31 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 5.a
Meeting Date: March 13, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider approve the submittal of the 2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and to the State Department of Housing and Community Development
PREPARED BY: Sophia Checa, Planning Manager
Laurie Tamura, Planning Consultant
Chelsea O’Sullivan, Assistant City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

Section 65400 of the California Government Code requires the City to file an annual report by April 1 of each year with the state addressing the status of the general plan or element of the general plan and progress made toward goals and objectives. The information required in the annual report is very specific to information found in the Housing Element. This allows the State to monitor the success of implementing the Housing Element and determine if changes need to be made in the plan or its implementation programs. The report must be presented to the local legislative body for review and acceptance prior to submittal to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

Through the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) (Attachment A), the City submits data on the progress in meeting the assigned Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). This data is in Table A Housing Development Applications Submitted, Table A2 Annual Building Activity Report Summary – New Construction, Entitled, [Building] Permits, and Completed Units [Certificates of Occupancy], and Table B Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress of Attachment A. The State also monitors how we are utilizing our Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant funding (Attachment B).

The reporting period for the APR is January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. This time frame includes the final reporting for the 5th cycle RHNA and the first reporting for the 6th cycle RHNA (Figure 1). Each RHNA planning cycle is 8 years. The 5th cycle was 2/15/2015 – 2/15/2023, and the 6th cycle is 2/15/2023 – 2/15/2031. The state allows jurisdictions to take a RHNA credit for units approved (entitled or permitted) or built since the start date of the 6th cycle RHNA projection period which started June 30, 2023; therefore, these units are not counted in Table B of Attachment A as this table summarizes progress on the 5th cycle RHNA.

Figure 1
The Planning Commission reviewed this item at their meeting on Monday, March 6th. They identified several grammatical and spelling changes, which have been addressed. There was also a request to clarify what had been written for Program 13 Mixed-Use Development in the Annual Report regarding Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Reporting Period: January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 – June 30, 2022 July 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 5th Cycle RHNA 6th Cycle RHNA
32 reduced parking requirements for mixed-use developments and allowing for residences as a secondary use in the Professional Office (P-O), Tourist Related Commercial (TRC), and C-2 Commercial zones.

Currently, the municipal code lowers the parking requirements for mixed use projects reserved for senior citizens or low and very low-income households, and residences are allowed as a secondary use in the P-O, TRC, and C-2 zones, however, a conditional use permit is required in the P-O zone. The program was amended to clarify the changes that were made. That item was updated to clarify. They voted 5-0 to recommend to the City Council they approve the submittal of the 2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. The City Council can request changes to the Housing Element Annual Progress Report.

2. The City Council can vote to not recommend the submittal of the 2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the State Department of Housing and Community Development
FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

34 CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
A. Purpose of the Annual Report
Section 65400 of the California Government Code requires the City to file an annual report addressing the status of the General Plan, in particular the Housing Element which is the only element required to be approved by the State, and progress made toward goals and objectives. The annual report provides a means to monitor the success of implementing the Housing Element and determine if changes need to be made in the plan or its implementation programs.

B. Purpose of the General Plan
The General Plan serves two primary functions. First, the General Plan provides information. Second, it states the community's goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures (i.e., ways to achieve the goals and objectives). The General Plan is a public document and is available for all review. Copies are available for review at the Planning Division Office, Solvang Public Library, and the City Clerk's Office. Each member of the Planning Commission and City Council has a copy of the General Plan as well as each City Department and Division. All of these documents are also available on the City’s website.

As a guidance document, the General Plan describes existing conditions, makes projections, and establishes a vision for the community's future. The General Plan provides the public with valuable information about the City and the direction that it seeks to move.

In a community where growth accentuates change, there is a need to look ahead and determine the effect of change on the physical, social, and economic structure of the community.

As a policy document, the General Plan establishes policies for decision-makers. Using these documents, the Planning Commission and City Council take incremental steps toward achieving the larger goals of the city. The city focuses implementation programs contained in the General Plan through day-to-day operations of the City. 35 C. General Plan and Zoning Law
California law also requires each city and county in the state to have a General Plan with mandated elements (Government Code Section 65302). While a general plan will contain the community vision for future growth, it will also include the mandatory seven elements: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety.

Over the last couple of years, the state has added additional elements to the law. Cities and counties that have identified disadvantaged communities must also address environmental justice in their general plans, addressing air quality, hazardous materials, or other impacts to quality of life.

The State Law recommends the required elements of the General Plan be reviewed and updated on regular basis. Most jurisdictions rely on an eight-to-ten-year review cycle to fund and complete these updates.

The City of Solvang is now under contract with a Planning Consulting firm to update most of the elements of the General Plan. This work should be completed at the end of 2023 or early 2024.

