ITEM TITLE: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-090 PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE SECTION 22050 FINDING THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SEWER PUMPS AT PUMP STATION NO. 8. (0830- 35)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Pump Station 8 (PS8) is a wet/dry well facility over 60 years old that has experienced ongoing pump issues in recent years. Staff worked with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to develop plans and specifications for a comprehensive rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing, and electrical upgrades. The design is complete and the project went out for bid. Four bids were received on May 28, 2026. At the June 17, 2026 City Council meeting, Jennette Company, Inc. was awarded a construction contract for the Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation Project.

PS8 contains three identical pumps, with two typically alternating workloads and the third serving as a standby for emergencies. In early October 2025, two pumps failed, and on Saturday, October 11, 2025, the last remaining working pump failed. These pumps are obsolete, and no replacement parts or compatible pumps are available. As a result, the station was gravity bypassing to Pump Station 9 (PS9), which was putting excessive strain on that pump station. A few weeks later, staff was able to procure and install one (1) new pump at PS8 as an interim condition to avoid flows being redirected to PS9. Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to ensure the City has a reliable sewer system.

Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050. The Council approved the initial emergency resolution on October 15, 2025. This report is to follow-up on actions taken and to request the extension of the emergency pursuant to State law.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-090 to continue the existence of the emergency and ratify actions taken in furtherance of the emergency.

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution No. 2026-090;
 Provide other direction to the City Manager to take a specific action; or

 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City of Imperial Beach operates and maintains eleven sanitary pump stations that collect and relay sanitary flows to varying locations in the City’s collection system for ultimate conveyance to the City of San Diego METRO system. The sanitary pump stations are of varying styles and include various types of pumps. Pump Station 8 (PS8), located at 895 Imperial Beach Blvd., adjacent to the Imperial Beach Fire Station, is one of two major pump stations (Pump Station 9 being the other) used by the City of Imperial Beach to convey collected sanitary flows directly to the METRO system (eventually entering the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment) operated by the City of San Diego.

PS8 is a wet/dry well facility that is over 60 years old. It has had ongoing pump issues over the past few years. Staff worked with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to put together plans and specifications for an overall rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing, and electrical upgrades. A solicitation requesting bids was published on April 30, 2026, with bids due May 28, 2026. The City received four bids. At the June 17, 2026 City Council meeting, Jennette Company, Inc. was awarded a construction contract for the Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation Project.

PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.

The third pump is for emergency purposes only. In early October, two pumps failed, and on October 11, 2025, the last remaining working pump failed. The three pumps at PS8 are obsolete, and no parts or replacement pumps are available. The station was gravity bypassing to PS9, which was putting excessive strain on that pump station. A few weeks later, staff was able to procure and install one (1) new pump at PS8 as an interim condition to avoid flows being redirected to PS9. Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to ensure the City has a reliable sewer system. In the event of a power loss or failure of the pumps, staff has emergency generators and/or portable pumps that could be installed to keep the pump stations operational.

Pump Station 8 Construction Project has an approved budget of $1,500,000 for FY26 in the current Biennial FY26 & FY27 City of Imperial Beach budget. Funds were appropriated from the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

IBMC section 3.04.120A allows for competitive bidding to be dispensed with when the City Manager determines that an emergency requires an order to be placed with the nearest available source of supply in order to mitigate the threat to public health and safety.

The City Manager, acting pursuant IBMC section 3.04.120A, may determine the existence of a local emergency based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by the pump station failure.

Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050. Such resolution was approved at the October 15, 2025, special Council meeting. Between November 2025 and September 2026, the City Council held meetings on several dates to pass resolutions extending the ongoing emergency. The meetings included:
 November 5, 2025
 November 19, 2025
 December 3, 2025

 September 2, 2026
Each listed date corresponds to a meeting when an extension resolution was passed.

If such expenditure is ordered, the City Council shall review the emergency action at each regular meeting, to determine if there is a need to continue the action.

Pump Station 8’s failure constitutes an emergency within the terms of Public Contract Code Sections 20168 and 22050, which requires that the City Manager be able to act quickly and without complying with the notice and bidding procedures of the Public Contract Code to repair and protect such public facilities.

