F i r e D e p a r t m e n t O v e r v i e w
2 September 8, 2026 Item 2
Del Mar Fire Department Overview
– Del Mar provides Automatic Aid to San
Diego, Solana Beach, Encinitas and
Rancho Santa Fe. Mutual aid is provided in
San Diego County and throughout the
State of California.
– In 2025 Del Mar provided Aid 743 times,
Del Mar Received Aid 240 times. The
majority of aid out and in were to Solana

F i r e D e p a r t m e n t O v e r v i e w
3 September 8, 2026 Item 2

R e s p o n s e T i m e M a t t e r s
Fire Station Proximity Matters
DEL MAR FIRE DEPARTMENT 03
– The Del Mar Fire Station has existed in Del Mar
since 1957. Was built in 1941 at Camp Cullan
and moved to the present site in 1945.
– Next closest station is Solana Beach, 2.7 miles,
and SDFD Sta 24 in Del Mar Heights 4.5 miles
away in the City of San Diego.
– Having a station in Del Mar is critical to ensuring
the City meets or exceeds standard response
times, which directly affects loss of life and
property.
5 September 8, 2026 Item 2
R e s p o n s e T i m e M a t t e r s
Why Fire Emergency Response Times Matter
– Fire doubles in size every 30–60 seconds.

Minutes decide whether a home is saved and
occupants survive.
– Fire Department service levels reduce
homeowner insurance premiums. An ISO rating
from a 2 to a 9 would increase fire insurance
costs 33% to 50%.
– Fire Damage over 30% = Total Loss and 78% of
businesses relocate.
– Fire Response Times affect conflagration risks
associated with wildland fires.

DEL MAR FIRE DEPARTMENT 02
6 September 8, 2026 Item 2
R e s p o n s e T i m e M a t t e r s
Why Medical Emergency Response Times
Matter
DEL MAR FIRE DEPARTMENT 03
– Cardiac save rates decrease 10% for every min
without CPR intervention.
– Military Study on Trauma demonstrates that
10% to 25% of Trauma Deaths die within the
first 10 mins from unsurvivable catastrophic
trauma. Conversely immediate care within 10
mins increases survivability 85% to 90% for
people that survive that initial trauma (Combat
Casualty Care Research).
7 September 8, 2026 Item 2

T H E T W O F R AM E W O R K S
Two respected yardsticks for the same
question
NFPA 1710
The national standard
– Sets minimum time and
staffing targets for career
departments.
– Fixed thresholds, measured at
the 90th percentile.
– A published bar to measure
every department against.

CPSE / CFAI
The accreditation model
– Audits how you measure and
improve — sets no fixed
numbers.
– Requires a baseline-vsbenchmark gap analysis.
– Targets adjust for local risk
and population density.

Why the 90th percentile beats the average
The average hides the
extremes
6 min
average response
An average of 6 minutes still
means half of all calls took
longer — some reaching 12
minutes or more. Those outliers
are real emergencies.

The 90th percentile tells the
truth
90%
of calls met the target
It states plainly that 9 of every 10
responses met the standard — a
transparent measure of reliability
endorsed by CFAI and built into
NFPA standards.

Changes to Del Mar Fire Severity Zones &
Preparing for State Zone Zero Requirements
– Del Mar’s fire severity zones increased in 2025
from 383 to 853 in very high with a total of 1504
lots in the high and medium zones.
– Resulting in 853 annual inspections by fire
prevention staff annually, as compared to 383 in
prior years.
– Del Mar will house OES Type 6 Engine (Brush
Rig) – Will receive in 45 days
– Staff expect to bring forward Zone Zero
ordinance for City Council consideration in 2027

V e g e t a t i o n F i r e s & H i g h H a z a r d S e v e r i t y Z o n e s Regional Benchmark is to keep the
fire less than 3 acres 90% of the time
Cal Fire State Benchmark is to keep
fires less than 10 acres 90% of the
time.

In order to accomplish this benchmark,
we must be able to have first units arrive
on scene quickly to keep the fire small.

We need Battalion Chiefs to coordinate
Regional Air Resources and response.

SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinances for Implementation of Housing Element Programs 7F, 4A, and 4B Related to Reasonable Accommodations and Special Needs Housing Regulations, including Residential Care, Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing, Low Barrier Navigation Centers, Emergency Shelters, and Adult and Child Day Care Services Consistent with State Law
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Adopt the Ordinance for Zoning Code Amendment ZA26-003 related to Reasonable Accommodations (Attachment A) to repeal DMMC Section 30.86.230 (Reasonable Accommodation), create a new DMMC Chapter 30.94 (Reasonable Accommodations), and amend DMMC Section 23.08.035 (Design Review); and • Adopt the Ordinance for Zoning Code Amendment ZA26-001 and Local Coastal Program Amendment LCPA26-001 (Attachment C) related to Special Needs Housing, including Residential Care, Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing, Low Barrier Navigation Centers, Emergency Shelters, and Adult and Child Day Care Services to amend DMMC Chapter 30.04 (Definitions), Chapter 30.10 (Very Low Density Residential R1-40), Chapter 30.11 (Modified Low Density Residential R1-14), Chapter

