Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Adoption of Resolution Authorizing the Quitclaim of a Storm Drain Easement at 701 North Milpas Street [Resolution]
Recommendation: That Council:

Discussion:

The City of Santa Barbara (City) holds a stormwater drainage easement over the property located at 701 North Milpas Street, as granted by deed recorded in Book 589, Page 121 in 1943. The drainage was likely necessary before a subsequent improvement project on Milpas Street.

Public Works has reviewed the easement and confirmed that it is no longer required for drainage or other public purposes. There are no existing public facilities within the easement area, and no future public need has been identified.

Pursuant to applicable provisions of the California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333, the City may vacate easements that are no longer necessary for public use. The proposed Resolution would summarily vacate the easement, and the associated Quitclaim Deed would release the City’s interest in the property.

Following Council adoption of the Resolution, the Quitclaim Deed will be executed and recorded with the County of Santa Barbara Recorder’s Office, thereby removing the easement from the property title.

Budget/Financial Information:

Page 2 ends

All costs associated with processing the easement vacation, including staff time and administrative expenses, have been recovered through fees paid by the applicant. This action has no additional financial impact on the City.

Sustainability Impact:

The proposed action is administrative in nature and does not result in direct environmental impacts. Removal of an unused easement may facilitate efficient land use and future development consistent with City policies, which can support broader sustainability objectives such as infill development.

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

Environmental Review:

Executing a Quitclaim Deed falls outside of the definition of a “Project” under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as an administrative action of government that will not result in direct physical changes in the environment is not subject to CEQA environmental review. In the event that a project is proposed, CEQA environmental review would be required.

Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Authorize Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding with Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for the Santa Barbara Eastside Active Transportation Improvements Project [Resolution; Agreement]
Recommendation: That Council:

A. Authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments to decrease the grant funding amounts from the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments by $347,300, from $1,023,000 to $675,700, for work to complete the Pre-Construction Phase of the Santa Barbara Eastside Active Transportation Improvements Project; and
B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Resolution No. 25-066, Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2026, to Decrease Grant Funds for the Pre-Construction Phases of the Santa Barbara Eastside Active Transportation Improvements Project.

Discussion:

Background
On June 26, 2025, the California Transportation Commission awarded Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) and Caltrans with a Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) grant in the amount of $134 million to support the completion of the U.S. 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Project through Santa Barbara and provide funding for several multimodal improvements including the Santa Barbara Eastside Active Transportation Improvements Project (Project). Specifically, the SB 1 grant allocated $8,755,000 towards constructing the Project.

On July 29, 2025, City Council Authorized a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the SBCAG and the City of Santa Barbara (City) to fund the pre-construction Agenda Item No. 7

phases of the Project. The Project includes the planning, environmental, and design phases for the following safety improvements for all road users in the City’s Eastside Neighborhood, which are also noted on the attached Project Location Map:
 Safe Routes to School safety enhancements, including curb extensions and high visibility crosswalks at the following intersections*:
o Montecito and Voluntario Streets,
o Montecito and Soledad Streets,
o Quinientos and Voluntario Streets,
o Quinientos and Soledad Streets, and
o Carpinteria and Soledad Streets.
*Other intersections may be included based on continued community engagement.  Cacique Street bike boulevard and bike-friendly street improvements, including curb extensions at Cañada and Hutash Streets, Cañada and Punta Gorda Streets, and Voluntario and Cacique Streets.
 Salinas Street safety improvements, including a lighting corridor on Salinas Street from the five-points roundabout to the U.S. Highway 101 off ramp at Salinas Street, and curb extensions at the following intersections:
o Salinas Street and Salinas Place,
o Salinas and Clifton Streets,
o Salinas and Carpinteria Streets,
o Salinas and Hutash Streets, and
o Salinas and Pitos Streets.
 Sidewalk infill on Alisos Street.

Current Status
The Project is currently in the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) Phase, undergoing internal review of the conceptual design plans. The Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase, which included California Environmental Policy Act (CEQA) review, was completed by City staff at a lower than anticipated cost for the Project. Additionally, SBCAG identified Local Partnership Program funds to supplement the programmed Regional Surface Transportation Program funds for the Project, which are now defined in the MOU’s Amendment.

Staff Recommendation
Council Agenda Report

June 2, 2026

Page 3 ends

Staff recommend that Council authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to the MOU between SBCAG and the City, to decrease total grant funding for the design phases from $1,023,000 to $675,700 due to project costs incurred to date being below initial projections, with sufficient expenditure appropriations within the Streets Grant Capital Fund to cover the Project’s design costs..

A variety of outreach activities were conducted to maximize stakeholder engagement, including advertisements in local publications, a fact sheet and meeting notice distribution, pop-up outreach events, and phone calls to key stakeholders. All community engagement has been made available in both Spanish and English. Additional community engagement meetings will occur as the Project’s design and construction phases progress.

Budget/Financial Information:

Funding
The Project’s design is split into three pre-construction phases of work: PA&ED, PS&E, and Right of Way (ROW). These phases are primarily funded by SBCAG, with in-kind City staff time as match funds to cover the remaining costs. The updated budget for each design phase is shown on the table below.

With Council’s approval of the recommended Amendment 1 to the MOU and Resolution, reflecting the lower than anticipated project costs so far, there will still be sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Streets Grant Capital Fund to cover the Project’s design costs. Staff plan to appropriate funds for the construction phase, including $8,755,000 in SB 1 grant funds, when returning to City Council to seek approval for the construction contract. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2027.

Council Agenda Report
Authorize Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding with Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for the Santa Barbara Eastside Active Transportation Improvements Project [Resolution; Agreement]
June 2, 2026

Page 4 ends

The Project is consistent with the Council-adopted Vision Zero Strategy, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, the Circulation Element, and the Climate Action Plan. The Project will improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists and will contribute to the City’s sustainability goals by encouraging more people to walk and bike, reducing energy consumption, traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution.

Environmental Review:

Amending the MOU with SBCAG does not meet the definition of a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines § 15378 (b)(5) as administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct physical changes in the environment are not subject to environmental review.

The Project itself is subject to environmental review under CEQA and was found to be categorically exempt under CEQA during the PA&ED Phase. The Notice of Exemption was filed on September 30, 2025, with the State Clearinghouse (SCH) under identification number 202500027.

The information contained herein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable as of the date of this statement, but may become outdated or superseded at any time without notice.

Custody: Your qualified custodian bank maintains control of all assets reflected in this statement and we urge you to compare this statement to the one you receive from your qualified custodian. Chandler does not have any authority to withdraw or deposit funds from/to the custodian account.

Valuation: Prices are provided by IDC, an independent pricing source.

Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.

Performance: Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss.

Ratings: Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy.

Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest.

For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds.

LAIF Yields: Additional Disclosure for CA Clients - As a result of a reporting lag from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), reported LAIF yields represent the most recently available Daily Effective Yield and may reflect data from approximately 7–10 days prior to month-end.

The dual goals of the Moderate Strategy are growth of principal and income. It is expected that dividend and interest income will comprise a significant portion of total return, although growth through capital appreciation is equally important. The portfolio will be allocated between equity and fixed income investments.

Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: City Attorney’s Office
Subject: Authorization to Amend the Legal Services Agreement with Jarvis Fay, LLP [Agreement]
Recommendation:

That Council authorize the City Attorney to execute a third amendment to the legal services agreement with the law firm Jarvis Fay, LLP to provide legal advice and litigation defense for Disney Platform Distribution, Inc. et al. v. City of Santa Barbara, SBSC Case No. 24CV02313 by increasing the agreement not to exceed amount by $40,000 for a new contract amount of $290,000 (from $250,000 to $290,000).

Discussion:

In May 2024, the City entered into an agreement with Jarvis Fay for legal advice and litigation defense for Disney Platform Distribution, Inc. et al. v. City of Santa Barbara, SBSC Case No. 24CV02313. Expenditures on the contract are anticipated to exceed the current contract amount of $250,000 due to the protracted litigation. Increasing the contract amount by an additional $40,000 is necessary due to additional and final litigation costs and to avoid an interruption of service.

In April 2026, the California Supreme Court denied Disney’s request to appeal the California Court of Appeals decision upholding the City of Santa Barbara’s tax determination of the applicability of the existing utility users’ tax (UUT) on digital streaming services. The Court of Appeal’s decision is now final and binding. Staff are communicating with all streaming service providers to ensure compliance with the UUT going forward as well as initiating additional audits.

The litigation is now complete. No additional legal services expenses moving forward are anticipated at this time but there will be final invoices that need to be covered by this proposed amendment.

Recommendation:

That Council approve a four-year lease agreement with Brophy & Sons, Inc., for administrative and accounting office space at 125 Harbor Way, at an initial base rent of $1,179.55 per month.

• Annual Rent Adjustment: Cost of Living increases based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• Insurance: Brophy & Sons, Inc. is required to procure and maintain, for the duration of the lease period, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in connection with the possession, occupancy, operation, improvement, or use of the facility by the lease, their guests, agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors.

On July 11, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution 06-064, which declared the Council’s intention to order expansion of vegetation road clearance, implementation of a defensible space inspection and assistance program, and implementation of a vegetation management program within the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones of the High Fire Hazard Area. The Resolution described the special benefit to be assessed and approved an Engineer’s Report, confirmed the diagram and assessment, and ordered levy of the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District (District) for Fiscal Year 2007. As required by the Resolution, the assessment must be renewed annually by Council. The City has renewed the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment each year since.

Assessment funds continue to reduce the risk and severity of wildland fires through the reduction of flammable vegetation. The assessment provides three primary services:

1. Vegetation Road Clearance: Each year, the assessment provides approximately 14 miles of road clearance. The frequency is such that most roads in the District Agenda Item No. 11
Council Agenda Report
Renewal of Levy for Fiscal Year 2027 for the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District [Resolution]
June 2, 2026

Page 2 ends

are cleared of impeding vegetation every three years. Clearing vegetation from the roadways is required of property owners by law and allows for safer egress of residents and ingress of first responders during an emergency. In Fiscal Year 2026, the team has cleared 14 Miles of roadways, representing 120 tons of vegetation cleared.

