AGENDA ITEM 6.d
Meeting Date: August 12, 2024
SUBJECT: Approve Final Map No. 30080 located at 539 Alisal Road (APN 139-41-004) for a Subdivision of an 11-unit Air-Space Condominium
PREPARED BY: Rodger Olds, Public Works Director
Rafael Castillo, AICP, Planning and Building Manager
DISCUSSION:
In November 2020, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Subdivision (Tract) Map and a Development Plan located at 539 Alisal Road (APN 139-143-004), in the Design Residential (DR) zone. The applicant’s initial tentative subdivision approval expired in November 2022 due to lack of a time extensions submitted. On December 4, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a “reconsideration” of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 30080, thereby providing an additional twoyears to allow for recordation of a final map.
The one lot subdivision would create 11 air space condominium units at located at 539 Alisal.
Construction at the project site has finished, along with all required public improvements. The 11 condominium units are proposed to be rental units at this time. The applicant seeks a subdivision to potentially sell the individual units in the future. The project was approved as a State Density Bonus project, therefore one (1) unit will be restricted for rent to an income qualified persons. It is expected that this two-bedroom unit will rent for approximately $1,740, consistent with current income limits established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development for Santa Barabra County for a household of three (3) persons.
Pursuant to the State Subdivision Map Act and the Solvang Municipal Code, the applicant has submitted a Final Map for City Council action and final acceptance. Both the City Engineer and Planning Manager have reviewed the Final Map, the approved tentative map, adopted conditions of approval, and final map requirements. The Final Map has been found to be in substantial conformance with the approved tentative subdivision map. Staff has also reviewed the Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CC & Rs), required drainage and maintenance easement to ensure consistency between the approved project, the Final Map, and the conditions of approval (PC Resolution No. 23-16) Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council accept the Final Map and authorize the City Clerk to sign and record the Final Map.
ALTERNATIVES:
None. Final maps are considered administrative actions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Applicant has paid the required final map fee and deposit required by the City Surveyor (Santa Barbara County).

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
Attachment A
58 For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

AGENDA ITEM 8.b
Meeting Date: August 12, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible action to approve Resolution 24-1269 Approving the 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal year 2024 through 2034 and authorize budget adjustments of $8,520,000 for fiscal year 2024-25 and $17,049,000 for FY 2025-26.
PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Director Administrative Services DISCUSSION:
The 2024-2026 budget was adopted on June 24, 2024; however, the 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was not included within that budget because the CIP had to be approved by the City of Solvang’s Planning Commission.
Government Code Section 65401 requires a regular programmatic level review of all major public works projects for conformity with the local General Plan. Government Code Section 65402 requires specific review of projects that involve acquisition/disposal of property, right of way vacation or construction of public buildings or structures, for conformity with the local General Plan.
At its August 5, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 24-05, that determined the City of Solvang’s 10-Year (CIP) is consistent with the City of Solvang’s 2045 General Plan.
The 10-Year CIP is an important financial planning process and document for the City of Solvang. This plan identifies the City’s immediate capital needs as well as seeks to capture long-term capital needs within the revenues available and lays out priorities making the City eligible for grant requests from the state and federal government. The plan is updated biennially along with the City’s biennial budget process and is subject to change as the City’s needs become more defined and individual projects move along in their respective planning and budgeting processes. The 10-Year CIP includes all the various capital projects that staff has identified through a thorough development process and will be added to the approved budget for fiscal year 2024-2026.
Below is a summary of the Funding Source by fund.
