SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS (Continued)
Capital Outlay Fund (3000)
Technology Fees received in excess of technology related costs for the year are transferred to the Capital Fund to support future technology needs and upgrades. The FY23 Technology Fees Capital Fund transfer exceeds the budgeted amount.

This entry increases the expenditure appropriations for transfer out, increases expenditure appropriations for unbudgeted purchase of additional Accela licenses, increases estimated revenue for transfer in to Fund 3000, and balances the entry in the General Fund by increasing estimated revenues for Technology Fees to offset the increase in appropriations for the transfer out and unbudgeted Accela expenditures.
$ 43,810 - $ 43,810 $
Increase estimated revenue in Capital Outlay Funds for the surplus Public Works Technology Fee revenues received in Fiscal Year 2023 that exceeded related costs (the technology fee revenue less the Public Works Accela project backfill and operational costs). At year end this fee revenue was sufficient to cover the operational costs related to the technology fee so the surplus is transferred to the Capital Outlay Fund to fund the eventual replacement of the Accela system. $ 95,039 95,039 $

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: Grant Agreement with South Coast Community Media Access Center, dba TV Santa Barbara [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute a two-year grant agreement with the South Coast Community Media Access Center for management of the public, educational, and government access television channels in an amount of $297,445 plus an amount for public, educational and government access (PEG) capital expenditures equal to 50% of the actual PEG fees received by the City for Fiscal Year 2024.

DISCUSSION:

Since January 1, 2003, upon its formation, the South Coast Community Media Access Center, doing business as TV Santa Barbara (TVSB), has been designated by the County of Santa Barbara under its cable franchise with Cox Communications as the nonprofit entity to manage the public and educational access channels in the Santa Barbara South Coast Region. The City has maintained annual grant agreements with TVSB since that time.

The Fiscal Year 2024 adopted budget includes $297,445 in base funding for management of the public and educational access television channels in the Community Promotions program. The adopted Community Promotions budget also includes an additional amount not to exceed $105,000 for PEG capital expenditures generated from PEG fees levied on Cox Communications.

The following is a summary of the major provisions of the proposed grant agreement with TVSB for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025:

Agenda Item No. 7
File Code No. 170.01
Council Agenda Report
Grant Agreement with South Coast Community Media Access Center, dba TV Santa Barbara [Agreement]
September 26, 2023

Page 2 ends

1. Term: July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2025.

2. Base Funding: The City will grant TVSB quarterly advance payments of $70,611.25 for public and educational access support, totaling $282,445. Additionally, the City will grant $15,000 to be paid in January 2024 and January 2025, dedicated for support of educational access.

3. PEG Capital Funding: Under the current state video franchising law (DIVCA), PEG fees may be levied on video service providers and are limited exclusively for PEG-related capital expenditures. Ordinance No. 5786, adopted on April 18, 2017, includes a PEG fee of 1.0% of which 0.5% percent is designed to provide for capital funding to TVSB. Based on the PEG fees generated in Fiscal Year 2023, the City estimates that it will remit to TVSB approximately $105,000 in Fiscal Year 2024 and $107,000 in Fiscal Year 2025, to be used solely to cover capital expenditures contained in its Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.

The PEG capital funding will be paid quarterly, based on actual PEG fee collections during the previous quarter. The capital funding will be paid by PEG fees levied on Cox and, while not required to do so, Cox may elect to pass through the PEG fees to its subscribers on their cable bills.

4. Indemnification: The City will be indemnified against any and all claims and actions arising from the performance of services under the agreement. Indemnification is a standard provision in all City grant agreements, including human services and community promotions grants. All nonprofit entities receiving City grant funds are required to defend and indemnify the City from any and all claims which may arise as a result of the actions of the Grantee.

5. Insurance: The insurance provisions are standard insurance requirements for City grant recipients with the exception of the liability policy requirements. Because of the specialized nature of services provided under the agreement, this agreement requires a media and broadcaster’s liability policy. This is the same type of policy required of Cox Communications under the City’s prior franchise agreement.

6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations: The agreement states that TVSB will comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations with specific reference to the Ralph M. Brown Act and the Public Records Act. This language is consistent with the County of Santa Barbara’s legal compliance provisions in its operating agreement with CMAC and the previous City agreements with TVSB.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Adequate expenditure appropriations exist for the PEG fee revenue and grant agreement expenditures in the Mayor and Council budget for fiscal year 2024.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Engineering Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Construction of the Santa Barbara Airport Airfield Markings, Signage, and Lighting Upgrades Project [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:

A. Award a contract with Vellutini Corporation dba Royal Electric Company in their low bid amount of $5,555,555 for construction of the Santa Barbara Airport Airfield Markings, Signage, and Lighting Upgrades Project, Bid No. 4062; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the contract and approve expenditures up to $555,555 to cover any cost increases that may result from contract change orders for extra work and differences between estimated bid quantities and actual quantities measured for payment; and
B. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute a contract with Mead and Hunt, Inc. in the amount of $405,310 for construction administration support and authorize $40,531 for potential extra services.

