Terri-Ann Skelly, San Dieguito Alliance for Drug-Free Youth, submitted a handout (on file) and spoke of concerns regarding the sale of kratom, an unregulated psychoactive substance, and highlighted the dangers associated with its use.

Peggy Walker, San Dieguito Alliance for Drug-Free Youth, expressed concerns about the sale of kratom in the City and referenced warnings from the FDA and the Mayo Clinic regarding its psychoactive and addictive properties as well as the lack of oversight and age restrictions. She said that the sale of kratom is prevalent in gas stations and café bars and that the long-term effects of these drugs liken its effects to opioids. She urged Council to adopt an ordinance like the one adopted in the City of Oceanside and provide information on the FDAs stance on kratom.

Dan King, Interim City Manager, introduced the item.

Corey Andrews, Principal Planner, presented a PowerPoint (on file).

Mayor Heebner opened the public hearing.

Council disclosures.

Council and Staff discussed height of the buildings, parking layout, trash enclosure size, solar panel installation, fire access, the potential impact on stormwater runoff into nearby Stevens Creek, assurances regarding compliance with building codes, fire safety standards, and stormwater management requirements, the feasibility of certain design elements, such as the turning radius for parking and the adequacy of the trash enclosure size, and the possibility of incorporating permeable surfaces for parking areas to mitigate runoff impacts.

Tim Golba, Golba Architecture, presented a PowerPoint (on file) of the design concepts for the proposed development project, highlighting key aspects such as site layout, building placement, parking arrangements, and landscaping. He reviewed the efforts to integrate the project with the existing neighborhood while utilizing the site's topography to create a balanced and visually appealing design, and the engagement with neighbors through the sharing of renderings to provide a realistic visualization of the project's impact.

Council and Applicant discussed the garage parking and the allowance for additional parking outside of the garages as surplus guest parking, the design feature to prevent easy access between units for the safety and accessibility of roof decks between buildings, the choice of materials for railings and openness to using glass railings for visibility, considering native and drought-tolerant plant materials for landscaping, and utilizing garage spaces for parking rather than storage.

Lawrence and Melissa Gallego presented posters and said that the project was a threestory building towering over their backyard and disrupting their view and privacy, that there were issues regarding parking, sunlight, and the invasion of privacy due to the height of the building and the positioning of decks, and asked Council to mitigate these concerns by reducing the height of the building and the number of units.

Danny Hernandez said that he had concerns about the proposed three-story buildings, worries about parking and traffic congestion, particularly regarding the tightness of the driveways in the proposed development, that the neighborhood was predominantly zoned for two-story buildings and suggested that reducing the height of the new development would better align with the character of the area.

Solana Beach City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 24, 2024 Page 9 of 11 Tara Hernandez said she was speaking in support of neighbors Melissa and Larry Gallegos and that she empathized with her neighbors' situation, as a similar issue had occurred with her own property, that the project's size had an impact on shadows cast on neighboring houses, that she advocated for reducing the project to two stories to preserve the character of the neighborhood and prevent future developments from overshadowing the area.

Maura Griffin said that the building heights in the area should remain unchanged, the need for the building to be lowered, that more green space be included, and concerns about the number of units proposed for the development.

Richard Cordes said that he opposed the proposed development, citing concerns about the impact on the scenic view of Stevens Creek Valley from Hernandez Street that the proposed building was a giant that they do not want in the area, and that it should be reduced in size.

Chad Arendsen stated concerns about the proposed development's impact on the neighborhood's character and affordability, the importance of balancing return on investment (ROI) with community needs, that the proposed density increase does not adequately benefit the community, particularly in terms of affordable housing, and urged Council to consider making the project conform to existing regulations by limiting height and maintaining a lower unit count to better align with community interests.

PJ Chryssostomides, Applicant, said that they originally planned to build 11 units instead of nine, that this layout was a result of working with the City to meet all requirements, that the height of the existing buildings are 30 ft., that the density bonus was warranted given the affordable housing component, that the project was carefully planned to mitigate issues with parking and height, that the project would enhance the community preserving the neighborhood's character while providing much-needed housing, and that landscape plans would minimize visual impact on neighboring properties.

Council and Applicant discussed that the reduction of the height of the back buildings was not economically feasible, that they would be willing to remove rooftop decks if the community felt they were not historically appropriate, that the developer agreed to consider using solid railings instead of glass at the back to provide more privacy to neighboring properties, and that landscaping options should be chosen to soften the visual impact of the development.

Johanna Canlas, City Attorney, explained the limitations imposed by state law on the Council’s discretion regarding land use decisions and were required to adhere to objective standards and could not change them to reduce density.

Council discussed their limitations and frustration with the process and encouraged the community to advocate for restoring local land use authority to cities.

Solana Beach City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 24, 2024 Page 10 of 11 Motion: Moved by Councilmember Zito and second by Deputy Mayor Edson to close the public hearing. Approved 5/0. Ayes: Heebner, Edson, Becker, MacDonald, Zito. Noes:

None. Motion carried unanimously.

Council discussed modifications and requested that the Applicant work with the neighbors in choosing appropriate vegetation for the east end of the project to shield the project’s view.

Motion: Moved by Deputy Mayor Edson and second by Councilmember MacDonald to approve. Approved 5/0 with modifications to 1) remove roof decks 2) garages be used for parking 3) that rear balcony rails be opaque and not see through 4) increase vegetation on east end of project 5) native and drought tolerant plantings where feasibility.

Ayes: Heebner, Edson, Becker, MacDonald, Zito. Noes: None. Motion carried unanimously.

C.1. Public Right-of-Way Parkway Surface Alternatives. (File 0820-18) Recommendation: That the City Council

1. Receive report, discuss and provide direction, as necessary.

Item C.1. Report (click here)
Item C.1. Supplemental Docs (updated 4-24-24 at 5:25pm) Posted Reports & Supplemental Docs contain records up to the cut off time, prior to the start of the meeting, for processing new submittals. The final official record containing handouts, PowerPoints, etc. can be obtained through a Records Request to the City Clerk’s Office.

Dan King, Interim City Manager, introduced the item.

Mo Sammak, Engineering/Public Works Dir., presented a PowerPoint (on file) giving an overview of the current state of right-of-way improvements and seeking direction from the Council on potential alternative options.

Catherine Barnes expressed support for expanding options for approved ground coverings in the right-of-way areas in front of houses and said that there were benefits of decomposed granite (DG) in certain circumstances but highlighted its limitations, particularly on sloped properties where it can cause runoff issues and create hazards for pedestrians, especially those with disabilities. She suggested alternative options such as pavers to achieve a balance of safety, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.

Council discussion centered on finding suitable surface options for city rights-of-way, particularly driveways and parking areas, the use of Decomposed Granite (DG) and alternative options for surfacing public areas and walkways, that DG is favored for its rural Solana Beach City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 24, 2024 Page 11 of 11 and informal look, but it may not be suitable for all locations, such as steep slopes and areas prone to water runoff, the issues with DG maintenance including the breakdown of bonding agents and the need for frequent restoration, the need for surfaces to be walkable and compatible with mobility aids like walkers and wheelchairs for safety and accessibility, alternative materials like pavers, stamped concrete, and crushed rock, developing guidelines and policies for right-of-way improvements, questions about permit fees for maintenance projects in the right-of-way and possible reduced fees for such projects, and the need for a balance between aesthetics, environmental impact, safety, and maintenance when selecting surfacing materials for public areas.

SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolutions 2024-046, 2024- 047 and 2024-048 Approving the Preliminary Coastal Rail Trail Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and the Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for the Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District
BACKGROUND:

In 2006, the City Council adopted a resolution forming the Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District (District) under the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Division 15, Part 2, of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act). The District was formed for the purpose of levying and collecting funds for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, lighting and all appurtenant facilities related to the Coastal Rail Trail (CRT). In order to levy and collect an assessment in the District, it is necessary to notify the property owners of the City and conduct a Public Hearing. Staff is recommending the public hearing be held on June 12, 2024.

This item is presented to the City Council for the consideration of Resolution 2024-046 (Attachment 1) initiating proceedings for the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25, Resolution 2024-047 (Attachment 2) approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Report and Resolution 2024-048 (Attachment 3) setting a time and place for a Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION:

The District’s major costs are for ongoing maintenance of the CRT. The maintenance items include landscaping, irrigation, trail maintenance and graffiti removal. The costs also include the utility charges for water use along the CRT. The District includes funds for capital replacement as well including future replacement of landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian/bike path and hardscape items. The capital replacement costs also include an operating reserve of approximately 10% of the direct maintenance costs.

