THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
2 SECTION 1. Chapter 30.15 of Title 30 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
Division I: Introductory Provisions
Chapter 30.15 Rules of Measurement
Sections:
30.15.010 Purpose
30.15.020 General Provisions
30.15.025 Calculating Density
30.15.030 Determining Average Slope
30.15.040 Determining Creek Top of Bank

30.15.100 Measuring Setbacks and
Stepbacks
30.15.110 Measuring Street Frontage
30.15.120 Screening
30.15.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to explain how various measurements referred to in this title are to be calculated.
30.15.020 General Provisions.
For all calculations, the applicant is responsible for supplying drawings illustrating the measurements that apply to a project. These drawings must be drawn to scale and of sufficient detail to allow easy verification upon inspection by the Community Development Director.
30.15.025 Calculating Density.
A. Maximum Allowable Residential Density. The maximum allowable residential density or “base density” means the greatest number of units allowed under the density range specified by the Zoning Ordinance, Specific Plan, or land use element of the General Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan, applicable to the project. Density shall be determined using dwelling units per acre (du/ac). If there is a conflict, the highest allowable density prevails.
3 1. Calculation. To calculate the maximum number of dwelling units permitted on a lot, the net lot area is converted from square feet to acres by dividing it by 43,560. The resulting acreage is multiplied by the density range. For density calculations with a remainder greater than 0.01 units, a whole unit is permitted.
Residential Density Calculation Example:
Net Lot Area: 21,000 sq. ft./43,560 = 0.48 acres
General Plan Density Range: 27 to 36 units/acre
Calculate Allowed Units: 27 to 36 units per acre x 0.48 acres = 12.96 to 17.28 units Rounding Up: 13 to 18 units allowed
B. Density Calculations in Mixed-Use Projects. For mixed-use projects, the maximum allowable residential density shall be calculated by using the total net lot area and does not exclude the nonresidential portion of the mixed-use site.
C. Density Calculations for Other Uses. Other facilities that are not residential uses but are subject to residential density limitations as specified in this code, (including, but not limited to, Group Residential, Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities, and Hotels with kitchens) must be equivalent in size to a residential project at base density ranges as permitted by the General Plan.
D. Accessory Dwelling Units. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units are not counted in maximum density calculations, unless otherwise specified in this title.
30.15.030 Determining Average Slope.
The average slope of a parcel of land, or any portion thereof, is calculated using a topographic map conforming to National Mapping Standards and having a scale of not less than one inch equals 200 feet and a contour interval of not more than five feet, and the following formula:
S = (I)(L)/A, where:
A. S = Average slope (in percent)
B. I = Contour interval (in feet)
4 C. L = Total length of all contour lines on the parcel (in feet), excluding the length of contours in drainage channels and in natural water courses below the 25-year flood level D. A = Area of subject area for which the slope is to be determined (in square feet) FIGURE 30.15.030: DETERMINING AVERAGE SLOPE
30.15.040 Determining Creek Top of Bank.
The “Top of Bank” is determined by the creek channel geometry. Any parcel that adjoins or is within 50 feet of a creek where development is proposed shall have the top of bank determined as part of any plan submittal. The top of bank shall be determined using one of the conditions described below in Cases 1-4 and depicted in the associated diagrams below. If more than one condition applies, the approach that is most protective of creek resources shall apply. If there is disagreement about where the top of bank is located the Creeks Division Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, shall make a final determination of top of bank.
A. Case 1 – Bank Slopes with a Single Defined Hinge Point. When the creek has a sloped bank rising from the toe of the bank to a hinge point at the generally level ground above, the hinge point is the top of bank. If the existing slope of the bank is steeper than 1.5 (horizontal):1 (vertical), the intersection of a projected plane with a 1.5:1 slope from the toe of the bank to the generally level upper ground is the “top of bank.” For concrete flood 5 control channels, that meet the definition outlined above, the top of bank is the upper hinge point regardless of the steepness of the bank.
B. Case 2 – Bank Slopes with Multiple Hinge Points. When the creek bank slope rises from the toe of the bank, levels off one or more times, then rises to a higher hinge point at the generally level upper ground, the hinge point at or directly above the FEMA 100-year flood surface elevation is the top of bank. If the FEMA 100-year flood surface elevation is above the highest hinge point, the location of the top of bank does not change and is the highest hinge point.
C. Case 3 – Bank Slopes with No Readily Defined Hinge Point. When no discernible break in slope occurs above the active channel, and the creek bank opposite a project site has a well-defined hinge point, the elevation of that hinge point will be used to determine the top of bank for the project site. Where no readily determined hinge point defines the top of bank on either side of the creek, the FEMA 100-year flood elevation is the top of bank.
D. Case 4 – Flood Control Projects. Where an existing flood control project exists, or has been approved, the top of bank will be located at the top of the proposed or completed 6 flood control channel wall, or the hinge point just above the top of wall, whichever is higher, even for banks steeper than 1.5:1 as outlined in Case 1 above.
FIGURE 30.15.040: DETERMINING TOP OF BANK
30.15.050 Fractions.
Whenever this title requires consideration of numerical quantities, all calculations shall use fractions no smaller than hundredths, and if the end result of a calculation contains a fraction of a whole number, the results shall be rounded as follows:
A. General Rounding. Fractions are to be rounded up to the nearest whole number, except as otherwise provided.
B. Exception for Parking Spaces. In determining the number of parking spaces fractions are to be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Where multiple structures or standards are involved, any rounding of spaces must be made on the aggregate total required for the site, and not on individual uses prior to calculating the total. See Section 30.175.040, Required Automobile and Bicycle Parking Spaces, for additional parking rounding requirements. 7 C. Exception for Inclusionary Housing. In determining the number of Inclusionary Units required by Chapter 30.160, Inclusionary Housing, any decimal fraction less than 0.5 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any decimal fraction of 0.5 or more shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Refer to Section 30.150.110 Inclusionary Requirements for Rental Housing Projects, to determine the number of Inclusionary Units for Rental Housing Projects.
