STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Finance – Rachel Jacobs, Finance Director SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolutions 2026-050 Through 2026-053 Approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Municipal Improvement Districts Benefit (MID) Fees
BACKGROUND:
The four Municipal Improvement Districts (MIDs) in Solana Beach were originally formed pursuant to Government Code Section 25210.1 as County Service Areas (CSAs) prior to the incorporation of the City. The CSAs were formed by the County Board of Supervisors on the following dates:
Date Established
MID No. 9C Santa Fe Hills 03-24-69
MID No. 33 Highway 101/Railroad Right-of-Way 08-03-71
MID No. 9E Isla Verde 12-18-74
MID No. 9H San Elijo #2 10-10-77
Upon formation of these MIDs, the County also entered into landscaping and maintenance agreements with the homeowners’ associations and members of these CSAs under which the County provided various extended services and these CSAs provided a means to fund the extended services, which included landscaping and maintenance of streets, medians, slopes, certain drainage facilities, and appurtenant improvements in various areas of the County. These CSAs were further established so that local property owners within the prescribed boundaries of the special districts would be provided extended services.
After the landscaping and maintenance agreements with the County expired according to their terms, the CSAs functioned more like pass through entities, with the homeowners’ associations performing the services and getting reimbursed from the benefit fees (with the exception of MID No. 33). The property owners share the cost of the maintenance through service charges based on the benefit received. Upon incorporation, the City took over the management of the benefit fee assessments for these MIDs.
This item is before the Council to consider approval of Resolution 2026-050 through Resolution 2026-053 (Attachments 1 – 4) which set the benefit fees for the four MIDs and authorize the fees to be placed on the County Assessor Rolls.
Item J.4
June 10, 2026
FY27 MID Benefit Fees
DISCUSSION:
When the CSAs were formed, property owners within the boundary of the service area desired these extended miscellaneous services. These services were benefits received by the property owners and not originally supported by general revenues of the County.
These service areas were established as an alternate means of providing landscape maintenance services. The homeowners’ associations contract directly with a private landscape contractor to provide the landscaping services.
These services were also not supported by the City’s General Fund upon incorporation. As a result of the City’s July 1, 1986 incorporation, the CSAs were dissolved and replaced by the new "Municipal Improvement Districts" (MIDs). As part of the incorporation process, the City Council assumed the role of the Board of Supervisors for the new MIDs and the City has managed the MIDs since that time.
With the exception of MID No. 33, for which there is no homeowners’ association, the City provides three of the four districts with budgetary information upon which the annual fees are based. The City provides a service to these homeowners’ associations by translating each budget into a unit cost per parcel and then levying the required amount on the tax roll each year. The City also performs monthly inspections of the landscaping work and responds to complaints and inquiries.
The City receives a fee for providing the services to set and collect the landscape maintenance fee, conduct a monthly landscape inspection, track the income and interest earnings, process monthly payments, and compile the annual accounting information and provide it to the homeowners’ associations. The City also reviews each budget to ensure that all charges are related to the provision of extended services or administration of the MIDs.
MID No. 33 is the only MID for which services are not provided by a homeowners’ association. The oversight responsibility for the landscape maintenance is provided by the City's Public Works Department. A budget is produced each year by the City to provide funds for landscape maintenance within the service area. The assessment area for MID No. 33 includes all parcels west of Interstate 5 to the Pacific Ocean and from the San Elijo Lagoon south to Via de la Valle/Border Avenue.
The MID No. 33 service area was authorized to provide landscape improvements and maintenance for Highway 101 medians and the railroad right-of-way that is appurtenant to Highway 101. These landscaped medians were installed using funding provided by the County for select system roads which also require continued maintenance. MID No. 33 provides an alternate funding source for this public service in Solana Beach; however, this revenue is significantly less than the actual costs to maintain these areas. The maintenance is provided under contract with a landscape maintenance contractor as well as City Staff.
Item J.4

FY27 MID Benefit Fees
Because the MIDs were created prior to Proposition 218, the MID charges for MID No. 9C, No. 9E, No. 9H, and No. 33 may be levied as proposed without additional requirements so long as the amount of the charge does not exceed pre-November 1996 levels. The charges proposed are at the same rates they have been since their inception and are not being raised.
Since there is no legal requirement for a public hearing, the City has instead published a “Notice of Setting Various Fees for the Municipal Improvement Districts” notifying residents that they have the right to request that this item be removed from the consent agenda for discussion if required. That notice was published in the local newspaper on April 28, 2026.
Staff therefore recommends that the City Council approve the annual fees as outlined in the attached resolutions as follows: for MID No. 9C (Santa Fe Hills) at $232.10 per unit; MID No. 9E (Isla Verde) at $68.74 per unit; for MID No. 9H (San Elijo Hills #2) at $289.58 per unit; and for MID No. 33 at $3.12 per unit ($.06 per timeshare week).
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fee for each MID will generate the total annual benefit charge revenue, as shown below, to service the MID:

