CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
ORDINANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 15, 2024
TO: Ordinance Committee
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
Santa Barbara Police Department
SUBJECT: Amending Chapter 10.52 of the Municipal Code Regarding Bicycles and E-Conveyances
RECOMMENDATION:
That Ordinance Committee consider proposed amendments to Chapter 10.52 of the Municipal Code regarding bicycles and e-conveyances, and forward the Ordinance amendment to the City Council for introduction and adoption.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) in its current state has omissions when it comes to codifying safety regulations for bicycles and electronic conveyances such as electric bikes, scooters etc. throughout the City. First, the SBMC is lacking definitions to even be able to enforce on e-conveyances. Currently, the SBMC does not refer to electronic bicycles when it comes to riding, nor does the SBMC differentiate between traditional bicycles and electronic bicycles. Another problematic issue is that enforcement language for safety regulations is not contained in one chapter, which provides better transparency and clarity for the public. Finally, the SBMC doesn’t capture all the necessary safety issues when it comes to operating these modes of transportation nor does it provide various remedies to be able to properly address violations. To that point, the amendments to the Ordinance allow enforcement to be done through administrative citations, which allows for more interaction between the City and the violator that could include an educational component versus a traffic citation issued under the California Vehicle Code (CVC), which is often dismissed by the courts due to the overload of matters before it.
On March 7, 2023, the prior City Administrator authorized a set of rules and regulations for the safe use of bicycles, and users of other wheeled devices within the closed portion of State Street Promenade. While these regulations, authorized under emergency Ordinance 5944, provided some regulations similar to the proposed Ordinance Agenda Item No. 1
File Code No. 120.03
Ordinance Committee Report
Amending Chapter 10.52 of the Municipal Code Regarding Bicycles and E-Conveyances October 15, 2024
amendments being reviewed today, codifying such regulations in the SBMC is a better option for several reasons. One reason is that the SBMC applies to the entire City.
Another reason is devoting an entire chapter to such regulations affords the option of several enforcement remedies, which will be discussed further in this report. Finally, as mentioned before, codifying such regulations under one chapter provides better clarity for the public as well as for those in charge of enforcing the Ordinance, which will be the Santa Barbara Police Department (SBPD). There will be a Municipal Code section to cite, which is publicly available online and easier to follow. Therefore, staff also recommends repealing the rules and regulations for State Street if and when the Ordinance becomes effective.
The proposed amendments to Chapter 10.52 were also developed in response to increased communication received from individuals expressing concern for public safety with the operation of bicycles and e-conveyances. The proposed amendments to the SBMC, coupled with raising awareness and education from these regulations is intended to help address the concerns raised by the public.
In preparation for working on these amendments, the SBPD researched and contacted other jurisdictions on what they were doing as Santa Barbara is not alone in trying to address this issue. In its outreach, SBPD found that the City of Huntington Beach had the most success through its ordinance update to improve safety regarding the operations of bicycles and e-conveyances. Consequently, many of the amendments to this Ordinance are modeled after Huntington Beach based on their success in curbing the negative impacts of unsafe operations.
For example, Huntington Beach has a provision in their ordinance that allows for officers to impound bicycles and electronic bicycles from underaged riders who are operating in an unsafe manner and to then return the bikes to their parents while also providing due process. Having a similar section in our Ordinance allows SBPD to have a conversation with parents/guardians as they retrieve the bicycle or e-conveyance about operating an e-bike safely, especially since state law limits the ability for law enforcement to have those conversations with juveniles. In addition, this provision hopes to curb the potential of any collisions or injuries that are related to rider inexperience.
Amendments to Chapter 10.52
The proposed amendments to Chapter 10.52 serve to clarify that all regulations are applicable not only to bicycles but electric bicycles, e-conveyances, motorized bicycles etc. throughout the City.
Ordinance Committee Report
Amending Chapter 10.52 of the Municipal Code Regarding Bicycles and E-Conveyances October 15, 2024
The following is a list summarizing some of the significant proposed amendments to the Ordinance:
The amendments provide definitions for bicycles, electric bicycles, motorized bicycles, motorized scooters, e-conveyances, and electric skateboards, often cross-referencing their counterpart definitions in the California Vehicle Code (CVC).
Section 10.52.020 defines what constitutes operating in an unsafe manner and provides examples of unsafe ridership behaviors. This section is applicable to any public street, public right of away, sidewalk, bicycle path, lane, or trail. Included in the examples is performing any acrobatics, tricks, wheelies, or stunts on a public street, public right of way, bicycle path, lane, or trail. Requires riders to use bike lanes where possible, and on streets without bike lanes, to ride close to the right curb or edge of roadway. Requires riders to ride in single file, and not more than two abreast except on paths or parts of a roadway set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles. Reaffirms requirements to always yield to pedestrians when emerging from an alley, driveway, bicycle path, building or otherwise approaching upon a sidewalk or sidewalk area.
Reaffirms the requirement to not ride a bicycle or electric bicycle on any sidewalk except on a driveway.
Requires wearing of properly strapped helmets for all riders under 18 years of age and that all bicycles or electric bicycles have reflectors affixed to both the front and back wheels and on the rear of the bike.
Prohibits the operation of a bicycle or electric bicycle on a roadway unless it is equipped with a brake that will enable the operator to make one braked wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
Stipulates that any violation of the Ordinance is punishable as an administrative citation with the fine not exceeding $100 for the first violation, $200 for a second violation, and $500 for each additional violation within a one-year period. Provides for the impoundment of a juvenile’s bicycles for operating in an unsafe manner, which requires a parent or other guardian to retrieve the bicycle from the Police Department and the payment of an impound fee.
Affords due process to challenge any administrative citation or fee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no known fiscal impact associated with the amendments to this Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15061(b)(3) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Sustainability & Resilience Department
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution in Support of Proposition 4 – The Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 [Resolution]
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Supporting Proposition 4 – the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024.
DISCUSSION:
Proposition 4, also known as the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024, is a $10 billion bond measure designed to address several critical environmental and public safety challenges facing California, including ensuring safe drinking water, preventing and mitigating wildfires, adapting to coastal and flooding hazards, preparing for drought conditions, and improving air quality.
The proposition is on the November 5th ballot.
The funds from this bond measure would be allocated as follows:
Category Funding Amount
Water $3.8 Billion
Wildfire Preparedness and Forest
Resilience
$1.5 Billion
Coastal Resilience $1.2 Billion
Extreme Heat $450 Million
Biodiversity Protection $1.2 Billion