Land Use 2020-24
Circulation 2020-24

2020-24
On June 24, 2020, the Office of Planning and Research update the General Plan Guidelines. All jurisdictions updating their general plans will now be required to also include either a separate element or chapters within each element addressing Environmental Justice and Fire Hazard Planning. The current update to the General Plan will include these items. (Gov. Code Section 65040.2) During the environmental review phase of General Plan Update the city will comply with its obligations to consult with California Native American tribes, and to identify and protect, preserve, and mitigate impacts to places, features, and objects described in Sections 5097.9 and 5097.993 of the Public Resources Code, pursuant to Chapter 905 of the Statutes of 2004.
36 D. Current Status of the Adopted Elements of the City’s General P Plan State law requires that the General Plan include seven elements. These elements must cover the following topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Conservation, and Open Space. The City of Solvang combines the Conservation and Open Space elements into one Element.

State law also allows the City to adopt any additional general plan elements that the City deems necessary. There are two optional elements included in the General Plan:

Community Design and Parks/Recreation. The Table below shows the required and optional elements of the General Plan and the revision dates if applicable (per Section 65400(2)(F)).

CHAPTER II – IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN
The City of Solvang implementation programs identified in the General Plan include tools already in place and used on a day-to-day basis in the City. Some of the various tools available to further the City’s goals and objectives include Zoning and Subdivision Regulations in the Municipal Code, Design Guidelines and the Design Review Committee, and the Capital Improvement Plans with Growth Mitigation Fees.

A. Planning Commission
The City of Solvang Planning Commission is designated as the “Planning Agency,” as authorized by Section 65100 of the State Government Code and the City of Solvang Municipal Code. The Commission has discretionary and advisory responsibilities that are authorized by Title 2-1 of the Municipal Code.

B. Design Review Committee
The City of Solvang Design Review Committee (DRC) (formerly known as Board of Architectural Review BAR) is designated as a recommending body to the Planning Commission. Their review is focused on the architecture, colors, materials, landscaping, -
37 and signs within discretionary projects. Their recommendation is then considered by the Planning Commission when reviewing Development Plans and other projects. The DRC also has final design approval for signs, and other minor changes to existing buildings.

C. Planning Division and Building Division
The Planning Division is made up of two divisions: Planning and Building. In 2020, the Planning and Building transitioned from city employees to contractors. The hired contractor staff focused on the day-to-day permitting of development applications and Planning Commission and DRC meetings.

In 2021, the City Council restructured the Planning and Community Development Department and created the Planning Division and Building Division. The Planning Division continue to have a part-time contract planner. Late 2021, a full time Assistant Planner was hired by the city. This staff member was promoted full-time Planning Manager at the end of 2022. The city is working to fill the vacant Assistant Planner position.

Planning Division
Planning Division activities include administration of the City's General Plan, development, and subdivision review, issuing Land Use Permits, attending Design Review Committee and Planning Commission meetings, conducting environmental review, and informing the public of the City's land use policies and development ordinances. The Planning Division reviews federal, state, and county legislation, projects of concern to the city, and files reports to the State.

The Planning Division provides staff support to the Planning Commission. Administrative functions include scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, posting hearing notices, and preparing of minutes. The city posts Planning Commission meeting agendas and minutes on the City Web pages.

Planning staff provides land use analysis, environmental review as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and prepares staff reports for the DRC, Planning Commission and City Council.

Building Division
Since 2020, the Building Department has operated with contract building official and inspectors.

The Building Division is responsible for administration and enforcement of those state and local codes, ordinances and regulations dealing with the construction, alteration, maintenance and use of privately owned structures, appurtenances, and land. These regulations include the building, housing, dangerous building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, swimming pool, and sign codes, as well as the California State Mobile Home Park regulations and City zoning ordinances.

C. Zoning Text Amendments
In 2022, there were several zoning text amendments reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The first ordinance change addressed how the city would review, and permit walk up service windows for commercial buildings. The second ordinance change involved permitting of Food Trucks in the TRC zone and on private property. The third ordinance change was how to determine parking in-lieu fees for commercial projects. The fourth change regarded how to determine parking requirements 38 for short term vacation rentals.

CHAPTER III HOUSING ELEMENT
A Housing Element Annual Reporting
Every five to eight years, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) assigns Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA) to Metropolitan Planning Organizations. The RHNA identifies the minimum number of new housing units that are needed to address the projected growth of the local workforce and population throughout the region.

In Santa Barbara County, the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization. Accordingly, it oversees the process whereby these units are allocated to each jurisdiction, including the cities and the unincorporated County. For the current planning cycle (2014-2022), 175 units were allocated to the City of Solvang as illustrated by the table below. During each of these RHNA cycles, a goal for housing is giving to each jurisdiction. 5th Cycle

Source: SBCAG RHNA Plan 2014-2022
* Extremely low income and very low-income distribution is based on proportion of those two income groups enumerated in this table. SBCAG Final RHNA allocation only identifies very low income need and above categories.

