COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: 2025-2027 Fire Management Association Bargaining Unit Memorandum of Understanding and Amendment of Resolution No. 25-071, the Position and Salary Control Resolution for Fiscal Year 2026 [Resolution; Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Adopting the 2025-2027 Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Fire Management Association; and B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Resolution No. 25-071, the Position and Salary Control Resolution for Fiscal Year 2026, Affecting the Salaries of Certain Classifications in the Fire Management Association Effective September 23, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
Negotiators from the City and the Santa Barbara Fire Management Association (FMA) have reached a tentative agreement for a new Memorandum of Understanding covering the 24-month period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The agreement was ratified by the membership of the bargaining unit, which comprises five employees.
The Fire Management Agreement provides a 5.00% salary increase for 2025-26 and another 5.00% for 2026-2027 as provided for in the table below:
Date Salary Increase %
Following Council ratification (9/23/25) 5.00%
July 1, 2026 5.00%
In addition, and to avoid compaction between the FMA and the Firefighters Association (FFA), the MOU extends eligibility for professional certification pay and longevity pay to Agenda Item No. 2
File Code No. 440.02

2025-2027 Fire Management Association Bargaining Unit Memorandum of Understanding and Amendment of Resolution No. 25-071, the Position and Salary Control Resolution for Fiscal Year 2026 [Resolution; Agreement]
September 23, 2025
FMA members on the same basis as are provided to FFA members. This adjustment ensures that Fire Managers who hold and maintain the same qualifying certifications as represented staff will receive equivalent compensation, thereby recognizing the value of advanced professional development and preventing salary inversion or compression between supervisory and subordinate classifications. By aligning certification pay structures across the two Associations, the City continues to promote fairness, supports recruitment and retention of highly skilled personnel, and acknowledges the importance of professional advancement within the Fire Department. The professional certification pay is capped at 17% while the longevity pay is capped at 8%.
Additionally, the inclusion of certification and longevity pay places the FMA total compensation package in alignment with other comparable agencies by bringing overall compensation closer to the market average. As such, these adjustments address both internal equity and external competitiveness, reducing the need for further market equity adjustments.
Other changes effective with this agreement include an increase to the City contribution toward employee benefits of $1,978 per month matching other bargaining units and limited reopeners on the issues of establishing a Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP), Health Care Trust, a 401(a) plan, and establishing a definition of compaction.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The total cost of the Fire Manager’s Association agreement to the General Fund is estimated to be $348,888 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 and $497,757 in FY2027.
The adopted budget assumed a 5% salary increase assumption in FY2026 and a 4% salary increase assumption in FY2027. The cost of implementing this MOU exceeds the assumptions in the FY2026 and FY2027 budget. Staff are not requesting any additional expenditure appropriations at this time. Staff will monitor the Fire Department operating budget closely throughout the year to determine if additional expenditure appropriations may be needed. The General Fund adopted budget has a deficit of $1.6 Million in FY2026, and the deficit increases to $5.9 Million in FY2027, not accounting for contributions needed to restore the General Fund reserves to policy levels. The operating budget deficit may increase if additional revenues and/or expenditure control measures are not put in place to offset the additional costs associated with this MOU.

The City will report as compensation earnable the annual cash out for those employees who are normally required to work on an approved holiday because they work in positions that require scheduled staffing without regard to holidays to CalPERS.
However, reporting as compensation earnable of such compensation to CalPERS, will be in the period that the credit is earned. Treatment of holiday cash-out as compensation earnable will be determined by CalPERS on a case-by-case basis, subject to the limitations imposed by law, including but not limited to California Code of Regulation section 571(a). An employee who does not cash out holiday pay accrued during the year must bid to take the time off in the next year, and will not later be eligible to cash-out this time in lieu of taking time off.

Managers on the payroll July 1 (inclusive) 40 hours
Managers hired between July 2 and October 1 (inclusive) 30 hours Managers hired between October 2 and January 1 (inclusive) 20 hours Managers hired between January 2 and April 1 (inclusive) 10 hours A manager on a Leave of Absence without Pay on July 1st will receive the Management Leave hours (prorated) when s/he returns to work.

Use: Management Leave is scheduled like vacation. The leave provided by this program is not related to hours worked nor subject to accrual and may not be carried over beyond the end of the fiscal year. Upon resignation or termination, a manager will not be entitled to any payout of management leave. 13 Approval: Administration of this policy is subject to the discretion and approval of the department head, except for City Attorney or City Administrator appointment positions, which are subject to the discretion and approval of the City Attorney or City Administrator respectively. Final resolution of any disputes arising from this policy will rest with the City Attorney or City Administrator as appropriate.
D. Shift personnel will accrue holidays at the rate of one twelve (12) hour day per month. Personal Leave will be credited to each eligible employee on the first pay period in July or upon their date in rank.
E. If an employee’s accrued holiday bank exceeds 156 hours, the City shall have the option either to require the employee to take the excess holiday time off or to pay the employee for the excess hours at straight time.