The District’s assessment methodology uses an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) System.

The EBU method of apportioning benefit is typically viewed as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act. The EBU for the proposed District establishes the single-family detached residential unit as the basic unit, representing 1.0 EBU. The following summarizes the EBU application by land use:

Land Use EBU
Single-Family Residential 1.0 per parcel
Residential Condominium 1.0 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family Residential 0.75 per dwelling unit
Planned Residential Development 1.0 per proposed unit
Commercial/Industrial 1.0 per parcel
Vacant Single-Family Residential 1.0 per parcel
Vacant Multi-Family Residential 0.75 per parcel
Vacant Commercial/Industrial 1.0 per parcel
The methodology identifies parcels that are exempt from the proposed District. They include, but are not limited to, parcels identified as public streets, roadways, dedicated public easements, open space and rights-of-way. These properties, as well as other publicly owned properties such as schools, fire stations, post offices and community centers are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements of the proposed District.

In addition to assigning properties an EBU by land type, the assessment methodology utilizes three zones based on the proximity of parcels to the CRT. Properties located closest to the CRT will receive a greater special benefit than those properties that are located further away from the trail. A factor is applied to each of the zones according to their locations. The three zones are as follows:

Zone 1:

This zone includes all properties generally located within a few blocks and closest to the CRT. The properties are located between the east side of Acacia Avenue, the east side of South Sierra Avenue and the west side of Rios Avenue (see the assessment boundary map in the Engineer’s Report). Parcels in this zone are assessed the EBU amounts based on land use and then multiplied by a factor of three.

Zone 2:

This zone includes all properties that are generally located on the west side of Acacia Avenue, the west side of South Sierra Avenue and those properties located between the east side of Rios Avenue and west of Interstate 5. Parcels in this zone are assessed the EBU amounts based on land use and then multiplied by a factor of two.

Page 3 of 5 ends

Zone 3:

This zone includes properties located east of Interstate 5. Parcels in this zone are assessed the EBU amounts based on land use and then multiplied by a factor of 0.5.

At the formation of the District, the adopted Maximum Assessment formula included an annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) adjustment that is not to exceed 2.00%. This Maximum Assessment annual adjustment adopted by the initial vote is not considered an increased assessment. Since the CPI-U for 2023 was 5.51%, the increase to the EBU charge from last year is 2.00%, which is the maximum allowed. The following shows the maximum assessment rates proposed to be levied in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 by land use:

Exempt Parcels Parcel $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $0.00

The 1972 Act requires the City Council to adopt a resolution annually directing the preparation and filing of an Annual Report and a Resolution of Intention to renew the annual assessments for the District. The resolutions declare the City Council's intention to levy and collect assessments and set the date of the public hearing at which the assessments will be levied. The law requires the assessment information to be submitted to the County by August 10th of each year.

Attachment 4 is the preliminary CRT Maintenance District Engineer's Report for FY 2024/25.

The report contains an overview of the District; a description of the services and May 22, 2024

improvements to be maintained; the proposed FY 2024/25 Budget; and the method of apportionment.

The City will notify the property owners about levying and collecting assessments in the Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District by publishing a notice about the date of the Public Hearing (June 26, 2024) in the local paper.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The District began assessing a benefit charge in FY 2006/07. The CPI-U for 2023 was

5.51%. Since the maximum amount the assessment is allowed to increase each year is equal to the CPI-U but not greater than 2.00%, the assessments for FY 2024/25 are proposed to increase by 2.00% per Table 3 of the Report (and indicated on the previous page of this Staff Report). The amount of the Equivalent Benefit Unit for FY 2024/25 is $8.36. This is $0.18 more per EBU than last year’s assessment and is consistent with the approval of the District by the vote of the property owners in January 2006.

Based on the above methodology and included in the Engineer’s Report, the CRT is expected to receive $84,177 in benefit charge revenues (total assessment amount). The total amount expected to be spent on the Coastal Rail Trail in FY 2024/25 is $106,231. The shortfall of $22,054, or the difference between the amount expected to be received ($84,177) and the amount expected to be spent ($106,231), will be covered by available projected reserves in the CRT fund of $45,984 on July 1, 2024. The CRT fund should keep reserves equal to approximately 50% of the annual assessment amount. The proposed budget will reduce the CRT fund balance to approximately $23,930 by June 30, 2025. This reserve will be under the 50% recommended maximum fund balance of $42,089. In the future, additional funds will need to be appropriated from non-CRT funding sources to fully fund the maintenance of the Coastal Rail Trail and maintain the recommended operating reserves.

WORK PLAN:

Renewal of the CRT Maintenance District is consistent with the Fiscal Sustainability section of the City’s Work Plan.

OPTIONS:
• Accept the Preliminary Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Engineer’s Report for FY 2024/25, proceed with the annual levy of assessments and set the time and date for a public hearing to be held on June 26, 2024.

SECTION I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Coastal Rail Trail (the “CRT”) is a project sponsored by the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and San Diego for a multi-use pathway (bicycle facilities and pedestrian) that will ultimately extend from the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside to the Santa Fe Depot in San Diego. Each of the sponsoring cities has agreed to construct and maintain the portion of the trail that is located within their jurisdiction. The City of Solana Beach (the “City”) began construction on their portion of the CRT (“City CRT”) in August 2003 by obtaining outside grants and the City CRT was substantially completed in November of 2004.

The City CRT consists of a Class I bicycle trail that is approximately 1.7 miles long. The Solana Beach portion of the CRT starts at the south City boundary at Via de la Valle and extends north to Ocean Street near the north City boundary.

The City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District (“District”) was formed in January 2006 in order to provide funding for the maintenance of certain public improvements including but not limited to the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and public lighting improvements along the City CRT. This report constitutes the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report for the District.

The City Council pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of California, beginning with Section 22500 (“Act”) and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIIIC and XIIID (“Proposition 218”) and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (Government Code Section 53750 and following) (the “Implementation Act”) desires to levy and collect annual assessments against lots and parcels within the District beginning in the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025 to pay for the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and public lighting improvements along the City CRT. The proposed assessments are based on the City’s estimate of the costs for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 to maintain the City CRT improvements that provide a special benefit to properties assessed within the District. The assessment rates set for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 as set forth in this Engineer’s Report, do not exceed the maximum rates established at the time the District was formed, therefore, the City and the District are not required to go through a property owner ballot procedure in order to establish the 2024/2025 assessment rates.

1. While the cost of the electricity is not 100% general benefit, the City is paying for the entire cost through other available funds and none of the cost is being allocated to the parcels located within the District.

2. The CRT landscaping cost is greater than the available funding from the District so other available funding is being utilized to cover the difference.

3. The City is developing a plan on how to utilize the operating reserves on the CRT in the future.

B. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following is a brief description of the major budget categories that includes the detailed costs of maintenance and services for the District included in the table above.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS – This includes the costs of maintaining and servicing the landscaping and lighting improvements. This may include, but is not limited to, the costs for labor, utilities, equipment, supplies, repairs, replacements and upgrades that are required to properly maintain the items that provide a direct benefit to properties located within the District.

CAPITAL REPLACEMENT AND RESERVES – These items provide a funding source to pay for items that wear out over time, other unanticipated items not directly budgeted for and for the replacement of the landscaping, pathways and hardscape features located along and adjacent to the City CRT.

ADMINISTRATION COSTS – This includes the indirect costs not included above that are necessary to pay for administrative costs related to the District, including the levy and submittal of the assessments to the County to be placed on the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 County equalized tax roll, responding to property owner inquiries relating to the assessments and services, and any other related administrative costs.

City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Page 8 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report 4/19/2024
SECTION IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping and public lights and appurtenant facilities.

Streets and Highways Code Section 22573 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than the assessed value.
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Article XIIID and the Implementation Act require that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost for the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on property located within the assessment district. Article XIIID and the Implementation Act further provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. They also require that publicly owned properties which specifically benefit from the improvements be assessed.

B. GENERAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The improvements described in Section II B of this Report are for the special benefit, enhancement and use of properties within the District. However, the City CRT was constructed as a portion of a much larger regional trail that eventually will extend from the City of Oceanside to the north to the City of San Diego to the south. Residents and property owners located in each of the cities along the trail will receive a special benefit from the construction and maintenance of the trail within their city. Residents from each of these cities will have an opportunity to use the entire trail upon completion including the portion in Solana Beach which creates a general benefit.

