• Plant drought -tolerant plants and trees.
• Replace grass or turf with water -wise plants.
• Recycle indoor water to use on plants.
• Refrain from watering landscapes for 48 hours after rainfall. • Use a broom to clean driveways, patios, and sidewalks, instead of a hose. • Water outdoor landscapes in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler (before 12:00 p.m. and after 4:00 p.m.).

On an ongoing basis, the following tips can also be implemented indoors:

Indoor Conservation Tips
• Install water -saving devices, such as low -flow showerheads, high -efficiency toilets, and kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators.

■ Reduce showers by two minutes and save five gallons of water. ■ Turn water off while brushing teeth and save three gallons of water. ■ Fix leaky faucets and save up to 20 gallons of water per day. • Wash a full load of laundry (no partial loads) and save 15 to 50 gallons per load.

When funding is available, the State of California offers water rebates for turf replacements and toilet upgrades, and that information is posted to the City website.

SUBJECT: Proclamation Proclaiming May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Municipal Clerks Week
Description:

The City Council will present a proclamation recognizing the Office of the Municipal Clerk, the oldest among public servants, a link between the citizens, the local governing bodies, and government agencies at other levels.

No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager, all administrative departments, and the public, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information.

Municipal and Deputy Clerks continually strive to enhance their administrative expertise by actively participating in educational programs, seminars, workshops, and annual meetings hosted by state, provincial, county, and professional organizations.

Given the diverse responsibilities of the Clerk, a comprehensive understanding of law, procedures, administration, and interpersonal relations is essential. Therefore, Clerks are dedicated to pursuing ongoing education and professional networking opportunities to strengthen their role as integral members of the municipal team.

SUBJECT: Proclamation Proclaiming May 3 through May 9, 2026, as "Compost Awareness Week"
The City Council will present a proclamation proclaiming May 3 through 9, 2026, as Compost Awareness Week in the City of Santa Maria.

BACKGROUND:

WHEREAS, A National Day of Prayer has been part of our heritage since it was declared by the First Continental Congress in 1775, and was established into law in 1952, later amended in 1988, affirming the importance of prayer and directing the President to proclaim the first Thursday of May each year as a National Day of Prayer; and WHEREAS, The observance of the National Day of Prayer will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2026, with the theme, "Glorify God among the nations — Seeking Him in all generations," based on 1 Chronicles 16:24; and

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christopher Williams, Chief of Police
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Proclamation Proclaiming May 10 through May 16, 2026, as "National Police Week" and May 13, 2026, as "Peace Officers' Memorial Day" The City Council will present a Proclamation proclaiming the week of May 10th through May 16th, 2026, as "National Police Week" and Wednesday, May 13th, 2026, be declared "Peace Officers' Memorial Day" in the City of Santa Maria.

BACKGROUND:

Every year, the week beginning on Mother's Day is recognized as "National Police Week".

This week is set aside in memory of the men and women in law enforcement agencies across the nation who lost their lives while performing their duties. Since 1995, the Santa Maria Police Officers' Association has coordinated a memorial service and, in cooperation with the Santa Maria Police Department, has invited Northern Santa Barbara County law enforcement agencies, other public entities, and the general public to participate.

DISCUSSION:

In honor of our fallen officers, law enforcement agencies across the State of California will join agencies across the nation in setting aside a time to remember those officers and their contribution to the communities they served. Santa Maria will host a memorial service at the Santa Maria Police Department located at 1111 West Betteravia Road, which will involve the Northern and Southern Santa Barbara County law enforcement agencies. The memorial service is open to other public agencies, as well as the general public.

The purpose of the memorial service has always been to educate the public as to the hazards faced by those sworn to protect them and to create an environment where the public can interact with their police department. Although a formal environment exists, this is an alternative environment, different than what is created during an enforcement stop, or when a member of the public has been victimized. This type of ceremony has proven to generate civic pride and has provided a means for our officers to honor fallen kinsmen.

