BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: June 3, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maggie Rodriguez, Assistant City Clerk
TITLE: RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO OFFSHORE DRILLING ACTIVITES AND
EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution in opposition to offshore drilling activities and expansion of offshore drilling in the Pacific Ocean.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
Offshore drilling carries countless devasting negative effects of oil and gas development on frontline communities. This drilling pollutes our air with toxic emissions that are known to cause asthma, lung cancer, and other diseases.
In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster killed 11 people and resulted in more than 200 million gallons of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. Oil from the spill tarred hundreds of miles of Gulf Coast shoreline stretching from Texas to Florida and devastated coastal economies.
Losses to the seafood industry alone were estimated at nearly $1 billion. The disaster had deadly impacts for dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and more.
DISCUSSION:
An analysis by Oceana found that protecting all unleased federal waters from offshore drilling in the United States could prevent over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions. That is the equivalent of taking every car in the nation off the road for 15 years and ending new leasing could prevent more than $720 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment.
Oil companies have stockpiled more than 8 million acres of the ocean for future drilling - more than 75% of the total leased acreage of public waters. Preventing new offshore drilling will 29
protect coastal communities from devastating pollution, support healthy marine ecosystems, safeguard ocean wildlife, and encourage a clean energy future.
At the federal level, no new offshore leasing has been permitted in federal waters since 1984.
However, the Trump administration released a five-year offshore leasing plan in 2018 that proposed opening up the entire West Coast to new drilling despite widespread opposition in Pacific Coast states. That proposal was blocked by courts, but the threat of drilling remains as no permanent ban is enacted at the federal level. At the start of the 118th Congress, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Jared Huffman (CA-02) introduced the West Coast Ocean Protection Act.
This measure would permanently ban oil and gas drilling in federal waters off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington.
On April 18, 2025, the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced its intention to begin the process to establish a new schedule of offshore oil and gas lease sales through a new National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Program (FiveYear Plan). This process began with a Request For Information (RFI) on April 30 and triggered a 45-day comment period that will end on June 16, 2025, to allow stakeholders to provide input on offshore oil and gas drilling.
President Biden finalized the current Five-Year Plan that outlines where the federal government will offer leases in 2024-2029. He also used his authority under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to permanently withdraw 625 million acres of federal waters, spanning the East and West coasts, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the Arctic. The Trump Administration immediately attempted to revoke those withdrawals, and this new RFI is the first step toward replacing the current Five-Year Plan to expand offshore oil and gas drilling in U.S. waters.
Adding support from Half Moon Bay will help make a statement and join in the opposition of this and any future efforts toward offshore drilling in the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere.

FROM: Leslie Lacko, Community Development Director
Scott Phillips, Senior Planner
TITLE: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW FOR A NEW RESIDENCE AT 2800 CHAMPS ELYSEE BLVD, FILE NO. PDP-17-055 ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the Findings and Evidence contained in Exhibit A of the draft resolution and subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit B:
1. Determine that the project complies with the requirements of the previously adopted Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) associated with the subdivision and that the project is Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction.
2. Approve PDP-17-055, an application for a Coastal Development Permit, and Architectural Review to allow the construction of a new two-story single-family residence and site improvements on a 31,709 square-foot lot (the Project).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Inclusive Governance Element of the Strategic Plan.
DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Project includes the construction of a 4,710 square foot two-story single-family residence on a triangular 31,709 square foot lot located at 2800 Champs Elysee Blvd., identified as San Mateo County Assessor’s Parcel Number 048-133-060 (the Property). A two-car garage is connected to the residence by a breezeway and courtyard between the two buildings.
Extensive landscaping would be installed within the large triangular lot. A large stormwater detention basin would be installed behind the residence to detain on-site generated stormwater from the proposed residence improvements. Condition of Approval B4 in Exhibit B of Attachment 1 requires the Property owner to make an irrevocable offer to the City of 33
dedication of an easement along the northern portion of the Property, to allow for possible future drainage improvements. Attachment 2 includes the proposed plans.
BACKGROUND:
On August 16, 2017, an application was filed requesting a Coastal Development Permit and Architectural Review to allow for the construction of a new single-family residence on the Property. The Project was reviewed by the Planning Commission at the August 14, 2018, April 9, 2019, and May 26, 2020, meetings, and continued to a date uncertain at each meeting.
Following the 2020 Planning Commission meeting, a complete redesign of the proposed residence took place. The revised residential design was then reviewed by the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) on two separate occasions (September 22 and December 15, 2022).
The AAC was supportive of the revised site and architectural design at the second meeting. The Project was then reviewed by the Planning Commission for the fourth time on July 11, 2023.
The staff report for this meeting, which provides more background on the previous meetings, can be accessed here.
At the July 11, 2023, meeting, the Planning Commission discussion centered around concerns regarding drainage and potential flooding onto adjacent properties related and unrelated to the proposed Project. Comments received by the Planning Commission are included in the adopted minutes here. The stormwater detention system proposed at the time included a series of drywells designed to overflow into vegetated areas in accordance with the City’s standard 10- year flood event analysis and criteria. The Commission continued the item to a date uncertain and directed staff to further evaluate the site related to stormwater containment and the applicability of the 10-year flood event analysis standard. The Commission also requested that staff evaluate the grading and drainage design and requested modifications to the proposed on-site grading and drainage to verify that the stormwater runoff from the Project would be retained onsite. The Commission also identified concerns with Project conformance with Land Use Plan (LUP) Policy 7-12 (Site-Specific Shoreline Hazards Evaluation) and other relevant policies within Chapter 7 of the LUP, including Policy 7-8 (Shoreline Hazards and New Development) and Policy 7-10 (Shoreline Hazard Mapping). The Commission was supportive of the revised architectural design and other components of the review.
On September 10, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the revised application. The Planning Commission’s review was limited to information related to its request at the abovementioned July 11, 2023, Planning Commission meeting. At the conclusion of the September 2024 public hearing, the Planning Commission denied the proposed Project on a 3-0 vote, with two Planning Commissioners absent, and adopted Resolution for Denial PDP-17-055 (Resolution of Denial). The primary basis of the denial was the inability to make the following applicable findings within Chapter 7 of the LUP: (1) that the Planning Commission lacked sufficient information to determine the project would not cause or contribute to flood hazards under LUP Policy 7-51; and (2) that the Project failed to evaluate potential impacts to adjacent properties from its proposed flood protection measures under LUP Policy 7-57. Attachment 3 includes the signed Planning Commission Resolution of Denial. The staff report and attachments from the 34
September 10 Planning Commission meeting are available here. The adopted Planning Commission minutes are available here.
On September 13, 2024, the Planning Commission’s decision was appealed by the applicant for the Project. At the October 15, 2024, City Council meeting, after two unsuccessful motions, the Council denied the appeal on a split vote (2 ayes and 2 no’s) with one councilmember recused.
Because a tie vote is deemed denial of such an appeal, the City Council affirmed the Planning Commission’s Resolution of Denial. The City Council staff report is available here and video of the meeting is available here.
On December 23, 2024, project applicant John Vidovich filed a lawsuit against the City, challenging the City’s denial of the project (Lawsuit).
On April 23, 2025, City consultant Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers completed additional modeling of the Pullman Ditch to analyze potential on- and off-site impacts of the project to ensure (i) that the Project will not cause or contribute to flood hazards, as required by LUP Policy 7-51, and (ii) that proposed flood control measures will not create adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts on- or off-site, as required by LUP Policy 7-57. A summary of the modeling is included as Attachment 4. Prior to this report, City consultant Waterways Consulting, Inc. analyzed the project’s grading, drainage, and stormwater detention design in a report dated July 23, 2024 (Attachment 5), and consultant Schaaf & Wheeler analyzed impacts of the Pullman Ditch in a report dated September 11, 2024. A copy of the Waterways report is included as Attachment 5 and a copy of the 2024 Schaaf & Wheeler report is included as Attachment 6.
On May 6, 2025, the City Council approved a conditional Settlement Agreement to resolve the Lawsuit. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is included as Attachment 7. According to the Settlement Agreement, the City Council agreed to consider the Project at a public hearing based on all of the information now before it (including the April 23, 2025, Schaff and Wheeler modeling) and pursuant to Municipal Code section 18.20.050.C. The Settlement Agreement does not require the City Council to approve the Project. However, if the City Council does approve the Project, without imposing conditions that are substantially different than the conditions of approval proposed in the materials submitted to the City Council in conjunction with the October 15, 2024, appeal, Mr. Vidovich is required to dismiss the Lawsuit.
DISCUSSION:
The key outstanding items were identified during the previous Planning Commission meeting as a basis for adoption of the Resolution of Denial: compliance with LUP Policy 7-51 and LUP Policy 7-57.
Compliance LUP Policies 7-51 and 7-57
The LUP requires examination of a project’s impacts to on- and off-site flooding. At the September 10, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission determined that it lacked 35
sufficient information to determine the project was in compliance with LUP Policy 7-51, which requires that the City ensure new development does not cause or contribute to flood hazards.
The Commission also found that the Project failed to evaluate potential impacts to adjacent or downstream properties from all proposed structural flood protection measures to ensure that the flood protection measures will not create adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts either on-site or off-site, as required by LUP Policy 7-57.
Two subsequent reports completed by the City’s consultants address these issues: 1) an analysis of impacts to Pullman Ditch during storm events, and 2) a second report examining potential impacts of the proposed Project. The first report by Schaaf & Wheeler (Attachment 6), dated September 11, 2024, evaluated effects of 10- and 100-year storm events on Pullman Ditch and assessed potential solutions to address flooding concerns. The report recommended improvements (i.e., a bypass) as a long-term solution to address these existing impacts. The second analysis, dated April 23, 2025, evaluated on- and off-site impacts of the proposed Project.
Together, these analyses provided the information identified by the Planning Commission as missing from the record in 2024. Moreover, these analyses confirmed substantial compliance with LUP Policies 7-51 and 7-57. Specifically, the April 2025 Schaaf & Wheeler report (Attachment 4) shows that the current Project design will not contribute to flood hazards and will not result in adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts on- or off-site. The potential impacts identified by Schaaf & Wheeler are minimal; as detailed in the report, they consist of a 0.4% increase in watershed flow, a .02-ft increase in water surface elevation in Pullman Ditch, and a .1-ft increase in water surface elevation at the Property. Due to sensitivity of the modeling methods and conservative inputs used by the City’s consultants, these represent maximum potential impacts. The proposed development is also not within a mapped flood zone.
Stormwater runoff from the new development will be contained onsite within the proposed detention basin along the western side of the Property. Current Project designs also address the remaining concern raised in the July 2024 Waterways report (Attachment 5). The Waterways report raised the issue that the height of the proposed stormwater detention system could impact flooding to adjacent properties. The applicant subsequently revised the design to reduce the height of the stormwater detention system. Therefore, staff does not recommend further design changes at this time.
In addition, Condition of Approval B4 requires the applicant to provide an irrevocable offer to dedicate a 30-foot easement adjacent to Pullman Ditch, which will give the City more options for working with all properties adjacent to the Ditch to improve flow and reduce flooding. This will facilitate recommendations from the September 11, 2024, Schaaf & Wheeler report and the LUP, which states that “existing hazards should be abated through a variety of potential measures.” (LUP, 7-44).
36
NOTICING AND PUBLIC INPUT:
Prior to the City Council meeting, a legal notice was published in the San Mateo County Daily Journal, notices were mailed to residents within 300 feet of the proposed Project site, and the site was also posted notifying the community of this item.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, staff recommends the City Council approve the application, based upon the Findings and Evidence contained in Exhibit A of the draft resolution, and subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit B. The City Council also has the option of adding or modifying the Conditions of Approval.

EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS AND EVIDENCE
City Council Resolution C-25-____
PDP-17-055
Coastal Development Permit – Findings for Approval
The required Coastal Development Permit for this Project may be approved or conditionally approved only after the approving authority has made the following findings per Municipal Code Section 18.20.070:
1. Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan – The development as proposed or as modified by conditions, conforms to the Local Coastal Program as certified by the California Coastal Commission on April 15, 2021.
Compliance: The Project consists of construction of a new single-family residence on an infill site in an existing neighborhood where all public services and infrastructure are provided or can be easily extended to the site, including sewer, water, gas, and electric utilities. With the implementation of the required mitigation measures, the Project conforms to City requirements, will not impact coastal resources, and is consistent with the policies of the City’s LUP.
LUP Policy 7-51. Flood Hazard Avoidance for New Development: Ensure that no new permitted development causes or contributes to flood hazards.
Compliance: The proposed development is not within a mapped flood zone. As shown by the September 11, 2024 and April 23, 2025 Schaaf & Wheeler reports, the Project will not cause or contribute to flood hazards. The report shows that potential impacts would only consist of a 0.4% increase in watershed flow, a .02-ft increase in water surface elevation in Pullman Ditch, and a .1-ft increase in water surface elevation at the property. Due to sensitivity of the modeling methods and conservative inputs used by the City’s consultants, these represent maximum potential impacts. Moreover, the Project includes an irrevocable offer to dedicate a 30-foot easement adjacent to Pullman Ditch, which the City will be able to use to address any flooding issues, including those that are currently impacting the area.
LUP Policy 7-57. Flood Protection Evaluation: Require new development proposals to evaluate potential impacts to adjacent or downstream properties from all proposed structural flood protection measures to ensure that the flood protection measures will not create adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts either on-site or off-site.
Compliance: The April 23, 2025 Schaaf & Wheeler report and July 23, 2024 Waterways report show that the Project, including the associated flood protection measures, will not create adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts either on-site or off-site. 41
LUP Policy 2-71. Residential Siting and Design Standards: Require development of new and remodeled structures within established neighborhoods to be sited and designed to be:
a. Compatible within each unique neighborhood area, including infrastructure and streetscape provisions such as walkways, street trees, and parking. b. Scaled and appropriate for the limitations of non-conforming sites, such as smaller residences on substandard sized parcels and those that must accommodate natural resources, hazards, watercourses, coastal access, and visual resource requirements.
Compliance: The proposed development is compatible within its neighborhood area and has been designed to avoid intrusion into habitat buffers.
Coastal Act 30240(b) and LUP Policy 6-12: Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of such habitat areas.
Compliance: The Pullman watercourse runs along the northern boundary of the subject property. The proposed Project has been designed to comply with the Riparian Buffer requirement within the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan/Zoning Ordinance, which requires a 30-foot setback from the centerline of this span of the Pullman watercourse.
Additionally, an update to the Biological Resource Assessment was prepared for the site and surrounding area and circulated to the resource agencies for a 45-day comment period. The biologist reviewed a copy of the plans. The report concluded that the mitigation measures included in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration are adequate for mitigating any potential effects on biological resources by the residential project. Given the distance of the subject improvements from the Pullman watercourse and the implementation of the required mitigation measures for biological resources, any significant impacts on environmentally sensitive habitat areas would be avoided.
LUP Policy 6-53. Non-Riparian Watercourse Buffers: Where a watercourse lacks riparian vegetation, the boundary of the watercourse is defined by the top of bank or similar confining topography. Proposed development along a non-riparian watercourse lacking riparian vegetation or other sensitive habitat value as determined by a site specific study, including man-made drainage ditches (e.g. non-riparian portions of Pullman Watercourse) but excluding active agriculture irrigation ditches, shall provide a minimum 20-foot buffer from the top of bank to provide space for potential meander belts and natural erosion and flooding hazards. The buffer requirements in Policies 6-49 and 6-50 shall apply to proposed development along a watercourse where a site-specific study identifies riparian vegetation or other sensitive habitat value.
Compliance: A non-riparian watercourse feature is located on the north side of the subject property. The proposed Project has been designed to comply with the non-riparian watercourses buffer requirements of the LUP (20 feet from top of bank) as well as the Zoning Ordinance buffer requirements (30 feet from the centerline). Additionally, a Biological 42
Resource Assessment and update were prepared for the site and surrounding area and included recommended mitigation measures. The mitigation measures included with the adopted CEQA document have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval, including condition A8 requiring buffer protection, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in order to reduce or eliminate any potential impacts on biological resources to a less than significant level. No additional adverse impacts were identified during the most recent biological analysis that took place. Given the distance of the proposed improvements from the non-riparian watercourse, and the implementation of the required mitigation measures for biological resources, any significant impacts on environmentally sensitive habitat areas would be avoided.
LUP Policy 6-76: Green Infrastructure: Promote and prioritize the use of Low Impact Development (LID) strategies, Best Management Practices (BMPs), and on-site infiltration to create green infrastructure for treating and reducing stormwater runoff. In and adjacent to ESHA, use resource-dependent green infrastructure projects for natural restoration purposes and provision of buffer areas to allow for natural erosion, evolution of natural drainage flows, and sediment transport balance.
Compliance: Several LID strategies have been integrated into the Project, including stormwater runoff onto vegetated areas away from the Pullman watercourse. Additionally, grading has been limited to what is needed for the new home and stormwater detention basin installation. No grading would take place within the non-riparian watercourse buffer.
BMPs would be implemented throughout construction. Policy compliance is demonstrated through the limited grading, in combination with the BMPs and stormwater detention.
LUP Policy 9-2: Scenic Resource Protection: New development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean, to minimize the alteration of natural land form, to be visually compatible with the character of its setting, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas.
Compliance: The Project will require limited grading for the construction of the home foundation and flatwork including the driveway. The proposed development is visually compatible with the character of its neighborhood setting. The Project has been sited and designed to protect views of the ocean from Cabrillo Highway and views of the ridgeline from the California Coastal Trail.
LUP Policy 9-6: Site Planning and Design for New Development: Require new development to be subject to design review to ensure it is sited and designed to protect public views of scenic and visual resource areas and to be visually compatible with the character of the surrounding area. Measures to be considered may include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Siting development in the least visible portion of the site; b. Breaking up the mass of new structures;
c. Designing structures to blend into the surrounding natural landscape; d. Restricting building maximum size and height;
43
e. Clustering or distributing development;
f. Incorporating landscape elements and screening; and
g. Conformance with any adopted design guidelines.
Compliance: The Project site is located within a designated visual resource area. The proposed residence is substantially similar to the bulk and mass of other developed residential lots within the Miramar neighborhood. The architecture and site improvements have been subject to design review by approval by the Planning Commission, with recommendations from the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC). As shown in the evidence provided for Architectural Site and Design Review findings below, the Project is in compliance with the Design Review Findings. The proposed garage is attached to the main dwelling through an integral breezeway, resulting in a clustered development format. The mass, scale, and clustered development format will not impact the visual resource areas nearest this project site.
LUP Policy 9-10. Fences, Walls, and Landscaping: Ensure that fences, walls, and landscaping shall not block public views of or from scenic and visual resource areas including along scenic corridors, at parks and beaches, and other scenic public viewing areas through height restrictions and required landscape maintenance.
Compliance: The Project includes low-lying landscape walls around the permitter of the new home. Split rail fence would be constructed along the riparian buffer edge and wrapped around the rear of the lot to limit access to the Further Restricted Area. Drought-tolerant, coastal-compatible landscaping has been included in the comprehensive landscape plan, which further supports compliance with this site planning and design policy of the LUP.
LUP Policy 9-12. Town Boulevard Scenic Corridor: Require that new development in close proximity to or easily visible from the Town Boulevard scenic corridor, including Highways 1 and 92:
a. Protects views of visual resource areas as seen from the Town Boulevard, including views to the ocean, upland slopes (i.e., minimizes intrusions into the ridgeline), and the historic Johnston House;
b. Incorporates design standards such as screening of commercial parking areas and landscaping provisions; and
c. Is visually compatible with the surrounding land and development.
Update the IP with additional standards for new development along the Town Boulevard based on additional study of the scenic corridor. Assessment should, at a minimum, consider views of visual resource areas from the perspective of existing and potential development along the Town Boulevard and identify scenic segments along Highway 1 and 92, including views of the ridgelines and other visual resource areas. Development standards should address, at a minimum, appropriate building heights and setbacks, longest wall lines, minimum space between buildings, and streetscape design. 44
Compliance: The Project has been reviewed by the AAC on two occasions. The ACC considered story pole installations and the potential impact of the home design relative to the Town Boulevard Scenic Corridor and views from the California Coastal Trail. The conclusion was that the design is substantially compatible with surrounding land and development. The custom home was designed with unique site conditions on mind, including the angular shape of the lot and the mature Cypress trees along the southern property line.
LUP Policy 9-16. Broad Ocean Views: Ensure that areas providing broad, public ocean views, including as designated on Figure 9-1, are preserved and enhanced in association with new development projects. In such areas, structures shall be sited and designed to avoid obstruction of broad, public ocean views, shall not exceed 15 feet in height unless an increase in height would not obstruct public views to the ocean or would facilitate clustering of development so as to result in greater view protection, and shall ensure that any proposed landscaping, when mature, will not obstruct public views to the ocean.
Compliance: The new home is screened from view from Cabrillo Highway by the two neighboring homes to the east. Both neighboring homes are two story and one is currently under construction. Broad ocean views would not be impacted by the new home.
LUP Policy 9-17. California Coastal Trail Views. Ensure that views of the ocean, bluffs, upland slopes, and ridgelines from the California Coastal Trail are protected, particularly in areas adjacent to substantially undeveloped Planned Developments (PDs) including Surf Beach/Dunes Beach, Venice Beach, West of Railroad, and North Wavecrest. Require sufficient setbacks, height limits, and other design standards for any new development permitted near the trail to minimize impacts to visual resources.
Compliance: The Project will not obstruct ridgeline views from the California Coastal Trail as demonstrated by the story pole installation. The height and location of the installed story poles were verified by a licensed surveyor as demonstrated by a submitted verification letter from the surveyor and applicant.
Coastal Act 30244: Where development would adversely impact archaeological or paleontological resources as identified by the State Historic Preservation Officer, reasonable mitigation measures shall be required.
Compliance: According to the LUP, the proposed single-family residence is located in an area identified as sensitive for archaeological resources; however, during environmental review, no known archeological resources were identified on the site or adjacent properties.
If cultural resources or paleontological resources are unexpectedly encountered during subsurface excavation, the permit has been conditioned to require that construction halt until the find can be evaluated and appropriate mitigation identified. 45
LUP Policy 2-41: Continued Development in Substantially Developed Planned Developments. Allow continued development within substantially developed PDs provided that additional development falls within the maximum allowed buildout as established in the LUP and certified master plan for the PD. Additional development may be allowed as follows:
a. Remaining parcels or phases as consistent with the approved master plan; b. Minor modification including changes of use of and additions to existing development as consistent with allowed uses and the siting and design requirements of the approved master plan and compatible with the existing development.
Compliance: The Project is located within the Stoloski/Gonzalez PD District. The entire PD site has been planned as a unit through the Subdivision Map, Planned Unit Development Plan, and subsequent settlement agreement that established development standards for the entire Stoloski/Gonzalez PD. The new residence and associated improvements conform to the development chapter and related policies of the LUP. The subject property is one of four lots within the Stoloski/Gonzalez PD. The new residence and site improvements conform to the development standards that were adopted with the Planned Development.
2. Growth Management System – The development is consistent with the annual population limitation system established in the Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Evidence: The proposed site was granted a valid Measure D Certificate for the construction of one single-family residence. Therefore, the project conforms to the requirements of the City’s growth management system.
3. Zoning Provisions – The development is consistent with the use limitations and property development standards of the base district as well as the other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Evidence: The proposed residence conforms to all requirements of the approved PUD Development Standards associated with the subdivision approval, including lot coverage, setbacks, height, and parking, and to the Zoning Code’s riparian buffer requirements.
4. Adequate Services – The proposed development will be provided with adequate services and infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program.
Evidence: The site is located adjacent to an existing developed neighborhood and utilities and services are currently provided to the site. The utilities and roadway were extended from the City of Naples Subdivision shortly after the Final Parcel Map was recorded. As conditioned, a sewer permit through Granada Community Services District is required.
5. California Coastal Act – Any development to be located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea conforms to the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act.
46
Evidence: The proposed Project is located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea. The proposal is to construct a new single-family home and associated improvements on a vacant lot adjacent to an existing developed neighborhood. Adequate public access to the Coastal Trail, Naples Beach, and the coast is available approximately 300 feet away from the subject property, along Washington Boulevard. Therefore, sufficient access to coastal resources from the subject property and surrounding area is available as required by Chapter 18.40 of the Zoning Ordinance and the Project would not restrict public access or recreation opportunities.
General Plan Housing Element Conformance – Findings for Approval The Project is consistent with the Housing Element as it relates to the residential use of the site.
Evidence: The subject property is identified as a site suitable for residential development within the Cycle 5 Housing Element and the Cycle 6 draft Housing Element.
Architectural Site and Design Review – Findings
The required Architectural and/or Site and Design Review for this Project may be approved or conditionally approved only after the approving authority has made the findings per Municipal Code Section 14.37.040. In making these findings, the City Council has considered the design approval criteria set forth in Municipal Code Section 14.37.035.
1. That such buildings, structures, planting, paving and other improvements shall be so designed and constructed that they will not be of unsightly or obnoxious appearance to the extent that they will hinder the orderly and harmonious development of the city; Evidence: Zoning Code Section 18.06.010 states that the intent of the residential chapter is to establish residential districts and guide the orderly development within each district. It further states that the residential district regulations are intended to ensure provision of adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling by establishing reasonable development standards for the mass, scale, and location on a building site for all new residential construction and to achieve a high standard of site and building design and design compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed improvements have been designed in conformance with the requirements of the adopted PUD Development Standards. The proposed home, although large, is also in substantial conformance with the Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines, the objectives of which include ensuring compatible design within existing neighborhood contexts. The development is also in scale with the site which is significantly larger than most others in the adjacent Miramar neighborhood.
2. That such buildings, structures, planting, paving and other improvements will not impair the desirability or opportunity to attain the optimum use and the value of the land and the 47
improvements, or otherwise impair the desirability of living or working conditions in the same or adjacent areas; and
Evidence: The proposed project has been designed in conformance with the requirements of the PUD (Stoloski/Gonzalez) Zoning District which are intended to ensure provision of adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling by establishing reasonable development standards for the mass, scale, and location on a building site within the fourparcel Stoloski/Gonzalez subdivision. The Project is also in substantial conformance with the Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines (RDG), the objectives of which include maintaining strong property values, compatible neighborhoods, and a healthy environment.
3. The project has been designed in conformance and consistency with the Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines (where applicable).
Evidence: The RDG encourages flexibility in architectural design to reflect the community’s eclectic character and seek to achieve compatible design within existing neighborhoods. The current Project proposes a neo-traditional design that is compatible with the existing pattern of development in the surrounding area in terms of building placement/orientation, massing, and materials and colors. The surrounding neighborhood can be characterized as having an eclectic mixture of architectural styles and features. This Project in particular involves the construction of a new two-story custom home that reflects the triangular shape of the lot.
The proposed design completely screens the garage and vehicle parking from Champs Elysee Boulevard. Consistent with Guidelines 2-11 and 2-12, the proposed design does “[d]eemphasize the garages’ presence as viewed from the public right-of-way” and “[s]ituate detached garages to the side or rear of the house to diminish the prominence of the garage door.”
Environmental Review – Finding
CEQA – The Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Based on the whole record before the City Council (including the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Stoloski/Gonzalez subdivision and staff and consultant review of the proposed residence), there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment.
Substantial evidence supports the conclusion that no subsequent environmental review is required because there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the Project is to be undertaken that would result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts requiring major revisions to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration, and there is no new information that involves new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified environmental effects that would require preparation of an EIR or a subsequent or supplemental Mitigated Negative 48
Declaration pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162.
Evidence: An Initial Study (IS) and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) were prepared and adopted for approval of the Stoloski/Gonzalez four-residential lot subdivision and associated Planned Unit Development Plan in conformance with the requirements of CEQA. The proposed residence is located on one of those four lots, conforms to the requirements of the Plan, and is required to comply with the mitigation measures in the MND as a condition of approval. City staff reviewed the proposed project and did not identify any adverse significant effects on the environment. The pPoject biologist reevaluated the site and prepared an update to the biological resource evaluation. No changed circumstances or new impacts to biological resources were identified through the update process. The biologist concluded that the mitigation measures adopted with the previous MND are appropriate for the new house and site improvements. 49

