CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Streets Operations & Infrastructure Management Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Introduction Of An Ordinance Establishing Speed Limits RECOMMENDATION:

That Council introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, An Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Section 10.60.015 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code Establishing Prima Facie Speed Limits on Certain Portions of Anapamu Street, De La Guerra Street, Garden Street, Las Positas Road, and Modoc Road.

DISCUSSION:

Staff recommends changes to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 10.60.015 – Schedule of Speed Limits.

California Vehicle Code Section 40802 prohibits the enforcement of speed limits on nonlocal streets using radar unless the speed limit is justified by a current Engineering and Traffic Survey (ETS). Therefore, any non-local street in California must have an ETS in order to establish a radar enforceable speed limit. Local streets and non-local streets are illustrated in the California Road Functional Classification System Map (see Attachment 1).

The City currently has 115 established speed zones supported by an ETS. Each ETS must be updated every seven years. Based on the prevailing speeds measured as part of an ETS, existing speed limits must be periodically updated in order to reflect current driving conditions. The resulting speed limit is entered into the Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) in order for it to be legally enforceable by radar. Generally, ETS’s are updated and no change in speed limits is required.

In the spring of 2022, 12 ETS’s were updated, and due to the results of those surveys, five speed zones within the City will be changed, which necessitates Council action.

Attachment 2 specifically lists each street segment studied, and provides the basis for each modification to SBMC Section 10.60.015 where applicable.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Streets Operations & Infrastructure Management Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Introduction Of Ordinance To Amend Municipal Code Section

10.60.030 To Change The One-Way Designation On The 400 Block Of Anacapa Street
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, An Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Municipal Code by Amending Section

10.60.030 to Change the One-Way Designation on the 400 Block of Anacapa Street.

DISCUSSION:

The conversion of the 400 block of Anacapa Street (between Gutierrez Street and Haley Street) from a one-way street to a two-way street is a project identified in the City’s Five Year Capital Improvement Program to improve circulation. To implement the conversion from a one-way street to a two-way street, changes are needed to the signs, pavement markings, and traffic signal at Anacapa and Haley Streets. The 400 block of Anacapa Street is scheduled to be repaved this summer, making this an ideal time for the conversion. An update to the Schedule of One-Way Streets in the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is required.

Anacapa Street, between Haley Street and Gutierrez Street, is currently a one-way southbound street. As a result, motorists on Anacapa Street (south of Haley Street) and Gutierrez Street (between Santa Barbara Street and Anacapa Street) are forced to circulate through the State Street and Gutierrez Street intersection. See the Attachment for an illustration of this circulation pattern. This increases the traffic burden on the State Street and Gutierrez Street intersection and the 400 block of State Street. This area of State Street has a pattern of pedestrian and bicycle-involved collisions. Reducing the traffic burden on this area of State Street will improve safety for all road users.

Staff recommends converting the 400 block of Anacapa Street into a two-way street. This would improve traffic circulation in the area and divert some vehicular traffic away from the highly used pedestrian crossings on State Street.

Agenda Item No. 3
File Code No. 530.05
Ordinance Committee Agenda Report
Introduction Of Ordinance To Amend Municipal Code Section 10.60.030 To Change The One-Way Designation On The 400 Block Of Anacapa Street
May 24, 2022

Improved Local Access and Reduced Vehicle Miles Traveled A benefit of the two-way configuration is improved local access for residents and businesses in the area. By providing a more direct route for motorists to travel east/north, the traffic originating from these blocks would no longer need to circulate around three city blocks to travel east. The result is reduced travel times and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The proposed configuration of Anacapa Street would result in a one to two minute reduction in travel time and 114 fewer VMT per day on average.

In addition to improved circulation during normal operations, the two-way street would also provide an alternative route when there is a special event or an incident restricting traffic flow at the State Street and Gutierrez Street intersection.

See the Attachment for an illustration of the existing circulation versus the alternative circulation with a two-way 400 block of Anacapa Street.

Pedestrian Safety on State Street
The proposed two-way configuration would improve pedestrian safety along State Street, at the intersections of Gutierrez Street and Haley Street. These intersections have thousands of pedestrians crossing each day, which can result in increased delays and conflicts with turning traffic. By providing the alternate route along the proposed two-way 400 block of Anacapa Street, drivers intending to travel east/north would not be forced through these two intersections, thereby reducing the total number of conflict points between pedestrians and vehicles.

Vehicular Traffic Forecast
Staff performed traffic counts in the area to determine how many additional trips would be expected on the 400 block of Anacapa Street with the alternative two-way configuration. Based on those traffic counts, as well as field observations, approximately 40 percent of vehicular trips originating from the study area intend to travel east and would use the proposed northbound direction of Anacapa. This would result in approximately 600 additional daily vehicular trips on the 400 block of Anacapa Street as summarized below:
 During the peak hour, on average, there would be one northbound vehicle every one minute.
 During off-peak hours, on average, there would be one northbound vehicle every two minutes.

Ordinance Committee Agenda Report
Introduction Of Ordinance To Amend Municipal Code Section 10.60.030 To Change The One-Way Designation On The 400 Block Of Anacapa Street
May 24, 2022

Public Engagement
Public meetings have been held to inform the public and solicit feedback:
 In 2016, prior to entry into the City’s Five Year Capital Improvement Program, a public meeting was hosted at 630 Garden Street. Some residents on the 400 block of Anacapa Street opposed the change due to the increased traffic volumes. As mentioned previously, additional traffic will average one vehicle per minute during the peak hour.
 On February 9, 2022, a virtual meeting was held to provide an update and solicit feedback. Again, some residents on the 400 block of Anacapa Street opposed the change due to increased traffic volumes.
 On February 24, 2022, the change was presented to the Transportation and Circulation Committee. The Committee agreed with the change and recommended the change be forwarded to the Ordinance Committee for consideration.

For the May 10, 2022, Ordinance Committee meeting, email notifications were sent to the attendees of the virtual meeting, and signboards advertising the meeting were placed at neighborhood intersections.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The conversion of the 400 block of Anacapa Street from a one-way street to a two-way street will require changes to the existing pavement markings, signs, and the Anacapa Street and Haley Street traffic signal. A planned pavement maintenance project on Haley and Anacapa Street later this summer provides an opportunity to cost-effectively update the signs and pavement markings (approximately $1,000). As part of the pavement maintenance project, the traffic signal at Haley and Anacapa Streets will be rehabilitated for long-term reliability. Incorporating the additional traffic signal equipment to serve a two-way Anacapa Street will cost an additional $10,000 above and beyond the rehabilitation costs. Sufficient expenditure appropriations exist in the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Streets Operating Fund Budget to make this change.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The conversion of the 400 block of Anacapa Street from a one-way street to a two-way street would result in reduced VMT, thereby also reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Fire Department
SUBJECT: Adoption Of Resolution Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of An Equipment Schedule For Two Fire Apparatus
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:

A. Approve a best interest waiver under Santa Barbara Municipal Code § 4.52.070 for one Pierce Manufacturing Inc., 1500 Gallon Fire Apparatus for the price of $874,979; B. Approve a best interest waiver under Santa Barbara Municipal Code § 4.52.070 for one Pierce Manufacturing Inc., Pierce-Arrow 107’ Ascendant Aerial Fire Apparatus for the price of $1,620,797; and
C. Adopt by reading of title only, A Resolution Of The Council Of The City Of Santa Barbara Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of An Equipment Schedule To The Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement For The Acquisition, Financing And Leasing Of Certain Equipment For The Public Benefit Within The Terms Provided Herein; Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of Other Documents Required In Connection Therewith; And Authorizing The Taking Of All Other Actions Necessary To The Consummation Of The Transactions Contemplated By This Resolution.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Santa Barbara’s (City) Fire Department desires to replace two fire apparatus that have met the frontline service life and are scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2025 and 2027 respectively. These two apparatus are planned to be acquired through a lease/purchase financing arrangement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp. A Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement was authorized on October 19, 2021, with the potential lease purchase acquisition of additional equipment upon approval by the City Council of individual authorizing resolutions. Each separate acquisition under the Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement requires future Council action. The proposed resolution authorizes the acquisition and financing of one Pierce Manufacturing Inc., (Pierce) 1500 Gallon Fire Apparatus and one Pierce 107’ Ascendant Aerial Fire Apparatus (ladder truck with tiller/tractor) under the terms specified in the Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement.