Additionally, included among the different property types in the City are timeshare units.

Though individuals may purchase and “own” their timeshare unit, their ownership rights are limited and temporary (typically one week per year.) Owners of timeshare units have an opportunity to use the CRT while vacationing in the City. Due to the limited ownership time-frame of timeshare owners, their special benefit is limited and thus considered as part of the general benefit similar to the general benefit to the public at large.

The general benefit portion of the assessment has been determined by looking at each participating city’s trail length as a factor or the entire trail. The City of Solana Beach’s portion of the CRT is 1.7 miles compared to the entire proposed trail length of 44.0 miles.

Comparing the length of the City CRT to the total length of the CRT results in a general benefit of 3.86%. Engineering also determined that timeshares add an additional 2.0% City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Page 9 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report 4/19/2024
general benefit impact. For rounding purposes after adding the two components (3.86% +

2.0%) the general benefit is considered to be 6.0% overall to the public at large. The budget has been allocated to parcels based on their special benefit share. In addition, the City is paying 100% of the electricity costs, totaling $29,500, for the District through funds available from other sources resulting in over 30% of the costs paid directly by the City.

C. SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the proposed improvements and the associated costs and assessments within the District has been reviewed, identified and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, the Implementation Act, and the Streets and Highways Code Section 22573.

Proper maintenance and operation of the City CRT landscaping, hardscape, open space and public lighting provides special benefit to adjacent properties by providing community character, security, safety and vitality. Additionally, one of the purposes of the trail is to facilitate alternative transportation opportunities in order to reduce air pollution and vehicular traffic congestion which provide special benefit to the properties within the District.

TRAIL AND LANDSCAPING SPECIAL BENEFIT
Landscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property values. Specifically, they provide a sense of ownership and a common theme in the community providing aesthetic appeal, recreational and health opportunities and increased desirability of properties.

PUBLIC LIGHTING SPECIAL BENEFIT
The operation, maintenance and servicing of public lighting along and adjacent to the City CRT provide safety and security to properties along City CRT specifically as follows:
 Improved security, deterrence of crime and aid to police and fire protection.  Reduced vandalism and damage to the improvements and property.  Increased business activity to the coastal community during nighttime hours.

City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Page 10 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report 4/19/2024
D. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
To establish the special benefit to the individual lots or parcels within the District, an Equivalent Benefit Unit system based on land use is used along with a Zone Factor based on geographic proximity to the City CRT.

EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
Each parcel of land is assigned an Equivalent Benefit Unit in proportion to the estimated special benefit the parcel receives relative to other parcels within the District. The single family detached (“SFD”) residential property has been selected as the basic unit for calculating assessments; therefore, a SFD residential parcel equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”).

The EBU method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development. A methodology has been developed to relate all other land uses to the SFD residential as described below.

EBU APPLICATION BY LAND USE:

SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel in which a tract map has been approved and recorded. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Benefit Unit or EBU).

RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property with individual unit ownership. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per dwelling unit.

MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property not available for individual unit ownership. This land use is assessed 0.75 EBU per dwelling unit.

PLANNED-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT — This land use is defined as any property not fully subdivided with a specific number of proposed residential lots or dwelling units to be developed on the parcel. This land use type is assessed at 1.0 EBU per planned (proposed) residential lot or dwelling unit.

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL — This land use is defined as property developed for either commercial or industrial use. This land use type is assessed at 1.0 EBU per parcel.

VACANT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for single-family detached residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 1.0 EBU per parcel.

VACANT MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for multi-family residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 0.75 EBU per parcel.

City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Page 11 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report 4/19/2024
VACANT COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for either commercial or industrial use. This land use is assessed at 1.0 EBU per parcel.

EXEMPT PARCELS — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.0 EBU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited, to lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-ways including greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that can not be developed; park properties and other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or that have little or no improvement value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

PUBLIC OWNED PARCELS — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.0 EBU. This land use classification includes other typically non-assessed parcels that are not considered exempt parcels and may include, but is not limited, to lots or parcels identified as schools, government owned buildings, fire and police stations, and administration offices. These types of properties are considered to receive little special benefit from the improvements and any benefit that they may receive is considered to be part of the City’s general benefit contribution to the District.

ZONE FACTOR
The District was divided into three zones based on the proximity of parcels in location to the City CRT. Properties located the closest to the trail will receive a greater special benefit as compared to those parcels the farthest away. In order to calculate this into the assessment a factor is applied to each parcel according to the following Zone location.

ZONE 1 PROPERTIES – This Zone is defined as properties located adjacent to or within a few blocks of the City CRT improvements. This includes all properties that are generally located east of Acacia and Sierra Avenue and west of Rios Avenue. Parcels located in this zone use the EBU amounts derived above based on land use and then multiplied by a proximity factor of three (3).

ZONE 2 PROPERTIES – This Zone is defined as properties located close to the improvements but not adjacent to the City CRT or properties defined as Zone 1 Properties.

This includes all properties that are generally located west of Acacia Avenue and also those properties located east of Rios Avenue and west of Interstate-5. Parcels located in this zone use the EBU amounts derived above based on land use and then multiplied by a proximity factor of two (2).

ZONE 3 PROPERTIES – This Zone is defined as properties located the furthest away from the City CRT improvements. This includes all properties that are located east of Interestate5. Parcels located in this zone use the EBU amounts derived above based on land use and then multiplied by a proximity factor of 0.5.

City of Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Maintenance District Page 12 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Engineer’s Report 4/19/2024
The following table summarizes the EBU and Zone Factors based on land use.

In order to determine the maximum annual assessment rate for each type of land use described above, the following formula is applied:

Applicable EBU * Applicable Zone Factor*Maximum Assessment Rate per 1.0 EBU=Assessment Rate per Unit/Parcel.

E. RATES
Table 3 below shows the maximum assessments rates proposed to be levied in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 by land use. Because the San Diego Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) was over 2.00% for 2023 (5.51%), the maximum assessments were increased by 2.00% as allowed for in the assessment range formula discussed below.

F. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable inflationary increases to the annual assessments without requiring the District to go through an expensive balloting process required by law in order to get a small increase. On July 1, 2007 and each year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate shall be increased by the lesser of Local CPI-U in the San Diego County area or 2.0%. The CPI-U used shall be as determined annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics beginning with the CPI-U rate increase for 2006.

Beginning in the Fiscal Year 2007/2008 the Maximum Assessment may be increased using the lesser of the increase in the CPI-U from first year levy (the Assessment Range Formula) or 2.0%. This Assessment Rate Formula would be applied every fiscal year thereafter and a new Maximum Assessment will be established to include the allowable increase.

The Maximum Assessment adjusted annually by this formula is not considered an increased assessment. Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual assessment will only reflect the necessary budgeted amounts and may remain unchanged. Increases in the budget or an increase in the rate in one year from the prior year will not require a new 218 balloting unless the rate is greater than the Maximum Assessment adjusted to reflect an increase in the CPI-U.

SECTION V. ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the parcel as shown on the County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.

A listing of parcels assessed within the District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, has been submitted to the City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report. Said listing of parcels to be assessed shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2024/2025. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 22, 2024
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department
SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolution 2024-049 and 2023-050 for the Engineer’s Report, the Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for the Solana Beach Lighting District for FY 2024/25
BACKGROUND:

In 1987, the City Council adopted a resolution forming the Solana Beach Lighting District (District) under the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Division 15, Part 2, of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act). The District was formed for the purpose of levying and collecting funds for the installation, operation, and maintenance of streetlight facilities within the City.

The 1972 Act requires the City Council to adopt a resolution annually directing the preparation and filing of an Annual Report and a Resolution of Intention to renew the District.

The resolutions declare the City Council's intention to levy and collect assessments and set the date of the public hearing at which the assessments will be levied. The law requires the assessment information to be submitted to the County by August 10th each year. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2008/09, fees for the District were suspended. During the period of FY 2009/10 through FY 2023/24, fees were collected but the rate was not increased. Staff is proposing no increase in fees for FY 2024/25.

Utilizing a portion of the reserve funds in the district, all City-owned streetlights were retrofitted to LED fixtures in 2012. The LED lights are much more energy efficient than the old lights. The streetlights in Solana Beach are not metered and the City pays a set rate for each light. SDG&E has reduced the rates for the LED retrofitted lights and the savings are reflected in the budget. The retrofitted LED lights use approximately 50% less energy than the standard streetlights that were previously used.

