On March 4, 2020, the State of California issued an official State of Emergency that mitigated site habitat monitoring activities as well as various personnel limitations and work from home restrictions that significantly contributed to document processing delays through the State’s termination of the State of Emergency on February 28, 2023.

Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts, and all counterparts together shall be construed as one document.
7. No Other Changes. Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, all terms of the Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Recording. Not later than ten (10) days after the Parties enter into this Second Amendment, the City Clerk of Sand City shall cause this Second Amendment to be recorded in the Official Records of Monterey County.

Letter of Intent
Our goal with this project is to install a 5.25kw solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The finished array wUl consist of 30 BP Model SX3175NQ modules mounted in a single row along the back wall of the property. The inverter used will be a SunnyBoy 5.0 US String inverter. The orray will be mounted on fixed- tilt, ground mounted racking on the existing cinder- block retaining wall. This space is currently under utilized, as it is 5 feet off the ground and useful only for growing weeds. The power generated by the PV system will power my home, but also be interconnected to the local PGE grid to support the greater area's electrical needs.
The construction should take 2-3 days, and will inconvenience no one as there is off- street parking available for the one truck we'll use on the property. All materials to be used are already onsite. Barry and I are Ucensed, insured solar installers, and have collected parts for this system over the last few years. Much Uke a mechanic that drives an old, smoking car, home builders often leave their personal properties to the last. It's about dme we use our skills to improve our own property. This system is part of the larger clean-up and development of the lots we own at 501 and 509 California Ave. Through Sand City's Facade Improvement Grant, we've already removed 6 dead vehicles and countless tons of refuse and junk. The work is ongoing, but a quick glance at the property as you dnve by wiU reveal a huge difference. This solar system wiU be the cherry on top- a Uteral gleaming testament to the progress. Thank you for your consideration.

STAFF REPORT
2024 General Plan and Housing Element Annual
Progress Reports
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Foucht, Contract City Planner
SUBJECT: Information: 2024 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports
DATE: April 15, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________
DISCUSSION
A. BACKGROUND
All jurisdictions are required to provide the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (formerly the Office of Planning and Research) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) with an annual report on the implementation of the General Plan and a separate report on the implementation of the Housing Element, per Government Code Section 65400. The reports are due by April 1 of each calendar year.
City staff has, as in previous years, submitted the Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Reports on March 31, 2025 to meet the statutory deadline of April 1st.
Attachment 1 includes a Resolution which recommends City Council acceptance of the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports for the Calendar Year 2024.
Should the City Council request any changes to the reports, staff will update and resubmit them to the State.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
General Plan Annual Progress Report
State law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the community. The law further requires each plan to include a land use element, circulation element, housing element, conservation element, open space element, noise element, and safety element. Additional elements can be included at the city's discretion.
The General Plan Annual Progress Report is an opportunity to highlight how land-use decisions relate to the adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the 36 General Plan. There is no standardized format for the preparation of the annual report.
Each jurisdiction is allowed to determine what locally relevant issues are important to include in the report.
With the exception of the adoption of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, the 2024 reporting period did not include any amendments to the City’s General Plan, nor the passage of any moratoria or emergency ordinances, related to land use. However, the City did make significant accomplishments related to major planning activities, major development applications, and Municipal Code amendments. The 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report (Attachment 2), summarizes various projects and accomplishments related to the City’s overall planning goals. The report is not intended to be exhaustive or all-inclusive; rather, it is a snapshot of the 2024 calendar year.
Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Since 1969, California has required that all local governments (cities and counties) adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. California’s local governments meet this requirement by adopting housing plans (i.e. housing elements) as part of their General Plan. General Plans serve as the local government’s "blueprint" for how the city will grow and develop and includes seven mandatory elements: land use, transportation, conservation, noise, open space, safety, and housing.
Each jurisdiction must prepare an annual progress report on the status and progress in implementing its housing element using forms and definitions adopted by HCD, per Government Code Section 65400. Each jurisdiction’s Housing Element APR must be submitted to HCD by April 1 of each year (covering the previous calendar year (CY)).
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Attachment 3) includes tables for jurisdictions to report permit activity during the prior calendar year.
C. FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no cost associated with the 2024 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports, other than staff time.

1.0 Introduction
This report is a summary of the City of Sand City’s progress in meeting the policies and programs in the City’s General Plan. This report is made available annually and captures completed and inprogress work efforts from 2024.
1.1 City Council Review
On April 15, 2025, the City Council is scheduled to review and accept the Annual Progress Report.
1.2 Compliance with Office of Land Use and Climate
Innovation’s General Plan Guidelines
The City of Sand City’s General Plan was last updated in 2002, and spanned until 2017. With the impending update of the General Plan, the City anticipates complying with all of the requirements set forth in the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation’s (formerly the Office of Planning and Research) General Plan Guidelines. The City does not have any identified disadvantaged communities and, therefore, is not required to address environmental justice in its General Plan (SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities using CalEnviroScreen 3.0 results, June 2018 Update). Although the City’s General Plan is not required to include an Environmental Justice Element, the City will include environmental justice policies throughout other relevant General Plan elements.