30.12 (Low Density Residential R1-10), Chapter 30.13 (Low Density Residential Beach R1-10B), Chapter 30.14 (Medium Density Single-Family Residential R1-5), Chapter 30.15 (Medium Density Single-Family Residential Beach R1-5B), Chapter

Commercial Zone); and DMMC Section 30.75.080 (Coastal Development Permits Issuance); and create a new DMMC Section 30.86.205 (Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing); and Chapter 30.95 (Housing for Special Needs Populations) as necessary to harmonize the DMMC and certified LCP with Fair Housing State laws.

BACKGROUND
On August 25, 2026, the City Council introduced two ordinances (Attachments A and C) to amend the Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) to harmonize existing code language related to reasonable accommodations and special needs housing uses. The preparation of the ordinances was identified as a necessary action in order to fulfil the commitments made in Programs 7F, 4A and 4B of the City Certified 6th Cycle Housing Element.

State law obligates jurisdictions to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) by maintaining consistency with the statutes of Assembly Bill 686 (AB 686, 2018). In order to maintain consistency with State law, the City developed Housing Element policies and programs that promote accessible housing opportunities through actions such as the implementation of annual fair housing trainings, identification of fair housing-related resources for the public, and preparation of local policies and regulations to implement the City Council’s adopted goal to “provide an economically and socially diverse balance of housing options that are affordable for a variety of income levels and housing needs.” The proposed code amendments implement Housing Element Programs 7F, 4A and 4B by clarifying State regulations that apply to various use types that provide housing and services for special needs populations. The code amendments prepared are based largely on framework that was already existing within sections of the DMMC.

In 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 917 to establish procedures for reviewing reasonable accommodation requests. State law requires cities to provide a Reasonable Accommodations process that allows exceptions to development standards when needed to provide equal access for people with disabilities. The framework provided by Ordinance 917 was the basis of the amendments prepared to satisfy Housing Element Program 7F related to Reasonable Accommodations.

In 2003, the City Council adopted Ordinance 758 to establish regulations for community care facilities. State law requires cities to accommodate facilities that serve special needs populations such as children, seniors, and people with physical or mental disabilities. The framework provided by Ordinance 758 was the basis of the amendments prepared to satisfy Housing Element Program 4A related to Special Needs Facilities and Housing.

In 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance 888, identifying the North Commercial (NC) Zone as the zone where emergency shelters may be permitted in accordance with objective development standards that protect nearby uses. State law requires jurisdictions to identify at least one zone where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use and identify mixed use zones where other shelter types may be sited. The framework provided by Ordinance 888 was the basis of the amendments prepared to satisfy Housing Element Program 4B related to Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing, and Supportive Housing. 2 September 8, 2026 Item 6

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed amendments address outdated definitions, clarify the zones and permit process for special needs housing uses, and demonstrate compliance with State law and the certified Housing Element. Following is a summary of the proposed amendments:

The existing reasonable accommodations regulations are being repealed from code sections in Chapter 30.86 Supplemental Regulations and Chapter 23.08 (Design Review) and a new standalone Chapter 30.94 will be created to establish amended regulations for processing reasonable accommodations requests. The amendments clarify the reasonable accommodations application submittal process, standard of review, and appeals procedure.

Property owners seeking reasonable accommodations for themselves or their tenants must submit a written request that includes basic property details and contact information, and an explanation of the requested accommodation and need for the requested accommodation.

The prior procedure that required processing of an Administrative Design Review (ADR) permit, appealable to the Design Review Board, has been replaced at the direction of the City Attorney. Instead, submitted requests are reviewed and processed by the Director of Planning and Community Development and are appealable to the City Council. The standard of review is whether the requested accommodation is able to meet required findings, with or without conditions.

The amended procedures for processing reasonable accommodations requests complies with State law requirements for administrative level review and objective standards. The City’s process balances the need to accommodate people with disabilities and ensure that the proposed accommodation will not cause adverse effects to the property or surrounding areas.

Special Needs Housing
Consistent with Housing Element Programs 4A and 4B, the proposed amendments address residential care facilities, permanent supportive housing, and transitional housing as allowed uses in zones that permit residential development. State law requires these facilities be allowed in residential zones, reviewed against objective standards, and be allowed in accordance with the same permit process as residential uses in the zone where it is proposed to locate. As a coastal city, Del Mar must also comply with the California Coastal Act and its certified LCP. In order to harmonize these State laws, staff reviewed the existing allowed uses in each zone to determine zoning applicability and the appropriate permit process.

