Agenda packet — Salinas City Council, August 4, 2026 (part 2 of 4)

8. Submittals: We have budgeted to provide one (1) formal submittal package to the Architect for initial submittal to the City and up to two (2) resubmittals to address City comments that do not result in a change to the site plan. We have not included a separate submittal to Cal Water in this scope because they typically do not require us to submit plans during entitlements. If a separate submittal to Cal Water is required, BKF can provide that as an additional service.

SCOPE QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
BKF Engineers' services are limited to those expressly set forth in the scope. We understand that BKF will have no other obligations or responsibilities for the project except as provided in this proposal letter, or as otherwise agreed to in writing. BKF will provide the scope of services consistent with, and limited to, the standard of care applicable to such services. Any participation in non-adversarial procedures, or other right to repair items, is considered as additional services. For the scope of work identified, we have assumed the following:
1) Basis of Design and Site Information
a) Topographic Survey: A current design topographic base map at a scale of 1" =20' using ground surveying methods will be provided prior to the start of design. This survey will include the location, rim, and invert of gravity utilities and location only 'dry' utilities within the project area along with evidence of other buried utilities. Please refer to the separate survey proposal dated October 28, 2024 for topographic surveying services at the 37 Soledad Street site.
b) Title Report: A current title report for the property will be provided by the owner. c) Geotechnical Report: A geotechnical report for the project will be provided. At a minimum, this report should address the required paving structural sections, earthwork and compaction recommendations, soil bearing pressures, surcharge pressures, settlement issues, soil infiltration/percolation rates, groundwater levels, and corrosion recommendations.
d) Existing Utilities: Unless otherwise indicated or provided by others, any existing utilities identified on BKF's drawings/plans are based on information obtained by BKF, or provided to BKF, and may not be accurately documented in their horizontal location or vertical profile. Other utilities may be present that were not disclosed. BKF highly recommends that critical facilities be underground service alert (USA) located and potholed during design or prior to construction.
e) Potholing: Potholing services are not included in this proposal unless specifically identified. f) Existing Utility Capacities: Unless otherwise addressed, existing utilities have adequate capacity to serve the proposed improvements, that they are adjacent to the site frontage and do not require main extensions, and that utility system capacity studies are not required.
2) Responsibilities
a) Civil Engineering Scope Items: BKF's design tasks are limited to civil work outside of the structure(s) and utility connections 5-feet outside of the structure(s) including: site grading, non-structural concrete pavement, concrete sidewalks, concrete curbs and gutters, asphalt pavement, storm drainage, wastewater, and domestic water/fire water design. BKF will provide horizontal control for the building location relative to the project boundary.
b) Architect: The Architect will be responsible for the overall site plan including accessible routes of travel, details of site accessibility signage, parking counts, site coverage calculations, trash areas/enclosures, fencing and walls. A site plan will be provided by the Architect prior to our beginning the DD phase. All work within the building (including any podium, porches, garages, or ramps) will be the Architect's scope of work.

c) Site Dry Utilities: All electric, gas, communications, and lighting improvements will be designed by others, unless specifically included in the civil scope of work. d) Fire System: Certification of the fire protection system from the point of connection at the public water main to the building sprinkler system must be provided by a properly-licensed fire protection engineer or contractor.
e) Site Landscape/Irrigation: The landscape architect will provide landscape, irrigation design, and layout and details of walks, plazas, trails, entry monuments, walls, and/or fences. The architect and landscape architect will lead the design development efforts for the design, grading, and detailing of interior courtyards, plaza areas, hardscape and landscape areas.
f) Structural Details: Structural calculations, design, and details for such items as reinforced concrete slabs, foundations, pads, vaults, footings, ramps, stairs, sound/site walls, and/or retaining walls will be provided by others. This includes structural design and detailing for storm water treatment elements that retain ground, parking, or buildings foundations.
g) Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP): All site HVAC, power, gas, communications, and low voltage improvements, and existing water pressures will be coordinated, designed, and documented by others. MEP will also provide preliminary fire service sizing based on the California Plumbing and Fire Code requirements and provide fire service lateral locations and sizes to BKF. h) Joint Trench Design: Services to the buildings, main extensions, and/or relocation of existing 'dry' utilities (gas, electric, communication, fiber, etc.) will be led by the joint trench/electrical designers unless otherwise contracted. Any utility relocation/abandonment required is assumed to be coordinated and processed by the Joint Trench Consultant. Dry utilities designed by the joint trench consultant will be shown for coordination purposes only on the civil plans.
i) Lighting Design & Photometric Analysis: Lighting design and photometric analysis for the site and public roadways will be provided by others.
j) Traffic Signal Design: Design or modification of traffic signals is not currently included in our scope of work.

BKF can provide these services if the City conditions these improvements to the project. k) Water Design: Proposal assumes that the project will require new water services for domestic, irrigation, and fire. We have not allocated budget to install public or private fire loops within the development or main extensions within the public right of way.
l) Mapping: We have not included time to prepare additional items not contained in the mapping scope of work. Additional mapping services such as subdivision maps, private easement documents, quit claims, ALTA's, right of way dedications, etc. not specifically listed in this proposal are not included. m) Cost Estimating: All cost estimating will be provided by a project estimator. BKF will review the cost estimates for general consistency with the plans.
n) Pump Stations: Pump station design (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and sitework) is not included in the basic scope of services. We can provide pump station design service as an additional scope item at your request.
o) Earthwork: Due to the variability in soils properties, existing site conditions, foundation types and preparation, trench, imported material and other factors, no delineation of earthwork quantities or 'site balance' is implied with the scope of work. Any earthwork quantities generated are solely for bonding and Docusign Envelope ID: 8FC79C5B-22E9-486D-B4BE-E4D2DCA9E299 172 999

permitting of the work with the local agency and must only be used as an approximate guide as to the actual earthwork and site balance.
3) CEQA, Entitlement, and Off-Site Improvements/Studies a) CEQA/EIR Consulting: Some jurisdictions allow project sponsors to provide technical studies to support the CEQA document and review by the sponsor of the administrative draft document. We have not included time for assisting in this effort. Should this be requested, we can provide a separate scope to support this effort. b) Conditions of Approval: The proposal is based solely on the concept site plans provided by the project architect prior to the issuance of the Project Conditions of Approval. Once available, BKF will review the project conditions and identify any that require services not contained without our base proposal along with a fee required to provide those additional services
c) Off-Site Improvements: Off-site improvements are limited to designing new curb cuts along the project frontage and construction of new curb, gutter, sidewalk, and utility services to the public mains within the fronting public roads. If additional off-site improvements are subsequently required as a result of the planning entitlement or permitting process, we will notify you of the change in scope and provide an additional service request to cover the new scope. We have assumed that the minimal public improvements currently anticipated to support this development can be design and documented with the on-site improvement plans. 4) Meetings
Meetings: Meetings are assumed to be held in the Bay Area or via remote conference. Meeting time requested beyond what we have budgeted is not included in this proposal. 5) Phasing, Delivery and Deliverables
a) Phasing: The project will be permitted and constructed in one phase and that construction phasing plan(s), or interim condition plans, will not be required for this project. Proposal does not include preparing and processing split construction permits for demolition, rough grading, backbone utilities, etc. b) Submittals: All submittals, and the coordination thereof, will be facilitated by the lead consultant and /or owner representative.

c) Permits: Unless otherwise specifically delineated in the scope of services, permit processing, applications, fees, and submittals to local, state, and federal agencies and utility purveyors will be provided by others. BKF will submit to the client delineated scope deliverables for client submission to governing agencies. d) Drawings: All drawings will be prepared in AutoCAD format. We will submit copies of all drawings in both electronic and paper format.
e) Building Information Modeling (BIM): We have not included time to convert civil 3D design or existing conditions AutoCAD files into BIM model files. We have assumed all conversions will be by the Architect.

Re: Soledad Street Properties - Entitlements Consulting 40 Soledad Street
Salinas, CA 93901
Job No. 2025.083.00
Dear Lindsey,
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide structural consultation services for the Soledad Street project in Salinas; thank you for considering Tipping for your team. This proposal is intended to support the entitlement and project planning process currently underway. We are basing this proposal on our discussions with you and your request for a proposal emailed on March 27, 2025, which included conceptual renderings of the proposed project.

We understand that the current phase of the project, covered by this proposal, will develop the plans to a schematic level for 3 separate buildings located on existing parcels at 34-40 Soledad Street, 45 Soledad Street and 37 Soledad Street. We understand that two separate entitlements packages will be submitted for approvals. Package 1 will include the work at 37 Soledad Street. Package 2 will include the work at 34-40 Soledad Street and 45 Soledad Street.

The proposed plans envision the following scope for the various properties:
• 37 Soledad Street: This is the site of the former Republic Cafe. We have proposed to perform a Historic Structures Report (HSR) as part of a separate agreement with your office. This proposal assumes that the work for the HSR and schematic entitlements design will be distinct and separate scopes under different agreements. The fees associated with this proposal assume that the HSR work under a separate agreement will proceed concurrently. The proposed plans call for the rehabilitation of the existing two-story, wood-framed building, with a possible horizontal or vertical addition to create a mixed-use structure housing a local museum with affordable housing. Our work will be to outline the structural interventions needed to stabilize, seismically strengthen, and reinforce the building frame and foundations to support the new addition.

Docusign Envelope ID: 8FC79C5B-22E9-486D-B4BE-E4D2DCA9E299 1003 176
Soledad Street Properties - Entitlements Consulting April 1, 2025 • 34-40 Soledad Street: This portion of the project includes 4 parcels that were previously combined to make one. There is a historically significant building on one of these parcels that will be maintained and rehabilitated with additions around and above it for affordable housing (a new 5 story, podium-type multifamily structure). Our work during this phase will focus on the existing structure (at 38 Soledad) and modifications required to rehabilitate and integrate it with the planned new housing structure. We may provide limited consulting related to the proposed structural assemblies envisioned for the new building, but we understand that significant structural input is not required during this phase of the project for propsed new construction.
• 45 Soledad Street: This portion of the project is located on a corner lot that is currently cleared.

The proposed plans call for a new building that is meant to approximate a previous two story building that existed on this site - with an additional 1 to 3 stories above planned as affordable housing. Our work for this project will be limited to preliminary advice on framing assemblies, foundation considerations, and column grid coordination between the lower and upper structure (which is envisioned to have a setback).

As part of this effort, we will advise on design strategies and structural assemblies, and respond to questions regarding constructibility, cost, and permitting considerations. We will coordinate design concepts with the architectural program and make recommendations as appropriate. We will meet with the design team, as may be necessary, to review and discuss design options and considerations. If geotechnical recommendations are available, we will advise on alternative foundation systems and site considerations. We will make verbal and written recommendations, and provide redline markups or diagrammatic structural sketches, and we will provide a structural narrative if requested. We will not be providing a set of drawings.