Council Agenda Report
Adoption of a Resolution in Support of Proposition 4 – The Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 [Resolution] October 15, 2024
Proposition 4 is closely aligned with the City of Santa Barbara’s adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan and contains dedicated funding streams to a variety of City priorities including coastal resilience and sea level rise adaptation; stormwater and flooding mitigation; watershed management and protection; wildfire protection; and clean energy infrastructure.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City’s budget by adopting this resolution. However, if Proposition 4 is approved by voters, the City could potentially benefit from state funding for local projects that align with the goals of the bond measure.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change requires significant investment by local governments. Funding such as would result from Proposition 4 would significantly help California jurisdictions, like Santa Barbara, implement much needed climate action strategies.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA BARBARA SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 4 - THE
SAFE DRINKING WATER, WILDFIRE PREVENTION,
DROUGHT PREPAREDNESS, AND CLEAN AIR BOND ACT
OF 2024
WHEREAS, California faces devastating wildfires, vulnerable drinking water supplies, extreme summer heat, and other major threats from a changing climate; WHEREAS, California cities are at the forefront of these climate challenges impacting community health, safety, and infrastructure;
WHEREAS, recent California wildfires have burned two million acres, released toxic smoke into our air, and polluted drinking water supplies, with wildfires between 2008- 2018 causing up to $456 billion in damages across California; WHEREAS, extreme heat took the lives of several hundred Californians, led to thousands of hospitalizations and emergency room visits, and caused $7.7 billion worth of economic damages between 2013-2022;
WHEREAS, Climate resiliency and disaster preparedness are among the League of California Cities’ (“Cal Cities”) and its memberships’ top advocacy priorities for 2024; WHEREAS, Cal Cities and its member cities advocate for necessary resources to improve community and infrastructure resiliency;
WHEREAS, Proposition 4, also known as the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024, is a $10 billion bond measure designed to address several critical environmental and public safety challenges facing California, including ensuring safe drinking water, preventing and mitigating wildfires, adapting to coastal and flooding hazards, preparing for drought conditions, and improving air quality;
WHEREAS, the $10 billion of investments included in Proposition 4 aim to help communities avoid and recover from the impacts of wildfire, flood, drought, extreme heat, or other climate-related events, as well as to help restore and protect natural systems experiencing such impacts;
WHEREAS, Santa Barbara is already seeing the impacts of a changing climate and the result of investing in smart planning and action to better manage forests to reduce the risk of fires or to restore lands along rivers that can absorb floodwaters is proven to be costeffective, with a recent study finding that for every dollar invested to reduce our risk from disasters before they occur, we save roughly seven dollars in emergency response and clean-up.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA THAT the Council on behalf of the City of Santa Barbara supports Proposition 4 on the November 2024 ballot to prevent devastating wildfires and smoke; provide safe, reliable drinking water and boost water supplies for all; protect California’s iconic forests, mountains, rivers, and coasts; and ensure all Californians have access to clean water and healthy, resilient communities.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 15, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Certified Used Vehicles from Dealerships RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the purchase of used vehicles from dealerships to support state regulatory compliance and provide additional options for reliable and cost-effective vehicle replacements for the City of Santa Barbara.
DISCUSSION:
Background on Division
The Public Works Operations Division (Division) manages 480 vehicles essential for municipal services. To ensure the efficient and safe operation for the City of Santa Barbara (City) services, the Division periodically updates and replaces vehicles and equipment that have reached the end of their useful life cycle or are no longer costeffective to maintain.
Regulatory and Industry Changes
California Executive Order N-79-20 requires 100 percent of sales of new passenger cars and trucks to be zero-emission by 2035, and 100 percent of medium-and heavy-duty trucks by 2045.
Vehicle inventory is low, and demand is high, causing missed opportunities for new vehicle purchases. The Division is continuing to encounter significant purchasing challenges due to regulatory changes, supply chain delays, and order cancellations resulting from the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the automotive industry.
Cooperative purchasing agreements, previously used to obtain discounted fleet vehicles, are no longer effective due to increased pricing and reduced order priority.
Agenda Item No. 7
File Code No. 530.01
Council Agenda Report
Authorization to Purchase Certified Used Vehicles from Dealerships October 15, 2024
Proposal
That Council authorize the purchase of used, low-mileage vehicles no older than three years old, with fewer than 15,000 miles. Vehicles will be purchased with extended warranties and will meet a fair market value range.
This approach will:
1. Enhance Compliance: Allow for purchasing of lower-cost zero-emission vehicles to help achieve goals outlined in Executive Order N-79-20.
2. Increase Replacement Options: Provide a purchasing option when inventory of new vehicles is low.
3. Reduced Cost: Lower procurement costs compared to new vehicles and assists with purchasing replacement vehicles that are underfunded.
This procurement initiative aims to meet state regulatory policies while providing costeffective vehicle replacement options. The City is not required to purchase used vehicles; however, this is an alternative purchasing option.
This action will support the City’s transition to zero-emission vehicles, optimize vehicle procurement, and ensure the City is well-equipped with the necessary transportation resources. The Division will continue to monitor maintenance costs to ensure there are no increased costs on used-vehicle purchases.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
This purchasing method offers savings of 30-50 percent on vehicle replacements while maintaining reliability, safety, City standards, and furthers the City’s green fleet zeroemission program in a competitive and cost-effective manner.
Current examples include:
1) Chevrolet Bolt – 37 percent savings
NEW 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV: $34,500 (with tax)
USED 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV (with 6,700 miles): $21,740 (with tax) The approved annual Fleet Replacement Fund Budget will fund used-vehicle purchases the same way it funds new-vehicle purchases. The expenditures for used vehicles will net immediate short and long-term fiscal savings.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Fleet Replacement Fund Budget in Fiscal Year 2025 to accommodate procurement of used vehicles. Staff will include expenditure appropriations for fleet purchases in Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 in the annual budget process.
Council Agenda Report
Authorization to Purchase Certified Used Vehicles from Dealerships October 15, 2024
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The recommended authorization would enhance the City’s compliance with California Executive Order N-79-20, supporting its financial capacity to convert its fleet to reliable zero-emission and alternatively fueled vehicles in a competitive and cost-effective manner.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The authorization to directly negotiate with vendors for fleet-related purchases and to standardize equipment manufactures in Fiscal Years 2025 through 2027 falls outside of the definition of a “Project” under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15378 (b)(5) as administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct physical changes in the environment are not subject to CEQA environmental review. This authorization will not result in direct physical changes to the environment.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 15, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Designation of Proposed Development at 2 South Quarantina Street (MarBorg Industries) as a Community Benefit Project
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council designate the proposed project at 2 South Quarantina Street as a Community Benefit Project pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Chapter 28.85 and allocate a total of 12,142 square feet (net) of nonresidential floor area to the project from the Nonresidential Growth Management Program’s Community Benefit Category.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Project
The project is located at the corner of South Quarantina and Quinientos Streets and involves construction of a new two-story 18,575-square-foot corporate office building for MarBorg Industries with a total of 102 parking spaces. The project site is zoned M-1/SD-3 (Light Manufacturing/Coastal Overlay) and has an industrial designation under the Coastal Land Use Plan. The application currently under review requires a Coastal Development Permit to allow the proposed development in the Non-Appealable Jurisdiction of the City’s Coastal Zone, and a Development Plan to allow the construction of 18,575 square feet of net new nonresidential floor area. The purpose of the project is to provide a central and singular office that will accommodate all current and future operating staff in order to better serve and meet community needs.
Nonresidential Growth Management Ordinance
Adopted in 2013, the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program limits certain new nonresidential growth to a total of 1.35 million net new square feet until December 31, 2033. This floor area limitation is divided among three development categories:
Community Benefit Projects, Small Additions, and Vacant Property. The initial allocations by City Council were: 600,000 square feet for Community Benefit Projects; 400,000 square feet for Small Additions; and 350,000 square feet for Vacant Property.
Agenda Item No. 8
File Code No. 640.01
Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 2 South Quarantina Street (MarBorg Industries) as a Community Benefit Project
October 15, 2024
New nonresidential projects must be allocated floor area from one or more of the three categories and must also be consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Chapter 28.85. The project site is in the Downtown Development Area. The project site has 3,433 square feet of credit due to demolition of a previous building that has not been replaced, 1,000 square feet of Minor Addition and 2,000 square feet of Small Addition available for a total of 6,433 square feet. Based on the proposed building size of 18,575 square feet, the remainder of 12,142 square feet has been requested from the Community Benefit category.
Community Benefit Projects include three subcategories: Community Priority Projects, Economic Development Projects, and New Vehicle Sales Projects. The applicant requests designation of the proposed project under both the Community Priority Project and Economic Development Project subcategories.
The Economic Development Project category is defined as a project consistent with the City Charter, General Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance that will enhance the standard of living for city and South Coast residents; and will strengthen the local or regional economy by either creating new permanent employment opportunities or enhancing the City’s revenue base. An Economic Development Project should also accomplish one or more of the following:
a. Support diversity and balance in the local or regional economy by establishing or expanding businesses or industries in sectors that currently do not exist on the South Coast or are present only in a limited manner; or b. Provide new recreational, educational, or cultural opportunities for city residents and visitors; or
c. Provide products or services that are currently not available or are in limited supply either locally or regionally; or
d. Support a small and local business in the Santa Barbara community that is being started, maintained, relocated, redeveloped, or expanded.
For purposes of this code section, “standard of living” is defined as wages, employment, environment, resources, public safety, housing, schools, parks and recreation, social and human services, and cultural arts.
The Community Priority Project category is defined as a project that has a broad public benefit, is not principally operated for private profit, and is necessary to meet a present or projected need directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare (e.g., museums, childcare facilities, health clinics).

Community Benefit Project Designation
The 12,142 square feet of requested Community Benefit Project floor area for 2 South Quarantina Street represents 0.02 percent of the original 600,000 square feet allocated to Community Benefit Projects in the Nonresidential Growth Management Program until 2033. To date, City Council has allocated a total of 219,383 square feet from the Community Benefit Category to 15 projects, as identified in the table below. Additionally, 106,668 square feet of expired Small Addition floor area has been reallocated to the Community Benefit category by the Planning Commission since 2013, when the allocations were initially established. To date (approximately halfway through the 20-year allocation period), a total of 487,285 square feet, or 81 percent, of the floor area remains available for Community Benefit Projects through 2033.

Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 2 South Quarantina Street (MarBorg Industries) as a Community Benefit Project
October 15, 2024
Refer to the Applicant Letter (attached) for a description of the project and why the applicant believes that the project qualifies as a Community Benefit Project.
Staff finds that the project can be designated as a Community Benefit Project because it meets the criteria for an Economic Development Project. The proposed new commercial construction to house MarBorg’s corporate office complies with the General Plan and meets the City’s zoning requirements. MarBorg is a locally owned company that provides a broad public benefit in solid waste management for the Santa Barbara community, and is one of a few, if not the only, locally based provider of these services in the City. The project would enhance the standard of living for City and South Coast residents by improving staff efficiencies, and allowing for a streamlined solid waste response to satisfy community needs and enhance public health and welfare. The project also enhances the local economy by offering long-term employment opportunities that have the potential to enhance the City’s revenue base and supports a local business in the Santa Barbara community that is being maintained and redeveloped. Furthermore, the project is consistent with strategies and objectives of the City’s Economic Development Plan (adopted in June 2021) as well as with associated policies of the City’s General Plan related to Land Use and Economy and Fiscal Health.
GENERAL PLAN (2011)
LG7. Community Benefit Non-Residential Land Uses. Community Benefit Land Uses are determined and defined by City Council and shall include the following categories:
Possible Implementation Action to be Considered
LG7.1 Findings. Develop project level findings of approval for the following Community Benefit Non-residential development uses:
a. Community Priority Development. This type of project addresses a present or projected need directly related to public health, safety or general welfare including but not limited to:
Parks and recreation facilities;
Community centers;
Educational institutions and uses including schools;
Public cultural or art facilities;
Youth development programs and childcare facilities; and Community gardens and urban farming
EF4. Existing Businesses. Give priority to retaining existing enterprises as the best source of business expansion and local job growth, and encourage government, businesses and residents to patronize local businesses and contractors, by working with local businesses to initiate a “Buy Local” program, with the City setting the example.
EF14. Local Needs. Encourage enterprises that serve the needs of existing local residents, workers, and businesses.
Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 2 South Quarantina Street (MarBorg Industries) as a Community Benefit Project
October 15, 2024
EF21. Small Businesses. Continue to recognize the economic importance of small business in the community and promote programs to encourage their continued economic vitality and flexibility in future expansion.
Economic Development Plan (2021)
Strategy 1 – Support Local Businesses and Commercial Districts Citywide Objective 1.3 – Develop Business Retention, Expansion and Attraction Initiatives Strategy 2 – Cultivate a Business-Friendly Government
Objective 2.1 – Communicate and Address Business and Land Development Processes
Additionally, while staff does not believe the proposed project meets all the necessary findings to qualify for as a Community Priority Project because it is a business operated for profit, staff finds it is still important to note that MarBorg’s operations serve a broad public interest directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare. Specifically, SBMC Chapter 7.16 describes the storage, accumulation, collection, and disposal of solid waste as a matter of great public concern, and MarBorg provides services necessary to meet this need. For this reason, staff is further supportive of the Community Benefit Designation.
BUDGET/ FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The requested designation would have no budgetary or financial impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The designation of a project as a Community Benefit Project and reservation of floor area enables the City to accept the development application for processing, but does not commit City Council or the Planning Commission to a definite course of action (CEQA Guidelines §15352(a) Approval); therefore, the Community Benefit designation and allocation of floor area are not subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. If the requested Community Benefit floor area is allocated for the project, the application will continue through the City’s standard review process.
Environmental review would be completed as part of the development application review.
Council Agenda Report
Designation of Proposed Development at 2 South Quarantina Street (MarBorg Industries) as a Community Benefit Project
October 15, 2024
CONCLUSION:
MarBorg Industries (2 South Quarantina Street) qualifies as an Economic Development Project, and generally conforms to the Community Priority findings, and can be allocated 12,142 net square feet of new nonresidential floor area from the Community Benefit category of the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program.
In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Traffic Management Strategy as implemented by SBMC Section 28.85.050 because it is located in the Downtown Development Area, which allows allocations from the Community Priority Project category and Economic Development category by the City Council.

