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.

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.

CITY OF GROVER BEACH
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 4
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: February 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2025 Update to the Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution to adopt the 2025 Update to the Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
BACKGROUND
In April 2017, the City of Grover Beach (“City”) agreed to participate in the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Planning (MJLHMP) process for the County of San Luis Obispo (“County”). The County served as the lead agency for development of a countywide hazard mitigation plan that included participation from 21 governmental agencies, including the County of San Luis Obispo, all municipalities and community services districts within the county, the flood control and water conservation district, and several sanitation districts. This collaborative, multi-jurisdictional approach allowed participating agencies to identify shared hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation priorities while also developing jurisdiction-specific actions. The City adopted the 2020 MJLHMP on June 22, 2020.
A MJLHMP is a long-range planning document intended to reduce or eliminate risks to life, property, and essential services from natural and human-caused hazards. It is a multijurisdictional plan that geographically covers people, property, and critical assets within the County’s jurisdictional boundaries. An MJLHMP identifies mitigation strategies and actions that the City may implement to lessen the impacts of potential future disasters, including but not limited to earthquakes, flooding, drought, extreme heat, stormwater, landslides, wildland fires, and hazardous materials incidents.
In accordance with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and implementing regulations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (44 CFR Part 2010), local jurisdictions must maintain a FEMA-approved LHMP in order to remain eligible for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation grant funding1 . FEMA requires that LHMPs be reviewed, updated, and re-adopted by participating jurisdictions at least once every five (5) years to maintain eligibility.
1 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, and other pre- and post-disaster funding opportunities.
Staff Report: 2025 Update Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 2 February 10, 2026
Plan Update Process
On July 27, 2023, the City submitted a letter of intent, along with 21 other jurisdictions, committing the City to the update effort. The County was awarded a Hazard Mitigation Grant to fund 75% of the update, with the remaining 25% to be provided as a local match allocated among participating jurisdictions based on population. The LHMP Update was prepared by WSP Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. (“WSP”), a global engineering firm. WSP was formally known as John Wood Group d.b.a. Wood, which is who developed the 2020 MJLHMP. The project was put out for a formal Request for Proposal by the County, and WSP was selected for the contract award.
Development of the MJLHMP process took place over the last two years, beginning October 30, 2024, and involved multiple meetings with the involved agencies as part of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC). City representatives from the Community Development, Public Works, Police, and Fire were involved as members. In addition to the HMPC meetings, the County conducted public outreach and engagement through two public workshops held on January 15, 2025, and May 29, 2025. The County also released a public survey resulting in over 200 responses, issued multiple press releases, website postings, flyer distributions, and public comments on the draft plan. Additional information regarding public outreach can be found in the MJLHMP2
.
Draft copies of the MJLHMP were submitted to the California Department of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and to FEMA for approval. On December 29, 2025, FEMA reported their approval of the MJLHMP (Attachment 3). The proposed update will supersede the 2020 LHMP. The Grover Beach LHMP Annex C is provided in Attachment 2.
2025 Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Grover Beach LHMP Annex C (Attachment 2) to the MJLHMP identifies the City’s primary hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation priorities for the 2025–2030 planning period. Key hazards of significance for the city include earthquake risk, drought and water shortage, and dam failure, with moderate to localized risks associated with flooding, coastal erosion and sea level rise, tsunami, wildfire, and severe weather events. As a largely built-out coastal community, vulnerability is shaped by infill development patterns, aging infrastructure, reliance on regional water supplies, and localized low-lying areas near Meadow Creek. While the City has limited exposure to wildfire and flood hazards relative to other jurisdictions, certain transportation and utility facilities, residential areas, and economic assets remain susceptible to seismic activity, prolonged drought, and long-term coastal impacts.
The updated annex confirms that overall hazard exposure has not substantially changed since the prior plan but emphasizes the importance of continued infrastructure investment, emergency preparedness, and integration of hazard mitigation strategies into the City’s planning documents and capital planning. The information contained within the Grover Beach LHMP Annex C, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by 2 https://www.slocounty.ca.gov/departments/administrative-office/office-of-emergency-services/formsdocuments Staff Report: 2025 Update Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 3 February 10, 2026
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 the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Public Works Department may utilize the hazard information when designing and implementing the City’s capital improvement projects, and the Planning and Building Divisions within the Community Development Department may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other type of development applications. The City will also incorporate this LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill 2140. Other opportunities include: the next Five-year Capital Improvement Plan, Local Coastal Program Update or General Plan Updates (Land Use Element).
The County will host annual meetings with the HMPC to track progress in implementation of the MJLHMP hazard mitigation actions and projects. This is intended to be a living document.
Changes, modifications, and improvements can be made in the future and additional hazard mitigation projects can be added as needs are identified, post emergency events. The County Office of Emergency Services (“County OES”) will maintain the master copy of the plan on the County OES webpage, available for public access2
.
FISCAL IMPACT
The MJLHMP total cost was $245,030; however, the County is pending a grant budget modification pending obligation for additional work that was required to incorporate the newly released fire hazard severity zone maps into the plan. The resulting cost of the plan is expected to be $312,135. Participation in this multijurisdictional effort allowed the County to apply for and receive a federal Hazard Mitigation Grant, which reduced costs by 75%. The remaining 25% was allocated among participating jurisdictions as a local match based on population. The City is required to contribute $1,875 which is funded in the City’s operating budget.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Adopt the Resolution to adopt the 2025 Update to the Grover Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; or
2. Provide alternative direction to staff
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

C.1.1 Mitigation Planning History and 2025 Process
This annex was updated in 2025 to build upon the previous version created for the 2019 San Luis Obispo Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) update. This 2025 Annex update also includes input from the previous versions of the Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City of Grover Beach, last completed in 2012, as well as the Lucia Mar Unified School District and South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District plans. A review of jurisdictional priorities found no significant changes in priorities since the last update.
The previous HMP was not incorporated into the city’s planning mechanisms as no opportunities arose during the plan update cycle. However, the city’s Local Planning Team (LPT) identified several upcoming opportunities for integration of the 2025 HMP, including the Local Coastal Program update and updates to elements of the General Plan.
The city’s LPT held responsibility for implementation and maintenance of the plan; members are noted below.

C.1.2 Geography and Climate
The City of Grover Beach is a coastal community located in the south county area of San Luis Obispo County. Grover Beach has wide sandy beaches with coastal dunes and is a gateway to Pismo State Beach and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreational Area. According to the city’s 2019 LHMP, Grover Beach has an average high temperature in the summer months of 76°F to 80°F and average low temperatures of 62°F to 65°F in the winter months. The hottest months are August and September, with average highs of 80°F. The jurisdiction receives 17.1 inches of rainfall in an average year. While the average temperature is relatively temperate, summer and winter months bring unique weather patterns to the region. Figure C-1 displays a map and the location within San Luis Obispo County of the City of Grover Beach planning area.

County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-4 C.1.3 History
On August 1, 1887, Dwight William Grover founded the Town of Grover after purchasing the land for $22,982.20 in gold from John Michael Price, the founder of Pismo Beach. Grover promoted his town as “the place where the tide lands and the rails meet” and had a vision of a community that had a hotel and a train station near the beach. Grover and his partner George Gates laid out a street grid pattern and promoted the community as Grover City, the “grandest summer and winter seaside resort on the Pacific Coast.” Development didn’t flourish in Grover City until 1935 when Horace V. Bagwell bought 1,100 acres and advertised Grover City as the “home of the average man” with land prices affordable to the working man. People and development began to happen and by the mid-1940s the first store opened in Grover City followed by the first post office. The Fair Oaks Fire District and the Grover City Water District were formed in 1949 and supported a boom in population throughout the 1950s. On December 21, 1959, the people of Grover City voted to incorporate and become the City of Grover City. In 1992, the city had become more established, and the residents of Grover City decided to rename the community to “Grover Beach”. By 1996 the train station Dwight William Grover dreamed of became a reality when Amtrak began rail service at a newly constructed Grover Beach Train Station.
C.1.4 Economy
Based on the 2018-2023 American Community Survey (ACS) Grover Beach’s labor force is estimated to be 6,892 people. The city’s economic base primarily consists of employees within educational services, health care and social services, which account for 18.8% of jobs. The second largest type of industry in the city is construction (15.3%) followed by arts, entertainment, and food services at 14.1% of employment. Unemployment has dropped from
3.6% in 2018 to 2.2% in 2023.

According to data extracted by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (2018-2023), the total population for the City of Grover Beach was estimated at 12,687 persons in 2023. This is down 6.3% since 2018. Note in Table C-5 that the city’s median household income ($114,044) is above both the county ($93,398) and the state ($96,334), although the median home price ($691,900) is slightly below average for the county ($777,200).
Note in Table C-5 that the city’s median household income ($114,044) is above both the county ($93,398) and the state ($96,334), although the median home price ($691,900) is slightly below average for the county ($777,200). The percentage of individuals living below the poverty level (12.7%) is similar to the County level (12.8%), and California as a whole (12%). The number of individuals who speak English less than “very well” is also between the county and state averages (5.8% and 17.3% respectively).
The LPT noted areas of improvement for outreach and partnerships could include monitoring vulnerable communities and functional needs populations during adverse weather. Elderly and disabled populations may have a more difficult time accessing emergency shelters, transportation, or being alerted to early warning systems. They also noted that those reliant on medical equipment are particularly vulnerable to power outages. There has been a 21.3% increase in the population with a disability as shown in Table C-5.

Grover Beach is a predominantly infill community. The opportunity for future expansion beyond city limits is limited. Future growth is focused on implementing the Housing Element to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), the West Grand Avenue corridor, and the Industrial area (focus on broadband infrastructure, precision manufacturing and job sector growth), with emphasis on higher density and affordable housing projects. Quality mixed use, infill housing and ADUs will continue to dominate residential development, especially in existing neighborhoods.
Development in or near the 100-year or 500-year floodplain will require FEMA compliance and floodplain management measures. Areas along Meadow Creek may be particularly vulnerable depending on the severity of the weather event. Limited areas of the city may be subject to liquefaction. A geotechnical analysis would be required in areas with unstable soil conditions for new development to ensure appropriate construction methods mitigate any risks.
Grover Beach has a limited Wildfire Urban Interface (WUI), with the latest state fire maps indicating designated wildfire severity areas are confined to land within or adjacent to state park boundaries. Any new development in these areas would be required to employ fire resistant construction materials and methods, along with strict compliance with applicable fire codes.
The following figures from the San Luis Obispo County Council of Governments (COG), 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County show the projected population and housing unit growth between 2010 and 2050. According to the COG’s document, the city’s population is projected to increase to over 15,000 residents by 2050. However, the population saw a 6.3% decrease from 2018 to 2023. The World Population Review indicates that most recent population numbers from 2024 have Grover Beach population at 12,495. This is a 1.5% decrease in population than what was recorded in the American Community Survey for 2023, which was 12,687. Although projections show an increase in population and housing units, recent data shows they might continue to decrease.

Grover Beach has experienced steady development over the past five years. Only recently has the city seen marked increase in residential development along West Grand Avenue for both market-rate and affordable housing. Residential projects have largely focused on infill opportunities, Accessory Dwelling Unit construction, and new multi-family development including a 53-unit 100% affordable housing project managed by People’s Self-help Housing, and three multi-unit housing projects that will result in 135 new market-rate units. Out of these 135 new market-rate units, three of them will be affordable units (low income to moderate income and deed restricted).
Commercial development in the city has trended toward tourism in the recent years. Two new hotels planned on El Camino Real are set to open in Summer of 2025 and 2026. Commercial low-lying areas may face flood risks; however, the city’s development standards require erosion and sedimentation control as well as drainage upgrades to improve resiliency to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Because of these factors, the city’s net vulnerability has not increased or decreased due to changes in development since the previous plan was approved for all hazards identified in Section C.3.3.

