CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 7
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: August 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director Kyle Bell, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Amending the Grover Beach Municipal Code Article IX (Development Code), and Adoption of a Resolution Amending the Local Coastal Program with revisions to Chapter 4, Section 4.10.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)) to align with recent changes in State ADU Law requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 25-04, amending the Grover Beach Municipal Code Article IX (Development Code), and adopt a Resolution to amend the Local Coastal Program by revising Chapter 4, Section 4.10.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)).
BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 24-08, updating various chapters and sections of the City’s Development Code, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Urban Lot Subdivisions, to align with State law requirements, reduce regulatory barriers, and improve internal consistency (City Council Staff Report). The changes reflected in the ordinance were informed by staff’s experience implementing the Development Code and incorporated lessons learned, best practices, and practical refinements. Many of the updates addressed compliance with State mandates, while others focused on removing or reducing development barriers and improving clarity and consistency throughout the Code.
Because a portion of the City is located within the Coastal Zone, these amendments require certification by the California Coastal Commission. Prior to adoption, Coastal Commission staff informed the City of a new review coordination process with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for ADU-related amendments. In accordance with this process, the City submitted the adopted ordinance to HCD for review on September 12, 2024. On December 24, 2024, HCD provided a “flyover” review, offering preliminary comments and recommended clarifications related to State ADU law (HCD Flyover Comment Letter). Staff incorporated these comments into revised versions of the ordinance and resolution.
On July 1, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments and found the changes appropriately addressed HCD’s comments. The Commission did not recommend any further modifications to the draft ordinance. On July 28, 2025, the Council voted unanimously to introduce Ordinance No. 25-04 (Attachment 1), which amends Grover Beach Municipal Code Staff Report: Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Second Reading Page 2 August 25, 2025
Article IX Section 4.10.015 (ADU Ordinance). The Council reviewed the proposed ADU Ordinance amendments and expressed general support, with no recommended changes to the draft ordinance.
The next step in this process is adoption of the Ordinance and LCP amendment through this second reading. Upon adoption, staff will forward the LCP amendment to the Coastal Commission shown in Attachment 2. The Coastal Commission’s review will involve an evaluation of the ordinance to ensure it aligns with both State laws and the Coastal Act and formal action at a noticed public hearing. The amended ordinance would become effective the day after Coastal Commission action. Any recommended changes by the Coastal Commission would require review and acknowledgment by the Council before the ordinance would be considered effective.
Following the Coastal Commission review and acknowledgement, and barring any changes, the ADU Ordinance will be submitted to HCD for review and filing.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) Section 15378(b)(5) and is therefore exempt from CEQA because it will not result in any direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 25-04, amending the Grover Beach Municipal Code Article IX (Development Code), and adopt a Resolution to amend the Local Coastal Program by revising Chapter 4, Section 4.10.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)).; or
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act. A legal ad was published in the New Times on July 10, 2025. The City Council, following a public hearing, first reading and introduction of the ordinance and resolution, voted unanimously on July 28th to agendize the second reading and adoption at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 9
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: 8/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Micheal Flores, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Appropriation of Urban Area Apportionment (USHA) funds to the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project (CIP 2287)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to approve the appropriation of Urban Area Apportionment (USHA) grant funds to the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project (CIP 2287)
BACKGROUND
In July 2024, the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments and the City entered into a cooperative agreement (GB-FAST-01) approving the appropriation of grant funding of $213,600 in Urban Area Apportionment (USHA), $1,711,701 in Regional State Highway Account (RSHA), and $1,749,984 in Regional Early Access Planning (REAP) funds to the City to help fund the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project (CIP 2287) which was completed in May. The project was originally allocated REAP and RSHA grant funds with the option of allocating the USHA in the future. Although the USHA is a State-administered grant, these grant funds were apportioned through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (H.R.3684 – (2021-2022)) approved by Congress and thus are apportioned to local agencies through the Federal Government.
Staff is now recommending approval to appropriate the balance of the City’s USHA funds to the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project as part of the funding closeout of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as these grant funds were already awarded to the City and this action will appropriate the funds to the specified project.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Adopt the Resolution to approve appropriation of the USHA funds to the West Grand Avenue project; or
2. Do not adopt the Resolution and provide additional direction to staff.

Project Eligibility by Fund Program - Project eligibility requirements by funding program are summarized below.