Santa Barbara, CA 93101
SUBJECT: Request for Designation of the Proposed Marborg Industries Corporate Headquarters Office Building located at 2 S. Quarantina Street as a Community Benefit Project (APN: 017-113-024)
Mayor and Council Members:
On behalf of Marborg Industries (Marborg), owner of the subject property, we are pleased to submit this request for designation as a Community Benefit Project under the City’s Growth Management Program (GMP) and allocate 12,142 square feet from the Nonresidential GMP Community Benefit Category to the proposed Marborg Corporate Headquarters Office Building.
Property Information
The subject property is located at 2 S. Quarantina Street at the corner of S. Quarantina and Quinientos Streets and consists of a single parcel (APN 017-113-024) approximately 1.26 acres (54,646 square feet) in size. The property is bounded by S. Quarantina Street to the east, Marborg’s CNG vehicle staging yard to the south, Marborg’s mulch plant to the west, and Quinientos Street to the north.
The property is located within the Coastal Zone of the City of Santa Barbara and has a Local Coastal Plan designation of Industrial and a zoning designation of M-1/SD-3 (Light Manufacturing / Coastal Zone Overlay). The surrounding properties have similar land use and zoning designations.
The site is currently vacant. Marborg obtained a demo permit in 2019 (BLD2019-06187) to remedy numerous code violations on the property issued to the previous property owner. The demo permit also included removal of the existing 3,433 square foot single story light industrial/office building.

2 S. Quarantina Street
Needs Assessment – Marborg Corporate Headquarters Office Building
DMI September 29, 2024
Marborg submitted a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application in November 2019 for a proposed new single story 3,151 net square foot light industrial building and an outdoor area for staging and storage of equipment and vehicles. On February 24, 2021, the City’s Staff Hearing Officer (SHO) approved the CDP (SHO Resolution No. 007-21). The SHO decision was appealed to the Planning Commission (PC) on March 4, 2021. The PC upheld the decision of the SHO to approve the CDP on May 20, 2021. The PC decision was subsequently appealed to the City Council (CC) and the CC considered the project on August 10, 2021, and upheld the PC decision. The approved CDP remains valid today.
Proposed Project
Marborg is proposing a change from the approved light industrial building and storage yard project to a new two-story 19,122 gross square foot (18,575 net sq. ft.) corporate office building and 102 surface parking spaces. The office building will be comprised of a 9,523 net square foot first floor office space with a lobby and outdoor employee break area and a 9,052 net square foot second floor office area. The project will be a Net-Zero building designed with abundant natural light and sustainable materials to make the new workplace a healthy one, which will result in improved staffing efficiencies and allow for a more streamlined and responsive solid waste service to the community.
The project requires seventy-four (74) parking spaces, but is eligible for a 10% reduction from required parking under Title 28, resulting in a total of sixty-seven (67) parking spaces required for the proposed office building project. A total of one hundred and two (102) surface parking spaces are proposed that will provide 35 surplus parking spaces to be available for employee parking that will partially alleviate on-street parking in the area and accommodate periodic employee training seminars to be held onsite. Perimeter and parking lot landscaping is also included. Vehicle ingress/ egress to the site will be provided from a single driveway access point located centrally on the east side of the property on S. Quarantina Street. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning and land use regulations applicable to the property.
Available and Requested Nonresidential Floor Area
The property is eligible for existing non-residential floor area resulting from demolition of structures that existed in 1989 when the City’s Nonresidential Growth Management Program (GMP) (SBMC
28.85) was adopted, as well as new nonresidential floor area from the GMPs Minor and Small Addition allocation categories. Based on the previously existing permitted 3,433 square foot nonresidential building that has been demolished and an allocation from both the Minor Addition (1,000 sq. ft.) and Small Addition (2,000 sq. ft.) GMP categories, the total amount of GMP nonresidential floor area available to the property is 6,433 square feet. 2 S. Quarantina Street
Needs Assessment – Marborg Corporate Headquarters Office Building
DMI September 29, 2024
The proposed office building is 18,575 net square feet in size, and therefore requires an additional 12,142 square feet of new nonresidential floor area.
Therefore, we are requesting that the proposed project be designated a Community Benefit Project by the City Council, and therefore, eligible for the additional 12,142 square feet of new nonresidential floor area necessary for the proposed project to be allocated from the Community Benefit category, as summarized below.
2 S. Quarantina Street
• Existing Demolished Building Credit: 3,433 square feet • Minor GMP Addition: 1,000 square feet
• Small GMP Addition: 2,000 square feet
Total Existing Eligible Square Footage: 6,433 square feet Marborg Office Building
• Proposed Project: 18,575 square feet
• Less Eligible Square Footage: 6,433 square feet
Community Benefit Project Request: 12,142 square feet
The Community Benefit Category was originally allocated 600,000 square feet of nonresidential floor area. To date, approximately halfway through the 20-year allocation period, the City Council has allocated a total of 219,383 square feet from the Community Benefit Category, resulting in a total of 487,285 square feet or 81 percent of the floor area remaining available for Community Benefit Projects through 2033.
The 12,142 square feet of requested Community Benefit Project floor area for the 2 S. Quarantina Street project represents 0.02 percent of the original 600,000 square feet allocated to Community Benefit Projects in the Nonresidential Growth Management Program until 2033 and about 0.024 percent of the available 487,285 square feet of floor area from this category.
Justification For Community Benefit Designation
As part of the process to be designated a Community Benefit Project, the City Council must find that the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and will enhance the standard of living for City and South Coast residents, strengthen the local economy, and has a broad public benefit.
2 S. Quarantina Street
Needs Assessment – Marborg Corporate Headquarters Office Building
DMI September 29, 2024
As described below, we believe the proposed project meets the intent of a Community Benefit Project as a Community Priority Project and an Economic Development Project and is therefore eligible for an allocation of nonresidential floor area from this category.
Marborg is a locally owned company that has been the leading solid waste business in the Santa Barbara County south coast area for over 85 years. Marborg’s current office location is approaching a level that will exceed available space due to ongoing and increased demand for services to meet community needs. As a result, Marborg determined redevelopment of the 2 S. Quarantina Street site would better serve and meet community expectations if able to provide a central, expanded and singular Corporate Office site location able to accommodate all current and future pertinent operating staff rather than using the site for vehicle and equipment storage as recently approved by the City.
The ability to relocate and expand Marborg’s Corporate office will result in improved staffing efficiencies and allow for a more streamlined and responsive solid waste service for the community.
We believe the proposed Marborg Corporate Office project provides a broad public benefit in solid waste management for the Santa Barbara community that is directly related to public health, safety, or general welfare. Furthermore, the proposed project will provide an environmental benefit to the community consistent with the City’s General Plan Safety Element and Santa Barbara Municipal Code Chapter 7 – Sanitation, as sanitation services are recognized as providing a present need directly related to public health, safety or general welfare for the residents of the City of Santa Barbara. The proposed project will also enhance the local economy through its ability to continue to offer longterm employment, which would enhance the City’s revenue base and be consistent with the City’s General Plan/Local Coastal Plan and associated policies related to Land Use, Economy, and Fiscal Health, as well as consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Economic Development Plan, and therefore the proposed project meets the required City Council findings for a Community Benefit Project designation.
Lastly, we believe the proposed office building project at 2 S. Quarantina Street is an important and warranted project, as it will improve and enhance the neighborhood, is compatible with adjacent commercial/industrial developments surrounding the site, eliminates previously unpermitted storage areas, and will result in plantings of new trees and landscaping, as well as a new pedestrian parkway and sidewalk along the street frontage of the site providing for a pedestrian friendly streetscape for the project site and area.
On behalf of Marburg Industries, we would like to thank the City Council for its time and consideration, and respectfully request the Council’s support of our request to have the proposed Corporate Headquarters Office Building designated as a Community Benefit Project.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 15, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Airport Department
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Santa Barbara Airport Drainage Master Plan Update [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Authorize the Airport Director to execute a Third Contract Amendment with Mead and Hunt, Inc., for planning services for the Santa Barbara Airport Drainage Master Plan Update, Contract No. 28,227, in the amount of $10,670 for a new not to exceed amount of $390,034; and
B. Receive a status update on the Santa Barbara Airport Drainage Master Plan Update.
DISCUSSION:
Background
On December 13, 2022, Council authorized a professional services agreement with Mead and Hunt, Inc. in the amount of $312,361 to provide planning services to update the 2001 Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) Master Drainage Plan. Council also authorized the Airport Director to approve expenditures of up to $31,236 for extra services for a total expenditure authority of $343,597. The purpose of the updated drainage plan is to create a comprehensive plan to guide storm water management associated with future development and buildout of the airport properties.
The work of the Drainage Master Plan Update (DMP) includes drainage system inventory, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, conceptual designs to guide the future construction (storm drainage systems, drainage structures, drainage channel grading, erosion control measures, flood control and detention basins), and project cost estimates for future drainage improvements.
On January 30, 2024, Council authorized a contract amendment with Mead and Hunt, Inc. for a new not-to-exceed contract amount of $379,363.76 and a total expenditure authority of $390,906.
Agenda Item No. 11
File Code No. 560.09
Council Agenda Report
Contract Amendment for Santa Barbara Airport Drainage Master Plan Update [Agreement]
October 15, 2024
Current Status
Mead and Hunt, Inc. has completed all field work and has provided a draft final report that summarizes all collected data, analyses, and modeling and provides recommendations for storm drain system improvements. Recommendations take in to account all applicable Federal Aviation Administration, regional, county, and municipal drainage requirements.
Due to delays with presentations and incorporating third-party data and staff comments and additional outreach, a contract amendment is necessary to increase the contract amount by $10,670 and extend the contract’s Completion Date to October 31, 2024. The contract’s new not-to-exceed amount will be $390,034. The total expenditure authority would remain unchanged at $390,906.
The recommended storm drain system improvements focus on areas of interest (AOI) - locations where there were known drainage issues as reported by SBA, where the pipe conditions assessment identified areas of concern, and where hydraulic models showed ponding water to impact runway and taxiway pavements.
All AOI were evaluated in an alternatives matrix to explore various mitigation strategies.
SBA used a weighted scoring criteria to help with selecting the preferred mitigation strategy for each AOI. Scoring criteria included nine different criteria ranging from airport operations safety, implementation costs, and alignment with SBA policies and plans. The preferred mitigation strategy associated with each AOI were advanced to a conceptual design level. Project data sheets, including planning level cost estimates, were created for each preferred mitigation strategy.
Recommended storm drain system improvements include the following types:
1. Replacement or lining of pipe sections based on the pipe conditions assessment.
2. Conveyance improvements associated with proposed development projects.
3. Addition of temporary surface water storage areas in the airfield to store water away from airfield pavements until water surface elevations at the outfalls recede.
4. Maintenance and sediment removal in portions of Carneros Creek and Goleta Slough to allow for lower offsite water surface elevations and improved airfield drainage.
5. Studies of Tecolotito and San Pedro Creeks to evaluate creek conveyance improvements.
The Airport will look to implement the recommended storm drain system improvements through the federally funded Airport Capital Improvement Plan and in conjunction with other capital projects.
Engagement
SBA presented the existing conditions findings to the Goleta Slough Management Committee on July 20, 2023. An informational meeting was held with a Public Open House on the evening of August 22, 2024. The Public Open House allowed the public to learn about the DMP. Airport staff and consultants were available to answer any questions and receive comments.