30.15.060 Measuring Distances.
A. Measurements are Shortest Distance. When measuring a required distance, such as the minimum distance between a structure and a lot line, the measurement is made at the closest or shortest distance between the two objects.
B. Distances are Measured Horizontally. When determining distances for setbacks and structure dimensions, all distances are measured along a horizontal plane from the appropriate line, edge of building, structure, storage area, parking area, or other object. These distances are not measured by following the topography or slope of the land.
C. Measurements Involving a Structure. When measuring a required distance involving a structure, the measurements are made to the closest exterior wall or exterior element of the structure. Structures or portions of structures that are entirely underground are not included in measuring required distances.
8 FIGURE 30.15.060.A, B, AND C: MEASURING DISTANCES
D. Measurement of Vehicle Stacking or Travel Areas. Measurement of a minimum travel distance for vehicles, such as vehicle backup distance, are measured down the center of the vehicle travel area. For example, curving driveways and travel lanes are measured along the center arc of the driveway or traffic lane.
9 FIGURE 30.15.060.D: MEASURING TRAVEL AREAS
E. Measuring Radius. When a specified element is required to be located a minimum distance from another element, the minimum distance is measured in a straight line from all points along the lot line of the subject land use, in all directions.
10 FIGURE 30.15.060.E: MEASURING RADIUS
30.15.070 Measuring Floor Area.
The net floor area of a structure is the sum, in square feet, of the horizontal areas of all floors of a structure or other enclosed structure, or portions thereof, measured from either the interior perimeter of the exterior walls, or below the roofline, or the centerline of interior walls, as described below. All references to floor area in this title are to net floor area, unless otherwise indicated. The following are included in and excluded from floor area except as otherwise provided in this title.
A. Included in Floor Area.
1. Enclosed Structures. Net floor area includes all space within a structure that is below the roof and within the interior perimeter of the exterior walls of any main or accessory structure.
11 2. Interior Spaces. Net floor area of interior spaces, such as rooms or separate tenant spaces, includes all space within the centerlines of demising walls separating such spaces or portions thereof.
3. Stairways and Elevator Shafts. In the case of a multistory structure that has covered or enclosed stairways, stairwells, or elevator shafts, the floor area of such features is counted only once at the floor level of their greatest area of horizontal extent.
4. Unenclosed Structures. When measuring the area of a structure that is unenclosed such as a carport, the net floor area includes all space below the roof line.
B. Excluded from Floor Area. The following areas are excluded from floor area:
1. Vent shafts or areas with a ceiling height of less than five feet above finished floor.
2. Attics, crawlspaces, or similar areas, where entry is made only for service of utilities, and not designed for use as storage or any other use whatsoever.
3. If unenclosed on at least two sides, roofed areas such as patio covers, porches, trellises, gazebos, shade structures, or other similar unenclosed structures shall not count toward the calculation of floor area if not used for the shelter, housing, or enclosure of persons, animals, or property.
4. Enclosed spaces in nonresidential or mixed-use structures that contain “infrastructure” (e.g., mechanical equipment enclosures, vent shafts, trash and recycling enclosures, air conditioners, forced air units, electric vaults, water heaters and softeners, cellular telephone equipment, and other similar uses) shall not count toward the calculation of floor area if such areas are designed in the minimum size necessary to screen or enclose such equipment, and the space cannot be converted to storage or another non-infrastructure use.
5. Minor accessory structures that do not require a building permit for construction or installation.
6. Temporary structures permitted with a Temporary Use Permit. 12 FIGURE 30.15.070.A: MEASURING FLOOR AREA
30.15.080 Measuring Front Yards.
Front yards shall be measured by extending perpendicular lines from each point of a front lot line to the nearest wall of the first main building on the lot. Where there is no wall of a main building on the lot which intercepts said perpendicular lines, said yard will terminate at a point determined by extending a line parallel to the front lot line from the corner of the front elevation of the main building to the nearest lot line. The front elevation of a building is any elevation that faces a street.
A. Rounded Corners. If the corner of the front elevation is rounded (i.e., a tower), the corner of the elevation shall be established by drawing the smallest square or rectangle that will enclose the round element and extend the line from the corner of the superimposed square or rectangle that is closest to the front lot line.
13 FIGURE 30.15.080: MEASURING FRONT YARDS
14 30.15.090 Measuring Height and Stories.
A. Measuring Height Generally. Height is the vertical distance measured from existing or finished grade, whichever is lower, to the top of the structure directly above. Special measurement provisions are also provided below.
B. Measuring Building Height on Sloped Lots. Building height on sloped lots is measured from a warped plane connecting the perimeter of the building where it contacts the lower of existing or finished grade to every part of the building roof or parapet.
C. Height Exclusions.
1. Light Wells. The vertical portion of exterior doors, stairway landings, or light wells on a basement elevation are excluded from the height calculation if the cumulative total width does not exceed 12 feet per elevation.
2. Architectural Elements. Architectural elements that do not add floor area to a structure, such as chimneys, vents, antennae, open trellises that do not exceed 12 feet in height, rooftop equipment and associated screening, roof-mounted solar energy systems a maximum of three feet above the maximum height limit, roof decks that do not exceed 10 inches in height above the roof, guard rails for roof decks, and towers including stairway or elevator towers with minimum landings for egress are not considered a part of the height of a structure, but all portions of the roof and roof parapet are included.