C.3 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess Grover Beach’s vulnerability separately from that of the county as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 5.3 Risk Assessment in the Base Plan. This vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk to Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-9 hazards ranked of medium or high significance that may vary from other parts of the planning area.
The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment was based on the previous LHMP for the city. A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Guide and associated worksheets was distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the 2025 update process. Information collected was analyzed and summarized to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and identify the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.
Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the Base Plan (See Table 5.2). However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional annex may vary slightly due to specific hazard risk and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction.
Identifying these differences helps the reader to differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County.
Note: The hazard “Significance” reflects overall ranking for each hazard and is based on the City of Grover Beach’s Planning Team member input from the Data Collection Guide and the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Chapter 5 of the Base Plan), which included a more detailed qualitative analysis with best available data.
C.3.1 Other Hazards
The following hazards identified in the base plan HIRA are not identified within this jurisdictional annex due to no risk or insignificant anticipated impacts and are not considered further for vulnerability assessment or mitigation actions:
x Adverse Weather: Hail and Freeze
x Adverse Weather: Extreme Heat
x Agricultural Pest Infestation, Plant Disease, and Marine Invasive Species x Biological agents
x Landslide and Debris Flow
x Subsidence
C.3.2 Assets at Risk
This section considers Grover Beach’s assets at risk, including values at risk, critical facilities and infrastructure, historic assets, economic assets, and growth and development trends.
C.3.2.1 Values at Risk
The following data on property exposure is derived from the San Luis Obispo County 2024 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline to overall values in the city as the information has some limitations. It is important to note that in the event of a disaster, it is generally the value of the infrastructure or improvements to the land that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss. The table below shows the exposure of properties (e.g., the values at risk) broken down by property type for the City of Grover Beach.

Route 1 serves as a two-lane arterial for the city and merges with Highway 101 north of the city. In addition to these major transportation routes adjacent to Grover Beach, the city also offers multi-modal transportation options for residents including bike lanes, bus routes and the Grover Beach Train Station. According to the City’s 2022 Safety Element Update the Grover Beach Train Station is listed as being vulnerable to earthquakes, flooding, wildfire and tsunami hazards. Other vulnerable city owned transportation and lifeline facilities were noted in the Safety Element with a combined value of nearly $50 million.
C.3.2.4 Historic and Cultural Resources
While the City of Grover Beach has no registered state or federal historic sites, there are several assets within Grover Beach that define the community and represent the city’s history. Many of the historical sites of importance to Grover Beach have been converted into different uses but the historic buildings still stand. In honor of the City’s 50th Anniversary a self-guided tour pamphlet was created and lists the following historic sites. x Grover Beach City Hall – 154 South 8th Street

Natural resources are important to include in benefit-cost analyses for future projects and may be used to leverage additional funding for projects that also contribute to community goals for protecting sensitive natural resources. The City of Grover Beach has designated areas on the coast as Coastal Open Space Zone; according to the City of Grover Beach Local Coastal Program (2014) this zone is designed to protect and preserve sensitive natural areas including but not limited to those containing significant habitat areas, rare or endangered plant and animal species, and erosion-prone lands. Awareness of natural assets and designated natural areas can lead to opportunities for meeting multiple objectives. For instance, protecting wetlands areas protects sensitive habitat as well as attenuates and stores floodwaters.
C.3.2.6 Economic Assets
Tourism and the industries that support tourists and tourism activities are one of the greatest economic assets in the City of Grover Beach. Additionally, the commercial cannabis industry has taken off and has become a critical economic asset for the city in terms of tax revenue. The city is located close to multiple destinations including Pismo State Beach, Oceano Dunes State Recreation Area, and the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge.
The LPT reviewed the economic strengths and competitive advantages listed in the City of Grover Beach Final Economic Development Strategy (April 11, 2017), and identified the following:
x Grover Beach is one of the few areas within the Southern SLO County area that has undeveloped industrial land, however these properties are quickly transforming into developed industrial and commercial holdings.
x Growth in commercial cannabis. The commercial cannabis industry has played a major role in the last few years in redeveloping properties, as well as new industrial construction within the undeveloped industrial zone. The city will continue to be a future “synergy” Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-12 location for commercial cannabis within San Luis Obispo County with testing labs, manufacturing, warehousing, and retail sales of commercial cannabis. x Transient occupancy tax revenue recovered quickly following the Great Recession.
Development of additional lodging facilities including the Springhill Suites, located at 950 El Camino Real, La Quinta Inn at 1598 El Camino Real, and the future Grover Beach Lodge at 55 West Grand Avenue will provide Grover Beach the opportunity to increase tourism to the community.
x Higher quality retail and food service establishments have entered the market and increased the city’s regional draw
x Grover Beach has a reputation as a business-friendly community with a local government that is easy to work with, compared to other communities.
C.3.3 Estimating Potential Losses
Note: This section details vulnerability to specific hazards of high or medium significance, where quantifiable, and/or where (according to Planning Team member input) it differs from that of the overall County.
Table C-8 above shows Grover Beach’s exposure to hazards in terms of number and value of structures. San Luis Obispo County’s parcel and assessor data was used to calculate the improved value of parcels. The most vulnerable structures are those in the floodplain (especially those that have been flooded in the past), unreinforced masonry buildings, and buildings built prior to the introduction of modern-day building codes. Impacts of past events and vulnerability to specific hazards are further discussed below. (See Section 5.1 for more detailed information about these hazards and their impacts on San Luis Obispo County as a whole.)
C.3.3.1 Adverse Weather: Thunderstorm/ Heavy Rain/ Lightning/ Dense Fog Adverse weather in the City of Grover Beach includes thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, and dense fog. The overall significance rating for these adverse weather hazards is rated as low. The entire property and facility inventory noted in Section C.3.2, as well as the population of the City, is exposed to the impacts of thunderstorm/heavy rain/lightning/dense fog due to the widespread nature of these hazards. The City of Grover Beach’s risk and vulnerability to adverse weather conditions does not differ significantly from that of San Luis Obispo County. The typical impacts to people, structures, and critical facilities/lifeline are discussed in Section
5.3.2.7 of the base plan. As a coastal city located along the southern portion of the county, Grover Beach is subject to many of same regional weather patterns particularly during storm seasons and transitional weather periods.
Similar to other areas in the county, Grover Beach is susceptible to impacts of heavy rainfall, which can overwhelm local drainage infrastructure, contribute to localized flooding- especially in low-lying areas- and create hazardous driving conditions. While thunderstorms and lightning are relatively rare, they can still pose safety risks to residents and strain electrical infrastructure when they occur. Dense fog is a common concern along the coast, particularly in the cooler months, often reducing visibility along roadways such as Highway 1 and nearby stretches of U.S. Highway 101, thereby increasing the risk of traffic-related incidents that can lead to property damage and injury or death.
C.3.3.2 Adverse Weather: High Wind and Tornado
The overall significance rating of high wind and tornado in the City of Grover Beach is rated low. The entire property and facility inventory, as well as the population of the city, is exposed to the impacts of high wind and tornado due to the widespread nature of this hazard. The typical impacts to people, structures, and critical facilities/lifeline are discussed in Section Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-13
5.3.3.7 of the base plan. The City has 38 mobile homes, which if unanchored, may be more susceptible to damage from high wind/tornado; an estimated 97 persons live in these homes based on an average household size of 2.54..Although tornadoes are rare in Grover Beach, high wind events can occur, especially during winter storms and atmospheric river events. February 7, 2024, the city faced an unusual weather occurrence of an EF-1 tornado. The path of the tornado originated in Pismo Beach, traversing approximately 0.7 miles through Grover Beach, and dissipated near Arroyo Grande. The aftermath of this tornado caused numerous trees being uprooted or snapped, some of which fell onto vehicles and power lines. Structural damage was reported across parts of the city, including commercial areas along Gran Avenue.
Critical services were also affected- facilities such as the Grover Beach Fire Department sustained damage to bay doors, while the Police Department experienced minor impacts from falling debris. Power outages were widespread, temporarily affecting over 1,600 residents.
C.3.3.3 Coastal Storm/Coastal Erosion/Sea Level Rise
The City of Grover Beach has an overall low significance rating for coastal storms, coastal erosion, and sea level rise hazards. The jurisdiction’s coastline is characterized by sandy beaches and low dunes that provide moderate protection from storm waves. However, active beach and dune erosion continues to impact low-lying recreation areas, commercial uses, and residential structures, including mobile home parks near the coast. Past events, such as severe winter storms, have caused damage to beach access infrastructure and highlight the ongoing vulnerability.
Recent sea level rise risk assessments indicate that portions of the city could be subject to future inundation from sea level rise and from the combination of sea level rise with a 1% annual chance coastal flood. While no critical facilities have been identified within the areas projected to be impacted under these scenarios, continued erosion and gradual inundation may affect private properties and public infrastructure over time. Future planning and shoreline management will be important to minimize impacts from sea level rise and coastal hazards.
Values at Risk
Table C-9 and Table C-10, below, show both properties inundated by seal level rise with and without the 1% annual chance flood at different scenarios, and also the improved value estimates. Based on the latest modeling, Grover Beach currently has no improved properties at risk under 25-centimeter or 75-centimeter sea level rise scenarios. However, under the 300- centimeter sea level rise scenario, 15 improved parcels would be impacted. These include commercial, industrial, mixed-use, multi-family residential, and single-family residential properties. When factoring in sea level rise combined with a 1% annual chance coastal flood, the number of at-risk properties increases significantly. Under the 300-centimeter sea level rise with 1% flood scenario, 38 improved parcels would be impacted, further increasing vulnerability across a range of property types, including mobile and manufactured homes.
The total improved value of properties at risk under the 300-centimeter sea level rise scenario is approximately $6.8 million. When combined with the effects of a 1% annual chance flood, the total improved value of properties exposed increases to approximately $13.4 million.
Commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential properties account for the majority of the value at risk under these combined scenarios. As sea level rise continues, even relatively moderate increases in flood elevation could expose critical sections of Grover Beach’s built environment to higher risks of damage, highlighting the need for proactive planning and shoreline management strategies.

Under the 300 cm sea level rise scenario, both with and without the presence of a 1% annual chance flood, Grover Beach has one critical facility at risk, classified under the Transportation FEMA lifeline. This consistent exposure across both conditions suggests the facility is located in a low-lying area highly susceptible to long-term coastal inundation. While no other lifeline sectors show vulnerability in these scenarios, the potential disruption to transportation infrastructure could have cascading effects on evacuation routes, emergency response, and community mobility if mitigation measures are not considered.
The maps below show extents for sea level rise scenarios with tidal inundation only and with the 1% annual chance flood, below

County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-17 C.3.3.4 Dam Incidents
The City of Grover Beach is downstream from the high-hazard Lopez Dam. Failure of the Lopez Dam would cause water to flow along Arroyo Grande Creek in a westerly direction, extending laterally approximately 3,000 feet in each direction of the centerline of the creek channel. The inundation would hit the nearby city of Arroyo Grande particularly hard, and extend into Grover Beach to a more limited extent. A total of 35 people and 101 structures in Grover Beach exist within the designated Lopez Dam inundation zone (Table C-11 and Figure C-6). Two critical facilities are located in the dam inundation zone (Table C-12), a train platform and a water treatment facility. See Appendix G for details of these facilities.
A failure of the Lopez Dam would also affect Highway 101 impeding or reducing flows of goods, people and resources into and out of Grover Beach and potentially impacting the entire region.
There have been no past dam incidents or failures in the jurisdiction of the City of Grover Beach. Refer to Section 5.3.8 Dam Incidents of the Base Plan for additional discussion on the potential impacts of dam incidents in the County.
This information was derived from the most recent dam inundation mapping, parcel, and critical facility data available to the County of San Luis Obispo. The Grover Beach planning team added the following comments related to dam failure and inundation hazards:
x Lopez Dam failure would result in overtopping of Arroyo Grande Creek which would cause a backwater condition in Meadow Creek extending to the north, primarily along Highway 1 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
x There are two facilities deemed critical to the City which are at risk from this flooding: The Train Station and the Front Street Sanitary Sewer Lift Station (Table C-12). x Grover Beach would be surrounded by flood waters and Highway 101 would be impassible at Oak Park Boulevard if the Lopez Dam were to cause inundation downstream, which would limit ingress/egress to Highway 101 to the northwest and significantly restrict access by emergency services from outside the city.

Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-20 C.3.3.5 Drought and Water Shortage
The City of Grover Beach currently relies on a combination of surface water from the Lopez Lake, groundwater from the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin, and local wells to meet its water needs. In the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, the City also explores additional sources, such as stormwater capture, recycled water programs, and potential desalination projects.
The City’s water system consists of four production wells, two of which are active, three welded steel storage tanks, one booster pump station, and 57 miles of water mains. The system is functional but aging, with ongoing investments needed in pipeline upgrades, wells, and pumping facilities. Water loss prevention and metering improvements are actively pursued to improve efficiency. Additionally, new water and storage treatment facilities may be necessary to accommodate growth and sustainability efforts.
The majority of water consumption is by residential properties. According to the San Luis Obispo Council of Government’s 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County (2017), the projected water demand in the City of Grover Beach is not expected to supply from 2015 to 2030, as shown in Figure C-8. The City of Grover Beach’s population is not expected to grow dramatically by 2035 and as a result the water demand is not projected to increase over the next 20 to 30 years.
Figure C-8 Projected Water Demand in Grover Beach, 2015 to 2030 Source: 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County, San Luis Obispo Council of Governments and Beacon Economics, June 2017
The City has consistently met 100% of its water demand, even during dry years, due to the availability of imported water and historical groundwater production. There is no historical basis for reducing supply reliability based on single or multiple dry years. However, future water reliability will depend on groundwater conditions, Lopez Reservoir levels, and the effects of climate change.
The Low Reservoir Response Plan Diversion Reduction Strategy assessed water reliability for five consecutive dry years, assuming reductions of 0%-35% in successive years. Over the last 50 years, Lopez Reservoir has never reached a level requiring a 20% reduction in municipal diversions. The City expects to maintain an 800 acre-feet (AF) allocation from the reservoir for the next 20 years and will need to increase groundwater pumping to meet future demands.
Table C-13 outlines projected supply and demand through 2045 under multiple dry year scenarios.

Source: City of Grover Beach 2020 Urban Water Management Plan The returned 2020 Data Collection Guide from the City of Grover Beach Planning Team noted that due to the region’s water supply being served by a mix of reservoir and pumped well water, state-wide droughts in California have led to regional impacts, including watering restrictions that have led to landscaping on many properties to die, increasing the risk of wildfire for some properties. Property damages are normally not associated with drought.
C.3.3.6 Earthquake
The City of Grover Beach is vulnerable to various types of seismic hazards including fault rupture, ground shaking and liquefaction. The Wilmar Avenue fault is the only mapped fault near the City of Grover Beach. The fault runs along the northern portion of the City limits. The Wilmar Avenue fault is exposed in the sea cliff near Pismo Beach and buried portions are generally aligned along the Highway 101. The fault is considered potentially active and a moderate fault rupture hazard to the City of Grover Beach.
In addition to the Wilmar Avenue fault there are a number of active and potentially active faults in proximity of the Grover Beach that are capable of producing strong ground shaking within the City limits. According to the Technical Background Report of the County Safety Element (1999), the San Andreas fault and the offshore Hosgri fault present the most likely sources of ground shaking for Grover Beach. The following table from the Technical Background Report and recreated for the 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan, show the potential sources of ground shaking and approximate distance from Grover Beach.

County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-25 C.3.3.7 Flood
The City of Grover Beach has been assigned a Low Significance ranking for flood hazards by the HMPC. While widespread flooding is uncommon, the city experiences localized flooding in specific areas following heavy rainfall events. The greatest flood risks are associated with Arroyo Grande Creek and Meadow Creek, which can overtop and cause flooding in the northern and western parts of the city. Notably, Meadow Creek flooding has historically blocked roads, impacting access to and from neighborhoods in these areas.
According to the City's Safety Element, the northern portion of the city near U.S. 101 and Nacimiento Avenue, which includes a mobile home subdivision, is particularly vulnerable to a 1% annual chance flood event. The South Grover Beach and West Grover Beach neighborhoods are also prone to flooding. In addition, certain low-lying parcels, such as those at South 5th Street and Manhattan Avenue, and 6th Street and Mentone Avenue, have documented flood risks during intense storm events.
Recent flood-related impacts include the January 9, 2023 atmospheric river event, which caused significant roadway damage and power outages near Nacimiento Avenue. Although no major property losses were reported, the city received federal and state disaster funding to support recovery efforts.
Grover Beach continues to implement mitigation strategies to address localized flood risks, including drainage improvements and participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). As climate patterns shift and intense weather events become more frequent, the city will need to remain proactive in maintaining stormwater systems, updating development standards, and ensuring that vulnerable areas near Meadow Creek and other flood-prone zones are resilient against future events.
Values at Risk
Table C-16 and Table C-17 show the properties at risk to flooding in the City based on mapped floodplains and parcels with improvements intersecting the flood hazard areas. As with previous assessments, it is important to note that structures elevated above base flood elevations may be less vulnerable to damage.
Based on this updated analysis, the City has moderate assets at risk to the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods. Within the 1% annual chance floodplain, there are 8 improved parcels with a total value of approximately $707,000 and an estimated potential loss of about $177,000.
Within the 0.2% annual chance floodplain, there are an additional 8 improved parcels valued at roughly $508,000, with an estimated potential loss of about $127,000 Annex C: City of Grover Beach

Using parcel data from the County and the digital flood insurance rate map, and applying an average household size of 2.47 persons, the population at risk in the City of Grover Beach is estimated as follows:
x 1% annual chance flood: 20 people
x 0.2% annual chance flood: 17 people
x Total population at risk: 37 people
Insurance Coverage, Claims Paid, and Repetitive Losses
The City joined the NFIP on August 1, 1984. The current effective map is dated June 6, 2024. As of May 12, 2025, NFIP records show 13 active flood insurance policies in the City, totaling $4,199,000 in coverage. Of these, one policy is in an A zone, and the rest are in B, C, or X zones.
Since joining the NFIP, the City has recorded 7 flood loss claims totaling $45,397, all for residential properties. According to the OpenFEMA dataset accessed in 2024, the City currently has no Repetitive Loss (RL) or Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) properties.
The City does not currently participate in the Community Rating System (CRS).
Critical Facilities at Risk
The City has no identified critical facilities located within the 1% annual chance floodplain.
Based on the updated analysis, there is one critical facility located within the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. This facility falls under the Transportation sector and may be vulnerable during major flooding events. While the overall number of critical facilities at risk remains low, protecting transportation infrastructure is essential for maintaining emergency access and community connectivity during flood events.
C.3.3.8 Tsunami
Tsunami inundation poses a risk to all coastal communities in the San Luis Obispo County.
Offshore faults and related seismic activity could cause a tsunami event off the coast of Grover Beach, even if the faults are thousands of miles away. Grover Beach’s wide beaches and coastal dunes in general provide some protection to the developed areas of the city from coastal hazards, although the low-lying areas where Meadow Creek meets the ocean is considered to be at moderate risk of tsunami hazards. Figure C-11 below displays areas of Grover Beach that are vulnerable to tsunami hazards.

Source: San Luis Obispo Assessor Data November 15, 2024, California Geological Survey, Dept. of Conservation, WSP GIS Analysis Based on this analysis there are 255 structures with a combined value of over $146.5 million vulnerable to the impacts of a tsunami. Of the properties at risk, 87 are residential properties (including mobile/manufactured homes) totaling $31.5 million in estimated value. There are 86 commercial properties exposed to tsunami inundation as well, an increase from 64 commercial properties identified in the previous plan, as well as 41 industrial properties. This represents approximately 32% of the commercial properties in the city and 72% of industrial properties in the city. In addition to the monetary damages that would be associated with the loss of these properties, a major tsunami could cripple the city’s employment and tourism bases, resulting in longer lasting economic impacts to the population.

County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-30 There are three identified critical facilities located in the inundation zone in Grover Beach, one each from the Hazardous Materials, Transportation, and Water Systems FEMA Lifeline Categories. The area along Highway 1 is also expected to be in the tsunami inundation zone, which would have cascading impacts on people attempting to evacuate. The LPT noted that Grover Beach swells with beachgoing tourists including an estimated 10,000 to 40,000 visitors to the Oceano Dune State Park on a busy summer weekend or holiday; these visitors may not be familiar with the risk posed by tsunamis or the local geography and safe areas of refuge.
Refer to Section 5 of the Base Plan for additional information related to the past tsunami events and analysis on future vulnerability.
C.3.3.9 Wildfire
The overall significance rating for wildfire in Grover Beach is rated low. This is due to the Central Coast location of the planning area, which has a coastal climate, bringing cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and frequent marine layer influence. Historically, there have been minimal wildfire incidents near Grover beach and direct impacts to people and property are not anticipated. Despite the low overall risk, the city remains indirectly vulnerable to smoke impacts and evacuation challenges due to wildfires in nearby inland regions.
C.3.3.10Hazardous Materials
The City of Grover Beach LPT rated hazardous materials incidents as having low overall significance. The Cal OES Spill Release Reporting Center reports 16 hazardous materials incidents in the City of Grover Beach from January 1st, 2019 through December 20th, 2024. This likely excludes a number of unreported minor spills. The reported incidents constitutes 3.53% of the hazardous materials incidents reported countywide during the same time frame and averages out to roughly 2.66 incidents per year.
C.4 Capability Assessment
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into six sections: regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, mitigation outreach and partnerships, participation in the National Flood Insurance Program and other mitigation efforts.
To develop this capability assessment, the jurisdictional planning representatives used a matrix of common mitigation activities to inventory which of these policies or programs were in place.
The team then supplemented this inventory by reviewing additional existing policies, regulations, plans, and programs to determine if they contributed to reducing hazard-related losses.
During the plan update process, this inventory was reviewed by the jurisdictional planning representatives and WSP consultant team staff to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Grover Beach’s capabilities are summarized below.

C.4.1.1 Discussion on Existing Building Codes, Land Use and Development Regulations
Grover Beach has an adopted General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Recently, the city updated its Development Code (Zoning Ordinance, 2021) and additional revisions were adopted locally in 2024. Those revisions will be considered by the California Coastal Commission in Summer 2025. The Development Code regulates development within the community. The Community Development Department is responsible for implementing the General Plan, LCP, and Development Code. Chapter 5 of the Development Code, implemented predominantly by the Public Works Department, maintains “Site Development Standards” relating to Flood Hazards, Grading and Drainage, Stormwater and Post-Construction Management. In the event a situation falling under the term “emergency” occurs in the Coastal Zone, Chapter 6 (Section 6.20.050) outlines procedures for issuance of an “Emergency Coastal Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-32 Development Permit.” Additionally, the Building Code is updated with each California Building Code cycle. The next cycle is scheduled to be updated beginning in July 2026.