3.0 Current Planning
3.1 2024 Planning Activities
The following planning activities were initiated and/or continued in 2024:
Sand City 2023-2031 Housing Element - The Housing Element is one of the City’s General Plan required elements (chapters). It is a comprehensive policy document that identifies where, how, and the amount of housing Sand City needs to plan for to accommodate existing and projected housing needs for people of all income groups. In accordance with current State law, Sand City must update its Housing Element every eight years.
On July 2, 2024, the City received a Substantial Compliance Letter from HCD acknowledging the City's Adopted Housing Element is in compliance with State Housing Element Law (Gov.
Code, § 65580 et seq). Click on the links below to view the City's Adopted Housing Element and HCD's Substantial Compliance Letter.
Objective Design and Development Standards - Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS) provide a measure of clarity and predictability for potential housing developers, and provide the community with assurance that developments will conform with measurable objective standards. Several current and future State housing laws are intended to limit jurisdiction’s discretion related to the approval or denial of multi-family housing. Design review is allowed with these state laws; however, only Objective Design and Development Standards may be used.
On December 14, 2023, the consultant group Crandall Arambula presented their initial approach to the ODDS to the City’s Design Review Committee. This presentation included an overview of ODDS, an assessment of existing conditions, and an outline for next steps. During this meeting a questionnaire was provided to committee members in order to obtain feedback on the preferred community vernacular design. The information obtained from committee members during the December meeting was incorporated into a draft ODDS proposed to apply to new mixed use and multi-family residential developments within the West End District of Sand City.
On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted the ODDS.
Sand City Municipal Code Amendments - In compliance with the recently adopted Housing Element and West End Parking Plan, the City was tasked with updating the Municipal Code.
Specific chapters and ordinances of the Municipal Code that were updated are described in Section 3.2 below. The Municipal Code Amendments were adopted on February 18, 2025. 43 3.0 Current Planning 3-2 EMC Planning Group
City of Sand City 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report April 2025 Sand City Coastal Trail Project – The Sand City Coastal Trail aims to provide residents, employees, and visitors to Sand City with safe access to the coast. The City of Sand City received a grant from the California State Coastal Conservancy to prepare trail alignment and restoration plans, designs, permit applications, and environmental documentation for a 0.7-mile segment of trail in Sand City. The trail would begin at Calabrese Park in Sand City’s West End District and connect to the coast. The primary goals of the Sand City Coastal Trail are to establish a trail connecting Sand City’s West End District to the coast, enhance day-use recreational opportunities along Sand City’s coastline, ensure ADA accessibility throughout the trail, and restore and protect coastal sand dune habitat.
Sand City Multiuse Trail - The Multiuse Trail Project aims to close the gap in the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail from the intersection of Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (State Route 218) and Del Monte Avenue to the State Route 1 onramp at the northern boundary of the City.
The proposed project spans approximately one mile through the TAMC railway corridor, connecting the existing recreational trail at Del Monte Boulevard and Canyon Del Rey Boulevard in Seaside to the future MST SURF! station at Playa Avenue and California Avenue.
For most of its length, the trail will consist of two distinct paths—one 8-foot-wide path designated for pedestrians and a 12-foot-wide path for cyclists. The trail will feature extensive landscaping, creating a green belt along the City’s border. Parking facilities will be strategically placed throughout the design, ensuring easy access to the trail and nearby transit hubs, ultimately reducing traffic congestion across the City by promoting non-motorized and public transportation options.
Sand City Digital Equity Grant – The California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) provides leadership statewide to close the “Digital Divide” by accelerating the deployment and adoption of broadband to unserved and underserved communities and populations. CETF gave awards of $20,000 (Digital Equity Leadership Grants) to 36 jurisdictions in California (including Sand City) to participate in the “Local Government Best Practices Check List Project” to encourage the adoption of policies and practices that would accelerate progress in closing the Digital Divide in California.
Sand City MBARD (Monterey Bay Air Resources District) CAMP (Clean Air Management Program) Grant – On March 19, 2024, and on February 26, 2025 MBARD awarded the City a combined total of $305,000 to develop a preliminary 30 percent conceptual design for an approximately one-mile pedestrian and bicycle trail within the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) railway corridor, extending through both Sand City and the City of Seaside. On February 6, 2025, the City also received a $100,000 grant. Sand City Prohousing Designation Program – On July 1, 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the Prohousing Designation Program pursuant to California Government Code §65589.9, and subsequently updated the 44 3.0 Current Planning 3-3 EMC Planning Group
City of Sand City 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report April 2025 program regulations in January of 2024. The Program creates incentives for jurisdictions compliant with Housing Element requirements and that can demonstrate that they have enacted, or plan to enact, Prohousing policies in four category areas: Favorable Zoning and Land Use, Accelerating Production Timeframes, Reducing Construction and Development Costs, and Providing Financial Subsidies. The incentives for Sand City will, largely, be seen in favorable grant consideration.
The Prohousing Designation provides jurisdictions with incentives in the form of additional points and other preferences in several of the State’s competitive grant funding programs, including the Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC) and Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG) programs. The State continues to add incentives for additional funding programs.
City staff are currently collaborating with HCD to achieve Prohousing Designation. Sand City Economic Development Webpage - The updated Sand City website will include an economic development webpage. The economic development webpage will consist of a range of available resources aimed at supporting economic growth, primarily residential development, within the community. The economic development page will include links to resources for City zoning, building requirements, and permits, as well as incentives such as available density bonus and parking concessions available to support affordable housing. This would include visual representations and flowcharts illustrating the administrative pathway and requirements for specific development on a parcel level GIS database and would highlight 6th Cycle Housing Element sites as well as sites with streamlined permitting potential.
The economic development website would also highlight available rental units, commercial space, and vacant lots that could facilitate residential development. This includes working with partnering organizations to produce 2 (two) conceptual designs of potential affordable housing and mixed-use development sites on underutilized properties in the City (e.g. the Art Park development), along with an economic proforma to assess economic feasibility of developing those sites.
Art Park Redevelopment – The City is working with an architecture firm to study the potential to redevelop a mostly vacant, underutilized City-owned site into a community event space with artist workshops, food and beverage, and affordable multi-family units.
3.2 Municipal Code Amendments

