I am an ambitious, results-oriented Global Change Agent with a proven track record across sales, marketing, management, and sustainability, driven by a deep and enduring commitment to Mother Earth, climate action, environmental stewardship, and ocean conservation. My career reflects a deliberate integration of business excellence with purpose—leveraging market
leadership, policy engagement, and sustainability strategy to drive meaningful, measurable impact.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, where I developed a strong
foundation in public policy, governance, and systems thinking.

To further align my professional leadership with environmental responsibility, I earned an exceeds requirements score on my CAPSTONE project while completing a Sustainability
Strategies Certification from Stanford Graduate School of Business, focused on designing and implementing initiatives that transform organizations through environmental, social, and economic value creation. I am also completed the

file:///C:/Users/local_ddavis/Temp/XPgrpwise/6964417FCOSIS_PO100134373614DDF51... 1/12/2026 Packet Page 24 OnePointFive Sustainability Accelerator. These trainings strengthened my ability to embed sustainability into corporate strategy, operations, and culture.

Professionally, I bring more than two decades of leadership experience spanning the private, public, and nonprofit sectors.

At Insulet Corporation, I served as a Territory Manager and Interim District Manager, consistently recognized as a top national performer and leader. Beyond commercial success, I played a pivotal role in advancing sustainability and corporate responsibility initiatives. As Sustainability Team Lead, I contributed to Insulet’s Global Sustainability Report, focusing on waste reduction, DEI, and corporate social responsibility aligned with the company’s three sustainability pillars. I also launched a Global Sustainability Newsletter during Earth Month, elevating environmental awareness and employee
engagement companywide.

As a DEI Global Council Leader and Women in Insulet ERG Co-Chair, I managed global programs, led cross-functional teams, and presented sustainability and culture initiatives to executive leadership, including the CEO and VP of HR. These roles strengthened my ability to guide organizations toward inclusive, values-driven decision-making that supports both people and planet.

My work with SNIP Bus Spay & Neuter Imperative Project
reflects my dedication to environmental balance, animal welfare, and sustainable communities. I work directly with policymakers, legislators, and government officials to advocate for data-driven ordinances that reduce overpopulation, protect ecosystems, and promote long-term environmental
responsibility across California.

Throughout my career—across leadership roles at Medtronic, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi-Aventis, Endo Pharmaceuticals, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car—I have consistently built highperforming teams, negotiated complex stakeholder partnerships, and shortened decision cycles by aligning economic value with ethical responsibility. My ability to communicate complex issues, influence policy, and inspire collaboration enables me to bridge corporate objectives with sustainability outcomes.

My passion for climate change mitigation, environmental protection, and ocean health guides my professional purpose. I am particularly motivated by initiatives that protect biodiversity, promote responsible resource use, and foster climate resilience through education, policy, and corporate accountability.

file:///C:/Users/local_ddavis/Temp/XPgrpwise/6964417FCOSIS_PO100134373614DDF51... 1/12/2026 Packet Page 25 I seek opportunities where I can apply my leadership,
sustainability expertise, and strategic acumen to advance environmental and climate solutions—ensuring a healthier planet for future generations while driving responsible, transformative change. I participated and provided input during multiple meetings for the city of Seaside's Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP).

These skills have prepared me to serve effectively on the Environmental Commission by bringing practical leadership, policy insight, and a collaborative approach to environmental stewardship. I am committed to working with fellow
commissioners, staff, and the community to advance
responsible, sustainable solutions that protect our environment and serve the public good.

As part of the project, the City entered into a Master Services and Subscription Agreement with Chargepoint, Inc., for a term of 5 years. The City recently extended it's agreement with Chargepoint, Inc., for a period of three years. The cost of extending the Master Services and Subscription Agreement for three years, taken from account 100-8310-2073, was $7,560.00. For Fiscal Year 24/25, the City received $7,047.32 from the EV chargers.

The City currently charges $0.26 per kilowatt hour (kWh), with no idle fee. A review of EV charging station rates for the surrounding area shows that other charging stations range from $0.35 per kWh to $0.76 per kWh when differing rate structures are converted to a kWh basis. Most EV charging locations also have some form of idle charge or hourly charge.

