CITY OF GROVER BEACH

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCT AND DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS (Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-44, adopted 04-16-07, revised 02-18-2020) The City Council and staff welcomes and encourages civic participation and debate on issues. The Council values the public’s opinion and in every Council meeting invite and encourages the public to address the Council on any matter of interest. The Council adopted these policies and procedures for appropriate conduct and decorum at Council meetings and establish guidance for public participation during Council meetings.

These policies will foster and provide greater clarity to preserve the intent of open government and maintain a positive environment for public input and City Council decision-making.

1.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – IN GENERAL

1.1 The presiding officer is responsible for the maintenance of order and decorum at all times.

1.2 The presiding officer shall determine all points of order subject to the right of any Council member to appeal to the City Council by majority vote. If any appeal is taken, the question shall be “Shall the decision of the presiding officer be sustained” in which event a majority vote of the Council shall govern and conclusively determine such question of order.

1.3 All Council members, staff members and members of the public should speak respectfully and avoid the use of profanity, vulgarity and slanderous comments. Recognizing that the First Amendment precludes the City Council form prohibiting speakers from speaking based upon the content of their speech, the presiding officer shall use their best efforts, short of enforcement action, to remind and encourage all participating in the meeting to keep their speech respectful towards others and within bounds appropriate for children and persons of sensitivity toward course language as a courtesy to others present or otherwise viewing Council meetings.

2.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – COUNCIL MEMBERS

2.1 Manner of Speaking.

Any Council member desiring to speak shall first address the presiding officer. Upon recognition by the presiding officer, the Council member shall speak only to the question under debate.

2.1(a) Questioning Staff.

A Council member desiring to question the staff should address his question to the City Manager, or, in appropriate cases, the City Clerk or City Attorney, who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry or to designate some staff member for that purpose. Such a designation may be made at the time of any staff presentation or on the agenda listing for the item.

2.1(b) Interruptions.

Once recognized, a Council member shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer; unless a point of order is raised by another Council member, or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another Council member.

3.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – STAFF

3.1 City Manager Responsibilities
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring that members of the administrative staff observe the rules of decorum and order set forth in this Policy.

3.2 Addressing the City Council
Any administrative staff member desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member or member of the public. Administrative staff members shall accord the utmost courtesy to the City Council, other administrative staff members and the public.

4.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

4.1 Addressing the City Council
Any member of the public desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer at the appropriate place on the agenda. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member, City Manager, City Attorney or member of the administrative staff or member of the public.

4.2 Time Limitation for Addressing the City Council
Public comment when addressing the City Council shall be generally limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. Depending on the extent of the agenda and the number of persons desiring to speak on an issue, the presiding officer may, at the beginning of the hearing, set a different time limit for each speaker. Any person may speak for a longer period of time upon approval from the presiding officer, when deemed necessary, for instance when a person is speaking on behalf of a group or has a graphic or slide presentation requiring more time.

4.3 Failure to Yield, Disruptions
Any person who refuses to relinquish the floor after their allotted time or while attending the City Council meeting engages in conduct or speech which disrupts the business of the meeting shall be brought to order and/or removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the presiding officer.

Disruptive remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, clapping, whistles, yells and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the presiding officer who may direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove such offenders from the room.

4.4 Prosecution
Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the presiding officer.

5.0 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

5.1 The Chief of Police or his designee shall be the ex-officio sergeant-at-arms of the City Council. The sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all legal and valid orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum in the Council Chamber. Upon instructions from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove any disorderly person from the Council Chambers or place the disorderly person under arrest or both.

5.2 As set forth in Government Code Section 54957.9, in the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a person or group of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible or impedes the ability of the Council to hold the meeting, and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the presiding officer may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Duly accredited representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City Council from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

Agenda Item No. 3

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 11, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson City Manager
PREPARED BY: Annette Munoz, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Master Fee Schedule Update

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution updating the Citywide Master Fee Schedule approving cost increases based on the Consumer Price Index and other changes to become effective July 1, 2022

BACKGROUND
The Citywide Master Fee Schedule (Schedule) summarizes all fees the City charges for various services and permits, such as building permits and recreational classes. This schedule ensures transparency and consistency in the fees charged for services to provide cost-recovery to the General Fund. The fees are developed based on the cost to the City to provide the service or on the impact the activity has on the City or its property. Adjusting the fees in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) ensures sufficient cost-recovery for the City. The adjustment requested for the Schedule is based on the CPI for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA which had an increase of 3.832% for the year ending on December 31, 2021. A water and sewer rate study was completed for a five-year period beginning July 1, 2021 with the Proposition 218 process resulting in a rate structure adopted at the May 10, 2021 Council meeting.

