6.4 Architectural Design Guidelines

2. Wood and vinyl fences and gates on Frontages may
be constructed with vertical pickets or lattice with
no more than 3-inch gaps in between. Wrought iron
fences and gates may be made of wrought iron, or
steel bar that faithfully simulates true wrought iron,
with bars with no less than a four-inch space between.

3. Fences built parallel to the frontage between houses or other structures should be set back a minimum
two feet behind the facade line, except walls that
are an integral part of the architecture of the house,
which may be flush with the facade or set back from
it as approved through the Development Plan Review
process (see Figure 6-6).

4. Wood and vinyl fences at interior side and rear
property lines should provide fronts to both sides
of the property line (“good neighbor fencing”), for
example by alternating members from one side of the
fence to the other.

5. Retaining walls within the frontage setback area
- and to the line of the side yard enclosing fence or
wall - may be made of slumpstone block or clad in
materials as specified in these Architectural Design
Guidelines. Retaining walls behind the fence line and
substantially obscured from views from the public
way may be relieved of this requirement.

6. Parking, utilities, trash receptacles and similar service functions and equipment should be screened from
public view by opaque walls or fences meeting the
requirements of this EA1SP.

8. Trash receptacles should be screened from public view by opaque walls or fences meeting the requirements
of these Guidelines and City regulations.

9. Fence and Wall Height:
a. Fences and garden walls within frontage setback
areas may be between 30 inches and 42 inches
high (see Figure 6-6). The frontage setback area is
defined as the front yard area within the Primary
Street setback. For corner lots, the frontage
setback area also includes the area between the
Primary Building, the Side Street property line,
and a distance of fifteen (15) feet behind the
Primary Street facing facade line
b. Rear yard and side yard fences and garden walls
behind the frontage setback area may be up to 6
feet high (see Figure 6-6).
c. Retaining walls along Primary Street and Side
Street frontages may be up to three feet high, as
approved through the Development Plan Review
process (see Section 4.9.3).
d. Parking lots that abut and/or are visible from
street views should be screened by a wall or fence
36” to 48” in height, enhanced with landscaping.

6.4.8 Signage
A. Sign design. The following design criteria should be used in reviewing the design of individual signs. Substantial conformance, as determined by the Director, with each
of the following design criteria is required before a sign permit or Building Permit can be approved.

1. Color. Colors on signs and structural members
may be harmonious with one another and relate
to the dominant colors of the buildings on the site.

Contrasting colors may be utilized if the overall effect of the sign is still compatible with building colors.

2. Design and construction.
a. Except for banners, flags, temporary signs, and
temporary window signs conforming with the
requirements of this section, each sign may be
constructed of permanent materials and may be
permanently attached to the ground, a building,
or another structure by direct attachment to a
rigid wall, frame, or structure.
b. Each permanent sign may be designed by a
professional (e.g., architect, building designer,
landscape architect, interior designer, or
others whose principal business is the design,
manufacture, or sale of signs), or who is capable
of producing professional results.

6. Design Guidelines

6.4 Architectural Design Guidelines
c. Each permanent sign may be constructed by
persons whose principal business is building
construction or a related trade including sign
manufacturing and installation, or others capable
of producing professional results. The intent is
to ensure public safety, achieve signs of careful
construction, with neat and readable copy, and
durability, to reduce maintenance costs and
prevent dilapidation.

3. Materials and structure.
a. Sign materials (including framing and supports)
may be representative of the type and scale
of materials used on the site where the sign is
located. Sign materials may match those used on
the building(s) on site and any other signs on the
site.
b. Signs should not include reflective material.
c. Materials for permanent signs may be durable
and capable of withstanding weathering over the
life of the sign with reasonable maintenance.
d. The size of the structural members (e.g. columns,
crossbeams, and braces) may be proportional to
the sign panel they are supporting.

4. Street address. The Fire Chief or Director may require that a sign include the street address of the site,
where it determines that public safety and emergency
vehicle response would be more effectively served
than if the street address were displayed solely on one or more buildings on the site.

