ITEM TITLE: DESIGNATION OF MAYORAL AND CITY COUNCIL ASSIGNMENTS REQUIRING ELECTED OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION FOR 2025 UPDATE (0410-50).

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

City Clerk
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council voted at its August 6, 2025 meeting to appoint Councilmember Mitch McKay to serve as Mayor for the remainder of former Mayor’s term, which concludes with the November 2026 election. Mayor McKay was officially sworn into office on August 20, 2025.

As a result of this transition in City Council representation, the City Council Assignments for 2025 must be reviewed and updated to reflect the new Mayor and any related changes in regional representation.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider updating City Council assignments for 2025.

OPTIONS:
 Approve the update to the City Council assignments for 2025.  Discuss alternative assignments and approval modifications to the proposal.  Request additional information and an additional report (this action could impact representation at one or more of the regional organizations until the assignment is complete).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In accordance with Section 2.08.030.D of the Imperial Beach Municipal Code, the Mayor will “represent the City in all regional public agencies which require an elected City Official, unless otherwise determined by the City Council.”
On July 1, 2025, former Mayor Paloma Aguirre was elected to serve as the San Diego County Supervisor for District 1. She was sworn into office on July 22, 2025, and on the same day submitted her letter of resignation from the position of Imperial Beach Mayor, creating a vacancy in the Office of the Mayor.

Pursuant to State law, the City Council voted at its regular meeting on August 6, 2025, to appoint Councilmember Mitch McKay to serve as Mayor for the remainder of former Mayor Aguirre’s term, which runs through the November 2026 election. Mayor McKay was sworn into office on August 20, 2025.

P a g e | 2
As a result of this transition in City Council representation, the City Council Assignments for 2025 must be reviewed and updated to reflect the new Mayor and any related changes in regional representation.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2025-046 APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES’ INTERNATIONAL UNION (SEIU), LOCAL 221. (0540-20)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Human Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-046, which would approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Imperial Beach and Service Employees’ International Union (SEIU), Local 221, for a two-year period starting July 1, 2025, and ending on June 30, 2027.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2025-046, which would approve and adopt a twoyear Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with the Service Employees’ International Union (SEIU), Local 221.

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution No. 2025-046 as proposed; or
 Provide direction to the City Manager to take specific action.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 2023, the City of Imperial Beach entered a two-year MOU with the SEIU, Local 221. The agreement was retroactive to July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025.

In anticipation of the MOU’s expiration, the City engaged in good faith meet and confer negotiations with SEIU in early 2025. These discussions led to Tentative Agreements (TAs) for a new two-year MOU covering the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The Tentative Agreements were approved and adopted by the City Council on August 6, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-037.

A summary of the key terms of the agreements are as follows:
1) A new MOU for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027; and 2) General language clean-up; and
3) The following salary adjustments:
a. 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), effective and retroactive to July 1, 2025, for all miscellaneous full-time and part-time permanent, probationary, seasonal, and variable employees.

P a g e | 2
b. As part of the 2023-2025 SEIU MOU, the City committed to conducting a comprehensive classification and compensation study for all SEIU-represented classifications. The study began in the first quarter of 2024 and was completed on December 31, 2024. Its purpose was to evaluate market competitiveness across San Diego County city agencies, identify classifications compensated below the market median, and recommend adjustments to bring those classifications to the median level.

The compensation study found that 14 out of 28 SEIU-represented classifications reviewed were compensated below the market median. Through recent labor negotiations, these classifications were identified in the MOU to receive salary adjustments aligning them with the market median.

The following positions were identified by the compensation study as being 1% to 25% below the market median:
 Building/Housing Inspector I
 Facilities Supervisor
 Fleet Supervisor
 Lead Maintenance Worker
 Maintenance Worker II
 Mechanic II
 Public Works Inspector
 Sewer Supervisor
 Tidelands Supervisor
 Ocean Lifeguard I
 Ocean Lifeguard II
 Marine Safety Sergeant
For details on these adjustments, please refer to Exhibit B in Attachment 2 of this staff report. These adjustments do not reflect a 2% COLA as part of the MOU and recently adopted salary schedule.
c. Based on an independent Organizational and Operational Assessment of the Marine Safety Department, which includes a salary study, the Ocean Lifeguard I, Ocean Lifeguard II, and Marine Safety Sergeant classifications are also being adjusted to the median.
d. 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), effective July 1, 2026, for all miscellaneous full-time and part-time permanent, probationary, seasonal, and variable employees; and
4) Updated language regarding overtime work, to include paid leave for the purpose of calculating overtime pay; and
5) Updated paid-leave benefits for permanent part-time employees such as the addition of the six (6) administrative leave hours per fiscal year, defining the number of hours provided to permanent part-time during the holiday closure period of December 24 to January 1, and the number of hours paid for holidays to be set at six (6) hours for each benefit; and 6) Updated language for full-time employees to sell back up to 40 hours of vacation accruals per fiscal year; and

