BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: November 18, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Julissa Acosta, Management Analyst
TITLE: OPPORTUNITY CENTER OF THE COASTSIDE ASSET DISPOSAL ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to dispose of assets acquired to provide services at the Opportunity Center of the Coastside in accordance with the City’s Asset Disposition Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Donations and retained assets will not incur additional costs beyond the minimal staff time for coordination.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability, Healthy Communities and Public Safety and Infrastructure and Environment Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On February 7, 2023, City Council authorized staff to accept a $2,500,000 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant from San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to open and operate an economic advancement center to address economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, which was ultimately called the Opportunity Center of the Coastside (OCC).
The OCC was established as a key initiative of the Coastside Recovery Initiative (CRI) to provide economic development and workforce resources to individuals and business owners seeking to improve their economic wellness. On September 5, 2023, City Council authorized a two-year lease at 637 Main Street for the OCC and approved a sublease agreement with the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau for a portion of the site, and a separate contract to manage the daily operations and facilities at the OCC. Service partners Job Train, Renaissance Entrepreneur Center, and American Energy Society were engaged to deliver quality services for job seekers, small business owners and entrepreneurs, and startups, respectively. 36
Between February 2024 and September 2025, staff procured equipment, furniture, and technology necessary to support OCC operations, using the ARPA funding. In addition, the Chamber contributed its own furnishings, equipment and other materials to help meet the OCC’s operational needs and continue offering chamber and visitor services.
As the OCC concludes its initial operations and program partners transition to new locations in Half Moon Bay (the Chamber is exploring a new location; Renaissance and Job Train are in discussions with Coastside Hope about collocating), service providers have requested to retain specific items to continue providing community and economic development services aligned with the original intent of the ARPA funding. During this transition, the Chamber will retain possession of all items it originally provided.
DISCUSSION:
In preparation of the OCC sunset of operations, City and Chamber staff conducted a comprehensive inventory of all assets acquired with ARPA funds, including office furnishings, technology, and program materials. Items were reviewed for potential community benefit in accordance with the City’s Asset Disposition Policy and federal grant requirements.
The Asset Disposition Policy provides that City property may be disposed of only when it no longer serves as a benefit to the City, is obsolete or defective, or when storage and maintenance costs exceed its value or usefulness. The policy allows three principal disposition methods: retention, sale, and donation, and requires that all transactions maximize public benefit, ensure transparency, and prevent any personal financial gain.
To ensure consistency with City’s policy and ARPA compliance requirements, staff evaluated each item and assigned it to one of the following disposition categories:
1. Retention: Items that remain necessary for ongoing City operations or future economic development initiatives will continue under City ownership. Retained property will remain a City’s asset and continue to be used until the end of its useful life.
2. Donation: Certain assets that retain programmatic value and support community economic goals such as program materials, furniture, computers, or materials directly supporting programs may be donated to qualifying nonprofit or partner organizations.
Such donations are permissible under the policy provided:
• No City employee or contractor receives personal benefit; • The receiving organization continues to use the items for the same or similar public purpose; and
• The donation supports continued community benefit consistent with the original ARPA funding objectives.
To ensure compliance, City and County staff have confirmed that the proposed disposition plan (Attachment 2) aligns with ARPA asset management and reporting requirements. Both agencies 37
concluded that implementing the City’s established Asset Disposition Policy meets compliance standards and ensures continued transparency and accountability.
The City will retain items not requested by service providers. If additional items remain, City staff will present an updated recommendation to Council in early 2026. Remaining items may be offered to core and safety net service providers to ensure continued community use and benefit.

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a resolution (Attachment 1) adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted by City Council on November 4, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the MMRP has no fiscal impact.
STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:
This action supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On November 4, 2025, the City Council adopted the 2023 – 2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The mitigation measure included in the Negative Declaration is as follows:
BIO-1 Nesting Bird Protection:
If construction of residential development envisioned in the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update requires vegetation trimming or tree removal during the nesting bird season (February 1 to August 31), pre-construction surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist not more than one week before construction to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds on the project site.
Even with only one mitigation measure, adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is still required by state law.