2. Defensible Space Inspection and Assistance: This element of the assessment provides assistance to property owners in creating defensible space around their homes. Defensible space is a key element in preventing the ignition of homes during a wildfire by reducing the exposure of the home to burning vegetation.

Defensible space assistance will again involve scores of site visits to assist homeowners. In addition, the assessment provides chipping services to residents of the District after the vegetation has been cut. Chipping provides a cost effective way for homeowners to dispose of cut material. The chipped vegetation may be reused as a ground cover in landscaping. Over 160 tons of vegetation has been chipped and removed in FY2026.

3. Vegetation Management: Vegetation management is the selective removal of flammable vegetation in open lands outside of property owner’s defensible space.

The goal is to lessen the severity of a fire, in the event that one occurs, by depriving the fire of a large amount of fuel. This is accomplished by preferentially removing exotic plants, thinning, pruning and limbing vegetation to remove fire ladders, and limbing up the canopy and pruning out dead material. Vegetation management retains the overall look of wildland areas and minimizes impacts to natural resources while reducing the amount of flammable vegetation. Vegetation management was successfully completed on 35 acres in Fiscal Year 2026. These projects require staff to strengthen the public-private relationship by working with multiple, individual property owners and contract crews to link individual parcels across larger areas of adjacent land. Working in cooperation with multiple property owners, there is a greater impact on reducing the community threat from wildfire.

Due to a position vacancy within the Prevention Division, there was decreased vegetation management in FY2026. Staff anticipates at least 16 acres of vegetation to be grazed by sheep in four open space parks. In addition to vegetation removal, this project also accomplished education, protection of natural resources unique to the area and outlined individual maintenance programs. The project areas are identified in the Community Wildland Protection Plan (CWPP).

Annual Levy:

Council Agenda Report
Renewal of Levy for Fiscal Year 2027 for the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District [Resolution]
June 2, 2026

Page 3 ends

The Wildland Fire Assessment may be annually increased by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in an amount not to exceed 4% per year. In adjusting for the CPI, the allowable increase is calculated using the CPI from the past year plus any deferred increases from previous years.

For Fiscal Year 2027, staff and the Assessment Engineer propose a CPI increase of

3.01%. The rate for Fiscal Year 2027 as suggested in the Engineer’s Report (see Attachment) will therefore be set at $106.20 per single family home located within the boundary of the Foothill Zone and $131.69 per single family home located within the Extreme Foothill Zone boundary. Total anticipated revenues to be generated from the assessment are $351,522 for Fiscal Year 2027. For comparison, the Fiscal Year 2026 rates were $103.10 and $127.84 respectively, totaling $343,653. The increased revenue anticipated for Fiscal Year 2027 will allow us to continue to provide the same level of service in all three areas.

Hearing
On April 14, 2026, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-023 to declare its intent to renew the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District within the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones and to set a time of 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, for a public hearing on the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District. Staff recommends that the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District be continued for Fiscal Year 2027 to fund and deliver these successful mitigation programs.

Budget/Financial Information:

The estimated $351,522 cost of providing services in Fiscal Year 2027 is recovered through the resident-approved Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment levied on the annual property tax bills of property owners within the Assessment district boundaries.

Both the cost of providing the services and the assessment district revenue have been included in the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District Fund budget for Fiscal Year 2027. No additional budget appropriations are necessary.

Sustainability Impact:

Vegetation removed through vegetation road clearance and the defensible space chipping assistance program is chipped and spread back on to the ground or in areas of local parks where feasible. The goal is to reuse some chipped material locally avoiding the cost of disposal fees, extra vehicle trips and landfill use. Non-native pest plants are not chipped but rather hauled off-site to be disposed of properly.

Introduction
The City of Santa Barbara is located about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, largely on the slopes between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. The City of Santa Barbara provides fire services throughout the City limits. Fire services include fire suppression, protection, prevention, evacuation planning, and education.

Due to topography, location, climate and infrastructure, the Santa Barbara community has a relatively high inherent risk of wildland fires. Listed below are some of the major wildland fires that have occurred in Santa Barbara County since 1970:

In response to the considerable wildland fire risk in the area, the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department prepared a Wildland Fire Plan in January, 2004, in which it identified four High Fire Hazard Zones: The Coastal Zone, the Coastal Interior Zone, the Foothill Zone, and the Extreme Foothill Zone. The two Zones included in this assessment are the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones (the “Zones”).

These Zones are at a high risk of wildland fires due to the following factors:
 Climate. The climate consists of cool, moist winters and hot, dry summers. The low humidity and high summer temperatures increase the likelihood that a spark will ignite a fire in the area, and that the fire will spread rapidly.  Topography. Periodic wind conditions known as “Sundowner” and “Santa Ana” winds interact with the steep slopes in the Santa Ynez Mountains and the ocean influence, resulting in an increase in the speed of the wind to severe levels. These two types of wind conditions increase the likelihood that fires will advance downslope towards the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones. In addition, these winds can greatly increase the rate at which a fire will spread.
 Chaparral. Much of the undeveloped landscape is covered with chaparral. Chaparral sheds woody, dead, and organic materials rich in flammable oils, which accumulate over time. Areas covered with chaparral typically experience wildland fires which burn the accumulated plant materials, and renew the chaparral for its next cycle of growth.

Therefore, areas of chaparral which are not thinned, and from which the dead plant City of Santa Barbara
Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Page 3 ends

materials are not removed or burned off in prescribed fires, provide ample opportunities for wildland fires to occur and to spread.  Road Systems. Many of the roads in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones do not meet current Fire Department access and vegetation road clearance standards, and many are made even more narrow due to the encroachment of vegetation. A number of the bridges have weight requirements that are below Fire Department weight standards. In addition, many driveways are long and steep, posing a safety hazard. All of these factors make it more difficult and more hazardous for the Fire Department to provide fire suppression services in these areas.
 Water Supply. In the Extreme Foothill Zone, the City water supply is limited in some areas, and not available in others. These factors increase the risks associated with fires, due to the reduced availability of water to fight any fires that occur.  Fire Response Time. Much of the Extreme Foothill Zone, and some of the Foothill Zone, is outside the City’s 4 minute Fire Department response time. As a result, fires in these areas may have more time to spread and to increase in severity before fire suppression equipment can reach them.
 Proximity to the Los Padres National Forest. The Los Padres National Forest (LPNF) is a large forest to the north of the Foothill and Extreme Foothill zones. The LPNF provides a great deal of potential fuel for any wildland fire in the area. Wildland fires that start in the LPNF have the potential to move south toward the Foothill and Extreme Foothill zones.

This Engineer’s Report (the "Report") was prepared to: 1) contain the information required by Government Code Section 50078.4, including a) a description of each lot or parcel of property to be subject to the assessment, b) the amount of the assessment for each lot or parcel for the initial fiscal year, c) the maximum amount of the assessment which may be levied for each lot or parcel during any fiscal year, d) the duration of the assessment, e) the basis of the assessment, f) the schedule of the assessment, and g) a description specifying the requirements for protest and hearing procedures for the assessment pursuant to Section 50078.6; 2) establish a budget to provide services to reduce the severity and damage from wildland fires (the "Services") that will be funded by the 2026-27 assessments; 3) determine the benefits received from the Services by property within the City of Santa Barbara Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District (the "Assessment District") and; 4) assign a method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the Assessment District. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the California Government Code Section 50078 et. seq. (the "Code") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the “Article”).

In Fiscal Year 2006-07, the City of Santa Barbara City Council (the “Council”) by Resolution called for an assessment ballot proceeding and public hearing on the then-proposed establishment of a wildland fire suppression assessment.

City of Santa Barbara
Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

On May 5, 2006 a notice of assessment and assessment ballot was mailed to property owners within the proposed Assessment District boundaries. Such notice included a description of the Services to be funded by the proposed assessments, a proposed assessment amount for each parcel owned, and an explanation of the method of voting on the assessments. Each notice also included a postage prepaid ballot on which the property owner could mark his or her approval or disapproval of the proposed assessments as well as affix his or her signature.

After the ballots were mailed to property owners in the Assessment District, the required minimum 45 day time period was provided for the return of the assessment ballots. Following this 45 day time period, a public hearing was held on June 20, 2006 for the purpose of allowing public testimony regarding the proposed assessments. At the public hearing, the public had the opportunity to speak on the issue. After the conclusion of the public input portion of the hearing, the hearing was continued to July 11, 2006 to allow time for the tabulation of ballots.

With the passage of Proposition 218 on November 6, 1996, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the proposed assessments could be levied for fiscal year 2006-07, and continued in future years, only if the ballots submitted in favor of the assessments were greater than the ballots submitted in opposition to the assessments. (Each ballot is weighted by the amount of proposed assessment for the property that it represents).

After the conclusion of the public input portion of the Public Hearing held on June 20, 2006, all valid received ballots were tabulated by the City of Santa Barbara Clerk. At the continued public hearing on July 11, 2006, after the ballots were tabulated, it was determined that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessments did not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessments (weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which ballots are submitted).

As a result, the Council gained the authority to approve the levy of the assessments for fiscal year 2006-07 and to continue to levy them in future years. The Council took action, by a Resolution passed on July 31, 2006, to approve the first year levy of the assessments for fiscal year 2006-07.

The authority granted by the ballot proceeding was for a maximum assessment rate of $65.00 per single family home, increased each subsequent year by the Los Angeles Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed 4% per year. In the event that the annual change in the CPI exceeds 4%, any percentage change in excess of 4% can be cumulatively reserved and can be added to the annual change in the CPI for years in which the CPI change is less than 4%.

In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the Council must preliminarily approve at a public meeting a budget for the upcoming fiscal year’s costs and services, an updated annual Engineer’s Report, and an updated assessment roll listing all parcels and their proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. A new Engineer’s Report is prepared each year in order to establish the CPI adjustment for that year; the new maximum authorized assessment rate for that year; the budget for that year; and the amount to be charged to each parcel in the District that year, subject to that year’s assessment rate and any changes in the attributes of the properties in the District, including but not limited to use changes, parcel subdivisions, and/or parcel consolidations. At this meeting, the Council will also call for the publication in a local newspaper of a legal notice of the intent to continue the assessments for the next fiscal year and set the date for the noticed public hearing. At the annual public hearing, members of the public can provide input to the Council prior to the Council’s decision on continuing the services and assessments for the next fiscal year.

