PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.D

SUBJECT/TITLE:

ANNUAL PUBLIC REPORT ON DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Receive the Annual Public Report on Development Impact Fees for Fiscal Year 2023;

2. Adopt a Resolution approving the Annual Public Report on Development Impact Fees for Fiscal Year 2023.

BACKGROUND:

Pismo Beach Municipal Code Chapter 15.10 provides for the establishment of development impact fees under the laws of the State of California. Government Code Section 66000–66025, the "Mitigation Fee Act," provides the legal requirements for enactment of a development impact fee program. Per Government Code Section 66006(b), the City is required to keep track of each separate account or fund established for the development impact fee and to provide an Annual Public Report within 180 days of the last day of each fiscal year (FY).

Impact Fees are updated annually, based on the California Department of General Services California Construction Cost Index (CCCI), a Caltrans index for traffic-related fees, and 5.0% for State Water fees. The CCCI rate effective January 1, 2023 was 7.82% which applies to all projects except Traffic and Circulation and State Water Fees; the Caltrans index rate was 65.03% which applies to all Traffic and Circulation Projects; and the rate of 5.0% for State Water Fees applies to State Water Impact Fees. Regarding the

65.03% Caltrans index rate, this rate varies based on the types and costs of Caltrans construction projects for the past year. Last year’s Caltrans index rate was -17.97%.

In FY 2023, the City collected $737,998 of various impact fees. This is compared to $1,412,691 of impact fees collected in FY 2022, a decrease of 47.76%. The amount collected each year depends on the timing and impact of various developments throughout the city. Table 1 summarizes the total impact fees collected in FY 2023 compared to FY 2022.

Council Agenda 12-5-2023 9.D-7
Attachment 1.A
Packet Page 38

4 WASTEWATER SYSTEM PROJECTS
Impact fees for wastewater system improvements, including both the treatment plant and the collection system are based on improvement needs and costs identified for future development.

WATER SYSTEM PROJECTS

1. Impact Fees for City Water System Storage and Distribution Improvements The impact fees for City Water system storage and distribution improvements calculated are based on improvement needs and costs identified for future development.

2. State Water Supply
The impact fees for Water also include a share of the cost of the State Water supply provided by the State Water Project extension, which has been completed, but still has the capacity to serve additional development. The State Water Supply project fees include accrued interest on bonds used to finance construction.

3. Recycled Water Facility
Estimated cost of the project is $29,708,000. On April 21, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2015-031 directing staff to proceed with the recycled water project alternative known as Full Advanced Treatment with Direct Ground Water Recharge Inland Injection (hereinafter referred to as "Recycled Water Facility") to produce sustainable, reliable, long-term, drought-resistant water supply for the City of Pismo Beach. The Recycled Water Facility includes a process to annually transport 930 acre feet of fully advanced treated wastewater to well injection sites and inject it into the ground water basin.

FIRE PROTECTION FACILITIES
The Fire Protection Facilities Impact Fees are assessed on new residential and commercial development to pay for its proportionate share of land, equipment, and construction costs for existing and new fire stations that will be needed to provide adequate fire protection and emergency services for new development.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT/ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITIES
Impact Fees for administrative facilities assume that the existing City Hall Building is at capacity and additional space will be needed as the City continues to grow. Service population is used as the measure of development impacts for administrative facilities, and the existing ratio of building area to service population is used to project future expansion needs.

POLICE PROTECTION FACILITIES
The Police Protection Facilities Impact Fees are assessed on new residential and commercial development to pay for its proportionate share of and equipment and Council Agenda 12-5-2023 9.D-8
Attachment 1.A
Packet Page 39

5 construction costs for existing and new police stations that will be needed to provide adequate fire protection and emergency services for new development.

PARK AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENTS
The Quimby Act authorizes cities and counties in California to require dedication of park land or payment of fees in-lieu of dedication as a condition of approval of residential subdivisions. Although the Quimby Act allows in-lieu fees to be spent for either land acquisition or park development, the amount of the fee may be based only on either land acquisition or park development, the amount of the fee may be based only on the cost of land. The City of Pismo Beach has established a separate impact fee to cover the cost of park improvements. The two fees are complementary. Although in-lieu fees imposed under the Quimby Act apply only to residential subdivisions, an equivalent fee may be imposed as an impact fee on non-subdivision projects for the purpose of acquiring additional park land. Impact fees for park improvements may be imposed on any development project approved by the City that impacts the needs for parks. Since many of the City's recreational facilities are heavily used by visitors, the impact fee applies to both residential and hotel/motel development.

OTHER FEES

1. Housing In-Lieu Fee
Housing In-Lieu Fees are required of new development when housing units affordable to low to moderate income persons are not created within the new development. The fee is submitted to the City in lieu of providing housing units. These fees are utilized for future low to moderate income housing. The amount of the fee is 5% of the assessed valuation of the Building Permit.

2. Sand Supply Fee
The California Coastal Commission requires a mitigation fee for a project impacting beach areas. The fee is to be used towards future coastal access improvements upon consultation with the California Coastal Commission. The amount of the fee is $25 per cubic yard of sand impacted.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #9.E
SUBJECT/TITLE:

RATIFICATION OF THE PURCHASE OF TWO NEW POOL VEHICLES IN FISCAL YEAR 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution ratifying the purchase of two Toyota RAV4 Hybrid LE vehicles at a combined price of $73,505.43 inclusive of tax, title, and licensing fees, in Fiscal Year 2024.

BACKGROUND:

Staff has been trying to purchase two new pool vehicles, each with an approximate value of $37,000, for more than six months. These vehicles will be used for:

1. City Manager’s office, Management Services, and Administrative Services shared pool vehicle;

2. IT pool vehicle.

Typically, when the City purchases multiple vehicles, the vehicles are procured through a competitive bid process, due to the combined value of the purchase and the requirements of the City’s Purchasing Policy. On September 14, 2023 bids were issued for both Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid vehicles. Due to supply chain issues, the auto workers strike and other factors, new vehicles are in short supply and no dealers or manufacturers responded to the issued bids for the vehicles. Under the City’s Purchasing Policy, formal bidding may be dispensed with when there are extenuating circumstances that would make formal bidding not the most cost-effective approach. The City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures require obtaining three quotes for purchases over $15,000. Staff found on multiple occasions that by the time a third quote was received, the first and sometimes second-lowest priced vehicles were already sold.

Rather than rebidding or seeking additional quotes, and based on the Purchasing Policy, staff moved to purchase the vehicles one at a time directly from local dealers.

In response to these challenges and under the City Manager’s purchasing authority, staff was able to successfully purchase two Toyota RAV4 Hybrid LE vehicles, one for $36,722.00 on October 12, 2023 and another for $36,783.43 on November 1, 2023 from Toyota of Lompoc to meet the operational demands of the departments (cost exhibits provided as Attachments 1.A and 1.B). These purchases represented the best value to the City. As the City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures require Council approval for purchases over $50,000 from the same vendor, staff recommends Council ratify the purchase of the two subject vehicles.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) ratifying the purchase of two Toyota RAV4 Hybrid LE vehicles at a combined price of $73,505.43 inclusive of tax, title, and licensing fees, in FY 2024.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #9 to the existing Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. for Preparation of Environmental Documents for Central Coast Blue in the amount of $23,053.

BACKGROUND:

In June 2017, the City Council awarded a contract to Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) for preparation of environmental documents related to Central Coast Blue, which at the time was known as the Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program or RGSP. To date, eight amendments have been prepared and executed. Five of these were executed under the City Manager’s authority and three were approved by City Council. A list of the executed amendments to date is below.
Amendment #1 – additional work related to archaeological resources services for an Extended Phase 1 study. Executed under the City Manager’s authority on February 11, 2020.
Amendment #2 – cost modification due to additional work required by the selection of the project site for the advanced water treatment facility. Executed under the City Manager’s authority on February 24, 2020. Amendment #3 – out of scope services that resulted from initial project delays and changes to the project description that occurred between 2017 and 2019 such as the location of the advanced treatment facility and revisions to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Approved by City Council on December 21, 2021.
Amendment #4 – additional costs associated with preparing updated technical studies and the Addendum to the 2021 Final EIR. Approved by City Council on December 6, 2022.

Amendment #8 – additional tasks including a preliminary hydrogeologic analysis in support of the EIR Addendum and the provision of accessibility compliance for NEPA documentation. Approved by the City Council on July 18, 2023.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #9 (Attachment 1.A) to the existing Rincon contract to allow Rincon to move forward with the environmental permitting process for Central Coast Blue.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of approving the attached Resolution is $2,966.92 in the City of Pismo Beach’s Water Enterprise Fund and $6,023.75 in the City’s Wastewater Enterprise Fund for a total of $8,990.67 across both funds.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #9.G
SUBJECT/TITLE:

JOINDER AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT

POWERS AGREEMENT OF THE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving the 2023 County Joinder Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Integrated Waste Management Authority.

BACKGROUND:

In May 1994, an agreement was executed by the Cities of Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Grover Beach, Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo (Cities) and the County of San Luis Obispo (County) forming a joint powers authority (Original JPA Agreement), through which the member agencies created and established a public entity identified as the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA). In 2001, the Cities, County and certain special districts within the County executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) amending the Original JPA Agreement to allow the special districts representation on the IWMA Board.

In November 2021, the County withdrew from the IWMA resulting in the Cities and special districts adopting the Second Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the IWMA (Second Amended JPA Agreement) in order to reestablish and continue the IWMA without the County.

On October 31, 2023, the County Board of Supervisors voted to rejoin the IWMA through a Joinder Amendment (Attachment 1.A). The Joinder Amendment allows the County to rejoin the IWMA pursuant to the terms set forth in the Second Amended JPA Agreement.

Each member jurisdiction is required to approve the Joinder Amendment before the County will officially be reinstated as a member of the IWMA.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the 2023 County Joinder Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the IWMA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed Resolution.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Do not approve the Joinder Amendment; provide staff with direction.

1 2023 COUNTY JOINDER AMENDMENT

TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT

OF THE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
This County Joinder Amendment (“County Joinder”), dated _______________, 2023, to the SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (“2022 JPA Agreement”) is by and between the incorporated cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, El Paso de Robles, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo, all being municipal corporations of the State of California and located within the boundaries of the County of San Luis Obispo California, (collectively, the “Cities”) and the County of San Luis Obispo, by its joinder herein.

A.On or about May 10, 1994, an agreement was executed by and between the Cities and the County of San Luis Obispo forming a joint powers authority pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (the “Original JPA Agreement”), through which such member agencies created and established a public entity identified as the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (“IWMA”).

B.On or around 2001, the Cities, County, and certain special districts within the County (“Authorized Districts”) executed a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) amending the Original JPA Agreement to include the Authorized Districts for representation on the IWMA Board.

C.On or about November 15, 2021, the County withdrew from the IWMA, after which the remaining Cities and Authorized Districts elected to reestablish and continue the IWMA, on the terms set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Integrated Waste Management Authority, which was adopted by the participating agencies in 2022 (“2022 JPA Agreement”).

D.On or about October 31, 2023, the County officially elected to rejoin the IWMA, including on the terms set forth the 2022 JPA Agreement, as amended hereby.

Based on the foregoing, the Cities, Authorized Districts, including the County through its joinder, hereby agree to the following amendments to the 2022 JPA Agreement reflecting the County’s joinder.

1.Title Amendment and List of Participating Agencies Attachment. The Title of the 2022 JPA shall be amended to read “Second Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement to Establish an Integrated Waste Management Authority.” The List of Participating Agencies attached to the 2022 JPA Agreement is replaced with the list attached to this Joinder Amendment.

2.Definitions. Section 1, entitled, “Definitions” shall be amended to include the following new definitions or amended definitions.

A.County shall be added as a definition. “County” means any unincorporated areas of the County of San Luis Obispo.

B.The following referenced definitions replace those of the same number in the 2022 JPA Agreement in their entirety.

9.G-4Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Attachment 1.A
Packet Page 70

[Participating Agency Signature Pages Follow]
2 “1.17 “Members” means the Cities and the County who are members of this regional agency, formed pursuant to Public Resources Code section 40970 et seq, and the one (1) Authorized District Representative pursuant to Public Resources Code section 40977.” “1.18 “Participating Agency” or “Participating Agencies” means and shall include the Cities, the County and the Authorized Districts who are signatories to this Agreement, including by way of joinder, delegating powers to the Authority pursuant to this Agreement, and participating in the governance of the IWMA.”

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definition of “MRF”, was inadvertently included within the definition of “Members”, in the 2022 JPA Agreement, and such definition shall remain the definition of “MRF” and is not deleted.