This item is before the City Council for the consideration of Resolution 2024-049 (Attachment 1) approving the Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and Resolution 2024-050 (Attachment 2) setting a time and place for a Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District Engineer's Report for FY 2024/25 is included as Attachment 3. The recommended assessment methodology is a Spread Methodology as outlined in the Calculation of Assessment Fees, page 7 of Attachment 3. The total amount to be assessed for streetlights for FY 2024/25 is $75,270.

The Derivation of Streetlighting Benefit Units table in Exhibit 2 (page 9 and 10) is found to be consistent with the current SANDAG Traffic Generation Manual and is appropriate for the associated land uses. The improvements include those designated in the district boundaries and shown in the City’s Streetlight Master Plan.

The District is the successor agency to portions of San Diego County Lighting Maintenance District Nos. 1 and 3 (LMD1 and LMD3). Ballots issued in 1982 and 1984 to levy assessments for LMD1 and LMD3 were approved to have a maximum charge of $25.00 per benefit unit. This maximum benefit unit charge will not apply to Zone B of the District as it was formed since Solana Beach was incorporated.

The annual assessment fees are collected based on property locations in the City, identified as Zone A or Zone B, as shown on the Streetlight Zone Map in Exhibit 1 (page 8) of Attachment 3. The annual assessment fees for this year are $8.80 per benefit unit for Zone A and $1.62 for Zone B. These fees are the same assessment fees as last year. In order to levy and collect an assessment in the District, it is necessary to notify the property owners of the City. The City will publish one notice in a newspaper of local circulation indicating the public hearing to be held on June 26, 2024.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The District has been financed by a benefit charge and by using the District’s share of one percent ad valorem property tax revenues since FY 1989/90. The amount to be generated from the benefit assessment is proposed to be $8.80 per benefit unit in Zone A and $1.62 in Zone B, which are unchanged from last year, for a total assessment of $75,270 in FY 2024/25. The amount to be assessed this year is slightly down from the assessed amount from last year. This is due to the property at the Solana Highlands Apartments along Nardo Avenue being classified as vacant land. Once construction of that project is completed, the property will be reclassified and the number of EDUs will increase.

The City of Solana Beach (“City”) Lighting Maintenance District (“District”) was formed to provide funding for operation, maintenance and servicing of all lights within the City, owned both by City of Solana Beach and San Diego Gas and Electric as shown on the City’s Streetlight Master Plan. The City Council, pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Street and Highway Code of California” (Act), desires to levy and collect annual assessment against lots and parcels within the District beginning in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025. The collected assessments would pay for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the public lighting improvements within the City. The proposed assessments are based on the City’s estimate for the cost for fiscal year 2024/2025 to maintain the District that provides a special benefit to properties assessed within the District. The assessment rates set for Fiscal Year 2024/2025, as set forth in this Engineer’s Report (“Report”), do not exceed the maximum rates established at the time the District was formed, therefore, the City and the District are not required to go through property owner ballot procedure to establish the 2024/2025 assessment rates.

This report describes the District boundaries and the proposed operation, maintenance and services to be assessed to the property owners located within the District. For this Report, each lot or parcel to be assessed refers to an individual property and is assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number (“APN”) by the San Diego County (“County”) Assessor’s Office as shown on the latest equalization roll of the assessor.

Following the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will confirm the Report as submitted or amended and may order the collection of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

General Description of the District
The boundaries of the District are defined as being contiguous with the boundaries of the City of Solana Beach. The properties within the District include single-family residential, multi-family residential, timeshare, multiuse, commercial and industrial parcels.

Section 22573, Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (“1972 Act”), requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section of the 1972 Act states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
4 The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, "...by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory, which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements. An assessment district may consist of contiguous or non-contiguous areas."
Properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state, or the federal government, are not assessable without the approval of the particular agency. For this reason, they are traditionally not assessed.

Designation of Zones
The District consists of two zones in the City of Solana Beach; Zone “A” and Zone “B”.

Properties within Zone “A”, which represent the majority of the parcels in the City, benefit from streetlights on six significant circulation element streets as well as streetlights on their local streets. Properties within Zone “B”, also known as “Dark Sky Zone”, do not have streetlights on their local streets. These properties benefit only from streetlights on circulation element streets and do not benefit from streetlights on local streets. A map showing the boundaries of the District and the zones is on file in the office of the City Engineer and is also attached herein as Exhibit 1.

District Improvements
The public lighting improvements to be maintained and serviced include but are not limited to the following:
• Maintenance, repair and replacement of public light poles and fixtures, including changing light bulbs, painting, photoelectric cell repair or replacement, repairing damages caused by automobile accidents and vandalism, and repairing normal deterioration caused by time and weather.
• Electrical conduit repair and replacement due to damage by vandalism and normal deterioration.
• Service-call maintenance repair and replacement including painting, replacing worn out electrical components and repairing damage due to accidents, vandalism, and normal deterioration.
• Payment of the electrical bill for the existing street lighting system. • Responding to constituent and business inquiries and complaints regarding the public lighting.
5 Maintenance
The City provides services and furnishes materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation and servicing of public lighting improvements facilities and appurtenant facilities. This includes inspecting lights during daylight as well as evening hours for condition assessment and performing repair, removal or replacement of all or part of any of the streetlights found to be inoperable in order to provide for the health welfare and safety of the residents in the district.

Servicing
The City workforce along with assistance from private contractors provide all labor, materials, equipment and utilities necessary to maintain and operate the public lighting improvements or appurtenant facilities in order to provide adequate illumination.

City’s Streetlight System
The City’s streetlight system consists of streetlights which are owned by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and streetlights that are owned by the City of Solana Beach. A listing (printout) showing the type, size, location and ownership of the specific streetlights in the City is on file in the Office of the City Engineer. There are currently 801 streetlights in the District of which 149 are located on circulation element streets such as Highway 101, Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Via De La Valle, Cedros Avenue, San Andres Drive, Highland Avenue and Stevens Avenue. The remaining 652 streetlights are located on local streets. Approximately 274 streetlights are owned and maintained by SDG&E and the remaining 527 streetlights are owned and maintained by the City of Solana Beach. The City pays SDG&E for the use of their streetlights. For the purpose of this report, all lights have been analyzed regardless of ownership. Additionally, there are 247 bollard lights and 16 pedestrian pole lights on the Coastal Rail Trail that are included in the District.

Streetlight Retrofit
In April 2012, the City entered into an agreement with Chevron Energy Solution (Chevron ES) for a series of energy efficient projects, which included retrofitting all Cityowned streetlights to the latest LED technology. This project replaced the approximately two-thirds of the streetlights throughout the City that are owned and operated by the City. The remaining one-third of the streetlights were not retrofitted because they are owned and operated by SDG&E. Because of this partial ownership arrangement, a few streetlights in some neighborhoods remained unchanged.

Capital Improvement Projects
Since the City-owned streetlights were converted to LED fixtures in 2012, there was not a need for a capital improvement project for the streetlights this past year. 6 Method of Apportionment
The 1972 Act requires that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost for the proportional benefit conferred to that parcel. To establish the benefit to the individual lots or parcels within the district, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”) system based on land use is used along with special consideration based on City’s “Dark Sky Zone”. Each parcel of land in the District was determined by the Engineering Department to have a specific land use. Each land use type was assigned a land use factor determined by trip generation rates developed by San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG). If a land use was not included in the SANDAG’s study, the Engineering Department made a determination as to its probable trip generation compared to that of a single family residential and assigned a land use factor accordingly. Single-family residential units were assigned a land use factor of 1.0 regardless of its size. The theory is that all single-family residential units, regardless of parcel size, generate approximately the same number of trips and therefore receive the same benefit from the use of streets and their appurtenances such as streetlights.

Under this method, vacant lots are assigned an EBU of “0”. Exhibit 2 provides the EBU determination for all land uses within the City.

District Financing
The District will be financed by assessing a benefit assessment and by using the District’s share of 1.0 percent ad valorem tax revenues. The amount to be generated from the benefit assessment is $8.80 per benefit unit in Zone “A” and $1.62 per benefit unit in Zone “B”. As mentioned above, the total amount of revenue to be generated by assessment was calculated from a methodology, which identifies two benefit zones within the District. This methodology assumes that circulation element streetlights provide City-wide benefit and therefore properties located in Zone “B”, the Dark Sky Zone properties, are assessed for this portion of the District’s expenses only. Properties located within Zone “A” are assessed for expenses associated with the streetlights located on the circulation element streets as well as those on local streets. Both the circulation element streetlight benefit and local streetlight benefit are allotted in proportion to the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) generated by properties within the District to establish equivalent benefit charge per property. These are estimates only because the County Assessor’s information will not be available until August 2024. The City does not assess governmental agencies owning properties within the District. See Exhibit 3 for the proposed District budget.