44 DISCUSSION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that a reporting or monitoring program be adopted for the conditions of project approval that are necessary to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment (Public Resources Code 21081.6). The MMRP for adoption by City Council is included as Attachment 2.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY DETERMINING THE
NEED FOR LOCAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AND RATIFYING THE COASTSIDE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT’S ORDINANCE NO. 2025-05 WHEREAS, The State of California has adopted the 2025 edition of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also known as the California Building Standards Code (CBSC), containing construction standards applicable to local jurisdictions throughout the State including the City of Half Moon Bay ("City"); and
WHEREAS, on November 4, 2025, the City Council of Half Moon Bay introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 14.04 of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code, adopting by reference the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code; and WHEREAS, notice was published prior to the November 4, 2025, public hearing pursuant to California Government Code Section 36933; and
WHEREAS, the City is adopting the 2025 triennial CBSC code update to become effective on January 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, when reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize local jurisdictions to establish more restrictive building standards than those set forth in the CBSC; and WHEREAS, before making local modifications to the CBSC, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 require the local jurisdiction to make express findings that such changes are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that there is a need to establish building standards that are more restrictive than those adopted by the State of California in the 2025 CBSC to address the problems, concerns and future direction by which the City can establish and maintain an environment which will afford an appropriate level of fire and life safety to all who live and work within its boundary; and
WHEREAS, in making this determination, the City Council finds that modifications to the CBSC are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions as set forth below, and as summarized in the chart attached hereto as Exhibit A:
Climatic: The City is located on a coastal plain and as such is affected greatly by ocean changes. High winds are a factorin design considerations with expectedthree second gusts in excess of 90 miles per hour. Conditions are such as to require additional structural provisionsfor wind loading as well as provisions for electrical utility undergrounding. The 53 City has an average annual rainfall of 27 inches and allstormwaterflowsto the ocean. It is therefore necessary that the City provide special provisions to protect the environment and comply with the regional storm water permit.
The City is situated along the Pacific Coastline and the potential impacts of sea level rise are anticipated to increase the City’s exposure to shoreline hazards. Human activities releasing greenhouse gas into the atmosphere cause increases in rising sea levels are likely to affect the amount of area in the City at risk of coastal flooding, the rate of erosion along the shoreline and bluffs, the area of the City’s tsunami inundation zone, and potential seawater intrusion into riparian systems and groundwater supplies. Loss of shoreline due to rising waters may also threaten the stability of coastal habitats, recreation areas, public access, and infrastructure.
Vehicular traffic through Half Moon Bay is significant and continues to increase as Half Moon Bay is a tourism destination as well as the location of residential projects. The observed increase in plug-in electric vehicle adoption reduces the climate impact of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions.
Topographical: The City has many areas that are in the Tsunami Inundation Area, and it is also bordered by wildland areas. These conditions require the City to take the necessary precautions to protect the public from likely events of floods or wildland urban interface fires. In addition, the area has a highly expansive clay type soil that requires modifications to foundation and drainage design. Some areas of the City have a highwater table and necessitate special drainage considerations to protect facilities from flooding and to provide for storm water runoff to the ocean.
Geological: The City is located in seismic zone D. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, affect the seismicity risks of the City. In the event of a major earthquake, the City would in all likelihood be cut off from the rest of the Peninsula Cities.
It is deemed reasonable that provisions be made to assure that the most conservative measures are designed into structures to protect the facilities, both residential and commercial, to provide time for emergency personnel and equipment to reach the coast and provide assistance.
AND WHEREAS, Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code as modified by AB 130 allow local jurisdictions to make changes to state building standards affecting residential units so long as those changes meet one or more conditions; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the changes it is making to the state building standards affecting residential units meet one or more AB 130 condition (“AB 130 conditions”) as set forth below, and as summarized in the chart attached hereto as Exhibit A:
54 AB 130 CONDITION 1: The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
AB 130 CONDITION 2: The California Building Standards Commission deems those changes or modifications necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
AB 130 CONDITION 3: The changes or modifications relate to home hardening.
AB 130 CONDITION 4: The building standards relate to home hardening and are proposed for adoption by a fire protection district pursuant to Section 13869.7.
AB 130 CONDITION 5: The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.
AB 130 CONDITION 6: The changes or modifications are related to administrative practices, are proposed for adoption during the intervening period pursuant to Section 18942, and exclusively result in any of the following:
(A) Reductions in time for a local agency to issue a post-entitlement permit. (B) Alterations to a local agency’s post-entitlement fee schedule. (C) Modernization of, or adoption of, new permitting platforms and software utilized by the local agency.