Packet Page 40

Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 2
Staff suggest the charging rate be raised to $0.35 per kWh, and adding an idle charge of $2.50 per hour once the vehicle is no longer charging.

FISCAL IMPACT
$7,560.00 will be transferred from the General Fund to Public Works/Engineering, Government Buildings, Subcontracted Work (Account 100-8310-2073), which was used to pay the cost of extending the agreement.

Revenue from the Chargepoint EV chargers is collected in revenue account 100-3551.

The cost of the contract extension will be covered by revenue generated from the EV charging stations, ensuring no net impact to the City's budget.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.G.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: February 5, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

AWARD TWO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $250,000.00 EACH FOR ON-CALL PAVEMENT

MANAGEMENT SUPPORT DESIGN AND INSPECTION
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR PROJECTS TO (1) NICHOLAS
CONSULTING ENGINEERS; AND (2) PAVEMENT ENGINEERING

INCORPORATED

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from Pavement Engineering and inspection firms. Having two firms available allows the City to provide these services in a timely manner.

Individual project task orders will be issued based on the firm’s expertise, workload capacity, services to be performed, schedule requirements, and hourly rates submitted in their proposal. All task orders will be issued based on an agreed-upon, written scope of work, implementation schedule, and maximum fee arrangement negotiated on a project-by-project basis.

Selection of the best qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance. On November 25, 2025, a Request for Proposal was issued and advertised through the City website. In addition, notification emails were sent to firms who expressed interest in providing Geotechnical Engineering Services to the City. Four (4) proposals were received on January 9, 2026. A selection committee, consisting of 4 Packet Page 44

Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 3
staff members from the Public Works Engineering department independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. The following firms submitted proposals:

Firm, Location
Kimley Horn, Monterey, CA
Nicholas Consulting Engineers, Richmond, CA
Pavement Engineering Inc., Concord, CA
Tiger Eye Engineering, Oakland, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division, and would also be made available for use by other City Departments for funded projects. Following a structured evaluation of the proposals, the selection committee determined that Nicholas Consulting Engineers and Pavement Engineering, Inc. were the best qualified firms.

Alternatives
Council could decide not to award these Professional Services Agreements and direct staff to issue requests for proposals for each project individually. However, this alternative is not recommended as there is a significant backlog of funded projects for which outside pavement engineering and inspection firms are needed to augment City staff. Further, having pre-approved, on-call, as-needed firms readily available allow for more efficient and timely delivery of projects as multiple projects can be designed concurrently.

Environmental Determination
The City of Seaside determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fees for Pavement Engineering and Inpsection Services will be based on a project-byproject basis directly charged to individual project budgets. Each project is separately Packet Page 45

Item No. 8.G. Page 3 of 3
approved and budgeted by the Council. The City is under no obligation to expend any funds under these Professional Services Agreements.

Item No.: 8.H.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Melissa Failauga, Human Resources Specialist
Samantha Sakhrani, Human Resources Director/Risk Manager DATE: February 5, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING NEW CLASSIFICATIONS

AND SALARIES FOR A HUMAN RESOURCES ASSISTANT AND

COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST, AND UPDATING THE

CONFIDENTIAL COMPENSATION PLAN AND POSITION

CONTROL LIST

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the modification to the Position Control List and Confidential Classification Plans.

BACKGROUND
The City’s management team regularly evaluates staffing levels and organizational structure to ensure alignment with operational needs and the efficient use of limited financial resources.

Currently, the Human Resources/Risk Management Department is allocated two Human Resources Specialist positions for FY 2025–26, one of which is vacant. To advance Council’s priorities, support a sustainable succession plan, and achieve cost savings within a constrained operating budget, it is recommended to under-fill the vacant Human Resources Specialist position with a Human Resources Assistant classification.

Based on departmental needs and market research, the Human Resources Assistant will be established as a full-time, confidential, non-exempt position with a recommended maximum annual salary of $76,608, receiving benefits as outlined in the Confidential Non-Exempt Employees’ Classification Plan.