Additionally, the City has some fees which are pass-thru fees from other agencies and only updated when the pass-thru agencies change their fees. One such agency is the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District which provides wastewater treatment to Grover Beach residents and businesses. The Sanitation District fees last increased effective July 1, 2019, with no other changes to date.

Building Permit Fees
At the February 28, 2022 Council meeting, Council approved Resolution 22-06 amending the current Master Fee Schedule to update Building Permit Fees which will take effect May 1, 2022.

The new Building Permit Fees are included in this version of the Master Fee Schedule and are not applicable to the 3.832% CPI increase.

Cannabis Audit Fees
The City consults with Hinderliter de Llamas (HdL) for cannabis audit services. HdL audits all cannabis businesses annually to confirm that the cannabis tax received by the City is reported correctly. The contract with HdL was renewed by the Council on March 28,2022, as a result the audit fees have increased from $6,000 to $7,500.

Staff Report: Annual Master Fee Schedule Update Page 3
April 11, 2022
Cannabis Regulatory Fees
The annual cannabis regulatory fee covers the City’s costs for monitoring and oversight of the operating cannabis businesses in the city. The current fees are as follows:

Retail & Manufacturing $20,000
Cultivation $15,000
Distribution $10,000
Testing Laboratory $ 5,000
Based on three years of operating experience and applicable costs, staff is proposing a reduction to the retail and manufacturing regulatory fee from $20,000 to $15,000. In addition, staff recommends the regulatory fee for cannabis testing laboratories increase from $5,000 to $10,000.

Although the City’s first testing laboratory opened last month, staff has found that the minimum time spent has not varied significantly based on the type of cannabis operation except for retail and manufacturing. As a result of the revisions, the regulatory fee would be either $10,000 or $15,000 per business for greater consistency among cannabis businesses.

Development Impact Fees (DIFs)
The City’s Development Impact Fees need to be updated and staff anticipates completing this update next fiscal year. The recently updated Housing Element includes a program to update DIFs to index fees based on the size of the unit which would provide lower fees for smaller units.

Parks and Recreation Fees
Staff is recommending updating the fees for the Parks and Recreation Department based on current market demand and other South County local agency rates to stay competitive. Some fees have been adjusted by the CPI, others have maintained the status quo or had a slight increase but all have stayed at or below the CPI of 3.832%.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the General Fund is estimated to be an increase in revenue between $20,000 and $25,000 depending upon the level of activity for the related services during FY 2022-23. The revenue increase to the Water Fund is estimated to increase revenue by approximately $100,000 and the Wastewater Fund is estimated to increase revenue by approximately $20,000. Estimates for other funds are expected to be minimal.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Adopt a Resolution updating the fee increases to the Master Fee Schedule; or

2. Do not adopt the Resolution.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

Attachments

1. Resolution updating the Master Fee Schedule, including Exhibit A – City of Grover Beach Master Fee Schedule.

RESOLUTION NO. 22-

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GROVER BEACH,

WHEREAS, on the City Council also finds adjustments to certain current fees based on a CPI of 3.832% for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA as of year ended December 31, 2021 and other cost changes in certain areas are necessary to achieve full cost recovery for City services; and
WHEAREAS, the Council consents to change the fees for Parks and Recreation using a combination of current market demand, other South County local agency rates and the CPI of

Agenda Item No. 4

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 11, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: David Hale, City Attorney
Bruce Buckingham, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance to Repeal and Replace Chapters 1, 2, and 4 of Article I (General Provisions), Repeal Sections 3102.5 and 3103 of Chapter 1 (Disorderly Conduct and Nuisances) of Article III (Public Welfare, Morals and Conduct) and Sections 1309 through 1325 of Chapter 3 (Rules of Construction) of Article I, and Amend Section 1500 of Chapter 5 (Abatement of Nuisances) of Article I of the Grover Beach Municipal Code

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and second reading to adopt an Ordinance to repeal and replace Chapters 1, 2, and 4 of Article I, repeal Sections 3102.5 and 3103 of Chapter 1 of Article III, and Sections 1309 through 1325 of Chapter 3 of Article I and amend Section 1500 of Chapter 5 of Article I of the Grover Beach Municipal Code
BACKGROUND:

Both the current and previous City Council Goals have included continuing to strengthen the City’s code compliance program. The FY 2021-23 City Council Goal for Code Compliance states:

Continue to strengthen the code compliance program and related code sections to be more proactive in inspecting and addressing such issues as, short-term rental violations, illegal advertising/business signage, overgrown landscaping and conflicting right-of-way encroachments; continue monitoring the cannabis industry.