(D) Reductions in cost of internal operation for a local agency. (E) Establishment, alteration, or removal of local programs related to enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.
AND WHEREAS, the City lies within the geographical boundaries of the Coastside Fire Protection District; and
WHEREAS, the Coastside Fire Protection District has responsibility for fire protection within said geographical boundaries; and
WHEREAS, on October 22, 2025, the Coastside Fire Protection District adopted Ordinance No. 2025-05, adopting the 2025 California Fire Code with certain amendments to reflect local conditions; and
55 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13869.7(c) of the California Health & Safety Code, such ordinances containing such modifications are not effective within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City until ratified by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the changes to the provisions in the California Fire Code set forth in the Coastside Fire Protection District’s Ordinance No.2025-05, attached hereto as Exhibit B, are reasonably necessary because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, consistent with findings made by the Coastside Fire Protection District on October 22, 2025 when the District adopted local modifications to the 2025 CBSC:
Climatic: The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a coastal region. The District is subject to extensive periods of dense coastal fog as well as an average rainfall of twenty-five (25) inches per year. These adverse weather conditions create severe hazardous road conditions as well as mud and rockslides along the main access roads within as well as into the District from the surrounding area. Due to the periods of heavy fog and rainfall, along with repeated flooding conditions and road closures, the ability of the Fire Protection District to provide immediate emergency response is often delayed.
These same adverse climatic conditions often result in a large number of vehicular accidents that place extreme restraints on the availability of emergency response to perform emergency rescue, first aid, hazardous materials control and firefighting. The climatic conditions often result in a substantial or total lack of ability of the Fire Protection District to respond immediately to the other types of emergency situations that occur.
Examples of these emergency conditions may be a structure fire, brush fire, hazardous material incident or medical call. The mutual aid agreements established with adjoining fire protection agencies, might not be possible due to adverse climatic conditions having restricted or totally blocked access into the District.
Geological: The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a high activity seismic Zone 4. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, are within immediate boundaries of the District. The seismic geological conditions present a very severe potential for multiple fires, major breakage of water mains, major breakage of natural gas mains, multiple electrical power failures, multiple collapsed structures, large number of callsfor emergency medical aid, all of which may occursimultaneously during a seismic event. Most ofthe structures within the hilly terrain have water pumping systems used for fire suppression water delivery as well as water storage tanks. Most of the pumping systems are dependent on electrical power for operation. Such electrical power may not be available during a seismic event. Water storage in the Point Montara zone of the District is deficient in volume. Water storage tanks used for the storage of required fire suppression water may also collapse in such an event forcing the additional needs to transport water via additional pieces of fire apparatus which will place a significant restraint on the ability of the District to provide the required emergency services.
Topographical: The District is composed of areas that are considered by the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping system to be of High and Very High fire hazard. Much of 56 the District is hilly terrain covered with highly combustible natural vegetation including the presence of many groves of eucalyptustrees. The structures within the areas of hilly terrain have very limited fire access due to narrow roadways with steep grades and poor road surface conditions such as gravel. The presence of many existing structures within the high and very high fire hazard and wildland areas provides for a severe potential of a structure fire spreading into a wildland fire condition.
AND WHEREAS, once adopted the City is required to file its local amendments and findings with the California Building Standards Commission in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay is adopting the 2025 CBSC to take effect on January 1, 2026, with local amendments; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has directed that a copy of this Resolution and the Ordinance amending Chapter 14.04 of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code, adopting by reference the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code be filed with the California Building Standards Commission in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby ratify the Coastside Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2025-05 to be effective in the City of Half Moon Bay; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby adopt Coastside Fire Protection Districts Findings of Fact supporting the modifications to the Fire Code in Coastside Fire Protection District Ordinance 2025-05 as reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution, including Coastside Fire Protection District Ordinance 2025-05 and the Coastside Fire Protection District Findings of Fact, shall be filed with the California Building Standards Commission in accordance with Health & Safety Code Section 17958.7(a) and with the California Department of Housing and Community Development in accordance with Health & Safety Code Section 13869.7(c); and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment. In the event that this Resolution is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility that the action approved may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the proposed action would have no or only a de minimis effect on the environment. The Resolution is also exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 57 section 15308, because it is a regulatory action for the protection of the environment. The foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment. ***************************************************************** I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly passed and adopted on the 18th day of November 2025, by the City Council of Half Moon Bay by the following vote:

Some areas of the City have a high-water table and necessitate special drainage considerations to protect facilities from flooding and to provide for storm water runoff to the ocean.
iii. Geological: The City is located in seismic zone D. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, affect the seismicity risks of the City. In the event of a major earthquake, the City would in all likelihood be cut off from the rest of the Peninsula 68 Cities. It is deemed reasonable that provisions be made to assure that the most conservative measures are designed into structuresto protectthe facilities, both residential and commercial, to provide time for emergency personnel and equipment to reach the coast and provide assistance.