3.3 General Plan Amendments
As described above, within the “Current Planning Activities,” the City began its efforts to amend and add to the City’s current General Plan through the preparation of the 6th Cycle Housing Element. The Housing Element is a state-mandated policy document that identifies where and how cities will accommodate existing and projected future housing needs for people of all income groups. Kick-off meetings and early progress toward the Housing Element update were initiated in 2022. Further efforts to update the Housing Element and outreach initiatives were continued throughout 2023 and 2024; culminating in adoption of the Housing Element in July 2024.
Sand City’s General Plan was last updated in 2002. The General Plan is a long-range planning document that paints a vision of how the community will grow – reflecting the community’s priorities and values while shaping the future. In compliance with Government Code section 65302, the General Plan update will include revisions to the following sections (elements): Air Quality, Circulation, Conservation, Environmental Justice, Housing (adopted), Land Use, Noise, Open Space, and Safety. Sand City anticipates initiating the update process for the General Plan, with the exception of the recently adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element, in 2026. 46 3.0 Current Planning 3-5 EMC Planning Group
City of Sand City 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report April 2025
3.4 Major Development Applications and Conditional
Use/Coastal Development Permits
In 2024, the following major development and conditional use permit applications were initiated or continued:
Citywide Incidental Take Permit (ITP) and East Dunes Habitat Area Development throughout the City, particularly in the East Dunes Residential neighborhood, has been affected by the presence of state and federally protected species, including Monterey Gilia, California Buckwheat, and Spine Flower. Consequently, the City was unable to include the East Dunes Residential neighborhood in its 6th Cycle Housing Element due to the current restriction on development within this area. To address this issue, the City is actively collaborating with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to establish a conservation area and secure an ITP that will facilitate development of the remaining vacant land outside of the designated habitat boundaries. The ITP process requires the identification of suitable habitat area to mitigate the potential impact to sensitive plant species, as well as the establishment of an endowment fund sufficient to maintain the habitat in perpetuity. Orange Avenue Residential Development
An application was submitted for a conditional use permit to build a two-story condominium containing four units, each unit with a small front yard/patio and backyard a 9,375 square-foot parcel at the southwest end of Orange Avenue (APN #011-254-013-000). The project would include 6 partially covered parking spaces and a street facing trash enclosure. The project has gone through several iterations since the original submission of the application and a final design has not yet been provided by the applicant. The applicant has prepared a reimbursement agreement with the City for both a biological and archeological site assessment. However, the City is awaiting the submission of a final grading plan from the applicant before the assessments can be scheduled.
23-007 - Food Truck Park and Community Event Space (Food Truck Park) 24-077 - Small Batch Coffee Roastery (Smooth Coffee Co) 23-009 - Monterey-Salinas Transit Bus Road (MST Surf Busway) Coastal Development Permit 24-006 - (Short-Stay RV Park) Coastal Development Permit 24-002 - allow conversion of 5,431 square feet of first floor retail commercial space to add seven (7) studio and one bedroom ground floor residential apartment units. 47 4.0 Accomplishments and Priorities 4-1 EMC Planning Group City of Sand City 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report April 2025

4.2 Priorities for 2024
The following is a list of the City’s land use priorities identified and/or initiated in 2024:
Stormwater Improvement Program – There is a lot of flooding within the West End and Downtown area. These areas were originally developed as light industrial zones without sidewalks and other infrastructure. The project will include alleviating flooding and improve the streetscape. The City of Sand City is planning the construction of the West End Stormwater Improvement Project on Contra Costa Street and Catalina Street. The Project will retrofit several blocks along both streets with Low Impact Development (LID) features to improve stormwater runoff quality, reduce pollutant discharges to the Monterey Bay, augment local groundwater, increase urban green space with trees and landscaping, and other environmental benefits. The Project will construct new bioretention facilities (rain gardens), permeable pavement, asphalt pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, curb extensions (bulb outs) at intersections with ramps and crosswalks, improve pedestrian walkability and safety, and install traffic calming measures to reduce speeds. All improvements are proposed within existing, cityowned public rights-of-way along each street. 48 4.0 Accomplishments and Priorities 4-2 EMC Planning Group City of Sand City 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report April 2025 East Dunes Incidental Take Permit (ITP) – The City is actively collaborating with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to establish a conservation area and secure an ITP that will facilitate development of the remaining vacant land outside of the designated habitat boundaries. Refer to section 3.4 for the full discussion of this project. Habitat Management Plan - The presence of environmentally sensitive habitat area presents a significant government constraint on the production of housing in Sand City. A Habitat Management Plan is a guide that facilitates appropriate development in sensitive areas by protecting and enhancing existing habitat in addition to creating new habitats in appropriate areas, and directing development to places that do not impact sensitive areas. An adopted Habitat Management Plan provides more certainty to residential developers by completing the necessary biological studies and surveys and identifying areas for development.
The City will initiate a Habitat Management Plan to provide programmatic incidental take permits for applicable properties identified in the Sites Inventory and the East Dunes area.
Additionally, the City will work with the Seaside County Sanitation District and Monterey One Water to facilitate sewer service to the East Dunes area so it is developable in the next housing cycle.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation Program 1.B: Amend the
City’s Zoning Ordinance
to align with new State
Density Bonus laws and
include 10 percent density
bonus
The City recognizes that increasing the density above the current State law thresholds will encourage maximizing the use of property for residential units and increase overall unit count. In order to further encourage residential construction, the City will also amend the zoning ordinance to increase the allowed density by 10 percent as a Prohousing measure.
Jun-25 Complete (Adopted 2/18/2025)
Program 1.C: West End
Housing Diversity Overlay
The City will continue to encourage diverse and innovative housing design and “smart growth” strategies through its Mixed-Use and Planned Unit MU-P zoning district. Currently, development standards are unclear or overly regulatory, including but not limited to: discretionary setbacks, a Conditional Use permit requirement for all multi-family developments and to increase height from 60 ft to 85 ft; and a complex local density bonus. In order to further catalyze new development, the City will create an Overlay that will supersede requirements for the underlying zoning district within the West End (see section 18.13.060).
Dec-24 Complete (Adopted 2/18/2025)
Program 1.E: Update the
General Plan
Given the age of the General Plan and the changes in the community and region since the Plan’s adoption, the City will update the General Plan which currently has lower densities than the Zoning Ordinance. Densities, as well as height limits, parking and allowed uses will all be updated to stimulate housing production including and not limited to increasing allowable residential densities.
Jul-24 RFP is under development, and will be released in Fall of 2025 (confirm with BF)
Program 1.G: Objective
Design Standards
To ensure objectivity in reviewing multi-family residential developments, the City will develop and adopt ODS for multi-family developments in the West End District, including the South of Tioga area. The City has recently begun the process of developing ODS for multi-family developments, which will be reviewed by the Design Review Committee and receive public input through a community workshop prior to City Council review and adoption.
Dec-24 Complete (Adopted 5/21/2024)
Program 1.H: Habitat
Management Plan
The City will initiate a Habitat Management Plan to provide programmatic incidental take permits for applicable properties identified in the Sites Inventory and the East Dunes area. Additionally, the City will work with the Seaside County Sanitation District and Monterey One Water to facilitate sewer service to the East Dunes area so it is developable in the next housing cycle.
The City will also pursue funding and other opportunities to secure and expand additional sewer capacity in the East Dunes area. The City will dedicate time and resources to this at least every three years during the planning period.
Jun-28 In Progress
Program 1.I: California
Housing Opportunity and
More Efficiency (HOME)
Act - SB 9
SB 9, also known as the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, is a state bill that requires cities to allow one additional residential unit on parcels zoned for single dwelling units. The City will codify SB 9 regulations to facilitate new construction. Codifying theregulations to allow new residential construction on all lots created under SB 9 with the same or similar development standards as the existing City Zoning districts provides a clear process and parity with existing lots.
Jun-26 In progress
Program 1.J: Reduce
Minimum Parking
Standards
Excessive parking standards that are not reflective of actual parking demand can pose a significant constraint to housing development by increasing development costs and reducing the potential land available for project amenities or additional units. The City’s West End Parking Plan is nearing completion and is anticipated to come before City Council in late 2023 for adoption. The draft Plan recommends shared, maximum and reduced parking for residential uses to further encourage the
development of residential units. Upon adoption, the City will update parking regulations to reflect the West End Parking Plan recommendations.
Dec-25 Complete (Adopted 2/18/25)
Program 1.P: Clarify
permit processing
Processing and permit procedures can pose a considerable constraint to the production and improvement of housing. Unclear permitting procedures add uncertainty in the development of the project, and increase overall financial risk assumed by the developer.
The Zoning Ordinance Chapter 18.76 references a variety of permit types and advisory and decision-making bodies. The regulations will be updated to simplify and clarify both the required permit type(s) for multi-family residential uses and the recommending and decision-making authorities, with the goal to minimize the levels of review and establish a permit process that takes four months or less for those projects consistent with the General Plan and zoning regulations.
Additionally, the City will develop an associated easy to read handout that clearly illustrates the process and develop a universal application for planning permits. The City will also add language to the zoning ordinance to clarify that sites which are substandard in size are buildable.
Jun-26 City staff intends to begin work on this in Fall 2025, and adopt program by June 2026