The City Attorney’s Office along with staff have been working together in the development of Grover Beach Municipal Code (GBMC) amendments to promote and further this goal through resolving duplications within City codes and developing more comprehensive code enforcement policies and regulations. The City’s Code currently defines the principal code enforcement regulations within Chapters 1 through 5 of Article I, (General Provisions) of the GBMC.

Within Article I, the GBMC sets forth four predominate tools for staff and the City Attorney’s Office defining the underlining authority of the Municipal Code. Chapter 2 establishes the penal or criminal function of the code allowing the City Attorney’s Office to prosecute violations of the Code as a criminal offense either by infraction or in some cases by misdemeanor. Chapter 3 defines the rules of construction for implementation of the Code. Chapter 4 enumerates those options for staff and the City Attorney’s Office to enforce the GBMC by administrative notice of violations and civil citations. Chapter 5 defines what constitutes a public nuisance within the city and the options for both staff and the City Attorney’s Office to abate nuisances.

Staff Report: GBMC Article I and III Amendments Page 2
April 11, 2022
Staff and the City Attorney’s Office have reviewed Article I of the Code and concluded that to achieve and accomplish the purposes and objectives of the Council’s adopted goal, it is necessary to modify and amend the entire Article I to eliminate internal inconsistencies in the Code. It is also necessary to bring the Code up to date on current enforcement options and tools. The first step was to update Article I Chapter 5 (Public Nuisances) which the Council adopted in July 2019. Staff is proposing the completion of the Article I update by amending the remaining Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 with a minor modification of Chapter 5 which will provide the following benefits:
• Elimination of inconsistencies between different chapters of the GBMC related to code compliance.
• Revising the criteria for obtaining attorney’s fees for code actions that are consistent with current State law and defining abatement cost recovery that includes both City staff time and City Attorney’s Office fees and court costs for civil citations and public nuisance actions.
• Establishing greater specificity to the procedures for enforcement of abandoned vehicles. • Enhancing the definitions used for code compliance to cover more of the typical terms used within Article 1 and to consolidate most of the definitions into one code section as done elsewhere within the code.
• Establishing clear authority for the City Attorney’s Office to prosecute criminal conduct as either an infraction or misdemeanor.
• Expanding the definition of entities subject to citation that include but are not limited to individuals who are beneficiaries under a deed of trust related to the property subject to the code compliance action.
• Expands the citing authority of the City to include not only violations of the GBMC but also violations of conditions of development entitlements like subdivision maps, use permits, variances, etc.
• Allows for the immediate imposition of civil fines and penalties without a 30-day cure period for building code violations that exist as a result of illegal cultivation of cannabis.

The City Attorney’s Office and staff believe these enhanced regulations will provide greater tools to deal with code compliance issues and strengthen the City’s enforcement actions in the future.

In addition to Article I amendments, staff is proposing to delete two redundant code sections that are no longer needed as a result of the previous update to Chapter 5 Public Nuisances as follows:
• Article III Chapter 1 Section 3102.5 (Painting, Etc. of Motor Vehicles in Residential Zones).

This violation is currently addressed in Article I Chapter 5 Public Nuisances. • Article III Chapter 1 Section 3103 (Unsightliness of Property). This violation is currently addressed in Article I Chapter 5 Public Nuisances.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City from this Code amendment.

Section 1400. Findings and Purpose. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

The procedures established in this chapter shall be in Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 9

1). To protect the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city of Grover Beach.
(2). To gain compliance with this Code and applicable state codes, as well as other ordinances and regulations in a timely and efficient manner. (3). To encourage voluntary and complete compliance with the provisions of this Code and applicable state codes and to eliminate public nuisances for the protection and benefit of the entire community.
(4). To provide for an administrative hearing process to appeal the imposition of civil citations and civil fines.
(5). To provide a method to hold persons responsible when they fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of the Grover Beach Municipal Code or applicable provisions of state codes, other ordinances or regulations, or terms and conditions imposed on licenses, permits, or entitlements issued or approved by the city of Grover Beach; and (6). To minimize the expense and delay where the sole remedy is to pursue responsible parties in the civil or criminal justice system.

Section 1401.
(A). Any person violating any provision of this Code or applicable state codes may be issued a civil citation by an Enforcement Officer as provided in this chapter.

Section 1403. Civil Citation – General.

If a person violates any condition of such license or permit, or land use approval or other entitlement, he or she may be issued a civil citation and be liable for civil fines under the provisions of this chapter.
(D). The city may take into consideration the fact that a person has been issued civil citations when the city is determining whether to grant, modify, suspend, revoke, or deny any license or permit, or any type of land use approval or other entitlement regarding that person or property, and such civil citations are evidence that the person has committed acts that are not compatible with the health, safety and general welfare of other persons or businesses in the vicinity.

