AGENDA DATE: February 6, 2024
TO: Ordinance Committee
FROM: Recreation Division, Parks and Recreation Department City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT: Proposed Municipal Code Amendments Pertaining to Safe Firearm Storage in the City of Santa Barbara
RECOMMENDATION:

That Ordinance Committee consider proposed amendments to an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Title 9 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 9.35 Pertaining to Safe Firearm Storage in the City of Santa Barbara and forward the proposed Ordinance to the City Council for introduction and adoption.

DISCUSSION:

Background
Following several false bomb threats and active shooter calls to local area high schools between September 2022 and January 2023, Santa Barbara Youth Council (Youth Council) requested and received a presentation on March 6, 2023, from the Santa Barbara Chapter of Moms Demand Action, an organization focused on gun violence and the importance of safe firearm storage.

The presentation on March 6th noted that, since 2020, firearm-related injuries became the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. In 2020 alone, there was a 64% increase from 2019 in guns purchased, and a 30% increase in unintentional shooting deaths by children. The cause can be attributed to easier access to firearms due to a combination of school closures during the pandemic and a record high for gun sales during the same period. The presentation cited a 2015 study comparing simulated data with real data for fatalities related to deaths by firearms, with the conclusion that safely storing firearms could eliminate up to 32% of youth gun-related deaths.

On April 8, 2023, the Youth Council hosted the annual Youth Speak Out: Coffee with a Councilmember event. During the question-and-answer style forum, local leaders were Agenda Item No. 2

invited to speak on key issues identified by local teens. Over 30 teens attended, with several teens speaking on growing safety concerns on and off school campuses, citing the February 25, 2020, Santa Barbara Unified School District report that identified a 41% increase in weapon related offenses, primarily locking blade knives in excess of 2.5 inches, no firearms, and some imitation firearms since the 2015-16 school year (3 years).

Following the presentation on gun-related injuries and the importance of safe storage, the Youth Council worked to understand how they could increase gun safety in Santa Barbara. After discussing the topic directly with the Chief of Police and City Councilmember liaisons at the Youth Speak Out, the Youth Council received support in exploring legislation at the local level. The Youth Council identified recent efforts across California and nearby cities to call for safer firearm storage laws and requested a staff presentation on creating ordinances.

On September 18, 2023, the Youth Council received a presentation from Assistant City Attorney, John Doimas, on how ordinances are developed and how the Youth Council could work with City staff to develop a safe firearms storage ordinance. Included in the presentation were similar safe firearm storage ordinances from other California cities including Mountain View, Lafayette, Petaluma, and Goleta, and a recommendation that the Youth Council appoint an Ad Hoc Subcommittee (Subcommittee) to work collaboratively with Parks and Recreation Department and the City Attorney’s Office (staff) to advance an ordinance. On September 25, 2023, the Youth Council acknowledged that passing an ordinance outlining safe firearm storage conditions in vehicles and residences could reduce the risk of firearms in the hands of children and teens, subsequently reducing the risk of intentional or unintentional firearm related injuries or deaths, and unanimously voted to appoint five members to the Subcommittee.

The Subcommittee met two times with staff to receive clarification and direction for drafting the ordinance and used other California ordinances to develop the proposed safe firearm storage ordinance for the City of Santa Barbara.

The draft ordinance specifically addresses safe firearm storage in residences and vehicles that will protect children and teens from accessing weapons and prevent injuries at home as well as protect public health and safety. The Ordinance does not apply to antique permanently disabled firearms. Safe firearm storage is defined in the ordinance as the firearm shall be disabled with a trigger lock and stored in a locked container within a residence or a locked trunk for a vehicle. The Ordinance provides an exception to the storage requirements for peace officers defined under the California Penal Code.

Additionally, the ordinance defines a person’s obligations under California Penal Code Section 25250 to report that a firearm that has been lost or stolen to local authorities within 5 days at the time they knew or reasonably should have known that the firearm had been lost or stolen. Any violation of this ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor unless, at the discretion of the City Attorney, it be charged and prosecuted as an infraction, per Chapter 1.28.010 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code. The penalty for a misdemeanor Council Agenda Report

February 6, 2024

Page 3 ends

is punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000, imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or both such fine and imprisonment, and the penalty for an infraction is punishable by a fine not exceeding $100 for the first violation, a fine not exceeding $200 for a second violation within one year, and a fine not exceeding $250 for each additional violation within one year.