Since the last Council meeting on September 2, 2026, there has not been any new work performed at PS8.

Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 2026-090 to continue the emergency and ratify the expenditures and contracts made thus far in furtherance of the emergency.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2026-091 CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE

OF LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO IMPACTS FROM CROSS-BORDER POLLUTION IN THE TIJUANA RIVER. (0150-40 & 0210-26)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Environmental & Natural Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This resolution maintains the City's declaration of a local state of emergency caused by the effects of cross-border pollution originating from the Tijuana River, including both treated and untreated wastewater. Due to contaminated flows in the river, the stretch of Imperial Beach shoreline between the southern end of Seacoast Drive and the border remains severely impacted, with closures lasting all of 2026 to date, 365 days in 2025, 365 days in 2024, 365 days in 2023, 365 days in 2022, 246 days in 2021, 295 days in 2020, 245 days in 2019, and 101 days in 2018. The persistent impacts of these flows continue to affect the Tijuana River Valley, Estuary, beach water quality, and present an emerging threat to air quality that is currently being monitored and studied by the County Air Pollution Control District and Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

The City requires a local state of emergency to enable it to respond to the unpredictable conditions in the Tijuana River, which pose risks to the health, safety, and welfare of Imperial Beach residents, visitors, and the environment. Unless a continuing resolution is passed, declarations of a state of local emergency will expire within 60 days.

RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution and recommendation from staff;
 Reject Resolution; or
 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The presence of cross-border pollution in the Tijuana River, combined with the lack of action from federal and state agencies to address this issue, constitutes compelling evidence for the declaration of a local state of emergency within the City. The pollution in the river poses a serious threat to the health and safety of citizens and wildlife in the City of Imperial Beach, with particularly acute effects during and after rain events or illegal discharge events. This pollution has a severe

Page 39 of 158 ends

P a g e | 2
impact on the surrounding ecosystem, leading to poor water quality that can persist for days, months, or even years. Furthermore, pollution has a significant impact on recreational activities along the Imperial Beach shoreline, with beach closures causing disruption to residents and visitors alike.

Given these circumstances, the City of Imperial Beach along with the City of Chula Vista, City of Coronado, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, Port of San Diego, South Bay Union School District, Sweetwater Union High School District of San Diego County have issued a state of local emergency resolution for the Tijuana River, which allows for flexible responses to changing conditions. The City Council has the authority to issue a local state of emergency, which would last for 60 days or until the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting unless renewed by a continuing resolution. This declaration would enable the City to take swift and effective action to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all those affected by the pollution in the Tijuana River.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

With a population exceeding 26,000 residents and a variety of destinations that attract more than 400,000 visitors annually, the City of Imperial Beach experiences high volumes of multimodal travel that increase exposure to traffic safety risks. Daily interactions among pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit users particularly near major activity centers and transit corridors underscore the need for targeted traffic safety interventions. The nearby Palm Avenue Station serves as a regional hub for the MTS Blue Line Trolley, and the city is also served by bus routes 901, 933, 934, and Rapid Route 227, further contributing to multimodal travel demand.

The City of Imperial Beach has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving roadway safety through the implementation of state-of-the-art bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, including the Bayshore Bikeway, the Bikeway Village development, and the Border to Bayshore Bikeway Project. As of early 2026, the City of Imperial Beach has committed to vast improvements to major corridors such as Palm Avenue, 9th Street and 13th Street. To complement these infrastructure investments, increased public awareness, traffic safety education, and community-based outreach are essential to reducing bicycle- and pedestrian-related crashes and advancing OTS traffic safety goals related to safe behaviors, injury prevention, and fatalities reduction.

This proposed program will prioritize proven, data-driven strategies such as education and community engagement to improve safety outcomes for all road users, with an emphasis on vulnerable road users in high-risk locations.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

Traffic crash data demonstrates that a significant number of pedestrians and bicyclists are hit by drivers and injured or killed each year, and the City of Imperial Beach has experienced an unfortunate number of these incidents. In 2024, Imperial Beach had an increase in the number of crashes resulting in pedestrian or bicyclist injuries with 20 victims, which is a 150% increase compared to 8 victims in 2023. The City of Imperial Beach had two fatal crashes involving pedestrians in 2024. In response to this increase in pedestrian and bicycle crashes, the City of Imperial Beach will conduct regular safety education and encouragement events and reinforce positive behaviors to make sure the environment is safe for our most vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders, and transit riders.