Assessment Roll
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the parcel as shown on the County Assessor’s map for the year in which this Report is prepared. 7 A listing of parcels assessed within the District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, has been submitted to the City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report. Said listing of parcels to be assessed shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2024/2025. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Calculation of Assessment Fees
Following is a calculation of assessment fees for the Solana Beach Lighting District.

There are two zones in this lighting district; Zone “A” and Zone “B”.

DERIVATION OF STREETLIGHT BENEFIT UNITS
Traffic generation rates are derived from a report issued by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) dated April 2002. The information in the report is based on the San Diego Traffic Generators manual. Land uses are defined by the County Assessor. Using traffic generated by single family dwellings as 10 per dwelling unit (d.u.) or 40 per acre, the derivation of Benefit Units from land use is as follows:

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 22, 2024
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolution 2024-060 Ratifying the Interim City Manager’s Decision to Execute Change Order No. 1 to the Construction Contract for
Exterior Painting and Stucco Repairs at City Hall with
Polychrome Construction, Inc., Accept this Project as
Complete and Authorize the City Clerk to File a Notice of Completion
BACKGROUND:

The City of Solana Beach City Hall building was last painted in 2007 and was in need of exterior painting and stucco repairs. Due to the coastal environment, exterior painting and stucco repairs were necessary, as the City Hall building provides essential services to the community. The Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 appropriated $125,000 in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for exterior painting and stucco repairs for the City Hall Facility.

In October 2023, Staff issued a Request for Bids (RFB), Bid No. 2023-10, via an electronic bid site to solicit proposals from firms qualified to provide painting and stucco repair services. Seven bids were received by the closing date. On November 14, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., the City Clerk’s Office opened the bids and read them publicly.

On December 13, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with Polychrome Construction, Inc. (Polychrome) for painting and stucco repairs at City Hall, Resolution 2023-131.

This item is before the City Council for the consideration of Resolution 2024-060 (Attachment 1) that would ratify the Interim City Manager’s decision to execute Change Order No. 1 to the construction contract with Polychrome, report the final project costs, accept the project as complete and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion (NOC).

May 22, 2024
Change Order No. 1 and NOC - Polychrome Construction, Inc.

DISCUSSION:

During the stucco repair process, it was discovered that additional measures were needed to protect the building from moisture infiltration. Polychrome recommended the use of the Tremco Solargard Hy-Build Fibrous Elastomeric (Tremco) product, a highquality product known for its effectiveness in waterproofing and moisture protection. In several instances, and especially during the 2024 storm events, water intrusion caused significant damage to the City Hall building, such as carpet, drywall, and tile damage, leading to costly repairs. Utilizing the Tremco’s waterproofing solutions would have effectively prevented many, if not most, of these issues by providing a durable barrier against moisture penetration. After careful consideration, the Interim City Manager decided to approve the use of the Tremco product for this purpose. This decision was made based on the contractor’s expertise and the product’s proven track record in similar projects. A copy of Change Order No. 1 is included with this Staff Report as Attachment

2. The Interim City Manager’s approval reflects a commitment to ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of the building, which ultimately benefits the community and City Staff by reducing the risk of future moisture-related issues. Although the amount of the change order was outside Interim City Manager’s limit as detailed in Section 3.08.105 (B) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, due to the short time frame for completion of this project (one week), there was not sufficient time to obtain City Council approval of the change order without unduly delaying the contractor and completion of the project.

Polychrome Construction, Inc., completed all work on this project in accordance with the approved plans and specifications of Bid No. 2023-10 to the satisfaction of the City Engineer on May 3, 2024.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Exempt pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 appropriated $125,000 in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for exterior painting and stucco repairs for the City Hall Facility.

The City Council approved a construction contract with Polychrome Construction, Inc., in the amount of $47,745, and a recommended contingency amount of $7,161 (15%), for a total amount of $54,906.

City Staff is recommending that the City Council ratify the Interim City Manager’s decision to approve the use of the Tremco product, at a cost of $39,085, bringing the final contract May 22, 2024
Change Order No. 1 and NOC - Polychrome Construction, Inc.

Page 3 of 3 ends

amount to $86,830. Please note that there was a remaining balance of $70,094 for FY 2023/24 in the CIP project fund would more than offset this additional expenditure.

RE: Tremco Waterproofing Material Coating for Selected walls of City Hall

PROPOSAL
Dear Mr. Sammak,
Submitted herewith is our proposal for the Exterior waterproofing of selected exterior walls as per our site visit on April 25, 2024. After examining the areas of the exterior walls that appear to have the water intrusion issue, we are suspecting that the walls are failing to protect the building from water penetration at the upper rooftop areas where the wall fuses into what can be considered a partial roof. When rainfall conditions exist, the rain hits the horizontal surface area of the wall/roof of the building at a higher velocity than the vertical part of the wall therefore encouraging water penetration to occur. It appears that those areas of the walls that take a curvature are prone to conditions that a proper roof would encounter therefore a suitable roofinglike coating should mitigate the water intrusion problem.

We recommend the Tremco Solargard Hy-Build Fibrous Elastomeric. It is a water-based, acrylic, elastomeric roof and wall coating formulated to provide a tough, durable, flexible, breathable film protection of previously painted or unpainted masonry walls.

The walls to receive the Tremco Solargard Hy-Build will be power washed to remove all dirt, debris, algae, and dust in order to create a clean substrate for the coating to adhere to. Any loose or peeling paint and damaged stucco will be scraped and removed, and any cracks will be filled with elastomeric caulking and stucco patch to blend with the existing texture. (This cleaning and prepping procedure is documented here as a formality and the city is not being charged for it in this quote as it is already included in the painting contract that already exists). (1)
~OLYC~Romt: 'I__:: CONSTRUCTION , INC
Once the surfaces are prepped, they will receive a coat of Tremco Solargard Hy-Build in white to a mil thickness of 24 wet mils. Once the Material is dry ( usually 24 hr wait time ) then it will be ready to be top coated with the Loxon Flat paint (this is part of the original painting contract and separate of this quote).

Price includes all Material, Prevailing wage Labor and Boom Lifts. $ 39,085.00 (Thirty-Nine Thousand and Eighty-Five Dollars and Zero cents) Regards,

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 22, 2024
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Request for a Time Extension for an Approved Conditional Use Permit Modification for the
Construction of a 60-Foot-Long Drilled Micropile/Caisson Return Wall at the Southern Terminus of the Seawall on the Coastal Bluff Below 135 S. Sierra Avenue, Solana Beach.

Case No: TE23-002; Applicant: Las Brisas HOA, APN: 298- 010-51-01 to 36 Resolution 2024-029
BACKGROUND:

The Applicant, Las Brisas Homeowners Association, is requesting a 12-month time extension to the Conditional Use Permit Modification (CUP mod.) originally approved on February 9, 2022, with the adoption of Resolution 2022-013, to construct a Bluff Retention Device (BRD) consisting of a return wall that would extend from the top of the southern terminus of the existing seawall approximately 60 feet to the top of the bluff. The shotcrete wall would be constructed with a drilled micropier/caisson design with structural concrete between piers. The exposed areas of the wall would be covered with hand sculpted, colored shotcrete to match the natural bluff surface and color. Areas of failed mid-to upper-bluff, north of the wall, will be reconstructed with geogrid and soil and covered with a hydroseed application that would utilize drought resistant, salt tolerant native species.

The return wall would encapsulate and restore the bluff to an acceptable factor of safety for the existing residential structures onsite at 135 S. Sierra Avenue. The project would also allow public pedestrian access and public agency vehicle access near the top of the bluff that is currently closed.

The project was set to expire 24 months from the original approval date; therefore, it was set to expire February 9, 2024. The Applicant applied for the extension request on December 7, 2023. The permit expiration is considered to be on hold until the City Council is able to make a determination on the project.

This item is before the City Council to consider adoption of Resolution 2024-028 (Attachment 1) approving the Applicant’s request to formally extend the project approval as provided under the Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) 17.72.110 for 12 months starting from the original expiration date of February 9, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

In 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-013 conditionally approving a CUP mod. for the construction of the BRD and upper bluff restoration. The previous City Council agenda packet has been provided for reference in Attachment 2.