The Ad Hoc Subcommittee presented their recommendations to the full Youth Council on November 13, 2023. The Santa Barbara Police Chief, representatives from Moms Demand Action, community members, parents, teens, and school liaisons all spoke in support of the draft ordinance. The Youth Council voted unanimously to advance the draft ordinance to the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission). The Commission received a presentation on December 13, 2023, and recommended expanding the requirement for the safe storage of firearms for vehicles with no trunk to include disabled by a trigger lock while being locked in a container permanently affixed to the vehicle, and out of sight from the public. The Commission unanimously approved forwarding the proposed code amendments to Municipal Code Section 9 to the Ordinance Committee.

Next Steps
If the proposed changes are approved, the Department will conduct an outreach campaign, including:
 Preparing and disseminating a press release to all local media agencies and through the City’s and Departments social media platforms.
 Partnering with Moms Demand Action to have the Youth Council participate in future free gun lock distribution events.
 Exploring the ability to partner with the Santa Barbara Unified School District to disseminate a notice to families through their social media platform, Parent Square.  Collaborating with the Santa Barbara Police Department and the Santa Barbara Police Activities Youth Leadership Council to have the Youth Council educate parents and the community by hosting teen lead workshops.  Providing a presentation to teen leaders in the community during the annual Youth Council Speak Out event.
 Developing printed flyers to be posted at participating firearm stores in Santa Barbara and Goleta.

MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 9.35

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Title 9 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is amended by adding Chapter 9.35 which reads as follows:

9.35.010 Purpose and Intent.

Gun violence, mass shootings, and firearm related injuries among young people have been rising in the United States. Studies suggest that more than half of Americans have experienced gun violence or know someone close to them who has experienced gun violence. Santa Barbara is no different. In 2020, Santa Barbara Unified School District reported an increased number of weapon related incidents on school campuses.

Unsecured firearms at home have been shown to be correlated with a higher risk of both unintentional and intentional injury by firearm, especially among youth. Safely storing firearms in residences and vehicles will protect children and teens from accessing weapons and prevent injuries at home as well as protect public health and safety.

Recent growth of gun violence in the U.S. has disproportionately affected youth.

In 2023, the Santa Barbara Youth Council named gun violence one of its top issues for youth. After hearing young people’s concerns about gun violence in the community and at school at the Santa Barbara Youth Council: Youth Speak Out, the Youth Council voted Attachment

FROM: Public Works Downtown Team
Engineering Division, Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Amend Street Improvement and Permitting Requirements RECOMMENDATION:

That Ordinance Committee forward to Council for introduction, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Title 22 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code by the Amendment of Chapter 22.44, relating to Street Dedication and Improvement Requirements, Chapter 22.60, relating to Permits for Work on Street and Sidewalks, Chapter 22.32, relating to Building Numbering, Section 22.64.10, relating to Gates Adjacent to Street or Sidewalks, Section 27.08.010, relating to Subdivision Requirements for Streets and Sidewalks, and Section 10.56.010, relating to Obstructions of Sidewalks, and by the addition of Chapter 22.46 relating to Acquisition of Property for Public Improvements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends updating Title 22 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) to implement the Circulation Element of the City of Santa Barbara (City) General Plan, the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP), and the Pedestrian Master Plan (PMP) by establishing updated requirements for Public Right-of-Way (PROW) dedications and improvements in association with new construction on private property.

Chapter 22.44: Street Dedication and Improvement for Building Permits Chapter 22.44 of the SBMC establishes street dedication and improvement requirements for projects requiring building permits. Staff recommends revisions to Chapter 22.44 to implement the Circulation Element of the City General Plan, the BMP, and the PMP by establishing updated requirements for dedication and improvement of the Public Rightof-Way (PROW) in connection with the construction or reconstruction of buildings for which a building permit is required.

