COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Chief of Police Marc Schneider
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing an Application for the California Office of Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant Description:
The City Council will consider authorizing the submission of an application for the 2025 Grant Program Cycle of the California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of an application for the 2025 Grant Program Cycle of the California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant.
BACKGROUND:
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is a partnership effort between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the State of California. Each year OTS develops a highway safety plan identifying the key highway safety problems in the state and the most effective measures to address them.
The Santa Maria Police Department (SMPD) has received Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants from OTS since 2009. The awarded grant funding has been used for staff overtime working targeted traffic operations and for the purchase of equipment.
The SMPD is currently operating in a one-year OTS Grant that was awarded in October 2023. This grant has paid for overtime for specialized Driving Under the Influence (DUI) enforcement, DUI/driver license checkpoints, repeat DUI offender stakeouts, traffic safety presentations, and bike/pedestrian operations.
DISCUSSION:
The SMPD would like to submit a grant application for the Fiscal Year 2025 Grant Cycle to continue the previously implemented STEP and DUI Checkpoint programs. If awarded, the new OTS grant will run from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, and allow the SMPD to continue to supplement its enforcement efforts in critical traffic areas of the City and target traffic factors that lead to fatal and injury collisions. Funding will include
overtime and fringe benefits, training, and travel for officers, as well as funding for the purchase of DUI checkpoint supplies.
Fiscal Considerations
Staff will determine a dollar amount to request based on estimated operation and supply costs once approved to apply. OTS will make the final determination of funds awarded.
There are no matching funds required for this grant application.
Impact to the Community
With this funding, enforcement directed at making Santa Maria's roads safer will have a positive impact on the community. This grant will provide funding for traffic officers to continue their educational and enforcement efforts to combat the traffic issues within the City.

1. The City Manager or designee, is hereby authorized to submit a grant application, appropriate and expend funds awarded to the Santa Maria Police Department pursuant to the California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Grant Program; and
2. The Chief Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained.

Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 — Existing facilities (operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, etc.) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines because the scope of work to be conducted is an existing public facility with negligible expansion of the existing uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution awarding a bid to Main Line Engineering, in the amount of $1,209,295, for the construction of the McClelland Waterline Replacement Project, Bid No. 2023-16.
BACKGROUND:
Under the direction of the City of Santa Maria Utilities Department, the project was designed by GTA.

Work includes abandoning a section of the existing water main per City requirements, reconnecting existing laterals, connections, and main crossings, reconnecting 3" on -site irrigation/landscape meters, and lastly reconfiguring the fire hydrants at McClelland Alley off Main.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Just BOBA Five -Year Payment Plan for Growth Mitigation Impact Fees
Description:
The City Council will consider approving a five-year payment plan for Traffic Growth Mitigation fees. The total amount of Traffic Growth Mitigation Impact Fees to be deferred is $22,212.34. This will allow Just BOBA to operate as a business while paying the required fees over time.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving the deferral of Traffic Growth Mitigation Impact Fees to be paid over a five-year period for the Just BOBA development, located at 1954 South Broadway.
BACKGROUND:
The developer Judith Mendoza has applied for a building permit with the City of Santa Maria, Building Permit number B23-0552 to remodel an existing 1,348 square foot commercial retail space and construct a high -turnover sit-down restaurant in a PD/C-2 (Planned Development General Commercial) zone.
The California Legislature enacted AB1600 (the Mitigation Fee Act of 1987) to provide a method for communities to mitigate the impacts of growth on the local infrastructure. The City Council adopted the first Capital Improvement Plan and Ordinances for the City's Growth Mitigation Fee program in July 1993.
The City's Growth Mitigation Fee Program is codified in Municipal Code Chapter 8-15 and imposes the development impact fees on development projects. Development means any building or other alteration of or change in use. Changes in use may include, but not be limited to, conversion of general office to medical office, or conversion of retail space to restaurant/laundry/entertainment. The proposed development to remodel an existing
commercial retail space into a high -turnover sit-down restaurant is within the criteria to be considered for the City's Growth Mitigation Fee Program.
Impact fees are reflective of a development's share of the cost of providing the improvements necessary to meet the service demands that the development creates.
Municipal Code Section 8-15.06(g) stipulates that the City Council may consider allowing qualifying commercial developments the ability to pay Growth Mitigation fees as outlined in the current fee schedule over a period of time. The maximum amount of time for payback shall be five years. The payments shall be made yearly, and interest shall be paid. Interest calculations shall be based on the average annual interest rate for the Local Agency Investment Fund. Qualifying companies who wish to pursue this option shall sign an agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney and shall provide financial security guaranteeing payment.
DISCUSSION:
An agreement for the deferral of growth mitigation fees has been prepared by the City Attorney's Office and a Faithful Performance Bond ensuring financial security has been secured.
Per Section 8-15.06 of the City of Santa Maria Municipal Code, Just BOBA seeks the consideration of the City Council for the deferred payment of Growth Mitigation Impact Fees over the next five years for Building Permit B23-0552.
Alternative
The City Council may require the payment of growth mitigation fees over a shorter payback term, less than five years. This will require higher annual payments to be payable to the City.
Fiscal Considerations
The deferred payment of mitigation fees will result in delayed fees to the City. Although deferred, the City will obtain interest for the delay in payment.
The total amount of Traffic Growth Mitigation Impact Fees to be deferred is $22,212.34.
These payments are to be paid annually in five equal installments, plus interest based on the average annual interest rate for the Local Agency Investment Fund, on or before the dates set forth below:
1. January 16th, 2024
2. January 16th, 2025
3. January 16th, 2026
4. January 16th, 2027
5. January 16th, 2028
Impact to the Community
There should be no impacts outside of fiscal deferral. The funds are necessary for the buildout of the Traffic projects in the Capital Improvement Program, but the fund balance 2 is adequate for the planned projects and the deferral will not create delays for planned projects.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Public Works Brett Fulgoni
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing No Parking Zones on Bluebird Street
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the establishment of No Parking Zones on Bluebird Street to improve safety for drivers, as well as reduce vandalism and littering associated with vehicles that park on Bluebird Street
Environmental Notice: Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing No Parking Zones on the northerly and southerly way of Bluebird Street, beginning at the northeast intersection of School Street and Bluebird Street to the northerly boundary of the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood and east of the centerline of School Street continuing east, then continuing south to the northerly boundary of the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood.
BACKGROUND:
Multiple residents from the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood requested the establishment of a No Parking Zones on Bluebird Street between the northerly boundary of the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood and School Street. The request is in response to an increase in vandalism and littering associated with vehicles that park on Bluebird Street. Additionally, the request is also due to safety issues that arise when oversized vehicles park on Bluebird Street and narrow the available travel lane, creating a dangerous situation for drivers.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63-15, a Traffic Committee was formed to "be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way". The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for No Parking
Zones and recommends their establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate No Parking Zones within the City.
The No Parking Zones recommended to be established is described as follows:
1. Bluebird Street, along the northerly right of way, beginning at the northeast intersection of School Street and Bluebird Street and extending 450 feet east then continuing south for 300 feet to the northerly boundary of the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood.
2. Bluebird Street, along the southerly right of way, beginning at a point 60 feet east of the centerline of School Street continuing east for a length of 400 feet then continuing south for 260 feet to the northerly boundary of the Driftwood Gardens Neighborhood.
Alternative
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Parking Zones.
Fiscal Considerations
Establishing the No Parking Zone will require labor and materials to erect poles and mount signs. The posts and signs will need long-term maintenance as the signs fade, vehicular collisions, or vandalism occurs. Staff estimates it will cost the City $5,000 to install the signs. Account number 068-011-047-52-01 Alternative Transportation Enhancement will be used to cover these costs.
Impact to the Community
There are no anticipated impacts to the nearby commercial/industrial businesses as they have adequate onsite parking. The observed vehicles will no longer be allowed to park long-term.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Public Works Brett Fulgoni
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing a No Stopping Zone on Concepcion Avenue
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the establishment of No Stopping Zone on Concepcion Avenue to improve safety for drivers.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a No Stopping Zone on Concepcion Avenue, along the easterly curb face, beginning at the northeasterly intersection of Concepcion Avenue and Main Street continuing north for a length of 15 linear feet.
BACKGROUND:
Santa Maria resident, Mr. Jack Owen, requested staff review the intersection of Main Street and Concepcion Avenue for safety improvements because driver's line of sight is obstructed by vehicles parked too close to the intersection. Mr. Owen noted several near - misses that have occurred to him and others while turning from westbound Main Street onto Concepcion Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Staff brought this request to the Traffic Committee. Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63-15, a Traffic Committee was formed to "be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way". The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for establishing the No Stopping Zone and recommends its establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate No Stopping Zones within the City.
The No Stopping Zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
1. Concepcion Avenue, along the easterly curb face, beginning at the northeasterly intersection of Concepcion Avenue and Main Street continuing north for a length of 15 linear feet.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Stopping Zone.
Fiscal Considerations
Establishing the No Stopping Zone will require labor and materials to paint the curb red.
The painted curb will need to be maintained in the future as the paint fades. Staff estimates it will cost the City $1,050 to install the red curb. Account number 068-011-047- 52-01 Alternative Transportation Enhancement will be used to cover these costs.
Impact to the Community
Approximately one parking space will be removed to prevent vehicles from obstructing a driver's line of sight when turning onto Concepcion Avenue. Residents of the neighborhood and employees of the adjacent businesses will still have adequate parking on Concepcion Avenue.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Recreation and Parks Director Angela Oslund SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution for the Annexation and Assessment of the Maxco Packaging Warehouse Project into the Southwest Landscape Maintenance District
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the resolution annexing and assessing Maxco Packaging Warehouse Projects in to the Southwest Landscape Maintenance District Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt a Resolution for the annexation and assessment for the Maxco Packaging Warehouse projects that are within the respective Southwest Landscape Maintenance Districts.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Santa Maria has conditioned Maxco Packaging Warehouse, PD2021-0007; for the ongoing maintenance of landscape facilities served by the Southwest Landscape Maintenance Districts under the provision of the "Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972" for the purpose of levying and collecting assessments for perpetual landscape maintenance.
DISCUSSION:
At the City Council meeting of January 16th, 2024, the City Council adopted a Resolution initiating the proceedings to establish and levy the 2024-25 Landscape Maintenance District Assessments for the ongoing maintenance of landscape facilities served by the Southwest Landscape Maintenance District.
This item directs staff to add these assessments for Maxco Packaging Warehouse to the Southwest Landscape Maintenance Districts on the County of Santa Barbara Property Tax Roll.
Alternative(s)
Evaluate the option of not annexing Maxco Packaging Warehouse projects into the Southwest Landscape Maintenance Districts, recognizing that this decision would entail an increased financial responsibility for landscaping expenses on the part of the General Fund.
Fiscal Considerations
The annual costs of landscape maintenance are assessed against the benefited properties within said Districts. These assessments are reflective of the cost associated with the upkeep of public landscaping within these Districts.
Impact to the Community
These annexations and assessments provide for the maintenance of landscaping in perpetuity. The assessments generate a funding base to help finance most of the landscape maintenance costs within each of the respective districts named in this report, which in turn allows the City of Santa Maria to provide the highest level of service to residents.