Prior to the expiration date, the Applicant had obtained California Coastal Commission (CCC) approval of the project and had obtained a grading permit issued by the City of Solana Beach. When holding a pre-construction meeting onsite, the contractor the Applicant had retained to perform the work backed out of the contract due to the conditions of the site. The Applicant had to find and retain another qualified contractor to do the work. Once a new contractor was retained, new engineering plans had to be drawn up as the previous firm retained the ownership of the previous plans. The Applicant determined they were not going to be able to complete this prior to the discretionary expiration date, therefore, they requested the project extension.

The approval under Resolution 2022-013 was set to expire on February 9, 2024. The Applicant submitted a formal application on December 7, 2023, more than 60 days before the expiration date in accordance with SBMC Section 17.72.110. The Code indicates that:

One or more (but not more than a total of four) extensions may be granted not exceeding a cumulative total of 24 months after the date the original approval of the project expires. The duration of an extension shall be in an increment of 30 days. The minimum duration of an extension shall be six months. The maximum duration of an extension shall not be more than 12 months. The duration of an extension shall be determined at the discretion of the issuing authority.

The Applicant is requesting to extend the expiration by 12 months to February 9, 2025, due to the unique circumstances of the project and the restricted construction times for coastal bluff projects. The extension would allow the Applicant sufficient time to process a revision to the CCC permit and the grading permit, if necessary, obtain authorization from the CCC and the associated grading permit required by the City and start construction. The project extension application (Attachment 4) indicates how they will use the 12-month extension period to obtain the required permits and commence construction.

SBMC Section 17.72.110 establishes that City Council action is required to review and act on a request for an extension of a CUP mod. when City Council was the original approving body. The City Council may extend the approval of a project if they are able to make the seven (7) required findings, which are as follows:

1. The applicant has presented facts which establish that the applicant has timely and diligently pursued issuance of a building permit during the 24-month period following the issuance of the original approval for the project (or the different period set forth as a condition of approval of the project) or during the then current extension period;

2. Circumstances beyond the applicant’s control have intervened and prevented the applicant from obtaining the issuance of a building permit for the project prior to expiration of the 24-month period (or the expiration date established as a condition of the approval) or during the then current extension period;

3. The application for the extension sets forth a reasonable and substantial factual basis for issuance of the extension;

4. There is a substantial factual basis to determine that the applicant will be able to perform the actions necessary to obtain issuance of a building permit prior to expiration of the requested extension;

5. The duration of the extension requested by the applicant is no longer than is reasonably necessary to perform the actions necessary to obtain the issuance of a building permit;

6. There have not been any significant changes in the general plan, applicable specific plan, if any, zoning, or character of the area within which the project is located that would cause the approved project to become inconsistent, incompatible, or nonconforming therewith; and

7. The granting of an extension shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

The draft Resolution of Approval has been prepared by Staff for the consideration of the City Council. The draft Resolution is based upon the information provided in this report.

The City Council may direct Staff to modify Resolution 2024-029 to reflect the findings and conditions it deems appropriate as a part of the public hearing process. In the alternative, if the City Council determines the request is to be denied, Staff will prepare a Resolution of Denial for an action to be taken at a subsequent City Council meeting.

Notices of a Public Hearing for this project were mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site more than 10 days prior to the City Council date. As of the date of preparation of this Staff Report, no phone calls, letters, or emails have been received by Staff in regard to the extension request.

Request for a Conditional Use Permit for the
Construction of a Bluff Retention Device at 135 S. Sierra Avenue, Solana Beach. Case No: CUP 17-17-27;
Applicant: Las Brisas Homeowners Association
Resolution 2022-013.

The Applicant, the Las Brisas Homeowners Association, is requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct a Bluff Retention Device (BRO) consisting of a return wall that would extend from the top of the southern terminus of the existing seawall to the top of the bluff approximately 60 feet. The shotcrete wall would be constructed with a drilled pier/caisson design with structural concrete between piers. Exposed areas of the wall would be covered with hand sculpted, colored shotcrete to match the natural bluff surface and color. Areas of failed mid to upper bluff to the north of the wall will be reconstructed with geogrid and soil and covered with a hydroseed application that would utilize drought resistant, salt tolerant native species. The return wall would encapsulate and restore the bluff to an acceptable factor of safety for the existing residential structures onsite at 135 S. Sierra Avenue. The project would also allow public pedestrian access and public agency vehicle access near the top of the bluff that is currently closed.

This issue before the City Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny the Applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as contained in Resolution 2022-013 (Attachment 1 ).

DISCUSSION:

The existing approximately 2.19-acre property is developed with two four-story and one three-story condominium buildings, a one-story clubhouse, a swimming pool, a tennis court and associated underground utilities, retaining walls and vehicular and pedestrian hardscape and landscaping. At the closest point, the separation between the foundation of the CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

westernmost condominium building (building 3) and the coastal bluff edge is approximately 27 feet.

The lower coastal bluff is protected by an existing Bluff Retention Device (BRD)/seawall that is approximately 120 feet long and 35 feet high that is restrained with three rows of 75-footlong tiebacks and covered by hand-sculpted and colored shotcrete. Above the wall, geogrid reinforced fill was placed on top of the BRO to an approximate elevation of 45 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to create a transition between the top of the BRO and the upper bluff.

The City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit to construct the BRO/Seawall in 2004 with the adoption of Resolution 2004-171.

In 2010, a significant failure occurred along the section of lower coastal bluff beginning at the southern terminus of the Las Brisas seawall and extending south approximately 70 feet across the unprotected bluff face along the Surfsong Condominium Association property line.

Undercut depths in the failure area had reached depths of 5 to 8 feet. The failure occurred along a joint at the base of the undercut area. According to the application, this failure resulted in a loss of 5 to 8 feet in depth of the coastal bluff adjacent to the Surfsong property.

The failure exposed approximately 7 to 8 feet of the southern end of the Las Brisas seawall.

In 2010, the Applicant requested and received approval of a Development Review Permit to construct a new segment of seawall that was an 8 foot long, 2.5 foot wide and 35 foot tall lateral return wall at the south end of the existing 120 foot long, 35 foot high seawall under an Emergency Permit. The Emergency Permit was issued by the California Coastal Commission as it was found to be the least amount of work necessary to restore the design parameters of the existing seawall and assure the factor of safety for the blufflop residences remains consistent with that provided by the seawall.

After the completion of the work, the Applicant was required to submit monitoring reports annually for the first three years and then every three years for the life of the BRO. In the 2012 monitoring report, it was noted that the exposure of the clean sand lens had expanded to the north and behind the seawall approximately seven feet north of the Las Brisas southern property line. The report indicated that this concern could expand further with time and on-going monitoring was advised. In the 2015 report, there was minor progression of erosion at the northern end of the seawall at the level of the exposed clean sand lens.

In 2019, there was a significant failure immediately south of the existing seawall. This failure has undergone progressive headward retreat since that time which has impacted a recorded easement for public agency vehicles, including emergency vehicles. As a result, public pedestrian access from Fletcher Cove across the Las Brisas Property into a public open space area on the adjacent Surfsong Condominium property to the south has been closed.

As indicated in the geotechnical reports provided by the Applicant and reviewed by the City's third-party geotechnical engineer, the proposed project would fully encapsulate the Las Brisas Property and return the property to a level of safety that would allow the City to reopen the rear of the property to pedestrian and public agency vehicular access. Project plans have been provided in Attachment 2.

The proposed project design is consistent with portions of Figure 3 and Figure 5, Appendix B included as Attachment 3 in the City's Certified Land Use Plan (LUP) which depicts the City's preferred engineered solution for a coastal bluff experiencing active lower, mid and upper bluff erosion.

This CUP application is before the City Council because the bluff area located below and along the project site has been determined to meet the criteria of imminent failure. The generally accepted factor of safety calculation for purposes of determining bluff stability and the potential for imminent failure is a factor of safety of 1 .2 or less. The factors of safety onsite range from 1.021 to 1.19, thus meeting the criteria for imminent failure.

The existing conditions are the result of several factors including, but not limited to, recent failures immediately adjacent to these properties and the exposure of the clean sand lens which both result in undermining of the existing seawall. Las Brisas was advised that this will be a reoccurring issue due to the continued failure of the exposed clean sand lens at the southerly terminus.

