Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of of the City Council June 18, 2024
CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2024 -,

APPROVING MINOR MODIFICATION S TO THE ADOPTED

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS (ODS) AS REQUESTED BY CITY
COUNCIL AT ITS MARCH 19, 2024, MEETING . THE MODIFICATIONS PERTAIN TO WINDOW PLACEMENT AND AWNING MATERIALS.

THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PER SEC. 15378 OF THE CEQA
GUIDELINES.

REQUEST: It is requested that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting Resolution No. 2024-, approving the minor modifications to the adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS) as described in EXHIBIT A
BACKGROUND:

On March 19, 2024, the City Council adopted the ODS and related Marina Municipal Code (MMC) and General Plan amendments necessary to implement the standards for qualifying projects. At this meeting, Council members requested that staff and the consultant consider modifying Section 1.3.1 pertaining to Site Design and, specifically, window placement offsets to improve privacy in cases where residential developments have no or very minimal setbacks from neighboring residential development. The Council also requested that fabric awnings be removed as an allowed material in Sec. 1.3.2.K.7. The Memo prepared by the City’s ODS consultant, Raimi+Associates (R+A), dated May 24, 2024, is included as Exhibit A to the Resolution and describes how these proposed modifications were addressed in further detail.

ANALYSIS:

In brief, the R+A Memo:

1. Amends Sec. 1.3.1.A.2 to reference a modified Figure 4 and a new Figure 5 which specify window placement standards for upper stories between 5 and 10’ of a property line and less than 5’ of a property line, respectively;

2. The Memo notes that a <5’ setback is not allowed in the MMC except for possibly as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD);

3. The amended and new figures assume these horizontal offsets only for upper floors as a 6’ fence is allowed separating properties and typically blocking views to neighbor windows from the ground floor;

4. The Memo provides an amendment to Sec. 1.3.2.K.7.e suggesting that heavy canvas be allowed as an affordable option, but that fabric awnings be eliminated as an allowed awning material; and

5. These changes do not require amendments to either the MMC or the General Plan.

CONCLUSION:

Staff requests that the Council adopt the proposed Resolution and direct staff to make the changes to the final ODS . Staff notes that there is no further budget available for this contract and that additional changes or amendments to the ODS will require a contract amendment and additional budget.

WHEREAS, the City of Marina (City) adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS) on March 19, 2024, but requested that staff return with a modification to the window placement offsets section (Sec. 1.3.1.A.2) and remove fabric as an allowed awning material from Sec. 1.3.2.K.7 of the ODS;
WHEREAS, staff and the City’s consultant, Raimi+Associates (R+A) considered these requests and provide solutions in the Memo dated May 24, 2024, and included herein as Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, adoption of these minor modifications to the ODS do not trigger amendments to either the Marina Municipal Code (MMC) or the General Plan and will not result in a significant negative impact to the environment. Therefore, this action is exempt from environmental review per Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby:

Potential Modifications to the Objective Design Standards document At the City Council hearing for the Objective Design Standards on March 19, 2024, the City Council directed City staff and the consultant team to examine the privacy issue that emerges when buildings are located very close to or at the property line. Following the hearing, City staff was also asked to make modifications related to awning materials. Both these topics are discussed in this memo.

Privacy Concerns when Buildings are Located Close to or at the Property Line Section 1.3.1.A.2 in the Objective Design Standards document addresses the topic of Window Placement. The minimum side setback for residential zones is 5 feet and this standard requires a 3-foot offset between windows if a building is placed within 10 feet of the property line. (See Figure 4 in the ODS).

While zero-setback buildings are not permitted by right in the city except possibly as a part of a Planned Development permit, the following modifications are recommended to address privacy concerns when buildings are located close to or at the property line.

The following page illustrates the recommended changes:

1.3 Multi -Family Residentia l and Residentia l Mixed- Use (3+ stories) This section applies to attached multi-family building types three stories and higher, including courtyard housing, low-rise and mid-rise multi-family stacked dwellings, and both horizontal and vertical mixed-use developments (residential units stacked above ground-floor commercial).

1.3.1 Site Design
A. Neighborhood Transitions and Privacy.

1. Transition to Lower Density Building Types. When a building has a rear and/or interior side property line abutting a single-family residential zoned parcel, starting above the third floor, each subsequent floor shall be stepped back by 15 feet for every two floors.

