STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works Department, Luis Carrillo - Deputy Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Amending the Professional Services Agreement with Seaside Heating and Air for the Replacements of HVAC
Units and HVAC Control System
BACKGROUND:

An essential component of the City’s facility maintenance program is the upkeep and repair of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems at City Hall, Public Works Maintenance Facility, La Colonia Community Center, Fletcher Cove Community Center, the Marine Safety Center, and the Fire Station. These services are delivered by professional contractors selected through a competitive procurement process managed by the Public Works Department. The terms of the contract with the City’s current service provider, Seaside Heating and Air, will expire in June 2027.

This item is before the City Council for the consideration of Resolution 2025-108 (Attachment 1) to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Seaside Heating and Air (Seaside), the City’s current service provider, for the replacement of two rooftop HVAC units at City Hall, one rooftop unit and HVAC control system at La Colonia Community Center, and two rooftop HVAC units at the Fire Station, in the amount of $72,750, with a recommended contingency of $3,250.

DISCUSSION:

Seaside currently provides quarterly Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance and as-needed repair services for City facilities under the City’s existing Professional Services Agreement (PSA). These services cover City Hall, La Colonia Community Center, Fletcher Cove Community Center, the Marine Safety Center, and the October 22, 2025
PSA Amendment with Seaside Heating and Air

Fire Station, and include routine inspections, filter replacement, minor repairs, and replacement of HVAC units when required. Seaside also conducts an annual evaluation of all HVAC units, assessing age, maintenance history, and industry standards. The resulting reports provide City Staff with clear recommendations for unit replacement ensuring efficiency, reliability, and compliance with best practices in facility management.

Two rooftop units at City Hall, one unit at La Colonia Community Center, and two units at the Fire Station have exceeded their expected service life of approximately 15 years.

Continued repair of these units is no longer cost-effective, and one of the units at City Hall is currently out of service, making replacement the most practical option. Staff also recommends installing a new HVAC control system at La Colonia Community Center.

The control system will improve energy efficiency, allow remote monitoring and adjustments, better regulate system performance, and reduce long-term operating costs.

To minimize disruption, replacements at City Hall and La Colonia Community Center will be scheduled on a Friday when City Hall is closed, while coordination with Fire Department personnel will ensure essential operations continue uninterrupted.

Procurement Method
The rooftop units and controllers will be procured in accordance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA), which streamlines smaller public works projects while maintaining transparency and competitiveness. City Council adopted Ordinance 477 (Attachment 2) in June 2017, approving the City’s flexibility in awarding public contracts, while maintaining Council control, transparency, accountability and a level playing field for contractors.

In May 2025, Staff advertised in various trade journals and developed a Qualified Bidder’s List. Public Works Staff solicited proposals from three contractors on the City’s Qualified Bidders List with an active C-20 (HVAC) license. Two firms did not respond, and one, Seaside, submitted a responsive and responsible proposal consistent with City requirements for the equipment and installation. Proceeding with Seaside ensures compliance with CUPCCAA, avoids duplicative procurement, and provides the most efficient path to deliver these critical facility improvements.

The original PSA with Seaside, authorized by Resolution 2022-091, was awarded through a competitive process and included preventative maintenance, as-needed repairs, and the replacement of HVAC units and central control systems at City facilities in Fiscal Year 2022-23. Because the proposed replacements are consistent with the scope of work under the original PSA, Staff recommends an amendment to incorporate the planned replacements at City Hall, La Colonia Community Center, and the Fire Station.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

All work covered by this agreement is exempt per Section 15301(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

There are sufficient funds available in the FY 2025/26 Budget for the project and no budget transfers are necessary.

WORK PLAN:

As outlined under the Public Buildings & Facilities section of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Work Plan, the City is implementing a scheduled replacement of HVAC systems at City Hall, La Colonia Community Center, and the Fire Station. Work on critical building systems addresses deferred maintenance and aligns with the City's goals for reliable facility operations and energy efficiency.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works Department – Luis Carrillo, Deputy Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Amending the Professional Services Agreement with Real Estate Consulting and Services, Inc., for On-Call, AsNeeded Repair Services for Fiscal Year 2025/26 BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is responsible for the inspection, repair, and regulatory compliance of City facilities, including the Fire Station, City Hall, Marine Safety Building, La Colonia Park and Community Center, Fletcher Cove Park and Community Center, Public Works Maintenance Facility, and electrical systems along the Coastal Rail Trail.

City Staff utilize outside handyman services, selected through a competitive selection process, for supplemental general contracting and electrical repair services on City facilities. The current contract with Real Estate Consulting and Services, Inc. (Real Estate), is set to remain in effect until 2029, if all discretionary extensions are executed.

This item is before the City Council for consideration of Resolution 2025-109 (Attachment 1) to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the PSA with Real Estate, the City’s current service provider, for the installation of two water refill stations, at City Hall and Fletcher Cove Community Center, in the amount of $6,691.85.

DISCUSSION:

At the City Council meeting on April 10, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution 2024-031, awarding a five-year Professional Services Agreement (PSA), one initial year with four discretionary annual extensions, for handyman services to Real Estate Consulting Services, Inc., (Real Estate). The PSA was established with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $50,000.

The agreement provides the Public Works Department with on-call support for a wide range of maintenance and repair needs at City facilities, including carpentry, electrical, October 22, 2025

concrete, masonry, drywall, plumbing, and other related trades. The Public Works Department manages this agreement by coordinating and overseeing all work requests, ensuring that services are completed in accordance with City standards and within established timelines. Staff work directly with Real Estate to prioritize projects, monitor progress, and verify the quality of work performed.

The City of Solana Beach was awarded $5,000 through the CalRecycle Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program to support initiatives aimed at achieving and maintaining an 80% recycling rate for all California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers. Eligible uses include beverage container recycling infrastructure, litter reduction efforts, and the installation of public water refill stations to reduce reliance on single-use plastic bottles. The City currently has $1,691.85 in unspent grant funds from the 2022–2026 cycle, which must be used by March 1, 2026, and the full $5,000 must be spent by January 5, 2027.

To make full use of the available funding, City Staff recommend amending the PSA with Real Estate to include the installation of two water refill stations, one at City Hall and one at the Fletcher Cove Community Center, for a total of $6,691.85. The amendment is necessary to ensure adequate contract capacity remains for other planned projects this fiscal year. These hydration stations will improve public access to clean drinking water, promote the use of reusable bottles, and advance the City’s sustainability goals by reducing single-use plastic waste and litter.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

All work covered by this agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This item is to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the PSA with Real Estate for the installation of two water refill stations at City Hall and Fletcher Cove Community Center, in the amount of $6,691.85. There is sufficient budget available in the CalRecycle Grant Account (2465200-65300).