A. After five (5) years of continuous service, a non-shift employee may accumulate additional “non-replenishable” sick leave at the rate of sixteen (16) hours at full salary for each additional year of continuous service. The maximum accumulation is two hundred and forty (240) hours and is not replenishable.
B. For shift personnel, after five (5) years of continuous service, an employee may accumulate additional “non-replenishable” sick leave at the rate of twenty-four (24) hours at full salary for each additional year of continuous service. The maximum accumulation is three hundred and sixty (360) hours and is not replenishable.
C. Non-replenishable sick leave hours may only be used after the employee’s entire regular sick leave bank is exhausted.
14 18. Catastrophic Leave
Employees will be eligible to donate vacation time to the applicable leave banks of full- time and part-time employees who are incapacitated due to a catastrophic illness or injury or who must care for a spouse or child who has a catastrophic illness or injury. The management catastrophic leave policy allows managers to donate vacation time to the applicable leave banks of full-time and part-time employees who are incapacitated due to a catastrophic illness or injury or who must care for a spouse or child who has a catastrophic illness or injury. A catastrophic illness or injury is a severe illness or injury which is unusual, unexpected, and immediate in nature; and which is expected to preclude an employee from returning to work for an extended period, during which the employee will exhaust all of his/her accumulated leave balances. Donated vacation time will be converted and credited to the recipient in equivalent hours of sick leave at the recipient's base hourly rate (e.g. employee A makes $20/hour and donates 1 hour of vacation time to employee B who earns $10/hour. Employee B's applicable leave bank is increased by 2 hours for each hour donated by A).
19. Maternity/Parental Leave
An employee may request to take pregnancy and/or parental leave as provided under the city’s “FMLA/CFRA family care and medical leave policy”, “maternity leave policy”, and/or “parental leave policy, or as provided under state or federal law.

The City and FMA will commit themselves to the goal of equal employment opportunity in all City services. Further, the Union agrees to encourage their members to assist in the implementation of the equal employment opportunity program.
c. The taking of FMLA leave, or other leaves of absence protected under state and federal law, will not be used as a negative factor in employment actions, such as hiring, promotions, or disciplinary actions, nor will such leave be counted as a negative factor under attendance policies, provided that the employee has complied with any and all notice and proof requirements applicable to such leave. d. Repeated discourteous treatment by any City employee of fellow coworkers may be reported to the supervisor or Human Resources. Such behavior, or retaliation against a coworker for reporting such behavior in good faith, may subject the employee to corrective action up to and including discipline. e. Complaints may also be made under the terms of the Citywide Violence in the Workplace Policy (contained in the Injury and Illness Prevention Program) or Non-discrimination and Harassment Policy, as appropriate. 15 21.

If approved the request shall be based on the following schedule:
During such period of extra leave, the employee shall receive an amount equal to 50% of his/her regular salary
C. Non-Medical Leave: Employees may also request a personal leave of absence of up to one year for non-medical reasons under the City’s Leave of Absence Without Pay (Non-medical reasons) Policy. A sabbatical may constitute a reason for a leave of absence. An approved leave of absence without pay will not constitute a break in continuous service.
22. Bereavement
In case of death of a member of an employee's immediate family, a 40-hour employee shall be granted five (5) working days (40 hours) with pay, up to a maximum of five (5) days (40 hours), subject to the approval of the Department Head.

Treatment of holiday cash-out as compensation earnable will be determined by CalPERS on a case-by-case basis, subject to the limitations imposed by law, including but not limited to California Code of Regulation section 571(a). An employee who does not cash out holiday pay accrued during the year must bid to take the time off in the next year, and will not later be eligible to cash-out this time in lieu of taking time off.

Final resolution of any disputes arising from this policy will rest with the City Attorney or City Administrator as appropriate.
D. Shift personnel will accrue holidays at the rate of one twelve (12) hour day per month. Personal Leave will be credited to each eligible employee on the first pay period in July or upon their date in rank.

Employees will be eligible to donate vacation time to the applicable leave banks of full- time and part-time employees who are incapacitated due to a catastrophic illness or injury or who must care for a spouse or child who has a catastrophic illness or injury. The management catastrophic leave policy allows managers to donate vacation time to the applicable leave banks of full-time and part-time employees who are incapacitated due to a catastrophic illness or injury or who must care for a spouse or child who has a catastrophic illness or injury. A catastrophic illness or injury is a severe illness or injury which is unusual, unexpected, and immediate in nature; and which is expected to preclude an employee from returning to work for an extended period, during which the employee will exhaust all of his/her accumulated leave balances. Donated vacation time will be converted and credited to the recipient in equivalent hours of sick leave at the recipient's base hourly rate (e.g. employee A makes $20/hour and donates 1 hour of vacation time to employee B who earns $10/hour. Employee B's applicable leave bank is increased by 2 hours for each hour donated by A).

The City and FMA will commit themselves to the goal of equal employment opportunity in all City services. Further, the Union agrees to encourage their members to assist in the implementation of the equal employment opportunity program.
c. The taking of FMLA leave, or other leaves of absence protected under state and federal law, will not be used as a negative factor in employment actions, such as hiring, promotions, or disciplinary actions, nor will such leave be counted as a negative factor under attendance policies, provided that the employee has complied with any and all notice and proof requirements applicable to such leave. d. Repeated discourteous treatment by any City employee of fellow coworkers may be reported to the supervisor or Human Resources. Such behavior, or retaliation against a coworker for reporting such behavior in good faith, may subject the employee to corrective action up to and including discipline. e.

