RECOMMENDATION:
That Finance Committee consider and recommend that City Council:
A. Approve the establishment of a new Low-Income Homeowner Rehabilitation Pilot Program by providing up to $50,000 in grant funding to Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County to operate the program, and authorize the Community Development Director to execute such agreements and related documents, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney, as necessary; and B.

DISCUSSION:
Background
Established in 2000, Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County (Habitat) is a local nonprofit committed to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
Habitat partners with low-income individuals and families in Southern Santa Barbara County to build or improve a place to call home. Homeowners build alongside volunteers and purchase their home, paying an affordable mortgage. Habitat has built 22 new homes for 84 people (half of whom are children) and led efforts to rebuild and repair 180 homes across Santa Barbara’s south county. Habitat has also contributed to more than 430 new homes constructed internationally. Habitat is an equal housing agency.
Agenda Item No. 1
File Code No. 610.04
Finance Committee Agenda Report
Establish Low-Income Homeowner Rehabilitation Pilot Program for City Residents through Habitat for Humanity with $50,000 Allocation from Inclusionary Housing Reserve Funds
January 24, 2023
Proposal
Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization Homeowner Rehabilitation Programs assists LowIncome individuals, families, and seniors living in the City of Santa Barbara with necessary home repairs, accessibility modifications, and aging-in-place adaptations to remain safely in their homes. Home repairs are confirmed for applicants who own their home, earn an income below 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), live within city limits, and demonstrate urgent need based on other criteria.
Funding Request
Habitat is requesting grant funding totaling up to $50,000 to operate a pilot program that will help Low-Income owners make needed repairs on their residences. Habitat staff will manage the pilot program from the initial application solicitations, through application submissions, evaluations, and qualifications. Habitat will work directly with both homeowners and contractors andsubcontractors to develop the necessary scope of work, obtain any required permits, and oversee the construction process to successful completion. This work will include payment of funds to contractors and subcontractors for completed work. No funding will be paid directly to homeowners.
Program Need
Investment in the Homeowner Rehabilitation Pilot Program is beneficial for several reasons:
A one-time investment in a home repair can greatly extend the life of the home and is far more cost-effective than new construction. The average cost of a home repair is approximately $5,000 while new construction costs can be as high as $500/square foot (ref: SIMA Corp).
It is critical that Santa Barbara retains its current affordable housing stock through rehabilitations that ensure decent and sustainable housing. Safe, decent, and affordable housing creates an environment of safety and security for all residents.
The vast majority of government funding targets rental housing exclusively. While this is important, Santa Barbara has a vast array of affordable housing needs, including low- and very low-income households who own their home but have scarce resources for needed repairs.
Program Statistics
Habitat Program data captured since the beginning of the COVID pandemic in 2020 indicates as follows:
Habitat’s home repair clients are 78 years old, on average. Seventy percent of households served include homeowners who have a disability. Average annual income of homeowner repair clients is below $30,000 annually.
Finance Committee Agenda Report
Establish Low-Income Homeowner Rehabilitation Pilot Program for City Residents through Habitat for Humanity with $50,000 Allocation from Inclusionary Housing Reserve Funds
January 24, 2023
All homeowners served are at or below 80 percent of the AMI for Santa Barbara County.
Conclusion
Staff supports Habitat’s request to establish and operate a pilot program in order to assist Low-Income homeowners with needed home repairs. Attending to repair and rehabilitation needs will ensure preservation of housing, enabling Low-Income households to remain in their homes. This effort will also contribute to the City’s goals as outlined in the City’s General Plan Housing Element, Housing Opportunities Policy, Section H2, which states: “Promote equal housing opportunities for all segments of the community, with special emphasis given to extremely low, very low, low, moderate, middle income and special needs households.” Looking forward, this new program will address the City’s updated 2023 Housing Element Goal 5 – Preserve Housing Policy 5.1, which states: “Encourage the maintenance and repair of existing owner-occupied housing to prevent deterioration and assist property owners that can demonstrate financial need in upgrading substandard units.”
Habitat has operated the same program for the County of Santa Barbara for the past year and has an excellent record of providing successful rehabilitation projects that address the needs of several households in the community. By offering a one-year pilot program, the City can assess the success of the program before committing to supporting an ongoing Program.
Staff requests that the Finance Committee recommend that City Council approve the $50,000 pilot program in order to provide Low-Income households residing in the City with the resources needed to repair and preserve their housing.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
There are sufficient funds available in the General Fund Inclusionary Housing Reserve to fully fund the proposed $50,000 Pilot Program. The Inclusionary Housing Reserve has approximately $717,000 in available reserve funds. If the proposed $50,000 grant is approved, the Inclusionary Housing Reserve will be left with approximately $667,000 in available reserve funds. Any funds that are not used during the initial Pilot Program will remain in the Inclusionary Housing Reserve. If the pilot program is deemed successful and Council supports continued funding, the unexpended funds will be used to fund the next program year.