Program Implementation Status pursuant to GC Section 65583 60 Program 1.S: Changes to
Zoning Code
In an effort to increase housing development for all income categories towards meeting RHNA goals, the City of Sand City amended several sections of the Zoning Code.
Jun-25 Complete (Adopted 2/18/25)
Program 3.D: Emergency
Shelters
In 2010 the City identified the Public Facilities (PF) Zone to permit emergency shelters. However, both a design and site permit are required for construction in the Public Facilities (PF) Zoning districts where emergency shelters are a permitted use.
To comply with State law and to enable the development of emergency shelters in the PF Zone, the City will amend the Municipal Code to do the following:
▪ Remove design permit requirements for emergency shelters. However, the site permit requirement will remain in place because of the objective nature of site permit requirements such as height regulations and the City’s undertaking of Objective Design Standards; and
▪ Establish parking requirements for emergency shelters in the PF Zone consistent with AB 139, requiring only sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in the emergency shelter.
Jun-25 Complete (Adopted 2/18/25)
Program 3.E: Low Barrier
Navigation Center
Homelessness in California is a continuing and growing crisis. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness are without permanent housing largely due to a lack of affordable housing. Homelessness is often compounded by a lack of job training and supportive services to treat mental illness, substance abuse, or domestic violence. AB101 (2019) provides a pathway to permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness.
In order to comply with State law, the City will amend the Zoning Code definitions to include the definition for “Low Barrier Navigation Center” and allow it as a permitted use in the PF zoning district.
Jun-25 Complete (Adopted 2/18/25)
Program 3.H: Reduced
Fees for Affordable
Projects
Sand City fees are extremely low and have been for many years and do not currently pose a constraint to affordable projects; however, given the fee schedule was last updated in 2015 for planning permit fees and in the late 1990’s for building permit fees, the City is considering a nexus study and possibly increasing fees in the next budget cycle. Discounted or waived fees for affordable projects will form part of the fee schedule update. In addition, the City will work with outside agencies to develop a process to defer fees until the Certificate of Occupancy is ready to be issued as part of the fee schedule update.
Jun-25
A new fee schedule was adopted in May 2024, and will be revised (confirm date with BF). The City will comply with SB 937 (confirm) to defer impact fees until certificate of occupancy is administered.
Program 3.J: Employee
and Farmworker Housing
In compliance with State requirements and the Employee Housing Act, the City of Sand City will amend the Zoning Code to include a definition for employee housing that permits employee housing for six or fewer employees to be treated as a single- family structure and permitted in the same manner as other dwellings within the R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning districts.
Although the City does not have agricultural uses, and therefore, no housing designated specifically for farmworkers —the City supports the County of Monterey’s efforts to educate the public on resources that are available for agricultural workers.
Dec-24 Complete (Adopted 2/18/25)
Program 3.K: Residential
Care Facilities for
Residents with Disabilities
Residential care facilities, or group homes, are a type of supportive housing essential to residents that are living with disabilities. These facilities provide flexible and affordable housing options, and allow
persons with disabilities to live in deinstitutionalized settings in a manner that helps them integrate into local communities.
In accordance with Sections 65650 – 65656 of the Government Code, the City will make the following amendments to the zoning code:
▪ Clarify and expand the definition of residential care facilities to include “group homes” and “sober living homes;”
▪ Amend the definition of “family” so that it does not distinguish between related and unrelated persons and does not impose limitations on the number of people that may constitute a family;
▪ Amend the zoning and permitting procedures to allow seven or more persons (regardless of licensing) in all zones allowing residential uses; ▪ Replace CUP requirements with a site development permit and permit similar to other uses of the same type in the same zone; and
▪ Permit residential care facilities within the MU-P zoning district by-right, in accordance with Government Code Section 65651.
Dec-24 Complete (2/18/25)
Program 3.L: Update
Reasonable
Accommodation
Procedures in the
Municipal Code
The City will update the reasonable accommodation procedures in the Zoning Code to remove subjective language that provides a constraint to individuals with disabilities, and seniors. The City will amend the Municipal Code to remove the findings requirement for requested accommodations stating the requested accommodation will not result in a “significant impact on surrounding uses.”