I. Regional Surface Transportation Program. The Surface Transportation Program (STP) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for projects to preserve and improve the conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and tunnel projects on any public road, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit capital projects, including intercity bus terminals. SLOCOG's 2014 RTP will provide guidance on priority routes for regional funding consideration.
The STP program supports national performance goals as defined in FAST-Act, but there are no measures tied specifically to this program. Eligible costs for funds under these programs include pre-project initiation documents (Pre-PIO), project study reports (PSR), preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way acquisition (RW), capital costs, and construction costs associated with an eligible activity.
Eligible Project Activities:
• Construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, resurfacing, restoration, preservation, or operational improvements for highways, streets, and roads; bikeways and other surface transportation improvements.
• Replacement, rehabilitation, and preservation of bridges on any public road, including construction or reconstruction necessary to accommodate other modes. • Construction of new bridges on a Federal-aid highway. • Capital costs for transit projects eligible for assistance under chapter 53 of title 49, including vehicles and facilities used to provide intercity passenger bus service. • Carpool projects, fringe and corridor parking facilities and programs, including electric and natural gas vehicle charging infrastructure, bicycle transportation and pedestrian walkways, and ADA sidewalk modification.
• Highway and transit safety infrastructure improvements and programs, installation of safety barriers and nets on bridges, hazard eliminations, mitigation of hazards caused by wildlife, railway-highway grade crossings.
• Highway and transit plans research and development.
• Capital and operating costs for traffic monitoring, management and control facilities and programs, including advanced truck stop electrification. • Surface transportation planning.
• Transportation Alternatives; newly defined, includes most transportation enhancement eligibilities with the exception of landscaping.
• Transportation control measures (e.g. as defined by region's APCD Clean Air Plan) • Development and establishment of transportation management systems. • Environmental mitigation efforts
• Modifications to intersections with high accident rates or levels of congestion. • Infrastructure-based ITS capital improvements consistent with the Central Coast ITS Implementation Plan.
• Environmental restoration and pollution abatement.
SLOCOG RSTP Exchange/STBG General Cooperative Agreement page 6 Docusign Envelope ID: E6A49039-9C70-4CC9-82E3-D81A8CC6BA94 • Control of noxious weeds and establishment of native species. • Congestion pricing projects and strategies, including electric toll collection and travel demand management strategies and programs.
• Recreational trails projects.
• Construction of marine terminals.
• Truck parking facilities.
• Surface transportation infrastructure modifications within port terminal boundaries, only if necessary to facilitate direct intermodal interchange, transfer, and access into and out of the port.
• Construction and operational improvements for a minor collector in the same corridor and in proximity to an NHS route if the improvement is more cost-effective ( as determined by a benefit-cost analysis) than an NHS improvement and will enhance NHS level of service and regional traffic flow.
Available Funding
• Direct urban and rural apportionment up to minimum required equal to 110%, plus 15%, of the FY 1990/91 allocation of Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) based upon 2010 census data (initiated in 2015).

General Programming Policies - All Fund Programs
SLOCOG's 2014 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy identifies an overall goal to develop a multi-modal transportation system which is balanced, coordinated, safe, cost effective, environmentally sound, economically supportive, meeting all the financially reasonable transportation needs of all citizens in San Luis Obispo County. General programming policies affecting the decision making and project selection of the surface transportation system are summarized as follows:
1. SLOCOG will strive to be fair and equitable in the allocation of funding between the various subregions in the county and among member jurisdictions.
2. SLOCOG will adhere to the federal and state statutes, policies, regulations and guidelines applicable to each fund being allocated, and require recipients of grants to do the same.
3. SLOCOG will recommend projects for funding that are:
• Deliverable
• Consistent with the goals, policies, and programs of the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan
• Regionally Significant
• Responsive to immediate funding and project needs
• Consistent with specific criteria of a particular funding program • High likelihood of leveraging other funding (state, federal and/or local)
4. SLOCOG will seek to implement all programs in a timely and efficient manner.
5. SLOCOG will seek to maximize the use of the funds for general public benefit, and will marshal other funds when possible to complete funded projects by prioritizing joint-funded projects.
6. SLOCOG will integrate social equity factors in to the decision making process by applying the findings generated from the Disadvantaged Communities Assessment that is now amended in to the 2014 RTP/SCS.