5. Copy design guidelines. The Planning Department
does not regulate the message content (copy) of signs.

However, the following principles of copy design
and layout are identified to enhance the readability
and attractiveness of signs. Copy design and layout
should be reviewed by Planning for consistency with
these principles.
a. Sign copy relates only to the name and/or nature
of the business or commercial center.

6. Design Guidelines
6-32

6.4 Architectural Design Guidelines
b. Copy is conveyed briefly or by logo, symbol, or
other graphic manner to increase the readability
of the sign and thereby enhance the identity of
the business.
c. The area of letters or symbols does not exceed 40
percent of the background area in commercial
districts or 60 percent in residential districts.
d. Freestanding signs contain the street address of
the parcel or the range of addresses for a multitenant center.

6. Sign lighting. Sign lighting may be designed to
minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-ofway and properties. a. External light sources should be directed and
shielded so that they do not produce glare off the
site, on any object other than the sign.
b. Sign lighting should not blink, flash, flutter, or
change light intensity, brightness, or color.
c. Colored lights should not be used at a location or
in a manner so as to be confused or construed as
traffic control devices.
d. Neither the direct nor reflected light from
primary light sources should create hazards for
pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles.
e. For energy conservation, light sources may be
hard-wired fluorescent or compact fluorescent
lamps, or other lighting technology that is of
equal or greater energy efficiency. Incandescent
lamps are prohibited.

B. Sign maintenance.

1. Each sign and supporting hardware, including
temporary signs and awning signs, may be maintained
in good repair and functioning properly at all times.

Any damage to a sign or its illumination, including the failure of illumination may be repaired within 14 days
from the date of damage or failure.

2. A repair to a sign may be of materials and design of equal or better quality as the original sign.

3. When an existing sign is removed or replaced, all
brackets, poles, and other supports that are no longer
required may be removed.

C. Sign Guidelines by Zone. Signs are allowed within the Neighborhood (N), Hallock Center (HC) and Civic District (CD) zones. Each sign may comply with the guidelines
provided in Table 6-1.

EXHIBIT B
General Plan Amendments. City Council approves the following amendments to the 2040 General Plan.

A. The introductory paragraphs under subheading ”Specific Plans” and the description of the “SP-3 East Area 1 Specific Plan” on Page 2-32 of the Land Use Element of the 2040 General Plan is amended as follows (where stricken text denotes deletions, and underlined text additions):
“Specific Plans and Expansion Areas
Specific Plans
A specific plan is a regulatory tool that local governments use to guide development in a localized area and to systematically implement the General Plan.

Specific plans contain detailed development standards, distribution of land uses, infrastructure requirements, and implementation measures for the development of a specific geographic area.

The City requires specific plans for all expansion areas prior to development, except for annexations of minor acreage within areas that are already substantially developed. Details regarding siting, design, infrastructure, provision of open space, and financing are established through the specific plans. Each specific plan must address locations for land uses identified by the Land Use Element, as well as mitigation of environmental impacts and design standards for new development.

As of 2019 2024 the following specific plans have been adopted. The locations of these specific plans are shown in Figure 2-1 (page 2-20). Development regulations for these areas are established within each specific plan as summarized below.

SP-3 East Area 1 Specific Plan. East Area 1 encompasses approximately 501 acres located east of Santa Paula Creek, west of Haun/Orcutt Creeks, south of the Topatopa Mountains, and north of Telegraph Road. At buildout, the Specific Plan anticipates 1,500 2,050 residential units, 25,000 square feet of light industrial, 215,000 10,000 square feet of commercial, and 20.2 8.3 acres of institutional uses.

Public facilities to be provided include a police substation, an elementary school, a high school, and a post-secondary institution/community college. These 8.3 acres are set aside as a site for school facilities for use by the Santa Paula Unified School District. A total of 225.3 acres of open space will also be provided, including agricultural preserve, open space preserve, parks/greenways and public athletic fields.6”
571
65283.00302\42105360.1
B. Footnote 6 on Page 2-32 of the Land Use Element of the 2040 General Plan is amended as follows (where stricken text denotes deletions, and underlined text additions):
“6 East Area 1 Specific Plan, Table 2-1 (January 2015 February 2024)” C. The second to the last paragraph of Subsection 1, Overview, of Section E, Education, on page 6-13 of the Public Services and Utilities Element of the 2040 General Plan is amended as follows (where stricken text denotes deletions, and underlined text additions):
“The East Area 1 Specific Plan identifies a site for a K-8 school centrally located in the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan also designates land in the Civic District for additional high school facilities. The high school site adjoins planned public athletic fields. The East Area 1 Specific Plan identifies a site for a future Santa Paula Unified School District facility centrally located in the Specific Plan area.