3. Section 8, entitled “Boundaries” is amended and restated in its entirety to read:
“Section 8. Boundaries. The boundaries of the Authority shall be the boundaries of the collective Participating Agencies. If a Participating Agency withdraws from the Authority, the boundaries shall be modified to exclude the area of the withdrawing agency. If a qualified agency joins the Authority, the boundaries shall be modified to include the area of the joining Participating Agency. Section 8 shall not prevent the Authority’s use and/or operation of facilities outside of its boundaries within the County of San Luis Obispo.”

4. Section 9, entitled “Organization” shall be amended to include a new paragraph 9.2(g) to read as follows:
“(g) County. The County shall be entitled to appoint one representative to the Authority which representative shall consist of one (1) member from Board of Supervisors. The County may elect to have an alternate member from the Board of Supervisors in addition to any official member but said appointed alternate shall be able to vote only in the absence of the official representative.”

5. County Joinder. The County hereby joins the IWMA pursuant to the terms and conditions in the 2022 JPA Agreement as amended hereby, and the undersigned hereby consent.

6. Omnibus Change. Wherever references to “Cities” is used or “Cities and Authorized Districts”, are used in the 2022 JPA Agreement, including in its recitals, such references shall expressly be read to include the County unless context expressly dictates otherwise.

7. Ratification. The 2022 JPA Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and provisions, as amended hereby.

8. Effective Date. This Joinder Amendment shall take effect when adopted by each of the Cities, the County, with the Authorized Districts consenting to the joinder of the County, as evidenced by their execution pursuant to resolutions of such governing bodies authorizing such execution and shall remain in full force and effect until dissolved pursuant to the provisions herein. This Joinder Amendment may be executed in counterparts which together shall constitute a single agreement.

Electronically executed signatures may be accepted in lieu of originals if a Member agency has authorized electronic signatures through policy or otherwise.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.H
SUBJECT/TITLE:
2024 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution establishing the 2024 City Council Regular Meeting schedule.

BACKGROUND:

Pismo Beach Municipal Code Section 2.04.080 provides that the City Council shall hold meetings as established by Council resolution. City Council Resolution R-2009-014 establishes that the Council shall hold its regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday of every month. The Council may enact further resolutions amending its meeting schedule, and staff typically presents an item to the Council at the end of each calendar year to set the regular meeting schedule for the following year, including any projected cancellations.

For calendar year 2024, staff recommends the cancellation of the meetings of January 2, 2024, July 2, 2024, and November 5, 2024. Staff recommends the cancellation of the January 2, 2024 meeting due to its proximity to the New Year’s holiday, which would preclude the opportunity to fully prepare for the meeting. Staff recommends the cancellation of the July 2, 2024 meeting, in keeping with the recent historical precedent of at least one summer meeting being cancelled to allow staff and Council to take vacation and to focus on other work. Finally, staff recommends the cancellation of the November 5, 2024 meeting, due to it coinciding with Election Day.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) setting the Council's 2024 regular meeting schedule, and cancelling the meeting dates of January 2, 2024, July 2, 2024, and November 5, 2024.

Either (i) The applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards contained in 40 CFR subchapter N specifically provide that they shall be applied on a net basis; or (ii) The Industrial User demonstrates that the control system it proposes or uses to meet applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards would, if properly installed and operated, meet the Standards in the absence of pollutants in the intake waters.

b. Credit for generic pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and oil and grease should not be granted unless the Industrial User demonstrates that the constituents of the generic measure in the User’s effluent are substantially similar to the constituents of the generic measure in the intake water or unless
appropriate additional limits are placed on process water pollutants either at the outfall or elsewhere.

c. Credit shall be granted only to the extent necessary to meet the applicable categorical Pretreatment Standard(s), up to a maximum value equal to the influent value. Additional
monitoring may be necessary to determine eligibility for credits and compliance with Standard(s) adjusted under this Section.

d. Credit shall be granted only if the User demonstrates that the intake water is drawn from the same body of water as that into which the POTW discharges. The City may waive this
Attachment 1

9.I-16Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 111

requirement if it finds that no environmental degradation will result.

E. When a categorical Pretreatment Standard is expressed only in terms of pollutant concentrations, an Industrial User may request that the City convert the limits to equivalent mass limits. The determination to convert concentration limits to mass limits is within the discretion of the Director.

The City may establish equivalent mass limits only if the Industrial User meets all the conditions set forth in paragraphs E.1.a. through E.1.e. of this Section.

1. To be eligible for equivalent mass limits, the Industrial User must:

a. Employ, or demonstrate that it will employ, water conservation methods and technologies that substantially reduce water use during the term of its wastewater discharge permit;

b. Currently use control and treatment technologies adequate to achieve compliance with the applicable categorical
Pretreatment Standard, and not have used dilution as a
substitute for treatment;

c. Provide sufficient information to establish the facility’s actual average daily flow rate for all waste streams, based on data from a continuous effluent flow monitoring device, as well as the facility’s long-term average production rate. Both the actual average daily flow rate and the long-term average production rate must be representative of current operating conditions;

d. Not have daily flow rates, production levels, or pollutant levels that vary so significantly that equivalent mass limits are not appropriate to control the Discharge; and

e. Have consistently complied with all applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards during the period prior to the
Industrial User’s request for equivalent mass limits.

2. An Industrial User subject to equivalent mass limits must:

a. Maintain and effectively operate control and treatment technologies adequate to achieve compliance with the
equivalent mass limits;

b. Continue to record the facility’s flow rates through the use of a continuous effluent flow monitoring device;
Attachment 1

9.I-17Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 112

c. Continue to record the facility’s production rates and notify the Director whenever production rates are expected to vary by more than twenty percent (20%) from its baseline production rates determined in paragraph E.1.c. of this Section. Upon notification of a revised production rate, the Director will reassess the equivalent mass limit and revise the limit as necessary to reflect changed conditions at the facility; and

d. Continue to employ the same or comparable water
conservation methods and technologies as those
implemented pursuant to paragraph E.1.a. of this Section so long as it discharges under an equivalent mass limit.

3. When developing equivalent mass limits, the Director:

a. Will calculate the equivalent mass limit by multiplying the actual average daily flow rate of the regulated process(es) of the Industrial User by the concentration-based Daily
Maximum and Monthly Average Standard for the applicable categorical Pretreatment Standard and the appropriate unit conversion factor;

b. Upon notification of a revised production rate, will reassess the equivalent mass limit and recalculate the limit as
necessary to reflect changed conditions at the facility; and

c. May retain the same equivalent mass limit in subsequent wastewater discharge permit terms if the Industrial User’s actual average daily flow rate was reduced solely as a result of the implementation of water conservation methods and technologies, and the actual average daily flow rates used in the original calculation of the equivalent mass limit were not based on the use of dilution as a substitute for treatment pursuant to Section 13.12.100 (Dilution) of this Code. The Industrial User must also be in compliance with Section

13.12.050 (Prohibited Discharge Standards) of this Code regarding the prohibition of bypass.

F. The Director may convert the mass limits of the categorical Pretreatment Standards of 40 CFR Parts 414, 419, and 455 to concentration limits for purposes of calculating limitations applicable to individual Industrial Users.

The conversion is at the discretion of the Director.

G. Once included in its permit, the Industrial User must comply with the equivalent limitations developed in this Section 13.12.070 (Categorical Attachment 1

9.I-18Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 113

Pretreatment Standards) of this Code in lieu of the promulgated categorical Standards from which the equivalent limitations were derived.

H. Many categorical Pretreatment Standards specify one limit for calculating maximum daily discharge limitations and a second limit for calculating maximum Monthly Average, or four (4) day average, limitations. Where such Standards are being applied, the same production or flow figure shall be used in calculating both the average and the maximum equivalent limitation.

I. Any Industrial User operating under a permit incorporating equivalent mass or concentration limits calculated from a production-based Standard shall notify the Director within two (2) business days after the User has a reasonable basis to know that the production level will significantly change within the next calendar month. Any User not notifying the Director of such anticipated change will be required to meet the mass or concentration limits in its permit that were based on the original estimate of the long-term average production rate.

13.12.080 Best management practices.

The Director may develop BMPs in Wastewater Discharge Permits to implement the requirements of this Chapter.

13.12.090 City’s right of revision.

The City reserves the right to establish, by ordinance or in wastewater discharge permits, more stringent Standards or Requirements on discharges to the POTW consistent with the purpose of this Chapter.

13.12.100 Dilution.

No User shall ever increase the use of process water, or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge, as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a discharge limitation unless expressly authorized by an applicable Pretreatment Standard or Requirement. The Director may impose mass limitations on Users who are using dilution to meet applicable Pretreatment Standards or Requirements, or in other cases when the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate.

13.12.110 Pretreatment of wastewater.

3. Existing FSEs shall install grease interceptors in any of the following circumstances:

a. When the FSE changes ownership;

b. When any change in operation results in or has the potential to result in the increase of the amount of FOG generated and/or discharged by FSE in an amount that alone or
collectively causes or creates a potential Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) to occur;

c. When it is determined by the Director that the FSE caused or contributed to grease-related blockages in the sewer system, has sewer laterals connected to hot spots, or has been
determined to contribute significant FOG to the sewer system, based on inspection and sampling;

d. During a remodel that relocates cooking or cleaning facilities, increases cooking capacity, or changes the type of cooking at the facility;

e. Any other time the Director reasonably determines that installation of a grease interceptor is necessary to avoid an adverse impact to the sewer system.

f. Any Existing FSE that receives a notice from the Director to install a grease interceptor must install the interceptor within one hundred eighty (180) days unless otherwise required by the Director.

Packet Page 137

F. Variance of Grease Interceptor Requirement.

1. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, an Existing FSE may obtain a variance, at the Director’s discretion, from the grease interceptor requirement to allow alternative pretreatment technology that is equally effective in controlling the FOG discharge in lieu of a grease interceptor. One such type of alternative pretreatment technology is a grease trap. Consideration of granting the variance will be based on the following:

a. There is insufficient space for installation and/or maintenance of a grease interceptor.

b. There is inadequate slope for gravity flow between kitchen plumbing fixtures and the grease interceptor and/or between the grease interceptor and the private collection line or the public sewer.

c. The FSE can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Director, that the alternative pretreatment technology is equivalent or better than a grease interceptor in controlling FOG. In addition, the FSE must be able to demonstrate, after
installation of the proposed alternative pretreatment
technology, its continued ability to effectively control FOG discharge.

d. The variance may be rescinded if subsequent monitoring shows accumulation of FOG in the sewer lateral or the
collection system downstream of the FSEs connection or if the FSE caused or contributed to a Sanitary Sewer Overflow. A grease interceptor must be installed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the rescission of a variance.

G. Cost Recovery for FOG.

All costs incurred for cleaning the sewer line to remove FOG buildup caused or contributed to by an FSE shall be reimbursed to the City by the FSE.

H. Grease Interceptor Requirements.

1. Any FSE that is required to provide FOG pretreatment shall install operate and maintain an approved type and properly sized grease interceptor, or other grease removal device authorized under an approved variance, necessary to maintain compliance with the purpose of the FOG Control Program.

When the Director finds that a User has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, the Director may issue an order to the User responsible for the discharge directing that the User come into compliance within a specified time. If the User does not come into compliance within the time provided, sewer service may be discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances are installed and properly operated. Compliance orders also may contain other requirements to address the noncompliance, including additional self-monitoring and management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the sewer. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, nor does a compliance order relieve the User of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

E. Cease and Desist Orders.

1. When the Director finds that a User has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, order issued hereunder, any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, or that the User’s past violations are likely to recur, the Director may issue an order to the User directing it to cease and desist all such violations and directing the User to:

Attachment 1

Packet Page 146

1. Immediately comply with all requirements; and

2. Take such appropriate remedial or preventative action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations and/or terminating the discharge. Issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

F. Administrative Fines.

1. When the Director finds that a User has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, the Director may fine such User in an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). Fines shall be assessed on a per-violation, per-day basis and are subject to misdemeanors. In the case of monthly or other long-term average discharge limits, fines shall be assessed for each day during the period of violation.

2. Unpaid charges, fines, and penalties shall, after ten (10) business days, be assessed an additional penalty of ten percent (10%) of the unpaid balance, and interest shall accrue thereafter at a rate of one percent (1%) per month. A lien against the User’s property may be sought for unpaid charges, fines, and penalties.

3. Users desiring to dispute such fines must file a written request for the Director to reconsider the fine along with full payment of the fine amount within ten (10) business days of the date such fine is imposed. Where a request is not clearly frivolous, the Director may convene a hearing on the matter. In the event the User’s appeal is successful, the payment shall be returned to the User. The Director may add the costs of preparing administrative enforcement actions, such as notices and orders, to the fine.

4. Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

G. Emergency Suspensions.

1. The Director may immediately direct a User to suspend a User’s discharge, after informal notice to the User, whenever such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge, which reasonably appears to present, or cause an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons. The Director may also immediately direct a User to suspend a User’s Attachment 1

9.I-52Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 147

discharge, after notice and opportunity to respond, that threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW, or which presents, or may present, an endangerment to the environment.

2. Any User directed to suspend its discharge shall immediately stop or eliminate the discharge. In the event of a User’s failure to immediately comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the Director may take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW, its receiving stream, or
endangerment to any individuals. The Director may allow the User to recommence its discharge when the User has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director that the period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings in paragraph H. of this Section, are initiated against the User.

3. A User that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement, describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence, to the Director prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing under paragraphs C. and H. of this Section.

4. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as requiring a hearing prior to any Emergency Suspension under this Section.

H. Termination of Discharge.

In addition to the provisions in Section 13.12.130 E. (Wastewater Discharge Permit Issuance) of this Code, any User who violates the following conditions is subject to discharge termination:

1. Violation of wastewater discharge permit conditions.

2. Failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its discharge.

3. Failure to report significant changes in operations or wastewater volume, constituents, and characteristics prior to discharge.

Packet Page 148

6. Such User will be notified of the proposed termination of its discharge and be offered an opportunity to show cause under paragraph C. of this Section why the proposed action should not be taken. Exercise of this option by the Director shall not be a bar to, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

13.12.200 Judicial enforcement remedies.

A. Injunctive Relief.

When the Director finds that a User has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, an order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, the Director may petition the Superior Court of San Luis Obispo County through the City’s Attorney for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this Chapter on activities of the User. The Director may also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the User to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a User.

B. Criminal Prosecution.

1. A User who willfully or negligently violates any provision of this Chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard of Requirement shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation per day, or imprisonment for not more than six (6) months, or both.

C. Remedies Nonexclusive.

The remedies provided for in this Chapter are not exclusive. The Director may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a noncompliant User. Enforcement of pretreatment violations will generally be in accordance with the City’s enforcement response plan. However, the Director may take other action against any User when the circumstances warrant. Further, the Director is empowered to take more than one enforcement action against any noncompliant User.

13.12.210 Severability.

If any provision of this ordinance is invalidated by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #12.C
SUBJECT/TITLE:

INTRODUCTION (FIRST READING) OF SEWER USE ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce an Ordinance Adding Chapter 13.12: Pretreatment Ordinance and Amending Chapter 13.14: Sewer Use, of the City of Pismo Beach Municipal Code, Relating to the City’s Advanced Water Purification Facility.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Pismo Beach is the lead agency for a regional recycled water project, Central Coast Blue. Central Coast Blue is envisioned to be a two-phased project with Phase 1 of the project diverting the effluent from the City’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to an Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) where the effluent will be treated to beyond drinking water standards and then injected into the aquifer. Once this water is injected into the aquifer it will serve two purposes; to augment potable water supplies for the Central Coast Blue member agencies (Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach), and to form a saltwater intrusion barrier. Phase 2 of the project, if deemed necessary, will divert effluent from the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District’s WWTP to expand the production of Central Coast Blue.

Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (22 CCR) Section 60320.206 requires that potable water reuse systems administer and maintain an industrial pretreatment program and pollutant source control program. The combined effort is referred to as an Enhanced Source Control Program (ESCP). The purpose of an ESCP is to prevent interference and pass-through of pollutants at the WWTP and AWPF to protect the end-uses of the plant (effluent, biosolids, environment); and to protect drinking water quality by controlling the discharge of constituents of concern to the WWTP and AWPF.

As part of the ESCP development, an Ordinance (Attachment 1) has been drafted that will update the Pismo Beach Municipal Code to give the City legal authority to implement and enforce all elements of the ESCP. This “Sewer Use Ordinance” would add a new Chapter 13.12 and amend the existing Chapter 13.14, allowing the City to assess and trace chemicals throughout the wastewater and recycled water treatment and collection systems; investigate and monitor contaminant sources; perform outreach to industrial, commercial, and residential dischargers; maintain an inventory of potential contaminants from dischargers; and regulate and enforce any pretreatment standards.

Major changes to the SUO include:
x City authorization to issue wastewater discharge permits x Monitoring, reporting, and compliance requirements for non-domestic users x Establishment of the City’s enforcement policies
x Incorporation of the City’s Fat, Oil, and Grease Program (FOG) x Reservation for future discharge limits

WHEREAS, the purpose of the amendments established hereby is to add additional regulations to the existing ordinance in order to enhance preservation of neighborhood integrity, encourage maintenance of the City’s long-term housing stock, further minimize impacts to coastal resources, continue to provide for the reasonable use of property, and ensure that STRs are consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Code, and other applicable sections of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, additional regulations relating to the administration of short-term rental and homestay licenses are established in Title 17 of the Municipal Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Pismo Beach does ordain as follows:

5.22.130 Annual license requirements.

A.As of the date of adoption of the ordinance revising this Chapter 5.22, there are twenty-eight (28) properties authorized for short-term rental or homestay use. There shall be no more than twenty-eight (28) short- term/homestay licenses in effect at any given time under this Chapter. No applications for short-term/homestay licenses shall be accepted after December 5, 2023 for properties without an existing short-term/homestay license in effect as of December 5, 2023. In the event a short- term/homestay license is either revoked or is not renewed, or the property transfers ownership, no additional short-term/homestay licenses shall be issued to replace the license on the property. It is the express intention of the City Council in adopting this provision to reduce the number of short- term/homestay licenses to zero through attrition over time.

B.Regardless of the date of issuance, short-term rental licenses expire on September 30 of each year. Licensed operators are required to obtain renewal of the license each year prior to September 30. Proof of primary residence shall be submitted each year prior to issuance of annual STR license and business license renewal. As a condition of renewal, the operator shall provide the City a listing of each rental night during the preceding twelve (12) months, a list of the rental charges imposed for each rental night during the preceding twelve (12) months, and proof of payment of transient occupancy tax for the prior twelve (12) months.

C.The licensed operator shall notify the City in writing of responsible party and appropriate contact information. In the event the responsible party changes, the licensed operator shall notify the City in writing of such change not later than forty-eight hours after the change.

D.For the first two (2) years after obtaining an STR license, the property shall be inspected annually during the renewal period for life safety purposes to ensure proper safety and operation of the STR. Following the first two (2) years after an STR license is issued, annual inspections shall not be required as part of the license renewal process, unless one or more violations of this Chapter or other provisions of this code are sustained within the previous twelve (12) month period. In such a case, annual inspections may be reinstated for twelve (12) months following each sustained violation.

E.The property owner shall apply for a business license renewal annually.

5.22.140 Violations and enforcement.

A.It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to construct for short- term rental or homestay use, to convert to short-term rental or homestay Attachment 1

use, to offer to another for short-term rental or homestay use, to advertise for short-term rental or homestay use, or to occupy as a short-term rental or homestay use any portion of any structure or facility without full compliance with this Chapter.

B.In lieu of the sanctions set forth in Subsection 5.22.140 A. of this Code, violation of this chapter may be prosecuted as an infraction, subject to the following:

1.The penalties for violations specified in Subsection 5.22.140 B. of this Code shall be as follows:
a.Pursuant to Government Code Section 36900(d), for
infractions that pose a threat to public health or safety, the fine shall be, at a minimum, one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) for an initial violation of this chapter, three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) for a second violation of the same provision within one (1) year, and five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each subsequent violation of the same
provision within one (1) year. Operation of a short-term rental or homestay without a license, and violations of the City’s Good Neighbor Policy, shall be deemed to pose a threat to public health or safety.
b.For an initial violation, the Community Development Director may grant a hardship waiver to reduce the amount of the fine upon a showing by the licensee that the licensee has made a bona fide effort to comply after the first violation and that payment of the full amount of the fine would impose an undue financial burden on the responsible party. No such waiver shall be granted for subsequent violations. The fines set forth in this subsection shall not apply to a first time offense of failure to register or pay a business license fee.
c.In addition to the penalties imposed under subsection a., upon a third violation of the same provision within a rolling one (1) year period, the Community Development Director shall

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #12.B
SUBJECT/TITLE:

INTRODUCTION (FIRST READING) OF AN ORDINANCE MODIFYING CHAPTER 5.22

OF THE PISMO BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 5.22 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code, relating to administrative regulations of vacation rentals, short-term rentals, and homestays.

BACKGROUND:

On June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance O-2022-005 imposing a moratorium on the issuance of short-term rental (STR) licenses to allow time for the development of regulations to address neighborhood complaints resulting from the operation of STRs in Pismo Beach. On August 2, 2022, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance O-2022-007, extending the moratorium until June 20, 2023, in accordance with Government Code provisions relating to urgency land use ordinances. On June 6, 2023, the moratorium was extended one final time as allowed by law, and it is set to expire on June 20, 2024. The City’s existing STR regulations were industry leading for coastal cities at the time of adoption in 2018. Since that time, the STR environment has evolved, consistent neighborhood complaints have been voiced, and loopholes in the regulations have been identified that necessitate revisions to the regulations.

At the May 2, 2023, City Council meeting, staff proposed introduction of a revision to Title 5, Chapter 5.22 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code (PBMC), which deals with the administrative regulations for STRs and homestays. The staff report for that meeting, which contained a detailed discussion of the task force created to address STR issues, is available online in the Access Pismo public records portal at www.pismobeach.org/accesspismo1 . While the Council did not act to introduce the ordinance at that time, Council directed staff to return with revised STR regulations addressing a number of specific issues: (1) a limit on the total number of STRs, (2) notification to surrounding properties at the time of issuance of a new or renewed STR license, and (3) a prohibition on STRs outside the Coastal Zone, with the potential for “grandfathering” the existing licenses outside the Coastal Zone. The Council also directed staff to pursue an arrangement with AirBnB and other similar platforms for the sharing of booking data to assist in the enforcement of the City’s regulations.

As such, staff has fairly significantly revised the draft ordinance presented to the Council on May 2. The proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1), which addresses the administrative portion of the STR regulations contained in Municipal Code Title 5, addresses the concerns expressed by the City Council and the Pismo Beach community at that meeting. 1 Full URL:

Attachment 2

9.J-18Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 182

In brief, staff has implemented the changes discussed below, as well as various changes in the organization of the chapter as a whole to make it easier to read and apply. A redline version of the ordinance over the May 2 version is also attached so the Council may view the proposed changes since that version.

1. Applicants for an STR license will be required to provide mailing labels to the City to allow notification to all properties within a five-hundred-foot radius that a property owner wishes to use the property for short-term rental purposes.

2. Applicants must show proof of property ownership for a minimum of two consecutive years prior to making an application for an STR license.

3. Applicants must provide an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury that the property is the primary residence of the applicant. The City may also request additional documentation to confirm this status.

4. Applicants whose properties are part of a homeowners’ association must provide written authorization from the HOA board to use the property for short-term rental purposes.

5. Applicants must allow inspections of the premises for the first five years of operation, but thereafter only if a violation of PBMC Chapter 5.22 is sustained.

Staff also added additional standards governing the operation of STRs, including specifying the hours in which garbage bins may be put out for collection and when they must be retrieved. Operators will also be required to renew licenses annually and to provide a detailed listing of each night of STR rental, a listing of rental charges imposed, and proof of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) payment.

Most notably, though, staff has included a provision that establishes a maximum number of STR licenses in the city, which is currently set at 28 based on the number of licenses in existence when the Council gave direction to staff to establish a numerical cap. No applications for new STR licenses will be accepted after December 5, 2023, but renewals of existing licenses will be allowed until the property changes hands, or until the license is either revoked or not renewed. This will have the effect of gradually reducing the number of STRs in the city over time.

From an enforcement standpoint, the revised ordinance establishes a three-prong enforcement program. The program can initially be enforced through administrative citations, which are set at $1,000 per violation. There are administrative appeal procedures outlined in the ordinance. The other two methods will involve filing a citation with the court, which can either be prosecuted as an infraction or as a misdemeanor. The former method would be the secondary method of enforcement after administrative citations, and it would carry fines of $1,500 for an initial violation, $3,000 for a second violation of the same provision in the same one-year period, and $5,000 for each subsequent violation. The latter method would allow the court to impose fines of only up to $1,000, but it could impose conditions of probation that, if violated, could result in additional fines or in extreme cases, incarceration. Staff does not anticipate seeking such a remedy, but the conditions of probation allow the court to supervise enforcement which may serve as a much greater deterrent to repeat offenders.