Section 1404. Civil Citation – Building Violations.
(A). When a Notice of Violation is issued for a building violation, a thirty (30) calendar day correction period shall be allowed for the correction of the violation and the Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 12
responsible person shall correct the violation within that period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1403 of this chapter, no responsible person for a building violation shall be liable for a civil fine unless the violation continues after the thirty (30) calendar days allowed for its correction, plus any extension, and a civil citation is issued containing a notice of failure to correct. The thirty (30) calendar day correction period shall not apply to a building code violation if the violation exists as a result of, or to facilitate, the illegal cultivation of cannabis.
(B). The responsible person receives a Notice of Violation for a building violation may request an extension of the correction period, provided that a request is filed with the director before the thirty (30) calendar day correction period ends. The director may, in his or her discretion, grant a reasonable extension of the time period to correct the violation if the responsible person has supplied substantial evidence showing that the correction cannot reasonably be made within the thirty (30) calendar day period.

If a building violation has not been corrected by the end of the correction period, the enforcement officer has authority to issue to the responsible person a civil citation containing a notice of failure to correct. The responsible person to whom the notice of failure to correct is issued shall be liable for and shall pay to the city the civil fine or fines described in the civil citation, which civil fine or fines shall be due on the date of issuance of the civil citation. Additional civil citations may be issued and additional civil fines imposed for every day the violation continues uncorrected from the date of issuance of the civil citation.

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 14
(A). Personal Service. An enforcement officer shall attempt to locate and personally serve the responsible person and obtain the signature of the responsible person on the civil citation. If the responsible person served refuses or fails to sign the civil citation, the failure or refusal to sign shall not affect the validity of the civil citation or of the subsequent proceedings.
(B). Service by Mail. If the enforcement officer is unable to locate or personally serve the responsible person, the civil citation shall be served by first-class mail, postage prepaid, with a declaration under penalty of perjury of service by mail executed by the person mailing the civil citation. The civil citation shall be addressed to the responsible person at the address shown on the last equalized property tax assessment rolls for San Luis Obispo County for a building or property related violation, or to any address known for the responsible person for all other violations. Service by mail shall be deemed to be effective service on the date it is mailed and shall not affect the validity of the civil citation or of the subsequent proceedings. (C). Service by Posting. If the Enforcement Officer is unsuccessful in either personal service or service by mail, the civil citation shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the real property where the violation occurs for a building or property related violation. Such posting shall be deemed to be effective service on the date of posting and shall not affect the validity of the civil citation or of the subsequent proceedings.

(B). A civil fine shall be late if not received by the city within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the civil citation was issued.
(C). If a responsible person requests an administrative hearing and has received a waiver of civil fine deposit and the hearing officer upholds the civil citation, the civil fine shall be due on the date the notice of decision is personally delivered or mailed to the responsible person.

Section 1409. Civil Fines – Payment.
(A). A civil fine shall be received by the city Administrative Services department within thirty (30) calendar days of its due date.
(B). Payment of a civil fine shall not excuse the responsible person from correcting the code violation(s).

Section 1410. Civil Fines – Collection.
(A). Civil fines, interest, penalties, reinspection fees, and/or administrative costs shall become a debt owing to the city and a personal obligation of the responsible person cited.
(B). The city, at its discretion, may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies for the collection of unpaid civil fines, administrative charges, interest and penalties. Pursuit of one remedy does not preclude the pursuit of any other remedies until the total amount of the civil fines, interest and penalties owed by a person under this chapter have been collected.
(C). The city may refuse to issue, extend, or renew any city permit, license, or other city approval to any person, who has unpaid delinquent civil fines, interest, Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 16
penalties, liens or assessments due under this chapter related to the permit, license, or approval.
(D). The city may suspend any permit, license, or land use approval issued to a person who has unpaid civil fines related to the permit, license, or approval totaling five hundred dollars ($500.00) or more that have been delinquent for over thirty (30) calendar days. The suspension shall become effective twenty (20) calendar days after notice of the suspension is placed by the director in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the person and shall continue until the delinquency is paid in full. The person may request an administrative hearing pursuant to the provisions of this chapter on the issue of civil fine delinquency only, if the request is filed with the director before the twenty (20) calendar day period ends. Continuing to operate under a suspended permit, license or land use approval shall be grounds for revocation of the permit, license or land use approval. Revocation may be made by the same city department, or commission issuing or granting the permit, license or land use approval upon the same notice and hearing requirements for the initial issue or grant, or upon such other procedures and notice requirements if controlled by another provision of this Code. In no event shall revocation occur upon less than ten (10) calendar days’ written notice. (E). It shall be unlawful for a responsible person to fail to pay any civil fine, interest, penalty, reinspection fee, or administrative charges imposed pursuant to this chapter. The City Attorney, at his or her discretion, may issue a criminal citation or complaint for an infraction to any responsible person who fails to make such a payment.

