Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Ashlea Houston, Management Analyst
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: March 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Donation and Grant Acceptance Policy REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) approving a Donation and Grant Acceptance Policy (Exhibit A to Attachment A) and authorize the City Manager to make administrative updates to the Policy as may be occasionally needed.

BACKGROUND:

The City receives and applies for over ten donations and grants annually from both private and public sources to support capital improvement projects, equipment purchases, beautification efforts, and other City Council priorities and operational needs. A grant is a financial or in-kind award typically received through a formal application process for a specific public purpose and subject to defined terms, conditions, and reporting requirements. A donation is a gift of funds or goods provided to the City by a private donor or organization, generally without the compliance and reporting obligations imposed by a granting agency.

Currently, the City does not have a policy governing the acceptance of donations or grants. While the City’s Purchasing Code authorizes the City Manager to approve purchases up to $60,000 (DMMC Section 7.04.050), all donations and grants, regardless of amount or purpose, require City Council approval. To streamline the process and reduce administrative burden, staff propose establishing an approval threshold consistent with the Purchasing Policy that would authorize the City Manager to approve the application for, acceptance, and use of donations or grants of $60,000 or less, provided certain criteria are met. Staff researched related policies from comparable jurisdictions, including the cities of Coronado, Cupertino, and Chino Hills, to inform the proposed policy included as Exhibit A to Attachment A.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed Donation and Grant Acceptance Policy establishes procedures for City departments to follow when identifying, applying for, accepting, and administering donations and grants. The policy clarifies that no City employee may apply for or accept 1 March 17, 2026 Item 6
City Council Agenda Report
Donation and Grant Acceptance Policy
March 17, 2026

funding without prior authorization from the City Manager, and in some cases, the City Council.

Under the policy, the City Manager would be authorized to approve donations or grants valued at $60,000 or less, provided that the funding supports City Council priorities and/or operational, capital, or special projects, and does not require governing body approval by the granting agency. If all required criteria are met, the City Manager would approve the item administratively and notify the City Council of the funding award at the next regular Council meeting.

City Council approval would continue to be required in cases where a grant or donation exceeds $60,000, does not align with established Council priorities or operational purposes, or when such approval is required by the granting agency. The proposed criteria preserves Council oversight for high-value or policy-level funding decisions while allowing streamlined approval for the acceptance of routine or smaller awards.

Existing administrative practices, including providing an acknowledgment letter to donors for tax documentation purposes and to thank them for their generosity, are also formalized in the proposed policy. Programs governed by separate, Council-adopted policies, such as the Public Furniture Donation Program, will continue to operate under their respective policies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact or action to be taken by the City Council related to this agenda item.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed City Council action does not constitute a “project” under the definition set forth in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not have a potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA. No further action under CEQA is required.

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This is an operational item and is not included in the City Council’s list of Goals & Priorities.

DATE: March 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Informational Summary of Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the San Dieguito Lagoon Levee, Habitat Enhancement, and Trail Project REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council receive this informational report summarizing the findings of the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Draft IS/MND) environmental document prepared by the City’s consultant (Dudek) for the San Dieguito Lagoon Levee, Habitat Enhancement, and Trail Project (San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Project) with the City serving as lead agency in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND:

The San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Project and implementation of State Parks grant funding is a capital improvement/special project included on the City Council work plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The project is being implemented in partnership with the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to efficiently utilize public funds allocated by State Parks to the respective agencies for improvements along the San Dieguito Lagoon. This includes the JPA Grant from State Parks for $1.3 million (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027) and the City’s Grant from State Parks for $500,000 (October 28, 2024 to February 1, 2027).

