilities.

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

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

Policies:

C-7g. Create a citywide campaign of prolonged duration promoting alternative transportation.

Roadway Safety Plan.1
1 City Council Resolution No. 6119 (April 11, 2022)

Grant Agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program September 14, 2026

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of this item requires an appropriation of $25,000 to Expense Account No. 101- 401-5201 (Professional Services) and an increase of $25,000 in estimated revenue in Revenue Account No. 101-401-4360 (State Grant) in the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

The requested appropriation will be fully offset by the corresponding State Grant revenue, resulting in a $25,000 increase in both General Fund expenditure and revenue, with no net impact to the General Fund.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Pursuant to OTS grant requirements for federal funds, a resolution is required to be adopted by the City Council in order for the City to execute the Grant Agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety on behalf of a non-profit organization.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6496 authorizing the City Manager to execute the Grant Agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program, and approve a $25,000 appropriation to Expense Account No. 101-401-5201 (Professional Services) and a corresponding $25,000 increase in estimated revenue to Revenue Account No. 101-401-4360 (State Grant) in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Fund Budget.

2. Decline to approve the Grant Agreement and direct staff as determined appropriate.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

This grant will impact the City of Carpinteria, a coastal community located on the southern edge of Santa Barbara County, approximately 12 miles southeast of Santa Barbara. Carpinteria spans 2.6 square miles, with elevations ranging from sea level to 700 feet, and is home to roughly 13,000 residents. The local economy is supported by agriculture, tourism and retail, light industry, and research and development. US Highway 101 bisects the city, creating significant physical barriers that can limit safe and direct walking and biking routes, particularly for students traveling to and from school. Despite these challenges, Carpinteria is well-suited for active transportation. Its compact size (2.6 square miles) and relatively flat topography make walking and biking practical and accessible for many residents. The city also offers numerous destinations within close proximity, including parks, community gardens, the salt marsh, the beach, a vibrant downtown, and other natural and recreational amenities.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

The City of Carpinteria faces a significant and urgent pedestrian and bicycle safety challenge, as demonstrated by recent crash data and the high number of students who rely on active transportation.

Between 2022 and 2024, four reported crashes involved bicyclists, all resulting in injuries, including one fatality and one crash involving a bicyclist under the age of 15 an alarming outcome for a small community.

These risks are compounded by the large share of students who walk or bike to school within the Carpinteria Unified School District, which serves six public schools. Recent mobility counts show that 23% of students at Aliso Elementary walk to school. At Carpinteria Middle School, 25% of students walk and 14% bike, while at Carpinteria High School, 15% walk and 12% bike. This heavy reliance on walking and biking increases student exposure to traffic-related dangers and underscores the urgent need for targeted pedestrian and bicycle safety interventions.

Unsafe behaviors among student pedestrians and bicyclists have been identified as contributing factors to these crashes. These behaviors include riding bicycles on the wrong side of the road, biking on sidewalks, riding at excessive speeds, improper helmet use, unsafe lane changes, cell phone distractions, reckless riding near pedestrians, and failure to stop at stop signs or properly navigate intersections. The increase in bicycle-related crashes in recent years has raised concerns among parents, community members, and school staff, all of whom have emphasized the need for stronger safety education and interventions to reduce risks for students traveling to and from school.

While officially reported crash numbers appear modest, it is widely recognized that many bicycle and pedestrian incidents go unreported to law enforcement, particularly those that do not involve motor vehicles or result in severe injury. Although Carpinteria is often viewed as a walkable and bikeable community, concern for student safety remains a primary reason families do not allow their children to walk or bike to school. Contributing factors include narrow sidewalks, limited visibility due to parked vehicles, and the presence of Highway 101, which bisects the city and requires students to cross busy freeway on- and offincreasing exposure to high-speed traffic and unsafe conditions for young road users.

Community concern regarding youth bicycle and e-bike safety has become increasingly visible in local news and public discourse. A December 22, 2025 news headline quoted a pedestrian struck by a youth bicyclist urging City Council to approve e-bike safety measures. In a recent city newsletter, the Mayor noted a -related crashes, particularly involving eto slow down, follow the rules of the road, and wear helmets. These concerns have also been echoed by school leadership. On March 18, 2025, the principal of Carpinteria Middle School notified families that a student had been injured in a bicycle crash requiring emergency response, emphasizing the ongoing need for helmet use, age-appropriate and legal e-bikes, and greater awareness of traffic laws. Together, these voices reinforce the community-wide recognition that youth pedestrian and bicycle safety is a growing and urgent concern.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The program is designed to serve the diverse population within the City of Carpinteria, with a primary focus on students under the age of 18 who walk or bike to school, along with their families, drivers, and the broader community. Special emphasis is placed on supporting disadvantaged students and students with disabilities. Within the Carpinteria Unified School District, 75% of students identify as minorities, and 69% are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged, underscoring the importance of providing consistent, high-quality safety education across all public schools.

The program also prioritizes individuals with mobility challenges, including wheelchair users. These groups face significant barriers due to limited and inadequate infrastructure, particularly when crossing U.S. 101.