If the assessments are so confirmed and approved, the levies will be submitted to the Santa Barbara County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The levy and collection of the assessments will continue year-to-year until terminated by the City Council.

If the City Council approves this Engineer's Report for fiscal year 2026-27 and the assessments by Resolution, a notice of assessment levies must be published in a local paper at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. Following the minimum 10-day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing will be held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2026-27.

A Public Hearing is scheduled for June 2, 2026. At this hearing, the Council will consider approval of a resolution confirming the assessments for fiscal year 2026-27. If so confirmed and approved, the assessments will be submitted to the Santa Barbara County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The Assessment District is narrowly drawn to include only properties that benefit from the additional fire protection services that are provided by the assessment funds. The Assessment Diagram included in this report shows the boundaries of the Assessment District.

In 2008 per California Public Resource Code 4201-4204 and Government Code 51175 -89, the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) completed an analysis to identify Local Responsibility Area areas of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) within the City of Santa Barbara.

Discussions between OSFM and the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department were concluded in 2010. As a result, additional parcels have been added to the 2004 City of Santa Barbara high fire hazard area, Foothill Zone. These additional parcels are not included in the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District at this time, and Services provided to these parcels are not funded from this assessment.

Proposition 218
This assessment was formed consistent with Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.

Proposition 218 describes a number of important requirements, including a property-owner balloting, for the formation and continuation of assessments, and these requirements were satisfied by the process used to establish this assessment.

Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA vs. SCCOSA”) case. This ruling is the most significant legal decision clarifying Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that:
 Benefit assessments are for special, not general benefit  The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined  Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment District
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Services to be funded are clearly defined; the Services are available to all benefiting property in the Assessment District, the benefiting property in the Assessment District will directly and tangibly benefit from improved protection from fire damage, increased safety of property and other special benefits and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property. There have been a number of clarifications made to the analysis, findings and supporting text in this Report to ensure that this consistency is well communicated.

Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property
On June 8, 2009, the Court of Appeal for the Second District of California amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment district for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona. On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review and the court's decision in Dahms became binding precedent for assessments. In Dahms, the court upheld an assessment that conferred a 100% special benefit to the assessed parcels on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were provided directly and only to property in the assessment district over and above those services or improvements provided by the city generally.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon
On December 31, 2009, the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments on the ground that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based, in part, on relative costs within sub-areas of the assessment district instead of proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside
On May 26, 2010 the 4th District Court of Appeals issued a decision on the Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the Services to be funded are clearly defined; the Services are available to and will be directly provided to all benefiting property in the Assessment District; and the Services provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment District that would not be received in absence of the Assessments.

This Engineer’s Report is consistent with Dahms because, similar to the Downtown Pomona assessment validated in Dahms, the Services will be directly provided to property in the Assessment District. Moreover, while Dahms could be used as the basis for a finding of 0% general benefits, this Engineer’s Report establishes a more conservative measure of general benefits.

The Engineer’s Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Services and proportional special benefit to each property. Finally, the Assessments are consistent with Buetz because the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments.

Description of Services
The City of Santa Barbara Fire Department provides a range of fire protection, prevention, and educational services to the City and its residents.

The following is a description of the wildland fire suppression Services that are provided for the benefit of property within the Assessment District. Prior to the passage of the assessment in 2006, the baseline level of service was below the standard described in the City’s 2004 Wildland Fire Plan. Due to inadequate funding, the level of service continued to diminish and would have diminished further had this assessment not been instituted. With the passage of this assessment, the services were enhanced significantly. The formula below describes the relationship between the final level of improvements, the baseline level of service (pre 2006) had the assessment not been instituted, and the enhanced level of improvements funded by the assessment.

Note: Baseline level of service is pre-2006.

The services (the “Services”) undertaken by the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department and the cost thereof paid from the levy of the annual assessment provide special benefit to Assessor Parcels within the Assessment District as defined in the Method of Assessment herein. In addition to the definitions provided by the California Government Code Section 50078 et. seq., (the “Code”) the Services are generally described as follows:
 Implementation of the vegetation road clearance program to cover all public roads within the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones. This program reduces fuel, enhances evacuation routes, and decreases fire response times
 Implementation of a defensible space and fire prevention inspection and chipping assistance program for all properties in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones  Implementation of a vegetation management program in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones
As applied herein, “vegetation road clearance” means the treatment, clearing, reducing, or changing of vegetation near roadways in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones where vegetation poses a fire hazard and does not meet Fire Department Vegetation Road Clearance Standards within the high fire hazard area (As provided in Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section

8.04).

City of Santa Barbara
Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment

Page 10 ends

“Defensible space” is a perimeter created around a structure where vegetation is treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire towards a structure, reduce the chance of a structure fire burning to the surrounding area, and provides a safe perimeter for firefighters to protect a structure (As provided in Chapter 49 of the California Fire Code, as adopted by the City of Santa Barbara pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 8.04). “Vegetation management” means the reduction of fire hazard through public education, vegetation hazard reduction, and other methods as needed to manage vegetation in areas with unique hazards such as heavy, flammable vegetation, lack of access due to topography and roads, and/or firefighter safety.

Method of Apportionment
This section includes an explanation of the special benefits derived from the Services, the criteria for the expenditure of assessment funds and the methodology used to apportion the total assessments to properties within the Assessment District.

The Assessment District area consists of all Assessor Parcels within the Foothill and Extreme Foothill zones of the High Fire Hazard Area as defined by the 2004 Wildland Fire Plan. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits from the Services derived by the properties in the assessment area over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. Special benefit is calculated for each parcel in the Assessment District using the following process:

1. Identification of all benefit factors derived from the Improvements

2. Calculation of the proportion of these benefits that are general

3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the Assessment District

4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type

5. Calculation of the specific assessment for each individual parcel based upon special vs. general benefit; location, property type, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes
Discussion of Benefit
California Government Code Section 50078 et. seq. allows agencies which provide fire suppression services, such as the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department, to levy assessments for fire suppression services. Section 50078 states the following:
“Any local agency which provides fire suppression services directly or by contract with the state or a local agency may, by ordinance or by resolution adopted after notice and hearing, determine and levy an assessment for fire suppression services pursuant to this article.”
In addition, California Government Code Section 50078.1 defines the term “fire suppression” as follows:
“(c) "Fire suppression" includes firefighting and fire prevention, including, but not limited to, vegetation removal or management undertaken, in whole or in part, for the reduction of a fire hazard.”

Therefore, the Services provided by the Assessment District fall within the scope of services that may be funded by assessments under the Code.

The assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. Moreover, such benefit is not based on any one property owner’s specific use of the Services or a property owner’s specific demographic status. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 50078.5 of the California Government Code states:
"(b) The benefit assessment shall be levied on a parcel, class of improvement to property, or use of property basis, or a combination thereof, within the boundaries of the local agency, zone, or area of benefit.”
“The assessment may be levied against any parcel, improvement, or use of property to which such services may be made available whether or not the service is actually used." Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." Since assessments are levied on the basis of special benefit, they are not a tax and are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

The following section describes how and why the Services specially benefit properties. This benefit is particular and distinct from its effect on property in general or the public at large.

Benefit Factors
In order to allocate the assessments, the Engineer identified the types of special benefit arising from the Services that are provided to property in the Assessment District. These benefit factors confer a direct advantage to the assessed properties; otherwise they would be general benefit.

The following benefit categories have been established that represent the types of special benefit conferred to residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and other lots and parcels resulting from the services to reduce the severity and damage from wildland fires that are provided in the Assessment District. These categories of special benefit are derived from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies, which describe the types of special benefit received by property from the Services of the Assessment District. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

Increased safety and protection of real property assets for all property owners within the Assessment District.

As summarized previously, properties in the Assessment District are currently at higher risk for wildland fires. Uncontrolled fires would have a devastating impact on all properties within the Assessment District. The assessments fund an increase in services to mitigate the wildland fire threat, and thereby can significantly reduce the risk of property damage associated with fires.

Clearly, fire mitigation helps to protect and specifically benefits both improved properties and vacant properties in the Assessment District.
"Fire is the largest single cause of property loss in the United States. In the last decade, fires have caused direct losses of more than $120 billion and countless billions more in related cost."1
“Over 140,000 wildfires occurred on average each year, burning a total of almost 14.5 million acres. And since 1990, over 900 homes have been destroyed each year by wildfires.”2
“A wildfire sees your home as just another fuel source. The survivable space you construct around your home will keep all but the most ferocious wildfires at bay.” 3 “A reasonably disaster-resistant America will not be achieved until there is greater acknowledgment of the importance of the fire service and a willingness at all levels of government to adequately fund the needs and responsibilities of the fire service.” 4 “The strategies and techniques to address fire risks in structures are known. When implemented, these means have proven effective in the reduction of losses.” 5 “Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection…and low fire losses.” 6
Protection of views, scenery and other resource values, for property in the Assessment District
The Assessment District provides funding for the mitigation of the wildland fire threat to protect public and private resources in the Assessment District. This benefits even those properties that are not directly damaged by fire by maintaining and improving the aesthetics and attractiveness of public and private resources in the community, as well as ensuring that such resources remain safe and well maintained.
“Intensely burned forests are rarely considered scenic.” 7 “Smoke affects people…for example; in producing haze that degrades the visual quality of a sunny day…The other visual quality effect is that of the fire on the landscape. To many people, burned landscapes are not attractive and detract from the aesthetic values of an area.”8
“A visually preferred landscape can be the natural outcome of fuels treatments.” 9 City of Santa Barbara

Enhanced utility and desirability of the properties in the Assessment District.