The LPT noted that Grover Beach participated in the previous MJHMP update and will continue to be a partner with the County of San Luis Obispo and the other six cities in efforts to address hazard mitigation and climate adaptation efforts.
C.4.5 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
The City of Grover Beach has been an NFIP participating community since 1984. In the City of Grover Beach, the Public Works Director is designated as the Floodplain Administrator (FPA).
Local floodplain management regulations are actively implemented and enforced by the Public Works Director to regulate and permit development within Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). This includes reviewing construction and land use permits to confirm compliance with elevation, structural, and zoning requirements aimed at reducing flood risk to properties and residents. Grover Beach also consistently adopts the latest effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) provided by FEMA, updating local floodplain management practices to align with newly identified flood risks. This helps to ensure the community is aware of the most recent flood hazard data for planning and development purposes.
Following flood or other damage events, the City of Grover Beach enforces substantial improvement/substantial damage provisions by evaluating damaged properties to determine if they meet thresholds requiring them to comply with updated floodplain management standards. If substantial damage is determined, properties must undergo upgrades to meet current floodplain standards before they can be repaired or rebuilt. This process helps to reduce future risk by ensuring that post-event repairs and reconstructions contribute to longterm flood resilience. The city does not participate in the NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS). More information about the city’s participation is found in Table C-23 below.

up to date and reflects new or revised flood
hazard mapping.
C.4.6 Other Mitigation Strategies
Grover Beach has multiple city plans that have helped to inform hazard mitigation and resource management.
2020 Conservation and Open Space Element
The Conservation and Open Space Elements of the General Plan are two of the seven Statemandated elements of the General Plan. State law requires the Conservation Element address topics such as water, floodwater, rivers and soils while the Open Space Element is required to address natural resources, outdoor recreation, and tribal resources. 2019 Sewer Master Plan
The purpose of the Sewer Master Plan was to evaluate the City of Grover Beach existing sewer collection system and identify necessary capital improvements to serve customer sewer flows over a 30-year planning horizon.
2019 Water System Master Plan
Similar to the Sewer Master Plan, the Water System Master Plan was created to evaluate the existing water distribution system and identify necessary capital improvements over a 30-year planning horizon. The capital improvement program was developed to identify improvements necessary to correct hydraulic deficiencies in the existing system. It will also identify improvements needed to meet the demands of new development.
Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-36 C.4.7 Opportunities for Enhancement
Future improvements may include providing training for staff members related to hazards or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with the County and Cal OES. Additional training opportunities will help to inform city staff members on how best to integrate hazard information and mitigation projects into their departments. Continuing to train city staff on mitigation and the hazards that pose a risk to the City of Grover Beach will lead to more informed staff members who can better communicate this information to the public. Become a Storm Ready or Tsunami Ready community would also be a potential enhancement.
C.5 Mitigation Strategy
C.5.1 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
During the 2025 Planning Process the Grover Beach Planning Team reviewed the mitigation goals and objectives from the 2019 LHMP and determined the existing number and intent of the goals and objectives continue to be appropriate, and no revisions or additions were necessary.

Annex C: City of Grover Beach
County of San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | City of Grover Beach | 2025-2030 Annex C-44 C.6 Implementation and Maintenance
Moving forward, the City will use the mitigation action table in the previous section to track progress on implementation of each project. As illustrated in Section 7.3.1 of the Base Plan, much progress has been made since the plan was originally developed. Implementation of the plan overall is discussed in Section 7 in the Base Plan.
C.6.1 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the city to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Public Works Department may utilize the hazard information when designing and implementing the City’s capital improvement projects, and the Planning and Building Divisions within the Community Development Department may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other type of development applications. The city will also incorporate this LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill (AB) 2140. Other opportunities include: the next Five-year Capital Improvement Plan, Local Coastal Program Update (tentative to 2026 calendar year) or General Plan Updates (Land Use and Safety Element).
As described in Section 8 Implementation and Monitoring, the LPT representatives from Grover Beach will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual HMPC plan review meeting.
C.6.2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Updating the Plan
The city will follow the procedures to monitor, review, and update this plan in accordance with San Luis Obispo County as outlined in Section 8 of the Base Plan. The City will continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 8.3 of the Base Plan. The Chief of Police will be responsible for representing the city in the County HMPC, and for coordination with city staff and departments during plan updates. The City realizes it is important to review the plan regularly and update it every five years in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements as well as other State of California requirements.

All mandatory requirements associated with 44 CFR 201.6 for local hazard mitigation plans have been met and the plan is eligible for final approval, pending its adoption by San Luis Obispo County and its planning participants. Formal adoption documentation must be submitted to FEMA Region 9 within one calendar year from the date of this letter.
FEMA’s review did identify the need for a revision in the dam safety section to fulfill the eligibility requirements for the Rehabilitation of the High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) grant program, which is outlined in the enclosed Plan Review Tool. This revision is considered optional and is only required to maintain eligibility for the HHPD program.
Please note that while local hazard mitigation plans may include additional content to meet Element H: Additional State Requirements or other local objectives, FEMA’s Approvable Pending Adoption (APA) status does not constitute review or approval of any content exceeding FEMA’s mitigation planning requirements.
If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 9 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Alison Kearns
Planning and Implementation Branch Chief

SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 50 (Water) of Title V (Public Works) of the Grover Beach Municipal Code to Add Sections 50.030 through 50.039 pertaining to Cross Connection Controls and Inspections
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce and conduct the first reading, by title only, of an Ordinance to Amend Chapter 50 (Water) of Title V (Public Works) of the Grover Beach Municipal Code (GBMC) to add sections
50.030 through 50.039 pertaining to Cross Connection Controls and inspections and schedule the second reading, public hearing and adoption of the Ordinance for the next regularly scheduled meeting.
BACKGROUND
A cross-connection is a physical connection in a water distribution system between the potable drinking water supply and any non-potable source, which can pose a risk of contamination under certain conditions. On December 19, 2023, the State Water Board adopted the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) which took effect on July 1, 2024, and replaces the crossconnection control regulations found in California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 17. The primary objective of the CCCPH is the protection of public health through the establishment of standards intended to ensure drinking water supplies are protected from hazards associated with the backflow of unknown substances into the distribution system. Beginning July 1, 2026, all California public water systems are required to comply with the requirements in the CCCPH.
Over time, evolving regulatory requirements and best practices have prompted the development of the attached updated Cross-Connection Control Plan (Plan). The previous Plan is superseded by the new 2025 version which reflects current industry standards and local program needs. The Grover Beach Municipal Code currently does not contain specific provisions addressing crossconnection control or inspection requirements. By adopting the Ordinance with its full regulatory code that implements the requirements from the State Water Board, the City will formalize its authority to administer and enforce the Cross-Connection Control Program, ensuring continued compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements for potable water systems.
The adopted Ordinance and updated Cross-Connection Control Policy will enhance long-term protection of the City’s drinking water supply and safeguard public health within the community.
In addition, it will improve program clarity, operational efficiency, and transparency in the Staff Report: Adoption of the 2025 Cross-Connection Control Plan Page 2 February 10, 2026
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 inspection, testing, and enforcement processes. The second reading and public hearing for this Ordinance will be scheduled for February 23, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
All program costs (inspection, permitting, testing and tracking) will continue to be recovered through existing water service fees and backflow prevention program fees. No new expenditures or unfunded mandates are associated with this action.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Introduce and conduct the first reading, by title only, of an Ordinance to Amend Chapter 50 (Water) of Title V (Public Works) of the Grover Beach Municipal Code (GBMC) to add sections 50.030 through 50.039 pertaining to Cross Connection Controls and inspections and schedule the second reading, public hearing and adoption of the Ordinance for the next regularly scheduled meeting; or
2. Do not introduce and conduct the first reading of the Ordinance; or
3. Provide alternate direction to staff.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