Subject: 2800 Champs Elysee Boulevard Flood Impact Study Dear Maziar Bozorginia
Schaaf & Wheeler was hired to determine the hydrologic and hydraulic impacts of the development of 2800 Champs Elysee Boulevard (Site) on Pullman Ditch. The Site in relation to Pullman Ditch can be seen in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Location of 2800 Champs Blvd
The 100-year storm was analyzed because it is the storm event that is used by FEMA to map floodplains and the site has a proposed detention basin designed to detain the volume of runoff generated during storm events up to a 25-year storm event. Schaaf & Wheeler reviewed the calculations of the detention basin and it has adequate capacity for the runoff generated from the site during a 25-year event.
The existing conditions are based on previous modeling done by Schaaf & Wheeler in September 2024 which used County LiDAR data from 2017 and survey data from Waterways Consulting Inc. of the Pullman Ditch. However, this analysis used the City’s zoning data to ATTACHMENT 4
65 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025
Schaaf & Wheeler 2
develop hydrologic flows which meant that the analysis already included this parcel as developed.
To account for the changes on this site based on the proposed development, the hydrology was re-done based on existing conditions using aerial imagery instead of zoning parcel data.
Proposed conditions are based on the same LiDAR and survey with the addition of the building plans provided by JMH Weiss and dated August 2024.
Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses
The impacts of developing the Site include increased flow to Pullman Ditch either due to greater impervious surfaces or increased blockage. The rise in imperviousness is caused by converting undeveloped land into a residence and leads to higher flow into Pullman Ditch. This scenario was analyzed using hydrologic modeling in HEC-HMS. Additionally, increased blockage from the proposed structure redirects more water into Pullman Ditch. These blockage effects were evaluated in HEC-RAS using the peak hydrologic flows from HEC-HMS.
Hydrologic Analysis
HEC-HMS needs two inputs into the model - the characteristics of the watershed and the rainfall patterns to determine a peak flow. Watershed characteristics include area, curve number, percent impervious, and lag time for the model to understand how the watershed generates runoff. These values are presented in Table 1.
Table 1. HEC-HMS Watershed Characteristics
Parameter Value
Area (acres) 143
Curve Number 73(AMC II½)
Impervious (%) 48
Lag Time (minutes) 17.1
The watershed area to Pullman Ditch was determined using the 2017 San Mateo County LiDAR, survey data from 2023, and discussions with City of Half Moon Bay (City) staff. The watershed area is approximately 143 acres (converted to miles for HMS) and can be seen in Figure 2. The 2800 Champs lot is on the figure for comparison and is 0.68 acres. 66 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025
Schaaf & Wheeler 3
Figure 2. Pullman Ditch Watershed
Antecedent moisture condition (AMC) is defined as the moisture content of a soil prior to any precipitation event. The Santa Clara County Drainage Manual (County Manual) specifies a calibrated AMC value to properly convert the rainfall event’s frequency of occurrence into the equivalent frequency of the runoff event. The 100-year storm is categorized under AMC II ½.
The curve number (CN) was calculated using soil group data and land classification. The soil group was determined by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS runoff CNs were assigned to the City land use designations based on hydraulic soil group using values published in the County Manual. The land use and percent impervious for each land use type is based on values published in the County Manual and validated using high-resolution aerial photography.
Most of the watershed land use classification is mixed forest and grassland. A small portion is commercial (Rocket Farms). An even smaller portion is single-family residential. The majority of the soil group classification are groups B and D, with a small portion in Group C. Detailed calculations can be found in Attachment 1.
Lag time was calculated per equation 4-1 in the County Manual. The watershed roughness value (N) was determined to be 0.08 for natural channels with little to no urbanization since the majority of the watershed is mixed forest and grassland. The longest flow path and slope were calculated using ArcGIS Pro.
The County Manual provides the total rainfall depth for each mean annual precipitation (MAP) and storm frequency using equation 3-3. The MAP within Half Moon Bay is 28 inches based on the MAP figure in the County Manual. The County’s rainfall pattern is distributed in 5-minute time increments, with a fraction of the total rainfall apportioned to each 5-minute increment, as 67 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025
Schaaf & Wheeler 4
shown in Attachment 2. The resulting 24-hour rainfall pattern with 5-minute time steps is then prorated based on the MAP.
Land type is the only watershed parameter that would change from the proposed development changing the parcel from undeveloped to single family residential. The percent impervious would change from 0% (undeveloped) to 25% (low-density residential). The curve number would change from 52 (Soil type B, Open space) to 58 (Soil Type B, low density residential).
These changes do not change the overall watershed imperviousness and curve numbers since the lot is 0.68 acres and the watershed area is 143 acres. Any change from the Site would only account for 0.005% of the total watershed. Therefore, there is only one HEC-HMS scenario and so there is no change in flow.
The peak flow for the 100-year was determined to be 175.0 cfs and the hydrograph is shown in Figure 3. This hydrograph was used as in the input for the hydraulic model in HEC-RAS.
Figure 3. 100-Year Hydrograph
Hydrologic QAQC Analysis
The HEC-HMS was used to calculate the overall watershed’s peak flow is less sensitive to small changes in land use such as those created by the 2800 Champs development. Therefore, the Rational Method was used to determine the additional peak flow created by the development.
The Rational Method is an equation that requires watershed characteristics such as the runoff coefficient, intensity, and study area. The runoff coefficient for the undeveloped scenario was chosen to be equivalent to the land use type known as “open space” and the developed scenario was chosen to be “low density residential”. The runoff coefficients were taken from the County Manual. The intensity is the design rainfall intensity (inches per hour) for a duration 68 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025
Schaaf & Wheeler 5
equal to the time of concentration for the basin. A time of concentration of 5-minutes for the residential (proposed) scenario and 10-minutes for the undeveloped (existing) scenario were selected. The rainfall intensity was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which is based on real-life gages. The area used was the total lot area for 2800 Champs which is 0.68 acres. The parameters are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2. Rational Method Watershed Characteristics
Scenarios
Parameter Undeveloped Developed
Runoff Coefficient (C) 0.10 0.30
Time of Concentration (min) 10 5
100yr Intensity (in/hour) 3.14 4.39
Area (acres) 0.68 0.68
The 100-year peak flow for the undeveloped scenario resulted in 0.2 cfs and the developed scenario in 0.9 cfs.so there is a 0.7 cfs increase to Pullman Ditch from developing the site.
Hydraulic Analysis
Two-dimensional (2D) modeling in HEC-RAS was determined to be the appropriate modeling for Pullman Ditch to better understand and trace the additional flow from the development of 2800 Champs. Schaaf & Wheeler previously studied this area and created HEC-RAS modeling in September 2024. The previous geometry was modified to account for the proposed structure at 2800 Champs based on the drawings from JMH Weiss. The peak flow used was 175.7 cfs based on the 175 cfs from HEC-HMS and 0.7 cfs from the Rational Method.
Schaaf & Wheeler georeferenced the plans and created a blockage based on the perimeter of the proposed house, garage and deck. The detention basin was not modeled as a blockages because the PDF grading plans show the finished grading of the perimeter to be at existing grade. The depth of the pond was not model because the pond is only sized for a 25-year event and so it would be full of water during the 100-year event. Water would not be stored in the pond and would continue to flow through the area as if it was land.
The proposed blockage (house, garage and deck) was set to be at an arbitrary elevation higher than the surrounding area. The elevation nearby ranges from about 30.0 ft NAVD88 to 40.0 ft NAVD88, so the blockage is set at 50.0 ft NAVD88 to fully account for the obstruction of any overland flows. Figure 4 shows the outline of the blockages. 69 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025
Schaaf & Wheeler 6
Figure 4. Blockage Location
Model results show that during the 100-year storm, the proposed development creates a change in water surface elevation of 0.02-ft within Pullman Ditch which could be related to the blockage or due to modeling sensitivity. The maximum water surface elevation difference in the overbank spills from Pullman Ditch is 0.1-ft and occurs 50.0-ft south of the proposed development and is contained within the parcel to be developed. Figures 8-11 are crosssections that demonstrate the water surface elevation differences. The location of the selected cross-sections can be seen on Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 shows the water surface elevations (WSE) of the existing model (without the development) and Figure 7 shows the proposed WSE (with the development). The proposed structure is being placed on an area of high ground that does not provide significant conveyance for the spills out of Pullman Ditch. 70 To: Maziar Borzorginia April 23, 2025