During such period of extra leave, the employee shall receive an amount equal to 50% of his/her regular salary
C. Non-Medical Leave: Employees may also request a personal leave of absence of up to one year for non-medical reasons under the City’s Leave of Absence Without Pay (Non-medical reasons) Policy.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Design Support Extra Services for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Resiliency Project [Agreement] RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute the Second Contract Amendment with Carollo Engineers Inc., for design services for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Resiliency Project, Contract No. 26,976, in the amount of $208,468, for a total expenditure authority of $1,546,974.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The existing Cater Water Treatment Plant (Cater WTP) Clear Well was constructed in 1962. The Clear Well serves as a reservoir for storing filtered water and allows for sufficient chlorine contact time for disinfection. The Clear Well also provides storage capacity to meet varying water system demand. The existing Clear Well is a buried concrete structure with a maximum operating storage volume of approximately five million gallons (MG). The Cater WTP Reservoir Resiliency Project (Project) will install a new 2.5- MG reservoir adjacent to the existing Clear Well to address operational improvements needed at Cater WTP. The Project will address several operational concerns, including improving chlorine contact time for the disinfection process, providing the ability to bypass the existing Clear Well for maintenance purposes, and enhancing the system’s resiliency by improving storage and supply-balancing capabilities. The Project includes seismic retrofitting of the existing Clear Well.
Current Status
In June 2021, Council approved Professional Services Agreement No. 26,976 with Carollo Engineers Inc. (Carollo) for the Project’s design. In October 2022, Council authorized staff to apply for a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Installment Agreement to fund the Project’s planning, design, and construction. Council also determined that the Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in February 2023. In June 2023, Council approved the first increase to Agreement No.
Agenda Item No. 3
File Code No. 540.1
Council Agenda Report
Contract Amendment for Design Support Extra Services for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Resiliency Project [Agreement]
September 23, 2025
26,976 in the amount of $436,000. In April 2024, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Mimiaga Engineering Group Inc., (MEG) for the pre-bid construction review of the Project. In July 2025, Council adopted an ordinance to execute the DWSRF Installment Sale Agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board to fund the Project.
The Project’s design is currently 90% complete. Through the final design phase, additional changes were identified and added to the scope of the Project. These changes and additions include an assessment and preliminary design of a battery backup system as part of a future solar power installation, along with designing a replacement of the two backup generator units and building HVAC units. As a result, additional design services by Carollo are needed to complete the Project’s design. A construction contract for the Project is anticipated to be advertised later this calendar year, with construction expected to begin in early 2026.
Staff recommend that Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute the Second Contract Amendment with Carollo for design services for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Resiliency Project, Contract No. 26,976, in the amount of $208,468 for a total expenditure authority of $1,546,974.

Total Project Cost $40,560,288
Council Agenda Report
Contract Amendment for Design Support Extra Services for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Resiliency Project [Agreement]
September 23, 2025
If the recommendation is approved, Carollo’s total design services contract expenditure authority will be increased to $1,546,974. The initial extra services authorization of $82,050 will remain available.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Water Capital Fund budget in Fiscal Year 2026 to cover remaining Project design costs. A DWSRF loan agreement has been executed to fund the Project’s construction and to reimburse the City for planning and design costs.
A copy of the amendment may be requested from the Public Works Department for public review by contacting [email protected].
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Cater is a critical facility for maintaining regional drinking water quality and supply. This Project will increase the reliability of the treatment process and resiliency of the facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On February 14, 2023, Council determined that the Project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines § 15301 (b) (d) Existing Facilities and § 15302 (c) Replacement or Reconstruction categorical exemptions. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk of the Board on February 15, 2023, and posted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH) the same day. The SCH number is 2023020382.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Consider and deny the appeal filed by the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11, of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 E.
Cabrillo Blvd. Hotel Expansion Project; and
B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Denying the Appeal of the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on Behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11, and Upholding the Decision of the Planning Commission to Approve the Project at 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the hotel expansion project for the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort on May 15, 2025. A timely appeal was filed by the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11, on May 27, 2025.
The appeal letter states that the Planning Commission’s approval should be reversed because it relied on an expired Development Agreement (DA) and failed to comply with applicable Lower Cost Overnight Accommodations policies (See Attachment 1 – Appeal Letter). This report provides evidence that the DA has not expired and that the proposed project is consistent with coastal polices related to lower cost overnight accommodations; therefore, staff recommends that Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval.

Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort is located on a 23.56-acre lot at 633 E.
Cabrillo Blvd. and comprises 329,780 square feet of floor area. The resort includes 360 guest rooms, a lobby, meeting/banquet space, restaurants, bars, spa, salon, retail shop, back of house areas (e.g., offices, storage rooms), swimming pool, tennis courts, and 931 parking spaces.
The proposed project (PLN2022-00443) consists of: a 50,195-square-foot addition to Building B (Bougainvillea), as well as the removal of two guest rooms and the reconfiguration of six guest rooms in Building B; demolition of Building A (Azalea), a 4,027-square-foot building with eight guest rooms; and demolition of the tennis courts and 240-square-foot tennis shop. The total number of guest rooms would increase from 360 to 433 guest rooms (a net increase of 73 guest rooms). The total square footage of the hotel would increase from 329,780 square feet to 375,708 square feet (a net increase of 45,928 square feet).
The proposed project also includes lanai pools, swimming pool, spa, outdoor fire pit lounge area with bar, new landscaping, storm water improvements, soil and groundwater remediation, and public improvements. A total of 22 trees would be removed, 33 trees would be relocated, 47 trees would be protected, and 50 new trees would be planted.
The total number of vehicle parking spaces on-site would be reduced from 931 spaces to 880 spaces. The adjacent Waterfront Hotel (not yet constructed at 433 E. Cabrillo Blvd.) has been allocated 100 of the spaces through an existing parking easement agreement, resulting in a total of 780 parking spaces available for the Hilton hotel project. Valet parking during peak events would provide an additional 71 parking spaces. Bicycle parking spaces would increase from 58 to 100.
Development would occur in the westerly portion of the project site, towards S. Calle Cesar Chavez, except for installation of stormwater improvements and repaving of some parking areas, which would occur in the northern portion of the site.
For additional project details, see Attachment 2 – Project Plans; Attachment 3 – Planning Commission Staff Report; Attachment 4 – Planning Commission Minutes; and Attachment 5 – Planning Commission Resolution.
Planning Commission Approval
On May 15, 2025, the Planning Commission granted approval of the following discretionary land use entitlements in support of the project:
Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
1. A Parking Modification to allow less than the required number of vehicle and bicycle parking spaces;
2. A Development Plan to allow the construction of 2,810 square feet of net new nonresidential floor area allocated from the minor and small addition categories;
3. A Development Plan for a Transfer of Existing Development Rights Permit to transfer 43,118 square feet from the Waterfront Hotel (433 E.
Cabrillo Blvd.) to the project site;
4. A Coastal Development Permit to allow the proposed development in the Appealable and Non-Appealable Jurisdiction of the City’s Coastal Zone; and
5. Consideration of an Addendum to a previously certified Environmental Impact Report.
On May 27, 2025, an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval was filed by the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11.
Historic Landmarks Commission Approval
On July 30, 2025, the Historic Landmarks Commission granted Project Design Approval (see Attachment 6 – HLC Minutes). No appeal was filed for this action. Final Design Approval by the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) is pending the outcome of the appeal hearing.
Background
The development history of the Fess Parker waterfront property in Santa Barbara encompasses several key milestones, beginning in 1981 with approval of the Park Plaza Specific Plan, which allowed development of a hotel and conference center on Parcel A (the subject Hilton site), and development of a public park, recreational facilities and public parking on Parcels B and C. In 1986, a 360-room hotel and conference center was built on Parcel A, the subject Hilton site. In 1994, the City Council adopted an Amended Specific Plan that allowed for the development of a 150-room hotel on Parcel B (Waterfront Hotel) and a park on Parcel C (Chase Palm Park) and also required the development of a 100-bed youth hostel (a lower-cost overnight accommodation). Among other requirements, the Parker Family deeded land to the City for the park and continues to make annual monetary contributions for maintenance of the park. The Waterfront Hotel has received land use entitlements but has not been constructed. The youth hostel at 12 E. Montecito St., however, was completed in 2014.
Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
A Development Agreement for construction of the Waterfront Hotel (“Waterfront DA”) was entered into between the City and American Tradition, LLC (owner of the Waterfront Hotel Project) on May 24, 2016, and extended the timeline for construction of the Waterfront Hotel. The Development Agreement also allowed for consideration of a smaller hotel than originally contemplated on that site and documented that development rights for nonresidential square footage not constructed could be transferred to another site.
Refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 3) and Development Agreement (Attachment 7) for a more detailed history.
APPEAL DISCUSSION
The appeal letter, dated May 27, 2025, was filed by the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11. UNITE HERE (Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees) Local 11 represents hospitality workers in southern California and Arizona.
The appeal letter states that the Planning Commission’s approval should be reversed because the Waterfront DA had expired and the Hilton Project fails to comply with applicable Lower Cost Overnight Accommodations (LCOA) policies. The appeal letter presents 17 appeal issues, which are discussed below.
Appeal Issues Related to the Development Agreement
1. Appeal Issue: Waterfront DA is expired under the plain language of the text.
The term of the Waterfront DA is discussed in Section 4.
Section 4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the effective date of the Enacting Ordinance (“Effective Date”). The term of this Agreement shall extend for a period of five (5) years after the Effective Date (“Term”), unless said Term is terminated, modified or extended by circumstances set forth in this Agreement or by mutual consent of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 11 shall extend for an additional period of two (2) years after the Term of this Agreement (“Section 11 Term”).
The Waterfront DA allows for time extensions under Section 21.
Section 21. Permitted Extensions by City. In addition to any extensions of time otherwise provided in this Agreement, the City, in its sole discretion and acting through its Community Development Director or his or her designee, may extend the time for performance by the Parker Family of any obligation hereunder. Any such extension shall not require an amendment to this Agreement, so long as such extension only involves the time for performance thereof and does not change the obligations to be performed by the Parker Family as a condition of such extension.
Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
The Waterfront DA had an effective date of June 23, 2016, and has not expired. Five extensions have been granted by the Community Development Director since 2016. The most recent time extension was requested on August 12, 2025 and was granted in September 2025, extending the term from December 23, 2025, to December 23, 2027.
2. Appeal Issue: Waterfront DA extensions apply to Applicant performances, not options.
The time extensions apply to the term of the DA. The time extensions do not change any obligations to be performed by the Parker Family under the DA, nor do they result in any substantive changes to the DA.
3. Appeal Issue: Applicant’s vested right to build the Waterfront Hotel is a separate issue from whether Applicant has timely exercised its option to apply for a Transfer of Existing Development Rights (TEDR).
4. Appeal Issue: The plain language of the DA makes clear that TEDR was subject to specific time requirements.
5. Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence shows that the option was not timely exercised.
Section 11 Transfer of Existing Development Rights of the Waterfront DA is clear.
American Tradition, LLC has a vested right to develop 142,647 square feet of nonresidential floor area on the Waterfront Hotel property. The Waterfront DA allows American Tradition, LLC to transfer a maximum of 66,834 square feet of that Approved Floor Area to one or more receiving sites through the Transfer of Existing Development Rights (TEDR) process. Not only does American Tradition, LLC have the ability to transfer Approved Floor Area from the Waterfront Hotel property to one or more receiving sites during the term of the Waterfront DA, but they also are entitled to continue to process any application for the transfer of Approved Floor Area from the Waterfront Hotel property that is filed before expiration of the Waterfront DA, if that were to occur. The applicant for the Hilton project submitted a TEDR application during the time that the Waterfront DA was in effect, and based on the approved time extensions, the Waterfront DA is still in effect.
The appeal letter refers to the project completeness determination date of September 27, 2024, and the applicant’s April 2025 letter requesting the TEDR, and incorrectly contends that the applicant did not request the TEDR in a timely manner. The applicant paid fees for the TEDR request on November 11, 2022, as part of their initial project submittal. It is standard practice for an applicant to provide an updated letter to be attached to the Planning Commission staff report that explains the project and requested approvals; hence, the April 2025 letter for the May 15, 2025, Planning Commission hearing.
Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
The appellant has not provided any evidence that the Waterfront DA is being implemented incorrectly.
6. Appeal Issue: Failure to conduct annual DA reviews is substantial evidence of City staff’s lax enforcement and monitoring of mandatory conditions.
Staff has consistently reviewed and monitored the Waterfront Hotel project since the effective date of the Waterfront DA in 2016 (and before). There have been approximately 17 Historic Landmarks Commission design review hearings held on the project between 2016 and 2020. Planning Commission hearings were held in 2018 and 2020 to discuss Substantial Conformance Determination requests for the project. Building permit applications were submitted in 2020 and three rounds of plan check were conducted by staff between 2020 and the present. In addition, the Parker Family has made the annual park maintenance payments as required under Section 8.4 of the Waterfront DA.
The appellant has not provided any evidence that the City has failed to review the Waterfront DA and monitor the project under the DA.
Response to Appeal Issues Related to Lower Cost Overnight Accommodations
7. Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence demonstrates that a 100-bed hostel was not constructed and operated in the first place.
8. Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence suggests that the purported 100-bed hostel is not available at the Moxy Hotel, which operates as a high-end boutique hotel instead.
9. Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence demonstrates that the Hostel Property is not offering LCOAs but instead high-cost rooms under well-established California Coastal Commission methodology.
10.Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence demonstrates the Hostel Property has not been constructed, developed, and maintained solely and exclusively as a 100-bed hostel per the DA or maintained in perpetuity for such purposes.
11.Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence LCOA mitigation is illusory and unenforced, which cannot be deferred to speculative investigation by the City, while the City proceeds to approve the Project.
12.Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence that the City can consider objective and qualitative measures to ensure LCOA mitigation is enforceable.
The Planning Commission staff report summarizes how the project is consistent with Coastal Act Section 30213 and LUP Policy 3.2-12 regarding lower cost visitor and recreational facilities. The Waterfront DA was drafted to clearly state that the obligation to provide lower-cost visitor accommodations for the Waterfront Hotel was met. It is also clear that if some of the Approved Floor Area is transferred from the Waterfront Hotel Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
property to the Hilton Hotel property, “the City shall take into consideration and give appropriate credit to the Parker Family for those fees, dedications and public improvements made by the Parker Family in satisfaction of its obligations under Development Agreement No. 1, including without limitation its provision of lower-cost visitor accommodations through development of the Hostel, provision of parks and open space through the dedication of the Park Parcel and ongoing annual payments to the City of park maintenance fees.” The intended purpose of this provision was to state that there is no additional obligation for the Hilton to provide lower cost visitor or recreational facilities beyond what has already been provided.
As discussed in the Planning Commission staff report, in 1994, the City Council adopted an Amended Park Plaza Specific Plan, which required the development of a 100-bed youth hostel (a lower-cost overnight accommodation). Building permits were issued and construction on the hostel was completed in 2014 at 12 E. Montecito Street. As noted in Section 8.3 of the Waterfront DA, the City cannot require any additional fees, dedications or expenditures related to the hostel.
8.3. Provision of a Hostel. The City hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Parker Family has fully satisfied the requirements of the Amended Specific Plan, Existing City Laws and any additional requirements or mitigation measures that may be applicable to any development of the Hotel Parcel or the Parking Lot Parcel pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation any development pursuant to a New Development Proposal, related to the accommodation or construction of a hostel by and through development of the Hostel at 12 E.
Montecito Street. The City shall not require as a condition of approval or otherwise for development of the Hotel Parcel or the Parking Lot Parcel any additional fees, dedications or expenditures by the Parker Family related to the accommodation or construction of a hostel or affordable or lower-cost visitor accommodations.
The Amended Park Plaza Specific Plan (Resolution No. 94-030) does state that “the hostel shall meet the criteria for a superior grade hostel facility equivalent to that established by the American Youth Hostel Association; and that the hostel shall be dedicated to a public agency or private organization which will own and operate it in perpetuity as a hostel.” However, as noted above in Section 8.3, the applicant has no further obligations regarding the hostel; therefore, any current conditions regarding hostel compliance are irrelevant to this application.
The hostel constructed at Montecito Street received separate land use and design review approvals from the City. Although not relevant to this current project under appeal, City staff has initiated a review of the operation of the hostel to confirm compliance with their conditions of approval under Planning Commission Resolution No. 027-95 and any subsequent Substantial Conformance Determinations.

Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
13.Appeal Issue: Substantial Evidence that the City did not consider LCOA mitigation for at least nine (9) new high-cost hotel units.
The appeal issue relates to the fact that that more rooms were added to the Hilton expansion than were removed from the Waterfront Hotel approval. Section 11 of the Waterfront DA specifically provides that the Waterfront Hotel has the right to develop 142,647 square feet of nonresidential floor area. The Waterfront Hotel project is not using all allocated square footage and is therefore entitled to “send” the unused square footage to another “receiving site.” This is consistent with Santa Barbara Municipal Code Sec. 28.95.020 which provides that “[h]otel and motel rooms which are approved but are not constructed at the time of transfer approval shall be measured only in square feet of floor area.” As allowed by the DA, the transfer from the Waterfront Hotel to the Hilton involves a square footage transfer, not a room-for-room transfer.
14.Appeal Issue: Substantial evidence the Planning Commission errored in providing adequate “consideration and give appropriate credit” to LCOA issues at bar.
The Planning Commission considered all the evidence, including whether the LCOA provisions had been satisfied, and approved the Coastal Development Permit; therefore, the matter was given adequate “consideration.”
15.Appeal Issue: Pattern and Practice of City Staff not enforcing relevant LCOA policies on hotel projects.
The appeal letter refers to two recently approved hotel projects located in the City’s Coastal Zone (i.e., 17–21 W. Montecito St.; 101 Garden St.). Both hotel projects are subject to a condition of approval requiring that they be maintained as a moderate-cost hotel. The language in the condition for the 101 Garden Street hotel project was accepted by Coastal Commission staff. A similar condition was added for the 17–21 W.
Montecito Street hotel project. Both hotel projects were determined to be consistent with Coastal Act Section 30213 and LUP Policy 3.2-12 regarding lower cost visitor and recreational facilities. In addition, both hotel projects were appealed to City Council and both appeals were denied. The 101 Garden St. project was also appealed to the California Coastal Commission. The Coastal Commission made a finding of no substantial issue and did not hear the appeal.
It is irrelevant to the project approvals and this appeal whether or not staff has been enforcing relevant LCOA polies on other hotel projects, although as noted above staff has been appropriately enforcing these policies.
16.Appeal Issue: Failure to enforce LCOA provisions impacts Environmental Justice (EJ) communities, like hotel workers.
Council Agenda Report
Appeal of Planning Commission’s Approval of the 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Hotel Expansion Project [Resolution]
September 23, 2025
See responses above regarding LCOA. In addition, the proposed project was determined to be consistent with Coastal Act Section 30252 and LUP Policy 3.1-29 (Off-Street Parking for New Development and Substantial Redevelopment) because the project would enhance public access to the coast by providing adequate parking facilities, and the parking demand analysis concluded that the proposed parking would meet the demand of the project. Providing adequate on-site parking alleviates any adverse impacts on street parking in the vicinity of the project.
17.Appeal Issue: Inconsistency with applicable and relevant policies and Code findings/requirements.
Based on staff’s responses above and the information provided in the attachments and Planning Commission staff report, there is no evidence of inconsistencies with applicable policies or the Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum was prepared for the proposed project.
With the application of two mitigation measures from the Waterfront Hotel EIR related to archaeological resources (incorporated as conditions of approval), all impacts would be less than significant. See Environmental Review findings below.
FINDINGS
The following findings, as set forth in the Resolution, can be made to approve the project:
A. Environmental Review (CEQA Guidelines §15162 and §15164) The City Council has considered the Addendum dated May 15, 2025 together with the previously certified Park Plaza Environmental Impact Report (Earth Metrics, Inc., August 31, 1979), and Waterfront Park, Hotel and Youth Hostel Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 92091038) (Interface, June 18, 1993), Red Lion Resort Final Supplemental EIR (SCH #95121040) (Perspective Planning, July 1996); and Doubletree Resort Final Supplemental EIR (SCH #2001081069) (Rincon, March 2003) and finds that the Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the City Council and has been completed in compliance with CEQA.
Therefore, the Addendum, together with the previously certified Environmental Impact Reports, is adequate for this Project. On the basis of the whole record, including the Addendum, the previously certified CEQA documents, and any public comments received, the City Council can find that the Project changes described in the Addendum will neither create any new significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects on the environment, nor present new information of substantial importance pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15162.