As one of the seven mandated elements of the City’s General Plan, the Housing Element provides a set of goals, policies, and programs to address the housing needs of all economic segments of the population, pursuant to State law. The State has identified the availability of housing to be a statewide priority. As a result, a local jurisdiction’s Housing Element must be updated every five to eight years and certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (SHCD). The City of Solvang’s Housing Element was certified by the state on April 24, 2015.
39 RHNA versus Units Built
The table above provides a summary of the number of units that were either planned and/or permitted in the last RHNA cycle from 2014-2022. It is important to note that some of the units are in projects that have not been built yet and may roll over into the next housing cycle.

In previous years, the City was not obligated to plan for the building of all the units assigned through the RHNA process. It is, however, required to demonstrate that conditions have been created to allow for and promote the appropriate number and types of units required by its RHNA. This is done through ensuring that land use policies and zoning regulations are in place to encourage housing that is “affordable by design” such as mixed use, infill, and rehabilitation of underutilized parcels. In addition, affordable housing policies that offer financial and other incentives can help ensure that a wide variety of affordable housing types are produced to address the needs of all economic segments of the population.

Attached to this report are the tables required to be filed with SBCAG and the State Agencies to report the status of new housing units in the city of Solvang. Also included is a summary of the Housing Element policies and their implementation.

B. Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) 2023-2031
Every eight years, California Department Housing and Community Development reviews the number of housing units that the state will need to plan for. With this review, HCD forwards to each county their assignments of units. Santa Barbara County Association of Government is the agency that accepts this number and works with the county and the cities to distribute the unit count based on several factors.

The final RHNA numbers were approved by August 2022 and Solvang will begin to work with the new assignment for future housing units within the update to the Housing Element. This housing cycle will run from 2024-2031.

Of the 24,856 units assigned to the County of Santa Barbara, the City of Solvang will need to plan for 191 units in the different income categories over the next eight years. 40 C. Government Code Section 65400 report
The Government Code requires that several items are included in the Annual Report. The attached tables include some of this information. This section will provide a description of these items.

Section 65400 (B): The City of Solvang successfully provided all the housing income levels assigned in the 5th Cycle. See Table B. Also required in this Section of the Government Code is a summary of the current Housing Element Polices and what actions have been taken in the last year to meet these policies. See Table C.

Section 65400 (C): In 2022, the City of Solvang received one new development plan application for five (5) units with one ADU on 5th Street. This project is currently going through the planning process.

Section 65400 (D): In 2022, the City of Solvang received no new Single-Family Dwellings unit applications and only one ADU application. There were several projects that were revised including the three Bella Vista homes on Laurel Avenue and the three small units on Fir Street, but these projects were counted in previous years.

Section 65400 (E): In 2022, the City of Solvang did not approve any discretionary development plans for housing projects. They did issue final occupancy clearance for ten (10) Single Family homes, ten (10) ADU’s and two (2) JADU’s units.

Section 65400 (F): As noted in Table C, there are several General Plan Housing Element policies that have been implemented or have been identified as obsolete. Those policies will be revised in the update to the Housing Element that is currently being processed and 41 undergoing environmental review.

Section 65400 (G): The City of Solvang was able to meet all the income levels in the 5th cycle through processing development projects and building permits over the last eight years. The permits issued in 2022 are included in the Table A. The summary of housing units issued over the last 8 years is in Table B.

Section 65400 (H) and (I): In 2022, the City of Solvang had 11 units that completed entitlement, 11 units that received a building permit, and 27 units that received a certificate of occupancy. These projects are listed in Table A2.

Section 65400 (L): In 2022, the City of Solvang did not receive any new applications for Bonus Density. There was one project that was approved in 2020 on 539 Alisal Road that was issued building permits and is under construction now. That project consisted of 10 market units and one low-income unit.

Section 65400 (M): In 2022, there were no projects submitted under the application submitted pursuant to the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.

52 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 5.b
Meeting Date: March 13, 2023
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider Horzes Entertainment LLC dba Solvang Streetcars Electric Trolley License Renewal.

PREPARED BY: Brad Vidro, Interim City Manager
DISCUSSION:

The Municipal Code Title 4, Chapter 12, Electric Trolley Licenses sets forth regulations and process for a license application. Horzes Entertainment submitted a license application shown in Attachment A.

Chapter 12 is included as Attachment B.

The Solvang City Council approved a one year license for Horzes Entertainment LLC on October 11, 2021 (City Council meeting minutes are Attachment C). The previous City Manager had indicated to the owners in September of 2022 that the license was for five years, but the minutes of the meeting that approved the license reflect it was only approved for one year. While City Code allows for it, no documentation can be found for a five year license.

The same operator currently has a five year license for horse drawn conveyances along the same routes and the same pickup and drop-off location.