We propose to provide basic structural engineering services for the above work for the sum of $24,500.00, excluding reimbursable expenses. The work will be done in accordance with the enclosed General Conditions. We estimate our fee will be broken down by work on the various properties as follows:

Property Estimated Fee
37 Soledad $8,500.00
34-40 Soledad $12,500.00
45 Soledad $3,500.00
$24,500.00

Re: 37 Soledad Street/Republic Cafe - Historic Structures Report, Structural Upgrades and Building Shell Improvements
Dear Grant,
Thank you for this opportunity for TEF Architecture & Interior Design, Inc. (TEF, TEF Design or Design Team) to submit our proposal for architectural design and historic preservation services for improvements to the historic Republic Cafe, located at 37 Soledad Street in Salinas’ Chinatown. The overall intent of the project is to establish the building’s historic significance and integrity through the preparation of a Historic Structure Report, to understand the financial feasibility of using the property for mixed use and residential uses, and to complete structural upgrades and building shell improvements in order to bring the building to a stable and watertight condition. We understand that this project is categorized as an emergency stabilization and will be exempted from NEPA review requirements prior to the initiation of the project.

DESCRIPTION of SCOPE
The Republic Cafe was designed and constructed in 1942 and owned by the prominent local Salias Chinatown family of Wallace Ahtye. The building played an important part in the development and business district of Salinas’ Chinatown, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, and is a State and local landmark. The City of Salinas Community Development Department has recently purchased the building.

Given the extensive disrepair and extreme structural degradation of the building, the City has asked TEF to prepare a Historic Structure Report (HSR). For this effort, TEF will serve as the historical architect and lead the evaluation and report effort. We have invited Gretchen Boyce, architectural historian from Groundwork Planning (GP) and Marc Steyer, Structural Engineer from Tipping Engineers, Inc. to join our team. With limited, specific scopes, these consultants will provide a thorough building evaluation.

The primary focus of this project will be emergency stabilization structural upgrades and repairs to the building shell. Note that a full rehabilitation of the building exterior will occur at a future design phase. The intent of this phase as it pertains to the historical integrity of the building is to secure historic components to the building and to prevent their further degradation.

The base scope of work includes structural upgrades to the historic, two-story, reinforced concrete building. Additional shell improvements will be required to bring the building to a watertight and secure condition, including but not limited to:
● Select minimal demolition (including architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems) to complete structural upgrades and to ensure safety on site during construction; ● Full roof replacement, including repair or replacement of roof drainage components; ● Temporary securement of architectural components at primary west facade; attachment methods to be designed to not damage historic structure or materials (alternatively, some components 1420 Sutter Street, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94109 | TEFarch.com Docusign Envelope ID: 8FC79C5B-22E9-486D-B4BE-E4D2DCA9E299 1010 183
p. 2
may require removal and storage until a further design stage; ● Boarding up of existing facade openings (doors and windows); ● Repair of cracks, spalls, additional damage to exterior stucco and concrete exterior walls to watertight condition;
● For the purposes of budgeting, TEF will include fire sprinkler protection of the building in the schematic design costing set. If the Client elects to move forward with a Fire protection system through Construction Documents, a plumbing engineer will be brought on to the team (as an additional service with an added cost) to provide criteria documents for a design-build fire protection system (see Additional Services).
● The project will result in a cold shell structure. The building will not be conditioned, but will have code-required safety lighting and (at the option of the City) may have a fire protection system installed. Emergency lighting will be designed by the contractor on a design-build basis. Interior finishes will include plywood flooring and unfinished gypsum board walls.

In order to complete this work, the building will first be fully documented to generate as-built drawings and a civil site survey to document existing utilities, site topography etc. An existing conditions site analysis is required for both the HSR and upgrade work and will be completed in two separate visits.

Re: 37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization
37 Soledad Street
Salinas, CA 93901
Job No. 2024.294.00
Dear Maryam,
Thank you for considering Tipping for the proposed stabilization and retrofit of 37-39 Soledad Street in the historic Chinatown district of Salinas. We are delighted to work with you on this important renovation.

We have based our proposal on the scope of work described in an email from TEF Design, dated October 21, 2024 and a Market Value Appraisal Report by Pacific Appraisers dated November 22, 2022. We understand the property is part of the Chinatown Revitalization Project Plan by the City of Salinas and will ideally be preserved and improved as a cultural heritage site. The buildings are currently in poor condition, requiring stabilization. From our conversations with you, we understand that the City wishes to pursue construction of a seismic retrofit scheme as an integral part of the building stabilization, in anticipation of future improvements and use of the site.

PROJECT GOALS
As the building has been damaged by fire and neglect, and noting the historic nature of this building, the first goal is to document the existing condition of the building in a Historic Structure Report (HSR).

Following that effort, the goal will be to present options for stabilization and retrofit for future occupancy. Given that seismic renovation scope and construction costs typically vary, we understand that you will rely on Tipping providing good information and insight early in the process to inform the

team's critical decision making. We anticipate that the retrofit work would consist primarily of new seismic shear walls or frames (likely at or near the front facade), possible plywood diaphragm strengthening, out of plane concrete wall to framing connections, and other localized measures to ensure the overall stability of the building and mitigate falling hazards.

Given the uncertainty related to the required retrofit scope, this proposal specifically covers the initial seismic evaluation and schematic design phase in which a scope of structural improvements necessary to meet the client goals will be created. This scope defined in schematic design drawings will serve as the basis for future phases of the project.

SCOPE OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
The Basic Services for which Tipping Structural Engineers is responsible include the analysis, design, and documentation for the seismic improvements described above. The following is a summary of the services that we will provide through the different phases of the project. Please note that as mentioned above, the scope of this proposal is only for the initial Evaluation / Scope Definition / Schematic Design phase; however, we have outlined the expected scope of future phases (which would be part of a modified or new agreement) for your reference.

Evaluation / Schematic Design / Scope Definition
• Meet with project team to coordinate the work.
• Review any existing structural drawings, geotechnical reports, or other documents made available to us.
• Make one site visit to identify and confirm the configuration of the existing structural systems and observe details of existing construction.
• Define a limited testing program to expose, measure, and document a small sampling of existing structural elements, as necessary, to be performed by an owner-retained contractor or testing laboratory.
• Perform a formal seismic assessment of the building and identify the deficiencies that need to be addressed.
• Document existing conditions for inclusion in the HSR. • Issue a preliminary set of seismic retrofit plans, including up to 2 options, for budgeting and planning.

37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization October 28, 2024
Construction Documents
• Meet with project team to coordinate and deliver the work. • Perform engineering analysis and detailed design of seismic improvements to address noted deficiencies.
• Establish testing and inspection requirements for all structural materials and workmanship. • Prepare complete drawings, specifications, and calculations for permitting, bidding, and construction of the project.

Approvals and Bidding
• Respond to plan check comments and revise plans as necessary. • Advise and consult with client and architect during the solicitation and evaluation of contractor bids
• Issue final construction documents and addenda for construction.

Construction Administration
• Attend a pre-construction conference to answer questions about design intent or interpretation of the documents, and to examine the contractor's understanding of the project and its requirements.
• Review fabrication drawings and construction submittals for overall compliance with the structural portion of the contract documents. We assume a single round of review of complete, coordinated, and timely submittal packages that are reviewed and approved by the contractor prior to review by our office.
• Review inspection and test reports for items detailed on the structural drawings or called out in the specifications. Take necessary action on reports indicating non-conforming items. This excludes significant design revisions that may result from non-conformance with and deviations from the contract documents.
• Respond to questions from the client and/or special inspector regarding interpretation of the structural portion of the contract documents.
• Respond to contractor RFIs. This excludes redesign effort or significant changes to the approved plans due to contractor’s means and methods or requests for substitution. This also excludes the design of repair or remediation measures for damaged or inadequately performed work.

37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization October 28, 2024
• Visit the construction site at appropriate times to observe the progress of construction and its general conformance to structural drawings and specifications. We estimate that the project would include up to three (3) site visits during construction for periodic structural observation.

This excludes site visits for inspection, field coordination, troubleshooting, repair or remediation of damaged or inadequately performed work, and quality control efforts. • Prepare a record set of drawings.

EVALUATION / SCOPE DEFINITION / SCHEMATIC DESIGN: FEE
We propose to provide basic structural engineering services for the initial Evaluation / Scope Definition / Schematic Design Phase of the project for the fixed sum of $14,000.

ESTIMATED DESIGN FEES FOR FUTURE PHASES
Assuming the project proceeds with a scope of improvements outlined in our initial evaluation / schematic design phase, we would provide the scope of services outlined above for Construction Documents, Approvals and Bidding, and Construction Administration phases. In order for the client to make initial budgeting plans, we have been asked to provide a rough estimate of fees for these phases at this time. Below are these estimates, to be used for planning purposes only. Given the lack of scope definition, we emphasize that they are to be considered preliminary estimates that may change as the project develops.

Phase Estimated Fee Range
Construction Documents $16,000 - $34,000
Approvals and Bidding $2,500 - $5,000
Construction Administration $12,000 - $26,000
If you find this proposal acceptable, please sign and return a copy as our authorization to proceed.

Again, thank you for considering Tipping as part of your team for this project. We look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. 4 of 8

Subject: 37 Soledad Street, Salinas
Land Surveying Proposal
Dear Maryam:

BKF Engineers welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal for land surveying services associated with the project located at 37 Soledad Street in the City of Salinas, California. To arrive at the estimated effort required by our office for this project, we have outlined a proposed scope of services and determined a level of effort fee for each task.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: SITE MEETING

1. Existing Conditions Review: BKF will attend one (1) site meeting with the team to review the existing site constraints and conditions. We will note any potential challenges to development and confirm our scope of survey services to support the project. This task is will be performed in conjunction with the 45 Soledad Street site meeting.

TASK 2: TOPOGRAPHIC AND BOUNDARY SURVEY (37 SOLEDAD)

1. Establishment of Project Survey Control: BKF will perform a Control Survey and establish project control. Horizontal control will be based on California Coordinates System of 1983 (CCS83) relative to California Spatial Reference Network by static GPS observation. Vertical coordinates will be relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). BKF will establish suitable off-site survey control for use during the preparation of the topographic survey. Permanent control points such as mag nails with washers and cut crosses will be set at the project site as aerial survey targets. BKF will set the topographic survey control points, which will be located outside the project site and will be used by our sub-consultant as control for the initial base mapping.