Figure 3
. Transitions to Lower Density Building Types

2. Window Pl
acement. When a new building is located within 10 feet of a side property line, windows on the building shall be oriented to avoid a direct line of sight into adjacent residential buildings or property. Windows shall be offset a minimum of three feet horizontally from windows of the nearest residential building on the adjacent property to maximize privacy. (See Figure 4). If a new building is located within five feet of a side property line, windows shall be offset a minimum of five feet horizontally from windows of the nearest residential building on the adjacent property to maximize privacy. (See Figure 5). This requirement is waived if the window i s to a non-habitable room such as a bathroom or closet and has frosted or privacy glass.

Awning Materials
Section 1.3.2.K.7 in the Objective Design Standards document addresses the topic of materials for awnings and canopies. The concern raised was regarding how long these awnings last.

Acrylic is a synthetic material that is moisture-wicking and water-repellant. These are also long- lasting. However, acrylic awnings can cost up to ten times the cost of canvas awnings.

Canvas awnings typically last 8-12 years, with heavier-weight canvas awnings lasting longer and weathering wind, snow, and hail. Ongoing maintenance is necessary to keep canvas awnings looking good. We suggest continuing to allow canvas awnings to provide a lower-cost option for Marina business owners.

The following text illustrates the recommended changes:

1.3.2 Building Design
K. Ground Floor Design – Retail/Commercial

7. Awnings and Canopies.
e. Awnings and canopies shall be make made of fabric, canvas, acrylic, glass, wood (synthetic or weather treated), metal, or a combination of such materials. Fabric, vVinyl and plastic awnings are prohibited.

Mayor and Members of the City Council Meeting
City Council of June 18, 2024

CITY COUNCIL TO RECEIVE AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON THE
MOBILE VENDING ORDINANCE. THE UPDATE IS NOT A PROJECT
UNDER CEQA PER SECTION 15378 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES.

REQUEST:

That the City Council receive a brief informational update on the status of the Mobile Vending Ordinance adopted on December 5, 2023. No action is required at this time.

BACKGROUND:

On September 28, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2023 -18 recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance to codify regulations for mobile food vending and sidewalk vending. On December 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023 -15 to the Marina Municipal Code (MMC) adding Chapter 10.46 1 – Mobile Food Vending and Sidewalk Vending to Title 10 of the MMC.

UPDATE:

Applications for New Licenses. After adoption of the ordinance, staff sent an email to each of the 70± food businesses with active business licenses to let them know this service was now available. Even with this outreach , the City has not received any applications for a Mobile Food or Sidewalk Vending license and very few inquiries. Staff will continue to provide outreach through direct contact and social media.

Sidewalk Vending Enforcement. There are, from time to time, unlicensed sidewalk vendors operating in parking lots and on sidewalks throughout the City. They are contacted by our Code Enforcement Officer , who is bilingual in Spanish and English, and notified that both a City business license and a sidewalk vending license are required for them to operate, but none have endeavored to obtain the required license. When contacted, they typically pack up and leave that location only to relocate somewhere else. Per the Code, unlicensed operators are subject to enforcement under MMC Chapters 1.08, 1.10 and 1.12. Our code enforcement officer provides each sidewalk vendor with a handout in English and Spanish with a QR code link to the City’s website.23 The Community Development Department (CDD) has not received any complaints from residents or store management (including Walmart) about sidewalk vending.

As a result of not having issued any licenses, there is no update on the specific items that the Council stated that it would like to track at its December 2023 approval hearing:
- Require mobile vendors to put a “No Smoking Sign” on their trucks - Notify all brick-and-mortar restaurants of this new ordinance (done) - Monitor if there is an over concentration of the vendors in one section of the community - Conduct outreach to interested vendors (ongoing through web/social media posts) - Examine impact of regulations on brick and mortar businesses - Allow mobile vendors in the south park area of the Dunes 1 https://marina.municipal.codes/Code/10.46
2 https://www.cityofmarina.org/DocumentCenter/View/14476/Sidewalk-Vendor-Application?bidId= 3 https://www.cityofmarina.org/DocumentCenter/View/14477/Sidewalk-Vendor-Application---Spanish---05-14- 2024?bidId=
1 Restrictions/Constraints in Ordinance Inhibiting Applications . Council members have expressed a concern that the ordinance may be too complicated or burdensome for applicants. As staff have not received inquiries from potential applicants, it is difficult to gauge whether or not this is an issue. The food service licensing through the County is very complicated and is likely more of a burden to prospective mobile food vendors. The City’s ordinance is very similar to the City of Monterey’s and staff considered several other jurisdictions’ ordinances. The City’s application to locate within the public road right -of-way is inexpensive and simple, but all require several food safety and service license from the County’s Environmental Health, Consumer Health Protection Division4.

CONCLUSION:

Staff will continue to advertise on the City’s website , social media, and other available platforms that mobile food vending is allowed in the City of Marina and monitor establishments for the items of interest above.