Executive Summary
The Santa Barbara Airport is owned and managed by the City of Santa Barbara. The Airport is located in the South Coast region of Santa Barbara County, on the coastal plain between the Santa Ynez mountains and the Pacific Ocean and is immediately surrounded by the City of Goleta. The Airport occupies 952 acres.
The Airport property includes 400 acres designated for aviation use and 100 acres designated for commercial/industrial use. Most of the remaining acreage includes the Goleta Slough, which is an ecological reserve that spans 430 acres inside the Airport property boundary. It is an area of tidal marsh and wetlands that drain into the Pacific Ocean.
The Airport was constructed in Goleta Slough on fill material during the 1940s. The elevation of the Airport is very low, with ground elevations between 8 and 18 feet NAVD 88. In addition to Goleta Slough, three creeks bound the Airport: Carneros Creek and Tecolotito Creek flow around the western end of the airfield, and San Pedro Creek flows on the east side of the Airport. Significant portions of Goleta Slough and the lower ends of the creeks are tidally influenced. Almost the entire Airport property is contained within the 100-year floodplain boundary.
The existing airport drainage system includes drainage inlets that connect to pipes, culverts, and swales.
Stormwater is collected throughout the airport and ultimately discharges at pipe outfalls to Tecolotito Creek, Carneros Creek, San Pedro Creek, and Goleta Slough. The creeks carry a significant sediment load from the Santa Ynez mountains. Sediment is deposited in the vicinity of the Airport because this is where the creeks reach the coastal plain, and their slopes and flow velocities decrease. Extensive sediment deposition often occurs in Tecolotito, Carneros, and San Pedro Creeks south of Hollister Avenue, which reduces channel capacity and causes overbank flooding. The County Flood Control District maintains two sediment basins on Tecolotito and Carneros Creeks south of Hollister Avenue.
The Airport has flooded three times in the last 18 months (January 9, 2023, February 4, 2024, and February 18-19, 2024) during which floodwaters shut down Runway 7-25. The primary source of the flooding in 2024 was from Carneros Creek overtopping the bank on the north side of the airport and inundating the runway.
The Airport experiences temporary ponding at select inlets due to high water elevations in the creeks during storm events.
The Airport completed a Master Drainage Plan in 2001 to assess Airport overall drainage conditions. Mead & Hunt was retained to prepare a Drainage Master Plan Update (Plan) to guide drainage improvements associated with the Master Plan Update to be completed in 2024. The Master Plan Update addressed existing and future development to address current Airport needs and evaluated future development associated with aviation forecasts and facility requirements. The Master Plan Update defined a preferred development plan for a 20-year planning horizon.
The Basis of Design in the Plan summarizes applicable FAA, regional, county, and city drainage requirements and is included in Section 2. Basis of Design. Data developed for the existing conditions assessments includes historical flood data, a pipe conditions assessment including video inspection of select pipes, an environmental conditions assessment as part of the Master Plan Update, site observations, terrain and structure elevations, soil and land cover from past geotechnical investigations, rainfall data, drainage areas, and receiving waters conditions. This data is included in Section 3.2 Existing Conditions Data Development.
An assessment of the existing storm drain system evaluated areas of known drainage issues and areas demonstrating flooding as modeled in the existing conditions hydrologic and hydraulic model. Model analysis considered existing pipe capacities, temporary inundation of airfield pavements, and drawdown time of stormwater runoff from the airfield. The existing conditions assessment concluded that airfield drainage is poor during larger storms, particularly when modeled as coupled with high water surface elevations in the receiving waters of Goleta Slough, San Pedro Creek, Tecolotito Creek, and Carneros Creek. This is discussed in Section 3.4 Existing Conditions Results.
To develop mitigation strategies, areas of interest (AOI) were identified from the existing conditions assessment for inclusion in the alternatives analysis. The AOI included locations where modeled water surface elevations were higher than runway and taxiway pavement elevations, areas of known drainage concerns as reported by the Airport, and areas of concern identified in the pipe conditions assessment.
The preferred development plan from the Master Plan Update defined the proposed conditions for future development. The proposed conditions hydrology and hydraulic model was updated with the revised land use. The AOI were expanded with additional AOI corresponding to the development projects. The AOI were divided into two categories for development of alternatives: (1) known drainage concerns and short-term projects; and (2) intermediate and long-term projects. This is discussed in Section 4.3 Proposed Conditions Results.
All AOI were evaluated in an alternatives matrix to explore various mitigation strategies. The alternatives matrix used a weighted scoring criteria as ranked by the Airport. The alternatives matrix identified a recommended alternative for each AOI. The Airport selected the preferred alternatives for each AOI. The preferred alternatives associated with known drainage concerns and short-term projects were advanced to a 20% concept design level, while the preferred alternatives associated with intermediate and long-term projects were advanced to a 10% concept design level. Project data sheets, including planning level cost estimates, were created for each preferred alternative associated with known drainage concerns and shortterm projects. This is discussed in Section 5. Drainage Mitigation Conceptual Designs.
Recommended storm drain system improvements include the following types:
1. Replacement or lining of pipe sections based on the pipe conditions assessment.
2. Conveyance improvements associated with proposed development projects.
3. Addition of temporary surface water storage areas in the airfield to store water away from airfield pavements until water surface elevations at the outfalls recede.
4. Maintenance and sediment removal in portions of Carneros Creek and Goleta Slough to allow for lower offsite water surface elevations and improved airfield drainage.
5. Studies of Tecolotito and San Pedro Creeks to evaluate creek conveyance improvements.
The Airport will look to implement the recommended storm drain improvements contained within the Plan

2 1. Introduction
1.1 Plan Purpose
The Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (Airport), owned and operated by the City of Santa Barbara (City), retained Mead & Hunt to prepare an Airport Drainage Master Plan update (Plan). The Plan consists of a comprehensive plan to guide stormwater management associated with future development and buildout of the airport properties within the Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) boundary aligned with the Master Plan Preferred Development Concept. The Plan is an update to the 2001 SBA Master Drainage Plan.
Background information on the 2001 SBA Master Drainage Plan is presented in Section 1.2. The Plan is intended to guide surface stormwater drainage improvements including collection, conveyance, quantity and quality design objectives, and environmental protections in support of regional stormwater management goals and strategies over a twenty-year planning horizon.
The Plan includes a Basis of Design presenting the drainage design criteria and includes existing conditions assessments comprised of a drainage system inventory and hydrologic and hydraulic analysis. The Plan also includes the proposed conditions assessments, drainage mitigation conceptual designs to guide the future construction and drainage improvements, and project conceptual level cost estimates. The Plan focuses on on-site stormwater management on Airport property and does not model or modify the existing conditions or proposed conditions floodplains, floodways, streams, slough, slough mouth, or other external natural waterways apart from the on-site grading and drainage improvements that address on-site issues.
Data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), specifically the Flood Insurance Rate Map No 06083C1361H, effective September 28, 2018, shows most of the Airport lies within the 100- year floodplain and parts of the Airport are within the 100-year floodway. The study limits of the Plan include the airport drainage system to the outfalls to adjacent receiving waters as shown in Figure 1.