On June 3, 2024, a 10% preliminary conceptual project design was presented to the City Council after preparation utilizing consultant help and 2023 federal Community Project Funding ($70,000). This initial preliminary concept was utilized to acquire the State Parks grant funding referenced above. Project work was resumed in October 2024, upon issuance of State Park grant funds and is currently in the environmental document review stage. The proposed 30% project design analyzed in the Draft IS/MND, includes trail improvements to meet the needs of the JPA and shoreline protection improvements along the San Dieguito Lagoon consistent with the priorities identified in the 2018 City of Del Mar Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan (e.g., construction of living levee vegetated berms and relocation of public facilities away from flood hazards).
1 March 17, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Draft IS/MND
March 17, 2026

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed project was designed to implement nature-based adaptation strategies and is intended to minimize the risk of future river flooding along both sides of the San Dieguito Lagoon between the San Dieguito Railroad Trestle (North County Transit District bridge) and the Jimmy Durante Boulevard bridge. The project generally includes:
• Flood protection improvements that achieve FEMA’s “no-rise” standard, including living levee vegetated berms and shoreline treatments with some rip rap replacement; • Native vegetation restoration and ecological enhancements that provide space for habitat transition in response to changing climatic conditions; and • Improved public trail access and recreational amenities along both sides of the river.

The project location consists of three distinct subareas within Floodway and Floodplain areas along the shoreline of the San Dieguito Lagoon, as described below:

North Riverbank: Includes proposed improvements within a 100-foot-wide easement imposed by the California Coastal Commission adjacent to the San Dieguito River on California 22nd District Agricultural Association property (Fairgrounds).

The improvements include a levee berm approximately 50-foot wide and 1,500 feet long that slopes up and away from the river to provide flood protection, ecological enhancements, and public access. On top of the berm would be a new 15-foot-wide pedestrian trail that will provide a westerly trail connection between the Fairgrounds and the Coast to Crest Trail east of Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The Fairgrounds property is highly susceptible to flooding due to its existing low elevation. The proposed improvements provide flood protection in a manner that meets the project objective to achieve FEMA’s “no-rise” standard. Anticipated construction timing is approximately eight months.

Southeast Riverbank: Includes proposed improvements on City-owned property approximately 1,030 feet in length, currently developed with the City’s Public Works facility and a segment of the existing Del Mar Riverpath trail between Jimmy Durante Boulevard and the railroad bridge. A portion of the existing public trail would be elevated in place to a width of 10 feet on top of a new 40-foot-wide berm and connecting floodwall to provide continuous flood protection.

This would create a larger public picnic area after removal of the existing Public Works facility from its current non-conforming location in the Floodway and replacement with a new Public Works office structure outside of the Floodway boundary. The existing cement water main would also be removed and replaced with a new water main. The proposed improvements provide flood protection in a manner to achieve FEMA’s “no-rise” standard.

Anticipated construction timing is approximately 11 months. 2 March 17, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Draft IS/MND
March 17, 2026

Southwest Riverbank: This area contains a variety of existing constraints, including a NCTD easement that provides vehicular access for railroad trestle maintenance. This narrow improvement area includes the westerly segment of the existing Del Mar Riverpath trail that is located south of the San Dieguito River, west of the railroad bridge, and is adjacent to the Beach Colony Apartments (private property).

Existing pedestrian and vehicular access would be maintained. A combination of potential drainage and habitat improvements are being considered, including: 1) a floodwall adjacent to the Beach Colony Apartment parking lot; 2) a connecting berm through the wall; 3) a passive tide gate drainage improvement to prevent the backup of floodwater behind the floodwall; and 4) the replacement of a small concrete and non-native vegetation area with upland transitional habitat vegetation.

If pursued, construction is anticipated to occur concurrently with the Southeast Riverbank improvements during an approximately 11-month timeframe.

Summary of Draft Initial Study/MND Findings
A Draft IS/MND has been prepared in accordance with CEQA and will be available for public review and comment from March 18 through April 17, 2026, via the link below:
https://www.delmar.ca.us/Archive.aspx?AMID=57
Following is a summary of the key findings of the Draft IS/MND:

Biological Resources – The project is in an environmentally sensitive location with biological resources associated with the San Dieguito River/Lagoon. A Biological Technical Report was prepared by Dudek to document existing biological resources.