With only three streets providing access across the highway and one of three overpasses lacking sufficient sidewalk facilities and two of the overpasses lacking sufficient bicycle facilities altogether safe and efficient mobility is severely constrained. This infrastructure gap disproportionately impacts vulnerable users and restricts their ability to move safely throughout the community.

Using a Safe System Approach, given the concentration of traffic on a limited number of corridors with substandard infrastructure, the program will educate pedestrians and bicyclists on safe behaviors in school zones and areas with high pedestrian and bicyclist activity. Outreach efforts will include parent engagement, targeted educational materials, and safety campaigns that emphasize yielding to pedestrians, slowing down when driving, and heightened awareness near schools. These educational materials will be posted on social media as well.

This program will implement bicycle safety training classes for students that are structured into four sessions during PE, covering helmet fitting, bicycle safety checks, clothing checks, and essential skills such as stopping, yielding, and using turn signals. Bicycles and helmets will be provided for all participants, ensuring accessibility for every student. The program includes experienced instructors, comprehensive course materials, setup and takedown support, and opportunities for PE teachers to learn the curriculum alongside students. For middle and high school levels, classes will emphasize e-bike safety, focusing on laws, helmet safety and proper fit, bike safety inspections, and understanding the differences between riding an e-bike and a manual bike, including speed and driver perception. This approach ensures students and staff are well-prepared to navigate both traditional bicycles and e-bikes safely and confidently.

By addressing the needs of students and families, the grant aims to advance safety and mobility for all members of the Carpinteria community.

City of Carpinteria

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Revision to the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Authorized Full-Time Position List.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the revised Fiscal Year 2026/27 Authorized Full-Time Position List, as shown in Attachment A, to authorize one Human Resources/Risk Manager position within General Government and reduce the Management Analyst I/II/Senior Management Analyst series from two authorized positions to one.

Sample Motion: I move to approve the revised Fiscal Year 2026/27 Authorized Full-Time Position List as provided in Attachment A.

BACKGROUND
The Human Resources/Risk Manager position was authorized and funded by the City Council for more than 25 years before becoming vacant in Fiscal Year 2022/23. At that time, the Human Resources Division consisted of the Human Resources/Risk Manager and a part-time Human Resources Technician. Rather than recruit to fill the vacancy, the City assigned lead administrative responsibility for Human Resources and Risk Management to the Assistant City Manager, added a Human Resources Management Analyst I, and discontinued the part-time Human Resources Technician position. This allowed the City time to evaluate long-term staffing needs for the division while creating temporary budget savings. The Management Analyst I position was subsequently reclassified to Management Analyst II in April 2023 and to Senior Management Analyst in July 2026.

On June 8, 2026, the City Council approved the Mid-Cycle Budget Report for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27, including the Authorized Full-Time Position List. The approved list identified two positions in the Management Analyst I/II/Senior Management Analyst classification series (Management Analyst Series) within General Government and did not include an authorized Human Resources/Risk Manager position for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

In September 2026, the Senior Management Analyst assigned to the Human Resources Division resigned. Staff recommends filling the vacancy at the Human Resources/Risk Manager classification rather than recruiting again within the Management Analyst Series.

Human Resources and Risk Management-related responsibilities continue to grow, requiring Agenda Section: Consent Calendar

management-level authority and independent decision making. Reinstating the position restores a single accountable administrator for both the Human Resources and Risk Management functions.

The Human Resources/Risk Manager classification i
Miscellaneous Personnel Classification and Compensation Schedule (Attachment B); however, there is currently no authorized FTE allocated to the classification. City Council approval of the revised Authorized Full-Time Position List is required before the vacancy can be filled at the Human Resources/Risk Manager classification.

DISCUSSION
The proposed revision reallocates one existing General Government FTE from the Management Analyst I/II/Senior Management Analyst series to the Human Resources/Risk Manager classification. The revision does not increase the number of authorized full-time positions in General Government or Citywide.

Under the proposed revision, the Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Government staffing allocation would reflect one Human Resources/Risk Manager and one Management Analyst I/II/Senior Management Analyst. The General Government subtotal would remain eight full-time positions, and the Citywide total would remain 43 full-time positions.

Approval of the revised Authorized Full-Time Position List will allow the City to proceed with recruitment and appointment to the Human Resources/Risk Manager classification.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
budgeted staffing levels and authorized fullalign staffing with current operational needs.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed action does not increase the number of authorized full-time positions. The Fiscal Year 2026/27 annual salary range for Senior Management Analyst is $87,976.36 to $120,967.50, compared to $96,993.94 to $133,366.67 for Human Resources/Risk Manager.

The difference between the two salary ranges is approximately $9,000 to $12,000 annually, depending on salary placement. Actual salary and benefit costs will depend on the selected Any net budget impact resulting from the change in classification will be addressed within the General Government personnel budget or brought forward for a future budget adjustment, if necessary.

Revised Authorized Position List
September 14, 2026

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
There are no legal or risk management concerns associated with revising the Authorized FullTime Position List. The recruitment and appointment will be conducted in accordance with applicable City policies and employment requirements.

OPTIONS

1. Approve the revised Fiscal Year 2026/27 Authorized Full-Time Position List as presented.

2. The City Council could choose not to approve the revised Fiscal Year 2026/27 Authorized Full-Time Position List and provide alternative direction to staff.