Between 2022 and 2025, there were 46 crashes resulting in injury or death for pedestrians and bicyclists within the City of Imperial Beach. Due to these crashes, 24 pedestrians and 22 bicyclists were injured.

Additionally, it is pertinent to note that of these crash victims, 10 were over the age of 55 and14 were age 15 or younger (55% overall). Routes with numerous crashes include Palm Avenue (12), Imperial Beach Boulevard (9), Elm Avenue (6), 13th Street (5), 9th Street (5), 12th Street (1), and Seacoast Drive (1).

The City of Imperial Beach is committed to making every effort possible to improve the safety of multimodal traffic interactions in and around the city. We will reach out to underserved populations and vulnerable road users to get them engaged with our safety education events and ultimately improve multimodal traffic safety.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The City of Imperial Beach has a Hispanic majority population (51%). It is one of the closest communities to the San Diego International Border and plays a leadership role in holding government and industry accountable. Imperial Beach is deeply committed to ensuring access to traffic safety for all its residents, increasing transportation choice and addressing mobility. City staff are actively undertaking engineering and education efforts to ensure that all residents have access to safe roads and transportation options.

Statistically, communities that have open space and recreational opportunities and safe multimodal transportation options will experience better health outcomes. The City of Imperial Beach General Plan sets a goal to become a city with safe, efficient, and complete streets that meet the needs of all users. At the core of the proposed scope of work for this project, the activities are intended to support increased mobility and DRAFT

transportation access. All proposed messaging and programming provided under this program would help to ensure that users of the public right-of-way, regardless of mode, are aware of their responsibility in creating a safer transportation network for all.

Particular efforts will be made to reach priority communities, older adults, and children under the age of 15.

Safety equipment can be prohibitively expensive for some. This program will implement a Citywide Safety and Wayfinding Messaging campaign, Walking Field Trips, and Bike Anywhere Day and other outreach activities at local schools, recreation centers, and community events. Through these activities, trained personnel will provide hands-on instruction by educating vulnerable road users about safe riding skills, traffic awareness, and helmet safety, while also properly fitting and distributing the helmets and pedestrian and bicycle reflective items to those who need them. Targeting these vulnerable road users aligns with the identified high injury ranking for incidents in these groups and allows for education in safe traffic behaviors.

> Bike Anywhere Day Pop-Up Events - Bike Anywhere Day is a region-wide event that takes place during National Bike Month (May) to celebrate biking for transportation, recreation, and leisure. Each year, more than 7,500 students, families, commuters, and bike enthusiasts pedal across San Diego County to 100 pit stops from Oceanside to Tijuana. The Bike Anywhere Day event demonstrates the region’s dedication to active transportation and a healthier, safer San Diego. In the weeks of April and May leading up to Bike Anywhere Day (typically the third week of May), the project team will pop-up at two (2) locations in the City of Imperial Beach to advertise the event. The Bike Anywhere Pit-Stop will be hosted at a central location adjacent to heavily trafficked bicycle routes, and will include expanded opportunities for play, art, and education. The nonprofit partner will provide materials such as temporary parklets, a remote-controlled traffic calming course, and informational boards to showcase how our streets can be repurposed to support safe active transportation. Costs associated with this deliverable include staff time, content development, graphic design of any printed materials, permit preparation and fees, printing fees, and any other supplies and equipment that might be necessary to support the activities. The nonprofit organization will identify a number of potential high foot and bike traffic areas to help inform where the preferred locations are to maximize participation. All developed content will include OTS branding.

Revision 1 - Adding breakdown of costs associated with executed contract in new line items. > Citywide Safety Messaging Campaign - Identify locations citywide where informational messaging about safety, good user behavior, wayfinding, and sharing the road can be sited.