7. SLOCOG will, to the extent feasible, assure the integration of all projects with jurisdiction, region and statewide transportation plans, providing a comprehensive, systematic approach to resolving transportation problems in the region.
8. SLOCOG will retain maximum flexibility of federal programs under FAST ACT, where feasible, and will also seek to exchange Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) (federal) funds for Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Exchange (state) funds, for reasons of cost efficiency and simplicity in administration. Through the RSTP Exchange funds ultimately become (local) funds.
9. SLOCOG will retain a continuing commitment to emphasize quality and promote excellence in the development of competitive proposals, seeking to fund the best possible projects in terms of cost effectiveness, public benefit and regional and local significance.
10. SLOCOG will reserve discretionary funds for advance development work to ensure regionally significant projects are well scoped, alternatives assessed , accurate estimates prepared, and a finance plan for implementation is developed.
11 . SLOCOG will reserve off-the-top funding for programs identified in the 2014 RTP/SCS, including Transportation Demand Management (i.e. Rideshare), Active Transportation SLOCOG RSTP Exchange/STBG General Cooperative Agreement page 8 Docusign Envelope ID: E6A49039-9C70-4CC9-82E3-D81A8CC6BA94 Partnership Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safe Routes to School.
12. SLOCOG will maintain funding commitments for existing programmed projects as long as those projects have achieved the project delivery milestones set out at the time of programming. Unavoidable delays to the project delivery milestones will be considered on a case by case basis.
13. SLOCOG will commit a portion of discretionary funding to match and leverage other competitive state-wide grant programs (e.g. new SB1 programs, State of CA Active Transportation Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for projects of regional significance.)
14. SLOCOG may consider using the above referenced fund sources to address surface transportation needs as identified in the June 7th 2017 SLCOOG Board Staff Report item B-3 2018 RTIP Fund Assumptions Programming Approach - Table 2 Sections 1, 2, and 3, and defer the programming of funds on needs identified in Section 4 (Other Multi-Modal Needs, including bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit related needs).

Agenda Item No. 10
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: August 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Billy Haas, Public Works Superintendent
Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Purchase of Public Works Dump Truck
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of a replacement dump truck from Central Coast Truck Center in the amount of $168,806.63; and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for the purchase.
BACKGROUND
As part of the FY 2025-26 budget, the Council approved funding for a new dump truck for the Public Works Department. The current dump truck is from 1990 and is far beyond its useful service life, requiring extensive repairs to both the mechanical and safety systems. This truck is used for all Public Works operations including hauling streets and parks materials and helping with excavation related to water and sewer utility repairs and upgrades.
In accordance with the Public Contract Code, the City can use the bid of another agency through a collective purchasing agreement to purchase this vehicle. Staff selected a bid through a collective purchasing agreement with Sourcewell which leads to significant savings in time and money by enabling the City to capitalize on the work of other agencies and not have a separate bidding process.
FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase will be split up between three funds given the various uses of the vehicle pursuant to the City’s cost allocation formula. The total cost of $168,806 will be funded with $84,404 from the General Fund, $42,202 from the Water Enterprise Fund, and $42,202 from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Approve the purchase of a new Public Works dump truck for $168,806.63 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract for the purchase; or
2. Do not approve the purchase of a new dump truck; or
3. Provide staff with additional direction.

CITY OF GROVER BEACH
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 11
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: 8/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Robert Lomeli, City Attorney
Wendi Sims, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance to Approve the Reorganization, Compilation, Renumbering, Amendment, Repeal, Restatement, and Codification of Existing Ordinances and Adopting a New Municipal Code
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct the first reading, by title only, and introduce an Ordinance to approve Reorganization, Compilation, Renumbering, Amendment, Repeal, Restatement and Codification of existing Ordinances and adopting a New Municipal Code; and 2) schedule a public hearing for a second reading and adoption at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting
BACKGROUND
The Grover Beach Municipal Code (Code) was originally adopted by Ordinance 1 on December 28, 1959 when the City was incorporated. The Code was revised and recodified on March 1, 1976 and again on September 19, 1988. Since then, there have been numerous revisions to the Code, but not a full recodification as was done in 1976 and 1988. Recodifying the Code allows updating and reorganizing all local laws to ensure accuracy, accessibility and consistency, while making it user-friendly and improving public access. This recodification also provides a digital code, which allows staff to regularly update the code on the City’s website when new ordinances are approved.