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

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Sixth Amendment to Lease Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for use of City submerged lands

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the mayor to execute a Sixth Amendment to the Lease Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the Mayor to approve and execute the proposed Sixth Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City of Carpinteria and Chevron (Requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
On September 27, 1965, the County of Santa Barbara (County) entered into a 50-year lease with Standard Oil Company of California, allowing the installation and operation of two 10-inch pipelines through the three-mile area of submerged lands within state waters for the transportation of oil and gas from offshore platforms to the Carpinteria onshore processing facility (Pipeline Lease). The Pipeline Lease provides a 50-footwide corridor for the pipelines. ln 1968, the City of Carpinteria (City) annexed a two-mile portion of the submerged lands that were previously controlled by the County and was consequently granted authority to administer that two-mile area by the State of California to be held in trust for the public. The County retains jurisdiction over the third mile of state submerged lands through which the pipelines run.

Chevron USA, lnc. (Chevron) became the successor in interest to Standard Oil and acceded to its rights in the Pipeline Lease. On January 30, 2002, the City approved an assignment of the Pipeline Lease to Ellwood Pipeline, lnc. (Ellwood), a subsidiary of Venoco, lnc. (Venoco). By approving the First Amendment to the Pipeline Lease, the City consented to assignment of all rights and obligations under the pipeline Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 13
Council Meeting Date: September 14, 2026

Request for Extension of Lease - Offshore Pipeline
September 14, 2026

Lease to Ellwood and Venoco.

The Pipeline Lease was set to expire on September 27, 2015. Prior to the expiration date, Ellwood submitted a request for a 40-year extension of the pipeline Lease. Representatives of the City, County, and Ellwood, met on several occasions to discuss various considerations related request. ln order to allow more time to gather information necessary to consider Ellwood's request for a long term lease, the Council approved, on September 15, 2015, a Second Amendment to the Pipeline Lease granting Ellwood an 18-month extension and, on March 13, 2017, granted an additional 18-month extension by approving the Third Amendment, extending the Pipeline Lease through September 26, 2018. During the short-term extension periods for the Pipeline Lease, the City and the County independently obtained opinions that assured the integrity and operational safety of the pipelines.

On April 17, 2017, Venoco and Ellwood filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Venoco and Ellwood, as debtors in bankruptcy, negotiated a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Chevron whereby Chevron acquired the majority of the assets and properties held by Venoco and Ellwood within the City, including the oil and gas plant site (about 55 acres that includes the Carpinteria Processing Facility), the Pipeline Lease and the facilities located within the lease areas. Chevron stated that its purpose in acquiring Venoco's assets and properties was to decommission them in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
ln 2017, the City Council approved the transfer of the Pipeline Lease from Ellwood/Venoco to Chevron as a part of the transfer of all of the Carpinteria-located assets to Chevron. The City and Chevron also agreed to an extended Pipeline Lease term of 5 years, to September 26, 2023.

On September 11, 2023, the City and Chevron entered into a Fifth Amendment of the Pipeline Lease, which will come to term on September 26, 2026.

DISCUSSION
Since around 2019, Chevron has actively pursued decommissioning of its Carpinteria oil and gas facilities, and on October 27, 2025, the City Council received a presentation on to date.

The Pipeline Lease pertains to a 50-foot-wide parcel of land that extends approximately 18,266 feet from the coastline to platform Hope and an additional 3,780 feet from platform Hope to platform Heidi.
pigged and prepped for removal, which will take place in concert and coordination with land facilities.

While Chevron had originally requested a five-year extension to the Pipeline Lease (to September 2031) (Attachment A Letter from Chevron to City dated May 7, 2026), this

Request for Extension of Lease - Offshore Pipeline
September 14, 2026

Sixth Amendment is for six months (to March 26, 2027) (Attachment B). The City abbreviated extension. During this time, City staff and Chevron will reevaluate the lease.

The City is authorized by law to lease tide and submerged lands for terms of up to 66 years. The Pipeline Lease was originally entered into on or about September 27, 1965, meaning that its cumulative term must expire on or before September 26, 2031 in order to comply with the maximum term limitation under state law. When the parties discuss and remediation activities will influence whether another amendment would be appropriate or if a new agreement is warranted.

Pursuant to amendments to the statutes granting tide and submerged lands to the City (Stats. 1978, Ch.697), approval from the California State Lands Commission is required for leases on tide and submerged lands under the City's control. The City has advised State Lands Commission staff that it has received an extension request from Chevron that is under consideration and will communicate the outcome to the Commission.

The Sixth Amendment to the Pipeline Lease only changes the term. The current annual Pipeline Lease rate of $48,701.46 reflects the automatic biennial CPI adjustments that were provided for in the 2002 Consent to Assignment of Pipeline Lease and First Amendment. Chevron, as with other amendments, will pay the City a non-refundable fee intended to reimburse the City for its costs in preparing and processing this amendment ($5,000).

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The purpose of the proposed Sixth Amendment is to extend the Pipeline Lease to Chevron. Approval of the proposed Sixth Amendment is required in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15261(b), "Ongoing Project," 15301, "Existing Facilities," and 15061(b)(3), "Review for Exemption." The proposed Notices of Exemption, Attachment C, provides a detailed explanation of the facts and evidence supporting the exemptions.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
As previously mentioned, Chevron will reimburse the City the cost for processing this amendment. The lease payment calculation remains unchanged.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the Sixth Amendment and will be available to answer questions.