As part of the lead into National Police Week, a Proclamation has been prepared in recognition of May 10th through May 16th, 2026, as "National Police Week," and proclaiming Wednesday, May 13th, 2026, as "Peace Officers' Memorial Day" in the City

of Santa Maria. Federal law requires the flag be flown at half-staff during this week in honor of law enforcement officers across the country who have died this past year in the performance of their duties.

DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Proclamation Proclaiming May 17 through May 23, 2026, as "National Public Works Week"
The City Council will recognize May 17 through 23, 2026, as "National Public Works Week" in the City of Santa Maria.

BACKGROUND:

In 1960, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed "National Public Works Week" as an annual observance to highlight the essential role of public works in supporting community well-being. Public works professionals maintain and improve vital systems and services that contribute to health, safety, and quality of life.

In the City of Santa Maria, the Public Works and Utilities Departments manage essential services, including:
• Water: Production and delivery of clean water
• Wastewater: Collection and treatment services
• Stormwater: Collection, treatment, and flood control
• Solid Waste: Collection and disposal services
• Infrastructure: Streets, highways, and public transit systems • Facilities: Public buildings and fleet management
Public works professionals across North America celebrate this week annually by engaging in events and activities that promote public awareness and appreciation for their contributions.

DISCUSSION:

The American Public Works Association (APWA) sponsors "National Public Works Week", which will be observed this year from May 17th through 23rd, 2026.

The 2026 theme, "Rooted in Service, Powered by Community," reflects the foundation and partnerships that make public works possible each day:

• Rooted in Service: Public works is grounded in a longstanding commitment to serve residents through reliable infrastructure, responsive operations, and stewardship of public resources. Service is not just a function; it is the foundation of all efforts.
• Powered by Community: The strength of public works comes from the people and partnerships that support it. From residents and local businesses to City leadership and frontline staff, community collaboration fuels innovation, resilience, and continuous improvement.

The Santa Maria City Council has a long history of supporting the public works profession and proudly recognizes the dedication of its public works employees.

2 COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Graciela Reynoso, Chief Human Resources Officer
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Third Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Santa Maria and the Service Employees International Union Local 620
Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Service Employees International Union Local 620
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:

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.

BACKGROUND:

The City and SEIU entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment for the period of February 20, 2024, through December 31, 2025. Since adoption of the MOU, the City and SEIU have executed two prior amendments.

During recent discussions between City staff and SEIU representatives, both parties identified the need for an additional amendment to address a discrepancy in language that authorizes Uniform Allowance payments to certain city employees in Code Enforcement. As a result of our conversations, the parties have reached agreement on a Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding.

Currently, the MOU authorizes payment of Uniform Allowance to certain classifications in Code Enforcement in Article VIII — "Uniforms and Equipment, Section 8.02 (I):

"The City will furnish the Code Compliance Supervisor and each Code Compliance Officer with an initial issue of uniforms consisting of two uniform shirts, two polo shirts, two trousers, one jacket, one utility belt, and the appropriate body armor, and the City agrees to replace normally worn or uniforms that are damaged while in the line of duty, on an ongoing basis as approved by the department head. The Code Compliance Supervisor and Code Compliance Officers will be required to wear the uniform at all times, and they will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of said uniform. The City agrees to provide a pro -rated bi- weekly uniform allowance of $15.38 to the Code Compliance Supervisor and each Code Compliance Officer on a paid status in acknowledgement of the costs incurred for the maintenance, upkeep, and replacement cost of the uniform. The City will furnish the Code Compliance Technician with an initial issue of uniforms consisting of two uniform shirts, two polo shirts, two trousers, and the City agrees to replace normally worn or uniforms that are damaged while in the line of duty, on an ongoing basis as approved by the department head. Employees shall be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of said uniform." The classifications referenced (Code Compliance Supervisor and Code Compliance Officer) were abolished on July 7, 2020, via Resolution 2020-64. To update the language and remedy this discrepancy, the City, in consultation with SEIU, Local 620 wishes to change the outdated titles to the following:
"The City will furnish the Code Enforcement Supervisor and each Code Enforcement Officers with an initial issue of uniforms consisting of two uniform shirts, two polo shirts, two trousers, one jacket, one utility belt, and the appropriate body armor, and the City agrees to replace normally worn or uniforms that are damaged while in the line of duty, on an ongoing basis as approved by the department head. The Code Enforcement Supervisor and Code Enforcement Officers will be required to wear the uniform at all times, and they will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of said uniform. The City agrees to provide a pro -rated bi- weekly uniform allowance of $15.38 to the Code Enforcement Supervisor and each Code Enforcement Officers on a paid status in acknowledgement of the costs incurred for the maintenance, upkeep, and replacement cost of the uniform. The City will furnish the Code Enforcement Technician with an initial issue of uniforms consisting of two uniform shirts, two polo shirts, two trousers, and the City agrees to replace normally worn or uniforms that are damaged while in the line of duty, on an ongoing basis as approved by the department head. Employees shall be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of said uniform." This change will allow for payment to the individuals who were not eligible due to the change in job titles. The change will be retroactive to February 20, 2024, for active employees in the above listed job classifications.