The assessments fund Services to reduce the severity and damage from wildland fires in the Assessment District. Such Services enhance the overall utility and desirability of the properties in the Assessment District.
“Residential satisfaction surveys have found that having nature near one’s home is extremely important in where people choose to live…This is especially true at the wildlandurban interface where some of the most serious fuels management must occur.” 10 “People are coming to the [Bitterroot] valley in part because of its natural beauty which contributes to the quality of life that so many newcomers are seeking.” 11 Benefit Finding
In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Assessment District distinctly and directly benefits from increased safety and protection of real property, increased protection of scenery and views, and enhanced utility of properties in the Assessment District. These are special benefits to property in much the same way that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access.

General Versus Special Benefit
Article XIIIC of the California Constitution requires any local agency proposing to increase or impose a benefit assessment to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that property owners subject to the benefit assessment are not paying for general benefits. The assessment can fund special benefits but cannot fund general benefits. Accordingly, a separate estimate of the special and general benefit is given in this section.

In other words:

Total
Benefit =
General
Benefit + Special Benefit

There is no widely-accepted or statutory formula for general benefit. General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature, are not “particular and distinct” and are not “over and above” benefits received by other properties. SVTA vs.

SCCOSA provides some clarification by indicating that general benefits provide “an indirect, derivative advantage” and are not necessarily proximate to the improvements.

The starting point for evaluating general and special benefits is the pre 2006 baseline level of service, had the assessment not been approved by the community. The assessment will fund Services “over and above” this general, baseline level and the special benefits estimated in this section are over and above the baseline.

A formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below:

Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the state constitution as “a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision indicates that a special benefit is conferred to a property if it “receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to a park).” In this assessment, as noted, the improved Services are available when needed to all properties in the Assessment District, so the overwhelming proportion of the benefits conferred to property is special, and are only minimally received by property outside the Assessment District or the public at large.

Proposition 218 twice uses the phrase “over and above” general benefits in describing special benefit. (Art. XIIID, sections 2(i) & 4(f).) Arguably, all of the Services being funded by the assessment would be a special benefit because the Services particularly and distinctly benefit the properties in the Assessment District over and above the baseline benefits.

Nevertheless, arguably some of the Services benefit the public at large and properties outside the Assessment District. In this report, the general benefit is conservatively estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the assessment.

(In the 2009 Dahms case, the court upheld an assessment that conferred a 100% special benefit to the assessed parcels on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were provided directly and only to property in the assessment district over and above those services or improvements provided by the city generally. Similarly, the Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report fund wildland fire services directly and only to the assessed parcels located within the assessment area. Moreover, every property within the Assessment District will receive the Services. While the Dahms decision would permit an assessment based on 100% special benefit and zero or minimal general benefits, in this report, the general benefit is estimated and described and budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.)

Calculating General Benefit
This section provides a measure of the general benefits from the assessments Benefit to Property Outside the Assessment District
Properties within the Assessment District receive almost all of the special benefits from the Services because the Services will be provided solely in the Assessment District boundaries.

Properties proximate to, but outside of, the boundaries of the Assessment District receive some benefit from the Services due to some degree of indirectly reduced fire risk to their property.

These parcels that are proximate to the boundaries of the Assessment District are estimated to receive less than 50% of the benefits relative to parcels within the Assessment District because they do not directly receive the improved fire protection resulting from the Services funded by the Assessments.

At the time the Assessment District was formed, there were approximately 550 of these “proximate” properties.

Although it can reasonably be argued that properties protected inside, but near the Assessment District boundaries are offset by similar fire protection provided outside, but near the Assessment District’s boundaries, we use the more conservative approach of finding that 6.7% of the Services may be of general benefit to property outside the Assessment District.

Benefit to Property Inside the District that is Indirect and Derivative The “indirect and derivative” benefit to property within the Assessment District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the Assessment District is special, because the Services are clearly “over and above” and “particular and distinct” when compared with the pre-2006 baseline level of Services, had the assessment district not passed.

Assumptions:
550 parcels outside the district but proximate to the District Boundaries 3,550 parcels in the Assessment District.
50% relative benefit compared to property within the Assessment District.

Calculation:

General Benefit to property outside the Assessment District = (550/(550+3,550))*0.5=6.7%

In determining the Assessment District boundaries, the District has been careful to limit it to an area of parcels that will directly receive the benefit of the improved Services. All parcels will directly benefit from the use of the improved Services throughout the Assessment District in order to achieve the desired level of wildland fire suppression and protection throughout the Assessment District. Fire protection and suppression will be provided as needed throughout the area.

The SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates that the fact that a benefit is conferred throughout the Assessment District area does not make the benefit general rather than special, so long as the Assessment District is narrowly drawn and limited to the parcels directly receiving shared special benefits from the service. This concept is particularly applicable in situations involving a landowner-approved assessment-funded extension of a local government service to benefit lands previously not receiving that particular service. The Fire Department therefore concludes that, other than the small general benefit to properties outside the Assessment District (discussed above) and to the public at large (discussed below), all of the benefits of the Services to the parcels within the Assessment District are special benefits and it is not possible or appropriate to separate any general benefits from the benefits conferred on parcels in the Assessment District.

Benefit To The Public At Large
With the type and scope of Services provided to the Assessment District, it is very difficult to calculate and quantify the scope of the general benefit conferred on the public at large. Because the Services directly serve and benefit all of the property in the Assessment District, any general benefit conferred on the public at large would be small. Nevertheless, there may be some indirect general benefit to the public at large.

The public at large uses the public highways and other regional facilities when traveling in and through the Assessment District and they may benefit from the services without contributing to the assessment. Although the protection of this critical infrastructure is certainly a benefit to all the property within the Assessment District, it is arguably “indirect and derivative” and possibly benefits people rather than property. A fair and appropriate measure of the general benefit to the public at large therefore is the amount of highway, and regional facilities within the Assessment District relative to the overall land area. An analysis of maps of the Assessment District shows that less than 1.0% of the land area in the Assessment District is covered by highways and regional facilities. This 1.0% therefore is a fair and appropriate measure of the general benefit to the public at large within the Assessment District Summary of General Benefits
Using a sum of the measures of general benefit for the public at large and land outside the Assessment District, we find that approximately 7.7% of the benefits conferred by the Assessment District may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

The Assessment District’s total budget for 2026-27 is $370,084. The Assessment District must obtain funding from sources other than the assessment in the amount of at least $28,496 ($370,084*7.7%) to pay for the cost of the general benefits. This is because the assessments levied by the Fire Department may not exceed the special benefits provided by the Services, and the Assessment Engineer concluded that a combined total of 7.7% of the cost of Services provide a general benefit to properties outside the Assessment District and a benefit to the public at large.

For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City will contribute at least $28,496, or 7.7% of the total Assessment District budget, to the Assessment District from sources other than this assessment to cover the cost of the general benefits.

Zones of Benefit
Initially, the Fire Department evaluated the geographic area within and around the City limits (including the City of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, Montecito and National Forest lands) based upon three fire hazard risk variables: vegetation (fuel), topography and weather. This analysis was used to narrowly determine the boundaries of the “high fire hazard area.” Further, zones were narrowly drawn within the high fire hazard area and graded “extreme,” “high,” “moderate” or “low”. Next, the Fire Department evaluated the roof type, proximity of structures, road systems, water supply, fire response times and historic fire starts within the high fire hazard area and developed 4 specific zones:
 Extreme Foothill Zone
 Foothill Zone
 Coastal Zone
 Coastal Interior Zone
These zones were used to apply appropriate policies and actions based upon hazard and risk. The results of this analysis were tabulated and presented in Tables 2 through 4 in the 2004 Wildland Fire Plan.

Assessment Apportionment
In the process of determining the appropriate method of assessment, the Assessment Engineer considered various alternatives. For example, an assessment only for all residential improved property was considered but was determined to be inappropriate because vacant, commercial, industrial and other properties also receive special benefits from the assessments.

Moreover, a fixed or flat assessment for all properties of similar type was deemed to be inappropriate because larger commercial/industrial properties and residential properties with multiple dwelling units receive a higher degree of benefit than other similarly used properties that are significantly smaller. For two properties used for commercial purposes, there clearly is a higher benefit provided to the larger property in comparison to a smaller commercial property because the larger property generally supports a larger building and has higher numbers of employees, customers and guests that benefit from reduced wildland fire risk. This benefit ultimately flows to the property. Larger parcels, therefore, receive an increased benefit from the assessments.

The Assessment Engineer determined that the appropriate method of assessment should be based on the type of property, the relative size of the property and the potential use of property by residents and employees. This method is further described below.

Method of Assessment
The next step in apportioning assessments is to determine the relative special benefit for each property. This process involves determining the relative benefit received by each property in relation to a "benchmark" property, a single family detached dwelling on one parcel of one acre or less in the Foothill Zone (one “Single Family Equivalent Benefit Unit” or “SFE”). This SFE methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefits and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments. In this Engineer’s Report, all properties are assigned an SFE value, which is each property’s relative benefit in relation to a single family home on one parcel.

City of Santa Barbara
Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment

The relative benefit to properties from fire related Services is:

Equation 1 – Relative Benefit to Properties
Benefit ≈ ∑ (Fire Risk Factors) ∗ ∑ (Structure Value Factors) That is, the benefit conferred to property is the “sum” the risk factors multiplied by the “sum” of the structure values factors.

Fire Risk Factors
Typical fire assessments (non-wildland) are evaluated based upon the fire risk of a certain property type. These evaluations consider factors such as use of structure (e.g. used for cooking), type of structure (centralized heating), etc.

Wildland fires, on the other hand, are initiated largely from external ignitions and are far less affected by structural, mechanical and electrical systems inherent to the building (except roof type). The principle Wildland fire risk factors are:
 Vegetation (fuel)
 Topography
 Weather
 Roof type
 Proximity of Structure
 Road Systems
 Water Supply
 Response
 Ignitions
These factors were fully evaluated in the 2004 Wildland Fire Plan and are manifested in the relative zone scores as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, above. Hence, the Fire Risk Factor for all properties within the Foothill Zone is 1.00 and the Fire Risk Factor for all properties in the Extreme Foothill Zone is 1.24.

Structure Value Factors
The relative value of different property types was evaluated within the high fire hazard area to determine the Structure Value Factor according to the following formula:

“Average Total Value” is average of value of all land + improvements (e.g. structures), per property type, as provide by County Assessor records. County assessor land values were not used directly because experience has shown total values to be more comprehensive. “Unit Density Factor” corresponds values with units (i.e. “per residential unit” or “per acre”) based upon effective density of structure on parcel.