Coastside Fire Protection District Local Conditions:
iv. Climatic: The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a coastal region. The District is subject to extensive periods of dense coastal fog as well as an average rainfall of twenty-five (25) inches per year. These adverse weather conditions create severe hazardous road conditions as well as mud and rockslides along the main access roads within as well as into the District from the surrounding area. Due to the periods of heavy fog and rainfall, along with repeated flooding conditions and road closures, the ability of the Fire Protection District to provide immediate emergency response is often delayed. These same adverse climatic conditions often result in a large number of vehicular accidents that place extreme restraints on the availability of emergency response to perform emergency rescue, first aid, hazardous materials control and firefighting. The climatic conditions often result in a substantial or total lack of ability of the Fire Protection District to respond immediately to the other types of emergency situations that occur. Examples of these emergency conditions may be a structure fire, brush fire, hazardous material incident or medical call. The mutual aid agreements established with adjoining fire protection agencies, might not be possible due to adverse climatic conditions having restricted or totally blocked access into the District. v. Geological: The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a high activity seismic Zone 4. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, are within immediate boundaries of the District. The seismic geological conditions present a very severe potential for multiple fires, major breakage of water mains, major breakage of natural gas mains, multiple electrical power failures, multiple collapsed structures, large number of callsfor emergency medical aid, all of which may occursimultaneously during a seismic event. Most of the structures within the hilly terrain have water pumping systems used for fire suppression water delivery as well as water storage tanks. Most of the pumping systems are dependent on electrical power for operation. Such electrical power may not be available during a seismic event. Water storage in the Point Montara zone of the District is deficient in volume. Water storage tanks used for the storage of required fire suppression water may also collapse in such an event forcing the additional needs to transport water via additional pieces of fire apparatus which will place a significant restraint on the ability of the District to provide the required emergency services.
vi. Topographical: The District is composed of areas that are considered by the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping system to be of High and Very High fire hazard. Much of the District is hilly terrain covered with highly combustible natural vegetation including the presence of many groves of eucalyptus trees. The structures within the areas of hilly terrain have very limited fire access due to narrow roadways with steep grades and poor road surface conditions such as gravel. The presence of many existing structures within 69 the high and very high fire hazard and wildland areas provides for a severe potential of a structure fire spreading into a wildland fire condition.
AB 130 Condition:
AB 130 CONDITION 1: The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
AB 130 CONDITION 2: The California Building Standards Commission deems those changes or modifications necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
AB 130 CONDITION 3: The changes or modifications relate to home hardening.
AB 130 CONDITION 4: The building standards relate to home hardening and are proposed for adoption by a fire protection district pursuant to Section 13869.7.
AB 130 CONDITION 5: The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.
AB 130 CONDITION 6: The changes or modifications are related to administrative practices, are proposed for adoption during the intervening period pursuant to Section 18942, and exclusively result in any of the following:
(A) Reductions in time for a local agency to issue a post-entitlement permit. (B) Alterations to a local agency’s post-entitlement fee schedule. (C) Modernization of, or adoption of, new permitting platforms and software utilized by the local agency. (D) Reductions in cost of internal operation for a local agency. (E) Establishment, alteration, or removal of local programs related to enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.

ESTABLISHING A BUREAU OF FIRE PREVENTION AND PROVIDING OFFICERS
THEREFOR
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of Directors introduce the proposed ordinance updating the District’s ordinance adopting the 2025 California Fire Code and local amendments thereto.
Background and Discussion
Every 3 years, the California Building Standards Commission updates and adopts the newest California Building Standards Code. This code automatically becomes effective on January 1 following the update. As part of that State level adoption, State law automatically rescinds local amendments, so local jurisdictions need to adopt new modifications to their codes.