The criminal fine for this violation shall be a mandatory minimum of one hundred dollars ($100.00).
(F). Any violation of this Code shall constitute a public nuisance. To compel compliance, the city may seek to abate the nuisance and collect the costs incurred by means of a nuisance abatement lien and/or special assessment against the property where a property-related violation occurred. Any unpaid delinquent civil fines, interest, penalties, reinspection fees, or administrative charges may be recovered as part of any such lien or special assessment against the property of the responsible person who is the owner of the property where the violation occurred pursuant to Government Code Sections 38773.1 and 38773.5. In any judicial action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding or action of any kind to abate a nuisance, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of attorney's fees and court costs. The recovery of attorney's fees is limited solely to causes of action directly associated with the abatement of a public nuisance. In no action, administrative hearing, or special proceeding shall an award of attorney's fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the City in the action or proceeding. Such attorney's fees shall be recoverable as costs of abatement.
(G). To recover any delinquent civil fines, interest, penalties, reinspection fees, or administrative charges as a nuisance abatement lien and/or special assessment against the property where a property-related violation occurred, the city’s Administrative Service Director of , at his or her discretion, take the following steps:

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 17
(1). Submit to and receive from the City Council a resolution certifying the amounts of the liens and special assessments sought to be collected from each property owner.
(2). Request the San Luis Obispo County recorder to record a notice of any liens, or special assessments, and send the recorder the resolution certifying the amounts.
(3). Request the San Luis Obispo County tax collector to collect any special assessments certified by the City Council; and
(4). Take all other necessary action to enforce collection of any liens or special assessments provided for in this chapter.
(H). The Administrative Service Director may pursue the lien and special assessment remedies whether or not the city is pursuing any other action to terminate an ongoing code violation that was the basis for the civil fine. (I). All civil citations shall contain a notice that unpaid civil fines, interest, penalties, reinspection fees, and administrative charges are subject to the assessment and lien collection procedures of this section. The lien or assessment shall be imposed on the date the civil citation for the code violation is issued to the responsible person and becomes effective upon the recording of a notice of lien or assessment by the San Luis Obispo County recorder. This notice shall satisfy the notice requirements of Government Code Sections 38773.1 and 38773.5, when a civil citation is personally served on the responsible person. In addition, the city Administrative Service Director shall send notice by first class mail stating the date, time and location of the meeting to each property owner listed in the proposed resolution at least ten (10) calendar days before the city council considers the resolution and certifies the amounts of the liens and special assessments.
(J). A responsible person may contest the amount and/or validity of any lien or assessment for a civil fine at the public hearing to certify the amount of the lien or assessment by the City Council pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. Such contests shall be limited to the issue of the amount and/or validity of the lien or assessment and may not consider whether the underlying code violation occurred.

Pursuit of such a contest by a responsible person is necessary to exhaust the administrative remedies concerning a legal challenge to the validity of any such lien or assessment.
(K). The parent or legal guardian of a responsible person who is a minor shall be liable for any civil fines imposed upon the minor pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. Any such civil fines may be collected from the minor, parent or guardian.

Section 1411. Preliminary Civil Citation Review.

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 18
(A). A responsible person may request a preliminary civil citation review. The request for a preliminary civil citation review shall be actually received by the Community Development Department within ten (10) calendar days of the date of issuance of the civil citation.
(B). To obtain a preliminary civil citation review, the responsible person shall submit to the Community Development Department a copy of the civil citation along with a signed written request for a preliminary civil citation review stating the reasons why no violation occurred or why the responsible person cited is not a responsible person for the violation. Attached to the signed written request for a preliminary civil citation review shall be copies of any evidence that the responsible person would like considered during the preliminary civil citation review. All requests for a preliminary civil citation review shall be date stamped upon receipt by the city.
(C). A city employee designated by the director shall conduct the preliminary civil citation review. The reviewer shall not be the enforcement officer who issued the civil citation. The purpose of the preliminary civil citation review is to uncover and cancel any mistakenly issued civil citations due to errors that are easily verifiable, and not to resolve factual disputes concerning the violation that is the subject of the civil citation. (D). The preliminary civil citation review shall consist of a review of the citation, the written statement and any other evidence submitted at the time of the request by the responsible person and, at the discretion of the reviewer, any other related information.

The review shall be decided within three business days of receipt of the request. (E). The responsible person shall be notified of the results of the preliminary civil citation review by a written notice of decision. The notice of decision shall be forwarded to the responsible person by mail, email, or in person. (F). A request for preliminary civil citation review does not extend any time periods for compliance, including the civil fine due date, the time any correction period ends, or the time to request an administrative hearing. (G). If the conclusion of the preliminary civil citation review is that the civil citation was mistakenly issued or that the responsible person was not responsible for the violation, the citation shall be canceled.