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Finance – Rachel Jacobs, Finance Director SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolution 2026-049 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Fire Benefit Fee
BACKGROUND:
On April 8, 1980, voters in the Solana Beach Fire Protection District (District) approved a Fire Benefit Fee (Fee) by more than a two-thirds vote in an amount not to exceed $10.00 per unit of benefit per year, on real property within the boundaries of the District. The District was subsequently merged with the City of Solana Beach (City) upon incorporation on July1, 1986, and the City now has the responsibility of administering this Fee. Because the Fee was adopted by the voters before the passage of Proposition 218, it is not subject to its requirements.
There is no legal requirement for a public hearing; however, the City has published a “Notice of Setting the Fire Benefit Fee” (Notice) to notify residents that they have the right to request that this item be removed from the consent agenda for discussion. The Notice was published in the local newspaper on April 29, 2026.
This item is before City Council to consider approval of Resolution 2026-049 (Attachment 1) setting the Fire Benefit Fee and authorizes the fee to be placed on the County Assessment rolls.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the City Council is required to formally set the Fire Benefit Fee for levying on the tax roll. Staff is recommending that the Fee remain at the same level for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 at $10.00 per benefit unit. This Fee has not been increased since it was approved by voters in 1980. In order to increase the Fire Benefit Fee, the City would need a public vote with two-thirds of the voters approving any increase.
Properties in the City would be charged an annual amount for the Fire Benefit Fee at $10.00 per benefit unit according to the schedule outlined on the next page.
ACTUAL LAND USE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS OF BENEFIT
Item J.5
June 10, 2026
FY27 Fire Benefit Fees
Unimproved 2 units per 1 acre and/or portion of 1 acre, up to 20 units per parcel
Residential 5 units per dwelling unit
Commercial 15 units per 1 acre and/or portion of 1 acre Industrial 20 units per 1 acre and/or portion of 1 acre Timeshares 1 unit per timeshare week (1/5 of residential) CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $10.00-per-benefit-unit fee raises approximately $450,000 per year that is used to assist in funding Fire Department operating expenses projected at $6,928,733 for FY 2026/27.
WORK PLAN:
N/A
OPTIONS:
• Approve staff recommendation.

CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Consider adoption of Resolution 2026-049
a. Setting the FY 2026/27 Fire Benefit Fee at $10.00 per unit, and b. Approving the Fee for levying on the tax roll.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department – Corey Andrews SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Request for a MOD and MEC to Construct a Fence Higher than the Maximum Fence and Wall Heights
on the Southern Property Line at 146 S. Granados Avenue (Applicant: Oliver and Shelli Pelly; Application: MOD26- 002/MEC26-002; APN: 298-093-90; Resolution No. 2026-
061)
BACKGROUND:
The property owners, Oliver and Shelli Pelly (herein referred to as “Applicant”), are requesting the approval of a Development Review Permit (DRP)/ Structure Development Pemrit (SDP) Modification (MOD25-001) in order to remove or modify a condition of approval from Resolution 2003-070 and a Minor Exception (MEC26-001) to allow for an increase to the maximum allowed fence height to provide additional privacy from the adjacent development on the property to the south.
The project was originally heard by the City Council on May 27, 2025. The May 27,2025 Staff Report, associated documents, and a video of the meeting can be found on the City’s website: City Council Meetings | Solana Beach On May 27, 2026 after opening the Public Hearing and receiving testimony from the Applicant and the Public, the City Council expressed that they could find that the physical conditions of the property have changed and that the conditions of approval restricting the fence height along the southern property line could be removed. However, they were not able to make the required findings to approve the MEC to alter the top two feet of an allowable 8-foot tall fence to be solid, or the Applicant’s request for two additional feet (for a total of up to 10 feet) with the information that they had at that time. The City Council shared concerns regarding the height of the fence and what adverse impacts, if any, could result for the neighbors in the project vicinity.
The Council requested that the Applicant erect a visual aid at the location of the proposed 10-foot high section of the fence so that they could visit both 146 S. Granados Ave. and the neighboring residence at 150 S. Granados Ave. and evaluate any potential impacts the proposed 10-foot fence may create.
Item K.1

MOD26-002/MEC26-002
146 S. Granados Ave – Pelly Residence
The issue before the Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Applicant’s requests as contained in Resolution 2026-061 (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION:
Since the May 27, 2026, City Council meeting, the Applicant erected two wooden poles onsite and attached two lengths of caution tape between each pole, for a length of approximately 45 feet. The Applicant took photos to verify the height of the wooden poles installed at the top of the slope. Staff is scheduled to visit both 150 S. Granados Avenue and 146 S. Granados Avenue and will take photos of the proposed fence location as illustrated with the two wooden poles and tape from each residence (See Attachment 2).
The City Council has been provided an opportunity to visit both properties and the surrounding neighborhood to evaluate any adverse impacts the proposed fence may cause. Any additional site visit or viewing from either property or the surrounding area will be required to be disclosed by the Councilmembers during the meeting on June 10, 2026.
No known follow up visits have been conducted at the time of publication of this report.
An updated version of Resolution 2026-061 is attached for the City Council’s consideration.
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 proposed development is to be denied, Staff will prepare a Resolution of Denial for adoption at a subsequent Council meeting.
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:

MOD26-002/MEC26-002
146 S. Granados Ave – Pelly Residence
CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed project meets the minimum zoning requirements under the SBMC, may be found to be consistent with the General Plan and may be found, as conditioned, to meet the discretionary findings required as discussed in this report to approve a MEC. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing: Open the Public Hearing, Report Council Disclosures, Receive Public Testimony, and Close the Public Hearing.
2. Find the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines; and
3. Find that the circumstances that warranted the conditions of approval in 2003, have changed and therefore, remove conditions of approval B.i and B.ii included in Resolution 2003-070.
4. If the City Council makes the requisite findings to approve a MEC adopt Resolution 2026-061 for a new fence on the southern property line between 146 and 150 S.
Granados Avenue, Solana Beach.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: City Manager’s Department – Nicole Grucky, Sustainability Program Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Resolution 2026- 067 Approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/2027 Solid Waste and Recycling Rate Increase for EDCO Waste and
Recycling Services
BACKGROUND:
The City of Solana Beach (City) has a Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with EDCO Waste and Recycling Services (EDCO) to provide residential and commercial solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services. Under the terms of the Agreement, EDCO may request a rate review annually to adjust the amount charged for providing services. The Agreement contains specific language regarding the rate review methodology. Rates may only be increased due to tipping fee (landfill disposal) and cost of living based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases on the base rate. The City is a member of the Regional Solid Waste Association (RSWA) that regulates the tipping fee for its member agencies. The proposed tipping fee and CPI increases are reviewed and approved by RSWA before being submitted to the City. City Staff then reviews the rate tables submitted by EDCO and, if appropriate, brings the requests before the City Council for consideration.
At the April 22, 2026, City Council meeting, Council authorized the City to proceed with the proper Proposition 218 noticing and majority protest voting procedures, including setting a Public Hearing to receive any protest votes for the solid waste and recycling rate increases.
This item is before the Council to conduct the protest hearing to receive any protests regarding the proposed residential and commercial solid waste rate increases for FY 2026/2027. If the City does not receive protest votes from more than fifty percent (50%) of property owners in the City, then the Council is requested to consider adopting Resolution 2026-067 (Attachment 1) approving the rate increase (Attachment 2) for residential and commercial solid waste and recycling services. As of the date of this report, the City has not received any letters of protest.
DISCUSSION:
Item K.2
June 10, 2026
Public Hearing – Solid Waste Rate Increases
EDCO has submitted a rate review adjustment request for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 (Attachment 2). The CPI increased 3.31% for the period from the second half of 2024 to the second half of 2025, and the tipping fee increased 3.01%, or $57.39 per ton to $59.32 per ton. Therefore, the proposed rate for residential services would increase from $31.60 to $32.58 for the standard 96-gallon cart and the commercial rate for the most common service (3-yard bin picked up one time per week) will increase from $137.93 to $141.94 (not including the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) fee).
In addition, to comply with SB 1383, the State’s organics recycling law, the City Council must consider an incremental increase in commercial organic collection rates that will vary for each customer, based upon service levels needed. The current commercial organics rate for a 65-gallon cart, serviced once per week, is $104.46 per month. The proposed commercial organics rate for the same level of service would increase to $107.91 per month.
The full rate review package can be found in Attachment 2. These requests must go through Proposition 218 noticing requirements, which Staff and EDCO have completed.
Residential and commercial customers received notification through the mail on the proposed rate increases and had a chance to submit a protest vote if they oppose. While the vote outcome will be revealed during the Public Hearing at this City Council meeting, as of the date of this report, the City has not received any letters of protest.
PROP 218 NOTICE:
Article III D, section 6(a) of the California Constitution, commonly known as Proposition 218, requires that the City conduct a protest hearing in order to increase solid waste service charges. Public notification letters for this public hearing were sent out to all property and business owners in the City on April 24, 2026, describing the rate adjustment requests and how to protest, if desired, as required by law. At the time of this Staff Report preparation, no letters of protests have been received by the City.
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
Not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 10% franchise fee will generate a small increase in the City’s solid waste revenue as a result of the minor increase in solid waste and recycling rates. The additional revenues are applied directly to offset City costs, including litter abatement, street sweeping, storm water reduction activities and administrative staff time.
WORK PLAN:
This item is not identified in the Work Plan as it is a reoccurring item under the existing Franchise Agreement.
Item K.2
June 10, 2026
Public Hearing – Solid Waste Rate Increases
OPTIONS:
• Approve staff recommendation.
• Deny staff recommendation and provide direction.
CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing: Open the Public Hearing; Report Council disclosures; Report written protests received; Receive Public Testimony; Close the Public Hearing.
2. Following the Public Hearing, consider adopting Resolution 2026-067 approving EDCO’s rate review request increasing solid waste, recycling, and organics rates for FY 2026/2027 in accordance with the Franchise Agreement. _________________________