Agenda Item No. 5
File Code No. 330.05
Council Agenda Report
Adoption Of Resolution Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of An Equipment Schedule For Two Fire Apparatus
May 24, 2022

DISCUSSION:

The City maintains various Fire Department vehicles needed to respond to over 10,000 incidents per year. The cornerstone vehicles are called apparatus, pumpers, or engines.

The City maintains fire apparatus at all eight City fire stations. These apparatus serve as the main transport and work platform for our firefighters.

All fire apparatus have a frontline service life of 16 years and are placed into reserve status for up to ten additional years, provided they are in a safe, good working condition, and can be relied upon as a second-line for response. The replacement schedule is based on the life of the apparatus, reasonable operations and maintenance costs, technology advancement, and safe operations as a frontline response apparatus.

The Spartan 1500 Gallon Pumper fire engine, No. 2400, and the Crimson Spartan Aerial Ladder Truck, No. 2500, have nearly reached or exceeded their frontline service life. In order to maintain a safe and reliable fire fleet, these two engines will move to reserve status, effectively replacing one existing Spartan 1500 Gallon Pumper fire engine and one Aerial Ladder Truck that are currently at the reserve life of 25 years. The construction of both new fire apparatus is estimated at 24 months from the date of the order. Therefore, staff have prioritized moving ahead with the replacement process of these two apparatus, so that the existing reserve vehicles may be excessed on time.

Concurrently, the City has experienced a financial downturn due to impacts of the COVID19 pandemic on the local economy, and subsequent City revenue. Recently the Fire Department was tasked with reducing the Fiscal Year 2022 budget as a means of meeting the City’s overall budget reduction targets. Through collaboration with the Finance Department and the Public Works Department, the Fire Department determined the target could be met through zeroing out the fleet reserve funds of $1,007,445 that had accumulated for the cash purchase replacement of two apparatus, and returning these dollars to the General Fund. This resulted in the pursuit of the initial Lease/Purchase option as a means of moving forward with apparatus replacements.

The decreasing availability of materials and supplies in conjunction with increasing inflation is expected to drive the cost of future procurement of specialty equipment up, which is expected to exceed the anticipated Fleet Replacement Reserves for these two apparatus.

The execution and delivery of the equipment schedule under the existing Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement for a Type One 1500 Gallon Fire Pumper apparatus and a 107’ Ascendant Aerial (ladder truck with tractor/tiller) truck can maintain the replacement cycle for engines No. 2400 and No. 2500, while avoiding a large initial capital outlay and the City will own the equipment at the end of the lease.

Staff took the recommendation to enter into a Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement to Council as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 budget presentation, and the City Administrator directed staff to take action on a Lease/Purchase Agreement “pilot project” to replace No. 2280 and No. 2323. The recommendations outlined above expands the “pilot project” to include No. 2400 and No. 2500.

Council Agenda Report
Adoption Of Resolution Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of An Equipment Schedule For Two Fire Apparatus
May 24, 2022

Staff from all three departments (Public Works, Fire, and Finance) have researched multiple financing options, reviewed the Lease/Purchase Agreement, and have collectively determined that a Lease/Purchase Agreement is beneficial to the City and under the current circumstances is the most advantageous mechanism for maintaining the City’s frontline fire fleet.

MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE/PURCHASE SUMMARY:

The Fire Department is scheduled to replace one Spartan 1500 Gallon Pumper fire engine, No. 2400, and one Crimson Spartan Aerial Ladder Truck, No. 2500. Specifications for the replacement fire apparatus (triple combination pumper engine and aerial ladder truck) were developed by the Fire Department in conjunction with the Apparatus Committee, and reviewed for technical accuracy by the Public Works Department’s Fleet Management Division. The specifications were developed to comply with the upcoming anticipated changes to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 1901 code that governs the requirements for new automotive fire apparatus designed to be used under emergency situations.

City staff obtained current pricing from South Coast Fire Equipment Inc., an authorized dealer for Pierce, in the amount of $874,978.84 for the 1500 Gallon Fire Apparatus and $1,620,796.99 for the 107’ Ascendant Aerial Fire Apparatus. The proposal includes a total pre-payment discount of $81,000 when utilizing the Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement.

Staff recommends approval of a best interest waiver for the procurement of these two apparatus under Santa Barbara Municipal Code § 4.52.070. The Pierce apparatus was selected as the preferred alternative in part because the repair facility located in Paso Robles allows a faster service turnaround time than the facilities located farther south in Los Angeles. Additionally, the Montecito and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection Districts utilize Pierce apparatus, and have given positive feedback on the operability of this equipment for emergency and frontline use. Pierce fire apparatus are becoming increasingly common acquisitions among California firefighting districts and municipalities. There is a tremendous advantage to standardizing to Pierce equipment, particularly for Mutual Aid missions where crewmembers from varying municipalities may be assigned to an apparatus from a partner agency.

Most importantly, Pierce has redesigned their pumper trucks to create space for turnout gear, firefighting clothing, and associated safety equipment that may carry potentially hazardous materials after an incident, to be stored in compartments outside of the cab. This feature protects the fire fighters from excessive exposure to carcinogens and other hazards as they return to the fire station or move on to a new incident.

The Fire Department proposes to purchase one 1500 Gallon Fire Apparatus and one 107’ Ascendant Aerial Fire Apparatus through the execution and delivery of an equipment schedule under the existing Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement with the Banc of America Public Capital Corp. The Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement allows the City to acquire equipment and vehicles upon approval by Council resolution of an equipment schedule and payment schedule, which identifies the specific equipment to be acquired and payment terms that are consistent with the Master Agreement and in accordance with the best interest waiver under Santa Barbara Municipal Code § 4.52.070.

The following quote was received from the Banc of America Public Capital Corp. under the existing Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement based on a seven-year lease term:

Bank Interest Rate Note
Banc of America Public
Capital Corp. 2.9728% Includes the cost of a 60-day rate lock Costing
The total cost for the Lease/Purchase of these engines is $2,782,893.

Apparatus Price
1500 Gallon Fire Apparatus $874,979
Pierce-Arrow 107’ Ascendant Aerial Fire Apparatus $1,620,797 Interest Payment to Banc of America Public Capital Corp. $287,117 As part of the current budget process, staff will propose a staff recommended adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2023 Recommended Budget to ensure adequate expenditure appropriations exist in the Fleet Replacement Fund to make the required payments in Fiscal Year 2023. No appropriation request is required at this time that impacts the FY2022 budget.

Financing Method
The negotiated interest rate will not exceed 2.98 percent for the two apparatus. The City has locked in this favorable rate for up to 60 days given the time it will take for the resolution to be heard and then subsequently adopted. The total payment amount of $198,778.08 will be paid every six months. At the conclusion of the seven-year lease, the City will then own the apparatus, and they will remain in the City’s fleet for up to 25 to 28 years.

Council Agenda Report
Adoption Of Resolution Authorizing The Execution And Delivery Of An Equipment Schedule For Two Fire Apparatus
May 24, 2022

Evaluation of Alternatives
Staff evaluated the following two other funding alternatives:

1. Borrow Fleet Reserve funds that have been accumulating for future Fire Department vehicle purchases. There are adequate funds in the Fleet Replacement fund to be able to proceed with these two purchases; however, this action would result in the delay of future vehicle purchases, which will likely be more expensive to purchase in the future, as well as increase the annual allocations from the Fire Department into the Fleet Replacement Fund.

2. Appropriate available General Fund reserves in Fiscal Year 2022. Staff does not recommend appropriating reserves, as the reserves are projected to be below policy target levels in Fiscal Year 2023 and beyond.

Risk Management/Insurance
Due to the potentially hazardous conditions and incidents to which the new fire apparatus may respond, the City has obtained pricing from Alliant Insurance Services (Alliant) to cover any physical damage to the equipment for the life of the seven-year Lease/Purchase Agreement. The coverage for annual premium pricing assuming immediate delivery was quoted last fall at $5,850 with a $10,000 deductible (the amount originally quoted in conjunction with the Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement).

Alliant projects actual pricing is anticipated to increase an average of 25 percent yearover-year, along with rising deductible values for automotive property damage policies.

Staff expects the insurance price quote may increase to approximately $10,000. Alliant also cautions that the deductible value will likely rise to as much as $100,000. This was the most competitive proposal that was received from staff outreach efforts. The premium cost will be funded from Fleet reserves.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Downtown Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Contract For Preliminary Engineering, Environmental, And Survey Services For The Lower Eastside Community Connectivity Active Transportation Plan
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute a City Professional Services contract with Quincy Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $298,917 for preliminary engineering, environmental, and survey services for the Lower Eastside Community Connectivity Active Transportation Plan.

