Project Name: 757 Seacoast Drive
Project Number: USE-22-0088
Comments from 02-16-2023 DRB Meeting
1. Incorporate additional varied stepbacks and setbacks along the southern and western elevations
2. Stagger and stepback the second story decks facing Seacoast Drive
3. Provide variations in roof form and height to provide variation in the building massing and primary facades
4. Consider additional transportation demand management strategies
5. Consider a design that would enhance the amount of parking available or maximize that parking available for the site, potentially reallocating space for parking purposes

Responses
1. See revised plans. The revision includes staggered units and decks on level 2 at the west elevation. It also shows the design pulled forward the southeast corner of level 1 forward 12” to add more variation to the 3-story structure. There is an added pop out / window framed element around the windows on 2nd and 3rd floor of south elevation on unit 6.
2. See revised plans, level 2 decks on west elevation and building walls have been adjusted to show added variation and stepbacks and to add interest to the building.
3. On the back building we lowered the parapet wall 12” throughout, at all locations except for where it needs to be at 42” for roof deck guardwall height.
4. See A1.0, plans call for bike racks, bus routes/maps, as well as transit subsidies for commercial employees. The site is also fortunate to be within a few blocks of free public parking lots. All workers, customers, and tenants will be made aware. New private, wall hanging, covered bike racks at north side of commercial have been added.
5. There is no other parking that can be accommodated on site. We need commercial and one unit on the ground floor for building code requirements. The project also proposes to close two curb cuts which will gain four (4) new off-street parking spaces.
6. All building elements and mechanical equipment will be below the 35’ proposes height limit.
7. See A1.0 and A2.0, patio fencing revised to show as tempered glass partition. Additional vertical elements of glass are not desired and glass wall as proposed will protect and privatize the dining patio from traffic, noise, and weather per the concern.
8. New private, wall hanging, covered bike racks at north side of commercial have been added. We have also incorporated private storage space on the wall/ceiling at the front of the parking spaces.
9. See A1.0, note revised to include bike routes.
10. See exterior elevations, solid walls shown at all decks facing east on unit 7.
11. The landscape architect reviewed the plans and comment and has determined that increasing the density of any proposed planting areas is not possible. There are already so many plants that adding more will put all the landscaping at risk to not properly grow. The somewhat lighter density of plants at the southeast corner of the site is to allow access for utility meters.
12. There are already three large existing street trees on Donax. We have trees proposed on site but do not want large trees which will draw an excess amount of water for irrigation, as well as block views for neighbors. Larger trees here also can risk damage to the building when planted too close to the foundation.
13. See A1.0, we have doubled the number of lights in the parking areas.
14. This in particular does not fit the aesthetic of the building. One large overhang is also complicated to build, install and maintain.
Additionally, we’re trying to break up the elevations in plan and elevation and maximize variation much like the request for staggering the decks instead of one straight line.
15. See A4 sheets, exterior elevations, all guardrails revised to be glass. Railings shown as 18” wall + 24” glass.
16. See A4.2, trash enclosure revised to be stucco to match new building.
17. See A1.0 and A2.0, masonry wall cleared out to minimum structural walls for maximum visibility.
18. There is currently no proposed use for the commercial space. Regardless of what the future use is, they would be required to complete a TI permit and have substantial conformance with the approved CDP design/exterior look. We will leave a strip of the slab missing for future plumbing configuration.
19. See A4 sheets, all rooftop areas will drain to in-wall drains and some downspouts on ground floor, all labeled.