Table 1, below, demonstrates the existing factor of safety versus the factor of safety with proposed project improvements under both static and seismic conditions. A factor of safety equal to or less than 1 .0 represents a slope that is structurally failing whereby the bluff top principal structures are considered in "imminent danger" from potential bluff collapse and/or failure.

Solana Beach Local Coastal Program
A consistency finding with the City's Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) is required for the proposed project. The City's LUP policies were certified to be consistent with Coastal Act Section 30235 which states: Revetments, breakwaters, groins, harbor channels, seawalls, cliff retaining walls, and other such construction that alters natural shoreline processes shall be permitted when required to serve coastal-dependent uses or to protect February 9 ,2022

existing structures or public beaches in danger from erosion, and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply.

Applicable City policies from the City's Certified LUP (as amended) are listed below followed by a discussion of how the project complies or has been conditioned to comply with the City's applicable and relevant LUP policies.
• Certified LUP Policy 4.26 (irrigation controls for bluff properties) • Certified LUP Policy 4.27 (use of drought resistant landscaping) • Certified LUP Policy 4.28 (stormwater runoff)
• Certified LUP Policy 4.32 (use of preferred engineering designs) • Certified LUP Policy 4.38 (aesthetics)
• Certified LUP Policy 4.39 (payment of mitigation fees) • Certified LUP Policy 4.45 (bluff retention device design) • Certified LUP Policy 4.49 (findings)
• Certified LUP Policy 4.50 (impact mitigation fees)
• Certified LUP Policy 4.54 (shoreline protection device maintenance) • Certified LUP Policy 4.55 (coordination among neighbors) • Certified LUP Policy 4.58 (development on the bluff)
Policy 4.26: With respect to bluff properties only, the City will require the removal or capping of any permanent irrigation system within 100 feet of the bluff edge in connection with issuance of discretionary permits for new development, redevelopment, or shoreline protection, or bluff erosion, unless the bluff property owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director, or the CCC if the project is appealed, that such irrigation has no material impact on bluff erosion (e.g., watering hanging plants over hardscape which drains to the street).
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.26: The project has been conditioned to require the removal or capping of any permanent irrigation system within 100 feet of the bluff edge.

Policy 4.27: Require all bluff property landscaping for new development to consist of native, non-invasive, drought-tolerant, fire-resistant, and salt-tolerant species. • Project Compliance with Policy 4.27: After the return wall has been constructed, a reinforced soil slope (RSS) would be constructed to repair the mid and upper bluff.

The RSS would consist of geotextile grids that would be pinned to the slope with hand driven mechanical anchors and covered with soil and a hydroseed application that would utilize drought resistant, salt tolerant native species. The proposed hydroseed mix (Attachment 4) has been reviewed by the City's third-party landscape architect and have been found to be consistent with this policy.

Policy 4.28: All storm water drain systems that currently drain or previously drained towards the west over the bluff shall be capped. These systems should be redesigned to drain directly, or through a sump system, and then pumped to the street in compliance with SWP 2007-0001 and consistent with SUSMP requirements. This policy shall be implemented as a February 9 ,2022
CUP20-004 mod.

Las Brisas HOA

condition of approval for all discretionary permits issued for bluff properties or within 5 years of adoption of the LCP, whichever is sooner.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.28: The project has been conditioned to require that all storm water drain systems that currently drain towards the west over the bluff be capped.

Policy 4.32: When bluff retention devices are unavoidable, encourage applicants to pursue preferred bluff retention designs as depicted in Appendix B of the LUP when required to protect an existing principal structure in danger from erosion. All future bluff retention device applications should utilize these designs as the basis of site-specific engineering drawings to ensure consistency with the LUP.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.32: The project has been designed to be consistent with a mixture of the engineering requirements of Figure 3 and Figure 4 of LUP Appendix B.

Policy 4.38: Maximize the natural, aesthetic appeal and scenic beauty of the beaches and bluffs by avoiding and minimizing the size of bluff retention devices, preserving the maximum amount of unaltered or natural bluff face, and minimizing encroachment of the bluff retention device on the beach, to the extent feasible, while ensuring that any such bluff retention device accomplishes its intended purpose of protecting existing principal structures in danger from erosion.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.38: The project has been designed to be the minimum size required to stabilize the bluff and protect the existing bluff top structures (Building 3) and the City infrastructure. An alternatives analysis was prepared for the proposed project and is contained in Attachment 5.

Policy 4.39: Provide for reasonable and feasible mitigation for the impacts of all bluff retention devices which consists of the payment of Sand Mitigation Fees and Public Recreation Fees to the City or other assessing agency.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.39: The project has been conditioned to mitigate for all impacts related to sand supply and public recreation through the payment of impact mitigation fees.

Policy 4.45: The City has adopted preferred bluff retention solutions (see Appendix B) to streamline and expedite the City permit process for bluff retention devices. The preferred bluff retention solutions are designed to meet the following goals and objectives:
(1) Locate bluff retention devices as far landward as feasible; (2) Minimize alteration of the bluff face;
(3) Minimize visual impacts from public viewing areas; , (4) Minimize impacts to adjacent properties including public bluffs and beach area; and,
(5) Conduct annual visual inspection and maintenance as needed.

The bluff property owner's licensed Civil or Geotechnical Engineer must examine the device for use in the specific location and take responsibility for the design as the Engineer of Record.

The Bluff Property Owner shall arrange for and pay the costs of:
(1) The licensed Geotechnical or Civil Engineer;
(2) The bluff retention device;
(3) A bond to ensure completion of the bluff retention device; (4) Appropriate mitigation; and
(5) All necessary repairs, maintenance, and if needed removal. • Project Compliance with Policy 4.45: The project Applicant has paid for their licensed Geotechnical Engineer and will pay the construction costs for the bluff retention device and will be conditioned to pay the City a bond to ensure completion of the bluff retention device. Sand Supply and Public Recreation Impact Mitigation fees are required to be paid by the Applicant prior to issuance of the construction permit.

The Applicant will be responsible for all necessary future repairs and maintenance.

Policy 4.49: Coastal structures shall be approved by the City only if all the following applicable findings can be made and the stated criteria satisfied. The permit shall be valid until the currently existing structure requiring protection is redeveloped (per definition of Bluff Top Redevelopment in the LUP), is no longer present, or no longer requires a protective device, whichever occurs first and subject to an encroachment/removal agreement approved by the City.
(a) Based upon the advice and recommendation of a licensed Geotechnical or Civil Engineer, the City makes the findings set forth below.
(1) A bluff failure is imminent that would threaten a bluff home, city facility, city infrastructure, and/or other principal structure.
(2) The coastal structure is more likely than not to preclude the need for a larger coastal structure or upper bluff retention structure. Taking into consideration any applicable conditions of previous permit approvals for development at the subject site, a determination must be made based on a detailed alternatives analysis that none of the following alternatives to the coastal structure are currently feasible, including:
• A Seacave/Notch Infill;
• A smaller coastal structure; or
• Other remedial measures capable of protecting the bluff home, city facility, non-city-owned utilities, and/or city infrastructure, which might include or other non-beach and bluff face stabilizing measures, taking into account impacts on the near and long term integrity and appearance of the natural bluff face, and contiguous bluff properties;
(3) The bluff property owner did not create the necessity for the coastal structure by unreasonably failing to implement generally accepted erosion and drainage control measures, such as reasonable management of surface drainage, plantings and irrigation, or by otherwise unreasonably acting or failing to act with respect to the bluff property. In determining whether or not the bluff February 9 ,2022
CUP20-004 mod.