September 23, 2025
B. Parking Modification (SBMC §28.92.110)
1. The Parking Modification will not be inconsistent with the purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 28), which are to serve the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare and to provide the economic and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land resources, and to encourage, guide and provide a definite plan for the future growth and development of the City. The hotel will provide alternative transportation incentives with the updated visitor information program and updated transportation demand management program, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025 and documented in the conditions of approval.
2. The Parking Modification will not cause an increase in the demand for parking space or loading space in the immediate area because the Project is expected to meet the parking demand onsite based on the Parking Study (ATE, 2/05/2024), as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
C. Development Plan (SBMC Chapter 28.85)
1. The proposed development complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, including the 1994 Amended Park Plaza Specific Plan, and as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the principles of sound community planning because the hotel is a permitted use described in the Park Plaza Specific Plan and meets all of the other required criteria in the Specific Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Coastal Land Use Plan, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
3. The proposed development will not have a significant adverse impact upon the community’s aesthetics or character in that the size, bulk, or scale of the development will be compatible with the neighborhood based on the preliminary Project Compatibility Analysis made by the Historic Landmarks Commission, as described in Section VIII of the Planning Commission staff report dated May 8, 2025, and based on the Project Compatibility Analysis findings made by the Historic Landmarks Commission when granting Project Design Approval on July 30, 2025. The Project is consistent with development regulations within the Specific Plan related to aesthetics and community character, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.