Page 2 ends

The recommended updates to Chapter 22.44 are summarized below:
 Addition of Section 22.44.005, Purpose and Definitions. The purpose of Chapter 22.44 is to implement the Circulation Element of the General Plan, the BMP, and the PMP by establishing requirements for dedication and improvement of the PROW in connection with the construction or reconstruction of buildings for which a building permit is required. The provisions in Chapter 22.44 are supplemental to the Subdivision Ordinance (Title 27) or as a condition of a development permit or approval under Titles 28 or 30.

This section also defines “New Main Building” as any new main building, substantial redevelopment of an existing main building, or addition greater than 500 square feet to an existing main building, that requires a building permit and for which construction cost exceeds $100,000 (as determined by building permit valuation).
 Definition of the sidewalk corridor. The addition of Table 22.44.080.A defines the sidewalk corridor narratively and graphically, including updated improvement standards consistent with the PMP. In addition to implementing the PMP, this change simplifies and clarifies public improvement standards.  Definition of projects exempt from PROW dedication and improvement requirements. Section 22.44.020 outlines which projects are exempt from dedication and improvement of the PROW. Originally, this chapter exempted single-family and two-family developments, additions, and accessory buildings.

The proposed changes to this section exempt:
o Structures other than a new main building.
o Residential buildings located on a lot that does not adjoin a neighboring property with existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk.

This section also defines reasons for which the City Engineer may waive the requirement for construction of sidewalk improvements.
 Definition of the City Engineer’s authority for waiving requirements. Defining what requirements the City Engineer can waive for the construction of sidewalk improvements.
 Street lighting requirements. Section 22.44.010 requires new or altered streetlights in conjunction with permits issued for a new main building on a lot located at the corner of an intersection, on a lot that makes up 50% or more of the frontage of a block, or on lots with at least 100 feet of street frontage. This requirement does not apply to lots with two or fewer residential units, and may be waived if the Public Works Director determines that existing streetlights are adequate for public safety, or because of the circumstances of the surrounding neighborhood.

Recommended updates to Acquisition of Property for Public Works Projects (Chapter

22.46), Streets and Sidewalks (Chapter 22.60), and Numbering Buildings (Chapter 22.32) include:
 Defining staff roles and delegation of authority for reviewing and permitting street dedications and improvements as well as processing financial transactions/ securities and acquisitions.
 Removing antiquated language with the intent to make the chapters easier to understand and interpret for City Staff, the public, and developers.

Chapter 10.56: Impounding Property Obstructing Streets
Chapter 10.56 addresses obstructions to sidewalks. Staff recommends updating Section

10.56.010 to allow the Public Works Department to immediately remove or impound any items interfering with the pedestrian through zone (walking area) of a sidewalk.

All new ordinance text is underlined in the Attachment. Non-applicable or antiquated language is strike-through text.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The proposed changes will not have a significant financial impact on the City, staff resources, or maintenance budgets.

SUSTAINABILITY, EQUITY, AND SAFETY IMPACT:

Updates to the improvement standards to the sidewalk corridor in Chapter 22.44 are consistent with the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan, the PMP, BMP, and Council’s Santa Barbara Vision Zero Strategy (Vision Zero). The sidewalk improvement standards provide a sustainable mode choice for residents and visitors, which is consistent with the comprehensive goal and vision of the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which states, “While sustaining or increasing economic vitality and quality of life, Santa Barbara should be a city in which alternative forms of transportation and mobility are so available and attractive that use of an automobile is a choice, not a necessity.”
The sidewalk improvement standards are consistent with the PMP’s pedestrian design guidelines, which will result in development projects providing pedestrian environments that are attractive, functional, and accessible to all people.

Finally, the sidewalk improvement standards are consistent with Vision Zero, which aims to eliminate severe injuries and fatalities on City streets. Providing sidewalk improvements provides a safe, predictable, and comfortable pedestrian environment.

On larger areas of the PROW, the sidewalk improvement standards provide opportunities for additional street trees. Street trees help provide character, shade, and have many Ordinance Committee Agenda Report

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: February 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Administration, Library
SUBJECT: Purchase Order to Farber Specialty Vehicles for a New Library on the Go Vehicle
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council find it in the best interest of the City to waive the formal bidding requirements and authorize the Library Director to execute a Purchase Order to Farber Specialty Vehicles in the amount of $324,645 for a new Library on the Go vehicle.

