A. PARKING FEES AND HOURS OF OPERATION IN THE WATERFRONT AREA PARKING LOTS
1. Fees for parking in the La Playa East and La Playa West Lots shall be $3.00 per hour with a maximum charge of $18.00 per vehicle during one day’s hours of operation. Dates and Hours of operation are subject to the conditions of the Joint Powers Agreement between the City and Santa Barbara City College.
2. Fees for parking at the Cabrillo East, Cabrillo West, Harbor West, Garden Street, Leadbetter, and Palm Park Parking Lots shall be $3.00 per hour with a maximum charge of $18.00 per vehicle during one day’s hours of operation. A Self-Pay Parking Management System shall operate year-round. Hours of operation for all Waterfront Area Parking Lots including Stearns Wharf from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays.
3 The fee for parking at the Harbor Parking Lot shall be $3.00 per hour with a maximum charge of $18.00 per vehicle per 24 hours of parking. Hours of operation are 24 hours per day, year-round.
4. The City Administrator or his/her designee may make minor adjustments to fee collection, hours of enforcement, and operation for efficient administration and may change enforcement and collection when inclement weather, emergencies, or special events so dictate.
5. Annual parking permits exempting permit holders from hourly parking fees at all Waterfront Parking Lots, except Stearns Wharf, shall be available to the general public at a rate of $135.00 per calendar year. Annual parking permits shall only be issued for vehicles not exceeding the size limitations set forth in Chapter 17.36 of the Municipal Code. The City Administrator or his/her designee may grant written waivers to the vehicle size limitation provided in Chapter 17.36 of the Municipal Code for parking in the Harbor Parking Lot, based on ocean-related or ocean-dependent priority need. Vehicle owners granted a waiver must purchase one ocean dependent parking permit equal in cost to one general parking permit or one slip permittee annual parking permit plus a $50.00 Oversized Vehicle fee.
6. Parking permits exempting Harbor slip permittees from parking fees shall be available at $135.00 per calendar year with a limit of one parking permit per slip permit. All slip permittee parking permits issued under this section shall require proof of California vehicle registration in slip permittee’s name prior to issuance.

10. The charge for a boat trailer exiting a parking lot without a timedated parking ticket shall be $24.00 (four times the maximum daily boat trailer charge).
11. Fees and charges in all Waterfront Parking Lots shall be calculated based on the number of regular sized parking stalls used or any fraction thereof.
12. An entry fee not to exceed $18.00 may be charged under special circumstances or for special events where it is anticipated that charging on entry will be more efficient than collecting the fee on exit. The Waterfront Director is authorized to make the determination.
13. Fees for an oversized vehicle parking in Leadbetter, Harbor West, Garden Street, or the Chase Palm Park lot shall be double the normal parking fee charged for regular sized vehicles in those lots.
B. MAXIMUM 72-HOUR PARKING LIMIT FOR VEHICLES IN THE HARBOR PARKING LOT

2.

3. In the event a vehicle is parked, stopped, or left standing in the Harbor Parking Lot in excess of a consecutive period of 72 hours without a valid slip permittee parking permit, and has not registered with the Waterfront Parking Office in advance, the vehicle may be cited and any member of the Police Department authorized by the Chief of Police may remove the vehicle from the Harbor Parking Lot in the manner and subject to the requirements of the Vehicle Code.

AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Environmental Services Division, Sustainability & Resilience Department
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Explore Ecology for Youth Education on Waste Reduction [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Authorize the Sustainability & Resilience Director to execute a professional services agreement with Explore Ecology in the amount of $45,000 for the provision of waste reduction and composting education services in Fiscal Year 2024; and B.

can be diverted from landfill disposal. Classroom instruction on waste reduction and composting is a critical element in achieving waste stream diversion, along with working with janitorial staff and providing appropriate solid waste services. In addition to improving the school’s recycling performance, diversion in the single family and multiunit sectors often increases as children bring knowledge home and teach their parents how to recycle, compost, and reduce waste.
The Division has worked closely with Explore Ecology to enhance the quality and interactivity of the school lessons for over a decade. The lessons are tailored to the City’s waste diversion messages, provide appropriate recognition of City sponsorship, and utilize best practices including multi-media education and remote learning capabilities.
This year, Division staff are expanding the waste reduction education program to include a new educational field trip to the Santa Barbara County ReSource Center at Tajiguas Landfill where up to 20 classes of 5th and 6th grade students will learn about natural resources, recycling, organics processing, and landfill management.
Scope of Work
Under the proposed contract, Explore Ecology will provide waste reduction and composting education programs for K-6th grade schoolchildren in the City of Santa Barbara. These programs include: 1) a two-part waste reduction and composting series for kindergarten through sixth grade; 2) field trips to the Santa Barbara County ReSource Center for fifth and sixth grade; and 3) a waste reduction field trip to Explore Ecology’s Art From Scrap facility for kindergarten through fourth grade. The Explore Ecology programs are correlated to state standards and updated regularly to address teachers’ suggestions as well as new recycling, waste reduction, and composting standards.
Additionally, the proposed contract includes a partnership with the County of Santa Barbara to utilize their ReSource Center Educational Facility.
During Fiscal Year 2024, it is anticipated that Explore Ecology will conduct over 100 presentations, reaching at least 2,500 schoolchildren within the City of Santa Barbara.
Explore Ecology will also provide busing, staffing, and support to the Santa Barbara County ReSource Center Field Trips.
Regional Integration
In addition to providing waste reduction and composting education programs within the City, Explore Ecology is under contract with the County of Santa Barbara to provide similar programs to schoolchildren in other areas of the County. The scope of work outlined in this contract is consistent with waste reduction education provided countywide.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Implementing an educational curriculum focused on reducing waste and promoting composting in Santa Barbara helps foster a culture of responsible resource consumption and environmental stewardship from an early age. This will lead to a decrease in overall waste generation, conserving valuable natural resources, and reducing landfill space.
Additionally, composting enriches the soil, promoting healthier plant growth and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. By empowering children with the knowledge and tools to make sustainable choices, we can create a more resilient and environmentally conscious community, protecting Santa Barbara's natural environment for generations to come.

SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Hiltachk Marketing Group [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Airport Director to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Hiltachk Marketing Group for a three-year term in an amount not to exceed $630,000.
DISCUSSION:
Hiltachk Marketing Group, based in Sacramento, was selected as part of a competitive ‘Request for Proposals’ process in 2017. The firm’s services augment the modest inhouse staffing resources available for air service marketing in Santa Barbara, and to support the Airport’s partnerships with Visit Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce. Hiltachk also assists the Airport with the development of its annual marketing and advertising strategic plans. The overall objective is to increase the number of residents in the greater Santa Barbara region who choose Santa Barbara Airport as their point of departure as a means of retaining and increasing robust air service, which in turn fosters a competitive environment and economical airfares as compared with other alternative airports.
On July 25, 2017, Council approved a two-year with one two-year option professional services contract with Hiltachk Marketing Group to provide marketing and public outreach support for the Airport’s air service development efforts for an amount not to exceed $120,000 for the initial two-year term. On September 24, 2019, Council amended the agreement to increase the not to exceed amount to $270,000. On June 29, 2021, Council approved an amendment to extend the agreement for an additional year and increase funding in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for a total contract amount of $370,000, and an expiration date of June 30, 2022. On March 30, 2022, Council approved an amendment to extend the agreement for an additional fiscal year not to exceed $150,000.
This extension expires on June 30, 2023.
Agenda Item No. 17
File Code No. 560.01
Council Agenda Report
Professional Services Contract with Hiltachk Marketing Group [Agreement] June 27, 2023
Hiltachk Marketing Group has played an integral role since 2016 in the effort to build and grow awareness and preference for Santa Barbara Airport. Additionally, Hiltachk Marketing Group played an integral role in helping the airport to secure the service of Southwest Airlines. Hiltachk has consistently developed media strategies and plans that provide reportable return on investment to the airport. In fact, the FY22 digital media efforts generated 10,030 outbound tickets and more than $4.5 million in revenue to our airline partners (excluding Southwest Airlines, as they do not share their data). This resulted in a $32.64:1 return on advertising spending. It is in the Airport’s best interest to maintain the continuity of Hiltachk’s services over the course of this commitment through 2026.
As such, staff recommends that Council authorize the Airport Director to enter into a Professional Services Agreement effective July 1, 2023 for three years, not to exceed $210,000 per fiscal year.
A copy of the agreement may be requested from the Airport Department for public review; please contact [email protected] to request a copy.

RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Fire Chief to execute a Professional Services Agreement with On Duty Health for a three-year term with a not-to-exceed amount of $224,820 to provide health and wellness assessments to the Fire Department.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Santa Barbara City Fire Department (SBFD) requests to enter a three-year agreement, not to exceed $224,820, with On Duty Health to provide health and wellness assessments.
As part of the MOU process, the City has negotiated to provide medical and wellness evaluations for members of the Firefighters Association and Fire Managers.

The exams are the gold standard for firefighter wellness and cover a broad scope of services and include screening for certain types of cancers, blood health and evaluations of major organs and body systems. The scope of tests is specifically designed to screen for high-risk diseases associated with the occupational hazards in fire protection and emergency services.
Selection Process
On Duty Health provided medical and wellness evaluations for SBFD in 2022 on a oneyear agreement. The vendor was selected based on the cost-savings provided on the Agenda Item No. 19
File Code No. 520.03
Council Agenda Report
Agreement with On Duty Health for Fire Department Medical and Fitness Exams Council [Agreement]
June 27, 2023
Hazardous Materials Physical Exam. The exam cost by the provider Sansum Clinic/Occupational Health was $1,384 and On Duty Health provided the exam for $827.
Additional cost savings were obtained as On Duty Health provides assessments on City property over the course of several days, allowing staff to obtain the examinations while on shift, eliminating the need to pay overtime to attendees, a cost savings valued at thousands of dollars.
After a competitive bid process On Duty Health was selected by the City of Oxnard to provide medical and wellness exams. The Request for Proposal (FD23-43) was posted to Public Purchase September 19, 2022, and closed October 10, 2022. Four proposals for service were received, reviewed, and scored by a three-person panel. Montecito, Carpinteria, and Lompoc Fire Departments have also selected On Duty Health to provide examinations.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The estimated total cost for health and wellness assessments is $74,940 annually should all staff represented by the Firefighters Association and Fire Managers labor groups volunteer to participate. The not to exceed amount of the three-year term is $224,820. The assessments are a negotiated item by the labor unions and will be absorbed in the Fire Department’s annual expenditure budget.

SUBJECT: Amendments to Legal Services Agreements for Special Workplace Investigation Services [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Authorize the City Administrator to execute an amended investigation services agreement with Van Dermyden Makus to increase the not to exceed amount from $35,000 to a new amount not to exceed $250,000 for special counsel services related to existing personnel matters;
B. Authorize the City Administrator to execute an amended investigation services agreement with Aisha Shelton Adam of the Adam Law Investigations firm to increase the not to exceed amount from $35,000 to a new amount not to exceed $60,000 for special counsel services related to existing personnel matters; and C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute an amended investigation services agreement with Garon Wyatt Investigative Services to increase the not to exceed amount from $35,000 to a new amount not to exceed $100,000 for special counsel services related to existing personnel matters.
DISCUSSION:
There is a need to contract with an outside investigator on personnel matters. The dominant purpose of the workplace investigation is for the Investigator to gather facts and issue a report to the assigned lawyer from the City Attorney’s Office. The staff lawyer will rely upon the facts and report to provide legal advice to the City. Therefore, this investigation and accompanying work product falls under the attorney-client privilege that belongs to the City.
The staff from City Attorney and Human Resources selected three separate firms to address the current needs. Staff selected each firm based on its unique skills and expertise to address the assigned personnel matter.
Risk Management provides funding and financial oversight for contracts related to claims and litigation. The tasks assigned to the investigators exceed the initially established Agenda Item No. 20
File Code No. 350.01
Council Agenda Report
Amendments to Legal Services Agreements for Special Counsel Services [Agreement] June 27, 2023
$35,000 threshold. Increasing the value of each agreement allows the assigned firm to complete the investigation and submit its findings to the City Attorney’s Office.
BUDGETARY IMPACTS:
The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) uses the existing expenditure appropriations in Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 established in the adopted budget to pay for legal support and related investigation costs for these types of cases. Risk Management continues to monitor expenditure appropriations and actual expenses related to all the open cases.
The additional costs associated with these investigations combined with expenses on other open cases may lead Risk Management to propose additional expenditure appropriation using SIF available reserves as part of the quarterly budget review process as necessary.

