AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/18/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution Extending the Emergency Declaration in Connection with the December 2024 Municipal Wharf Emergency (CA/CM)
LOCATION: District 4
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution extending by sixty days the Local Emergency Declaration in connection with the December 2024 Municipal Wharf emergency.

BACKGROUND: On December 23, 2024, at approximately 12:45 p.m., the City experienced a high surf event causing approximately 150 feet of a section of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf to collapse into the ocean. Damage to the Wharf is extensive and has resulted in significant cleanup efforts. Out of concerns for public safety around this unprecedented event, the City closed the Wharf, Cowell Beach, and Main Beach and multiple small businesses were impacted.

On December 24, 2024, the City Manager issued a “Proclamation of Existence of Local Emergency.” The City Manager re-issued the Proclamation of Existence of Local Emergency on December 31, 2024, and January 7, 2025.

DISCUSSION: Government Code section 8630 authorizes a governing body of a city or an official designated by ordinance to proclaim the existence of a local emergency. Santa Cruz Municipal Code section 2.20.030 empowers the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when the City is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity or disaster, subject to confirmation by the City Council at the “earliest practicable time.” During the existence of such emergency, the Director of Emergency Services is also authorized, pursuant to Section 2.20.040(1), to “[m]ake and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency,” also subject to confirmation by the City Council “at the earliest practicable time.”
In view of the facts and circumstances described above, the City Manager declared the existence of a local emergency in the City of Santa Cruz on December 24, 2024, and declared the continued existence of a local emergency on December 31, 2024, and January 7, 2025. The City Council ratified the emergency declaration by Resolution No. NS-30,423 at its January 14, 2025 regular meeting.

5.1 The attached resolution, if adopted by the City Council, would extend the emergency declaration related to the December 2024 Wharf emergency by an additional 60 days, to May 10, 2025.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is not a “project” under CEQA. “Project” is defined by CEQA as:
“an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and which is any of the following:
(a) An activity directly undertaken by any public agency. (b) An activity undertaken by a person which is supported, in whole or in part, through contracts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies. (c) An activity that involves the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065.) The proposed resolution is not a “project” under CEQA because it does not have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment directly or indirectly. Any action taken to repair the Wharf or mitigate damages, if considered a “project” under CEQA, would be exempt as an emergency project pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 18, Section 15269.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This action is consistent with the three pillars of HiAP.

Specifically, the action has a nexus with public health in that the resolution is intended to aid the City in clean up and recovery efforts to protect the public health and safety along the Wharf and City beaches.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: Actions taken by the City during a declared emergency are potentially recoverable from Cal OES (California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services) and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/19/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: Award Contract for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Grant Administration Services for Coastal Restoration Projects (CM)
LOCATION: Districts 1, 2, and 4
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Award a contract for professional grant administrative services to support the coastal restoration projects funded by a NOAA Coastal Resilience Regional Challenge Grant (Grant) to The Ferguson Group (TFG) in the amount of $799,500, reject all other proposals; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with TFG. The Purchasing Manager is authorized to execute change orders within the approved budget.

BACKGROUND: In July 2024, California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF) was awarded nearly $71M in grant funds from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Climate Resilience Regional Challenge. The City of Santa Cruz is a subawardee of these grant funds in the amount of $7,887,878. The funded projects will address challenges posed by extreme weather events and other climate change impacts, such as sea level rise, atmospheric rivers, and drought. The City will use its portion of the funding to support the planning, design, and construction of resiliency projects at three critical locations: the mouth of the San Lorenzo River on Main Beach, San Lorenzo Park, and Jessie Street Marsh. Grant administration services are needed to lend capacity to the City and support completion of all reporting requirements as well as develop systems to track progress on grant deliverables over the course of the grant term. Staff issued a competitive solicitation to select one qualified consultant to provide grant administration services to the City for the projects.

DISCUSSION: On December 13, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Grant Administration Services for the Coastal Restoration Project. The RFP Scope of Services included set up of a shared file collaboration site, communication with staff, scheduling review meetings as necessary, collection of progress updates and expenditure reports, preparation of invoicing and backup documentation and preparing all reporting. This work will also include close coordination with the CMSF, and use of the tools and templates developed by the CMSF. The

7.1 RFP was posted on the City’s website to ensure that the RFP was conducted in an open and competitive manner and the City issued a solicitation notification to a bid list of 11,086 vendors the same day.

Proposals were due at 4:00 PM PST on January 8, 2025, and the City received proposals from six firms by that time. After being checked for responsiveness, all six firms’ proposals were evaluated by an evaluation committee consisting of subject matter experts in grant administration, coastal restoration, and resilience project construction. Proposals were evaluated for adherence to RFP requirements, firm background, firm qualifications, team qualifications, expertise and experience, work plan for providing grant administration, references, and cost.

Regional Water Management Foundation (RWMF) received a total score of 88.20 out of 100.

Staff initiated negotiations with RWMF on January 29, 2025. After a week of negotiations, RWMF withdrew their proposal on February 4. 2025. Staff then initiated negotiations with the next highest-ranked proposer, The Ferguson Group. The Ferguson Group received a total score of 81.94 out of 100. Attachment: Evaluation Tabulation includes the scores for all six firm proposals. Staff recommends awarding the contract to The Ferguson Group with an effective date of March 14, 2025. The grant administration services are needed as soon as possible, given grant funded work is already underway. The proposed contract would have an initial contract period of four years and eight months.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: Not applicable. The proposed contract for grant administration services is not a “project” under CEQA because no direct or indirect physical change to the environment is anticipated, nor does the grant administration services represent the type of activity described in Public Resources Code section 21065.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Grant administration services is an important part of successful delivery of the projects funded by the NOAA grant. While award of the grant administration contract does not have direct relevancy to the pillars of HiAP, the projects funded by the NOAA grant do consider all three pillars of the initiative. First, the projects support the City’s sustainability and resiliency goals and plans by (1) improving the resiliency of the City’s low-lying areas, (2) the use of nature-based solutions for flood protection and (3) the carbon sequestration potential of nature-based solutions in mitigating carbon emissions. Second, the projects will contribute to improvement in public health in several ways by: (1) reducing the threat flooding poses to human life and safety, (2) reducing mold occurrence in buildings susceptible to flooding which will lead to improved respiratory health outcomes for those who reside and work in those buildings, and (3) reducing the potential of parasites, viruses, and other harmful pollutants contained in floodwaters in causing illness and disease. Last, the projects consider equity by (1) improving flood control capacity in our low lying, frontline neighborhoods, (2) developing the projects through early frontline neighborhood engagement and tribal consultation, (3) capacity building and coordination with the Monterey Bay Climate Justice Collaborative, and (4) developing multiple workforce development pathways.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No

7.2 FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The fee for consulting services from The Ferguson Group is $799,500, which covers the scope of work outlined in Attachment: Professional Services Agreement. Grant funds awarded from the NOAA grant have been appropriated to project numbers c402513 (Main Beach Living Shoreline) and c302518 (Santa Cruz City Parks Flood Mitigation and Habitat Enhancement and Restoration) to fulfill the overall scope of the grant.

The funds for grant administration services will be divided between these two project numbers, depending on which project the contractor is working on. There will be no impact on the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/11/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: 2025 Legislative Program (CM)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt the 2025 Legislative Program.

BACKGROUND: The Legislative Program (Program) establishes the principles that will guide the City’s policy and legislative advocacy efforts at the regional, state, and federal level. The program focuses on the key areas that will enable the City of Santa Cruz to deliver projects and programs to meet the needs of our community. Adopted annually, the City’s Program serves as a reference to guide the development of positions on legislative proposals and provides guidance for the City Council and staff throughout the year.

The City Council reviewed the Program at their January 28, 2025 meeting and provided direction to staff on their top three priorities for 2025. In addition, the Council provided further direction on the legislative platform which has been incorporated into the 2025 Legislative Program.

DISCUSSION: Each year, the Program is updated to highlight legislative and funding priorities for consideration and adoption by the City Council. The City Council met in January and identified their top three priorities for 2025:

1. Pro-Housing Incentives: Advance legislation providing relief from the Density Bonus Law to local governments that are meeting state housing targets. This relief would be in the form of reducing incentives or concessions that a developer would otherwise be eligible for on a project.

2. Homelessness Response: Support unrestricted, on-going state funding to cities that support homeless prevention programs, outreach teams, shelter programs and encampment clean-up programs.

3. Infrastructure: Provide funding for projects that build resiliency, restore or replace the City’s aging infrastructure, especially transit, transportation & climate resiliency.

8.1 The City Council approved six key Platform issue areas, each with detailed policy positions as shown below. The policy positions have been updated to include direction provided by the City Council in January.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is not a “project” under CEQA because it does not have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment directly or indirectly.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Adopting a Legislative Program ensures the pillars of HIAP are integrated into all aspects of governance, supporting a comprehensive and coordinated approach to improving health outcomes across different sectors. The Legislative Program can support the long-term goals of HiAP by shaping policies that address environmental sustainability, public safety, economic stability and other factors that influence health.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: No fiscal impacts.

8.4 PURPOSE
2025 Legislative Program
The Legislative Program establishes the principles that will guide the City’s policy and legislative advocacy efforts at the regional, state, and federal level. The program focuses on key areas that will enable the City of Santa Cruz to deliver projects and programs that meet the needs of our community. The purpose of the program is to position the City to capitalize on funding opportunities and provide input into legislation in both Washington, D.C. and Sacramento.

Each year, the Legislative Program is updated in consultation with the Mayor, City Council, and City departments to highlight legislative and funding priorities for consideration and adoption by the City Council. Recognizing the importance of promoting priorities, the City develops a legislative program consistent with the City Council Strategic Plan. The City’s Legislative Program serves as a reference to guide the development of positions on legislative proposals and provides guidance for the City Council and staff throughout the year.

The Legislative Program is presented in three sections. The first section is the 2025 Legislative Priority Section. Each of these areas will be the focus of the City’s legislative advocacy efforts. The second section contains the City’s Legislative Platform.

The Platform is the City Council’s declared policies on various issues impacting the City.

The Platform sets forth the City’s legislative objectives for the 2025 legislative sessions, and provides direction for the City’s legislative representatives and advocates as they work to secure strategic initiatives in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. It is intended to articulate the City’s positions on issues that are currently, or anticipated to be, the focus of future legislation by the state or federal governments. The Platform streamlines the City’s advocacy efforts by enabling City staff to take immediate action on pressing legislative items efficiently and without delay under City Council direction. The last section is a Legislative Action Guide for Council and staff on how to appropriately advocate for legislation and budget provisions favorable to the City.

8.16 Legislative Action
Manual
Internal Coordination of
the Legislative Program
Track
Legislation is tracked by the City Manager’s
Office or brought to the City’s attention by
residents, agencies, departments,
organizations, public servants, and others.

In addition, departments are urged to take
the initiative to identify legislation of
importance to the City.

Review
The City Manager’s Office reviews the
proposed legislation and, if warranted,
requests assistance from one or more
departments. The City Manager or the
appropriate departments evaluate the bill for
its impact on the City of Santa Cruz,
recommend a position and potential action,
and, as appropriate, draft a statement or
letter for use by the City Manager’s Office.

Determine Course of Action
One of two actions can be taken:

If the City Council has adopted a policy
directly relevant to the legislation of
concern, the City Manager’s Office may
proceed to prepare a letter for the
Mayor’s signature;
If City Council policy does not exist, if
the issue is politically controversial, or if
there is significant local interest in the
issue(s) posed by the legislation, the
proposed legislation is referred to the
City Council.

Referral to Council
The City Council will consider the
information provided in a staff report,
determine its position on the legislation and
provide appropriate direction to staff.

Advocacy
The City Council, staff delegate, or
government relations consultant will connect
with appropriate legislative bodies
throughout the legislative year.

Engagement Strategies
Staff and the City’s government relations
consultants will employ a variety of public
engagement strategies to support the 2025
Legislative Program, including:

Direct Engagement
Engage policymakers directly and guide
sponsored legislation, submit
correspondence, and provide public
testimony that communicates and advances
the City’s legislative and budget priorities
and positions.

Building Coalitions
Engage local, regional, and statewide
stakeholders to advocate on specific issues
and participate in local, regional, statewide,
and national coalitions organized to advance
positions that are consistent with the 2025
Legislative Program. Lead a statewide
coalition of coastal cities to advocate for
policy and funding reform around the issue
of homelessness.

Agency Connections

relationships to advance state and federal
funding competitiveness for the priorities
identified in the 2025 Legislative program.

8.18 Legislative Action Manual
Guidelines for Evaluating
Legislation
Bills are frequently amended during their
introduction and approval processes. Due to
this, analyses and letters expressing the
City’s position should be based on the most
up-to-date version of the bill.

Citywide Perspective
Bills often impact multiple departments in
different ways. Therefore, it is essential that
these different impacts are taken into
consideration to form a balanced citywide
position. It is the responsibility of the City
Manager’s office to work with departments
to reconcile differences.

Stating the City’s Position
If the department recommendation is to
support, oppose, or amend a bill, it is
important to draft the body of a letter that
the City Manager’s Office can use in writing
to the legislators. The City Manager’s Office
will put the letter in final form and send it to
the appropriate committees, legislators, etc.

A copy of the finalized letter will be routed
to the evaluating department for its records.

Other Key Aspects
Providing feedback to departments on
the progress of legislation of interest.

Keeping the Council informed of the
status of the City’s legislative program.

Recommending priorities for legislative
action to ensure the effectiveness of the
City’s lobbying activities.

Planning, coordinating, and facilitating
lobbying activities by Councilmembers
and staff.

Maintaining legislative files (bill texts,
correspondence, records of lobbying
activity, background information, Council
policies).

Serving as liaison to Cal Cities, the
National League of Cities, and other
organizations and jurisdictions
concerning legislative activities.

Coordinating the annual review of
legislative positions and preparing the
City’s legislative platform.

The Role of Departments
The participation of the City’s various
departments is essential to the success of
the Legislative Program. The program
requires departments to take responsibility
for identifying, evaluating, and monitoring
legislation related to their functional areas.

Steps to Take
Inform the City Manager’s Office of
legislative issues key to the City.

Designate a contact within the
department or division who will be
responsible for coordinating the
evaluation of legislation and monitoring
legislative issues of direct significance
to the department. Continue to monitor
bills as they progress through the
Legislature or Congress.

Establish a system within the department
for assuring that requests for the
evaluation of legislation are addressed
promptly.

Draft letters and provide analysis of
legislation as requested by City
Manager’s Office.

Maintain a legislative file with the
department to ensure consistency of
policy recommendations.

Establish mechanisms within the
department for accessing direct
information on legislation.

Network with other cities, agencies,
professional organizations, etc., to gain
background information and a broader
perspective on legislative issues.

Suggest organizations, individuals,
publications, and legislators who may be
allies in lobbying the City’s position on
legislation.

Understand and adhere to the City’s
Legislative Advocacy Policy. Consult the
City Manager’s Office if there are
questions.

Provide annual department
recommendations to the City Manager’s
Office for the ensuing year’s legislative
platform including review of existing
positions; statements of underlying
policies and principles; and priorities
related to specific legislative issues.