DISCUSSION:

A new Library on the Go vehicle would allow the Library to support additional outreach opportunities for youth and families, including Stay and Play at off-site locations, school age programming at schools and afterschool program sites, and family STEAM activities in public parks. This will increase the Library’s reach in neighborhoods that do not have a library branch and other underserved areas of the community in order to make programs more accessible. This vehicle will supplement the Library’s existing Library on the Go van, which, in addition to supporting youth programming, currently provides outreach services at Senior Centers and Neighborhood Navigation Centers. The Library’s existing Library on the Go van was previously purchased from Farber Specialty Vehicles in 2020.

The original plan for the Library’s second Library on the Go vehicle was to contract with an in-state vendor and rely on a relatively new, environmentally-friendly company – Phoenix Motorcars Leasing LCC (Phoenix Motorcars). In March 2022, the Library placed an order with Phoenix Motorcars for a new fully-electric Library on the Go van using funds from a Stronger Together Grant awarded to the Library Department by the California State Library. Working with Phoenix Motorcars was a recommendation from the Library’s grant monitor from the State Library. Unfortunately, Library staff discovered multiple safety and quality concerns after visiting Sacramento Public Library and reviewing their recently purchased Phoenix Motorcar Library Vehicle. In addition, Phoenix Motorcars was repeatedly unable to complete work by grant deadlines. The Library has therefore issued a stop work order and requested the termination of the existing purchase order.

Council Agenda Report
Purchase Order to Farber Specialty Vehicles for a New Library on the Go Vehicle February 6, 2024

Page 2 ends

The Library recommends that Council find it in the best interest of the City to waive the formal bidding requirements pursuant to Santa Barbraa Municipal Code sec. 4.52.070.L, and authorize the Library Director to execute a Purchase Order to Farber Specialty Vehicles (Farber) in the amount of $324,645 for a new Library on the Go vehicle. Because the Library and Farber have worked together previously, the Library will be able to secure a contract promptly after Council’s approval. Farber’s timeline is 18 months preproduction and 4 - 6 months of active production for a vehicle that meets the Library’s needs. This is critical in order to meet the Stronger Together Grant expenditure deadline.

The Library has had to request multiple extensions for Phoenix Motorcars already and there is simply not enough time to research a new model and service practices within the already-extended grant deadline. Therefore, the City will likely lose the $230,000 in Stronger Together Grant funds if Council does not find it is in the best interest of the City to contract with Farber. It is also of note that Farber can customize a Sprinter van with a Volta battery for Library use, helping the Library meet its goal of purchasing an environmentally-friendly vehicle and eliminating the need for a gas generator at van stops.

When the Library inquired about a completely electric vehicle, Farber staff communicated that the payload of an eSprinter would not safely cover the weight of books, bookcarts, passengers, an electric lift, and all needed equipment. The payload of an electric Sprinter chassis is 800 lbs less than a diesal Sprinter. Logistically, a Sprinter vehicle used as a bookhauler cannot safely be an electric vehicle with current available technololgy.

However, Library staff have determined that the volta battery Sprinter model is ideal for safe driving by staff, manueverability, and flexibility in fitting into a variety of sites, including the Eastside Library parking lot. Lastly, in terms of budget and staff workflows, it would be efficient to have two vehicles that are identitical in terms of maintenance and repair. It is for all of these reasons that Library staff propose that Council allows time for electric vehicle technology to improve and move forward with Farber at this time. When it is time to replace the first Library of the Go vehicle in 5 - 10 years, the Library will reevaluate completely electric options.

The Phoenix Motorcars timeline had already been extended multiple times, and Library staff were concerned that Phoenix Motorcars would be able to provide a finished vehicle by the grant deadline. Waiting until mid-2025 for a safe and reliable vehicle outweighs the possibility of canceling regular stops for frequent maintenance issues or the potential for staff or public injury.

The existing Library on the Go vehicle from Farber that is currently owned by the Library has exceeded all expectations and has become the heart of the Library’s outreach initiatives. The cost of $324,645 was determined to be fair and reasonable by comparing rates to rates charged for comparable products as well as Farber offering contract pricing per the national OMNIA Partners cooperative.