The proposed amendments to Chapter 30.04 update and consolidate definitions for special needs housing facilities by replacing existing day care and community care terminology, deleting the definition of Rest Home, adding definitions for Adult and Child Day Care, Residential Care Facility, Emergency Shelter, and Low Barrier Navigation Center, and clarifying Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing. Together, these changes establish four general special needs use types: Adult and Child Day Care, which provides nonresidential care and supervision for children and adults; Residential Care Facility, which provides residential placement and varying levels of care for at-need children, people with disabilities, and adults requiring medical assistance; Supportive Housing, which provides 3 September 8, 2026 Item 6

Special Needs Housing Code Amendments

permanent housing with supportive services; and Transitional Housing, which provides shortterm housing and social services to help residents transition to long-term housing, consistent with State law.

State law distinguishes between Small and Large for these use types based on the number of occupants (six or fewer, seven or more) permitted within the facility as larger facilities may not be compatible with the density and objective standards of the underlying residential zone.

State law requires Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing as permitted uses in any zone in which residential uses are allowed and can only be subject to the same regulatory standards and review processes applicable to other residential uses allowed in the same zone in which they are proposed and located. While the definitions were updated, there will be no change in the manner supportive housing and transitional housing are regulated.

The City’s existing code allows “Community Care Facilities, Small” in residential zones. As defined within State law, the Community Care Facilities use type is inclusive of the proposed use categories for small Adult and Child Day Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities, Supportive Housing, and Transitional Housing. The City’s regulations as amended will replace the term “Community Care Facility” with the individual community care uses listed above and will continue to allow these uses in residential zones subject to compliance with State licensing and objective standards.

The following table illustrates the proposed levels of permitting for special needs facilities:

1. Requires processing of an Administrative Coastal Development Permit in accordance with Chapter

30.75 if the proposed development does not qualify for a permit exemption in accordance with Section 30.75.200.

2. Uses permitted as a conditional use require review and processing of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 30.74 and a Coastal Development Permit in accordance with Chapter

30.75 for consideration of the context, size, location, and potential demands on public facilities for the proposed increase in use intensity to ensure consistency with the Local Coastal Program.

3. Supportive Housing (Permanent) and Transitional Housing, as defined in this Title, are permitted uses in any zone in which residential uses are allowed and shall be subject to the same regulatory standards and review processes applicable to other residential uses allowed in the same zone in which they are proposed and located.

The applicable standards and regulations for special needs housing will be codified in Chapter

30.95 (Housing for Special Needs Populations). This new chapter consolidates the applicable definitions, identifies the applicable permit process for each use type, and establishes objective standards that submitted development applications will be reviewed against.

Emergency Shelters and Low Barrier Navigation Centers
State law mandates local jurisdictions process applications for an emergency shelter or low barrier navigation center through a by-right process. In addition to amending existing definitions, minor changes were incorporated in consultation with the City Attorney to maintain local control within the parameters of State law. Amendments include the addition of a preemption statement to DMMC Section 30.24.035(B) addressing State and Federal laws; clarification of the permit type required to process an emergency shelter or low barrier navigation center application; removal of provision that would let the approved permit run with the land (instead of being tied to the operator as proposed); and minor, non-substantive corrections. As established by the 2013 Ordinance, the NC Zone will remain the only zone in Del Mar where an emergency shelter may be permitted.

Low barrier navigation centers, while similar to emergency shelters, are operationally distinct and have different permitting requirements under State law. The State requires cities permit low barrier navigation centers as an allowed use in any zone that permits mixed use or multifamily development as an allowed use. Therefore, low barrier navigation centers must be permitted in the NC zone, Professional Commercial (PC) zone, and Central Commercial (CC) zone as an allowed use subject to compliance with the objective standards in DMMC Section 30.95.050. The purpose of these objective standards is to ensure that development and operation of a low barrier navigation center will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding area and that occupants are processed and treated in accordance with applicable Federal and State laws.

The full set of amendments for all sections is available for public review on the City’s website at: https://www.delmar.ca.us/958/Special-Needs-Housing-Emergency-Shelters FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action to be taken by the City Council related to this agenda item. Grant funding was awarded to the City through State funds issued through SANDAG’s Housing Acceleration Program (HAP) Grant to cover all costs incurred related to work completed by the August 31, 2026 grant deadline.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed amendments are consistent with the analysis prepared for the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The PEIR and associated Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program was certified by the City Council on October 5, 2020 (State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2020029064). The Final PEIR is available online at: http://www.delmar.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/7171/Final-PEIR-91020 The proposed amendments will not result in any new significant effects on the environment or increase in the severity of effects on the environment as analyzed in the Final PEIR. This determination is consistent with the statutes of Section 15162 of the California Public Resources Code.

HOUSING IMPACT:

The proposed amendments address a range of housing types to serve special-needs populations and will not result in any loss of housing production. The amendments are consistent with the City’s State-certified 6th Cycle Housing Element and State-certified Local Coastal Program and will bring the DMMC into alignment with recent amendments to State housing law.

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

The preparation of amendments to complete Housing Element Programs 7F, 4A, and 4B are a Tier 1 priority for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Del Mar hereby ordains as follows:

SECTION ONE: That Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter 30.86 (Supplemental Regulations) is amended to repeal the prior regulations for Reasonable Accommodation in Section

30.86.230.