3. Additional Height Allowances. See Section 30.140.100, Exceptions to Height Limitations.
15 FIGURE 30.15.090.B: MEASURING BUILDING HEIGHT ON SLOPED LOTS 16 D. Measuring the Height of Fences and Hedges. The height of a fence or hedge is measured in a vertical line from the lowest point of contact with the ground directly adjacent to both sides of the fence or hedge to the highest point of the fence or hedge along said vertical line.
1. Multiple Fences and Hedges. All fences and hedges located within five feet of each other, including fences and hedges on adjoining lots, shall be considered a single fence or hedge. The height of multiple fences and hedges that are subject to the same height limitation shall be measured from the lowest point of contact with the ground of a fence or hedge to the highest point of any other fence or hedge located within five feet. The horizontal separation shall be measured from the surfaces of the fences or hedges that face each other.
17 FIGURE 30.15.090.D: MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF FENCES AND HEDGES E. Determining Prescribed Landscape Height. The prescribed heights of landscape are the heights to be attained within five years after planting. 18 F. Measuring the Height of Decks and Patios. Deck and patio height is determined by measuring from the ground below to the top of the surface of the deck or patio directly above.
Guardrails, the minimum height required by the Building Code, are exempt from the height measurement.
FIGURE 30.15.090.F: MEASURING HEIGHT OF DECKS AND PATIOS G. Determining the Number of Stories in a Building. In determining the number of stories in a building or structure, the following rules apply:
1. The number of stories in a building or structure shall be construed to be the maximum number of stories through which any one of an unlimited number of possible vertical lines can pass, without passing through a wall.
2. An interior balcony or mezzanine is counted as a story if its floor area exceeds onethird of the total area of the nearest full floor directly below it.
3. Any floor which is partly below and partly above grade, such as a basement, cellar, or understory, shall be counted as a story if more than a cumulative total width of 12 feet per elevation has a distance from finished grade to ceiling greater than four feet. 19 4. An attic half-story, when applicable, is identified by “.5” in the description of maximum height. An attic half-story is not counted as a whole story when its top wall plates, on at least two opposite exterior walls, are less than four feet above the floor of such story.
FIGURE 30.15.090.G: DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF STORIES
30.15.100 Measuring Setbacks and Stepbacks.
Setbacks are measured as the distance between any lot line and a line parallel to the lot line the depth of such area being the distance required by this title.
A. Front Setbacks. If a portion of the property is located within a street dedication, the setback is measured from the boundary of the street dedication. 20 B. Upper Story Setbacks. Upper story setbacks shall apply to all portions of any upper story except as provided in Section 30.140.090, Encroachments into Setbacks and Open Yards.
C. Upper Story Stepbacks. Upper story stepbacks shall be measured at the required setback line. For example, if the setback is 15 feet, with a 5-foot stepback, the portion of the building subject to the stepback shall be stepped back a minimum of 5 feet from the 15-foot setback line (i.e., 20 feet from the property line). Upper story stepbacks apply to all portions of any upper story except as provided in Section 30.140.090, Encroachments into Setbacks and Open Yards. Recessed areas on interior upper story stepbacks may not be used as a balcony, deck, terrace, or other usable space.
D. Multiple Required Setbacks. If there are multiple required setbacks, the more restrictive applies.

30.15.120 Screening.
These standards provide methods for the screening and buffering of surface parking, mechanical equipment, and any other objects or land uses as required by this code to minimize visual, noise, and privacy impacts to surrounding properties and rights-of-way.
A. Screening Generally. Unless otherwise stated in this section, objects and activities are considered “screened” when they are either not publicly visible, as defined in Section 30.300.160 “P” of this code, or behind a solid six-foot-high fence or hedge where such fence or hedge is otherwise allowed by zoning. Screening shall be required for the repair, rehabilitation, expansion, new installation, or relocation of any object or land use to be screened. 22 B. Uncovered Parking. Uncovered automobile parking shall be screened, in locations as specified by Section 30.175.060, Location of Required Automobile and Bicycle Parking, consistent with one of the following:
1. On a site with four or fewer automobile parking spaces, uncovered parking must be screened from public view, except at driveways necessary for ingress and egress, by a solid fence, wall, driveway gate, or a compact evergreen hedge, with a maximum height between 5 and 6 feet and a minimum distance of 10 feet from the front lot line. The area between the lot line and such fence or wall must be landscaped; or
2. If located more than 35 feet from a front lot line, and includes no more than four automobile parking spaces, uncovered parking is considered screened by the distance from the front lot line; or
3. On a site with five or more automobile parking spaces, applicable fence and landscape buffers, consistent with Section 30.175.080 Parking Area Landscape and Fence Standards, must be provided for screening.
C. Trash and Recycling. Trash and recycling containers must be screened and located in compliance with the standards in Section 30.140.240, Waste, Recycling, and Outdoor Storage.
D. Screening Materials. Screening may include fences and walls, landscape, equipment painted to match the building, building parapets, or other architectural elements in the building’s architectural style.
E. Screening Height. All screen devices shall be as high as the highest point of the object being screened but shall not exceed applicable maximum height limitations. Screening height shall be measured as the vertical distance between the finished grade at the base of the screen and the top edge of the screen material.
F. Exceptions.
1. Solar energy (i.e., photovoltaic) panels and electric vehicle charging stations shall not be subject to the screening requirements described in this section. However, accessory power equipment associated with these systems shall be fully screened.