Community Benefit Projects, Small Additions, and Vacant Property. The initial allocations by City Council were: 600,000 square feet for Community Benefit Projects; 400,000 square feet for Small Additions; and 350,000 square feet for Vacant Property.
New nonresidential projects must be allocated floor area from one or more of the three categories and must also be consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 30.170.030. The project site, located in the Upper State Development Area, is not eligible for Small Addition allocations but is eligible to request allocations from the Community Benefit category.
Community Benefit Projects include three subcategories: Community Priority Projects, Economic Development Projects, and New Vehicle Sales Projects. The applicant requests designation of the proposed project and additional floor area as a Community Priority Project.
Community Benefit Project Designation
As stated above, the City Council had already designated the project as a Community Benefit project with an allocation of 2,500 square feet. It qualified under the subcategory “Community Priority Project,” which is described as having a broad public benefit, not principally operated for private profit, and necessary to meet a present or projected need directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare (e.g., museums, childcare facilities, health clinics).
The proposed use by American Indian Health and Services is the same as when it was designated in 2022; therefore, staff recommends that City Council designate this project as a Community Benefit Project and allocate the project an additional 5,838 square feet (for a total of 8,338 square feet) from the Community Benefit category. The request includes a 500-square-foot buffer to accommodate any changes that may occur with the proposed design. With the 1,000-square-foot Minor Addition and 8,338-square-foot Community Benefit allocations, the project would be able to request Development Plan approval from the Planning Commission.
The 5,838 square feet of requested Community Benefit Project floor area for 3237 State Street represents 0.9 percent of the original 600,000 square feet allocated to Community Benefit Projects in the Nonresidential Growth Management Program until 2033. To date, Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 3237 State Street as a Community Benefit Project
June 27, 2023
City Council has allocated a total of 397,680 square feet from the Community Benefit Category to 12 projects, as identified in the table below. Additionally, 106,668 square feet of expired Small Addition floor area has been reallocated to the Community Benefit category by the Planning Commission since 2013 when the allocations were initially established. To date (approximately halfway through the 20-year allocation period), a total of 504,348 square feet, or 84 percent, of the floor area remains available for Community Benefit Projects through 2033.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The designation of a project as a Community Benefit Project and reservation of floor area enables the City to accept the development application for processing but does not commit City Council or the Planning Commission to a definite course of action (CEQA Council Agenda Report

Guidelines §15352(a) Approval). Therefore, the Community Benefit designation and allocation of floor area are not subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. If the requested Community Benefit floor area is allocated for the project, the application will continue through the City’s standard review process.
Environmental review would be completed as part of the development application review.
CONCLUSION:
The American Indian Health and Services community health clinic qualifies as a Community Benefit Project and can be allocated an additional 5,838 net square feet of new nonresidential floor area (for a total of 8,338 square feet) from the Community Benefit category of the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by SBMC Section 30.170.030, because it is in the Upper State Development Area, which allows allocations from the Community Benefit category by the City Council.

Mayor Rowse and City Council
City of Santa Barbara City Hall
735 Anacapa Street
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Dear Mayor Rowse and City Council:
On behalf of the Applicant, American Indian Health & Services (AIHS), we are pleased to submit the following letter formally requesting an additional Nonresidential Growth Management Program (GMP) allocation of 5,838 square feet (sf) associated with the proposed development project at the former United States Army Reserve property located at 3237 State Street (Property). The proposed community health clinic for AIHS includes renovation of the existing main structure and assembly hall, addition of a dental wing with second story administrative offices, and other site and public right of way improvements (Project).
Existing structures on the Property include a 14,494 net square foot (nsf) main building and a 2,436 nsf garage building. Both of the structures have been identified as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historic Resources, and potentially for designation as a City Structure of Merit. Through a Memorandum of Agreement which was negotiated with the State Historic Preservation Officer and the City, any future renovations of the historic structures will be done pursuant to oversight of the Historic Landmarks Commission.
Specifically, all added square footage and exterior renovations will be reviewed and approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission.
Project Information
The Project requires a General Plan land use designation change to Office/Low Density Residential and consideration of a Specific Plan to precisely regulate allowed uses of the Property.
Per the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program (GMP), SBMC §30.170, the Project also requires a Development Plan for the proposed new non-residential development. On February 8, 2022, the Project was initiated by the City Council, and the City Council approved a non-residential GMP allocation of 2,500 square feet for the Project from the Community Benefit Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP

category. The project also qualifies for a 1,000 square foot allocation from the Minor category.
GMP Allocation Request
Since initiation, the Project has been revised to include an expanded dental wing with second story administrative offices. The revised Project includes demolition of 901 sf of the main building and a 9,739 sf addition consisting of 6,798 sf on the first floor for a new dental wing and 2,941 sf on the second floor for office use. With the existing garage to remain, total proposed net square footage for the site is 25,678 nsf.
Per the GMP ordinance, the demolition square footage may be credited toward the new floor area. With the 901 sf reduction to floor area factored into the new addition square footage of 9,739 sf, the resulting proposed new square footage is 8,838 sf for the redesigned Project. With the above City Council GMP allocation from the Community Benefits category (2,500 sf) and the 1,000 square foot allocation from the Minor category also factored in, the resulting new floor area for the Project is 5,338 sf. The Applicant is also proposing to build in a 5% buffer to accommodate any minor changes that may occur during project review with Historic Landmarks, Planning Commission and City Council. A 5% buffer equates to approximately 500 sf. As such, the total requested additional GMP allocation to accommodate the project design changes plus 5% buffer is 5,838 sf. Thereby, the Applicant is seeking approval of an additional 5,838 sf GMP allocation for the redesigned Project. Please see attached Requested GMP Allocation table.
Justification for Allocation
As confirmed by the City Council on February 8, 2022, the Project meets the requirements as a Community Priority Project, which is defined as a project that has a broad public benefit and is necessary to meet a present or projected need directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare as defined in SBMC §30.170.020.
AIHS is an Urban Indian Health Program that provides medical, dental, pediatric, and behavioral health services to both the American Indian/Alaska Native and non-Native medically underserved populations in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Like Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics’ Westside Clinic, which the City Council designated a Community Priority Project in March 2020, AIHS serves a critical and growing need for health care services using a patient-centered medical home model. A modern health care facility at a central location in the City has broad public benefit to our entire community.
The clinic has experienced expansive growth over the past 10 years. And now with the COVID19 pandemic, AIHS is providing critical healthcare services to the community under ever increasing regulatory pressures. For almost 30 years, AIHS has been serving healthcare needs in our community in a patchwork of offices located at 4141 State Street (in the El Mercado Plaza) 25734127.4
under short-term leases, some of which have or are about to expire. Redeveloping this centrally located property provides better access for its clients and room to streamline its services to better serve community needs.
To best serve this need, the design team underwent careful planning, design and coordination with AIHS Directors and AIHS Staff to develop a plan that addresses all of the clinic’s requirements, including a redesign and expansion of the dental wing resulting in the new twostory addition. The proposed design adequately addresses the programmatic needs of the clinic to help ensure that AIHS can provide critical services to the citizens of Santa Barbara County for years to come.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact me at the phone number listed above.
Sincerely,
Beth Collins

AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Designation of Proposed Development at 531 East Ortega Street (Providence School) as a Community Benefit Project
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council designate the proposed project at 531 E Ortega Street as a Community Benefit Project pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Chapter 30.170 and allocate 6,500 square feet (net) of nonresidential floor area to the project from the Nonresidential Growth Management Program’s Community Priority Project Category.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Project
The project consists of a new school for Providence School at 531 East Ortega Street, located at the corner of Ortega Street and Salsipuedes Street. The project involves improvements to the site for the school's use, including additions and alterations to the existing single-story main building, partial demolition of the existing gymnasium with the remainder converted to a theater, construction of a new gymnasium, and construction of a building comprising a two-story classroom and office/administrative space. The project includes improvements to the existing parking lot to accommodate a total of 40 vehicle spaces, grading, and landscape and drainage improvements. Overall, the project includes 6,500 square feet under the requested Community Benefit designation, and 2,000 square feet from the Small Addition category. The application currently under review requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for the operation of a school in the R-M (Residential Multi-Unit) zone.
Nonresidential Growth Management Ordinance
Adopted in 2013, the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program limits certain new nonresidential growth to a total of 1.35 million net new square feet until December 31, 2033. This floor area limitation is divided among three development categories:

Community Benefit Projects, Small Additions, and Vacant Property. The initial allocations by City Council were: 600,000 square feet for Community Benefit Projects; 400,000 square feet for Small Additions; and 350,000 square feet for Vacant Property.
New nonresidential projects must be allocated floor area from one or more of the three categories and must also be consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 30.170.030. The project site is in the Downtown Development Area.
Community Benefit Projects include three subcategories: Community Priority Projects, Economic Development Projects, and New Vehicle Sales Projects. The applicant requests designation of the proposed project as a Community Priority Project, which is defined in SBMC Section 30.170.020 as a project that has a broad public benefit, is not principally operated for private profit, and is necessary to meet a present or projected need directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare (e.g., museums, childcare facilities, health clinics).
Community Benefit Project Designation
The 6,500 square feet of requested Community Benefit Project floor area for Providence School at 531 E Ortega Street represents 1.08 percent of the original 600,000 square feet allocated to Community Benefit Projects in the Nonresidential Growth Management Program until 2033. To date, City Council has allocated a total of 202,320 square feet from the Community Benefit Category to 12 projects, as identified in the table below.
Additionally, 106,668 square feet of expired Small Addition floor area has been reallocated to the Community Benefit category by the Planning Commission since 2013 when the allocations were initially established. To date (approximately halfway through the 20-year allocation period), a total of 504,348 square feet, or 84 percent, of the floor area remains available for Community Benefit Projects through 2033.

AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Designation of Proposed Development at 138 Powers Avenue (High Seas Mead) as a Community Benefit Project
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council designate the proposed project at 138 Powers Avenue as a Community Benefit Project pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Chapter 28.85 and allocate 750 square feet (net) of nonresidential floor area to the project from the Nonresidential Growth Management Program’s Economic Development Category.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Project
The project is located in an industrial condominium unit in the Railroad Square Industrial Complex at 138 Powers Avenue. High Seas Mead manufactures and distributes mead (alcoholic beverage made from fermented honey). This manufacturing use is consistent with the property’s Industrial General Plan land use designation. The application currently under review proposes to add a mead tasting room to the manufacturing facility and requires approval of a Parking Modification and a Coastal Development Permit by the Staff Hearing Officer. The requested allocation of 750 square feet of new nonresidential floor area would allow an existing unpermitted mezzanine constructed within the facility to be permitted.
Nonresidential Growth Management Ordinance
Adopted in 2013, the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program limits certain new nonresidential growth to a total of 1.35 million net new square feet until December 31, 2033. This floor area limitation is divided among three development categories:

Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 138 Powers Avenue (High Seas Mead) as a Community Benefit Project
June 27, 2023
New nonresidential projects must be allocated floor area from one or more of the three categories and must also be consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Chapter 28.85. The project site is in the Downtown Development Area. The project site has no available Minor or Small Addition allocations and is not eligible for a Vacant Property allocation; therefore, the applicant has requested an allocation of floor area from the Economic Development category.
Community Benefit Projects include three subcategories: Community Priority Projects, Economic Development Projects, and New Vehicle Sales Projects. The applicant requests designation of this proposed project as an Economic Development Project, which is defined in SBMC Section 28.85.020 as a project that is consistent with the City Charter, General Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance; will enhance the standard of living for City and South Coast residents; and will strengthen the local or regional economy by either creating new permanent employment opportunities or enhancing the City’s revenue base. An Economic Development Project should also accomplish one or more of the following:
a. Support diversity and balance in the local or regional economy by establishing or expanding businesses or industries in sectors which currently do not exist on the South Coast or are present only in a limited manner; or b. Provide new recreational, educational, or cultural opportunities for City residents and visitors; or
c. Provide products or services which are currently not available or are in limited supply either locally or regionally; or
d. Support a small and local business in the Santa Barbara community which is being started, maintained, relocated, redeveloped, or expanded.
For purposes of this code section, “standard of living” is defined as wages, employment, environment, resources, public safety, housing, schools, parks and recreation, social and human services, and cultural arts.
The proposed project is the first to request a floor area allocation from the Economic Development subcategory.
Community Benefit Project Designation
The 750 square feet of requested Community Benefit Project floor area for 138 Powers Avenue represents 0.125 percent of the original 600,000 square feet allocated to Community Benefit Projects in the Nonresidential Growth Management Program until 2033. To date, City Council has allocated a total of 202,320 square feet from the Community Benefit Category to 12 projects, as identified in the table below. Additionally, 106,668 square feet of expired Small Addition floor area has been reallocated to the Community Benefit category by the Planning Commission since 2013 when the Council Agenda Report

Being born and raised in Santa Barbara, we are confident the High Seas Mead taproom will socially and economically benefit the city of Santa Barbara and its residents, as we accomplish the following requirements:
A. Support diversity and balance in the local or regional economy by establishing or expanding businesses or industries in sectors which currently do not exist on the South Coast or are present only in a limited manner.
• At High Seas Mead, we ferment the world’s oldest beverage, known as mead. Mead is limited in supply and not yet as well-known as other alternative alcohol beverages. In the rapidly growing industry, we hope to be the leader of mead production in Santa Barbara and beyond. Locally, there are countless breweries and wineries but we are 1 of 2 businesses producing mead.
• By being open to the public, High Seas will create tax revenue for the city of Santa Barbara and ultimately enhance the City’s revenue base.
B. Provide new recreational, educational, or cultural opportunities for City residents and visitors.
• As young entrepreneurs, we are building a local business with the intention to educate guests about the history of world’s oldest fermented beverage. Once open, we will enhance the standard of living in Santa Barbara by offering a gluten-free, organic, “healthier” alternative to other alcoholic beverages.
• High Seas Mead is located directly behind a handful of popular Santa Barbara hotels on the Cabrillo waterfront, so we hope to service the tourists and guests of Santa Barbara at our tasting room. We already encounter many of these hotel guests while in route to the Funk Zone and State Street, as we are in between their hotels and destination. • Honoring our business plan, we plan to strengthen the local and regional economy by creating new permeant employment opportunities at High Seas Mead.
C. Provide products or services which are currently not available or are in limited supply either locally or regionally.
• Mead, a fermented honey beverage, was a minimally significant contributor to the United States alcohol industry until the late 20th century, at which time a craft industry for mead began to grow. In Santa Barbara, there is only one other company producing similar product.
ATTACHMENT
• At High Seas Mead, we take a modern approach to mead-making by creating nontraditional meads with a lower ABV and use whole, real, organic ingredients. We haven’t seen any products on the market similar to ours in this regard.
D. Support a small and local business in the Santa Barbara community which is being started, maintained, relocated, redeveloped or expanded.
• High Seas Mead is located in a rough, not-yet gentrified neighborhood riddled with drugs, vandalism, and theft. The area is littered with unhealthy garbage stemming from the transient population there, which locals and visitors of Santa Barbara have to witness and observe on their way to and from their hotels, the Funk Zone, or downtown.
Opening up the taproom would help lead the gentrification and redevelopment process of this neighborhood to make it safer, cleaner and more enjoyable for the local community and visitors.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Austin & Anne Corrigan

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Cachuma Conservation Release Board Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Ratification
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council ratify the Cachuma Conservation Release Board’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget, with the City’s proportional share not to exceed $490,560.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Cachuma Conservation Release Board (CCRB) is a joint powers authority agency consisting of three of the four South Coast members of the Cachuma Project: the City of Santa Barbara (City), the Goleta Water District, and the Montecito Water District. The Carpinteria Valley Water District withdrew from the CCRB on January 1, 2011.
Councilmember Kristen Sneddon represents the City on the CCRB.
The CCRB represents the interests of its members in matters relating to Cachuma Project water rights. Major efforts over the years have included preparing technical information and responding to the Cachuma Project Federal Biological Opinion and the Cachuma Project State Water Rights Order. A brief update for each is provided below. Cachuma Project Federal Biological Opinion: The southern California steelhead (steelhead), which occurs in the Santa Ynez River, was listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1997. In response to this listing, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), after consultation with the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), issued the Cachuma Project Federal Biological Opinion (BO) in 2000, which addresses the effects of the Cachuma Project’s operations on steelhead and its designated critical habitat in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Because Reclamation was unable to timely meet certain habitat restoration requirements contained in the BO, Reclamation is again consulting with NMFS pursuant to Section 7, in particular, by preparing a new Biological Assessment for Cachuma Project operations. NMFS will use the Biological Assessment to create a new BO that will Agenda Item No. 24