Packet Page 50

Item No. 8.H. Page 2 of 2
Additionally, a review of the Communications Specialist job description identified a need for updates to reflect expanded responsibilities under the supervision of the City Manager. It is recommended that this position be reclassified as a confidential, exempt, full-time position with a maximum annual salary of $97,092.00. Given the sensitive nature of the duties, it is further recommended that the position be transitioned from the Seaside City Employees' Association to the Confidential Exempt Employees' Classification Plan.

Consequently, the proposed changes are expected to be budget-neutral and result in net savings for the General Fund during FY 2025-26, ensuring the City maintains its commitment to fiscal sustainability while enhancing operational efficiency.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact to the 25-26 General Fund, as both modifications to the Position Control List are under-filled adjustments, resulting in a cost savings.

BACKGROUND
The Campus Town development is located in northern Seaside. To provide for orderly development of this project, in March 2020 the Seaside City Council adopted the Campus Town Specific Plan. The Specific Plan overrides the City's Zoning Ordinance and provides for a specific development pattern within the project area consisting of approximately 1,485 residential units, 250 hotel rooms, 75 youth hostel beds, 150,000 square feet of retail/dining/entertainment uses, and 50,000 square feet of office/light industrial uses, as well as parks and other amenities. Ground-breaking for the first phase of the project has already occurred and construction is expected to follow shortly.

Chapter 6 of the Specific Plan discusses the implementation of the Specific Plan. In particular, Section 6.3 outlines the process for the review of development applications.

This process differs significantly from the "standard" review processes provided in the Zoning Ordinance. Most significantly, almost all allowed uses within the Specific Plan Packet Page 77

Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 3
are ministerial in nature, which means that there are no public notifications or hearings associated with development applications within the Specific Plan. Instead, the City's Zoning Administrator is supported by a "Peer Reviewer," defined as being a licensed architect doing business within 75 miles of the City of Seaside and appointed by the Zoning Administrator to conduct a secondary review of all development applications.

While staff is supportive of the use of a ministerial process in most circumstances within the Campus Town Specific Plan area, staff also believes that the Peer Review process is unnecessary in certain circumstances. For example, grading permits, encroachment permits, and other site preparation work would not typically benefit from review by an outside architect. Further, in a subdivision, many of the homes are replicated using several model home types. While the initial review of the models would still be subject to Peer Review, it would not be necessary to repeat the Peer Review for every home built using those plans throughout the subdivision. Eliminating Peer Review for those circumstances where there is little for an architect to review would reduce processing time and costs for those applications while maintaining the third-party review for those projects that would benefit from such a review.

Other changes that would be made include:
- Modifying language regarding the posting of decisions in the Agenda for Zoning Administrator Hearings. As Zoning Administrator Hearings have been eliminated, this language has been changed to require the posting of decisions as part of the Planning Commission Agenda.
- Modifying submittal requirements to eliminate submittals of physical material in favor of digital files.
- Consolidation of the currently-separate application completeness and compliance reviews into a single review that examines both completeness and compliance. - Addition of language clarifying that the City Council may amend the Specific Plan via Resolution (as opposed to amendments requiring an Ordinance).

Staff's recommendation is that the City Council approve the proposed changes.

The Planning Commission reviewed this item at its regular meeting on January 14, 2026. The Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed modifications.

6.3 Development
Process
This section outlines the development
review and approval process for all proposed
development within the Campus Town Specific
Plan Area.

By approving the Campus Town Specific Plan,
the City has established the legislative policies
applicable to the Specific Plan Area. In order
to implement those policy decisions, the City
will review Development Applications for
development within the Specific Plan Area
pursuant to this Chapter. The scope of review
of Development Applications will consist of
review for substantial conformance with the
Specific Plan, as provided in Section

6.3.3.1.BC. The development review process
for projects proposed within the Campus
Town Specific Plan Area is streamlined based
on required conformance with the policies,
Standards, and Guidelines established by the
Specific Plan.