DISCUSSION:

Background and Plan Description
The City was awarded an Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 Grant in the amount of $344,000 for the Lower Eastside Community Connectivity Active Transportation Plan (Plan) on May 13, 2020. The Plan will include a feasibility study for the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing over the U.S. Highway 101 (US 101) from the Lower Eastside neighborhood to the vicinity of Dwight Murphy Field. The feasibility study will include preliminary engineering, environmental, and survey work to establish the project scope and cost estimates for future grant applications.

The Plan area is focused on the Lower Eastside neighborhood where US 101 divides a community from the Waterfront and its myriad of facilities and activities. Walking and biking from the Lower Eastside to the Waterfront requires crossing US 101 at Milpas Street, Cacique Street, or Cabrillo Boulevard, which can add over a mile to a trip from within that neighborhood. The Plan would support the policies of the City’s Pedestrian Master Plan (PMP), which identifies the need for an improved crossing from the Lower Eastside across US 101 under Policy 1.4, which states that “the City shall work to eliminate Highway 101 as a barrier to pedestrian travel.” The PMP also identifies a possible future overcrossing between the intersection of South Canada and Pitos Streets, and Dwight Murphy Field. The Plan will also build upon Santa Barbara’s Vision Zero Strategy, which is to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.

Agenda Item No. 6
File Code No. 670.09
Council Agenda Report
Contract For Preliminary Engineering, Environmental, And Survey Services For The Lower Eastside Community Connectivity Active Transportation Plan May 24, 2022

City Council appropriated ATP grant funding for the Plan on August 11, 2020. The kickoff to the planning effort was delayed due to pandemic-related restrictions for in-person public outreach efforts and the abrupt shift in staff’s workload priorities related to pandemic conditions. In the fall of 2021, Public Works staff conducted community outreach to determine if there was support for the City to study the overcrossing location identified in the PMP, whether to study other crossing locations, and to hear what is working with existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure between the Eastside neighborhood and destinations south of the highway.

Community outreach consisted of a webinar, an in-person meeting, and an online survey.

All outreach materials and meetings were provided in English and Spanish.

Approximately 54 community members participated in the meetings, and 86 survey responses were received.

Based on the feedback received during the public outreach process, there was clear support for moving forward with studying the feasibility of a pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing between the intersection of South Canada and Pitos Streets, and Dwight Murphy Field.

Design Phase Consultant Engineering Services
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute a contract with Quincy Engineering, Inc., (Quincy) in the amount of $298,917 for preliminary engineering, environmental, and survey services. In March of 2022, staff solicited an RFP for preliminary engineering, environmental, and survey services, which includes developing up to three design options for the overcrossing. No responses were received, so staff slightly adjusted the scope of work and project timeline and solicited another RFP in April of 2022. Proposals from two firms were received. After scoring the proposals, staff concluded that Quincy is the most qualified consultant for this effort. Quincy specializes in transportation and bridge engineering and presented a team that has specific experience working on pedestrian and bicycle bridges that involve Caltrans’ oversight.

Community Outreach
Once the preliminary design options are developed and project constraints are identified, staff will return to the community with in-person and online public meetings to share the design concepts and receive community feedback. Notifications for this outreach will include posts on the project webpage and social media outlets used by the City, as well as information distributed through the Santa Barbara Unified School District and applicable neighborhood schools. The design concepts will also be reviewed at the Architectural Board of Review and the Transportation and Circulation Committee meetings where the public will have the opportunity to comment.

Council Agenda Report
Contract For Preliminary Engineering, Environmental, And Survey Services For The Lower Eastside Community Connectivity Active Transportation Plan May 24, 2022

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The Plan is funded by an ATP Grant. The following summarizes the estimated total Plan costs:

ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST
City Plan Administration $45,083
Consultant Preliminary Design (Engineering, Environmental, and Survey Services)
$298,917
Total Plan Cost $344,000
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Streets Grant Capital Fund budget in Fiscal Year 2022 to fund the contract, including extra services, with Quincy for preliminary design costs for the Plan.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The Plan will identify implementation measures to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists and will contribute to the City’s sustainability goals by encouraging more people to walk and bike, thus reducing energy consumption and air pollution. The Plan is also consistent with the City’s Vision Zero Strategy, which aims to eliminate fatalities and severe injuries on City roadways.

A copy of the contract may be requested from the Public Works Department for public review by contacting [email protected].

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Plan will require review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24,2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Administration Division, Library Department
SUBJECT: Agreement Between The Library Department And Family Service Agency Of Santa Barbara For Support Services And Outreach To Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the Library Director to execute a City Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $134,938 with the Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara to provide support services and outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness through a contracted position that would work in collaboration with Library staff through June 30, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

As part of FY22 budget reconciliation, City Council directed staff to investigate models for providing a social services support worker that would be based out of the Library.

Direction was also given to consider the legal and liability issues associated with housing such a position compared to contracted services through the County, CityNet, or another agency.

After reviewing several options, staff recommend entering into a contract with Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara (FSA) to provide personnel that will serve as outreach to individuals living in a state of homelessness, including vehicular homelessness, that spend time in the building and on the grounds of Santa Barbara Public Library (SBPL).

The primary mission of outreach workers will be to contact homeless individuals and families, establish a positive relationship, and connect them with needed services. This contracted position will work in tandem with Library staff on the Library’s Adult Education team, both inside the Library and by offering outreach services to establish a volunteer program to help individuals become document ready in order to be eligible for housing, in addition to promoting the Library’s literacy and workforce development programs to this population.

Agenda Item No. 7
File Code No. 610.04
Council Agenda Report
Agreement Between The Library Department And Family Service Agency Of Santa Barbara For Support Services And Outreach To Individuals Experiencing Homelessness May 24, 2022

The Library currently partners with FSA formally in the Adult Education division and informally with our Youth Services division. The anticipated benefits of this position are increased access to resource navigation for our houseless neighbors and additional support for the work the Library has done with SB ACT, the City’s partner on coordination of homelessness response. Library staff hope that this connects vulnerable residents with needed services within the Library and with community agencies, and ultimately helps more people access housing.

In October 2021, the Library executed a contract with FSA for a Family Support Worker position and FSA had two failed recruitments.

Library staff considered other alternatives, such as a CityNet case worker. CityNet caseworkers exclusively work with people currently experiencing homelessness, and while their services would be beneficial to Library patrons and operations, would not be able to offer any preventative social services navigation to vulnerable populations that are at risk of homelessness or other family crisis situations, and routinely seek social service referrals at the Library. A contracted FSA social worker would be able to provide a high level of professional service to people currently experiencing homelessness or those at risk.

Both FSA and Library staff reviewed options and determined a Social Worker position would be better suited to the Library’s needs and would more likely result in successfully filling the position.

This contract covers a 14 month period in order to have a renewal date of July 1, 2023 to align with the Fiscal Year calendar.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The total cost for an annual contract with Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara is $134,938 and is well within the FY2022 budgeted amount. An additional 10% has been added to the cost of the contract as a contingency to cover costs of computer use, phone use, and any other incidental supplies.

A copy of the contract/agreement may be requested from the Library for public review; please email [email protected] to request a copy.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Administration Division, Parks and Recreation Department SUBJECT: Memorandum Of Understanding With CommUnify For The South Coast Youth Safety Partnership
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with CommUnify related to the City’s participation in the South Coast Task Force on Youth Safety.

DISCUSSION:

In July 2010, the Community Action Commission (now CommUnify) agreed to serve as the host agency for a regional effort to prevent youth gang violence in the Santa Barbara South Coast area. The City has been a co-sponsor since that time. The Cities of Goleta and Carpinteria and the County of Santa Barbara continue as sponsors and CommUnify continues to act as the host agency.

The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with CommUnify is for a two-year term and would commit the City’s funding of $63,736 for Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2022. The MOU states the guiding principles and vision of the program, defines the role of the Partnership Coordinator employed by the host agency, identifies planned program improvements and proposes a program budget and agency partner for cost sharing in Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2022.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Chief’s Staff, Police Department
SUBJECT: Increase In Professional Services Agreement No. 26,871 With Data Ticket, Inc. For Electronic Parking Citation Services
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the increase of Professional Service Agreement No. 26,871 with Data Ticket, Inc., by $240,000 for electronic parking citation services for the next two fiscal years. This amendment will bring the total value of the three-year agreement to $725,000.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The Police Department has 12 full-time Parking Enforcement Officers (PEOs) that enforce on-street parking regulations within City limits (approximately 42 square miles), which includes regulations related to timed zones, residential parking permit areas, and street sweeping. PEOs also enforce five surface City parking lots for appropriate permits.