The purpose of the Municipal Code regulations relating to electric trolley license is as follows:

The city is a major tourist attraction due to its Danish theme or motif. Without this Danish theme or motif tourists would not be as readily attracted to the city which would in turn materially and adversely affect the economy of the city and its businesses. As a result of the theme or motif of the city attracting tourists, the city has the opportunity to attract different types of motorized vehicles like electric trolleys that transport tourists for hire over the city-owned and maintained streets and roads. Failure of electric trolleys to conform to or blend into the theme or motif of the city will tend to reduce or destroy the effectiveness of the theme or motif in attracting tourists to the city. Additionally, the time that the city is most congested with tourists are the times when it is most profitable for electric trolleys to operate potentially aggravating traffic and congestion problems or creating parking problems when on- and offloading passengers. There is therefore a pressing need to carefully regulate and control, under license, the operation of electric trolleys for hire in the city. If such electric trolleys cannot be regulated effectively, they may be totally banned
The City Council has full discretion to issue or deny the license. Municipal Code Section 4-12-21 sets forth the following conditions for issuance of license.

A. Subject to the terms and provisions of this chapter, the city council may approve, conditionally approve or deny the application for the license.

B. The city council may grant the license, as applied for or in modified form, on a determination that the following standards will be met:

1. The appearance of the electric trolley will conform to the theme or motif of the city.

2. The costumes or wearing apparel of the operators for the electric trolley will conform to the theme or motif of the city.

3. The routes and time of operation of the electric trolleys will not substantially or unreasonably adversely deteriorate the quality of traffic, parking availability or aggravate congestion within the city.

4. The granting of the license will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the city.
53 5.     All application requirements are met.

However, nothing in this chapter shall require the granting of a license, and the city council may limit the number, times and routes of electric trolleys in order to best meet the purposes of this chapter.

C.     The decision of the city council shall be final.

The license can be issued for up to five (5) years.

The applicant has indicated that up to three trolleys may operate simultaneously based on demand. Only one of the electric trolleys provides ADA accommodations. The City Code requires the applicant to provide a statement certifying each electric trolley is compliant with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and meets the specifications of Title 49, part 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The City Council will need to decide if one accessible trolley is acceptable for the terms of the license. Additionally one of the trolleys is gasoline powered and not an electric trolley.

The ordinance requires a payment of processing fee as set by Council resolution. The ordinance does not set forth any fees for the use of public right of ways or parking spaces.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could renew the license for up to five years or choose not to renew the license at all.

Changes could also be made to the route.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action. The Renewal fee for the Trolley License is $180.

City Council: Mark Infanti, Mayor
Elizabeth Orona, Mayor Pro-Tem
Robert Clarke, Councilmember
David Brown, Councilmember
Thank you for the opportunity to serve Solvang, the Danish Capitol of America. Horzes Entertainment LLC is a family owned and operated company that was founded in 2007 with the sole purpose of restoring and improving the historical Horse-Drawn Solvang Trolley, which dates back to 1964.

While this continues to be a popular attraction, the rise of costs of horse-keeping have made it challenging to keep the horse-conveyance economically viable, while ensuring all horses are kept in our stables from training to retirement. In 2021, we added 3 motorized trolleys to our operations. The fleet allows us to operate despites challenging traffic conditions, provide more options to people with challenged mobility, and give us more flexibility to serve visitors with group transportation between points of interest. We would like to continue to be a part of the Danish Village for many years. We would like to request at this time a longer operating agreement, as the operation requires a significant investment in vehicle upgrade and upkeep, as well as staff training. We hope you will join us for a ride sometime, and that you will grant us the opportunity to serve Solvang and continue collaborating with local businesses, non-profits, and community groups.

Sincerely;
Sal Orona, Chief Member

Staff attire
The Staff is costumed to reflect the charm and history of our town. Costumes include western style attire, as well as Danish Attire that make our staff recognizable. Attire may change based on seasons and festivals throughout the year to add to the festivity of our operations. All staff is trained in local history, Danish culture, current events, and local amenities. 62 63
9 Maps of routes
The tours start on 2nd St at the Intersection of Copenhagen Dr. This spot is ideal as it allows for space for up to 3 vehicles during busy season, and is not on the way of storefronts. The Trolley route may vary depending on street closures, but it involves the streets marked on the map.

In addition to the pick up and drop off location on 2nd street, we are doing additional pick up and drop offs at the Elverhoj Museum of art and history.

Occasionally the trolley may use modified routes for private groups that require pickup at various hotels and venues throughout the town. Our policy is to adhere to streets that feature businesses while avoiding streets that are purely residential.

11 Accessibility Features/ ADA
Trolleys are custom made, and accessibility features are not always available. We have one vehicle that has accessibility to wheelchairs. Further investment is needed to allow for more vehicles with ADA accessibility features. We are currently in the process of upgrading all vehicles, pending approval of our license.