The current PSA with Real Estate is for a total not to exceed amount of $50,000 per fiscal year. The amendment would increase the compensation by $6,691.85, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $56,691.85 for Fiscal Year 2025/26 only. The additional cost will be covered by the CalRecycle grant funding.

WORK PLAN:

The proposed agreement aligns with the Work Plan priority Environmental Sustainability and Energy. This project aligns with the City’s Climate Action Plan, in particular, Measure W-1: Divert solid waste from landfill. Reducing waste and promoting sustainability through October 22, 2025

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Real Estate Consulting and Services, Inc., to install water refill stations at City Hall and Fletcher Cove Community Center during Fiscal Year 2025/26, which would increase the Agreement by $6,691.85 for a total amount not to exceed $56,691.85 for Fiscal Year 2025/26 only.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development – Joseph Lim, Director SUBJECT: Introduce (1st Reading) Ordinance 540 – Building and Fire Code Updates
BACKGROUND:

On October 26, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2022 California Building Standards Code with the approval of Ordinance 527. The International Building Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, the National Electrical Code and the California Fire Code are the basis of the California Building Standards Code. These codes have now been replaced by the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code that was adopted by the California Building Standards Commission on July 1, 2025. The new codes will go into effect beginning January 1, 2026.

This item is before the Council to consider introduction of Ordinance 540 (Attachment 1), approving the proposed Building and Fire Code updates with local amendments, additions, and deletions.

DISCUSSION:

The model building codes are typically updated every three years. The codes are amended and adopted by the State of California Building Standards Commission. The California Health and Safety Code requires that each jurisdiction in the state adopt the most recent edition of the Building Code and Fire Codes. If it is not adopted by a jurisdiction, it has the force of law 180 days after publication. State law requires that local jurisdictions enforce the state adopted codes as the minimum standard for construction.

The Building Codes contain general building design and construction requirements relating to fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. The Fire Codes contain regulations consistent with nationally recognized and accepted practices for safeguarding life and property from the hazards of fire, explosion, and hazardous materials. The Energy Code contains requirements for building energy efficiency and October 22, 2025

conservation. The Green Building Standards Code, also referred to as CALGreen, contains regulations for water efficiency and conservation, material conservation and resource efficiency, environmental quality, and more.

The following highlight the changes from previous Building and Fire Code adoptions:
1) A portion of the Green Building Reach Code that had been previously adopted is no longer applicable. Therefore, it is proposed to strike certain sections regarding EV Chargers and solar installations because the new 2025 Green Building Code already includes these provisions as mandatory. 2) A portion of the 2025 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) is proposed to be amended to be consistent with Defensible Space Requirements.

The IPMC was originally adopted during the 2022 Building and Fire Code update.

The IPMC gives building, fire and code staff additional tools to ensure properties are maintained in a sanitary and safe condition, minimize public nuisances, and reduce wildfire risks.
3) Staff is also including a local amendment requiring Additional (Secondary) Access for Single-family and multiple-family residential developments within the Very High or High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The purpose of this local amendment is to ensure emergency ingress and egress for residents, visitors and emergency response personnel within these Very High and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, as designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
4) Also included in the draft amendments is a local requirement for all residential buildings to be equipped with vents that are approved as wildfire flame- and ember-resistant. Section 504.10 Vents is a Special Building Construction Regulation that would apply to all new construction, remodels, alterations, additions, and reroof applications throughout the City. 5) The most significant change to Title 15 is the proposed inclusion of 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code and additional local amendments that are intended to improve safety and resiliency, encourage hardening strategies, and reduce vulnerability of existing and proposed structures from embers and wildfires.

The proposed Ordinance 540 would update the provisions of Title 15 of the Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) to be consistent with the current State mandated fire and building code editions. The adoption of this local amendment, and more stringent standards, is supported in the findings. The City may only locally amend these State codes when a finding can be made that certain local physical conditions exist to support the necessity for a local amendment. No changes to Building or Energy Reach Codes are proposed that would amend existing codes; all previously approved Reach Codes would apply with the exception of the deletion noted above.

ORDINANCE 540

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOLANA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RESCINDING TITLE 15, CHAPTERS 15.04, 15.08, 15.10, 15.12, 15.16, 15.20, 15.22, 15.23, 15.24; 15.28,

15.24, 15.32, 15.33, 15.34 AND 15.35 REGARDING THE 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDES, THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE; THE 2019 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUIDING CODE; THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA WILDLAND URBAN-INTERFACE CODE; THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE, THE 2025 CALIFORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE; AND THE 2025 CALIFORNIA REFERENCED STANDARDS CODE.

WHEREAS, the City of Solana Beach last revised its construction codes in 2022; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code section 17958 requires that cities adopt building regulations that are substantially the same as those adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and contained in the California Building Standards: and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the modifications and changes to the Uniform Codes are reasonably necessary because of the following climatic, geologic, and topographical conditions:

1. The City is situated in hilly, inland terrain. Approximately 50% of the area, for fire purposes, is wildland, covered by native vegetation on steep inaccessible hillsides.

The native ground cover is highly combustible grasses, dense brush and chaparral. Natural firebreaks in these areas are insignificant.

2. The climate is warm and dry. The winds prevail from the west with seasonal strong dry east winds that vary in duration and intensity. These winds can significantly enlarge wildland fire as well as cause abrupt and unpredictable changes in fire direction. Temperatures ranging between 75 and 100 degrees F are common throughout the year.

3. The potential for fire damage is great in the wildland area, as such, a fire can spread rapidly, and difficult terrain and explosive vegetation can slow response time.

Ordinance 540

Page 2 of 43 ends

4. Rural roads include many narrow winding roadways, often with grades in excess of that necessary for optimal response time for large fire apparatus. An additional factor affecting response time is the distance between the two fire stations and the fire location.

5. The water supply is limited making it necessary for fire apparatus to travel time consuming distances to refill once their initial water supply has been utilized.

WHEREAS, as required by Health and Safety Code section 17958 the City of Solana Beach does herewith make express findings that amendments to the California Building Standards Code are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare due certain climatic, topographic or geological features existing in the City of Solana Beach. The City Council hereby makes the following findings concerning the special circumstances and the climatic, topographic and geological conditions that: (a) exist in the City of Solana Beach: (b) increase the exposure of the public to the dangers of fire; (c) could severely restrict the response of emergency services to fire dangers; and (d) can be mitigated by amendments to the international fire and construction codes:

1. The City of Solana Beach is bisected by a major transportation corridor (Interstate 5) which traverses in a north/south direction. Interstate 5 is used to transport hazardous materials and is designated by the State of California as an approved route for transporting highly toxic and radioactive materials.