Section 1412. Waiver of Civil Fine Payment.
(A). A responsible person requesting an administrative hearing may also request at the same time a hardship waiver of the civil fine payment. To seek such a waiver and obtain an administrative hearing on the request, the responsible person shall file with the City the signed written request form contained on the reverse side of the civil citation, check the box indicating this request, and attach a statement of the grounds for the request. The procedure governing the filing of such requests shall be the same, as provided in Section 1413 (B) of this chapter.

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 19
(B). The person requesting the waiver bears the burden of establishing by substantial evidence that he or she does not have the financial ability to pay the deposit of the civil fine. The responsible person shall personally appear at the administrative hearing on the request and a nonappearance shall constitute an abandonment of the request.
(C). The request shall be heard at the administrative hearing on the contest of the civil citation. At the conclusion of the administrative hearing on the waiver request, the hearing officer shall issue a notice of decision that the fine deposit is or is not waived. The hearing officer shall then proceed with the hearing on the contest of the civil citation. If the civil citation is upheld by the hearing officer, the fine payment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the decision is made by the hearing officer. (D). A hearing officer decision on the waiver request is final and not subject to an appeal pursuant to Section 1416 of this chapter.

Section 1413. Administrative Hearing – Request.
(A). A responsible person may contest a civil citation by filing a request for an administrative hearing, except that an administrative hearing of a building violation may not be requested unless and until a second civil citation is issued containing a notice of failure to correct. To obtain an administrative hearing, the responsible person shall fill out and file a signed written request form obtained from the city’s Department of Community Development and indicate the grounds for contesting the civil citation and/or civil fine. A responsible person may contest the civil citation by denying that a violation occurred, by denying that it was not corrected within the correction period, if applicable, or by denying that the responsible person cited is a responsible person for the violation. (B). To be effective and complete, the city must actually receive the request within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the citation was issued. Where the responsible person mails a request, the request shall be deemed filed on the date actually received by the city.
(C). The responsible person shall appear at the administrative hearing on the date and at the time and place specified in writing by the City by the Director of Community Development. Failure to personally attend the administrative hearing shall be considered a nonappearance. Nonappearance by the responsible person shall constitute an abandonment of the request unless the administrative hearing was continued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.

Section 1414. Administrative Hearing – Procedure.
(A). A hearing officer shall conduct administrative hearings in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B). Hearings shall be conducted by a hearing officer either:

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 20
(1). On the date and at the time and place specified in writing by the City; (2). On the date designated as a continued hearing date, as specified hereinbelow; or
(3). On a date set by the director at least ten (10) calendar days, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days, after the responsible person requests an administrative hearing pursuant to Section 1412 of this chapter. At least ten (10) calendar days written notice thereof shall be given to the responsible person. (C). The Director shall ensure that the pertinent civil citation records are delivered to the hearing officer, including information showing all civil fine deposits or waivers granted.
(D). At the administrative hearing, the director shall make available to the responsible person copies of any additional reports concerning the civil citation that are provided to the hearing officer.
(E). The responsible person shall be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence relevant to financial hardship, the code violation specified in the citation, or the fact that all fines have been paid. A parent or legal guardian of a responsible person who is a juvenile under eighteen (18) years of age shall accompany the responsible person at the administrative hearing or the contest of the civil citation or request for waiver of the civil fine deposit shall be deemed abandoned. (F). The civil citation, and any other reports prepared by the enforcement officer, or prepared at his or her request concerning the code violation, any attempted correction of the code violation, or civil fine payments that are provided to the hearing officer shall be accepted by the hearing officer as prima facie evidence of the code violation and the facts stated in such documents.
(G). The hearing officer, Director, or City Attorney may continue an administrative hearing if a request is made by the responsible person, or the responsible person’s representative, or the representative of the city, upon a showing of good cause. All continuance requests shall either be made in person at the administrative hearing or by written request received by the department at least twentyfour (24) hours before the administrative hearing date. If the continuance is granted, a new administrative hearing date shall be set within forty-five (45) calendar days and noted on the notice of decision. If the continuance is denied, the administrative hearing shall proceed as scheduled, and, if the responsible person is not present, the contest of the civil citation or request for civil fine payment waiver shall be deemed abandoned in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The decision on the continuance request is final and the notice of decision shall either be delivered personally to the responsible person or the representative if present or be mailed or emailed to the responsible person by the department.