1.2 Background and Previous Studies
The City completed an airport-wide drainage study in 2001 to assess the overall drainage conditions of Airport properties south of Hollister Avenue, identify deficiencies in the storm drain system and engineered channels, provide recommendations on drainage improvements, and provided drainage alternatives for the Runway Safety Area (RSA) Extension Project, Terminal and parking improvements, and general aviation facility improvements. The 2001 drainage study recommended relocating Tecolotito Creek and extending Runway 7-25 to the west to establish required RSAs and maintain adequate drainage and this work was completed in 2006. Since concluding the study, the City has completed other improvements to drainage infrastructure. Subsequently, development has taken place on airport property and surrounding areas.
1.3 Concurrent and Ongoing Studies
There are numerous concurrent and ongoing studies at the Airport which impact future development at the Airport. A discussion of a general scope of those studies and interactions with the Plan are as follows:

2.2.1 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The FAA AC 150/5320-5D, Airport Drainage Design specifies guidelines for the collection and conveyance of stormwater runoff to provide for the safe passage of vehicles and operation of the facility without causing adverse on-site or off-site impacts (FAA, 2013). In addition, local, state, and/or federal regulations often control the allowable quantity of stormwater discharges (FAA, 2013, Section 1-5.3). For airfields, the typical design storm is the 5-year storm event with no encroachment of runoff on taxiway and runway pavements (including paved shoulders) (FAA, 2013, Section 2-2.4). Consideration must be given to the probable consequences of storms more severe and less frequent than the design storm (FAA, 2013, Section 2-2.5). However, the damage or inconvenience that may be caused by larger infrequent storms may not warrant the increased cost of a drainage system large enough to accommodate that storm. For storm drain design, following the initial design of the storm drain network, it is advisable to evaluate the system using a higher

6 check storm, such as the 100-year flood frequency (FAA, 2013, Section 6-2.4.1).
The FAA AC 150/5200-33C, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or Near Airports recommends that stormwater management systems be designed so as not to create above-ground standing water; if above-ground standing water is created it will drain down within 48-hours after the design storm event. In addition, when selecting vegetation, one needs to consider the potential to attract wildlife and eliminate vegetation that may provide food or cover for wildlife (FAA, 2020).
2.2.2 California Water Quality Board Central Coast Region The Post-Construction Stormwater Management Requirements ensure that pollutant discharges are reduced to the maximum extent practicable and that key watershed practices are protected.
Regulated projects include all new development and redevelopment projects that create and/or replace 2,500 square feet of impervious surface. Projects of this size or greater must comply with four performance requirements:
Performance Requirement #1 minimize stormwater runoff from the site for projects with a net impervious area of 2,500 square feet or greater.
Performance Requirement #2 provide stormwater quality treatment for runoff produced by the 95th percentile storm for projects with a net impervious area of 5,000 square feet or greater.
Performance Requirement #3 provide stormwater retention for projects with a net impervious area of 15,000 square feet or greater.
Performance Requirement #4 manage the peak runoff of stormwater so that the proposed conditions' total volume does not exceed the existing conditions' total volume for the 2-year to 10-year storm recurrence interval for projects with a net impervious area greater than 22,500 square feet.
2.2.3 Santa Barbara County
The Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Standard Conditions of Project Plan Approval outlines the design criteria and policies for design and construction in Santa Barbara County. The Standard Conditions outline standard design principles for storm drains, drainage inlets, manholes, hydrologic calculations, grading and improvement plans, and detention basins. The Standard Conditions include optional input parameters to be used with the Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph (SBUH) for the South Coast Area for modeling detention basins. The parameters include storage-indication pond routing method, SCS 24-hour, Type I rainfall distribution, Antecedent Moisture Condition II, 0.1-hour hydrograph ordinate time increment, and the 24-hour total rainfall amounts for the South Coast Area in Table 1.

The objective of LID is to maintain the pre-development runoff volumes and the predevelopment peak runoff rate and frequency relationships. The analysis outlines procedures to calculate retention and detention storage volumes that control the increase in peak runoff rate after development.
All developments additionally must adhere to the Santa Barbara County Codes (SBCC) Development Standards.
2.2.4 City of Santa Barbara
The City of Santa Barbara Storm Water BMP Guidance Manual outlines practices to reduce the discharge of non-point source pollutants into local creeks and the ocean, and to protect water quality within the City. The Manual provides options in the selection, integration, design, and implementation of BMP options for a project to meet the City of Santa Barbara post-construction stormwater management requirements for development and redevelopment projects based on four project tiers. Tier 4 applies to projects that add or replace more than 15,000 square feet of impervious area. Projects with lesser square footage fall into Tier 1, 2, or 3, where reduced requirements apply. Tier 4 projects must select and implement BMPs to capture and treat runoff of the 24-hour rainfall event must be retained/prevented from flowing off-site for all replaced -hour rainfall for all new impervious area.

11 3. Existing Conditions Assessments
The airport drainage existing conditions assessments included baseline data development, field investigations, geotechnical and environmental conditions assessments, and computer hydrologic and hydraulic model simulations to identify areas of interest for evaluation in the development of drainage mitigation recommendations.
3.1 Existing Airport Drainage System Description
The existing airport drainage system includes drainage inlets that connect to pipes, culverts, and swales.
Stormwater is collected throughout the airport and ultimately discharges at outfalls to Tecolotito Creek, Carneros Creek, San Pedro Creek, and Goleta Slough. Goleta Slough is an area of estuaries, tidal creeks and marsh, and wetlands through which Tecolotito Creek flows. Some of the outfalls drain to the tidal creeks within the Goleta Slough before draining to Tecolotito Creek, and some outfall directly to Tecolotito Creek.
The existing drainage system and outfalls are shown in Exhibit 1. Existing Drainage System and Outfall Locations.
The Airport site is flat and close to sea level with much of the site ranging from 8 to 18 feet NAVD 88. Almost the entire Airport property is within the 100-year floodplain boundary (FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 06083C1361H, effective September 28, 2018). The Airport drainage system is subject to tidal influences as the outfalls discharge directly to the tidally influenced receiving waters of Goleta Slough, San Pedro Creek, Carneros Creek, and Tecolotito Creek. Outfalls are also subject to fluctuating water surface elevations in these creeks related to stream flow rates. Outfalls located at low inverts are typically submerged at high tide and during a storm event and take at least one (1) day to fully drain down after a storm, once the receiving waters water levels recede. Many outfalls have tide gate check valves to prevent backflow of water onto the airport.
3.2 Existing Conditions Data Development
Baseline data developed to support the existing conditions assessments are described below. This data includes historical flood data, pipe conditions, environmental conditions, site observations, terrain and structure elevations, soil types, land cover, rainfall, drainage areas, and receiving waters conditions.
3.2.1 Historical Flood Data
The Airport has been impacted by multiple storm events. The Airport supplied photos and observations from a storm on January 9, 2023 at locations where flooding occurred. During this storm event, Runway 7-25 was underwater, along with Taxiways D, C, B, and A5. Photos of Taxiways C and D shown below in Figure 2 depict standing water from that storm event. The storm event resulted in ponded water on the airport primarily due to exceptionally high tidal influences and high-water elevations in the receiving waters at the outfalls.
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN
© 2024 Mead & Hunt, Inc.
12 FIGURE 2: TAXIWAYS C AND D FLOODED DURING THE JANUARY 9, 2023 STORM EVENT Runway 7-25 operation was also impacted due to flooding from storm events on February 4, 2024 and February 18-19, 2024. In these three storm events, the primary source of the flooding was Carneros Creek, overtopping the bank on the north side of the airport and inundating the runway.
The Plan primarily focuses on airfield drainage infrastructure and does not evaluate the receiving waterway systems and flooding or deficiencies within that system. The Plan recognizes the limitations at the Airport outfalls and considers outfall improvements in the drainage mitigation alternatives.
3.2.2 Pipe Condition Assessments
Downstream Services, Inc. completed pipe condition assessments at select locations at the Airport (Downstream Services, Inc., 2023). These locations included storm drain pipes crossing Runway 7-25 and Taxiway A to determine the conditions of pipes under these critical airfield pavements.
The assessments were performed using mobile closed-circuit television (CCTV) services. The pipes were cleaned prior to performing televising, including dewatering and removal of sediment.
Two pipe segments (the outfall pipes of Outfall 10 and Outfall 12) were inundated with water and were not able to be cleaned or assessed in April 2023. Additional measures were deployed to seal the outfall tide gate check valves at these locations in order to clean and assess the pipes in April 2024. The general findings were that most pipes were in good condition, with a few issues rated as using the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) Code matrix. The summary of pipe conditions and the CCTV inspections is included in Appendix A.
Pipe segments with a PACP code of 3 or higher are summarized in Section 3.4.6 as Pipe Areas of Interest for consideration of being addressed in future potential projects.
3.2.3 Environmental Conditions Assessments
The environmental conditions assessment was completed by Rincon Consultants, Inc. as part of the Environmental Inventory chapter prepared for the Master Plan to identify potential constraints that could affect the development of a drainage strategy for the Airport. The Environmental Inventory chapter includes an environmental inventory of biological resources including critical habitat areas and special-status plant and wildlife species. The Environmental Inventory chapter also includes an inventory of cultural resources. The assessment located twelve archaeological
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN

13 sites within the environmental study area, with one listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The environmental study area does not overlap with any of the City six cultural resource sensitivity areas. Future projects in the airfield and airspaces areas should consider impacts to the sensitive resources, sites, and areas. The Environmental Inventory chapter is included in Appendix B labeled as draft as the Master Plan is to be completed later in 2024. This information is considered in the preferred alternatives in Section 5.
3.2.4 Site Observations
Mead & Hunt conducted a site visit on April 12, 2023, accompanied by Airport staff. The site investigations included observations of the outfalls, areas where flooding is known to occur, and various swales, culverts, and inlets across the Airport. Notable site conditions observed during the site visit and verified by topographic survey include the following:
Based on pictures and survey data, the outfall pipe at Outfall 26 is adversely (reverse) sloped. Pictures from the surveyor and observations during the site visit confirmed standing water in the upstream inlet, DI-W07-507. Outfall 26 and inlet DI-W07-507 are shown below in Figure 3.
The pipes leading to Outfalls 10 and 12 were full of water at the time of the pipe conditions assessment in April 2023. During the site visit, standing water was also observed on the downstream side of these outfalls, as shown below in Figure 4. Observations at Outfall 10 during a storm event reveal that the water level at the outfall in Goleta Slough take at least a day to drain down.
Standing water was observed in many of the channels leading from the outfalls to Tecolotito Creek, Carneros Creek, and Goleta Slough.