Since 2015, the Department has utilized an outside vendor for electronic parking citation services. The services are a consolidation of citation equipment, citations, noticing, billing and revenue collection.

In January 2020, the City entered into a new parking citation services agreement with Data Ticket, Inc. for a period of three years. Shortly after implementing the new system, the Department requested additional services from Data Ticket. The additional services were in response to the closure of the public lobby and the lockdown of services due to COVID-19 restrictions. These services included contract management for both regular contracts and individuals applying for indigent contracts. By adding these services, individuals could manage all of their parking needs online. In April 2021, the Department added hearing review services; these services reduced the time needed to schedule reviews and streamlined the review process.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Downtown Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: 2022 Bicycle Master Plan Update And Addendum
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council receive an update on the 2016 Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) implementation effort and approve an addendum to the BMP that includes updated maps showing existing, funded, and proposed bike facilities since BMP adoption; and find the map updates consistent with the City’s Circulation Element, Bicycle Master Plan and Vision Zero Strategy.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s first BMP dates back to 1974 with updates in 1998 and 2016. The 2016 BMP was a result of robust community outreach focusing on four goals:
1) Safety for all road users;
2) Closing the gaps in the bike network;
3) Designing and constructing complete streets and multi-modal access; and 4) Developing a Santa Barbara style of bicycle infrastructure.

The community-driven 2016 BMP identified bikeway projects to help create a continuous bicycle network and enhance safety. These projects were prioritized across three phases with milestone implementation years of 2020, 2025, and 2030. Phase 1 and 2 projects are described in more detail in the 2016 BMP Phase 1 and Phase 2 Projects and Implementation Summary (Attachment 1).

Subsequent to the Council’s adoption of the 2016 BMP, Council adopted the Vision Zero Strategy in 2018 to eliminate severe injuries and fatalities on City roadways. The ethos of Vision Zero became an additional driver for identifying and implementing active transportation projects from an injury prevention perspective. An example of this is the State Street Undercrossing Project, which will add protected on-street bike lanes between Gutierrez and Yanonali Streets to address a collision pattern of bike-involved collisions.

Another example is along Chapala Street from Sola to Mission, where a pattern of vehicle collisions can be addressed with the removal of a northbound vehicular lane. The vehicular lane removal will provide the opportunity to install an on-street bike lane, which Agenda Item No. 11
File Code No. 670.04
Council Agenda Report
2022 Bicycle Master Plan Update And Addendum

will connect to existing and planned bike infrastructure. This new bike lane on Chapala Street was not identified during the 2016 BMP, but instead was identified as part of a Vision Zero collision reduction strategy for Chapala Street.

In October 2021, staff provided a detailed update to the Transportation and Circulation Committee (TCC) on the implementation of the 2016 BMP identified projects, as well as scope changes of those projects that received prior community support and subsequent City Council approval. Staff also provided an update on Vision Zero projects that resulted in additional bike facilities. Staff returned to the TCC on April 28, 2022, with updated 2022 BMP Existing, Funded, and Proposed Facilities Maps documenting the existing, funded, and proposed bike routes (Attachment 2), and minor updates to the Implementation Summary (Attachment 1). At that meeting, the TCC recommended these map updates as an addendum to the BMP, and found the map updates consistent with the City’s Circulation Element, Bicycle Master Plan, and Vision Zero Strategy.

The updates include further details on the types of bikeway facilities, and whether the bike facility is part of a larger project, Vision Zero effort, or routine Pavement Maintenance program. These additional details will help create a definitive record of bike infrastructure as projects are completed.

While the 2022 BMP Existing, Funded, and Proposed Facilities Maps are static in the current iteration, staff are working to develop a dynamic/interactive map that can show additional bike project implementation status details such as date of construction, type of facility, and length of routes. Ideally, this map will be made interactive, publicly accessible, and regularly updated to reflect progress.

NEXT STEPS:

This addendum to the Bicycle Master Plan demonstrates changes to the 2016 BMP since adoption, Vision Zero projects that resulted in changes to bike facilities as a result of a Vision Zero collision analysis, and other relevant bike facility details. This update acts as a point-in-time snapshot of our City-wide existing, funded, and proposed bike facilities as of 2022. These maps will require future updates to reflect changes as new projects are completed.

As projects are funded, City staff will continue with community outreach of the BMP and Vision Zero identified projects throughout the projects’ design and construction phases.

The final phase of BMP implementation is anticipated to be completed by 2030 when Staff aim to return to the community with a major update to the BMP. Until then, updates or addendums to the 2016 BMP are anticipated to reflect changes to the existing facilities maps as projects get funded and constructed, or when major scope changes arise.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The proposed action has no financial impact on the City.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Implementation of the 2016 BMP will have a positive impact on Santa Barbara’s sustainability goals. The BMP has the potential to reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions and implements many of the Circulation Element policies to provide complete streets and alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle for short trips. One of the primary goals of the plan is to improve sustainable transportation infrastructure, while public safety and public health will also experience positive outcomes as a result of plan implementation.

77 the new segments would touch, thereby adding connections and closing gaps in the network. Traffic impact was studied with the City’s traffic model at the citywide level and at key intersections. The model can only study bike projects where a vehicle lane is removed or converted to one-way operation. Therefore, this analysis was only applicable to a few projects. Of these corridors, segments with lower potential traffic impacts received higher scores. Bikeway types were quantified based on level of comfort for the bike rider. Bikeways where there is less bicyclist-motorist interaction received higher scores. Finally, scores based on community input received at the neighborhood summits were tallied.Each bikeway segment was given a score, which was then averaged for each overall project. Scores for safety enhancement, connectivity/gap closure, traffic impact, and bikeway quality were totaled for each project and then divided by the project’s total estimated cost. Projects are ranked by this benefit-cost score, so projects with the best ratio of cost to positive impact are at the top of the priority/phasing list, while those with a relative higher cost to their positive impact are lower down on the list.

MAKING IT HAPPENThe community-driven 2016 Santa Barbara Bicycle Master Plan presents 28 proposed bikeway projects (including the 7 Recommended Projects discussed in the previous chapter) that will help create a continuous bicycle network and enhance safety. While each project is integral to reaching these goals, it is helpful to prioritize them in order to guide the phasing of project implementation. A cost-benefit analysis was completed that prioritizes network improvements based on BMP goals as well as ease and cost of implementation. The 28 proposed bikeway projects for the SB BMP are made up of many segments, which range in length, existing conditions, and proposed bikeway type. These diversifying aspects have been translated into scores for each project to help determine project phasing and prioritization.Each project was given a score of 0 to 3 for each of the following five categories: 1) potential for safety enhancement, 2) connectivity/gap closure, 3) potential impact on auto traffic, 4) bikeway quality, and 5) community input. Safety enhancement was calculated using the number of reported bicycle-related traffic collisions, giving higher scores to segments where a bikeway improvement might have the greatest potential to reduce collisions. Connectivity/gap closure looked at how many existing bicycle facilities Attachment 1

2016 Bicycle Master Plan Implementation Summary 2016 Bicycle Master Plan Implementation Summary Updated April 18, 2022
2016 Bicycle Master Plan
Summary of Phase 1 Projects and Programs and Phase 2 Projects Phase 1 Projects and Programs (Milestone Target: Begin Implementation by 2020) Capital Projects
State Street Green Lanes (Phase 1): Status: On hold. The purpose of the project was to supplement green conflict intersection striping to the existing on-street bikes lanes along State Street from Mission Street to Cabrillo Blvd. State Street is the spine of the City’s bicycle network and the project would address a collision pattern history of right turning vehicles colliding with cyclists. The striping through the intersections provides a continuation of the bicycle path of travel by increasing driver awareness of the potential presence of cyclists. This project was put on hold when the pandemic hit. As a temporary measure, green conflict striping was installed in 2021 at intersections throughout the State Street Promenade as a safety measure to minimize conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers when crossing the perpendicular streets to State Street. The long term project will continue to be on hold until the State Street Revitalization Master Plan is approved by City Council. Through this effort, it may be determined that a higher level bike facility is needed, as State Street is a Council identified Vision Zero Priority Corridor due to a pattern of serious injury collisions.