DISCUSSION:

Project Description
The Santa Barbara Airport (Airport) Airfield Markings, Signage, and Lighting Upgrades Project (Project) will update the current airfield lighting system to all LED lighting, rename the existing taxiways, and update the existing markings and signage to coincide with the new taxiway names. The Airport Layout Plan will also be updated to coincide with the new taxiway designations. This new and simplified airfield naming convention will better align with standards as stated in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Engineering Brief 89.

Utilizing the standard taxiway naming convention will benefit pilots flying in and out of the Airport.

On June 8, 2021, Council authorized the award of the Project design to Mead and Hunt, Inc. to develop construction drawings and an updated Signage and Marking Plan to implement the new taxiway naming convention. Contracting with Mead and Hunt, Inc. for construction administration support equips the Project with a daily construction observer Agenda Item No. 8

to review construction progress and ensure compliance with Project plans and specifications.

Contract Bids
One bid was received for the subject work as follows:

BIDDER BID AMOUNT

1. Vellutini Corporation dba Royal Electric Company
Sacramento, CA
$5,555,555
The low bid of $5,555,555, submitted by Vellutini Corporation dba Royal Electric Company, is an acceptable bid that is responsive to and meets the requirements of the bid specifications. The bid exceeded the engineer’s estimate, however, given the current bidding climate, state of inflation, and limited numbers of qualified bidders for this work, rebidding the Project is unlikely to result in a more favorable outcome.

The change order funding recommendation of $555,555 (10%) is typical for this type of work and size of project.

Community Outreach
In support of the Project, Mead and Hunt, Inc. will provide services for developing visual graphics and holding public outreach meetings to communicate the taxiway naming changes during construction to pilots and other Airport stakeholders.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

On August 22, 2023, Council authorized the acceptance of FAA Airport Improvement Program grant offer No. 3-06-0235-071-2023 for construction project costs. With acceptance of the grant offer, there are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Airport Grants Fund and Airport Capital Fund to cover the cost of this Project, including the proposed contracts and extra services with the Vellutini Corporation and Mead and Hunt, Inc.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Airport received a Categorical Exclusion from the FAA on May 13, 2021 for this Project pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Therefore, no further federal environmental disclosure documentation for this Project is necessary for NEPA purposes.

The Airport received a Coastal Exemption in March 2023 from the Planning Division of the Community Development Department. This Project qualifies for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption according to CEQA Guideline § 15301 for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of existing or former use. This Project falls under subdivision (b) of § 15301.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Human Resources Department
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement for Labor Negotiations [Agreement] RECOMMENDATION:

That Council approve and authorize the Human Resources Director to execute an amendment to the Labor Relations agreement (Santa Barbara Agreement #22400045) with the Law Firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore increasing the contract amount by $23,000, for a total not to exceed $46,000.

DISCUSSION:

Due to complex and constantly changing state and federal labor laws and court rulings, specialized legal services are needed during labor negotiations with the City’s employee bargaining groups to ensure that negotiated memorandums of understanding are valid and binding on the parties concerned. Attorneys from Liebert Cassidy Whitmore have satisfactorily performed these services for the City of Santa Barbara, and for numerous other public agencies throughout California, for decades.

The Fiscal Year 2024 budget included funding for Liebert attorney services during negotiations. An increase in the contract with Liebert in the amount of $23,000 is necessary to cover Liebert’s services related to assistance of ongoing and upcoming negotiations.

A copy of the agreement can be obtained by emailing [email protected] BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The increase of $23,000 to the contract will lead to a total contract amount of $46,000, requiring Council approval. There is sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Human Resources Fiscal Year 2024 budget to cover this cost, so no additional expenditure appropriations are necessary.

Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Approving a Development Agreement for a 63-Unit Residential Building at 400 W. Carrillo Street by and Between the City of Santa Barbara and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara.

DISCUSSION:

In 2019, City Council directed staff to work with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara (Housing Authority) in pursuit of a workforce housing project on the City’s Carrillo Commuter Parking Lot (Carrillo Lot). Council established the objectives for the project and executed a Project Agreement with the Housing Authority. The subject Development Agreement would allow the density requested by the Housing Authority and authorize construction of the project. No other permit mechanism exists to allow the requested density at this time, given that the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program was not amended using floor-to-lot-area ratio standards as anticipated at the project’s inception in 2019.

The Planning Commission reviewed the project on August 10, 2023 (see attached Planning Commission staff report), which contains an analysis of the development agreement and the findings required to approve it. The Planning Commission recommended City Council make the environmental findings and approve the Development Agreement subject to the conditions of approval incorporated into the Agenda Item No. 11
File Code No. 640.1

Development Agreement, with the clarification that Tier 2 stormwater requirements apply to the improvements in the right-of-way (Exhibit C of the Development Agreement).