The City of Solana Beach is bisected by a railroad line running north/south.

Hazardous materials are transported on the railroad.

Underground pipes run parallel to the railroad line and carry natural gas under high pressure. Underground pipes run in a north/south direction in the eastern portion of the City and carry liquid petroleum under high pressure.

The transport, through the City, of hazardous, toxic and radioactive materials, as well as natural gas and liquid petroleum, on a regular basis, increases the threat of fire ignition and spread. This adds to the fire danger posed by the City’s climatic, topographic and geological conditions.

2. The City of Solana Beach topography is characterized by many large hillsides.

The City’s climate promotes the heavy growth of natural vegetation that covers the hillsides and is highly flammable, especially in the dry season. There are numerous areas of wildland-urban interface where structures, especially residences, are in close proximity to the natural vegetation.

The City’s climate is characterized by Santa Ana conditions involving dry gusty winds. In summer and fall, the typical weather is hot and dry. In combination, these climatic conditions create an extreme fire danger to the community.

Ordinance 540

Page 3 of 43 ends

Seasonal winds also have the potential for impeding emergency vehicle access by toppling trees (especially eucalyptus and pine which is a species that is prevalent in the City and susceptible to being felled by winds). As a result of the above conditions, the risk of fire ignition is greater. Also, once a fire is ignited, it is more likely that embers will be blown into the air, increasing the spread of the fire into the community. Therefore, land use projects need to be developed to provide a greater ability to avoid fire ignition, suppress fires, and facilitate access of emergency vehicles.

3. The City of Solana Beach is situated on the west slope of the coastal foothills that contain drainages, which contribute to flooding within the community.

Because flooding conditions can impede fire service vehicles reaching the site of a fire, land use projects need to be developed to provide a greater ability to avoid fire ignition, suppress fires, and facilitate access of emergency vehicles.

4. The City of Solana Beach is situated near the Rose Canyon Fault, the Elsinore Fault, and the Agua Caliente Fault. A cluster of faults known as the “South Coast Offshore Zone of Deformation” is located off the City’s coast. These geologic conditions are capable of generating earthquakes of significant magnitude at any time.

An earthquake may: (1) cause fires; (2) impede emergency vehicles responding to fires; and (3) interrupt the City’s water supply which is needed to fight fires.

Because the community is subject to damage from earthquakes, land use projects need to be developed to provide a greater ability to avoid fire ignition, suppress fires, and facilitate access of emergency vehicles.

5. The City of Solana Beach and Southern California are semi-arid regions and experience water shortages from time to time. Those shortages can have a severely adverse effect on water availability for firefighting. Fires starting in sprinkled buildings are typically controlled by one to three sprinkler heads, flowing as little as 13 gallons per minute.

Hose streams used by engine companies on well-established structure fires operate at approximately 250 gallons per minute each, and the estimated water needed for a typical residential fire is 1,250 to 1,500 gallons per minute, according to the Insurance Service Office and the International Fire Code.

The water estimate for a commercial building is typically greater than that of a residential structure.

Under circumstances such as; lack of water, infrastructure, earthquakes, multiple fires and wildland fires within a community, the limited water demand needs of residential fire sprinklers would control and extinguish many fires before they Ordinance 540

Page 4 of 43 ends

spread from building to wildland or building to building. In such a disaster, water demands needed for conflagration firefighting probably would not be available.

6. Due to the sloping topography and coastal foothills in the City of Solana Beach, the potential exists that new and future development will result in taller buildings on smaller parcels. Defining mid-rise buildings from 75 feet in height to 4 story modifies the application of special provisions for these buildings to all occupancies.

Because of the need to mitigate the potential danger of mid-rise this change is necessary.

7. In addition, the limitations of available firefighting equipment, limited availability of human resources in local fire departments, and the necessity to climb vertically up flights of stairs, greatly impacting the response time to reach an incident scene, it is necessary to define the height of mid-rise buildings. The reduced height and built in protection will mitigate extended fire department response time and keep incidents manageable. Based upon the circumstances previously described, the protection of persons and property requires the City to adopt standards that are more stringent than those set forth in: (1) the State Building Standards Code Sections 202, 308, 321, 503, 507, 902, 903, 905, 5608, 5704, 5706, 6104, B, I and Section 3 of the International Fire Code.

8. WHEREAS, California Assembly Bill 130 (2025) establishes a statewide moratorium on local code amendments applicable to residential units between October 1, 2025 and June 1, 2031, unless certain conditions are met, as enumerated in Section 17958 of the Health and Safety Code, including that the amendments are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed with the Building Standards Commission and were in effect on and prior to September 30, 2025; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Solana Beach finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)3 in that the adoption of the State mandated building codes as proposed could not cause an adverse impact on the environment.

The City Council finds and determines that proposed amendments to the California Green Building standards are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare due to certain climatic, topographic or geological features and are substantially equivalent to amendments adopted, filed and in effect prior to September 30, 2025. The Council finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein as findings and determinations of the City Council. The recitals constitute findings in this matter and, together with the staff report, other written reports, public testimony and other information contained in the record, are an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the actions taken in this Ordinance.

SECTION 2: The City Council of the City of Solana Beach hereby:

Page 6 of 43 ends

California Building Code which is based on the International Building Code, 2024 Edition and the adopted Appendix chapters, published by the California Building Standards Commission.

B. Findings. The City of Solana Beach has many large brush-covered hillsides. The City is subject to frequent Santa Ana conditions consisting of dry gusting winds, which create extreme fire dangers. The City Council specifically finds that these geographic and topographic conditions necessitate greater fire protection than that provided by the State Building Code. Therefore, this chapter alters the 2025 California Building Code, to require more fire-retardant roof coverings.

C. Deletions, revisions and additions to the 2025 California Building Code shall be as follows:

15.08.020 Section 105.1.3 added.

Permits shall not be issued for construction on a site until the Director of Community Development, or his designee, determines that all other development permits or approvals required by this code or city ordinance have been issued, and that all site preparation, grading or public improvement work has been satisfactorily completed to allow building permits to be issued, and so notifies the Building Official in writing.

Permits shall not be issued if the City Engineer determines that flooding or geologic conditions at the site endanger the public safety or welfare.

15.08.030 Section 105.8 added.
105.8 Progress of work and call for inspections.

1. The provisions of this subparagraph 1 shall apply to building permits issued for single family residential structures or accessory structures on lots zoned for single family dwellings.