DISCUSSION:

This Third Amendment to the current SEIU MOU is to amend language to the current SEIU MOU 2024-2025, to clean up the job classifications receiving Uniform allowance in the Code Enforcement section and provide clarity in administration of this provision.

Alternative(s)
A decision by the City Council not to approve the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Santa Maria and the Service Employees International Union Local 620, February 20, 2024, through December 31, 2025, will result in an inability to enact payment to the above referenced job classifications for Uniform Allowance.

Fiscal Considerations
The additional fiscal cost of correcting uniform allowance with updated job classifications retroactively to October 2025 is approximately $1,200, with ongoing an cost of approximately $1,600 annually.
2 Impact on the Community
This item is part of our workforce administration of the MOU. Special pay such as Uniform Allowance payments must be authorized by our governing body. Our commitment is to maintaining positive employee -employer relations and retaining a well -staffed, qualified workforce, who in turn will continue to support the City's operational needs.

Employees who have not actually held status in a lower classification shall be allowed to first demote to a vacant Citywide position (Phase I) in an equal or lower classification (salary range), or second to a Citywide position held by a City (new hire) probationary employee (Phase II) in such lower class for which they are qualified but may not bump regular City employees already in the lower classification.
(MOU 12-20-11)

Section 4.05 Standby
This section shall NOT be applicable to part-time (PT32) employees.

On occasions when an employee is called back and completes his/her assignment and leaves work, and is then called back again, s/he will not receive another minimum if the return is within the original minimum.

D. An employee may exchange (trade) all or any portion of a standby duty assignment in a manner consistent with departmental policy, provided that the replacement is a qualified employee. To assure that replacements are qualified employees, it is required that all standby duty exchanges follow procedures set forth in the Department's Operating Policies and Procedures. Outstanding standby duty exchange paybacks are the responsibility of the individuals involved. Standby duty exchanges are not considered "hours worked" and therefore, do not have to be paid back.

1. "Traded" scheduled standby duty assignments will be "traded" in one -week increments unless otherwise provided for in departmental policy. Employees "trading" scheduled standby duty assignments must have either the appropriate supervisor's or manager's approval and must Page I 15

2. Notice shall be on a written form acceptable to management which: identifies both employees; specifies the name of the eligible unit employee responsible for the duty; and bears the dated signatures of both employees involved in the trade. Unless otherwise authorized by management, under no circumstance may the same scheduled duty assignment under this section be "traded" more than once. And under no circumstance, unless with the approval of the appropriate supervisor or manager, will an employee "trade" all of their assigned scheduled standby duty and not have to be on standby during a six-month period.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Mayor and City Council
Chenin Dow, Community Development Director
May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving Skylight Homes Planned Development Permit Request for a Time Extension
Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving a request for a two-year Time Extension (A2026-0004) to Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006) for People's Self -Help Housing to construct 49 affordable single-family residences with associated private streets and infrastructure improvements in a PD/R-1 (Planned Development/Single-Family Residential) district.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving Permit Amendment A2026-0004 granting a two-year time extension for Planned Development Permit PD2022-0006 located at 3170 Santa Maria Way.