About Habitat Santa Barbara:
Established in 2000, Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County is a local nonprofit committed to building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. We partner with low-income individuals and families in Southern Santa Barbara County to build or improve a place to call home. Homeowners build alongside volunteers and purchase their home, paying an affordable mortgage. Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County has built 22 new homes for 84 people, 50% of which are children, led efforts to rebuild and repair 180 homes across Santa Barbara’s south county, and contributed to 430+ new homes constructed internationally. Habitat Santa Barbara is an equal housing agency.
About Neighborhood Revitalization & Home Repair Program:
Habitat for Humanity’s Neighborhood Revitalization Homeowner Rehabilitation Programs assist low-income individuals, families and seniors with necessary home repairs, accessibility modifications and aging-in-place adaptations to remain safely in their homes. Home repairs are confirmed for applicants who own their home, are income verified below 80% AMI, and demonstrate an urgent need among other selection criteria.
Under the Neighborhood Revitalization program, we operate the A Brush with Kindness program which provides external home repairs which may include stair repairs, wheelchair ramps, clearing pathways, etc. and the Critical Home Repair program which provides larger interior kitchen and bathroom accessibility modifications, roof replacement, partial or whole-home repairs in critical need safety areas.
We leverage all grants with donated volunteer labor, in-kind donations of appliances and building materials and in-kind donations of professional labor. A typical home repair will include a few of these home repair examples, depending upon the needs of the home and the age and ability of the household.
All home repair recipients complete an eligibility screening and extensive application process that includes income verifications and homeowner status at minimum. Home repairs are a grant to the homeowner, not a loan. There is no repayment back to Habitat and the program grant is currently in compliance with CDBG funds from the county already in-place for other areas of Santa Barbara. The homes we support are not deed restricted but rather are naturally affordable and we aim to preserve them as such.
The importance of the Habitat Santa Barbara Home Repair Program:
● A one-time investment in a home repair can often last a lifetime – and is far more cost-efficient than new construction. The average cost of a home repair may range from $5,000 to $25,000 while new construction costs can be as high as $500/sq foot (ref: SIMA Corp).
● Our community must maintain the naturally affordable housing we already have – otherwise a sale of that home is lost as affordable to the community’s housing continuum (homes without an affordability covenant). ● Exacerbated by the pandemic, home is a form of health care and a route to stability – as a community, we must ensure that safe, decent, and affordable housing can create an environment of safety and security for all.
ATTACHMENT 1
Contact: Jessica Wishan, CEO Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County - [email protected] or (805) 453-9648 ● A vast majority of available government funding is available exclusively to rental housing. While this is important, our Santa Barbara community has a vast array of affordable housing needs, including low and very low income homeownership households who may own their home but have essentially no resources.
Program Data (Captured since beginning of Pandemic in 2020):
● Since the start of the pandemic, the average of a home repair client is 78 years old. ● 70% of households served since the pandemic include homeowners who have a disability ● Average annual income of homeowner repair clients is below $30,000 annually.
● All homeowners served are at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Santa Barbara County.
Leverage / Strength of Habitat Home Repair Model:
● Donated Services - Many times, professional construction/trade services are donated or given at a discount, and our volunteer model is implemented wherever appropriate. Support of households is managed by trained leadership volunteers via a Family Services Committee. ● Donated Materials - Community members donate construction materials in-kind (ex: flooring, heaters, and more!).
● Sweat Equity - Homeowners and their families contribute “sweat equity” as a part of our self-sufficiency model.
● Government funding is leveraged with private monetary donations, strengthening the program outcomes.
Program Benefits of PRESERVING affordable homeownership:
● Preservation of naturally affordable housing stock
● Aging in Place and health and safety improvements.
● Accessibility Modifications
● Addressing issues that are out of compliance with local building codes. ● Program complies with fair and equal housing and addresses a critical, unmet community need.
● Homelessness prevention
Examples of past home repairs completed:
● Widening doorways to support aging in place.
● Bathroom remodels to accommodate for accessibility needs. ● Fixing / replacing a heater for individuals with health conditions. ● Installation of ADA ramps for home entries.
● Roof repairs and replacements.
● Repairing plumbing issues where running water previously did not exist. ● Repairing holes in flooring.
● Addressing infestation issues.
● Tree trimming and brush removal in dangerous circumstances and/or high-risk to fire neighborhoods.
City of Santa Barbara Funding Request:
Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County respectfully requests $50,000 from the City of Santa Barbara to support an initial start-up, pilot program in support of Neighborhood Revitalization, Home Repairs & Housing Preservation. Depending upon the needs and scope of the work, projects can range from $2,000 - $25,000 to complete work at each household which includes permits, qualifying applicants, project management, professional labor and building materials at minimum. These home repairs will be limited to within the City of Santa Barbara and all repairs will benefit individuals/families with a total annual income below 80% AMI. We anticipate being able to Contact: Jessica Wishan, CEO Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County - [email protected] or (805) 453-9648 repair 3 homes for local, low-income residents with the possibility of a maximum of 6 households served with this initial funding.
In addition to providing safe housing for households in need of repairs to their home, this program’s outcomes may include aging-in-place solutions, fall prevention, housing stability, retaining affordable housing and maintaining a healthy place to live. The broader community impact is homelessness prevention, fall prevention for seniors, community revitalization through blighted homes repaired, building code improvements, the maintenance of our local affordable housing stock and a decrease in expensive emergency community services. Improved exteriors also add to healthier, safer and more walkable neighborhoods as a whole.
Habitat Santa Barbara is the recipient of funding from the County of Santa Barbara for a CDBG program, and other Habitat affiliates across California partner with cities to successfully implement these programs. Our local organization has more than a decade of experience in operating its home repair and neighborhood revitalization program locally.
Habitat continues to focus on housing as the foundation for health, wellness, and education. We anticipate the need for home repairs to not just continue but to grow as a result of the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Barbara, a homeowner partner of Habitat Santa Barbara, is 87 and owns a home in the Hidden Valley neighborhood, but as her physical mobility deteriorated, she couldn’t afford to make the accommodations that would allow her to stay there safely and with self-sufficiency.
Barbara uses a walker to get around her house. Her severe arthritis makes it hard to move and to drive. She had an urgent surgery coming up, and bathing in a renovated bathroom was essential for her recovery. That’s when her daughter, Kim, reached out to Habitat Santa Barbara. “As a homeowner, you’re usually excluded from so many housing resources,” Kim told Habitat Santa Barbara. “But my mom is low-income. When we saw that Habitat for Humanity might be a resource for her as a homeowner on a small, fixed income, we thought it could be our only hope to keep Mom in her home.”
A crew skilled at plumbing replaced the bathtub with a walk-in shower, changed built-in fixtures that blocked Barbara’s walker, and installed a new toilet that was easier to use and reduced the risk of falls. Her adult children agreed to paint the walls and complete the finishings in the bathroom –the kind of work the nonprofit refers to as “sweat equity.” When the repair was completed, Barbara had a completely remodeled bathroom that improved her self-sufficiency, housing stability and safety.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Installment Sale Agreement for the Braemar Lift Station Rehabilitation Project [Ordinance Introduction; Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Authorizing the Execution of the Installment Sale Agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board for the Braemar Lift Station Rehabilitation Project (Project No. C-06-8602-110).
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City of Santa Barbara’s (City) Braemar Lift Station was constructed in 1962. It is the largest and most critical lift station within the collection system, with a pumping capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute. It is located at the corner of Alan Road and Cliff Drive, adjacent to Arroyo Burro Creek, and serves parts of the Hope Ranch, Campanil, and Alan Road neighborhoods, as well as Arroyo Burro Beach. This lift station pumps wastewater from the sewer collection system through 3,200 linear feet of force main along Cliff Drive, where it transitions to gravity at the corner of Cliff Drive and Mesa Lane.
Council previously awarded contracts to Carollo Engineers and Kasraie Consulting to prepare the planning and preliminary design reports as well as the floodplain evaluation for the final design of the Braemar Lift Station Rehabilitation Project (Braemar Project).
This Braemar Project will replace and update the mechanical and electrical equipment of the lift station, which was most recently renovated in 1991. After 31 years of service, the aging mechanical and electrical equipment is nearing the end of its functional life. City staff entered contract 25,866 with Carollo Engineers in March 2017 to design the rehabilitation of the station.

Council Agenda Report
Authorize Execution of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Installment Sale Agreement for the Braemar Lift Station Rehabilitation Project [Ordinance Introduction; Agreement] January 24, 2023
Installment Sale Agreement
City Council declared the following Resolutions prior to this sales agreement:
On December 8, 2020, City Council Resolution No. 20-085 authorized the Public Works Director to apply for State Revolving Funds for the Braemar Project. On December 8, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-086, declaring official intent to reimburse capital expenditures paid prior to the approval of the installment agreement.
On December 8, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-087, pledging the Wastewater Fund Net System Revenue and Wastewater Fund to pay the Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan for the Braemar Project.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
On January 5, 2023, the City received the final installment sale agreement for a 20-year loan in the maximum amount of $7,430,411, with an interest rate of 1.75%. The construction contract has been noticed for bid. The bid deadline is in early February. The proposed ordinance authorizes execution of the installment sale agreement in the maximum amount of $7,430,411 or such higher amount as necessary based upon the contract price of the competitively bid construction contract.
The City must establish rates and charges in amounts sufficient to generate net revenues equal to at least 1.20 times the total annual debt service. The City must establish a restricted reserve fund, held in the Wastewater Fund, equal to one year’s debt service funded over the course of ten years. The restricted reserve fund must be maintained for the full term of the loan and is subject to lien and pledge as security for the obligation.
This loan is structured as an installment sale agreement. In this transaction, the City “sells” the project asset to the State, and in exchange, the State pays the City for the Braemar Project with the loan proceeds. The State then “sells” the Braemar Project back to the City and the City repays the State through debt service.
City staff has reviewed installment sale agreement documentation provided by the State and recommends that Council approve the introduction and subsequent adoption of this Ordinance.
Council’s approval and authorization for the execution of the installment sale agreement will provide the funding source needed to successfully complete the design and construction of the Braemar Project. Annual installment payments for the loan have already been accounted for in the current wastewater rates.