Re: QLS 958021 - Requested Extension of Lease dated September 27, 1965 between County of Santa Barbara and Standard Oil Company of California
Mr. Bobroff:

As you are likely well aware, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron”) and the City of Carpinteria (“City”) are both successors in interest to a lease dated September 27, 1965 between the County of Santa Barbara and the Standard Oil Company of California that pertains to a parcel of land 50 foot wide that extends approximately 18,266 feet from the coastline to platform Hope and an additional 3,780 feet from platform Hope to platform Heidi (the “Lease”). The Lease has been amended five times, most recently in a document dated September 11, 2023 (“Fifth Amendment to Lease”) in which Paragraph 1 of the Lease was deleted and replaced with the following language:
“1. That the term of this agreement shall commence on September 27, 1965, and shall continue thereafter (unless sooner terminated as herein provided) until September 26, 2026, after which Lessee may seek City’s consent for an extension if necessary due to federal requirements to conclude activities described in Paragraph 4.”
Due to the upcoming expiration of the Lease on September 27, 2026, Chevron is requesting a 5-year extension to retain its pipelines for the purpose of performing the decommissioning and abandonment of the oil and gas platforms, wells, pipelines, and appurtenant facilities. I have attached both a copy of the Fifth Amendment to Lease (including the Lease and four previous Amendments) as well as a proposed Sixth Amendment to Lease for your review and approval.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to discuss this matter, feel free to reach out to me at either 412-216-7079 and/or emailing me at [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to your reply.

15261(b) ONGOING PROJECT
Reasons to support exemption findings: An ongoing private project shall be exempt from CEQA if the project received approval of a lease, license, certificate, permit, or other entitlement for use from a public agency prior to April 5, 1973. Here, a lease between Standard Oil Company of California (predecessor in interest to Chevron U.S.A. Inc.) and the County of Santa Barbara was executed on September 27, 1965 to allow for the installation and operation of two 10-inch pipelines through the three-mile area of submerged lands within state waters. In 1968, upon grant to the City of a portion of State tidelands previously administered by the County, the City acceded to the County’s rights in the Lease as it relates to that area within the tidelands granted to the City in trust. The City subsequently executed multiple extensions and an assignment to Chevron, allowing Chevron to operate private facilities on submerged lands held in public trust by the City. The City Council’s approval of the Sixth Amendment to extend the term of the Lease Agreement for six months, through March 26, 2027, is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15261 of the CEQA Guidelines because it will allow the continued use of the two existing submerged oil and gas pipelines for decommissioning purposes, with no change to facilities and no expansion of use beyond what was originally approved in the Lease Agreement. The use of the pipelines is more limited than originally contemplated in that they are no longer used for oil and gas production. Chevron’s subsurface facilities have been flushed, pigged, and prepped for removal, which will take place in concert and coordination with Chevron’s decommissioning and remediation efforts of its land facilities.

Cite specific CEQA and/or CEQA Guideline Section: 15061(b)(3) REVIEW FOR EXEMPTION Reasons to support exemption findings: A project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. “Significant effect on the environment” is defined in the CEQA Guidelines as “... a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in the environment.” Whether the project will have a significant effect is determined by comparing the effects of the project to the environmental baseline existing at the time the project is reviewed and considered.

Ordinarily, ongoing activities occurring at the project site at the time environmental review begins are treated as a component of the existing conditions baseline. The existing conditions here include the ongoing decommissioning of the pipelines and appurtenant facilities approved under the Lease Agreement as amended. The extension

of the existing Lease Agreement for six months to allow continued decommissioning and abandonment activities, under the same parameters as currently operated, does not involve any change in present conditions, and, therefore, does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment when compared against the existing conditions. No new facilities will be installed and the ongoing operation of the pipelines is more limited than the original use in that the pipelines are no longer used for oil and gas production. Therefore, the extension does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment and the action is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

Cite specific CEQA and/or CEQA Guideline Section: 15301 EXISTING FACILITIES Reasons to support exemption findings: As defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, Section 15301 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. The extension of the existing lease will provide for the continued operation, repair, maintenance and leasing of existing private facilities under the same parameters as currently operated, with more limited use of the oil and gas pipelines.

There will be no physical alteration or expansion of the existing use resulting from the action, and, therefore, the Lease Agreement extension is exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15301.

Exceptions to the exemptions not applicable: In addition, there is no substantial evidence that any of the exceptions to the exemptions contained in Guideline Section 15300.2 apply to the proposed action, as explained below. (a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located — a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The pipelines’ locations are not identified as an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state or local agencies and the City is not relying on the exemptions in Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11.

(b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.