The recodification makes no substantive changes to code sections beyond what has been changed through adoption of previous ordinances.
Staff is bringing this recodification forward now given the time since the last comprehensive recodification was done in 1988 with numerous ordinances adopted since then. The Code would thus benefit from reorganization and integration into a cohesive, updated code structure. Pending the Council’s introduction of this Ordinance for this recodification, the second reading and public hearing of the Ordinance will be scheduled for the September 8, 2025 meeting. The Ordinance is shown in Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no funding impact to this action.

Meeting Date: 8/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
Jim Munro, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Homelessness Response Update
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the City’s response to homelessness including implementation of camping ordinance, partnership with the 5Cities Homeless Coalition on temporary emergency housing facilities, and future challenges affecting homelessness response; and provide direction to staff regarding a potential change in the City’s camping ordinance.
BACKGROUND
Homelessness has been a long-standing issue for the City given the complexity and challenge of this issue not only in Grover Beach but throughout the county and state. This issue was previously identified by the Council as a key priority for the City through the establishment of Housing and Homelessness as a Major City Goal from FY 2021-22 through FY 2024-25 and related work program initiatives. Homelessness has also consistently been identified by the public in previous community surveys as one of the top issues facing Grover Beach.
Staff brought forward numerous updates to the Council from 2021 through 2024 to provide information about the City’s response to this issue. The most recent update was on April 8, 2024 summarizing the first year of implementation for the City’s camping ordinance adopted in March 2023, reporting the progress of the “Cabins for Change” temporary housing facility, and presenting a request from the developer of the new “Balay Ko on Barca” temporary housing to waive approximately $49,000 in City Development Impact Fees (DIF). The Council adopted a resolution approving this waiver using General Fund reserves to offset the loss of DIF revenue.
Building on the April 2024 agenda item, this report will provide a subsequent update on the implementation of the City’s camping ordinance and share the progress of both the Cabins for Change and Balay Ko on Barca temporary housing facilities operated by the 5Cities Homeless Coalition. The report will also highlight future challenges affecting the ability of local governments to address homelessness particularly regarding funding for housing and services. Lastly, staff is seeking Council direction on a potential change in the City’s camping ordinance.
Camping Ordinance Implementation
On March 27, 2023, the Council adopted an ordinance to address camping and vehicle habitation on public lands and private property. The ordinance set regulations relating to time, place, and manner of camping and provides 72 hours of noticing before an encampment must be removed.

August 25, 2025
Prior to the ordinance, the City experienced unregulated and unauthorized camps in various areas of the City including public parks, wooded areas along El Camino Real, and many other areas on public and private property. Following adoption of the ordinance, the Police Department has led the City’s efforts to educate community members of the ordinance, provide resources, and conduct necessary enforcement efforts. The department’s efforts, involving both civilian Community Service Officers and sworn Police Officers, focus on encouraging voluntary compliance before citations are issued and/or camps are removed. Consistent with the City’s longstanding commitment to addressing this issue with compassion and order, the Police Department has worked with the Public Works Department to develop a plan regarding enforcement and removal of camps. The Police Department also works with 5CHC on outreach to homeless individuals in these areas about services and housing.
Since March 2023, the Police Department has issued 75 citations related to the camping ordinance. Additionally, over 50 Public Works crew hours have been used to remove 25 truckloads of debris from public lands within the city. In addition, the City has contracted with debris hauling companies for debris removal and has spent $122,367 for these services and storage of personal property. On average, there are between zero and three campsites observed, contacted, and tagged each week within the city, which is down significantly from 30 to 40 camps prior to the ordinance. Most of these camps are located in areas not visible to the public.
The camping ordinance has been an effective tool in helping to maximize outreach while also helping to minimize the number and impacts of encampments within the city. While there are still periodic encampments in certain locations in the City’s open space areas, the extent of such encampments is significantly lower than before along with the number of complaints from residents, most notably in the El Camino Real area. The appearance of the City’s open space areas has also improved which points to a potential long-term opportunity for open space recreational access if funding for trail planning and development was available. In the near term, the Police Department will continue its successful implementation approach for the camping ordinance and will work with the Public Works Department on periodic cleanup work as warranted.