SECTION TWO: That a new Chapter 30.94 - “Reasonable Accommodations” shall be created to read as follows:

30.94.010 – Purpose
The City of Del Mar has standard procedures to accept requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities in all areas including but not limited to land use, zoning and building policies and regulations. It is the intent of the City of Del Mar, and consistent with Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, American Disabilities Act, California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and related statutes to provide disabled individuals reasonable accommodation by providing alternative compliance procedures to existing ordinances or policies to ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities to public spaces, non-residential spaces, and housing.

Page 3 of 9 ends

practices or procedures that will further the City’s compliance with Federal and State fair housing laws and provide greater opportunities for the development of critically needed housing for individuals with disabilities. Information for processing other reasonable accommodation requests is posted at City Hall, published on the City website, on file with the City Clerk, and available upon request.

30.94.020 – Applicability
As used by this Chapter, “reasonable accommodations” relates to the process to accept requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities in all areas including but not limited to land use, zoning and building policies and regulations, and other methods of accommodation to accommodate accessible features without overly burdensome regulatory barriers. This could entail granting the developer some form of regulatory relief in the areas of land use or zoning regulations. An example includes allowing housing developers, who provide housing for people with disabilities, flexibility in the application of land use, zoning, or building regulations, policies, practices or procedures. Each circumstance is likely to be unique and as such each request for accommodation will be based on a case-by-case basis when an individual or housing developer request a City wavier to certain zoning, land use, or building codes. The developer of a housing project first has the burden of objectively demonstrating that there is a need to eliminate barriers to public access and fair housing opportunities by adjustments made to the City’s land use, zoning, or building requirements.

In the case of individual accommodation needs, where the individual has a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone with a record of such impairment may make a request for accommodations. A request for reasonable accommodation may be submitted by any individual with a disability, his or her legal representative, a non-residential property owner or other provider of non-residential uses, or other provider of housing for individuals with disabilities, when the application of a specific land use, zoning or building regulation, policy, practice, or procedure is objectively demonstrated to act as a barrier to public access, employment opportunities, or fair housing opportunities. A request for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by Section 30.94.040.

30.94.030 – Notice to the Public of Availability of Accommodation Process The Notice of the availability of reasonable accommodation is posted at City Hall in a conspicuous and publicly accessible location. This general notice advises the public of the availability of the procedure for eligible individuals or developers. Forms for requesting reasonable accommodation are available to the public at City Hall and also on the City website. City staff will work cooperatively with the applicant to help explain the accommodation process and assist, as needed, with any requests for alternative compliance to reasonably meet the submittal documentation required by Section

30.94.040.

Page 6 of 9 ends

B. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual with disabilities protected under the fair housing and employment laws;
C. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would impose an undue financial or a significant administrative burden on the City; D. Whether the requested accommodation will require a major alteration from standard practices and implementation of a City program or law, including, the City’s land use, zoning, or building code; and
E. Whether other alternative reasonable accommodations methods provide an equivalent level of benefit to the disabled person.

C. The written decision of the Reviewing Authority shall be final unless the applicant timely appeals the decision to the City Council, which shall be the final authority of the Director’s decision. The City Council’s decision on the appeal shall be the final City action.

D. Should the Reviewing Authority fail to render a written decision on the request for reasonable accommodation within the thirty (30) calendar days time, the request may be deemed granted upon written notice from the applicant to the Reviewing Authority, unless circumstances dictate otherwise and in accordance with Section

30.94.050.

E. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, including an appeal, all ordinances or regulations not subject to the accommodation request shall continue to be enforceable.

30.94.090 – Appeals
A determination to grant or deny a request for reasonable accommodation may be appealed within ten (10) days and in compliance with Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter

1.12. An appeal on an application for reasonable accommodation shall be exempt from the Initial Consideration process in Section 1.12.040. Such actions shall be heard by the City Council as a public hearing pursuant to Section 1.12.050. 13 September 8, 2026 Item 6

Reasonable Accommodations Amendments – Strikeout/Underline Following is a strikeout/underline copy of the proposed amendments (ZA26-003) to repeal the existing Reasonable Accommodations regulations currently published in Chapter 30.86 (Supplemental Regulations) and Chapter 23.08 (Design Review) and publish the proposed Reasonable Accommodations regulations in a new Chapter 30.94.

Chapter 30.86 SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS

30.86.230 - Reasonable Accommodation.

A. Purpose. It is the policy of the City of Del Mar to provide reasonable accommodation in regulations and procedures to ensure equal access to persons with disabilities to housing or commercial or industrial facilities and to facilitate the development of housing for persons with disabilities. This Section is based on requirements of Federal and State housing laws, including the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, the Federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and implements the Housing Element of the City's General Plan. The purpose of this Section is to provide a procedure under which a person with disabilities, or a property owner of commercial or industrial uses, may request a reasonable accommodation in the application of zoning regulations in order to secure equal access to housing or commercial or industrial facilities, and outlines a process for decision makers to act upon such requests. This Section is intended for all uses, and within all zoning designations, and is distinct from the requirements for a variance.