November 7, 2023 Introduction Report
Attachment 2

9.J-19Council Agenda 12-5-2023
Packet Page 183

Because revisions to the Title 17 1983 Coastal Zoning code would require approval of the Coastal Commission to implement, staff has elected to first establish these administrative regulations for STRs in Chapter 5.22, with the intent to eventually simplify the zoning codes to remove administrative processing of STR permits in favor of those contained in Title 5. With that approach, future changes to the administration of STR permits would not require Coastal Commission approval within the Coastal Zone.

Corporate Managed/Operated Fractional Ownership
Finally, a newer phenomenon in the short-term rental landscape deals with corporately managed and operated fractional ownership units. These uses operate like timeshares but are being implemented in single-family residences rather than higher-density or resort-oriented areas. In keeping with the intent of the City’s existing regulations to protect residential neighborhoods, the STR regulations have added a section stating that this type of ownership would be prohibited under the City’s STR regulations. This is important, as vacation rentals are prohibited in the residential districts and would not be permitted.

However, this would not preclude other fractional ownership situations, such as family members co-owning property, from occurring.

Environmental Review
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been determined that the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15060(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines for projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Public Notification
A public notice regarding the proposed ordinance was posted at City Hall, on the City’s website, and published in the New Times on October 26, 2023. Additionally, the public notice was sent to all licensed STR operators on October 27, 2023. The meeting agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code section 54954.2. As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received.

Conclusion and Recommendation
The short-term rental environment has evolved since the City implemented regulations in 2018. Staff has revised the regulations to address neighborhood concerns and Council direction. For that reason, staff recommends the City Council introduce the revised ordinance (Attachment 1) modifying Chapter 5.22 of Title 5 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code regarding short-term rentals. This regular ordinance, if introduced at this juncture, will be returned for second reading at the next available meeting and would become effective 30 days thereafter. Adoption of the ordinance will also concurrently terminate the moratorium.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of approving the ordinance could result in the need to establish additional STR license renewal fees to cover City resources used to support this program.

As stated above, should the City Council adopt the revised regulations, staff will return at Council Agenda 11-7-2023 12.B-3

a future date to set appropriate fees for STR license renewals and probationary inspections to cover staff time necessary to perform these services.

1. Modify and introduce the ordinance; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

WHEREAS, the purpose of the amendments established hereby is to add additional regulations to the existing ordinance in order to enhance preservation of neighborhood integrity, encourage maintenance of the City’s long-term housing stock, further minimize impacts to coastal resources, continue to provide for the reasonable use of property, and ensure that STRs are consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Code, and other applicable sections of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, additional regulations relating to the administration of short-term rental and homestay licenses are established in Title 17 of the Municipal Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Pismo Beach does ordain as follows:

5.22.130 Annual license requirements.

A. As of the date of adoption of the ordinance revising this Chapter 5.22, there are twenty-eight (28) properties authorized for short-term rental or homestay use. There shall be no more than twenty-eight (28) short- term/homestay licenses in effect at any given time under this Chapter. No applications for short-term/homestay licenses shall be accepted after December 5, 2023 for properties without an existing short-term/homestay license in effect as of December 5, 2023. In the event a short- term/homestay license is either revoked or is not renewed, or the property transfers ownership, no additional short-term/homestay licenses shall be issued to replace the license on the property. It is the express intention of the City Council in adopting this provision to reduce the number of short- term/homestay licenses to zero through attrition over time.

B. Regardless of the date of issuance, short-term rental licenses expire on September 30 of each year. Licensed operators are required to obtain renewal of the license each year prior to September 30. Proof of primary residence shall be submitted each year prior to issuance of annual STR license and business license renewal. As a condition of renewal, the operator shall provide the City a listing of each rental night during the preceding twelve (12) months, a list of the rental charges imposed for each rental night during the preceding twelve (12) months, and proof of payment of transient occupancy tax for the prior twelve (12) months.

C. The licensed operator shall notify the City in writing of responsible party and appropriate contact information. In the event the responsible party changes, the licensed operator shall notify the City in writing of such change not later than forty-eight hours after the change.

D. For the first five (5) years after obtaining an STR license, the property shall be inspected annually during the renewal period for life safety purposes to ensure proper safety and operation of the STR. Following the first five (5) years after an STR license is issued, annual inspections shall not be required as part of the license renewal process, unless one or more violations of the this Chapter or other provisions of this code are sustained within the previous twelve (12) month period. In such a case, annual inspections may be reinstated for twelve (12) months following each sustained violation.

E. The property owner shall apply for a business license renewal annually.

5.22.140 Violations and enforcement.

A. It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to construct for short- term rental or homestay use, to convert to short-term rental or homestay Council Agenda 11-7-2023 12.B-15

provision within one (1) year. Operation of a short-term rental or homestay without a license, and violations of the City’s Good Neighbor Policy, shall be deemed to pose a threat to public health or safety.

b. For an initial violation, the Community Development Director may grant a hardship waiver to reduce the amount of the fine upon a showing by the licensee that the licensee has made a bona fide effort to comply after the first violation and that payment of the full amount of the fine would impose an undue financial burden on the responsible party. No such waiver shall be granted for subsequent violations. The fines set forth in this subsection shall not apply to a first time offense of failure to register or pay a business license fee.

C. In lieu of, or in addition to the sanctions set forth in Subsection 5.22.140 A. of this Code, violation of this chapter may be prosecuted as administrative violations in the manner provided in this Subsection 5.22.140 C.

1. The Community Development Director or designee shall cause an investigation to be conducted whenever there is reason to believe that an owner has failed to comply with the provisions of this Chapter.

Should the investigation reveal that a violation occurred, the Community Development Director or designee shall issue written notice of the violation and intention to impose a penalty and/or revoke the license. The written notice shall be served on the owner and operator or agent and shall specify the facts which, in the opinion of Council Agenda 11-7-2023 12.B-16

the Community Development Director, constitute grounds for imposition of the penalties and/or revocation, and specify that the penalties will be imposed and/or that the license will be revoked within fifteen (15) days from the date the notice is given unless the owner and/or operator files with the City Clerk the fine amount and a request for a hearing.

b. Each separate day or rental night in which a violation exists may be considered a separate violation.

c. Should it be determined by the Community Development Director or designee that the residence is not the property owner’s primary residence, the license shall be revoked.

d. Should it be determined by the Administrative Services Director that a licensee has failed to submit, or has been late in submitting two (2) or more Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) submittals in a twelve (12) month period, the license shall be revoked.

2. If the owner requests a hearing within the time specified in Subsection 5.22.140 C.1. of this Code, the City Clerk shall serve written notice on the owner and operator, by mail, of the date, time and place for the hearing which shall be scheduled not less than fifteen (15) days, nor more than forty-five (45) days after receipt of request for a hearing. The Community Development Director may preside over the hearing or may designate a hearing officer to take evidence and submit proposed findings and recommendations to the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director shall impose the penalties or revoke the license only upon a finding that a violation has been proven by a preponderance of the evidence, and that the penalty or revocation is consistent with the provisions of this Chapter. The Community Development Director shall render a decision within thirty (30) days of the hearing and the decision shall be final.

D. The Community Development Director or designee shall have the authority to impose additional conditions on any license in the event of any violation of the conditions of the license or the provisions of this chapter.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.K
SUBJECT/TITLE:

APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE DIRECTOR TO THE CENTRAL COAST BLUE

REGIONAL RECYCLED WATER AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDATION:

Appoint Mayor Pro Tem Reiss to serve as the City’s Alternate Director on the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority Board of Directors.

BACKGROUND:

The Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority (CCBRRWA) was formed under a joint exercise of powers agreement (JEPA) executed by the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach in September 2022. The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors; in accordance with the JEPA, each city will appoint, from its City Council, a Primary Director and Alternate Director to represent the city on the Board.

The Mayor serves as the City’s Primary Director, but to date no Alternate Director has been appointed.

Conclusion and Recommendation
In order to comply with the requirements of the CCBRRWA JEPA, staff recommends that the City Council appoint an Alternate Director to represent the City on the CCBRRWA Board. As the Mayor Pro Tempore traditionally serves as the alternate to the Mayor in many contexts, staff recommends that the Mayor Pro Tempore serve as the Alternate Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the adopted budget from appointment of an Alternate Director.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Appoint a different City Council Member to serve as Alternate Director.

ATTACHMENTS:

None.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #11.A
SUBJECT/TITLE:

PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMUNITY INPUT, REQUESTS, AND

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION:

1.Conduct a public hearing to receive input on the disbursement of the City’s allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds for the 2024 Action Plan Year;

2.Adopt a Resolution identifying draft recommendations to the County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion in the 2024 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Pismo Beach and other cities in San Luis Obispo County are part of the San Luis Obispo Urban County group to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Fiscal Years 2024–2026 (Cooperation Agreement with County of San Luis Obispo). A total of $33,396 in CDBG funds is estimated to be allocated to the City for low-income housing and community service needs. These funds include $4,341 for County administrative costs, for a net amount available estimated to be $29,055 (including the City’s administrative costs of $2,338). Pursuant to the agreement between the City and the County, the County acts as the applicant for CDBG funds and is responsible for administering the CDBG funding awarded by HUD. It is estimated that funds would be available for project work in the second half of 2024.

Two valid applications for CDBG funds have been received during the public review period, including applications from 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) and Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. (CAPSLO). Both applications indicated a request for Public Services funds, which are capped at 15% of the City’s total CDBG allocations, or $5,009. However, based on previous years, staff believes that CAPSLO intended to apply for Rehabilitation funds, which do not have a cap. 5 Cities Homeless Coalition
The 5CHC provides wrap-around services, including case management and direct financial assistance, with a special emphasis on the housing support program that serves clients throughout San Luis Obispo County who are either homeless or facing homelessness. The program focuses on assisting clients to secure and maintain stable housing, conducting outreach on the street, sheltering, coordinated assessment, and case management to provide rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention services utilizing Housing First principles of providing housing support combined with supportive services.

Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.A-1
Packet Page 203

The application for funding in this cycle proposes to continue to provide these wrap- around services and indicates that funds will support housing and stabilization services, including landlord cultivation, case management support, and subsistence payments for rent, application fees, and deposits, following a coordinated entry assessment and progressive engagement model.

The 5CHC proposal is requesting a total of $407,358 from local cities and the County of San Luis Obispo.

The proposal, provided as Attachment 2, will help quickly identify and resolve barriers to gaining and maintaining housing, and as indicated in the proposal:
5CHC's Housing Program braids available funding sources and with multiple sources of funds, 5CHC is able to target funds with differing eligibility criteria in order to maximize their use to serve those with the highest needs and greatest number possible.

Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc.

CAPSLO’s Minor Home Repair program provides necessary home repair and access- improvement services to low- and very low-income, elderly and disabled individuals residing in single-family homes, mobile homes, and multi-family dwelling units.

The application for funding in this cycle proposes to continue this effort, indicating that the need for home repair and access-improvement services for elderly and disabled individuals are ongoing and that the funding will allow CAPSLO to continue to provide services to those in need, keeping them safely housed and independent.

The CAPSLO proposal is requesting a total of $97,699 from the City and the County of San Luis Obispo.

The proposal, provided as Attachment 3, will help 100% of the elderly and disabled individuals served through the Minor Home Repair program’s CDBG funds remain independent and in their permanent, stable housing, and as indicated in the proposal:

This outcome is measured through a survey upon completion of services.

Discussion
CDBG funds allocated to Pismo Beach are for low-income housing and community service needs. Following public hearings by the County over the past months, seeking public input on use of the CDBG funds, the application period for funding concluded in November 2023. Participating agencies have been asked to forward recommendations from their legislative bodies regarding disbursement of the funds. Once the recommendations are made, the County will develop a Draft 2024 Action Plan (required by HUD) that identifies how CDBG funds will be used. Staff will return to Council in spring 2024 with the Draft 2024 Action Plan for review.

Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.A-2
Packet Page 204

Both 5CHC and CAPSLO are requesting Public Services funds, which are capped at 15% of the Urban County’s total CDBG allocations. The County advises against individual cities recommending greater than 15% for their respective allocations to Public Services applications to ensure jurisdictions are not recommending cumulative allocations greater than this limit. 5CHC has come to rely on the City’s Public Services funds for its programs.

As such, staff recommends the full 15% allocation of Public Services funds ($5,009) be recommended for 5CHC. While the amount the City can contribute to 5CHC does not meet the minimum $8,000 required by the 2024–2026 Cooperative Agreement, 5CHC has been successful in obtaining additional funds from the Urban County group as homelessness services is a priority to meet this threshold.

For the remainder of the City’s CDBG allocation, staff recommends the City allot the remaining $21,707 in CDBG funds to CAPSLO for their Minor Home Repair program, which would fall under the category of Rehabilitation funds. Unlike Public Services funds, Rehabilitation funds are not capped. Similar to 5CHC, CAPSLO has become reliant upon the City’s CDBG funding for its services.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council develop a recommendation on the use of CDBG funds that will be forwarded to the County for use in development of the Draft 2024 Action Plan.