6. That where the Recipient receives Federal financial assistance in the form of, or for the acquisition of, real property or an interest in real property, the Assurance will extend to rights to space on, over, or under such property.

7. That the Recipient will include the clauses set forth in appendix C and appendix D of this DOT Order 1050.2A, as a covenant running with the land, in any future deeds, leases, licenses, permits, or similar instruments entered into by the Recipient with other parties:

b. the period during which the Recipient retains ownership or possession of the property.

9. The Recipient will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the Secretary of Transportation or the official to whom he/she delegates specific authority to give reasonable guarantee that it, other recipients, sub-recipients, sub- grantees, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants of Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all requirements imposed or pursuant to the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

10. The Recipient agrees that the United States has a right to seek judicial enforcement with regard to any matter arising under the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2026-093 ADOPTING, AFFIRMING, & INCORPORATING THE STANDARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROVISIONS OF 2 CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS SECTION 18730 & AFFIRMING NO CHANGES TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE PURSUANT TO BIENNIAL REVIEW. (0420-95)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

City Clerk
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Political Reform Act, local agencies are required to review their Conflict of Interest Codes biennially to determine whether amendments or updates are necessary. Upon review, it has been determined that the City’s current Conflict of Interest Code of Designated Positions and corresponding Disclosure Categories does not require any amendments or updates.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-093 affirming that there are no changes to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.

OPTIONS:
 Adopt resolution
 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires that local agencies adopt a Conflict of Interest Code and review it biennially (Government Code §87306.5) for amendments and updates. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700).

The City's Conflict of Interest Code is divided into three areas (Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2026-093): Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18730; a list of designated City positions that must file Form 700s annually; and a list of disclosure categories that apply to each designated position. The list of designated City positions in the City’s Conflict of Interest Code includes employees, officers, and consultants who make or participate in making governmental decisions that could affect their private

Page 85 of 158 ends

P a g e | 2
financial interest. Those in the list of designated City positions must disclose those interests by filing a Form 700 and exclude themselves from participating in the governmental decisions affecting those interests.

Since the City’s adoption of its first Conflict of Interest Code in 1974, City staff continues to review it for accuracy and updates it as necessary. The current Conflict of Interest Code has been reviewed, and no update is necessary, as there are no new positions within the organization that need to be designated to file a Form 700.

Accordingly, the proposed resolution will affirm that there are no changes to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code “Designated Positions” and corresponding “Disclosure Categories.” The resolution will also provide that, if the Fair Political Practices Commission’s Regulation 18730 is amended, the City’s Conflict of Interest Code will automatically incorporate those amendments.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact associated with this action.

Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference.

ITEM TITLE: EL TAPATIO CATERING SEEKS APPROVAL OF A TIME EXTENSION FOR USE PERMIT NO. 23-0045, TO CONSTRUCT A TWO-STORY ADDITION TO AN EXISTING BUILDING LOCATED AT 667 SILVER STRAND BLVD, AND A CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION. (0600-20) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

El Tapatio Catering (“Applicant”) has requested a six (6)-month time extension for Use Permit No. 23-0045, which authorized the construction of a two-story addition to an existing commercial building located at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard in the C/MU-2 (Seacoast Commercial & MixedUse) zone (“Project”). The City Council previously approved the Project on September 3, 2025, pursuant to Resolution No. 2025-045 which is set to expire at the end of business on September 18, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 2026-089, approving a six (6)-month time extension for Conditional Use Permit No. CUP-25-0003, Regular Coastal Permit No. CP-23-0001, Design Review Case No. DRC-23-0008, Site Plan Review No. SPR-23-0008, and a categorical exemption pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32 – In-Fill Development Projects) for the construction of a two-story addition to an existing commercial building at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard (APN: 625-024-12-00) in the C/MU-2 zone, subject to the conditions as specified in the resolution (Attachment 1 to the staff report).

OPTIONS:

In addition to reviewing this report and adopting staff recommendations, the City Council can:
 Adopt Resolution No. 2026-089, approving a six (6) month extension; or  Deny the time extension request; or
 Continue the public hearing to a specific future meeting to allow staff to provide additional information upon which a decision can be made.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

On September 3, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-045, authorizing the construction of a two-story addition to an existing commercial building at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard. Approval of the Project is set to expire at the end of business day on September 18, 2026, unless vested through substantial construction or an extension is granted.