WHEREAS, on May 2, 1989, the City Council of City adopted Resolution No. 89- 50 confirming the creation of the Southwest Landscape Maintenance District (hereinafter "Assessment District") based upon the approved Engineer's Report; and WHEREAS, the undersigned owner(s) of the real property located in the City of Santa Maria, County of Santa Barbara, State of California commonly known as Assessor Parcel Number (hereinafter "APN") 117-820-015 has applied to City of Santa Maria (hereinafter "City") for approval of the project known as Maxco Packaging Facility (hereinafter "Project Property") and located in the Assessment District as described in the Attachment "A" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein; and WHEREAS, a Planned Development PD2021-0007 was granted, approving the Project Property. The Planned Development Permit imposed a condition requiring the owner(s) of the Project Property to be annexed into the Assessment District by completing a Petition Requesting Annexation into City of Santa Maria Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (hereinafter "Petition") for the maintenance of certain common landscaping; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned owner(s) hereby request(s) the City Council of the City to annex the Project Property into the Assessment District to provide a means for funding the annual cost of maintaining certain public improvements which are of special benefit to the Project Property, and each and every parcel or lot within the Assessment District; and
WHEREAS, on July 18th, 2023, the City Council of City adopted Resolution No. 2023-110 authorizing the levying of the assessments for fiscal year 2023-2024 for the Assessment District based upon a revised Engineer's Report adopted by said resolution; and
WHEREAS, such annexation into Assessment District would result in an annual assessment being levied against the Project Property in an amount sufficient to fund the maintenance of such public improvements; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned owner(s) agree(s) to the imposition of assessments for the Project Property, and its inclusion in, the Assessment District as hereinafter provided; and
ATTACHMENT A
WHEREAS, the undersigned owner(s) waive(s) the right to have the annexation initiated, conducted, and completed pursuant to the procedures set forth in Streets & Highways Code Sections 22585 et seq. and/or Section 4 of Article XII of the California Constitution for the formation of assessment districts; and specifically waive(s) its/their right for the resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest provided for in said procedures.
NOW, THEREFORE, by this Petition, the undersigned owner(s) request(s) the City Council of the City to annex the Project Property into an Assessment District for the purpose of levying an annual assessment against the Property and each lot or parcel therein in the amount, for that purpose, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1. Purpose of the Annual Assessment. The annual assessment to be levied against the Project Property and each lot or parcel to be created therein shall be used exclusively for the purpose of funding the annual costs of maintaining public improvements described hereto in the Attachment "B" (hereinafter "Description of Work"). The undersigned owner(s) agree(s) that such public improvements, and the operation and maintenance of the same, are of special benefit to the Project Property and each lot or parcel to be created therein. The undersigned owner(s) acknowledge(s) that said Description of Work is part of the Engineer's Report attached to the above -referenced Resolution No. 2023-110 and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Amount of the Annual Assessment. The annual assessment to be levied against the Project Property to fund operation and maintenance of the Description of Work shall initially be the current Commercial Assessment District amount of $531.88 PER APN OR TENANT SPACE. Such annual assessment shall be levied against the Project Property during each City fiscal year that the Assessment District remains in effect, effective immediately. The undersigned owner(s) agree(s) that the amount of the annual assessment set forth does not exceed the cost of operating and maintaining the Description of Work.
3. CPI Adjustment in the Amount of the Annual Assessment. Commencing with the first City fiscal year in which an assessment is levied against the Project Property to fund operation and maintenance of the Assessment District improvements, and in each fiscal year thereafter that the Assessment District remains in effect, the annual assessment to be levied against the Project Property shall be increased in an amount necessary to reflect the increase in the cost of operating and maintaining the Assessment District Improvements due to inflation. The determination of whether there has been an increase in the cost of operating and maintaining the Assessment District improvements and the amount of the increase in the annual assessment, which is proportional to the increase in such costs, shall be based exclusively on the percentage increase in the consumer price index published by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for all Urban Consumers — U.S. Cities Average (all items) or any other measure employed by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics in lieu of such consumer price index that measures the cost of living in U.S. cities. The undersigned owner(s) agree(s) that the foregoing consumer price index most accurately reflects the likely annual increase in the cost
of operating and maintaining the Assessment District improvements due to inflationary factors.
4. Credits against the Annual Assessment. If, in any fiscal year in which an assessment is levied against the Project Property to operate and maintain the Description of Work, the amount of such assessment is greater than the actual cost of operating and maintaining the Description of Work, the difference between the assessment and the actual cost of operating and maintaining the Description of Work shall be credited against the assessment levied against the Project Property during the next succeeding fiscal year. As a result, the assessment levied against the Project Property during such next succeeding fiscal year will be reduced during that fiscal year, and that fiscal year only, by an amount equal to the amount of such credit.
5. Apportionment of Annual Assessments among Subdivision Lots, Parcels or Tenant Spaces. At such time as the Project Property is subdivided into lots, parcels and/or tenant spaces by reason of recordation of a final subdivision map or final parcel map, the assessment to be levied against the lots, parcels and/or tenant spaces shall be apportioned among the resulting lots, tenant spaces or parcels in accordance with the Engineer's Report for the fiscal year in which the lots, parcels and/or tenant spaces were subdivided and recorded by a final subdivision map or final parcel map. The undersigned owner(s) agree(s) that the net amount assessed in the Engineer's Report fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots, parcels and/or tenant spaces in proportion to the estimated benefits received by each such lot, parcel, and/or tenant space from the improvements described in Attachment B. The amount of the assessments shall be in accordance with the original Resolution (89-50) which provided for annual increases based upon the consumer price index referenced in paragraph 4 above.
6. Duration of the Annual Assessment. The annual assessment to be levied against the Project Property and each lot, tenant space, or parcel created therein to operate and maintain the Description of Work shall commence immediately and shall continue thereafter until such time as the City Council shall determine to abolish the Assessment District.
7 Waiver of Notice and Assessment District Protest Hearing. For purposes of annexation, under this Petition, and for no other purpose, the undersigned owner(s) hereby agree(s) to waive and forego the protest hearing (and notice of the date, time, and place of any protest hearing) on the Assessment District or the annexation of the Project Property into Assessment District, including, but not limited to, any such hearing or notice provided for by provisions of Streets & Highways Code Sections 22585 et seq., Government Code Sections 53750 et seq. and/or Section 4 of Article XI II C of the California Constitution.
8. Ballot in Favor of Assessment District. The undersigned owner(s) execute(s) this Petition both as the Petition for annexation into Assessment District, and as the ballot in favor of such Assessment District. In addition, the undersigned owner(s) hereby authorize(s) the Chief Deputy City Clerk to file this Petition as the undersigned owner'(s') ballot in favor of the Assessment District and the
annexation of the Project Property into Assessment District by recording a City Council resolution with the undersigned owner'(s') Petition attached thereto accepting said Petition of annexation into the Assessment District.
9. Proposition 218. The Project Property is/are subject to the provisions of Proposition 218.
10. Termination of Landscape Maintenance District. In the event the Assessment District operations cease through legislative or legal action, the undersigned owner(s) shall cooperate with the City to establish another funding mechanism to provide the landscaping maintenance contemplated by this Petition. In the event the undersigned owner(s) and City cannot establish such a mechanism as a result of legislative or legal action, the properties that front on the landscaping to be maintained shall be responsible for said maintenance at their sole cost and expense.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned owner(s) has/have executed this Petition at the City of Santa Maria, California, this 2/ day of Ai 1 11 Ei 20 Z7 .