P a g e | 3
7) Increased safety shoe allowance by $50 for a total of $300 per fiscal year for full-time designated Public Works employees, Code Enforcement Officers, Building Inspector, and Community Response Team, as well as $300 every alternate year for part-time Community Park Ranger and Fire Inspector employees; and 8) Updated uniform language for part-time and full-time employees in the Public Works, Fire, and the Parks, Recreation and Community Services departments; and 9) Updated language on out-of-classification pay and the addition of a special new compensation, Temporary Upgrade Pay, for employees who are required to work in an upgraded position/classification at full capacity for a limited duration. An employee assigned to work in a temporary upgraded position would be paid for these shifts 5% above their current base salary; and
10) Updated longevity pay language to include time worked in a part-time and/or seasonal position towards the twenty (20) years of service; and
11) A cafeteria allotment of $2,250 per month, for the term of the contract, to cover health benefit premiums for all full-time employees and their eligible dependents; and 12) 2% increase in employee cost-sharing contribution for classic members’ CalPERS retirement benefits, contingent on a CalPERS contract amendment.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All terms in the MOU, except those contingent on budget performance, have been calculated to include all applicable employee salary and benefits. Staff will monitor funding in the Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to ensure sufficient resources are available to support the increased cost in employe salary and benefits for the two-year period. Management will also continue to monitor operating expenditure and evaluate spending. Staff would make the necessary budget amendments during the year-end budget review.

Preamble
Representatives of the City of Imperial Beach and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Local 221, have met and conferred in good faith regarding wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment and have exchanged freely information, opinions, and proposals in a sincere effort to reach agreement on all matters relating to the employment conditions and employer-employee relations of such employees.

This Memorandum of Understanding, hereinafter referred to as “MOU,” is entered into pursuant to the Meyers-Millas-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3500-3511) and has been jointly prepared by the parties.

This MOU shall constitute the whole and entire existing agreement for salary and fringe benefits applicable to members of the SEIU, Local 221, hereinafter referred to as “UNION” or “SEIU,” and it supersedes all prior agreements, commitments, and practices.

It is understood by the parties that part-time seasonal employees continue to be entitled to the benefits that they were receiving as of the effective date of this agreement. It is further understood that those benefits which the part-time seasonal employees are not currently receiving will not apply to them for the duration of this agreement, with the exception of benefits contained in this agreement. It is agreed that Permanent Part-Time employees are those who have CalPERS membership and work up to 1,500 hours in a fiscal year.

This MOU shall be presented to the Imperial Beach City Council as the joint recommendations of the undersigned for employee salary and fringe benefits adjustments for a two-year (2) period commencing July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.

The City of Imperial Beach recognizes that the UNION is the sole and exclusive bargaining agent and representative of the City of Imperial Beach’s Miscellaneous Classified Service, which is currently in the bargaining unit or which may later be added pursuant to the Imperial Beach Employer-Employee Relations Policy and State Law.

Article 1.0 Recognition
The City of Imperial Beach recognizes SEIU, Local 221, as the exclusive representative for employees in the classifications listed in Exhibit “A.”
Article 2.0 Management Rights
It is agreed that the City of Imperial Beach, hereafter to be referred to as the “CITY,” has the exclusive right to determine the mission of each of its constituent departments, divisions, boards, and commissions; to set standards of selection for employment and promotion; to exercise control and discretion over its organization and operations; to direct its employees and to take disciplinary action for proper cause; to relieve its employees from duty because of lack of work or other legitimate reasons; to maintain the efficiency of governmental operations; to determine the methods, means and personnel by which government operations are to be conducted; to determine the context of job classifications; to take all necessary actions to carry out its mission in emergencies; and to exercise complete control and discretion over the technology of performing its work.

Memorandum of Understanding – SEIU

The exercise of such rights shall be reasonable and shall not preclude employees of the UNION from meeting and conferring with management representatives about the effect that these decisions may have on matters pertaining to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.

Article 3.0 Employee Rights

1. It is agreed that each individual employee shall have the following rights, which he/she may exercise in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, and rules and regulations:
a. The right to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of his/her own choosing for the purpose of representation on matters of his/her employee relations with the CITY, or to refuse to join or participate in the activities of any organization. b. The right to be free from interference, intimidation, restraint, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal on the part of his/her department head, his/her supervisor, or other employees, or employees’ organizations, with respect to his/her membership or non-membership in any employee organization or with respect to any lawful activity associated therewith which is within the scope of representation.
c. The right to represent himself/herself individually in his/her employee relations with the CITY or through an authorized UNION representative.

2. It is agreed that whenever a CITY employee desires to represent himself/herself in consulting with CITY management during his/her regular hours of work, he/she shall first request and obtain from his/her department head permission to take time off to do so, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.

3. Personnel Folder: Employees have the right to review their individual personnel folder in the presence of a Human Resources Department staff member. Access shall be scheduled at the convenience of the employee and the Human Resources Department. When requested, copies of all materials to be included in personnel folders shall be provided to individual employees.

Article 4.0 UNION Rights
Recognizing the crucial role of the CITY in the preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare of a free society, the UNION agrees that it will take all reasonable steps to cause the employees covered by this agreement, individually and collectively, to perform all of their assigned duties, rendering loyal and efficient service to the very best of their abilities.