Residential Properties
All improved residential properties with a single residential dwelling unit on one acre or less are assigned one Single Family Equivalent or 1.0 SFE in the Foothill Zone. In the Extreme Foothill Zone, all improved residential properties on one acre or less are assessed 1.24 SFEs (See Table 5).

Residential properties on parcels that are larger than 1 acre receive additional benefit and are assigned additional SFEs on a “per acre” basis. Detached or attached houses, zero-lot line houses and town homes are included in this category.

Properties with more than one residential unit are designated as multi-family residential properties. These properties benefit from the Services in proportion to the number of dwelling units that occupy each property. The relative benefit for multi-family properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.3683 SFEs per residential unit in the Foothill Zone and 0.4567 per residential unit in the Extreme Foothill Zone. This rate applies to condominiums as well.

Commercial/Industrial & Office Properties
Commercial and industrial properties are assigned benefit units per acre, since there is a relationship between parcel size, structure size and relative benefits. The relative benefit for commercial and industrial properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.8187 SFEs per acre in the Foothill Zone and 1.0151 per acre in the Extreme Foothill Zone. The relative benefit for office properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.7058 SFEs per acre in the Foothill Zone and 0.8751 per acre in the Extreme Foothill Zone.

Vacant/Undeveloped, Open Space and Agricultural Properties The relative benefit for vacant properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.0324 SFEs per parcel in the Foothill Zone and 0.04012 per parcel in the Extreme Foothill Zone. Open space and agricultural land have minimal improvements and few, if any; structures that require defensible space, and are assigned benefit “per acre.” The relative benefit for open space properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.0181 SFEs per acre in the Foothill Zone and 0.0224 per acre in the Extreme Foothill Zone. The relative benefit for agricultural properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.0809 SFEs per acre in the Foothill Zone and 0.1002 per acre in the Extreme Foothill Zone.

Other Properties
Institutional properties, such as publicly owned properties (and are used as such), for example, churches, are assessed at 0.3841 per parcel in the Foothill zone and 0.4762 per Parcel in the Extreme Foothill zone. The relative benefit for storage properties was determined as per Equation 1 to be 0.0952 SFEs per acre in the Foothill Zone and 0.1180 per acre in the Extreme Foothill Zone.

Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution states that publicly owned properties shall not be exempt from assessment unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit.

All public properties that are specially benefited are assessed. Publicly owned property that is used for purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial or institutional uses is benefited and assessed at the same rate as such privately owned property.

Appeals of Assessments Levied to Property
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error as a result of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment may file a written appeal with the Fire Chief of the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the Chief or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the Chief or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the Chief or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any dispute over the decision of the Chief or his or her designee shall be referred to the City Council and the decision of the Council shall be final.

Additional Background on Relative Benefit
In essence, when property owners are deciding how to cast their ballot for a proposed assessment, each property owner must weigh the perceived value of the Services proposed to them and their property with the proposed cost of the assessment to their property. If property owners of a certain type of property are either opposed or in support of the assessment in much greater percentages than owners of other property types, this is an indication that, as a group, these property owners perceive that the proposed assessment has relatively higher or lower “utility” or value to their property relative to owners of other property types. One can also infer from these hypothetical ballot results, that the apportionment of benefit (and assessments) was too high or too low for that property type. In other words, property owners, by their balloting, ultimately indicate if they perceive the special benefits to their property to exceed the cost of the assessment, and, as a group, whether the determined level of benefit and proposed assessment (the benefit apportionment made by the Assessment Engineer) is consistent with the level of benefits perceived by the owners of their type of property relative to the owners of other types of property.

Duration of the Assessment
The duration of the assessment is one year, and may be continued each year by a vote of the City Council. The assessment cannot be increased in future years without approval from property owners in another assessment ballot proceeding, except for an annual adjustment tied to the change in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area Consumer Price Index, not to exceed 4% per year.

Criteria and Policies
This sub-section describes the criteria that shall govern the expenditure of assessment funds and ensures equal levels of benefit for properties of similar type. The criteria established in this Report, as finally confirmed, cannot be substantially modified; however, the Council may adopt additional criteria to further clarify certain criteria or policies established in this Report or to establish additional criteria or policies that do not conflict with this Report.

Assessment Funds Must Be Expended Within the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones
The net available assessment funds, after incidental, administrative, financing and other costs, shall be expended exclusively for Services within the boundaries of the Assessment District, namely, the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones.

Existing General Funds
Prior to formation of the assessment, these Wildland Fire Services were funded with approximately $200,000 from the City of Santa Barbara general fund. A general fund contribution of at least $200,000 has been provided each year, and will continue to be provided in future years by the City, to the extent feasible.

This $200,000+ contribution, which comes in the form of direct funds and manpower, is used to support Wildland Fire Services throughout the City including the Coast area, as well as broad, citywide public outreach, planning and policy etc., and to pay for any and all general benefits from the assessment-related services, as required and as described on page 18, above.

The amount to be paid for said Services and the expense incidental thereto, to be paid by the Assessment District for the fiscal year 2026-27 is generally as follows:

Summary Cost Estimate FY 2026-27
An Assessment Diagram is hereto attached and made a part hereof showing the exterior boundaries of said Assessment District. The distinctive number of each parcel or lot of land in said Assessment District is its Assessor Parcel Number appearing on the Assessment Roll.

I do hereby assess and apportion said net amount of the cost and expenses of said Services, including the costs and expenses incident thereto, upon the parcels and lots of land within said Assessment District, in accordance with the special benefits to be received by each parcel or lot, from the Services, and more particularly set forth in the Cost Estimate and Method of Assessment hereto attached and by reference made a part hereof.

The assessment is subject to an annual adjustment tied to the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area as of January of each succeeding year, with the maximum annual adjustment not to exceed 4%.

In the event that the actual assessment rate for any given year is not increased by an amount equal to the maximum of 4% or the yearly CPI change plus any CPI change in previous years that was in excess of 4%, the maximum authorized assessment shall increase by this amount. In such event, the maximum authorized assessment shall be equal to the base year assessment as adjusted by the increase to the CPI, plus any and all CPI adjustments deferred in any and all prior years. The CPI change above 4% can be used in a future year when the CPI adjustment is below 4%. From December 2024 to December 2025, the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area CPI increase is 3.01%.

Based upon this CPI increase, the proposed rates for 2026-27 will increase by 3.01% from the 2025-26 rates – from $103.10 to $106.20 per single family home in the Foothill Zone and from $127.84 to $131.69 per single family home in the Extreme Foothill Zone. The total revenue derived from the assessment is $351,522 for 2026-27.

Each parcel or lot of land is described in the Assessment Roll by reference to its parcel number as shown on the Assessor's Maps of the City of Santa Barbara for the fiscal year 2026-27. For a more particular description of said property, reference is hereby made to the deeds and maps on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County.

I hereby place opposite the Assessor Parcel Number for each parcel or lot within the Assessment Roll, the amount of the assessment for the fiscal year 2026-27 for each parcel or lot of land within the said Assessment District.

Appendix C – Article XIIID of the California Constitution Proposition 218 was approved by voters as a Constitutional Amendment on November 6, 1996.

It became Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California State Constitution and has imposed additional requirements for assessment districts. Following is a summary of the Article.

SEC.1. Application. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provisions of this article shall apply to all assessments, fees and charges, whether imposed pursuant to state statute or local government charter authority. Nothing in this article or Article XIIIC shall be construed to:
(a) Provide any new authority to any agency to impose a tax, assessment, fee, or charge. (b) Affect existing laws relating to the imposition of fees or charges as a condition of property development.
(c) Affect existing laws relating to the imposition of timber yield taxes.

SEC. 2. Definitions. As used in this article:
(a) "Agency" means any local government as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIIIC. (b) "Assessment" means any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property. "Assessment" includes, but is not limited to, "special assessment," "benefit assessment," "maintenance assessment" and "special assessment tax." (c) "Capital cost" means the cost of acquisition, installation, construction, reconstruction, or replacement of a permanent public improvement by an agency. (d) "District" means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service. (e) "Fee" or "charge" means any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service. (f) "Maintenance and operation expenses" means the cost of rent, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, fuel, power, electrical current, care, and supervision necessary to properly operate and maintain a permanent public improvement.
(g) "Property ownership" shall be deemed to include tenancies of real property where tenants are directly liable to pay the assessment, fee, or charge in question.

Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Page 38 ends

(h) "Property-related service" means a public service having a direct relationship to property ownership.
(i) "Special benefit" means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute "special benefit." SEC. 3. Property Taxes, Assessments, Fees and Charges Limited. (a) No tax, assessment, fee, or charge shall be assessed by any agency upon any parcel of property or upon any person as an incident of property ownership except: (1) The ad valorem property tax imposed pursuant to Article XIII and Article XIIIA. (2) Any special tax receiving a two-thirds vote pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIIIA. (3) Assessments as provided by this article. (4) Fees or charges for property related services as provided by this article. (b) For purposes of this article, fees for the provision of electrical or gas service shall not be deemed charges or fees imposed as an incident of property ownership.

SEC. 4. Procedures and Requirements for All Assessments. (a) An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. (b) All assessments shall be supported by a detailed engineer's report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California.

Page 39 ends

(c) The amount of the proposed assessment for each identified parcel shall be calculated and the record owner of each parcel shall be given written notice by mail of the proposed assessment, the total amount thereof chargeable to the entire district, the amount chargeable to the owner's particular parcel, the duration of the payments, the reason for the assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated, together with the date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed assessment. Each notice shall also include, in a conspicuous place thereon, a summary of the procedures applicable to the completion, return, and tabulation of the ballots required pursuant to subdivision (d), including a disclosure statement that the existence of a majority protest, as defined in subdivision (e), will result in the assessment not being imposed.
(d) Each notice mailed to owners of identified parcels within the district pursuant to subdivision (c) shall contain a ballot which includes the agency's address for receipt of the ballot once completed by any owner receiving the notice whereby the owner may indicate his or her name, reasonable identification of the parcel, and his or her support or opposition to the proposed assessment.
(e) The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed assessment not less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed assessment to record owners of each identified parcel.