Section 50.030 - Purpose.
The purpose of this subchapter is:
A. To protect the public water supply against actual or potential cross-connections by isolating within the premises contamination or pollution that may occur because of some undiscovered or unauthorized cross-connection on the premises; B. To eliminate existing connections between drinking water systems and other sources of water that are not approved as safe and potable for human consumption; C. To eliminate cross-connections between drinking water systems and other sources of water or process water used for any purpose whatsoever which jeopardizes the safety of the drinking water supply;
D. To prevent the making of cross-connections in the future; E. To encourage the exclusive use of public sources of water supply; and F. To protect the drinking water supply within the premises where plumbing defects or crossconnections may endanger the drinking water supply available on the premises.
It is the intent of this subchapter to recognize that there are varying degrees of hazard and to apply the principle that the degree of protection should be commensurate with the degree of hazard.
Section 50.031 - Definitions.
(A) For the purpose of this subchapter, the following words and phrases are defined, and shall be construed as hereinafter set out, unless it is apparent from the context that they have a different meaning:
AIRGAP SEPARATION. A physical break between a supply pipe and a receiving vessel.
The airgap shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe, measured vertically above the top rim of the vessel, in no case less than one inch; APPROVED CHECK VALVE. A check valve meeting the specifications and approval of a recognized, approved testing agency for backflow prevention assemblies; APPROVED DOUBLE CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY. An assembly of at least two independently acting approved check valves, including tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check valve assembly and suitable leak detector drains, plus connections available for testing the water tightness of each valve. The entire assembly shall be made in the factory of the manufacturer and shall meet the specifications and approval of a recognized, approved testing agency for backflow prevention assemblies. To be approved, these assemblies must be readily accessible for maintenance testing;
APPROVED REDUCED PRESSURE PRINCIPLE BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE.
A device approved by a recognized and approved testing agency for backflow prevention assemblies. The entire assembly shall be made in the factory of the manufacturer and shall incorporate two or more check valves and an automatically operating differential relief valve located between the two checks, two shut-off valves, and equipped with necessary appurtenances for testing. The assembly shall operate to maintain the pressure in the zone - 3 -
between the two check valves less than the pressure on the public supply side of the assembly.
At cessation of normal flow, the pressure between check valves shall be less than the supplied pressure. In case of leakage of either check valve, the differential relief valve shall operate to maintain this reduced pressure by discharging to the atmosphere. When the inlet pressure is two pounds per square inch or less, the relief valve shall open to the atmosphere, thereby providing an airgap in the assembly. To be approved, these assemblies must be readily accessible for maintenance and testing and installed in a location where no part of the valve will be submerged;
APPROVED WATER SUPPLY. Any water supply approved by or under the supervision of a public health agency of the State of California, the County of San Luis Obispo, or the City of Grover Beach;
AUXILLIARY WATER SUPPLY. Any water supply on or available to the premises other than the approved public potable water supply. These auxiliary waters may include, but are not limited to, water from another purveyor's public potable water supply or any natural source, such as a well, spring, river, stream, harbor, etc., or “used water” or “industrial fluids”; CONSUMER. The owner of a premises having a service from a potable water system; CONTAMINATION. An impairment of the quality of the water to a degree which creates an actual hazard to public health through poisoning or through the spread of disease; CROSS-CONNECTION or CROSS-CONNECTED. As used in these regulations, means any real or potential connection between any part of a public water system or other water system supplying potable water to members of the public and any auxiliary water supply, or any source or system containing water or any substance that is not or cannot be approved as safe, wholesome, and potable for human consumption;
COUNTY. The Environmental Health Services Division of the Public Health Department of the County of San Luis Obispo;
DEPARTMENT. The Public Works Department of the City of Grover Beach; HEALTH HAZARD. An actual or potential threat of contamination of a physical or toxic nature to the public potable water system to such a degree of intensity that there would be a danger to health;
INDUSTRIAL FLUIDS. Any fluid or solution which may be chemically, biologically, or otherwise contaminated or polluted in a form or concentration, such as would constitute a health, system, pollution, or plumbing hazard if introduced into the water supply. This may include, but is not limited to, polluted or contaminated used waters; all types of processed waters and “used waters” originating from the public potable water system, which may deteriorate in sanitary quality; chemicals in fluid form; acids and alkalis; circulating cooling waters connected to an open cooling tower and/or cooling waters that are chemically or biologically treated or stabilized with toxic substances; contaminated natural waters, such as from wells, springs, streams, rivers, bays, harbors, seas, irrigation canals or systems, etc.; oils; gases; glycerin; paraffines; caustic and acid solutions; and other liquid and gaseous fluids used in industrial or other processes or for fire-fighting purposes;
PLUMBING HAZARD. A plumbing type cross-connection in a consumer’s potable water system that has not been properly protected by a vacuum breaker, airgap separation, or other assembly or device. The term “plumbing hazard” includes, but is not limited to, crossconnections to toilets, sinks, lavatories, wash trays, domestic washing machines, and lawn sprinkling systems;
- 4 -
POLLUTION. An impairment of the quality of the water to a degree which does not create an actual hazard to the public health, but which does adversely affect such waters for domestic use;
POLLUTION HAZARD. An actual or potential threat to the physical properties of the public water system or the potability of the public water supply, but which would not constitute a health or system hazard, as defined;
PURVEYOR. Any person, corporation, public utility, municipality, district, or other agency or institution furnishing or supplying water for domestic purposes; SERVICE CONNECTION. The terminal end of a service connection from the public potable water system, i.e., where the water purveyor loses jurisdiction and sanitary control over the water at its point of delivery to the consumer’s water system. If a meter is installed, then the service connection shall mean the downstream end of the meter. There should be no unprotected take-offs from the service line ahead of any meter or backflow prevention device located at the point of delivery to the consumer’s water system; SYSTEM HAZARD. An actual or potential threat of severe damage to the physical properties of the public potable water system; and
WATER SUPERVISOR. The consumer, or a person on the premises appointed by the consumer who is charged by the consumer with the responsibility to the consumer of maintaining the consumer’s water system free from cross-connections and other sanitary defects, as required by regulations and laws. A certified backflow prevention assembly tester may not act as a water supervisor unless he is a full-time employee of the consumer and has the day-to-day responsibility for the installation and use of pipelines and equipment on the premises and for the avoidance of cross-connections.
(B) Words and phrases not defined in this code are construed according to the approved usage of the language, or, when appropriate, by reference to definitions contained in state or federal law.
Section 50.032 - Consumer Responsibility.
Consumers shall be responsible for the installation and use of pipelines and equipment for the avoidance of cross-connections, compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and for reporting to the Department any changes in water usage. In the event of any cross-connection existing or occurring on or within the premises, the Department shall be immediately notified by the consumer so that appropriate corrective measures may be taken.
Section 50.033 - Where Protection is Required.
A. The Department will conduct an initial hazard assessment of the user premises within its service area to identify actual or potential cross-connection hazards, degree of hazard, and any backflow protection needed.
B. The County will determine the necessity of backflow prevention devices at each service connection from the public water system for supplying water to premises having an auxiliary water supply for protection against backflow of water from the premises into the public water system.
C. Each service connection from the public water system for supplying water to premises on which any substance is or may be handled in such a fashion as to permit entry into the - 5 -
water system shall be evaluated to protect against backflow of the substance from the premises into the public system. This shall include the handling of processed waters and waters originating from the public water supply system which have been subject to deterioration in sanitary quality.
D. Backflow prevention assemblies shall be installed on the service connection to any premises that have cross-connections and the County determines necessary. After the County’s initial testing, it shall be the responsibility of the consumer to provide, test, and maintain protective assemblies as required.
Section 50.033.1 - Type of Protection.
The protective assembly required shall depend on the degree of hazard. In determining the degree of hazard and the type of backflow prevention to be required, the following criteria shall be used:
A. An airgap separation shall be used where there is a health hazard. The airgap shall be located as close as practicable to the meter and all piping between the meter and the receiving tank shall be entirely visible. If these conditions cannot reasonably be met, the public water supply shall be protected with an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly, providing the alternative is acceptable to the Department; B. An airgap separation or a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly shall be used where there is a system hazard or a plumbing hazard or any combination of the above. If an airgap separation is used, the airgap shall be located as close as practicable to the meter and all piping between the meter and receiving tank shall be entirely visible.
Where there is no meter, the protective assembly shall be located on the service connection pipeline at a point on the consumer’s property nearest the public water supply pipeline;
C. In all other cases of cross-connection, there shall be required a double-check valve assembly;
D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, at the service connection to any sewage treatment plant, sewage pumping station, or storm water pumping station, the public water supply shall be protected by an airgap separation. The airgap shall be located as close as practicable to the meter and all piping between the meter and receiving tank shall be entirely visible. If these conditions cannot be reasonably met, the public water supply shall be protected with an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly, providing this alternative is acceptable to the Department.
Final decision in this matter shall rest with the State Department of Public Health; and E. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, on any premises where the Environmental Health Services Division determines that a special hazard exists, the public water supply shall be protected by such approved backflow prevention assembly as designated by the Environmental Health Services Division. - 6 -
Section 50.034 - Frequency of Inspection.
It shall be the duty of the consumer on any premises on which backflow protective assemblies are installed to have competent inspections made upon installation, and at least once a year thereafter, or more often in those instances where successive inspections indicate defective operation. These assemblies shall be repaired, overhauled, or replaced at the expense of the water user whenever they are found to be defective. Records of such tests, repairs, and overhaul shall be kept and submitted to the Department.
Section 50.035 - Inspector – Qualification and Certification.
A. No person shall be qualified to inspect and maintain backflow prevention assemblies unless his/her qualifications have been established to the satisfaction of the County of San Luis Obispo Environmental Health Services Division, as set forth in this section. To determine the qualifications of any person to inspect and maintain backflow prevention assemblies, the Department shall require documentation of a current American Water Works or American Backflow Prevention Association certificate or other approved certifying agency certificate be submitted. Such certification shall be submitted to the Department along with a current report of calibration of their test gauge equipment. The Department shall make available to consumers, a list of persons qualified to inspect and maintain backflow prevention assemblies. Qualified testers shall be issued a County of San Luis Obispo tester identification (I.D.) card, and such identification shall be kept in the immediate possession of every qualified tester while said qualified tester is inspecting or maintaining any backflow prevention assembly in the County of San Luis Obispo.
B. Every person desiring to qualify to inspect or maintain backflow prevention assemblies shall make application to the County.
C. Every person holding a County of San Luis Obispo tester I.D. card issued by the County pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter shall be required to renew their I.D. card every three years. The requirements for reexamination may be waived at the discretion of the County.
D. Every person receiving a County of San Luis Obispo tester I.D. card pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter shall be responsible for the competency and accuracy of all inspections and maintenance performed by him or her on any backflow prevention assembly.
E. Any person issued a County of San Luis Obispo tester I.D. card who violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of this subchapter or willingly falsifies inspection or maintenance reports submitted to the Department shall, in addition to the penalties prescribed in Chapter 37 of the Grover Beach Municipal Code, have the tester I.D. card immediately revoked, and shall not be considered for recertification for a period of two years.
Section 50.036 - Booster Pump Regulation.
When it becomes necessary, because of low pressure or special operating conditions, to install a booster pump on the service of any premises, such pump shall be equipped with a low- - 7 -
pressure cutoff switch designed to shut off the pump when the pressure on the inlet side is twenty-five pounds per square inch gauge or lower. It shall be the duty of the consumer to maintain the cut-off assembly in proper working order, and to certify to the Department at least once a year that the assembly is operable.
Section 50.037 - Protection of Water Systems Within Premises.
A. Whenever the Department determines that drinking water systems on a premises cannot be protected against entry of water from any piping system, equipment or other source not safe or potable for human use, an entirely separate drinking water system shall be installed to supply water at convenient points.
B. Water systems for fighting fire, derived from a supply that cannot be approved as safe or potable for human use shall, wherever practicable, be kept wholly separate from drinking water pipelines and equipment. In cases where the domestic water system is used for both drinking and firefighting purposes, approved backflow prevention assemblies shall be installed to protect such individual drinking water lines as are not used for firefighting purposes. The users of such drinking water systems shall be further protected as prescribed by the State and County Health Departments.
C. Potable water pipelines connected to equipment for industrial processes or operations shall be disconnected therefrom if practicable. Where disconnection is not practicable, an approved backflow prevention assembly, the type or kind depending on the degree of hazard, shall be located in the feedline to the process piping or equipment, beyond the last point from which drinking water may be taken. In the event the particular processed liquid is especially corrosive or apt to prevent reliable action of the backflow prevention assembly, an airgap separation shall be provided. These assemblies shall be repaired, overhauled, or replaced whenever they are found to be defective. Records of tests, repairs, and replacement shall be kept and submitted to the Department.
D. Sewage pumps and storm water pumps shall not have priming connections directly off any drinking water systems, unless the drinking water system is protected by an airgap and no connection shall exist between the drinking water system and any other piping, equipment, or tank in any sewage treatment plant, sewage pumping station, or storm water pumping station.
E. Backflow protection by an approved backflow protection device operating under the reduced pressure principle shall be provided on each drinking water outlet used for supplying ships or other vessels at piers or waterfronts. These devices must be located where they will prevent the return of water from any ship or vessel into another adjacent ship or vessel or into the public water system.
F. Where the premises contain dual or multiple water systems and piping, the exposed portions of pipelines shall be painted, banded, or marked at sufficient intervals to distinguish clearly which water is safe for drinking purposes and which is not safe. All outlets from other than approved water supply systems shall be posted as being unsafe - 8 -
for drinking purposes. All outlets intended for drinking purposes shall be plainly marked to indicate that fact.
Section 50.038 - Water Supervisor – Requirements.
At each premises where it is necessary, in the opinion of the Department, a water supervisor shall be designated.
Section 50.039 - Penalties for Noncompliance.
The water purveyor shall have the authority to immediately discontinue service to any premises where cross-connection or other hazards to the water system are found to exist and shall not again render service to said premises until such conditions are eliminated in accordance with this chapter. Any consumer who willfully violates any of the provisions of this chapter or alters, bypasses, or renders inoperative any backflow prevention assembly installed under the provisions of this chapter shall, in addition to immediate discontinuance of water service, be subject to penalties prescribed in Chapter 37 of the Municipal Code. Service shall not again be rendered until such violation or noncompliance has been corrected.
Part 2: Severability. If any part of this ordinance is held invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance, and the City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of the ordinance if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted.
Part 3: Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from and after its final passage.
Part 4: Publication. Within fifteen (15) days after passage, the City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in a newspaper of general circulation. If a summary of the ordinance is published, the City Clerk shall cause a certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance to be posted at City Hall at least five (5) days prior to the meeting at which the ordinance is adopted and again after the meeting at which it is adopted.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 6
Placement: Public Hearing
Meeting Date: February 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Janet Reese, Associate Planner
Megan Martin, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Potential Public Service Programs/Projects for Inclusion in the 2025 State Community Development Block Grant Application
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing to solicit community input and provide direction on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible public service activities to apply for under the 2025 CDBG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG program authorizes the use of funds to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities to low- and moderate-income families. There are two types of CDBG programs: “entitlement1 ”
and “non-entitlement.” The “non-entitlement” program is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Beginning in 2013, the City has participated in the “non-entitlement” program where the City can apply for available funding under a competitive application process. HCD publishes a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for each program year for eligible projects. Since 2013, the City has received grant awards for the following projects:
Waterline Improvement Project (2013, 2017, 2020) $5,900,000 Subsistence Payments/Eviction Prevention Program (2013, 2017, 2020) $840,000 Security Deposits/Rapid Rehousing Program (2013, 2017, 2020) $303,000 Childcare Training Program (2020 Coronavirus) $51,000
Warming Center Operation Program (2020 Coronavirus) $163,000 Homeless Services Program (2020 Coronavirus) $256,000
Homeless Shelter Operation Program (2022) $500,000
Planning/Technical Studies (2013, 2017)2 $200,000
Ramona Garden Park Rehabilitation Project Phases 1 and 2 (2023A) $3,300,000 Housing Navigation Center Operations (2024) 300,000
Total $11,813,000
1 Metropolitan cities and urban counties are entitled to receive annual grants from HUD under the “entitlement” program. Metropolitan cities are principal cities or Metropolitan Areas (MAs), or other cities within MAs that have populations of at least 50,000. Urban Counties are within MAs that have a population of 200,000 or more excluding the population of metropolitan cities within their boundaries.
2 Includes Housing Element Update, Economic Development Study, Senior Center Feasibility Study Staff Report: Public Hearing for 2025 CDBG Public Service Activities Page 2 February 10, 2026
The 2025 CDBG NOFA provides approximately $27.15 million in federal funds statewide for nonentitlement jurisdictions. Of the total available funds, nearly $6.75 million of the overall pool for jurisdictions have been set aside for those who have not been awarded funds from 2020-2024, greatly reducing the amount available to other applicants. CDBG allows a jurisdiction to apply for a maximum of three (3) activities, in one of the following combinations shown below, not to exceed a total grant amount of $3.6 million:
Option Eligible Activity Type
Option A
One Project
(max $3,300,000)
One Program
(max $1,500,000)
One Public Service or Planning
Activity
(combined max $3,300,000) (max $300,000)
Option B One Project
(max $3,300,000)
One Public Service or Planning
Activity
(max $300,000)
One Public Service or Planning
Activity
(max $300,000)
(combined max $300,000)
Option C One Program
(max $1,500,000)
One Public Service or Planning
Activity
(max $300,000)
One Public Service or Planning
Activity
(max $300,000)
(combined max $300,000)
On November 10, 2025, the City Council (Council) conducted a public hearing to review and consider eligible activities to apply for under the 2025 CDBG NOFA. Given the CDBG program’s funding limitations, the Council directed staff to pursue Option B, to allow for one project (up to $3.3 million), and up to two public service or planning activities (max of $300,000), for a maximum request of $3.6 million. The Council further directed staff to pursue a sewer infrastructure project (up to $3.3 million) and the Public Works Department is currently preparing the necessary technical documents and environmental review for Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 5010, which would continue to expand sewer capacity consistent with the Sewer Master Plan.
Public Service Activities
During the November 10th hearing, the Council received public comment from three public service applicants including the 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC), Exploration Discovery Center (EDC), and Shower the People by mail prior to the hearing. The Council subsequently directed staff to review these proposals and continued the hearing to a future date for further consideration of these potential public service applications.
Staff would note that information about the 5CHC applications had previously been submitted as part of the November 10th agenda packet. Following the November 10th hearing, staff worked with the EDC and Shower the People to get further information on their respective applications.
Following additional communication with EDC representatives, the EDC decided to wait until the CDBG application process next year to request funding. As such, the Council has three applications to consider, two from 5CHC and one from Shower the People as highlighted below:
• 5CHC Request 1: Public Service Application to include a request for a maximum of $230,000 to support operational services at the Balay Ko and Cabins for Change emergency shelters.
• 5CHC Request 2: Public Service Application to include a request for a maximum of $70,000 to support a subsistence payment program. Funding will provide one-time or short-term emergency payments toward rent to prevent homelessness; including payments for utilities to avoid shutoff or rent to prevent eviction.
Staff Report: Public Hearing for 2025 CDBG Public Service Activities Page 3 February 10, 2026
• Shower the People Request: Public Service Application to include a request for a maximum of $15,000 to support a South County Mobile Shower Program. This would expand the current shower program by providing up to 2,500 hot showers for unhoused individuals, five days of the week, for 3-4 hours each day.
Additional details and scope of each application for consideration are included in Attachment 1.
Recommended Action
As noted earlier, the maximum allowed grant award for the 2025 CDBG NOFA is $3.6 million with $3.3 million allocated towards a sewer infrastructure project (CIP 5010) with $300,000 available between two public service activities. All three requests and scopes of services from 5CHC and Shower the People are eligible and meet the criteria to qualify for CDBG funding.
Staff recommends that the Council provide direction by selecting one of the following options on the 2025 CDBG Public Service application(s), and direct staff to prepare and return with a resolution authorizing the submittal of the 2025 CDBG applications consistent with the Council’s direction:
1. Approve a $230,000 Public Service application for 5CHC to support emergency shelter operations and a $70,000 Public Service application for 5CHC to support subsistence payment program; or,
2. Approve a $230,000 Public Service application for 5CHC to support emergency shelter operations and a $15,000 Public Service application for Shower the People to operate a South County Mobile Shower Program; or,
3. Approve a $70,000 Public Service application for 5CHC to support emergency shelter operations and a $15,000 Public Service application for Shower the People to operate a South County Mobile Shower Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adams Ashby Group, the City’s CDBG general administration consultant, estimates the cost to prepare the application(s) and related materials to not to $10,000, depending on the selected activities. The cost associated with the preparation of applications is an eligible expenditure of existing CDBG funds which the City currently has.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Conduct a public hearing to solicit community input and provide direction to staff to prepare and submit applications for the 2025 CDBG NOFA; or
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Project Request: South County Mobile Shower Program
Project Cost : $23,750
Funding Request: $15,000
Project Description:
South County Mobile Shower Program: Shower the People is a mobile shower program that provides houseless individuals with free hot shower access five days of the week, for 3-4 hours each day. STP operates mobile shower units at People’s Kitchen in Grover Beach every Wednesday, SLO Library every Sunday, Church of Christ SLO every Saturday and Unitarian Universalist Church every Tuesday and Thursday. The mobile shower trailer includes three fully contained private shower units, each complete with a toilet, mirror, and shower. Every guest is offered a 15-minute shower.
In 2025 STP expects to serve over 1,300 guests at The People's Kitchen location in Grover Beach. In 2026 and going forward able to offer showering 2 days per week with a dedicated shower unit, the program is expected to have over 2,500 guest request services each year.
STP is an all-volunteer based program with no paid employees. Volunteers range in age and background from Cal Poly students in their 20s to retirees a in their 80s. Most STP volunteers do "hands-on" work at one of STP’s five shower sites, however some volunteers assist with administrative tasks as well.
The goal is to keep program expenses for each guest less than $10.00 each for 2026. By increasing showers from one day to two days per week, the program anticipates around 2,500 guests at the Grover Beach location. The South County program is estimated to cost $23,750 per year.