Re: OPEB Actuarial Valuation Fees and Data Request
Dear Ms. Pope:
Foster & Foster would be pleased to provide the City of Sand City actuarial consulting services. This letter summarizes the project background, our fees/timing, and data requirements for a June 30, 2025 actuarial valuation on the City’s retiree healthcare plan.
Background
Foster & Foster prepared a June 30, 2023 valuation. The June 30, 2025 valuation will provide the Plan’s June 30, 2025 funded status and actuarially determined contributions (ADC) for fiscal years 2026/27 and 2027/28 and the basis for the GASBS 75 accounting information for fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27.
GASBS 75 accounting information for each fiscal year will be provided in a separate report. The GASBS 75 reports will include all actuarial information necessary for GASBS 75 including Notes, RSI, supporting exhibits and calculations, and journal entries. We will meet with the City (via video conference call) to review results of each report.
Our report will include the same information as previous reports:
Historical valuation results, asset information including returns, demographic information, and contributions vs. ADC.
Gain and loss analysis with changes in the Actuarial Accrued Liability since the prior valuation Long term contribution and benefit payout projection
Results provided separately for cash subsidy and implicit subsidy Detailed participant statistics, including summary of healthcare plan and coverage elections.
Fees/Timing
Information provided under the actuarial valuation, timing, and fees are as follows:

April 7, 2025
411 Borel Avenue, Suite 620 San Mateo, CA 94402 ꞏ (650) 377-1600 ꞏ www.foster-foster.com Please note that our fees assume:
The City has made no changes to its retiree healthcare plan or healthcare providers since the last actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023.
No substantial changes occur after the valuation date that would require revised actuarial assumptions and/or plan provisions for GASBS 75.
Participant census data requested will be provided completely and accurately in an Excel workbook based on the CalPERS OPEB data extract with 1 record per participant and all requested plan, financial, and census information will be internally consistent. Costs and liabilities will be provided using 1 funding method and 1 set of assumptions. The City has not changed its funding policy.
Please note that our fees will be higher if:
Results are needed for separate employee groups, alternative plan designs, or pre-funding scenarios. The City requests additional meetings or any work out of the scope of this letter. If additional work is requested, we will provide a fee quote.
Assistance with footnotes under GASBS 75 beyond our GASBS 75 reports (which will contain all actuarial related information needed for footnotes).
Timing
Normally, the valuation results meeting is set about 8 weeks after we receive all the requested information and the City replies to any questions we may have after our initial review of the requested data. GASBS 75 reports will be completed approximately 2-3 weeks after year-end information is received, provided we have already completed the valuation.
Data Requirements
Information needed for the projects is as follows:
General Information
Summary of OPEB plan provisions and copies of the most recent MOUs for bargained employee groups and agreements for unrepresented groups if they have changed from those provided for the June 30, 2023 valuation.
The City’s most current CalPERS PEMHCA resolution(s) if different from that provided for the June 30, 2023 valuation.
CalPERS OPEB Data Extract (see instructions below) modified as described below. August 2025 Monthly Employer Billing Roster. Please remove any Social Security numbers. All quarterly trust statements received from CalPERS CERBT since June 30, 2024 including contributions and dates made.

Log in to myCalPERS as a business partner. The permission sets needed are Business Partner AR Billing and Business Partner Health Contracts. If you need access to myCalPERS, please contact the City’s myCalPERS System Administrator.

411 Borel Avenue, Suite 620 San Mateo, CA 94402 ꞏ (650) 377-1600 ꞏ www.foster-foster.com Select the Health Contracts Tab and then the OPEB Data Extract Link on the left side toolbar. This extract may take up to 48 hours to process, but typical turnaround times are closer to 24 hours. The myCalPERS system will not send an automated email once completed, so you will need to log back in to the same page to obtain the extracted data files. You will receive 2 files: one for active participants and one for retired participants, please send us both. To use the data extract for the valuation please add:
PERSable compensation to each active record
Portion of premium reimbursed by the City outside of PEMHCA to each retiree record Indicate lateral police officers hired on and after November 16, 2018 GASBS 75 Accounting Reports
Information for the GASBS 75 reports will be requested at each fiscal year end.
We may need additional data depending on our review of the City’s retiree medical plan design. We understand the above data request may seem extensive; we are available to assist or answer any questions.
Please contact me ([email protected] or 650-377-1602) with any questions.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matt Papurello, Contract City Planner
SUBJECT: Application for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Approval (CUP 25- 001; IWORQ Permit # 25002) for: 1) a wholesale Bakery and 2) wholesale Coffee Roastery on property located at 1793 Catalina Street (APN 011-243- 004); Applicant: Greg & Sandy Wilson.
DATE: April 15th, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION:
A. BACKGROUND
A Conditional Use Permit Application has been submitted by Greg and Sandy Wilson to improve approximately 3,600 sq. ft of the first floor of an approximately 46,000 sq. ft. one and partial two – story building to establish a 1,100 sq. ft. wholesale bakery and a 2,500 sq. ft. foot wholesale coffee roastery and warehouse.
The Previous use of the Subject property was an audio/video production studio with accessory office, internet sales and storage use (CUP 480 Resolution 06-116). The City Council approved CUP 480 subject to 19 Conditions Of Approval. Conditions of approval addressed the following subjects:
hours of operation;
number and location of parking spaces;
restrictions on outdoor storage and other activities; requirements for on-site deliveries and related restrictions on traffic obstruction.+ 91 CUP25-011; Wilson
Coffee Roastery and Bakery
1793 Catalina Street
2 B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant (owner) proposes two new uses (Attachment 2: letters of intent) within the subject building, an existing one and partial two-story, approximately 46,000 sq. ft. building located at the southeast corner of Catalina and Elder Streets, as follows:
1. A wholesale bakery, operated by the owners of the building, located within 1,100 sq. ft. of the first floor of the building. Bakery hours of operation will be 7 AM – 4:00 PM.
Deliveries to the bakery will occur once per week during business hours. A walk-up retail window will be open for a few unspecified hours in conjunction with the coffee roastery located within the adjacent space.
2. A coffee roastery, packaging, warehouse, and wholesale delivery use within approximately 2,500 sq. ft of the first floor of the building. The roastery will have up to four (4) employees. The roastery will provide limited retail coffee service via the same ancillary walk-up window utilized by the bakery. An interior café’ type use is not proposed. Green coffee deliveries to the roastery will occur every 5-6 weeks and delivery of other ingredients will occur once per week.
The combined use of the first floor of the building will predominantly be for on-site production, storage, packaging, and preparation for off-site wholesale delivery of baked goods and roasted coffee within two separate areas. Retail activity via a walk-up window fronting Elder Ave., near the northwest corner of the building, is ancillary to both uses.
The window will be open for a limited time during bakery hours of operation.
Planning Dept. condition of approval 7 requires the elimination of the substandard, on-site parking spaces that have direct access from Elder Ave. This condition is coupled with City Engineer condition 15 requiring the construction of curb/gutter sidewalk to City Standards along the Elder Avenue property frontage (see discussion below regarding public improvements). The applicants propose optional use of the on-site converted parking area along the Elder Avenue, an area of approximately 10’ in width, to accommodate a variety of flexible uses consistent with Vibrancy Plan recommendations for such spaces.
Outdoor uses may include bistro seating, benches, landscape planters, and a bicycle rack.
There is currently no trash enclosure on the subject property. There are two trash bins on site within a striped area along the Elder Avenue frontage near the southwest corner of the site.