All such work shall be completed not less than nine months after the issuance of the permit or within such shorter period of time as may be established by order of an officer or employee authorized to enforce the provisions of this code, or the city attorney, as a consequence of code enforcement activity. Extensions of time may be granted by the city council.

4. In addition to the other penalties, a violation by a permittee of the provisions of this subsection (f) shall be grounds for revocation of the permit.

5. In order to recommence work on a project for which the permit has been revoked under the provisions of this subsection (f), the permittee shall submit a new permit application accompanied by new full plan review fees and complete plans and specifications for review by all applicable agencies and/or City departments. Before a new permit can be issued, the permittee shall pay a new full permit fee. Failure to remove the partially completed work shall cause the work to be considered a dangerous building or structure and the City may proceed with abatement of the work as a public nuisance.

6.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department
SUBJECT: Approving an Amendment to the SANDAG 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program
BACKGROUND:

The City receives annual TransNet funding, a voter-approved, countywide half-cent sales tax administered by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). TransNet funds are used to support the City’s Annual Pavement Management Program and pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA improvements including curb ramps, crosswalks, and sidewalk connectivity.

This item is before the City Council to consider adopting Resolution 2025-113 (Attachment 1) amending the City’s Program of Projects (POP) included in the 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The amendment adjusts programmed TransNet funds to align with SANDAG’s updated revenue forecast, which has slightly decreased since the 2025 RTIP was adopted, and adds additional funding in future years to continue supporting the pavement management program.

DISCUSSION:

TransNet is a regional half-cent sales tax approved by San Diego County voters to fund transportation improvements across the region. First adopted in 1987, and extended in 2004 through 2048, the program provides a critical revenue source for highway, transit, and local street and road infrastructure. Administered by SANDAG, TransNet revenues are distributed to local jurisdictions through the Local Street Improvements (LSI) program, which supports investments in road maintenance, rehabilitation, and active transportation infrastructure. Each participating jurisdiction, including the City of Solana Beach, receives an annual allocation based on population and maintained road mileage.

To remain eligible for TransNet funding, jurisdictions must prepare a five-year Program of Projects (POP) every two years. Projects are reviewed and approved by SANDAG and October 22, 2025

integrated into the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). The RTIP is a planning document that lists all major transportation improvement projects for the region.

A transportation project generally has to be listed on the RTIP in order to be eligible for TransNet, State or federal funding. SANDAG prepares a five-year RTIP, and updates every two years with input provided from local agencies in the county.

SANDAG requires local agencies to submit a list of projects annually to be included in the RTIP. The project submittal must include evidence of formal action by the legislative body of the City, preferably by resolution. SANDAG also requires that the local agency hold a public hearing prior to adoption of the 2025 RTIP and any amendments. After all public agencies in the region submit a resolution to SANDAG approving their portion of the RTIP, SANDAG will then adopt the 2025 RTIP for the entire region. It is anticipated that SANDAG will adopt the amended RTIP in December 2025.

In May 2024, the City Council adopted the 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029 (Attachment 2), identifying projects to be funded using TransNet revenues. The list of projects includes three categories that include TransNet funding:
• Pavement Resurfacing: Funds are used for the City’s Annual Pavement Management Program and includes full-depth rehabilitation and overlays of roads and related infrastructure, including bike lanes and parking lanes. • Preventive Maintenance: Funds are used for the City’s Annual Pavement Management Program and include crack sealing, slurry sealing, localized repairs. • Sidewalks and Associated Street Improvements. Funds are used for pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA improvements including curb ramps, crosswalks, and sidewalk connectivity.

Following adoption of the program, SANDAG issued a revised TransNet revenue forecast, reflecting lower anticipated collections across the region, which requires the City to amend the 2025 RTIP. The City has advertised a public hearing for October 22, 2025, to receive public input with regard to the amended 2025 RTIP. The updated five-year forecast for the City is summarized below:

Forecast FY 2024-25 FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28 FY 2028-29 Previous $244,000 $250,000 $257,000 $272,000 $286,000
Revised $232,000 $234,000 $241,000 $254,000 $272,000
The above amounts exclude debt service payments for the Highway 101 Westside Improvements which is approximately $217,000 annually.

Attachment 3 lists seven projects in the 2025 RTIP: 1) Pavement Resurfacing, 2) Pavement Maintenance, 3) Sidewalks and Associated Street Improvements, 4) Lomas Santa Fe Drive Improvements, 5) Traffic Signal Upgrades, 6) Regional Greenhouse Gas Inventory Project, and 7) Glencrest Driveway Sidewalk Project. Of these, only the first October 22, 2025
RTIP Amendment

Page 3 of 4 ends

three projects, Pavement Resurfacing, Pavement Maintenance, and Sidewalks and Associated Street Improvements, receive TransNet LSI funding.

In addition to annual LSI revenue, unspent funds from prior years are carried forward and may be reprogrammed toward eligible projects. This amendment reflects the reduction in annual TransNet revenue forecast provided by SANDAG and reallocates additional carryover funding for the Pavement Resurfacing project in Fiscal Years 2027–28 and 2028–29. These funds will support the City’s future Annual Pavement Management Programs.

No changes are proposed for the other four projects at this time. While no new projects are being added as part of this amendment, the City may continue to modify or add projects through SANDAG’s quarterly amendment process if necessary and approved by the Council.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Section 15276 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines provides that “CEQA does not apply to the development or adoption of a regional transportation improvement program or the State transportation improvement program.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) also exempts activities from CEQA review that are not considered projects, such as government funding or fiscal activities that do not involve a commitment to a specific project. In addition, environmental review will be addressed prior to City Council approval to advertise construction bids for each project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY 2025 and FY 2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget appropriated $210,000 in TransNet funds for each year for the Annual Pavement Management Program. The budget amounts will be revised to match the TransNet funding programmed in this RTIP amendment of $230,000 for FY 2025 and FY 2026.

WORK PLAN:

While the RTIP is not specifically included in the Work Plan, the projects programmed in the RTIP are included in the Work Plan and Capital Improvement Plan, including: Annual Pavement Management Program, Traffic Signal Upgrades, Glencrest Sidewalk Improvements, Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Project, and Santa Helena Neighborhood Trail.