Council Agenda Report

then govern operations of Cachuma Lake and its effect on steelhead and its designated critical habitat. It is important for CCRB to participate in these efforts by providing biological and hydrological technical support, while also protecting Cachuma Project operations and the City’s available water supply. Cachuma Project State Water Rights Order: After nearly two decades of work, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a new water rights order on September 17, 2019. The new order directs Reclamation to increase flows on the Santa Ynez River below Bradbury Dam to provide additional habitat for steelhead and maintain the species in good condition. To minimize impacts on local water users, higher flows will be required only during wetter years. However, this will reduce available storage in Cachuma going into normal and dry years, and it will reduce supplies available for use by the Cachuma Member Units. The new order imposes multiple operational conditions on Reclamation as the permit holder, and City staff are working with CCRB to provide biological and hydrological technical support to help Reclamation develop plans that comply with these conditions.
Proposed Action
On April 6, 2023, the CCRB approved the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget (see Attachment).
To become effective, the budget must be ratified by each member agency. The total CCRB budget for Fiscal Year 2024 is $1,200,000, which is a $29,000 decrease from last year’s budget of $1,229,000. The City’s cost share is 40.88%, which is $490,560 for Fiscal Year 2024.
Of CCRB’s proposed budget changes, as compared to last year, Administrative Services have decreased by $2,000, or 0.75%; Legal Services have decreased by $40,000, or
5.72%; and Consultant Activities have increased by $13,000, or 4.94%. Consultant Activities pertain to providing biological, hydrological, and regulatory advisory services to CCRB in support of Reclamation, while also working to protect Cachuma Project operations and the City’s available water supply. Costs for legal and consultant services are referred to in generalities, as they represent work that is protected from disclosure under the attorney work product privilege and related statutory and common law privileges due to the potential for litigation associated with these matters.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The CCRB’s total proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024 is $1,200,000. The Adopted Water Operating Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 includes sufficient expenditure appropriations to cover the City’s 40.88% cost share of the CCRB budget, which is $490,560.
WATER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the City's Water Commission at its meeting on May 18, 2023, and the Commission voted 5:0:0 in support of staff’s recommendations.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Downtown Team Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Assessment Report for Fiscal Year 2024 [Resolution] RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Consider any appropriate protests to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Assessment Report for Fiscal Year 2024, as required under the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989; and
B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara, Fixing and Assessing the Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2024, and Confirming Approval of the Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Assessment Report for Fiscal Year 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council, as the governing body of the Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA), is required by California State Law to prepare and adopt an Annual Report describing any proposed changes to the PBIA’s district boundaries, benefit zones, business classification, and method and basis of levying assessments. The Annual Report must be prepared prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. On May 11, 2023, the Downtown Parking Committee and the PBIA Advisory Board recommended approval of the PBIA Annual Assessment Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (see Attachment). The PBIA is the assessment mechanism allowing the City of Santa Barbara (City) to provide affordable parking rates to customers, visitors, and clients of the Downtown area. This 53-year partnership between the Downtown business community and the Downtown Parking Program has helped to keep Santa Barbara’s Downtown economically viable.
The Downtown Parking Program’s budget is funded primarily by hourly parking revenues and, to a lesser extent, by PBIA assessments and parking permit sales. These funds partially finance the operation and maintenance of the parking lots, with PBIA revenues used for the operation of the Downtown Parking System.
Agenda Item No. 25
File Code No. 550.1
Council Agenda Report
Public Hearing Regarding Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Assessment Report for Fiscal Year 2024 [Resolution]
June 27, 2023
For FY 2024, staff proposes a status quo Annual Report with no changes proposed for the PBIA benefit zones, the basis for levying assessments, or for the calculations and formulas or classifications of businesses.
In FY 2020, the City hired Walker Consultants to review the PBIA’s assessment methodologies, calculate the parking benefit, and comment on the Downtown Parking Program’s operational model. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, that effort was placed on hold.
In FY 2024, Downtown Parking staff will working with the Downtown Parking Committee and community stakeholders to evaluate the role of the PBIA in Downtown Parking’s budget and operations and determine whether changes to the PBIA assessment methodology or parking funding sources are needed.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The PBIA assessment generates about $1 million in revenue each year. PBIA contributions for FY 2023 were originally expected to be approximately $900,000.
However, PBIA receipts for the first five months of FY 2023 were stronger than expected, causing an upward revision of the year-end projection to $1,100,865. Based on the PBIA revenue in FY 2023, staff conservatively expects to receive approximately $1 million in PBIA revenue for FY 2024 and maintains this figure for the FY 2024 budget.
The Annual Report will be filed with the City Clerk’s Office as required by law; a copy may be requested from the Public Works Department for public review by contacting [email protected].

INTRODUCTION
This report, filed annually as required by the California Parking and Business Improvement Law of 1989, will provide an explanation of any proposed changes, including, but not limited to the boundaries of the adopted City of Santa Barbara Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA) or any benefit zones within the area, the basis for levying the assessments, and any changes in the classifications of businesses.
The PBIA assessments benefit the City of Santa Barbara’s Downtown Parking Management Program, which operates and maintains seven public parking lots and five structures in the downtown core business area, providing a total of 3,215 parking spaces. The Program is oriented towards clients and shoppers, and is directed by the City’s Circulation Element to increase the available public parking and reduce the need for employee parking in the downtown core. Employee parking is mitigated by Alternative Transportation initiatives to increase carpooling, bicycling, and mass transit programs. The Downtown Parking budget is funded primarily by hourly parking revenues, and to a lesser extent, by the PBIA assessment and parking permits revenues. The PBIA revenues are directed solely towards hourly employee salaries and utility costs in support of the operation and maintenance of the parking lots.
Revenues derived from hourly parking fees and monthly permits support the balance of operating expenses remaining from the PBIA assessment and Alternative Transportation programs.
Attached hereto and incorporated by reference is the “Addendum to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Final Engineer's Report of Formula and Methodology of Assessment dated October 5, 1999” (Addendum), which is on file at the City Clerk's Office, and which shall form the basis of the Annual Report.
I. PROPOSED CHANGES
For Fiscal Year 2024, there are no changes to the PBIA benefit zones, the basis for levying the assessments or any changes in the classifications of businesses.
II. IMPROVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES
The PBIA assessments replace the requirements placed on businesses to provide their own onsite customer parking. A parking rate, designed to promote short-term customer and client parking, is currently in effect in all City-operated Downtown Parking lots.
These facilities are maintained and operated by the City's Downtown Parking staff. -2-