Proposed Development Agreement
Below is a summary of the key provisions of the proposed Development Agreement:
 Density. Allows for increased density (57 dwelling units per acre rather than 27) in exchange for deed-restricted affordable housing, with a mix of income-restriction levels. State Density Bonus Law allows for the requested increased density, provided that the units are limited to all low-income households; however, this project aims to provide housing for middle- and moderate-income households that earn too much to qualify for Affordable housing or related assistance programs1 but too little to afford market-rate housing in Santa Barbara.  Height. Allows an additional 18 inches of building height beyond the zoning height limit of 45 feet to accommodate the architectural features proposed.  Open Yard. Allows an open yard design with 4,534 square feet of qualifying open yard2 , even though approximately 7,000 square feet is required, given that additional open yard areas are provided that do not meet all the criteria.  Mission Creek Development Limitation Area Encroachment. Allows a perimeter fence and surface parking stalls to encroach into the 25-foot Development Limitation Area adjacent to the creek, in approximately the same location as the existing fence and parking that currently encroach.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City owns the subject property, which is currently operated as a City parking lot; therefore, construction of the project would result in budget implications for the City.

These were assessed during City Council’s approval of the Project Agreement in 2019, as follows:

The Downtown Parking Fund operating budget includes estimated revenues attributable to the Carrillo Lot, with permit sales generating approximately $72,960 in gross revenue each year. Upon commencement of construction, the Project will eliminate the City’s present revenue stream generated by monthly parking fees charged to commuters. The current estimated City net income from parking fees after expenses is approximately $26,000 annually. To compensate the City for lost revenue, the Project will pay the City a minimum $15,000 per year during the time when the Project net cash flow is less than 1 Section 8 housing subsidies, tenant-based rental assistance programs, security deposit assistance programs, for example.
2 Qualifying open yard meets all open yard standards and location limitations.

the cumulative investor yield. When the cash flow exceeds the cumulative investor yield, the Project will pay to the City an amount up to $30,000 per year from net cash flow, adjusted annually for inflation. This fee will be known as the In-Lieu Parking Income Fee.

During the construction and initial lease-up period, there will be no net cash flow from the Project available to pay the Fee; therefore, during the construction period, the Fee will be capitalized into the Project’s cost based on $30,000 annually. After lease-up is complete, the payment will then be treated as an operating expense.

However, the subject action (environmental findings and approval of a Development Agreement) does not have a budget/financial impact on the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed residential development qualifies as a transit priority project under Public Resources Code Section 21155(b), because the residential use is greater than 50 percent of development; it provides a minimum net density of at least 20 dwelling units per acre; and the project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor included in a regional transportation plan. The project site is substantially surrounded by urban uses and is consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in the Sustainable Communities Strategy adopted by Santa Barbara County Association of Governments in 2017.

In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21155.1, if the legislative body finds, after conducting a public hearing, that a transit priority project meets specified requirements, the transit priority project is declared to be a “sustainable communities project” and is exempt from CEQA.

Staff has reviewed the proposal and site conditions and has determined that the project complies with all the requirements of 21155.1(a) and (b) and one of the conditions of (c). (See Attachment, page 180, Environmental Review, for details.) Therefore, staff recommends the City Council make the finding that the project is a sustainable communities project.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA APPROVING A
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR A 63-UNIT
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AT 400 W. CARRILLO

STREET BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF

SANTA BARBARA AND HOUSING AUTHORITY

OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
WHEREAS, Government Code Sections 65864-65869.5 authorize local agencies to enter into a binding Development Agreement (as such agreements are defined by Government Code §§65864-65869.5) with a property owner for the development of property in order to give assurances to the property owner and the City that, once approved under the applicable planning and zoning codes, a development project can proceed in accordance with existing land development policies, rules and regulations.

WHEREAS, under the Santa Barbara City Charter, the City exercises control over municipal affairs, including the land development process, and has authority to enter into development agreements for purposes consistent with the public health, safety and general welfare.

WHEREAS, the recitals of the attached Development Agreement between the City of Santa Barbara and Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara, a public body, corporate and politic, hereinafter referred to as the “Housing Authority,” are a complete and accurate recitation of the review conducted for and consideration given the Project (as defined in the Development Agreement) and such recitals are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines with respect to the Project as follows:

A. CEQA FINDINGS. The following environmental findings and determinations are made pursuant to and in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, Division13):

1. The project is exempt from further environmental review under Public Resources Code Section 21155.1 [Implementation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy] because the project involves construction of residentialonly development that provides a minimum net density of at least 20 dwelling units per acre and is within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality 2 transit corridor included in a regional transportation plan and meets the requirements of Section 21155.1 (a), (b) and (c). Additionally, the development meets all the specified environmental criteria, land use criteria, and housing requirements as identified in the Planning Commission Staff Report dated August 3, 2023.

B. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FINDINGS. The following findings are made pursuant to and in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 89-102:

1. The Development Agreement is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The Agreement allows development of the site with a project (residential units and parking) that is compatible with the vision of the West Downtown Neighborhood area described in the General Plan, is consistent with the General Plan designation of Medium-High Density Residential due to the provision of deed-restricted affordable housing units, and is consistent with the C-G (Commercial General) zoning designation. The Development Agreement is also consistent with policies of the General Plan related to circulation, safety and environmental resources, and General Plan policies related to housing, environmental resources, visual quality, and cultural resources. Additional information is provided in Section VII of the August 3, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report.

2. The Development Agreement is in substantial conformance with public necessity, convenience, and general welfare and good zoning practices because it will provide additional housing units that are deed-restricted as affordable housing, with the majority restricted to moderate-income or middleincome households, which is an unmet need in the community, and;

3. The Development Agreement provides assurance to the developer of the right to develop a project in accordance with the terms of the agreement and adequate consideration is provided to the City.

SECTION 2. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The City Council of the City of Santa Barbara hereby adopts the Development Agreement included as Exhibit A. The City Administrator is authorized to execute the Development Agreement on behalf of the City and to take all actions necessary or convenient to implementation of the agreement.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises, obligations and covenants of this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and the Housing Authority agree as follows:

I. Relationship to Project Agreement. This Agreement and the Project Agreement are intended to be construed together as compatible and consistent agreements; provided, however, to the extent that a provision of this Agreement is inconsistent and incompatible with the Project Agreement, the parties will in good faith interpret the provisions in a manner that best implements the Project.

II. Property Description and Binding Covenants. The Property subject to this Agreement is described in Exhibit B to this Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement by the parties and recordation of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute covenants that shall run with the Property and bind and inure to the benefit of all successors in interest and assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be recorded against the Property as required by California Government Code Section 65868.5.

III. Term; Option to Terminate. This Agreement has a term of 10 years commencing on the Effective Date (“Term”), unless said Term is terminated, modified, or extended by circumstances set forth in this Agreement, or by mutual consent of the parties hereto. 3 IV. Tolling and Extension During Legal Challenge or Moratoria. If this Agreement or any of the Development Approvals are subjected to legal challenge and the Housing Authority is unable to proceed with development of the Property due to such legal challenge (or the Housing Authority provides written notice to the City that it is electing not to proceed with development of the Property until such legal challenge is resolved to the Housing Authority’s satisfaction), the Term and timing for obligations imposed by this Agreement shall be extended and tolled during such legal challenge until the entry of a final order or judgment upholding this Agreement or the challenged Development Approval or the litigation is dismissed by stipulation of the parties; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Housing Authority shall have the right to elect, in the Housing Authority’s sole and absolute discretion, to proceed with development of the Property at any point by providing the City written notice that it is electing to proceed, in which event the tolling of the Term of this Agreement shall cease as of the date of such notice. Similarly, if the Housing Authority is unable to develop the Property due to the imposition by the City or other public agency of a development moratoria for a public health and safety reason unrelated to the performance of the Housing Authority’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, moratoria imposed due to the unavailability of water or sewer to serve the Property), then the Term of this Agreement and the timing for obligations imposed pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended and tolled for the period of time that such moratoria prevents development of the Property.

V. Amendment to Agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by mutual written consent of the parties in accordance with applicable laws governing development agreements. The parties acknowledge that under the City Zoning Ordinance and applicable rules, regulations and policies of the City, the Community Development Director or his or her designee has the discretion to approve alterations or revisions to any approved land use entitlement for the Property that are in substantial conformance with the entitlement. Accordingly, any alteration or revision to an entitlement or approval that the City Community Development Director determines to be in substantial conformance with the approved land use entitlements and relates to the Property shall not constitute nor require an amendment to this Agreement to be effective.

V I . Low Income Units. Since the Project Agreement was signed, it has been determined that 7 of the total 63 units of the Project will be occupied by Low-Income Households (qualified Housing Choice Voucher holding households with incomes under 80% of area median income).

Pursuant to the Section 8 program rules, they will pay 30% of their income towards rent and the balance of the owed rent – up to the area HUD payment standard rent for the Section 8 program – will be covered by the federal subsidy. Utility expenses for these seven units will be paid by the Owner Entity.

V I I . Permitted Uses. The permitted uses of the Property and the purpose, intensity, and density of use, applicable to the Property shall be those set forth in the Project Agreement, unless revised or clarified in this Agreement.