Dear Nicole:
Family owned and operated EDCO is honored to serve the City of Solana Beach and fully committed to providing superior customer service to the community.
Consistent with the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement, annual rate adjustments are allowable based on increases in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area Consumer Price Index (CPI) and any applicable increases in solid waste tip fees under the Regional Solid Waste Association (RSWA) agreement, to which Solana Beach is a member. As such, EDCO is respectfully requesting a rate adjustment effective July 1, 2026.
CPI Adjustment
To calculate the CPI portion of the adjustment, the second half of the 2024 index (333.817) was compared to the second half of 2025 index (344.849) which produced a 11.032 point change or
3.31% increase. The CPI indexes are attached for your reference. The 3.31% increase is applied to current rates after franchise fees, AB939 and disposal fees are deducted from the current gross rate.
RSWA Disposal Fee Adjustment
The City is a member of RSWA that regulates waste disposal tipping fees for its member agencies.
Currently the tip fee for Solana Beach is $57.59 per ton. Effective July 1, 2026, the tip fee for Solana Beach will increase to $59.32, representing a 3.00% increase in the tip fee component of the rate calculation.
Rate Summary
The total fee adjustments as outlined above when applied will result in residential rates increasing from $31.60 per month to $32.58, an increase of $.98 per month per household for customers using a 96 Gallon Cart. Commercial rates for the most common service (a three cubic yard bin serviced once weekly) would increase from $137.93 to $141.94 or $4.01 per month. We propose implementing both residential and commercial rate changes on July 1, 2026.
Please feel free to review these adjustments and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Matthew Cleary
General Manager

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department - Orelia DeBraal, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopting the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2027 Through 2031
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 2026-068 (Attachment 1) adopting the City’s Program of Projects included in the 2027 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The Program of Projects allocates TransNet funds for Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031, to align with SANDAG’s revenue forecast.
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 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 Item K.3
June 10, 2026
2027 to 2031 TransNet Program
TransNet, State or federal funding. SANDAG prepares a five-year RTIP and provides updates every two years with input provided from local agencies in the county.
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 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 RTIP for the entire region. It is anticipated that SANDAG will adopt the 2027 RTIP in September 2026.
In May 2024, the City Council adopted the 2025 RTIP for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029, identifying projects to be funded using TransNet revenues. The project list remains the same for Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031:
• 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 roadway seals and localized repairs. • Sidewalks and Associated Street Improvements: Funds are used for pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA improvements including curb ramps, crosswalks, and sidewalk connectivity.
In addition to annual TransNet revenue, unspent funds from prior years are carried forward and made available for reprogramming. The proposed RTIP allocates both the annual and carryforward funds estimated by SANDAG:
FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 FY 2030 FY 2031 Total
Resurfacing $1,215,000 $259,000 $273,000 $288,000 $303,000 $2,338,000 Maintenance $50,000 $50,000 $100,000
Sidewalks $175,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $255,000 Total $1,390,000 $329,000 $343,000 $308,000 $323,000 $2,693,000 While no new projects are being added to the program, the City may continue to modify or add projects through SANDAG’s quarterly amendment process if necessary and approved by the Council.
Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program
Section 9A of the TransNet Extension Ordinance requires the City to exact a minimum fee of $3,109.88, plus all applicable annual increases, from the private sector for each newly constructed residential housing unit, unless exempted under the Ordinance, and contribute Item K.3
June 10, 2026
2027 to 2031 TransNet Program
such exactions to the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP).
The RTCIP is a regional impact fee program established to fund improvements to the Regional Arterial System (RAS) consistent with the expenditure priorities of the most recently adopted Regional Transportation Plan. Within Solana Beach, RAS roads include Lomas Santa Fe Avenue from I-5 to Highway 101 and Highway 101 from the City of Encinitas boundary to Via de la Valle.
RTCIP revenues may be used for capital costs associated with arterial widenings, extensions, and turning lanes; traffic signal coordination and other traffic improvements; reconfigured freeway-arterial interchanges; railroad grade separations; and expanded regional express bus service. Eligible costs include project administration and management, design and engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and construction.
Revenues may not be expended on road maintenance and must be expended within seven years of receipt, or the agency must have an approved expenditure plan justifying a longer retention period.
The City of Solana Beach is in compliance with the RTCIP requirements, as the adopted 2026 single-family RTCIP fee of $4,028 meets and exceeds the applicable minimum fee threshold for this reporting period.
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 average TransNet LSI revenue is approximately $290,000 annually and excludes debt service payments for the Highway 101 Westside Improvements which is approximately $217,000 annually. Approximately $2.7 million in TransNet funding is available for programming over the next five years, comprising LSI revenue of $1.5 million and $1.2 million in carryforward funding. The proposed Program of Projects allocates these funds based on annual and carryforward estimates provided by SANDAG and will be included in future year budgets. The proposed TransNet funding for FY 2026/27 is $1,390,000.
A total of $1,100,00 is currently budgeted for the Annual Pavement Management Program in the Capital Improvement Program section of the FY 2026/27 Adopted Budget and $600,000 is currently budgeted for Glencrest Sidewalk Construction in the Capital Item K.3
June 10, 2026
2027 to 2031 TransNet Program
Improvement Program section of the FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. Available funding includes:

Gas Tax Funds (2026510.66610) $200,000
TransNet Funds (2286510.66610) $210,000

Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (4546510.66610) $600,000 Glencrest Sidewalk Construction Total $600,000
Grand Total $1,700,000
Since adoption of the budget, there have been changes to both projects that require budget adjustments:
• Pavement Management Program: Additional roads have been added to the City’s FY 2026/27 Pavement Management Program. The estimated cost is approximately $2.4 million and will be funded by a combination of the FY 2027 TransNet program increase of $1,005,000, developer cost participation agreements, and other City funds (if needed).
• Glencrest Sidewalk Construction: The current estimated construction cost is $750,000. To fund the project, staff recommends a combination of a $500,000 grant recently received from Senator Levin's office and $75,000 in prior-year TransNet funds programmed and budgeted in the FY 2025 Adjusted Budget. The remaining $175,000 balance will be funded through the FY 2027 TransNet program increase.
This funding strategy preserves TIF funding for reallocation to other City projects.
Staff recommends increasing the FY 2026/27 Appropriations for TransNet funding as described by $1,180,000 in account 2286510.66610 to account for an additional $1,005,000 for Pavement Management Program and $175,000 for Glencrest Sidewalk.
Staff recommends increasing the FY 2026/27 TransNet Revenue Budget by $1,180,000 to account for the additional programming.
Additional appropriations and changes to funding sources, outside of TransNet will be requested as part of the FY 2026/27 Budget Update on June 24, 2026.