September 23, 2025
4. The proposed development is consistent with the policies of the City of Santa Barbara Traffic Management Strategy (as approved by City Resolution No. 13-010 dated March 12, 2013, and amended per Resolution No. 20-042 dated June 23, 2020) as expressed in the allocation allowances specified in SBMC §28.85.050, Traffic Management Strategy, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
D. Transfer of Existing Development Rights (SBMC §28.95.060)
1. The proposed development plans for both the sending site (Waterfront Hotel) and the receiving site (Hilton hotel) are consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and all applicable provisions of the City’s Municipal Code.
2. The proposed developments will not be detrimental to the site(s), neighborhood or surrounding areas because the Waterfront Hotel, an approved Project, has been determined to be appropriate for the neighborhood, and the Historic Landmarks Commission stated that the Hilton Hotel Project is compatible with the neighborhood based on the Project Compatibility Analysis findings made by the Historic Landmarks Commission when granting Project Design Approval on July 30, 2025.
3. The floor area of proposed nonresidential development on the receiving site (Hilton Hotel) does not exceed the sum of the amount of Existing Development Rights transferred when added to the amount of Existing Development Rights on the receiving site and does not exceed the maximum development allowed by the applicable zoning of the receiving site, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
4. Each of the proposed nonresidential developments on the respective sending site (Waterfront Hotel) and receiving site (Hilton Hotel) will meet all standards for review as set forth in Section 28.85.040 (Development Plan Findings) and all provisions of Chapter 28.95 because the development plan findings were made for the Waterfront Hotel and can be made for the Hilton Hotel; and the specific conditions for a transfer approval included in the 2016 Development Agreement regarding square footage and analysis of the proposed Hilton hotel Project have been met, as described in Section VI of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
5. Development remaining, or to be built, on a sending site (Waterfront Hotel) is appropriate in size, scale, use, and configuration for the neighborhood and is beneficial to the community because the Project has received all applicable land use and design review approvals.

September 23, 2025
E. Coastal Development Permit (SBMC §28.44.150)
1. The Project is consistent with the policies of the California Coastal Act related to public access; visitor serving and recreational facilities; scenic resources and visual quality; storm water management; biological resources (bird nesting); and cultural resources (archaeology), as described in Section VI.B of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
2. The Project is consistent with all applicable policies of the City’s Local Coastal Plan, all applicable implementing guidelines, and all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code related to public access; visitor serving and recreational facilities (including Coastal Act section 30213 and LUP Policy 3.2-12, Lower Cost Visitor and Recreational Facilities); scenic resources and visual quality; coastal hazards and safety; storm water management; biological resources (bird nesting); and cultural resources (archaeology), and meets the required parking demand, and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, as described in Section VI.B of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 8, 2025.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara denying the appeal of the Law Office of Jordan R. Sisson, on behalf of UNITE HERE Local 11, and upholding the decision of the Planning Commission to approve the Hotel Expansion Project at 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
This action does not have a budget/financial impact on the City. Future construction of the hotel expansion could result in additional generation of Transient Occupancy (Hotel) tax revenues for the City.