VIII. Development Requirements. This Agreement authorizes the Housing Authority to develop the Project at a density that will accommodate 63 rental housing units, with a building height up to 46 feet 6 inches, and open yard of 4,534 square feet. In addition, parking, fencing 4 and yard amenities may encroach into the Mission Creek Development Limitation Area that would otherwise be applicable to the Property. This Agreement authorizes the Housing Authority to provide unbundled parking allowing rental of parking spaces separately from residential units. The Development Approvals applicable to the Project will be limited to Project Design Approval and Final Approval by the Historic Landmarks Commission. In addition to project design approval by the Historic Landmarks Commission, the Housing Authority will install all public improvements and develop the Project according to the Conditions of Approval attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Project will be subject to Existing City Laws.

IX. Conflicting Ordinances or Moratoria. Except as provided in this Agreement and subject to applicable law relating to the vesting provisions of development agreements, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect, no future resolution, rule, ordinance or legislation adopted by the City or by initiative (whether initiated by the City Council or by voter petition, other than a referendum that specifically overturns the City’s approval of this Agreement) shall directly or indirectly limit the rate, timing, sequencing or otherwise impede development of the Property from occurring in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent any future rules, ordinances, regulations or policies applicable to development of the Property are not inconsistent with this Agreement, such rules, ordinances, regulations and policies shall be applicable.

X. Authority of City. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the authority or obligation of the City to hold necessary public hearings, or to limit the discretion of the City with regard to approval of the Development Approvals or as required under applicable laws, provided that subsequent discretionary actions shall not prevent or delay development of the Property for the permitted uses stated in Section VII of this Agreement.

XI. Application and Project Development Fees; Credit for Development Mitigation Fees. The Housing Authority shall pay those application, processing, inspection and plan check fees as may be required by the City under the then-current regulations for processing applications and requests for any subsequent entitlements for the Property, Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the City shall have the right to impose, and the Housing Authority shall pay, such development fees, impact fees and other such fees levied or collected by the City to offset or mitigate the impacts of development of the Property pursuant to any subsequent entitlements, and which will be used to pay for public utilities and improvements attributable to the Property as have been adopted by the City as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Development Mitigation Fees”). Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any Development Mitigation Fees shall be paid at the time of issuance of building permit.

XII. Existing Development Mitigation Fees. The Project is subject to water and sewer capacity and connection charges in accordance with the City’s adopted fee schedule. The Project is subject to school fees as determined according to applicable law.

XIII. New Development Mitigation Fees. If, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City adopts a new development mitigation fee in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (“New 5 Development Mitigation Fee”) and the New Development Mitigation Fee is applicable on a citywide basis and includes the Property, development of the Property will be subject to the New Development Mitigation Fee.

XIV. Development Approvals by the City. City agrees that no other land use entitlements or discretionary approvals, with the exception of Project Design Approval and Final Approval by the Historic Landmarks Commission are necessary the Project as currently proposed, and which shall be obtained before any vested rights accrue.

XV. Submission of Building and Grading Permit Applications. Housing Authority agrees to submit applications for building and grading permits for the Project within 12 months of the Project Design Approval by the Historic Landmarks Commission. Housing Authority will timely comply with all requirements of applicable building and development regulations except as otherwise provided in Section 7.

XVI. Mutual Cooperation. The parties shall mutually cooperate in achieving the purposes of this Agreement. The parties may mutually agree to minor amendments to the Project or administrative terms of this Agreement which are determined by the City’s Community Development Director to be in substantial conformity with the purpose and intent of this Agreement and do not otherwise require review by the Historic Landmark Commission or Planning Commission. If any legal action instituted by any third party or other governmental entity or official challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to cooperate in defending said action.

XVII. Estoppel Certificate. Either party may, at any time, and from time to time, deliver written notice to the other party requesting such party certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying party, (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the parties, (ii) this Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing, or if so amended, identifying the amendments, and (iii) the requesting party is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in default, to describe therein the nature of the default. The party receiving the request hereunder shall execute and return such certificate to the requesting party within 30 days following receipt thereof. City acknowledges that a certificate hereunder may be relied upon by transferees and mortgagees of the Housing Authority.

XVIII. Mortgagee Protection. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit the Housing Authority’s ability to encumber the Property, or any portion thereof, or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or any other security or financing instrument. City acknowledges that the Housing Authority’s lenders or potential lenders may require certain interpretations of the Agreement and modifications and agrees to meet with the Housing Authority and representatives of such lenders or potential lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any lender that obtains a mortgage or deed of trust against the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
6 A. Neither entering this Agreement nor a breach or this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith for value, unless otherwise required by
B. The mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which the mortgagee has submitted a written request to the City to receive notices, may request to receive written notification from the City of any default by the Housing Authority in the performance of the Housing Authority’s obligations under this Agreement.

C. If the City timely receives a request from a mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to the Housing Authority under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall provide a copy of that notice to the mortgagee within 10 days of sending notice of default to the Housing Authority. The mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during any cure period allowed to the Housing Authority under this Agreement.