Cota/Haley Green Lanes: Status: Funded/Construction 2022. The Cota Street Protected Bike Lane, a Class II buffered bike lane with flexible delineators running from Chapala Street to Milpas Street, was installed in 2018, and an on-street bike lane on Haley Street was installed in 2012. Green intersection conflict striping will be installed along Cota and Haley Streets between Chapala and Milpas Streets with the upcoming Eastside Community Paseos Project that is on schedule for construction in 2022. The green bike lane treatment was a response to the community during the BMP’s robust outreach effort to improve existing bicycle facilities. The striping through the intersections provides a continuation of the bicycle path of travel by increasing driver awareness of the potential presence of cyclists. This project is mainly funded by the State’s Active Transportation Program Grant (ATP) and will provide safer routes for Eastside residents to travel to and from Downtown.

Canon Perdido Street Enhanced Route: Status: On hold. This project has been identified as a “Lower Priority” project that may need reevaluation to determine longterm viability. Per input from the City’s Principal Traffic Engineer, there is not currently a timeline for implementation for this project, and it may be removed entirely pending reevaluation. There will be an eastbound on-street bike lane installed along Ortega Street between Chapala and Santa Barbara Junior High with the Eastside Community Paseos Project. Ortega Street is two streets down from Canon Perdido and provides a higher level bike facility than the one identified along Canon Perdido Street.

Attachment 1

Updated April 18, 2022
Alisos Street Bike Boulevard: Status: Funded/Construction 2022. This project is part of the Eastside Community Paseos Project, and will be implemented in 2022.

Along this bike friendly street, pedestrians and cyclists using Alisos Street will no longer have stop signs along Alisos Street. All the stop signs will be flipped to the perpendicular streets, which will allow cyclists to travel along Alisos Street from top to bottom without stopping. Since cyclists will still share the roadway with vehicles along Alisos, the volume of vehicles on the street needs to be lowered. To make Alisos a low volume vehicle and slower street, there will be certain features like traffic diverters and landscape peninsulas installed. Alisos Street provides a safe alternative to Milpas Street for families biking and walking to nearby schools. This project is mainly funded by the ATP.

Cabrillo/De La Vina Road Diet:

Cabrillo: Status: Funded/Complete. The Cabrillo Boulevard Safety Restriping Project was installed in 2019. Although the BMP called for eastbound and westbound bike lanes, Council approved a new roadway configuration in 2019 to East Cabrillo Boulevard as a result of a Vision Zero Collision Analysis that involved restriping from Milpas Street to the intersection at Los Patos Way. The westbound direction provided a westbound on-street bike lane and vehicular travel lane and a buffered bike lane in the eastbound direction, allowing for two eastbound lanes coming from the intersection of Ninos Drive to merge into one. Parallel parking was extended from just east of Sycamore Creek to the western border of the Santa Barbara Zoo property. This area included one eastbound lane, a 3’ buffer, a 6’ bike lane, and an additional 3’ “door zone” buffer, adjacent to the parallel parking area. At the Zoo border, parking transitioned to the City’s first back-in angle parking that continued to the start of the S-curves by the Andree Clark Bird Refuge. This project addressed patterns of vehicle and cyclist collisions through the “S” turn and U-turn involved collisions from the existing parking aisle.

Lower De La Vina: Status: Funded/Construction 2022. This project is part of the Downtown De La Vina Street Safe Crosswalks and Buffered Bike Lanes Project that will include a lane reduction between Carrillo and Haley Streets, and the addition of a buffered bike lane, curb extensions, high visibility signs, and pavement markings.

Along Haley Street from De La Vina to Chapala Streets, four parking spaces will be removed to accommodate a protected bike lane that will connect to an existing bike route that goes from Downtown to the Eastside and Lower Eastside Neighborhoods.

A separate project that is currently under construction will add corridor lighting in the project area providing improved safety at night by making pedestrians and cyclists more visible. Together these projects address significant patterns of pedestrian and cyclist involved collisions that were prevalent in the project area.

Upper De La Vina: Status: Funded/Construction 2024. The project is located on De La Vina Street from Alamar Avenue to Padre Street, on Padre Street from De La Vina Street to State Street, and the intersection of Alamar Avenue and Junipero Street.

The project will install 0.65 miles of new on-street buffered bike lanes, curb extensions at six intersections, and 210-feet of sidewalk infill to close gaps in the Attachment 1

network and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The project was awarded ATP Cycle 5 grant funding. Portions of the bike lane/striping were installed in late 2021 as part of a scheduled pavement maintenance project, and the remaining sections of the project are anticipated to be constructed in 2024.

Ortega Street Bike Lanes: Status: Funded/Construction 2022. This project provides an eastbound on-street bike lane between Chapala and Santa Barbara Junior High and will be part of the Eastside Community Paseos Project scheduled for construction in 2022. This project was also mentioned in the Canon Perdido Street Enhanced Route section, above. This project is mainly ATP funded.

Loma Alta Drive Enhanced Route: Status: On hold. This project has been identified as a “Lower Priority” project that may need reevaluation to determine long-term viability. Per input from the City’s Principal Traffic Engineer, there is not currently a timeline for implementation for this project, and it may be removed entirely pending reevaluation. There is a higher level facility along Cliff Drive planned (pending Cycle 6 ATP grant funding) that would provide a more attractive route than Loma Alta Drive from a safety and topography perspective.

Montecito/Castillo Intersection: Status: Funded for Preliminary Design in 2022/2023. The Castillo Undercrossing is located along a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, where a high number of severe and fatal collisions occur in the City. In an effort to reduce this pattern of collisions, the Castillo Undercrossing Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Improvements Vision Zero Planning Project (BMP Phase 3 Project) will facilitate preliminary design and public outreach to identify opportunities to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure through the Castillo Undercrossing, and intersection approaches (Montecito/Castillo and Castillo/Haley) to increase the safety and usability of a critical active transportation connection between West Downtown, coastal attractions, and City College. The improvements of the preliminary design may include buffered bike lanes, parkways and landscaping to provide sidewalk separation, the addition of lighting, or sidewalk infill and repair.

Preliminary design and community outreach will commence in 2022 or 2023.

Cabrillo Enhanced Route: Status: Complete. This project involved the installation of sharrows along Cabrillo Boulevard from Castillo to Milpas, and was completed in 2019 using City Streets Operations and Pavement Maintenance Program funding.

Westside Enhanced Route: Status: Partially Complete. In the City’s Lower West Neighborhood, on-street bike lanes were installed along Rancheria Street between Coronel Place and Montecito St in 2018. The Council adopted Westside and Lower West Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan (March 2020) identified bike lanes and bicycle boulevard/bike friendly street features to close the gap between the Westside and Lower West – which will provide a needed bike route connection through these neighborhoods. These improvements were part of a larger ATP grant in 2020 for the Westside and Lower West Neighborhoods. Unfortunately the grant Attachment 1

Updated April 18, 2022
was not awarded in 2020, and per Council direction in December 2021, staff will be submitting an ATP Cycle 6 grant application in 2022.

Programs: Education and Enforcement
Safe Routes to School: The City of Santa Barbara continues to fund the regional Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programming that is delivered by COAST+SB Bike.

In 2018, the City developed certain performance metrics to identify areas for SRTS program improvements. In 2019, in light of the identification of certain programmatic needs, the City increased the SRTS contribution from $15,000 annually to $18,615 annually. Current SRTS funding is applied to bike and pedestrian safety education, helmet fittings, neighborhood rides/walks, bike and walking school tallies, and school safety assessments.

Enhance Police Enforcement: As part of the Vision Zero Strategy, City Transportation Staff instituted quarterly meetings between Transportation, Streets Engineering, and the Police Department (PD). Together they targeted areas for increased enforcement, including California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grantfunded enforcement operations in areas with patterns of poor crosswalk compliance.

Staff will continue to meet with PD to better integrate Vision Zero messaging, direct enforcement, and develop longer-term approaches to address known collision patterns.

Sharrows and Share the Road: See Public Service Announcements.

Public Service Announcements: Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, City staff were mobilized to launch a public media campaign for the Vision Zero Strategy. A Vision Zero Website, Video and Community Outreach Media Kit were completed. With impacts still being felt from the pandemic, it is difficult to predict when a concerted media campaign may be most timely. In the meantime staff continues Vision Zero messaging in the City’s Streets Transportation Capital Improvement Plan as well as specific messaging of specific capital projects. Staff is also developing an approach with SRTS and bike advocacy contacts at COAST+SB Bike. In addition to Vision Zero messaging, this outreach would provide consistent messaging about safe and responsible road use and shared responsibility for all modes.