2. Boundary Analysis: BKF will perform a Boundary Survey and prepare a Boundary Analysis that will define the development parcel area. While performing the field work associated with the topography, BKF will conduct field research for primary monumentation to establish boundary resolution. Once the research and reconnaissance has been completed, BKF will perform a boundary determination, which includes an analysis of the assembled evidence with respect to its relationship to the title and other documentary evidence.

3. Topographic Field Survey: Simultaneous to conducting the field reconnaissance discussed above, BKF will provide the field work to prepare a complete Topographic Map for the subject property. BKF will gather available public data and plans for the site and its surrounding improvements. The topographic survey will be comprised of the following:

EXHIBIT E
Docusign Envelope ID: 8FC79C5B-22E9-486D-B4BE-E4D2DCA9E299 1028 201

Page 2 of 4 ends

a. Terrestrial Survey - BKF will provide the field work to prepare a Topographic Map for the subject property. The limits of the topographic survey will be the subject property and the improved width of roadways along the property frontage. The topographic survey will be comprised of identified visible site features such as roadways, pavements, evidence of significant traveled ways, walls, fences, trees 6- inches and larger in diameter and visual utility infrastructure. We will obtain a succession of spot elevations to define the general terrain of the site and immediately adjacent improvements to produce mapping at a 1-foot contour interval.
b. Utilities - Utility infrastructure within the mapping limits, including sewer, water valves, hydrants, meter boxes, storm drain and marked utilities, if encountered during the course of our field survey, will also be identified. The basic routing, inverts and orientation of the on-site gravity utilities will be identified based on field evidence and any available plans provided if to BKF prior to commencement of the survey. If as-built drawings are not provided or are inconclusive when compared to the field evidence, only data at the dipped structures will be provided. c. Utility Locating - BKF’s in-house utility locators will perform utility investigation services using standard industry acceptable methods as per California Government Code section 4216 to determine the approximate horizontal position and depth of detectable subsurface utilities within the designated area (see attached Limits of Work). BKF’s field crews will use a combination of water-based paint and pin flags to mark the results of our investigation on the ground surface. BKF crews may opt to use the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), if the soil conditions will return a good signal to attempt to locate water lines and other utility lines with no tracer wires. Individual field conditions will dictate the thoroughness of our subsurface utility investigation. BKF will perform a reasonable effort to determine the location of the existing underground utility lines; however, due to technical limitations of today’s most modern equipment, no guarantee (expressed or implied) can be made. Irrigation lines, empty conduits, and abandoned utilities will not be located. Potholing and excavation are specifically excluded on this proposal. This scope of work does not include clearing areas for geotechnical boring, soil sampling, and drilling operations.
d. Mapping - BKF will produce the mapping in a reproducible hard copy and electronic format. The signed hardcopy Topographic Map will be an instrument of service. Electronic mapping will be completed in an AutoCAD format and can be transferred and used by other team consultants for their work, as a courtesy.
1) The mapping is anticipated to be compiled at 1" = 20', and will also indicate individual spot elevations at various locations throughout the site. BKF will take a series of photographs for future reference and documentation of current field conditions encountered during the time of our survey.
2) The vertical control for the survey will be tied to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), unless otherwise agreed upon in writing prior to commencement of the survey. 3) The horizontal location and rotation of the mapping is anticipated to be on an "assumed" coordinate system otherwise agreed upon in writing prior to commencement of the survey.

Note: Record of Survey
State law requires that the Surveyor of record performing the boundary resolution file a record of survey with the County if a map is not prepared as part of the project. As this project may anticipate pursuing a Tentative Parcel and Final Parcel Map for Condominium Purposes, we have currently excluded fee for this task in our scope of services. If a determination is made to eliminate pursuing filing of a map as part of the final permitting process BKF will be required to prepare and file a record of survey with the County at the expense of the owner. Recordation fees are not included in our proposal.

Re: 37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization – ASR#1 - CD-CA
Salinas, CA
Job No. 2024.294.00
Dear Maryam,
We are pleased to provide this proposal for additional services for the 37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization project. This proposal covers tasks and deliverables that are outside the scope of structural engineering services included in our original work agreement, dated August 18, 2025.

This additional services request is necessary to incorporate the design drawings, approvals and construction administration services associated with the implementation of structural stabilization measures identified as part of base scope of work in the August 18, 2025 agreement.

After visiting the site, reviewing relevant documents, drawings, and reports, and discussing the project goals with you and the client, we have identified a scope of recommended structural stabilization measures. We understand that due to funding requirements, the client now intends to complete the construction of the stabilization scope by March of 2026. As such, the design of this work is now proceeding on a faster track than originally anticipated.

The structural scope of stabilization work will include the following:
• Addition of wall to floor out-of-plane anchors at the second floor of both 37 and 39 Soledad (these were previously added at the roof level of 37 Soledad) • Addition of new plywood roof sheathing at 39 Soledad and plywood floor sheathing at the second floor of both 37 and 39 Soledad (not that plywood roof sheathing was previously added to 37 Soledad).
• Addition of a new steel moment frame and footing to provide seismic strength in the building’s transverse direction at the front facade
• Repair of damaged, rotated and detached framing at the front facade • Repair of fire damaged wood framing at the roof and front elevation Docusign Envelope ID: 8D648451-9740-4FC8-ACAC-F244B0649467 219 982
37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization – ASR#1 - CD-CA September 10, 2025 • Coordination to ensure the preservation and/or temporary removal of historic elements at the entry facade that require rehabilitation.

As part of our work, we will provide a set of structural drawings for permit and construction. We will also provide substantiating calculations. We will respond to plan check comments and incorporate changes as required. We will provide typical construction administration services such as responding to contractor requests for information, making site observations, reviewing submittals, etc.

We propose to provide basic structural engineering services for the work described above for the fixed sums indicated below. Please note that this work is being done in accordance with the Additional Services Section of our original agreement referenced above, except the fee is fixed rather than hourly.

Our fee shall be broken down by phase as follows:

Phase Total Fee
Construction Documents $37,000
Approvals and Bidding 3,000
Construction Services 18,000
Total $58,000
If this proposal meets with your approval, please return a signed copy as our authorization to proceed.

We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you. Please reach out directly if you have any questions or concerns about this additional services request.

37-39 Soledad Street Scope Clarification
This ASR also acknowledges that the design team effort in doing schematic drawings at 37-39 Soledad has exceeded our original understanding of the project in that there is still currently no decision with respect to the program of 39 Soledad: it may be either B occupancy for the whole building and represent minimal plan changes, transform to group/ transitional housing or single family at the second floor, cafe, restaurant or community space at the first floor. We have verbally agreed that the deliverables for that property will now include: 90% SD drawings and one rendering, and will not include Entitlements drawings (these are not required for the purpose of getting a building permit as per a meeting with City officials). A schematic level cost estimate has been added to the scope of work for the approved schematic design scheme. TEF will provide a cost narrative for this effort.

A schematic design scheme has been approved and the design team will proceed to bring the project forward through construction of the building, per the tasks outlined below:

Transmitted via email [email protected]
Subject: 37-39 Soledad Street, Salinas
Civil Engineering Proposal
Dear Ms. Moder:

BKF Engineers welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal for civil engineering services associated with the mixed-use project located at 37-39 Soledad Street in the City of Salinas, California. To arrive at the estimated effort required by our office for this project, we have outlined a proposed scope of services, identified assumptions, and determined a level of effort fee based on our understanding of the project.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on your proposal request and information obtained, we understand the project as follows:

The project proposes to construct Asian Cultural Experience of Salinas Museum at 37 Soledad St first floor, mezzanine, rear of second floor, and third floor. A single apartment unit is proposed at the existing second floor unit. A commercial space is proposed at 39 Soledad Street first floor (rear one story building to be demolished). Open cold shell is currently proposed at the second story.

At the time of proposal, no proposed floor plans were provided.

BKF’s scope is limited to Civil Engineering services including grading, utility connections and erosion control. These will all be completed to a construction document level suitable for City permits and construction. As this is an internal remodel, we have excluded stormwater programming scope from this project.

This proposal assumes that public improvements along the project frontages will be limited to new sidewalks, curb & gutter, driveways, and utility service laterals.

BASIS OF DESIGN
Our proposal is based on the following:

1. 37 Soledad Street survey by BKF Engineers, dated September 9th, 2025

2. 45 Soledad Street survey by BKF Engineers, dated March 18th, 2025 Docusign Envelope ID: D35B3BE8-6C11-45CA-A070-8F3E1C48400A 247 961

SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

1. Existing Conditions Review: BKF will review the existing site constraints and conditions. We will note any potential challenges to development to support the planning and permit processes.

2. Project Coordination: BKF will coordinate with the Architect and the design team regarding design concepts and electronic data exchange associated with the Permit Phase. Civil documents will be based on the digital site plan and building footprints provided by the Architect.

3. Drawings: We will be sure to prepare all civil-related items listed in the City’s submittal checklist. The following plans will be prepared for the permit submittal:
a. Civil Cover Sheet
b. Notes & Legend
c. Existing Conditions
d. Public Frontage Improvements
e. Utility Plan
f. Construction Details
g. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.

4. Design Calculations: BKF does not expect any calculations to be required for our scope.

5. Specifications: BKF will prepare technical specifications in CSI format for elements included in our scope of work.

6. Meetings: BKF has budgeted up to a maximum of sixteen (16) combined staff hours to attend meetings and participate in conference calls during the construction documents phase. Anticipated meetings include City coordination and internal coordination including a Client Review Meeting at 60% submittal. Attendance at formal hearings such as Planning Commission, City Council, would be considered as additional services and not part the scope and fee provided.

7. Submittals: BKF will provide Construction Document submittals at the 60%, 90% and 100% level of completion. We have not included time for additional intermediate coordination sets with this phase of the project. We have assumed that the 90% set will be used for the initial permit submittal. We have included a separate submittal to Cal Water in this scope

8. Project Approval: BKF will update the drawings based on agency comments and re-submit for review. We have allocated fee for up to twenty (20) combined staff hours to address minor comments that do not change the design of the civil improvements or site plan. We have assumed that no more than two plan submittals will be needed and that the agency will not be utilizing third party plan reviewers.

TASK 2: BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

1. Bidding Support: We will assist the owner with the project bidding process. This includes attending answering questions during the bidding period. BKF has allocated up to a maximum of four (4) hours of combined staff time to support the project team during the bidding phase.