At the public hearing, the agency shall consider all protests against the proposed assessment and tabulate the ballots. The agency shall not impose an assessment if there is a majority protest. A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property.
(f) In any legal action contesting the validity of any assessment, the burden shall be on the agency to demonstrate that the property or properties in question receive a special benefit over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large and that the amount of any contested assessment is proportional to, and no greater than, the benefits conferred on the property or properties in question.
(g) Because only special benefits are assessable, electors residing within the district who do not own property within the district shall not be deemed under this Constitution to have been deprived of the right to vote for any assessment. If a court determines that the Constitution of the United States or other federal law requires otherwise, the assessment shall not be imposed unless approved by a two-thirds vote of the electorate in the district in addition to being approved by the property owners as required by subdivision (e).

SEC. 5. Effective Date.

CONTINUATION OF THE WILDLAND FIRE

SUPPRESSION ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026-2027
WHEREAS, on July 11, 2006, by its Resolution No. 06-064, after receiving a weighted majority of ballots in support of the proposed assessment, this Council ordered the formation of and levied the first assessment within the City of Santa Barbara Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment, pursuant to the authority provided in California Government Code Section 50078 et seq. and Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and
WHEREAS, although the methodology by which the assessments are applied to properties in the District does not change from year to year, a new Engineer’s Report is prepared each year in order to establish the CPI adjustment for that year; the new maximum authorized assessment rate for that year; the budget for that year; and the amount to be charged to each parcel in the District that year, subject to that year’s assessment rate and any changes in the attributes of the properties in the District, including but not limited to use changes, parcel subdivisions, and/or parcel consolidations; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of this Council to continue to levy and collect assessments for the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Within the Assessment District, the proposed services to be funded by the assessments (“Services”) are generally described as including but not limited to, the following: (1) continuation of the vegetation road clearance program to cover all public roads within

Page 2 of 4 ends

the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones, continuing this program will reduce fuel, enhance evacuation routes, and decrease fire response times; (2) enhancing the defensible space fire prevention inspection and assistance program for all properties in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones; and (3) implementation of a vegetation management program in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones. As applied herein, “vegetation road clearance” means the treatment, clearing, reducing, or changing of vegetation near roadways in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill Zones where vegetation poses a fire hazard and does not meet Fire Department Vegetation Road Clearance Standards within the high fire hazard area (As provided in Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 8.04.020.M). “Defensible space” is a perimeter created around a structure where vegetation is treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire towards a structure, reduce the chance of a structure fire burning to the surrounding area, and provides a safe perimeter for firefighters to protect a structure (As provided in Chapter 47 of the California Fire Code, as adopted by the City of Santa Barbara pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 8.04). “Vegetation management” means the reduction of fire hazard through public education, vegetation hazard reduction, and other methods as needed to manage vegetation in areas with unique hazards such as heavy, flammable vegetation, lack of access due to topography and roads, and/or firefighter safety; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2026-023 the City Council preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Report for said District and set a date for a Public Hearing; and WHEREAS, the Public Hearing was held on June 2, 2026; and WHEREAS, said report was duly made and filed with the City Clerk and duly considered by this Council and found to be sufficient in every particular, whereupon it was determined that the report should stand as the Engineer’s Report for all subsequent proceedings under and pursuant to the aforesaid resolution, and that June 2, 2026, at the hour of 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, were appointed as the time and place for a hearing by this Council on the question of the levy of the proposed assessment, notice of which hearing was given as required by law; and
WHEREAS, at the appointed time and place the hearing was duly and regularly held, and all persons interested and desiring to be heard were given an opportunity to be heard, and all matters and things pertaining to the levy were fully heard and considered by the Council, and all oral statements and all written protests or communications were duly heard, considered and overruled, and this council thereby acquired jurisdiction to order the levy and the confirmation of the diagram and assessment prepared by and made a part of the Engineer’s Report to pay the costs and expenses thereof.

Page 3 of 4 ends

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

SECTION 1. The public interest, convenience and necessity require that the levy be made.

SECTION 2. The Assessment District benefited by the fire suppression services and assessed to pay the costs and expenses thereof, and the exterior boundaries thereof, are as shown by a map thereof filed in the office of the City Clerk, which map is made a part hereof by reference thereto.

SECTION 3. The Engineer's Report as a whole and each part thereof, to wit:
(a) the Engineer's estimate of the itemized and total costs and expenses of the fire suppression services and of the incidental expenses in connection therewith;
(b) the diagram showing the assessment district, plans and specifications for the fire suppression services and the boundaries and dimensions of the respective lots and parcels of land within the Assessment District; and (c) the assessment of the total amount of the cost and expenses of the proposed fire suppression services upon the several lots and parcels of land in the Assessment District in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received by such lots and parcels, respectively, from the maintenance, and of the expenses incidental thereto; are finally approved and confirmed.

SECTION 4. Final adoption and approval of the Engineer's Report as a whole, and of the plans and specifications, estimate of the costs and expenses, the diagram and the assessment, as contained in the report as hereinabove determined and ordered, is intended to and shall refer and apply to the report, or any portion thereof as amended, modified, or revised or corrected by, or pursuant to and in accordance with, any resolution or order, if any, heretofore duly adopted or made by this Council.

SECTION 5. The estimated fiscal year 2026-27 net cost of providing the Services is $351,522. This cost results in a proposed assessment rate of ONE HUNDRED AND SIX DOLLARS AND TWENTY CENTS ($106.20) per single-family equivalent benefit unit in the Foothill Zone and ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE DOLLARS AND SIXTY-NINE CENTS ($131.69) in the Extreme Foothill Zone for fiscal year 2026-27 per single family equivalent benefit.

SECTION 6. The assessment to pay the costs and expenses of the fire suppression services for fiscal year 2026-27 is hereby continued.

Page 4 of 4 ends

SECTION 7. Based on the oral and documentary evidence, including the Engineer's Report, offered and received at the hearing, this Council expressly finds and determines (a) that each of the several lots and parcels of land will be specially benefited by the fire suppression services at least in the amount if not more than the amount, of the assessment apportioned against the lots and parcels of land, respectively, and (b) that there is substantial evidence to support, and the weight of the evidence preponderates in favor of, the aforesaid finding and determination as to special benefits.

SECTION 8. Immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, but in no event later than the third Monday in August following such adoption, the City Clerk shall file a certified copy of the diagram and assessment and a certified copy of this resolution with the Auditor of the County of Santa Barbara. Upon such filing, the County Auditor shall enter on the County assessment roll opposite each lot or parcel of land the amount of assessment thereupon as shown in the assessment. The assessments shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as County taxes are collected and all laws providing for the collection and enforcement of County taxes shall apply to the collection and enforcement of the assessments, After collection by the County, the net amount of the assessments, after deduction of any compensation due the County for collection, shall be paid to the City of Santa Barbara Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District.

SECTION 9. Upon receipt of the moneys representing assessments collected by the County, the County shall deposit the moneys in the City Treasury to the credit of the improvement fund previously established under the distinctive designation of the Assessment District. Moneys in the improvement fund shall be expended only for the maintenance, servicing, construction or installation of the fire suppression services.

SECTION 10. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.

Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Community Development Department
Subject: Local Coastal Program Amendment to Rezone a Portion of Santa Barbara Airport Property [Ordinance Introduction; Resolution] Recommendation: That Council:

A. Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Airport Zoning Map in Title 29 to Rezone a Portion of the Property Located at APN 073-450-003 near 404 Moffett Place from A-A-O/S-D-3 (Aircraft Approach and Operation/Coastal Zone) to A-F/SD-3 (Airport Facilities/Coastal Zone); B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Local Coastal Program to Rezone the Southeastern Portion of the Property Located at APN 073-450-003 near 404 Moffett Place from A-AO/S-D-3 (Aircraft Approach and Operation/Coastal Zone) to A-F/S-D-3 (Airport Facilities/Coastal Zone); and
C. Determine that the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review under Section 15265 (Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Discussion:

Project Description
The proposed Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment seeks to rezone an underutilized area of City-owned airport property to allow for consolidation of surface parking closer to the terminal.

The 0.78-acre project site is currently zoned AAO. The AAO zone supports aircraft approach and departure areas and includes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) equipment, runways, taxiways, and areas that need to be clear of development for the safe operation of aircraft. These are areas where it is desirable to enhance safety by restricting incompatible objects and activities, where construction of buildings or structures is precluded by the necessity to preserve most of the air space for low-flying aircraft, and where noise levels are not compatible with most land uses.

The project site is currently underutilized and contains hangars that have fallen into disrepair and are no longer leased. The site is adjacent to the A‑F zone to the north, and the requested Zoning Map Amendment would rezone this area to A‑F, allowing it to become part of a larger future long‑term parking lot. Existing development in the A‑F zone includes other surface parking lots, the terminal, the air traffic control tower, aircraft hangars, the fuel farm, and fixed‑base operators that support private flights. The A‑F zone has a height limit of 45 feet per SBMC 29.87.050.C; however, because of the project site’s proximity to the A‑A‑O zone, runways, and taxiways, any future structure would be subject to lower height limits based on FAA standards.

The project site does not need to be restricted to the uses associated with its current A‑A‑O zoning designation, as it does not contain runways, taxiways, or flight paths and also does not require the associated safety restrictions. For these reasons, the site is suitable for the requested Zoning Map Amendment.

The 2017 Airport Master Plan identified the area south of the existing rental car parking lot area for redevelopment, and staff deemed it an appropriate area for additional longterm parking. Consolidating parking at the terminal complex eliminates the need for the off-site economy lot and shuttle service, thereby improving overall efficiency, reducing costs to the customer, and enhancing the passenger experience. The proposed long-term parking lot, which covers a portion of the subject area, is currently in final design and is expected to be reviewed by the Planning Commission through a Coastal Development Permit later in 2026, contingent upon approval of the LCP Amendment.