SB 1 / Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Signed into Law
April 28, 2017 – Road Repair and Accountability Act of
2017 (Beall, Ch. 5, Statutes of 2017)
Funding Mechanism
Increased per-gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees with annual
inflationary adjustments
Distribution Formula
State retains 50%; 50% distributed to cities and
counties based on population, registered vehicles, and
road miles. Solana Beach: $365,377 (CTC, May 2026)
Annual CTC Requirement
City Council must adopt a resolution listing proposed
projects and submit to the California Transportation
Commission by July 1 each year
Maintenance of Effort
To remain eligible, cities must maintain annual General Fund spending on street maintenance at or above the average of FY 2009/10 through 2011/12 expenditures. Only discretionary General Fund dollars count. (~$900,000 annually) PCI
80+
What happens when Solana Beach reaches a citywide PCI of 80? Once the citywide average PCI meets or exceeds 80, the City is authorized to spend its RMRA apportionment on any transportation priority — not just pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. This unlocks flexibility to direct funds toward active transportation, safety improvements, or other street-related needs.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department - Orelia DeBraal, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopt A Resolution Approving List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2026/27 to Receive Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account Funding as Required by Senate Bill 1
BACKGROUND:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor of California signed Senate Bill (SB1) (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address the statewide funding gap for road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and roads system, SB1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, increased diesel fuel sales taxes, increase vehicle registration fees, and also provided for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
To secure SB1 funding, the City Council must annually adopt a resolution approving proposed project locations and submit it to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1, 2026. For FY 2026/27, the Engineering Department has identified nine (9) roads for resurfacing.
This item is before the City Council for the consideration of Resolution 2026-063 (Attachment 1) Approving a List of Projects Proposed to be funded by SB1 for Fiscal Year 2026/27. Following approval, the Engineering Department will finalize the plans, specifications, and estimate package and advertise for construction. The Engineering Department will return to City Council later to request approval for awarding the construction contract.
DISCUSSION:
On April 28, 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB1) was signed into law, which provides new gas tax revenues so that cities can address the shortfall of funding needed to maintain local streets and roads. These revenues provide necessary funding to improve the overall condition of local streets and roads and protect them deterioration and costly future repairs. Gas tax revenues collected by the State of California (State) are distributed to counties and cities based on a formula that contains various factors, including population, registered vehicles, Item L.1
June 10, 2026
FY 2025/27 SB1 Project List
and road miles maintained. The SB1 revenues are split 50/50 between the State and counties/cities.
To receive SB1 funds, the City Council must annually adopt a resolution with proposed road resurfacing projects and submit it to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
While this project list guides planning, the City retains flexibility to fund other road maintenance and rehabilitation projects under California Streets and Highways Code §2030. Changes to the project list are allowed as long as they are included in the City's annual SB1 program reporting to the CTC (December). The FY 2026/27 project list is required to be submitted to the CTC by July 1, 2026. Once the resolution and project list is received, the CTC will submit the list of projects to the State Controller so that SB1 funds can be apportioned to the City.
FY 2026/27 Road Resurfacing Program
The Engineering Department has developed a list of nine roads to be resurfaced in FY 2026-27, which will improve the overall road condition and protect against deterioration and costly future repairs. Roads are selected for the City's annual pavement capital improvement project based on Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score, field observations by City staff, and community input. PCI is a 0-to-100 rating of road surface condition, with lower scores indicating greater deterioration. As part of the City's Pavement Management Program, road conditions are evaluated every five years, most recently in 2021.
The nine roads proposed for resurfacing are listed below and which will be funded in-part or solely by SB1 funds. Most were selected based on PCI scores and field observations.
Although the 2021 PCI score for Stevens Avenue was 91, indicating good condition, the road is included for resurfacing due to impacts from adjacent development over the past five years. South Nardo Avenue was added through cost participation agreements with the Solana Highlands and Ocean Ranch projects, approved by City Council in May 2026 per Resolutions 2026-040 and 2026-041.
Street Location 2021 PCI
Santa Alicia Santa Rosita to Santa Victoria 48
Santa Hidalga Santa Inez to Santa Queta 31
Santa Florencia Santa Inez to Santa Olivia 38
Highland Drive Solana Drive to San Andres Drive 42
Valley Avenue Genevieve Street to Hernandez Street
Stevens Avenue to Via de la Valle 61
Solana Hills Drive Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Dell Street 55 Santa Helena Sun Valley Road to end at San Elijo Lagoon 52 South Nardo Avenue Bell Ranch Road to Stevens Avenue 59 Stevens Avenue South Nardo Avenue to Valley Avenue 91*
*Although Stevens Avenue received a PCI score of 91 in 2021, the road has been impacted by adjacent development over the past five years and current PCI is expected to be lower.
Item L.1
June 10, 2026
FY 2025/27 SB1 Project List
Once the design and advertisement process is complete, the Engineering Department will return to City Council with the final project list and request authorization to award the road resurfacing construction project. The project is anticipated to start in late 2026 and finish by mid-2027.
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
The project is exempt the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This action consists of approving a list of projects proposed to be funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB1) for Fiscal Year 2026/27. These projects are road resurfacing projects on existing City-maintained roadways. The project includes activities that are necessary to ensure existing right-of-way facilities continue to function as designed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on January 2025 projections, the City is expected to receive $341,918 in FY 2025/26 and $365,377 in FY 2026/27 as part of the SB1/RMRA program. Revenue estimates were provided by the CTC in May 2026.
A total of $1,100,00 is currently budgeted for the Annual Pavement Management Program in the Capital Improvement Program section of the FY 2026/27 Adopted Budget. Available funding includes:
Account Amount
Gas Tax Funds (2026510.66610) $200,000
TransNet Funds (2286510.66610) $210,000
Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1) Funds (2476510.66610) $300,000 General Funds – Measure S (1106510.66610) $390,000
Total $1,100,000
The estimated cost of the proposed nine-road resurfacing project is approximately $2.4 million. Since budget adoption, additional roads have been added to the program, requiring an additional $1.3 million. This will be funded through a combination of TransNet funds and developer cost participation agreements with the Solana Highlands and Ocean Ranch projects, with an estimated $230,000 in additional City funds needed to complete the South Nardo Avenue segment. Final appropriations and changes to funding sources will be brought to City Council for approval when the construction contract is awarded.
WORK PLAN:
While approving of a list of projects to use SB1 funding is not specifically included in the Work Plan, the Annual Pavement Management Program is included in the Capital Improvement Plan. This project supports Transportation and Mobility and General Governance and Fiscal Responsibility by improving the overall condition of City roads and protecting infrastructure deterioration and costly future repairs.

The Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) currently allows for the keeping of chickens, or other fowl, within the Estate Residential (ER-1 & ER-2) and Low Residential (LR) zones on lots with a minimum of 20,000 square feet, with a maximum number of 25 chickens per lot. The SBMC currently prohibits apiaries (beekeeping). Table 17.20.040-A below provides further clarification of the existing ordinance regarding chickens and fowl.