Authorize Execution of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Installment Sale Agreement for the Braemar Lift Station Rehabilitation Project [Ordinance Introduction; Agreement] January 24, 2023
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The Braemar Project is confirmed consistent with the City’s Sea Level Rise program through hydrologic modeling of the site and will provide continued environmental sustainability and reliability to the Arroyo Burro area. The Braemar Project will improve energy efficiency for the largest lift station in the collection system through the modernization of mechanical and electrical equipment combined with control modifications that meet current best practices. In addition, the Braemar Project has been reviewed and approved for California Environmental Quality Act compliance.
The public may request a copy of the agreement for review from the Public Works Department at [email protected].

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Recreation Division, Parks and Recreation Department City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT: Municipal Code Amendments Pertaining to the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show [Ordinance Introduction]
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 Chapter 15.08 Pertaining to the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show.
DISCUSSION:
The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show (Show) is managed by the Parks and Recreation Department (Department). Municipal Code Chapter 15.08 provides the framework for the Department to manage the Show. Municipal Code Chapter 15.08 has not been amended since 1999; it refers to staff positions that no longer exist, has outdated language, and does not reflect recent changes approved by the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show Committee (Committee) and Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) through a lengthy review process. The proposed amendments address all these issues.
Background
On January 27, 2021, the Commission received a presentation that included an overview of the Show, key issues, and outlined considerations for improving the Show to ensure its successful longevity. Staff worked with the Committee through 14 regular, 2 special, and 5 ad-hoc meetings to reach consensus and approval to address the following:
Unifying the Show by eliminating separate arts and crafts sections; Updating procedures and regulations;
Standardizing the Committee appointment process;
Providing opportunities for other events in the waterfront on Show days; and Standardizing enforcement procedures with the Department’s Code of Conduct Agenda Item No. 5
File Code No. 570.06
Council Agenda Report
Municipal Code Amendments Pertaining to the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show [Ordinance Introduction]
January 24, 2023
Over the course of 21 meetings the following milestones and recommendations were approved by the Committee.
Milestones
Unifying the Show by Eliminating Separate Arts and Crafts Sections The Committee unanimously approved a process for integrating the show to allow all members to compete for open spaces regardless of prior section assignment. Quarterly space assignment meetings that began in January 2022 started the process of slowly integrating the Show through a process of attrition, where vacant spaces held by former Arts section members who left the Show were filled.
Updating Procedures and Regulations
Allowing prints of original artwork was one of the more significant updates to the Show. This change was achieved by mirroring the same rules used for photography that require members to produce prints using their own equipment. Multiple members who create paintings and illustrations using traditional methods are now selling prints in the show.
Community and Special Events in the Waterfront Area on a Limited Number of Sundays The Committee worked with staff to develop an approach for supporting multiple events in the waterfront area on Show days. The Santa Barbara Half Marathon, Children’s Fiesta Parade, and Pacific Pride Festival are three recent events that were successfully coordinated to expand the community’s access to the waterfront.
Advisory Committee Appointment Process
The Committee worked with staff to develop a system that balanced representation between members primarily producing decorative fine arts and members producing functional crafts. The Committee also approved changing terms from 18 to 24 months.
Based on experience from two elections using electronic ballots, the Committee approved continued use of online voting. The Committee election held in July 2022 resulted in an impressive 62% of members participating in the election.
Standardize with the Department’s Code of Conduct
The Committee reviewed standardizing the violation procedure with the Department Code of Conduct several times. The Department recommends that members continue to have the opportunity to appeal penalties of suspensions or expulsions to the Commission, but make the Commission’s decision final, without the opportunity to further appeal to City Council.
Municipal Code 15.08
The proposed amendments to Chapter 15.08 update the content to reflect changes to the Department and the new procedures approved by the Committee.
Council Agenda Report
Municipal Code Amendments Pertaining to the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show [Ordinance Introduction]
January 24, 2023
Summary of Municipal Code 15.08 revisions

Increase Committee member terms from 18 to 24 months, with the Committee chairperson serving one-year terms.
Parks and Recreation Commission Review
Department staff presented an update to the Commission on September 28, 2022, outlining the progress made on Show operations. The Commission unanimously approved forwarding draft changes to Municipal Code Section 15.08 to the Ordinance Committee.
Ordinance Committee Review
The Ordinance Committee reviewed the recommended changes to Municipal Code Section
15.08 on December 13, 2022. The Ordinance Committee voted unanimously to forward staff recommendations to City Council for adoption, but to retain the ability for appeals to the City Council of enforcement actions for violation of Show rules and regulations.

The SBSCTBID is a benefit assessment district proposed to continue a revenue source to help fund destination marketing, sales, and destination improvement programs, and related administration and policy development programs, and related administration and policy development programs for Santa Barbara South Coast lodging businesses. It was renewed by Council for a six-year term on January 1, 2015, and then on December 10, 2019, Council modified the term to end on December 31, 2024, pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highway Code § 36600 et seq.) (“94 Law”). On May 17, 2022, the City Council took action to renew with a new term, beginning July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2032.

To initiate the modification process, Visit Santa Barbara (“VSB”) has requested that City Council modify the current SBSCTBID’s Management District Plan (“MDP”). The proposed modification of the SBSCTBID MDP will modify the definition of “gross short-term rental revenue.” This modification will ensure clarity when collecting the assessment from lodging businesses.

I. OVERVIEW
Developed by Visit Santa Barbara (VSB), a non-profit public benefit corporation whose members are individuals and entities with an interest in promoting convention and visitor businesses in Santa Barbara County, and Santa Barbara South Coast lodging businesses, the Santa Barbara South Coast Tourism Business Improvement District (SBSCTBID) is an assessment district proposed to continue providing specific benefits to payors, by funding programs that specifically benefit assessed businesses.
The SBSCTBID was created in 2011 and renewed in 2014 and 2019; lodging businesses now wish to renew it for an additional ten (10) years.
Location: The SBSCTBID includes the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, and portions of unincorporated southern Santa Barbara County, as shown on the map in Section III.
Only lodging businesses within the SBSCTBID boundary will be subject to the SBSCTBID assessment.
Services: The SBSCTBID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing room night sales. Destination marketing, sales and destination improvement programs and related administration and policy development programs will increase room night sales.
Budget: The total SBSCTBID annual assessment budget for the first twelve months of its ten (10) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $8,239,702. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do, and if the assessment rate is increased pursuant to this plan.
Cost: The initial assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short term room rental revenue. The assessment rate may be subject to increases during the ten (10) year term if initiated by the TBID Committee and approved by assessees who pay more than fifty percent (50%) of the total annual assessment. If the TBID Committee wishes to increase the assessment rate, VSB shall provide a notice and ballot to assessed lodging businesses of the proposed increase. The assessment rate may be increased up to a maximum rate of three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Any increase authorized by the TBID Committee and weighted vote of the payors based on how much they pay in assessment, shall be reflected in the annual report described in Section V. Assessments pursuant to the SBSCTBID shall not include prepaid contracts executed prior to June 30, 2022.
Collection: The cities and County will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SBSCTBID, within their respective jurisdictions. The cities and County will take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed lodging business subject to reimbursement of collection costs by SBSCTBID..
Duration: The SBSCTBID will have a ten (10) year renewal period, beginning July 1, 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter, and end ten (10) years from its start date. Once per year, beginning on the anniversary of SBSCTBID renewal, there is a thirty (30) day period ATTACHMENT 1