The available Federal oil and gas leases in the area of Platforms Gail and Grace have been developed. It is highly unlikely that additional platforms will be constructed during the term of the Lease Agreement extension that have the potential to result in additional transmission pipelines in the area. There are no other oil and gas pipeline systems in the area that have been extended or renewed, or will be extended or renewed by the City or the County of Santa Barbara within the term of the Lease Agreement. Further, the subject lease is being extended to allow Chevron to continue decommissioning and abandonment of the wells and facilities on these platforms, after which the subject pipelines will cease to be used. Given that successive projects of the same type in the same place are unlikely during the six-month period of the lease extension, no cumulative impacts will occur. Therefore, there will be no successive projects of the same type in the same place over time and no resultant associated cumulative impacts. (c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. There will be no physical alteration or expansion of the existing use. After the Lease Agreement extension, the same facilities will be operated under the same parameters as currently operating, with more limited use of the pipelines since they are being used for decommissioning activities rather than oil and gas production. The Lease Agreement extension will not alter the existing environmental baseline. For the exception to apply, the activity must present unusual circumstances and there must be a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Since there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment, this exception is inapplicable.
(d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR. This project is not visible from any scenic highways.

CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL
On June 1, 2026, the Planning Commission approved a Development Plan, Lot Line Adjustment, and Coastal Development Permit to allow the construction of a new 3,520 square foot two-story single-family residence with a detached 840-square-foot three-car garage at 333 Linden Avenue, and an adjustment to the common lot line with the adjacent property at 355 Linden Avenue.

Pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) §14.78.040, the Planning Commission’s decision was subject to a 10-day appeal period. Prior to the close of this appeal period on June 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Marilyn Jenkins submitted a written appeal to the City Clerk. The filed appeal application and supporting documentation are provided as Attachment C.

Agenda Section: Public Hearing
Agenda Item No.: 14
Council Meeting Date: September 14, 2026

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

The CMC provides that, upon filing an appeal, the City Council may: (1) approve the action of the Planning Commission and deny the appeal, without a public hearing, or (2) accept the appeal and review the action taken by the Planning Commission, and either affirm, modify, or reverse the Planning Commission’s decision (CMC §14.78.040. 5.). In order to protect the appellant’s right to due process and right to a hearing, staff recommends that the City Council accept the appeal and conduct a de novo hearing on the project.

STANDARD OF REVIEW
The CMC provides that consideration of the appeal is not limited to the grounds stated by the appellant (CMC §14.78.040 4.). The appeal is treated as a “de novo” hearing on the project in that the Council may consider any information submitted prior to or at the public hearing, including the entire record of the Planning Commission’s decision. The Council’s role is to review the project in light of the entire record and render its decision as if it were the original decision-maker exercising its independent judgment. The Council shall affirm, reverse, or modify the Planning Commission’s decision (CMC §14.78.040 5.).

This City Council hearing has been duly noticed. All property owners within 300 feet and all occupants within 100 feet of the subject property were mailed a notice, and publication in the local newspaper, the Coastal View News, was provided.

BACKGROUND
The following sub-sections provide pertinent background concerning the proposed project description, site setting, regulatory setting, environmental review, and review by the City’s Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission.

Project Description
The requested Development Plan would allow the construction of a new 3,520 squarefoot two-story single-family dwelling and a detached 840-square-foot three-car garage.

The maximum roof ridge height of the residence would be 24.08 feet above finished grade and the height of the detached garage would be 14.5 feet. The project would include new landscaping and hardscape, including a new curb cut and driveway from Dorrance Way. A 30-inch diameter Platanus racemosa (Western Sycamore) is proposed to be protected and retained in place on site. The 912-square-foot detached garage at 355 Linden Avenue would be demolished to remedy an encroachment onto the 333 Linden Avenue property. Approximately 67 cubic yards of soil would be imported for site preparation. Vehicular access would be from Dorrance Way via the new driveway.

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

The project includes a Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) between 333 and 355 Linden Avenue.

The property at 355 Linden Avenue (Parcel A) is 9,787.5 square feet in size and is currently an “L” shaped lot with a portion of its property extending behind 333 Linden Avenue. The property at 333 Linden Avenue (Parcel B) is a 5,287.5 square-foot rectangular lot. The LLA would reconfigure the common lot lines to become a single straight line between the two parcels and take 2,250 square feet from Parcel A and add it to Parcel B, resulting in two equally sized 7,537.5-square-foot rectangular parcels. A 15-foot-wide non-exclusive easement for the benefit of Parcel B is proposed across the rear of Parcel A for the new driveway to provide ingress and egress from Dorrance Way to the proposed garage.

A Coastal Development Permit is required to allow the proposed development as described above.

Proposed plans are included in Attachment A, Exhibit 2. Story poles for a prior design were erected on April 14, 2025, and are substantially similar in height and locations as the current proposal; photographs of the story poles can be found in Attachment B.

Site and Neighborhood Characteristics
The project site consists of two separate parcels. The property at 355 Linden Avenue (Parcel A) is located at the corner of Linden Avenue and Dorrance Way and is presently developed with a 2,460-square-foot two-story residential structure and a 912-squarefoot detached garage. The property at 333 Linden Avenue (Parcel B) is a vacant parcel that is 5,287 square feet in size and is located in-between the 355 Linden Avenue property and the adjacent residence to the south owned by the appellant at 301 Linden Avenue. Parcel B has been historically conveyed and treated as a singular property with Parcel A, however, the City’s Surveyor reviewed and confirmed that Parcels A and B are in fact separate legal lots.