2. Where an applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the appropriate Design Review body that variations in the requirements of this section are warranted in order to provide relief for existing site constraints, or to achieve a superior aesthetic or environmental design, screening may be reduced or waived by the Design Review body. 23 FIGURE 30.15.120: SCREENING

F. Development Standards. No development in the area subject to this section shall be approved unless it is found that it will be consistent with the purposes set forth in Subsection
30.140.050.A, Purpose.
1. The Community Development Director, or the Planning Commission on appeal, shall consider the following in determining whether the development is consistent with Subsection 30.140.050.A, Purpose:
a. That the proposed new development, additions, alterations, and improvements, will not significantly reduce existing floodways, realign stream beds or otherwise adversely affect other properties by increasing stream velocities or depths, or by diverting the flow, and that the proposed new development will be reasonably safe from flow-related erosion and will not cause flow-related erosion hazards or otherwise aggravate existing flow-related erosion hazards. b. That proposed reconstruction of structures damaged by fire, flood or other calamities will comply with Subparagraph 1.a above, or be less nonconforming than the original structure and will not adversely affect other properties. c. The report, if any, of a qualified soils engineer or geologist and the recommendations of the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.
d. Whether denial of approval would cause severe hardship or prohibit the reasonable development and use of the property.
26 2. The Community Development Director, or the Planning Commission on appeal, may consider the following factors as mitigating possible hazards which might otherwise result from such development:
a. Where the development is located on a bank of the creek which is sufficiently higher than the opposite bank to place the development outside a flood hazard area.
b. Where the creek bed adjacent to the development is sufficiently wide or the creek bank slope sufficiently gradual that the probability of flood hazard is reduced. c. Where approved erosion or flood control facilities or devices have been installed in the creek bed adjacent to the development. d. Where the ground level floor of the development is not used for human occupancy and has no solid walls.
e. Where the development is set on pilings so that the first occupied floor lies above the 100-year flood level, and such pilings are designed to minimize turbulence.
3. The Staff Hearing Officer, or the Planning Commission on appeal, may grant a Modification to required Open Yards or setbacks required by the applicable zone, pursuant to Chapter 30.250, Modifications, in order to enable a structure to comply with the Development Limitation Area in Subsection 30.140.050.C, or to be relocated to a safer or more appropriate location on the lot.

The intent of this chapter is to provide incentives for the development of housing affordable to very-low income, lower income, senior and other qualifying households (hereinafter referred to collectively in this chapter as “affordable housing development”). State law mandates the provision of density bonuses to senior, very-low, and lower income households under certain circumstances.
The City of Santa Barbara has created a separate density bonus program for certain other households. This chapter also establishes conditions and procedures for processing streamlined and by-right housing projects consistent with State law. If any portion of this Chapter conflicts with any applicable State law, State law shall supersede this Chapter. Any ambiguities in this Chapter shall be interpreted to be consistent with State law. Statutory references in this ordinance include successor provisions.
30.145.020 Density Bonus Under State Law.
If a project meets the criteria of State law, the project shall be granted a density bonus and incentives or concessions as required by State law and processed as required by State law unless otherwise requested by the applicant.
A. Qualifying Housing Developments. Qualifying Housing Developments are as defined in Government Code § 65915.
B. Unit Size. Affordable units shall be comparable in size and provide at least the same average number of bedrooms as the non-affordable units.
30 C. Childcare Facility Density Bonus. When an applicant proposes to construct a housing development that conforms to the requirements of the State density bonus law and includes a childcare facility other than a family day care home that will be located on the premises of, as part of, or adjacent to the project, the City shall grant additional density bonus or additional concession or incentive as required by State law.
D. Procedure.
1. Determination of Qualification. The applicant shall submit the project for review by the Community Development Director to determine whether the project meets the criteria set forth in State density bonus law.
2. Density Bonus and Development Incentives. The density bonus, development incentives, and processing shall be provided as required in Government Code § 65915.
3. Review Procedure. A project which meets all the requirements of State law shall be processed pursuant to the applicable discretionary or objective design review procedure, subject to the following exceptions:
a. Density Modification Not Required. When the State density bonus requested is no more than the density bonus mandated by State law, the project shall be deemed exempt from the requirement for a density modification pursuant to Chapter 30.250, Modifications.
b. Other Discretionary or Objective Design Review Required. State density bonus projects shall be subject to any other discretionary or objective design review procedure applicable to multi-unit residential uses of the same type in the same zone. c. Decision. The Community Development Director shall determine whether a project and its requested concessions, incentives and development standard waivers are consistent with State density bonus law.
30.145.030 Density Bonus Under City Program.
A. Qualifying Housing Developments. When a developer proposes an affordable housing development which is not proposed under the State law criteria and requests a density bonus, the project shall comply with the City’s density bonus program, adopted by resolution in the City of Santa Barbara Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures Manual.
B. Procedure.
31 1. Density Modification Required. If the proposed project is determined to be consistent with the criteria of the City’s density bonus program, it shall be processed with a density modification pursuant to Chapter 30.250, Modifications, and any other discretionary review procedure (e.g., design review, development plan) applicable to multi-unit residential uses of the same type in the same zone.
2. No Automatic Concessions. The City density bonus program does not include automatic concessions, incentives, or development standard waivers. However, the proposed project may apply for a modification of any applicable standard as allowed pursuant to Chapter 30.250, Modifications.
C. Relationship to State Density Bonus Law. If an applicant requests a density bonus pursuant to § 65915 of the California Government Code, the proposed project may not also use the density bonus under the City program.