City of Santa Cruz 2025 Legislative Program

8.19 Legislative Action Manual
City Advisory Commissions and
Committees
City employees who are staff or liaisons to
Council-appointed advisory commissions
and committees should encourage the
bodies to alert the Council to legislation on
which they recommend taking a position.

Should legislative analysis and advocacy be
a required function of the advisory
commission or committee, those bodies shall
ensure that function is carried out according
to its bylaws.

Lobbying Methods
Listed here are a number of ways to inform
and persuade legislators and others of the
City’s position on proposed legislation.

Departmental participation in the planning
and implementation of these activities is
critical to the City’s success. Departments
should let the City Manager’s Office know of
its interest and suggestions for lobbying bills
they have evaluated.

Letters
Letters to the following groups or individuals
must follow specific protocol.

The authors of proposed legislation
The City’s elected representatives in the
state Legislature and CongressThe Chair
and members of legislative committees
The Governor or President
To submit a position letter to a committee
you must first register on the California
Legislature Position Letter Portal. After you
complete your registration, you can submit
your position letter to communicate your
views to the bill author’s staff as well as the
committee that will be hearing the bill. Most
committees require letters a week in
advance of a hearing. All records of mail and
e-mail will be maintained by the City
Manager’s Office.

Telephone calls
Phone calls are useful for discussing with
legislative staff the content and implications
of a bill and for suggesting amendments or
language clarification. However, many
committees’ rules prevent them from
counting phone calls as a legitimate
expression of a City’s position on a bill. Proand con-positions are recorded if they are received in writing.

Legislative Advocacy
The City Council holds the final authority for
determining the position that will be taken
by the City on legislation. The process
outlined below would likely be followed only
for key and controversial topics. Due to
timing or the nature of the issue, the Mayor
may sign a letter supporting or opposing
legislation on behalf of the City. This position
would need to be consistent with the City’s
overall guiding legislative principles or the
annually adopted priorities.

Process
Signatures
Letters and other communications
expressing the City’s position on legislation
will customarily bear the signature of the
Mayor, particularly when the legislation
relates to areas of City policies and
programs, other Council adopted policies,
issues of Council interest, and fiscal matters.

Letters and Other Communications
Expressing the City’s position on legislation
not related to areas of City policies and
programs, other Council adopted policies,
issues of Council interest, and fiscal matters
require Council direction for the Mayor’s
signature.

If the legislation’s principal impact is on the
City’s operating procedures, the City
Manager may sign the communication.

Copies of the letters will be distributed in the
Council agenda packet to keep the Council
and others informed of all City
communications on legislation.

Independent Lobbying by City Personnel
City employees are not to lobby in the name
of the City of Santa Cruz unless the
department head has approved the activity,
and the City Manager has been informed in
advance of the activity.

City of Santa Cruz 2025 Legislative Program

8.20 Legislative Action Manual
Letter Writing
Concentrate on the letter content, rather
than format. The City Manager’s Office
will produce the final letter, addressing it
to the proper legislators or committees
and securing the appropriate signature.

At the start of the letter, indicate the bill
number or legislative title that is the
subject of the letter.

A short, concise letter is generally more
effective than a lengthy treatise.

Provide specific examples of the impact
of the legislation on the City of Santa
Cruz.

When it is appropriate, discuss the
effects of the proposed legislation on the
legislator’s constituents.

City Council Meetings with Elected
Representatives
Typically, the City Council meets annually
with its county, state, and federal
representatives. These meetings are an
important component of building legislative
relationships and to share issues of
importance to the City of Santa Cruz. These
meetings should be scheduled at the
appropriate times during the respective
legislative calendars.

At direction of City Council, the other
Elected Representative, or the City Manager,
staff will schedule a meeting with the
representative. The City Manager will seek
agenda items from the Mayor and Council.

Staff from the City Manager’s Office will
obtain agenda items from Departments and
staff in the representative’s office.

Lobbying Methods, Continued
Meeting with elected representatives in
the district, Sacramento, or Washington
It is Council’s practice to invite legislators
representing Santa Cruz to an annual
meeting to discuss all issues of importance
to the City during that legislative session.
·Councilmembers are encouraged to attend
legislative days set by the National League
of Cities or Cal Cities.

Resolutions
The Council is sometimes asked to adopt a
resolution expressing its position on a bill.

Resolutions are frequently sought by
organizations as an indication of widespread
support for a position, but they are less
effective than letters when communicating
directly with a legislator.

Testimony
Testifying in person at a legislative
committee hearing provides an opportunity
to present the City’s position and respond to
questions. The City Manager, the Mayor, a
Councilmember, or the staff person with
particular expertise in the subject assumes
the responsibility.

Editorial support from newspapers serving
the Santa Cruz community
·Staff members must seek approval from the
City Manager’s Office before submitting
editorials in newspapers.

Press Conferences
Press conferences are called by the City
Manager or the Mayor and are staged in a
location relevant to the issues being lobbied.

Any press conference should be coordinated
with the City Manager’s Office.

Coalitions with other jurisdictions
These alliances are not limited to
governmental bodies, but extend to all
segments of the broader community that
can similarly be affected by the legislation,
e.g. businesses, nonprofit organizations,
environmental groups, etc.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: 2024 Citywide Sewer/Storm Drain Lining Project (c401511) – Notice of Completion (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to accept the work of Insituform Technologies, LLC. (Chesterfield, MO) as completed per plans and specifications, authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion for the 2024 Citywide Sewer/Storm Drain Lining Project (c401511), and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Notice of Completion as the Owner’s Authorized Agent.

BACKGROUND: At its June, 25, 2024 meeting, the City Council approved the authorization to advertise the 2024 Citywide Sewer/Storm Drain Lining Project and authorized the City Manager to execute the contract. On August 6, 2024, the project was awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Insituform Technologies, LLC. Construction began on December 6, 2024 and included the rehabilitation of 2,541 linear feet of the City’s sanitary sewer and 173 linear feet of the City’s storm drain through the cured-in-place pipe method (CIPP).

Nine associated manhole structures were rehabilitated with a cementitious coating.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: City of Santa Cruz Resource Recovery Facility Appliance Recycler Services – Award of Contract (PW)
LOCATION: District 6
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to award the Appliance Recycler Services contract to Campos Bros. Recovery, Inc. (West Sacramento, CA). The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney, as authorized by Resolution No. NS-27,563. The Public Works Director is authorized to execute change orders within the approved project budget.

BACKGROUND: At its June 25, 2024 meeting, City Council approved the specifications for the City of Santa Cruz Resource Recovery Facility (SCRRF) Appliance Recycler Services to advertise the project for bids. The project was advertised on OpenGov as IFB No. PW-0139 SCRRF Appliance Recycler Services between August 2, 2024 and August 26, 2024. Two bids were received at the bid opening on August 26, 2024.

DISCUSSION: Freon Free, Inc. was the apparent low bidder at the time of bid opening. City staff sent out the Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) via email on September 6, 2024 notifying both bidders of the City’s intent to award the project to Freon Free Inc. after determining that all the bid packets were complete.

As part of their due diligence in determining that Freon Free Inc. was responsive, City staff then reviewed the required documents to complete the award of the service contract. At issue here is that Freon Free Inc. changed their company name to Freon and Metal Recycling Company in October 2024 due to the death of their business owner. With this change, the City’s requested Freon and Metal Recycling Company to provide DTSC’s Appliance Recycler Certification under the new company name. With the understanding that it might take time to get a new company’s documentation in order, City staff extended the timeline to provide the certification.

In November 2024 and January 2025, City staff followed up on their request of the certification from Freon and Metal Recycling Company, but did not receive the required paperwork. On February 6, 2025, the City sent out a Notice of Non-Responsiveness to Freon and Metal Recycling Company to inform them that their bid has been deemed non-responsive.

10.1 The City followed the Notice of Non-Responsiveness with a Notice of Intent to Award informing both bidders that the City intends to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Campos Bros. Recovery, Inc., for their responsive and responsible bid on this project.

The lowest bidder was unable to provide the proper documentation, therefore rendering their bid non-responsive.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This program promotes the following Health in All Policies Conditions: The appliance recycling services offered at the SCRRF contributes to the Healthy Environments pillar of Health in All Policies Conditions. It addresses the CORE Community Indicators of “Concern for the environment” and “Environmental stewardship.” FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: Funds are available in the FY 2025 Refuse Fund Operating Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Active Transportation Plan (c402408) - Outreach Consulting Contract Amendment 1 (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve Contract Amendment 1 with Ecology Action (Santa Cruz, CA) reducing the original contract to $53,186 for outreach consulting for the Active Transportation Plan Update and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Public Works Director is authorized to execute future contract amendments within the approved project budget.

BACKGROUND: At its April 11, 2023 meeting, City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for, accept, and appropriate funds from the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program for the Active Transportation Plan Update.

On August 31, 2023, the City of Santa Cruz (City) was notified of the successful grant award. At its October 10, 2023 meeting, Council adopted resolutions to execute grant agreements with Caltrans and execute a budget adjustment to reflect the grant award.

At its April 30, 2024 meeting, City Council adopted a recommendation to award a contract for outreach consulting for the Active Transportation Plan Update to Ecology Action for $118,000.

Due to changes in staffing capacity, the City and Ecology Action have collaborated to reduce the scope of services in the contract award to ensure project delivery.

DISCUSSION: The City worked with Ecology Action on the Active Transportation Plan grant application, with Ecology Action identified as a sub-applicant. Ecology Action has deep connections in the Santa Cruz community, having completed similar projects for the City, County of Santa Cruz, and cities of Watsonville and Scotts Valley. Their deep understanding and relationships with local groups enhance the results of these complex planning efforts.

Since the contract with Ecology Action was awarded, Ecology Action has experienced significant staffing changes. These staffing changes limit the ability of Ecology Action to fully deliver the originally contracted scope of services at this time. Specifically, Ecology Action will no longer provide support for the technical advisory committee or existing conditions inventory.

Instead, these tasks will be provided by a combination of City staff and other consultants. The remaining tasks will be completed by Ecology Action at a reduced level of effort with added

11.1 support by City staff and others. These changes allow the project to move forward on time and on budget while still leveraging Ecology Action’s local expertise.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The Active Transportation Plans qualify for a Statutory Exemption under PRC Section 21080.20(a)(1), which states:

This division does not apply to an active transportation plan, a pedestrian plan, or a bicycle transportation plan for the restriping of streets and highways, bicycle parking and storage, signal timing to improve street and highway intersection operations, and the related signage for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The Active Transportation Plan promotes the following Health in All Policies Conditions:

Health and Wellness: Planning for and creating places for people to walk and bike fosters health and wellness across the community.

Healthy Environments: The Active Transportation Plan aims to increase the proportion of trips made by walking and biking. This supports the Climate Action Plan and assists in reducing the climate impacts of vehicle emissions from the transportation sector.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The revised total value of the contract will be reduced to $53,186. This project is grant funded from the California Department of Transportation. The matching funds requirement is met by staff time working on this effort. There is no impact to the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (Rail Trail) Segment 7 Phase II Project (c401413) – Budget Adjustment (PW)
LOCATION: Districts 3 and 4
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending the FY 2025 budget to appropriate funds in the amount of $900,000 from Measure D to the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (Rail Trail) Segment 7 Phase 2 (c401413).

BACKGROUND: The Rail Trail Segment 7 Phase II (c401413) is a 0.8 mile long paved bicycle and pedestrian path between the intersections of Bay Street at California Street and Pacific Avenue at Beach Street. The project will connect to the recently completed Coastal Rail Trail Segment 7 Phase I, which serves over 800 active transportation users per day with a 12-16 foot wide paved trail on the coastal side of the railway. Together Phase I and Phase II create 2.1 miles of the Coastal Rail Trail spine between Natural Bridges Drive and Pacific Avenue at the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. The two-phase trail will connect over 30,000 residents who live within one mile of the project to schools, work, beaches, shopping and other activity centers.

At its January 26, 2021 meeting, City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (Rail Trail) Segment 7 Phase II Project, authorized staff to advertise for bids, and directed the City Manager to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney.

On April 21, 2022, the project was awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) in the amount of $11,395,666.80 (including 5% contingency).

At its November 28, 2023 meeting, City Council approved a resolution amending the FY 2024 budget to appropriate funds in the amount of $2,950,000 from Wastewater enterprise (m409659) and Measure D portions of Rail Trail Segment 8 & 9 (C401804), Pavement (c400809), Pavement (c400810), Bay Drive (c402304), to Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (Rail Trail) Segment 7 Phase II Project (c401413).

Since the last council update, work has progressed on the trail, and is nearing completion, but another year of wet weather and construction impacts have increased the cost of the project.

12.1 DISCUSSION: Due to a second consecutive year of extreme winter events in 2023/2024, and additional work needed to address design conflicts along the proposed trail, the project has experienced over six months of delay and is anticipated to incur $900,000 dollars of extra cost.

The site is situated adjacent to Neary Lagoon and is inundated with groundwater during and after rain events. These site conditions have contributed to design modifications that require the removal or stabilization of soils to build the trail and adjacent retaining walls. These conditions are often uncovered during construction and made worse by rainfall.

A major unanticipated cost was the construction of a concrete cutoff wall at the eastern end of the project. The wall was required to limit groundwater so the soil could be adequately compacted to sustain the asphalt path. The groundwater, blocked by the cut-off wall, is now routed into a modified storm drain system. This effort required design and construction of elements not originally anticipated in the design contract. Additionally, the prior storm events have resulted in extensive erosion of the hillside on the coastal side of the trail. That has resulted in the need for additional backfill behind the retaining wall system.

The additional time required to complete the above unforeseen conditions on the project has also increased the costs of flagging for railroad operations, construction management, and engineering and design support. The funds allocated at the November 2023 budget adjustment have been insufficient to cover the high costs of building a new wall and modifying the storm drain system as described above. This adjustment will ensure the project can be completed this spring.

Furthermore, the project will install 15 security cameras along the length of the new rail trail (Segment 7 Phase 2) after construction is complete. This work will be coordinated with the City of Santa Cruz Information Technology Department, Fire Department, Police Department, and Public Works Department. The cost of installing the 15 security cameras is included in the budget adjustment.

The budget adjustment allocates funds from Measure D, a local source for transportation project funding. If less funds are required, they will remain usable by other Measure D eligible projects.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: On April 19, 2019, the Planning Commission approved the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Coastal Permit, Design Permit and Slope Modification/Variance and Heritage Tree Removal Permit for the Rail Trail Segment 7 Phase II project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was adopted for the project on June 11, 2019, and a Notice of Determination was filed with the County Clerk of Santa Cruz County on June 13, 2019.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (Rail Trail) Segment 7 Phase II project promotes the following HiAP Conditions:

Health and Wellness – The Rail Trail Segment 7 Phase II project promotes behaviors that maintain or improve health by providing a new venue to promote the use of “active living” transportation modes, such as walking and biking, and decreasing single-occupancy vehicle trips.