Packet Page 81
190 CAMPUS TOWN Specific Plan
6 implementation • 6.3 development process

6.3.1 Administration and Interpretation
Approval of development within the Campus
Town Specific Plan Area shall be subject to the
review process set forth in this section.

A. Relationship to Seaside Municipal Code
The Campus Town Specific Plan
constitutes the applicable zoning,
including development standards and
regulations, for development within the
Specific Plan Area. Title 17 (Zoning) of
the Seaside Municipal Code (SMC) shall
apply only to matters not covered in this
Specific Plan. If there is any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of
this Specific Plan and the SMC (including
without limitation Municipal Code Section

8.54.070 (Trees), Title 17 (Zoning) and/or
Title 16 (Subdivisions)), the provisions of
this Specific Plan shall take precedence.

All applicable state and federal standards
and codes also apply to development
within the Specific Plan Area. The Zoning
Administrator or designee shall prepare a
report on trees and views based on these
plans and site inspection of the land.

1. Tree Removal and Replacement.

Each Development Application shall
specify any tree to be removed
or altered and shall demonstrate
compliance with the Coast Live
Oak and Monterey Cypress tree
replacement policies in this Specific
Plan. Such application shall
identify the Lot or off-site location
on which the tree is located, or to
be planted, provide a perimeter
outline of an existing or proposed
building on the Lot, specify the
location of the tree, and furnish a
brief statement of the reason for
the request. The following finding
must be made if it is determined
that any of the trees recommended
for preservation should be removed:
the preservation of the tree(s)
would impair the implementation of
the Base Reuse Plan, the General
Plan, and/or the Specific Plan on
the site in question, and/or the
preservation is not feasible due to
the health of the tree (including
disease or pests). Final approval
of a Conformance Determination
with respect to any Development
Application indicating any trees
to be removed shall constitute
a permit to remove or alter any
trees so designated, subject to tree
replacement requirements solely
to the extent required by Section

3.5 of this Specific Plan. Appeal
of such permit shall be subject to
the same provisions as appeal of
a Conformance Determination, as
provided herein.

2. Subdivisions. Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in this
Specific Plan, the regulations set
forth in Title 16 (Subdivision) of
the SMC, entitled “Subdivisions,”
shall apply to all divisions of
land hereafter made of property
within the Campus Town Specific
Plan Area. Subdivision will be
accomplished through recordation
of multiple phased maps to facilitate
the full implementation and buildout
of the Specific Plan Area. Phasing
plans shall provide all infrastructure
necessary to support each phase in
substantial conformance with the
Specific Plan.

B. Administration of Specific Plan
The primary administrator of this Specific
Plan is the City’s zoning Administrator.

Following review of each Development
Application as provided herein, the zoning
Administrator shall have authority over
approval of Development Applications, as
provided in Section 6.3.3.1.BC. The zoning
Administrator shall have the responsibility
to interpret the provisions of the Specific
Plan. If an issue or situation arises that
is not sufficiently provided for in the
Packet Page 82
CAMPUS TOWN Specific Plan 191
6 implementation • 6.3 development process
Specific Plan, the zoning Administrator
shall be guided by the purpose, goals,
and policies of the Specific Plan and the
interpretation provisions of the Title 17
(zoning) of the SMC.

6.3.2 Peer Review
All Development Applications which include
the approval of a site plan, floor plan, and/or
building elevations (but excluding plot plans
for residential units when a design for the unit
has already been approved) shall be subject to
review by a Peer Reviewer appointed by the
zoning Administrator. The Peer Reviewer
shall at a minimum be a licensed architect, doing business within 75 miles of the City of Seaside. Grading Permits, Encroachment Permits, Tentative or Final Maps, Specific Plan Amendments, Residential Plot Plans, and similar Development Applications shall not be subject to the Peer Review process.

her designee shall conduct “Substantial
Conformance Review.” Substantial
Conformance Review This shall consist
of an evaluation by the zoning Administrator with input from the City’s Peer Reviewer of whether each complete Development Application is (i) consistent with
the General Plan; (ii) in Substantial
Conformance (as defined below) with
this Specific Plan; and (iii) in compliance
with applicable law. A Development
Application is in “Substantial
Conformance” with the Specific Plan

Determination”) of whether the
Development Application is (i) consistent
6 implementation • 6.3 development process
Packet Page 86
CAMPUS TOWN Specific Plan 195
with the General Plan; (ii) in Substantial
Conformance with this Specific Plan; and
(iii) in compliance with applicable law.