30.145.035 Affordable Housing Streamlined Approval.
This section shall remain in effect for the same period as provisions contained in Government Code § 65913.4. Any provisions that are not extended by the State Legislature shall be repealed as of the date those provisions in Government Code § 65913.4 are deemed null and void. Applications under this section will be accepted by the City for review until the time the State statute expires or is repealed.
A. Qualifying Streamlined Housing Projects. Qualifying streamlined housing projects are as defined in Government Code § 65913.4.
B. Exempt From Discretionary Review. Qualifying streamlined housing projects shall be exempt from all City discretionary review including, but not limited to, any required pre-application or concept review; discretionary action on a tentative map; and discretionary design review, provided that the project conforms with all applicable objective provisions of State law, the Municipal Code, the General Plan, and this section. Except that, if the project is in the coastal zone, an application for a Coastal Development Permit shall be submitted as required by Chapter 30.210, Coastal Permits.
C. Objective Design and Development Standards. Any lot developed with a qualifying streamlined housing project shall comply with all objective land use regulations, citywide regulations, development standards, and design review standards, including the Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS) in Title 25 of this code in effect at the time a complete application is submitted, applicable to a residential multi-unit or mixed-use project within the zoning district in 32 which the lot is located, including, but not limited to, residential density, setbacks, height, and open yard, as described in Santa Barbara Municipal Code.
1. Exceptions Prohibited. A streamlined housing project may not include a request for an exception to these objective standards by applying for a variance, modification, exception, waiver, or other discretionary approval for height, density, setbacks, open yard, land use, development plan approval, or similar development standard, other than concessions, incentives, or development standard waivers granted as part of State density bonus law.
D. Review Process.

When nonconforming parking becomes more conforming, the right to continue shall only be applicable to the most conforming parking configuration. b. Substantial Redevelopment and Replacement of Existing Structures. Existing structures on lots that are nonconforming to the minimum number of automobile parking spaces may be demolished or substantially redeveloped and rebuilt without conforming to the minimum number of automobile parking spaces, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
i. The use of the new or reconstructed structure is the same Use Classification as the existing structure.
ii. All conditions specified in Section 30.165.080, Substantial Redevelopment and Replacement of Demolished Nonconforming Structures, are met.
38 iii. Any new, altered, or reconstructed parking area and landscape area conforms to all standards in Section 30.175.090, Parking Area Design and Development Standards, and Section 30.175.080, Parking Area Landscape and Fence Standards.
c. Nonconforming Bicycle Parking.
i. Sites that are nonconforming to the minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required by this chapter shall provide conforming long term and short term bicycle parking for all new structures constructed, reconstructed, or when any addition, alteration, or change of use results in a requirement for additional automobile parking spaces.
ii. Bicycle parking shall also be required on any project that includes a change of use, substantial exterior remodel, or alteration to the existing parking areas. Nonresidential bicycle parking provided pursuant to this paragraph may be provided in a short term configuration. d. Nonconforming Parking Lot Landscaping. Sites that are nonconforming to the parking lot landscaping required by this chapter shall provide conforming landscaping for any new, altered, or reconstructed parking areas for the area that is altered. If conforming landscaping would result in a reduction of required automobile parking spaces, an alternative landscape design may be approved by the applicable Design Review body, pursuant to Subsection 30.175.080.E, Alternative Landscape Designs.
4. Determination of Number of Spaces. If the City discovers unpermitted or unauthorized site development affecting parking or parking configuration during application review, or when the permit record is unclear, the Community Development Director shall have the authority to determine the number of existing conforming or nonconforming automobile and bicycle parking spaces for a site based on the requirements of this chapter.
Elements to be considered when making this determination include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. The current, actual, physical configuration of existing parking spaces located on the site, including any site constraints not previously or accurately identified on any issued Building Permit, such as topography, lot dimensions, and building locations;
39 b. Whether existing parking spaces are consistent with the City Access and Parking Design Standards; and
c. The dimensions of an existing garage or carport, including the existence of any obstructions, and the width of the garage or carport opening.
30.175.030 General Provisions.
A. Permit Required. A permit is required to establish any new driveway, parking area, or vehicle maneuvering area or for any change to an existing driveway, parking area, or vehicle maneuvering area.
B. Off-Street Parking Required. Whenever automobile or bicycle parking spaces are required pursuant to this chapter, they shall be located off-street.
C. Conversion or Demolition of Parking. Any permit to allow the conversion, demolition, or substantial redevelopment of any required automobile or bicycle parking space shall not be approved unless replacement parking is included under the same permit.
D. New and Existing Parking Areas. All new, reconstructed or altered driveways, parking areas, or vehicle maneuvering areas shall be designed and developed consistent with the standards of this chapter and the City Access and Parking Design Standards. These standards shall apply to both required and voluntary parking spaces. All paved areas and structures accessible to vehicles shall be reviewed as potential parking areas. No vehicle shall be stored or parked on a lot in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of this chapter.
E. Minimum Size of Nonconforming Two Car Garage or Carport. If an existing garage or carport legally constructed with a Building Permit has an exterior dimension less than 16 feet wide, it is considered physically unsuitable for two cars and shall be considered a single car garage or carport.
F. Timing of Construction. All parking facilities required by this chapter shall be constructed or installed prior to passing final inspection or the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the uses that they serve.
G. Parking and Loading to be Maintained. All required parking and loading spaces shall be maintained in amount, design, and location, unless equivalent substitute facilities are approved and provided.
H. Availability. All parking required by this chapter must be available for its intended purpose during business hours for all nonresidential uses and at all times for residential uses, and shall remain 40 accessible and available to all occupants and patrons of uses and structures. In no event shall parking facilities that are required for a structure or use be considered as providing any of the required parking spaces for any other structure or use.