Council Agenda Report
Purchase Order to Farber Specialty Vehicles for a New Library on the Go Vehicle February 6, 2024

Page 3 ends

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The total cost for the new Library on the Go vehicle from Farber Specialty Vehicles is $324,645. Adequate expenditure appropriations exist in the Library Miscellaneous Grants Fund using Stronger Together Grant funds from the California State Library and a donation from the Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Fleet and Sustainability & Resilience staff have reviewed this non Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) purchase and are supportive of a waiver under the Cities purchasing policy. The only ZEV available in this classification/unique use does not have a consistent and local maintenance record. Under the California Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) rules, a ZEV purchase will be required to offset this vehicle. There should be a purchase this year to offset this vehicle. Separately the City is planning to build a garage to house the van, with a plan to make it “charge ready” so that when this vehicle ends its useful life the infrastructure to support a ZEV or other sustainable initiatives is generally ready.

February 6, 2024

The City ZEV Policy will complement the City’s compliance with the state mandates under ACF. As part of the ACF rules, the City has three primary topics to discuss:

1. Confirming the use of the standard acquisition requirement rather than the fleet composition requirement.

2. Determine which Departments and public services would fall under the 25 percent emergency vehicle exemption.

3. Planning and installing vehicle charging stations to support compliance with the regulation.

Standard Acquisition Compliance
The City will use the standard acquisition requirement when procuring ZEVs as it is specifically for local agencies, and Staff’s analysis indicates the City can continue to provide public services when purchasing half of qualifying vehicles as ZEVs. Further, this requirement allows the City to replace vehicles when they are due for replacement rather than replacing a still-functioning vehicle with a ZEV in order to just be a ZEV.

Emergency Vehicle Exemption
The ACF regulation includes an exemption for emergency vehicles to allow them to be non-ZEVs for emergency response capabilities. The Fleet Equipment List (Attachment 3) indicates the City has a total of 396 vehicles, with 35 vehicles defined as an emergency vehicle. These vehicles are within the Fire, Airport, Harbor Patrol, and Police Departments. City staff have determined another 20 vehicles are emergency vehicles in areas of Streets, Wastewater, Water, and Forestry. That leaves another 44 vehicles potentially available for the emergency vehicle exemption if they meet CARB’s definition.

The list indicates that the areas of Streets, Wastewater, and Water have the greatest number of trucks that will be impacted by the new rule. This is generally in the “Ford F250” and greater model trucks. While some of these vehicles can qualify for the exemption, there is a strong likelihood that the City will run out of exemptions. A review of replacements with ZEVs or not will need to be done on a case-by-case basis.

Vehicle Charging Stations
While some vehicle-charging needs can be met with “one-off” charging stations, the need for charging vehicles will continue to increase at City-owned locations such as the corporate yard at 630 Garden Street. In particular, “fast chargers” will impact the City’s facilities’ existing electrical systems and require individual projects to complete, which will most likely be grant-funded. The possibility exists that as part of maintaining both ZEVs and gasoline-fueled vehicles, the City will run out of space to keep the City’s Fleet maintained and fueled.

Reporting
An annual report is due to CARB by April 1, 2024. The regulation also requires that a report must also be submitted to CARB within 30 days of adding or removing vehicles Council Agenda Report

from the Fleet. The reports are to ensure compliance and will be helpful to the City in tracking how we are progressing with our own goals.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

It is anticipated that vehicle procurement costs, staff resources, and operational impacts will be significant starting in Fiscal Year 2026. ZEV costs may vary in the long term when balancing acquisition, maintenance, and fueling. In the short term, ZEVs are more expensive to acquire and set up charging. A Ford F-150 retail price is currently $35,000 and its equivalent ZEV, the Ford F-150 Lighting is $50,000. It should also be noted that ZEVs are currently not coming in standard trims for municipal fleets. The base options and technology are driving up repair costs and while helpful or nice to have, are not always a necessity.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The City’s fleet of on-road vehicles is the largest Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emitter of any of the City’s municipal operations. Decarbonizing the City’s municipal fleet offers the opportunity to eliminate GHG emissions from the City’s highest emitting municipal operation and to lead by example before the community.