Ordinance No. 22-03 Page 21
(H). The administrative hearing shall be conducted informally, and the legal rules of evidence need not be followed. The hearing officer does not have the authority to issue a subpoena.
(I). The failure of the responsible person to appear at the administrative hearing, unless continued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, shall constitute an abandonment of the request for waiver of the civil fine payment and/or contest of the civil citation, and a failure to exhaust administrative remedies concerning the code violation(s) as set forth in the civil citation. The responsible person’s failure to appear shall be noted on the notice of decision by the hearing officer and delivered to the responsible person either in person or by mail.

Section 1415. Administrative Hearing – Decision.
(A). After consideration of all the evidence and testimony submitted at the administrative hearing, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision to either waive the civil fine payment, not waive the civil fine payment, uphold the civil citation, or cancel the civil citation. The hearing officer has no discretion or authority to reduce or modify a civil fine. The decision will be made on a notice of decision form and designate the reasons and evidence considered for the decision. The decision of the hearing officer shall be made within ten business days of the hearing and shall be final. The notice of decision shall be mailed or emailed to the responsible person by the department. .

Section 1416. Right to Judicial Review.
(A). Any person aggrieved by an administrative decision of a hearing officer may seek judicial review of the administrative hearing decision by filing an appeal with the superior court of San Luis Obispo County in accordance with the timelines and provisions set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. The aggrieved person filing the appeal shall be responsible for paying the statutory filing fee to the superior court when the appeal is filed.
(B). No appeal is permitted from an administrative decision regarding:
(1). A request for preliminary civil citation review.
(2). An extension of the thirty (30) calendar day correction period for building violations.
(3). A request for waiver of the civil fine payment; or (4). A decision that the responsible person is deemed to have abandoned the contest of the civil citation or civil fine due to her or his failure to appear at the administrative hearing or failure to deposit the civil fine.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 11, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Bruce Buckingham, Community Development Director A. Rafael Castillo, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Development Application 22-07 – Pre-Application Development Review of Proposed Mixed-Use Project at 402 West Grand Avenue (Applicant: Coastal Community Builders)

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation on the preliminary project by the applicant and provide input to the developer in finalizing a development application for the project.

BACKGROUND
The intersection of West Grand
Avenue and 4th Street has been
identified in the City’s Land Use
Element and the adopted West
Grand Avenue Master Plan as a
key gateway intersection that
welcomes tourist and residents
alike to the “heart” of Grover Beach.

The West Grand Avenue Master
Plan identifies the following in
relation to this key intersection:
• The tallest buildings should
be located at the corners,
with smaller massing
behind and along West
Grand Avenue.
• Buildings should have
primary entrances at the
corner of West Grand
Avenue and Fourth Street.
• Parking lots should be
located in the rear of the
buildings.
• Design and scale should draw pedestrians to this gateway intersection. • Pedestrian-scale corner treatments and an architectural focal point at the intersection. • A mix of uses including ground floor commercial with residential or hotel rooms above.

Proposed Project
The 0.69 acre property at 402 West Grand Avenue has been actively marketed over the last few years and the applicant, Coastal Community Builders, recently entered escrow to acquire the property. The applicant has submitted a “pre-application” for review by staff and to allow Council to comment on the preliminary project which includes the following (reference Attachment 1):
• Construction of a 39,200 square foot (s.f.), four-story building approximately 42-feet in height with additional architectural projections and parapets up to 45-feet in height. • 4,700 s.f. ground level commercial space envisioned as a restaurant with outdoor dining along both West Grand Avenue and South 4th Street.
• 3,200 s.f. roof top deck that could accommodate additional outdoor dining for a restaurant and additional common open space area for residents.
• 22 proposed two-bedroom residential units with a potential to increase to 44 studio units based on proposed fractional density.
• 51 on-site parking spaces.
• On-site landscaping that includes planting of screening trees and other dense landscaping with a masonry wall adjacent to existing residences along the southern property boundary. • Street trees along West Grand Avenue and South 4th Street.

Preliminary Site Plan
Staff Report: Pre-Application Development Review of 402 West Grand Avenue Page 3 April 11, 2022
The proposed building architecture includes modern architectural features with the use of wood siding on pop-out elements, particularly at the corner of the intersection with extensive tore front windows for the commercial space. The proposed project includes undulations along South 4th Street to establish a façade rhythm and pedestrian scale. The use of balconies provide visual interest on the second through fourth floors, with step backs to break up massing along West Grand Avenue. Additional materials utilized on the building include stucco, pre-fabricated metal, and other accents that complement the contemporary architecture.