The project site is located in the Beach Neighborhood (Community Design Subarea 1), which is comprised of a mix of single- and multi-family residences. The site is immediately surrounded by a two-story residence with accessory structures and The Spot restaurant to the north, Linden Field and the Carpinteria State Beach campgrounds to the east (across Linden Avenue), a two-story single-family residence to the south, and a vacant lot and residences to the west. The general vicinity contains a mix of one- and two-story residential structures, and a mix of single- and multi-family residences of varying sizes, architectural styles, and age.

Regulatory Setting
The project site is zoned Planned Residential Development (PRD-20) and has a Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use designation. The project site is not currently located in any overlay districts. The site is, however, located in an area

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

identified as being vulnerable to future sea level rise impacts as discussed in the City’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan (SLRVAAP).1 Proposed development in the PRD-20 zone district is subject to review and approval of a discretionary Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit. The Lot Line Adjustment is required to change the common lot line shared between the two parcels.

Environmental Review
This project can be found to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures); 15304 (minor alterations to land); 15305 (minor alterations in land use limitations); and 15332 (in-fill development projects) of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Class 3 Exemptions include, but are not limited to, the construction of a new single-family residence with a detached garage. Class 4 Exemptions allow for minor alterations to land that include grading on land with a slope of less than 10%, new landscaping, and minor trenching and backfilling where the surface is restored. Class 5 Exemptions allow for minor lot line adjustments that do not result in the creation of a new parcel. Class 32 Exemptions allow for in-fill development projects provided the project: is consistent with the applicable general plan policies and zoning regulations; the site is within city limits on a site no larger than five acres surrounded by urban uses; the site has no habitat value for rare, threatened, or endangered species; the approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The project meets the requirements for the listed Categorical Exemptions as the project includes the construction of a new single-family residence, a detached garage, associated grading (including utility trenches and over-excavation and recompaction for the foundation), landscaping improvements, and a lot line adjustment that would not create a new parcel; wherein the project is consistent with the City’s General/Coastal Plan and Zoning Code, is located within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, and the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. As the project is consistent with these standards, the exemption is appropriate.

Staff has also reviewed the exceptions to categorical exemptions contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 and determined that none apply to the proposed project.

The project is located on a previously disturbed infill site within a developed residential neighborhood and would not affect scenic highways, designated hazardous waste sites, historic resources, or environmentally sensitive habitat. Further, there is no substantial 1 The City’s SLRVAAP can be found on the website here: https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/communitydevelopment/planning/general-plan-local-coastal-plan-update/

evidence that the project presents unusual circumstances or would result in significant cumulative or other environmental impacts. Therefore, the categorical exemptions identified above remain applicable.

The proposed CEQA Notice of Exemption is included as Attachment D.

Architectural Review Board (ARB)
Concept Review
A concept proposal, Project 22-2177-CON, for a duplex on this site was previously reviewed by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) on December 15, 2022 prior to the formal project application submittal on July 13, 2023. (Note that the formal application was originally also for a duplex, and the plans were later revised to a single-family dwelling.) The ARB had the following comments on the concept proposal for this site:
➢ The architecture is very “Santa Barbara” style; instead of Spanish, consider a bungalow or Monterey style of architecture,
➢ Lower the plate heights and step in the second story to bring the massing down as viewed from the street,
➢ Use colors that add variety to better fit the neighborhood, ➢ Increase the setbacks and reduce the overall massing, and ➢ The garage doors facing the street were acceptable, but narrow the driveway width.

Preliminary Review
A formal project application for a new duplex on the site was submitted on July 13, 2023, and subsequently revised plans for a Spanish/Mediterranean style 3,251-squarefoot two-story single-family residence with an attached 426-square-foot two-car garage, for a total size of 3,677 square feet with a maximum height of 24.42 feet, were submitted in December 2024. The proposal for the single-family residence received preliminary review by the ARB on May 1, 2025. At that meeting, one neighbor spoke and submitted a comment letter raising concerns about privacy, the height and size of the residence, and the architectural style. A second neighbor submitted a comment letter with concerns about privacy and sea level rise impacts.

The ARB reviewed the design for the single-family dwelling and voted 4-0 to continue the project to a future meeting with the following comments:
➢ The Spanish/Mediterranean style is acceptable,
➢ The “muscular” massing should be scaled down to a scale similar to the residence at 355 Linden Avenue,
➢ The plate heights should be reduced to lower the overall height, ➢ Reduce the overall size of the residence,

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

➢ The floor plan should have direct access to the backyard and fewer than five bedrooms,
➢ Add gables and pop-outs to add articulation to the long walls, and ➢ With the understanding that the sycamore would be retained, a new palm should be planted on Linden Avenue to replace the palm to be removed to accommodate a new driveway.