Also, the General Plan calls for a “citywide interconnected system of safe, inviting, and accessible pedestrian ways and bikeways” (Goal M4).

12.2 Heathy Environments – The Rail Trail Segment 7 Phase II project promotes reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which will be achieved largely by providing safe paths for low-carbon transportation options as an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle trips.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: Yes

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: A budget adjustment for project c401413 is needed for $900,000 dollars to complete the project. The proposed budget adjustment will be funded through the local Measure D funds. The funding change within Measure D will not eliminate planned projects; they will be funded by other sources instead or deferred to later years. There is no impact to the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Measure E Oversight Committee (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion authorizing the Mayor to appoint Water Commissioner Julianne Rhodes, and Transportation and Public Works Commissioners Susan Gilchrist and Ron Goodman to serve on the Measure E Oversight Committee.

BACKGROUND: The Clean River, Beaches, and Ocean tax, also known as Measure E, was approved by City voters in the November 2008 general election. The funds generated from this tax are dedicated to running the City’s stormwater management program, which includes maintaining and improving stormwater systems, conducting water quality monitoring, and ensuring stormwater permit compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board. This special purpose property tax generates approximately $650,000 annually via a flat charge per parcel citywide. Included in Measure E is a provision that calls for an independent oversight committee to convene and review the use of the tax proceeds. The committee was historically comprised of two members from the Transportation Public Works Commission and one member from the San Lorenzo River Committee. Meetings were held at least once a year to review the fund’s proposed expenditures with Public Works Department staff.

In 2020, the Measure E Oversight Committee ceased meeting due to the pandemic. Additionally, the San Lorenzo River Committee has since been dissolved. To catalyze the revival of the Measure E Oversight Committee, Public Works staff attended the December 9, 2024 Water Commission meeting to recommend a Water Commissioner participate in this committee. The Water Commission then nominated Julianne Rhodes. On January 27, 2025, the Transportation and Public Works Commission nominated two of their own members: Susan Gilchrist and Ron Goodman.

DISCUSSION: The Clean River, Beaches, and Ocean Tax Ordinance (No. 2008-21) calls for an oversight committee to review the use of the Tax Proceeds. Public Works staff recommend the Mayor appoint the nominated members from both the Water Commission and the Transportation and Public Works Commission so the Measure E Oversight Committee may continue its duty to help review the use of Measure E Tax Proceeds.

13.1 The Measure E Oversight Committee is a working group and not a standing committee.

Therefore, there are no conflicts with the members serving on this committee in addition to their respective advisory bodies.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Resource Recovery Facility Enclosed Flare Installation Project (c402512) – Authorization to Ratify Purchase Order (PW)
LOCATION: District 6
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to ratify purchase order for the direct purchase of the enclosed flare, related equipment, shipping and startup with Perennial Energy LLC (West Plains, MO) at the Resource Recovery Facility in the amount of $1,023,314.01, in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Public Works Director is authorized to execute change orders within the approved project budget.

BACKGROUND: On August 13, 2024, City Council authorized the execution of Contract Amendment No. 7 with Tetra Tech BAS (TTBAS) for engineering and material purchase services for the Resource Recovery Facility Enclosed Flare Installation Project (c402512) in the amount of $1,785,870. In order to meet the aggressive deadline set by the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) to submit a design by September 6, 2024, the contract included providing preliminary design for the application as well as procurement of the flare on behalf of the City. TTBAS put together a design for the flare and issued a request for proposals resulting in quotes from three vendors for the City’s selection.

DISCUSSION: TTBAS obtained bids in November 2024, with Perennial Energy LLC. (PEI) being the lowest bidder for the equipment option that met the City’s needs. PEI’s equipment cost is $1,023,314.01. The TTBAS contract included a 15% markup on the price of the flare, which is standard for these types of contracts. However, due to the large dollar value of the flare, the standard markup of 15% would result in an additional $150,000 project cost. To avoid the 15% markup costs, staff recommends reallocating funds from the TTBAS purchase order to purchase directly from PEI resulting in a savings of approximately $150,000. A separate procurement will occur to select a contractor to unload and install the flare once fabricated and shipped to the landfill.

Per Section 3.08.150 of the Purchasing Ordinance, staff submitted the Single Source justification to the Purchasing Manager on January 23, 2025, and was given approval to direct purchase the enclosed flare given the cost savings and time constraints of the project. PEI provided the lowest cost proposal for the enclosed flare. Staff finds PEI’s cost proposal reasonable amongst limited number of known vendors who fabricate enclosed flare systems. There is an urgent timeline to

14.1 install the permanent enclosed flare as the temporary open flare is operating under a variance that will expire on May 10, 2025. Staff is preparing to request an extension from MBARD while the permanent enclosed flare design is finalized and manufactured, however, time is of the essence.

The current target schedule is to complete all work by December 2025. Once the enclosed flare is installed the City will be in full compliance with California Air Board regulations and expect smooth operations and management of landfill gas into the future.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: A Notice of Exemption will be prepared for the installation of the permanent enclosed flare.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This program promotes the following Health in All Policies Conditions: The Enclosed Flare Installation Project contributes to the Healthy Environments pillar of Health in All Policies Conditions. It addresses the CORE Community Indicators of “Concern for the environment” and “Environmental stewardship” by reducing health and safety risk associated from uncollected landfill gas and ensures responsible, mandated management.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: Funds are available in the Refuse Enterprise Fund in the FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project c402512. There is no impact to the General Fund.

14.2 Memorandum
To: Finance Department, Purchasing Division
From: Hoi Yu, Associate Professional Engineer
Date: January 23, 2025
Public Works Department
809 Center Street, Room 201
Re: Single Source Justification for Directly Purchasing Low NOx Flare from Perennial for the Enclosure Flare Installation Project at the RRF The Landfill gas-to-energy (LTE) facility, owned and operated by Opal Fuels, was forced to shut down following a severe wind event in February 2024 that damaged PG&E’s electrical infrastructure. Damage to PG&E’s electrical infrastructure prevented landfill gas (LFG) generated electricity from being delivered to the grid, inadvertently disrupting the collection and destruction of LFG at the landfill. Given the potential environmental and health and safety risks associated with uncollected LFG, the City was required to promptly resume the collection and control of LFG at the Landfill.

The City took immediate action and worked with the landfill’s contracted consulting engineering firm, Tetra Tech BAS (TTBAS), to start researching, identifying, obtaining quotes, and evaluating rental options for temporary LFG destruction devices. Upon determining an open flare was the most cost effective and quickest option for the landfill to get back into compliance, TTBAS assisted the City to obtain approval from the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) to operate a temporary open flare LFG destruction device to resume LFG collection and destruction and bring the landfill back into compliance.

The temporary open flare was meant to be a short term backup system to continue collecting and destroying landfill gas when the LTE plant was down. If the landfill fails to collect and destroy landfill gas continuously, it is a clean air act violation. If the landfill does not have this backup any time the plant is down, it would be a repeat violation, which will cause the penalty fee to increase.

Permanent open flares are prohibited in California, but given the potential environmental and health and safety risks associated with uncollected LFG, MBARD gave the City approval to operate the temporary open flare until May 10, 2025. One of conditions of approval was to apply for a permanent enclosed flare by September 6, 2024. TTBAS was contracted to meet this tight deadline and provide a preliminary design for the permanent flare application as well as procure the flare on behalf of the City. TTBAS put together a design for the flare and issued a request for proposal resulting in quotes from 3 vendors for the City’s selection.

14.3 TTBAS obtained bids in November 2024, with Perennial Energy LLC. (PEI) being the lowest bidder for the equipment option that met the City’s needs. PEI’s equipment cost is $1,023,314.01. The TTBAS contract included a 15% markup of the flare’s price which is standard for markups on materials and equipment for these types of contracts. However, due to the large dollar value of the flare the standard markup of 15% would result in a $150,000 extra project cost. To eliminate markup costs, staff recommends reallocating funds from the TTBAS purchase order to make a direct purchase from PEI resulting in a savings of approximately $150,000 through avoidance of the 15% markup. A separate procurement will occur to select a contractor to install the flare once fabricated and delivered to the landfill.

Reason for Non-competitive Agreement
There is an urgent timeline to install the permanent flare as the temporary flare is operating under a variance that will expire on May 10, 2025. Staff is preparing to request an extension from MBARD while the permanent flare design is finalized then manufactured, time is of the essence. The current target schedule is to complete all work by December 2025.

Price Reasonableness Analysis
PEI provided the lowest cost proposal for the enclosed flare. The price comparison to the other vendors is listed in Table 1 below. Staff finds PEI’s cost proposal reasonable amongst limited number of know vendors who fabricate enclosed flare systems.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: West Cliff Drive Bethany Curve Culvert Project (c402407) - Authorization to Ratify Purchase Order (PW)
LOCATION: District 6
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to ratify purchase order for additional work as outlined in the latest proposal from Pacific Crest Engineering (PCE) dated November 2024 for the West Cliff Drive Bethany Curve Culvert Project (c402407) and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Public Works Director is authorized to execute change orders within the approved project budget.

BACKGROUND: The declared disasters of early 2023 and 2024 rought tremendous damage to the revetment along West Cliff Drive and in eight locations (opposite the addresses of 920, 932, 944, 960, 1016, 1030, and 1110 as well as the Bethany Culvert viaduct structure). As a result of impacts to the path and roadway from the damage in these locations, and because West Cliff Drive is a Federal Aid Route, these projects were authorized by Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to receive Emergency Opening (EO) funds. Due to the nature of the emergency, the City was advised to bid out the repair projects as quickly as possible with whatever level of design that could be produced in an expedited manner. As such, the design consultants, including Pacific Crest Engineering (PCE), have had a much larger role during construction than would be seen in more traditional design-bid-build project delivery as the designs are continually evolving to address site conditions as they are discovered.

DISCUSSION: Pacific Crest Engineering (PCE) was hired as the geotechnical design consultant for these projects and was subsequently retained to provide ongoing construction support. The scope of these projects was as well defined as the expedited plan set could anticipate, but due to changing site conditions and an evolving design approach, PCE now requires an augmentation of their existing purchase order #62-24070 (currently at $86,620). The proposal from PCE anticipates an additional $72,570 above the current purchase order to provide the necessary services to complete the projects, resulting in an amended contract of $159,190.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA

15.1 HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): HiAP is a collaborative approach to improving community well-being by prioritizing equity, public health and sustainability considerations into decision-making across sectors and policy areas.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/18/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Water
SUBJECT: Modifications to City Council Forest Management Policies for Water Department Watershed Lands (WT)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to repeal City Council Policy 11.3 - Timber Harvests in Watershed Area and Preservation of Old Growth Trees, and replace with City Council Policy

11.3 – Forest Management of Water Department Watershed Lands, which includes a) additional old growth tree characteristics that will facilitate their protection and b) the ability to commercialize forest products in alignment with c) the requirement to reinvest revenue from such commercialization into other Water Department watershed restoration work.

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Cruz Water Department (Water Department) manages nearly 4,000 acres of property in the San Lorenzo River and Laguna Creek watersheds for the purposes of drinking water source protection. Forest management is of the utmost importance in the Water Department’s efforts to protect its drinking water supplies.

During the early twentieth century, most of the City’s watershed properties were clearcut by previous owners, resulting in regrowth of vegetation that is significantly denser and more prone to catastrophic wildfire. Since the City began acquiring these properties—an effort largely initiated in the 1950s—the Water Department has applied several strategies to manage forest health, including conifer and hardwood thinning, dead and dying tree removal, invasive/exotic weed removal, ladder fuel removal along key fire breaks and access routes, and coordination with fire agencies on training, access, and infrastructure needs.

City Council Policy 11.3 -Timber Harvests in Watershed Area and Preservation of Old Growth Trees (1998), provides criteria for identifying and protecting old growth trees. However, these criteria no longer align with contemporary forest health standards. For example, second and third growth trees would be mischaracterized as old growth solely based on their large trunk diameter.

As a result, the historic approach presents a fundamental challenge to forest management and overall forest health because large, but not necessarily old growth trees, cannot be cut even if forest health goals would benefit from it. Recognizing this, Water Department staff embarked on studies to determine if more widely accepted characteristics of old growth trees, reflected in contemporary forest health standards, should be incorporated into the City’s forest management policy.

16.1 In 2019, the Water Department hired Sicular Environmental Consulting and Natural Lands Management (Sicular) to evaluate opportunities and constraints for improved forest management to ensure forest health on the City’s watershed lands.

In 2021, the Water Commission supported a staff recommendation, based on the report from Sicular, to explore the Integrated Production and Restoration forest management alternative. This alternative places more focus on fuel management and restoration with limited commercial timber harvest. More details can be found in the October 4, 2021 Water Commission Watershed Lands Forest Management Update:
https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/home/showpublisheddocument/86410/637686001735000000 Following the October 2021 Water Commission meeting, the Department contracted with Auten Resource Consulting (ARC) to operationalize the broad recommendations of the Integrated Production and Restoration alternative. ARC recently provided its final report, Newell Creek Watershed Forest Stewardship Recommendations (Auten Resource Consulting 2024), available at:
https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/home/showpublisheddocument/102183. The recommendations include a range of forest management activities such as forest density reduction/large tree restoration, and forest health fuels reduction. Staff returned to the Water Commission in November of 2024 and February of 2025 to present these recommendations for discussion. The Commission supported the changes and requested staff report back during the budget process with details on how any revenue generated from this work would be allocated.

DISCUSSION: Forest health and drinking water source protection have always been the primary motivating factors for the management of Water Department watershed properties.

However, to carry out the recommendations contained in the Sicular and ARC studies, staff recommend that Council Policy 11.3 be amended to align with modern forest practices.

Proposed modifications to Council Policy 11.3 will create the policy language needed to perform the forest management work as described in the Integrated Production and Restoration alternative and ensure that any revenue generated is reinvested back into the watershed properties.

Below is the existing and proposed policy language.

Existing language:

Council Policy 11.3
Timber Harvests in Watershed Area and Preservation of Old Growth Trees Policy Timber Harvests
City staff will notify the Council of any requests for timber harvest permits, which would have the potential to cause negative impact in the City's watershed area.

16.2 Preservation of Old Growth Trees
The City Council of the City of Santa Cruz hereby declares it to be its policy that old growth trees and specimen trees on City-owned forest lands are to be preserved unless safety factors dictate their removal, or if the Council makes a specific exception.

Further, it is the policy of the City Council that residual trees will be harvested only in cases where silvicultural guidelines indicate their harvest would benefit the health and vigor of the stand, or if safety or extraneous factors dictate their removal.

For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions will apply:
“Old Growth Tree” means a tree which is at least 40 inches in diameter at breast height and/or is over 200 years old.
“Residual Tree” means a tree which was alive during the initial harvesting of the old growth forest, but either was a younger (smaller) tree at that time or was a suppressed tree in that forest.” Proposed new language:

Council Policy 11.3
Forest Management of Water Department Watershed Lands
Timber Harvests
Commercial Timber harvesting shall be allowed where it is consistent with the primary goals of maintaining forest health and drinking water source protection. Revenue generated from commercial harvest will be directed into dedicated accounts to be utilized for the purposes of furthering forest health, ecosystem resilience to fire and climate change, drinking water source protection, or other related Water Department ecosystem management goals. All commercial timber harvest plans shall be reviewed by the Water Commission and City Council prior to implementation.