in which owners paying fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessment may protest and initiate a Santa Barbara City Council hearing on SBSCTBID termination.
Management: Visit Santa Barbara will continue to serve as the SBSCTBID’s Owners’ Association.
The Owners’ Association is charged with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan and must provide annual reports to the Santa Barbara City Council.

II. BACKGROUND
TBIDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TBID was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over 110 California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model – Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana have adopted TBID laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas and Newark, New Jersey used an existing business improvement district law to form a TBID. And, some cities, like Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee have utilized their home rule powers to create TBIDs without a state law.
California’s TBIDs collectively
raise over $300 million annually
for local destination marketing.
With competitors raising their
budgets, and increasing rivalry
for visitor dollars, it is
important that Santa Barbara
South Coast lodging businesses
continue to invest in stable,
lodging-specific marketing
programs.
TBIDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism districts. TBIDs allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase demand for room night sales. Lodging business owners within the TBID pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase demand for room night sales.
In California, most TBIDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TBIDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district.
There are many benefits to TBIDs:
Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay;
Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; They allow for a wide range of services;
They are the assessment; and
They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion. 1 2 4 6 9 12 19 25 29 32 38 46

III. BOUNDARY
The SBSCTBID encompasses all territory within the boundaries of cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, and portions of unincorporated southern Santa Barbara County. In connection with the SBSCTBID, an assessment is levied against all lodging businesses, including both existing lodging businesses and lodging businesses that open during the existence of the SBSCTBID.
Lodging business means: any structure, or any portion of any structure, which is occupied or intended for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes, and includes and hotel, inn, tourist home or house, short term vacation rental, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof. As used herein, the term “transient” means: any person who exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days. Any such person so occupying space in a lodging business will be deemed a transient until the period of thirty (30) days has expired unless there is an agreement in writing between the lodging business operator and the occupant providing for a longer period of occupancy; provided that the occupant of an apartment unit, constructed under a building permit as such, or in building which have been legally converted into apartments, will not be deemed to be a transient if his or her occupancy is for a period of more than thirty (30) days and with or without such written agreement.
The boundary, as shown in the map below, currently includes 343 lodging businesses. A complete listing of lodging businesses within the SBSCTBID can be found in Appendix 2.

IV. BUDGET AND SERVICES
A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred, and services provided, directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits. The services provided with the SBSCTBID funds are destination marketing, sales and destination improvement programs and related administration and policy development programs available only to assessed businesses. These expenditures generate the specific benefit of increased room night bookings at assessed lodging businesses.
A service plan budget, set forth below, has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual budget will be developed and approved by VSB. The table below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. The total initial assessment budget is $8,239,702.
Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the budget will remain the same. However, the VSB Board of Directors will have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total budget per year. For example if the total budget was $8,239,702, then up to $2,059,925.50 can be moved between service categories after the initial year of the district (0.25 x $8,239,702 = $2,059,925.50). A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SBSCTBID, all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SBSCTBID.
Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the sales budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the sales program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administrative portion of the budget. The Destination

costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by VSB on an as-needed basis.
DESTINATION MARKETING, SALES, AND DESTINATION IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAMS
Develop an annual destination marketing, sales and management programs strategy to generate demand for the assessed businesses targeting leisure, meetings and events. Develop marketing programs to attract overnight visitors. The destination marketing, sales and management programs may include, with limitation, the following activities:
Marketing & Public Relations
Marketing promotes Santa Barbara South Coast lodging businesses through paid media including digital and print. This includes paid brand marketing campaigns, retail promotions that highlight special offers, co-op marketing campaigns between VSB and local lodging businesses, air carriers that service Santa Barbara and/or tour operators that promote Santa Barbara, and direct response marketing that generate requests for visitor magazines and email newsletter subscriptions.
Content marketing amplifies lodging businesses through storytelling on owned media channels including SantaBarbaraCA.com, social media accounts, consumer databases and third-party websites.
This includes the production of our website, visitor magazine, social media content and community management, consumer newsletters and cooperative partnerships.
Public relations generate earned media coverage that excites and inspires travelers to choose the Santa Barbara South Coast over other competing destinations, while elevating lodging business awareness and reinforcing key motivators for overnight travel to the Santa Barbara South Coast.
The marketing and public relations program will build greater awareness of assessed lodging businesses in an effort to drive room night sales. The following list includes examples of the marketing and public relations activities that may be provided:
Hosting journalist familiarization trips, bringing key media influencers in-market to experience the Santa Barbara South Coast first-hand in an effort to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Managing SantaBarbaraCA.com, and Visit Santa Barbara social media channels to showcase the breadth of reasons to visit the destination to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Conducting research to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Media programs providing targeted reach of growth markets to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Maintaining a robust library of fresh photos, videos other digital assets to be used by VSB and assessed businesses to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Local destination marketing may be used for programs which drive room night sales to assessed lodging businesses in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito and/or Summerland.
Programs included in this service may include content marketing via specialized websites and visitor magazines, visitor centers, and support for community events that generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses. These services do not preclude assessed businesses from the benefits conveyed through their inclusion within programs promoting the broader Santa Barbara brand. These activities may be conducted directly by VSB, or through ATTACHMENT 1
SBSCTBID MDP Page 8
March 3November 18, 2022
grants from VSB to other organizations such as the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, or others.
Sales
Group sales strategies convert leads to hotel contracts from clients looking to hold conferences, meetings, retreats and other programs in the Santa Barbara South Coast. Leads are converted from meeting planners in corporate, incentive, social, wedding, regional, state, and national association markets. Sales efforts are direct and indirect through research, sales call prospecting, in-person client appointments, tradeshows, organized client events, local site inspections, and destination familiarization tours. Separately, travel trade sales generate individual and group bookings through selling Santa Barbara South Coast lodging businesses to domestic and international travel agents, wholesaler operators, receptive operators, and tour operators.
The sales program will promote the Santa Barbara South Coast area as a destination and will work to attract overnight groups and individual travelers. The following list includes examples of the sales activities that may be provided:
Maintaining an experienced sales staff to target the meeting and conference market to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Maximizing alliances with professional organizations that target group business, or database services that track group opportunities to develop new leads for assessed businesses.
Incentivizing conferences and meetings to book at Santa Barbara South Coast.
Destination Improvement
In order to maximize the benefit of VSB’s marketing, public relations and sales programs, funds may be used in limited ways to increase the appeal and accessibility of the destination for overnight visitors.
Such services, if budgeted by the TBID Committee and VSB Board of Directors, will focus on items that are critical to the local lodging industry. These services are not intended to supplant government services or provide direct benefit to the general public or to non-assessed businesses. Programs may include, but are not limited to:
Visitors center operations that provide visitors with information designed to improve the visitor experience and encourage overnight visitation and future room sales to assessed businesses.
Incentives to attract and promote new air service to increase inbound visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Developing a cruise itinerary program designed to attract repeat visitation at assessed businesses.
Local workforce development that positions the hospitality industry as an attractive career option for residents and local students. Service may include job fairs, outreach to improve vocational instruction/internships through high schools and colleges, local marketing and public relations campaigns to encourage job seekers to consider professions in the lodging industry and relevant industry employment research.
Services to improve the visitor’s experience.
Hospitality education and training support aimed at improving the visitor experience leading to increased demand for overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.

ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT
The administrative and operations portion of the budget will be utilized for administrative staffing costs, all office costs, board and committee meeting support, policy development, and other general administrative costs such as telecommunications, information technology, insurance, legal and accounting fees.
RESERVE/CONTINGENCY
Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund will be set by the VSB Board of Directors. Policies relating to the contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditures of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the VSB Board. The reserve fund may also be used for the costs of renewing the TBID or debt service.
COLLECTION COSTS
The County of Santa Barbara and the City of Goleta, if they collect District assessments, will each be paid one percent (1%) of the amount collected in their respective jurisdictions to cover the costs of collection and administration. The City of Santa Barbara will be paid three percent (3%) of the amount collected to cover the costs of collection and administration. The City of Santa Barbara shall have the right to audit the SBSCTBID.
B. Annual Assessment Budget
The total ten (10) years) improvement and service plan assessment budget is projected at approximately $8,239,702 annually, or $137,568,573 through 2032 if the maximum assessment rate increases are implemented. This amount may fluctuate as sales increase or decrease at assessed businesses and if assessment rate increases are implemented. If the maximum assessment rate increases are implemented, the annual assessment budget will increases as estimated in the following table. The table below demonstrates the estimated maximum budget with the assumption that the assessment rates will be increased in 2022 as it is a required disclosure, it is not the anticipated course of action. Additionally, a three percent (3%) annual increase in the total budget is shown to account for anticipated room rate inflation.

C. California Constitutional Compliance
The SBSCTBID assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Rather, the SBSCTBID assessment is a business-based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 levies are taxes unless they fit one of seven exceptions.
Two of these exceptions apply to the SBSCTBID, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of conferring the benefits or providing the services.
1. Specific Benefit
Proposition 26 permits that assessment funds be expended on “a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the 2027-28 $ 11,836,591 $1,638,971 $305,680 $546,868 $14,328,109 2028-29 $ 12,191,688 $1,688,140 $314,850 $563,274 $14,757,953 2029-30 $ 12,557,439 $1,738,784 $324,296 $580,173 $15,200,691 2030-31 $ 12,934,162 $1,790,947 $334,025 $597,578 $15,656,712 2031-32 $ 13,322,187 $1,844,676 $344,045 $615,505 $16,126,413 Total $ 113,646,737 $15,736,260 $2,934,925 $5,250,651 $137,568,573 Year

privilege.”1 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are designed and intended not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific assessed lodging businesses within the SBSCTBID. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the SBSCTBID. SBSCTBID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased room night sales directly to the assessed lodging businesses. Assessment funds will not be used to feature non-assessed lodging businesses in SBSCTBID programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed businesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are services to businesses that constitute and provide specific benefits to the assessed businesses.
The assessment imposed by this SBSCTBID is for a specific benefit conferred to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred to the payors is an increase in room night sales. The specific benefit of an increase in room night sales for assessed lodging businesses will be provided only to lodging businesses paying the SBSCTBID assessment, with SBSCTBID programs promoting lodging businesses paying the SBSCTBID assessment. The SBSCTBID programs will be designed to increase room night sales at each assessed lodging business. Because they are necessary to provide the destination marketing, sales and destination improvement programs that specifically benefit the assessed lodging businesses, the administration and policy development and contingency / reserve services also provide the specific benefit of increased room night sales to the assessed lodging businesses.
Although the SBSCTBID, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.” 2 Specific Government Service
Pursuant to Proposition 26, an assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.” 3 SBSCTBID destination marketing, sales and destination improvement programs are designed and intended to increase overnight stays and direct visitors to assessed lodging businesses, sales programs are designed and intended to attract group businesses to assessed lodging businesses, and local destination marketing programs are designed and intended to increase overnight visitation and direct visitors to assessed lodging businesses. The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions services like those to be provided by the SBSCTBID are government services within the meaning of Proposition 264. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”5

3. Reasonable Cost
SBSCTBID services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein.
Funds will be managed by VSB, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City of Santa Barbara pursuant to a contract between VSB and the City of Santa Barbara. Only assessed lodging businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from SBSCTBID-funded activities, be featured in destination marketing and sales campaigns, and benefit from other SBSCTBID-funded services. Non-assessed lodging businesses will not receive these, nor any other, SBSCTBID-funded services and benefits.
The TBID-funded programs are all targeted directly at, and feature only assessed businesses. It is, however, possible that there will be a spill over benefit to non-assessed businesses. If non-assessed businesses receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program generating those room nights shall be paid with non-TBID funds. TBID funds shall only be spent to benefit the assessed businesses and shall not be spent on that portion of any program which directly generates incidental room nights for non-assessed businesses.
D. Assessment
The initial assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short term room rental revenue. The assessment rate may be subject to increases during the ten (10) year term if initiated by the TBID Committee and approved by assessees who pay more than fifty percent (50%) of the total annual assessment. If the TBID Committee wishes to increase the assessment rate, VSB shall provide a notice and ballot to assessed lodging businesses of the proposed increase. The assessment rate may be increased up to a maximum rate of three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Any increase authorized by the TBID Committee and weighted vote of the payors based on how much they pay in assessment, shall be reflected in the annual report described in Section V. Assessments pursuant to the SBSCTBID shall not include prepaid contracts executed prior to June 30, 2022.
The term “gross short-term rental revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged, on the room rate whether or not received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, not including other charges such as destination fees, resort fees, reservation fees, forfeited deposits, cancelation fees, attrition fees, no-show fees, parking fees, internet fees, roll-a-way beds fees, early and/or late checkout feesinternet fess, or any other charges or fees (existing or in the future)or fees (existing or in the future). whether to be received in money, goods, labor or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever.
The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, will be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient will receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the SBSCTBID assessment is identified separately it will be disclosed as the “SBSCTBID Assessment.” As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the SBSCTBID assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and will be disclosed as the “Tourism Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging ATTACHMENT 1
SBSCTBID MDP Page 13
March 3November 18, 2022
business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment will not be considered revenue for any purpose, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes.
Bonds will not be issued.
E. Penalties and Interest
The SBSCTBID will reimburse the cities and County for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If other delinquent obligations owed to the cities and County are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the cities or County, the SBSCTBID will bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment will be responsible for paying:
1. Original Delinquency: Any assessed lodging business that fails to remit any assessment imposed within the time required will pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment.
2. Continued Delinquency: Any assessed lodging business that fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent will pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed.
3. Fraud: If the cities or County determines that the non-payment of any remittance due is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment will be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this subsection E.
4. Interest: In addition to the penalties imposed, any assessed lodging business that fails to remit any assessment imposed will pay interest at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.5%) per month, or fraction thereof, on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.
5. Penalties and Interest Merged with Assessment: Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this subsection E will become part of the assessment herein required to be paid.
F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The SBSCTBID assessment will be implemented beginning July 1, 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter, and end ten (10) years from its start date. The cities and County will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SBSCTBID, within their respective jurisdictions.
The cities and County will forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association pursuant to contracts between VSB and the cities and County. The cities and County may retain penalties and interest collected on delinquent assessments to cover their actual costs associated with collecting the delinquent assessments.

PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 CHAPTER 1. General Provisions
ARTICLE 1. Declarations
36600. Citation of part
This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.” 36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed.
ATTACHMENT 1
SBSCTBID MDP Page 17
March 3November 18, 2022
Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits.
The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits.
(3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits.
Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.
36602. Purpose of part
The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act. This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes.
36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)). 36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions
Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.
36604. Severability
This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b).

36624. Changes to proposed assessments
At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. 36625. Resolution of formation
(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property-based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit.

If the assessment is to be levied on businesses, the city council may also define categories of businesses based upon the degree of benefit that each will derive from the improvements or activities to be provided within the district and may impose a different assessment or rate of assessment on each category of business, or on each category of business within each zone. 36628.5. Assessments on businesses or property owners
The city council may levy assessments on businesses or on property owners, or a combination of the two, pursuant to this part. The city council shall structure the assessments in whatever manner it determines corresponds with the distribution of benefits from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, provided that any propertybased assessment conforms with the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (k) of Section 36622. 36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business. The city council shall, to establish, modify, or disestablish a benefit zone or category of business, follow the procedure to establish, modify, or disestablish a property and business improvement district. 36630.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, assessments levied to pay the principal and interest on any bond issued pursuant to this section shall not be reduced or terminated if doing so would interfere with the timely retirement of the debt.
CHAPTER 4. Governance

The owners’ association’s first report shall be due after the first year of operation of the district. The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or any benefit zones within the district, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of property, including any categories of business, if a classification is used.
(b) The report shall be filed with the clerk and shall refer to the property and business improvement district by name, specify the fiscal year to which the report applies, and, with respect to that fiscal year, shall contain all of the following information:
(1) Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of property or businesses within the district. (2) The improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. (3) An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements, maintenance, and activities for that fiscal year.
(4) The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each real property or business owner, as appropriate, to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her property or business for that fiscal year.
(5) The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
(6) The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

The city council shall not approve a change in the basis and method of levying assessments that would impair an authorized or executed contract to be paid from the revenues derived from the levy of assessments, including any commitment to pay principal and interest on any bonds issued on behalf of the district. 36651. Designation of owners’ association to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities The management district plan may, but is not required to, state that an owners’ association will provide the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the management district plan.

(b) Upon renewal, any remaining revenues derived from the levy of assessments, or any revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, shall be transferred to the renewed district. If the renewed district includes additional parcels or businesses not included in the prior district, the remaining revenues shall be spent to benefit only the parcels or businesses in the prior district. If the renewed district does not include parcels or businesses included in the prior district, the remaining revenues attributable to these parcels shall be refunded to the owners of these parcels or businesses. (c) Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years, or, if the district is authorized to issue bonds, until the maximum maturity of those bonds.

CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment
36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure (a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances:
(1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district. The city council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the district prior to the public hearing required by this section. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement district. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the district, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention. 36671. Refund of remaining revenues upon disestablishment or expiration without renewal of district; Calculation of refund; Use of outstanding revenue collected after disestablishment of district (a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.

F. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Resolution No. 22-059, Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2023, to Appropriate 2023 Local Surface Transportation Program Grant Funds and City Funds for the Fiscal Year 2022B Pavement Maintenance Project and Program Support.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Construction of the Fiscal Year 2022B Pavement Maintenance Project (Project) will rehabilitate high-priority streets throughout the City of Santa Barbara (City) by grinding and overlaying with new asphalt and constructing concrete improvements, such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant sidewalk access ramps.
Staff recommends approval of the construction contract with Lash Construction, Inc. (Lash) and a contract for construction support services, including inspection and material testing, with Flowers & Associates, Inc. (Flowers) to ensure the successful delivery of this Project.
In addition, to support the City’s ongoing Pavement Maintenance Program, staff recommends approval of a contract for limited professional engineering services with Flowers to support the City’s Streets Operations and Infrastructure Management Division’s in-house paving operations, and approval of a Professional Services Contract with Nichols Consulting Engineers, CHTD (NCE) for pavement inspection services.
DISCUSSION:
Project Description
The Project will address high-priority pavement maintenance needs throughout the City.
It consists of grinding off deteriorated asphalt pavement and overlaying with new asphalt, replacing sidewalk, installing ADA-compliant sidewalk access ramps, improving and updating traffic signals, and adding new traffic and pedestrian markings. The Project will eliminate road defects and structural failures and create a smoother road surface, thereby improving roadway safety. Additionally, the Project will construct the final section of the multiuse path on the western City limit of Modoc Road connecting to the County portion of the path. Work is anticipated to begin in February 2023 and be complete in approximately one year. The streets that will be maintained with this Project are listed below and shown in Attachments 1 and 2.

A portion of the grind and overlay work on Garden, Ortega, and Sola Streets is along the route of the recently installed Desal Link pipeline. To efficiently restore the pavement along the new pipeline alignment and provide the best end result while minimizing disruption to residents, the Desal Link Project is contributing its share of pavement restoration costs to this Project.