The project is expected to improve wetland function and habitat restoration and was designed to avoid and minimize impacts to sensitive biological resources and wetlands, including four special-status plant species (San Diego marsh-elder, California seablite, estuary seablite, and woolly seablite) and three primary special-status wildlife species (osprey, doublebreasted cormorant, and wandering skipper), as well as additional sensitive resources with moderate or high potential to occur (i.e., Southern California legless lizard, orange-throated whiptail, San Diego desert woodrat, and Crotch’s bumble bee).

Vegetation communities that support these special-status plant species and special-status wildlife species are considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) and are protected by the City’s certified Local Coastal Program. Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts to a less-than-significant level:
1) Require on-site habitat restoration. This involves planting replacement species at a 1:1 re-establishment ratio within in-kind habitat areas (North and Southeast riverbanks) for disturbance to special-status plants. It also requires on-site compensatory mitigation for impacts to aquatic resources. Preparation of a Wetlands 3 March 17, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Draft IS/MND
March 17, 2026

Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) and a 5-year maintenance and monitoring and reporting effort would also be required to facilitate implementation of all required habitat restoration for the project.
2) Require focused pre-construction botanical surveys prior to initiation of construction activities to identify and quantify the populations of special-status plants that are present in the project area. Any observed individuals or populations shall be flagged for salvage and replanting for on-site habitat restoration to the greatest extent feasible. 3) Require pre-construction special-status wildlife surveys prior to initiation of construction activities to identify special-status wildlife present in the project area. If present, the qualified biologist shall safely relocate the species outside the area of project disturbance. If the species cannot be moved, an avoidance buffer around the species shall be flagged. Construction shall not commence inside the avoidance buffer until the species has left the area of project disturbance. 4) Identify all project requirements to avoid impacts to Crotch’s bumble on the construction plans and require a qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction survey prior to initiation of construction activities to implement requirements for protection of the Crotches bumble bee species. This includes consideration of the colony active period between April 1 through August 31, among other requirements. 5) Identify all project requirements to avoid impacts to osprey on the construction plans and require a qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction survey to verify compliance with osprey protection requirements such as consideration of the breeding season (February 1 through September 15) and compliance with a 500-foot avoidance buffer of osprey nests until the nest has fledged.
6) For noise reduction, construction activities that are excessively noisy (e.g., clearing, grading, or grubbing) adjacent to breeding/nesting areas shall be required to incorporate noise reduction measures or curtail such activities during the breeding/nesting season of sensitive bird species. Measures shall also address things such as truck or other engine-powered construction equipment and vehicles, minimization of vehicle exhaust and backup beeper and horn noise, and prohibition of personal noise generating equipment.
7) The project is anticipated to result in a net increase in functions and values within and adjacent to the San Dieguito River. The project will be required to conduct in-water marine surveys to assess potential project impacts to eelgrass within the Impact Area footprints to map eelgrass beds and compile an aquatic species list. Prior to initiation of construction activities, permits/approvals would be required from resource agencies including United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and California Coastal Commission (CCC), and potentially a State Lands Commission 4 March 17, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Draft IS/MND
March 17, 2026

(SLC) lease agreement. Any temporary impacts to wetlands and riparian vegetation would be restored in place at a ratio of 1:1 with additional on-site mitigation at a 3:1 ratio in accordance with a project-specific Wetlands Mitigation and Monitoring Plan.

Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources – The City conducted tribal consultation as required by State law and documented this process in the Draft IS/MND. Letters were mailed to Native American tribes offering consultation. Local tribes did not request consultation but indicated interest in reviewing the project’s environmental document.

Additional notices will be sent to interested tribes for future processing steps related to processing of the MND.

A Cultural Resources Assessment Report was prepared by Dudek to document existing records and resources. An intensive pedestrian survey was conducted by Dudek’s archaeologist with participation from a Kumeyaay Native American Monitor and no significant archaeological cultural resources, sacred lands, or Native American cultural resources were identified. However, important cultural resources (i.e., habitation sites, seasonal habitation campsites, artifact scatters, marine shell scatters, and isolated artifacts recorded in prior reports) have been identified in the surrounding vicinity as disclosed in the Confidential Cultural Resources record on file. In addition, potential effects to six historic-age structures were considered including the City’s Public Works office and five buildings on Fairgrounds property including Bing Crosby Hall, an Exhibit Hall, two Maintenance Buildings, and one Warehouse. The report concludes that no known historic structure, cultural resources, or tribal cultural resources would be affected by the project.