In recent years, the Council recommended that the City’s administration portion of the grant be applied to the programs. The primary reason was that other than the cost to prepare and advertise this item, there are no direct City costs associated with the administration of the program.

As such, it is recommended that the Council discuss the two requests received, as well as any additional requests for funds brought to the Council during this public hearing and develop its recommendation.

Attachment 1 of this report is a Resolution that, if adopted, will identify the City Council’s recommendation for use of Pismo Beach’s allocation of 2024 CDBG funds.

Recommended allocation amounts are included in the Resolution; however, the Council may choose to modify the funding amounts and the Resolution will be finalized accordingly.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is a zero-dollar net fiscal impact to the General Fund. An additional $4,341 in CDBG funds will be provided by HUD to the County for grant administration and $2,338 to the City for staff time on the project. Since revenues and expenditures would be equal, there would be a net zero impact to the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVES:

1.Recommend one of the other proposals presented at the hearing.

2.Recommend multiple proposals with specific funding for each.

Currently 5CHC is contracted through 36 local, federal and state grants to provide more than $6 million in services. Through multiple grant monitoring activities to review 5CHC program and expenditure compliance for all local, state and federal grants, 5CHC has consistently received high praise for program quality and outcomes; reporting; compliance; and timeliness; and has never received a significant finding in an audit. Through CARES Act CV funds, 5CHC expended more than $5 Million in services and facility development since 2021, including subcontracting with multiple other providers and ensuring their compliance.
5CHC is timely in providing required reports and its billing process, meeting all required expenditure deadlines. 5CHC's outcomes consistently exceed agreed upon program metrics. Please note the various attachments we have included under section 10: policies, procedures, intake forms, file check lists, outcomes and program reports.

The rules governing ESG require that 5CHC, as a subrecipient, comply with all applicable federal laws, statutes, and regulations (which include but are not limited to the ESG Program Interim Rule (24 CFR Part 576) and the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR Part 200). 5CHC annually engages and independent audit, and beginning in 2021-22 (due to increased federally sourced income) underwent a more rigorous Single Audit (attached). 5CHC's Single Audit for 2022-23 currently in process, and expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2023. 5CHC has participated in HMIS since 2014 and has dedicated staff to this fulfill this activity in addition to program staff. In the past year more than 5 5CHC staff members have worked with the County to assess and invest in a new HMIS system, including the current implementation task force. The agency’s Executive Director is currently serves on HSOC, and its committees and served on the steering committee for the County's Homeless Services Strategic Plan and the County's HMIS Restructuring Steering Committee .

Beginning in 2019 5CHC joined with CAPSLO to participate in Coordinated Entry as a key intake partner.

Annually 5CHC has far exceeded the number of CE's completed per contract requirements. To date for the current fiscal year (first 5 months), 5CHC has completed more than 200 CE intakes. 5CHC has also invested in the development of a secure document sharing system, ShareFile, to enable inter-agency service coordination and referral to 5CHC's housing support programs.

5CHC Homeless Services program is integrated in the local Continuum of Care, focusing on collaboration and strategic action. 5CHC is a key participant in the Coordinated Entry System receiving referrals community partners throughout the compendium of services. Additionally, 5CHC staff participate in HSOC at all levels and regularly participate in evidence-based trainings (Mental Health First Aid, etc.) 5CHC also has a program of providing staff trainings monthly with other service professionals and partner agencies. 5CHC seeks to streamline services through collaborative work with service providers throughout the County. By coordinating efforts and providing consistent services throughout the County, 5CHC ensures the ability to maximize resources and prevent duplication of services and benefits.

While 5CHC did not secure letters of support for this application, each City in the County (with the exception of Atascadero) has supported 5CHC RRH and HP activities through its CDBG allocation. In addition the Cities in South County ()A.G., GB, and PB) each contribute through other grant or GF support. 5CHC engages with a broad spectrum of community partners to assist those needing housing assistance. In particular 5CHC, ECHO and CAPSLO, as part of the coordinated entry system. However, with the influx of COVID funding the last two years, 5CHC has built an even more extensive referral network consisting over more than 10 partner agencies, including CAPSLO, ECHO, Transition Mental Health Association, the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo, Lumina Alliance, San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation, and Family Resource Centers throughout the County. 5CHC has become the hub for Rapid Re-housing and Homeless Prevention services, serving clients from San Miguel to Cambria to Nipomo with the help of our partners. Agencies refer prospective clients to be screened for eligibility for for RRH/HP assistance through 5CHC; this referral network has allowed us to maximize our resources, coordinate efforts, and avoid duplication of services and benefits.

Based on our request of $92,333 compared to a current grant of $41,871; we anticipate serving not less than 10 additional households. Our current contract calls for serving 6 households with $41,871. With the $50,000 increase requested, we seek to provide assistance to not less than 16 households. That said, our track record to maximize use of these funds has traditionally resulted in actual outcomes more than 30% above goal. With these funds, we would seek to do the same, while ensuring that families housing is stabilized and they have the resources to maintain their housing.

Through the Coordinated Entry assessment, clients are asked whether they are homeless, length of time homeless, etc.

5CHC is a member of the Coordinated Entry collaborative, a system utilized by Homeless Service Providers throughout the County that provides a standardized intake assessment and referrals to ensure a more consistent and streamlined experience for those seeking services. During this initial intake, clients complete a comprehensive needs assessment, identify barriers to employment or housing, and develop an immediate action plan. Additionally, this assessment provides an opportunity to identify what services or resources a client is already connected to in an effort to reduce duplication of services. Clients are screened for homeless status (homeless certification forms) and income eligibility.

1.Describe the applicant’s history of receiving and managing grants from County/State/Federal sources.

2.Briefly describe your organization’s auditing requirements, including those for the proposed project. (As outlined in 2 CFR § 200.500)

3.Describe how the organization participates in HMIS, Coordinated Entry, and the San Luis Obispo County Continuum of Care.

Since its inception in 1965, CAPSLO has received and successfully managed a variety of grants that address the unmet needs of low-income and vulnerable individuals and families. Below are examples of grants received from County, State, and Federal sources.

County - Includes but is not limited to, over 20 years of funding from CBO/PHG, DSS, and CDBG funding.

Also ESG, General Funds, and more recently Coordinated Entry, CESH, and PLHA grants.

State - Includes but is not limited to, Office of Emergency Services, Office of Child Abuse Prevention, and Community Services Block Grant funding, which designates the agency as a Community Action Agency.

Federal - The majority of CAPSLO's funding comes from the Office of Head Start, which the agency has been receiving since 1965. For over 20 years we've also received funding from the Area Agency on Aging and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP. In 2017, CAPSLO was awarded a Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant for providing services to dual-diagnosed, chronically homeless individuals in its SLO-Hub program.

CAPSLO undergoes an agency-wide, rigorous audit process annually by the firm of Brown Armstrong Certified Public Accountants. The process includes inquiry and observation to understand and evaluate CAPSLO’s internal controls, confirmations, interim testing and compliance audits, and substantive procedural analysis. Critical audit areas include compliance with federal and state awards, expenses for program and support services, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, program revenue and unearned deferred revenue, cash, property and equipment, and long-term debt.

A summary of the audit is formally presented by Brown Armstrong to both the Audit and Finance Committees of the Board, as well as the full Board of Directors and senior management.

Not applicable to this application, but CAPSLO's Homeless Services Division does participate:

CAPSLO has participated in HMIS since its inception, often taking a leadership role in assisting other agencies as they have joined in recent years. Each agency currently has a license for operation and trained program staff. In addition, CAPSLO purchased and developed ClientTrack, an advanced case management and housing solution system acquired to participate in Coordinated Entry, enabling organizations to safely share information on clients in an effort to reduce duplication of services. This tracking system is HMIS compliant and is used to collect and manage data associated with assessments on and referrals for individual clients at a higher level of detail then the county’s HMIS. CAPSLO currently uses this program for client file management, case management coordination, and service reporting both for case managed clients as well as all homeless division activities.

Projected outcome: 100% of the elderly and disabled individuals served through the Minor Repair program's CDBG funds, will remain independent and in their permanent, stable housing. This outcome is measured through a survey upon completion of services.

This is a continuing effort. The need for home repair and access-improvement services for elderly and disabled individuals is ongoing. These funds will allow us to continue to provide services to those in need, keeping them safely housed and independent.

Minor Home Repair aligns best with the county's "Line of Effort 2: Focus efforts to reduce or eliminate the barriers to housing stability for those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including prevention, diversion, supportive services, and housing navigation efforts." This project is a supportive service for one of the county's identified beneficiary groups -- older adults/medically fragile. This project keeps this population safely housed and helps prevent homelessness due to substandard housing and accessibility issues.

10. How does your program/service complement and collaborate with existing efforts in the County? Describe how the program/project will increase capacity of services/housing for persons experiencing homelessness and at-risk persons in the County.

11. Describe any consultation with local jurisdictions to gain support for the project. Describe any support you have from local jurisdictions.

12. Name partner agencies as applicable and describe how they will be participating in the delivery of the proposed activity.

Minor Home Repair is a unique service provided in the community that collaborates with other County programs serving seniors, such as DSS and In-Home Support Services. Our program, along with County senior serving programs, cross-refer to each other if additional support services are identified as being needed. We work together to ensure the safety and independence of the seniors in SLO County.

Throughout the country, we are faced with an aging population and many elderly seniors have limited financial resources. As people age in their homes, there is a growing need for support to deal with disability and limitations that arise. In addition, affordable housing remains a critical need for SLO County's low-income, elderly, and disabled population. Many of these individuals reside in housing that is substandard and in need of repairs. Additionally, both affordable housing and residential care for seniors is very limited in the county, especially for very low- and low-income individuals.

Because demand consistently exceeds available funding, there is a waiting list for these services.

This program has consistently been supported by local jurisdictions as evidenced by the many years of CDBG funding received by both SLO County and City of Pismo Beach.

As mentioned in #10 above, county senior serving agencies refer over to Minor Home Repair for services.

In addition, CAPSLO’s Energy Services works closely with other partner agencies which provide supplemental services, including Tri-Counties Regional Center, Independent Living Resource Center, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Loaves and Fishes, SLO Housing Authority, local VA Service Center, and local churches. Clients of Minor Home Repair are also referred over from other CAPSLO programs, for example, Family Preservation, an in-home parent education and direct services program where staff may serve grandparents who are guardians to their grandchildren. In providing sensitive case management type services in the home, staff can easily identify homes that are in need of repair, or are notified by clients regarding their difficulties, such as accessibility in the home, and can refer the family over.

Lastly, Area Agency on Aging is a long standing partner to this program, providing funding for Minor Home Repair for seniors, but this funding is strictly limited to small repairs with $450 or less in material expenses and only seniors (60 and older) are eligible.

Staff are hired who are bilingual/bicultural in Spanish and English in order to best serve clients in their primary language. In addition, program materials are available in English and Spanish. CAPSLO is seeing an increase in services to Mixteco speaking clients, and if needed, translation services are utilized in order for staff to be able to assist monolingual speaking individuals. In terms of accessibility, there are several CAPSLO programs, including Minor Home Repair, that provide services directly in the communities and in client's homes.

These services help remove barriers to access for underserved and isolated community members.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #11.B
SUBJECT/TITLE:

INTRODUCTION (FIRST READING) OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PISMO BEACH SELF STORAGE, LP FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 100 FIVE CITIES DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement with Pismo Beach Self Storage, LP.

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2023, the City Council approved a settlement agreement with Pismo Beach Self Storage, LP (“PBSS”) that resolved various lawsuits brought by PBSS against the City to challenge the City’s application of development impact fees to PBSS’s self- storage facility project on Five Cities Drive. Under that settlement agreement, the City is required to process a Development Agreement for the project to allow changes to Phases 2 and 3 of the project, from the currently approved industrial condominium and retail uses to recreational vehicle parking and additional self-storage uses.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65867 and Pismo Beach Municipal Code (PBMC) Section 17.48.030, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 14, 2023, to review the draft Development Agreement and provide its written recommendation to the City Council. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC- R-2023-026 (Attachment 2) recommending that the City Council approve the Development Agreement.

Under Government Code Section 65867.5, a Development Agreement must be adopted via ordinance, and the ordinance must contain findings that the Development Agreement is consistent the General Plan, and any applicable specific plans. There are no specific plans applicable to the project site.