Preservation of Old Growth Trees
The City Council of the City of Santa Cruz hereby declares it to be its policy that old growth and residual trees on City-owned lands are to be preserved unless safety factors or critical infrastructure needs dictate their removal, or if the Council makes a specific exception.

For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions will apply:
“Old Growth Tree” means a tree that is greater than 300 years old and has one or more of the following characteristics:
• Outline of the live crown is irregular
• Broken-off or spike top is present
• Epicormic branching or reiterations are present
• Large horizontal branches (>8") are present in the upper half of the tree • Cavities (goosepens), broken limbs or other "defect" present • Burn scars are visible on the trunk

16.3 “Residual” tree means a tree that was alive during the initial harvesting of the old growth forest but was small and not harvested during those harvests.” While these policy changes are unique to Water Department’s forest management on watershed lands, they are related to the citywide wildfire resiliency planning (WRP) effort recently reviewed by City Council. Whereas WRP focuses on maintaining defensible space and access, as well as infrastructure hardening, the proposed policy changes will enable healthier, more fireresilient forest conditions around infrastructure, reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire events.

Additionally, the proposed policy changes will help clarify old growth tree standards so that large but non-old growth trees adjacent to critical water infrastructure can be managed more efficiently and cost-effectively.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed policy changes are exempt from CEQA review. Other than routine maintenance, all future forest management projects affected by these policy changes will go through CEQA review. While most projects will qualify for exemptions, timber harvests will require Timber Harvest Plans under the California Forest Practice Rules. This process is considered the functional equivalent of CEQA.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): These policy changes align well with the City’s HiAP pillars of public health and sustainability by supporting environmental and public health, increasing resilience to climate change, improving water supply reliability, potentially reducing water treatment costs, and providing other benefits to both City operations and stakeholders in our drinking water source watersheds. Furthermore, these changes support the HiAP equity pillar by enabling revenue from forest products to fund other forest health, restoration, and drinking water source protection goals that might otherwise require financial support from water rates paid for by ratepayers. Additionally, future forest health-related work is expected to involve significant stakeholder engagement. Finally, these policy changes institutionalize a more nuanced understanding of forest health needs, ultimately supporting the Water Department’s long-term management of watershed lands and drinking water source protection and overall protection of environmental and public health.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The Watershed Section budget has sufficient funds in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget to initiate implementation of these policy changes.

2 These amendments to Chapters 9.36 and 9.40 establish objective standards as to when certain noises should be presumed to be unreasonably loud, in violation of Santa Cruz Municipal Code sections 9.36.020 and 9.40.010.

With these amendments, the Council intends for enforcement officers who observe violations of Section 9.36.020 and 9.40.010 to be able to cite for those violations without necessarily requiring a victim’s signature, similar to when enforcement officers witness other violations of law, such as running a stop sign or smoking on Pacific Avenue.

SECTION 2. Santa Cruz Municipal Code section 9.36.020, within Chapter 9.36 “Noise”, is hereby amended to read as follows:
“9.36.020 UNREASONABLY DISTURBING NOISES.

A. No person shall make, suffer or permit to be made any noises or sounds which are unreasonably loud, raucous, jarring or disturbing to people of ordinary sensitiveness.

B. The factors to be considered in determining whether to issue a citation for a violation and whether a violation of this section has occurred shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

1. The volume and intensity of the noise, music, or related sound;

2. The duration, continuousness or repetitive nature of the noise, music, or related sound;

3. Whether the origin of the noise, music, or related sound is natural or unnatural to the area in which it occurs;

4. The volume and intensity of the ambient or background noise or sound, if any;

5. The proximity of the noise, music, or related sound to residential sleeping facilities or to overnight accommodations, such as hotels and motels;

6. The proximity to offices, places of business or other areas where work is known to be carried on, of the noise, music, or related sound;

7. The nature and zoning of the area within which the noise, music, or related sound emanates;

8. The time of day or night the noise, music, or related sound occurs and the relationship of this time to the normal activities of the area in which it occurs and in relation to the other factors listed in this subsection; and

17.2 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03
3 9. Whether the noise, music, or related sound is produced by a commercial or a noncommercial activity.

C. If the noise producing source is on public property in a commercial zone (as defined below), amplified noise and/or repetitive banging or percussive noises that can be heard 125 or more feet from the noise-producing source are presumptively unreasonably loud or disturbing as prohibited by this section. This presumption, however, shall not apply to permitted amplification or percussion used in special events or performances permitted by the City under a different part of the Municipal Code (e.g., Public Gathering and Expression Events (Chapter

10.65) and Major Public Special Events (Chapter 10.64)).

1. Within this section and SCMC § 9.40.010(B)(3), the term “commercial zone” means one of the following places: (i) the area within the boundaries of the Downtown Plan Area, as currently adopted or as amended; or (ii) the area along or within 75 feet of any point of Soquel Ave. within the City of Santa Cruz; or (iii) the area along or within 75 feet of any point on Mission St./Highway 1 within the City of Santa Cruz.” SECTION 3. Santa Cruz Municipal Code section 9.40.010, within Chapter 9.40 “Sound Amplifying Equipment”, is hereby amended to read as follows:
“9.40.010 RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF SOUND AMPLIFYING EQUIPMENT AND SOUND TRUCKS.

A. No person shall use or cause to be used any sound amplifying device or equipment at any place in the city, whether on public property or private property, except in accordance with subsection B.

B. Sound amplifying equipment and sound trucks:

1. Shall only be used to produce music or human speech, or both;

2. Shall not be emitted near hospitals, churches, schools, courthouses or city facilities in a manner that unreasonably disrupts, obstructs, impairs or interferes with the normal use and operation of such facilities for their intended purposes;

3. Shall be operated at a volume of sound that is not be unreasonably loud, raucous, jarring, disturbing or a nuisance to reasonable persons of normal sensitiveness within the range of audibility, considering the factors set forth in Section 9.36.020(B). If the noise producing source is on public property in a commercial zone (as defined by SCMC § 9.36.020(C)(1)), amplified noise that can be heard 125 or more feet from the noise-producing source is presumptively unreasonably loud or disturbing as prohibited by this subsection. This presumption, however, shall not apply to permitted amplification used in special events or performances permitted by the City under a

17.3 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03
4 different part of the Municipal Code (e.g., Public Gathering and Expression Events (Chapter 10.65), Major Public Special Events (Chapter 10.64));

4. Shall be operated in a manner that directs sound, to the extent feasible, toward open unoccupied space and away from residential and business uses; and

5. Shall not be used between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.” SECTION 4. Environmental Review. The Council finds that approval of this ordinance is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An activity undertaken, supported, or authorized by a public agency is a “project” subject to CEQA only if it “may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065.) Approval of this ordinance is not a “project” under CEQA because it does not have the potential to cause physical change in the environment directly or indirectly.

In the alternative, if this ordinance is considered a “project” under CEQA, the “common sense” exemption applies because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” (14 Cal Code Regs 15061(b)(3).) Furthermore, the following exemptions are applicable:
• Class 7 Categorical Exemption because the Council action is intended “to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource.” (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15307.)
• Class 8 Categorical Exemption because the Council action is intended “to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.” (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15308.)
The project does not include construction activities or relaxation of standards allowing environmental degradation as prohibited by these exceptions.

SECTION 5. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after final adoption.

AYES: Councilmembers Brunner, Newsome, Golder; Mayor Keeley.

To: City Council
Subject: Please Cancel New Downtown Noise Restrictions
Dear City Council,
I was dismayed to read that the Council has advanced a new proposal to limit sound downtown to 125ft without a permit. Wonderful bands and street music is the ONE thing left in downtown that is holding the place together. If we impose more restrictions we will lose a tiny thread that is tenuously keeping Pacific Ave a place to frequent.

PLEASE VOTE NO on the 125ft ORDINANCE
Thanks,

Subject: Consent Public Hearing #17
Dear Mayor and Council:

I have to disagree with this:
"The City Council for the City of Santa Cruz finds that unreasonably loud noise in commercial areas is a major issue in the City impacting the public’s health, use, and enjoyment of both public and private spaces." Really? The 7 members of the Council have concluded on their own that loud noise is a major issue? There are many more issues that impact the public's health, use, and enjoyment of public and private space, including traffic congestion, scarcity of free public restrooms, petty theft, shuttered storefronts, etc.

Do we really want to burden our police personnel with enforcing this ordinance when they undoubtedly have more important issues to contend with?
The factors to be considered in determining whether to issue a citation for a violation and whether a violation of this section has occurred shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (this is no longer "objective - it's subjective)

1. The volume and intensity of the noise, music, or related sound;

2. The duration, continuousness or repetitive nature of the noise, music, or related sound;

3. Whether the origin of the noise, music, or related sound is natural or unnatural to the area in which it occurs;
(a pile driver might be "natural" to downtown).

4. The volume and intensity of the ambient or background noise or sound, if any;

5. The proximity of the noise, music, or related sound to residential sleeping facilities or to overnight accommodations, such as hotels and motels;

6. The proximity to offices, places of business or other areas where work is known to be carried on, of the noise, music, or related sound;

7. The nature and zoning of the area within which the noise, music, or related sound emanates;

8. The time of day or night the noise, music, or related sound occurs and the relationship of this time to the normal activities of the area in which it occurs and in relation to the other factors listed in this subsection; and

9. Whether the noise, music, or related sound is produced by a commercial or a noncommercial activity. (why does this matter? If the noise is disturbing, it's disturbing) The city already has a noise ordinance, prohibiting loud sounds between certain hours. We don't need additional language about time of day.

And what are "normal activities of the area in which it occurs"? Who defines that? Are UCSC student parties in residential neighborhoods a "normal activity in the area"? A band rehearsing? One could say that they are.

17.9 Is the loud and unsettling roar of motorcycle engines a "normal activity of the area"? Will police be called if a contingent of motorcyclists rides through downtown or the area defined by this ordinance? In a time when the President of the US is attempting to suppress rights and dissent, does the Santa Cruz City Council wish to follow a similar playbook? Leave the city's noise ordinance as is, please.

17.10 ORDINANCE NO. 2024-04

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ AMENDING SECTION 18.050.040 “ENERGY CODE – MODIFICATIONS” OF CHAPTER 18.15 “ENERGY CODE” OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ MUNICIPAL CODE
BE IT ORDAINED By the City of Santa Cruz as follows:

Section 1. Table 150.0-J of Section 18.15.040 of Chapter 18.04 of the Santa Cruz Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Table 150.0-J: Measure Specifications
ID Measure Specification
General Measures
E1 Water Heating Package: Add exterior insulation meeting a minimum of R-6 to existing storage water heaters. Insulate all accessible hot water pipes with pipe insulation a minimum of ¾ inch thick. This includes insulating the supply pipe leaving the water heater, piping to faucets underneath sinks, and accessible pipes in attic spaces or crawlspaces. Upgrade fittings in sinks and showers to meet current California Green Building Standards Code (Title 24, Part 11) Section 4.303 water efficiency requirements.

Water heaters 20 gallons or less, or water heaters that are not able to add exterior insulation may not take credit for this measure.

Exception 1: Water heater blanket is not required on water heaters less than 20 gallons.

Exception 2: Water heater blanket not required if application of a water heater blanket voids the warranty on the water heater.

Exception 3: Upgraded fixtures are not required if existing fixtures have rated or measured flow rates of no more than ten percent greater than 2022 California Green Building Standards Code (Title 24, Part 11) Section 4.303 water efficiency requirements.

Exception 4: Water heaters with factory installed insulation of R-24 or greater E2 Induction Cooktop: Replace existing gas and electric resistance stove top with inductive stove top and cap the gas line..

E3 Heat Pump Clothes Dryer: Replace existing electric resistance clothes dryer with heat pump dryer with no resistance element and cap gas line.

E4 Air Sealing: Seal all accessible cracks, holes, and gaps in the building envelope at walls, floors, and ceilings. Pay special attention to penetrations including plumbing, electrical, and mechanical vents, recessed can light luminaires, and windows. Weather-strip doors if not already present.

Verification shall be conducted by a certified HERS Rater that either: a) shows at least a 30 percent reduction from pre-retrofit conditions; or b) shows that the number of air changes per hour at 50 Pascals pressure difference (ACH50) does not exceed ten for Pre-1978 vintage buildings, seven for 1978 to 1991 vintage buildings and five for 1992-2010 vintage buildings.

Compliance can also be demonstrated with blower door testing conducted by a certified HERS Rater no more than three years prior to the permit application date showing compliance with condition (a) or (b).

If combustion appliances are located within the pressure boundary of the building, conduct a combustion safety test by a professional certified by the Building Performance Institute in

18.1 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-04
2 accordance with the ANSI/BPI-1200-S-2017 Standard Practice for Basic Analysis of Buildings, the Whole House Combustion Appliance Safety Test Procedure for the Comfortable Home Rebates Program 2020 or the California Community Services and Development Combustion Appliance Safety Testing Protocol.

Reducing the air leakage of a building can reduce the building’s drying potential. When improving the air sealing of a building, consider if there is a need to add continuous ventilation to the building (if not already present).

E5 Duct Sealing: Air seal all space conditioning ductwork to meet the requirements of the 2022 Title 24 Section 150.2(b)1E. The duct system must be tested by a HERS Rater no more than three years prior to the alteration or addition permit application date to verify the duct sealing and confirm that the requirements have been met. This measure may not be combined with the New Ducts and Duct Sealing measure in this Table. Dwelling units without ductwork or where the ducts are in conditioned space may not take credit for this measure.

Recessed downlight luminaires in the ceiling shall be covered with insulation to the same depth as the rest of the ceiling. Luminaires not rated for insulation contact must be replaced or fitted with a fire-proof cover that allows for insulation to be installed directly over the cover.

Exception: In buildings where existing R-30 is present and existing recessed downlight luminaires are not rated for insulation contact, insulation is not required to be installed over the luminaires.

E7 Windows: Replace at least 50% of existing windows with high performance windows with an area-weighted average U-factor no greater than 0.30.

E8 R-13 Wall Insulation: Install wall insulation in all exterior walls to achieve a weighted U-factor of 0.102 or install wall insulation in all exterior wall cavities that shall result in an installed thermal resistance of R-13 or greater for the insulation alone.

E9 New Ducts + Duct Sealing: Replace existing space conditioning ductwork with new R-8 ducts that meet the requirements of 2022 Title 24 Section 150.0(m)11. This measure may not be combined with the Duct Sealing measure in this Table. To qualify, a preexisting measure must have been installed no more than three years before the alteration or addition permit application date.

E10 R-19 Floor Insulation: Raised-floors shall be insulated such that the floor assembly has an assembly U-factor equal to or less than U-0.037, or shall be insulated between wood framing with insulation having an R-value equal to or greater than R-19. This measure cannot be combined with measure R-30 Floor insulation.