At your request, we have prepared a civil engineering peer review of the following documents, pertaining to the proposed development of a single‐family residence at 2800 Champs Elysse Blvd, Half Moon Bay. The proposed development is located adjacent and parallel to the left (looking downstream) bank of a storm drainage channel referenced as the Pullman Ditch.
Although the Pullman Ditch is not a FEMA mapped watercourse, it has historically been a source of local flooding and has been identified as a priority for future storm drainage improvements.
We understand the importance of ensuring the proposed development would not worsen flooding within the Pullman Ditch or adjacent properties.
Our review is limited to the proposed storm drainage improvements, including related earthwork.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Our project understanding is based on our review of the above‐mentioned documents and multiple site visits that were performed by Waterways in the spring of 2023 with the purpose of reviewing general drainage conditions along the Pullman Ditch and adjacent properties.
The project proposes a single‐family residence with an attached garage and driveway. These improvements are located at the northeast portion of a wedge‐shaped parcel with the narrowest point of the parcel oriented toward the southwest. The north‐easterly end of the lot abuts the cul‐de‐sac at Champs Elysee Blvd, at elevation 38(+/‐). The south‐westerly end is at elevation 31(+/‐), resulting in the parcel having an average ground slope of about 1.5% toward the southwest. The residence and garage have finished floor elevations set at 36.00, requiring that the northeasterly end of the residence is set below the proposed adjacent finish grade of
37.5(+/‐). The adjacent finish grade at the southwest end of the residence is set between 33.0 and 34.5, which is 1.5 to 3.0 feet below the proposed finished floor.
Grading and Drainage Summary
The designs propose to route roof and landscape runoff to a constructed earth retention basin at the southwest end of the parcel. Runoff is generally routed to the basin via subsurface PVC drainpipes that collect water from roof drains and numerous area drains positioned around the proposed residence, garage and driveway. Earthen swales are proposed running parallel to the northwesterly and southeasterly sides of the residence and they also discharge to area drains feeding pipes that outlet in the proposed retention basin. It appears that all runoff from the proposed impervious improvements and adjacent landscaped areas is effectively routed to the basin.
The elevation at the bottom of the basin ranges from 30.5 at the southwest to 31.5 at the northern corner. An earthen berm surrounds the basin, with a minimum crest elevation of 32.6.
The emergency spillway which drains the basin is a rocked apron set to elevation 32.5.
The basin is sized to allow full capture and retention of all precipitation volume resulting from a 1000‐year 24‐hr storm event over proposed impervious areas, which total 4300sf. Rainfall depth was estimated at 9.23 inches, using NOAA Atlas 14 data. The total required storage volume is 3,307 cubic feet. The proposed storage volume is 3406 cf. It appears that the basin would provide significantly more storage capacity than would typically be required.
The recommended design infiltration rate, based on tests performed by Geoferensics, is 1‐inch per hour. This rate would allow for the basin to drain within 24 hrs. We understand the infiltration test was performed in June of 2024. We were not provided with rainy season groundwater levels.
Review Comments
The proposed storm drainage plan and grading elements appear adequate to address on‐site precipitation and related drainage. The basin has significantly more storage capacity than is required.
82 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ecological Restoration Design ~ Civil Engineering ~ Natural Resource Management The berm surrounding the proposed retention basin is raised by more than a foot above the surrounding ground. Model results provided in the Drainage Master Plan Update indicate that the area in the vicinity of the basin would likely be inundated by flood flows during events of 10‐ year or greater magnitude storms. This is due to the limited capacity of the existing Pullman Ditch, which is restricted locally by the presence of a 24‐inch culvert just downstream of the proposed basin. It appears from review of mapping and photos that flows overtopping the banks of the ditch in this vicinity would primarily travel to the south (Photo 1).
Photo #1: Looking downstream at the entrance to the culvert located on the Pullman Ditch, immediately adjacent to the proposed basin. Note that the left bank is significantly lower than the right bank in this location.
The raised berm proposed at the basin could redirect flood waters to the northwest, worsening flooding on adjacent parcels to the north of the ditch. The southern portions of the proposed residence may also block existing flood overflow flow paths, though this appears less likely due to the raised elevation of the lot in the vicinity of the residence. Additional hydraulic modeling of the ditch and floodplain, under existing and proposed conditions, is recommended to evaluate these potential adverse impacts. Alternatively, it appears the basin could be lowered to eliminate the need for a perimeter berm, thereby mitigating this concern. Additional wet‐season groundwater monitoring may be required to confirm the feasibility of this approach.
The retention basin provides almost no freeboard, with the emergency spillway set only 0.1 ft below the earthen rim. The design water surface associated with various rainfall events was not provided. The berm’s crest is approximately 12‐inches wide and composed of earth fill. Our experience suggests that rodent burrows within the berm could reasonably be expected to compromise the ability to retain water to the full depth. We suggest lowering the rocked spillway and/or lowering and reducing the size of the basin to allow a broader crest width within a similar footprint. Since the basin appears to be considerably over‐sized, lowering the berm and 83 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ecological Restoration Design ~ Civil Engineering ~ Natural Resource Management base of the basin could reduce maintenance and improve performance. As noted above, this might also alleviate flood‐related concerns.
This concludes our review of the documents provided. We are available to respond to questions or review and comment on revisions or supplemental information, as it becomes available.