At this time, staff does not see a need for additional fencing along the open space area given the volume of activity and the cost of the type of fencing that could not be cut or scaled such as the fencing installed along Charles and Margarita avenues which cost approximately $30,000.
However, staff would recommend that the Council consider revising the noticing timeframe in the camping ordinance to decrease the amount of time to remove a campsite from 72 hours to 48 hours. The 72-hour period was consistent with federal case law at the time of ordinance adoption though this case law has since changed with the U.S. Supreme Court’s City of Grants Pass v.
Johnson decision which gives public agencies more latitude for removing encampments on public property. Requiring removal of a tagged campsite with a 48-hour period would enable the Police and Public Works departments to have a faster response to encampments and further the City’s goal of reducing the number and impacts of encampments within the city. This time period aligns with guidance from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness which recommends a minimum of 48 hours notice before encampments are removed. Pending Council direction, staff would bring an ordinance with this change to the Council at a later date.
Cabins for Change and Balay Ko on Barca Temporary Housing Facilities In December 2022, the “Cabins for Change” temporary emergency housing facility opened in Grover Beach. This 20-unit facility was developed and is operated by the 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) on County property at 1523 B Long Branch Avenue behind the County Health Agency campus. The facility includes bathing and bathroom facilities, administrative offices, communal spaces, and a storage area. The site is not a drop-in shelter but a reservation-based Staff Report: Homelessness Response Update Page 3
August 25, 2025
temporary housing facility with case management services and onsite facility management and security. The facility is intended to help clients find more permanent supportive housing within 90 days though more time may be needed in some cases. Subsequently, in July 2024 the “Balay Ko on Barca” temporary emergency housing facility opened at 955 South 4th Street providing another 30 housing units and similar level of management and monitoring as Cabins for Change. The development and initial operation of the facility was funded by the Balay Ko Foundation and the facility is located on City property leased to 5CHC for a 55-year period following the City’s purchase of this property with American Rescue Plan Act funding.
Below are key metrics of the Cabins for Change and Balay Ko on Barca facilities to date:
• 230 total participants with 108 participants (47%) from Grover Beach • 3.1 years was the average amount of time during which participants were unhoused before entering the program with 48% of participants being chronically homeless • 106 participants (58%) have graduated to housing
• Average length of stay upon exit is 191 days
• 181 participants connected to health insurance and health care services • 90% of participants have income: 23 are currently employed; 24 currently receive cash benefits (SSI, SSDI, Social Security)
• 585 individuals currently on the waitlist
These facilities are the first uses of small cabins as shelter sites in the county and the first temporary housing facilities of any kind in South County. The success of the initial Cabins for Change facility provided the impetus for 5CHC to create the Balay Ko on Barca site with 30 additional units. The City would continue to urge other communities throughout the county to expand the number of temporary housing units as more units countywide will be needed to provide sufficient housing for unhoused individuals. An example of this expansion is the “Welcome Home Village” in San Luis Obispo currently under construction which will provide 54 transitional housing units including 14 interim and 40 permanent units.
Future Challenges Affecting Homeless Response
The City has made substantial progress in addressing homelessness over time working diligently with 5CHC and other partner agencies including the County. The County has long prioritized homeless response as a County priority and adopted the San Luis Obispo Countywide Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness in April 2022. The plan identified 12-month, 3-year, and 5-year objectives to reduce the number of homeless individuals in the county by 50% over a five-year period. The first three years of this plan focus on sheltering capacity, homeless prevention, data sharing, and expanded case management, mental health, and substance abuse services along with improved regional coordination. The City is working with other cities and the County on ways to better identify and highlight actions in each jurisdiction to respond to homelessness and seek ways to improve collaboration on this issue throughout San Luis Obispo County.
However, the successful work of the City and partner agencies in addressing homelessness in Grover Beach has been predicated largely on one-time funding mostly from the State and Federal government along with County government and some City General Fund funding. This one-time funding has included Community Development Block Grant funding which the City has periodically received on behalf of 5CHC to support homeless services and prevention activities.