The Coastside Fire Board of Directors adopted the 2022 California Fire Codes with local amendments by passing Ordinance 2023-01 on January 25, 2023. The local amendments incorporated into that ordinance carried forward the existing amendments that the District had incorporated into its adoption of the previous edition of the California Fire Codes (2019 edition). In 2024, the District made additional local amendments to the 2022 Fire Code under Ordinance 2024-02 to make the District’s treatment of automatic sprinklers consistent with the local amendments adopted by the County and enforced in surrounding unincorporated areas.
The proposed Ordinance attached hereto as Attachment 1 would rescind the existing Ordinance adopting the 2022 Fire Code and adopt the 2025 Edition of the Fire Code with local amendments that carry forward those local amendments that were 72 previously adopted by the District. For ease of review, Attachment 2 shows in redline edits how the proposed ordinance differs from the existing ordinance (2024-02).
Fiscal Impact
None.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Board of Directors introduce the proposed Ordinance updating the District’s ordinance adopting the California Fire Code and local amendments thereto. Staff requests that the Board introduce and hold a hearing on the proposed Ordinance and by vote schedule it for second reading and adoption at the Board’s next regular meeting on January 28, 2026. If adopted at that meeting, the Ordinance would take effect 30 days thereafter.

COASTSIDE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
COUNTY OF SAN MATEO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE 2025
EDITION AND PRESCRIBING REGULATIONS GOVERNING CONDITIONS HAZARDOUS
TO LIFE, PROPERTY AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM FIRE, PANIC, EXPLOSION,
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS USES AND ESTABLISHING A BUREAU OF
FIRE PREVENTION AND PROVIDING OFFICERS THEREFOR
The Board of Directors of the Coastside Fire Protection District does hereby ordain as follows:
Section I. Findings of Fact.
A. General. After due consideration, the Board of Directors of the Coastside Fire Protection District, hereby finds that the unique local climate, geological and topographical conditions existing within the boundaries of the District make it reasonably necessary for the District to impose more stringent requirements than set forth in the California Fire Code and pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections 13869.7 and 17958.7, the District desires to make express findings to that effect and to adopt the modifications and changes contained in this adoptive Ordinance of the 2025 California Fire Code. Such changes are deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide adequate and effective protection of life, property, and the environment.
The District is within the air path approach to the San Francisco and San Jose International airports. The commercial air traffic as well as the presence of a large amount of private small aircraft presents a high potential for rescue and firefighting demands on the District.
The District has numerous festival events that occur yearly as well as a significant amount of tourism due to the presence of several miles of Pacific coastline and beaches. Such events and tourism can present significant increases of vehicular traffic and population within the District. The District covers areas of the “Devils Slide” portion of Hwy #1, the Pillar Point Harbor and many miles of isolated coastline. These increased conditions result in a high demand for providing emergency services.
The Coastside Fire Protection District provides the fire protection services for the City of Half Moon Bay and the Communities of Montara, Moss Beach, Princeton, El Granada and Miramar in addition to the surrounding unincorporated areas with a total District size of 50 square miles. The District has established three fire stations to provide the emergency services. Fire Station 40 is located within the downtown area of the City of Half Moon Bay and Fire Station 41 is located within the unincorporated area of El Granada. El Granada is located four miles to the north of the City of Half Moon Bay. Fire Station 44 is located within 75 the Moss Beach Area of the District. The District has thirty-eight paid fire personnel and twenty volunteer fire fighter positions, and two administrative support positions.
B. Climatic. The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a coastal region. The District is subject to extensive periods of dense coastal fog as well as an average rainfall of twenty-five (25) inches per year. These adverse weather conditions create severe hazardous road conditions as well as mud and rockslides along the main access roads within as well as into the District from the surrounding area. Due to the periods of heavy fog and rainfall, along with repeated flooding conditions and road closures, the ability of the Fire Protection District to provide immediate emergency response is often delayed. These same adverse climatic conditions often result in a large number of vehicular accidents that place extreme restraints on the availability of emergency response to perform emergency rescue, first aid, hazardous materials control and firefighting. The climatic conditions often result in a substantial or total lack of ability of the Fire Protection District to respond immediately to the other types of emergency situations that occur. Examples of these emergency conditions may be a structure fire, brush fire, hazardous material incident or medical call. The mutual aid agreements established with adjoining fire protection agencies might not be possible due to adverse climatic conditions having restricted or totally blocked access into the District.