The project would involve demolition of the existing Public Works office structure (approximately 80 years old), which is not historically significant, and replacement with a new structure outside of the Floodway. Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce potential impacts to a less-than-significant level:
1) Implement an archaeological monitoring program, including participation by qualified archaeologists and Kumeyaay Native American monitors, to ensure any discovered resources are appropriately managed.

Noise – The potential effects of construction noise and operational noise on sensitive receptors (i.e., residences in the north beach neighborhood adjacent to the Southwest Riverbank) were evaluated. The Project would include management and control measures to avoid excessive ground vibration during construction activities. In certain circumstances (i.e., tide, weather events, critical construction stage completion) construction activities may occur outside standard construction hours identified in Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter 9.20 (Noise Regulations). Therefore, preparation of a Construction Noise Management Plan would be required to implement best management practices to reduce potential construction noise impacts (i.e., contractor notice to nearby residents).
5 March 17, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Draft IS/MND
March 17, 2026

Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts to a lessthan-significant level:
1) Require construction work to not exceed a one-hour average sound level of 75 Aweighted decibels at any noise-sensitive land use (residential), which may include use of sound control devices, limitations on equipment, or temporary noise barriers between the construction site and sensitive receptors.
2) Require construction equipment to be properly outfitted and maintained with manufacturer-recommended noise reduction devices.
3) Ensure stationary construction source noises (i.e., generators or pumps) are located at least 100 feet from sensitive receptors.
4) Locate construction staging areas as far from noise-sensitive land uses as feasible. 5) Notify residents nearby at least 48 hours in advance of construction activities planned to occur outside of the accepted hours and limit such occurrences. 6) Use silent pile driver or vibrator equipment, and do not use impact hammer equipment.

The remaining environmental factors analyzed in accordance with CEQA were determined to be less-than-significant (or no impact), including: Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forestry Resources; Air Quality; Energy; Geology and Soils; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Mineral Resources; Population and Housing; Public Services; Recreation; Transportation; Utilities and Service Systems; and Wildfire.

The Draft IS/MND identifies a potential for construction overlap with other projects (i.e., Camino del Mar Bridge Replacement project). However, the proposed project and the other projects in the vicinity include similar mitigation measures and compliance requirements that will ensure there is no cumulative impact.

Public comments on the Draft IS/MND must be submitted in writing by the close of the public review period on April 17, 2026, to Amanda Lee, Principal Planner via email to [email protected] or via mail to 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014.

Next Steps
City staff will respond to all submitted comments within the Final IS/MND and continue to coordinate with project partners and key stakeholders. The City and JPA will continue to work with the California 22nd District Agricultural Association (District), North County Transit District, and SANDAG as key stakeholders that own property and/or are proponents of projects in process in the area, including the District’s 2050 Master Plan and NCTD/SANDAG rail-related 6 March 17, 2026 Item 7

projects for which timing is uncertain at this time. The City and consultant team will also continue coordination with California Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission staff.

The Final IS/MND will be presented to the Planning Commission at a noticed public hearing for review and recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will consider adoption of the Final IS/MND at a future noticed public hearing anticipated to occur June 2026. The State Parks grant agreements identify a project goal to obtain resource agency approvals so the project to be construction ready in 2027. The Draft IS/MND anticipates the project construction phase can be completed in approximately 12-18 months, depending on whether the work is phased or done concurrently. Timing for the project may be adjusted to complete the resource agency approval process and account for other projects in the San Dieguito Lagoon area that are simultaneously in process, including the Fairgrounds Master Site Planning process, various SANDAG rail-related projects, and the City’s Camino del Mar Bridge Replacement project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action required by the City Council for this agenda item. The Council will consider appropriation of funding at a future date. In addition to State Parks grant funding currently allocated to the project, the City submitted funding requests totaling $5.5 million to support construction of the project. In February 2026, staff submitted a request for $2.5 million to the California Ocean Protection Council SB 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Grant Program, and a request in March 2026 for $3 million in federal Community Project Funding.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The requested action to receive an informational report is not a project and is exempt from environmental review. A draft IS/MND has been prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City is the lead agency for the project for CEQA compliance and as such is responsible for environmental review, consultation, and other actions required per state law as reflected in the draft MND. The City anticipates processing of federal environmental review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will occur concurrently with USACE permit review process for the project.