The requested LCP Amendment includes amendments to both the Implementation Plan (Title 29 Airport Zoning Map) and the Airport Coastal Plan because the Airport Zoning Map is included on page 4-3 of the Coastal Plan. The underlying land use (Major Public and Institution) would not change.

Previous Actions
On April 16, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended that Council approve the LCP Amendment and the CEQA Determination that exempts the project from further environmental review (Attachment 1 – Planning Commission Report, Attachment 2 – Planning Commission Minutes). On October 16, 2025 (Zoning Map Amendment), and January 8, 2026 (LCP Amendment), the Planning Commission initiated the LCP Amendment (Attachment 1 - Planning Commission Report, Exhibits C and D).

On November 29, 2023, October 16, 2024, and October 15, 2025, the Airport Commission reviewed upcoming Capital Improvement Program airport projects and their associated budgets. At its hearing on October 15, 2025, the Airport Commission approved the preliminary design and budget for the future surface parking lot. This design includes a new surface parking lot south of the terminal that extends partially into the subject site, City Council Agenda Report

with most of the proposed long-term parking located north of the subject site in an area appropriately zoned for parking lots.

Next Steps
If Council approves the LCP Amendment, it will be forwarded to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for Certification. The amendment will take effect automatically upon CCC certification, unless the CCC proposes suggested modifications to the proposed LCP Amendment.

Findings
The City Council must make the following findings in accordance with the City Charter, the Local Coastal Program, and Santa Barbara Municipal Code to amend Section

29.11.001 (Airport Zoning Map) of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code and to amend the zoning map in the Coastal Plan, Component 9: Airport City of Santa Barbara:
a. A duly noticed public hearing before the City Council was held to receive and consider public testimony regarding the proposed changes to Section 29.11.001 of the Airport zoning ordinance.
b. The project is categorically exempt from further environmental review under Section 15265 (Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
c. The amendment is consistent with the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act because the project site is inland, avoiding impacts to coastal access (30210– 30214), recreation areas (30220–30224), and Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA), particularly by excluding the adjacent Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve from the project site. The amendment does not involve any dredging, filling, or alteration of wetlands or marine resources (30230–30233), and by redeveloping an existing paved/hangar area, it protects biological productivity and avoids hazards (30240, 30253). It supports infill development consistent with existing airport facilities (30250), maintains visual and environmental compatibility, and improves transportation efficiency by consolidating parking near the terminal without affecting coastal‑dependent or visitor‑serving uses (30251–30255). The amendment meets the standards for LCP adequacy under Section 30200, because the rezoned project site falls under the Major Public and Institutional land use designation, which maintains projections for nearby sensitive habitats. d. The amendment is consistent with the Local Coastal Program per the Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan, because the Major Public and Institutional land use designation is appropriate for land uses allowed within the A-A-O, A-F, A-C (Airport Commercial) and A-I-1/A-I-2 (Airport Industrial 1 and 2) zones. Therefore, the City Council Agenda Report

June 2, 2026

Page 4 ends

proposed A-F zoning is consistent with the existing Major Public and Institutional land use.

Budget/Financial Information:

The rezone and Local Coastal Program Amendment are administrative actions with no budget implications.

Environmental Review:

Staff has determined that the project qualifies for a statutory exemption from further environmental review under Section 15265 (Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because the statute removes CEQA applicability from actions necessary for adoption of the LCP, including LCP Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments. CEQA Guidelines Section 15265 states “CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals pursuant to the California Coastal Act…necessary for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program” by a local government. The rezone and LCP Amendment include robust environmental protections to be consistent with the Coastal Act, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15265 reflects the state statute’s intent to eliminate duplicative environmental review.

STAFF REPORT
REPORT DATE: April 9, 2026
AGENDA DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: 404 Moffett Place (PLN2026-00086)
Airport and Goleta Slough Local Coastal Program Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Megan Arciniega, Senior Planner
Jessica Metzger, Airport Planner
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Request for a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCP Amendment) and Zoning Amendment to change the Zoning Map in the Title 29 - Airport Zoning for a portion of the Santa Barbara Airport property (APN 073-450-003) from A-A-O/C-Z (Aircraft Approach and Operation/Coastal Overlay) to the A-F/CZ (Airport Facilities/Coastal Overlay). For additional project details, see Exhibit A – Project Site and Exhibit B – Applicant’s Letter.

The Planning Commission initiated the two actions on October 16, 2025 (Exhibit C - Zoning Amendment) and January 8, 2026 (Exhibit D - LCP Amendment). The motion included direction to study broadening the rezone scope to include additional land to the south of the project area.

II. REQUIRED ACTIONS
The actions required at this hearing under the purview of the Planning Commission are:

A. Recommendation to City Council to approve a Zoning Amendment to the Title 29 Zoning Map to change the zoning of the subject site from A-A-O / C-Z to A-F / C-Z (SBMC §30.235);
B. Recommendation to City Council to approve a Local Coastal Plan Amendment to change the Title 29 Zoning Map that is a part of the City’s Local Coastal Program; and C. Recommendation to City Council to make a CEQA Determination that the project is exempt from further environmental review under Section 15265 [Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs] of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

III. RECOMMENDATION
If approved as proposed, the request would conform to the City’s Zoning and Building Ordinances and policies of the General Plan and Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan.

Staff requests that the Planning Commission recommend approval the Zoning Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment to the City Council.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Coastal Act requires that coastal jurisdictions adopt and certify a Local Coastal Program that consists of two main components: a Land Use Plan (policy document) and an Implementation Plan (generally a zoning ordinance). The City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) is further separated into two distinct geographic areas: 1) the Contiguous City Area, and 2) the Airport and Goleta Slough Area, each with their respective Land Use Plans and Implementation Plans.

Title 29 (Airport Zoning Ordinance) is the Implementation Plan for the Airport and Goleta Slough Area that establishes development standards related to coastal access and resource protection. Title 29 also includes the Zoning Map that defines zoning districts. 1 The project seeks
to amend the Zoning Map within Title 29. No other changes to Title 29 are requested. However, changes to either the Land Use Plan or the Implementation Plan of a certified LCP requires an LCP Amendment that is certified by the California Coastal Commission. Therefore, the project requires both a Zoning Amendment and an LCP Amendment. The LCP Amendment and Zoning Amendment must be approved by City Council; however, the LCP Amendment must also be certified by the California Coastal Commission.

Project Site
The entire 826-acre City-owned airport property (APN 073-450-003) is within the Coastal Zone; all portions of the parcel hold a “C-Z” zone. In addition to the coastal zoning designation, the airport property is further divided into ten different zoning classifications intended to implement the land uses required to support airport operations, while protecting coastal resources, such as the Goleta Slough.

The project site involves a 1.18-acre portion of the 826-acre property. The site is located on the southeast side of the main parcel, along the perimeter fence, adjacent to the A-F zone. Half of the site is currently developed with three older airplane hangars and paving to access these hangars. The other half of the site is vacant and contains an underground sewer pipe and an access manhole for the sewer line.
1 The Title 29 Airport and Goleta Slough Zoning Map is also reproduced within the Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Land Use Plan; the requested LCP Amendment would update both.

Airport Parking
The proposed LCP Amendment and Zoning Amendment seek to rezone an under-utilized area of the City-owned airport property to consolidate surface parking closer to the terminal in the future. The existing hangars on the project site are in disrepair and are no longer leased out. The 2017 Airport Master Plan identified this area for redevelopment and Airport Capital Improvement staff deemed it an appropriate area for additional airport parking.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Circular AC 150/5300-18, Aviation Development and Master Planning, outlines key considerations for airport parking, including safety, operational efficiency, accessibility, and cost. For smaller airports, the FAA recommends locating parking adjacent to the terminal, as opposed to off-site. Off-site parking is typically more appropriate for large airports that have infrastructure such as rail or shuttle systems to support access to remote lots.

Currently, the airport’s economy parking lot is located off-site, approximately a 15-minute shuttle ride from the terminal and includes approximately 560 stalls. Shuttle service is required Economy

to transport passengers between the lot and the terminal, creating additional operational costs for the Airport and increasing travel time for users. Consolidating parking at the terminal complex would eliminate the need for shuttle service, improve overall efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance passenger experience. The other surface parking lots for long and short term are also adjacent to the terminal, as shown in Map 4.

Terminal-adjacent parking offers several additional benefits:
• Improved safety and security, with better lighting, visibility, and surveillance coverage; • Faster emergency response times and improved coordination during incidents or evacuations;
• Shorter walking distances for travelers, particularly those with luggage, mobility impairments, or traveling with children; and
• Enhanced accessibility and streamlined access control for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Due to limited available land near the terminal, the Draft Airport Master Plan Update (2025) identifies the 1.18-acre site as an ideal location to meet future terminal parking demands.

However, terminal parking is not a permitted use under the current A-A-O zoning, which is intended for active aviation operations—none of which currently occurs in this area. The proposed zoning change to A-F would better align the site’s zoning with current and future airport needs by enabling long-term parking consistent with FAA guidance and the airport’s long-term development objectives.

Previous Action
On November 29, 2023, October 16, 2024, and October 15, 2025, the Airport Commission reviewed upcoming projects in the Capital Improvements Program for the airport and their associated budgets. At each of these meetings the design was shown and the budget for the future long-term parking lot was approved. This design includes a new surface parking lot south of the terminal and includes the subject site. Most of the proposed long-term parking lot will be north of the subject site. The proposed long-term parking lot is currently in final design and will be reviewed by the Planning Commission through a Coastal Development Permit later in 2026.

Project Scope
The Planning Commission initiated the two actions on October 16, 2025, (Exhibit D - Planning Commission Minutes) the Zoning Amendment and January 8, 2026, the LCP Amendment (Exhibit D - Planning Commission Minutes). At these hearings, the motion the Planning Commission made “recommends initiation of the Zoning Map Amendment with the comment to study broadening the rezone to include the viewing area and additional land to the south of the requested area.” Airport staff’s review of this request indicates that expanding the project area southward to enlarge the parking lot is not feasible given the regulatory designations and environmental protections in place.