The UNION agrees that there shall be no interruption of these services for any cause whatsoever by the employees it represents; nor shall there be any concerted failure by them to report for duty; nor shall they absent themselves from their work or abstain, in whole or in part, from the full, faithful, and proper performance of all the duties of their employment.

The UNION further agrees that it shall not encourage any strikes, sit-downs, stay-ins, slowdowns, stoppages of work, malingering, or any acts that interfere in any manner or to any degree with the continuity of all CITY services during the term of this agreement.

1. Bulletin Boards: CITY bulletin boards shall be provided to the UNION at City Hall, Fire Department, Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, and the Marine Safety Departments for

Memorandum of Understanding – SEIU

2. Visitation Rights: It is agreed that the authorized representatives of the UNION shall be allowed to visit the CITY’s work premises for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not this MOU is being observed, to have access to the bulletin boards, and the right to be present at any meeting between the Stewards and the employer.

If he/she desires to interview any employee privately, he/she shall be permitted to do so during work hours, with the permission of the employee’s department head or immediate supervisor. The Business Agent or authorized representatives shall not interfere with the normal work hours operations or cause unnecessary loss of time to the CITY. A Business Agent is a key representative of a labor union who serves as the primary link between the union and its members, as well as between the union and employers.

Article 5.0 Unfair Employee Relations Practices

Article 10.0 Hours of Work & Rest Periods
The following provides the various work scheduling arrangements offered by the CITY to members of the bargaining unit. The availability of flexible work schedules is not intended to change regular hours of

Memorandum of Understanding – SEIU

operation, nor does it alter the responsibility or diminish the authority of department heads to establish and adjust work schedules.

Eligibility and Guidelines: Eligibility for participating in an alternative work schedule will depend on an assessment by the department head that the employee’s proposed work schedule will enable the employee to fully meet job responsibilities and performance expectations.

At the discretion of the City Manager, each department head is responsible for determining the best use of a flexible work arrangement and must consider the impact on work effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity. Alternative work schedules will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be reviewed on the basis of feasibility and assurance that the department’s efficient and effective services will not be interrupted. The department head is responsible for ensuring the fair and equitable administration of this procedure.

Flexible work schedules shall not adversely affect the services that are provided to the public, other operating units, or coworkers. The quantity, quality, and timeliness of employee work must be maintained.

Adequate supervisory contact and/or employee accountability must be maintained.

It is not required that alternative work schedules be available to all employees in a department. Where multiple employees request the use of a flexible work schedule, the department should develop a method for the equitable allowance of flextime or compressed workweek.

Employees should refer to Article 12.0 of this MOU for information on how alternative work schedules affect vacation, sick, and holiday leave, and how employees will be compensated for such leave.

Agreement: Upon the approval of an alternative work schedule, the employee must sign an agreement establishing the alternative work schedule and workweek. An employee’s alternative schedule shall commence on the first day of the pay period. The Agreement shall remain in effect until a change is made to the written agreement. Employees may change their alternate work schedule agreement a maximum of two (2) times per calendar year. Employees may change their alternate work schedule agreement more than two (2) per year only in the event of an emergency or special circumstance, subject to City Manager and/or Chief Administrative Officer, as his/her designee's approval. Management may discontinue, temporarily suspend, or alter the arrangement at any time, for any reason, after providing a fifteen (15) day notice of such change to the employee. An employee may also request a change to the schedule.

Procedure: An employee can request an Alternative Work Schedule by submitting an Alternative Work Schedule Agreement to his/her immediate supervisor. The supervisor and department head shall review the plan and, if approved, forward it to the Human Resources Department. Approval of the proposed schedule shall only be granted when the department head believes that the change in working hours will enhance the effective and efficient operation of the CITY and the employee’s work performance will not be adversely affected. This decision is at the sole discretion of the CITY and is not subject to the grievance procedure. The Human Resources Department shall review the proposed schedule to ensure compliance with applicable labor laws. When the proposed schedule is approved, the employee shall sign the Agreement.

c. The sell-back request shall be sent to the Human Resources Department in writing by email every year between October 1st and November 15th.

For the purpose of employee salary step placement under the new salary ranges, employees will be moved to the same step they are currently at within the salary schedule, e.g., if an employee is being compensated at step 1 on their current salary range, the employee’s updated compensation will be step 1 of the new salary range.

Per the classification and compensation study referenced above, employees currently in the Maintenance Worker classification will be reclassified as Maintenance Worker I. For salary placement purposes, each employee’s step will be assigned to the rate closest to, but not lower than, their current hourly rate.

The specific salary adjustments and classifications can be found on Exhibit B. b. As a result of the Marine Safety Department’s Independent Assessment, the following classifications will be adjusted:
i. Ocean Lifeguard I from range 32P to range 34
ii. Ocean Lifeguard II from range 37F to range 46
iii. Marine Safety Sergeant from range 50L to range 53

3. Salary Increases: Salary increases that are based on a known date, such as longevity pay, and step increases, shall be processed in the following manner:

If an employee’s anniversary date lands within the first seven (7) days of a pay period, the step increase will be effective at the beginning of the current pay period.