Senior Planner Openshaw gave a PowerPoint presentation.
The Architect of the project gave a presentation.
Public Comment: Paul Palmieri spoke in support of the project.
Chair Bradley addressed the architect of the project. He referenced Attachment 4 of the staff report. He stated that it seemed the document was crafted without taking staff's recommendation into consideration. He explained that this shows a lack of effort on the part of the developer to comply with the recommendations of staff.
Member Rogers spoke on the design of the building and that it looks similar to the Brigantine building. He stated that there are many aspects of the project that he likes and that he is in support of the project in general. He stated that he liked the rooftop solar and suggested EV chargers.
In response to Chair Bradley's question, Senior Planner Openshaw stated that there are three EV chargers included in this project. Building Official Wagner spoke on the permits and building requirements for EV chargers.
He stated that some of the new laws that recently have gone into effect require EV chargers in some capacity dependent on the scale of the project and parking spaces allotted. When there are less than 20 residential units there are specific guidelines to follow for EV chargers. In addition, depending on the number of spaces there would be a certain number of high level chargers required.
In response to Member Rogers' question, Senior Planner Openshaw referenced the site plan that shows where the EV chargers are being proposed. Building Official Wagner confirmed that the proposed EV chargers in this project exceeds what is required.
Attachment 7
3 In response to Member Rogers' question, Senior Planer Openshaw stated that the total square footage of the lot is 10,608 sq. ft.
The architect confirmed Member Rogers' question that the plans show 1591 sq. ft. of total landscaping. He also confirmed that the part of the design for commercial use is merely a shell because they do not know what commercial use will be going into the space.
Member Rogers recommended that the City Council consider additional transport and demand management solutions specifically for Council to consider the imposition of that in lieu of fees so that the City can develop a budget to build a parking structure downtown.
In response to Member Grace's question, the architect stated that the commercial space can be split and shared for multiple use. He also replied that, should the use be for a restaurant and require equipment on the roof, that there is equipment designed as horizontal structures so that the building would not exceed the height limit.
In response to Chair Bradley's question, Senior Planner Openshaw explained that there are exceptions to the building height within the City's code, such as for mechanical structures. However, staff can include conditions of approval that are related to the design to say, "where feasible no portions of the structure would exceed the height limit," or include additional screening elements to ensure structures that exceed the height limits are not visible from the street.
In response to Member Grace's question, the architect stated that the roof is designed to host the necessary solar requirements. Member Grace asked that for all future projects the solar capabilities be displayed on the plans.
She stated that the design does resemble the Brigantine and that she approved of that look. She recommended a more enclosed space around the patio so that it can be used in the winter time, perhaps heating lamps.
She recommended secured bicycle parking for the residents separate from the bicycle rack for the retail space, adding secured equipment storage on the first floor accessible from the outside for the residence. She recommended that the first floor unit be turned into a parking garage and equipment storage. She requested that the bike routes be posted along with the bus routes. She recommended that for unit 7 instead of the glass guardrail that it be made with a screen like material for more privacy for the residents. She recommended that the landscaping be reevaluated as it seems minimal. She suggested tall trees for shade and not so much low landscaping. She recommended that the lighting in the parking area be
Attachment 7
4 evaluated to ensure that it is sufficient enough to meet safety needs, as well as reevaluate the solid wall in the garage; perhaps it can be converted to pillars so that they can be walked/seen through.
In response to Member Voronchihin's question, Senior Planner Openshaw explained that staff is recommending enhanced variation in the building.
She stated that staff has had a conversation with the applicant regarding the underlying zoning. She advised that they do meet step-back requirements, however, historically staff has received comments related to the shape of buildings, with this design being more modern and square shaped staff is recommending additional variations in the roof line as well as the set-backs and step-backs to address those concerns. She explained that staff is recommending the building be pushed back and pulled out in different areas to avoid obstruction on any views, to stagger the second story deck so that it is not a flush line, and to vary the roof line to provide variation in the building's massing.
In response to Chair Bradley's question, Senior Planner Openshaw stated that all the units are running market rates for rent.
In response to Chair Bradley's question, Building Official Wagner stated that, along with Assistant Fire Marshall Santos, they reviewed the plans to evaluate the safety and emergency evacuation routes and they suggested that another stair case or exit may be necessary. This was conveyed to the developer and they have been working on a solution.
In response to Chair Bradley, Senior Planner Openshaw stated that there are no requirements related to the number of tenet spaces, and that she would have to confirm if there are occupancy requirements. She also confirmed that staff does review the plan calculations and that the landscaping calculations for this project meet the requirements.
In response to Chair Bradley's question, the developer confirmed that there are two roll-up doors on the store front.
Chair Bradley mentioned that the Board agrees that parking is an issue, however, they cannot reject a project for this reason if it meets all the requirements. He suggested creating an ad-hoc committee to craft a statement that conveyed their recommendations about parking that they can attach to any recommendation they make. Member Rogers agrees that parking is an issue and is willing to have this discussion.
Senior Planner Openshaw stated that staff can return to a future meeting with an item to discuss parking requirements.
Attachment 7
5 In response to Chair Bradley's question, Building Official Wagner stated that every project is required to put together an energy compliance document, which will describe the overall compliance margin for that project.
Depending on what features they install that are energy efficient or compliant, they can offset that with solar. He also stated that during the framework portion of the project is when they would evaluate the proposed installation of solar and if it meets all requirements.
Chair Bradley stated that the design was monolithic and boxy, and agreed with staff's recommendations.
Senior Planner Openshaw reads back the Boards recommendations.
Member Voronchihin asked if the board can recommend affordable housing be required in this project. Senior Planner Openshaw explained that from a zoning perspective it is not required and that affordable housing is not encompassed in the design of the project.
In response to Member Grace's question, Senior Planner Openshaw explained that the project design is brought to the board in the early stages where you see about 30% completion of plans. The remaining design is reconciled to include building code requirements in the building permit process. It is staff's responsibility to ensure that any adjustments to the plans made during that process meet the design that was approved.
Member Voronchihin recommended that the type of drainage system be specified in the plans.
Dave Sweeney, from the development group, stated that he appreciates the Board's recommendation, that they have built over 20 units in town, and their goal is to do what is right for the City. He explained that they are having difficulty with the set-backs and step-backs, however, they have cut approximately 25% of total space to make the building non monolithic, staggered and set-back.
Member Rogers thanked Mr. Sweeney for his comments and commented on the parking concern. He requested that the developers in town get together and come up with a potential plan to address the parking issues.
He provided an example such as a joint agreement between the local developers to build a parking structure downtown.
Member Voronchihin and Member Grace thanked the developers for their time and efforts.