3.2.5 Terrain and Structure Elevations
Aerial survey data and topographic survey data were provided from effort on the Master Plan performed by NV5 (NV5 Geospacial, Inc., 2023) in 2022 and 2023. LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data obtained in 2022 as part of the Master Plan is used as the basis of the Airport topography. These topographic contours are shown on Exhibit 1 and were used for mapping results. Structure information (including pipe inverts, structure rims, and bottom elevations) was primarily (Penfield & Smith, 2018) and was
supplemented with data for select structures surveyed as part of the topographic survey effort by NV5. The vertical datum for elevations is NAVD 88 feet.
3.2.6 Soil and Land Cover
Soil data was obtained from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey Tool. The soils within the study area are primarily fine sandy loams and are designated as Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) C. HSG C soils have moderately high runoff potential when thoroughly wet and restricted water transmission through soil. Other soils are classified as Fill Areas.
A geotechnical assessment was completed by Earth Systems (Earth Systems, 2023) and includes a summary of prior field investigations and laboratory testing, an overview of the project site including regional geology, drainage infiltration potential and limitations, probable groundwater depths, soil erosion potential, and general considerations for construction. The geotechnical assessment confirmed the soil classifications expected on-site. Additional findings included groundwater depths ranging from 3.5 to 9.0 feet below current site grades across the Airport, and highly erodible soils. The Geotechnical Technical Memorandum is included in Appendix C.
The geotechnical assessment concluded that the on-site Fill Area is composed of silty sand, clayey sand, poorly graded sand, well-graded sand, and sandy lean clay, similar to the soil, and therefore was classified as HSG C.
Land cover boundaries were delineated using the linework provided by the NV5 survey, validated during site observations, and categorized into the following: pavement, buildings, vegetation (open

Rainfall data was modeled using the SCS 24-hour, Type 1 rainfall distribution. The SBUH rainfall depths are summarized in Table 1 in Section 2.2.3.
3.2.8 Drainage Areas
The Airport site is relatively flat and close to sea level. Airport stormwater is conveyed through surface runoff, swales, and storm drains to twenty-two outfalls. The Airport primarily drains westerly and southerly to Goleta Slough. There are outfalls to the Goleta Slough tidal creeks and directly to Tecolotito Creek and Carneros Creek. On the east side of the Airport, there are outfalls to San Pedro Creek. The naming of the drainage areas and associated drainage systems in this study Prevention Plan (SWPPP) (Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, 2015) where applicable. Drainage areas not included in the SWPPP were named using the numbering system of the outfalls as labeled on stakes in the field; these outfall numbers are consistent with the numbering system used in the Utility Map Book (Penfield & Smith, 2018). Locations of drainage areas and associated outfalls are presented below in Figure 6 and attached Exhibit 2. Existing Drainage Areas and further described below.

Drainage Area 1 drains the western portion of the aircraft ramp and runway and taxiway pavements in the northwestern section of the Airport. It discharges to Carneros Creek through Outfall 1.
Drainage Area 2 captures runoff from the northern edge of Airport property adjacent to Firestone Road and discharges to Carneros Creek through a system of swales and culverts at Outfall 2.
Drainage Area 5 encompasses the system of swales and storm drain that collect water from the northeast section of the Airport and picks up surface runoff from runway and taxiway pavements before discharging to San Pedro Creek at Outfall 5. Surface runoff from a lot north of Airport property also enters Drainage Area 5 through a culvert under Hollister Avenue.
Drainage Area 6 collects stormwater from the terminal ramp and runway pavements, and discharges to San Pedro Creek at Outfall 6.
Drainage Areas 9B and 9C include the storm drain system that collects water from the western and southern portions of the terminal ramp, and the southeastern runway and taxiway pavements.

Drainage Area 14 collects stormwater from the infield areas of Runway 7/25 and discharges to Tecolotito Creek at Outfall 14.
Drainage Area 17 collects stormwater from the southwestern runway and taxiway pavements and discharges to Goleta Slough at Outfalls 17a and 17b.
Drainage Area 26 collects surface runoff from the southwestern edge of the Airport and discharges to Tecolotito Creek at Outfall 26.
495 Fairview Hangars storm drains collect stormwater from ramps adjacent to Hollister and Fairview avenues, and discharges to San Pedro Creek at Outfalls F-1 and F-2.
The Northeast Corner of the Airport collects surface water into a culvert that discharges to San Pedro Creek at Outfall Northeast Corner.
Parking Areas along the Terminal Area and James Fowler Road collect surface runoff in isolated storm drain systems and ultimately discharge to San Pedro Creek at Outfalls Parking B, Parking C, Parking D, and Parking E and Goleta Slough at Outfall Parking A.
3.2.9 Receiving Waters Conditions
The water levels of the receiving waters for the Plan were provided by ESA as part of the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan development. ESA analyzed data taken from river stations located at breaks in slope on the FEMA flood profiles for the 1-, 10- and 100-year water levels and the 1-year water level at the Goleta Slough gage, which was determined by performing an extreme value analysis on the Goleta Slough gage data from 2013 to 2023. Whichever value was higher between the FEMA flood profiles and the Goleta Slough Gage was used as the water level at that river station.
The 5-year design storm WSE at each of these stations was determined by interpolating between the selected 1-year design storm WSE and 10-year design storm WSE using the annual chance of occurrence. The 25-year design WSE was determined through interpolation between the FEMA 10-year design storm WSE and 100-year design WSE using a Gumbel distribution.
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN
© 2024 Mead & Hunt, Inc.
19 The Plan then interpolated peak WSE for each design storm at each outfall in feet NAVD 88, discussed in Section 3.3.4. All outfalls are typically submerged during significant storm events, which limit discharge from the storm drain systems until the receiving water levels recede.
3.3 Existing Conditions Model
An existing conditions hydrologic and hydraulic model was developed using XPSWMM modeling software version 2020.1. XPSWMM is suited for this effort because of its ability to model water surfaces and flow rates simultaneously across a wide, integrated network, which is necessary for relatively flat drainage environs such as airports adjacent to variable receiving waters. The SBUH method was used to calculate runoff using drainage areas, curve numbers, times of concentration, and rainfall data. Routing was modeled as dynamic routing. The model parameters are discussed below.

Each drainage area was further subdivided into subbasins draining to each drainage inlet based on topographic contours, allowing for hydrologic computations at each node in the XPSWMM model. Existing Conditions Model Input is included in Appendix D.
3.3.2 Time of Concentration
The TR-55 flow segment method was utilized for computation of the time of concentration. Flow paths were delineated in AutoCAD Civil 3D software based on available elevation data, survey information, and aerial imagery. Segments of the flow path for each subbasin included sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and concentrated (open channel or pipe) flow as applicable. A of 0.15 was used in the time of concentration calculations for sheet flow across short grass.
3.3.3 Routing
Runoff from each node was routed through pipes or channels as links following the known airport drainage system.
Inlets located in low points are susceptible to ponding and can store ponded water on the ground surface if the runoff from a storm event exceeds the capacity of the downstream pipes or if the receiving water elevation is high. At these locations, the approximate available surface storage volume was calculated based on the surface contours. Where a storage area may overflow as surface flow to a nearby inlet in the same infield area, the surface flow was modeled as flowing in a wide and very shallow trapezoidal channel.
Surface flow that could transfer between drainage areas when significant ponding had the potential to overtop the runway and taxiway pavement crown was modeled as weir flow. Weir flow would occur if the water surface elevation in the storage areas was higher than the crown of pavements.
A broad-crested weir coefficient of 2.7 was used for the calculations (USACE, 2016). Note that some weir elements only experience flow during certain conditions and scenarios, and that the

3.3.4 Boundary Conditions
There are twenty-two outfalls that discharge into Goleta Slough, Tecolotito Creek, Carneros Creek, and San Pedro Creek. Peak water surface elevations (WSE) at river stations during 5- and 10-year design storms as well as initial conditions for model boundary conditions were provided by ESA as part of the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan (final plan in progress), as described in Section 3.2.9.
The WSE data provided by ESA as part of the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan was spatially interpolated along the watercourses for this analysis to estimate the peak WSE for each design storm at each outfall in feet NAVD 88, as included below in Table 5.

These peak WSEs were then used by ESA to develop a time series of the water levels for the 5- year design storm at each outfall centered around the temporal peaks. This time series was

21 developed using water level data from the SBSPWD Goleta Slough stream gauge during the January 2023 storm event and adjusted to each station based on the FEMA bed elevation and peak water level for each scenario. The 10-year design stormwater level time series was calculated by shifting the WSE time series up vertically by the difference between the maximum water level at each outfall for the 10-year and 5-year design storm. When input into the XPSWMM models, the water level time series were temporally aligned with their peaks at modeled storm event hour 10 to coincide with the timing of the peak runoff discharge rate form the Airport. The water level elevations and time series at each outfall are summarized in Appendix E: Water Level Time Series.
3.3.5 Design Storm Selection
In the 25-year design storm event, the WSE in the surrounding waterways at the outfalls are near or above Airport ground surface elevations, which sits at 8 to 18 feet NAVD. Therefore, the 25-year design storm event was not modeled in the XPSWMM model as the downstream WSE would block any discharge from happening. Additionally, in the 100-year design storm event, the Airport is completely inundated; therefore, 100-year design storm event checks were not performed.
Three events were simulated in the existing conditions model: 5-year design storm event with free discharge conditions at the outfalls and boundaries, 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE time series at the outfalls, and 10-year design storm event with 10-year WSE time series at the outfalls. The 5-year design storm event with free discharge conditions at the outfall is solely used to evaluate the existing pipe system capacity for the associated drainage areas.
3.4 Existing Conditions Results
The computed existing conditions model results include the peak stormwater runoff discharge rates. The hydrologic and hydraulic inputs and results of each node and link are included in Appendix D, and output hydrographs are included in Appendix F.
3.4.1 Drainage System Capacity
Analysis of the results for the three selected model scenarios to drain runoff from the Airport are discussed below. The Existing Conditions Result Maps are included in Exhibit 3. On-site Stormwater Ponding - Existing Conditions.
The 5-year design storm with free discharge conditions at the discharge point was simulated to perform a capacity check on the existing drainage system. The results showed that with no tidal or off-site flooding influences, the Airport drainage infrastructure satisfactory drains the 5-year design storm with the exception of two locations as follows:
1. Due to the adversely sloped pipe at Outfall 26, water overflows to Drainage Area 14 to exit the Airport.
2. The pipes directly south of the east general aviation apron experience backflow because they do not have enough head to combine with flow coming from the North at drainage structure DIY06-313.