If an employee’s anniversary date lands on or beyond the eighth (8th) day of a pay period, the step increase will be effective on the first day of the pay period following the employee's anniversary date.

A sample of the pay period process can be found below.

Part-time, Seasonal, and variable Lifeguard employees would be eligible for a step increase on their anniversary date of each year if they have completed five hundred (500) hours in the previous 12 months.

The CITY will grant release time without loss in compensation for one employee to serve as a UNION designee for purposes of the meeting with the new employee.

2. Annual Training:
a. Annually, represented employees shall have the right to attend one in-person one (1) hour training conducted by the UNION to familiarize represented employees with the terms of this Agreement and discuss other labor relations issues during regular working hours and onsite. The CITY agrees to release employees without loss in compensation to attend the training.

Article 39.0 Temporary Special Project/Assignment Stipend Occasionally, complex one-time projects arise where there is a need for staff to temporarily be assigned to take on additional responsibilities outside their usual and customary job responsibilities for a certain period of time or based on the project timeline.

In such situations, an employee may be temporarily assigned to these special or complex projects to allow for an opportunity for professional growth, experience, and development as it is outside their usual duties.

These are clearly outside the scope of an employee’s regular job responsibilities or a significant additional work assignment based on the type of project being assigned.

Since the employee may assume significant additional responsibilities for a certain period, a temporary special project stipend of 10% (ten percent) above the employee’s current hourly pay rate will be compensated while performing under the temporary special project. A temporary special project stipend will represent an amount in addition to the employee’s base salary and does not become a part of the employee’s base salary. When the temporary special project or assignment ends, the employee’s temporary stipend is withdrawn.

Assuming additional responsibility or working on a special project does not automatically constitute the basis for a temporary pay increase. For example, a salary adjustment is not necessarily warranted if the assignment is brief (less than thirty (30) days), additional duties consist of a backup nature already expected of the employee, or additional duties are distributed among a number of employees in such a manner as to not significantly impact the total workload any one employee.

1. The following guidelines should be applied when determining if a temporary special project stipend is appropriate:
a. The new duties to be performed are clearly differentiated from the duties normally performed by the employee.
b. The new duties are not to be performed on a permanent basis.

Memorandum of Understanding – SEIU

c. The new duties are to be performed for more than thirty (30) days, but not more than twelve (12) months, depending on the project. Extensions may be granted by the City Manager or his designee, however, at no point may exceed eighteen (18) months, depending on the project. d. The employee is not performing the duties of a vacant position or higher position, just special project assignments.

2. The following procedures apply for administering a temporary special project stipend:
a. The department head of the employee must submit a written proposal specifying the type of project, a detailed description of the project, and anticipated length/timeline of the project. b. The HR department will review such requests to determine whether these additional duties are not within the employee's usual and customary duties and responsibilities. c. The City Manager or his designee will have the final review and approval of such request. d. Approvals must be obtained before an employee receives a temporary special project stipend pay increase.
e. Retroactive stipends will be reviewed and approved by the City Manager and/or his/her designee.

For Classic members, it is defined that this stipend is a temporary assignment and not an out-of-class appointment or performing the job of a vacant position. Therefore, the stipend will be reported to CalPERS and included in the employee’s pension benefit but will not be reported for purposes of the 960-hour limit on out-of-class appointments. For PEPRA members, the stipend will not be reported to CalPERS as defined by the Public Employee’s Pension Reform Act and will not be reported for purposes of the 960-hour limit on out-of-class appointments.

ITEM TITLE: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE 2025-1256 TO ADOPT THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24 PARTS 1 THROUGH 12 WITH APPENDICES, 2025

EDITION WITH AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, AND DELETIONS RELATED TO THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE. (0250-95 & 0710-95) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) revises the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code. The CBSC has mandated that all jurisdictions within the State start enforcing the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code on January 1, 2026. State law allows the City to adopt the California Building Standards Code with amendments as necessary to meet local conditions.

Without taking action to revise the California Building Standards Code prior to the effective date, the City loses the opportunity to revise the regulations governing new construction. Also, with the adoption of the new California Building Standards Code, changes to the Municipal Code are included to reference the codes and make minor changes to Chapters 8 and 15 of the Municipal Code to coordinate code and zoning requirements. Staff recommends the adoption of these code amendments contained in Ordinance No. 2025-1256 with incorporation of language from our previously approved code adoption and other minor technical changes.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council introduce the ordinance by title only, waiving further reading, and set this matter for public hearing on October 1, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. to allow for adoption of the ordinance.

OPTIONS:
 Introduce the ordinance by title only and set the matter for a public hearing and adoption on October 1, 2025; or
 Provide direction to the City Manager to take specific action; or  Request additional information and an additional report.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 2022, the City Council adopted the current edition of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, with local amendments by Ordinance Number 2022-1219 as part of the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) code adoption cycle. On a triennial basis the CBSC adopts the newly revised International Building and Fire Codes or “model codes” in an effort to remain compliant with advancements in recognized fire protection methods, technology and building

P a g e | 2
standards. Individual municipalities are then provided the opportunity to address the specific needs of their communities and make changes to these codes based upon topography, geography, climate, and energy management.