HOUSING IMPACT:

There is no impact to housing for this agenda item.

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

Implementation of the project is a Tier 2 City Council priority work plan item for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027.

Karen Brindley, Planning and Community Development Director Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: March 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Initial Consideration of an Appeal of Encroachment Permit (EP) 25-049 EP Appellant and Applicant: Paul Rael
Appellant’s Address: 1612 Stratford Way (APN: 299-280-47-00) REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the denial of Encroachment Permit EP25- 049 (Attachment A) and decline to set the appeal for a de novo hearing.

BACKGROUND:

Stratford Way is a narrow-improved street within the hillside community. The improved road width along the project frontage at 1612 Stratford Way is approximately 16 feet wide, with an unauthorized decomposed granite shoulder installed in the public right-of-way that is approximately 8 feet wide. However, because the north side of Stratford Way adjacent to the property does not restrict parking, the actual road width can be reduced to as little as 8 feet when vehicles are parked on the street.

West of the subject property, street parking is prohibited due to the narrow width and curvature of the street as it loops north and turns into Luneta Drive.

Prior to the redevelopment of the subject site in 2020, the property contained a singlefamily residence with landscaping extending to the edge of pavement, with the driveway access located where the decomposed granite currently exists.

In 2021, Mr. Rael (Applicant) applied for an Encroachment Permit (EP) EP21-066 to install 3-foot by 6-foot concrete pavers over the existing decomposed granite within the public right-of-way, which was denied because it was found to be inconsistent with Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) Section 23.28.040 – Prohibited Encroachments and Section

23.282070 – Findings for Approval.
1 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

On October 3, 2024, Code Enforcement Case CE24-170 was opened after the City received a complaint regarding newly placed gravel along the frontage of 1612 Stratford Way.

Staff determined that the Applicant had not received authorization to install the loose gravel as shown in Attachment B and therefore required its removal. The Applicant was advised to contact the City to obtain an encroachment permit for any improvements in the public right-of-way.

It appears that the Applicant subsequently removed the loose gravel and installed decomposed granite material within the right-of-way without authorization.

On January 8, 2025, the Applicant applied for a Long-term, Minor Encroachment Permit (EP25-006) proposing:
 A new concrete walkway,
 A six-inch concrete curb adjacent to the property fence line,  Grasscrete (concrete squares with grass between them), and  Decomposed granite (DG) improvements within the public right-of-way.

The proposal would improve approximately 8 feet of the public right-of-way along the northern property frontage.

The Applicant indicated the proposed improvements would provide a more durable surface than the existing unauthorized DG. This portion of the right-of-way is primarily used for parking due to the narrow width of Stratford Way.

On February 25, 2025, the City denied EP25-006 because the proposed encroachments would create the appearance that the area within the right-of-way is reserved for private use, which is prohibited by DMMC Section 23.28.080(B)(3).

In addition, staff could not make two of the six findings for approval under DMMC Section

23.28.070(C.1-6), specifically:
 Finding 2 – The proposed encroachments would not unreasonably interfere with the intended use of the City right-of-way; and
 Finding 5 – The proposed encroachments would not be detrimental to the interests of the general public.

Staff advised the Applicant that, due to the narrow width of Stratford Way, asphalt would be the only material likely to be supported for improvements within the right-of-way 2 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

because it would functionally widen the street, which is important due to the existing narrow street width.

On April 24, 2025, the Applicant submitted another Long-term, Minor Encroachment Permit (EP25-049) proposing:
 A mountable concrete curb between the roadway and DG shoulder,  A 6-inch concrete curb adjacent to the property fence line,  Relocation of walkway pavers, and
 Asphalt grasscrete within the DG shoulder (as shown Attachment C).