SUBJECT: Pullman Ditch Hydrologic Analyses
Introduction
Schaaf & Wheeler evaluated the hydrologic and hydraulic effects on Pullman Ditch located in Half Moon Bay in San Mateo County, shown in Figure 1. The 10-year and 100-year storm events were evaluated on the existing conditions at Pullman Ditch based on County LIDAR data from 2017 and recent survey data from Waterways Consulting Inc. of the Pullman Ditch.

Hydrologic Analysis
HEC-HMS was determined to be the appropriate hydrologic modeling tool to calculate the peak 10-year and 100-year storm hydrographs to be used in HEC-RAS for further analysis. HECHMS needs two inputs into the model – the characteristics of the watershed and the rainfall patterns. Watershed characteristics include area, curve number, percent impervious, and lag time for the model to understand how the watershed generates runoff. These values are presented in Table 1 for the Pullman watershed.
Table 1. HEC-HMS Watershed Characteristics
Parameter Value
Area (mi^2) 0.22
Curve Number 72 (AMC II½)
Impervious (%) 51
Lag Time (minutes) 17.1
The watershed area to Pullman Ditch was determined using the 2017 San Mateo County LiDAR, survey data from 2023, and discussions with City of Half Moon Bay (City) staff. The watershed area is approximately 143 acres (converted to miles for HMS) and can be seen in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Pullman Ditch Watershed
Antecedent moisture condition (AMC) is defined as the moisture content of a soil prior to any precipitation event. The Santa Clara County Drainage Manual (County Manual) specifies a

calibrated AMC value to properly convert the rainfall event’s frequency of occurrence into the equivalent frequency of the runoff event. The 10-year and 100-year storm are both categorized under AMC II ½.
The curve number (CN) was calculated using soil group data and land classification. The soil group was determined by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The land use classification was taken from the 2016 Storm Drain Master Plan. NRCS runoff CNs were assigned to the City land use designations based on hydraulic soil group using values published in the County Manual. The percent impervious for each land use type is based on values published in the County Manual and validated using the high-resolution aerial photography.
Most of the watershed land use classification is mixed forest and grassland. A small portion is commercial (Rocket Farms). An even smaller portion is single-family residential. The majority of the soil group classification are groups B and D, with a small portion in Group C. Detailed calculations can be found in Attachment 1.
Lag time was calculated per equation 4-1 in the County Manual. The watershed roughness value (N) was determined to be 0.08 for natural channels with little to no urbanization since the majority of the watershed is mixed forest and grassland. The longest flow path and slope were calculated using ArcGIS Pro.
The County Manual provides the total rainfall depth for each mean annual precipitation (MAP) and storm frequency using equation 3-3. The MAP within Half Moon Bay is 28 inches based on the MAP figure in the County Manual. The County’s rainfall pattern is distributed in 5-minute time increments, with a fraction of the total rainfall apportioned to each 5-minute increment, as shown in Attachment 2. The resulting 24-hour rainfall pattern with 5-minute time steps is then prorated based on the MAP.
Hydrologic Results
The peak flow for the 10-year storm was determined to be 110 cfs. The peak flow for the 100- year storm was calculated to be 180 cfs. The hydrographs can be seen in Figures 3 and 4.
These are the hydrographs that were used as inputs for the hydraulic model in HEC-RAS. 87 To: City of Half Moon Bay

Hydraulic Analysis
Two-dimensional (2D) modeling in HEC-RAS was determined to be the appropriate modeling for Pullman Ditch to better understand and trace the overbank spills. The 2D graphics were also used to verify that the model spills align with the observations of maintenance staff and residents in the field. The geometry of the model was created by merging the survey of Pullman Ditch done by Waterways Consulting Inc. in 2023 and the County LiDAR from 2017. An overview of the structure naming convention based on the survey can be seen in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Overview of Pullman Ditch Structures
The existing culverts and bridges were modeled based on the survey data, which provided lengths, inverts, diameters, and material of the culverts. The survey also provided low chord and top-of-wall of bridges, which were used to approximate the Pullman and Champs Bridge crossings.
The 10-year and 100-year hydrographs from the HMS were used as the inputs for the unsteady flow analysis. The location of the inflow was set directly at the opening of Pullman Ditch on the opposite side of Highway 1 to isolate the flow going into the ditch versus the flow weiring over the highway. A landcover file was created in RAS with Manning’s n values of 0.04 in the channel and 0.06 in the overbanks. Boundary conditions were set at normal depth at the northwest area to allow water to flow off the 2D mesh. A figure of the overall hydraulic model set up can be seen in Figure 6.

Hydraulic Results
For the 10-year storm, the existing conditions model shows that only about 72 cfs of the entire 110 cfs enter the Pullman Ditch System. Most of the water is lost at Culvert 3 (loss of 24 cfs) and Culvert 2 (loss of 16 cfs). There is a small loss of 0.1 cfs at Pullman Bridge, which is considered minimal. Therefore, Culvert 3 and 2 are the main limiting factors for hydraulic conveyance.
For the 100-year storm, about 92 cfs of the total 180 cfs enter the system and only 56 cfs discharge at Culvert 1. The majority of flow is lost at Culvert 3 and 2 again. A summary of all locations of flow at each structure can be seen in Figure 7 for the 10-year and Figure 8 for the 100-year.

An additional run was created, which we refer to as “Proposed 60” Culvert 1.” State Parks is proposing a project to replace Culvert 1 with one 60-inch pipe that outfalls to the beach rather than the existing a 24-inch and 18-inch pipes that convey water under the trail to the ocean. The existing pipes are causing scour at the culvert outlets.
Our results show that altering Culvert 1 improves the system capacity and increases the outflow at Culvert 1 to 40 cfs instead of 24 cfs. The system still loses most of the flow at Culvert 3, with the loss remaining the same as the existing scenario. The proposed modification to Culvert 1 has a greater impact on the 100-year scenario. The water that is lost at Culvert 3 appears to return to the system at the invert of Culvert 1, allowing most of the water that entered the system to discharge.
Visual summaries of the scenarios can be seen in Figures 9 and 10. Table 2 summarizes existing and proposed scenarios for the 10-year and 100-year.

Sensitivity Analysis
Some sensitivity analyses were done to the RAS model to determine more in-depth efforts for the future. The first analysis examined raising the low points in the bank on the north side between Culvert 2 and the downstream end of Champs Bridge. As seen in the previous figures, water flows to the north when Culvert 3 and Culvert 2 overflow. We do not believe this is the case due to the terrain having high points on the north side (see Figure 11 for the elevation profile).
Figure 11. Elevation Profile Downstream of Champs Bridge (looking downstream) To prevent this, we artificially added of blockage at an elevation of 500 feet to force the water on the south side. The results show that slightly less water is lost from Culvert 2 (10 cfs rather than 16 cfs), and more water discharges from the overall system (45 cfs instead of 24 cfs). Only the 10-year was analyzed for time purposes. A visual overview can be seen in Figure 12. A table summary can be seen in Table 3.

The second analysis was completed to examine the effects of clearing out the channel vegetation. To simulate this, we changed the Manning’s n channel roughness from 0.04 to
0.025. Since the results show no change, this will not be pursued further in the future. A visual overview can be seen in Figure 13.

Figure 13. Manning’s N Reduction (Cleaned Channel) Modeling Results Alternative Conditions
Two proposed improvements to handle the overflow from Culvert 3 and Culvert 2 were considered: a bypass pipe and a bypass channel. To size the bypass channel and pipe, we used the overflow from the 100-year scenario, which was 46 cfs. We assumed the inverts to be the same as the invert at Culvert 3 (31.0 feet) and the invert at Culvert 1 (26.5 feet) since this is where the bypass system would have to connect into the existing ditch. By manipulating Manning’s equation for circular pipes and open channel flow, we were able to size the corresponding items. The proposed sizing can be seen in Figure 14. 96 To: City of Half Moon Bay

Recommendations
Based on the analyses above, we recommend further design of a bypass for the hydraulic restrictions on Culverts 2 and 3. These bypass structures would be best constructed on the south side of the ditch, connecting to the left bank (looking downstream). The exact size and slopes should be investigated, along with potentially lowering of the 60-inch pipe under the trail to optimize the capacity of the bypass.