BACKGROUND:

On December 7, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve a Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006) for People's Self -Help Housing's Skylight Homes project consisting of the subdivision of the nine -acre site located at 3170 Santa Maria Way (formerly the Hi -Way Drive -In) and the construction of 49 affordable single- family residences (Attachment B — Vicinity Map). The City Council approved both the Tentative Tract Map (TR2022-0005) and Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006) on January 17, 2023. The previously approved PD2022-0006 plan set (Attachment E), and permit conditions (Attachment F) are attached for reference.

Per Municipal Code Section 12-35.109, approved Planned Development Permits become valid the 15th calendar day after the decision -making body grants the issuance of the permit, in this case February 1, 2023. Section 12-35.501 further states that the Planned Development Permit will no longer be valid if building permits have not been issued within three years of this date. To date, the project has not been constructed, and the subject parcels are vacant.

DISCUSSION:

The applicant has completed the 50 -lot subdivision review process with the City, with the Final Map for Tract 6033 having been recorded in 2025. However, the separate Planned Development permit approval will expire on February 1, 2026. In order for the applicant to have time to obtain building permits and begin construction of the homes, the applicant is requesting to extend the validity of the Skylight Homes Planned Development Permit by two additional years to February 1, 2028. Municipal Code Section 12-35.501(d)(1) authorizes the original decision -making body (in this case, the City Council) to extend the permit to allow additional time for implementation of a project, if the decision -making body finds:
"that there has been adequate due diligence to implement and complete the permit, or that there are significant economic factors that justify additional time." In this case, the applicant cites insufficient financing at this time to construct the project (Attachment C). The applicant is actively pursuing local, state, federal and private funds to finance the construction and development of the project. To date, they have secured $4.04 million from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and $150,000 from the County of Santa Barbara Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA). Additional funding applications for New Market Tax Credits and private equity are currently underway. The applicant submitted building permit applications in December of 2025 and is currently working through the plan check process. As noted earlier, the applicant has completed the subdivision submittal and review effort, achieving the milestone of Final Map recordation on April 8, 2025. Therefore, in light of the time and effort the applicant has expended on this project, staff is recommending that the City Council approve this request to extend the expiration date of the Planned Development Permit to February 1, 2028.

Alternative(s)
The City Council could determine that there has not been adequate due diligence to implement and complete the permit, or that there are no significant economic factors that justify the additional time and the Planned Development Permit would expire. If this were to occur, should the applicant wish to move forward with the project in the future, they would be required to repeat the entitlement process from the beginning.

Environmental Review
The project was adequately covered in a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for People's Self -Help Housing General Plan Land Use and Zone Amendment (GPZ2021-0001) and there is no substantial evidence in the record that the project, as mitigated, may have a significant effect on the environment. There is no substantial evidence in the whole record before the City Council supporting a fair argument that the project as described in the MND will produce the conditions as provided in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines under which a subsequent Negative Declaration must be drafted and distributed for public review. No further environmental review is required.
2 Fiscal Considerations
A time extension of PD2022-0006 will not create any immediate fiscal impacts for the City.

Over the long term, the development of Skylight Homes will generate increased property tax revenue.

Impact on the Community
Granting the two-year time extension allows the Planned Development Permit to remain active and allows for the completion of 49 affordable single-family homes available to the residents of the City.

APPROVING PERMIT AMENDMENT A2026-0004 GRANTING A

TWO-YEAR TIME EXTENSION FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT PD2022-0006 LOCATED AT 3170 SANTA MARIA WAY
WHEREAS, People's Self -Help Housing applied for a Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006) on June 8, 2022, to construct 49 affordable single-family residences with associated private streets and infrastructure improvements on a 8.89 - acre site; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Maria held a public meeting on December 7, 2022, to review the Planned Development Permit; and WHEREAS, on December 7, 2022, a 5-0 vote, the Planning Commission made its recommendation by motion that the City Council approve the proposed Planned Development permit as conditioned, with additional provisions regarding eucalyptus tree maintenance and the elimination of a proposed pedestrian access at Dian Drive, which have been included as conditions of the Planned Development Permit approval; and WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on the Planned Development Permit by the Santa Maria City Council on January 17, 2023; 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 adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this proposed project, with the earlier approval of the General Plan Land Use Amendment and Rezoning of the property, on December 21, 2021, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq., as amended; and
WHEREAS, at the January 17, 2023, public hearing, the City Council of the City of Santa Maria considered and relied on the Planning Commission's recommendations to approve the Planned Development Permit; and

Attachment A
Family Residential development (PD/R-1). The project site has been previously approved for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for a housing development of the same design as this project.

B. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate said 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 because the project is designed to comply with the City of Santa Maria Municipal Code standards for the PD/R-1 zone, including but not limited to parking, landscaping, setbacks, building height, and vehicular access. The site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed residential use, and the construction of the single-family residential development would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity, which includes a similar land use pattern of lower density residential development.

The traffic study determined that the existing area intersections operate within acceptable LOS ranges. The same determination was also made for the existing plus project conditions and cumulative project conditions with no changes to the LOS at the area intersections requiring mitigation to meet the City's acceptable LOS requirements.

Sight distances were reviewed by ATE at the proposed Santa Maria Way driveway entrance and include 550 feet looking north and 1,000 feet looking south, which are both adequate for the posted speeds of 45 Miles Per Hour (MPH) heading northbound and 50 MPH heading southbound on the secondary arterial project frontage. It was noted in the ATE study that the sight distance for drivers looking to the south from the roadway connection is somewhat obscured by a mailbox, signs, overhanging trees, and a row of oleander shrubs located along the Del Cielo Mobile Estates development south of the site. Staff has included in the Permit (Condition of Approval #2) a requirement that the sight distance visibility issue be cleaned up prior to issuance of a building permit. The City's Public Works Department reviewed this study and determined that no further analysis to traffic LOS, access, circulation, or sight distances are required.

Attachment A
presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact and are exempt from further review.

D. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting property as the construction of the single-family residential development and the establishment of the residential use would be self -sustained by providing adequate on -site parking, including a two -car garage and driveway space for two vehicles in an area of the City that has established residential development of a similar density and scale.

E. That the establishment, maintenance, and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development permit 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 project. In addition, it will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development. The construction of the residential project and the establishment of such use would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity. The project would provide adequate space for setbacks, parking, and landscaping to ensure no nuisances would be created by the establishment of the project. The conditions of approval and development standards required for this project alleviate any potentially adverse impacts that could result from the proposed use. Therefore, the project would be compatible with the adjoining land uses and would not be more obnoxious or detrimental to the health of the public than any of the uses established at the project area, or any of the uses listed in the PD/R-1 section of the Municipal Code.

F. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

G. The proposed modification(s) are otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code, and applicable Specific Plans. No modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

H. The project includes superior design elements that mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modification(s) on the surrounding area.

The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

The proposed modification(s) are essential to the design of the project. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

Page 3 of 5 ends

Attachment A
J. The proposed modification(s) have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (G) through (I) of the findings above. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code, and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

K. That the environmental impacts of the project were adequately reviewed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the People's Self Help Housing General Plan Land Use and Zone Amendment (GPZ2021-0001 ), and there was no substantial evidence in the record that the project, as mitigated, may have a significant effect on the environment. There is no substantial evidence in the whole record before the City Council supporting a fair argument that the project as described in the MND will produce the conditions as provided in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines under which a subsequent Negative Declaration must be drafted and distributed for public review. No further environmental review is required.

WHEREAS, the applicant, Lauren Nichols, representing People's Self -Help Housing, has applied for a Time Extension for the approved Planned Development Permit (A2026-0004); and
WHEREAS, the Planned Development Permit Amendment Time Extension request was considered by the Santa Maria City Council on May 5, 2026; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that competent evidence provided by the applicant and included in the project record substantiates that the applicant has demonstrated adequate due diligence to implement and complete the permit and that there are significant economic factors that justify the addition of time to the period of validity, per Santa Maria Municipal Code Section 12-35.501(d)(1). The applicant cites insufficient financing at this time to construct the project. The applicant is actively pursuing local, state, federal and private funds to finance the construction and development of the project. They have secured $4.04 million from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and $150,000 from the County of Santa Barbara Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA).