RE: APPEAL JUSTIFICATION FOR HILTON BEACHFRONT RESORT PROJECT (PLN2022-00443); ITEM III.B, PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING HELD ON MAY 15, 2025 Dear Mayor Rowse and Honorable City Councilmembers:
1 On behalf of appellant UNITE HERE Local 11 and its members (collectively “Local 11” or “Appellant”), this office respectfully submits this “Appeal” to the City of Santa Barbara (“City”) involving the 73-room hotel expansion development (net increase of 45,928 square feet) (“Project”) of the existing 360-room Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort (“Hilton Resort”) located on an approximate 24-acre lot at 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd. (“Parcel A” or “Area A”). The Project relies on the transfer of development rights from the adjacent but not yet constructed Waterfront Hotel located on a 3-acre lot at 433 E. Cabrillo Blvd. (“Parcel B” or “Area B”), which is the subject of a 2016 Development Agreement (“DA”) entered into between the City and the Applicant’s predecessor in interest. Parcels A, B, and the now-constructed Chase Palm Park (sometimes referred to as “Parcel C” or “Area C”) are within the larger 33-acre Park Plaza Specific Plan (“Specific Plan” or “SP-1”) area, which was adopted in the 1970’s and subject to subsequent amendments.
In furtherance of the Project, the applicant Trish Allen, SEPPS (on behalf of property owner Fess Parker-Red Lion Hotel) (collectively “Applicant”) seeks various project approvals under the Santa Barbara Municipal Code (“SBMC” or “Code”), including: (i) a Parking Modification; (ii) Development Plan; (iii) Development Plan for a Transfer of Existing Development Rights Permit (“TEDR”); and (iv) a Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) (collectively “Entitlements”).
Additionally, for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the City is considering the adoption of the Project’s Addendum to a previously certified Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”). On May 15, 2025, the City Planning Commission (“Commission” or “PC”) approved the Entitlements, Addendum, Conditions of Approval (“COA”) and associated findings (collectively “Project Approvals”), which is outlined in various City documents already part of the Project’s record. (See “PC Agenda” and “PC Staff Report” and “PC Video”.2) Pursuant to the Code, the Planning Commission’s actions are appealable to the City Council within ten (10) calendar days of the decision, which is extended to the next working day when the tenth day falls on a weekend or holiday) (i.e., Tuesday, May 27, 2025). (See SBMC §§ 28.92.080.C.2,
28.85.070, 28.95.110, 28.44.160.B, 30.205.150 subds. A.3 and B.) Under the Code, any aggrieved person who participated either orally or in writing on a project have standing to appeal a CDP. (SBMC §§ 28.44.160.B, 30.205.150.) The Code defines “person” broadly (e.g., any person, individual, 1 Herein, page citations are either the stated pagination (i.e., “p. #”) or PDF-page location (i.e., “PDF p. #”). 2 See e.g., PC Agenda (5/15/25 ); PC Staff Report (5/15/15 ); PC Hearing Video (5/15/15) 0:38:00 – 2:25:00.

association, organization, partnership, firm, business trust, limited liability company, corporation, company, or other business association). (SBMC §§ 1.04.110, 30.300.160.) Here, this Appeal is timely submitted within applicable timelines, Local 11 qualifies as a person under the Code, and it participated during the Commission hearing through its counsel and other representatives, such as writings submitted on its behalf dated May 15, 2025 (attached hereto “Exhibit A”) and comments made remotely by Local 11 staff. (See e.g., Exh. A;3 PC Video, 1:19:00-1:22:0.) Additionally, Local 11 has an interest and standing involving the Project Approvals. Local 11 represents more than 25,000 workers employed in hotels, restaurants, airports, sports arenas, and convention centers throughout Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona. The union has a First Amendment right to petition public officials in connection with matters of public concern, including compliance with applicable zoning rules and CEQA, just as developers, other community organizations, and individual residents do. Protecting its members’ interest in the environment, including advocating for the environmental sustainability of development projects and protecting access to coastal resources (e.g., access to lower-cost overnight accommodations (“LCOA”) in the coastal zone), in compliance with state and local rules, is part of Local 11’s core function. Recognizing unions’ interest and union members’ interest in these issues, California courts have consistently upheld unions’ standing to litigate land use and environmental claims. (See Bakersfield Citizens v. Bakersfield (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 1184, 1198.) Furthermore, Local 11 has public interest standing to challenge the Project Approvals given the City’s public duty to comply with applicable zoning and CEQA laws, which Local 11 seeks to enforce. (See Rialto Citizens for Responsible Growth v. City of Rialto (2012) 208 Cal.App.4th 899, 914-916 [fn. 6]. See also La Mirada Avenue Neighborhood Assn. of Hollywood v. City of Los Angeles (2018) 22 Cal.App.5th 1149, 1158-1159; Weiss v. City of Los Angeles (2016) 2 Cal.App.5th 194, 205-206; Save the Plastic Bag Coalition v. City of Manhattan Beach (2011) 52 Cal.4th 155, 166, 169–170.) Appellants hereby Appeal the Project and Project Approvals and provide the following appeal justification.
I. APPEAL JUSTIFICATIONS
The Commission approved the Project without any further consideration of LCOAs because of a purported 100-bed hostel constructed in 2014 on a 0.84-acre site located at 12 E. Montecito Street, referred to under the DA as the “Hostel Property.” (PC Staff Report, pp. 2, 4, 7, 44, 50-51, 114.)
This was an error for a variety of issues discussed below, including but not limited to noncompliance with relevant LCOA policies requirements under the California Coastal Act (Pub. Res.
Code § 30000 et seq.) (“Coastal Act”), the City’s Local Coastal Plan (“LCP”) (inclusive of its Local Implementation Plan (“LIP”) and Coastal Land Use Plan (“CLUP”)), CEQA, and/or local zoning requirements, as discussed in the below sections highlighting 17 appeal issues under three main categories.