E11 R-30 Floor Insulation: Raised-floors shall be insulated such that the floor assembly has an assembly U-factor equal to or less than U-0.028, or shall be insulated between wood framing with insulation having an R-value equal to or greater than R-30. This measure cannot be combined with measure R-19 Floor insulation.

18.6 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-05

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ AMENDING SANTA CRUZ MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 18.48.050, CHILDCARE IMPACT FEES WHEREAS, on April 27, 2021, the City passed Ordinance No. 2021-10, which created the Santa Cruz Municipal Code Chapter 18.48, “Childcare Impact Fees;” and WHEREAS, the City Council provided direction to evaluate and update the Childcare Impact Fee charged to new residential and non-residential development; and WHEREAS, the intent of this ordinance is to remove those exemptions.

BE IT ORDAINED By the City of Santa Cruz as follows:

Section 1. Santa Cruz Municipal Code Section 18.48.050 “Exemptions” is hereby amended as follows:

18.48.050 Exemptions.

A. The following exemptions from the requirements for fees and exactions are imposed:
(a) Any type of project determined by the city council to have a reduced or insignificant childcare impact as per Section 18.48.070.
(b) Childcare or School Facility. Childcare facilities and any school or day care facility for children including preschools and kindergarten through grade twelve. (c) Senior Housing Project. Senior housing projects, except for congregate care or nursing home care projects for which the fee or exaction shall be based upon the number of employment opportunities resulting from such a type of project. (d) Housing units constructed and operated by a Santa Cruz County school district to provide living accommodations for its employees.
(e) Affordable Housing Projects. For purposes of this exemption, as further detailed below, Affordable Housing Projects are projects where one hundred percent of the units, excluding managers units, within the development are dedicated to lower income households. The affordable units within the development are subject to a recorded affordability restriction for a minimum of fifty-five years or per local inclusionary requirements, whichever is greater. The exemptions are as follows:

1. Affordable Housing Projects that incorporate childcare facilities into the proposed project are fully exempt from the childcare impact fee. However, if a childcare facility remains unoccupied by a childcare facility for three years

19.1 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-05
2 following final inspection or final certificate of occupancy, then the remaining 50% of the fee is due.

2. Affordable Housing Projects without childcare facilities are eligible for a fifty percent (50%) reduction in fees.
(f) Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units of less than 750 square feet.
(g) Repairs or Replacement. The repair, remodel, modification, reconstruction or replacement of a residential or nonresidential building substantially equivalent to the preexisting building. Existing square footage beyond the preexisting amount is not exempt. This includes residential and nonresidential square footage being replaced due to natural disaster.
(h) Nonresidential Change of Use. Any change of use of an existing legally established nonresidential use, unless the change in use is determined by the city council to be so significant as to require a childcare impact fee.
(i) Public Project. Projects undertaken by a public agency except projects undertaken by a private developer on public property, and except property not used exclusively for a governmental purpose.
(j) Project with Complete Application on Effective Date of Ordinance. Project for which an application for permit was complete prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, except for any project which is required to comply with these measures pursuant to the provisions of a development agreement.

B. Change of use is entitled to an offset or a credit:
(a) If a project is changing its use, a credit in the amount offsetting the impact of its prior use shall be applied. For example, a development project converting existing hotel square footage into residential multi-family will have the fee for the proposed (including any addition) multifamily calculated and the fee for the existing hotel space calculated, and the existing hotel space will be credited against the new multifamily fee use. In the event that the credit exceeds the new fee, the fee shall be zero and no refunds are applicable.

C. No credits or exemptions will be given to properties that have been vacant for more than three years by the time of applying for building permit.
(Ord. 2021-10 § 1, 2021; Ord. 2019-26 § 1 (part), 2020).

Section 2. If any section or portion of this ordinance is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance, which shall continue in full force and effect.

19.2 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-05
3 Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force thirty (30) days after final adoption.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/20/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Sidewalk Vending Ordinance Administrative Amendments. Applicant:

City of Santa Cruz. CEQA: Exempt per 15061(b)(3). (PL)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to introduce for publication an ordinance acknowledging the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption and amending Santa Cruz Municipal Code (SCMC) Chapter 5.82 (“Sidewalk Vending”) to clarify the definition of an “Enforcement Official,” to specify the time period within which a vendor may receive citations before a permit may be revoked, to reduce the number of citations resulting in impoundment from four to three, to clarify and update restricted vending times and locations, and to provide clearer distinctions between roaming and stationary vending locations.

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Cruz (City) piloted various sidewalk vending programs since Senate Bill (SB) 9461 “Safe Sidewalk Vending Act” became effective January 1, 2019. (Government Code sections 51036 et seq.) SB 946 limited the City’s ability to regulate sidewalk vending and prohibited criminal punishment for sidewalk vending-related violations. The pilot programs allowed staff to have a better understanding of the impact of SB 946 implementation, especially in the popular vending area of Beach Street.

The City Council adopted the Sidewalk Vending Ordinance SCMC Chapter 5.82 (“Sidewalk Vending”) on April 12, 2022 and approved the fees associated with the administration and enforcement on May 10, 2022. At the February 14, 20232 meeting, the City Council adopted amendments to SCMC Chapter 5.82 that updated sidewalk vending definitions and conduct and clarified the permit application process and number of citations issued prior to impound.

DISCUSSION: The City’s Sidewalk Vending Ordinance was administered starting May 2022 with the coordination of the following departments: City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Planning and Community Development, Parks and Recreation, Economic Development, and Police. During the implementation of the Sidewalk Vending Program from May 2022 to present, staff continues to identify opportunities to provide further clarification to the Ordinance and improve its efficiency.

20.1 Proposed Amendments
Staff is recommending the following additional amendments to SCMC Chapter 5.82 for City Council consideration. The proposed updated Ordinance is attached with clean and track changes versions.
 Amendment to 5.82.020(p) – Definitions: Updating definitions of “enforcement official.” This change clarifies who can enforce the Ordinance, specifically expanding the definition to include any individuals designated to issue citations under SCMC

4.02.021.
 Amendment to 5.82.050(f) – Sidewalk Vending Permit Approval, Conditions, Denial, or Revocation: Adding a twenty-four-month timeline for citations issued prior to permit revocation. This change clarifies the time period within which a sidewalk vendor can receive four or more subsequent citations before being considered for permit revocation. Currently the ordinance does not include a timeframe, allowing for different interpretations of the revocation provision.
 Amendment to 5.82.080(a)(2) – Restricted Vending Times and Locations: Adding additional location where stationary sidewalk vendors cannot vend without permits and approval. This change enables the enforcement of the ordinance against stationary vendors who do not reserve one of the five City-demarcated vending and display zones on Beach Street between the Municipal Wharf and Third Street, during the off season (November 1 through March 31). This amendment addresses safety concerns by preventing stationary vendors from operating outside these designated areas, which causes pedestrian congestion and forces people into traffic or bike lanes.  Amendment to 5.82.080(a)(3) – Restricted Vending Times and Locations: Section

5.82.080(a)(3) would be relocated to 5.82.080(b)(6) to clarify that both roaming and stationary sidewalk vendors cannot vend within five hundred feet of a permitted certified farmer’s market, a swap meet, or an area designated for a temporary special permit. The current Ordinance allows for roaming vendors to vend in these locations. The proposed amendments would extend the restriction to roaming vendors, consistent with SB 946, Government Code section 51038(d)(1)-(2).  Amendment to 5.82.090(a) – Vending in City Parks and Beaches: Adding “parks and recreation” on the name of the vending permit. This change clarifies the name of the permit, and which department issues it.
 Amendment to 5.82.120 – Impoundment: Updating the required number of citations to be issued prior to an impoundment from four to three. Staff have observed that citations and their associated fees do not always deter unpermitted vending and recommends reducing the required number of citations issued before impoundment to improve compliance.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This has no impact on the natural environment, because it does not create any physical change to the environment. Therefore, it is not considered a project under CEQA. However, if it were considered a project, it would be exempt from review under the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (known as the “Common Sense” exemption) in that it would not reasonably be seen

20.2 to create a significant impact on the environment. It would also be exempt under Section 15306 (Information Collection) of the CEQA Guidelines in that it relates to analysis and provision of information to the Council.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The goal of Health in All Policies (HiAP) is to ensure that decision-makers are informed about the impacts on the three HiAP pillars of public health, equity, and sustainability when reviewing projects and policy options. While sidewalk vending provides important entrepreneurship and economic development opportunities to low-income and migrant communities, the State has acknowledged that it can result in public health and safety impacts, and, therefore, the State allows this activity to be regulated to a certain extent.

Currently, numerous unpermitted vendors are selling food under unsanitary conditions, and other vendors endanger public health and pedestrian safety by operating in unsafe locations such as unpermitted areas, parking meters, and streets. The proposed changes to the Ordinance support the public health and equity pillars of HiAP through balancing public health with economic opportunities for vendors.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: No fiscal impacts.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ AMENDING SANTA CRUZ MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 5.82 RELATED TO SIDEWALK VENDING REGULATIONS

WHEREAS, in 2019, California Senate Bill ("SB") 946 (Sidewalk Vendors) became law, decriminalizing commercial sidewalk vending and limiting local governments' ability to restrict sidewalk vending;
WHEREAS, on April 12, 2022, the City passed Ordinance No. 2022-03, which created the Santa Cruz Municipal Code Chapter 5.82, “Sidewalk Vending;” to promote public health, safety, and welfare, through a comprehensive City-wide dedicated sidewalk vending permitting and regulation scheme that both complies with state law and is effective at regulating sidewalk vending in public spaces;
WHEREAS, on February 12, 2023, the City amended the Ordinance in Ordinance No. 2023-04;

WHEREAS, the intent of this ordinance is to update the current sidewalk vending permitting and regulation scheme to effectively regulate sidewalk vending in a way that: (a) complies with state law; (b) addresses objective public health, safety, and welfare concerns; (c) promotes the public's use and enjoyment of natural resources and recreational opportunities; and (d) prevents an undue concentration of commercial activity that unreasonably interferes with the scenic and natural character of City parks and open spaces.

A violation of the sidewalk vending permit conditions is considered a violation of this chapter. d) Use of a shade structure may be requested in a sidewalk vending permit application and park’s vending permit application, and such request will be granted if: (1) there is adequate space for the shade structure at the proposed vending location (including any space needed for pedestrians (including disabled pedestrians), vehicles, and bicyclists); (2) use of the shade structure at the proposed location would not adversely impact or put at risk public health, safety, or welfare; and (3) use of the shade structure at the proposed location would not be contrary to legal requirements applicable to the city.
e) Use of a generator may be requested in a sidewalk vending permit application, and such request will be granted if the proposed generator use: (1) will not create unreasonable noise, trip and fall hazards, or other adverse risks or impacts to public health, safety, or welfare; (2) is not otherwise illegal or contrary to legal requirements applicable to the city; and (3) is approved by all appropriate regulating entities, such as the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD), if those appropriate regulating entities require generator use approval. f) The director or their designee may revoke a sidewalk vending permit for a fourth or subsequent violation of this chapter within a twenty-four-month period. A sidewalk vendor whose permit is revoked may apply for a new sidewalk vending permit upon the expiration of the term of the rescinded permit.

20.16 g) Any person whose application for a sidewalk vending permit is denied, revoked, or conditioned in a way that the applicant believes is not in accordance with applicable legal requirements may appeal such decision to the city manager by filing a written notice of appeal with the city manager or their designee within ten calendar days after receipt of the notice of denial, conditions, or revocation. The appeal hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the administrative enforcement hearing procedure contained in Title 4. If the appeal is successful, the hearing officer will order the city to return the fee paid for appeal.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 02/10/2025
AGENDA OF: 03/11/2025
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: 313 Swift Street (Application No. CP24-0104) – Assessor’s Parcel Number 003-161-32 – Request for 1) Acknowledgement of the Environmental Determination and Adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) Pursuant to Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and 2) Consideration of the Application for a Planned Development Permit, Coastal Permit, Design Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit to Allow Construction of a New, Four-Story, Approximately 120,604 SquareFoot Multifamily Educator Workforce Housing Project Encompassing Approximately 100 Residential Units, Approximately 119 Parking Spaces, New Landscaping, and Associated Site Modifications, Including the Removal of Up to Six (6) Heritage Trees, on a Site Located in the P-F/CZO (Public Facilities/Coastal Zone Overlay) Zoning District, Based on the Findings and Conditions of Approval Listed In Exhibit “A.” (Environmental Review: Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration). (Applicant/Filed: Santa Cruz City School District/June 27, 2024) (PL) LOCATION: District 6
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution acknowledging the environmental determination and adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and approving the Planned Development Permit, Coastal Permit, Design Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit to allow construction of a new, four-story, approximately 120,604 square-foot multifamily educator workforce housing project encompassing approximately 100 residential units, approximately 119 parking spaces, new landscaping, and associated site modifications, including the removal of up to six (6) Heritage trees, on a site located in the P-F/CZ-O (Public Facilities/Coastal Zone Overlay) zone district, subject to the attached conditions of approval.

BACKGROUND: The applicant requests approval of a Planned Development Permit, Coastal Permit, Design Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit to allow construction of a new, fourstory, approximately 120,604 square-foot multifamily educator workforce housing project encompassing approximately 100 residential units, approximately 119 parking spaces, new landscaping, and associated site modifications at 313 Swift Street, an approximately 4-acre property owned by Santa Cruz City School District. The subject site occurs on land bearing a

22.1 General Plan Land Use designation of CF (Community Facilities) and is situated within the P-F (Public Facilities) zoning district. Per City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code (SCMC) Section

24.04.130, a Planned Development Permit requires approval by the City Council, which, pursuant to SCMC 24.04.090, necessitates review at a public hearing. Under SCMC 24.04.150, when more than one permit is required and authority normally rests with more than one decisionmaking body, final action must be taken by the decision-making body with highest authority.

Thus, this Council action addresses all of the requested permits.

Public Outreach Meeting
Pursuant to the City’s Public Outreach Policy for Planning Projects, a community engagement meeting (hosted via internet video conference) was held on May 6, 2024. Approximately 43 members of the community attended, including the property owner/applicant, project architects, owners and occupants of units surrounding the project site, and residents from surrounding neighborhoods throughout the City. Participants offered diverse feedback, ranging from concerns regarding impacts of the project to loss of available on-street parking capacity and expectation for worsened neighborhood traffic, to remarks related to provision of affordable housing, queries regarding tenant selection criteria and ongoing housing opportunities for prospective future tenants of the development, and similar topics. Overall, attendee reactions ranged from mild concern to outright support.

Planning Commission Public Hearing
On February 6, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the environmental determination and permit applications at a duly-noticed public hearing. Topics of discussion included educators’ difficulty in securing affording housing within Santa Cruz, potential for the proposed project to create unintended impacts associated with educators’ dependency on the school district for the provision of housing, visibility of the project to the adjacent neighborhood, parking of vehicles and equipment during project construction, and maintenance of safe access to the pedestrian pathway during project construction, among others. Following deliberation, on a vote of 6-0-1-0 (Commissioner McKelvey absent), the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council acknowledge the environmental determination and approve the requested entitlements with revisions and additions to the attached conditions of approval, including addition of four conditions (related to the project’s provision of laundry microplastic filters and free METRO bus passes, maintenance of public access to the pedestrian pathway during project construction, and planting of at least six street trees) and modifications to one condition, granting the authority to the City’s Zoning Administrator to review final project materials proposed. Staff agrees with the additions and modifications, and they have been incorporated into the recommended conditions of approval in the attached resolution.