3. C.A. Rasmussen, Inc.
Valencia, CA $13,490,962.00
4. Toro Enterprises, Inc.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Engineering Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Third Contract Amendment with Stantec Consulting Services Inc for Permitting Support for the City’s Sediment Management Plan [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute the Third Contract Amendment to City Professional Services Agreement No. 22100186 with Stantec Consulting Services Inc, formerly Cardno, Inc., in the amount of $31,415 to provide continued permitting support for the City of Santa Barbara’s Sediment Management Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The purpose of the Sediment Management Plan (SMP) is to maintain safe maritime navigation, minimize hazardous shoaling conditions, protect adjacent development from wave damage and flooding, maintain appropriate sand balance to offset erosion, and maintain sandy beaches and aesthetics at the Santa Barbara Harbor, surrounding beaches, and Waterfront area operated by the City of Santa Barbara (City).
The SMP covers all City beaches and the Santa Barbara Harbor, and allows for many essential maintenance activities. The three primary components are: (a) sediment management to dredge sand from the harbor and create ideal beach conditions; (b) storm drain outlet maintenance to ensure proper functioning of storm drains; and (c) beach grooming to provide clean and safe beaches for recreation. The SMP also allows for building protective berms, placing lifeguard towers, and other activities.
The SMP requires regulatory approvals from the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
Agenda Item No. 8
File Code No. 530.03
Council Agenda Report
Third Contract Amendment with Stantec Consulting Services Inc for Permitting Support for the City’s Sediment Management Plan [Agreement]
January 24, 2023
Current Status
In 2021, under the original contract, Cardno, Inc. (Cardno), now Stantec Consulting Services Inc (Stantec), updated the Biological Resources Assessment for the SMP.
In 2021, a First Contract Amendment was approved to update the Biological Resources Assessment based on CCC comments, prepare a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), and present the SAP to the Southern California Dredge Materials Management Team (SC-DMMT).
In 2022, a Second Contract Amendment was approved to support the City in responding to SC-DMMT comments and preparing a revised SAP. The City’s need for harbor dredging became clearer after a bathymetric survey was completed by others.
The purpose of this recommended Third Contract Amendment is to facilitate ongoing support of the City’s SMP with the three permitting agencies (CCC, ACOE, and RWQCB).
The Amendment will allow for Stantec’s services to extend through 2023 and to include permitting support and permit acquisition for SMP implementation.
Given their experience with the SMP and permitting process, Stantec is uniquely positioned to provide the critical support necessary to meet permitting requirements for key maintenance activities throughout the Waterfront.
A copy of the Third Contract Amendment is available for public review from the Public Works Department; please contact [email protected] to request a copy.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The following summarizes the expenditures recommended in this report:
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FUNDING SUMMARY
Current Contract Amount $34,892
Proposed Amendment $31,415
Total $66,307
With the approval of the Third Contract Amendment, the total professional services contract expenditure will increase to $66,307.
Council Agenda Report
Third Contract Amendment with Stantec Consulting Services Inc for Permitting Support for the City’s Sediment Management Plan [Agreement]
January 24, 2023
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Sediment Management Plan Project in the Waterfront Operating Fund in Fiscal Year 2023 to cover the cost of the proposed contract amendment with Stantec.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for the SMP in 1999, and a MND Addenda was prepared in 2005.
Amending current contracts does not require California Environmental Quality Act review.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Community Vitality Initiatives Division, Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Agreement with City Net ($450,000) to Provide Street Outreach, Case Management, and Housing Navigation Services [Agreement] RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Community Development Director to execute a one year agreement in the amount of $450,000 with Kingdom Causes, Inc. (City Net), with an option by the City to extend an additional year, to provide homeless outreach, case management, and housing navigation services, as well as evening and weekend street outreach, with funding coming from Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds awarded by the State of California Housing and Community Development Department.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2019, the City has contracted with City Net utilizing Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds to provide street outreach and case-management services to persons experiencing homelessness within the City of Santa Barbara. City Net’s current PLHA contract is nearing expiration, and a new contract is needed to continue services.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued seeking a service provider to deliver street outreach, case management, and housing navigation services. Additionally, the RFP included the provision of street outreach services during evening and weekend hours in all proposals, as this timeframe was identified as a gap in services.
City Net submitted a proposal that meets all the criteria identified in the RFP. Staff is recommending that Council approve an agreement to be effective for one calendar year with the option to renew for a second year.

Agreement with City Net ($450,000) to Provide Street Outreach, Case Management, and Housing Navigation Services [Agreement]
January 24, 2023
DISCUSSION:
Background
Santa Barbara has a network of homeless service providers operating within the City, and street outreach and case management services are available from organizations that operate citywide primarily Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Since 2019, the City has contracted with City Net utilizing Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds to provide street outreach and case-management services to persons experiencing homelessness within the City of Santa Barbara.
Prior to establishing a partnership with City Net, street outreach was sporadic and carried out by volunteers. Having dedicated, professional outreach and case management workers operating on a citywide basis has been instrumental in increasing the number of street exits. However, the need for street outreach services during evening and weekend hours has been identified as a gap in services. This new contract will extend City Net’s current work with the City and will include expanded hours to address the needs of the community.
Scope of Services
On December 5, 2022, staff issued an RFP requesting outreach, case management, and housing navigation services to individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Barbara, including those living outdoors, in vehicles, or other places not meant for human habitation. The requested services were broken down into two components: Citywide Daytime Street Outreach/Case Management and Housing Navigation, and Evening and Weekend Street Outreach along Downtown and Waterfront areas. The RFP was developed in consultation with leaders from the Downtown Organization and the Santa Barbara Hotel Group, as well as key City staff who work on homelessness issues.
Citywide Daytime Street Outreach and Case Management and Housing Navigation Street outreach entails locating, identifying, and building relationships with unsheltered people to provide immediate support, intervention, de-escalation, and connections with homeless assistance programs and/or mainstream medical and mental/behavioral health and social services and housing programs.
The daytime services component of the RFP continues current services:
40 hours per week of outreach, case management, and housing navigation services;
Responding to referrals from City staff and the public (utilizing the Salesforce reporting platform on the City Website) for individuals in need of assistance; Assistance with encampments and other areas of concern in the city; and Council Agenda Report

January 24, 2023
Collaboration with other organizations such as the Santa Maria/Santa Barbara Continuum of Care and the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation, which operates the Neighborhood Navigation Centers.
Case management provides more intensive services to a set caseload of individuals. The provider works with each client to arrange, coordinate, and monitor the delivery of individualized services such as behavioral/mental/physical health care, employment assistance, state and federal benefits, etc.
Housing navigation includes the development of an individualized housing-stabilization plan, such as making clients document ready for housing and providing housing search and placement services. Housing placement includes setting appointments, assisting with housing application paperwork, moving assistance, mediating with landlords on behalf of the client, etc.
Evening and Weekend Street Outreach Along Downtown and Waterfront Areas The RFP also requested street outreach services along the downtown corridor and waterfront area during weekends and evenings. A census of homeless individuals conducted in 2020 found that the areas with the highest number of homeless persons are along the downtown corridor on State Street, and the waterfront area along Cabrillo Boulevard. Due to the shortage of available services during non-business hours, it is necessary to provide a street outreach presence during evenings and weekends, when the various service providers are not in operation.
Because of limited funding, the service area is targeted to specific parts of the downtown and waterfront areas. The downtown area includes State Street, from Micheltorena Street to Cabrillo Boulevard, and one block East to Anacapa Street and one block west to Chapala Street. The Waterfront area is along Cabrillo Boulevard from Castillo Street/Pershing Park to Chase Palm Park. The service hours requested were, at minimum, Thursday through Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. — including scheduled breaks.
Also requested was a “Rapid Response” service that provides a mechanism for community members within the service area to contact homeless outreach staff in order to assist unsheltered individuals during the service hours. The goal is to have staff available to address (not necessarily resolve) issues in a timely manner. The community within the service area (including merchants, City staff, and law enforcement) will have a contact number for the outreach team to deploy to locations where there are concerns related to homelessness during the service hours and service area.