D. Any mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, by any means, whether pursuant to foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any mortgagee, or the successors or assigns of any mortgagee, who becomes owner of the Property, or part thereof, through foreclosure shall not be obligated to pay any fees or construct or complete any improvements, unless such Housing Authority desires to continue development of the Property consistent with this Agreement and the applicable land use entitlements, in which case the owner by foreclosure shall assume the obligations of the Housing Authority hereunder in a form acceptable to the City.

E. The foregoing limitation on mortgagees and owners by foreclosure shall not restrict the City’s ability to specifically enforce against such mortgagees or owners by foreclosure any dedication requirements under this Agreement or under any conditions of any other land use entitlements or approvals related to the Property.

XIX. State or Federal Law and Regulations. The Housing Authority acknowledges that applications for development permits may be subject to other agency applications, review, permitting, and applicable fees. In the event state or federal law or regulations enacted after the Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or require changes in plans or permits approved or issued by the City, this Agreement shall be suspended or, with the Housing Authority’s written consent, modified or extended as necessary to comply with such laws or regulations. Promptly following the enactment of any such law or regulation, the Housing Authority and the City shall meet and confer in good faith to determine the feasibility of any such modification, extension or suspension based on the effect such modification, extension or suspension would have on the purposes and intent of this Agreement and the cost to the Housing Authority of constructing and completing development of the Property. In addition, the Housing Authority shall have the right to challenge such law or regulation, and in the event such challenge is successful, this Agreement shall remain 7 unmodified and in full force and effect.

XX. No Waiver. No failure, delay, or omission by a party in exercising or asserting any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall impair such right, power, or remedy, and no failure, delay, or omission by a party occurring upon the other party’s noncompliance with or failure to perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by either party of any failure, delay or omission on the part of the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding failure, delay, or omission of the same or other terms or conditions hereof.

XXI. Force Majeure. In the event any party to this Agreement is unable to perform or fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement on account of acts of God, enemy action, war, strikes, walk outs, riots, governmental actions or restrictions, administrative appeals or legal actions, judicial orders, third-party actions, floods, earthquakes, fire, casualties, or similar bases for excused performance which is not within the reasonable control of the party to be excused, the party obligated to so perform or prevented from performing thereby shall be excused from said performance until such time as said party shall no longer be prevented from performing on account of any of the foregoing reasons.

XXII. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Nothing contained herein or in any document executed in connection herewith shall be construed as making the City and the Housing Authority joint venturers or partners.

XXIII. Assignment, Assumption and Release. As contemplated by and consistent with the Project Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Housing Authority under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned, provided: (i) such transfer or assignment is made as part of a transfer, assignment, sale or long-term lease of the Property and a concurrent transfer of rights to complete the development of the Property, and (ii) prior to such an assignment, the assignee executes and delivers to the City a written assumption of the Housing Authority’s obligations under this Agreement. Any such transfer or assignment shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. During the Term of this Agreement, any such assignee or transferee shall observe and perform all of the duties and obligations of the Housing Authority contained in this Agreement as such duties and obligations pertain to the Property so transferred or assigned. The Housing Authority shall give the City prompt written notice of any such transfer or assignment.

The Housing Authority may free itself from its obligations under this Agreement provided that the transferee or assignee expressly assumes such obligations and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the Property. Upon the full execution of the assumption and assignment agreement, the transferee or assignee shall thenceforth be deemed to be “the Housing Authority” hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 22 shall not apply to any mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, for any part thereof, by any means, whether pursuant to foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

XXIV. Permitted Extensions by City. In addition to any extensions of time otherwise provided in this Agreement, the City, in its sole discretion and acting through its Community Development 8 Director or his or her designee, may extend the time for performance by the Housing Authority of any obligation hereunder. Any such extension shall not require an amendment to this Agreement, so long as such extension only involves the time for performance thereof and does not change the obligations to be performed by the Housing Authority as a condition of such extension.

XXV. Notices. Any notice or communication required by this Agreement must be in writing and may be given either by personal service or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Any notice or communication personally served shall be deemed given and received on the date of personal service on the party noticed at the appropriate address designated below, and any notice or communication sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, properly addressed to the appropriate address designated below, with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given and received on the date appearing on the signed return receipt.

XXVI. Enforceability. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights of the parties under this Agreement shall be enforceable notwithstanding any change subsequent to the Effective Date in any applicable general plan, specific plan, municipal ordinance, or building, zoning, subdivision or other land use ordinance or regulation.