This proposal was substantially similar to EP25-006, with the addition of the mountable curb and the asphalt grasscrete material.

On January 5, 2026, the City denied EP25-049 after staff again determined that the proposed encroachments are inconsistent with DMMC Section 23.28.040(B)(3), which prohibits encroachments that create the impression that public right-of-way is reserved for private use. Furthermore, staff again could not make Findings 2 and 5 related to interference with the intended use of City right-of-way and potential detriment to the interests of the general public.

The proposed encroachments would modify the existing DG shoulder in a manner that could convey that the area is reserved for private use, potentially discouraging public parking.

A visual timeline is included as Attachment D showing the condition of the property dating back to its redevelopment in 2020.

APPEAL/STAFF RESPONSES:

On January 20, 2026, the Appellant (Paul Rael) filed an appeal with the City Clerk of the denial of EP25-049 (Attachment E). Below are the Appellant’s reasons for appeal (shown in bold text) with staff’s responses (shown in italics):

Appellant Point 1: The design has been revised with additional technical information for consideration. The Appellant and his representatives revised the proposed encroachments with additional information after EP25-049 was denied that staff did not have the benefit of considering prior to denial. The Appellant indicates that the additional information, provided after the denial was issued, depicts how the existing number of informal parking spaces will be the same before and after the improvements and demonstrates how the design allows for public on-street parking. Furthermore, the revised plan provides a 5-foot safety buffer to allow pedestrians a refuge off the paved surface when vehicular traffic passes. In addition, curb and gutter drainage improvements would be built to City standards.
3 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

Staff Response: The City’s practice is to review and make a determination on submitted proposals based on the information provided by the Applicant. Typically, staff will work with applicants to come up with an acceptable solution, however, after the denial of EP25- 006 and throughout the review process of EP25-049, staff indicated that an acceptable solution would be to propose asphalt within the shoulder in the ROW. Throughout a multiyear process, the City considered multiple types of materials proposed by the Applicant and consistently conveyed that the frontage should be improved with asphalt, based on the street design width and the required DMMC findings. This process resulted in two Encroachment Permit denials. The proposed material, asphalt “grasscrete,” would consist of asphalt squares with gravel in between (rather than grass, as the name infers). The City Manager’s decision is final unless appealed. An applicant would need to submit a new application and go through the review process for any new proposals.

Appellant Point 2: The Appellant seeks to improve the parking shoulder section of public right-of-way between the Appellant’s property line and Stratford Way paved roadway. According to the Appellant, this area is comprised of dirt that washes away during rain events and is wide enough to be used as a parking shoulder by neighbors on Stratford Way, an area where on-street parking is limited. The parking shoulder area appears unfinished, and the Appellant proposes to beautify the area at his expense for the benefit of the City.

Mr. Rael is proposing this improvement with a grasscrete base covered in charcoal gray decomposed granite to provide (and continue) the informal on-street parking. The color of the grasscrete and DG will closely match the color of the roadway asphalt, giving the appearance that the parking shoulder is an extension of the street. In addition, the grasscrete and DG solution is permeable which would allow stormwater to percolate into the soil. Moreover, the proposed curb and gutter improvements along the property frontage will match the existing curb-and-gutter design located immediately west of the property. No loss of parking is anticipated, and the parking shoulder can accommodate up to three (3) vehicles, and the proposal maintains the same areas for informal parking.

The concrete paver walkway proposed at the entry provides an entry path to the residence but still allows vehicles to drive over it to park.

Granting the approval of the EP would not convey that the encroached upon area is owned or reserved for private use as an existing fence and landscaping along the property line clearly delineates private property from public right-of-way. The proposed materials and colors provide an informal parking shoulder that do not match the private improvements of the home therefore, not creating an impression that the parking shoulder is or will be used for private property use.