Review of a Permit Amendment (A2026-0004) to Planned
Development Permit (PD2022-0006) to allow a two-year time extension for People's Self -Help Housing to allow for the construction of 49 affordable single-family residences with associated private streets and infrastructure improvements in a PD/R-1 (Planned Development/ Single -Family Residential) district.

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 12-35.501 and 12-35.203 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code, including the following:

A. That the City Council finds that competent evidence provided by the applicant and included in the project record substantiates that the applicant has demonstrated adequate due diligence to implement and complete the permit and that there are significant economic factors that justify the addition of time to the period of validity, per Santa Maria Municipal Code Section 12-35.501(d)(1). The applicant cites insufficient financing at this time to construct the project. The applicant is actively pursuing local, state, federal and private funds to finance the construction and development of the project. They have secured $4.04 million from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and $150,000 from the County of Santa Barbara Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA).

Additional funding applications for New Market Tax Credits and private equity are currently underway. The applicant submitted building permit applications in December of 2025 and is currently working through the plan check process. Lastly, the Final Map was recorded on April 8, 2025. This Amendment to Planned Development Permit PD2022-0011 extends the validity for the permit by two years to February 1, 2028.

B. That the City Council made the necessary Planned Development Permit Findings in accordance with Sections 12-35.105 and 12-35.203 on January 17, 2023, and approved PD2022-0011 (the project) finding the following:
i. That the project meets the vision, intent, and requirements of the City's General Plan. The project would allow for the construction of a single-family residential development which would establish a residential use on a site zoned for Single Family Residential development (PD/R-1). The project site has been previously approved for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for a housing development of the same design as this project. ii . That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate said 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 because the project is designed to comply with the City of Santa Maria Municipal Code standards for the PD/R-1 zone, including but not limited to parking, landscaping, setbacks, building height, and vehicular access. The site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed residential use, and the construction of the single-family residential development would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity, which includes a similar land use pattern of lower density residential development. i ii . That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quality and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use because the proposed construction of the project would not lead to inadequate street and highway conditions. A traffic and circulation study was prepared by Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE) in 2020 for the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change associated with this project. The City of Santa Maria General Plan Circulation Element states that a Level of Service (LOS) Dor better is acceptable for roadway and intersection operations. The traffic study determined that the existing area intersections operate within acceptable LOS ranges. The same determination was also made for the existing plus project conditions and cumulative project conditions with no changes to the LOS at the area intersections requiring mitigation to meet the City's acceptable LOS requirements.

SKYLIGHT HOMES TIME EXTENSION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMENDMENT - 2 -

issuance of a building permit. The City's Public Works Department reviewed this study and determined that no further analysis to traffic LOS, access, circulation, or sight distances are required.

The project is exempt from Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis per the City of Santa Maria Environmental Procedures because the project is 100 percent affordable housing. Any affordable housing project where a minimum of 20 percent of the units are deed restricted for low or very low-income residents are presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact and are exempt from further review.
iv. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting property as the construction of the single-family residential development and the establishment of the residential use would be self -sustained by providing adequate on -site parking, including a two -car garage and driveway space for two vehicles in an area of the City that has established residential development of a similar density and scale.
v. That the establishment, maintenance, and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development permit 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 project. In addition, it will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development.

The construction of the residential project and the establishment of such use would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity. The project would provide adequate space for setbacks, parking, and landscaping to ensure no nuisances would be created by the establishment of the project. The conditions of approval and development standards required for this project alleviate any potentially adverse impacts that could result from the proposed use. Therefore, the project would be compatible with the adjoining land uses and would not be more obnoxious or detrimental to the health of the public than any of the uses established at the project area, or any of the uses listed in the PD/R-1 section of the Municipal Code.
vi. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
vii. The proposed modifications are otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code, and applicable Specific Plans. No modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.
viii. The project includes superior design elements that mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modifications on the surrounding area. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in A2026-0004 MAY 5, 2026

SKYLIGHT HOMES TIME EXTENSION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMENDMENT - 3 -

the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.
ix. The proposed modifications are essential to the design of the project. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.
x. The proposed modifications have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (G) through (I) of the findings above.