22 The 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE at the discharge point and 10-year design storm event with 10-year WSE at the discharge point were simulated to evaluate the performance of the existing Airport drainage system considering the WSE of the receiving waters during design storm events. In general, the associated flood levels in Goleta Slough, Tecolotito Creek, Carneros Creek, and San Pedro Creek create high tailwater conditions that significantly limit outflow. These simulations assume that the receiving waters maximum WSE and the peak Airport runoff rates exactly aligned temporally. This assumption is conservative, as the maximum WSE and peak Airport runoff rate will often not occur at the same time in reality; however, this test was performed to assess the effects of the worst-case outfall conditions on the Airport drainage system.
The models indicate widespread drainage system sensitivity to outfall conditions and reveal that the system is restricted and is typically unable to drain stormwater until receiving water levels recede in even the 5-year design storm event. In some locations for both the 5-year and 10-year models, tailwater elevation effects extend upstream through the pipe network causing inlets to surcharge, resulting in an increase of overland flow and weir flow.
Graphical examples of outfall hydrographs included below in Figure 7, in this case specifically for Outfall 13, demonstrate the different model scenarios described above. The hydrographs show the reduction of flow through the outfall and the impacts to the duration and peak runoff discharge. when the outfall is submerged. The outfall is unable to drain until the downstream water level of the receiving waters recedes, increasing the amount of time stormwater is held on the Airport.
Hydrographs for all outfalls in all three modeling simulations are included in Appendix F.

3.4.2 Drawdown Rates
As listed in Table 2: Summary of Drainage Design Criteria, the maximum allowable detention time of stormwater on airport property is 48 hours to reduce the potential for attracting wildlife. In the 5- year design storm event with free discharge, direct drawdown is achievable within 48 hours. During the 5-year and 10-year design storm events with corresponding 5-year and 10-year WSE at the discharge points, pipe flows are restricted when the downstream WSE is higher than the outfall pipe invert and is reduced to zero during the time when the downstream WSE is as high as or is higher than the on-site water. Discharge resumes once the tailwater conditions subside and creek WSEs lower. In the model with peak runoff and peak WSEs aligned at hour 10, drawdown still occurs within 48 hours.
3.4.3 Pavement Encroachments
As listed in Table 2: Summary of Drainage Design Criteria, the required design storm frequency for drainage systems is the 5-year design storm. FAA guidance states that surface water should not encroach on runway or taxiway pavements for storm events at least as large as the 5-year

25 event. The various XPSWMM models produced hydraulic grade lines (HGL) throughout the on-site storm drain systems. The HGL were used to establish resulting WSE throughout the storm drain system and across the airfield. Using topographic data and tools in AutoCAD and geographic information system (GIS) software, WSE were visualized spatially in GIS as inundation (ponding) areas. Exhibit 3. On-site Stormwater Ponding Existing Conditions shows the spatial results from the three scenarios, specifically highlighting pavement encroachments where the water surface mapping intersect pavements and/or buildings.
3.4.4 Flooding Areas of Interest
Areas where potential flooding issues have been identified from the existing conditions assessment are further summarized here each as an Area of Interest (AOI) for evaluation in the alternatives analysis. These AOI were identified from the modeling scenario of the 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE model as locations where water has encroached on pavement in the design storm event. These areas are further evaluated with the proposed condition alternatives analysis. AOI are numbered as #-#, with the first number being the Drainage Area the AOI is in and the second number being its order in the alternatives evaluation discussed later in Section 5.

29 4. Proposed Conditions Assessments
4.1 Proposed Development Projects
The proposed development projects analyzed as part of the Plan were selected from the preferred development concept in the Master Plan which is shown in Exhibit 5. Proposed Development. The projects fall into three categories: short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term. Short-term projects are planned to be completed in the next five (5) years, intermediate-term projects are in the five- to ten- (5-10) year planning horizon, and long-term projects are in the ten- to twenty- (10-20) year planning horizon. A discussion of each of these projects and updates for inclusion in the Plan based on guidance from the Airport is included herein.
4.1.1 Short-Term Projects
The short-term projects and associated impacts considered with the Plan are described as follows:
Curbside Loading Improvements
This project includes improving the curbside loading and unloading area at the Terminal.
For the purposes of the Plan, it is expected to have nominal impacts to site drainage and is not included in the Plan.
FBO Redevelopment Project
The ongoing FBO Redevelopment Project will establish two (2) new FBO leaseholds in the northeast quadrant of the Airport to accommodate the relocation of the two (2) existing FBOs. The ultimate layout and facilities provided within the FBO redevelopment areas will be determined by the FBOs in conjunction with Airport management. Stormwater management improvements for any site improvements will be covered under that project and need not be addressed in the Plan. The taxiway reconfiguration in this area is considered with the Plan along with findings from the existing conditions assessment.
Taxiway Improvements
The taxiways planned for improvements in the short-term timeframe include the following for fiscal year 2024: Taxiway A1, Taxiway B1, Taxiway F, and Taxiway D.
The following taxiway improvements are slated for fiscal year 2025: Taxiway E, Taxiway A5, existing Taxiway A3.
Runway 7-25 Rehabilitation
Although not shown on the preferred development plan in the Plan, the Airport has slated a rehabilitation of Runway 7-25 to occur in 2029.
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN
© 2024 Mead & Hunt, Inc.
30 4.1.2 Intermediate-Term Projects
The intermediate-term projects and associated impacts considered with the Plan are described as follows:
Fuel Storage
This project includes expanding the existing fuel storage facilities to accommodate future demand and fuel shortage issues. The project includes the addition of 1,000 square feet of new impervious surface.
Hangar Expansion
This project includes the addition of hangars outside the FBO Redevelopment Project area in three (3) locations:
1. East end of Runway 7/25
2. Approach end of Runway 15 L (requiring the closure of Runway 15L/33R before construction could occur)
3. Northwest quadrant west of the Runway 15R approach end In total, the Hangar Expansion includes 1.9 acres of replaced impervious area and adds
5.7 acres of new impervious area. As this project is mostly composed of impervious surface and as this location has little to no current qualitative or quantitative stormwater management facilities, the relative cost of stormwater management improvements for this project is expected to be high. The Plan provides general recommendations but does not include an in-depth alternatives analysis as site improvements will be designed by the Developer.
Runway 15L/33R Closure
This project includes the closure of Runway 15L/33R and the taxiway improvements associated with the closure. Closure of Runway 15L/33R includes the removal of 15.1 acres of impervious surface and adds 4.6 areas of impervious surface This project will require new storm drain pipes, catch basins, manholes, and other structures to accommodate new site grading.
Taxiway Improvements
Taxiway improvements listed in the Master Plan but not in the short-term timeframe are assumed to occur in the intermediate-term. These include: Taxiway B2, future Taxiway A3, and Taxiway G.
4.1.3 Long-Term Projects
The long-term projects and associated impacts considered with the Plan are described as follows:
Vertiport and eVTOL Operations
This project includes the reconstruction of an existing parking lot to construct a vertiport for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVOTL) aircraft. A small passenger building would be
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN

31 constructed as well. This project replaces 0.4 acres of impervious surface and adds 0.12 acres of new impervious surface.
Parking Garage
This project includes the addition of a multi-story parking garage in place of the long-term economy parking lot north of Hollister Ave. This project replaces 7.3 acres of impervious surface.
4.1.4 Projects Not Included
There are other projects referenced in the Plan but not included in the Plan analysis. Those projects and rationale for exclusion are provided as follows:
FBO Redevelopment Project
As noted above, the ongoing FBO Redevelopment Project will include site improvements designed by others; therefore, the Plan does not include these site improvements in the analysis.
Taxiway B Extension
This project includes the extension of Taxiway B with the addition of 5.6 acres of impervious surface and removal of 2.47 acres of impervious surface with the removal of the Taxiway E-Runway connection. This project design is underway by others; therefore, the Plan provides consideration of other improvements that could be done in conjunction with this project but does not include these site improvements in the analysis.
Terminal Expansion
The Master Plan identified the Terminal Expansion project to be outside the twenty (20) year planning horizon. Although the Terminal Expansion project will include changes in impervious area, the Plan does not include these site improvements in the analysis as it is outside the twenty (20) year planning horizon.
Southfield Redevelopment
This project adds pervious pavement to the Long-Term Parking Lot. This project design is underway by others; therefore, the Plan does not include these site improvements in the analysis.
4.2 Proposed Conditions Modeling Updates
The proposed conditions hydrology and hydraulic modeling updates to XPSWMM include the short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term projects land use changes. One combined model was created to analyze changes in hydrology.
4.2.1 Subbasins
Proposed subbasins were updated to include the impervious nature of proposed development.
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT (SBA)
DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN
© 2024 Mead & Hunt, Inc.
32 Proposed land use based on the Proposed Developments from the Master Plan is shown below in Figure 8 and the Proposed Conditions Model parameters are included in Appendix G.
FIGURE 8: PROPOSED CONDITIONS LAND USE
Additionally, subbasins were updated to reflect new taxiway geometry. Where appropriate, the new taxiway centerlines are assumed to be the new high points and the subbasin boundaries are updated to match. The proposed taxiway elevations were estimated using the minimum transverse slopes from the runways required to comply with FAA requirements and the assumption that parallel taxiways would generally be lower than the corresponding parallel runways.
In areas of future private development, such as the FBO Redevelopment Project, proposed subbasins were revised to reflect anticipated changes to basin boundaries; however, the existing curve numbers were not changed in the proposed conditions XPSWMM model as these projects would need to provide independent stormwater management to match pre-development site runoff rates.
4.2.2 Time of Concentration
Proposed times of concentration calculations were updated for each proposed subbasin where the flow path changed due to changes in subbasin boundary locations or to changes in impervious area.

33 4.2.3 Routing
Proposed model routing was updated to correspond to the proposed development. New weir elements were added at the assumed crowns of proposed taxiways.
4.2.4 Boundary Conditions
The Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan draft concluded that the intermediate-high risk scenario of 0.8 feet of sea level rise is estimated to be reached by 2048, which is outside the twenty (20) year scope of the Plan. Therefore, the current range of water surface elevations in the Goleta Slough area were used in the proposed conditions model and the subsequent alternatives mitigation model.
4.2.5 Design Storm Selection
Three events were simulated in the proposed conditions model: 5-year design storm event with free discharge conditions at the outfalls, 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE time series at the outfalls, and 10-year design storm event with 10-year WSE time series at the outfalls.
4.3 Proposed Conditions Results
The computed proposed conditions model results include the peak stormwater runoff discharge rates. The hydrologic and hydraulic inputs and results of each node and link are included in Appendix G and output hydrographs are included in Appendix H.
4.3.1 Drainage System Capacity
The same three events from the existing conditions model were simulated in the proposed conditions model: 5-year design storm event with free discharge conditions at the discharge point, 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE time series at the discharge point, and 10-year design storm event with 10-year WSE time series at the discharge point. Peak discharge results for all drainage area outfalls for the three modeling simulations are listed in Table 7. The peak pipe flow rate was compared to the outfall pipe maximum design full flow rate, which assumes no surcharge of the pipe occurs. Outfall pipes in which the peak flow rate exceeds the design full flow capacity are highlighted in Table 7.