The City has already been a leader in incorporating ZEVs into the fleet and installing electric vehicle chargers. The City’s Zero Emission Vehicle Policy further solidifies this leadership by creating a clear process and plan to quickly decarbonize the City’s fleet across all departments, while maintaining functionality and fiscal responsibility.

ACF compliance will augment the existing purchasing policy by accelerating the inventory of medium & heavy-duty ZEVs in the City’s fleet.

outreach notifications. To achieve economy of scale, the Project also includes several small grant-funded projects that will construct new crosswalks, rapid flashing beacons, multiuse paths, and street lighting.

Staff recommends approval of the construction contract with Granite Construction, Inc. (Granite) and a contract for construction support services, including inspection and material testing, with Flowers & Associates, Inc. (Flowers) to ensure the successful delivery of this Project.

DISCUSSION:

The Fiscal Year 2024B Pavement Maintenance Project consists of the annual pavement maintenance overlay contract plus several small grant-funded projects listed below:
 Las Positas Road and Stanley Drive Project
 Santa Barbara Junior High Multiuse Path Project
 Cliff Drive at Alan Road Project
 San Andres Street at Sola Street Project, and
 San Andres Street at Victoria and Anapamu Streets Project.

In addition, the Project includes the repaving of City Parking Lot 5. Each individual project was planned and designed separately. Combing the projects increases City staff efficiency and realizes economies of scale in construction under with the significantly larger annual pavement maintenance. The Project will address high-priority safety and pavement maintenance needs throughout the City while leveraging grant funds. See Attachment – Location Map for all project locations.

Fiscal Year 2024B Pavement Maintenance Project
The pavement maintenance portion of the Project consists of grinding off deteriorated asphalt pavement and overlaying it with new asphalt, replacing sidewalk, installing ADAcompliant sidewalk access ramps, traffic signals upgrades, adding new traffic markings including crosswalks, and concrete repair.

Prior to construction activity in a particular area, staff will send a notification to residents and property owners with detailed information about the upcoming work in their neighborhood. The contractor is required to perform door-to-door outreach with all businesses directly affected by the work at a minimum of two weeks prior to the scheduled work. In addition, the contractor is required to deliver door hangers to each property adjacent to the work area 72 hours in advance of work commencement to notify residents of the planned schedule. The contractor will post No Parking signs 72 hours in advance of work commencement.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

In 2017, the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) fell below the City’s policy to maintain the minimum average rating of 60 or better. Although the PCI has consistently continued to increase each year since the passing of Measure C, more expensive pavement rehabilitation treatments will continue to be required until the PCI reaches 70, when less expensive preventative maintenance treatments will be effective for the majority of the City’s street network. The City’s street network is currently rated an average PCI index value of 66. In order to continue the PCI’s upward trend, a minimum annual commitment of $20 million, adjusted annual for inflation, is required.

The pavement maintenance portion of the Project is primarily funded by Measure C with additional funding coming from Measure A, Utility Users’ Tax, and State Gas Taxes. The Lot 5 Improvement Project is funded in the Pavement Surface and Paseo Maintenance Project in the Downtown Parking Capital Fund.

With the recommended appropriations (see Resolution), there will be sufficient expenditure appropriations in the various Streets Capital Program Funds and Downtown Council Agenda Report

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: February 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: Lease Agreement for 621 Chapala Street for a Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute an office Lease Agreement with 621 Partners LLC, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney, for the property located at 621 Chapala Street for the proposed use as a Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center for individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Santa Barbara is proposing to enter into a three-year lease agreement for the property located at 621 Chapala Street for the purpose of a Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center (Center) for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in the City of Santa Barbara.

DISCUSSION:

As of the 2023 Point-in-Time Count, there is an estimated 787 people experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Barbara of which 206 people are sleeping outdoors and another 206 people are living in their vehicles. Although this represents a decrease from the year prior and an overall trend downward since 2020, there continues to be a significant demand for day-to-day basic needs and supportive services for our unhoused population.