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: June 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Downtown Team Division, Public Works Department; Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Continued Closure of State Street Promenade to Motor Vehicles and Direction Regarding Future of Temporary Outdoor Dining Operations Upon Expiration of the Economic Recovery Extension and Transition Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance that will continue closure to motor vehicles on the 500 through 1200 blocks of State Street and continue the revised vehicle configurations on the 400 and 1300 blocks of State Street, until December 31, 2026, or until adoption of the Create State - State Street Master Plan permanent ordinance implementing the traffic pattern recommendation, whichever is earlier; B. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to continue temporary outdoor business facilities on the 500 through 1300 blocks of State Street, subject to the rules and regulations under Ordinance No. 6055, including maintenance of valid outdoor business facility license agreements and payment of required monthly license fees; and
C. Direct the Community Development Department to establish submittal requirements and an application deadline for a complete development application under applicable zoning requirements for on-site outdoor facilities and allow onsite outdoor facilities established under Ordinance No. 6055 to remain in place past December 31, 2023, while the application is processed.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Economic Recovery Extension and Transition Ordinance (ERETO), authorizing the closure of the State Street Promenade (Promenade) to vehicle traffic, temporary parklets throughout the City of Santa Barbara (City), and temporary expansion of outdoor dining on private property, expires on December 31, 2023. Temporary operations in the public rightof-way were initially authorized in response to restrictions on indoor business operations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

government, and the World Health Organization (WHO) have since declared an end to the COVID-19 emergency.
On March 9, 2021, Council directed staff to initiate the planning processes necessary to prepare a master plan and establish an advisory committee for the Create State - State Street Master Plan (Master Plan).
After engaging with stakeholders and community interests, and evaluating safety and circulation concerns, staff recommends continuing the closure of the 500 through 1300 blocks of State Street to motor vehicles and continuing to allow temporary outdoor business facilities on the Promenade as development of the Master Plan proceeds.
As part of a long-term effort, staff also recommends identifying opportunities for sidewalk expansion to safely accommodate permanent outdoor dining in locations throughout the City. If Council adopts the recommended vehicle restriction and accompanying business facilities ordinances, and the ERETO expires on December 31, 2023, temporary outdoor dining in the public right-of-way throughout the City will be eliminated outside of the 500 through 1300 blocks of State Street. Additionally, temporary outdoor dining on private property outside of the 500 through 1300 blocks of State Street will be eliminated unless the owner secures the appropriate permits.
DISCUSSION:
In response to restrictions on indoor dining during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Council adopted the Emergency Economic Recovery Ordinance No. 5944 on May 27, 2020, authorizing food service businesses to establish temporary outdoor dining areas (parklets) in the public-right-of-way, the closure of State Street to motor vehicles, and the temporary expansion of outdoor dining on private property without permits.
Ordinance No. 5944 was amended and extended as Ordinance Nos. 5963 and 5993, before being replaced by ERETO Ordinance No. 6055.
Since the adoption of these ordinances, the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.
California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency ended on February 28, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the WHO declared COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency, and the federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 officially ended on May 11, 2023.
As noted above, Council directed staff to initiate the planning process to prepare a Master Plan under the advisory direction of the State Street Advisory Committee and transition from a temporary to a permanent closure of certain blocks of State Street to motor vehicles.
This planning process is underway, and a final report from the State Street Advisory Committee is expected in 2024. However, current authorization for the closure of the Promenade to vehicle traffic, temporary outdoor dining areas in the public right-of-way, and temporary expansion of outdoor dining on private property will end when the ERETO expires on December 31, 2023.

Community and Business Interest
Outdoor dining has remained popular even as pandemic restrictions on indoor dining have eased. Many customers have come to expect an outdoor seating option when visiting a restaurant, and many restaurants rely on the income generated by the extra seating capacity as operational costs have risen.
However, not all restaurants have been equal beneficiaries of temporary dining expansions. Businesses on the 500 through 1300 blocks of State Street and the 00 block of West Victoria Street are able to have larger on-street dining facilities than restaurants in other parts of the City due to the full or partial closure of these blocks to vehicular traffic.
Some restaurants are not able to construct parklets or provide additional dining expansions due to their location. These restaurants may have lost business to other locations with outdoor facilities. Additionally, extra seating capacity in the public right-ofway has been provided to businesses with parklets free of charge, resulting in an advantage over businesses not able to expand into the public right-of-way.
On June 20, 2023, staff hosted a community forum to discuss the future of outdoor dining.
Concurrently, staff conducted a community survey about outdoor dining. A summary of the community forum and the survey is provided in the staff presentation.
Following the creation of the Promenade, Council authorized the development of a Master Plan to revitalize Downtown by developing a new vision for the neighborhood. The Master Planning process has involved extensive community outreach, including a survey receiving over 6,000 responses. 79% of respondents expressed a desire to keep the Promenade closed to motor vehicles. Additionally, 88% indicated they currently come to State Street for food and beverage. In the Master Plan, outdoor dining will be deliberately integrated into the long-term design of State Street, likely in a café-like manner that is portable, flexible, located directly adjacent to restaurant buildings where possible, and blended into the El Pueblo Viejo historic district.
Council, including the members of the State Street Interim Operations Ad Hoc Subcommittee (SSIOAHC), have expressed support for continuing the closure of the Promenade during the Master Planning process and the interim period before redevelopment.
Safety Considerations
Since temporary on-street dining was authorized in May of 2020, there have been two instances of vehicles colliding with parklets and causing major damage. On April 16, 2021, a vehicle swerved out of the travel lane and into a parklet at 428 East Haley Street (Twenty-Four Blackbirds). On April 29, 2023, an alleged drunk driver crashed into the parklet at 15 East Ortega Street (The Press Room). In both instances, the structures were destroyed. Both parklets were unoccupied at the time of the collisions, and no one was injured.