On July 1, 2025, the CBSC published the 2025 edition of California Code of Regulations, Title 24, allowing the City of Imperial Beach this opportunity to amend the new California Building Standards Code before becoming effective on January 1, 2026.

California Code of Regulations, Title 24, is divided into 12 individual parts that establish minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare for new construction and the maintenance of existing properties. When city staff finds that code sections do not adequately meet the needs of our community, more restrictive regulations may be adopted but must meet state approval. Codes specifically addressing the administrative sections of Title 24 do not require state approval and may be locally amended to meet the needs of the city.

After careful review of the new codes, city staff has determined that only minor technical changes are needed. Portions of the administrative section would receive revisions to resolve language conflicts with the existing Imperial Beach Municipal Code to maintain building safety standards.

To complete the code adoption, previously approved changes included in the 2022 code adoption ordinance have been carried forward in this adoption as they continue to enhance the city’s ability to effectively maintain public safety and provide aid within our community. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 130 and Health and Safety Code section 17958, the local amendments proposed in the attached ordinance and found in Exhibits A through L are substantially equivalent to local modifications that were previously made and filed by the City of Imperial Beach and were in effect prior to September 30, 2025.

Staff recommends introducing the ordinance and setting the public hearing for the Regular City Council meeting of Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the city, conforming existing development or currently permitted projects conforming to current code.

One set or digital copy of approved plans and specifications shall be returned to the applicant and shall be kept on the site of the building or work at all times during which the work authorized thereby is in progress.

SECTION 109
FEES
109.4 Work commencing before permit issuance. Whenever work for which a permit is required by this chapter or this code has been commenced without first obtaining a permit,

the Building Official may make a special investigation before a permit may be issued for such work.

An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee pursuant to this section. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt an applicant from compliance with all other provisions of this chapter, this code, or from the penalty prescribed by law.

However, the Building Official may waive the investigation fee if the Building Official finds that such work was urgently necessary, and it was not practical to obtain a permit before commencement of the work. In all such cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so. If there is an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, the investigation fee shall be charged.
109.6 Refunds. The Building Official may authorize refunding of a fee paid pursuant to this section which was erroneously paid or collected. The Building Official may authorize refunding of not more than 80 percent of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with this chapter and this code.

ITEM TITLE: EL TAPATIO (APPLICANT); REGULAR COASTAL PERMIT/CONDITIONAL USE

PERMIT/SITE PLAN REVIEW/DESIGN REVIEW CASE, AND CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION

PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT GUIDELINES SECTION 15332 PROPOSING A TWO-STORY ADDITION FOR A COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 667 SILVER STRAND BLVD. (APN 625-024-12-00) IN THE C/MU-2 (SEACOAST COMMERCIAL & MIXED USE) ZONE. USE-23-0045. (0600-20)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The owner of a property located at 667 Silver Strand Blvd, which is located in the C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed-Use) Zone, has initiated the process of expanding an existing one-story catering kitchen and coffee shop into a two-story commercial mixed-use development.

The development includes a 1,500 square-foot ground-floor addition to accommodate the existing catering operations, office space, and an enclosed parking area. Above, a new 1,810 square-foot second story would be constructed, featuring additional office space, restrooms, a kitchen, and a deck. The proposed expansion is designed to enhance the functionality and capacity of the current business, support future growth, and provide a modern, efficient workspace while maintaining compatibility with the surrounding commercial area.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-045 approving Regular Coastal Permit (CP-23- 0001), Conditional Use Permit (CUP-25-0003), Site Plan Review (SPR-23-0008), Design Review Case (DRC-23-0008), and categorical exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15332 Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects) to construct a new two-story addition to an existing single story catering kitchen and coffee shop at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard (APN 625-024-12-00) in the C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed Use) Zone.

OPTIONS:

In addition to adopting staff’s recommendations, the City Council can:
• Approve the project with modifications by the City Council; or • Disapprove the project and deny the requested permits by making specific findings for denial; or
• Continue the Public Hearing to a specific future meeting to allow staff to provide additional information upon which a decision can be rendered.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

An application (MF 1561), was originally submitted on July 18, 2023 for a Design Review Case (DRC-23-0008), Site Plan Review (SPR-23-0008), Coastal Development Permit (CP-23-0001), and Conditional Use Permit (CUP-25-0003), proposing a new 1,500 square foot ground floor addition and a new 1,810 square foot second story office space addition to an existing single story catering kitchen and coffee shop at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard in the C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed Use) zone.

Building Orientation & Design: The project proposes the expansion of an existing one-story catering kitchen and coffee shop into a two-story commercial mixed-use development. A firstfloor addition of 1,500 square feet would expand the already existing catering operations, office space, and an enclosed parking area, while the 1,810 square-foot second-story addition would contain offices, restrooms, a kitchen, and a new deck.