Moreover, there are approximately 375 individuals staying in emergency shelters on any given night, but there is limited capacity for these facilities to remain open during the day for overnight guests. Therefore, the City’s unhoused population frequently resides in our public parks, beaches, near public buildings, as well as outside of businesses in the economic corridors. This is especially challenging during inclement weather when Agenda Item No. 9
File Code No. 660.04

expanded warming centers are only open in the evening and close in the early morning hours.

The Center will provide a “one-stop-shop” for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity to access support and services with the goal of assisting them to become document ready and secure housing. These services will include documentation readiness (e.g. acquiring birth certificate, driver’s license, Social Security card), case management, workforce development and life skills building, job search assistance, housing referrals, health care and mental health support. By providing these services in a safe and welcoming environment, the Center will help individuals take steps toward finding and successfully remaining in stable housing.

The Center will be unique in that it will provide a comprehensive range of services in a single, centralized location with the explicit goal of helping individuals find housing. By eliminating the need for clients to navigate multiple service providers, the Center will mitigate barriers that exist to access support and housing. Additionally, the Center will offer these services at consistent hours five days per week with additional client meetings offered by appointment outside of these hours. This will eliminate the need for individuals to travel to different sites on different days/times of the week to access the various services that they need.

The Center will be building on the success of the Neighborhood Navigation Centers (NNCs) that are operating in three different locations on three separate days during the week. With the Center at a more dignified location, the NNCs at Alameda Park and the Commuter Lot will wind down and providers will then be on a rotating schedule at the physical site. The NNC will continue to operate at the Rescue Mission on Wednesdays to be accessible to our vulnerable population on the Lower Eastside of Santa Barbara.

Goals for the Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center The Center will be fully managed by a local nonprofit service provider, Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation (SB ACT), and be supported by key service provider partners that have a proven track record of positive outcomes in reducing homelessness. It will also build on the strong existing network of service providers who currently operate at the NNCs. The specific objectives to be achieved at the Center are as follows:
(1) To reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Barbara. All service providers at the Center will have a housing-oriented approach to the services provided. Staff and service providers will receive training in motivational interviewing for the purpose of encouraging clients toward participating in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and moving toward housing goals.

(2) To address the diversity of needs of people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in the City of Santa Barbara. People experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity are often in need of basic necessities that can prohibit them from moving forward with their housing goals. In addition to housing-specific resources, the Center will meet basic needs through meal and food donations in partnership with faith communities and community volunteers, hygiene product donations, restroom access, and essential document storage for documents such as birth certificates and Social Security cards. All these relief services will be provided with the understanding that the purpose of these services is to assist individuals in their pursuit of housing goals and their general welfare. (3) To offer case management and housing navigation services to facilitate referrals to interim housing and permanent housing units. The Center will offer full-time onsite case management to facilitate HMIS intakes and case management for individuals who are ready to actively pursue housing goals. The case manager will be available during Center hours and/or by appointment. (4) To offer resume and interview skill-building services, job search, professional clothing donation, and hygiene for job interviews, in pursuit of gainful employment. The Center will designate office space for Santa Barbara Public Library staff to offer workforce development services and computer access as needed for job searches and interviews. The Center will also offer priority showers by appointment, resume printing services, and professional clothing donation to prepare individuals for scheduled job interviews. (5) To utilize private office space for service provider partners to meet with clients and support physical and mental health care. The Center will offer flexible office space for service providers to utilize full-time for onsite service provision.
(6) To offer workshops and group sessions that align with the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The Center’s conference space will be utilized for group meetings and workshops on topics such as personal budgeting, health and nutrition, mental health counseling, sobriety groups, etc. (7) To facilitate workshops and training opportunities for service provider partners to support their professional development. The Center’s conference space will also be utilized for professional development opportunities including trainings on topics such as de-escalation, crisis intervention, overdose prevention, and motivational interviewing.
(8) To host group meetings for service providers to support movement towards community-wide homelessness and housing goals. The Center’s conference space will be utilized for group meetings including neighborhood outreach coordination meetings, collaborative steering committee meetings, collaborative Council Agenda Report

working groups, and more in support of the ACT on Homelessness Collaborative that is working to reduce homelessness and its impacts in southern Santa Barbara County.
(9) To address the needs for a daytime location during inclement weather and other emergencies. The Center’s main service area will serve as a location to receive emergency information and to support individuals displaced by inclement weather during the daytime hours to supplement when the Freedom Warming Centers are activated during the evening hours.