In response to letters of public comment on the draft Work Plan in May of 2025, City Staff was directed by the Council to research chicken and apiary regulations for the City.
Currently, Solana Beach’s residential chicken regulations are more restrictive than Item L.2
June 10, 2026
Residential Chicken and Beekeeping Regulations
neighboring jurisdictions, including the Cities of San Diego, Oceanside, El Cajon and Encinitas. While Solana Beach prohibits beekeeping, apiaries are permitted in the Cities of San Diego, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Lemon Grove.
The item before Council is to consider, discuss, and provide direction regarding the revision of Solana Beach Municipal Code Chapter 17 Article 20 – Animal Regulations, to expand the agricultural use of chickens and bees in residential zones.
DISCUSSION:
In March 2011, during the oral communications comment period, the City Council received public comments expressing the desire to change the Animal Regulations in residential zones. A group of Solana Beach residents self-titled “Friends of Hens” provided the City Clerk a signed petition in support of amending the Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) to allow for the expanded use of hen chickens in all single-family residential zones. At the April 23, 2025, City Council meeting, residents made public comments in support of amending the code to allow for the expanded use of chickens in residential zones. At that same meeting, City Council agreed to explore an amendment to the municipal code regarding residential chickens, and apiaries, or managed bee hives, to the FY2025-26 Work Plan.
Chickens
Residential, or ‘backyard,’ chickens provide many benefits for the community, including supplying residents with fresh, affordable eggs, creating quality fertilizer for gardening and serving as efficient composters of food scraps. Chickens can contribute to our local, sustainable food system. In an effort to expand the opportunity for Solana Beach residents to have backyard chickens, staff has reviewed the city’s current regulations, the regulations of neighboring jurisdictions, and scholarly publications. For the purposes of this report, all references to chickens includes both chickens and other fowl.
Item L.2
June 10, 2026
Residential Chicken and Beekeeping Regulations
Comparison of Neighboring Jurisdiction Regulations:
Staff reviewed chicken keeping regulations from El Cajon, Encinitas, Oceanside and the City of San Diego (Table 1). Each of the four jurisdictions allow chickens in single-family residential zones, and Oceanside allows chickens in some multi-family residential zones.
Unlike the City of Solana Beach’s current regulations, none of the neighboring jurisdictions limit flock size by lot area. Instead, their regulations require a minimum square footage of area for each animal and set a numerical limit to flock size, regardless of the lot area. El Cajon, Oceanside, and the City of San Diego require a minimum area of 10 square feet for each animal. It is unclear if this area is limited to housing, or if it includes run area. It is generally agreed upon that each chicken requires approximately 2 to 3 square feet of coop or housing area (Frame, 2010; Sander & Lacy, 2013). Between 8 and 10 feet of run area is recommended for each chicken (Zook & Payne, 2017). The cities of Encinitas and Oceanside also include a minimum setback of 35 feet between the coop and from any adjacent residences or buildings.

Item L.2
June 10, 2026
Residential Chicken and Beekeeping Regulations
The agencies listed above also include the following special regulations regarding coop construction, maintenance, and location:
Chicken runs and coops must be located behind the main house, and be maintained, clean and well-ventilated (El Cajon)
The coop must be predator-proof, easily cleaned, and well-ventilated with a secure fenced enclosure (Oceanside; City of San Diego)
100-foot buffer from wetlands and 50-foot from riparian wetlands (Encinitas) Assuming backyard chickens are raised for egg production, additional specifications for housing should be considered. For egg laying chickens, one nest box should be provided for every four hens, the box should be located at least 18 inches above the floor, be at least 12 inches square and include a front panel for privacy and egg safety (Frame, 2010).
In addition to providing adequate housing for chickens, it is important to consider the social nature of the species. Because chickens are social animals and exist in flocks with social hierarchies, it is unlikely that a solitary chicken would thrive. Experts recommend that flocks be comprised of 3-4 chickens (www.backyardchickens.com).
Considerations for Residential Chickens
Staff have included the following options for Council to consider:
Zoning: In addition to residents in the ER-1, ER-2, and LR zones, allow chicken keeping in the Low-Medium Residential (LMR) Zone.
Flock Size:
Regulate flock size by the following:
▪ provide a maximum number of chickens allowed per property in some or all zones
▪ require at least 10 square feet of area per chicken (includes housing and run)
▪ restrict flock members to hens only, no roosters
▪ consider including a minimum number of chickens allowed Coop Location:
Allow coops outside, within the buildable area and required rear yards (not to be permitted in the required front- and side-yard setbacks) Additional setbacks from property lines for the coop could be required Require coops maintain a minimum distance from any adjacent legal primary dwelling
▪ Separation distance may change depending on residential zone Coops and outdoor enclosures may require a building permit and shall comply with the requirements of SBMC Chapter 17.20 – Accessory Structures
Item L.2
June 10, 2026
Residential Chicken and Beekeeping Regulations
▪ Consider applying regulations allowing a one-story detached accessory structure, 120 square feet or less, to be constructed without a building permit to coop structures (SBMC 17.08)
Prohibit Coops within the Hillside Overlay Zone (HOZ) or Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA)
Coop Construction and Maintenance:
o The coop should be predator-proof, easily cleaned, and well-vented o Provide adequate structures for nesting
o The outdoor enclosure shall be fenced to keep the chickens on the property o In the event of increased presence of pests and rodents, the property owner is responsible for implementing controls such as fly traps, rodent deterrent, etc.
o All solid waste must be removed and disposed of regularly and in accordance with regulations. (Please refer to SBMC Chapter 6.20 for proper disposal practices as per the City’s franchise agreement.)
o Consider enforcement methods and measures for backyard chickens Apiaries
Apiaries offer environmental and agricultural benefits by increasing local pollination while producing honey and beeswax. Bees encourage high productivity of gardens – meaning more fruits, vegetables, and flowers. When managed appropriately, keeping bees on residential lots can be a valuable asset to the community. In an effort to create an opportunity for Solana Beach residents to have apiaries, staff has reviewed the cities current regulations and neighboring jurisdictions regulations.
Comparison of Neighboring Jurisdiction Regulations
Staff reviewed apiary regulations from the Cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, and San Diego (Table 2). Encinitas is the most permissive jurisdiction allowing up to two (2) hives in residential zones, without specifying any separation distance from adjacent buildings or the public right of way. The City of San Diego allows three or more hives so long as the hives are 600 feet from a building and 100 feet from a public right of way. Bee keeping in Carlsbad is limited by the distance of the hive from a residence or building and does not specify the maximum number of hives or zoning information.