1 Settlement Agreement
Vidovich v. City of Half Moon Bay
(San Mateo County Superior Court Case No. 24-CIV-08216) PART I: PARTIES
A. This settlement agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of May 6, 2025 (“Effective Date”) between John Vidovich (“Petitioner”) and the City of Half Moon Bay (the “City,” and collectively the “Parties”).
PART II: RECITALS
A. Petitioner owns a 31,709 square foot lot located at 2800 Champs Elysee Boulevard, City of Half Moon Bay, CA, identified as San Mateo County Assessor’s Parcel Number 048-133-060 (“Property”).
B. On August 16, 2017, Petitioner submitted an application to the City requesting approval of a Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) and Architectural Review to allow for the construction of a new single-family residence on the Property, which was designated application PDP-17-055 (the “Project”).
C. On July 31, 2017, the City issued to Petitioner a Measure D residential dwelling unit allocation (“Measure D Allocation”) for the Project.
D. The City’s Planning Commission considered the Project at public hearings on August 14, 2018, April 9, 2019, and May 26, 2020.
E. Following submission of a revised design proposal, the Architectural Advisory Committee conducted duly noticed public design review sessions to consider the Project on September 22 and December 15, 2022.
F. On July 11, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Project.
At the hearing, the Commission expressed concern regarding drainage and potential flooding related to the Project, continued the hearing on the Project to a later date, and directed staff to further evaluate stormwater containment, the applicability of the 10-year flood event analysis, and drainage and grading issues associated with the Project. The Commission also identified concerns with the Project’s conformance with Land Use Plan (“LUP”) Policy 7-12 (Site-Specific Shoreline Hazards Evaluation), Policy 7-8 (Shoreline Hazards and New Development), and Policy 7-10 (Shoreline Hazard Mapping).
G. On September 10, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the revised Project. The Commission denied the Project by a 3-0 vote, with two commissioners absent, and adopted Resolution for Denial PDP-17-055 (“Resolution of Denial”) on the grounds that (1) the Planning Commission lacked sufficient information to determine the Project would not cause or contribute to flood hazards under LUP Policy 7-51; and (2) the Project failed to evaluate potential impacts to adjacent properties from its proposed flood protection measures under LUP Policy 7-57.
ATTACHMENT 7
104
2 H. On September 13, 2024, Petitioner appealed the Planning Commission’s decision.
I. On October 15, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Petitioner’s appeal. The Council voted 2-2 on a motion to grant the appeal and voted 2-2 on a motion to deny the appeal, with one Council member recused. Because a tie vote is deemed denial of such an appeal, the City Council affirmed the Planning Commission’s Resolution of Denial.
J. On December 23, 2024, Petitioner filed a “Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus and Complaint for Damages and for Violations of Due Process, Equal Protection, and Takings,” challenging the City’s denial of the Project (“Lawsuit”).
K. On February 4, 2025, the City provided to Petitioner the September 11, 2024 summary of the Pullman Ditch hydrological modeling carried out by Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers).
L. On March 3, 2025, Petitioner submitted to the City its analysis of the Schaaf & Wheeler summary.
M. On April 23, 2025, the City’s consultant completed additional modeling of the Pullman Ditch to analyze potential on- and off-site impacts of the Project (the “Project Modeling”) to ensure (i) the Project will not cause or contribute to flooding, as required by LUP Policy 7-51, and (ii) that flood control measures will not create adverse direct and/or cumulative impacts on- or off-site, as required by LUP Policy 7-57. The additional modeling concluded the Project will not significantly impact flooding or the Pullman Ditch.
N. The Parties have engaged in settlement discussions and desire to settle, compromise, and resolve any and all existing issues and claims regarding the Project and development of the Property, without any party admitting or denying the truthfulness of any of the allegations or claims raised between and among the Parties and without accepting any liability arising out of such claims, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
O. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
PART III: AGREEMENT
Section 1. City Review of the Project. The City Council will hold a hearing within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement to consider approving the Project, with the proposed conditions of approval included in the draft resolution attached to the September 10, 2024 staff report, with the exception that Condition b.5 (Hydrological Modeling) will be deleted. The record for the Project shall include the record of proceedings leading up to and including the City Council’s effective denial of the appeal on October 15, 2024, plus any new record materials submitted to the City after that date.
Section 2. Dismissal of Lawsuit. If the City Council approves the Project without imposing any conditions of approval that are substantially different than the conditions of
105
3 approval proposed by staff in the materials submitted to the City Council in conjunction with the October 15, 2024 appeal, then no later than ten (10) days after such approval, Petitioner shall file a request for dismissal of the Lawsuit with prejudice (“Dismissal”).
Section 3. Effect of City Council Denial of Project. If the City Council denies the Project, all remaining, unperformed obligations under this Agreement shall be null and void and this Agreement shall terminate.
Section 4. Measure D Allocation. The Measure D Allocation previously issued to Petitioner for the Project shall remain valid and in effect during the pendency of the Project application pursuant to this Agreement, as expiration of the Measure D Allocation is tolled by Petitioner’s pursuit of Project approval and the City’s reconsideration of the Project application under this Agreement. If the City Council approves the Project in accordance with Section 2, above, the Measure D Allocation shall apply to the Project and Petitioner will not be required to submit an application for a new Measure D Allocation.
Section 5. Staff Costs and Attorneys’ Fees.
(a) If the Parties file the Dismissal (as required by Section 2), the City shall agree to waive all outstanding staff costs incurred in connection with Project review, whether incurred prior to or following inception of the Lawsuit, and inclusive of the costs of preparing an administrative record.
(b) Petitioner shall not seek to recover from the City any of its attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses relating to the Lawsuit or this Agreement. This section does not preclude Petitioner from seeking such attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses, as well as additional attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses in any future litigation involving the Property if the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3.
(c) The City shall not seek to recover from Petitioner any of its attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses relating to the Lawsuit or this Agreement.
Section 6. Mutual Releases
(a) Release by Petitioner. Upon dismissal of the Lawsuit, Petitioner shall be conclusively deemed to have released and forever discharged the City and its agents, employees, officers, or officials from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, complaints, obligations, costs, expenses, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, and demands that Petitioner ever had or now has, or may have in the future, whether known or unknown, arising from or related to the facts pleaded in the Lawsuit. This release shall not be construed to limit the rights of Petitioner (1) to enforce the rights, claims, or obligations created by this Agreement or the Notice of Limitations, or (2) to pursue challenge relating to any future development proposal. (b) Civil Code Section 1542 Release. The release agreed to by the Parties in Section 6(a) of this Agreement is intended to be a full settlement of each and every claim of every kind and nature, known or unknown, as between those parties for whom a release has been exchanged arising from the circumstances described in the Lawsuit. The City and Petitioner each certify that they have read Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, set out below:
106
4 A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
Section 7. Termination Upon Issuance of CDP. Upon the City’s issuance of a CDP and approval of Architectural Review for the Project, the Parties, including successors in interest, shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect after termination.
Section 8. Miscellaneous Provisions

Dear Councilmember Penrose
I am sending you this email to let you know about a serious matter that you are to vote on. I've lived here 7 years, love the city and made many friends. Unfortunately, the City has largely ignored how the Pullman Ditch threatens our private property and public safety Subject: Formal Objection to Approval of Structure at 2800 Champs Elysee Blvd Due to Unresolved Pullman Ditch Drainage Issues To: City of Half Moon Bay City Council
This letter serves as a formal objection from the undersigned property owners residing along Pullman Ditch to the proposed approval of the structure at 2800 Champs Elysee Blvd. We maintain that approval should be withheld until the long-standing issues of flooding and inadequate drainage related to Pullman Ditch are definitively resolved.
111
Basis for Objection:
1. Historical Flooding and Property Damage: Pullman Ditch has a documented history of overflowing its banks, causing substantial erosion, property damage, and posing a threat to resident safety. A significant portion of floodwater historically flows onto the Vidovich property, acting as a natural spillway. Loss of this spillway will exacerbate flooding and property damage to existing properties.
2. Prior Decisions and Findings: The Planning Commission previously voted against approving the structure, citing concerns about the impact on drainage and existing homeowners. The City Council subsequently supported this decision. There has been no substantive change in the drainage situation since these decisions.
3. Persistent Drainage Issues and City Neglect: For over two decades, properties adjacent to Pullman Ditch have suffered from recurrent flooding and property damage due to insufficient drainage.
This is documented in the Half Moon Bay Review and City records.
While permitting construction in the area, the City has largely neglected drainage problems. Furthermore, the City has recently disclaimed responsibility for Pullman Ditch maintenance, citing private ownership, while simultaneously impeding or rendering costprohibitive homeowners' efforts to implement necessary protective measures. This has resulted in a tripling of the ditch's size in the last three years.
4. Water Runoff from Rocket Farms: The City has failed to control water runoff from Rocket Farms. This runoff has been deliberately or negligently directed onto our properties, causing substantial damage, erosion, flooding, and landscaping degradation, resulting in significant repair costs and property value loss. Rocket Farms’ practice of allowing nursery runoff to flow from impermeable surfaces, under Highway 1, and into Pullman Ditch is the cause of these damages.
Our properties have been significantly devalued by the threat of future floods. A professional appraisal recently concluded that the value of the real property has been diminished between $400,000 and $500,000 due to the potential for future flooding. While an upper landowner does have a natural right to discharge surface waters, this right is not unfettered. Directing or allowing increased or concentrated water flow onto a neighboring property in a manner that causes harm is legally actionable. This is a well established rule concerning water rights in California. See Keys v. Romley (1966) 64 Cal.2d 396 (courts have made clear that liability can be found where property alterations lead to damaging runoff.)
5. Continued Risk and Lack of Mitigation: Given the unchanged circumstances since the previous denial six months ago, as well as continued ditch enlargement, we believe that the decision to protect existing property values and resident safety should remain in effect until the Pullman Ditch issue is definitively resolved.
6. FILE NO. PDP-17-055. Regarding “The coastal development permit and architectural review for a new residence at 2800 champs elysee 112
blvd”, we would recommend that it be reviewed by senior staff and your lawyers, since it does not agree with previous city documents or expert opinions. The current head of city planning exhibits little concern for property owners or public safety. Note that the city hydrology report was performed in the summer and does not represent the properties of the 2800 CEB area in the winter which was when the Rossi report was done.
Demand and Notice of Legal Action:
Therefore, we strongly urge the City Council to uphold its previous decision and deny approval of the Vidovich project at the June 3rd meeting. Should the City Council approve the project, we will pursue all available legal avenues to seek damages and protect our properties. Legal action could be avoided if the City would take responsibility for managing the water runoff affecting citizens' properties and assist homeowners in managing the Pullman Ditch to safeguard their properties.