Neighborhood Engagement and Mitigation Measures
City staff, in partnership with SB ACT, have actively engaged with the neighborhood about this proposal, including residents and business owners in the area surrounding the property as well as throughout the downtown corridor. This outreach will continue as we are committed to building strong relationships and being responsive to any questions or concerns.

The Center will take several proactive steps to minimize impacts to the surrounding neighborhood, including to ensure that all outdoor activities (i.e. clients entering and exiting the building) are regulated and monitored by staff to minimize noise impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as to ensure that large client items (e.g. backpacks, carts) are temporarily and securely stored in a locked room in the building to prevent any visual impacts to the exterior of the building.

SB ACT will also be conducting regular outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness in the surrounding neighborhood to encourage engagement with service providers at the Center and to discourage loitering, as well as weekly “block walks” to pick up any neighborhood litter, remove any vandalism, and address illegal dumping on public property.

In addition to hiring a private security firm to conduct nightly exterior patrols during the evening and overnight hours, SB ACT will also be offering a phone line to community members to call with questions or concerns.

Conditional Use Permit
Under the City’s new zoning code (Santa Barbara Municipal Code Title 30), the use of the property as a Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center is considered a “Social Services Facility,” and is allowed subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission (or City Council on appeal.) This application has been submitted to the Community Development Department and should go before the Planning Commission in April. Staff is not proposing any changes to the exterior or interior of the space beyond adjusting cubicles to create more open space on the first floor.

While there is no guarantee that the CUP will be approved, City staff would like to move forward with the Lease Agreement to begin utilization of the property as office space. This will enable coordination and collaboration among service providers that will in turn be very positive for client engagement and outcomes. In the event the CUP were not approved for use as a Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center, staff still believes that the space would be useful in addressing homelessness by serving as a “central hub” for bringing together a diverse network of providers to share information and resources, strengthening organizational partnerships, and facilitating provider trainings, professional development opportunities, as well as ACT on Homelessness Collaborative meetings.

BUDGET / FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The proposed Lease Agreement has an initial term of three years with the option to extend the Lease on the same terms and conditions for another three-year term.

A summary of the lease can be found below:

Address: 621 Chapala Street (6,376 square feet)
Base rent: $2.19/sf ($14,000 per month)
Annual rent
adjustment: 4% increase annually
NNN/CAM Initial Year $0.38/sf
Term: Initial term expires February 28, 2027
Initial costs will be addressed by the approved Fiscal Year 2024 Measure C expenditure allocation of $500,000 for Homelessness Response. This use of funds is consistent with the recently approved City Council and Citizens’ Oversight Committee priority use of Measure C funds which identified addressing homelessness by prioritizing housing and facilities. The Fiscal Year 2024 costs for the Lease Agreement are as follows:

Base Rent: $168,000
Common Area
Operating Expenses: $29,076
Security Deposit: $16,423
Total: $213,499
The programmatic operating expenses for the Daytime Navigation and Workforce Development Center will be addressed in separate agreements with SB ACT and City Net and will be forthcoming for review by City Council. Though the City of Santa Barbara will be making a significant contribution to daily operating expenses through existing funding sources to address homelessness (e.g. PLHA and HOME-ARP), this investment Council Agenda Report

will also be matched by philanthropic contributions. In addition, total costs will be offset as service providers sublease office space on the second floor of the property. City staff and SB ACT will be working together to identify providers that are working to address homelessness and behavioral health to utilize these office spaces.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has determined that the project qualifies for an exemption from further environmental review under Section 15303 [New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures] of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15303 allows for the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The exemption includes office or similar structures not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 10,000 square feet in the floor area, on sites zoned for such use where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive.

Staff has reviewed the proposal and site conditions and has determined that the project complies with all conditions of this exemption. Based on review of the project, there would be no significant risk project-specific or cumulative impact on the environment due to unusual circumstances, the project does not have the potential to damage scenic highways or historic resources, and the project site is not identified as a hazardous waste site. None of the exceptions to the exemption are under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.