3 The second floor of the building will continue to be used as an office for ground floor uses.
Deliveries from both uses to off-site customers will made daily. One loading/unloading space capable of accommodating a small delivery truck is provided for use by building occupants, integrated with the on-site parking area.
The elevation of the building will be modified in two locations:
1. A roll up door for deliveries will be installed on the Catalina Street elevation; and
2. A walk-up window will be installed on the Elder Ave. elevation near the building entrance.
A site plan, floor plan and elevations are depicted in Attachment 3.
C. General Plan, Zoning, and Surrounding Land Uses
1. General Plan and Vibrancy Plan
The Subject Property has a General Plan land use designation of Mixed-Use (MUD) and is within the ‘Old Town Planning District’. Applicable Land Use Element policies are as follows:
Goal 2.1: Transform the Old Town district from an area of heavy industrial, unplanned land use mix and warehouse uses to a planned area of light manufacturing, service commercial and residential uses, with a heavy emphasis towards streetscape beautification.
Policy 2.1.1: Encourage the establishment of new land uses within the Old Town district that: • Provide goods and services required by the community and surrounding area • Are generally complementary to other desirable businesses in the area and are residentially compatible in terms of being low-impact neighbors to residential uses • Contribute to a diversity of activities that could include artisans, ethnic markets, and restaurants, entertainment, and incubator industries Policy 2.1.2: Prohibit any new self-storage or purely warehouse uses.
Vibrancy Plan recommendations for commercial development in the area are principally intended to support transformation of the warehousing / manufacturing / commercial – service orientation of the core planning area to one oriented to retail 93 CUP25-011; Wilson

4 and visitor serving uses. The Vibrancy Plan includes tools focused on increasing commercial and visitor serving uses in the area:
LU-1d. “Strive for the greatest concentration of retail uses, restaurants, brew pubs, artists’ studios, and entertainment venues along Contra Costa Street, Ortiz Avenue, and adjoining side streets.”
LU-1c. Encourage social gathering uses that will remain open in the evening. VB Social gathering uses could include ice cream shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and brew pubs
LU-1h. Focus on development of land use types that both address the City’s vision and meet an identified demand. A market study was prepared as background to the Vibrancy Plan, based on the Seaside/Sand City/Marina market subarea.6 The market is strongest for residential, then industrial, followed by mixed use, commercial retail, and then office (lowest demand of the uses considered).
LU-2b. Make productive use of small left-over spaces. Oftentimes there is a small space, on either private or public land, that could be put to beneficial use. For example, a sliver of land too narrow for effective landscaping might provide enough room for a bicycle rack, a display case that could promote the business, or a bench. On the City’s streets, small leftover spaces that are too small for an additional parking space, could be used for a motorcycle parking area, an extra landscaping pocket, or a small public art display. Refer to the Streetscape and Aesthetics section for additional discussion.
The subject project will combine service commercial, warehouse, and wholesale uses along with ancillary retail sale consistent with the above policies. The subject uses include food and beverage production, wholesale and warehouse uses along with limited retail use. This combination of uses will further transformation of the area to a more visitor-serving orientation in the manner envisioned by Vibrancy Plan. The applicant’s intention for on-site outdoor uses along the Elder Avenue frontage, referenced above will provide the type of activity envisioned for the Vibrancy Plan area.
2. Zoning Code Regulations:
a. The Subject Property has a Zoning Designation of Planned Mixed-Use (MU-P). 94 CUP25-011; Wilson
Coffee Roastery and Bakery
1793 Catalina Street
5 Section 18.13.040(K) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance states “Bakeries, catering commercial kitchens” are considered conditional uses, and therefore may operate in the MU-P District with the acquisition of a conditional use permit.
The proposed use of the building is consistent with uses allowed in the MU-P District.
b. A loading space is required for the proposed uses as follows:
…every building or part thereof hereafter erected and having a gross floor area of 2,000 square feet or more, which is to be occupied by manufacturing, storage, warehouse,… wholesale store, … or other use similarly requiring the receipt or distribution by vehicles of material or merchandise, at least one offstreet loading space to be used exclusively for such purpose for each 5,000 square feet of gross floor area so used…” ;
“Each loading space shall be not less than 12 feet in width, 40 feet in length and 16 feet in height, and shall be clearly marked for this use. Buildings of 3,000 square feet or less will be allowed a length reduction of 10 feet and allowed to use a portion of the building interior.”
While the gross floor area of the building is more than the 2,000 sq.ft., a loading space is not required, as the gross square feet of the floor area is less than 5,000 sq. ft Nonetheless, the applicant proposes to provide one loading space, of a standard vehicle width in front of the new roll up door. c. § 18.64.050 Off-Street Parking—Number of Spaces Required, Access.
One (1) parking space is required for each employee on a maximum shift, including one handicap parking space. Up to 6 employees will work on the site, four (4) within the coffee roastery and two (2) within the bakery. Six (6) on-site parking spaces will be arranged along the Catalina Street frontage perpendicular to the building, including one (1) handicapped space located near the northwest corner of the building, closest to the entrance.
Access to on-site parking from Catalina Street will be via the existing continuous driveway located along the entire Catalina Street frontage. Vehicles will roll over the sidewalk area also used by pedestrians, typical of many businesses in the area. Parking spaces will be consistent with newly updated size requirements of 8.5’ W x 16’ L. Additional length may be attained by 95 CUP25-011; Wilson

A continuous driveway also exists along the Elder Avenue frontage providing access to several parking spaces that are partially within the Elder. The area of the site used for this parking is currently striped and wheel stops installed to accommodate several parking spaces. A portion of these spaces encroach substantially within the Elder Ave. right of way. This informal parking arrangement presents a significant public safety hazard as vehicles may cross the sidewalk anywhere, and in any manner, along the frontage. Additional pedestrian and bicycle movement occasioned by the proposed walk-up window further increases the potential for pedestrian/bicycle and vehicle conflicts along this frontage. For this reason, condition of approval 15 requires the applicant to construct public improvements on Elder Ave. (curb, gutter, sidewalk) to eliminate any potential for customary, informal use of this area of the site for parking. Once installed, these improvements will enable parallel parking along the subject property Elder Ave. frontage.