Staff Response: Del Mar has many narrow streets; therefore, when development is proposed including use of the City right-of-way, each site is evaluated carefully for appropriate frontage improvements. This section of Stratford Way has approximately 16 feet of paved roadway that should the City need to widen the street in the future, the 4 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

proposed encroachments would be a limiting factor. Since parking is available on the north side of Stratford Way along the frontage of the property, there is only approximately 8 feet of improved traversable asphalt road width for vehicles if there is a vehicle parked on the street. Emergency vehicle apparatus may be unable to navigate through the area due to the narrow width of the road as shown in Attachment C. Moreover, the City has concerns about potential runoff over time from loose gravel associated with the asphalt grasscrete/DG solution. With vehicles constantly parking over this material, the material may loosen and erode on the street during rain events.

While the concrete pavers for the entryway provide a hardscaped surface that vehicles can drive over, they may give the impression that the area is private property and could reduce available parking space. In addition, the proposed materials incorporate a design element that differs from a clear delineation of public right-of-way (e.g. asphalt) to private property. While the existing fence on the property line may provide a delineation, the fence also acts as a safety barrier between the public traversable space and the grade drop-off on the Appellant’s property as the property itself sits at a lower elevation than the street.

Appeal Point 3: The Del Mar Community Plan description about residential streets.

The Appellant cited an excerpt from the Community Plan describing residential streets as having an informal “country road” character due to the lack of sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and the presence of private landscaping along the edges of pavement. This characteristic is considered by many in the community to be a positive aesthetic feature worthy of preservation. Mr. Rael is providing public improvements that beautify the City’s right-of-way and is aesthetically pleasing, consistent with the Community Plan. The staff recommendation of asphalt material to match with the existing roadway material is not a positive aesthetic feature consistent with the Community Plan.

Staff Response:

While aesthetics is considered and is one of the findings for approval, the City’s practice regarding similar improvements within the right-of-way is to preserve the ability to widen City streets when necessary. The EP was denied on the basis that Findings 2 and 5 of DMMC Section 23.28.070 could not be made because the proposed improvements would potentially interfere with use of the right-of-way should the City widen the street in the future. In addition, the proposed encroachments may be a detriment to the interests of the general public by proposing decorative-like material that is inconsistent with material typically used for public parking. In this specific encroachment scenario, the proposed material may alter the intended use of the right-of-way, potentially deterring public parking and creating a pinch point if vehicles are parked along this street segment.

CONCLUSION:

DMMC Section 23.28.020 defines a Long-term, Minor Encroachment Permit as an improvement designed to have a permanent appearance and intended use for a period 5 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

of 365 days or more, including but not limited to driveway aprons, pathways, walkways, and vegetation.

Pursuant to DMMC Section 23.28.070, there are six required findings to approve a Longterm, Minor Encroachment Permit that generally relate to public safety, intended use of the right-of-way, community character, aesthetics, and conversion of public land for private use. An EP shall only be approved if all six findings can be made.

Finding 1: That the issuance of the EP will not endanger public health, safety or welfare, or the surrounding property.

The proposed encroachments will not endanger public health, safety or welfare, or the surrounding property. The proposed encroachments would improve an area currently comprised of dirt and located within a parking shoulder cutout that is used primarily for vehicle parking.

Finding 2: That the issuance of the EP will not unreasonably interfere with the intended use of a City Right-of-Way or Easement.

Staff cannot make this finding. As the road width of Stratford Way is approximately 16’, the proposed encroachments may deter the public from parking within this shoulder due to the encroachments giving the impression that the shoulder is private property.

Therefore, it could result in a loss of public parking. This would unreasonably interfere with the intended use of a right-of-way.

Finding 3: That the issuance of the EP will not have an adverse impact on the welfare of the community or on the community’s appearance or aesthetics.

The proposed encroachments will not have an adverse impact on the welfare of the community or on the community’s appearance or aesthetics.

Finding 4: That the issuance of the EP will not cause an unnecessary change in the character of the community.

The proposed encroachments would create minor changes to the ROW and will not cause an unnecessary change in the character of the community.

Finding 5: That the issuance of the EP will not be to the detriment of the interests of the general public.