The City also recognizes the importance of sustaining and enhancing the community, as articulated in the City's Community Plan, and will consider whether the requested reasonable accommodation would result in an undue burden to the City or a fundamental alteration of City policies.

B. Definitions.

Person with Disabilities and Reasonable Accommodation shall have the same meaning as those stated in Chapter 30.04 (Definitions).

C. Applicability. The provisions of this Section apply to all uses that will be used by a person with disabilities. In order to make housing and commercial or industrial facilities accessible to a person with disabilities, any person may request a reasonable accommodation, or exception to the City's Zoning Code regulations, in accordance with this Section.

D. Application and Review Procedure.

1. Applicant. Any person who requests reasonable accommodation, based on the disability of residents or users, in the application of a land use or zoning law which may be acting as a barrier to fair housing and access opportunities, 17 September 8, 2026 Item 6
Attachment B

Page 2 ends

may submit an application. The applicant may be the person with the disability, or his or her representative, or a developer of housing or commercial or industrial facilities for the purpose of accommodating persons with disabilities.

2. Application. An Administrative Design Review (ADR) application shall be filed with the Planning and Community Development Director, or his or her designee. In addition to completion of the ADR application, the applicant shall include:
a. Basis for the claim, such as a medical certification, that the person on whose behalf the accommodation is sought is disabled; or b. Explanation of why the reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific housing or commercial facility accessible to the person with disabilities.
c. Other relevant information as requested by the Planning and Community Development Director, or his or her designee, in order to make the required findings.

3. The application noticing shall be consistent with Subsection 23.08.035.B. (Administrative Design Review) of the DMMC.

4. Findings. Any decision on an application under this Section shall be supported by written findings addressing the criteria set forth below. An application under this Chapter for a reasonable accommodation shall be granted if all of the following findings are made:
a. The housing or commercial facility, which is the subject of the request, will be used or occupied by a person with disabilities. b. Due to the physical attributes of the subject property or the structures on-site, the requested reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific housing or commercial facility accessible to a person with disabilities under the Federal Fair Housing Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
c. The requested reasonable accommodation would not create an undue financial or administrative burden for the City.
d. The requested reasonable accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration in City's land use and zoning ordinances, programs or policies. In making this finding, the decision-making 18 September 8, 2026 Item 6
Attachment B

Page 3 ends

body may consider, but its consideration is not limited to, the following factors:
i. Whether the proposed changes to the subject property and structures, would adversely impact the health, safety or use of adjacent properties or the City right-of-way.
ii. Whether any reasonable alternatives have been identified that would provide an equivalent level of benefit without requiring a reasonable accommodation or exception to the City's applicable rules, standards and practices.

5. Conditions of Approval. In granting a request for reasonable accommodation, the reviewing authority may impose conditions to ensure that the reasonable accommodation complies with the findings required by this Chapter.

Conditions may also be imposed to ensure that any removable structures or physical design features that are constructed or installed in association with the reasonable accommodation be removed once those structures or physical design features are no longer necessary in order to accommodate a person with disabilities. The reviewing authority may require the recordation of the conditions of approval, or its equivalent.

6. Determination. A determination timeframe on the application request shall be made consistent with Subsections 23.08.035.B., C., and D. (Administrative Design Review) of the DMMC.

7. Appeals. The appeal process shall be made consistent with Subsections

23.08.035.B., C., and D. (Administrative Design Review) of the DMMC.

Chapter 30.94 REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS

30.94.010 – Purpose.

The City of Del Mar has standard procedures in place to accept requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities in all areas including but not limited to land use, zoning and building policies and regulations. It is the intent of the City of Del Mar, and consistent with Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, American Disabilities Act, California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and related statutes to provide disabled individuals reasonable accommodation by providing alternative compliance procedures to existing ordinances or policies to ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities to public spaces, non-residential spaces, and housing.

This Chapter establishes procedures for making requests for reasonable accommodation and identifies local practices and procedures to comply with the purpose and intent of State and Federal laws, including but not limited to fair housing laws. It provides a reasonable accommodation procedure for individuals with disabilities and housing developers who seek to provide housing for individuals with disabilities by granting relief in the application of land use, zoning and building regulations, related policies, and the practices or procedures that will further the City’s compliance with Federal and State fair housing laws and provide greater opportunities for the development of critically needed housing for individuals with disabilities. Information for processing other reasonable accommodation requests is posted at City Hall, published on the City website, on file with the City Clerk, and available upon request.

30.94.020 – Applicability.