List of accessibility features:
 Low floors parallel to sidewalk height for step-free entrance to the vehicles.  Slip-resistant floors
 Handrails
 Fire extinguisher
 Seatbelts
 Trolley #3 is equipped with a retractable accessibility ramp, with a wheel chair-accessible space and appropriate
securement belts.

4-12-1 Purpose.

The city is a major tourist attraction due to its Danish theme or motif. Without this Danish theme or motif tourists would not be as readily attracted to the city which would in turn materially and adversely affect the economy of the city and its businesses. As a result of the theme or motif of the city attracting tourists, the city has the opportunity to attract different types of motorized vehicles like electric trolleys that transport tourists for hire over the city-owned and maintained streets and roads.

AGENDA ITEM 5.b
Meeting Date: March 13, 2023
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution No. 23-1208 Approving the Measure A 5-year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 23/24-27/28 PREPARED BY: Rodger A. Olds, Director of Public Works/City Engineer DISCUSSION:

On November 4, 2008, the voters of Santa Barbara County approved Ordinance No. 5, the Road Repair, Traffic Relief, and Transportation Safety Measure known as Measure A. Measure A is a retail transaction and use tax of one-half of one percent for the construction, maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of existing roads and bikeways, and for the provision or expansion of public transit services. The measure became effective on April 1, 2010 and disbursement of revenues began in July 2010.

Annually SBCAG provides an estimate of the apportionment of Measure A revenues. The estimate for Solvang is as follows:

Fiscal Year FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25 FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28 Revenue
Estimate $486,146 $501,987 $507,206 $516,635 $531,368
In an effort to provide transparency and accountability, the Measure A program requires the City of Solvang to prepare an annual “Program of Projects” highlighting the Local Street & Transportation Improvement projects to be funded with the above revenues and present the Program of Projects to the public through a public hearing. After the public hearing the Program of Projects is to be approved by City Council. The approved Program of Projects will then be provided to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). SBCAG will then present all of the member agencies approved Programs of Projects.

The Public Works Department has developed the City of Solvang Program of Projects based on the current Capital Improvement Program. The 5-Year Program of Projects is included as Attachment 2.

The approved Measure A Ordinance includes a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement to be financed by discretionary funds. The Ordinance states, “Each local agency receiving revenues pursuant to the Investment Plan shall annually maintain an expenditure of local discretionary funds for street and road purposes which is no less than that reported in the State Controller’s Annual Report of Financial Transactions for Streets and Roads for the Fiscal Year 2007-08 and adjusted annually by the percentage change in the amount of retail transaction and use tax receipts collected through the imposition of this measure.” Based on the current budget, the City of Solvang will be able to meet the MOE requirement. If Solvang does not meet its MOE requirement, the amount of Measure A revenue would be reduced in the following year by the same amount as the MOE shortfall.

The Measure A 5-Year Program of Projects is appropriate and achievable. The Resolution for the Measure A 5-Year Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2024-2028 is included as Exhibit A of the proposed resolution for approval.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may wish to allocate funds in some other manner that is consistent with the Measure A Local Allocation Rules.
87 FISCAL IMPACT:

Measure A revenue in Fiscal Year 2023-24 is estimated to be $486,146.

um
The below information are concerns and issues that have occurred throughout the state of California. Since this issue is the first Marijuana Retail Dispensary application for the city of Solvang, I do not have a baseline comparison to show if there is an increase in crime directly related to the City of Solvang. The below narrative is based on current trends which have impacted law enforcement agencies within the State of California specifically related to retail Recreational Marijuana store fronts.

Increase in Crime: Several California cities with recreational marijuana dispensaries have experienced an increase in crime associated with these dispensaries. Storefront dispensaries have been targets of violent, take-over style armed robberies. One such robbery occurred in Anaheim, and another in San Leandro where the owner shot and killed an 18-year-old suspect. Police from other jurisdictions have also reported an increase of burglaries at or near dispensaries. Patrons going to or leaving marijuana dispensaries have been robbed for their cash and marijuana, including a man in Hayward who had a gun pointed at his head.

Operators of marijuana dispensaries have been associated with a variety of illegal activity. Police report that marijuana dispensary operators in Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, Redwood City, Vacaville, Santa Clara County, and Pacific Beach have possessed and sold illegal weapons and other drugs at their dispensaries.

Dispensary operators in Oakland, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, Pacific Beach, and Roseville have also been involved in organized crime and money laundering activities. Organized criminal gangs have been linked to grow operations in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the vicinity of Sacramento that supplied marijuana to dispensaries. In addition, dispensaries have been associated with an increase in traffic accidents and arrests for driving under the influence in which marijuana was implicated. This includes an increase in vagrancy and transient related crimes.

Agenda Item 6.a
92 Residences where marijuana was grown or that were associated with storefront dispensaries have been targets for armed robberies and assault. A resident in Willits was shot in such a robbery and a resident in Laytonville was shot and killed during another. In other cases, marijuana cultivators have resisted police investigations with firearms.