Staff cannot make this finding. The proposed encroachments in the City right-of-way would occur within a wider section of the right-of-way currently used for public parking, which would unnecessarily limit parking in this area. Furthermore, the proposed asphalt 6 March 17, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Appeal of EP25-049 (Initial Consideration)
March 17, 2026

grasscrete material gives the impression that this portion of the public right-of-way is private property. This could deter the use of publicly available parking.

Finding 6: The proposed Encroachment will not convert significant area of public property to private use.

The improved width of Stratford Way is 16 feet, and the Appellant installed DG with rolled curb along the property frontage right-of-way is approximately 8 feet wide. Therefore, the proposed encroachments are only proposing to enhance the existing materials and not further converting significant area of public property to private use.

Based on the information above, staff cannot make two of the six findings and therefore cannot approve EP25-049. As such, staff recommends that the City Council uphold the denial of EP25-049 (Attachment A) and deny setting an appeal for a de novo hearing.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to this agenda item as this is a private development proposal. All fees associated with the appeal were paid for by the Appellant.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed City Council action does not constitute a “project” under the definition set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(a)(1) because it will not have a potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA. No further action under CEQA is required.

Subject: Denial of Encroachment Permit (EP) 25-049 (1612 Stratford Way) A request for authorization to 1) remove the existing concrete walkway pavers and add new concrete walkway pavers to the east of the existing pavers, and 2) install a new concrete curb and asphalt grasscrete material along the property frontage within the public rightof-way.

This letter is to notify you of the denial of your application for Encroachment Permit EP25-049 to utilize the public right-of-way adjacent to 1612 Stratford Way to install concrete pavers, a new concrete curb, and asphalt grasscrete material within the parking shoulder of the public right-ofway along the property’s frontage.

As indicated in the February 25, 2025, denial letter for EP25-006 and in accordance with Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) Section 23.28.040(B)(3) (Prohibited Encroachments), “Any encroachment that would convey an impression or appearance that the encroached upon area is owned by or reserved solely for the private use of the adjacent property with no associated public benefit to the community”, is specifically prohibited.

The proposed encroachments under EP25-049 would be prohibited because the new concrete pavers would create an impression that the walkway is private property by creating a seamless connection between the existing pavers on private property with the proposed pavers in the public right-of-way. In addition, the installation of asphalt grasscrete material with a new mountable concrete curb within the parking shoulder in the public right-of-way creates the impression that the parking shoulder is private property.

In addition, DMMC Section 23.28.070(C.1-6) (Findings for Approval) specifies that an Encroachment Permit may only be approved or conditionally approved if all six findings can be made. For EP25-049, the City cannot make all six findings. Specifically:
• DMMC 23.28.070 (C.2)
The proposed encroachment will not unreasonably interfere with the intended use of a City right-of-way or easement.

The proposed encroachment is in an area dedicated for public parking on Stratford Way.

As the road width of Stratford Way is approximately 16’, the proposed pavers would be Attachment A 8 March 17, 2026 Item 8
EP25-049 (1612 Stratford Way)
Denial Letter
January 5, 2026
installed a few feet east of the existing concrete pavers in the public right-of-way and would result in a loss of public parking on the street. • DMMC 23.28.070 (C.5)
The proposed encroachment will not be a detriment to the interests of the general public.

The proposed pavers would match the existing pavers in the City right-of-way; however, these pavers would encroach in a wider section of the public right-of-way that is used for public parking, which would unnecessarily limit parking in this area. Furthermore, the proposed asphalt grasscrete material gives the impression that the parking shoulder within the public right-of-way is private property. This could deter the use of publicly available parking.

The decision of the Assistant City Manager is final unless a written appeal is filed with the City Clerk’s office ([email protected]), accompanied with a processing fee, within ten (10) working days from the date of notice of the action taken on the application. The appeal is then forwarded to the City Council, which determines at the initial consideration whether to reject the appeal, thereby upholding the Assistant City Manager’s decision, or to set the matter for a subsequent date for a new (de novo) public hearing review.

If you have any questions on this matter, please contact Nestor Machado, Associate Management Analyst at (858) 755-9314 or email [email protected].