ITEM TITLE: DISCUSSION OF LOCAL CAMPAIGN REGULATIONS. (0430-95) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At a previous City Council meeting, Councilmember McKay requested that there be a City Council discussion on local campaign contribution regulations. This item allows the City Council to discuss some sample regulations from a nearby jurisdiction and provide direction to staff about what it would like to see in an ordinance on this topic that the City Council can consider adopting at a future Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss regulations and provide direction to staff.
OPTIONS:
Discuss item and provide direction to staff to bring back an ordinance at a future Council meeting; or
Discuss item and decide not to adopt local campaign contribution regulations.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
A local jurisdiction may enact a campaign ordinance that provides for additional or different campaign contribution requirements for candidates in its jurisdiction that is different than the State law contribution limits. Effective January 1, 2021, the State set a default campaign contribution limit that applies to city and county candidates when the city or county has not already enacted a local contribution limit. Along with the new campaign contribution limit, there are other related provisions that formerly applied only to State level candidates that will now apply to city and county candidates. Pursuant to Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation 18545(a), the State default contribution limit is $5,500 for elections occurring between 1/1/23 and 12/31/24 for city councilmembers.
Currently, the City of Imperial Beach does not have its own campaign contribution limits, so it uses the default contribution limit set by the State. If the City Council wants to adopt its own campaign contribution limits to be different than the State default contribution limits, it could do so. The draft regulations attached to this staff report are largely based on the regulations from the
P a g e | 2
City of Coronado, but the City Council can provide direction to revise them as it sees fit. There are also many other cities in San Diego County and California that have set local contribution limits that can be used as examples.
If the City Council does adopt its own campaign contribution limits, the City will then be responsible for the enforcement of those regulations. If the City does not adopt its own regulations, then the State continues to be the one to enforce the laws related to the default State contribution limits.
Another factor that the City Council may want to consider is the new law adopted by SB1439 that amended Government Code section 84308 and prohibits a councilmember from accepting a campaign donation of more than $250 from an applicant with a proceeding before the City Council.
It also requires Council members to recuse themselves from voting on an item if they received a campaign contribution of more than $250 from an applicant as defined by the law. If the City Council were to set the campaign contributions limits below the $250 threshold, then this new requirement of Government Code section 84308 would likely not apply.
There are many considerations on this issue, and staff is just presenting sample regulations to provide a starting point for the Council to consider and amend as desired before final adoption at a future meeting. If it is helpful, the Council may want to consider appointing a limited term ad hoc to work with staff on drafting a final ordinance to bring back to the City Council for consideration.
In addition to discussing campaign contribution limits, the City Council may consider whether local regulations should be implemented to reduce vandalism of campaign signs. The State of California has laws to protect against larceny, destruction, and vandalism of political signs placed on private property during campaign season. However, complaints related to unauthorized removal or destruction and vandalism of political campaign signs continue to increase each election. Considering a local regulation could aid existing State laws to facilitate prosecution in cooperation with the District Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be costs associated with hiring special counsel to assist the City with enforcement of any local campaign regulations adopted by the City Council.

2.55.010 Purpose and Scope.
Participation in fair and inclusive elections is the cornerstone to effect local government. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure all candidates and their supporters are provided with rules and guidelines that are clear, unbiased, and objective. Additionally, contribution limits have been established to ensure that qualified candidates have an opportunity to engage in the political process even if they possess different fiscal resources. The ideal is for each candidate to be motivated by community interests without even the appearance of influence from large financial contributors.
The contents of this chapter are intended to be consistent with and supplement the requirements of California State law regarding election protocols. Specifically, the provisions of Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and California Government Code Section 81013 support the finding that municipal elections are municipal affairs; the regulation of campaign contributions and expenditures in municipal elections is not preempted by general state law; and such activity is the proper subject of municipal regulation under the authority granted to cities by the State of California. Should any provision of this chapter be determined to be invalid for any reason, the remainder shall be severed therefrom and shall remain in full force and effect.

1.84.010 Scope of chapter.
A. This chapter is intended to place realistic and enforceable limits on political campaigns conducted within the City, as well as to supplement the requirements of State law with regard to the reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures, for the purpose of preventing the exercise by campaign contributors of potential undue or improper influence over elected officials and to inform the public of the sources and objects of campaign contributions and expenditures. The City Council finds that municipal elections are municipal affairs; the regulation of campaign contributions and expenditures in municipal elections is not preempted by general State law; and such activity is the proper subject of municipal regulation under the authority granted to cities by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and State Government Code Section 81013. This chapter is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with constitutional requirements. Should any provision of this chapter be determined to be invalid for any reason, the remainder shall be severed therefrom and shall remain in full force and effect.
B. Definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them by this subsection:

A candidate controls a committee if such candidate, his or her agent or any other committee such candidate controls has significant influence on the actions or decisions of the committee or if such committee coordinates its expenditures with the expenditures of a candidate or committee controlled by a candidate, whether or not such candidate is personally aware of such coordination.