Under California law, public school districts are independent of city governments; however, cooperation between school districts and cities is required in the planning, design and construction of new schools, school facilities, major additions to existing school facilities, and recreation and park facilities in the community.” 572

Memorandum
To: David Lauletta, Vice President - Regional Planned Communities Lewis Management Corporation
From: Bravish Mallavarapu, Director and Principal Economist Date: June 30, 2023
Subject: Harvest at Limoneira Projected Fiscal Impacts and Assumptions SRHA Job No.: 1391
This memorandum is an update to the analysis prepared previously in March 2022 presenting the projected fiscal impacts to the City of Santa Paula for Harvest at Limoneira and the assumptions for the projected impacts. Harvest at Limoneira includes the combined annexed areas formerly known as East Area 1 and Santa Paula Gateway Project (East Area 2). The following fiscal analysis is based on the current land use phasing for Harvest at Limoneira and a new 35-acre sports park.

Fiscal Impacts
Table 1 summarizes the projected cumulative fiscal impacts to the City for Harvest at Limoneira. Table 1 also includes estimated net new street maintenance costs; as well as the projected net City benefits when these new obligations are subtracted from the projected surplus for Harvest at Limoneira. Based on the current development agreement, it is assumed that approximately two-thirds of the sports park maintenance costs would be borne by the city with the balance by the School District. Compared to the 2016 study, the study area has undergone a major reallocation of property tax revenues, with the City General Fund share decreasing from 16.06% to 3.84% of the 1% property tax, while a newly created allocation for the Ventura County Fire District now receives 14.44% share of the 1 percent property tax.

Harvest at Limoneira Projected Fiscal Impacts

Harvest at Limoneira General Fund Cumulative Fiscal Impacts. As shown in Panel A of Table 1, a recurring surplus to the City General Fund is projected for all years of development and after buildout of the Harvest at Limoneira project. The Year 1 surplus of about $288,307 increases to the projected surplus of about $1.705 million at buildout in Year 7. The total projected cumulative surpluses over the 7-Year period are about $7.99 million in undiscounted dollars. This updated analysis does not include the property tax revenues foregone by the City General Fund now accruing to the Ventura County Fire District, and therefore, also does not include fire services costs.

Net New City Cumulative City Fiscal Obligations. Panel B of Table 1 presents the City’s projected annual obligations for approximately two-thirds share of operations and maintenance costs for the new sports park in Harvest at Limoneira, the City’s net new obligation for public street maintenance offset by projected state gasoline tax from the project, and net revenues collected by the City from CFD No. I IA-A Special Tax B used for landscape maintenance, tree maintenance, streetlights, and catch basins.

Accounting for the above, City net new obligations are projected at $8,524 in Year 1 and increase to $376,683 at buildout. The total City net new obligations over the 7-Year period are projected at about $2.35 million in undiscounted dollars. This accounts for $834,675 in CFD revenues over this period.

In Year 3, with the City’s approximately two-thirds O&M cost share of the new sports park (or about

23.33 acres), the City’s sports park obligation is estimated at $608,653 for the remainder of the 7-Year period. The total City obligations over the 7-Year period for the sports park are projected at about $3.04 million in 2023 undiscounted dollars. According to the project development agreement, the sports park is the joint responsibility between the City and School District, and therefore the balance one-third of sports park O&M costs are borne by the School District.

Net annual street maintenance costs are estimated at $63,022 in Year 1 and continue to decline over the 7-year period as the State Gas tax increases constantly with population growth, and offsets increasing portions of these street maintenance costs. Gas tax offsets these costs completely after Year

5. Cumulatively, net City obligations for street maintenance over the 7-year period are projected at about $142,196 in undiscounted 2023 dollars.