The plans were revised in response to the ARB comments, and received a second preliminary review by the ARB on November 13, 2025. The changes made to the proposed residence included:
• A Lot Line Adjustment was incorporated into the project which would reconfigure the lot line between the property at 355 Linden Avenue (which is currently an “Lshaped” parcel) and the project site to create two parallel rectangular parcels of equal size at 7,537 square-feet;
• The size of the residence was increased by 189 square feet and a new 356- square-foot covered porch was added to the rear of the residence; • The plate heights on the second story were reduced to a range of 7.5-feet to 9.5- feet, which lowered the overall height from 24.42-feet to 23.83-feet, a reduction of seven inches;
• The floor plan was reconfigured with the main living area accessible to the backyard and the residence was reduced from five bedrooms to four bedrooms with a den;
• Pop-outs with open gable roofs were added to the side and rear elevations to articulate the massing;
• The design was “softened” with more Mediterranean style details and features such as: additional arched windows, adding Santa Barbara stone accents to the front and side walls, the roof pitch on the second story was raised from 2.5:12 to 4:12, the incorporation of shallow or no roof overhangs, additional scallop details in the stucco below the areas without a roof overhang, and an additional tiled arch surround on the northern garage window;
• The second floor was stepped in from the first floor at distances ranging from 7- feet to 2-feet on the sides and set back 18.5 feet from the front; • The landscaping plan was revised to include a variety of ornamental flowering shrubs and grasses, in addition to perimeter hedges and a lawn area with olive trees in the rear yard; and
• The proposal continued to retain the existing 30-inch diameter native Platanus racemosa (Western Sycamore) that is located at the front of the property, and a tree protection plan was prepared for the project (see Sheet TPP0.0 in Attachment A, Exhibit 2).

No public comment letters were submitted for the second ARB meeting; however, one member of the public spoke with concerns about the existing hedge height blocking views of the story poles, suspicions that the new residence would be a vacation rental, and concerns over the size of the proposed residence. The ARB members were

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

generally supportive of the revised design, and voted 4-0 (Woolf recused) to recommend preliminary approval to the Planning Commission with the following comments on the revised design:
➢ A tree should be added in the planter on the north side of the driveway; ➢ Additional landscaping should be added along the common property line with the adjacent residence at 355 Linden Avenue; and
➢ Consider a darker cream/beige stucco color, similar to the color of the stucco at Dart Coffee in Linden Square.

The plans were updated in response to the ARB comments with the following changes:
• The landscaping plan was updated to include an olive tree and additional shrubs along the northern property line to soften views from the street; and • The proposed color for the stucco is Navajo White, due to the subsequent Final ARB approval of the new adjacent residence at 4949 Dorrance Way with a darker cream/beige stucco color (Greek Villa), and the desire to avoid two houses with the same color in close proximity.

Copies of the approved ARB Meeting Minutes from December 15, 2022; May 1, 2025; and November 13, 2025 are included in Attachment E.
2 Planning Commission (PC) Review
The Planning Commission initially reviewed the project on February 2, 2026. At that meeting, four members of the public spoke with concerns about the new residence becoming a vacation rental, safety issues with the proposed new driveway on Linden Avenue, the size of the proposed residence, impacts to private mountain views, and concerns with the neighborhood compatibility of the design. One of the speakers also submitted a public comment letter which reiterated their spoken comments.

The Planning Commission had mixed comments on the proposal. Some expressed concerns that the proposed residence was too large and not compatible with the neighborhood, hesitancy about the possibility of the new residence becoming a vacation rental, reluctance to allow the removal of one of the iconic palm trees on Linden Avenue. Other Commissioners expressed support for the proposal as a reasonable improvement on the site that would improve the quality of the City’s housing stock.

There was, however, unanimous concern among the Commission about the safety 2 The corresponding ARB Staff Reports can be found on the City’s website here:

concerns associated with a new driveway on Linden Avenue, and a shared preference that the driveway access should be relocated to Dorrance Way. After a lengthy discussion, the Commissioners voted 3-2 (Commissioners Benefield and VanAntwerp opposed) to continue the item with direction to the applicant to revise the project so that the garage would be relocated to the rear of the property with access from Dorrance Way, and that the overall footprint of the residence, as it relates to the front setback, would not substantially be changed.

On June 1, 20263, the project returned to the Planning Commission for continued review. The revised project addressed the Commission’s previous comments by removing and replacing the Linden Avenue-facing driveway and garage with a new detached garage located at the rear of the property and access taken from Dorrance Way via a proposed 15-foot-wide easement over 355 Linden Avenue. The front of the residence remained set back 20-feet from Linden Avenue, now with a living room facing the street instead of a garage. The overall size of the residence was reduced by 346 square-feet with the new detached garage layout, and the number of bedrooms was reduced from five down to four. Although the size of the residence itself was reduced, the total overall square footage of the project increased by 494 square feet due to the newly proposed detached three-car garage. The rear covered porch was eliminated, and replaced with a courtyard between the residence and the detached garage. The revised proposal continued to retain the native sycamore tree in the front yard, and by eliminating the driveway from the Linden Avenue frontage, the palm street tree in front of the property was also able to be saved.

At the June 1st meeting, the Commissioners were generally pleased with the elimination of the driveway from Linden Avenue. Two members of the public spoke with continued concerns about the size of the proposed residence, neighborhood compatibility, and the possibility of the new residence becoming a vacation rental. Despite the shared support for the revised garage and driveway arrangement, the Planning Commissioners continued to have mixed opinions on the project, primarily regarding the size of the proposed residence and neighborhood compatibility. The Commissioners ultimately voted 3-2 (Commissioners Benefield and VanAntwerp opposed) to approve the project as presented.