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Utilities Shad S. Springer
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Use of California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Local Assistance Grant Funds Used for Reimbursement of Food Recovery -Related Equipment Purchases by Eligible Food Recovery Organizations in Santa Maria Description:
The City Council will consider authorizing the use of grant funding from California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Local Assistance Grant received in 2022 to reimburse the cost of food recovery -related equipment purchases by eligible food recovery organizations within the City of Santa Maria.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the use of California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Local Assistance Grant funds awarded to the City of Santa Maria to be used for the reimbursement of food recovery -related equipment purchases by eligible food recovery organizations within the City of Santa Maria.
BACKGROUND:
The Utilities Department provides integrated waste management services on behalf of the City of Santa Maria (City). This includes municipal solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste collection services for residential and commercial customers, operating the Santa Maria Regional Landfill (SMRL) at 2065 East Main Street, planning for the design, permitting, construction, and operations of the future Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) at Los Flores, and the implementation of solid waste recycling programs.
On January 4, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2021-10 adding Chapter 8- 21 to Title 8 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code regulating mandatory organic waste disposal reduction as required by California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), the Short -Lived Climate Pollutant Act.
Under SB 1383, the City is required to develop an Edible Food Recovery (EFR) Program to aid in the statewide goal of recovering 20 percent of the edible food that is currently disposed of by 2025. To meet the mandated statewide goal, the law requires each jurisdiction to establish and monitor a robust food recovery program, to strengthen relationships between commercial edible food generators (CEFGs) and food recovery organizations (FROs) within local communities. It also requires certain CEFGs to send FROs the maximum amount of edible food they would otherwise dispose of.
Entity Type
FROs Food Recovery
Organizations
CEFG- Commercial Edible
Tier 1 Food Generators
CEFG- Commercial Edible
Tier 2 Food Generators
Description
Organizations that take part in the recovery and public distribution of edible food
Supermarkets and grocery stores, wholesale food
vendors, food service providers, and food distributors
Date to begin donating excess food: January 1, 2022
Public schools, hotels, large restaurants, health
facilities, and large venues
Date to begin donating excess food: January 1, 2024
SB 1383 placed the CEFGs into two tiers to allow businesses and jurisdictions time to expand or build new food recovery infrastructure - and capacity - to donate foods that are harder to safely store and distribute.
As part of the City's EFR Program, the City was required to identify all local FROs and CEFGs. The Utilities Department conducted meetings with FROs located within Santa Maria city limits. The objective of each meeting was to determine how to increase EFR capacity and to identify opportunities to improve EFR efforts.
Based on those meetings, it was determined that four of the six identified FROs required resources and equipment to increase capacity and improve EFR efforts. The types of equipment requested by FROs included: commercial refrigerators and freezers; a vacuum sealer for preserving food; food transportation supplies such as insulated bags, thermal blankets, utility carts, and electric pallet jacks; digital floor scales; and food thermometers.
DISCUSSION:
In May 2022, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) awarded the City a Local Assistance Grant of $152,451 to assist with SB 1383 program implementation. Eligible costs include reimbursing FROs for eligible EFR equipment and indirect costs such as administrative costs directly associated with the grant. The Utilities Department proposes to use the grant funding to reimburse equipment purchases by FROs to help increase both capacity and recovery efforts.
To use the grant funding in this manner, CalRecycle requires the City and each FRO to enter into a service agreement for the equipment purchases. Staff and CalRecycle will work to develop a service agreement that meets this requirement. FROs will be required 2 to provide proof of purchase and confirmation of equipment installation. Upon verification by the Utilities Department, the City will reimburse FROs for the equipment costs.
As part of the EFR program, the Utilities Department will also conduct annual audits in conjunction with the annual FRO inspections, as required by SB 1383, to verify that the equipment is being used and maintained in accordance with the service agreement.
Eligibility requirements to request a service agreement are:
1. FROs must be located within the City limits,
2. FROs must have sufficient space and a reasonable need for additional equipment, and
3. FROs must be in compliance with the submission of annual reports to the City as required under SB 1383.
Currently, the following four FROs meet the above eligibility requirements to receive funding reimbursement under the proposed program:
1. Catholic Charities
2. Central Coast Rescue Mission
3. Good Samaritan
4. Salvation Army
Fiscal Considerations
This program will be funded through the Local Assistance Grant awarded by CalRecycle to the City in May 2022. It is estimated that approximately $141,000 will be used to reimburse FROs for EFR equipment, leaving approximately $11,451 for City staff labor costs related to managing the reimbursements.
The City will not incur any maintenance, installation, or utility costs related to the reimbursement of the EFR equipment.
Alternative(s)
The City Council may direct staff not to utilize the grant funding in this manner and instead identify other uses for the funding. Staff recommends partnering with local agencies to meet the needs of the community by using the funding as proposed.
Impact to the City
Reimbursing FROs for the cost of EFR equipment will directly increase the City's EFR capacity by assisting FROs with expanding their infrastructure and reducing the disposal of edible food. Additionally, improving the City's EFR program will aid the City in maintaining compliance with SB 1383 requirements through the use of grant funds.
Impact to the Community
Increasing the EFR capacity of local FROs will enable more edible food to be recovered and provided to residents in need in Santa Maria.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Assistant City Manager / Director of Community Development Chuen Wu
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution to Amend the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan; Introduction of an Ordinance to Amend the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan; Adoption of a Resolution Approving Planned Development Permit 2022-0017
Description:
The City Council will consider approving: 1) an Amendment to the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan (SPZ2022-0001) to amend the uses of the Planned Development/Light Industrial/Public Facilities - Airport (PD/LI/PF-A) district, and to modify the Foxenwood Lane roadway design; and 2) a Planned Development Permit (PD2022- 0017) for a 101,450 -square -foot Mini -Warehouse Facility on a five -acre site within a PD/M-1/PF-A (Planned Development/Light Manufacturing/Public Facilities) Zone District of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan.
Environmental Notice: The Project was adequately covered in a previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) certified for the approved 2021 Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan amendment pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15162.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt a Resolution for General Plan consistency to amend the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan to add "Heavy Retail Business" as a permitted land use in the Planned Development/Light Industrial/Public Facilities - Airport (PD/LI/PF-A) zone district, and to modify the Foxenwood Lane roadway design; and
2. Introduce an Ordinance for zoning consistency to amend the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan to add "Heavy Retail Business" as a permitted land use in the Planned Development/Light Industrial/Public Facilities -Airport (PD/LI/PF-A) zone district, and to modify the Foxenwood Lane Roadway design; and
3. Adopt a resolution approving a Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0017) for a 101,450 -square -foot Mini -Warehouse Facility on a five acre site within a PD/M- 1/PF-A (Planned Development/Light Manufacturing/Public Facilities) Zone District of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The project site is located within the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan area which includes the south and southeast areas of the Airport District lands bounded on the north by Skyway Drive with Orcutt Expressway/Highway 135 as the eastern boundary.
Union Valley Parkway is to the south, with the western boundary approximately 1/2 mile to the west of Blosser Road (Attachment A — Vicinity Map).
The Specific Plan proposes approximately 740 -acres of the total 2,598 -acre airport district lands for business park development consisting of light industrial, research, manufacturing, and commercial land uses with nearly 70 percent of the planning area to be reserved in passive and active open space. The Specific Plan also includes its own Airport -oriented zoning designations, each with development standards and lists of permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses unique from those found in Santa Maria Municipal Code Title 12 (Zoning Code).
In 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to a 28 -acre area of the Specific Plan located east of Union Valley Parkway and north of Highway 135. This amendment created new zoning categories, including the Planned Development/Light Industrial/Public Facilities - Airport (PD/M-1/PF-A) zone, which was exclusively applied to an 8.4 -acre area on the southern portion of the parcel west of Foxenwood Lane. This 8.4 acre -area is the subject site for this current proposed Specific Plan Amendment and Planned Development Permit application. The intent of this zone is to provide opportunities to develop compatible light industrial and community facility uses identified as either permitted or conditional uses within this zone.
Planning Commission:
The Planning Commission received a presentation on this project at the Study Session held on October 19, 2023. At their December 6, 2023, public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the Council by resolution, approve the proposed Specific Plan Amendment and Planned Development Permit applications.
DISCUSSION:
Specific Plan Additional Land Use — Heavy Retail Business To allow for additional permitted types of retail uses, the applicant is requesting to add "Heavy Retail Business" as a permitted use in the 8.4 -acre area of the Specific Plan zoned PD/M-1/PF-A. The proposed definition for the Specific Plan's Heavy Retail Business use is as follows:
The retail sale of large and/or bulk goods such as lumber, building equipment and supplies, landscape plants and materials, or other related home -improvement and garden materials and other similarly themed sundries. Ancillary uses to the primary "Heavy Retail Business" may include such uses as consumer level home - improvement oriented tool rental, sales, and servicing, small `consumer' tractor and equipment sales, or other uses consistent with and ancillary to the main Heavy Retail 2 Business. Ancillary screened outdoor public sales yards may be incorporated for marketing of items consistent with the Heavy Retail Business.
The proposed amendment also specifies that the Specific Plan's "Heavy Retail Business" land uses differ from other more intensive wholesale and production facility uses due to their target market being the homeowner and not the professional contractor or the trades.
The full PD/M-1/PF-A zone text with proposed modifications shown in red underline is provided as Attachment B. This type of use would be comparable in intensity to many of the permitted uses in the current text of the Specific Plan, such as `Equipment rental and/or service', or `Recreational vehicle and trailer sales and storage'. The use will be less intense than some of the currently permitted uses such as `Warehousing and wholesale distributors', `Manufacturing, processing, and packaging of pharmaceuticals and drugs', `Printing, publishing, and allied industries', or `water and wastewater treatment plants, substations and other public service facilities of a similar nature'.
The Planned Development Permit application for the mini -warehouse facility discussed later in this report proposes to develop approximately five acres of the 8.4 -acre PD/M-1/PF- A zone, and if approved, approximately three acres would remain for future uses in the zone. Those future projects would be reviewed for consistency with the Specific Plan's PD/M-1/PF-A zone designation, and the Specific Plan's development policies and design standards, as well as the environmental mitigations from the certified SEIR. Development of this site would also require the review and approval of grading and public improvement plans, storm water control plans, building permits, and other related City permits and approvals.
Revised Foxenwood Lane Street Section
The application also includes a request to amend the Specific Plan to replace the approved Foxenwood Lane street section between Foster Road and the Union Valley Parkway with a modified design. Section drawings of the existing industrial standard street section and proposed revised design are provided as Attachment C.
The roadway will continue to include north and south single travel lanes, on street bike lanes, and off-street multi -purpose trails. However, the current design's 102 -foot right-of- way width will be reduced to an 82 -foot -wide right-of-way through modified dimensions for the various road elements.
The reduction is achieved by reducing the width of the travel lanes and on -street bike lanes and replacing the median with a narrower central turning lane. Behind the curb, each side of the right-of-way will have a 10 -foot -wide landscaped parkway, and an 8 -foot -wide Multi -use -II path. A 10 -foot wide Public Utility and Street tree planting easement is located behind the path on each side of the street, outside the right of way. Future buildings are required to be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the property line, which is aligned with the back edge of the multi -use path.
The design of the new section has been extensively reviewed by Public Works Engineering staff and the Fire Department, who both support the proposed design as meeting all 3 necessary standards. The modified section is proposed to better serve future development on both sides of Foxenwood Lane, particularly the future retail and office development on the east, by including multimodal features that accommodate both vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Additionally, the narrower paved right -of way section will reduce the City's long-term maintenance costs compared to the original street design.
Planned Development Permit
The applicant is proposing an approximately 101,450 -square -foot mini -warehouse facility located on approximately five acres within the PD/M-1/PF-A zone. Twelve buildings will incorporate 704 storage units and a 1,450 square -foot office at the entry to the facility. The units will range from 25 -square -feet to 360 -square -feet, with the majority being 100 to 200 - square -feet in size.
The facility would be accessed from Foxenwood Lane, with five prospective customer parking spaces and a `turn -around" provided before the front entry gate. Other than this entry area, the site will be enclosed with seven -foot -tall decorative wrought iron fencing and the perimeter buildings. The Fire Department has reviewed and supports the interior drive aisles design, which incorporates a 29.5 -foot wide outer aisle to accommodate fire apparatus, allowing adequate fire access to all units.
The proposed design conforms to the Specific Plan design requirements by using overlapping building forms varying parapet heights and incorporating tower -like elements all to create visual interest on all public facing sides of the structure by avoiding long expanses of blank uninterrupted walls.
The building exteriors will consist of architectural metal panels with galvalume metal trim, and anodized aluminum color storefront and window trim. The office and entry area will incorporate awning features and a masonry wainscot at the building base. Upper -level windows at both the entry and the tower element at the project's southeast corner provide views of areas designed to appear as hallways and unit doors, but which are actually inaccessible faux architectural elements to add interest and articulation. The tallest building heights are 25 -feet, with the lowest portions at 12 -feet height.
The applicant provides more than the minimum 15 percent landscape area required by the Specific Plan. Proposed landscaping would be located at the Foxenwood Lane entrance, along the Union Valley Parkway frontage, and along the east perimeter of the facility to help reduce views of the storage buildings and serve as a buffer to the future development on the remaining 3 -acres of PD/M-1/PF-A zoned property. The facility will be open 7 days a week, with office hours Monday through Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The office will include daily facility management and offer moving supplies such as boxes, moving blankets and tarps, tape, tiedowns, labels, and dollies. Gated access will be operational for clients between 6:00 am — 9:00 pm every day.
Rather than incorporate a residential caretaker unit which is discouraged on Airport property by the Federal Aviation Administration, this facility will rely on security technology for off -hour monitoring, including a security code for the gate, security sensors at 4 perimeter access points, exterior lighting, and complete exterior video monitoring by employees in the office and a remote monitoring firm afterhours.
In addition to the five customer parking spaces required adjacent to the office, the Municipal Code requires one parking space for every ten storage cubicles, provided as loading zones dispersed throughout the complex. With 704 storage units proposed, 71 parking spaces are required. Through the Planned Development Permit, reduced parking requirements may be approved on a case -by -case basis to allow flexibility for development in order to achieve superior design and community benefit.
The applicant is requesting a reduction citing trip generation rates for mini warehouse development from the Institute of Traffic Engineers. Based on that data and the size of this facility, as few as 11 parking spaces would be sufficient to serve the anticipated number of customers during the busiest times of day. The project proposes to provide 47 spaces (or one space for every 15 units) for the benefit and convenience of their future customers. The Planning Commission and staff support this proposed reduction, as it is similar to reductions approved for other recent mini -warehouse projects in the City, where there have been no reports of parking problems. The Planned Development Permit is provided as Attachment D of this report, with the concept plans provided as Attachment E.
Alternative(s)
The Council may act on each of the two Specific Plan Amendment components and the Planned Development Permit independently, as neither is dependent on approval of the other.
Environmental Review
A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) had been certified for the 2021 Specific Plan amendment, as a supplement to the Programmatic EIR (State Clearinghouse [SCH] No. 2005051172) certified by the City in June 2007 for the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan. Considering the adequacy of the previously adopted SEIR, staff has concluded that in accordance with the provisions of CEQA section 15162 the project was adequately covered in the previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 202007005) and no further environmental review is necessary.
Fiscal Considerations
If approved, the additional land use proposed through the specific plan amendment has the potential to lead to a bulk retail development with increased sales tax revenue for the City. The proposed street section amendment would narrow (thereby reduce) the improvements, reducing maintenance costs to the City. The Planned Development Permit approval would allow the development of the mini -warehouse facility, and upon its completion, the collection of taxes.
Impact to the Community
5 The Specific Plan Amendments and Planned Development Permit will facilitate the first development under the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan, in a location that will serve both the southern Santa Maria and Orcutt community areas.