3. Surrounding Land Uses – the area surrounding the site is characterized by a mix of adjacent commercial, single family and multi-family residential uses. For this reason, it is important that nuisances potentially generated by commercial uses of the type proposed are controlled. The following are potential nuisances affecting residential uses:
Noise from loading and unloading operations
Noise from operation of interior equipment
Odors and increased emissions of volatile organic compounds from production Pedestrian/vehicle conflicts from substandard on-site parking Traffic conflicts from loading and unloading activities Conditions of approval require a range of performance standards to address these concerns including:

Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Employees
Salary Schedule

City of Sand City
STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Vibeke Norgaard, City Manager; Audrey Cray, HR Risk Manager SUBJECT: Resolution to Approve Fiscal Year 2024-25 Salary Schedule for General Employees
DATE: April 15, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
State law requires that Cities contracting with CalPERS adopt a publicly available pay schedule that identifies the title for every employee position at the City, shows the pay rate for each position, and indicates the effective date of any revisions. (2 CCR 570.5(a)(1)-(8)). The schedule is required to be posted on the City’s website. The City established a pay schedule in 1991 (Resolution SC-29, 1991) and has updated it by resolution.
When the former City Planner retired in 2023, along with several other department heads, the City decided to keep the City Planner position vacant and instead utilize the planning services of EMC Planning Group (EMC), the City’s contract planning service provider for 43 years.
EMC stepped up to the plate and has provided exceptional assistance to the City. In addition to providing day-to-day planning assistance, it has advanced the City towards its goals, obtained grants for several major City projects and initiated the planning of those projects, such as the Multi-use/Bike trail; the Coastal trail; the Art park; the East dunes ITP; the coordination with the Coastal Commission, Cal Am and MST regarding rip-rap clean up on the coast; the coordination with the eco-resort; developing a façade improvement program and a cannabis retail program; sorting our new water allocation issue with MPWMD; providing planning services for the MST Surf bus project CDP; preparing and obtaining a certified Housing element; revising the zoning code; and streamlining City processes by implementing the IWORQ system and updating the City’s outdated fee schedule
Since many of these systems are now in place, and the major projects that have been initiated and advanced (e.g., multi-use/bike trail is at almost 30% plans), City staff have determined that it is an appropriate time to fill the position of an in-house Planning 122
employee. That staff person would provide day-today planning services and manage the larger projects with continued outside consultant assistance, as needed. However, due to the complexity of many of the projects the position should be one with a high level of understanding and education in planning services in order for the individual to be able to manage the various projects and contract service providers.
The amendment proposed here is therefore to adjust the position of City Planner to make it a Planning Manager position with an annual salary in the $114,502 - $146,137 range.
Since general planning services will be handled internally by the new Planning Manager, part of the funding for this position would be moved from the approved EMC General Planning Services Contract for FY 25/26 and FY 26/27. It is expected that there would need to be an overlap between EMC and the new position at the end of FY 24-25 to transfer information and get a new employee up to speed.
The resolution authorizes the City Manager to prepare a job description for this position.
The essential functions and responsibilities of the new Planning Manager would be to handle all the City’s general planning items, project management of all planning projects, managing and overseeing all contract services related to any City related planning project, as well as other functions as it relates to the position.
The proposed FY 2024-25 General Employees Salary Schedule reflects the following changes: Staff is requesting an amendment to the salary schedule to add a Planning Manager (annual salary $114,502 – $146,137).
CEQA:
This action does not constitute a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budgets for FY 25/26 and FY 26/27 will reflect a reduction to the Planning Contract Services line item and reflect the Planning Manager position.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council approve the FY 2024-25 General Employees Salary Schedule Resolution.

Discussion and Direction Regarding the
Sand City we.Mural Festival 2025
132
City of Sand City
STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Vibeke Norgaard, City Manager,
DATE: April 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction regarding the Sand City we.Mural Festival 2025 _____________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City has held five mural festivals since the first one was held in September of 2020.
In 2023, the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for mural curators and hired Crystal and Cameron Moberg of Talking Walls who successfully curated the 2023 and 2024 we.Mural festivals. The Arts Committee met on February 12, 2025, and again on March 28, 2025, and discussed its recommendations to Council regarding a potential 2025 mural festival. Ideas that were considered by the Committee included:
1) To recommend a mural festival or program that focused on one large building (ideally the Graniterock batch plant on California Avenue) by one well known artist such as Leon Keer, the Dutch artist who previously painted the ‘Stop sign Mural” in Sand City; or
2) To recommend a program that would focus on curating and maintaining the existing murals, adding QR codes, clear coating those murals that have not been coated, and developing promotional materials for the existing mural program, such as a map; or
3) To recommend a festival as we have funded in the past with several muralists painting murals on several walls throughout the City.
After discussing the above options, the Arts Committee is recommending that the Council approve Option 1 above – a single large-scale mural on the Graniterock property.
On the Arts Committee’s recommendation, the City Manager approached Talking Walls to discuss Crystal and Cameron Moberg’s interest in continued involvement with the mural festival in Sand City. Their proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The City Manager also met with Graniterock’s Land Use Manager who was generally supportive of the idea of a large-scale mural on the Graniterock building, as long as sufficient safety procedures are in place. If Council were to accept the Arts Committee’s recommendation, staff would approach Graniterock to see whether they are willing to enter into an agreement to have a mural on their batch plant. If Graniterock does not agree, the Arts Committee will reconvene and discuss which other options to recommend to the Council.
The option in the Talking Walls proposal that is recommended by the Arts Committee is on page 6 “Commissioned mural”. It envisions a large-scale mural from an esteemed artist such as Leon Keer installed by November 2025:
133
One (1) commissioned mural to be installed on the tall backside of Granite Rock, as seen from California Ave.
In addition to obtaining designs by Leon Keer, they will contract 1-2 additional artists to present designs. (Final artist and design to be selected and approved by the Council [sic])
Includes 1,000-1,500-square foot limit mural, designed and installed by artist Priming included, if necessary
Travel and lodging for artist
Painting Materials
Lift rental
Protective clear coat included (materials and labor). Local Artist Battle
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposal from Talking Walls envisions an $80,000 cost for all of the above options.
The budget for the FY 24/25 mural festival was $80,000 and the full amount was expended. Were the City to move forward with any of the options proposed by Talking Walls, it would need to allocate $80,000 to the FY 25/26 budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council follow the Arts Committee’s recommendation to fund a 2025 commissioned mural on the Graniterock property if Graniterock agrees.
Other direction Council could give staff includes:
1. Direct staff to instead of a mural festival do a “Maintenance year 2025,” curating the existing murals and developing materials to promote them ((option on page 4 of proposal by Talking walls.)
2. Direct staff to do another option in relation to the mural festival 2025.
3. Direct staff to discontinue mural festivals and focus on other art forms.