Mission of 5Cities Homeless Coalition:
5CHC assists those who are experiencing or those who are at-risk of homelessness to achieve housing stability, self-sufficiency, and improved health by providing resources, supportive services and programs.
5CHC Experience
5CHC has provided services to those experiencing homelessness and who are at risk of homelessness since 2013. 5CHC’s programs have expanded to include a comprehensive array of services focused on housing stability, income, and health.
• Navigation Center providing Shelter and Services
In Dec. 2022, 5CHC opened its first permanent non-congregate interim housing navigation center in South County, the 20-bed Cabins for Change program; developed in partnership with the County of San Luis Obispo and City of Grover Beach. In July 2024, 5CHC added a second site in partnership with the City of Grover Beach, to add 30 additional units at the Balay Ko on Barca site for a combined noncongregate 50 sleeping quarters in the City of Grover Beach. This program is currently supported with funds from the Cities of Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Arroyo Grande, County of San Luis Obispo, and private contributions.
In fiscal year 2024-25, 5CHC provided shelter to 143 individuals, including 10 transitional-age youth and 78 women. Of those served, over 56% experienced chronic homelessness prior to entering the program (70% having experienced homelessness for a year or more). Of those who exited the program, 70% were successfully house. The framework of the program is to offer shelter and services for approximately 90 days including intensive housing navigation case management, supportive services, shelter, and assistance in navigating basic life skills. The program is offered at both sites to 50 individuals (at a time) and is focused on assisting the clients to obtain long-term stable housing. In preparation for opening, 5CHC did extensive research and staff training, visiting other sites throughout California. There are currently 536 waiting on the referral wait list. • Subsistence Payments - Homeless Prevention
5Cities Homeless Coalition is the key homeless prevention provider in San Luis Obispo County, collaborating with agencies throughout the county to provide housing stabilization case management, utility and rental assistance to those at-risk of homelessness. In fiscal year 24-25, 5CHC assisted 327 individuals in 145 households through its homeless prevention program. 5CHC's track record has demonstrated that less than 5% of those served in the prior 24 months have fallen into homelessness after receiving assistance, this includes the highly vulnerable Transitional-Age Youth population.

Program Overview
Name of the proposed program:
Shower the People
Total grant request for the 33-month period:
$5,000 per year / $15,000 total
Description of the proposed activity, including what the program will do, how it will be implemented, where it will occur
Shower the People (STP) is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501© organization devoted to providing the houseless members of San Luis Obispo and the South County Areas with access to critical hygiene infrastructure and personal care services through the deployment of mobile shower units. STP began its operations in 2018 with the purchase of three mobile shower units using private grant funding. Since then, STP has been able to operate its shower program continuously, outside of a brief two-month pause during the COVID-19 pandemic and has provided over 35,500 showers to houseless members of South County and San Luis Obispo communities. STP provides shower access five days of the week at locations from Grover Beach to San Luis Obispo. STP offers testimonials from former clients to this effect on its website. STP has made great efforts to publicize these important service offerings through the organization’s online presence (website, Instagram, YouTube), participation in community health resource and volunteer fairs, and partnerships with other local nonprofit organizations dedicated to community health. Shower the People has recently purchased a new 3 stall shower trailer with the intent to dedicate its use to San Luis Obispo and bring the existing trailer to exclusive use in Five Cities.
This will allow us to increase showers from 1 day each week to two days per week at the People’s Kitchen. The funding requested from the city of Grover Beach will be directed toward the continued funding of the organization’s already successful shower program at Peoples Kitchen on Rockaway where the homeless are fed daily.
In Shower the Peoples’s 7 years of operations at the Grover Beach site, the mobile shower program has served over 7,700 guests. We have included the Data for 2023,2024 and 2025 on the last 3 pages of this funding request.
Target Population & Service Impact
Target population the program will assist (e.g., homeless individuals, low-income youth, seniors):
Shower the People is a mobile shower program that provides houseless individuals with free hot shower access five days of the week, for 3-4 hours each day. STP operates mobile shower units at People’s Kitchen in Grover Beach every Wednesday, SLO Library every Sunday, Church of Christ SLO every Saturday and Unitarian Universalist Church every Tuesday and Thursday. The mobile shower trailer includes three fully contained private shower units, each complete with a toilet, mirror, and shower. Every guest is offered a 15-minute shower after which our volunteers ensure the unit is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and prepared for the next guest. Every shower guest receives a new T-shirt, new boxers/undergarments, new socks, a toothbrush/toothpaste, comb, razor, and a 2oz bottle of hand sanitizer. The shower program uses biodegradable soap/shampoo to minimize environmental waste and provide guests with the best quality hygiene products. Towels and washcloths are provided to the shower program weekly by the Arroyo Grande Community Hospital. STP is an all-volunteer based program with no paid employees.
Volunteers range in age and background from Cal Poly students in their 20s to retirees a in their 80s. Most STP volunteers do "hands-on" work at one of STP’s five shower sites, however some volunteers assist with administrative tasks as well. STP volunteers are friendly, kind, welltrained, and committed to bringing needed hygiene services to vulnerable populations. STP shower sites are welcoming, safe, clean and reliable places for both volunteers and shower guests. As an organization Shower the People primarily provides showers, but STP sites have attracted other homeless service providers, and community members that provide food, free haircuts, and clothing to guests. The County Nurse Navigator attends two of STP sites, in Grover and SLO, and helps guests obtain insurance and critical health services. Once a month Vituity organizes a pop-up medical clinic at STP’s Library site, offering free medical care and follow up with on-site physicians and nurses. Dignity Health Street Outreach is invited to visit STP’s Grover site once a month providing both medical and social services to the guests on site. Public Health has visited to each STP site to offer free COVID vaccines to guests.
Estimated number of persons to be served:
Shower the People (STP) keeps detailed daily data at all shower sites including the number of showers given and the gender, age, and veteran status of those accessing shower sites. The program additionally tracks the number of supplies used by guests to accurately estimate the amount of supplies the program requires. The program shares collected data with local cities and the County as well as churches and donors who support STP's program. In 2025 STP expects to serve over 1,300 guests at The People's Kitchen location in Grover Beach. In 2026 and going forward if we start showering 2 days per week with a dedicated shower unit in south county, we expect to have over 2,500 guests request services each year Explanation of why the program is needed in the community and how it will benefit Grover Beach residents:
By operating continuously throughout the week in different areas, STP can best serve the needs of local houseless populations which are widely dispersed throughout the county. Unhoused populations in Grover Beach and across San Luis Obispo face significant barriers to environmental health and hygiene in the realm of water, sanitation, waste management, and personal hygiene. People without housing often lack access to clean showers and regular public handwashing facilities. STP is currently the only organization in South San Luis Obispo County offering mobile hygiene solutions to this vulnerable population. The relevance of access to hygiene and personal care services to improving immediate quality of life and the potential to break cycles of houselessness cannot be understated. Improved hygiene can advance the likelihood of employment or housing placement for people suffering from a lack of housing.
4. Budget
In 2025 STP Received $33,000 in Government Grants:
San Luis Obispo- $20,000, Arroyo Grande- $8,000, Pismo Beach - $5,000 Our Annual Operating and Maintenance Budget for all sites is $69,500 and does not include capital costs for the van and trailer. Year to date we have spent $44,646 on Operations and Maintenance. We were fortunate to purchase a large portion of our bulk supplies prior to pricing impacts of tariffs and expect to spend at least another $10,000 this year to stabilize our inventory.
After taking into account the $10,000 we may spend in the next 2 months, we have raised an additional $30,000 this year as shown on the next page. We set this aside for the final payment of $33,802 due on our new shower trailer being delivered in January 2026.
On the bottom of the October 2025 data sheet (Attached), we have served 6,525 guests as of October 31st, 2025. We expect another 600 guests each month for November and December (raining – less guests) and finish the year at around 7,700 guests. We expect to end the year with $54,000 in O&M expenses. Our ongoing capital costs for a new van and trailer are expected to be around $2.50 per guest.
$54,000 divided by 7700 showers = $7.00 per guest plus $250 per guest capital costs = $9.50 per guest
Our goal is to keep program expenses for each guest to be less than $10.00 each for 2026. In 2026 by increasing offering showers from 1 day per week to 2, we expect to have around 2,500 guests at our Grover Beach location after we receive our new shower trailer and can dedicate a shower trailer to just south county. We expect our south county program to cost $23,750 per year. (2500 times $9.50 per guest)