PROJECT NAME Santa Maria Airport Foxenwood Mini -Warehouse Facility APPLICANT/OWNER G3, LLC / Santa Maria Public Airport District ADDRESS/LOCATION Northwest Corner Highway 135 And Union Valley Parkway DESCRIPTION Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0017) for a 101,450 -square -foot Mini -Warehouse Facility on an 5 -acre site within a 28.4 -acre PD/M- 1/PF-A (Planned Development/Light Manufacturing/Public Facilities) Zone District of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan.
FINDINGS
The City Council hereby approves the following project in accordance with the application submitted and hereby makes the required findings in accordance with Sections 12-35.105 and 12-35.203 of the Municipal Code, including the following:
A. That the project meets the vision, intent, and requirements of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan and the General Plan because the use is one of the uses anticipated for the PD/M-1/PF-A zone of the Specific Plan and designed to conform to the Specific Plan policies and standards; B. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate the use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate to properly adapt such use with the land and uses in the vicinity, as the project site is approximately five acres of the total 8.4 acres of the PD/M-1/PF-A designated property, leaving approximately 3.4 acres of site for future development;
C. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use, because the project site is within the area of the adopted Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan, and accesses Foxenwood Lane which will provide for the integration into the infrastructure, circulation, and service network of the City to ensure this project site and the surrounding area have adequate traffic circulation;
D. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting properties, as the project site and adjacent sites are vacant parcels, and the five -acre project site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed use. The proposed landscaping Attachment D
and site improvements are sited and designed to adequately adapt the project to the surrounding land uses, and the project is designed to conform with the policies and development standards of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan;
E. That the establishment, maintenance and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development review is sought will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such use and will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, because the project is a low intensity mini -warehouse use designed to be compatible with existing and future adjacent land uses through conformance with the policies and development standards of the Specific Plan. The proposed use is not inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development, because the mini -warehouse use is a use identified for the PD/M-1/PF-A zone of the project site and is designed to conform with the Specific Plan development and design standards;
F. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare;
G. The proposed modification to reduce the amount of required parking for the storage units FROM 1 space for every 10 storage units (71 parking spaces required) TO 1 space for every 15 storage units (47 parking spaces required) is justified by the analysis using the Institute of Traffic Engineers trip generation rates for the mini -storage use, and the project is otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code and Specific Plan;
H. The project includes superior design elements, including varying wall planes and roof heights, tower like elements, decorative fencing, stone wainscot, perimeter landscape, that together mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modification(s) on the surrounding area;
The proposed modification(s) are essential to the design of the project as the reduced parking requirement reduces the amount of paved area, providing a better balance of building to paved site;
J. The proposed modification(s) have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (a) through (c) of Section 12-35.203 of the Municipal Code, as the requested ratio of one parking space for every 15 storage units is not nearly as low of a parking ratio that could be argued by the results of the parking analysis, but will still provide adequate parking for storage unit customers; and