The proposed expansion would require changing the Land Use Map designation from Recreational Open Space to Major Public and Institutional, which is inconsistent with the LCP’s stated purpose for the Goleta Slough area. The LCP designates the Goleta Slough as Recreational Open Space with restrictions for educational/scientific use and as a natural preserve where the wetland is to be preserved for wildlife; a change away from Recreational Open Space would violate these protections.

The Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve (Reserve) was designated in 1986 by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and City of Santa Barbara. The boundary corresponds to the area designated as Recreational Open Space in the LCP, and is managed for preservation, enhancement, and restoration. Altering the Reserve would require modifying the 1986 Memo of Recreational Open Space

Understanding with the CDFW and would conflict with LCP policies protecting sensitive habitats. It is unlikely that the CDFW would support an amendment that expands airport operations into the Reserve, if it did not have a FAA safety component associated with it.

The final reason that expanding the scope of the project to the south is not feasible, begins with the creation of that area, shown below in Figure 1. The area identified as parking lot in the previous Planning Commission hearings corresponds to the Goleta Slough viewing overlook area, which is equipped with interpretive signs, a viewing platform, and landscaped with native Goleta Slough species. While the area includes a functional parking component, its primary purpose is to provide a viewing vantage for adjacent wetland habitats rather than to serve as a transportation or parking amenity. This interpretation is consistent with the project context whereby the area was designated and developed in 2003 as a viewing and interpretive space integrated with the Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve and the Recreational Open Space land use designation. The Certified Environmental Impact Report for the 2003 Airfield Safety Project identifies mitigation measures to address wetlands loss caused by components of the project, including Runway Safety Area extension for Runways 7/25, new taxiways, expansion of the Airline Terminal and its parking facilities, and improvements to aircraft facilities. The viewing overlook area functions as part of the approved mitigation strategy by providing habitatcompatible public access and interpretive opportunities that align with the Reserve and Figure 1 – Existing Goleta Slough viewing overlook

Recreational Open Space designations, rather than functioning as a stand-alone parking lot.

While staff evaluated a possible southward expansion of the project area, the study found no compelling justification to proceed with increasing the scope.

Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan Update
The Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan was initially certified by the Coastal Commission in 1982 and was last amended in 2003. Since that amendment, it has not been updated to reflect the long-range planning goals of the draft 2025 Airport Master Plan. As such, Airport staff have been working on a comprehensive Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan update. The comprehensive LCP update is anticipated to be submitted for Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in 2026/27.

VI. DISCUSSION
A. ZONING CONSISTENCY
The project site is currently zoned AAO. The AAO zone supports aircraft approach and departure areas and includes FAA equipment, runways, taxiways, and areas that need to be clear of development for the safe operation of aircraft. The A-A-O zone includes areas beneath the approach surfaces, and the areas of aircraft operations adjacent to runways and taxiways, including runway protection zones, and runway and taxiway safety areas. These are areas where it is desirable to enhance safety by restricting incompatible objects and activities, where construction of buildings or structures is precluded by the necessity to preserve most of the air space for low-flying aircraft, and where noise levels are not compatible with most land uses.

Whereas the Airport Facility (A-F) zone supports facilities for terminal and customer associated operations, in addition to flight facilities. The A-F zone development includes the terminal, terminal parking, the air traffic control tower, aircraft hangars, the fuel farm, and fixed-based operators that handle private flights.

B. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
SBMC §30.235.100 states the Planning Commission shall not recommend, and the Council shall not approve, a Zoning Amendment unless it is found consistent with the City’s General Plan. In this case, the Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan serve as the General Plan.

The Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan split the 826-acre City-owned airport property into two land use classifications: 1) Recreational Open Space and 2) Major Public and Institutional. The project site 1.18-acre is designated as Major Public and Institutional (see Map 2 above). Per the Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan, the Major Public and Institutional designation is appropriate for land uses allowed within the A-A-O, A-F, A-C (Airport Commercial) and A-I-1/A-I-2 (Airport Industrial 1 and 2) zones. Therefore, the proposed A-F zoning is consistent with the Major Public and Institutional land use.

VII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA GUIDELINES AND SBMC CH. 22.100) Staff has determined that the project qualifies for a statutory exemption from further environmental review under Section 15265 (Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the statute removes CEQA applicability to actions necessary, including LCP Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments, for the adoption of the LCP. CEQA Guidelines Section 15265 states “CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals pursuant to the California Coastal Act…necessary for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program” by a local government. The LCP Amendment and Zoning Amendment include robust environmental protections to be consistent with the Coastal Item III Page 10 of 24
Planning Commission Staff Report

Airport LCP Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment
Report Date: April 9, 2026

Page 11 ends

Act, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15265 reflects the state statute’s intent to eliminate duplicative environmental review.

VIII. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
The Planning Commission recommends the following:

A. ZONING AMENDMENT (SBMC §30.235.100)
The proposed Zoning Amendment is appropriate because the A-F/CZ (Airport Facilities/Coastal Overlay) zoning classification is consistent with the subject site’s Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan land use designation, Major Public and Institutional.

B. LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT
The proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment is appropriate because the A-F/CZ (Airport Facilities/Coastal Overlay) zoning classification is consistent with the subject site’s Airport and Goleta Slough Coastal Plan land use designation, Major Public and Institutional.

C. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (SBMC §22.100.160.C; CEQA GUIDELINES) The project qualifies for a statutory exemption from further environmental review under Section 15265 [Adoption of Coastal Plans and Programs] of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, as discussed in the Planning Commission Staff Report dated April 9, 2026.

RE: Applicant Letter/Project Description Proposed Rezone 344 Moffett Place APN: 073-450-003
As the Director of the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), this PLN is submitted to request that the Planning Commission process a Zoning Map Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment to the zoning map included therein for a portion of the property (Attachment A), shifting the designation from the Aircraft Approach and Operation Zone (A-A-O) to the Airport Facilities Zone (A-F). The A-A-O zone provides for suitable land uses in the areas beneath the approach surfaces and in the areas of aircraft operations adjacent to runways and taxiways. The A-F establishes an area in the immediate vicinity of the flight facilities at the airport for aircraft- and airport-related uses and activities, and to exclude from this area activities that do not use the flight facilities as an integral and necessary part of their function, including parking for the airport. The request for a Zoning Map Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment will allow the use of parking to plan for future long-term parking needs.

Fiscal Year 2025 concluded with another record-breaking year at SBA, serving 1.31 million airline passengers, marking the fifth consecutive year of all-time highs in commercial air travel. This sustained growth emphasizes the airport’s vital role in regional mobility and its expanding presence within national and global travel networks. The 2025 Draft Master Plan Update forecasts continued growth, with approximately 1.1 million passengers expected by the end of the 20-year planning period.

Considering this forecasted increase in passenger traffic, SBA anticipates a future need for additional long-term parking. Therefore, we are seeking to change the zoning of the attached portion of parcel 073- 450-003 to better accommodate this ongoing growth.

Additional Comments:

1. The Commission thanks staff for their great presentation, hard work, and important report.

2. In-Lieu Fee funds are to be dedicated specifically to the development of affordable housing, not to be combined with administrative or consultant fees.

3. Commissioner Barnwell suggests informing builders that their units could be leased long term to small business owners who could provide it to their employees, as one option to provide housing to those in the middle income bracket.

4. Commissioner Wardlow emphasizes that this is one step forward but there is a lot of work remaining as the Average Unit-Size Density program has only produced 13 moderate income restricted units so far. Suggests ensuring the process to housing is streamlined and reviewing density in targeted areas where development is desired.

5. Vice Chair DeLuccio recommends reviewing public comment submissions again before presenting the report to City Council.

6. Chair Boss recommends listing public comment submissions received and noting whether it came from an entity or an individual so it is on record.

8. The Commission recommends that City Council consider a discussion regarding ongoing funding sources into the Housing Trust Fund. A value capture mechanism or transfer tax were proposed as options.

1. Upon the enactment of the ordinance introduced on June 2, 2026, the Council of the City of Santa Barbara hereby amends the Local Coastal Program by changing the Zoning Designation of the southeastern portion of the property located at APN 073-450- 003, near 404 Moffett Place, from Aircraft Approach and Operation/Coastal Zone (A-AO/CZ) to Airport Facilities/Coastal Zone (A-F/CZ) by amending Section 29.11.001 (Airport Zoning Map) of Title 29 (Airport Zoning) and amending the Airport Zoning Map in the Airport and Goleta Slough Local Coastal Plan.

a. The amendment is consistent with the policies of the California Coastal Act because it is consistent with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200) Policies of the Coastal Act regarding public access and public recreation, because the project will not impede public access to the coast, and there will be minimal effects on public recreation.

In the event that the California Coastal Commission certifies the Local Coastal Program Amendment with suggested modifications, City Council approval of the modified Local Coastal Program Amendment shall require a separate action by the City Council following California Coastal Commission certification. In this case, the Local Coastal Program Amendment would become effective on the date the California Coastal Commission concurs at public hearing that the City Council properly accepted the modified Local Coastal Program Amendment with suggested modifications.

City of Santa Barbara
Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: City Administrator’s Office
Subject: Draft Terms of Agreement for the Proposed Redevelopment at Paseo Nuevo, including Terms between the City of Santa Barbara and Yardi Systems and between the City of Santa Barbara and DSP
Recommendation: That Council:

Executive Summary:

The Paseo Nuevo Redevelopment Project represents a major opportunity to revitalize the center of Downtown Santa Barbara by transforming the long-vacant former Macy’s and Nordstrom buildings into a vibrant, mixed-use development. The current draft proposal is anchored by adaptive reuse of both buildings, enabling downtown revitalization to move faster, with less construction disruption, and with significant community benefits. City staff are bringing forward the negotiated framework for initial public discussion and Council direction.

This draft negotiated framework involves multiple parties pursuing separate but complementary strategies for redevelopment and revitalization of Paseo Nuevo, with significant community benefits.

Yardi Systems, a local company with global reach, will repurpose the former Macy’s building to serve as its corporate offices. Yardi Systems would acquire fee ownership of a majority of Paseo Nuevo from the City, including the former Macy’s parcel and building, the inline shopping parcels and center, and the mall’s parking lot (Lot #1). To enhance the public benefits from this approach, Yardi Systems would contribute $5 million to the City’s Local Agenda Item No. 13