2. Construction Support: BKF has allocated up to a maximum of sixteen (16) hours of combined staff time to support the contractor and design team during the construction phase of the project. Anticipated services Docusign Envelope ID: D35B3BE8-6C11-45CA-A070-8F3E1C48400A 248 962

Page 3 of 6 ends

include written response to requests for information (RFI's), submittal reviews, substitution requests, informational bulletins, attending pre-construction meetings, site visits to provide clarification of the consultant's design intent for the contractor, Architect or owner, stormwater facility construction observations, punch list walks, and record drawings. This does not include work (site visit, design, and permitting) related to field changes needed to address unknown or unforeseen conditions or changes to the design based on the contractor’s sequencing design.

SCOPE QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
BKF Engineers' services are limited to those expressly set forth in the scope. We understand that BKF will have no other obligations or responsibilities for the project except as provided in this proposal letter, or as otherwise agreed to in writing. BKF will provide the scope of services consistent with, and limited to, the standard of care applicable to such services.

Re: 37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation
37-39 Soledad Street
Salinas, CA 93901
Job No. 2024.294.01
Dear Maryam,
Thank you for considering Tipping for the proposed rehabilitation of 37-39 Soledad Street in the historic Chinatown district of Salinas. We are delighted to work with you on this important renovation.

We have worked with your office under a separate agreement to provide structural content for a Historic Structures Report and structural design work for stabilization work of the existing building.

This proposal is related to a separate but related scope of work to design interior renovations for new programming at the building as part of its adaptive reuse plans.

The existing site includes two adjoining buildings constructed in 1942, each two-stories tall and totaling approximately 9,431 square feet of interior space. 37 Soledad Street, also known as the Republic Cafe, is on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized by the State of California as a historic building. A fire in October of 2022, along with much deferred maintenance, has rendered the wood-framed buildings uninhabitable. The building shell, including the primary structure, will be improved as part of the separate stabilization project. The proposed program for the interior rehabilitation improvements includes the following:
37 Soledad:
• Asian Cultural Experience of Salinas Museum at first floor, mezzanine, rear of second floor, and third floor.
• A single apartment unit at the existing second floor unit • Design of a new interior transverse shear wall or braced frame (and associated foundations) as a voluntary seismic upgrade. This element will be integrated into the architectural space plan so as not to interrupt circulation or adversely impact the function of the space.

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
39 Soledad:
• Commercial space at first floor
• Demolition of rear one story building
• Open cold shell at second story
Given the lack of design development for the proposed program, aside for the specific voluntary seismic retrofit element (interior shear wall or braced frame), the scope of structural engineering required for the design is not clear at this time. The structural scope may be limited or non-existent for the rehabilitation, although it is possible structural consulting and design could be required for miscellaneous items such as the following:
• Framing modifications for MEP upgrades
• Trenching coordination and patch back details at SOG for new plumbing • Framing evaluation for heavy loads (servers, operable partitions, other items) • Seismic anchorage for suspended elements (soffits) or partial height walls • MEP equipment or solar anchorage
• Design of new openings or supports for improved vertical circulation (elevators)

SCOPE OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
This proposal includes structural engineering services for the scope of work described above. Our basic services consist of the analysis, design, detailing, and specifications for the structural portions of the project and include construction services to review fabrication drawings, respond to clarification requests, and make periodic observations related to structural components and systems.

Our tasks, milestones, responsibilities, and deliverables for the project at each phase are described in detail below:

Construction Documents
• Attend regularly scheduled meetings with the owner, contractor, and design team to develop design strategies and establish key parameters. • Create computational models for the proposed structural modifications and perform detailed analyses demonstrating adequacy for gravity, wind, and earthquake loading. • Review the effects of secondary or nonstructural elements and design the components 2 of 7

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
required for their support.
• Prepare complete sets of drawings, structural note specifications, and calculations documenting the structural work for bidding, approvals, and construction of the project, including progress deliverables at 60% and 90% milestones. • Establish testing and inspection requirements for all structural materials and workmanship.

Construction Administration
• Attend a pre-construction conference to answer questions about design intent or interpretation of the documents, and to examine the contractor's understanding of the project and its requirements.
• Review fabrication drawings and construction submittals for overall compliance with the structural portion of the contract documents. We assume a single round of review of complete, coordinated, and timely submittal packages that are reviewed and approved by the contractor prior to review by our office.
• Review inspection and test reports for items detailed on the structural drawings or called out in the specifications. Take necessary action on reports indicating non-conforming items. This excludes significant design revisions that may result from non-conformance with and deviations from the contract documents.
• Respond to questions from the client and/or special inspector regarding interpretation of the structural portion of the contract documents.
• Respond to contractor RFIs. This excludes redesign effort or significant changes to the approved plans due to contractor’s means and methods or requests for substitution. This also excludes the design of repair or remediation measures for damaged or inadequately performed work.
• Visit the construction site at appropriate times to observe the progress of construction and its general conformance to structural drawings and specifications. We estimate that the project would include up to two (2) site visits during construction for periodic structural observation. 3 of 7

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
This excludes site visits for inspection, field coordination, troubleshooting, repair or remediation of damaged or inadequately performed work, and quality control efforts.

FEES
Owing to the uncertainty in the scope required, we propose to provide basic structural engineering services on a time and materials basis. We estimate our fees will be in the range of $35,000-$45,000 although we caution this fee could increase somewhat significantly if extensive structural work is required (i.e. a scenario where a new elevator with pit and penthouse is required in conjunction with a new custom stair, extensive framing strengthening for equipment or occupiable roof loads, and the design and anchorage of 5 to 10 interior architectural elements such as moveable partitions, soffits, partial height walls, etc.)
If you find this proposal acceptable, please sign and return a copy as our authorization to proceed.

Again, thank you for considering Tipping as part of your team for this project. We look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Agreement for Services with California Premier Restoration to extend the term to December 31, 2026.

The City and California Premier Restoration have identified additional engineering work to be completed, as outlined in the attached Change Order (Exhibit A). Amendment No. 5 will allow the City and California Premier Restoration to complete the additional work and prepare the building for future rehabilitation and restoration work.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

Yes.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Development of the City-owned properties in Chinatown advances the City Council’s 2025-2028 Housing and Economic Development initiatives by supporting the development of mixed-use affordable housing and the revitalization of the Chinatown neighborhood.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Community Development Department is leading this effort with close coordination with Public Works and Finance Departments.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Funding for Amendment No. 4 will come from the City’s Chinatown Revitalization CIP (9070).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 14, 2025
TO: Rene Mendez, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Brinton, Director
BY: Grant Leonard, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: 34, 36, and 38 Soledad Street Emergency Fencing At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, September 22, 2025 a fire began inside 38 Soledad Street, Salinas, CA, a boarded-up building located on City-owned property. Due to the condition of the building and status of the fire, the Fire Department determined it was not safe to enter the structure and established a defensive position to monitor the fire and ensure it did not spread to neighboring structures. As a result of the fire, 38 Soledad Street was destroyed, and the adjoining buildings, 36 and 34 Soledad Street were damaged. On Saturday, September 29th, 2025, the Fire Department and Code Enforcement conducted a searched of the site with a cadaver dog that determined no humans were present in the building debris.

The City Chief Building Official and Code Enforcement department have determined that the remaining portions of the building are not structurally sound and pose a danger to the public due to the potential for collapse of the remaining building materials. See photos below.

Given the risk of collapsing building materials, it was critically important to secure the property immediately after the fire to ensure the public could not access the site or the sidewalk in front of the property. The Community Development Department has secured the site with temporary fencing from an available fencing company, JR Fencing. See photos below.

At this time, the Community Development Department seeks to move forward with an after the fact emergency procurement to secure the site after the fire and during demolition, pursuant to Section 18 of the City’s purchasing policy and Section 12-24 of the City Code, due to the urgent need to prevent injury or loss of life that could result from collapse of the remaining structure.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, P.E., C.F.M., CITY ENGINEER

GERARDO RODRIGUEZ, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
TITLE: PURCHASE OF SPEED CUSHIONS FOR TRAFFIC CALMING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix for traffic calming projects for a not to exceed total of $1,000,000 for the Traffic Calming Program CIP 9163.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Following the 2009 adoption of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, staff updated the Traffic Calming Policy and secured augmented funding in the 2026, biennial budget to address 15 of the 27 pending traffic calming requests. Under Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-03.05, purchases exceeding $250,000 require competitive sealed bids; however, Council may authorize a direct purchase if competitive bidding does not serve the City's best interest. Because Traffic Logix supplied equipment for all, but four of the traffic calming projects installed, utilizing them ensures system uniformity, reduces labor costs, and simplifies parts management. Therefore, staff recommends approving a Resolution authorizing the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix for all applicable projects under Traffic Calming Program CIP 9163 to expedite the process and installation.

BACKGROUND:

On October 6, 2009, City Council adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and established the City’s Traffic Calming Policy (Resolution No. 19674). The program was established to address traffic concerns from residential neighborhoods. Traffic calming has a range of proven benefits to a community, including reducing speeding, lowering fatality rates, decreasing injury severity, reducing traffic noise, increasing pedestrian and bicyclist safety, and improving street aesthetics. Although the program was established in 2009, the first traffic calming project was not implemented until 2016 due to lack of funding. In 2017 and following an overwhelming number of traffic calming requests received, City Council approved a prioritization criterion that would allow for ranking of requests (Resolution No. 21291). 412
Page | 2
In 2025, staff hosted two study sessions with the Traffic and Transportation Commission and two community meetings to gather feedback on proposed policy updates. The primary concern raised by residents was the excessive length of time required to implement traffic calming measures.

Over the past year, staff reviewed the existing Traffic Calming Policy to identify administrative bottlenecks and opportunities to expedite the process. The resulting policy updates focus on three key areas: refining the prioritization criteria, eliminating procedural delays, and optimizing the implementation to significantly expedite project installation.

As part of this year’s budget process, staff proposed a one-time budget augmentation for traffic calming to the Finance Committee that would allow installation of speed cushions to address 15 of the 27 pending traffic calming requests. On June 16, 2026, City Council approved the biennial budget which allocated the additional funding to traffic calming.

For general purchases, pursuant to Salinas Municipal Code (SMC) Section 12-03.05, except as otherwise directed by the City Council or pursuant to subsection (b)… whenever the amount to be expended for any purchase in excess of two hundred-fifty thousand dollars the Purchasing Agent shall advertise for sealed bids and the contract of purchase shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. A direct purchase may be authorized by the City Council if it is determined that low-bid based competition is not likely to serve the best interests of the City, yield the best value to the City, or result in the lowest price.

For the past ten years, Traffic Logix has provided speed cushions for nearly all of the City’s traffic calming installations, with only four exceptions where other traffic calming measure were used.