The proposed building addition would be oriented east-west, with the main pedestrian entrance provided from 3
rd Street on the east, and an existing secondary pedestrian access is provided along Silver Strand Boulevard on the west. The new addition to the building aims to create architectural interest on all sides, thus aligning with the intent of Guideline 5.5 of the City’s Commercial Design Guidelines.

Building Materials and Palette: The building features a modern, coastal contemporary design, emphasizing clean lines, flat roofs, and a mix of textures. It integrates natural materials such as wood-look cladding with geometric elements that create a sharp, minimalist aesthetic.

A bright color choice at the upper volumes introduces a vibrant artistic element, contributing to visual identity and local character.

Trash Enclosure: The existing trash enclosure measuring approximately 20 ft. x 30 ft. is proposed to remain in the same location and would not change in design. The enclosure walls are six (6) ft. high, finished with white painted stucco, and it is accessed by two sets of wooden swing gates painted dark brown. A gabled solid roof, open at each end, with an earth-tone blend of asphalt shingles, covers the enclosure.

Parking: Parking for the project would be located at the rear of the property and accessible from 3 rd Street. On-street parking is also available along Silver Strand Boulevard, 3rd Street, and Palm Avenue.

The Imperial Beach Municipal Code states that parking requirements shall be observed for proposed uses or developments requiring site plan review by the City Council or Community Development Director, provided that in no case shall the number of existing parking spaces be reduced and that any new and all existing parking spaces shall be permanently available and be permanently maintained for parking purposes. The Municipal Code also requires that all parking requirements for disabled stalls be satisfied according to State law and the California Building Code. In addition, the City Council may approve a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), subject to Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) 19.48.035, which allows shared parking to be permitted to satisfy on-site parking requirements when sufficient evidence is presented to justify the shared use. In accordance with this section, commercial mixed-uses in the C/MU-2 Zone require one parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (GFA). For the proposed 4,552 SF of commercial space, this results in five (5) required parking spaces (4,552/1000 = 4.552 [rounded up to 5 spaces]). The Imperial Beach Municipal Code allows a 25% reduction in required parking for vertical mixed-use projects with a CUP. Applying this reduction, the project’s requirement may be reduced from 5 spaces to 4 spaces (5*.75 = 3.75 rounded up to 4 spaces). The proposed mixed-use building provides 4 parking spaces, one of which is a garage space tandem with an open parking space. Parking spaces typically require unrestricted ingress and egress; however, IBMC 19.48.035 does allow for additional parking reductions for shared parking. As such the proposed 4 parking spaces may be deemed permissible, meeting the requirements.

View from 3
rd Street

P a g e | 4
As shown on the Site Plan (Sheet A0.1), the proposed parking for the project is located along the rear of the property along 3
rd Street. Two standard-sized stalls with a minimum of 9 ft. by 18 ft. dimensions, along with one accessible parking space, currently exist.

Building Frontage And Floor To Ceiling Height: Section 19.27.070 (Building Height) states “All commercial spaces on the ground floor shall have a minimum fifteen-foot floor-to-ceiling height; and single-story commercial buildings shall have a minimum building height of twenty feet.” The applicant has accomplished this requirement as shown on the Building Sections (Sheet A4.1).

The City’s Commercial Design Guidelines also ensure that street-level design promote active uses. With the coffee shop component of the project still continuing to serve this area, it provides an active use that has amenities such as a covered patio dining area and large window areas for viewing from the indoors. In this manner, Guidelines 5.1-5.4 are met.

Lighting: Various outdoor lighting options for the building, landscaping, and parking area are being proposed. As exhibited on the Night View Renderings (Attachment 2), minimal lighting spillage onto adjacent properties would result from the use of wall sconce lighting fixtures and low-level landscape lighting. Since the lighting for the parking area would only involve bollard/pedestrian lighting, the project would meet the requirements outlined in Section 19.48.170 (Lighting) which limits any light to fall on the same premises where the light source is located.

Landscaping: Total lot size is 7,340 square feet, with a building footprint of 3,268 square feet, and total on-site yard area of 4,072 square feet. A total of 1,105 square feet of on-site landscaping would be provided (15%) and would meet the requirement that at least 15% of the site shall be landscaped. This would include a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees such as “Hong Kong orchid tree” and “Crape Myrtle” and plants such as “Mexican birds of paradise” among “African boxwood” shrubs. This is not inclusive of the 656 square feet of existing landscaping within the public rightof-way along Silver Strand Boulevard that would remain as is, which is comprised of a combination of trees, plants, and decomposed granite paths.

Additionally, a landscape strip with a dimension of 5 ft. by 21 ft. lines the southernmost parking stall. This meets the requirements of Section 19.50.030 (Commercial Landscaping) where a “minimum three-foot by fifteen-foot, or forty-five square foot, landscaped area within the parking area (not including perimeter area landscaping) for every three parking spaces or the equivalent”.

Fencing: New perimeter fencing and a garage access gate are proposed. A new 6-foot wooden fence would be installed along the north boundary of the property, with a rolling gate placed between the parking area and garage, matching the design of the existing wooden fencing in this area.