General Plan Consistency and West Grand Avenue Master Plan The Land Use Element (LUE) and the West Grand Avenue Master Plan are the guiding policy documents for the development along West Grand Avenue. The following LUE policies are applicable to the proposed development:

LU-6.4 Preference for Mixed-use Development. In general, ground floor development within the Visitor Serving – Mixed-Use designation should be reserved for retail shops, eating and drinking establishments, and visitor accommodations, with the upper floors occupied by additional visitor accommodations, offices and dwellings. To assure adequate space for visitor- serving uses, properties within this designation should not include general retail stores such as larger grocery and drug stores, auto sales or repair, or business services that are more suited to shopping centers. Although mixed-use development is encouraged, it is not required.

LU-6.5 Street Character. In general, buildings constructed in the area designated Visitor Serving – Mixed Use should be placed at the back of sidewalk along the street frontage, especially along Grand Avenue, with adequate space between the building and the curb to accommodate pedestrian walkways, street furniture (seating, lighting, landscaping, public art), and for outdoor dining and gathering.

LU-6.6 Preference for Mixed-use Development. The properties surrounding the intersection of 4th Street and Grand Avenue should be developed with visitor-serving mixed-use development that includes retail on the ground floors and housing, offices and/or visitor accommodations on the upper floors. This area may be appropriate for taller (e.g., four story) buildings.

The West Grand Avenue Master Plan has identified the site as an opportunity site. The Master Plan envisioned “the intersection of Fourth Street and West Grand Avenue should be developed into a gateway with pedestrian-oriented amenities such as outdoor cafes and well-designed corner treatments that give the gateway a distinct character.” The proposed project includes ground floor commercial space for a potential restaurant or other commercial uses with residential units behind the commercial and on the above floors.

Additionally, the applicant proposes a roof top deck that takes advantage of the site’s ocean views and could be used for additional outdoor dining. The preliminary project includes areas adjacent to the sidewalk that could accommodate outdoor dining or other outdoor uses that create character and vibrancy consistent with the LUE and Master Plan. Staff believes the proposed project is consistent with adopted policies for development at this site. The Council may provide additional comments to the applicant regarding consistency with both policy documents.

Development Code Consistency
The subject property is located in the Coastal Visitor Serving Zone (CVS) that applies to areas of the City appropriate for pedestrian oriented commercial development near the beachfront and encourages active evening uses and street life. Appropriate uses include lodging, restaurants, recreational uses, and retail and commercial services primarily for the convenience of visitors.

The preliminary uses include commercial and residential uses. Additionally, the preliminary project meets Development Code standards for parking, setbacks, heights, and mixed-use projects. It should be noted that the Development Code currently allows for building heights of up to 50 feet at this intersection and the proposed project is 42 feet in height.

Staff Report: Pre-Application Development Review of 402 West Grand Avenue Page 5 April 11, 2022
Proposed Development Code Amendments
Staff is currently working with a consultant on Development Code amendments to implement the Housing Element programs as directed by the Council. This includes adoption of objection design standards (ODS), removal of subjective policies, and introduction of incentives to promote construction of “affordable by design” housing options. One of these proposed incentives is the use of “fractional density” which would allow smaller market rate units that would count as a “fraction” of a unit as follows:
• Units up to 600 square feet = 0.50 units
• Units of 601 square feet up to 1,000 square feet = 0.66 units • Units over 1,001 square feet = 1 unit
The preliminary design of the project includes two floor plan alternatives consisting of a 2-bedroom unit approximately 1,050 s.f. which would allow 22 units, or a studio unit approximately 500 s.f., which would allow 44 units utilizing fractional density. The 22-unit project is allowed based on the current zoning, but the draft Development Code amendment would allow the use of fractional density as shown above.

The applicant has submitted a letter (reference Attachment 2) indicating their preference for using fractional density allowing up to 44 studio units and the floor plan alternatives illustrate that the increased units would be within the same building footprint with no increase in the building size or area. The Council will hold a joint study session with the Planning Commission on April 19, 2022 to review and discuss the proposed Development Code amendments with public hearings to consider adoption scheduled for May. Given the project’s location within the Coastal Zone, a development application for a 44-unit project could not be processed until such time the Code amendments are approved both by the Council and the California Coastal Commission which is anticipated this fall.

Staff Report: Pre-Application Development Review of 402 West Grand Avenue Page 6 April 11, 2022
Summary
The purpose of the pre-application review is to provide the applicant feedback from the Council on their preliminary project plans in addition to the review by City departments that outlines relevant policies and Development Code standards. In addition, the pre-application process allows the Council to receive a presentation by the applicant on the preliminary project and allows comments from both the Council and the public. As discussed above, staff believes the project is consistent with the Land Use Element, West Grand Avenue Master Plan and current Development Code standards along with the City’s Major City Goals of Economic Development and Housing and Homelessness.

The City Council has the following alternative to consider:

1. Receive a presentation on the preliminary project by the applicant and provide input to the developer in finalizing a development application for the project, or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.