Multi-Year Goals
☒ Public Safety and Community Services ☒ Economic Development and Housing ☐ Community Infrastructure ☐ Financial and Organization Sustainability Council Priorities
☐ Water & Wastewater Infrastructure ☐ Community Engagement Going forward, ongoing funding will be needed to continue the operation of these temporary housing facilities though conversely funding for homeless services and housing continues to be reduced at both the state and federal level. As an example, the FY 2025-26 State budget does not include funding for the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program in FY 2025-26 given the State budget deficit and only appropriates $500 million in FY 2026-27 down from $1 billion in FY 2024-25. Recent federal budget reductions in housing and health and social services programs add to this funding uncertainty. The County Homeless Services Oversight Committee (HSOC) will continue its role in reviewing and determining funding and service priorities within San Luis Obispo County.
Lastly, staff would acknowledge that 5CHC Executive Director Janna Nichols has recently announced her retirement at the end of 2025. The 5CHC Board has selected Assistant Director Devon McQuade to serve as the new Executive Director. Ms. Nichols has done a tremendous job in her service as 5CHC Executive Director and the City will recognize her formally closer to her retirement date.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 13
Placement: Business
Meeting Date: 8/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Subsea Transoceanic Cables Update
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on installation and operation of subsea transoceanic cables in Grover Beach and the benefits of these cables from a revenue and economic development perspective.
BACKGROUND
Overview
For the past 25 years, there have been subsea transoceanic telecommunications cables located in Grover Beach which connect across the Pacific Ocean to Asia. These cables transmit highspeed data to the West Coast of the United States and enable data network connectivity between the U.S. and Asia. Similar to high-voltage power lines, customers cannot connect directly to these high-speed telecommunications cables as these cables provide the data backbone for electronic devices and networks to function effectively for residents and businesses.
Grover Beach is a location for subsea transoceanic cables given the city’s coastal location midway between the Bay Area and Los Angeles and between previously established National Marine Sanctuaries which affect the installation of such cables. Attachment 1 is a map showing existing and proposed subsea cables in Grover Beach. The first two subsea cables were installed in Grover Beach by Pacific Crossing in 2000 and connect to Japan and to Seattle. At the same time, the Pan-American Crossing cable was installed that connects to Mexico and other South American countries. Installation of these cables was a key foundation for development of a City Technology Master Plan in 2010. The cable landing site is located at the Pismo State Beach parking lot near Fin’s Restaurant and the cables are underground through City rights of way before terminating at a cable landing station building at 948 Huber Street in the industrial area. The City’s lease agreement with Pacific Crossing provides for $100,000 in annual revenue to the City.
Installation of Additional Subsea Cables
In 2020, RTI Infrastructure, Inc. (RTI) approached the City to propose installation of a conduit that would contain up to four additional fiber optic cables carrying telecommunications data between the United States and several Asian Pacific destinations including Singapore, Guam, Hong Kong, and Australia (shown in Attachment 2). The project-related work would be in both terrestrial (land) and marine (ocean) areas on and offshore of Grover Beach; therefore, there are multiple permitting agencies necessary to entitle the project including the California State Lands Commission, California Coastal Commission, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Staff Report: Subsea Transoceanic Cables Update Page 2
August 25, 2025
and the City. RTI has installed similar fiber optic cables throughout the state including in Hermosa Beach in Los Angeles County and Manchester in Mendocino County.
On August 24, 2020 the Council approved a Fiber Optic Cable Easement Agreement (Agreement) with RTI shown in Attachment 1 for construction, installation, and operation of telecommunication cables in the City’s rights-of-ways. The Planning Commission previously approved a Coastal Development Permit and Use Permit on June 24, 2020 for this installation contingent upon the Council’s approval of the Agreement. The City rights-of-way subject to this Agreement shown in Attachment 3 begin at the intersection of Brighton Avenue and Front Street, continuing east on Brighton Avenue, turning south on North 6th Street, turning west on Trouville Avenue, turning south on South 7th Street, crossing Farroll Road and terminating at the Pacific Crossing building.
From here, the telecommunications data accesses the broader telecommunications network to connect to major metropolitan areas including Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
The Agreement provides a non-exclusive easement for the fiber optic cables and an exclusive easement for the construction area. The term of the Agreement is 25 years beginning on the operational date of the first cable with two five-year extensions that may be exercised by RTI. For each cable installed, the City receives $100,000 upon the operational date of the cable thereafter the City receives $100,000 annually in quarterly installments beginning on the first anniversary date. Each subsequent fiber optic cable generates the same $100,000 per cable annually for a total of up to $400,000 annually in general revenues if all four cables are installed and operational.