DISCUSSION: A full description and analysis of the proposed project, presenting an evaluation of its consistency with applicable Goals, Policies, and Actions of the General Plan and relevant provisions of the Municipal Code, including the City’s Objective Standards for Multifamily Development, is provided in the attached staff report to the Planning Commission dated February 6, 2025. The applicant requests the following:
 Planned Development Permit – required for consideration of the proposed land use; the General Plan Land Use designation of CF (Community Facilities) envisions land identified with this classification as “existing and potential community facilities,

22.2 including schools, government offices, community buildings such as the Civic Auditorium, sewer and water facilities, and the City landfill. Also applies to land used by State highways.” Residential use is not included among the categories of land uses encompassed by the CF General Plan Land Use designation; however, the provision of multifamily residential use to accommodate housing of school district personnel for longterm retention of employees clearly supports the school district’s mission of educating students. The P-F (Public Facilities) zoning district specifies categories of uses principally-permitted and conditionally-permitted. Per City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code (SCMC) Section 24.10.1770, “government facilities; local, state, and federal” and “school, public” constitute classes of land uses allowing for consideration via discretionary review, again, without residential use listed among them. A Planned Development Permit “provides variation on district regulation, where appropriate, in the following areas,” which includes “uses”; thus, the Planned Development Permit serves as a mechanism for consideration of multifamily workforce housing as proposed at the subject site.
 Coastal Permit – required for review “as a project undertaken by a public agency” (school district) per SCMC Section 24.08.230. The subject site falls within Coastal Overlay, Exclusion Area A, and a Coastal Permit must be obtained for the proposed scope of work, as the project does not meet the Coastal Permit exclusion criteria.  Design Permit – required for review of site and building design per SCMC Section

24.08.410 as a project wherein the applicant is a public agency over which the City may exercise land use controls, as a public project within the Coastal Zone, and as a project which requires a Planned Development Permit.
 Heritage Tree Removal Permit – required for review of proposed removal of up to six (6) Heritage trees at the subject site, per SCMC Section 9.56.060.

Applicable State Laws
 Government Code 65915: The project does not seek approval of a Density Bonus.  Government Code 65589.5: The Housing Accountability Act limits a local government’s ability to deny, reduce the density of, or make infeasible housing development projects, emergency shelters, or farmworker housing that are consistent with objective local development standards and contribute to meeting housing needs. This project proposes approval of a Planned Development Permit to allow for variations to objective standards, specifically, the use of the site for residential purposes, therefore, the City’s discretion is not limited under this section of the state law. However, the project is vested to the standards in place at the time of Preapplication completeness.

Planned Development Permit
Neither the General Plan, through the Community Facilities Land Use designation, nor the Zoning Ordinance, via the Public Facilities zoning classification, envision residential use at the subject site; however, as the proposed project comprises a multifamily educator workforce housing project intended to attract and retain employees of Santa Cruz City Schools, including teachers and support staff (i.e., certificated and classified staff), the proposed scope of work and

22.3 design can be considered via a Planned Development Permit as a use of the land supportive of, and contributory and complementary to, the school district’s mission as a public agency tasked with educating the residents it serves.

Per SCMC 24.08.700, the purpose of a Planned Development includes the following:
1) Provide an administrative technique to foster development plans for eligible lands which serve public objectives more fully than development plans permitted under conventional zoning regulations;
2) Establish criteria for identifying those parcels of land in the city which are eligible for the special procedures available to applicants proposing creative development plans requiring special review and approval procedures.

The City Council is requested to consider the use of the subject parcel as proposed via the application for Planned Development Permit, including the public benefits associated with the development.

As a contiguous site exceeding 4 acres in size and of approximately rectangular dimensions, the subject lot provides adequate size and an appropriate shape to accommodate “innovative and creative site planning,” while a team of two professional architecture firms with experience in formulation of educational facilities have spearheaded the proposed design and layout. Existing site topography will remain largely unchanged, and on-site natural features will remain intact to the extent practicable. The provision of affordable housing for educators serves a clear and demonstrable benefit to the public. Additionally, the project introduces a formal pedestrian footpath from Swift Street to Sergeant Derby Park, replacing the current, longstanding informal access path, thereby offering further public benefit.

As the subject parcel remains largely unused, development of the site for educator workforce housing facilitates appropriate infill development while retaining ample open space for future potential structures and site features and offering opportunity for active and passive recreation.

Further, by repurposing an existing site, the school district will avoid incurring additional costs associated with property acquisition while maintaining wise stewardship and effective utilization of its existing assets.

Zoning and General Plan Consistency
The project site occurs on land contained in the PF (Public Facilities) zone district and has a General Plan land use designation of CF (Community Facilities).

The project upholds consistency with the purpose of the General Plan Land Use designation of CF, described in the General Plan 2030 as below:
“Designates existing and potential community facilities, including schools, government offices, community buildings such as the Civic Auditorium, sewer and water facilities, and the City landfill. Also applies to land used by State highways.” Because the California Coastal Commission has not yet adopted the City’s General Plan 2030, and the subject site occurs on land within the Coastal Zone, the proposed project is additionally

22.4 evaluated for consistency with the City’s 1990-2005 General Plan (“2005 General Plan”). The subject site bears a Land Use Designation of “Community Facilities” pursuant to the 2005 General Plan.

The project exhibits consistency with the purpose of the General Plan Land Use designation of CF as identified in both current and former General Plan, conforming to, and fostering the attainment of, many goals and policies of both documents, as described at length in the attached Staff Report to the Planning Commission.

Design Permit
The proposed project requires approval of a Design Permit per SCMC Section 24.08.410 as a project wherein the applicant is a public agency over which the City may exercise land use controls, as a public project within the Coastal Zone, and as a project which requires a Planned Development Permit, as well as “for multiple dwellings and dwelling groups containing three or more dwelling units,” with the Design Permit intended to promote high quality of project design consistent with the standards for aesthetics typifying the Santa Cruz community. Staff have focused the Design Review on conformance of the proposal to the City’s Objective Design Standards for Multifamily Development (SCMC Section 24.12.185); an evaluation of the proposal reveals its consistency with applicable Objective Design Standards, as demonstrated in the attached compliance matrix.

As currently proposed, the project presents high quality of architecture and site design, satisfying the stated rationale of the requirement for Design Permit as identified in the SCMC and introducing a site configuration and building form aligned to the City’s Multifamily Objective Design Standards.

Coastal Permit
As proposed, the project avoids adverse impacts to views of, and public access to, the coast, and staff recommend that the Council make the findings to support approval of a Coastal Permit, as described in the attached resolution and as further detailed in the Planning Commission staff report.

Heritage Tree Removal Permit
A Heritage Tree Removal Permit is required for removal of up to six (6) Heritage trees at the subject site per City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code Section 9.56.060 due to conflicts with the location of the proposed building and associated site improvements. The submitted arborist report further recommends elimination of one additional Heritage-sized tree located on the adjacent lot immediately south of the subject site, which is also owned by the school district.

Removal of this tree on the adjacent property is not part of the subject approval and will be addressed through separate permits, should the school district seek to remove it. Conditions of approval require replacement of any tree removed with minimally two trees of at least 24-inch box-size, including foliage varieties supportive of monarch butterfly populations.

22.5 Affordable Housing
SCMC Section 24.16.020 generally requires that residential developments creating five or more new residential dwelling units provide at least 20% of their dwelling units as inclusionary (affordable) units, which must be made available for lease to low-income households at an affordable rent. Inclusionary units are restricted in perpetuity to households earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI).

As an alternative to the aforementioned requirement, SCMC 24.16.030(10)(b) offers the following means of compliance, applicable only to school-district employer-sponsored housing:
 School district employer sponsored housing projects conforming to the requirements of the Teacher Housing Act of 2016 (Health and Safety Code Section 53570 et seq. or successor provisions) will be deemed to satisfy the inclusionary housing requirements of this chapter. For any such projects, an agreement must be executed to formalize that the project has met this alternate means of compliance, and annual compliance reports must be submitted to confirm compliance with the affordability provisions of the Teacher Housing Act of 2016.

The applicant has invoked the above provision, declaring the intent to pursue provision of all 100 residential units with rent restricted to a maximum of approximately 60% to 65% of market rate to serve the target population. Such rent restriction stems from compliance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016, which defines “affordable rental housing” pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 53572(a) as rental housing “with a majority of its rents restricted to levels that are affordable to persons and families of low or moderate income”. Conditions of approval require that the project provide full conformance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016, bolstered through mandatory submittal of an affordable housing agreement acceptable to the City prior to issuance of any Building Permit related to the project and provision of annual reports demonstrating compliance with applicable State law.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) serves to disclose and mitigate potential environmental impacts of activities, including development projects. For assessment of the proposed project’s likelihood for impact to the environment, an Initial Study of Environmental Impact (Initial Study), dated December 2024, was prepared by consulting firm Dudek, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15074. Among other criteria, the Initial Study includes an evaluation of the project’s potential for “conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance), through a determination of whether the proposed project would not be inconsistent with any such plan or policy.

The Initial Study indicates that the project holds the potential to generate significant environmental impacts, but which can be mitigated to levels below established thresholds of significance through the adoption and incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures.

Consequently, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared in accordance with the procedures directed in CEQA to assess, disclose, and mitigate the potentially significant environmental impacts of the entire scope of the proposed project. The Draft MND, attached, identifies potentially significant environmental impacts related to hazardous materials associated with the site’s past use by the US Army Reserve. The analysis contained in the IS/MND

22.6 concludes that the proposed project will not induce a significant impact on the environment with mitigation measures implemented related to soil remediation, testing, and management. All mitigation measures included in the MND have been included in a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and incorporated as project conditions of approval.

A Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (NOI) was prepared and filed with the Santa Cruz County Clerk and submitted to the State Department of Land Use and Climate (formerly Governor’s Office of Policy and Research) Clearinghouse on December 16, 2024, initiating a 30-day period of circulation allowing for public comment through January 15, 2025.

In response, letters were received from the California Department of Conservation, dated January 10, 2025; California Department of Fish and Wildlife dated January 10, 2025, and Stephen Svete, dated January 15, 2025. None of the correspondence submitted raised concerns regarding the project’s potential to effect environmental impacts not already addressed in the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration.

With adoption and implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, the Findings of Fact under CEQA conclude that the proposed project will have no significant adverse impact on the environment.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): HiAP is a collaborative approach to improving the health of all people by incorporating health considerations into decision-making across sectors and policy areas. HiAP rests on three pillars: equity, public health, and sustainability. HiAP serves to ensure that all decision-makers remain informed about the health, equity, and sustainability impacts of various policy options during the policy development process. The proposed project supports the pillar of equity by providing rental units on an infill site within a developed locale improved with sidewalks and street trees and offering direct access to public transportation, commercial goods and services, and recreational areas, including ample opportunities for recreation and respite provided by virtue of the site’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Through the incorporation of bicycle parking and pedestrian connections, the redevelopment fosters improved public health by promoting use of alternative modes of transportation in a resource-rich environment encouraging active transportation and outdoor recreation. Additionally, the construction of residences on an existing low-performing, underutilized site upholds sustainability through intensified development of land in a locale surrounded by urban uses and served by existing utilities and transportation infrastructure. As such, the project fortifies the three pillars of HiAP and demonstrates efficient and judicious use of the subject property.

The proposed project offers affordable housing for educators of the City while maximizing provision of off-street parking, preservation of open space, connectivity to surrounding land uses, and compatibility with the built environment in the vicinity of the subject site. Through supply of residential units dedicated to teachers and school district personnel, the project bolsters stability in staffing which benefits both students and the broader community through preparation of the local populace for successful entry into, and contribution to, the area’s economy via provision of a well-trained local workforce, while enhancing use of an underutilized site, facilitating appropriate infill development, and ensuring wise stewardship of public assets.

22.7 FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: Yes

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The applicant has paid fees to compensate for costs associated with staff’s processing of this application. The project, if approved, will contribute to increased property tax revenue to the City, and the applicant/developer will be required to pay City impact fees, generating additional sources of funding for municipal services. Over time, residential projects have the potential to have a net negative impact on the City’s general fund due to the range of services provided to residents.

FINDINGS
Planned Development Permit, Section 24.08.770

1. Is consistent with the General Plan, the Local Coastal Land Use Plan, and adopted area plans.

The subject parcel has a General Plan land use designation of CF (Community Facilities), which envisions land identified with this classification serving as, “existing and potential community facilities, including schools, government offices, community buildings such as the Civic Auditorium, sewer and water facilities, and the City landfill. Also applies to land used by State highways.” Residential use is not included among the categories of land uses encompassed by the CF General Plan Land Use designation; however, provision of multifamily residential use to accommodate housing of school district personnel for long-term retention of employees supports the school district’s mission of educating students.

The proposed project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, including the following:

22.10 RESOLUTION NO.
3 Goal LU1 Sustainable Land Uses
 Policy LU1.1: Relate residential, commercial and industrial land use intensities to the capability and location of the land while ensuring optimum utilization of infill parcels.  Policy LU3.7: Encourage higher-intensity residential uses and maximum densities in accordance with the general plan land use designations.

Goal LU3 A complementary balance of diverse land uses
 Policy LU3.1: Foster land use patterns that balance economic, housing, community, and environmental needs, and promote social diversity.

 PR1.7: Require developers to mitigate the impacts of their property improvements on city parks, recreation facilities and open space areas.

Goal ED4 A skilled, educated, and diverse local workforce  Policy ED4.2 Retain and expand the existing base of medium and large employers in Santa Cruz

22.11 RESOLUTION NO.
4  Policy ED4.1 Promote the education and training of the workforce to meet the needs of emerging economies.

The proposed project advances the above goals and policies of the General Plan and conforms to the purpose of the P-F (Public Facilities) zone district, “to designate public buildings and facilities and to ensure that there is a compatible relationship between such uses and the surrounding area”.

No area plan applies to the project site.

2. Is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and other applicable sections of this title.

The P-F (Public Facilities) zoning district specifies categories of uses principally-permitted and conditionally-permitted. Per City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code Section 24.10.1770, “government facilities; local, state, and federal” and “school, public” appear among the classes of land use accommodate by the district via discretionary review, without residential uses listed among them.

A Planned Development Permit “provides variation on district regulation, where appropriate, in the following areas”, including “uses”, thus providing a mechanism for consideration of multifamily workforce housing project as proposed at the subject site.

As prescribed by the Municipal Code, “the land area subject to planned development permit shall comprise at least twenty thousand square feet”. With a lot size in excess of four acres, the project fulfills the criterion for minimum land area. Further, the Planned Development Permit requires that “the applicant owns or controls the land subject to the planned development permit application”. As Santa Cruz City Schools holds the subject lot in fee-simple ownership, the school district will retain control of project entitlement, construction, and long-term operation and management, satisfying the above finding.