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MARIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT FOR A MINI -WAREHOUSE FACILITY WITHIN A PD/M-
1/PF-A (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/LIGHT
MANUFACTURING/PUBLIC FACILITIES) ZONE DISTRICT OF
THE SANTA MARIA AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN,
LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF ORCUTT
EXPRESSWAY (HIGHWAY 135) AND UNION VALLEY PARKWAY
(PD2022-0017).
WHEREAS, the applicant, G3, LLC, initiated a Planned Development Permit application for a mini -warehouse development within the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan's (the "Specific Plan") PD/LI/PF-A zone, herein referred to as the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Maria held a duly noticed public meeting on December 6, 2023, to review the Planned Development Permit; and
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2023, with a 3-0-2-0 vote, the Planning Commission made its recommendation by motion that the City Council approve the proposed Planned Development permit as conditioned; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on the Planned Development Permit by the Santa Maria City Council on January 16, 2024; and WHEREAS, the Santa Maria City Council made no modification of the proposed Planned Development Permit which had been previously considered by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Maria has reviewed the mini - warehouse Planned Development Permit project in accordance with the application submitted and hereby makes the required findings in accordance with Section 12-35.203 of the Municipal Code, including the following:
A. That the project meets the vision, intent, and requirements of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan and the General Plan because the use is one of the uses anticipated for the PD/M-1/PF-A zone of the Specific Plan and designed to conform to the Specific Plan policies and standards; B. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate the use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate to properly adapt such use with the land and uses in the vicinity, as the project site is approximately five acres of the total 8.4 acres of the PD/M-1/PF-A designated property, leaving approximately 3.4 acres of site for future development;
C. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use, because the project site is within the area of the adopted Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan, and accesses Foxenwood Lane which will provide for the integration into the infrastructure, circulation, and service network of the City to ensure this project site and the surrounding area have adequate traffic circulation;
D. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting properties, as the project site and adjacent sites are vacant parcels, and the five -acre project site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed use. The proposed landscaping and site improvements are sited and designed to adequately adapt the project to the surrounding land uses, and the project is designed to conform with the policies and development standards of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan;
E. That the establishment, maintenance and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development review is sought will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such use and will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, because the project is a low intensity mini -warehouse use designed to be compatible with existing and future adjacent land uses through conformance with the policies and development standards of the Specific Plan. The proposed use is not inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development, because the mini -warehouse use is a use identified for the PD/M-1/PF-A zone of the project site and is designed to conform with the Specific Plan development and design standards;
F. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare;
G. The proposed modification to reduce the amount of required parking for the storage units FROM 1 space for every 10 storage units (71 parking spaces required) TO 1 space for every 15 storage units (47 parking spaces required) is justified by the analysis using the Institute of Traffic Engineers trip generation rates for the mini -storage use, and the project is otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code and Specific Plan;
H. The project includes superior design elements, including varying wall planes and roof heights, tower like elements, decorative fencing, stone wainscot, perimeter landscape, that together mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modification(s) on the surrounding area;
The proposed modification(s) are essential to the design of the project as the reduced parking requirement reduces the amount of paved area, providing a better balance of building to paved site;
J. The proposed modification(s) have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (a) through (c) of Section 12-35.203 of the Municipal Code, as the requested ratio of one parking space for every 15 storage units is not nearly as low of a parking ratio that could be argued by the results of the parking analysis, but will still provide adequate parking for storage unit customers; and
K. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) had been certified for the 2021 Specific Plan amendment, as a supplement to the Programmatic EIR (State Clearinghouse [SCH] No. 2005051172) certified by the City in June 2007 for the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan. Considering the adequacy of the previously adopted SEIR, staff has concluded that in accordance with the provisions of CEQA section 15162:
• There are no substantial changes which have occurred in respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken. • There is no new information regarding potential significant effects that have come to light in the review of the proposed project; and • The project does not involve any new significant environmental effects not otherwise addressed in the previously adopted SEIR and mitigation monitoring program.
Therefore, the project was adequately covered in the previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 202007005) and no further environmental review is necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
2. The City Council hereby approves the Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0017) for a 101,450-square-foot-Mini-Wharehouse Facility on a five acre site within a PD/M-1/PF-A (Planned Development/Light Manufacturing/Public Facilities) Zone District of the Santa Maria Airport Business Park Specific Plan, as set forth on Attachment D of the Council Agenda Report dated January 16, 2024, incorporated herein by reference.
3. The Assistant City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the Assistant City Clerk shall consult with the City Manager and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Assistant City Manager / Director of Community Development Chuen Wu
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Sales and Disposition Agreement between the City of Santa Maria and Burt Fugate/Burt E.
Fugate Trust for the Cook Street Mixed -Use Apartment Project Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving a Sales and Disposition Agreement between the City of Santa Maria and Brett Fugate / Burt E. Fugate Trust, which includes the sale of surplus land located at the northeast corner of Cook and McClelland Streets.
Environmental Notice: The adoption of the Sales and Disposition Agreement is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a Sales and Disposition Agreement (SDA) between the City of Santa Maria and Burt Fugate / Burt E. Fugate Trust, which includes the sale of surplus land located at the northeast corner of Cook and McClelland Streets, an approximately 11,000 square -foot portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 125-320-009.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has continually identified the revitalization and redevelopment of Santa Maria's downtown area (Downtown) as a goal and priority. The City has adopted plans to establish a vision for the downtown area and developed regulations and guidelines to facilitate its redevelopment, including an update to the Downtown Specific Plan in 2015 and the adoption of the Downtown Streetscape Plan in 2019.
In accordance with the Surplus Lands Act of California (Government Code Section 54220), on October 18, 2022, the City Council declared an 11,000 -square -foot strip of city -owned land located on the north side of Cook Street, adjacent to the parking structure, as surplus land (City Council Resolution 2022-116). During the City Council deliberations, it was noted that declaring this portion of City property surplus land would facilitate the future development of the Cook Street Mixed -Use Apartment project, which in turn would
further the Downtown Specific Plan revitalization goals by adding to the downtown pedestrian activity and vibrancy.
DISCUSSION:
The Cook Street Apartments Mixed -Use Downtown Permit (DT2022-0017) was approved by the Planning Commission on November 15, 2023. The Downtown Permit entitles the applicant to construct a 52,500 -square -foot, six -story mixed -use building consisting of 104 residential units, and approximately 2,100 -square -feet of ground floor commercial space.
The approved Downtown Permit project plans for the Cook Street project are provided as Attachment A to this report. The Downtown Permit was approved contingent upon entering into an SDA with the City for the completed transfer of the 11,000 square -foot surplus City property, and for the use of the City's parking structure to meet the project's required parking.
City executive staff has been in regular discussions with Burt Fugate to discuss the terms and conditions of the SDA. Through these negotiations, and with the encouragement of the City, the applicant incorporated the ground floor commercial floor space. The Downtown permit as approved by the Planning Commission also incorporates interior and exterior amenities for the future tenants and the public transit improvements adjacent to the project on Cook Street into the.
The SDA (Attachment B) will serve as the agreement for the transfer and development of the City -owned parcel, and for the use of the City owned parking garage to satisfy the number of required parking spaces for the Cook Street Mixed -use Apartment project. The SDA also cites the incentive the City has agreed to provide to the applicant, which consists of waiving all building permit fees by 50%.
Alternative
The City Council can choose to not accept the SDA as drafted and provide further direction to staff.
Fiscal Considerations
The City would be providing significant financial incentives as part of the SDA. These incentives are intended to assist the development of this downtown project on underutilized parcels that would facilitate the City's vision of a vibrant downtown area that includes new housing, retail commercial, restaurants, and other tax -generating and employment producing opportunities. The implementation of the Fugate project would have far-reaching, long-term economic benefits through the creation of a new downtown residential use bringing added residents to the Downtown core.
Impact to the Community
The approval of the SDA is part of an implementation plan for the revitalization of the Downtown. The completion of this project would add more housing with a ground floor retail component in the Downtown. It would also continue the momentum of redevelopment in the Downtown, including on privately -owned land. 2 ATTACHMENTS

COOK STREET APARTMENTS
TOWN CENTER EAST
SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed (mixed use) six -story iconic "Cook Street Apartment Building" will be located at the northeast corner of Cook Street and South McClelland Street, Town Center East in The City of Santa Maria, California.
The mixed -use building includes 2076(4-) square feet of commercial/retail area and 104 residential apartments including eight (8) studios, sixty-eight (68) one -bedroom units and twenty-eight (28) two -bedroom units. The main floor commercial/retail area provides for a manager's and administration offices and restrooms. The residential entry lobby includes a community center, meeting room, mail room and laundry room. There is also an onsite enclosed trash and recycle room with drop chutes from the five floors above.
Floor three will have a community room with access to a roof garden terrace over the Porta Cochere. Floors four and five will also have a dedicated community room. The 6th floor provides a multipurpose room, a community kitchen, exercise room and access to a rooftop terrace to take in the spectacular views of the City of Santa Maria and distant mountains and valley beyond.
Site Design:
The site design concept provides for transitioning focal points using building mass articulation and a variety of building materials, landscaping planters with decorative pots to highlight the building entries and breakdown the building massing. The rear pedestrian and emergency access courtyard will provide for a buffer between the existing public parking structure and will have a variety of passive areas using interlocking pavers and grass-crete to bring the garden court surface alive. The Cook Street, orientation fronts on the metro bus stop parking with a pedestrian access sidewalk that provides for a covered bus stop structure and outdoor seating.
Pedestrians have access to the town center and surrounding area with the existing crosswalks at Cook Street and South McClelland Street as well as via the existing public parking structure and existing upper level pedestrian bridges.
Proposed parking for the Cook Street Apartment Building will be provided in the existing public parking structure and pedestrian access will be provided on the ground floor and via two pedestrian bridges proposed on the third level of the apartment building and existing parking structure. Parking will be controlled through a combination of signage, a vehicle tag registration program with property management enforcement.
The enclosed six bin trash and recycle room is located off of the public street and allows for pickup access via the Porta Cochere entry drive next to the three (3) short term and delivery parking spaces at the main commercial entry lobby.
Building Design and Theme:
This project is in the "Town Center District" of the City of Santa Maria's specific downtown plan. The prominent neighboring buildings are an eclectic group of building styles, and the Spanish/Colonial building theme is the most appropriate choice for this six -story signature building next to The Town Center Mall and close to the historic Santa Maria City Hall. The Spanish Colonial theme and articulation is carefully elevated on all four sides of the building using stucco and cast stone detailing to compliment and breakdown the six -story building massing into interesting multiple levels in the human scale. The use of unique design elements such as a variety of archways, multiple balcony types, awnings, and contrasting color provides for a strong building theme emphasizing strong queuing to the two main entries. The proposed building massing provides for the appearance of multiple buildings united into an elegant and interesting building composition.
At the comer of Cook Street and South McClelland Street is one of the two main entries. The building breaks back at a 45 -degree angle with an open Porta Cochere entry to give the building mass relief from the corner and highlights the Porta Cochere and roof top cupula that celebrates the building's main entry below and is the crowning element for the Cook Street Apartment building as seen from various city corridors in the downtown core.
Multiple balconies, terraces, roof decks and awnings allow careful attention employing a variety of details including significant building projections and recesses for material transitions and contrast highlighted by shade and shadows.
The variety of building materials and contrasting colors allows for significant articulation of the building massing.
The use of sloping Spanish roof tiles in a variety of projecting roof elements allows for a significant variety of wall and roof planes and an interesting, varied roof line.
The main entry and balcony doors with complimenting window systems, wrought iron handrails, awnings and decorative light fixtures assists in unifying the Spanish Colonial theme and brings the building massing down to an interesting human scale.
Screening:
All HVAC and mechanical equipment will be screened and out of site on the roof.
Landscape and Hardscape:
The landscape and hardscape will incorporate urban style concepts including interlocking pavers, grass-crete raised planter and decorative pottery to establish the look and feel of intimate plazas and private settings in the open space between the Cook Street Apartments and the existing public parking structure as well as along the Cook Street frontage ground level between the sidewalk and bus stop parking. There will also be landscaping and tree wells to enhance the building and provide for inviting human scale entries to into the building.
Artwork:
We are proposing sculpture, wall art and colorful pottery along the main level corridor next to the open plaza between The Cook Street Apartments building and the public parking structure as well as along the Cook Street frontage.
Signage:
Little to no signage will be needed other than at the two main entries off Cook Street and between access court to the existing parking structure.
Building Height:
The project meets the 70' maximum building height except for the proposed architectural non -conditioned projections needed for the two elevator penthouses, and important decorative cupulas and roof projections that are intended to stay under a maximum of 75'.
The projections are very important elements that break up the buildings vertical massing and roofline. The downtown specific plan suggests creative and unique architectural thematic detailing. The rooftop projections compliment the building architecture and massing and pay homage to the tower feature at City Hall as well as other tower features in the nearby community.