A Conformance Determination by the
zoning Administrator shall not require
notice or a public hearing.

If the Review Conformance Determination indicates that the Development Application is (i) consistent with the General Plan; (ii) in Substantial
Conformance with this Specific Plan; and
(iii) in compliance with applicable law,
the zoning Administrator shall approve
the Development Application. Notice
of the zoning Administrator’s approval
shall be provided as an informational
item on the agenda for the next regularly
scheduled public meeting of the Planning
Commission zoning Administrator. The
public’s right to appeal and procedures to
do so shall be posted on the agenda for
the public meeting.

If the Review Conformance Determination
indicates that the Development
Application is not (i) consistent with
the General Plan, (ii) in Substantial
Conformance with this Specific Plan, and/
or (iii) in compliance with applicable law,
the Conformance Determination shall
include an explanation of the zoning
Administrator’s findings regarding any
such inconsistency, lack of Substantial
Conformance (including findings
regarding qualification for a Minor
Deviation pursuant to Section 6.3.3.2.A
or Deviation pursuant to Section

6.3.3.2.B), and/or noncompliance, and
a description of changes that would be
necessary to bring the Development
Application into consistency/Substantial
Conformance/compliance. In such
case, the zoning Administrator shall
disapprove the Development Application
and the applicant may (1) revise the
Development Application to achieve
the required consistency/Substantial
Conformance/compliance and resubmit
the Development Application for another
Review Conformance Determination following
the process described above; (2) apply
for a Minor Deviation or Deviation; or (3)
appeal the zoning Administrator’s denial
of the Development application. The
Conformance Determination of the zoning
Administrator may be appealed to the
Planning Commission and subsequently
to the City Council pursuant to the
procedures of the City’s zoning Code,
regarding Appeals.

Any approval of a Development
Application not exercised within two
years after final approval shall expire
and become void, except where an
extension of time is approved as specified
in the SMC or as otherwise provided
for in a Development Agreement. After
it has been exercised (meaning that
construction plans have been submitted
and have not expired and/or construction has commenced), a Development Application approval shall remain valid and run with the land in
accordance with the Specific Plan.

6.3.3.2 Deviation Procedures
The Specific Plan is a policy and planning
framework for the ultimate buildout of
the Specific Plan Area. Implementation
of the Specific Plan requires a degree of
flexibility to respond to site, market, and
other factors that may arise in connection
with specific development proposals. In
order to ensure that implementation
of the Specific Plan is feasible and to
preserve the opportunity for variations
that will result in superior development,
the City may approve deviations from
Specific Plan Standards and Guidelines as
set forth in this Section 6.3.3.2.

A deviation will be considered a Minor
Deviation or a Deviation, as defined below.

A. Minor Deviations.

1. Minor Deviations are variations to
the Specific Plan Standards and
Guidelines that do not materially
affect the objectives of this Specific
Plan and are minor in light of the
Specific Plan as a whole. Minor
Deviations do not constitute
or require an amendment to
the Specific Plan. If the Zoning
Administrator deems a deviation
to not be a Minor Deviation, the
Development Application shall be
processed as a Deviation pursuant
to Section 6.3.3.2.B below.