Continuing to purchase from this vendor serves the City's best interest and offers the highest value, as staff has secured lower pricing. Furthermore, standardizing equipment across the City reduces maintenance expenses and streamlines ordering of parts, thereby reducing labor costs. City Council previously authorized direct purchases from Traffic Logix in October 2019 (Resolution No. 21726) and in October 2020 (Resolution No. 21979). During the October 13, 2020 meeting, Council formally designated Traffic Logix as the sole source provider for the City’s Traffic Calming Program. To expedite the process and installation, staff, again, is requesting approval of the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix with a not to exceed of $1,000,000.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

The City of Salinas has determined that the project, installation of speed cushions, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Section 15301, Class 1) because the project consists of the operation, repair, or minor alteration of public streets involving no expansion of use. There would be no significant effect on the environment.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The City’s Traffic Calming Program supports Council goals of Infrastructure and Public Safety.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Public Works staff manages the Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Public Works staff have coordinated with the Salinas Fire Department on the selection of the speed cushions with the wheel slot gap and support of the installation. PW Staff have coordination with Salinas Police Department for temporary speed enforcement through radar feedback trailers and traffic calming enforcement assistance.

LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
TITLE: EXTENSION OF THE URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE
PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF TOBACCO RETAILERS’
LICENSES FOR THE PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED 10 MONTHS
AND 15 DAYS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to extend Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) prohibiting the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses citywide for an additional 10 months and 15 days. A four-fifths vote (i.e., five affirmative votes) is required in order for the proposed extension to take effect.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The proposed extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) will prolong the temporary moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses citywide for an additional 10 months and 15 days, to allow the City additional time to study best practices and develop a more comprehensive regulatory framework for tobacco retailers. The extension would not affect existing licenses or the renewal of existing licenses. The proposed extension is pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, which allows for extension of such urgency interim ordinance.

If adopted by the City Council, the moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses will be extended from August 14, 2026 to June 29, 2027. This staff report serves as the 10-day report required by California Government Code Section 65858(d).

BACKGROUND:

On June 30, 2026, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, the Salinas City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) prohibiting the issuance of Tobacco 420
Page | 2
Retailers’ Licenses for a period of 45 days. The current 45-day temporary moratorium expires on August 14, 2026.

During this initial 45-day period, City staff identified key actions the City can undertake to alleviate the threat to public health, welfare, and safety posed by the adverse effects associated with tobacco products and retailers, especially as it relates to access and exposure to minors. This includes, but not limited to, addressing licensing enforcement; reviewing best practices from other jurisdictions; analyzing police data from crime and violation patterns; and compiling and analyzing list of existing tobacco retailers in relation to population density and proximity to youth-populated areas. The proposed extension will allow the City additional time to study best practices and develop a more comprehensive regulatory framework for tobacco retailers.

If approved, the proposed extension of 10 months and 15 days for the moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses will take effect from August 14, 2026 to June 29, 2027. If needed, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, the ordinance can be extended a second time for an additional year prior to June 29, 2027.

City staff have started to engage community partners and other stakeholders as we evaluate possible changes to the issuance and the regulation of the Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses. Thus far, we have engaged with the Monterey County Health Department, Monterey County Office of Education, California Fuels & Convenience Alliance (CFCA), and other local municipalities to gather information and feedback. In the coming months, we will continue to engage these and other stakeholders to inform and guide possible changes to our existing process and policies.

This extension of the Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) directly responds to concerns Salinas residents have shared about public health, neighborhood safety, and youth exposure in areas with high concentration of tobacco retailers and smoke shops. The City does not currently have any restrictions on the proximity of tobacco retail sales to youth-populated areas such as schools, parks, recreation centers, and/or childcare centers. To address these problems, many municipalities across California have enacted limits on the number of retailers’ licenses that can be issued based on per capita and/or geographical factors.

The City is in the process of reviewing and updating its General Plan (Visión Salinas 2040) and Zoning Code (Chapter 37 of the Salinas Municipal Code), as well as its regulations on commercial cannabis businesses and tobacco retail businesses. This presents an opportunity to evaluate and to address the foregoing concerns with which the uses currently authorized by tobacco retailers’ licenses may be in conflict.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to 421
Page | 3
activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The City Council’s adoption of this urgency interim ordinance does not directly address any of the City Council’s Strategic Goals; however, the urgency interim ordinance would provide measures that help prevent youth access to tobacco products.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The City Manager’s Office coordinated with the Community Development Department and the City Attorney’s Office on the preparation of this urgency interim ordinance and this Report.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Adopting this urgency interim ordinance will have no direct fiscal impact on the General Fund.

Draft Extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance
422
ORDINANCE NO. ___________(N.C.S)
AN EXTENSION OF URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 2697(NCS) OF THE CITY OF

SALINAS, ADOPTED PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF TOBACCO RETAILERS’

LICENSES
City Attorney Summary
The proposed extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) will prolong the temporary moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses citywide for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The extension would not affect existing licenses or the renewal of existing licenses.

The proposed extension is pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, which allows for extension of such interim ordinance. If adopted by the City Council, the moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses will be extended from August 14, 2026 to June 29, 2027.

The City Council of the City of Salinas finds and declares as follows:

A. The City of Salinas is a municipal corporation duly organized as a charter city under the California Constitution and laws of the State of California.

B. The City Council has broad discretion pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the California Constitution, and the general laws of the state to adopt and enforce ordinance and regulations to protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents.

C. The City of Salinas is charged with the responsibility of ensuring the orderly and equitable enforcement of local, state and federal law.

D. California Government Code Section 65858 sets forth procedures for the adoption of an urgency interim ordinance to prohibit the approval of applications for additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, and other applicable entitlements for uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated specific plan or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study.

E. On January 6, 2015, the City of Salinas adopted an Ordinance requiring all tobacco retailers to obtain a “Tobacco Retailer License” to ensure that retailers comply with tobacco control laws and City business standards (Ord. No. 2555(NCS), § 1, 1-6-2015; Salinas Municipal Code section 16-119.1).

F. While many tobacco retailers in the City operate as grocery stores, liquor stores, gas stations, convenience stores, in recent years the City has seen an increase in the number of standalone “Smoke Shop” tobacco retail stores.
423
G. The City does not currently have any restrictions on the proximity of tobacco retail sales to youth-populated areas such as schools, parks, recreation centers, and/or childcare centers.

H. As of June 2026, there are 125 tobacco retailers in the City of Salinas. Currently, there are no limits on the number of tobacco retailers that can operate within the City.

I. In California, individuals under the age of 21 are prohibited from purchasing or using tobacco products. This regulation is based on evidence that smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease and mortality worldwide. Smokeless tobacco is also associated with increased risk for several cancers, including those of the mouth, esophagus, and pancreas.

J. A 2025 California Synar Tobacco Purchase Survey shows that tobacco stores, smoke shops, and liquor stores tend to have higher violation rates as it relates to unlawful sale of tobacco products to minors.

K. Findings from an Online California Adult Tobacco Survey (Online CATS), a survey funded by the California Department of Public Health, found that approximately half (53.3%) of Californians reported being exposed to either secondhand tobacco smoke or secondhand vape in the past two weeks in 2023.

L. The prevalence of tobacco retail establishments in the City of Salinas may contribute to various adverse effects because of the associated health risks and density to walkable areas where minors frequent. In addition, social and economic burdens due to smokingrelated illnesses place demands on community health resources and increase healthcare costs. Tobacco retailer businesses may be affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegally activity. Marketing of tobacco products is often aimed towards children featuring colorful packaging designs and sweet candy flavors.

M. The City is in the process of reviewing and updating its General Plan (Visión Salinas 2040) and Zoning Code (Chapter 37 of the Salinas Municipal Code), as well as its regulations on commercial cannabis businesses and tobacco retail businesses, to address the foregoing concerns with which the uses currently authorized by tobacco retailers’ licenses may be in conflict.

N. Considering the foregoing findings, the City Council finds there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and that approval of additional tobacco retailers’ licenses would result in and exacerbate that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

O. On June 30, 2026, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, the Salinas City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2697(NCS) prohibiting the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses for a period of 45 days.
424
P. Within the 45-day period, City staff prepared a 10-day report, as required by California Government Code Section 65858, identifying key actions the City can undertake to alleviate the threat to public health, welfare, and safety posed by the adverse effects associated with tobacco products and retailers, especially as it relates to minors. This includes, but not limited to, addressing licensing enforcement; reviewing best practices from other jurisdictions; analyzing police data from crime and violation patterns; compiling and analyzing list of existing tobacco retailers in relation to population density and proximity to youth-populated areas.

Q. Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2797(NCS) can be extended for a duration of 10 months and 15 days to allow the City additional time to study best practices and develop a more comprehensive regulatory framework for tobacco retailers.

R. The extension of this interim ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because it is an urgency interim ordinance necessary to protect the City and its residents from a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare.

S. On August 4, 2026, in accordance with State law, the City Council provided due consideration of all evidence presented and provided and held a duly noticed public heating and took testimony regarding extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2797(NCS) which will extend the moratorium on the issuance of Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses from August 14, 2026 to June 29, 2027.

SECTION 1. RECITALS.

The above recitals are true and correct and hereby adopted as the City Council’s findings.

SECTION 2: PURPOSE; APPLICABILITY.

In the interest of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the residents in the city of Salinas, it is the purpose and intent of this urgency interim ordinance to extend the temporary moratorium on the issuance of any new license, permit, or other entitlement for any tobacco retail business.

This includes any new license, permit, or other entitlement for the establishment of any new tobacco retail business falling under the definition of “Tobacco retailer” engaged in “Tobacco retailing” as defined in Chapter 7.80 of the Monterey County Code.

The extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2696(NCS) applies to all areas within the limits of the City of Salinas.
425
The City Council has authority to extend this ordinance pursuant to California Government Code section 65858 as an urgency measure prohibiting any use that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City is considering or studying.

SECTION 3: REGULATIONS.

Prohibition on the issuance of new Tobacco Retailers’ Licenses. These regulations apply during the term of this interim ordinance and any duly adopted extension of this interim ordinance, unless a specific exemption under this ordinance is applicable. This moratorium shall not apply to the renewal of an existing Tobacco Retailers’ License previously issued by the City of Salinas or the County of Monterey on behalf of the City of Salinas.

SECTION 4: ENFORCEMENT.

Any violation of this interim ordinance is unlawful and a public nuisance. In the event of a violation of this ordinance, the City may, in the discretion of the City Attorney, in addition to all other remedies, take such enforcement action as is authorized under the Salinas Municipal Code and such other enforcement action as is authorized under the law.