GENERAL PLAN/ZONING CONSISTENCY:

The subject site is located in the C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed-Use) zone and is subject to review by the Design Review Board because the project is located along one of the eight design corridors in the City, Silver Strand Boulevard (IBMC 19.83.020(1)(c)). The purpose of this chapter is to improve the general standards of orderly development in the City through design review of individual buildings, structures, signs and their environs. The chapter is also intended to ensure the appearance of open spaces, buildings and structures visible from public streets has a material and substantial relationship to property values and the taxable value of property. The proposed project would provide commercial uses and retail/restaurant services, meeting the intent of the land use designation.

Zoning:

Standards Provided/Proposed
Yard requirements for the C/MU-2 zone
are as follows: For lots not fronting on
Seacoast Drive there are no front, side,
or rear yard setbacks in the C/MU-2
zone.

The project fronts Silver Strand Boulevard. The front
yard measured from the building to the property line
measures 20’ to 22’, allowing for creation of this area as an outdoor dining area.

The open space and landscaping
requirements as stated in Chapter

19.50 of this code shall be met.
15% of the site must be landscaped, and 15% of the
site proposes planted landscaping.

For property with a side or rear yard
abutting a residential zone, the second
floor shall be set back a minimum of five
feet from the abutting residential
property line and the third floor shall be
set back a minimum of ten feet from the
abutting residential property line.
(Section 19.26.041)
The property does not abut a residential zone.

Minimum lot size of 3,000 square-feet
(Section 19.26.050).

The lot size is 7,340 square feet. The creation of a
new lot is not proposed as part of the project.

Minimum street frontage of 30 feet
(Section 19.26.060).

The Silver Strand Boulevard frontage is
approximately 50 feet, and the 3rd Street frontage is
approximately 50 feet. The creation of a new lot is not proposed as part of the project.

Maximum building height of four stories
or 40 feet (Section 19.26.070).

The overall height of the building is 29’-5”, including the structure’s parapets.

All commercial spaces on the ground
floor shall have a minimum fifteen-foot
floor-to-ceiling height; and single-story
commercial buildings shall have a
minimum building height of twenty feet.
(Section 19.27.070).

The applicant proposes a 15-foot floor-to-ceiling
height throughout the public areas of the new
portions of the building, while the existing portions
would maintain the same height.

P a g e | 6
No buildings shall be located less than
five feet from any other building on the
same lot. (Section 19.26.080)
No other buildings are proposed on the same lot.

Required parking spaces for
commercial uses in the C/MU-2 Zone:
one space for each 1,000 gross square
feet of commercial space.

According to Section 19.48.035 of the IBMC
(Required Spaces for C/MU-2), one space per
thousand gross floor area of commercial use is
required (1 space/1,000 SF GFA). Thus, five (5)
required parking spaces are rendered. However, a
25-percent reduction for vertical mixed-use is
allowed for these uses with approval of a conditional
use permit.

Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:

Surrounding
Properties Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Land Use
North C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed-Use) Commercial South C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed-Use) Commercial East R-1-6000 (Single-Family Residential) Residential

Commercial Design Guidelines

1.0 Relationship of Buildings to Site
and Surrounding Area
The location of the subject site is within an existing
commercial zone (C/MU-2) with structures similar in
height and surrounding uses. Along Silver Strand
Boulevard, the existing coffee shop would remain in
place and continue to act as the front façade of the
business.

2.0 Circulation and Parking Parking for this use would be at the rear of the building along 3rd Street with landscaping planters alongside
the stalls.

3.0 Commercial and Mixed-Use
Development
The two-story expansion achieves architectural
interest by using various materials/finishes along with the integration of a mural at the side of the building.

4.0 Building Facades Should Be
Well Articulated
The proposed architectural design provides building
articulation in the form of a staggered second-story
that incorporates a variety of elements such as boxedin windows and vertical wooden cladding.

5.0 Ground Floor Uses and Street
Level Design
The project accomplishes this by providing mixeduse, ground floor retail/catering with second-story office use. Large window areas for the new portions
along the rear of the building are also being proposed
in keeping with the 60% non-reflective glass guideline.

P a g e | 7

6.0 Landscape Improvements and
Open Space
A significant amount of required landscaping is being
met within the existing landscaping at the right-of-way in addition to the new landscape planters, trees, and
bushes.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS:

The project is subject to design review by the Design Review Board because the project is located along one of the eight design corridors in the City, Silver Strand Boulevard (IBMC

19.83.020(1)(c)). The Design Review Board reviewed the project on May 15, 2025, and voted 4- 1 to recommend the following design revisions:
 Taller trees to provide shade and screening on the north side of the project and the east side (if possible, on the east).
 Cement wheel stops for the parking spaces.
 Paint the existing structure to match the proposed structure.  Continue the scoring pattern from the proposed building to the existing building.  Prepare a mock-up of the mural prior to installation or have an alternate (solid or simpler design) implementing different textures and colors. Have the City Council make the decision on having a mural or deleting it. A Design Review Board member had concerns about the location of the mural making the general look busy/overwhelming.  Clarify for the City Council the number of food trucks and the duration of time that they will be on site as part of the approval.
 Have a CMU (or masonry/block) wall at the northern boundary, rather than a wooden fence.
 Instead of Peppermint Willows go for a more vertical evergreen tree.  Instead of Purple Hopseed Bush, choose a less invasive species.  Provide screening/planting at the trash enclosure in the form of a planter.  Select an alternative to strawberry trees that is not of the fruit variety.  Delete the parking comment on Sheet A0.1 (Site Plan) because any information referring to “off-site” parking is no longer pertinent to the CUP.  The drains on Sheet A0.1 (Site Plan) should be placed on the landscape plan.