I. Accessible Parking. Each lot where automobile parking is provided for the public as clients, guests, or employees shall include automobile parking accessible to disabled persons, in compliance with the Building Code.
1. New Structures and New Land Uses. Accessible parking spaces must be provided in addition to the minimum number of automobile parking spaces required if both of the following apply:
a. One or fewer automobile parking spaces are required and provided for the new structure or new use; and
b. Signed, accessible, automobile parking spaces are required by the Building Code.
If voluntary automobile parking spaces are provided where there are no parking minimums, accessible parking shall be provided as required by the Building Code; however, the total number of parking spaces shall not exceed any maximum parking requirement.
2. Existing Structures and Existing Land Uses. The conversion of one or more existing automobile parking spaces to accessible uncovered automobile parking spaces, associated access aisles, and components of an accessible route (sloped walkways and ramps/landings/guard rails), is allowed, even if the conversion results in fewer automobile parking spaces on the lot than required, pursuant to the following:
a. Configuration. The accessibility improvement is designed and provided for persons with disabilities as required by the Building Code, on existing multi-unit residential, mixed-use, or nonresidential development.
b. Existing Development. This allowance is applicable to existing automobile parking spaces on existing development only, and shall not be used to provide fewer automobile parking spaces than are required for a project consisting of new or reconstructed structures.
c. Minimum Size. The accessibility improvement is the minimum size required by the Building Code.
41 d. Modifications. If the accessibility improvement does not meet these criteria, a Modification for reasonable accommodations will be made, if found to be consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act; see Chapter 30.250, Modifications.
J. Assigned Parking. Lots developed with multiple uses and a shared parking area shall not assign automobile and bicycle parking spaces to individual tenant spaces or uses, with the following exceptions:

3. When parking spaces are provided in tandem configuration or in mechanical lifts they may be required to be assigned to residential occupants, or individual tenant spaces or users, as determined by the Public Works Director.
K. Recorded Agreement. A Recorded Agreement, pursuant to Chapter 30.260, Recorded Agreements, shall be required by the Community Development Director whenever there is a special circumstance which requires a written agreement between one or more landowners and the City is required to guarantee permanent access to, or use of, any parking facility, loading area, driveway, or maneuvering area. Examples include, but are not limited to, offsite parking and maneuvering areas, or parking and maneuvering areas that overlap multiple property lines.
L. Commercial Vehicles. Parking of commercial vehicles on any lot developed solely with residential uses is limited to the time necessary to transact business or provide a service at a residence.

2. Two-Unit Residential, Condominium, Community Apartment, or Stock Cooperative. A minimum of one automobile parking space allocated to each unit shall be covered.
3. Designated Historic Resources. On any lot developed with a designated historic resource, uncovered automobile parking may be substituted for covered automobile parking, provided that the uncovered automobile parking complies with Section 30.175.060, Location of Required Parking and subject to approval by the appropriate Design Review body, and permeable pavers are used on any new paved areas, unless reduced or waived by the appropriate Design Review body.
4. All Other Uses. For all other uses, automobile parking spaces may be provided as either covered or uncovered. However, required automobile parking spaces for any nonresidential use shall not be allowed in individual garages or carports, unless the location and design are approved by the Public Works Director.

1. Mandatory Pre-Application Review. Pre-application review is required for the following projects:
a. Annexations.
b. Projects proposed in accordance with the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program, pursuant to Section 30.150.060, Pre-Application and Concept Review Required; except objective Housing Development Projects using Title 25 of this code are exempt from mandatory Pre-Application and Concept Review. c. General Plan and Zoning Amendments.

Applicants and their representatives shall be entitled to meet with the Pre-Application Review Team in order to discuss the recommendations and any identified issues. The Pre-Application Review Team is authorized to prepare and effect rules and procedures as necessary or convenient to carry on the Team’s business.
C. Pre-Application Review Team Members. Members of the Pre-Application Review Team shall consist of staff from various City Departments and Divisions responsible for reviewing development applications including but not limited to Building and Safety, Planning, Fire Prevention, Parks and Recreation, Creeks, Public Works Engineering, Water Resources, and Transportation.
D. Recommendations are Advisory. Neither the pre-application review nor the provision of information and pertinent policies shall be construed as a recommendation for approval or denial of the application by City representatives. Any recommendations that result from pre-application review are considered advisory only and shall not be binding on either the applicant or the City.
E. Expiration. Comments and recommendations from any pre-application review are valid for a period of 12 months from the date of the Pre-Application Review Team letter. If a project is substantially revised, or if applicable policies, regulations, or procedures change that could affect the recommendations or conclusions of the pre-application review, the Team may require a subsequent pre-application review prior to formal application submittal. If, however, there are no substantial changes to either the project or any relevant policies, regulations, and procedures, the Team may allow the submittal of an application for a development project up to a maximum of 24 months after the date of the Pre-Application Review Team letter.
30.205.035 Preliminary Housing Application. Consistent with the State Housing Crisis Act, an applicant may file a preliminary application as described in Government Code § 65941.1.
A. Applicability.
82 1. This section applies to qualifying Housing Development Projects meeting the definition of subdivision (b) of section 65905.5 of the Government Code.

B. Review Procedure.
1. If a preliminary application is filed, the preliminary application shall be deemed complete when all of the information listed in the preliminary application form is submitted.
2. Within 180 calendar days after submitting a complete preliminary application, an applicant shall submit a full application for the project. If a full application is not submitted within 180 calendar days, the preliminary application shall expire and have no further force or effect.