SECTION 5: EFFECTIVE DATE.

This ordinance becomes effective immediately upon the approval of four-fifths (4/5) of the City Council and will terminate on June 29, 2027, unless extended before then by the City Council in accordance with California Government Code Section 65858.

SECTION 6: NO TAKING OF PROPERTY RIGHT INTENDED.

Nothing in this ordinance will be interpreted to affect an unconstitutional taking of the property right of any person. If the City Council determines, based on specific evidence in the administrative records, that the applicability of one or more provisions of this ordinance to a proposed project would affect an unconstitutional taking of a property right, the City Council shall disregard such provision or provisions to the extent necessary to avoid such unconstitutional taking.

SECTION 7: SEVERABILITY.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid by a court of competent, such a decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more sections, subsections, clauses, or phrases, be declared invalid. 426
SECTION 8: PUBLICATION.

The City Clerk shall cause a summary of this ordinance to be published once in a newspaper published and circulated in Salinas within fifteen (15) days after adoption. (Salinas Charter Section 11.9)

DISCUSSION:

Background:

The proposed site is owned by Northridge Plaza, LLC and is located at 2203 North Main Street [Assessor Parcel Number (APN): 253-061-025-000]. The commercial cannabis business would be located within an approximately 2,733 square-foot tenant space in the Northridge Plaza Shopping Center at the northwest corner of North Main Street and Boronda Road across Boronda Road from the Northridge Mall Shopping Center. The site consists of approximately 1.98-acres and is located in the Commercial Retail – West Boronda Road at U.S. 101 Gateway Overlay (CRGW-1) Zoning District. The following provides an overview of the land uses and zoning districts adjacent to the proposed site:

North: Multi-family Residential and Commercial/Residential High Density-West Boronda Road @ U.S. 101 (R-H-2.1-GW-1) and Commercial Retail (CR) South: Northridge Mall Shopping Center/Commercial Retail (CR) East: Multi-family Residential and Commercial/Residential High Density (R-H2.1) and Commercial Retail (CR) West: U.S. Highway 101
Commercial Cannabis Permits-Amendment Procedures

(1) The applicant shall submit all items normally required for a new application, except that information related to the principals or operations that will remain 430
Page | 3
unchanged and are not directly related to the site may be excluded. (2) The selection committee shall review the proposed new site. The selection committee may approve an amendment to the permit authorizing the new site if it can make the following findings:
a. The new site would not be located within the distances specified in Section 5-07.27, unless an exception is approved pursuant to that section. b. The relocation to the new site would not create any significant negative impacts greater than those that existed at the original site. c. The proposed location is located in an appropriate zoning district for the proposed use.
d. Owners of real property located within three hundred feet of the proposed site have been notified and have had the opportunity to provide information to the city regarding the proposed site.

Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025-004
Valley Farms has been in pursuit of relocation since 2022 as reflected in the record with the request for five (5) separate Zoning Information Letters as shown in Table 1: Zoning Information Letters.

All five (5) Zoning Information Letters are attached to this staff report. The June 3, 2026 Planning Commission Staff Report also included five letters, but one was requested by another party, while another was omitted. Table 1 has been modified to accurately reflect the record.

Valley Farms retail operations on Moffett Street were not Zoning compliant. Valley Farms dispensary was originally approved on December 28, 2017 as CCP 2017-004 under the name Emerald Skyway LLC. The original permit was connected to two other permits: CCP 2017-003 for Cultivation and CCP 2017-002 for Manufacturing. With the manufacturing permit, the retail dispensary was considered accessory. According to City records, the other two permits were not initiated. Therefore, upon abandonment of the manufacturing permit, the retail dispensary was not permitted.

Analysis:

Pursuant to State Law, the proposed site must not be located within a 600-foot radius of a day care, preschool, private/charter school or school. In addition, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-

07.27(a), no Commercial Cannabis Business may operate within 1,000 feet of any of the following sensitive uses:
(1) School, college or university (including public, private, charter, and other nontraditional schools, but excluding trade schools that exclusively serve adults at least eighteen years of age);
(2) Park, daycare center, library, or publicly-owned and operated recreational facility; (3) Church or other house of worship;
(4) Smoke-shops, hookah lounges or businesses engaged in the same or a similar activity, and locations where alcohol is sold or served for individual consumption on or off the premises;
(5) Card rooms and retail firearm sales businesses;
(6) Any other commercial cannabis business operating as a dispensary, excepting therefrom the occasional and transient operation of a commercial cannabis delivery business, or
(7) Any other public or private business or facility where the presence of the commercial cannabis activity would cause a public nuisance or other situation which may result in repeated police department response.

The proposed location at 2033 North Main Street is within a 1,000-foot radius (measured from parcel to parcel) from the ten (10) identified sensitive uses listed Municipal Code Section 5-

07.27(a)(1) and (4) and shown on Table 2: Distance to Sensitive Uses below. 432

Police Department Comments:

Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(d), no commercial cannabis business may operate within any residential area or district of the city or adjacent to a residential area or district if, in the opinion of the Chief of Police or the Community Development Director, the operation of a commercial cannabis business in such location would tend to cause a public nuisance or a situation which may result in repeated police department response or a negative impact on the adjacent residential units. Staff notes there is an existing multi-family residential development located at 95 Castro Street adjacent to the north of the site.

Per the attached Memorandum dated March 16, 2026, the Police Chief is not aware of any information or conditions sufficient to form an opinion regarding the potential of either a public nuisance or repeated Police response to result from Valley Farms’ operation of a cannabis dispensary at 2033 North Main Street.

Selection Committee’s Determination and Findings
As outlined in section 5-07.09(a)(2), the Selection Committee is required to review the proposed new location and may approve an amendment to the new location if it can establish the following findings:
433
Page | 6
a. The new site would not be located within the distances specified in section 5-07.27, unless an exception is approved pursuant to that section;
b. The relocation to the new site would not create any significant negative impacts greater than those that existed at the original site;
c. The proposed location is located in an appropriate zoning district for the proposed use; and d. Owners of real property located within three hundred feet of the proposed site have been notified and have had an opportunity to provide information to the City regarding the proposed site.

On April 13, 2026, the Selection Committee met to consider the Amendment Application and at that meeting denied the Amendment Application pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-

07.27(a)(1) because the site is located 995 feet from the Santa Rita School, at 2014 Santa Rita Street, which is less than the minimum required 1,000 feet for a sensitive use (see attached Denial Letter). During that meeting, the Selection Committee conveyed their reasons for the denial and the findings of fact upon which their decision was based to the City Attorney.

Appeal of Selection Committee denial:

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(c), an application (including a dispensary application) which has been denied based on any of the limitations set forth in Subsections 5-

07.27(a)(3) through (a)(7) may be appealed by the applicant in accordance with Section 5-07.10.

The appellate body may grant an exception to the limitations set forth in this subsection upon findings that the intent of this article would otherwise be met. No such exception will be granted, however, for the distance limitations from those uses listed in Subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2). The Amendment Application was denied by the Selection Committee based on Subsection (a)(1) because the site is within 1,000 feet of a school.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10, on April 21, 2026, the Applicant filed a timely appeal of the Selection Committee denial per the attached Appeal Letter (see Appeal Letter of the Selection Committee denial dated April 21, 2026). As per the Appeal Letter, the basis for appeal is as follows (staff response in italics):

1. Municipal Code does not specify whether the 1,000-foot distance is measured from parcelto-parcel, building-to-building, or by another method.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), for purposes of Section 5-07.27, distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the Commercial Cannabis Business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in Section 5-07.27 Subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate.
434
Page | 7

2. That the State of California pursuant to Business and Professions Code 26054(b) establishes a Statewide minimum of a 600-foot radius between a licensed cannabis retail premises and a school providing instruction in Kindergarten or Grades 1 through 12 and directs that the distance shall be measured in a manner set forth in Health and Safety Code 11362.768(c).

Staff Response: Business and Professions Code 26054(b) states the following: “A premises licensed under this division shall not be located within a 600-foot radius of a school providing instruction in kindergarten or any grades 1 through 12, daycare center, or youth center that is in existence at the time the license is issued, unless the department or a local jurisdiction specifies a different radius. The distance specified in this section shall be measured in the same manner as provided in subdivision (c) of Section 11362.768 of the Health and Safety Code unless otherwise provided by law.” Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a), the City of Salinas as a local jurisdiction has specified a 1,000-foot radius from a school for approval of Commercial Cannabis Businesses. The City’s 1,000-foot radius requirement exceeds the State’s 600-foot radius.

3. The City of Salinas failed to raise a zoning issue in a timely manner and was identified in November 2025 well into the review process.

Staff Response: Three (3) Zoning Information Letters were issued for the subject property (2033 North Main Street – APN: 253-061-025-000) on December 14, 2022, April 12, 2024, and December 15, 2025 (see attached). All three letters indicated the presence of sensitive uses including Santa Rita School at 2014 Santa Rita Street. In as early as 2022, a total of seven (7) sensitive uses were identified, including the school. Subsequently, additional sensitive alcohol related uses were also identified. It is noted that the State of California prohibits a cannabis dispensary located within 600 feet of a school; however, the Salinas Municipal Code requires a 1,000-foot separation. The Zoning Information Letters included two methodologies of measurements: one measured parcel to parcel, and the other by building to building, both of which were determined using the City’s GIS system.

See discussion below for measurement methodology pursuant to the Municipal Code.

4. That the denial rests on a five (5) foot shortfall, whereas an alternative and previously acknowledged measurement method, building-to-building, which is approximately 1,360 feet.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), measurement of a proposed Commercial Cannabis Business to a Sensitive Use is as follows:

For purposes of this section, distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the commercial cannabis business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial 435
Page | 8
cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate.

Planning Commission Consideration:

In response to the Applicant’s timely appeal of the Selection Committee’s denial of the Amendment Application, this item was scheduled for Planning Commission consideration at a public hearing on June 3, 2026. After hearing public testimony from both the Applicant and the public concerning the proposed Amendment Application, the Planning Commission by a 4-1 vote upheld the Selection Committee’s denial of Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025-004 (see Planning Commission Resolution 2025-04, Planning Commission Minutes dated June 3, 2026, and Planning Commission Staff Report dated June 3, 2026).

Appeal of Planning Commission upholding Selection Committee denial:

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(c), an application (including a dispensary application) which has been denied based on any of the limitations set forth in Subsections 5-

07.27(a)(3) through (a)(7) may be appealed by the applicant in accordance with Section 5-07.10.