The first cable under this Agreement (BtoBE) was installed by RTI in 2020 to connect from Singapore/Taiwan. However, this cable is not yet operational given unforeseen territorial issues with oceanic access near China and there is no time estimate for resolution. A second cable (JUNO) was installed in 2024 to connect from Japan and became operational on June 1, 2025.
As a result, the City has received its first initial payment of $100,000 from RTI and will receive $100,000 annually in quarterly installments beginning on June 1, 2026. A third cable (Bifrost) was also installed in 2024 to connect from Guam/Philippines and is going through final testing with operation expected this fall which triggers the second $100,000 payment to the City from RTI.
The Agreement between RTI and the City allows for up to four subsea cables with three cables installed with one currently or shortly operational and another with an unknown operation date.
RTI is considering installation of a fourth cable though there are additional complexities now with installing cables on the Central Coast given the new Chumash National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) located off the San Luis Obispo County coastline. The Chumash NMS is intended to enhance the protection of coastal resources though RTI and other firms involved in subsea cables are concerned about the impact of NMS regulations on existing and future subsea cables. RTI will share more information about these concerns at the Council meeting as well as further information about the history and future opportunities of subsea transoceanic cables.
Economic Development Opportunities
Lastly as part of this update, staff would highlight the economic development opportunities from installation of subsea transoceanic cables. While Grover Beach residents and businesses cannot directly connect with these cables as mentioned earlier, the operation of these cables helps consumers with faster and more responsive data networks. However, the growth of the subsea cable industry in having three initial cables located in Grover Beach in 2000 and expanding to up to four additional cables beginning in 2025 indicates the unique opportunity for Grover Beach to be a hub for international data connectivity. In addition to the annual revenue for cable operation, the City has received revenue for cable construction activities with long-term potential for economic activity related to servicing and maintaining these cables.

Multi-Year Goals
☐ Public Safety and Community Services ☒ Economic Development and Housing ☐ Community Infrastructure ☒ Financial and Organization Sustainability Council Priorities
☐ Water and Wastewater Infrastructure ☐ Community Engagement The location of the subsea cables in Grover Beach is also related to the work by Astound (previously Digital West) to install and offer citywide high-speed broadband fiber optic internet service to residents and businesses in Grover Beach. A citywide high-speed fiber optic network was ultimately a desired result of the Technology Master Plan from 2010. Astound is currently developing a communications facility in Grover Beach at 550 Farroll Road to support the company’s growth and expansion. Grover Beach is also home to Peak WiFi which provides wireless internet service throughout the area and is building a new 17,000 square feet industrial mixed-use headquarters at 305 Long Branch Avenue which will enable the firm to expand the number of jobs provided. The City will continue to work with these and other technology firms along with the South County Chambers of Commerce to further promote economic development opportunities related to technology in Grover Beach.

2.7 Non-Exclusivity and Non-Interference
Grantee acknowledges that the Cable Easement is non-exclusive. However, Grantor may not unreasonably interfere with the continued operation, maintenance of the RTI conduit and manholes and will notify RTI of any proposed crossing or parallel installation at least fifteen (15) calendar days (“Notice Period”) prior to any proposed installation unless installation is required due to an emergency. RTI shall notify City within the Notice Period if they object to the Grantors intention to place conduit, utility lines or any other structure or line within the subject easement and shall support with plans and specifications to the satisfaction of Grantor the basis for any contention there is an unreasonable interference with Grantees’ conduit. Grantor shall at its sole discretion determine whether there is an unreasonable interference with RTI’s conduit. Grantor shall be authorized to install any parallel or crossing installation if it reasonably determines there is no interference with RTI’s conduit.
2.8 Schedule and Liquidated Damages
Prior to commencement of construction of a Cable, Grantee shall provide to Grantor a schedule for construction of the Cable that is reasonably acceptable to Grantor. The schedule shall provide for ninety (90) calendar days between the Effective Date of each Cable and the date of commencement of construction for the Cable (the "Commencement Date"). Upon presentation of a proposed schedule to Grantor, Grantor shall have fifteen business days to review the schedule. Unless Grantor provides Grantee with written notice that the schedule is not acceptable within that fifteen-business day period, then the schedule hall be deemed accepted.