OPTIONS:
• Adopt Staff recommendation.
• Deny Staff recommendation.
• Provide direction to Staff.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department – Corey Andrews, City Planner
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Request for a DRP/SDP to Construct a New Two-Story, Single-Family Residence with Two Attached
Garages, a Covered Patio and Perform Associated Site
Improvements at 730 Ramona Place. (DRP24-016 SDP24-
009) Applicant: John Runager; APN: 298-391-08 Resolution 2025-095)
BACKGROUND:

The Applicant, John Runager, is requesting City Council approval of a Development Review Permit (DRP) and Structure Development Permit (SDP) to demolish the existing residence and construct a replacement two-story, single-family residence with an attached two car garage, an attached single car garage, a covered patio, and associated site improvements. The 21,729 square-foot lot is located in the Estate Residential (ER-2) Zone and the Dark Sky Area. The project proposes 540 cubic yards (CY) of cut, 170 CY of fill; 370 CY of export, of which 30 CY of excavation is for footings. The existing grade below the footprint of the proposed structure is between 225.62 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 228.13 MSL. A flat building pad is proposed at 225.45 MSL. The maximum height of the proposed residence would be 24.56 feet (250.01 MSL) above the proposed grade.

The project requires a DRP for proposed grading in excess of 100 cubic yards and a second floor that exceeds 35% of the floor area of the first floor. The project requires an SDP because the proposed residence will exceed 16 feet in height as measured from the pre-existing grade. The issue before the Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Applicant’s request for a DRP/SDP, as contained in Resolution 2025-095 (Attachment 1).

DISCUSSION:

October 22, 2025
DRP24-016/SDP24-009
730 Ramona Place – Runager Residence

Page 2 of 13 ends

The subject property is located on the southeast side of Ramona Place, two properties southwest of the intersection of Ramona Place and Highland Drive. The right-of-way slopes upward from the edge of the pavement of Ramona Place approximately 4 to 8 feet along the front property line with the steeper slope at the northwest corner of the lot. Once on the property, the topography of the lot is relatively flat with a total change in elevation of approximately four feet as you move southeast across the property. The Applicant is proposing to construct a replacement two-story, single-family residence with an attached two car garage, an additional attached single car garage, covered patio area and associated site improvements.

The City Council adopted the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP), which established policies for the protection of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA) and an ESHA Map. The ESHA Map (Exhibit 3-9, shown below) indicates that there is potentially sensitive habitat, specifically Coastal Sage-Chaparral Scrub, adjacent to the property. The site-specific analysis conducted by the Applicant’s consultant, Victor Novik of Victor Novik Consulting, and peer-reviewed by the City’s on-call environmental consultant, Harris and Associates, Inc. indicates that there are no impacts to ESHA associated with the project. Additional analysis of the project’s consistency with the LUP is provided later in this report.

Table 1 (below) provides a comparison of the SBMC applicable zoning regulations with the Applicant’s proposed design.

Staff has prepared draft findings for approval of the DRP in the attached Resolution 2025- 095 for Council’s consideration based upon the information in this report. The applicable SBMC sections are provided in italicized text and recommended conditions of approval from the Community Development, Engineering, and Fire Departments are incorporated in the DRP Resolution of Approval. The Council may direct Staff to modify the Resolution to reflect the findings and conditions it deems appropriate as a result of the Public Hearing process. If the Council determines the project is to be denied, Staff will prepare a Resolution of Denial for adoption at a subsequent Council meeting.

The following is a discussion of the findings for a DRP as each applies to the proposed project as well as references to recommended conditions of approval contained in Resolution 2025-095.

Development Review Permit Compliance (SBMC Section 17.68.40):

A DRP is required because the proposed development includes grading in excess of 100 cubic yards and because the second floor exceeds 35% of the floor area of the first floor.

The Council may approve, or conditionally approve, a DRP only if all of the findings listed below can be made. If the findings cannot be made, the Council shall deny the DRP.

Resolution 2025-095 provides a full discussion of the findings.

1. The proposed development is consistent with the general plan and all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance including special regulations, overlay zones, and specific plans.

2. The proposed development complies with the development review criteria.

3. All required permits and approvals issued by the city, including variances, conditional use permits, comprehensive sign plans, and coastal development permits have been obtained prior to or concurrently with the development review permit.

4. If the development project also requires a permit or approval to be issued by a state or federal agency, the city council may conditionally approve the development review permit upon the Applicant obtaining the required permit or approval from the other agency.

DRP Finding #1
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project may be found consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property as Estate Residential 2 and is intended for residences developed at a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre. Other compatible uses such as accessory dwelling units, home occupations, religious institutions, educational institutions, parks and recreation facilities, and public utilities are permitted or conditionally permitted. The proposed development could be found to be consistent with the objectives of the General Plan as it encourages the development and maintenance of healthy residential neighborhoods, the stability of transitional neighborhoods, and the rehabilitation of deteriorated neighborhoods.

Specific Plans and Special Overlays
The property is located in the Dark Sky Area, adjacent to potential ESHA, and within the Coastal Zone.

Dark Sky Area
In an effort to further control excessive or unnecessary outdoor light emissions, SBMC Section 17.60.060(C)(3) prohibits the outside illumination for aesthetic or dramatic purposes for a building and/or surrounding landscape, including environmentally sensitive habitat areas in the “Dark Sky” designated areas. These provisions allow for exterior lighting at egress points and stairways for safety purposes.

A condition of approval has been included in the draft Resolution of Approval to require compliance with the Dark Sky lighting provisions.

The City Council adopted an LCP/LUP on February 27, 2013 (amended and certified on June 11, 2014). Although the LUP has been certified by the California Coastal Commission, the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) portion of the LCP has not yet been certified; as such, the provisions of the LUP are considered to be advisory rather than mandatory at this time.

The purpose of the LUP is to implement the State’s goals for the coastal zone. The City’s LUP provides long-term goals that promote the beneficial use of lands in the City and the beach and shoreline for residents and visitors alike. The LUP includes regulations that prevent degradation of ESHA from new development.

As previously mentioned, there is mapped potential ESHA on properties adjacent to the subject site. The Applicant’s biological resources consultant, Victor Novick, concluded that the proposed project does not have a negative effect on sensitive species or habitat.

The analysis was peer-reviewed by the City’s environmental and biological consultants, Harris and Associates, Inc. and found to be complete and consistent with the provisions of the LUP and added the specific condition of approval which has been added to the attached resolution:

1. To avoid impacts to potential nesting birds if project-related vegetation clearing or construction activities occur during the avian breeding season (February 15 to September 15), a qualified biologist will conduct a nesting bird survey within the project site and a 500-foot buffer. If an active nest is found, a buffer of an appropriate distance/radius depending on bird species will be applied surrounding the nest until the nest is deemed no longer active (i.e., has fledged) by a qualified biologist. Impacts to the developed and landscaped areas would be less than significant.

Coastal Zone
The entire City of Solana Beach is located within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of project approval, the Applicant will be required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit, Waiver, or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of building or grading permits.