C. Geological. The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a high activity seismic Zone 4. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, are within immediate boundaries of the District. The seismic geological conditions present a very severe potential for multiple fires, major breakage of water mains, major breakage of natural gas mains, multiple electrical power failures, multiple collapsed structures, and large number of calls for emergency medical aid, all of which may occur simultaneously during a seismic event. Most of the structures within the hilly terrain have water pumping systems used for fire suppression water delivery as well as water storage tanks. Most of the pumping systems are dependent on electrical power for operation. Such electrical power may not be available during a seismic event. Water storage in the Point Montara zone of the District is deficient in volume. Water storage tanks used for the storage of required fire suppression water may also collapse in such an event forcing the additional needs to transport water via additional pieces of fire apparatus which will place a significant restraint on the ability of the District to provide the required emergency services.
D. Topographical. The District is composed of areas that are considered by the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping system to be of High and Very High fire hazard. Much of the District is hilly terrain covered with highly combustible natural vegetation including the presence of many groves of eucalyptus trees. The structures within the areas of hilly terrain have very limited fire access due to narrow roadways with steep grades and poor road surface conditions such as gravel. The presence of many existing structures within the high and very high fire hazard and wildland areas provides for a severe potential of a structure fire spreading into a wildland fire condition.
Section II. Adoption of California Fire Code.
Ordinance Number 2024-02 related to providing a Fire Prevention Code for the Coastside Fire Protection District is hereby repealed. Furthermore, there is hereby adopted by the Board of Directors of the Coastside Fire Protection District, for the purpose of prescribing regulations 76 governing conditions hazardous to life, property and the environment from fire, or explosion, hazardous materials, and hazardous uses, that certain code known as the 2025 California Fire Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24 Part 9. The 2025 California Fire Code utilizes the 2024 International Fire Code, published by International Code Council, as the base document. State Fire Marshal amendments that are considered Building Standards are included to form the California Fire Code.

91 ORDINANCE NO. 2024-02 2025-05
COASTSIDE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
COUNTY OF SAN MATEO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE 2025
EDITION AND PRESCRIBING REGULATIONS GOVERNING CONDITIONS HAZARDOUS
TO LIFE, PROPERTY AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM FIRE, PANIC, EXPLOSION,
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS USES AND ESTABLISHING A BUREAU OF
FIRE PREVENTION AND PROVIDING OFFICERS THEREFOR
The Board of Directors of the Coastside Fire Protection District does hereby ordain as follows:
Section I. Findings of Fact.
A. General. After due consideration, the Board of Directors of the Coastside Fire Protection District, hereby finds that the unique local climate, geological and topographical conditions existing within the boundaries of the District make it reasonably necessary for the District to impose more stringent requirements than set forth in the California Fire Code and pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections 13869.7 and 17958.7, the District desires to make express findings to that effect and to adopt the modifications and changes contained in this adoptive Ordinance of the 2022 2025 California Fire Code. Such changes are deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide adequate and effective protection of life, property, and the environment.
The District is within the air path approach to the San Francisco and San Jose International airports. The commercial air traffic as well as the presence of a large amount of private small aircraft presents a high potential for rescue and firefighting demands on the District.
The District has numerous festival events that occur yearly as well as a significant amount of tourism due to the presence of several miles of Pacific coastline and beaches. Such events and tourism can present significant increases of vehicular traffic and population within the District. The District covers areas of the “Devils Slide” portion of Hwy #1, the Pillar Point Harbor and many miles of isolated coastline. These increased conditions result in a high demand for providing emergency services.
The Coastside Fire Protection District provides the fire protection services for the City of Half Moon Bay and the Communities of Montara, Moss Beach, Princeton, El Granada and Miramar in addition to the surrounding unincorporated areas with a total District size of 50 square miles. The District has established three fire stations to provide the emergency services. Fire Station 40 is located within the downtown area of the City of Half Moon Bay and Fire Station 41 is located within the unincorporated area of El Granada. El Granada is located four miles to the north of the City of Half Moon Bay. Fire Station 44 is located within the Moss Beach Area of the District. The District has thirty-five thirty-eight paid fire personnel 92 and twenty volunteer fire fighter positions, along with four management and two administrative support positions.