January 24, 2023
Proposals Received
City Net submitted a proposal by the December 15, 2022, RFP deadline. City Net proposes to provide the street outreach, case management and housing navigation services described earlier in this report. As stated earlier, City Net has provided services to the City since 2019 and is often the first line of response to the unhoused population.
A panel of three City staff reviewed City Net’s proposal and gave it an average score of 93 out of a possible 100.
City Net has established relationships with Cottage Hospital, the Santa Barbara Police Department, State Street Ambassadors, the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation (SB ACT), landlords, and various service providers to coordinate outreach and housing services. Most recently, City Net has worked with City staff and PATH to establish daily communication of the number of available beds reserved at PATH specifically for the City of Santa Barbara.
City Net participates in SB ACT’s Regional Action Plans (RAPs) and Neighborhood Navigation Centers (NNCs). In addition to responding to City referrals through Salesforce, City Net also does targeted outreach in the designated RAP regions: Milpas Street on Monday afternoons, State Street Friday afternoons, and on the Waterfront, including Spanish-focused outreach around Dwight Murphy field and the labor line on Yanonali Street on Wednesday afternoons. Salesforce Encampment response occurs daily, plus Tuesdays to revisit any camps that require more attention.
City Net proposes operating from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays for daytime services with two Full Time Equivilents (FTEs). The proposed night and weekend services would run from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays with two FTEs. The proposal also includes hours for a regional director, program supervisor, and a data analyst. The proposed service schedule was received positively during the most recent RAP meeting.
Staff recommends contracting with City Net for the services requested by the RFP. City Net has been an invaluable partner in the City’s efforts to address homelessness and is very responsive to the City’s needs. Since starting at the City in 2019, City Net has expanded its service area countywide and has successfully obtained other funds to provide an array of services that can help leverage the limited available City funding.
Throughout the South County, City Net has enrolled 759 clients into case management services, facilitated 315 street exits, housed 253 people, and provided more than 22,209 motel bed nights since 2019.

Clients enrolled in case management 100
Street exits 57
Permanently housed 22
*Accomplishments provided are limited only to the City’s PLHA funds totaling $660,000 in calendar years 2021 and 2022.
Additionally, outside of PLHA funding, City Net recorded a total of 99 street exits from the RAP regions in 2021, and 66 in 2022.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The PLHA program was enacted as part of the Building Homes and Jobs Act in 2018.
The purpose of the program is to provide an ongoing source of funding to local governments for homelessness-related projects and programs that address unmet housing needs. The City of Santa Barbara has been an entitlement local government designated by the State to receive an annual allocation of PLHA funds since Fiscal Year 2020.The use of PLHA funds to assist persons who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless was identified in the City’s five-year plan for use of PLHA funds, which was adopted by Council on July 21, 2020, and was subsequently approved by the State of California Housing and Community Development Department.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Fund budget to support the agreement for $450,000. The agreement is for a one-year period from the date of execution. The City will have the option to renew the agreement for an additional year based on agency performance.
Additionally, City staff is working to secure private funding to support night and weekend outreach services during the second year of the agreement, if renewed.
A copy of the agreement is available from the Community Development Department for public review; please contact Liz Stotts, Homelessness Programs Analyst, at [email protected], to request a copy.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Golf Division, Parks and Recreation Department
SUBJECT: Best Interest Waiver for Purchase of Lawn Mowers for Municipal Golf Course
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve a Best Interest Waiver under Santa Barbara Municipal Code §
4.52.070, subdivision L authorizing the General Services Manager to issue a Purchase Order in the amount of $165,317 for the purchase of a Toro Greenmaster 3420 TriFlex Hybrid Diesel Greens Mower and a Reelmaster 5010 Hybrid Diesel Fairway Mower from TurfStar Western.
DISCUSSION:
Santa Barbara Golf Club (SBGC) is an 18-Hole facility offering a challenging course of 6,022 yards. Greens and fairways are the most manicured areas of a golf course. Given the amount of traffic and requirement to maintain a high-quality playing surface, these areas need extra care and maintenance. SBGC has a well earned reputation for the quality of the course which is maintained with a variety of power turf equipment such as greens, fairway, and rough mowers, aerifiers and other turf maintenance vehicles. Greens and Fairway mowers are utilized daily at the golf course and the purchase of key pieces of new equipment are necessary to maintain course maintenance standards. The TriFlex Hybrid Diesel Greens Mower and Reelmaster Fairway Mower are a necessary purchase as the existing greens and fairway mowers currently in use at SBGC have reached the end of their useful life.
BEST INTEREST WAIVER:
Under Municipal Code § 4.52.070, subdivision L the City Council may authorize the purchase of equipment, supplies and general services without competitive bidding when the council determines it to be to be in the best interst of the City. The Parks and Recreation Department recommends that Council authorize a Best Interest Waiver of formal bidding for the purchase of two Toro mowers through TurfStar Western.
Agenda Item No. 12
File Code No. 570.02
Council Agenda Report
Best Interest Waiver for Purchase of Lawn Mowers for Municipal Golf Course January 24, 2023
Purchasing this brand from this vendor is in the best interest of the City for the following reasons:
The vendor and manufacturer have a state contract which would allow for purchasing the equipment without the formal solicitation process; however, pricing extended to the SBGC operating vender (CourseCo) is lower than state contractual pricing due to the high volume of business CourseCo does with the recommended vendor and manufacturer, making it more cost effective to supersede the state contract.
Opening the procurement to competition will require additional time to develop the exact specifications to support bidding. Pricing may increase in that time frame due to inflation.
Toro equipment matches the current golf fleet of equipment which allows for greater efficiencies and expertise in repairing and maintaining the equipment. Toro mowers have electric reels on the desired equipment. Electric reels are preferred as they are quieter and eliminate the need for hydraulics.
COST BREAKDOWN:
ITEM DETAIL PRICE
Greenmaster 3420 TriFlex Hybrid-Diesel 23.5 HP Mower $72,368 ReelMaster 5010 Hybrid AR $92,623
Delivery $326
TOTAL $165,317
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
There are sufficient funds appropriated to cover these costs in Fiscal Year 2023.The cost of the equipment to the City of Santa Barbara will be $148,052. CourseCo will pay the remaining $17,265 towards the purchase of the equipment due to their contractual obligation to make capital improvements at SBGC.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Community Vitality Initiatives Division, Community Development Department
SUBJECT: State Street “Create State” Master Plan Update RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive a progress report for the State Street “Create State” Master Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Major work efforts over the last six months associated with Create State (the State Street Master Plan) include analyzing existing economic, transportation, utility, and land use conditions downtown; confirming the community’s vision for the project area; developing a project website that more than 5,200 people have visited; releasing a community survey that over 5,500 people have viewed and 4,000 people have taken; and engaging more than 1,500 people during in-person community outreach events in the project area and throughout Santa Barbara.
Create State is a long-term vision and implementation plan for downtown Santa Barbara — one that prioritizes pedestrians and the public realm and benefits residents, visitors, and the local economy through the creation of public space designed for people rather than vehicles.
The project area includes Anacapa to Chapala Streets and State Street from Sola Street to the Highway 101 underpass. The final product for the Create State project will include a preferred conceptual design concept and implementation plan that the City will use to construct the downtown capital improvement project. Create State remains on schedule for completion between December 2023 and February 2024.
This report highlights the work efforts undertaken over the last six months, including existing conditions analysis, the various opportunities for public engagement, and the next steps to determine a design concept and implementation plan for State Street and the downtown area.