2.9 Future Landings
Prior to entering into any agreement with a local government to land any other underwater fiber optic cable system wholly owned by Grantee within Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counites, Grantee shall enter into a thirty (30) day good faith negotiating period with Grantor to attempt to negotiate an agreement with Grantor which would provide that Grantee shall land the fiber optic cable within the City of Grover Beach.
2.10 Effective Date
This Easement Agreement shall not become effective as to each particular Cable unless and until Grantee receives a Coastal Development Permit and any additional approvals and permits required from the California Coastal Commission, California Department of Parks and Recreation and all other United States federal, state and local approvals and permits required to construct and operate the Cable and Grantor and Grantee each accept the conditions imposed upon the permits by those agencies. The date on which this Easement Agreement becomes effective as to each Cable is referred to herein as the "Effective Date" for the Cable. As a point of clarification, the Agreement shall have four separate Effective Dates represented by the receipt by Grantee of the necessary permitting enumerated above for each individual Cable. Therefore, if the necessary permitting for a given Cable is not obtained sufficient to allow construction and installation of the Cable, this Agreement shall not become binding on Grantor or Grantee as to that specific Cable.
Upon obtaining all required United States federal, state and local approvals and permits and acceptance by Grantor and Grantee of the conditions contained in those approvals and permits as to the first Cable, the parties hereto shall record a notice designating the date upon which this Easement Agreement becomes effective as to the first Cable. The same shall apply to each and every other Cable subject to this Agreement.
2.11 System Operational Date
Each Cable will have its own System Operational Date. The "System Operational Date" of each Cable shall be that date at which the Cable is fully installed, the associated systemwide testing is completed, and the Cable is approved to carry commercial traffic. Grantee shall notify Grantor within thirty (30) days after the establishment of the System Operational Date.
2.12 Internal Conflicts
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of Section 2 and Section 4 of this Easement Agreement, the provisions of Section 2 shall prevail.
Section 3
DESCRIPTION OF CABLE EASEMENT AREA
3.1 Description of Cable Easement Area for the First Cable The first Cable will be the Bay to Bay Express Cable System. The description of its terrestrial easement areas hereunder are as follows (as also shown in the attached figure "Proposed Terrestrial Facilities."
Terrestrial Description:
The construction easement shall include the area defined below and all excavation, installation, pavement cutting, and associated disturbance of the existing finish surface or natural grade within the City Right of Way and any alley, street, roadway or other area within the City’s jurisdiction will be limited to the area described with the exception of additional width as necessary to accommodate the construction and location of the proposed manholes or as approved in writing by the City Engineer. The final easement for continued operation, maintenance, replacement, etc. of the cable installation shall be located within the same defined area as the construction easement except that it will not include the additional 2’ wide area as described below. The final easement will be described by a metes and bounds survey based on the as-built survey to be conducted withing the time period described elsewhere in this agreement and will include a scale drawing of the easement for City records.
Construction easement will be located as follows
Le Sage Drive: the easement shall be located within an area defined by the edge of pavement/lip of gutter (located 18” from the face of curb whether a gutter exists or not) of the southerly curb and a line parallel to the edge of pavement/lip of gutter located 2’ approximately north on a line perpendicular to the southerly curb which point describes the north edge of the easement except that an additional 2’ of width in the paved street area will be included within the construction easement to facilitate pavement cutting and installation of the conduits. Additional width will be allowed at manholes to allow the edge of the manhole to be located outside of the gutter where it exists or 18” from the curb face where no gutter exists. Conduits shall be located within and generally centered within the 2’ wide space between the edge of pavement and the line parallel to the edge of pavement and the top of the conduit shall be located no higher than 1’ below the bottom of any gravity sewer or storm drain main currently located, or identified to be located according to the adopted Sewer and Storm Drain Master Plans, within the street where the easement is being offered and either parallel or crossing the alignment of the cables. The additional 2’ wide construction easement, location of conduits within final easement and approval of extra width for installation of manholes applies to all remaining segments listed below.
Front Street: the easement shall be located within an area defined by a line extending west from and parallel to the edge of pavement/lip of gutter (located 18” from the face of curb whether a gutter exists or not) of the southerly curb on Brighton Avenue and a line extending west parallel to the edge of pavement/lip of gutter located 2’ approximately north on a line perpendicular to the southerly curb on Brighton Avenue which point describes the north edge of the easement.