Public Bike Share: City Council gave direction to staff in May 2019 to implement a Bicycle Share Pilot Program. Council subsequently approved BCycle as the City’s Pilot Bike Share Permitted Operator in 2019. In conjunction with BCycle, the City launched the first phase of the three-year Bike Share Pilot Program on January 28, 2021. The Bike Share Pilot Program will include the installation of 500 docks that will serve a fleet of around 250 pedal-assist e-bikes. As the program develops, the City will assess whether the Bike Share Pilot Program is a good fit for Santa Barbara, and will return to City Council for direction near the end of the three-year period.

end of March 2022, the bike share system is not fully launched but doing well: with ~140 bikes in service at ~311 docks, BCycle users have logged about 100,000 trips and travelled over 386,000 miles.

Phase 2 Projects and Programs (Milestone Target: Begin Implementation by 2025) Capital Projects
Las Positas Buffered Bike Lane: Status: Completed 2022. These on street buffered bike lanes are in addition to the Las Positas /Modoc Multiuse Path Project, which was funded primarily through Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds in addition to local Measure C funds for local matching costs. The Las Positas /Modoc Multiuse Path Project was completed in early 2022, and provides a 2.6 mile-long separated pathway for bicyclists, runners, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities along Las Positas and Modoc Roads (Project was a BMP1974/1998 Project).

State Street Green Lanes (Phase 2): Status: Complete. This project is part of the BMP’s spine network, specifically focusing on portions of De La Vina and Chapala Streets in the City’s Oak Park Neighborhood. The was completed in late 2021.

Cliff Drive Class II Gap Closure Lanes: Status: Actively seeking funding through ATP Cycle 6. Given robust community outreach over the past eight years, this project was re-scoped to include a 3.1 mile long multiuse/bike path, 10 new crosswalks and safety enhancements for four existing crosswalks along Cliff Drive from the Arroyo Burro Beach County Park entrance to Castillo Street (also identified as a BMP Phase 3 Project). This project, which is also known as the Cliff Drive: Urban Highway to Complete Street Transformation Project, would close the final gap in the 30-mile long regional Coastal Bike Route. The City submitted an ATP grant in 2020 for the project and unfortunately the grant was not awarded. Per Council direction in December 2021, staff will be submitting an ATP Cycle 6 grant application in 2022.

Chino Street Bike Boulevard: Status: Scope Modified/Funded/Construction 2022.

The project’s scope of work was modified and documented in the Council-adopted Westside Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan (March 10, 2020) to change the original neighborhood route from Chino Street to San Pascual and Gillespie Streets after further traffic analysis determined that too many vehicles would need to be diverted from Chino Street onto neighboring streets. The proposed bike friendly streets along San Pascual and Gillespie Streets are a part of the Westside Community Paseos Project, with construction set to commence in spring of 2022.

This project is mainly ATP funded. While roadway volumes are low on San Pascual and Gillespie Streets, additional roadway treatments will be installed to slow vehicular speeds so cyclists of all ages and abilities feel comfortable riding along vehicles.

Anapamu Street Enhanced Route: Status: Scope Modified/Funded/Construction 2022. This project was modified as part of the Westside Community Paseos Project, Attachment 1

Updated April 18, 2022
with Sola Street as the primary bike friendly route through Downtown that eventually connects to the Westside and Eastside Neighborhoods. For cyclists traveling east along Sola Street towards Santa Barbara High School, cyclists will take a neighborhood route going through Panchita Place, Victoria Street, Alta Vista Road, and Anapamu Street. No diverters or bike lanes are proposed in this area as it is already great for biking. No parking will be removed. Small painted stencils will be added to the roadway for route wayfinding purposes.

Foothill Enhanced Route: Status: On hold. Community outreach is needed to develop this project further, and to support grant funding opportunities. The project would be a Community Paseo (bike-friendly street) within the San Roque and Hope Neighborhoods and provide an alternative to Foothill Road.

Shoreline Drive Class I Bike Path: Status: On Hold. While this project will close a critical gap in the Leadbetter Beachway Class I facility, it will be very costly to implement. Future grant funding will need to be explored.

Bath/Castillo Couplet Extension: Status: Preliminarily Analyzed and On Hold. In May 2019, the City commissioned a Traffic and Circulation study by Stantec to assess potential impacts of the project to extend the existing Bath and Castillo Streets couplet system from Mission Street to Pueblo Street and add Class II bike lanes on both streets. The results of the report indicate that extending the couplet system will result in lower levels of service at the project area intersections and increased vehicle queues at these intersections. The City is currently working with a consultant to review traffic circulation Citywide, and plan to revisit this project at a later date.

Traffic Signal Bike Detection (SR225) – Status: Partially Complete: There is partial bike detection at Cliff/Loma Alta, Cliff/Meigs, and Cliff/Mesa Lane/Flora Vista. Full bike detection of these intersections is part of the scope of the Cliff Drive: Urban Highway to Complete Street Transformation Project. New bike detection was installed at Las Positas/Veronica Springs and Las Positas/Elings Park intersections as part of the Las Positas/Modoc Multiuse Path Project.

Cabrillo/Los Patos Intersection Improvements: Status: Partially Funded/On Hold.

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements on East Cabrillo Boulevard and Replacement of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Project would provide a safe connection for pedestrians and bicyclists through the East Cabrillo corridor and improve vehicular circulation between Los Patos Way and the Highway 101 Interchange at East Cabrillo Boulevard. The project would also reconfigure the intersection of East Cabrillo Boulevard and Los Patos Way and replace the existing Union Pacific Railroad (UP) Bridge. The project includes construction of on-street bike lanes, sidewalks, and a multiuse path along Cabrillo Boulevard. Currently, Cabrillo Boulevard under the UPRR Bridge has a narrow opening that requires pedestrians and bicyclists to share the roadway shoulders with vehicular traffic.

The construction of these facilities will improve the access for all users to and from Attachment 1

Updated April 18, 2022
the Waterfront and commercial areas along Los Patos Way and Coast Village Road. This project is being coordinated with Caltrans’ 101 HOV Widening Project and will be constructed in phases, with the first phase anticipated to begin in 2023.

Canada Enhanced Route: Status: On Hold. The project would involve minor pavement markings to identify route connections to existing bike infrastructure.

Sola Bike Boulevard: Status: Funded/Construction 2022. This project is part of the Westside Community Paseos Project, with construction set to commence in 2022.

This project is ATP funded. To make Sola Street a bike friendly street, there will be four new traffic signals installed along the Sola corridor at Sola and De La Vina, Sola and Chapala, Sola and Anacapa and Sola and Santa Barbara to help improve traffic flow for both cyclists and vehicles. To reduce speeds along Sola, two traffic diverters will be installed at the intersections of Sola and De La Vina and Sola and Santa Barbara Streets. Sola Street provides critical connections through Downtown and to the Eastside and Westside neighborhoods.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Energy and Climate Division, Sustainability & Resilience Department SUBJECT: Authorize Long-Term Resource Adequacy Agreement With Tecolote Wind On Behalf Of Santa Barbara Clean Energy
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize California Choice Energy Authority to enter into a long-term Resource Adequacy agreement with Tecolote Wind, LLC. on behalf of The Santa Barbara Clean Energy Community Choice Energy Program, subject to City Attorney approval.

DISCUSSION:

In June 2021, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted Decision 21-06- 035 (Mid-Term Reliability Order)as part of its Resource Adequacy Program. The MidTerm Reliability Order (MTR) seeks to ensure that there are sufficient energy resources available to ensure electric grid reliability and to meet the state’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals for the electricity sector The MTR imposes procurement requirements on all load-serving entities (LSEs), including Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) like Santa Barbara Clean Energy (SBCE).

The MTR orders the procurement of 11,500 MW of new generation resources to come online in the years 2023 – 2026, with all the resources coming from zero-emitting sources or non-fossil fuel resources, such as renewable energy, stand-alone battery storage, renewable energy plus battery storage, and demand response. MTR contracts must be for ten years or greater from initial project delivery to the end of term. SBCE’s MTR requirement for the four-year period is 13 MW per month.

In order to meet the requirements of the Mid-Term Reliability Order, California Choice Energy Authority (CalChoice) joined with Desert Community Energy and Clean Energy Alliance to issue a joint Request for Proposals for MTR Projects in January 2022. Over 100 unique offers from 22 developers were received.

CalChoice and its legal and technical team have negotiated an agreement with Tecolote Wind, LLC project (Tecolote Wind). The project is for stand-alone battery storage located in New Mexico with a commercial delivery date of June 1, 2023.