Zoning Ordinance Consistency
SBMC Section 17.20.010(C) specifies that the ER Zone is intended for residential development in areas characterized primarily by detached single-family homes on previously subdivided lots. SBMC Section 17.20.030 outlines property development regulations, which are analyzed below.

Minimum Yards/Setbacks:

Minimum yard dimensions (setbacks) for the ER Zone are determined by the setback designator indicated on the City of Solana Beach official zoning map. The setback October 22, 2025
DRP24-016/SDP24-009
730 Ramona Place – Runager Residence

Page 6 of 13 ends

designator for the subject property is “b”, which requires a 25-foot front yard setback, 10- foot street and interior side yard setbacks and a 40-foot rear yard setback. The lot has 159.70 feet of frontage on Ramona Place. The lot is irregular in shape with a curved northern property line and a straight southern property line. On average, the lot is approximately 211 feet in depth. The proposed project includes allowable encroachments into the side-yard setbacks, including a roof eave and an attached ADU that is not subject to discretionary review.

Maximum Floor Area Ratio:

The 21,729 square foot lot is located within the boundaries of the ER-2 Zone which has a tiered FAR calculation to determine the maximum allowable floor area. The maximum allowable floor area calculation for this project is as follows:

0.60 for first 5,000 ft2

0.30 for 5,000 to 20,000 ft2

0.15 for above 20,000 ft2
3,000 ft2
4,500 ft2
259 ft2
Maximum Allowable Floor Area: 7,759 ft2
The 1,966 square foot main floor living area consists of a central open kitchen and living room area with a pantry attached to the southern side of the kitchen and a bar area attached to the southern side of the living room, on the east side of the living room is a 640 square foot covered patio area. Only 37 square feet of the covered patio is considered covered and enclosed and included in the calculation of FAR. North of the open concept room is the entry way that has a ceiling height over 15 feet and is counted twice towards the FAR. There is also a powder room, a guest bedroom suite, and an attached two-car garage of 729 square feet. South of the open concept room an attached single-car garage of 277 square feet, and also an attached ADU that is not subject to discretionary review.

The proposed 1,969 square foot second floor consists of the primary bedroom suite, two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a gym. A 62-square foot covered patio (that is not included in the FAR) is proposed on the west side of the primary bedroom.

The SBMC parking regulations require two off-street parking spaces per single-family residence. When required spaces are provided in a garage, up to 200 square feet of floor area is exempted for each required space. The proposed residence includes an attached single car garage as well as an attached two-car garage for a total of 1,006 square feet of garage area. A total of three unobstructed parking spaces that are 9 ft. X 19 ft. are provided within the garage area. Therefore, the project is afforded a 400 square-foot exemption from gross floor area calculation. With this exemption, the total gross floor area of the project is 4,653 square feet, which is 3,106 square feet below the maximum allowable for the property.

Maximum Building Height:

The maximum building height for the ER Zone is 25 feet. The maximum building height of the residence is proposed to be 24.56 feet above the proposed grade or 250.01 MSL (pole #6 or #47). The proposed residence exceeds 16 feet in height from the pre-existing grade.

October 22, 2025
DRP24-016/SDP24-009
730 Ramona Place – Runager Residence

Page 7 of 13 ends

Therefore, the project is subject to the requirements of SBMC Chapter 17.63 – View Assessment which is discussed later in this report.

Required Off-Street Parking:

A single-family residence requires two off-street parking spaces, pursuant to SBMC Section 17.52.040 and the Off-Street Parking Design Manual (OSPDM). Three unobstructed 9-foot by 19-foot parking spaces are proposed in the attached garage areas.

Fences, Walls and Retaining Walls:

Within the front yard setback, the SBMC Section 17.20.040(O) allows fences and walls, or any combination thereof, to be no higher than 42 inches in height as measured from existing grade, except for an additional 2 feet that is at least 80% open to light. Fences, walls and retaining walls located within the rear and interior side yards are allowed to be up to 6 feet in height with an additional 2 feet that is 50% open to light and air.

A retaining wall is proposed along the north side of the reconstructed driveway that is located in the southwestern corner of the lot. The retaining wall would then follow the remainder of the front property line as well as the first 15 feet of the northern property line. This wall would be constructed to support the topography on the lot adjacent to the right-of-way modifications required in front of the lot. Due to the proposed grading, a majority of the wall would be constructed lower than the existing grade and would not exceed the maximum allowable height, however, from Ramona Place, the wall would range in height from approximately two feet to 4.5 feet above the proposed grade A five-foot high cedar wood fence is proposed from the southeastern corner of the proposed ADU and would follow the side and rear property lines and end at the northeastern corner of the residence to enclose the rear yard area.

Currently, the plans show fences and walls that comply with the requirements of SBMC

17.20.040(O) and 17.60.070(C). If the Applicant decides to modify any of the proposed fences and walls or construct additional fences and walls on the project site, a condition of project approval indicates that they would be required to comply with the Municipal Code.

Landscape:

Compliance with the current water efficient landscaping regulations of SBMC Chapter

17.56 and submittal of a Landscape Documentation Package is required for new development projects with an aggregate landscape equal to or greater than 500 square feet. The Applicant provided a conceptual landscape plan (including a planting plan and water use calculations) that has been reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect, who has recommended approval. The Applicant will be required to submit detailed construction landscape drawings that will be reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect for substantial conformance with the conceptual plan and consistency with the water efficient landscape regulations. In addition, the City’s third-party landscape October 22, 2025

Page 9 of 13 ends

The properties evaluated in this comparison are also located in the ER-2 Zone and the lot sizes range from approximately 20,038 square feet to 59,242 square feet. The surrounding properties are developed primarily with single-family homes ranging in size from 452 square feet to 6,391 square feet.

The existing square footage information is obtained through the County Assessor records.

It should be noted that the County Assessor does not include garages, covered patios or enclosed exterior areas, accessory buildings, or unfinished basements in the total square footage. Accordingly, the building area of the proposed project has been calculated for comparison purposes by deleting the area of the garage:

Project Gross Building Area: 5,053 ft2
Area with Ceiling Height in excess of 15 ft.: - 75 ft2
Delete covered and enclosed areas - 37 ft2
Delete Attached Garage: - 1,006 ft2
Project Area for Comparison to Assessor’s Data: 3,935 ft2 Table 2, on the following page, is based upon the County Assessor’s data and Nearmap data. It contains neighboring lot sizes, the square footage of existing development and the maximum allowable square footage for potential development on each lot.