4.3.1 Drawdown Rates
As listed in the Table 2: Summary of Drainage Design Criteria, the maximum allowable detention time of stormwater on airport property is 48 hours to reduce potential for attracting wildlife. In the 5-year design storm with free discharge, direct drawdown is achievable within 48 hours. During the 5-year and 10-year events with corresponding 5-year and 10-year WSE at the discharge points, pipe flows are restricted when the downstream WSE is higher than the outfall pipe invert and is reduced to zero during the time when the downstream WSE is as high as or is higher than the onsite water. Discharge resumes once the tailwater conditions subside and creek WSEs lower. In the model with peak runoff and peak WSEs aligned at hour 10, drawdown still occurs within 48 hours.
4.3.2 Pavement Encroachments
As listed in Table 2: Summary of Drainage Design Criteria, the required design storm frequency for drainage system is the 5-year design storm. This FAA criterion includes the recommendation

35 that no ponding encroachment on runway or taxiway pavements occurs, recommended up to the 5-year design storm minimum. Proposed results were mapped using the existing topographic data and estimated elevations of future taxiways. No assumptions were made in the mapping on proposed elevations in the infields. Exhibit 6. On-site Stormwater Ponding Proposed Conditions shows the spatial results from the three proposed scenarios, specifically highlighting pavement encroachments where the water surface mapping intersect pavements and/or buildings.
4.3.3 Flooding Areas of Interest
Areas where potential on-site flooding issues have been identified from the proposed conditions assessment are designated as AOI for evaluation in the alternatives analysis. These AOI were identified from the 5-year design storm event with 5-year WSE model as locations where water has encroached on existing or proposed pavement in the 5-year design storm event. AOI are numbered as #-#, with the first number being the Drainage Area the AOI is in and the second number being its order in the alternatives evaluation discussed later in Section 5. AOI identified in the Existing Conditions Assessment that also are relevant in the Proposed Conditions Assessment are not relisted here.

37 5. Drainage Mitigation Conceptual Designs
5.1 Alternatives Analysis
5.1.1 Alternatives Development Process
Drainage mitigation conceptual design alternatives were defined for each AOI and proposed development project. Drainage mitigation measures considered to minimize ponding and inundation areas and reduce maintenance considerations included the following:
Stormwater collection and conveyance improvements such as structures, piping, channels, safe overflows, and pump stations.
Flow and volume control such as detention basins, infiltration basins/trenches, and surface storage areas.
Erosion control measures such as outfall protection and bank stabilization.
Proposed development projects will need to consider low-impact development and water quality enhancement strategies such as bioretention, biofiltration, infiltration, rainwater harvesting, oil/water separators, and engineered media filter systems. Linear airfield pavement improvement projects can utilize vegetated filter strips installed as part of site restoration for a low-cost and lowmaintenance water quality treatment approach. Airside aprons, which typically have impervious areas directly connected to the underground drainage system, may require underground treatment systems. Landside developments have more flexibility to consider low impact development water quality treatment strategies, such as bioretention and biofiltration, as long as wildlife attractant concerns are considered in design. Detailed water quality treatment strategies are not defined in the alternatives unless it is expected to be a significant design component.
Scoring criteria for the alternatives analysis were established with Airport input based on the following factors:
Maintains Airport Operability and Safety
Alleviates Flooding and Known Drainage Concerns
Incorporates Resiliency and Sustainability
Considers Operations and Maintenance
Minimizes Capital Cost
Supports Regional Stewardship and Partnership
Adheres with Master Plan Capital Plan
Streamlines Permitting
Aligns with the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan Goals
For scoring purposes, the above criteria were weighted in order of importance to the Airport and were ranked on a scale from low priority to high priority. The Alternatives Prioritization Table is included in Appendix I. Alternatives Prioritization Table.
The alternative evaluations were divided into two categories: (1) known drainage concerns and short-term projects; and (2) intermediate and long-term projects. The alternatives considered are

Mitigation alternatives were scored using the project priority criteria described in Section 5.1 and outlined in Appendix I. The alternatives for each AOI were ranked to determine a recommended preferred alternative for that AOI. The relative scores of each alternative for a select AOI were compared and the alternative with the highest score for that AOI was presented as a recommended alternative to the Airport. Results of the scoring are included in the mitigation project alternatives matrix in Appendix J.
5.2 Preferred Alternatives and Conceptual Designs
5.2.1 Alternatives Selection
Following the ranking of the alternatives to identify the recommended preferred alternatives, the Airport selected the preferred alternative for each AOI. The alternatives were further developed based on the two categories: (1) known drainage concerns and short-term projects; and (2) intermediate and long-term projects. The alternatives for the mitigation strategies for the known drainage concerns and short-term projects were brought to a more refined level of conceptual design (20% design level) whereas the intermediate and long-term projects were completed to a higher level of conceptual design (10% design level) as presented in the alternatives matrix.

53 The preferred mitigation alternatives were incorporated into the proposed XPSWMM model as a new Preferred Alternatives Model. The Preferred Alternatives Model shows combined impacts of all alternatives on the entire airfield. Modeled results of the flooding mitigation impacts are only an estimation of potential results due to the alternatives being at planning level detail. Final impacts would require area specific design that addresses proposed elevations and grading and refined modeling. The on-site stormwater ponding maps encompassing all short-term, intermediate-term, long-term, and known drainage concern alternatives are included in Exhibit 7. On-site Stormwater Ponding Selected Alternatives. Preferred Alternatives Model parameters is included in Appendix K.
5.2.2 Known Flooding Areas and Short-Term Project Preferred Alternatives The preferred alternatives for the known flooding areas and short-term projects are identified in bold in the mitigation project alternatives matrix in Appendix J.

2. AOI 1-2. Outfall 1 Improvements
(a) Conduct routine maintenance in Carneros Creek to remove built-up sediment in the channel and decrease the likelihood of creek overtopping. (b) Perform a drainage study of Tecolotito Creek from its confluence with Carneros Creek to the interface with Goleta Slough, approximately 4,000 linear feet downstream.
The study will investigate alternatives for providing additional capacity of Tecolotito Creek and improving the conveyance of the 10- and 25-year floods. The impact of alternatives on the 100-year flood will be documented. As Tecolotito Creek has been realigned since the most recent FEMA floodplain study, the effective FEMA hydraulic model cannot be used to investigate alternatives. A new hydraulic model will be required. The model will use publicly available LiDAR to define overbank elevations in the model. Field survey will be conducted along the creek to define channel elevations not included in the LiDAR dataset. Surface roughness in the model will be defined based on field observations. The study will include an alternatives analysis for recommended improvements. Results of the alternatives analysis will be documented in a project report.

To improve drainage in the northeast corner and the potential Vertiport site, the outfall should be raised and reconstructed with a headwall and design site grading to direct flow to the outfall.
3. AOI F-1. 495 Fairview Hangars Ponding
Do nothing as no essential Airfield operations occur there and drainage improvements would be costly and have limited benefits due to the outfall water levels in San Pedro Creek.
4. 9-1. Terminal Apron
Do nothing as upsizing the storm drain system would not provide significant benefit because the existing pipe slope is the limiting factor for hydraulic capacity.
5. 9-4. Angular Pipe Joint
Do nothing as the angular pipe joint does not inhibit the pipe performance and the joint appears to be structurally sound.
6. AOI 11-1 and 11-2. Taxiway E Relocation/Runway 15L-33R Closure Associated with Runway 15L-33R closure and Taxiway E relocation, replace the existing trunk line, replace the existing ACP pipe with an 18-inch RCP to avoid upsizing the existing Outfall 11, and replace the pipe under Taxiway A.
5.2.4 Conceptual Designs
Preferred alternatives associated with known drainage concerns and short-term projects were advanced to a more refined level of conceptual design (20% design level) and detailed in project sheets included in Appendix K. The project sheets include the following information:
Project Name
Project Map
Narrative
Associated Master Plan Projects
Project Type
Type of Mitigation Project
Project Footprint
Funding Share
Cost Estimate by Line Item
A planning level cost estimate is included for each concept design. Further design work would be required to develop higher confidence cost estimates. These estimates are based on previous Airport projects, CalTrans Contract Cost Data, and RSMeans. An inflation multiplier was applied to the costs obtained from previous Airport projects to escalate the values to present-day costs. All unit costs were then given a 10% markup for projecting them to an estimated 2025 construction

57 year. The costs evaluated treat each mitigation as a standalone project that only addresses the drainage considerations identified in this study. It is understood that once these projects are implemented by the Airport, they may be combined with other project elements based on the The cost estimates also include assumptions for soft project costs such as design, administration, and environmental review and permitting. These soft costs are assumed based on the percentages indicated in the Preferred Alternatives Data Sheets. Increased environmental costs were applied to select projects within the environmental inventory areas as identified in Figure 2-2 in Appendix B due to the likelihood of increased environmental considerations associated with projects in those areas. Detailed environmental evaluations were not performed. Special conditions for ACP pipe handling and disposal or other hazardous materials were not included in the estimates.
5.2.5 Implementation Considerations
The Airport will look to implement the concept designs as feasible through the Airport Capital Improvement Plan or by other possible funding streams. The cost estimates include percentages for soft project costs including design, administration, and environmental review and permitting, as indicated in the Preferred Alternatives Data Sheets. Actual soft costs will vary considerably depending on the specifics of each project once it is fully defined and programmed. The costs will also be impacted by the date at which each project is performed due to cost escalation and other potential factors unknown at the time of this study. Projects will require environmental clearances, field investigations including topographic survey and geotechnical investigations, and engineering design services to advance detailed design and preparation of construction contract documents.