Illegal Diversion of recreational Marijuana: In numerous cases, marijuana from dispensaries has been diverted to illegal use. The City of Pleasanton reported illegal re-sales of medical marijuana to juveniles. The Los Angeles County police reported that a dispensary sold marijuana to minors who were in possession of third party's marijuana identification card. A teen in Oak Park reported that at least 10 of his friends have fraudulently obtained medical marijuana identification cards to purchase marijuana from a local retail dispensary. An undercover officer in Morro Bay purchased marijuana on the street from a dispensary security guard, and undercover officers observed patrons of a Modesto dispensary re-selling marijuana in the shop's parking lot. Similarly, two individuals were arrested for illegal re-sales in the parking lot of an Anaheim marijuana dispensary.

Negative Impact on Neighboring Land/Retail Use: Neighborhoods and retail districts with recreational marijuana dispensaries have reported an increase in noise, traffic, and other activity that negatively impacts neighboring land uses. Neighbors of a dispensary in San Francisco experienced patrons double-parking and blocking driveways. Neighbors of dispensaries in the City of West Hollywood also complained of increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic and noise. Other cities and counties have experienced street dealers attempting to sell marijuana at a lower rate to people entering dispensaries.

Police agencies also reported increased loitering and public marijuana smoking in the vicinity of dispensaries. Residential and business fires have been caused by improper electrical modifications to facilitate marijuana cultivation where permitted.

Dispensaries have also had an adverse impact on neighboring businesses, including a loss of business as a result of the above-mentioned impacts. Two businesses neighboring a dispensary in Anaheim relocated because of problems associated with the dispensary. One left out of fear for the safety of their employees after the dispensary was robbed. Another left because it could find no solution for the marijuana smell permeating through a common wall with the dispensary. Business owners in the City of Yorba Linda likewise suffered from the smell of marijuana inside their business from an adjacent dispensary. Businesses in the City of Long Beach contacted police regarding smells in their businesses and marijuana being smoked and sold in parking lots around the dispensary.
93 I contacted our County Cannabis Compliance Team who relayed the following information: "Locally we have seen several of the issues noted above, associated with legal licenses cannabis businesses in our county. Specifically, we have arrested people who are purchasing product from a legally licensed cannabis dispensary and are illegally re-selling the product on the street. In the last year at least three to four criminal cases have involved the resale of cannabis products to juveniles in our county.

Additionally, the unincorporated county area (outside all the incorporated cities in the county) currently only have two licensed cannabis dispensaries, one of which has been open for about two months and the other for only a few weeks. In that short time, one of those dispensaries has already experienced a burglary. Other licensed cannabis operations in our county have experienced crimes including burglaries and robbery. In addition to the crimes reported to the Sheriff's Department, we have received strong indications other similar crimes have gone unreported to our agencies for a variety of reasons, including fear of repercussions to the licensed cannabis business.

Currently, the legal market is experiencing a drop in revenue from the sale of legal cannabis. There is a variety of factors causing this downturn, one of which appears to be the saturation of the market with licensed businesses. At the same time the illicit market it is thriving in our county and at the state level. Locally we have seen diversion of cannabis product from legally licensed cannabis operations directly to the illicit market where it can gamer a much larger profit margin for all involved. This appears to be, at least in part, tied to the low price on the legal market which is partially caused by the over saturated market.

Directly in the general area surrounding Solvang there is one licensed cannabis dispensary in Santa Ynez and at least two delivery operations service the area. To the west, at about a 20-30-minute drive there are 65 total licensed cannabis dispensaries and delivery services in the City of Lompoc. Twenty-eight are Retail Recreational Marijuana stores."
The Santa Barbara County Office of the Sheriff has a Cannabis Compliance Team which responsible for Cannabis Compliance within the Santa Barbara County jurisdiction only. With the city of Solvang being a municipality, the city of Solvang would be responsible to contract a California State Certified Compliance inspection company to conduct inspections in compliance with state law.

Solvang City would - also be required to create and implement a Municipal Code regulating the Marijuana Dispensary which would be operating within the city limits. 94 Note: all above cited sources can be provided to the City of Solvang upon request.

This memorandum covers general issues as they have occurred within the State of California. This memorandum was authored at the request from the City of Solvang.

I will be available to answer any questions or concerns as they arise.

Melissa Seligman, 9.5 percent; Levi Seligman, 8 percent; Lindsey Law, 9.5 percent; and, Keith Sweeney 8 percent.

Dayspring’s convertible loan agreement shows the note could turn into a 46 percent ownership interest in Megan’s Organic for him and a reduction in several partners’ percentages.

Megan’s Organic opened in the summer of 2020.

On March 11, 2020, FBI agents raided Dayspring’s home on the outskirts of SLO. He pled guilty to bribing San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Adam Hill and falsifying his tax returns.