PBMC Section 17.48.040 requires a Development Agreement to contain the following elements:

1. Duration of the agreement;

2. Permitted uses for the subject property;

3. Density or intensity of the permitted uses;

4. Approved site plans, elevations, floor plans, and sections;

5. Provisions, if any, for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes; and

6. Any other provisions required by state law.

Staff prepared the draft Development Agreement (Attachment 1.A) to incorporate these provisions, as well as other permissive provisions. The Development Agreement has also been approved as to form by legal counsel for PBSS.

Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-1
Packet Page 232

The project site is currently zoned C-2 (General Commercial), and it is designated commercial in the Pismo Marsh Planning Area of the General Plan. In 2007, the Planning Commission determined that the project was consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. Since the modifications contemplated in the development agreement are similar in nature to those approved for the project site, staff recommends that the City Council find the proposed changes to be consistent with the General Plan.

In approving the development agreement, the Council would not be approving the final layout or details of Phases 2 and 3 of the Project. Those would be returned to the Planning Commission for consideration and approval at a later date. The Development Agreement is simply a tool to vest in PBSS a right to develop the Project site with uses different than those currently approved for the site.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council introduce an Ordinance (Attachment 1) approving the Development Agreement and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. If the Council acts to introduce the Ordinance as recommended, it will be returned for adoption at the next available meeting and will become effective by statute 30 days thereafter.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of approving the development agreement itself is expected to be neutral.

However, pursuant to the settlement agreement with PBSS previously approved by the City Council, the City has received the $400,000 payment called for by that agreement, and staff anticipates the $441,000 payment required by the settlement agreement for Phase 2 of the project will be paid upon issuance of the final discretionary permit for that phase. The timing and amount of impact fees and other fees payable for Phase 3 will be dependent on when the plans for Phase 3 are submitted and on the size of the self- storage facility proposed by PBSS.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Modify and then introduce the ordinance.

2. Do not introduce the ordinance; provide direction to staff.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (hereafter “Agreement”) is made and entered into on _________________, by and between the City of Pismo Beach, a California general law city (hereafter “City”), and Pismo Beach Self-Storage, LP, a California limited partnership (hereafter “Developer”), pursuant to the authority of California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. City and Developer are sometimes individually referred to as “Party” and collectively as “Parties” in this Agreement.

RECITALS
A. WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. authorizes the City to enter into a binding agreement for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property.

B. WHEREAS, this Agreement constitutes a current exercise of the City’s police powers to provide predictability to City and Developer in the development approval process by vesting the permitted uses, density, intensity of use, and timing and phasing of development in exchange for Developer’s commitments under this Agreement.

C. WHEREAS, Developer has submitted an proposal setting forth a plan of development of real property owned by Developer within the City (the “Project”).

D. WHEREAS, in a meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Pismo Beach (“Planning Commission”) on November 14, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing pursuant to Government Code Section 65867 to consider the Agreement.

E. WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the implementation of the Project, thereby realizing the public benefits to City and private benefits to Developer. The development of the Project requires a substantial front-end investment by Developer, and substantial commitments of resources to achieve both private benefits of the Project for the Developer and the public purposes and benefits of the Project for the City. This Agreement strengthens the public planning process, encourages private participation in comprehensive planning and reduces costs of development and government.

The best interests of the citizens of the City and the public health, safety, and welfare will be served by entering into this Agreement.

F. WHEREAS, some or all of those expenditures and commitments by Developer are different than those that City could require of Developer in the normal course of granting project approvals, and as such, City and Developer wish to expressly set forth the expenditures and commitments expected of Developer. Developer is willing to pay such expenditures and commit to such actions set forth herein in return for receiving the benefits conferred on Developer by this Agreement.

G. WHEREAS, the City Council has found that, among other things, this Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practice; that this Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare; and that this Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values.

Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-8
Packet Page 239

Agreement. Except as provided within this Development Agreement, the entitlements hereinafter obtained by Developer shall exclusively control the development of the Property during the Term, including the uses of the Property, the density or intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the provisions for reservations or dedications of land for public purposes and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to the Project.

3.1.1 Parcel 005-242-073 shall be developed as recreational vehicle, watercraft, and recreational trailer storage in accordance with standards set forth in Title 17 of the City’s Coastal Zoning (1983) code (“New Phase 2”).

Except for previously permitted outdoor irrigation and during any construction activities, outdoor water use shall be prohibited in connection with New Phase 3. The site plan for New Phase 3 is attached hereto as Exhibit “C”..

3.2. Entitlements. Subject to the City’ s exercise of its police power authority and applicable limitations on development agreements in state law, the Developer shall have a vested right to: (i) receive from the City all future development approvals for the Property that are consistent with the development described in Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2; (ii) not have such approvals be conditioned or delayed for reasons which are inconsistent with this Development Agreement; and (iii) develop the Property in a manner consistent with such approvals in accordance with this Development Agreement. Any future development approvals for the Property, including without limitation general plan amendments, zoning changes, or parcel maps or tract maps, shall upon approval of the City be vested in the same manner as provided in this Development Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Developer retains the right to apportion the uses, intensities and densities, between itself and any other owners of the Property, upon the sale, transfer or assignment of any portion of the Property, so long as such apportionment is consistent with the future entitlements obtained from the City, and this Development Agreement.

3.3. Rights of City Generally.

3.3.1 City shall have a right to regulate development of the Project and use of the Property consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law. As set forth herein, “Applicable Law” shall include, but not be limited to all state and federal statutory and regulatory provisions governing use of the Property, the California Coastal Act, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and the rules, regulations and official policies of City, including the plans, municipal codes, ordinances, resolutions and other local laws, regulations, fees and policies of City in force and effect on the Effective Date. The Parties expressly agree that Pismo Beach Municipal Code Chapter 17.48 shall be applicable to the Project and this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that Chapter 17.48 applies only to parcels outside the Coastal Zone. City may apply to the Project and the Property any rule, regulation or official policy of City (including any plan, municipal code, ordinance, resolution or other local law, regulation, capital facility fee or policy of City) (each a “City Law”) that does not conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement. City shall not, however, without the written consent of Developer apply to the Project or the Property (whether by initiative, Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-9
Packet Page 240

referendum, imposition of mitigation measures not otherwise required under CEQA or otherwise) any City Law that is in conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement.

3.3.2 Nothing herein shall prevent City from applying to the Project standards contained in uniform building, construction, fire or other uniform codes, as the same may be adopted or amended from time to time by City, provided that the provisions of any such uniform code shall: (i) Apply to the Project only to the extent that such code is in effect on a City-wide basis; and (ii) With respect to those portions of any such uniform code that have been adopted by City without amendment, be interpreted and applied consistently with the generally prevailing interpretation and application of such code in California.

3.3.3 Nothing herein shall prevent City from applying to the Project those standards and specifications for public improvements (e.g., streets, storm drainage, parking lots, and driveway widths) that are in effect on a City-wide basis, as they are adopted or amended from time to time by City, provided that such standards and specifications shall apply to the Project and the Property only to the extent that they are in effect on a City-wide basis.

3.3.4 Upon Developer’s submission of any complete application for a Project approval, together with any fees permitted under Section 4 and required by City in accordance with Applicable Law, City shall use its best efforts to commence and complete promptly and diligently all steps necessary to act on the application. Developer promptly shall provide to City all information reasonably requested by City for its consideration of any such application. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section, all applications for Project approvals submitted by Developer shall be considered by City in accordance with Applicable Law.

4. Project Scope and Conditions.

4.1 In addition to such generally applicable conditions as are typically imposed in the development review process, and subject to the condition precedent that Developer receive all approvals of governmental entities required to develop the Project and that the Project is developed, Developer shall perform the following:

4.1.1. For New Phase 2, Developer shall pay as, and in complete satisfaction for planning, engineering, building permit, fire plan check and development impact fees, the lump sum of four hundred forty-one thousand dollars ($441,000.00) when Developer applies for a building permit for New Phase 2. City may not require any additional fees for the development of New Phase 2.

4.1.2. For New Phase 3, Developer shall have six months after the City’s issuance of the final discretionary permits for New Phase 3 to obtain building permits with development impact fees for New Phase 3 fixed at six thousand seven hundred sixty-one dollars ($6,761.00) per one thousand square feet of self-storage development or portion thereof with no outdoor water use.

Thereafter, the impact fees applicable to New Phase 3 shall be annually increased by a cost escalator equal to the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, all urban consumers, all items (CPI-U) for the month most recently published preceding the anniversary date of the Fixed Fee Date (as defined herein) over the same month in the preceding year(s). The first annual increase shall occur six months plus one day after the City’s issuance of the final discretionary permits for New Phase 3 (“Fixed Fee Date”), and annually thereafter.

PBSS’s obligation to City for building permit and inspection fees for New Phase 3 shall be those fees in effect at the time building permits are issued for New Phase 3.

Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-10
Packet Page 241

4.2. Developer’s obligation to perform the actions described in Section 4.1 are strictly conditioned upon approval of the respective phase of the Project as set forth in the Application by all governmental entities of proper jurisdiction as may be necessary to construct and use the Project, and development of the Project at Developer’s sole discretion.

4.3. The Parties acknowledge that the rate at which the two phases of the Project develop depends upon numerous factors and market conditions that are not entirely within Developer’s or the City’s control such as market demand, interest rates, completion schedules, availability of labor, and other factors. The Parties wish to avoid the result of Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), where the failure of the parties therein to consider and expressly provide for the timing of development resulted in the court’s determination that a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development prevailed over the parties’ agreement. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Developer shall have the right to develop the Project at such time Developer deems appropriate in the exercise of its subjective business judgment except as provided in this section below, and the City shall not attempt to limit or restrict the timing of development of the Project except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Developer shall complete both New Phase 2 and New Phase 3, not later than seven (7) years after the Effective Date. Should Developer fail to initiate construction on both New Phase 2 and New Phase 3 within this time period, absent an agreed-upon extension of this Agreement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld by City, Developer’s right to develop the Property as set forth herein shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.

5. Amendment or Cancellation.

5.1. Modification Because of Conflict with State or Federal Laws. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or require changes in plans, maps, or permits approved by the City, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement only to the extent necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions illegal or impractical to enforce. Any such amendment or suspension of the Agreement shall be approved by the City Council which approval shall be within the City Council’s reasonable discretion. If the parties cannot agree to such modification or suspension, then either party may elect any one or more of the following in any sequence:

5.1.1. To terminate this Agreement by written notice to other party;

5.1.2. To challenge the new law preventing compliance with the terms of this Agreement and extend the Term of this Agreement for the period of time required to pursue and complete such challenge. If such challenge is successful, this Agreement shall remain unmodified, except for the extension of the Term and shall remain in full force and effect.

5.2. Amendment by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be amended in writing from time to time by mutual consent of the parties to this Agreement and in accordance with the procedures of State law.

5.3. Cancellation by Mutual Consent. Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, this Agreement may be cancelled in whole or in part only by the mutual consent of the parties and Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-11
Packet Page 242

their successors in interest, in accordance with the same procedure used when entering into this Agreement.

5.4 Continuing Cooperation. The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of good faith cooperation between the City and Developer. Implementation of the Project may require minor modifications of the details of the Project and affect the performance of the Parties to this Agreement. The anticipated refinements of the Project and the development of the Property may require that appropriate clarifications and refinements are made to this Agreement with respect to the details of the performance of the City and the Developer which shall be considered by both parties in good faith. The Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to those items covered in general terms under this Agreement so long as the exercise of such flexibility does not result in a material change to either of the Parties’ reasonable expectations consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Except as the Parties may otherwise agree, no amendment of this Development Agreement shall be required in connection with the issuance of any future Project approval. Any Project approval issued during the Term as to a portion of the Property shall be incorporated automatically into this Development Agreement and vested hereby. City shall not, however, amend or issue any Project approval unless Developer requests such an amendment or issuance from City unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

6. Annual Review.

6.1. Review date Pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1, the annual review date for this Agreement (the “Review Date”) shall be one year following the Effective Date and the annual anniversary of said date each year thereafter.

6.2. Annual Review Process. The City’s Planning Division shall initiate the annual review by giving to Developer, no later than sixty (60) days following the Review Date, written notice that the City intends to undertake such review for the annual period ending with the Review Date.

Developer shall be required to pay to City such fees as are established by City Council resolution for the annual review of a development agreement, if any. Such fees shall be limited to the reasonable costs incurred by the City in conducting the Annual Review, if any. Developer shall provide evidence of good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the Planning Division within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Planning Division’s notice. The Planning Division shall review the evidence submitted by Developer and shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of Developer’s evidence, make a recommendation to the City Council either (1) that the City Council find that Developer has demonstrated good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (2) that the City Council finds that Developer has not demonstrated good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, setting forth with specificity the basis on which the Planning Division makes its recommendation of a finding of non-compliance. In the event the City Council finds that Developer has not demonstrated good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City may terminate this agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1 and the hearing requirement in Section 6.3 of this Agreement.