XXVII. Limitation of Remedies. It is acknowledged by the parties that neither party would have entered into this Agreement if doing so would subject it to the risk of incurring liability in money damages, either for breach of this Agreement, anticipatory breach, repudiation of the Agreement, or for any actions with respect to its implementation or application. The parties intend by the provisions of this Section 21 that neither of the parties shall have any liability for money damages arising out of a breach or repudiation of this Agreement, and no liability in money damages for any claims arising out of the application process, negotiation, execution and adoption, or the implementation or application of this Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to specific performance, temporary or permanent injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or restraining orders, except that the parties shall have no liability in money damages for any acts which are alleged to have arisen out of or relate to this Agreement.

The parties further acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate, and specific performance is the most appropriate remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:

A. Money damages are excluded as provided above.

B. Due to the size, nature, and scope of development of the Property, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its original condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, the Housing Authority may be foreclosed from other choices they may have had to utilize the Property or portions thereof. The Housing Authority have invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Development Approvals in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Development Approvals in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate the Housing Authority for such efforts.

Except for claims, demands, actions, or suits in which non-money damages is the sole remedy sought, including without limitation the remedy of specific performance, temporary or permanent injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or restraining orders, the Housing Authority, on the one hand, and the City, on the other hand, for themselves, their successors and assignees, hereby release one another’s officers, trustees, directors, partners, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising 10 out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including, but not limited to, any claim or liability, based or asserted, pursuant to Article I, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any money damages, whatsoever, upon the parties because the parties entered into this Agreement, because of the terms of this Agreement, or because of the manner of implementation or performance of this Agreement.

The City agrees that unless this Agreement is amended or canceled pursuant to the provisions set forth herein it shall be enforceable according to its terms by any party hereto notwithstanding any change hereafter to any general plan, specific plan, zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance or building regulation adopted by the City or initiative, which changes, alters or amends the rules, regulations and policies applicable to the development of the Property or the rights granted to the Housing Authority in this Agreement as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

XXVIII. Annual Reviews. As required by California Government Code § 65865.1 and any City procedures adopted pursuant thereto, the City’s Public Works Director and Community Development Director shall review the Housing Authority’s performance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at least once every 12 months throughout the Term of this Agreement.

XXIX. Definitions

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2023
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Downtown Team Division, Public Works Department; City Attorney; Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Continuing the State Street Promenade Pilot Program, Adding Title 31 to the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, and Update on State Street Interim Operations [Ordinance Introduction]
RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council:

A. Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Santa Barbara Municipal Code by Adding Title 31 Relating to the State Street Promenade; and B. Receive an update on State Street Interim Operations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At the Council meeting on June 27, 2023, in light of the Economic Recovery Extension and Transition Ordinance’s (ERETO) pending expiration, Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to continue the temporary closure to motor vehicles and revised vehicle configurations on portions of State Street. Council also directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance allowing the continuation of temporary outdoor business facilities in the public right-of-way on the State Street Promenade (Promenade), as well as the 1300 block of State Street and 00 block of West Victoria. The proposed Ordinances are detailed in this Council Agenda Report.

Additionally, at the Council meeting on August 29, 2023, Council requested staff prepare monthly updates and actionable items regarding State Street Interim Operations.

DISCUSSION:

Proposed Ordinance Adding Title 31 Relating to the State Street Promenade The ERETO expires on December 31, 2023, and authorizes, among other things, the temporary closure of the Promenade as a pilot program pending completion of the Create State – State Street Master Plan (Master Plan) and further Council action. The State Street Promenade Pilot Program (Pilot Program) is a temporary program initially Agenda Item No. 12

authorized under Vehicle Code § 21101 (e) and is now authorized under Vehicle Code §§ 21101 (e) and (f).

At the Council meeting on June 27, 2023, in light of the ERETO’s pending expiration, Council reviewed options for the Promenade and stated its intention to extend the Pilot Program until December 31, 2026, or until the adoption of the Master Plan, whichever is earlier. Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to continue the temporary 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 and 00 block of West Victoria. Council also directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance allowing the continuation of temporary outdoor business facilities in the public right-of-way on the Promenade (500 to 1200 blocks of State Street) as well as the 1300 block of State Street and 00 block of West Victoria, 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.

The proposed Ordinance address both Council directives. The proposed Ordinance builds upon provisions of the ERETO relating to operations and facilities on the Promenade and adds a new Title 31 to the Municipal Code in anticipation of the future need to accommodate additional provisions implementing recommendations of the Master Plan. The proposed Ordinance also implements Council’s action at its August 22, 2023, meeting during which it stated its intention to regularly discuss, evaluate, and direct Pilot Program activities within the Promenade and the Master Plan project area for the duration of the Pilot Program (see Section 4 of the proposed Ordinance). The proposed Ordinance also has provisions relating to participation by the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) and the Access Advisory Committee (AAC). These provisions are contained in Sections 3 and 4 of the Ordinance, which are discussed in more detail below.

The primary operative provisions are contained in Section 2 of the proposed Ordinance, which adds Title 31 to the Municipal Code. Title 31, as proposed, is composed of four chapters.