Net City Cumulative Fiscal Benefit: As shown in Panel C of Table 1, when the Harvest at Limoneira revenue surplus is matched against the City obligations, net City benefits are projected throughout the development-period and at buildout. The lowered share of City General Fund property tax revenue from tax rate area (TRA) reallocations between the City and the Ventura County Fire District since 2016, has the effect of reducing overall property tax revenues relative to projected development-related costs. The net benefits increase from $279,783 in Year 1 to $1.33 million at buildout. The total net City benefit over the 7-year period is projected at $5.64 million in undiscounted dollars.

Ventura County Fire District: As shown in Panel D of Table 1, a large portion of the property tax revenues previously going to the City General Fund prior to the TRA reallocations now accrues to the Ventura County Fire District. These revenues increase from about $575,602 in Year 1 to $2.34 million by Year 7 for a cumulative 7-year total of $10.42 million in undiscounted dollars.

Detailed Fiscal Impacts. Table 2 presents the detailed projected cumulative fiscal impacts to the City General Fund, the new City cumulative fiscal obligations and the net City cumulative fiscal benefit of Harvest at Limoneira.

Harvest at Limoneira Projected Fiscal Impacts

Development Description
Table 3 presents the development description after buildout for Harvest at Limoneira. The phased units, population, non-residential square feet, employment, park acres and road square feet are included in Table 4.

Acres. Harvest at Limoneira includes approximately 632.7 gross acres, with about 547.9 gross acres located in East Area 1 and about 84.9 acres located in the Santa Paula Gateway Project.

Residential Development. As shown in Panel B of Table 3, Harvest at Limoneira includes a total of 2,348 residential units with an estimated population of 7,032 after buildout. East Area 1 includes a total of 2,050 units (1,750 single family units and 300 apartments), while East Area 2 includes a total of 298 units (250 apartments, including 50 active adult units, and 48 townhomes).

Non-Residential Development. Harvest at Limoneira, East Area 2, includes a total of 461,560 square feet, including supermarket and GAFO retail (Area B), 100-room hotel (Area C), and hospital, medical and general office, and an assisted living center (Area D), as shown in Panel C of Table 3. Total employment generated by these uses is estimated at 1,093 after buildout.

Publicly Maintained Infrastructure. As shown in Panel E of Table 3, a total of 674,160 square feet of publicly maintained streets are estimated for the total Harvest at Limoneira project after buildout, with about 81 percent of the new roadways located in East Area 1. About 8.37 acres of neighborhood parks are in East Area 1 after buildout. Also, a 35-acre community sports park is planned in East Area 1, with the City responsible for approximately two-thirds and the School District for the balance one-third O&M costs, according to the project development agreement.

Assessed Valuation and Property Tax After Buildout
Table 5 includes the estimated assessed valuation, General Fund property tax and General Fund property tax in lieu of VLF for Harvest at Limoneira.

Assessed Valuation. Values per unit are provided by the developer. As shown in Panel B of Table 5, residential valuation in East Area 1 is estimated at about $1.35 billion after buildout. Combined with the estimated residential and non-residential valuation in East Area 2 of $309.19 million, total Harvest at Limoneira valuation after buildout is estimated at about $1.54 billion. For East Area 1, when the estimated assessed valuation at project inception of $45.12 million is subtracted from the new overall project valuation, net new valuation (since project inception) is estimated at about $1.31 million. For East Area 2, when the current assessed valuation of $22.25 million, in constant 2023 dollars, from the County Assessor 2020-2021 tax roll is subtracted from the new valuation, net new valuation is estimated at about $286.93 million at project buildout (development projected to commence starting 2025).

Property Tax. Based on the total assessed valuation, the one percent property tax levy is projected at about $16.61 million after buildout. Based on the tax rate area in which the project is located, the City General Fund receives about 3.84 percent of the basic one percent levy for a total of $637,777 after buildout.