6.3. Hearing. The Planning Division’s recommendation shall be considered by the City Council at a regularly scheduled meeting following the City Council’s receipt of the Planning Division’s recommendation. In the event the City Council finds that Developer has not demonstrated good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City shall provide notice to Developer and provide Developer forty-five (45) days to cure and correct such Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-12
Packet Page 243

non-compliance. If Developer fails to cure and correct the non-compliance specified in the notice, the City Council shall, at the time and place set for the hearing on modification or termination, Developer shall be given an opportunity to be heard and represented. If the City Council finds, in its good faith determination based upon substantial evidence, that Developer has not materially complied with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Council may terminate or modify this agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1 to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the City’s interests under this Agreement.

6.4. Determination of Compliance. If the City Council finds and determines that the Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period under review, the review for that period shall be concluded. City shall, upon request by Developer, issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance (“Certificate”) to Developer and Developer’s mortgagee, if any, stating that after the most recent annual review and based upon the information known or made known to the City, that: (1) this Agreement remains in effect; (2) there is no pending or threatened exercise of City’s police power with respect to the Project and the Property; and (3) Developer is not in default and there are no matters that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default. The Certificate shall be in recordable form and shall contain information necessary to communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance. Developer may record the Certificate with the County Recorder. Whether or not the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or Developer and/or Developer’s mortgagee, City shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the annual review, but was intentionally concealed from or otherwise not actually or constructively known to the City.

6.5. Failure to Hold Review. In the event that City does not initiate an annual review or that the City Council does not make its determination within six months of the Review Date for a given year, then it shall be deemed conclusively that Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period under review. City shall issue a Certificate pursuant to Section 6.4 upon request of Developer.

7. Default and Notice and Cure. Default and Notice. On the occurrence of an event of default by either party, the non-defaulting party shall serve written notice of such default on the defaulting party.

If the default is not cured by the defaulting party within thirty (30) days after service of such notice of default, the non-defaulting party may then commence any legal or equitable action to enforce its rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the default cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, the non-defaulting party shall refrain from any such legal or equitable action so long as the defaulting party begins to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion. Failure to give notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default. In the case of a default by the City that results in delays to the Project, the Term shall be extended for a period of time commensurate with those delays caused by the default by the City.

8. Transfers and Assignments.

8.1. Right to Assign. Developer’s rights under this Agreement may be transferred, sold, or assigned in conjunction with the transfer, sale, or assignment of all or a portion of the Property, provided that no such partial transfer shall violate the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code Section 66410 et seq.

Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-13
Packet Page 244

8.2. Release Upon Transfer. Upon the transfer, sale, or assignment of Developer’s rights and interests hereunder pursuant to the preceding subparagraph of this Agreement, Developer shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property transferred, sold, or assigned, arising after the date of such transfer, sale, or assignment; and Developer shall be released with respect to all such assumed obligations.

9. Agreement Runs with the Land. All of the provisions, rights, terms, covenants, and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, successors, and assignees, representatives, lessees, and all other persons acquiring the Property, or any portion of the Property, or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and shall constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable laws, including, but not limited to, California Civil Code Section 1468.

10. Recordation of Development Agreement, Amendment, or Cancellation. Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City Clerk shall submit a fully-executed original of this Agreement for recording with the County Recorder. If the parties to the Agreement or their successors-in-interest amend or cancel the Agreement or if the City terminates or modifies the Agreement for failure of the Developer to comply in good faith with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Clerk shall submit for recording the notice of such action with the County Recorder.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions. The following miscellaneous provisions shall apply to this Agreement:

11.1. Further Documents. The parties agree that they will execute such other instruments and documents as are or may become necessary or convenient to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

11.2. Relationship of City and Developer. This Agreement is a contract that has been negotiated and voluntarily entered into by City and Developer. The Developer is not an agent of City. The City and Developer hereby renounce the existence of any form of joint venture or partnership between them and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any document executed in connection with this Agreement shall be construed as making the City and Developer joint venturers or partners.

11.3. Headings. All headings in this Agreement are inserted only for convenience and ease of reference and are not to be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

11.4. Attorneys’ Fees.

11.4.1 If any legal proceeding or other action is brought or threatened for the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, and the prevailing party in any such action(s) should incur any legal fees, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, paralegal fees, expert witness fees and other similar costs, the successful or prevailing party or parties to any such dispute or action shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorneys’ fees and additional legal costs incurred, together with any other relief to Attachment 1.A
Council Agenda 12-5-2023 11.B-14
Packet Page 245

which they may otherwise be entitled, as determined by a referee, judge at trial, or upon appeal or petition.

11.4.2. If any person not party to this Agreement institutes any administrative, legal or equitable action or other proceeding challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, any Project approval or the sufficiency of any review of this Agreement, or any Project approval under CEQA (each a “Third-Party Challenge”), the Parties promptly shall meet and confer as to the most appropriate response to such Third-Party Challenge. City shall tender the complete defense of any Third-Party Challenge to Developer, and upon such tender: (i) Developer shall indemnify City against any and all fees and costs of whatever description arising out of the defense of such Third-Party Challenge including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees or costs of litigation, and all financial judgments or other monetary relief awarded against City; and (ii) Developer shall control the defense and/or settlement of such Third-Party Challenge and may take any and all actions it deems necessary and appropriate in its sole discretion in connection therewith; provided, however, that Developer shall seek and secure City' s consent to any settlement of such Third-Party Challenge only if such settlement materially changes the Project or the Property, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. If Developer should fail to accept City’s tender of defense as set forth above, City shall defend such Third-Party Challenge and control the defense and/or settlement of such Third-Party Challenge as City decides (in its sole discretion), and City may take any and all actions it deems necessary and appropriate (in its sole discretion) in connection therewith.

Developer shall indemnify City against reasonable fees and costs arising out of the City’s defense of such Third-Party Challenge. In any action or proceeding challenging the approval of this Agreement, the City shall reasonably cooperate with Developer in defending such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Developer determines for any reason that it no longer intends to develop the Project, then it may deliver notice of such determination to City, and Developer shall not be liable for any defense costs incurred by City more than 90 days following the delivery of such notice.

11.4.3 Developer shall defend and indemnify City from and against any and all damages, claims, costs and liabilities arising out of the personal injury or death of any person, or damage to the property of any person, to the extent such damages, claims, costs or liabilities result from the construction of the Project by Developer or by Developer’s contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees, except as caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees, contractors, consultants or agents.

11.5 Applicable Law/Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement lies in the county of San Luis Obispo and Developer hereby consents to personal jurisdiction there for that purpose. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement specifically permit City in some instances to impose requirements upon the Project that City would not otherwise be able to impose due to a lack of nexus, rough proportionality or reasonable relationship between the Project and such requirement or other reasons. To the extent any such requirement is imposed by City upon the Project consistently with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Developer waives any right to challenge the imposition of such requirement by City.

11.6. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered personally, when received; (ii) if transmitted by facsimile, upon the generation by the transmitting facsimile machine of a confirmation that the entire document has been successfully transmitted; (iii) if sent by Attachment 1.A

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) are proposing an operational improvement project known as the U.S. 101 Five Cities Multimodal Transportation Network Enhancement Project (the Project) to address traffic impacts and delays that occur during periods of high traffic volumes on the southbound lanes of U.S. 101 through the city. The Project proposes to widen the inside shoulder of southbound U.S. 101 from the San Luis Obispo Creek Bridge north of the City in San Luis Obispo County to the Railroad Overhead within city limits.

This widening will serve as a travel lane strictly during periods of heavy traffic volumes.

Other improvements associated with the project include the installation of lane control signals, a new park-and-ride lot/multimodal hub at Mattie Road and Price Street, drainage improvements, bridge widenings, a new retaining wall near Pismo Rock, and construction and reconstruction of median barriers.

Much of the Project is located within the City of Pismo Beach’s coastal zone but also includes work in the vicinity of Pismo Creek, which is Coastal Commission (Commission) Original Jurisdiction, as well as within the County of San Luis Obispo’s coastal zone as shown in Figure 1. Accordingly, Caltrans is requesting consolidation of the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) from all three permitting agencies to be acted upon by the Commission. Pursuant to Section 30601.3 of the California Coastal Act, the Commission may process an act upon a consolidated coastal development permit from both a local government with a certified Local Coastal Program and the Commission, provided the applicant, the local government, and the Commission (Executive Director) consent to consolidate the permit action, and public participation is not substantially impaired by that review consolidation. On December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution R- 2022-112 delegating authority to approve or deny requests for Coastal Development Permit consolidation to the City Manager or their designee. However, due to the regional importance of this project, staff recommends that the City Council approve the request to consolidate the CDP for the project.

Figure 1. Five Cities Multimodal Project Jurisdictional Boundaries The City’s agreement to consolidate the permitting process for the project will allow all permitting agencies to consolidate their permits under the Commission’s permitting process. If the City Council chooses not to allow for consolidation, Caltrans would need to request CDPs from each of the permitting agencies, because the distance between the Commission’s Original Jurisdiction and the County’s jurisdiction is too great to allow consolidation alone. This would result in streamlining of permitting processes for an important regional circulation project for South San Luis Obispo County. Through staff’s discussion and coordination with Caltrans, SLOCOG, and Commission staff, those agencies understand the local community’s concerns regarding visual impacts to blue ocean views. While some barriers are increasing in height by several inches, while not losing ocean views, other barriers are being lowered. A visual simulation of these barriers has been prepared and is included as Attachment 2. All barrier modifications are necessary to ensure driver safety with changes in vehicle styles, as vehicles are generally increasing in size.

As indicated previously, pursuant to Section 30601.3 of the Coastal Act, consolidation of permit action cannot substantially impair public participation. In response, Caltrans will Council Agenda 12-5-2023 12.A-2
Packet Page 253

hold an informational workshop locally to gain public input during processing to ensure local comment is not reduced. Additionally, in discussions with Commission staff, it is anticipated that the permit will be scheduled for consideration at a local Commission meeting rather than a more remote meeting. Lastly, Caltrans completed the Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment (EIR) in September 2022, which had extensive outreach and comment. Therefore, public participation will not be substantially impaired by consolidation of permit action. Both the City and the public can comment and participate in the approval process in front of the Commission.

Environmental Review
As stated previously, Caltrans previously acted as California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Lead Agency for the Project and certified an EIR in September of 2022 (Attachment 3). The City was identified as a Responsible Agency for the EIR and provided comments throughout the process. Staff agrees with the conclusions outlined in the EIR that No Significant Impact will result from the Project.

In accordance with CEQA, it has been determined that the City Council’s authorization to consolidate CDP processing is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines regarding the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Further environmental evaluation will occur by the Commission when it considers the consolidated CDP.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Consolidated CDP applications will allow for streamlined processing of applications for the Project. The City and the public will maintain their ability to comment and participate in the approval process in front of the Commission. As such, staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) agreeing to consolidate the CDP with those of the Commission and Caltrans.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact is associated with this action.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Direct staff to process the CDP application through the City’s individual process.

2. Provide alternate direction to staff.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
for the
Pismo Congestion Relief Pilot Project
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has determined that Alternative 2 will have no significant impact on the human environment. This Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the attached Environmental Assessment, which has been independently evaluated by Caltrans and deter- mined to adequately and accurately discuss the need, environmental issues, and impacts of the proposed project and appropriate mitigation measures. It provides sufficient evidence and analysis for determining that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. Caltrans takes full responsibility for the accuracy, scope, and content of the attached Environmental Assessment.

The environmental review, consultation, and any other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by Caltrans pursuant to 23 U.S. Code 327 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated May 27, 2022 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans.

Summary
NEPA Assignment
California participated in the “Surface Transportation Project Delivery Pilot Program” (Pilot Program) pursuant to 23 U.S. Code 327 for more than five years, beginning July 1, 2007 and ending September 30, 2012. MAP-21 (P.L. 112-141), signed by President Barack Obama on July 6, 2012 amended 23 U.S. Code 327 to establish a permanent Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program. As a result, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding pursuant to 23 U.S. Code 327 (NEPA Assignment Memorandum of Understanding) with the Federal Highway Administration. The NEPA Assignment Memorandum of Understanding became effective October 1, 2012 and was renewed on May 27, 2022 for a term of 10 years. In summary, Caltrans continues to assume Federal Highway Administration responsibilities under NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act) and other federal environmental laws in the same manner as was assigned under the Pilot Program, with minor changes. With NEPA Assignment, the Federal Highway Administration assigned, and Caltrans assumed, all the U.S.