J. The CITY seeks, through this Agreement to promote the most efficient use of resources; to derive the benefits to the CITY and the public in general described in this Agreement, and to establish clear and precise guidance for DEVELOPER and any potential future buyers, developers or users of the Project as established under the Entitlements; so that the DEVELOPER and any potential future buyers, builders or occupants of the Project will have a clear and complete understanding of the Entitlement responsibilities that are applicable to, and necessary for, building out the Project.
K. Assurances to the DEVELOPER that DEVELOPER may proceed with the Project in accordance with specified regulations will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic cost of development.
L. The CITY has published a notice of intention to consider adopting this Agreement pursuant to Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091 and duly held a public hearing.
M. The CITY finds that:

FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 16, 2024
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Assistant City Manager Chuen Wu
SUBJECT: Receive a Status Update on the Mobile Home Model Lease Program Description:
The City Council will hear a status update on the mobile home model lease program, following direction provided by the City Council at its June 7, 2022, meeting.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a presentation providing a status update on the mobile home model lease program.
BACKGROUND:
In 1999, the City Council was asked to adopt a rent control ordinance. The City Council declined and determined that the City should facilitate the creation of a 10 -year Mobile Home Model Lease, which would serve as another lease agreement option between a park owner and resident, with terms on annual rent adjustments. The 1999 Mobile Home Model Lease was voluntary and consisted of four paragraphs that the park owners agreed to include in long-term leases. In 2009, the City facilitated the negotiation of the 2009 Mobile Home Model Lease, which had a 10 -year term. The 2009 Mobile Home Model Lease was based on the lease proposals of Casa Grande, Rancho Buena Vista, and Casa Del Rio leases.
In 2018, the City Council directed the City Manager and City Attorney to facilitate a new 10 -year Mobile Home Model Lease. At that time, the park residents, through various representatives, requested that the Mobile Home Model Lease be enforceable, as opposed to voluntary. The 2019 Agreement for Enforcement of Mobile Home Model Lease 2020 was adopted by the City Council on November 19, 2019 (Attachment A).
On June 7, 2022, the City Council met to discuss the Mobile Home Model Lease 2020 Agreement and to receive public comment. Following City Council discussion and public input, on the motion, direction was given to staff to work with community members and
park owners to examine enhancing the Model Lease Agreement to see if there was room for improvement and to look at alternatives.
DISCUSSION:
Following City Council direction, City staff held several meetings with community members and park owners to identify areas of improvement and to look for alternatives:
• 9/22/2022 Meeting with City, resident, and park owner representatives • 11/29/2022 Meeting with City and resident representatives • 2/22/2023 Meeting with City and resident representatives • 6/20/2023 Meeting with City and park owner representatives • 7/21/2023 Meeting with City and resident representatives • 11/14/2023 Meeting with City, resident, and park owner representatives Through these series of meetings, resident and park owner representatives shared their input on the existing Mobile Home Model Lease and identified and discussed four key issues: 1) participation; 2) outreach; 3) enforcement; and 4) financial terms. There is some agreement within these key issues, but also fundamental differences between the two stakeholder groups' positions, with park owners opposed to any form of rent stabilization, and residents still advocating for such an option.
A December 13, 2023, letter from Bruce Stanton details the position of the resident group (Attachment B), and a November 27, 2023, letter from Lisa Toke details the position of the park owners group (Attachment C). It is noted that these letters do not represent the view of all mobile home residents, nor all mobile home park owners, but reflect the positions of those stakeholders that have been engaged in the discussions over the past year.
Participation
As of the date of the preparation of this report, six mobile home parks are signed and participating, four are committed, and five remain not participating. The six mobile home parks represent 69 percent of the total mobile home park spaces. The addition of the four committed parks would raise this percentage to 85 percent. Newlove and Ranchwood Mobile Home Parks have signed the agreement electronically.

Outreach
There is general agreement between the stakeholder groups that outreach is needed. In discussions on outreach, the City has committed to provide assistance in efforts to disseminate information and to educate the public about the Mobile Home Model Lease program. This may include in -person and virtual meetings, letters to mobile home park residents, posting of information on the City's website, and translation of letters and educational materials (but not contractual materials) in Spanish. The City will also help in the formation of an "outreach committee" that will provide guidance and direction on ongoing outreach efforts.
Enforcement
The Mobile Home Model Lease is enforced by civil remedy. To date, the City has received one complaint, which has been sufficiently remedied. Both stakeholder groups agree to make information available, in outreach communications, on how a homeowner can make a complaint to the City regarding possible violations of the Mobile Home Model Lease program. Both groups also agree to an amendment to Paragraph 2.02 of the Enforcement Agreement that would require the Mobile Home Model Lease to be offered to new buyers at the same time as any other lease agreement. The current language provides a 60 -day time frame. Both groups agree that park owners report to the City, annually, how many residents have signed the Mobile Home Model Lease. There was also discussion to create a volunteer committee of resident and park owner representatives to address any issues prior to a complaint filed with the City, to minimize City staff time.
Financial Terms
The stakeholder groups did not discuss the financial terms of the Mobile Home Model Lease; the park owners group emphasizes that they have entered into a binding agreement and have complied with its terms. The groups did discuss the potential of mobile home parks voluntarily providing financial assistance programs that could aid residents experiencing hardship.
Alternative(s)
The City Council may provide additional direction to staff, with recognition of the terms in the existing enforcement agreement of Mobile Home Model Lease 2020.
Fiscal Considerations
The City's commitment to assist in outreach efforts would require time and associated costs of City staff.
Impact to the Community
The 2020 Mobile Home Model Lease program provides another lease option for prospective mobile home residents. Improved efforts in participation, outreach, and enforcement will help prospective residents, including seniors. 3 ATTACHMENTS