Agenda Item No. 12
File Code No. 630.06
Council Agenda Report
Authorize Long-Term Resource Adequacy Agreement With Tecolote Wind On Behalf Of Santa Barbara Clean Energy May 24, 2022

Rev 041619
As a condition of the contract, Tecolote Wind recognizes and accepts the secured deposit account in the name of the City of Santa Barbara as credit and collateral, and no other security or credit backing from the city will be required. Tecolote Wind, upon approval by the City and CalChoice, will execute a joinder to the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, ensuring the protection of the City’s general fund.

The agreement does not fulfill the entire MTR requirements, therefore, CalChoice, on behalf of SBCE and its other member agencies, continues to seek out projects that meet the MTR requirements and engage in bilateral negotiations. Staff will be returning in the upcoming months with additional contract approval requests.

On January 12, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 21-001 acknowledging that SBCE is a “utility” under the Santa Barbara Charter and, as such, long-term contracts over five years in duration for the procurement of energy do not require City Council approval by ordinance but do require City Council review and approval, where feasible.

The agreement is available for review by request to [email protected]; however, per the SBCE Cost Confidentiality Policy adopted by Council on May 25, 2021, sensitive pricing information has been redacted.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

SBCE’s total financial commitment, as part of this agreement, is not to exceed $2.1 Million over the 15 year term of the agreement.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

SBCE offers substantially more renewable and cleaner (carbon-free) electricity than currently delivered by Southern California Edison (SCE). Surplus revenues generated by SBCE may be used to develop energy programs, local projects and incentives to further achieve the objectives set forth in the Strategic Energy Plan or other City goals outlined in other plans, such as the Climate Action Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City of Santa Barbara has determined that Santa Barbara Clean Energy does not constitute a project subject to environmental review under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The activity to implement and operate SBCE is an administrative action that will not result in a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change to the environment. The activity is therefore exempt from CEQA environmental review pursuant to the CEQA statute (Public Resources Code Section 21065) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15060 and 15378) under which a project subject to CEQA environmental review does not include “organizational or administrative activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” Implementing and operating SBCE presents no foreseeable significant adverse impact to Council Agenda Report

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Appeal Of The Single Family Design Board’s Approval Of Development At 1460 La Cima Road
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council consider the appeal of Beth Collins, on behalf of Scott and Katrina McCosker, of the Single Family Design Board’s approval of development associated with an existing single-family residence at 1460 La Cima Road.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On March 14, 2022, the Single Family Design Board (SFDB) granted Project Design Approval and Final Approval to demolish a two-car garage and concrete driveway associated with a single-story residence located at 1460 La Cima Road, and to construct a new two-car garage with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above. The proposal also included the extension of an existing deck, a new driveway, a retaining wall, and associated site work. The property is owned by Christopher and Roberta Tracy.

On March 24, 2022, Beth Collins filed an appeal of the SFDB’s approval on behalf of Scott and Katrina McCosker, neighbors located at 1464 La Cima Road. The appellant’s letter primarily asserts that the plans lacked the necessary information to approve the project, therefore the Single Family Design Board did not have the proper information and evidence necessary to support the applicable findings. The appellant also asserts that the project poses inconsistencies with the Single Family Residence Design Guidelines and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Attachment 1 – Appellant Letter).

DISCUSSION:

Project Description
The project involves demolition of the existing garage and concrete driveway on a lot developed with a single-story residence, and construction of a 656-square-foot, two-car Agenda Item No. 13
File Code No. 640.07
Council Agenda Report

garage, with a 685-square-foot ADU above. The project also includes expansion of an existing deck, a new concrete driveway and walkway, retaining wall, and associated site work. The proposed total of 3,328 square feet on a 11,326-square-foot lot is 85 percent of the maximum floor-to-lot area ratio allowed.

Project Background
Accessory Dwelling Units
In general, ADUs are processed as ministerial applications and do not include discretionary review; however, an applicant may request discretionary review for variations of the architectural review criteria outlined in Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 30.185.040, or to request a Zoning Modification. In this case, discretionary review by the SFDB is required as the access stairway and proposed second-story ADU are designed as an extension to the existing residence and are not constructed exclusively over a garage. Discretionary review is also required for the garage and other site improvements, as the property is located in the Hillside Design District on a property with an average slope exceeding 20 percent.

Design Review
The project was reviewed by the SFDB on four occasions: July 8, 2019, September 28, 2020, October 25, 2021, and March 14, 2022. The owner of 1464 La Cima Road was present and provided public comment in general opposition at each hearing. The project was modified several times in response to comments by the SFDB, and to address concerns expressed by the neighbor.

At the initial concept review, the proposed building encroached into the required 20-foot front setback and required a Zoning Modification. This iteration provided exterior stairway access to the ADU between the interior property line shared with 1464 La Cima and the new building addition. The Board requested that the applicant study locating the ADU below the new garage, rather than as a two-story component, and incorporating landscape screening between 1460 and 1464 La Cima Road.

In September 2020, the applicant returned with a design that conformed to the required front setback; however, the project had been modified from a two-car garage to a threecar garage, and included a small storage area below. In an attempt to address the neighbor’s privacy concerns, the applicant relocated the ADU exterior access to the area adjacent to the existing residence. The applicant noted they had studied the option of locating the ADU behind or below the garage, however, the idea was not pursued due to perceived concerns related to livability of the unit, increased grading, and a tiered building configuration resulting in less permeable area on the property due to the expanded building footprint. The Board requested that the applicant provide a landscape plan and study eliminating windows on the west elevation to address privacy concerns of the neighbors at 1464 La Cima Road.

Council Agenda Report
Appeal Of The Single Family Design Board’s Approval Of Development At 1460 La Cima Road
May 24, 2022

In October of 2021, the applicant requested Project Design Approval for a design that had reduced the three-car garage to a two-car garage, and eliminated the storage area below, with the ADU remaining at the second story. The new design incorporated the ADU access stairway as an interior component, and removed all fenestration from the west elevation facing 1464 La Cima Road. The Board provided general support of the project in terms of bulk and scale, commenting that the design was in keeping with the general context of the neighborhood, and appreciated that earlier comments related to fenestration on the westerly elevation had been addressed. The Board continued the project without granting Project Design Approval, directing the applicant to study the fenestration on the second story of the south elevation and consider turning the orientation of the gable to an easterly/westerly direction to make the addition harmonious with the existing residence as viewed from La Cima Road.

On March 14, 2022, the project was reviewed for both Project Design Approval and Final Approval. The Board expressed appreciation for the applicant’s responsiveness to their comments and made the required Neighborhood Preservation Findings and Hillside Design District and Sloped Lot Findings.

Scope of Appeal & Evidence
Pursuant to SBMC section 22.69.080.C., Council must make the necessary findings and decide the appeal based on the record of the proceeding from the SFDB. New evidence is not considered unless Council determines that relevant evidence exists that could not have been produced at the hearings or was improperly excluded at the hearings. The findings necessary for approval of the project are set forth in Attachment 5 and are reflected in the minutes of SFDB’s unanimous approval of the project on March 14, 2022 (Attachment 3.)
Appeal Issues
On March 24, 2022, on behalf of Scott and Katrina McCosker, Beth Collins filed an appeal of the SFDB’s granting of Project Design Approval and Final Approval for the proposed development. Specific appeal issues and responses are identified below.

1. Scheduling for Project Design Approval and Final Approval The appellant asserts that the project was scheduled for Project Design Approval and Final Approval without the information required by the City’s Ordinance and procedures and the City’s Final Approval Checklist. In advance of the October 2021 hearing, the project was reviewed for application completeness and was determined to be complete for purposes of the Permit Streamlining Act (PSA). The applicant also provided a Final Approval Checklist, noting the relevant plan sheets and required details, as applicable to the project. The project complies with the maximum allowable building height and with solar access height limitations for the zone. The SFDB’s purview is specific to aesthetics related to the design, site planning, and architecture, and the Board has the discretion to determine whether Council Agenda Report
Appeal Of The Single Family Design Board’s Approval Of Development At 1460 La Cima Road
May 24, 2022

or not sufficient information has been provided to take an action on a project. No additional information was requested.

A grading plan prepared by a licensed architect or civil or structural engineer generally is required when grading exceeds 250 cubic yards outside of the main building footprint and the average slope of the site is greater than 15 percent. The civil engineer for the project did provide earthwork calculations and grading sections on the plans presented at the October 2021 hearing, but these were not included in the plan set reviewed by the Board in March 2022. The approved project plans do include a landscape plan with identified plantings, a door and window schedule, and other information typical for Project Design Approval and Final Approval.