Page 95 of 158 ends

P a g e | 2
On July 18, 2026, the Applicant requested a six (6)-month extension of the Project approvals due to unforeseeable circumstances (Attachment 2). This is the first extension request for the Project.

The original Project approval will remain in effect until the City Council has acted on the extension request. There have been no changes to the applicable zoning regulations, and no changes to the Project design have been identified that would conflict with the current development regulations. The original Project analysis is available for review in the staff report, dated September 3, 2025 (Attachment 3).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The Project has been reviewed for compliance with CEQA, and it has been determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 32 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Applicant paid a developer deposit of $7,500.00 for processing of the initial application. The Applicant has sufficient funds remaining in the developer deposit to process the extension request.

Subject: Request for Extension of Development Approvals – 667 Silver Strand Boulevard (USE-23- 0045)
Dear Community Development Director,
I respectfully request an extension of the development approvals for the project located at 667 Silver Strand Boulevard, Imperial Beach, CA, including the Conditional Use Permit (CUP-25-0003), Site Plan Review (SPR-23-0008), Design Review Case (DRC-23-0008), and Regular Coastal Permit (CP-23-0001), approved by City Council under Resolution No. 2025-045.

We remain fully committed to completing this project and appreciate the City's support throughout the approval process. Since receiving approval, we have continued working diligently toward construction, including coordinating with our design professionals, preparing construction documents, and meeting the requirements necessary to obtain building permits.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, additional time is needed before construction can begin. An extension of the approvals will allow us to complete the remaining pre-construction requirements and move forward with the project as approved.

We respectfully request your consideration and approval of this extension. If any additional information or documentation is needed, please let us know. We appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to continuing to work with the City.

Sincerely,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. In addition, the applicant is incorporating wheel stops for the ADA parking space for added safety and has removed the formerly proposed mural.

In instances where the Design Review Board's recommendations were deemed cost-prohibitive, the applicant has indicated as such in their response letter dated July 11, 2025 (Attachment 4).

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:

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. The applicant is requesting a parking reduction by one parking space.

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.

DESIGN REVIEW/ SITE PLAN REVIEW ( IBMC § 19. 81. 060):

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.

13. The proposed use does not adversely affect the General Plan or the Local Coastal Plan.

The proposed use does not adversely affect the General Plan/ Local Coastal Plan because the site is designated as C/ MU- 2 ( Seacoast Commercial & Mixed Use) Zone, providing for the development of businesses to meet the local demand for commercial goods and services, including retail/ restaurant uses. The project site is located in an appealable coastal zone and complies with the land use designation of the General Plan/ Local Coastal Plan.

14. The proposed use is compatible with other existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood.

The site is bordered by commercially zoned properties to the north and south.

Residences are located to the east and west. The mixed- use building, inclusive of a coffee shop and catering kitchen, is compatible with other existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood because it complies with the development standards and zoning designation and would provide products and services that would serve the community.

15. The location, site layout and design of the proposed use orients the proposed structures to streets, driveways, sunlight, wind and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner.

The proposed mixed-use building, which includes a coffee shop and catering kitchen, is designed to provide convenient access within the commercial site while remaining compatible with surrounding buildings and neighborhood uses. The development faces the eastern and western property lines, with Silver Strand Boulevard ( 50 feet wide) and Third Street ( 40 feet wide) serving as buffers that separate nearby residential areas from the new commercial use.

16. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on the site is properly integrated.

The proposed project would be properly integrated within a compatible commercial center. The design style and the choice of building materials properly integrate the twostory commercial mixed- use building within the commercial site.

17. Access to and parking for the proposed use does not create any undue traffic problem.

Vehicular access to the site would be provided from Third Street for the catering kitchen and from Silver Strand Boulevard for the coffee shop.

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.

18. All other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code are complied with.

The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning development standards for the site.

19. Any other considerations as the Community Development Department deem necessary to preserve the health, safety and convenience of the City in general.