B. Climatic. The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a coastal region. The District is subject to extensive periods of dense coastal fog as well as an average rainfall of twenty-five (25) inches per year. These adverse weather conditions create severe hazardous road conditions as well as mud and rockslides along the main access roads within as well as into the District from the surrounding area. Due to the periods of heavy fog and rainfall, along with repeated flooding conditions and road closures, the ability of the Fire Protection District to provide immediate emergency response is often delayed. These same adverse climatic conditions often result in a large number of vehicular accidents that place extreme restraints on the availability of emergency response to perform emergency rescue, first aid, hazardous materials control and firefighting. The climatic conditions often result in a substantial or total lack of ability of the Fire Protection District to respond immediately to the other types of emergency situations that occur. Examples of these emergency conditions may be a structure fire, brush fire, hazardous material incident or medical call. The mutual aid agreements established with adjoining fire protection agencies, might not be possible due to adverse climatic conditions having restricted or totally blocked access into the District.
C. Geological. The Coastside Fire Protection District is located within a high activity seismic Zone 4. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, are within immediate boundaries of the District. The seismic geological conditions present a very severe potential for multiple fires, major breakage of water mains, major breakage of natural gas mains, multiple electrical power failures, multiple collapsed structures, large number of calls for emergency medical aid, all of which may occur simultaneously during a seismic event. Most of the structures within the hilly terrain have water pumping systems used for fire suppression water delivery as well as water storage tanks. Most of the pumping systems are dependent on electrical power for operation. Such electrical power may not be available during a seismic event. Water storage in the Point Montara zone of the District is deficient in volume. Water storage tanks used for the storage of required fire suppression water may also collapse in such an event forcing the additional needs to transport water via additional pieces of fire apparatus which will place a significant restraint on the ability of the District to provide the required emergency services.
D. Topographical. The District is composed of areas that are considered by the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping system to be of High and Very High fire hazard. Much of the District is hilly terrain covered with highly combustible natural vegetation including the presence of many groves of eucalyptus trees. The structures within the areas of hilly terrain have very limited fire access due to narrow roadways with steep grades and poor road surface conditions such as gravel. The presence of many existing structures within the high and very high fire hazard and wildland areas provides for a severe potential of a structure fire spreading into a wildland fire condition.
Section II. Adoption of California Fire Code.
Ordinance Number 2023-01 2024-02 related to providing a Fire Prevention Code for the Coastside Fire Protection District is hereby repealed.

The City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay does ordain as follows:
Section 1: Findings. The City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay finds and declares as follows:
(a) Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5, with reference to Section 17958.7, allows for more restrictive local amendments to the current California Building Standards Code (“Building Codes”) that are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
(b) The Half Moon Bay City Council expressly declares that these proposed amendments to the Building Codes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, topographical, and geological conditions pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 18941.5 and 17958.5, and the City Council hereby adopts the findings of reasonable necessity as set forth in the Resolution accompanying this ordinance.
(c) Express findings that these modifications to the Building Codes are reasonably necessary are hereby made and will be filed with the California Building Standards Commission in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 before this ordinance takes effect.
(d) Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7, as modified by AB 130, allow local jurisdictions to make changes to state building standards affecting residential units so long as those changes meet one or more conditions. (e) The Half Moon Bay City Council expressly declares that the City’s modifications to the Building Codes that affect residential units satisfy one or more of the conditions set out in Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7, as modified by AB 130 (the 112
ATTACHMENT 2
“AB 130 conditions”), and the City Council hereby adopts the findings related to the AB 130 conditions as set forth in the Resolution accompanying this ordinance.
Section 2: Municipal Code Amendments.
a. Chapter 14.04, Building Standards, of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code is hereby repealed and replaced with a new Chapter 14.04 entitled “Building Standards,” as shown in Attachment A.
b. Chapter 14.06, Electrification of Buildings, of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code is hereby repealed.
Section 3: Severability. If any words, phrases, provisions or sections of this Chapter are either determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or preempted by state or federal law, then such words, phrases, provisions, or sections shall be severed from this Chapter, and all the remaining words, phrases, provisions, and sections of this Chapter shall remain in full force and effect; provided however, that the severing of such words, phrases, provisions, and sections does not frustrate the purposes of any of the remaining sections of the chapter.
Section 4: California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment. In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility that the action approved may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the proposed action would have no or only a de minimis effect on the environment. The Ordinance is also exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15308, because it is a regulatory action for the protection of the environment. The foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment
Section 5: Effective Date. Pursuant to Section 36937 of the Government Code of the State of California, this ordinance shall take effect and be in force on the thirtieth (30th) day from and after its final passage.