SLO city officials terminated Dayspring’s application for his Natural Healing Center SLO retail store on Oct. 19, 2021 after determining he had lied on his application.

MOM USA LLC, a company started by the newer investors, purchased the convertible note, and the owners of Megan’s Organic paid Dayspring back, Tardiff said. Tardiff then moved partial ownership of Megan’s Organic to a group of people tied to himself and Andre.

Nick Andre
Tardiff asked the city in 2021 to transfer ownership in Megan’s Organic from Melissa Seligman, Levi Seligman, Lindsey Law and Keith Sweeney to Alison Borges, Tarrah Graves, Jillian Cardona and Phoebe Lapari, according to the email from the city to Tardiff.

Borges, the then-girlfriend and now wife of Andre, is an elementary school teacher. She has not returned questions about how she secured ownership in a multi-million dollar retail cannabis store.

Tardiff said Andre did not transfer the ownership interest to his girlfriend. She “purchased the shares.”
Graves is Tardiff’s wife, according to a 2015 grant deed. Tardiff said his wife also purchased shares.

Jillian Cardona is related to Mark Cardona, general counsel for MOM USA LLC.

ODLAS Investments LLC, which is owned by Tyler and Marian Saldo, now owns 8% of Megan’s. Saldo is Tardiff’s law partner
Dayspring accuses the city of canceling his permit for dishonesty while looking the other way when Megan’s Organic provided false information, in a declaration in support of a lawsuit filed against the city. In its application, Megan’s Organic claimed all its financial capital originated from its ownership team.
“All of our financial capital comes directly from our ownership team which we believe sets us apart from other applicants who may be dependent on out-of-area funding,” according to the application.

According to SLO City Attorney Christine Dietrick, having funding from other sources would not disqualify Megan’s Organic and that there is no evidence they were dishonest under penalty of perjury.

three SLO City cannabis store permits. The Mayor at the time Heidi Harmon seemingly unwittingly helped structure the selection process and criteria to favor Dayspring and his co-conspirators. Harmon was having a sexual relationship with Quinn Brady, her assistant/campaign manager at the time.

Quinn Brady now works for the Dayspring front organization MOM INC a Delaware Corp in which shareholder information has been kept secret. Harmon literally got into bed with the criminals and was influenced by the pillow talk.

The City Attorney knows about MOM INC but has negligently looked the other way to avoid finding out who really owns the shares and thus control of the stores. Anyone with information about this ongoing cannabis fraud should email [email protected]
CalCoast has done a splendid job uncovering the corruption involving Megan’s Organic Market, SLOCAL Roots, Helios Dayspring, Nick Andre, Quinn Brady and the local City’s of San Luis Obispo County. They have fallen short however.

MOM INC is a Delaware Corporation that owns MOM USA LLC. This is how Helios’ organized crime group is hiding Helios’ ownership of the entire front operation. Dig a little dipper CalCoast. Perhaps the FBI will need to search the offices of the criminals’ attorney as they are clearly involved in the fraud and racketeering.
“Helios” has a point. It takes two to tango, and GB, SLO and MB did. Hopefully Paso will use an ABC-style lottery system, but I doubt it, it just begs corruption too much to resist.

What a filthy mess, many of us could see this stink coming when Ca allowed dope to be legal and the city and county got in on the act, this has bred a whole new bunch of liers and crooks, half the city council of San Luis and Morro Bay were at daysprings place for a little New Years cheer a few years ago and no one could see the writing on the wall, and yet these people don’t get prosecuted, but by golly get caught with out a seat belt on and lookout, San Luis is on our butt.

Kudos to Ms. Velie for her cogent reporting.

This stuff is typical of a capitalist economy. Bribes, favoritism, corruption, were all part of the birth of many businesses, especially the alcohol industry after the repeal of prohibition. We are only in the infancy of the cannabis industry and mistakes will be made.

Figures such as Dayspring will come and go, but in the long run, cannabis will be a viable money maker for all involved. Like alcohol or caffeine or chocolate or widgets, there is always demand, and now that cannabis is legal the free market will work things out.
“The free market will work things out”, Yes it will and our county will be building a homeless village for the losers in this new venture. Dope and all drugs come with mentally challenged results, so plan on the funding shift from infrastructure to the expanding tiny village. Remember we need to take care of those who make bad choices, oh and more government jobs to facilitate this. Not Capitalism, communism right before the dumbed down eyes.

Homeless ppl aren’t losers. Your mind set tells me you are though.

Yes. The favoritism pushed into descrimination around the bush presidency.

Why is it that Nick Andre’s name is associated with nearly every crook in the county?
Does anyone else smell the stink on Bruce Gibson & Jimmy Paulding? It’s not what you know, it’s who you know!
What??? I’m so confused!

You got it.

We accept that the U.S. Drug Cartel is accustomed to, ” I solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me god,” in their upbringing, in their practice, by their successors and with all this honesty they get wealthy selling dope. It’s legal, we are obese and we have the leadership we voted for.