2. Upon written request by an
applicant, the zoning Administrator
may approve, conditionally approve,
or deny a Minor Deviation without
public notice or a public hearing,
in which case the decision of the
zoning Administrator shall be
reported as an information item on
the agenda for the next regularly
scheduled public meeting of the
Planning Commission zoning Administrator. Alternatively if the zoning Administrator determines that the Minor Deviation is of significant
public interest or raises significant
policy issues, the zoning Administrator may refer
the Minor Deviation to the Planning
Commission for a noticed public
hearing. The following constitute
examples of Minor Deviations:
a. To allow walls or fences to
exceed the Height limit described
herein by a maximum of two feet.
b. To allow a decrease not
exceeding 10 percent of the
required area for landscape
coverage.
c. To allow a decrease not
exceeding 10 percent of the
minimum lot dimensions
described in Chapter 4.6.2.
d. To allow an increase or decrease
not exceeding 10 percent of
minimum and maximum required
front setbacks.
e. To allow an increase not
exceeding 10 percent of
maximum height.
f. To allow a decrease in required
number of parking spaces based
on quantifiable information
provided by the applicant
regarding shared parking,
reduced demand, or alternative
mobility strategies.
g. Deviations of a similar nature
to those listed above that are
deemed minor by the Zoning
Administrator that are in keeping
with the intent and objectives of
this Specific Plan.

3. In approving a Minor Deviation,
the Zoning Administrator or the
Planning Commission, as applicable,
may impose conditions as deemed
necessary to protect the public’s
health, safety and welfare, and
to assure compliance with the
objectives of the Specific Plan.
6 implementation • 6.3 development process
Packet Page 88
CAMPUS TOWN Specific Plan 197

4. The Zoning Administrator’s
determination on a Minor Deviation
may be appealed to the Planning
Commission pursuant to the
appeal procedures of the Zoning
Code. A decision of the Planning
Commission on a Minor Deviation
may be appealed to the City Council
pursuant to the appeal procedures
in the Zoning Code.

B. Deviations

1. Deviations are variations from
the Standards or Guidelines of
this Specific Plan that do not
constitute Minor Deviations, but
nonetheless do not materially affect
the objectives of this Specific Plan.

Applications for a Deviation shall be
subject to review and approval by
the Planning Commission following
a noticed public hearing, and
subject to appeal to the City Council
in accordance with the appeal
procedures of the City’s Zoning
Code. The Planning Commission (or
the City Council on appeal) shall
approve a Deviation if it makes the
following findings:
a. The Deviation is consistent with
the goals and policies of the
Specific Plan.
b. The Deviation is not detrimental
to public health, safety or
welfare.
c. The Deviation does not create a
nuisance or hazard.
d. The Deviation does not have
a significant adverse effect
on adjoining properties or the
immediate neighbors.

2. In approving a Deviation, the
Planning Commission (or the City
Council on appeal) may impose
conditions as deemed necessary
to protect the public’s health,
safety and welfare, and to ensure
compliance with the objectives of
the Specific Plan.

6.3.3.3 Amendment Procedures
This Specific Plan can be amended
pursuant to the provisions of the
California Government Code (Sections
65453-65454). Amendments to the
Specific Plan may be done by Resolution of the City Council. Procedures of the SMC shall be followed for hearing,
notice, and decision of a Specific Plan
amendment.

6.3.4 Fees and Taxes
The City requires the payment of development
impact fees and certain taxes to finance
public improvements. The City also requires
the payment of processing fees to offset the
cost of processing Development Applications.

Fees for development within the City apply to
projects within the Campus Town Specific Plan
Area, subject to any applicable Development
Agreement. These fees include:
• Public Land Dedication
• School Land Dedication
• Park Development Fee
• Water and Sewer Tap Fees
• Potable Irrigation

Item No.: 9.B.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andrew Myrick, Housing & Planning Manager
DATE: February 5, 2026
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ZOA-2026-001: AN

AMENDMENT TO THE SEASIDE MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODIFY

THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY TO INCLUDE
CONTRACTED PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES. THE PROPOSED

ACTION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES (FIRST

READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)

RECOMMENDATION
Open the Public Hearing and introduce the proposed Ordinance for adoption at the Council's next meeting.

BACKGROUND
Chapter 17.98 ("Definitions") of the Zoning Ordinance is one of the Ordinance's most critical components. This is because whether a proposed use is allowed is determined based upon the Use Classifications Tables that specify whether a proposed use is permitted, permitted with permits, or not permitted at various locations throughout the City. Determining which definition a proposed project falls under is therefore a critical determination, as it determines whether the project will be allowed and, if so, what types of permits and process would be required in order to move forward.