Building and Structure Placement:

The proposed residence would be located within the buildable area of the lot. The highest point of the proposed residence would be 250.01 MSL and the tallest portion of the residence would be 24.56 feet above the proposed grade. The driveway access would remain in the southwest corner of the lot, however, the driveway will be reconstructed to accommodate the street improvements and a fire truck turn around. The driveway would also be extended to reach the new garage locations.

Landscape:

The proposed “conceptual” landscape plan includes a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcover. The City’s third-party landscape architect will review the construction drawings to verify consistency with the conceptual planting plan, ensuring that if alternative plantings are proposed, the mature heights would not exceed those shown on the conceptual plan considered by the City Council and included in Attachment 2. The City’s consultant will also perform an inspection after the landscape installation is complete to verify consistency with both the water efficient landscape regulations and the approved planting plan.

Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking, and Storage Areas:

October 22, 2025
DRP24-016/SDP24-009
730 Ramona Place – Runager Residence

Page 11 of 13 ends

Grading:

The Applicant is proposing approximately 540 cubic yards of cut, 170 cubic yards of fill, 30 cubic yards of excavation for footings and a total export of 370 cubic yards.

Some additional grading is proposed to provide a flat building pad at 225.45 MSL and to extend the usable flat rear yard area northeast corner of the lot.

Lighting:

The property is located within the Dark Sky Area. The intent of this area is to preserve the traditional semirural character and to maintain very low levels of nighttime illumination by limiting excessive or unnecessary outdoor light emissions which produce unwanted illumination of adjacent premises.

Two conditions of approval have been added to the resolution, the first requires that all new exterior lighting fixtures comply with the City-Wide Lighting Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (SBMC 17.60.060). All light fixtures shall be shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding area. The second condition prohibits outside illumination for aesthetic or dramatic purposes of any building and/or surrounding landscape, including environmentally sensitive habitat areas (public or private).

Usable Open Space:

The project consists of the construction of a replacement single-family residence with two attached garages and yard improvements; therefore, usable open space and recreational facilities are neither proposed nor required according to SBMC Section 17.20.040. As a condition of project approval, the Applicant will be required to pay the applicable Park Development Fee.

Structure Development Permit Compliance (SBMC Chapter 17.63):

The proposed structures would exceed 16 feet in height measured above the pre-existing grade, therefore, the project must comply with all View Assessment requirements of SBMC Chapter 17.63, and the Applicant was required to complete the SDP process. The Story Pole Height Certifications were finalized and certified by a licensed land surveyor October 22, 2025
DRP24-016/SDP24-009
730 Ramona Place – Runager Residence

Page 12 of 13 ends

on May 20, 2025. Notices were mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site establishing a deadline to file for View Assessment by June 30, 2025, per SBMC 17.63.040(D). By that date, there were no applications for View Assessment.

Therefore, if the City Council is able to make the findings to approve the project, the SDP would be approved administratively.

As a condition of approval, height certifications prepared by a licensed land surveyor would be required prior to the framing inspection certifying that the highest point of the residence will not exceed 24.56 feet or 250.01 MSL above the proposed grade of 225.45 MSL.

Property Frontage and Public Right-of-Way Improvements:

The existing property frontage is unimproved, with some vegetation and a non-standard driveway. If approved, the Applicant will be required to remove the existing landscaping and construct a 10-foot wide D.G. pathway graded at a 2% maximum slope for walking and parking purposes. In addition, construction of a 9-inch sloping concrete curb for drainage will be required if the project is approved. The driveway approach will also be reconstructed as a condition of approval to meet current standards.

Public Hearing Notice:

Notice of the City Council Public Hearing for the project was published in the Union Tribune more than 10 days prior to the public hearing. The same public notice was mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project site on October 8, 2025. As of the publication of this report, no correspondence has been received on the current design of the project.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Examples of this exemption include one single-family residence or second dwelling unit in a residential zone. In urbanized areas, up to three-single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
WORK PLAN: N/A
OPTIONS:
∙ Approve Staff recommendation adopting the attached Resolution 2025-095. ∙ Approve Staff recommendation subject to additional specific conditions necessary for the City Council to make all required findings for the approval of a DRP.

730 Ramona Place

Page 2 of 16 ends

I. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable requirements of SBMC Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance), including special regulations, overlay zones and specific plans.

General Plan Consistency: The proposed project is found to be consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property Estate Residential 2 and is intended for residences developed at a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre. Other compatible uses such as accessory dwelling units, home occupations, religious institutions, educational institutions, parks and recreation facilities, and public utilities are permitted or conditionally permitted. The proposed development could be found to be consistent with the objectives of the General Plan as it encourages the development and maintenance of healthy residential neighborhoods, the stability of transitional neighborhoods, and the rehabilitation of deteriorated neighborhoods.

The project is also located within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of project approval, the Applicant will be required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit, Waiver, or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of building or grading permits. Specific Plans and Special Overlays
The property is located in the Dark Sky Area, adjacent to potential ESHA, and within the Coastal Zone.

Dark Sky Area:

In an effort to further control excessive or unnecessary outdoor light emissions, SBMC Section 17.60.060(C)(3) prohibits the outside illumination for aesthetic or dramatic purposes for a building and/or surrounding landscape, including environmentally sensitive habitat areas in the “Dark Sky” designated areas. These provisions allow for exterior lighting at egress points and stairways for safety purposes.

A condition of approval has been included in this Resolution of Approval to require compliance with the Dark Sky lighting provisions.

Local Coastal Plan/Land Use Plan Consistency:

Resolution 2025-095
DRP24-016/SDP24-009- Runager-McNamee
730 Ramona Place

Page 3 of 16 ends

There is mapped potential ESHA on properties adjacent to the subject lot. The Applicant’s biological resources consultant, Victor Novick, concluded that the proposed project does not have a negative effect on sensitive species or habitat. The analysis was peer-reviewed by the City’s environmental and biological consultants, Harris and Associates, Inc. and found to be complete and consistent with the provisions of the LUP with the added condition of approval to avoid impacts to nesting birds during construction.

Coastal Zone:

The entire City of Solana Beach is located within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of project approval, the Applicant will be required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit, Waiver, or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of building or grading permits.

Zoning Ordinance Consistency: SBMC Section 17.20.010(C) specifies that the ER-2 Zone is intended for residential development in areas characterized by single-family homes on semirural estate lots of onehalf acre or larger. The estate sized parcels help preserve the natural terrain and minimize grading requirements. SBMC Section 17.20.030 outlines property development regulations, which are analyzed below.

