TITLE: AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GANEY SCIENCE, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $46,014, FOR PREPARATION OF AN INITIAL
STUDY AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (IS/MND) FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT 1049 RAILROAD AVENUE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Ganey Science, for an amount not to exceed $46,104, for the preparation of an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) for proposed development at 1049 Railroad Avenue and the public right of way within the vicinity.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the General Fund for this recommendation. Prior to City Manager execution of the agreement, the project applicant will deposit $40,090 plus up to $6,014 contingency to cover the cost of the consultant contract.
BACKGROUND:
The City is in receipt of an application for extension of the Railroad Avenue roadway and utilities, and construction of a single-family residence and accessory dwelling units at 1049 Railroad Avenue. The application includes a request for a Coastal Development Permit for street extension and utility work within the public right of way. The environmental analysis will include both the work in the public right of way and the residential development on the site.
City staff has determined that an IS/MND pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required to evaluate the potential impacts of the project on the environment. An open solicitation with a Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared and circulated to firms that specialize in preparation of IS/MND’s. The RFP was also posted on the City’s website. Four proposals responding to the RFP were received by well-qualified consulting firms. The consultant with the lowest total cost of the service was selected. 18 DISCUSSION:
Ganey Science (https://www.ganeysci.com/) demonstrated the best understanding of the requested work and represents the best fit for the project at 1049 Railroad Avenue. Ganey Science and its sub-consultants work throughout the Bay Area and California, have extensive northern California coastal experience and experience. They also have familiarity with the regional agencies and their processes. The Ganey Science proposal and team are especially well suited to objectively evaluate primary topics of interest for this particular project and site:
biological resources, aesthetics, and greenhouse gas modeling.
City staff have discussed the project with the project manager at Ganey Science, clarified the scope of work, and finalized the scope of work and budget. The scope of work and fee schedule are provided as Exhibits A and B to the resolution.
It is important to note that while staff believes that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate, the environmental review will be conducted in accordance with CEQA and if, as a result of that analysis it is determined that another level of review is appropriate, such as an Environmental Impact Report, then staff will seek an amendment to the contract.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY AUTHORIZING

WHEREAS, the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) in January of 2026 for the selection of an environmental consultant to prepare an initial study and mitigated negative declaration, for the project at 1049 Railroad Avenue; and WHEREAS, following review of the submittals, the City has received proposals from four consulting firms in response to the revised RFP; and
WHEREAS, the proposed scope of work submitted by Ganey Science, providing environmental consulting services, was determined to be the most responsive to the revised RFP.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay authorizes the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Ganey Science, for an amount not to exceed $46,104, for environmental consulting services to prepare an initial study and mitigated negative declaration based on the Scope of Work in Exhibit A and Fee Schedule in Exhibit B.

3.0 DETAILED WORK PLAN
Ganey Science’s approach is organized into ten tasks that correspond to the City’s scope of requested services. We estimate five to six months from Notice to Proceed, depending on City review timelines
3.1 TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION & BACKGROUND REVIEW
Weeks 1-2. We will kick off with a virtual meeting to align on scope, schedule, and communication, and visit the project site within the first two weeks to observe existing conditions, confirm ambient noise measurement locations, photograph key viewpoints for the visual analysis, and walk the adjacent open space boundary. From there, our team reviews the project application materials, the 9/30/25 architectural plans, the Live Oak bio report, Municipal Code Chapters 14.37, 18.20, 18.36, 18.37, and 18.38, the Local Coastal Program, and relevant General Plan Elements. If we need anything else for the analysis, we will put it in writing. For check-ins, we recommend biweekly calls (ten minimum over the project), with more frequent contact during heavy review periods.
Work Product: Written information request memorandum; site visit summary memorandum with photographs.
3.2 TASK 2: NOTICE OF INTENT
Weeks 2-3. We will prepare an Administrative Draft NOI with a site location map for circulation to public agencies and the public, then revise as needed based on City comments.
Work Product: Administrative Draft and Final NOI (one ADA-compliant electronic copy in Word and PDF).
3.3 TASK 3: TECHNICAL STUDIES
Weeks 2-8. Four of the five technical studies will be prepared in-house. The scope of each is summarized below:
Noise Assessment: Ambient noise measurements at the project site, traffic noise modeling (USDOT TNM), and construction noise modeling (FHWA RCNM). The assessment evaluates consistency with Half Moon Bay General Plan noise standards and CEQA Appendix G thresholds for both construction and operations. The street extension and proximity to existing homes are the key factors.