As used by this Chapter, “reasonable accommodations” relates to the process to accept requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities in all areas including but not limited to land use, zoning and building policies and regulations, and other methods of accommodation to accommodate accessible features without overly burdensome regulatory barriers. This could entail granting the developer some form of regulatory relief in the areas of land use or zoning regulations. An example includes allowing housing developers, who provide housing for people with disabilities, flexibility in the application of land use, zoning, or building regulations, policies, practices or 20 September 8, 2026 Item 6

procedures. Each circumstance is likely to be unique and as such each request for accommodation will be based on a case-by-case basis when an individual or housing developer request a City wavier to certain zoning, land use, or building codes. The developer of a housing project first has the burden of objectively demonstrating that there is a need to eliminate barriers to public access and fair housing opportunities.

In the case of individual accommodation needs, where the individual has a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone with a record of such impairment. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any individual with a disability, his or her legal representative, a non-residential property owner or other provider of non-residential uses, or other provider of housing for individuals with disabilities, when the application of a specific land use, zoning or building regulation, policy, practice, or procedure is objectively demonstrated to act as a barrier to public access, employment opportunities, or fair housing opportunities. A request for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by Section 30.94.040.

30.94.030 – Notice to the Public of Availability of Accommodation Process.

The Notice of the availability of reasonable accommodation is posted at City Hall in a conspicuous and publicly accessible location. This general notice advises the public of the availability of the procedure for eligible individuals or developers. Forms for requesting reasonable accommodation are available to the public at City Hall and also on the City website. City staff will work cooperatively with the applicant to help explain the accommodation process and assist, as needed, with any requests for alternative compliance to reasonably meet the submittal documentation required by Section

30.94.040.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Martin Boyd, Principal Engineer
Polly Robertson, Management Analyst
Joe Bride, Public Works Director
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Task Order Amendment with NOVA Services, Inc. for the Jimmy Durante Boulevard Bluff Stabilization Project
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Approve a $25,343 Task Order Amendment (Attachment A) with NOVA Services, Inc. for extended geotechnical services and laboratory testing; 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Task Order Amendment and any subsequent amendments within the project contingency necessary to complete the work; 3) Approve a $20,000 increase to the project contingency; and 4) Amend the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Operating and Capital Budget as described in the Fiscal Impact section below.

BACKGROUND:

On April 21, 2019, a significant bluff failure occurred between Jimmy Durante Boulevard (JDB) and 1970 Seaview Avenue resulting in earthen debris covering the eastern sidewalk and roadway. The City Council approved an emergency response contract to stabilize the bluff by constructing a temporary retaining structure with 50-foot steel beams and timber lagging to prevent future failures. After the temporary retaining structure was complete, JDB re-opened on May 29, 2019.

Since then, the private property located just above the failure at 1970 Seaview Avenue has been redeveloped and regraded, incorporating a series of retaining walls and landscaping that reduced earthen loading on the City property below. The City’s consultants subsequently performed survey mapping of the new topographic conditions and a geotechnical stability analysis of the City property and the three upslope properties at 1956, 1970, and 1974 Seaview Avenue.

Results of the geotechnical stability analysis determined that the existing retaining structure provides an adequate stability factor of safety for the City property west of 1974 and 1970 Seaview Avenue. To proactively provide an adequate factor of safety for the City property west of 1956 Seaview Avenue, the structure should be extended 45 feet to the south. 1 September 8, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
Task Order Amendment with NOVA for the JDB Bluff Stabilization Project September 8, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

On November 17, 2025, City Council awarded a $772,192 construction contract to New Century Construction, Inc. for the JDB Bluff Stabilization Project, a $32,964 Task Order to NOVA Services, Inc. for Geotechnical Services and Laboratory Testing, and other related task orders. The Project included the extension of a retaining structure on a steep slope adjoining JDB north of Camino del Mar (CDM) and re-construction of drainage facilities along JDB.

Construction has been underway since January 2026. Utility coordination requirements and challenging field conditions have extended the schedule from May to September 2026.

As the project progressed, staff discovered that the existing San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) high-capacity power lines were too close to the construction contractor’s heavy equipment. To mitigate this safety issue, the City coordinated with SDG&E on an overhead power line outage. However, SDG&E subsequently required the power lines to be temporarily undergrounded, which was not anticipated. On April 7, 2026, the City Council approved payment to SDG&E to perform their work associated with the outage to ensure the project complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements.

The schedule has also been extended by requirements that the contractor suspend road closures and related construction activities on JDB on Thursdays and Fridays during the San Diego County Fair (June 10 to July 5, 2026) and on Fridays during the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club horse racing season (July 17 to September 7, 2026).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The challenges and the associated extended schedule required NOVA to provide additional geotechnical services and laboratory testing beyond what was initially anticipated. This included review and analyses related to the construction of a temporary access road for installing the shear pins. The task order is structured for as-needed services, and NOVA bills the City only for services performed. These geotechnical services are critical to the project’s bluff stabilization work. To complete those additional services, staff recommends that the City Council approve the $25,343 Task Order Amendment with NOVA Services (Attachment A).