PROPOSAL
WWW.TALKINGWALLS.ART Prepared by C.Moberg, 03/2025
N A R R A T I V E
Talking Walls has been incredibly fortunate to work in tandem with Sand City to continue to carry out our very personal mission of bringing art to the masses. We’re grateful to brave cities such as Sand City, who champion the arts and trust us to bring the vision to life.
Over the past five years, Sand City has embraced the power of public art through the mural festivals and other art events throughout the year, making way for a variety of expressions of creativity, culture, and community. The murals have beautified the City but have also contributed to Sand City’s art identity.
We’ve had the honor of curating WE Fest for the last two of those years, carefully selecting artists whose work reflects the heart of community, engaging the public in the process. Through these efforts, we have cultivated a strong foundation for public art, one that has sparked conversations, inspired local creatives, and positioned Sand City as a place where art can thrive.
As we look ahead, there is opportunity to explore new ways to build upon this success. While the annual festival has been a cornerstone of public art, we can also consider alternative approaches that continue to foster artistic excellence and community engagement.
We’re excited to present a range of ideas that will build on the momentum while aligning with the city’s evolving vision. Whatever path you choose, the commitment from us remains the same: to make public art accessible, impactful, and deeply connected to the people of Sand City. [email protected] www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 1 136
Similar to what we’ve done in mural festivals past, however this year concentrating the murals in one location: the tall backside of Granite Rock, as seen from California Ave (photo below). Talking Walls will bring the ART and the ARTISTS while Sand City Arts Committee will serve as liaison to the business and building owner, establishing an owner agreement and outlining expectations, as we do the same with the artists.
The budget would cover:
3-5 muralists
Local Artist Battle
All paint materials for festival and battle
Inclusive of flights for out-of-state artists, gas expenses for in-state artists Transportation to/from airport, to/from wall locations
Van rental
Lodging for traveling artists
Lunch and dinner for all artists
Up to five (5) lifts, boom/scissor
Yielding 3-5 murals

NOTE
Talking Walls will scout and vet muralists
Building owners and Sand City Arts Committee may offer design input, which the artists may or may not use.
Final artists and designs will be selected by Talking Walls and presented to the Committee, where the Committee will approve/reject based on mural design guidelines that murals are void of controversy, vulgarity, politics, religion, or anything of an offensive nature
We’d again appreciate the use of the Art Park, which is essential to the operations of a mural festival.

As mentioned, prepping the walls and sealing the murals are not included in the cost.
Prepping and priming will ideally be the responsibility of the building owner.
A clear protective coat is optional, and highly recommended for preserving murals. As you know, it protects against the elements while also making the mural washable in the event of vandalism. We are happy to suggest a good product and a how-to, or we can do it for you.
Please let us know if you’d like to add clear coat. To give you an idea, the cost would fall somewhere between $5k-$10k depending on final mural coverage. 138

The concept of establishing a mural program evolved during the planning of the mural festival. It became evident that the arts committee's preference for influencing mural designs would be more effectively realized through an art program. This program aims to commission artists to create murals that align closely with the visions of both Sand City and the respective building owners, fostering a collaborative selection process involving the arts committee, building owners, and curators.
The budget would cover:
Two (2) commissioned muralists by process of selection implemented by curators, final selections approved by the Committee
500-square foot limit murals, designed and installed by selected artists Includes consultation with the curator and artists, a minimum of three (3) designs, and a round of revisions
Priming included if necessary. Pressure washing and/or repairs to the intended walls are not included (we’d rely on the building owners to coordinate such tasks. Clear coat is also not included.
Installation dates TBD; targeted completion, November 2025.
Two (2) QR code plaques (design, fabrication, and installation) Launch of Mural Program, $80k
NOTE
Talking Walls will scout and vet muralists by way of invitational artist call Final artists and designs will be collaboratively selected by Talking Walls and the Committee

The Commissioned Mural option offers a different approach from the Mural Program.
Rather than commissioning two artists, this option focuses on securing a mural from the esteemed artist, Leon Keer. To ensure the project's success, we will also consider designs from other artists of similar caliber, to guarantee a striking and high-impact installation for 2025.
The budget would cover:
One (1) commissioned mural to be installed on the tall backside of Granite Rock, as seen from California Ave.
In addition to obtaining designs by Leon Keer, we’ll contract one (1) to two (2) additional artists to present designs as well. Final artist and design to be selected and approved by the Committee.
Includes 1,000-1,500-square foot limit mural, designed and installed by artist Priming included if necessary
Travel and lodging for artist
Paint Materials
Lift rental
Protective clear coat included (materials and labor).
Local Artist Battle
The Commissioned Mural, $80k
NOTE
Talking Walls will correspond with artists and establish contracts Final artists and designs will be collaboratively selected by Talking Walls and the Committee
The Committee would establish an owner agreement with Granite Rock, outline expectations, as we do the same with the artist.
Pressure washing and/or repairs to the intended wall are not included (we’d rely on the building owner to coordinate such tasks)
Installation dates, TBD (targeted completion: November 2025) 141