Las Brisas HOA

Page 7 of 11 ends

property owner's actions were reasonable, the City shall take into account whether or not the bluff property owner acted intentionally, with or without knowledge, and shall consider all other relevant credible scientific evidence, as well as, relevant facts and circumstances.
(4) The location, size, design and operational characteristics of the proposed coastal structure will not create a significant adverse effect on adjacent public or private property, natural resources, or public use of, or access to, the beach, beyond the environmental impact typically associated with a similar coastal structure and the coastal structure is the minimum size necessary to protect the principal structure, has been designed to minimize all environmental impacts, and provides mitigation for all coastal and environmental impacts, as provided for in this LCP.
(b) The coastal structure shall meet City Design Standards, which shall include the following criteria to ensure the coastal structure will be:
(1) Constructed to resemble as closely as possible the natural color, texture and form of the adjacent bluffs;
(2) Landscaped, contoured, maintained and repaired to blend in with the existing environment;
(3) Designed so that it will serve its primary purpose of protecting the bluff home or other principal structure, provided all other requirements under the implementing ordinances are satisfied, with minimal adverse impacts to the bluff face;
(4) Reduced in size and scope, to the extent feasible, without adversely impacting the applicant's bluff property and other properties; and
(5) Placed at the most feasible landward location considering the importance of preserving the maximum amount of natural bluff and ensuring adequate bluff stability to protect the bluff home, City facility, or City infrastructure.
(c) Mitigation for the impacts to shoreline and sand supply, public access and recreation and any other relevant coastal resource impacted by the coastal structure is required and shall be assessed in 20-year increments, starting with the building permit completion certification date. Property owners shall apply for a CDP amendment prior to expiration of each 20-year mitigation period, proposing mitigation for coastal resource impacts associated with retention of the coastal structure beyond the preceding 20-year mitigation period and shall include consideration of alternative feasible measures in which the permittee can modify the coastal structure to lessen the coastal structure's impacts in coastal resources. Monitoring reports to the City and the Coastal Commission shall be required every five years from the date of the CDP issuance until CDP expiration, which evaluate whether or not the coastal structure is still required to protect the existing structure it was designed to protect.

• Project Compliance with Policy 4.49: An alternatives analysis is included in Attachment 5. Alternatives considered but rejected include: the proposed project, a seawall extension and no project. The City's third-party geotechnical engineer has confirmed that the project complies with, or has satisfied all of the findings required in, this policy (Attachment 6). Imminent bluff failure potential has been confirmed based on the factors of safety as shown in Table 1 shown previously in this report. The project has been designed consistent with the engineering design requirements of Figure 3 and Figure 4, Appendix B of the LUP. Mitigation has been imposed on the project as a condition of approval.

Policy 4.50: The bluff property owner shall pay for the cost of the coastal structure or Infill and pay a Sand Mitigation Fee and a Public Recreation Fee per LUP Policy 4.39. These mitigation fees are not intended to be duplicative with fees assessed by other agencies. It is anticipated the fees assessed as required by this LCP will be in conjunction with, and not duplicative of, the mitigation fees typically assessed by the CCC and the CSLC for impacts to coastal resources from shoreline protective devices.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.50: The project will be required to mitigate all sand supply and public recreation impacts through the payment of mitigation fees to the City. The Applicant will also be required to obtain all necessary permits and approvals from the CCC and the CSLC prior to the City issuance of a construction permit.

Policy 4.54: Any bluff retention device shall be reasonably maintained and repaired by the bluff property owner on an "as needed" basis, at the bluff property owner's expense, in accordance with the implementing ordinances and any permit issued by the City. Any authorized assessing entity in which the project lies shall ensure such payments are reimbursed to the City if the bluff property owner fails to perform such work and the City elects to do so, subject to mandatory reimbursement. However, in all cases, after inspection, it is apparent that repair and maintenance is necessary, including maintenance of the color of the structures to ensure a continued match with the surrounding native bluffs, the bluff property owner or assessing entity shall contact the City or CCC office to determine whether permits are necessary, and, if necessary, shall subsequently apply for a coastal development permit for the required maintenance.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.54: The project has been conditioned to include a requirement that the proposed project be repaired and maintained as needed for the life of the structure.

Policy 4.55: To achieve a well maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and safer shoreline, coordination among property owners regarding maintenance and repair of all bluff retention devices is strongly encouraged. This may a/so result in cost savings through the realization of economies of scale to achieve these goals by coordination through an assessing entity. All bluff retention devices existing as of the date of certification of the LCP, to the extent they do not conform to the requirements of the LCP, shall be deemed non-conforming. A bluff property owner may elect to conform his/her/its bluff property or bluff retention device to the LCP at any time if the City finds that an existing bluff retention device that is required to protect existing principal structures in danger from erosion is structurally unsound, is unsafe, February 9 ,2022

or is materially jeopardizing contiguous private or public principal structures for which there is no other adequate and feasible solution, then the City may require reconstruction of the bluff retention device.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.55: The subject CUP application was collectively submitted by the Las Brisas Condominium Homeowners Association.

Policy 4.58: Development on the bluffs, including the construction of a bluff retention device, shall include measures to ensure that:
• No stockpiling of dirt or construction materials shall occur on the beach; • All grading shall be properly covered and sandbags and/or ditches shall be used to prevent runoff and siltation;
• Measures to control erosion shall be implemented at the end of each day's work; • No machinery shall be allowed in the intertidal zone at any time to the extent feasible; • All construction debris shall be properly collected and removed from the beach.

Shotcretelconcrete shall be contained through the use of tarps or similar barriers that completely enclose the application area and that prevent shotcretelconcrete contact with beach sands and/or coastal waters.
• Project Compliance with Policy 4.58: Compliance with the requirements of this policy have been included as engineering conditions of approval.

Resolution No. 2022-013 (Attachment 1) contains citations to relevant policies of the City's LUP as conditions of approval.

Sand Mitigation Fee and Public Recreation Impact Mitigation Fee Deposit As a condition of their 2005 Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to construct the existing seawall below the Las Brisas Condominiums, the Applicant was required to pay a fee of $309,000 for, "the loss of sandy beach area and thus the loss of public recreational impacts" as well as "$22,977.36 for the loss of sand." The proposed lateral return wall would be constructed to retain the beach sands behind the existing seawall for which mitigation fees were already paid, therefore, no additional mitigation fees are required with this permit.

Compliance with Solana Beach Certified LUP Policies
Staff has evaluated the CUP application taking into account the following factors: (1) the relevant policies of the City's Certified LUP; (2) the conclusions drawn by the (a) City of Solana Beach's independent third-party geotechnical consultant CTE, INC. regarding the need for the project and the appropriateness of the proposed bluff stabilization devices and (b) the City of Solana Beach City Engineer conditions of approval; and (3) the Applicant's geotechnical reports and supplemental alternatives analysis (Attachments 7, 8, and 9).

After evaluating the Coastal Bluff Evaluation and Project Recommendations from TerraCosta Consulting Group, The Bluff Stabilization Engineering Design Report from GeoStabilization International and the Geotechnical Update and Response to comments from GeoSoils, Inc. provided by the Applicant and included in Attachments 7, 8, and 9, and the third-party review February 9 ,2022

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The proposed project proposed to extend a lateral retention wall from the southern terminus of the existing lower coastal bluff seawall to the top of the failed bluff. The project would also propose reconstruction of a relatively small area of failed mid-to-upper bluff below Las Brisas Condominiums utilizing geogrid / soil, and applying hydroseed consisting of drought-tolerant, salt-resistant native plant species. The alternatives to this project are limited and determined to be infeasible. They are addressed below.

ALTERNATIVE #1: No Project
A No Project alternative would allow a significant failure that has already reached the top of the coastal bluff to continue to extend landward toward the residential structure. Based on the existing slope stability evaluation for the project site, a No Project alternative would result in the very near future loss of the public pedestrian easement that extend from Fletcher Cove south across the rear yard (adjacent to top of bluff) of Las Brisas Condominiums. Emergency public agency vehicle access also served by this easement will be lost. Due to the significant of the ongoing failure, this access has already been temporarily closed by the City of Solana Beach. Further, it the access has already been impacted by the failure at the southern property line of Las Brisas Condominiums.

A No Project Alternative that allows the failure to continue unimpeded would also result in the likely near future impact to the southwestern residential building on the Las Brisas site. The geotechnical / factor of safety evaluation for this building notes that a single additional event failure at the top of bluff could place the building under imminent threat of damage.

Base on this analysis a No Project Alternative is not a viable response to the existing, and ongoing failure conditions at this site.

ALTERNATIVE #2: Placement of a below-grade caisson/grade beam/ tieback system set back from the top of bluff, extending north from the southerly boundary for a span of+/- 25', and extending east along the southerly boundary for a span of+/- 16'.

This alternative would acknowledge that the failure will be allowed to continue upslope until such time has it exposes the caisson system. When that event occurs, the caisson system would receive an additional row of tiebacks and a sculpted and color-treated shotcrete wall covering.

Alternative #2 would provide sufficient protection to the southwesterly residential building on the Las Brisas site, but it would result in the total loss of the existing public access easement that was required as a condition of the complex's initial approval. It would also result in the continuation of mid-to upper bluff failure below the condominium units and would therefore likely need to be extended further to the north as the mid-to-upper bluff continued to fail in that direction.