The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code, and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.
xi. That the environmental impacts of the project were adequately reviewed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the People's Self Help Housing General Plan Land Use and Zone Amendment (GPZ2021-0001 ), and there was no substantial evidence in the record that the project, as mitigated, may have a significant effect on the environment. There is no substantial evidence in the whole record before the City Council supporting a fair argument that the project as described in the MND will produce the conditions as provided in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines under which a subsequent Negative Declaration must be drafted and distributed for public review. No further environmental review is required.

That the City Council hereby reaffirms the above cited findings of City Council Resolution 2023-11.

D. That the conditions stated in this Permit Amendment (A2026-0004) modify and are in addition to the conditions of Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006), and are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, so that the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting property.

E. The project was adequately covered in a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for People's Self -Help Housing General Plan Land Use and Zone Amendment (GPZ2021-0001). No additional environmental review is required for the subject time extension request.

Stormwater Control Plan Notes
Landscape plans are designed in collaboration with the design approach for meeting the post -construction requirements of the Stormwater Control Plan.

At a minimum, final landscape plans will accomplish all the following:
• Preserve existing native trees, shrubs, and ground cover to the maximum extent possible.
• Landscape design will minimize irrigation and runoff, promote surface infiltration where appropriate, and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can contribute to stormwater pollution. • Where landscaped areas are used to retain or detain stormwater, plants specified are tolerant of saturated soil conditions.
• Pest -resistant plants are preferred, especially adjacent to hardscape. • To ensure successful establishment, plants are selected which are appropriate to site soils, slopes, climate, sun, wind, rain, land use, air movement, ecological consistency, and plant interactions.

Recreation and Parks Department Note
Landscaping within the right-of-way (Public Landscaping) shall be installed concurrently with construction of any roadway modifications or improvements \

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
PLANNING DIVISION • 110 SOUTH PINE STREET ROOM 101 • SANTA MARIA, CA 93458 • 805.925.0951 X 2244 PERMIT NO. PD2022-0006
APPROVAL DATE January 17, 2023
PROJECT NAME Skylight Homes
APPLICANT/OWNER Sheryl Flores, People's Self -Help Housing ADDRESS/LOCATION 3170 Santa Maria Way
DESCRIPTION Review of a Planned Development Permit (PD2022-0006) for People's Self -Help Housing to subdivide an 8.89 -acre site into 50 lots to allow for the construction of 49 affordable single-family residences with associated private streets and infrastructure improvements in a PD/R- 1 (Planned Development/Single-Family Residential) district.

FINDINGS
The City Council hereby approves the following project in accordance with the application submitted and hereby makes the required findings in accordance with Section 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 City's General Plan. The project would allow for the construction of a single-family residential development which would establish a residential use on a site zoned for Single Family Residential development (PD/R-1). The project site has been previously approved for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for a housing development of the same design as this project.

B. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate said 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 because, the project is designed to comply with the City of Santa Maria Municipal Code standards for the PD/R-1 zone, including but not limited to parking, landscaping, setbacks, building height and vehicular access. The site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed residential use, and the construction of the single-family residential development would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity which includes a similar land use pattern of lower density residential development.

ATTACHMENT C

C. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quality and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use because the proposed construction of the project would not lead to inadequate street and highway conditions. A traffic and circulation study was prepared by Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE) in 2020 for the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change associated with this project. The City of Santa Maria General Plan Circulation Element states that a Level of Service (LOS) D or better is acceptable for roadway and intersection operations. The traffic study determined that the existing area intersections operate within acceptable LOS ranges. The same determination was also made for the existing plus project conditions and cumulative project conditions with no changes to the LOS at the area intersections requiring mitigation to meet the City's acceptable LOS requirements.