The project was also reviewed by the City’s Creeks Division for compliance with the Storm Water Management Plan, and deemed acceptable to be scheduled for Final Approval. Prior to building permit issuance, the plans will be reviewed again as part of building permit plan check, and must comply with all Ordinances and building code requirements.

2. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The appellant asserts that construction of the garage and ADU on the property may result in environmental hazards associated with development. The project site is subject to high landslide potential, low expansive soils, and high erosion potential, which will be addressed through standard building permit requirements such as site investigations, project-specific engineering, and building code compliance. The appellant cites a septic system on the property, with the potential to result in environmental impacts; City records note removal of the septic tank, and the property currently receives City sewer service.

The project was found to be categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), which allows for demolition and removal of individual small structures, and Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which allows for the construction of a new single-unit residence or ADU. No significant project-specific or cumulative impacts on the environment are expected as a result of the project, the project does not have the potential to damage scenic highways or historic resources, and the project site is not identified as a hazardous waste site; therefore, none of the categorical exceptions (per Guidelines Section 15300.2) apply.

3. Single Family Residence Design Guidelines
In general, the appellant contends that the design is not compatible with the neighborhood and poses consistency issues with the Single Family Residence Design Guidelines (SFRDG)1, ultimately impacting the SFDB’s ability to make the 1 Single Family Residence Design Guidelines [Compatibility Guidelines; Two-Story Design Concepts; Hillside Housing Design Guidelines (Natural Surroundings, Height and Proportions, Apparent Height, Council Agenda Report
Appeal Of The Single Family Design Board’s Approval Of Development At 1460 La Cima Road
May 24, 2022

required Neighborhood Preservation Findings and Hillside Design District and Sloped Lot Findings. The SFRDG is intended to help design homes that are compatible with the neighborhood, preserve visual resources, and promote sustainability. The Guidelines recommend design choices that limit impacts to neighbors and ensure projects are sensitive with respect to placement and architectural appearance.

The SFDB is tasked with ensuring that single-family development is compatible in design and material, and in size, bulk, and scale with the surrounding neighborhood. In order to minimize the overall mass of the project, the new building addition is located in-line with the existing residence, and is in keeping with the architectural detailing and color. The surrounding neighborhood includes a mix of one- and two-story residences; immediately adjacent to the site is a two-story residence at 1464 La Cima Road and a one-story residence at 1420 La Cima Road.

On March 14, 2022, the SFDB found the size, bulk, and scale, and specifically the two-story element, to be commensurate with other residences in the neighborhood.

The Board also commented that the proposed design’s impacts on natural topography were appropriate, given the opportunity to provide off-street parking, and they noted that the applicant had made attempts to work with the neighbor in accordance with the Good Neighbor Guidelines (Attachment 4 – SFRDG). At the March 2022 hearing, and the prior October 2021 hearing, the Board commented overall about the minimal grading proposed, and noted that the effects on natural topography were justified. The project had been modified over the course of several hearings, eliminating all fenestration and lighting to address potential privacy issues for the neighbor, adjusting the architecture so the upper floor is stepped back, relocating the ADU stairway access furthest away from the neighbor to the west, and redesigning the stairway to be an interior component.

4. Prior Modification
The appellant notes that a prior Zoning Modification was granted on October 21, 1976, for the existing parking structure located in the front setback. This appeal issue is not relevant as this project involves a new structure designed to conform to the required setbacks. Additionally this was not information presented during any of the hearings and was not considered by the SFDB.

5. Noticing Procedures
The appellant contends that her clients were not adequately notified of the March 2022 SFDB hearing. A mailed public notice was provided to owners and tenants within 300 feet of the site and all interested parties at least ten calendar days before the initial Project Design Approval hearing in October of 2021, and again in February of 2022 for review on February 14, 2022. The February hearing date was postponed to a date certain of March 14, 2022, which was consistent with the City’s Grading, Grading for Driveways, Architectural Features, Neighborhood Compatibility); Good Neighbor Guidelines & Tips.]

noticing procedures. The McCoskers were notified of the March 14, 2022 hearing date in advance, and this information was provided on the February 14, 2022, meeting agenda announcing the postponement. In addition, the McCoskers and their agent, Sarah Bronstad, received courtesy email updates as Interested Parties to the project. Sarah Bronstad and Attorney Beth Collins spoke at public comment on March 14, 2022 on behalf of the McCoskers. Written correspondence was also submitted by Scott and Katrina McCosker for SFDB consideration in advance of that hearing.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Under the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301 and 15303, of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, staff has determined that the project is eligible for a categorical exemption.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

There is no anticipated budgetary or financial impact associated with the project.

CONCLUSION:

If the City Council chooses to uphold the Single Family Design Board’s approval of the project, and deny the appeal, Council may adopt the findings made by the SFDB, or make new or additional findings as identified in Attachment 5. If City Council cannot make the findings, then Council may uphold the appeal and state the reasons why the findings cannot be made.

Motion: Continue indefinitely to Full Board with comments:

1. The Board is generally supportive of the bulk and scale of the project, it is in keeping with general context of neighborhood.

2. The Board appreciates that the applicant has responded to prior comments related to fenestration on the westerly elevation.

3. The applicant is directed to study the fenestration on south elevation, specifically on the second level where the ADU is; the goal is to achieve some organization or regularity with that fenestration as it relates to the openings and architecture below.

4. The applicant shall consider turning the orientation of the ridge of the gable over the ADU and garage to an easterly-westerly direction in order to minimize the visual discord between the ADU and garage and the one story massing of the primary residence.

5. The applicant shall study the location of the plaster and the use of wood, and the locations where those are used, in order to create a more harmonious relationship between the proposed ADU and garage and the main residence.

6. The applicant shall illustrate in the drawings that the detailing of proposed windows and doors on the ADU and garage are closely related to, if not matching, the detailing of the existing residence.

7. The applicant shall consider reducing size of the plaster trim band (as illustrated in the second Detail 3 on sheet A7) and also reduce the size of the roof fascia at the rake of the gable.

Public comment closed at 6:18 p.m.

Motion: Project Design Approval and Final Approval with comments:

1. The Board appreciates the applicant’s responsiveness to previous comments in regard to rooflines, the front gable element, and the manner in which exterior siding materials are used. The result is a much more cohesive design that feels well integrated.

2. The project is compatible with the neighborhood in size, bulk, and scale, specifically the two-story element is not contrary to other homes in the neighborhood.

3. The Hillside Design District and Sloped Lot criteria have been met as stated in Subsection 22.69.050 of the City of Santa Barbara Municipal Code. a. The development, including the proposed structures and grading, is appropriate to the site, is designed to avoid visible scarring, and does not significantly modify the natural topography of the site or the natural appearance of any ridgeline or hillside. The Board finds that the effects on natural topography are justified given the opportunity for off-street parking that the applicant is creating.
b. The development maintains a scale and form that blends with the hillside by minimizing the visual appearance of structure(s) and the overall height of structures. The building scale is commensurate with the neighborhood because of other second-story residences in the neighborhood.

4. The Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance criteria have been met as stated in Subsection 22.69.050 of the City of Santa Barbara Municipal Code. a. The nature of the architectural materials and appearance of the residence as proposed is consistent with the scenic character of the City and more specifically with the neighborhood.
b. The proposed development is compatible with the neighborhood, and its size, bulk, and scale is appropriate to the site and neighborhood. c. The proposed buildings and structures are designed with quality architectural details. The proposed materials and colors maintain the natural appearance of the ridgeline or hillside.
d. The proposed project does not include the removal of or significantly impact any designated Specimen Tree, Historic Tree or Landmark Tree. If the project includes the removal of any healthy, non-invasive tree with a diameter of four inches (4”) or more measured four feet (4’) above natural grade, the project includes a plan to mitigate the impact of such removal by planting replacement trees in accordance with applicable tree replacement ratios. e. The public health, safety, and welfare are appropriately protected and preserved.
f. The project generally complies with the Good Neighbor Guidelines regarding privacy, landscaping, noise and lighting. The applicant has attempted to work with neighbors in regard to Good Neighbor Guidelines. Lighting is conditioned to be night sky compliant.
g. The development, including proposed structures and grading, preserves significant public scenic views of and from the hillside. No public views are affected by the project.

Action: Colasse /Moticha, 6/0/0. Motion carried.