Subject: Comments for 6/3 Public Hearing-Deny Approval of 2800 Champs Elysee Until Pullman ditch is fixed Date: Monday, June 2, 2025 3:31:07 PM
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important [CAUTION]: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Half Moon Bay City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Senior Planner, We are 26+ year residents of Miramar and have witnessed first-hand the extreme flooding, damage and ongoing mental anguish caused by the Rocket Farms discharge to the Pullman ditch. Simply, the ditch needs to be fixed! Until it is, we are asking the City Council to deny for the 3rd time the Vidovich building on 2800 Champs Elysee, which will exacerbate the flooding issue causing all the flood water to hit and damage the existing homes in our neighborhood.
We understand that the City Council is hearing this again because of the threat of a lawsuit from Vidovich. What about the taxpaying residents who have lived in this neighborhood for decades? Why isn't the city protecting and standing up for them? Why are the interests of a wealthy developer coming before those of long-term Half Moon Bay residents? Do the right thing and fix the Rocket Farms/Pullman Ditch issue -- make it right -- before approving the Vidovich development and causing more damage to property, our neighborhood... and public trust.
Sincerely,
Laura and Chris Kammeyer

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: June 3, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Rossi, Administrative Services Director
Ernest Azevedo, Human Resources Analyst
TITLE: COMPLIANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 2561/GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 3502.3
REGARDING VACANCIES, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a presentation and conduct a public hearing at which the City will report on workforce vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this update.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Inclusive Governance Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND
This report is in response to California State Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 that was approved on September 22, 2024, and added §3502.3 to the Government Code (Attachment). This law requires public agencies to present the status of their vacancies in a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year. The presentation must be made before the adoption of a final budget for the fiscal year. Additional obligations may apply if the vacancy rate in a bargaining unit exceeds 20%.
DISCUSSION
This report is provided in accordance with Government Code §3502.3. As stated previously, if job vacancies within a single bargaining unit reach or exceed 20% of the authorized full-time positions, the City must, at the request of recognized employee organizations, present certain information at a public hearing, including: (1) the total number of vacancies within the bargaining unit; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average number of days to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code §3502.3(c).)
127
Vacancy Rate
At present, the City’s overall vacancy rate is approximately 18%, with most vacancies occurring in the Represented Management unit and the Non-Represented (Executive) Management group, which is not a formal bargaining unit. Specifically, the Executive Management group has three vacancies, and with only seven budgeted current full-time equivalents (FTEs), this represents a 43% vacancy rate. The current vacant posi�ons in the Execu�ve Management group are the Assistant City Manager, Assistant to the City Manager, and Communica�ons Director/City Clerk. As the Council may recall, recruitment for several of these vacant positions was intentionally deferred until the budget is finalized and the Council’s priorities, especially with the addition of two new members, are established. It is important to recognize that vacancy rates can be dispropor�onately high due to the small number of FTEs in each bargaining and employee group, meaning that even a single vacancy can have an outsized effect on the vacancy rate.
For the purposes of this public hearing and the requirements of AB2561, we will report on calendar year 2024. The City’s annual average vacancy rate for regular, full-time equivalent positions was 6.83%, well below the 20% reportable rate.

Recruitment and Retention
The City of Half Moon Bay employs a competitive, merit-based recruitment process that balances thoroughness with efficiency. This process involves strategic job postings across multiple channels, including CalOpps, the City's website, GovernmentJobs.com, LinkedIn, and free professional job boards such as those offered by the Municipal Management Association of Northern California. For more targeted or hard-to-fill positions, Human Resources collaborates with department hiring managers to allocate funding for postings on specialized or additional job websites.
The recruitment process involves several key steps:
• A two-tier application screening process to verify minimum qualifications and identify top candidates.
• Structured panel interviews with subject matter experts, using standardized evaluation criteria.
• Final interviews with hiring managers to assess departmental fit and compatibility with the City’s work culture.
• Comprehensive background and reference checks before extending offers. • A 6 to 12-month probationary period for new hires.
Employees transition from at-will to regular status after completing probation and then receive appropriate due process protections.
The City recognizes that competitive compensation is a crucial tool for attracting and retaining high-quality employees. Through a Compensation Philosophy adopted via a transparent public process in 2019, the City Manager and staff are provided with guidelines to oversee the City’s employee compensation plan. The guiding principles include:
• Public Accountability
• Affordability
• Flexibility
• Legality
• Competitiveness
• Internal Relationships
• Ability to Pay
• Compensation Studies
In addition, when operationally feasible, the City offers flexible work arrangements, such as remote work and/or alternative schedules (4/10 and 9/80), to enhance recruitment and retention efforts.
Despite these measures, the City continues to face challenges in filling positions, largely due to the high cost of living, limited housing availability, and lengthy commutes in San Mateo County.
Both public and private employers share these challenges throughout the region and are not unique to Half Moon Bay. However, staff feels strongly that remaining competitive is imperative 129
in terms of compensation, working conditions, and workplace culture. The Administrative Services Department continues to explore ways to enhance and streamline the hiring process and to support the City’s talented workforce.

Assembly Bill No. 2561
CHAPTER 409
An act to add Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, relating to public employment.
[Approved by Governor September 22, 2024. Filed with
Secretary of State September 22, 2024.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2561, McKinnor. Local public employees: vacant positions.
Existing law, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (act), authorizes local public employees, as defined, to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on matters of labor relations. The act requires the governing body of a public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations and to consider fully presentations that are made by the employee organization on behalf of its members before arriving at a determination of policy or course of action.
This bill would, as specified, require a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, and would entitle the recognized employee organization to present at the hearing. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the bill would require the public agency, upon request of the recognized employee organization, to include specified information during the public hearing. By imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would also include related legislative findings.
The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act, but would recognize that a local agency or school district may pursue any available remedies to seek reimbursement for these costs.
92 13173
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Job vacancies in local government are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector affecting occupations across wage levels and educational requirements.
(b) High job vacancies impact public service delivery and the workers who are forced to handle heavier workloads, with understaffing leading to burnout and increased turnover that further exacerbate staffing challenges. (c) There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates do not undermine public employee labor relations.
SEC. 2. Section 3502.3 is added to the Government Code, to read:
3502.3. (a) (1) A public agency shall present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the governing board at least once per fiscal year.
(2) If the governing board will be adopting an annual or multiyear budget during the fiscal year, the presentation shall be made prior to the adoption of the final budget.
(3) During the hearing, the public agency shall identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.
(b) The recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.
(c) If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all of the following information during the public hearing:
(1) The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit. (2) The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.
(3) The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
(4) Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions. (d) This section shall not prevent the governing board from holding additional public hearings about vacancies.
(e) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
(f) For purposes of this section, “recognized employee organization” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 3501.
SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 2 of this act, which adds Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, furthers, within the 92 Ch. 409 — 2 —
13274
meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
It is in the public interest, and it furthers the purposes of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section (3) of Article I of the California Constitution, to ensure that information concerning public agency employment is available to the public.
SEC. 4. No reimbursement shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act. It is recognized, however, that a local agency or school district may pursue any remedies to obtain reimbursement available to it under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) and any other law.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: June 3, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Rossi, Administrative Services Director
Kenneth Stiles, Finance Manager
TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF THE FY 2025-26 MASTER FEE SCHEDULE ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing, receive public comment, and adopt a resolution approving the Master Fee Schedule for FY 2025-26, as presented.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the updated Master Fee Schedule is expected to increase annual General Fund revenue by approximately $575,638, with an additional $76,000 from inflationary adjustments.
The actual fiscal impact will vary depending on service demand throughout the year.
Fees collected for development services are deposited into the City’s General Fund unless otherwise specified. Development Impact Fees (DIF) are not adjusted as part of this update and will be addressed in a future report following completion of the DIF Nexus Study.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Fiscal Sustainability Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On May 20, 2025, the City Council held a public workshop to review the draft Comprehensive User Fee Study, prepared by NBS Government Finance Group. The study presented updated cost-of-service estimates for user and regulatory fees across Planning, Building, Public Works, Law Enforcement, and Administrative Services.
This fee study is the second phase of a three-part engagement initiated in FY 2022‑23. It follows the completion of the Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) and precedes an upcoming Development Impact Fee Nexus Study.
134
The proposed fees reflect a comprehensive analysis of both direct and indirect service costs, updated for inflation through FY 2025‑26 using a CPI-W adjustment.
DISCUSSION:
Adoption of the FY 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule represents an incremental step toward financial sustainability, increasing the City's overall cost recovery from approximately 51% to 89%. This reduces dependence on General Fund subsidies for services that primarily benefit individual users, while maintaining support for programs that serve a broader public purpose.
The updated fee schedule reflects the City’s commitment to a fair and consistent cost-recovery framework, and includes the following core elements:
• Full Cost Recovery for Private Services - The majority of fees are set at full cost recovery for services that provide direct, individual benefits—such as development permits, entitlement reviews, and other project-specific processing. • Annual CPI Adjustments - To keep fees current between major updates, the City will continue applying annual adjustments based on the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose CPIW index. This policy helps fees remain aligned with inflation while avoiding large periodic increases.
• Development Impact Fees (DIFs) - DIFs were not adjusted in this update. Staff recommends maintaining existing rates while the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study is underway. Revised DIFs will be brought forward separately once the study is complete.
Staff provided public notice of this hearing and presented earlier drafts of the schedule to both the Finance Committee and City Council as part of the public review process. Council expressed general support for the cost recovery approach outlined in the fee study during the May 20 workshop.
Additionally, staff presented the proposed recreation-related fees to the Recreation Commission on May 28. The Commission expressed concern that increases to special event and film permit fees might unintentionally discourage individuals and groups from pursuing the required permits. They recommended phasing in increases for film permits and other smallerscale events and suggested that the City track the number of issued permits over time to monitor any impact on compliance or participation. The Commission expressed support of fee increases for major special event permits, and staff support costs.
Due to their market-driven nature and overall complexity, recreation facility rental fees were not updated at this time. There is an opportunity to evaluate these fees further and return to the Council for a separate discussion.
The Master Fee Schedule includes minor technical adjustments and new renter’s protection fees tied to recent Council discussions. No new program-based fees are proposed for FY 2025- 135
26 beyond those previously discussed. Consistent with City practice and Government Code requirements, all fees will take effect on August 4, 2025.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Master Fee Schedule reflects a comprehensive effort to align City fees with the actual costs of services, supports equitable cost recovery, and maintains transparency for residents and applicants. It incorporates community feedback, current economic conditions, and Council guidance. Adoption of the updated schedule will help ensure that City services remain financially sustainable, administered, and responsive to operational realities. Staff recommend adoption of the FY 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule as presented, with any final adjustments based on the public hearing and Council direction.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: June 3, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Rossi, Administrative Services Director
Kenneth Stiles, Finance Manager
TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 RECOMMENDED BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a presentation on the FY 2025-26 Recommended Budget, and after accepting public comments and providing additional changesto staff, direct staff to return with the final proposed budget for adoption on June 17, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this staff report. Following the hearing, any changes directed by the Council will be incorporated into the FY 2025-26 Recommended Budget which will be presented to the Council for adoption on June 17, 2025.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s recommended budget is the culmination of a thorough, collaborative, and transparent process involving the City Council, City staff, and the community. The annual budget cycle begins each year with the creation of a budget schedule and is completed through a formal public hearing followed by approval of the recommended budget by the City Council in June.
The budget process includes public meetings intended to gather feedback, help inform priorities and provide opportunities for the community to participate in the development of the City’s annual budget. On May 14, 2025, the City Council Finance Subcommittee met to review the proposed FY 2025-26 operating and capital budget and recommended presenting the budget to the full Council.
New Budget Format
The City is now using ClearGov—a web-based, interactive online budget tool—for the first time 167
as part of our new budgeting process. The PDF draft currently on display reflects some of the early challenges in transitioning to this system. Due to using a PDF versus the online version, the formatting on some pages may be inconsistent, several budget narratives pages are missing, and there were issues with data transfer that have impacted the overall presentation. We recognize that this version is rough and want to assure the Council and the public that this is not representative of the final product. However, once the new tool is fully up and running, accessing the budget will be much easier and more user-friendly for both staff and the public. Please know that we are actively working to refine and clean up the budget, and a significantly improved version will be shared in the next round via online access.
DISCUSSION:
FY 2024-25 ENDING ESTIMATES
As seen in the 3rd Quarter Financial Report, revenues are trending higher than anticipated, and vacancy-related salary savings are expected to further improve the City’s financial position. As a result, staff estimates that the City will end the year with a greater-than-expected unassigned fund balance.
The table below highlights the fund balance expected on June 30, 2025:
With $1.6 million estimated in unassigned fund balance, there is an option to use these funds in the following year to mitigate the ongoing structural budget deficit, as discussed further in this report.
FY 2025-26 PROPOSED BUDGET – GENERAL FUND
Major Revenue Assumptions
Revenue estimates are based on the best data available at the time of budget development, with the understanding that economic conditions remain dynamic. The City takes a conservative approach, especially with its three largest General Fund revenues—TOT, Property Tax, and Sales Revised