This is step 1 in the 12 step program for Ignoramus Anonymous.

1. Religion is made up.

2. Weed is safe.

I remember when Megan’s Organic market was just a delivery and they grew all their own weed. At that time they were a decent dispensary with reasonable prices. Then the county sued Megan’s back in 2017 over their grow, don’t know what the results of the lawsuit were. But Megan’s shutdown their delivery operation after that and didn’t open back up again until they got their store front. Why would the county award Megan’s Organic market a store front just a few years after suing Megan’s over their grow and shutting down their delivery and grow operations?
Easy answer, Helios’s money, influence, and bribes. Anyone tied to Helios should lose their permits, and all corrupt officials fired and jailed but we all know neither will happen.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item: 6.b
Meeting Date: March 13, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to Adopt Resolution No. 23-1207 Establishing a Citizens’ Oversight Committee Pursuant to Ordinance No. 22-0363, a Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance
PREPARED BY: Dave Fleishman, City Attorney
Chelsea O’Sullivan, Assistant City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

On June 27, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-1180 ordering a Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance (also known as Measure U) to be submitted to voters for approval in the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election. Measure U provided for the imposition of a 1 cent sales tax to maintain funding for City of Solvang services. On November 8, 2022 voters approved Measure U in the General Municipal Election and thereby adopted Ordinance No. 22-0363.

Ordinance No. 22-0363 requires, among other provisions, that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a Citizens’ Oversight Committee “to review the revenue and expenditures of funds” from the aforementioned tax and to set the Committee members’ terms, qualifications, duties and the scope of the committee. See codified Section 3-6-14 which is attached to this report.

Resolution No. 23-1207 establishes the Citizens’ Oversight Committee and adopts rules of the Committee as required by Ordinance No. 22-0363. The Committee is designed to be an advisory body to the City Council on the revenue and expenditures of funds from the sales tax authorized by Ordinance No. 22-0363 and will have no independent authority to direct the expenditure of funds from the sales tax. Duties of the Committee include providing recommendations to the City Council on Measure U expenditures. The Committee is proposed to be made up of five (5) members serving without compensation, and because it is formed by formal action of the City Council, it is subject to the Brown Act.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Modify Resolution No. 23-1207.

2. Provide further direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the Resolution may result in minor administrative costs to set up and provide assistance to the established committee, but such costs are expected to be within existing budgetary limits.

This chapter is adopted to achieve the following, among other purposes, and directs that the provisions hereof be interpreted in order to accomplish those purposes:

To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that incorporates provisions identical to those of the Sales and Use Tax Law of the State of California insofar as those provisions are not inconsistent with the requirements and limitations contained in part 1.6 of division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

C. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that imposes a tax and provides a measure therefor that can be administered and collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in a manner that adapts itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the least possible deviation from, the existing statutory and administrative procedures followed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in administering and collecting the California State Sales and Use Taxes.

D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that can be administered in a manner that will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with the provisions of part 1.6 of division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, minimize the cost of collecting the transactions and use taxes, and at the same time, minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject to taxation under the provisions of this chapter.

3-6-4 Contract with state.

Prior to the operative date, the city shall contract with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to perform all functions incident to the administration and operation of this transactions and use tax ordinance; provided, that if the city shall not have contracted with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration prior to the operative date, it shall nevertheless so contract and in such a case the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter following the execution of such a contract.

3-6-6 Place of sale.

For the purposes of this chapter, all retail sales are consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property sold is delivered by the retailer or his/her agent to an outof-state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross receipts from such sales shall include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of business in the state or has more than one (1) place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are consummated shall be determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. (Ord. 22-0363 § 1)
3-6-7 Use tax rate.

An excise tax is hereby imposed on the storage, use or other consumption in the city of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer on and after the operative date of the ordinance codified in this chapter for storage, use or other consumption in said territory at the rate of one percent (1.00%) of the sales price of the property.

(Ord. 22-0363 § 1) 3-6-9 Limitations on adoption of state law and collection of use taxes.

In adopting the provisions of part 1 of division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code:

A. Wherever the state of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency, the name of the city shall be substituted therefor. However, the substitution shall not be made when:

1. The word “state” is used as a part of the title of the State Controller, State Treasurer, State Treasury, or the Constitution of the State of California; 188

2. The result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or against this city or any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this chapter.

3. In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to, sections referring to the exterior boundaries of the state of California, where the result of the substitution would be to:
a. Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the state under the provisions of part 1 of division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or b. Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under said provisions of that code.

4. In section 6701, 6702 (except in the last sentence thereof), 6711, 6715, 6737, 6797 or 6828 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

B. The word “city” shall be substituted for the word “state” in the phrase “retailer engaged in business in this state” in section 6203 and in the definition of that phrase in section 6203. (Ord. 22- 0363 § 1)