3. Qualifying projects for which a preliminary application was submitted shall only be subject to the ordinances, policies, fees and standards adopted and in effect when the preliminary application was submitted, except in the circumstances described in Government Code § 65589.5(o).
30.205.040 Concept Review.
Concept review provides an opportunity for early input from the applicable Design Review Body, Planning Commission, or Staff Hearing Officer to staff and applicants. It is an informal review where general information, questions, comments, and suggestions for further study may be made.
Comments made at the Concept Review level are not binding for future review. Concept Design Review is generally the first step in the Design Review process. The types of projects that may benefit most from other types of Concept Review tend to involve new or difficult issues, or large development projects.
A. Applicability.
1. Mandatory Concept Review. Concept review is required for the following projects:
a. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay Zone.
83 b. Projects proposed in accordance with the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program, pursuant to Section 30.150.060, Pre-Application and Concept Review Required; except Objective Housing Development Projects using Title 25 of this code are exempt from mandatory Pre-Application and Concept Review.
2. Optional Concept Review. Concept Review is optional for all other projects.
B. Review Procedure.
1. Concept Design Review. An applicant may request one or more Concept Design Review hearings to consult with the applicable Design Review body for guidance on the design of a proposed project.
a. Concept Design Review Comments Forwarded to Review Authority. If a project requires a discretionary land use approval in addition to Design Review, comments made during Concept Design Review will be part of the minutes forwarded to the Staff Hearing Officer, the Planning Commission, or the City Council (as applicable) to promote effective and appropriate communication between City decision-makers.
2. All Other Concept Reviews. The Planning Commission or Staff Hearing Officer shall review the project and associated materials and advise the applicant of project-related issues and concerns.
C. Application Requirements. Applications for Concept Review shall be filed with the Community Development Director in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 30.205.020, Application Forms and Fees. A conceptual plan shall be submitted showing generalized development proposals including, as applicable, lot sizes and open spaces proposed, proposed reductions or waivers, existing easements, existing neighborhood development, and any other information which may be reasonably required by the Community Development Director to aid and assist the Review Authority in an initial consideration.
D. Public Notice and Hearing. Applications for Concept Review shall require public notice and hearing pursuant to Section 30.205.070, Public Notice, and Section 30.205.080, Conduct of Public Hearings when the project is subject to public notice and hearing under the terms of this code.
E. Recommendations are Advisory. No formal action shall be taken by the Review Authority regarding the conceptual proposal and, therefore, comments may not be appealed. Any 84 recommendations that result from Concept Review shall be considered advisory only and shall not be binding on either the applicant or the City.
F. Expiration. Comments and recommendations from any Concept Review are valid for a period of 12 months from the date of the public hearing, subject to the same limitations and circumstances as described in Pre-Application Review, Section 30.205.030, above.
30.205.050 Review of Discretionary Applications.
A. Review Process. The Community Development Director shall determine whether a discretionary application is complete within 30 days of the date the application is filed with the required fee, pursuant to Government Code § 65943.
B. Concurrent Processing. With the exception of General Plan and Zoning Amendments, Local Coastal Program Amendments, Development Agreements, and Specific Plans, if an application requires more than one discretionary land use approval under this title, all applications shall be submitted, reviewed, heard, and acted upon concurrently by the highest applicable Review Authority.
C. Incomplete Application. If a discretionary application is incomplete, the Community Development Director shall provide written notification to the applicant listing the applications for permits, forms, material, information or additional fees that are necessary to complete the application.
1. Discovery of Potential Unlawful Conditions. If the City discovers unpermitted or unauthorized site development, uses, or structures during application review, the City will notify the applicant of the alleged violation.
a. Voluntary Compliance. If the applicant and the City agree on the nature and extent of the violation and the proposed correction, the violation will be corrected using one of the following methods as determined by the applicant:
i. Inclusion as part of the proposed project application; ii. Inclusion on a separate, concurrent application;
iii. Inclusion as a condition of project approval, which may specify a phasing program.
85 b. Referral to Enforcement. If the applicant and the City do not agree on the nature and extent of the violation or the proposed correction, or if the violation is not corrected as provided in subsection (C)(1)(a), the violation will be subject to formal enforcement action.
c. A discretionary application may be determined complete without a requirement for abatement of the violation; provided, however, that any approvals shall not constitute authorization for continuation of the violation, or waiver of, or estoppel against any future enforcement action.
2. Appeal of Determination. Determinations of discretionary application incompleteness are subject to the provisions of Section 30.205.150, Appeals.
3. Submittal of Additional Information. The applicant shall provide the additional information within 30 days or as specified by the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director may, for good cause, grant extensions of any time limit for review of applications imposed by this title.
a. If an applicant receives written notification that the application is incomplete, and a preliminary application per Section 30.205.035, Preliminary Housing Application, was submitted for a qualifying housing project, the applicant shall submit the information needed to complete the application within 90 calendar days of receiving the written notification of incompleteness. If the applicant does not submit this information within this timeframe, the preliminary application shall expire and have no further force or effect.
4. Expiration of Application. If an applicant fails to correct the specified application deficiencies within the specified time limit, the application shall expire and be deemed withdrawn. After the expiration of an application, project review shall require the submittal of a new, complete application, along with all required fees.
D. Complete Application. When a discretionary application is determined to be complete, the Community Development Director shall make a record of that date. The Director may require submittal of additional information for review of the project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
E. Review and Consideration.
86 1. Review Authority. Once a discretionary application is determined to be complete, and environmental review is completed, the application shall be considered and acted upon by the Review Authority as outlined in this chapter.