EXHIBIT A
21 RFP for 1049 Railroad Avenue Residential Project February 2026
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Assessment: Construction and operational emissions modeled in CalEEMod (latest version), evaluated against BAAQMD thresholds of significance. The GHG piece addresses consistency with applicable reduction plans and quantifies project-level emissions.
Cultural Resources Assessment (Phase I): Records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), Sacred Lands File request to NAHC, and an intensive pedestrian survey of the site. Any on-site or adjacent structures will be evaluated against CRHR eligibility criteria. We will include recommendations for construction monitoring and inadvertent discovery protocols, coordinated with whatever AB 52 tribal consultation the City has initiated.
Visual/Aesthetics Assessment (Subconsultant): Given the project’s prominent location on the western edge of the Arleta Park neighborhood adjacent to County open space and coastal bluff habitat, visual/aesthetics is a central issue. We will engage a qualified subconsultant to prepare a Visual Impact Assessment, including photosimulations from key public vantage points showing the proposed two-story residence in context with the surrounding neighborhood and open space. A statement of qualifications will be provided to the City for approval prior to engagement.
3.4 TASK 4: ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT INITIAL STUDY
Weeks 6-10. The Administrative IS covers all CEQA Appendix G topics, supported by the technical studies from Task 3 and in conformance with Municipal Code Chapter 18.38 (Coastal Resource Conservation Standards). It incorporates findings from the peer review of the Live Oak biology report. The sections we expect to require the most detailed analysis: biological resources (CRLF, SFGS, nesting birds, rare plants, ESHA adjacency, LCP consistency), visual/aesthetics (two-story home against open space), cultural resources, noise (construction and street extension), air quality/GHG, and geology/soils (coastal bluff proximity). One round of staff review:
Work Product: AIS (one electronic copy in Word and PDF).
3.5 TASK 5: ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION
Weeks 12-16. Based on the AIS conclusions, the Administrative MND will lay out mitigation measures in conformance with CEQA and Chapter 18.38. We will revise the AMND based on the City’s review and comments.
Work Product: 1st and 2nd AMND (one electronic copy each in Word and PDF). 22 RFP for 1049 Railroad Avenue Residential Project February 2026
3.6 TASK 6: DRAFT IS/MND & STATE CLEARINGHOUSE FILING
Weeks 17-19. The Draft IS/MND will go to the State Clearinghouse and out for public review with all supporting technical studies. Everything in PDF will be textrecognized and ADA-compliant per SCH requirements. Files will be formatted for the City’s website at 20 GB or less.
Work Product: Draft IS/MND with technical studies (ADA-compliant electronic copies to SCH and City, in Word and PDF).
3.7 TASK 7: MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Weeks 14-18. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) identifies each mitigation measure, the responsible party, implementation timing, and monitoring requirements. Administrative draft for City review first, then a final version incorporated into the Draft MND.
Work Products: Administrative Draft MMRP (one electronic copy in Word and PDF); Draft MMRP.
3.8 TASK 8: NOTICES
Weeks 18-22. All required notices will be prepared: Administrative Draft CEQA findings with substantial evidence, NOI, and NOD.
Work Products: Admin Draft CEQA findings; NOI and NOD (ADA-compliant electronic copies in Word and PDF).
3.9 TASK 9: FINAL IS/MND
Weeks 20-24. Responses to public comments, revisions to the Draft MND as needed.
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15088, any important changes will get highlighted directly in the text. The Administrative Final document will be provided for City review, then the Final MND in ADA-compliant format.
Work Products: Administrative Final MND; Final MND (ADA-compliant, Word and PDF).

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: April 7, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Irma Acosta, Administrative Analyst
TITLE: HALF MOON BAY HOTEL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 2025 ANNUAL
REPORT AND RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO CONTINUE TO LEVY
ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve the Half Moon Bay Hotel Business Improvement District 2025 Annual Report from the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce, the designated managing agency for the District; and
2) Adopt a Resolution declaring the City Council’s intention to levy an assessment for the Half Moon Bay Hotel Business Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and directing the City Clerk to schedule and notice a public hearing on April 21, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with this action. Any revenue generated through the BID levy will be transferred to the Business Improvement District.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Fiscal Sustainability Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the City of Half Moon Bay established the Half Moon Bay Hotel Business Improvement District (BID) pursuant to Part 6 Division 18 of the under the California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533. The purpose of this BID is to promote lodging at hotels within the City, administer marketing programs that increase overnight lodging, and fund BID-related activities.
In 2017, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors allowed the BID to expand its boundaries to include 10 additional commercial lodging establishments operating in the unincorporated areas of the Coastside, believing that adding these establishments would further its purpose of promoting tourism and lodging along the coast.
The Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) is designated as the managing agency for BID-related activities and, pursuant Section 36533 of the Code, prepares an annual 28
report which summarizes the BID’s priorities, outcomes, and expenditures from the previous calendar year. The report is to be reviewed and approved by the Council and, following approval, the Council must adopt a resolution of intent to levy the annual assessment for the following fiscal year. The resolution of intent also sets a public hearing to receive any written or oral protests for the continuation of the BID. A copy of the BID Annual Report is included as Attachment 2.
The assessment was originally set in 2004 at $1 per room per night. In 2024, the City Council approved an increase to $2 per room per night, which remains the current assessment amount.
The City Council determined that raising the fee was warranted given the increased cost of advertising and marketing and the rate had not been updated since the District’s formation in 2004. The BID applies to 18 hotels located on the Coastside.
DISCUSSION:
Hotels on the Coastside continue to face challenges related to economic uncertainty, staffing shortages, and rising operational costs. While group and corporate travel has begun to show signs of recovery, leisure travel remains the primary driver of overnight stays, particularly on weekends and during peak seasons. The Coastside continues to benefit from its proximity to the Bay Area, attracting visitors seeking short-term, drive-to destinations; however, not all of these visits translate into overnight stays, which limits the full economic benefit to the local lodging sector.
In calendar year 2025, the BID generated approximately $323,296 in total revenue, including assessments from both Half Moon Bay and unincorporated Coastside hotels. Total expenditures were approximately $330,732, reflecting continued investments in marketing, digital advertising, website enhancements, and the development of a comprehensive long-term marketing strategy. Key expenditures included the engagement of a full-service marketing firm to develop a five-year strategic plan, expanded digital and print advertising campaigns, and continued investment in visitor data collection and analysis. The BID also supported a dedicated Visit Half Moon Bay coordinator position to enhance marketing, group sales, and visitor engagement efforts. As a result, the BID ended the year with a net balance of approximately $56,094, with a reserve fund of $21,587, maintaining a stable financial position.
Occupancy rates across the Coastside showed continued improvement, with overall occupancy estimated at approximately 60–61%, reflecting a modest increase from the prior year.
Performance varied across properties, with some hotels exceeding 70–80% occupancy while others, particularly those impacted by renovations or limited inventory, reported lower occupancy levels. The Chamber’s strategic focus in 2025 included expanding digital visibility, increasing social media engagement, and leveraging partnerships with Visit California and regional tourism organizations. These efforts resulted in increased website traffic (over 581,000 users) and growth across multiple digital channels, including social media and email outreach.
Additionally, the Chamber completed data collection for a comprehensive visitor study and initiated analysis to better understand visitor behavior, spending patterns, and travel trends. 29
This data will inform future marketing strategies and help position Half Moon Bay as a competitive destination for both leisure and group travel.
Looking ahead, the BID will continue to build on this momentum by implementing the longterm marketing strategy, strengthening regional partnerships, and targeting opportunities to increase overnight visitation and economic activity along the Coastside.
Resolution of Intention and Public Hearing
If the City Council adopts the Resolution of Intention, a public hearing will be noticed for April 21, 2026. The public hearing will provide the businesses and the community with an opportunity to voice their opinions regarding the FY 2026-27 assessment and the option to protest the assessment. At the public hearing, the testimony of all interested people for or against the continuation of the BID, the boundaries of the BID, or furnishing of specified types of improvements or activities will be heard. Any interested person may make a protest orally or in writing. However, only written protests will be considered in determining if there is a majority protest. The form and manner of protests shall comply with Streets and Highways Code Section 36524 and 36525. The City Council may continue the proposed BID at the public hearing unless oral or written protests are received from businesses that pay 50% or more of the proposed assessments. In that event, the Council cannot consider continuation of the BID assessment for at least one year.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO LEVY AN
ASSESSMENT FOR THE HALF MOON BAY HOTEL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Karen Decker, Interim Deputy City Manager
Marijose Alvarado, Communications Program Manager
Eddie Behle, Recreation Supervisor
TITLE: NATIONAL NIGHT OUT UPDATE
________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive an overview of the City’s past participation in National Night Out and provide policy direction on the City’s role and level of support moving forward.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact varies based on the number of participating neighborhoods and the level of City support. In recent years, the City has provided approximately $150 in gift cards per registered gathering, along with staff time for program administration, coordination, and outreach. Average total costs have ranged from $2,000 to $4,650 per year). Council direction regarding the City’s future role will determine ongoing costs.
STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:
This action supports the Healthy Communities & Public Safety and Inclusive Governance elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
National Night Out (NNO) is a national community -building campaign and annual community event held on the first Tuesday in August that encourages neighborhood gatherings and strengthens partnerships among residents, law enforcement, and public safety agencies.
Historically, in Half Moon Bay, residents have registered to host neighborhood gatherings, with the City providing limited administrative and financial support to facilitate participation. This effort has generally been coordinated through the City Manager’s Office as part of the Emergency Preparedness program and more recently with support from Recreation staff.
While the event is community-driven, the City’s operational support, financial contributions, and administrative processes play an important role. The last time the Council provided policy 36 direction related to this program was almost ten years ago. As staff prepare for future events, clarification of the City’s role will help ensure a consistent and transparent approach.
DISCUSSION:
Although residents organize the individual gatherings, the City has provided administrative services and financial support that have evolved incrementally. Council direction will help establish a clear and consistent framework for future events.
In recent years, staff responsibilities have included:
• Updating the City website with the event and registration information • Coordinating with IT to create and manage an online registration form • Reviewing registrations and verifying locations within City limits • Compiling participant data and maintaining a public event map • Coordinating with public safety partners, San Mateo County Board of Supervisor’s Office for District 3 (District 3), and Community Emergency Response Teams, and the Half Moon Bay Library
• Assisting with street closures for larger parties (Public Works) • Visiting a small number of gatherings across districts (4-6 staff) Registration typically closes approximately two weeks prior to the event to allow for coordination.
The City has also provided financial support in the form of gift cards, typically $150 per registered gathering. Distribution requires staff coordination, including purchase, tracking, and host pickup.
Following registration, event information is shared with the key stakeholders noted above, which is used to plan outreach or visits.
Based on past experience, staff have identified several considerations:
• The current self-registration process provides limited oversight of gathering size and scope
• In at least one instance, a registered event did not occur, requiring follow-up to recover unused funds
• There is no mechanism to verify how distributed funds are used • Some gatherings combine multiple registrants into larger events • Although registration and gift cards are limited to City residents, the City has historically supported gatherings at the Moonridge Affordable Housing community, which is outside of City limits, due to many of residents participating in school and other programs within the city
While administrative demands are relatively modest, the financial support and distribution process would benefit from clearer guidelines.
37 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
To guide future implementation, staff requests Council direction in the following areas:
City Role
• Level of administrative support for registration, mapping, and coordination Financial Support
• Whether to continue providing gift cards or other assistance Participation Structure
• Whether participation remains open-ended or is limited Selection Process
• If limited, whether to use a lottery or application process Accountability
• Whether to establish guidelines for use of City-provided funds CONCLUSION:
National Night Out provides an opportunity for neighborhood connection and community engagement, often with more than 500 residents participating annually. While resident-led, the City has historically supported the event through administrative coordination and limited financial assistance without recent formal policy direction.
Council guidance will establish a clear, consistent, and transparent framework for future events while maintaining support for community participation.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: April 7, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Todd Seeley, Interim Public Works Director
TITLE: PURCHASE OF A NEW ALL ELECTRIC HYUNDAI IONIQ 5
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement in the amount of $41,697.04 with Hyundai of San Bruno for the purchase of a 2026 all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the purchase of two replacement fleet vehicles was included in the Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Public Works Operating Budget allocated to vehicle replacement. The budget includes a balance of $43,549.00 which will cover the purchase price of $41,697.04.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This purchase supports all Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Half Moon Bay keeps a pool vehicle in its fleet for miscellaneous business. This includes use by the engineering staff for field visits, the Community Preservation Specialist for code enforcement matters, and the City Council for legislative affairs. Having a multi-use vehicle is a common practice among municipalities and gives city staff and elected officials additional options for conducting official city business. The current pool vehicle is a 2010 Ford Fusion and is one of the oldest vehicles in the City’s fleet. The Ford Fusion currently being used is past the end of its useful life and does not currently meet the needs of the city.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department is responsible for the City’s fleet. This includes both maintaining vehicles and replacing them when they have reached the end of their useful life. Ideally fleet vehicles and equipment owned by the city would be replaced every 10 to 12 years, but fiscal constraints sometimes make that difficult.