Chapter 31.10 continues the existing designation of the Promenade as State Street between Victoria Street and Haley Street. This designation was initially established in the ERETO and has been used in other provisions of the Municipal Code, e.g., Sections

9.49.020 and 9.49.110.

Chapter 31.20 addresses vehicular traffic. It continues the existing closure to motor vehicles as well as the existing authority of the City Administrator to adopt regulations and to pilot other traffic patterns and closure configurations in consultation with the Fire Marshal and City Traffic Engineer. Modified traffic patterns may also be authorized on Victoria Street between State and Chapala Streets and on the 1300 block of State Street in consultation with the Fire Marshal and City Traffic Engineer. Additional authorization for operation of shuttle service is included based on Council’s direction at its meeting on August 29, 2023.

Council Agenda Report
Continuing the State Street Promenade Pilot Program, Adding Title 31 to the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, and Update on State Street Interim Operations [Ordinance Introduction] September 26, 2023

Page 3 ends

Chapter 31.30 continues the existing authorization for outdoor business facilities within the Promenade as well as the existing regulations, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. To assist in ADA enforcement, a provision has been added authorizing staff to require an outdoor business facility owner to submit a Certified Access Specialist report demonstrating compliance. Chapter 31.30 authorizes the City Administrator to adopt new regulations and modify existing regulations for outdoor business facilities with the AAC’s approval. Section 3 of the proposed Ordinance provides that the City Administrator will seek the advice of the HLC and AAC regarding outdoor business facility regulations and provides a specific timeframe for that review. Chapter

31.30 also continues existing authorization to abate outdoor business facilities that are subject to two or more notices of violation.

Chapter 31.40 provides that the violations of Title 31 or any of the regulations may be enforced in the same manner as other violations of the Municipal Code. Further, in addition to any other enforcement authority, the provisions governing outdoor business facilities may be enforced by the Public Works Director or employees to whom the Public Works Director has vested enforcement authority.

Section 3 of the proposed Ordinance requires submission of new or amended regulations relating to outdoor business facilities to the HLC and AAC for a report and recommendation. The HLC or AAC will have 60 days to submit their reports. Pilot Program activities relating to operation of the Promenade for transportation purposes, including placement of traffic control devices, lane striping, regulatory signage, use patterns, and the like, are not subject to prior review and may be implemented immediately.

Section 4 of the proposed Ordinance implements Council’s intention to regularly discuss, evaluate, and direct Pilot Program activities. The City Administrator is directed to place an administrative item on a regular agenda on an approximately monthly basis. During those agenda items, the chairpersons of the HLC and AAC will be able to make presentations and recommendations as part of the agenda item, instead of being restricted to the public comment period.

Like the ERETO before it, the proposed Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §§ 15301 (existing facilities); 15303 (construction of small structures), and 14304 (e) minor, temporary uses of land). Section 5 of the proposed Ordinance restates this exemption in the same manner as in the ERETO.

Update on State Street Interim Operations
On August 11, 2023, the State Street Interim Operations Ad Hoc Subcommittee, which is comprised of Councilmembers Kristen Sneddon, Michael Jordan, and Oscar Gutierrez, sent a memorandum to the City Administrator, City Attorney, and Mayor and Council with their recommendations for changes to operations on State Street. At the Council meeting on August 29, 2023, staff provided additional information and input regarding the proposed recommendations. Council directed staff to further pursue the following recommendations:

Council Agenda Report
Continuing the State Street Promenade Pilot Program, Adding Title 31 to the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, and Update on State Street Interim Operations [Ordinance Introduction] September 26, 2023

Page 4 ends

1. Deep Cleaning of the Master Plan project area;

2. Implement Temporary Bike Lanes in the Master Plan project area;

3. Introduce Drop Off/Pick Up Zone at Granada Theatre; and

4. Introduce a Shuttle/People Mover on State Street.

Staff will provide an update on each of the recommendations.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

Administration, maintenance, and operation of the temporary Promenade and Outdoor Business Facility Program within the public right-of-way requires considerable staff time and financial resources. Fiscal Year 2024 maintenance and operational costs for the existing Promenade are estimated to be approximately $550,000. As part of the approved Fiscal Year 2024 budget, Downtown Parking will look to recover approximately $250,000 of the estimated $550,000 to maintain and operate the existing Promenade at its current (Fiscal Year 2023) level. Without the required financial resources or staffing to actively manage the maintenance, operations, and Outdoor Business Facility Program at its current level, Downtown Parking will look to make strategic reductions in Promenade maintenance and operational costs during Fiscal Year 2024. At the same time, the continuation of temporary outdoor dining on the Promenade may result in a slight increase in tax revenues due to expanded restaurant seating capacity.

Budget implications vary depending on Council recommendations regarding State Street Interim Operations. However, most will require funding and a Council-identified funding source to effectuate the recommendation.