2. Findings. Findings, when required by State law or this title, shall be based upon consideration of the application, plans, testimony, reports, and other materials that constitute the administrative record and shall be stated in writing in the Record of Decision. The inability to make one or more of the required findings supported by substantial evidence in the record is grounds for denial of an application.
3. Approval of Development at a Lower Density.
a. Required Findings. Pursuant to California Government Code § 65863 (No Net Loss Law), prior to approving any project at a lower residential density than what was assumed in the sites inventory of the General Plan Housing Element, the Review Authority, at the time of approval, must make the following written findings, supported by substantial evidence in the record:
i. Remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to meet the City’s remaining regional housing need allocation (RHNA) for the planning period by income category; and
ii. The findings should include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s RHNA at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the Housing Element, to accommodate that need by income level.
b. Maintaining Housing Capacity. If the approval of a project at a lower residential density will result in the remaining sites capacity becoming inadequate to accommodate the RHNA by income category, the City shall identify additional adequate sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA.
4. Denial of an Objective Housing Development Project. If a qualifying Objective Housing Development Project, as described in Government Code § 65589.5(h)(2), complies with all applicable objective General Plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including the Objective Design Standards and Development Standards (ODDS) in Title 25 of this code, the Review Authority may only deny the project or conditionally approve the project at a lower density if the Review Authority makes written finding supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record that:
87 a. The housing development would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the housing development is denied or conditionally approved at a lower density. A "specific, adverse impact" means a "significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the project was deemed complete"; and
b. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact other than the denial of the housing development or conditional approval of the housing development at a lower density.
5. Denial of an Affordable Housing Project. See Section 30.145.050, Denial of Affordable Housing or Emergency Shelters.
30.205.060 Environmental Review.
All projects must be reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Environmental review will be conducted pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), and Chapter 22.100 Environmental Review of this code If Title 14 of the California Code is amended, such amendments will govern City procedures.

The site plan, floor plans, building elevations and any additional information or representations indicating the proposed structures, site development or manner of operation submitted with an application or submitted during the approval process shall be deemed conditions of approval.
C. Actions Subject to Enforcement. If the construction of a structure, or the use established, is contrary to either the conditions of approval or approved project description and plans, so as to either violate any provision of this title, or require additional permits or approvals, then the permit or approval shall be suspended and subject to possible revocation pursuant to Section 30.205.140, Revocation of Permits and Approvals, and enforcement pursuant to Section 30.205.160, Enforcement and Penalty.
D. Periodic Review. All approvals may be subject to periodic review to determine compliance with the permit and applicable conditions.

1. Exercised Defined. A permit or approval is exercised when:
a. A valid City building permit has been issued for work related to the approval and construction work has begun and been carried on diligently without substantial suspension or abandonment of work; or
b. If an approval does not require a permit for construction, alterations, or to establish a use, the approval shall be considered exercised when operations of the use authorized by the approval have commenced.
2. Time Period to Exercise a Permit or Approval. A permit or approval granted under this title shall be exercised within its initial approval period unless a time extension is granted pursuant to paragraph 3, Extensions, of this subsection, or as provided below. a. Initial Approval Period.

c. Exclusions of Time.
i. Moratorium or Litigation. The periods of time specified in this section shall not include any period of time during which either a development moratorium imposed by the City after the project received a permit or approval, is or was in effect; or a lawsuit involving the permit or approval for the project is or was pending in a court of competent jurisdiction. For this exclusion to operate, the moratorium must apply to an element of the project that received the permit or approval. The maximum length of any exclusion of time under this subsection shall be five years. 94 (1) Moratorium. Once a moratorium is terminated, the permit or approval shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the permit or approval at the time that the moratorium was imposed or 120 days from the termination of the moratorium, whichever is later.

96 A. Substantial Conformance. The Community Development Director may approve minor changes to approved projects that are found to be in substantial conformance with the original project description, findings and conditions; provided that, the minor changes would not increase the intensity of any aspect of the project that could have a potentially detrimental effect. Substantial Conformance Determinations shall be documented by the Director with a Record of Decision and the Director may request input from applicable City Departments or the original Review Authority for help in determining whether the request is consistent with the original approval pursuant to administrative procedures adopted by a resolution of the City Council.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: February 25, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Grant Funds and Increase in Design Contract for the Desalination Plant Offshore Pump Platform Stabilization Project [Resolution; Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute the Third Contract Amendment with Moffatt & Nichol, for design services for the Desalination Plant Offshore Pump Platform Stabilization Project, Contract No. 26,720, in the amount of $38,000 and authorize $10,000 for potential extra services, for a total expenditure authority of $342,140; and
B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Resolution No. 24-066, Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025, to Appropriate Funds for the Desalination Plant Offshore Pump Platform Stabilization Project.
DISCUSSION:
Background
In May 2017, the City of Santa Barbara’s (City) Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant went back into operation after nearly 16 years on standby mode. As part of the Desal Plant Reactivation Project, new pumps were placed in the existing offshore ocean intake platforms (Platforms A and B) to provide the seawater for the treatment plant. The platforms were constructed in 1991 when the Desalination (Desal) Plant was originally built. Not long after operations began, a series of major storms resulted in 18 inches of scour under Platform B, leaving it supported only by piers. The piers used to secure the structure from horizontal movement were not designed to support the structure elevated off the ocean floor. In reviewing the original 1991 design drawings, it was noted that both structures were to have been installed with rock armoring. For reasons unknown, that rock armoring was not installed, which is critical for preventing strong currents from scouring the ocean sand from under the structure.