39 In preparing the FY 2025-26 budget, Public Works staff evaluated vehicle and equipment needs and included funding in the Operating Budget to purchase a new van for the Recreation division and replace the existing pool vehicle used by staff and elected officials if necessary. Due to state mandates for municipal fleets, Staff are required to acquire only plug-in electric vehicles for fleet additions and replacement, if the vehicles meet operational needs. Our research has determined that all-electric vehicle options are currently viable for a portion of the City’s fleet, and the recommended purchase of this vehicle falls under these criteria. The Ioniq 5 Is a highly reviewed vehicle and staff have determined that this vehicle is the best option in this price range. Its size and range are perfect for the pool vehicle and will serve the City well. Other options exist at higher price points such as the Ford Mach E and some Tesla models, butstaff feel the best overall value is the Ioniq 5.
The current Ford Fusion only has 33,500 miles on it but has had some minor electrical issues and general maintenance expected of a vehicle that is 16 years old. Since this vehicle was targeted for replacement in the last budget cycle, staff feel that this acquisition will benefit the City in the long run from a maintenance perspective while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the existing pool vehicle.
Per the City’s purchasing policy, staff solicited and received a quote for the new all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 from Hyundai of San Bruno, Genesis and Hyundai of Mountain View and Stevens Creek Hyundai. Hyundai of San Bruno provided the lowest bid, and staff is recommending that Hyundai of San Bruno is awarded the purchase agreement for this new vehicle. Staff are also requesting approval of the purchase based on the three competitive bids, rather than a formal competitive bid process pursuant to Chapter 3.98 due to operational needs. Because this purchase was included in the budget process, there is available funding in the Vehicle Replacement Fund to cover this vehicle purchase request.
Pricing
Hyundai of San Bruno $41,697.04
Genesis and Hyundai of Mountain View $44,459.92
Stevens Creek Hyundai $43,934.00
The new all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be the third vehicle of its kind in the City’s fleet. Public Works has owned an all-electric Ford F150 Lightning for two years and Recreation recently acquired an all-electric Ford Transit Van for their operation. The mileage range of both the truck and van has proven to be adequate for daily operations.
The Current pool vehicle and the previous truck that Recreation was using (Ford Fusion and Ford Ranger respectively) will be disposed of once the new pool vehicle arrives, in accordance with City policy. A separate item will be brought to City Council at a later date to authorize auctioning of the two vehicles.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH HYUNDAI OF SAN BRUNO IN THE AMOUNT OF $41,697.04 FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN ALL ELECTRIC 2026 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department requested and received funding authorization in the 2025-26 Operating Budget to purchase two new fleet vehicles; and WHEREAS, the City’s current Ford Fusion Pool Vehicle has become insufficient for the needs of the City and has outlived its useful life; and WHEREAS, staff have evaluated and determined that the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the best piece of equipment to address the City’s Pool Vehicle needs; and WHEREAS, there is sufficient funding in the FY 2025-26 Public Works Operating Budget to cover the costs of this purchase; and
WHEREAS, the Department has solicited bids from multiple vendors and Hyundai of San Bruno submitted the lowest bid for the purchase of a 2026 all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Hyundai of San Bruno in the amount of $41,697.04 to purchase an all-electric, 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5. ***************************************************************** I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly passed and adopted on the 7th day of April 2026, by the City Council of Half Moon Bay by the following vote:

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: April 7, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Leslie Lacko, Community Development Director
TITLE: AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MILLER PLANNING
ASSOCIATES TO UPDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND ASSOCIATED
SECTIONS OF MUNICIPAL CODE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Miller Planning Associates, for an amount not to exceed $769,946, to update the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan and associated sections of the City Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project cost is $769,946, of which $500,000 is funded by a grant by the Coastal Commission with a City match of $269,946. In 2025, City Council set aside $200,000 to make the match for the Coastal Commission grant award. The remaining $69,946 comes from the Housing Element implementation fund, which was set aside by Council under the former Community Development Director in anticipation of necessary updates to the implementation plan resulting from the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element.
BACKGROUND:
The City updated the Local Coastal Program (LCP, Land Use Plan (LUP) in 2020 and anticipated that an update to the LCP Implementation Plan (IP) would follow. The LUP is similar to a General Plan, in that it provides a vision for future development and sets broad policies. Because the City is located entirely within the Coastal Zone, the LUP functions as the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan. The IP is the City’s zoning and development code that determines how the policies of the LUP are implemented.
With great foresight, the City included in the 2020 LUP an appendix that lists the necessary updates to the IP to bring it into conformance with the LUP and specifies where the LUP supersedesthe IP until its update. This has been a great help in implementing the LUP since 2020.
However, even with this guidance, the IP is in need of a major overhaul. Sections of the IP have been updated but the City has never done a comprehensive update to the IP that addresses internal consistency and a long list of new laws.

Award of Contract for Preparation of the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration at 1049 Railroad Avenue