Department of Transportation Secretary’s responsibilities under NEPA. This assignment includes projects on the state highway system and Local Assistance projects off the state highway system within the State of California, except for certain categorical exclusions that the Federal Highway Administration assigned to Caltrans under the 23 U.S. Code 326 Categorical Exclusion Assignment Memorandum of Understanding, projects excluded by definition, and specific project exclusions.

Caltrans and the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments are proposing a 7-year pilot operational improvement project to address traffic delays that occur during periods of high traffic volumes on the southbound lanes of US 101 through Shell Beach and Pismo Beach. The proposed project would widen the inside shoulder of the highway from the vicinity of San Luis Obispo Creek to the railroad overhead in Pismo Beach to serve as a travel lane strictly during periods of heavy traffic vol- umes. The California Vehicle Code prohibits general purpose travel on the shoul- der of state highways. Therefore, the project is being proposed as a pilot project during its initial 7 years of operation, after which Caltrans would pursue legislative approval to make the part-time travel lane a permanent feature. If approval is not granted, the part-time travel lane would likely be reverted to a 14-foot-wide full- time shoulder. The project also proposes a new park-and-ride lot in Pismo Beach.

Soundwalls are discussed as a noise abatement feature.

Pismo Congestion Relief Pilot Project Ÿ 1
Chapter 1 Proposed Project

1.1 Introduction
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (Council of Governments) are proposing an operational improvement project to address traffic delays that occur during periods of high traffic volumes on the southbound lanes of US 101 through Shell Beach and Pismo Beach. Caltrans is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Council of Governments is a funding partner. The project would widen the inside shoulder of the highway from the vicinity of San Luis Obispo Creek to the railroad overhead in Pismo Beach to serve as a travel lane strictly during periods of heavy traffic volumes. The project also proposes a new park-and-ride lot in Pismo Beach. See Figure 1-1.

In December 2014, the Council of Governments adopted its 2014 US 101 Corridor Mobility Master Plan (Corridor Plan) after substantial public engagement.

The two most frequently referenced issues were the southbound truck lane merge near Spyglass Drive and the lack of bicycle connectivity between downtown Pismo Beach and Five Cities Drive. The Corridor Plan identified the project area as the most congested segment on the US 101 corridor in San Luis Obispo County. It also identified the need for better access to park-and-ride lots.

In January 2015, the Council of Governments and Caltrans entered into a cooperative agreement to study six alternatives that were created from combinations of features recommended in the Corridor Plan. The resultant project is being funded through the State Transportation Implementation Program, the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, and the Regional Surface Transportation Program for the year 2024 .

The California Vehicle Code prohibits general purpose travel on the shoulder of state highways. Therefore, the project is being proposed as a pilot project during its initial 7 years of operation. At the end of the 7-year evaluation period, Caltrans would pursue legislative approval to make the part-time travel lane a permanent feature. If approval is not granted, the part-time travel lane would likely be reverted to a full-time, 14-foot-wide shoulder.

1.2 Purpose and Need
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to reduce travel delays that diminish the efficient operation of US 101 through Shell Beach and Pismo Beach in the southbound direction during periods of heavy traffic volumes.

Need
US 101 within the project limits cannot efficiently manage existing traffic volumes that accumulate when large numbers of drivers exit the City of San Luis Obispo within a short period of time. This typically happens during the evening work commute, on summer weekends, and when there are popular events in the communities to the south. The result is long lines of slow or stopped traffic from south of San Luis Obispo to Pismo Beach for the period of time it takes travelers to reach their destination at these southern locations.

Traffic volumes within the project limits increase steadily throughout the day until about 5:00 p.m. when they begin to drop off rapidly. Slow and variable traffic speeds, frequently caused by weaving (lane changing) movements, prevent traffic from flowing in an efficient and consistent manner. These variable speeds are exacerbated when traffic is heavy and changing lanes becomes more challenging. The truck-climbing lane merge point and the multiple on-ramps and off-ramps contribute to these weaving movements. The consequence of heavy flows at variable speeds is that the general speed of traffic slows substantially and backups occur, causing delays to the traveling public. The project has independent utility and logical termini, as supported by the traffic study.

1.3 Project Description
US 101 is the major coastal north–south route that links the Greater Los Angeles Area, the Central Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the North Coast (Redwood Empire). For the southbound traveler, the views afforded upon reaching Shell Beach within the project limits would be the first coastal views since leaving San Francisco, over 240 miles to the north. This segment of US 101 was listed as eligible to be included in the State Scenic Highway System by a legislative action, but was never officially designated.

The existing facility is a four-lane divided freeway with two 12-foot-wide general travel lanes in both the northbound and southbound direction. The southbound lanes have an inside shoulder that varies from 5 feet in some locations to as much as 19 feet in others. (The standard width of the inside shoulder for this type of facility is 10 feet.) The outside shoulder width varies between 8 feet and the standard 10 feet. The northbound and southbound lanes are separated by an unpaved vegetated median of variable width that includes a mix of median barrier types: concrete barrier, single thrie-beam barrier, and double thrie-beam barrier. The difference in elevation between the northbound and southbound lanes can vary from a negligible amount to about 20 feet, with the northbound lanes generally being at a higher elevation.

A 600-foot-long truck-climbing lane begins just south of the San Luis Obispo Creek bridge and ends about 700 feet prior to the Spyglass Drive off-ramp.

See Figure 1-2 for the location of the project.

The project would create a new southbound part-time travel lane as a 7-year pilot project on US 101 through Shell Beach and Pismo Beach, as well as add a park-and-ride lot at Mattie Road and Price Street. Throughout the project limits, the part-time travel lane would function as a 14-foot inside shoulder when not in use, and a 12-foot lane with 2-foot shoulder when open for travel.

The lane would have a single entry point at the north end and a single exit at the south end; lane changing outside of these locations would not be allowed.

The periods when the lane would be open for travel would likely be on a regular schedule to address daily afternoon congestion, as well as unique times when traffic is heavy due to specific local events.

After 7 years of operation as a pilot project, Caltrans would pursue legislative approval to make the part-time travel lane a permanent feature. If approval is not granted, the part-time travel lane would likely be reverted to a 14-foot- wide full-time shoulder. As part of the project, Caltrans is also considering lengthening the existing truck-climbing lane or eliminating it altogether.

1.4 Project Alternatives
Under consideration are two build alternatives, one of which includes a variation on the truck-climbing lane, and the No-Build Alternative. The build alternatives are identical from the Spyglass Drive undercrossing to the Union Pacific railroad overhead. They differ mostly on their starting point at the northern end of the project limits and on the location of the part-time travel lane within the corridor up to the Spyglass Drive undercrossing.

Build Alternatives
Common Design Features of the Build Alternatives
All build alternatives include creating an additional general travel lane from the Spyglass Drive undercrossing to the Union Pacific railroad for use during peak traffic periods. The lane would be created by widening the inside (left) shoulder to 14 feet (except in the vicinity of the Pismo Rock), which would serve as a 12-foot general-purpose lane with 2-foot shoulder when open to traffic. To avoid impacts to Pismo Rock, widening at that location would occur to the outside (right side), slightly realigning the roadway around the geologic feature. To accommodate this outside widening, an approximately 1,200-foot- long retaining wall would be constructed between the freeway and Price Street, varying in height from about 5 to 15 feet tall. The wall would be topped by 36-inch-tall concrete safety barrier.

All build alternatives would require widening four bridges within the project limits to accommodate the additional lane width and updating the inside bridge railing to the current standard: at Spyglass Drive (the Shell Beach undercrossing), at Mattie Road (the North Pismo separation), at the Attachment 3

Wadsworth Avenue undercrossing, and at Pismo Creek Bridge. The slopes under the bridges would be paved at the Shell Beach undercrossing and the Wadsworth undercrossing.

With all build alternatives, 42-inch-tall concrete median barrier would be constructed or reconstructed between the northbound and southbound lanes from about 0.3 mile north of Spyglass Drive to the end of the project limits. In addition, overhead 30-foot-tall lane-use control signals showing either a red r (“X”) for “CLOSED” or a green â (“down arrow”) for “OPEN” would be installed at 2,300-foot-intervals along the length of the part-time lane, either behind the concrete barrier or integrated into it. Figure 1-3 shows a conceptual sketch of a sample lane-use control signal.

Figure 1-3 Sample of Lane-Use Control Signal
All build alternatives include a park-and-ride lot along Price Street between Mattie Road and the terminus of the Price Street off-ramp (see Figure 1-4).

This area is already being used as an informal parking area. In addition to paving an area for vehicle parking, the lot will be improved by including bike parking and bike boxes, shade trees, and newly landscaped areas to promote a more pedestrian-friendly experience.

As a safety enhancement, the project would also include at least three maintenance vehicle pull-out areas—paved areas off the roadway shoulder where maintenance vehicles can safely park—and extended gore paving at the ramps. The California Highway Patrol has also requested paved pull-outs with acceleration areas where they can monitor the part-time travel lane.

These observational areas would be about 15 feet wide and 135 feet long; about 11 would be located throughout the project limits within the inside and outside shoulders.

Unique Features of the Build Alternatives
Alternative 1
This alternative begins lane widening for the part-time travel lane on the inside shoulder about 0.3 mile north of the off-ramp for Spyglass Drive. This is also where the merge arrows for the truck-climbing lane currently begin. As the truck-climbing lane ends, the part-time travel lane would begin; there would be no change to the truck-climbing lane. Because of the elevation difference between the northbound and southbound lanes, a new retaining wall would replace the existing vegetated slope in the median about 0.5 mile north of Spyglass Drive, at about the point that the part-time travel lane would begin. The wall would be about 500 feet long and up to 15 feet tall.

Truck-climbing Lane Variation on Alternative 1
With this variation on Alternative 1, the truck-climbing lane would be extended about another 0.5 mile, ending just before the bridge at Spyglass Drive. This would create four lanes of southbound traffic along this portion. All other features described for Alternative 1 would remain the same.

Alternative 2
This alternative would shift the existing lanes such that the truck-climbing lane would be converted to a general-purpose lane and the inside (number 1) lane Attachment 3

would become the part-time travel lane. Widening for the part-time travel lane on the inside shoulder would begin just south of the San Luis Obispo Creek Bridge but would quickly merge into the existing lane configuration. The existing three-lane configuration would be maintained up to where the truck- climbing lane currently begins to terminate. At this point, widening of the inside shoulder would begin and the part-time travel lane would shift to this newly constructed lane. This alternative would include a 42-inch-tall concrete median barrier beginning at the south end of San Luis Obispo Creek Bridge and continuing for about 0.3 mile.

Transportation Demand Management and Transportation System Management and Operations Alternatives
The project is also a type of Transportation Demand Management and Transportation System Management and Operations alternative.

Transportation Demand Management is a collection of strategies aimed at maximizing traveler options. Providing travelers with travel choices—such as work location, route, time of travel, and mode of travel—can improve travel time reliability. The park-and-ride component of the project is a Transportation Demand Management strategy.

Transportation System Management and Operations incorporates lower-cost strategies and technological advances to reduce impacts to the transportation system. The part-time travel lane is the main Transportation System Management and Operations component for the project. Other components include installing closed-circuit television to video monitor the real-time opera- tions of the part-time travel lane and a vehicle detection system to monitor traffic flow and speed. A fiber optic infrastructure network will also be installed to allow fast communication of intelligent transportation system elements to and from the Transportation Management Center, where Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol monitor day-to-day traffic functions throughout the area.

In March 2020, the Council of Governments implemented the Freeway Service Patrol, a Transportation Demand Management component that is a joint project of the Council of Governments, Caltrans, and the California Highway Patrol. The service uses the forces of the California Highway Patrol and contracted towing companies to patrol US 101 from Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo to the North 4th Street interchange in Pismo Beach on a regular basis to keep traffic moving. The service, funded by the Council of Governments, helps locate and remove disabled vehicles or debris that are blocking traffic. The service would also be used to check the part-time travel lane prior to its opening each day to ensure it was clear and fully operational.

No-Build (No-Action) Alternative
Taking no action at this time would perpetuate the existing traffic delays throughout this corridor. Congestion, drive times, and resulting air quality could worsen as the population increases, and backups during peak periods could extend farther into the city of San Luis Obispo, affecting local streets. Some drivers would likely detour to other routes, such as Route 227 or Orcutt Road, increasing traffic volumes on those routes. Implementation of Senate Bill 743 has seen a new emphasis on alternative methods of addressing traffic demand, therefore it is possible that no congestion-relief freeway project at this location would be funded in the future. The focus is turning more toward regional solutions addressed by the local governments through the Regional Transportation Plan with expanded options for transit service, rideshare opportunities, and transportation choices, as well as incentives for travelers to use alternative transportation, although funding for these remains challenging.