3. Includes planned variations to underlying district regulations which serve public purposes to an equivalent or higher degree than would underlying district regulations.

As an approximately 4.08-acre, generally rectangular, contiguous site, the subject lot provides adequate size to accommodate a creative and innovative design, while a team of two professional architecture firms with experience in designing educational facilities have devised the proposed site configuration, building forms, and architecture. The provision of affordable housing for educators provides a clear and demonstrable benefit to the public. Existing site topography will remain largely unchanged, while on-site natural features will remain intact to the extent practicable.

The inclusion of 119 off-street, surface parking spaces for residents and employees of the new residential building, will offset increased demand for on-street parking in the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Provision of ample open space and landscape areas on the site for the enjoyment and benefit of the building’s inhabitants and their guests offers a visual benefit to neighboring properties, both enhancing the local environment and offering greater access to neighboring Sergeant Derby Park.

The proposed project introduces an infill residential development of high density within a minimal building footprint in the context of a site plan integrating generous vehicular and bicycle parking

22.12 RESOLUTION NO.
5 providing connectivity to surrounding destinations in a location well-served by public transit, while offering affordable residences to educators and support staff, thereby reducing school staffing turnover due to high housing costs.

4. Can be coordinated with existing and proposed development of surrounding areas.

The proposed project will maintain a balance of scale, form and proportion to both the existing site and neighboring properties in a variety of ways. Through removal of dated, underutilized, low-density, under-performing buildings, the project will allow for better use of a constrained property while continuing the residential character of the site and maintaining cohesiveness to surrounding uses. Minor regrading of the project area and setting of new surface material will combine for improved circulation and site access conducive to a high-density commercial/ residential use. New rooftop mechanical equipment and all ground-mounted equipment and utility installations will be required to be fully screened from view from surrounding properties and public rights-of-way.

Santa Cruz City Schools retains ownership of the parcel immediately to the south of the subject parcel, which contains an existing school; future plans for the adjacent lot envision retention of the existing school facilities. Additionally, no application for development of the properties to the north of the subject lot been received by the City, and reasonably foreseeable future conditions include retention of the existing industrial uses on parcels adjoining the project site. Surrounding residential neighborhoods will very likely continue such existing land uses for decades into the future. The proposed development therefore demonstrates coordination with existing and proposed development of land within the vicinity of the subject site.

5. Overall, the amenity level of the development and the amount of open space shall be greater than what would have been permitted by the underlying district regulations.

SCMC 24.10.1790 does not specify open space requirements in the district regulations for the PF district, and, therefore, pursuant to the Municipal Code, no minimum open space requirement pertains. Through provision of 51,200 square feet of common open space and 1,800 square feet of private open space dedicated to ground-floor units, the project provides, on average, 5,300 square feet of open space per residential unit, offering generous opportunities for respite and access by residents and visitors to both active and passive recreation opportunities. Including a direct connection to Sergeant Derby Park, and by virtue of the site’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, access to natural amenities remains intrinsic to the project’s location. With a proposal for planting of the number of trees as proposed, the project additionally enhances the site and surroundings through integration of features offering visual beauty and connection to nature.

Coastal Permit, Section 24.08.250

6. Maintain views between the sea and the first public roadway parallel to the sea;

22.13 RESOLUTION NO.
6 Situated at the southwest corner of Delaware Avenue and Swift Street, surrounded by established industrial and residential uses, approximately a third-mile north of the Pacific Ocean, the proposed project will not impact views between the sea and the first public roadway parallel to the sea.

7. Protect vegetation, natural habitats and natural resources consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan;
The subject site falls outside areas mapped for sensitive biological resources per General Plan 2030; however, the northeasterly corner of the site occurs with an area mapped as habitat potentially supportive of monarch butterfly habitat per General Plan 2005, with which the project must demonstrate compliance. Biotic consulting firm Ecosystems West has deemed that the project would induce no potential impact to potential monarch butterfly habitat or overwintering capacity. Conditions of approval require submittal of a formal biotic report to document such findings and ongoing compliance with the consultant’s recommendations.

The proposed project falls within an urbanized area, with a number of properties separating the subject site from surrounding sensitive habitat and identified waterways. The site carries no General Plan 2030 designation identifying it as a location potentially containing valuable or rare habitat, nor does it connect directly to other areas of natural habitat. The project will additionally have no effect on wildlife movement.

8. Be consistent with any applicable design plans and/or area plans incorporated into the Local Coastal Land Use Plan;
No design or area plan pertains to the subject site; therefore, the above finding remains inapplicable.

9. Maintain public access to the coast along any coastline as set forth in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan;
The project is set approximately a third mile from the coast and will not impair public access to the shore; rather, through development of 100 new residential units, the project will locate additional population proximate to the shore, thereby improving access to coastal resources. The project would maintain and not disrupt, but, rather, enhance existing circulation patterns due to incorporation of a new, widened sidewalk, new drive aisle, and multiple pedestrian pathways, including a formalized pathway continuing access from Swift Street to Sergeant Derby Park, thus introducing augmented internal and external connectivity. The project site is additionally positioned within an urbanized area in close proximity to employment, commercial goods and services, and recreational resources, facilitating the use of alternative modes of transportation.

10. Be consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan goal of providing visitor-serving needs as appropriate;
The project includes 100 new affordable housing units, consistent with the allowances of the Municipal Code, including the City’s Multifamily Objective Design Standards, providing enhanced residential capacity in close proximity to surrounding retail, employment, and other

22.14 RESOLUTION NO.
7 services. The project site will likely draw some visitors; however, the project objectives do not directly relate to visitor-serving development.

11. Be consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan goal of encouraging coastal development uses as appropriate.

The project affords consistency with the goal of encouraging coastal development uses, in that the proposed development will enhance access to the seashore by expanding the population in an area within walking and biking distance to the coast. No coastal resources will experience adverse effect, as the project will avoid impact to any coastal scenic viewsheds, the development is located a significant distance from designated sensitive environments, and the proposed design minimizes removal of Heritage trees, thus minimizing detrimental consequences to local ecology, the subject site, and its vicinity. The proposed building will additionally remain sympathetic to surrounding development with regard to mass and height.

Design Permit, Section 24.08.430

12. The site plan and building design are consistent with design and development policies, limited to those policies that constitute objective standards therein when required by state law, of the General Plan, any element of the General Plan, and any area plan, specific plan, or other city policy for physical development. If located in the Coastal Zone, the site plan and building design are also consistent with policies of the Local Coastal Program.

The project complies with all applicable objective standards. The subject site falls within the P-F (Public Facilities) zone district, governed by sparse development standards as identified in the Municipal Code; however, SCMC 24.12.185 contains a variety of objective criteria pertinent to project design. The proposed development achieves compliance with all such objective standards.

The project would replace aging features and fixtures with upgraded facilities at a site bounded on all sides by existing buildings of similar scale and range of land uses. Removal of assorted modular buildings and replacement with a new development boasting modern architecture and extensive amenities will maintain the existing land use and retain compatibility with the nature of surrounding uses of residential character, while avoiding spillover effects inducing detrimental effects to surrounding land uses. The project layout will allow for improved use of the site for public facilities use and maintain compatibility in design and utility of neighboring properties.

Building color and texture will complement adjacent topography to blend into the natural environment to the extent possible, in conformance to the appearance of the surroundings to achieve a design aesthetic in keeping with the high standards of the Santa Cruz visual environment and community expectations.

The project site plan demonstrates consistency with, and will facilitate achievement of, the goals, policies, and actions of General Plan 2005 and General Plan 2030, both of whose Land Use Maps designate the land including the subject parcel as “Community Facilities.” Construction of new, modern, amenity-rich residential units to replace existing on-site trailers, and reconfiguration of on-site parking, will provide improved utility of the site and provide for a more uniform, cohesive

22.15 RESOLUTION NO.
8 exterior appearance consistent with the bulk, mass, and architecture of existing, surrounding uses.

As proposed, the project will, therefore, 1) attain General Plan Goal CD-1 by promoting “a building environment in harmony with its natural setting;” 2) advance Policy CC2.1 to “provide community services and facilities in keeping with the needs of a growing and diverse population; and 3) support Policy CC2.1.1 to “update and replace facilities consistent with the General Plan Policy”. Consistency with the General Plan and other applicable regulations is further articulated in the project plans, staff reports, website materials for the project, public hearing presentations, and conditions of approval, and elsewhere in these findings.

13. The site plan and building design are in full conformance with the design standards of Section 24.12.185.

The proposed site plan and building design demonstrate consistency with the City’s Objective Design Standards for Multifamily Development as promulgated in Section 24.12.185 of the Municipal Code. The subject site occurs on land within the P-F (Public Facilities) zone district, and the project design complies with all applicable criteria of SCMC 24.12.185. In particular, revisions to the project design as initially submitted have been made to effect full compliance with the Objective Design Standards for Multifamily Development, as follows:

SCMC 24.12.185.4.d.: The project provides a new bicycle/pedestrian pathway through the subject site, 5 feet in width per minimum standards of the Public Works Department, thereby formalizing a long-standing access through the property from Swift Street to Sergeant Derby Park.

SCMC 24.12.185.4.e.: The sidewalk adjacent to Swift Street will measure minimally 8 feet in width as required, with dedication of land, or recordation of an easement to effectuate such widening.

SCMC 24.12.185.7: The submitted plan provides enclosures for refuse bins as set forth in the City of Santa Cruz Department of Public Works Refuse Container Storage Facility Standard Design Policy
SCMC 24.12.185.10: The easterly elevation of the east wing has been modified to incorporate six roof forms along the predominant building face, and the southeasterly elevation of the west wing has been updated to incorporate seven roof forms along the predominant building face per SCMC 24.12.185(10)(a).

The proposed roof form has additionally been revised to include a difference in height of at least three feet per roof form per SCMC 24.12.185(10)(b)(v).

SCMC 24.12.185.12: The form of the building has been revised to provide modulation of building faces greater than 30 feet in length, as required.

SCMC 24.12.185.16: As conditioned, a lighting plan fully compliant with the referenced Municipal Code provisions will be submitted.

22.16 RESOLUTION NO.
9 The project has been thoughtfully designed for consistency with applicable Municipal Code requirements and applicable provisions of the Building and Fire Codes. Through iterative revision, the proposed design ensures preservation of existing trees and prevents adverse impacts to natural resources to the degree possible. The design of the project and all landscaping will enhance the aesthetics of the project site and allow for an intensity of use and activity appropriate for the site’s industrial and residential surroundings, while site improvements will combine for improved circulation and site access.

The project scope of work includes new landscaping integrating native vegetation and low wateruse, drought-tolerant plant varieties. The project will further be required to comply with all applicable provisions of Municipal Code Chapter 16.16, Water-Efficient Landscaping, related to regulation of landscape design, construction, and maintenance, thereby promoting efficient water use, facilitating management of peak season water demand, and assisting with the preservation of water storage to ensure a reliable and adequate public water supply. The application has been conditioned to provide a final landscape plan for review and approval with the building permit plans.

Through removal of underutilized buildings and a largely abandoned surface parking lot, the proposed project will allow for better use of the subject property while maintaining cohesiveness to surrounding uses. Provision of 100 new residential units to house educators and support staff will provide residences tailored to the needs of the Santa Cruz City School District, intended for attraction and retention of a high-quality workforce while adding to the stock of affordable housing providing accommodations for an underserved segment of the community, demonstrating clear benefits to the public.

Heritage Tree Removal Permit, Chapter 9.56, City Council Resolution No. NS-23, 710

14. A heritage tree or shrub, as defined in Chapter 9.56 of the City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code shall only be altered or removed in the following circumstances:
a) Alteration of a heritage tree or shrub would only affect less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the crown of said heritage tree or heritage shrub; b) Findings by the Director of Parks & Recreation can be established in conformity with the City’s Urban Forest and Wildland Interface Policy Statement; c) One or more of the following findings are established by the applicant and confirmed by the Director of Parks & Recreation:
1) The heritage tree or heritage tree shrub has, or is likely to have, an adverse effect upon the structural integrity of a building, utility, or public or private right of way;
2) The physical condition or health of the tree or shrub, such as disease or infestation, warrants alteration or removal;
3) A construction project design cannot be altered to accommodate existing heritage trees or heritage shrubs.

The arborist report prepared by ISA Certified Arborist Nigel Belton dated May 24, 2023, confirms that six (5) trees, 14 inches diameter (or greater), located within the project work area, will present locational conflicts with the proposed building, with the removal of such trees therefore

22.17 RESOLUTION NO.
10 recommended. Additionally, one tree appears in poor condition as demonstrated in the submitted arborist report and not suitable for retention in the project. Thus, the number of Heritage trees recommended for removal because of high construction impacts or poor condition totals six (6).

The project design has elicited mindful review of available options resulting in minimal impacts to existing trees. A condition of approval requires replacement of each tree proposed to be removed at a ratio of two, 24-inch-box-sized trees. Given the disparate arrangement of trees throughout the parcel and the objective of maintaining minimal impact to existing foliage, the project balances the potentially conflicting motivations of retention of existing trees and provision of affordable housing.

Alternative Methods to Comply with Inclusionary Housing Requirements, Section 24.16.030

15. The proposal for the alternative method of compliance is consistent with the Santa Cruz General Plan and all of its elements.

The applicant has invoked SCMC 24.16.030(10)(b), stating the intent to pursue provision of all 100 residential units at the Low/Moderate Income level to serve the target population, thus providing a functional alternative to, and exceeding the minimum requirements of, SCMC

24.16.020, which requires 20% of dwelling units serve as inclusionary units in a project with five or greater residential units. Rents will be restricted to 60% to 65% of market rate. A condition of approval requires that the project maintain full conformance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016, which legislation requires the majority of units remain restricted to rents affordable to low or moderate income persons or families as defined in Health and Safety Code 50093. A further condition of approval requires submittal of an affordable housing agreement acceptable to the City prior to issuance of any Building Permit related to the project, as well as submittal of annual reports demonstrating compliance with applicable State law. Such approach will advance goals of the General Plan regarding provision of affordable housing, particularly for local employees, as previously referenced in the findings contains herein.

16. The proposal conforms to the standards established for inclusionary units in Section

24.16.025, unless the alternative method does not require compliance with that section.

The proposed project will conform to all standards of SCMC 24.16.025. Distribution of residential units of various types throughout the development will avoid an overconcentration of any particular unit type, and all units will uphold consistency in exterior appearance, materials, and finished quality, in keeping with the intent of the Municipal Code related to equitable distribution and presentation of residential units. Submittal of an affordable housing agreement, subject to review by City staff and the City Attorney’s Office, will ensure compliance with all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, including SCMC 24.16.025. Conditions of approval additionally ensure ongoing conformance with the Teacher Housing Act of 2016.