Furthermore, staff recommends that the City Council approve a $75,000 budget amendment, to account for the NOVA Task Order Amendment as recommended in this report; traffic flagging that occurred during the fair and horse racing season on Camino Del Mar at the 22nd and 27th Street intersections; irrigation water meter fees for establishing a new connection; an anticipated task order amendment with Ardurra for extended construction management services; and allowing for some remaining project contingency for any construction change orders and unanticipated project-related costs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Council approval of the recommended action will result in an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Operating and Capital Budget to allocate $75,000 from the General Fund as shown below:

City Council Agenda Report

Page 3 of 3 ends

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guideline Section 15301(d)-Class 1 (Existing Facilities) exempts projects involving the “operation, repair, maintenance...or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” Examples include existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities; and restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged facilities to meet current standards of public health and safety.

Section 15304(b)-Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land), also applies as the areas disturbed by the proposed improvements would be restored with hydroseed to minimize erosion and planted with a variety of drought-tolerant landscaping. This project proposes extending the existing wall approximately 45 feet to the south, utilizing a similar soldier pile wall configuration and would require minor grading along the slope to accommodate the wall extension as proposed. After the wall extension is constructed, drought-tolerant native species would be installed as landscaping along the slope below the wall to reduce visibility of the wall and to visually blend the improvements into the existing setting. None of the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines §15300.2 apply to the project and no unusual circumstances are present that could lead to a significant environmental effect.

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

The Jimmy Durante Boulevard Bluff Stabilization Project is a Tier 1 City Council priority project for FY 2026-2027.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Martin Boyd, Principal Engineer
Polly Robertson, Management Analyst
Joe Bride, Public Works Director
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Task Order Amendment with Utility Specialists Southwest, Inc. for Stratford Court North (1B) Utility Undergrounding District
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Approve a $60,200 Task Order Amendment (Attachment A) with Utility Specialists Southwest, Inc. for extended design services; 2) Approve a $50,000 contingency; and 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Task Order Amendment and any subsequent amendments within the contingency necessary to complete the work.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Del Mar continues to implement the citywide Undergrounding Program (UP), which removes utility poles and replaces overhead cables for electricity and telecommunications with underground lines. On October 16, 2023, the City Council authorized the formation of Utility Undergrounding District (UUD) 1B, also referred to as “Stratford Court North”. Stratford Court North includes 36 poles and 3,825 linear feet of overhead conversion involving 152 properties and 114 residences. Fifty of those properties will need to underground their private service laterals at the property owner’s expense. City Council also authorized a $439,747 Task Order with Utility Specialists to proceed with preconstruction services for Stratford Court North. The pre-construction services include City and agency coordination, district design, resident interface and project status tracking, and public bidding support.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Stratford Court North project is currently in the design phase. The 60% SDG&E design for Stratford Court North underwent formal review by staff and the consultant team in 2025.

The final 60% design is anticipated this month pending SDG&E revisions. Additional coordination was required as SDG&E revisited portions of the design following SDG&E’s internal senior design review. This has resulted in an approximately six-month extension to the design schedule and will require additional coordination, design review, and civil 1 September 8, 2026 Item 8
City Council Agenda Report
Task Order Amendment with Utility Specialists for Stratford Court North (1B) UUD September 8, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

improvement plan revisions from Utility Specialists. Completion of upcoming preconstruction and bidding activities following the final 60% SDG&E design will cumulatively take approximately eight to twelve months.

To progress the design for Stratford Court North and cover the additional work required, staff recommends that the City Council approve the $60,200 Task Order Amendment with Utility Specialists (Attachment A) and an additional $50,000 contingency. The amendment is needed for Utility Specialists to continue the design, finalize the bid documents, and provide bidding support associated with SDG&E’s revisions and the extended schedule. The $50,000 contingency represents 10% of the revised task order and is recommended in case another task order amendment is needed to complete the work because of further schedule impacts or design changes made by the utility companies through completion of the design, currently anticipated within eight to twelve months. The contingency may not be fully used. Any unused funds will be applied to other aspects of the project or returned to Measure Q.

As presented to the City Council on September 22, 2025, the total project cost for Stratford Court North is estimated at $4.77 million in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 dollars. The Task Order Amendment will raise the total to $499,947 which is approximately 10% of the estimated project cost and is considered industry standard for preconstruction activities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no additional fiscal action required by the City Council for this agenda item. Sufficient funds for the identified work and contingency totaling $110,000 are available in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Budget.

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:

Utility Undergrounding is listed as a Tier 1 City Council priority for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Denise Galvan, Management Analyst
Sarah Krietor, Administrative Services Manager/City Clerk Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Biennial Review and Update of the Del Mar Conflict of Interest Code REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive this report and adopt the Resolution (Attachment A) incorporating revisions to the Del Mar Conflict of Interest Code (Exhibit A to Attachment A) to reflect changes in staff positions.

BACKGROUND:

The Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code Sections 81000 et seq., "Act" herein) requires each local agency to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code. The Code designates City public officials involved in City decisions to disclose certain financial interests that could foreseeably be affected, in a material manner, by City decisions made by the officials in the performance of their job responsibilities. The Political Reform Act also requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code biennially.