A junior accessory dwelling unit complying with subsection (D)(4)(i) of this section may be developed on the same lot.
c. Accessory dwelling units within the portions of an existing multifamily dwelling structure that are not used as livable space, provided that each unit complies with state building standards for dwellings. An accessory dwelling unit shall not be created within any portion of the habitable area of an existing dwelling unit in a multifamily structure. Up to 25 percent of the number of existing multifamily units in the building, but at least one unit, shall be allowed.
The Solana Beach Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 540, passed January 14, 2026.
Solana Beach Municipal Code 17.20.040 Specific requirements. Page 7 of 26 Item L.2
d. Multiple detached accessory dwelling units:
i. Multiple accessory dwelling units located on a lot that has an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling, but are detached from that multifamily dwelling are subject to height limitations outlined in subsection (D)(4)(g) of this section and rear yard and side setbacks as outlined in subsection (D)(4)(c) of this section. ii. On a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, not more than eight detached accessory dwelling units are allowed. However, the number of accessory dwelling units allowable pursuant to the subsection shall not exceed the number of existing units on the lot.
iii. On a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling, not more than two detached accessory dwelling units are allowed.
6. Applications for junior and accessory dwelling units conforming to the requirements of subsection (D)(4) or (5) of this section shall be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing, and the director of community development shall approve or deny such applications within 60 days after receiving a complete application. Incomplete applications will be returned with an explanation of what additional information is required. The city shall grant a delay in processing if requested by the applicant. If the permit application is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the application for the junior or accessory dwelling unit shall not be acted upon until the application for the new single-family dwelling is approved, but thereafter shall be ministerially processed within 60 days of receipt of a complete application and approved if it meets the requirements of this section. Occupancy of the junior or accessory dwelling unit shall not be allowed until the city approves occupancy of the primary dwelling.
7. In cases of conflict between this section and any other provision of this title, the provisions of this section shall prevail. To the extent that any provision of this section is in conflict with state law, the applicable provision of state law shall control, but all other provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect.
8. The city may offer incentives to encourage development of accessory dwelling units.

New dwelling units proposed in connection with a two-unit residential development shall not exceed 16 feet in height measured from preexisting grade or finished grade, whichever is lower, to the highest point of the roof.
e. For a two-unit residential development connected to an on-site wastewater treatment system, the applicant shall provide a percolation test completed within the last five years, or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years. f.

Incomplete applications will be returned with an explanation of what additional information is required.
7. A proposed two-unit residential development may be denied if the director of community development makes a written finding, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined and determined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, upon public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.

9. In cases of conflict between this section and any other provision of this title, the provisions of this section shall prevail. To the extent that any provision of this section is in conflict with state law, the applicable provision of state law shall control, but all other provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect.

Re: Item L2. City Council Discussion of Amending Chapter 17 Article 20 of the Solana Beach Municipal Code Regarding Residential Chicken and Beekeeping Regulations Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Councilmembers,
Thank you for directing staff to investigate options for amending the city’s municipal code regarding residential chickens. Per the report, staff reviewed chicken keeping regulations from El Cajon, Encinitas, Oceanside and the City of San Diego and found each of these four jurisdictions allow chickens in single-family residential zones, Oceanside allows chickens in some multi-family residential zones, and none of the neighboring jurisdictions limit flock size by lot area.
We have a question about an option staff provided for council consideration: “Zoning: In addition to residents in the ER-1, ER-2, and LR zones, allow chicken keeping in the Low-Medium Residential (LMR) Zone.”
Is there a reason to only expand for allowing chickens in the LMR Zone? Per the city’s zoning map at
https://cityofsolanabeach.ca.gov/sites/default/files/Solana%20Beach/Community%20Developme nt/Planning/Zoning Map.pdf this would exclude all of La Colonia. Has any outreach been done to community members in this neighborhood to see if they would like to see the code updated to allow for chickens in the Medium Residential (MR) zone as well? The staff report wasn’t specific about Oceanside who does allow chickens in ‘some’ multi-residential zones, so we aren’t sure if this option is based on the specifics of how Oceanside regulates chickens, or some other justification.
While we do support expansion of the ordinance to allow chickens in the LMR Zone, we would appreciate some explanation of why further expansion into the MR isn’t also under consideration as well.
Sincerely,
Kristin Brinner

2. Coop Location
What is the minimum acceptable distance a coop
may be located from an adjacent primary dwelling
unit?
• SBMC 17.20.040(H)(3)(a) requires coops
be located at least 35 feet from any
adjacent residential dwelling unit, school,
hospital or church
• 35 feet?
• If so, consider if this is to be
measured from existing adjacent
development or should it be
measured from the buildable area or
“potential future development”
OR
• Consider requiring a coop setback
from the subject property’s PL