BUILT ON AN UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL OWNED BY THE SANTA CRUZ CITY SCHOOLS DISTRICT, THE PROJECT AIMS TO ACHIEVE A BEST USE OF THE LAND BY CONSTRUCTING A NEW MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BUILDING TO FILL A CRITICAL GAP IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR THE EDUCATORS WORKING IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

THE SITE IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY SURFACE PARKING, AN UNCOVERED STORAGE YARD, AND IMPERVIOUS PAVING, AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES:
• (1) ONE STORY, 2,077 S.F. ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING TO REMAIN W/ EXISTING BUSINESS (B) USE. BUILDING IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY THE SANTA CRUZ EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WHICH WILL MOVE OUT PRIOR TO THE START OF CONSTRUCTION. SPACES

PROPOSED TO BE USED BY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICES AND SUPPORT SPACES FOR THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
• (1) ONE STORY, 3,308 S.F. EDUCATIONAL BUILDING USED THE WESTSIDE PARENT EDUCATION NURSERY SCHOOL, WHICH WILL MOVE OUT BY JANUARY 1, 2025. THE

BUILDING IS TO REMAIN, BUT THE USE IS PROPOSED TO BE CHANGED TO STORAGE EXCLUSIVELY FOR RESIDENTS OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

EXISTING RESTROOMS TO REMAIN FOR RESIDENT USE ONLY.
• (2) ONE STORY MOBILE, PORTABLE CLASSROOM BUILDINGS USED BY THE SANTA CRUZ OFFICE OF EDUCATION TRANSITION PROGRAM, WHICH WILL MOVE OUT BY JUNE, 2025.

THESE BUILDINGS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY.

ADDITIONALLY, THE SITE ALSO CONTAINED A BUILDING THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN DEMOLISHED. A PERMIT FOR THIS DEMOLITION COULD NOT BE LOCATED.

SITE DESIGN
THE SITE ITSELF - 313 SWIFT ST. - IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY TWO EXISTING, SINGLE STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS ON THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE PLOT, THAT ARE TO REMAIN. ONE

OF THESE IS PROPOSED TO BE CONVERTED TO STORAGE USE FOR THE NEW BUILDING'S

RESIDENTS AND THE OTHER WILL HOUSE RESIDENTIAL SUPPORT SPACES SUCH AS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICES. THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE PLOT WILL BE OCCUPIED BY THE PROPOSED 4-STORY RESIDENTIAL STACKED FLAT BUILDING.

THE SITE DESIGN PROPOSED IS INTENDED TO MAXIMIZE DENSITY WITHIN A MINIMAL

BUILDING FOOTPRINT, SO THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE SITE CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO LANDSCAPED AREAS. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, DESCRIBED ON L1.00, AIMS TO FOSTER A

SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN THE BUILDING'S RESIDENTS THROUGH SHARED OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES IN A PARK-LIKE SETTING. THIS STRATEGY ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE

INCLUDING OF A LARGER SURFACE PARKING LOT FOR THE RESIDENTS, MINIMIZING

ADDITIONAL STRESS ON ON-STREET PARKING IN THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE EAST OF THE SITE.

THE PROJECT ALSO PROPOSED A NEW PEDESTRIAN FOOTPATH FROM SWIFT ST. TO

SERGEANT DERBY PARK, TO FORMALIZE THE CURRENT, INFORMAL ACCESS PATH AS AN ADDITIONAL PUBLIC BENEFIT ON THE SITE.

BUILDING DESIGN

THE BUILDING DESIGN AIMS TO RESPOND TO THE SITE'S URBAN CONTEXT AND UNIQUE

CIRCUMSTANCES AS A ZONE OF TRANSITION BETWEEN THREE DISPARATE URBAN CONDITIONS. THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST IS CHARACTERIZED BY

LARGER, MORE INDUSTRIAL SCALED BUILDINGS AND THEIR RESPECTIVELY LARGER PARCELS; TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, SMALLER, MORE FINE-GRAINED, SINGLE FAMILY, SINGLE STORY HOMES DOMINATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD; DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTHWEST, SERGEANT DERBY PARK IS A GREEN SPACE FOR RESIDENT ENRICHMENT; AND FINALLY, THE OPEN FIELD OF THE GATEWAY SCHOOL THAT TERMINATES AT STOCKTON AVE., WHICH CREATES A VIEW CORRIDOR TO THE OCEAN, 600 YARDS AWAY.

THE GOAL OF THE DESIGN IS ALSO TO ARTICULATE THE SEPARATE UNITS AND RESIDENTIAL

CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING AND ITS INHABITANTS WITHIN THE LARGER, COLLECTIVE FORM OF THE BUILDING AND THE COMMUNITY IT HOPES TO CREATE.

THE BUILDING DESIGN RESPONDS TO THESE CONDITIONS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
• THE BUILDING IS BROKEN UP INTO THREE DISTINCT MASSES, OR WINGS, CONNECTED BY

EXTERIOR BRIDGES, WHICH MIMIC THE SCALE OF THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND

REINFORCE THE COLLECTIVE NATURE OF THE NEW COMMUNITY, WHILE ALSO ENSURING THE BUILDING DOES NOT OVERWHELM ITS IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS. • THE MASSING OF EACH WING IS FURTHER DEFINED INTO LONGER, SIDE-BY-SIDE BARS: A

SHED ROOF VOLUME, INSPIRED BY LARGE SCALE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING TYPOLOGIES,

AND A RECTANGULAR VOLUME WITH ARTICULATED FORMS THAT ARE MORE COMMONLY FOUND ON MID-SIZE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.
• THE WINGS ARE ARRANGED TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCES, RANGING FROM A "FRONT YARD" AT THE NORTHEAST, BY THE BUILDING LOBBY AND COMMUNITY ROOM, A MORE PRIVATE "BACK YARD" AT THE NORTHWEST, AND A

COMMUNAL INTERIOR COURTYARD THAT ANGLES TO OPEN TOWARD THE VIEW CORRIDOR TO THE BEACH.
• THE ARTICULATION, MODULATION OF PLANES, AND EXPRESSION OF ROOF FORMS ON THE

FACADES ADHERES TO THE SANTA CRUZ RESIDENTIAL OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS

SO THAT IT CAN HARMONIZE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL CONTEXT WHILE ALSO EXPRESSING THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THE UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN.

DESIGN NARRATIVE
P-F: PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT
USE

THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS BEING SUBMITTED AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR VARIATIONS FROM CODIFIED USES PER SCMC 24.08.720.

RESIDENTIAL USES ARE NOT A PRINCIPALLY PERMITTED USE PER SCMC 24.10.1765 OR A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE PER SCMC 24.10.1770. HOWEVER, SCMC 24.10.1780 STATES:

ANY OTHER USE OR SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT DETERMINED BY THE ZONING

ADMINISTRATOR TO BE OF THE SAME GENERAL CHARACTER AS THE FOREGOING USES,

AND WHICH WILL NOT IMPAIR THE PRESENT OR POTENTIAL USE OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES, MAY BE PERMITTED.

THE PURPOSE OF THE P-F DISTRICT, WHICH, IN SCMC 24.10.1760, IS STATED TO:

DESIGNATE PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES AND TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS A COMPATIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUCH USES AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL USE IS RESERVED FOR SCCS EMPLOYEES ONLY AND THE BUILDING AND PROPERTY WILL BE WHOLLY OWNED BY SCCS. THIS USE IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL R-1-5 ZONES TO THE EAST, THE SOUTH (ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE GATEWAY SCHOOL) AND THE SOUTHWEST (ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SERGEANT DERBY PARK.

THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL USE IS MOST SIMILAR TO THE CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USES DESCRIBED IN SCMC 24.10.1770(2) WHICH REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND A DESIGN PERMIT.

HEIGHT
PER SCMC 24.10.1790, THE HEIGHT LIMITS FOR P-F DISTRICTS ARE SET AT:
• 35' FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS
• 50' FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL AREAS

AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH THE SANTA CRUZ PLANNING DEPARTMENT, THE HEIGHT LIMIT FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT WAS SET AT 50' DUE TO THE SITE LOCATION AT THE TRANSITION POINT FROM RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL USES.

THE PROJECT PROPOSED IS 4 STORIES, AND 50' HIGH, AS MEASURED TO THE MIDPOINT OF

SLOPED ROOFS, TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF MAXIMIZING AVAILABLE AFFORDABLE UNITS, OFF

STREET PARKING, PROVIDING A NEW PEDESTRIAN PATH TO SERGEANT DERBY PARK AND THE

PRESERVATION / ENHANCEMENT OF THE SITE THROUGH ITS LANDSCAPE FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF THE RESIDENTS, GREATER PUBLIC, AND LOCAL WILDLIFE.

SETBACKS
PER SCMC 24.10.1790(2) WHICH STATES:

SETBACKS SHALL REFLECT THOSE REQUIRED BY ADJACENT DISTRICTS.

THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

FRONT - SWIFT ST.: 20' ADJACENT ZONE: R-1-5
REAR: 0' ADJACENT ZONE: I-G / PER2
SIDE: 0' ADJACENT ZONE: I-G / PER2
INTERIOR SIDE: 0' ADJACENT ZONE: I-G / PER2
THE PROPOSED SETBACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

FRONT - SWIFT ST.: 241' - 3"
REAR: 20' - 8"
SIDE: 70' - 11"
INTERIOR SIDE: 17' - 7"

THE BUILDING SETBACKS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO ALLOW MORE SPACE FOR THE FOLLOWING:
• FRONT: TO ALLOW THE EXISTING BUILDING TO BE RETAINED AND TO MINIMIZE THE BULK AT MASSING AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE SITE AND A LOWER DENSITY, PRIMARILY 1 STORY RESIDENTAIL NEIGHBORHOOD.
• REAR: TO ALLOW FOR INCREASED OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
• SIDE: TO ALLOW FOR A LARGE, OFF-STREET SURFACE PARKING LOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF

THE RESIDENTS AND TO LIMIT THE IMPACT ON EXISTING PARKING IN THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
• INTERIOR SIDE: TO ALLOW FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW PUBLIC PEDESTRIAN PATH FROM SWIFT ST. TO SERGEANT DERBY PARK.

PLANNING & ZONING ANALYSIS

OPEN SPACE
SCMC 24.10.1790 DOES NOT SPECIFY OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS IN THE DISTRICT REGULATIONS FOR THE P-F DISTRICT. HOWEVER, SCMC 24.12.185(8)(c) DEFINES

REQUIRED OPEN SPACE FOR SPECIFIC DISTRICTS THAT ALLOW RESIDENTIAL USES AS FOLLOWS:
• PRIVATE USABLE OPEN SPACE MUST BE AT LEAST 4' IN ANY HORIZONTAL DIMENSION AND COMMON USABLE OPEN SPACE MUST BE AT LEAST 15' IN ANY HORIZONTAL DIMENSION.
• THERE SHALL BE NO LIMIT TO THE PERCENT OF THE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE

THAT MAY BE ASSIGNED TO PRIVATE BALCONY OR PATIO AREAS
• NO LESS THAN 25% OF THE TOTAL COMMON OPEN SPACE SHALL BE PERMANENTLY LANDSCAPED WITH LIVE PLANT MATERIAL....

ADDITIONALLY, SCMC 24.12.185(8)(c) DEFINES REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC LANDSCAPE FEATURES THAT ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN COMMON OPEN SPACES.

DOCUMENTATION SHOWING COMPLIANCE WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLANS, SPECIFICALLY SHEET L1.00 - LANDSCAPE SITE PLAN.

FOR REFERENCE, SCMC 24.12.185(8)(a) AND 24.12.185(8)(b) DEFINE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE AS FOLLOWS:
• C-C, R-T(C), C-T, C-N C-B, PA AND ALL MU DISTRICTS:
- 40 S.F. OF PRIVATE OPEN SPACE PER DU
- 20 S.F. OF COMMON OPEN SPACE PER DU
- COMMON OPEN SPACE MAY BE SUBSTITUED FOR PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AT A RATIO OF 2:1 (80 S.F. OF COMMON SPACE MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR 40 S.F. OF COMMON SPACE).
• IN ALL R-DISTRICTS AND IN THE R-T(A), R-T(D) AND R-T(E) DISTRICTS, THE

AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE UNDERLYING ZONE DISTRICT STANDARD, WHICH RANGES FROM 250 S.F. TO 400 S.F. OF USABLE OPEN SPACE PER DU.

THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT MAKES USES OF THE HEIGHT LIMIT VARIATION TO

CONCENTRATE THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, FREEING UP MORE OF THE SITE FOR

LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE, TO EXCEED THE REFERENCED REQUIREMENTS AS FOLLOWS:

OPEN SPACE CALCULATIONS
PROVIDED: PRIVATE OPEN SPACE: 1,800 S.F.
(FOR 22 LEVEL 1 UNITS ONLY)
COMMON OPEN SPACE: 51,200 S.F.

TOTAL OPEN SPACE: 53,000 S.F.

COMMON OPEN SPACE PER DU: 530 S.F. / DU

DWELLING UNIT DENSITY

THE DISTRICT REGULATIONS FOR A P-F DISTRICT DO NOT DEFINE A MAXIMUM DWELLING UNIT DENSITY. HOWEVER, PER SCMC 24.16.255, OTHER LIMITATIONS, SUCH AS F.A.R, HEIGHT, PARCEL COVERAGE AND AVERAGE UNIT SIZES, CAN BE USED TO

EXTRAPOLATE AN IMPLIED MAXIMUM DWELLING UNIT DENSITY, AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1. THE MAXIMUM BUILDING FOOTPRINT CAN BE FOUND BY MULTIPLYING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SITE BY THE MAXIMUM PARCEL COVERAGE:
177,584 SQ. FT. PARCEL SIZE x .4 = 71,033 SQ. FT.

2. THE MAXIMUM BUILDING SIZE CAN BE FOUND BY MULTIPLYING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT BY THE NUMBER OF STORIES ALLOWED BY THE CURRENT HEIGHT LIMITS:
35' HEIGHT LIMIT / 10' FLOOR-TO-FLOOR HEIGHT = 3.5 = 3 STORIES 71,033 SQ. FT. x 3 STORIES = 213,099 SQ. FT.

3. THIS MAXIMUM BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE IS UNDER THE MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE ALLOWED PER F.A.R. CALCULATIONS:
172,584 SQ. FT. PARCEL SIZE x 2.5 = 443,960 SQ. FT.

4. TO FIND THE DWELLING UNIT DENSITY, THE MAXIMUM BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE IS DIVIDED BY THE AVERAGE UNIT SIZE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT:
120,601 SQ. FT. / 100 DU = 1,206 SQ. FT. AVG DU SIZE
213,099 SQ. FT. / 1,206 SQ. FT. = 176 DU

5. FINALLY, THE MAXIMUM DWELLING UNIT DENSITY CAN BE FOUND BY DIVIDING THE MAXIMUM DWELLING UNIT COUNT BY THE SIZE OF THE SITE:
176 DU / 4.08 ACRES = 43 DU / ACRE MAXIMUM

PLANNING & ZONING ANALYSIS
LOT AREA NO MINIMUM 177,584 SQ. FT. / 4.08 ACRES PER SCMC 24.10.790, NO MINIMUM LOT AREA IS LISTED.