Pursuant to Government Code 87306.5, on or before October 1 of each even-numbered year, City staff is required to review the Conflict of Interest Code and submit a written report to the City Council indicating whether the City’s Conflict of Interest Code is accurate or needs amendment. The City Council originally adopted the current Code in 2018 and has amended the code biennially since. Most recently, on June 3, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution 2024-22 amending the City of Del Mar Conflict of Interest Code.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Government Code 87306.5, staff has reviewed the Del Mar Conflict of Interest Code in accordance with guidelines provided by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and is proposing that the City Council consider some amendments to the code.

The following provides a summary of the proposed changes, which are also shown in the redline Conflict of Interest Code included in this report as Attachment B:

INTRODUCTION
The Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code Sections 81000 et seq., "Act" herein), requires the City to adopt and promulgate a Conflict of Interest Code ("Code" herein). The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation, 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730, which contains the terms of a standard model Conflict of Interest Code, and amendments thereto by the Fair Political Practices Commission in accordance with the Act.

Nothing in this Code is intended to modify or abridge the provisions of the Act commencing with Government Code Section 87100, which is applicable to all public officials of the City and directs that no public official of the City shall make, participate in the making, or in any way attempt to use their official position to influence a City decision in which the official knows, or has reason to know, that he or she has a financial interest as defined by the Act.

Nothing in this Code is intended to modify or abridge the provisions of the Act commencing at Government Code Section 87200, which requires the Mayor, members of the City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer, and members of the Planning Commission to file a financial disclosure statement using the Fair Political Practices Commission Statement of Economic Interests (herein referred to as "Form 700").

This Code designates those public officials of the City who are involved in City decisions, and to require designated officials to disclose those financial interests (using Form 700) which could foreseeably be affected, in a material manner, by a City decision made by the official in the performance of the official's responsibilities.

AMENDMENT OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
Certain changes in circumstances require amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code.

Changed circumstances include, but not are limited to, the following: the creation of new positions which must be designated pursuant to this Code and relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions. [Government Code Sec. 87306, Subdivision (a)] Within 90 days after the changed circumstances necessitating the amendment to this Code become apparent, the City Manager, or their designee, shall submit a proposed amendment to the City Council. [Government Code Sec. 87306, Subdivision (a)] The Code shall be amended by resolution of the City Council.

REVIEW OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
No later than July 1 of each even-numbered year, the City Manager, or their designee, shall review the Code [Government Code Sec. 87306.5, Subdivision (a)]. If a change in the Code is necessitated by changed circumstances, it shall be amended by resolution of the City Council.

If no change in this Code is required, the City Manager or their designee, shall submit a written statement to that effect to the City Council no later than October 1 of the same year [Government Code Sec. 87306.5, Subdivision (b)].

Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable City Councilmembers
FROM: Mayor Tracy Martinez and Deputy Mayor/Lagoon Committee Liaison John Spelich Prepared by Denise Galvan, Management Analyst
DATE: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Lagoon Committee Appointment
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council Liaison to the Lagoon Committee and Mayor recommend that the City Council appoint Karen Lare as a voting member to the Lagoon Committee to serve a full three-year term effective November 1, 2026, and ending on November 30, 2029.

BACKGROUND:

The Lagoon Committee (Committee) is charged with monitoring the preservation and enhancement of the portions of the San Dieguito and Penasquitos Lagoons located in the City of Del Mar, and also any actions outside the City of Del Mar that impact the lagoon systems within the City of Del Mar.

The Committee participates on both local and regional levels. Regionally, the Committee monitors the on-going programs of the San Dieguito River Valley Joint Powers Authority (JPA), including but not limited to the lagoon restoration plan, and monitors development that may have an effect on the San Dieguito or Penasquitos Lagoons. Locally, the Committee monitors reports on the health of the lagoons, investigates additional public access opportunities, and encourages educational and informational programs to uncover the lagoons’ little-known points of interest.

The Committee also monitors and comments, when appropriate, on developments limited to impacts on the lagoons. The Committee consists of five voting members, all being Del Mar residents.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

There is currently one vacancy on the Committee due to the term expiration of Jeffrey Barnouw on July 31, 2026. City staff advertised the vacancy for an extended recruitment period, and one Citizen Interest Form was received from Karen Lare (Attachment A).

Karen Lare has previously served two consecutive terms on the Lagoon Committee, with her second term expiring on October 31, 2025. Per Council Policy 200, Section E.2, former committee members must wait one year from the expiration of their second consecutive term before being appointed to the same committee. Therefore, Karen Lare is eligible to be appointed to the Lagoon Committee no sooner than November 1, 2026.

Pursuant to Council Policy 200 “Committees – City Council Advisory Committees, Boards and Commissions” (Attachment B), Section B.6, when there is only one Council liaison to an advisory 1 September 8, 2026 Item 10