Property Tax in Lieu of VLF. As part of the State’s 2004-2005 budget agreement, the State began to allocate property tax revenues to cities and counties to offset the State reduction of VLF. Property tax in lieu of VLF is projected based on the net increase in assessed valuation from the proposed project since inception, which is estimated at the Citywide average of $1,283 per million of new assessed valuation.

Based on this assumption and the project’s net assessed valuation increase, projected property tax in lieu of VLF is projected at about $1.68 million for EA1 and $368,263 for EA2 after buildout for a total of $2.05 million for Harvest at Limoneira.

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council receive an update on recent tenant protection legislation, Senate Bill 567, and provide further direction to staff.

Presented by: Caesar Hernandez, Housing Management Analyst BACKGROUND:

At the February 13, 2024 City Council meeting, Vice Mayor Chavez requested that Staff provide an update on Senate Bill 567 ("SB 567") as it relates to additional tenant protections and the housing affordability crisis, for City Council to consider.

In recent years, State and local governments have responded to high housing costs and low housing inventory by enacting laws that aim to facilitate housing production and affordability and to strengthen tenant protections. A number of local governments across California have enacted “anti-displacement” policies and regulations in an effort to protect residents and preserve existing affordable housing. The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (also known as Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1482 codified at Civil Code Sections 1946.2 and 1947.12, hereafter, the "Act") established statewide just-cause eviction protections and rent stabilization for residential tenants, but it also authorized cities to enact more protective local regulations that supersede state law.

AB 1482's provisions expressly permit an owner to evict a tenant to “substantially remodel” the rental unit. “Substantially remodel” is defined as:
“the replacement or substantial modification of any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical system that requires a permit from a governmental agency, or the abatement of hazardous materials, including lead-based paint, mold, or asbestos, in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, that cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tenant in place and that requires the tenant to vacate the residential real property for at least 30 days” (Civ. Code § 1946.2(b)(2)(D)(ii). Cosmetic improvements alone, including painting, decorating, and minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the residential real property vacated, do not qualify as substantial 592
rehabilitation.”
Loopholes in AB 1482 have led to abuses that leave many covered renters vulnerable to displacement or eviction in instances where an owner terminates a tenancy under the guise of substantially remodeling a unit when the owner has no intent to actually perform a substantial remodel. Without more protective local just cause eviction provisions, “substantial remodel” evictions that do not actually qualify as substantial remodel evictions will result in displacing tenants, some of whom may become homeless. SB 567 amends the Act to curb those abuses of substantial remodel evictions.

Effective April 1, 2024, SB 567 will require an owner who proposed to displace a tenant to substantially remodel or demolish a unit to first provide the tenant with written notice with specified information, including a description of the substantial remodel to be completed and the expected duration of the repairs, or the expected date by which the property will be demolished, and a copy of permits required to undertake the substantial remodel or demolition, as specified.

ANALYSIS:

Since its passage in 2019, the Act and its provisions have protected tenants from unrestrained rent increases and unexpected evictions, but tenants across the state have nevertheless been evicted from their rental units for stated reasons that were in compliance with the Act but were exaggerated or never materialized. SB 567 was passed in October 2023 to strengthen the Act with additional just-cause and noticing requirements, such as meeting minimum occupancy requirements after displacing a tenant for owner move-in and providing proof/copies of building permits obtained for substantial remodeling. The law will take effect April 1, 2024.

Santa Paula residents have been experiencing a housing affordability crisis, which is causing homelessness and displacement of residents. Since April 2020, residential tenants were generally protected from evictions by a variety of temporary COVID-19-related governmental measures, such as: (1) the California Judicial Council’s temporary emergency measures that effectively provided for a moratorium on all evictions; and (2) the State of California’s eviction moratorium (ultimately codified through Assembly Bill 3088 (2020), Senate Bill 91 (2021), and Assembly Bill 81 (2021)). These eviction protections are no longer in place. The City has determined from directly responding to residential tenant complaints, that tenants throughout the City of Santa Paula are experiencing a surge of threats of eviction. In recent months, Staff has been informed of a number of possible evictions occurring due to purported “substantial remodeling” of residential properties where permits have not been sought, or approved, for the work to be undertaken. SB 567 would protect tenants from illegitimate substantial remodel evictions statewide.