Minimum Yards/Setbacks:

Minimum yard dimensions (setbacks) for the ER-2 Zone are determined by the setback designator indicated on the City of Solana Beach official zoning map. The setback designator for the subject property is “b”, which requires 25-foot front, 10-foot street and interior side yard setbacks and a 40-foot rear yard setback. The lot has 159.70 feet of frontage on Ramona Place. The lot is irregular in shape with a curved northern property line and a straight southern property line. On average, the lot is approximately 211 feet in depth. The proposed project includes allowable encroachments into the side-yard setbacks, including a roof eave and an attached ADU that is not subject to discretionary review.

Maximum Floor Area Ratio:

The maximum allowable floor area calculation for the 21,729 square foot lot is as follows:

Resolution 2025-095

0.15 for 15,000 ft2 and above
3,000 ft2
4,500 ft2
259 ft2
Maximum Allowable Floor Area: 7,759 ft2
The 1,966 square foot main floor living area consists of a central open kitchen and living room area with a pantry attached to the southern side of the kitchen and a bar area attached to the southern side of the living room, on the east side of the living room is a 640 square foot covered patio area. Only 37 square feet of the covered patio is considered covered and enclosed and included in the calculation of FAR. North of the open concept room is the entry way that has a ceiling height over 15 feet and is counted twice towards the FAR. There is also a powder room, a guest bedroom suite, and an attached two-car garage of 729 square feet. South of the open concept room an attached single-car garage of 277 square feet and an attached ADU that is not subject to discretionary review. The proposed 1,969 square foot second floor consists of the primary bedroom suite, two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a gym.

A 62-square foot covered patio (that is not included in the FAR) is proposed on the west side of the primary bedroom.

X 19 ft. are provided within the garage area. Therefore, the project is afforded a 400 square-foot exemption from gross floor area calculation.

With this exemption, the total gross floor area of the project is 4,653 square feet, which is 3,106 square feet below the maximum allowable for the property.

Maximum Building Height:

The maximum building height for the ER-2 Zone is 25 feet. The existing grade below the footprint of the proposed structure is between 225.62 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 228.13 MSL. A flat building pad is proposed at 225.45 MSL. The maximum height of the project is 24.56 feet above the proposed grade with the highest point at 250.01 MSL above the finished grade. The proposed addition exceeds 16 feet in height from the pre-existing grade. Therefore, the project is subject to the requirements of SBMC Chapter 17.63 – View Assessment which is discussed later in this report.

The Applicant will be required to submit detailed construction landscape drawings that will be reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect for substantial conformance with the conceptual plan and consistency with the water efficient landscape regulations. In addition, the City’s third-party landscape architect will perform an inspection during the construction phase of the project to verify consistency.

II. The proposed development complies with the following development review criteria set forth in Solana Beach Municipal Code Section

17.68.040.F:
a. Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses: The development shall be designed in a manner compatible with and where feasible, complimentary to existing and potential development in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Site planning on the perimeter of the development shall give consideration to the protection of surrounding areas from potential adverse effects, as well as protection of the property from adverse surrounding influences.

The property is located within the ER Zone and the Dark Sky Area as are the properties located in the immediate surrounding neighborhood on Highland Drive, Marine View Avenue, Ramona Place and Avocado Place. These properties are developed with a mix and one-and two-story single-family residences. The project, as designed, could be found consistent with the permitted uses for the ER-2 Zone as described in SBMC

The residence and attached ADU would be located in the
buildable area with a covered patio in the rear of the home. Yard improvements including grading, landscaping, hardscape, a hot tub, firepit, and bocce ball court are proposed. The proposed residence could be found to be designed to minimize adverse impacts on the surrounding properties.
c. Landscaping: The removal of significant native vegetation shall be minimized. Replacement vegetation and landscaping shall be compatible with the vegetation of the surrounding area. Trees and other large plantings shall not obstruct significant views when installed or at maturity.

The proposed landscape plan includes a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcover throughout the property. In addition to complying with the water efficient landscape regulations, the Applicant will also be required to submit a landscape
construction plan in substantial conformance with the conceptual planting plan. A condition has also been added to require that native or drought-tolerant and non-invasive plant materials and water-conserving irrigation systems are required to be
incorporated into the landscaping to the extent feasible. d. Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking and Storage Areas: Any development involving more than one building or structure shall provide common access roads and pedestrian walkways.

Parking and outside storage areas, where permitted, shall be screened from view to the extent feasible, by existing
topography, by the placement of buildings and structures, or by landscaping and plantings.

The proposed design includes 1,006 square feet of attached garage area in two garage areas. Three parking spaces that are 9 feet wide by 19 feet in length and free of obstruction would be provided within the garage. Pedestrian access to the property would be provided from the driveway. An enclosed trash and recycling storage area is proposed next to the garage within the side yard setback along the southern property line.
e. Grading: To the extent feasible, natural topography and scenic features of the site shall be retained and incorporated into the proposed development. Any grading or earth-moving operations in connection with the proposed development shall be planned and executed so as to blend with the existing terrain both on and adjacent to the site. Existing exposed or disturbed slopes shall be landscaped with native or naturalized non-native vegetation and existing erosion problems shall be corrected.

The Applicant is proposing approximately 540 cubic yards of cut, 170 cubic yards of fill, 30 cubic yards of excavation for footings and a total export of 370 cubic yards.

Grading is required along the front of the lot in order to provide the redesigned driveway, detention basin, and the necessary right-of-way improvements as required by the Fire Department and Engineering Department. The existing grade below the footprint of the proposed structure is between 225.62 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 228.13 MSL. Some additional grading is proposed to provide a flat building pad at 225.45 MSL and to extend the usable flat rear yard area northeast corner of the lot. f. Lighting: Light fixtures for walkways, parking areas, driveways, and other facilities shall be provided in sufficient number and at proper locations to assure safe and convenient nighttime use.

All light fixtures shall be appropriately shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding areas per SBMC 17.60.060 (Exterior Lighting Regulations).

The property is located within the Dark Sky Area. The intent of this area is to preserve the traditional semirural character and to maintain very low levels of nighttime illumination by limiting excessive or unnecessary outdoor light emissions which
produce unwanted illumination of adjacent premises.

Two conditions of approval have been added to this resolution, the first requires that all new exterior lighting fixtures comply with the City-Wide Lighting Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (SBMC 17.60.060). All light fixtures shall be shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding area. The second condition prohibits outside illumination for aesthetic or dramatic purposes of any building and/or
surrounding landscape, including environmentally sensitive habitat areas (public or private).
g. Usable Open Space: Recreational facilities proposed within required usable open space shall be located and designed to maintain essential open space values.

The project consists of the construction of a new single-family residence and site improvements; therefore, usable open space and recreational facilities are neither proposed nor required Resolution 2025-095