CITY OF GROVER BEACH
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 7
Placement: Business
Meeting Date: February 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Szamet, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Review, Mid-year Budget Augmentation Requests and General Fund Financial Forecast
RECOMMENDATION
Receive FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Review and updated General Fund Financial Forecast; and approve mid-year budget appropriation requests.
BACKGROUND
Consistent with the Council’s adopted financial policies, this report provides an update on the City’s financial condition for FY 2025-26 and General Fund financial projections over the next five years. The forecast uses current budget data and economic indicators from national and local sources to establish projections for revenue and expenditures as well as illuminate any long-term challenges in balancing council priorities with available resources. The City presently has healthy reserves and a strong “AA” credit rating largely owing to Council’s commitment to prudent fiscal management and limited growth of City expenditures. While revenue growth continues to be steady despite an uncertain economy, the City faces persistent escalation of costs in operating City services due to factors outside of the City’s control which lead to tight budgetary conditions.
FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Financial Report
The General Fund is the City’s primary fund with taxes and major user fees funding basic public services. The Council adopted a FY 2025-26 General Fund budget of $21.4 million as shown below in Table 1 along with revenue and expenditure estimates as of the end of January:

General Fund Revenues
For FY 2025-26, the City’s top five revenues (property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, cannabis tax, and franchise fees) comprise approximately 74% of total revenue. Total General Fund revenues are projected to end the fiscal year at approximately $21.7 million compared to $21.4 million budgeted. Total revenues are projected to be $300,000 more than budgeted with increased property, sales, and cannabis tax revenues from budgeted amounts. Projections are determined by historical trends, revenue received to date in the current year, and anticipated business growth, as well as consultation with outside experts in economic trends.
The City’s diverse revenue composition has continued to reinforce the City’s financial position in a period of economic uncertainty and cost escalation. Sales tax revenues reported modest gains of 2.58% over the prior year and cannabis tax revenues are projected to increase this year for the first time in several years. However, future growth in cannabis tax revenues could be challenged by other communities allowing commercial cannabis businesses. Arroyo Grande is considering a measure for the November 2026 ballot to establish a cannabis tax in conjunction with regulations to allow commercial cannabis retailers which would likely affect both the City’s cannabis and sales tax revenues. Staff would note that one of the City’s cannabis retailers has recently submitted an application for an onsite consumption lounge which would add to cannabis tax revenues if opened.
Table 2 highlights the General Fund’s top five budgeted revenues for the FY 2025-26 budget compared to estimated revenues at year-end:
Table 2
Budget Estimated Over/(Under) Percent of
Budget
Property Tax 6,459,000 6,524,000 65,000 101%
Sales Tax 5,863,000 6,028,025 165,025 103%
Cannabis Tax 1,070,000 1,125,965 55,965 105%
Transient Occupancy Tax 1,331,000 1,331,000 - 100%
Franchise Fees 965,000 965,000 - 100%
Total 15,688,000 15,973,990 285,990 102%
The City’s largest tax revenue source, property tax, is estimated to be higher than budgeted by 1% from the prior year. Sales tax revenue as noted above is estimated to be higher by 3% compared to the FY 2025-26 budgeted amount and cannabis tax is estimated to be 5% higher than budget based on improvement in retail sales. Transient occupancy tax (TOT) and franchise fee revenues have not been changed from budgeted amounts, however, the City has recently learned that the SpringHill Suites hotel project at 950 El Camino Real nearing completion has been delayed which will affect the final estimate of TOT revenues this year. Franchise fee revenues include payments to the City for the easements related to the two new transoceanic fiber optic cables which commenced operation this fiscal year.
General Fund Expenditures
Table 3 on the following page shows General Fund expenditures by major categories. For FY 2025-26, the General Fund is estimated to end the year with almost $500,000 more in Salaries and Benefits expenditures driven by costs outside the City’s direct control. These include higher costs for health insurance benefits, CalPERS pension costs for the City’s unfunded accrued liability, and worker’s compensation claims in the shared pool for the City’s insurance agency (California Joint Powers Insurance Agency). These additional costs do not include budgeted cost- Staff Report: FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Review and General Fund Financial Forecast Page 3 February 10, 2026
of-living compensation adjustments for City employees pursuant to approved agreements which are reflected in the City’s budget and do not include any new City positions or services.
Supplies and Services costs are also projecting to be higher related to contract engineering services given vacant positions as well as increased electrical utility costs. Engineering costs will likely abate once a new Senior Engineer is hired and services are back to being conducted by inhouse Public Works staff. Council’s approval last fall of adjusted development review fees for Public Works services given increased costs will also help offset these costs by year-end.

Water Fund
As in past years, the Water Fund is projected to run a deficit in FY 2025-26 as water system costs continue to outpace revenues with the current water rate structure adopted in 2021. Although many capital projects have been paused to maintain the Water Fund’s fiscal solvency, the City is now incurring additional costs for the City’s share of Lopez Lake litigation costs. As the Council is aware, there is pending federal litigation against the County of San Luis Obispo by environmental groups claiming the County’s operation of Lopez Lake including the level of downstream releases harms endangered steelhead trout. Although final litigation amounts are unknown as the case is still pending, the City can expect to pay approximately 17% of litigation expenses including potentially plaintiff fees depending on the outcome of the case given the City’s contractual amount of Lopez Lake water.
To date, the City has incurred nearly $500,000 in anticipated legal costs paid to the County for attorney services in defense of this case. These costs are expected to continue given the pace of legal proceedings and the City’s total costs for legal fees may ultimately reach $2 million. Given the cost of this litigation to the Water Fund, staff anticipates the Fund will end the year with a deficit of $1.2 million which will further reduce reserves. Depending on expenses incurred, staff may recommend a short-term bridge loan from the Water Conservation Fund to the Water Fund which could help stabilize the Water Fund’s cash position in the short run until a new rate structure can be adopted. Below in Table 4 is further financial information about the Water Fund:

Wastewater Fund
Given the new five-year sewer rate structure that went into effect on July 1, 2025, there is now sufficient funding for long-awaited upgrades to major sewer lines along with operation and maintenance of the sewer system. Below in Table 5 is further financial information about the Wastewater Fund:

Carryover of Capital Project Funding and Authorized Appropriations Per Council’s adopted financial policies, any unused appropriations at the end of FY 2024-25 in active capital improvement projects and multi-year programs are reappropriated for continued use in FY 2025-26. The City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has nearly $1.2 million in General Fund CIP carryover funding, approximately $1.1 million of which has been allocated for CIP Project 2285 for improvements to North 4th Street (the remaining $80,000 is for a train station stormwater project and sidewalk infill work). The North 4th Street project is estimated to cost approximately $2 million and is also funded by Gas Tax and Local Transportation Funds along with the General Fund.
Public Works is currently carrying out two significant capital improvement projects in the sewer upgrade project and Ramona Garden Park rehabilitation project with the next Measure K-14 local street repair project scheduled to begin this summer. Given this workload, staff is not able to carry out the North 4th Street project during the remainder of this fiscal year and thus would recommend carrying over this $1.2 million in CIP funding to FY 2026-27 for the North 4th Street project and the two other smaller projects. Carrying out the North 4th Street project in FY 2026-27 would still be timely in order to do a less intensive grind and overlay improvement project before the street Staff Report: FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Review and General Fund Financial Forecast Page 5 February 10, 2026
degrades to the level where a more costly and involved rehabilitation project is needed. Staff would suggest this specific project carryover to be consistent with the original appropriation of these funds rather than with a general category of use.
Requested Mid-Year Budget Appropriations and General Fund Impact Given tight budget conditions in this fiscal year, only two mid-year budget appropriations are recommended by staff with both covered by outside revenues. The Police Department has requested increases to $53,002 for additional overtime to be repaid by State grants dedicated for additional law enforcement patrols for DUI and cannabis enforcement. Additionally, the Police Department requested $17,000 in additional training and education funds for a teambuilding workshop fully reimbursed by California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.
Staff are requesting the Council’s approval of mid-year budget appropriation changes for the General Fund totaling $70,002 with additional detail provided in Attachment 1.
General Fund Financial Forecast
Economic Trends
The General Fund financial forecast is intended to be a tool which provides a rational forecast of the City’s financial position over a five-year period. Staff annually updates the five-year General Fund financial forecast to evaluate the City’s financial condition and help develop the City’s budget.
The consensus for the national economic outlook has been generally positive moving into 2026.
On the one hand, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates. However, the pace of the rate decreases is already moderating as inflation persists. United States Gross Domestic Product for the last quarter of 2025 grew at a pace of 1.1%. Mortgage rates also remain high relative to previous years and are unlikely to abate given levels of federal debt. As with most of California, the small inventory of available housing keeps asset prices high in Grover Beach.
Based on the latest sales tax forecast ending September 30, 2025, statewide taxable sales are up by 2.1% overall compared to the previous year and the Central Coast is seeing a higher growth rate of 6.3% annually. Grover Beach saw an increase of 2.5% for the past quarter with sales tax for food products and transportation up 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively. However, general retail and construction saw quarterly drops of 4.7%, and 10.1% which illustrates a continued mix of gains and losses by sector. According to the California Association of Realtors, statewide housing sales jumped by 3.1% in 2025. On the Central Coast, sales increased by slightly higher margin of 12.8%.
City’s Five-Year Forecast
Grover Beach’s diversified revenue base has made it well suited to weather the challenging economic conditions. New developments that are opening along with existing businesses are helping improve economic conditions overall. Staff anticipates that property, sales, and transient occupancy tax will all see moderate growth in 2026. Table 8 on the following page shows a summary of this updated five-year forecast with a more detailed version shown in Attachment 2.
Staff Report: FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Review and General Fund Financial Forecast Page 6 February 10, 2026
Table 8
Overall, the forecast indicates the General Fund is in a positive position for the next FY 2026-27 which is the second year of the current two-year budget cycle. Looking ahead, FY 2027-28 is also projected to have a small surplus with small deficits subsequently projected in FY 2028-29 and FY 2029-30 before a small surplus is again projected in FY 2030-31. This trend indicates the City is generally running a break-even budget between revenues and expenditures with continuity and stability in services and personnel. Despite this relative stability, the City faces challenges in containing employment costs outside of the City’s control along with meeting new and emerging community needs that increase the City’s costs. Below are some points regarding major revenue sources and guiding assumptions around the forecast:
• Sales Tax. For FY 2025-26, the forecast assumes that general sales tax revenues will increase by 2.5% with subsequent growth steady at 2% in 2027 through 2031. Significant increases in revenue in prior years have leveled off with the reduction in inflation and fiscal stimulus.
• Property Tax. Using prior year revenue estimates, this year’s forecast assumes that the City’s property tax revenues will increase by 5.8% year-over-year. Fiscal years 2026-27 and beyond assume consistent growth of 5% per year.
• Cannabis Tax. The forecast revises cannabis tax revenue up to $1.1 million in FY 2025-26, a slight increase from in FY 2024-25. This forecast shows moderate growth estimating additional revenues for 2027-31 at 2% per year.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). In FY 2024-25, TOT revenues were slightly more than $1 million. However, potential delays in the new hotel project at 950 El Camino Real would affect final TOT revenue estimates as noted earlier. Additional approved hotel projects including the Grover Beach Lodge and 1598 El Camino Real are not included in the forecast as they have not started construction and would be added when construction begins. Overall, TOT is projected to increase 3% in FY 2026-27 and 2% each year, beginning in FY 2027-28 to FY 2030-31.
The presentation of the projected General Fund forecast represents the beginning of Council’s review and deliberation on the City’s budget which culminates in the Council’s adoption of the budget in June. Prior to then, staff will provide another budget update to the Council on May 11.
Overall, projected General Fund revenues and projected expenses indicate that the City is able to meet operational and service needs while keeping sufficient reserves consistent with the City’s reserves policy of at least 25% of operating expenditures through FY 2027-28 before dropping down to 23% by FY 2030-31. However, there are factors that could impact the use of reserves such as the final amount for the local contribution towards the Ramona Garden Park rehabilitation project costs. Staff intends to provide an update to the Council on the park project and the related funding on April 13.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 8
Placement: Business
Meeting Date: February 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Greg Ray, City Engineer/Public Works Director Erin Wiggin, CIP Manager
SUBJECT: Street Repair Update
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the status of street maintenance and rehabilitation efforts including on private streets south of Farroll Road and provide direction to staff on the next Measure K-14 project to begin construction along with the timing of the North 4th Street improvement project.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has identified Community Infrastructure as one of its multi-year City goals. This goal focuses on long-range planning and the upkeep of well-maintained infrastructure, including city streets. The City is responsible for maintaining approximately 45 centerline miles of streets, which includes nearly 10 million square feet of pavement, and uses pavement management software to evaluate the condition of the streets and strategically plan and prioritize street maintenance.
Since 2014, major maintenance or rehabilitation projects on residential streets has been completed using voter-approved Measure K-14 bond proceeds. The City is approaching the 11th year of this Measure K-14 program which provides up to $48 million in bond funds for repair of residential streets with an estimated timeframe of 25 years. Work on the remainder of city streets, which are generally arterial streets referred to as “major streets,” including 4th Street, Oak Park Boulevard, El Camino Real, West Grand Avenue, Farroll Road and The Pike, is not funded by Measure K-14 but rather by other sources including the General Fund, Gas Tax funds allocated by the State, Local Transportation Funds (LTF) allocated by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), and outside grants.
In summer 2025, the City engaged a consultant to evaluate the condition of the City’s streets after 10 years of the Measure K-14 bond measure work. The streets are evaluated and rated on a scale of 0-100 using a number called the Pavement Condition Index or PCI. The City’s target PCI is 65. The table on the following page shows the Condition Category and the corresponding PCI range for both Measure K-14 and major streets from 2025 as compared to 2014 before the Measure K-14 bond measure was passed:
Staff Report: Street Repair Update Page 2
February 10, 2026
The overall PCI rating for all City streets is now 69 compared with 39 in 2014. Approximately 75% of City streets are classified as excellent/good/fair compared with 34% in 2014. Only 24% of streets now are classified as poor/failed compared with 65% in 2014. Below is a breakdown of these conditions for the Measure K-14 streets in particular:
The overall PCI rating for the Measure K-14 residential streets is 73. Once all of the Measure K14 projects are completed, the PCI for these streets will be 80. Approximately 81% of these streets are now classified as excellent/good/fair with only 18% now classified as poor/failed.
Measure K-14 Projects
Staff would first note that while there has been significant progress in repairing local streets in the Measure K-14 program, there is still substantial work to fully repair all of these streets. To date, the City has completed maintenance or rehabilitation of nearly 320 city blocks, which represents over 70 percent of the streets included in the Measure K-14 program. Construction of the most recent Measure K-14 project was completed in August 2025 on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2295-18, which was a surface treatment of over 80 blocks throughout the city. In general, the City is on a cycle of completing about one Measure K-14 project per fiscal year to continue the progress in improving residential streets.
In terms of current status of projects, bid documents have been prepared for the next Measure K14 street repair project (CIP 2295-17) which is estimated to cost $2.4 million and includes rehabilitation of 13 blocks including portions of N. 9th (which also includes construction of a storm Staff Report: Street Repair Update Page 3
February 10, 2026
drain), N. 11th and 12th Streets along with Brighton and Ramona Avenues. A map of this project scope is shown in Attachment 2. Construction on this project has been put on hold since 2024 with the delay in related sewer upgrade work on affected streets due to lack of sufficient funding in the Wastewater Fund. This has now been resolved with the new sewer rate structure and the sewer upgrade work is currently underway with an estimated completion in July which would then enable the CIP Project 2295-17 street repair project to begin.
However, given the past delay, Council directed staff in January 2025 to proceed with the design for the next street project CIP 2295-19. This is a larger project (28 blocks) estimated to cost $3.1 million and includes portions of Brighton and Ramona Avenues along with N. 2nd, N. 5th, N. 6th, and N. 7th Streets. Project design is almost complete and construction could start in July in place of CIP Project 2295-17. Staff is seeking direction from the Council in deciding which Measure K14 project should proceed first with the second project beginning afterwards in 2027.
Beyond these two specific projects, Attachment 1 shows all the Measure K-14 projects that have been completed and the remaining residential streets to repair in the Measure K-14 program. Staff believes the remaining projects could be completed by 2032, which is ahead of the original program completion date of 2040. Approximately $13 million in available funding remains from the $48 million bond funding with five more projects (including the two mentioned above) planned to address all residential streets. Staff anticipates coming to the Council this fall to approve the issuance of a $5 million bond to continue funding Measure K-14 projects.
As shared previously with the Council, staff is forecasting a funding shortage of $3-4 million to fully complete the programmed Measure K-14 projects by 2032 given inflation in recent years along with escalating construction costs. Additional funding to complete these projects would need to come from other sources including potentially the General Fund. No immediate action on this long-term funding gap is needed as there is sufficient funding for more immediate projects though staff will continue to engage the Council over time in ways to address this funding gap in completing all residential street repairs.
Upon completion of all Measure K-14 projects, the estimated cost to maintain residential streets in good condition (PCI value of 65 or better) is $2 million per year. The City has begun programming maintenance of previously rehabilitated Measure K-14 funded streets in the CIP starting in FY 2026-27 with a recurring annual maintenance project funded by the General Fund (CIP 2250-1), but these allocations are only $50,000 for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 before increasing to potentially $230,000 beginning in FY 2028-29. Additional projects and ongoing funding will need to be included in annual budgets in future years as a lack of maintenance funding would reduce the PCI to 49 in less than 10 years.
Lastly, the City’s sidewalk infill public/private partnership program has been available for property owner participation on streets where Measure K-14 projects are being completed. With this program, the City will fund half of the cost to construct concrete sidewalk, curb, and gutter improvements. As a result of this program, the number of property owners funding sidewalk improvements has increased from 1-2 per project to an average of 4-5 per project. The City’s contribution is funded with an annual budget allocation of $50,000 and is projected to resume in FY 2026-27.
Major Streets Projects
Improvements to major arterial streets have been historically limited due to lack of resources for these repairs. However, in recent years, the City has received additional general revenues including cannabis tax revenues and increased sales tax revenues first through the approval of Measure X-06 in 2006 and then Measure F-20 in 2020. As a result, the Council previously Staff Report: Street Repair Update Page 4
February 10, 2026
allocated additional General Fund revenue for major streets projects with a priority on streets that are heavily used or located with numerous businesses and residents. Two major streets that have been improved in recent years have been South Oak Park Boulevard between West Grand Avenue and Mentone Avenue and West Grand Avenue between 8th and 4th Streets. The West Grand Avenue project was completed in June 2025 and included pavement rehabilitation, landscaped medians, sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, street trees, and installation of storm drains on this section of the city’s main commercial corridor.
At this time, only one major street project is currently funded in the City’s CIP (North 4th Street from West Grand Avenue to Ocean View Avenue) given direction from the Council to focus future General Fund resources on local street maintenance needs. North 4th Street is one of the primary thoroughfares to and from the city and repair work is recommended to be done relatively soon in order to do a lighter maintenance “grind and overlay” project compared with a more costly and extensive full depth rehabilitation. This project, estimated to cost approximately $2 million with $1.1 million in funding from the General Fund, was intended to be done this fiscal year. However, given the current project workload, staff is not able to carry out the North 4th Street project at this time and recommends deferring this project to FY 2026-27 which would still be timely to do this repair work before a more costly rehabilitation was needed. Staff is seeking Council direction on this recommendation.
Overall, there is a total of over $20 million in unfunded major street improvement needs for segments of West Grand Avenue, South Oak Park Boulevard, South 4th Street, Farroll Road, The Pike, and El Camino Real along with an estimated $500,000 in annual maintenance costs for all major streets. $9 million of this need alone is for South 4th Street south of Highland Way to the City limit given the condition of the street and underlying drainage issues from adjacent properties.
This street section has historically been lightly traveled given the proximity to Highway 1 and 13th Street and has been closed to through traffic since early 2023 given storm damage. Repairing this street section requires a complex redesign to address the challenges with flooding and debris.
Staff has applied for a Sustainable Communities grant for planning and design for a complete streets project for South 4th Street which would include drainage improvements, repaving, construction of a protected bike lane, and streetlights.
Streets South of Farroll Road
Lastly, staff wanted to review with the Council the ownership status of streets south of Farroll Road following an initial Council discussion on this topic in January 2025. The Council has previously provided direction to include the streets south of Farroll Road as part of the Measure K-14 street program. However, the program’s list of street projects has these streets south of Farroll Road in the last set of projects due to concerns regarding existing easements, dedications and ownership of streets in the area between private property owners and the City. Staff has conducted a thorough analysis of the City’s vested interest in the roads south of Farroll Road.
While these roads were initially reserved for developers and their successors in interest according to the applicable 1926 resubdivision map of the area, identified as the Pismo Beach Gardens on the original subdivision map, the City has established significant vested rights through its longterm maintenance and improvement activities on these roads.
Support of the City’s vested rights is found in California Civil Code § 1009(d), which provides that a governmental entity can acquire vested rights in private land through public improvement and maintenance. The statute specifically states that when a governmental entity uses private lands through the expenditure of public funds on visible improvements and conducts maintenance related to public use in a manner where the owner knows or should know of such use, these actions confer upon the governmental entity a vested right to continue such use after five years, Staff Report: Street Repair Update Page 5
February 10, 2026
provided the owner neither gives express permission nor takes steps to prohibit such use. These rights include “any public use reasonably related to the purposes of such improvement.” The City has firmly established these vested rights through its historical construction of the roads, ongoing improvements to the road infrastructure, and regular maintenance activities, all funded through public expenditure. These activities clearly meet the statutory requirements as they constitute visible improvements and maintenance related to public use. The long-term nature of these activities, extending well beyond the five-year statutory period, has solidified these rights.
The City's vested rights in these roadways, while substantial, are limited to the existing established road footprint and do not constitute ownership of the underlying property. These rights encompass basic road maintenance, traffic and parking regulation, street lighting installation and maintenance, drainage system implementation, and other standard street-related improvements necessary for public safety and convenience. While the City may utilize these roads for additional public infrastructure that could be considered "reasonably related to the purposes of such improvement," the determination of what constitutes a reasonable use is not definitive. The potential scope may include underground utilities such as water lines, sewer connections, storm drainage systems, electrical conduits, and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as surface improvements like sidewalks, pedestrian facilities, bicycle lanes, street lighting, and traffic calming measures. These uses may be considered reasonable as they relate to the road's primary purpose of providing public transportation infrastructure and align with modern street requirements. Given the private ownership, the City could not expand beyond the established roadway footprint and any improvements must remain within these physical constraints.
Given the City's extensive history of maintaining and improving these roads, staff has concluded that the City has established vested rights in the Pismo Beach Gardens roads and that these rights provide the City with the sufficient authority to continue maintaining and improving these roads as part of the larger street improvement program. Staff believes that pursuing additional actions to secure property ownership could involve substantial use of City staff time and legal resources that would not produce demonstrative benefits to the City beyond the benefits under the current vested rights.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no immediate funding impacts to this staff report. Staff would note that a potential countywide sales tax measure from the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments for the November 2026 election, could generate additional annual funding to the City for transportation projects over 30 years starting at approximately $865,000 in the first year if the measure was approved by voters. Such funding would supplement the City’s existing funding for transportation projects and help address funding shortfalls for local streets, major streets, or other transportation improvements at the discretion of the Council.