Additional details concerning the Planning Commission’s review of the project, including copies of the February 2, 2026 and June 1, 2026 PC Staff Reports, Hearing Minutes, and any public comment letters received by the Commission, are provided as Attachment F and Attachment G, respectively.

DISCUSSION
This section provides a summary of the filed appeal, and staff’s responses thereto. 3 The project was scheduled to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their May 4, 2026 meeting, but the applicant requested a continuance to the June 1, 2026 meeting.

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

Pursuant to CMC §14.78.040, the appellant must state specifically in the appeal wherein the decision of the Planning Commission is not in accord with the purposes of the Zoning Code or where it is claimed that there was an error of discretion by the Planning Commission. The appellant included a letter explaining the reasons for the appeal, which included an alleged failure of the Planning Commission to make the legally supported findings and to adequately evaluate the cumulative impact of this project with others in the area.

In the appeal letter, the appellant asserts that the Planning Commission, “failed to make legally-supported findings,” when they approved the project, citing “errors of discretion,” due to the project’s “inconsistency with the general plan, zoning laws, residential guidelines, natural resource and historic city gateway preservation.” The letter then goes on to describe how the proposal does not conform to two of the goals in the Residential Design Guidelines for the Beach Neighborhood, or the Community Design Element, and how the assenting Commissioners were in error. The appellant notes several times that the assenting Commissioners did not give reasons why the proposed project should be approved, but the dissenting Commissioners clearly stated their reasons for not supporting the project. The appellant expressed concerns regarding the size and scale of the proposed residence in relation to the neighborhood and in relation to other recently-approved new homes in the immediate vicinity, and the cumulative impact of projects on adjacent properties that are also owned by the applicants.

However, the appellant’s letter does not include any evidence of how the Planning Commissioner’s decision was inconsistent with the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan or the Zoning Code. Specific objectives and/or policies were not cited to substantiate the appeal, nor were any inconsistencies with the development standards of the zoning code identified. Additionally, the Beach Neighborhood Residential Design Guidelines are not binding regulations. The other recently approved projects in the area, of which none were appealed, were reviewed on their individual merits and do not depend on the other projects for approval or viability.

Staff’s detailed policy consistency analysis provided below and in the Planning Commission’s findings for approval included in Attachment A, Exhibit 1, demonstrate the project’s consistency with the applicable development standards, policies, and findings used to evaluate this project. A table that shows the size of this proposal in relation to other new single-family residences in the Beach Neighborhood that the Planning Commission has recently approved is included as Attachment H. This proposal is the largest of the recent approvals, but the lot is also significantly larger than all but one of the newly approved residences.

The Planning Commission was able to make all of the necessary findings for approval, which in turn means the project was also found to be consistent with all applicable zoning requirements and General Plan/Coastal Plan policies. Further, a city has broad discretion to interpret its ordinances and policies so long as its interpretation is not clearly erroneous (See San Francisco Tomorrow v. City & Cty. of San Francisco (2014)

333 Linden Ave New Residence Appeal
September 14, 2026

228 Cal.App.4th 1239, 1252; City of Walnut Creek v. Cty. of Contra Costa (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 1012, 1021.). A project is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all its aspects, it will further the objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment. State law does not require perfect conformity between a proposed project and the applicable General Plan (San Francisco Tomorrow, 228 Cal.App.4th at 1252.).

With respect to the Commissioners’ reasons to approve or deny a project, it is customary for staff to provide a consistency analysis in the staff report and provide a general overview of that analysis for the decision makers to consider during the hearing.

Often, the ARB and Planning Commission appropriately focus their deliberations on the key aspects or pertinent details of a proposed project, rather than providing a policy-bypolicy accounting of their agreement with staff’s analysis. If there are questions or debate concerning a particular element of a project or the analysis provided by staff, the ARB members or Commissioners discuss it further during the hearing, among themselves and with staff as needed. Ultimately, if the Commission majority is able to make all of the required findings for approval, it necessarily means they have also found the project consistent with all applicable policies and requirements.

In light of the above evidence presented in response to the appeal, and the policy consistency analysis provided below, staff believes that the Commission did not commit an error or abuse of discretion in rendering their decision on the project. Therefore, staff believes that the findings and action of the Planning Commission to approve the project are valid.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The discussion below provides an analysis of the revised project in terms of its compliance with the development standards of Title 14, Zoning, and Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC), and with the objectives and policies of the City’s General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan.

Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC)
CMC Title 14, Zoning
A single-family residence is a permissible use in the PRD-20 district, subject to specific development standards and approval of a Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit by the Planning Commission, or City Council.

As summarized in the above development standard table, the proposed project as currently designed complies with all applicable standards of the PRD-20 zoning district, and is not seeking any modifications or variances from the applicable standards.

Development Plan Approval
In order to approve a Development Plan for the project, the Planning Commission or City Council must make all of the findings for approval provided for in CMC 14.68.030, which are listed below:
a. The proposed development is in conformance with the provisions of the applicable zoning district, Local Coastal Plan and implementation programs, and General Plan.
b. The proposed development is sited and designed to avoid risks to life and property due to geologic, flood, or fire hazards and that the proposed density of development is consistent with these objectives.
c. The proposed development will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. d. The proposed development will not conflict with any recorded easements acquired by the public at large for access through the property or use of the