Sight distances were reviewed by ATE at the proposed Santa Maria Way driveway entrance and include 550' looking north and 1000' feet looking south, which are both adequate for the posted speeds of 45 Miles Per Hour (MPH) heading northbound and 50 MPH heading southbound on the secondary arterial project frontage. It was noted in the ATE study that the sight distance for drivers looking to the south from the roadway connection is somewhat obscured by a mailbox, signs, overhanging trees and a row of oleander shrubs located along the Del Cielo Mobile Estates development south of the site. Staff has included in the Permit (Condition of Approval #2) a requirement that the sight distance visibility issue be cleaned up prior to issuance of a building permit. The City's Public Works Department reviewed this study and determined that no further analysis to traffic LOS, access, circulation or sight distances are required.

The project is exempt from Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis per the City of Santa Maria Environmental Procedures because the project is 100% affordable housing. Any affordable housing project where a minimum of 20% of the units are deed restricted for low or very low income residents are presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact and are exempt from further review.

D. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting property as the construction of the single-family residential development and the establishment of the residential use would be self -sustained by providing adequate on -site parking including a two car garage and driveway space for two vehicles in an area of the City that has established residential development of a similar density and scale.

E. That the establishment, maintenance and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development permit 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 project and will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development because the construction of the residential project and the establishment of such use would adapt with the land and uses in the vicinity. The project would provide adequate space for setbacks, parking and landscaping to PD2022-0006 JANUARY 17, 2023

ensure no nuisances would be created by the establishment of the project. The conditions of approval and development standards required for this project address alleviate any potentially adverse impacts that could result from the proposed use.

Therefore, the project would be compatible with the adjoining land uses and would not be more obnoxious or detrimental to the health of the public than any of the uses established at the project area, or any of the uses listed in the PD/R-1 section of the Municipal Code.

F. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

G. The proposed modification(s) are otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code and applicable Specific Plans. No modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

H. The project includes superior design elements that mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modification(s) on the surrounding area. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

J. The proposed modification(s) have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (G) through (I) of the findings above. The project is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Municipal Code and no modifications to development standards per Section 12-35.202 of the Municipal Code are proposed.

K. That the environmental impacts of the project are adequately reviewed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the People's Self Help Housing General Plan Land Use and Zone Amendment (GPZ2021-0001) and there is no substantial evidence in the record that the project, as mitigated, may have a significant effect on the environment. There is no substantial evidence in the whole record before the City Council supporting a fair argument that the project as described in the MND will produce the conditions as provided in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines under which a subsequent Negative Declaration must be drafted and distributed for public review. No further environmental review is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chenin Dow, Director of Community Development
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions for Final Approval of the Community Development Block Grant Program's Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-27
Description:

The City Council will receive and approve the Community Development Block Grant Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Action Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution approving the Public Services activities and allocations under the Community Development Block Grant Program incorporated in the Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and

4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the necessary documents.

BACKGROUND:

To remain eligible for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the City conduct a public participation process and develop an Annual Action Plan. This plan is part of the broader Five -Year Consolidated Plan, which outlines how the City intends to use CDBG funds each year.

The Block Grants Advisory Committee (BGAC), appointed by the City Council, leads the process through:
• Assessing community needs
• Establishing funding priorities
• Reviewing applications
• Conducting site visits
• Recommending funding allocations
These recommendations form the basis of the drafted Action Plan presented to the City Council for consideration.

DISCUSSION:

The draft Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-27 were introduced at a public hearing during the City Council meeting on April 7, 2026. At that meeting, the Council approved Staff's and BGAC's recommendations (Attachment A).

Alternative(s)
Should the City Council choose not to adopt the draft Action Plan at this time, staff will return with the item at a future meeting, as outlined in the CDBG Citizen Participation Plan. This may delay the City's submission of the plan to HUD and consequently postpone the receipt of funding.

Fiscal Considerations
The approval of this Action Plan will provide approximately $1.4 million annually in federal funding to address critical community needs.

Impact on the Community
The proposed activities and funding allocations will:
• Provide emergency assistance to the unhoused and special needs populations • Support at -risk youth
• Expand opportunities for affordable housing
• Revitalize neighborhoods
• Improve infrastructure and enhance accessibility