The County of Monterey contracts with a private party, AMR Medical Response, to provide ambulance services on a County-wide basis. No public agency provides ambulance service. The City has received an application for a Use Permit to allow AMR to store its ambulances and medical supplies at 1191 Echo Avenue (former Enterprise Rent-a-Car). Operationally, when employees arrive at the site, they would collect Packet Page 92

medical supplies as needed and take an ambulance to pre-determined locations throughout the area. They would then dispatch from those locations, rather than from the site itself. No employees would be working from the site.

In reviewing Chapter 17.98, the Zoning Administrator has determined that there are two potential definitions that this could fall under: Public Safety Facility or Specialized Transportation Dispatch Facility. These uses are defined as follows:

Public Safety Facility. A facility operated by a public agency including fire stations, other fire prevention and fire fighting facilities, police and sheriff substations and headquarters, including interim incarceration facilities. May include ambulance dispatch facilities on the same site.

Specialized Transportation Dispatch Facility. A base facility where ambulances, taxis, limousines, armored cars, tow trucks and similar vehicles for specialized transportation are stored, and from which they are dispatched, and/or where ambulance vehicles and crews not based at a hospital or fire department stand by for emergency calls. Does not include storage facilities for towed vehicles, which is classified under “Vehicle Storage.”
Each of these definitions appear to generally refer to the type of use proposed but include language that is contrary to the proposed use. In the case of Public Safety Facility, the definition includes the language "operated by a public agency," which is not the case here. For a Specialized Transportation Dispatch Facility, the use is not consistent because it refers to a location "from which they are dispatched, and/or where ambulance vehicles and crews...stand by for emergency calls." As noted previously, ambulances would not be dispatched, and crews would not be stationed at the site waiting for emergency calls.

Since there is no definition that fits the proposed use exactly, staff is proposing to modify the definition of "Public Safety Facility" to also include private companies providing public safety services under contract with a public agency. This definition was selected because it is more consistent with the intent of the use (the purpose of the operation is to enhance public safety). Public Safety Facilities may be considered with a Use Permit in any Commercial district; Specialized Transportation Dispatch Facilities may be considered only in the Heavy Commercial (CH) Zoning District. This would remain unchanged under the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment. The merits of the Use Permit itself would be evaluated separately through the standard permit process consistent with the Council's decision on this Ordinance.

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Ordinance at its regular meeting of January 14, 2026, and unanimously (5-0) recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Ordinance. Staff recommends that the City Council amend the Zoning Ordinance to modify the language of Chapter 17.98.P as noted in the attached Ordinance.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 10.B.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Greg McDanel, City Manager
DATE: February 5, 2026
SUBJECT: REPORT ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY VACANCIES IN SEASIDE

RECOMMENDATION
Recieve report.

BACKGROUND
At the Regular City Council Meeting on December 18, 2025, Councilmember Garcia Arrazola requested that staff prepare a report outlining commercial property vacancies within the City of Seaside. At the Regular City Council Meeting on January 15, 2026, the request received support and confirmed direction for staff to proceed with preparation of the report and placement on a future agenda.

Commercial vacancies—both tenant-ready spaces and undeveloped or underutilized commercial lots—are a visible concern within several commercial corridors and activity centers throughout the City. Understanding the scale, location, and contributing factors of these vacancies is an important step in aligning economic development strategies, infrastructure planning, and regulatory tools.

The City of Seaside's Economic Development Department has compiled a working inventory of commercial vacancies and vacant commercial parcels throughout the City to better understand the scope and distribution of underutilized properties. Vacancies vary by corridor and property type and reflect a combination of market conditions, sitespecific constraints, and broader economic factors. This inventory is intended to be a living dataset that will continue to be refined and used to inform economic development Packet Page 107

Item No. 10.B. Page 2 of 2
strategy, infrastructure planning, and business attraction efforts. The presentation will also provide an update regarding the City's active efforts to address these vacancies and promote long-term economic vitality for the community.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving this report. Ongoing economic development efforts are supported through existing budgeted resources.