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM ANY ORDINANCE, RULE, REGULATION,
OR INITIATIVE MEASURE ADOPTED BY ANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY
WHICH ESTABLISHES A MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT A LANDLORD MAY CHARGE A TENANT FOR RENT.
This Lease Agreement ("Lease") is made and executed this day of , 20 , by and between
("Owner"), and , jointly and severally
("Resident").
1. Leased Premises. Owner hereby leases to Resident, and Resident hereby leases from Owner, that certain Space ("Space"), situated in ("Park").
2. Term. The initial term of this Lease shall be five (5) or ten (10) years, commencing , 20 , and terminating
, 20 . In the event that the term of this Lease commences on any day other than the first day of the month, the rent for the partial month shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month, and the prorated amount shall be paid promptly by Resident to Owner.
3. Rent and Security Deposit.
A. Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent. Resident shall pay to Owner as rent, without deduction, setoff, prior notice or demand, the sum of $ ("Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent"). Said Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent shall be due and payable on the first day of each month of the Lease term. The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent under this Lease shall be the amount due as rent as of the last date of the previous lease, together with the annual Consumer Price Index adjustment as set forth below.
The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent may be adjusted on each anniversary of the Lease according to the following formula: The adjustment shall be calculated based upon one hundred (100) percent of the "United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers," as published for the B and C Class of City for the Western States index ("Index"). The annual adjustment shall be no less than two and one half percent (2.5%) of the previous rent, and no more than six percent (6.0%) of the previous rent, regardless of the amount of the Index, if more than six (6) percent. Owner's failure to notify Resident in a timely manner of an adjustment to the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent shall not preclude Owner from notifying Resident thereof at a later date and collecting the increase in the rent from the date of the notice to Resident. All rent shall be paid at the Park office, or such other place as Owner may designate in writing.
Model Lease 2019
An additional adjustment shall be made each January 1 during the term of the Lease, to reflect 1/12 of 1/ [insert number of spaces in park] of any government mandated or non -government mandated capital expenditures assessed against or applicable to the Park or the Space, including, but not limited to, any increase in real estate taxes in excess of two percent (2.0%) over the prior year's real estate taxes, all government mandated capital expenditures, capital expenditures required by the Park's insurance company and/or lender, capital expenditures over Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) that are not government mandated but are approved by the residents, and capital expenditures equal to or under Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) that are not government mandated, whether approved by the residents or not.
Capital expenditures shall be characterized by Owner's accountant in accordance with sound accounting principles and the Internal Revenue Code, and shall not include items of repair or maintenance. "Capital Expenditure" means any capital outlay or project with a useful life of at least one (1) year that provides a betterment or addition to the Park, including the replacement of a component part of an asset by an improved or superior asset resulting in a more productive, efficient and longer -lived property. "Betterment" is considered capital outlay when it is "significant," i.e., generally twenty percent (20.0%) or greater of the market value of the component part of the asset. "Maintenance" means any expenditure for repair or alteration to a facility, which neither materially adds to the value of the facility, nor appreciably prolongs its life. Maintenance expenses shall not be passed through or charged back to Resident.
Those Capital Expenditures deemed necessary by Owner that are not mandated by a governmental agency and cost over Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) shall only have the balance over Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) charged back to Resident if the Capital Expenditure was approved by a majority vote of the residents (one vote per space) before it was charged back. Should a majority of the residents not approve a Capital Expenditure costing over Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), Resident shall pay as additional monthly rent during the useful life of the Capital Expenditure an amount equal to 1/12 of 1/ [insert number of spaces in park] of the first Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) of the cost of the Capital Expenditure's annual depreciation, calculated using a straight line method of depreciation as determined by Owner's accountant. Except for Capital Expenditures approved by a majority of the residents, only one (1) non -government mandated Capital Expenditure may be passed through to the residents in any calendar year.
As used herein, "real estate tax" shall include, but not be limited to, all assessments, whether regular or special, and all other items, including, but not limited to, sewer charges reflected on a real estate tax bill, or similar bill, prepared by the Santa Barbara County Tax Assessor.
In addition to the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent or Adjusted Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent, Resident shall pay vehicle and recreational vehicle storage charges by separate agreement, if facilities for such storage are provided by Owner.
2 Model Lease 2019
B. Security Deposit. Upon initial occupancy in the Park, at Owner's option, Resident shall deposit with Owner the sum of one (1) month's rent as a security deposit for the performance by Resident of the provisions of this Lease. If Resident defaults on the Lease, Owner may use the security deposit, or any portion thereof, to cure the default or compensate Owner for any damage sustained as a result of the default.
Resident shall, immediately upon demand, pay to Owner a sum equal to the portion of the security deposit used by Owner as provided in this paragraph, so as to maintain the security deposit in the sum initially deposited with Owner. If Resident is not, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, in default, Owner shall return the security deposit to Resident. Owner's obligation with respect to the security deposit is that of a debtor and not a trustee. Owner may maintain the security deposit separate and apart from Owner's general funds, or may co -mingle the security deposit with Owner's general and other funds. Owner shall not be required to pay Resident interest on the security deposit. If Resident pays all rent, utilities and reasonable service charges owing to Owner within five (5) days of the date such amounts are due for any consecutive twelve (12) month period, or upon resale of the mobile home, whichever is earlier, and makes a written request for return of the security deposit, the security deposit shall be returned to Resident within thirty (30) days following the end of the twelve (12) month period, or the date of resale of the mobile home.
4. Utilities.
[list those utilities that are included in rent and/or paid to the park] Resident shall contract with and pay directly to the applicable providers the costs of all other utilities required by Resident. If Resident fails to pay any utility costs and such failure results in a lien being placed on Owner's property, the amount owing shall be added to Resident's monthly statement, as additional monthly rent, and shall be paid by Resident upon receipt thereof. Resident shall contact the appropriate providers to commence service. Owner shall not be liable for, and Resident shall not be entitled to, any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of any failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repair, strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes of any nature, any force majeure, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Owner. Owner shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to any failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities, with the exception of willful misconduct or gross negligence of Owner. Resident shall not connect, except through existing electrical outlets, natural gas or water pipes on the Space, any apparatus or device for the purpose of using electricity, natural gas or water.
5. Maintenance. Resident shall keep and maintain the Space, and every part thereof, in first class repair and condition. The Park may charge a reasonable fee, which shall be additional rent, for services relating to the maintenance of the Space in the event that Resident fails to maintain it in accordance with the Park's Rules and Regulations and the other Park documents. The Park may charge the fee only after it has notified Resident in writing of such failure and Resident has not complied within 3 Model Lease 2019
fourteen (14) calendar days. The written notice shall state the specific condition to be corrected, and an estimate of the fee to be charged if Resident does not correct the condition and the Park or its agents do so.
6. Late Charges. Resident acknowledges that late payment by Resident to Owner of the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent or Adjusted Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent will cause Owner to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and the late charges that may be imposed on Owner by the terms of any encumbrance and/or note secured by any encumbrance covering the Space. Therefore, if any payment due from Resident is not received by Owner within five (5) calendar days of its due date, Resident shall pay to Owner an additional sum of [insert flat amount or percentage of overdue payment] as a late charge, which shall be additional monthly rent. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Owner will incur by reason of late payment by Resident, and that acceptance of any late payment or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Resident's default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent Owner from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Owner. Additionally, there will be a $ [insert amount] handling charge for all checks dishonored by Resident's bank for any reason.
7. Default and Owner's Remedies. Resident shall be in default and in breach of this Lease if Resident does not pay the monthly rent when the same becomes due, or does not pay any other charge for which Resident is liable when the same becomes due, or if Resident fails to cure a breach of any other term of this Lease, including the documents incorporated herein, after receipt of notice from Owner of the nature of the breach. Upon default, Owner shall have all remedies available under this Lease and the then -applicable California law. Such remedies include, but are not limited to, the filing of a complaint for unlawful detainer, which will go to trial within twenty (20) days of the Park's filing of a request to set for trial, and which may be followed by an eviction by the Sheriffs Department within five (5) calendar days of entry of judgment and issuance of a writ of possession. Judgment will include all past due rent, utilities and other charges, holdover rent, utilities and other charges, and the Park's attorney's fees and costs as ordered by the court
8. Owner's Lien. The Park may assert a lien on Resident's mobile home, if any, pursuant to Civil Code Section 798.38, as it may be revised from time to time.
9. Abandonment Prohibited. Resident shall not abandon the Space at any time during the term of this Lease. Abandonment is defined as a failure to occupy the Space, and a failure to pay rent on the Space for at least sixty (60) days, without giving written notice to Owner of an intention not to occupy the Space for such a period. Should Resident abandon the Space, Resident shall not be relieved of any of the obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligation to make timely rent payments. 4 Model Lease 2019
10. Owner's Right of Entry. Resident shall permit Owner, or its authorized agents, to enter upon the Space for the purposes listed in Civil Code Section 798.26. To the extent possible, such entry shall not be in a manner or at a time that would unreasonably interfere with Resident's quiet enjoyment of the Space. Owner may enter Resident's mobile home or enclosed accessory structure without Resident's prior written consent in case of an emergency or when Resident has abandoned the mobile home or accessory structure.
11. Aqe Restrictions and [delete the foregoing if not a senior park] Prohibited Uses. The Park is for seniors only. The age restrictions applicable to all residents are stated in the Park's Rules and Regulations. [delete the foregoing two sentences if not a senior park]
Resident shall not use or permit the Space, or any part thereof, to be used for any purpose other than a residence for the persons named herein, all of whom must comply with all duties and obligations imposed upon Resident hereunder respecting the use and occupancy of the Park and the Space. No other persons may reside at the Space without the prior written permission of Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Written permission is required from Owner for guests visiting longer than twenty (20) consecutive days or a total of thirty (30) days in a calendar year, and such guests may be charged a guest fee.
In order to comply with Department of Housing and Community Development requirements, Resident must provide the Park with a copy of the most recent registration on his or her mobile home.
12. Indemnification. Resident hereby waives all claims against Owner for any damage or injury to Resident or Resident's property occurring on the Space or in the Park at any time arising by reason of any cause other than the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Owner or its employees. Resident hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Owner harmless from liability for Resident's failure to properly repair and maintain the mobile home and the Space, or the negligence of Resident, any person residing with Resident, or Resident's guests. Resident shall pay immediately upon written demand from Owner for any damage to the Space or the Park caused by Resident, any person residing with Resident, or Resident's guests.
13. Insurance. Resident understands and hereby acknowledges that Owner does not provide insurance for damage to or loss of Resident's mobile home, accessory structures, household goods, furnishings or other personal property. Resident must obtain such insurance in an amount equal to the value of those items. Such insurance shall include, but not be limited to, liability coverage of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for bodily injury and property damage occurring on the Space as a result of the negligence of Resident, any person residing with Resident, or Resident's guests. Resident shall be solely liable for Resident's failure to maintain such insurance.
5 Model tease 2019
14. Attorney's Fees. In the event of any dispute arising out of or in any way related to this Lease, including the interpretation or enforcement thereof, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to reimbursement for its actual attorney's fees, if reasonable, and all other costs of such dispute actually and necessarily incurred, including fees and costs incurred. This agreement is made for the benefit of the Owner, Resident, and by extension the City of Santa Maria. The City may enforce any provisions provided herein as an express third party beneficiary of this agreement.
15. Waiver by Owner. The waiver by Owner, or any failure of Owner to take action for breach of any term, covenant or condition in this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition, or subsequent breach thereof, or any term, covenant or condition herein. The subsequent acceptance of rent by Owner shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Resident of any term, covenant or condition in the Lease, other than the failure of Resident to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Owner's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of accepting such rent.
16. Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at the monthly rental as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified so far as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of rent due for such period of holding over may be altered in accordance with the terms of the Mobile home Residency Law, Civil Code Section 798, et seq. ("Mobile home Residency Law").
17. Sale, Increase upon Sale or Transfer and Subletting. Resident may sell Resident's mobile home at any time pursuant to the rights and obligations of Resident and Owner under California law. Resident must, however, give Owner sixty (60) days' written notice of Resident's intent to vacate his or her tenancy and allow his or her mobile home to remain in the Park. One purpose of the notice is to enable the Park to schedule and perform an inspection upon sale pursuant to Civil Code Section 798.73.5. If a prospective buyer of the mobile home intends for the mobile home to remain in the Park, said prospective buyer must (1) complete an application for residency; (2) be approved for residency by Owner, including being in compliance with the Park's age restrictions, as stated at Paragraph 11 above and in the Park's Rules and Regulations [delete after "Owner" if not a senior park]; (3) execute a lease agreement; and (4) execute and deliver to Owner copies of the documents listed at Paragraph 23 below, all of which are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Upon any sale or transfer of Resident's mobile home to any person other than an immediate family member, defined as Resident's parents or children, the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent or Adjusted Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Rent may be increased by up to seven and one half percent (7.5%) but in no event shall it exceed seven and one half percent (7.5%). An adjustment on sale may only be made once every five (5) years, regardless of the number of sales which occur during that time frame, if this lease is for a term of more than five years. The rent will not be 6 Model Least 2019
increased upon any transfer to Resident's immediate family members, but such persons must meet the residency requirements if they wish to reside in the Park, and the rent will be increased when such persons sell the mobile home to a person who is not an immediate family member. All other terms of the lease agreement between the Park and the buyer shall not differ substantially from the terms of this Lease. [Insert whether subletting is allowed only as required by Civil Code Section 798.23.5 or under additional circumstances]
18. Responsibility of Owner. In addition to the utilities specified above as provided by Owner, if any, Resident shall enjoy for so long as this Lease shall remain in effect and Resident shall not be in default hereof, the non-exclusive use of the common areas of the Park, including, without limitation, all streets, drives and non -restricted parking areas, all recreational facilities, buildings, pools (except as prohibited by law), and all conveniences. [revise as applicable] Resident's use of all such services and facilities shall be limited and restricted as specified in this Lease and by the Park's Rules and Regulations as legally adopted from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, Owner agrees to provide and maintain these common areas in good working order and condition, and to continue such services and facilities without addition, alteration, depletion of services, equipment or physical improvements for the period of Resident's occupancy of the Space, except to the extent that Owner is prevented from doing so by good cause, accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances of any nature, force majeure, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Owner.
19. Notice of Changes to Rules and Regulations, Etc. The Park's Rules and Regulations, the other Park documents, and the Park's maintenance standards, services, equipment and physical improvements may be changed from time to time as provided by the Mobile home Residency Law. Management shall meet and consult with the residents upon written request, either individually, with duly elected representatives, or collectively, on the following matters: (a) amendments to Rules and Regulations; (b) maintenance standards regarding physical improvements in the Park; and (c) additions to or alterations or deletions of services, equipment, or physical improvements. Any collective meeting shall be conducted only after notice thereof has been given to all requesting residents ten (10) calendar days prior to the date set for the meeting.
20. Subordination. This Lease is subordinated to all current encumbrances on the Park, and at the option of a lender or proposed lender of Owner, it shall be subordinated to future encumbrances placed on the Park by Owner. Resident agrees to execute any instrument or document necessary to effect any such subordination within five (5) business days of request by Owner.
7 Model Lease 2010
21. Transfer of Owner's Interest. In the event that Owner transfers its interest in the Park, or any portion thereof, Owner shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder accruing after the date of such transfer, and such obligations shall be assumed by the transferee, provided that Owner shall not transfer said interest unless the transferee is reasonably capable of discharging Owner's obligations hereunder.
22. Management of the Park. Owner shall be represented by management and/or its other authorized agents, who shall be vested with all legal right and authority to act on behalf of Owner, and to enforce on behalf of Owner this Lease and the documents incorporated into the Lease, unless said right and authority have been specifically reserved to Owner. Management and/or Owner's other authorized agents' decisions shall be final. The term "management," as used in the Lease and the documents incorporated into the Lease, shall mean Owner, the Park manager(s), and/or Owner's other authorized agents.
23. Incorporated Documents. The following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, are incorporated herein by this reference, and Resident acknowledges receipt of copies thereof:

SANTA MARIA MOBILEHOME HOMEOWNERS'
STATUS REPORT AND PROPOSAL MOVING FORWARD
After many months of stakeholder meetings with City Staff which have discussed the following issues, Homeowners herein make the following status report re: the Model Lease Program.
First and foremost, Homeowners continue to emphasize and seek recognition of the ultimate goal of these discussions as follows:
To provide protection to all Santa Maria mobilehome residents presently living in a mostly unregulated rental market, where the 2020 Model Lease program has proven to be ineffective to protect homeowner equity and maintain affordable mobilehome housing.
To achieve this over -arching goal, Homeowners have identified, and the stakeholder discussions have proceeded based upon discussion of, four (4) "Issue Areas". Each one in turn has a goal which should be recognized and used to drive and fulfill that issue.
Homeowners are pleased City Staff has committed time to moderate meetings of the stakeholders to discuss these issues. Homeowners view the City's continuing role as critical to this process, and thus far Mr. Wu has done an excellent job to facilitate. We are thankful for the time that Staff has devoted thus far, and are hopeful that more productive discussions lie ahead in the very near future to make positive change. Homeowners desire a specific agenda for any future meetings, and request that a "dashboard" of each Issue Areas and possible action items be created as the stakeholders work through and discuss each of them.
The following "Issue Areas" have been used for discussion thus far:
1. Participation
Goal: To obtain maximum participation from as many park owners as possible.
There is no disagreement that to date only 68% of the mobilehome spaces within the City are located within parks participating in the program. The actual number of signed participants is estimated at 2%; an indication that the Program is either unknown, not being offered, and/or deemed by Homeowners not to be their best option.
Attachment B
Park owners indicate support for increased participation, and have attempted to contact and engage the non -participating parks. Some park owners were and still are non -communicative, or difficult or even impossible to reach. At the most recent joint stakeholders meeting it was represented that 4 more parks would be signing onto any amended Enforcement Agreement once finalized. This represents another 15% of spaces within the City, which would increase participation to about 83%. Homeowners have not yet seen anything in writing to confirm this fact, but for now will presume for sake of argument that shall occur.
In order to achieve this important goal of participation, homeowners propose:
• Park owners talk about "park participation" without addressing the corollary issue of "resident participation" within those parks. The over -arching goal should not be forgotten; achieving maximum park participation has as its goal maximum resident participation in the Program. The subject of "Participation" should thus include not only "park participation", but also maximum penetration for resident participation as well. Park participation is irrelevant if there is no incentive in the terms of the Model Lease for it to be selected.
• The Model Lease should thus become the "Primary" document to be offered, both to all current homeowners in every park, and to all prospective purchasers as to be detailed in the amended Enforcement Agreement. Any alternative lease or rental agreement offered as an option must include a provision to be initialed by the homeowner confirming he/she has been offered both options and given the choice of signing either.
2. Outreach
Goal: To engage all homeowners in all parks to make them aware of the existence of, and ability to choose, the Model Lease, so as to create "informed consumers". Many residents in participating parks do not know of its existence, do not understand it, or are confused about the Program.
There is agreement among the stakeholders that Outreach is needed. City participation shall be vital if Outreach is to be meaningful, and succeed, and Park Owners and Homeowners should participate. To this end, the following proposals have been discussed:
a. Advertise Zoom meetings with resident representatives, park representatives and City staff to explain the Program. City's participation lends an "official" character to these sessions. Homeowner and Park Owner representatives can also participate in the presentation and in any Q & A. Park owners indicate this is acceptable, provided the number of meetings is reasonable and content is limited to discussion of the Program. Homeowners agree. b. Education to local realtors, agents, brokers and dealers/salespersons. Homeowners recommended the following:
-Joint letter to them from City, homeowners and park owners, including a brochure. -Meet with local broker/realtors and dealers/salespersons to discuss and for Q and A. -2-
Attachment B
Park owners feel inviting these professionals to attend the Zoom meetings is sufficient. If this becomes controversial and Park Owners do not wish to take the additional time for at least one meeting, Homeowners are fine meeting with such persons alone, along with City Staff. c. Create a letter summarizing the Program to be drafted by the City with input from both Park Owners and Homeowners and mailed to each homeowner by the City. The letter should identify a contact person or refer to the Zoom meeting schedule re: any questions. Subject to agreement on the content of such a letter, the stakeholders appear to be in agreement. d. Letter posted on City website; City creates a Program information page with parties' assistance, based upon the mailed summary letter, and posts any updated information here.
Again subject to each side having input into content, this appears to be agreeable. e. Translation to Spanish of all Outreach documents; Homeowners proposed that City engage a qualified professional to translate; Park Owner must provide the translated documents to any existing or prospective homeowner upon request. While Park Owners agree the Outreach documents can be translated, they state it is unacceptable for the contractual documents to be translated; i.e. the leases themselves. Further discussion is required here, as Homeowners are concerned that if a resident cannot understand the document and is burdened with providing their own translation, there is no meaningful opportunity to participate. f. Park Owners post City's Program information letter in each clubhouse. This seems to be agreeable to both sides.
In order to move these items forward, Homeowners request:
• Formation of an "Outreach Committee" to draft and develop these Outreach Plan components. This should include outreach to residents in parks already participating in the Model Lease; i.e. providing a new window for them to sign it if desired. • Outreach tools or documentation should include provisions for side -by -side comparison of Model Lease vs other offered rental agreement options. • Clarify the options & timing available to non -Model Lease participating residents in participating parks to accept the Model Lease.
• Clarify the options available to residents of soon to be participating parks. • Insist on Spanish translations for all Outreach documents Organizational support and grant funding shall be sought by homeowners to assist with any Outreach costs.

3. Enforcement
Goal: Ensure compliance by adopting proper enforcement and verification procedures. a. Homeowners propose Para. 2.02 of the Enforcement Agreement be amended to require the Model Lease to be offered to new buyers at same time as any other lease or rental agreement, prior to close of escrow. Allowing 60 days from date of purchase for the Model Lease to be offered to a new buyer is incompatible with Civil Code 798.75 (a), which requires that a buyer agree to or sign a rental agreement before escrow closes. Park Owners are agreeable to this amendment in concept. Homeowners' attorney will supply draft language to Park Owners' attorney for consideration prior to the next stakeholder meeting. b. Each park owner annually reports to City how many spaces have signed the model Lease. Park Owners agree to this.
c. The Agreement should be recorded to ensure successor park owners have notice of it.
Park owners will not agree to this, but will agree to an amended provision in the Enforcement Agreement requiring that notice of the Program must be provided to successor park owners.
Homeowners agree to consider such language.
-Homeowners proposed an annual CPI benchmark % to be set by City each year, which City would report to each park owner annually so that there is uniform application of the CPI annual adjustment percentage among all participating parks. Park Owners will not agree to this.
Homeowners shall instead propose that any notice of rent increase given to a Model Lease participant must include within it the numerical basis for the CPI calculation. -Information made available in Outreach communications re: how a homeowner can make a complaint re: possible breach of the Model Lease. This is agreeable by both parties. -Create a volunteer committee of resident and park owner representatives to meet periodically to discuss the Program and address any issues or complaints before same are communicated to the City, so as to minimize City staff time. The Park Owners are willing to consider.
Homeowners suggest that parameters of same be discussed at next stakeholder meeting.
4. Financial (Economic) Terms/Protections to Achieve Homeowner Signature Original Stated Goal: Adequately protect homeowners from large rent increases and maintain affordable housing, while providing park owners with a fair return.
Homeowners proposed revisions to the Program financial terms in order to make it more attractive to residents in the participating parks, since few have chosen the Model Lease option.
There was no intent to re -negotiate all terms per say, but rather to create a more viable and attractive Program. Homeowners offered to table this Issue pending discussion of Issues 1-3.
Park Owners state it should be permanently tabled, and that there will be no re -negotiation of any financial terms.
-4-
Attachment B
During the most recent stakeholders meeting, some Park Owners emphasized that they have or could put into place subsidy programs to assist residents who cannot afford the rent.
Homeowners would like to explore this concept in much more detail while simultaneously exploring other financial term revisions that might help meet the "Original Stated Goal" above, and propose:
• Homeowners propose the addition of a financial assistance provision to the Program that would assist low to very low-income park residents, as suggested by Park Owners themselves. There are existing program models that can be considered, including MHET or the City of Sunnyvale MOU provision. Park Owners state they do not wish to displace anyone, and including such a subsidy provision in the Agreement can help achieve this.
• Not all Homeowners have reached "low or very low-income" status. In order to help prevent that from happening, the Homeowners believe that short of an RSO, there must be opportunities to modify the Model Lease program in ways that will protect Homeowner equity, maintain affordable Mobilehome housing and still provide Park owners a fair return. In the meantime, without a satisfactorily improved Model Lease Program, Homeowners feel obligated to continue encouraging the City of Santa Maria to adopt an RSO, effective on the expiration date of current leases and Enforcement Agreements.
In sum, Homeowners are committed to continue good faith discussions and efforts to achieve the over -arching goal stated above, and are ready and willing to work with the City to achieve that goal with or without the participation of all Park owners. Homeowners are available to meet at the City's earliest convenience to create a "dashboard" and begin working on implementing the above -described items.

Thank you again for your time and efforts at our November 14, 2023 all -hands meeting, and for the minutes you sent thereafter.
More detailed responses by the participating, or soon -to -be -participating, park owners to each of the proposals we discussed at the meeting, in the order raised in Bruce Stanton's August 15, 2023 letter, are as follows:
1. Participation
a. Proposal: City to consider adoption of rent control ordinance ("RCO") that would only apply to those parks that refuse to participate in the Model Lease Program ("Program").
Response: Strongly opposed to the adoption of an RCO as to any park in the City. In addition, it should be noted that participation in the Program will be at almost 85% once the four additional parks that have agreed to sign the Enforcement Agreement do so. And we are working informally to persuade additional parks to participate.