Continued Closure of State Street Promenade to Motor Vehicles and Direction Regarding Future of Temporary Outdoor Dining Operations Upon Expiration of the Economic Recovery Extension and Transition Ordinance

Recommendations
State Street Promenade
The ERETO establishes the Promenade as a pilot program pending completion of the Master Plan and further Council action. It is a temporary program initially authorized under Vehicle Code § 21101 (e) and is now authorized under Vehicle Code §§ 21101 (e) and (f). Council previously directed staff to implement amendments to the Circulation Element of the General Plan to take advantage of the street closure authorized under Vehicle Code § 21101 (g). The SSIOAHC reviewed options for the Promenade and recommended keeping the Promenade closed to motor vehicles and continuing to allow outdoor business facilities during the interim period. Staff recommends Council adopt an ordinance to continue to allow closure of the 500 through 1200 blocks of State Street (the Promenade as defined in the ERETO), and to continue the revised vehicle configurations on the 400 block and 1300 block of State Street. This ordinance would remain in effect until December 31, 2026, or until adoption of the Master Plan permanent ordinance implementing the traffic pattern recommendation in the Master Plan; whichever is earlier.
Staff also recommends Council adopt an accompanying ordinance allowing temporary outdoor business facilities on the Promenade, subject to the rules and regulations under the ERETO, including maintenance of valid outdoor business facility license agreements and payment of required monthly license fees. These fees help to defray the overall cost of Promenade operation and maintenance.
1300 Block of State Street
The 1300 block of State Street is adjacent to the northern boundary of the Promenade.
When the Promenade opened, this block was temporarily reconfigured to a one-way street going northbound with diagonal parking on the west side and temporary outdoor dining facilities on both sides of the street. To access the Promenade, vehicles travel southbound on State Street and turn left on Sola Street and right on Anacapa Street.
Sola Street is currently under construction as part of the Westside Community Paseos Project to be bike friendly and connect the Westside, Oak Park, West Downtown, Upper East, Laguna, and Eastside neighborhoods to Downtown. Community input and the Council-adopted 2016 Bicycle Master Plan determined Sola Street to be a strong eastwest route through Downtown.
The current left-turn traffic movement onto Sola Street from State Street may potentially increase traffic volume. To be designated as bike friendly, roadway volumes need to be less than 3,000 vehicles per day on Sola Street. If the threshold is hit, the 1300 block of State Street must return to its original two-way vehicular traffic, or the current one-way vehicular traffic layout must extend to the 1400 block of State Street for left-turn traffic to move to Micheltorena Street. The staff recommendation is to keep the temporary roadway configuration on the 1300 block the same until staff can evaluate the traffic volume on Sola Street after the Westside Community Paseos Project is constructed.

June 27, 2023
Regardless of future roadway configurations of the 1300 block, there are opportunities in the long term under the Master Planning effort to expand the sidewalks on this block and enhance them to match the Promenade’s sidewalks or future design. Ideally, the sidewalk in front of the Arlington Theater and adjacent restaurants on the west side of the street should be widened for outdoor dining and to enhance the vitality of this block as part of Downtown’s Theatre District. On-street parking in this area may be limited, but City Lots 5 and 6 are adjacent to the block.
Outdoor Business Facilities on Private Property
Staff recommends a return to standard City review and permitting processes for outdoor business facilities on private property when the ERETO expires on December 31, 2023.
Businesses wishing to permanently expand their outdoor business facilities past this date must apply for the required permits and approvals through the Community Development Department and will be subject to all applicable municipal code requirements. For businesses that currently have temporary expanded outdoor facilities, Staff recommends that Council establish a grace period allowing these businesses to submit a complete application and remain in operation while their application is processed by the City. All other unpermitted outdoor business facilities must be removed before the ERETO expires on December 31, 2023. It should be noted that the end of the state and federal COVID19 emergency may reinstate the application and/or enforcement of previous building code requirements (e.g., restroom facilities) and permitting requirements (e.g., California Coastal Act, Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses, etc.).
Parklets in the Public Right-Of-Way
The City Engineer and the City Principal Traffic Engineer have determined continuing a parklet program on streets open to vehicular traffic should include placement of substantial safety barriers (K-rail or similar) around all sides of each parklet. The space occupied by these safety barriers would leave very little space for a dining operation, create significant accessibility issues, and be aesthetically cumbersome, thus making onstreet parklets impractical in most situations.
Given the popularity of outdoor dining, staff recommends evaluating opportunities to expand sidewalks to accommodate permanent outdoor dining, where feasible, through an update to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans. The City would need to apply for grant funding for these planning efforts, which will take one to two years to complete and would include a list of community-requested active transportation capital projects for the next 15 years. It is anticipated that widened sidewalks for pedestrian amenities like outdoor dining will be very costly (in the millions) due to utility relocations, drainage and stormwater compliance, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. Staff also recommends reviewing the City’s Outdoor Dining License Agreement program to determine opportunities to expand this very successful program.

00 Block of West Victoria Street
Staff recommends returning the 00 block of West Victoria Street back to its original configuration to balance traffic congestion across the other State Street cross streets. The outdoor dining facilities will need to be removed by December 31, 2023, with the expiration of the ERETO. As part of the Master Plan, there are future opportunities to expand sidewalks on this block. Sidewalk expansion would result in the trade-off of eliminating some or all of the on-street parking and loading zones for deliveries and accessibility, with the exception of preserving loading adjacent to the Ensemble Theatre.
The longer-term configuration of this block and other cross streets are part of the Master Planning effort.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
Administration of the temporary outdoor dining program on public right-of-way and on private property requires considerable staff time. Phasing out temporary operations will enable staff to direct attention to other priority projects including ADA enforcement, Promenade daily operation and maintenance, and maintenance of ten parking lots and five parking structures totaling over 3,000 public parking spaces and managing the City’s Ambassador program. As part of the approved Fiscal Year 2024 budget, Downtown Parking does not have the resources or staffing to develop, implement and manage an outdoor dining program beyond the existing program on the Promenade. At the same time, the end of temporary outdoor dining may result in a slight decrease in tax revenues due to reduced restaurant seating capacity.

SUBJECT: Recommendations for Appointment to the Santa Barbara Youth Council June 2023
On March 27, 2012, the City Council approved a resolution formally establishing the Santa Barbara Youth Council as a City Council advisory committee. The resolution stipulated that applicants for vacant positions on the Youth Council would be interviewed by both the Mayor and City Council and the sitting Youth Council board.