The applicant carefully considered the Design Review Board’s recommendations and implemented necessary changes to the proposed project's design where feasible. Notable changes include alternate selections of plant/tree species to avoid interference with utility high wires and minimize fallen debris.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (IBMC § 19.82.040):

8. That the proposed use is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or community; The General Plan/Local Coastal Plan designates the site as C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & Mixed Use) Zone, to provide land to meet the demand for goods and services required primarily by the tourist population, as well as local residents who use the beach area. It is intended that the dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU2 zone will be visitor-serving retail such as specialty stores, surf shops, restaurants, and hotels and motels. The development standards of the C/MU-2 Zone encourage pedestrian activity through the design and location of building frontages and parking provisions.

The project would provide a ground-floor commercial tenant space and second-story office use. The businesses would service residents and the tourist population, contributing to the general well-being of the neighborhood and community and meeting the intent of the land use designation.

9. That the use will not, under the circumstances of the particular use, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity; The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public, as there will be no hazardous materials, fumes, or operations at the facility, nor will there be any noxious odors, loud noises, or excessive traffic generated at the site. The proposed use is compatible with other uses in the neighborhood and would function similarly as other nearby uses.

Additionally, conditions of approval have been provided within this Resolution to ensure that the use and site would be properly managed and maintained.

10. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this title for the use and for other permitted uses in the same zone; and Vertical mixed-use buildings with a ground floor commercial space with second-floor office above are permitted uses in the C/MU-2 Zone. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning for this area and will comply with all of the regulations and conditions for these uses. The applicable findings and conditions of approval have been included with the Resolution to ensure compliance with the use and other permitted uses in the vicinity.

With approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), the project will meet the parking requirements in Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) Section 19.48.035. Under this section, commercial uses in the C/MU-2 zone require one parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (GFA). For the proposed 4,552 SF of commercial space, this results in five (5) required parking spaces. However, the IBMC allows a 25% reduction in required parking for vertical mixed-use projects with a CUP. Applying this reduction, the project’s requirement is reduced from 5 spaces to 4 spaces. The proposed mixed-use building provides 4 parking spaces, meeting this requirement. The project is intended to enhance the pedestrian corridor and provide active commercial uses. The applicant carefully considered alternative site designs and was not able to provide a feasible method of providing off-street parking in addition to accommodating the proposed layout with ground floor commercial space.

Applicable conditions of approval for the project have been included with the Resolution to further ensure compatibility with the vicinity, which includes the ability for the

Resolution No. 2025-045

Community Development Director to modify conditions if necessity warrants. As such, the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this title for the use and for other permitted uses in the same zone.

11. That the granting of the conditional use permit will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning code, the adopted General Plan and the adopted Local Coastal Program.

Vertical mixed-use buildings with ground floor commercial space and second-floor offices are permitted uses in the C/MU-2 Zone. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning for this area and will comply with all of the regulations and conditions for these uses. The applicable findings and conditions of approval have been included with the Resolution to ensure compliance with the use and other permitted uses in the vicinity.

With approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), the project will meet the parking requirements in Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) Section 19.48.035. Under this section, commercial uses in the C/MU-2 zone require one parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (GFA). For the proposed 4,552 SF of commercial space, this results in five (5) required parking spaces. However, the IBMC allows a 25% reduction in required parking for vertical mixed-use projects with a CUP. Applying this reduction, the project’s requirement is reduced from 5 spaces to 4 spaces. The proposed mixed-use building provides 4 parking spaces, one of which is a garage space tandem with an open parking space. Parking spaces typically require unrestricted ingress and egress; however, IBMC 19.48.035 does allow for additional parking reductions for shared parking. As such the proposed 4 parking spaces may be deemed permissible, meeting the requirements.

The project would provide a ground-floor commercial tenant space at the eastern portion and commercial ground-floor with second-story office use. The businesses would service residents and the tourist population, contributing to the general well-being of the neighborhood and community and meeting the intent of the land use designation.

Applicable conditions of approval for the project have been included with the Resolution to further ensure compatibility with the vicinity, which includes the ability for the Community Development Director to modify conditions if necessity warrants.

12. The proposed use does not have any detrimental effect upon the general health, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or is not detrimental or injurious to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood.

The project will provide a commercial mixed-use development that will include existing and new general commercial use with second-floor office uses to residents of the City of Imperial Beach. The project would not have a detrimental effect on the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood because it is consistent with the development standards and zoning designation of the site. The development would not be injurious to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because it represents an improvement of the existing conditions of the property. This could improve property values and stimulate growth in the area.