The law provides additional tenant protections by requiring landlord's notice of termination of the lease to include all of the following information:

1. A statement informing the tenant of the owner’s intent to demolish the property or substantially remodel the rental unit property.

2. The following statement: “If the substantial remodel of your unit or demolition of the property as described in this notice of termination is not commenced or completed, the owner must offer you the opportunity to re-rent your unit with a rental agreement containing the same terms as your most recent rental agreement with the owner at the 593
rental rate that was in effect at the time you vacated. You must notify the owner within thirty (30) days of receipt of the offer to re-rent of your acceptance or rejection of the offer, and, if accepted, you must reoccupy the unit within thirty (30) days of notifying the owner of your acceptance of the offer.”

3. A description of the substantial remodel to be completed, the approximate expected duration of the substantial remodel, or if the property is to be demolished, the expected date by which the property will be demolished, together with one of the following:
a. A copy of the issued permit or permits required to undertake the substantial remodel or demolition.
b. If the remodel does not require any permit, a copy of the signed contract with the contractor hired by the owner to complete the substantial remodel, that reasonably details the work that will be undertaken to abate the hazardous materials at issue.

4. A notification that if the tenant is interested in reoccupying the rental unit following the substantial remodel, the tenant shall inform the owner of the tenant’s interest in reoccupying the rental unit following the substantial remodel and provide to the owner the tenant’s address, telephone number, and email address.

Because SB 567 applies statewide as of April 1, 2024, no local legislation is required to extend these protections to Santa Paula residents.

COMMITTEE

Agenda Item: 11.B

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 7504 establishing the Ad-hoc Sewer and Water Rate Committee to evaluate and make recommendations regarding City’s sewer and water rates.

2. Appoint two councilmembers to the Sewer and Water Rate Committee.

Presented by: Clete Saunier, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:

The City of Santa Paula has several “standing” and “ad hoc” committees. The Brown Act (Gov. Code, § 5495) and Section 6.4(b) of the 2023 Manual of Procedural Guidelines for the Conduct of City Council and Constituent Body/Commission Meetings (“Council Manual”) authorizes the City Council to establish advisory committees. Standing committees have either some “continuing subject matter jurisdiction” or a meeting schedule fixed by the legislative body’s formal action, whereas the Brown Act open meeting requirements do not apply to “ad hoc” committees. An ad hoc committee consisting solely of less than a quorum of the legislative body, may be established if it does not have some “continuing subject matter jurisdiction,” and does not have a meeting schedule fixed by formal action of a legislative body. Thus, ad hoc committees generally serve only a limited or single purpose, they are not perpetual, and they are dissolved when their specific task is completed.

Adoption of the attached Resolution would formally establish the Sewer and Water Rate Ad Hoc Committee.

ANALYSIS:

The City’s Sewer and Water Rate Ad Hoc Committee (“Committee”) reviews and analyzes the methodology and policies used in setting sewer and water rates. The City will begin exploring setting its sewer and water rates and seeks to establish the Committee to assist in making this determination. The Mayor will be authorized to appoint two members to the Committee. 595
The Committee would have the following responsibilities and tasks:

Review and analysis the methodology and policies used in setting sewer and water rates;
An understanding of the operation and maintenance of the City's sewer and water infrastructure, including the Water Recycling Facility; The review of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds, including the capital needs and debt levels;
The identification of existing and future capital projects and equipment needs; The implementation of the City's sewer rebate program; and The performance of such related duties as the Council may from time-to-time assign.

The Committee would be advisory and may provide periodic reports to the City Council, upon request. The Committee would meet as necessary to work with staff and review the findings of the rate setting consultant.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The Project supports the currently adopted Strategic Plan in achieving the following goals:

Infrastructure, Transportation & Mobility
Goal: Maintain and develop the City’s infrastructure to be safe, sustainable, innovative and cost-efficient.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with the creation of the committee.

PERSONNEL IMPACTS:

Staff liaison for the committee would be Clete Saunier, Public Works Director.

OPTIONS:

As an alternative to Staff's recommendation, City Council may:

1. Decline to approve Staff's recommendation.

2. Provide staff further direction.