Tax— which together comprise approximately 73% of General Fund revenue.
Transient Occupancy Tax - Following several years of revenue decline, TOT projections are based on using the most applicable prior-year data. Due to timing constraints in budget development, actuals from July through February of fiscal year 2024-25 were used, while estimates for March through June relied on corresponding months from 2024.
Using this approach, staff projects TOT revenue at $8.6 million for FY 2025-26—a modest increase of $356 thousand, or 4%. This growth reflects the stronger than expected performance in the early part of the year. This estimate remains conservative due to the current volatility in the economy, including domestic and foreign travel and corporate events and meetings.
Property Taxes - The majority of base property tax revenue is estimated using assessment data from San Mateo County. Other components—such as vehicle license fees (VLF) and property transfer taxes—are based on a combination of actuals and year-end projections for FY 2024-25.
Property tax revenue is projected at $3.7 million for FY 2025-26. This represents a decrease of $215 thousand, or 5%, from the prior year. The overall decrease is primarily driven by an anticipated shortfall in VLF revenue. This estimate is also conservative as VLF often is distributed later in the fiscal year, after negotiations between the State and local government agencies.
Given the State’s own budget challenges, it remains a possibility that the City’s VLF revenues will be smaller than estimated and therefore they are not included in the recommended Budget.
Sales and Use Tax - Sales and Use Tax estimates are developed using historical data, economic trends, and input from the City’s sales tax consultant. For Measure R—the new voter-approved half-cent sales tax with no remittance history—staff established a preliminary revenue range of $1.5 million to $2.2 million. To refine this estimate, a comparative analysis of similar measures in other San Mateo County cities was conducted. Average revenues from those cities were applied to Half Moon Bay’s existing sales tax base to inform the final projection.
Based on this methodology, the City budgeted $1.8 million for Measure R revenue and $3.1 million in ongoing Sales Tax revenue, for a combined total of $4.9 million in FY 2025-26. These estimates remain moderately conservative and may be adjusted at mid-year based on actual revenues collected since April 2025.
General Fund Revenues
The proposed budget includes General Fund revenues totaling $23.8 million, $2.9 million (14%) higher than the prior-year revised budget of $20.8 million. This increase is primarily due to increases in sales taxes, one-time revenues and charges for services.
The following table illustrates the FY 2025-26 revenue budget:
Revised Budget FY 2025-26
Draft Budget % Chg $ Chg
Transient Occupancy Tax 8,343,730 8,699,852 4% 356,122

20,897,074 23,848,488 14% 2,951,414
All Other Revenues This category includes revenues such as business license, golf facilities fees, parking fees, and grant funding. This category is increasing primarily due to increases in charges for services and one-time revenues from withdrawing $912 thousand from the Sheriff Savings account.
General Fund Expenditures
The proposed expenditures budget is $25.3 million, a 1% decrease from the prior year. This is primarily due to a temporary decrease in internal service fund contributions. Ongoing expenditure continues to increase steadily.
The table below shows a summary of expenditures by type:

Total 25,716,079 25,369,199 $ (346,881) -1%
• Salaries & Benefits - The budget reflects cost-of-living increases tied to labor agreements and assumes all vacant positions are filled. At the same time, the City is reviewing its staffing model to identify opportunities for organizational realignment. Current vacancies offer a chance to rethink how resources are allocated to better meet service needs. A goal of the realignment would also be to derive savings due to changed classifications and/or reductions in budgeted full-time positions.
• Operations - Operational updates for FY 2025-26 include funding a citywide classification and compensation study (Administrative Services) and shifting several current capital projects and programs into departmental operating budgets (Public Works). Costs for ongoing Public Safety services—such as Sheriff patrol and 911 dispatch—have increased.
In Communications, Currents magazine will be published twice a year instead of quarterly, and the CARES program has been phased out due to the ending of grant funding that previously supported the program (City Manager’s Office). • Transfers - Transfers, which provide funding for internal service functions, pension obligations, and special one-time projects are decreasing by $101 thousand. This reduction is primarily due to a temporary suspension of contributions to the Risk Management Fund, which currently holds significant and growing fund balance. 170
• Capital Transfers - This reduction reflects a change in budget structure, where capital programs have been incorporated directly into department operating budgets.
Balancing Measures and Fund Balances
To present a balanced budget for FY 2025-26, staff have incorporated a strategic adjustment aimed at minimizing use of reserves. These measures reflect careful consideration and are brought forward for Council’s review.
Key actions include:
• Temporarily pausing contributions to the Risk Management Fund, which currently maintains sufficient fund balance to meet anticipated needs. This would save the General Fund $562 thousand. This is temporary and essentially would not benefit the City past 2- 3 fiscal years.
• Applying all remaining unassigned General Fund balance to help close the projected funding gap
These measures are reflected in Option A below. Should the Council prefer to continue contributions to the Risk Management Fund and instead use additional reserves to address the shortfall, Option B outlines that alternative scenario.
It’s important to note that Option A does not create permanent change in the City’s structural deficit—rather, it represents a short-term strategy to minimize the immediate use of reserves and preserves Council’s flexibility in addressing the long-term financial challenges.

Looking Ahead
The FY 2025-26 budget relies on several temporary measures to lessen the immediate impact of the City’s structural deficit. These include the one-time suspension of contributions to the Risk Management Fund and approximately $912,000 in one-time revenues. While these actions help balance the budget in the short term, they do not address the underlying fiscal imbalance.
Without these temporary offsets, the City’s ongoing structural deficit would be approximately $3 million. This challenge is expected to intensify in future years as a major revenue stream—Golf Facilities Fees—is scheduled to expire in late 2026, and operating costs are projected to continue rising. Without sustainable solutions, the deficit will grow, further drawing down City reserves and limiting long-term financial flexibility.
To address these concerns, the following longer-term strategies remain available for Council consideration:
Revisit Revenue Enhancement Options
During the FY 2025-26 budget process, the Finance Committee evaluated a variety of potential revenue-generating measures. While the City ultimately proceeded with a sales tax increase, several other options remain on the table. These include implementing or adjusting taxes such as a vacant home tax, parcel tax, golf tax, business license tax, and property transfer tax—each with distinct policy considerations and community impacts.
Deeper Reductions to Services and Operations
As part of the FY 2024-25 budgets, staff made targeted reductions aimed at controlling costs without significantly affecting core services or programs. However, if new or increased revenue is not secured in the coming years, the City will face more difficult decisions, including service cuts that could affect quality of life and limit offerings to only the most essential municipal functions. An example from the current recommended budget is the termination of the CARES mental health response program. The program has benefited from ongoing grant funding that partially or fully covered the cost of services for the last three years. With the grant support recently ending, and a similar program operating countywide, the City has elected to end the CARES program rather than expend $400 – 500 thousand in general fund or other funds for FY 2025-26. Similar cuts may be necessary to balance the budget if revenues do not increase to previous levels, which will likely have negative impacts on the community.
CONCLUSION:
The City has historically taken a conservative and disciplined approach to budgeting. However, the current fiscal challenges require additional proactive planning and decisive action. Staff is seeking Council’s input and direction—both to navigate the immediate budget shortfall and to guide the long-term financial sustainability of City operations.

The act requires the governing body of a public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations and to consider fully presentations that are made by the employee organization on behalf of its members before arriving at a determination of policy or course of action.
This bill would, as specified, require a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, and would entitle the recognized employee organization to present at the hearing. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the bill would require the public agency, upon request of the recognized employee organization, to include specified information during the public hearing. By imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would also include related legislative findings.
The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act, but would recognize that a local agency or school district may pursue any available remedies to seek reimbursement for these costs.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Job vacancies in local government are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector affecting occupations across wage levels and educational requirements.
(b) High job vacancies impact public service delivery and the workers who are forced to handle heavier workloads, with understaffing leading to burnout and increased turnover that further exacerbate staffing challenges. (c) There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates do not undermine public employee labor relations.
SEC. 2. Section 3502.3 is added to the Government Code, to read:
3502.3. (a) (1) A public agency shall present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the governing board at least once per fiscal year.
(2) If the governing board will be adopting an annual or multiyear budget during the fiscal year, the presentation shall be made prior to the adoption of the final budget.
(3) During the hearing, the public agency shall identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.
(b) The recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.
(c) If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all of the following information during the public hearing:
(1) The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit. (2) The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.
(3) The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
(4) Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions. (d) This section shall not prevent the governing board from holding additional public hearings about vacancies.
(e) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.

meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
It is in the public interest, and it furthers the purposes of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section (3) of Article I of the California Constitution, to ensure that information concerning public agency employment is available to the public.
SEC. 4. No reimbursement shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act. It is recognized, however, that a local agency or school district may pursue any remedies to obtain reimbursement available to it under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) and any other law.