In addition, pursuant to Section 5-07.10(d), the decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council in the same manner as an appeal to the Planning Commission, except that the hearing shall be set by the City Manager or his/her designee.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10, on June 9, 2026, the Applicant filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s upholding of the Selection Committee’s denial of the Amendment Application to the City Council as per the attached Appeal Letter (see Appeal Letter of the Planning Commission denial dated June 9, 2026). Per the Appeal Letter, the basis for appeal is summarized in the following (staff response in italics):

Factual and Procedural Background:

1. Valley Farms acquired an existing City-permitted dispensary in good-faith reliance on City determinations. In the appeal, the Applicant provided the following timeline. Per the Applicant, in 2020, they purchased the existing above referenced cannabis operation located at 1610 Moffett Street from the prior owners for over $3,000,000 relying on Cityissued documentation indicating that the operation was compliant. 436
Page | 9
Staff Response: The location of the previous site at 1610 Moffett Street in the Industrial Business Park (IBP) Zoning District does not permit a retail dispensary unless accessory to an IBP zoning compliant use. The Valley Farms retail operations on Moffett Street were not Zoning compliant following abandonment of the primary manufacturing use. Valley Farms dispensary was originally approved on December 28, 2017, as CCP 2017-004 under the name Emerald Skyway LLC. The original permit was connected to two other permits: CCP 2017-003 for Cultivation and CCP 2017-002 for Manufacturing. With the manufacturing permit, the retail dispensary was considered accessory. According to City records, the other two permits were not initiated. Upon abandonment of the manufacturing permit, the retail dispensary was not permitted.

2. That the City of Salinas identified the site (2033 North Main Street) as the most feasible site and confirmed its compliance. Per the Applicant, in April 2023, the City’s cannabis consultant advised that of all of the locations that they had evaluated, the site at 2033 North Main Street was the most feasible.

Staff Response: Multiple Zoning Information Letters have been prepared. All of the letters indicate proximity to sensitive uses dated back to 2022. Zoning Information Letter 2022- 011 (ZLTR 2022-011) dated December 14, 2022, which was referenced in the appeal letter stated that the proposed Commercial Cannabis Business (CCB) is located within 600-feet and 1,000-feet of sensitive uses as measured from parcel to parcel. The letter states that the site is located within 600-feet and 1,000-feet from five (5) sensitive uses as measured from building to building. As stated on Page 2 of the letter, the issuance of a “Zoning Information Letter” does not mean the written evidence of permission is given by the City or any of its officials to operate a CCB. Per Municipal Code Section 5.07.07(e), the Selection Committee shall have the authority to grant or deny an application for a commercial cannabis permit. The approval of a CCB is a discretionary action of the Selection Committee that may be appealed to the Planning Commission or the City Council.

3. The City of Salinas reversed course mid-process, applying a new measurement that produced a five-foot conflict.

Staff Response: Three (3) Zoning Information Letters were issued for the subject property (2033 North Main Street – APN: 253-061-025-000) on December 14, 2022, April 12, 2024, and December 15, 2025 (see attached). All three letters indicate the presence of sensitive uses including Santa Rita School at 2014 Santa Rita Street. In as early as 2022, a total of seven (7) sensitive uses were identified, including the school. Subsequently, additional sensitive alcohol related uses were identified. It is noted that the State of California prohibits a cannabis dispensary located within 600 feet of a school; however, the Salinas Municipal Code requires a 1,000-foot separation. The Zoning Information Letters included two methodologies of measurement: one measured parcel to parcel, and the other by building to building, both of which were determined using the City’s GIS system. See below for discussion on measurement methodology pursuant to the Municipal Code. 437
Page | 10
Argument:

4. That the denial turns on a single disputed five-foot shortfall based on an inappropriate and improper measurement methodology.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), measurement of a proposed Commercial Cannabis Business to a Sensitive Use is as follows:

For purposes of this section, distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the commercial cannabis business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate.

Therefore, measurement is from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate. In this case, the Selection Committee did not determine a different point of measure. Staff notes that as of the date of the most recent Zoning Information Letter, the proposed Commercial Cannabis Business is located within 1,000 feet of eight (8) other sensitive uses consisting of several alcohol related uses and a smoke shop. In addition, the proposed Commercial Cannabis Business is located adjacent to residential uses. The Zoning Information letters are prepared in a manner providing both measurement methodologies, subject to Selection Committee determination.

5. Properly measured under Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), the site satisfies the 1,000- foot separation.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the commercial cannabis business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate. The Selection Committee did not determine whether an alternative point of measure would be appropriate.

6. The Code does not prescribe a single mandatory measurement methodology, and the City has applied it inconsistently.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), for purposes of Section 5-07.27, 438
Page | 11
distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the Commercial Cannabis Business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in Section 5-07.27 Subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the Selection Committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate.

7. State law measures that distance parcel line to parcel line without regard to intervening structures, and the site satisfies the state standard with substantial margin.

On July 13, 2026, the Applicant e-mailed to City staff the attached Site Survey & Parcel separation for Emerald Skyway LLC prepared by Salinas Valley Surveyors dated July 10, 2026. The survey shows the minimum distance as 1,112.7 feet between the Santa Rita Elementary School District Property and the northwest corner of the Denny’s Restaurant Lease, on the boundary of Northridge Plaza Salinas of the subject property (APN: 253- 111-016-000). However, as stated above, the Municipal Code states that the minimum distance shall be measured from parcel-to-parcel, which is 995-feet (see attached measurements).

8. Valley Farms’ substantial good-faith reliance and the absence of any negative impact support reversal or, at minimum, an exception.

Staff Response: Each of the Zoning Information Letters that were provided to the Applicant stated that the issuance of a Zoning Information Letter does not mean the written evidence of permission given by the City of Salinas or any of its officials to operate a Commercial Cannabis Business (CCB) nor does it mean “permit” within the meaning of the Permit Streamlining Act, nor does it constitute an entitlement under the Zoning or Building Codes, and a regulatory permit for the purpose of regulating a CCB does not constitute a permit that runs with the land on which the CCB is established. Per Municipal Code Section 5-

07.07(e), the Selection Committee shall have the authority to either grant or deny an application for a commercial cannabis permit. Notwithstanding what is otherwise provided in this article, the Selection Committee, when approving a commercial cannabis permit, 439
Page | 12
may place any additional limitations and conditions on the operation of the business as deemed necessary, consistent with the public interest and with this article.

9. The City Council possesses the authority to grant an exception, and the equities and record warrant doing so here.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.07(g), in addition to whatever additional findings may be made by the Selection Committee (or the appellate body or the City Council in the event of an appeal initiated pursuant to this article), an application for a commercial cannabis permit may be denied upon making any of the following findings:
(1) The applicant made one or more false or misleading statements or omissions on the registration application or during the application process. (2) The applicant is not qualified to operate a commercial cannabis business. (3) The applicant fails to meet the requirements of this Article or any regulation adopted pursuant to this article.
(4) The operation of the proposed commercial cannabis business at the proposed location is prohibited by any state or local law or regulation. (5) Any person who is listed on the application is ineligible to operate a commercial cannabis business due to their criminal history as specified in subsection (b) of this Section.
(6) The applicant or the operator listed in the application is less than twenty-one years of age.
(7) The Selection Committee determines that the proposal, taken as a whole, would be unable to operate without significant impact on the community. (8) The number of businesses of the subject application type that have been approved or permitted within the City of Salinas meets or exceeds the maximum number of that respective business type specified in this article.

Public Correspondence:

Owners of real property located within 300-feet of the proposed site have been notified of this appeal and public hearing and have the opportunity to provide information to the City regarding the proposed site. The Appeal letter and other correspondence received up to the date of publication are attached to the Report. Any comments received after publication will be provided to the City Council at the meeting and will be included in the record.

Findings:

The City Council must establish findings to uphold the Planning Commission’s upholding of the Selection Committee denial of the Amendment Application. Findings for the City Council to consider, pursuant to City Code Section 5-07.09(a)(2), include the following (see attached draft denial resolution):
440
Page | 13
a. The new site would not be located within the sensitive use distances specified in Section 5-07.27, unless an exception is approved pursuant to that Section; b. The relocation of the new site would not create any significant negative impacts greater than those that existed at the original site;
c. The proposed location is located in an appropriate Zoning District for the proposed use; and
d. Owners of real property located within three hundred feet of the proposed site have been notified and have had the opportunity to provide information to the city regarding the proposed site.

Time Consideration:

The Planning Commission upheld the Selection Committee’s denial of the Amendment Application on June 3, 2026. On June 9, 2026, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10, the Applicant filed a timely appeal within 10 calendar days of the Selection Committee denial.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10(b), a public hearing before the City Council shall be scheduled within 60-days from the filing of the appeal. Per the Municipal Code, the deadline for City Council consideration is August 8, 2026.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

Alternatives Available to the City Council (Section 5-07.10(d)):

1. Affirm the Planning Commission’s upholding of the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application and deny Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025-004;

2. Reverse the Planning Commission’s upholding of the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application and approve Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025- 004; or

3. Modify the Planning Commission’s upholding of the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application and approve Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025- 441

1. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

For the Commercial Cannabis Permit (Dispensary):

2. Pursuant to City Code Section 5-07.09(a)(2), the City Council determines the following:
a. The new site is located within the sensitive distances specified in City Code Section 5-07.27, and no exception has been approved pursuant to this Section; Pursuant to State Law, the proposed site must not be located within a 600-foot radius of a day care, preschool, private/charter school or school. In addition, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a), no Commercial Cannabis Business may operate within 1,000 feet of any of the following sensitive uses:
(1) School, college or university (including public, private, charter, and other non-traditional schools, but excluding trade schools that exclusively serve adults at least eighteen years of age); (2) Park, daycare center, library, or publicly-owned and operated recreational facility;
(3) Church or other house of worship;
(4) Smoke-shops, hookah lounges or businesses engaged in the same or a similar activity, and locations where alcohol is sold or served for individual consumption on or off the premises;
445
(5) Card rooms and retail firearm sales businesses;
(6) Any other commercial cannabis business operating as a dispensary, excepting therefrom the occasional and transient operation of a commercial cannabis delivery business, or
(7) Any other public or private business or facility where the presence of the commercial cannabis activity would cause a public nuisance or other situation which may result in repeated police department response.

No exception has been approved by the City Council. The new site is located within 1,000 feet of sensitive uses pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a).

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a)(1), the site is located within 1,000 feet of a school (Santa Rita School, at 2014 Santa Rita Street). Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a)(4), the site is also located within 1,000 feet of locations of where alcohol is sold for individual consumption on or off the premises, and a smoke shop.

Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(d), no commercial cannabis business may 446
operate within any residential area or district of the city or adjacent to a residential area or district if, in the opinion of the Chief of Police or the Community Development Director, the operation of a commercial cannabis business in such location would tend to cause a public nuisance or a situation which may result in repeated police department response or a negative impact on the adjacent residential units. Staff notes there is an existing multi-family residential development located at 95 Castro Street (93 North Apartments) adjacent to the north of the site.

Per a Police Department Memorandum dated March 16, 2026, the Police Chief is not aware of any information or conditions sufficient to form an opinion regarding the potential of either a public nuisance or repeated Police response to result from Valley Farms’ operation of a cannabis dispensary at 2033 North Main Street. b. The relocation of the new site would create significant negative impacts greater than those existing at the original site;
The new site is located within 1,000 feet of sensitive uses pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a). Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a)(1), the site is located within 1,000 feet of a school (Santa Rita School, at 2014 Santa Rita Street). In addition, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(a)(4), the new site is also located within 1,000 feet of locations of where alcohol is sold for individual consumption on or off the premises, and a smoke shop. Because the site is located within an area of sensitive uses pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-

07.27(a), the relocation would create significant negative impacts greater than those existing at the original site of 1610 Moffett Street.
c. The new site is located in an appropriate Zoning District for the proposed use; and
The proposed Cannabis Dispensary with accessory Delivery and Distribution is considered a retail use, which is permitted in the Commercial Retail – West Boronda Road at U.S. 101 Gateway Overlay (CR–GW-1) Zoning District. d. Owners of real property located within 300-feet of the new site have been notified and have had the opportunity to provide information to the City regarding the proposed site.

City staff mailed public hearing notices to all property owners within 300-feet of the new site and interested parties and July 17, 2026 and posted notices on July 20, 2026. The public hearing notice was published in the Monterey County Weekly on July 23, 2026.

DISCUSSION:

Background:

North: Multi-family Residential and Commercial/Residential High Density-West Boronda Road @ U.S. 101 (R-H-2.1-GW-1) and Commercial Retail (CR) South: Northridge Mall Shopping Center/Commercial Retail (CR) East: Multi-family Residential and Commercial/Residential High Density (R-H2.1) and Commercial Retail (CR) West: U.S. Highway 101
On January 26, 2016, the Salinas City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2566 allowing for the establishment, operation and regulation of commercial cannabis businesses for the dispensing, distribution, cultivation, and manufacturing of medical marijuana and medical marijuana products. (A copy of the City Council’s January 26, 2016, Report to the City Council and of Ordinance No. 2566 (N.C.S.) are attached to this report for reference. At the time of the City Council’s adoption of Ordinance No. 2566, one medical marijuana edible manufacturing and wholesale distribution facility had begun operating in the city prior to the City’s having established any land use controls or requirements for the operation of such businesses. Ordinance No. 2566 repealed a prohibition on the establishment and operation of medical marijuana cultivation facilities and manufacturing facilities, allowed for a limited number of commercial cannabis businesses to open and to operate, provided for a competitive process for the limited number of commercial cannabis permits, and imposed operating restrictions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.

Among the regulations included in Ordinance No. 2566 were restrictions on the proximity of commercial cannabis businesses to sensitive uses.

Ordinance No. 2597 (N.C.S.) adopted on August 15, 2017, increased the maximum number of permits which may be issued in the dispensary, manufacturing, and cultivation categories; provided for an administrative process for cannabis testing facilities; and included administrative revisions to the City’s commercial cannabis regulations to reflect changes in state law and changes in the City’s implementation of the commercial cannabis business regulations. (A copy of Ordinance No. 2597 and the associated Report to the City Council are attached to this report for reference.)
b. Ordinance No. 2598 (N.C.S.) adopted on September 5, 2017, recodified several chapters and articles of the Salinas Municipal Code, including those related to the regulations on commercial cannabis businesses. No changes were made to the content of those provisions outlining the regulations on commercial cannabis businesses. (A copy of Ordinance No. 2598 (N.C.S.) and the associated Report to the City Council are attached to this report for reference.)
c. Ordinance No. 2600 (N.C.S.) adopted on November 29, 2017, updated the regulations on commercial cannabis businesses codified at Article VII of Chapter 5 of the Salinas Municipal Code. Specifically, Ordinance No. 2600 specified that businesses involving adult-use cannabis and cannabis products may operate within the city. Ordinance No. 2600 also clarified the City’s permitting structure for commercial cannabis businesses, clarified the operating requirements of various types of commercial cannabis businesses, established commercial cannabis businesses codified at Article VII of Chapter 5 of the Salinas Municipal Code.

Ordinance No. 2600 also clarified the City’s permitting structure for commercial cannabis businesses, clarified the operating requirements of various types of commercial cannabis businesses, established reasonable regulations relating to the growing of cannabis within a private residence for personal use, and included administrative changes to the regulations to reflect changes in state law and in the City’s implementation of the Salinas Municipal Code.

Police Department Comments:

Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(d), no commercial cannabis business may operate within any residential area or district of the city or adjacent to a residential area or district if, in the opinion of the chief of police or the community development director, the operation of a commercial cannabis business in such location would tend to cause a public nuisance or a situation which may result in repeated police department response or a negative impact on the adjacent residential units. Staff notes there is an existing 46-unit multi-family residential development located at 75 Nissen Drive adjacent to the site to the northwest.

Selection Committee’s Determination and Findings
As outlined in section 5-07.09(a)(2), the Selection Committee is required to review the proposed 460
Page | 7
new location and may approve an amendment to the new location if it can make the following findings:
a. The new site would not be located within the distances specified in section 5-07.27, unless an exception is approved pursuant to that section;
b. The relocation to the new site would not create any significant negative impacts greater than those that existed at the original site;
c. The proposed location is located in an appropriate zoning district for the proposed use; and d. Owners of real property located within three hundred feet of the proposed site have been notified and have had an opportunity to provide information to the City regarding the proposed site.

On April 13, 2026, the Selection Committee met to consider the Amendment Application and at that meeting denied the Amendment Application pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-

Appeal of Selection Committee denial:

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(c), an application (including a dispensary application) which has been denied based on any of the limitations set forth in Subsections 5-

07.27(a)(3) through (a)(7) may be appealed by the applicant in accordance with Section 5-07.10.

The appellate body may grant an exception to the limitations set forth in this subsection upon findings that the intent of this article would otherwise be met. No such exception will be granted, however, for the distance limitations from those uses listed in Subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2). The Amendment Application was denied based on Subsection (a)(1) because the site is within 1,000 feet of a school.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10, on April 21, 2026, the Applicant filed a timely appeal of the Selection Committee denial per the attached Appeal Letter (see Appeal Letter). As per the Appeal Letter, the basis for appeal is as follows (staff response in italics):

1. Municipal Code does not specify whether the 1,000 foot distance is measured from parcelto-parcel, building-to-building, or by another method.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), for purposes of Section 5-07.27, distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the Commercial Cannabis Business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in Section 5-07.27 Subsection (a), including any parking areas, landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the selection committee determines that different 461
Page | 8
points of measure would be appropriate.

3. The City of Salinas failed to raise a zoning issue in a timely manner and was identified in November 2025 well into the review process.

Staff Response: Three (3) Zoning Information Letters were issued for the subject property (2033 North Main Street – APN: 253-061-025-000) on December 14, 2022, April 12, 2024, and December 15, 2025 (see attached). All three letters indicated the presence of sensitive uses including the Santa Rita School at 2014 Santa Rita Street. In as early as 2022, a total of seven (7) sensitive uses were identified, including the school. Subsequently, additional sensitive alcohol related uses were also identified. It is noted that the State of California prohibits a cannabis dispensary located within 600 feet of a school; however, the Salinas Municipal Code requires a 1,000 foot separation. The Zoning Information Letters included two methodologies of measurements: one measured parcel to parcel, and the other by building to building, both of which determined by the City’s GIS system. See discussion below for measurement methodology pursuant to the Municipal Code.

4. That the denial rests on a five (5) foot shortfall, whereas an alternative and previously acknowledged measurement method, building-to-building, which is approximately 1,360 feet.

Staff Response: Per Municipal Code Section 5-07.27(i), measurement of a proposed Commercial Cannabis Business to a Sensitive Use is as follows:

For purposes of this section, distance shall be measured from the closest point of the site occupied by the commercial cannabis business and the closest point of the site occupied by the use defined in subsection (a), including any parking areas, 462
Page | 9
landscaping, and/or fencing, but excluding any areas of a parcel that is unavailable for use by the commercial cannabis business or the sensitive use. This section shall be construed to require measurement from parcel line to parcel line unless the selection committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate.

Therefore, measurement is from parcel line to parcel line unless the selection committee determines that different points of measure would be appropriate. In this case, the Selection Committee did not determine a different point of measure. Staff notes that as of the date of the most recent Zoning Information Letter, the proposed Commercial Cannabis Business is located within 1,000 feet of nine (9) other sensitive uses consisting of several alcohol related uses and a smoke shop.

Public Correspondence:

Owners of real property located within 300-feet of the proposed site have been notified of this appeal and public hearing and have the opportunity to provide information to the City regarding the proposed site. The Appeal letter and other correspondence received up to the date of publication are attached to the Report. Comments received after publication will be provided to the Commission at the meeting and will be included in the record.

Findings:

The Planning Commission must establish findings to uphold the Selection Committee’s denial of the Amendment Application. Findings for the Planning Commission to consider, pursuant to City Code Section 5-07.09(a)(2), include the following (see attached draft denial resolution):
a. The new site would not be located within the sensitive use distances specified in Section 5-07.27, unless an exception is approved pursuant to that Section; b. The relocation of the new site would not create any significant negative impacts greater than those that existed at the original site;
c. The proposed location is located in an appropriate Zoning District for the proposed use; and
d. Owners of real property located within three hundred feet of the proposed site have been notified and have had the opportunity to provide information to the city regarding the proposed site.

Time Consideration:

The Amendment Application was denied by the Selection Committee on April 13, 2026. On April 21, 2026, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-07.10, the Applicant filed a timely appeal within 10 calendar days of the Selection Committee denial. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5-

07.10(b), a public hearing before the Planning Commission shall be scheduled within 60-days from the filing of the appeal. Per the Municipal Code, the deadline for Planning Commission 463
Page | 10
consideration is June 20, 2026.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

Alternatives Available to the Commission (Section 5-07.10):

1. Affirm the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application and deny Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025-004;

2. Reverse the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application and approve Commercial Cannabis Permit 2025-004; or

3. Modify the Selection Committee’s denial of Valley Farm’s Amendment Application; or In the event of no decision, the matter would be forwarded to City Council for a final determination.
